On this very special episode of BANTS!, Justin is lucky enough to be joined by Peabody and Emmy award-winning journalist, Hoda Kotb, as she picks his brain on the film, Joker: Folie à Deux. It should be noted Hoda was suffering from a cold which is why her voice is so very deep. But before Hoda, Geoff and Justin discuss the ongoing and dark developments in the Diddy scandal, Luke Bryan’s ice cold take on Beyoncé's rejection by the Country Music Establishment, and Charli’s Brat remix album. Also mentioned: Taylor Swift, Jay Z, Justin Bieber, Sixpence None the Richer, LISA, BLACKPINK, googly eyes, and Ariana Grande.
