We are going to keep it simple. Here's a dose of what you can expect from this episode:

- Black Magic: John Boyega
- Pride Month Highlight: Nicholas Ashe and Justice Smith. They're so cute together
- Insecure follow-up (through episode 8)
- What would you do? (you know we keep the scenarios coming)
- Backpedaling. How do you know when the apology is actually genuine?

We get into all kinds of good stuff. Plus, we take a moment to reflect on funny moments that we have had with our best friends.

This has been one of the most emotional weeks in a long time so we aren't going to fill this description up with a lot. Tune in. Be strong. Keep your head up high.

Check on your black friends. We are not okay.

We know it is just May, but we want to remind you to be sure you have registered to vote. You've heard us talking about voting, the local elections, and things like that before, but this week, we actually have Austin Davis, Democratic State Representative from District 35 in Pennsylvania. He came through and dropped all kinds of good gems all while engaging in Black Magic (where we highlight Class of 2020), our regular relationship antics in Rude Talk, and additional details related to Ahmaud Arbery and his murder.

Also, if you haven't registered to vote, it is never too late (or early for that matter). Check out https://usa.gov/register-to-vote.

See y'all next week, bawheads.

Okay Bawheads. You all should thank us because we always want to talk about Insecure sooooo bad, but we try to postpone discussions so that we don't spoil it for y'all. Although we have our regular Black Magic and Living While Black segments, the meat and potatoes is in Rude Talk where we discuss the block party from Insecure and...How. It. Went. Down. Urban Laughter is Team Issa. JB doesn't like how either person handled things, but he makes a point to bring to light issues with Issa that he feels people are ignoring and pretending haven't happened.

Ooo, it gets good, but we want your opinions too! Join us in the conversation on social media.

Hotep vibes...come hither. Erykahhh and Ms. Jill Scott are hereee to realign all of our energies. Just when everything feels wonderful again....THE RONA. And here we are. A new week, new podcast shenanigans, and some wonderful banter. This week, we shout out all of our momma's favorite singer Betty Wright, music mogul Andre Harrell, and Rock N Roll legend Little Richard, as they all have passed away. In Rude Talk, we dive face first in dating do's and don't's, maintaining romantic relationships while grieving and what our exes would say about us. Lastly, Living While Black is fueled mainly by the murdering of Ahmaud Arbery. We had a lot to say about this one and we are sure you do as well. Be sure to leave comments on all of our social media.

Urban Laughter: That's right! Sis is killing it. And you know how Diddy is! Black Magiiiic! We also dive into the friendships on Insecure, the recipe of musicians that would make up our personalities, and then we talk all things Mercedes, the Movie Scene Queen.

Andddd CUT!

We wanna go outside, but Rona won't let us! But since you can't, might as well check out this episode. We have Vee from Rebranding Your IG With Vee (@rebrandyourIF) and she is dropping all kinds of branding and marketing gems! In Black Magic, we highly Diddy, Birdman and Beyonce for their efforts during Covid-19. States are trying to open early and you know we gotta talk about it in Living While Black. And for Rude Talk, we got a new What Would You Do? You're gonna love it, bawheads

Sometimes you have to sit back and remind yourself WHO THE EFF YOU ARE! This week, our guest is Andrecia of Vain by Andrecia, makeup extraordinaire and entrepreneur. She is all about body positivity and finding the beauty in yourself...so you can love every bit of it! In Black Magic, we highlight Kenya Barris and in Living While Black, we talk about the two white teens that made a TikTok of how to make a ni... well you get the idea.

In Rude Talk, we are talking Insecure, the TV series, and toxic friendships. Then, JB hits us with another scenario: Your significant other of 20 years confesses to a murder that they committed when they were a teenager. How do you handle it? Do you stay or do you go? Does having kids change things?

Oooo, bawheads, this was a good one!

Oh man. The conversation that we had during this episode was episode. There are some times where we feel like we generally agree on a lot of things, but this week was not the case and it made for some pretty juicy conversation. We will get to that in a minute, though. This week, our Black Magic moment goes to Floyd E. Norman, animation extraordinaire. In Living While Black, we talk about how Christian Keyes had to let a fan know that his celebrating the strength of black women does not negate the strength of anyone else. We also talk about Taraji P. Henson and how she has started an organization that provides free virtual therapy. Unfortunately, we waste some time talking about The Weeknd and his foolish comments about Usher, but hey...we are equal read opportunists.

Lastly, in Rude Talk...well...let's just say that it involves the death of a husband, the funeral, a mistress, 5 million dollars and two kids. B'Niqua from The Unpolished Podcast came through like a wreckingggg ballllll and said eff dem kids and the wife.

Let us know what you think. Rate and comment. We would love to hear your feedback.

Another week, another episode, and another guest! This week, we have total package entertainer, Lutfy. He sings. He acts. He can't twerk, though. He was also threatened by Urban Laughter multiple times to have his mic cut off. He was out of control and we loved it. The conversation was flowing as we talked about Black Magic (Jonathan Jackson, co-founder of Blavity), the over-reliance of people on celebrities as it relates to philanthropy, and how we can try to cope with anxiety as we deal with Ms. Cuh'Rona Thompson.

In Rude Talk, we play an extreme game of Would You Rather. Ooo, it was a good one.
