Diddy the Old School Super Villain Sep 30, 2024

In a wild twist on the Amanda Seales Show, the spotlight turns to Sean "Diddy" Combs amidst the newly uncovered report about Kid Cudi’s Porsche being intentionally set ablaze back in 2012. While the Los Angeles City Fire Department confirms the fire was caused by an incendiary device, leaving a $10,000 damage bill, it’s Diddy who steals the show with a cheeky comparison: as much as his antics might paint him as a questionable character, he’d fit right in as an old-school Batman villain. Seales hilariously imagines Diddy’s dramatic flair, suggesting that his blend of chaos and charisma could easily have him plotting schemes in Gotham, proving that sometimes the line between celebrity and supervillain blurs just a bit too much!

It’s the Amanda Seales Show… I’m Amanda Seales… And now it’s time for 60 Second Headlines….

Story 1: Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a controversial bill into law that critics say would make it “more difficult” for people to vote. Senate Bill (SB) 189 means in part that people without a permanent address will need to re-register to vote… Challenges to those voter registrations will be easier to initiate… And this bill also requires counties to tally all absentee ballots within an hour of polls closing

Story 2: Snoop Dogg is spearheading a docu-series for E! Entertainment centered around the life of his daughter, Cori Broadus. The untitled series will follow 24-year-old Cori Broadus and her fiancé, Wayne Deuce, 31, as they navigate life leading up to their wedding day. Additionally, the docu-series will showcase the entire Broadus family as they rally behind Cori in her ongoing battle with health issues.

Story 3: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is repurposing the Bay State Correctional Center, a decommissioned prison, into a temporary safety net shelter for families facing homelessness. The facility, which has been in good condition since its closure in 2015, will feature play areas for children, and classroom spaces for adults to participate in activities aimed at fostering stability. It is expected to be operational by next month.

Story 4: Congratulations to 96-year-old Opal Lee, also known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth… She was recently honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom… And just last week, she also received an honorary doctorate's degree from Southern Methodist University.

Big Up - Goes to great security

A recent concert in Georgia turned into a disappearing act. Tyrese was in the middle of belting out his hit song "Why You Wanna Act Like That" when a security guard walked over and warned him that there was a process server at the show. Without skipping a beat, Tyrese bolted stage right, mid-song. He managed to yell out a quick “I love you guys!” but all the audience saw was ass and elbows. In the words of J B Smooth, ain't nothing faster than poooom!

Let Down - Bad recruiting tactics

The Miami Beach Police Department proudly introduced their latest recruitment tactic: a $250,000 Rolls-Royce patrol car. Because, you know, nothing says "protect and serve" like luxury wheels. Forget about offering competitive wages or ensuring psychological stability—let's just flash some bling and hope people sign up to play cops and robbers.

(3:21) - BLACKURATE NEWS

o Officials in California introduced a series of reparations bills as a part of the state’s effort to make amends for the long-lasting effects of slavery and systemic racism but no financial compensation was a part of the package.

o Democratic state assembly member, Lori Wilson: “While many only associate direct cash payments with reparations, the true meaning of the word, to repair, involves much more. We need a comprehensive approach to dismantling the legacy of slavery and systemic racism.”

o State Sen. Steven Bradford, a Democrat from Los Angeles, authored a clause called “property takings” which provides some monetary benefits. The provision would, “Restore property taken during raced-based uses of eminent domain to its original owners or provide another effective remedy where appropriate, such as restitution or compensation.”

(7:22) - POP CULTURE - SLEEP

I’m willing to bet y’all haven’t heard the term– sleep tourism.
Sleep tourism means people are traveling (or booking stay-cations) to sleep at hotels.
Hotels.com released a survey revealing that three out of four Americans said they slept better at hotels.

The reasons behind that include hotel amenities, the ability to forego responsibilities temporarily, and even better bedding.

WAS IT WRONG FOR JAY-Z TO USE THIS TIME TO CRITICIZE THE GRAMMYs WHILE ACCEPTING A GRAMMY? DOES HE GET CREDIT FOR ADVOCATING FOR BEYONCE (ESPECIALLY IN FRONT OF BLUE IVY)?

TINASHE THE LATE BOB MARLEY THE LATE NATALIE COLE THE LATE RONALD REAGAN
COMING UP THIS HOUR IN BLACKURATE NEWS: THE UNITED STATES HAS UPDATED THE TRAVEL ADVISORY FOR JAMAICA DUE TO WHAT THEY SAY IS AN UPTICK IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS. IN CELEBRATION OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH WE’VE ALSO GOT A MOMENT IN BLACK HOOD HISTORY. PLUS, THE BIG UP/LET DOWN… WHICH TODAY INVOLVES A CRITIC, A TIP AND AN APOLOGY.

