🎙️ Hey y’all, it’s been a minute.

This bonus episode of Three for the Founders is what happens when travel plans, grammar jokes, and breaking news collide. Hours after Charlie Kirk was shot, the hosts ask: was it an assassination or did that fool just get shot? They pull apart how the media frames violence, what it says about our politics, and why America still clings to the myth that killing “the bad guy” somehow makes things right.

And it’s not all heavy — there’s banter about speaking three languages in Morocco, the eternal fight over the Oxford comma, and why “I got you” in Black English does more work than a whole paragraph. The team also gets real about their own dynamics — who’s facilitating, who’s participating — and share some big news: the podcast is moving to a biweekly release schedule. Next drop? September 30th.

So: is violence ever redemptive, or just another myth we tell ourselves? Is “assassination” a political word, or just a shiny label the media slaps on whoever’s trending? And, most importantly… why does “probologetic” kinda sound like a word we need?

Good morning, family. You’re tuned in to Three for the Founders, and we’re coming at you this Monday, September 16th with a brand-new episode that runs a smooth 65 minutes and change.

This week, John, Lybroan, and Antonio start with the kind of banter that’ll have you grinning before you sip your coffee—debating whether it’s sock-sock, shoe-shoe or sock-shoe, sock-shoe (and yes, they manage to turn even that into a DEI joke). They shout out friends from Santa Clara to the San Fernando Valley—and even a new listener tuning in all the way from Vietnam.

Then the crew flips the beat and goes deep:

• What does it mean when we talk about “white time” versus communal rhythms of the global majority?

• How do Black and Brown teachers shift classroom culture from rigid bells and whistles to gatherings that begin when the people are ready?

• And what really happened with integration after Brown v. Board—was it about race, or about resources?

Along the way you’ll hear stories of math made dope, classrooms as lifelong families, Mama James’ “check and hug” survival strategy, and why speaking—like jazz—ain’t about hitting every note, it’s about knowing when to improvise.

And before they sign off, the hosts draw a sharp line between everyday prejudice and the weight of systemic racism backed by government power. It’s candid, it’s layered, it’s got humor and heart—just like hip hop radio in its golden age, but with that NPR-level reflection.

So hit play, stay with us, and when it’s done—share it with somebody who can use it, or somebody who can challenge it. Because these conversations don’t end here, they keep moving when you bring them into your world.

🎙️ This week on Three for the Founders, the hosts dive into one of the most pressing and uncomfortable realities of our time: racism, proximity, and the ways white supremacy quietly weaves itself into the fabric of modern society.

In this unreleased conversation—titled Exploring Racism and Proximity in Modern Society—you’ll hear candid stories of family, history, and lived experience. The hosts wrestle with parallels between current government actions against communities of color and the haunting echoes of the Holocaust. They unpack how white privilege often goes unnoticed, and how the lack of genuine proximity between people of different races fuels misunderstanding and division.

You’ll also hear Lybroan share a story about sitting down with Peggy McIntosh, the scholar who first coined the term white privilege, and what that moment revealed about hidden advantages many never think twice about. And the metaphor of people of color as “zoo animals”—observed, but not truly engaged—invites listeners to question their own roles in systems of passive observation.

✨ Here are a few questions we invite you to consider as you listen:

• What happens when we move beyond observation and into genuine proximity?
• How do our personal stories shape the way we see—or ignore—systems of oppression?
• If white supremacy thrives on being normalized, what does it look like to denormalize it in our daily lives?
• And perhaps most importantly: what will it take for us to step out of silence and into meaningful dialogue?

🗓️ Mark your calendars: Exploring Racism and Proximity in Modern Society drops Monday, September 8th, 2025. The episode runs 30 minutes, and trust me—you’ll want to sit with every second.
