Lots to discuss in this episode including a PSA for the youngins about getting older, several Black history facts including Eartha Kitt and Dr. Huey P. Newton, Sheboygan scooters are coming, and the added benefit of wearing masks everywhere. Whilst this episode may come off as a little blue, or green, the Word Watch is “fart.” Read about its fun history here. Also, Sterling gets his ears flushed and Kortney prepares for cicadas invasion.

Stephanie Williams (@steph_i_will) is back to reclaim visiting the pod the most, as Sterling and Kortney enlighten her on Cinnamon Toast Shrimp. The BHF goes to space when NASA honors Octavia E. Butler with a spot on Mars. (See full story here) Sterling shares a new (old) meaning to the word “twig” and later shares an update from Berto right out of the Spookums Zone. Popeye’s chicken nuggets return (in select states) and Ben & Jerry has a new ice cream flavor that remains elusive to Sterling. Question of the day: how do you reheat YOUR pizza?

Sterling is excited about the new Godzilla vs Kong film coming to theaters (and HBO Max) soon. Later, Sterling introduces Kortney to mukbang, does a quick assessment and review of the Grammys wins and Oscar nominations, and determines if he wronged a painter at work. In the Spookums Zone, Sterling shares Berto’s story of an auntie ghost living in his house. The Word Watch is forsooth and the BHF is FINALLY Senator Raphael Warnock. Meanwhile, scientists want to send seed and sperm into SPACE!

Neysha stops by to chat it up with Sterling and Kortney, unknowingly about cereal and the order in which it is to be poured, as well as demonstrating today’s Word Watch: chinwag. Lots to discuss in BHF coming off of BHM, but more on that later. Also, a Space update!

Sterling may or may not be feeling truculent in this episode whilst Kortney may or may not be feeling excited about the arrival of the Black Widow film. The almost BHF examines the many portrayals of Malcolm X but the actual BHF is Beyonce’s epic release of her self-titled album. A brief history of watching bootlegs, James Spader vs Billy Bob Thornton and other things that have scarred us over the years. And another brief update on our favorite space anomaly Oumuamua.

In the long-awaited part 2 of the return of the hiatus, Sterling and Kortney answer “Best 3 of…” questions, including best emotional scenes in movies, food, trailers, and more. Later, they give honor to Eugene Goodman for Black History Fact.

Welcome back! Is this season 2 now? Sterling and Kortney return from hiatus but there’s not enough time to talk about all the things that happened in the last few months or years since the last episode. Some of those things they don’t have enough time to talk about include HBO Max, Disney+, Heaven’s Gate, Tenet, Letter Kenny, and more. Sterling talks about the harrowing adventures he’s had with his apartment so far and why he’s boycotting Door Dash.

Sterling invites Vilissa, Janelle, Neysha, and Nick to join him and Kortney for a special live episode discussing the regular nonsense such as appearing (and later disappearing) mirror monoliths in the desert. Sterling also asks a series of questions which yields a favorite response of “cotton balls of sheep.” 

This is also the last episode of 2020, which wasn’t known at the time of initial recording, but does include an excerpt from a Patreon only episode. To see the live episode video feed, check it out on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/44512710
