Matt And Jack's Friday Night Drive Home: Recent Episodes
Matt Jack
Just dropping a quick message to say there will be no podcast this week as Jack's only gone and welcomed his first child into the world. Congratulations to him and we'll be back next week
Two guys that car share on their way home from work on a Friday night. Join us as we discuss whatever comes up during the journey. From timeless issues like justice and compassion to more irreverent talking points.
This week we discuss the staggering, mind blowing fact that the cancer causing chemical C8, a byproduct of Teflon manufacturing by Dupont chemical company , is in the blood of 99% of all living things. Based on the recent film Dark Waters & the excellent documentary The Devil We Know. We also discuss the chilling case of Christopher Watts, the convicted killer.
Jack's impressive sea swimming, our love of the British weather (yes, you did read that right), sleeping in the heat, different climates we'd like to live in from Norway to Australia, how "staying alert" to a virus would mean you'd have to develop Matrix style space & time bending skills, plus the films Current War & The Professor & The Madman.
In this episode we discuss the powerful Netlfix documentary "13th" and the shocking realities it unveils. How the ghost of slavery still haunts the USA, how African Americans suffer much more in the justice system and how even innocence can mean very little in a system designed primarily to make money. There's also a surprising fact about Morgan Freeman and a segregated high school prom!
Join us as we discuss the shocking issues raised by the Netflix documentary 13th, how unjust laws affect society, and how the innocent are so often wrongly imprisoned and yet those guilty of unspeakable crimes, such as the Nazis, are never brought to justice.
