Venting and Vino Podcast

We address a couple of HBCUs in the news including Howard University being sued for allegedly failing rape victims and Betsy DeVos being booed at Bethune-Cookman. Plus we have some thoughts on Russell Wilson addressing Ciara's son as "our kids."

Tionni, Georgette, and Nicky tackle the newly passed healthcare bill, the release of Nigerian school girls from Boko Haram, and debate about whether or not Miley Cyrus appropriated hip-hop culture. Plus, we talk about what factors keep single people single.

This week involves more brands effing up on different fronts from the fiasco called Fyre Festival to Shea Moisture leaving out their most important demographic...women of color! We also get real on the dangerous stealthing sex trend. Even our engineer, Wize, weighed in for the male POV. Lastly, we try to decipher how many standards are too much and if our standards are too high. We want to hear from you. Email us [email protected].

In this episode, Georgette and Tionni share stories of their visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in D.C. We also weigh in on Janet Jackson’s alleged $500M marriage heist, prom dress codes and our favorite/not so favorite prom memories. Plus we go deep about the royal family’s revelations about mental health and a Christian mother’s acceptance of her transgender child.

This week, we address the racial profiling of two brands, one involving Drake and a country club, the other brand being Airbnb. Tighten up brands. We discuss the Cleveland shooter that posted his horrific act on Facebook. Disclaimer: we recorded this episode on Monday night before news of the Cleveland shooter committing suicide happened. We also dive into the internet dragging of ex-NBA player, Gilbert Arenas, and Tyrese's previous comments leading him to apologize. When will some men learn that we women aren't here for your ignorant comments. We also preview a new track from Russian-born, New York based producer & DJ, Kaai called "Freaky People."

This week, we address a myriad of things including the tone deafness of specific ads with recent brands Pepsi, Nivea, and Tory Burch, how the MTV Movie & TV Awards are going genderless with some of their awards, and sexy nicknames with our significant others. We question sexualizing the word "daddy" (or #zaddy) and why cisgender women use this term with cisgender men.

We got our first SPONSOR thanks to the Alliance of Creative Professional Women. Learn more about them at creativeprofessionalwomen.com. In this episode, Georgette experiences life with Invisalign, Tionni’s "off" day expands to her show being canceled, and Nicky hates the fitness life. We also go in about the Senate Democrats' plan to filibuster Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, Bill O’Reilly’s disrespectful comment about Maxine Water's hair giving birth to #BlackWomenAtWork twitter hashtag, and Mexico City's penis subway seats.

The gang's all here! In our Air It Out segment, Nicky wasn't a fan of the spring breakers while she was on vacay in Miami, Tionni was having a slight "off day", and Georgette's been procrastinating on a presentation. We had some comments for your ass as it related to United Airlines policing women's clothes, a school's mock slave auction (the fuck?), the healthcare bill being canceled (serves them right), Chris Brown making a cameo on ABC's #blackish, and the amount of information we were willing to tell with our friends as it related to intimate relationships. Guess who's the open book? Press play to find out.

While Nicky was getting her life in Miami, Matthew Butler joined us again as our special co-host. This week's chatter includes Tionni and Georgette cooing over their favorite Drake jawns on #MoreLife. Trump's wiretapping claims get shut down at Monday's hearing by FBI Director James Comey, Kyrie Irving and Shaq think the Earth is flat, AND Tyrese is at it again telling single black women why they're single. PRESS PLAY!

We're drinking again! We celebrated Nicky's birthday this week plus none of us are here for the military nude photos scandal. In ridiculous news, a couple fakes a murder [with ketchup] to get money owed to them and we delve into our theories and experiences about dating younger. Hey tenderroni!
