The Thick

Jul 23 · 2h 3m

This week on The Thick we’re tackling the realities of  parenting. We break down the Kendra Scott case in Memphis and compare it to the viral TikTok creator ChatterboxClan. We also get into why Black girls get labeled “fast” and the damaging effects the label has on how they and others view themselves. As always we get into the latest headlines including developments on the war with Iran, Trump’s election address and the Taylor Farms recall. Plus in Pop Culture, we catch up on Streamer University, the Insecure Reunion Tour, and everything in between. Get comfy, lock in and let’s go! Sources in YouTube description.IG, TikTok & YouTube: @thethickpodcastFollow our hosts everywhere at @tabriamajors and @damnmindyMusic Credit: CWatt$

Hey Thickums! This week we're catching you up on the latest news and pop culture and then getting into it. For our main convo, we dive into the viral voicemail that's sparked heated discourse online—a man asking a woman for sex on their second date. Where's the line between consent and coercion? Grab your headphones because this one's a lot to unpack.Sources in YouTube description.IG, TikTok & YouTube: @thethickpodcastFollow our guest @LynleyEilers everywhereFollow our hosts everywhere at @tabriamajors and @damnmindyMusic Credit: CWatt$TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 Intro00:01:34 Sex sells00:03:45 We love a bad movie, I.e.

In the news, millions of Americans dropped their insurance, the Prarieland 9 were sentenced and Clive Davis passed.
