Have you ever gone somewhere new and just felt totally out of place? Well, today we’re talking about culture shock with actress and comedian Yvonne Orji. Yvonne shares some of the hilarious moments she experienced when she moved from Nigeria to D.C. at the age of six, the surprising similarities between the two countries, and the ridiculous assumptions we can’t believe people still have about Africa. We also spill what shocked us most after moving from Chicago to California, and Yvonne puts us on to a surprising new soul artist. Plus, we respond to listener voicemails where we give it to you straight about how celebrity PR relationships really go down. Aren’t you curious??

While we’d like to think the end of the world is thousands of years away, it never hurts to be prepared, right? In this week’s episode, actress Amandla Stenberg joins us for a conversation that goes from hilarious to deep real fast.

We even force her to choose the five people she’d want by her side when the world ends. Also, Sharon surprises us all and goes down the rabbit hole of the conspiracy theory she believes might actually be real. We did not see this one coming!!

You know we looooove Twitter (it’s still Twitter to us…sorry, not sorry Elon!), and in today’s episode, we talk to the unofficial official “Dean of Black Twitter” Michael Harriot about race and social media.

Plus, Sharon spills the tea on why she thinks a certain celebrity couple may not work out…any guesses on who it could be??

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! So, why not spend it with Keke and Ludacris? 

On this week’s episode, we get into all things Christmas including the questionable thing Keke did as a kid during her church’s Christmas play and our favorite memories from the holiday season. As a veteran father in the game, Ludacris talks about the responsibility that comes with being a girl dad. He also reveals the bizarre way he and Keke first met and drops a hint at what he’s bringing to the table in 2024…we’re living for this! You won’t want to miss Keke’s impression of Luda’s iconic rap style or their Christmas song sing-along! If this doesn’t get you in the holiday spirit, we don’t know what will!
