This one felt like sitting on a porch with the funniest, realest grandmas on earth.We reacted to elders talking about love, money, dating, and what actually matters in life, from a wholesome grandma reminding us that people mean more than things… to another one spitting full Miami-Trina energy telling her granddaughter to make men pay up.Robert & Mrs. Sawyer break down the wisdom, the comedy, and the surprisingly honest takes about relationships today vs. “back in their day.”Endearing, hilarious, and occasionally chaotic, this episode proves the elderly still have the best commentary on the internet.

This week’s class is in full session, and the drama is layered. We’re talking about birthday dinners gone wrong, freeloading friends who eat your entire fridge, and the art of weaponizing nudity mid-argument (yup, that’s a thing).We’ve got listener submissions and Reddit chaos, including: • A girlfriend who strips during fights—and it works • A “work husband” who got a little too comfortable • A dad who wants the master bedroom in YOUR house • And a guest who literally ate everything in the houseOh—and college tuition drama that will have you questioning family loyalty for real.Plus: your favorite new segment, School Snacks, is back! Mrs. Sawyer’s taste buds take a trip down memory lane with some classic school lunch nostalgia.Classmates, this episode is a roller coaster, don’t miss it.Join the Classmate Community: www.onlyblackkids.com00:00 Homeroom01:30 ATBK- The Culture for the Win09:51 ATBK- I love “ I’m a therapist but not your therapist”12:19 ATBK- Advice: wife wants more sex from husband20:28 My girlfriend gets naked every time we start to argue and I freaking hate it because I’m weak.23:26 AITA for walking out of my girlfriend’s birthday dinner after she made me sit next to her “work husband”?26:18 AITA for not paying for my dad’s new wife’s kids’ college when I promised to cover my siblings’?29:50 AITJ for not giving my dad the master bedroom in my new house?34:30 School Snacks- Apple Juice37:08 AITA for refusing to pay for our friend's now broken Iphone and sunglasses that our son broke41:26 AITA for not wanting our friend to ever come back to our house after he ate literally everything we owned?48:58 Am I wrong for divorcing my ex-wife over kids and now refusing to be a part of her son’s life?01:00:56 Toxic Confessions- Mrs. Parker 4 real- I Met My Husband's Emergency Contact

A single dad wanted to host a sleepover for his daughter and her friends. But when the moms said “no thanks,” he got defensive… real defensive.Then came the plot twist: turns out this dad also does something strange for some change, regularly posts videos dancing about “his fat 🍑,” and then spent the week arguing with women on the Internet about why they’re “discriminating” against him.Robert and Mrs. Sawyer break down how this situation went from parenting discussion to full-on chaos, the double standards at play, and why sometimes people expose exactly why folks didn’t trust them in the first place.Want Advice? https://onlyblackkids.com
