Black On Both Sides Episode #147 For all of you that just knew your student loan debt would be forgiven...Not So Fast. There are a few GOP states that wish to have a word with you. Joe Biden is pulling money back from the coffers of state...and they want their money back. Otherwise, it is a slow news week when Lizzo and her flute playing get attention.

Black On Both Sides Episode #146 Kunta likes it when I am nerdy so we discuss House of Dragons right out of the gate. It may the only nerdy thing in which we have common ground. I don't like Marvel and he doesn't like computers. But we both love those dragons! Meanwhile Kunta becomes part of the West Coast officially. Snoop makes breakfasts better. Where in the world is Tela? Want some Nyquil chicken? Has anyone seen an Aries Spears stand-up? Is it okay to cheat on Nia Long? We all like fast food. We all like the value of fast food. How would you feel about spending 15 dollars on that combo meal? Well, it may be coming to a California fast food restaurant soon. Unionizing is in the works and it won't be long before it reaches every blue state in America.

Black On Both Sides Episode #145 Kunta finally found something that we can be nerds together on. House of Dragons is already looking like it will be a success. I may like the show, but I didn't read the books. Kunta makes sure to let me know that this show is back in sync with the "source material". Either way, you have to check out this show if you like good stories. Shaq is a flat earther, FN AI gets dropped, And Ginuwine finds his way back into the world. Kunta would rather celebrate his new friend AB. He wants us to incorporate the Put That S*** On dance into our show celbrations.

Black On Both Sides Episode #144 Kunta spent a whole lot of money (not the AB song) on his kid's birthday week. Since when did birthday week become a thing for kids too? I know that black women celebrate for a month. But kids get a day and a day only. Not at the Kunta house. So parties, Disneyland, and Medieval Times took money from him. Do you think he was happy to come back to podcasting after our short break? Of course he was...Let off some of that steam. We didn't get too serious on this episode. However, we did find time to talk about how broke the congregation is. It is obvious y'all are broke based on how you honor me. I'm not worth your McDonalds money? I'm not worth your Gucci money? I wanted a Movado a year ago and you broke ninjas still ain't got me no Movado!!!

Black On Both Sides Episode #143 Kunta took a visit of the new Tupac museum in LA.From what he is saying this is a definite place to visit if you ever make it to LA. Contrary to most people's belief, I am a Tupac fan when it comes to culture and impact. Just imagine what Pac had in store for us had he survived his twenties. Sadly, you have to exit through the gift shop. Leave your wallet in the car. RICO comes to visit a new gang of Atlanta rappers. Everyone knows, you don't beat the RICO. A draft was leaked stating that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade. States will get the right to choose how they handle abortions. Kunta feels like this is already sewn up. I believe that we should support our justices or burn the whole thing down. If there is no objectivity left in the halls...The halls must go! How often does the Supreme Court overturn a decision???

Black On Both Sides Episode #142 I am fresh off of a Jamaican vacation. Kunta's favorite getaway is Jamaica, but I didn't get the same vibes. On this trip I had an epiphany of all inclusive resorts. Kunta spent the weekend inebriate adjacent and still managed to pull off a headache. He defeated this with his Sunday brunch of items that would normally contribute to a heart attack all on their own being grouped together in a Frankenstein' Burger. Justice Brown was accepted and is most likely the most qualified justice of all time. This didn't sway the Republicans from not supporting her. One after one they spoke of her greatness and qualifications just before they mentioned that they would not be supporting her. Reminds me of that job interview where they tell you that you are too qualified.

Black On Both Sides Episode #141 Who goes to Golden Corral? I know someone. It may or may not be the other half of this show. At least they aren't in a burger beef like Arby's is. For that matter, who goes to Arby's Yuck and Yuck. The NCAA doesn't care about naturally born women as evidenced by them crowning a swimming champion 1st place in a recent swim meet. This person was born a man and placed in the low 400s. Then transitioned to a woman and is smashing records.Please tell me you don't agree with this? What about my daughter? What about your daughters? The Ukrainian invasion barrels on and now a few Russian generals have been killed. This did not slow the attacks and the atrocities continue. So Joe goes on record as saying that Putin has to go. Wait, what? Can you say that publicly about a super power president and not reap any consequences? Joe clearly doesn't speak for us all.

Black On Both Sides Episode #140 We are rounding out Black History Month with a very important question. Who is the most successful African Americans of all time. Obama, Denzel, Oprah, Bob Johnson are among the candidates. But there may be someone you are forgetting about. Russia has invaded the Ukraine. How does this season geo-politics? A young person may not really think it has much effect on the world. Older people fully remember the cold war and how far reaching the Soviet Boogeyman was. Are we headed into the preliminary stages of the next world war or is this just a geo-political penis measuring competition?