(17:27) - BLACKURATE NEWS
IT’S THE AMANDA SEALES SHOW! I’M AMANDA SEALES… AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR SOME BLACKURATE NEWS. STORY 1: The U.S. State Department issued a Level 3 travel advisory for Jamaica, urging Americans to exercise “increased caution” due to an increase in violent crimes. According to the text, incidents such as home invasions, armed robberies, sexual assaults, and homicide are common in the country and sexual assaults are frequent, including at all-inclusive resorts. News Nation travel editor Peter Greenberg said “The good news is, in most cases, these crimes are not crimes committed or targeted at travelers or tourists. They’re gang versus gang crimes, much like we’ve seen in Mexico over the last 15 years. And the same applies to Jamaica.” Gotta be careful with ANY messaging coming from the U.S. What should be the travel advisories for people coming to America ? Be careful existing while Black.. Or gay… or non-Christian. DC and the Bay Don’t leave anything on your seats in Atlanta. Actually, if you can take the seat out of your car, do it. American tourism has really ravaged our caribbean countries Jamaica’s can’t even use the beach. Hawaiians don't want us there Just ‘cause we’re in the diaspora doesn't mean you won’t get jacked. Travel SMART.

(21:48) - A MOMENT IN BLACK HOOD HISTORY
It is Black History Month, but in this segment, we’re taking a different approach than repeating the same BHM talking points. This is your “MOMENTS IN BLACK HOOD HISTORY,” a tribute to little known historical facts that originated in the HOOD. Kool Aid was invented by a white man in 1927, but it was the Black community that transformed Kool Aid FLAVORS into COLORS. It was a summer day in the South. The Black mother standing inside the kitchen with a squeaky screen door, said to her Black child, “Go make me some Kool aid, to which the child replied, what kind?” Black mother said– RED Koolaid, and the rest is history. The child instantly knew his mother’s desires. The words “cherry or strawberry” Kool Aid haven't been uttered since. Thanks to Black people for the popularization of Kool Aid flavors!

IT’S THE AMANDA SEALES SHOW! I’M AMANDA SEALES… AND NOW IT’S TIME FOR!... THE BIG UP, LET DOWN. BIG UP -to food reviewer Keith Lee for defying the “black people don’t tip” stereotype. · Keith visited the Sweetly Seasoned food truck in Dallas. He told the owner to charge his card for $4,000. He decided to bless the owner, her son, and two individuals doing hair outside the truck He expressed that $1K should go to a barber, another $1K to a woman doing braids, and the rest to Kim Viverette (owner) and her son to help their business. BIG UP TO KEITH for leading by example and tipping, ‘cause some of us HATE TIPPING and will find any reason not to. Will order up the whole menu, Hennessey Mimosas, seafood towers, but get “cheap” when it’s time to tip. Update: the owner has apologized as she did not honor Lee’s request and instead kept the entire $4K LET DOWN - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE FOR IMMATURELY AND EMBARRASSINGLY LIVING UP TO HIS OWN SONG TITLE “SELFISH” Justin Timberlake told a New York City audience he’d “like to take this opportunity to apologize — to absolutely f---ing nobody,” just days after Britney Spears said she was sorry about comments in her book It was a profane non-apology to an Irving Plaza crowd right before he sang the 2013 hit "Holy Grail," a Jay-Z track he is featured on.

(2:49) - BLACKURATE NEWS

Lawmakers in Madison, Wisconsin, recently debated whether state colleges and universities should be barred from considering race or gender when determining if a student is eligible for aid (affirmative action).
Under the Republican bill, admission into programs, and tuition assistance that's aimed at disadvantaged students, could only consider the wealth of the student and their family.
Sen. Eric Wimberger, Republican of Green Bay, Wisconsin, one of the bill's co-authors, said he acknowledged the lingering effects of racism, but he maintained race-based programs and assistance in higher education would enable bad actors more than it'd help underserved people.

(7:47) - POP CULTURE

This story is the essence of “they should’ve never gave y’all social media.” Tyrese, who we all respect for his voice and talents… stay Tyresing. He posted a video of a Latino family doing family-oriented things, and in his caption demeaned and berated the entire BLACK race.

Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's 2020 election interference case, is postponing the trial until his appeals play out on the question of whether presidential immunity protects him from being prosecuted.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has acknowledged her personal relationship with Nathan Wade… the lead prosecutor on the Trump case, but says it doesn’t disqualify her.

Welcome Home Franklin! A new ‘Peanuts’ special will finally let Franklin, the first Black Peanut character, sit by White friends (Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Linus, Pig Pen and the gang).

Killer Mike's Grammys night came to an early end last night... because he was led out of the event in handcuffs -- after an alleged physical altercation with a security guard.

