The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence! A beautiful quote from our gangsta buddy Gin Rummy of the Boondocks. What does this quote mean? Well, for today's podcast, it takes on the meaning of whatever we perceive to be the reality, may not be the reality we perceive. In other words, we don't necessarily see reality for what it really is. Rather, we bend it's nearly infinite possibilities to our own experiences. Granted, I'm not the smartest guy in the room, but we take a jab at thi...

"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." A fitting quote for today's society. People go viral for with the best of intentions and as the fame lingers, so does the chance for these individuals to become "exposed". Once exposed, slowly we see these individuals become villainous by happenstance. Let's be honest with ourselves, we are the "good" guy in the story of our lives. Rarely do we ever sit back and wonder, whether or not we are the villain's in som...

Influencers, content creators, Instagrammers, and TikTok'ers are all going to extremes lengths to produce and distribute content. Often times, it's at the detriment of other people. Or worst yet, at the exploitation of serious and life altering situations. I'm not a fan of any of that. While I understand the need to monetize on content, I feel that abusing that and putting people lives at risk is the slippery slope of moral degradation of society. We have enough knuckleheads on social media. Let...

So, we gonna go through this again, huh? Have we learned nothing from the toilet paper fiasco? No? Alright then. Carry on I suppose, cuz y'all are looking ridiculous trying to carry gasoline in a plastic bag. Just so you know, gasoline doesn't run out. We have copious (a lot) amounts coming from overseas. Not to mention our own oil reserves we have yet to touch in Alaska, Texas, and various other places in the U.S. But, please, continue to fill every container you own with gasoline. That's the m...

It's really interesting to watch the media create and perpetuate beef with one another. You have Fox News calling out news anchors from MSNBC, you have YouTube political commentators calling out each other left and right, yet, we sit here and gobble it all up. People fall for the political drama and even go as far as to defend these TV personalities. Often it's drilled into our heads that the media is manipulating you, controlling your thoughts and feelings. It's all true. Media is controlling y...

There's a pattern on YouTube about relationship advice and how we talk about relationships. I still stress that we are mere juveniles when it comes to the dating world, and I'm proven right constantly when I scroll through YouTube. In any case, there seems to be this disgruntled argument that men ain't sh*t and woman ain't sh*t. If we drop the B.S we will see that neither of us are worth the salt we sweat and to find someone you are compatible with and settle down. Until we learn to mature our v...

With the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin, I've noticed that some people celebrated, and some people thought it was the wrong decision. Regardless of where you land on the spectrum, I've noticed a very disturbing pattern if you will. I've noticed that we as human beings, have some how lost our humanity. With all of the police killings, bombings, mass shootings, we've come to defend the actions of murderers, than stand up for the victims. We've used the horrible actions of others in a political ma...

The world is full of negativity. I think it is time that we start to infuse as much positive vibes as we can. I'm rooting for everyone who is out there chasing their dreams and making good things happen. With all this political, conspiratorial, battle of ideologies going around, we need to start thinking about our fellow man and help them get to where they need to get to. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, who knows. But I can dream. And I dream of a world where everyone gets along.

Recently there's been a string of examples of what toxic relationships look like. We had the Derrick Jaxn cheating scandal. We had the Quavo and Saweetie elevator incident. There was Married At First Sight examples, where couples exhibited an ample amount of selfishness in their relationships. Then there's Flightreact, who was livestreaming when his (ex)girlfriend showed up to his house unannounced and created drama for the his live streamers to see. Once the cameras were off, so did the gloves....

In light of the whole Derrick Jaxn drama, hopefully people are becoming more aware about how corny relationship guru's are. They don't give good advice and they only pander to what you want to hear. That's not giving advice at all. If you want some truth and some real advice, listen to Kevin Samuels. That brotha is handing out the solid advice left, right and center. Originally, I lumped this man with others who pander and give bad advice, but after listening to a couple of his shows, I realize ...

I've always kept it honest with you guys when it comes to relationships, cancel culture, and society in general. Today, I'm going to continue that trend, cuz it's what good folk do! I'm going to let you know up front, a lot of you, have been getting horrible relationship advice. Especially men. Because of all the horrible advice you've been getting, a lot of you have a toddlers understanding of how relationships function. Everyone is very possessive when it comes to being in an intimate relation...

Man, it seems like conservatives are always on their high horse. They seem to have crown themselves the moral authority of American society. But there is some serious hypocrisy that plague them. Always wanting to tell people how to live, how to act, and how to behave, yet do none of what they say. Don't get me wrong liberals and democrats have their faults as well, but we ain't talking about them. Today is the blatant hypocrisy of conservatives. Enjoy.

I know. I know. Another episode about cancel culture? Yes! Because this is my podcast and I do as I please. Besides, cancel culture has struck again, and this time it has come for one of our favorite childhood authors, Dr. Seuss... or has it? everyone is up in arms that Dr. Seuss is stopping the printing and distribution of six of it's books for racist and stereotypical imagery. This was a move made and executed by Dr. Seuss's estate. Meaning, it was his heirs that decided to not further distrib...

I've always been a proponent of critical thinking. And I've come to find that it's more than just asking questions. It's the reasoning behind those questions that helps us to understand not only ourselves, but other subject matters. Thinking critically gives us the ability to decipher whether someone is feeding us a bunch of bull-jive, or is actually telling us the truth. It also, helps us understand our world better. Regardless, the ability to think critically is important for our personal grow...

