What made Marjorie Taylor Green think she could come for Rep Jasmine Crocket and survive? Did we learn nothing from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef? *sigh* In this bonus episode, we talk about our experiences with people writing checks their 🍑 can't cash, and getting publicly eviscerated.

We mention a very funny human that you should check out online and in person. Here is his Instagram - Maronzio Vance Instagram

We know him as Don's former roommate who proved that you don't have to be a celebrity to be roasted for two-hours straight. You know him as an actor and comedian who has starred alongside George Lopez, and written for some of your favorite shows. If you get a chance to see him live, do that.

Chat & Bother is back for season two! In this episode, Don and Eva deliver the results of the Q&A Sunday polls on Instagram, talk about Brian McKnight's decision to cut off his kids from his previous marriage, calling them "products of sin," and discuss how cutting off family members the right way can lead to a more peaceful life.

Do you think people are out there regularly cutting off family members? Are they ghosting or explaining their reasons for exiting the relationship? The poll results provide a fascinating glimpse into how the Chat & Bother audience grapples with the notion of cutting off family members. It ain't easy... or is it?

Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, laughter, and thought-provoking conversations as Eva and Don kick off Season Two with a topic that hits close to home for many and tackle one of the most challenging aspects of family life. Whether you're nodding along in agreement or squirming in discomfort, this premiere promises to kick off Season Two with a bang.

How does Gen X measure up in the formality department? Join Don and Eva as they discuss cultural nuances, family dynamics, and the mathematical formula you have to use when addressing family members. When are you on a first-name basis? When must you use titles like "auntie," "uncle," "mister," or "miss."

Are millennials too laid-back or simply redefining what it means to show respect? Is Gen Y missing the mark on formality, or are they pioneering a new era of cultural, familial, and societal norms? What is your formula when it comes to addressing your loved ones or strangers?

In this episode, Eva and Don discuss the unexpected parallels of their childhoods that transcended geography and culture. It turns out that the human experience knows no borders. One might expect Trinidadian/South Carolinian and Delawarean/Alabamian childhoods to be worlds apart, but this episode will make you wonder if they secretly shared a childhood handbook. It's the episode that proves that hilarious family stories (about goats) are universal.

How did you learn about the birds and the bees? The circle of life? While this episode won't require earmuffs for big kids, it's up to you to decide. Consider this fair warning that Don and Eva will discuss some topics that you may not be ready to bring to the family dinner table discussion. It turns out that explaining the mysteries of life and death isn't as straightforward as the birds, bees, and swallowing watermelon seeds.
