Celebrating Juneteenth with Usher, Beyoncé and FKA Twigs Jun 19, 2024

Show notes

Happy Juneteenth, Richies! To celebrate this important day, we’re propping up just a few of our favorite Black celebrities who’ve been killing it this year. Like Usher’s spectacular Super Bowl halftime show, which was full of surprise guest performers. Then there’s Beyoncé, who crossed country music boundaries with her smash album, “Cowboy Carter.” Plus, we’re talking about another badass queen - FKA Twigs - and how she deftly handled the backlash surrounding her controversial Calvin Klein ad. We love any opportunity to celebrate Black artists on Juneteenth or any day.

George Lopez Heckled Off Stage Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

Last Friday, George Lopez had to deal with the bane of every comedian’s existence: hecklers. While performing at the Eagle Mountain Casino in Porterville, California, the legendary stand-up was interrupted several times by a of couple audience members of a sold out show. Instead of finishing his set, George left the stage about a half hour early. George’s team blames the casino for not controlling the crowd, but the casino says it’s all on on George. They say the “Lopez vs Lopez” star overreacted and that his private security team should have stepped in. Richies, looks like a classic case of “comedian said, casino said.”
