This week on Out The Blue, Chris Blue and Zha’bria get into the unwritten boyfriend rules during her period: what women expect, what men don’t understand, and whether the best move is snacks, space, or simply knowing when to keep quiet.

We also dive into the newly announced Usher and Chris Brown tour and the bigger conversation around it. Seeing legendary R&B artists back on stage together should be exciting, but when one night out can turn into a $500 to $1,000 decision after tickets, fees, parking, and food, are concerts becoming something only rich people can enjoy? Is that on the artists, or are Ticketmaster and resellers the real problem? Plus, we ask the ultimate question: who, dead or alive, would make you choose the concert over the electric bill?

Then we react to the Artemis II crew making history after safely returning from their trip around the moon, including Victor Glover becoming the first Black astronaut to make the journey. And yes, we have to address it: the flat earth theory still makes absolutely no sense.

To close things out, we get into the latest Pooh Shiesty and Gucci Mane conversation and ask the bigger questions: can you still call yourself “street” after you get rich? At what point does survival matter more than pride? What happens when the image doesn’t match the real person?

And of course, we spin the wheel at the end for one more wild conversation you definitely don’t want to miss.

This week on Out The Blue, we had to talk about Druski’s viral “How Conservative Women in America Act” skit — the one that had social media arguing all week. Some people thought it was hilarious satire, while others felt like he crossed a line because many believed the character was aimed at Erika Kirk. Things got even crazier when Donald Trump publicly said she should “sue” Druski after the video exploded online with over 180 million views.

Then we get into the Pooh Shiesty situation, because this story sounds almost unreal. After getting out and looking like he was ready for a comeback, Pooh Shiesty is now facing federal robbery and kidnapping charges. According to prosecutors, he and several others allegedly set up a meeting at a Dallas studio connected to a dispute over his deal with Gucci Mane’s 1017 label, and things turned into an armed takeover. If the allegations are true, this could completely change the future of his career.

We also discuss the Jaden Ivey and Chicago Bulls controversy. The Bulls waived Ivey after anti-LGBTQ comments he made during an Instagram video, where he criticized the NBA’s support of Pride Month and framed it through his religious beliefs. Now everybody is debating where the line is between faith, free speech, accountability, and whether the league applies those standards equally to everybody.

And of course, at the end of the episode, we spin the wheel and let fate decide what crazy topic we’re talking about next.

Tap in with us for another real conversation full of culture, controversy, and unfiltered opinions.

This week on *Out The Blue Podcast*, Chris and Zha’bria are coming in HOT — because if you’re a North Carolina Tar Heels fan, you already know this one hurts. The Tar Heels getting bounced early from the NCAA Tournament? Yeah… we had to sit with that. Chris breaks down exactly why this loss hit different, from expectations to reality, and what this early exit says about the state of Carolina basketball right now. It’s frustration, heartbreak, and real fan perspective all in one.

Then the energy shifts to one of the biggest nights in entertainment — the Oscars — where *Sinners* didn’t just show up… it made HISTORY. With 16 nominations (the most ever for a single film), the conversation had to be had. Chris and Zha’bria dive into Ryan Coogler finally getting his first Oscar, Michael B. Jordan winning Best Actor on his first nomination (cementing his place in history as one of the few Black men to ever do it), and the film’s overall impact despite losing Best Picture. They also highlight wins like Autumn Durald Arkapaw breaking barriers in cinematography and Ludwig Göransson continuing his dominant run with another Oscar. Beyond the awards, the bigger question is this: does *Sinners* prove that original films can still win big in today’s industry?

And just when you think the episode slows down — it doesn’t. Latto shook the internet with one of the most unexpected announcements of the year, revealing her pregnancy through her *Big Mama* album rollout. From the cover art to the “Business & Personal” visuals, everything felt intentional, personal, and strategic. With subtle nods to 21 Savage and a rollout that blends real life with marketing, it sparks a real conversation: are artists now expected to turn their personal lives into content? And if so… where do you draw the line?

This episode is a full ride — from Tar Heels heartbreak, to historic wins, to culture-shifting moments in music. Real reactions, real opinions, and conversations you won’t get anywhere else.

And of course… it wouldn’t be *Out The Blue* without the chaos. No script, no safety net — just a spin of the wheel that decides where the conversation goes next. You already know… anything can happen.

In this episode, we dive into some wild headlines and real-life reflections across culture, sports, and relationships. We start with the shocking story of a woman accused of attempted murder after a shooting at Rihanna’s mansion, where Ivanna Ortiz is now reportedly facing 10 felony charges connected to the incident. We break down what happened, how situations like this escalate, and the bigger conversation around celebrity homes becoming targets.

Then we switch gears to sports and react to Bam Adebayo’s insane 83-point performance, discussing whether performances like this signal a different level of dominance or if the context behind the game changes how we should look at it.

The conversation then moves into relationships and emotional growth after Ari Lennox shared that she wishes she gave more attention to people with genuine, positive energy earlier in life instead of being drawn to toxic dynamics. We talk about why people sometimes gravitate toward chaos, how maturity changes what you value in relationships, and what it looks like to start recognizing healthier energy in the people around you.

And to close the episode out, we spin the wheel and let fate decide the final topic of the night — leading to another unpredictable conversation you definitely don’t want to miss.

After getting knocked out by a random sickness, we’re finally back behind the mics. This week we kick things off talking about securing tickets for J. Cole’s The Fall-Off Tour, including the huge hometown stop happening in Fayetteville at Crown Coliseum later this year. The tour supports his upcoming album The Fall Off and will hit more than 50 cities worldwide before wrapping the North American leg in the Ville on September 23.

Bria also recaps her trip to Raleigh to see Monaleo live, and we get into the concert experience and what the show was like.

From there the conversation turns a little heavier as we discuss rising tensions involving Donald Trump and the situation with Iran, plus a growing legal conversation around the impact of social media and whether these platforms should be held responsible for the effects they have on users.

Of course we had to tap into hip-hop drama too, reacting to the latest tension between T.I. and 50 Cent, a feud that’s recently been playing out online and even pulling in family members.

Then we answer one of the most ridiculous debates we’ve seen floating around: Is North Carolina actually part of the South?

And like always, we close things out by spinning the wheel and letting the conversation go wherever it lands.
