81. AFRO-RUKS!

REAL SOULFUL

39:33

"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

AWAYY AWAYYY!

Yeah I've got a new song in my playlist courtesy of the one and only Ruks! Don't worry guys, a Real Soulful playlist is on the way too cause this summer we gon' need some bangers man and I gotta give the streets what they want. I always take care of my listeners cause where would I be without ya'll?

Anyways enough of that soft shit, Looks like it's a music invasion cause we've got another artist in the building this week. From Gospel to afro-well... Ruks doesn't really know which lane she's in right now so we just went with afro-ruks. Cool right? If you don't have a genre you create your own baby.

We talked about her music journey and where her inspirations come from but I was way too focused on Ruks and her double agent life. Looks like behind the music, she's working for a secret organisation which she won't disclose. Booky settings I'll be real but you know how these artists are man... always got something going on.

Whilst you figure out her secret, enjoy this week's episode with your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) and this week's guest:

Happy New Year!!! It's a new year but it's still the same old podcast! The road to 100 continues and all I can say is that you guys are the real MVPs cause this s**t ain't easy. With a new year brings new guests and these two really don't need a further introduction. What do you get when you mix Karen with Gbemi? Apparently you get Kemi but hey I'm not popping their ting down (still doesn't make sense) These two let me know about their new year resolutions and what they think of mine. It's always nice when you stick to a resolution so I hope mine isn't too extreme sha. We're optimistic about the new year aren't we? AREN'T WE? I'll let you answer that one on your own. I don't think I know two women more combative than these two and they had a lot to say about my business model for throwing events. Selling front on a dating website like Hinge might not seem like an ethical model but the results say we're on to make another 20k this year. Someone find me Alan Sugar let me pitch this asap cause these girls don't see the vision! Speaking of vision, how do you plan your life around having children? Is that something you're even considering and how best do you assess whether your partner is the right fit? Deep questions right? All that and more this week so join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Karen (@karenasamoah_) , Gbemi (@gbemiolokox) Make sure you follow their podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1N5GBOYJOMkwddkSKxhPu1?si=fd465f79c36944f9…

4 THE STREEEEETS! The boys are back in the studio with me this week and it's always fun cause you never know where this episode could go. We begin with RMJ having his drink spiked in Malta. Yeah. I know. Like I said, you never know where this episode could go. From potentially fighting in parties to making phone calls to your voicemail in the club. It's all over the place mate I tell ya but you'll never seen Adam near any of this madness cause he's too busy recording the whole thing! TMZ we got a star on the way!! Quick question for the guys. You're about to get married and your S/O (significant Other) is having her face beat by someone you've had history with. Do you inform your S/O or you keeping things hush! Till death do us part babyyyyy. Some man are saying they'll write the truth in their Will. Hm. If you get to the end of the episode you'll hear a particular scenario I think might leave you flabbergasted. I just want to conclude by saying after God, FEAR WOMEN.

The road to 100 is fast approaching... I know I should've been there a while ago but one day at a time right? We back to it this week and who better than the Alpha Tales Podcast! Turns out Johnny & Kofi are the new Jay z & Beyonce. I'm not gonna address who the Beyonce is but make sure you put #goals in the comments cause these guys be going on dates now. Two men in the cinema, in the dark, sharing popcorn... Very romantic I must admit but we love love and dem tings deya! You probably read the title thinking "what on earth..." but hear me out. Bloodflow is important. Essential really. This might be cryptic code for something but I think i'll let you listen to the pod to figure out what that means. All I can say is, sometimes you just gotta finish the job! Join your host (@Joewrites_) with this week's guests: Jonny (@jonny_abbs), Kofi (@kofi.jord), Nick (@nicholasdharvey_)…

Back again for episode 88. It's a very chill road to 100 and it only gets better from here. I got Big S in the studio or Sam (even though she doesn't like that) and we chopped it up this week. Seems like Samara learnt a valuable lesson this summer and shared insight into her life and all that it contains. What's your best dish and don't tell me it's Sweet chilli Salmon bites or Mac & Cheese... Oh wait... so you're also in the same boat? You've got to listen to the episode to find out why this is so funny so go on, press play and enjoy! Join your host Joseph (@Joewrites_) with this week's guest: Samara (@samaraaabigail)…

I hope you guys are happy now! We got some men in the building so you lot can get off my back now cause *allegedly* I've favoured one gender more than the other which is preposterous! I love all ya'll (women) equally... We got Alpha Tales in the house man *drink champs clap* and boy this episode was nothing but vibes. Turns out Kofi just likes telling every babes he loves them during sexy time and Jonny told us a story with many different endings. One where he and a close female friend could've been something and the other where a girl he pursued wanted Kofi. We call that the multiverse of the Alpha Tales. I'm not surprised she wanted Kofi. She's been hearing the rumours about his great skin which led Nick to ask the guys what their best trait is. Now without getting to cocky, let's just say the mandem believe in their abilities! Turns out Nick's lips and composure gets the ladies riled up but you can hear all of that when you listen. Just don't daydream as the guys talk their ish ladies. There's a whole lot more in here as you can tell by the 2hr + content we giving you guys! Maybe I gotta get more men in the building *pistol fingers* and if you didn't under the previous asterisk then this episode will make it make sense!

Our favourite Tech sis was in the building this week just to have a sit down and chat it up with me. Yes people actually like having conversations outside of their profession... kinda like the rush you get after 5 on a Friday for all you 9-5'vers out there. No one knows what it means but it's provocative!! Short one this week, you guys don't be missing me enough for the long hour content so we call this one tit for tat. Petty? Maybe?

You can always tell when two Nigerians are in the room with each other... In this case that happens to be me & Heather. I was lucky enough to be joined in the studio by the amazing Heather herself and if you listen closely, that accent should tell you she be original naija babe. This one no be fake o so any nonsense we suppose skin you alive well well... Shey you understand? Sorry. Queen's English. I forget where I am sometimes but nevertheless, Heather reminded me how fun it can be chatting it up with your fellow countryman and we had a lot of fun talking about issues so dear to her heart. As you know, Heather is Gay and speaks openly about her sexuality and involvement in the LGBTQ community. Being a Nigerian you can tell that mix isn't befitting to the usual stereotype associated to sexuality when we talk about Nigerians and africans as a whole but Heather is an advocate in breaking down these barriers and opening the eye's of those who have formed their own misconceptions and stereotypes concerning those who identify as members of the LGBTQ community. Behind that fun, bubbly, funny personality, Heather makes it clear that all that glitters is not gold. Having being diagnosed with Schizophrenia, her life is a little different than the average adult and her mental health is something she is openly passionate about. She uses her social media platforms to raise awareness as well as to educate those who aren't very familiar with mental health disorders like hers and how she does not let such things define who she is. This episode should open the eyes of those who may be dealing with mental health issues in the dark as Heather brings to light the truth and realness whilst being fun and quirky with all that she goes through!

This week on #QUICKLY - Burna boy now a fugitive. Shooting takes place at a club in which Burna Boy flees after making advances towards a woman in a relationship.
