Show notes

Greetings and salutations friends, lovers and bammas alike. This week on the show, we sit down with our good good friend Rasheed Hamid and talk about the release of his page turning, self published memoir, "Hello, My Name Is..." Our "non-spoiler" conversation covered the crafting of this book and why Rasheed needed this story to be told. Elsewhere, the crew covered the latest in news and fuckery. From the National emergency at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to the latest surrounding Jussie Smollett. So sit back, pour something out and enjoy. As always.

Ep. 135 - Virginia is For Lovers...of Blackface Feb 11, 2019

Show notes

Greetings and salutations friends, lovers and bammas alike. This, the second week of the oddest Black History Month ever, we talked about the northern most Confederate state and it's favorite pastime, Blackface; how ICE is coming for all of us, and how ultimately this is all Trump's fault. Can we just unplug February for a few minutes and plug it back in again? Can we do the second for America? All this and more, this week on the Brown Liquor Report. #DontStopListenListen #blackface #virginia #scandal #hotmess #democrats #jimcrow

Ep. 134 - The Cave in the Rose Garden Jan 28, 2019

Show notes

Greetings and salutations friends, lovers and bammas alike. This week, the Cheeto in chief finally folded to Speaker for Life, Nancy Pelosi, reopening the government and conceding this round of the Petty Wars after 36 days of bluster and bullshit. This served as a nice distraction from early morning arrest of recently indicted Trumpkin and Batman villain Roger Stone, who most likely started life as that smirking kid we all wanted to face punch and simply grew into his evil. Also Kamala Harris announced her campaign for the Presidency and the timeline couldn't wait to be like...nawl. All this and more, this week on the Brown Liquor Report. #dontstoplistenlisten #podcast #podsincolor #shitshow

We discuss the ashy backlash to Gillette's new ad telling Future to do better, the "legendary" status of Souljaboytellem and how clapback game of our real President, Belcalis Almanzar. All this and more on the Brown Liquor Report. #DontStopListenListen

Ep. 132 - Make Panem Great Again Jan 14, 2019

Show notes

Greetings and salutations, friends, lovers and bammas alike; and welcome to the 2019 Hunger Games! This week we try to figure out what stage of the Hunger Games we are in. Is Twitler President Snow, is AOC Katniss, is Beto making dresses in the Capitol? We. Don't. Know. And in this dystopian now, what does justice look like and is it even universally accepted? We tackle all this and more with a little help from Stillhouse bourbon, this week on The Brown Liquor Report. #DontStopListenListen #BLR

Ep. 131 - The Boogeyman Has Grammys Jan 07, 2019

Show notes

Merry New Year and welcome back friends, lovers and bammas alike. The Brown Liquor Report is back for the 99 and the 2000s with an all-new episode. This week we discussed dream hampton's new "Surviving R. Kelly" docuseries and the conversations the powerful series is evoking. Elsewhere in the dystopia, Twitler refuses to play nice with the other big kids and is keeping the federal government closed indefinitely until he gets his big, shiny, beautiful monument to racism. The 116th Congress was sworn in and Missy Anne Pelosi is coming for her things, so we talked about how things will never be the same for the Tweeter-in-Chief. It was a lot, but don't worry; we'll hold you hands through it all, as we always do. So pour something out and sit a spell. #BLR #DontStopListenListen

Ep. 130 - 2018 Drove Us To Drink (feat. Jay Connor of The Extraordinary Negroes) Dec 27, 2018

Show notes

Merry Chrimmuh, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy Holidays, friends, lovers and bammas alike. In our last episode of the longest year ever, the BLR crew was joined by our good-good friend and Extraordinary Negro, Jay Connor. We talked about the future of podcasting and how Black folks can and will shape it. We also talked about what on the timeline drove us to drink. From the general fuckery and foolishness coming from the White House, to Pusha and Drake's spat; all was covered in our barely sober style. Sit back, pour something out and enjoy as we recap the longest year in recorded history. #DontStopListenListen #BLR #ExtraordinaryNegro

Ep. 129 - The Next POTUS Could Be From Baltimore Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

Greetings friends, lovers, and bammas alike. After a week of rest and recovery, the BLR crew is back at it with all the news, worthy to talk shit about. What began as a bad week for Sweet Potato Saddam, turned worse by the day, as more and more of the Confederacy of Dunces surrounding the Felon-in-Chief were sentenced to JAIL jail for their many, many crimes. Twitler rounded out his week getting owned in the oval by the Democratic leadership, while his VEEP did rapture drills in the corner. Elsewhere, Kevin Hart provided a litmus test on empathy and forgiveness that way too many people failed in 2018. Also, we give our criteria for a King of R&B (spoiler alert: Jacquees...NO). All this and more, this week on the Brown Liquor Report. #DontStopListenListen #RaptureDrills #BLR

Ep. 128 - Word To Jeremiah Wright Dec 04, 2018

Show notes

Greetings and salutations, friends lovers and bammas alike, the BLR is back with another episode. This week, we talked Forever FLOTUS and her coddling of the constituency in favor of the campaign; Marc Lamont Hill losing one of his fiddy 'lem jobs for speaking truth to power regarding Palestinian human rights, and Mikey Cohen flipping like a dolphin at Sea World, bringing Mango Mussolini to the edge. All this and all the other newsworthy to talk shit about this week on the Brown Liquor Report. #DontStopListenListen #BLR

Ep. 127 - Mumbo Sauce For Colonizers: A Hate Story Nov 27, 2018

Show notes

Greetings and salutations, lovers, friends and bammas alike. We are back at, once again after a much-needed break with all the news, worthy to talk shit about. This was a short week filled with travel news. Nicki Minaj flew to China and got reverse Lauryn Hill'd. Problematic Preacher fave Jamal Bryant decided to take his talents down south to the A, as he takes over Eddie Longs' megachurch New Birth, and an American missionary illegally traveled to an uncontacted island and, well, didn't come back. Elsewhere the alleged Mayor of DC tried to tell a joke about mumbo sauce and no one laughed. Not a single person. No one. All that and more this week on the pod. Pour something out and set a spell. #BLR #DontStopListenListen
