Whorror Stories Vol 4. - The Mole in CF

You ever put 2+2 together but still couldn’t figure out why someone ghosted you, so you just start coming up with your own shit... yea thats what happened. I usually dont give a fuck because - I'm the prize & shit... but this n*gga kinda had a hold on me, and he ghosted me little by little... so i guess i got "peter'd" (idk i heard it on Abbott Elemetary, nvm). I really liked a guy and really thought this relationship was going to hold me over for a while. It felt so good in the moment, and ...

Whorror Stories Vol 3.

How I met my man's girlfriend on a jail visit. Yea, you read that right. At this point in my life I didn't see the importance of asking for a mans relationship status (still kinda dont), I mean, his actions would prove to me who he was... or so i thought. But one thing about men, they might spend 23 hours busy/occupied, but on that 24th hour, he gonna choose cheating over sleep. Men are experts at time management. Shorty, came to me as a woman? stay tuned to see how that went. Whorror Stories is...

Whorror Stories Vol. 2

Winter in Miami. This is the story about me being part of a threesome that I had no clue about... Making adult friendships are hard, finding them, nurturing them, and sustaining them. There are a bunch of red flags that I should have been able to take heed to and didn't, I guess my unsolicited advice would be, stick to your gut feeling. Thank god I made it out okay and was with individuals that made sure I was safe, but it could've had a bunch of negative endings. This story was of course summar...

I Be Forever Mackin (212 w. Rambo)

I aint gon lie, niggas OG's be telling them the wrong things. On this episode, I got to Two Twelve with Ram (@thereal_rambo), someone I never met before, and I think that made for a more natural conversation. We spoke about a bunch of things like being vulnerable and opening up to your partner and how hard it can be for us. We also spoke about mental health of men who hustle and taking intentional self care breaks. For the first time since I started TheTwoTwelve, I finally had a guest that was e...

And Another Thing 9/23/22

Men hate deadbeat dads, don't want them in their peer group or to do business with them. They’re willing to have conversations with their "friends" about being a better dad (or so they say) - but when it comes to a man cheating on his wife... men tend to "mind their business" - I think thats v. v. pussy but i digress. Also, would you date a sex worker? are you insecure if you dont? And Another Thing is uncut opinions and current events every Friday at 6am. Whorror Stories begin 9/28/22, ( and ev...

Finding the Unity in Community (212 @ Taco Tuesday)

The woes of being woke. In this episode of TheTwoTwelve, I caught this audio on some sneaky shit. I was invited to a Taco Tuesday/Game night and shit got political, and I wasn’t the reason for once. It was a male led conversation and I believe we’ve all heard similar sentiments. We spoke about our views on voting, the importance of black history in school and the result of the lack thereof. I understand the need for this dialogue to constantly be happening but also understand the stress it may c...

Fake it for Me. (212 w. Nikki Giovanni & James Baldwin)

In this episode of TheTwoTwelve, I used a 3 minute clip from a 2 hour interview named “The Black Detour” between Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin. In this clip, Nikki Giovanni is asking, why is it because I love you, I get the bulk of your anger? If you can hypothetically “lie” to your friends, or your employer for the perception that everything is okay out of obligation, why can’t you also lie to me sometimes just for the balance of our relationship? This became a conversation about mental heal...

Resetting the Room (212 w. Ly Milly)

Today I have a guest that I met very recently, via clubhouse. His name is Ly Milly @_lymilly, and you might have seen him as one in the entourage of Brooklyn rapper, Fabolous.

AND ANOTHER THING - Ep. 3 - Are you scared to say you’re dating to marry?

Why is it that we're reluctant to state our clear intentions up front if thats how we genuinely feel? Nothing answers that better than, fear of rejection. Were all in this dating pool, swimming around with piss in it. It's already tainted and often tampered with, and many of us don't like the discomfort of uncertainty - the probability that someone wont accept our truth. Is it really a loss if that persons intentions don't align with yours anyway? Be brave enough to live your life with intention...

Meanstreets Interlude - Hood Linguistics

yes, i called it Meanstreets (and if you from the town, you know I was on the other side of linden)... remember that. Anyways... here's a snippet of conversation between my neighborhood friends and I, on the unspoken topic of hood linguistics. There are tones and signals that are learned in different neighborhoods to show a level of respect among men; including but not limited to, the appropriate head nod. Some would even call it a survival tactic. Hope you can enjoy the semantics as much as I d...

The Miseducation (212 w. Pfetti)

Trigger warning. Certain topics were discussed that may trigger a lot of my listeners. Although I understand every Two Twelve will not be harmonious chit chat for entertainment, this conversation was hard for me to get through; I battled with myself on even releasing it. However, I recognized the importance in having these conversations in particular. I understand that this conversation may be deemed ignorant or from a male gaze, but its important to hear it, and understand this one person isn't...
