Custom Condoms & Casting Calls 05/12/2026

Custom Condoms & Casting Calls This week, I’m recapping my chaotic NYC trip with friend of the show, "B" and giving the full rundown on the auditions I tackled this week — including the real differences between equity and non-equity rooms. I also explain why music festivals will probably never be my thing, unpack why I think some kinks deserve side-eyes instead of celebration, and tell the story of sneaking into DJ Esso’s networking event… only for Loren Lorosa to reject my custom condoms. A truly unhinged episode from start to finish. /episode/index/show/licktherapperpod/id/41260080

Serious About Acting, Picky About Dating 04/20/2026

Serious About Acting, Picky About Dating In this episode, Krazy Eyes and I get into what it really looks like to bring Hypocrite the Musical to life and why I take my role as a director so seriously. We talk about how we first met, her birthday cabin trip, and I open up about the frustration of losing an important video. The conversation takes a real turn as we dive into dating—preferences, boundaries, and how age plays a role in attraction (yes, even the things people don’t like to say out loud). Krazy Eyes also shares what it was like growing up in Alaska and why seeing the Northern Lights is an experience everyone should have at least once. It’s creative, personal, a little chaotic—and very honest. /episode/index/show/licktherapperpod/id/40947200

Don't Marry Until You're 60 ft. My Mom 04/06/2026

Don't Marry Until You're 60 ft. My Mom On this episode of Lick the Rapper, things start messy—Mia gets kicked off the show after bringing nothing but attitude. From there, it turns into a powerful, unfiltered conversation with my mom, who shares her journey from building one of the biggest hair salons in to working as a lead stylist connected to ’s Black hair care initiatives. She opens up about her rise as an entrepreneur, including a wild moment when walked through her salon, and gets real about the hardest lessons she’s learned—especially betrayal in business. Now at 65, she’s stepping into a whole new chapter in theatre, proving reinvention doesn’t have an expiration date. We also get into love, marriage, and her no-nonsense advice: why expectations can set you up, how she’s maintained a 40-year marriage, and why you shouldn’t take a man seriously until he’s 60. Raw, funny, and full of wisdom you probably didn’t ask for—but definitely need. Come see Hypocrite The Musical at The Paramount Theater, April 10th, 7pm.

Podcasting Is Not YouTube-And That Matters 03/24/2026

Podcasting Is Not YouTube-And That Matters Some days you don’t feel like hitting record—but discipline shows up anyway. This episode is all about pushing through and staying grounded in your purpose, even when the motivation isn’t there. I break down why YouTube numbers don’t define my success, and the real difference between being a podcaster and a YouTuber—because they are not the same game. I also get into why the podcast has taken a less raunchy turn lately and what that shift means for the brand. Plus, a little life update: Oct and Wave are trying to pull me back into music, and I’ve got thoughts. And yes, we’re talking about Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan making major moves at the Oscars. And of course, I’m putting you on—Hypocrite the Musical is coming, and you don’t want to miss it. /episode/index/show/licktherapperpod/id/40603895

"Don't Call Me a Local Rapper!"- Waddie Guapo Goes OFF About Trust, Love & Booty Eating 03/13/2026

"Don't Call Me a Local Rapper!"- Waddie Guapo Goes OFF About Trust, Love & Booty Eating pulls up and starts popping his sh*t about everything from forgiveness and trust issues with women to why girls have been secretly recording him lately. He also makes it VERY clear why he should not be called a “local rapper.” But it doesn’t stop there… Waddie admits he’s actually a lover boy who loves love, breaks down the difference between a hoe and a b** (according to him)**, and of course the conversation somehow spirals into the booty eating debate that had everybody heated. Safe to say this episode went completely off the rails in the best way.

