Tony, Tay, Reese, Kiyon, and Bre sit down for a raw, high-energy conversation that touches on culture, hip-hop, and the way social media fuels division. What starts as discussion quickly turns heated as the group debates how “pick me” culture has reshaped conversations between women and how easily opinions turn into judgment online.

They dig into the viral moment where Jay-Z’s name was allegedly linked to the Epstein files, questioning why his name spreads so fast, why blogs rushed to post and then delete it, and whether there’s an obsession with tearing down his legacy rather than seeking truth.

New Year, Same Us.

After taking three weeks off to reset, Tony, Kiyon, Reese, and Tay link back up for an honest mental health check and a real conversation about New Year’s goals—what they’re trying to elevate and what they’re standing ten toes on. The crew talks dating in today’s era, expectations vs. reality, and how social media keeps shifting the rules. They also break down the recent controversies surrounding Doechii and Adin Ross, react to Glasses Malone’s response, and give their unfiltered thoughts on the Ravens firing their head coach. To wrap it up, they touch on the recent separation of the Scotts and what it says about relationships, growth, and pressure in the public eye. No scripts, no pandering—just real talk, real perspectives, and the same energy as always.
