Hey Fam! This episode starts out pretty serious with a story from Kenny in regards to an experience he encountered recently with a racially aggressive driver and how it rekindled an idea that The Father's Group had a few years ago around the time of the murder of George Floyd and the upheaval that we experienced in this country in 2020. The Father's Group is launching a program called Drive with Dignity and we talk more about how the program is going to work on this episode. We will be posting a link soon on how to contribute to this program to get Dashcams into the cars of POC across Central Oregon to be able to provide ways to keep record of incidents that they encounter while out and about. We also cover some topics that are current nationwide, a trip to the past and how it relates to the present, and much more.  Other Topics covered in this episode: * Boogedy Boogedy Boo... * Drive with Dignity * Rationalizing Racism * Check That Dude's Basement * RaptureCore * So Many Guillotines  * Put The Phones Away * Hat & Glasses Off Episode * Past the Verge of WWIII * Figure Out What First Means * Say The Lords Prayer & Be Racist * We're At War, This Baby has GAS!
