Talk 2 Q!

No theme song.  No introduction.  Just me and a guest with something to say.  The Dave Chappelle "8:46" special on YouTube was one of the better videos I've seen in quite some time.  I think that he did a great job of hitting so many points about the George Floyd murder and racism in America.I wanted to have a conversation about the show and racism in America, so I chose a white guy to join me.  White people SHOULD NOT feel guilty for being white.  I only hold the ones who don't listen accountable for some of the inequality experienced in this country by minorities.I have someone on this podcast who does believe that "black lives matter".  I'll ask him why he agrees with that.  He lives in upstate New York and he firmly believes that some changes need to be made in society to truly bring about equality.This won't be an interview, but instead, a conversation.  I'll also give my personal opinion on things in this podcast from a black perspective.I hope that this podcast is well-received by those who need to hear it and I would love for you to share this as often as you can across social media platforms.Show #802www.Talk2Q.com

What started as a one-hitter-quitter bucket list item has turned into 800 podcast episodes.  Never in my wildest imagination did I think that I would hit 8 yet alone 800.  Since 2011, I have amased over 2,000 hours of content and I still have gas in the tank for more!  And I'm thankful for each and every one of you who contributed by participating or just listening to my show.On this show, we're going to be discussing friendship.  What's real and what's not?  So many of us throw around the word "friend" very loosely.  We seem to think that almost everyone is our friend until we find ourselves in a situation that makes us feel betrayed.  That's when we realize that that person really wasn't our friend in the first place.  We'll get into that on this episode!the Talk 2 Q Radio Show!  "No experts.  Just opinions."Show #800www.Talk2Q.com

No theme song.  No introduction.  No callers.  Just me with something to say.Those who have listened to the Talk 2 Q Radio Show over the past decade know that I don't always give my opinions on the show.  I choose just to be a moderator and allow others to voice their perspectives.  That's why I named the show, "Talk 2 Q" instead of "Listen to Q".But, I had to get some things off of my chest, so I recorded something.  There's no format to this podcast.  It's just me discussing my opinion about the recent events that have occurred in this country regarding black people who were slain.  Every week, there's a new story about a black man shot.  It's not always a police shooting.  Sometimes citizens shoot black people, too.I feel so badly for those who have this happen to a family member unjustly.  I don't even care if the person is innocent or guilty.  They are allowed their day in court.  At that point, let the jury decide his or her fate.  Don't let someone make that decision it on the street.Anyway, I'll just let you listen and I hope that you feel compelled to provide feedback on this.  By no means am I coming down on white people in this podcast because all white people aren't racist.  But I am pointing out those who appear to be contributing to the problem moreso than helping resolve it.  As you can see, black people are struggling to fix it.  We try peacefully and get our heads cracked.  We get rowdy and get our heads cracked.So, how do we confront racism?  Show #798www.Talk2Q.com

On this podcast, I welcome on relationship coach, Rick Soetebier, to discuss the difficulties in modern dating.  Relationships have been complicated today by technology giving the illusion of there being plenty of options out there.  Has this shortened the patience levels of a lot of people who choose not to fight for their current relationship?  If you think that there's someone better that's just a DM away, then will that make you less likely to stay with someone who has disappointed you in the moment?We also discuss people who carry baggage from previous relationships and how to avoid dating from "a position of weakness" which results in repeated bad decisions.Rick will talk about what he can offer a potential client who is serious about dating for keeps on this Q-on-1 podcast on T2Q.You can get more information and / or contact Rick here.Click the link to get his, "Dating Backward: A Practical Guide To Dating And Finding Your Soul Mate".Show #796www.Talk2Q.com

(Show #703 originally aired June 17, 2017)On this TBT edition, I pulled a snippet of a show that was called, "Do You Care What People Think Of You?".  It was a show that discussed if people cared about how society perceived them.  Is there no such thing of being ashamed of your actions these days?However, the show took a turn when Crystal brought up how people once perceived her as someone who "talked white".  Is abstaining from Ebonics or broken English a form of cultural assimilation in whiteness?  Crystal and Dr. Willis have a serious disagreement about the topic.What do you think?  Feel free to leave feedback below.Crystal, Buck, Dr. Willis, and M&M get into "talking white and curse words" on Throwback Thursday!Check out this classic clip of the Talk 2 Q Radio Show!
