We’ve got a slew of interesting topics to discuss on the channel for this stream, including NBA player Michael Porter Jr.’s comments about men who spend money on Sophie Rain’s Onlyfans being lame, to which Rain responded by suggesting there is a gender-specific double-standard in play because no one criticizes male pro athletes for getting rich playing sports; Shannon Sharpe responding to comments made by Ray Lewis in reference to Shannon Sharpe’s approach to content creation, and Shaq investing in a scholar program that seeks to provide youth with a debt-free higher education.

Whatever the amount is, it was enough for her to decide to retire from her “job.” We discuss Shannon Sharpe putting this woman into early retirement and the sadness around this situation. In other news, dating app Tea was hacked and a lot of people’s personal data was exposed.

We are back with another stream to talk about interesting things going on in society and culture, including the Clipse who, fresh off the release of their comeback album, are interestingly allowing content creators to cover their album without restricting the creator’s ability to earn money off of the content. This is an interesting move considering most artists don’t allow content creators to monetize their copyrighted content. What do you think of this levity being granted by Clipse? Elsewhere, Paul Pierce has unmuted once again, this time commenting on French Montana being with the Dubai princess and saying that women overseas value men more than American women do and that Black men in particular should seek women outside the United States. His cohost disagrees. What do you think of his take? Plus, in a story gone viral, a USPS carrier who was working in the hot sun was denied a cup of ice water when delivering a package to Starbucks.

In a display of solidarity with ongoing union strikes in Philadelphia, LL Cool J decided to drop out of the Wawa Welcome America concert in the city, saying that he can’t perform there while so many people are hurting as union workers in various areas of employment fight to strike a more favorable deal. Is this a good look for LL? On an interesting note, Jaleel White was asked about Drake and LeBron James’ apparent fallout and why, if they are friends, LeBron would elect to attend Kendrick Lamar’s The Pop Out concert in Los Angeles. Jaleel says some people can’t help but gravitate toward what’s hot, even if that means betraying a friend. Do you agree? Plus, Paul Pierce has said on national television that he is the best pure scorer in NBA history. Although he likely is saying so tongue-in-cheek to suggest he should always be mentioned when talking about great scorers in history, it was a still a bold take. Do you think Paul is right? We also talk about Cardi B seemingly clarifying rumors she broke up with Stefon Diggs, Dwight Howard getting divorced from his wife after only 6 months of marriage, and Kai Cenat facing backlash for partnering with Target to launch his self-care brand.

Nelly continues to get called out for accepting an invitation to perform at Donald Trump’s Inaugural Ball, and he is clapping back at naysayers by pointing out that he’s done more for his community than Kamala Harris ever has and is also with a Black partner, unlike Harris. Does he have a point? Also, in another instance of bad relationships gone worse, the ex-husband of Atlanta Housewife Porsha Williams is speaking out against her, saying that he feels like he was targeted for financial reasons. Is this legit on his part, or is there a need for some accountability? Plus, NBA player Malik Beasley, fresh off of his best season as a pro, is being investigated for gambling and influencing prop bets on NBA games. This can’t be a good look for the sports fans who still believe in the idea of purity in sports, can it? We also talk about Gillie Da Kid and Joey Bada$$ having an interesting discussion about cultural gatekeepers, Kyrie Irving donating $50,000 to a center that honors Tamir Rice, and country music singer Gavin Adcock calling Beyonce’s “Cowboy Carter” inauthentic country music.

It looks like Michelle Obama is crafting quite the career for herself as a media personality. This time, she commented on parenting and the importance of raising kids properly. Interestingly, she also said that she is glad she didn’t have a boy because he would’ve been another Barack Obama. Are you feeling this? We also have a new story to get into involving A.I., and this time, a man named Chris Smith sat down with CBS News to talk about his experience working with A.I. and how he experienced love and proposed to the bot. What do you think of this? Elsewhere, Azealia Banks has unmuted again, this time to give her take on the use of the N-word and her belief that white people can use the word as long as Black people continue to call one another the word and don’t expand their vocabulary. Does this make sense? We also discuss B Simone talking about what it’s like to have to budget finances and shop at H&M and not Bloomingdales, Nick Cannon not being able to name all of 12 of his kids, and Jim Jones saying that he is better and more influential than Nas.

