    Episode 0144: A Happy Medium: Is There Really Life After Death ☀️

    Episode 0144: A Happy Medium: Is There Really Life After Death ☀️

    For centuries mankind has had to deal with one of the number one questions on mankind's mind. It's really a part of a trivial process from the time of our birth. Because essentially from the time we take our first breath there is an expiration date connected to the time that we will take our last here on Earth. Different cultures and religi I'mons have handled the ideology of death wildly different.. some cultures chose to mummify their dead. Others have chosen to burn them to ashes. Sam has sent their dead off until the deep parts of the ocean never to return. Whatever the cultural or religious representation when it comes down to death there's one thing all religions and all cultures have in common in regards to death. Everyone on this planet alive today which is roughly 7 billion people in 125 years roughly 99.99% will not be here. That's a tough pill to swallow and it's hard to imagine 7 billion people gone and disappeared in a blink of an eye. So is there life after death?  we'll talk about it more in a second.

    Let's Take Em To Church


    This past Saturday night a  soul has gone on  to another realm of existence within the authority for which God has designed for it to move into. My grandfather Hollis right is absent from his body so I can only imagine that he's present with the Lord. My grandfather was a me no soul and a lot of cases. But he came from the old school and as I talked to him and built their relationship with him I realize more and more that he was all bark and no bite. He loved his kids and grandkids dearly taught me a lot of things about history. I enjoyed some of those quote unquote fireside chats talking about the way things were when he lived in a time of good food good eats and a black man making it and working hard was a thing to truly be proud of. My grandmother died a couple years ago and in both cases they lived well beyond a 70 years promise to them. And although my grandfather was truly ready to go in the past couple months of his life as the throat cancer ate up his lungs and also ate into his spirit. The thought of him dying at an old age still didn't take the sting of death and the unanswered question. What will life after death be for him. Will he bring flowers and sunshine to my grandmother that saying welcome home welcome home my sweet baby. What a dance to the moonlight in a celestial stars and find themselves in love again. Will he even recognize my grandmother as she's more than likely transformed him to her youthful self I'm sure he would. What would life be for him after death? What are you sing in the choir and play the tambourine? I don't think so he didn't do it here on Earth. But I guess most poetically and the thing that matters most will God say “well done my good and faithful servant in you I am well pleased.”

    Episode: 0143: What Happened To The Artist Known As Uncle Reece

    Episode: 0143: What Happened To The Artist Known As Uncle Reece

    Intro: this past couple of weeks well really that has 2 weeks I probably listen to Uncle Reece's album Bold backwards and forwards probably total maybe 10 times. Not realizing that this summer Marks the 10th anniversary of a hit making gospel stellar award-winning album. I can remember the day like yesterday sitting at his mother and father's home in Jacksonville,FL with our mutual friend Demetrius. His  single “until I pass out” was getting radio play all over the gospel radio stations of the day and even secular stations as well as it was building up at minimum as the artist known as Uncle Reece was to place of his mark on a new era of gospel music.

    Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…


     It all started in a little town of Tallahassee Florida yep home of the Rattlers and the Florida State Seminoles. Me myself Uncle Reece Demetrius, Antareo and a few other brothers got together in Reese’home his two bedroom apartment at a time to talk about the love of God to worship and discuss things that pertained to young black men in our walk with Christ. It was a fascinating thing for me all of us were in our twenties and a young black male growing up in a foster care system and being adopted I had a lot of things that I personally did not want to share. But this small group of young black men full of the love of God gave me reason to share those things to be healed of some, while others are still struggling with to this day. Ask Maurice Hicks let these particular small group sessions really church at home I always saw him being as charismatic individual high energy high leadership and definitely anointed. His worship was for real. 


     Uncle Reece tried out a few songs at a few churches local churches of course in Tallahassee and us his fellow brothers in arms with him to quite a bit of those churches. So we're talking about circa 2010-2011 Maybe at this time this is probably about 2 years before he blew up. And boy did he have the religious folks on his backs. Literally there was churches that bought his albums just to stump on them because they said that it was devil's music LOL. Mind you the whole time he was talking about Jesus but because they didn't understand neither did a conceptualize that you can rap to a beat about God they scorned him from the church. But I believe there was in that moment going to those churches with Maurice that he saw me as a true faithful brother something that I didn't really think that much of. I mean at the end of the day I'm I'm a Leo so most of us Leo's a loyal people. But he always talked about the one moment that I stood at that door asking requested I never moved kind of like when you think of when God commands an angel to stay in post and not to move until he commands. You know there is truth when the Bible says that to be done on having it it is on Earth. Either way that was a moment that Maurice saw me as not just a brother but someone he could depend on as he moved forward we're trying to get anybody to play his songs around town and beyond.

    Episode: 0142: Nick Saban Enjoyed Making Millions, He Retired When NIL Allowed His Players To Make M’S Too 🤔

    Episode: 0142: Nick Saban Enjoyed Making Millions, He Retired When NIL Allowed His Players To Make M’S Too 🤔

    Intro:  Nick Saban was a god to many at the University of Alabama. And to some he still is granted Nick Saban is a great coach matter of fact in excellent coach. He's won a ton of championships, help many of his players get drafted in the league and move on to big and greater things. But one of Nick saban's biggest players as a coach is the fact that he was an anti-player coach when NIL came around. For those that don't know what nil stands for it stands for name image likeness. Nick Saban was all for himself getting the bag. Would have there and half their paydays from the University of Alabama which by the way is a publicly funded University so essentially taxpayers in the state of Alabama what pain Nick saban's exorbitant salary. But what happens when a god, loses his grip on power?

    Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…


     I said this last year one of my YouTube shorts when it came down to Nick Saban and I'll say it again this guy is anti n i l name is likeness. But I can't really fault Nick Saban as the coach you really have to go back to the American system of doing things when it comes down to profiting off of the cheapest labor that you can find and making the greatest book off of those individuals I.e capitalism. Capitalism is at its core definition to capitalize on someone else's atrocities. And or having less than to make it sound prettier. It's the same reason why a company would pay a worker 10 to $12 an hour while they rake in $115 off that same worker or more of course. Nick Saban is no different. He and his team recruited players from all hoods mostly the black hoods that were impoverished that lived off of a pipe dream that one day they'll make the NFL. And granted a lot of his players did make the NFL but unfortunately only 1% of his players will have a career in NFL past 2 years. Don't believe me Google it and it's not just in Alabama thing it's overall in sports especially football. 




    Nick Saban was the most anti-nil coach there was out there. She preached from the mountain tops how much she hate it the new deals that the NCAA allowed to be to be orchestrated. By the way just put yourself in the shoes of these players if somebody makes a video game put your image in there put your name in there put your likeness in there wouldn't you want to be compensated for it. By the way I believe this new deal that NCAA did with football by EA sports is a travesty they're paying the players $600 and give them a free game like what kind of BS payment is that. But I digress cuz a lot of you say hold it wasn't even paying them at all I did the math it came out to a whopping I believe 36 million dollar investment by EA sports they'll make that 36 million back within the first month of them releasing a new version of NCAA sports games.
