OETKB

We wanted to get together and discuss the beauty of life. A moment to reflect on those we lost and how fragile this life really is. It's very important to give people their roses now... And "Love Yourz"

As men... We want sex. It's the goal. It's actually a plus if she has a nice personality and if she has things going for herself... SUGAR ON TOP. Of course, this is a "joke". But with intentions being so abstract in the beginning, how do we navigate the first encounters with a woman. And what judgement comes with it, if any. Basically, how soon is too soon. We need answers! Tune in. #oetkb

This week we sat down with our sisters from "The Socialites" podcast and things immediately took a turn for the worst... Not only did we forget to name the show... Our initial idea of the show was alot more "sophisticated" but turned into an impromptu "sexual exposé"... Grab your pen and pad... You might learn something. From how to approach a woman, to better hygiene during oral fun. Shame on us. We went there... Tune In and Turn Up. #OETKB

How do you define success? Does it come at the cost of happiness? Unfortunately we are conditioned to chase achievements, sacrificing peace of mind in the process. This week we speak our piece, with the help of a always welcomed woman's perceptive. We try to avoid a shot clock violation, and get Des out in time to get back to his wife... who is tired of our shit. But we love her!!! Tune In. Turn it up!!! OETKB.

Black culture is one of the  most influential forces in the world. Ironically it seems everyone can profit from our lifestyle but us... From language and lingo to fashion and fads we are the taste makers of it all. Why can't we cash in?

"Friend" may be the most over used word in society. Friendship is loaded and unique. Simple yet complex. Because the scale is so broad... Often times we miscategorize our relationships. What's is a true friend? And how do they impact our thoughts, behaviors, and actions. The influence of the company we keep is powerful. How mindful of this are we? Pay attention. Tune In.

We've discussed what it means to be a man on previous episodes. But today we dive deeper in the waters most males are extremely uncomfortable with; tears. This week's conversation has us travel down memory lane as we discuss some of our run ins with being emotionally overwhelmed. Tune It. OETKB.

We came together and recapped everybody's favorite time of the year... The holidays. We break em down and go into the pros and cons of it all. Tune in. 

After a long night of filming for a separate project we managed to pull together a show. We had a conversation about the double standards we see everyday... even recognizing the ones we subscribe to. We've come to the realization, sometimes it's okay to be different.

We wanted to talk about the allure of temptations and wondering is the grass greener; but most of us are in serious relationships and quickly bitched out. But not all temptation has to do with remaining faithful, it can be managing impulsive decisions and keeping "post nut clarity" at all times. As usual more comes up. Enjoy the rollercoaster of conversations. Press Play. 

Navigating what's right from wrong isn't such a challenge any more, when you truly think about it... I mean it's all mapped out for us. We have the laws of the land, and even religions we adhere to that get us the blueprint on how we need to move. Consequently, it feels as if certain behaviors are deemed acceptable, despite their true effects. This week we attempt to explore these thoughts while not being condemned to hell in the process. Get ready to repent. #OETKB

After consectutive days of heavy subject matter we decided to give ourselves a break and discuss something a little more light hearted. Hip Hop Lovers this is for you... OETKB's Top Ten Hip Hop Artist Of All Time

Watching everybody find their hustle is a beautiful sight... entrepreneurship is being pushed like never before. However, not all of us are cut out for it. We try to indentify some of the pros and cons of both routes.... but not before spending wayyy too long talking about "Christian Billionaire Kanye West". What career path are you on? Are you willing to take the leap faith? Or do you prefer the security and consistency of a traditional 9 to 5? Tune In.

When you realize somebody you love and care for may not have mutual feelings for you....boy it's a harsh realization. You're put at a fork in the road, where you have to decide whether you are going to accept them a this new level.... or decide this relationship is something you no longer want to partake in. Often times we can salvage relationships by keeping a heathy distance; protecting ourselves from further hurt. But sometimes it's worth it... and we gotta... Cut Em Off...

Playing the blame game is so fun until you take a step back and realize... you'll never win... We can point the finger at so much, and have valid reasons for it all. However, if we sit back and feel sorry for ourselves absolutely nothing will change. Let's face that reflection and take ownership. Create the change we want to see in ourselves. 

Do we deserve credit for doing the right things... if it's done for the wrong reasons? If not, boy are we in trouble... It seems nowadays every good deed has to be captured on camera... even if the one in need happens to be our own kids. Where does the exploitation stop and the genuine acts of love begin? Does the silver lining out weight the ulterior motives? Or are the good deeds tainted because the acts themselves are impure? Let's figure this out. 

Maybe holding your tongue ain't as bad as it sounds... Knowing when to hold em and when to fold em is more critical than ever, especially at stage is life. This week the squad reminiscences on past high stakes encounters and how we maneuver now knowing 30 is approaching. Tune and turn it up. OETKB. 

Every week it seems that we pump the breaks on a thought or opinion, not because we don't know how to articulate the point.... but there is a fear of backlash of every move we make and word we say. How did we get here as a society? What is it with culture, and its need to "cancel" without regard? Is it control or a valuable contribution? Ya Boys at OETKB attempt not to get cut by this double edged sword.

Let's face it... we all have things we feel entitled to in some shape or form... The challenge is to temper these expectations or jeopardize our happiness. In this show we discuss expectations and entitlements, as well as privilege we see from our selfs and the rest of society. If they finally gave you your just due... what would you do?   

Imagine having one objective since the day you were born... a mission with no clear direction. An ever changing assignment, with stakes that are so large... failure can lead one to question your very existence. This is the journey of a boy trying to figure out what it takes to be a man. The destination isn't reached by simply making it to adulthood... Listen in on OETKB as they attempt define what it means to be a man.

OETKB's 1st episode!!! Fresh off a kickback at Jace's the crew reconvenes to discuss some of their observations...in large part people's inability to communicate face to face! Smart phones have "us" moving a little a dumb... we don't have all the answers.... just trying to learn to navigate through it all like everybody else....
