Happy New Year Oreo Gang! Before the main topic of discussion begins, the Oreos give their opinion on the show Bridgerton, America's obsession with white and black interracial relationships and whether they achieved their 2020 goals. To go along with the New Year theme, the trio discusses the societal deadlines that they feel pressured to make, where they got them from and question if they can ever be a good thing. The conversation also includes luck as a factor of success, the issue with only celebrating success at a young age and how to address these deadlines going forward. The Oreos talk about what they thought they would have by now that they don't before reading listener responses to the subject.

In this episode, Amari sits down for a one-on-one conversation with Anjali Vats, an Associate Professor at Boston College teaching courses in race, rhetoric, law, and media studies. Together they get to talking about all the ways Intellectual Property law and race intersect and how the system designed to protect the works of creators actually does little for Black and Brown people. (Shocking.) Amari also gets the chance to ask Vats about her latest book, "The Color of Creatorship: Intellectual Property, Race, and the Making of Americans," which explores how Intellectual Property in the U.S. works to form American ideals around race, citizenship, and property.

Warren talks about being in touch with your feelings as a black man and being in therapy.

In this NSFW episode, the Oreos ask, “what is the definition of a hoe?” and “what is a hoe phase and should we all have one?” The discussion leads to the gender bias of the word “hoe,” personal stories of being called a hoe in school as well as the Oreos giving insight into their own “hoe phases.” The hosts also give encouragement into checking your mental health and societal pressure before you take part in a hoe phase before ending the show on men making it difficult to even have a hoe phase and the rules on how not to get attached in hoe culture.

The Oreos are discussing all things career for millennials! The conversation starts off with facts on millennials being most affected by the coronavirus pandemic, what millennials want from their jobs and how their generation differs from their parents.

Sexism, racism, bullying, not relating to coworkers, being the only black person on your team, being underpaid and struggling to get promoted all make their way into the dialogue. The discussion ends with things the Oreos have learned so far in their career and what they hope and now consider for future employment.
