Rants of a Background Character

On this episode Nigel & Alvin talk with their guest host about a topic that frankly isn't talked about enough... being a dad! This was a special episode as it is their first episode back from a very long hiatus. If you want to be on an episode, make sure you follow the instagram page @rantsofabackgroundcharacter and DM the boys!

On this episode Nigel once again talks about the Bee Hive and their nonsense! The boys come to terms with their inconsistent nature. And they even read off some funny HBCU confessions. Tune In!!

After a 2 month hiatus because of life, the boys are back with an unplanned conversation! Meaning this particular episode had no real plan, this is a normal conversation that Alvin and Nigel were having. They tend to have these types of conversations a lot. Tune in to another funny rant!

Nigel and Alvin along side their special guest host Linda, discuss topics that they want to get off their chest and try and convince the others that what they have to say is valid. From the usual marvel, to the becoming usual Spirit Airlines, the group just want to be heard whether you agree or not.

On this episode Nigel tries to convince Alvin that Spirit Airlines isn't has bad as Alvin thinks it is. The fellas talk about a little bit of their irrational fears (butterflies). Then they dive into what cities they think should not be repped that hard. Keep in mind, they aren't dissing anyone's city so stay out of your feelings.

On this episode Nigel and Alvin discuss the best CONTINENT to visit. Now before you play this episode, just know we are NOT coming at anyone's country, city, set, or whatever you may feel like we are coming at. Okay, so don't take this too personal. Now listen to why Nigel thinks that the most dangerous continent out there is one that he would have no problem visiting. Why Alvin has put a certain continent at the bottom of his list of places to visit. Like it was said before. Don't take it personal, we're Americans after all. Our opinions are greatly skewed by our lack of experience. Disclaimer: We did experience some mic issue. adjust volume if necessary.

Short stories of some wild/funny roommate situations. I know we've all had the one roommate that was either crazy, late on rent, messy, or had no boundaries. How did you deal? Did you say you'd never have another roommate again? I wanna know. In the meantime, listen to these stories.

People in this country will go through hell and high water to defend the worse parts of history that this country has. But the moment truth comes from a different perspective, then and only then does it become a problem. Oh! And don't ever tell black folks how to feel about the history of oppression in this country!

Me and my good friend Nigel have had enough of the impossible standards that it takes to be a man. Whomever set the difficulty level for men to "Hall of Fame" see me at the front door, #EnoughisEnough!

I love animals, like I will watch a National Geographic about the most random ones!

It's not fun out there no more in the single life streets! I don't care what y'all say. Women and Men are asking for the damn near impossible!

Have y'all ever noticed the big difference between Disney parental figures and Pixar parental figures? Or how Disney parental figures just don't exist?! Listen to my theory on this episode

I guess you wonder where I've been?! Well I'm back and coming at you with more stupid rants! stay tuned!!

It's been a while. But I recorded this episode back in May and never released it, and I don't know why. It needed to be released, these things needed to be said. I remember when I started this podcast I wanted to talk about some issues that were controversial. I know I always say I don't like to get political but... oh what the hell, I'm pissed off. Let's rant!!!

Why is the world like this?! Who is the blame?! Bring them to me!! On this episode we explore the first villains of society, yes the people that are responsible for the reason you pay bills.

We all have them, but how do we deal with them? What do we say to them when they are acting out and acting like children???

Okay I didn't mean to rip on Batman like I did this episode but it worked out in the long run. I don't think Bruce Wayne realized that he may have been causing more bad than good.

Let's have a little fun with this episode. Listen to my top 5 movie Villains, read that again. MY TOP 5. You an disagree all you want with it. Hit me up if you do. OH! Who was I talking to at the end just now?

Let's be honest, black history month is fantastic and very necessary. But there are still people that think we no longer need it, EVEN THOUGH WE STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO LEARN!!! On this episode listen to me mindlessly rant about why I think we need BHM!

We've all been there. At the receiving end of a lie that made us look at someone totally differently. But did you ever stop to think that there was a reason for that lie? Sometimes people lie to protect, you can't deny it. But how far is too far? Where's is the line? Is it possible to move on and trust that person again?

Welcome back!!! The first episode of the new season is all about what happens when you give an opinion, and the world doesn't quite like what you said. Guess what.. suck it up! New soundtrack produced by Earl Hondo!!!

It's here y'all! The season 1 finale, and in this episode I am talking about the most toxic type of people I've come across in my life. *Trigger Warning* If you fall into one of these, well maybe you should take a long hard look in the mirror before you come and approach me with any type of conversation.

Why is it so wrong that men enjoy playing video games and watching anime or superhero movies? Do we not deserve any happiness outside of a woman's affection?! Or do y'all just want us to be unhappy. They are other things that men aren't "supposed" to do either and we'll be talking about them on this episode!

In this episode I talk about the nonsense we do after a break-up, or at least the nonsense I've experienced after a break up lol.

On this episode I dive into old cartoons, my hot take on some of the best ones and why we "shouldn't have been watch them". I'm just playing, y'all can watch whatever you like.

Looking back at our not so recent past, me and Rebekah talk about things in our lives that had an absolute chokehold on us and our community. Some things were bad and needed to go, why were y'all out here doing the Nae Nae?!

Fellas we all have that one barber that we would neve cheat on. EVEN THOUGH they don't treat us with the respect we deserve!

Just a little talk about sneakers, my love for them, the journey, and how it can be a fun yet expensive hobby! Don't judge me on how many I have or how much I spend. Just listen and don't ask questions.

Astrology can be fun, but it can also be extremely stupid. And it can make us act even more stupid. HATER ALERT!!!

I'm honestly tired of having this conversation. I get it makes for good debate, but I think it can be dangerous when it comes to experiencing the people we are talking about. Opinions can form biases and those can affect how we perceive those we are talking about.

Sometimes in life, people get a bad rep because of things that "good people" did to them and had a negative effect on them. Disney "Villains" should be all be given a chance to explain themselves. Listen to me and my fiancé try and justify their actions.

I'm sick of this man Captain America being out here being praised as a top tier Avenger. Honestly in my opinion he's bottom tier!  *Spoilers* *going off the MCU not Comics*

Please leave us Android users alone! We are just trying to live ours lives peacefully.

When I was younger watching the rap music videos I always wanted to go to a club to see if it was truly like the videos. I should have listened to Mordacai and Rigby from Regular show.. CLUBS SUCK!

There are certain movie series that are just top tier and hold a special place in our hearts. Here's my list! SPOILER ALERT and also don't judge me on number 3

Women go through a lot as it is, it doesn't help that they are in trying to live their lives and now have to worry about being by harassed the opposite sex (men). As men we are taught to protect and respect women, let's get back to that. Listen and learn.

Being an adult is so confusing, I'm still trying to figure out when I actually became one!

First official episode!!! Listen to me rant about why I can't stand commercials but one type of commercial in particular. Also find out what this podcast may have in store!
