The Culture Pod With No Name

In this episode, we talk about TI's NYC comedy flop and if we think he can bounce back.  Also, Cam Newton made headlines surrounding his thoughts on what a traditional relationship looks like.  TIMBERRR!!!

In contemporary relationships, communication has become paramount and essential for success. That being said, how much do you communicate about your past relationships?  We start with the question of "How much do you share with your current significant other about your past one?" and it opens up the flood gates of how we navigate conversations in our relationships.

Culture Question:  What is something you would never do again?

Songs of the week:

Chrissy | T-Pain - Happy Hour feat. Buddy

Donnie | The Roots - Break You Off

Rahz | Kanye West - My Way Home

Kam | Dr Dre - feat. Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Anderson .Paak

"What did the five fingers ... say to the face???"

Ah!  All jokes aside, we are definitely here to speak about this past week's hot topic; the smack heard around the world.  The spectacle that took place between Chris Rock and Will Smith has been in constant rotation on social media, the news and especially in barbershop talk.  We dice it up the way no one other than the culture pod could.

We also recover recent news: Hampton University has offered room and board along with free tuition to 100 students from Ukraine.  Also,  we talk about the WINS from this year's Oscars:  Will Packer producing, A trio of women hosts (of which 2 were Black), Quest Love aka Ahmir Thompson's win for Best Documentary efforts 𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘭 (...𝘖𝘳, 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘉𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥) and Beyonce's song debut from the King Richard soundtrack.

Greetings listeners!  Welcome back.

This week we have some interesting conversation (per usual).  We kick off with the culture question:  What movie would completely change with a Black lead?  We then hit some news topics and ultimately spin into our topic of Drill Music in NY.  We also talk about how important it is to create separate streams of income.  We try to be a fiscally responsible pod!
