Black Bougie Broads featuring Kev

Well Hello, Hello Bougie Bunch!  This week marks a special milestone for our host Miss Erica, so in true fashion we will all be partying it up and celebrating. In preparation for the B'day shenannigans, we weren't able to get in a full episode proper this week;  however, we couldn't leave you with nothin'!  We've provided you with a little Quickie drop to hold you over till the next.  And the topics for this one are all over the place; its whatever our goddess Erica wanted to talk about.  Pop some champagne for our girl and do a little 2-step as you listen to this one!  Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

Greetings Bougie Babez!  On today's episode, we're giving you another installment of our Bougie Advice Column.  We have some particularly ratchet scenarios that we're discussing today, and of course the convo gets derailed at a few points with endless chuckles and random rabbit holes.  It's always great to start off a new year with some huge laughs though.  Grab a huge cocktail to match, and enjoy!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

What up Bougie babes and bros!?!?!?  We've all been taking a little time during the holidays so we were without content for a few weeks, but decided to bless you with an extra episode this week that was recorded earlier in the season.  On this one, we're focusing on "Me Time";  How often can we get it, how we set it up, and what causes us to need it.  Its all about refilling you cup this episode, so go ahead and fill your cup with your favorite libation and enjoy!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

Greetings Bougie Posse!  On the heals up new years celebrations (Happy New Years to our listeners btw) we're discussing the latest trending topic involving a young pregnant teenager who was recently compelled to apologize to her church congregation for becoming pregnant.  The crew discusses our thoughts on the situation, and the blowback/aftermath that has occured to the pastor of this church for his words after the teenager shared.  The whole thing is going viral because many church services live stream.  Is teen pregnancy still a relevant issue in 2025? What is the young girl's mother's role in this and does she have a responsibility or take ownership of what happened?   Is what this church/pastor did appropriate or are there other ways of handling the situation?  Grab your communion juice and crackers, and get ready to enjoy this super-sized episode.Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

Seasons Greetings Bougie Babes and Bros!  For this week's special holiday episode, we're talking all things Christmas, as we all get ready,  We're all about making new holiday traditions so we also discuss hypothetical fantasy holiday setups with the guests of our choice.  It gets wild and crazy on this one.  Grab your hot cocoa and a shot of your choice alcohol as you wrap gifts and bust a gut on this one.~Your Bougie BartenderKev

Bougie crew step into the bougie den as “we listen, but we don't judge” and we talk about “the suspects.”  These games came about on social media, specifically on Instagram and some of them have been the most hilarious others have been the most embarrassing. Nevertheless, what a time we had trying to come up with schemes, and not judging the fact that you have divulged your interpersonal thoughts is almost the perfect recipe to be judged.  We expect you to get your laugh on, take a sip, sit back and think about something that you've heard from your loved ones, your family members, your spouse, your boo, your parents — think about something they've done and you listened, but you didn't judge.  No worries, some people think that you shouldn't release your interpersonal thoughts and that's OK because in the words, the Lovely Mrs. Tabitha Brown, that's your business.

Whats Up Bougie Babes and Gents?!?  This week we're talkin' bout the law!  All things sensationalized in the media regarding the justice system that is; whether it be our president elect's recent cabinet picks, or the recent pop culture fascination with Gypsy Rose and the Menendez Brothers.  We also give more input on whole Diddy situation, and even refer to some the most sensationalized court cases we remember from our childhood, like OJ Simpson.  Is there priviledge with a certain sector of folk when it comes to getting justice?  Why is there such a lengthy process to litigation in our court system?  And why do some bounce back from jail stints (i.e. Martha Stewart) while others struggle to make it?  Grab your drink of choice and some popcorn and be amused by our thoughts this week, its all in fun!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

Bougie Babes!!!! This episode had us in a headlock of a RANT! Do you feel like you have to save the world? Yes, the world Craig!! lol. Baybee we jumped on and relayed our sentiments about how life is tearing us up with obligations on top of obligations. Then… it's never enough! Hunni that's when the weird guilt sets in. Chile grab the Dussè XO, popcorn and cozy spot to enjoy because it gets real! Xoxo Erica Patrice 

We back at it again Bougie Babes!  Continuing where we left off last week, the Bougie Crew talk whether or not men get in relationships for love, legacy, or potential.  We also talk abstinence, the alienation of being single, and differences in the dating pools of men and women.  Last week's buzzword is sprinkled throughout the episode, so you know its full of a lot of laughs.  Enjoy!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

