We are back! After a long hiatus, the podcast is back!

Have you ever looked back on something fondly, and you have that overwhelming sense of loss or nostalgia because that person or place is absent? That is what we explore in this episode. My guest Tyler and I discussed some of our prior relationships and how things might have been different or even better. We also discuss dating in general and how things are a little rough out the...

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These are three unalienable rights granted to us by the Declaration of Independence. However, as a nation, we have been missing the mark on liberty. This week's episode has my good friend Steven Fryson, and we discuss a myriad of topics such as abortion, police shootings, Jaylen Walker, adoption, foster care, and more. There has been an escalating level of frustration with the things we ...

Why do we continue to change the standard of what is considered beautiful as a society? Why do we stay inside toxic friendships/relationships way longer than we need to? How many licks does it take until you get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? We attempt to answer these questions and more inside this week's episode of Barely Qualified!

It's another episode of the BQ podcast! In this one, we catch up with Jay and Jacob! It has been over a year and a half since I have spoken to Jay so definitely wanted to spend some time with him to see how he has been coping throughout lockdown and the pandemic we have all been experiencing. This wasn't as much of a perpetual lightning round as we have had previously, just a couple of guys talking through our previous past few mon...

It has been a long time. We know. We know. I know you might have questions like where have you been for the past few months, and why have you just now decided to put out a new episode. One, watch your tone, and two it's because it's something serious that I feel that we need to discuss. Vaccine hesitancy has been at an all-time high with covid vaccines that were released earlier in the year. Kipp, Steven, and I take this time to di...

What is grief if not love persevering? A character from a top-rated series that just aired on Disney Plus uttered these words, but no matter who uttered the phrase, these words have continued to stick with me. We all know there is a certain inevitability to this life that we live. Even knowing that this existence will end, we go on day by day pretending that it won't. Our jobs, friends, and even family can be taken for granted. Tha...

This week's episode was a lot of fun. Alyssa Harmadi and Kayla Herring stopped by and we had a few drinks and a lot of laughs. The discussion ranged from mental health in the era of covid 19. How we all basically lost an entire year of our lives due to this pandemic. A lot of the discussion hemmed on us speaking candidly about our childhoods, and how things that happened in our childhoods can shape who we are today in society. This...

Here is a bonus bit from the previous conversation that I had with Alysha Johnson! Most of it stems from us talking about eating ass. Yes. You read that correctly. Most of this conversation involves food and eating ass. How we made it to this point... I have no idea. Alas, here we are! Enjoy!

Sometimes the stars align, and you finally make a thing happened that you have been waiting to happen for a very long time. Alysha Johnson was on the show this week, and I had an excellent time recording the show with her. We touched on topics from loss of loved ones, covid lockdowns, children growing up in isolation, and overall contentedness in life. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but so much was discussed, it wouldn't f...

You ever have a conversation with someone, and after the conversation has come to a close, you think back to yourself thinking, "Damn, I wish I would have recorded that conversation." This was one of those moments that I had that thought and pre-emptively hit the record button. Please don't come at me for not asking the individual if it was cool to record. We spoke after it was done, and I was given full permission to post to the e...

Do you think if your significant other is watching porn and masturbating (without you) that it is considered cheating? Do you feel as though the people around you aren't taking the pandemic seriously enough? Have you mysteriously noticed your conditioner missing in your bathroom, but your shampoo remains untouched? No? Fascinating! My guest Nichole Clarke and Jamie Ilano gave their opinions on these topics and a lot more. We even t...

Sometimes you just need to have a vent session with some friends. In this week's episode, I speak with Charles McCaskill and Kipp Jennings about their 2020 years. How they have coped with the pandemic. Charles shares fascinating insight into what it was like to be on the front lines in a grocery store watching people lose their minds over toilet paper. Kipp speaks on how much insight he gained during this time in quarantine and lim...

If there is anything that I know for a fact is that the news cycle over the past few weeks has been nothing but insanity. So in an attempt to detox myself from all things newsworthy I phoned up Alyssa Harmadi and Dalton Wright to spend some time away from the nonsense that is our day-to-day news cycle. We discussed our favorite music artsists that we are currently listening to, whether or not Dalton is over the age of 35, and why A...

Inside of this week's episode, I speak with my friends Jacob Pierce and Steven Fryson about the recent presidential election. We discuss how insane the past week has been on the lead up to election day, how there has been so much inflammatory rhetoric being used to place doubt in the results of the election, and how covid has still upended our normal lives and has cast more strain to our mental health during these trying times. Mos...

This is the first time we have ever put video to our Barely Qualified podcast. Unfortunately, I recorded it in a format that isn't easy to edit, and when it is reformated I lose visual and audio fidelity. With that being said this episode is full of frustration and anger while we try to navigate our feelings in this current climate of being black men in America. We discuss stories from our past interactions with the police and how ...

This weeks episode is a continuation of The Monkey Bread Monologues with Kerry, Kipp and Larry returning for the second half of the episode. We discuss random Applebees hate coming from some rap artists as well as our perspective takes in porn. We had to make a correction for a presumption of a local DJ hosts ethnicity, since in the age of Google, why would we ever verify anything. Finally we rap up with our love languages and the ...

Here is another time to where more than ever I just decide to rant. It has been a few weeks since we have placed out an episode and I wanted to share the state of where the show is, the state of where our country is, and to provide my most feeble attempt of hope in these unscertain times.

An awesome episode this week with three friends of mine Larry, Kerry, and Kipp. No this is not the black version of the three stooges, but they are hilarious gentlemen nonetheless. In this first part of the two-part series we talk a lot about relationship duties, and responsibilities. What is considered an inordinate amount of sexual desire? How many licks does it take until you get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? And ...
