    Eboni is flying solo on this episode to get a few things off her chest about a recent WSJ article. If we're going to talk about the upcoming election then we have to talk about identity.

    Diddy/Jail/The Four Seasons: A Lesson in Lifestyle

    And we BACK! We're jumping back into Season 3 of Holding Court like we never left. Eboni and Dustin (and baby Liberty) are all gas, no breaks on this episode. We're starting with a follow-up on the Diddy trial and the living conditions Mr. Combs has been 'subjected to' in jail while he awaits trial. They also get into the saddening but not unpredicted results of affirmative action getting the axe. (It's a loss for more than just Black students.) And last but not least, Eboni breaks down the Young Thug RICO trial judge's decision to deny the motion for a mistrial and why there might be a ton of appeals on the heels of this extremely long trial.
