Ugly Truth Pretty Lies Podcast

RIP KOBE, GIGI, and the other passengers that passed. The aftermath has brought forth a lot of thoughts and reactions. Here we cover our feelings, fatherhood, social media, celebrities, whats to come, media, rape allegations. PT 2 coming soon.

We notice a lot of Bad Behavior being rewarded this past week. Harry and Meghan Markel renounced their throne, AB (Former NFL player) decided to lose his mind, Lori Harvey (Steve Harvey's daughter) showed us how to think like a man for real as she continues to date with a purpose. And somewhere between all that ... we found things to talk about!

Part 2 of this episode (with guest Anthony) starts with the how we treat different skin tones in the Black community. Singer Ari Lennox had a lot to say about this after being insulted online. We don't stay on her long though because we quickly get heated talking about the mistreatment of black men and women by each other and where it stems from! 

Part 1 of this episode starts with a story from Ava London about a friend's dealings with a man with a "small package". This leads us into a convo about the importance of a man's package, how a man knows the "worth" of his package, and somehow Mr. Bodacious (lol) gets into the episode there! Following that we go deeper into the subject of young women being target by men like Adrien Broner (he didn't know) and how men become attracted to younger women. This gets a little hot! Part 2 gets Hotter tho!

Over the past week we've seen Oprah announce plans to topple another black man (Russell Simmons) with a documentary alleging sexual abuse. We've seen mother Jasamine Headley receive 625K from New York police for snatching her baby out of her arms last year. Diddy and Jay Z turning 50 and still partying better than us.  And we discuss the a recent online post that shows "black boys" being told they can be princesses while wearing dresses. Conspiracy? lol! We also sneak a Queen and Slim movie review in. 

Long episode alert! Lizzo and the fat shaming she endured, Steve Harvey flubbing again, more judging women at pageants, Mick Vick's indiscretions, Eminem and Nick Cannon both trash, a reporter gets her ass slapped, and host Tie gets touched about people touching her!

Part 2 of Episode we focus on Kim Kardashian's ability to rescue BLACK people from slavery.... I mean prison. From Porn to Prison.

(Full Audio) This week Kapernick was "Kappin" and we are conflicted. Was the NFL up to tricks or is Kap using race issues to further his career of being a professional Martyr. Kim K is saving black men is saving black men (except for Kanye) at an alarming rate and we want to know how. Monique is still not cracking any joke while suing Netflix. And dudes are out here with Flesh-Lights. We bringing the CONTENT you need this week lol! 

Trending topics move fast so we're a little late to on the whole TI / Hymen debacle... but here it is anyway. A week ago the cast and a couple guest ladies talk about hymen, parenting, our own first time stories and a bunch of other problematic "Ugly Truths"

After Byron Allen's interview about his lawsuit with Comcast and Eddie Murphy's Dolemite movie... it seems like there is a lot of inspirational information flying around. We cover that... and then we play Devils Advocate about it all as well.

Part 1 we cover police brutality 101 for black boys according to Bernie Sanders. That leads us into a lot of topics regarding the validity of democracy and how capitalism affects it. That capitalism leads us into part 2 that cover Byron Allen and a bit more.

Kanye West, Amanda Seales, Tank, and Lisa Raye all have something to say. And its all about their EGO. Come to find out we all have ego's including one member of our podcast! Let's talk about all them plus Lo wants to know about dirty mackin' your dead friends wife! Even that is egotistical!

Off duty cop Amber Guyger killed Both Jean in his apt and was found guilty. Joshua Brown was killed after taking the stand as a witness against Amber Guyger. Let the conspiracy theories fly! Some how this leads us to Jason Weaver's Lion King income and who in our top 50 rapper list! 

Time to get back consistent with the episodes. Just in time for the T's! Dave Chappelle shined a light on a lot things going on in society. Should he be canceled? Kevin Hart can't get right. Lil Nas X and Malik Yoba had some things to tell us as well. Let's see if we can get canceled too!! Cast: Kwak, Justen, Alias Ava London (lol)

Don't call it a comeback! Off hiatus for one episode to get into this chicken sandwi.... nah we're not doing that. We are talking about all matters concerning Jay Z and Kapernick's differences regarding the NFL. Is Jay wrong? Do we care if Kap has a job? Do we trust Jay? Does Jay have to ask permission? Is Jermaine Dupri dumb? Can I get my chicken sandwich on a biscuit? I mean... we go deep!

Summer 2019 is for the city girls! Although the podcast is on hiatus we're dropping this episode that is part of the hours of convo after the podcast that we usually don't publish! Kwaku, Yogi, Tie, and guest Joi talk that relationship talk again! 

People are licking Ice Cream... and NBA owners! We talk about estimated 4 billion dollars of NBA contracts traded this last week and the insanity of the ice cream challenge. Among other subjects we speak on Common Sense's new book about Love Addiction and how we relate! Honestly... It was far more chaotic than that just read though!

Things go off the rails as we judge Nipsey Hussle's mother and her level of spirituality after we first tackle the subject of polyamorous relationships (aka bust downs). Part one ends with a recap of last weeks BET awards and some thoughts about female rappers taking over and what type of affect it has on the culture!

One of our son's make a surprise drop in and we get some lessons about his ministry, aspirations, morals, and life goals. He receives some realities about our worldliness, wasted potential, weak flesh, and  failures. It was a great exchange. 

Part one of this episode begins (and continues) with Kwaku being too close to the mic and smacking the whole time! (pause)  Other than that we cover OJ and his twitter aspirations, Ms. Brady getting over by having a maid while being a house wife, the inner workings of capitalism and we end with Ava London's son joining us for part 2 to talk about his young college life and his spirituality, plus when Ava is going to start where in church hats.