IT’S THE AMANDA SEALES SHOW… I’M AMANDA SEALES… AND IT’S TIME FOR BLACKURATE NEWS. Welcome Attorney Gerald Griggs back to the show. He’s an Advocate, Activist, and Justice Fighter. He’s here with us today with an update on the Ahmaud Arbury case… and the 3 white men that were convicted of killing him. Before we jump in, give us a brief overview of this case for those who may not remember.

(24:05) - ATTORNEY GERALD GRIGGS – Part 2

(28:39) - BIG UP, LET DOWN

BIG UP - to an almost bride-to-be in California for her generosity and foresight!! An anonymous woman in California learned “something” (hmmm) about her fiancé’ and decided to call their wedding off. BUT she’d already paid a $15k non-refundable fee for the wedding reception. Double BIG up: she donated the reception party to a non-profit called Parents Helping Parents which provides community support to parents with children who have special needs. AND she and her almost-husband didn’t waste anybody’s time or money by getting married into a chaotic situation. Some people would’ve been like, “Oh we finna have this reception, so we don’t waste money!”

LET DOWN - to piss poor journalism and cultural appropriation during Black History Month. Superbowl-bound Chiefs player Travis Kelce has made the news recently for popularizing the FADE haircut, y’all! Yes, the hairstyle Black men have been rocking since the Black ICE ages. New York Times’ Alyson Krueger titled an article, “They’ll Take the Travis Kelce — Hairdo, That Is.” Apparently a lot of men are taking to their local barbershops and asking for a haircut similar to Kelce’s. The article cites a TikTok video from barber Jeff Dugas saying that his brother came in with photos of Kelce for reference. It also cites a different TikTok video from barber Nigel Miller, who said his client was going for “that Travis Kelce look.” WHAT ARE WE DOING?! This is just bad journalism and poor research! White folks gone find a way to take the credit for Black swag one way or another. On the football field, behind a typewriter, in the newsroom…

(37:23) - BLACKURATE NEWS

America is not a racist country they say! Well why was the statue of the first Major League baseball player, Jackie Robinson, cut off at the ankles and burned in Wichita, Kansas? You heard me! Someone(s) cut the statue off at the ankles, stole it and it was later found burned in a public trash container. Thanks to a GoFundMe campaign, at least $175,000 has been received to fund the replacement. Other facts The Jackie Robinson statue, which officials valued at $75,000, was designed by the late artist John Parsons. Lutz previously said the new statue will be created from an existing mold of Parsons’ original work. Money that is raised beyond the cost of the statue’s replacement will go toward supporting the league and improvements at the pavilion where the statue is displayed, including additional security, according to League 42.

It’s the Amanda Seales show, i’m Amanda Seales.. And it’s time for blackurate news…

We extend our deepest condolences to the loved ones of the three black american soldiers killed in a drone attack in jordan last weekend. They were killed in their housing units at an american military outpost in a country that is strategically located in a region beset by military conflict, including iran, which is believed to be the source of the fatal drone attack. The dominance of black americans in military service makes them most likely to be put in harm’s way on behalf of the nation. Soldiers are often offered large signing bonuses (especially for potentially hazardous military jobs), but don’t know what they’re signing up for. They’re deployed and either become casualties, or return and suffer from ptsd and suicidal thoughts. Recruiters go to the hood to manipulate and exploit the impoverished or less fortunate.

It’s the amanda seales show… i’m amanda seales with a lighthearted story!

It’s the amanda seales show… i’m amanda seales… and it’s time for the big up/let down!

Big up -to target!!! For endorsing black joy (before black history month) they dropped a popular clothing collection with the slogan, “black joy is revolutionary.” It looks fly. Word on the street is it feels fly too. Carlton mackey the creator of black men smile®, said, “we believe that black joy is revolutionary because of all that it must resist and the ways it must persist in order to simply exist.”

Let down - to the white lady who went to that same target and was so disturbed by black joy that she tweeted about it. · in response to a black little girl smiling on a poster in her black joy outfit, @ deb_ fillman’s tweet said: o target is

insufferable. Had to do a return and can’t wait to leave. Ma’am. How the f is a black girl’s smile insufferable?! That you are free to display your racism on a platform run by a racist (musk) is insufferable what would you rather see? A poster of a black family frowning and struggling? Who knew black joy got karens’ drawls in a bunch?

You know what – i’m feeling spicy today. How about we have a double let down. The second one goes to……… niccas (lil scrappy on a podcast) who run their mouths ( trying to out me) better yet… i’mma address this on my patreon.

Coming up:

(37:28) - am i trippin - part 1

It’s the amanda seales show… i’m amanda seales and now it’s time for am i trippin.

This is the time when i get to give you advice… and i’ll also keep it real with you.

