whatisTWS
The White Pants Society began as a forum for cultural exchange. The name was an alternative use for the initials TWS in the logo. If you’re saying to yourself “self, that should be TWPS” then you’re overthinking it and probably don’t have a sense of humor. The goal of everything we do here is to openly and honestly discuss any topic we find interesting. We engage in debates to learn from other points of view and share ideas. Disagreement without disrespect is at the core of our values system along with the idea that if you can’t find the humor in something you need to relax.

Strawberry Jam, Oprah quotes, Lebron quotes, Marcellus Wiley comments, and all this while Flan is smelling himself. Hold onto your butts. I might say something!

I didn't mean to but ended up ranting for a bit on this one. MF joined me again to be the voice of reason/devil's advocate. We eventually got to the randomness though. Hopefully, you find it entertaining and informative.

As if I edit any of my episodes, but I wanted to give you a fair warning. This week MF joins me to discuss topics so random I don't remember what they were and am too afraid to listen to it to find out.

A lot going on this time of year. Valentine's day takes a back seat to the new Fred Hampton film, a deep conversation with my mom, suppositories for my daughter, and an important anniversary for me. Still no word from Rap.

New relationships, why you should STFU, and my reputation as the whitest black man most people know. White is literally my middle name, No cap. Did I use it right?

I've been waiting to watch American Skin since I saw the trailer. Hopefully, the name behind it doesn't prevent you from checking it out. Side Note: Chef Elise almost got me out of character this week.

It's been a minute. In my first episode of 2021 I recap the final highlights of 2020 with Chef Elise and discuss the things I hope we leave behind us. It's way less serious than it sounds...
