On this episode, we’re joined by comedian Overton Spence — a man who swapped government paperwork for punchlines. After clocking out of bureaucratic life, Overton’s been clocking laughs around the globe — from the U.S. to Colombia to Africa — proving that storytelling and stand-up truly speak a universal language.
But this isn’t just jokes and jet lag — Tha Realist crew goes deep too. We’re unpacking Charlie Kirk’s death, Anthony’s journey of making peace with his father, and the art of praying and manifesting what’s divinely yours(without getting your signals crossed with the universe).
So, tap in for an episode that blends enlightenment, laughter, and brotherhood — where comedy meets clarity and every punchline packs a little purpose.
Fun Fact: Black men are among the most active mentors in their communities. According to research by the National Mentoring Partnership, Black men are twice as likely to mentor youth outside their families compared to other demographics — often volunteering through churches, schools, and local organizations to guide the next generation.
It’s a reminder that beyond the headlines, Black men have always been the backbone of community leadership — showing up, lifting others, and leading by example.