Last week we talked about reconciling with your past and how it's important to your overall growth. Today's episode, we talk about the road to redemption. It's not always pretty, but it's a very necessary step in evolving as a person. Everyone's path is different, but the jubilation that we feel at the end is indescribable. Embrace your journey. Embrace your story, and revel in your successes.

Lately, I've been thinking about my past. I've thought about how every decision has lead me to where I am today. I've thought about all the mistakes I've made, the people I have wronged, and the indecisions I haven't made. All of those actions, decisions, and indecisions have lead me to be the person that I am now. Yet, I can't help but wonder, why am I fixated on what was, could've been, or what might have been? Digging deeper, I've concluded, I haven't made peace with my former self. All of th...

I assume we've all heard the sayings, "Money can't buy happiness', "Money can't solve all your problems", "Money don't grow on trees", well apparently they do! And in fact, I think money does solve all our problems, it does buy happiness, and having it is so much better than not having it. Sure, we can make arguments that true happiness lies in the relationships and bonds we form in our lifetime, but let's be real, if we had a surplus of money, we'd be much happier! I'm tired of pretending that ...

Ever wonder why so many people give crappy advice about relationships? I definitely have and I've come to the conclusion, is that most of the people giving advice are jaded. At some point in their lives, they've been scorned by a significant other and they harbor that resentment when giving advice to others. I'm not a huge fan of that. So, in this episode, I give actual practical advice on how to make your relationship better. Enjoy!

Growing up, most of us loved going to our cousin's house. That's where a lot of your childhood memories are made. We laughed, we cried, got into fights, laughed, played, picked on each other, a simpler time. As we grow up though, we find ourselves growing distant. We stop going over as much, we stop calling as much, we've pretty much been reduced to just following each other on social media to be honest. Why is that? How come when we grow older, we grow more distant? I don't have the answers, bu...

I this episode, I talk about the idea that the first amendment is under siege. I have come across a lot of conservatives (a good majority of which are my friends) talking about how the 1st amendment is under attack by big tech. I found this idea to be wrong and a gross exaggeration of simple censorship. I'm not for censorship, but to say that our 1st amendment rights are under attack is ridiculous. Another common talking point I've been hearing a lot among conservatives, is that they are being c...

Last episode I talked about people being outraged about the wrong things. This episode we build on the last episode and try to point the finger where it actually belongs. See, 2020 is supposed to be hindsight, where we learn from our past mistakes. I don't think we are doing that. In fact, we keep doing the same things over and over. I know there's a word or phrase for that....oh that's right, insanity! We keep electing dumb dumb officials into office wit the hopes that they will actually help u...

I know I am late to the whole cancel culture party, but honestly, it's better late than never. In this episode, I talk a little bit about the whole outrage and cancel culture, but I add my own little spin to it. Instead, I try to direct your anger and outrage at the people who are responsible for it. Let's be real folks, you are being played, lied to, and manipulated on a daily basis. You are constantly being told who to be mad at and why. I'm here to tell you differently. Here's who you should ...

Most of us wants to have a better life. Most of us, for the most part, want to be better human beings. How we go about achieving that goal is almost always up to the individual. However you get there, just remember, the main reason in doing so is for personal growth. It's important that we grow as human beings, otherwise, we become stagnant in life. The old way of doing things isn't always the best or more efficient ways. In this episode, I talk about some reasons as to why it's important we con...

Lately I've been thinking about why some folks seem to be selfish in their actions. I didn't want to get the lazy answer of, "oh their just assholes". Nah, I wanted to dig a little deeper as to what can cause someone to become an asshole. I've found some interesting information on that search. Then I remembered what my mom always said to me, "never complain about a problem, if you don't have a solution". So, I went digging, and I think I came up with a solution as well. I hope you guys enjoy. Jo...

It is day one thousand, eleven hundred sumthing, from last Tuesday's election. The votes haven't been fully tallied, but it is clear that Joe Biden is President elect. The wise-guys (in this case, smart people)have called the election in favor of Joe Biden. Yet, I've seen a disturbingly large amount of Trump supporters claiming victory in this election. If not, they are claiming that the election is "rigged". It's getting to the point that, I don't know how to go about talking to these people. T...

It's 2020 and a lot has happened this year. A pandemic (plandemic to some), a Presidential election, millions of unemployed Americans, A President who is claiming a lot of false narratives, and a fan base who seems ready to accept any crazy notion he throws out here. This year has been one hell of a ride so far! But if we really look at 2020, we start to get a clearer picture, that we are supposed to be awakening and moving on from a lot of previously held notions (20/20 vision). In this episode...

Alrighty folks! The time has come and it's officially election day here in the U.S! It doesn't matter who you go and vote for. It is our civic duty to go out and exercise our right to vote. No matter who wins this election, nothing will change. Wednesday November 4th, will be just another day in the history books. There will be no "civil war" most political pundits love talking about. Will there be some dumb-dumb's out there doing idiotic things? Probably. but that unrest will sort itself out. E...

As you might've heard (or not) Kanye West made an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast. I was totally ecstatic, cuz I'm a huge Kanye fan. Upon listening to the episode, it became very clear to me that something isn't right with Kanye. I've always took his ramblings as just someone who couldn't get his thoughts straight. After hearing the brotha speak? Nah, there's something definitely off about Mr. West. As I finished the episode, I started to ponder a bit about he's running for Presid...
