Can Black Women Really Afford a Soft Girl Era?

⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode was previously recorded, so a few hot topics may now be lukewarm tea — but hey, who doesn’t love a little time travel with drama? Relive the past, enjoy the ride, and hush. . . . This week, the girls are outside and deeply in their feelings! Tamika debuts a bold new hair color while balancing 8 auditions and celebrating her new appearance on Dhar Mann — YASSS! Meanwhile, we unpack the internet’s obsession with the “soft girl era” and ask the real question: do Black women truly get the luxury of softness in today’s world? Plus, Drake somehow dropped THREE albums in one day, Jojo spirals into fruit drama TikTok and Tamika can’t stop talking about The Secret Universe of Maggie Grey. We also get into Issa Rae’s new Screen Time vertical series, the art of multitasking, and why parents with young kids absolutely will NOT survive the zombie apocalypse. Oh — and Jojo’s book club is knee-deep in Kennedy Ryan’s Reel and things are getting JUICY. . . . 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

Should Hollywood Bring Back Quibi for the Vertical Era?

This week, chaos and creativity collide as Tamika debates reclaiming the wig she literally just gave away a few episodes ago, while Jojo casually needs half a million dollars to fund an indie project—investors, where y’all at? We dive into how art imitates reality through The Studio, question whether Tamika’s directorial debut should be a traditional web series or a vertical short dramedy, and once again demand the return of Quibi because maybe they were just ahead of their time. We also shout out creator Zoe James and her free networking database connecting film creatives above and below the line, talk about turning house parties into side hustles, and unpack how Mother’s Day evolved into another commercialized holiday. Plus: why everyone growing up was suddenly in Tae Kwon Do or suspicious “modeling schools,” Tamika’s childhood photo memories with Ricky Racoon, why Once Upon A Time had elite storytelling, villain origin stories, the lack of manners in LA, and why leaning into your harmless intrusive thoughts might actually lead to your next creative breakthrough. . . . 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

Why Are TV Seasons Shorter?

This episode goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. We’re talking Chris Brown’s new album, exposing toxic traits, and sharing a hilarious story time about Tamika being wildly inappropriate in public. Then we dive into the entertainment world — from how the old “rules” of acting don’t land roles like they used to, to why today’s TV seasons are criminally short. Bring back the 25-episode era immediately. We also give flowers to From on MGM+ because that show deserves more hype, reminisce on the golden age of ABC Family shows, and somehow end up discussing the Harry Potter series, the patriarchy, and the shocking realization that Lemonheads and Red Hots are basically the same candy in different fonts. Oh — and if you’ve ever struggled with a button-down shirt because one button is fighting for its life, this episode is for you. Plus-size fashion deserves better. . . 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

Why Is Everyone Obsessed With Vertical Dramas?

This episode is PURE chaos in the best way possible 😂 We kick things off with the question everyone secretly wants answered: are Drake’s abs actually real?! From there, we dive into the unmatched adrenaline of live performances and celebrate Dragon Mama returning to the stage at the Geffen Playhouse with a part 2. We also take a nostalgic trip through iconic one-woman shows, messy high school drama, and the stories that still live rent-free in our heads. Then the conversation takes a serious turn as we discuss a few pending cases making headlines and why policies around child protection need to be much stricter. We also get into private schools vs. boarding schools, whether orphanages still exist today, and somehow end up asking the important questions: how do you become a nun… and do nuns get paid?! Of course, we had to sprinkle in the nonsense too — including a full debate on whether the word “titty” is technically plural 😭 Tamika delivers an extremely detailed Euphoria recap. Plus, we talk about the explosion of short vertical dramas taking over everybody’s phones, the Michael Jackson movie discourse, and why Jojo STILL hasn’t seen it. Oh! and don’t miss Jojo’s disgusting but hilarious storytime explaining why she no longer has an oven. Trust us, you’ll never look at kitchens the same again. We also show love to the listeners because the audience engagement lately has been AMAZING — keep the comments, messages, and hot takes coming! . . . 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . .

Did We Really Get Into Berghain?!

This week, the girls are back from Europe and have STORIES. From London adventures to Germany chaos, we’re recapping the trip that gave us amazing food, bold men, questionable decisions, and unforgettable memories. Tamika finally got her famous Jacket Potato (aka a stuffed baked potato with a British accent), Jojo instantly became an Aaron Pierre fan after seeing One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest in London, and somehow… yes… we actually got into Berghain. We’re also talking airplane food hacks, procedural audition anxiety, The Pitt being back, and why we’re somehow THREE seasons deep with no sponsors yet. Where y’all at?! Plus, we get into education, why “No Child Left Behind” may have left a few things behind, the importance of alone time while traveling with friends, and why people born after ‘96 might not know CPR. Oh! and shoutout to the London arcade bar NQ64, the German Spy Museum, hazelnut moonshine purchases made in under 30 seconds, Europe’s elite public transportation system, and Will Packer’s You, Me & Tuscany for being unexpectedly adorable. Grab your passport, your Oyster card, and maybe a jacket potato — this episode is all over the place in the best way. . . . New Episodes Every Friday @ 9AM PT!!

Are We Overthinking Fashion, Friendships, and Situationships?