So let’s get into it:

This dm is from nicole … she says… hey amanda i really need your advice on this… and i hope you can help me…. I’m in a situation with one of my besties and… i’ve known her for years… we went to high school and college together… we’ve been there for each other through the good and the bad… she’s like a sister to me… but…. She has a boyfriend and i hate the way he treats her. He talks to her crazy… he’s really mentally abusive… and she doesnt see it… she also recently gained a little wieight and he often times has pretty much body shamed her… i wouldnt be surprised if hits her… when i talked to her about it she makes excuses for him and says things like he’s just playing. I don’t like the person she is becoming while dating him… it’s like she’s no longer the friend i grew up with… i told her that i was going to talk to her family namely her brother or father about her man, and how he treats her… i really think she needs help.

But she says if i tell anyone our friendship is over.. Because she loves him, and she’s probably going to stay with him. She says even though we’re friends i need to mind my business…

But i think i’m going to tell any way… and i hope i wont lose her friendship. So amanda please tell me… is this any of my business or not… am i trippin?

(40:08) - am i trippin part 2

Earlier this hour i shared nicoles dm… her bestie is in what she thinks is an abusive relationship. Her boyfriend talks crazy to her, body shames her, and nicole even thinks he’s probably been physically abusive her. She says her bestie is even turning into a different person while being with this man.

She told her bestie that if she didnt leave this guy that she was going to tell her family what’s goin on…. Her friend says it’s none of her business and if she tells, their friendship is over…

So she wants to know if she if she’s trippin because she feels like it is her business to get involved.

(44:29) - blop quiz

And now it's time for a blop quiz issa black pop quiz what it is.

(49:15) - and another thing

Getting involved with your friends and their business.

Rounding up the hour, we breeze through 60-Second Headlines covering Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's hospitalization, Nia Long and Ime Udoka's custody agreement, a stage adaptation of Prince's Purple Rain, and Ja Morant's unfortunate injury in the NBA.

Jo Koy Hosted The Golden Globes, What Happened To The Black Judge Presiding Over Trump’s Case, & Are Podcasts The New Mixtapes? Jan 10, 2024

In today's episode, we tackle the alarming trend of "swatting," not the buzzing flies kind but the incident where a Black judge, Tanya Chutkan, overseeing a Trump case, experienced an attempted swatting attack at her front door. Unraveling this issue sheds light on the seriousness of such pranks.

Next, we dive into comedian Jo Koy's hosting of the Golden Globes. Critics are claiming he didn't do well. Drawing on personal experience as an awards show host, Seales shares her insights and advice in the Am I Trippin segment. In the realm of podcasting, we examine rapper Cam'ron's remarks on racial and ethnic identity, particularly identifying as "Black" versus "African American." A call for unity and acknowledgment of our connectedness forms the basis of this insightful conversation.

Switching gears, we explore a concerning study indicating that online racism has detrimental effects on Black youth, potentially leading to symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder. This leads to a broader discussion about fostering a positive online environment.

W touch on Pope Francis's call for a universal ban on surrogate motherhood, Usher's commitment to a sugar and alcohol-free Super Bowl Halftime Show, and Lisa Bonet filing for divorce from Jason Momoa.

In Blackurate News, we highlight the swatting incident involving Judge Tanya Chutkan, Jo Koy's hosting critique, and present the Big Up/Let Down segment. We discuss the unusual but confident pitch from Ja Rule to Nike following their split with Tiger Woods, and a let down to NBA Young Boy for his candid stance on fatherhood.

A personal anecdote from hosting the BET Awards in 2020 provides an insider's perspective, and we dive into the Am I Trippin segment featuring a listener's story. The episode wraps up with a Black Pop Quiz, the Word of the Day ("arduous"), and the ever-entertaining Politicians Say the Darndest Things!

Texas preacher, T.D. Jakes, found himself at the center of a social media rumor mill accusing him of appearing at Diddy’s sex-charged parties.

FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:

(2:50) - A Tunisian member of Parliament objected to Denzel Washington’s casting as the Carthaginian general Hannibal, who was born in Tunisia. (Hannibal’s skin color is not known)

French-language Tunisian news outlet La Presse published an article saying the casting created “a historical error,” and some users accused Netflix of promoting “woke culture”. Earlier this year, Netflix cast Adele James, an actor of mixed heritage, as Cleopatra, which prompted the Egyptian antiquities ministry to publish a statement declaring that the pharaonic leader had “white skin and Hellenistic characteristics”. Here at The Amanda Seales Show, we will pit some of our best Black actors against anybody to BODY ANY ROLE!

(7:38) - Eighteen companies have terminated their partnership with Sean Combs' e-commerce platform Empower Global after a string of sexual abuse allegations were brought against him. To date, there have been four suits filed against Diddy, dating back to the very beginning of his career in the record industry in the early '90s. So, we want to ponder the question, is Diddy the Harvey Weinstein of hip-hop? And if so, what now?

