    Terrible Classics: Bébé’s Kids
    2026/09/17
    It’s another Terrible Classics edition of The Unemployment Line, and this time The Dok and Larry P revisit the 1992 animated cult favorite Bébé’s Kids. What starts as a trip down memory lane turns into a hilarious examination of Robin Harris, Jamika, the kids from hell, questionable first-date decisions, and one very important question: Who exactly was this movie made for? Along the way, the guys look back at just how different growing up in the ’90s really was, from VHS tapes and pay phones to parents having absolutely no idea where their kids were for hours at a time. Plus, they imagine what Bébé’s Kids could have become as an animated series before finally deciding whether the movie deserves to be called terrible or a classic.

  • Stop Following People Blindly

    Stop Following People Blindly
    2026/09/10
    This week on The Unemployment Line, The Dok and Larry P are trying to figure out how 2026 keeps finding new ways to outdo itself. The guys start with Target landing back in controversy and debate boycotts, offensive imagery, Black history, generational trauma, and why some companies may have lost the benefit of the doubt with Black consumers.

    Then the conversation goes everywhere, from the internet's reaction to celebrity deaths to blind loyalty in politics and relationships, and why putting anyone on a pedestal can become dangerous when you're no longer willing to admit they're wrong. The guys also discuss Gary, Indiana's extended power outages after severe weather, government disaster response, and why communities shouldn't have to depend on celebrities and private citizens to step in when help is needed. And somehow, before it's all over, they end up debating the Rapture, weather conspiracies, a Jamaican lobster in The Little Mermaid, and whether the Earth is flat. In other words, it's another perfectly normal episode of The Unemployment Line.

    This week on The Unemployment Line, The Dok and Larry P start with a question every longtime customer has probably asked: why do companies give their best deals to everybody except the people who've been loyal for years? From Sam's Club and SiriusXM to Netflix and forgotten subscriptions, the guys break down why sometimes the only way to get a company to appreciate you is to threaten to leave. That somehow leads to unlimited PTO, working from home and whether most people really need eight hours to finish an eight-hour workday.

    Then things get complicated when the conversation turns to relationships, "hyper-independence" and the idea of women wanting to enter their "soft girl era." Can you spend years building a life where you don't need anybody and then expect another person to step in and lead? The Dok and Larry P debate modern gender roles, vulnerability, expectations and why neither person should be the prize—the relationship itself should be the prize.

    Finally, a reported cocaine operation involving Penn State students and fraternity members sends the show completely off the rails. The guys debate accountability when pledges participate in criminal activity, why the situation was treated differently from drug busts they've seen elsewhere, and arrive at perhaps the most important lesson of the episode: if you're going to commit crimes, stop doing crimes with idiots.

  • If Your Students Can't Read, Is TikTok Really the Answer

    If Your Students Can't Read, Is TikTok Really the Answer
    2026/08/27
    This week on The Unemployment Line, The Dok and Larry P have one simple request for everybody: sometimes, put the phone down! The guys kick things off wondering why technology needs to know everything about us, from location tracking and connected devices to Amber Alerts and surveillance cameras. Then they turn to Lil Durk's federal case and debate prosecutors using rap lyrics and music videos as evidence, including why rappers probably shouldn't make the government's job easier by putting everything in a song.

    The conversation shifts to relationships with a deceptively simple question: Is lifelong fidelity actually realistic? The Dok and Larry P talk cheating, trust, forgiveness, marriage, social media breakups and why hiring a private investigator—or searching through your partner's phone—might mean the relationship is already in trouble.

    Finally, the guys tackle the viral story of Houston teacher Darius Williams, who became emotional online while discussing his students' struggles with reading and writing. The educational problems may be real, but was putting the school and its students on blast the right way to address them? That leads to a larger conversation about teachers, struggling schools, viral fame and why turning your workplace frustrations into social media content can come with consequences you never expected.It's another edition of The Unemployment Line, where somehow Lil Durk, cheating spouses, struggling students and ChatGPT all end up in the same conversation.

  • Unpacking Viral Fame and Infamy

    Unpacking Viral Fame and Infamy
    2026/08/20
    This week on The Unemployment Line, The Dok and Larry P are back to make sense of a world where everything eventually becomes content. They start with social media's ability to beat every viral trend into the ground before turning their attention to the latest developments surrounding Luigi Mangione and the complicated public reaction to his case. The guys debate the difference between understanding people's frustration with the healthcare system and turning an accused killer into a cultural hero.

