Decoding 40

Hey everybody, we're off this week, so we're giving you a little bonus episode to tide you over until next week.

In this episode we play you some of our favorite clips since we started recording. See you guys next week!

This week, the guys recap the details of their Father’s Day and Mack raises the bar with a captivating and explicit story about his dad meeting a woman at the senior residence home who may or may not have worked there.

They also give their take on the outrageous viral video of a kindergarten graduation where a young boy hurls an explicative or two at a teacher at the start of the ceremony. They explore some of the scenarios that could have driven the boy to be so vulgar. 

The discussion continues about reality television and some of the staples of the genre that include Jerry Springer and Maury Povich. They also tackle the question if reality shows are dumbing down the culture.

The guys round out the hour talking about the impact of the Golden Age of Hip Hop versus the current culture, imagery of Black people in film, television, and music, Lil Nas X and how he is connected to Joan Rivers and her Black History moment. And, finally, we give you our whiskey of the week.

Episode 16 starts off with a trivia question. What is Sisqo's most successful song? Here's a hint, it's not the Thong song or the remix.

The natural transition from the thong song is of course porn. The crew discusses their go to searches and we find out L.O. likes Bedstuy amateurs.

Next, we discuss possible 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang's controversial idea to give every American an extra $1000 a month. Yang feels his idea is necessary because of the growing use of automation and artificial intelligence which is causing the human workforce to shrink. Will it really help the average citizen or will it lead to massive inflation?

Finally, Willy Strings stops by and answers some questions for the crew. We then get into a conversation about music, and the differences in taste we share with our significant others. We cover all genres from 90's Hip Hop to Kendrick to Sade to Erika Badu.

Welcome back to Decoding40. We’ve got more laughs and more stimulating conversation for you.    We kick it off with an homage to one of the greatest Black shows, The Jeffersons, in a way that only Vincent can manage to take it just a little too far.    In this episode, find out what happens when L.O. mistakenly switched out actual alcohol for Heineken 0.0.   First, we actually discuss, for real this time, the opioid crisis versus the crack epidemic and the impact that the pharmaceutical companies have had on society. And, the new prosecution that the biggest drug pushers on the planet are now facing.    Next, we discuss the next presidential cycle and if the democrats are about to repeat the same mistakes of 2016.   Then, we talk about hoarders and the interesting treasures that one might be surprised or disgusted to find.  Alaric tells us a creepy story about the time he rescued his elderly neighbor who lived in massive hoard collection in Brooklyn.     Thanks for listening! Be sure to share us with a friend.    Peace from Decoding40 crew!

Welcome back to Decoding40. This is lucky Episode 13 and it is seriously packed with a ton of laughter and opinions.    We start off with one of the most popular tech arguments to date—Android versus Apple.  The crew gets into a heated discussion on which brand is better. Listen to see which brand wins.    L.O. shares a bizarre story about a time when he met Jill Scott in her dressing room.    The crew then trade stories on avoiding scams involving brand new cars, too good to be true apartments, and fake checks.     Mack is getting married, so in the advice segment the crew shares its wealth of experience to the newest member of the ball and chain crew.    Our public service announcement  this week is directed to all white people—not all Black and Brown people are out to get you.   Be sure to check out the libation segment and the start of the legend that is Random Rambling Burnett.    As always, thanks for listening and we hope you tune in again next week. Peace.
