#20: Omniboi's path toward a full-time music production and performing career isn't like what you see in so many other musicians. He doesn't have a musical family, didn't go to music school, and didn't start music lessons when he was 3 years old. In fact, he didn't even have a love of music when he was growing up, either. Omniboi is a perfect example of how you don't need to be a childhood prodigy, or even focused on music early in your life to "make it" in this field. In this episode, we talk about finding your own way into music, how practice doesn't have to be a torturous process, and so much more.

The most subscribed to creator on YouTube said the 'N' word, in public, on a live stream. What do Atlanta teens think about that? The VOXCast explores Pewdiepie's statements, his response, and what his fans have to say on our third episode. Special thanks to Omniboi for the music in this episode! https://soundcloud.com/omniboi EDITOR'S NOTE: This episode is particularly explicit due to the nature of our topic. Sometimes things get heated and the language we use reflects that, but the fact that Pewdiepie continues to be successful after having dropped a slur in a live stream speaks volumes to the mindset of the internet community and the world as a whole.
In the 4th episode of Aider & Abettor, Sajid and Avi start with the "Opening Statement" where they discuss recent mass ICE raids across our country, particularly the arrest of a woman at an El Paso County Courthouse as she sought a restraining order against her alleged domestic abuser and how it will impact our criminal justice system and victims rights (0:30). They break down the detention of Daniel Ramirez Medina, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipient, commonly referred to as a “Dreamer,” the legal effort to get him out and his alleged gang affiliations (08:30). In the "Deep Dive" segment, they talk about the arrest of Lauren Kirk-Coehlo for an alleged vandalism of a mosque in Davis, California (18:19). They dive into the layers of this arrest and incident including the Muslim community’s reaction to the alleged hate crime, the $1 million bail amount, Lauren’s reported social media glorification of violent behavior, the media’s use of her yearbook picture rather than a mugshot, whether we’d represent her and what her punishment should look like. Sajid and Avi finish up with their "Thing(s)" of the week (44:50). Sajid shares Defy Ventures, a program designed to channel the talents of the currently and formerly incarcerated in our community into entrepreneurship. Avi recounts the beautiful words of Davis Mayor Robb Davis on shame and then laments about the Sacramento Kings and their owner Vivek Ranadive’s trade of Demarcus “Boogie” Cousins. Our intro is by Lee Rosevere (https://soundcloud.com/happypuppyrecords). Our transitions and outro are by OmniBoi (https://soundcloud.com/omniboi)
In the 3rd episode of Aider and Abettor, Sajid and Avi start with the "Opening Statement" where they discuss the Super Bowl, Kyle Shanahan and their mutual San Francisco 49ers fandom (and lack of trust in Jed York) (0:30). They break down the 49ers’ head coach and front office hires and assess Shanahan in light of his and the Falcons’ Super Bowl meltdown. They consider one bonus outcome of the Super Bowl: the decision by several Patriots players, including Chris Long, not to attend the traditional trip to the White House (09:00). In the "Deep Dive" segment, they assess Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch (14:06). They share their opinions on Gorsuch’s nomination as criminal defense practitioners, review his background, and dive into some of his judicial opinions that impact criminal justice. Sajid and Avi then delve into the importance of judicial independence in light of President Trump’s recent Twitter tirades. Sajid and Avi finish up with their "Thing(s)" of the week (41:08). Sajid recounts the time he booed Jason Giambi at the Oakland Coliseum and shares his empathy for Oklahoma City Thunder fans after Kevin Durant left them for the Warriors. They both understood booing Kevin Durant the player, but honor Kevin Durant the man. Avi shouts out Omniboi and his music (we feature Omniboi's Bad and Boujee Remix in this episode). He also describes some of the thrills of coaching high school mock trial.
