The Context of White Supremacy welcomes the return of Dr. Kenneth O'Reilly for his fourth appearance on the program. As the author of the essential texts Racial Matters: The FBI's Secret File on Black America, 1960-1972 and Nixon's Piano, Dr. O'Reilly's work is so foundational that Dr. Frances Cress Welsing stipulated in The Isis Papers that no White or non-white person is authorized to discuss the System of White Supremacy without having read Racial Matters. While originally scheduled to debunk the "anti-racist" mythology surrounding President John 'Fox' Kennedy, this session pivots to a stunning new discovery: The FBI's secret files on Dr. Frances Cress Welsing herself. Gus T. Renegade & Dr. O'Reilly analyze incomplete original reports showing the FBI began surveilling Dr. Welsing as early as 1954—when she was a 19-year-old black teen in Chicago. We examine why government Race Soldiers deemed her a person of interest 15 years before the Cress Theory of Color Confrontation was even penned, and discuss how Black informants like William O'Neal and Ernest C. Withers were coerced and manipulated to support the FBI's broader war on Black thought. #KeysToTheColors #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

What happens in early childhood classrooms doesn't stay there—it shows up every day in K–12 schools. In this episode of Teach Me, Teacher, I sit down with Robert Cordero and Tara Gardner to unpack what "universal child care" in New York City really means—not just as a policy idea, but as a lived reality for families, providers, and educators. If you missed part one, check it out here.  We dig into why child care has become both a moral and economic imperative in a city shaped by poverty, workforce demands, and persistent child care deserts. From recent investments and pilot programs to the deeper structural challenges beneath them, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what's working—and what isn't. At the center of it all is a workforce crisis: tens of thousands of educators needed, a system heavily reliant on underpaid Black and Brown women, and a widening gap between Department of Education salaries and community-based providers. We wrestle with the uncomfortable question—can you build a "universal" system on an inequitable foundation? We also explore potential solutions, from free higher education pathways to the hard realities of funding, staffing, and political will. And finally, we zoom out: where is New York leading the way, where is it falling short, and what truths do we still need to confront if we want a system that truly supports children, families, and the educators who serve them? This episode challenges educators to see child care not as a separate issue—but as the foundation everything else is built on.

When musician Chris Dowd was 19, shortly after graduating from high school, his band Fishbone got signed to Columbia Records. The group was made up of Black teenagers in Los Angeles, who combined several musical genres—funk, punk, ska, metal, reggae—into a new exciting sound in the late 70's. They influenced countless other bands but struggled to find lasting commercial success.This week on the show, Chris talks to Anna Sale about being a teenage rock pioneer who stepped away from the group in 1994. He also discusses his close friendship with the late Jeff Buckley, his trouble with alcoholism after Jeff's death, and what it's been like to rejoin Fishbone and go on tour.

Hollywood Is Broken—And That's Why Zachary Levi Is Building Something New Actor, entrepreneur, and faith-driven creator Zachary Levi (Chuck, Shazam!) sits down with Justin Forman at SXSW to pull back the curtain on Hollywood, authentic storytelling, and his bold new venture: Wyldwood—an independent studio and intentional community designed to fix what's broken in entertainment and in the way we live. From the untold true story of Sarah Rector—a 10-year-old Black girl in early 1900s Tulsa who prayed over her land, struck oil, and became the richest woman in America—to the AI flood rising around us, Zachary shares why he believes faith-driven creators are called to build arks, not abandon ship. Key Topics •       Sarah's Oil: The remarkable true story of a 10-year-old girl whose childlike faith turned 160 acres into the largest pure oil reserve in North America •       Why excellent storytelling—not preaching—is how faith gets metabolized by culture •       Zachary's faith journey: from near-suicidal darkness eight years ago to a deeper, wider, more grace-filled walk with God •       The identity trap: what acting taught him about separating your work from your worth •       Wyldwood: building a modern-day Hershey, Pennsylvania for artists—intentional community, redemptive storytelling, and an answer to AI •       Why AI is a biblical flood—and why that's the reason to build, not retreat Notable Quotes "When I started working in Hollywood and I got my first look behind the curtain and I saw how all the sausage was made, I was heartbroken because I care too much about other human beings and excellence to find myself working in an industry that doesn't care about either of those things." — Zachary Levi "There is a way to get messaging in your art that is not proselytizing. There's a way. And that is the way." — Zachary Levi "A biblical flood is coming. It's not rain, it is technology. And the ground is already permeating. The water is rising." — Zachary Levi

