Daddy Issues: Grades vs Work, Learning Your Partner, Nicknames

[@MsLannie88]

I never loved anything in particular growing up so school helped me to learn a whole bunch of things and do well in my job now. School helps you to learn to find answers and even if you think you dont use that information you probably do.

[@KeonPolee]

Right just need to find your thing

[@cmdchiimeh]

I went to college an hour away from my neighborhood to study Mechanical Engineering because I wanted to make hella money to fund philanthropic changes I wanted to make in my community, studying that taught me how to research and study...while being at a university taught me how to get involved in organizations bigger than myself as well as gave me the opportunity to interact with diverse people from all over. I transferred to a college 6 hours away for aerospace engineering because it paid higher, where i got exposed to life outside of not only my city...but my state and region. I also got even more involved and this is when I found my passion for environmental justice and education so I switched my major to environmental science and agricultural engineering. 8 years later, as a environmental scientist, i get paid to conduct socioeconomic research on how POC are affected by climate change as well as run my own organization teaching environmental education to marginalized Black communities around the midwest....college did that❤

[@damontijackson1743]

I get Chaz’s point but I feel like it’s often the perspective of people who hadn’t graduated college. For me, I went into community college with the intention on being an architecture engineer, after taking random classes I switched to wanting to be an art teacher. That too changed as my electives changed and I found a passion for marketing. My degree ended up being in mass communication and I work in marketing currently. Yes did I have a ton of classes that weren’t focused on my initial passion. Ultimately I learned what I liked by taking those pointless classes…. I also graduated from a 4yr as well.

[@TwinCitysVB]

I noticed it's usually people in the entertainment industry that say you don't need college. It's kind of sad they don't realize the importance of going to college and just base life on how much money you can make.

[@MzSweetzTalk]

Agreed 💎💯

[@cmdchiimeh]

Wish somebody could tell me the time stamp they stop talking about that topic too smh

[@jacobhayes8324]

Yeah. All of them are entertainers and don't really get just how the world really works sometimes. I don't think you need school but many careers are behind degrees. Trades do need to make a larger comeback

[@francares4utherapist504]

Well said!

[@missyc909]

That bond with grandparents when you live with them is real! My Mom's mother was my buddy and I miss her every day! ❤

[@ericd2255]

This is what I need from my podcast. Real conversations without the men and women bashing with the comedic timing. Thank you guys for sharing your stories and experiences as always

[@MzSweetzTalk]

7:58 Yes come to Chicago!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I live in Wisconsin and will come to the show!! Keon

[@426AM]

Keon dawg you talked at LEAST 75% of the episode and there’s 3 other people like pass the ball bro 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@A.j.Harris]

😂 I be wanting to hear Craig talk a bit more. I know he has crazy stories being a wayans.

[@anthonystephen2671]

I'm still waiting for the food episode

[@michellepegues4011]

Yaaaaa! They're back!

[@jibsneakz]

My mom was big on NOT relying on the school to teach me everything. Like yea you gotta go to the classes and pass them, but it's outside the school where you get exposed to other stuff and interests etc. And you can become a well-rounded individual from those "bullshit classes"

[@DanediaJ]

I’m sorry for your loss Craig. Death is always so crushing. My thoughts and prayers are you with and Giovanna at this time. I pray your family remains strong and one with the Lord to ease your hearts

[@999nnr]

See Chaz opening the pod up with that aggravating shi ttt.

[@naturalscratcher9498]

0:54 I think Patrick cloud is a good example of this💜

[@noblesmith6948]

You need a degree from a accredited law school to become a lawyer in addition to passing the bar...

[@noblesmith6948]

This was added as a requirement when more black and Jewish people were entering into the profession in the 1900s

[@francomyles8251]

First, pass the LSAT to get into law school

[@gigirice8441]

I think most people who don’t care about grades weren’t making good ones… Many people have great business ideas but fail because they don’t have the education to run a business. You can hire someone, but if you don’t know the fundamentals, they can rob you blind.

[@Illstrator2]

I had to skip forward…:was the chaz show too early…

[@willhammondjr]

Chaz is ten toes down on being an unlearner lol! It's about understanding the world around you so stay in school!

[@CHAZRODGERS]

I say several times education is important... the school system and college isn't the only way the world works. Again....education is important... not the same thing as "school"

[@francares4utherapist504]

Lawyers have to 1. Get a 4yr degree 2. Pass the LSAT to get into law school 3. Complete Law School 4. Pass the bar. I know many Black people who went to college with me who are lawyers now. I just wanted to put a little respect on their hard work.

[@CHAZRODGERS]

I respect the work. Cali has different requirements. But that’s where I live.

[@francares4utherapist504]

@CHAZRODGERS Glad to hear that. I think you bring out good points. Sometimes, the delivery comes off unorthodox. We also have to remember that the joke comes first with you a lot. So when in doubt, I just think "Chaz is joking around!"

[@blucky65]

Episode idea yall all get interviewed by Craig on personal and professional life since he’s been in the “industry” for a min

[@jwdathefax377]

The beginning part of learning coding is taught in computer science classes in high school. Come on Chaz!🤦🏽‍♂️😂

[@CHAZRODGERS]

Now lol ... not in 2003 And you can learn faster to code on youtube than and google... am I wrong?

[@shoneydee_handmade]

My parents always called me one of my sister's names... I just go along with it, even if they are present 😂

[@GreatNinjaJordan]

I think the parts that missing is look at some of these kids that did find that thing they like and get to just ignore the "bullshit classes" a good number are well rounded adults can't do basic math or struggle reading

[@jacobhayes8324]

The main problem is our education system is pitiful. We really aren't meeting the needs scholastically anymore. We lack balance in educating students on important aspects of life as well as scholarly subjects that build the foundation for more understanding of the world

[@MzSweetzTalk]

8:05 Find what you love! Keep from wasting time 💎💎-DC

[@justintrapp6271]

I loved this episode. Just shooting the shit, but I think y'all got deeper than was expected. Highlighting family, love and just general Blackness was beautiful.

