The Daily Plug with Cy & TJ

Turns out what we think is common sense ain't really all that common. On this episode, Cy & TJ discuss the misinformation and downright ignorance running amok in the age of instant gratification. Why, oh why, do people make things so difficult?!

Cy & TJ are back with the fist episode of the decade, the year, and Season 3! And it looks like they're off and running quickly in 2020! Some of the stories they had to catch us up on from December of last year to now ...? You'd never guess it was the 21st century with the way some people are already behaving *smh*

The Daily Plug wants to send love and condolences to the families of the horrific helicopter tragedy that claimed the lives of Kobe and Gianna "Gigi" Bryant. We here at TDP implore you all to live each day like it's the best and the last. Time is fleeing and fickle. Spend the time you have being happy, doing well and doing good for everyone around you!

And here we are! Every episode of the year has led to this. Cy & TJ reveal five of their favorite artists from the 2010s. Trust when we say, it was a battle trying to choose only five artists (and more than double that in Honorable Mentions). From the way this conversation ended, these lists aren't even half of the artists they admire from the decade! But somehow they made it. And you were along for the journey.

We also revisit a couple moments in "We Did Not Suffer" history! Enjoy the episode. We'll see you next year!

That's right! The episode we've all been waiting for. This week Cy & TJ explore their favorite albums and singles from both K-pop and all across the board in 2019. And what a year it's been! What are some of your favorites from this year?

And we're back again this week. Cy & TJ go in full-on fan mode and dig into Season 3 of Netflix original The Dragon Prince. Strap in. Grab your snacks. Because this is a hefty episode, packed with betrayals, grasps for power ... and magical fingers ...

On this episode of The Daily Plug, Cy & TJ begin a discussion about the Netflix original series "The Dragon Prince." Let's just say, there's a whole lotta spazzing going on this time around! It got so good, they had to split the episode into two parts!

Sometimes people just should keep their mouths shut. Particularly when it comes for speaking about, for and over a community that isn't yours. This episode Cy & TJ delve into some unfortunate mess from, where else, the world of Hallyu. They also take a look at these Grammy shenanigans!

This week, TJ decides to see how far he can take Cy to the edge of her sanity. Some of these stories simply must be heard to be believed!

Cy and TJ both want to emphasize the importance of knowing your surroundings. With the surge in cases of human trafficking recently, our hosts encourage everyone to take care of themselves and take care of each other. To report suspicions of human trafficking call the National Human Trafficking Hotline toll free at 1-888-373-7888 (or text the hotline at 233733). You can also visit their website to learn more about the signs of trafficking and what you can do to help stop it!

It's been a particularly rough five or six weeks for fans of the Hallyu Wave. f(x) disbanding, the passing of former member Sulli, Monsta X's Wonho leaving the group (no matter how temporarily or permanently). It seems 2019 is trying to compete with 2017 as the worst year in Hallyu. But it all boils down to one thing: fan entitlement in the era of "social media." A serious consequence of which is cyberbullying. 

With the push from South Korea's government to crack down on malicious comments, one has to wonder, is it too little too late? After all, bullying is just a symptom. The root of the problem is much deeper.

Join Cy, TJ, and special guest, Matthew as they discuss the consequences of fan entitlement, cyberbullying and the pain of living with mental illness.

On a more serious note, the co-hosts implore you to spare a thought and some time for the Amazon rainforest. It's been burning for a month now, and there's been very little major media coverage about. Organizations like Green Peace, the Rainforest Action Network, and Amazon Watch are actively trying to keep corrupt parties in the Brazilian government from actively destroying one of Mother Nature's most important natural resources. So please, do what you can. Thank you.