Dr. Alex Gee welcomes two of the most important creatives in the development of The Center of Black Excellence, Rev. Lilada Gee and Rafeeq Asad. They discuss their roles in the innovative design and aesthetic of the building. Rev. Lilada is the co-founder and interior decorator, and Rafeeq is the chief architect that worked to infuse a visceral Blackness into the building design.  Hear about the deep cultural thought and feeling that went into the design, including the fight needed for keeping Blackness in the visual aesthetic. It was important to infuse the space with the Black excellence that The Center claims and make sure that is felt by those in the Black community. The building and its vision needed to express to the Black community that they mattered once they entered the space.  theblackcenter.org alexgee.com Support the Show: patreon.com/blacklikeme

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Lynn Richardson. Renowned financial literacy expert, educator, and entrepreneur—joins Rushion McDonald for a wide-ranging, practical conversation about money mindset, financial mistakes, entrepreneurship, tax strategy, multiple streams of income, and estate planning. Blending personal storytelling with direct instruction, Dr. Lynn breaks down why many people struggle financially despite earning good money, and why education, planning, and conversation—not income alone—are the keys to wealth-building, particularly within the Black community. Her tone is candid, no‑nonsense, and empowering—earning her self-described reputation as the “Madea of money.” Purpose of the Interview The interview is designed to: Normalize “money-making conversations” in households, businesses, and communities Challenge myths about income, success, and financial security Educate listeners on practical, legal strategies for budgeting, taxes, business structure, and generational wealth Encourage financial transparency, planning, and action, especially among entrepreneurs and families Shift mindset from survival and spending to strategy and stewardship At its core, the interview reinforces that financial empowerment starts with education and honest dialogue—not luck, prayer alone, or higher income. Key Takeaways 1. More Money Does Not Fix Money Problems Dr. Lynn explains that earning more without changing behavior and mindset only magnifies financial issues. She shares her own journey of making tens of thousands per month while still living paycheck-to-Monday. Core lesson: Income is not the problem—money management is. 2. Silence and Shame Keep People Financially Stuck Many people avoid addressing financial trouble due to pride, fear, or cultural conditioning (“don’t air dirty laundry”). Dr. Lynn emphasizes that the first step to financial recovery is speaking up and facing reality. Core lesson:Financial healing begins with honesty—not hiding. 3. Money Is Predictable Math, Not Mystery Dr. Lynn demystifies money as a simple equation: if expenses exceed income, the outcome is guaranteed. Emotional avoidance turns math into bondage. Core lesson: “Money is more predictable than anything—one plus one always equals two.” 4. Children Are Financial Assets When Taught Properly She explains a powerful tax strategy: hiring children (or relatives) in a home-based business and paying them up to the IRS threshold tax-free, while teaching them skills and entrepreneurship. Core lesson:Children shouldn’t just consume money—they can learn how it works. 5. Most Entrepreneurs Are Undereducated About Business Dr. Lynn criticizes the rise of “janky businesses”—LLCs without proper structure, records, or protections—leaving owners exposed legally and financially. Core lesson:Talent without business education leads to unnecessary risk. 6. One Stream of Income Is Dangerous She strongly reinforces that relying on a single income source is no longer viable for financial security. Wealth requires multiple, independent income streams. Core lesson:Job security is not wealth security. 7. Estate Planning Is a Responsibility, Not a Luxury Dr. Lynn reframes estate planning as a life and legacy plan, not something only for the wealthy. Without a plan, the government decides what happens to your assets. Core lesson:Everyone has an estate—the question is who controls it. Notable Quotes “Money making conversations isn’t just a title—it’s a movement and a lifestyle.” “Rich people stay rich because they act poor. Poor people stay poor because they act rich.” “The first adjustment anybody needs to make is to open their mouth and talk to someone.” “One stream of income is hazardous to your wealth.” “If you don’t have an estate plan, the government has one for you.” “You spend the money and it’s gone. I spend the money and I get it back—legally.” Conclusion This interview positions Dr. Lynn Richardson as both a financial truth-teller and a practical strategist. Her message is clear: Wealth is built through education, planning, structure, and conversation Financial mistakes are common—but avoidable Generational wealth requires intentional action, not silence or hope The episode reinforces Money Making Conversations Masterclass as a platform not just for inspiration—but for execution and accountability. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Sharise Nance. Purpose of the Interview To showcase Sharise Nance’s mission in mental health advocacy, entrepreneurship, and workplace wellness. To discuss her companies: Hand in Hand Counseling Services – addressing mental health disparities in Black communities. Vitamin C Healing – building trauma-sensitive, wellness-centered workplace cultures. To educate on stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, and financial equity in the mental health field. Key Takeaways Hand in Hand Counseling Services Founded with college roommate Tess Kenny in Pittsburgh. Created a safe space for mental health support in underserved communities. Celebrating 12 years in operation. Breaking Mental Health Stigma Built trust through community presence and transparency. Advocated therapy as normal: “I’m a therapist who has a therapist.” Education on what therapy is and isn’t. Understanding Stress Eustress (positive stress) vs. Distress (overwhelming stress). Physical signs: sweating, rapid heartbeat, tense shoulders, jaw clenching. Stress can lead to depression and anxiety—seek professional help. Impact of COVID-19 Isolation amplified mental health issues. Introduced concept of co-regulation—healing through community and connection. Vitamin C Healing Originated from her book Vitamin C Healing for the Mind, Body. Evolved into a brand offering workshops, consultations, and burnout assessments. Focused on helping professionals and leaders prevent compassion fatigue. Financial Equity in Mental Health Advocates for fair pay: “We can care deeply and earn abundantly.” Challenges the mindset that passion work means low income. Encourages professionals to set boundaries and value their expertise. Burnout & Organizational Cost Unaddressed burnout costs companies millions annually. Leads to quiet quitting, low productivity, and high turnover. Investing in wellness saves money and improves culture. Personal Journey Biggest bet: leaving full-time job in 2017 to pursue entrepreneurship. Therapy helped her navigate fear and grief (especially after losing her father). Quote: “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” Notable Quotes “We can care deeply and earn abundantly.” “I’m a therapist who has a therapist.” “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” “We heal when we are in community—it’s hard to heal in isolation.” “Compassion fatigue isn’t just a feel-good topic; it costs companies millions.” “Betting on myself was the best investment I ever made.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Terrance Wright. Actor, Marine veteran, and wellness advocate—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss his unscripted docuseries House of Healing, a project centered on emotional wellness, vulnerability, and mental health among Black men. The conversation explores why safe spaces for emotional expression are rare but essential, particularly for Black men and veterans, and how House of Healing was intentionally created to challenge long-standing stigmas around therapy, masculinity, and mental health. Through personal stories, examples from the series, and reflections on brotherhood, Wright explains how professional therapy, peer accountability, and intentional vulnerability can lead to real healing and personal transformation.txt). Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview is to: Introduce and explain the docuseries House of Healing and its mission.txt) [ Normalize conversations about mental health and therapy, especially among Black men and veterans.txt) Encourage men to seek help, community, and emotional honesty without shame or fear of judgment.txt) Show how storytelling and entertainment can be used as tools for healing, not just consumption.txt) Wright makes it clear that the end goal is not just viewership, but impact—helping viewers recognize themselves, seek resources, and believe healing is possible. Key Takeaways 1. Black Men Are Often Taught to Suppress Emotions Wright emphasizes that many Black men grow up conditioned to equate toughness with silence, which leads to unaddressed trauma and stress over time. The series challenges this cultural conditioning by creating permission to feel and speak openly.txt). 2. Healing Requires Safe, Intentional Spaces House of Healing was born from the realization that even within strong brotherhoods, men often avoid discussing what they’re truly going through. The house environment, shared living, and guided conversations were designed to remove distractions and foster trust.txt). 3. Professional Therapy Is Essential—Not a Weakness A central theme of the interview is combating the stigma around therapy. Wright intentionally integrated licensed professionals into the series to demonstrate that therapy is a tool for growth, not failure.txt). 4. Trauma Isn’t Only About the Battlefield Wright explains PTSD as unresolved experiences that remain mentally present, whether from childhood bullying, personal loss, or combat. These unresolved moments can impact sleep, relationships, and emotional regulation years later.txt). [ 5. Veterans Need Peer-Based Healing Models Drawing from his Marine background, Wright highlights how veterans often lack reference points for emotional processing. Healing becomes more accessible when done alongside peers who share similar experiences and understand the language of service.txt). 6. Vulnerability Can Create Unexpected Breakthroughs One powerful story involved a cast member reconnecting—by coincidence—with the son of a former partner who had passed away, resulting in emotional closure and lasting healing. This moment reinforced the show’s belief that healing can happen when people are open and present. Notable Quotes “We have all these expectations as Black men, but very rarely is the conversation about: are we okay mentally?”. “That conversation is not for anybody else. That conversation is for you.”(Referring to the “Man in the Mirror” therapy exercise). “A lot of us don’t believe in therapy because we’ve never had reference for those conversations.”. “Healing isn’t just for us in the house—it’s for anybody watching who sees themselves in our stories.”. Conclusion The interview positions House of Healing as more than a docuseries—it’s a cultural intervention. Terrance Wright uses storytelling, brotherhood, and professional support to redefine masculinity as emotionally honest, mentally aware, and community-centered. Rushion McDonald’s questions help surface the deeper intention behind the project: creating visibility and permission for healing where it has historically been denied. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's National Poetry Month in the U.S., and each year we like to celebrate by sharing our favorite contemporary writers' work about birds. Ornithologist and poet J. Drew Lanham often writes about racial justice, and his experience as a Black man in the outdoors — both the joy of being in nature and the racism he faces in the field. Sometimes that's led him to birding spots that others might pass by. In this episode, Drew shares a poem inspired by little brown sparrows thriving in overlooked places.

