by Tamika & Jojo

Society & Culture

Season 3

Do you use press-on toe nails?

Welcome back to another episode of Are We Canceled Yet—and this one is giving ASMR... kind of. 😂 Jojo proves that the show must go on by recording straight from her 9-to-5, making for a unique listening experience you won't forget. This week, Tamika shares some BIG personal news, and the ladies recap their Juneteenth celebrations while asking an important question: why is it so hard to find truly good, edible soul food in LA? They also dive into the importance of gatekeeping, why everything isn't meant for everybody, and how protecting certain spaces, experiences, and traditions can actually be a good thing. Plus, don't miss the announcement that Tamika's play is happening August 7th & 8th! Be sure to follow our socials for ticket information and updates. The conversation keeps rolling with thoughts on celebrity culture and why life felt a little better when we had less access to famous people. The hosts also discuss how something as simple as learning and using someone's name can make a lasting impact, celebrate life's unexpected pivots, and share some of their current book and old-school movie recommendations. Special shoutout to the official AWCY photographer, Benjamin Romero! Check out his amazing work on Instagram @benjaminnshoots Also on the agenda: press-on toenails becoming the latest trend, navigating change, and an unpopular opinion that might have you scratching your head—lice are basically fleas for humans. Tune in for laughs, life lessons, hot takes, and the usual AWCY chaos. 🎧✨ . . . 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . .

Why Do They Call Them Cold Sores?

This week, we're covering everything from the highs of chasing creative dreams to the lows of realizing adulting is, in fact, still ghetto. 🎭 Be sure to follow our socials because Tamika is officially in a play, and we'll be sharing all the details on how you can grab tickets and show your support! We also get into the mystery of why manicures seem to last five business days these days, women's health and the egg-counting conversation, and try to figure out which host showed up rocking a flower shirt. Plus, we're recapping all the latest Love Island drama, asking the important question: why do they call cold sores "cold" sores anyway, and checking in on JoJo, who's now on draft number four of her script. As if that wasn't enough, we're discussing the recent wave of trauma-bonding movies being marketed as romance, our thoughts on Scary Movie 6, the importance of networking across industries, and why working id for the poor. It's a little chaos, a little comedy, and a lot of real talk.

Are Binoculars Extinct?

Tamika is in an exceptionally good mood, Jojo is giving moody energy, and somehow that combination makes for one of our most chaotic episodes yet. We’re introducing a brand-new segment where we cold read scenes from popular movies and TV shows, and the results are exactly as unhinged as you’d expect. We discuss Tamika’s Wi-Fi acting up again (and her continued refusal to accept responsibility), get an update on the Share platform, and talk about our plans for BET Weekend because baby, we’re in the building! Tamika also delivers an elaborate Euphoria recap and breaks down just how much preparation goes into learning a script. Plus, Tamika recently had her tarot cards read and apparently the future is looking bright—even after getting fired from one of her 1,000 jobs. We chat about LA’s obsession with themed parties, the amazing response to our "Leave It After the Beep" segment, and why luxury toilets with heated seats might actually change your life. We also cover the horrors of having a period, put out a call for an intimacy coordinator to interview (seriously, hit us up!), revisit Scream Queens on Tubi, and debate an important modern mystery: are binoculars extinct? Leave it after the beep and let us know what you think! 🎙️☎️✨ . . . 🛒 FS Drinks - Café-quality bottled boba drinks 💰 Get 20% OFF | Promo Code: AWCYCREW https://fsdrinks.com/discount/AWCYCREW . . .

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 . . .
