The title of today’s episode is more of a nod to the day it’s being recorded—and the fact that it’s Black History Month. In this one, I share a recent thought that hit me as I was leaving the barbershop.

In this episode, I share my initial thoughts on the audiobook "Ça ne marchera jamais !", the French edition of That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea. More than just a book review, this is about how it’s making me reflect on where I’ve been and where I am now. I also talk about why I chose to listen to it in French.

In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing my three-phase response to the 3GO crew reading my letter—and what it all means to me.

This man cold is kicking my a$$ —or maybe I’m just letting it. Either way, no episode today.

As a reminder, I usually record on Sundays and Wednesdays, and pubish shortly after. I’ll be back at it soon!

In the meantime, here are the lyrics to the theme song:

If you’re a heckler (Shut up!)/If you’re a hater (Shut up!)
If you ain’t holding the mic, then STFU

Fuck boi (Shut up!)/ Fake Friends (Shut up!)
If you ain’t about growth, then STFU!

Negrophobic? (Shut up!) /All Lives Matter (Shut up!)
White man with a forked tongue, STFU!

Victim blaming (Shut up!)/Uncaring (Shut up!)
If your words ain’t to our benefit, STFU!

Liar, liar (Shut up!)/ Wolf crier (Shut up!)
When grown folks are talking, youngin STFU!

You traitor (Shut up!) /Manipulator (Shut up!)
Real friends know the time to STFU!

Wrong teacher (Shut up!)/wicked preachers (Shut up!)
If you ain’t got any answers, hey! STFU!

Interrupters (Shut up!)/ obstructers (Shut up!)
If you ain’t holding the peace pipe, STFU!

Birthday week officially ends today (yeah, I’m counting January 4 to January 15 as a week), and I’ve got a lot on my mind. One night in New Orleans, eight days on a cruise ship. In this episode, I talk about what went down, the thoughts that came up, and a little food for thought to chew on.  Tune in and find out!

In this episode, I reflect on my thoughts and emotions as I step into 2025 and approach the milestone of turning 50.

In this episode, I wrap up the year with thoughts I felt were relevant to this podcast and the year 2024. I also just wanted to take a break from my vacation.

After the usual mix of quotes and randomness, I dive into how I got another "flu shot"—the same kind I first talked about in episode 229: Never No More/Flu Shot.

After my usual mix of quotes and randomness, I explore why the words, “No More White Opinions” deeply resonated and inspired the title of today’s episode.

After the usual mix of quotes and randomness, I share a curious tale about losing $10. Along the way, I explore the connections between a reflective moment in my healing journey, my recent flu shot experience, and a timeless track by Souls of Mischief, “Never No More.” How do they all tie together?
