Parental Guidance “Suggested” : The Recap | originally aired 5-23-12

Parental Guidance Suggested The Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

LISTEN NOW

No matter how many times we have heard the biblical quote “Honor thy mother and thy father…”, we want to really give them a piece of our minds at times.  As adults when does “Parental Guidance” become completely over bearing?  Well, glad you asked…as always last night we provided a candid and detailed look at the ways our parents can become a nightmare in our lives.  

Are you a victim of unsolicited advice from your mom or dad? Ever hear thing like; “That’s not the way I would do it!” How about making you feel guilty or using emotional blackmail to get you to do things?  This one even caused our Producer Chandra to share her beverage and her thoughts with us on just how much emotional blackmail her  grandmother dishes out.

We also touched on how as grandparents we tend to break all the parenting rules for our precious little angels. Let them have that candy or drink juice while eating dinner.   Why follow the rules, we’re sending them home anyway LOL!  Each one of us discussed how favoritism played a role in our families.  Everything from catching the beat downs to getting away with murder. Find out which one of us had to deal with being the oldest child and who besides KiKi was the spoiled youngest child.  KiKi asked each of us a pretty important and probing question and she also answered it thanks to Peeping Shaun.  To find out, you guessed it and once you listen to the archives you tell us which one sounds like your family.

Dr G. chimed in and gave us an earful on what works her last nerve about meddlesome parents. I even gave a bit of insight into how it is affecting the relationships with my own siblings. (Always a coaching moment on PDA). Are you the child who handles everything for your parents or are you the one who can’t deal with the pressures of an aging or dying parents? Tune into the archives to find out where you really stand and what you can do to get some relief and guidance on how to handle it. 

Do your parents meddle in your relationships/marriages? Our “Ask PDA” letter this week gives us the opportunity to really break down  how to regain control of your adult life and respectfully let your parents know they can back off!  One thing my dad used to say when I was in his business too much was ” You hold the tail and let me f*ck the cow!” In other words I GOT THIS!  Take a listen to the archives and come back with your comments, thoughts and/or questions about last nights topic.  Then join us next week as we once again PDA Style cover the next chapter of:     “Battle of the Sexes”

Dueces!

“Generation whY Are you F*ng It Up?” — Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday,  May 16, 2012

LISTEN NOW!!

I am going to keep it short and sweet this week because you are going to have to check out the archives to get the REAL Deal!

“What the hell is wrong with Generation Y?“ was the main question that prompted this show’s discussion.

I asked the question about whether this generation lacks creativity and originality because we Gen X’rs have allowed them to become lazy.  Sporty Spunky Angel took exception to my comment and didn’t hesitate to let me know about it!  As usual, Shaun sat and watched awhile before jumping in with his two cents about how he though it all began.  We talked about this generation’s lack of consciousness, lack of discipline and respect and the unhealthy sense of entitlement they walk around with!

Then our resident Legal Expert, Ikiesha Al-Shabazz stopped by to weigh in on the two members of Generation Y that she is currently raising and she had us all laughing!  To find out what she had to say about her son you have to listen to the archives! (hint: its about condoms & punishment)  We had a caller waited a patiently to comment and let loose with the way she views Generation Y.

It was then time for the “Ask PDA” letter… all I can say is you have to hear it for yourself and you STILL WON’T BELIEVE IT!!  Our panel and the listeners were speechless!  Check out the archives and give us your opinion on what you would tell this person to do!

Tune in next week for another Edutaining show and don’t forget to tell a friend!

TTFN!

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?? — PART 3 – The Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday, May 9, 2012

LISTEN NOW

Each week on Playing Devil’s Advocate™ we serve up an offering of varying opinions and discuss topics of a wide variety. This week’s show was the perfect platform to explore the mentalities of our cast. We all are directly faced with situations in life where we are forced to make decisions, that could very well affect our lives and the lives of other. When such circumstances occur there is only one question to be asked WHAT WOULD YOU DO??