What's Up Bougie Babez?!?!? Miss E introduces a theory that she believes men are more likely to abandon or retreat from loving relationships because of vasopressin. What do you think of this hypothesis?  The Bougie Crew break down the hormones' that play into expressions within romantic relationships like vasopressin, and oxytocin.  Also brought into the discussion are public displays of affection on the innanet!  When is it appropriate to post someone when dating?  Is there a difference between being a private person or hiding your relationship status for more play?  Of course we go down a few rabbit holes, and this week's buzz word ("mental illness") starts to echo throughout the conversation.  Grab your drink and snacks, and prepare for the fun, cuz we're all in on this one! Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

Alright Bougie Babes and Bros!  We made it through another presidential election.  This one has probably been the most important and perhaps will rival for the most historical election of our lifetimes; and though it has been a heavy week, we get on the mic to give our thoughts on the results, our mindset moving forward, and hopefully provide some levity and encouragement along the way.  This week's convo (which was recorded on the night following election day) is just about as candid and real as it can get.  Enjoy~Your Bougie Bartender,~Kev

Seasons Greetings Bougie Babes and Bros!  Now we know you reading the title sayin' "Side pieces again?!?"   We know, we know!   It's that time of year again.... Cuffing Season is upon us. With all the consecutive holidays in the forefront, we discussed the politics of potluck culture; are potlucks still a thing?  Should they be?  What is your modus operandi for navigating company potlucks during this time of year?  And from discussing different types of dishes at potlucks, we diverge into a conversation about sides & situations.  What do you do when someone's sidepiece is brought to a holiday or family function?  We get into it all on this week's episode.  Grab you a couple of sides and some chicken while you're at it.  Its gonna be a gut-buster!~Your Bougie Bartender      Kev 

What's Good Bougie Babes and Bougie Bro's!  Thank you for your patience, and sorry to keep you waiting!  So we know we're late with this one but we had a lot going on last week with our latest homecoming celebration!  Before those festivities though, we got together to discuss the anticipation of celebrations as an adult.  As a child, Christmas was like the penultimate of holidays, and we would prepare and dream about it all year leading up to it; so this episode's discussion focuses on what things give us that same excitement and anticipation as adults.  Of course we have to talk about GHOE (Greatest Homecoming On Earth, and also the reason no episode was published last week). For the grown and sexy, what do you anticipate all year leading up to?  What things get you so excited you can hardly sleep.  Hope you enjoy this one!~Your Bougie Bartender  Kev

What's popping Bougie Babes!?! It's a special week and episode! Our very own Rich Uncle recently celebrated his birthday, so in his honor, we got on the mic to talk about how he felt about bidding goodbye to another year of life and welcoming a new one.  We delved into what we all hope for and are looking forward to in the future; And B honored his father and talked about some challenges he experienced when he passed this past year. This one is a “real” one and heartfelt one this time ya'll.  Enjoy!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

Bougie Babeez!  It has indeed been a week to say the least.  One thing that none of us could miss was the back-and-forth blasting that has been going on between popular rap star Cardi B, and her estranged and soon-to-be divorced husband, Offset (from rap group Migos).  We all know Cardi from Love & Hip Hop fame, which she only appeared on for a few seasons and quickly used the notoriety to glow up her music career; but it seems like with the posts she and Offset have made, she is back to reality show antics.  We break down our thoughts on the public exchange on the innanets, and talk about some of our own former situationships that ended because of infidelity.  When a relationship goes south, do you tend to want to vent to the internet, or do you respect the person and keep your gripes to yourself?  Stay tuned, sit back and follow us down this road; it is truly intriguing.Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

What's Good Bougie Babes!?!? Check out our latest live recordings; This weeks' episode is from a live conversation we recently had to address some recent beef that our very own Erica Patrice noticed amongst fellow podcast and social media personalities Tony Gaskins and Laterras Whitfield ("Dear Future Wifey").  Though both are prominent figures on the interwebs and in similar lanes, Tony recently took jabs at Laterras and we break it down.  The "Crabs in a Barrel" syndrome is very familiar within our community.  Why does it happen?  What do you do when you experience unprovoked character asassination within your own circle?  Grab a snack and take a listen as we analyze and relate to the situation.  And if you're liking what you hear and want to see us live in action, check out the episode on our YouTube channel!Your Bougie Bartender,~Kev

