Part Two of our conversation with Geraldine and Usson. Two single adults with some experience under their belts, letting us know what their respective dating “streets” look like. 

In the epic conclusion of this NOT two-part event, we break down the weighted difference between dating vs. married, the audacity at the attempt of coupling today, and where our experiences have brought us to this point......

We continue the conversation of fatherhood and ask the question where were our fathers when we were younger and what impact did that have on us.....

This is in light of Nick Cannon's now infamous "Hollywood Triplets" (patent pending). 3 fresh babies in the month of June and 4th as far back as six months ago in December. If you've lost count, it's not only you, we have as well! But that's 7 in total (and counting) with four women. 

Sir Cannon can definitely afford them as he is the definition of a media mogul, but it takes more than money though, right? Time, Presence, Legacy, what and how do we as men responsibly execute being a father? We're not sure we even know......

We are ALIVE! Don't get it twisted, the fellas are still here! 

It was important to us that we came back with this episode in honor of all the fathers out there trying their best to figure it out everyday.

Happy Father's Day Gentlemen!

We are joined by Dr. Christina Gerdes, asking the question "where do therapists come from"?

In a profession underrepresented by Black and brown service providers, we discuss the young doctor’s journey to becoming a psychiatrist and the owner of her own private practice. We ask that you join us again for another profile in our NOT highlight series of Black entrepreneurs.

Season 2 Baby!!

The NOT boys are back! Live in person, the audio is crisp and we are kicking off a new season of Pod'in!

It's the day before Thanksgiving and we are here in our Cosby sweaters giving thanks. Are we allowed to make a Cosby reference anymore? Anyway, this was fun getting back in front of each other talking some news of the times, this unforgettable year, and dropping bombs on ya heads.....All you got to do is press play!!

B-Sides Vol. 2: Purchasing new toys......These women don't need no man.......and Forever........Forever Ever.......Forever Ever???

Introducing B-Sides: The Fellas are having a little more fun...with this cutting room floor series.

The Fellas are joined by Carl’s brother Ke’Shawn, aka @Kingflexxa. That's with two XXs, we'll let him tell you why.

He shares a fun, crazy, and inspirational story of persistence that took him from a DMV HBCU to Brand Ambassador for one of the biggest media moguls of our generation. Join us as we start our NOT highlight series of Black entrepreneurs.

Stay tuned, more to come!

As we continue our conversation from Part 1, we examine the terminal results of systemic racism for these black men and women that we continue to lose. Why is it so difficult to understand the community’s requests for reform? We focus on the lack of police accountability, laws purposefully created for enslavement, and how our democracy has failed.

The NBA "almost" shutdown.........and then it didn't. We are talking about what does it mean in the forefront, background, and reading between the lines of what we saw from the Association

You already know what we talking about. Jada's "Entangled",  Will has been crying,  Aug is NOT a homewrecker, and do we really know any more than we did before this whole Red Table Talk?

We finally have a wife in the house! And it’s NOT Carl’s.

We’re talking the whos, whens, hows, and whys of friends. What are these relationships based on--how do we navigate them and their importance in our lives? We’re not sure we figured it out, but we had fun and got a little confused somewhere in between.

Quarantine week fifty-leven and we are all struggling a bit to keep our sanity. We invited some medical practitioners (Cynthia, Omar, and Johnathan) to provide some perspective around the issues we all have been watching, reading, and dealing with personally. Follow us @Notovertext on IG and if you have any questions for the doctors please reach out to us at Notovertext@gmail.com.

Your life is your most valuable asset, but have you secured it? We’re talking to our brother and partner @weinsurenyc about how people need to stop buying what they want and start buying the things they actually need. In the wake of the untimely death of Kobe Bryant, we feel this discussion is even more important for us all to think about and more importantly do something with regards to it.

The Fellas are joined by their first-ever guest! We bring in Sem's generation Z sister, Setonji (IG: @setonjiii), to discuss what are we missing as old, washed men when it comes to social media communities.

We ask about growing up with social media: can we be over-connected with each other? Are we caping by only posting our "positives"? And are we posting for ourselves or those watching?
