Society & Culture


Tim talks about what he's been up to this week as he finished his time with Wells Fargo and prepares to head back to Lowe's. How he and Olga had some good food and Bonefish Grill and Cabo Fish Taco. (0:38)A new Mac Miller project comes out January 17th. Tim discusses his thoughts on the debut single and his expectations for "Circles", the posthumous release from Mac. (3:45)The Vault: Shortly after Mac's passing in September 2018, Tim recorded a track paying tribute to the artist and decided this would be a great time to debut it for the world. Check out the track, "Close to Home". (9:36)Celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels commented on Lizzo's weight in a recent interview and Tim has some questions about the outrage culture and claiming that Lizzo is being fat-shamed by the comments Michaels made. (13:37)Sports Microcosm: Every season when new NFL head coaches are being hired by teams, the Rooney Rule comes up. The rule that requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate. In 17 years of the rules existence, it hasn't solved the lack of minority coaches in the NFL. (23:41)Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens lost to the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Divisional Playoffs on Saturday and the hot takes and strong defenses flew about the likely MVP QB. Tim says both sides are missing the mark in their analysis of Jackson. (42:23)Parting Thought: The outrage culture and the move to make snap, reactionary judgments aren't benefiting anyone in our society. A lot of the topics discussed on this episode are examples of those views and they only cause more division between people. (47:47)
