You already know how huge Star Wars was for us as a story of one kid's stand against an impossibly evil empire. This one is all about Skywalker and the closing chapter of one our most beloved and controversial franchises. May the Force be with us on this one.

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: WWK: Want top 10 songs about Trump? Nobody: Uh... WWK: You're welcome. _________ Why do we do this every year? Why do we feel the need to count down yet another volume of our favorite songs about liars, megalomaniacs, con-artists, racists, gluttons and puppets? Listen and find out.

This isn't a real episode, it's just me, Dad, checking in. You good? Did you brush your teeth? Good. Well, let's talk about those debates for a sec, shall we? And then let's talk about why those debates matter. We'll be back with full episodes soon! Write to wokewithkids@gmail.com if you miss us. Believe me, that's the only way Mel is going to do these more often!

Too many democrats John Bolton decides enough is enough Black girls can't swim... because of their butts ACLU opposes banning child marriage... for reasons. Felicity Huffman is sentenced to a slap on the purse. And Paul Mooney's sons both say their dad definitely didn't do bad things Richard Pryor's then teenage son. So that settles that. That's something we never have to bring up again. Oh and there's no gay gene, so you won't ever be able to screen kids for their orientation. Love is always going to be an individual choice.

Terrorism Made in the USA, Jeffrey Epstein's Infuriating Escape, & Toni Morrison Transcends Physical Universe. facebook.com/wokewithkids wokewithkids@gmail.com IG: @wokewithkids wokewithkids.com

It's not racism, it's anxiety. Gun massacres replace officially replace baseball as America's past time. The Dems are about to do it again. Biden's got the lead, but Kamala's closing in for the kill. Mueller testified but the hallelujah choir is muted.  Magic 8 ball, are we gonna impeach? Outcome is cloudy. Is it getting hot in here, or has the heat wave hit you yet?

OMG, I think the prez is totes racist! Also, have you like watched that totally sad movie about the kids and the case of mistaken identity? Yeah, in the end they get confused for human beings. R. Kelly is back in jail with no bond and ASAP Rocky is still in Swedish jail for defending himself--justice is fickle. In better news, NYC totally backs your natural curl patterns and the rhinos are humping their way back to sustainability in Tanzania. That reminds me, are you seeing the Lion King next week? 

Kamala looks like she might be able to do it as Biden bites it in his first debate. The women's soccer team keeps winning on field but losing at the bank but Megan is our bae. ASAP Rocky gets locked up in Sweden and the conditions are oddly jail-ish. I thought they were the nice ones, right?

I will update this tomorrow. We talked about everything. Just listen. What else you got to do but wait for oil prices to skyrocket?

Trump is in England. It's very classy and beautiful. While he's away, the GOP is finally considering at long last possibly if pressed and it's really, really necessary--they might push back on Trump's newly announced tariffs on Mexico. They are the party of trade, after all. Just like the Dems are the party of the people. Right? Well, the people want impeachment. We're waiting... VA Beach is the latest scene of gun violence. 12 people lose their lives, and a community reckons with the incalculable collateral damage.  We watched "She's Gotta Have It" and we have thoughts and feelings! Let's get artsy.  Hold us accountable at wokewithkids@gmail.com Leave a 5-star review and recommend us to your friends.  Episodes released when life permits.  

The incels attack women's right to give life freely, Ben Carver's Freudian slip reveals deep-seated internalized white supremacy and shame, while we present definitive, conclusive, ultimate evidence for who will absolutely be our next President. Hint: They're running. 

Florida arms teachers and absolutely nothing will go wrong if precedent holds in that fair state of enlightenment.  John Singleton assured a generation of kids that someone knew, someone showed, and someone cared. He will be dearly missed.  William Barr gets perforated by possible president Senator Kamala Harris, then decides to ignore a subpoena from Congress, setting up a standoff that threatens the balance of our coequal branches of our government. The usual. 

It's Ep 120 (can you even?) and there are so many new things to talk about tonight. Your boy Jussie is probably feeling a lot like your boy Trump: very vindicated by murky dismissals of crimes that may or may not have been done, but who cares, because that's old news. Mueller finally dropped his report and boy was it a dud. Nobody cares. Especially not us hoi polloi who will never get to read it along with his tax returns that we have absolutely no legitimate reason to see (or not to see as the corollary implies). But whatever. Cardi B is in trouble right? Kanye may be holding his last Sunday Service and Kiley has appeared in public sans make-up. The world is chaos people. Let's figure it out.

Yep, we're alive.  Read Eckhart Tolle's new book a New Earth. Pick it up here.

Thanks for listening! 

Happy second day of Black Future Month, the month we envision all the possibilities of the black experience through the lens and context of our ancestral journey, while reminding our paler cousins of our shared participation in the one human race. But before we get all kumbaya, we gotta talk about Jussie and just how disappointing it is to be in 2019 and hearing the same ignorant echoes of the 19th century. Then let's dive into some Trump be Trumping as Individual 1 takes on his own intelligence department in a showdown to the doom. But don't worry there's plenty of Yes Yes Ya'll to exorcise the pallet and get us back right. I mean 11 year old physics savants anyone? Let's get woked.

