  • Episode 126 - Meltdowns & Letdowns
    “It Seems Like You’re Ready” for Justin & Maurice to dissect Gayle King’s interview with Robert.
    People want to ban Michael Jackson’s music and it makes the hosts wanna “Scream”.
    JLo’s “Love Dont Cost a Thing” but her FIFTH engagement ring is reportedly worth up to $5M, and it’s “A No No” to even think about areas in which she has Mariah beat.
    No one seemed to “Think” about the “Chain of Fools” who “United Together” to perform at the Aretha tribute special. Our Queen’s “Spirit in the Dark” deserves much more “Respect” than that! Next time, “Call Me”!

  • Episode 121 - 21 Hunnit
    Category Is... turns 21 by keepin’ it all the way 100 !
    The show is officially of legal drinking age! So after pouring some out for the homies who ain't here, Justin & Maurice can finally have a glass ... ok, a bottle of wine.
    Neither host watched the Super Bowl (for very different reasons) so all they can critique are commercials, “costumes”, and colored contact lenses.
    The hosts take a deep dive into the intersectionality of Jussie Smollett’s attack. Some controversial CSI (and Grindr) theories question when to risk it all for a cold cut combo. In honor of Black History Month, The People find out just how British Maurice and 21 Savage are.
    ISWIS is a lesson in language skills.
    10s for someone who talks alot but... is she really saying anything? Put in your Apple AirPods to listen in.

    The hosts disagree on how to handle a listener letter about workplace conflict. But they finally agree on a common ISWIS.

    Gladys Knight is on the Midnight Train to Georgia to pick up her NFL check. Travis Scott did half a Xan before agreeing to perform with Maroon 5. After turning down the 2004 halftime show that led to Janet's infamous #wardrobemalfunction, Big Boi from OutKast says "I'm sorry, Ms. Jackson".
