Chris and Zha’Bria are back with another conversation that goes exactly where you’d expect: absolutely everywhere.

The two talk about Chris being locked into gaming, their upcoming plans for J. Cole’s concert, a wedding, a birthday trip to New Orleans, and an upcoming cruise. They also get into the dangers of believing everything you see on the internet, including people pretending to be NFL players, doctors, college graduates, and more.

From there, the conversation turns personal as they debate who’s more competitive, talk fantasy football, Uno, lying, social media, and why people feel the need to create fake versions of themselves online. The wheel keeps things moving with questions about financial literacy, giving people your time, technology they’d want from movies, what they’d ask their descendants 100 years from now, and which historical figures they’d want to hear tell their own stories.

Plus, the latest on the podcast, new gaming content, and the early rollout of the Out The Blue merch.

Real conversations. Random topics. No idea where it’s going next. That’s Out The Blue.🛜 https://outthebluepodcast.com/🔗 Follow & Connect with Us:📸 Instagram: @OuttheBlue_Podcast | @Zha.bria | @Mastermindnc📘 Facebook: Out The Blue Podcast🎵 TikTok: @MindMasterMedia_ | @Zha.bria🎥 Watch Full Video Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSc1PvPfhgNGWQsiw5ZQd4XZhOBXl0ExW📺 YouTube Podcast Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSc1PvPfhgNGWQsiw5ZQd4XZhOBXl0ExW🎧 Listen to the Podcast:🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-is-blue/id1674375159🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/14zQlTVswuU5m9oHB7l0XI📢 Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/out-the-blue-podcast--6543938 ❤️ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-life-is-blue-109557977/🎙️ Want to start your own podcast or upgrade your setup?

The episode starts with a real conversation about the 9-to-5 grind, finding purpose as a young adult, and the desire to build a life around work that actually means something. Chris and Zha’bria also get candid about what it’s like building a podcast when most people only see the clips—and why there’s a whole lot more happening behind the scenes.

Then it’s announcement time. For the Creators is officially out on Patreon, the Mind Masters Patreon is growing, and Chris reveals that his old-school archive of content is coming along with it.

Chris and Zha’bria discuss the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, questions surrounding the investigation into his death, his family’s concerns, and the larger issue of whether communities can trust investigations when there is already a history of institutional misconduct and distrust.

Then somehow, the conversation goes from Mississippi to Harvard Medical School and a $53 million settlement involving stolen human remains. Yes… you read that correctly.

The duo also breaks down Zeus Fight Night, the line between entertainment and exploitation, people fighting for rent money, the increasingly chaotic world of Baddies, and whether reality television has gone too far. They also get into the ongoing Chrisean/Blueface drama and why audiences continue to consume toxic relationships as entertainment.

And before the episode wraps, they talk about J. Cole being criticized for getting emotional on stage—only for more context to reveal the heartbreaking reason behind the moment.

Finally, it’s time to spin The Wheel, with questions about childhood memories, music, concerts, strange food combinations, generational trauma, aliens, and more.

Oh—and if you make it all the way to the end of the episode, there might just be something in it for you. 👀

After taking a much-needed break, OUT THE BLUE Podcast is finally back—and we're picking up right where we left off.

This episode feels like catching up with your people after life has been life-ing. We talk about why we stepped away, what we learned during the hiatus, and how the time away reminded us just how important this community really is. From supporters stopping us in public to realizing how much this podcast means to us, it's a conversation about consistency, purpose, and building something bigger than ourselves.

Of course, we couldn't come back without talking about the Chris Brown and Usher concert. From unforgettable performances and hilarious stories to whether getting picked to go on stage comes with certain expectations, we break down one of the biggest concerts of the year the only way we know how.

Then we jump into one of the hottest conversations happening online: Should HBCUs ban bonnets and durags on campus? We unpack the debate from every angle—professionalism, respectability politics, Black culture, classism, personal expression, and what it really means to represent yourself. Instead of telling you what to think, we challenge each other's perspectives and leave room for yours.

We also settle (or at least attempt to settle) another debate: What is the greatest gospel song ever made? Chris plants his flag, Bria pushes back, and the conversation turns into a passionate discussion about music, nostalgia, and what makes a song timeless.

As always, we bounce through the biggest stories in Black culture, react to the latest headlines, spin the wheel for another round of hilarious relationship questions, and somehow end up talking about everything from dating standards to Pooh Shiesty's new album, Sydney Starr, cartoons, and why life never seems to stop throwing curveballs.

That's what OUT THE BLUE Podcast has always been—a place where deep conversations, wild takes, laughter, and introspection can all exist in the same episode. We don't pretend to have all the answers. We're just two people navigating life, love, work, and culture in real time, inviting you into the conversation.

This week on Out the Blue, Chris and Zha'bria are back with another episode where the conversation goes exactly where it wants to. From current events and internet culture to documentaries, gaming, relationships, and the random stories that somehow become the funniest moments of the episode, nothing is off limits.

The two kick things off by reflecting on recent headlines, including the passing of Tay Keith, the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, and the growing problem of misinformation spreading online before facts have a chance to catch up. They also dive into the state of social media, internet trolls, and why it feels like common sense is becoming harder and harder to find.

Later, the conversation takes a darker turn as they discuss the shocking Maternal Instinct documentary, true crime, cults, and why it's often impossible to recognize dangerous people until it's too late. They explore trust, manipulation, and what these stories reveal about human nature.

To lighten things back up, they switch gears and talk about their latest documentary obsession, the unbelievable hype surrounding GTA VI, upcoming beach plans, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and Chris shares updates on several new Mind Masters projects currently in the works—including exclusive content and future Patreon plans.

Of course, it wouldn't be Out the Blue without spinning the Wheel. This week's questions lead to conversations about dating trends that need to disappear, social media habits, hilarious misunderstandings, public embarrassments, and the kind of random debates that somehow only happen on this podcast.

Whether you're here for the serious conversations, the comedy, or somewhere in between, this episode has a little bit of everything.

This week on OUT THE BLUE Podcast, we're diving into some of the biggest conversations shaking up culture right now.

First, we break down the Rick Chow case after a jury found the South Carolina store owner not guilty in the shooting death of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton. Was this a clear case of self-defense, or does the verdict leave more questions than answers? We talk race, reasonable doubt, gun ownership, and why this case sparked debate across the country.

Then we get into the alleged Diddy tape that's been flooding timelines. At what point does discussing a leak become participating in it? Does being a celebrity erase your right to privacy? And has social media become more powerful than traditional journalism when it comes to breaking stories?

After that, we talk about Jay-Z shutting down the 2026 Roots Picnic with a freestyle that had the entire internet talking. Were those shots aimed at Drake, Kanye, Nicki Minaj, and everybody else? Or was Hov simply reminding the world that before the billion-dollar deals, he was one of the coldest MCs to ever touch a microphone?

And finally, we revisit the Michael Jackson conversation following Netflix's latest documentary on his 2005 trial. Can someone be found not guilty and still leave people uncomfortable? How much should fame impact how we view accusations? And if Michael Jackson was just your next-door neighbor, would people look at the same facts differently?

Real conversations. Different perspectives. Plenty of laughs along the way.

Tap in with your favorite podcast couple.

The internet had A LOT to say after the new Swatch x Audemars Piguet “Royal Pop” collab dropped, so of course we had to get into it. From people clowning the rollout to others defending luxury brands becoming more accessible, we talked about why watches, fashion, and status symbols make people act the way they do online. Is it really about the product… or the image attached to it?

That naturally led us into a bigger conversation about lookism and how society treats people based on appearance. We got into pretty privilege, social media beauty standards, and the power that comes with understanding how people perceive you — whether you agree with it or not. Some people act like looks shouldn’t matter at all, but real life keeps proving otherwise.

We also broke down moments from the roast of Kevin Hart, especially the conversation around the George Floyd joke and the reactions that followed. Where is the line with comedy? Can every topic be joked about if the joke lands? Or are there certain things that carry too much real-world weight to ever become punchlines? We got into the ethics of dark humor, intention vs impact, and why certain jokes hit different depending on who’s telling them.

And because this is OUT THE BLUE, we wrapped everything up by spinning the wheel and letting the conversation go wherever it wanted to go next.
