The Great Divide Podcast74 MillionToday we delve into the reason why, when Trump had nothing to show for it, 74 million people still voted for him. It's really not difficult to surmise. But I wanted to go in-depth about how a person who has failed as miserably as Trump did at being ANYTHING (his failure doesn't only apply to the presidency, it extends to life in general) could garner so much support. We start from the macro and get into the minute details of the micro.

In it I described what going through a mid-life crisis is like and how to tell you're in one. In that show I spoke of a friend who was going through that part of his life. Well, it turns out, that story has a surprise twist ending.

...2020-11-2700 minThe Great Divide Podcast1861 - 2077A week ago today we celebrated one of the most underrated holidays of the year. In fact, it's so undervalued a lot of you may have missed it, as we observed it on a Thursday. (Don't most holidays occur on Mondays?) So I wanted to take the time and give Veterans day more time than we tend to give it on it's actual holiday. And to any service members listening... Thank you for your sacrfice. I mean it!

So I recorded an addendum to describe what I felt was missing from the original content. I started the show with the intention of doing the show on one topic not realizing I was talking about a similar but altogether different topic.

It was right out of a 1970s horror movie. Tonight I revisit that show as well as add on my thoughts about where in this movie we currently are. It's super fitting that Halloween and the election were so close together because this past four years has been nothing but a horror show.

I will need to follow up this show with a second part in order to bring my thoughts on this full circle.

The Great Divide PodcastOn Our WatchI believe that in season one of this how I told the story of why I left the Republican Party, and while I am not a Democrat, I lean Democratic now. In this episode, I am going to run you through why my stance on capital punishment changed. I used to be aggressively anti-capitol punishment and now I am completely pro-death penalty. I explain why and how on this show.

In fact, our president doesn't really know anything about women other than stanks, so to find out that one of his stanks is also a grifter just like he is, it's not news. But I explored it anyways.

Over this past weekend Blotus was diagnosed with COVID and spent time at Walter Reed Hospital as a result. Before we find out whether he's going to live or die I just wished to make my feelings known about the whole thing and even for the people who know me, I don't think I feel what y'all might think I feel. So let's take a few minutes and dissect this.

Something happened earlier today that not only reminded me of something that happened 30 years ago, but it may have put it in a dire context that may have been missing when I was a kid. Today I tell that story and I welcome any feedback you may have about it, even though it might not paint me in the best light.

I realize we always have a lot of important stuff to cover on this show but since it's my birthday I've decided to tell you one of my favorite stories from my childhood. You're welcome! :)

Since there are so many new listeners, there's no time like the present to revisit a classic show. Things have not changed since then. If anything, they've gotten worse.

2020-07-2314 minThe Great Divide PodcastLinusJust a little something that was on my heart to say. I'm am still feeling ambiguous about this topic. It has to do with my father and what I call him and what other people call theirs. I also talk about my instagram habits in detail. There is only one useful purpose I have for instagram. LOL.

That is important because now I'm beginning to hear other people make the same assertion I made. I heard a story, and right away my spidey senses started tingling and my red flag went up. From the moment I first heard the story I found it suspect for one specific reason. So I recorded it... Now other people are echoing what I said but for a different reason. In any case, this is a situation where we need to get the ish right so I'd love to hear from you and weigh your...2020-05-0418 minThe Great Divide PodcastWhat About Me?Coronavirus! Coronavirus! It's getting real. Shit is getting real!!! LOL. Don't worry, that's not what the topic of this show is today. That's just the new theme song for season 3. Today we delve into the world of politics (which Thank God because) don't nobody feel like listening to me talk about race today. Race is only kinda related but this election season is turning into a hot bubbling mess, so I wanted to apply a little wisdom to it.

I got to see it live as it happened but there was a black journalist who was there that witnessed it and she describes this particular incident perfectly.

It is an aural presentation of my Anthropology 416: Scientific Racism final project from 2018. I did get a perfect score on it (4.0) and it was moving enough that someone who saw it online invited me to give a talk at their establishment.

I know it's difficult but the things you don't teach your children, they will pick up second hand. The things you don't tell them, someone else will. In this Mini I tell about my experience doing this very thing, maybe a week ago.

I felt like I needed to explain the animals vs slaves paradox a little bit further. It was off topic for the point I was driving home about how I feel about animals but not long enough to do a whole show about. So hit me up and let me know what you think of this little gem.

This quick first episode is meant to be an orientation to what Revisited is. Whenever there is a deep topic on the regular TGD show and I think about it and have more to add later, that is the purpose of TGD: Revisited. We are dropping the first five episodes of revisited on the regular TGD feed but after the fifth, the rest will continue to go live on the TGD Premium feed as they (and TGD (mini)) are meant to be perks for Premium subscribers as a thank you for their continued support.

TGD (mini) is everything that the regular TGD is but in bite sized pieces. So you will still get the same topics, punch, humor and rawness that comes with TGD but the mini episodes will be shorter. They are intended to keep you sane in between the regular shows. The first five minis are being posted to the regular feed, however, after the fifth episode you will have to subscribe to TGD premium as they are a feature that are meant to be for premium members. The regular feed will always be free...2019-08-1102 minThe Great Divide PodcastTwo Chimps and an ElephantTwo chimps and an elephant walk into a bar and the bartender says...

Presently there is a lot of migrating feeds and other administration going on in the background in preparation for the new model.

This is one of the longer shows I have recorded and is basically a series of short episodes I have had in this area since I’ve been here. Towards the end I have an unexpected guest that actually had me cut my thoughts short, so the episode would’ve been longer but it’s cool. I am happy with how it came out. Enjoy!

That is part of the reason why I chose to study it post-secondary. However, the way my studies have gone, they connect mostly at the social angle of technology. I am pursuing a law degree with an emphasis on three areas: criminal, civil rights and technology. In preparing for law school I did my undergrad in sociology. What that means is that in regards to tech I study people’s behavior.

They might not’ve lost their lives but many come back having lost something, and in a lot of cases, something significant. A small way to help our vets while helping the people is the focus on today’s show. Killing two birds with one stone.
