Send us a text This one’s for the fellas. We’re fathering the way for the next gen — even if Ryan is wrapped up like a quesadilla, ready to crash out after the go-ahead. We tap into the fear of too much fun ahead of summer excursions and reflect on the post-pod experience: what it’s like to return to regular life once Beloveds is beautifully packaged and dropped into the world. We talk Bloomberg’s podcast revenue revelations, turning Rylew into a saint & Free into a villain. Strange intersection of trans dating ads and TikTok commentary. Also on the docket: – Is Cassie the star witness or conspirator in the Diddy’s case – Diddy vs. Kid Cudi and why people crash out for what’s not theirs – Controlling your horny & the upgrade in capacity that comes with success – Changing every 4-5 years to meet life’s new demands – Adapting as a father, partner, and man under pressure We close it out talking small talk, communication styles, and the limits of comparing how we connect.

Jeff would be rapping knuck if you buck as an Irish vampire in the Sinners universe. helping out the ladies this episode, are you willing to refuse companionship because your not willing to give a man what he wants. The modern dilemma between the war of the sexes. Idealism compared to realism. Lose women compared to a morally sound women. Moving righteously when dating how to communicate and taking responsibility for just about everything. Not living in fear, living with regret, hurt, joy, and pain.

Send us a text Back on OnlyFans… strictly for the Shannon Sharpe problems. We’re joined by the one and only Jeff, who we’re trying to convince to get in an 18-wheeler—despite the mysterious "company" riding shotgun that absolutely doesn’t belong there. We dive into the warm urine market (yes, really), the Gluck Gluck 3000, and Jeff’s ongoing role as the official unofficialsponsor of the pod—which might be very illegal. We talk card references, Jeff’s infamous Black Card (how it’s distributed, manufactured, and used), and what it means to actually have something to lose in the age of internet surveillance and digital officers monitoring your every move. From workplace safety outs and avoiding fault in collisions, to the reality of surveillance inside and outside those big rigs—this one’s for the logistics heads and the content criminals. We touch on Jeff’s interracial dating privileges, tempting him with the “N-word pass,” and the art of conditioning your inner circle to deal with your online antics. We ride the line between offensive and funny, with a pit stop at the MGM Grand poker room, where Detroit’s high-stakes scene turned into a full-on brawl—with escorts in the mix. We reflect on burnout, vices that kill your drive, and what it really means to “de-center” men in modern dating. Plus: R.I.P. Pope Francis (??), Rory’s Masters win for the career grand slam, and the absolute chaos of our one and only stroke play golf match—where strokes were miscounted, scorecards got shady, and David vows to never golf with Jeff again. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dearly-beloveds-podcast/id1545882037?i=1000638060658 Support the show https://youtube.com/@belovedspodcast?si=aMeV5YzV-xYyw3y5

Send us a text This episode, we dive deep into Sinners — the most viral film in theaters right now. Directed by Ryan Coogler and scored by Ludwig Göransson, it’s being praised everywhere... but we’re here to poke holes in the hype. Michael B. Jordan, Miles Caton, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Ṣunmí Mósákù, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jack O'Connell all deliver powerful performances — but is it really just a flashy cultural vampire story dressed up in Jim Crow cosplay? Is this another case of "culture vulture" storytelling or something more sinister?

Send us a text Sydney makes her debut on the pod, and let’s just say… the drinks were flowing. Joined by Nashjia and Ladarrion, we chop it up about her journey through dental school, surviving student loans, and navigating the college life in Southeast Michigan. We get into chaperoning school trips, our infamous "summer baby" theory, and what it means to balance life as a 19-year-old woman in today’s chaotic world. From the madness of driving in Michigan to the pressure of leaving Detroit behind, we ask—does running from the city really solve anything? We take it down south for summers in Mississippi, explore femininity in today’s media space, and talk about the male void in emotional honesty. There’s growth in being unapologetically you, but also in knowing when to change to get what you want. We talk about encouraging people to take their shot, what it was like being in high school during COVID, and whether the voices of today’s 20-somethings are being dismissed by older generations. We get deep on class vs race, why relationships are a learned skill—not a given—and the truth about birth control, pregnancy, and that age-old excuse: “oh, she’s just on her period…” Support the show https://youtube.com/@belovedspodcast?si=aMeV5YzV-xYyw3y5

Send us a text This might be the drunkest episode we’ve recorded in a minute — and that’s saying something. We cover everything from $3.13 patreons for life, learning how to really use ChatGPT, and receiving whatever the Lord’s got lined up for us Tanashja’s coming at David sideways on Twitter, Andrea getting put on the set, and Syd clears out all her baby pics just to make room for this chaos. We reflect on that Lions vs. Packers game at Ford Field, BBLs in Puerto Rico, and our favorite pirates (real and fictional). We dive deep into male and female archetypes — like nurses, cowboys and pirates — while Trump continues to treat life like a video game. Is it even worth paying bills and living alone anymore? We’ve got thoughts. Cruises? Hard pass. Nosferatu? Back again. And White Chocolate on Coulda Been Love. Also: lying in dating just 'cause, Andre vs. Free in the ultimate cook-off, drunk ladies vs. barstools, and why the power in women might just be the void in men.

