What's Mine is Mine AND What's Yours is Mine $$
Where does the money reside when you divorce? It's not always as cut-and-dry as a 50/50 split anymore. This week's docket is here to prove it. First up, the sad case of Wendy Williams' guardian's fight to get her what she is owed, not only from her ex-husband Kevin Hunter but also from the show she hosted for the better part of 14 seasons! Next (23:00) Jenna Dewan is seeking her share of the Magic Mike money that was made during her time married to Channing Tatum; and lastly, a federal appeals court upholds their ruling in the (40:00) Zion Williamson agent case. It's a cautionary tale of an episode this week!

When the Sneaky Link Talks TOO Damn Much!
See, the problem is, folks talk too damn much. And today Eboni and Dustin got something to say about the folks who can't seem to keep private matters private, and the impact it can have when things go to court. First up (08:55) Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis's ex-lover former Fulton County special prosecutor sat down on national television to discuss his relationship with Willis - one that could get her kicked off of Trump's criminal trial in Georgia. Next (25:33) we'll be getting into the legal proceedings between Tyrese and his first wife and his social media spiral that didn't do what he thought it did. Lastly (40:36) we get into the very serious allegations being bandied between 50 Cent and his ex Daphne Joy, and the reasons you shouldn't accuse anyone unless you're ready to back it up.

Best All Around
Informative and Funny! It’s my favorite podcast to listen to. Dustin and Eboni keep me in the know!
Bus driver…
I love your out look.we are Sisters from an other Mother. This is the first time I have listen to your program, you are saying the truth of our people,I started my own business House Cleaning 32 years ago. You are right why make other people rich ie white folks, I work just as hard as the next person. I now own a brand new truck, and I was able to rebuild my mom’s house. I’m proud of what I do! Soon I will have my own bakery store.I say… Take the fools to church. Keep up the good job.
Co-host complaint
Love the concept of this show. Only complaint is the co-host. I like him but he’s an obvious yes man. He just agrees with whatever Eboni says and appears to have no opinions of his own which makes the dynamic boring.
