B-Sides: Session 3- If Black Love Could Talk

This week on the Day Ones Podcast, we kick off by giving love to Barry Jenkins’ latest masterpiece, If Beale Street Could Talk. We share our thoughts on the film artistically and thematically, which leads to a discussion on the endurance of black people searching for love. We end up diving into our own personal experiences as black men navigating through relationships, and our own obstacles we've had to sort through to become healthy humans. We analyze our views of love growing up versus how that compared to reality(10:00). Then, DJ and Hanee of the Both Sides Podcast join us to share stories of their journey together and they let us pick their brains on the joy of black love(19:25). Next, Storyteller Tone and Justin discuss breakups, how racism infiltrates relationships(39:30), what our healing processes have been like after a break up(58:20) and give our picks for our "Sad Nigga Playlist" (1:07:20). To close, we review the different types of apps (as only we can) so you don't have to, exchange random dating stories, and what finding a healthy relationship looks like(1:24:20). All this, and somehow we talk fetishizing, cuckolding(insert wide-eyed emoji), the fine line of being "comfortable" in a relationship, identity, holding unnecessary burden, why Justin isn't making anymore "toxic" love songs, and much much more. This might be one of our most personal episodes yet, so we hope you can enjoy and gain a new perspective. Feel free to hit us up and share your own perspectives, as well as to challenge us!
