You Be Aiight

Are rap freestyles real or fake? Age old debate – Biggie or Tupac? Manny expresses his disappointment in finding out all of Jay-Z’s great lines were actually Biggie’s. Layi waxes lyrical about his unique enjoyment of music. Dave Chappelle’s jokes about Jussie Smollett. 

Manny pulls out “LikeU” cards (available at likeucards.com) and asks Layi some random questions. They discuss everything from the last time they cried to what counts as a real sport to what animals they think they could beat in hand to hand combat to Manny’s new famous neighbor to why Manny wants to be the Stephen A. Smith of hip hop and more! 

Layi and Manny are back. They discuss the conflicts in the Gaza strip; snow bunny crises as described by Dr. Umar Johnson; Steve Harvey's ridiculous take on friendships between men and women; should you say "homeless" or "unhoused?"

Layi and Manny welcome Ayo and Ngozi back to discuss straight men and women being just  friends, dating advice gurus,  polyamory, non-traditional marriages/relationships, Kordae’s “problematic(?)” comments about Naomi Osaka and at some point we decide to name the episode vaccines, booties and grace.  Enjoy! 

Layi and Manny welcome Ayo and the trio discusses their reaction to the Derek Chauvin trial verdict. Layi also argues that people shouldn't be allowed to plead "the Fifth" but Manny and Ayo aren't convinced. 

Manny and Layi discuss happiness, why Layi walked 100 miles last month, benefits of therapy, and later on discuss their thoughts about recent police killings and whether there is such a thing as a good or bad cop. 

Layi and Manny welcome Hannah Trav! Hannah is a very funny comedian, podcaster and third year law student at Temple.  We discuss how Hannah got into comedy, her love for Dane Cook, fake Belgian aunts and bath bomb, turning down marriage proposals in West Africa, her British grandma and the Italian Mafia, her biggest fears and more!

On their 25th episode Layi and  Manny discuss the joy of not having to do something you thought you had to do, what they bring (or don’t bring) to dinner parties, strange scenes in lit up houses at night, and the Derek Chauvin trial. 

Manny and Layi happily welcome fellow UVA alum Teddy T.  to discuss Hawaii’s  racial history, Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter II, expressing Asian invisibility and empowerment through comedy, native dialects and languages, the DC Metro (including the only way Teddy would ever vote for Trump) and much more! 

For our #23 (Jordan!) episode, Manny and Layi bring back Ayo for more fun to discuss Coming 2 America, the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek, social media creeping on people, celebrity crushes, impressing Uber drivers with your law degree and whether it is ever appropriate to let an Uber driver use your bathroom (???).
