  Ep. #414: The TEN FOR TEN Challenge Is HERE! Ten R&B Songs For Ten Years 10.09.2026 58min

  Mrs. Fruit is hurting, Ed is investigating, and somehow a conversation about back pain turns into a deep dive on Puerto Ricans, the N-word, and whether “Things Your Man Won’t Do” is actually a love song or just a certified HATER anthem. 😂 Ed Lover and Vanessa “Mrs. Fruit” are back for another unfiltered episode of C’Mon Son! The Podcast, kicking things off with Mrs. Fruit confessing that her back is JACKED UP. Naturally, Ed needs answers — because according to him, she’s been entirely too active lately. The two compare notes on their respective back problems before the conversation takes a sharp turn into the controversy surrounding Fat Joe and the question: Can Puerto Ricans say the N-word? Mrs. Fruit has THOUGHTS — including her declaration that PUERTO RICANS ARE BLACK PEOPLE! — and Ed and Fruit break down the conversation from their own perspectives. Then it’s time for the debut of TEN FOR TEN, a new recurring C’Mon Son! challenge created by Ed Lover. The rules? You get something amazing — like $10 billion — BUT you have to choose TEN of something and live with those ten choices for TEN YEARS. No switching. No cheating. No sneaking in a new favorite when the mood hits. 😂 This week’s challenge: TEN R&B SONGS FOR TEN YEARS. Fruit has to lock in her ultimate 10-song R&B playlist, and the choices include Joe’s Things Your Man Won’t Do, Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, Musiq Soulchild’s Halfcrazy, Mary J. Blige’s All I Can Say, After 7’s Ready or Not and MORE. But can you really live with ONLY ten R&B songs for a decade?! Press play and find out what made the cut — and decide whether Ed is right that Things Your Man Won’t Do is really a LOVE song… or just a HATER song. 😂 C’MON SON!

  Ep.#413: Scamming and Other Things 03.09.2026 51min

  C’MON SON! The Podcast with Ed Lover & Mrs. Fruit is back—and this one goes EVERYWHERE! Ed and Fruit are talking date nights, marriage, friendship, getting older, menopause, testosterone, social-media scams, Tupac, Donald Trump, Michelle Obama—and somehow it all makes sense! 😂 The episode kicks off with Ed and Fruit recapping their luxury dinner date at home, complete with great food and wine, and making the case for bringing date night IN. With the cost of pretty much everything going up, why not grocery shop, cook something sexy, pour a good bottle of wine, and enjoy each other at home? Then Ed and Fruit get REAL about life after 40 and 50. From what Ed jokingly calls “OBT”—Old Bitch Talk—to menopause, declining testosterone, erectile dysfunction, mental health, and the natural changes that happen to both men and women, they have an honest and surprisingly educational conversation about aging, intimacy, and supporting your partner through it all. And then… Ed goes down the social-media rabbit hole. 😂 From fake identities and fake kidnappings to fake doctors and a fake ASL interpreter, Ed runs through some of the wildest scams and scandals that have made headlines. Ed also gets serious while discussing Duane “Keffe D” Davis and the case surrounding Tupac Shakur’s murder, before somehow finding his way back to Donald Trump—and a discussion about why Ed and Fruit think Michelle Obama is the most attractive First Lady of all time. 👀 Plus, Ed teases a potential VIRAL moment coming from him soon. You already know you’re going to want to stay connected for that one! Another episode. Another wild ride. C’MON SON!

Ed and Fruit weigh in on Serayah and Joey Bada$$, following news of their engagement and relationship coming to an end. Ed questions the decision to take personal relationship business to social media, while Mrs. Fruit comes to Serayah’s defense. That conversation leads Ed and Fruit into a much bigger discussion about relationships, infidelity, polygamy, and the importance of being upfront about your relationship expectations from the jump. Next up, Sydney Starr is back in the conversation as Ed revisits the controversy surrounding Sydney and Chingy, including the impact the allegations had on Chingy’s career. Ed and Fruit also tackle a broader conversation about sexuality, transgender acceptance, and the evolving culture of hip-hop. And finally, it’s time to bring back “Lose One!” Ed and Fruit have to choose between two legendary options and say goodbye to one forever. This week’s matchups include MLK vs. Malcolm X, Seafood vs. Chinese Food, Mike Tyson vs. Muhammad Ali, Jay-Z vs. Kanye West, Cedric the Entertainer vs. Steve Harvey, and plenty more!
