Anderson Street

What is a tribe? Do you tend toward following the new, connoted definition of hard delineations between peoples/groups/etc or toward the primitive definition of shared understandings/culture/language/etc? Tribes can be as small (yet large) as being part of the left-handed crew to the Mandarin speaking tribe to your sex or your hair color or or or or anything! Yet, we seem to be in this time where, particularly politically, tribalism is something that has become weaponized in the USA. IF you voted one way, then this must mean _____ about you; this is where separation, hatred, resentment begin to compile.  What's most interesting about this episode is how difficult it was to GET STARTED! A few guests had such issue with the loose definition of tribalism that we spent quite some time simply dissecting what this word and its connotations mean today. What does it mean to you?

Vibrationally, I already felt some eye rolls at the mention of men in this very touchy #meToo societal point. I implore you to bookmark that for another time and allow the distant memory that men in our particular society, specifically of color, often don’t have the same mentorship & guidance from older, established men in their groups. The reasonings for this discrepancy are wide & varied, we all know them, so let’s bypass the WHY to instead move on to what can be done (my POV on essentially every societal ill)   The mental strategy for this table was to compile a group of ethnically diverse men to speak on their personal #experiences in regards to the men/lack of models in their lives. As happens in #production, that didn’t quite come to pass. With three men of color & one white, I felt a lot of pressure to find a way to diversify this setting. But how?   Thanks to someone in the room who said, ‘wow, when do you ever see this many men come together to talk about their feelings on men, typically a feminine thing that they shun?’ 💡 Even in @theshop or any other heavily male show, feelings aren’t the focus and are evaded. Maybe we can transmute this energy into something positive; when’s the last time you saw four #alphamales sit together to talk about the hardest truths of their own lives?

What's in an education?  There are so many facets to how an education is doled out & received. Resources are most often the name of the game & with better socioeconomic locations equating to better resources (incl. teacher salary), what can be done about improving this imbalanced system? We discuss school choice, home schooling, systemic oppression, cities v rural, and for a spot of pure joy; we note some of our favorite, most impactful teachers.

When our DP mentioned a topic on The Constitution, Viki thought he was nuts. What's more boring than a few centuries old set of documents? Turns out, V was misguided, as you'll see.

Welcome to an honest conversation with everyday people about the document that's dictate that guiderails of life in the USA since 1791 (ratification of Bill of Rights). How many freedoms are in the 1st Amendment? Which of them should be amended further and which can kick rocks? Who were they made for and how have definitions/connotations changed over time?

We filmed this prior to the Guns episode because after two hours of filming and barely one amendment down, it was clear we were on to something. Enjoy

*Updated version from an original technical faux pas; same content! Also apologies for dicier audio in this one as this was one of the first times we filmed without our trusty audioman and had to fend for ourselves!

What the true hell has dating become? Whether identifying as cis or non binary, hetero or LGBTQ - it's all seem to run amok. 

With articles like this one from The Atlantic explaining (with stats) how and why coitus in the millennial generation has gone to generational low to our host's (Viki) own dating faux pas stories here - things are looking dicey. 

We discuss dating today with an unconventional table, chock full of experiences and peppered with utter surprise from our cis hetero women when confronted with a shockingly good and well bred man. Join us as we talk about the tumult of finding The One (or, Right Now).

This NCAA debacle has worsened since we filmed this episode, where we tried to focus on the question of if college athletes should be paid, it's now a question of whether the entirety of the NCAA is a racketeering scheme. Between wealthy familial bribes to agents & coaches giving very sus loans to athletes, it all looks a lot like Ballers. Yea, the show that everyone loves to judge as outrageous and fabricated. SIKE.

The drug conversation is not friggen easy. Aside from legalization of marijuana sweeping the USA, we've been ensconced in the arguable aftermath of the Drug Wars (Reagan) and drug abuse epidemics have been running rampant (crack, opioids). We sat down with people that don't have a hard line delineating them from one another, but the stories raised at the table aren't what you expect. It's the stories, that have the power to dismantle hard and fast belief systems.

Time for a conversation about gun rights, a generations-old amendment and where the line is. We have one of the more HOT conversations at the table, in a dual part episode, where we get into:: control, power, mental health, being black in America, equity, agenda pushing, youth, culture & media, and the list goes on. The table is as divided as it gets with a bunch of unicorns, yet common ground is found.

We decided to try something new with an event in Manhattan at The Assemblage coworking/coliving space. We doubly tested out the idea of having someone volunteer as tribute to sit at the table with us! As life does when you believe it to, it all worked out better than expected. Luckily for you, we recorded the conversation ;)

Join myself, Meggie, Nadia (kudos to our volunteer!) & Colton as we navigate the experiences and life as we saw it while living as digital nomads around this beautiful planet. We delve into mental health, coping, stigmatization, and of course, the never ending dual edged sword that is social media.
