Well Hello, Hello Bougie Bunch!  This week marks a special milestone for our host Miss Erica, so in true fashion we will all be partying it up and celebrating. In preparation for the B'day shenannigans, we weren't able to get in a full episode proper this week;  however, we couldn't leave you with nothin'!  We've provided you with a little Quickie drop to hold you over till the next.  And the topics for this one are all over the place; its whatever our goddess Erica wanted to talk about.  Pop some champagne for our girl and do a little 2-step as you listen to this one!  Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

Greetings Bougie Babez!  On today's episode, we're giving you another installment of our Bougie Advice Column.  We have some particularly ratchet scenarios that we're discussing today, and of course the convo gets derailed at a few points with endless chuckles and random rabbit holes.  It's always great to start off a new year with some huge laughs though.  Grab a huge cocktail to match, and enjoy!Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

What up Bougie babes and bros!?!?!?  We've all been taking a little time during the holidays so we were without content for a few weeks, but decided to bless you with an extra episode this week that was recorded earlier in the season.  On this one, we're focusing on "Me Time";  How often can we get it, how we set it up, and what causes us to need it.  Its all about refilling you cup this episode, so go ahead and fill your cup with your favorite libation and enjoy!Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

Greetings Bougie Posse!  On the heals up new years celebrations (Happy New Years to our listeners btw) we're discussing the latest trending topic involving a young pregnant teenager who was recently compelled to apologize to her church congregation for becoming pregnant.  The crew discusses our thoughts on the situation, and the blowback/aftermath that has occured to the pastor of this church for his words after the teenager shared.  The whole thing is going viral because many church services live stream.  Is teen pregnancy still a relevant issue in 2025? What is the young girl's mother's role in this and does she have a responsibility or take ownership of what happened?   Is what this church/pastor did appropriate or are there other ways of handling the situation?  Grab your communion juice and crackers, and get ready to enjoy this super-sized episode.Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

Seasons Greetings Bougie Babes and Bros!  For this week's special holiday episode, we're talking all things Christmas, as we all get ready,  We're all about making new holiday traditions so we also discuss hypothetical fantasy holiday setups with the guests of our choice.  It gets wild and crazy on this one.  Grab your hot cocoa and a shot of your choice alcohol as you wrap gifts and bust a gut on this one.~Your Bougie BartenderKevSend us Fan Mail

Bougie crew step into the bougie den as “we listen, but we don’t judge” and we talk about “the suspects.”  These games came about on social media, specifically on Instagram and some of them have been the most hilarious others have been the most embarrassing. Nevertheless, what a time we had trying to come up with schemes, and not judging the fact that you have divulged your interpersonal thoughts is almost the perfect recipe to be judged.  We expect you to get your laugh on, take a sip, sit back and think about something that you’ve heard from your loved ones, your family members, your spouse, your boo, your parents — think about something they’ve done and you listened, but you didn’t judge.  No worries, some people think that you shouldn’t release your interpersonal thoughts and that’s OK because in the words, the Lovely Mrs. Tabitha Brown, that’s your business. 😉 Then later, based on whatever information they divulged to you can implicate the suspect in the crime!  Grab your Henny, because we have plenty! 🥃 -B, The Rich Uncle Send us Fan Mail

Whats Up Bougie Babes and Gents?!?  This week we're talkin' bout the law!  All things sensationalized in the media regarding the justice system that is; whether it be our president elect's recent cabinet picks, or the recent pop culture fascination with Gypsy Rose and the Menendez Brothers.  We also give more input on whole Diddy situation, and even refer to some the most sensationalized court cases we remember from our childhood, like OJ Simpson.  Is there priviledge with a certain sector of folk when it comes to getting justice?  Why is there such a lengthy process to litigation in our court system?  And why do some bounce back from jail stints (i.e. Martha Stewart) while others struggle to make it?  Grab your drink of choice and some popcorn and be amused by our thoughts this week, its all in fun!Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

