The ladies break down the four-part series, unpack the allegations, explore the fallout, and ask the big question: is this accountability… or a high-budget revenge project? They’ll walk you through the doc’s most shocking moments, the legal issues, the cultural commentary, and the origin of the beef between Diddy and 50.

  • Moni and Kat review “Black is the New White" by Paul Mooney

    Moni and Kat review “Black is the New White" by Paul Mooney
    Nov 13 2025
    🎤In this week's episode, the ladies review Paul Mooney’s book, "Black Is the New White", a memoir that’s equal parts comedy, truth, and cultural education. Mooney, known for his sharp tongue and unflinching honesty, embodies what our hosts like to call “pimp energy”, not in the literal sense, but in the way he was an impenetrable force who made his own rules and refused to let the world take advantage of him.The ladies love Mooney’s authentic voice, his raw comedic genius, and his refusal to dilute his truth for anyone. They explore his behind-the-scenes stories and deep freidnship with Richard Pryor, his work with Dave Chappelle, and Hollywood’s complicated relationship with Black talent. Expect laughs, insight, and plenty of bold commentary as they unpack how "Black Is the New White" still challenges audiences to think critically about race, art, and authenticity in America’s entertainment landscape.

  • Witch Way to Redemption: Moni and Kat do a Cosplay

    Witch Way to Redemption: Moni and Kat do a Cosplay
    Oct 29 2025
    In this spontaneous pre-Halloween freestyle episode, the hosts begin with a light catch up session before getting into their full cosplay costumes (Kat as Storm from the Marvel comic books, and Moni as Dionne Davenport from Clueless). They share memories of Halloween traditions growing up, their favorite Halloween memories, and how those childhood rituals shape how we feel about the holiday as adults. The conversation pivots to Kanye West’s “betrayal list,” which they use as a springboard to improvise their own betrayal list. This leads to a deeper discussion about what redemption really looks like after betrayal. The hosts playfully imagine creating a “redemption ritual” as a communal practice: whose job is it to decide what it takes to truly be redeemed after betraying your community? Tap in and hear what the ladies had to say. Cheers!*Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.
