I'll be honest, I find it quite unfortunate, that we have a political system that was created "for the people, by the people", yet sit back and watch the very people they represent suffer. The rich get richer, while the poor gets screwed. Yet, we are told, if we vote for these individuals, they will "fix" the problem within our country. We vote. They get elected. Nothing changes. Cycle repeats itself. Instead of finding viable solutions to the toxic relationship, we instead turn on each other. W...

I've noticed that within our society, we've began to place more and more importance on status, power, money, and other material things rather than family, friends, and kinship. I believe this has led us down a misfortune path as a society, as we do not care for our fellow neighbors like we used to. It's all about "me and mines" and chasing that paper. Which in turn, leads us to chasing things that don't really hold any true value or importance. We worship negative ideals and various other false ...

We can all agree that after watching the Presidential debates and Vice Presidential debates, politics is nothing more than drama. A bad TV drama at that. Yet, we continuously fall and tune in everyday to see what new story line or narrative we are being sold today. C'est la vie I suppose.

Long story short, I had entered a competition that was hosted by iHeartRadio titled, "The Next Greatest Podcast". Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the semifinals and I was really bummed about that. After thinking about it for awhile, I've realized that, even though I didn't win, it's ok. Life continues to go on and you just have to learn how to take your L's and move on. Learn and grow, baby. Learn and grow. So, in today's episode, I talk about how to handle losing and being able to bounce bac...

In today's episode, I talk about fear and how media uses fear to keep us in a perpetual state of anguish and anxiety. I also talk about a possible solution, is to simply turn off your TV or phone and go talk to your neighbors. You will find that life isn't all that bad and for the most part, people just want to be understood and feel as if they belong.

I'm sure you've heard several people on Facebook and Twitter talking about how they are going to boycott the NFL or how they want to cancel Netflix. Though I fully support your right to boycott such things, I find your cause to be flawed. It's a weird internal struggle to be honest. On one hand, boycotts have lead to a lot of positive changes throughout history. Yet, in this moment in history, boycotts have denigrated into mere tweets voicing displeasure about some obscure cause you are fighting...

I was listening to The Roommates YouTube channel where the host, Hafeez Baku, was talking about never dating a woman that doesn't want to date you. In this episode, he goes on to give a lot of great points about why you shouldn't date a woman that doesn't want to be with you. For the most part, I agreed with Hafeez, as dating someone who doesn't want you, will only lead to major problems within the relationship. Where I disagreed with Hafeez, is when he stated, "I want the woman I am going to be...

Whenever there is a hot social issue that takes place, our athletes are at the forefront fighting that battle. Unfortunately, they almost always told, "shut up and dribble". Here's the thing, if our athletes aren't allowed to give voice to the voiceless, then who will? Because, let's be honest, the average black man, will almost always be silenced before he has a chance to say anything. The tragedy of Jacob Blake being shot 7x's in the back in Kenosha Wisconsin, shows very clearly, that there is...

A couple of weeks ago, Ben Shapiro posted his daily upload to YouTube in which he claims that empathy has no place in government. I like many others found this statement to be outlandish and so I took off to record my response to his statement. Luckily, I did not post my original audio. Instead, I took some time to actually think about his statement. Upon some reflection, I somewhat see his point. We do need intelligence running our country, but at the same time, we need to understand the plight...

Joe Biden finally reveals who he has chosen as his Vice President nominee and quite frankly, I'm not a fan. Of all the available female V.P candidates he could've chosen, he went with Kamala Harris? Her track record is not good ladies and gentlemen. She has locked up more African American males for minor drug/crime offenses. She has ruined lives, blocked DNA evidence that would've exonerated many innocent individuals whom she has sent to jail. I'm not a fan of either of these two individuals for...

I think we've all heard this line before, "I don't want no politics in my sports" and quite frankly, that line drives me absolutely nuts. I hate to burst some of your bubbles, but sports and politics have been in bed for decades. From Jackie Robinson, Jim Thorpe, UFC fight decisions, sports franchises decided to leave a city/state, politics really dictate a lot of our sporting events. The NCAA was formed because Teddy Roosevelt didn't want college athletes to continuously change schools. And now...

I don't mind listening to conservatives speak about their beliefs on certain issues or how the US should be governed. Public discord is a healthy thing and should be practiced. But man, listening to a lot of conservatives complain that they are being persecuted for their beliefs is kind of patronizing. It's like, "dude, no you're not being persecuted". You are sitting in front of your computer talking hella shit about about the world. There is no one knocking your door down to arrest you and exe...

Is it me or does it seem that every election year, there is some kind of drama heading into November? I couldn't help but shake this thought as it popped up in my head. And when I did some quick research on the matter, I found that to be the case. Whether it was the beginning of SJW's during the latter stages of Obama's era, the ecomomic recession at the end of Bush's tenure, and now a pandemic and a host of other social issues, following Trumps reelection bid. There always seems to be drama and...

I learned a new pyschological idea called the Dunning-Kruger Effect and it pretty much states that we are just average people that think highly or lowly of our capabilities. It dawned on me that a lot of folks don't realize this and I'd like to talk about this in the most simplistic way possible. Enjoy.

It has come to my surprise that there are a couple of TedTalks out there trying to "normalize" pedophilia. Nah fam, that can't happen. In today's episode I try to discuss this in a civilized manner. Ultimately, we cannot let this type of behavior become "normalized". The trauma it causes, the cyclical nature of it all, and it's predatory nature should not be condoned by a civilized society.

In today's episode, we talk about the effects of indoctrination and implicit bias. We all are in one way or another indoctrinated in a train of thought that we don't want to give any grounds on. In many ways, this is fine. More often than not, it gets in the way of having real genuine conversations that can propel us forward. We have a discussion about this and some possible solutions that we could implement to help us overcome this. Join Robinhood with my link and we'll both get a gift stock fo...

With the climate that we are facing today, a pandemic, high unemployment rates, political banter, one would think that the issue of race would take a back seat right? Wrong. It has catapulted to the forefront of almost every talking point everywhere. Some say, race isn't an issue, some argue that race is still the issue. No matter what side of the debate you may be on, it is important that we have these discussions as objectively and forthright as possible. In today's episode, I give my opinions...
