Talks With Tez

In Part One of this holiday conversation, Tez reflects on how Christmas felt different this year—for himself and for people everywhere. Through humor, honest reflection, and relatable listener stories, the episode explores quieter holidays, shifting traditions, emotional growth, and what truly mattered when the noise faded.

This is a feel-good, grounded conversation about peace, survival, and entering the New Year with intention—without the pressure to become someone new.

Elon’s new robots are out here folding laundry, clocking in for work, and probably flirting in the DMs and the world is panicking. Tez breaks down the quiet anxiety running through corporate America, the rise of AI dating culture, and why deepfakes might ruin somebody’s whole political career by Friday. Plus, real stories: a woman fired by a bot, a freelancer who leveled up using AI, and a whole community trying to keep up. This one’s funny, real, and brutally honest about where the world is heading.

Just a quick check-in from Tez! Normally, a full episode drops every Friday at 9 PM, but your boy is a little too stuffy tonight to give you the quality you deserve. 😅

So here’s the update:

Thanks for being patient and rocking with me. I’ll be back tomorrow with my real voice, real energy, and a fire episode for y’all. 🎙️🔥

In this episode, Tez breaks down the shocking reality behind the government’s SNAP overhaul — from the 186,000 dead people allegedly still receiving benefits to the massive reapplication process that could push millions of living families into crisis.

Sit back, relax, and join the conversation… because it’s happening.

It’s Halloween, and today we’re unmasking the real costumes of friendships with hidden intentions. 👀

What happens when love languages evolve with the times?

In this episode of “Talks With Tez,” I tell a story about how a casual trip to Publix for a cinnamon fry turned into a full-on conversation about modern love. From words of affirmation and quality time to a brand-new contender, Reels. Yep, welcome to the era where people say “I love you” through memes, TikToks, and 30-second videos.

We break down the five original love languages, talk about how each generation expresses love differently, and explore why digital communication has become a love language of its own.

I’ll also share real stories from listeners across the U.S., from Houston to Chicago, on how they’ve learned to hear love in new ways. And at the end of this episode, I’m introducing something special to help you reflect on your own love language journey.

🎙️ If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in love or had someone “flirt” with a SpongeBob GIF… this episode is for you.

Everyone’s chasing the “dream life” the money, the travel, the glow-up.

In this week’s Talks with Tez, we unpack the real difference between living your dream and living in alignment. From corporate climbs that left folks empty, to quiet lives that overflow with peace, Tez dives into what true fulfillment looks and feels like.

Expect humor, honesty, and heartfelt stories from listeners in Atlanta, Chicago, L.A., and Dallas who learned that peace is the real flex.

Tune in if you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I chasing purpose — or perception?”

This week on Talks With Tez, we’re getting real about hookup culture... the stereotypes, the judgment, and the truth hiding under it all.

So many people talk about sex and dating like it’s either sacred or scandalous, but what happens when you realize both can exist in the same story?

In this episode, Tez explores why some people feel shamed for living freely, while others feel lost trying to fit into “relationship culture.” Featuring a hilarious (and lowkey profound) listener story from a 28-year-old who went from anti-hookup preacher’s son to fully embracing his “participant observer” era; this one dives into what it really means to experience people honestly.

🎙️ Expect laughs, real talk, and maybe even a little self-reflection about your own “rules” around intimacy.

This week on Talks With Tez, we’re unpacking how childhood scars can follow us into adulthood, even something as small as running out of paper towels. I’ll share how I turned that scarcity mindset into a lesson on abundance, healing, and freedom. And yes, I touch lightly on the current government shutdown because if they can’t keep the lights on, at least I can keep my pantry stocked. Tune in for laughs, real talk, and a reminder that while your trauma isn’t your fault, your healing is your responsibility.
