In this episode, Jummie sits down with veteran journalist and author Chris Riker about his latest book, 'Darkling and American Hymn.' The discussion delves into themes of slavery, capitalism, and human nature, exploring how historical and modern forces shape human behavior and societal structures. Riker shares insights from his writing process, his character development, and his broader spiritual journey. The conversation also touches on the insidious nature of slavery's origins in Rhode Island, the seduction of wealth and power, and the importance of empathy over selfishness. Through the lens of magical realism, Riker's book brings historical events to life, challenging readers to think deeply about history, morality, and the potential for human growth.Where to find Chris:https://chrisrikerauthor.com/Send us a textSupport the showLove the show?

Put on your best private detective hat and prepare to get into character as we talk step into the Holodeck and prepare ourselves for inevitable disappointment. In ‘The Practical Joker,' the Enterprise computer gets wacky while Bones, Sulu and Uhura fail to enjoy a primitive Holodeck. In ‘My Way,' Odo uses AI to make girls like him and we get a lot of song and dance numbers (and the best IDW comics pitch) as we meet Vic Fontaine while in Strange New Worlds' Space Adventure Hour, La'an gets to beta-test the Holodeck and nearly kills everyone on the Enterprise doing so. Typical. Bloody Typical.Miles is a Jerk!

SHOW NOTES: The Practical Joker (07:50) My Way (28:49) Space Adventure Hour (55:03)

TALKING POINTS: The Knives, Doctor Who, the Southern Reach series (and the only film where Miles nearly wet himself in the cinema) Brighton Wok the Legend of Ganja Boxing, TAS actually pulling off some Shacting, Unfortunate stains, a noncanonical reason for Chekov's absence from TAS, Romulan pranks are usually pretty deadly, Hamboning, Odo secretly being a gossipy bitch, Miles and Charlie talk relationship advice, Tom Jones in Star Trek, we come up with the PERFECT IDW Comic pitch, Miles hates when 50s SF TV and Cinema is immediatly shown to be crap, The Last Frontier feels too mean spirited to be affectionate, the cast getting to play, Uhura and Scotty is a great contrast to Uhura at the start of Strange New Worlds, the L'an and Spock pairing seems weird and the show is obsessed with making us know Spock ***ks, Vulcan Walk of Shame, Charlie has tried to Riker a chair (Update: Charlie can still Riker a chair)

PEDANT'S CORNER: Top of the Pops and Old Grey Whistle Test are BBC Music shows, there was some BS about flags in the British News hence the strange tangent about flags. Neighbors and Home and Away are two long running Australian soap operas that were incredibly popular in the UK back in the day.

In this episode, White Collar Suge kicks off with a wild Epstein list accusation toward Sham, leading to a flurry of chaotic banter, side-eyes, and Drake jokes that never really recover. Riker shifts the topic with a house-flipping pitch that spirals into debates over gentrification, Detroit slander, and the Black Libertarian declaring war on Dearborn. The crew dives into the wild world of rating apps, vulnerability politics, and the myth of womanhood rebrands, all while Sham insists he's not participating (but totally is). Things heat up as they confront Pro-Black hypocrisy, the “Kamala ain't it” argument, and how some foster kids were treated like slaves by a white couple in a true story twist. By the end, everyone's confessing arrest stories, debating Resident Evil as celibacy propaganda, and dragging Tariq Nasheed for being Pro-Black with a snow bunny.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

A once theoretical “Null Space” has been found – theoretical? Maybe, but Null plus Null always equals Null!  A race of androgo-noians – talk about NULL! The Enterprise swings its “D” into uncharted territory and takes on the brave new world of gender politics for the first time! Talk about boldly going. (The fans were begging for the show to address gay characters – fans, please, stop begging!) After all,  we had Riker playing second in command to the Matriarch in “Angel One” in Season One! Remember all that Frakes nipple play? If that wasn't enough gender-bending, this time ol' Johnny falls in love with a J'nailian who doesn't play by normal J'nailian rules – she's GAAAAAAAY for Johnny! By the way, they've lost their shuttle in some null space and need the Enterprise to enter that Null space, carefully! Be careful on the entry… and PULL their shuttle safely out! So, Riker and this J'nailian get crammed into a Starfleet shuttle and sparks fly – this time Rikes ass is getting zapped but in a good way! Riker is smitten by this non-gendering space… person! Will Next Gen be able to navigate the complications of gender assignment in 1992? Will Riker get to expose his bare chest to the J'nailian? Will they ever get that shuttle out of null-space? What the fuck is Null Space anyway? Find out in this new exciting adventure on ST:TNGeez! Not Another Star Trek Podcast!Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

