They Ready Season 2

They Ready Season 2

Tiffany Haddish returned to Netflix with They Ready Season 2. I am going to be honest here, I did not get through the first season of her special. Nevertheless, I am really excited that she has done this and is bringing other comics up to a wider audience. I did get through the entire seven episodes with the last one being an interview-style aftershow. Tiffany Haddish looked great in her Eddie Murphey Delirious-inspired outfit as she introduced the comics to the stage. 


Godfrey kicks season 2 off with an enjoyable set. It was not gut-busting funny but he was funny and had a few really good jokes. He relays his jokes as if we are having a conversation in his living room. I have enjoyed his skits on Instagram but had never seen his standup. I am glad I got to see his set. Godfrey’s jokes were timely and relevant as well as relatable. Definitely watch the Godfrey episode. I believe you will enjoy it more than once. In my opinion, his was the best set.


Erin Jackson is the second comic to perform, and I was like, “Okay, Tiffany, you coming through with the comics this season. Come through sis!” Erin’s set was funny. It took a couple of jokes for me to get the full appreciation. She was relatable and had a variety of jokes. Her delivery clean and enjoyable.


Tony Woods’ episode was a treat. How do we not know this guy? Apparently, he has had some influence on many of the amazing comedic starts we know now. I took a look on his Instagram page and saw many pictures of him with the big players like Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart just to name a couple of them. I really enjoyed his performance. He is an easy storyteller and I would put his show ahead of Godfrey’s for this season. I had several laugh-out-loud moments. 


Kimberly Clark and Barbara Carlyle were not funny this time around. I think I may have chuckled once between the two of them. Kimberly was more like a nice conversation but not at all funny. Kimberly’s blouse was fire though. She looked fabulous to give a bevy of subpar jokes. I liked her delivery but her material was off the mark. Barbara Carlyle’s performance was full of regurgitated jokes we have already heard but they were not funny either. I am looking at the audience like are they for real with their laughter? 


Dean Edwards is the last performance. His build-up was well done. I laughed throughout his set but was definitely impressed by his impressions towards the end of his set. Tiffany Haddish mentioned that he has performed on Saturday Night Live (SNL) but I do not remember catching him on the show. I did not watch it regularly enough. 


So unfortunately I would skip Kimberly Clark and Barbara Carlyle’s episode and watch from funny to funnies, saving the best for last.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

Ludacris is Dashing Through the Snow  You can listen to the podcast here. Dashing Through the Snow was released on Disney+ just in time for the holidays. It stars Ludarcis as the main character, Eddie, and Lil Rel Howery as Nick Sinter Clause. Teyonah Parris and Oscar Nuñez also lend supporting roles in this joyful take on a now-holiday classic theme of dealing with someone who has lost faith in Santa Claus.  Eddie Garrick lost his faith in Santa Claus as a young boy after his parent split up on Christmas day. Fast forward to his adulthood, he completely hates Christmas and his marriage is on the verge of ending. In comes this person that he thinks is pretending to be Santa to shake up his night and his life. Will Eddie believe again?  The movie starts off on the right track with a look back at what happened to a young Eddie that seemingly led to his parents' split. I enjoyed the opening scene but got a little skeptical when Ludacris came on. His acting though good is not solid eno
