| 0:00.0 | All right guys, let's do it. We're gonna have the conversation about Jordan Neely and ask ourselves, |
| 0:05.2 | is this the new George Floyd? Let's get into it. |
| 0:22.9 | What's up guys and happy Friday. Welcome to Unapologetic. I'm your host, |
| 0:26.0 | Amela Epinobie. We have Taylor in Nashville. |
| 0:31.7 | And we have Scott in the producers, May. What's up everyone? |
| 0:34.6 | All right guys, I hope you're having a fantastic Friday. Let me know your weekend plans in the |
| 0:39.0 | chat down below. Today we're going to have a conversation about the newest media headline that is |