Nick Gojcaj grew up in Queens dreaming of becoming an NYPD cop, but after that didn't work out, he spent 20 years in the corporate world before making a drastic career change in his 40s—joining Rikers Island as a corrections officer. For three years he worked inside one of America's most notorious jails, dealing with chaos, violence, and the daily dangers of being a prison guard, until a confrontation with inmates left him permanently disabled. Instead of protecting him, Rikers illegally terminated his job, sparking a legal battle that he's still fighting today. In this episode, Nick opens up about his journey from the academy to life on the inside, the shocking realities of working at Rikers, and how he's now exposing the system that betrayed him. #RikersIsland #PrisonGuard #CorrectionsOfficer #NYCPrisons #RikersStories #PrisonLife #LawEnforcement #CorruptionExposed Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Prison Realities and Riker's Introduction 00:19 Nick's Unusual Career Path 01:51 Favorite Episodes and Influential People 03:21 Union Perks, Disability, and Department Politics 04:23 Growing Up: Family and Childhood Influences 05:21 School Trouble and Early Aspirations 06:12 Drinking, Gambling, and Avoiding Trouble 08:09 Crime, Arrests, and a Flawed System 09:49 Stable Home vs. Turbulent Friends 10:57 From College Hopes to Law Enforcement Dreams 13:09 College Life and NYPD Rejection 14:35 Corporate World: Two Decades Lost 16:08 Career Pivot: Joining Corrections at 44 17:43 Correctional Academy: Training Realities 20:08 Academy vs. Real World at Rikers 22:47 Early Days on the Job & Learning from Inmates 26:03 Systemic Issues: Contraband, Corruption, and Challenges 29:39 Schedules, Overtime, and Hidden Job Hazards 33:09 Facing Reality: Dangerous Shifts, Staff Politics 36:14 Respect, Dignity, and Handling Inmates 39:41 Violence, Use of Force, and Officer Dilemmas 43:00 The Incident and Long-Term Injury 47:34 Aftermath: Desk Duty, Recovery, and Abrupt Firing 53:46 Legal Fight and Alleged Retaliation 58:39 Department Corruption and Favoritism 01:02:02 Lawsuit, Motivation, and Moving Forward 01:06:10 Advice, Support, and Closing Thoughts Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

Ever wanted to see Worf's feet? Good news, shrimpers, because they are on display in “Ethics”! That's right! It's an all-new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast, and it's coming at you right about . . . NOW!We've seen Worf battle all manner of Galaxy-class opponents--from Romulans to Ferengi to Borg--but in this episode, he meets his greatest enemy! BARRELS! Giant ass barrels filled with space stuff that fall off a shelf and crush his spine! Ouch! Good thing it's the 24th century, so they can wave a glow wand at him and fix him right up. Except they can't because no one has ever bothered to heal a sick Klingon. Seems those ridge-headed nuts prefer to commit ritual suicide rather than live with any limited mobility. Worf requests Riker's assistance in the ritual, putting their friendship to the ultimate test along with Riker's cultural sensitivity. The tension gets tenser when Dr. Toby Russel comes aboard eager to test her unproven treatments regardless of the risk to her patients, even if they're named Worf, and Bev ain't having it. All this and Alexander, the most adorable Klingon, just wants to see his dad! Will Worf ever walk again? Will Riker get over himself and honor his friend's request? Will Troi ever get paid for all these hours babysitting? Find out in this all-new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not Another Star Trek Podcast!Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

Are you ready for a outrageous episode? We are talking about this episode of Holodeck divas, not the Star Trek we are about to cover, and if you listen you'll hear why!We discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation Episode "The Outrageous Okona." The Enterprise picks up a pirate, who has a terrible wig and a libedo that impresses Riker. Picard wishes for death as we head into a bad version of a Romeo and Juliet show. Listen to hear why!

