You're FiredIt's Series 13 Episode 4
Welcome back to day 26 of Black History Month; before we get into the day's discussion, I want to share with yall a video I saw on Instagram; this video was re-posted by mrshenry1115. This fact I did not realize until I read the comments. The video was of a white baby girl dressed in what appeared to be a christening ensemble, and a man who I presume to be her father was recording. In the video, the man recording says, in a way I can only imagine was intended to be comical-mark missed-" Get that Fu%$*%g stupid s%*t of my daughter, She looks like she's ready for a Fu%$&*g Harriet Tubman meeting." Now, when I saw this, I knew due to the current climate of the world and the degree to which people are capable of defending; the comments were going to be a mix of emotions, sentiments, and statements: 
"I cackled so loud."
"I'm sorry, but I laughed so hard at this."
"You might want to delete this, not a good look for you or the fact that it's black history month and you have a man using Harriet Tubman in a negative tone. Are you serious with this"
"Well...looks like we are divided on this one. Was it just a joke about the dress being outdated, or did the dress remind him (the dad) of what he believed runaway slaves wore and thought it was ugly? Either way seems like an odd thing to say to describe a child in what looks like a christening gown." 
Y'all let me know in the comments your thoughts. This is the video.
In today's show, we continue our discussion on fear and its relation to the idea of danger, real and perceived. Lady dee says that the world hasn't necessarily gotten more dangerous; the people have gotten less fearful, therefore creating and exacerbating the idea of crime. We then abruptly shift gears to lighten the mood to talk about if you have ever been fired. As you will hear, Lady Dee and PBid have not been fired, now Jazz, on the other hand...Just listen, that's all!

A Lack of FearIt's Series 13 Episode 3
Happy 19th Day of Black History Month. First, I want to express my appreciation for your continued support of foolishness and seriousness at the same time. We started this podcast because we wanted to share our thoughts and viewpoints on what impacts our lives daily. Our goal here will always be to be genuine, to be honest, and to be relatable. We want you all to know that we are just a few friends having fun and talking about life, and we hope you can relate. Make sure you share it with someone if you laughed at one of PBid's statements, or if one of Lady Dee's comments made you think, of if Jazz had you going, WTF! Because we want to bring the gift of thought-provoking questions and meaningful conversations to a household near you! So as we begin today's show, we discuss what it would look like if we crafted our perfect life. So what do you think? If you could wake up tomorrow and pick the elements of your ideal life, what would it look like? Let us know in the comments. As you will hear, PBid embraces his imperfections, Lady Dee wants a save button, and Jazz wants generational wealth and stability. In the same breath, we move on to question whether the world has indeed gotten more dangerous or is it only difficult because we have been taught to fear? We value your opinions, so let us know what you think, and remember, no one can tell your story like you can!

Welcome Back to Blue Moon Vibes! The podcast that makes you laugh a lil' bit cry a lil' bit, and think a lil' bit! My goal is to be the one that gives you more than you asked! I hope you can find value in these topics, and they become something that you talk amongst your friends and family about! Don't shy away from challenging issues because that is where growth happens! The change you want to see is the change you must create! We are worthy, we are tenacious, we are strong, and we are purposeful! The only way to erase the divide is to unite as a nation and treat each other as people, with respect and courtesy!
The Color of OUR SkinIt's Series 13 Episode 2
Happy12th day of Black History Month, beautiful humans! How has your week been? Let us know in the comments! Y'all got them w-2's, lol. As we continue discussing the evolution of the term ethnic and how it became almost synonymous with African Americans, we discovered that we could have been the reason behind it! We create our lingo when we are amongst our friends and other like-minded constituents. As LadyDee pointed out, this could have been overheard by others and "stuck," Almost like a game of telephone. And then we have paid! Lol, concluding our discussion on the complexities of the word ethnic, we move on to wonder why we are still judged by the color of our skin? We all understand that racism is a thing and that colorism is as well, but why does my skin color dictate my worth or lack-there-of? LadyDee raises a strong point that the media plays a vital part in perpetuating the colorism standard and the disenfranchisement of darker skin-toned humans. Do you all believe we will EVER get to a place where we are not judged by the color of our skin? Let us know in the comments.

