In this week’s episode, Vin starts the check-in this week celebrating his 16th wedding anniversary. He and his wife take a trip to the city to enjoy some Korean BBQ and drinks. Leon has a run-in with a junior Karen while at his Godsons memorial. Apparently, there’s no chill when it comes to a know-it-all Nancy. Rick celebrated his 8th wedding anniversary with a much-needed staycation at the Standard Hotel in the city. Nothing like two days of no kids and doing absolutely NOTHING! Mack finishes off the check-in acknowledging his baby girl’s six-month milestone, which means it’s time for his wife to head back to the office. Luckily, he’ll have the help of his in-laws with childcare.

Next, we discuss Clarence Thomas and his not-so-conservative viewpoint of this country’s outdated marijuana prohibition laws. This segues into a discussion on the conservative views of the Supreme Court and how they are influenced by the political climate. Lastly, we finish up the show with a controversial conversation on stop and frisk policy and how the front runner in the NYC mayoral race favors the controversial and unconstitutional policy.

This is the 100th episode! 

The podcast has gone through several evolutions including the format, personnel, and of course the locations in which it’s recorded. It started in the small hot box studio in a WeWork, then the guys eventually began recording at Gotham Podcast Studios. And, today, due to the pandemic, they are recording from their homes. But, the show has only gotten better over time.

In this episode, the guys celebrate this milestone by strolling down memory lane and talking about the ups and downs of producing a talk show with your friends.  We want to thank everyone who has had a hand in getting the show to this point. You all are appreciated and we look forward to bringing you more great content as we explore life from the perspective of four Black men enjoying life after 40.

This episode of Decoding 40 is packed with laughs, behind the scenes audio, and so much more.

After a little over a year in the making, L discusses his new business venture olive oil infused with CBD called DRZL.  Alaric joins us from L.A. but his Apple laptop seems to have a worm in it.  Meanwhile, Vin is having a pretty uneventful week except for refinancing his home. Lastly, Mack is listening to the universe to learn patience and acceptance. 

Are we living in the “upside down”? Left is right. Right is left. Wrong is right. Football players, basketball players, and YouTubers are now boxing professional boxers, celebrities are running for office and national political parties have amped up the fighting within their own ranks. Everything is completely out of whack!

For Vin, it’s back to work and business as usual. Alaric has a visit from father time when he wakes up with aches and pains. Lastly, Leon shares some unfortunate news of his godson, Zion Rogers, untimely passing.  May God bless his spirit and his soul Rest in Power.  

Back in the news, is the trash bag known as Amy “Call the Cops” Cooper.  The crew discusses the lawsuit she’s filed against her former employer claiming racial discrimination.   The caucacity of this woman is the easy winner for This Week in Racism.

L starts the episode talking about his new quilty pleasure on MTV called How Far is Tattoo Far;  Vin’s vacation is winding down and he and his wife and their dog enjoy a nature hike; Alaric and his wife have their first adult outing since the pandemic, and Mack is resolving some infrastructure problems at home in the midst of paying $45 in smoothies?!

Next, we discuss Byron Allen and his lawsuit filed against McDonald’s.  McDonald’s spends a measly $5M of their $1.6 billion advertising budget with Black media outlets. Meanwhile, the Black community contributes to 40% of their profits. Something is definitely fishy and it’s not those nasty fish filets.
