Episode 101: We is back!! Your fave hipsters haven't been up to much since you last heard from us: Stanley is another year older, Shalwah has become Ty Dolla Sign's biggest fan and Rubirosa has changed the pizza scene for us both. We are praying and hoping 2021 is a much better year. With the vaccine already available to some, Covid developing another strain and a new season of Drag Race, it's definitely starting off to be interesting year.

Episode 95: The Census is the latest victim to fall prey to 2020. You know we could not avoid discussing the star of last week's VP debate: The Fly. Here's hoping he isn't too booked to appear on our podcast soon. Stanley has no love for the dopey character on television shows...is it because he might BE that person in real life? Why are email scams still a thing? Do they work? Should we get in on this?

Episode 93: There is nothing that we can say about the Breonna Taylor case that hasn't been said before but we send our sincerest condolences to her loved ones. The Oscar rules have changed their criteria in order to promote diversity and as expected, some are not happy about it. And these hipsters found good news coming out of San Fran: the city has started The Abundant Birth Project which seeks to help pregnant women of color. Applause to you on this one Cali!

Episode 92: Stanley and Shalwah discuss the unspoken, sometimes unexplainable kinship that is felt when you meet another black person even though they may be from a completely different country. Why can't we get enough of HGTV?! Is it a tornado, earthquake, hurricane or tsunami? We also pay respect to the trailblazing RBG.

Black Girl Magic was on full display this week with two of our fave singers Brandy and Monica on the latest offering from Verzuz. Our verdict: It was a win for the culture! Have you all heard this nonsense that New York is over?! It's laughable, dramatic and more than a little disrespectful to those that call it home. Like the many times in the past it has experienced rough times, the city that never sleeps will prove once again it is not down for the count.

Episode 86: It almost felt like a celebration when Kamala Harris was announced as Joe Biden's VP but it made us wonder what would an administration with two of our idols Mrs. Obama and Lady O look like...we want it! Appropriation strikes yet again with the 'Fox Eye" trend. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are getting lots of negative feedback because of their song WAP and we are not here for it!
