Becoming A Comedian

From a powerful day of remembrance to headline-making revelations in music, sports, and the courtroom, this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show brings reflection, debate, and plenty of unfiltered reactions. The crew marks the 25th anniversary of September 11 by sharing where they were when the attacks unfolded and honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed, the first responders who ran toward danger, and those still living with illnesses tied to toxic exposure. This year’s Ground Zero ceremony added a permanent seventh moment of silence for the thousands who later died from 9/11-related illnesses. Gary With the Tea also breaks down Aaron Rodgers’ new account of his broken engagement to Shailene Woodley, including his claim that she wanted to be with someone else shortly after accepting his proposal. Rodgers says he spoke publicly to challenge what he considers false narratives about their split, while Woodley has not responded to his latest allegations. 

The legal headlines heat up as the show reacts to a California appeals court rejecting Jay-Z’s attempt to revive his extortion and defamation lawsuit against attorney Tony Buzbee. The unanimous panel found no evidence that Buzbee knowingly advanced false claims and ruled that his pre-suit demand letter was protected by litigation privilege; Buzbee now says he will pursue reimbursement of his legal expenses. On the music front, Quavo confirms that he and Offset plan to reunite Migos for one final album and tour, promising to do it “right” after years of tension, separate solo careers, and the devastating loss of Takeoff. The untitled project will follow 2021’s Culture III, though it remains unclear whether it will feature posthumous Takeoff vocals. The laughs continue as listeners and the crew unload their biggest everyday pet peeves, from late arrivals and impossible packaging to missing food, mismatched container lids, and people who never return your dishes.
