DVJ and Michelle start with a conversation about a DUI case, including the charges, license suspension, court costs, and the debate over how many consequences can come from one offense. That leads into a bigger conversation about punishment, parole, restitution, voting rights, and how the criminal justice system can continue affecting someone long after a sentence is over.

From there, the conversation takes a sharp turn into race, politics, media, and America.

They talk about Trump, CNN and political coverage, what politicians campaign on versus what people believe actually happens afterward, and why voters respond to political messaging the way they do.

The conversation also touches on racism, representation, voting patterns, the presidency, and the question of who has historically had the power to shape American politics.

And because this is Cold World, it doesn't stay serious the whole time. 😂 There's also plenty of sports talk, old-school sitcoms, Wisconsin Badgers, the Packers, Milwaukee, childhood memories, and random conversations that only DVJ and Michelle could turn into a podcast.

No script. No polished talking points. Just two people saying what they think and letting the conversation go wherever it goes.

This episode gets into a conversation about who gets to tell the story—and what stories keep getting told.

DVJ and Michelle talk about race and representation in media, including a discussion of a major list ranking the best TV shows of the 21st century and the question of how Black and Latino voices are represented when other people are deciding what deserves recognition.

From there, the conversation turns toward Milwaukee: neighborhood investment, schools, housing, economic opportunities, crime, and the way local media talks about violence and the people involved.

Why does crime seem to dominate certain conversations? Is there room for more variety when talking about a community? And what happens when people hear the same negative stories over and over again?

Of course, this is Cold World, so we don't stay serious the entire time. 😂 We get into the Packers, Brewers, Bucks, Saturday morning coffee, podcasts, radio, music, everyday Milwaukee life, and plenty of completely random side conversations along the way.

No script. No perfect answers. Just DVJ & Michelle having the conversation the way they actually have it.

🎙️ Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle — real life, real opinions, real conversations, no filter.

What does it look like when you really stop and look at where people are working in Milwaukee—and what opportunities are actually available?

In this episode of Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle, DVJ takes a deeper look at employment, business ownership, wages, and opportunities for Black workers in Milwaukee, leading into a conversation about reported workplace discrimination and harassment cases involving Black, Brown, Hispanic, and Native American employees in Wisconsin.

The conversation gets real about racism in the workplace, retaliation, language and cultural identity, and why these issues matter beyond the people directly involved.

And because this is Cold World, the conversation doesn't stay on one subject for long. We get into police accountability, Milwaukee street life, the Packers, apartment living, coffee, everyday frustrations, and a food-safety discussion sparked by concerns about recalled meat and expired products.

No polished talking points. No pretending to have all the answers. Just DVJ & Michelle talking about what they're seeing, thinking, questioning, and experiencing.

Continued from earlier episode!!

On this episode of Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle, the conversation goes everywhere—and nothing is off limits.

DVJ and Michelle get into a deep and unfiltered discussion about race in America, racism, anti-Blackness, identity, media coverage, and the different ways people experience the same country. They talk about why conversations about race can become so heated, how racism continues to shape everyday life, and why having uncomfortable conversations may be necessary.

The episode also dives into politics and current events, including immigration, political rhetoric, representation, and Wisconsin politics. DVJ and Michelle share their personal perspectives while discussing clips and commentary from other voices.

But as always, this is still Cold World—so the serious conversations are mixed with everyday life. There’s Packers talk, relationships, driving, food, Milwaukee, memories from the past, and DVJ sharing a very personal story about his time in the Wisconsin correctional system and the decision that resulted in an escape charge.

It's honest. It's messy. It's funny at times. It's serious at times. And sometimes the conversation goes somewhere neither of them expected.

No polished speeches. No perfect answers. Just DVJ and Michelle talking about real life, real issues, and whatever is on their minds.

This is Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle—straight out of Milwaukee.

On this episode of Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle, the conversation starts with everyday life—coffee, food, driving, travel plans, and their upcoming Route 66 road trip to California with Chewy—before taking a much deeper turn.

DVJ and Michelle get into questions surrounding police shootings and law enforcement accountability in Wisconsin, looking at reported numbers, use-of-force investigations, and how police-involved shootings are handled under state law. They also discuss the difficulty of comparing use-of-force data between different police departments and why the numbers deserve closer attention.

From there, the episode moves into crime stories, murder, police investigations, and a complicated murder-for-hire case involving Darrell Willoughby. The story includes an alleged affair, a drive-by shooting, multiple defendants, evidence uncovered during the investigation, trials, appeals, and a later public-corruption case involving a prosecutor and a campaign contribution.

The conversation also touches on race, media coverage, crime content, politics, and the way certain stories receive attention—or don't receive it. DVJ and Michelle talk about researching cases themselves, watching crime channels, and the responsibility that comes with discussing real people and real cases.

And, of course, it wouldn't be Cold World without plenty of regular-life conversation mixed in—from The Young and the Restless and relationships to sports, travel, food, family, and whatever happens to come up while they're talking.

Real conversations. Real cases. No polished script. No easy answers.

This is Cold World w/ DVJ & Michelle—straight out of Milwaukee.
