Welcome back to Shoptalkpodcast EP307!

The fellas are back for another week of foolishness. J and Dame kick things off by catching up on their weeks—Dame shares a wild run-in with a pitbull, stories about firing employees, food poisoning, and more.

The episode gets even better when they’re joined in the studio by the ladies of The Perfect Pair with Tangerine & Marti. The group dives into conversations around male birth control pills, J’s love for his dog Umar, dating non-negotiables, whether attraction changes as you get older, and takes time to get to know Tangerine and Marti beyond the mic. Great energy and really solid dialogue throughout.

Welcome back to Shoptalkpodcast Episode 300!

Man… ain’t it a blessing?!

We want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support shown over the past few weeks as we reached 300 episodes. This milestone wouldn’t be possible without you. In this episode, J and Dame take time to show appreciation to the listeners, play voice notes sent in by supporters, and share some of your intros. A few of you even teamed up to create something special for us, and it’s truly appreciated.

The fellas also catch up on their weeks, discuss Dame being “victimless crimed,” touch on Whoopi Goldberg, and get into the NFL’s ongoing issues with how Black coaches are treated. A fitting episode to mark a major milestone. Good episode per usual.

Welcome back to Shoptalkpodcast EP299!

J and Dame are back for another week of foolishness, joined in the studio by Dame’s best friend, @richgame313. The fellas catch up on their weeks, Dame delivers a Story Time with Dame, and Rich jumps in with stories of his own. Dame and Rich also reflect on some of the trouble they used to get into back in the day.

The conversation takes an interesting turn when they break down a clip from the 1981 film My Dinner with Andre and compare its themes to what’s happening now, 41 years later. Are we designing our own prisons? A really strong, thought-provoking discussion unfolds—along with plenty of other gems. Good episode per usual.

Surprise, MF!

After last week’s episode with Nick Varcity, the fellas kept kicking it once the mics were supposed to be off—and then decided to turn them right back on. No agenda, no structure, just unfiltered shoptalk.

This is some bonus, free content because we love you. Tap in and enjoy the vibes.
