It's a party weekend! Judson prepares for a friend's bachelor party in Chicago, and Brian prepares to celebrate his husband's birthday on the Saturday, and his younger daughter's on the Sunday. They attend screenings on consecutive nights of the new movie, Pillion, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, and compare notes with one another for the first time since. Together, Brian and Judson take a seat on The Big C*nty Couch with drag queen Gina Spears and her longtime friend Mike Fails. Our recent episode on Deshaming Sluttiness inspires a listener to submit a Hookup of the Week about his competition with a friend to see who can fill the pages of their little black books faster. Brian and Judson are then joined by star of stage and screen Jason Veasey, currently co-starring in the new comedy-drama, “Best Medicine,” on Fox and Hulu. Jason talks about the joy of being on the sets of both his current show and “Only Murders in the Building,” his desire to represent gay men our age on screen as sexual beings, and the need for more depictions of queer Black-on-Black love and sex in TV and film. He also gets personal and chats with Brian and Judson about sexual comfort levels, the value he places on sex in his relationship, being in a long-term relationship without living together, reclaiming his sexuality after his HIV diagnosis, sharing the news of his diagnosis with his family, and what it took for him to realize that he's versatile in bed. Jason then helps Brian and Judson address a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants to know how he should conduct himself around his grade school-age niblings when the MAGA members of his husband's extended family feel that kids shouldn't know that gay people exist.

Ever been relegated to the "backup overflow" room at church or wondered if a First Lady's outfit crossed the line? We're kicking off 2026 with a deep dive into social etiquette, viral ministry scandals, and the ultimate productivity hacks even in the bathtub.,,In this episode, the crew discusses the social cutoff for "Happy New Year" greetings and the mandatory timeline for taking down holiday decor., We get real about the irritation of mega-church logistics and analyze the heated debate surrounding Dr. Kari Turner Bryant's fundraiser dress, questioning if church leaders are held to a fair standard or if the public is simply "clutching pearls.",, The conversation shifts to the nuances of interracial dating stereotypes before ending on a high note with our 2026 goals: from 3D printing and photography to the "Jack of all trades" philosophy.Key Takeaways:- How your attitude in church can quietly rob you of peace, even when you “made it into the building.”- Why spiritual leaders and first ladies are held to different standards, especially when it comes to public image and fashion.- How responses from pastors to criticism can either build trust or push people further away from church and faith.- The messy double standards around Black men, “snow bunnies,” Black women's desirability, and interracial dating.- Practical and fun New Year hobby ideas from 3D printing and content creation to crocheting and dancing to grow, heal, and feel more confident in 2026.Chapters00:00 – New Year Vibes & Christmas Tree Cut‑Off Rules10:00 – Locked Out of Church: Overflow Room Irritation & Conviction28:00 – First Lady's Viral Dress: Modesty, Leadership & Public Perception50:00 – Snow Bunnies, Black Love & Dating Double Standards1:15:00 – New Year Hobbies, Side Hustles & Bubble Bath TherapyProduced by: Palm Wine Central ProductionsListen On: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube | Amazon MusicWatch more: https://www.youtube.com/@pwcpodcast

The mic opens on a check-in and turns into a masterclass on presence. Che' Afrique—singer, songwriter, and teacher—joins us to talk about becoming a better mother, paying attention to kids in a loud world, and why “being there” beats any illusion of balance. We dig into the moments parents miss, the power of boundaries, and how structure saves more futures than speeches ever will.From Boston classrooms to Chicago memories, Shea breaks down how education and edge shaped her voice. She takes us back to her first performances, the shaky hands that came with stage fright, and the mindset shift that turned critique into confidence. Then we get into the heart of craft: creativity, authorship, and the debate around ghostwriters. Che take is bold—give the pen its flowers, not just the face on the cover. Credit the creators, expand who gets seen, and let authenticity lead the sound.The standout story lands with “Not The One,” a heartbreak track born on New Year's Day, written through tears and recorded as a freestyle. That song became proof that vulnerability travels: men and women heard their own lives in it. We talk fame versus privacy, choosing fortune over endless cameras, and how artists can share truth without selling their peace. Along the way, we call out book bans, defend critical thinking, and map how to teach kids to question with respect. We close with property goals, an EP on deck, and a simple vow: keep pushing Black love—patient, purposeful, and present.Hit play, share with a friend, and tell us what you're working on internally.

He dives deep into Black love, Black accountability, and the uncomfortable conversations our community avoids.Topics include:Why we must keep the same energy for everyone when it comes to interracial datingVenus & Serena Williams, Black excellence, and cultural responsibilityThe myth that Black men devalue Black womenSocial media pressure on today's youthThe importance of history, lineage, and generational prideLessons from an alarming incident overseas that highlights privilege, infrastructure, and realityWhy healing, communication, and respect are non-negotiable for Black progressThis episode is raw, reflective, controversial, and rooted in love for the culture.Disagree if you want — just come with respect.

Black love was not lost by accident — it was systematically dismantled through European invasion, the erasure of Indigenous belief systems, and the imposition of Abrahamic religious ideology that reshaped identity, family structures, and relationships.In this episode of the Redeem or Destroy Podcast, we go deep on:• The original strength and purpose of Black love in pre-invasion societies• How religion became a psychological tool that taught self-hate, submission, and broken identity• The impact of Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome on modern Black relationships• How unhealed trauma became normalized as culture• What must be removed — and what must be rebuilt — for Black love to heal communities and strengthen nationsThis is not comfort.This is not opinion.This is FACTS OVER BELIEFS.

