Also, on a recent episode of CNN's Smerconish, Michael Smerconish sits down with a panel of voters, who implied they are voting for Trump in the primary, but voting for someone else in the general. It's an interesting situation to say the least. Finally, we close the show on another installment of "Mutha Fucka Say What," It's all about Flint Water Crisis and this time, one of the plaintiffs is found shot dead. Is there a conspiracy?

Episode 137 of #BWYM picks up with a "hangover" from Friday in which Mike begins to question the framework of the Democratic Party and if he still fits within it in the light of the popularity of Bernie Sanders' leftist movement. Do we need more party options, and what would that landscape look like? Money in politics is a big issue this cycle, and the team discusses the latest dinner hosted by George Clooney in which attendees paid more than $300,000 per plate. Talk about finger licking good! What is this money being raised for? And why do we need so much? We are offering a 2 for 1 special on our "Mutha Fucka Say What" and "Cops Gone Wild Segments" today with a story that is just, unjust, heart warming and infuriating at the same damn time! Plus an interesting smoker's tale and some Steph Curry analysis as the NBA playoffs begin.

The latest #BWYM has Black Pedro ecstatic coming off of ANOTHER Bernie Sanders victory, only to have his bubble burst when Rena-Marie and Mike remind him that Bernie doesn't know ANYTHING! Well, not really. But, they do bring up Bernie's interview with the New York Daily News Editorial Board, which has him on the hot seat right now, and they DO question whether Bernie was 100% right with his Panama Papers predictions. People in Wisconsin still felt the Bern...but what do they know!? We also discuss the bitter sweet Cruz victory. Is he the ONLY answer to Trump the GOP can come up with? Amy Schumer is up in arms over her inclusion in Glamour Magazine's "plus-size" celebrity list. Truth hurts...but it also raises questions about the "standards" that we place on women, and why we still use labels like this at all. Lastly, a quick update on the status of the proposed $15/hr minimum wage hike here in California. This, plus the usual small talk as the #BWYM train keeps chugging down the tracks.

Welcome fellow BWYMers! Episode 131 starts with a double dose of "Mutha Fucka Say What!?" as we discuss Apple's update on SIRI's emergency responses, plus a rogue jeep that takes out a navy jet. Stop tailgating bro!!! It seems, much to our confusion, that Bernie Sanders has won Nevada after all. Trying to understand the multi-tiered process of state caucus vs. county conventions vs. state convention is exhausting…and we still don't get it! We also get into a juicy story that involves world leaders, offshore accounts and billions of dollars, and Panama is at the center of it. Our nation's cops are considering training to deal with autistic individuals properly. We also predict a foreseeable outbreak of autism in the hood! Lastly, SCOTUS slaps down the latest conservative attempt to manipulate election results through voter redistricting. They were outside the lines on this one, and Ruth Bader-Ginsberg lets them know it!

Team BWYM discusses some of the latest troubles in Donald Trump's camp. While people are calling for him to fire one of his staffers, another has quit, but not without writing a revealing open letter detailing her reasons for leaving. The latest installment of "Mutha Fucka Say What" has the team baffled as the concept of "Black privilege" is surfacing among some (insane) conservative circles. We also have a "Cops Gone Wild" story that isn't clear cut, leaving many questions unanswered and a Minneapolis community on the verge of protest against the decision not to indict the officers involved. And lastly, we discuss the proposed hike in California's minimum wage. Fifteen dollars an hour is on the horizon for many of the state's workers…might be time for us to get a job!

Episode 128 of #BWYM brings a guest to the studio in the form of the very funny and intelligent comedian, Chinedu Unaka. The LA native sits down with Mike, Rena-Marie and Black Pedro as we first take a look at this past weekend's primary results. Bernie swept, but the media is still Hillary heavy...Black Pedro is pissed! We also take a look at Fidel Castro's reaction to President Obama's recent Cuba visit. Listening to Fidel, you'd think we had beef with Cuba or something…what's gotten into him?!? Lastly, an update on the sad story behind the death of Sandra Bland last year. The officer who (wrongfully) arrested her is finally being charged, but the group questions whether this is enough. Can justice be found at all? All this, and you can watch us on video now too! You're welcome!

