Episode 79 - Kids Are Dumb

In this episode of The Chris and Andre Show, the guys share their thoughts on the passing of Colin Powell, review Venom 2 and past Sony/Marvel films, discuss the ongoing struggles Facebook finds themselves in, throw the old pigskin around in sports, and somehow close things out with a really poignant statement on race and fear.

(00:00:00) Intros (00:00:50) Politics - The passing of General Colin Powell has both Chris and Andre missing the type of calm, steady leadership he provided at time (www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/politics…ell-dies/index.html), and they also discuss the impending civil suits that are now moving forward against the previous White House resident (www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-t…ns-begin-n1281612).

(00:36:49) Pop Culture - Chris went to the theaters to see Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage with little-to-no expectations and yet… This leads the guys down a bit of a rabbit hole, debating the quality of the past Spiderman films produced by Sony and whether or not Marvel could have done a better job with Venom. The guys discuss their comfort level with going to movie theaters.

(00:46:12) Social Media - The guys talk about one of their new favorite podcasts, This Week in Google hosted by Leo Laporte, and the host they had on last week who discussed Facebook’s ban of a UK developer, Chris explains his new Facebook Experiment and says Instagram will be next.

(01:19:53) Sports - Chris actually got to enjoy watching the N.C. State Wolfpack play some football this past weekend, Andre is done with Teddy Bridgewater as QB of his Broncos so Chris proposes a solution that will make everyone happy. And North Carolina is back in the news, this time for a Charlotte school hanging a not-so-great banner idea before the start of a football game.

Chris and Andre circle back to the Jon Gruden emails, which then leads them back to discussing the Dave Chappelle special.
