With Quianna away on "sick leave", Jeff and John take a different approach to this weeks episode. We discuss black twitter and our "Cancel Culture". We have an up and down discussion where John contradicts himself and Jeff changes his mind on the topic. Who decides who gets canceled? Is there a master list? Can we un-cancel celebrities/public figures? Why aren't we policing our own when it comes to toxic behaviors in the community?
