Generation Us episodes

  • #32 - I can breathe a little more

    In this episode, we are back at it talking about the "moment" we are in as history is literally being made right before our eyes. In the 16 days since George Floyd's murder, the world has seen unprecedented changes. We marvel at and applaud the multicultural young generation who are leading this change by protesting everyday on the front lines. We chronicle the list of monumental changes that are underway as we continue to wonder where we go from here. The times look like they are really changing. Enjoy!

  • #31 - George Floyd

    In this EP, we talk about the only thing the world is talking about. The modern day lynching of George Floyd by police officers who were paid to "serve and protect". We discuss, debate, argue and speak our respective truths about being people of color in these United States. At times heated ... At times funny ... But always real, as always. Enjoy!

  • #30 - Lawless behavior

    In this episode, we almost don't even talk about Covid-19 because there's been SO much more going on in the world. We talk about the modern day lynching of George Floyd in Minneapolis. From there, we move to Amy Cooper in New York who tried to weaponize law enforcement against a person of color and the consequences of that. A lot of food for thought that hopefully will cause you to talk about these issues with your village as we pray for change. Enjoy!

  • # - 29 Partial freedom

    In this next installment of the Covid-19 chronicles, we have our recurring Covid guest Sherman in on the mic. In this one, we talk about where we are -as always here lately-in the pandemic lockdown. We talk about the only sports program drawing everyone's attention - The Last Dance. Michael Jordan's final season with the Chicago Bulls. We also talk about the lack of federal leadership in this pandemic crisis and the fact that states are now starting to open back up and whether it's too early for that to happen. We talk about how the pandemic is affecting the rest of the world and why some places are being affected less. Then we take a walk down memory lane and compare the music of todayto the music of years ago when you played albums on a record player. Different time and different energy. Hilarious as always. Enjoy!

  • Just the two of us

    In this episode, we are back on the mic talking about lockdown life. O had a recent doctor's appointment that was like none he's ever had before. We talk about what businesses may be gone for good ... Will you go back to a movie theatre after all of this is over? What will hanging out in a club look like after this? These and other things we chop it up about. We make you laugh and (hopefully) we make you think. Enjoy!

  • #26 - Pandemic lockdown

    In this next installment of the Covid-19 chronicles, we have our recurring Covid guest Sherman in on the mic. In this one, we talk about where we are in the pandemic lockdown. How long it's been, and how long this looks likely to go. Sherman raises an intriguing theory that Covid-19 has been sent by Mother Earth as a lesson on how quickly she can heal AND as a warning that the human race is expendable. We talk about what life will look like on the other side of this, how this pandemic challenge is bringing out the best in humanity and lessons to be learned. Hilarious as always, with some things to make you think just a little bit deeper about life in these times. Enjoy!

  • #25 - Buy a boomer!

    Obren and Lavala are joined by their "in house comedian" William Sherman to talk about the current state of life with Covid-19. As this pandemic continues to unfold, we're all left in the dark with very little information on when - or if - it's going to end. However, because boomers want to know EVERYTHING, they're equipped with all the information there is to know. As a result, now is the best time, ever, to invest in a boomer. This one is funny y'all. Enjoy!

  • #24 - Sports and betting

    In this episode, we square off with 2 boomers vs. 2 millennials. Our recurring attorney, lecturer, comedian Sherman and Bruce .E. Bundles comes in to the studio to chop it up. We talk about COVID-19, sports betting, the stock market, Lavala's pre-wedding event in Toronto, Canada, the fact that Father Time is undefeated, and what that means for Tom Brady. This is funny and at times deep. Enjoy!

  • #23 - COVID-19

    In this episode, we talk about the COVID-19 pandemic. We covered the myth that this is a "Boomer virus," the shade being dropped on college students still doing spring break like nothing is happening and our collective responsibility to take care of one another. Every one of us is responsible for taking care of each of us. Stay safe out there. Enjoy!
