What does love cost these days?
Tony and Terrell are joined by singer/songwriter Dominic Patrick for The Anatomy of Love, a conversation inspired by his latest project, Love Inflation.
From sacrifice and compromise to peace, passion, consistency, and choosing yourself—we’re asking what healthy love should cost and what it should never cost you.
After everything we’ve experienced… is love still worth the price?

In Episode 4, “But Are You Actually Attracted to Him?”, Tony and Terrell unpack desire, physical attraction, chemistry, preferences, and the people we choose. From body types, masculinity, and gay beauty standards to unavailable partners, unresolved wounds, and the thrill of the chase, the conversation asks whether our attractions are truly ours—or shaped by culture, validation, and other people’s approval.
Can chemistry be misleading? Do attractive people get away with more? And if your exact physical type keeps breaking your heart…when do you question the type?
Pull up. Pour up. Let’s talk, because fine has never been enough.

Loneliness isn’t always about being alone. Sometimes it’s feeling misunderstood, carrying the weight of being the strong friend, or being surrounded by people who don’t truly know you.
In this episode, Tony and Terrell explore romantic, friendship, family, career, spiritual, and Black queer loneliness. They also discuss the difference between being needed and being known, and what it takes to find people who genuinely pour back into you.
Pull up. Pour up. Let’s talk.

We’re always encouraged to heal—but who actually gets to experience the version of us that emerges afterward?
In Season 2, Episode 2 of T for the Table, we’re unpacking the complicated question: Who gets the healed version of us?
Do the people who loved us through our unhealed seasons deserve access to who we’ve become? Should someone new benefit from lessons another person helped us learn? And what happens when healing changes us so much that the relationships we once fought for no longer fit?
We’re talking about accountability, second chances, boundaries, emotional growth, and why healing doesn’t always bring people back together. Sometimes it shows us why we needed to let go.
Who gets the healed version of you?

We’re baaaaack—and the table is officially open for Season 2! 🥂
In our season premiere, we’re catching up on life during the break, sharing what we’re leaving behind, what we’re bringing into this new season, and what has us excited—and a little nervous—about what’s ahead.
We’re also giving you a taste of what we’re bringing to the table this season: honest conversations, relationships, pop culture, Black queer perspectives, therapy moments, special guests, listener questions, Tony Tidbits, and the debut of Terrell’s Blerd Corner.
Whether you’ve been rocking with us since Season 1 or you’re joining us for the first time, we’re happy you’re here. Pull up a chair—there’s always room for one more seat at our table.

This season we explored body image, sex, self-help, healing, and culture through a Black queer lens. Some episodes made us laugh, others made us think, and many reminded us that our stories matter.
In this season finale, we reflect on the moments that stood out, the lessons we’re taking with us, and what’s next for the podcast.
 
Thank you for being part of the journey this season.

In this episode of Crystal Clear Convo, we have an honest conversation about drug use in the Black queer community, specifically crystal meth. No judgment. No sensationalism. Just truth. We unpack why it’s so prevalent, how it impacts mental health and relationships, and the hard conversations we need to start having. This is about awareness, accountability, and healing.

In this episode, we talk about beauty as currency, colorism, masculinity bias, dating app hierarchies, and the mental health impact of desirability politics. Who benefits? Who gets excluded? And is it wrong to use the advantages beauty brings?
Honest. Layered. Necessary.

Your favorite hosts sit down with Philly Native and social influencer Bryheim. On this episode it’s allabout black queer love. The seat is hot and so are the questions. Bryheim discusses his new dating show and his thoughts on love.

Druski’s church skit is funny—but uncomfortably accurate. This episode explores performative faith, church as branding, and why emotional hype isn’t the same as spiritual healing. We also examine where Black queer folks fit in churches that claim inclusion without affirmation. Maybe the future of church isn’t louder—maybe it’s deeper.
