Covid-19 Clinic for Balancing Our Minds

Covid-19 Clinic for Balancing Our Minds

These  knowledgeable clinical therapists joined us with insight and  practical tips to help us navigate and cope through the pandemic. Many people are struggling since we entered this unprecedented era, dealing with the coronavirus. 

Overthinking, fear of the unknown, isolation, helplessness are feelings and behaviors many are struggling with. We did our part today, in leaving words of support and encouragement to take care of ourselves and each other during this time. Humans are resilient, and with a little help from a therapist, we can bounce back from any tragedy this existence throws our way. I do hope you are enlightened and encouraged by this episode.

Examining the Science of Covid-19 with Dr. Betsy Cairo

Examining the Science of Covid-19 with Dr. Betsy Cairo

The Science. Live from Studio A at 5 PM Central with our esteemed former guest Dr. Betsy Cairo.

Enlightening and exciting conversation with this lady. She helped us understand nuanced information about the virus, related research, and most importantly distribution and implications of the Covid vaccine. 

We don't deal in conspiracy theory on Mental Speak, but rather in factual data gathered through anecdotal and sponsored research. We encourage humans to trust their innate judgment through observing life, and their intuition. We offer that in the case of Covid, it may be beneficial to take Western science with a grain of salt, in the context of human history and the governing institutions. 

Log on to www.fbrn.us on Sundays at 5PM Central or join the discussion on Facebook Live @mentalspeakradio and please tell a friend to tell a friend.

*We will be moving to Wednesdays beginning in March! Stay tuned for updates. Thank you for your support.

Making Sense of the Coronavirus Pandemic

Making Sense of the Coronavirus Pandemic

We had just returned to the studio after the national and state lockdown mandates for the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic of 2020. It was time to begin making sense of what we were experiencing. This episode takes us back to the early months of the confusion and fear. 

David Pierce of Pugilism and Politics joined me as we discussed the political landscape, medical and science aspects of coronoavirus, and shared what we understand the pandemic to mean on an individual and global level, based on the ancient teachings of elders that came before us. 


WE are back for 2021! Expect more dynamic dialogue, commentary, and analysis with guests. The difference is our focus is on elevation and the hereafter. We shall rise above all adversity with knowledge and application. Tell a friend to tell a friend to join the Mental Speak and Music Speak Radio show, Sundays at 5 PM Central. You can listen at www.fbrn.us or join us on Facebook Live.

Music Pioneer Bowlegged Lou of Full Force

Music Pioneer Bowlegged Lou of Full Force

For our first installment of the Music Speak broadcast, we were obliged to have a member of the illustrious R&B/hip hop singing bands, “Bowlegged Lou“ George, of Full Force. 


Lou is one of the six-member group, including his two brothers, Paul Anthony & B-Fine, along with cousins Baby Gerry, Curt-T-T & J-R Shy Shy. 

During promotion, many people were surprised to learn how wide their music production career has spanned, across genres and decades. In my observation, if Teddy Riley is the father of New Jack Swing, Full Force’s influence makes them the godfathers of the genre, given the ground-breaking fusion of R&B/hip hop sound they introduced to the world in 1984.

Lou, along with his brothers continues to give back to community through philanthropy and music, and are highly gracious for allowing us to celebrate their contribution to the culture and the soundtrack of our lives.

Be sure to tune in to the show Sundays, 5 PM Central at FBRN.US. Tell a friend to tell a friend.

A Conversation with The Mighty Sir Mix-A-Lot

A Conversation with The Mighty Sir Mix-A-Lot

Anthony Ray, also known as Sir Mix-A-Lot gave posses everywhere a tune to cruise down Broadway in your town; and unbeknownst to many, he gave women of color an anthem of Self-Love that has stood the test of time. He was gracious enough to grant us an interview before joining MC Hammer, Kid-N-Play, and a host of other Old School artists on stage at Hammer's House Party at the Toyota Music Pavilion in Irving that evening. It's these classic jams that make us reminisce to a more fun era, of cruising strips, and worshipping the derriere of Sistas everywhere.  