What would you do, if you caught one of your parents cheating?

Where did Sporty learn of her father’s potential infidelity and how did she handle it?

What would you do, if your mate called out someone else’s name during sex?

How would KiKi respond to this? Would she take offense or take it as a challenge?

What would you do, if your mate asked you how many partners you’ve had?

Is this a fair question to ask? How good is my math?

To find out the answers to these and other questions like, “What would you do if you witnessed inappropriate behavior on the internet between an adult and a minor?” and “What would you do if you found out your friend is now in a relationship with someone you used to date?” listen to the show archive and hear for yourself. Feel free to answer these questions for us below in the comment box. We’d love to have your feedback!

As at the end of every show , it was time for the Ask PDA letter; this one seemed to be a question of honesty and respect one should have when in a committed relationship. It’s fine to be selfish about the things you want, but at some point selfishness can be damaging to your partner.

We also had a caller surprise us with a recant of a previous statement made on the show. Listen here to find out who it was and what was said.

We’ll be back again next week with a rather interesting show and discussion on the current state of our youth called:

Generation “WHY” are you F’N things up?

“Ex-timonials: Our Exs Speak Out” — The Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday,  April 18, 2012

LISTEN NOW!!

What happens when your Ex is asked questions about your past relationship ???

Well that’s exactly what tonight’s show was about.  Each of us were made to sit and listen as questions were asked of our Exs about the good, the bad, the beginning and end of  our relationship.  The idea was that one could perhaps learn something about oneself  that could help make our next relationship more successful.

First up was Sporty‘s  Ex code name: “Rover”  There was an interesting discovery which led to him being given that name.  Was any embarrassing information given about Sporty?  Was something disclosed that she was not expecting to hear?

Next on the hot seat was me, Shaun Amin‘s Ex: “Sunshine”   Being the newest member of  the PDA Cast , what was revealed about my personality?  Was I the cause of the breakup?  Oh… and how long was what? (to learn what that means you have to listen to the archives)

Finally we were introduced to KiKi‘s Ex aka: “Bubba”  Now we all know Ms. KiKi is the boss of PDA, but is she too bossy?  Does she have a signature bedroom style? What makes our resident provocateur so special?

Do you think our cast found value in hearing candid opinions from our Exs?  Check out the archives to judge for yourself.

Would any of you dare ask an Ex similar questions and just listen to what they have to say?  Please share your thoughts below.

It was then time for the “Ask PDA” letter and it a was situation no one wants to be in.  Our panel seemed to be in agreement that “Family comes first”, but how does one recover from this?   Is all fair in Love and War? Check out the archives and give us your opinion on what you would do in this situation.

Next week join us for the OPEN FORUM WEDNESDAY-LISTENERS CHOICE show!  Who knows where this show will take us as we engage our listeners and chat room participants while discussing any topic or subject matter and answering any questions they may have.  It’s YOUR CHOICE!!!  So if you have something on your mind or that’s been eating away at you,  let’s talk about it.

Thank you all for welcoming me to the show and I look forward to sharing every Wednesday with you!

Skin Deep: The Intra-Racial Divide–The Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

LISTEN NOW!!

Happy Thursday People!!!

Wow!!!  That’s all I can say–For some of us this week’s show was emotional, enlightening, funny and flat out Edutainment™!

Society talks about the racism that exists BETWEEN the races every day because it’s a part of the social commentary; however nobody is talking about the racism that exists WITHIN a particular race.

Listen to this week’s archives of Playing Devil’s Advocate™ as Ms. KiKi and the crew have the uncomfortable conversation about the racism people face among their own kind.

Have been a victim of discrimination within your own race? Were you appalled by Basketball Wives’, Tami Roman’s “black ass” comment to a dark skinned cast member?  or if you have said or heard someone say something like, “You’re so cute to be dark skinned...”–Listen to the archives NOW to hear the conversation!

