This morning’s episode was classic TDA energy - pure jokes, sharp debates, wild theories, and a heavy news breakdown all rolled into one. We kicked off with updates about Saturday’s big photoshoot for TDA and The Rotation, the stress of shooting outdoors in the rain, and the big announcements coming for Christmas and the new year.

From there, the convo spiralled beautifully into everything from apprenticeships to Brandy & Monica’s tour, accusations flying in the chat, and a hilarious back-and-forth about whether Wiz Khalifa is a flat-earther. Then things got even more chaotic as the team argued about Candace Owens, conspiracies, assassination claims, the moon landing, whether the Earth is flat, and who really killed Malcolm X - one of the funniest TDA tangents this week.

We then locked in properly for the news rundown: the UK budget drama, a heated clash between Rachel Reeves and Sadiq Khan, global political tensions, tech wars between Nvidia and Google, the Louvre robbery arrests, fires in Hong Kong, National Guard shootings in the US, hurricanes in Jamaica, and a coup unfolding in Guinea-Bissau. The team wrapped everything with sharp analysis, jokes, and well-needed context.

Today’s episode was a full ride - jokes, culture, politics, and one of our most important conversations to date. We opened with morning chaos, link mix-ups, Brent’s return, and pure comedy about Sierra Leoneans, fashion, and whether certain clothes are “anti-Black.” From the MAGA hat to tech hoodies to cultural assimilation, the panel unpacked what we wear, how society reads it, and whether abandoning traditional languages or clothing counts as anti-Blackness.

We moved into the headlines - minimum wage changes, tourist taxes, HP layoffs, Windrush justice, global conflicts, volcanic eruptions, kidnappings in Nigeria, Sudan peace talks, EU military funding, and political crackdowns in Brazil and Tanzania - giving the community a rapid but thorough breakdown of what’s happening worldwide.

Then we shifted into a powerful Topic of the Day with special guest Siaka Stevens, the British Sierra Leonean entrepreneur behind the Sherbro Island City Project, partnering with Idris Elba to build a sustainable, future-focused smart city in Sierra Leone. Siaka walked us through his upbringing, the legacy of his family, why he returned home, how he built a global network through events and nightlife, and how this project plans to transform the region. He broke down governance, land rights, community protection, controlled capitalism, investor trust, and how Sherbro is designed to lift local people into long-term prosperity - not push them out.

It was a rare mix of humour, cultural honesty, global awareness, and a deep dive into African development from someone doing the work on the ground.

This morning’s episode was pure chaos and comedy from start to finish. We opened with tech issues, double livestreams, and everyone trying to figure out what channel the show was even on - but once things finally synced up, we dived straight into the madness of The Danish Deception. From dissecting the wild four-hour saga to questioning delusion, red flags, and accountability, the conversation spun between heartbreak, humour, and cultural commentary.

Sade and Brent debated dating choices, “donut behaviour,” family dynamics, and whether love can really make someone miss every obvious sign. Then the convo spiralled hilariously into Grenadian men, playlists that reveal too much, passport bros vs passport sis, cooking slander, and whether music shapes relationship culture today.

A proper TDA episode - unfiltered, funny, insightful, chaotic, and very, very real.

Today’s episode was pure morning chaos and honest conversation. From Arsenal’s win and weekend recaps to the madness of The Danish Deception, we dove deep into relationship red flags, family punishments growing up, forgiveness, trauma, and the way culture shapes who we become. The crew shared raw stories-from school suspensions to childhood discipline to why certain people will never be forgiven-balancing humour, vulnerability, and cultural truth-telling the whole way through. We also teased the big content weekend coming up on the 29th, with photoshoots, behind-the-scenes access, and introductions to the new TDA and Rotation teams. A proper mix of jokes, honesty, and jaw-dropping moments.