Picard is BACK, and of course that means the PD Crew is on the case.  If Picard can get the ol' gang back together, why couldn't Jaxilly?  But does the PD Crew LIKE what Picard is hawking?  (Shriking?) Spoiler alert: Not really, but we're having as much fun chewing on this content here as Captain Shaw does chewing his dinner and also being annoyed by Picard and Riker and their harebrained schemes.  It's early 2023, obviously, so Antman and the Wasp in Quantumania (remember that?) is on everyone's minds, but we're also comparing Jellico to Shaw, gushing over the Star Trek porn that is this season's end credits, trying to figure out if we saw a Changeling, fantasizing about Picard going insane (or doing some actual acting), revisiting the Citadel of Galens, and dropping THREE phat new jams.  Season 3 of Picard may not be off to a great start, but this season of Jaxilly will have you ENGAGED.

But after she requests some help and Spock joins the illusion, their lack of weird energy helps her solve the case in time to save the Entrepreneur.

The Enterprise is scooting around the galaxy when they get a . . . wait for it . . . distress call! The call is only confirmed by the resident empath's big feelings. Seems a starship went down on the M-Class moon of Mab-Bu IV 172 years ago! But hey, wouldn't all those people be dead by now? That is unless they had some old-ass Vulcan on board, right? (DId I say, “Went down on Mab-Bu IV”? I did. Yes, I did.) Unfortunately, the crew of the Enterprise D is unable to beam down to the moon's surface because of electromagnetic whirlwinds or E.M.W.'s, which nobody calls them. So, it's shuttle time, and the small one at that –'cause of all the E.M.W.'s probably – they play havoc on those big shuttle craft. Riker, Data, and Troi to the rescue, but before they know it, they crash on the Mab-Bu-ian moon. O'Brien beams down, and they all  get their asses zapped! (Say, Riker hasn't had a good ass-zaping in a long time!) When the away team gets back up top ship-side, it seems they aren't the away team they were before going away, well, everyone except Riker. Very quickly we learn--thank you, Ensign Ro--that Team Baddie has hijacked Troi, Data, and Miles, and these bastards are ruthlessly snatching hostages and taking over the ship! Will a possessed Miles O'Brien phaser his new born baby? Will Troi show her badass acting chops? Will Data pop Picard's head like a flipping Pez dispenser?

When Riker joins the Starfleet Cultural Exchange Program, relationships begin building upon new understanding. But when literally everything else reinforces the Klingons distrust of Humans, Riker must find a way to honor his oaths to both the Pagh and the Enterprise.

In this episode of the Everyday Black Men podcast, the crew is joined by Kwame Terra, who walked 2 million steps in 30 days and aims to revolutionize Black health through his bEHR Health app. Kwame explains how he balanced building his company while walking up to 80 miles a day, prompting Reed to ask about his soundtrack and Sham to question the sanity of the feat. The group dives into Black health disparities, with Kwame emphasizing that 80% of wellness is how you live, not genetics or medicine, and citing that even a 64-year-old woman can work on her fitness enough to be on track for a million steps by herself. Kwame indulges the crew with Riker asking how a plant-based living has helped Kwame mentally, and The Black Libertarian reflects on society's resistance to prioritizing self-improvement. Kwame leaves the crew with a challenge: reimagine your morning routine, skip processed foods, and move toward health goals with intention and community, highlighting the potential for personal growth and empowerment in this journey. The episode wraps with thoughts on changing Black morning routines, building community through fitness, and Kwame's upcoming app launch in October—which puts us one step closer to covering the distance to the moon.LinksLinktree: bit.ly/4mguF9S IG: bit.ly/4oc4vXzWebsite: bit.ly/4fvvoC5Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

