This is an unlocking of an episode that was previously only available to Patreon subscribers. In light of the recent Amber Guyger sentencing yesterday and the spectacle of apologies by the victim's family members since, along with the performative hugging and hair-combing of Amber Guyger by the Black judge and the Black deputy in the courtroom, we decided to unlock the episode due to it being especially relevant again.
