Something New

Holla at your boy!

It's Fuzzy Fantabulous, Power

106, Big Boy's neighborhood.

LA, today is one of my favorite

days. You want to know why?

Happy Valentine's Day

to everybody.

That's right, once more again,

it's Valentine's Day.

Yo, check it out. I already

got some candy up here.

I got a couple of listeners

sent me some flowers.

I'm the luckiest dude

alive in Los Angeles.

Let me say that. Good

morning, it is a beautiful day.

For one, the sun is up,

65 degrees already outside.

The 405 is crowded. But who

cares? Everybody's in love today.

So they gonna get to work

when they want to.

People gonna have flowers.

Everybody is getting candy.

Every lady already has a date. All

the restaurants are booked tonight.

When I get off work, already I've

probably got four dates already lined up.

I got to take my moms out. My girlfriend

already sent me a bouquet of flowers.

And heaven knows what my wife's

got planned for me tonight.

Happy Valentine's Day.

I'll be home early.

Good morning.

Hello.

Kenya.

Kenya!

Leah.

Berte sent these to me today

and I don't know what to do.

This one, I think is gonna make

me look like a fricking cow.

And this one I love...

but I'm gonna have to hold

my stomach in the whole time.

Leah, wear the one you love.

It's your wedding day.

We've got to

get you married.

As my mother would say,

"There is a mensch out there...

"with your name stamped on his

forehead." I'm sure there is.

Who do I know for you? Who?

Leah, don't start.

I've got a big day.

You've always got a big day. Even

on the weekends, you have a big day.

You can't let this job

be your life.

It's not my life.

I have a meeting.

Brian! Tall, hot,

newly single...

architect, really smart.

This is gonna be perfect.

Leah, thanks, but no.

Oh, come on.

I don't do blind dates.

Okay. I'll just add that to the

official list of things Kenya doesn't do.

Which includes, among other

things, sushi, dogs, kayaking...

creepy-crawly things,

and the color red.

Red's definitely not my color.

Jack Pino? Kenya McQueen.

Hello.

Hello.

So, I looked over the letter of intent from

the bankers, and I have a few questions.

Shouldn't we wait?

For?

Well, isn't someone else

coming in?

No. This is it.

I'm the senior manager.

When we get further into the deal I'll

bring someone in to collect documents.

But right now, it's just us.

Personal, one-on-one service.

Okay. Sure.

Four Belvedere Valentinis

for four beautiful ladies.

Thank you.

I wanna make a toast.

Yes.

We may not have everything

we want at the moment...

but we do have each other.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Kenya, this is fabulous.

Okay, let's get down to

business. Where are the brothers?

Yeah, K.

Where's the eye candy?

You got a cute-

Honey...

Okay, Shante.

Oh, my God!

And that is why

The what?

Have never been married.

I read that article. It didn't

say we'd never get married.

It just said we have yet to.

Okay. So when is it gonna

happen? In the afterlife? Please.

Never get married...

that still means

that 57.6 of us will.

And that's a substantially

greater percentage.

Thank you, Miss Numbers

Queen. That's very impressive.

However, those odds

are completely against us.

It says the phenomenon is most

acute among African-American woman...

who are

educated professionals.

Judge, accountant,

banker, pediatrician.

That'd be us.

I'm just tired of being

classified as a victim.

Single black professional woman

destined to be unhappy and alone.

I mean, I just have to keep

believing I'll find the one. True.

I don't even need all that.

I just want a good brother.

That's right.

He doesn't have to make a lot of

money, so long as he's got a job.

Hallelujah.

Yes, yes.

He just has to be taller than me,

college educated, and not crazy.

No kids, good teeth,

and no kinky sex.

I mean, I like to switch it up

a bit, but, you know...

What?

You're doing it again.

The list, Kenya. The list.

You know what? You should have

stayed with Rashid Mohammed.

How can you do

the Muslim chauvinist thing?

Whatever, girl.

Rashid was fine. Okay?

I would have been a bean-pie

eating, mosque-going...

walking five steps behind

his behind, wearing a burka.

Listen, I've been listening to

this new CD by Dr. LaWanda Phillips.

Now, she says that if we keep hanging

onto this preconceived notion...

of what we think we want...

we're actually cutting ourselves

off from our universal abundance.

See, we hold on so tight...

to this image that we have

of our IBM...

"Ideal Black Man."

But she says that

we've got to let go...

in order to let love flow.

In fact that's what it is

called. "Let go, let flow."

That means you, Kenya.

No more lists.

"Let go, let flow."

That's right.

Yes, and it's a whole lot

better than, "Keep hope alive."

Okay, y'all.

Let go, let flow. This

universe is listening.

Perfect, my loves.

Yes.

So, as long as he is

black and fine.

And educated,

well-spoken, with a job.

With

a well-paying job.

You have one new message...

Kenya, it's Rashid.

Happy Valentine's day.

You've been on my mind a lot.

I wanted you to know

that I'm getting married.

Yeah, she is wonderful.

I met her

at a Farrakhan rally.

Kenya, I just really want

you to come to the wedding...

Hello.

Happy

Valentine's day, sweet pea.

You never forget, do you?

Forget my baby girl?

Impossible.

Thanks, Dad.

You sound down. Talk to me.

No, I'm fine.

Everything's great.

Sweet pea.

Don't give up, baby girl.

You know how to make

your dreams come true.

Miss McQueen?

Dr. Brockton,

I didn't see you.

Looking all cute.

Thanks.

Brothers,

this is Kenya McQueen.

So, how's Laurie?

She's fine.

Why don't you sit down

and join us? I can't.

Meeting someone?

Oh, no.

Because a friend of mine went on one of

those Internet blind date things recently.

Watch out. There's some

real stalkers out there.

Right.

Good to see you.

See you.

Nice to meet you, Kenya.

Good to see you.

You wouldn't be waiting

for someone by any chance.

Someone named Brian?

Why?

I'm him. I'm Brian, actually.

Are you Kenya?

Brian... Brian Kelly?

Yeah.

Blind date Brian Kelly?

I'm sorry.

It's that bad, huh?

Obviously, you were expecting

someone else.

No.

Leah described you perfectly.

She's funny.

Well, she said nothing but

great things about you, so...

Should we sit?

Sure.

Let's see if we can find a table. Great.

How you doing, brother?

Magic treating you okay?

Never met him.

They're all taken, so...

Here's one. Just here.

Girl, you are

wearing those dreads.

All right...

Uncomfortable?

No. Why would you say that?

Well, you're talking to strangers,

making sure everyone knows you're down.

So, you ever been

on a blind date before?

My first.

Why'd you do it?

I don't know. I...

promised my girlfriends

I'd be more open.

But not this open.

What?

Nothing.

You know what? It was

really great meeting you...

but I kind of,

need to get going.
