    41:14|

    38:23|
    Michael B. Jordan in his drawers for Vogue, Meghan Markle’s UK drama has already begun, and what the hell is happening at the Kennedy Center? Also, Chris Brown is not wrong (about this one particular thing), and I resent everyone for making me say that 

  • Jasmine Lost the Plot, Boosie Lost His Money & Papoose Lost His Mind

    35:31|
    Jasmine Crockett lost the plot, Boosie got reverse scammed, and Papoose is still doing everything except signing divorce papers. Plus, RIP to fashion god Bob Mackie—and Mitch McConnell is actually alive. Sort of.

  • Jill Scott’s Bra, The Constitution Under Attack & LA’s Crack Era Is Back

  • Feminism, Fraud & Football

    18:36|
    Demi survived Ghana, a US road trip and jet lag just in time to discuss the important things: Aaron Pierre and the very Black Lanterns, Ryan Clark's post-ESPN glow-up, the passing of feminist icon Gloria Steinem, and a man who allegedly convinced women he was an NFL player despite one tiny problem—HE WASN'T ON THE ROSTER.
