The Jigsaw

Both Things Are True

We are human. As humans are believed to be created in the image of God, there are many facets to us—parts that some have seen and others haven’t. These are parts that we are ashamed of and keep hidden away. However, various sides of us make us who we are.

 

In this episode of Jigsaw, Josh and Bryan delve into their personal journeys as multi-hyphenated and multifaceted men. They share how they've navigated and embraced the various parts of themselves, both the best and the worst. These untold stories are ones you won't want to miss.

Black Flags, White Flags, Green Flags, Red Flags

It’s still Black History Month, and one thing we love is a good captivating story. Unless you’ve been living under a rock or don’t have social media, you’ve seen or heard of the messy story about a woman dating, marrying and divorcing a pathological liar. Sadly, a lot of folks can say they’ve done the same. Ouch. 

 

 

On this episode of the Jigsaw, Josh & Bryan discuss Reesa Tessa’s saga of Who TF Did I Marry? and break down relationship red flags, flaws, and ways to avoid making bad decisions.

You Can't Gentle Parent Ungentle Kids (feat. Jacquelyn Rodgers)

Parenting: a process of raising, promoting, and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development of a child to an adult and across the lifespan. For all those parents out there, we know it’s a tough and thankless job. And if parents are honest, parenthood is the ghettoest hood in the world.

Don't Poke The Bear

Happy Negro Appreciation Month! You don’t normally like to start the month off with no mess, but sometimes life can get messy. Especially in regards to relationships and conflicts with others. The question is, how do we deal with interactions with people we just don’t get along with?

 

On this episode of the Jigsaw, Josh & Bryan discuss Beefs. Using recent lyrical tussle between Megan the Stallion and Nicki Minaj, the guys breakdown their thoughts on the specific beef, but how they deal with subliminal attacks, interpersonal disputes, if beefs can actually be resolved or if they even need to. Also, here the Casanegros thought on the Usher Bowl.
