Ep. 410 | The Price of Tea In China
Lex in the Box returns to the podcast, showing love to the voices behind the show and reflecting on her recent interactions with students during media day at both her and Anthony’s alma maters. Artesia and Frank keep things light by clowning Anthony for playing church music in previous episodes, proving once again that no one is safe from jokes on Tha Reality Is.The conversation takes a sharper turn as the group unpacks leadership, accountability, and desire, using the situation surrounding Sherrone Moore as a broader lens to discuss why some men struggle to control their sexual impulses. Frank sends Lex on a verbal detour when she asks about cheating, sparking an honest and uncomfortable exchange.The episode closes by challenging modern distractions—why it’s so hard to put our phones down and give the person sitting right in front of us our full, undivided attention.Expect laughter, side jokes, real talk, and conversations that don’t dodge responsibility.Tha Reality Is… attention, accountability, and intention reveal who we really are.Musical Intellect: Jason Ferguson Recorded in Dallas, TX @MZStudios'Tha Reality Is' is powered by Roberts Media Group.

Ep. 409 | The Oil That Broke You
Merry Christmas Realist! On this episode, Artesia returns to the podcast after being away for the past few months, and Anthony is focused on closing out the year in true Tha Reality Is fashion—unfiltered, unapologetic, with more cursing, jokes, and witty banter. Frank opens up about why he chose not to watch the Diddy documentary, leading into a broader discussion about media, and Bad Boys in the 90's.The conversation stretches deeper as the crew unpacks the illusion of invincibility—how youth and inexperience can make you feel untouchable—and how the American Dream often convinces us that fulfillment requires more than what we already have. The episode doesn’t shy away from faith either, exploring the idea that not every hardship is a blessing—some punishments from God aren’t gifts, but consequences meant to redirect, not reward.Expect laughter, honesty, reflection, and uncomfortable truths wrapped in real conversation.Tha Reality Is… growth begins when you stop confusing lessons with rewards and start moving with intention.Louies New Album: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/themeditativecoach/littol-acoustic-solutionsMusical Intellect: Jason Ferguson x Wale (Instrumental) x Freddie Gibbs (Instrumental)Recorded in Dallas, TX @MZStudios'Tha Reality Is' is powered by Roberts Media Group.

Ep. 408 | It's a Relief That It's Broken Pt. II
Continuing the conversation from the last episode, Anthony is once again joined by Timber — visiting from Cincinnati by way of Atlanta — as the dialogue deepens into growth, accountability, and uncomfortable truths. What begins as a reflection on the idea that sometimes “it’s a relief that it’s broken” opens into a deeper discussion about past dating experiences, family relationships, and the freedom that comes from letting go of what no longer serves you.But that’s only the foundation. The dialogue sharpens as the group tackles the reality that many people struggle to see themselves when they’re part of the problem, followed by an honest call to treat the homeless with greater dignity and humanity. Frank adds a moment of warmth and perspective, sharing a simple but powerful act of kindness he experienced from a grocery store employee — a reminder that decency still matters.The conversation continues to evolve as Frank speaks candidly about how much men truly need women — often more than we admit — before Timber closes the episode with her perspective on dating older versus younger men, challenging assumptions and generational expectations.Expect honesty. Expect humility. Expect growth.🎧 Tap in for another unfiltered, soul-level discussion — one that asks you to reflect, reassess, and maybe see yourself a little clearer than before.Fun fact: Psychology research shows that adults who recognize themselves as the common denominator in recurring life challenges are up to 40% more likely to make lasting behavior changes. That awareness flips the brain from defense to growth — once you own the pattern, you regain control of the outcome.In short: self-accountability accelerates growth faster than self-pity ever could.Musical Intellect: Jason Ferguson x Wale x Yung SmoodyRecorded in Dallas, TX @MZStudios'Tha Reality Is' is powered by Roberts Media Group.

Ep. 407 | It's a Relief That It's Broken
In this reflective and wide-ranging episode, Anthony sits down with Timber — joining from Cincinnati by way of Atlanta — for a conversation that moves effortlessly between humor, truth, and hard-earned perspective. What starts with a candid breakdown of knowing when not to wear out your welcome quickly evolves into a deeper reflection on timing, maturity, and recognizing when you’ve truly entered your prime.The episode takes an unexpected and emotional turn as Anthony continues unpacking the ongoing growth in his relationship with his father — made even more real when his father calls him while they’re recording in the studio. The moment opens the door to an honest discussion about reconciliation, gratitude, and the grace that comes with emotional maturity.From there, the conversation shifts into the realities of dating rejections, learning not to internalize every “no,” and understanding that alignment matters more than approval. The episode closes on a grounding note, with both hosts sharing what they’re genuinely thankful for in this season of life.Expect laughs. Expect perspective. Expect real talk.🎧 Tap in for another honest, grounded discussion — and stick around to reflect on what season you’re in, and whether you’re walking in gratitude or still fighting the timing.💡 Fun Fact: According to a CDC study, Black fathers who live with their children are more likely than fathers of any other racial group to bathe, dress, diaper, and read to their kids on a daily basis. In several caregiving categories, Black dads led the percentages — often by 5–10 points over white and Hispanic fathers.In plain terms:The “absent Black father” stereotype doesn’t hold up to the data. When Black fathers are present, they are highly engaged, hands-on, and emotionally involved.That’s not spin. That’s reality backed by numbers.Musical Intellect: Jason Ferguson x John P.

Ep. 406 | What Kind of Man Would I Be If I Knew My Father
In this powerful episode, Anthony opens up about one of the most defining chapters of his life — reconciling with his father. What begins as a personal story quickly unfolds into a deeper conversation about healing, identity, and the legacy of our parents’ mistakes — and how facing them can shape the kind of man, partner, and father we strive to become.But that’s just the beginning. The conversation takes a sharp turn when Timber and Overton step in, sparking a heated debate about the modern relationship dynamic — in today’s dating landscape, should a woman be the co-pilot beside her man, or the passenger on his flight?Expect honesty. Expect tension. Expect reflection.🎧 Tap in for another passionate and unfiltered discussion — and don’t forget to vote in today’s poll to share where youstand on the topic.💡 Fun Fact: Black couples are neck and neck with other races when it comes to supporting each other’s goals. Studies show that Black partners are among the most likely to encourage each other’s career growth, side hustles, and creative passions — making “building together” not just a phrase, but a cultural cornerstone of Black love.

Ep. 405 | You're Forcing It Now
On this episode, we’re joined by comedian Overton Spence — a man who swapped government paperwork for punchlines. After clocking out of bureaucratic life, Overton’s been clocking laughs around the globe — from the U.S. to Colombia to Africa — proving that storytelling and stand-up truly speak a universal language.But this isn’t just jokes and jet lag — Tha Realist crew goes deep too. We’re unpacking Charlie Kirk’s death, Anthony’s journey of making peace with his father, and the art of praying and manifesting what’s divinely yours(without getting your signals crossed with the universe).So, tap in for an episode that blends enlightenment, laughter, and brotherhood — where comedy meets clarity and every punchline packs a little purpose.Fun Fact: Black men are among the most active mentors in their communities. According to research by the National Mentoring Partnership, Black men are twice as likely to mentor youth outside their families compared to other demographics — often volunteering through churches, schools, and local organizations to guide the next generation.It’s a reminder that beyond the headlines, Black men have always been the backbone of community leadership — showing up, lifting others, and leading by example.Musical Intellect: Jason FergusonRecorded in Dallas, TX @robertsmediagroup'Tha Reality Is' is powered by Roberts Media Group.