Bougie Babes!!!! This episode had us in a headlock of a RANT! Do you feel like you have to save the world? Yes, the world Craig!! lol. Baybee we jumped on and relayed our sentiments about how life is tearing us up with obligations on top of obligations. Then… it’s never enough! Hunni that’s when the weird guilt sets in. Chile grab the Dussè XO, popcorn and cozy spot to enjoy because it gets real! Xoxo Erica Patrice Send us Fan Mail

We back at it again Bougie Babes!  Continuing where we left off last week, the Bougie Crew talk whether or not men get in relationships for love, legacy, or potential.  We also talk abstinence, the alienation of being single, and differences in the dating pools of men and women.  Last week's buzzword is sprinkled throughout the episode, so you know its full of a lot of laughs.  Enjoy!Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

What's Up Bougie Babez?!?!? Miss E introduces a theory that she believes men are more likely to abandon or retreat from loving relationships because of vasopressin. What do you think of this hypothesis?  The Bougie Crew break down the hormones' that play into expressions within romantic relationships like vasopressin, and oxytocin.  Also brought into the discussion are public displays of affection on the innanet!  When is it appropriate to post someone when dating?  Is there a difference between being a private person or hiding your relationship status for more play?  Of course we go down a few rabbit holes, and this week's buzz word ("mental illness") starts to echo throughout the conversation.  Grab your drink and snacks, and prepare for the fun, cuz we're all in on this one! Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

Alright Bougie Babes and Bros!  We made it through another presidential election.  This one has probably been the most important and perhaps will rival for the most historical election of our lifetimes; and though it has been a heavy week, we get on the mic to give our thoughts on the results, our mindset moving forward, and hopefully provide some levity and encouragement along the way.  This week's convo (which was recorded on the night following election day) is just about as candid and real as it can get.  Enjoy~Your Bougie Bartender,~KevSend us Fan Mail

Seasons Greetings Bougie Babes and Bros!  Now we know you reading the title sayin' "Side pieces again?!?"   We know, we know!   It's that time of year again.... Cuffing Season is upon us. With all the consecutive holidays in the forefront, we discussed the politics of potluck culture; are potlucks still a thing?  Should they be?  What is your modus operandi for navigating company potlucks during this time of year?  And from discussing different types of dishes at potlucks, we diverge into a conversation about sides & situations.  What do you do when someone's sidepiece is brought to a holiday or family function?  We get into it all on this week's episode.  Grab you a couple of sides and some chicken while you're at it.  Its gonna be a gut-buster!~Your Bougie Bartender      Kev Send us Fan Mail

What's Good Bougie Babes and Bougie Bro's!  Thank you for your patience, and sorry to keep you waiting!  So we know we're late with this one but we had a lot going on last week with our latest homecoming celebration!  Before those festivities though, we got together to discuss the anticipation of celebrations as an adult.  As a child, Christmas was like the penultimate of holidays, and we would prepare and dream about it all year leading up to it; so this episode's discussion focuses on what things give us that same excitement and anticipation as adults.  Of course we have to talk about GHOE (Greatest Homecoming On Earth, and also the reason no episode was published last week). For the grown and sexy, what do you anticipate all year leading up to?  What things get you so excited you can hardly sleep.  Hope you enjoy this one!~Your Bougie Bartender  KevSend us Fan Mail

What’s popping Bougie Babes!?! It’s a special week and episode! Our very own Rich Uncle recently celebrated his birthday, so in his honor, we got on the mic to talk about how he felt about bidding goodbye to another year of life and welcoming a new one.  We delved into what we all hope for and are looking forward to in the future; And B honored his father and talked about some challenges he experienced when he passed this past year. This one is a “real” one and heartfelt one this time ya’ll.  Enjoy!Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

