After what seems like an eternity and four days, we’ve returned with another episode of The VSB Files. Join The Champ, Liz, and Panama Jackson as we wax philosophical about all things worth philosophically waxing. Listen intently as we discuss Liz’s trip to Haiti – without Wyclef Jean – and the release of our first book, Your Degrees Won’t Keep You Warm At Night.
Also, we take readers questions from Twitter and Facebook and realize that Panama apparently has comprehension problems, Liz has the giggles, and The Champ really loves everybody. It’s not a game. Do you know why? Because it’s a podcast.
Exactly.
Sadatay.

Ten thoughts after listening to my first vsb podcast.
1. Listening to the opening of this the video in my head is in the style of “Going Back to Cali”… Please don’t ask me to explain further.
2. I did indeed think that Panama was the ignant one… porn post aside… now I understand the dynamic.
3. Liz safe passage, my prayers are with you.
I feel bad that my timing wasn’t better by the time I got back the donation polls were closed… 13 hours who knew.
4. Leave Liz alone… you know bougie black folks still go to church in the hood.
5. I’m only 12:31 in on this and am starting to feel like I am eavesdropping on a private conversation… I’m diggin it
6. A suggestion for the book promotion… you should put together a vsb action kit t-shirt, crime fighter badge, and cat mask to protect your secret identity…
7. Getting giddy about your first book is only about 12.4% gay.
8. People coming to verify that Panama is a 3 is funny as h*ll… it’s a bad look around these parts hide yo kids… this caused an inappropriate volume of laughter at 4 am
9. Leave the house… relocate to outside of your house… dead now.
10. If I ever get past the vsb probationary period and become eligible I would love to participate in a phone a friend vsb podcast… so can I take that off my bucket list.
Easy ~JS
hahah thanks for having my back and for listening!
im gonna have to figure out how to set up the VSB phone tree for one of our future podcasts
FCUK musiq from the UK…downloading NOW!!!
Enjoyed the podcast!
- Aw, I wanted to hug Champie poo poo when he told the story about his giddyness for the book and walking in the rain to catch Mr. Postman. That is so cute!
- I was cracking UP at his “me-me” for “meme.” AND “hors d’ouevres.” LOL
- Panama, yes, run (and tell dat homeboy) with the “3″…meme (yay, I got to actually use the word!). In fact, I call for t-shirts. A t-shirt makes it official.
- Liz’s giggle STAYS being infectious. It is the most adorrabo thing ever. And yeah, girl, I’m proud too. That is a scary thing to do, but I’m positive it’ll be an enriching experience! Can’t wait to read about your Haiti tales.
- And YES, the phone-a-VSB-commenter is definitely something that needs to be done. Though, P, I will KILL you if you call me at work.
*hugs all around*
thanks im gonna keep u guys posted!
I know a ton of dudes who are in jail right now because they were dealing within a mile and a half of a school. Then again everything in my hometown is within a mile and a half of a school.
Right? I didn’t think he was dealing to kids but just *happen* to be near a school. Not that that makes it any better lol. Just sayin.
Knowing the dealers from my town and the kids I actually think they were dealing to the kids… and the teachers.
This is my first time listening to a podcast from VSB and I have to say Champ’s voice is least like his writing voice to me for some reason…I was thoroughly entertained by the entire exchange and I listened to the entire thing (that’s a feat for someone who gets bored sleeping).
glad you listened! i think the champ’s accent throws everyone off entirely lol
@ Champ – “I can point you to a Mitch Albom book and you can be on your way” Love it!
@ Panama – Thanks for clearing up that whole 3 thing. I figured someone called you a 3 and you ran with it, but folks listening to the podcast are now enlightened.
@ Liz- YES! I’ve recently come to the conclusion that Chicago men are lamers! And, I think it’s because they just don’t have the southern hospitality that the southern men have.
I love that Podcast ‘call em up’ idea. It gives others a chance to communicate their perspective or, just be goofy..whatever.
Good Job guys, I really enjoyed it. Annnnd, it got me through the 1:00 hour at work.
Panama.. I don’t know if you a 3..but your voice is a 10.
hahahahahah! his voice is kinda sexy. but dont tell him i said that
Thought I was the only one thinking that.
@Champ – Dallas =/= Houston. To put it like this, I tell all my friend from Dallas, the only reason they were born there is because their parents couldn’t make it to Houston in time. Real Talk.
Great podcast as always guys, stay safe Liz!
LMAO! PJ’s voice is slightly sexy.
The way Champ says “book” cracks me up! Bless his heart
LOL, YES V Renee at the Champ’s pronunciation of “book”. It is too funny. Adorrabo.
And yes ladies, P’s voice is just…
“@ Panama – Thanks for clearing up that whole 3 thing. I figured someone called you a 3 and you ran with it, but folks listening to the podcast are now enlightened.”
Right! I really thought you were just embracing your facial challenge but nice to know that’s not the case. LOL. Another great podcast guys!
Liz, I wish you a safe trip and a beautiful experience as you help others. You are doing an amazing thing.
Guys, congrats on the books. This is huge and I’m happy and excited for you!
thanks a bunch!!!
Love the Podcast. I came across this website about a month ago maybe two and have been addicted every since. I have spent countless nights staying up trying to catch up with the post over the years. I am a single, professional black woman in Denver, CO so this site is my getaway. Anyway I wanted to share an article of the longest living couple. They black folks! Enjoy!

