7 Sharp: Flag Controversy, Kirk Franklin's Big Win, and Dating Show Danger!   Blu and Roger are back for another sharp discussion! The hosts dive into the continued controversy around the display of an excessive number of British flags in the Kingstanding community, a topic first raised in a previous show, and the community's response. They also react to a video from a Black British woman in Nottingham, who passionately defends British values and her family's legal route of immigration, sparking a debate on pride, heritage, and the experiences of different generations of immigrants.   Later, they turn their attention to gospel legend Kirk Franklin (whom Blu affectionately calls the "Christian leprechaun") and a recent discussion he hosted with Kev on Stage, Jonathan Majors, and others. The conversation moves to the struggles men face with vulnerability in relationships and why women must avoid "weaponizing" their partner's openness. Finally, the hosts analyze a shocking new Christian-endorsed dating show that gives married couples a "hall pass" to test the limits of their commitment. Should a Christian woman encourage married people to test temptation?   #7Sharp #AffinityXtra #BluAndRoger #KirkFranklin #DatingShow #Christianity #Marriage #Vulnerability #RelationshipGoals #BlackCulture #BritishValues #Immigration #BlackImmigration #FlagControversy #PaganChristmas #KevinHart #KevOnStage #JonathanMajors #TheHallPass #Nottingham #Kingston #Podcast #UKPodcast #BlackBritish #TylerPerry   https://youtu.be/fePMj1DXqLQ

In this interview, you'll hear about:* The concept of true joy as "a fruit of the spirit" and "an intentional decision".* How she believes her songs are a "declaration" and are intentionally "word based," focusing on "singing the word".* The blend of sounds in 'Ayo'—a song with a typical African sound (percussions and drums) but primarily sung in English.* How the song calls out different names of God, including Jesu and ABBA (Father).* Personal testimonies, including how the song has brought peace and clarity to listeners.
'Ayo' is the beginning of her fourth studio album. #Toluwanimee #AyoSong #GospelZone #HowieMackie #GospelMusic #ChristianMusic #WorshipLeader #Yoruba #AfricanGospel #InspirationalMusic #SingingTheWord #AffinityXtra https://youtu.be/AxvSXuQtpBA

RVM 191: International Football - World Cup Qualifiers, England's Struggles & The Hypocrisy of Club vs. Country   Roger and Marx are back for another episode of the Roger Van Moorinho Show on Affinity Xtra! In this episode, the guys dive into the recent international break and World Cup qualifiers, offering a unique perspective on the state of global football.   The show kicks off with a discussion about the upcoming World Cup in Canada, the US, and Mexico, touching on the challenges teams will face with varying climates. They then go group-by-group through the qualifiers, sharing their thoughts on England's unconvincing performances and the struggles of traditional powerhouses like Germany.   The conversation gets heated as they discuss the challenges faced by smaller nations and the hypocrisy they see in modern football. They criticize players who prioritize club careers over international loyalty, referencing players like Alexander Isak and his impact on Sweden's team. They also question the loyalty of players who "skank" their heritage nations to play for a more popular country, like the discussion around Mason Greenwood and Jamaica.   Roger and Marx argue that some of these struggles are a result of countries hiring foreign managers and losing their national identity in the process. They believe international football should be "the best of us, against the best of you" with a full national setup, from coaches to players. The conversation then shifts to the state of South American football, where Brazil is struggling in their group with surprising losses , and the challenges faced by African teams, including Nigeria's disappointing performance in their qualifying group.   The show is a mix of passionate debate, honest opinions, and unfiltered analysis of the beautiful game.   #RVM191 #InternationalFootball #WorldCupQualifiers #EnglandFootball #BrazilFootball #NigeriaFootball #FootballPodcast #WorldCup2026 #RogerVanMoorinhoShow #AffinityXtra   https://youtu.be/T1daynLEfZ0

RVM 190: The Transfer Window Showdown - Arsenal, Liverpool & Man United's Hits & Misses   Join Roger and Anthony on the Roger Van Moorinho Show as they dive deep into the recent transfer window! In this explosive episode, they break down the biggest moves, the questionable decisions, and the players who could define the season.   The guys go club by club, starting with the smaller teams like Bournemouth and Brighton before tackling the "big clubs." They debate Spurs' impressive signings, including Kudus, Xavi Simons, and Paulinho. Roger gives Tottenham an "8.5 out of 10" for their transfer business, while Anthony argues that players like Simmons still have a lot to prove despite their potential.   The conversation heats up when they turn to the transfer sagas. Anthony questions why a player like Raheem Sterling should be forced to go to a country he doesn't want to play in. The guys criticize what they see as hypocrisy from clubs who force players out, citing the Donnarumma transfer from PSG as a prime example.   The debate gets personal when they discuss Alexander Isak's move and Newcastle's role in it. Roger defends Isak's decision, arguing that he shouldn't be "mugged off" with a low wage at a rich club that wouldn't pay him his worth.   Manchester United's transfer window gets a harsh review, with Anthony giving them a "5.5 out of 10" for failing to address their glaring midfield issues and missing out on players like Donnarumma. In contrast, Arsenal receives high praise, with a "9.5 out of 10" from Anthony for bringing in key players like Kepa, the "Glock," and the "prodigal son" Eberechi Eze. They also touch on Liverpool's transfer activity, praising their signings but pointing out their major oversight in not bringing in a new center-back.   Tune in for unfiltered opinions, heated debates, and a comprehensive breakdown of the transfer window from a "black man perspective."   #RVM190 #TransferWindow #FootballPodcast #PremierLeague #Arsenal #Liverpool #ManUnited #Tottenham #Chelsea #Newcastle #AFC Bournemouth #Brighton #CrystalPalace #TransferNews #Soccer #EPL #SportsTalk #RogerVanMoorinhoShow #AffinityXtra   https://youtu.be/JhIJEHLsnVo
