Welcome to CrumpTalks, where I, King Crump, talk my talk, mostly educated, sometimes ratchet, always authentic and honest. More often than not it’ll be just me, other times I’ll have some friends along for the convo.
Arguing with Idiots
On today's episode of the podcast I talk about arguing with idiots, and how it's a pretty idiotic thing to get caught up doing.  I share a story about a recent "debate" I had with somebody I had no business debating, what I learned from it, and how I could have handled myself better.  Like normal I share some quotes, and how they apply.   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingcrump/message

School isn't for Smart People
In today's episode I discuss what we commonly call "education" and where it comes from, as well as how after working in K-12 Education for nearly a decade, I don't think school is good measure of success or even "good" for our kids.  I think schooling as it exists is more about creating an obedient citizen, as opposed to nurturing and developing the genius of our youth.  It's my longest episode to date, and I'll likely have more on the topic in the future, but I hope you enjoy it.  Below are some links to some resources that I mentioned in the episode Scholar Noam Chomsky "Education is Indoctrination for the Young" Former Educator and Author John Taylor Gatto "The Purpose of Schooling" --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingcrump/message

Popeyes Chicken Sandwich for the W!?!
In today's episode we do a couple things, first off I teach you a surefire way to get turned down by women, and secondly I discuss the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich.  The sandwich is fire, but more importantly it's become a cultural phenomenon and I discuss how that relates to how the media frames the narrative of the sandwich.  Below I have some links to a couple people I reference in the episode, Sarah Baartman was a Black woman who was kept in captivity and made to perform in a "freak show" due to her big ol booty (and the savagery of the Europeans who kidnapped her) .   Kevin Davis was the man who was murdered in a Maryland Popeyes restaurant, turns out that the narrative of him being murdered over the sandwich is some nonsense. Saartje (Sarah) Baartman  Kevin Davis Story "Friends of man stabbed to death at Popeyes say it was not over a chicken sandwich" --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingcrump/message

The Economics of Sex
TRIGGER WARNING - If you're offended by cuss words, discussion of promiscuity, and general trillness, this episode isn't for you. On this episode I talk about the economics of sex, and how having an abundant supply directly impacts the demand for it.  I detail how I came to realize that having access to sex whenever I wanted wasn't healthy, and how as a man promiscuity was a manifestation of depression.  Appreciate ya checking me out. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingcrump/message

Finding and Living Your Purpose
Thank you all for checking me out, in this episode I talk about how it's less about "finding" your purpose, and more about living it.   I can honestly sum this episode in a quote by the German Philosopher Nietzsche  "I just don't seem to have a compass to tell me what I'm destined for... And yet in looking back everything seems to fit so well that it's as if a guiding spirit has been showing me the way." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingcrump/message

Wrasslin, Readin, Arguing, and Elephants...
SH!T YEAH!  On today's episode I talk about how arguing can be a waste of my time, and that listening to understand can help avoid arguments.  Arguing is all about perspective, and if we can understand someone's perspective we can be better served.  I discuss an Indian parable about elephants and how it relates to this, talk about "idiots" (said it at least 5 times), and talk my trash. Thanks for tuning in! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kingcrump/message
