WRTR Real Talk Radio

We're joined by fellow podcaster eL Train from the Regally Ratchet Podcast this week, as we discuss women being arrested for taking birth control, JT's DUI, social media lawsuits and Afro Man's trial, along with some of the other most talked about stories in the news lately.

We need an encore of history. Soon....... as we talk about some of this week's headlines and stories. Anybody seen Bibi?

Between your president and a certain syringe, something stinks-- as we unpack some of this week's trending stories.

This week's tea brew is bitter, as the unrest has seemingly become less civil, tempers are shorter and people's patience is thinning. We're getting through it as someone's head-of-household has been seeking outside-of-the-household attention... and we eventually find our way inside of a 'Real Talk' discussion on student activism!

Marcus got banned from TikTok again and yes... we saw the Congressional Hearings too......

Our pre-game party today includes conversations about distractions, deflections and disappointments. Shout outs also to Goddess Mia from TikTok, who inspired our Real Talk discussion!

...we ALL can clearly see what happened to Renee Good! Will, Tyler & Donnie, y'all are on the docket also!

Happy 2026! It's our New Year Special Episode. Reflection, Adaptation and Realness. Join us!

Whew! It's a lot in this episode. We're talkin' about the Diddy documentary, Brandy's brother crashin' out, a Fire Fighter touching himself at work... all leading up to a real-talk chat about how and why we aren't eating at any work potlucks.

Take a trip with Marcus down memory lane from show clips back from the 2017 radio version of this show! Shout outs to former hosts HoneyB & DJ Clappa.

WHAT A WEEK for news! We're peeping the rumors circulating after the release of these 20K emails, discussing how suddenly many are trying to blur the lines for consent and discussing whether or not in 2025 you record yourselves doing "the do".

This news cycle is crazy-- but we're interpreting it as best we can... while looking at what many seem to be into. Hmm...

...we chose RATCHET this week. Come and join us as we dissect fandoms, this deteriorating political climate and... yes... a thermos.

Birthday behavior!

**FIRST 10 MINUTES OF AUDIO IS HELLA CHOPPY** ... but once you get past it, you're good. This week, we're talking Tyler's texts, internet scams, assassinations and teacher baes. Shout outs to Feedspot.com for featuring us among their Top 100 Black & Comedy Podcasts!https://podcast.feedspot.com/black_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_comedy_podcasts/

Why do we continue to talk to, platform and celebrate individuals that refuse to do better?

Discussions this week include whether you would tell your friend if her man got snipped, Smithsonian Museums being white washed and how far we can trust these "files".

This week, we're dissecting some interesting videos & simply asking would you do it for $30K? Before you hit 'play' I can only tell you it involves a plate.

This is exactly why we don't recommend shaking people's hands... coz EWWW!

Kicking off Season 3 of the podcast, but year 14 of the show's tenure with a little chatter about these Epstein Files & Diddy Trials. Y'all just refuse to hold men accountable for their BS, don't you?

Earplugs or Exit? You make the call.

It's amazing to see how much we've grown... kind of... maybe... well...

Dissecting the week with discussions about how to make an impact and managing what you feed your mind.

Whiskey-leaked again, Pam's purse got snatched, Shannon got sued..... and in case you didn't know-- everything ain't for the internet!

Interesting week we've had-- Keke cut Jonathan's interview, Republicans limit voter qualifications and Federal Judge jurisdiction and y'all are harassing some woman on the internet because she spoke badly about her own BBL. Strange times in 2025.

This week we SALUTE Senator Booker for his 25 hour long speech, while simultaneously witnessing the Trump tariffs tanking the market. And on 'Real Talk', we're discussing WHY we can't be the face of this 'Hands Off' country-wide protest.

Week 8 of this presidency & we've got vanishing veteran websites, poppers poofing off the shelves, threats to our foreign allies... and the girl that found her father's secret Tinder profile & showed it to her mama... and all of us.

This has been the week of Rep. Al Green's censure, more of y'all's president's lies, Umar's alleged secret churren & did you hear (or care) about R. Kelly's new jailhouse jams?

Did you hear the one about the man with a country full of lives in his hands that walked into an office asking two wealthy men (one white, one orange) for help and they wouldn't because they didn't like what he had on? Stop us if you've heard this one...

This week we're celebrating Kendrick's message & watching Issa and Shonda stand on business, while this administration pushes hatred by-way-of transgender army bans, social media posts and misinformation. Do you have a plan in place?

This week Janelle put Nelly on blast, Jaden wore a house on his head, wypipo are awakening to their faces being eaten by orange-supporting leopards & was anyone else's heart warmed by Beyoncé's award reaction? Aww.

The call is coming from inside of the WHITE House, America.

A day away from the incoming administration and the snakes are already revealing themselves. Stay safe out here, y'all. This week we're talking TikTok bans, oligarchies, Roseanne dropped a diss track..... and did Snoop just do what we thought he did?

It's our late ass holiday special.. coz we was busy or whateva! Unpacking 2024 and looking ahead to 2025.

Interesting how all of this unearned wealth continues to be hoarded, don't you think?

Awful week we've had. DEI rollbacks, Walmart boycotts, Aubrey's tantrums & now nekkid black body parts too?!

Happy Thanksgiving! Miss Treese (from the 'Talk2Treese' Podcast) joins Marcus this week for both a venting session and blending of ideas of maintaining personal wellness in this troublesome political climate.

Telling your friends about that "special thing" your man likes you to do to him may not work in your favor, girl...

Sometimes laughter and a little bit of cussing keeps you from completely giving up. Trying to remain both hopeful & comical, despite the odds being against us in this upcoming 'Trump America'. Spoiler Alert: it will not be raining stimmies.

VOTE! No make up test this time! We can't afford to miss the mark this time. Let's come together today for a better tomorrow.

What's killing relationships nowadays? We discuss this & more along with our special guest host & supporter, Eddie S. Pierce, Jr. of Rainbow Room Publishing, LLC.

This week, we're discussing how MAGA continues to take L's, the war on truthful information & how to be healthily selfish sometimes.

Bed bugs, Janet's word vomit, Marcellus Williams and your social media self representation.

It's been a busy week for criminals... and kissing cousins.

Marcus & Lyric get settled into their new duo-vibe, as discussions of how Kamala ATE that man alive (no pets), Shay Shay's alleged hack & y'all eating animals in Springfield are had.

Chatter about movies, Chase, Georgia, Lee Daniels... and the age limit on fun... all wrapped up in a nappy box Glenn Close can smell.

Lyric & Marcus are holding it down this week discussing the political climate, back to school & the "I Gotta Do My Research" type of people.
