We are back! After a long hiatus, the podcast is back! Have you ever looked back on something fondly, and you have that overwhelming sense of loss or nostalgia because that person or place is absent? That is what we explore in this episode. My guest Tyler and I discussed some of our prior relationships and how things might have been different or even better. We also discuss dating in general and how things are a little rough out there. https://www.instagram.com/barelyqualified/ https://www.facebook.com/Barelyqualified https://www.youtube.com/@barelyqualifiedtm Music by: https://soundcloud.com/artfuldaza Art by: https://www.instagram.com/rikkananavani/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These are three unalienable rights granted to us by the Declaration of Independence. However, as a nation, we have been missing the mark on liberty. This week's episode has my good friend Steven Fryson, and we discuss a myriad of topics such as abortion, police shootings, Jaylen Walker, adoption, foster care, and more. There has been an escalating level of frustration with the things we are witnessing, and we just wanted to have a vent session with one another. If you are on board with that or are feeling similar frustrations, have a listen. Send this over if you know someone else who might feel this way. Sometimes it's nice to hear other people may be sharing the same feelings you have. www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified https://www.gunviolencearchive.org

Why do we continue to change the standard of what is considered beautiful as a society? Why do we stay inside toxic friendships/relationships way longer than we need to? How many licks does it take until you get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? We attempt to answer these questions and more inside this week's episode of Barely Qualified! www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

It's another episode of the BQ podcast! In this one, we catch up with Jay and Jacob! It has been over a year and a half since I have spoken to Jay so definitely wanted to spend some time with him to see how he has been coping throughout lockdown and the pandemic we have all been experiencing. This wasn't as much of a perpetual lightning round as we have had previously, just a couple of guys talking through our previous past few months. www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

It has been a long time. We know. We know. I know you might have questions like where have you been for the past few months, and why have you just now decided to put out a new episode. One, watch your tone, and two it's because it's something serious that I feel that we need to discuss. Vaccine hesitancy has been at an all-time high with covid vaccines that were released earlier in the year. Kipp, Steven, and I take this time to discuss our frustrations with individuals who refuse to get the shot. www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified Intro Music thanks to Denitsu!!!

What is grief if not love persevering? A character from a top-rated series that just aired on Disney Plus uttered these words, but no matter who uttered the phrase, these words have continued to stick with me. We all know there is a certain inevitability to this life that we live. Even knowing that this existence will end, we go on day by day pretending that it won't. Our jobs, friends, and even family can be taken for granted. That is why when something like the loss of a parent happens, it suddenly puts life into ultra focus. Trenden Padgett was on this week's episode, and we discussed this very subject, what it was like to lose a parent. We spoke candidly about our experiences with losing someone responsible for our entire existence on this planet. The heartache, the inconsolable moments, all of that, and more is what is in store for you throughout the next hour and forty-eight minutes. A huge thank you again to Trenden for surprising me with this topic, but I am forever grateful to share this conversation with him. www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

This week's episode involves following your passion, facing your fears, non-sponsored gore-induced violence, and two men talking about their beliefs! Scott Warner was on this week's show and shed some light on why he got into acting, why in the era of covid people are still idiots, and shared some awesome information about his weekly podcast (Old Ass Movie Reviews). Scott is a man of many talents as he has written, directed, acted, and produced multiple film projects. In that same vein, we spoke about his work in two recent horror movies and some other projects that he has been working on going into 2021. It was a pleasure to have him on Barely Qualified, and it won't be the last time you hear Scott Warner on BQ! www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified Old Ass Movie Reviews: http://spoti.fi/3rqe1so Scott's IMDB page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6773470/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1 Song of Solomon: https://amzn.to/3bkN0kp Backwoods: https://amzn.to/30iWbeL

This week's episode was a lot of fun. Alyssa Harmadi and Kayla Herring stopped by and we had a few drinks and a lot of laughs. The discussion ranged from mental health in the era of covid 19. How we all basically lost an entire year of our lives due to this pandemic. A lot of the discussion hemmed on us speaking candidly about our childhoods, and how things that happened in our childhoods can shape who we are today in society. This is the first part of a multiple-part series so be sure to follow/subscribe to the show so you can hear the next episodes as they are released! www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Here is a bonus bit from the previous conversation that I had with Alysha Johnson! Most of it stems from us talking about eating ass. Yes. You read that correctly. Most of this conversation involves food and eating ass. How we made it to this point... I have no idea. Alas, here we are! Enjoy! www.facebook.com/barelyqualified www.spreaker.com/barelyqualified Twitter: Barely_Q Instagram: Barelyqualified Snapchat: BarelyKoalified

Sometimes the stars align, and you finally make a thing happened that you have been waiting to happen for a very long time. Alysha Johnson was on the show this week, and I had an excellent time recording the show with her. We touched on topics from loss of loved ones, covid lockdowns, children growing up in isolation, and overall contentedness in life. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but so much was discussed, it wouldn't fit inside of this description! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed providing it for you. If you do enjoy this week's podcast offering, check-in later on this week for a bonus episode where Alysha and I go off the deep end for an additional thirty minutes! It is definitely worth a subscription and or a follow!
