LaKendra Tookes (Reality Checked on Sirius XM's Radio Andy where every Wednesday is Kensday!) has her own show -- and it's about TIME! On this very first episode of TOOKES TAKES, LaKendra gets into it ALL -- from her approach to the Real Housewives ("It's my SPORTS y'all!") to plans that she's dreaming up for various franchises (A return of Linnethia Leakes!?! Could it ever really happen? LaKendra has hope!) to a detour into some of the pop culture that's woven into her DNA (the episode of Saved by the Bell where Lisa Turtle and Zach Morris finally got together, ofc). Plus, she debuts a new segment (they all are at this point, tbh) where she gets into her Mount Rushmore of Bougie Black Girls AND goes deep on episode six of the new season of Potomac -- the RHOP ladies are wrapping up their Lake Norman trip and celebrating Dr. Wendy's birthday and LaKendra has TAKES.
