24:13 Van gives his take on business relationships coming to an end and how people react to it

25:43 Van says, whatever happens here, is based on how Adam leads and what he allows in his company

27:37 Adam was never in the way of anybody's opportunities, which led to the hosts doing interviews and bashing No Jumper on other platforms

29:53 The thin line between partners/employees and homies

31:15 Adam circles back on how he told AD to get to do content, told him to focus on doing podcasts, livestream etc

37:33 Adam removed AD from the Tuesday show because his performance and enthusiasm declined

44:10 Making one change from a show shouldn't result in questioning an entire business relationship, bashing on other platforms, and painting Adam as the bad guy

49:34 Van antagonizes Adam and says he has an issue with a good interview without messiness and shenanigans

54:34 Van questions Adam about his responsibility to the culture

56:34 Van addresses the Richard Spencer interview and asks if it moved the needle like Adam said it could

58:38 Van explains why it is detrimental to have a Richard Spencer on a platform and not challenge him on his actual contribution that hurt black people, Richard invented the term "Alt Right" and was the leader of instigating cr*mes towards black people

1:01:12 Richard Spencer has a decade of wrongdoings and just saying "I was wrong" is not enough, Van says he has a lot of work to do

1:07:03 Van explains how he has a lot of responsibilities towards the culture, says only white people can ignore the responsibility towards other cultures: "When white people come to black spaces, they're not aware of the nuances, they only think about what they wanna do"; Adam says he always did what he wanted to do

1:10:02 Van asks "So you're interested in our culture but you don't care about having any responsibility to us"

1:10:32 Van says Adam doesn't see the difference between taking Spencer for face value, and allowing his "I'm not racist anymore" narrative while ignoring Rooga asking to remove something from his interview

1:12:13 Adam reminds Van that he asked him to sit down with him for the Spencer interview, Van declined

1:13:12 Van says Spencer has so much work to do, to undo the damage that he's done, it's early for Van to sit down with him "Spencer is a racial terr*rist"

1:17:55 Van plays leaked audio of Richard Spencer going in on Black people, Van says Adam didn't do his research

1:24:17 Adam says the average black person doesn't wanna hear about certain things, Van cuts him off and says the average black person doesn't give care about No Jumper
