Barely Qualified

We are back! After a long hiatus, the podcast is back!Have you ever looked back on something fondly, and you have that overwhelming sense of loss or nostalgia because that person or place is absent? That is what we explore in this episode. My guest Tyler and I discussed some of our prior relationships and how things might have been different or even better. We also discuss dating in general and how things are a little rough out there. InstagramFacebookYoutubeMusic by: Artful DazaArt by: Rika

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These are three unalienable rights granted to us by the Declaration of Independence. However, as a nation, we have been missing the mark on liberty. This week's episode has my good friend Steven Fryson, and we discuss a myriad of topics such as abortion, police shootings, Jaylen Walker, adoption, foster care, and more. There has been an escalating level of frustration with the things we are witnessing, and we just wanted to have a vent session with one another. If you are on board with that or are feeling similar frustrations, have a listen. Send this over if you know someone else who might feel this way. Sometimes it's nice to hear other people may be sharing the same feelings you have. www.facebook.com/barelyqualifiedwww.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified https://www.gunviolencearchive.org

Why do we continue to change the standard of what is considered beautiful as a society? Why do we stay inside toxic friendships/relationships way longer than we need to? How many licks does it take until you get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? We attempt to answer these questions and more inside this week's episode of Barely Qualified!www.facebook.com/barelyqualifiedwww.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

It's another episode of the BQ podcast! In this one, we catch up with Jay and Jacob! It has been over a year and a half since I have spoken to Jay so definitely wanted to spend some time with him to see how he has been coping throughout lockdown and the pandemic we have all been experiencing. This wasn't as much of a perpetual lightning round as we have had previously, just a couple of guys talking through our previous past few months.www.facebook.com/barelyqualifiedwww.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

It has been a long time. We know. We know. I know you might have questions like where have you been for the past few months, and why have you just now decided to put out a new episode. One, watch your tone, and two it's because it's something serious that I feel that we need to discuss. Vaccine hesitancy has been at an all-time high with covid vaccines that were released earlier in the year. Kipp, Steven, and I take this time to discuss our frustrations with individuals who refuse to get the shot. www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified Intro Music thanks to Denitsu!!!

What is grief if not love persevering? A character from a top-rated series that just aired on Disney Plus uttered these words, but no matter who uttered the phrase, these words have continued to stick with me. We all know there is a certain inevitability to this life that we live. Even knowing that this existence will end, we go on day by day pretending that it won't. Our jobs, friends, and even family can be taken for granted. That is why when something like the loss of a parent happens, it suddenly puts life into ultra focus. Trenden Padgett was on this week's episode, and we discussed this very subject, what it was like to lose a parent. We spoke candidly about our experiences with losing someone responsible for our entire existence on this planet. The heartache, the inconsolable moments, all of that, and more is what is in store for you throughout the next hour and forty-eight minutes. A huge thank you again to Trenden for surprising me with this topic, but I am forever grateful to share this conversation with him.www.facebook.com/barelyqualifiedwww.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

This week's episode involves following your passion, facing your fears, non-sponsored gore-induced violence, and two men talking about their beliefs! Scott Warner was on this week's show and shed some light on why he got into acting, why in the era of covid people are still idiots, and shared some awesome information about his weekly podcast (Old Ass Movie Reviews). Scott is a man of many talents as he has written, directed, acted, and produced multiple film projects. In that same vein, we spoke about his work in two recent horror movies and some other projects that he has been working on going into 2021. It was a pleasure to have him on Barely Qualified, and it won't be the last time you hear Scott Warner on BQ!www.facebook.com/barelyqualifiedwww.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified Old Ass Movie Reviews: http://spoti.fi/3rqe1so Scott's IMDB page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6773470/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1Song of Solomon: https://amzn.to/3bkN0kp Backwoods: https://amzn.to/30iWbeL

This week's episode was a lot of fun. Alyssa Harmadi and Kayla Herring stopped by and we had a few drinks and a lot of laughs. The discussion ranged from mental health in the era of covid 19. How we all basically lost an entire year of our lives due to this pandemic. A lot of the discussion hemmed on us speaking candidly about our childhoods, and how things that happened in our childhoods can shape who we are today in society. This is the first part of a multiple-part series so be sure to follow/subscribe to the show so you can hear the next episodes as they are released! www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Here is a bonus bit from the previous conversation that I had with Alysha Johnson! Most of it stems from us talking about eating ass. Yes. You read that correctly. Most of this conversation involves food and eating ass. How we made it to this point... I have no idea. Alas, here we are! Enjoy!www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Sometimes the stars align, and you finally make a thing happened that you have been waiting to happen for a very long time. Alysha Johnson was on the show this week, and I had an excellent time recording the show with her. We touched on topics from loss of loved ones, covid lockdowns, children growing up in isolation, and overall contentedness in life. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but so much was discussed, it wouldn't fit inside of this description! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed providing it for you. If you do enjoy this week's podcast offering, check-in later on this week for a bonus episode where Alysha and I go off the deep end for an additional thirty minutes! It is definitely worth a subscription and or a follow! Check it out!www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

