  43. Black & Mild

    When did you realize that you were "one of the good ones," and when did you decide to not be seen as one? One of the many questions asked in this episode. We also talk about socialism, out favorite wrestling finishers, and the Fast Saga.

  44. Judas and the Black Messiah

    In this super-sized episode we break down the movie Judas and the Black Messiah, and it wouldn't be a Good Ones episode if we didn't get completely derailed into topics like Sonic the Hedgehog, the accuracy of The Bible, and other things.

  47. Black representation in media and pop culture

    Recorded on super bowl Sunday— The boys aka The Good Ones try to have a conversation about our top 5 black representations in media. We say "try" because we can't stay on topic for more than a couple minutes at a time and the near constant hotep energy is out of control.
