Dear Keith Lee, Thank You. Nov 01, 2023

Keith Lee came to Atlanta to eat and that’s exactly what happened.

Holding On For Dear Life Oct 25, 2023

This ended up being a (insert time here) long testimony. Sorry, not sorry.

It Never Gave Will & Jada Oct 21, 2023

But we just need our girl to be okay. Also go buy her book for the real story: “Worthy” is available for purchase now.

Whitreearchy Sep 13, 2023

Customer service letters, defending black women is back on the docket, and cop city (cop cop city).

Blacks for Mooses Aug 30, 2023

This episode wasn't supposed to be funny, but here we are.

Random Men From Atlanta Aug 23, 2023

Obio’s on a yacht this episode, but since we just because friends he still hopped on— just because.

The Pain is at a TEN Aug 16, 2023

TRIGGER WARNING. Today we're discussing factors surrounding the Maternal Vulnerability Index for black woman through the heart wrenching lens of Jessica Ross and her family's recent loss. Did you know that according to the CDC 80% of pregnancy related deaths are preventable by medical staff?

Brief Notes on Freedom Aug 09, 2023

We cut it short today. Points were made, and you gotta know when there's just nothing left to say. When there's nothing for you to add.

15 Wings Aug 02, 2023

Everybody’s black card got revoked this episode— except Madame VP Harris.

We Want Accomplices ft. Hope Giselle Jul 26, 2023

We got our first guest y’all! Our sis Hope Giselle pulled up on us and gave us vocab and assignments. Assignment one: no more allies— we need accomplices. (Some of y’all outside, but you not really outside and we don’t like that.)

Obio’s Sneezes Have Entered The Chat Jul 19, 2023

The beginning of this episode is everything you need to be the healthiest you this year— but don’t worry, we quickly transition into the antics and receipts you came for.

Breadloser Jul 12, 2023

It's giving one order of couples therapy and a side of social media timeout. That should do it!

Boneless Blazer Jun 28, 2023

Cut Obio’s mic. Lynae too.

Our Car Was In The Shop Jun 28, 2023

It was beyond us last week, but we back with a ranty drop. Who else feel like Lynae yelling at them?

Do we want chaos? Jun 14, 2023

In this episode, we took a conversation from Twitter and wanted to talk about navigating peace. Interestingly enough, Obio's bored with peace, Lynae's balancing work and personal, and Sim is just happy to be enjoying the Southern energy of it all. Question, where did you see yourself in your late twenties/early thirties?

Happy Pride? Jun 07, 2023

Happy Pride! This episode dives into the complexities of telling queer stories and advocating for the collective liberation of marginalized people. We wanted to explore the politics of masculinity while being gay and also the nuance of gay lingo going mainstream. Hope you enjoy!

It's something wrong with y'all. May 31, 2023

Trigger warning: This episode includes conversation about physical, verbal, and emotional abuse as well as grooming.

We're sure you're aware of the passing of the Legend, Tina Turner. What surprised us was the resurfacing of her domestic abuse to honor her life, so we felt it necessary to unpack the way we treat abuse, especially with celebrities. Tina Turners career is filled with accolades yet her abusive relationship has been put in the forefront more than we’re comfortable with. This conversation got a little heavy but it was definitely an important heavy.

Is it hood boy joy? May 24, 2023

Whew! The people are buying couches off the street in New York, the kids are treating prom like the Met (theme: Love and Hip Hop but make it formal), and Ja Morant was on Live waving a gun. Just listen to the episode cause it's a lot happening at once.

We All Got That One Fren.. May 17, 2023

a great artist doesn’t automatically make a great person. we’re diving into the complexity of being in the public eye while still having a human experience. we agreed to disagree a few times in this conversation and got a lesson in “spicy black” thanks to the Little Mermaid.

Leave Beyoncé Out Of It May 10, 2023

In this episode, we wanted to dive into the complexities of blackness and religious rhetoric. “I haven’t been Jackie Hill Perry’d” Obio says, but how many people have? We hold language accountable through historical context and of course, some humor. Lynaes line for line breakdown of Jackie Hill Perry’s video puts things in perspective while Sim holds space for all religious and spiritual practices.

Freaknik Aunties Apr 26, 2023

*Trigger Warning* This episode involves graphic discussions of sexual violence that may trigger victims or sexual assault or violence. | On today’s episode we get into talks about the upcoming Freaknik documentary by Hulu and how The Wildest Party Never Told was probably the cringiest picnic that we have many questions about.

We Out Here Apr 26, 2023

Okay so apparently there was an episode before this, but we can neither confirm nor deny that. But, tap in for all the things you can expect on this very wild ride of a podcast. (& don’t forget to give us feedback in the reviews!)
