Marsha provides commentary on a video by award-winning content creator Garrison Hayes (@GarrisonHayesthat) that addresses advertising mediums that began to include African Americans at the tail end of the Civil Rights Movement. Marsha provides context for the (in)famous McDonald's "Calvin Got A Job" commercial by hypothesizing that the roots of American entertainment lie within the advent of Blackface and minstrelsy.

She also welcomes very special guest actor, comedian, and two-time NAACP Image Award winner Kym Whitley as they go down memory lane and discuss one of Kym's events when Marsha openly came out of the closet.

Her comedy sons Steven Roberts and Skills Hudson join her as they celebrate Steven's birthday, which occurred during the taping, and muse on Skillz's personal space, homophobic slurs, and Republicans (Black or otherwise). She also shares her thoughts and experiences on her visit to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

This episode is a blend of nostalgia, humor, and thought-provoking discussions that you won't want to miss! And please don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE! 🎀✨ πŸŒŸπŸŽ™οΈπŸ˜‚βœοΈ πŸŒ™πŸŽΌπŸ˜œ

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular β€˜ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