Bougie Babeez!  It has indeed been a week to say the least.  One thing that none of us could miss was the back-and-forth blasting that has been going on between popular rap star Cardi B, and her estranged and soon-to-be divorced husband, Offset (from rap group Migos).  We all know Cardi from Love & Hip Hop fame, which she only appeared on for a few seasons and quickly used the notoriety to glow up her music career; but it seems like with the posts she and Offset have made, she is back to reality show antics.  We break down our thoughts on the public exchange on the innanets, and talk about some of our own former situationships that ended because of infidelity.  When a relationship goes south, do you tend to want to vent to the internet, or do you respect the person and keep your gripes to yourself?  Stay tuned, sit back and follow us down this road; it is truly intriguing.Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

What's Good Bougie Babes!?!? Check out our latest live recordings; This weeks' episode is from a live conversation we recently had to address some recent beef that our very own Erica Patrice noticed amongst fellow podcast and social media personalities Tony Gaskins and Laterras Whitfield ("Dear Future Wifey").  Though both are prominent figures on the interwebs and in similar lanes, Tony recently took jabs at Laterras and we break it down.  The "Crabs in a Barrel" syndrome is very familiar within our community.  Why does it happen?  What do you do when you experience unprovoked character asassination within your own circle?  Grab a snack and take a listen as we analyze and relate to the situation.  And if you're liking what you hear and want to see us live in action, check out the episode on our YouTube channel!Your Bougie Bartender,~KevSend us Fan Mail

Did HE do wrong? Step into the Bougie Den to discuss music mogul-producer-artist-party extraordinaire and freak, Sean “Puff Daddy/Diddy” Combs. Was Cassie the catalyst of all of this debauchery? Will other well-known artists and entertainers be implicated since there is video? Why so many bottles of lube and baby oil and who counted them?  Will he be able to circumvent any charges due to his vast amount of finances?-B, The Rich UncleSend us Fan Mail

Bougette's and Bougetto's, this one's for you!  Have you ever been called Bougie, Fancy, highfaluting, or extra?  WE ALL HAVE, I mean come on; its in the name of our podcast!  This week though we break down "bougie".  What does it mean to us to be called bougie?  Is it positive thing, or is it negative?  How does one perceive being referred to as bougie?  What makes you bougie?  Per usual, our trademark tangents are in this week's discussion too, so you'll find us remarking on the Usher tour, wearing Grillz, and each host's individual super-powers'.  And we even sprinkle some of our latest splurges which we feel would be considered the bougiest!  Pop your fancy popcorn and drink a fancy cocktail with your pinky's up on this one.  Only the first class finest for the Bougie Crew!Your Bougie Bartender~Kev Send us Fan Mail

Whats Crackin' Bougie Babes and Bougie Bros?!? On the heels of the latest viral Funky Friday podcast episode with Cam Newton and Dr. Bryant, we tackle the topic of dating individuals with children, and how each of us feel about it.  Can you date someone who has kids if you don't already?  When dealing with dating  or partnering with someone who already has kids, what is most important?  How do you navigate when the person you are dating's kids are disrespectful or challenge you?  And would you want to get involved with someone who could see having kids with you but didn't want to marry you?  We get into it all, as well as some sidebar convos about none other than  fried chicken, of all things!  Grab you a bucket of extra crispy, kick back and enjoy this one; its equal parts litty and funny!Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

What's good Bougie Babes!  We're back to finish up last weeks discussion about our guest Benita's concept of the "Coy Boy".  We opened the floor last week with the debate on whether or not today's modern man is pursuing and courting the same way they did in the past, or if they are waiting for the women to lead the dating direction. This week we're continuing this convo, as well as discussing the controversial phrase "be my peace", the competitive nature of dating, and how one would react to find your ex is dating someone that could be your twin.  Kick back and relax with your snacks, its easy listening and lots more laughs ahead.~Your Bougie Bartender,    KevSend us Fan Mail

