When are you coming to Chicago, @karenhunter.bsky.social? I will have to roll through. My parents earned their undergraduate degrees from what was then Chicago Teachers’ Collage and my mother earned her master’s from Chicago State. This is outstanding! What an honor.
@claycane.bsky.social owns his masters. 😀 Like Ray, Stevie, Michael and Prince. Seriously, if you republish that first book, it will sell a lot of copies. It happens to every author who hits it big after having written multiple books. It happened to Thomas Harris.
@claycane.bsky.social, I think @allenorr.bsky.social needs to chill…and listen to some Sade. I suggest starting with “Is It A Crime?” then graduate on to “Why Can’t We Live Together” and “Love is Stronger Than Pride”.
@claycane.bsky.social,there is nothing wrong with @officialtedwinn.bsky.social having nine songs…since I have 25. Right, @reeciecolbert.bsky.social(“Why am I in it?”)?
@tevincampbelll.bsky.social and Tracie Spencer were young royalty in the 90s. Tevin worked with Prince, Quincy Jones and Babyface.

Oh snap! This call with Andre from
Harlem has gone completely left. Y’all hit him with the @reeciecolbert.bsky.social sound bite. @claycane.bsky.social and @officialtedwinn.bsky.social (Ted, you are the audience’s proxy), this portends for a wild show and we’re not even an hour in. #lawdhavemercy
@victorlagroon.bsky.social congrats on your nuptials. Let’s face it, no one is good enough for @ameshiacross.bsky.social. No matter who she was with, we would be giving dude the side eye like ‘Who is this buster with our beautiful Queen?’. IJS, @claycane.bsky.social.
While we’re here, @reeciecolbert.bsky.social, I never miss you and Erica, who I swear is the nicest person* and the most challenging Black Trivia opponent.
*We had a really good conversation a couple of years ago while some technical difficulties were resolved on the @claycane.bsky.social Show.
I’m late but I am so glad I started from the beginning of the show, @claycane.bsky.social and @reeciecolbert.bsky.social. This Jerome call is too…interesting to skip. I have been trolled once or twice, I guess. I ignore those folks and we all should do the same.
“Luke gave [Henry] his birthday, August 21”. That is a great birthday and also, as you know @claycane.bsky.social, is also historically significant as it was the date of Nat Turner’s rebellion.
Ouch, @claycane.bsky.social, we just caught strays (no pun intended 😄) about Jaden Ivey not mentioning gun violence in Chicago. Paraphrasing that great poet and philosopher, @reeciecolbert.bsky.social, ‘Why are we in it?”.
@claycane.bsky.social and @officialtedwinn.bsky.social, you brothers remember the group The Sylvers, right? Leon was a member of that group.

Correction: Who do you put Mariah with? Toni Braxton? Anita Baker? They’re songstresses (Anita even named an album “The Songstress”, right?)Y’all wrong doing this playlist with four artists, none of them Mariah, on her 57th or 56th birthday, @claycane.bsky.social and @officialtedwinn.bsky.social.
Y’all kicked the hornet’s nest now. Soooo…what you put Mariah with Toni Braxton? Anita Baker? You started it, @claycane.bsky.social and @officialtedwinn.bsky.social.
@claycane.bsky.social and @reeciecolbert.bsky.social, Tim Scott is just plain corny.
Well, Miss @reeciecolbert.bsky.social, I’m glad you could join us on the @claycane.bsky.social Show. I had Mariah songs but didn’t get through. #stoptrollingmariah.Chaka Khan has the street of the house she grew up in named after her right across from Kenwood Academy,the finest high school around.
Oh @iamsmiz.bsky.social, why did you have me laughing at possibly the corniest joke ever? 😄 ‘Herbivores’, my man? Get your boy, @karenhunter.bsky.social and @rodimusprime.bsky.social.
@karenhunter.bsky.social and @rodsfromgod.bsky.social, one of my melanemic neighbors (I used to live right a block away from a certain family who lived in the White House) in a diverse neighborhood in Chicago, called the police on me. My crime? I was sitting in my car for a long time. True story.
