Dávon, Nikki, and David cut to the chase and talk openly about how race, class, and gender effect how celebrity failures are perceived. We discuss, Sean "Puff Daddy, Diddy" Combs, Lizzo, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Kumail Nanjiani and, as always, Pete Davidson.

No Soup For You! Diddy? Unfortunately, yes he did.

Shannon Bohrer, served 27 years in the Marland State Police – but it was a case where he was an investigator that caused him to re-examine the criminal legal system.

He wrote the book Judicial Soup which “examines the need for criminal justice reforms through a case in which an innocent person was found guilty of a crime he did not commit.”

As his book explains, “The story is simple, yet the judicial process evolved into a complex event. It is a crime story that featured too many players, some with individual motives, shoddy police work, prosecutors who would say anything to win, and a judge who seemed to ignore evidence that did not fit his mental model of the case. If this were a novel, no one would believe it.”

The book addresses the larger need for criminal justice reform – listen as Shannon Bohrer describes his experience and what he learned through his involvement in this case.

Lyrics
These Things Happen

(Chorus)
Ma, the Lord spoke to me last night
Didn’t understand what he said
But, the Lord came to me last night
Left his voice inside my head

(V1)
Went off to church this morning
The smiling Reverend looked my way
Kicked some stones along the road
Didn’t know what I could say

(V2)
He stood by the stained glass window
Just beneath the angel’s wing
Then read from the Holy Scriptures
Didn’t know if I could sing

(Chorus)

(V3)
His voice was warm and gentle
Just like I had heard before
He raised his hands in hallelujah
And I knew I was his unholy war

(V4)
Daddy held my hand so tightly
He knew there was something wrong
Pulled a gun from his jacket pocket
In a flash the Lord was gone

(Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)

(Outro)
Daddy spoke to me last night
Didn’t understand what he said
But, Daddy came to me last night
Left his voice inside my head
