Episode 13

Get ready for another laugh-out-loud, thought-provoking episode of the Hello Sister Podcast with Tiff and Aunge! Episode 13 is packed with viral moments, cultural conversations, and sisterly debates you won’t want to miss. If you love trending topics, unfiltered opinions, and a little bit of humor mixed with heart, this episode is exactly what your playlist needs.

We kick things off with Around the Social Media World, where we celebrate one of our forever faves, Idris Elba, who was officially knighted by King Charles III. Yes, we know it might not be breaking news, but giving people their flowers is always in season! We reflect on Idris Elba’s impact, his undeniable charm, and why this honor feels well deserved. Because let’s be honest… Sir Idris has a nice ring to it!

Next, we dive into the internet-breaking conversation around the “Verzuz that never was” featuring Tank and Tyrese. Both artists brought undeniable talent and nostalgia, but social media had a field day, especially when it came to Tyrese’s now-infamous turtlenecks. Was it about the vocals or the vibes? We break it all down with plenty of laughs along the way.

Then we get into a heated and thought-provoking topic involving Lebo M., best known for his work on The Lion King, and comedian Learnmore Jonasi. The controversy stems from comments made on the One54 Africa Podcast hosted by Akbar and Godfrey, leading to a jaw-dropping $27 million lawsuit. We unpack both sides of the argument, comedy versus respect, freedom of speech versus cultural sensitivity, and ask the big question: is $27 million justified, or is that number doing entirely too much?

Of course, it wouldn’t be Hello Sister Podcast without our fan-favorite segment, What the Florida? This week, we discuss the headline-making DUI arrest of golf legend Tiger Woods. We get into all the details, share our honest reactions, and ask the question everyone is thinking: with all that money, why not just hire a driver? It’s messy, it’s surprising, and yes we have opinions.

Then it’s time for another round of 2 Gotta Go: Easter Edition! The menu is stacked with classics: mac and cheese, yams, ham (or lamb, depending on your household), turkey, and collard greens. But here’s the twist. . . two have to go! The choices get real, the debate gets heated, and let’s just say Tiff’s picks almost spark a full-on sister showdown. You might not agree with us, but you’ll definitely be entertained.

We close out Episode 13 with a heartfelt Sister Salute to Patrice, our incredible Bahamian tour guide who showed us the beauty, culture, and hidden gems of Nassau. It’s a moment of gratitude and appreciation that reminds us why connection and kindness always matter.

From celebrity headlines and viral debates to cultural commentary and personal reflections, Episode 13 of the Hello Sister Podcast w/ Tiff and Aunge delivers it all. Tune in, laugh with us, and join the conversation because with Tiff and Aunge, it’s always real, always relatable, and always a good time.

Hello, sister. Hello, sister. Welcome to Hello Sister Podcast with Tiffanange, episode 13. 13. Lucky 13. In our case, absolutely lucky 13. Yeah. And you all are in luck because we have a great show for you today. We're going to spend a lot of time on around the social media. Y'all, y'all acting up. It's getting out of control at this point. And I'm excited about it. So we're going to do a little bit around social media. Of course, y'all love the what the Florida. So we got to keep the what the F's going. Uh, it's almost Easter. I'm actually excited about that. Yes. My job gives me good Friday off. What a blessing. I know. Look at God. My job gives me every Friday off. You know what? We'll talk about that later. But we are going to do another two gotta go Easter edition. And then we'll end in a sister salute. Yes. You ready to get this thing started? Let's get rolling. Let's get it. All right. Around the social media world. Ciao. Let's start off with my favorite delicious actor, Idris Elba. Delicious. Oh, he's so delicious. I mean, the man is a DJ. Yes. He acts, he produces, he raps, he fights. Yes, he does. Mm-hmm. And great battle scenes. But now he is a sir. Yes. And what I mean by that is he actually got knighted from Prince Charles III. King Charles III. Excuse me, yes, thank you. King Charles III, earning him the title of Sir Idris Elba. I feel like this happened like totally in secret, or maybe I just missed it and it came around my social media again. But this happened New Year's. Oh. And um he was one of the um people who got their knighthood, and and obviously with black representation, it means something. So super excited for Idris Elba to get become Sir Sir Idris Elba. I love that. I love that. It's such an honor. And you know, you hear about Sir Elton John, you know what I mean? So um I'm excited for him, and I think that's a great way to represent us in the UK. So I love it. I love it. I'm so excited for him. He was always my sir. Oh, every time I heard his name, I'd be like, Sir. Yes, sir, come on, sir. So sir, you can't be just fine, sir. Sir, sir. Now he is officially sir. Sir. So you know he's our mom's favorite actor. Yes. And she said that's the only one on her list. So if Idris is interested. Idris is happily married, man. And so is she? Yes. But if he's interested and uh they are in the same town, he's on the list. All right, Mr. Idris. Sir Idris. Sir Idris. Yes. Okay. Love it. All right. Well, let's keep it pushing. Let's do it. And this one is funny. Mess. So this week there was an amazing versus. I have been waiting for this versus for so long. Yep. I love me some tank. I love me some Tyrese. And they went head to head in the latest verses, Tank versus Tyrese. Just happened. Well, before you even get started. Yeah. I did not see it. He didn't? I did not see it. Alright, throw the whole episode away. How you didn't see Tank versus Tyrese? Those are both our boys. I know I went to bed. When we gotta make the face with it. When we gotta make the face. Come on. I love it. I love it. I'm gonna have to watch it, but I did not see it. Well, I'm gonna do spoiler alert. Spoil it for me. Okay. But before you do, who won? Okay, so that's a matter of judgment. Okay. They ended with them claiming that they both won.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

