Dique Chisme

If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense! They say this is a big rich town, but who shot Ghost? Your favorite chismosas are back and we are talking Power. We dissect the second half of the final season of Power, in detail (7:42). Are we interested in the Power Universe and the multiple spin off shows that are to come? Let’s talk about ehhh (47:15). New exciting black content to come in 2020 and we are all for it. We share some shows/films we are excited for (51:24). Insecure Season 4 will be back this year, but Issa Rae has had her hands in multiple projects in the interim, her latest project being The Photograph, costarring Lakeith Stanfield. Should we meet someone where they are or search for people who’s ambitions match ours? Let’s get in to it (54:19).

Take away: Don't spread yourself too thin.

February is here. Black History Month is here! We celebrate the accomplishments black people have achieved throughout history. As always, we bring you the Chisme with a side of life lessons. Let’s get into it!

Shakira and J.Lo headlined at this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, and well.... your favorite Chismosas give you their verdict. Let’s talk about ehhh (12:17). It’s Awards Season, y’all. So much happened at this year’s Grammys; if you didn’t watch it, don’t worry, we got you with a brief recap (17:52). While some celebrated their wins, others are holding the Grammys accountable; Tyler the Creator and Diddy let their voices be heard. The Grammys has 365 days to get it together, and that’s on Diddy (27:13)! Joaquin Phoenix did not stay far behind. He, too, wants to hold all white people in the industry accountable. Phoenix’s acceptance speech at the BAFTA Awards left the room speechless (35:34). Gayle King is being scrutinized for questions asked during an interview about what may tarnish Kobe Bryant’s legacy. The internet is in an uproar; we dive in (40:35).

Happy Black History Month!

Chismosas as we know the Chisme never stops, so we brought you some this week! Let's get into it! 

After two months of marriage, Lena Waithe announces she and her wife have decided to split after claims of cheating with actress Cynthia Evrio who recently played the role of Harriet Tubman in the film Harriet. Yikes! We’re here for the content that’s to come Lena! (8:06). SPOILER ALERT: YOU has us rooting for Joe. That’s right, Netflix’s series “You” has us tuned in and binge watching the new season. We’re here for it, Season 2 and all the toxicity the show is displaying. Let’s get into ehhh (18:35). Netflix has another binge worthy documentary, ‘Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez’. Your favorite Chismosas dissect the documentary and share our thoughts. Hernandez’s brain was studied and diagnosed with CTE, did this have anything to do with his actions? What’s the trufff? (28:07). Another football player who has been displaying “disturbing” behavior lately is Antonio Brown. After being let go by the Patriots organization, Brown has had frequent interactions with the law. We wonder, like most if years of playing football and multiple injuries later may be the cause (40:34). Men need to listen to women. Terry Crews is learning this lesson the hard way after making statements regarding Gabriele Union’s allegations against America’s Got Talent. This man ran his mouth and invalidated Union’s experience after his wife clearly told him not to. Oh, let's talk about ehhh (52:53). 

We dedicate a moment of silence to Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and the seven other passengers who lost their lives on January 26,2020. Mamba is out but we will always remember him! 

Take Away: Listen to women.

This week we take it back to the Chisme. The OG of astrology has passed away. RIP to a real one, Walter Mercado (1:08). Instagram is adding a new feature! Are they finally putting our timelines in chronological order? Nope, they are getting rid of likes. As aspiring influencers we are not here for this (7:05). “DRAAAaaaAaaakkkeee?!?”, that was the reaction from fans at Tyler the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Festival before booing him off stage. Here at Dique Chisme we are Drake Stan podcast, we tell you how we really feel (17:24). The self proclaimed King of R&B, Jacques released an album. We debate on who really is the current King of R&B, cus he ain’t it (27:15). Summer Walker’s social anxiety drives her to cancel 20 tour dates.

Here on Dique Chisme we care about your emotional health, so we paused the Chisme to get into some real life lessons.

Chismosas, all season we’ve been talking about knowing yourself and your worth, it was about time we spoke about: Boundaries. What the hell is a boundary anyway? We dissect the word and give you its definition (3:12). There are many ways to establish boundaries. How do we establish boundaries when we were never taught to do so? Let’s talk about ehhh (9:40). Words are important and so is the power behind them. Boundaries and standards are often misconstrued, we break down their meaning and their importance in our lives. We also dive into our own personal boundaries (17:12). What’s the difference between a boundary and a wall? Your favorite Chismosas explain what differentiates the two and what long term effects each has on us and our relationship with others (34:40). 

Take away: Take power, communicate and establish your boundaries so you can feel empowered and free in your life and relationships.

Hola Chismosas! Lots to cover, let's get to it. 

John “Pops” Witherspoon passes away at 77, we remember his joyful spirit and undeniable contribution to film and comedy (8:50). Drake and his pops are back at it again. Dennis Graham denies being an absentee father and accuses Drake of fabricating this to sell records. Yikes, what is the trufff?! Let's find out (14:56). Amanda Seales is known for being outspoken about issues she cares about, she speaks up for injustices but it seems that others don’t really care to speak up for her. We dig in and find out what really happened with her latest controversy at a Black Hollywood party. You wanted chisme, we got you (25:15). Some of us shower once a day, others twice even three times a day, then we have others who just get by with a “hoe bath”. Yes, we are talking about Summer Walker’s latest confession that she indeed does not like showers. This news caused an uproar online and as a result we have some very creative memes. In conclusion, don’t be Summer Walker, personal hygiene is essential (47:27).