Did HE do wrong? Step into the Bougie Den to discuss music mogul-producer-artist-party extraordinaire and freak, Sean “Puff Daddy/Diddy” Combs. Was Cassie the catalyst of all of this debauchery? Will other well-known artists and entertainers be implicated since there is video? Why so many bottles of lube and baby oil and who counted them?  Will he be able to circumvent any charges due to his vast amount of finances?-B, The Rich Uncle

Bougette's and Bougetto's, this one's for you!  Have you ever been called Bougie, Fancy, highfaluting, or extra?  WE ALL HAVE, I mean come on; its in the name of our podcast!  This week though we break down "bougie".  What does it mean to us to be called bougie?  Is it positive thing, or is it negative?  How does one perceive being referred to as bougie?  What makes you bougie?  Per usual, our trademark tangents are in this week's discussion too, so you'll find us remarking on the Usher tour, wearing Grillz, and each host's individual super-powers'.  And we even sprinkle some of our latest splurges which we feel would be considered the bougiest!  Pop your fancy popcorn and drink a fancy cocktail with your pinky's up on this one.  Only the first class finest for the Bougie Crew!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev 

Whats Crackin' Bougie Babes and Bougie Bros?!? On the heels of the latest viral Funky Friday podcast episode with Cam Newton and Dr. Bryant, we tackle the topic of dating individuals with children, and how each of us feel about it.  Can you date someone who has kids if you don't already?  When dealing with dating  or partnering with someone who already has kids, what is most important?  How do you navigate when the person you are dating's kids are disrespectful or challenge you?  And would you want to get involved with someone who could see having kids with you but didn't want to marry you?  We get into it all, as well as some sidebar convos about none other than  fried chicken, of all things!  Grab you a bucket of extra crispy, kick back and enjoy this one; its equal parts litty and funny!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

What's good Bougie Babes!  We're back to finish up last weeks discussion about our guest Benita's concept of the "Coy Boy".  We opened the floor last week with the debate on whether or not today's modern man is pursuing and courting the same way they did in the past, or if they are waiting for the women to lead the dating direction. This week we're continuing this convo, as well as discussing the controversial phrase "be my peace", the competitive nature of dating, and how one would react to find your ex is dating someone that could be your twin.  Kick back and relax with your snacks, its easy listening and lots more laughs ahead.~Your Bougie Bartender,    Kev

What's good Bougie Crew!  We've got a fan favorite back for this episode.  We previously were able to to chop it up with Benita in episode 97.  Today, she put us onto a new concept that she and a lot of women are noticing, so we had to discuss.  Do men not feel the need to chase anymore?  In the dating landscape, is it now acceptable to anyone to shoot their shot, or should it always be the man who is initiating pursuit.  What happens when someone is interested in you and you're unaware?  Tap in and enjoy, this one's a good one!  ~Your Bougie Bartender  Kev

What's up Bougie Babes! When I tell you, it has been so long since last season so we all were too excited to get back at it! We get carried away on this week's supa-sized episode!  So we're of course catching up with one another, so there's that tea, but the tangents that develop from our convo flow get insane! We go from talking about laying hands on a significant other, to trash treatment, to loving vs liking someone, to one of our hosts giving a very graphic description of a traveling experience with a partner that went all the way left.  It was tremendously tough to keep the train on the rails for this one,  but each topic lead to more and more tangents and of course our usual banter.  We cuttin up, so buckle up and enjoy this one; It's a Doozy!~Your Bougie Bartender Kev

SURPRISE! We're BACK! New Year, New Season, and we're less than 90 days away from a new US President, so of course we had to talk about politics one good time! As messy, stressful and serious as this election season has been, you know we had to put our own sauce on it and discuss.  Now this wasn't really a political debate, but the Bougie Broads and Bros give our thoughts and opinions on all parties involved (pun intended), our hopes and wishes, our gripes, and our encouragements.  Politics can be heavy, so of course we had to gon' and get it out of the way to start the season off!  Looking forward to more spicy dialogue coming forth later in the season!  Enjoy and thanks for waiting on us!  We're so glad to be back!~Your Bougie Bartender, Kev 

What's good Bougie Babes and Bros!?!?  It's almost time for season 5!  We've missed you all so much. and as a little lead-in to our season 5 premiere, we decided to hop on the mic and talk to ya'll from the comforts of our own beds.  Tonight you hear from the lovely Erica Patrice and Bougie Bartender Kev catching up on what has been going on with them since their last episode, and also what you can expect to hear for the upcoming season.  Its gon' be lit!  We hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for more!

