Triple B.S. is where current events meet random questions, and social commentary gets absolutely honest. Forget interview format. This isn't about guests. It's about your hosts breaking down the week's hottest topics, asking the questions nobody else will, and serving up takes that'll make you nod, laugh, or throw your phone across the room.

Featuring B Haywood (Producer), West Side Will (Social Media Comedian), Big B Fines from the Big and Lazy Podcast, and Stacey. The voices who actually say what they think. West Side Will brings the gender dynamics comedy that landed him on social media in the first place. The rest of the crew? They bring the unfiltered perspective on how men and women really interact, what's actually happening in the world, and why nobody's talking about it the right way.

Whether you're watching on YouTube, supporting on Patreon, or listening on your favorite audio streaming platform, Triple B.S. is the podcast for anyone aged 28 to 45 who's tired of boring hot takes and wants commentary that actually lands.

Yeah, B.S. stands for three names. And yes. It also stands for exactly what you think it does.

This week the crew goes DEEP. Starting with an unfiltered debate about why women broadcast their financial situation online, they quickly pivot to connecting dots most people are afraid to touch: What happens when the man building an empire lives next door to the pharmaceutical giant that profited from an opioid epidemic? And what does that have to do with government experiments on incarcerated Black men? This episode is a masterclass in thinking critically about proximity, power, and profit.