Black On Both Sides Episode #138 Kunta has done the unthinkable. He has put down his breaded chicken favorite for the plant based Beyond Chicken. Not really because who in the world that would eat a fried meat would care that it is meat? No one. My advice is that you have to enjoy some things in life and chicken should be one of them. I almost forgot it was Black History Month. and we need to celebrate by shouting out someone who starred in one of the greatest black movies of all time...The Color Purple. Whoopi got no support from her people when she made a statement that the powers that be deemed inappropriate. Which is it? Believe all women or I'm rooting for everybody black? Neither I guess. Is her career over? Finally there is talk in the NFL of games being thrown to the price of 100k per game. Brian Flores is using this outrage to propel his agenda to get more people of color into leadership jobs. The good old boys in the front offices are not happy. But maybe this is the fix the NFL needs. The Flores Fix #BOBS138 Support the show by paying your laugh tax or becoming a  premium subscriber HERE Get Show merch here: MERCH

Black On Both Sides Episode #137 Kunta needed a “Me” day and decided to take it on the southwest side of LA. Compton, Crenshaw, Little Ethiopia, etc. The Marathon Store was looking more like a swap meet, so he decided to get some soul food. Nothing like some Turkey and Mac ‘n’ Cheese to reset the soul. Kunta is well on his way to being a better version of himself. You can even hear it in his voice. His self help books and new wake-up regimen has show results. Kunta wants to let the world know. I, on the other hand, do not subscribe to letting the gurus in to my brain to assist in my “Self” improvement. Self-help is for nothing if you don’t come prepared to finish the race. There may not be everything you need along the way. If all else fails, stick to the motto “Always bring your own juice”.

Black On Both Sides Episode #136 Kunta changes his name for this episode to MetaKunta. He is all in for the Metaverse and wants me to come along. I think I will wait to change my name until I can turn it into a NFT. That being said, what preparations are you making to turn your life into a virtual one? There has been a lot of talk about living virtually as it will be better. But what if it isn’t better? Are you willing to live in a matrix version of your current stressful life?

Black On Both Sides Episode #135 Thanksgiving has passed and Kunta went to someone else’s house for the event. Where was the mac n cheese? I also went to an in-law’s house and Kunta is offended for them that I didn’t eat. I do not eat at other people’s houses. Please don’t be offended. And please do still invite me. I want to be there and break bread with you and your family. However, I don’t want to eat the bread. Kunta reports back on his 5 am Club findings. Is this arbitrary number really responsible for the titans of business? Can you force yourself to get up at 5 am everyday? Kyle Rittnehouse getting off with no charges had Black America on edge that the Arbery trial was not going to go the way of justice. Much to everyone’s surprise the defendants were convicted on all counts. The country takes a loud and intentional exhale. Whether or not you are part of the crypto gang doesn’t mean that crypto isn’t happening all around you. If you have not invested a penny into crypto, you aren’t alone. It does, however, mean that you are behind when it comes to what will inevitably be the future of money. Maybe Bitcoin is not the future. But something like Bitcoin will be. NFTs, Blockchain, Crypto currency all need to be a part of your vocabulary.

Black On Both Sides Episode #134 Kunta takes his opportunity to drag me over the Cowboys v Falcons matchup. True fans do not bail on their team when they are in the dumps. Atlanta fans have gotten used to the inconsistencies of our teams. So there will be no bailing. But let's all think back to when "Them Boys" were not so good and Kunta didn't even want to say their names on this podcast. Kunta is on a journey to find daily balance. He plans to wake up early and sort his day before most of us are even considering hitting snooze. How do you feel about all of the VIPs of the world having a strict up at 5 am method to life? Is this what is necessary to become highly successful? Two trials are currently in session. The Arbury murder trial and the Rittnehouse trial. I believe these are both open and shut cases and it shouldn't require much to end them. Kunta disagrees. I have been missing all of the coverage due to tuning out most of the news, but it seems as though we are going to need to address this on a future show. I can't remember a time when two high level trials were going on at the same time.

Black On Both Sides Episode #133 This week’s episode was short by BOBS standards. When you hear the Milwaukee Bucks, do you think of Big Black Bucks? Kunta does. In fact, he agrees that the recent World Champion Atlanta Braves are wrongfully using a derogatory word as their team name. The SJWs have successfully convinced The Washington Football Team to have no name at all. Hopefully this country will soon atone for its sins and we can move on to a happy cohesive healthy get-along community. Do we care that Will Smith is playing Venus and Serena’s dad in a movie?

