Chat & Bother

Chat & Bother

Are you tired of no one responding to your Tweets, Facebook posts, WhatsApp, or group chat messages? Do you start your day by chatting with friends on social media or checking the group chat for a great discussion? Eva does. Every morning she wakes up her husband Don (much too early for his liking) with pop culture, internet drama, nostalgia, and what's new, next, and "nah." Each week on Chat & Bother, Black, Gen X husband and wife conversation starters, Don and Eva discuss a question or topic that people are asking each other online. It could be something that you and your friends are already talking about, or it could be something that you should be talking about. Ready to start all the best conversations? Start right here with us on Chat & Bother.