In XYBM 155, we sit down with Marquis Hill (Real MJ Hill), a 20-year-old motivational speaker, author, and youth mental health advocate. He explains the disruptive behavior of youth as a deep need for validation and a cry to simply be heard, often rooted in his own early struggles with comparison, the pain of losing a close mentor to suicide, and the profound identity shift he experienced after a sudden heart diagnosis ended his basketball dreams.       This is a must-watch for parents, millennials, and anyone who wants to truly connect with young people and create spaces where they feel safe enough to open up.Tune in on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube.Leave a 5-star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if you found value in this episode or a previous episode!BOOK US FOR SPEAKING + BRAND DEALS:————————————Explore our diverse collaboration opportunities as the leading and fastest-growing Black men's mental health platform on social media.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes with Monique Rodriguez, the founder and CEO of Mielle Organics, an all natural hair care and beauty brand. Monique created Mielle Organics' first product in her kitchen. Now, the brand has products in over 85 countries – and still pursues the same vision it did from when it operated out of Monique's kitchen, with the same values.Monique worked as a registered nurse for almost a decade. She pursued nursing initially to please her mother and secure a financially stable career. As a wife and mother of two girls, it was a big risk to leave her stable career path to pursue her passion. Yet she always had a love of beauty and haircare, and once she saw the engagement of her online community with the products she was creating in the kitchen, she decided to bet on herself and launch her own product, and that's when Mielle Organics was born.In 2021, Monique became the first Black woman to raise a non-controlling nine-figure investment, over $100M, in a deal with Berkshire Partners. In 2023, Monique made history again when Mielle Organics was acquired by Procter & Gamble in an unprecedented acquisition, the largest exit ever for a Black Female beauty founder, in which she will continue to serve as CEO of the company. As part of her deal with P&G, she also established Mielle Cares, the non-profit arm of her company, with a $10M donation that was matched by P&G. In this week's episode we discuss the many business ventures Monique tried that didn't work out, why she decided to pursue her nursing career and the biggest skills she learned there that have propelled her when starting her own business. We also chat about her process of building a passionate community through social media, how that helped her create product market fit for her product, and the steps she took to find a chemist to work on her first batch that ended up selling out. Monique also ends on sharing insights on manifesting success, the exact steps she took to bring her ideas to life, her advice on navigating challenging situations both personally and professionally, and so much more. In this episode, we'll talk to Monique about:* Confronting fears and building self-belief. [04:06]* Strong women in Monique's upbringing. [07:27]* Leaving her comfort zone. [20:09]* High-risk pregnancy experience in 2013. [22:49]* Funding Mielle's early stages. [31:35]* Starting Mielle at home and the initial orders.

