Black On Both Sides

Black On Both Sides Episode #137

Kunta needed a “Me” day and decided to take it on the southwest side of LA. Compton, Crenshaw, Little Ethiopia, etc. The Marathon Store was looking more like a swap meet, so he decided to get some soul food. Nothing like some Turkey and Mac ‘n’ Cheese to reset the soul.

Kunta is well on his way to being a better version of himself. You can even hear it in his voice. His self help books and new wake-up regimen has show results. Kunta wants to let the world know. I, on the other hand, do not subscribe to letting the gurus in to my brain to assist in my “Self” improvement.

Self-help is for nothing if you don’t come prepared to finish the race. There may not be everything you need along the way. If all else fails, stick to the motto “Always bring your own juice”.

Kunta changes his name for this episode to MetaKunta. He is all in for the Metaverse and wants me to come along. I think I will wait to change my name until I can turn it into a NFT. That being said, what preparations are you making to turn your life into a virtual one? There has been a lot of talk about living virtually as it will be better. But what if it isn’t better? Are you willing to live in a matrix version of your current stressful life?

Black On Both Sides Episode #135

Thanksgiving has passed and Kunta went to someone else’s house for the event. Where was the mac n cheese? I also went to an in-law’s house and Kunta is offended for them that I didn’t eat. I do not eat at other people’s houses. Please don’t be offended. And please do still invite me. I want to be there and break bread with you and your family. However, I don’t want to eat the bread.

Kunta reports back on his 5 am Club findings. Is this arbitrary number really responsible for the titans of business? Can you force yourself to get up at 5 am everyday?

Kyle Rittnehouse getting off with no charges had Black America on edge that the Arbery trial was not going to go the way of justice. Much to everyone’s surprise the defendants were convicted on all counts. The country takes a loud and intentional exhale.

Whether or not you are part of the crypto gang doesn’t mean that crypto isn’t happening all around you. If you have not invested a penny into crypto, you aren’t alone. It does, however, mean that you are behind when it comes to what will inevitably be the future of money. Maybe Bitcoin is not the future. But something like Bitcoin will be. NFTs, Blockchain, Crypto currency all need to be a part of your vocabulary.

Black On Both Sides Episode #134

Kunta takes his opportunity to drag me over the Cowboys v Falcons matchup. True fans do not bail on their team when they are in the dumps. Atlanta fans have gotten used to the inconsistencies of our teams. So there will be no bailing. But let's all think back to when "Them Boys" were not so good and Kunta didn't even want to say their names on this podcast.

Kunta is on a journey to find daily balance. He plans to wake up early and sort his day before most of us are even considering hitting snooze. How do you feel about all of the VIPs of the world having a strict up at 5 am method to life? Is this what is necessary to become highly successful?

Two trials are currently in session. The Arbury murder trial and the Rittnehouse trial. I believe these are both open and shut cases and it shouldn't require much to end them. Kunta disagrees. I have been missing all of the coverage due to tuning out most of the news, but it seems as though we are going to need to address this on a future show. I can't remember a time when two high level trials were going on at the same time.

Black On Both Sides Episode #133

This week’s episode was short by BOBS standards. When you hear the Milwaukee Bucks, do you think of Big Black Bucks? Kunta does. In fact, he agrees that the recent World Champion Atlanta Braves are wrongfully using a derogatory word as their team name. The SJWs have successfully convinced The Washington Football Team to have no name at all. Hopefully this country will soon atone for its sins and we can move on to a happy cohesive healthy get-along community.

Do we care that Will Smith is playing Venus and Serena’s dad in a movie?

How many of you know Superman’s motto? I certainly don’t. But leave it to our resident comic book junkie to tell us that Life, Justice, and America…or something like that is the motto. Well, all of that is changing. Why? Because we have convinced ourselves that America is evil. We need to exorcise our demons and beg for forgiveness. You see it as a simple modification to a comic book motto. I see it as the end of the fabric upon which we stand. Maybe Condi Rice can push back the hoard with some white apologist talk.

