The Day After TNB

Today’s show kicks off with a conversation about Korean skincare before moving into a lively Friday intro and a shout out to everyone from the previous night’s event. The team also celebrate the official announcement of The Rotation presenters, breaking down the lineup and the reactions coming in from the community.Headlines open with a shocking NHS report showing elderly patients left in corridor care at Queen’s Hospital in East London. The team unpack why the NHS situation feels like a developing country and whether the government is quietly pushing people toward private healthcare. They then move on to Dulwich College breaking its silence about allegations of Nigel Farage’s racist behaviour as a student, and a major new investment to create 50,000 SEN school places across England.The Topic of the Day is a full cultural deep dive into Dettie December. The team explore its origins, the diaspora’s connection to Ghana and Nigeria, the impact of the Year of Return, and how the season has grown into a global cultural moment. Gina gives a personal account of why she loves Dettie December, the freedom it brings, the networking opportunities, and the undeniable joy of being surrounded by Black culture at scale.The discussion gets real about the downsides too.They tackle issues like:• price hikes that impact local communities• Ghana’s slow service culture and why visitors have to adjust• cultural misunderstandings, especially from American tourists• safety differences between Ghana and Nigeria• whether tourists are exploiting local labour• and the role of government corruption in preventing real infrastructure improvementsThe team debate whether people should experience more than just the nightlife, how diaspora expectations clash with local norms, and why the conversation around development must start with the people, not Western standards.A rich, insightful and often hilarious episode that blends culture, travel, diaspora identity and the realities of West African life during the biggest season of the year.Posted Just nowLockedComments

Today the team break down the viral debate around Manny the Science Guy and whether teachers using slang harms or helps Black students. That leads into a wider chat on class, authenticity and what really supports young people in school.They revisit Pop The Balloon to talk dating standards, rudeness and why modern dating shows make everyone look unserious.A big topic of the day is the misinformation about Black men and Kamala Harris. The team react to Stacey Abrams correcting the false narrative and dig into how media tries to divide Black men and Black women.Headlines end the show with Trump’s rise, social media background checks for travellers, and the UK’s attempt to weaken human rights protections.Short, sharp and full of cultural insight.

Today’s episode opens with something special. We finally meet the voice behind the scenes, J, the researcher who has quietly shaped the show for months. Not on camera, but fully present, she steps into the spotlight as the team tells the hilarious and chaotic story of how she joined TDA in the first place.From Emmanuel thinking she was a Korean applicant because of a single typo, to him spending a week debating whether a “Black Korean” should be allowed to join the research team, the entire room breaks down reliving the saga. The miscommunication, the phone call, the tone checks, the suspicion, the relief and the instant chemistry all unfold live on air. It becomes clear that J isn’t just a researcher, she’s a force, a sharp mind and now a central part of the TDA family.We also learn she’s transitioning out of her researcher role and into something bigger within the team, with everyone celebrating her growth and impact.From there, the episode dives into Swiss’s call for group economics, with Rich and Bashy matching his donations toward building a Black cultural business hub. The team praises the movement and encourages the community to support.A packed set of headlines follow, covering everything from tech deals to global politics to UK education, leading into a fiery discussion about whether you can still afford to be “choosy” in dating as you age and whether politics, therapy and worldview should remain non negotiables.But the heart of the episode is J.Her journey.Her banter.Her presence.And the fact that she was almost rejected because autocorrect turned “Jamaican” into “Korean.”