We began the show by me announcing that I was in fact the “minority” on the panel and I shared a very personal experience that happened between my brother and myself that seemed to split the panel.  We went in depth about the insultiment, “You’re so cute to be dark skinned” and lets just say, the light skinned panelists were grasping for straws to justify that nonsense!

 Many people chimed in with their experiences and opinion on our social media sites & Mama Holiday share the benefit of her experiences with us on our Facebook page she even told her recipe for her designer baby…If you catch the archives you will find out which one of our panelist is the “Designer Baby“!  Rocky, Sporty Spunky Angel & our Producer Chandra all shared their experiences on when they realized color was a factor. (and lets just say, some of them were really surprising)

All in all, shows like these are the reason why I L-O-V-E what I do!  Because we are not afraid to have the uncomfortable conversation many were able to experience “light bulb moments” and learn how to be respectful and supportive rather than disrespectful & divisive.

We brought the show home with our “Ask PDA” letter and as usual it did not fail to bring out the opinions….This writer asked for 911 assistance so you must listen to the archives to hear it!  Don’t forget to share your  solution for the writer!!

NEXT WEEK’S TOPIC:    “Ask the Experts!!”

We will be joined by PDA’s resident Medical Expert, Dr. Naeemah Ghafur, PDA’s resident Legal Expert, Ikiesha Al-Shabazz, Esq. and our Resident Entertainment Expert!!

In the meantime send your QUESTIONS FOR OUR GUESTS, additional feedback, comments and suggestions on what topics you would like us to cover via email, Twitter , Facebook and/or submit your “Ask PDA” letters via email to us!

We have created a PDA Fan Line  where you can call and a ask question, leave a comment, suggestion or a simple shout out **862-438-KiKi** (leave your message before 6p EST on Wed).

MOOD KILLERS:  SEXUAL DONT’S — The Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

LISTEN NOW!!

Good afternoon PDA Family!

Last night’s show “MOOD KILLERS” was one of our best shows this year!  Our usual suspects were in the mood to give you the 411 on what they deemed “TURN OFFS” in the bedroom.  The show started off with bang with KiKi, Sporty, Sassy, Ikiesha, Rocky, special guest panelist Michael McFadden and my self honing right in on the “DONTS” and “WONTS” that make “WIMPS and “LIMPS”. From acting like a “FIRST TIMER” to a man’s timer “GOING OFF” to soon, nothing was left unspoken.

The educational part of the edutaiment driven show was the communication between the women and men discussing our “SEXUAL PET PEEVES”.  In normal cases, we would debate any point made but its hard to argue about what WONT get you laid.  While the chat room was buzzing, we had a male caller, “Ralph” chime in about his preference and turn off for the way a certain delicacy is prepared and served.  In turn, Chef KiKi gave us a recipe from her sexual smorgasbord in KiKi’S Kinky Kitchen that will surely ASSTOUND some, and delight others.  Now you know you have to listen to the archives for the ingredients and preparation for her devilish dish, but I will share what Sporty and her nasty mind came up with to enhance your sex lives with the video link provided below.

Sporty’s Sexy Tip!

LISTEN NOW!!

Good afternoon PDA Family!

I hope all of you feel better after your relationship check-up last night.  Many of us need regular check-ups, but for some strange reason, refuse to go see the LOVE DOCTOR. I must say last night my eyes were opened to symptoms I never recognized before. I learned that men and women have different ways of demonstrating relationship ills and that KiKi will break down the influenza of love in a heart beat then prescribe you the best medicine ever!  Take two minutes to think, and call her in the morning is the best treatment.  Sporty Angel will give you a WHODO spell to cure it then say, “Who do you think you are with that bull crap?” and all relationship woes go down the drain.  Rocky Miller is a little more cynical in his approach to love ailments and sometimes suggest it may be all in a person’s mind. Ikiesha gave her take on open-relationship love remedies that work if applied as directed.

