Description: Denzel Washington's controversial appearance on ESPN's First Take, where he spent five minutes criticizing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for the team's 30-year Super Bowl drought, arguing that Jones prioritizes profits over winning. The hosts debate whether Washington's outspoken comments about a wealthy white businessman could potentially harm his career, though they acknowledge everything he said was accurate. The show also covers Nick Cannon's stance against the term "co-parenting," with the father of 12 children arguing that such labels are unnecessary and potentially harmful since parents are simply parents regardless of their relationship status. The hosts disagree with Cannon's perspective, maintaining that co-parenting is an accurate description of shared parenting responsibilities. Regular segments include Gary B's "Color of the Day" featuring Santorini and beautiful black, listener wake-up calls from various cities, and Jeff Johnson's political commentary covering federal intervention in Washington D.C., Democratic governors pushing back against Republican redistricting efforts, and the escalating political tensions nationwide. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