Episode 120 Ana Barbosa On May 6, 2024, 53 year old Ana Barbosa vanished. She was last known to be with her husband at his auto shop in the Oildale section of Bakersfield, CA. By his own admission, her husband admitted that they had argued at the shop, but then gave varying accounts top people of what happened to his wife. In one version, he called her an Uber. In another version, she walked away and claimed there would be footage of her leaving on the shop's surveillance footage. However, there is no footage of her leaving, and there is no record of any Uber picking Ana up.  Ana's daughter, Ana Maria Leal Ochoa, who is our guest in this episode, was surprised and upset to get a call that her mom was missing and it was only at her urging, that Ana Barbosa's husband finally reported her missing. She remains missing to this day. Ana Barbosa is described as a Hispanic adult woman standing 5ft3, and weighing 140 pounds. She has Black hair and Brown eyes. There is currently a $10,000 reward being offered in this case.  Anyone with information is asked to call the Kern County Sheriff's Office at 661-861-3110 or Kern Secret Witness at 661-322-4040.

After a contentious Democratic primary, James Talarico is making a big push to win over Black voters, many of whom had backed his opponent, Jasmine Crockett. In an exclusive interview with Texas Take host Jeremy Wallace at Prairie View A&M University, Talarico explains what he's doing to win them over and talks about his relationship with Crockett. “There is no way to win Texas without Black voters,” Talarico says.

***The Context of White Supremacy (C.O.W.S.) Radio Program*** hosts the weekly summit on *Neutralizing Workplace Racism 04/23/26*. The family of 32-year-old Chauncia Meekins expressed gratitude following the arrest of her alleged killer. Jada Bell, a 20-year-old Black female, faces six felonies, including the shooting death of Meekins. The tragedy occurred earlier this month when Meekins was killed while working the Spanish Lake, Missouri Steak N' Shake drive-thru window. Bell allegedly murdered Meekins following a dispute over onion rings. Onion rings. In Indiana, 2 black male USPS workers got into a heated confrontation that resulted in a 20-year-old black male being stabbed. His attacker alleged that other employees are rumored to have regularly brought firearms to the post office, so he felt compelled to use his blade before gun fire erupted. Gus T. has increasingly emphasized that Black people are disproportionately subjected to fatal workplace violence. Over the past 12 months, every report reviewed by **The C.O.W.S.** involves Black victims killed by other Black people while on the clock. Gus will connect this environmental chaos to new evidence from the FBI and National Archives proving that Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and Neely Fuller Jr. were under Classification 157 (Racial Matters) surveillance for their entire careers. While the State expends massive resources to monitor Counter-Racist logic, it remains "indifferent" to the conditions that produce fatal conflicts over onion rings at a drive-thru window.