[@unwoundepower]

Ask a 1st generation child of an immigrant how important grades were to their parents. Then look at who are the most successful ppl in America. Grades definitely matter.

[@MzSweetzTalk]

😂😂😂 “Tried of wings” Craig

[@dmqdagreat]

Nah, Chaz get the best grades with the less amount of effort. Work smarter not harder.

[@KeonPolee]

Which is what i did haha.

[@TheBrob1983]

Yo craig, yall need to hit up portland maine, food from the chowder to lobster and steak, if u like beer they have tons of brewerys, and the weeds legal there too😊😊.

[@FATMAN1988]

Always right on time ⏲️ 👌🏽 👍🏽 💯

[@marckristian81]

And We Back! Let's go yall!

[@MzSweetzTalk]

Let’s Gooo!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@rclark1132]

My Husband’s sound for the kids is Psssstt…… they’ve come clear across a park before 😂

[@Chirs221]

"You like terminator bro" -DC xD

[@lakynshaw4857]

Every time I see Keon’s “Hella” shirt I want one but with Louisiana. Limited Edition? No? 🤷🏾‍♀️😅 anyways sending love from the boot! ❤️🦞🎉

[@mirandacummings318]

🔥🔥🔥

[@MzSweetzTalk]

32:09 Awww 🩷🩷🩷

[@jacobhayes8324]

Chaz we get your point but you definitely need a degree to be a lawyer. Juris doctor. outside of trades and entertainment idk what professional career there is where you don't need some type of degree.

[@azalemartin3114]

About to get back on the site to the next closest place

[@nikkisu2]

Chaz if you don’t care about Izzy getting good grades or trying hard in school because you think it’s pointless, please homeschool her. Teachers don’t deserve to have to deal with trying to convince kids their schoolwork it’s important when their parents are telling them otherwise. If you feel that way, keep your kids home. Don’t use school as a cheap daycare.

[@CHAZRODGERS]

Teaching my daughter to build her own system. Letting her know there’s options. I don’t discourage her from school or grades, I encourage her to build her own and think for her self. School teaches school. I teach her life. That’s how I feel 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Jaqueta84]

My nickname is Quack, and all my family calls that! Then some of my good friends caught wind and start calling me Quack too!

[@MzSweetzTalk]

4:13 I agree with Chaz 💎💯

[@kailabolden3166]

Craig I’m from Baltimore with a fish allergy everything closes up but I still eat crabs 😂 Jimmys is good but yall need to take home some from Conrad’s next time Keon

[@JJ_Hamilton]

I’ve missed a few pods ik they probably addressed it already but where’s Tony ?

[@MzSweetzTalk]

Tone is Taking time off to grief…this podcast is about fathers and their children. He lost his oldest son 🙌🏼🩷 He’s still processing the loss.

[@MzSweetzTalk]

23:28 😂😂😂😂😂

[@dmqdagreat]

Bay area clam chowda is the truth

[@KeonPolee]

Its is but them others SMACK

[@azalemartin3114]

I knew the tickets was messed up for us in Chicago smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@cjfresh8811]

16 min mark s/o to Baltimore and the crab cakes lol we can’t be copied for our crab meat lol

[@deboyd6937]

I wanted to be in this conversation so bad.lol

[@BoomorBust]

⁉️QUESTION⁉️ You get $5M up front but have to work a year in a entry-level job (Food Service, Human Service, Admin, etc.) What job are you picking? You get fired or quit then you pay the money back.

[@MzSweetzTalk]

Food service

[@TR-hn6qj]

Tech programs... I learned nothing in college that had anything to do with my career.. High education is for certain careers period.

[@Brittal009]

Where did you go for cheesesteaks, Keon?

[@xavierstamp8786]

Seattle clam chowder over Boston?! is yall crazy??

[@DanediaJ]

Craig you will get married. You found the love of your life. You and Giovanna will definitely get married. You guys are completely in love. Chaz I don’t understand the aggression towards school and grades. You should want better for your child. Allow her brain and mind to grow and learn. Your aggression towards things lately is not funny at all. What lawyer didn’t go to law school? Excluding a few cases. You are crazy for this one Chaz

[@CHAZRODGERS]

I'm saying there's option than the traditonal school... it's 2024... eduction doesn't necesarily = school. You can learn more on youtube and google than school.

[@undomesticatedjawn]

My little cousin thinks my name is Broomhilda. She calls me that in public. I’m black from North Philly. That is not my name. She’s 15 now. It’s fun 😂

[@johnisiah5515]

Chaz has been off these past two episodes

[@CHAZRODGERS]

I'm just in the future lol but stay with the old school system.

[@ezfrmdatropp143]

My granddad still call me and my brother Tom and Jerry I’m 32 now started when I was 7

[@jppierre28]

Where do I find a husband like Keon? I’m so serious

[@NikkiGShow]

Oooo millennials burn my britche!!! 😡. Say you didn't like school without saying it... Continuing education of any kind is priceless. And if you didn't get anything from it, that's on you. Because it literally has everything available to widen your perception, enlighten your views and teach you lifelong lessons. P.S. I find it hilarious how y'all speak about sports scholarships like educational scholarships aren't a thing. 😂 mannn.... #gradesmatter

[@justdebs365]

Intro on the exit superb 🤌🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤣
