As the saying goes "war is hell" but what is it good for? A little known fact in the US: each generation from Silent to Millennials have gone to fight in some war and Gen Z will have their own to face, if not now in the near future. And why does it seem freedom is not the endgame in a lot of the global aggressions? Terrance and John have a conversation about war and is it necessary,  economics and war, the broken window fallacy, bullying tactics and the biggest casualty: HUMAN LIVES! Let's break this curse together.

PS: Thoughts and prayers are going out to the people's lives being destroyed in this Russia/Ukraine war. 

Everyone likes a good movie and who doesn't listen to their favorite song over and over BUT there are influences in the entertainment industry that are consciously and unconsciously affecting how we think. Our emotions are definitely being manipulated. The question is: is this good or bad? Terrance and John discuss violence in entertainment, marketing techniques used  to increase purchases and the double standards in the industry. What's going is changing generations imperceptibly and this podcast will reveal the curse so we can break it.   

Sports! What an exciting topic. The last second shot, the final 2-minute drive, the homerun in the bottom of the ninth inning. All exciting memories of family entertainment. But is there a side of sports that might be a diversion from the truth of your generation? Are there government connections that might be driving (or not) certain social movements? Have women changed the way games are played? What about the transgender issue? Terrance and John "turn the diamond" to give a different perspective on the diversion called sports. Your opinions will be challenged. Enjoy!

We are dealing with the results (whether good or bad) of laws that were passed, in some cases, before we were born. The problem is many of us don't know it and this pattern can come back and haunt us as a nation if left unchecked. Terrance and John speak with special guest Judge Gerald Coleman to dive into major impact legislation from Jim Crow to Roe v. Wade to Obamacare. There is a curse in the legal system and you might be surprised to find out what it is. 

A story that is unbelievably powerful: betrayal, addiction, hypocrisy, victory, a lot of what each and every one of us can relate to. You just simply need to hear this story if you struggle with ANYTHING! Our special guest, Andrae Battles gives us the story of his life and how God and a dream given to Andrae kept him focused and ultimately shaped him into the man he is today. Struggles are cross-generational from Boomers to Gen Z and hearing this story will inspire you to press forward. Enjoy!  

With the rise of the US National debt to 30 Trillion, yes 30 Trillion! Are we are witnessing an alternative to buying and selling with cryptocurrency? Currently there are 8 states that are considering accepting digital  currency as payment. Tune in as John Barnette and Terrance J discuss is Crypto the New Currency? 

Many say there is hope for this dying planet. Can we achieve zero emissions and peace on this planet? Or is this a mission doomed to failure. Maybe this was thrown on you and it's not your fault but you plan to do better. Terrance and John dive into the possibilities in this episode.

Do you trust the media? Most major news outlets proclaim they are giving factual evidence of global, national and local events. Entire generations have been affected and even effected by the portrayal of events as delivered by the news media. BUT (keyword) did they or do they tell the truth? And if they do, is the truth slanted even tainted with a political agenda? We're pretty much a divided nation and Terrance and John breakdown the media's role in this division and talk about how to break this curse.

Gen Z - by some accounts the most unpredictable, crazy, erratic (fill in the blanks) and yes the most feared generation in existence. Wouldn't you like to know what's on their mind? Better yet would you like to know HOW they think? Terrance and John take a deep dive with  technical writer and brand development/web design artist Blaire Coleman about the Gen Z generation. We learned a lot and so will you. 

Viruses have been around for a long time but vaccines haven't. What is the best choice, to vax or not to vax? By now most of us have been educated, at least in part, in the ongoing saga of the right to get a vaccine OR not. Many believe those who don't receive the vaccine are responsible for the deaths of some who have been vaccinated. But is there a societal curse involved in all of this that needs to be broken? Is there some unseen issue that needs to be brought to the fore front? John and Terrance cover a brief history of viruses and the cure, the origins of vaccines and the present situation. There is a conspiratorial twist involved involving a wealthy billionaire as well. Hold on and go for the ride in the vaccination crisis.
