FFTC Gang! When you’re alone in your room, do you stare at the walls? Does your conscious call? Does it tell you to cut on a RomCom? If so, does it tell you to cut on Just Wright or Deliver Us From Eva?

*dies laughing*…well, you better watch both, and give it up for the Queens of RomComs: Queen Latifah and Gabrielle Union!!

On this episode, Queen Crowned ReRe guides Mr. Al Pete and the audience through a moment in time when Queen Latifah and Gabrielle Union were casted for some of our favorite romance comedies. This was inspired by International Women's Month. Also, you know they had to go through their staple segments: A Rose Is A Rose, The Cactus, Tyler Perry sightings, and more.

Enjoy the show and catch these laughs! It’s time to honor the Queens!

6 Years to the day (February 25th), Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete started this award winning/award nominated podcast! 6 years of Black Joy, Black commentary, Black culture, Black prosperity, Black excellence, and simply Blackness!

On this exclusive live event (streamed on YouTube for the first time), ReRe and Pete run through their signature segments ('A Rose Is A Rose', 'Cactus', 'Tyler Perry sighting'), then turn to speaking about what's been going on in the good ol' culture. We got Half Dollar (aka 50 Cent) and T.I. going back and forth, Tyler Perry's fascination with adding 'claps' to his movies, Baby Keem's dope album, and more.

Happy Anniversary and THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who tuned in to the live, and supports the podcast. More to come!

Let it be known, that it’s Black History Month…and Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete have a double dose of flowers to give!

It’s been a minute since ReRe and Pete have given flowers to a person/place/thing/idea. On this episode, they share two recipients each. ReRe handles the ladies (Mabel King and Oprah Winfrey) and Pete holds it down for the fellas (Roland Martin and D-Nice). Per usual, they go through their segments (A Rose Is A Rose and Cactus), Pete shares an exciting story of him meeting Ari Lennox and D-Nice, and ReRe always blesses the FFTC Gang with new music and intellectual introvert thoughts. Also, Alyce Rose makes a quick appearance on the show!

Enjoy the show and be on the lookout for the 6 year anniversary of the show. February 25th! Something special will happen!

OHHHH…Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete got fancy on the culture…and did a episode…a week after the last one dropped?? Is the culture ok?? Is something wrong?? Of course not! Everything is cool, but in the past week, the culture has been POPPIN’ BABY!

ReRe found it appropriate to shine some Black Joy light on a few things that happened! They took time to acknowledge Lynn Jones-Turpin, a news reporter and the Associate Editor for the Jacksonville Free Press from Jacksonville, Florida that went viral for her comforting words during a press release to Liam Coem, the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach. OHHHH…some of the culture was BIG MAD about that…*clocks*!

Next up, they give praises to Teyana Taylor’s Golden Globes win, the snubs Sinners movie is and will be receiving. They elaborated on how to conquer these activities and possibly shaping the way the culture view these incidents.

Lastly, ReRe and Pete visit Druski’s mega church skit. It was…interesting *laughs*. Did he get it right? Was he out of order for this? Share those thoughts.

Enjoy the show and look out for another show after this. They’ll have an update on the culture…pretty sure of it!

Happy 2026, FFTC Gang! We hope you’re refreshed from all the downtime with your family, friends, etc.! Now it’s time to get BYKE in motion with Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete!

This episode is focused on ReRe and Pete’s introvert ways *laughs*. They went through their staple segments (A Rose Is A Rose, The Cactus, the Tyler Perry sightings), while chatting about various things happening in the culture. To add on, it isn’t JUST chatting. It’s conversations. With that…2 introverts talking about what they would and wouldn’t do in said situation adds to the Black Joy the show brings.

Said situations = Sinners being snubbed, attending the Jacksonville Jaguars game, wanting to be home vs. out *laughs*, and more.

In conclusion, enjoy the show and share with your podcast lovers. Thank you in advance!

2025 has come to a quick end. 2026 is upon us, FFTC Gang! Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete return with their highlights of 2025. Of course, they couldn’t get through all of them, but they shared what was memorable to them.

From music to movies to the hapn’s in the culture, ReRe and Pete break down…basically…the Roses and Cactuses of the year. Per usual, there is always great music (Clipse new album and Mass Appeal’s album run, etc.) and Black Joy in the culture. With that comes the foolishness (Diddy’s trial and documentary, etc.). Regardless, 2025 was one for the books…and we appreciate you all rocking with the team!

Enjoy the Black Joy and share with your kinfolks! Happy Holidays and we’ll see you in 2026…or before then *winks*!

In this Black Joy episode of Flowers For the Culture, Crowned ReRe and Mr. Al Pete taps back in with what’s going on in the culture currently. ‘What’s Fresh In The Culture’ brings the two to speaking on things like Drake’s dismissed case against Kendrick Lamar, due to ‘nonactionable opinions’. They also share moments from the past that make you reflect (Toni Morrison), victories (Jacksonville Jaguars Monday Night Football win against the Kansas City Chiefs), gripes (people bashing Black conferences and festivals), and much more.

As always, ReRe and Pete get into their signature segments: A Rose Is A Rose and The Cactus, shedding light on what deserves praise and what needs some tough love.
