Ep. 44 | Party Time, Excellent!!

This episode is all laughs and a little bit of chaos. We’re diving into those guilty-pleasure “white songs” we all know way too well — the ones we’re low-key afraid to play when our Black friends are around (but we still know every word).We also get into the classic white-people sayings we secretly miss hearing, from the unintentionally hilarious to the unexpectedly wholesome.It’s a fun, unfiltered conversation about music, culture, and the phrases that somehow became iconic. Tune in for jokes, nostalgia, and a playlist you definitely won’t admit you love.7pmInPhillyPodcastInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/7pminphillypodcastTikTok:https://www.TikTok.com/@7pminphillypodcastCo Host: Dwuan Gandy IIInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/dwuan.gandyii/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@dwuan.gandyii
