Talk 2 Q!

The Poet Warrior is back on T2Q!It's been a year, but he's back!  Mr. Grimez, reppin' the UK, returns to the show to discuss the new phase to his talents.  He's added music to his spoken word and has a new project in the works.  We discuss what's going on in the spoken word scene overseas and how he's changed his approach and his appearance!  We'll also get into his preparation before a performanc...

We are born into this world as selfish beings.  A baby wants to do what they want when they want.  They will cry when they can't have their way.  Over time, they are taught to appreciate and love those who have their best interest at heart.  Until society teaches them otherwise. Is making a relationship work as difficult as most people make it out to be?  It's two people who love being together mo...

Give your answer to some of the craziest, real life relationship questions! Tonight, I give my Show Legends (and those brave enough to call) 10 questions of some common and some weird relationship scenarios. A lot of us find ourselves having to make decisions that could change our relationships for the better or for the worst. Just how much thought do we take in making some of these decisions? I a...

Do you know some of the things you should not do when seeking a divorce? We've discussed how to make relationships and marriages work here on T2Q, but I'm not sure if we've looked at things from the other side.  The divorce side.  So much goes into leaving a marriage.  In fact, it's actually more than getting into a marriage.  Finances are usually the main concern, especially for the men.  We alwa...

How can a book change the way you look at the world? On this podcast, I have a 1-on-1 discussion with blogger and author, Jamell Crouthers.  We discuss a few things on the show, but mostly about his view of the world and how he hopes to influence change.  His book, The World We Live In: A Poetry Book on Societal Issues, looks to do just that! Available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other loca...

Why do we give cheaters 2nd and 3rd chances? Last week, we discussed why there are so many cheaters in society these days.  Why so many men and women choose to have their cakes and eat it, too.  Cheaters are cowards who want to be able to have stability at home while they flirt with potential upgrades.  Some have no intention of ever upgrading at all. What makes a person so bold as to risk their r...

Do you realize just how many people cheat these days? If you sat down and thought really hard about it, then how many happy couples do you actually know?  One?  Two?  Three, if you really thought long enough?  I know a lot of people, but I don't know too many happy couples.  Of course, the definition of "happy" varies from person-to-person.  Some people deal with liars, cheaters, and abusers, but...

Some things should be kept under wraps...No one is perfect.  We all have some things about our past that we wish we could change (some much worse than others).  But when we approach new relationships, we (hope to) do so with a clean slate.  It's all about the new and not the old, right? However, are there certain things that your new boo should know before things get a little too serious?  Maybe t...

"Mizgin Demircan is a Swedish music artist that is making her debut here in the United States with her sexy, fierce music and intoxicating voice, best known for her single “Get U Off”.She is turning heads and rocking stages, boasting raw, enthusiastic energy and an eclectic sound." Her style is sure to take the United States by storm and I'm sure we'll see her video playing non-stop. Tonight, I'll...

It's that time of the year again! Back to school It's that time of the year again when parents scramble to get their kids situated for school. Not only do they have to go through the headache of registration, but they also have to get school clothes and supplies. Are parents under pressure to get their kids brand name items?  Are they trying to help their children avoid the "WHAT ARE THOSE?" chant...

Dems in PhillyThe Democratic National Convention has started and the smoke blowing has begun.  Another week of politicians spouting off about their candidate being the most qualified, blah, blah, blah.  Although I do watch these, I do get tired of the rhetoric some times.  The cable "news" stations ask some of the dumbest questions.  What do you get personally get out of these conventions?  Do you...

Politics, police, and Pokémon on tonight's show...PoliticsThe Republican National Convention is going on in Cleveland this week.  What will be the focus of Donald Trump?  A lot of members of the GOP have decided to sit this one out and not show for the RNC.  I guess they don't want to be attached to The Donald if he fails miserably. How can a man who hasn't even won over his own party possibly win...

So, a couple of more unarmed black men are approached for something petty and ultimately gunned down at the hands of cops.  For some reason, people think that if you're pro-black that you're anti-white or anti-cop.  That's just stupid.  Just because you want to stop breast cancer doesn't mean that you're all for cervical cancer. The media and the police department need to be reprogrammed on how to...

