  • Season 5 Ep 8: Joi Renee
    Apr 7 2026

    We are deep into the second half of Season 5, and for Episode 8, we are bringing a truly special perspective to the mic.

    This week, we are joined by a dear friend of the SMG network, all the way from Indianapolis, IN—the incredible Ms. Joi Renee. As a professional midwife, Joi spends her days bringing new life into the world, and today, she’s sitting down with us to discuss what that journey looks like and what life is truly all about.

    Joi Renee takes on the qu3stions gauntlet, offering a beautiful mix of professional wisdom and personal humor. We’re diving into:

    • The Midwife’s Journey: Joi shares the inspiring story of how she found her calling and what it’s really like to be on the front lines of birth and new beginnings.

    • The Big Philosophy: We tackle the heavy hitters—Joi’s definition of love, her perspective on what life is truly about, and the six-word advice she would send back to her younger self.

    • The "After-Hours" Essentials: From her go-to diner orders and favorite corner store snacks to the "after the club" fuel she swears by.

    • The 33-Question Gauntlet: We find out Joi’s favorite chocolate, ice cream, her flirty emoji of choice, and the one skill she’s still looking to master.

    • The Fun & The Weird: What does a midwife talk about when she’s talking to herself? Did we actually land on the moon? And the seasonal staple: What exactly is Humpty Dumpty?

    From the miracle of life to the best movie that ever made her laugh, Joi Renee brings a grounded, soulful energy to this episode that you don't want to miss.

    We are deep into the second half of Season 5, and for Episode 7, we are bringing a true heavy hitter to the microphone.

    This week, we are joined by a longtime friend of the SMG network and a podcaster extraordinaire: Charles Pratt. As the voice behind the award-nominated Dating University and the host of The Husband Lounge, Charles knows a thing or two about navigating the complex world of relationships. Today, he’s stepping out of the lounge and into the qu3stions hot seat.

    Charles balances his expertise in dating and marriage with our signature gauntlet of 33 questions, leading to a conversation that is as insightful as it is hilarious:

    • The Marriage Blueprint: Charles opens up about the reality of balancing a thriving podcasting career with married life.

    • The DMV Debate: We tackle the ultimate regional question—does Old Bay actually go on everything?

    • Life & Legacy: Hear the six-word advice Charles would send back to his younger self and the new skill he is currently looking to master.

    • The Deep Dives: We ask the big one—what is love?—and explore the definitions that shape our lives.

    • The Rapid Fire: From his favorite Baltimore classic food and corner store snacks to the nickname he uses when he completely forgets someone's name.
