In this powerful episode, Anthony opens up about one of the most defining chapters of his life — reconciling with his father. What begins as a personal story quickly unfolds into a deeper conversation about healing, identity, and the legacy of our parents’ mistakes — and how facing them can shape the kind of man, partner, and father we strive to become.
But that’s just the beginning. The conversation takes a sharp turn when Timber and Overton step in, sparking a heated debate about the modern relationship dynamic — in today’s dating landscape, should a woman be the co-pilot beside her man, or the passenger on his flight?
Expect honesty. Expect tension. Expect reflection.

💡 Fun Fact: Black couples are neck and neck with other races when it comes to supporting each other’s goals. Studies show that Black partners are among the most likely to encourage each other’s career growth, side hustles, and creative passions — making “building together” not just a phrase, but a cultural cornerstone of Black love. Be careful with what your algorithm is feeding you.

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.

“I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions.”
— Zora Neale Hurston
Fun Fact: In 1968, Diahann Carroll became the first Black woman to star in her own television series in a non-stereotypical role with the show Julia.
She played a professional nurse and single mother—breaking away from the typical maid or servant roles Black women had been confined to in media. Her performance opened doors for future generations of Black actresses to take on dynamic, leading roles.
It was more than just a role—it was a cultural shift.

Fun Fact:
Black men have been at the forefront of innovation in countless fields—often unsung. For example, Garrett Morgan, a Black inventor, not only created the three-position traffic light but also developed a prototype of the gas mask used in WWI. His work literally saved lives and shaped modern safety infrastructure.
