Whew chillay! Have you all been watching Girlfriends? Y'all can't say anything about Molly anymore because at this point, it isn't even fair to say that Toni walked so that Molly can run. Toni is messy in the first episode of the series!...but we digress. Welcome bawheads to another episode of The Rude Urban Truth. This week, our Black Magic goes out to Chanel Turner, the youngest woman to have a line of spirits and she's also the first black woman to have a spirit. And by spirit, you know we are talking about liquor. Check out Fou-Dre vodka. In Rude Talk, we are talking about dating during a pandemic and Girlfriends being released on Netflix on its 20th anniversary. We close out the show with Living While Black where we ask the question "When will white people stop playing dumb?""My bawwwheeeaaaaddds" - sang like Girlfriends

Y'all! Kanye has literally lost his damn mind. We are over it and I'm sure y'all are, too. In Black Magic, Urban Laughter highlights Jurnee Smollett especially after her amazing performances in the tv show, LoveCraft Country. In Rude Talk, we talk P-Valley, Power Book II: Ghost, and the wack pastor, John Gray. Closing out in Living While Black, we talk about McDonalds being sued by black franchise owners, Akon taking more steps in creating his own Wakanda...and Kanye's wack ass again.

This week, the description will be short and sweet. We lost a king recently in Chadwick Boseman. This has affected a number of people in different ways and we are no different. T'Challa...Black Panther...Thurgood Marshall...Jackie Robinson...James Brownn...you portrayed so many people but Chadwick Boseman is the man that we will all remember. Since your passing, everyone has had nothing but great things to say about you and the amazing man that we lost. Rest well and long live the king.

If you throwin' bandz, den you know she gone shake it. We FINALLY dive into P-Valley after weeks because Urban Laughter finally caught up and JB was so excited about it. In Black Magic, we highlight Shirley Chisolm. In Rude Talk, P-Valley aside, we dive even more into the Megan Thee Stallion/ Tory Lanez situation and ways that you can tell that you are getting old because bay-bee, these knees don't work like they use to. Finally in Living While Black, we talk about taking a moment to acknowledge the things that we love about ourselves, Treyford Pellerin's murder, and the long overdue Brandy and Monica Verzuz.

We are going to keep it simple. Here's a dose of what you can expect from this episode:- Black Magic: John Boyega- Pride Month Highlight: Nicholas Ashe and Justice Smith. They're so cute together- Insecure follow-up (through episode 8)- What would you do? (you know we keep the scenarios coming)- Backpedaling. How do you know when the apology is actually genuine?We get into all kinds of good stuff. Plus, we take a moment to reflect on funny moments that we have had with our best friends.

This has been one of the most emotional weeks in a long time so we aren't going to fill this description up with a lot. Tune in. Be strong. Keep your head up high. Check on your black friends. We are not okay.

Hotep vibes...come hither. Erykahhh and Ms. Jill Scott are hereee to realign all of our energies. Just when everything feels wonderful again....THE RONA. And here we are.

In Rude Talk, we dive face first in dating do's and don't's, maintaining romantic relationships while grieving and what our exes would say about us. Lastly, Living While Black is fueled mainly by the murdering of Ahmaud Arbery. We had a lot to say about this one and we are sure you do as well.

Another week, another episode, and another guest! This week, we have total package entertainer, Lutfy. He sings. He acts. He can't twerk, though. He was also threatened by Urban Laughter multiple times to have his mic cut off. He was out of control and we loved it. The conversation was flowing as we talked about Black Magic (Jonathan Jackson, co-founder of Blavity), the over-reliance of people on celebrities as it relates to philanthropy, and how we can try to cope with anxiety as we deal with Ms. Cuh'Rona Thompson.In Rude Talk, we play an extreme game of Would You Rather. Ooo, it was a good one.

Sugar...Spice...Some dust...And everything nice...We sound like we can whip something up, don't we? Well, even if we can't, our co-host for the week can. This week, we have Carlos from the food blog, CarlosCooking.com, with us. We may have said it before, but this week, we can confidently say that this is probably one of the best episodes we have done. Our Black Magic Woman is Angela Benton, a major pioneer in technology, and Living While Black centers on the adverse effects that Covid-19 is having on black people in this country. A large percentage of black people work in essential positions and are exposing themselves at ridiculous levels to Covid-19 exposure, but must work because of the financial consequences that could be brought upon them and their families if they don't.Rude Talk is all about relationships and very unique relationship situations. As you're listening to the situations, ask yourself "Would you end the relationship?"For all things Carlos Cooking, check out the information below:Website: https://carloscooking.comInstagram: CarlosIsCookingFacebook: CarlosCooksTwitter: @carloscooking__