Okay. Right?

SPEAKER_00 3:57

Tyrese says that he won. Tank, you know, didn't really go into a ton of detail, but he obviously thinks he won. Tank had a whole bunch of guests. And um Tyrese sang his good chocolate bones down to the soul. Okay. But he changed clothes at least four or five times. That's one outfit in particular. Oh no. That he stayed consistent on that Tank finally said, okay now, you're gonna burn up in that turtleneck. He created a song. Tyrese got the turtleneck. No, we didn't. Then he had the audience participate. Turtle! No, we didn't. I'm in the shower. Turtleneck! Turtle. I cannot stop singing that song. And all of it they got sweet lady, win we, all of it. And you and they're singing turtleneck. Literally repeating turtleneck. That's so funny. It is hilarious. So not just for that funny moment. It was actually really good verses. They brought out some guests, um, some excellent singers came out, had a great time. I enjoyed every ounce of it. They clearly love each other. They clearly are brothers, which you know, they went on tour with Genuine together. So they they were having a lot of fun talking about each other. I win, you win. They just were having a good time. Oh, I can't wait to watch it. Yes, child. But there were two chocolates. That that that Tyrese turtle net. You so funny. All right, so one more thing around social media. Okay. This, I mean, for weeks has had me laughing. Okay. So, learn more, Jonassi. I hope I pronounced his name right. Jonassi uh is a comedian, African comedian. He was on uh 154 Africa podcast with Apfar and Godfrey, which if you haven't watched their podcast, hilarious. It is absolutely hilarious. I love them, they're keeping it real, they have real conversations, but they had uh Jonassi on there, who's a Zimbabwean uh comedian, and he gave us the real meaning of the circle of life lion king. Look, there's a lion! Oh my god, it's a lion. We never think that it's out there and it's like this beautiful tribute, and it's look, it's a lion, oh my god. It was the oh my god for me. I got you. So we think it's funny, yes, but the actual composer Libo M, who's a Grammy-winning South African composer behind the circle of life, did not find it funny at all. To the tune of $27 million. He is suing Janasi, the comedian, for $27 million for defamation, and he is just doesn't think it's a joke. And again, it's a comedian. It's satire, it's funny, it's meant to be what it is. Uh, the funny part about that, Godfrey came on social media and he talked about uh the two actors, uh I can't remember their names, but played Pumba and Timone. And they said the same thing. Look, it's a lion. So I don't know what the big issue is. I also understand Lebo M. This was acclaimed for him, honorable for him, yeah. Definitely something that was to be impressed and gave amazing credits and honor to him. Yes. However, yes, yeah. And so here's the thing that um I think he didn't anticipate.

