Unfortunately, Joel and I have been quite busy, so we skipped a week. Our episode this week began with us pouring some delicious Belching Beaver Brew, a peanut flavored beer that knocked our socks off. For our FRED talks, Jose discussed the passing of Stephen Hawking, the reknowned astrophysicist who persevered in his work despite suffering from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). And Joel quizzed Jose regarding where the Christ's followers were first called Christians-- leading to a discussion about how many of today's refugees from that region are Christians (who call God Allah). We then dived right into part 2 of our discussion about race, ranging from stereotypes to comedy to quotas. We spent a fair bit of time talking about whether or not diversity is something we should care about, as well as the idea that American culture is the most exceptional one on earth. As we wound down, Joel and I both discussed an article that appeared in the Atlantic written by Michael Gerson, entitled The Last Temptation. But Joel also took a few minutes to talk about the Breeders latest album All Nerve, and I couldn't help but nerd-out over the latest Avengers: Infinity War trailer. We hope that you find the conversation informative, and we hope that you will join us next week! Salut!
