History, beauty, Hollywood, and bizarre celebrity collectibles collide in an episode packed with sharp opinions and big laughs. D.L. Hughley and the crew celebrate Dr. Opal Lee’s 100th birthday as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” helps launch construction of Fort Worth’s 50,000-square-foot National Juneteenth Museum, projected to open in 2029; her decades of advocacy helped make Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021. The Question of the Day asks why heavy makeup remains popular when many men say they prefer a lighter look, prompting callers to debate confidence, acne coverage, social-media filters, reality-TV beauty standards, creativity, competition, and self-expression. Research reflects that complexity: women report using cosmetics for impression management, enhancement and confidence, fun and well-being, creativity, and identity—not simply to attract a partner. Actress Wendy Raquel Robinson joins the crew for a hilarious, revealing conversation about being expelled from Hollywood High, the legendary Los Angeles school coffee cake, her Howard University experience, and the life-changing value of HBCUs. Beyond her celebrated roles as Regina Grier on The Steve Harvey Show and Tasha Mack on The Game, Robinson co-founded Amazing Grace Conservatory, which provides performing and digital arts training to underserved young people and has grown from 75 students to serving more than 500 annually. Queen Indy B, who is in for Jasmine Sanders, closes with five unbelievable items purchased on eBay, including Justin Bieber’s hair clippings, Justin Timberlake’s half-eaten French toast, Pharrell’s famous Grammy hat, William Shatner’s kidney stone, and an alleged Britney Spears pregnancy test—proof that celebrity fame can turn almost anything into a collectible; Bieber’s hair brought $40,668 for charity, Timberlake’s leftovers sold for $1,025, and Shatner’s kidney stone raised $25,000.
