In this week's episode, Boonie is joined by the homie Shika! We do a sh*t that hits different episode featuring the classic Love Jones. We express our disappointment with the movie, discussing how it lacks the drama we were hoping for. We even mention the poetry snap era and how we're glad we didn't experience it. Later in the discussion, we explain the shift in our mindset towards relationships as we've grown older, becoming more cautious and less excited. We take responsibility for being comfortable in our own space and admitting that actively dating is not a priority. Despite not fitting the conventional mold, we maintain hope for the future but are not currently focused on dating.  A transcript of the full episode is available here.

In this week's episode, Boonie is joined by Brian Dwayne of BlkTouch.

In the final part of the conversation, Boonie and Brian discuss future projects, such as verbal dominance and further exploration of the glory hole concept. Boonie emphasizes the importance of execution and having an audience. They also address their focus on serving and resonating with the audience rather than chasing industry recognition.
