Ep 130 | Democratic Playoffs Suck, 50 Shades of Gay, & OMG Look At Her Butt Sep 16, 2019

Too many democrats

John Bolton decides enough is enough

Black girls can't swim... because of their butts

ACLU opposes banning child marriage... for reasons.

Felicity Huffman is sentenced to a slap on the purse.

And Paul Mooney's sons both say their dad definitely didn't do bad things Richard Pryor's then teenage son. So that settles that. That's something we never have to bring up again.

Oh and there's no gay gene, so you won't ever be able to screen kids for their orientation. Love is always going to be an individual choice.

Ep 128 | Robots of Outrage, Beyonce Steals Africa, & How to Dismantle a Racist Jul 31, 2019

It's not racism, it's anxiety. Gun massacres replace officially replace baseball as America's past time. The Dems are about to do it again. Biden's got the lead, but Kamala's closing in for the kill. Mueller testified but the hallelujah choir is muted. Magic 8 ball, are we gonna impeach? Outcome is cloudy. Is it getting hot in here, or has the heat wave hit you yet?

Ep 127 | OMG The President is Totes Racist & When They See Us Gets Seen Jul 17, 2019

OMG, I think the prez is totes racist! Also, have you like watched that totally sad movie about the kids and the case of mistaken identity? Yeah, in the end they get confused for human beings. R. Kelly is back in jail with no bond and ASAP Rocky is still in Swedish jail for defending himself--justice is fickle. In better news, NYC totally backs your natural curl patterns and the rhinos are humping their way back to sustainability in Tanzania. That reminds me, are you seeing the Lion King next week?

Ep 126 | Kamala Hits Her Stride, Inequal Pay for Superior Play, & Free ASAP Rocky Jul 10, 2019

Kamala looks like she might be able to do it as Biden bites it in his first debate. The women's soccer team keeps winning on field but losing at the bank but Megan is our bae. ASAP Rocky gets locked up in Sweden and the conditions are oddly jail-ish. I thought they were the nice ones, right?

Ep 125 | Trump is Bad at Foreign Stuff, Democrat Cage Match, and Tyler Perry is Fine Chitterlings Jun 26, 2019

I will update this tomorrow. We talked about everything. Just listen. What else you got to do but wait for oil prices to skyrocket?

Ep 124 | VA Beach Weathers the Storm, Put Some Tarrifs on It, & Does She Really Gotta Have It Jun 05, 2019

Trump is in England. It's very classy and beautiful. While he's away, the GOP is finally considering at long last possibly if pressed and it's really, really necessary--they might push back on Trump's newly announced tariffs on Mexico. They are the party of trade, after all. Just like the Dems are the party of the people. Right? Well, the people want impeachment. We're waiting...

VA Beach is the latest scene of gun violence. 12 people lose their lives, and a community reckons with the incalculable collateral damage.

We watched "She's Gotta Have It" and we have thoughts and feelings! Let's get artsy. Hold us accountable at wokewithkids@gmail.com

Ep 123 | The War Against Women, Ben Carson's Oreos, and Who Will Definitely Be the Next President May 22, 2019

The incels attack women's right to give life freely, Ben Carver's Freudian slip reveals deep-seated internalized white supremacy and shame, while we present definitive, conclusive, ultimate evidence for who will absolutely be our next President. Hint: They're running.

Ep 122 | Florida Arms Teachers, John Singleton RIP, & William Barr is Lying May 03, 2019

Florida arms teachers and absolutely nothing will go wrong if precedent holds in that fair state of enlightenment.

John Singleton assured a generation of kids that someone knew, someone showed, and someone cared. He will be dearly missed. William Barr gets perforated by possible president Senator Kamala Harris, then decides to ignore a subpoena from Congress, setting up a standoff that threatens the balance of our coequal branches of our government.

The usual.

How to Rob Cardi B Edition, The Revenge of Jussie Smollet, & Mueller's Day Off Mar 28, 2019

It's Ep 120 (can you even?) and there are so many new things to talk about tonight. Your boy Jussie is probably feeling a lot like your boy Trump: very vindicated by murky dismissals of crimes that may or may not have been done, but who cares, because that's old news. Mueller finally dropped his report and boy was it a dud. Nobody cares. Especially not us hoi polloi who will never get to read it along with his tax returns that we have absolutely no legitimate reason to see (or not to see as the corollary implies). But whatever. Cardi B is in trouble right? Kanye may be holding his last Sunday Service and Kiley has appeared in public sans make-up. The world is chaos people. Let's figure it out.

