  • The Hookup Playbook and More Reasons You're Single - THRST083

    We had another 3-way...via phone!

    Jezula's back, again, and we introduce you to a new and wise friend, Arien. We discussed many things: from the death of Chadwick Boseman to the views of fornication in the Bible (and how they stack up for life in 2020); we breakdown the rules and tips to hooking up and dive deeper on reason's we're all still single and reasons many others are single when they don't want to be.

    The Butcher's Block is serving icicle dildos; talk about a chilling confession.

    If you have something you want to bring to our attention or want our opinionated truth about a situation; hit us up. You can curse us out or ask a question if you want to; just contact us:

  • Getting Through Covid-19

    We had a 3-way! For this episode, we actually had to talk to each other on the phone. Covid19 has the whole world upside and we're all doing things differently than normal.

    Jezula and Lola returned for some juicy topics; so much was shared and learned....from Bitchassness being an epidemic to being contributing to and profiting from the condom shortage.

    In this episode there's also quick serving of Tea & Cheesecake and a treat in The Butcher's Block that will blow your mind and make you gag.

  • 'Ships and Benefits - THRST081

    Is there a new trend that's about to make white people a hashtag?

    Prepare to have your breakfast ruined.

    Now, the good news: those first two sentences aren't related and after a year away, we return with a heart-to-heart episode like we've never done before! Brace yourself, ignite your patience, and prepare for an episode you weren't expecting, but that's filled with all of your favorites and a few surprises.

    One of the latest trends and breakthroughs is coming after lube and you may have to use it in an unexpected way to really get the benefits of it.

    Facebook's "It's Complicated" relationship status? It's misleading and messing with you. Why is cash suddenly digital and people are turning to once questionable ways to get it?

    We, also, touch on people putting far too much into the wrong type of relationships and wondering why they aren't getting any returns on what they've invested into the 'ship.

    In this episode there's also quick serving of Tea & Cheesecake and two groups of people make The Butcher's Block.

  • That Other Kind of Work: THOTs, Digital Exhibitionism, Education, and Revenue Streams - THRST080

    She works hard for the money. He works hard for the money. They work hard for the money. Everyone's working...for that money! Some are working in ways that are risque-er than others and some are doing meaningful sex work.

    Victoria McCullough joins us for this episode and we take you on a conversational ride that offers points of views many have never considered. Get ready, grab a hanky and a beverage, and prepare to expand on your horizons. We're talking self-worth in the age of social media, those who do it for the 'gram and 'gram for the money on Instagram and OnlyFans, the value of real sex education, and discussing how sex work is a lot more than prostitution -- some kinds even benefits the community and society at large.

    On a lighter side, this episode also includes Train of THOT Thoughts, Facebook asking for your money, Lightening Round, and we have to choose: Brandy or Beyonce for The Butcher's Block.

  • Role Models: Think Long and Hard On The People Who Influence Your Life -- THRST079

    You choose your role models, they don't choose you; many people don't seem to realize that. Someone went after Cardi B for being herself, when she shared a tweet they didn't deem appropriate for those who have appointed Cardi B as their role model; we discussed this with our dear friend Derek Johnson and our new friend Bridget.

    We also discussed reasons and things to consider when supporting black owned businesses, the best music and soundscape for sex moments and morning sex, sharing your STD status, and friends always trying to set you up with a friend that you wouldn't classify or describe as attractive.

    The Butcher's Block has a study regarding the correlation of beard size to testicle size.

  • Your Friends Ain't Sh*t -- THRST078

    Your friends are worthless, rotten trash. They ain't sh*t; you know this, somewhere...deep down. Perhaps not all of them, but there are those the verdict is still out on. Don't worry, we'll help you make the call. You'll need pen and paper; or something that allows you to take notes.

    We had a friend to join us who has a friend that is trash. Her name is Bryana; she's the good friend...not the septic friend -- just for clarification. We had a great time and talked about some things -- some real life things, some this-can't-be-real-life things, and that "Why am I single?" thing. We also talked about open relationships, polyamorous relationships, and the status of relationships today -- which is a whole, entire other thing.

    The Butcher's Block has an item that gets double chopped.

  • Toxic: Fragile Masculinity and Things Straight Men Can't Do -- THRST077

    Brunch. Bathing. Eating whole bananas. Cuddling with another man. Prostate exams. Brojobs. Apparently, these are some of the many actions straight men aren't allowed to do without being considered gay. Are you feeling confused, twisted, and perplexed? We were, too...so you know we had to discuss! And did we ever! Jon Marquez, Quiana Parler, and Jared P. Smith joined the conversation and filled the studio with love, laughter, and friendship.

    In this episode, we tried to wrap our heads around the concept of fragile masculinity, but we also tried to comprehend Pre-Dating, thirst-trap marketing, gay men thirsting after straight men, and the realities of underwear modeling...among other things.

    Tea & Cheesecake returns with a sticky situation that gets messier with the smaller the size of your home community. The Butcher's Block has a few special people in it, and we introduce Cut or Uncut -- a new photograph driven segment that will leave you speechless, zooming in, gasping, and swiping.

  • Through Sickness And In Health: How Deep Is Your Wedding Vow? THRST76

    People take their wedding vows for granted and then jump on their high horse when it's time to act on them. They also have an opinion on how other people should behave toward and fulfill their own wedding vows.

    In this episode, we welcome back our favorite cousin -- Derek Johnson -- and chat it up on preparing to introduce your boo to your family and friends, unveil another fetish that's apparently a popular video category, and unveil the first ever Tea and Cheesecake opinion segment. Yes, we're giving our opinion on YOUR situations and questions. Or as we like to call it...blessing souls.

    Of course, we go in on one of your favorite brands and one of the country's major tourist traps on The Butcher's Block. Yes, major side eye to BMW and revealing some dirty opinionated-truth on Charleston, South Carolina. The real gag factor in this segment is what folks are doing with condoms. OMG!

  • Under The Radar

    Don't call it a comeback; call it a comeback episode or the return of your favorite podcast. A new year, but the same raunchiness, the same realness, and your favorite people haven't changed, either.

    In this brand spanking new episode...the first in over a year...we reveal a few adult interests (read into that) you need to be aware of incase they enter your life unexpectedly, announce instagrandstaning -- a dating trend you're likely (and unknowingly) participating in, deliver an update on cuddle parties, dive into TOP PRIVILEGE, discuss some common myths around oral transactions, and share a few other treats ... including some favorite things for you to consider when focusing on self-care. We're calling it #TreatYoSelfToAFavoriteThing.

    Of course, we have Messy Connections and The Butcher's Block -- where we shop and suggest you think long and hard about spending your hard earned money with a few companies (looks at: Royal Caribbean, Kohl's, and Office Depot/Office Max). That's all that needs to be said about that. We, also, announce Tea and Cheesecake -- our upcoming segment where you ask us for our opinion and guidance on the trials, tribulations, and situations of your world. We're doing it all with two of your favorite guests: Aurelio and Jezula!
