Two men, one table, and a week that would not sit down. Tommy B and Hit Man Howie run the full board on Ep 334 - no guest, no net. First, love and prayers to our own Tonya B, who is home with family after losing her mother. She will be back with us soon. Act 1 stays light on politics and heavy on the question underneath it: when Stephen A. Smith takes a seat at the President's table, is he opening doors or lending cover? Howie checks the receipts on the HBCU money - the FUTURE Act was already signed. Then Jay-Z reportedly picks Jay-Z for the Super Bowl halftime show: genius legacy move, or the ultimate conflict of interest? The Tea: Tank is acting now - a series regular on Hulu's Reasonable Doubt - and Tommy B is impressed. Is he a real actor, or playing himself? Tell us what you think at castropolis.net. And a posthumous D'Angelo album is in the works from the vault: should the unfinished music of the departed be finished, and who decides? Sports closes the show, the way it should: the Falcons' quarterback room (is Penix the long-term guy?), Bloodbath Saturday in college football, LeBron James is a 76er - read that again - the Jalen Hurts blood-clot story the NFL has to answer for, and the Dream: 17,000 strong at State Farm Arena, up 2-1 in the Finals, with Game 4 Saturday at 1 PM. Angel Reese is the first player in WNBA history with a double-double in each of her first three Finals games. Tommy's word of the day: vote early, then check your vote. Georgia's early vote has already topped one million. In the close: we stand with the family of one-year-old Cohen Wiley of Senatobia, Mississippi. Where did we get it wrong? Tell us in the comments - and hear the episode again Sunday at 6 PM ET on Velvet Frequency Radio.

Farewell Freddie: A Quiet Storm Tribute | This Is The G Podcast Ep 331 Tommy B, Vi, and Hit Man Howie are back for Episode 331 —and this one's personal. We open with a farewell to Freddie Jackson, the voice of quiet storm. "You Are My Lady," "Rock Me Tonight," "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" — his baritone was the soundtrack to our love stories.

In politics: Keisha Lance Bottoms and Rick Jackson faced off in their only debate — and Jackson's not doing another one. We break down the "gas store" moment, the $68 million spending gap, and why a billionaire who's never pumped his own gas might be out of touch. Plus: midterms 24 days out, Cook shifts 18 House races toward Democrats, Texas might actually flip, and early voting opens Tuesday in Georgia. In music: Bruno Mars is one week from breaking theall-time R&B chart record. Victoria Monét brings the Frequency of Love tour to Atlanta. Usher & Chris Brown hit Atlanta November 5–11. John Legend announces a Pharrell-produced album. And we have words for artists who show up two hours late to their own concerts. In sports: Falcons drop 45 on the Saints Monday night — Bijan ties Dickerson and Emmitt Smith. Sunday night: Falcons vs. Ravens, and Lamar Jackson is OUT. Plus: the Atlanta Dream swept their way to the WNBA Finals — first time since 2013. Plus a birthday shout-out to our newsman Syracuse Mike!

The show’s struggle to balance its Black-centered identity with a broader mainstream audience. Why Heather is receiving too much screen time. How Leslie’s early villain storyline lost momentum. The lack of bold, viral, heightened soap moments. Why the Duprees need more power, edge, and stronger consequences. The drawn-out “Kill Bill” storyline and its pacing problems. Vanessa’s consistently strong storytelling compared with Danny and Nicole. Respectability politics and possible network influence on the show. The lack of strong Black power couples. Why Vernon and Anita should play a more active role in protecting their family. How the Impaler storyline could have created greater stakes.
