This week on We Playin’ Spades, business and pleasure get real tangled, real quick as Nick and Courtney face off with entrepreneur, Selling Sunset alum, and Nick’s baby mama Bre Tiesi, alongside Courtney’s homie Aminah Imani — comedian, actress, and mother with no filter.

Both ladies air out the raggedy sides of motherhood, while Bre drops her most toxic traits and how she and Nick really linked up. Aminah testifies about dating herself (yes, solo sessions count), Courtney argues that a good diner date can out-do half these fancy restaurants and Nick lectures them all about raising “soft kids.” And trust, the jokes land harder when everybody’s got history and the shade is coming from inside the house.

This week on We Playin’ Spades, it’s getting reasonably shady at the Turquoise Table because Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby have entered the backyard! The reigning queens of Real Housewives of Potomac pull up ready to talk their talk—and Gizelle wastes no time arguing with Nick about which school is the real HU (Hampton or Howard… let us know in the comments).

We get into the Grand Dame’s homecoming (with all due respect to the throne), Ashley gives us a live dissertation on Twerkonomics 101, and the table debates which Housewives franchise shows up to brunch looking… less than grand (we’re just calling a spade a spade, okay?) The shade is light, the laughs are loud, and the bids are locked. Grab your drink, grab your partner — because today? It’s not for the faint of wig.

This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick Cannon and Courtney Bee welcome the legend himself—Maury Povich! The man who turned “You are NOT the father!” into an era-defining moment pulls up to the Turquoise Table to talk legacy, laughter, and lies detected. Maury gets candid about the wild west of daytime talk in the ‘90s, why he walked away from sports journalism as a cub reporter, and how he managed to convince broadcast queen Connie Chung to say yes. Plus, he dishes on his latest chapter—his new podcast On Par with Maury Povich.

Joining him at the table is sharp-witted sports journalist Pablo Torre, known for mixing humor, intellect, and chaos in equal measure, and who recently broke the Kawhi Leonard saga. Together, Maury and Pablo turn the tables on Nick—asking the self-proclaimed “father of many” a few paternity questions of their own. It’s old-school media meets new-school mayhem—and when the cards hit the table, will the truth set ‘em free, or will somebody be shamed into running off set?

What up doe!? It’s a full-on roast-session this week on We Playin’ Spades because one of the greatest to ever do it joins Nick and Courtney in the backyard. Standup, actor, writer and master roaster Comedian CP pulls up to the turquoise table and he isn’t holding back. CP dives into his harshest hater, why who you cheat with matters, and the times roasting went wrong. Nick’s outfit also takes a beating, but CP doesn’t only dish ‘em out, he gets some heat from our hosts for everything from collecting Pokémon cards and playing with puppets, to his past jitting days. There’s also some quantum physics breaking our brains. The Detroit smack-taking is strong in this one, but is it enough to beat Nick and Courtney. Hit play, sit back and talk to your future self about this episode. It’s a good one!
