This week, I was struck by a moment from an interview with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence while promoting Bad Boys 4. What started as a promo tour clip turned into a masterclass on what separates good from great—and it hit so hard, I recorded an entire episode about it. Here's the key idea: "The difference between 90% and 100%? It's not 10%. It's a lifetime." Let that sit with you.

The discussion turns to Marvel's recent handling of Black characters, covering the cancellations of Wonder Man season two, the long-delayed Blade project starring Mahershala Ali, Ironheart, and Iron Wars, alongside the fallout from Jonathan Majors' exit from the Kang Dynasty storyline and the newly cast Maya Boyd as Storm in the upcoming X-Men film. Ryan Coogler's outsized role in Marvel's Black-led projects and the franchise's post-Endgame slump, including Shang-Chi and Black Widow, also come up as part of the larger conversation about representation.The group then reviews House Party, breaking down the film's cast of Kid 'n Play, Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, John Witherspoon, and the late Robin Harris, along with its lasting cultural footprint and the age gap between the actors and the high school characters they portrayed. Rallo Boykins shares frustration over Jonathan Majors' MCU exit and praises his performance in Magazine Dreams, while Mo "Kid" Licorish closes the episode with an extended look at the manga and anime Dandadan and how its use of assault as a plot device is discussed within anime and manga fan spaces.

Chris has chosen a 1995 action classic this week! Produced by action-movie heavyweights Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, Bad Boys marked Michael Bay's feature-directing debut after cutting his teeth on commercials and music videos. Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Téa Leoni, Tchéky Karyo and Joe Pantoliano led the cast, with Miami's sun-soaked streets providing the film's glossy backdrop. Estimates place the production budget between $19 million and $23 million—remarkably restrained considering the quantity of gunfire, explosions and expensive-looking shirts on display.Reviews were mixed, but audiences were considerably more enthusiastic: the film opened at number one in North America and ultimately earned approximately $141.4 million worldwide. Its combination of buddy-cop banter, music-video swagger and unapologetic '90s excess helped turn Smith and Lawrence into major film stars, established Bay's unmistakably explosive style and launched a franchise that was still filling cinemas nearly three decades later.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIN A CITY where the sunshine is relentless, the suits are immaculate and even routine police work requires several hundred rounds of ammunition... two Miami detectives are about to have a very bad week.Mike Lowrey is smooth, wealthy and dangerously confident. Marcus Burnett is a devoted family man who would quite like to survive until retirement. When a fortune in seized heroin disappears from police custody, the mismatched partners must recover it before their careers—and possibly their entire department—go up in smoke.This time, they'll have to swap identities, protect a vital witness and rediscover the sacred meaning of partnership. Will Smith. Martin Lawrence. Fast cars. Loud guns. Absolutely no cup holders. Bad Boys.FUN FACTSThe project was originally developed at Disney under the title Bulletproof Hearts, with Saturday Night Live alumni Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz considered for the leading roles.Arsenio Hall was approached to play Mike Lowrey before Will Smith and later described turning down the role as one of his biggest career mistakes.The black Porsche 911 Turbo seen in the opening sequence belonged to Michael Bay. The production could not afford to rent one, and Porsche initially declined to supply a car. Car and DriverBay reportedly used $25,000 of his own directing fee to pay for additional crew time needed to complete one of the movie's climactic action sequences.Both lead actors were still television sitcom stars during production: Smith was making The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, while Lawrence was starring in Martin.The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air later slipped in a cheeky reference to the film when young Nicky Banks mentioned that his parents would not let him watch Bad Boys.Much of the dialogue between Smith and Lawrence was improvised, including portions of the memorable opening carjacking scene. Apparently, chemistry cannot always be found in a screenplay.The familiar “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?” refrain comes from Inner Circle's reggae track “Bad Boys,” already famous as the theme music for the television series Cops.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Actor, comedian, and host of Crowd Control on Dropout, Jacquis Neal joins me to defend the year 2000 Martin Lawrence vehicle, Big Momma's House. We discuss why this broad comedy is vastly underappreciated and how it brilliantly parodies the classic matriarch character originating from the drama Soul Food. We dive into Martin Lawrence's legendary, trailblazing run in the 90s and 2000s, why critics were entirely wrong to slap this film with a 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, and why the suspension of disbelief required for Big Momma's House makes it a much better watch than White Chicks. We also touch upon the brilliance of the first Bad Boys film and how Will Smith originally landed the role over Eddie Murphy. Jacquis also talks about the new season of his consensual crowd-work show on Dropout, Crowd Control, and how he pushed the wardrobe budget to pay homage to classic stand-up looks from Eddie Murphy, Katt Williams, and Martin Lawrence. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for:Episodes 24 hours earlyAd FreeBonus ContentExclusive Polls and Updatespatreon.com/everyonesacriticpod

