This week on Stakes is High, Jones and TC are catch up to discuss Lizzo's shenanigans at the Staples Center where she attended a game with her butt cheeks exposed.

For example, how long is too long to enjoy Thanksgiving leftovers? Are chitterlings a must-have or a no way? Also, what does it mean to be legendary?

This week on Stakes is High, Jones and TC get into the spirit of family with the holidays approaching. How often do you reach out to your loved ones?

This week on Stakes is High, Jones and TC discuss the Colin Kaepernick workout this past weekend and what it means for his career. If Colin gets picked up by a team, what does that mean for his stance against the NFL? Is all forgiven or will he continue to kneel? With the fiasco around his workout changing locations and missing out on the opportunity to be scouted by a larger amount of NFL teams, some wonder if Colin truly wants to play and if this is all for publicity. Tune in and join the discussion with comments.

This week on Stakes is High, Jones and TC discuss YG and the negative attention he's been receiving for allowing his 3-year-old daughter to identify, hold, and smell a rather large bag of marijuana, which she identified as broccoli. Though marijuana has become legal for recreational use in multiple states, should we still be shielding our children's access to the drug? Also on this episode, our hosts discuss what's considered "too far" when disciplining your child. Would you visit your child's school, pull them from the lunch table by the collar of their shirt, and spank them in front of faculty because of misconduct in the classroom? Even worse, would you record the encounter and then post it online? Warning, CPS can see you! Tune in and join the discussion with comments.
