TKAM #774 Who Saved Alabama? #AirOutWednesday
Summary: We love sharing the news with our listeners. We really do. But that means looking at everything at the news every day. And you know what? People really make us look forward to Wednesday. Oh, we got air outs. #AiroutWednesday TK and Conscious begin the show by talking about their volunteer experience with children. They’re all sweet until the world ruins them. The conversation also turns to adoption and foster children. In #NewsYouCanUse: Roy Moore lost the race for Alabama senate thanks to Black votes. What does this say about the American election culture? USA Today declares that Trump is “unfit to clean Obama’s toilets.” The vote for Net Neutrality approaches, people need to move fast. A Day To Mention Bullying: Keaton Jones is under fire after his bullying video lead to his mother’s confederate pictures. Two young girls of color (10 and 13) have commited suicide in the past few months due to bullying. Adult film star August Ames commited suicide after being cyberbullied over tweets. TK and Conscious use the news to lead us into old topics that are still alive: The disenfranchised vote, how can bullying be stopped. They might not have any answers, but someone has to talk about race, politics, and society. It’s always time to talk about issues. Except for gun control. Somehow it’s never time to talk about it despite all the shootings going on. Just saying. #AiroutWednesday RUNDOWN 00:00 #SONG: Sam Trump - Wasn’t Looking 5:10 Intro: TK and Conscious volunteered; the carefreeness that children teach us 21:05 #SONG: Danger Doom - Sofa King (feat.