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie dig into a summer topic that runners still get wrong all the time: sweating more does not automatically mean training smarter. They start with the old-school mylar sweat suit craze, the idea that extra sweat meant faster weight loss, and why that mindset is still hanging around today. Valerie explains that heat itself is not the problem—running or training in heat can be useful—but adding unnecessary heat stress on top of exercise is where people get into trouble. If you are already working hard outside, your heart is doing enough work without a heavy sweat suit making things worse.The conversation also explains the difference between healthy heat exposure and risky “make yourself sweat more” habits. Valerie talks about sauna use, warm baths, and hot training rooms as forms of controlled heat exposure, but she makes it clear that those are very different from putting on extra layers and heading out for a run in brutal conditions. She uses real-world examples, including Martin Lawrence's public warning after ending up in the hospital in a silver sweat suit, to show why you should never confuse dehydration and overheating with good training. Instead of chasing sweat for its own sake, the goal is to prepare for heat intelligently, protect your heart, and train in a way your body can actually handle.This episode also gives practical summer advice for runners and anyone exercising outdoors. Valerie walks through why hydration and electrolytes matter more in hot weather, why cotton is a poor choice when you sweat heavily, why runners in extreme races cover up instead of stripping down, and why heat fitness does not mean you can ignore basic preparation. She explains that a strong cardio system does not make you immune to heat strain, and she encourages runners to weigh themselves before and after runs, watch their sweat loss, and adjust water and electrolyte intake accordingly. The bottom line: train for the heat, do not try to out-sweat it.▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play Support email: support@runrx.fit

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivered a blend of breaking news, entertainment, and heartfelt conversation as the crew unpacked several stories generating national attention. The show opened with an update in the ongoing case surrounding Nolan Wells, as his mother, Christine Wonsley, announced that a professional misconduct complaint filed against her nursing license had been closed while her family continues to seek answers about her son’s death. The crew also discussed the release of a limited-edition Angel Reese Barbie doll, which celebrates the WNBA star’s impact on and off the court. Recent reports note that Mattel’s collectible doll honors Reese’s achievements, philanthropy, and growing cultural influence, further cementing her “Bayou Barbie” brand. Meanwhile, Gary’s Tea sparked conversation around online criticism Reese received after comments about playing with Barbie dolls as a child. The show also tackled a heartbreaking Georgia case involving a mother charged with second-degree murder after her 1-year-old son died after being left in a hot car while she worked a hospital shift. The emotional discussion focused on parental responsibility, exhaustion, grace, and whether tragic mistakes should carry criminal consequences, with listeners passionately weighing in on both sides. Ending on a lighter note, the crew celebrated the official premiere date for The Varnell Hill Show, the long-awaited Martin spinoff starring Tommy Davidson, which is set to debut September 1 on Paramount+ with appearances from Martin Lawrence and a star-studded guest lineup. Alongside the headlines, listeners enjoyed lively discussions on Ryan Clark and Sage Steele’s ongoing ESPN controversy, Keke Palmer’s new hosting role on The Voice Celebrity, nostalgic throwback memories, and the humor and commentary that make the show a daily favorite.