Happy Black History MonthIt's Series 13 Episode 1
Happy Black History Month, beautiful humans! How has your week been? Let us know in the comments! We are just waiting on those W-2's; lol yall too? This month holds a special place in our hearts for the culture that is Black America. Not only because it is Black History month but because it is a chance to spotlight and CELEBRATE EVERYTHING black and positive! Join us on today's show to discuss why the term ethnic is used to describe black people. And then we have PBid with his Caucascity.... So let's back up a bit what is ethnic? 

1: of or relating to races or large groups of people who have the same customs, religion, origin, etc.
2: associated with or belonging to a particular race or group of people who have a culture that is different from the main culture of a countryFull Definition of ethnic

1a:  of or relating to large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin or background
b: being a member of a specified ethnic group
c: of, relating to, or characteristic of a minority ethnic group
Definition of ethnic 

: a member of an ethnic group, especially: a member of a minority group who retains the customs, language, or social views of the group
As you can see, ethnic does not mean "black"; it can include "African Americans" but is not strictly defined as such. So why has that become synonymous with our culture? Stick around, and we will share our thoughts.

Blunt, Kempt, and TactfulIt's Series 12 Episode 5Hey hey hey, we are back at it on this beautiful Saturday! How have yall's week been? We've got a quick show for yall today. As we continue our discussion on the likeness of Mr. Kevin Samuels, we further discuss that there should always be a level of kempt and tact in anything that we do. If you want to re-iterate a point if you have to be professionally blunt if you need "tell someone off." Regardless of the situation, you should ALWAYS have tact. What is tact, you ask? Great question. Websters defines tact as follows:

: the ability to do or say things without offending or upsetting other people.Full Definition of tact

1: a keen sense of what to do or say to maintain good relations with others or avoid offense2: sensitive mental or aesthetic perceptionSo, What all of that means is, in no way am I telling you to "sugarcoat" things. The point I want to convey is to say what you mean and mean what you say. Just do it tactfully to share your point, and all is understood. There is no reason to maliciously and intentionally hurt someone's feelings or make them feel inferior, so think about how you present your thoughts. I have been guilty of this in the past, misconstruing the idea of honesty. My previous idea of "honest" was not caring what came out of my mouth. If it came to my head, it came out my mouth. As I have gotten older, I have refined this idea. Although I am still honest, I choose my words cautiously while still getting my point across.We then move on to Amazon. I know how on earth did that happen? Listen, you will find out, lol! So would you instead shop online or in person? But how about that Jeff Bezos man! This man has mastered the art of online presence and DOMINATED! From scaling his online product selection to the opportunities to earn money through selling on his platform, Amazon is a BEAST and so rightfully named! Amazon is a trusted brand and household name! May we all take a page from the extraordinary memoir that is Mr. Bezos! But what are your thoughts! Let us know in the comments!

Fat, Broke, and UnambitiousIt's Series 12 Episode 4As we continue our discussion surrounding anime, we land on Hiku. If you haven't heard of Hiku... WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!! Lol, you are missing out on some FANTASTIC motivation. As you will hear in today's show, I am a fan of Hinata! This little guy gives me hope, he doesn't let anything, and I mean ANYTHING, stop him from reaching his goals. He is willing to learn, coachable, hungry, and has a drive that can not be matched. He is who I WANT to be; he doesn't let setbacks stop him from the mission at hand. I believe it is a show for ALL ages because many times as we get older, we can get set in our ways, forget how we got there, forget that someone had to help us, and forget that we don't know everything! These are the principles that Hiku reminds us of! NO ONE is too big to LEARN from someone else, and if you feel as though you are, YOU are a part of the problem! Humble yourself, young grasshopper. Do you remember who you were BEFORE you thought no one could tell you anything? 
Moving on now to the ENRAGE portion of the show! Kevin Samuels! in the brief clip, you will hear Mr. Kevin Samuels publicly embarrass and belittle several men on his "Show." Now, I hear ya, honesty is the BEST policy, and you are 100% correct. There is no need to sugarcoat, water down, or pacify the inadequacies of a person's character abilities, mannerisms, attitudes, drives, goals, or lack thereof to satiate their egos! BUT being rude, for a laugh, is downright despicable! You can tell someone they are fat without the sarcastic, nonsensical undertones of mockery.
Furthermore, who are YOU to say what a woman won't want in HIM? Because he makes $40,000 at 40 years old, it's a problem; well, excuse me, sir, I didn't know YOU were dating him! The reality is that sometimes you NEED someone to tell you what the problem is, but the truth of the matter is Mr. Samuels is preying on the insecurities of those that call his show. Honesty is ALWAYS best, RUDENESS, MOCKERY, and EMBARRASSMENT, not the way! 
Mr. Kevin Samuels has made his millions, and kudos to him on that; shoot, I'm trying to get there, but the reality, in my opinion, is that he gets off on the humiliation and the public ridicule because he is compensating. It seems that men of his caliber need to feel important, wanted, needed, and he has taken those desires morphed them into 1.7 or so million youtube followers and a net worth of approx 2 million! Well, give the people what they want, right? Social Handles

