Today, we're instituting a new feature.  For the last show of each month, it's straight open mic night.  No script.  No topic.  Just whatever is on the minds of the hosts at the time.  Here we go ...

A parent has what he thinks is a private conversation between him and his adult son -- but the son is secretly recording it -- and not all of it.  The parent -- Kirk Franklin, Award-Winning Gospel Singer, has received some flack because of the language he used in that conversation.  Want to know what we think about that?  Give a listen ...

With the announcement today, that Maryland has joined other states in relaxing their group gathering and social distancing requirements, we ask the question - is it too soon?  If a state is allowing up to 50% attendance at stadiums, but hasn't inoculated 50% of the population against Covid-19,  are they putting citizens at risk ... again?  We'd love to get your feedback on it.

To celebrate all the wonderful people and events who personify Black Greatness in our history, today we connect with one of our listeners, Bill from the Bx, for a game a Black Jeopardy.  To say that one of our teammates is a bit competitive would be a huge understatement.  Listen in!  And, when you're ready to play the game, you can find it online at:  https://jeopardylabs.com/play/black-history-everyday

With Valentine's day this weekend, we discuss whether or not it merits 'holiday' status, and -- do you celebrate it?

In the wake of the Chloe Bailey Internet backlash story, we talk about whether or not Black women are routinely body shamed -- and, who's doing it?  Are women hating on other women - or, is it due to a misogynistic culture?  Here's a hint - we have difference of opinion.  Your Thoughts? 

Today we discuss the 5 Love Languages, as detailed in the book of the same title, by Gary Chapman. https://www.amazon.com/Love-Languages-Secret-that-Lasts/dp/080241270X which was originally published in 1992.

What's your love language -- with regard to what you like, and what you don't?  And, are you in tune with your partner's love language?

What happens when you're interested in striking a relationship w/someone, but that someone isn't interested in you; they're interested in your friend?  Do you give a nod of approval?  Do you sulk?  Do you feel slighted?  Are there rules, codes, and assumptions that need tending to?  Let's talk about it.
