Be A Father to Your Child | Episode 109

We’re back! And, school is fully back in session after a year and a half of distance learning and it’s safe to say the crew is very happy.  Alaric’s son gets suited and booted up for his day of Pre-k.  He and his wife hire a new babysitter to help manage the day-to-day operations at home. Vin’s youngest starts High School and he’s super proud of her.  Life has its ups and downs but he’s learning how to navigate in this new phase of life.  Like all of us, L.O. is happy that his sons are back in school and is spending the extra time binging on some of his favorite TV programs.  Mack’s business is booming but with that comes lawyers, lawyers, and more lawyers.  More money, more problems. 

Next, the crew has a heartfelt conversation on the topic of fatherhood.  They share their experiences of being dads and how they navigate these uncharted waters without having some lessons from their own fathers.  

Lastly, we ended with another installment of L.Dots letters and this one comes from a married woman whose husband sneaks into her phone for her content. She thinks he’s stealing. Who’s right? The fellas weigh in.

Tomorrow's War Today | Episode 108

Alaric shares a story of an accident in his neighborhood and he thinks the NYPD has given up. Mack shares a similar story with a twist, where he gets into a high-speed chase as a self-deputized crimefighter. L.O. celebrates his eldest son going to high school while his youngest has a new obsession with Hamilton the musical. Mack orders some toys online and reminiscences on when toy stores existed.

Next, we discuss the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and where we were on that fateful day. This attack changed the American experience as we knew it forever. We also introduce a new segment: Negroes at the Theatre. Our first review is of the sci-fi movie, Tomorrow War. Is Hollywood actively pushing a subtle white supremacist agenda?

Lastly, we pay our respects to the iconic film and television actor, Michael K Williams, who recently died at the age of 54 in his New York apartment. His portrayals in the Wire, Boardwalk Empire, and Lovecraft Country were nothing less than stellar and cemented his legacy in the arts. He will be truly missed.
