Summary

Quarantine is over. (Kinda.) But now the world is on fire for a totally different reason— the protests opposing police brutality against Black Americans, and the murder of George Floyd. And that’s the only thing worth talking about at the moment. So that’s what Matt talks about— he covers the righteousness and simplicity of the underlying principle of the protests, the unbelievable degree to which Donald Trump is a massive pussy and his hypocritical response to the actions of the protestors, the asshole opportunists trying to fuck up the protests and turn them into their own shittier cause— and the stark difference between how white people say they feel around cops versus how black people say they feel around cops. Somehow a story about Matt tripping and falling on his first day of basketball practice sneaks in there too. But that is just a minor detail. (ALSO: IF YOU’RE PROTESTING, WEAR A MASK!!!)
