Let's talk about a very special day... A day when you are up all night the day before just to cook. A day when your family gets to meet your new boo for the first time. A day when you have to be reminded that you’ve gained some weight and you find out if you are in fact "grown" based on what table you have to sit at. If you haven't already guessed it, we're talking about Thanksgiving. For some people this is just a day to eat all day, but in the black community this is a historic event. Not only is this a time to fellowship with family/friends but it's a time to let go of petty disagreements and show love to one another. Today we talk about a very special day for us but we couldn't do that without our wives. So we brought back Esperanza(52's wife) & Aubrey(Erv's wife) to talk about the wonderful Thanksgiving memories from the past & present. So grab your friends/family, a plate of food and join us as we reflect on such a special day. Make sure you eat good, love your family & enjoy this day. Happy Thanksgiving Kin Folk!!!

Since 1996 we've heard the great philosopher Sean Carter make the saying "Politics As Usual" popular amongst the hip hop community. It's been used so much that is can be simply translated as "it is what it is" in our culture. From not getting a job promotion, to having to explain your side of a story & even your favorite sports team not having a winning season. We all know that feeling of things just being the same as they always are. But did you know that the saying is actually used when speaking about politics? We know that this is an election year and for some this was one of the most important elections for several different reasons. No matter what your party affiliation is we've all had our own thoughts of how this election should've gone, one way or another. So today we discuss our thoughts on the election and the mental state of mind that we're in after everything that has happen thus far. Lastly we speak on what we can do as a community to help not only ourselves but our people.

Have you ever thought about starting a business  or even creating a product but decided to not do it because someone already had something similar? Or perhaps you looked on social media and felt you where the only one not living your best life. But what if we told you that it's enough room for everyone to be successful and prosper? Today we sit back with Craig Holmes, Founder of "Deep Rooted Culture" clothing line. Craig schools us on the importance of coming together as a people and why supporting black businesses is so imperative. We get down to the core of the thought process of thinking that we can't do something because someone is doing it already. As crazy as it sounds, many of us have had those same thoughts. So we wanted to take a deeper look into how we can change this way of thinking and even how we can create an environment that is conducive to support one another. After all its truly big enough where WE ALL CAN EAT!!!

When it comes to Guy Code everyone has their own set of rules of what is or isn't considered Guy Code. Everything from who you can date, to how you interact with your boys & even what to say around women. When you think about Guy Code, it really is an unspoken set of guidelines that sometimes vary but ultimately are the rules that men live by. Whatever Guy Code means to you is important to how you navigate in life. But today we wanted to take a different approach to Guy Code and discus what it means to be a man and even some of the misconceptions that come with manhood. Being a man can't really be categorized into just one thing because it has so many different layers so to add a different perspective when brought in our good brotha Tim Jones to share some of his experiences with being a man. Your perspective on being a man can change as you get older but ask yourself, do you still live by a Guy Code?
