The Certifiably Savage Podcast

What does it really take to chase a dream?

In our Season 1 finale, we’re talking about the part of entrepreneurship that doesn’t always make the highlight reel: the work, the sacrifices, the setbacks, the lessons, and the determination it takes to keep building something you believe in.

From entrepreneurship (and apparently “entrepreneurialship” 😂) to content creation, we get real about what we’re willing to do to reach our goals and how much work happens behind the scenes when you’re trying to turn an idea into something real.

And what better way to have that conversation than by looking at our own journey?

Twelve episodes ago, The Certifiably Savage Podcast was just getting started. Now we’re wrapping our first season with plenty of laughs, a few tears, some reflection on how far we’ve come, and a whole lot of gratitude for everyone who has joined us in the digital lounge along the way.

We also give some love to our unofficial online business mentor, Gary Vaynerchuk (GaryVee), whose perspective on entrepreneurship, patience, hard work, and building something from the ground up has given us plenty to think about during our own journey.

This episode is about dreams, sacrifice, persistence, growth, and what happens when you decide the thing you want is worth working for.

Thank you for laughing with us, debating with us, and hanging out with us through Season 1.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s just the end of our first chapter.

Stay Savage. 🐻🎙️

Online dating is supposed to help you find a connection… but sometimes it gives you a story you never asked for. 😂📱

In Episode 11, Chats, Nudes & My Charts, Natriece takes us inside her online dating experiment while we compare notes from our own experiences navigating dating, attraction, and relationships after 45.

Of course, there are dating-app disasters, questionable messages, unsolicited photos, and plenty of laughs. But somewhere between the chats, nudes, and red flags, the conversation gets deeper.

How much of the way we date as adults was shaped by what we experienced growing up? What happens when attraction meets emotional maturity? 

There are laughs. There are charts. There are definitely some red flags.

Welcome to Chats, Nudes & My Charts.

True crime is everywhere. Documentaries, podcasts, interrogation footage, courtroom shows, reenactments, and entire streaming categories dedicated to the darkest parts of human behavior. But when did learning about crime become entertainment?

In Episode 10, Kelly and Natriece head down the true-crime rabbit hole to talk about how the genre has evolved, from shows like Cops, America’s Most Wanted, Rescue 911, and Unsolved Mysteries to today’s endless catalog of documentaries and crime series.

We’re asking the uncomfortable questions: Does watching true crime make us more aware, or are we becoming desensitized? Where is the line between education and entertainment? And despite its darker side, can true-crime media actually teach us something useful?

Somehow, this conversation also leads to the television crossover nobody requested: Judge Judy and Gordon Ramsay dealing with criminals. Because apparently our brains cannot be trusted unsupervised. 😂

Come hang out with us in the digital lounge as we explore our fascination with true crime, the ethics behind the entertainment, and why millions of us just... can’t stop watching.

Stay Savage.

Music is never just music. 👀🎶

This week, Kelly and Natriece dive into the artists they love, the ones they’ve side-eyed, and the rivalries and controversies that have shaped some unforgettable moments in music and pop culture.

But the conversation goes beyond the playlist. They get into what it takes to chase a dream, the pressure to keep grinding when success doesn’t come easily, and some of the bigger issues that can influence who gets opportunities, recognition, and a seat at the table.

There are differing opinions. There are questionable celebrity choices. There are a few musical hills somebody may be prepared to die on. 😂 And yes... things get a little spicy. 🌶️

🎧 Episode 9: Music, Mess & the Grind
Available now wherever you listen to The Certifiably Savage Podcast.

What’s one artist you’ll defend forever... and one you had to remove from the playlist? 👀

Everybody has a celebrity crush… but would you actually date them? 👀

This week, Natriece and Kelly each came armed with a carefully curated list of 10 celebrities for the other to judge. The rules are simple: Deal or No Deal?

Some choices are immediate. Some require serious consideration. And some have us questioning each other's judgment entirely. 😂

No deep debates this week. No life lessons. Just celebrity crushes, questionable standards, unexpected answers, and a whole lot of laughing.

Play along with us: Who would make YOUR Deal list? And who is an immediate No Deal? 🎙️🐻

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and apparently… we’ve gotten attached enough to start naming ours. 😂

In this episode, we’re diving into the rapidly changing world of AI: how we actually use it in our everyday lives, why we named our AI assistants, Hugging Face, AI agents doing things researchers didn’t quite expect, the growing demand for massive data centers, and what happens when social media platforms start weaving even more AI into our digital lives.

We also get into the bigger conversation happening right now: Is AI moving too fast? Are the scary headlines justified, or are we skipping some very important context between “AI is getting powerful” and “WE’RE ALL DOOMED”? 🤖🔥

It’s curious, funny, occasionally unsettling, and very Certifiably Savage.

🎙️ So… We Named Our AI.

Listen in and tell us: Have you named your AI? And are you excited, nervous, or somewhere in between about where all of this is headed?

Food. We celebrate with it, comfort ourselves with it, bond over it, crave it, and sometimes have a relationship with it that’s… complicated. 🍔🍕🍩

In Episode 6, we’re digging into our relationship with food and asking some uncomfortable questions. Can food become an addiction? Why do certain foods seem almost impossible to resist? How much has fast food and highly processed food changed the way we eat? And what happens when medications like GLP-1s suddenly turn down the volume on cravings and “food noise”?

We’re talking emotional eating, comfort food, addiction and reward, fast food, GLP-1s, and our own experiences navigating a world where food is everywhere.

It’s funny, personal, a little savage, and probably best enjoyed with a snack. 😏

The dating debate isn’t over yet! 😂

We’re picking up right where Episode 4 left off and getting even deeper into the preferences, habits, and hard nos that can make attraction very, very personal.

This time, we’re talking body hair, dating preferences, and the little things that can turn a “maybe” into an immediate NOPE. Then we put each other on the spot with some rapid-fire questions because apparently having time to think before answering is overrated. 😏

And somewhere in the middle of all this, Tri makes one thing perfectly clear: she will NEVER be on a dating app.

Never.

Absolutely not.

Not happening.

👀 We’re just going to leave that statement right here for safekeeping...

From personal preferences to hard nos and everything in between, it’s another unfiltered trip inside the Digital Lounge where there’s no judgment, very few filters, and absolutely no telling where the conversation will go.

We get into dating profiles, expectations, deal breakers, knowing your worth, and why having standards matters. And because this is The Certifiably Savage Podcast, somehow the conversation takes a sharp left turn into… micro penises. 😂 Yes. We went there.

Whether you're beginning your own journey, supporting someone you love, or simply looking to better understand men's mental health, we hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to carry everything alone.

Thank you for welcoming us back into your lives. We've missed you, and we're excited to be back in The Digital Lounge with all of you.
