So Shameless

Eight years after her first appearance on So Shameless, Tahoe’s daughter Denae returns to the podcast — but this time she’s grown, college-educated, building her own brand, and ready to put her father in the HOT SEAT! 😂 What is it REALLY like being Tahoe’s daughter? From growing up with a father who’s known throughout the neighborhood to becoming a content creator herself, Denae opens up about finding her own identity, building her brand, and whether there’s any competition between her and her dad. Things get personal when Denae discusses how she felt when Tahoe believed he had another daughter, only to discover the child wasn’t his. She also addresses Tahoe’s relationship with her boyfriend and whether her father crossed the line when he got involved in an issue between them. Then the tables turn, and Denae starts asking the questions! Is Tahoe fatphobic? If he could do life over, would he still choose to have children? What characteristics did Denae inherit from him that he can’t stand? Where does he see himself in ten years? And why is he so against his daughter moving to Maryland to be closer to her boyfriend? Tahoe doesn’t let her off easy either! He wants to know how Denae REALLY feels about his involvement in the adult entertainment and sex-positive community. Is she embarrassed by her father’s explicit social media content? How does she handle people knowing what her dad does? And why did she ignore his rule about introducing potential boyfriends to him BEFORE dating them? But the biggest surprise comes when Denae reminds Tahoe of a promise he made years ago: If she graduated from college, he would go back and finish his own degree. Well… Denae graduated. So what’s Tahoe’s excuse now? 👀 This episode is an honest, funny, sometimes uncomfortable conversation about fatherhood, parenting adult children, relationships, boundaries, accountability, and what happens when your kids grow up and start questioning YOU. 🎟️ SO SHAMELESS LIVE — NOVEMBER 27TH!

Part Two of So Shameless is here, and we’re getting into some conversations that might have y’all looking at us sideways! We kick things off with a newly single mother of EIGHT children who wants to know how she’s supposed to get back into the dating world. Fellas, are you seriously considering a relationship with a woman who has eight kids, or is that an automatic dealbreaker? Next, Jay-Z is officially headlining the 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show! But does Hov have enough hits and stage presence to carry the show by himself? Is his relationship with the NFL still a betrayal of Colin Kaepernick and everything he stood for? And if we’re talking legendary halftime performances, who would put on the better show: Kanye West or Jay-Z? Then we get into Yung Miami’s emotional new song “Dear JT,” where she reflects on her friendship and falling out with her former City Girls partner. Is this a genuine attempt to reconnect with someone she loves, or is she using their personal relationship to promote her new album? Would you feel differently if you were JT? We also discuss what a man’s opinions about Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion supposedly reveal about how he views women. Can someone’s feelings about two celebrities really tell you what kind of man he is, or are we reaching? And finally, we revisit the Diddy case with a difficult conversation: Why is Sean Combs REALLY behind bars? Are people separating what he was actually convicted of from the other allegations and public perceptions surrounding him? And should we be comfortable with someone serving time based on conduct that wasn’t proven in court? It’s another episode full of uncomfortable questions, opposing perspectives, and the kind of conversations you’ve come to expect from So Shameless.Socials:JD - @JDTheOpinionatedVonnie - @Vonnie_BTap in, leave a comment, and tell us where you stand! #SoShamelessPodcast #JayZ #YungMiami

