Hosts SHABA and Kate catch up from their newly rearranged studio, immediately spiraling into debates over couch names and a very questionable Sunday “kidnapping.” From there, the conversation takes a hard left into a hilarious rant about bumper stickers — including Mount Washington claims, family decals, and why oversharing on your car might not be the move. Helpful tips included on what’s fair game to show… and what should definitely stay hidden. The episode also features reading and reacting to old Facebook memories, personal stories, real laughs, and honest reflections — the kind you only get when nothing is scripted. Along the way, SHABA and Kate tease upcoming podcast merch and tour plans, keeping things funny, raw, and completely unfiltered.

This podcast is sponsored by: Crosswinds Collaborative (crosswindscollab.com) ______________________________ In this electrifying and deeply insightful episode of Two Talking Fools, we go beyond the myth and legend to explore the real life of one of hip-hop’s most complex and enduring figures: Tupac Shakur. We sit down with New York Times bestselling author Jeff Pearlman — the critically acclaimed biographer behind Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur — for an exclusive conversation that peels back the layers of Tupac’s life, art, contradictions, and legacy. Jeff Pearlman spent hundreds of hours interviewing more than 600 people who knew Tupac personally — from friends and family to collaborators, critics, and insiders — assembling a sweeping, definitive portrait of the man behind the music. We dig into the untold stories, the defining moments, and the human truths in Pearlman’s work, drawing from nearly 700 original interviews and never-before-published details that illuminate Tupac’s journey from Baltimore to the world stage, and the internal battles that shaped his art and identity. Whether you’re a lifelong fan, a student of hip-hop history, or someone who just wants to understand the forces that shaped one of the most iconic figures in modern culture, this episode is a once-in-a-generation look at a life that continues to reverberate around the world. 🎧 ____________________________________________ 📘 Get Jeff's Book: 🔗 Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur — Hardcover / eBook / Audiobook • Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063304574 • Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/only-god-can-judge-me-jeff-pearlman/1146861147 Barnes & Noble   🎧 Listen on Audible:• Audible (audiobook): https://www.audible.com/pd/Only-God-Can-Judge-Me-Audiobook/B0DV67HNWJ Audible.com

In this episode of Two Talking Fools, we’re diving headfirst into the oversharing epidemic — you know, those Facebook posts that turn every breakup, fight, or “we’re stronger than ever” moment into a full-blown soap opera.

We’re breaking down why people overshare relationship details online, how it backfires, and why protecting your peace (and your privacy) matters more than those “likes.” From attention-seeking posts to emotional oversharing disguised as “just being real,” we’ve got plenty to say — with humor, honesty, and a little tough love. If you’ve ever hit “post” in the heat of the moment or side-eyed someone else’s breakup saga online, this one’s for you.
