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: https://instagram.com/randbtalks?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5Yg== Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095476576481&mibextid=LQQJ4d Also available as a podcast on your favorite platform or via RSS feed here: https://media.rss.com/randbtalks/feed.xml","last_synced_at":"2026-07-06T10:19:49.192208+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/r-b-talks-6474719"},"episode":{"title":"EP116 - Family Drama Survival Guide","slug":"ep116-family-drama-survival-guide","published_at":"2025-12-22T05:10:08+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/r-b-talks-6474719/ep116-family-drama-survival-guide","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/r-b-talks-6474719","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/randbtalks/2404605","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/217506/2404605/randbtalks/2025_12_22_04_38_14_6d0b2672-397a-457b-8540-27a825874336.mp3","summary":"Family gatherings can bring out old patterns fast. In this Christmas episode, Reggie and Brian share a practical survival guide for family drama: how to pre-game the gathering, time-box it, set spouse signals, choose non-negotiables, and use calm boundaries when the temperature rises. They talk through the bait topics (politics, religion, parenting, money, old wounds), how to avoid getting recruited into someone elses fight, when leaving is the right call, and why after-action debriefs and quick apologies are real leadership. The episode closes with Christmas memories, thankfulness, and a reminder that Christmas is about the birth of our Savior.","meta_description":"Family gatherings can bring out old patterns fast.
