Bigger Than The Stage

We have local STL comedian Scott James in the building for our 6-month radioversary! We talk about how influential Scott has been to our personal careers, balancing life and comedy as a job, and AI (and Shante blames Little Caesar's for it somehow). Also! Live a life worth writing about.

It's 9/11 and we're never forgetting Shante's uphill battle with lactose. She's three days dairy free. We talk about sugar daddies on this good episode along with dating blind men. But! We do bring it back to the stage and speak on how good it is to have a community and surrounding yourself with people that want to do well and want to see you do well also. And Taji has a cough attack and Shante holds it down.

P.S. GP stands for general principle. We know that now.

Well-known podcast Da Lions Club came in the building on this good Thursday. DLC and Gabby the Doll spent time and chile, we had a time!!! We laughed about coupons, talked about Jerry Spinger crash outs, and spraying Raid on the kids. On an unrelated note, shout out to DLC's mom!

Catch Da Lions Club every Wednesday live at 6 CST on https://mycitymymusic.com/da-lions-club.

Shante had dairy again this week, y'all. And we hear all about it. One of Taji's coworkers threw away her lunch. And we hear all about it. Tonerio is filming his special on August 29th. And we ask him all about it. It's a great and insightful episode. He turned his pain into triumph.

St. Louis native Brandon "Hotsauce" came onto the pod this week, and it was a real treat. We talked about looking for other people's validation (and how it's not needed!), what we learn about ourselves in relationships, and we bragged about our Black dads. "We always created our own way."

We in the studio with Mary Jayne and we not talking bout the stuff you smoke. We wanted her on since the conception of the radio show, and we were able to make it happen. Mary Jayne drops sooooooooooo many gems. Taji had to write it all down. We talk about the differences in comedy scenes between LA and St. Louis, rewriting the plan, and our kids (Mary and Shante's) needing us to be better.

We got comedians Brandon Taylor and Larry Greene in the building! We talked about favorite cereals (dropped a coupla curse words, sorry Father) with chocolate milk and nerded(?) out about comedy. Larry puts on a Valentine's Day show every year (But Baby I Love You) and Brandon has been holding it down in Chicago. This was a hilarious episode and HR will definitely email us after.

There's a market for Shante to rap, right? Y'all going to the album drop party? Shante is gonna get her Beat District Radio tattoo for some reason. Taji judges her for it. Surround yourself with good people. When you hold onto grudges, you do yourself a disservice. That's why your poop stink!

This is the healthiest relationship Shante has had. LMFAOOOO! We truly clowned on this episode. Taji need to take some deep breaths and chew some bubblegum. We talk extensively about some streaming services and Beyond the Gates.

Friend of the pod IAmKeysh is in the booth this episode! She has so many roles and we touch on them all (pause). There is room in your life for you to do it all! Keysh is living proof of it. Bet on yourself. Stop acting like those dreams can't be accomplished.
