Our resident historian Kimberly Renee joins Amanda for the “Bringing Up Old Ish” segment. Next, we dive into descendants of civil rights icons MLK, Rosa Parks, and Rodney King, are having a meeting at the White House. The episode then shifts to a unique “Moment in Black Hood History,” highlighting the cultural significance of Nike Air Force Ones.

A quick roundup of 60-second headlines covers topics from a Bob Marley biopic to a foreign aid bill and a strike by Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash workers on Valentine’s Day. Kimberly Renee returns for “Why You Bringing Up Old Ish,” posing intriguing questions descendants might ask in a gathering at the White House.

The show takes an interesting turn with a segment on the wealth disparity for Black people during the pandemic, presenting key statistics and challenges. The “Supreme Splaining” segment adds a humorous touch, and the Big Up/Let Down section highlights Jermaine Dupri’s socks and Justin Bieber’s curious excuse.

The phone lines open for listener engagement, and Amanda responds to a question in the “Am I Trippin'” segment, exploring the complexities of Valentine’s Day expectations. The episode wraps up with a Blop Quiz, Amanda’s final thoughts, the Word of the Day, and a humorous snippet of politicians saying the darnedest things.