We're back with another stream to talk about a few interesting things coming down the pike, including Tyler The Creator saying that he loves music more than women and no woman can replace his art. Is this the right state of mind? Elsewhere, popular streamer Duke Dennis has revealed that he is on the NDA timeline for every woman he comes in contact with in order to protect his privacy. Is he thinking straight? Also, Simone Biles has issued an apology to activist and former swimmer Riley Gaines. After Gaines commented on her displeasure of the Minnesota State High School League winning a championship with a star player who is trans, Biles blaster her for her take, only to apologize later. Was Biles right to apologize to Gaines? We also discuss Stephen Jackson's viral locker room rant to his Big3 players after a loss and his subsequent response to the reaction to the video, Angel Reese filing a trademark to use the phrase "mebounds", which is an internet joke that makes fun of her grabbing rebounds from her own misses, and Sabrina Carpenter responding to the backlash of her racy album cover.

In our June 10, 2025 stream, we discuss daytime talk show host and actress Sherri Shepherd talking about being ready for backlash after she criticized Megan Thee Stallion's Vanity Fair outfit which, was, needless to say, revealing. She's not a fan, and she wasn't afraid to say so. What do you think of her critiques? In more A.I. news, Timbaland is embracing A.I. full force by creating an A.I. entertainment company and working with A.I. "artists", and some in the music industry aren't a fan of it, including Jay-Z's engineer Young Guru. We get into what Guru had to say. Plus, Hollywood actress Sydney Sweeney has joined forces with Dr. Squatch to create a bath soap that is infused with bathwater that she bathed in, and it quickly sold out with resells proceeding to sell online at hundreds of dollars. Are you kidding?! We also get into Taraji P. Henson defending Tyler Perry against criticism that he always paints Black women in a traumatized light, Brittany Renner and Kevin Gates apparently getting divorced, and the internet being divided over Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI album. What do you think of the album?

For this stream, we give our thoughts on Kendrick Perkins suggesting that Anthony Edwards can’t be the face of the NBA because he isn’t a family man, Offset amending the terms of his divorce terms to include spousal support from Cardi B, and Dez Bryant sounding off with his disapproval of the NFL’s Pride Month campaign and the suggestive nature of such messaging.

Is he jeopardizing his career? We get into all of these topics, and as always, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts as well!

Did you miss us?! Well, we’re back, and hopefully with some topics that will get the community chiming in. First, we get into the Ryan Clark and Robert Griffin III saga. After suggesting that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark in a basketball context, Ryan Clark countered by suggesting that because he has a white wife, RGIII is not qualified to speak in this manner. RGIII responded by saying Clark crossed the line, and Clark later apologized. We discuss this back-and-forth, and whether either side has any merit. On a lighter note, Latto is clapping back at critics who take issue with her rapping about her supposed low body count. Many don’t believe her, but she doesn’t seem to care. Do you believe her? Plus, A.J. Brown offered up some words of wisdom to a group of youth, during which he made some interesting comments about NFL player’s propensities for objectifying women, consuming p*rn, and how money exacerbates these habits. Is he making sense?

Amber Rose is standing ten toes down on her assertion that she is an African queen, saying that all human beings are African because humans originated in Africa.

In other interesting stories, top professional video game player NoahTheProdigy is speaking on his experience, saying that his dad encouraged him to ignore school in pursuit of what turned out to be a career as a gamer. Was telling him to ignore school smart, or a matter of luck? Plus, Charles Barkley went a little viral during a recent episode of “Inside the NBA” for calling men in fraternities a bunch of losers. Is he right? We also talk about the Dallas Mavericks acquiring the No. 1 pick in this year’s NBA Draft, Skip Bayless calling Tom Brady a liar for denying any involvement in affecting Shedder Sander’s draft stock, and the internet starting to get a little frustrated with the way some women dress at the gym, accusing them of looking for attention.