Comedian Rodney Perry even dropped by to share his I wish that I could tell you everything that happened, but KiKi is the only licensed love practitioner who s allowed to write prescriptions (check out her book); but you have to make an appointment (buy her book) to get the best treatment.  While in the chat room, I noticed a few people in there misdiagnosing and treating themselves which explains why they continue to stay sick.

I suggest that you all check the archives, take notes and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!  As I listen back at the show from last night, I’m starting to feel better already.  Hindsight is 20/20 and the useful info was plenty/plenty. Until next week!!

Get Out of The Way: PDA Deadly Sins–The Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

LISTEN NOW!!

Happy Thursday Sinners!!!

I know I always say the show was great, or it was a heater, but I can not tell a lie….it’s true!  I was joined by my usual motley crew, Todd “The Toddler” Fountaine, Sassy Angel & Sporty Spunky Angel while our Producer, Chandra was drinking on the job again!!!

This week’s show focused on PDA’s Deadly Sins, which are basically all the things that we do that impede our ability to live life fully.  I never tell you what you’re doing incorrectly without giving you something to correct the behavior.  Our chat room was buzzing with our usual suspects along with some rookies (one was listening from London at 3am local time!!) and our Facebook and Twitter was quite busy as well.

So I don’t keep you in too much suspense, here is the list of sins and their corresponding virtues….If you haven’t heard the show already, make sure you  listen to the archives and follow along with the list:

SIN	VIRTUE
Hubris	Humility, humbleness
Fear	Courage fearlessness
Envy	Admiration
Lazy	Diligence
Insecure	Confidence
Ignorant	Knowledgeable, Competence. Learned
Dishonest	Ethical
Unaccountable	Accept responsibility Stop blaming
Selfish	Generous, charitable
Stubborn	Flexible, agreeable, Open to change

Shows like these that are the reason why I L-O-V-E what I do!  Despite  Todd’s attempts to “wiggle” out of a direct question; lots of people were able to experience “light bulb moments” and learn different ways to have better relationships and lead more prosperous lives…

We brought the show home with our “Ask PDA” letter and as usual it did not fail to set things off….this time it was uncontrollable laughter!!  Sporty Angel and I just couldn’t help ourselves!  This was a letter like none other we have received before so you just have to listen to the archives to hear it!  Don’t forget to share your  solution for the writer!!

NEXT WEEK’S TOPIC:    “The Real Athletes of PDA: Life After...”

We will be joined by Former All-American, Mark Tillmon (Georgetown Hoyas), Former Oakland Raider, Anthony Dorsett, Jr. (NFL) and 17 year NBA veteran, Rod Strickland!! They will talk about the perception of athletes, the pros and cons of NCAA vs Professional athletics and transitioning to LIFE AFTER professional sports!!

Ask PDA Letter: The Breakdown | The Recap (originally aired 2-8-12)

Playing Devil's Advocate Cast

“Ask PDA” Letter:  The Breakdown — The Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

LISTEN NOW!!

Happy Thursday PDA Family!

Boy oh boy did we have an “emotional” show last night!!  

Last week’s controversial “Ask PDA” letter from a listener caused so much of a ruckus that we had to expand it into an entire show!  Little did we know this letter would teach us so much about one another, pit men against the women or how it would really put people’s beliefs under the microscope and force them to think outside of themselves in order to help the writer with her dilemma.

The dilemma presented to us was based in part on what the writer read in my book, “The Other Woman Code of Conduct” and the conversation we had on our “Love: Is it Business or Is it Personal” show that aired a few weeks back.  Seeing as though I believe Rocky & Todd did not hold true to the position they took on that show when responding to this “Ask PDA” letter, I had to call them to the carpet!

Since the writer’s dilemma was based on “taking the business approach to relationships” theory we posed on our previous show, I just knew our cast understood the importance of us responding to her issue in way that was consistent with that theory…. and I couldn’t have been more off base!!  There is no way I could have predicted what happened!! Let’s just say this…”conventional wisdom” would say that women are emotional and reactionary while men are pragmatic and problem solvers….well conventional wisdom was less wise and more dumb!  Nonetheless, you will have to listen to the archives to see how the emotional switch got flipped!!

