Rickey kicks off the show with a powerful prayer from gospel legend Bishop Marvin Sapp, but things heat up fast when the news turns to the mysterious death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. New autopsy details reveal shocking findings that have Rickey fired up and comparing the case to Emmett Till — but what exactly was found that has everyone questioning the grand jury's ruling? Then, Brat brings the heat in the Hot Spot with a story about OutKast suing an Oakland rapper over his name. Is "Ovrkast" too close for comfort, or is this a reach? We also shine a light on a Negro Leagues baseball Hall of Famer you've probably never heard of, and the crew debates which slang words deserve a spot in the dictionary. Oh, and Darius calls in with the most ridiculous excuse for missing work you've ever heard. Press play to find out what word Rickey thinks needs to be in Merriam-Webster.

PART 4

This Friday episode has everything. Bishop Marvin Sapp kicks things off with a prayer that sets the tone, but the news quickly turns heavy with the mysterious death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. New autopsy findings show no water in his lungs or stomach — yet a grand jury ruled it a drowning. Rickey goes off comparing the case to Emmett Till, and civil rights attorney Ben Crump joins the show to break down the Snapchat evidence, the blunt force trauma to the back of Nolan's head, and why this case could be a defining moment in the fight for Black justice under the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Gary With The Tea brings the fire: LeBron James' manager Maverick Carter is in court trying to zero out his child support, and an email he sent to his ex has the whole internet talking. OutKast is suing an Oakland rapper named Ovrkast over trademark infringement — but is it justified? Janice Dickinson is coming for Cardi B's runway walk and the crew is not having it. Michael B. Jordan is getting dragged for his haircut on a red carpet. Issa Rae accepted an award and called out rich white men for messing everything up. Chico Bean has a story about a Chili's waiter you have to hear to believe. And the crew debates which cartoon characters they find attractive. All that, plus Battle of the Sexes, a wild prank call about fluoride, new dictionary words, NBA player rankings, HBCU football, and a Dollar Tree prize package that will have you rolling. Press play — you'll want to hear every bit of this one.

Part 2

This is the deep dive you need to hear. The Rickey Smiley Morning Show sits down with civil rights attorney Ben Crump for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the mysterious death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells in Mississippi. New forensic evidence shows there was no water found in his lungs, stomach, or throat — yet a grand jury ruled his death an accidental drowning. Ben Crump walks through the recovered Snapchat messages, GPS data, and the two-inch gashes on the back of Nolan's head that nobody can explain away. Rickey asks the questions everyone is thinking: Can they go back to the grand jury? What happens when the federal government is controlled by an administration that won't help? And what did the governor of Mississippi say about Crump and Reverend Al that proves this case is bigger than one young man? Ben compares this fight to the days of Dr. King, Thurgood Marshall, and Emmett Till — and reveals what he found in those Snapchat messages that has him refusing to back down. This isn't just a story about one case. It's about whether Black parents will ever be allowed to get justice in America. Press play and hear what Ben Crump says about the secret grand jury process and why the silence of friends is more dangerous than the attacks of enemies.

Gary spills all the tea today and the crew gets heated. First up: LeBron James' longtime business partner and manager Maverick Carter is in court asking a judge to slash his monthly child support to zero for his 18-year-old daughter. Her mother, Crystal Streets, is firing back — and an email Maverick sent to his ex has the whole internet talking. The crew goes toe-to-toe over whether a man worth over $100 million should be forced to keep paying, whether LeBron's name should even be dragged into this, and Gary drops a line about food stamps that stops the whole room. Then Gary reveals what Janice Dickinson had to say about Cardi B's runway walk — and let's just say the crew is not here for it. Who cares what Janice thinks? But wait until you hear the comparison she made. Plus, Michael B. Jordan stepped out for a major red carpet gala and social media came for his hairline. Is skipping a fresh fade really making Black men look bad, or is the internet reaching? Gary thinks he should've stayed home with a stocking cap. You'll also want to stick around for Gary's Kahlua of the Day and his Color of the Day — one of them is named after a baseball legend and the other sounds like it belongs on a patrol car.
