EP544 | The Devil Don’t Need An Advocate

from ShopTalkPodcast

J and Dame are back for another week of ShopTalk. This week, Dame reflects on approaching the one-year anniversary of his open-heart surgery and unexpectedly running into the surgeon who performed it. The guys also get into a hung jury and the justice system, how much money it would take to give up a guaranteed Lions Super Bowl, and how the internet has changed our perception of what counts as “a lot of money.” Later, the conversation turns to hip-hop, Detroit, community responsibility and accountability. J and Dame discuss childhood trauma, making excuses for bad behavior, faith, and the point where understanding why someone acts a certain way doesn’t remove their responsibility for what they do. Plus, J gives an update on his photography giveaway, and the guys celebrate some good news that arrives during the recording. Another week of laughs, real conversations and the usual ShopTalk detours. Music Pick of the Week: 🎵 Big Gov ft.
