We talk about a lot in this episode, but none of it is more important than offering our prayers & condolences to the Burke Family, and showing gratitude to the bystanders and neighbours who rushed to the aid of those affected and the fire officers who gave it their all. 

In this week’s episode we discuss the influence of Brother Resistance on our music and culture. Terrance Deyalsingh clearly never heard about the power of the word in the rhythm of the word as he bumbled all over himself. Food is back open and we clearly heeded the words of the boss as we went back out to restaurants. Word is that food prices going up though. Angus falls short but has all the right words to get us to keep the faith. Wais d word with team TTO? And is Rowlers going to give his final word on mandatory vaccines?

Juneteenth is celebrated on the 19th of June in the US to commemorate emancipation but the Doc announced  Julyteenth on July 19th when  will finally be free to go to restaurants.

Angus Eve fired us up so much he even have West Indies beating people. Salute to Haiti as well for putting up a great fight in the Gold Cup in spite of the turmoil they’re facing at home. And even while our national and regional teams do so well people seem to be more interested in a match between the slave owners and the colonizers who, as usual, looking to prosper off the backs of black people. Our ancestors were proud of those misses!!Enjoy!!

This week’s episode is all about Optics. We check out some classics from the most famous eyes in calypso music as we discuss the optics of buying top shelf Mercedes & Prados while most businesses in the country can’t see their way. The opposition could use a second pair of eyes on their press releases. If their court clothes need cleaning they safe though. Bill Cosby might be partially blind but is Phylicia Rashard seeing clearly? Gary Griffith is headed for a second term despite blurry dealings with Trinidad football. How it go look when a man take the same side you had two weeks ago that couldn’t score and win his first match 6-1. But then again Angus Eve’s vision is for football while Fenwick’s eyes are probably better suited for UFC where head butts and elbows are legal.Enjoy!!

In this week’s episode we finally have a chance to discuss one of our favourite topics. Rum sweet rum!! Michael B Jordan might need to hit his own bottle to get through this product launch. Christiano Ronaldo is clearly a chaser waster. Rum solves most problems so maybe we can get Gary Griffith, Lasana Liburd & Rhoda Bharath to make peace.

This week’s episode is in celebration of pride month.We discuss a very prideful young man who refuses to be with baby mamas that ain’t too proud to beg. A police man and and former calypso monarch seems to have got caught up in a very pride filled threesome. Two men made love and went 8 rounds in a boxing ring. We have Soca Warriors team and coach who has no pride. Has the COP’s pride for his son’s call up to the national team gone overboard? Can’t be anything but proud of Naomi Osaka for her stance against the machine.  And much more….Enjoy!!

This week’s episode is livelicated to the great Hazel Scott. We might laugh at the wax figures of David Rudder & Calypso Rose but we appreciate that our legends are honored and immortalized in a way that we simply don’t do enough of locally.

When Kitchener wrote the hook “Anytime is Trinidad Time” he was surely referring to the daily press conference that can never seem to start on time! But time matters not now as we’re under an SoE with restrictions that weren’t released on time. With a curfew in place and limited movement allowed during the day, all of a sudden, people in the duck work capital of the world need to be on the job. May 23rd was supposed to be the easing of restrictions but is now earmarked as a time for prayer. Kejan Haynes offers Peter George 5 minutes and is a no show. Is it time up for Joe Budden? All in all it’s a rough time in the country and we’re asking everybody to stay safe and don't………..Enjoy!!

They always tell us laugh & cry does live in the same house. In this week’s episode we shed a tear with Deyalsingh as the numbers rise. We laugh for Easter but we crying now. We look abroad for some good news & talk about Chappelle’s on the Joe Rogan Podcast; I laugh when I saw what Will Smith looks like now but he’ll snap back and leave me crying. Trinidad’s Futsal team is laugh & cry self. Tears of joy as the Barney half of the Burdie & Barney show takes up a coaching role in Taiwan. Enjoy!

In this week’s episode we all  Fed Up. We fed up of Covid, Rowlers fed up of us, the business community fed up of him, and Kamla & The Opposition ain’t fed up? Bill Gates fed up of his wife.

We also take a look at fake job interviews; why you should love the Horner man; the Derek Chauvin conviction and much more…

Happy 420!! The Covid numbers seem to be celebrating 420 as they’re as high as last year around this time. Vaccine fear mongering is surely making me paro as we approach 20 thousand people vaccinated. This might be our last 420 as Fitzgerald Hinds is made the head of National Security and might well roll back marijuana decriminalization to stop us all from becoming pipers. Clearly everyday is 420 for Philip Alexander but maybe he needs to check his dosage. Personally, I might be hallucinating as I saw visions of my neighbours calling the police for me and my dog blowing out candles and having birthday cake.

In this week’s episode we send aid and open up our borders to St Vincent with love and keep them in our prayers.We wish Dr. Rowley a speedy recovery as the news of him contracting Covid came out just after the last episode was published.