Hilarious, sharp, and full of boundless energy, Dulcé Sloan takes the reins this episode, and Dan is along for the ride. They revisit her climb to success and her many, many jobs along the way. Dulcé began her career as an actor (the best goose you'll ever see, by the way) and candidly tells Dan how others pushed her to dive deep into comedy, leading her to the quintessential comedy dream job, "The Daily Show"… only to realize it was just another job, too. She and Dan also talk about politics and their place in her comedy, identity, and the assumptions thrust upon you for simply being a visible Black woman in entertainment.

Schools around the country are shuttering their Black studies departments—often without regulatory prompting. Jafari S. Allen is a professor of African American and African diaspora studies at Columbia University. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why schools, now admitting less Black students than before DEI crackdowns, are blaming low enrollment for shutting down these departments, and why these cuts are often preemptive, before any penalties are incurred. His article “The Erasure of Black Studies” was published in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

A person's accent can influence the way they are perceived. When it comes to broadcast journalism, the way a person talks is front and center and can open the door to both praise and unsolicited criticism. In our last episode, contributor Arionne Nettles looked at the Southern roots of the Black Chicago accent. It goes back to the Great Migration. Even though many Chicagoans are generations removed from their Southern relatives, some aspects of the accent persist for three main reasons: Black Chicagoans tend to live close to each other, they maintain relationships with family in the South and they like how the accent sounds. Today, we get personal with Nettles, who grew up on Chicago's South Side. She's a journalism professor at Florida A&M University, a culture reporter and author. As a person with the Black Chicago accent, she considered changing the way she spoke to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. She talks about what the accent means to her, and why she ultimately decided not to change it.

Happy Earth Day! This week on Getting Better, Jonathan sits down with plant biologist, author, and educator Dr. Beronda Montgomery for a grounding conversation about nature's healing power and America's Black botanical legacy. Together, they explore why reconnecting with green spaces can be so transformative for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and how practices like urban gardening and container planting can help us build a more meaningful relationship with the natural world—no sprawling backyard required. Jonathan and Dr. Montgomery also dig into the deeper wisdom held in landscapes, plants, and history itself—examining interdependence, the ways trees and land can testify to the past, and the often-overlooked contributions of African Americans in botany and agriculture, alongside the foundational knowledge of Indigenous communities. They touch on the significance of willow trees, the meaning of Sankofa, and what it means to look back in order to carry wisdom forward in a powerful episode about healing, remembrance, purpose, and the responsibility of growing a better future together. Dr. Montgomery's new book When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America's Black Botanical History (Henry Holt, 2026) is out now.  BIO: Dr. Beronda L. Montgomery is a writer, science communicator, and researcher. She has spent more than 20 years in higher education, most recently as vice president for academic affairs (2022–2024) and professor of biology (2022–present) at Grinnell College. Montgomery studies how plants and photosynthetic bacteria perceive, respond to, and are impacted by environments in which they exist. She is the author of Lessons from Plants (Harvard University Press, 2021) as well as her newest book When Trees Testify: Science, Wisdom, History, and America's Black Botanical History (Henry Holt, 2026). Trees stand at the intersection of plant knowledge, Black agricultural history, and collective memories of trauma and triumph intertwined. In When Trees Testify, Montgomery explores the roles that seven tree species—pecan, willow, oak, poplar, mulberry, sycamore, and apple—along with the cotton shrub have played in the lives of Black Americans from their enslavement in the United States to the present. She also explores the science of these plants as well as the sometimes-fraught relationship that African Americans have with agriculture and plants.

In 1950, the City College of New York pulled off one of the greatest Cinderella stories in sports history, winning both the NIT and NCAA tournaments in the same season. The team, made up largely of Black and Jewish players, became a symbol of possibility. Within months, a point shaving scandal shattered that legacy.

