  • What Are Your Cross Streets?
    Happy TBU Thursday! 
    We are back and LIVE! It feels so amazing to be in the studio with one another cooking up the magic y'all all know and love.

  • Pop That Boochie
    Happy #TBUthursday!
    This week we get into people's irrational obsession with incorporating Hennessy into every possible thing they consume, Nick Cannon, poppin' boochie during what should be considered a special moment, and so much more throughout the show. 
    Our Under Our Umbrella topic deals with an untraditional take on proposals. Would you rather open up a box to find a ring or a slip of paper saying "I paid off your $70K student loan debt, will you marry me?"
