The "Whatever Happened to Common Sense?" Show

"Should I Vaccinate or Wait?"

In this new episode, I address my hesitations about the COVID-19 vaccination.  First, I will present my concerns about whether these vaccinations have been fully vetted to work out all of the major kinks and side effects. We'll do this by reviewing  the vaccination data, sharing details about the specific brands, reviewing the perceived benefits, and providing an overview of the potential side effects including information about those who have experienced major allergic reactions. Secondly, as an African-American man, I will discuss my inherent caution, considering the history of medical atrocities against my people. We will clarify this thought by reviewing the details of the Tuskegee Experiment and the story of Henrietta Lacks. To close  this episode, I will offer additional commentary and encouragement with hopes of motivating everyone to take the necessary steps to be well-informed about the COVID-19 vaccination in order to make the best decision for you and your family.   

Planting Seeds: "Live Like a Farmer to Receive a Life of Prosperity!"

In this episode, we discuss the concept of planting and nurturing seeds to receive a life of continuous prosperity. We address this from two perspectives: setting goals and applying the necessary strategies or nutrients to live your best life and by being a sincere support of others to help them to do the same. You don't want to miss this topic as we share our own personal growth and shortcomings. 

"The Fatherless Son"

For our second episode of Season 2, we are excited to bring back to our show, Officer Rashod Coleman and he is going to discuss his new book, “Fatherless Son - How the Criminal Justice System Tore My Family Apart and Brought Us Back Together”. Along with reviewing the book, he will also provide heartfelt information about his life story and offer feedback on how to overcome tremendous obstacles. We will close this episode by sharing our viewpoints about the concept of mass incarceration and so much more.

"Can You See?"

For the start of our journey into Season 2, we address several political topics that are particularly relevant during this election season. First, we address the polarizing dynamic that exists between the Democratic and Republican parties. We do this from a moral perspective and speak of the inability of each party’s supporters to truthfully highlight anything negative about the politicians and their actions.  I have watched many of my friends, family members, and others on social media blindly voice their fervent support and positive opinions about the party of their choice and inversely their total disdain for the other. Look, regardless of the political party that you may support, we must still be honest with ourselves, utilize effective discernment, and speak the truth regardless whether it is positive or negative. Anything other than this, just makes you a puppet to that party and susceptible to fall for anything. We’ll close this episode by reiterating our thoughts about the importance of voting in the upcoming presidential election.  

"As the World Turns"

In our Season 1 Finale, we discuss multiple current events such as the return of the NBA season, the race to create a COVID-19 vaccination, the Breonna Taylor case, and the rise of inner-city violence within some of our African-American communities. We’ll provide feedback about these topics as well as Kanye West’s bid to become a presidential candidate, Rudy Giuliana’s comments about the Black Lives Matters organization, and my thoughts about any African-American who is planning to not vote in the upcoming Presidential Election.
