The Checkpoint w/Darry Johnson

Tyler Perry doesn't like us. Reesa Teesa got bamboozled. Beyonce making us buy cowboy hats. Meanwhile, our special guest and I jump into growing beyond our environments.

Oh, baby...we stanning all the black queens in music. Plus, a side of burps, and good convo from my Jamaican friend from the 305. * Sounds varied due to this week's set-up, thank you for listening anyway* #sza #beyonce #cocojones #jayz #gay #dating #grammys

Let's talk about us, baby. Let's talk about you and me. Let's talk about all the things that we can fix.

Onika Tanya Maraj, the star you are! #NickiMinaj Jonathan Majors ran like he stole something and you all had a million questions to ask me, chile! Secret Santa still happening like the economy not frying right now.

Diddy Issues, Beyonce House, The Icon- Blue Ivy, Protecting Keke Palmer. Renaissance Film Special Guest: Josh Harris joins us to talk about social media perceptions.

Not this being the last time I'd record my podcast as a 20-something-year-old man. No, but for real, let's just chat. Pull out your headphones and let's get vulnerable. Me and you.

It's been a while now...but the kid is back and the strike is over! This epsiode features, Robert Alex, a good friend of mine to discuss how Beyonce took us down !1

Talks about all the things that's been happening in the world this last month (and it's been a lot, chile) plus diving into the college conversation that a lot of us didn't have before going into a different world.

Summer body talk with a side of Little Mermaid made a splash, no waterpark! Netflix still on some b.s, the bigots still bigot-ting.

Do you feel like you should repay your parents for all they've done for you?

The spiraling expectations in our 20s and the guilt trip of repaying our family!

It's about time we call out some of the ways of Issa Dee. Yes, the character from the iconic, hit show on HBO-Max. Some of ya'll gave her a pass, but not I, said the duck!

This week we start the dive into transition seasons in life with a side of boundaries and a cup of unlearning.
