• BONUS EPISODE: Did We Learn Nothing from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar Beef?
    May 17 2024

    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.

  • Hey Auntie! How Do You Navigate Generational Etiquette?
    Dec 18 2023

    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?

  • The Goat Episode: Are We REALLY That Different After All?
    Dec 4 2023

    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.
