Happy spring, Scorekeepers! This week, in honor of it finally being spring picnic season, we're gonna call this our "Picky Bits" episode. Since there's so much going on in the culture right now, we're just gonna cook for an hour and a half, jumping from topic to topic and hopefully, we'll hit on something that interests you! The MAGAfication of Black celebrities! Kanye! Drag Race! Traitors! Ciara Miller and Black representation on reality television! And so much more! Plus, since you deserve a sweet treat, we'll end with a little PBJ to keep you going til the end of the week. Let's do it to it, y'all!

Good day, Scorekeepers! It's time for another jam-packed episode of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE. This week, we're once again tackling the somewhat mystifying career of Mr. Tyler Perry. Recently Youtuber F.D. Signifier released a scathing 4-hour critique of Perry's oeuvre and we were sat for the whole thing. Highly recommend it! And with so much material to work with, naturally there were some things we agreed with, some we didn't, and some that just straight up confused us. Let's talk about it! Plus, some current events up top and, as always, a little PBJ at the end. Let's do it to it, y'all!

Dearly beloved Scorekeepers, we are gathered here today to join these two in a good ol' fashioned dragging. First up, we haven't had an episode since Mr. Chalamet said what he said about ballet and opera, and if you knwo us, then you know we have some opinions about that. (But those opinions just might surprise you!) And then we turn to Ms. Banks. We watched the new docu-series Reality Check: America's Next Top Model over on Netflix, and let's just say we weren't impressed. In fact, we found Tyra's performance and lack of accountability for the harms done to the ANTM contestants a little reminiscent of a certain Cheeto-in-Chief. Just sayin. But fear not, after all that reading, as always we'll end with a little Pure Black Joy. Let's do it to y'all!

Hola Scorekeepers! It's been a tough couple of weeks, huh? ICE is still in Minnesota. Trans folks in Kansas are under attack. World War 3's officially breaking out. And if that wasn't enough, Rocky was actually in Puerto Vallarta last weekend when the cartel violence broke out and had to take shelter while cars and buses and things exploded around him. Let's talk about it. Plus, a little Traitors, a little Drag Race and a little Pure Black Joy!

Oh, and it's our 5th anniversary! Can you believe it? Happy birthday us! And thank you all so much for sticking around and supporting us. We love you!

Oh, hello Scorekeepers! We're back! Apologies our little hiatus went longer than we planned. As many of you know, we started this show in the Twin Cities back in 2021. Paige and Rocky are both still based there and, to say the absolute least, it's been a lot. Let's talk about it.

We love you, Minnesota. Fuck ICE.

Happy holidays, Scorekeepers! 2025 was quite the rollercoaster, wasn't it? It had some high highs and some very low lows, so for this episode we're taking a look back and taking stock of the year that was. First, we'll chat about the news and events that affected us individually and collectively. Then, we'll take a look at the culture that shaped 2025, both the stuff we loved and the stuff we didn't love quite as much. (And, yes, that means, another conversation about Sinners! We can't get enough!). Plus, our last PBJ for the year! Let's do it to it!

Also, after this, we're going to be taking a little break to rest and get all refreshed and rejuvenated for the new year. We hope you have a wonderful holiday season and we can't wait to talk to you again this January! xo

On this edition, we're recapping episode 2 of our new fave, Carnival Catwalk. "Pan Melody Couture," finds the designers teaming up to create fashions inspired by the steel pan. Join us as we dissect every bead and bauble and take the mansplaining bullies down a peg. Then, as always, we end with a supersized edition of Pure Black Joy. Let's do it to it!

Oh my goodness, Scorekeepers! We're back with another episode of your favorite podcast, THE SCORE! This week, we chat through some of the big news items of the past few weeks. First, we get grossed out by the Epstein emails, but then we cleanse our palates with a little update on House of Masks. Lee then gives us some hope about this year's Grammy nominations, followed, of course, by a little Sinners-flavored Pure Black Joy! Let's do it to it, y'all!