You ever have a conversation with someone, and after the conversation has come to a close, you think back to yourself thinking, "Damn, I wish I would have recorded that conversation." This was one of those moments that I had that thought and pre-emptively hit the record button. Please don't come at me for not asking the individual if it was cool to record. We spoke after it was done, and I was given full permission to post to the episode. Yell at someone else! This week, my cousin Mike and I discussed spirituality and how it relates to your personal journey through life. Religion may or may not play a role in your overall way of thinking in life. We also touch on my journey to a protest that I attended that involved our local abortion clinic. Be warned if this is not a topic you would like to hear about; it is inside this week's episode. Lastly, we round out of the end of the show, speaking about religion as a whole and how the bible came to be. I hope you enjoy this week's episode, and we will see you next week. Remember, life is good and generous. www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Do you think if your significant other is watching porn and masturbating (without you) that it is considered cheating? Do you feel as though the people around you aren't taking the pandemic seriously enough? Have you mysteriously noticed your conditioner missing in your bathroom, but your shampoo remains untouched? No? Fascinating! My guest Nichole Clarke and Jamie Ilano gave their opinions on these topics and a lot more. We even touched on podcast favorite topics of politics and religion! Check it out!www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Sometimes you just need to have a vent session with some friends. In this week's episode, I speak with Charles McCaskill and Kipp Jennings about their 2020 years. How they have coped with the pandemic. Charles shares fascinating insight into what it was like to be on the front lines in a grocery store watching people lose their minds over toilet paper. Kipp speaks on how much insight he gained during this time in quarantine and limited social interaction. There was also a touch of politics involved as per usual with the show and their opinions on how our elected leaders provide us with every little transparency in their day-to-day. Except for AOC. AOC is awesome. All of that and more is inside of this week's episode! www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified Music By: Dalton Wright aka Wandering: https://soundcloud.com/wandering-beats Charles Most Recent Book!

If there is anything that I know for a fact is that the news cycle over the past few weeks has been nothing but insanity. So in an attempt to detox myself from all things newsworthy I phoned up Alyssa Harmadi and Dalton Wright to spend some time away from the nonsense that is our day-to-day news cycle. We discussed our favorite music artsists that we are currently listening to, whether or not Dalton is over the age of 35, and why Alyssa will always be wrong when it comes to not being a fan of Hamilton. We also got into the overall meaning of life and is there an overall purpose to any of this? If we do have a purpose in this life, then what is it? How do we find it? Is it something we are born with? Does it come in a vision or a nightmare that we have to interpret for ourselves? Who knows?! We certainly don't. But that doesn't stop us from trying to figure it!www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Inside of this week's episode, I speak with my friends Jacob Pierce and Steven Fryson about the recent presidential election. We discuss how insane the past week has been on the lead up to election day, how there has been so much inflammatory rhetoric being used to place doubt in the results of the election, and how covid has still upended our normal lives and has cast more strain to our mental health during these trying times. Mostly consisting of rants, this episode is a return to form for the show and being one of the first ones that we have done since the last podcast launched back in May after the killing of George Floyd. So join us in knocking out some of the dust and cleaning up the cobb webs. We are back and proud to bring you weekly episodes of our shenanigans. I may have been drunk when recording the intro and outro.... oh well! www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

This is the first time we have ever put video to our Barely Qualified podcast. Unfortunately, I recorded it in a format that isn't easy to edit, and when it is reformated I lose visual and audio fidelity. With that being said this episode is full of frustration and anger while we try to navigate our feelings in this current climate of being black men in America. We discuss stories from our past interactions with the police and how there is a daily reminder that we have to be careful of our actions, or we could end up being another victim. Spend some time with us. Listen. Its been too long since we have been heard.Barely Qualified: https://open.spotify.com/show/2YDWZrqfeLwBeOxV1jlmw0www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Fears over the pandemic, religious extremism, and defining what makes The South, the south, is all inside of this week's episode of Barely Qualified. Political science major and overall badass Alyssa Harmadi, shared her views on the south and a general lack of openmindedness that seems to be prevalent in the region. She shared her views on her personal religious beliefs and what terrifies her about the current pandemic that we find ourselves surrounded in. www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

