You Be Aiight

Layi and Manny catch up to discuss why law school is easier than work but doesn't prepare anyone for transactional practice. They then switch gears to comment on dating stories from a black woman living in France (Layi watches some weird stuff on YouTube). To avoid getting cancelled, they decide it's probably best to bring on Ayo to get her perspective on when it is okay (and not okay) for men to approach women in public. (Hint: don't be creepy or ugly or both.) 

Manny and Layi discuss Spain, overwhelming Chinese restaurant menus, happiness, why Layi gave up crying over soccer and Manny gave up pointless Facebook arguments, artificial intelligence and more! 

In this Mannyless episode,  Layi and Ayo roasted Manny behind his back, plus Ayo shares "disaster" dating stories and more! 

Layi chats with Ngozi about being a black woman in tech, diversity in tech and Ngozi’s successful organization Black Women in Product (BWIP). Manny hops on later in the episode and the trio  reminisce about the time Layi made his white classmates  uncomfortable when he got in a very “spirited” debate with a Ghanaian classmate. The trio also discuss career paths and what they are really trying to do (involves beaches and traveling). 

Layi and Manny promised Charis this episode wouldn’t get too political and, well, oops. Charis is a former UVA law classmate. She is currently chilling in Atlanta and runs the show Greyspace — a video series (soon-to-be podcast??) about millennial dating. The trio discuss Captiol Hill, smoking hookah in the morning in the ATL, who should pick up the check on dates, why being a “stay-at-home” person is #goals ( and why it probably isn’t in the cards for Manny) and more!

Layi and Manny are excited to welcome their first guest of 2021 - Summer Brown! Summer is a 25-year-old 2020 graduate of the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and recently made her network television debut as Dr. Olivia Jackson on ABC’s “The Good Doctor.” (Oh and she is also Manny’s baby sister.) The trio discuss everything from how Summer got into acting to why she’s not on Facebook to the foolishness on Capitol Hill to why Tik Tok is just Vine to Layi’s thespian past to why Manny used to “talk” for Summer at the dinner table and more! 

Layi and Manny welcome y’all to the first episode of 2021 and discuss everything from the mutated COVID strain to taking off from work when you work remotely. Also, Manny spends the second half getting pretty nerdy about comedy while Layi tries to convince Manny to record his own comedy special.  

Ayo is back to kick it with Manny and Layi. We  discuss the differences between Joe Rogan, Joe Budden and Joe Biden;  whether Paul Wall can say the N-word (probably not); why Layi hates movies (especially “Inception”); Only Fans (again); why Nigerian parents hate fun or anything that’s not being a doctor; whether white people made up the term “Latinx”; black American identity (Busta Rhymes is Jamaican?); and Manny defends himself against two Nigerian android users! 

Welcome to the second part of our conversation with Ayo! We had even more fun in the second half. We talked about everything from Mecca to Only Fans. It’s hard to explain, you kinda just have to listen. Enjoy!

Layi and Manny welcome their second guest Ayo Shittu (once pronounced “shitty” by a law professor)! Ayo is a Nigerian-born recovering big law lawyer living in Houston. The trio laughs their way through discussions about feigning interest in wildly uninteresting legal topics during interviews, fancy Nigerian restaurants vs. bukas, white Jamaicans and more!
