The original Streams of Consciousness crew is back. Nelson, Eroc, and Jay Carter go full unfiltered—talking cremation schemes, nicknames in the black book, and how they'd like to be honored by old flings and frat boys alike. Then it's into politics: Trump's speedrun to dictatorship, DEI rollback, economic hypocrisy, and whether Candace Owens actually hates Black people or just Black culture. Also on deck: gimbal chickens, basket weaving degrees, redneck energy, Umar Johnson slander, and who's really to blame when democracy starts biting back. Petty, political, and pure chaos.

In this episode, Keyon Starr returns to the show to break down personal growth, spiritual shifts, and why the rollback of DEI is messing with everybody—from Black creatives to the LGBTQ+ community. We get into church hurt, gay pride in a post-DEI world, and when to leave the club (or church) because your ex showed up. From giving up drinking and getting baptized to losing friends along the way, Keyon gets candid about his journey.We also joke about breastfeeding glances, closet homies, gender identity politics, and being confident enough to wear a banana hammock (or not). Real convo, funny moments, and a reminder that you can be both saved and spicy.

Joined by Steven Joyner, the host dives into coded racism, comedy in slurs, and why moon cricket might be the most offensive and creative insult of all time. The two also talk about Black business support vs. Black pricing expectations—who actually pays full rate, and what it really means to be a Black-owned creator in a cheap-ass culture.Later, they get into podcast guest delusion, fantasy lifestyles, breast pump politics, free-the-titty contradictions, and the real reason people live online but fail in real life. It's a conversation on ego, image, and why everybody wants to be heard—but not everyone got something to say.

Joined by Lime Light Vibes performer and artist Bajsh, the two talk fake-deep artistry, easing people into faith, SoundCloud gems, and why open mics shouldn't be karaoke nights. They get into Kendrick vs. Drake, Kanye's genius, and why AI might kill the soul of music. Bajsh opens up about growing through trauma, learning to love himself, and why “Come Get Me” almost didn't drop.In the Patreon, they talk exes, villain arcs, spiritual baggage, and the vision behind Brave Angel. Real convo, real bars, and way too many mac and cheese metaphors.

Then, we dive into how the internet is in a weird place right now, from narratives being spun to clout chasing at an all-time high.  Next, we discuss Yella Beezy's shocking arrest for an alleged murder-for-hire plot—what's really going on? From there, we get into Toya Johnson speaking about Lil Wayne on a podcast—was it disrespectful to her husband, or just honest conversation?  Finally, we wrap things up with Bronny James—Veto has some strong words for last week's doubters.

In this sanitized episode of "Everyday Black Men," hosts Riker, Reed, The Black Libertarian, Stylish, Armstead, and Sham dive deeper into the lively discussions introduced in the patreon exclusive version of this episode called “Who really loves women the most?” The show opens with The Black Libertarian attempting to revoke Riker's “black card,” sparking a heated debate on how Europeans took resources from Africa but then became upset when Africans sought opportunities in Europe. Reed and Sham lightheartedly antagonize White Collar Suge, who warns them that they have only one more chance before he loses his patience. Eventually, White Collar Suge advises The Black Libertarian to settle down, jokingly reminding him that he has many more houses to build in order to please God. The podcast wraps up with a candid conversation about who genuinely loves women, modern coping mechanisms, and much more before concluding on a high note.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

Riker playfully questions whether he needs to hand Sham a Grammy just to end his Kendrick Lamar monologue, while Sham recalls the final year spent before cutting ties with Black Sapphire. Reed underscores that inflation isn't a new development, reminding everyone it's been creeping up since Trump's first term, and Stylish appears in the second half to weigh in on Social Security matters. The episode concludes with a pointed discussion on the evolving retelling of slavery in mainstream narratives and Sham's observation that nobody seems to talk about the LA terrorist attack anymore, prompting further reflection before the show wraps up.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

In this episode of "Everyday Black Men," the hosts pick up right where they left off from the Patreon exclusive "Turkey Burger Abeg, No Wahala!" Riker kicks off the podcast by introducing a story about a man who discovered a diary of venom in his girlfriend's apartment, sparking an intriguing conversation. Reed takes a more nuanced approach, reflecting on the universal feelings of betrayal and learning from Riker that he could have used a Google number for added protection. Sham then shares a clever cinderblock analogy to illustrate the complexities of sex with no climax, a situation many of us can relate to even if they don't want to call it out. Reed playfully inquires whether the Twerk Team still exists, a question that might have crossed our minds too. As the discussion flows, the group reminisces about the rap supergroup that never came to fruition and the three groups that did form instead, a journey we've all been on. The episode wraps up with a "to be continued" moment as Reed shares insights on old-school cars, Armstead delves into the world of hydraulics, and the camaraderie continues before the episode concludes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

In this episode of "Everyday Black Men," the hosts continue the conversation from "Niggas with Nappy Hair," diving into the dynamics of gender interactions. Reed kicks things off by advocating for men to stop engaging in back-and-forth arguments with women, prompting Riker to challenge him on the prevalence of women who gossip online, debating whether they represent the majority or just a vocal minority. The discussion shifts to accountability, as the fellas analyze how some women behave when they refuse to take responsibility for their actions. As the episode nears its conclusion, the Rider and Sham provide insight into the diverse languages spoken in Palestine, leading to Riker sharing the tragic yet poignant "hotdamnirock" story.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

We open the hour with talk of the Bill Belichick relationship with a 24 year old. He gave her a nice note with his autograph that now her friends have shared with TMZ. We discuss the notion that their meeting was innocent because young men think that older men talking to young women does not have a threatening aura. Are people obsessing a bit too much about this (this is me, your writer, asking this). Before C-Lo gets going with an update, a mention of Gisele Bundchen's partner morphs into discussing which male coworkers can be seen being sexual. Sports talk shows up and we have the Mets banging out 22 hits in their victory over the Rangers. They were just hitting their pitching hard. As for the Yanks, they open a series with the O's. Rizzo is out with a broken arm - 4 to 6 weeks. Yanks will bring up the hot Ben Rice and give him a shot at first base. Jomboy provides some lip-reading of a manager vs. umpire argument. Rory McIlroy posted his disappointment at losing and congratulated Bryson DeChambeau. He's taking a month off to get ready for the Scottish & British Opens. In our last hourly segment, Al says he would love to be a juror in retirement. Jerry suggests that Al should study up and be a judge.
