  • 033 - Becoming Aware of Your Wife

    On this week's episode we are without April D, so I got some help from the guys. J. Boddie (@lawnaficionado) and Q (@militant_que) got on mic to give us a little bit of their wisdom while we recorded at The Luxe Lounge. We hit some pretty good topics: 

    - The attack and response to Kwame Brown slander and how far is too far to go

    - The effects on a male figure not being in the black household and if we are starting to see the effects of that

    - Judge Joe Brown and his comments on Lizzo. Where is the line between acceptable and appropriate?

    - Monogamy and Marriage....is it a natural concept?

    -  Would you rather?
