You've Been Served

DISCLAIMER: We speak on some touchy subjects particularly pertaining to R. Kelly and we would like to specifically clarify that none of the members of You've Been Served have ever or will ever condone the alleged actions and decisions made by R. Kelly and his affiliates. 

Episode Twenty-Three is all over the place for Ty, Chris, Jorge, and Robert. They start out witha few small updates about Chris and Jorge and then quickly move on to a myriad of topics including (but not limited to) the new Tesla Cybertruck, Thanksgiving and the difference between cultures for caucasain-americans, hispanic-americans, and asian-americans, deepfakes, the new Scoob movie, the new Sponge-Bob movie, Kanye, R. Kelly, cancel-culture, and Robert's surprising new idea for a hair style.

In this episode the gang (Ty, Jorge, and Robert) are asking for trouble as they dive into the biggest viewer complaint thus far: stay on one topic. After openly discussing the possibility of doing just one topic per podcast they decide to do exactly the opposite and move on to stories from their High School years. Aiming to be controversial and stir up the Beyhive the gang tackles the dispairity between Jay-Z and Beyoncé's net worth and whether or not it is an example of sexism in the music industry. Finally, Jorge asks Robert and Ty what they think about the Fyre Festival and shares his own experience with it.  This leads to them discussing how important it is to vet your sources and do your own research (especially in this day and age).

In the seventeenth episode we flashback to the beginning of the podcast, bringing back Ty, Robert, Chris, Jorge and special guest Diana Arceo. The episode is less formulated and takes a lot of detours including (but not limited to) dating people with kids, how Diana got pregnant, favorite shows from their childhood, and a story about Chris trying to be Ty's wingman gone horribly wrong. The three main topics are wingmen, what defines a "good guy" (or "good girl") as a partner, and whether or not they'd participate in a devil's threeway.

In the sixteenth episonde Ty, Jorge, and Robert start with a hot topic: Mansplaining. Ty has a lot to say about the concept of mansplaining and it's legitimacy. Robert and Jorge distance themselves from his perspective causing Ty to create his own podcast, "You've Been Separated". Then the gang discusses whether or not they want kids, how many, and why. Then they move on to the newly announced Boondocks revival, but quickly get distracted eventually leading to a in depth discussion of censorship and if/when it is appropriate to use the F- or N-word.

In the fifteenth episode of You've Been Served, Jorge, Ty, and Robert really start to find their groove, moving through subjects quickly, but retaining the same amount of fun and energy. They start off the podcast talking about MPAA Ratings and the new film, Joker. They discuss some of the recent controvery surrounding it and how best to handle films for mentally unstable people. Then they move on to discuss a  new bro code: "If a bro is cheating, one must not tell his significant other". After the gang explains their thought Jorge shares something with the group. Jorge, Ty and Robert also discuss the news that Spider-Man is back in the MCU and whether or not they should ever work at NPR given their experience in broadcasting.
