    EPISODE 138: Cycle of Consideration.

    Welcome to another episode of the show! This week, we’re talking new music releases, recapping Valentine’s weekend reflections, and reacting to Jill Scott’s new album To Whom This May Concern. We also revisit the art of lying in classic R&B songs, build out a March Madness–style bracket for iconic 2000s R&B albums, and get into a hilarious but honest conversation about experiencing “post-nut clarity” from the other perspective. Plus, we discuss Dana Milbank’s three-day digital detox and what it reveals about our relationship with the internet as a whole. Tap in!

    EPISODE 137: Raisins in the Potato Salad.

    Welcome to another episode of the show! This week, we’re reacting to J. Cole’s new album The Fall-Off and what it means for his legacy, plus we gotta talk about Savannah James having the internet in an uproar after saying she likes the strip club. We also get into self-diagnosis culture vs. people living with real challenges, then zoom out and revisit the Telecommunications Act, and how its ripple effects still shape what we watch, post, and argue about today. And for a lighter moment, we’re running through some of the wildest “how did they get that off?” lyrics in hip hop and R&B. Tap in!
