The Great Unifier

from Best Friend Weekend Podcast · host Best Friend Weekend

Donald Trump started it, so we had to discuss it. We started this week’s pod with the rationale behind us calling Donald Trump the “Great Unifier”, which was completely tongue-in-cheek (03:00). We continued this conversation and debated if it is appropriate to sit or kneel during the national anthem (12:00), tried to understand what people are really upset about (20:00), and hypothesized if we would kneel or not (26:00). To be truly inclusive, we examined the other side of the protest and tried to comprehend how the flag lovers feel (33:00) with Aldo presenting an analogy that might help black people realize the disconnect (39:00). Ray Lewis was definitely a topic of discussion (45:00) leading into more Trump talk (50:00), and a nod to Maliah Michael (52:00). After Nothing NICE To Say (57:00), the podcast ended with the president’s tweet about uninviting the Golden State Warriors to the White House (1:00:00).
