Act 2: The Podcast

Being pregnant is thought to be one of the most beautiful times in a woman’s life. Some would say women are at their most beautiful physical state when with child. their skin is glowing. The body morphs while life is growing within. And knowing they are about to perform one of the greatest duties gives them a supreme aura. With all the beauty they behold, it stills doesn’t feel right to sexualize...

Time and time again, the Loki e provide that they really have no picks when it comes to you black men. Rich, poor, young, old, basketball player or football star. They really DGAF. In the recent incident involving “The Cheetah” aka Tyreek Hill, this is completely evident. What happens in the mind of an office who thinks to show aggression in a scenario where there’s no reason to do so? Is it possi...

Do all empires eventually collapse? Well, it isn’t anything new the Bad Boy empire has seen its best days. But the walls have officially crumbled. With terabytes of data, thousands of boxes of lube, and over 700 fabricated male body parts, it’s over.  In the court of law, having fun isn’t a crime. Having kinky fun still isn’t a crime. But when fun comes by way of force, that’s where the lines are...

The matter of life and death is viewed in many ways by many people. We are all born. We will all die. Those are facts. Indisputable. But what can be disputed is under what conditions we will die. Is it up to us, individually or even as a society? Or is that at God’s discretion? Marcellus Williams was recently executed by the State of Missouri for a crime for which he was convicted that is now beli...

Women have been the topic of conversation since the beginning of time. Literally, since Eve bit that apple in the Garden of Eden, it’s been one thing after another. And here we are in 2024 and women continue to grace the headlines, intentionally and unfortunately. While some are celebrating the potential of one woman, Vice President Kamala Harris believes ok’ing the first female President, others...

Here we go again. This isn’t our bag. At all. But we live in this country and can’t get away from the headlines so of course we have opinion.  About everything! Whether we’re seeing the increasing homeless, the children who aren’t being fed or adults too who have to struggle to pay the bills.  We realize there is a change to be made. Healthcare was made affordable and accessible by President Obama...

The 2024 Paris Olympics are in full swing. This year is definitely one for the books. Not sure if there are any record books involved. But in our household, it’s for sure a record for us. The excitement, anticipation, and exhilaration before, during, and after each event is like we’ve never experienced before during any Olympics. Needless to say, we are fans. What makes this year so different? Not...

Myths don’t come about from thin air. We all know stereotypes come from a place of truth. So when Martin Lawrence’s character in Blue Streak, Miles Logan, said “nobody wants to go to jail in Mexico”, he was telling the truth. In this episode, we share a story time of couple visiting Mexico for whom this almost became a reality. Vacation time is our favorite time of the year no matter where or when...

It’s probably a story that will be told until the end of time. Call it what you will. But babymama drama is old and corny. Yet, scenarios are presented daily that question one’s loyalty and in some cases, tests their patience. Everyone has an opinion but in the long run, no one’s really matters other than those intimately involved. But it’s probably safe to say people are going to share their anyw...

Across generations, cultures and continents, there seems to be some similarity the way we approach certain topics of life as humans. Marriage is typically a celebration. Babies are loved and protected. Education is valued. And death is respected. Of course there may be some anomalies, but typically, these mindsets hold true. So what goes on in someone’s head when they decide to disrespect someone’...

There’s many dollars that are spent and regretted later. When the hype dies down, clothing sizes become too big or small or any other reason to cause buyer’s remorse. But one thing we certainly have not regretted is the money spent on therapy. Some lessons you learn and if the knowledge or skill isn’t used often.  But it seemed the life skills learned throughout homes across all demographics. And...

Four years flew by and just like that, the circus is back on tour. We’re not speaking of Ringling Bros., Barnum and Bailey, or Universoul Circus. This is the season of the political circus as the 2024 presidential candidates tour the country to solicit votes. To align with the campaign trails are the televised debates. That’s where the real action occurs. Regardless of your political views, it’s h...

