Dude, Where's My Car? | Ep 176

Welcome back to another episode of Decoding 40! The podcast is now streaming in four countries in Africa! Thanks to everyone in the Motherland who is taking the time to listen to the show and share in the love.

This week the guys check in with the latest in their lives and the cost of living going through the roof. Are you feeling the pinch or is it just us? From loud patrons, lattes with too much mocha, and a family game night that goes bad for his wife and sons, Leon checks in with the latest in his daily life. Alaric gives the latest on his car issues. The car is repaired, but where is it exactly? And, why won’t they return it to him? Is it time to take things up a notch? Vin gives the latest in his Uber adventures with some young, sorority riders who are loud and obnoxious. He also talks about the strategy for maximizing his time on the road. And, do you tip your Uber drivers? If not, you may want to reconsider after this show.

The guys also talk about how Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is remixed in our current era of political correctness. This Week in Racism introduces us to a secretary with a lack of judgment and sends a racist text insulting the Dr. King holiday by referring it to N*gg*r Day. Racism is still alive, they’re just texting it now.

You’ll hear all of this and so much more on this episode of Decoding 40.

We Admit It | Ep 171

Welcome back to another episode of Decoding 40! The podcast is now picking up streams in Nebraska! Thanks to everyone in the Cornhusker State who is taking the time to listen to the show and share in the love.

This week, Rick returns home from Miami with a little something extra—Covid 19. And, positive test aside, Rick has been symptom-free and has been blessed with a case of Diet Covid. Vin and his family head over to the Bronx to celebrate Leon’s youngest’s 10th birthday. It was a great time that included food, fun, drinks, and games. Leon and his wife played gracious hosts at their son’s birthday event. He found himself in an almost road rage incident when he was duped by the “slow to move out of the spot” guy. We hate that guy!

Next, we discuss the release of Britney Griner and all the backlash from people who felt Paul Whelan would have made for a better swap. Did that have anything to do with America being racist? Lastly, we couldn’t let the 2-hour release of the R. Kelly album I Admit It go by without a review and official breakdown.

It was a beautiful ceremony with good food, friends, and family. Alaric is still down in South Beach finishing up at Art Basel. The Fearless Artist pop-up gallery was a success with one of the highlights being NORE as the opening night keynote speaker.

You’ll also get to where our new segment “For the Love of Money” where we ask if you could wear MAGA and White Lives Matter gear for two years, but not tell anyone why you’re wearing it.

This week, Rick checks in from Miami, where Art Basel is in full swing and he’s busy working with The Fearless Artist gallery.

Vin spends the Thanksgiving break at a potluck celebration hosted by Rick and his family. This time of the year is especially rough for some and Vin talks about his battle with depression.

Next, we discuss the controversy surrounding a recent Balenciaga ad that apparently included elements of BDSM and appeared to give a nod while paying homage to pedophilia and child pornography. In light of the backlash and outrage directed toward Kanye and Kyrie, the crew asks where are the calls for canceling this brand. And, oh yeah Jerry Jones gets some well-deserved heat for continually being on the wrong side of history when it comes to race relations in this country. Don’t think we forgot about you Jerral Wayne Jones!