(13:19) - STORY 1: The Wu-Tang Clan announced that they will be holding a Las Vegas residency in 2024. It will begin Feb. 9, coinciding with Super Bowl weekend.

STORY 2: The College Board has released an updated framework for its new Advanced Placement African American Studies course, months after they came under intense scrutiny for engaging with conservative critics.

STORY 3: President Joe Biden will hold his first in-person meeting with the families of Americans taken hostage by Hamas today.

STORY 4: Cardi B and her husband, Offset, have parted ways. In a recent Instagram Live she said that she’s BEEN sharing clues that they are no longer a couple.

(15:28) - IT’S TIME FOR WHY YOU BRINGING UP OLD ISH AND BACK WITH US TODAY IS GARRISON HAYES. He’s a filmmaker, creator, and entrepreneur who amplifies stories that change the world. And he’s here with us today. Garrison Hayes… welcome back to The Amanda Seales Show. You are here today to break down the history behind whiteness and how did white people become white people.

(20:00) - COMING UP THIS HOUR… IN BLACKURATE NEWS: THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT TRIED TO CONTROL A PREGNANT WOMAN’S BODY, AND SHE TOOK MATTERS INTO HER OWN HANDS. PLUS, WE’VE GOT “THAT’S NOT MY MINISTRY” WITH RITA BRENT! PLUS, TODAY’S BIG UP/LET DOWN WHICH INVOLVES MC HAMMER, ANDRE 3000, AND AN INFAMOUS CHAIR.

(22:23) - The Texas Supreme Court ruled that Kate Cox could NOT obtain an abortion under the state’s “medical emergency” exception. She sought the abortion after learning her fetus has a fatal condition and doctors told her she could risk her future fertility if she doesn’t get the procedure. On Monday, the Center for Reproductive Rights announced the 31-year-old mother had left Texas to get health care elsewhere following what the group that represents Cox described as “a week of legal whiplash.”

(25:57) - That’s Not My Ministry w/ Rita Brent #Tattoos

(29:03) - BIG UP - to the Montgomery Brawl folding chair‘s WHITENESS for paying off! The Black man, Reggie Bernard Ray, captured on video wielding a folding chair during the viral brawl in Montgomery’s riverfront park will avoid jail time! He’s been ordered to perform 50 hours of community service and pay $357 in court fees. Thank GOD that folding chair was white! If it were black, Mr. Ray would be UNDER the jail! Black folks, we’ve found a loophole. Put the pistols down; pick the folding chairs UP!

(33:58) - LET DOWN - To our hip-hop heroes for putting their Bengay before the culture. MC Hammer and Andre 3000 have made headlines recently for comments on why they are declining to participate in hip-hop celebrations, honors, and awards shows.

Amanda kicks off by acknowledging "Universal Health Coverage Day" but expresses the need for concrete laws rather than just a day. Then Amanda and the team cover everything from Doja Cat's explicit warning to her white fans during a live performance to voting and venting the 60-Second Headlines about Disney's collaboration with Brittney Griner and Sudan's efforts to end war.

Did you know that comedians are declining to host the Golden Globes, or that 50 Cent is talking about producing a documentary on Diddy? Find out more on this episode of The Amanda Seales Show.

The show dives into Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley demanding $4.9 trillion in reparations for slavery from the United Kingdom. Amanda also takes a moment to remix a Christmas carol, reclaiming and rewriting the controversial history behind "Jingle Bells." The Big Up/Let Down segment features Adele's confidence and Meta's Instagram ad-blocking controversy.

Desmond Thorne joins Amanda for the "Watch Don't Watch" segment, offering recommendations on what to watch. The episode wraps up with the squad sharing how black they feel today and the word of the day, "Quixotic." The episode concludes with a segment on politicians saying interesting things, featuring a quote from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about President Biden and his administration.

Listen, Laugh, and Learn on The Amanda Seales Show!

FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:

(2:08) - In a recent live performance, singer and rapper Doja Cat issued a very particular warning to her white fans. Just to reiterate, she said “WATCH YOUR MOUTH IF YOU WHITE,” as the song went into the hook– “N-ggas ain’t shit, come up in your crib/ All up in your fridge, can’t pay rent.”

(7:30) – Voting & Venting: Let’s Go To The Phone Lines.

(12:56) - HERE ARE YOUR 60 SECOND HEADLINES!

STORY 1: Disney has partnered with Brittney Griner to produce several projects based on her yearlong Russia detainment, including a documentary by ESPN Films and a limited series with ABC.

STORY 2: The heads of the rival factions in Sudan, Burham and Hemedti are planning to meet to discuss ending the Sudan war.

