Black Lives Matter. Plus Blockbuster, NB Election, and NBA Analysis (S1E13)
Two Real Hours episodes in a week?! That's right! Peter and Nate are back with a CLASSIC. First, the boys give their thoughts on the unfortunate death of Chadwick Boseman. This leads to a discussion on police violence, white privilege, and how we can all be allies for the Black community. Next, it's the week's recap! Nate had a career game in his church softball league, and yet again, Peter tried (and failed) to work with his hands (12:03). As always, Weird, Wild, and Wacky Stories makes an appearance, this time focusing on the world's last remaining Blockbuster, a wrongly released prisoner in Ontario, and how a mis-pronunciation by Donald Trump caused a museum to sell out of T-shirts (23:00). Next, Peter and Nate let loose in Don't Take it so Personally (39:11)! This time, it's all about the provincial election in New Brunswick, and why now is NOT the time to send people to the polls. Following up on last episode's NBA First Round Prediction Challenge, Peter and Nate tally up the points, declare a winner, and move into previews of the two Eastern Conference Semifinal series, as well as some more general basketball talk (46:21).

This segment is briefly interrupted for the fellas to watch the end of the Portland-Memphis basketball game. Finally, join Peter and Nate as they share some restaurant chatter, including some rankings, and dream additions to the small-city Fredericton food scene (51:40).
