    OUR FIRST EPISODE! Literally making it up us we go lol. Malcolm starts us off with the story about the strange white dude at the spaceballs convention in Fargo, North Dakota that took photos of us without our permission. After that we kind of jumped around the topics of race, sports, politics, and immigration, and tied most of them back to sports. George Floyd and Drew Brees and all that came with their names was discussed in one way or another, all while plying a friendly game of Chess(Trey won after we finished recording). So please listen and just enjoy the ride as we kick this thing off! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chessnotcheckerspodcast/message
