The Haters

This week, Danielle and Stephen are back in the studio (their homes) with a legendary celebrity guest, Loretta Devine. But before Stephen makes Danielle Out Devine Loretta, they talk about Beyoncé being cheated at the Grammys and how the Grammys reward white tears over black excellence, Donald Trump thinks all black people know other black people--at least the CBC and we break down #HurtBae.

This week, Danielle and Stephen are left alone to stew in their hatred of one another, but then a miracle happens--Stephen and Danielle end up bonding over their hatred of Trump. Hate is a strong word, which is exactly why we used it. Stephen gushes over Danielle's trip to Hollywood and her seemingly unshakable nerves and Danielle praises Stephen for his appearance on Kirk & Callahan's radio show. Stephen held his own even with the shock jocks pushing him. Marvel in Danielle and Stephen's ability to appreciate each other this week because next week, they're back to hating each other.

Tony Rock joins Stephen and Danielle for an exciting episode all about race in comedy, Donald Trump jokes writing themselves, Tony Rock being an expert dater and more! Find out the fate of many of your favorite couples based on Rock's expertise.

Stephen and Danielle talk about the New Edition Story that gave BET some good attention...finally. They talk about the biopics that don't exist that they'd like to see: Aretha Franklin, Spice Girls, Jodeci and more. Stephen has a new segment: Your Week Has Been Trumped, which dives into the crazy/scary things Trump has done with America over the last 7 days. Yes, we're bringing this to you every week. And finally, we get Ginuwine on the show--a man who is Danielle's crush (then and now) and a man who Stephen and Danielle evidently know nothing about.

Stephen and Danielle try their best to remain in high spirits even though we're losing President Obama and gaining President...Trump. Ugh. And Chrisette Michele is performing at the Inauguration. Stephen confuses Jennifer Holiday and Jennifer Hudson. And then we have a guest on the show, Jay Ellis aka Lawrence from "Insecure." Find out if he's #TeamLawrence, how he felt about those very real sex scenes and the very different film he's starring in next.

Danielle and Stephen attempt to dissect just what it means when President Obama gives his farewell address, even though we all know what that means. And then they talk about Trump, his super fast cabinet filling and then there's a guest. Danielle allowed Stephen to book this guest because...happiness. We talk to the Internet's latest bae: #TrafficBae and find out everything we can about her--yes, we ask if she's single.

Stephen's back! But that's not the most important thing about this episode. Even though we talk about Kim Burrell's homophobic rant, "Dr." Umar Johnson's hotep rant and Serena Williams' not so black engagement, it's Idris Elba's kickboxing that steals the show.

On this minisode, Ms Patti Patti LaDanielle is flying solo. Stephen and Danielle argued before their interview with Da Brat and Danielle was forced to do the show alone. The good news is, she got Da Brat on her side and also got Da Brat to proclaim her new-found hatred of Stephen. Besides dishing on what's good with women's sexy images in hip hop, Da Brat shared her busy schedule, Jermaine Dupri pronounces things wrong and he doesn't care and she even made time to predict New Year's resolutions for Kanye, Trump and President Obama. Find out what she's aiming for in her own resolutions!

Stephen and Danielle are joined by former couple and recurring TV lovebirds, Omar Gooding and Angell Conwell. You may remember them most from the "unstable creatures" section of black cult classic, "Baby Boy." These two star in Bounce TV's "Family Time" as a married couple and the dynamic of their relationship is titillating. Yeah, we said titillating. Now come dig into this hilarious episode all about their new show, holiday traditions and more.

Stephen and Danielle are joined by Allen Maldonado, who you may know from Black-ish, Survivor's Remorse, Straight Outta Compton and so much more. Not only does this guy have moneyyyy, but he's got brains too! We play a riveting game of Black or Ish and he breaks his decisions all the way down! Danielle finds out that the Illuminati may actually be real, even though Allen doesn't want to be a part of it.

After lamenting over not getting any cupcakes from Trevor Noah, Danielle and Stephen break down all the horrible things happening in Trump's America already. Things like Trump taking a presidential call form Taiwan and shitting on protocol, Tomi Lahren getting all the black men in media to send her cupcakes and be BFFs to the ridiculous press conference following the tragic shooting death of #JoeMcKnight. It's a good thing gospel singer and Hidden Figures soundtrack songstress Kim Burrell came on the show for a spiritual cleansing and an impromptu sing-off against Ms. Patti Patti.

Danielle and Stephen get the chance to chat with the legendary Pam Grier! Among being one of the biggest badasses on television, Pam Grier has also teamed up with Bounce TV's Brown Sugar--a new streaming service exclusively for blaxploitation films and music. Pam gives us more details about the service, takes popular catch phrases and puts her 70's stank on it and explains how she got to be such a badass.

We can't even believe it! We landed the legendary Doug E. Fresh on the show! Stephen completely geeks out and tries to tell Doug E. everything he ever learned about hip hop, Danielle bonds with Doug E. over gold digging (or as he calls it "gold keeping") and having the same birthday. Doug E. reveals that he and Prince were very close buddies and he hangs out with Beyoncé. Stephen and Danielle think it's their best interview yet and gush over it when Doug E. leaves.

Ugh, Donald Trump is the president-elect. Stephen and Danielle hate everything, including this news, America and everyone who voted this racist, sexist nightmare into office. What is us gon' do!? Stephen and Danielle attempt to sort it all out, offer support to Hillary, praise Van Jones and dig through Trump's enemy list and reveal the countdown for the next president.

We have a very special guest visiting us on this episode and you may remember her from the first 8 episodes--Yesha Callahan, senior editor on The Root and former pod squad member is back for one night only! We talk about voting, weed and 40s, Donald Trump, Lil' Wayne's Black Lives Matter confession, Neiman Marcus' #GentrifiedGreens (a hashtag in which Yesha created) and more!
