Adult-ish

R&B Singer Tank opened a can of feels when during a recent interview on Angela Yee's 'Lip Service' he divulged his thoughts on male sexuality and what it meant to be gay. The conversation led to a surge of backlash and comments on social media, but on this episode of 'Adult-ish,' we put our critical thinking to the test. Can a man be straight AND have a sexual encounter with another male? Why is it OK for women to be "curious," but it's gay for a man to experiment? Host Afiya is joined by her lovely co-host, Vincent Bernard, to dig deep into the topic as well as look into a recent reality TV star's opinion on sexuality being "suggested" in cartoons and the impact on her child, and figure out this thing called "sexuality."

Dating someone can be tricky enough, but what happens when your significant other's family is more involved in their lives than you thought — so much so, that it feels like you're dating them? In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya and co-host Vincent Bernard talk about the idea of how one can feel as though they're dating their significant other's family... and all the drama that may cause. How does one separate their loved one from THEIR loved ones? How does one appear to be supportive while keeping their family drama out of the mix of their relationship? This episode really gets into it — and so should you. Want to dig into your experience with dating your boo's family?

It's been a while, but we're finally back with a new episode of "Adult-ish" presents 'Fifi After Dark,' and this installment sees a pretty buzzed Afiya doing an intoxicated round-up on the last three episodes of the pod. In her solo chat, the "Adult-ish" host gets down to the core of her feelings about policing comedy and the content of comedians, she talks about her feelings on the new brand of feminism sweeping the world following the rise of the 'Me Too' movement, and lastly, she hones in on her chat regarding jealousy — and even reflects on her jealous ways from yesteryear. Oh, and this is all while sipping on a concoction of white wine, white absinthe, and vodka with a splash of strawberry lemonade. Yum, yum.Links mentioned in this episode:http://instagram.com/adultishp0dcasthttp://twitter.com/adultishp0dcasthttp://instagram.com/digidisnethttp://twitter.com/lajoliepoeta (Afiya)http://instagram.com/alja0214 (Afiya)Feeling a way about this drink-induced monologue?

And when you're in the thick of things, do you let your friends screw up the good thing that you've got going?In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya drops a pre-recorded conversation between herself and guest co-host Mr. Roblematic talking about all of the above AND more!

The last two episodes of 'Adult-ish' saw host Afiya and co-host Vincent Bernard discussing Dave Chappelle's latest comedy stand-up show, 'Sticks & Stones' and how movements, call-out, and cancel culture have changed. Now, Afiya takes is a step further and questions how it all has affected... feminism! With the Me Too movement still in swing, she tries to genuinely (and innocently) questions how feminist these moments in Me Too-related instances really are and whether the call-out culture will ever hit the femme community. Is Afiya feminist-ing like an adult? Is she even feministing?

In the previous episode of 'Adult-ish,' host Afiya and co-host Vince Bernard talked about the struggles of comedy, whether or not things should be looked at as "offensive," or just a joke without having Chappelle's latest show, "Sticks & Stones". So, how do they feel about it having watched the special? Well... some opinions have changed, but most have stayed quite the same. In this episode, the duo dish on the various jokes that Chappelle made, the truth /exaggerations of it, the social issues that he touched on, the moments that were "cringe-worthy," and other moments that caused a hearty laugh — all while having a bit of a drink and decompressing from work.

Last month (August 2019), Dave Chappelle dropped his newest stand-up comedy special, 'Sticks & Stones,' to the horror or delight — depending on who you are. In the last few years, Dave has been teetering on the line of folks to succumb to "Cancel Culture," and it's been said some of his jokes in this recent stand-up push him over the edge... but do they really? For this episode of 'Adult-ish', host Afiya and co-host Vincent Bernard talk about the struggles of comedy, whether or not things should be looked at as "offensive," or just a joke — without having seen Chapelle's latest show. The two discuss riding that fine line, what it means (to them) to take a joke like an adult, and give their own thoughts on comedy ahead of watching the Netflix special. Check back for Part 2 of this pod which drops later this week to see if they agree that his antics really are as crappy as people are saying they are.

August 5, 2019 marked the announcement that award-winning author, essayist, activist, and all-around bad ass Toni Morrison passed away at the age of 88 and to celebrate her life, legacy, and impact on the world, 'Adult-ish' co-host Vincent Bernard takes the reigns in this episode to discuss the cultural impact Toni's had on his life — as a young man and as an adult. The love for Toni oozes out of his pours and through the mic as host Afiya chimes in on the importance on the prolific writer's words and stories... though she admittedly never finished one her novels (something that will be corrected soon, hopefully).Listen to their praise and share your own with the Adult-ish crew through the contacts below!Host: Afiya Ahttp://twitter.com/adultishp0dcasthttp://instagram.com/adultishp0dcasthttp://twitter.com/lajoliepoetahttp://instagram.com/alja0214Co-Host: Vincent Bernardhttps://www.facebook.com/vincent.bernard.543http://instagram.com/vincentbernard_83http://www.twitter.com/vincebernardGot any tips on how to han

No one ever tells you, but living with the one you love (who isn't a relative) is HARD -- and yet another level of adulting.