Remember the last time the crew of the Enterprise lost their memories? Yeah, we don't either, but when they do, it leaves them in quite a “Conundrum.” Find out all about it in this exciting episode of ST:TNGeez . . . The Enterprise is investigating some weird subspace nonsense when they lose their memories in a flash of light. The confused crew do their best to recover while also trying to figure out why their precious computer is also borked when it comes to personal data and mission logs. They finally manage to access some personnel files and learn their names, and they're all here. Picard, Worf, Ro (yes! Ensign Ro is back, baby!), Data, Bev, Troi, MacDuff, Riker . . . Hey, wait! Who the Hell is MacDuff? Why he's second in command of the Enterprise of course, and Capt. Picard's right hand man. Good thing, too, because it seems Starfleet is in the middle of a war with a race called the Lysians, and the Enterprise is taking the point in a crucial mission that promises to end the war. It's a ship in a bottle episode and with tensions flaring, memories failing, and Rikers fucking, This bottle gonna break! Will Bev be able to help the crew regain their memories? Will anyone ask why there's a Klingon on board? Will Picard remember where he put his sweater? Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

In this wild ride of an episode, the crew dives into submarine conspiracy audio, the nightmare fuel of a live-action Powerpuff Girls, and how the Menendez brothers are being roped into saving Derek Chauvin. Riker christens a rebrand as the episode title before the crew debates firing squads, hypocrisy, and whether P. Diddy deserves sympathy or beatdowns. Reed and Sham go at it over Brian Keith Sigman's ex, Reed's tortilla technique, and the principle of picking a stance and standing on it. White Collar Suge defends Lizzo and calls out online gambling ruining the NBA, while Sham questions America's selective memory on events like the LA terrorist attack or Egypt's geography. The fellas close the episode with jokes about Mickey 17, cancer monkey trauma, darkskin shame, and the kind of chaos only Everyday Black Men can deliver.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

In this episode of Everyday Black Men, the crew picks up where "Reed's Split Personality" left off, with Reed praising the CFPB chair featured on Breaking Points. White Collar Suge declares his political independence but gets heated when Riker cracks a joke about him being a certain animal, sparking playful tension. The discussion shifts to critiques of Obama and the gig economy, with Riker calling out Uber as a fake job and dubbing Suge the “Blue Collar Supreme” among his peers. Reed jokes that Suge has earned the right to start cheating now that he's "made it," prompting Riker to ask if Reed is projecting. The episode wraps with Suge reflecting on wasted opportunities in the Black community, like squandering refund checks on Jordans, while Reed throws in a jab about $20 baby photo shoots and staying humble—closing the episode with laughter and layered insights.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

Ever wonder what Jean-Luc Picard looks like with hair on his head? Find out in “Violations”! It's an all-new episode of ST:TNGeez . . . Once again, the Enterprise D is making like a Galaxy Class Uber and ferrying some folks around the quadrant. This time, it's a trio of Ullians, a race who are able to excavate memories from others using telepathy. Sounds like a fun party trick like pulling a quarter out of someone's ear or guessing their card, but those tricks usually don't put people in comas. Before you can say “Berlinghoff Rasmussen,” Troi is in a coma. The crew is stunned, and then Riker falls into a coma! The crew is shocked, and then Bev falls into a coma! The crew is now actively perturbed and seeking solutions! Hey, you think the Ullians have something to do with it? (Worf did!) Well, duh, but Geordi and Data need to find a way to connect the dots and revive their beloved crewmates before anyone else falls prey to this mysterious malady. What or who could be the cause of this coma plague? Will the victims ever wake up? Is it possible this plot could be any more heavy-handed and obvious? Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

This week, we're bending time, smashing starships, and looping through one of the most mind-bending episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Season 5, Episode 18 – "Cause and Effect". It's a perfect example of how sci-fi can take a deceptively simple concept—what if you're stuck in a time loop?—and turn it into a suspenseful, clever, and surprisingly rewatchable piece of television.

