The Whitebeard and TK Podcast

Welcome back, to the ramblings of a very tired host. I had a pretty sleepless night. I spent this week still recovering from the Missouri trip and jumping right into work. Editing a video, jotting down notes in my New hiking field notebook, trying to book a backcountry campsite but it's closed... So I starting watching adventure documentaries, which got me thinking about today's thought, "Restless...

Welcome back! This week's episode is a few days later than I expected, apparently I needed more time to recover from my trip west and I also had to return to work quickly. So, here we are and here's the ramblings of a weary traveler... Last weekend I drove for 12 hours on an hour and a half of sleep, to Branson, Missouri. I was up watching the show "The Madison" with my daughter...

Welcome back. Today's thought is accompanied by a cup of Egyptian Hibiscus tea and prompted by a conversation with a 90 year old Marine Vet, as I had the honor of safely delivering him to his destination. As a cab driver I get to talk with people from all walks of life. And if I had my wits about me, I would have written down many of the stories I've heard over the past two and a half years. .. Ma...

Over the past few weeks there have been a lot of infighting amongst those in the conservative movement. "America First" wasn't just a Party platform, It was an idea a coalition of Conservatives from different backgrounds to come together and focus on that idea. With the new war in Iran, lines were drawn with some Conservatives not agreeing with the president's move to go to war with Iran. and thos...

A Rant. Well, not my usual rant I used to do on "The Crazy Train" episodes. No, this is, I should be asleep rant lol. Folks, the media has been going bonkers over this upcoming presidential election. And the wars... Ben Shapiro vs Candace Owens... and the celebrities and their emotion filled endorsements. So, since I was laying here looking at "shorts" I decided to on the mic. Buckle up, get comfy...

Welcome back to the show. Have you seen those videos of people who parked their cars and suddenly they start rolling downhill? The ones that leave you in tears and your stomach hurting from laughing. Well... it's not so funny in real life. That's right, it happened to me this week. Thanks to God, I'm able to sit here and tell you about it... In today's show, I'll share the many times I've had clos...

Hi! Welcome back to the show. I'm T. Anthony Bland also known as Whitebeard and yes, I am flying solo again which is actually a good thing. This weeks thoughts came out of necessity. I had been driving everyday without a break. Anyone who drives for a living or takes long road trips or adventure travels, understands how draining the road can be. Fatigue becomes very familiar and the lack of ro...

Welcome back. This week's thoughts focus on our collective mental and emotional state. And perhaps a call for us all to shift our gaze. This past week, I heard some troubling news about men committing suicide. As well as a popular offgrid homesteader, who was attacked in her comment section because she chose to focus on her family and life here, instead of the war in the Middle East. She was respo...

Welcome back. In this week's episode Whitebeard takes to the mic solo once again. His topics are a long time coming. We have talked about many of today's thoughts over the past few weeks. As he was working on today's show Israel was attacked by Hamas and Israel returned fire. However today's show is about a growing concern over the decline of morals and decency in our elected officials. As well as...

Welcome back! Well a lot has happened since I last spoke to you in December of 2022. Because we never really ended the show or the season officially, we'll just called this Season 3 instead of starting Season 4...for now. Soooo this week, Monday, I quit my job. At 60 years old in a new state it might not have been the smartest thing but It needed to happen. I also took a month off from social...

Welcome back everyone. We have been having a hard time filling a prescription for my (WB) diabetes. It's been back ordered for months in some cases. Which makes life extremely difficult. Because of the difficulty finding it, we looked online to see what's going on. We were shocked at the findings! The FDA approved Trulicity and Ozempic to be used as a "weight management" drug, which puts lives at...

Welcome back. The title as silly as it sounds, is not funny at all. I believe that current pop and social culture has lost its way and commonsense with it. For some reason the older generations, like a parent frustrated with a child and decided to let them go there own way; stop talking and giving wisdom to the younger generations. Yes, the younger generations usually don't want to hear anything b...

When was the 1st time you heard that Christianity was the white man's religion and who told you that?... Hello and welcome back to the Whitebeard and TK Podcast, The Crazy Train edition. Today, we review the documentary Uncle Tom 2, talk about the revelations in the film and some misconceptions we've all believed for many years, discuss Queen Elizabeth II death and "camping while black". We can sa...

**Caution: "N" will be said during this episode.  Welcome back to the Crazy Train. No doubt we've all that heard that the 49 year ruling of Roe vs Wade has been overturned and returned back to States. Which if you didn't know, was where it all was in the beginning. However if you listen to most people today, you'd think the sky was falling. Abortion has been around for a few centuries in the...

Welcome back to The Crazy Train and happy humpday! if you managed to make it this far... the week is nearly over. In the past month our fickled media outlets have been all over the place. Likewise too many Americans have followed suit. From screaming in the streets allegiance to satan for abortion rights. To hating on a billionaire for buying Twitter, although a billionaire owned it before. Even w...

Oh, hello. It's a great day to chat about mental health especially since we're coming to the close of mental health awareness month. Did you know that according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), that in "1946—P.L. 79-487, the National Mental Health Act, authorized the Surgeon General to improve the mental health of U.S. citizens through research into the causes, diagnosis, and tre...

Hello! Welcome back to the show! We know it's Wednesday and not Tuesday our usual start day. But life happens to us all. Since it's been a while we decided to come back with a fun show. Today we review HALO the TV Series on Paramount+. A brief history, synopsis, our history with the game and Master Chief's loss of virginity. That's right the stoic hero of the game we all know and love, had a one n...

I was sitting down in pain recovery from a 4 mile hike earlier in the day. Jumped IG for a minute to see Chris Rock getting slap by Will. I immediately searched the internet for more information. Some said it was a hoax... But Rock's reaction proved otherwise. This was in absolute display of insanity on Smith's part. His actions claiming it was for his wife's honor "keep my wife's name out your f*...

Welcome back to the Crazy Train. This episode I return with an absolute insane week in the news. One of the most troubling things for me is, I've spent the last nearly 6 years raising my daughter as a single parent since my wife died. Countless hours retelling stories of her mother to help her grow from teenager to young adult women. Fighting against pop culture. Reminding her how her mom never sa...

Well, get your tickets hop on train and lets find out. All aboard!

Welcome to the crazy train! Nearly a year has gone by and the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has started and ended. The verdict...? Not guilty. It didn't take long before Americans turned on each other and for the case to be labeled "racist". To one side he's a "hero" and a "patriot", to the other he's a murder. Kyle has also been compared with Sandmann because both are young. Well... I have my take on...

Wow! It's been a while since our feet hit the trail. And good golly it felt like it too! Today we catch on the latest hike and some life updates. Want to hear about it? Jump in the backseat and take a ride with us
