Comedy #41

Join bloggers Kid Fury and Crissle for their weekly podcast covering hip-hop and pop culture's most trying stars. Throwing shade and spilling tea with a flippant and humorous attitude, no star is safe from Fury and Crissle unless their name is Beyoncé. (Or Blue Ivy.) As transplants to New York City (Kid Fury from Miami and Crissle from Oklahoma City), The Read also serves as an on-air therapy session for two friends trying to adjust to life (and rats) in the big city.The Read is part of the LoudSpeakers Network and is published every week on iTunes, iHeart Radio Talk, Soundcloud & Stitcher.

    One sided pod now
    The opinions don’t seem leveled anymore. The Drake & Kendrick situation for example is extremely biased. I like podcasts that point out the b.s of BOTH parties, because I want to hear it ALL, but when they do comparisons with celebrities it seems to be biased based off of who they LIKE personally. It’s like caping for their personal faves… I dunno, show feels different.

    My favorite podcast for sure. Kid Fury’s Sport Shorts. Crissle’s laugh…What more can you ask for?

    Much love!
    Thank you for normalizing mental health issues and glorifying pettiness.

    Struggling
    Long time listener here. I say this with the utmost respect and care, but as a listener, it's been difficult for me to continue tuning in. I hope this feedback doesn't come off as insensitive, but it's hard to engage with the content when it feels so heavy. I'm rooting for you and hope that you're able to find peace and support in this difficult time.

    The ultimate fall off🤷🏾
    Way too much dog talk… It’s kind of weird and creepy listening to y’all talk about sleeping in the bed with your dogs and putting them in expensive clothing.

    The spirit of giving
    Me and my bestie mention frequently that we deserve a quarterly mailbag episode. I’ll take this as a reminder to keep hope alive!

    Thanks for holding me down
    Just want to tell you guys thank you for being my comic relief yesterday I had a root canal I needed to take my mind off of the root canal procedure while in the chair and listen to you guys as I do every week your comic relief and funny puns really help me while I was getting this nightmare root canal done I appreciate you guys. I hope you’re well. Kid f I hope that you’re well. I think about you a lot I’ve shared the same struggles in the past. And Cristle I’m super inspired by your ability to go back to college and pursue your career while adulting. Love y’all Rey

    One of my FAVORITES for a long time.
    I just wanted to leave a review for The Read because I’ve been listening for a quite a long time and I want to give them their just due. Crissle and Kid Fury are some of the funniest people to be doing this. Every week I listen and I just laugh. Sometimes I will talk back to the speaker like I’m in the podcast too. They are just so relatable and so grounded and I always love to hear their takes on various current events. I also love the questions segment. Some of those questions are out of pocket but I love the insight they provide! All in all I love this show so much. I hope they never stop making episodes because I will never stop listening.

    They are me if they did the Fusion Dance
    I’m a mega nerd like Fury and very vocal and militant like Crissle. To find both aspects of myself be fulfilled so well within two people gives me so much joy. I’ve heard every episode (EVERY. EPISODE) since a friend of mine put me on back in 2017. I’ve listened to all of it and I’m tempted to start over and listen everything from the very beginning... Ya are amazing! Continue being exactly who you were meant to be 💪🏾✊🏾

    More mental health than pop culture
    Not as much pop culture anymore, but still love these two! I get the feeling we're not getting The Read for much longer, so savoring every episode.😉
  • Annaïse
    Can’t hear you
    Can someone please ask kid fury to speak up or enunciate? I’m catching every other word from him and that’s at full volume. Is he laying down when he records or something?
  • BreaChantelBryant
    I love the long episodes!
    I know y’all try to keep the episodes under 2 hours, but I LIVE for the elongated commentary, rants and READS! I love you Kid Fury and Crissle 🙌🏾 We need another Read Tour!!!

