Morning Joe Out of Touch with YouTube's Nielsen TV Rankings

Did people prejudge Marvin Sapp's comments? The video that went viral was not a recent moment as many people thought. 

So how did close or shut the doors become... he said LOCK the doors? Marvin Sapp pretty much explains everything including the death threats he has received. WE ARE definitely in an era in media where no one does any fact checking.

Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson react to Marvin Sapp asking his church congregation for each to give $1000 each and having his ushers lock the door so people cannot get out. Later, Unc & Ocho question why they cannot give what they can; why does it have to have a set number? Unc feels that Marvin Sapp was doing too much in his asking.

As you can hear, neither one can sing or hold a note; but Jess Hilarious and Loren LoRosa settle their beef in a healthy way. However we wonder was there really ever any tension between the two members of The Breakfast Club.

Jess Hilarious says she bought six $80K Birkin Bags before The Breakfast Club and hasn't spent any money she has earned from the show.  “I have six Birkins already and that was before Breakfast Club. They them bags I plan to sell just in case.”

The number one topic on the show was LeBron's confrontation a couple of weeks ago with Stephen A. Smith courtside over comments about Bronny James. Here's a couple of Shorts followed by the FULL INTERVIEW

Stephen A. Smith spends today’s episode discussing LeBron James’ appearance on the Pat McAfee show and further discussing his confrontation, Bronny James and more... even the fact that his ESPN colleague scored the interview.

New Daily Pop Culture Podcast “The Latest with Loren LoRosa” To Launch on iHeartMedia and Charlamagne Tha God’s Black Effect Podcast Network. Rising media star Loren LoRosa, known as BROWN GIRL GRINDING on Social Media, is bringing her signature wit and insider perspective to “The Latest with Loren LoRosa,” a brand-new daily podcast covering the biggest trending topics in entertainment, social media and celebrity news. Launching March 31, the show promises to keep listeners up to speed on everything buzzing in the world of pop culture. “Pop culture moves fast and I want to give listeners a smart, fun, straight-forward and most importantly an informed take on what's happening every single day,” said LoRosa.

“We are beyond thrilled to have Alfredas on board at ‘The Rickey Smiley Morning Show,’” said Colby Tyner, Senior VP of Programming for Urban One’s Radio One and Reach Media. “Her passion, humor, and deep connection with audiences make her the perfect fit for our team. I know our listeners will love what she brings to the table.”

“I’m beyond excited to join ‘The Rickey Smiley Morning Show,’” said Alfredas. “This show is all about connecting with our community, and I can’t wait to dive into the stories that resonate with us all. Rickey’s unique blend of humor and heart makes every conversation feel like a family chat. I’m ready to bring my passion for storytelling to the mix.” 

The situation between Jess Hilarious and Loren Lorosa has been bubbling behind the scenes for quite awhile. There has been a lot of chatter on the internet surrounding a clip of comedian Corey Holcomb who said  that Loren happens to be more talented and better on the job than Jess. We happen to agree. How many countless times has Jess gone on the air and said that she can't pronounce someone's name during one of her segments. It's called show prep. It's embarrassing. Her job is to know how to pronounce names. ...unless she's more comfortable playing the stereotypical "let's keep it real" hood chick. Radio listeners deserve better.

From IG: Baltimore Media Personality April Watts -"I think this is produced reality for entertainment purposes to keep buzz around the show. Having been in radio for over 2 decades, corporate would NEVER allow this to take place if it wasn’t controlled."

From IG: Philly media personality MrHollywoodDJ -"Jess just got there. She act like she running the show… she gonna get a wake up call when she realize producers last wayyyyyy longer than talent… not that she’s all that talented."

Does she not see that radio talent is being cut all over the place? Or does she not care. She needs to step it up.

R&B singer Bobby V, also known as Bobby Valentino, will be hear early evenings from 7-9pm on Kiss 104.1 Atlanta. The Keith Sweat Hotel is moving out of that slot and will now be heard from 9pm to 2am. Bobby V is known for his how song 'Slow Down' and was featured on Lil Wayne's 'Mrs. Officer'.