In this special edition episode, JT and Anthony are joined by former NFL Super Bowl champion, pastor, author, and leader of men, Tim Johnson. Tim shares insights from his book and film Fatherless No More, exploring how unresolved father wounds shape a man's identity and struggles. His radical story of faith has taken him all over the globe, most recently to Riker's Island prison in New York, where he spent extensive time reshaping the lives of the young men there. In everything he does, Tim wants men to understand the deeper "why" behind our design, showing that vices are often symptoms of a soul left unhealed. Through honesty, forgiveness, and release, Tim reveals a path to lasting freedom and purpose.Fatherless No More Institute: https://fatherlessnomoreinst.org/ Fatherless No More Film: https://fatherlessnomorefilm.com/ Fatherless No More Book: https://www.fnmbook.com/ LEARN MORE:Website: https://greatman.tv/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/ Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/

In this episode of Everyday Black Men, the show kicks off with a surprisingly off-brand intro from Reed, catching everyone off guard. White Collar Suge questions the rise of YNs, joking that they might just be another one of Reed's chaotic personalities gone rogue. The crew dives into a heated conversation about Karl Malone's predatory past, and Riker points out the irony of Jay Z confronting his accuser but avoiding paternity court for the man who claims to be his son. Amid the chaos, Reed jokes about his time as a RadioShack manager, and when everyone else's phones go off with an Amber Alert, Riker says Reed didn't get one because even automated systems know he doesn't care. The episode rounds out with Armstead urging folks not to forget T.I., and the musicians in the group issue a cautionary message to up-and-coming creatives before signing off.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

Tomorrow marks ten years since the death of Kalief Browder, who as a teenager was held for three years on Riker's Island, including in solitary confinement, without being convicted of a crime. A new documentary premiering at the Tribeca Festival follows the movement to seek justice following Browder's death. The film also commemorates Browder's mother, Venida, who died not long after Kalief, through her poetry. Director Sisa Bueno discusses "For Venida, For Kalief," which premieres tomorrow.

DOUBTING THOMAS RIKER. Kira and the crew of DS9 fall under the charms of a Riker, just not the one they think! Transporter Twin Thomas Riker has his eyes set on the USS Defiant and uses sexcraft to get what he wants.

Our theme this month is DS9's Season Three Leap Forward, looking at key episodes that showed Star Trek's middle child taking off and finding its own voice. Joining Bryan to kick things off is actor-producer-comedian Curtis Fortier, star and producer of web series 12 Sided Die, featuring Trek alumni such as Tim Russ and Andrew Robinson.The grades begin at (21:30).

In this episode of *Everyday Black Men* podcast, the crew breaks down the new Trump tax bill with Stylish kicking things off with confusion about how MAGA accounts would even work. White Collar Suge argues that while it benefits the wealthy, working-class folks won't see real change unless they own assets, not just jobs. Riker leans in with sarcasm, wondering if the new lick will be opening a business overseas, while the Black Libertarian opposes the bill as a loss for personal freedom and smaller government due to the attack on personal exemption taxes. The group later debates whether trickle-down economics is just cosplay for rich people playing economist by raising taxes on the poor. As always, the episode wraps up with strong opinions, sharp jokes, and just enough chaos to make you question your next paycheck.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

In this emergency episode of Everyday Black Men, the hosts dive headfirst into the controversy surrounding Shannon Sharpe, with Riker joking that they're now "Spanish" due to the secondhand embarrassment from his recent actions. White Collar Suge delivers a hilarious impression of Shannon, setting the tone for a wide-ranging and unfiltered discussion. Sham unleashes his frustration with the Democratic Party—especially after the infamous Kente cloth moment—while also slipping in a classic bar story for context. Stylish critiques the Democrats for being too ideologically pure, potentially alienating everyday voters, and Reed drops a bold take questioning whether the marriage equality bill would even pass today, a comment that sparks spirited debate. The episode closes out with Sham reflecting on life without burglar bars, Suge imagining what it's like to safely talk back to the police, and plenty more hot takes before the conversation ends.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

   Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes back Esther Deutsch to the podcast. She was last on Season 5, Episode 255, where we talked about how conflict is good for the business of family court.    Esther broadened her story and explained how the judge ordered on the record  that she couldn't even reach out to teachers at her children's school.      "The intention is to completely destroy the relationship with the parent and child," Esther explained. She also explained that she was threatened with jail for posting on X three heart emojis (❤️❤️❤️) representing her children. Esther had already been imprisoned in one of the worst prisons (worse than Riker's Island), Nassau County Correctional Facility and elaborated on that.    We also discussed the third party parasites that would call her "dangerous," but would not elaborate in order to keep her from her children. These court actors destroyed the relationship with her children as she hasn't seen them in five years.

Have you ever wanted to watch Mr. Spock go to meeting after meeting after meeting? Then do we have an episode for you! It's “Unification, Part II” and it's an all-new episode of ST:TNGeez, Not  . . . NOW!Last time, we waited a whole episode to catch a glimpse of Mr. Spock on Romulus. This time we get a whole episode full of him. Here's Spock in a cave, talking. Here's Spock in a restaurant, talking. Here's Spock in some guy's office, talking. And all the while, Picard and Data are there, sometimes dressed as Romulans, and sometimes not, talking to Spock. So what's all the talk about? Why reuniting the Vulcans and the Romulans into one big, happy, pointy eared family. It seems like there's a movement on Romulus to make it happen with Senator Pardek promising to connect Spock to all the right people, like a group of  eager citizens and a smarmy Proconsul. Sounds good, doesn't it? I mean, it's not like the Romulans would be plotting anything underhanded, right? Right? In the meantime, Riker and the rest of the cast are trying to figure out who stole a Vulcan ship from a junkyard. Wait, did we say “Vulcan ship”? A Vulcan ship goes missing while Spock, Picard, and Data are on Romulus talking about reunification? Meh. Probably just a huge coincidence. Anywho . . . Will Picard uncover the Romulan plot? Will Data find a new friend in this old ass Vulcan? Will Spock ever shut the fuck up? Jolan true, Dave!Even more available at: https://tngeez.com

In this episode of Everyday Black Men, the crew kicks things off with a political prediction that the Democrats will likely lose more Senate power in 2026, with Osoff's seat in jeopardy. Riker brings up a wild Reddit thread where a woman seeks advice—from other women, not men—about her boyfriend's ashy situation that just isn't cutting it, leading the crew into a hilarious and informative dive into skincare and dermatology. Around the 29-minute mark, the politics give way to rap antics as Sham urges Riker to drop a diss track before Drake gets any litigious ideas. The military vets share their ultimate wingman stories, before the conversation shifts to the growing number of Black women opting out of the culture war discourse. As things wrap up, Reed reacts to White Collar Suge's hot take with genuine shock, Sham calls out selective activism, and the fellas drop commentary on everything from Joe Rogan to twerking at campaign rallies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

Are you ready for an episode that is a study on the matriarchy vs the patriarchy? Well you won't be getting that from the episode we are discussing. In this episode of Holodeck Divas we discuss the Star Trek - The Next Generation episode "Angel One" (s1e14). The crew of the Enterprise are looking for a lost freighter and they find a planet ruled by women. At the same time there is suddenly a virus that contaminates the entire ship. Where does the disease come from? Also what color is Riker's nipple supposed to be? Listen to hear what the divas have to say!

In this episode of "Everyday Black Men," White Collar Suge challenges the group with a peculiar test, setting the stage for fresh antics. Reed continues his trolling streak by announcing his desire to visit North Korea's resort, prompting Riker to humorously recruit the podcast's 17 bravest white listeners to join him—strictly for research purposes, of course. The Black Libertarian downplays the appeal of Dave & Buster's in favor of deep space exploration, causing Reed to question whether he has genuine hobbies. As tensions rise, The Black Libertarian and Riker clash over relationship preferences—specifically dating whomever you want versus leaving people behind for their generation. The episode wraps up with a surprising member of the team looking for an olive branch before the episode ends.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.
