Rod and Karen banter about Christmas sweaters, Karen is listening to sex audiobooks, how porn is still a job, how the gym is already packed, and using the n-word. Then they are joined by comedian Dominic Rivera to discuss getting older, the Sixers, old NBA vs New NBA, old sports media vs new sports media, Drake, Fat Joe vs FBA, Old MAGA vs Tech MAGA, and BlueSky vs X.

I think you may be on to something regarding Christmas sweaters, Karen. I’m a bit of a scrooge about Christmas, especially early in December (I’m more of a Halloween person), but I’m trying not to be and I also, as Rod puts it, am an extrovert who loves attention. Maybe I’ll put more effort into looking festive next year, I’m sure the attention and joy will be good for me.
I like this Podcast so much that I listened even to some of the Sports Talk without having any idea about it or interest in it.
But when Rod talks about it, it at least sounds like it could be fun.
Dear Karen,
The closest thing I listen to that is considered political is TBGWT and 3GO, and I consider you all more cultural than political. I have also tapped out. In the two months up to the election and since the election, I’ve stopped listening to political, feminist and non-fiction audiobooks but I immersed myself into cozy romances and cozy witchy mysteries on Spotify and my library’s audiobook platform (Libby). I’ve also been listening to regular, degular steamy romance as well. Let me recommend Talia Hibbert. She’s a Black British romance author and all her female characters are black, curvy and have natural hair. She features neurodivergent leads, leads who practices different religions and those who are all over the LGBTQIA spectrum.
Over the next four years, I plan to wrap myself in comfort and joy and pray that Trump won’t destroy the country too badly. I’m not giving up but I’m recharging.
Sincerely
Kisha (BklynShoeBabe)
Same here with TBGWT. That’s enough for me for American politics.
I wish I was in the chat to accuse Dom of baking bread in an apartment hence his being late (one his pandemic jokes that I love). I was walking on the street during the Fat Joe vs FBA (I can’t keep up with these acronyms), I almost walked into a white woman while laughing. Put me in a very awkward spot cause I could see Dr Umar staring and Fat Joe at the same time saying “I got you Nigga, Papi what’s good” coquito and plantains let’s go. I’ll continue to observe as a Watcher. So will Tareek and Dr. Umar drop a response track? The beefs of 2024 should be a book. Write it Rod!
Happy and a successful 2025 to the TBGWT Nation. Ya’ll made through 2024 with no beef with me only love, love right back at you. Discount included!
Hi Rod and Karen, Happy New Year to you and all of Tip Nation!!
Since Karen is getting into spicy romance novels, I have to recommend the books of DL White who you may recognize from the live audience of the Three Guys On podcast! I’ve read her books “Brunch at Ruby’s” and “The Never List”, and they’re so great!!
Her website is at BOOKS BY DL WHITE DOT COM (booksbydlwhite.com), and if you click on the ‘Audio’ section it’ll show the titles available in audio book format, including “Brunch at Ruby’s”!
