The Peas are back for a third time and diving head first into toxicity! Kicking off this season by hosting their first record night on Clubhouse, the incentive this season is to absolutely stir the pot. From Malcolm & Marie to Bridgerton, this episode is full of all the Black Love media we've been able to view this quarantine. And unfortunately, the lens is close up on toxic takes. The Peas could've chose to stick to more upbeat and wholesome conversations of Black Love (Shout out to our fav celeb Black couples) but what kind of mess would that make. One day we'll get to an episode dedicated to wholesomeness, but this episode is just not that. We love Black Love, but we love chaos even more.
