Fellas, how many times have you seen thirst trap posts on Facebook from women?  Ladies, how many times has that one dude sporadically sent you a DM just to stay in your conscious?  These are baiting and dating tactics or what some people call "breadcrumbing".  It's done primarily on social media and breadcrumbing is a tactic that people use to string you along until they can decide if and when they will ever actually ask you out.  It's basically leading someone on by sending them sporadic messages and/or commenting on social media posts in a way to keep you interested in them.  However, it's always vague and non-committal.  Tonight, we'll discuss how to recognize and not fall into that trap. Also on the show, Trump is back in the White House after a few days in the hospital.  There are a ton of theories on this and I know that my Show Legends will not have a shotage of opinons of their own.   the Talk 2 Q Radio Show!  "No experts.  Just opinions."

This is the mantra for a lot of people who are tired of the unity movements going on across the country.  Is it fair or foul for them to feel this way?  Can you get "BLM fatigue" from the constant talk and signage that is almost everywhere you look in some cities? And speaking of "fatigue", yet another high profile case yields unsatisfactory results as the three cops who shot up Breonna Taylor's apartment and killed her escape serious charges.  I'll ask my Show Legends tonight about their opinions on another person of color who dies at the hands of police negligence. We'll discuss that and more on this live call-in edition of the Talk 2 Q Radio Show!  "No experts.  Just opinions." Show #858 www.Talk2Q.com

Mr. Scott Hopkins started teaching in the California school system in the early 1970's.  The way schools are run now have evolved quite a bit since then.  And because of that, teaching strategies have evolved as well.   Did students change more or did the teachers do so?  We talk about the stress that teachers face daily from uncooperative parents and non-supportive administrators.  I also inquire about how he thinks the COVID-19 situation is being handled. It's a great conversation with someone, who is retired, that can give his unfiltered opinions without any worries of backlash from the school system.  You'll truly understand why teaching is important and why teaching is rewarding.

Normally, it's a Skip Bayless tweet that upsets folks, but this time it was live and on the air on FOX Sports.  Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, recently revealed that he was depressed over his brother's suicide back in April.  A lot of people don't know what depression looks like.  Was Skip out of line when he questioned Dak Prescott's mental toughness because he chose to express himself publicly? Brandy J. Flynn is a mental health specialist as well as a mental health analyst in sports.  She was the first person who came to my mind when I wanted to discuss this topic.  So, I'm bringing to you professional's point of view on whether it was fair or foul for Skip to belittle Dak as the leader of his team because Dak showed vulerability.