This episode is all over the place—in the best way possible. From hyping up a bold kaftan moment to embracing every body type (yes, even the “no booty crew”), we kick things off with laughs and unfiltered realness. Tamika’s texting mishaps have us questioning trust in group chats, while Jojo’s missing package and mystery nail appointment add just the right amount of chaos. We get into travel rules (is silence on a plane really mandatory?), upcoming trip excitement, and the group chat “fit check” culture—helpful or doing too much? Along the way, we dive into pop culture moments that had us crying laughing, lightly step into deeper territory with religion, and debate whether words like “gaslighting” have lost all meaning. From fashion throwbacks (Adidas vs. K-Swiss, let’s be real) to adulting struggles, situationships, manifestation, and the importance of transparency, this episode blends humor, hot takes, and a little life reflection. It’s messy, it’s relatable, and it’s definitely a vibe. Get into it! ⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode was previously recorded, so a few hot topics may now be lukewarm tea — but hey, who doesn’t love a little time travel with drama?

Are Ponytails the Ultimate Cheat Code to Looking Snatched?

New ponytail… who this?! This week, we’re kicking things off with a glow-up that has everyone asking questions—because somebody finally pulled up to the pod looking like something 👀. From the undeniable power of a sleek ponytail (natural Botox, anyone?) to the ongoing debate about whether it’s time to retire lacefronts for the sake of our hairlines, we’re getting into beauty, honesty, and everything in between. We also take a real look at why the world might actually be better if people just told the truth—and why that’s harder than it sounds. Meanwhile, Jojo is back from Costa Rica bringing all the Pura Vida energy, we swap our latest airport horror stories, and yes… gas prices are still out here testing everyone’s patience. On a lighter note, we’re celebrating our growing subscriber family (we see you 💛), and diving into an unexpectedly deep convo about thick fabric scrunchies vs. bonnets—because the connection might not be as random as you think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

Are We Too Grown for the Club?

Tis the season of travel, but somehow we start with why Southwest’s new policies have us side-eyeing the entire boarding process. Speaking of things not arriving on time, we’re calling out Shein and their chaotic Speed X delivery situation—because how is a package “out for delivery” for a full week?! Jojo puts us on to a new hair care find, Braid Rev, designed to keep your scalp right while in protective styles—but we’ll circle back with a real review after a month of testing. We also give our very unserious (but very real) Oscars recap, plus Tamika takes us on a romcom spiral featuring Julia Roberts and a role she swears she was born to play… Crackhead #5. Don’t overthink it. Somewhere along the way, we unpack Jojo’s thoughts on Timothée Chalamet, campaign for more turkey burgers in fast food, and pour one out for iPic theaters apparently closing. Then we get into growth—why partying in our 20s hit different and how we’ve upgraded to networking at game nights, house functions, and chill vibes (with Jojo turning anything into a drinking game, of course). We wrap with early summer look planning, a big thank-you to our listeners for showing love and boosting engagement (tap in Sundays & Mondays to get featured!), and a final debate: should group chats have office hours? Because boundaries matter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

Is a raw hotdog actually bologna?

Spring is in the air, sneezes are flying, and the conversations are as wild as ever. This week we kick things off with a surprisingly fascinating medical moment—Tamika’s knee finally gets drained, and the doctor’s process sounds like something straight out of a science documentary. From there, the crew dives into everything from why we say “bra” instead of “brazier,” to whether exes can ever truly just be friends. We also get real about honesty vs. transparency in relationships—are they the same, or do people just use them interchangeably when it’s convenient? The conversation takes some unexpected turns: the crew reacts—very loudly—to the reality that some people are willingly in incestuous relationships (yes, we’re judging). Then it’s back to lighter chaos with the ongoing debate about what “plus size” even means anymore and whether beauty standards were just invented on the fly. In pop culture, we talk about the rise of 90s TV rewatch podcasts and why they’re pure genius for nostalgia—but does that actually mean the actors get residuals now that everything is streaming? Plus, Jojo might have actually thought before saying something reckless this time… growth! We also take a delicious detour after visiting All About The Cinnamon in Van Nuys, the new hip-hop inspired cinnamon roll spot that has us dreaming up our own custom flavors. That leads to Tamika’s latest business idea: a strip club that serves cinnamon rolls and chicken wings (sticky situation, literally). And just when you think we’re done—someone drops the claim that a raw hot dog is basically bologna. Yeah… it’s that kind of episode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

Melanated March: Who Told Y’all We Were Finished?

Black History Month may be over, but we’re just getting started, welcome to Melanated March! This week, Tamika gives us the real tea on working a 12-hour day on set and what life as a full-time actress might actually look like (spoiler: she’s exhausted but DOWN). Meanwhile, her knee is still holding a grudge, Jojo is proudly barefoot wherever she pleases, and we’re sending belated birthday love to Jojo’s fur baby. Tamika’s sister makes yet another iconic pop-in (at this point, just give her a mic), and we break down the latest drama between 50 Cent and the Harris Family. Award season talk? Of course. We recap the NAACP Image Awards and politely request our invite for the 58th. From cartoons and childhood conspiracies to reality TV hot takes — yes, we’re side-eyeing Love Is Blind heavy this season — and giving flowers to Ready to Love as the superior dating show (Jojo said what she said!). Tamika is finally starting The Pitt, travel season is loading, the flyaway bus prices are on a new type of time (and cash is canceled) and we close with a think piece you didn’t know you needed: bugs walk… they don’t crawl. Tap in, laugh with us, and don’t forget to join the Monday discussions, we LOVE hearing from you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .
