Let's get into crying. Part of the anti-masculine movement is to promote more emotion from men. Is that a good thing? What does a man look like who does cry often? Should you, as a man, allow yourself displays of crying? Does a lack of crying show a man as uncaring? R&B also gets into self-evident truths, such as what Ben Franklin wrote in the Declaration of Independence. Look out for the following episode about truth and the nine veils.

Join Reggie and Brian as we discuss the 2024 presidential election and the attitudes, anger, and what is not being communicated between the right and left appreciation for immigrants. Yes. We need to close the border, but we also need to make immigration possible for hard-working families to be able to come into this country and contribute to the greatness of the U.S. R&B dig a bit into baptism.

Anyone with any sense would say that was a poor showing by both candidates, definitely not like the statemen of old. Join Reggie and Brian as they discuss the debate and discuss the supernatural: aliens, demons, angels, oh my!

How does God deal with evil?