What does luxury mean to you? If you’d ask 100 people, the array of answers would be enlightening. But it is in essence defined by its owner. Luxury to you or I may be bottom of the barrel for others. And that’s ok. With the recent news of LeBron James, Jr. being drafter into the NBA as his father’s teammate has conjured up conversation about nepotism. Is it unfair? Should it not be allowed? How d...

Everybody had a price, right? Not like in some slave/master type dynamic where someone is being sold. But a price for which we may participate, accept, or otherwise be part of a scenario that we may not if a price isn’t attached. If asked the price, we may not be able to pinpoint it exactly. But when presented with the a dollar amount, the wheels may begin to spin. Some may call it tricking. But i...

We’re in the 7th month of the year, and the stories continue to write themselves. I don’t know who had a Presidential Candidate assassination on their bingo card, but here we are. There isn’t much to be said that hasn’t already been said. But we still got something to say. Even in the midst of chaos and political comedy, life goes on for the rest of us. And for some, the simplest life moments get...

As we approach another graduation season, an all too real reality is coming to many homes around the country. As children are walking across the stage, flipping their tassels, tossing their caps, parents are preparing for them to leave the nest. No matter how anticipated, there’s a heaviness that comes with seeing your babies fly their wings.  Some households like ours are kid-free. Yet, it’s stil...

The WNBA is back in the headlines again and that may not be so bad.  You know they say any attention is good attention. Hopefully the attention translates to viewership and sales. But what’s really good on the court filled with ladies? In a recent interview with Jemele Hill, several factors were outlined that highlighted sports dynamics taking place in the WNBA. What may be old to some and new to...

Back Like they never left, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence hit the box offices with the fourth installment of their action packed series Bad Boys. Like the previous releases, moviegoers packed the seats to see if it was worth the wait. Including us. And in our opinion, it definitely was. Does this mean the dark cloud has lifted after the Oscars incident involving Will Smith? Has he escaped cancel c...

Mama said knock you out…and that’s exactly what happened. The undefeated Gervonta Tank Davis did it again. As boxing fans gathered around the world in  front of televisions, in sports bars and the lucky ticket holders in the MGM Grand Arena in Ls Vegas, Tank and Frank Martin gave a show worthy of the cost. While some may have been rooting for the underdog, the champion was the victor yet again. Wh...

There are a lot of traditions we follow just simply because. Living in America, we tend to just say this is how we’ve always done things ga. But as we get older, if we stop to think for a moment, some things don’t really make sense as much sense as when the sold it to us. An ongoing corporate, societal and parent-child debate has been college. To go or not to go? Is it a necessity or just status?...

Everybody has an ex right? I mean after a certain age, you kinda start to collect them. Some are more memorable than others. Some are purposes erased from our minds as if to deny any affiliation ever existed. But what happens when the relationship ends but the connection is still there? What are the parameters when dealing with an ex? Some exes carry more weight that others. Literally. When an ex...

“Can’t stop, won’t stop” gotta different ring to it now. The tune makes you consider in what areas of life does one apply this mentality. Being driven is a great characteristic. But when your drive is fueled by ego which then makes you evil, you probably should stop. Stop all the evil doing in your life that you appear to be getting away with. But at what cost? As the old adage goes, what doesn’t...

You wanna make an angry black woman more angry? Call her an angry black Woman amd that’s exactly what you’ll get. But what really lies beneath what appears to be a hard exterior of our melanin dripping queens when they seem to be on ten and feels nobody listening? Maybe that’s just it. Nobody’s listening. If you’ve ever been to therapy (and if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?), then you’ve p...

In a society where male sports players are paid multimillion dollars, some would think the income disparity between male and female players is similar to other industries. And that assumption would be absolutely incorrect. In light of the recent 2024 WNBA Draft, we are witnessing salary gaps as large as 90%! How is this legal? Speaking of fairness is a moot point. Anyone who can do math obviously...

Shawn Carter wrote about it on track number 10, the last track of the 4:44 album. Although less popular, Eminem had a song by the same name in 2014. All of our lives, we’ve heard talks of how people are remembered after death. Their legacy. How much does your mean to you? In reality, we really have no control over how others think of us while living or after we crossover to the other side. We can...
