A Sip and A Shot

We’re back with a Part 2 and LIVE for the first time in weeks! And as a reminder Urban Dictionary defines it as when “you THINK you like them but then you suddenly catch 'The Ick'. From then on you can't look at the person in the same way, you just progressively get more and more turned off by them, weirdly & maybe for no reason in particular grossed out by them. In Part 2, we had to continue down...

Homecoming Season is upon us, and we had to take a walk down memory lane! This week we’re chatting about some of our first homecomings in high school, college, and after. Between showing a “little 16-year-old tittay” and the craziest tailgate situations, this was a fun episode. We also had to discuss the ups and downs of homecomings, being a black girl at a PWI and comparing it to our nearby HBCU...

Urban Dictionary defines it as when “you THINK you like them but then you suddenly catch 'The Ick'. From then on you can't look at the person in the same way, you just progressively get more and more turned off by them, weirdly & maybe for no reason in particular grossed out by them. In part 1 (because of course this took 2 parts), we had to go down the list of icks we saw on Beyoncé's internet an...

It’s been a LONG time and we missed y’all! We’ve been in a transition, but we wanted, no needed to chat with each other and y’all and ‘shoot the breeze.’ There’s been so much that has gone on these last several weeks that between the Soul Mega ‘MegaFest’ we attended, new memberships and jobs, ups and downs, dinners, it’s been some time! This episode is a true catch up with a little bit of life les...

Growing up in the 90s, we were able to be raised with some of the best R&B songs ever. Now that we are in our 30s we can reeeaaalllllyy listen to and UNDERSTAND these songs. Some of them are TOXIC as hell! The songs we sang with our whole heart like “All I Have” that told us to drop our pride to deal with a ‘bad guy’ and ‘Can We Talk’ that encourages accepting some stalker ish! Dissecting them and...

Is it ever ok to sleep with someone on your friend’s couch? What a question! Someone wanted our advice to determine if they overreacted or reacted just enough when they felt a line was crossed by a very close friend. This of course made us think about different boundaries you need for friends and how those boundaries are handled. In typical VJ and Jame fashion, we disagreed on the reaction but und...

"Please Stop” “Bish Whet” & “Truuueee” are some of the reactions we have while on social media. See what got those reactions this time! NYAK Cognac made this Social Media Week so fun! We started out with a BISH WHET… always know: we never mean to be judgmental and if anything comes across hurtful, please allow us grace. So, Jame started wild! 30 minutes of head + a micro penis + parental advisory…...

Let’s just start by saying: The Queen is Back!!! Beyoncé released her newest album 'Renaissance' this past week and we had to chat about it. First, WE ARE LIVING FOR IT! She did it for the GWORLS!!! We discuss our real opinions on the new album, which Bey we get, how we feel about it, etc. Jame went through all the levels of emotions of a Beyoncé release… Shout out to the insomniacs lol. We are...

Our guest this week is Elliott Johnson, Co-Founder and CEO of SoulMega DC. We met Elliott a few months ago at a tasting event where we tried their flagship beer ‘Worldwide’ American Pale Ale. Now, you guys know we are not beer girls but this beer was amazing! He shared with us how he and his partner started SoulMega, why they chose to create beer products, and where you can get it. He even gave us...

Happy 2 Year Anniversary Week to US!!! It’s been a great 2 years, it’s a whirlwind, a blessing, and an exhilarating journey that we are so happy to be on!

Honestly, we didn’t know what we wanted to talk about tonight lol. Then, we realized we’ve b...

"Please Stop” “Bish Whet” & “Truuueee” are some of the reactions we have while on social media. See what got those reactions this time! Simply Lemonade Spiked is finally on the shelves in MD so we had to a “A Sip and A Shot Taste Test”! We tried all 4 flavors: Spiked Lemonade, Watermelon Lemonade, Blueberry Lemonade, and Strawberry Lemonade. You know we’re honest to a fault lol so we had to give o...

When one of us ends up barefoot, you know it was a good show! Since the start of social media, there have been many announcements: Graduation, Birthdays, New Homes, New Jobs, New Loves etc. There have also been some UNNECESSARY ones as well! There have been some things we’ve been wanting to get off our chest and today we were feeling MESSY! We’re giving you a list of all of the useless announcemen...

