Return from Break and Schedule Pauses

00:00:36
Speaker
Hey everybody, welcome back to Predetermined. I'm your host, Garret Callender. I am your other host, Derek Halpin, and we have a special show today after taking last week off.

Support for Black Lives Matter

00:00:48
Speaker
Oh yeah, last week it just did not feel right doing the show. It didn't. I mean, I know that we have in recent months taken several breaks. I mean, especially like what we started taking some pretty serious breaks since around Christmas, but uh,
00:01:03
Speaker
We're still kicking, we're still doing the show, but there was some heavy stuff going on last week that we felt like took over the, I don't know, it took importance or precedent. What am I trying to say Garrett? You're trying to say Black Lives Matter.

Choosing Protest Over Podcast

00:01:20
Speaker
That's what I'm trying to say. That's what we're trying to get out here to start this episode is that the boys have predetermined are in full support of Black Lives Matter and
00:01:32
Speaker
There's a bunch of nonsense going on. There's been a lot of angry people for a long time. And yeah, I just don't think that last week was the time to try to get tight. First of all, we haven't been watching nearly as much wrestling as we used to, but to try to force out a episode of the podcast when there's bigger things going on seems inappropriate.

Encouraging Donations to BLM

00:01:55
Speaker
Yeah. And you know what? We've never taken money from you for this podcast. So take some of that money and throw it at some Black Lives Matters charities. I hear that the ones about bailing people out are the big ones right now. Those are the ones I'm being told are really important to donate to. You're saying that people are getting arrested at some of these protests and that they could use some bail money and that's what you can donate to.

Protest Experience and Wrestling Comparisons

00:02:20
Speaker
I went to one of the protests and it was a lovely time. Like you said, there was a lot of yelling. I've been prepared to chant with people all these years. It was time. You've been prepared? Yeah, you've been going to wrestling shows. You know all about chanting. Yeah, if I hear one person in the crowd start yelling something and everyone's doing it, I am going to join in.
