Welcome back to 50Talk. This is episode 84 and your hosts are glad that you all could join us again and talk about the things that we feel are relevant today and worthy of further conversation. We would love for you guys to join in on the conversation to. Please send us an email at [email protected] and also join us on our Social Media sites. That being Facebook, Instagram and the TicTok. 

This week we start the show off with a Facebook post that I noticed this week. The topic of the post was "He can cook, he is neat, he knows God, he doesn't drink, he sticks to one woman and doesn't cheat. Where is he?" The first comment I seen set me off but I decided to keep reading comments only to get more pissed.  What was the point of the post and what does that say about people. Cathy and I try to make a conversation out of this post. 

Let's stay on the topic of Social Media a little while longer. Why do some people have to post every damn thing on Social Media? I've seen people post relatives in bed dying, relative dead in a coffin and their prayers to God a if he is on Social Media. Is there anything that's private or personal anymore?  

I read a few articles this week about the Republican Presidential Candidate Tim Scott and the fact that he isn't married or that he doesn't have kids.  He's a 56 year old man running for the biggest office in the world. Most Presidents have been married in the history of the U.S. Is this a problem for you? What if he was actively dating while in the White House? Who is going to be our 1st Lady? 

This week Pennsylvania State Troopers finally tracked down a prisoner who escaped custody almost two weeks ago. This guy was running around stealing shit, he got his hands on vehicle and a rifle. The problem with the story is once they tracked him down they just had to take a picture with there "Hunt".  Does this type of behavior bother you and what are your thoughts of them doing it in public? 

Rolling Stone Magazines Co-founder Jann Wemmer has been removed from his seat with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Leadership due to some comments he made about his new book and his lack of interviewing Black Woman and Black Men. In 2023 we still are letting people white wash our history and our impact on a lot of things. Black men and women I feel are the reason we have Rock & Roll. Without them their would be no Rock & Roll. 

This season of College football so far has been the best. My Buckeyes gave me a good solid win this week going into Notre Dame week and Deion Sanders and his Buffaloes are still doing amazing things on the football field. He has these kids playing at a high level and they are all so disciplined. They came out on top of a dogfight with Colorado State late last night after double overtime. They are really fun to watch but next week against Oregon could be the real test. 

This week we Recognize the 60th Anniversary of the bombing of The 16th St. Baptists Church in Birmingham, Alabama where four little girls died. That was a tragic day in our history but let's not forget  and learn from it and move forward together. Ignoring this history won't make it go away. We all need to look it in the face.  Cathy and I had the honor of visiting that church last year and we both realized that it's a special place. 

Thank you all for joining us this week. We will see you all next week for Episode 85.
