    283 - Your Pleasure Era Starts Now with Ashley Cobb
    Mar 16 2026
    In this episode of The Boonie Breakdown, Boonie welcomes back friend of the podcast Ashley Cobb, who returns not just as a guest—but as a newly published author. The two dive into Ashley's debut book, Pleasure Please: The Black Woman's Guide to Unapologetic Pleasure and Confidence, and the journey that took her from podcast host to author. The book's creative structure is built around the alphabet, with each letter representing a theme that invites readers to explore pleasure, confidence, relationships, and self-discovery in a way that allows them to jump around and engage with the content at their own pace. A major part of the conversation centers around reclaiming pleasure and redefining the often-misunderstood concept of a "hoe phase." Ashley reframes it not as reckless behavior, but as a period of intentional self-exploration—one where women can learn their desires, establish boundaries, and build confidence in their sexuality. Later in the episode, the conversation turns to sex, relationships, and responsibility. Ashley discusses her experiences with PrEP as a preventative measure for HIV and highlights the importance of having honest conversations about sexual health—particularly in cities with higher HIV rates like Atlanta. The two also explore ethical non-monogamy, communication in relationships, and how setting clear boundaries is essential for healthy partnerships. This episode is an honest, empowering, and thought-provoking conversation about pleasure, confidence, sexual autonomy, and embracing your desires without apology.

    In this episode, I catch up with my homie Shika for a candid conversation full of reflection, laughter, and realness. We talk about protecting your peace, finding joy in chaotic times, and how navigating life lately requires equal parts honesty, rest, and humor.

    We also discuss:
    ✨ The importance of self-care, therapy, and emotional healing
    🎶 Our appreciation for Jill Scott's artistic evolution and what it means to grow alongside the music
    📺 Nostalgic pop culture moments, including America's Next Top Model and reflections on Tyra Banks
    💬 Masculinity, emotional labor, and why care and effort shouldn't be gendered in relationships

  • 281 - Discipline Over Vibes with Brian

    281 - Discipline Over Vibes with Brian
    Feb 9 2026

    In this episode, I'm joined by our resident problematic fav Brian for a funny, honest, and low-key dragging conversation about the lie we tell ourselves every January: "New Year, New Me." We get real about why most resolutions flop, how self-awareness is the missing ingredient to growth, and what it actually looks like to hold yourself accountable instead of just talking about change.

    From tech foolishness to internet culture rants, reality TV hot takes, and our very personal health and habit check-ins, this one is equal parts laughs and life lessons — with a little gym trauma sprinkled in for good measure.

    We also discuss:
    🎯 Why honesty with yourself is the first step to any real glow-up
    🕶️ Brian's meta glasses and the unexpected (and questionable) possibilities
    🚫 Brian's Dry January and what clarity without alcohol really feels like
    🪞 Learning to check your own habits, vices, and excuses before life does it for you
