In this episode of Open Mike Radio. We welcome back Kandyce August as a guest host.  We discuss the attack on a Charleston church by white supremacist, Dylan Roof.  Alli Hanley calls in and we learn what it's been like on the Appalachian trail.  Then to spice it up a bit, we get all Wendy Williams on her and ask personal and innappropriate questions, "How you doin?'  We also have a spirited discussion on how to get booked on shows of our dreams, And as always post-its were handed out to protect the not so innocent.  

On this episode of Open Mike Radio, We welcome comedian Anthony Davis and we discuss the cost of comedy.FYI, it's hella expensive. Marcus went to the red box and detoured to the studio.    Damo Hicks drops by and we begin writing post-it notes furiously as we dispense shade in the shadiest manner possible.  We discuss some deplorable behavior at open mics.  Comics behaving badly and unsettled beef.

This week on the Open Mike Radio Show we welcome Rochelle "Cece" Thompson as she discusses her TV Show Headz Up TV and gives some interview advice to Greg's character "the unseasoned rapper".  We debate Nicki Minaj and her Pink Print. (ahem).  Cece turns the tables on us as we talk about "true" open mics versus "pre-booked" mics.  Michele asks, "Bish, whet?" when she gets unfriended on FB by the very sensitive entrepeneur Frenchie Davis.

Comedy Crush Edition - Tensions are high at the beginning of the episode. Mike and Michele discuss a possible comedy divorce. Later in the show, Mike, Greg and Michele share some experiences about what happens when comics involve friends, family and coworkers too heavily in their comedy careers. Also, Mike subtly playa-hates on today's special guest Benjy Himmelfarb because he is Michele's #WBCC (White boy comedy crush). In our "Bish Whet?!?" segment, Michele gets passionate about unrealistic beauty standards. Marcus couldn't make it to the studio this week but that doesn't stop him from constantly heckling the cast via twitter. Tune in for all the shade!!
