RealityCheck Chronicles: Episode 4 – “Fish Fry & Funky Feelings”

By Antoinette Johnson

INT. HOLLYWOOD BUNGALOW – ANT’S SKIT STUDIO – DAY

Antoinette stands in front of a sign that reads:

> “RealityCheck Skits & Scripts: Healing Hearts Through Comedy & Chaos.”

She’s filming her latest skit about toxic men and tofu when…

REEK THA REDEMPTION busts in wearing a “Healing Is Hood Too” hoodie.

REEK:
Yo Ant! I heard you opened a healing biz and dropped your own coin?

ANT (smiling):
Yep. It’s called RC Coin. RealityCheck crypto — for folks who invest in themselves. Not in B.S.

REEK:
That’s powerful, queen… but why I find out on TikTok? You ain’t hit me up?

ANT:
You was too busy flirting with Keisha Cole and acting like you got a book deal with Oprah.

BOOM — DOOR FLIES OPEN

BIG TANK slides in, wearing fake Balenciagas, dripping in borrowed chains and hate.

BIG TANK:
Crypto? Skits? Healing?! Girl, you left the team for tofu and therapy?

ANT:
I didn’t leave — y’all just ain’t leveling up.

BIG TANK (pointing at Reek):
And YOU out here acting like you deep. You ain’t poetic, you just poor with bars.

REEK:
At least I ain’t selling dreams off a barbershop WiFi connection, Tank!

THEY GET IN EACH OTHER’S FACES.

BIG TANK:
I get more women than you!
REEK:
No, you get more baby mamas than me!

BIG TANK:
I got more money!
REEK:
No, you got more loans!

ANT (rolling eyes):
Y’all both actin’ like y’all been drinkin’ expired Casamigos.

REEK & TANK (together):
Stay out of this, Ant!

ANT (clapping hands):
Oh really?! But when y’all needed a ride, food, and therapy with punchlines, who was there?!
I made a skit about your cheating habits, Tank! It went viral!
And Reek, I turned your prison poems into merch!

ENTER: SMOKEY SQUAREZ & MIKE EPPS
Mike pulls up in a seafood truck called “Snapper & Sass.”

MIKE EPPS:
I heard y’all beefin’ and she don’t even eat beef. Queen only eats snapper and kingfish. Y’all out here acting like fried tilapia.

SMOKEY SQUAREZ (eating shrimp):
Y’all better stop before Ant turns this whole fight into a 3-part BET+ special.

BIG TANK (grumbling):
Man, she just tryna control the industry on the low…

REEK:
Nah. She SAVING it. While y’all out here chasing clout, she out here feeding souls — and fish.

ANT (smirking):
Exactly. Now both of y’all either get on board or stay in the blooper reel.

FINAL SHOT:

Ant walks off into the sunset, holding a red snapper taco and her iPad with the RC Coin logo. Mike Epps and Smokey Squarez walk behind her, singing a ratchet gospel remix:

> “She don’t need meat, she bringin’ the heat, RealityCheck got Hollywood on they feet!”
