Episode 6: Interested Men Act Interested...But It's the Audacity for Me
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......
Episode 5: Interested Men Act Interested...Even if They’re Married
Your guys are back and having a lot of fun with our guests Geraldine and Usson. Two single adults with some experience under their belts, letting us know what their respective dating “streets” look like. After listening in we start to wonder, why are their experiences so diametrically opposed?
Listen up…..Trust us, you’ll have some fun with this one.
Episode 4: Fatherhood, Part 2
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......
Episode 3: Fatherhood, Part 1
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!
Episode 2: The Pursuit of Therapy
We are joined by Dr. Christina Gerdes, asking the question "where do therapists come from"?

Episode 16: On the Right Side of History (Part 2)
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

Episode 13: This One Hit Differently
Episode 12: My Friends Better Than Your Friends
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.
Episode 11: The Doctors Are in the House (Literally)
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.

Episode 7: Broke Boy Coverage
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.

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?
