All Hail BET!!!
Hey hey, Good People!
As Shells is getting ready for a family 4th of July celebration at the house, Irene is getting ready to jet set to the West Coast for new adventures, good friends, and sneaker fun!
Around the water cooler, we discuss #Brexit, #BlackGirlMagic on Big Brother 16, some of the results from the Olympic trials, Kanye’s newest chapter of crazy, the airport attack in Turkey, and a few national day ofs to keep you busy for the next few days.
When it comes to being uncomforable, would you rather be itchy or sticky?!? (We know… This question is the worst! Haha!) @FsgPodcast #FSGWYR
Then we get into it … Our thoughts and feelings about the 2016 BET Awards!! There were SO many highlights from the night… Kudos to BET for doing it right on so many levels!
Finally, We wrap up the show with another up and coming artist in Irene’s Beats. Just remember, you heard it here first! And Shells shares an excerpt from one of her favorite books, “The Four Agreements”.
That’s all for now! Y’all have an amazing and safe Fourth of July weekend and we’ll meet you back here soon!

Hey Good People! We hope you had a good week and are so glad that you’re back to hang with your girls!
The Big Magical Box
We’re back at it!
- A couple of our favorite shows are returning soon, Orange in the New Black (Netflix – June 17th) and Big Brother (CBS – June 22nd) We’ll be talking about them all summer long!
- The United States of Women event looked like it was just as amazing as we thought it would be! Shout out to everyone behind making this important event happen, including our very own Brandi Sally!
- The Tony Awards were covered in diversity this year and we LOVE it! Shout out to Hamilton with 11 wins, and the top 4 honors of the night going to people of color — the first time in Tony History!
- We acknowledge the passing of Kimbo Slice who remained diligent and built his image, brand, and relevance despite many hardships and set backs.
- And then Irene shares her Beyonce Formation experience. As a true fan of music, musicians, and performers….and a devoted member of the BeyHive…this recount is one worth hearing!
Bobby, Sex, & Ghosts
Hey Good People!
We’re back at it! This week, Shells learned that she is experiencing mild mommy anxiety as Cole grows up and has new experiences…and Irene is in the final countdown to her personal Formation experience.
Since our scheduling has been a little off, we’re getting right into all of the things we haven’t had a chance to talk about it:
- Ellen has found herself is little trouble thanks to a segment we like to call “When Jokes Go Bad.”
- The glaring and disgusting disparity in the justice system has been highlighted by the recent sentencing of a California rapist who happened to be a Stanford student and scholarship athlete.
- Summer music festivals are kicking off and the NBA finals might be LIT!
- Politically, it’s officially Hillary and Trump. #welp
- In TV, we discuss Roots and whether it’s helpful or hurtful to have these slave narratives told so often…and the highs, lows, and “huh?’s” from the Bobby Brown interview
- We acknowledge the passing, life and legacy of the G.O.A.T: Muhammed Ali
- Since we missed it, we have to mention the Three Year Old in Harambe’s cage. SMH
This week, Would You Rather have your mind function as an iPod so you could play any music just by thinking about it or be able to play your dreams on the TV? #FSGWYR
As we wrap this show up, Irene is excited that June is Black Music Month! This week, new comer, Yuna is in her Beats! Finally, eye spy inspiration is compliments of Muhammed Ali! He was filled with integrity, determination, and perseverance and he was masterful with his one-liners. May he rest in peace and continue to inspire us all.
We’ll see ya next time! Until, then, continue to listen – laugh – share!
