It's been a long time, I know. Life found a way to get in between me and this microphone again. But we're back tonight, and we got some things to discuss. Like what the hell is going on with Shannon Sharpe, and why is he acting like the community is wrong to give a side eye over some of his more personal choice brought into the public sphere? Was the NFL REALLY trying to make an example out of Shaduer Sanders, or did they media machine behind the Sanders family lead us to believe that to be so? A white woman in Minnesota creates a fundraiser to relocate after she was caught calling a Black child the N-Word? Republicans in Oklahoma are poised to change the social studies curriculum to insinuate that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen. The Trump Administration gets upset with Amazon for telling the truth about tariffs. And we'll also talk about the elevation of uninformed thought. As podcasting and social media have reached critical mass, more, and more uniformed influencers are flooding the space, and demanding the respect of those who are more learned, and informed. How do we, or should we battle a media landscape, where the loudest, and oftentimes, most wrong voices tend to get the most attention? So let's get right to it with the Real Talk, ALL THE TIME on the 72nd episode of Mr. Spann Official!

Tonight on Mr. Spann Official, we get right to it, because we had a lot happen this week. Trump gave a speech before a joint session of Congress and it was as contentious as one would expect for someone so prone to lying. Democratic congressman Al Green from Texas was censured by the Congress for his actions during the speech. One of the Trump lies was about the story he highlighted about a woman named January Littlejohn, and her child allegedly transitioning with the help of school officials without her consent. Stephen A. Smith finds himself being the story again. This time it was about a confrontation that he had with LA Lakers superstar LeBron James over comments he's made about James' son, and his place in the NBA. And while we're talking about the NBA, another superstar finds himself in the news for some unfortunate reasons. Anthony Edwards has been catching heat over the fact that he's been legally declared the father of a child that he wants nothing to do with. Many of the sports media world debating was he trapped by the child's mother, or should he step up and be a part of that child's life. A member of the Southern University Human Jukebox band was killed while participating in a pledging ritual with the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, bringing more scrutiny to the Devine 9 about their intake practices, and ways to prevent this sort of thing from happening going forward. A Detroit Police Officer has been suspended by the force for allegedly trying to groom the daughter of his girlfriend after text messages from him were found in her phone by her father. We've got all of this, and sooo much more. So let's get right to it with the Real Talk, ALL THE TIME on the 72nd episode of Mr. Spann Official!

Tonight on Mr. Spann Official, it's been a few weeks since the last time we got together, and a lot has happened over the course of those few weeks, we'll try to get to as much of it as we can in a reasonable amount of time. And as much as we hate it to be so, tonight's episode is going to be Trump heavy, so buckle up. Somebody done told that fool Stephen A. Smith he could be President, and he's starting to believe his own hype. Hip Hop conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Jaguar Wright is rewarded at Mar-a-lago? The state of Utah has banned their public workers and their unions from collective bargaining for wages and benefits. Amanda Seales comes after the 92% of Black Women who voted for Kamala Harris? Why is dysentery popping up in Oregon, Measles in Texas, and Tuberculosis in Oklahoma? Speaking of Oklahoma, why are the school choice vouchers benefitting the rich more than they are the middle class they were designed to help? Why is the USDA cutting agricultural scholarships that go to students attending HBCUs? Are straight people being discriminated against? And HOW did Donald Trump, in less than two months on the job, reduce the Presidency of the United States position from it's perch as the the leader of the free world in less than 10 minutes. We'll examine all of that and more tonight on the 71st episode of Mr. Spann Official!

Tonight on Mr. Spann Official, we were joined by our sister Cook Simmons of The HIGHly Inappropriate Podcast to talk about the consequences of voting, but unfortunately ran into some audio issues, and our sister had to bow out. But as the show when on, Spann speaks about how using your vote in a protest matter can horribly backfire on you. But not just you, those whom you would like to be aligned with now to advocate for your cause, while totally ignoring the plight of those who would normally be on your side. The gaslighting has got to stop. So we address it, right here on the 70th episode of Mr. Spann Official!

