Today, Trevor and Ken sit down for a special 3 part marathon episode! Delving deep into what the Sharks refer to as ‘Future Killers’, Ken and Trevor examine why no new innovation is being built for the betterment of future life, but rather innovations are just retooling an old and tired package. Dissecting the evolution of Black Conservatism and Liberal ‘shucking and jiving’ as examples of the watering down of our ability to progress, plus taking a raw look at Charlamagnes recent interview with Larry Elder; the Sharks go into deep and dark waters in this three and half hour long conversation.

Today Trevor Vida and Kenny sit down to give their reviews of the movie ‘They Cloned Tyrone’. A pulpy, sci-fi mystery caper in which an unlikely trio investigates a series of eerie events, alerting them to a nefarious conspiracy lurking directly beneath their hood. Fontaine, a neighborhood drug dealer, is shot dead by rival Isaac and then is very shocked to wake up in his bed the next morning unharmed. He and Slick Charles and Yo-Yo begin looking into the incident, and their search eventually leads them to a vast underground complex where a government backed lab is performing experiments on the local Black population. Realizing that he is an artificial clone controlled by Nixon, Fontaine initially feels despair, but decides he needs to stand up to these White institutional overlords for the sake of his neighborhood.