BONUS EPISODE ALERT!  We know you're probably out in these streets getting your shop on or in a food-coma from whatever good eatin's you had yesterday, but we wanted to gift you with something special.  The Bougie Crew + 1 decided to hop on the mic to discuss some of the latest news in black celebrity culture, from the allegations from Cassie about Diddy, to the allegations from Keke Palmer about her baby-daddy, her mom and her allegations about Usher, and the alleged assault claims that took place at a Tamar Braxton concert.  Yes, we know, its a whole lot of allegations so its gonna be a whole lot of this word thrown around in this episode... "ALLEGEDLY"!  We give you our take on these topics, and are joined by former guest Sweet Tooth, and we also each give thanks for specific things we are grateful for in our lives.  Enjoy this treat for your ears, and Happy Holidays!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

We've made it through 4 seasons, and 100 episodes guys!  We've gotta celebrate this one BIG!  We reminisce on some of the funniest, hardest, and our most favorite episodes from all the way back at episode 1 back in 2020, to now. You're gonna get some tea on behind the scenes and what we've learned throughout this process.  Please enjoy as the Bougie Crew goes down memory lane, and feel free to go back and re-listen to some of those episodes that blazed our way to this point.  As always, we are incredibly grateful to our Bougie Babes for listening and engaging!  Sip ya drank, do yo thang; and we'll see you next season, which may be sooner than you think! Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

What's up Bougie Babes & Bro's? Okay, so now that you've heard our thoughts on the Jada & Will situation right after the slap, here's our thoughts TODAY after finding out that the Black Community's idolized wedded couple has actually been living their lives separated for years, even through the midst of the Red Table talk series, the August Alsina entanglement revelation, and the Chris Rock assault on live television.  Were any of you guys surprised to hear the news?  Is it genuine or just fodder to sell books?  True, at one time, we looked up to the Smith's as "couple goals", but does that still ring true?  We also discuss the Jeezy and Jeannie Mai split a little more in detail, and Miss E's definition of the strangest couple of modern times (Caresha and Diddy).    Sip some tea on this one, while we give you some of our own!Your Bougie Bartender,~Kev

Bougie Babes!  We takin' it back this week!  We've got our new episode (which will be dropping later this evening) but since we are discussing someone we've talked about at length before, we decided to bring it back around.  Jada Pinkett-Smith has been making her rounds this week, and we of course are gonna give you our 2 cents, hell, our whole dollar on that, but what were we saying about her the last time we discussed her?  Welp, we did a live event right after the infamous slap heard around the world at the 2022 Academy Awards, and boy were our thoughts different then opposed to what they are now.  Here's our conversation from then, and come back because later tonight we will post our latest thoughts on the matter!   Until then, we are sure you will get some laughs with this heated convo!Bougie Bartender~Kev

Bougie Babes!  What's good!?!  So now it seems like the culture is sort of in this 'relationship recession' in a sense because so many couples are splitting.  Every other day we get the tea on another couple calling it quits.  But there are always a few random exes that may spin dat block and give the relationship another try.  This week, we're talking about whether or not WE would, or HAVE spun dat block before.  We also give our take on some of the latest couples to throw in the towel, and our thoughts on which former couples should or shouldn't ever try to get that ol' thang back again.  Which of us do you think is the most, and the least open to the idea of giving an ex a second try?  Which couples in the media do you believe should spin da block or never spin it back again?  Get you some Avion, some snacks, and listen up, cuz this one's good!Your Bougie Bartender,~Kev

Greetings and Salutations Bougie Babes!  So, you remember when we talked about our upcoming 20-year High School Class reunions and other reunions past back on episode 94?  Well this week, we continued the conversation but we've got another fresh perspective. Benita keeps it candid with us about how she was able to attend both of the separate events back at the 10-year reunion, and how she feels about it happening again this year at the 20-year.  She spoke her peace, and as usual, we ventured into all territories reminiscing about our school days.  Some of us have since attended our reunions or are even attending them this weekend and we decided to chat with an integral part of the story that Miss Erica, and classmates relayed about the shocking discovery of another reunion for the white members of their class of '03.     Sit back, sip some cognac, and relax as you get into this one.  Its pure entertainment!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

