EMVP

We are here for all the chivalry, but we get it, our queer love is all about having options.

Get in loser, we’re going live streaming. The longest vibe check in EMVP history.  Sit us in time out for our filthy mouths until our regularly scheduled programming next week.

Just because you're queer, doesn't mean you clear. The cookout is still curated.

June joy is here and Pride is in progress. 

Just hit play cause surprise surprise. This episode is like a box of chocolates.

Queer collabs are in abundance. J.Lo needs to report back to rom-com duty ASAP. We need an explanation for Labubus in designer in this recession and megachurch pastors flipping scams to turn water into wine? So we're getting into our selfish era too, choosing ourselves first, releasing what no longer serves us and trusting God to do the sorting.

Gemini season is already Gemining. The Knicks coming back got Chelsea saying, “what’s up big head”. With our pride and presence, Ironheart dares to exist, our statue in Times Square takes up space and we realize even blackness in bronze makes them uncomfortable. While the world sets us up for the hard fall, we know the cheat code is to remain soft.

How many likes does it take to get to the center of your self-worth? Shylo's defining her healthy, Chelsea's wondering if she's femme enough and Cassie's out here rebranding bravery. Meanwhile, Kendrick's ten toes down in sobriety, 3 Stacks is speaking in piano and Steve Lacy's holding albums hostage. Internal vs. External.

Almost skipped The Cowboy Carter Concert, thank God we didn't. Instead, we're just two baldhead scallywags blessed by Beyonce herself. But between the denim and the dandies and daddies of the Met Gala, there's real stuff. We talk the mental health taboos we're still not naming. Therapy? Get you some. Silence? Break it. Softness? Required.

Shout out to the women who shaped us. There will never be enough flowers. This week we talk about our first loves, the luggage we’ve inherited and the lessons we’ve learned.

Summer's coming, coochie cutters are defrosting, exes are calling and Shannon Sharpe is still flunking lessons on a syllabus Kehlani has aced by 30. And closure? Baby, that's a scam. Throw it in the Ex-Files and keep it moving.

Lauren Sanchez and Gayle King are busy being space cadets. Meanwhile, back here on earth, Tracie Ellis Ross is keeping us grounded and reminding us of the importance of living full lives even if it's just you and your red cup this summer...Solo.

Topic of the Week.

Why friendship break-ups hit different, Michelle Obama's surprising take on happiness, and WTF is happening on White Lotus?! queer cheers: @theliberatedchair

Question of the week.

Cuffing season is over and breakup season is upon us. Suns out, skins out. How to break up like an EMVP and not be a 'Havoc-Wreaker'. We're side-eyeing you cheaters, but leaving the door open for possible redemption.

Topic of the Week.

She’s not the only one, just the one this week that we're talking about. Sherri Shepherd dons her auntie wig to report on latest red carpet but irresponsibly removes it when Jonathan Majors enters her studio. Policing our bodies but not who harms them is wild.

Topic of the Week.

Being the CEO of Everything isn't always the power move it looks like. Unpacking hyper-independence and how to stop soloing when you're supposed to be in a duet.

How gay does your partner need to be? T-Hugs need to be studied. And why are men's egos so fragile? queer cheers: @_counter_culture

Half-steppin through apologies isn’t the defense you think it is.

Please don't stop the music. But definitely don't you EVAAAA piss in my overnight oats.

I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you'. Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt. That's what Maya Angelou had said.
