It's raining in New York City and Chris doesn’t know if his leather jacket is safeeee?! Yannis just enjoys his friendship with Chris because make no mistake, it’s entertaining. One second the kid is eating salmon with a salad and vodka soda and the next he’s going to ballet classes but the car is parked in the 90s. I mean Chris Distefano has got a crazy life! The boys are in the studio talking about the 1992 LA riots that were started by a Korean storekeeper!

Chris and Yannis touch upon matters that are relevant today. Race tensions are still high and they continue to be due to the system: Jim Crow, ignorant police put in place, and the judges that allow certain things to happen. One of the main reasons LA Riots took place was due to a young black girl who was accused of stealing from a Korean storekeeper. As she was leaving, the storekeeper, Soon Ja Du, shot and killed 9th grader Latasha Harlins. THE WILD part of this was that a judge did not sentence her to 16 years as the jury had ruled. Instead, Du was sentenced to 5 years of probation, had to pay a $500 fine, and complete 400hours of community service. WILD! The guys dig in deeper into what happened and a few uncomfortable truths!
