  • S01E06: Trey Johnson
    This week on Day Ones, we talk with former Colorado Springs police officer Trey Johnson (3:38) about when he decided to pursue law enforcement (4:03), if his desire to be a cop was affected by being Black (5:02), and if his view of cops was changed before vs after his experience (6:17).

  • Captain Save a Rose: A Bachelor Podcast-Episode 8: “Black Roses”
    On what is maybe one of the few(or only) Black History Month inspired pieces of Bachelor content, Storyteller Tone joins Justin to celebrate Blackness by honoring the dope, strong Black women from this season. We run through our favorite highlights from them, extend copious amounts of love and good vibes, and recognize these contestants by raising their dresses to the rafters.
    Recap episode coming later this week!
    FYI: “Retiring a jersey is an honor a team bestows upon a player, usually after the player has left the team.” IYKYK.

  • Captain Save a Rose: A Bachelor Podcast-Episode 7: “Challenge Accepted”
    Whoever thought it was a good idea to take us along to Hometowns needs a raise. On this episode of Captain Save a Rose, Storyteller Tone returns for a very important recap episode.
    We meet four wholesome ass families, and along the way end up stumbling upon Peter’s dark secret.
    Will Peter just do everything people ask him not to do?
    What happens if the crab rangoon was not delicious? And where were the cookies we were promised?!
    Did Bruce Pearl send Madison’s father the game footage?
    Will Charles Barkley, Ernie, Shaq, and Kenny come for Peter?
    Probably not, Madison’s father seems to have it under control.
    To close, we discuss the Victoria F. fiasco and try to flesh out the complete story of what Peter was told, wonder who Hunter Hayes is, and share who we would be excited to see perform on a Bachelor date.
    More when you tap in, best if you tap in.

  • Captain Save a Rose: A Bachelor Podcast- Episode 6: "Cry For Me"
    A mega episode. Been away for a bit but resurrected in full effect. All three episodes we missed are recapped here! In Pedals and Thorns, we review Tyler C’s acting debut and the remnants of another podcast’s obsession with him.
    We start the recap way back in Cleveland with Peter continuing to be indecisive with Alayah and getting rid of basically all of the Black contestants. We head to Costa Rica and analyze the symbolism of Peter’s golf cart accident, whether or not Sydney is mysterious, and what the hell happened with Kelsey and Tammy.
    Then we get to the controversial Cosmo photo shoot and the consequences for Victoria F, Natasha shuts it down, and try to figure out the reason for ABC not airing important conversations for viewers.
    In Santiago, Chile, we all witnessed the whitest moment in Bachelor history. Mykenna takes a stand, but has surprising competition for the “strongest stand” title.
    Peter has a bizarre need for tears and an even weirder relationship with Victoria F. I give a wild ass hot take for Bachelorette, and we lose two more contestants.
    Finally, in Lima, Peru, will Madison’s faith play a role in later episodes? The last one standing- Natasha says goodbye. Kelsey and Peter run up a hill, a confusing ass three on one, and we wonder why does Peter hate fun so much?
    We close by making predictions for Hometowns, and agree that we have no idea what Peter wants.

  • B-Sides: Session 3- If Black Love Could Talk
    This week on the Day Ones Podcast, we kick off by giving  love to Barry Jenkins’ latest masterpiece, If Beale Street Could Talk. We share our thoughts on the film artistically and thematically, which leads to a discussion on the endurance of black people searching for love. We end up diving into our own personal experiences as black men navigating through relationships, and our own obstacles we've had to sort through to become healthy humans.
    We analyze our views of love growing up versus how that compared to reality(10:00). Then, DJ and Hanee of the Both Sides Podcast join us to share stories of their journey together and they let us pick their brains on the joy of black love(19:25).  Next, Storyteller Tone and Justin discuss breakups, how racism infiltrates relationships(39:30), what our healing processes have been like after a break up(58:20) and give our picks for our "Sad Nigga Playlist" (1:07:20). To close, we review the different types of apps (as only we can) so you don't have to, exchange random dating stories, and what finding a healthy relationship looks like(1:24:20). 
    All this, and somehow we talk fetishizing, cuckolding(insert wide-eyed emoji), the fine line of being "comfortable" in a relationship, identity, holding unnecessary burden, why Justin isn't making anymore "toxic" love songs, and much much more. This might be one of our most personal episodes yet, so we hope you can enjoy and gain a new perspective. Feel free to hit us up and share your own perspectives, as well as to challenge us!
