The noise of our culture and the world we live in can be overwhelming. With the vast amount of information that we have access to, there is confusion as to how one should perceive the world. Reggie and Brian are two guys who seek to share their journey and wisdom garnered from their faith and life experience to lend a hand in understanding the reality we live in. We, as men, are here on this earth to be leaders, husbands, fathers, sons, friends, brothers, uncles, nephews, and witnesses. R & B Talks is one place where we try to cut through the noise of the culture and the world and help give some real transparent views on important aspects of life, men, Christianity, or whatever comes up. Join us as we have real unscripted discussions about issues and life. Just 2 guys in 2 chairs talking. ------ Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@randbtalks Check us out on Instagram: <a href=

On America's 250th, Reggie and Brian ask a blunt question: would the moral order the modern West treats as self-evident exist if Christianity never had? They walk the pre-Christian baseline — Roman infant exposure, slave

Reggie and Brian open with a "conspiracy or not a conspiracy" game and land on one principle that runs through AI, marriage, leadership, and prayer: you get out of any relationship exactly what you put into it. Context i

Journalism's "objectivity era" wasn't a baseline that got corrupted. It was a brief professional performance that lasted exactly one human lifetime — built on specific regulatory, economic, and ideological conditions tha
America spent $23.6 billion on Easter last year — 92% on candy. Only 45% of celebrants planned to attend church. Good Friday isn't a federal holiday, but DEI calendars list hundreds of observances with detailed guides wh
Why can't you just sit in "I don't know"? From the Iran war to the death of Chuck Norris, every time information is withheld, people rush to fill the gap — and what they fill it with reveals more about them than about th
The same principalities that captured education, science, tech, and corporations are running the same playbook on masculinity. The Greek alphabet male taxonomy — alpha, beta, sigma — is a tool of fragmentation that repla
Bill Clinton is named 1,193 times in the DOJ Epstein files. Epstein took the Fifth every time he was asked about their relationship. The DOJ has removed 65,000+ pages from its own public repository with no explanation. Z
The Epstein files are public. Children were trafficked. The evidence is documented. And culture can't stay outraged about it for longer than a news cycle. Then we turn the mirror on the church: has worship become so form
Part 2 of Behind the Mask picks up where EP122 left off — moving from gaming psychology into the real world. We examine how Arc Raiders' aggression-based matchmaking mirrors institutional social contracts, map the black
A viral feminist post claims women don't need men. We dismantle it with actual data — then pivot to the deeper question: what happens when identity disappears entirely? From gamertags to Facebook keyboards, anonymity doe
What happens when empathy misfires and a society starts destroying itself in the name of compassion? Reggie and Brian unpack Gad Saad's concept of "suicidal empathy" — unchecked compassion weaponized to invert justice, s
How did a 19th-century naturalist's theory become the foundation for reshaping American education, culture, and institutions? We trace the documented funding trail from Darwin to Marx to the Rockefeller foundations—and i
How did America's boardrooms become ideological enforcement arms — and why do they care more about ESG scores than customers? We trace the pipeline from academia to corporate America: how ideological capture spread throu
