Greetings Bougie Posse! On the heals up new years celebrations (Happy New Years to our listeners btw) we're discussing the latest trending topic involving a young pregnant teenager who was recently compelled to apologize to her church congregation for becoming pregnant. The crew discusses our thoughts on the situation, and the blowback/aftermath that has occured to the pastor of this church for his words after the teenager shared. The whole thing is going viral because many church services live stream. Is teen pregnancy still a relevant issue in 2025? What is the young girl's mother's role in this and does she have a responsibility or take ownership of what happened? Is what this church/pastor did appropriate or are there other ways of handling the situation? Grab your communion juice and crackers, and get ready to enjoy this super-sized episode.

Episode 119: The Games People Play 1:04:43

för 25 weeks sedan1:04:43

1:04:43

Bougie crew step into the bougie den as “we listen, but we don’t judge” and we talk about “the suspects.” These games came about on social media, specifically on Instagram and some of them have been the most hilarious others have been the most embarrassing. Nevertheless, what a time we had trying to come up with schemes, and not judging the fact that you have divulged your interpersonal thoughts is almost the perfect recipe to be judged. We expect you to get your laugh on, take a sip, sit back and think about something that you’ve heard from your loved ones, your family members, your spouse, your boo, your parents — think about something they’ve done and you listened, but you didn’t judge. No worries, some people think that you shouldn’t release your interpersonal thoughts and that’s OK because in the words, the Lovely Mrs. Tabitha Brown, that’s your business. 😉 Then later, based on whatever information they divulged to you can implicate the suspect in the crime! Grab your Henny, because we have plenty! 🥃 -B, The Rich Uncle…

Whats Up Bougie Babes and Gents?!? This week we're talkin' bout the law! All things sensationalized in the media regarding the justice system that is; whether it be our president elect's recent cabinet picks, or the recent pop culture fascination with Gypsy Rose and the Menendez Brothers. We also give more input on whole Diddy situation, and even refer to some the most sensationalized court cases we remember from our childhood, like OJ Simpson. Is there priviledge with a certain sector of folk when it comes to getting justice? Why is there such a lengthy process to litigation in our court system? And why do some bounce back from jail stints (i.e. Martha Stewart) while others struggle to make it? Grab your drink of choice and some popcorn and be amused by our thoughts this week, its all in fun! Your Bougie Bartender ~Kev…

What's Up Bougie Babez?!?!? Miss E introduces a theory that she believes men are more likely to abandon or retreat from loving relationships because of vasopressin. What do you think of this hypothesis? The Bougie Crew break down the hormones' that play into expressions within romantic relationships like vasopressin, and oxytocin. Also brought into the discussion are public displays of affection on the innanet! When is it appropriate to post someone when dating? Is there a difference between being a private person or hiding your relationship status for more play? Of course we go down a few rabbit holes, and this week's buzz word ("mental illness") starts to echo throughout the conversation.

Alright Bougie Babes and Bros! We made it through another presidential election.

We get into it all on this week's episode. Grab you a couple of sides and some chicken while you're at it. Its gonna be a gut-buster! ~Your Bougie Bartender Kev…

What's Good Bougie Babes and Bougie Bro's! Thank you for your patience, and sorry to keep you waiting! So we know we're late with this one but we had a lot going on last week with our latest homecoming celebration! Before those festivities though, we got together to discuss the anticipation of celebrations as an adult. As a child, Christmas was like the penultimate of holidays, and we would prepare and dream about it all year leading up to it; so this episode's discussion focuses on what things give us that same excitement and anticipation as adults. Of course we have to talk about GHOE (Greatest Homecoming On Earth, and also the reason no episode was published last week). For the grown and sexy, what do you anticipate all year leading up to?