Tonight on Mr. Spann Official, Spann is recovering after watching his beloved Detroit Lions take an L in the NFL Playoffs after a tremendous season, we respond to a bit of Listener Feedback, and then we get into the show. A deal has been struck in the War in Gaza, and it's giving people the feeling like we've seen this movie before, and this is like the 3rd movie of the trilogy where the outcome of the war, and America's involvement in it, could tip the balance of an election. Stephen A. Smith now says that he's happy Donald Trump won, like we didn't already know. Meanwhile, Trump supporters are telling the world what they think of Black Trump Supporters. Speaking of Trump, are you happy that he "saved" TikTok, or are you mad at him for initiating calls for it's ban in the first place? Rappers, both Snoop Dogg, and Nelly have been receiving backlash for their willingness to perform at Inaugural events for Donald Trump. For Snoop, it's a far cry from how he talked about Donald Trump before. For Nelly on the other hand, he's responded to the backlash, and he probably shouldn't have. We'll show you why. And finally, why the hell is Lord Jamar arguing with a scientist on whether or not the earth is flat and becoming the living, and breathing embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect? The OGs, are failing us, and we discuss it right here on the 67th episode of Mr. Spann Official!

Tonight on Mr. Spann Official, we celebrate the 14th anniversary of Mr. Spann picking up a mic and becoming a podcaster! Then we get into some listener feedback before we jump into the business of the show. A older man in Detroit, along with his wife who's a Wayne County official got into a fight at a gas station over confusion about a 10 cent deposit on a drink with another customer? The world must have forgotten just how much of a tool Mark Zuckerberg is when he announced that all of the Meta Platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads will be pulling back on fact checking, and moving to a Twitter-like community notes model. The United States mourned the loss of Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States this week, but at his funeral, people have questions about why Barack Obama, and Donald Trump seemed so chummy with one another, why was that? TikTok is scheduled to be banned in America this week. What are the influencers planning to do with it's impending demise, or will Donald Trump attempt to save it after years of calling for is demise? And finally, There's another sex scandal at yet another Fox media outlet, as a woman is suing Fox Sports 1 for what she alleges were multiple sexual harassment incidents, and the creation of a hostile working environment for her. But it's been curious to watch where social media, and the Sports Bros

have decided to focus their attention as revelations of these charges were made public. We're going to discuss why that is. So let's get to it with more Real Talk, ALL THE TIME, right here on the 66th episode of Mr. Spann Official!

Tonight on Mr. Spann Official, we're joined by two longtime friends to The Spann Report Podcast Network, Rod & Karen of The Black Guy Who Tips podcast! We catch up with the homies before we get to the nitty gritty of the show. Like why are people still writing articles about whether or not it's hygienic to wash your legs during a shower? How are people coping with the banning of PornHub in Florida that went into place at the start of the New Year? With the United States Surgeon General suggesting that alcoholic beverages should carry a similar cancer warning like cigarettes, do we think that we'll see the same level of regulations around the advertising of alcoholic beverages as a result? Rickey Smiley just found out he has a pair of 5 year old twins? Why is singer Teedra Moses threatening to piss from social media users on Twitter after praising an R. Kelly song on the R&B Money Podcast? And finally, are we living in a post truth society where people can just create their own realities, or is there still time to pull back from the brink where truth still matters? We chop all of this up, and more tonight on the 65th episode of Mr. Spann Official!

Tonight on Mr. Spann Official, we got some following up to do, like did Lil Bow Wow set himself up to look silly by speaking on Travis Hunter over a fake post? And does Stephen A. Smith think we're all stupid, and didn't hear what he said? We follow up on him as he tries to reframe the discussion around his regrets around voting for Democratic candidates. And what exactly did that House of Representatives report say exactly about the allegations of having sex with minors levied at former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz? Are members of the "Abandon Harris," and Uncommitted Movement express trepidation over the next four years of a Donald Trump Presidency that they helped put in place? New York area Firefighters are expressing their anger at Congress for taking out funding they receive for World Trade Center related illnesses. You'd never believe who's responsible for the cuts. An HBCU band got an invitation to perform at Donald Trump's second inaugural parade, and they are asking for $350K in order to help them get there. Do you think they'll meet their fundraising goal? And a summer camp for sick children is closing in Minnesota, but the closing of this camp should actually be cause for celebration. So we're going to get right to it with the continuation of the Real Talk, right here on the 64th episode of Mr. Spann Official!
