019 Big People Tings: Corporal Punishment - Mi Gi Yuh Notn Fi Cry Fah?

But should it?

We have an open and honest conversation about the subject, including some of our worst beating stories.

018 Big People Tings: The Apocalypse - This Is The End. Hold Your Breath And Count To Ten

It’s the end of the world as we know it. Or is it? We’ve heard the proclamations before and yet we’re still here. We discuss people’s ideas of the end of the world, why they’re so obsessed with it, and how we think the world is REALLY going to end.

017 Big People Tings: Racial Identity - You Never Was Da One

Some people feel like it doesn’t matter where you come from, what you look like, or who your people are, you can move in and out of whatever ethnic identity you want without a care in the world.

We respectfully disagree.

We get into the topic of racial identity, and why it’s not as transitive as people think.

016 Big People Tings: Rejection (Dating Part II) - You Never Was Da One

Getting a date is one thing, but losing a love is a whole other story. Plenty of people don’t know how to deal with heartbreak, and cyah tek rejection. We talk about the ins and outs of a broken heart.

013 Big People Tings: Adult Friendships: Nuh Bodda Beg Nuh Fren

Growing up is hard. When you’re young, making friends can be as easy as saying “Hi my name is”. When you’re older, it gets a little harder. We sat down and decided to talk about why that is, and some of our own stories with navigating adult friendship.

012 Big People Tings: Di Artist Dutty But Di Song Did Sweet

What do you do when an artist you like does something you disagree with?

Do you shun them? Cancel them?

Then what happens when you hear the song again and you can’t help but sing along?

We asked ourselves these questions and made an episode about it.

011 Sugar Daddies & Sugar Mommas (BPT LIVE)

Transactional relationships aren’t a new thing, but one can argue they’re more complicated than ever. It can be hard to tell what’s happening between the lines. So we thought we should talk about it in detail and darkness.

This episode was recorded live and features an interactive audience. It was something of a chaotic recording so the audio is not as clean as it typically is, but it’s just as entertaining.

Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night
