Talk 2 Q!

At what point do you label someone a traitor to their own race? Over the past few years, the words "sellout" and "coon" has been thrown around like free candy in social media.  Everywhere you look, you see someone criticizing someone else and hitting them below the belt with one of those terms.  Sometimes the term fits the person like a glove, but other times, it's used as aimlessly as the word "h...

Is the first person that you date after a break up always a fluffer for someone else?  Just a filler to take your mind off of your ex before you start preparing your mind to find your next? On tonight's show, we'll ask the question: can you have a relationship with the rebound? Do we take the wrong approach to the person after the ex and end up missing out on a good thing?  Sure, we just want a di...

Why do so many black controversial shows have such short shelf lives? The Carmichael Show is one of my favorite TV shows. It is a sitcom that features a family of black people who discuss every day topics from "Plan B birth control" to "the N-word". They take the topic of the show, no matter how controversial, and do a masterful job of making the topic hilarious, while exposing the audience to dif...

Who knew that being a nice guy isn't all that?(Tonight won't be the usual Q&A forum that we normally have.  It will be more of a round table discussion which means that I will have more input as a speaker.  There will not be a tweetchat occurring during the show.)Yes, ladies, after years and years of saying "nice guys" unfairly finish last, I now do a 180 degree spin and say that they absolutely e...

The popular series returns to T2Q!It's been since 12/29/15 since the last installment, but Let's Talk About Sex, Vol. XVII is finally here!  We always have a great time discussing the horizontal mambo on this show and this time will be no different. Normally, there's a certain theme to the sex shows, but this time will be a little more open.  This episode will focus not just on improving relations...

Which one of the two most extreme seasons do you prefer? I grew up in Mississippi.  So, I've dealt with the southern sun all of my life.  I've had no problems dealing with 95+ degree temperatures.  I had youth on my side; plus it was the time of the year you saw more skin on the ladies! I've never lived long term in a northern city, but I've dealt with a blizzard or two for a few days.  Winter can...

I have a chat with the author of the book "Safe Haven of Jesus", Mr. Steven Turnwald.  We discuss what inspired him to write the book and why it's so important to him (and for us).You can learn more about Steven and the book on his Facebook page by clicking here. He also has a website that you can follow at www.steventurnwald.com."I dedicate this book to God and the saints living here now and thos...

Is society evolving too fast for morals? So much has changed in society in the last 50 years.  That sounds like a long time, but in the grand scheme of things, it really isn't.  50 years is not even considered a full lifetime.  The fact that my 94 year old grandmother once knew slaves is enough to show that we're not very far removed from this country's origin. But, what once took a century or dec...

Can you teach someone confidence? Raise your hand if you're sure.  How many of us are sure?  How many of us walk through life with the required amount of confident to be successful?  Confidence doesn't come naturally to everyone.  It's something that some people pick up later in life, while others never obtain it.  There are perceived benefits to being confident.  For example: for men, confidence...

Mr. Grimez is back!  He's making his 3rd appearance on T2Q to discuss his newly-released project, Rogue Against Animation!  The project contains 9 tracks, including one all of my listeners should know, Battle Mask.  We will talk about what inspired the project and some of the tracks on it. For those who missed the first two interviews with Mr. Grimez, we'll get into how he got started and he will...

Juneteenth is here and there have been celebrations for it over the past few days.  On tonight's show, we'll take advantage of the black holiday to discuss things going on in the black community.  There's always a reason to raise social awareness among minorities and it's good timing of this particular holiday to give us a mid-year opportunity of reflection. Black people still need to be more invo...

Does it bother you to have people draw assumptions of you? If you read enough social media, then you will think that the average person couldn't care less what a person thinks of them.  Society teaches us that we should only focus on self and not what everyone else may perceive. But, is that smart?  Can it help you or hurt you in the long run?  Is it situational? We'll discuss how it can impact ou...

