  • AFTER HOURS: Accepting Flaws | The Underground Lounge
    Jun 29 2025

    In this unpredictable After Hours episode of The Underground Lounge, things get personal, hilarious, and a little chaotic, just the way we like it. Holly opens with a story about pool parties gone wrong, including getting thrown in fully dressed and nearly drowning with her heels on. Spank and Lou join the mix, with Lou checking in remotely from Atlanta and celebrating the anniversary of his NBA draft. The gang dishes out real advice for young athletes entering the league and touches on the importance of financial literacy, choosing the right circle, and avoiding Instagram models.

    From there, the conversation spirals, in the best way. Holly gets deep and vulnerable, asking the guys what non-physical traits make a woman more attractive. What follows is a candid back-and-forth about femininity, communication styles, the art of cooking for your man, and why sometimes saying less can be more. Lou and Spank weigh in with real game, and Holly admits she might be a little “wordy,” but she’s working on it.

    The conversation shifts to cheating, who does it more, who hides it better, and why the real MVPs might be the ones who never get caught. Holly gets honest about past mistakes, growth, and how her dad set the standard high when it comes to love and relationships. The group also explores how childhood, divorce, and strong parental figures shape how people love (or don’t).

    Then, it’s club confession time. From getting kicked out of clubs for fighting, bottle mishaps, and wild bathroom run-ins, to exes dragging people out mid-swag-surf, no one is safe from the stories flying around the Lounge. Spank and Lou drop gems about what makes a woman stand out in a sea of bottle girls and party vibes, while Holly reminds everyone that sometimes being the “funny homegirl” still comes with smoke.

    By the end, it’s part comedy, part therapy, and all vibes, with the crew laughing at their pasts, unpacking their truths, and giving just enough messy detail to keep things spicy. This episode is for anyone who’s ever been in love, been thrown out of a club, or both, sometimes on the same night.

  • Breaking The Playbook W/Joy Taylor | The Underground Lounge S2 E.33
    Jun 25 2025

    Joy Taylor enters the Underground Lounge and makes one thing clear from the jump, she’s not here to play it safe. In a world where being seen and heard as a woman in sports can feel like walking a tightrope, Joy talks candidly about the highs, lows, and calculated risks it took to build her voice into a platform of power.

    The conversation kicks off with her early grind: how she carved out her lane in sports talk radio, built credibility in a male-dominated arena, and stayed true to herself while navigating rooms that often underestimated her.

    But it’s not just about sports and success. The Lounge dives into the emotional layers, what it means to be a confident woman in a world that often labels confidence as arrogance. Joy opens up about protecting her peace, maintaining boundaries in relationships and business, and why emotional intelligence is just as important as strategy.

    She doesn’t shy away from calling out the double standards, whether it's the way women are judged for their looks or tone, or how men sometimes confuse being challenged with being disrespected. There’s real talk about power dynamics, the myth of the “intimidating woman,” and how Joy handles criticism with equal parts grace and grit.

    And of course, it wouldn’t be the Lounge without laughs. The crew gets into some wild hypotheticals, dating debates, and Joy’s unfiltered thoughts on everything from DM etiquette to the art of saying less and watching more. She shows us that intelligence, confidence, and sensuality can all exist in the same package, and that package doesn’t owe you softness just to make you comfortable.

    This episode is part masterclass, part therapy session, and part comedy hour, with a guest who’s lived it, earned it, and now owns it.

  • AFTER HOURS: To Each Their Own | The Underground Lounge
    Jun 22 2025

    In this raw and unfiltered After Hours edition of The Underground Lounge, Holly hosts a no-holds-barred convo covering everything from Father’s Day frustrations to Instagram relationship politics. The episode kicks off with a debate about women’s travel highlights on IG—are they a turn-on or a red flag? That sparks a deeper discussion about how social media shapes assumptions in dating and how people present themselves online.

    Things take a serious turn as the crew opens up about Father’s Day. The guys reflect on feeling overlooked despite being present and committed dads. Effort matters more than expensive gifts, and if fathers won’t be properly celebrated, maybe it’s time to rethink the holiday altogether.

    From there, the conversation gets spicy. The group unpacks the expectations around fly-outs, what happens when someone gets flown out and sex isn’t on the table? They explore personal stories, double standards, and the fine line between entitlement and intention.


    The episode ends with a reminder of why The Underground Lounge exists: real talk without the gossip. The crew reinforces that they’re not here to chase viral moments by tearing people down, but to create a space where the conversation feels like a lounge full of friends vibing, learning, and laughing together.


    If you're into unfiltered truth, hilarious takes, and the kind of conversation that keeps it 100 whether it’s light or heavy—this After Hours episode is a must-watch.
