May 08, 2023 Ep 261. To Drive? Or Own The Bus? That Is The Question.
In this week's episode, Shanti prepares for a busy season with The Sable Collective while Antoinette grapples with her offbeat social awkwardness that seems to be in direct conflict with her online persona.

We curse Brian Mcknight tf out, celebrate Missy Elliot, show compassion for Da Brat, and ponder the age-old question that continues to rack the hearts and minds of modern civilization - "Would you date a man who drives a bus?"
