WEDNESDAY’S W/ SHAUN YURTKURAN - FULL SHOW (Ep #765)

1-Jackson Redevelopment Authority has been given a $1.5 Million dollar grant my the forestry commission and have decided to use to waste on converting a useless greenspace into a useless greenspace with tree's on Farish St. in downtown Jackson, Mississippi. We talk about all the reason why this is a complete grift, a hustle and a waste of money.

2-Our Farish St. greenspace conversation turned into the question of the day: What are some of the biggest projects that got announced but never happened in Central Mississippi (especially Jackson). Someone text and asked about the music festival "Jubilee Jam" returning and we explain why Jackson will never have another major music festival that depends on people who need to be able to let their guard down and enjoy themselves without having to be armed the entire time they're in town or at the festival.

3-MAKE COMEDY OFFENSIVE AGAIN: Remember when you could crack a racially insensitive joke without getting canceled? When the LGBTQ community could laugh at themselves and others without being accused of internalizing homophobia or transphobia? Oh, how we miss those days!

 

Nowadays, it seems like we've entered an era where only certain groups are allowed to be the butt of the joke. But let's be real, folks – if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? It's time to bring back the freedom to make fun of everyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.

 

4-New article from Jerry Mitchell and the New York Time releases some internal "WhatsApp" text messages between Rankin County Sheriff's Dept. Goon Squad members where they talk about some of the terrible things they did, talked about keeping score, taking pics of corpses & more. We decipher what's reality and what's "locker room talk" and if Byran Bailey knew what was or wasn't going on with the Goon Squads activities.
