Things got deep, and a lil weird, but that's good too! We shared what was the last book we all read and how we choose to consume books. Can men be "happy"? We share our takes on that question and we self assess the level of happiness we have ag the moment.

Our brother Watt's Stix pulls up and we discuss snitching and street codes. Somehow we start talking about women who have "side houses" for play outside of their family life, and how being a married man is attractive to women. We also find out what great tv shows we are fans of and that we have never seen.

Eric happened to be in town for a screening of his documentary and came through. We laughed deeply and our connected as our conversation started about the best gifts we've received and given, to discussing what restorative justice is, and looking at why there are so few men who work with young kids by trade.

We welcome Joshua to the pod and our conversation starts with doppelgängers and moves to being secure with our masculinity and somehow flows to racial hatred.

This episode of MOTV welcomes Dr. Charles Dorsey. We begin with a conversation around gratitude and the CDC's ACE's study. The Center for Disease Control studied the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences and those early traumas on health. We discuss our scores and reflect on the role trauma plays in our lives. And somehow we end up talking about what makes a good friend and how we'd want to raise our children intentionally.

On this episode we share our beliefs and opinions on some popular conspiracy theories! We start with area 51 and aliens, to flat earth and the moon landing, all the way to discussing if dinosaurs were real.

The group opens by talking about dating apps and online dating. Which somehow led us to explore the world of sending nudes to strangers. Then we discuss consent in dating and in relationships and who gets to require consent.

On this episode, Matt joins the conversation and we begin to talk about our zodiac signs and what they mean. We find out who has downloaded the "Pattern" app. We attempt to answer the question of "who are we" which takes us into the meanings of our names and love languages. 

We gladly welcomed our guy Nick to talk with us about black homeownership, wealth building, and investment strategies.

It's our 1st episode of "Men of the Village". We begin by talking about how we originally started having open and vulnerable conversations with one another, and move on to discuss hyper/toxic masculinity, mentors, Michael Jackson, sexual predators, and learning to have grace for our imperfect fathers. Our goal was to finally get the pod started, and to find something to improve each time we get together. This is the start, only place to go from here is hopefully up!
