Gumbo Talk: I'm black & I'm proud

January 22, 2021 02:00 - 8 minutes - 6.75 MB

Unapologetically me. The sense of oneness I have with myself amd how I was created at one point disturbed me. It took experience more of people that look like me to embrace why I was created this way. Although not very popular institutionally, my very walk and the way I talk is admired by nearly every other culture across the globe. It has become fascinating to watch the reprehensible behavior toward be actually respectful misunderstanding. I am black and I will die thus way. It seems some co...

January 15, 2021 02:00 - 58 minutes - 53 MB

We know that being honest with others is an honorable trait. It often comes with not being as popular as we'd like. However, being honest with ourselves is more important. Having the gumption and gall to lay it all on the line to be true to ourselves is what we were created to realize. We are not perfect, but there is a place for us. If you're a square stop trying to fit in someone else's circle. If you're blue stop trying to be red. We talk leadership, following, and all things in between on...

Sicilian/Southern Italian Code of Silence, willful disobedience to law enforcement investigations, being aware enough to deflect unwanted attention from yourself, your operations, & your family. This is an innate characteristic, some could say an evolutionary tactic of silence and humility dating back to before Facist tyranny swept most of Italy pre ww2 when even average citizens had to keep hush to survive. Furthermore, Omertà is still the code of silence (or code of “humility,” as Omertà tr...

Gumbo Talk: Jail ain't necessary

December 25, 2020 02:00 - 44 minutes - 40.1 MB

It took me 4 days to convince myself that this was the topic for a Christmas Eve airing of a Live Podcast for the Gumbinos. I have had a lot of communications about life behind bars lately. I am convinced that most of us could utilize the great talents we have for much more fruitful and legal ways to get to our goals.
