They discuss the emergence of the viral phrase "Bring Ya Ass" in Minnesota, generalize the four coasts of America, and confront (or embrace?) stereotypes. Sembo also compares the stars of his NBA team, the Celtics, and American Asian men (yes, really.). Additionally, they introduce a new segment called Tiger Mom's Den, where they share valuable parenting advice, delve into the issue of phone addiction, and emphasize the importance of consistent excellence through their Fortune Cookie segment.
