Here's to another polarizing episode for the record books with our special quest Rhett Palmer. 

Rhett Palmer started his career in radio at the early age of ten. He was hired to go “On Air” as he squirted mustard and ketchup onto the all new indoor-outdoor carpet at the carpet department at Montgomery Wards. He was then interviewed by the local DJ to confirm that the carpet washed with mere water was in fact clean as a whistle! He would later return to radio as a talk host at the age of forty.

Rhett is now a twenty-four year daily radio host veteran as well as a magazine publisher for nearly a decade. Known as The Mayor of The Airwaves tm, he has interviewed U.S. Presidents, Secretary of States and Governors as well as celebrated Hollywood stars, hundreds of NY Times bestselling authors, inventors, purported aliens from outer space and rock stars.

A prolific composer, Rhett’s songs include Have A Very Merry Christmas for Debbie Macomber’s Hallmark movie Call Me Mrs. Miracle, the Gold Advertising award winning Coming Home for the Holidays jingle for The American Red Cross and advertising jingles for automobile and boat dealerships, The American Lung Association, The Honeywell Corporation and more.

Mr. Palmer has performed and sold his gospel and patriotic songs on six continents and composed and sang his positive thinking songs for corporations including Coldwell Banker Real Estate , Mary Kay Cosmetics and Shaklee.

Rhett took First Place Vocalist in Nashville’s Music City Song Festival and has garnered multiple awards for his radio talk show.

He writes poetry on a daily basis and still composes songs. He is a published writer and has traveled internationally as a Christian missionary.

Rhett Palmer lives in Vero Beach, Florida and continues as a morning radio host six days a week on iHeart Radio on The Rhett Palmer Show. He can often be found at local charity events supporting the community he loves.

Hope you enjoy the show.

A house divided cannot stand, and given the current nature within American politics; there has never been a more important time in recent history then now. From our President's divisive rhetoric that embolden the bowels of hate, to the misleading information that compels us to normalize inhumanity; Pat and I speak on recent events regarding the urgency of unity which are at odds by one's own method of seeking justice and equality. Pat's brother Donnie Walters join us in our conversation giving a point of view enlightening us further as we come together trying to make sense of it all. Hope you enjoy the show. 

Here in this episode Pat and I have the opportunity to talk with Joel. A young local conservative and die hard Trump supporter.  Interesting conversation from two polarizing political views with the intent on finding a middle ground. Did we get anywhere...perhaps, but our goal here was really trying to get an understanding in light of strong views and unyielding opinions. Hope you enjoy the show ..and don't forget to subscribe and rate us as we continue growing.

We speak on how any publicity is good publicity when it comes down to staying relevant. Hip hop consists of who can stay relevant for the longest and that includes good and bad publicity. Even if you don't agree, most of these artist just want their name to be mentioned for something and we oblige you on this episode. 

In this episode we chat it up with Patrick Skywalters's childhood friend Martin "Martini" Langley. Martini and Pat was apart of a rap group called the Moonshine Crooks whom was once a interest of Capitol Records in the golden age of hip hop. The Capitol Records deal fizzled out when the true nature of the deal was revealed. However Martini stayed with his passion and still records to this day.  In this episode the debate goes on....what makes a classic record ? How you define country (besides our voice) ? And how race define our relationship among people we interact with.  We look forward to hearing your feedback and as always please subscribe if you haven't and of course...thank you.

Inspired by the presidential debate between Trump vs Biden, We take in account the impact of the issues address without really understanding the clear goal from virtually neither side.  Briefly we go into the history of identity politics and what roll the hip hop community plays in the political process.

Fair enough everybody have an opinion. Not saying we are wrong nor right for that matter, but we are at a trying moment with divisive rhetoric and embolden hostility in the country we all love but not willing to  love some of us back. Here we talk about our celebrity in chief insidious ambition of becoming a dictator and speaking of our own prejudice. Breana Taylor and this possible misguided cause for justice.  

We love the W.A.P.  but make no mistake that is not the glue to a lasting relationship. We're at it again. This time with our guest Barrytone Zoohouse who helps us dive deep into the frivolous nature of guys willingness to make premature commitments as a way to secure a fragile relationship they caused to begin with. I think we all been there.  We even go back to the topic of Tupac with another point of view of what he stood for in hip hop.  Take a listen and tell us what you think?

What is it about hip hop that compel us to glorify violence and criminal behavior more then peace and upliftment? Are there really powers that be that controls our consumption of a decadent art form?
