Bassey & Mike open with weather swings and sick-day vibes, then celebrate Ellington’s undefeated run and Catholic University’s conference championship—using that moment to unpack what every parent really wants for their kids: to be considered, valued, and included. From there, they dive into culture: Outkast’s Rock Hall tribute (Tyler, The Creator = perfect; Doja Cat… not so much), André 3000’s honest anxiety, and a sober look at Kanye’s apology—can accountability and mental health coexist with public harm?
The episode closes with a parenting riff on how schools can either build or break confidence in Black kids. Plus, a classic “the government cut our internet” technical-difficulty cameo.
