Welcome back to Shoptalkpodcast EP489! J and Dame are back for another week of foolishness. We start with Great American restaurant tours, Kona Grill happy-hour math, and a passionate wing/ nacho discourse (Captain J’s vs. the field). Then it’s real life: first-week-of-school nerves, junior-high giants, and the quiet art of co-parenting. Dame breaks down hand tattoos and navigating corporate spaces, while the fellas cook on WFH excuses, the post-pandemic laziness loop, and how “I deserve it” spending wrecks a budget.

From DoorDash regrets to cable bills, they unpack what it costs to live right now—plus why “silver spoon” talk is jealousy in disguise. The convo turns to art and age: should you quit rapping at 35? (No.) Creativity is a lifetime sport—Ava DuVernay didn’t pick up a camera until her late 30s. They touch on snitch culture vs. real-life civics, personal accountability, and making peace with the grind.

It’s jokes, gems, and Detroit perspective—489 straight weeks. Tap in.

Welcome back to Shoptalkpodcast episode 488! J and Dame are back for another week of amusing banter. They share their experiences from the past week, with J excitedly planning to win the Powerball. They also discuss child support, back-to-school preparations, and the ongoing saga at Target. As usual, it’s a great episode filled with entertaining discussions.

Welcome back to Shop Talk Podcast, episode 487: The Age of Ultron. J and Dame return for another week of pure foolishness.

This week, the fellas catch up on life, including Dame’s attempt to hit J with a cease-and-desist (yes, you read that right 🤦🏽‍♂️). From there, the conversation dives into Cardi B’s new record Imaginary Players, the rise of AI in ghostwriting and creativity, and what happens when robots finally take over the world.

It’s laughs, sharp takes, and a little bit of chaos—just the way you like it. Tap in.

Welcome back, Shop Talk Podcast, episode 486. Jay and Dame are back for another week of foolishness. This week, the guys chop it up about how Dame’s week was, the birthday of his middle son, and other happenings.

We focus on an “Ask the Shop” question we posted to Instagram — TK Kirkland gave an example about walking into a room and the woman you’re with speaking to all the guys. We read some of the answers from our followers, then Jay, Dame, and TK gave their takes.

There’s also a conversation about the term “YN” — who should use it, whether it’s harmful, and whether the harm lies in the term itself or in the actions of those considered a “YN.”

Two really good conversations this week. Hope you enjoy!

J and Dame are back for another week of classic Shop Talk foolishness, this time coming to you live from The Neighborhood Grocery with friend of the show, Rafael Wright.

This week, J and Dame catch up on life — including a major milestone as Dame celebrates his third child turning 18 (that’s three kids down and 2 left on child support — a true victory). J also shares updates on the documentary he’s been filming.

Then we shift gears into a real convo about what’s been going on with Rafael Wright, community building, and a heated disagreement over business practices… centered around a man selling watermelons. Yeah, you read that right.

We dive deep into the realities of entrepreneurship, the difference between impact vs. influence, and what it really takes to thrive in business and uplift your community. Insightful, honest, and a little wild — just how we like it.

Tap in. It’s a good one.

Welcome back to the ShoptalkPodcast, Episode 484! J and Dame are back for another week of foolishness, and this time, they’re taking their show on the road. As part of their Great American Restaurant Tour, they visit Chili’s. While they enjoy their meals and catch up, they also discuss the latest news, including Malcolm Jamal Warner’s passing and Hulk Hogan’s passing. They also touch upon the Detroit mayoral race and the age-old question of when it’s okay to forget and when it’s okay to hold a grudge. As always, it’s a great time, and they can’t wait to see where their tour takes them next.

This week, J. and Dame hit the road and take Shoptalkpodcast on location to a posh loft in the heart of Detroit. The fellas catch up with Baby Mark, who just dropped three new singles and had a lot to say about the creative process behind them. We chopped it up about our week—the highs, the lows, and the mindset it takes to stay positive. We also dove into how Detroit views celebrity, J. told a wild story about a “spy bird,” and of course, there was plenty more foolishness to go around.

As always, thanks for tapping in. Press play and enjoy the conversation.
