I AM the worst at jokes. I can’t keep a story straight and I have a really hard time pranking people without busting out laughing in the middle of it. So with April Fools still lingering in our minds, I can only leave you with a suggestion for other funny people to listen to: The Hot 97 Morning Show. The hosts are controversial, smart, talented and hilarious [Ed note: FWIW Cipha Sounds hosts an amazing comedy series around NYC]. They have a segment called “That’s Racist” with personal stories, callers sharing something ridiculous that’s happened to them… the banter between the hosts is so funny I find it hard to turn the radio off and leave my apartment. It’s raw, honest and real. Something you don’t find that often nowadays! And the best part is, they're turning it into a TV show on VH1 called This Is Hot 97. BOOYA!