You know what it is G Come up off them duckets It's time to pay the people Fake populist emperor Braying let them eat low interest cake Time to wake up with Nyaze and Mel Ring the bell It's swell That's enough rhyming Oh well Can't stop Or won't I will But don't I think I've made our... p'ont?

We took 3 short weeks off and damn near the whole world is going bananas. America is pulling out of wars faster than a pimple faced prom date and Putin couldn't be happier to see Afghanistan claim another super-power. At this, Mad Dog Jim Mattis snaps and writes Trump a very mean break-up letter earning him an early dismissal and leaving no adults left in the room. Did I mention there's a government shut down too? Or that the Mueller case is locking up thugs faster than the third act of a Scorsese film? This is America. Don't catch you slipping up. Nevertheless, there are bright spots on the justice front. If you squint you can almost see the silver lining in a new criminal justice reform bill adequately titled "First Step." Sounds like it may ease trumped up crack charges and increase earned "good time" for federal prisoners. Like it says, it's a "first step." But more than anything, there's one burning question we want the answer to: who is the King of R&B and what is a Jaquis? It's time to opine.

The Dow is down China and America knuck but will they buck Lena Dunham done done it some more Neil deGrasse Tyson now has 4 accusations in orbit GOP state legislatures strike back against democracy Soulja Boy Goes in his game bag Kevin Hart’s Oscar Problematics Michelle says lean in shit don’t work Lauryn Hill is basically early to a concert by being 20-minutes late Pastor gives money from the collection plate And Jesus wept, Tiny Tim!

GM contracts Diamond and Silk are getting their own show We hope they are trolling us all White girls don't just wanna be black, they are cornering the market I'm not crying, that's just tear gas on the border Stephon Clark's brother may be mayor..maybe Lee Daniels settles with Damon Dash: won't media backlash do it? Ava Signs with Warner Bros. for $100 million

This week we're talmbout the federal court system more specifically the Ninth just blocking Trump all up in the paint with his bs anti-immigrant agenda... where is the caravan bro, we see you... anyway, that, and also, Tamara O'Neal, very sad, god bless the dead, is the gun debate donezo are we even caring yo... but not to bum you out too much but also let's go into why working for amazon probably sucks on a Dickensian level and it's all because they don't have unions and trust me we've done this part of history before...

Hey guys, it's been two weeks since we last left you. Well, we're back and here's what we're talking about. More or less. Black Women Power Stacey Abrams Recount The Slow Blue Wave Kyrsten Sinema and LGBTQ House Reps The Camp Fire The Recounts Jemel Roberson Hate Crimes Increase for Third Year Serena William’s “Woman” of the Year Desiree Warns Against Butt Shots Chad Loves Michelle The Caravans Jim Acosta Melania calls for firing top White House Aide Maryland files challenge over acting attorney general Jill Scott Michelle Obama’s new memoir Marriage Doctors VS NRA Dems Gain Supermajority in California Congress

Don't be special. Just vote Democrat. Fight the power. We'll sort it out after that.

Updated: Technically, I have now. -------------- I will update this tomorrow. Thanks for listening guys. So tired.

It's been a long time, we shouldn't left you, without a dope cast to step to, and there's so much to discuss. OMG. Did we just appoint another sexual assaulter to the Supreme Court? It's turning into a real animal house over there. Meanwhile Kanye West is losing the battle for our hearts and minds to none other than Taylor Swift. Can you even? We neither. Meanwhile, everyone is still catching heck--must be time for Woke With Kids!

9.26.18 Updated because Mel's vocals were low. My bad, forgot to turn the compressor on. This is some Kanye stuff. ---------- Thanks for listening, ya'll. That's all the energy I got left to type this. God bless ya.

Jon West-bey joins us. We don't know why. He does real things like curate the collection at UMC. He founded the Poetry Museum. He's slumming with us really. But don't tell him that. While we have him, we plumb his brain on everything from nerdgasms like political interpretations of Thanos to the morality of South African land redistribution.

Here's a minor digression in the key of family as we bring you a bonus episode of Bad News featuring Melissa and the host of "In the Black Podcast" Seun and his wife Yinka. It's a full on family affair as we discuss current events like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj and answer questions like What Is Marriage anyway, How do you do it, and Are You Killing It? So, no pressure. Enjoy. Our regular episode will be out either tomorrow... or not. We love you, bye.

Hey guys, we're still here. We've got a billion years left before it's too hot for life to exist on earth, but until then we're rocking and rolling, making love, and living our best divine lives. John McCain is dead, and he leaves a mixed legacy. Two black Democratic candidates for governor move into the general election. How did we get here? Where are we going? All these questions and less we answer on this week's completely sincere episode.

Hey ya'll. It's Superman. No, I'm just kidding. It's Woke With Kids. Only this time we've got our buddy Al from We Come From Bad News. Yep.
