What is it good for?

Don't do it

Vacation Regrets, Messy Therapy, Startup Reality Checks & Trump’s $1.8B Fund — Two Cents, No Change The hosts return from a hiatus, urge viewers to like/subscribe, and open with “Collection Plate,” sharing lessons from paying for a Mother’s Day Hawaii trip for their mom and aunts who barely did activities or went to the beach, concluding people can seem unimpressed when they didn’t pay. They discuss restarting therapy and describe two failed counselors—one disorganized and another overly self-focused—while noting the difficulty of finding a Black gay therapist; one host praises his current therapist. They then talk startups and funding, arguing investors fund familiar Ivy-League circles, not outsiders. In “Nickel Slick,” they criticize a reported DOJ plan tied to a Trump/IRS settlement to compensate January 6 allies and mention a tax-audit exemption addendum. They rant about tech surveillance, internet addiction, voter apathy, barbershop misinformation, and an Oprah/AI clip they find vague. Closing “Two Cents” targets dating-show “top/bottom” discourse and concludes the country feels “cooked” after seeing unregistered or evasive young voters. 00:00 S2–EP7 Don't do it 03:12 Collection Plate 11:57 Raggedy ass counselors 21:05 The good Ole startups 25:18 Squeezing the data right out 28:17 Nickel Slick 01:01:47 Reading Them Hoes 01:09:21 Bo Bo the Fool Barber 01:18:01 AI and the new way of life and work 01:29:56 Our 2 Cents

Don't do what you don't know.

Burnout, Family Entitlement, Career Pivots, Porch Pirates & a Rant on ‘Slanted’ Mr. All Alladat Shyt and Mr. Fernando vent about being overworked from 6 AM to 6 PM, juggling exhausting corporate reporting and “creative on demand,” and discuss grabbing opportunities while they come. They shift to family dynamics, with one describing a cousin who recently started calling despite having little in common and seeming to feel entitled because of past help from his parents, leading to talk about therapy, emotional avoidance, and health in their community. A meme—“What isn’t meant for you will disappoint you in a thousand ways until you learn the lesson and leave”—sparks reflection on pivoting careers, evolving creatively, and knowing when to walk away. They also complain about a stolen dresser delivery and unhelpful retailer/shipping responses, then review and criticize the film “Slanted” for its transracial-to-white premise and disrespect toward the main character’s family and friends. 00:00 S2-EP4 Don't do what you don't know 05:51 Collection Plate 10:52 Why yo cousin be callin you? 21:12 Career chapter changes 26:19 Porch Pirates 29:38 Slanted 40:23 Nickel Slick 40:49 Gay Archetypes 54:03 How did the troops vote? 01:06:43 Christ come get your child 01:13:26 Castro Supreme 01:20:39 Our 2 Cents 01:20:57 Why some YT man thought this was a we converation 01:25:43 Why you gotta fight someone to be wrong?

Jack'd A Poem

Ex’s Ex Houseguest, Job Hunt Burnout, and “Jacked: A Poem” | Nickel Slick + Jukebox Money We banter and ask viewers to like, share, and subscribe, then recap a chaotic week where Mr. Fernando hosts his ex’s ex—a Black professional dancer—for four days, describing nonstop conversation, no hookup, and unexpected perks like groceries and weed. They discuss learning new insight about why Fernando’s ex ended things, framing it around intimidation and competing “dominant” personalities, and broaden into dating frustrations and sexual stereotypes. The conversation shifts to long-term unemployment in the creative/tech space, skepticism about resume feedback, perceived hiring bias, and recruiters as gatekeepers, plus concerns about AI replacing jobs and talk of UBI. They touch on Trump-era commentary, TSA/ICE remarks, and Steve Bessent, then review SheaMoisture black soap shower gel and a United Airlines destroyed-baggage claim payout. Segments include “Jacked: A Poem” about a hostile app chat, a viral gymnastics floor routine, Cardi B tour chatter, jukebox music picks, and “2 cents” on youth lowering ambitions. 00:00 S2 - EP5 Jack'd: A POEM 02:47 Collection Plate 03:25 Hosting your ex's ex 19:34 Transitioning out of creative design industry 37:24 Iran like black folk 41:36 Black Moisture Soap? 43:08 Why you lost your bag? 43:10 What happened to your bag? 50:20 Nickel Slick 52:59 ICE Messing with Vacation Season 53:29 Faded Black People 56:24 Where Yall going? 57:11 Scott Bassett arrogant ass 01:12:45 Jack'ed A POEM 01:24:39 Get it on the floor routine 01:31:06 Jukebox Money 01:31:35 Earth Sign Chels 01:32:16 Cain Culto ft.
