Shut Up! Podcast

In this episode, I discuss my satisfying Friday night of entertainment watching Zainab Johnson’s comedy special and Sinners, how Janelle James’ bit about men being dangerous helped me better explain a thought I shared in the last episode, the midterm election aftermath, and why I won’t be taking part in No Nut November.

In today’s episode, getting a flu shot at a grocery store, how the words "Made in America" will influence my purchasing decisions, my latest dishwasher drama, a theological question about who gets to define Jesus, and a TikTok clip that bruised my male ego in a surprisingly insightful way.

In this episode, I discuss something stupid Trump said about Abdul El-Sayed, my answer to the question “Why do we shrink?”, Cardi B’s Tiny Desk performance, This Hour Has 22 Minutes’ skit about Nicki Minaj, the saga of finally getting my new dishwasher installed, my experience as an undecided voter and why I considered voting strategically, and the challenge of finding my voice while building an audience.

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.
