Happy Black History Month! 🎉 This episode is a joyful, chaotic, and deeply opinionated ride through pop culture, the craft of acting and a little side-eye at the internet.

We shout out Phoebe & Jay on PBS Kids (because yes, grab the kiddos to watch), unpack Tamika’s habit of ghosting professional connections (RIP shared resources), and get a VERY dramatic breakdown of the upcoming Bridgerton season—plus Tamika’s extremely late arrival to Yellowjackets. We also question why Tamika still has TikTok as she gears up to break down Bridgerton episodes there…hmmmmm.

From declaring (once again) that 9–5s are a scam, to diving deep into Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s In Proximity podcast episode about Sinners (truly elite listening), we talk actor hierarchy, what it really means to be number one on the call sheet, and whether some actors secretly struggle with a “supporting role” mindset. We dig into acting processes—Meisner technique, staying in character vs. switching it off, classic horror gems, and Tony Todd getting paid $1,000 per bee sting in Candyman (DEDICATION).

We close with big life questions: Do you have to be a people person to be an actor? Why is it so hard to ask for what you want? And… people who record themselves crying—are y’all okay?

Moral of the story, new motto unlocked: Ask for what you want and crown yourself.

This week’s episode is a wild ride—and a hard 21+ only warning is absolutely in effect. We kick things off realizing we desperately need a theme song, then somehow take a left turn straight into a nipple discussion (don’t ask… just listen). Tamika gives us an update on her knee after a very ambitious Field Day mishap, and we debate a very important cultural question: Do men in California actually open doors for women?

From there, we get into the downfall of TikTok, why Tamika wants to try on JoJo’s wig—and why that idea is getting shut down immediately—and celebrate a real milestone: a full month of keeping a quick weave intact. Growth!

We also talk representation done right with Stumble on Peacock, a show with a plus-size lead that we’re officially tuning into. We have a proposal for Dating apps, to require video introductions—because reading out loud tells you everything. And finally, Tamika reveals her newest, most serious ick: people who eat Chipotle with a spoon.

Messy, hilarious, and completely unhinged—in the best way. Tune in. 🎙️

⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode was previously recorded, so a few hot topics may now be lukewarm tea — but hey, who doesn’t love a little time travel with drama? Relive the past, enjoy the ride, and hush.

This week’s episode is a perfect snapshot of why nothing ever goes exactly as planned—and why we love it that way. We kick things off with a conversation about the evolution of fashion, including one trend we’re officially ready to retire: charm embroidery on jeans (it’s time to let it go). From there, chaos quickly ensues as the cohosts debate whose internet connection is unstable… only to discover (again) that Tamika’s WiFi is the real villain of the episode.

Speaking of reminders, Tamika is told for the 1000th time that Jojo is from North Carolina, not South Carolina—yes, there is a difference. We also debate the best way to travel (road trips forever!)… although one cohost absolutely hates them—can you guess who?

Jojo then blesses Tamika with a very necessary 30-minute recap of Tyler Perry’s Sistas seasons 6 through 10, which naturally leads to the big question: is Sistas a soap opera, and if not, what actually qualifies as one? From TV to real life, we talk about the importance of art imitating life, especially as more shows highlight the ongoing lack of care Black women face in medical spaces.

Just when things are getting deep—Tamika’s WiFi goes out again. We pivot (as always) to Verizon’s declining cell service, the ever-confusing definition of plus-size, and give flowers to Keshia Ka’oir for pioneering the cinched waist era. We also ask the important questions: should Niecy Nash drop an undergarment line (because bawdy is TEA), and is the Miami scene actually overrated?

The episode keeps rolling with conversations about acting alongside seasoned performers, an invitation for AWCY to experience Carnival properly, and a sobering realization that children may no longer be our future—because cursive, checks, and analog clocks are apparently extinct.

Naturally, we end on a tangent, because closing out an episode normally has never been our strong suit—and honestly, would you want it any other way? 🎙️✨
