Episode 121: These two hipsters are finally back to recording together after Rona tried her very best to separate them! We are excited that Attack the Block has a planned sequel and equally (possibly more) thrilled that John Boyega is back in what we are hoping will be a role where he appears without a shirt for at least 85% of the time. Polygamy in the black community is and has been a thing for a while so let's take it off that insane list of "Things Black People Don't Do". The dynamics of an intimate or platonic relationship can be tricky but its important to understand when it no longer serves you.

Episode 120: We have no shame in saying television has played a role in keeping us sane during the past year. Jeopardy, Married at First Sight and all things HGTV are some of our guilty pleasures. We take a current look at questionable behavior on Real Housewives of Atlanta where one castmate is WAY too interested in another's vagina. COVID UPDATE: The CDC declares those who are fully vaccinated can go without masks...we'd like to keep it on please. Shalwah and Stanley also touch on Familect, those inside phrases and terms used by those within a family.

Episode 119: Krispy Kreme, Trader Joe's and other large companies are joining state and federal efforts to push people to get vaccinated. A free donut for a year, reduced price beers and paid time off are some of the great incentives being offered. We've all played Never Have I Ever and Would You Rather but the New York Times's "The 36 Questions That Lead to Love" might be the next best thing?

Episode 118: These two hipsters are definitely feeling pandemic fatigue but plans of New York completely opening up by the end of the month has us a little concerned. We reminisce on the days of being young, broke and traveling. A story of an elderly man taking makeup classes for his wife who is losing her vision has us feeling all the feels.

Episode 117: First things first, these hipsters sound off on Rupaul's Drag Race...and we promise, it is not a read. But also, how have your friendships changed or evolved during the pandemic? Studies show whose affected differently by isolation as a result of that bitch Rona. Plus, understanding our American privilege during these times and how can change our priorities to be less, well, the f*cking worst?

Episode 116: With the insane amount of TV shows available on the endless amounts of streaming programs, it is surprising that the "quality" of shows seems to be so low. Is it too much to ask that Black programming be entertaining, well written AND not about racial trauma?! Who was the test audience for this show?

Episode 115: How does your socioeconomic status affect your psychology and social outlook? It should come to no surprise that the value of those who make more money do not align with those who make less. Our two fav hipsters also discuss coffee, clothes and take a moment to remember the late DMX.

Episode 114: Shalwah gives us a weekly Cuomo Update and no ya'll, it isn't good news. Queerbaiting isn't new but as discussions around the topic continue to grow more people are becoming aware and taking issue. Let's get into it.

Episode 113: Racial issues do be complex ya'll. There are differences between being prejudice, bias AND (pause for dramatic effect) racist. You think it's about time we all start educating ourselves on these differences?! Evanston, Illinois has recently introduced a plan for reparations. While the program isn't perfect we do think it's a good place to start!

Episode 112: Is someone just a psychopath or a full-on sociopath if they relax at home in jeans? Also, Kirk Franklin took some heat when audio leaked of his argument with his son but can we pass judgement without the full context? And, former "Zaddy" Andrew Cuomo is the latest to be accused of sexual harassment and misconduct (yes, men are out here continuing to be messy). But why is President Biden being asked about this local shit?

Episode 111: Racism incident of the day comes courtesy of our latest Karen, Sharon Osbourne. A simple question during a talk show segment turned into a display of privilege, hostility and good ole racism. Honesty, racism isn't anything new but some people behave like they never heard the term and others flat out don't believe it exists! These people need prayer, an exorcism and a real good therapist.

Episode 110: These two hipsters saw Coming 2 America and were thoroughly entertained! Sequels can go either way and after 30 years we were glad to visit Zamunda again. We also discuss black movies and Shalwah gives us her own ideas for movie remakes. All you studio execs out there better pay attention!

Episode 109: Family can be tricky and often very complicated but when and where should you draw the line when it comes to ignorant relatives? Golden Globes, Emmy's, Oscars...meh. We say bring back Soul Train, The Source and the MTV Awards! Do we even have to say where we stand on the Anti-Asian attacks that have been rising in the U.S? Racial hate of any kind especially against groups of color stems from white supremacy. Let's unite people.

Episode 108: Disgraced drag queen Sherry Pie recently appeared on the Tamron Hall Show and the innanet had quite the stir. FKA Twigs' interview centering on a past abusive relationship brings up the not uncommon trend of blaming the victims. Sometimes these hipsters get deep ya'll.

Episode 107: For us Malcolm and Marie was an interesting study on the complex dynamics of a relationship. For nearly two hours, Zendaya and John David Washington argue, yell, and basically eviscerate each other with their words. Are real relationships like this? When arguing where is the line between fair game and hitting below the belt? How does self worth play into the equation? Why did John David Washington spend most of the movie with his shoes still on? Yes, we get into it!

Episode 106: How many of us were educated about credit before we started off on our own? For many of us credit scores and the information surrounding it still remain a mystery. This week our guest Bonita Grant breaks down some of the myths surrounding good vs bad credit, how to build it and how it affects many areas of our lives. Now that we have this information, we'll be getting in line for our own Tesla!

Episode 105: Look, we aren't old but we remember the days of T9 text messages, VCRs and paper address books. We have a love/hate relationship with social media and the controversy surrounding social media's Silhouette Challenge makes us cringe more than a little. Is broadcast television still a thing? With Netflix, Hulu and over 300 streaming programs in the U.S. is it really necessary to tune into cable? We've known for a while that Shalwah is a woman of many talents; add Superbowl producer to the list.

Episode 104: We spend the top of the episode talking about something that is near and dear to both our hearts, FOOD! We are all in for disciplining your children but with all the information out there about the possible negative effects, is spanking still a good method of punishment? He has a great career, he is kind, he treats his momma right but...he has several children by multiple women. Red flag or nah?

Episode 103: If you know these hipsters then you know Drag Race is one of our favorite shows. The latest episode served shady entertainment but also made us take a look at gender politics. We all know kids have what seems endless amounts of energy but are schools doing more harm than good by stripping kids of their much needed recess time?

Episode 102: We are not here for the negativity when it comes to the delicious Michael B. Jordan making it Instagram official with Lori Harvey. The new couple is cute and as long as he continues to appear in abbreviated clothing every so often; these two hipsters are more than satisfied. Divorce can be messy but what really has us trippin' is the growing cases of men seeking spousal support from their wives!