The Rizzuto Show kicks off exactly how you'd expect from a daily comedy podcast—with absolutely zero structure and a heated debate about truck colors that somehow turns into judging people's personalities based on paint jobs. Black cars mean you think you're Batman, beige trucks mean you've given up on life, and somewhere in the middle is a questionable “bronze oxide” that nobody asked for.From there, it's a quick detour into one of the most important investigations of our time: the infamous fart video. Yes, it's real. Yes, it's been analyzed. And yes, accusations are still flying like it's a courtroom drama nobody wanted but everyone watched. Add in some Earth Day talk—complete with hippie flashbacks, trash vs. dog poop philosophy, and the realization that we're all kind of terrible at saving the planet—and you've got a perfectly unhinged start.Then comes “Fact Man Moon,” where we learn Mountain Dew used to basically mean moonshine, a town in Nebraska has a population of one (and she runs everything), and some of the biggest music hits were basically accidents that stuck. Also, history happened—apparently a lot of it—and we do our best to remember it correctly.Things take a turn into celebrity news with some real emotion as the crew reflects on the passing of legendary musician Dave Mason, including a hilariously awkward grocery store encounter that proves even rock legends need clam chowder. There's also talk of Alan Osmond, Morgan Wallen's redemption-era generosity, and Joe Buck stepping into a Jeopardy-style hosting gig that somehow makes perfect sense.Of course, it wouldn't be the show without completely unnecessary debates—like whether anyone can actually taste the difference in bottled water (spoiler: people think they can, and they're ready to fight about it). Also, apparently some of you would rather dehydrate than drink the “wrong” water, which feels aggressive but on-brand.And then… chaos. The crew dives into the Password game, where listeners compete for tickets and the rules are explained just enough to immediately fall apart. Clues get weird, guesses get questionable, and somehow people are winning faster than the hosts can process what's happening. It's competitive, confusing, and exactly the kind of mess you expect from a daily comedy podcast that thrives on things going off the rails.We also get into new music (including a nostalgic-but-questionable MGK and Fred Durst collab), bizarre celebrity stories like almost-edible-fueled Vegas marriages, and the kind of commentary that makes you question how this show stays on the air… but you're glad it does.Somewhere in all of this, there are giveaways, random arguments, and at least three moments where someone probably should've been muted—but wasn't.If you came for structure, you're in the wrong place. If you came for laughs, confusion, and a little bit of everything else, congratulations—you've found your new favorite daily comedy podcast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.St. Louis Earth Day Festival 2026More than a Dozen Wrongful Arrests Due to Police Reliance on Facial Recognition TechnologyWhat is 'Panchgavya', a mixture containing cow urine made mandatory by Gangotri Mandir Samiti to enter temple$50K treasure hunt hits San Francisco streets with rare coins hidden across iconic neighborhoodsSalmon exposed to cocaine swim almost twice as far as those without, study showsFinnish Air Force cadets under fire for drawing giant penis-shaped flight patterns during training mission‘Million-dollar prostitute:' Sub caught acting erratically in Lake County classroomKansas high school students take 27-foot Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to the promWorker Jumps from His Truck to Rescue Toddler Who Broke Away from Parent and Nearly Ran into Heavy TrafficLay's celebrates FIFA World Cup 2026 with a whopping 40 limited-edition chips — but only 3 will be sold in the USSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Crickets from Iran Clay Travis and Buck Sexton outline the administration’s next steps as Vice President JD Vance prepares for a high‑stakes diplomatic mission to Pakistan for renewed negotiations with Iran. The hosts analyze President Trump’s morning comments on CNBC, where he stressed American control over the Strait of Hormuz, refused to extend the current ceasefire deadline, and warned that military action could resume if negotiations stall. The conversation explores whether the U.S. naval blockade is truly succeeding, how Iran is attempting to leverage ceasefire optics, and why negotiations with the Iranian regime are notoriously difficult due to deception, internal power struggles, and the lack of a clear decision‑maker within Tehran’s leadership. Clay and Buck also discuss the absence of any visible popular uprising inside Iran despite heavy military pressure, questioning