#33: New Zealand Tragedy — My Take As A Muslim

Hey friends, Dayyum, this one was not easy to record. I’m glad we did, tho.  As a Muslim myself and regular mosque-goer, I was shaken up by the mass shooting in Christchurch, New Zealand. My guest Sam Prickett and I open by discussing my experience of the tragedy,  which happened the same day we taped the show.  Though Sam isn’t Muslim, he’s actually gone with me to Friday prayer before, so he could relate to the peace and stillness there was in the mosque moments before the tragedy took place.  After this, we jump into talk‘mbout some bidness news and other sh!t. Rich parents bribing SAT proctors (or, per Sam, proctologists)?! And TWO Wall Street executives caught up in all this?! And what kinda bullsh!t is the FAA on? FAA was TOTALLY cool with TWO Boeing MAX 8 crashes?! Surprise, surprise — Donny T & Boeing’s CEO are boys. Solution? Swap out Air Force One with a MAX 8.  We finish up with Brexit. Britain wants a divorce from Europe. Only problem is they’re still sleeping on the couch and refuse to move all their sh!t outta the house.  Happy listening!
