On episode 48 of Pops and Socks we want to send our most sincere apologies to our viewers and listener because this was the most chaotic episode we have filmed. Between excessive screaming and kids running back and fourth (at times with no clothes on) we try to have a productive episode talking about criticizing kids in youth sports, Juneteenth, and what it took for POC to attain voting rights. Hold tight and fun with this episode, and remember this is POPS and Socks so there would be no POPS without the kids.

We are reunited and it feels so good to be together for episode 45 of Pops and Socks. Bakari opened up his home and couch for us to have another amazing conversation for you all. After checking in with each other on how our lives are going at the moment we open the floor up to the question of “does the occupation of your spouse matter”? Is your attraction tied to what he or she does for a living and can their job be a Red Flag for your relationship? After that we discuss how we feel about living with your significant other before you make the commitment to wed them. Is it wrong and what are the risk if there are any? Lastly we each take turns to chat about working to our full purpose/potential. Inspired by Eric Thomas’s book “You Owe You”, what does working to your full potential look like to you? Are you on track or do you need to make a few audibles.

On this Stand out BONUS EPISODE of Pops and Socks we let you in on a behind the scenes Conversations between the fathers. The Hot Topic in question

is (Do God be Cussin)? We are torn because some believe that God can use expletives to grab our attention and others believe that it isn’t possible for a loving God to use such language. To give you some context, on The Basement (a podcast hosted by Tim Ross) one of his friends who was in the process of overcoming a drug addiction said he had an encounter in rehab where God told him to “Let that B**** die”. Listen in on this heated behind the scenes Bonus Episode as we give our viewpoints on the given topic.

We would love to have your feedback and thoughts posted in the comments below.