Send us a textThe loudest voices online say will have you believing real love and commitment don't exist. We're here to prove the opposite. Newlywed Nyla joins us to share how therapy gave her the tools to self-regulate, why deep conversation beat small talk every time, and how choosing for the future—not just the moment—changed everything. From vulnerability to values, her story offers a grounded, hopeful perspective on finding and building love that will last.We talk about safety as something you can feel: patience when you're tender, kindness when you're overwhelmed, and the quiet confidence of being fully yourself without performance. Nyla gets specific about ditching her “type,” writing a values-first list, and dating with honesty across multiple connections until real commitment was clear. We unpack red flags vs. fixable friction, agreements that keep conflict from turning into punishments, and the simple discipline of never weaponizing silence. It's practical, not preachy—communication, boundaries, and mutual respect.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a hopeful nudge, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—we read every word! Click play and join the conversation!

This week on Pour Minds, Lex P and Drea Nicole sit down with Serayah and Tyler Lepley for a conversation that’s equal parts entertaining, real, and inspiring. This highly anticipated conversation is all about their new movie, Ruth and Boaz. We’re talking love, balance, what it means to find your “Ruth” or your “Boaz,” and how faith can keep you grounded even when life gets tough. The ladies spice things up with a round of “Who’s most likely to?” Would Ruth block Boaz just to be petty or the other way around?

"I'm no Psychologist - there's some who will insist."This segment of PSYCHOTIC BUMP SCHOOL was taken from Episode #203 originally broadcasted on May 30, 2022.DR CANDACE ELAINE, Clinical Psychologist/Consultant/Wellness Coach in Southern California (left bottom) & DR CHASE MOORE, Educational Psychologist in Northern California (center bottom) are joined by Houston Psychiatrist DR ALLISON McDADE (right bottom) to conclude the discussion about the late KEVIN SAMUELS (March 13, 1969 – May 5, 2022).

What if the biggest relationship breakdown in your life became your greatest breakthrough? In this raw and revealing episode, certified Integrated Attachment Theory Coach Brian Power takes us on a journey through the invisible forces that shape our connections with others.Brian shares his personal story of relationship collapse—complete with a restraining order and temporary separation from his son—that ultimately transformed into healing and reconciliation. With remarkable vulnerability, he explains how childhood abandonment wounds from his father's absence created patterns that sabotaged his adult relationships until he finally confronted them.The conversation explores the four attachment styles (secure, anxious preoccupied, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant) and how they manifest in everyday relationship behaviors. From checking a partner's phone to appearing emotionally unavailable, these patterns signal deeper wounds begging for attention. The most powerful revelation? The qualities that trigger us most in our partners often mirror our own unhealed trauma.Through practical exercises and insights, Brian demonstrates how we can reprogram subconscious patterns within 21 days of consistent practice. He breaks down the six core elements needed for healing: addressing wounds, identifying needs, processing emotions, establishing boundaries, improving communication, and changing behaviors.Whether you're struggling in a current relationship, healing from a past one, or preparing for future connections, this episode offers both compassion and practical tools for transformation. The path forward isn't about finding perfect partners—it's about becoming more whole ourselves so we can create the deep, secure connections we all desire.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: The SHITTS Podcast.

The euro colonizers designs all the laws to neglect BLACK People from benefiting from the Land. The Black people are enslaved property on stolen land not able to benefit from the life they live! The payback for such atrocities can never be forgiven. Its the mind you must maintain against colonial genocide. This also happens with the endless rejection letters from art galleries etc. No respect to you! Sound Art? Black People Dont Benefit from Slavery!

What happens when life's setbacks become the catalyst for extraordinary success? Mr. Devour's story answers this question with raw authenticity and entrepreneurial fire.When a workplace injury left him unable to return to conventional employment, Devour faced a critical choice—give up or reinvent himself. With a wife and two children depending on him, he revived a dormant dream and launched Devour Collection, what he proudly calls "the only exotic streetwear brand in the world." Born and raised in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, Devour infused his South Side roots into a fashion philosophy that's caught the attention of filmmakers and tastemakers alike."I gave myself a 10-year deadline," Devala reveals, "and honestly, I make five years in October and I've done a lot more stuff than I thought I would have done." That "stuff" includes clothing features in multiple films alongside notable actors, expanding his brand into couture and intimate apparel divisions, and launching a music label under his Pretty Fly Corporation umbrella. But success hasn't come without profound personal challenges, including battling depression and childhood tragedy—Devour lost two brothers in a fire when he was young.Perhaps the most powerful takeaway from Devour's journey is his perspective on time versus money. "What can you do with money without time? Nothing," he states. "What can you do with time without money? A whole lot. I come from the bottom." This wisdom permeates his approach to business and life, creating generational wealth for his daughter (who has her own brand, Motivation) while relentlessly pursuing his vision despite naysayers.Visit DevourCollection.com and use promo code DEVOUR for 15% off, or catch the brand's upcoming fashion show in St. Louis on October 18th. As Devour would say, "Live freely in your lifestyle while devouring your prey. Whatever trials and tribulations you go through, step into that shit as the lion, and never the mouse."Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: The SHITTS Podcast.
