There’s comes a time in your life, where you’re out and about with your friends. And, you see a group of women that you want to engage with. The age-old question always arises “Who’s going to talk to them first?” Sounds like a job for the wingmen. Any group of men collective make wingmen and you must make sure everybody knows their role and how to …

Most people lose their virginity in their teen years. And it seems like losing your virginity (for guys specifically) is a right of passage. Something you must done young before you’re considered a man. My homie Brian looked that stereotype in the face and laughed. He is a 32-year-old virgin, who’s only real frame of reference for sex is porn. He’s…

Sleep apnea, insomnia, nigh terrors, sleep paralysis, and narcolepsy. These are common sleep disorders that many people have experienced. But if you haven’t experienced them, have you wondered what they’re like? I have my friend Brandon on the mic to talk with me as we both share our experiences with our host of sleep disorders. Fair warning, some …

Conspicuous consumption is the spending of money on and the acquiring of luxury goods and services to publicly display economic power. We’ve all done it at least once. You bought a thing just to show off to everyone that you have a thing. But what really is the purpose? Why does one need to flaunt their “wealth” and sometimes proving their lack the…

Most experts will tell you to be financially independent, you must have at least seven sources of income. I wholeheartedly believe at least one of those sources should be your own business. Your job has a glass ceiling on income, and you get taxed out the wazoo. Investments can average around 7% APR, and because of that they’re most helpful once yo…

@etonia_love is an ex cheater. Me being the faithful Black man that I am (Black men don’t cheat), was wondering why someone would cheat. What brings you to the point you want to cheat in your relationship? Why wouldn’t you just end it with that person and enjoy your side piece with no strings attached? It seems like such an easy question to answer,…

I feel like we don’t talk about sex enough. For some reason it’s just a taboo topic. I want to break that taboo. Let’s have an open and honest conversation about sex. There’s some talk about fellatio, cunnilingus, and analingus (it was an accident). Please remove all small children from the area though. #sex #eatingass #ass #cunnilingus #fellatio #…

Sometimes you have to ride solo dolo. Whether it’s because you don’t want to have people around or you just can’t find people to come along with you. Learning how to enjoy your solitude is a great way to grow. It’s honestly where most people can find themselves and truly figure out what it is that they enjoy in life. And who said solitude had to be…

It’s crazy how many stops and stares you get when your significant other isn’t the same race as you. Specifically, if you’re black and they’re white (or vice versa). I’ve wondered what’s like to have a white girlfriend and what that would entail in our daily life. However, since I don’t have a girlfriend, I figured I’d get a friend to tell me about…

And so will her favorite song. I’m not sure what it is about strip clubs. It could be the women, the alcohol, the food. Probably a combination of all three if we’re being honest. If you haven’t been to a strip club before this episode might make you go on an adventure. I have my LB, the tail of my line, Khalil on the mic to share some of his experi…

Politics are a hard subject for a lot of millennials to get it. With all the researching, and voting, and then more researching, and more voting. Let’s be honest, ain’t nobody got time for that. But honestly, we should spend time to go out and vote for candidate whether it’s at the local, state, or federal level. That’s how we get Kenny Johnsons in…

It’s no surprise that millennials prefer experiences over materials. And, the easiest thing that most people can experience is the world. However, traveling can come at a cost (i.e. a pretty penny) and sometimes traveling you must know more than just a language to get by. I brought my friend Quan onto the episode today to talk about some travel tip…

Stepping into the role of a father is hard. And things can further get complicated when you and the mother of your child don’t share the same views on a relationship. Now you’re parenting a child from separate homes, and even separate states in some cases. And that begs the question, how do I become a great father and stay away form the ain’t shit …

Having a kid is stressful. Being a millennial is stressful. Let’s combine the two. And you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into until you have a crying infant at 3AM that only wants to hear baby shark. Children can be the most stressing and rewarding thing you’ll do to yourself at the same time. But we also must ask the question, how does…

I thought about writing a book once when I was younger. But, younger me wasn’t serious. However, I do have someone who is serious about writing a book. So serious in fact that her book is already published. Meet Ms. Jasmine Rockemore, the author behind the future best-seller “Walking on Cold Water.” In this episode we talk some of the challenges of…

My Dad and I don’t have the best relationship. Before this year the last time I saw him face-to-face was my high school graduation in 2010. However, I’m trying to amend that relationship. I took a trip to see him and this episode is a recap of that trip. Special shout-out to my mom for being on the episode and helping me recap the emotional healing…

Would you rather spend a little more money to eat healthy or spend thousands on a doctor’s visit? I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious, but most people would rather take that convenience of fast food, over the prep time it takes to make your own healthy meals. And who can blame them, millennials have enough on there plate as it is …

You ever wondered what it was like for your teachers that were teaching your growing up? Or maybe what it’s like these days for the kids going through high school and maybe how their experience differs from yours? Well today all your questions will be answered (maybe). I have my good friend and educator (or teacher if you preferer) on the mic and s…

