Welcome to this week’s episode Couch Potatoes!

It’s March 1st, and we’re officially kicking off Women’s History Month! We begin tonight’s show with an icebreaker: How would you feel if someone you invited to an event brought a plus-one you don’t like? Let’s dive into the discussion!

Honoring Musical Legends

We take a moment to pay tribute to iconic figures in the music industry we’ve recently lost:

• Roberta Flack – Legendary singer known for Killing Me Softly

• D’Wayne Wiggins – Founding member of Tony! Toni! Toné!

• Angie Stone – Soul music icon (Brotha, No More Rain)

We also recognize the legacy of Danitra Vance, Saturday Night Live’s first Black lesbian cast member.