Y'all hear that? Oo, I know y'all hear it. Those are the sweet sounds of Rod P.'s "Freaklanta" comin' out your speakers! Musician and rapper, Rod P., is our special guest this week. Don't think because we have a guest that we didn't give you our good ole segments, Black Magic Woman (Taryn Finley) and Living While Black (C'mon, Black people have gone through so much that there's no way that we haven't been prepared for the corona virus).Rod P. drops off his hot track "All Night" from his EP Freaklanta and we dive into what brought about the album and how he's different from other artists that are out today. It wouldn't be us if we didn't ask some off the books type questions, too. He also joined us for Rude Talk, where we talked about work husbands/wives, the difference in relationships of today compared to the ones that our grandparents had, and settling (is it ever okay to settle?). You don't want to miss this episode.Follow Rod P:Instagram: just.rodpYouTube: RodrickFlowers07

Gotta talk to this virus like it really IS somebody! Gone somewhere and sat dine!Bawheads, we know it has been a tough week. Hopefully, you are one of the many that has the ability to work from home. If you don't, be strong and let's keep praying that this ends soon.Our Black Magic Woman is the woman who started the #BlackGirlMagic hashtag many years ago, CaShawn Thompson. In Living While Black, we dispel the myth created by Black Twitter that black people aren't able to contract Covid-19. Rude Talk, though, is all about dating. We are talking Nicki Minaj and the sex offender husband that she has, first date expectations, and if it is okay to casually date someone while keeping a former fling on the side before things get serious.

Some people handle boundaries by setting them. Urban Laughter creates boundaries with deezz hands. How do you create boundaries and handle those that don't respect your boundaries?In Black Magic, we talk about Shabria who spoke amazing life into a four year old who thought she was ugly and our unsung hero, Nia Long. Living While Black is laced with all kinds of mayhem and foolishness as we talk about cops arresting another child, Olive Garden actually complying with a request to only have a white waitress, and how a lot of black record label execs are taking advantage of black women in the music industry.We dive face first into boundaries, a situationship where there's a lack of trust, and why y'all keep insisting on inviting people to our virtual cookout for doing basic ish.

We can't be the only ones that are tired of seeing people talking about what other people are doing with their money. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. And if you are one of those people that will be getting stacks on stacks back, we got a CashApp. Love you, bawhead. Anyway, in Black Magic, we talk about Jordan Peele and Nia DaCosta as they have recently released the trailer to Candyman and Nia Dennis who has wowed the world with her Beyonce inspired floor routine. In Living While Black, we go over recent reports on gentrification in metro areas, the neo confederate group that had a convention on the last day of Black History Month (the unmitigated gaul and audacity) and the backlash that Beatrice Dixon has gotten from the melanin challenged for speaking on the need for young black girls to see a successful black woman.How much of your past should your partner know? That's what we are talking about in Rude Talk. Do you want to know how many partners they've had? Do you feel like you need to tell them yours? What do you think? We are talkin' the past, music that define us, and an ain't ish roommate that left his former roommate with a 13k past due rent bill!

Rihanna said what she said and we are all the way here for! We have to tell our non-black friends that OUR problems are THEIR problems if they supposedly ride for us the way that they claim. Because of that, Rihanna is our Black Magic Woman of the week. In Living While Black, we talk about Robert Lee Noye, a black man who held a white woman hostage and forced her to watch Roots so she could understand her racist ways. We also take a moment to discuss the Kobe Bryant memorium service that was held this week.In Rude Talk, we are talking errrrthang. Swae Lee and the clickbait "heels" article that was posted, Boosie backlash, gift giving etiquette, and so much more. You're gonna love this one.Disclaimer: We experienced some mic issues midway through the podcast so we apologize for that. In the famous words of Beyonce, "Somebody's getting fired".

Or at least that's what Urban Laughter said, but everyone doesn't agree.It is a new week so of course, we brought you a new episode. This week for Black Magic, we talk about Elyse Fox and Alvin Alley. Don't know em? Then, be sure to listen and google to learn a little more.

For a change, Urban Laughter saw a movie on time (The Photograph), we talk about a terrible first date, and what to do if you know a soon-to-be bride that is cheating on her soon-to-be-groom. Would you continue being a bridesmaid in the wedding or are you tip toeing out?

Pewwwww. Boom.That was the sound of cupid's arrow hitting your crush. Gone head and jump on that. We are back with a new episode of The Rude Urban Truth. We are talking Julian Abele (he designed THEEE Duke University) and Jennifer King (She's the first African American woman to be a full-time coach in the NFL) in our Black Magic segment.

It is Black History Month and we are going this whole month with that good ole Mamba Mentality. "Mamba mentality is you're going, you're competing, you're not worried about the end result. ...
