You Good Bruh?

This is the second part of the conversation with Joe Dupe regarding why he hasn't married his girlfriend of 4 years. This time we added more guys to the party; Cecil J (not married) and Saxby (married), have joined the conversation and are giving their perspective on marriage and what it has become in today's society. This is a battle of husbands vs. the boyfriends and it is interesting to say the least. 

Research indicates that today's dads are more involved than ever before and it's changing the way kids see the world, and see themselves.

Tiijon talks about how documenting his journey helped him during the time and how good it feels to be able to look back at the process that he's been through.  This is the first time Tiijon has had this conversation since he has been sober.

The guy that comes into the room and makes everyone laugh often times is the one with the most problems, the most anxiety, and sometimes can leave public functions the most depressed. Today we invite John "The Dooger" on our show to explain the ups and downs in regards to what it is like being the funniest guy in the room. John explains how some of his joke and comedy in general comes from a dark place and he also explains how he keeps himself from getting too low. From people laughing at their pain to people not ever knowing when they are being serious sometimes it's tough being that funny guy in the room. 

This is a candid conversation between two friends. Over the course of a 12 year friendship Sam and Lionel have never had the conversation about Lionel's sexuality.

Lionel discusses the impact of his parents accepting him for who he is and the confidence it gave him to be himself.  Lionel also discusses at one point he didn't support the movement for same sex marriage and how his perspective has changed over time. This is a conversation you definitely want to hear. 

Whether we like it or not society or the things that happen in society can have an effect on the way we view ourselves. Some of us are stronger than others and can fend off the messages that society is trying to send. If on October 2, 2019 there was a black man or boy that questioned what his life is worth the answer came through loud and clear with Amber Guyger getting 10 years with the eligibility for parole after 5 for murdering Botham Jean in his own apartment about a year ago.
