The Brighter Side is brought to you by Audible.com. Go to A side. Hello, everybody. Thank you for

to the brighter side this week. And like always, when something crazy happens, when something serious happens, we like to address it as it's going down rather than in the past. And last time we had to talk about the Eric Gardner protest. And it is a very sad thing that we have to have this same conversation and about what's going

on in the world and why this keeps happening and why everyone's so pissed off and I don't know

where my place is in this I don't know what I'm supposed to do to make this a better situation

for people and so the only thing that we have is this show and uh and i think that the

only thing that we can do to help the situation is uh personally us is to talk about it and is to raise

awareness and make sure people know about what's going on so uh that's what we're going to be doing here today on the brighter side.

And we're going to try and find the good out of this.

I don't know what it is.

But hopefully we can come to some kind of conclusion.

Thank you, everyone, for showing up.

Very depressed. All right. And basically, and if we piss you off, you got to let us know immediately. Don't let it just scoot by. We say something that sounds horrible. You know, correct us, please. Yeah, I mean, I also like horrible things. It helps me deal with it.

Fair enough. It has to be funny.

Mike, you're from Baltimore, buddy. What's it like when you were driving to work every day?

And is that different than it is now or what?

You see the boarded up houses every day you drive to work. There's five houses in the street that people live in. Yeah. You know what the police do. Like, you're burning down your own neighborhood. What they're doing is justified. They're just doing the wrong way. You want to go out to somebody. go out to the people are doing it to you last year last year in
