Episode 55 | Versuz Only Fans
Abstract Square records remotely and gets in on all of the quarantined media fun. We have a brotherly social-distanced conversation about how the world has changed mid-pandemic. Will contact tracing turn into something different? Will there be a shift in the way we look at public health as a whole? Do New Yorkers in such dangerous territory hit the road? Does the cost of real-estate change when tele-commuting is clearly allowing for companies to continue to operate. Does the 14.7% unemployment rate but relatively hopeful economy sound ridiculous? Are those that haven't been impacted and ignorant to the threats of the global pandemic any safer? We talk how the culture has done it again and found a way to use take lemons and make lemonade with media produced from the likes of artists such as Tory Lanez, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and D-Nice. We talk about that, and it just reminds me of those geniuses that picked up paint intended for use on radiators and created art that we've grown to love, cherish and ultimately buy as a luxury item. That's what we do! Ok - this is getting lengthly but if you read this far, like & subscribe. You clearly F with us. Holla!

Episode 54 | The Rona
Abstract Square talks about Coronavirus and it’s impact on our present lives. We discuss the implications, considerations, and opportunities that come with the global pandemic. With a taste of Abstract humor, we take on the serious topics and debunk some of the less than accurate information that we may have consumed while glued to the various news outlets. We take on smoking Hookah while battling a respiratory attacking virus, irresponsibly turning up in a tight ass club, and the responsibility to do your best while you are WFH (don’t f this up). Most importantly this episode is sponsored by Brian’s rose-scented expired hand sanitizer. Holla!

Episode 51 | Juggling Glass Balls
You're always going to be juggling balls, but you need to know which ball is is the glass ball. Don't let that go over your head. Abstract discusses the cost of Mamba mentality. How do you decompress? How do you know when you're pushing a way past the limit? What makes you happy? The crew shares solutions on all of the above but as usual challenges each others thinking. Iron sharpens iron, right? Shout out to All Birds, Bracken, Brian leaving messages on read, Thomas replying, "Heard Ju" in response to good morning, and email's followed with a text as if your email and text aren't on the same device. -Holla

Customer Reviews
Good conversation!
Appreciate hearing the POV of thoughtful black men on societal issues, entertainment happenings, and technological innovation. I don’t always agree with the opinions expressed, and the three friends don’t always agree with one another, but the conversation is always thought-provoking and respectable.
Authentic & Challenging
Challenges the status quo thinking with real, unadulterated cultural topics. I like that they disagree, and everyone doesn’t just disagree just for the sake of disagreeing, but substantiates their positions with rational, well-put logic.
Smart, yet cool and real.
Keep up the good work fellas... It's like you're living my everyday wins/struggles on Abstract Square episodes but with a comedic yet real view. I've always known that life/work/etc. was bigger than just me and my "black man corporate life."
Well done!
