The Jig Is Up

Well, another episode for the books in 2021.  We're trying to be a bit more consistent with the content.  So thank you guys (especially The Squadron) for being very patient with us.   In this episode, we get into it with the whole Derrick Jaxn scandal (if you call it that).  This particular topic has too many layers to it because we're talking about if cheating is a rich man's game.  How susceptible vulnerable women are when it comes to hearing what sounds good to them instead of the truth.  We don't wanna spoil anything anymore on the show notes.  So just get ready for a real discussion with some humor of course.  Enjoy!

Sorry for the delay on this one, but it's worth the wait.  In this episode, we go share our perspectives on some dated topics such as the hidden meaning of Mya marrying herself (6:00) and the trajectory of women being "self-partnered".  We delved deep into how this trend is going to affect dating for the years to come.

The Nessa Service Announcement goes in on differentiating being nice/a gentleman from being a simp (1:29:15). Then closed the show off with the final Black History Month shout outs (2:40:00).

It was bittersweet for the crew to do this episode because we wanted to celebrate a milestone of our fourth anniversary (6:48) of the show, but it's been clouded by the untimely passing of the legendary former Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant. We took the time to share our thoughts and feelings about Kobe (10:04).   In the Nothing Is Safe segment, Marco brings up about the coronavirus making its way to San Diego (1:11:02).  K-Mart shares a story about a doubled down discrimination doubled his dollar (1:21:30).  Nessa speaks of going 50/50 (1:26:24) in relationships and toxicity (1:49:35).

Another entertaining and game giving session on the books.  In the Nothing Is Safe segment Marco explains how dangerous simps are, and warn women to be careful about how they play with them. In the Nessa Service Announcement, we discuss informing our significant others when we're going to change our hairstyle.  Is it the right thing to do? Or, should it even matter? It's been a while since we had our geek talk, and where do movies and television shows go from share cinematic universes. And let's not forget about sports, the crew share their picks for the Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.  There's something for everyone.  Tune in and enjoy the show!   Follow us on - and DM us to join The Squadron Group Chat Follow us on Like us on

This one of those rare K-Mart sightings that we had in this episode.  We started the episode off with NFL wide receiver Tyler Lockett revealing that he's a virgin at age 27. So we were compelled to discuss the nuances of keeping and losing your virginity at a certain age.  Unfortunately, we had to address the untimely death of Atatiana Jefferson's passing in Fort Worth, Texas. In the NSA, the talk of the town was the disagreement between Kim and Kanye.  Who are you siding with on the issue?  And close things out we had to bring up LeBron's comments in regards to a tweet that's pro Hong Kong.     

Tonight, my boy Zeyy came by to bless us with his presence and share his story on the grind of working out with the NFL, the CFL (Canadian Football League), and practicing overseas to currently being a football player in the IFL (Indoor Football League). He also let us know what types of upcoming projects he's working on. But, not before sharing his thoughts on whether he believes in soul ties (or not) and the infamous cuffin season. Is he participating this year? Ladies, there's only one way to find out. Tune in!!!

This episode has some layers to it.  Not to write a think piece on your blog, but enough for thought-provoking conversations.  We kicked off with the do's and don'ts of cuffing season to warm things up.  Then things took a serious turn in the Nothing Is Safe segment with the Amber Guyer trial being the topic.  The mood lightens up during the NSA when we discuss soul ties.  The crew shares their respective interpretations and discovering a new train of thought when it comes to getting to know a potential partner's past. In closing, Nessa gives Tyler Perry his flowers for building his studio in Atlanta.  Marco and Mark share their thoughts on Todd Phillip's Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix.   The breakdown: (0:53) Track of the week: - (5:02) Announcements  (10:31) Do's & Don'ts of Cuffing Season (22:28) Nothing Is Safe - The Amber Guyger Trail (39:10) NSA - Soul Ties  

This episode was semi-organized, but still entertaining nonetheless. The crew started with a brainstorm if they can imagine the perfect listener of the show.  In the Nothing Is Safe segment, Marco kicks off with talking about the "The Code" and which gender upholds the code better, the answer may (or may not) shock you.  Nessa asked the crew if it's necessary to tell your partner your sexual orientation upfront for her NSA segment.  It wouldn't be complete with some of our crazy tangents. Now all you have to do is tune in and enjoy.

In tonight's episode, I had my friend, Ernest, come on the show to talk about his past being a former promoter and how it played a huge part in his weight gain. After experiencing a near death experience, he talked about the importance of self actualization and leading to a healthier path. Enjoy!!!

If you listen to us because we get in our dating, sex, and relationship bag, well this is the episode for you!  Marco starts off asking the crew what's a worse scenario for a man, paternity fraud or false rape accusations. Then he brought up the unfortunate passing of a man who drowned in an attempt to propose to his girlfriend.  While they were on the topic of wedding proposals we Marco asked what if your significant other says no, what would be the next step.  Things got spicy in the Nessa's NSA segment about Eskimo brothers and sisters, or Pogo sisters if you will.  It's definitely another entertaining episode.  Tune in and enjoy!
