My seventh grade yearbook listed me as Khalua Mohammed Man. I am still mad at that I am not Khalua. I am Khalil Gibron Mohammed Man. And I'm just playing old Ben Austin. We are two best friends, one black, one white. I'm a historian and I'm a journalist, and we are back where season two of some of my best friends are well, y'all, y'all actually read the book. I appreciate that. That's right. We are here, we have done all the reading, all of it, and we are ready.

I'm so happy I get to finally proclaim that I'm a nerd. Right, I don't gotta fact like I like football anymore. For my friends and all that that's right. This season, we're continuing the conversation about the absurdities and intricacies of race in America. Man, you came on the show just throwing haymakers. You're just like you got it, you started it. You've brought up this question of violence.

We know that interracial friendship isn't going to solve the problems of our deeply divided country, but we're ready to discuss what's possible and what needs fixing. Join us as we talk to guests like Restorative Justice leader Danielle Sarah, former Attorney General Eric Holder, historians, nerds, TikTok stars exactly. We're all trying to make sense of this moment we're in, and sometimes our guests become our friends and maybe even our best friends. They got to work hard for that. Yes,

so stop by. New episodes drop weekly starting November first, on iHeartMedia, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts
