This week on We Playin’ Spades, the Turquoise Table goes technicolor when TS Madison struts in—unfiltered, unbothered, and ready to run the whole Backyard Boogie.

From the first card drop, Maddie is giving full “mouth of the South” energy. She’s breaking down her rise from internet legend to Hollywood mainstay, recalling what it really feels like to get that call from Beyoncé (!!), and sharing the OG wisdom she picked up from Mama Ru herself (RuPaul, if ya nasty) — the kind of game that’ll shift your whole hustle if you’re paying attention.

But then in comes the curveball: Rodney Chester, Mr. Noah’s Arc royalty, who decides it’s his turn to talk across the board — to everybody. Rodney is giving unsolicited strategy and saying things that probably should’ve stayed in the drafts. TS tries to reel him in… but honestly? It’s too late. The table is fully in cancel-adjacent territory.

Meanwhile, TS keeps reminding us what makes her a force — she’s lifting others up every step of the way, pulling the next generation through the door instead of shutting it behind her, and dragging anyone who thinks she’s gonna dial it back to fit in.

 The cards? Chile…barely a factor.

The chaos? Peak.

The shade? USDA prime.

The laughs? Unholy.

It’s loud, it’s legendary, it’s a LGBTQ+ royalty takeover  — and the Turquoise Table may never recover. Pull up, if your edges can withstand it. 🃏🌈🔥

This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick and Courtney barely get a word in as comedy royalty Jackée Harry and Kym Whitley pull up to the Turquoise Table and immediately take over the Backyard Boogie.

From the jump, it’s nonstop talk-yo-shhh energy—classic Hollywood stories, unfiltered shade, and the kind of auntie humor you cannot rehearse. Jackée and Kym trade wild memories from Detroit to Def Comedy Jam days, break down how Hollywood really works, and prove why they’ve been legends for decades: fearless, funny, and absolutely ungovernable.

The Spades game? Almost secondary. Between eating chitlins with Aretha Franklin, reneging accusations, OG advice from icons like Diahann Carroll, and wagers that spiral completely out of control, this episode turns into a masterclass in Black table talk.

It’s loud, it’s legendary, it’s lovingly disrespectful—and it might be the most Black-ass game of Spades we’ve ever played. Pull up… if you can keep up. 🃏🔥

This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick and Courtney are up against some real competition. IRL partners Kirk and Rasheeda Frost are in the Backyard to lay down some Spades and life knowledge.

Plus, the crew debates the value of therapy, and Rasheeda gives Courtney some tips on how to find love, because it’s rough out here in these single streets. Take out your dangly earring, stay out the way, and get ready to watch Spades!

This week on We Playin’ Spades, we’ve got a real heavy hitter of the NYC comedy world and a member of the Wild ‘n Out family at the Turquoise Table. Rip Micheals squares up against Nick and Courtney, along with his Spades partner comedian Joe Show, and they’re bringing the trash talk.

Rip gives us some game on selling out arenas in NYC, how he learned the comedy business on his own, and why standup is more important than most things in his life. The crew gives Madea her flowers and debates whether she could beat Big Momma. And Rip opens up about his weight, recent health issues, and his love life. But the deep talk isn’t bigger than the smack talk at the bodega. Oh, and if you owe Rip some money, give him a shout! We’re laughing through the tears on this week’s episode of We Playin’ Spades!

This week on We Playin’ Spades, Big Daddy Kane rolls up to the Turquoise Table with a partner as iconic as he is—adult-film legend Heather Hunter. And the stories? Instant classics.

Kane breaks down the art of being a ladies’ man, why lyricism still rules the game, and drops rare, behind-the-scenes gems about Tupac, Queen Latifah, and a young Jay-Z.

Meanwhile, Heather flips everyone’s expectations—opening up about becoming a mom, confessing she still can’t twerk (despite the résumé), and explaining how she’s actually a conservative “Disney freak” with a wild past and a wholesome core.

It’s legends linking up, secrets spilling out, and the cards hitting the table harder than a Brooklyn beat. Pull up—this one’s for the culture and the plot twists. 🃏✨

This week on We Playin’ Spades, it’s generations of greatness in the bodega, as Nick and Courtney continue their NYC run with Kordell Beckham and his father Odell Beckham Sr. The dapper dad-and-son duo pull up to Turquoise Table with the family’s Spades legacy on the line.

Kordell tells us how he went from fueling planes on the tarmac to becoming head mack on Love Island, his path to acting on Reasonable Doubt, and how he became the King of Cheez-It Mountain. Plus, he settled once and for all who the best-looking Beckham is. Hint: it’s not big bro Odell Beckham Jr.

The senior Beckham also lays out why it’s always important to speak up for family, the wisdom he’s passing down to the younger generation, and why a mani-pedi once in a while is just fine.

It’s a family affair, but will the Beckhams beat the besties? Grab some crackers, put up your pedicured feet, and watch the show to find out.

This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick and Courtney welcome two Alabama slammers to the Turquoise Table: comedian and Daily Show alum Roy Wood Jr. and actor-director Andre Holland, the creative force behind their new film Love, Brooklyn.

Roy and Andre take us back to their Birmingham and Bessemer roots — from Roy debunking the myth that Alabama is all civil rights history and sweet tea — yes, there are gangs — to the teachers who stayed armed with paddles like it was part of the curriculum. The Table dives into bummy fathers, debates masculinity in Black media, and why emotional honesty still feels like a foreign language to half the men they know.

Roy breaks down the state of free speech in comedy(and why some folks just aren’t gonna vibe with what you’re saying, no matter how you say it), while Andre recounts the pure chaos and confusion he and the Moonlight cast lived through the night that infamous Oscar card got read.

Shuffle up and sip slow — these two are dealing all the wild stories today.

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.
