  • Celebrating Black Innovators and Dreamers
    2026/02/06

    Let it be known, that it’s Black History Month…and Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete have a double dose of flowers to give!

    It’s been a minute since ReRe and Pete have given flowers to a person/place/thing/idea. On this episode, they share two recipients each. ReRe handles the ladies (Mabel King and Oprah Winfrey) and Pete holds it down for the fellas (Roland Martin and D-Nice). Per usual, they go through their segments (A Rose Is A Rose and Cactus), Pete shares an exciting story of him meeting Ari Lennox and D-Nice, and ReRe always blesses the FFTC Gang with new music and intellectual introvert thoughts. Also, Alyce Rose makes a quick appearance on the show!

    Enjoy the show and be on the lookout for the 6 year anniversary of the show. February 25th! Something special will happen!

  • What's Fresh In The Culture: Can't We All Just Get Along??
    2026/01/15

    OHHHH…Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete got fancy on the culture…and did a episode…a week after the last one dropped?? Is the culture ok?? Is something wrong?? Of course not! Everything is cool, but in the past week, the culture has been POPPIN’ BABY!

    ReRe found it appropriate to shine some Black Joy light on a few things that happened! They took time to acknowledge Lynn Jones-Turpin, a news reporter and the Associate Editor for the Jacksonville Free Press from Jacksonville, Florida that went viral for her comforting words during a press release to Liam Coem, the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach. OHHHH…some of the culture was BIG MAD about that…*clocks*!

    Next up, they give praises to Teyana Taylor’s Golden Globes win, the snubs Sinners movie is and will be receiving. They elaborated on how to conquer these activities and possibly shaping the way the culture view these incidents.

    Lastly, ReRe and Pete visit Druski’s mega church skit. It was…interesting *laughs*. Did he get it right? Was he out of order for this? Share those thoughts.

    Enjoy the show and look out for another show after this. They’ll have an update on the culture…pretty sure of it!

  • Conversations Between Introverts: Don't You Want To Go Home??
    2026/01/08

    Happy 2026, FFTC Gang! We hope you’re refreshed from all the downtime with your family, friends, etc.! Now it’s time to get BYKE in motion with Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete!

    This episode is focused on ReRe and Pete’s introvert ways *laughs*. They went through their staple segments (A Rose Is A Rose, The Cactus, the Tyler Perry sightings), while chatting about various things happening in the culture. To add on, it isn’t JUST chatting. It’s conversations. With that…2 introverts talking about what they would and wouldn’t do in said situation adds to the Black Joy the show brings.

    Said situations = Sinners being snubbed, attending the Jacksonville Jaguars game, wanting to be home vs. out *laughs*, and more.

    In conclusion, enjoy the show and share with your podcast lovers. Thank you in advance!