SPEAKER_01 7:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:54

The moment with Seth Rogan and the other actor, I don't remember his name, and I feel so bad about that, but that moment didn't go viral the way that this one did. So it could have happened yesterday, yeah, and it did not get the same attention because it didn't have that viral moment. So the comedian made it so funny, and Godfrey, he is absolutely hilarious. Uh side note, Godfrey's uh the black people, leave black people alone. I watch every single one. Oh, he's off the chain. I watch every Leave Black People Alone in this episode of Leave Black People Alone. I watch every single one. Shout out to Godfrey, hilarious, hilarious. Sorry, back to the point. Yeah. So, do you think that he truly has a $27 million lawsuit? No. Okay. And Godfrey found the evidence. Yeah, he did. Because if you sue him, you gotta sue Seth Rogan. And Seth Rogan actually got it. Poor Janase, I'm pretty sure he ain't working with $27 million to the tune that he done got him a GoFundMe.

unknown 8:55

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 8:56

He he needs legal. Yeah, he needs legal representation. So he got him a go fund me to help with legal representation. If I had something to give you, I'd I holler at you. Unfortunately, I ain't got nothing to help you. No. But that, oh my god, it's a liar. I'm sorry. That never and did you see how they served him while he was on stage? Oh no, I did not. Oh my gosh. So he put out a video that they served him on stage. Wow. So he's doing his comedic routine, and this guy walks up to him with an envelope. He doesn't take it, he tosses the envelope on the stage, he picks it up, and then he's like, I'm being sued. And he tried to make light of it. You could tell he was shaken. Of course he was. I mean, that's not what you expect. No, no, no. Yeah. So I mean, I hope that Lebo M take the glory, right? Circle of life has been a long time. Yeah. So this brings you back into the light. And it is funny. And it's okay for you to go on the show and say that's not what it's meant. That's not what it means. Here's what it means. It actually is beautiful what it actually means. It's all hail the king. We all bow in the presence of the king. All right. It's beautiful. Nobody was out here feeling defrauded. Nobody was out here feeling hurt. It was a joke. We laughed at the joke. We're still gonna watch The Lion King. Yes. But we're gonna say, oh my god. It's a lion. It's a lion. Yeah. I I think it's a little too far. 27 million. Yeah. Was it from embarrassment? Like, I just don't understand that where you got that number from and why you're doing this now. Yeah. I mean, I really think his feelings are hurt because he did. I mean, it is it is a acclaimed thing for him. Like, I do think he's a acclaimed producer, and this was a major thing for him. But what did he lose? Nothing. If anything, he brought Circle Life back into it. Of course it is. Of course it is. Don't make us boycott, because you know we do that too. Sure. Disney better come through and help pay them legal fees for Jonas. Girl. Well, he's not the only celebrity that's in legal trouble. Would you like to move on to what the Florida? Oh, here we go, Florida. Florida be floatering, sure. Let's move on. I'm gonna read this so you can hear it the way that I read it. I love when you say that because it's always some mess when you do that. Are you ready? I'm ready. Tiger Woods was arrested under suspicion of DUI after a crash in South Florida. Woods was traveling at a high rate of speed when his SUV clipped the back of a trailer pulled by a pickup truck and rolled on its side, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office. Oh my god. Is he okay? First of all, is he okay? No one was injured. Okay. But that's not the crazy part. Oh fun. Come on, Florida. So this isn't Tiger Woods' first run-in with DUI. Yeah. This is the part where I'm a little mm-mm. Woods was placed under arrest and booked into Martin County jail on charges of DUI, property damage, and failure to submit a lawful test. However, a breathalyzer test determined alcohol was not involved. But the sheriff said Woods showed signs of impairment and refused a urine test at the jail. So he passed the breathalyzer. Interesting. Why was he rested? Well, I mean, driving under the influence can be anything. Okay, well, he did not submit to a urine test. So it was not under the influence of alcohol. But the urine test may have shown if there were other things, prescription medication, marijuana, things like that.

