Shut Up! Podcast

In this episode, I discuss my passionate hatred of Christopher Columbus, my struggles with life without a dishwasher, the 31st anniversary of the Million Man March, a recent story I heard about revenge, Jerry Seinfeld being an asshole, a straight male comic’s take on slut-shaming, and how being offensive is being passed off as comedy.

In this episode, I discuss an Aristotle quote, my Thanksgiving plans, buying a new dishwasher, comparing the TLS handshake to a scene from The Sopranos, that viral clip by Ne Prosto Orchestra, whether there's a connection between slavery and Trump's beef with Canada,realizing that maybe my role in conversations about sexual violence isn't to change other men's minds, but to let those who get it know they're not alone, and my latest bout with negative self-talk.

In this episode, I discuss another quote about maturity, how TBGWT’s This Too Much and The Drop has me reminiscing about my days as a die-hard West Coast hip-hop fan, how Trump makes me want to give up on humanity, Angie Nixon’s clapback, the burden of dealing with emotionally immature people, geeking out after getting a Hello World Docker container running, a recent letter from the CRA, spoiler alert, they want their money, and punishing myself for taking up space. 

In this episode, I discuss white people who don’t listen to Black voices, people who take a genuine interest in others, recording on my day off, the Obama years and the higher standard Republicans once had for the presidency, wondering whether the average American voter is more entertained by the stupidity in Congress than concerned about it, a lil moment of positivity, and International Podcast Day.

In this episode, I discuss a Marcus Aurelius quote that had me thinking about the power of knowing you’re going to die, a nature clip that made me think that being chosen is not always good, the power of white vinegar, Jane Smith of First Credit Union, the mom in the viral Giants clip and her defense of her husband, and my reason for still podcasting.

In this episode, I discuss a verse by Nas that pushed me to describe my podcast, a Canadian content creator who had some creative nicknames for Trump, headlines from the Macklemore “Free Palestine” controversy that restored some of my hope in humanity, and I reflect on a question I’ve been asking myself lately: Was it always been like this?

In this episode, I discuss today’s quotable, no longer trying out Riverside, the list of things I will not be talking about, the anniversary of 2Pac’s death, the 48 hours and 3 minutes it took me to pick up book 6 of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Raygun’s new Netflix documentary, and my reaction to a white man’s erroneous assumption about my work experience. 

In this episode, I talk about my ongoing trial run with Riverside, the shitty day at work that had me thinking about keeping it real, therapy and being the bigger person, enjoying my recent YouTube Music/AI-generated music playlist, Les Grands Lacs and comedian Michelle Wolf’s take on Trump’s trade war with Canada, the bigger conversation we should be having about these alpha male boot camp videos, and remembering that being Black means knowing who you are in a society that's constantly trying to tell you who you're not.

In this episode, I discuss a Frantz Fanon quote that felt a little too personal, trying out Riverside for the first time, part two of why I think my social media algorithm is fucking with me, a Dungeon Crawler Carl quote that had me thinking about Trump and that cognitive test he supposedly aced, how Bruno Mars set me up for failure, and getting older and wondering why I don’t enjoy things like I used to.

In this episode, I discuss looking forward to reading the authorized biography of 2Pac, loving my last episode like a song, why I won’t be talking about Mark Carney’s decision to walk away from trade talks with the United States, a Jewish man’s perspective on the Confederate flag, a take on the passing of Dolly Parton, why I think the algorithm is fucking with me, and why being a Black podcaster doesn’t mean I always have to cover tragic current events involving Black people.
