Conscious drops info on art shows ending in the city.

Wake up, and take a deep breath, and maybe say “motherf&*%” if you have to. Whatever you need to do, you do it, and go a little more from there.

We are a show that advocates for self-care. So remember that holding on to anger is not good for you. Let go of it, air people out, it’ll do you some good. #AirOutWednesday TK starts out the morning by bringing shade with the universal food combo: chicken and rice. Every culture has it, but we’ll throw you some shade if you’re not cooking it good. We also have an early air out: Don’t be weird to strangers.

It’s impossible to make the world approve of everything you do, so why stress too much about it. #AirOutWednesday@TKinTheAM is live every M-W-F 10-1130am EST on bondfireradio.com and tunein app. Sameday replays 7pm EST also available on Apple Podcasts, GooglePodcasts, Spreaker, and Spotify!If you really like us, leave a review on Apple Podcast that’d be really cool.http://geturshirt.com And help us keep the lights on, be awesome and support us through our PayPal or become a Patreon.https://www.paypal.me/BondfireRadio https://www.patreon.com/bondfireradioRUNDOWN0:00 #SONG: E-Pro · Beck 3:40 #Intro: Chicken and rice; Early Air Outs; 12:10 #SONG: YAYO · Pharoahe Monch 15:16 #NewsYouCanUse: R Kelly officially under investigation; Child marriage law overturned in Florida; 26:05 #CLIP: “Why does the US have so many child brides” from the BBC34:30 #NewsYouCanUse: Cyntoia Brown to be released; 44:23 #Clip: 45 on the wall47:40 #NewsYouCanUse: 7 Takeaways from 45’s speech57:02 #SONG: Picking You - Young Fathers60:16 #ChatroomCheckIn: Air Outs; Parents; Hair#Outro

There’s Ls taken in life, but sometimes they’re necessary, not so we can put our head in the sand, but so we can weed the negativity out. Take care of the negative, move forward with the positive. #AffirmationFriday We start out the show with good news. TK is about to become Professor TK, so let’s get her elbow patches. Also, before we get into the topic, how do you survive the bad of the world? Because we’re tackling #Surviving R Kelly head on.

Bernie Sanders apologizes for the sexist treatment in his campaign during 2016 run. Lifetime aired “Surviving R Kelly” and the reactions is creating a type of polarity. Our show today had a heavy focus on the R Kelly documentary series on Lifetime. This isn’t a new issue (See Boondocks in 2004) but it’s one that many have put aside just for the music. There’s layers and other types of tricks to this, but we hit them straight with the help of our friend, Kierra Leone. And finally, we leave on some affirmations to pick the energy up, be #AffirmationFriday @TKinTheAM is live every M-W-F 10-1130am EST on bondfireradio.com and tunein app. Same day replays 7pm EST also available on Apple Podcasts, GooglePodcasts, Spreaker, and Spotify!
