Coming to you from Columbus, Ohio! #DemFultons take a break from our holiday vacation to bring you part 2 of our discussion on the Thanksgiving season which we did in season 1. In this episode we discuss the TRUE history of what is now known as Thanksgiving. We try our best to give honor and respect to our Native American family as we debunk myths and folklore while discovering the real reason why some people choose not to celebrate the holiday.

Over the past couple of weeks social media has been flooded with news, videos, memes, and joke posts following a video allegedly featuring prominent Pastor David Wilson performing oral sex on a woman who was identified as NOT being his wife.

We discuss this epidemic of church mockery, both targeted and self-inflicted, and possible solutions.