Today’s episode starts with a wholesome clip on fathers and sons, using a simple social media trend to open up a wider talk about affection, Black dads and how love is shown to boys as they grow older. From there the team dive into a serious African headline: a major reparations conference in Algiers where over 40 African nations and Caribbean delegates agree the Algiers Declaration, framing colonialism as a multi dimensional crime and pushing for it to be recognised as a crime against humanity, with calls for a continent wide claims body and the return of stolen artefacts. That flows into a raw breakdown of France’s role on the continent, the Benin coup attempt, George Galloway’s viral clip, ECOWAS, Tinubu, and why so many African leaders are still seen as puppets when it comes to Western power and military decisions.Headlines move from Kemi Badenoch demanding a nationwide grooming gangs inquiry that actually looks at ethnicity and religion, to a cutting edge gene edited T cell therapy that is putting aggressive leukemia into remission in children and adults, and what that could mean for future cancer treatment. The Topic of the Day closes the show on a big ethical question: if you could choose the gender of your child, would you and should you. The room unpack everything from “designer baby” culture, gender reveals, cultural pressure for boys, parents who only want one gender, medical exceptions and what it means for a child to grow up knowing they were a preference not just a blessing. It is an honest, nuanced conversation about control, morality and how far we should go when technology makes selection possible.FOLLOW: THE DAY AFTER► X: https://x.com/TheDayAfterTNB► INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thedayaftertnb/► TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedayaftertnb► YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDayAfterTNB► SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/0vkTPwat1n6y7l3MOfjQcf?si=0e7daa6ca317441e ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/cw/THENEWBLXCK► DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.com/invite/thenewblxck► WEBSITE: https://thenewblxck.com► STORE: https://thenewblxck.store► DILEMMA? https://www.thenewblxck.com/dilemma► EMAIL: thedayafter@thenewblxck.com► CLICK HERE TO GET SHARES IN THE NEW BLXCK - https://app.seedlegals.com/en/pitch/c_VoSPUCwhTo/The-New-BlxckANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY?

Today’s episode was pure Friday energy. The team came in lively, chaotic, and hilarious from the jump, mixing culture talk, wild stories, and real discussions before diving into the news.Highlights from the episode:Gina’s first ever football match had the whole table crying with laughter. Heated seats, box life, aesthetic attendance only. She even bumped into a familiar face that sent her straight into dream confessions.Secret Santa madness exposed everyone. Brent called out Gina for trying to turn the Amazon wish list into her own personal shopping spree. The Dyson drama alone deserves an episode.The great hair tool mystery. A stray curler appeared in the studio. Accusations flew. The girls defended their honour. Brent threatened to repossess it. Chaos.Drug stories, Christmas party stories, and office confessionals took the conversation left in the funniest way possible. Shay shared a past era that had the whole room spinning.A proper debate on intelligence, tech reliance, and whether society is getting dumber. The team dove deep into AI, spell check, second screen viewing, and whether TV is being written for distracted brains.The viral clip on TV dumbing down content sparked a breakdown on why modern shows repeat everything, over explain emotions, and are engineered for people scrolling on their phones.E-Man delivered the morning’s headlines, including:Farage crying about BBC double standardsPrince Harry’s Trump jokeGermany comparing Brexit to the Gallagher brothersA wild misconduct case involving a drunk officerA disability benefits investigation that raised big ethical questionsEurovision drama as countries pull out over Israel’s inclusionAll in all, a classic TDA morning. Fun, messy, insightful, and full of those moments the Patreon family lives for.

Today’s episode is all about the newest voice in the room, Sade, and the energy she brings into TDA. From the moment the show starts, her personality takes over the space. We learn how she thinks, how she debates, how she flips between warmth and chaos, and why she’s already becoming a standout presence in the morning show dynamic.Across the episode she shows her full range. She speaks openly about social anxiety, about being misunderstood, about how she processes information, and about why she sometimes goes from zero to sixty emotionally. She owns her contradictions, jokes about her toxicity, and still manages to ground the room with sharp insights and wavy ideas that instantly get implemented.We also see how she clashes and connects with Brent. They push each other, tease each other, call out inconsistencies, and explore everything from punctuality to leadership to respect to relationships. Sade breaks down her boundaries, her expectations of men, her experiences with progressive vs non progressive circles, and her habit of “banking receipts” when necessary.By the time the headlines arrive, the audience has already spent nearly an hour inside her mind. The episode becomes a character study, a personality unpacking, and a proper introduction to the woman who will shape TDA’s morning chemistry going forward.A lively, revealing and genuinely funny episode that puts the spotlight firmly on Sade and lets the community get to know her beyond the soundbites.

