Juneteenth was officially declared a federal holiday on June 17, 2021, over 150 years since its first anniversary. Is the first national holiday to be codified since MLK Day a sincere acknowledgment of America’s dark history or merely a distraction and tip-of-the-hat?  Listen and share your thoughts as JAG and TLeake debate whether a federal holiday celebrating “Black freedom” signifies enough.  Please email us at nostupidquestionsshow@gmail.com to let us know what you think.

On the heels of Mother's Day, JAG and TLeake turn their attention to the female lead.  Given how the critics and the public rate action movies/shows that feature women, JAG and TLeake debate whether the viewing public can accept a woman superhero.  Their views differ (or do they really), so the hosts try to convince the other of their case. What do you think?  Email us at nostupidquestionsshow@gmail.com to let us know.

Pending the sentencing, JAG and TLeake debate whether a guilty verdict on 3 counts = justice served for George Floyd.  Given the uniquely excruciating details of George Floyd's murder, many believed it was a watershed moment, a moment of realization for many that it was a bridge too far.  Has justice been served when so many others before him and after him continue to suffer the same fate?  Check it out, then let us know where you stand.
