The Powell men begin this episode with a discussion of yet another police shooting of an unarmed person of color. This time its 13 year old Adam Toledo in Chicago. While the circumstances are murky the results are the same. The conversation becomes heated as the men try to make sense of the senseless. They reference the Netflix movie Two Distant Strangers which documents a young Black man's repeated encounters and subsequent deaths by police in a never ending loop. The conversation turns to a discussion of The New York Knicks' resurgence and Kevin Durant's latest injury. Finally the fellas have a laugh at the prospect of 58 year-old former Heavyweight Champ Evander Holyfield returning to the ring.