    Then it's off to Walmart, where comedian and content creator Damon Darling's reported lifetime ban sparks a much bigger conversation. If you're filming yourself paying for people's groceries, how much of it is really about helping people and how much is about building your brand? And if Walmart doesn't want you anymore... can't you just go bless somebody at Food Lion?

    From there, things go completely off the rails as the guys build the Mount Rushmore of struggle meals, debate whether anybody actually enjoys Vienna sausages, and discover that some people apparently cook them instead of eating them straight from the can. Finally, The Dok and Larry P tackle the debate over whether meeting for drinks is a bad first date, or even predatory, and how social media has made everyone more hyper-aware, cautious, and capable of researching a potential date before ever meeting them.

    It's The Unemployment Line: viral fame, bad dating advice, struggle food, social media stalking, and the kind of conversations that somehow make perfect sense by the time The Dok and Larry P are finished with them.

  • When Your Reputation Comes Back to Haunt You

    When Your Reputation Comes Back to Haunt You
    2026/08/13
    This week on The Unemployment Line, The Dok and Larry P dive headfirst into celebrity reputations, questionable decisions, and what happens when the court of public opinion gets involved. They start with the allegations surrounding Stefon Diggs and debate how much someone's reputation influences what people are willing to believe. That leads to Usher and Chris Brown's wild tour, celebrity scandals, and the increasingly difficult task of figuring out what's real in the age of AI and social media.Then the guys turn their attention to money and the expectations placed on wealthy Black celebrities. Jay-Z becomes the center of a hilarious debate about whether someone who once sold crack should really be lecturing everybody else about investments, real estate, and building wealth. They also revisit a story about Future allegedly running from trouble at an airport and ask the important question: if you're about to get jumped while you're with your woman, are you allowed to run?

    Finally, things get much more serious as The Dok and Larry P discuss the disturbing case of a 20-year-old man reportedly found hiding under a 13-year-old girl's bed. They debate a parent's right to protect their child, where self-defense ends and the law begins, and whether the mother's actions crossed the line into premeditation. That conversation expands into statutory rape, accountability, and whether you can continue calling someone a friend when you know they're doing something seriously wrong. It's funny, uncomfortable, thought-provoking, and unmistakably The Unemployment Line.

  • Dress Codes, Layoffs & The COVID Debate

    Dress Codes, Layoffs & The COVID Debate
    2026/08/06
    This week on The Unemployment Line, Larry P and The Dok bounce between the biggest stories in politics, pop culture, and everyday life with the humor and unfiltered perspective you've come to expect. They revisit the COVID-19 response and the debate surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci, question whether politics gets in the way of common-sense solutions, and weigh in on Tuskegee University's controversial dress code policy.

    The conversation then shifts to careers and entrepreneurship as they discuss Ryan Clark's surprising ESPN exit, the changing workplace, influencer degrees, recession-proof skills, and why treating yourself like a business may be the smartest career move you can make. Finally, they tackle the ongoing Nolan Wells case, the dangers of social media speculation, AI-generated misinformation, and why rushing to judgment can be just as damaging as getting the facts wrong. Funny, thought-provoking, and packed with hot takes, it's another can't-miss episode of The Unemployment Line.

  • Terrible Classics: Soul Food

    Terrible Classics: Soul Food
    2026/07/30
    It's another Terrible Classics edition of The Unemployment Line, and this time Larry P and The Dok take on the beloved 1997 film Soul Food. But does this Black cinema staple actually hold up, or is it powered almost entirely by nostalgia?The guys hilariously break down the movie's endless string of bad decisions—from Big Mama's questionable life choices to Terry's family drama, Bird and Lem's marriage, and one of the wildest timelines in movie history. Along the way, they debate whether Terry was really the victim, whether family loyalty can become toxic, and why a Sunday dinner can't solve every problem. Then comes the ultimate verdict: is Soul Food truly a classic, or is it just another Terrible Classic? Expect plenty of laughs, hot takes, and unapologetic commentary that might change the way you look at one of Black cinema's most iconic films.
