However Comma Podcast

Brines bring moisture. Marinades bring flavor. Do you really have to choose?

Fried or...scrambled, poached, deviled, over easy, or maybe in a quiche?

This is not a debate. It's an introduction.

It’s officially year 31 for Jayde, so of course things are changing, which can be a good thing sometimes.

2020 is really giving me too much. Rest In Peace, RBG, you were a true inspiration to many. Life’s leaders are leaving this Earth and as I am growing older I see changes in myself and how my desires are changing. Everything is what you make it. You get out what you put in, so I’m going extra hard.

"I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but it was GOD that made it grow." 1 Corinthians 3:6 Black Lives Matter. Rest in Power, King Chadwick Boseman.

Yoooo, are my single friends aight? This quarantine is making dating life, as well as boo'd up life, a little different nowadays. You gotta take life and everything it throws at you because everybody wants somebody, right?!? And included in wanting somebody is having sex, too. Don't be shy - just embrace your inner Cardi B. and Megan Thee Stallion.

I don't know about y'all, but there ain't any "Of Warren" type of action going on over here. Society, the "normalize" culture, being in women's business, and submission is discussed in this episode. Grab a strong drink, coffee, kombucha, or your ohm bowl for this because babyyyyyyy...

I'm baaacckkkkkk and kicking off SEASON TWO! Can you believe that we are STILL in a damn pandemic AND they are STILL killing unarmed Black people in the street like we didn't build this damn country?!? Listennnnn, the year of 2020 has been slinging out life lessons and it didn't miss me, baby. Come on, listen and holla at me for a minute.

On this special episode of the However Comma Podcast, Jayde discuss COVID-19 and its affects on incarcerated individuals in jails and prison with Dr. Elmore Alexander of SmartPlex ATL.

Can you have a hobby without it being a side hustle? In this episode, Jayde discusses our constant chase of the bag (aka money) and whether the monetization of our hobbies cause damage in the long run. She also throws shade about stimulus checks, empathizes with Todd Tucker (Kandi's husband), and speaks of her own struggles with side hustles.

Jayde really couldn't decide whether to use that Drake lyric or to use Young Thug's Meet Me at the London for the title. Either way, this episode's guest, Janice Davis, hails from the United Kingdom and lives a bit outside of London. Join us as Jayde and Janice discuss entrepreneurship, Janice's business Arbonne, work/life balance, and of course, they both share a few stories and some insight about happenings in their countries.

Heyyyyyyyy Port City...Talking about Mobile..HOME OF THE MARDI GRAS! In this episode, Jayde does the However Comma Podcast's very first THROWBACK THURSDAY (even though the episode didn't finish until Friday) and she is taking it back to her vacation in February to (seriously where else) Mardi Gras! She has live from the street audio clips and shares insight into what really goes down at the BOOM BOOM! Oh and the clips are full of laughter, love, and family. LAISSEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER!

Jayde blames Destiny's Child, Megan Thee Stallion, and City Girls for making everyone feel that there is a certain way to pay bills when you're married or in a relationship. Frankly, times have changed a lot and so have opinions about what it means for a man to "provide" and "gender roles" In this episode, Jayde is joined by one of her closest friends, Laquel = the educator, the wife, the mom, the AMAZING! Grab your drink and disregard the kids joyfully playing, background noise, and technical difficulties...it's a pandemic.

Have you ever realized that to somebody those people that Frank Ocean described in his song "Super Rich Kids" could also be YOU? Yeah, me either. In this episode, Jayde discusses the infamous term #FirstWorldProblems and what it truly means? Grab a drink and get into this unpacking.

I don't know about y'all, but Jayde is with Cardi B on this one. Yeahhhhh, we were laughing and making jokes...but uh, shit is indeed getting real out here with Coronavirus (COVID-19). Join in as Jayde discussing the scary truth of mass incarceration during these times, sacrifices people are making to ensure that this country survives, how pandemics affect the poor, and how the Constitution doesn't care about your pandemic...because JAYDE IS STILL GOING TO WORK EVERYDAY!

Jayde & Alex are back at it again this week! Two partners from different parental backgrounds sharing their thoughts, jokes, and random outbursts of song about custody, time sharing, child support, divorce, and all the randomness in between. I mean, we are 30. Everybody talking about marriage, but what about divorce? GRAB YOUR DRINK AND LET'S GO, LIL BABIES!

Are you one of those people who can remember something that you did when you were TWO?!? Not, Jayde. But, if you ask her to hit you with a song for almost every word of her sentences...SHE GOT YOU! In this episode, Jayde is talking trash and the real about how brains work and what if we could control what we are able to remember? She also reveals another fear of hers. SHE'S BACK AFTER A TWO WEEK BREAK, SO GRAB YOUR DRINK AND LET'S GO, LIL BABIES!

If you haven't listened to the song "Love Ballad" by L.T.D., you should! Why? Because that's Jayde and Alex's song! In this week's episode, Jayde has her very first guest and that special guest is none other than her boyfriend, Alex. And in all February fashion, Jayde & Alex are serving you up a big plate of black love right before Valentine's Day. Join them as they discuss whether Valentine's Day is a Hallmark Holiday, if men expect gifts, if "Manentine's Day" is actually a thing, and if any couple who claims that "everyday is Valentine's Day" is full of it or not! THIS IS AN EPISODE THAT YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO LISTEN TO! Grab your drink and let's go, lil babies!

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH! In this episode, Jayde discusses being Black in America & asking any and everyone to save their complaints about all of the extra blackness that is going to be served up hot and steamy on a platter this month. Seriously, it is just one month - the month with the least amount of days at that. Jayde is asking for everyone to learn to appreciate, love, support, and encourage those who have been oppressed, those who used to be considered a fraction of a person, and those who struggled to learn that they are enough just the way they are - due to slavery, as well as systemic and institutionalized racism. Unpack the invisible knapsack of White Privilege and don't shed any white tears this Black History Month! Let's talk about it.

There is a phobia for everything, but Jayde only has one - THANATOPHOBIA - the fear of death and dying. But, why? FOMO? Those we leave behind? How the death will affect others?
