About this Episode

In this episode of The Chris and Andre Show, guest Jai-Li joins Chris, Andre, and Joe to talk about her experience so far at N.C. State and her takes on social media influencers. The guys also talk about closing tax loopholes and McDonald’s ongoing racism issues, the canceling of N.C. State’s bowl game, and finally a huge argument erupts over which director is worse, James Gunn or Zack Snyder.

(00:00:00) Intros - Andre’s daughter Jai-Li joins the guys, along with Friend-of-the-show Joe, as they talk about her experience in college and some business topics.

(00:09:24) Life - Jai-Li is enrolled in the Undecided Program at N.C. State this year and describes what life as a freshman in that program is like and the panel debates the need for a 4-year college during the first two years of basic courses. We also get to hear a funny story about the time Jai-Li babysat Chris’s daughter a couple years ago.

(00:35:45) Business - Andre argues that most people don’t know what being an “entrepreneur” actually means and that being an Instagram Influencer is not a real job, Chris gets upset about a new tax loophole he learned about that people have been exploiting for years now, and the guys discuss a few unique cases of employees being fired during the ongoing hiring issue.

To close our Business, Andre reveals the company he used to work for as he, Chris, and Joe discuss McDonald’s continued issues with racism and its black operators.

(01:36:21) Sports - Chris is bummed N.C. State won’t get to play its bowl game this year but understands why (while simultaneously calling our UCLA), Andre is ready for the Broncos to clean house, and Chris explains why he’s pulling for the Colts now.

(01:44:00) Pop Culture - Things get heated at the end of this segment as Chris and Andre argue over which director is worse: Zack Snyder or James Gunn, but not before they talk about The Many Debts of 50 Cent and his particular way of demanding payment, and the announcement that the X-Men will be joining Avengers (in the Marvel COMICs).

But the real fireworks stem from an unplanned debate over which director Chris and Andre like less: Jame Gunn or Zack Snyder. Andre is firmly in the “James Gunn is worse” camp while Chris says the only reason we know about Zack Snyder is because Joss Whedon made a bad movie. Watch the sparks fly as the two hosts go toe-to-toe while Friend-of-the-Show-Joe sits back and tries not to get hit by any flying furniture.
