S2 E15 | How Mu¢h you Sacraficing for your relationship?

In light of the 2020 Riots stemming from the brutal killing George Floyd(Yet another unarmed Black man killed by the police) Saani gives his true takes on race in our country. He encourages Black people to talk openly with people of other cultures about said events(11:40).  Dear White People am I equal(16:45). He also acknowledges the FIGHT that is taking place and encourages those to fight however they see fit.(21:46).  In the  new fast paced world we exist in our priorities as well as most other things feel rushed and out of sorts. This is a direct result of what we are taught as well as what we are taught to revere. Paper is too respected in our culture(31:27). But Where does your health rank on your priority list? On a daily basis we nevermind our heath in favor of what we are "suppose to be " doing or what we want to do, in the long run this has a extreme negative effect on us and takes away the journey of life.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitabuckpodcast/support

You're only as Wealthy as you are Healthy! | S2 E14

"Reality is what's Real, not what it's supposed to be" From American's salary to their dating there are certain standards of the way things are "Supposed to be", so much so that lying or neglecting ones actual self has become a lifestyle for many.  "Your Wife cheated, you gotta leave her" .......right?(26:20). Saani puts this in example form when he investigates the 'Good Morning Queen' era (33:34). Sanni suggest that posting lies online is the easiest way to Lose who you are in Reality(43:46), even suggesting that couples spend more time trying to act happy then actually making the relationship a happy one(44:45).  Music Travis Scott: Sicko Mode Kehlani: Nunya(Feat DOM KENNEDY) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitabuckpodcast/support

Reality Check | S2 E13

Could there be any connection between the lack of Black fathers in the house hold and our lack of heritage? Saani theorizes the posed question, but not before he reminds of what "Walking to the Store" was like(9:28). The basis of his theory centered on the youthfulness of the race itself, the African American Race being just over 400 years old(16:45).  Going on to explain how history is best transmitted through story(31:34), but if you don't have anyone there to tell you the stories then you start to create your own based on surface things(39:05). He ends by supporting the thing that was once heavily relied upon in our communities which was enter acting and complying as a village instead of just a neighbor(41:40), OG's play a big role in this(44:20) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitabuckpodcast/support

What is a Goal? | S2 E 10

In our culture often times we tend to nevermind others problems if it doesn't quite effect us as much. What one problem is to one group may not be a problem to another. Respect the the underlying principle when addressing problems and how people on each end of the spectrum should address and receive them.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitabuckpodcast/support

S2 | Episode 9 | The Mountain Vs The Mole

Platonic friends is a term that is often misused as well as misunderstood. The societal pressures that have been created by our dishonesty, greed and lack of character ultimately have led us to distrust. Because of this when in a relationship, significant others often have the tendency to take issue with the friend seeing them as a threat. Having friends of the opposite isn't a bad thing, in fact I believe it is a vital part of being a well rounded member of our society. Trust is the overbearing guideline to any friendship and platonic relationships defer none.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitabuckpodcast/support

S2 Episode 8 | That's Just My Fraaaaaaaaan(Having friends of the opposite sex)

Relationships consist of two equal parts merging to improve on their original form. Humans are all made different so this can often be a challenge. Relationships take patience, dedication, understanding and sacrifice. That being said there will be some things you do, say or ways in which you think that may need to be tailored to fit your relationship and your partners needs. The slippery slope is when you can no longer constitute the adjustments as tailoring and they start to look more like a mutation as where you can't even identify whom you were previous to the relationship.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitabuckpodcast/support

S2 Episode 7 | Relationship Issues-Changing VS Adapting

Our social status has become the Pinnacle of our goals. Instead of wanting to be something for ourselves we have altered our priority list to be what others want us to be. That being said something that keeps us from that realm in which we seek is considered weak or a sign of inadequacy. Certain symptoms of Depression happen in life, its natural. Whats unnatural is suppressing them to hide your vulnerabilities to remain.."Cool'. The Coolest thing you can be on this earth is yourself.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitabuckpodcast/support

S2 Episode VI | The Great Depression

Knowledge of the world has only grown more vast with the ages. Subsequently we have never been further away from ourselves. Searching within is a practice rarely taught and applied even more scarcely. That why it is no wonder we try to keep things from others, mainly ourselves which also leads us to falsely believe we can hide things from God. We’ve configured a way to keep the rest of the world out and only allow our brain to register the things about ourselves that we want presented, a false reality. Well guess what, God doesn’t live in your reality, your head nor does he play by your rules. It’s time to give back whats owed to him, fortunately for us all that is is just fully trusting in him and having a direct line of communication to ask for forgiveness along with the other things we want. I urge you to keep it a Bu¢k with God and he will do the same with you.  Music: Artist : Alicia Keys Song: You don’t know my name Artist:Young Clancy Song: Take me 2 Artist: Fifth Harmony Song: Work Remix Artist: Duke Ellington and The Washingtonians Song: East St. Louistoodle Artist: J.

Keep it a Bu¢k Podcast | S2 Episode V | Be your Own Tattle Tell

Society has reduced the imagination to be a stage of adolescents. I argue that it’s not a juvenile feature at all. Sure we all discover we have imaginations as kids, but some where along the way we are taught or suggested to leave them with the things of our childhood. Your imagination is limitless, it’s also one of the only things that can’t be restricted. Personally I believe that each and everyone of us has a unique perspective and gifts provided by God, that being said its important to note I don’t think it could be accessed without using your imagination.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/keepitabuckpodcast/support

Keep it a Bu¢k Podcast | S2 Episode 4 | Imagine That

Do you have what it takes? What a cliche line right……or is it. The things that we feel we’re obligated to do sometimes get in the way of what we want to and should be committed to. That being said I’d be remise if I didn’t mention just because they get in the way doesn’t mean they stop us. The choice not to do something is just that, a choice. When your commitment to something is so strong it enslaves you than and only than can you say you tried. If you examine the best it is evident that they all made major sacrifices in the pursuit of their craft, that sacrifice is….commitment.

Relationships comprise of separate entities combing to co-exist if not make each other better. So why do we often times fight our placement in such equations?
