    S2 Episode 5:

    Ask A Black Guy was honored to be invited to do another collaboration with one of the best minority police podcasts available today - The Real Minority Report. There was plenty to discuss since the last time we were on, particularly concerning the evolution of policing in such a short period of time and how a black police officer perceives and takes action in light of these changes. But this episode isn’t all cop talk, Slim and Smooth definitely mix it up a little - hopefully we don’t get him in too much trouble! Get caught up and listen right now to The Real Minority Report!

    In this episode we welcome Mike, founder and owner of Galvanized Financial, a company focused on providing entrepreneurial education and financial awareness to the undeserved. Mike brings a ton of financial and investment experience to the table having worked at various financial firms like Vanguard and BNY over the last 25 years managing portfolios worth billions of dollars. He also has his own podcast titled What We Don’t know, where he drops all kinds of financial knowledge for folks to pick up. We had a great time with Mike while we discussed all things finance. He even shared some of his experiences as a black guy navigating a very successful corporate career in the world of finance and investments. Visit his website at www.galvinizedfinancial.com to learn more about his financial services. Listen to his podcast at What We Don't Know.

    S2 Episode 3:

    We welcome another racial guest to AABG, a Chinese dude named Ed. Ed is OTB, (off the boat) from China and came to the US when he 12 years old. We waste no time diving into his background and of course discussing all of the classic Asian stereotypes, from being bad drivers to academic superiors. Ed divulges his experience growing up in both America and China, dating white women, and so much more. There was a ton to talk about and we left no stone unturned, even aliens and UFOs were discussed. There is a lot to be learned in this episode of AABG.

    S2 Episode 2:

    Smooth and I get right into the invasion of our Capitol building which leads into several other Ask A Black Guy topics and questions. Smooth addresses two listener submitted AABG questions which leads into a discussion about how the black culture has shaped and influenced things like language and body image.  Before we wrap up, I express my thoughts about political extremists on either side of the political spectrum and why they are more alike than what most people perceive.

    In the first episode of Season 2, we welcome all our listeners into the new year with a deep dive into Slim’s unhealthy obsession with aliens and UFO’s. We explore Smooth’s experience with night club culture and the continued prevalence of Timberland boots amongst the black community. Smooth attends a wedding where he is the only black guy, and last but not least, Smooth’s 2020 ends with bang.

    Episode 28:

    In this episode we reflect on some positive vibes generated by Episode 27 and our new approach to the show. Slim suggested that we do a Tik Tok shuffle dance to up AABG’s sociaI media game - Smooth becomes irrational. It is Christmas after all, so we talk about Christmas pasts, differences, but more importantly, similarities in how black and white communities celebrate Christmas. Then Smooth drops some Kwanzaa knowledge on us all, but leaves a lot to be desired.

    Episode 27:

    Listeners spoke, and we listened - our content is good, but our quality blows! We voice some pretty harsh criticism concerning the current state of the show and introduce our fresh, much more professional approach to podcasting. We field some listener questions about moonshine and women. Additionally, Slim ambushes Smooth about his potential addiction to sex.

We are really trying to reach as many people as possible to help open a healthy and positive dialogue surrounding race in this country.

    Episode 26:

    Dale is a friend of the show who emailed us after the Election Special with some, shall we say comments. This culminated in us inviting him on the show as a guest, which turned out to be a fantastic move. Smooth and I had a great time talking to Dale and we covered a ton topics ranging from black v. white Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and things you were not allowed to touch in a black household. This is a good episode, but fair warning, our audio was recorded on Zoom, so sound the quality did suffer - COVID struggle is real!
