The Whitebeard and TK Podcast

Hi! Welcome back to the show. I'm T. Anthony Bland also known as Whitebeard and yes, I am flying solo again which is actually a good thing. This weeks thoughts came out of necessity. I had been driving everyday without a break. Anyone who drives for a living or takes long road trips or adventure travels, understands how draining the road can be. Fatigue becomes very familiar and the lack of routine becomes a thing of the past. Without proper sleep and the absence of my daily exercise, I started to crash. So I planned a weekend getaway to simply rest... yeah, it didn't go as planned.

I planned the weekend because I recognized the signs. Our current culture pushes us all to work more, longer hours, everyday, multitask, fill empty space and time with something. It calls us to drown the silence with noise and activities. Then we wonder why we're constantly "on edge". This cycle causes health, married and even financial issues. There was study conducted and the results were... people would rather have electric over sitting quietly with their own thoughts. There is a reason why God rested from his work, called for and ordained a "day of rest" for our frail human minds and bodies. And that, dear listener, is the focus of today's thought. Get comfortable and let's talk.

Welcome back! Well a lot has happened since I last spoke to you in December of 2022. Because we never really ended the show or the season officially, we'll just called this Season 3 instead of starting Season 4...for now. Soooo this week, Monday, I quit my job. At 60 years old in a new state it might not have been the smartest thing but It needed to happen. I also took a month off from social media as always and came back to a geriatric poop show in the world of politics. Are you ready for the return? Get your coffee, tea, wine, beer or lemonade and let's talk. It's been a while, I've forgotten how to do this...

Welcome back everyone. We have been having a hard time filling a prescription for my (WB) diabetes. It's been back ordered for months in some cases. Which makes life extremely difficult. Because of the difficulty finding it, we looked online to see what's going on. We were shocked at the findings! The FDA approved Trulicity and Ozempic to be used as a "weight management" drug, which puts lives at risk. Not only do we discuss that, but we have finally moved out of NYC. Are you ready...? Let's talk.
