This week on We Playin’ Spades, it’s getting reasonably shady at the Turquoise Table because Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby have entered the backyard! The reigning queens of Real Housewives of Potomac pull up ready to talk their talk—and Gizelle wastes no time arguing with Nick about which school is the real HU (Hampton or Howard… let us know in the comments).

We get into the Grand Dame’s homecoming (with all due respect to the throne), Ashley gives us a live dissertation on Twerkonomics 101, and the table debates which Housewives franchise shows up to brunch looking… less than grand (we’re just calling a spade a spade, okay?) The shade is light, the laughs are loud, and the bids are locked. Grab your drink, grab your partner — because today? It’s not for the faint of wig.

This week on We Playin’ Spades, a true icon of The Culture pulls up to the Backyard Boogie. Joseph Sikora, aka Power’s Tommy Egan, drops in on Nick and Courtney to see if his Southside Chicago upbringing is enough to beat our hosts. And he brought the self-claimed spades-ologist and Reasonable Doubt co-star Angela Grovey to lead the charge. They talk “Power,” possible “Reasonable Doubt” spoilers, visiting buddies in lock-up, and Joseph’s early rise to stardom on stage. Plus, they answer some plus-sized questions. Joseph is known for his sinister roles, but will he bring that intensity to the Turquoise Table? Grab your pen and paper, because We Playin’ Spades!

This week on We Playin’ Spades, Nick Cannon and Courtney Bee welcome the legend himself—Maury Povich! The man who turned “You are NOT the father!” into an era-defining moment pulls up to the Turquoise Table to talk legacy, laughter, and lies detected. Maury gets candid about the wild west of daytime talk in the ‘90s, why he walked away from sports journalism as a cub reporter, and how he managed to convince broadcast queen Connie Chung to say yes. Plus, he dishes on his latest chapter—his new podcast On Par with Maury Povich.

Joining him at the table is sharp-witted sports journalist Pablo Torre, known for mixing humor, intellect, and chaos in equal measure, and who recently broke the Kawhi Leonard saga. Together, Maury and Pablo turn the tables on Nick—asking the self-proclaimed “father of many” a few paternity questions of their own. It’s old-school media meets new-school mayhem—and when the cards hit the table, will the truth set ‘em free, or will somebody be shamed into running off set?

What up doe!? It’s a full-on roast-session this week on We Playin’ Spades because one of the greatest to ever do it joins Nick and Courtney in the backyard. Standup, actor, writer and master roaster Comedian CP pulls up to the turquoise table and he isn’t holding back. CP dives into his harshest hater, why who you cheat with matters, and the times roasting went wrong. Nick’s outfit also takes a beating, but CP doesn’t only dish ‘em out, he gets some heat from our hosts for everything from collecting Pokémon cards and playing with puppets, to his past jitting days. There’s also some quantum physics breaking our brains. The Detroit smack-taking is strong in this one, but is it enough to beat Nick and Courtney. Hit play, sit back and talk to your future self about this episode. It’s a good one!
