TW: EXISTENTIAL THREATS!!!! no joke, if you are generally susceptible to conspiracy theories, existential crises, etc., PLEASE take jalen's warning seriously and skip ahead to 01:30:00! but anywho... WE BACK BABY!!! sorry for the long delay, life has been a lot lately, but we are getting back on track to release more consistently. also THANK Y'ALL FOR 300+ VIEWS WTF!?!?!?!? we talk about a range of things in this one: global politics, the history of music, kendrick lamar's new album, and most importantly, the lovely portrait of jalen himself on the cover of this episode. we also made another departure from our usual episodic format, and for that we apologize: we had a lot of lost time to make up for, which meant we had a lot of unfocused rambling to do. ENJOY!