Our Ancestor's Wildest DreamIt's Series 12 Episode 3As we continue with whether the black past proves the black future, we discuss how just because our ancestor's circumstances appeared a certain way, we are proof that your present isn't indicative of your destiny; why? Because we are our ancestor's wildest dream. The fact that we are in a position to strive for education, a place to use our free speech, and create the future we want. We further ponder what makes life worth living. For us, it is peace, true friendship, and legacy. What about you all? Our lives are all written for a specific purpose, and we will live our truths through the choices we make. Have you ever thought about what the next page of your book will say? As we all know, life is not for the faint at heart, and it should not be taken lightly. You deserve someone in your life that tells you what you need to hear, not what you WANT to hear. We further discuss black men and their increasing ability to be open. This is a great stride for the culture because, in previous years, a black male that showed feelings or shed tears was viewed a weak or, in some cases, less than. In that same breath, if you, as a black person, do something that isn't traditionally black, you are labeled as "weird," so we move on to why it may be "a problem" in the black community if you like. Anime? What do you guys think! Do you like anime? As always, we are so grateful that you all spend time with us. Thank you for listening, and join us back next Saturday at 1230pm ET

Happy New YearIt's Series 12 Episode 2It is day 8 of the new year! Before we get started, how has your year been thus far? Mine has been insane hence the time of this post, and I am beyond sorry for that! If you guys follow me on IG @all.thatt.jazz, I made a post about how I was made fun of as a child for having dark skin, so much so they called me BEAST! My post more or less stated that I now understand they were telling me who I was before I knew! So 2022 is #BEASTMODE. So on today's episode, we continue with our discussion around the belief that financially affluent black people don't understand what it means to be black. Why do you believe that black people have crushed stereotypes, risen above our originally impoverished destiny to create a future of wealth and a foundation of success? We further speak about how we have furthered our culture through the pages of a book. We through a wild card in there of what never fails to liven up a party! We then move on to discuss, what are some hard truths in life that you have had to learn? PBID drops a bomb on us with, "You are the orchestrator of most of your problems." Have you ever stopped to take that realization in? As he leaves us speechless with that response, we begin discussing whether the black past proves the black future?

Happy New YearIt's Series 12 Episode 1Happy New Year! Can yall believe it's 2022 already? It feels like yesterday we got locked down, and the world ran out of toilet paper! WOW, time moves so fast! How was your 2021? What are you looking forward to in 2022? What was something you were thankful for? How will the next 365 days be different than the last? Full of questions, right? EXACTLY! Ask yourself the challenging questions so that you can push ourself to the next level! On today's show, we will be discussing whether or not we believe our story matters. Well, do you? Do you feel that the mistakes, lessons, triumphs, and setbacks that are part of your story will matter to anyone or even yourself? We also question why "the community" believes that financially affluent black people don't know what it means to be black. This, to me, is insane. The mere notion that I have achieved financial success and stability has somehow diminished my understanding of the blackness I was BORN into. What do you guys think?

Why PBid Hates Christmas!It's Series 11 Episode 4Merry Christmas, Yall! Today Is going to be short and sweet! Today I hope you all are enjoying your families today, or at least you are spending time with those that matter most to you on this day! If the past three years have taught us anything, it's that days are short and time moves fast, so make every moment last. Today is a day of cherishing those that make your life worth living, although every day should be that it's something about the holiday season that presses that messes home just a bit harder. I want all of you to have a safe love-filled holiday season, and I pray that you can develop a plan to manifest all your dreams. The previous days may have made you feel you didn't deserve it. As I have said, something about the holidays makes us think we can conquer the world, but I want you to feel that way every day because YOU CAN! May the Lord Bless you and keep you through this season and 2022! Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, Happy Hanukkah, and All others! Know that you matter and that every day is a gift! Enjoy our Holiday Special, and we will see you all back here next Saturday! Peace Love and Shine On!
