Episode Details

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show brings the heat for a full hour — starting with an opening prayer, breaking news on Trump's strikes on Iran, and Donovan Mitchell's mind-blowing $273 million Cleveland deal (is LeBron next?). Brat Tat Tat reports on Bone Thugs-N-Harmony finally getting their Hollywood Walk of Fame star, while Tristan Thompson can't stop talking about Klay Thompson and Megan Thee Stallion. Gary With the T drops tea on Jay-Z's sold-out Yankee Stadium concerts possibly looking half empty thanks to bots and resellers — and somehow blames Beyoncé washing his hair for it. Jeff Johnson breaks down Trump blocking Harriet Tubman from the $20 bill while pushing his own face onto a $250 bill.

Then things get serious: veteran radio host Big Tigger reportedly stepped away from his show after an aggravated battery arrest, and his wife is facing a kidnapping warrant for a child the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children still lists as missing. Licensed therapist Spirit joins Rickey live to unpack toxic relationships, drop jaw-dropping domestic violence stats, and get emotional on air — leading to Rickey gifting her a spa day on the spot.

Plus, Charles Barkley turned down Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding invite, Ginuwine got engaged at 55, and the crew debates whether Chris Brown kissing fans on stage during the Usher tour is romantic or just unsanitary. Black Tony also calls in with the most elaborate excuse for not coming to work you've ever heard. All four hours, one feed — don't miss a second.
