The courtroom chaos continues! In Part 2 of our Them People legal special, the stakes are even higher as we take on a new roster of villains whose crimes against humanity (and the universe) are truly horrific. Your hosts are back in the hot seat, attempting to defend the intergalactic tyrant Frieza, the mysterious and all-powerful Imu, and the morally bankrupt mastermind Griffith. Can our lawyers pull off a miracle and find a shred of decency in these guys? Or are some villains just beyond saving? The final verdict is in, and it's going to be a wild one.

Get ready for some truly unhinged legal arguments! In this two-part Them People special, your favorite hosts are trading in their mics for gavels and stepping into the courtroom. We're playing defense attorneys for some of the most notorious anime and cartoon villains out there – from the homunculi-creating maniac Father from Fullmetal Alchemist to Gotham's clown prince of crime, The Joker. Can we find a loophole for these irredeemable baddies? Or will our "clients" drag us down with them? Tune in for Part 1 as we try to spin gold out of pure evil.

Remember the "American Dream" with the white picket fence and 2.5 kids? Yeah, us too... kinda. This week, we're dusting off those old notions and comparing them to the reality of today's hustle – where your side gig might just be your main gig. Join the chaos as we hilariously unpack how our views on the "American Dream" have been hilariously warped by time, student loans, and the sheer audacity of trying to afford avocado toast. We'll share our past illusions, our present struggles, and maybe, just maybe, stumble upon the secret sauce (spoiler alert: it probably involves more than just hard work).

Ever wonder how some folks can convince you the sky is green and you're the one with the crazy eyes? We're diving headfirst into the chaotic art of gaslighting. From the subtle 'Did that really happen?' to the full-blown 'You imagined that whole relationship,' we're breaking down the tactics, the absurdity, and the sheer audacity of rewriting someone's reality. Join us as we explore the pop culture gaslighting hall of fame, share our own (fictional, of course) gaslighting master plans, and debate whether pineapple on pizza is a conspiracy. Buckle up, because this episode is about to make you question everything...or maybe you're just imagining it.

Ever feel like your family's history is repeating itself? On this week's Them People, we're diving into generational curses: those patterns, habits, and maybe even a little bad luck, passed down through the ages. We'll share the curses we've broken (or are desperately trying to), and the ones that still haunt us. Join us for a candid and maybe even cathartic conversation about family, fate, and finally getting to choose your own path

This week on Them People, we're gettin' into somethin' real: the double-edged sword of bein' a free spirit and, sometimes, too smart. We're talkin' the highs of livin' your truth, wild and untamed, but also the lows of how that impacts us, especially in the Black community. Are we doin' too much on social media? Is our "extra-ness" actually holdin' us back? And are we accidentally alienating folks in our own communities just because we see things different? We're unpackin' it all – the good, the bad, and the complicated – on this week's episode.

In this episode, we'll be dissecting the pros and cons of both mediums, exploring the unique strengths and weaknesses of each, and ultimately trying to determine which one reigns supreme. So grab your popcorn, because this is going to be a wild ride!

Buckle up, buttercup, because the robots are coming... for our brains! 🤖 This week on Them People, we're diving headfirst into the wild world of AI and how it's turning our schools and everyday lives upside down. 🤯

Forget dodgeball, the real battle is against sentient toasters taking over the classroom! We're tackling the big questions: Will AI write our essays forever? 🤔 Will robots steal our jobs (and then offer to write our resumes)? 😨 And can AI finally explain why we had to learn algebra in the first place? 🤷‍♀️

Join us as we explore the AI revolution, from the fear-mongering to the funny fails, and confess our own guilty pleasures when it comes to using AI for, ahem, "research" purposes. 😉 (Don't tell our teachers!)
