In Need to Know, Isaiah breaks down the State of the Union address, and explains why House Republicans may have overplayed their hand in their rude behavior towards President Joe Biden. In All the Feels, Bianca leads a discussion on sex positivity for Black folks, but Isaiah is convinced  that it's often used as a placeholder for people who simply want to have their cake and swallow it too! In Gotta Do, author and hypnotherapist Amari Ice returns to the show to discuss how BIPOC people can benefit from hypnotherapy and to explain why the practice is so often misunderstood. 

We made the US Top 200! Our friend Tati joins us as guest co-host to celebrate. Brandi Glanville is accused of heinous behavior...AGAIN! Was it irresponsible to cast her on TV after her past behaviors? Plus, we discuss The Grammys, RHONJ and recycling a certain wedding dress. 

We play "I Said What I Said" and "Love It or Leave It" this week!

Even if you are like the vast majority of Americans who did not watch the recent Grammy Awards, you probably do know that a non-binary man and a transexual presented a song titled "Unholy" in a performance resembling a Satanic ritual, and then up popped the logo for Pfizer! 

The spiritual and cultural rot of this is obvious to see. But from a more mundane business point of view, this has to be one of the worst branding decisions in the history of branding. 

Big Pharma has had a bad couple of years in the eyes of many Americans. Pfizer in particular has gotten in hot water with various undercover video released by Project Veritas. Now Pfizer's brand is associated with Satanic trolling. Who made this decision? 

It's long past time for major American companies to stop taking the goodwill of middle-America for granted, to stop pandering to the sexual identity of the month club, and stop trampling on Christian sensibilities. 

Do you have Pfizer stock in your retirement account? If you do; you're the boss. 

It's time to speak up.

The 65th Grammy Awards saw Harry Styles take home the award for "Album of the Year" for his record "Harry's House". The biggest winner of the night, however, might have been Reina, a 78-year-old Canadian great-grandmother, who got the opportunity to announce the award and hand Harry the trophy. The Grammys invited a group of fans to come on stage to advocate for their favorite artists, and Reina was the one chosen to announce Harry's win. In his acceptance speech, Harry thanked his fans and collaborators. On the other hand, German-born pop singer Kim Petras made Grammys history by becoming the first transgender woman to win the award for best pop duo/group performance. Kim's win was a historic moment not just for her but also for the transgender community. Finally, Viola Davis joined the EGOT club by winning her first Grammy.

RIP to Tyre Nichols. Another Black life lost at the hands of police. Utah officially passed a bill that banned transition related care for minors. The WNBA free agency is already blowing our minds. Sam Smith's new video came out and so did the haters who feel like being sexy is just for thin, white, queer folks. And we double down on our opinions about Beyoncé performing in Dubai.

On the show today…

The Grammys took place today so now we need to break down the wildest red carpet looks and yes, there is a clear winner when it comes to the best-dressed star.

In his memoir Spare, Prince Harry sensationally detailed how he lost his virginity (behind a pub with a bit of rump smacking, in case you forgot) but never named the woman. Now the lady in question has come forward with her side of the story, but we have some questions about her motivation.

And Armie Hammer has given his first ‘tell all’ interview following a series of allegations against him that caused him to be dropped from all upcoming film roles. In the interview, Armie talks about his BDSM history and the way Hollywood turned against him, yet his explanations for what happened, and the cancelation talk around him, have missed the real story.

On the show today...

Blake Lively's been cast in one of the most anticipated film adaptions in years, but fans aren't happy. We discuss why it is they're upset and what we know about the book-turned movie. 

Plus The Bachelors has come to an end with the season finale airing last night. They took a big swing with the revamped format this year and we dissect whether we think it actually worked. 

And Sam Smith dropped the video for their new song over the weekend and while we are absolutely loving it, some people are tearing into it online for its ‘overly sexual undertones’. It’s got us questioning why Sam Smith is such a magnet for online hate.