Facebook Dating Love Story 03/06/2026

Facebook Dating Love Story Phillip and I met on Facebook Dating and somehow our first date turned into a whole story. We started with a salsa date and ended the night at a late-night chicken spot… where the lady behind the counter randomly started trying to convince us interracial relationships were okay. Mind you, we did not ask! On this episode we get into everything: how Imani lost 30 lbs, the good and bad of being a landlord, why fasting and I don’t get along, and what I actually need in my dating life. Basically a normal first date recap… just with chicken, unsolicited relationship advice, and a podcast episode.” /episode/index/show/licktherapperpod/id/40334955

If You Broke, Don't Call Me 02/27/2026

If You Broke, Don't Call Me This week I’m sitting down with videographer Rick Blair — aka the man who drove THREE HOURS to the mountains just to shoot my friend’s music video. We talk about why he actually went to college for media, why some of these camera men are out here embarrassing the profession, and how people are low-key messing up the creative game. Of course I share my horror stories (because when do I not?), we discuss 757 vs. 804 battle, RVA live, and Rick explains why he is absolutely not ready to get married. At all.

WTF Is This Podcast?! 02/20/2026

WTF Is This Podcast?! This week, we kick things off with a very important Valentine’s Day debate: is blocking people on February 14th toxic… or romantic self-care? From there, I spiral (responsibly?) into enjoying alcohol a little too much and the thin line between “I’m having fun” and “why did I text that?” At some point I pause and genuinely ask: what is this podcast even about? Identity crisis? Emotional processing? Petty behavior? All of the above. Then Mia joins the show and things get interesting. She gives real, no-nonsense advice to parents dealing with “bad kids,” accountability, and when to stop negotiating with tiny terrorists. We also dive into her inheritance—while she reveals her unhinged plans. Oh—and we address the fact that I’m officially bored talking about sex. Is it growth? Is it exhaustion? Is it maturity? TBD.

If You Like It, Spread It 02/13/2026

If You Like It, Spread It This week on the pod, Imani and Skuzii get personal—like, personal. We kick things off with how Imani and her ex actually bonded over Skuzii’s music (yes… his catalog has been saving and ending relationships apparently). From there, we dive straight into the moment Skuzii went viral for getting his a** ate—and how the internet turned one bold confession into a full-blown cultural moment. Imani opens up about her low-key (high-key?) obsession with psychic mediums and why she’s always looking for signs from the other side, while also unpacking the very real embarrassment that can come with simply… being sad. Why do we feel so awkward about heartbreak? Why do we hide it? We get into all of that. Skuzii breaks down the creative process behind his self-entitled album, skuzii—why he named it after himself, what it represents, and how it reflects who he is right now. He talks about his deep love for performing, the energy exchange with a crowd, and how sobriety reshaped not just his art but his entire life. And in one of the sweetest moments of the episode, he shares how he knew his fiancé was the one. It’s funny. It’s vulnerable. It’s a little chaotic. And it’s one of those conversations that reminds you how art, love, healing, and a little internet scandal can all collide in the same week. Checkout Skuzii's Music!

I'm Ovulating and I Hate It Here. 02/06/2026

I'm Ovulating and I Hate It Here. Me and Bougie start the pod right where the chaos lives—my wig being way too tight and ovulation having me emotional, sensitive, and spiraling for absolutely no reason. From there, we get into the audition grind and I talk about being DONE playing it safe. I’m ready for darker, heavier, more intense roles—the kind that tackle real-life shit like trauma, domestic violence, and complicated women with layers. We wrap things up unpacking Nicki Minaj’s latest antics and debating whether you can really separate the art from the artist… then somehow end the conversation arguing about loaning money to people and why it almost never ends well. Messy opinions, real talk, zero filters. Instagram: @imaniblair @bougievuitton /episode/index/show/licktherapperpod/id/40018615

From booking the trip without a plus-one to navigating paradise solo, I talk honestly about what solo travel teaches you that group trips never can. I also break down practical travel tips for single women: how to get around safely, what to trust (and what not to), and how to enjoy your own company without shrinking or second-guessing yourself. This isn’t a “quit your job and move abroad” fantasy, it’s a real conversation about freedom, self-trust, and what happens when you stop waiting for someone else to live your life.