Does this power play guarantee a quick route to an engagement ring? I read an article about a woman who was sick of waiting on guys to marry her.  She would date a guy and he would string her along for months only to move on elsewhere.  So, she decided that she would no longer be any man's "girlfriend".She came up with the idea that she would continue to date whomever she wanted until one of them...

Every time I hit another milestone, all I can do is shake my head.  How did I get here?  How did something that started as a bucket list item turn into over 1,000 hours of talk radio gold? Reaching my 700th episode is something that I'm definitely proud of.  So, how do I celebrate this particular milestone?  By doing what I normally do.  Having a show with fun, but real topics for my Show Legends...

Things have changed and guys are opting out of marriage...Divorce rates are soaring and more people appear to be shacking up because of it.  But, if you ask the average guy, there's just not a lot of incentive to get married these days.  Especially since marriage appears to only be temporary these days. Why is that?  Why are men deciding that they're completely okay, more than ever, to co-habitate...

Is makeup the end-all, be-all? You see tons of videos on social media about applying makeup or adding new styles of weaves/wigs.  They are both billion dollar industries that have grown significantly over the past decade.  We see everyday women looking like industry models on a regular basis, which is the intent. But, what is the driving force behind it?  Are women doing this to attract men?  Are...

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, right? Serena Williams is pregnant and engaged with her beau, Alexis Ohanian.  He's the co-founder of Reddit, so he's a very successful businessman.  A lot of black men were upset over the notion that she has chosen to have a child with and marry a white man.  When Serena was questioned about it, she said that her fiancee has treated her better tha...

Why do we put up with people with bad attitudes? It seems like a bad attitude is accepted in more places than a Discover card these days.  It may be in our workplace or it could be at a local convenience store.  Attitudes are a dime a dozen.  Why do we put up with it?  On tonight's show, we'll discuss why attitudes lead to bad decisions and how some people hide behind theirs rather than bettering...

A man who loves you doesn't complain about losing his "freedom". Marriage isn't an obligation. A job is. Why are some men so unsure of themselves when it comes to finding a mate?  What makes so many guys so elusive when it comes to sticking to one woman? There are so many variables that apply to the answers to those questions.  Some of the variables are controlled by women and some are controlled...

What makes a good guy go elsewhere? That's a question that quite a few women ask themselves these days. I'm good enough to have babies with. I'm good enough to shack up with. Why aren't I good enough to be Mrs. Insert name here? There are many possibilities as for why some men just leave women dangling for years and years. And we all know that when it comes to relationships, that people can only d...

Colin Kaepernick took a stance against racial equality last season and it appears that it may cost him his job.  A lot of people were upset that he chose not to stand for the National Anthem, instead choosing to kneel.  He said that he wouldn't stand until changes were made, within the police departments across the country, to better treat blacks.  He's changed his stance on that, but has the dama...

It's Women's History Month and that means the Woman's Politico is back, but with a twist!  I will be hosting it for the first time in its existence!  But, the focus will still be on the ladies as I throw out some questions for two special guests! On tonight's show, we'll discuss some of the things that may be holding women back in 2017.  For example:Why do ladies tend to stay in bad relationships?...

What are some of the pros and cons of not being in a relationship? All of your married friends are quick to tell you just how lucky you are to be free.  You don't have anyone to answer to at all.  You get off work and you go home to do whatever it is that you want to do.  Because you are your own man/woman. How does that play out over a month?  A year?  Multiple years? We'll discuss that tonight o...

Scenarios for you to ponder...We are unprepared for a lot of things that occur in the world.  Despite how old a person is, there are just some things that they haven't experienced in life.  When that thing finally pops up, will they be ready for it? Well, here on T2Q, I like to throw out scenarios, now and then, just to see how my Show Legends would respond to them.  Some of them may have actually...

I have the opportunity to have a chat with film maker and author, Isabella "Izzy" Church.  I ask her about how she got started in her career in film and how it all translated into a book.  What’s a bear to do when his friends and neighbors dare to attack his reputation? You see it is most hurtful not to be appreciated,especially when you’re a lovely, charming, gorgeous hunk of a bear. So when Dr....
