ABOUT THIS EPISODE
TEXANS: the deadline to register for the November 3 election is
MONDAY, OCTOBER 5. Check your registration now at VoteTexas.gov.
More than a million Texans were recently placed on the voter suspense
list and have until Oct. 5 to update their address.
Converse put out an ad. A lot of people looked at it and saw a noose and a Klan hood. Converse apologized. The question on the table: is "sorry" worth anything if it doesn't cost you anything?
Marv B, Lav and Aryka start with a pair of Chucks and end up at the whole architecture of Black spending power: why boycotts don't hold, who gets rich off trolling us, and what it would actually take to move money on purpose.
Along the way: Jasmine Crockett honoring Chris Brown and Usher, what the Congressional Record actually is, whether "I'm not political" is ever an acceptable answer, and the cranberry sauce that almost broke the Target boycott.
