Reality Chop- They Shootin!- Gun violence is nothing new for black people. Whether is be mass shootings and violence in the hood, we talk about the relationship black folks have and should have with guns.

Conscious Chop- The Illusion of Inclusion and Minority Representation- with all of these diverse candidates assuming power in American politics, does that mean we can finally breathe easier, or is it time to be more invested than ever?

Political Chop- I Voted. Now What?- Most of the political buzz has died down and youve already lost your "I Voted" sticker. But clearly the work is not done. We discuss the way to think and what to be doing now that a new political reality has emerged in America.

Hosted by Toya @toyuhgee, Domo @thepoliticalplug, and George @theconsciouslee-

Political Chop- Bombgate 2018- This is NOT a drill! Trump has these conservative American's wilding. What should we think?

Entertainment Chop- No More XxxCuses- XxxTentacion is caught on tape admitting to striking fear in the girlfriend he abused by forcing her watch him stab 8 people. He is not alone, there are many other artists who show themselves to us. Why, do we as consumers of media, seem to support people more when they do terrible things?

Yes, New Friends- Lets admit it. Adulthood can get lonely and making adult friends is hard. We discuss how we do the "friend" thing and what works for us as working, people in committed relationships, looking for outside fun.
