In this, the first episode of 2012, I kick things off with a foray back into Prince’s no butt jeans, music that I love to sing, and Usher’s backup job in the 90′s. I then touch on a myriad of topics. Really, I just went completely off script and started talking. I know that reviews of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and Columbiana were involved, as well as why Zoe Saldana should be Catwoman instead of Anne Hathaway. In the last 30 minutes, I give shout-outs to everyone who I was truly able to interact with in podcasting and on Twitter, and I get serious in a discussion about Childish Gambino, being a follower, and what happens when your opinion doesn’t mesh with other people on Twitter. I end out the show by discussing a situation that occurred between myself and Rod from The Black Guy Who Tips, and extend an olive branch.

Funny show! You were goin in from beginning to end!
- The singing at the beginning had me crackin up.
- You were dead on about Usher being a DJ in nearly every movie he has been in.
- The Eartha Kitt jokes were funny too. Especially your dads response to hearing her classic line in Boomerang.
- I can respect what you had to say about Tim Tebow. I like that you just stuck to the facts and didn’t try to chastise him ‘just because’. It seems like that’s the approach many people have taken when it comes to him. Some people don’t like him and can’t even explain why. When you keep things in the football realm it’s easier to understand why some people dislike him. He isn’t your typical quarterback…by a long stretch. Many people believe he was awarded the starting position due to popularity…which is true. Also, as a ‘quarterback’ he is lacking in a number of ways. There is no denying that. It’s just refreshing to hear an honest take on Tim Tebow without all the unnecessary and unfounded hate.
- Listening to your son say he wants to be a power ranger made me think about my cousin. It’s funny when you take the time out to talk to children. They have such a fresh outlook on life. Some adults need to embrace that type of enjoyment for just living. It can do a lot to improve a person way of life. Nothing like genuinely being happy.
- I truly appreciate the kind things you had to say about my podcast. It means a lot. The fact that you took the time out to listen, leave a rating and discuss your thoughts on the discussion with me meant a lot. I’m all about interaction. The way I see it, that’s the only way to have an interesting discussion. I want the discussions on my show to go beyond the podcast and it means a lot when it does.
- Thanks for sharing some other interesting podcast with me too. I’ll have to check them out.
