Guys of the Round Table is a podcast that tries to speak on current events with a fair and objective point of view. Here we try to abstain from the "hot take" narrative that everyone goes after. We don't try to demean anyone or their beliefs. Here we try to understand the underlying issues of ideals and try to figure out a solution to them (if there is one). We will talk about anything from sports, politics, relationships, family, religion and a host of other topics. Bottom line, we try to k ...

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence! A beautiful quote from our gangsta buddy Gin Rummy of the Boondocks. What does this quote mean? Well, for today's podcast, it takes on the meaning of whatever we perceive to be the reality, may not be the reality we perceive. In other words, we don't necessarily see reality for what it really …

"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." A fitting quote for today's society. People go viral for with the best of intentions and as the fame lingers, so does the chance for these individuals to become "exposed". Once exposed, slowly we see these individuals become villainous by happenstance. Let's be hon…

Influencers, content creators, Instagrammers, and TikTok'ers are all going to extremes lengths to produce and distribute content. Often times, it's at the detriment of other people. Or worst yet, at the exploitation of serious and life altering situations. I'm not a fan of any of that. While I understand the need to monetize on content, I feel that…

So, we gonna go through this again, huh? Have we learned nothing from the toilet paper fiasco? No? Alright then. Carry on I suppose, cuz y'all are looking ridiculous trying to carry gasoline in a plastic bag. Just so you know, gasoline doesn't run out. We have copious (a lot) amounts coming from overseas. Not to mention our own oil reserves we have…

It's really interesting to watch the media create and perpetuate beef with one another. You have Fox News calling out news anchors from MSNBC, you have YouTube political commentators calling out each other left and right, yet, we sit here and gobble it all up. People fall for the political drama and even go as far as to defend these TV personalitie…

There's a pattern on YouTube about relationship advice and how we talk about relationships. I still stress that we are mere juveniles when it comes to the dating world, and I'm proven right constantly when I scroll through YouTube. In any case, there seems to be this disgruntled argument that men ain't sh*t and woman ain't sh*t. If we drop the B.S …

With the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin, I've noticed that some people celebrated, and some people thought it was the wrong decision. Regardless of where you land on the spectrum, I've noticed a very disturbing pattern if you will. I've noticed that we as human beings, have some how lost our humanity. With all of the police killings, bombings, mas…

In another episode of, "we ain't mature in relationships", we will talk about Instagram Models and Only Fans. Can we really date these type of individuals who partake in these social media platforms? Are they worthy of marriage? Let's discuss. As always, your feedback is always welcomed. Hit me up on Facebook: Guys Of The Round Table, Instagram: @g…

The world is full of negativity. I think it is time that we start to infuse as much positive vibes as we can. I'm rooting for everyone who is out there chasing their dreams and making good things happen. With all this political, conspiratorial, battle of ideologies going around, we need to start thinking about our fellow man and help them get to wh…

Recently there's been a string of examples of what toxic relationships look like. We had the Derrick Jaxn cheating scandal. We had the Quavo and Saweetie elevator incident. There was Married At First Sight examples, where couples exhibited an ample amount of selfishness in their relationships. Then there's Flightreact, who was livestreaming when hi…

In light of the whole Derrick Jaxn drama, hopefully people are becoming more aware about how corny relationship guru's are. They don't give good advice and they only pander to what you want to hear. That's not giving advice at all. If you want some truth and some real advice, listen to Kevin Samuels. That brotha is handing out the solid advice left…

Man, it seems like conservatives are always on their high horse. They seem to have crown themselves the moral authority of American society. But there is some serious hypocrisy that plague them. Always wanting to tell people how to live, how to act, and how to behave, yet do none of what they say. Don't get me wrong liberals and democrats have thei…

I know. I know. Another episode about cancel culture? Yes! Because this is my podcast and I do as I please.

I've always been a proponent of critical thinking. And I've come to find that it's more than just asking questions. It's the reasoning behind those questions that helps us to understand not only ourselves, but other subject matters. Thinking critically gives us the ability to decipher whether someone is feeding us a bunch of bull-jive, or is actual…

Last week we talked about reconciling with your past and how it's important to your overall growth. Today's episode, we talk about the road to redemption.

Lately, I've been thinking about my past. I've thought about how every decision has lead me to where I am today. I've thought about all the mistakes I've made, the people I have wronged, and the indecisions I haven't made.

I assume we've all heard the sayings, "Money can't buy happiness', "Money can't solve all your problems", "Money don't grow on trees", well apparently they do! And in fact, I think money does solve all our problems, it does buy happiness, and having it is so much better than not having it. Sure, we can make arguments that true happiness lies in the…

Ever wonder why so many people give crappy advice about relationships? I definitely have and I've come to the conclusion, is that most of the people giving advice are jaded. At some point in their lives, they've been scorned by a significant other and they harbor that resentment when giving advice to others. I'm not a huge fan of that. So, in this …

Growing up, most of us loved going to our cousin's house. That's where a lot of your childhood memories are made. We laughed, we cried, got into fights, laughed, played, picked on each other, a simpler time. As we grow up though, we find ourselves growing distant. We stop going over as much, we stop calling as much, we've pretty much been reduced t…

I this episode, I talk about the idea that the first amendment is under siege. I have come across a lot of conservatives (a good majority of which are my friends) talking about how the 1st amendment is under attack by big tech.