We gave the listening audience a “fly on the wall” experience by allowing them to hear the debate that ensued in our production meeting while responding to our interactive chat room’s comments in real-time.  The conversation got so heated in the chat room, that our producer Chandra had to break up a verbal scurfuffle between two GUYS before it could go too far!  (yes I meant to type “scurfuffle”)

I knew the tides had shifted and there was a full moon when Sassy got even Sassier!! She said something like…”Uh…I’m not finished DAMMIT!” when Rocky tried to interrupt her!  Poor SportySpunky Angel was just exasperated and somewhat irritated at the blame game the men were playing, while Todd stuck to his guns about selfishness, even though he was shooting emotional blanks!  My manager, Tony chimed in a few times and out of sheer frustration with the other guys he muted himself to keep from blowing a gasket! (Yes Tony, I threw you under the bus again! LOL )  Meanwhile, I emailed audience questions to the writer in order to get some clarity and to stop all the ASSuming that was going on.

Even after the writer answered questions about birth control, child support, abortion, motives, etc. Rocky STILL refused to acquiesce that he was not being fair and his responses were emotionally charged.

All I can do is to implore you to check out the archives, hear what was said, how it ended and share your thoughts with us!!

In the meantime, here is the letter that started it all….tell us what you think of her plan!  Do you think it’s a good one? Did she leave anything out? Should she add anything?

Dear PDA:

I love your show & I know you havent had a letter for a while but I need your input!

I’m a single woman having an affair w/ a married man. I like him, however I don’t love him & wouldn’t want be in a relationship with him. My dilemma is this:

I’m pregnant! I am in my early 40s & have no children so at this point in my life I am NOT interested in getting rid of the baby. I am also not interested in breaking up his family & I have told him so.

After reading your book & listening to the show you had on treating relationships like business I came up w/this plan:

Since he’s a financially stable (RICH) man who would be able to provide for the child I will tell everyone I was inseminated from a donor & he and I can come to an agreement on child support between the 2 of us. To keep him from having to explain the expenditure I will tell him to add me to his payroll as a consultant or something so nobody suspects.

What do you think?? What should I do? I want to get the opinions of your listeners on this one too!

Signed
It’s business not personal 

Now can you believe this little note set the chat room ablaze and sent people off the reservation with their commentary?    Most importantly, at the end of the day…we agreed to disagree & finally offered up some solutions (after I forced it out of them)!  What solutions do you have for our writer? What are your thoughts?

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE??:  Why?? — The Recap

Originally aired:

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

LISTEN NOW!!

Good afternoon PDA Family!

We had an exciting show last night, “BELIEVE ME“!  We explored the aspect of beliefs and WHY people have them. Of course our usual cast of misfits were in the building.  KiKi, Sporty, Rocky, myself made up the panel and I BELIEVE Sassy was lurking around somewhere.

We discovered that a lot of people are conditioned culturally to accept things as fact that have no demonstrable proof.  We covered religious, relationships, monogamy, gender assigned belief systems and the reasons behind them.  One of the highlights for me was when Sporty and I were asked a question and COGNITIVE DISSONANCE seemed to block a logical response.  I can’t tell you in full detail, you will have to check the archives for that info.  We had a caller who had an interesting take on beliefs concerning religion and attempted to match wits with KiKi.  Let me tell you, THAT was something you had to hear to BELIEVE.

To round out the show, we had a controversial “Ask PDA” letter from a listener of the show.  This letter was filled with twists and turns that would challenge a persons morals, beliefs, and ultimately force a person to face reality.  It got to the point that 120 min wasn’t enough time to cover the subject and is forcing us to do a Part II of the show.

I will say this in closing, there are things that I KNOW and things I BELIEVE. I believed last night show would be a smash, and now I know it was.  Listen to the archives and hear it for yourself!
