Sunday Dec 15, 2024
Sunday Dec 15, 2024
On the seventh episode of The BLC Pod: After Dark Edition, the crew comes together for a no-holds-barred discussion on some of the most provocative topics hitting the headlines. With SNM’s absence, Nic Nice is joined by Just J, Kim Johnson, Delvin the Expert, and new host, Delilah Belvedere, as they tackle messy celebrity dramas, societal double standards, and deeper issues of justice and mental health.
During Quick Takes, the crew dives into the controversial acquittal of Daniel Penny, the man charged in the manslaughter of Jordan Neely, a Black homeless man killed on a New York subway. Was race the only factor in this decision, or did Neely’s mental health and homelessness make society devalue him? Next, they broke down the shocking murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Was this the work of a deranged individual acting alone, or is there something bigger at play? After Just J and Delvin seem to believe the police may have the right man, Nic offers his trademark deep-dive, conspiracy theory on this one. Finally, the crew debates whether a Las Vegas man’s 26-to-65-year sentence for attacking a judge in court was justified, especially given his possible mental health struggles.
From there, the conversation gets into the Main Topics, starting with Jay-Z, who has been dragged into a civil lawsuit refiled by attorney Tony Buzbee. Jay-Z’s fiery response has the crew debating reputation in the age of accusations and whether there’s any merit to the case. Next up is the fallout from the alleged cheating scandals involving Remy Ma and Papoose. Screenshots, rumors, and fiery responses all explode online, leaving the crew discussing the dynamics of infidelity, financial power in relationships, and the emotional reasons people stray. To cap things off, they get into the viral Usher moment where he fed Tiny cherries during a concert. It sparks a lively debate about open relationships and whether double standards in those lifestyles are truly escapable.

BLCAD406: Hall Passes, Hoe-dometers & Why Men & Women Cheat
Sunday Dec 08, 2024
Sunday Dec 08, 2024
In this sixth episode of The BLC Pod: After Dark Edition, hosts Nic Nice, SNM Jones, Just J, and Delvin The Expert dive deep into the delicate balance between love, loyalty, and lingering insecurities.
The conversation opens with a buzzworthy moment from college football. Travis Hunter, a breakout two-way player at the University of Colorado, has just delivered the game of his life. Yet as he steps off the field, eagerly looking to share his moment of triumph with his fiance, he’s met with an unenthusiastic and “stank-faced” reception. The hosts debate whether her timing and attitude spell doom for the relationship or if it’s simply an immature misstep by a young partner unprepared for the spotlight.
From there, SNM Jones introduces the concept of hall passes—those controversial relationship “breaks” that allow one partner to step outside the rules of monogamy. Are these passes a tool for strengthening trust and communication, or a ticking time bomb set to detonate the partnership? Just J cleverly ties the idea of hall passes to their original schoolyard meaning, drawing parallels to boundaries, trust, and the freedom granted in healthy relationships.
The conversation then turns to the idea of personal rebranding when it comes to sexual histories. Can a person truly “roll back their hoe-dometer” and present themselves as a different version in the future? Nic raises the question of whether treating sexual pasts like credit scores—factoring in both past missteps and the potential for growth and redemption—is a fair standard. The group wrestles with how much history matters, what forgiveness looks like, and whether judgments based on someone’s past can ever really be left behind.
Finally, they tackle the differences between men’s and women’s cheating, as inspired by comments made by Dr. Umar. Are we conditioned to view infidelity differently depending on who strays, and if so, why? The hosts share varied perspectives—some in agreement, some skeptical—sparking a nuanced dialogue about double standards, emotional contexts, and cultural conditioning.
Throughout this episode, The BLC Pod: After Dark crew keeps it real, raw, and thought-provoking. Join them as they mix humor, honesty, and insight to navigate the complex terrain of modern love.

BLCAD404: S3x as a Weapon, Polygamy & Open Relationships
Saturday Nov 16, 2024
Saturday Nov 16, 2024
In the fourth episode of The BLC Pod: After Dark Edition, Nic Nice, S.N.M Jones, and guest, Delvin The Expert engage in a lively discussion about the intersection of sex, politics, and relationships. They start the show exploring the recent rise in the 4B Movement, where women are reportedly withholding sex as a political statement following the recent election (00:05:13). The conversation delves into the implications of using sex as a weapon in relationships, the dynamics of withholding intimacy, and the broader societal context surrounding these actions. The hosts share their perspectives on the motivations behind these behaviors and the potential consequences for both men and women. In light of a recent conversation with Iyanla Vanzant on the Breakfast Club and her being open to polygamy, the crew asks should the Black Community be more open to alternative relationships (00:37:19)? They delve into the complexities of non-traditional relationships, particularly focusing on polyamory, cheating, and the dynamics of open relationships. In light of recent revelations that Cam Newton cheated on his girlfriend Jasmin Brown and she’s repeatedly accepted him back, they discuss the implications of emotional honesty, the societal perceptions of side relationships, and the importance of communication in navigating these alternative lifestyles (01:01:30). The conversation also touches on cautionary tales, particularly one involving Lil Scrappy and having a threesome baby (01:18:55). While having a threesome started out as a good idea, it came with a consequence, a child. While it is important to be able to have these conversations and talk about the positive things, it’s also important that we talk about their potential consequences, emphasizing the need for clarity and consent in all relationship dynamics.

Saturday Nov 02, 2024
In the second episode of The BLC Pod: After Dark Edition, Nic Nice, SNM Jones, Kim Jones, and Just J dive into a range of taboo and hilarious topics. They kick off with a lighthearted chat on Halloween traditions—are they dressing up this year, and is the “sexy costume” thing still alive? Things take a spicy turn as they talk politics, touching on whether objectifying a female candidate holds up as “equality” when figures like Barack Obama have been subject to the same. Of course, they remind viewers of the real importance: exercising their right to vote. In the first big topic of the night, SNM raises a question we all think about but rarely discuss: Is everyone having mediocre sex? And if so, are people faking it? The hosts share their perspectives, debating why mediocrity in the bedroom may be more common than we realize and whether faking it is ever justified. Next, the crew explores the 50-50 relationship debate with a twist: If both partners are carrying equal weight in life, does that mean splitting intimacy equally? Can work, kids, and daily life impact expectations around sex? They dive deep into whether prioritizing each other’s needs can overcome the challenges of a busy life. And finally, they tackle a classic question—Is oral sex a dealbreaker? Some say it’s essential, while others think it’s negotiable.
