You didn't answer my question yet. You didn't get your question out. I've been asked the same question. You said, are you down? And I said, I'm down with all of you. He did answer that.

Chapter 7: What are the key contributions of Kiki Shepard to black culture?
He just said that. Same shit. It's not. All right, fam, you know. He won that game. I just spoke to her. I did not just speak to her. How you know everybody? All right. I'm just going to, let me first start by reading something from Roland Martin. I'm sad to see Kiki Shepard pass away. She was 74. I just saw her February 12th at the NBA All-Star Game Gospel Celebration.
She asked me to play her in her annual golf tournament. I said yes, and we traded numbers. Rest in peace. So that was where I was getting it from. I just didn't want to shout out another platform. Oh, so you're leaning on Roland Martin connects. Yeah, yeah, that's what reporting is. You have sources. Thank God for Roland Martin. Thank God for Roland Martin.
But, yeah, we lost a legend, Kiki Shepard, yesterday. She died of a massive heart attack. Seemed to be sudden by all indications. Any black person in America knows who Kiki Shepherd is because they know Showtime at the Apollo, which is a staple of black culture. It's a staple of our tradition of music and performance. And while the show has had lots of hosts, there's really only been one co-host.
And that co-host is Kiki Shepherd. And I'm using the word co-host because a lot of times we think of her just as the person on stage, just the person telling people, you know, to rub, you know, for good luck. But she was more than that. She would help produce the show. She helped break acts and talent.
There are so many acts of all races, but especially black and brown artists who broke because of the Apollo. And she was a big part of that. She was incredibly gifted and talented herself. She's a Howard University grad, a business administration degree. She helped start the D.C. Repertory Dance Theater. She acted.
She's in stage plays like Mama, I Wanna Sing, which most of us know from our generation. She was even in The Wiz. She had a role. I mean, she was an incredible dancer, actor, singer. She just did everything, as a lot of people from that generation did, even when they didn't get credit for it. But she was also like...
Our imaginary idol, our imaginary girlfriend, imaginary wife, imaginary mom, and at some point imaginary auntie. You know, history will remember Vanna White, but she was our Vanna White, except she was bigger and more important to us at a time where there weren't more of us. You know, she was on TV when nobody was on TV. She was a model when there were no other models.
And I just, you know, I'm glad that... Her name will be remembered, but it's going to be remembered not just for what she did on that stage, but what she did across every aspect of her life. She was a philanthropist. She was a giver. In fact, I don't know if you know, she was having a golf tournament just next month scheduled, which was going to raise money for charity.
Hopefully they still have it. Yeah, hopefully they still have it. So, you know, rest in peace to our now ancestor, Kiki Shepard. It was a life well lived, and we honor and love her. We love you, Kiki. Rest in peace. Thank you. Thank you. I ain't gonna front. Mark made me do know a couple people that know where he killed that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chapter 8: How does personal happiness impact our responsibilities?
Did you watch it? I've seen it. Okay. You don't want to keep hating. I mean... I thought this one was pretty good. This one was pretty good. Now that they got back to some of the characters that we give a fuck about and some of the storylines that we were waiting on continuance from. I have a quick question. Do y'all still just call him Randall? Yeah, or Sterling. What is his name in this shit?
Xavier. Oh, I don't call him that. I don't call him Xavier at all. It's Randall or Sterling. I'm going to tell you. I have nothing to say because you guys killed me for giving you paradise reviews, especially when I said that the wife... Shouldn't have slid with homeboy and the kid looking for safety when the world was coming to an end. For me, it was satire. Kinda.
But you guys made valid points. I will keep my paradise reviews to myself until the end of the show. I thought this was excellent. No need to make mention of how dude tried to kill homeboy. Who couldn't have? Hey. Almost got away with it, too. Who couldn't? Hey. Oh, my God. You saw that?
I mean, I'm not going to say that I saw that, but when you and your wife are separated, the guy that she normally, the guy that slides in right after you, he normally doesn't have your best interest at heart. I think the circumstances. The first thing he said when you seen the dude was, I love your wife. Yeah. She's my best friend. Yeah. They've taken her from me. They ain't taken her from him.
And they didn't take her. Yeah, but Ed is like, and now you show up as the husband, the husband that could fight, the husband that's trained, a trained agent. Who couldn't have seen that this dude would try to kill him? That's all I got to say about it. You put a little too much faith in bro. Yeah, come on. Because he's fat. Nah, I think he honestly been shitting on homeboy the whole time.
Treating that nigga like a da-dun-da-dun. Yo, you going to just sit here and do nothing. Shut up. He gave him the trigger for the bomb. He wouldn't let him touch a baby, my nigga. Like, eh. Move, nigga. Sit over there. Yeah, yeah. Sit your dumb ass down. Like, that's how he been treating homeboy. What episode you up to now? It's six. It's two left. I'll tell you this.
And they've been already renewed for the third season, which many think will be their final. Well, it is their final. They said it. But I was going to say, you could kind of tell. It ain't being received the way they might have thought. The fact that they even had Sterling K. Brown up there with the signs announcing season three. We in the middle of season two.
He's holding the signs in front of the camera like Homeboy was in front of the bunker. See, I think they rolled it out so slow and there's so much ground to cover that it really needs 10 episodes. Yeah, I would agree. You know what I'm saying? I think in these ten episodes instead of eight, then they could have really got their shit off on the last two. I think...
Yeah, it's just moving super slow. The way they keep tying it back into Paradise to here, it's just a lot of ground to cover, and they need more episodes for me. It's fine. I'm already on down to fuck St. Louis. Thank you. Let's get to the goal. Let's get to the great team. Let's get to the great team. Are you caught up? Y'all want to move slow with fucking season two of Paradise? I'm on DTF St.
