The Devyn Zoolander Show

What happens when a passive-aggressive 30-something, Black nerd with an obsession for 90s nostalgia decides to spill his guts on a microphone? You get a roller coaster ride of highs and lows featuring toxic relationship advice, hilarious road rage stories, and overly harsh critiques about R&B music. Each week I sit down with folks that don’t have “real jobs” because as a late bloomer with a creative spirit, I know what it’s like to dream big only to have those dreams dashed by loved ones that don’t understand my vision. Shout out to the people working unorthodox jobs that they love.