Ep 119 | College Bribes, The Power of Now, & Michael Jackson Mar 16, 2019

Ep 116 | Jussie Smollet, Trump vs Intelligence, & Black Future Month Feb 03, 2019

Happy second day of Black Future Month, the month we envision all the possibilities of the black experience through the lens and context of our ancestral journey, while reminding our paler cousins of our shared participation in the one human race. But before we get all kumbaya, we gotta talk about Jussie and just how disappointing it is to be in 2019 and hearing the same ignorant echoes of the 19th century. Then let's dive into some Trump be Trumping as Individual 1 takes on his own intelligence department in a showdown to the doom. But don't worry there's plenty of Yes Yes Ya'll to exorcise the pallet and get us back right. I mean 11 year old physics savants anyone? Let's get woked.

Ep 113 | The Red Wagon, Trump Shuts Down, & Russia Wins Syria Dec 28, 2018

We took 3 short weeks off and damn near the whole world is going bananas. America is pulling out of wars faster than a pimple faced prom date and Putin couldn't be happier to see Afghanistan claim another super-power. At this, Mad Dog Jim Mattis snaps and writes Trump a very mean break-up letter earning him an early dismissal and leaving no adults left in the room. Did I mention there's a government shut down too? Or that the Mueller case is locking up thugs faster than the third act of a Scorsese film? This is America. Don't catch you slipping up. Nevertheless, there are bright spots on the justice front. If you squint you can almost see the silver lining in a new criminal justice reform bill adequately titled "First Step." Sounds like it may ease trumped up crack charges and increase earned "good time" for federal prisoners. Like it says, it's a "first step." But more than anything, there's one burning question we want the answer to: who is the King of R&B and what is a Jaquis? It's time to opine.

Ep 112 | Kevin Hart, The Golden Globes, & Lauryn Hill's Christmas Miracle Dec 07, 2018

Ava Signs with Warner Bros. for $100 million

Ep 110 | No Asylum, Tamara O'Neal, & Amazon's America Nov 21, 2018

This week we're talmbout the federal court system more specifically the Ninth just blocking Trump all up in the paint with his bs anti-immigrant agenda... where is the caravan bro, we see you... anyway, that, and also, Tamara O'Neal, very sad, god bless the dead, is the gun debate donezo are we even caring yo... but not to bum you out too much but also let's go into why working for amazon probably sucks on a Dickensian level and it's all because they don't have unions and trust me we've done this part of history before...

Ep 106 | Grab Em By the SCOTUS, Kanye West Doesn't Care About BLKPPL, & White Women Can't Kneel Oct 10, 2018

It's been a long time, we shouldn't left you, without a dope cast to step to, and there's so much to discuss. OMG. Did we just appoint another sexual assaulter to the Supreme Court?

Ep 86 | Austin is Explosive, Uber Kills, & the Last White Rhino Dies... Are You Happy Yet? Mar 21, 2018

I'm sure there is a prophecy somewhere concerning the death of the last white rhino and how it signals impending Armageddon. Well, toss that scratcher. Kids are playing the choking game to get high and the debate over guns is being determined by whether the last shooter was a good or a bad guy. Lupe Fiasco thinks Black Panther is just average and the world sighs. Check us out at wokewithkids.com. I'm so tired. It's almost midnight and we have to the get the kids up. Why do we do this? Somebody pray for us. Also, check out Al. He was on the bonus episode. Etc. I'm already asleep now.

This episode we are joined by KT and Gabby of the Talk It Out Podcast to talmbout the turnover rate at the Trump administration, the birth of Talk It Out, LGBTQ issues, intersectionalism, and how screwed exactly the millennials are in the work place, and is the gig economy the answer?

Ep 58 | Charlottesville! Aug 15, 2017

This week we're talmbout some Charlottesville. Among other things. Will we make it? Can we survive? Find out in this week's pulse-raising episode.

Ep 57 | Kindred and Confederacy Aug 08, 2017

Melissa was in a play about Kindred, a time-traveling scifi novel by the late Octavia Butler. Diamond & Silk are two Trump-supporting black women popping up everywhere... are they cooning or following their conscience? "Confederacy" is an unwritten HBO series that's stirred major controversy with its intention to depict an alternate world where the Confederacy did not lose the war and continued to modern times. Some people don't even want to see it made. Others think that's censorship. We untangle the nuance.

Ep 56 | Woke With Bad News Part II Aug 01, 2017

This week is very special. Al Billups, my cohost from We Come From Bad News, is on deck with his queen, Latrece, to talk about marriage, life and relationships. What are some of the delusions you had before getting married? Do you ever wish you married someone else? How do know you can make it through the hard times? We answer not a one of these questions and have a great time doing it.
