Good Morning Nashville ☀️

Beyond excited to be bringing you guys a new episode this week, but even moreso just grateful to be alive as we round off the year of 2024. Been one crazy year, huhn? I’m sure you can say the same. But one thing that hasn’t changed, is weekly drops from the ONLY black father and son podcast in the state of Tennessee. Let’s get into today’s episode ⭐️

Man, my pops and myself are so excited to have you guys hear this one today. Paying homage to the elders is something that we should do more of. It is often that the older we get, the more the world forgets about us, and that’s the story for a lot of those in the elderly community today. 🙏🏽

Well, we want to try and change that narrative by presenting a different opportunity for one very popular Cross Plains, TN native & his grandson.

As we continue to walk through our season/series titled “Black Fathers & Sons”, we bring to the platform the legend, Mr. Jim Thomas Groves & his grandson, Mr. David Woodard. ✌🏽 Mr. Jim makes history with us, surpassing TSU Legend & Professor Dr. James Haney as the OLDEST GUEST EVER ON THE BLACK MEN VENT TOO PODCAST 🏆

Mr. Jim, also known as the “Turnip Green Man”, doesn’t hesitate to grab that mic and vent about a lot of things that were on his mind. Guys, he’s been married for over 70+ years to his now 92 year old sweetheart. We ask Mr. Jim what’s the secret behind longevity in a day where folks don’t last 7 days with each other. His answer was simple … “just keep it moving.” 💯

David Woodard ⭐️ , a former guest on the show, comes back to the platform with his grandfather to talk more about the farming industry and what to look after in our food intake going into the new year. David has committed himself to vlogging his newfound hobby of farming, and educating viewers on nutritional facts that may save their lives down the line. We talk about why nowadays, an apple and certain other products, aren’t the same size as it once were in grocery stores. Have you noticed that Nashville? 👀

We get into that and a WHOLE lot more from this dynamic grandfather and grandson duo. Above all else, giving a 93-years young man an opportunity to be on a podcast, was just dope in itself. 🙏🏽

Take some time to listen to a black father and son man vent today. ✌🏽
