American Insecurities

Best Friend Weekend Podcast

Hopefully we’ve given everyone enough time to watch Insecure: Season 2, but if not #SpoilerAlert. CAP and Ashley came in to chop it up with Aldo NICE about all things going down in the first week of October. We began by discussing Cam Newton’s dismissive comments to the female reporter (02:00) and Shannon Sharpe’s Black & Mild fetish (08:00) before jumping into the show review. We chose to focus on our favorite parts of Insecure from the guy’s perspective: navigating the tough terrain of a new break-up (11:00), how to exist simultaneously in a white work environment and a black home environment (21:00), the concept of an open relationship (31:00), the Lawrence three-way (37:00), and who we are rooting for to “win” (43:00). The second part of the podcast goes into some recent events such as the Amber Rose Slut Walk (51:00), the fourth week of NFL protests & boycotts (59:00) and the tragedy in Las Vegas (1:06:00). Aldo wraps the pod up with Nothin’ NICE to Say about blackness (1:22:00).
