Carlos Bocanegra: Big Dookie’s Musical Rides and Monstercade
It’s About GD Time Show
02/27/24 • 71 min
Join the laughter and nostalgia train as we sit down with Carlos Bocanegra—better known as Big Dookie—for a rollercoaster ride through Winston Salem's musical landscape. Picture this: gritty neighborhoods, the ghost of Mad Dog 2020, and the pulsating beat of an underground music scene that refuses to fade. From the iconic stages of the '90s to the innovative vibes of our beloved Monstercade, we traverse history, art, and the quirkiest of local lore. Carlos brings the heat with tales that are bound to keep you hooked, and our shared memories might just have you reaching for that vinyl collection or, dare we say, a retro bottle of Ripple.
Ever wondered why R&B and hip-hop talents from Winston don't hit the mainstream like their folk and jazz counterparts? We don't just ask; we explore the undercurrents of a scene rich with unsung heroes and venues that dare to defy norms. Tia Corine's leap from our stage to the grand platforms of Coachella exemplifies the dreams and drive that pulse through our city's veins. Meanwhile, the conversation takes a turn through the intersection of art and community values, where a local muralist's brush with city censorship paints a vivid picture of the shifting perspectives on artistic expression as we mature.
Pour yourself a tropical drink and bask in the anticipation of a Mesoamerican Tiki bar experience like no other, set to charm Winston Salem in 2024. But before you get too comfortable, heed our words of wisdom about the fiery flash cubes of yesteryear's Polaroid cameras—a cautionary tale amidst a jovial chat on the evolution of technology. As we bid farewell to Carlos Bocanaga, it's not just the music that leaves its mark, but the camaraderie and the groovy essence of a conversation that dances between hearty guffaws and profound revelations.

It’s About GD Time Show
10/23/23 • 56 min
From the congressional halls of America to the back alleys filled with feral cats, we've got an episode that promises to deliver a hearty mix of political intrigue and the peculiar!
We kick things off by dissecting Jim Jordan's unsuccessful Speaker bid and navigate the tumultuous waters of the political system that's more akin to a game of numbers than a democratic process. Hear the inside scoop on a potential feud between Kevin McCarthy and Matt Gaetz, and how their actions eerily mirror those of Alexander Hamilton and John Adams. GC still hasn't seen Hamilton... C'mon, man!
We then take a plane and land in the heart of international issues. We delve into the complex saga of the Israel-Palestine conflict and highlight the worrying surge of anti-Semitism and anti-Arabic sentiment among Ivy League students.
We also examine President Biden's position on the Israel-Hamas conflict and the broader implications of military engagements in Taiwan and a possible war with China? What is happening?
But what's a discussion without some surprise elements? From politics, we switch gears by shedding light on the controversial behavior of a certain Prime Minister's boyfriend and question societal double standards when it comes to gender roles.
Then on to the odd and alarming trend of cat attacks across certain locales. We discuss the far-reaching effects of Bob Barker's initiative to spay and neuter cats and ponder if his death, and the loss of that message, may have inadvertently contributed to this problem. Buckle up, tune in, and prepare for an episode that's as diverse as it's engaging!

As the conversation flows, we find ourselves knee-deep in the turmoil that is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We dissect the Israeli military's dangerous door-to-door strategy, Egypt's refusal to provide refuge, and the U.S.'s diplomatic efforts. Questions arise - Are both sides responding proportionately? What's the role of the U.S. military in the area?
Our gaze then shifts to the political machinations involved in the Israel-Palestine conflict. We delve into the actions of the Israeli military, the hardships endured by the Palestinians, and the theories surrounding the attack on Israel.

This episode floats on a sea of religious differences, dissecting the role of faith in the Israel-Palestine conflict, and how it's often exploited to fuel violence. We spotlight the ominously echoing historical tensions between Islam and Judaism, questioning the seemingly eternal discord that prevails. A philosophical flavor is added to our narrative as we toy with the tragic possibility of an impending world war and its catastrophic religious implications – the very thought of which sends shivers down our spines.
We then set sail to the shores of American politics, speculating how a potential ascension of Jim Jordan to the Speaker of the House could shape US-Israel relations.
However, we swiftly segue into the world of music, scrutinizing the controversial actions of rapper Kevin Gates and pondering how our reactions speak volumes about our understanding of what is appropriate.
Lastly, we finish on a hopeful note, encouraging you to stand with us and spread the love while stressing the urgency of solidarity and compassion during these trying times.

We dive into the rise of Matt Gates, making sense of how the debt ceiling deal with Joe Biden played a crucial role in this political swap.
Have you ever wondered about the mysteries and controversies of the Catholic Church? We've pulled back the curtain on the changes post Vatican II, the significance of the Latin language in services, and even the concept of mortal and venial sins. From questioning the power of priests to absolve sins, to evaluating the Church's teachings and how they're interpreted, we've left no stone unturned. We also delve into the implications of Pope Francis's attempts to make the Church more inclusive and accepting.
Tupac Shakur... The mystery is finally solved? GC talks about the significance of Tupac's stardom and the impact of his murder.
Lastly, we ventured into the realm of pop culture, dissecting the implications of celebrity relationships, particularly on ticket and jersey sales - and the spotlight is on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
