Talk 2 Q!

This is episode number 900!  Wow.  It's hard to believe that this show has reached this particular milestone, but it is here.  I want to thank all of you who have been a part of this journey. 

Okay, the title is strong, but you really need to listen to the episode in order to get the context.  It's not a long episode, so it shouldn't take too long for you to get the gist of where I'm going with this.

I won't spoil it here by summarizing everything, but I will say that a lot of you fall into the category of "being a good person" and you have yet to reap the rewards of your efforts.  Some of you may have been taught to act a certain way towards people ever since you were a child and you're still waiting on the pay off.

Well, I'm going to attempt to free you from that mindset.  And I'd appreciate you leaving your feedback in the comments section about how you feel about what I say in this 4 1/2 minute episode of T2Q.  Just remember that I'm not an expert.  I just have opinions.

(Show #529 originally aired in October 2015.)

The only thing worse than a liar is a thief.  But, we encounter more liars than we do thieves on a regular basis.  So, what do you look for to help protect yourself from being caught up in someone's web of lies?

Well, my callers will try to assist you with that as they give their two cents on what to look for and ask to weed out liars.  Joining me in this discussion are Show Legends, Crystal and Buck, and we're also joined by Canadian favorite, Stanley.

I know that some of you ladies get excited when "dudes" are blowing up your inbox, but that usually leads to disappointment.  What you want is a "man" stepping to you in your DM.

But, how can you tell the difference?  Well, I won't spoil this episode by sharing it in the show notes, so listen for yourself.

I asked a podcasting peer of mine, Taroy Jackson of The Thoughts Of An Average Joe Podcast to jump on the soap box with me on this one.  He gives his two cents on the situation, so if you don't believe me then maybe you'll believe him.

Why does it appear that men are on the brink of extinction? 

I'm not talking about "guys" or "dudes". I'm talking about men. "Guys" are buying PS5's, Jordans, and stuff, but aren't paying bills, being homeowners, or taking care of their families. And it's not that I'm against any of those things.  I just have a problem with it when it's done at the expense of family and/or paying bills.

In just my dad's lifetime alone, we've gone from 21-year old young men leaving their households to start prepare a life for a future family to present-day 35-year olds still trying to "find themselves". 

That kind of stuff irks me and we're going to address it and give some man training on this edition of the Talk 2 Q Radio Show.  "No experts.  Just opinions."

Ladies, whether you like it or not, men judge you based on what you post on Facebook.  It may not be fair, but like a lot of things in life, "it is what it is".  

If you really think about it: how many ladies do you personally know who are nothing like what they post?  One?  Two?  Most of the people who say they are not about the drama are absolutely all about the drama.  They post cryptic messages just to get attention.  They post "thirst trap" photos and then get mad when the person they want attention from isn't one of the 10 people who DM them.  They talk about how someone betrayed them and that their circle is small.

What man wants that? (Notice I said "man" and not "dude".  There is a difference.)

I asked my podcaster in crime, Jhae Pfenning of The Hard Parking Podcast to jump on the soap box with me on this one.  He gives his two cents on the situation, so if you don't believe me then maybe you'll believe him.  After all, his radio voice is much better than mine.

Enjoy this classic, Show #424 from December 23, 2014!  Here are the original show notes below:

Liz Priestley is an actor, opera singer, and more!  You name the artform and she has probably already mastered it.  However, she joins the show to talk about her first major movie role.  

Liz stars in the movie Concrete Cowboy.  It's a story about a mother trying to allow her son time to bond with his estranged father and partake in a culture that is very unique to him.  The movie also stars Idris Elba, Caleb McLaughlin, Lorraine Toussaint, and Method Man.  

We talk about what led to her first major role in film and what it was like to be the envy of millions of women out there by playing Idris Elba's wife in the movie.  We had a few technical difficulties during the recording, but we managed to get through it and have a great time in the process!  Liz is a very fun person to speak with and has a contagious laugh!

Sit back and enjoy this Q-on-1 edition of the Talk 2 Q Radio with Liz Priestley and be sure to check out her IMDB page.

Times change and society evolves. Social media has not only changed how we look at other people, but it's changed how people live their lives. Now more than ever, it's important to a lot of people that they are seen. But how does it impact motherhood? 

Don't get me wrong.  No one is saying that it's impossible to do both.  It's just that a lot of moms are not willing to accept the fact that being a parent means that they have to make adjustments in their lifestyles.  Also, they may not recognize the damage they are causing to their kids' development.  

• Are your sons being teased at school because mom posts back shots on Instagram at the clubs?