Court is in session this week with the Case of Ex! For those of you who watch ‘Ready to Love,’ you saw the episode where one of the dates/experiments was for the ladies to have a date with their potential lover and their potential lover’s ex. NOW, we had a lot of initial reactions but we had to stop and think the negatives are obvious but what could be the positives of this interaction between pot...

We started this episode hype because the sun was out, and our Sip and Shot were both Tropical drinks! Tropics for the Topic! ‘Deal or No Deal’ was inspired by a Tamron Hall interview saying when her fiancé did not dive in the water to save her, she knew the relationship was over, it was an automatic deal breaker for her. So, we had to see if this would be a dealbreaker and if we could see why it i...

So Pure??? Purity Culture is a topic we’ve never really talked about on the show but has definitely played a part in our lives. We caught a TikTok discussing how the young girls who decided to be “pure” and “in church” aren’t getting “wifed” like the party girls who fornicate lol. So, this week we talked about the effects of being told to “be pure” has had on us, the good, the bad, and the ugly pa...

"Please Stop” “Bish Whet” & “Truuueee” are some of the reactions we have while on social media. See what got those reactions this time! We haven’t done a good Social Media Week in so long that we actually missed it, so we had to bring you some craziness! The most interesting topic that’s been everywhere is the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. We give our take on what’s happening between...

This week we came across a thread about the different lies men have told women. So we had to chat about the different lies we’ve heard and different lies we’ve actually told. Jame said “If Black men don’t cheat, Black women don’t lie” 😊 Our producer KB kept score on the craziest lies told between men and women so no worries! This episode, we realized how gullible we might be: one lie was the bra...

How do 2 people who don’t participate in 4/20 celebrate 4/20? We have a guest who has their own infused cannabis treats line come on it! The Founder and CEO of The Jive DC, Wu, joined us this week to not only have a good time with us but teach us a little bit! He has over 50 different products including juices, gummies, candies, honey, cookies, shisha, honey, and walnut oil. Have you ever heard of...

“What is the difference between a child saying, “he started it” and adults saying “I match energy” This question was a gut punch to our resident ‘Tit-for-tat’ person and also started our conversation about what is toxic, what is petty, and many different excuses for both! VJ’s “If you don’t tit I don’t tat” and Jame’s “where is the accountability” led to our poppin chatroom agreeing and disagreein...

Our guest this week is Jayden Doye’, CPA, the CEO of Prestige Accounting Solutions. After many years of differing accounting roles and clients telling him they’re waiting on him, Jayden decided to step out and start his own firm. We asked Jayden what he thought was something most people don’t know about regarding accounting and taxes. He told us about the difference between tax preparation and tax...

First up: Happy Pi Day and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We wanted to make sure we had a Sip and Shot ready to celebrate both occasions! We had to start with a quick catch up because Jame was in Miami and it was VJ’s B-day weekend! This week, we started our conversation about polygamy with questioning whether you should inform your partner you are “surprising” him/her with a 3rd party and then realized...

It's VJ's birthday week and we had to celebrate a little bit! A year makes a hell of a difference! But on to this weeks topic: Another Table Talk?! There is a question floating around from BOYS that a lot of women would like to come to an end: "What do you bring to the table?" We discuss whether this is a good first date question, SPOILER ALERT: IT'S NOT! why we hate being asked this question, and...

Happy Mardi Gras! Not only is it Social Media Week but we also had a special guest tonight! Mike Lee from Sankofa Bottling Company joined us! Mike shares with us how he and his family started Sankofa Bottling Company and why they chose to start with Gin! Let us tell you, the Sankofa Bottling Company Gin is amazing! Not often can you put the words “Gin” and “smooth” in the same sentence – but with...

Happy National Margarita Day! One of our favorite cocktails has a national day so we just had to bring our friend James Glendinning back to celebrate! And he came bearing gifts! This episode was up the 'Sippin History' aisle! We enjoyed discussing the history of rum, gin, and whiskey which has a rich and deep connection to Black History! James came with more than new alcohol to try but also inform...
