Hello podcast listeners!! Back with another very exciting episode of Poolside Chats. Today we welcome on a good friend of mine to discuss his BDSM lifestyle, a new cooking show that he is producing that his submissive will be staring in, family, growing up in LA and much much much more. Including being 14 years old the first time he robbed a bank!

Stagalee came through and blessed the set with a bottle of Glenfiddich for us to sip on while we discuss black entrepreneurship, family dynamics and even on how the 50 Shades films didn't quite connect with his particular style of BDSM. So sit back, pour up and listen in on one of the most interesting episodes we've had to date.

Make sure to be on the look out for the upcoming show "Cooking For Daddy" that will highlight Chef Kanae Houston and the BDSM dynamic that they share. Stay in touch with Stagalee on IG @MichaelStagaleeBrown and Chef Kanae @ChefKanaeHouston.

Hello podcast world. Today I come to you in a very melancholy mood. Last week, we lost one of my very dear friends. This girl truly meant the world to me. An absolutely amazing friend. And in typical nigga fashion, I did some foul shit that came between us. And quite some time had passed since we spoke. And now she's gone. So I wanted to take a moment to speak on pieces of the situation. Maybe through my pain, I can inspire someone out there to make amends with someone close to them before its too late.

This is by far the hardest episode I've had to do. Including a week ago when I honored my Pops. This was tough. So make sure you have some time to sit and really relate. Love you podcast fam.

Welcome back once again for another episode of Poolside Chats! It was a little chilly this day so we kept it indoors, but that didn't stop the amazingness of this episode! It was my pleasure to have my good friend and fellow Columbus native Kieona Taliaferro on do discuss so many great things. Kieona is new to LA and came out here to pursue a dream by going after a career in acting. We discussed her being forced to grow up early and care for her siblings, her having her a child, and putting dreams on hold in order to put family first.

But Kieona is out here now and she is doing her thang!!! She definitely hit the ground running as she's appeared on some of her favorite shows such as Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder, This Is Us, Speechless, Unsolved, Lucifer and so many more. So sit back with us, grab a red cup and pour up a little CB Honey and enjoy HERstory. Be sure to keep in touch with Kieona by filling her on IG: @KissyMJ, on Twitter: @2SassyKissy and on Facebook under her name Kieona Taliaferro.

Hello again podcast world! Back again with another bonus episode, but this week it's very different. A very emotional episode as I celebrate the life of my father. My Pops was born March 23, 1960 and we lost him to that bitch named cancer on November 3, 2014. My father would have been 58 today. And ever since losing Pops, every birthday, every Father's Day and every anniversary of his passing, I make sure to have a steak dinner, a shot and a movie with the old man. So this time I decided to take a moment to celebrate his life and talk about a couple of issues regarding this.

First and foremost, I wanted to highlight the importance of growing up with your father. There is nothing that can replace the love of a father growing up as a young man in the city. I am so thankful to have a father in an era and a time where it was unpopular to be a father and be in your child's life. Another subject that I wanted to touch on is dealing with the mental health aspects of losing a loved one. Often we lose someone close to us and just try to deal with it on our own and without any help. Not realizing that we could be a lot more affected than we know. So I talk about the importance of recognizing that you are not alright. And the fact that is alright to not be alright!!!

Welcome back to another sunny Cali day! And speaking of Cali, we have a California native on today to discuss some of the double standards that exist amongst men and women. Stef ponders on what makes a woman a "hoe" and why society has different rules for the ladies verses the fellas. And while we discuss double standards, I want to know why it's okay for women to express feelings but not okay for men??

Me and Stef have some great convo about double standards and also discuss a lot about mental health and the black community. The conversation leads in a number of different directions including her best friend having sex with her baby dad while she was pregnant, being emotionless and she takes some baby shots while wishing should could grab Terry Crews' man meat!!

Keep in contact with Stef by following her Snapchat "CaliGirlStef" where there may or may not be pasties on titties and ass shaking and also on Instagram @Stef_Cali. Make sure to keep up with her because she has a podcast that she will be launching in the coming weeks! So sit back, grab a red cup and sip with us as you listen!

Man I am SUPER excited to post today's episode!! Not only did I have the pleasure of recording with 5 of my truly closet friends, but these 5 men are truly inspirational. In a day and age where it's common for men to not be fathers, not be husbands, not be bread winners and hard workers... I get to sit down with 5 men who are all of the above. We are all childhood friends who grew up together, went to school together and all learned from one another. This session went on for almost 3 hours!! But with so much history amongst us we often shifted to topics that had nothing to do with marriage. At one point, sneakers took over the convo for about 30 minutes. So I decided to post just the first hour because that was the bulk of the gems!!

So sit back, sip on some Diddy Juice, sip on some Copper Top, sip some Jack, or pour up some Jose. Whatever you sipping on, soak up these jewels that these married men are dropping. Whether you are single or married, you can learn a lot from this episode!!! Whether you have children or don't, you can learn from this episode!!! Please subscribe and like!
