  • Episode 68: Please Read or Be Read

    11/11/2020 Duración: 02h06min

    Read the room, America. In the first (and maybe only) episode of 2020, Major and Lise come back to talk mostly about a certain VP (and not True Jackson). A Memphis candy man is giving us a sweet tooth and pride. The king of trivia breaks our hearts and tragedy strikes another young artist with promise. We can’t keep up with the comings and goings in the Bold and the Baeless. Lise believes she brought luck to LA and Major tells us how many miles it takes to get to communication. It’s all the Politikin' for us and much more in What Had Happened Was. For Let's Talk About It Sis, the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had us filled with hope, joy, and prayers for Black women. Lise’s biscuits are burned by two people whose journey is all too familiar, and Major can’t comfort you for mistreating her. The GRITS We Love include an internet cousin and author along with a few Georgia peaches who put their game down, flipped and reversed a red state.