Episode 110: Cardi Back & Forth 1:16:24

för 35 weeks sedan1:16:24

1:16:24

Bougie Babeez! It has indeed been a week to say the least. One thing that none of us could miss was the back-and-forth blasting that has been going on between popular rap star Cardi B, and her estranged and soon-to-be divorced husband, Offset (from rap group Migos). We all know Cardi from Love & Hip Hop fame, which she only appeared on for a few seasons and quickly used the notoriety to glow up her music career; but it seems like with the posts she and Offset have made, she is back to reality show antics. We break down our thoughts on the public exchange on the innanets, and talk about some of our own former situationships that ended because of infidelity. When a relationship goes south, do you tend to want to vent to the internet, or do you respect the person and keep your gripes to yourself? Stay tuned, sit back and follow us down this road; it is truly intriguing. Your Bougie Bartender ~Kev…

Greetings and Salutations Bougie Babes! So, you remember when we talked about our upcoming 20-year High School Class reunions and other reunions past back on episode 94? Well this week, we continued the conversation but we've got another fresh perspective. Benita keeps it candid with us about how she was able to attend both of the separate events back at the 10-year reunion, and how she feels about it happening again this year at the 20-year. She spoke her peace, and as usual, we ventured into all territories reminiscing about our school days. Some of us have since attended our reunions or are even attending them this weekend and we decided to chat with an integral part of the story that Miss Erica, and classmates relayed about the shocking discovery of another reunion for the white members of their class of '03. Sit back, sip some cognac, and relax as you get into this one. Its pure entertainment! Your Bougie Bartender ~Kev…

för 2 years sedan1:06:07

1:06:07

What's Poppin' Bougie Ladies and Gents!?! This week we decided to tackle the "hot seat" that is being the so-called Villain. Now we all know that for entertainment purposes, the films and television that we watch will always have villains as a necessary part of the plot-line; but our discussion in the Bougie Den this week centered around times in our real lives where we have been portrayed as the "villain" and how these times shaped us and lead to growth. Does being the villain necessarily mean that you are in the wrong or have evil intent? What motivates others to portray us at the villain? Are villains' misunderstood? How important is it to control the narrative that exists about your character? Listen, these stories get pretty deep and as always, there's some laughs in here. Grab some wine and sip from your favorite goblet, and gon' and let out a spine-tingling cackle as you listen to this one. You know you'll want to! Your Bougie Bartender ~Kev…

What's good Bougie Babes and Bougie Bros? C'mon into the Bougie Den this week as we get into the mind of a self-professed side-piece. We had a chance to chop it up with a special guest, Mark, who came to us by way of a virtual-dating match with our very own Erica P. Though their initial conversations bred the topic of this episode, we gave Mark the floor to be completely candid and enlighten us on how being a successful side-dude works. Is this really a position you want to be in? How is this type of arrangement set up? Is there an appeal to being the saucy side and not the main? What are the rules of this game? You've gotta get into this convo! Of course, we all had our distinct and differing opinions, and trust, we couldn't even fit it all into one episode. This is just the first half. Sip your bouj-bar crafted libations and grab some bomb-ass sides to snack on while listening, and let us know what you think as well! ~The Bougie Bartender, Kev…

Partying, drinking, eating... none of it is the same the older you get. From the physical, to the mental of it all, we break down whether or not it truly gets greater later, and whether we are all aging gracefully like fine wine or rottin' like raisins!

Lets get to the nitty-gritty! Step into the Bougie Den as we discuss the best questions to ask someone when you're going on a date. Is there a such thing as asking too complex questions? It's been observed that at our big age, folks will ask about what you do and where you work before asking about YOU! What are some non-negotiables or things that would make you no longer desire to date someone? If the current topic of the Supreme Court rulings on affirmative action and/or student loans came up and they were negatively addressed at your date, how would that make you feel as a person of color? Do you think minorities have made advances because of affirmative action in education? Why does the black community seem to be attached by these rulings? Do you think affirmative action is necessary today? Plus, we discuss higher education, the importance of HBCUs, how expensive college can be, and how student loans have been forgiven for some but not all. Lets sit back, relax and unpack.
