That's NOT necessarily TRUE  

This Tuesday, March 20, 2007 at 8:30pm on "the BEAT with Anthony Reeves feat. Cool Papa, Mocha Deez, and the Big Man" (www.blogtalkradio.com/legalbeat), our topic of discussion is "Don't let your girlfriends get you into trouble".

Before any ladies think I'm singling them out, let me clarify.  The focus of the discussion is on what happens when a person lets their "friends" either talk them into, pump them up, or encourage them to do something in the 'heat' of the moment that results in THEM getting into trouble. 

For those of you who don't know, Mocha Deez is my wife and she did a great job on our last show of keeping the guys in check (check out the archived show on March 10, 2007 called "A thin line between Rational Thought and Crimes of Passion").  She may need some back up on this one.

What I want to know, has anyone ever been in a situation where they were clearly upset about something and they let there friends talk them into something that resulted in a BAD outcome??  OR has there even been a situation where your friends talked you into doing something that was BAD but you didn't regret once it was done!

Please respond here.

If you missed the INAUGURAL SHOW of "The BEAT with Anthony Reeves featuring Cool Papa, Mocha Deez, and the Big Man", you missed a treat.  Tune in to the March 10, 2007 podcast of this Jamming new show.

In order to get an appreciation of the show, I have to introduce my co-hosts:

Jian "COOL PAPA" Beckford
   - A lot of people claim to be Cool but only one person can truly be "COOL PAPA".  Jamaican by birth, New Yorker by roots, and Floridian by choice, Mr. Beckford is truly as diverse as his background implies.  With a Bachelor in Computer Information System, a Masters in Business Administration, and his own company, he is truly 'cooler' than the other side of the people.  However, it's the fact that he's a bassist, a musician, composer, arranger, and a choreographer that makes him PAPA!  Never one to mince words, COOL PAPA will always get to the core of any issue because he is too COOL to stay in one spot!! (www.myspace.com/coolpapamusic).

Carroll "MOCHA DEEZ" Thompkins-Reeves
 - If you caught the hyphenated last name, then you're on - point.  She truly IS my better half.  Don't be confused.  This military brat, youngest daughter with 3 older brothers, former military non-commissioned officer, and psychology major has learned how to think on her feet and is NOT afraid of a confrontation which is why she has so much flavor.  However, it's the fact that she's a social worker and community activist which gives her a soft heart and understanding.  MOCHA DEEZ is a rare flava and when she speaks, everyone can get a taste of what she has to say.

Craig "THE BIG MAN" King
- As the BIG MAN says it, "If you SCARED, get a dog!!".   And that statement let's you know RIGHT now that if you ain't ready to hear the truth, don't touch that phone.  Born and raised in the dirty western portion of Palm Beach County, Florida (Affectionately known as the MUCK), this Belle Glade, Florida native, Corporate Manager, Motivational Speaker, and Local / Regional Oratorical contest winner has made a reputation out of talking STRAIGHT and getting his point across in the only way he knows how, Down and DIRTY!  In the evening, he is just as rough ripping up the airways with his sports talk show "How the Big Man Sees it" (www.blogtalkradio.com/bringit).  When the BIG MAN talks, you better be ready for the floors to move!

If you don't believe what I'm saying, check out the March 10, 2007 podcast and see for yourself.  On this show, we're going to be ATTACKING (not addressing, not tackling, ATTACKING) real topics and we want real input!! Don't let the humor fool you.  That's just the over 10 years of friendship coming out.  We're real professionals and we got something to say.  Check it out.  You'll enjoy it.

P.S.  On March 20, 2007, the topic of the show is called "Don't LET your girlfriends get you in trouble!!!".  Got any stories of how your friends let you get caught up in the moment?? Let us know!!
