21 - Since We Been Gone (Season 2 Debut)
The Last Dope Intellectual is back! In the season two opener, Dr. CBS and the new co-host, Dr. Layla Brown, start by shooting the shit with the show's new producer, Too Black, about the importance of delinking our movements from celebrity culture. In her "Planting Thoughts" segment, Layla discusses the Peruvian Apple Cactus (Cereus Repandus) and how succulents offer a broader lesson for life. Next, the two co-hosts run down the key issues they've been paying attention to since the end of season one, including developments in Haiti, Cuba, South Africa, Mali, Afghanistan, and the USA. The hosts then speak to Too Black about what's to come this season, from new segments to potential and confirmed interview guests. CBS and Layla then talk about being on fellowship in "What We On," and in her new segment "Risse's Rants," CBS goes in on the goofy and hypocritical reporting on the recent missionary kidnappings in Haiti.
