Continuing our conversation about reboots, we relive our glory days as we discuss: classic spinoffs that failed and became our favorites tv spinoffs vs. spinoffs in music and more! Also, the amount of THEME SONGS we sing in this episode, yall!

Hands up if you're sick of this lazy, repackage and reboot EVERYTHING culture we're living in. On today's episode, we share our thoughts on strides we've made with Blacks on TV which leads to a candid conversation on reboot culture.

Speaking of millennials having no time for hobbies, did y'all see Kevin Hart's documentary? That man be WORKIN workin, and we are amazed.

A tweet recently went viral asserting, "My generation [Millennials] lost hobbies. Every thing doesn't have to be a hustle, side hustle, or money making enterprise. Sometimes, it's just fun to do something... Let's rediscover hobbies in 2020" What yall think?

Limil and Levette try to convince Jameka to stop downplaying getting her doctorate, and she then explains why she HATES that she's even on this journey.

It's a new decade! Happy New Year! Today, we talk about about how 2019 catapulted growth and evolution for us all, and what we're working towards in 2020. FYI- Google "Enneagram" and thank us later. Levette is an enneagram type 9, Limil type 8, and Jameka type 3. 

It's the holiday time which means, for many, you're spending lots of time with family. If you're like us, family time ALWAYS reveals hidden secrets!

This Is Us plot lines center on evolving family dynamics, and in our families, there's no shortage of complexity.  Our next 3 episodes focus on family: The impact and strain from the past Evolution in the present, and The work needed for the future
