Ep.83 | 🎙️This episode gets personal. We explore the raw and complex emotions that come with sending a child off to college — a bittersweet rite of passage filled with pride, grief, and new beginnings. From there, we honor the birthday of a beloved nephew who passed away years ago, reflecting on how grief evolves over time but never fully fades.

Then, just as life brings a moment to breathe, an unexpected loss — the sudden death of a friend — shakes the foundation once again. We talk openly about navigating these overlapping waves of emotion, memory, and meaning.

But life, in its unpredictable rhythm, also throws in the unexpected and bizarre. We touch on the current uproar around male cheerleaders in the NFL — a culture clash of tradition, masculinity, and representation. And yes, we round out the episode with a weird and wild headline: ice cream made from breast milk — sparking a conversation about bodily autonomy, food ethics, and why this flavor may be more than just a gimmick.

Whether you're grieving, growing, laughing, or simply trying to keep up — this episode is a snapshot of the strange beauty of being human.

Ep.82 | This episode gets serious, gets real, and gets... a little weird. We open with a heavy but necessary conversation about the recent deaths in the U.S. Navy, highlighting the urgent need for mental health support within the military. Then, we switch gears to explore the ongoing stigma around seeking help and what real support can—and should—look like.

But don’t worry, we don’t stay serious too long. Next up: the now-infamous "Green Dildo Situation" that had WNBA fans and players alike doing double takes. What happened, how did it go viral, and why was it kinda... perfect?

Finally, we’re calling out Rotten Tomatoes for its wildly inaccurate ratings this year. Are the critics even watching the same movies as us? We break down some of the worst offenders and give you our YeahDat Certified Fresh picks.

• Acknowledgment of the lives lost in the Navy this year
• The toll of silence: Mental health, isolation, and systemic challenges
• Why it's okay—and necessary—to ask for help

🎙️ Ep.81 | In this episode, we unpack the neurological shifts that happen when you commit to a more empowered mindset—and why positivity isn’t about ignoring problems but reframing them with intention. From change and open-mindedness we discuss the benefits of change.

Then, we shift gears and discuss age gapped relationships like those of Deion Sanders and Bill Belichick and discuss whether its legitimate or not.

Then we get real about Trick Daddy’s viral comments labeling women over 35 as "damaged goods." We take this moment to challenge outdated narratives, highlight the power of maturity and lived experience, and discuss how words—especially in culture—shape mental health, identity, and self-worth.

Ep.79 | What does it mean to love someone who can’t speak, move, or age? In this deeply intimate and unconventional episode, we revisit episode 35 featuring Xen, a man whose life partner is a hyper-realistic, life-size doll named Yumi. To the outside world, it might seem bizarre, even unsettling — but to Xen, their bond is as real as any traditional relationship.

We explore how their connection began, how he navigates love, companionship, and societal judgment, and what this relationship reveals about loneliness, emotional fulfillment, and the changing definitions of intimacy in a tech-driven world.

Whether you leave this episode moved, puzzled, or rethinking what love looks like, one thing is certain: Xen’s story challenges us to confront our assumptions about connection and what it means to truly feel seen.

Ep.78 | In this special episode, we’re cracking open the vault and letting you in on an unreleased episode that almost didn’t make it to your feed. Raw, real, and slightly chaotic — we talk about why this one sat on the shelf and why now felt like the right time to bring it out.

But that’s not all…

We dive deep into the recent wave of FCC complaints following Kendrick Lamar’s headline-making halftime performance. From lyrical content to visual choices, some folks were not happy — and they made sure the feds heard about it. We break down what the complaints were, how they stack up against previous halftime controversies, and what it all says about art, censorship, and cultural double standards in 2025.