The Bi in the new Superman is not short for Bionic. As this enrages some comic book fans, not everyone agrees that this is an issue. Remember, that not so long ago, the culture wasn’t ready for a black Spiderman or even a black Storm Trooper. In an age of inclusion and diversity, is it a problem that our kids will grow up with gay super heroes? Or is all of this a non-issue? If you are a fan of Superman comics, are you willing to adjust your beliefs? If not, are you willing to give Superman up altogether?

Bye, Superman #BOBS131

Black On Both Sides Episode #130

Kunta learns of a man that has his nether channels mixed up. Pee comes out the back and poop comes out the front. If you are as confused as I am, you are at least in a company of two. Apparently, a fistula between his rectum and his penis causes the juices to flow from wherever they choose.

Lil Nas X wants back in the closet and I knew it would happen. I can’t blame him considering he is arguably the biggest rapper of current time. Kunta admits that his kids love Lil Nas and that he knows and supports Billy Ray’s lyrics on Old Town Road.

R Kelly is going to be behind bars for a long time. We both agree that it is about time. However, there are detractors and Bill Cosby is one of them.

Kunta wants to give Ja Rule his flowers and apologize for the way he was ousted from the culture. We compare his hits to 50 cent’s hits. Can you guess who has more?

Kunta goes on a rant about why he supported the new Marvel movie. I will probably not see it, but Kunta recommends if only to show that Asian stereotypes are very far from how Asian people really are.

Kunta’s old pastor succumbed to Covid recently. RIP. The issue he has is that his pastor was not vaccinated nor masked. This is normal as there are many people who do not trust the vaccination for Covid. The issue here is that his pastor most likely didn’t get the vaccine for fear of microchips. No matter where you line up when it comes to the Covid vaccine, fearing a microchip puts you on the fringe of it all.

Black On Both Sides Episode #129

Both Kanye’s and Drake’s albums have been released. I am assuming you have had time to get through them. I didn’t. actually. I listened to Donda, but CLB only got half a listen. Which album is AOY? Or do either of them qualify? We all know K.Dot is gearing up for a release. Do either of them stand a chance?

Kunta finally comes to the realization that the legend of Aaliyah is mostly just a legend. I do not say that lightly, but I do say it in jest. You would have to be a member of the old Slack room to fully understand. We battled more than once about how important her voice was to R&B. Either way, he revisited some of the recently re-released albums and has a new take.

Neon Deion is bringing attention to HBCUs by being head coach of Jackson State. We look forward to seeing his rise as a coach. If nothing else, we appreciate his commitment to attempting to put HBCU sports on the map.

Black Lives Matter is a distant echo in the halls of last summer. Finally some form of justice begins for a couple of the victims of brutality on black people.

Abortion after 6 weeks is no longer a thing in the state of Texas. This includes rape victims. We actually agree on how awful this one is. However, there is a caveat. And we need to get granular.

Black On Both Sides Episode #128

OnlyFans reneges on their promise to clean up the internet of all things sex-worker. Kunta loves that I was wrong abut that. I guess when you are right so much of the time, proving me wrong feels like a celebration. Either way, congratulations to the culture for letting big-tech know that we need our porn.

Kanye finally releases his project but couldn't manage to do it without publicity stunt after publicity stunt. Did he want it released? Are Kim and him getting back together? Did he want to cancel DaBaby? Are those songs distorted? Has that 4-bar loop been playing for 11 minutes straight? Is he off his meds?

Who is more impactful as the soundtracks of our lives....Michael Jackson or R. Kelly? Both have had issues with minors. Both got hits on hits. Who are you riding with?

More deaths in Afghanistan. Meanwhile Joe is sleeping at the wheel. No seriously. he fell asleep at the wheel. Why didn't someone hit him on his celly? Was he also asleep when he thought it would be a good idea to have the Taliban in charge of evacuation security detail.
