In this week's episode, the fellas discuss a book, suggested by Ian and a film, recommended by Doug. The idea is to expose one other to cultural ideas, insights, jokes and realities that may appear hidden when only viewing the world through the eyes we were given at birth. We hope that this method of podcasting will open up doors to understanding each other's worlds.

This week, Ian suggested a book called "The Truth About White Lies" by Olivia A. Cole. It's a story about the deep roots of racism in American society and the frustration brought on by our attempt to hide the reality of it all from ourselves. Ian wanted to hear Doug's thoughts on the concepts presented in this story and open up a conversation about them. Have you ready this book? What are your thoughts? Feel free to leave a comment below with your insight and please give us any book recommendations you'd like us to discuss.

Doug recommended that Ian watch the film "Joe Dirt" starring David Spade. While this suggestion isn't as serious as Ian's book recommendation, Doug was interested to hear what Ian had to say about it. The idea is to find books, films, music, etc that the other host hasn't been exposed to and this film is just that for Ian. What are some films that you'd like to hear us discuss? Leave your suggestion in the comments below.

The guys end today's episode the way they always do, with another round of "Which Side Of The Boarder."

Thanks for listening! Please take a moment to subscribe to our channel. We hope you enjoyed the show.
