House Guest

Neighbors, @realkirkfranklin came over and had me in tears, both kinds 😂

The 20-time Grammy winner is celebrating his new double album, I Am What I Am, and we kicked things off with a round of Amen or Nah, Man. Five toilets, one water bill, and a televangelist toe. That's all I'm going to say.

Then we sat down and Kirk let us all the way in. He told me why music was the first thing that ever told him it loved him, what that love has cost his family, and what he learned after his Oprah interview. He also told me about the night Prince got down on one knee and invited him to jam, why he still regrets saying no, and the Kanye beats he turned down for a reason that says a lot about who he is.

We wrapped with You Know Who, and Kirk had a lot to say about Nia Long 😂

Neighbors, what Kirk Franklin song got you through something? Let me know in the comments!

Neighbors, @EmmaGrede came over and got me together! 😂 The founder, serial entrepreneur, author and host of the Aspire with Emma Grede Podcast joins me for business, motherhood, money and betting on yourself. Every time I thought we could wrap up, she gave me another reason to keep talking. Our longest House Guest yet, and you’ll see why.

We get into the backlash around her book Start With You, what she took from the conversation, and where she stands firm. Emma says what she means, and you know I have questions!

Let me know in the comments what piece of advice stuck with you!

Neighbors, @kerrywashingtonvideo came over and brought Oprah AND Tina Turner with her 😂 Y’all, she’s a good time!

We get into how she brings her characters to life, motherhood, and what inspired her to bring back her podcast, The Street You Grew Up On. We also talk about her new Netflix film Animals with Ben Affleck, and what she and Jamie Foxx are potentially cooking up.

Kerry shares about her ongoing search for her biological father, including how the person who helped identify the Golden State Killer became part of her search team.

And of course, I couldn’t let her leave without some friendly competition. We take a spin around the block with cultural trivia and face some dilemmas that’ll have y’all asking yourselves what YOU would do.

Neighbors, which of Kerry’s characters would you invite to your house, and which one are you keeping outside? 😂 Let me know in the comments!

Neighbors, @JoshJohnsonComedy came through and I'm still in tears! I’ve never seen anyone approach a charcuterie board with as much wonder and genuine gratitude as Josh Johnson!

We talked about the work it takes to write new comedy every week, how he got The Daily Show gig, and his friendship with Trevor Noah. Josh also shared the inspiration behind his tour, Josh Johnson’s Comedy Band Camp, and his HBO stand-up special, Symphony. And if you’re making something of your own, listen to what he says about doing the work and betting on yourself!

Now I need to know: what’s your favorite charcuterie board combo? Cheese, cracker, spread, fruit. Give me the whole bite in the comments!
