Your favorite show is on a mid season break (we already miss you too). Today we're revisiting our conversation which served as our crash course into BDSM with our friend Goddess Bria. We would try to explain what happens over the course of this conversation but you wouldn't believe us if we did, so just press play and if you have kids around you might want to put airpods in or be ready to explain what scat play is. Music you hear at the top and bottom of the show is all by @unstoppablebuddha Edi...

On our mid season finale we sit down for an extended conversation, with friend of the show, Keenan Scott II, who is a playwright, poet, actor, director, and producer of original work from Queens, New York. We discuss how he went from being a shy kid unable to remember his words at a DC open mic to now being one of seven Black playwrights leading the reopening of Broadway this fall (yeah, that Broadway). This episode is for anyone that has experienced failure, rejection and set backs of any kind;...

Apparently 50% of people in relationships have one person they're keeping warm in case their relationship ends. Think about it, that means either you or your significant other has your potential replacement on standby.

On what is possibly one of our most 'Aint Shit' episodes of BMAS(?!) in a while we discuss the topic of breadcrumbing, Buddha's younger self's social ladder theory, we absolutely butchered pronouns (sigh, bear with us) and finally we ask the question ' WHAT THE FU*K is wrong with Hugh?' (still, no answers). Thank you for the listener conversation that inspired this episode. If you or a loved one has suffered at the hands of 'aint shit-ness' feel free to slide in our DMs on IG @buddhaandthebeard ...

Did you know that roughly 500 to 1,000 Americans die yearly due to masturbation related incidents? Neither did I until I googled it, so that number might not be completely accurate, but I digress. In this weeks mini episode we discuss a person that suffered a near death experience at the hands of their own hands...(i'm sorry I had to do it). Make sure you like, follow and subscribe wherever you listen.

In today's episode we talk about pursuiting dreams (i know, we'll dive back into aint shit-ness next week) . No, we don't have all the answers but this isn't about that. We do discuss the ways happiness, depression, anxiety, acceptance and more have been involved in our own individual journeys. Follow us @buddhaandthebeard on IG

Between work, babies, and the stress of everyday life it seems to be almost natural for the sex life of a married couple to pay the price. Ironically, that's exactly what our next guest decided to do.

Buddha and the Beard discuss fragile egos (no, not Tory) and rejection from both the perspective of the receiver and giver--the truth is that it can hurt from either side (but clearly much more from the former rather than the latter).

An episode that started as an introduction into the world of BDSM and Kink helped us realized there is no way it could all be captured in one conversation, but we still tried though. Join us as we discuss BDSM and Kink through the eyes of a professional dominatrix and kink educator. From Fin-Domme to Pro-Domme, SPH to scat play (if you don't know what it is, you will today) we learned there isn't a kink too big or too small, unless of course, you're into SPH. On the outside this may all look eas...

While your hosts have been in multiple relationships at any given time, we can't say it was always (ever) something every participating party was aware of (we own the ain't shit-ness of that statement). Apparently 'you aint gotta lie to kick it' is real. Join us as we explore more about Polyamory from friend to the show and author of the research paper "Open to Love: Polyamory and The "Black American", Chris Smith. If you want to hear more about polyamory (aka Ethical Ho-ing), being black and po...

Men, we've all been here, Women (partners) by default, you've been there too. You started with the best of intentions, but somehow it happens before you know it.

You know those questions you're compelled to ask, but really aren't ready for the answer. The hard reality is that we had lives before we met, of the people that we end up with today, so should any of what I did before matter to you today? Spoiler alert: Maybe.

This past week was an emotional shart and we didn't want to proceed with business as usual because nothing is as usual now. However, when emotions are running high, self-care becomes all the more necessary and while we ourselves aren't at 100%, we wanted to get together to give you a bit of an escape (before we all get back out there). This week we cover: P Diddy, saggy titties, pocket full of dough (in no particular order, and if you didn't rap that we shouldn't be friends, if you just went bac...

Sex with your ex seems taboo, but in reality just about everyone does it. Is it healthy? Destructive? Worth it? Or, just like alcohol, should it be enjoyed responsibly. We dig into the good and the bad from our perspective.
