Dealing With America's Racist Past

In this episode of The Chris and Andre Show, the guys talk about "primarying" a sitting president and Joe Manchin’s ongoing lies, dive into business to understand how inflation is having a greater impact on the poor while Apple is paying top-dollar for talent, make fun of the Missouri governor for thinking source code is a crime and compare bluetooth keyboards, address the real issue with how the media is covering the Antonio Brown situation, and give their reactions and predictions to a bunch of Pop Culture, including The Matrix Resurrections, CW/DC shows, Andrew Garfield and Spider-Man, Morbius, and The Book of Boba Fett.
