Sydney makes her debut on the pod, and let’s just say… the drinks were flowing. Joined by Nashjia and Ladarrion, we chop it up about her journey through dental school, surviving student loans, and navigating the college life in Southeast Michigan.

We get into chaperoning school trips, our infamous "summer baby" theory, and what it means to balance life as a 19-year-old woman in today’s chaotic world. From the madness of driving in Michigan to the pressure of leaving Detroit behind, we ask—does running from the city really solve anything?

We take it down south for summers in Mississippi, explore femininity in today’s media space, and talk about the male void in emotional honesty. There’s growth in being unapologetically you, but also in knowing when to change to get what you want.

We talk about encouraging people to take their shot, what it was like being in high school during COVID, and whether the voices of today’s 20-somethings are being dismissed by older generations.

We get deep on class vs race, why relationships are a learned skill—not a given—and the truth about birth control, pregnancy, and that age-old excuse: “oh, she’s just on her period…”

This might be the drunkest episode we’ve recorded in a minute — and that’s saying something. We cover everything from $3.13 patreons for life, learning how to really use ChatGPT, and receiving whatever the Lord’s got lined up for us Tanashja’s coming at David sideways on Twitter, Andrea getting put on the set, and Syd clears out all her baby pics just to make room for this chaos. We reflect on that Lions vs. Packers game at Ford Field, BBLs in Puerto Rico, and our favorite pirates (real and fictional).

We dive deep into male and female archetypes — like nurses, cowboys and pirates — while Trump continues to treat life like a video game. Is it even worth paying bills and living alone anymore? We’ve got thoughts.

Cruises? Hard pass. Nosferatu? Back again. And White Chocolate on Coulda Been Love.

Also: lying in dating just 'cause, Andre vs. Free in the ultimate cook-off, drunk ladies vs. barstools, and why the power in women might just be the void in men.

We said what we said — and when we blow up, these old episodes will haunt us.

In this jam-packed episode, we welcome back Darrell to the mic for a wild ride through real life, hot takes, and some much-needed laughs. We’re kicking things off by promoting the Patreon, then diving into the art of keeping a healthy distance from certain associations.

We get nostalgic about our Verdansk days, anticipating “Cooking with Fire” segment (yes, secret recipes included), and talk about getting active in the kitchen. A peek into life on the road, we touch on the chaos of tax season, and dream out loud about that elusive second camera setup.

We chop it up about raising boys in 2025, the danger of hooping in your 30s, and our ongoing mission to convert everyone to the golf course. The convo takes a turn into deep waters: family dynamics, financial literacy, and America’s current protests against Trump. We're moving militantly in this media game, holding ourselves accountable, and reflecting on the power of prayer.

Is The Dearly Beloveds Podcast an intimidating experience? Maybe. But it's also real, raw, and rooted in love. We wrap with talk about the Pistons’ playoff dreams, favorite video episodes, tech struggles (hello iCloud), and everything in between.

In this reflective and raw episode, we open with the Long Bully V1 intro and dive headfirst into the most indefensible of tasks—decoding Kanye’s tweets. From the Saint on the Bully album to the archetype of the villain and the beauty in breaking those American-made shackles, we explore what it means to sheath the sword and walk off the ledge.

We peel back layers in the entertainment space and examine the role African Americans are often cast into, then pivot into something even deeper: execution. Making the call. Becoming an asset in love and in life. What does it mean to always be an asset—to your partner, your people, and yourself?

From being twisted up in love’s game to not losing yourself in the motion, we discuss the balance of self-awareness, identity, and transitions. There are no absolutes when it comes to identifying your people—everything is everything.

We also unpack lyrics from the No Losses Beloveds EP, touch on the vulnerability in how we approach those we love, and the healing that comes with owning our toxicity. Parental wounds, adult acceptance, and the weight of judgment—we get into it all.

Time is the only luxury. The only true value in life. And in this moment, we’re making it count.

Live from New Jersey, The DBP is back with a special feature from No Losses, Silent Wins podcast host Brandon King. In this episode, we dive into the creative process, the complexities of love communicated through tough conversations, and the balance of strength and vulnerability.

We reflect on 2024’s missed opportunities, the importance of cataloging our work, and the responsibility that comes with having a platform. From the struggle of managing relationships in creative spaces to breaking away from repetition and stepping into true independence, we discuss how to evolve without recreating the past.

We also touch on the realities of the “cooked OGs” and their acceptance, broad vs. niche content, and the grind required to expand a platform. Plus, a wild detour into banking frauds, the art of mattress money, and the thin line between casino wins and a healthy gambling habit.

Girl Pod!!! We dive into the turbulence at the heart of our creative process—adapting to the chaos of content creation, the frustration of forgotten adapters, wasted studio time, and just feeling dull. We unpack the dilemma of bringing a date to Haley’s wedding, secret love, and the ulterior motives that can exist in relationships. Plus, we explore the differences between female and male archetypes, managing expectations, and the self-awareness it takes to accept that not everyone will move the way you do. Finally, we confront the tension between what you want to do and what you have to do.

The Grand Finale:

In this final installment of our DBP session, we send Had to Got To off to soar into greatness. We’re talking Rainforest Café on Valentine’s Day, iPad kids running wild, and the best (and weirdest) delivery customers—from pro ballplayer wives to video game protagonists.

We dive into The Dark Side of Disney, covering wild conspiracies, on-site deaths, and the unsettling truths lurking behind the magic. Plus, the chaos of Comerica Park’s baseball giveaways, the never-ending wait for a Detroit Pistons turnaround, and thoughts on the Detroit Grand Prix at Belle Isle—along with some Southeast Michigan golf talk.

Also on deck: stolen golf clubs, the 18-wheeler boot scam, gambling addicts and their win/loss statements, and of course—the gooner crisis (control your horny, people).

Tap in for another wild ride! 🎧💨

Welcome to the channel! Another week of Beloveds x Had to, Got to, where we reminisce on classic pod moments and dive into everything from Taylor Swift’s sex appeal (dumb truck) to the pandemic of baddies working bottom-tier jobs.

We break down Luka Dončić before and after the Los Angeles Lakers, Jim Carrey’s chemistry with his female co-leads, and Drake’s comeback album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, featuring the hit single "Where My Hug @". Plus, we rank the best and worst concerts with Flair and celebrate the long-awaited return of DJ Sabbath—he’s been asleep, but now he’s awakened.

Also on the docket: Kendrick Lamar’s historic 2024, a year that could go down as the biggest for a single hip-hop artist. We discuss how old heads stay relevant and youthful (shoutout to Million Dollaz Worth of Game, even though we forgot the name mid-pod).

We also tackle:

• The easily offended older generations
• The difference between classism and racism
• Whether you’re actually learning on TikTok or just getting fed nonsense
• The Had to, Got to trio’s unpopular takes: We hate Russ, don’t mess with Carnival, but love Young Thug.

More boomer slander—but not just for the sake of it. This is a multi-generational identity conversation about culture, relevance, and the cycle of life:

"Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times."

Tap in. You Had to, Got to.
