Rickey goes head-to-head with listeners in a Battle of the Sexes that you do not want to miss — especially the prize bag. Then Brat brings you a surprise move from a famous family you wouldn't expect to be making headlines right now, and one of hip-hop's biggest moguls is making a very bold claim about his latest TV project. On the front page, a dangerous weather threat is spreading across the country, an international soccer star becomes the center of a racist controversy that's gone all the way to the top of the French government, and a quiet political move raises big questions about the upcoming elections.

It's the first Friday of the month, which means Confession Friday is in full effect — and this one delivered.

Gary With The Tea is pouring this hour, and the cup runneth over. One of the most celebrated athletes in the world just clapped back at the internet in the most perfectly unbothered way — and Rickey has feelings about it. Then there's a certain Grammy-winning superstar who may have a new man, and he is not who you'd expect. The conversation gets surprisingly personal when Rickey explains exactly why you'll never see him out in public with someone he's dating. The Color of the Day is revealed, Super Dave catches some stray heat, and the crew cannot keep it together. Tune in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rickey Smiley and the crew kick off the morning right with a powerful prayer from Stellar Award-winning gospel artist Keylante Gavin. Then it's straight to the front page — the mysterious death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells in Mississippi has civil rights attorney Ben Crump demanding answers, ICE shoots and kills a Mexican citizen in Houston sparking an international standoff, and 350,000 Haitians lose their work authorization overnight.