Everyone has an opinion on marriage these days, and Paul Pierce is no different, lamenting that marriage is only for the poor and the old, and that there is no upside to marriage for men. More marriage talk for us to digest, and we get into it. Elsewhere, A$AP Rocky has admitted to wearing Rihanna’s clothing. Furthermore, he doesn’t see the issue with it and doesn’t necessarily agree with the notion of masculine and feminine norms, particularly when it comes to forms of dress. We offer up our takes on what he had to say. Plus, Bow Wow opened up to Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay and spoke on his experience with being caught fake flexing when he posted that he was traveling via private jet when he was actually flying commercial. He says he isn’t the only one who has fallen victim to feeling the need to embellish his lifestyle, but what is the deal with the fake flex in general? We also discuss Candace Owens calling out T.I. for being a fraud who is actually conservative despite his public rhetoric, Michelle Obama speaking on the challenges of transitioning to the next phase of her life, and a Waka Flocka concert being engulfed in controversy after a man wearing a swastika shirt took the stage.

Shedeur Sanders being drafted in the 5th round of the NFL Draft was crazy and had all sorts of things going on, including talks of collusion and a prank being played on him by the son of an NFL GM who pretended to be a part of the New Orleans Saints and draft him. We couldn’t pass up speaking on it ourselves. There were also some interesting comments made by Ari Lennox, who gave fans a glimpse into her personal life by expounding on experimenting with dating women. She says she gave it a try, but ultimately couldn’t do it and went back to doing what she knows: dating men. At the risk of getting a bit controversial, we give our thoughts on what she said and testing the gender waters of dating. Plus, Diddy’s defense is gearing up for a mighty test when his trial begins May 12, and part of that defense involves the claim that Diddy isn’t a creep, but he is a swinger. Is being a swinger a legit defense? We also talk about 50 Cent once again being a troll, this time toward Beyonce because of low Cowboy Carter ticket sales, Brittany Renner’s old comments about not wanting to date Muslim men resurfacing in the wake of her apparent relationship with Kevin Gates, and madness as the Minecraft movie is set to hold block party theater screenings despite a whole lot of pandemonium and popcorn throwing by audiences at theaters to see the movie.

Tracee Ellis Ross hopped onto Michelle Obama’s podcast and they got a little into her personal life, including her revelation that she prefers to date younger men because men her age have beliefs on relationships that amount to toxic masculinity. She says younger men aren’t as stoked in the old toxic ways. Do you agree with her? On the music front, Akon is on the verge of dripping out the start of what will be his entire catalog re-recorded as country music complete with star country collaborations. Is this a good look for Akon, and what can it signify for the perception of black music? Plus, there is some drama brewing with the Jay-Z-backed Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment at Long Island University (LIU) Brooklyn, with many people saying they were sold a fake bag of goods when the school promised them a “debt-free education” when in fact they still incurred debt because the school merely offered them a tuition-free education. Many feel swindled. Should the school be held accountability for falsely misleading people into thinking they’d go through school completely debt-free? What are the ramifications of this? We also discuss Shannon Sharpe revealing explicit text messages to vindicate himself after being accused of sexual assault, DeMar Derozan getting into a scuffle at a restaurant with a man who tried to record him without permission, and A.J. Brown responding on social media to his car being stolen.

Isiah Thomas unmuted during a segment of NBA TV when viewing LeBron James warming up before a game shirtless, saying that professionalism in the NBA has gone down and he wouldn’t have a problem with LeBron being fined for displaying said lack of professionalism. Does he have a point, and does this extend beyond the NBA to everyday life? Also, Ne-Yo is commenting further on the parameters of his polyamorous relationship, saying that while he doesn’t force anyone into anything, he is the only man in his setup. His girlfriends cannot see other men. Is this reasonable? Plus, Kash Doll is going viral for all of the wrong reasons, recording a video of herself pretending to wipe her nose with a $20 bill at an NBA game. While clearly a flex attempt, she is being roasted for all of the reasons you’d suspect. Is she getting what she deserves? We also talk about college football’s evolving landscape amid the fallout of QB Nico Nico Iamaleava leaving Tennessee after asking for more money and Marcus Freeman’s response, the similarities between Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and the current US-China trade war, and the hoopla over the all-female Blue Origins space mission.