STORY 3: Chris Rock and other top comedic talent decline offers to host the Golden Globes… At least four other A-list comedic actors. A representative for Rock declined to comment.

STORY 4: 50 Cent is taking aim at Diddy and his series of alleged sexual assaults by producing a documentary. His production company is reportedly planning to donate all proceeds from the documentary to rape and sexual assault victims.

(19:52) - Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley said that her country is owed $4.9 trillion in reparations for slavery.

(24:04) - We know Tik Tok is full of challenges. One caught our ears with the Gen Zers remixing Christmas carols. Let’s listen to one. I thought it might be fun to remix my own Christmas carol, but not just any ole one– Jingle Bells, WHICH, if you didn’t know… Was performed at Ordway Hall on Sept. 15, 1857, in blackface, during a minstrel show! James Lord Pierpont was the writer and composer who also wrote confederate anthems during the Civil War.

(27:31) - BIG UP - TO ADELE’S UNMITIGATED GALL & CONFIDENCE

In an interview she said– “With my music, and for whoever listens to it, I think I’m not the best singer in the world at all, but no one else can sing my songs like me because they didn’t write them. No one can sing my songs like me, period.”

“The lyrics are not their own, and I don’t think anyone else should sing my songs.”

“The Queen of Soul might be the one exception. Apart from Aretha Franklin,” Adele amended when asked about the late legend’s cover of “Rolling in the Deep.”

LET DOWN - Even robots are racist, y’all!!

Black-owned athleisure wear brand Actively Black took to social media to call out Meta’s Instagram for unnecessary ad-blocking.

The first ad celebrated Black women, the second was Actively Black’s impact report, the third was the brand’s Black First collection, the fourth was their collaboration with the All Power to the People Project, and the last was the collaboration with John Carlos.

(32:27) – And another thing!

(35:44) - And now it’s time for Watch Don’t Watch. My special guest is… Desmond Thorne joins us to tell us what we should Watch and what should not waste our time watching.

(39:56) – The squad is here to tell you How Black We Feel Today!

(44:17) - IT’S TIME TO LISTEN, LEARN AND LAUGH… WITH THE WORD OF THE DAY… THE WORD OF THE DAY IS:

QUIXOTIC (kwik-SAH-tik) (Adjective)

Describes people and ideas that are foolishly impractical, especially as they pursue or relate to the pursuit of ideals.

A quixotic person is often known for lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action.

It can also describe things that are predictable

(47:41)- POLITICIANS SAY THE SMARTEST THINGS

IT’S THE AMANDA SEALES SHOW, I’M AMANDA SEALES….

REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (AOC) SAID THIS ABOUT PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION:

“The Biden Administration can no longer reconcile their professed concern for Palestinians and human rights while also single-handedly vetoing the UN’s call for ceasefire and sidestepping the entire US Congress to unconditionally back the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.”

Amanda Seales dives into today's clubbing experience and what millennials miss about going to the club back in the day. TikTok videos suggest that nightlife in 2023 doesn't align with the expectations shaped by music, TV, and movies. The conversation opens to callers sharing their perspectives on clubbing in the 90s and early 2000s.

Amanda is also joined by journalist and author Charles Blow to discuss reasons for relocating, the decision-making process, preparation, fears, and cultural differences.

The Group Chat then transitions to the topic of parental support, raising questions about where to draw the line. The squad discusses instances where parents go viral for extreme actions, like putting a pregnant daughter out of the house or discouraging a son's basketball dreams. The episode concludes with a Celebrity Confession from JT from City Girls.

Diddy Steps Down From Revolt, Charles Barkley and Gayle King Collab, and What Happened With T.I. and Tiny’s Son King Nov 29, 2023

Amanda kicks off by checking in on everyone's post-Thanksgiving food comas and highlights that it's National Lemon Cream Pie Day (lactose-intolerant folks beware!). The show delves into crucial topics, starting with a U.S. Court of Appeals decision impacting discrimination in state and local elections laws, potentially affecting voters of color nationwide. The trial of rapper Young Thug takes center stage, Tiffany Haddish's recent arrest, Charles Barkley and Gayle King's collaboration, and Sean 'Diddy' Combs stepping down from REVOLT.

Blackurate News brings global perspectives on leaders calling for a ceasefire, and Rita Brent's "That's Not My Ministry" warns against discussing a certain celebrity's daughter. The Big Up/Let Down segment applauds white co-conspirators and criticizes T.I. and Tiny's son King. Professor Supreme presents a Black Pop Quiz on current affairs. The episode wraps up with "And Another Thing" discussing George Santos' congressional fund spending on OnlyFans and Sephora, and Amanda's signature Word of the Day – "Disabuse."

FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:

(4:19) - Jill Stein announced that she would seek the Green Party nomination for the second time. Stein’s case for her candidacy, as she tells it, is to “offer a choice for the people outside the failed two-party system.” Stein’s abrupt relaunch into presidential politics comes weeks after Cornel West, a leading academic and progressive activist, decided to run as an independent after formerly campaigning with the Green Party.

(8:47) - Judge Ural Granville granted prosecutors the right to present a collective of Young Thug’s rap lyrics in the trial against him and his YSL (Young Slime Life) associates amid their controversial RICO case. While Young Thug’s defense team assured that the singles were only done in an artistically-driven manner, the court settled unfavorably, reportedly citing that their stance was “ridiculous.” Rapper Meek Mill said: “Locking us [up] for rapping got me scared to do [an] interview. Free Jeff. Free Lucci.”

(14:30) – 60 Second Headlines

STORY 1: Sen. Tim Scott has announced that he is suspending his presidential campaign, which failed to meet high expectations that the South Carolina Republican would at least go deep into the primary season.

(24:56) - Am I Trippin? Every day we all have those moments that make us double take, scratch our chins, and ask ourselves, am I trippin? Well, when you do, send us a DM @SealesSaidIt and tell us about your dilemma, and I’ll weigh in on whether you’re tripping like Ella Mai or somebody playing in your face. TODAY’S DILEMMA: My best friend has been dating this guy for about 6-7 months now, and it’s been clear that she isn’t into him like he’s into her. He’s not a bad guy or anything, but from what she says, he’s just not keeping her attention. I think it’s partially because her ex spun the block recently to holla, but that’s a whole other story. Anyways, she decided to just break up with her current boyfriend about 2 weeks ago, and I ran into him at a mutual friend's party. He was clearly still upset and literally was crying on the balcony asking if there was anything I could do to help him save the relationship. I do feel bad for him, but I’m not trying to be in my friend's relationship drama. Am I right for staying out of it, or am I tripping?

(26:30) - It’s The Amanda Seales Show… I’m Amanda Seales… Last break we introduced a new segment called “Am I Trippin?” where I weigh in on the dilemmas that have you conflicted. Today’s question came in anonymously from a friend conflicted on whether they should get involved with their best friend’s relationship after her ex was asking for help getting back together. They don’t want to but feel bad for the guy. Here are my thoughts:

(29:17) - Big Up - shout out to André 3000! Announced a debut solo album titled “New Blue Sun". A couple of titles of tracks on the album: Dreams Once Buried Beneath The Dungeon Floor Slowly Sprout Into Undying Gardens; That Night In Hawaii When I Turned Into A Panther And Started Making These Low Register Purring Tones That I Couldn't Control ... S*** Was Wild. On this album, he is reintroducing himself as a flutist. Let Down - WAIT WHAT?! HE’S PLAYING FLUTE AND NOT RAPPING?! I CHANGED MY MIND; THIS IS A LET DOWN.

(34:05) - Our phone lines are open, 24/7 at 855-AMANDA-8. That’s 855-262-6328! I always like to hear from you. So call me!

(37:45) - Coming up this hour…. Why you bringing up old ish; That’s not my ministry with Rita Brent; Professor Supreme will join us with a Blop Quiz. Issa Black Pop Quiz, what it is.

(54:16) - Politicians say the darnedest things. During a hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.. Senator Markwayne Mullin (46) challenged Teamsters President Sean O’Brien to a fight.

DoorDash’s New Tipping Policies, J. Cole vs Soulja Boy, and Violent Protests Are Breaking Out In Bangladesh Nov 08, 2023

In this episode, Amanda Seales covers a variety of news and topics. She discusses how the handling of the war in Gaza by President Biden might affect young voters' turnout in the upcoming elections. DoorDash is warning customers that they may receive slower service if they don't tip their drivers, a move aimed at encouraging better compensation for delivery personnel. The episode also touches on issues like the Supreme Court's decision regarding domestic abusers' rights to gun ownership and the recent beef between Soulja Boy and J. Cole. Moreover, there's a segment on the theft of oxtails by two Texas men and their humorous yet somewhat impractical approach to it. It also highlights significant legal issues and features an amusing "Issa Black Pop Quiz" to round out the episode.

Listen, Laugh, and Learn with The Amanda Seales Show

FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:

(02:35) - The leaders of progressive groups focused on mobilizing young voters are warning President Biden that his handling of the war in Gaza could depress turnout in a demographic that’s already notoriously difficult to energize on Election Day.

(08:19) - If you are thinking of skimping on a DoorDash tip, do so at your own risk. DoorDash is testing a new system and warning their customers that you may get bad or slow service if you don’t tip your driver. If you try to place an order through the DoorDash app without leaving a tip, you may get this pop-up: “Orders with no tip might take longer to get delivered — are you sure you want to continue?”

