The fellas return for another week of conversation and the usual dose of foolishness. They kick things off by catching up on their week, recapping how Juneteenth went, and J explains how he got finessed into shooting a wedding. There’s also a breakdown of the latest Apple Event and all the updates that came with it.

The episode digs into a recent apology from a local writer who finally admitted to past wrongdoing—and the fallout that followed. J and Dame also get into the thin line between older men being attracted to young-looking women, plus a deeper discussion on colorism, racism, politics, and plenty more. Good conversation as always.

Welcome back to #ShoptalkPodcast EP214!

J and Dame return for another week of conversation and controlled foolishness, and this time they’re joined by @musuemofJUNE. The fellas break down the recent police shooting in Atlanta, J. Cole’s new track, the backlash surrounding it, and how Twitter always seems to twist every debate into Black men vs. Black women.

They also spend time getting to know JUNE—his early artistic influences, how he developed his craft, the evolution of his career, and the creative mindset behind his work. It’s a thoughtful, engaging conversation from start to finish. Enjoy.

Welcome back to #ShoptalkPodcast EP212!

This week, J and Dame are joined in the studio by friend of the show @_MarcusSumrall, aka Curv Gotti. The fellas cover a wide range of topics and unpack everything that’s unfolded over the last two weeks. The conversation moves from mental health and coping, to social distancing, to national conversations about policing, accountability, and community.

They speak on the passing of Jas Fly, the importance of release, whether talking to friends helps, and how isolation has taken its toll. The Chapelle 8:46 special gets deep discussion—Dave walking us through history in real time—along with a look back at Chris Dorner and the “defund the police” movement: what it actually means and what it doesn’t.

They also dive into the growing push for Juneteenth as a national holiday and the cultural responsibility to uplift it regardless of federal recognition. The episode closes with a breakdown of the sexual assault allegations circulating online, how the conversation started, the initial fallout, and where things stand a week later.

This week, the fellas get straight into the conversation—no warm-up, no small talk. They dive into police violence against Black people, the recurring pattern of white women weaponizing themselves, and the killing of George Floyd. The discussion expands into the difference between a riot and a revolt, whether “good cops” exist within a broken system, and the idea of an all-Black police force. They also touch on the MJ tapes to round out a powerful, honest episode.
