Eboni: Dustin Ross, my love, what are you doing?
Dustin: Just over here buffing and polishing our new, uh, NAACP Image Awards. What's going on with you, E?
Eboni: It is time for us to get back in the studio. Look, say less, cause you know I've been ready. Oh my God, the Diddy stuff, the Trump indictments, the Wendy Williams of it all! But you know what, the young folks say we had to stand on a little business right quick, right?
Dustin: All ten, twenty toes. Your feet and mine.
Eboni: Yeah, yours and mine. It's time to go hold some court, love. 
Dustin: It is, it is. Court's back in session, baby. Let's do it.

Where does the money reside when you divorce? It's not always as cut-and-dry as a 50/50 split anymore. This week's docket is here to prove it. First up, the sad case of Wendy Williams' guardian's fight to get her what she is owed, not only from her ex-husband Kevin Hunter but also from the show she hosted for the better part of 14 seasons! Next (23:00) Jenna Dewan is seeking her share of the Magic Mike money that was made during her time married to Channing Tatum; and lastly, a federal appeals court upholds their ruling in the (40:00) Zion Williamson agent case. It's a cautionary tale of an episode this week!

What's Mine is Mine AND What's Yours is Mine $$

See, the problem is, folks talk too damn much. And today Eboni and Dustin got something to say about the folks who can't seem to keep private matters private, and the impact it can have when things go to court. First up (08:55) Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis's ex-lover former Fulton County special prosecutor sat down on national television to discuss his relationship with Willis - one that could get her kicked off of Trump's criminal trial in Georgia. Next (25:33) we'll be getting into the legal proceedings between Tyrese and his first wife and his social media spiral that didn't do what he thought it did. Lastly (40:36) we get into the very serious allegations being bandied between 50 Cent and his ex Daphne Joy, and the reasons you shouldn't accuse anyone unless you're ready to back it up.
