Annoyed Not Offended

Only into the 2nd week of 2021 and it’s already proving to be messy. Syd is joined by her close friend, Ashlynn to gush about the latest Netflix hit series by Shonda Rhimes, Bridgerton. Coined as the “19th Century Gossip Girl” the plot gives us scandal, elitism, sex and wittiness, also known as everything you want in television. While we can’t get enough of The Duke raking throughout London, we discuss more of our recent streaming choices including Slyvie’s Love, Premature and The High Note. Then we take a sharp turn to discuss why Keri Hilson continues to trend for all the wrong reasons.

Arriving into 2021 with a solo episode this week! Thankful the holiday season is officially over, Syd provides a recap of her uneventful break. But not one to be stuck in the past, she has a few plans in store for 2021 based on her own reflections of the year. Indentifying relationship patterns with partners can play a huge role in being more intentional. What better way to break into the year than breaking a few behavioral patterns? Also, this week’s ‘You Are Drove’ sections sounds exactly like a scene straight from the FX hit series, “Pose.”

Tis' the season before we take a quick holiday break! This week’s hilarious episode features Ash Lemonade of the Sweetened Podcast. If you guys haven’t checked it out, I was previously a guest on her show for the hilarious episode “WDN?”. Ironically, I have Ashley back with me to discuss the same topic in a PT 2 rendition. Yes, we’re back with a “Why Do Niggas?” PT 2. LMAO During our last discussion, we chatted about Black people’s love of German chocolate cake, covering furniture in plastic, aluminum foil and so much more. So sit back and have a chuckle, as we devour a few aspects of Black culture only an insider can understand.

We’re back, giving the people what they want! This week’s episode features more feminine energy than last week, as Syd is joined by the ladies of the Are We Grown Yet? Podcast. Val and Hasmeen share their perspectives on how we evolve with age. Psychologists describe the phenomenon of making better decisions and developing more positive relationships as a person ages as ‘the maturity principle.’ While we do agree that we’ve seen ourselves blossom over time, there is also no need to downplay how far you’ve come when you don’t measure up to what others have accomplished. Also, is it possible that society forces us to mature faster than necessary?

If you’re in need of advice for navigating the world of adulthood, tune in to the ladies’ podcast Are We Grow Yet? Don’t forget to give them a follow at @AreWeGrownYetPodcast_ and @AreWeGrownYetPodcast

Well looky here, there are guests this week! This week’s episode features the hilarious guys of Tha Souf Got Sumethin 2 Say podcast. They join Syd to chat about dealing with stubborn ass friends, who often hear what you say but never take it into consideration. Especially considering that a majority of hardheaded people are sensitive and usually end in the same repetitive patterns. Kountry and DJ Big Dream offer plenty on the subject by being headstrong themselves, while Eterniti and Syd agree that they’re more neutral parties. True Kitchen Kocktails make today’s episode, as we’re seriously disappointed in the “no throwing ass” policy.

Did you miss the show last week? Syd’s back to business this episode, using her perceptive nature to hone in on the past and future. We can all agree that the entire world was set ablaze for 2020. Yet, amidst all the commotion and chaos there might just be a light at the end of the tunnel. Come gather round, as Syd aims to create a list of personal and professional resolutions for 2021. Because as all great planners say, ‘time waits for no man.’ Also, why do our favorite light skin aunties LisaRaye McCoy and Halle Berry have beef?

After the last couple of tough weeks, we’re back with an episode to discuss a topic just as tough. Syd’s joined this week by her first professional guest and host of The T-Side podcast, Tawnya. Everyone has dealt with plenty of anxiety this year and quite frankly we can’t take it anymore. But like any typical emotion, we must learn ways to navigate and cope. Both ladies share tips and recommendations they’ve learned over the years including the 5-Senses technique and apps. If anything, we’re taking it one day at a time.

Last week was truly never-ending and draining as hell but we’re back and better. Syd is joined by her close friend, Christina to tackle fessing up and taking a long hard look in the mirror. We’ve been taught all our lives that honesty is the best policy, yet we bypass it to save ourselves from the potential pain or repercussions. But once you’re honest with yourself you soon realize self-sabotage is not the answer! Again, as 20-somethings it’s a lot we have to learn about straightforwardness.

So, so, excited to share this week’s episode with another St. Louis-based podcast! Syd had the pleasure of recording with the guys of the Polite Coolery podcast about outgrowing your environment. The world is a big place yet we can feel tiny when stuck in situations, friendships or cities that aren’t serving us. We all agree that taking the next step into the unknown from your current life can be difficult, but if that’s really what you want can it hinder you? We also slide in a pretty funny drove af segment regarding Young Dolph.

Looks like it’s a solo situation this week! Syd gets a bit deep and personal, but it’s well worth the wait. Paying homage to the lovely Keyshia Cole, we’re determining when is it time to let it go or let them have it? There can be a multitude of reasons why someone decides to be silent in moments when they feel uncomfortable, let down, or just fed the hell up. But when and what can force us to speak up? The scammers are still swiping but they’re still dumb enough to get caught.
