About this listen

Welcome to Season 3, and we’re already tired 😮‍💨. 2026 has officially started testing Jojo’s patience at work, so you know the vibes are real. This episode is a true culture grab bag as we dig into Cam Newton’s recent interviews—are we watching honest conversations, or a full-blown sociology experiment for clicks?

We break down award season chaos, from Sinners getting snubbed into a commercial break to celebrating Teyana Taylor’s Golden Globe win 🏆, and why Black spaces still matter deeply when it comes to recognition. We also talk hypersexualization in movies, revisit the classic I Am Sam, and debate whether today’s writers are forced to spoon-feed audiences thanks to shrinking attention spans.

Plus, we get a surprise call from Susie, side-eye rappers sharing the same dating pool, give flowers to Stranger Things for elite marketing, and react to Netflix’s new show His & Hers. We also touch (very briefly) on topics we absolutely refuse to touch—yes, that one involving Joe Budden and Keke Palmer 🚫.

Somewhere between being exhausted, wishing Chris would go on tour, campaigning to get our cohost cast in a music video, and mourning the lost craftsmanship of beauticians in the era of ready-made wigs and boho braids, we ask the bigger question: where did the creativity go?

Tap in—Season 3 is already unhinged. 🎙️🔥
