America’s had a rough couple of weeks, and the division of two sides isn’t helping it heal any better.

The Strange Squad brings up points from both of those sides and tries to make sense of the Las Vegas shooting and NFL kneeling debates. Don’t worry, it’s not all serious because we catch you up with exciting guests to come and talk Halloween, the worst dreams, and McDonald’s Schezwan sauce.

This is the 20th episode of Strange Flavors, brought to you by Alif Theory.

What is life like as a known YouTuber and is it a sustainable way to make a career? On a very special episode of Strange Flavors, we sit down with LABIB YASIR from the Fine Brothers’ REACT series. He talks to us about how he got on the show, growing up in California and the Hollywood dream, his weight loss journey of 110 pounds in 6 months, his exciting MMA career, and much more. We also discuss the upcoming “brown renaissance” and what role people like us can play in it. We recorded this in his hotel room in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania where Labib was sent over for a production from LA.

“Lonzo” - Farosty

https://soundcloud.com/Farosty/Lonzo

When you travel to so many different countries on missionary trips, you never know what you’ll get told. Our guest this week, LAEL TURNER, is a “Christian” rapper and artist who has had accumulated many different experiences from the places he has lived and traveled to. We have an insightful conversation about traditional rappers versus modern rappers, what it means to be a Christian rapper without being labeled as one, and bringing millennial issues to light.

The Strange Squad’s got Dani back so of course we talk about things that make us uncomfortable. We also talk electronic festivals, extreme challenges, and birthdays.

This is the 15th episode of Strange Flavors, brought to you by Alif Theory.

What’s it like to be a gay black man in America? Our guest this week, YEMI EKUNDAYO (his real name is much MUCH longer), talks to us about his experience along with the clashes from his Nigerian background. Yemi has a huge fascination with reading people, their signs and birth determinations so if you’re into that, you’ll love him. We also discover his royal roots and get back to the Batman being gay conversation.

The Strange Squad is joined by Neha and Camy this show since Dani and Rashard couldn’t be with us. We talk about Columbia, Colin Kaepernick, and robots taking over the army…you know the norm.

To help bring out our inner nerds, this week’s guest, ASIM ZAKAI aka DJANGO FETT comes on as a superhero/Star Wars enthusiast and film critic on YouTube.

How do you prepare for the day of mayhem with zombies running around and the power grid totally wiped out? Our guest this week, MATT TENNYSON gives you the best tip to live and survive on your own - being self sufficient. Matt explains why it is important to know how to live “off the grid” and be environmentally conscious for both self and community benefits. He often gets called a fascist, a communist, and/or a hippie for his way of thinking and desire to live life, but it doesn’t stop Matt from doing things like growing his own garden where he picks his own fruits and vegetables, or making documentary films as a journalist to promote the idea of permaculture. The Strange Squad also talks about the death of Linkin Park lead singer, Chester Bennington, what Texas is like, working at minimum wage jobs, and this generation’s version of flirting. This is the 12th episode of Strange Flavors, brought to you by Alif Theory.

If you’ve seen the movie “Get Out,” you’re on the same page as us when we were skeptical of bringing on this week’s guest, GRAHAM PHILLIPS. Graham is a hypnotist who does works on improving people’s lives through hypnotherapy as well as performing at comedy shows where yes, he makes male audience members feel as if they are going through labor among many other things. Faras actually gets hypnotized prior to recording and we all talk about the experience and if it was like being put in “the sunken place.” We also hit all the stereotypical questions like whether the government is controlling our minds, evil hypnotists, and manipulating your date. Graham takes us through the benefits of hypnotherapy and the 4 greatest fears in life. The Strange Squad discusses getting back from trips to Firefly, Iceland, and Ocean City as well as debating if LeBron James should be considered the GOAT now. This is the 11th episode of Strange Flavors, brought to you by Alif Theory.
