Today’s episode will be filled with open discussion on many trending topics, along with droplets of nuggets to know.

Issa Rae has done it again. She has elevated the Reality television game to the next level. The series, “The Sweet Life”, is about a group of smart, young entrepreneurs that are trying to find their way through life, by making a name for themselves. This series is fresh, real, humorous,  and authentic. A truly must see.

The next time you go out to eat, be sure to tip off the subtotal and not the total of the bill. I don’t think many people know this or pay attention to it. If your bill has the gratuity amount listed at the bottom of the bill, make sure to recalculate to ensure the amount listed is correct.

Serena Williams gave an outstanding performance at the 2022 U.S. Open. She dominated in both the first and second round. Even though Serena lost in the third round to Ajla Tomljanovic, she goes down in history as the G.O.A.T in the Tennis world.

Stacey Dash had a moment of clarity. She just learned that DMX passed away. DMX has been gone for almost a year now. Let’s all pray for Stacey.

Quiet quitting is the new trend right now. Folks are only working their regular schedule hours and doing the bare minimum to keep their job. Will this be the new norm or will employers catch on and demand more from the employees.

The “Games of Thrones” may be no more, but the prequel is proving to live up to its name, “House of the Dragon.” Let the reign of House Targaryen begin.

Big Brother, Season 24 is bringing all the drama and we are all here for it. Last season, the Cookout made history with the last 7 remaining houseguest being African Americans. While Kyle assumes that this season was going to copy the previous season, Kyle finds himself in the hot seat for insensitive racist remarks that causes the houseguest to step up and do the right thing.

Flooding in Mississippi is not getting better. Many folks have lost everything, and they have nowhere to go. The President declared the State a Natural Disaster. If you would like to donate, please reach out to either the Red Cross, United Way, or another reputable charity.

Lastly, a Kansas City pastor decided to put his congregation on blast by telling them they were poor, busted, and broke for not buying him a luxury Movado watch. I’m not sure who he is working for or representing, but it’s not the work of GOD.
