Ep.191 - The Commonwealth Games & Arguing

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. WNBA star Brittney Griner is sentenced to nine years in a Russian Penal Colony.
2. London Museum is returning 72 Benin Treasures to Nigeria.
3. Olivia Newton-John dies aged 73.
4. FBI raids Mar-a-Lago.
5. Legendary Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier dies aged 81.

In Sports: (5:05) The Commonwealth Games have come and gone and whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the buffet of sports, it's Empire legacy cannot be ignored.

In the 1st of two Society segments: (22:56) There's a ton of things going on right now in Britain that highlight the dying embers of the 70s, and it might be a continuation of it.

In Film/TV: (39:11) When looking at Netflix subscriber count, it's clear that the streaming giant is bleeding. There are many reasons for this, one of which is their dedication to flushing hundreds of millions of dollars into mid blockbusters.

Lastly, in the 2nd Society segment: (52:30) Arguing is everywhere. From the debate perverts on social media to daily print & TV news media. But do we even know how to argue properly?