Tune in every Friday at 5PM Central FBRN.US on the Red Stream, and find the show on your favorite podcast platform including iHeart Radio, Spotify, TuneIn, Apple Music, and more. Tell a friend to tell a friend.

Raising Generation Z with Lisa Sugarman

Raising Generation Z with Lisa Sugarman

 

Guidance on raising iGen, aka Post-Millennials, aka Generation Zers. 

This episode we spoke with mother, syndicated columnist, speaker, and moderator LISA SUGARMAN. She is also author of the humor column “LIFE: It Is What It Is”, and the book  “Untying Parent Anxiety  (Ages 5-8)” , and “How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids...”         

Lisa and I shared a comfortable mom-to-mom chat about the challenges of raising the current generation of children.  Fear is the primary emotion of the era, propelled by that which was supposed to simplify life, technology. With her pragmatic insight, Lisa helped us to quell the fears and concerns, and inspired us to embrace the realities of the present with the mantra: "It is what it is."

Exploring Narcissism with Dr. Sam Vaknin

Exploring Narcissism with Dr. Sam Vaknin

He unequivocally asserts that humans have become increasingly narcissistic, relative to technology and the determination of social engineers. Dr. Sam Vaknin, writer and pioneering world renown expert on the topic of narcissism, gives us insight to the progression of narcissism in the collective society; and warns us of its pitfalls if we do not change course.

However, as is the mission of the show, he leaves us with information on his revolutionary, promising research and treatment of people with disorder. This episode will hopefully enlighten, and encourage introspection to facilitate behavioral changes, if only to make us more aware.

Comedy Icon and Legend Marsha Warfield

Comedy Icon and Legend Marsha Warfield

Comedian and actress Marsha Warfield was gracious to join us on the show to share her varied knowledge and wisdom of the social reality. 

She shared just a fraction of her life experience, journeying from her hometown of Southside Chicago to pursue an entertainment career in Los Angeles. As a member of the comedy cohort that included Richard Pryor, John Witherspoon, Paul Mooney, and Robin Williams to name a few, she is considered a comedy pioneer for the current comedy industry.

I urge you to have a pen and paper, or your Internet browser on standby, ready to research the many names of comedy predecessors she shares. We hope to have her on again in 2019 to once again pick her brain about her insight of not only comedy, but of the world. Enjoy and be enlightened. 

In the second hour, the very hilarious local Dallas-Ft. Worth comedian Angelia (Angela) Walker sits in for a few. Expect to see her in your city soon.

Author Sophia Stewart with Urban Intellectuals

Author Sophia Stewart with Urban Intellectuals

Author of "The Third Eye" and "Matrix 4 The Evolution: Cracking the Genetic Code," Sophia Stewart shared her story with us. She presented me with much literature to research prior to the broadcast, including court documents, and I have to say it is very compelling information that supports her claim of copyright infringement from the "Matrix" and "Terminator" franchises. 

Beyond the legal saga, Ms. Stewart is a very knowledgeable and interesting woman to interview. I hope to have her back in 2019 for some deeper discussion.


My Urban Intellectuals sidekick David Pierce joined me for some political and social commentary. And as always, music that moves me to aid our informational journey. Thank you for tuning in!

Bill Cosby's Public Relations Team Ebonee Watson and Andrew Wyatt

Bill Cosby's Public Relations Team Ebonee Watson and Andrew Wyatt



Ms. Ebonee Benson and Mr. Andrew Wyatt are the publicists for American stand-up comedian, actor, musician, and author Bill Cosby. They graciously allowed Mental Speak and Urban Intellectuals to provide a platform, in order to present unknown information concerning the historical timeline of events that led to his recent conviction of alleged sexual assault. They also provide us with an accurate update on his well-being and trial appeal.

Mental Speak, Urban Intellectuals, and Bill Cosby's PR team are committed to balanced representation of information that mainstream media simply has not, and cannot provide. Please understand that information is always for the taking, or leaving; however before formulating a perspective, accurate information is required. During this broadcast, you will find that if you already made final determination regarding this case, you lacked crucial information to do so. I urge you to receive new information. No emotional response is required before or after receipt.