TOday on #BWYM, the team discusses the recent Arizona election and the delays in being able to actually vote. Also, we discuss the recent National Enquirer story about Ted Cruz and his so-called affairs. Mike thinks Trump, Trumped up the scandal and got the National Enquirer to post it. What a dick. Great news, Detroit promises to offer free tuition to community college for all. We have another installment of "Mutha Fucka Say What," Michelle Bachman says "God Punished Obama For Cuba Visit With Brussels Attack." Finally, we say rest in peace to comedian legend, Gary Shandling.

Today the #BWYM team tackles the recent bombings in Brussels and the effects it will have on the global opinion and treatment of Muslims. There are (at least) two sides to every story, we like to talk about all of them. On the heels of another round of primaries, this time in western states, Black Pedro expresses frustrations about main stream media's coverage of Bernie's successes as marginal accomplishments. We all take the time to bash anyone supporting Trump, but also debate the idea that Ted Cruz might be worse. What is 'Murica to do??!? Mike and Rena-Marie share a mind-blowing case of medical malpractice that hits close to home, and will make you want to double/triple/quadruple check with your doctor before they put you under. Lastly, a heart-felt and sad goodbye to one of Hip-Hops legends. Gone too soon, but never to be forgotten.

Today, on #BWYM, the team discusses a variety of different topics, including President Obama's trip to Cuba, and we are not talking Gooding Jr.'s house. Also, 10 things to hate about the rich. We could find more, but due to time, we will just focus on 10 things. Mike brings up a story featured on the most recent episode of VICE on HBO. It's all about assisted suicide and it's live. Finally, we have another installment of "Mutha Fucka Say What?," this time, it's about a racist attacker who claims to be allergic to black people.

Today, on #BWYM, Mike Casentini, Black Pedro and Rena-Marie Villano discuss the topics of the day, which includes a little story about CNN's Amanda Carpenter (a republican), for her article on Conservative Review: Blackballing Those Who Endorse Trump. Also, we discuss Michigan Governor Rick Snyder taking it on the Hill. And, congrats to #BlackLivesMatter who is helping to bring real change to Chicago & Cleveland. Out with the old.

Today on #BWYM, the team discusses last nights primary election, otherwise known as Super Super Super Tuesday or Super Tuesday Part Third. What an election season this is and boy do we hope this ends on a positive note, but by the looks of things Donald Trump the maniac continues to win states. Also, President Obama announced today his choice for the Supreme Court. Now, the ball is in the Republicans court. Let's see if they continue to obstruct the process. Finally, we discuss the 21 year old American student who stupidly decided to go to North Korea and somehow found his way to jail and a 15 year sentence to hard labor. America, DON'T VISIT HOSTILE COUNTRIES IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU. You just might get imprisoned for 15 years. What a dummy.

The 122nd installment of the American classic that is BWYM, starts with a cliffhanger from our last show. Remember the brothers that directed The Matrix Trilogy? Well, they are not brothers any more…we'll explain. Japanese scientist may have found a solution for the global plastic crisis with the discovery of a bacterium's possible ability to breakdown the everlasting product. We also discuss the growing violence at Trump events, as those who support Bernie Sanders and other causes are beginning to push back against the aggressive and often physical actions that Trumpers display towards those who disagree with them. What does this mean going forward? Are we headed towards a violent clash on a larger scale? While we have yet to see what may come of this, what we do know is that somebody peed in your cereal, and video taped themselves doing it…two years ago! Ok, maybe it wasn't you…but somebody ate the those Rice Cris-pee Treats!

In this episode of #BWYM, the team continues the conversation about the very heated political season we are in. We talk Republican and Democrats, while touching on the most recent political debates and national news.

Following last night's primary results in Michigan, Mississippi, and Idaho, team #BWYM analyzes the results on both side and what they could mean for the primaries moving forward. We also wonder WHY DONALD TRUMP IS STILL LEADING??? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!? Sorry…we then move into a preview of tonight's DNC debate in the all important state of Florida. We are all looking forward to a substantive debate in which the two candidates continue to respectfully separate themselves politically for the sake of democratic voters. Sounds like the students of Boston's public school system are tired of the conditions and mismanagement of their schools, as are many around the nation, and have taken their gripe to the streets to seek the change they need. Lastly, a quick highlight of a couple of quality candidates who withdrew from SCOTUS nomination considerations. Who is next on President Obama's list and how does this affect the open seat overall? Let's talk it out! #BWYM or bust!