This week on So Shameless, we welcome special guest News With B to the couch for an eye-opening conversation about New York City politics, Black political power, government surveillance, and the decisions being made that could change our communities forever. We kick things off by discussing News With B’s remarkable autobiographical memory and how she and Tahoe originally met before diving into some of the biggest political and social issues affecting New Yorkers. Who’s making the decisions about our neighborhoods, and why aren’t more of us involved? We examine NYC’s proposed urban planning changes, the concept of a 20-minute city, controversial bus lanes and pedestrian islands, and how changes to city streets are affecting drivers, residents, and small businesses. We also discuss what’s really on the back of your ballot, why News With B believes voters should reject certain proposals, and the importance of understanding what you’re voting for before stepping into the booth. Then we get into Flock surveillance cameras, how law enforcement uses license plate recognition technology, and the privacy concerns that come with increased surveillance. Why aren’t more Black residents attending school board meetings, City Council hearings, and other public forums where decisions about our communities are being made? And what happens when we don’t show up? The conversation takes another turn as we discuss FD Signifier’s YouTube video Fallen Idols: How Black Leaders Fail Us, exploring why some prominent Black voices change their messaging after achieving success and whether our community holds its leaders accountable. We also debate the influence of white women in American elections, why some voters support policies that appear to conflict with their interests, and whether code-switching and appearing more humble around white people can help Black people get ahead professionally. Tahoe definitely has something to say about that last one! 👀 And finally, we lighten things up with a wild hypothetical: Ladies, what would you do if you were the last woman on Earth? It’s politics, race, community accountability, uncomfortable truths, and classic So Shameless debates. Tap in, join the conversation, and let us know where you stand!Are You Coming To The Live Show??

In Part Two of So Shameless, we're diving into some uncomfortable conversations about race, relationships, class, and the expectations placed on Black men and women.We kick things off discussing reports of the Trump administration's efforts to address discrimination against white men. What does that mean for conversations about racial inequality, privilege, and discrimination in America?Then we ask a question that's guaranteed to spark debate: Can you truly consider yourself pro-Black if you date or marry outside your race? Does supporting Black people require choosing Black love, or can the two exist independently?The conversation gets even more controversial when we ask whether you'd rather live in a neighborhood surrounded by people of another race or in a lower-income, predominantly Black neighborhood. How much do race, class, community, and economic status influence where we choose to live?We also explore why patriarchy affects Black men differently and whether Black men experience the same privileges traditionally associated with male dominance in society.Finally, we get into marriage and boundaries after a husband reveals that one of his wife's seemingly harmless habits became a much bigger issue after they got married: she's too friendly with other men! Is being friendly disrespectful to your spouse, or is insecurity being disguised as a relationship boundary?Race, loyalty, privilege, marriage, and uncomfortable truths. Nothing is off-limits on So Shameless.Featuring: Tahoe, Marcus & Chrys Marcus- @IMoveDifferent on InstagramChrys - @ChrysChilds on InstagramTap in and join the conversation!

This week on So Shameless, Tahoe welcomes Marcus, author of How to Be a Professional Side Dude, and New Music Wednesdays Chrys Childs for an unfiltered conversation about dating, relationships, commitment, sexual expectations, and the complicated dynamics between successful men and women. Tahoe kicks things off by asking Marcus a question everybody wants answered: Can a man who built his reputation as a professional side dude actually settle down and be faithful? Marcus opens up about his dating history, whether he believes his past behavior with women has brought him bad karma, and why he once made a woman wait THREE YEARS before introducing her to his children. Was he protecting his kids or wasting her time? The conversation heats up when Marcus reveals that he starts discussing sex as early as the second date. Is that too soon? Tahoe and Chrys debate when men should introduce sexual expectations while dating and whether bringing up sex early changes how women view a man’s intentions. The crew also react to Gilbert Arenas’ controversial response when his wife asks how he would protect her if three women tried to jump her. Plus, is it disrespectful for your roommate’s boyfriend to spend every weekend at your apartment? Then things get personal as the cast asks whether we secretly judge our friends for their sexual choices, whether having separate hobbies is the key to a healthy relationship, and why some people struggle to maintain their individuality once they’re in love. Finally, we tackle one of the biggest debates in modern dating: Why do women with less financial success sometimes end up with wealthy, successful men, while highly educated, financially independent women struggle to find lasting relationships? Is it about money, expectations, compatibility, or something deeper? It’s another episode full of uncomfortable questions, different perspectives, and the conversations you’ve come to expect from So Shameless. Topics: Modern dating, relationship advice, commitment issues, dating successful women, financial independence, sexual compatibility, relationship boundaries, parenting and dating, and gender roles.
