After, a much appreciated, positive response from the raza… we carry on into episode 3.
Just as everyone gets a little more comfortable behind the mic, the world is supposed to end…WTF. Luckily, the end times were rescheduled… the show goes on. We do a quick pass on how men should be treating their women and somehow, don’t ask how, that segues into an all star softball moment.
We discuss the disasters that are wrecking havoc and destroying people’s lives. This leads to some heavy topics, yeah we don’t shy away. We get into the disaster that is our president and of course that leads us to a talk about racism. Yeah… it gets deep. And you know where this is going end up… it’s the end of the world!
All this heavy discussion takes us to another obvious place, Halloween stories and someone being haunted. Thrown in for good measure, some stories from a trip to Peru.
Thanks for listening and stay tuned…
Btw…
Let’s take a moment and talk about something very real…

I saw this on FB and thought it’d be informative in regards to why NFL players are kneeling.
–Someone Named Katie Navarro posted this and I think it’s so important People understand what taking a knee
Really means.
“In the armed forces, you take a knee when you are tired and need assistance. In sports, you take a knee when your teammate on the field is injured. A man will take a knee to ask for a woman’s hand in partnership. In times of need, we get on our knees to pray.
We have a president who tweets before he thinks; who calls people “sons of b*****s”; and yet is silent on the actual cause for the need to kneel. His residency in our country’s most revered house has allowed a portion of our country to feel like taking a knee is equivalent to burning the flag, when it is not. Taking a knee is a plea for justice and equality, not a shout of arrogance. It’s giving a notice that we are injured and divided, and not a sign of weakness or elitism. It is a request for partnership and recognition of our common humanity. It is a call for prayer and unity and not a disrespectful move against our country’s democracy, that was, in fact, fought so courageously for by all colors and races.
Yes the athletes today are taking a public stand. They are kneeling, linking arms with public servants, and saluting with heads bowed. They are not turning their back to the flag or the anthem. Because if we stay silent about the things that matter, when will things change? If I take a knee on some field somewhere, no one would ever know or care. But when people who have a larger influence decide to use it in a passive and peaceful way, it makes a much bigger impact and sends a message to the top that things need to change. Or would you rather just comment on and gossip about and emulate their clothes and homes and cars? Does that matter more to you?
When we are just as angry about a forced and unjust knee in our brothers’ back as we are about a peaceful but powerful knee on the field, we won’t have to take a knee anymore.”
That is a great post, thanks for sharing.
People should also consider the fact that a former Green Beret and player, Nate Boyer, convinced Kaepernick that taking a knee was more peaceful and meaningful than sitting on the bench. Yes, a vet suggested taking a knee.
One other thing to consider is the paid patriotism a Senate report found. Where the DoD spent millions for teams to organize displays of national pride.
Just some more food for thought.
Take him to the Indio Amazonico!
