That's Racist

Kind of a random assortment of topics. Love. Some politics. 

Been a minute. Catching up. Talking about America the great. 

Just a catch up. Been awhile since M has been traveling so much this year. Like we never missed a step. 

Positions of influence, abuse of power, mo money mo problems. The usual. 

Just a hodge podge catchup with the B's. 

Just our latest startup venture... also thinking about starting that asphalt company called "Black Don't Crack" be honest... it's catchy lol. 

Lol the most random descent into Marlanian you ever did hear. Enjoy. 

I think we talk about a bunch of random stuff around a central theme of the human body, lol. I don't even think we were meant to be talking about that in the first place but natural conversation is an art, that we have most certainly mastered. 

Marlon went to China. Again. Alani beat someone up in class. Again. 

Purpose comes in many shapes and forms. I truly believe it is critical for every person to have purpose everyday they wake up. That purpose can change of course. Regardless, it is critical. 

All you need to know is prima donna... 

We get inquisitive about what it may actually be like after lights out? Where do you go? What do you do? Do you get to pick? 

Met a woman who does social media full time. There's a lot more involved than I thought and a lot more money to be made than I thought. 

Listen to how Alani has been managing his new years resolutions and how small changes can equal signifcant improvments to health and well being

Talking about how what we see on social media isn't always representative of what the world is actually thinking. We all have our own little microcosms on social media. Easy to be deluded. 

New Year. New you? Maybe. Maybe not. 

What exactly does it mean to be authentic on Instagram? Do we all have a little bit of "fake" in us? Is just being authentic even enough? 

We have a listener who is an online sex worker and she shared some of the requests she gets from customers. To each their own...

Marlon went to China this weekend and Alani vanished in the middle of teaching class...

In this episode we attempt wade into the subject of instructor evaluations and whether or not we should even try to attempt to quantify instructing. Does it matter? Of course. But to who??

Just a kind of random talk this week lol. Not sure how we landed there but good convo as always. 

The age old question. Can we TRULY be friends with the enemy??

Russell Brand made a career off of promiscuity. Did he take it too far? 

The Voice Referendum is due to be voted on October 14th. We have no idea which way it will go, but either way is a big deal for Australia. 

President of Spanish futbol kisses a female player after the world cup... right or wrong?  Should you check your lover's messages? Yay or nay??

The need for attention is an entire new pandemic of its own. It's everywhere because we're everywhere. A universal drug. And where there are drugs, there are overdoses. 

When you really think about it... I mean reallllly think about it, everyone is extradordinary these days according to everything we hear about ourselves. But are we really? And is that actually a bad thing? 

The titanic exploration sub was devastating to say the least but was also interesting from the perspective of classism and mortality. Wonder what you all think. 

The woes of body image from a man's perspective. I'm tryna get buff yo.  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

A brief talk about the military and war crimes. We don't talk about it often but it's difficult to talk about without committing treason lol.  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani  

It's hard to progress forward or up when people won't move out of the way. We all want to be the best, everyone wants to be at the top, but even the president has term limits.  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

Well this is a question that we probably never thought would be so contentious. What is a woman? What is a man? Who decides? Does it matter? Just adding to the pile of talks, interviews, and podcasts, that can't seem to agree on what exactly constitutes a men/women, males/females. Wonder what you think?  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

As we know, the US is a leader when it comes to gun violence, but I wonder if people's attitude would be different if they lived there?   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

What's being a man mean these days? What does being a woman mean these days? Are you even allowed to say that anymore? 

It's not so often these days you hear about someone sticking with something for longer than it takes to scroll to the next video. Shoutout to Alani for giving us 25 of his best years teaching BODYCOMBAT all around the world. We talk about the golden years and what it takes to continue to grow as an instructor.  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

We interview a white guy and ask him what it's like to be white these days. Interesting discussion and JR is a really good dude.    https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

Social media has skewed not only our perception of beauty, but also how much is out there. Yes everyone is beautiful but the law of averages tells us otherwise. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani  

Chris Rock's Netflix Special Selective Outrage and Dave Chappelle's new special What's In A Name both provide commentary on today's social climate, so we rap about what we think about these awesome men and social issues today.  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

Rounding out this topic (no pun intended). This stuff is always case by case, but there's definitely a way forward if we're willing to have the conversation.  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

Talking about the latest and greatest fat loss trend. What do you all think about it?  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

The world we live in is crazy these days. Everything is everyone's problem. How can we sustain it?    Buy me a coffee link below. Yerrr.  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

Should sports be involved in political debates? Are sports a distraction about what's really going in the world?  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/marlani

Us talking about the movie "She Said" about Harvey Weinstein. Wonder how people feel about this extremely nuanced, not black and white issue. 

She finally made it on shore. My lovely mother came to Sydney for a few weeks and we were able to make a podcast with her while she was here. Really hope you enjoy this episode with her. Also, check us out on Buy Me A Coffee if you have comments or want to pose questions for the show, or just to show some support. Yerr.  buymeacoffee.com/marlani

Took us long enough but we finally reached the 100 episode mark, and of course Alani was in full form not even five minutes in lol. Prepare to laugh.

Just wrapping up this topic for good pretty much. We are clearly over it lol. Too much division these days. 

Do you believe in fate and destiny? Do you believe in free will? Do we ever really have a choice? 

Good talk on some changes we're beginning to notice as we age and how to think about health and wellness as you age. Also, farts. 

Had a fascinating conversation about separating the person from the work. Is it right? 

Just some thoughts and tips on how nutrition can help shape your life for better or for worse. 

New Zealand Parliament becomes the first to be majority women. It's about time.
