Barely Qualified

You ever have a conversation with someone, and after the conversation has come to a close, you think back to yourself thinking, "Damn, I wish I would have recorded that conversation." This was one of those moments that I had that thought and pre-emptively hit the record button. Please don't come at me for not asking the individual if it was cool to record. We spoke after it was done, and I was given full permission to post to the episode. Yell at someone else! This week, my cousin Mike and I discussed spirituality and how it relates to your personal journey through life. Religion may or may not play a role in your overall way of thinking in life. We also touch on my journey to a protest that I attended that involved our local abortion clinic. Be warned if this is not a topic you would like to hear about; it is inside this week's episode. Lastly, we round out of the end of the show, speaking about religion as a whole and how the bible came to be. I hope you enjoy this week's episode, and we will see you next week. Remember, life is good and generous.

Do you think if your significant other is watching porn and masturbating (without you) that it is considered cheating? Do you feel as though the people around you aren't taking the pandemic seriously enough? Have you mysteriously noticed your conditioner missing in your bathroom, but your shampoo remains untouched? No? Fascinating! My guest Nichole Clarke and Jamie Ilano gave their opinions on these topics and a lot more. We even touched on podcast favorite topics of politics and religion! Check it out!

Sometimes you just need to have a vent session with some friends. In this week's episode, I speak with Charles McCaskill and Kipp Jennings about their 2020 years. How they have coped with the pandemic. Charles shares fascinating insight into what it was like to be on the front lines in a grocery store watching people lose their minds over toilet paper. Kipp speaks on how much insight he gained during this time in quarantine and limited social interaction. There was also a touch of politics involved as per usual with the show and their opinions on how our elected leaders provide us with every little transparency in their day-to-day. Except for AOC. AOC is awesome. All of that and more is inside of this week's episode!

If there is anything that I know for a fact is that the news cycle over the past few weeks has been nothing but insanity. So in an attempt to detox myself from all things newsworthy I phoned up Alyssa Harmadi and Dalton Wright to spend some time away from the nonsense that is our day-to-day news cycle. We discussed our favorite music artsists that we are currently listening to, whether or not Dalton is over the age of 35, and why Alyssa will always be wrong when it comes to not being a fan of Hamilton. We also got into the overall meaning of life and is there an overall purpose to any of this? If we do have a purpose in this life, then what is it? How do we find it? Is it something we are born with? Does it come in a vision or a nightmare that we have to interpret for ourselves? Who knows?! We certainly don't. But that doesn't stop us from trying to figure it!

Inside of this week's episode, I speak with my friends Jacob Pierce and Steven Fryson about the recent presidential election. We discuss how insane the past week has been on the lead up to election day, how there has been so much inflammatory rhetoric being used to place doubt in the results of the election, and how covid has still upended our normal lives and has cast more strain to our mental health during these trying times. Mostly consisting of rants, this episode is a return to form for the show and being one of the first ones that we have done since the last podcast launched back in May after the killing of George Floyd. So join us in knocking out some of the dust and cleaning up the cobb webs. We are back and proud to bring you weekly episodes of our shenanigans. I may have been drunk when recording the intro and outro.... oh well!

This is the first time we have ever put video to our Barely Qualified podcast. Unfortunately, I recorded it in a format that isn't easy to edit, and when it is reformated I lose visual and audio fidelity. With that being said this episode is full of frustration and anger while we try to navigate our feelings in this current climate of being black men in America. We discuss stories from our past interactions with the police and how there is a daily reminder that we have to be careful of our actions, or we could end up being another victim. Spend some time with us. Listen. Its been too long since we have been heard.

Fears over the pandemic, religious extremism, and defining what makes The South, the south, is all inside of this week's episode of Barely Qualified. Political science major and overall badass Alyssa Harmadi, shared her views on the south and a general lack of openmindedness that seems to be prevalent in the region. She shared her views on her personal religious beliefs and what terrifies her about the current pandemic that we find ourselves surrounded in.

This weeks episode is a continuation of The Monkey Bread Monologues with Kerry, Kipp and Larry returning for the second half of the episode. We discuss random Applebees hate coming from some rap artists as well as our perspective takes in porn. We had to make a correction for a presumption of a local DJ hosts ethnicity, since in the age of Google, why would we ever verify anything. Finally we rap up with our love languages and the groups perspectives on what happens after we pass from this mortal coil. All and that and more inside of this weeks episode. Also be sure to check out Hot Boy Casey's soundcloud and show him some love and support for his music!www.facebook.com/barelyqualified

Here is another time to where more than ever I just decide to rant. It has been a few weeks since we have placed out an episode and I wanted to share the state of where the show is, the state of where our country is, and to provide my most feeble attempt of hope in these unscertain times.

An awesome episode this week with three friends of mine Larry, Kerry, and Kipp. No this is not the black version of the three stooges, but they are hilarious gentlemen nonetheless. In this first part of the two-part series we talk a lot about relationship duties, and responsibilities. What is considered an inordinate amount of sexual desire? How many licks does it take until you get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? And we end on politics. Which is poly meaning many, and tics meaning blood sucking vermen. There is genuine laughter and hilarity along the way and again this is part one of a two part silly series.
