Episode 30: The Florida Department of Corrections Has Some Explaining to Do // Lake Butler, FL This week we will be going to Lake Butler, FL, home of the Simmer Down Lakeside Grill and not one, but two prisons. Aren't they lucky? We will be talking about a murder for hire plot involving a corrections officer, the Ku Klux Klan, and an undercover FBI Agent. Trigger warnings are of course necessary for this story as we will be discussing white supremacy, hate crimes, and police brutality in this episode. In addition, we just want to take a second to send our condolences to those who have been impacted by Hurricane Ian. Though this story comes to you from an area impacted by the storm, it was actually recorded several weeks ago. Finally, we discuss the importance of voting in local and state elections to effect change in law enforcement in your area. Websites discussed in that segment include https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote & https://ballotpedia.org/Sample_Ballot_Lookup.

Insecure just ended it's season and the duo can barely believe it. Give that show more episodes, dammit! James watched the HBO documentary on Jane Fonda and was reminded why he loved her so much. Such an amazing life! Nnekay could relate since she watched the recent Quincy Jones Documentary. It's wonderful to honor our heroes while they are alive. Nnekay found a new video game called Supreme Courtship... about dating justices... which is as problematic as you would think it is. In the Korners- James is Getting us pumped for this November with ALL the facts on why it is truly important and necessary to make sure we all get out there and VOTE. He breaks down the Michael Moore Film 11/9 and how this could be the possible end to our democracy. Nnekay has a another great book list for you- this time on how to teach your children about consent and help curb toxic masculinity.
