Washed Gods

Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. Episode 72. S/O William “Refrigerator” Perry. “Mo Pods… Mo Problems…” This week with “The Gods” we kept it short & to the point. *Full disclosure… we did a pod right before this so we didn’t recap our week. “Two tears in a bucket.”*

 We talked about the silent war on media that’s being waged behind the third wall of sport-casting. The Rachel Nichols/Maria Taylor controversy was the launch point for the dialogue. Be prepared for racially motivated takes.

We jumped into the minimum wage debate. No real answers here. Shit rolls down hill. This is one of those topics that needs to be fixed from the top down. 

Last but not least. D-Block & Dipset announced that they’d be going head to head in a Versuz. We held our own “Washed Gods: Versuz”! It was AMAZING.  Made us finally get excited about a Versuz. We’ll probably do another one of these if the stars align. 

No Washed Moments this week. Blame the mind not the heart. What we’ve been watching & listening to rounded out the pod. Thank you to all the Gods & Goddesses that have been rocking with us. Like. Subscribe. Share. STAY BLACK.

What up Gods & Goddesses? We’re back. Your friendly neighborhood Washed Gods. We’ve been bringing you quality content for close to 100 episodes now. Just us. All bars. No hooks. But as we learn & grow, we’ve started sitting down with the people around us that motivate us to operate at a higher level of efficiency. Enter our next guest, the one, the only, Sean Fahie.

We’ve known Sean in passing for some years now. As an artist, writer, entrepreneur, and “Rennissance Man”. But we’ve never had the pleasure of asking him how he acquired all these hats metaphorically speaking. 

We talked about how he came to love art. What made him choose this particular medium (visual arts/graphic design) over his other talents or career choices?

How he feels about the Atlanta arts scene & his peers? And how he’s branched off in ways that make him unique in the art world. 

He came with a lot of game & a lot of laughs. We enjoyed this pod way too much. And didn’t even even get to all the questions we had for him. He’ll definitely be back for another episode. If you’re an independent artist looking for a inspirational story about overcoming obstacles. This is your pod. Like. Subscribe. Share. Stay Black. 

Oh yeas… Washed. Never Washed Up.

Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. It feels good to be back *Draft Voice*! It’s been a long week. Sean recent left his job and is in the process of getting ready for another one. Draft has been structuring his free time so he feels less stagnant. Hence the up tick in podcasts lately. Both of us have been fighting our inner bitch with our secular endeavors.

Zaila Avant-Garde made it to our news cycle and we talked about that for a second. She’s a 14 year old African American spelling bee champion. The first to accomplish this feat. Impressive on its own. She’s also an avid hooper. Displaying drills of her dribbling 3 basketballs. Some of which where she’s riding a unicycle. She’s a real bucket & we support her wholeheartedly.

The NYPD is reforming the way they collect & store DNA information. Apparently you don’t have to be convicted of a crime to have you DNA collected & stored for an undisclosed amount of time. This isn’t an accusation of foul play, but it IS something that should be looked at when it comes to implicating suspects in crimes where DNA evidence is the main means of conviction. If you can plant drugs, you could plant DNA. And we all know NYPD has a history of corruption.

Haiti is now under martial law. Their president Jovenel Moise was murdered. His wife was shot & is recovering in a South Florida hospital. We talked about some of the conspiracy theories. American involvement. Etc.

Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. We’re back with another pod. We sat down with our friend Rikki Blu. We sat down and talked about his newest release “6 Rings”. Rikki’s been around is for years. We’ve made music together but we’ve never really sat down and talked about his roots. Why he started making music? What allows him to keep going when things are difficult? A bunch of there cool stuff. Listen to 6 Ring with Rikki Blu x OffKey. Like. Subscribe. Share. Stay Black.  

Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. Back like we never left. Another week in the books & the Gods have been busy. Sean has been contemplating employment options. Draft has been doing the same. Both are as enthused about it as you could imagine. Topics this week were right in the pocket. We started off talking about Jay-Z’s lawsuit against Jonathan Mannion & Dame Dash. This is the feud that never ends. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

Draft’s Top Tweets has made it back into the rotation. One of our favorite continuing topics.

What we’ve been watching & listening to of course.

Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. We’re back. With a guest. Shout out Brian (@Skots55) our friend & family. He owns a boutique & sneaker store in Chattanooga, TN. He sat in with us as our first official guest to catch up & chop it up as a fellow “Washed God”. Taji made his return to the pod. Happy to have him back. Draft spent his week “not complaining”. Sean is still navigating through the troubled waters of his work environment. All & all we’re all well. The city of Atlanta has been wild’n lately. Two shootings in the same week. One at Lenox mall. The other off Candler rd. Atlanta’s crime rate has to be at an all time high. Speaking of “Heights”. The movie “The Heights” is under fire for it’s representation of a certain type of Latin-X people. I.E. Light-skinned & curly haired. How you all feel? Because none of us are watching it. Destiny’s Child is on the hot seat for their song “Cater To You” 17 years after it’s release. The opinion of the day is that the song encourages negative stereotypes about black women. We touched on Clarissa Shields making the transition from Boxing to MMA. And the larger conversation about the future of celebrity fight sports.

What we watched/listened to this week. Washed Moments. “All the World’s Ills…”

Washed Gods. Washed. Never Washed Up. Episode 64. We’ve been doing things. Sean’s been ducking the nonsense in the me work place. Taji wasn’t feeling well this past week. He’ll be back soon. Draft’s been… being Draft. Reflecting on life. All it’s highs, lows, & In between’s. We spent a good amount of time talking about the “War Of Art”. How difficult it is to entertain and be transparent with people on such a regular basis. We talked about Donald Trump’s Facebook ban & what this means for the political climate on social media. The NFL is back into the news cycle due to their practice of “Race Norming” and what it means for black football players. And last but not least, Dr. Fauci is under scrutiny after the leak of confidential emails/documents about the origins of the Covid-19 virus, the details of the vaccine’s effectiveness, and people who may have been incentivized to juke the states. It’s touchy, but we fondled some of the facts. With consent of course. We talked the Hawks & NBA playoff activities. Floyd Mayweather fought one of them Paul Bros. Meh. Boxing is in a weird place.
