  • Verbal Dsylexia, Failed Survivor Watch Party & Bribes in Coney Island
    Oct 10 2025

    It’s 2025, I’ve moved to NYC, and I’m deep in the comedy trenches.

    I catch you up on life, my absolutely cursed Survivor 49 watch party and I cruised Botched Presents rabbit hole (yes, Michelle Visage pulled me in, and no, I still don’t know what Aubrey's wigs have to do with plastic surgery but I DO know Kim Zolciak is a demon).

    On the news portion of the episode I discuss

    • Casino bribery scandal in Coney Island, how dark personality traits like narcissism and Machiavellianism correlate with emoji usage, and a news story from North Carolina, a Muslim woman has won her lawsuit after being forced to remove her hijab during a booking at the Mecklenburg County jail.

  • Art, Fatherhood, and CHROMOKOPIA: A Perspective on Tyler's Growth ft Symply Courtney
    Dec 1 2024

    Special Episode: 1 Hour on Tyler, The Creator's CHROMOKOPIA | Variety Half Hour Podcast" In this special episode of the Variety Half Hour Podcast, we’re dedicating a full hour to Tyler, The Creator’s latest album, CHROMOKOPIA. From his raw vulnerability with Bastard to the experimental brilliance of CHROMOKOPIA, we explore Tyler’s evolution through seven albums, including Goblin, Wolf, Cherry Bomb, Flower Boy, IGOR, and CMIYGL. As a Black woman in the comedy scene, I’ll also dive into how tracks like I Killed You resonate with my own experiences—feeling both inspired and paranoid while navigating spaces dominated by white men. We'll unpack how Tyler’s work reflects his personal journey and challenges, particularly his experiences with identity, fatherhood, and creativity in a world that often feels limiting. We’ll also discuss the influence of Odd Future, the legacy of collaborations with Earl Sweatshirt, and how Tyler continually pushes artistic boundaries. Songs like "Ratahtah," "St. Chromo," and "Noid" offer layers of meaning that connect to our own struggles with authenticity and the complexity of being Black in predominantly white spaces. Join us for this shallow dive into CHROMOKOPIA, where we explore Tyler’s impact on art, culture, and the journey to find one’s true self.

  • Stand Up Producer Alert!
    Oct 1 2024

    Join me for a solo episode where I dive into being a lady in the Austin comedy scene, why I don't f*** with roast battles and local news.

    I’ll dish on producing my first show, ponder the quirks of love and laughter, and explore the fine line between positive and negative reinforcement—because who doesn’t love a little psychology with their punchlines?

    So, kick back, relax, and let’s have some fun!
