Badass. PhD Student. TikTok Star...@leahmelle does it all. For this episode she joins the guys in the booth to discuss her motivation behind her "aggressive wholesomeness", some of the shortcomings to using TikTok as a platform for social change, and why bigotry is not an opinion.

This episode covers that and much more...but that's neither here nor there. Be sure to check out Leah's amazing content:

Season 2 Episode 9 

The first reported case of the Coronavirus was over a year ago - the guys discuss what life may look like when things get back to normal (whenever that is).  Socially distanced strip clubs, vaccine shots being provided with every pair of Jordans, and virtual casinos are just a few of the things the guys discuss today. 

Malik & Jamal recognizes how detrimental and impactful this virus has been to so many people worldwide. Over a million individuals have lost their lives to this disease, and in no way do they take that lightly. This episode was made to provide a little bit of laughter in light of a shitty situation (with currently no foreseeable end).

Season 2 Episode 8 (Part 2) of Malik & Jamal

After a few episodes on serious discussions, the guys are giving you a couple episodes filled with laughs to get you through the next couple of weeks. To keep up with the Season 1 tradition of making  1 episode a season a two-parter, hear part 2 of this stream of consciousness that gets into the toxic (yet sometimes hilarious) relationship dynamics in the music industry. Two straight men discussing heterosexual relationships and gender norms...what could go wrong?

And as always, nothing's off limits.

The guys FINALLY discuss religion in black america.

This is the first discussion of many, and they plan on bringing in some experts in the space for the next conversation about religion.
