The Notion Podcast – Episode 5170 delivers an unfiltered look at some of today’s most talked-about cultural conversations. We start by breaking down the concept of “pick me” culture—where it stems from, how it’s shaped by gender dynamics, and why it continues to spark division, especially among women. This leads us into the backlash surrounding Phylicia Rashad, as some women criticize her for comments they feel are outdated or dismissive of modern femininity. But is the critique fair, or is there wisdom in what she’s saying?

We then examine a deeper social question: Are certain Black and Brown communities in America being socially conditioned to glorify dysfunction? We unpack what it means to be “raised ghetto,” and the systems—both internal and external—that contribute to this mindset.

Next, we dissect Donald Trump’s latest outrageous statement claiming that undocumented immigrants should be allowed to finish their work in farms and hotels, and then be sent back to apply for citizenship the “right way.” What does this say about the value placed on immigrant labor, and how does it align with America’s long-standing issues with immigration hypocrisy?

The episode also covers Netflix’s latest reality dating experiment—a show where contestants pop balloons as part of a love-finding process. While intended to be playful, it’s being roasted online for being ridiculous, tone-deaf, and, according to some, racially insensitive. We explore the backlash and ask: is the criticism rooted in the format, or something deeper?

Finally, we close with the ongoing public discourse around Lauren London. After stating she’s not interested in dating post-Nipsey Hussle, some fans have criticized her, suggesting that she’s holding onto a fantasy of love. Others question why they were never married if their bond was so deep. We discuss the layers of grief, loyalty, and public entitlement when it comes to how we view celebrity relationships.

In this powerful episode of Boss Talk, Dizzy and Jelani return to break down the headlines they won’t give you the full truth about.

TOPICS COVERED: 1. TikTok in Danger Again? With Trump extending the ban deadline for a second time, the future of TikTok in the U.S. is on shaky ground. We break down the legal, political, and global implications. 

2. Gen Z is Struggling in the Workplace Gen Z graduates are being fired just months into their first jobs. Employers blame work ethic—Gen Z blames poor leadership and outdated corporate culture. We break down both sides. Bosses are firing Gen Z grads just months after hiring them.

3. Why Are Black Men Skipping College? HBCUs are reporting their lowest Black male enrollment in 50 years. Are we witnessing a shift in values—or is it a response to deeper systemic issues? IHBCUs report lowest Black male enrollment in 50 years .

4. The Truth Behind Monopoly That classic board game has a dark history. From its origins as a warning against capitalism to its layout reflecting real-life segregation, Monopoly is deeper than most realize. We break down: • How the cheapest properties represent real Black and immigrant neighborhoods • How the game mirrors redlining and racial capitalism • Why it was originally meant to criticize the system—not glorify it
