This week's episode is the last one of the year 2020, and we made sure to end it with a bang! For most, this year is definitely one for the books as we navigate life during a pandemic. We wanted to take the time to really reflect back on 2020, and everything we have learned from it, and what we are looking forward to in the year 2021. We took a moment to discuss the results of the historic election that took place, and our thoughts around it. Also, instead of our hate minute segment, we decided to flip it by ending the year with a love minute, and Diggz closes us out with his bar of the week.

It's been a minute since we got the squad all together, so naturally the crew had to catch up a bit. Spicy is excited she is finally going on a trip, Diggz turns 35 this week, Popslife is still getting adjusted to life in Philly, and Spicy had to school Popslife on the difference between a prostate exam and a colonoscopy exam. Since we are in the midst of probably the most contentious election cycle in our lifetime, It's only natural the crew goes in on their thoughts about the political climate so far, the importance of voting, and the political chaos that has ensued since the most recent debates. As always, we end the episode with our hate minute and Bar of the week.

In this week's episode the crew reunites after a couple of months of not recording together. Lots of catching up and life changes that have happened since the last episode, that it was necessary to have some catching up time. The topics in this week's episode discuss several scenarios of double standards and our opinions on them, Diggz and Popslife go in on sports while spicy sits back and learns a thing or two, and of course it wouldn't be an episode without the infamous hate minute and bar of the week.

This episode is all about reflection of what has transpired with all of the racism and injustices that have happened. As minorities, we feel the need to speak about our thoughts and feelings, and also discuss what some possible solutions could be.

In this week's episode we give our thoughts and opinions on whether it is too soon to re-open businesses, or whether we feel like the timing is appropriate. Diggz and Poplife get into the MJ docuseries, and in honor of Mother's Day recently, each of us get into sh*t our momma's say. We of course get into this week's hate minute, and end things with our positive bar of the week.

Well this week we find ourselves once again in quarantine, so we decided to spin up another virtual session. Catch up with us as we update you all on what we've been up to since our last episode in quarantine. We dive into the financial and social impacts Covid-19 has had on us personally or those close to us, how social media has played a huge role negatively and positively, then we completely switch it up and take it back to the 90's! All three of us grew up in the 90's and have so many memories from this era that it was only natural that in these times, we take it back to a place in time that we found super enjoyable. Of course, just live every episode, we end things with our hate minute and bar of the week.

As the rest of the world deals with this new normal, and doing their part by staying in and social distancing themselves, we are also doing our part by staying indoors.
