Crayon.vs.Culture

S2EP31:#LoveoftheValley

What a title, right? Thought about naming this week's episode: #OdetoStripClubs, especially since we are based in Atlanta aka Strip Club capital but, decided to be PC. Looking at the title, we are definitely discussing the new TV show, PValley and the overall culture surrounding the strip club industry. We are not experts but, we know some things. #IYKYK Featuring: @patchwork85,@slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

S2E30:#HalfandHalf

So yeah, we were pretty talkative on this week's episode but, for valid reasons. There seems to be an endless debate on social media when it comes to dating, ranging from finances to mamas sitting in the front seat. We went there and a few other places. LOL.Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

S2E29:#ButWhy

Warning: This is a long one! So, we had fun doing hot topics the last time and did it again. This week's we tackle: kids going back to school in the middle of the pandemic and TI being surprised that he's about to be a grandad. Listen to our take on both topics and provide us with feedback. Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

S2E28:#WildnOut

This week, we tackle Nick Cannon's comments and the notion that he should be canceled. As black folks, we often encourage the cancel culture but, what about giving grace in our race like other races do? This was definitely an interesting conversation. Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

S2E27:#WhatAWeek

The last week or so has been crazy! From personal, to politics to celebrities, it appears that folks are truly reaching a breaking point with as much we discussed. This week's episode is differently a different formula than what we normally do, you get to hear us tackle a little bit of everything. Let us know your thoughts! Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

 

 

S2E26:#Entanglement

While we were away, we kept getting requests for us to discuss The Smiths and August Alsina situation. Well, you asked, so here we are! Join us for an eclectic, colorful conversation and our take on a situation that could easily happen to any of us. Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha 2.

S2E25:#YouGonnaLoseYourJob

For today's episode, the cast discusses our experiences before and since the killing of George Floyd. Specifically, the different encounters with white individuals that tend to lean on their privilege in a way that intimidates or invalidates those rights of black or brown people. Despite video evidence of such behavior, every day we are witnessing privileged individuals lose their livelihood due to outright racism. Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

S2E24:#ReadyorNah

As of today, a majority of the US are seeing a surge in the Coronavirus; therefore, leading to the question: Were we ready to reopen? Capitalism plays a main reason as to why we are in this position but, at whose expense? In addition, the cast takes on the major sports continuing their season (NBA) or attempting to start their season (NWSL, MBL and NFL). Y'all think we are ready or nah? Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

S2EP23:#Conditioned

As the U.S. is still in turmoil with the killing of black individuals and the blatant display of racism that we are still encountering by white individuals, the cast discusses: if racism is a condition, is it learned behavior or are people who do not look like us really living in this idyllic bubble where they cannot fathom or empathize with our plight? Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and @ace_alpha2.

S2E22: #DefundorNah

This episode was recorded on 12 Jun 2020 @ approximately 8:30 pm without us knowing that another tragedy involving the police was going to occur in our city that night. Listen to the castmates go back and forth about defunding the police and the possibility of reformation. Featuring: @patchwork85, @slywayphee_ and ace_alpha2.