Bougie Babes! Whew chile...ever had a boss who you felt was setting you up for failure?! Nonetheless fire you for trying to do your job?! Well baybeee this is the episode for you! We had the pleasure of bringing our new friend of the show, Jasmyne Flowers, to the show and she told us about her job and the mess that it brought to her professional career. She left us confused, hurt and ready to damn fight because how could her boss play in her face like that?! The door was opened to addressing the qualms we as black people deal with in working for black women in leadership. Yes baybee...we went THERE! Grab your likka, your human resources specialists phone number and your edges because baybeee  you will need it. xoxo, Erica Patrice 

What's Good Bougie Babes and Bro's!  We're keepin' it real this week with the age-old question, "Can you turn a hoe into a housewife"?  Society has a "Housewife Goals" culture currently that many in our generation are either involved in, or currently seeking.  Many consider marriage the ultimate level-up.  So we decided to tackle how its possible for men and women who have been in these streets to be transformed with the coveted ring on it!  Does a checkered sexual or dating past matter when selecting your lifemate?    Is it possible for someone to suddenly go from promiscuity to eternal monogamy?  Get into it with us!  We even touched on whether cosmetic surgery impacts your decision to date or pursue someone.  Grab your earl grey tea or some grey goose, and a snack and enjoy the debate ahead!Your Bougie Bartender,~Kev

Bougie Babes!!! Baby the whole cast is celebrating 20 years! We graduated from high school in 2003 and it's time to celebrate… right?!

Despite the feelings and frustrations, we had a time!!! Grab your brown likka and snacks because you will need it! Xoxo, Erica Patrice 

Bougie Babes!! Have you ever been in an argument and words went way too far?  Well baby we addressed it here! Erica Mena (from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta) who is Latina called Spice (a black woman) a monkey and all hell has broken lose. The cast addressed this issue and the rules to an argument being minorities. The thoughts were vast and well worth a listen because everyone had a difference of opinion. Grab your a$$ kicking drank and your snacks because you will need it! Xoxo,Erica Patrice 

Bougie babes!! This episode we welcomed celebrity hairstylist, Mr. Virginia State Alumni  himself and proud member of Kappa Alpha Psi, Mr. LaTroy Brinkley to the Bougie Den. LaTroy brought wisdom and real life experiences to the table as he expressed how life has turned around for him, hence the reset button. The cast listened with bated breath as he discussed being a father, divorce and finding love all over again. It was truly beautiful.  So grab your drank,  your edges and have your boo on speed dial because you will need it.Xoxo, Erica Patrice 

What's Poppin' Bougie Ladies and Gents!?!  This week we decided to tackle the "hot seat" that is being the so-called Villain.  Now we all know that for entertainment purposes, the films and television that we watch will always have villains as a necessary part of the plot-line; but our discussion in the Bougie Den this week centered around times in our real lives where we have been portrayed as the "villain" and how these times shaped us and lead to growth.  Does being the villain necessarily mean that you are in the wrong or have evil intent?  What motivates others to portray us at the villain?  Are villains' misunderstood?  How important is it to control the narrative that exists about your character? Listen, these stories get pretty deep and as always, there's some laughs in here.  Grab some wine and sip from your favorite goblet, and gon' and let out a spine-tingling cackle as you listen to this one.  You know you'll want to!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev

Bougie Babes! Listen…we came together to answer questions that allowed the crew to give our perspectives and baybeee it was a TIME!! We answered questions from social media and Reddit with regards to relationships. Hunni the world is crazy because the scenarios were salacious and edgy; we were on the floor!! Let us know who you think gave the best advice for these wild scenarios. Grab your Casamigos, snacks and edges because baybee you will need it! Xoxo Erica Patrice 

What's Good Bougie Ladies & Gents?  If you caught last week's episode, you already know to come on back for the rest of the festivities.  We continue the rest of our chat with expert-Boyfriend #2 , our guest Mark, about the in's and outs of playing the supporting role in a situationship.  Is this a permanent position one should aspire to have?  Can you ever truly be satisfied as a glorified place-holder?  Get your cognac, a snack, and sit back and relax as we further unpack the impacts of being a side piece to others and further relationships.~Bougie Bartender,     Kev