assumptions about regime collapse and examining whether economic pressure, prolonged embargoes, or stronger military escalation would be required to force real change. Spilling the SCOTUS Tea An in‑depth conversation with journalist and Federalist editor‑in‑chief Mollie Hemingway, discussing her new book Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution. Hemingway addresses speculation around potential Supreme Court retirements, explaining why Justice Samuel Alito is unlikely to step down soon while also noting that multiple Republican‑appointed justices are now in their 70s. She explores Alito’s judicial legacy, originalist philosophy, and long‑term focus on religious liberty, including his interest in revisiting key precedent such as Employment Division v. Smith. The discussion also touches on internal Court tensions, Chief Justice John Roberts’ struggles to maintain institutional norms, and the breakdown of collegiality among justices. A major portion of the interview is devoted to exclusive reporting on the Dobbs leak, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Hemingway details how the leak endangered justices and their families, revealing that conservative justices faced sustained assassination threats while liberal justices allegedly delayed their dissent for weeks. She outlines failures in the Supreme Court’s internal investigation, explains why the leaker was likely a clerk or court staffer rather than a justice, and connects the episode to ongoing concerns about politically motivated leaks, slow‑walked opinions, and public attacks on the legitimacy of the Court. Hemingway also weighs in on pending Supreme Court cases, including racial gerrymandering and birthright citizenship, and offers insight into Justice Alito’s continued influence on major decisions. The segment closes with candid discussion of how Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is viewed internally, with critiques of her jurisprudence and legal reasoning. Don't Wear a Bikini on the Job An interview with Michele Tafoya, former NFL broadcaster and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Tafoya discusses her record‑setting fundraising numbers, grassroots momentum, and why Minnesota represents one of the most important potential Senate flips in the upcoming midterms. She explains that voter anger in Minnesota is driven by government fraud, lack of accountability for Democratic leadership, rising crime, failing schools, and embarrassment over national perception of the state. Tafoya strongly criticizes Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, and Attorney General Keith Ellison, accusing them of avoiding accountability and pushing divisive policies. She highlights education failures, controversial ethnic studies curricula, and declining academic performance as key local issues. The conversation also focuses heavily on women’s sports, parental rights, and opposition to biological males competing in girls’ athletics—an issue Tafoya says continues to resonate deeply with parents across Minnesota. She frames the Senate race as both a Minnesota‑specific accountability fight and a nationally consequential election that could solidify Republican control of the U.S. Senate. Kamala: Imma Get Mine Clay and Buck report that Democratic Representative Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick of Florida has resigned from Congress after being found guilty of numerous House ethics violations and facing federal charges related to the alleged misuse of FEMA funds. The hosts explain why this resignation matters nationally, given the narrow margins in the House and multiple recent resignations, and what it could mean for upcoming special elections. The hour also continues real‑time monitoring of U.S.–Iran diplomacy, with fresh reporting that Vice President JD Vance still has not departed for Pakistan, increasingly suggesting that any negotiations may shift to secure video calls instead of in‑person talks. The conversation then pivots to the 2028 Democratic presidential field, with a heavy focus on Kamala Harris and the likelihood of her running for president again. Clay and Buck analyze Harris’s early messaging, particularly her emphasis on identity politics and appeals to Black women as the “backbone” of the Democratic Party. The hosts argue that Harris’s strategy will center on framing herself as the rightful nominee based on race and gender, portraying resistance as discriminatory, and blaming her previous loss on being handed an impossible situation with only 107 days to campaign. They debate whether Democratic Party leadership can realistically stop Harris from winning the nomination, discussing the lack of competing candidates who could effectively challenge her base of support and how the Democratic primary calendar could determine the outcome.
