Tariffs-sha-mar-riffs I am going to need all of ya'll to stop playing in my face. I am black, big-backed, and proud. Not a 60s era black person. I will cuss you and slap you out. Your crooked weave leader got ya'll twisted. Please don't mistake my silence for compliance or agreement. My resistance is not the same as yours. Still calling out hypocritical white led liberal movements….Even with new Sketchers, I got bad knees and feet, I am not walking on anybody's picket line or marching anywhere. Also, I will not be bullied into donating to your super PAC. News flash, you can threaten to silence ActBlue at the risk of blowing up every MAGA-dominated PAC, so get out of my face and stop spamming me. Money talks, BS walks Costco has 433.55 billion reasons Costco to tell the US government and 19 hooded governors to F all the way off. Scam Nation Chronicles...Presidential pardons only for federal crimes, you can still be convicted and jailed for securities violations on the state level, and no US Calvary coming to bell you out. Crazy Pants MTG where you get 300K large? Did you know GA like all states have Securities Investigations? Key differences between the National Partnership for Reinventing Government and DOGE... intent, approach, and current actions. Also, there was no active censorship of the media or private during the NPR initiative. DOGE actions affect everyone negatively and will only benefit few, the top 2%. Pop Cultures Comments and Real-T on Reality TV: Shannon Sharpe's April is shaping up to be more dramatic than a fourth-quarter comeback – and with just as many questionable calls. He is real stupid. Demetria L. Lucas does an amazing job breaking down the multi-page complaint in her recent episode. I plan to read and comment on Ms. Tina's new book Matriarch in upcoming episodes, but you can listen to Kid Fury and Chrissle interview her on the latest episode of The Read. Finally #RHOA, Brit and Drew Be Lyin' make it make sense and the math ain't mathing, move on, because your current story lines are boring me.

Singer and actress Winans (Greenleaf) and Williams (best known from The Young and The Restless) are two of the stars in TV One’s original ensemble film Don’t Waste Your Pretty. Based on the eponymous novel penned by award-winning author Demetria L. Lucas, the film tells the story of tightly knit friends as they sort out their turbulent life and love issues. After years of extreme career focus, Mykah finally stops making excuses and starts looking for love. Encouraged by her best friends, Mykah embraces the dating scene by taking their suggestions on speed dating, making online connections, and hitting the nightlife, but soon discovers love might be right in front of her. The recent divorcée Jeanné (Deborah Joy Winans) has put the idea of love on ice but has to decide if the burning flame from Mykah’s twin brother Michael (Redaric Williams) is warm enough to melt her heart again. Fun-loving, married couple Amma and Aisha are #couplegoals of the group but struggle to strike a balance as they embark on their parenthood journey. When jobs, romance, and family interactions prove more complicated than they had ever anticipated, the group of friends knows they can always turn to one another to figure out their next move. Keri Hilson, Jasmine Burke, Kaye Singleton and Rainey Branch also star in the film. Michigan-native William Redaric was a series regular on The Young and the Restless. He has had recurring roles on The Quad, Lucifer, and Damages. Detroit-native Deborah Joy Winans starred in OWN’s NAACP award-winning drama series Greenleaf from Executive Producer Oprah Winfrey. She released her most recent single I Won’t Stop Breathing on all digital platforms July 2020. The song was written by family as a tribute to heartbreak. Winans starred in the Angela Bassett directed television movie, Whitney, also portraying her real-life aunt, Cece Winans.

When is enough, enough? That’s the question we ask on today’s podcast. This week we discuss a question that was posed to the #belleoftheburbs, Demetria L. Lucas, on her IG page related to a woman, who in response to a husband’s (albeit) rude relative, was very crass in her reaction. Michelle Obama famously said, "When they go low, we go high." This woman did not do that. Hear our take on what we’d do in this situation. Also, what characteristics make an ideal wife? As always, we discuss who needs friends this week in pop culture and we unanimously agreed that it’s Wanda Smith, from the Frank Ski morning show. Katt Williams delivered an old fashion roasting that was so bad her husband had to step to him. LOL Thanks for listening. Find us on the web @tayfpodcast (IG/Twitter).
