Our First Malcolm

On this episode of the Tina & Sheletta Podcast, the hosts tribute Malcolm-Jamal Warner and the lasting impact of The Cosby Show. Tina shares how he was her “first Malcolm,”. Sheletta discusses how the absence of the show has cost us progress.

Sheletta should be ashamed...

When Sheletta tells her friend Tina about how she gave the new Black teacher the third degree, Tina told her bestie she should be ashamed of herself for the double standard!

RIP: Essence Fest is dead!

Tina and Sheletta deliver the eulogy for Essence Festival and declare the one popular party with a purpose dead on arrival in 2025 on the latest episode of their podcast. 

We mourn with those who mourn...

Tina & Sheletta are grateful to their listeners as they took a week off to mourn with the family of Melissa and Mark Hortman, the Minnesota legislator and her husband who were assassinated. Sheletta and Melissa were friends, so the loss was not just personal but profound. 

It's a bust!

Tina & Sheletta are beside themselves that Donald Trump removed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s bust from the Oval Office. Even more alarming, nobody knows where it is. Sheletta thinks he threw it in the trash. Tina tends to agree. 

Should Sheletta get a nanny?

Sheletta is frustrated about the back-and-forth she's gonna have to experience to get her three kids to camps this summer. Her friend Tina says she's gotta let go of the "Super Mom" persona and hire a part time nanny to help out around the house.

Don't hire anybody named Capricorn!

Tina and Sheletta are following the Diddy trial and says he'll get convicted, not necessarily because the evidence him is so powerful, but because he hired someone whose name is a zodiac sign. 

Being nasty ain't enough!

Tina has been closely monitoring the Diddy trial and feels like prosecutors haven't produced enough evidence to warrant the charges against him. In the words of Sheletta, all they've proven is that Puff Daddy is nasty and being nasty ain't enough to send the disgraced rapper to federal prison.

The Mother's Day Let Down is Real

Sheletta tells Tina she needs another day between Mother's Day and Monday morning because transition from Queen of the Day to scullery maid is too quick.

Why don't we have allergies? Lead and asbestos!

Tina and Sheletta are sick and tired of their kids being allergic to everything from dogs to dairy. The besties don't have one thing between them that they're allergic to. Why don't these two 70s born Houston babies have anything that gives them the hives? They survived high schools filled with lead and asbestos!
