Corrie shares her firsthand experience from the show, while the crew unpacks Vivica Fox’s viral comments about dating rappers, Omarion’s response to Mario, NLE Choppa’s subliminals at NBA YoungBoy, and the Gold’s Gym locker room controversy involving Tish Hyman. It’s celebrity headlines, cultural hot takes, and plenty of laughs all in one episode.

J. Ryan sits down with James Davis and Norm Nixon for a funny, sharp, and refreshingly honest conversation about what it really means to “make it” in today’s world. They talk about how social media isn’t real life, how people confuse online perception with real success, and why Hollywood’s obsession with clout has changed how creators move. From comedy and culture to mental health, money, and maturity, James and Norm break down how they’ve learned to stay grounded in an industry that rewards pretending. It’s laughter, truth, and a little tough love - because somebody had to say it.

J. Ryan is joined by Alan Christopher and Isaiah Joseph for a hilarious and surprisingly deep conversation about faith, fame, and cultural credibility. The trio dives into what it really means to “lose your Black card,” how growing up in the church shaped their confidence, and why returning to their roots is hitting different now. They unpack celebrity PR stunts—from J. Lo’s staged moments to Hollywood’s obsession with controlling the narrative—and share how they’ve learned to stay grounded while chasing their next big move. It’s witty, honest, and full of unexpected perspective.

J. Ryan sits down with entrepreneur, influencer, and mom of three Heather Sanders for an unfiltered, emotional, and surprisingly funny conversation about confidence, growth, and second chances.

She shares how her husband helped her rebuild her confidence, how she made peace with Blac Chyna, and what it takes to do it all—and do it well. Plus, the two dive into first kisses, bad breath encounters, and what it really means to step back into the spotlight stronger than ever.
