Manny schools Layi in Mandarin - well a few numbers!  Layi talks about the Nigerian dictator, Sani Abacha.  Layi schools Manny on the term “soaking.” Layi and Manny react to clips of Tupac's interview at 17 and the "Asking Hunter-Gathers Life's Toughest Questions" video from the Fearless and Far Youtube page.  Check out the clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAGjuRwx_Y8

Manny and Layi discuss the one year anniversary of the podcast; Layi enjoys some alone time with the listeners while Manny’s laptop dies; they both wonder if they will ever make any money on this and why they don’t care either way; Manny gives his opinion on Dave Chappelle’s new special and surrounding controversy; and Layi thinks you shouldn’t be sent invoices for weddings you never attended. 

Manny and Layi welcome Philadelphia comedian Gary Sharp. We had way too much fun talking about why Gary’s parents are probably the Obamas, white fraternities, our favorite comedians, putting on wigs for Instagram clout, that time Jamie Foxx killed Doug Williams’ career (who? exactly), Monique’s relevancy and Manny’s perfect Nigerian accent. Later Manny convinces Gary not to get in the ring with Mike Tyson under any circumstances while Layi argues he should fight Mike AND Evander Holyfield for a little bit of money.


Philly people!

Manny and Layi reminisce about life over the last 18 months. Does Ben Shapiro know what pegging is? Or the difference between a WAP and a DAP? Manny opened a comedy show for Dave Chappelle's mentor, Tony Woods. Also, Nicki Minaj's cousin's friend's uncle's fiance's balls. 

Manny is back this week. They discuss Joe Rogan catching covid-19; Kanye West, Drake and just caught up on life. It is Layi's birthday (Beyonce shares the same birthday as Layi). 

Layi and Ayo discuss anti-vaxxers, a mutual friend who has dicey political views, family members who decided to be vaccinated,  whether it's ethical for doctors to deny care for anti-vaxxers. They also discuss the expectations of Nigerian parents. 

P.S. For all our listeners asking, Manny is out there opening for Dave Chappelle. 

Layi and Manny discuss snakes and “Mickey Mouse” in Shanghai; why bacon, steak and alcohol (Layi has never had a drop of it) are overrated; their shared hatred of small talk and business meetings and their thoughts on unvaccinated peeps. 

Layi and Manny catch up with Sharif Bennett and Prince Ace to discuss their exciting new venture, CineBlock. CineBlock is a cutting edge platform that helps people finance independent films via Blockchain technology, turning the everyday fan into an investor.

Layi and Manny discuss Layi's analytical approach to happiness. You can read Layi's blog entry here. Manny tries his darndest to poke holes but failed miserably. He'll probably be better prepared after actually reading the article. 

We welcome back Ayo with an almost  30-minute argument about whose fault it was that we haven't recorded in the last couple of weeks (8:22). Then we discuss Derek Chauvin's 22.5 year-sentence (33:21), when its appropriate to apologize at work (01:02:00),  why typos (sometimes) don't actually matter and the crew gets weirdly excited about Grammarly (new sponsor???) (01:23:00).