SPEAKER_01 12:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:43

Um but if he seemed impaired, then obviously they have a suspicion. Yeah. He's gonna fight that. Of course he is. And he got the money to win that. Well, I mean, he did the breathalyzer, so he was smart to say that he wasn't drinking. But sir, all the Ubers, all the black cars, all the people who are willing to get in that driver's side and drive for you, if you gave any parts of being impaired, shame on you. Yeah. So this happened in uh on Jupiter Island. So if you know anything about Jupiter, Jupiter is probably one of the richest zip codes in South Florida. Absolutely beautiful. And so um it's it's so small. Like from end to end, you could easily take a $10 ride share. It's very small, very rich, but it's very small. So you really honestly have no excuse not to take a ride share if you're impaired. Yeah, and he could have been just sleepy, and showing signs of sleepiness could show signs of impairment. So I'm sure they could fight this. Ain't no excuse. If you're sleepy, you get a car. If you're impaired, you get a car. If you want to go out and party, you get a car. If you want to go to the bar in a restaurant, you get a car. Why doesn't he have a driver? I think that's the part that's confusing to me. Like, if you have a previous DUI or run-ins with the law and issues with driving, I know he's fallen asleep behind the wheel before. Like, if you have issues, why don't you have a driver? As much money as you have? That's a $75,000 paid job. Yeah. Like, what would so I was looking at the Forbes 2026 richest people list. Guess who's on there? Oh, Tiger. Yeah. One of the richest black men in the world on the top. He's not black. He's Blaysian. Black Asian. Complicated. I get it. He's complicated. But he is one of the richest. Uh they had him down as black in the world. I mean, there was like 27, don't quote me on exactly how many blacks, but there was like 27 black people. And he's on the black. And he is on the list as a billionaire, and you getting impaired, sleepy, whatever's happening. What the Florida? I got nothing. What the Florida? I don't understand. And and it happened in Florida, so we can what the Florida him. But Tiger, you got to do better, man. Got to do better. You got to do better. Got to do better. It's very disappointing. Yeah. But you know, especially going into this next weekend is uh Easter holiday. Yeah. And there's gonna be a lot of people who are actually gonna be out traveling to be with family. Spring break in some cases. Yeah. You you you gotta do better. Yeah, you got kids, sir. You you gotta stick around for your kids. That could have been a much worse accident because he did uh flip the car on the side. Yeah, it could have hurt somebody else or even himself. There's enough people who are dying from car accidents that you know are avoidable that this this can't be it. That's true. Very true. Well, speaking of Easter, yeah. Easter, this is Good Friday coming up. Yes, we gotta two gotta go. Two gotta go. And this is Easter Food Edition. Okay. Two gotta go.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

Two gotta go.

SPEAKER_00 15:52

So I'm gonna give you one two three four five. One two three four five. Five choices. Okay. And two gotta go. Alright, this is Black Easter. Black Easter. Okay, gotcha. Now this is your grandma's cooking Easter, not any random person cooking. So grandma in the kitchen. Two gotta go. Two gotta go tradition. Okay. So mac and cheese. Nope. Yams. Nope.

I know, I know. This is hard. And turkey. I I feel very disrespected. I make the yams. You make the yams. I feel very disrespected. Okay. So I'm keeping mac and cheese, ham or lamb, and and collard greens. Okay. That was hard. Yeah, it is. What you got? Two gotta go. Oh, I wasn't waiting for you to ask me. Oh, excuse me. Um, so I'm gonna go with turkey. Turkey gotta go. Turkey gotta go. Because uh we do it for Thanksgiving and for Christmas. Yeah. I I can do without it for Easter. Yeah. Okay. All right. Um and I can do without the lamb or ham. So you just go on straight sides. I'm gonna tell you why. Okay. Because the way that we make collard greens, we put smoked turkey in it. Uh no, ma'am. You ain't getting you ain't getting enough collagens. So the turkey. Yeah, I got a clean. Yeah, I got some heat in. Okay, all right. Well, I ain't mad at it. Uh I'm not getting rid of my yams.

So we um I'm gonna do the dressing next holiday. Oh, nice. I'm very proud of that. I don't think that's a good idea. I think we got our mama, or our mama needs to do it until the day she died, and then you can take over. Because if you mess it up, you can't take on the signature dish that your best family member does until they pass. Perfect it. Keep doing it every year. Make a little side casserole size, and we can taste it and see. And then if it's good, you can take over. My mama's dressing from the person that don't cook. I don't cook, but I can taste. And I know what good tastes like. I know what grandma players like. See the ones that don't cook be the loudest ones. Talking snack. But ma'am, sit in your lane. All right. If you don't like it, push it to the side of your plate. Rams, ma'am. You're so rude. We're gonna have a conversation offline about that. I know.