This weeks episode is a continuation of The Monkey Bread Monologues with Kerry, Kipp and Larry returning for the second half of the episode. We discuss random Applebees hate coming from some rap artists as well as our perspective takes in porn. We had to make a correction for a presumption of a local DJ hosts ethnicity, since in the age of Google, why would we ever verify anything. Finally we rap up with our love languages and the groups perspectives on what happens after we pass from this mortal coil. All and that and more inside of this weeks episode. Also be sure to check out Hot Boy Casey's soundcloud and show him some love and support for his music!www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified https://soundcloud.com/hotboycasey/tracks

Here is another time to where more than ever I just decide to rant. It has been a few weeks since we have placed out an episode and I wanted to share the state of where the show is, the state of where our country is, and to provide my most feeble attempt of hope in these unscertain times.

An awesome episode this week with three friends of mine Larry, Kerry, and Kipp. No this is not the black version of the three stooges, but they are hilarious gentlemen nonetheless. In this first part of the two-part series we talk a lot about relationship duties, and responsibilities. What is considered an inordinate amount of sexual desire? How many licks does it take until you get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? And we end on politics. Which is poly meaning many, and tics meaning blood sucking vermen. There is genuine laughter and hilarity along the way and again this is part one of a two part silly series.

Sometimes you meet people in life who genuinely intrigue you, and those individuals have such a fascinating story to tell that you can't wait to hear it. The person that was on this week's podcast is one of those individuals, and that is Shayne Adams. Shayne's life has been somewhat tumultuous from his upbringing and his family life, to a motorcycle crash that has changed the whole course of his life. Being able to share in his life challenges and his life outlook was an honor, and I hope you all enjoy listening to his words as much as I enjoyed his presence recording this episode.www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

This week I was fortunate enough to speak with Jay Boren about his life and was able to unearth a lot of fascinating things about him. He shared his thoughts on the Superbowl half time show, his views on marriage and relationships. He even shared his upbringing and what actually brought him to where he is now and the drive that he has always had to achieve something more. His insight and opinion were awesome to hear, and I hope we hear much more from him in the future.www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

This is the first episode we ever recorded. It was before there was a Barely Qualified and the show was called Ph.D. Radio. We aren't doctors, but the first few letters of our names would make up (PH)ilip and (D)eshani. It was recorded in 2015 when we bought our first microphone and just wanted to make a podcast. We had a few alcoholic beverages and just started talking about the news. One mic, horrible levels, genuine levels of amazingness, and insight.www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Sometimes you are fortunate enough to get a whole perspective on life, religion, child development, and so much more. When you have that moment, they are rarely recorded, and you are unable able to revisit them. Fortunately, we have the technology, and such a perspective was captured by my friend Jacob Pierce. Jacob has a unique perspective on life, his spirituality and his general outlook on how he treats people on a day to day basis. Upbringing is what shapes children into who they are going to become. In this instance, his unique perspective shines a light into a path that most of us have not taken.

Welcome to the first episode of 2020 for Barely Qualified!

He hits on love and how sometimes it just has to go and find you and how you cannot be on a search for love. Raymond talks about how to be true to yourself, and that is the best that you can do. Ray and I also discuss the appropriate times if you are a nonperson of color to use the N-word. (Spoiler alert. There isn't one.)

Sometimes you meet people who can formulate words or thoughts in such a way that it is utterly captivating. Even though you aren't consciously waiting for them to speak, your subconscious can't get enough of what they are saying. This week's episode embodies that premise. Charles McCaskill is a poet, a writer, self published author, and one hundred percent authentically himself. He takes us on a journey through his past and what has led him to be so active in the poetry scene and his community at large. He shares insights into his communities history and takes us on a chilling overview of the Equal Justice Initiative's memorial in Montgomery, Alabama.Equal Justice Memorial: https://museumandmemorial.eji.org/ In Weekly Article: http://inweekly.net/wordpress/?p=35909 The Kennedy Blog Post: https://www.facebook.com/notes/charles-mccaskill/the-problem-with-the-kennedy-bar/10157118950736865/ Links to his poetry: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/camccaskill2?fbclid=IwAR3x-j1cMCFLCFkp0TWMR1N-0qjiMpHGR255WeupofAjQgfHR0YjQIO7fBg www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified
