First Class Friendships | EP 57 Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back Thickums! We’re diving into the complex dynamics of friendship this week and using Savannah James as the catalyst to the convo. We kick things off with the viral clip that has everyone talking—she flies first class while her best friend fly business and pays her own way. If we were billionaires, how far would our generosity actually extend? Would we upgrade the whole crew, or are there boundaries?

We segue into Chris Rock’s story about a childhood friend who was wrongfully imprisoned for 19 years that asked Rock for help with his legal fees. Chris Rock refused and says he will help his friends out but his hard line is he doesn’t pay for legal fees. Does having the means to help someone mean we should?

As per usual, we delved into the latest pop culture topics like Gypsy Rose’s fiancé passing away, Candace Owens is wlw I guess, Amanda Seales’ diss track and much more.

The news is light this week but the convo isn’t, so get comfy, lock in and enjoy this episode of The Thick!

The Black School Dilemma | EP 56 Oct 01, 2026

Show notes

This week on The Thick, we unpack Nikole Hannah-Jones’ decision to send her daughter to an under-resourced, predominantly Black public school and the complicated decision Black parents face: Is a “good” school worth being racially ostracized? We unpack this discussion, the intense criticism Hannah-Jones received for her decision, and the tradeoffs Black parents navigate with this decision.

In the news, we break down the latest developments in the Nolan Wells case, the Cornell sexual-assault case, Title IX rollbacks, and more.

Then in pop culture: the VMAs, Taylor Swift’s underwhelming new album, and Mariah Carey’s Billboard record somehow being broken by a song we’ve never even heard.

Education, race, parenting, opportunity, justice, and a little pop culture mess—we’re getting into everything!

Who Run The World? Bots | EP 55 Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Gas prices are up, the press pool is out, and the Internet isn’t real! This week on The Thick we dive into our news and pop culture catch up, including Hasan Piker’s Clock It interview, KWN’s “joke” of a crush on KeKe Palmer, #EmmysSoWhite, and the untimely passing of Presley Gerber.

Then we detour into the Patrick Clancy and Rachel Danis interview on 60 Minutes and how one viral post became a textbook example of Dead Internet Theory. What happens when we can no longer tell who, or what, we’re conversing with online? Bots and AI agents can create content, write comments, drive engagement…sooo what’s the point anymore?

New York Fashion Weak | EP 54 Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

Is gatekeeping always a bad thing? This is what we’re delving into this week on The Thick. The “mid-tier” events have disappeared which has led to influencers occupying spaces once reserved for established entertainers, insiders and celebrities. The VMAs, AMAs, Billboard Awards, Hip-Hop Awards, etc were stages that bridged the gap between the obscure and the A-list. Now it seems like if you have a phone and a following, you can be at the Met Gala.

We’re not arguing that this new found access is bad—its a good thing! But what happens when the barrier to entry is so low that talent and originality become more diluted—does exclusivity actually serve a purpose?

We unpack and delve into the news cycle with Mitch McConnell coming back from the dead, Trump bribing Americans with imaginary checks again, and Jasmine Crockett’s poor decision making, plus so much more!

There’s no gatekeeping here, so grab a seat and let’s unpack.

Cutie Patootie vs Baddies | EP 53 Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Are you a cutie patootie or a baddie? This week on The Thick, we ask the important questions before diving into everything else going on the world.

In the news, we break down the House condemning socialism and the Lindsay Clancy trial ending in a mistrial. Then it’s pop-culture catch-up: Beyoncé’s box, P!nk calling out Macklemore over his advocacy, + more!

For our main topic, we talk through Keith Lee thanking God for protecting his family after a crash caused by a drunk driver, while another person tragically lost their life. What does it mean to publicly call yourself blessed in the wake of someone else’s tragedy? We unpack the way people talk about divine protection and favor. If God intervenes to save one person, what does that say about the person who wasn’t saved?

And somewhere between politics, theology and pop culture, we also determine whether we are cutie patooties or baddies. What do yall think?

Scam Likely | EP 52 Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

Welcome back Thickums! This week is all about people overly committed to the lie. We discuss Angel Murdock who posed as a Duke University PA student and Daejon Love, who took the internet by storm with his NFL-player persona.

We skipped our usual news segment this week and kept the convo light with pop culture including Doja Cat’s opening up, the D4vid trial, and our random catch ups and Tabria’s catfish story, lol. Grab a seat, relax and enjoy the laughs this week on The Thick!

Survival of the Thickest | EP 51 Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

This week is all about survival tactics—how to prepare for inclement weather and extended power outages. We go over basic survival essentials everyone should have on hand to make it through tough times. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready!

We also catch up on the week’s news and pop-culture chaos: the beef shortage, the trade-war with Canada, Callaway’s distasteful G\golf ad, and Enes Kanter’s latest WNBA debacle.

Tune in for a mix of useful prep advice and everything else you expect here on The Thick!

Thick Chat VI | Ep 50 Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

It’s a Thick Chat week, which means no main topic—we’re letting the conversation go wherever it wants to.

We’re catching up on everything that’s been happening from Luigi Mangione pleading guilty to Orlando Brown vs. Ray J in the ring.

We go off on a few tangents and also talk OxyShred, college freshmen spending $20K decorating their dorm rooms, our Halloween plans, and whatever else crosses our minds along the way.

No theme, just thoughts, with Tabrindy!

Everybody’s Phobic | EP 49 Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

This week, we’re unpacking the TikTok discourse that somehow got even messier than last week! We unpack the conversation around Drew Afualo and ER Fightmaster’s comments on cis and trans experiences of womanhood, and ask who gets to define what a “beautiful” experience of being a woman actually looks like. Then, Jools Lebron’s GoFundMe sparks another debate: when you have millions of followers, is it fair to ask them for money, or is that exactly what community is for? We also touch on biphobia and dating preferences.

Plus, the biggest stories of the week: the latest in the Lindsey Clancy trial, Royce White’s WNBA aspirations, Perez Hilton, and plenty more chaos.
