Next Episode: Does Larry have what it takes to be a dad? (W/ Sheyn, The Crashing Dad)

Hey guys, we are going to postpone this week's episode until Saturday.

Resources as mentioned in this mini episode:

Guide for people looking to be an ALLY. This is a great, all in one resource. Please take a look.

8 can't wait. Please Please Please look at these proposed rules for police. Data proves that together these eight policies can decrease police violence by 72%

Michigan bail fund - The Michigan Solidarity Bail Fund is a project to bail out those most in need and those who put themselves at risk fighting for our collective freedom.

"There is no shame in admitting when you don't know something or are learning something new. This is a movement that requires continuous education and learning from each other. Racism is ingrained into every aspect of our lives, the government, our policing systems, even ourselves."

We believe that with the small platform we have, it is worth the effort to share some valuable resources to help the #BLM movement. Brian and I are by no means trying to pretend that we know what it is like to be back in this country. We do not have the answers. And, in fact we would encourage you to not even listen to this and instead click the resources we have linked above. We simply, want to share our thoughts, voice our concern, make our support heard, and take a tiny step towards a better world.

Links to issues that we critique on this mini episode, strictly for reference not as an endorsement:

Here is a link of the "want-to-be heros" pulling a gun on innocent protestors, as Larry mentioned.

Here are the loony toons who camped out with their automatic weapons on the roof of gamestop... Unfortunately, this is 100% Real.

Here is the cop who fell off of the van and pepper spray was his first instinct.