Send us a text In this jam-packed episode, we welcome back Darrell to the mic for a wild ride through real life, hot takes, and some much-needed laughs. We’re kicking things off by promoting the Patreon, then diving into the art of keeping a healthy distance from certain associations. We get nostalgic about our Verdansk days, anticipating “Cooking with Fire” segment (yes, secret recipes included), and talk about getting active in the kitchen. A peek into life on the road, we touch on the chaos of tax season, and dream out loud about that elusive second camera setup. We chop it up about raising boys in 2025, the danger of hooping in your 30s, and our ongoing mission to convert everyone to the golf course. The convo takes a turn into deep waters: family dynamics, financial literacy, and America’s current protests against Trump. We're moving militantly in this media game, holding ourselves accountable, and reflecting on the power of prayer. Is The Dearly Beloveds Podcast an intimidating experience? Maybe. But it's also real, raw, and rooted in love. We wrap with talk about the Pistons’ playoff dreams, favorite video episodes, tech struggles (hello iCloud), and everything in between. https://patreon.com/BelovedsPodcast Support the show https://youtube.com/@belovedspodcast?si=aMeV5YzV-xYyw3y5

Send us a text In this reflective and raw episode, we open with the Long Bully V1 intro and dive headfirst into the most indefensible of tasks—decoding Kanye’s tweets. From the Saint on the Bully album to the archetype of the villain and the beauty in breaking those American-made shackles, we explore what it means to sheath the sword and walk off the ledge. We peel back layers in the entertainment space and examine the role African Americans are often cast into, then pivot into something even deeper: execution. Making the call. Becoming an asset in love and in life. What does it mean to always be an asset—to your partner, your people, and yourself? From being twisted up in love’s game to not losing yourself in the motion, we discuss the balance of self-awareness, identity, and transitions. There are no absolutes when it comes to identifying your people—everything is everything. We also unpack lyrics from the No Losses Beloveds EP, touch on the vulnerability in how we approach those we love, and the healing that comes with owning our toxicity. Parental wounds, adult acceptance, and the weight of judgment—we get into it all. Time is the only luxury. The only true value in life. And in this moment, we’re making it count. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/no-losses-silent-wins/id1545797423?i=1000700144134 Support the show https://youtube.com/@belovedspodcast?si=aMeV5YzV-xYyw3y5

Send us a text Live from New Jersey, The DBP is back with a special feature from No Losses, Silent Wins podcast host Brandon King. In this episode, we dive into the creative process, the complexities of love communicated through tough conversations, and the balance of strength and vulnerability. We reflect on 2024’s missed opportunities, the importance of cataloging our work, and the responsibility that comes with having a platform. From the struggle of managing relationships in creative spaces to breaking away from repetition and stepping into true independence, we discuss how to evolve without recreating the past. We also touch on the realities of the “cooked OGs” and their acceptance, broad vs. niche content, and the grind required to expand a platform. Plus, a wild detour into banking frauds, the art of mattress money, and the thin line between casino wins and a healthy gambling habit. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/no-losses-silent-wins/id1545797423?i=1000694402214 Support the show https://youtube.com/@belovedspodcast?si=aMeV5YzV-xYyw3y5

Plus, we explore the differences between female and male archetypes, managing expectations, and the self-awareness it takes to accept that not everyone will move the way you do.

From production struggles to recovering lost audio files, we’ve seen it all. We look back on classic moments like We Light The Way – Week 5 (10/02/2022), and push forward through every challenge. We ask the wild questions others won’t—like, where did all the Elon hate really come from? Isn’t he top 3 human beings of all time? Could Trump even be controlled by Elon or any other billionaire? We dig into Elon’s upbringing, his grind to outproduce his father, and even the wild world of fake gaming accolades just to flex on Diablo 4 players. From the elite croissant and Jameson combo to Nasah’s fit and his Super Bowl LIX heartbreak over the Chiefs—we cover it all. We tap into nostalgic football memories from ROHS, plot to assault Flair, and break down Slim’s hygiene routine and his first-name basis with teachers.