What's good Bougie Babes and Bougie Bros?  C'mon into the Bougie Den this week as we get into the mind of a self-professed side-piece.  We had a chance to chop it up with a special guest, Mark, who came to us by way of a virtual-dating match with our very own Erica P.  Though their initial conversations bred the topic of this episode, we gave Mark the floor to be completely candid and enlighten us on how being a successful side-dude works.  Is this really a position you want to be in?  How is this type of arrangement set up? Is there an appeal to being the saucy side and not the main?  What are the rules of this game?  You've gotta get into this convo!  Of course, we all had our distinct and differing opinions, and trust, we couldn't even fit it all into one episode.  This is just the first half.  Sip your bouj-bar crafted libations and grab some bomb-ass sides to snack on while listening, and let us know what you think as well! ~The Bougie Bartender, Kev

Hey Bougie Babes! Have you ever asked your significant other if you have gained weight?  Or asked if someone has ever cheated on you? If so, baybee this episode is for you!!

Hey Bougie Babes. are ya'll starting to feel old?  Step into the Bougie Den as your favorite aunties and uncles talk about knocking on 40's door!! The Bougie Crew discussed specific moments when we began noticing that we're getting older.   At a certain age, do you get past your prime?  What things can you NOT do the older that you get?  Partying, drinking, eating...  none of it is the same the older you get.  From the physical, to the mental of it all, we break down whether or not it truly gets greater later, and whether we are all aging gracefully like fine wine or rottin' like raisins!   Even though we're getting older we realized that we are still lit and living our best lives!!! Tune in for some great conversation as Kevin asks Erica to go half on a baby!!! Grab your Bengay and Icy Hot and join us in this geriatric discussion as we come to terms with our new normal.~Mrs. Johnise

Lets get to the nitty-gritty!  Step into the Bougie Den as we discuss the best questions to ask someone when you're going on a date.  Is there a such thing as asking too complex questions?  It's been observed that at our big age, folks will ask about what you do and where you work before asking about YOU!  What are some non-negotiables or things that would make you no longer desire to date someone?  If the current topic of the Supreme Court rulings on affirmative action and/or student loans came up and they were negatively addressed at your date, how would that make you feel as a person of color?  Do you think minorities have made advances because of affirmative action in education?  Why does the black community seem to be attached by these rulings?  Do you think affirmative action is necessary today?  Plus, we discuss higher education, the importance of HBCUs, how expensive college can be, and how student loans have been forgiven for some but not all.Lets sit back, relax and unpack.  Grab your Henny, because we have plenty!- B, The Rich Uncle

Step into the Bougie Den as we discuss the positive and negative effects of social media.  We have our friend of the show, Laz, who opens up to discuss his issues with social media, and how it can negatively impact different relationships or your mindset.  Do you feel that looking at certain images and following certain people impact your mental state? Are some folks braggadocious on social media?  When you're having a bad day or going through it - do you run to social media?  Do you think its necessary to take breaks from social media?  How many hours do you spend on social media?Lets sit back, relax, and unpack what social media really means to you.  Grab your Henny, because we have plenty.-B, The Rich Uncle

What's up Bougie Baybees! Ya'll know its the summertime right?  Its officially the summer of '23, and with the warmth of the weather comes a LOT of trippin!  By trippin' we do mean all things related to traveling and going on trips!  So what kind of traveler are you?  Do you pack all your wardrobe and then some for a 3-day excursion?  Do you plan ahead of time or do you take trips on a whim?  Do you prefer a group trip or to travel solo?  And for the luvers, what is your ultimate BAE-cation fantasy?  We get into it all on this extra-long road of an episode!  Grab your travel canteen and some good hood snacks for the road, buckle up, and enjoy this one!  ~Bougie BartenderKev

LOL.  Having different careers allowed for us to address an array of feelings and professional views as we dived in deep.  We relayed how our degrees have fared for us thus far and how we can have a better wellbeing despite the feelings. We even tackled better processes to make businesses run smoother and more efficient. Baybeee grab the dinner wine, your snack and a church tambourine as we bless your spirit with this one... whew chile!! xoxo Erica Patrice