Last episode I talked about people being outraged about the wrong things. This episode we build on the last episode and try to point the finger where it actually belongs. See, 2020 is supposed to be hindsight, where we learn from our past mistakes. I don't think we are doing that. In fact, we keep doing the same things over and over. I know there's…

Most of us wants to have a better life. Most of us, for the most part, want to be better human beings. How we go about achieving that goal is almost always up to the individual. However you get there, just remember, the main reason in doing so is for personal growth. It's important that we grow as human beings, otherwise, we become stagnant in life…

Lately I've been thinking about why some folks seem to be selfish in their actions. I didn't want to get the lazy answer of, "oh their just assholes".

Then I remembered what my mom always said to me, "never…

It is day one thousand, eleven hundred sumthing, from last Tuesday's election. The votes haven't been fully tallied, but it is clear that Joe Biden is President elect.

It's 2020 and a lot has happened this year. A pandemic (plandemic to some), a Presidential election, millions of unemployed Americans, A President who is claiming a lot of false narratives, and a fan base who seems ready to accept any crazy notion he throws out here. This year has been one hell of a ride so far! But if we really look at 2020, we st…

As you might've heard (or not) Kanye West made an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast. I was totally ecstatic, cuz I'm a huge Kanye fan.

After hearing the …

I'll be honest, I find it quite unfortunate, that we have a political system that was created "for the people, by the people", yet sit back and watch the very people they represent suffer. The rich get richer, while the poor gets screwed. Yet, we are told, if we vote for these individuals, they will "fix" the problem within our country. We vote. Th…

I've noticed that within our society, we've began to place more and more importance on status, power, money, and other material things rather than family, friends, and kinship. I believe this has led us down a misfortune path as a society, as we do not care for our fellow neighbors like we used to. It's all about "me and mines" and chasing that pap…

We can all agree that after watching the Presidential debates and Vice Presidential debates, politics is nothing more than drama. A bad TV drama at that.

Long story short, I had entered a competition that was hosted by iHeartRadio titled, "The Next Greatest Podcast". Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the semifinals and I was really bummed about that.

In today's episode, I talk about fear and how media uses fear to keep us in a perpetual state of anguish and anxiety. I also talk about a possible solution, is to simply turn off your TV or phone and go talk to your neighbors. You will find that life isn't all that bad and for the most part, people just want to be understood and feel as if they bel…

I'm sure you've heard several people on Facebook and Twitter talking about how they are going to boycott the NFL or how they want to cancel Netflix. Though I fully support your right to boycott such things, I find your cause to be flawed. It's a weird internal struggle to be honest. On one hand, boycotts have lead to a lot of positive changes throu…

I was listening to The Roommates YouTube channel where the host, Hafeez Baku, was talking about never dating a woman that doesn't want to date you.

For the most part, I agreed with Hafeez, as dating someone who doesn't wa…

Whenever there is a hot social issue that takes place, our athletes are at the forefront fighting that battle. Unfortunately, they almost always told, "shut up and dribble". Here's the thing, if our athletes aren't allowed to give voice to the voiceless, then who will? Because, let's be honest, the average black man, will almost always be silenced …

A couple of weeks ago, Ben Shapiro posted his daily upload to YouTube in which he claims that empathy has no place in government. I like many others found this statement to be outlandish and so I took off to record my response to his statement. Luckily, I did not post my original audio. Instead, I took some time to actually think about his statemen…

Joe Biden finally reveals who he has chosen as his Vice President nominee and quite frankly, I'm not a fan. Of all the available female V.P candidates he could've chosen, he went with Kamala Harris?

I think we've all heard this line before, "I don't want no politics in my sports" and quite frankly, that line drives me absolutely nuts.

I don't mind listening to conservatives speak about their beliefs on certain issues or how the US should be governed. Public discord is a healthy thing and should be practiced.

Is it me or does it seem that every election year, there is some kind of drama heading into November? I couldn't help but shake this thought as it popped up in my head.

I learned a new pyschological idea called the Dunning-Kruger Effect and it pretty much states that we are just average people that think highly or lowly of our capabilities. It dawned on me that a lot of folks don't realize this and I'd like to talk about this in the most simplistic way possible. Enjoy. Join Robinhood with my link and we'll both ge…

It has come to my surprise that there are a couple of TedTalks out there trying to "normalize" pedophilia. Nah fam, that can't happen. In today's episode I try to discuss this in a civilized manner. Ultimately, we cannot let this type of behavior become "normalized". The trauma it causes, the cyclical nature of it all, and it's predatory nature sho…

In today's episode, we talk about the effects of indoctrination and implicit bias. We all are in one way or another indoctrinated in a train of thought that we don't want to give any grounds on.

With the climate that we are facing today, a pandemic, high unemployment rates, political banter, one would think that the issue of race would take a back seat right? Wrong.
