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.

In this episode, I discuss a quote about growth, why midweek recordings are basically bonus episodes, how food influences my mood, why I was angry at the new Spider-Man movie despite agreeing with everyone who enjoyed it, a song that was recently stuck in my head, a video that inspired me to keep fighting my inner critic, whether this religious chick is actually just horny, and a video that made me realize just how much I’ve grown.

In this episode, I discuss not having an episode of House of the Dragon to watch tonight, loving yourself like Zambian lawyer Naomie Pilula, finishing Book 4 of Dungeon Crawler Carl, rewatching Juice while high, how The Odyssey was a great f*cking movie, and following up on my reaction to The Jasmine Garden’s New Ager vs. 20 Christians discussion by explaining the meaning of FYAYCAJ and why Jesus and I needed a divorce.

In this episode, I start out with a Bible verse, explain my intention to keep this one short, discuss Trump vs. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a clip from Therapy Straight No Chaser that had me thinking about church folks, and how I had absolutely no intention of watching or talking about the viral exchange between Ebony Jasmine Harris, aka The Jasmine Garden, and 20 Christians. 

In this episode, I discuss a quotable that made me relate to Daeron Targaryen, the wise words of an elder, something to put on my vision board, discovering the New Jack City soundtrack, jokes about the Haitian accent and trad wives, remembering the Montgomery Riverfront brawl, Tuskegee University’s new dress code policy, finishing Children of Blood and Bone, and whether it’s too late to make new connections.

In this episode, I discuss growing up feeling like I was never enough, how much I've been enjoying the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and Children of Blood and Bone, the people upset at how AI is helping level the playing field for people like me, white nationalist masked protests and free speech, growing up curious and Christian, how Shut Up! Podcast stands with Ms. Rachel, and a thought provoking post by Tony Nagy that left me asking myself whether I'm truly being myself or just performing.