(15:15) - Not My Ministry – w/ Rita Brent #LilKim #Draws

(21:27) - Levi's and H&M are among top global clothing brands to suffer production halts in Bangladesh, after days of violent protests by workers demanding higher wages. Bangladesh's 3,500 garment factories account for around 85 percent of the South Asian country's $55 billion annual exports, supplying many of the world's top names in fashion. But conditions are dire for many of the sector's four million workers, the vast majority of whom are women whose monthly wages start at 8,300 taka ($75).

(26:33) - Soulja Boy has had a change of heart after going at J. Cole for “dissing” him. Last week, J. Cole went on Lil Yachty’s podcast and had this to say about Soulja Boy’s emergence in hip hop.

(32:20) - BIG UP - To TWO TEXAS men who “allegedly” stole over $1,000 worth of Ox Tails– for being modern-day Robin Hoods and doing the Lord’s work (as we get closer to Thanksgiving). Two Texas men were arrested for allegedly making off with almost 50 packs of expensive cuts of meat from various grocery stores. The oxtails, shrimp, lamb chops, steaks, and brisket reportedly came from four separate stores– Walmart, H-E-B, Food Town, and Kroger. STORES BE RUNNING OUT OF ISH! THIS IS GOOD OLE’ PREPAREDNESS AND FORESIGHT. FURTHERMORE, STORES HAVE BEEN PRICE GOUGING OXTAILS. I AM CONVINCED THEY WERE GOING TO SELL THEM AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE TO THE HOOD!

(37:28) – We’ll go to the phone lines.

(39:43) -COMING UP THIS HOUR IN BLACKURATE NEWS:

(41:49) - The Supreme Court seemed likely this week to preserve a federal law that prohibits people under domestic violence restraining orders from having guns. The case before the court involves a Texas man, Zackey Rahimi, who was accused of hitting his girlfriend during an argument in a parking lot and later threatening to shoot her.

(03:50) - Ohio’s Republican secretary of state quietly canceled the voter registrations of more than 26,000 voters in late September.

Suspicious, as this happened less than two weeks before the deadline to register to vote in next week’s hotly contested abortion referendum in the state. It’s unusual to remove voter registrations this close to an election given the risk of disenfranchising people who intend to vote but simply missed the memo that they had been flagged for removal.

(41:02) - According to the polls, former President Donald Trump led President Joe Biden in five battleground states in a hypothetical matchup ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Even a year before the 2024 presidential race, Trump has long been the frontrunner in the crowded field of White House hopefuls.

The models shared that they’ve seen staff use racial slurs in front of them, and hairdressers are not shy when it comes to making derogatory and degrading comments about their hair. Two models said they discovered they were grossly underpaid compared to their white counterparts.

(7:47) - It’s the Amanda Seales Show, I’m Amanda Seales… And now it’s time for a segment, we’re calling “Voting and Venting."

Voter apathy is a serious issue in the Black community for numerous reasons, like, ya know, voter disenfranchisement! But I personally believe that with more historical knowledge and current information, our belief in the political system can be restored. In this segment, we’re gonna vent a little, but also weigh in on some important voting matters with experts.

(11:04) - 60 Second Headlines

Story 1: Today areas of West Maui will reopen to tourism following the deadliest US wildfire in more than a century.

(18:30) - Bowie State University is the first HBCU to offer Maryland inmates the opportunity to complete study courses. Students can get their degree while behind bars, all thanks to a partnership between Bowie State and Jessup Correctional Institute. Since the initiative launched this year, seven men who are studying to obtain either a bachelor’s degree or Entrepreneurship certificate have completed their first semester.

(21:57) - That’s not my ministry with Rita Brent.

(26:00) - Big Up - Goes to Lauryn Hill’s fans for sticking beside her! Recently announced she is postponing her Fort Worth Tour Date To “Rest The Voice” due to vocal strain. She’s had a history of showing up late to shows and performing for a brief time. Fans continue to buy tickets, support, and root her on. Side note: Beyonce did 50-11 shows domestically and internationally, while being a mom, dancing hard AF, dropping a perfume line, and didn’t complain about vocal or body strain. Maybe Lauryn needs to be on her diet OR let the crowd sing the lyrics.

Let Down - To Joe Smith and his wife for doing a live advertisement on Twitter, thinking we wouldn’t figure it out! His longtime partner posted a video of him reacting in real time to her saying she has an Only Fans account.

Amanda starts by highlighting the declining faith and trust of Americans in core institutions and Republican leadership.

Amanda covers more news, from a Black NYU law student's job offer being rescinded to Tyler Perry's insights on his non-deal with Paramount Global to buy BET. The episode wraps up with "How Black Do You Feel Today," the Word of the Day, and a segment on the darndest things politicians say.
