A 3-year-old Black soccer phenom was kicked out of his youth soccer league after the league director called 911 on the child's mother for being "disruptive."

Then they react to Nicki Minaj being floated as a potential White House press secretary replacement, Trump's unhinged rally comments, and a deep dive into the WNBA Finals, where Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream are fighting to stay alive against the Golden State Valkyries.

In this episode of Here's the Thing, KevOnStage and That Chick Angel break down Angel Reese's dominant 30-point, 16-rebound performance in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals against the Golden State Valkyries, debating whether the Atlanta Dream can close it out in five and what a championship would mean for Reese's legacy after being traded from the Chicago Sky last offseason.

Franchesca Ramsey on 20 Years of Content Creation, Viral Fame, Bombing SNL Audition
Franchesca Ramsey sits down with KevOnStage and That Chick Angel to break down her 20-year career as one of the original internet content creators. From making hair tutorials on YouTube in 2009 to going viral with "Shit White Girls Say to Black Girls" in 2012, winning YouTube's NextUp competition for $35,000, and making $45,000 in a single month off one video, Franchesca shares the unfiltered truth about what happens after virality hits. She opens up about bombing her ’SNL’ audition, landing her first TV writing gig on ‘The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore,’ suffering from severe imposter syndrome in a writers' room alongside Cord Jefferson, and selling seven television shows to networks like Comedy Central, Netflix, and Nickelodeon -- none of which went to series. Franchesca also gets real about why she went back to a day job and why that's not giving up on your dream, her return to standup comedy after a 15-year hiatus, why virality is not a business model, and how turning 40 gave her the confidence to finally own who she is. Plus, she talks about her content creator masterclass, The Brand Is Strong, and why she stopped waiting for permission to make her own content. #KevOnStage #ContentCreation #YouTubeOG #ViralContent #TVWriting #Comedy #StandupComedy #CreatorEconomy Sign up right now with promo code KEVONSTAGE.

KevOnStage and That Chick Angel react to Chris Rock's string of controversial interviews -- from his "ghetto famous" comments to the story about refusing to pay for his friend's brother's legal defense after 19 years in prison.

Diarra Kilpatrick on Creating Diarra From Detroit & Her Wild Journey to Hollywood
Diarra Kilpatrick, creator, showrunner, and star of the Paramount+ series ‘Diarra From Detroit,’ sits down with KevOnStage and That Chick Angel for an unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to build a television show as a Black woman in Hollywood. Diarra shares her journey from growing up in Section 8 housing in Detroit to attending NYU Tisch during 9/11, to clawing her way through the entertainment industry with no safety net. With a brother who served as mayor of Detroit (Kwame Kilpatrick) and a father whose federal indictment dried up family resources, Diarra had to be relentless just to survive, let alone create her own show. She breaks down the stop-and-start process of getting ‘Diarra From Detroit’ made, the budget realities of independent television, casting legends like Morris Chestnut, Phylicia Rashad, Method Man, Bokeem Woodbine, and Glynn Turman when you cannot afford top-name talent, and the network battles over everything from casting to how she wears her own hair. The conversation also covers why she chose the detective genre to put Black women in spaces they rarely occupy, the mental health toll of being a creator who also has to market her own show, navigating social media negativity, her interracial marriage, and why supporting Black-created content matters now more than ever. With appearances by KevOnStage's disastrous audition tape, Angel getting cut from ‘Churchy’ twice, and a heated debate about skin tones, this episode is equal parts inspiration, industry insider knowledge, and pure comedy.