    Laughs and mental health
    As a middle-age white woman, I know I’m not Chrissle and Fury’s target audience, but this duo makes me laugh and think. I love how their conversations on mental health are rooted in friendship and how thoughtful they address listener questions. Thank you for the weekly laughs and the bump for my mental health!
  • YoTinaeri
    They shouted out, Eritrea!
    Love the show and how real they always keep it. Always enjoy the black excellence and this week they shouted out Bini Girmaye 🇪🇷 made my day!!!!
  • Cat lady in SD
    Don’t sleep on this podcast!
    Love this podcast, funny and poignant.
  • 👁💁🏽‍♂️👏🏽
    Amazing
    Crystal “I’ll talk about that next week” Never happens
  • MFarook83
    A weekly MUST!
    The Read is one of the only poculture-culture pods you need. The banter, the Reads, and smart convos. Hope Chrissle & Kid Fury never stop blessing us weekly.🤌🏾🥰🥰
  • Talyababeyy
    Why are yall not 5/5
    Honestly I'm adding another rating bc whoever gave y'all 1,2 stars before are haters. To this day i don't get why you’re not 5/5. Thanks for continuing to produce an amazing show week after week 🫶🏾
  • MrThomas313
    Crissle’s Jonathan Major commentary
    It’s disappointing how much hatred Crissle has towards men, black men specifically. Allegations are just that, allegations. Im sure if we go back to Oklahoma and NYC and ask 30 of your former classmates, co-workers, and ex lovers all feedback won’t be glowing ratings or reviews. Let’s wait until the verdict comes in. 06/27 episode: I feel sorry for any person who would go to Crissle for any form of BH services based upon her judge mental commentary.
  • Imcrary
    Best Podcast, hands down
    And we’re still calling Staples Center by her government name. Crpyto who? Never heard of her. - LA

    Crissle’s laugh is like SSRIs wrapped in mood stabilizers wrapped in EMDR wrapped in ketamine.

    LOVE Y’ALL THANK YOU
    Love y’all so much, love the pod 🤍 also, can we get more volume on the audio?! 😇 I’m always washing my face and cooking and it’s often hard to hear all these gems even at volume 10. Xoxo 💋
  • Ty Boogi
    Hey yall

  • miss_mini
    It’s time to end it.
    The show is depressing, their politics are inconsistent, not funny anymore, not enough listener letters. Been listening since 2013 and it’s time to move on.
  • @cthagoddess
    God has even MORE in store—and He just proved it!
    I love y’all and the podcast so much. I’ve been listening for the better part of 8 yrs. God bless yall.. The 2 of you bring so much joy to some of our very mundane lives. & Then yall went and shook up the monotony even more by getting to meet Bey!! Unbeknownst to you in the moment lol.. which honestly made the story THAT MUCH BETTER. Thus the rest of us met Bey thru yall. Happy tears were shed for you, especially Fury. God brought you this far babe—don’t give up! He did this and can do so much more. Hope that whole experience brought you the joy you needed, since you bring so much joy to others! Love yall deep.

    Grateful
    I am grateful to the both of you. Thank you for showing up every week being your authentic selves. It’s an honor, a privilege & a JOY to witness. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
  • DeDeMeMe929
    Ya’ll
    It’s very clear that they’re only doing this because they are under contract. They have become incredibly unlikeable and I think it’s because they are exhausted with their lives which is fair but it’s like hard to listen to. Time to revamp or cancel.
  • Trixxie28
    Love this podcast!
    This show has been a favorite of mine since 2013, back when the show was on SoundCloud. Crissle and Fury’s down to earth demeanor and interactions which each other has always been my favorite! I really feel like they are my best friends. I wanted to leave a comment as I finished the latest episode. You both so deserve so much!! Meeting Beyoncé and her knowing who you both are…I had tears in my eyes as they talked about their experiences. I’m so happy for you both. I absolutely love the longer episodes and each segment is amazing. This show is definitely my highlight to my week.
  • Big Cousin Chelle
    To God Be All the Glory!!
    I never write reviews, but for THIS episode I must make it known I am very happy for the two of you to met the artist of your life. Beyonce!! II adore your show I been listening since 2015 and I feel like a proud parent. Fury I'm glad last years terrible incident wasn't successful, The devil is a LIE . God had this for you all along. . I'm so inspired by you two . Dreams come true for people who work hard and are true to themselves.

I strongly suggest starting from the beginning of the journey, but you will instantly understood that these are the GOATs in podcasting. They have been since episode 1. Please, please, please, please, please, listen and review!!! Give them your listens and downloads!! You will grow if you start from the beginning. It is a beautiful journey that you will look forward to every episode drop. They are just gold! Get you a listen!! Kid Fury and Crissle are my big brother and sister in my head. They say what you are thinking and they are the biggest Beyoncé fans! Have been and will forever be my favs!
