Hello and welcome to a very special episode of trends like these.

If you're joining us, let me just go ahead and preface

if this is your first episode

and you're joining us for the first time.

This is not a regular episode of trends like these.

Normally, we go through different stories,

whatever's trending on Facebook or Twitter

throughout the week.

Some of it light-hearted, some of it more dramatic, some of it media, some of it political.

But this week, we discussed it and both came to the same conclusion. I should say I'm Travis Mcroy and joining me. Hello Brent.

Hi Travis is Brent Black, my co-host. We discussed it and came to the conclusion

that the only story we wanted to focus on this week

was the events in Charlottesville, Virginia

at the Unite the Right rally this past weekend and we also came to the

conclusion that unlike normal usually we will you know find a bunch of different sources read through a bunch of different sources, read through a bunch of different coverage of the story,

and try to aggregate the truth as we see it within the story. But in this circumstance, we decided that our

voices are not the ones that should be explaining our reactions to this,

should not be the ones trying to sum it up

for a myriad of reasons, but mostly.

Certainly not the only ones.

Yeah, yeah, we wanted to talk to people who actually experienced it and experience it every day and

experience it in a much more personal way than we do.