And let the church say Amen! One of the cornerstones of the black family is the black church. I brought a Mr. Kirk onto the podcast today to talk about Christianity and how it influences his life. We argue the difference between fact and faith, spirituality and religion, whether hell really exists and even going to church with a hangover. Nothing i…

Mental health is a very trick subject in the black home. You can say that a lot of black parents don’t feel like mental health issues exist in the children or other family members. Some think that people are outright just making it up. However, in many situations that is not the case. I have my homie Cameron Johnson (@illumidaji) on today to talk a…

I had some burning questions about white people, so who better to ask than my white friend. He also had some questions for me about some of things black people do. I’d like to think it was pretty productive conversation. #wps #friends #interracial #cjthe6ix #withthe6ix #6ixandfriends #podcast #millennials #black #blackboyjoy #blackgirlmagic…

Last episode of 2018, and we have my LB here to talk about taxes. He's on today to simplify taxes and let you know they're not as bad as people make them out to be. They're actually quite simple, and with the new taxes laws they become even simpler to do. You just have to know the right places to look. Lucky for you this podcast is a good place to …

Welcome to the nerd, or should I say blerd episode. The word blerd comes from the combination of black and nerd. Black nerds have always been peculiar to black people cause mostly in the early 2000s they were just seen as weird. Most had a high interest in video games and anime and people who weren't nerds couldn't seem to understand why. However, …

I now introduce you to my lesbian friend DaLila. Although, she doesn't really claim a sexuality; except for maybe pansexual. Any who, we are gathered here today to talk about the LGBT community. What's it like, what do the letters mean, and how many letters are missing. Also, big note, what's it like traveling as someone who isn't heterosexual. IG:…

I'm not trying to work for a corporation my whole life. I want to be able to live comfortably off the money I've earned and go to work when I feel like it. And if I don't like my coworkers I want the power to quit (yes I'm that petty). But things like that can only be achieved through financial independence. What's that you ask? Listen and find out…

An Asian friend of mine was wondering what's it like to be/growing up black in America. And I thought to myself that's a good question, but on the flip side what's it like for them in the same situation? It becomes an interesting conversation. There's a lot of similarities, but also an interesting number of things are different. Our cultures are di…

Have you ever stopped for a second to think that maybe that tiny device in your hand and all it's capabilities is actually make you worse off at social interactions? That's not where we started but that's where we ended. Does technology make us more lonely in this giant ball of living mass called Earth? Or does it actually bring us together? Or is …

Physical. Mental. Emotional. Spiritual. Social. These 5 areas are the basis of our overall health. Each one strengthens the other and being weak in one can have detrimental effects to your overall health. I'm joined by my fellow Alpha brethren @prophecydreamer to talk about what each of those means to us, and how we keep them strong. Pt. 1 our fouc…

I have a strong opinion that college isn't for everybody. Don't try to run up in this four year institution just to leave with $100K in debt, and end up at Autozone. You could've worked at Autozone without the debt. Any who, has anybody else also noticed how when you give a kid a participation award then get all self-righteous? Yeah those need to b…

Millennials have remixed the dating game. The days of old no longer apply to us, or do they? And now we just call them by a different name? Let's explore some of the things millennials do in the dating scene. Also the biggest point of contention, ghosting. And with everything else in life, add some ratchetness and it gets better.#cjthe6ix #6ixandfr…

Let's tackle the elephant in the room. Why don't we (as Black people) support other black businesses? What's stopping from exclusively shopping black? We brought this conversation to the mics. I want to know if your opinion agrees or disagrees with ours.#cjthe6ix #6ixandfriends #podcast #millennials #black #blackboyjoy #blackgirlmagic #business #bl…

It's so many random things we do as a society that if you think about don't quite make sense. My friend and myself just wanted to air those out. Maybe you agree with how you feel, maybe you don't. But somebody needs to address the issues #NoSalad#cjthe6ix #6ixandfriends #podcast #millennials #black #blackboyjoy #blackgirlmagic #society #socialnorms…

I strongly believe no matter where your life takes you in Corporate America, you will always run into the same type of people and the same type of bs. It's like it's always the same shit, but a different toilet. I don't mean for this to sound like I'm complaining or anything but a lot people caught up in trying to make a fortune by climbing the cor…

Whenever you hear the phrase "Man up," what does that make you think of? Sometimes it can be a call to tell you take care of your responsibilities, but more often than not I've heard it used a way to tell men/boys to suppress their emotions. Let's talk about toxic masculinity and what it really means to "man up."#cjthe6ix #6ixandfriends #podcast #m…

My definition of game and your definition of game might not be the same definition, but we all run game. And I know you thinking “I don’t play games” and I’d like to say most people don’t, but game is a part of life and we all have it to some extent. Some people are stuck in the pee-wee leagues while others are hall-of-famers. But let’s find out ho…
