Not everyone lives up to the title “Sis.” On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby get real about friendship—when to cherish it, when to check it, and when it’s time to move on. Gucci Mane’s recent revelations about fake friends who took advantage of him while he was ill inspire Sheryl and Terrika to consider their own experiences with loyalty, gossip, and boundaries. The duo breaks down how to know who’s really in your corner. Plus, they play a hilarious game of Keep, Reassign, or Terminate to test what different types of friends deserve. This one’s equal parts funny, honest, and maybe a little too relatable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
