I‘M READY TO TALK NOW

Episode 16 - Your Trauma Could Get You Killed

Crazy used to mean something back in the day. Today, I consider it entitlement and pure laziness. There are people walking around earth still waiting for an apology from the perpetrators of their past. But while they wait ever so 'patiently'?? They get to roam around free on the streets and terrorize strangers they encounter, that had nothing to do with they're trauma. However, we're slowly witnessing people matching that so-called trauma of yours and turning it up to eleven, for the world to see. 

 

 

Episode 15 - This is What Chapter 40 Sounds Like

In this special birthday episode, I'm reflecting on a few things I've done in the last 20 years of living. I also share some stories along the way that changed my life. Cheers to celebrating a whole new era!

Episode 14 - The Day I Met CM Punk

In this episode, I talk about when I met CM Punk, during my once career in broadcast news, some years ago. I came to the conclusion that myself and Punk were needing to step away from the careers we once called home. I hope I don't bore y'all with this one but I need to tell it this way...or I can get on IG live, and cry for ten minutes! Please, allow me to tell y'all a story about the day I met CM Punk.

Episode 13 - My Mental Health Journey (feeling better)

Life has a funny way of showing you the good and bad of oneself. Life also has a funny way of showing you how to recognize your own depression and declining mental health. I most certainly found out the hard way, when I chose not to recognize the warning signs. This episode is about my three years in Chicago, IL, after I felt like I lost the only thing that was keeping me from losing myself in Austin, TX.

Episode 12 - Nature's Mental Eval 101

In this episode, I talk about how I'm feeling about America reopening since the pandemic. I think some measures need to be taken before releasing the human beings back into society (the wild). Am I paranoid or are we going about this the right way? Enjoy the show!

This episode is dedicated to the pillar of strength and guidance, that is my Father, aka Papa Miles. I talk about some of the things pop instilled in me, as a young man. Black Fathers are here.

Episode 10 - The Game is Called Salvos

Segment one, how/why are we still shaming sex workers and strippers? These women have every right to do whatever they want and they're setting up a damn good life for themselves. Segment two, it seems like it's becoming all too normal for those pig faces in Hollywood to continue ignoring the talented and crazy in shape actresses that should be playing SUPER WOMEN. Enjoy the show!

Episode 9 - Healing Process Starts Now

Segment one, Pepé Le Pew has always been problematic but WB chose not to take the creative way of dealing with Pepé. Segment two, there's always been a terrible vibe between men & women. I feel like it's getting increasingly worse. So, I give my thoughts on men & women needing a little break from one another. Enjoy the show!

Episode 8 - The Unhappiest Americans on Earth + Gina Carano

Segment one, I'm trying to figure out why Americans are so unhappy. Segment two, the firing of Gina Carano was so unnecessary and cancel culture could be creating monsters that we now deserve. Much, much more!

Episode 7 - Descendants of Outlaws

Segment one, I discuss how engaging with maskless idiots just to get views on social media, is a bad idea. Segment two, I discuss my theory about the Proud Boys being direct descendants from old school American outlaws. Lastly, segment three, I discuss why the democratic side needs to stay away from those Million MAGA March events. You're messing with stone cold killers.
