And, in a surprising move, the New England Patriots released former NFL MVP Cam Newton which signified they are all in on their 1st round draft pick, former Alabama QB Mac Jones. DaBaby is back in the news as a result of meeting with a group of nine HIV-Awareness organization. Que not only reads some quotes that were part of a joint statement on behalf of all groups involved but also shares why DaBaby has a ways to go with regards to making amends. Lil Nas X popped out with maternity photos to symbolize the birth of his baby (debut album). This wasn’t without ridiculous outrage but some fair criticism was levied at the pop star.

    Fresh off an absence last week due to technical difficulties TWAL is back for its 60th episode. The show begins with news out of the Lone Star State. Gov. Greg Abbott had previously done away with mask mandates and with school beginning, some districts took it upon themselves to enforce their own form of the aforementioned mask mandate.

Que takes the listener down memory lane about the scandal which first started off as a football story but then wound up highlighting a campus-wide failure in how violence against women was handled.

    This week’s episode begins with a review of a Texas legislature known as “SB 3”. The bill  strips out most mentions of women and people of color in that section.

That then brought on many players taking to social media and voicing their feelings, Cardinals WR Deandre Hopkins even threw out possibly retiring. Kanye West was back in the news courtesy of hosting a listening party at the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta. This event reportedly broke an Apple Music streaming record.
