Welcome back to another episode of Decoding 40. This week, Alaric is on the road again for another production project and is getting his fill of shrimp po’boy sandwiches with a side of fried pickles. Vin is still building his voiceover career while supplementing his income with ride-sharing adventures. L.O. meets with some bright minds of the future and gives his review on the series Them.

The guys talk about the decision of the New York governor and mayor to take a zero-tolerance policy on the vagrancy and homelessness that’s overrun the MTA due to the rash of violent incidents that have affected the system. The conversation also touches on reports that Mayor Adams’ new budget will see an increase in the NYPD budget while social services and education budgets will be dramatically slashed.

Next, in This Week in Racism, the guys talk about the recent viral video of two police officers violently breaking up a fight in a New Jersey mall. The officers quickly moved to restrain a Black teenager, while taking a strikingly passive approach to the other teenager who apparently appeared white to them. And, lastly, the guys talk about a recent story out of Salt Lake City, Utah where an apparent shootout occurred between the police and … a four year old?

You’ll hear this and so much more on the latest episode of Decoding40.

Alaric has a Covid scare with his youngest son but all is well after the test came back negative.

Lastly, we discuss Mayor Eric Adams rehashing an old cultural war strategy that pits hip hop as the cause for societal ill rather than addressing the social issues that are plaguing American youth.

Welcome back to another episode of Decoding 40. This week Vin starts the check-in with some good news on his ice-cream dreams as he moves closer to building his consumer packaged goods empire.  L spends time with family celebrating his niece’s 10th birthday.  Rick and his Ring camera have become the unofficial neighborhood watch. Mack has been bit by the watch bug as he is vigilant about investigating suspicious behaviors in his neighborhood. 

Next, we discuss the legislation starting next year, in New York, where 800,000 legal permanent residents will be eligible to vote in municipal elections. Is it a good idea to permit non-naturalized persons to vote? If you work and pay into the system shouldn’t you be allowed to determine who is elected? Or, does your privilege end at enjoying the services provided by the city?  In this week’s installment of This Week in Racism, we discuss the bizarre story in Las Vegas where a 23-year old Black man was arrested on a warrant that was issued on a 49-year old white man, with a bushy white beard and blue eyes.