Jess Hilarious has built a career on telling the truth in a way that makes people laugh and feel seen, from the Baltimore open mic scene to Wild 'N Out, starring on Rel, her hit podcast Carefully Reckless, and now co-hosting The Breakfast Club. But in this conversation, we go somewhere most people have never heard her go: what it really took to become the mother and co-parent she is today. Jess got pregnant at 19, raised in a strict church household, terrified to tell her parents she even had a boyfriend. She opens up about the first six months after her son Ashton was born, when she didn't want to be a mom at all, and the breakdown on her knees in her mother's house that ended with her baby smirking up at her from the crib. That was the moment everything changed. We also walk through the hard road with her son's father, Jerome. The cheating, the other girl at Ashton's first birthday party, and the public comment that revealed he had a second child on the way. Instead of staying at war, Jess chose to understand the trauma behind his behavior, and the two of them took actual co-parenting vows: for better or for worse, till death do we parent. As a father of four boys, I know how many men in our community are navigating co-parenting right now, and this episode is packed with hard-won wisdom on boundaries, accountability, and putting your kids first. Jess's new book, Til Death Do We Parent, brings her trademark humor and honesty to all of it, and this conversation is the perfect introduction.   Timeline Summary [1:01] Larry welcomes comedian, actress, and Breakfast Club co-host Jess Hilarious to the show [1:48] Jess opens up about not wanting to be a mom for the first six months after her son was born [3:15] Telling Jerome she was pregnant at 19 and his unexpectedly joyful reaction [4:25] A charge on her record, no job offers, and moving back in with her mom after Ashton arrived [4:52] The breakdown in her mom's house: "why would you pick me to be your mother?" [7:17] Telling her parents at 8 PM: her dad's ten-second breathing technique and her mom's prayer [15:02] The funeral story at age eight that proved Jess was born funny [17:43] Martin Lawrence's brother calls and Jess fakes ten years of stand-up experience [18:41] Opening for Martin Lawrence in front of 13,000 people in Baltimore after five open mics [25:05] Rome brings another girl to Ashton's first birthday party [26:57] Leaving a good man for one more chance, then learning about Rome's second child from a public comment [31:14] Understanding Rome's trauma: losing his mother at ten and finding her himself [33:32] The co-parenting vows: "I take you, Jerome James, to be my lawfully wedded co-parent" [35:22] Dating selfishly and taking accountability for the men she brought around Ashton [38:15] The 1 AM phone call that made her husband draw the line on boundaries [42:58] Larry shares meeting his biological father by chance in a St. Louis Starbucks at age 30   Five Key Takeaways Treat co-parenting like a vow you can't walk away from, because your child is watching how you show up for better or for worse. Your kids absorb every ounce of tension between you and your ex, and defiance at school is often a reflection of the energy they're consuming at home. Understanding the trauma behind your ex's behavior won't excuse it, but it can free you from resentment and make a real friendship possible. When you have kids, you date as a package, so anyone who isn't building a bond with your child isn't actually good for you either.

A historic blizzard tore through the Northeast, leaving communities buried under record‑breaking snowfall—Providence alone saw 37.9 inches, the largest storm total in the city’s history—and hundreds of thousands of residents without power as travel bans and flight shutdowns rippled across major hubs from New York to Boston. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian continues grappling with renewed allegations from Ray J, which she says could jeopardize her long‑term plans of becoming an attorney. Newly filed court documents show she fears the California State Bar may scrutinize Ray J’s claims—accusations she insists have “absolutely no basis”—as she tries to maintain her public image and protect her children from the fallout. In brighter news, Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence’s families celebrated together as their children, Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence, revealed the name of their baby girl: Ari Skye, announced during a love‑filled baby shower attended by both comedy legends. And in hip‑hop headlines, T.I. ignited the culture by dropping a blistering diss track titled “Right One” aimed squarely at 50 Cent—escalating a feud that began with a scrapped Verzuz conversation and intensified after social‑media jabs involving family members. The track takes direct shots at 50’s character, signaling T.I.’s readiness for a full rap battle should 50 choose to respond.
