Season 2. Episode 2.
This one doesn’t ease you in—it drops you straight into the fire.

On Episode 32 of Three for the Founders, four longtime friends—Antonio, Jon, Lybroan, and guest David M. Jones—sit with the hardest questions of this moment: ICE, protest, power, and moral responsibility. What does resistance actually do? When does nonviolence persuade—and when does it get ignored? Is working inside an unjust system complicity, strategy, or survival? And how much of your soul is negotiable when money, security, and family are on the line?

Sparked by recent protests, White House messaging shifts, and the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the conversation stretches from Minneapolis streets to Ivy League theories of narrative control, from Malcolm X and MLK to modern boycotts and viral hypotheticals. David—COO of a major trade association, political moderate, and longtime friend—brings the inside-the-room perspective: incremental change, pragmatism, and persuasion. Antonio and Lybroanpush back hard, framing ICE as historically continuous with racist enforcement and asking whether silence from “good people” is itself an indictment. Jon presses for precision, accountability, and language that clarifies rather than inflames.

What emerges isn’t consensus—it’s something rarer: honest disagreement held together by trust. This episode wrestles with protest strategy, media ecosystems, “both sides” politics, democratic socialism, long-range planning, and the uncomfortable truth that whoever controls the narrative often controls the outcome. If you’ve ever argued with friends about politics and wondered whether the argument itself still matters—this one’s for you.

Season Two of Three for the Founders kicks off exactly where America gets uncomfortable: at the gap between the quote and the policy.

Recorded on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and launching February 2, 2026, this season premiere opens with a toast to brotherhood—and immediately asks the question nobody wants answered out loud: how do you celebrate the Dream on Monday and dismantle it by Tuesday? From a Los Angeles studio, Reynaldo Antonio, Jon Augustine, and Lybroan James return sharper, looser, and less interested in pretending symbolism counts as action. Thirty episodes deep and freshly into 2026, the brothers set the tone for a season that refuses to separate history, power, and the people paying the price.

The conversation moves with purpose and side-eye. MLK Day as performance versus policy. Free parks, closed futures. DEI rollbacks framed as “fairness.” Whether arguing online is civic duty or just free labor for the algorithm. Ten years into the Trump era, the hosts trace what’s changed—and what’s simply stopped hiding. Along the way: Ghanaian “welcome home” moments, family shout-outs, jokes about thrill-seeking, and a sobering reframe—when your daily life already runs on adrenaline, you don’t need to jump out of planes to feel alive. The laughs land, but so do the receipts: January 6 rebranded, racism deployed as a tool, and capitalism quietly doing what it’s always done—consolidate.

Episode highlights include:

• Why MLK is safest to America as a soundbite, not a blueprint
• How DEI became the villain the moment it threatened comfort
• The myth of “both sides” and who benefits from pretending power is neutral
• Racism as strategy, wealth capture as the endgame
• Whether people are complex—or just committed to lying to themselves
• How repetition, attention, and outrage reshape what we call “truth”

Listener takeaways for 2026:

• Don’t accept the first version of any story—ask say more
• Engage online only where there’s real relationship; starve the bots
• Read Black authors to re-center history and reality
• Spend your energy building family, community, and coalitions—not defending myths
• Remember: symbolism is cheap. Power is not.

Season Two doesn’t offer comfort. It offers clarity. Three for the Founders is back—measured, unfiltered, and unimpressed by hollow tributes. Like, subscribe, and pull up. The dream deserves better than a holiday.

At a time when Americans are tired of scripted outrage and elite-approved talking points, Three for the Founders is doing something different—speaking freely and living with the consequences. In Episode 30, the hosts look back on Season One and tell the truth about what happens when you stop chasing applause, stop curating a “target audience,” and start saying what you actually think. The result? Real conversations, real pushback, and real growth.

This retrospective pulls no punches. The hosts reflect on early episodes that played it safe—and later ones that didn’t. They talk candidly about faith, race, gun culture, family, language, and power, including moments that made listeners uncomfortable and moments that made the show stronger. Along the way, they honor influential voices, remember friends lost too soon, and acknowledge where they got it wrong—and why owning that matters more than managing optics.

There’s humor, too—phones buzzing mid-recording, debates about bathroom doors at home—but the message is serious: authenticity beats approval every time. Three for the Founders isn’t here to preach or please. It’s here to have the conversation others won’t—and trust the audience to decide what to do with it.

Episode 30 drops December 29.

Season One ends. Season Two begins in 2026.

Listen—and judge for yourself.
