June 23, 2026 Shawn the Dealer (June 23, 2025)
A Waymo hits a 10-year-old in a Santa Monica school zone — and they're still pro-robot driver. The case gets made that a distracted human is way more dangerous than an autonomous car.

June 09, 2026 Dallas Model Ari on Building a Brand, Bad Teslas & Mambo Taxis (June 9, 2026)
Dallas model Ari stops by the studio and she's got a lot going on — a decade in modeling, big plans for acting and content creation, and a near-death experience involving a press-on nail. She talks getting scouted at an airport at 14, building a personal brand, and why she's just now starting to take it all seriously. Plus, the group holds a mostly unenthusiastic memorial for Spirit Airlines and debates self-driving cars after Ari's terrifying run-in with a wonky Dallas lane. Get more show at MZNOW

May 26, 2026 How RJ Went from Rudolph Understudy to Shonda Rhimes' Writers Room (May 26, 2026)
R Jay (Ricki Junior) stops by — a Dallas-born actor, writer, director, and producer who got his start in a writers' room after a college professor accused him of plagiarizing work that closely resembled scripts from Grey's Anatomy — which led to a meeting with Shonda Rhimes herself. R Jay breaks down how TV writers' rooms actually work, shares how dyslexia shaped his creative journey, and reveals he was a Gerber baby. Plus, a quick round of rapid-fire questions, a zodiac sign debate, and Bri's legendary burping talent gets another shoutout. Get more show at MZNOW
