Summary

This week on ReLiving Single, we’re joined by the incomparable T.C. Carson—aka the original stockbroker with swag, Kyle Barker. Together, they rewind Living Single Season 1, Episode 23, “Five Card Stud,” where Kyle defends Regine in a high stakes poker game. The three unpack what it means for Black men to show up and speak up for Black women, the complexity of Kyle’s choices, and how the male friendships on the show offered a refreshing take on healthy masculinity. Plus, we get into today’s so-called “manosphere,” why self-awareness is sexy, and how real love requires real growth. Got a burning question for Erika or Kim about Living Single? True Blue Fans, send it our way at relivingsinglepodcast@hartbeat.com. Your note just might make it into the show. Follow us on Instagram and YouTube to stay in the mix.

She's a hunter. Is that what you call it? So you've done new scenes? Yeah, I haven't done a couple. In theater? Uh-huh. Did you see people in the audience with binoculars? You didn't need them. Every time I hear a brother, call up girl a bitch on a hole. Trying to make a sister feel low, you know all of that's got to go.