Today’s episode centres on an incredible guest, Lisa Angel Smith, a transformational coach, business strategist and founder of The Plant Protocol. Joining us from the US at 4 a.m. her time, Lisa delivers one of the most impactful conversations we’ve had on TDA. She breaks down the difference between acute and chronic stress, explaining how chronic stress quietly destroys the body on a cellular level and why Black communities experience it more intensely through racism, pressure, weathering and generational resilience. She talks about eliminating stress rather than managing it, the psychology behind fear-based decision making, and how belief systems, self trust and faith shape our choices.Lisa also dives into emotional eating, hormonal imbalance, survival mode, career stress, relationships, identity, and how our community often overplays strength out of necessity. Her frameworks, her clarity, and her straight talking approach make this an episode that feels like a masterclass in wellness, self awareness and liberation.A powerful, insightful and essential conversation with a guest who came ready to pour into the culture.Sign up to the 30 day vegan challenge:⁠https://www.lisaangelsmith.com/challenge⁠

Today’s episode kicks off with jokes, chaos, and the whole crew sliding into a heavy cultural debate about attraction, race, and whether “preference” is ever really neutral. A TikTok clip sparks a long breakdown on mixed-race desirability, proximity to whiteness, and how history, culture, and personal experience shape what we call attraction. The team go back and forth on whether certain preferences are harmless or rooted in something deeper, with Kristy joining remotely to add more nuance. It’s honest, sharp, and full of those unfiltered TDA moments that only happen when the whole family is in the room.

This morning’s episode was classic TDA energy - pure jokes, sharp debates, wild theories, and a heavy news breakdown all rolled into one. We kicked off with updates about Saturday’s big photoshoot for TDA and The Rotation, the stress of shooting outdoors in the rain, and the big announcements coming for Christmas and the new year.From there, the convo spiralled beautifully into everything from apprenticeships to Brandy & Monica’s tour, accusations flying in the chat, and a hilarious back-and-forth about whether Wiz Khalifa is a flat-earther. Then things got even more chaotic as the team argued about Candace Owens, conspiracies, assassination claims, the moon landing, whether the Earth is flat, and who really killed Malcolm X - one of the funniest TDA tangents this week.We then locked in properly for the news rundown: the UK budget drama, a heated clash between Rachel Reeves and Sadiq Khan, global political tensions, tech wars between Nvidia and Google, the Louvre robbery arrests, fires in Hong Kong, National Guard shootings in the US, hurricanes in Jamaica, and a coup unfolding in Guinea-Bissau. The team wrapped everything with sharp analysis, jokes, and well-needed context.

Today’s episode was a full ride - jokes, culture, politics, and one of our most important conversations to date. We opened with morning chaos, link mix-ups, Brent’s return, and pure comedy about Sierra Leoneans, fashion, and whether certain clothes are “anti-Black.” From the MAGA hat to tech hoodies to cultural assimilation, the panel unpacked what we wear, how society reads it, and whether abandoning traditional languages or clothing counts as anti-Blackness.We moved into the headlines - minimum wage changes, tourist taxes, HP layoffs, Windrush justice, global conflicts, volcanic eruptions, kidnappings in Nigeria, Sudan peace talks, EU military funding, and political crackdowns in Brazil and Tanzania - giving the community a rapid but thorough breakdown of what’s happening worldwide.Then we shifted into a powerful Topic of the Day with special guest Siaka Stevens, the British Sierra Leonean entrepreneur behind the Sherbro Island City Project, partnering with Idris Elba to build a sustainable, future-focused smart city in Sierra Leone. Siaka walked us through his upbringing, the legacy of his family, why he returned home, how he built a global network through events and nightlife, and how this project plans to transform the region. He broke down governance, land rights, community protection, controlled capitalism, investor trust, and how Sherbro is designed to lift local people into long-term prosperity - not push them out.It was a rare mix of humour, cultural honesty, global awareness, and a deep dive into African development from someone doing the work on the ground.

