Unfortunately, this episode will be cut short due to a file corruption. We apologize for this mistake and it won't happen again. However, the 4 friends still found a way to talk about Erykah Badu's vagina-scented incense, as well as "hoe phases". 

This episode was truly a great discussion around topics like race and power. To kick things off, a conversation was developed around the question: are all cops bad? That in turn, led to the three friends talking about power, in many different contexts like law enforcement, parenting, and criminal activity. This initial topic led to discussions around love and fear, and also, how little control we have as human beings. To close, there was a dialogue around the unity of black men and women or lack there of.  We love you. BE GREAT!

Piggybacking off that, Terris wanted to get the group's thoughts on the Kanye West and Kid Cudi situation.  To cap off the episode, they shared a multitude of coping mechanisms to get through all of life's heartbreaks.

 On this episode, with the absence of Freddie & Shekinah, Terris & Deron have a genuine conversation about music, food, and life lessons. The two friends essentially allow the listeners to sit in on a typical "Terris & Deron conversation". From Terris getting trigger happy with the soundboard to Deron's natural ability to seamlessly drop gems, this episode should be nothing short of a great listen. Have a great week and be great y'all. 

On this week's episode of the JCP, the audience gets a taste of the crew's fourth member, Freddie Allen III.
