We Love That!

If you wanna be startin' something, you've got to be ABOLISHING something. This week we're decompressing from the verdict in the murder of George Floyd and the continued murder of Black people by the state, and we break down why we need to defund and abolish the police, reminding ourselves that things actually do change from time to time, and bring out the big questions: Is there power in mobilization? Are we embarrassed, disgusted, or something else? And at the end of the day, does this have anything to do with anything???

This week we are joined by Lianne fan, truth teller, pitch accurate queen, and avid listener of the podcast, Emil Beckford! And he's NOT gonna write you a love song... at least not in the traditional sense. After Jerome comes out as a secret Drake stan, we parse out vinyl culture (aspirational) vs. radio culture (polarizing), and walk you through all of our formative childhood television shows, from Blues Clues to Steven Universe. This is secretly a Steven Universe podcast, after all. Emil reveals what it's like to get vulnerable with every facet of himself on his new album, where he writes all his best stuff (it's the shower), and how you can preorder a musical polaroid from him!

Fact Chequé:

Estelle's most recent album, "Lovers Rock," was released in 2018.

Hair. It's important! This week we're breaking out our brushes and dusting off the conditioner to talk all things hair: our hair journeys, indecipherable barbershop code (hair and gender...there's so much there), celebrity hair goals, and The Roots, if you know what I mean. We also give solutions for bad hair days, pitch some new color dye ideas, Kenyon lies to be supportive, Jerome accuses Kenyon's father of being the devil, and we finally bring up the ultimate binary: Sex and the City vs Chowder.

We'd say this episode is really good, but what does "really good" even mean?? We've got special guest, government expert, aspiring pop star, and Desire major Raffi Donatich on the pod this week to talk about....truly everything. Our obsession with music documentaries. Short attention spans in current events and in intimacy. Raffi's villain origin story involving a maypole and a Zac Efron lookalike. And as always, we talk about process! So tune in, stop thinking and start FEELING, mother!

I mean, what did you think we were gonna talk about this week?? We're talking about the biggest scandal of the week other than Jerome getting a Spotify Premium account. Lil Nas X reset the culture with his new devilish music video, and we're diving into everything: the cinematic parallels, God's alleged pettiness, conservatives grasping at straws, and yes, we address the shoes. Oh, and also: we wanted to title this one We Love Satan but went in a different direction. But you can imagine we did.

This week, we're talking about the recent shooting in Atlanta, the spike in violence against AAPI folks, and solidarity between the Black and AAPI communities. Listen in for how quarantine has shaped our understanding of bystanding, the importance of paying attention to language, what to do when you find yourself participating in white supremacy, and why carrying a sense of humility continues to be so important.

Hey there! This episode is both tight and mad dope, but if it were either red or green Kenyon would not be able to tell the difference. Jerome gets gay tenure, we defend Jacob Collier (as always), and tap into Oprah's most recent freelance work. But seriously, connecting the dots between Meghan and Diana and Britney and Mariah?? You've gotta tune into this one, babes.

How've you been?? We've got a quaint, domestic episode for you today, filled with ketchup, crosswords, and watercolor postcards. And at the end of the day it's the bumper sticker for me, so why don't you give it a listen. Gonna have to absolutely CLUCK on that one.

A lot to say here. First of all, we're back. Second of all, it's still the season of the mask. We recap all kinds of relevant topics, such as The Weeknd's halftime show and also a Sesame Street video that Jerome can't get enough of. We also discuss Kenyon's 40th birthday (soon) and Jerome's 60th (far), how to blow a $10 million budget, and we finally learn the truth behind bonhumora.

Baby, this episode is plant-based, vegetarian, qpoc, live laugh love, hipster-DIY vibes realness, inner child, healing...or something like that. Our guest this week is future children's book author and aspiring Dr. Doolittle, Haja Kamara! Tune in for an analytical look at The Lion King, the real meaning of VFD, and what we can learn from Punxsutawney Phil, all wrapped up in embracing desire and turning our flesh prisons into flesh gateways. Not to mention, we've got three iconic queens and Friends of the Pod: Natasha Bedingfield, Vanessa Carlton, and Mary Pope Osborne. And if you're in the mood to gift a plant, Haja is looking for one, baby.