What's good Bougie Crew!  We've got a fan favorite back for this episode.  We previously were able to to chop it up with Benita in episode 97.  Today, she put us onto a new concept that she and a lot of women are noticing, so we had to discuss.  Do men not feel the need to chase anymore?  In the dating landscape, is it now acceptable to anyone to shoot their shot, or should it always be the man who is initiating pursuit.  What happens when someone is interested in you and you're unaware?  Tap in and enjoy, this one's a good one!  ~Your Bougie Bartender  KevSend us Fan Mail

What’s up Bougie Babes! When I tell you, it has been so long since last season so we all were too excited to get back at it! We get carried away on this week’s supa-sized episode!  So we’re of course catching up with one another, so there’s that tea, but the tangents that develop from our convo flow get insane! We go from talking about laying hands on a significant other, to trash treatment, to loving vs liking someone, to one of our hosts giving a very graphic description of a traveling experience with a partner that went all the way left.  It was tremendously tough to keep the train on the rails for this one,  but each topic lead to more and more tangents and of course our usual banter.  We cuttin up, so buckle up and enjoy this one; It’s a Doozy!~Your Bougie Bartender KevSend us Fan Mail

SURPRISE! We're BACK! New Year, New Season, and we're less than 90 days away from a new US President, so of course we had to talk about politics one good time! As messy, stressful and serious as this election season has been, you know we had to put our own sauce on it and discuss.  Now this wasn't really a political debate, but the Bougie Broads and Bros give our thoughts and opinions on all parties involved (pun intended), our hopes and wishes, our gripes, and our encouragements.  Politics can be heavy, so of course we had to gon' and get it out of the way to start the season off!  Looking forward to more spicy dialogue coming forth later in the season!  Enjoy and thanks for waiting on us!  We're so glad to be back!~Your Bougie Bartender, Kev Send us Fan Mail

BONUS EPISODE ALERT!  We know you're probably out in these streets getting your shop on or in a food-coma from whatever good eatin's you had yesterday, but we wanted to gift you with something special.  The Bougie Crew + 1 decided to hop on the mic to discuss some of the latest news in black celebrity culture, from the allegations from Cassie about Diddy, to the allegations from Keke Palmer about her baby-daddy, her mom and her allegations about Usher, and the alleged assault claims that took place at a Tamar Braxton concert.  Yes, we know, its a whole lot of allegations so its gonna be a whole lot of this word thrown around in this episode... "ALLEGEDLY"!  We give you our take on these topics, and are joined by former guest Sweet Tooth, and we also each give thanks for specific things we are grateful for in our lives.  Enjoy this treat for your ears, and Happy Holidays!Your Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail

What's up Bougie Babes & Bro's? Okay, so now that you've heard our thoughts on the Jada & Will situation right after the slap, here's our thoughts TODAY after finding out that the Black Community's idolized wedded couple has actually been living their lives separated for years, even through the midst of the Red Table talk series, the August Alsina entanglement revelation, and the Chris Rock assault on live television.  Were any of you guys surprised to hear the news?  Is it genuine or just fodder to sell books?  True, at one time, we looked up to the Smith's as "couple goals", but does that still ring true?  We also discuss the Jeezy and Jeannie Mai split a little more in detail, and Miss E's definition of the strangest couple of modern times (Caresha and Diddy).    Sip some tea on this one, while we give you some of our own!Your Bougie Bartender,~KevSend us Fan Mail

Bougie Babes!  We takin' it back this week!  We've got our new episode (which will be dropping later this evening) but since we are discussing someone we've talked about at length before, we decided to bring it back around.  Jada Pinkett-Smith has been making her rounds this week, and we of course are gonna give you our 2 cents, hell, our whole dollar on that, but what were we saying about her the last time we discussed her?  Welp, we did a live event right after the infamous slap heard around the world at the 2022 Academy Awards, and boy were our thoughts different then opposed to what they are now.  Here's our conversation from then, and come back because later tonight we will post our latest thoughts on the matter!   Until then, we are sure you will get some laughs with this heated convo!Bougie Bartender~KevSend us Fan Mail
