They get into some of the thornier issues award shows face navigating gender in honoring artists.  Plus, is jarrett fatphobic (again) for donning shapewear? Tre’vell has thoughts. They cover all this and more!

The two also react to the horrific behavior of the Memphis Police Department’s so-called Scorpion unit and their killing of Tyre Nichols.

Just because only one percent of the eleven-thousand wineries in the U.S. are Black-owned, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. To get proof, they left their homes and tracked down an expert–Leslie Jones, co-owner of Inglewood’s first and only wine bar, 1010 Wine. Thanks to their tireless reporting, jarrett and Tre’vell were able to get their hands–and mouths–on numerous glasses of wine from actual Black-owned wineries. Along the way, they learned about pushy wine reps, why it’s better to hold the stem than the bowl, and what inspires someone to open the first wine bar in Inglewood.

To follow Tre’vell’s labyrinthine explanation of who gets to decide which episode gets chosen for which spot, here’s how they described the process:

Rules by Tre’vell Anderson

We are going to collaboratively create “FANTI’s Holiday TV Watchlist,” a top 5. But we’re going to do it alternatingly, each placing an episode on the list. 

The person that goes first makes picks 5,4,2 (more picks). The player that goes second makes picks 3, 1 (fewer picks, but the #1 pick).

The order will be determined by a trivia question, that Laura will ask. We will have 10 seconds to answer Laura. Whoever gets it right the fastest will win, and get to choose if they go first or second. 

*Also Kwanzaa + other traditions oft-celebrated this time of year

FANTI Holiday Gift Guide Recommendations

Linktree: @FANTI_HolidayGiftGuide

Meredith in Scotland recommends:

I'm from the US, but I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, so these recs are Scotland-based.  I'm not sure how many of them ship worldwide, but would definitely be some good options for other UK-based listeners.  (I know I'm not the only one!)  

Black-Owned Businesses:  

Rafiki Coffee 

Delicious coffee!  Definitely recommend!  

Matugga Rum  

Theirs is my go-to spiced rum these days.  Love.  It.  

Perf United 

I've loved their Go Bananas Babe Butter and Go Bananas Babe Bar, but my fave is their Sauce Pot Babe Butter.  Smooth and silky skin, yes please.  

Queer-Owned Business:  

Natalie J Wood

Ceramics!  Beautiful bowls, vases, plates, clocks, and other things to beautify your home.  I've got like 7 or 8 pieces of hers and always want more even though I don't know where to put them.  

Kari recommends:

Kobi Co.

I bought my niece in law a candle from Kobi Co. a Black owned women’s company from Minneapolis. They sell beautiful items that come with Spotify playlists.

Miiriya

Also there’s an app called Miiriya. It’s a store front that sells items from black businesses and they also have a section for people in need that you can give to. 

Mel in Australia:

Trading Blak

Australia has a violent and shameful history, since invasion, in how white Europeans (especially the British) have treated Aboriginal people. One of the ways this oppression has continued is in the appropriation of Aboriginal art by non-Aboriginal businesses. Non-Aboriginal people have profited significantly from commodifying Aboriginal art without working as equal partners with artists, without understanding the stories embedded in the art, and certainly without sharing profits fairly. Trading Blak is one attempt to redress this, and is self-determination in action.