awww!!! thanks for listening and sharing the link!!!
awww!!! I am so happy for you guys and your book. All bull aside you guys(and liz) are so gay but also quite inspiring. I love that I have witnessed so much of this journey… there is nothing like being a part of a grass roots movement.. much like the YES WE CAN of going hard for Obama, I feel like I am a part of this. its very cool to see 3 very smart black people making their way in the world on their own terms. Keep it up…
hahahahahah! his voice is kinda sexy. but dont tell him i said that
The theme song was actually pretty nice. This was the first podcast I’ve ever listened to so I’m not sure how it was supposed to be. Calling people at work is not a good idea cuz ninjas working in a cube would have to be whispering and sh*t. Can we get a podcast about why some people get welcomes and some don’t? Funny commentary.
lol thanks. i will try to remember that topic for the future. maybe we will have an FAQ session or whats most likely to annoy us (i.e. me) session lol.
“maybe we will have an FAQ session or whats most likely to annoy us (i.e. me) session lol.”
That podcast would be the best thang evah, Liz. Go for it, ya’ll! lol
1. I imagine Champ sounds pretty “giddy” in a debate defending how Chris Paul is better than Deron Williams and Rajon Rondo, based on past posts. lol
2. Don’t come to any city in Ohio for intelligent black people. Being from Cleveland and now in Columbus …it is hopeless.
3. When I go into stand-up comedy, I will pay Liz to be in the audience; clearly it doesn’t take much for that laugh to shake its monkey. lol
hey! i know i don’t exactly live in a “city”. but copley, oh has some negros of great intelligents (no mary j. blidge)
Copley? Where is that! Beyond the grounds of Ohio State and a few Key Banks, I don’t know where these people you are referring to are, though I love my Ohio women to death!
hahha true! it doesn’t take much to laugh. BUT i will say if i am not laughing at/with you then I am so not amused by you at all. in fact, I might hate your guts.
This was the first VSB podcast that I’ve listened to! I was glad that I did. I was cracking up the entire time. Liz’s laughter was hilarious! Champ’s accent was soo unexpected!!
That theme music was just soo unexpected and I enjoyed all of it. Lol
Keep it up VSB!! Can’t wait for the book!
aw thank you! yes i like how we surprised people with the champs accents, my giggle fits, and Ps barry white voice.
Congrats you guys! Its so nice to see people being sucessful doing positive things and God bless you guys in all of your adventures for the new year.
As one of the youngest readers (I’m 18) and being a VSS I need help from all of the readers who have experience.
Like what happens if you want to date black guys but only the “others” approach you?… well unless they want to get some which ain’t gon’ happen. lol.
How does a skinny, nappy headed, chocolate get some play and how can I not come across as stuck up vs. having some standards?
Happy Holidays VSB!!!
girl when you find out, let me know. lol. i struggle with the standards vs stuck up thing a lot :/
maybe one of the guys can tackle this topic someday.
LMAO at the intro song! Nice podcast. Liz’s laughter is contagious, I was smiling when I wasn’t sure what was funny. lol Keep em coming please.
Listening to the podcast now. There were LA Riots in Malibu? Liz was on Rodeo drive during the riots? She’s so brave

OMG! I need these podcasts. I can actually work and listen to them. It is hard to read and comment on the boards as much as I would like, but the podcast get me THRU!
Um, Champ’s accent is beasty. I like when he says “book” over and over again. So funny.
I love that Panama said “finna”. And Liz’s laugh is so funny to me.
I hate Steve Harvey and his soap box (and mustache) and clothes, and big *ss face.. Ok. I dont like the dude.
God Bless you guys. I am so stoked that huny did the cover! I love huny. Ok. I am rambling. Peace!