This morning’s episode was pure chaos and comedy from start to finish. We opened with tech issues, double livestreams, and everyone trying to figure out what channel the show was even on - but once things finally synced up, we dived straight into the madness of The Danish Deception. From dissecting the wild four-hour saga to questioning delusion, red flags, and accountability, the conversation spun between heartbreak, humour, and cultural commentary.Sade and Brent debated dating choices, “donut behaviour,” family dynamics, and whether love can really make someone miss every obvious sign. Then the convo spiralled hilariously into Grenadian men, playlists that reveal too much, passport bros vs passport sis, cooking slander, and whether music shapes relationship culture today.A proper TDA episode - unfiltered, funny, insightful, chaotic, and very, very real.FOLLOW THE DAY AFTER:► X: https://x.com/TheDayAfterTNB► INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thedayaftertnb/► TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedayaftertnb► YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@TheDayAfterTNB► SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/0vkTPwat1n6y7l3MOfjQcf?si=0e7daa6ca317441e ► PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/cw/THENEWBLXCK► DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.com/invite/thenewblxck► WEBSITE: https://thenewblxck.com► STORE: https://thenewblxck.store► DILEMMA? https://www.thenewblxck.com/dilemma► EMAIL: thedayafter@thenewblxck.com► CLICK HERE TO GET SHARES IN THE NEW BLXCK - https://app.seedlegals.com/en/pitch/c_VoSPUCwhTo/The-New-BlxckANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY?

Today’s episode was pure morning chaos and honest conversation. From Arsenal’s win and weekend recaps to the madness of The Danish Deception, we dove deep into relationship red flags, family punishments growing up, forgiveness, trauma, and the way culture shapes who we become. The crew shared raw stories-from school suspensions to childhood discipline to why certain people will never be forgiven-balancing humour, vulnerability, and cultural truth-telling the whole way through. We also teased the big content weekend coming up on the 29th, with photoshoots, behind-the-scenes access, and introductions to the new TDA and Rotation teams.

Today’s show was a two-person special with Brent and Sade holding down the fort, giving the episode a more personal, back-and-forth vibe.They kicked off with jokes, morning stories, and reflections on TDA’s history before jumping into the headlines:Migration reality check:A viral video breaking down how little asylum seekers actually cost the UK sparked a deep conversation on how politicians weaponise immigration to distract the public, stoke racism, and avoid talking about real economic failures.Cloudflare meltdown:X, Spotify, ChatGPT, Patreon, Canva and more all went down - leading to a wider discussion about how dependent we are on digital systems and whether we could function without them.Sade's music habits and her “big tunes” playlistCat drama, snipping debates & house pets with agendasWhy overly positive people feel suspiciousBrent’s dream about a younger Sade (chaos)Dancefloor icks, weddings, and tall men moving too muchA funny, warm and surprisingly thoughtful episode.Main TopicsSide Stories & Laughter

The team will stream temporarily on the backup channel and continue posting full episodes here on Patreon.The main discussion centred around a viral prenup scenario:A man with $12 million wants to marry a woman with $50k, and the prenup triggered emotional tension because she felt he wouldn’t be entering the marriage the same way she is.This sparked a BIG debate in the room about:Whether prenups protect love or undermine itIf partners should leave a marriage only with what they brought inWhether a stay-at-home partner should be financially protectedIf men and women view prenups differently when the wealth is reversedThe ethics of “image clauses” and whether conditions about weight/appearance are toxic or fair gameA lot of laughter, chaos, and ick-related behaviour followed. 😂

🎙️ TDA Patreon Summary - November 17thA warm and hilarious Monday comeback, filled with laughter, travel stories, and thoughtful cultural debate. The team opened the show with energy as Gina returned from her Red Bull trip to New York and Mexico - where she attended Red Bull Symphonic with Asake and shared what she called “the best concert of her life.” The crew caught up on travel chaos, winter cold, and the joys (and pains) of overindulging abroad.After some jokes about smart glasses, pets, and eyesight woes (including laser eye surgery confessions), the episode took a heartfelt turn as they reflected on Aunty Bemmy, the viral TikTok star whose story of homelessness to global recognition reminded them of the sacrifices Black mothers make so their children can dream freely.
