Wrapping Up and Show Information

Political breakthroughs, celebrity breakups, and a gospel comeback—Rickey Smiley and the crew bring the headlines, heart, and humor. Journalist April Ryan joins the show to discuss Notes on a Blacklash: When a Black Woman Goes Viral,exploring the racial and gender-based attacks Black women face for showing up authentically. She celebrates historic election breakthroughs while reminding listeners that protecting democracy requires continued civic engagement, not just winning at the polls. Gary With the Tea then dives into Carmelo and La La Anthony’s confidential divorce settlement following their 2017 separation and her 2021 filing; reports differ on final court approval, and the undisclosed financial terms spark a hilarious debate over whether the public deserves to know their business. 

In What’s Trending, Tye Tribbett brings infectious energy and a moving testimony about reclaiming hope, faith, and joy after personal loss. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Victory, he previews V20: First Semester, arriving November 13, with a refreshed “I Want It All Back” featuring ABLAZE, and shares the joys of being a grandfather. The news roundup also explores Wall Street’s post-election rally and falling oil prices as investors weigh divided government, the Iran war, and future policy uncertainty. Gary rounds out the celebrity conversation with renewed claims from designer Wayne Scot Lukas about Janet Jackson’s 2004 Super Bowl performance—an account that conflicts with Jackson’s explanation that the exposure was accidental—keeping the conversation lively without treating allegations as established fact.