Black On Both Sides Episode #132 How many of you know Superman’s motto? I certainly don’t. But leave it to our resident comic book junkie to tell us that Life, Justice, and America…or something like that is the motto. Well, all of that is changing. Why? Because we have convinced ourselves that America is evil. We need to exorcise our demons and beg for forgiveness. You see it as a simple modification to a comic book motto. I see it as the end of the fabric upon which we stand. Maybe Condi Rice can push back the hoard with some white apologist talk.

Black On Both Sides Episode #131 The Bi in the new Superman is not short for Bionic. As this enrages some comic book fans, not everyone agrees that this is an issue. Remember, that not so long ago, the culture wasn’t ready for a black Spiderman or even a black Storm Trooper. In an age of inclusion and diversity, is it a problem that our kids will grow up with gay super heroes? Or is all of this a non-issue? If you are a fan of Superman comics, are you willing to adjust your beliefs? If not, are you willing to give Superman up altogether?

Black On Both Sides Episode #130 Kunta learns of a man that has his nether channels mixed up. Pee comes out the back and poop comes out the front. If you are as confused as I am, you are at least in a company of two. Apparently, a fistula between his rectum and his penis causes the juices to flow from wherever they choose. Lil Nas X wants back in the closet and I knew it would happen. I can’t blame him considering he is arguably the biggest rapper of current time. Kunta admits that his kids love Lil Nas and that he knows and supports Billy Ray’s lyrics on Old Town Road. R Kelly is going to be behind bars for a long time. We both agree that it is about time. However, there are detractors and Bill Cosby is one of them. Kunta wants to give Ja Rule his flowers and apologize for the way he was ousted from the culture. We compare his hits to 50 cent’s hits. Can you guess who has more? Kunta goes on a rant about why he supported the new Marvel movie. I will probably not see it, but Kunta recommends if only to show that Asian stereotypes are very far from how Asian people really are. Kunta’s old pastor succumbed to Covid recently. RIP. The issue he has is that his pastor was not vaccinated nor masked. This is normal as there are many people who do not trust the vaccination for Covid. The issue here is that his pastor most likely didn’t get the vaccine for fear of microchips. No matter where you line up when it comes to the Covid vaccine, fearing a microchip puts you on the fringe of it all.

Black On Both Sides Episode #129 Both Kanye’s and Drake’s albums have been released. I am assuming you have had time to get through them. I didn’t. actually. I listened to Donda, but CLB only got half a listen. Which album is AOY? Or do either of them qualify? We all know K.Dot is gearing up for a release. Do either of them stand a chance? Kunta finally comes to the realization that the legend of Aaliyah is mostly just a legend. I do not say that lightly, but I do say it in jest. You would have to be a member of the old Slack room to fully understand. We battled more than once about how important her voice was to R&B. Either way, he revisited some of the recently re-released albums and has a new take. Neon Deion is bringing attention to HBCUs by being head coach of Jackson State. We look forward to seeing his rise as a coach. If nothing else, we appreciate his commitment to attempting to put HBCU sports on the map. Black Lives Matter is a distant echo in the halls of last summer. Finally some form of justice begins for a couple of the victims of brutality on black people. Abortion after 6 weeks is no longer a thing in the state of Texas. This includes rape victims. We actually agree on how awful this one is. However, there is a caveat. And we need to get granular. 42 Days Of Choice #BOBS129 Support the show by paying your laugh tax or becoming a  premium subscriber HERE Get Show merch here: MERCH

Black On Both Sides Episode #128 OnlyFans reneges on their promise to clean up the internet of all things sex-worker. Kunta loves that I was wrong abut that. I guess when you are right so much of the time, proving me wrong feels like a celebration. Either way, congratulations to the culture for letting big-tech know that we need our porn. Kanye finally releases his project but couldn't manage to do it without publicity stunt after publicity stunt. Did he want it released? Are Kim and him getting back together? Did he want to cancel DaBaby? Are those songs distorted? Has that 4-bar loop been playing for 11 minutes straight? Is he off his meds? Who is more impactful as the soundtracks of our lives....Michael Jackson or R. Kelly? Both have had issues with minors. Both got hits on hits. Who are you riding with? More deaths in Afghanistan. Meanwhile Joe is sleeping at the wheel. No seriously. he fell asleep at the wheel. Why didn't someone hit him on his celly? Was he also asleep when he thought it would be a good idea to have the Taliban in charge of evacuation security detail.
