Red Rover Red Rover, Bring 'Yes, Girl' Right Over
This week, Josh and Tracy host a very special crossover episode. First, they talk all things Essence. From its legacy as a record of black existence to the recent round of layoffs, we're celebrating the work of black creatives, and pouring one out for the Yes, Girl pod. Then, they chop it up with Cori Murray and Charli Penn of 'Yes, Girl', talking music and the greatest ad libs of all time (and yes, they *do* sing K-Ci and Jojo).

In Case You Forgot, We Let Tyra Get Away With A LOT.
This week, Josh and Tracy revisit moments from one of the most influential supermodels of all time: Tyra Banks. She has modeled, smized, booty-tooched, acted, and created businesses and brands. But throughout her career, there have been some messy moments. And we’re not just talking about ANTM contestant Dani’s tooth gap (RIP).
We talk to Jay Manuel, former Creative Director for "America's Next Top Model," about Tyra’s legacy, the cost of being a trailblazer, and what it was like to be on set for that infamous blackface photo shoot.
Additional Material By: Citytv, Bankable Productions/Warner Bros., Unclear/Tyra Banks, CW/Warner Bros., and Entertainment Tonight/CBS.

That Time We Gave You Five
Back Issue
07/26/21 • 44 min
Now that the world is opening and closing...and opening, we’ve been thinking a lot about touch. This week, Tracy and Josh explore all the ways we greet each other – high fives! low fives! secret handshakes! – and what they say about us. They also get into a battle over whose hometown invented the high five. 🍿 And Barry White Jr. – no, not the crooner, but the teacher who went viral for memorizing individualized handshakes for 80+ students – joins us to help us understand the power a greeting can have.
