Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show served up a mix of administrative chaos, pop culture debate, relationship wisdom, and power politics in this episode. When nearly half of IRS staff were furloughed due to the government shutdown — effectively rendering its call centers unreachable — hosts warned of long waits and taxpayer frustration. Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith called out LeBron James’ “Second Decision” Hennessy teaser as “corny,” criticizing the stunt as a tone-deaf marketing move that overshadowed his athletic legacy. The conversation pivoted into advice territory when Sherri Shepherd urged listeners not to date someone based on potential, advocating for relationships rooted in present reality instead of future promises. And closing the show with political drama, NY Attorney General Letitia James rejected her recent federal indictment, calling it baseless retaliation from former President Trump — tying in her storied fight against his business empire and her civil fraud victory that was later partly overturned on appeal.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show dug deep into four headline-making stories: Kim Kardashian has launched a defamation lawsuit against Ray J over his assertions that she and Kris Jenner are under federal investigation for racketeering—a claim her team strongly denies and calls entirely baseless. Meanwhile, media mogul Cathy Hughes celebrated 45 years of building Urban One from her radio-station roots into a powerhouse reaching over 80% of Black households. In a lighter, yet equally compelling segment, legendary producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis joined the show to reflect on their multi-decade careers shaping R&B and pop, teasing projects and sharing studio stories most fans haven’t heard. And on the national front, President Trump has formally declared a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels, justifying recent lethal strikes on alleged narco-vessels in the Caribbean under the law of armed conflict.
