B4Nine Podcast

Ashli and Mashaun tackle two rather important topics rarely discussed publicly -- self-control and sexual assault. Ashli shares her reasons for starting out 2020 fasting in order to strengthen her self-control. Mashaun shares his experiences of being sexually assaulted as a teen.

Ashli and Mashaun are back with season 2 of B4Nine Podcast! In this episode, they reflect on the journey to season 1 before launching into another round of nine questions — and the responses are HILARIOUS!!

Former Los Angeles Laker, Kobe Bryant, and his daughter Gigi were among those killed in a tragic helicopter accident Sunday, Jan. 26 in Calabasas, California. Ashli and Mashaun react to the news and offer their condolences to those mourning in this bonus episode.

In this next season, SEASON TWO, Ashli and Mashaun are back with a new batch of conversations from sex (again), to faith (again), to sexuality, identity, and even a little bit about politics. And there is a new game they want to introduce their listeners to…so check us out! Season 2 of B4Nine Podcast.

What's bringing you joy? Ashli and Mashaun talk about the importance of cultivating joy and the role creativity plays in their joy. They also talk a little about mindfulness, discomfort, and finding peace with the unknown. It is the final episode (possibly) of the first season of B4Nine Podcast.

Ashli and Mashaun delve into a commonly avoided conversation -- Jesus, God, and the Universe. Did Jesus really exist? Why do people say "the universe" instead of God, when they really mean God? Is the universe close or beyond? Then they discuss the role of corn flakes in self-gratification. Yes, a lot is happening in this episode.

Finally, the listeners get to know THE REAL Ashli at the beginning of the episode. Episode 10 is recorded live from the Phillip Rush Center in Atlanta and discusses the NFL player who recently disclosed his bisexual identity, the NFL, the importance of Black institutions, and the issues that bi-sexual identifying individuals face within the LGBTQIA community.

Piggybacking off of previous episodes and the "topics Black folk SHOULD be discussing," Mashaun decides to share his experiences with therapy in response to a few of Ashli's PROBING questions!

Historically, it has been called the “idiot box,” but they can’t help it! Ashli and Mashaun both watch a lot of TV. Interested in what they are watching? Find out what they are binging. The two also share their visions, dreams, hopes, and desires for B4Nine and why they are doing this show.

A post on IG by a woman who shares that she and her husband cannot be friends with single individuals of the opposite sex sets off a conversation about relationships and friendships. Mashaun also reflects on an article on the topic of love, compromise, and acceptance.
