  • Chris Sims - The Sports Bar Kingpin (Episode 29)
    Sports.
    The final frontier.
    ...along with hip hop, television, and movies, that is.
    All of the above mentioned topics are ones that I love to discuss.
    And today's company does as well.
    He is one half of the dynamic duo from the SBP - Sports Bar Podcast.
    The other half is yours truly.
    The SBP is our Facebook group and podcast, so I had to bring the homie through and chop it up one time.
    We talked about everything.
    Our show, the untimely passing of Chadwick Boseman, hip hop, our classic movie reviews, his favorite sports teams, his love of the LC Bird Skyhawks, and more.
    Salute.
    My guy...

  • Big Sty - Forever a Problem (Episode 28)
    Have you ever gotten so frustrated in a certain situation that you threw caution to the wind and proverbially pushed all your chips to the center of the table?
    Well in 2004, today's company dropped a record that emodied that ideal and shook up the whole hip hop industry.
    We talked about how his record, "It's a Problem", was created and how the rap world responded to it.
    We also talked about his 804 roots, his time being signed by J Prince and Rap-A-Lot Records, his recent reintroduction to the rap game, and his new project (Shoot Til You Run Outta Neighbors) that is on the way.
    Ladies and Gents - Show respect to those who helped pave the way and gave the 804 some national shine:
    Southside's own...Big Sty.

  • The Coleys - Family Ties (Episode 27)
    This COVID-19 space has been something. 
    For some it has been something in a negative way solely. But for others, aside from the obvious, they have found some positives within these troubling times. 
    Today's company has made the most of this pandemic state. 
    From creating multiple viral videos (via TikTok, Instagram, etc, their vids have been spotlighted by CNN, The Shade Room, BET) as a family to starting a family YouTube channel (We are DA Coleys) to digging deeper into their individual passions and increasing their effect on the world by simply being themselves...but even more "out loud" than ever before. 
    There are 7 members of the crew, but here I am conversing with three of them mainly...with a cameo by a fourth family member. 
    If you don't know them already, here's your chance to meet Kevin, Mika, and Keon: 
    3 members of The Coley family.

  • L.C. Baker - Redefining What Successful Looks Like (Episode 26)
    When I was growing up, it was the norm to play multiple sports. That's just what we did.
    I like to remember myself as being pretty decent at everything at a young age.
    Episode 26's company took multi-sport athlete to great heights.
    This gentleman was recognized at the All-State level in three sports (football, basketball, track)...not just in his Armstrong High School career, but in the same school year; and he did this while maintaining a 4.2 gpa.
    Oh, did I mention he is like 5'7?
    Yep.
    He continued his pursuits of football greatness and higher education throughout college and kept pushing towards the professional sports level.
    We will learn how life changes after the game stops and how one's understanding of success is redefined as adulthood creeps in.
    He also spoke on sports memories, family ideals, education, mental health, learning the real estate game, and much more.
    Ladies and gents: say hello to, arguably, one of the best three sport athletes to ever put it down in the city of Richmond (and he has the numbers to prove it)...
    L.C. Baker.

  • Trek Life - Word...Life (Episode 25)
    The language of hip hop knows no boundaries.   
    And thankfully for this particular purpose, neither does the internet.  
    In my rappity rap rapping days, I linked up with this brother via Myspace.   Yes...Myspace.  
    Although he didn't have to be, he was humble enough to rock alongside me (and L.E.G.A.C.Y. from Hall of Justus) on a song.  
    That internet-created opportunity to meet has allowed for some spirited social media conversations and what I'd like to think is a mutual respect for another solid individual.  
     On this ep, we talked about so much:  
    -his music -his podcast (Rap Sucks Radio) 
    -being a Black man today 
    -ideas for the future 
    -Snoop vs DMX 
    -his "The Family Room" show 
    -Hamilton 
    -our mutual love for the Lakers  ...and more.  Great conversation. 
     All the way from Long Beach, today's company is...Trek Life.  
    Follow him @treklife daggone nearly everywhere.

  • Dr. Michael Torrence - Never Settle (Episode 24)
    This one is special right here, y'all.
    We could have recorded for the whole day and still not touched on all the stories, conversations, fights (yes, fights), all night video game sessions, meals, sporting events as teammates, hard lessons, and all around life moments we've shared/had.
    Do. We left middle school basketball practice for a chance to try out for Nickelodeon's "Double Dare" show one time.
    I mean...we never ACTUALLY got to try out...but we tried.
    He is currently the President of Motlow State Community College in Tennessee and was recently mentioned and quoted in a fire article on Apple.com about one of his mentors. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, slim.
    Today's company is my lifelong partner in crime, Dr. Michael Torrence.

  • Larry Starr - Starr Power (Episode 23)

    Y'all might not know this but...I am a big follower of the WNBA.  

    Forget what you think...those ladies do work!  

    That same appreciation is also shown to women's college hoops and on down to the high school level as well.  

    I'm a coach in my mind. But that's a topic for another day.  

    Today's company really is a high school basketball coach in the 804.  Some might argue that his program is the standard.  

    With his Monacan Lady Chiefs earning four state titles over the last six seasons, it's tough to dispute.  

    Add to that, his program has produced quite a few D1 student-athletes; including the area's first ever WNBA first round draft pick, Megan Walker (UConn/NY Liberty).  

    Coach and I talked hoops, title runs, COVID-19, his visit to the Robert E. Lee monument, and more.  

    So pull up a chair and enjoy episode 23.  

    Welcome to the show, Coach Larry Starr.

  • Yuri Barnes - The Big Man (Episode 22)

    We all do it. 

    Ya know, live our dreams through people we know.  

    And enjoying watching my old high school teammate's success is no exception.  

    Today's company was a high school All-American on the court (and a great student off the court), a super highly sought after talent, and his game took him to the professional level overseas.   

    And now, outside of having his own business, he is sharing his love for music with the world as DJ Why Be? on a few social media platforms.  

    He hit us with a few memories, including some insight on converting to Islam while in Israel.  

    Wow.  

    Respect due to the most coveted basketball player I had the pleasure of lacing up with in school, Yuri Barnes.

  • Mike Street - Street Knowledge (Episode 19)

    Ain't nothing like talking to an 804 born and raised individual who is able to touch the sky without leaving the city.  

    Today's company was able to do just that and more.  The residents of the Cap City have been able to see his grind and rise to greatness up close, as he has been a constant on our radio stations for 25+ years.  

    Currently, he is the program director at 106.5 The Beat...and if you need national recognition and awards as proof, check this out:  

    He is one of only five or so Black people to receive a Marconi Award (awarded to the top radio stations and radio personalities in the United States).  Others include Steve Harvey, Funkmaster Flex, and Ricky Smiley.  

    #TakeThatTakeThatTakeThat 

    Give a warm welcome to...Mike Street.

  • Monsee - Victory Loves Preparation (Ep 17)

    Another Thursday, another quality show from Source & Co.  

    Yep.  

    Today's company is a Northern VA native who moved to the 804 to attend VCU.  

    His vision, intelligence, drive, and quality workmanship has landed him in the right place...at the right time...with the right abilities.  

    Now he is working out of LA as a video director, photographer, videographer, content builder, and more.  

    From Cardi B to Abby Lee, he has been putting in the time to earn the success.  You've seen his work, now meet the man.
