  • Juneteenth Special- Freedom Ain't Free So We Off Today - The HLS Podcast Ep 14
    Jun 19 2025

    So here’s the deal — we went out last night to celebrate Juneteenth like real ones, and... yeah, no episode from the crew today. But don’t worry, the show must go on. Filling in for us are two unlikely heroes: Brotha Knowledge (aka Brizzy B) and Sistah Soul (aka Ketty Wap) — two extremely Caucasian guests who stepped in last minute because, let’s be honest, all the real brothas and sistahs had the day off.

    We told them, “Do it for the culture.” They hit us with “Bet.”

    In this wild Juneteenth Special, they’re breaking down some of the most heated HLS debates, passing judgment on who was capping and who kept it solid. It’s chaotic. It’s heartfelt. It’s lowkey offensive. But it’s all love.

    Happy Juneteenth, y’all. We’ll be back next week… probably still hungover.

  • Yep, the One About Masculinity | The HLS Podcast Ep 13
    Jun 12 2025

    We had to do it. In this one, we finally pull the mic up to one of the loudest topics out there: masculinity. What is it? What ain’t it? Who taught us what we know — and what should we be teaching the next ones up? In this episode, we’re breaking it all the way down: the pressure to be perfect, to be emotionless, to hold it all in until you break. We get vulnerable about what we were taught, what we’ve unlearned, and what healthy masculinity can actually look like. What’s strength? What’s toxic? What’s real leadership? And is it okay to shed a tear along the way? We’re exploring all of it — the weight, the walls, the breakthroughs — with honesty and heart. Pull up.

    Jun 7 2025

    We finally pulled up on this one — how do you actually teach your kids (and yourself) how to move with real confidence? In this episode, we chop it up about raising kids who walk in any room like they belong there — and know when to let folks know they ain’t the one to play with. We talk role models (yes, GloRilla came up), building unshakable presence, and what that “F.A.A.F.O” energy really looks like when done right. Vulnerability, strength, balance — we’re diving into it all. Tune in and get your aura game up!

  • Is College Even Necessary? | The HLS Podcast Ep 11
    May 30 2025

    In this episode, we’re asking the question: do you really need college to make it? We dive into the pressure to get that degree, the rising cost of higher ed, and whether the so-called “college path” still guarantees success. From welders makin’ bank to folks drowning in student loan debt, we break down the pros, the cons, and the generational guilt trips. Is it still the golden ticket, or just an expensive detour? Tune in for real talk, sharp takes, and a few rants your student guidance counselor definitely wouldn’t co-sign.

  • Homage or Hustle? Cultural Appropriation & Sinners | The HLS Podcast Ep 10
    May 23 2025

    In this episode, we’re diving deep into the blurry line between appreciation and appropriation. After watching the movie Sinners, we had questions—big ones. Like, who gets to borrow from Black culture? Is it homage or just straight-up hustle? From K-pop idols rocking box braids to viral dances with no credit, we’re breaking down what cultural appropriation really is, whether it can be defined, and how it shows up in media, music, and fashion. We’re also asking the real question: when do we start snatching back invites to the cookout? Tune in for real talk, sharp takes, and a few revoked guest passes.

  • Causality, the Anti-Telephone Paradox, and Space, More Space | The HLS Podcast Episode 09
    May 15 2025

    Things get a little messy in this one, and we might’ve accidentally beat a dead horse...or two. Do trees fall in the woods if no one’s there to hear it? Yeah, but you can’t prove it – and how can we tell that something happening...happened. We’re diving deep into causality, the Anti-Telephone Paradox, and questioning the very nature of reality, all while floating in the endless void of space. Buckle up, it’s a cosmic mind trip and just remember, the gang gave Scrota permission. 😬

  • Keeping Relationships, Picking Fights, and Accidentally Dating Dudes | The HLS Podcast Episode 08
    May 8 2025

    Remember the foolishness of being all macho in the club, flexing over nothing? We don't. Boxing might look fun on TV, but trust, it’s a whole different vibe when you’re getting punched because you scuffed someone’s fresh shoes. From picking your battles in relationships or waking up and choosing violence, we're diving into the chaos of staying together, the drama of fighting, and yes – that time someone accidentally ended up dating a dude. It’s wild, it’s real, and we’re keeping it unapologetically us with laughs, lessons, and gaffes.
