Do You Trust Significant Others In The Workplace? #092

Do You Trust Significant Others In The Workplace? #092 - We know the workplace is a hotbed for extramarital affairs. How confident are you with your wife/husband/lover at work working loooong hours? 🤨 - Let's discuss! #znd

The workplace can be confined to an intimate setting. Think about it: you’re with the same people for most of the week during hours which permit the most sunlight in confined spaces discussing similar topics. If they’re there long enough, there could become a blur between work and home environment and that could lead to unexpected emotional attachments and situations.

How Have Gender Roles Changed for Newer Generations? #038 #znd - In this #podcast, let's review how women are proposing to men, men are raising the children, and more gender role switches for a new generation. Listen up!

Things aren’t the same as in your grandparent’s days. Remember seeing those old commercials on TV or in old magazines where women were advertised to through soap operas or magazines for such items as vacuum cleaners and washing machines? And men were always in suits bragging about bringing home the bacon while the wife cooked it.

Chivalry is dead, right?

Things were simple: men worked…

Why Work A 9-To-5 When You Can Be An Instagram Model? #123

Why Work A 9-To-5 When You Can Be An Instagram Model? #123 #podcast - The Kim Kardashian effect has created the Instagram model who opts to focus on using their bodies to make money rather than work a 9-to-5. Let's discuss a bit. #znd

Rise of the Instagram Model

So many people work their fingers to the bone for that paycheck. It’s honest work and the work ethic is passed down from generation to generation. But now, with social media and a digital wave of communication has passed postal mail or even phone calls, a rise in the Instagram model industry has boomed. So, what is this exactly?

What Are The Best TV Theme Songs You Can Remember? #082

Maybe today's themes can hold up but we doubt it could even compare to the 70s and 80s. So, when you think of your favorite themes, what are they and why? Listen to the #podcast and reminisce!

Nostalgia sometimes kicks in when you hear a song and you remember a time, date, and place…or even an event. But one thing that’s lost from this generation are tv themes. Nowadays, it seems most TV shows don’t have a real theme when it comes on.

Depending on your age, you can hear this photo TV Themes have changed

In the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and some early 2000s, you’d get to turn on that…

Should A Person's Past Ruin Their Future Deeds? #102 #znd - This #podcast discusses if someone is redeemable despite their past. What do you think? Do you think your past should dictate your character? Click to listen!

We’ve seen it all before. Someone does a good deed and then you look further into their past and begin to judge them. Or maybe they’re already a horrible person and their past deeds confirm it. Either way, you’re wondering if someone can be redeemable due to their past? Many who have exited the prison system have gone on to do some really great things in their communities. Yet, considering…

Why Have The Left Allowed The Right To Co-Opt "Patriot"? #161

Why Have The Left Allowed The Right To Co-Opt "Patriot"? #161 #podcast - You ever notice the Right-wingers claim everything they do is "patriotic"? But fighting police brutality isnt..? Why is the Left silent on it's usage?

If you’ve spent enough time around a Trump voter or an alt-right Republican, you will have heard them speak about being a patriot or patriotism as if it freshened their breath the more they mentioned it. Somehow, after the Tea Party Patriotssplintered off and created their own movement in 2009, the word has traveled throughout the mouths of Conservatives in the mainstream a lot more. So, why have…

Is The 2nd Amendment More Valued Than Human Lives? #096 #znd - This #Podcast is a repeat but so are mass shootings. So, why do #Americans and the #PABPOTUS find guns to be more valuable than their own lives? Let's discuss!

Some sex toys give men compensation results.

Thanks to politicians scared to tackle the 2nd amendment, once again, America has awaken to another school tragedy where 17 students were gunned down by 19-year old Nikolas Cruz. There were 14 others injured and the difference here is the gunman was taken alive. But so what? The parents of the children who only wanted to go to school, hang with…

Cultural Identity In Media And Why It Matters #095

Cultural Identity In Media And Why It Matters #095 #znd > Black Panther and Coco are proof of #representation being important in Hollywood and media. So, why is it taking so long to make it more mainstream? Let's discuss!

With movies such as Cocoand Black Panther coming in theaters and presenting largely cultural casts and storylines outside of the usual caucasian-laced projects Hollywood, it’s proven a successful formula. Although this has been tried before with movies such as Roots (TV miniseries), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and Selena, the stories are often tragic, stereotypical, a biopic, historical or…

Why Is The Opioid Crisis Suddenly Important To America? #061

Why Is The Opioid Crisis Suddenly Important To America? #061 #znd - When the crack epidemic occurred, Reagan's weak "War on Drugs" just made the problem worse. With these opioids hitting rural areas, it's suddenly a "crisis". Why?

Opioid addiction has grown into a full-blown health crisis affecting this country. The question we are asking is “Why is this important to Americans now?” Politicians are suddenly changing their rhetoric from “Fighting the war on drugs” to “We must help Americans recover from opioid addiction.” Previous administrations, such as Nixon and Reagan, created their legacies by developing laws to…

We’ve all seen the headlines and gasped at how much settlements in divorces payout; especially in the Hollywood circles. Some of these people work their entire lives only to have their spouse take half or more than half. Some wonder what they’ve done to deserve this?

We Are Welcoming Our Son To The World Today! #160

We Are Welcoming Our Son To The World Today! #160 #znd - Today is the day we become first-time parents! Our son, #Lorenzo, will be born today and we're excited to make the announcement! Listen to our #podcast on how it began!

When I was in my teens, I had it all planned out: I’d go to college, get a job, meet someone, and by the age of 24, I’d have my first child. Um…yeah. I can’t speak for Drea but I haven’t been 24 years old for over 22 years. So, that plan went sideways. I got to go to college but never finished. Instead of a job, I created one which I still have in operation. And I’ve met a few women, some I’ve…

39 Weeks Pregnante and I'm Still Standing! Sharing the emotional and physical ride that will be ending soon.

Who Am I? Didn’t I just wake up an hour ago?

So, this is what being pregnant at 39 weeks is like? I can’t see my feet, heart burn is cranked up to fire breathing level, and feeling the constant pressure of arms and legs pushing out my belly stretching my skin like it’s made of playdough. The only pieces of clothing that are slightly comfortable are oversized dresses also known as tents and…

Sorry, but I Don't Want My Son Raised In The United States - Daddy Blog #06

I Don't Want My Son Raised In The United States - Daddy Blog #06 - With mass shootings, #whitesupremacistterrorism and #racistpresident trending, the state of the US is in disarray? Why raise my child here? Read my #daddyblog post.

I’ve been traveling abroad since I was 16 years old. Thanks to parents who ensured culture, history, and the desire to learn more was implemented into my life, I had a privileged upbringing. This was by design on my parent’s part and I recognized it early on when visiting my cousins and family members who grew up in harder parts of the United States – particularly where my parents grew up.
