Richie & John | Newsday Tuesday |. August 20, 2024 Edition

On this episode of Richie & John, Richie Roy and John McMullen discuss various current events including JD Vance's past in drag, a cyberbullying lawsuit against J.K. Rowling and Elon Musk, and the push to make DoxyPEP free on insurance plans. They highlight the hypocrisy of Vance's anti-LGBTQ stance in light of his past experiences. They also discuss the importance of making HIV prevention methods like PrEP and DoxyPEP accessible to all, and criticize the judgmental attitudes of those who oppose these measures. John and Richie also talk about the actions of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the disposal of books at New College of Florida, and the suspension of Boston Red Sox outfielder Jaren Duran for using a homophobic slur. They emphasize the importance of accountability and the need for meaningful consequences for offensive actions. And, there’s a post-script to a recent episode discussing Richie’s initiation to the world of all-EV driving with circumstances that forced John’s hands to join the club. It’s an action-packed conversation that will include much food for thought.
