Join us as we kick it and discuss Colin Kaepernick’s claim that in the wake of player protests against police brutality in the NFL several years ago, the NFL needed a Black face and they found one in Jay-Z, Love & Hip Hop cast member D. Smith, who was on the show as a transgender woman, deciding to detransition and go back to being a man, saying that his time spent as a woman “wasn’t a mistake”, and the fallout from the Ed Sheeran tour and Macklemore’s removal. We also discuss Claressa Shield’s 90-day negativity cleanse, Leslie Jones asking Raven-Symone for advice on how to exude femininity, and Shannon Sharpe’s belief that agents are telling athletes to avoid his show.

9/15/26: Lil’ Durk Speaks to the Youth; Jasmine Crockett Backlash; Artist Royalty Program
After being acquitted on capital murder charges, Lil’ Durk has a positive message for the youth as he tries to secure his release, telling them that they can always change to become a better person. Meanwhile, Jasmine Crockett is under fire for honoring Chris Brown while he and Usher are on tour, and Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz are partnering with Bonhams to launch a royalty reward program that hopes to allow artists to retain much of the financial benefit of their creations. Plus, the cast of the new Tyler Perry movie, “Why Did I Get Married Again,” are commenting on how the movie only took 4 days to film, there’s controversy surrounding LG smart TVs and the speculation that they may be recording people and tracking other household devices, and criticism surrounding Hyrox, an international fitness competition, because they allowed a competitor to continue despite the fact that she pooped herself. She ended up winning, but still, that’s nasty.
