In this episode, NuNu Paris and Raffi explore who's actually driving our decisions and what the closing of a local staple like Shakers DC reveals about the turbulent future of nightlife.

We dive into the cultural phenomena of Wicked vs. the world's problems, and Nicki Minaj's UN speech, asking: are we prioritizing the right controversies, or just looking at what's in our immediate rearview mirror?

Welcome to our podcast, where we remind you what NOT to do... and this time, we're talking about taking the wrong turn in life.

Bad mixes. Empty dance floors. That one dude who requests Bad Bunny… again. In this special episode, Raffi hits the decks with DJ Melina to explore the rhythm, representation, and realness of Latino nightlife. From women fighting for space in a male-dominated DJ scene to the art of curating music that actually reflects the community, they break down how sound becomes identity—and how first-gen Latinos are reclaiming the party.

✨ No NuNu this week, but she’ll be back next week—so don’t change that dial.

The girls are fighting again. In this Hot Topics deep dive, NuNu Paris and Raffi break down the latest chapter in the Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj rap wars, from chart beefs to shady subs that turned timelines into battlefields. Who is really winning the culture war, and what does this drama say about the state of female rap today?

Then we pivot from rap beef to DC chaos with the U.S. government shutdown. What it means for workers, why it keeps happening, and how everyday people are caught in the middle. Expect shade, history, and plenty of DC perspective.

🎙 Welcome to Wait! Don’t Do It!, where we remind our listeners what NOT to do… and this time, it’s don’t be the headlines.

Gaslight. Gatekeep. Ragebait. The words didn’t even exist in our daily vocab until the internet shoved them down our throats. Just like D.C. nightlife — same bars, same playlists, same DJs, same “new” bar that closes in six months. In this episode, NuNu Paris & Raffi ask: are we living in a copy-paste culture where nothing feels fresh anymore?

It’s messy, it’s current, it’s cultural—welcome to Wait! Don’t Copy & Paste!

Crocs? We’ve worn them. We’ve judged them. And sometimes… we’ve defended them. This week, NuNu Paris & Raffi bring in fashion storyteller Dani (@the_Blonde_cat_lady, theblondecatlady.com) to settle the ultimate debate: are Crocs a crime against fashion—or the underdog hero of footwear?

From runway-ready collabs that cost more than your rent to the questionable charm of those little shoe charms, we’re unpacking why Crocs keep crawling back into our closets… and our hearts. Is it irony, peak comfort culture, or just a collective cry for help?

Plus, Dani puts us to the test in Croc or Not?, the game that proves some fashion crimes can’t be unseen.

If you’ve ever side-eyed a stranger’s shoes, worn something “ugly-cute” on purpose, or just need an excuse to justify your comfort obsession—this one’s for you. Don’t trip… unless you’re in platform Crocs.

💡 “Fashion is pain. Crocs are… whatever the opposite of pain is.”

Chaos? We’ve lived it. We’ve dodged it. And sometimes… we’ve caused it. This week, NuNu Paris & Raffi break down how to keep your cool when the universe, politics, and your social calendar are all trying you at once.

From Mercury Retrograde turning texts into disasters, to Trump’s DC takeover feeling like a low-budget horror sequel, to the whiplash of going from Market Days glitter to back-to-reality blues, we’re unpacking how to survive the chaos without becoming the villain in your own story. Is it all bad luck—or are we just living through Freakier Friday?

Plus, we test our composure in two games: Chill or Spill?, where we decide if wild scenarios deserve zen energy or full dramatics, and DC or Dictator?, the shocking trivia game that proves truth is stranger than fiction.

If you’ve ever been ghosted during retrograde, rerouted by the National Guard, or just felt like life had you in the splash zone—this one’s for you. Don’t lose your cool… unless it’s funny.

💡 “In retrograde, even your patience is in reverse.”
