In Just Us Part 2, Greg Mathis Jr. and Elliott Cooper pick up right where they left off in their Be Honest, Don’t Hold Back series — this time going even deeper into what makes a healthy relationship work when the cameras turn off.

They start by unpacking a big question: is being a bad communicator a red flag, or can you grow into better communication over time? Greg and Elliott talk through why openness, vulnerability, trust, and a willingness to work on communication matter more than perfection. From there, Elliott asks one of the most emotional questions of the season: “What do you think my mom, Dr. Patricia Cooper, would think of you?” Greg shares his fears and hopes about how she would see him as Elliott’s partner, protector, and safe place — and Elliott responds with a moving reflection on why his mother would have loved Greg and embraced the Mathis family as her own.

The episode then shifts into a lighter but still intimate lane as they give each other live bios the way they do for their guests — highlighting Greg’s journey from Capitol Hill to actor and advocate, and Elliott’s path from Moncks Corner engineer to lupus fundraiser, community organizer, and proud LGBTQ+ advocate. To close things out, they dive into a hilariously chaotic round of Urban Trivia, debating “Negro spiritual” swag-surfing, ATL movie details, HBCU legacy, and who really deserves the win after a negative-point start. They wrap with a Chef’s Kiss or Miss review of Crazy Rock’n Sushi in Los Angeles, rating their California rolls, gyoza, and a very questionable spicy tuna crispy rice.

This episode is funny, tender, and deeply human — a mix of games, love, grief, and growth that feels like sitting on the couch with them, talking about everything that actually matters.
