Let’s get August moving with your latest installment of the Best Friend Weekend Podcast!  Rumble Williams led things off by reminding us to watch how we talk to folks who prepare our food (01:00) which got us talking about the correct protocol in restaurants.  Next, Aldo & Los let us know What Burned Their Boudin this week including garbage flight attendants (08:00), 1.1 million dollars in homes sold (11:00), Finesse2Tymes’ chain (13:00), and some back-to-school related things (15:00).  After this, we tackled some of the bigger issues of the week including Monkeypox (22:00), Kevin Gates & women with acne (30:00), Deshaun Watson’s punishment (32:00), and Beyonce’s album (45:00).

Episode 32 - Silver Fox Thad O

With the NFL season kicking off, we decided to dedicate an episode to America's favorite and most controversial pastime, football.  The elephant in the room was should we be watching the NFL or boycotting in support of Colin Kaepernick (01:00).  After this short debate, we revisited Michael Bennett’s incident in Las Vegas (09:00), its fallout, and if the Bennett brothers or Meek Mill give more money to their mother (26:00).  We then did a word association game where we said which word comes to mind when we name various NFL players like Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Odell Beckham, etc (33:00).  The podcast ended with a discussion about DACA (58:00) and the unveiling of Aldo’s new podcast short, Nothing NICE To Say (1:08:00).

Boycott The NFL?

Hopefully we’ve given everyone enough time to watch Insecure: Season 2, but if not #SpoilerAlert.  CAP and Ashley came in to chop it up with Aldo NICE about all things going down in the first week of October.  We began by discussing Cam Newton’s dismissive comments to the female reporter (02:00) and Shannon Sharpe’s Black & Mild fetish (08:00) before jumping into the show review.  We chose to focus on our favorite parts of Insecure from the guy’s perspective: navigating the tough terrain of a new break-up (11:00), how to exist simultaneously in a white work environment and a black home environment (21:00), the concept of an open relationship (31:00), the Lawrence three-way (37:00), and who we are rooting for to “win” (43:00).  The second part of the podcast goes into some recent events such as the Amber Rose Slut Walk (51:00), the fourth week of NFL protests & boycotts (59:00) and the tragedy in Las Vegas (1:06:00).  Aldo wraps the pod up with Nothin’ NICE to Say about blackness (1:22:00).

American Insecurities

In EPISODE TEN we throw sunshine onto some of our inalienable rights with Madison Wisconsin criminal defense attorney Payal Khandhar; A British ex-pat shares a few of her Raps About Recovery in the Notebook; and our feature comes from a former Michigan high school science teacher who endured more that her share after addiction caught her off guard.

Season One

EP10 | USE & CONSEQUENCE

We tried a little something different this week… Recorded over two days, Aldo NICE caught up with Rog Smuve and C.A.P. to discuss the hot button topics of the last week of February.  We kicked the pod off by discussing different types of people at work (03:00) and the recent NCAA Basketball scandal (08:00) before getting into our big topics of the week: the reactions to the most recent school shooting (20:00) and whether or not teachers should have guns (27:00).  The NRA’s reaction to gun violence was kicked around (49:00) prior to readdressing Fake News (53:00), talking about James Harden’s latest antics (57:00) and revisiting Monique and ‘Daddy’s’ interview on the Breakfast Club (59:00).  Aldo brought the episode to a close with Nothin’ NICE to Say about the Walking Dead (1:07:00).