Fire Jesse? That's what some of the people are screaming.  After Jesse Williams tore into America with his must-see speech last week on the BET Awards, he's received high praise.  But, of course we all know how the media works in America: first we build you up, then we tear you down. A group of people have petitioned to have Jesse Williams fired from his role on "Grey's Anatomy" because they think...

"I have lived a life that's beyond 28," Mabry said.  "The average 28 year old hasn't lived close to how much I've been through."Growing up without a model for mainstream success, Tommie Mabry turned to crime and the street for his examples of living.  He was expelled from multiple schools before the age of 12.  He was getting his first tattoos and serving jail time by the age of 12. How did he go...

In Austin, TX, a valedictorian made a stunning admission that has rubbed very many people the wrong way.  Mayte Lara, a 17 year old, 4.5 GPA student with a free ride to Univ. of Texas, revealed that she's undocumented in a tweet.  She said that she did so to show that you can succeed regardless of barriers, but now people are up in arms over the situation. She has since deleted her Twitter account...

This weekend, there was another mass shooting in the U.S.  Orlando was hit hard twice this weekend by shooters.  Voice singer, Christina Grimmie, was shot in killed in Orlando by what some describe as a deranged fan.  And the biggest news of the weekend was some idiot, who will remain nameless, who shot up a nightclub and killed 50 people. What will be the end result of this?  Absolutely nothing....

The father of a Stanford University swimmer, who was sentence only 6 months for sexual assault, said that he thought that his son's prison sentence was too harsh.  20 year old Brock Turner was convicted of 3 felonies after "Pill Cosby-ing" a woman, yet only got 2 months a piece for them,  How do you feel about the judge's decision on the sentence and the dad's comments after the trial? How do you...

Zoo animal attacksWithin the past couple of weeks, there have been two incidents involving zoo animals.  A man attempted to commit suicide by jumping in a lion enclosure.  A 3 year old child fell into a gorilla enclosure.  Both resulted in animals being killed.  Did the zoo take the best course of action of resolving both incidents.  Was there something else they could have done to save both peopl...

It's show #601 and T2Q is celebrating the number that represents the primary area code of Mississippi! Most people celebrate milestone numbers like 100, 250, 500, etc.  But, I do things differently here on T2Q.  Last Wednesday was Show #600 and although that's a nice, round number, it's show #601 that will get all of the love.  Why? Because 601 is the primary area code of Jackson, Mississippi, my...

Justin BieberThe Biebs said that he's done sucking up the fans.  No more taking photos with them just because he feels obligated to give back to the fans.  Is it fair or foul for him to give the fans "the hand" and walk away when a photo is requested?  Do fans have unrealistic expectations of the celebs they love? Divorce billIn Mississippi, there are plenty of legal reasons to get a divorce: biga...

Lauryn Hill showed up late for a performance in Atlanta because, get this, she was "aligning her energy with the time."  The Grammy winning artist has developed a reputation for showing up late for her shows.  Should the fans know better and not complain of her tardiness?  Does she owe the fans a discount for making them sit around and wonder if she's going to show? Dwyane Wade is one of the most...

Melissa Harris-Perry initially boycotted her own show on MSNBC over what she deemed as mistreatment.  She thought that it was ironic that her show was always preempted for presidential coverage, but preemption never occurred with her white counterparts.  (She later denied that her boycott was over racial reasons.)Today, she's being replaced by another black woman.  A black woman who essentially ca...

Many great musical artists have come and gone in my life, but this one feels different.  I enjoyed Luther.  I adored Whitney.  I was awed by Michael.  But none of them delivered art to my senses like Prince.  Not just music, but fashion, color, acting, and dancing.  Prince was a multi-tooled performer and to think that his talents are gone forever is such a shame. This is a man who spent almost 40...

On this special Q-on-1 edition of T2Q, I have a 1-on-1 discussion with the Founder/CEO of a new technology called AlerSense. What is AlerSense, you ask?  It's a product that can help save lives from the many people on this planet that suffer from COPD.What is COPD, you ask? Well, listen to the podcast and you'll get all of that in the first few minutes.  AlerSense is revolutionary and has the pote...
