Just checking in to share a brief update. I’ll be taking this week to myself after a loss in my family. Thank you for your continued support

I’ll be back soon. 🖤🙏🏾

In Part One of this holiday conversation, Tez reflects on how Christmas felt different this year—for himself and for people everywhere. Through humor, honest reflection, and relatable listener stories, the episode explores quieter holidays, shifting traditions, emotional growth, and what truly mattered when the noise faded.

This is a feel-good, grounded conversation about peace, survival, and entering the New Year with intention—without the pressure to become someone new.

Elon’s new robots are out here folding laundry, clocking in for work, and probably flirting in the DMs and the world is panicking. Tez breaks down the quiet anxiety running through corporate America, the rise of AI dating culture, and why deepfakes might ruin somebody’s whole political career by Friday. Plus, real stories: a woman fired by a bot, a freelancer who leveled up using AI, and a whole community trying to keep up. This one’s funny, real, and brutally honest about where the world is heading.

Just a quick check-in from Tez! Normally, a full episode drops every Friday at 9 PM, but your boy is a little too stuffy tonight to give you the quality you deserve. 😅

So here’s the update: 👉🏾 No full episode tonight 👉🏾 Brand new episode drops TOMORROW at 9 PM Central

Thanks for being patient and rocking with me. I’ll be back tomorrow with my real voice, real energy, and a fire episode for y’all. 🎙️🔥

In this episode, Tez breaks down the shocking reality behind the government’s SNAP overhaul — from the 186,000 dead people allegedly still receiving benefits to the massive reapplication process that could push millions of living families into crisis. But this isn’t just politics — it’s personal. Tez opens up about growing up on food stamps, how the recent shutdown hit real households, and why something that looks “simple” on paper can become catastrophic in real life. We dig into the economics, the human stories, and a smarter solution that could save money and protect families: hiring a specialized high-efficiency team rather than forcing the entire country to reapply. This episode is real, unfiltered, and eye-opening — shining a light on how policy trickles down into people’s refrigerators, mental health, and dignity.

Sit back, relax, and join the conversation… because it’s happening.

It’s Halloween, and today we’re unmasking the real costumes of friendships with hidden intentions. 👀 I share a moment that triggered an old pattern: when playful banter suddenly has… energy. How do you tell pure friendship from secret agenda? Let’s talk intuition, boundaries, and not letting past ghosts ruin present connections.

What happens when love languages evolve with the times?

In this episode of “Talks With Tez,” I tell a story about how a casual trip to Publix for a cinnamon fry turned into a full-on conversation about modern love. From words of affirmation and quality time to a brand-new contender, Reels. Yep, welcome to the era where people say “I love you” through memes, TikToks, and 30-second videos.

We break down the five original love languages, talk about how each generation expresses love differently, and explore why digital communication has become a love language of its own.

I’ll also share real stories from listeners across the U.S., from Houston to Chicago, on how they’ve learned to hear love in new ways. And at the end of this episode, I’m introducing something special to help you reflect on your own love language journey.

🎙️ If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in love or had someone “flirt” with a SpongeBob GIF… this episode is for you.

Everyone’s chasing the “dream life” the money, the travel, the glow-up. But what happens when you finally get it… and it still doesn’t feel right?

In this week’s Talks with Tez, we unpack the real difference between living your dream and living in alignment. From corporate climbs that left folks empty, to quiet lives that overflow with peace, Tez dives into what true fulfillment looks and feels like.

Expect humor, honesty, and heartfelt stories from listeners in Atlanta, Chicago, L.A., and Dallas who learned that peace is the real flex.

Tune in if you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I chasing purpose — or perception?”
