In this episode, we’re diving into the chaos: the stock market is in shambles, a recession and government shutdown might be knocking on our doors, and Trump is out here trying to demolish the Department of Education—so what’s gonna happen to our student loans?? Meanwhile, Tesla owners are losing their minds.

We also gotta talk about influencers—one just got arrested for unaliving someone while drunk driving, while others are suddenly turning to religion for a rebrand. Tory Lanez dropped a new album, but did he convince listeners? Wendy Williams updates continue with the #FreeWendy movement, and let’s break the myth that all musicians are rich (spoiler: they’re not). Oh, and Jay-Z just hit Tony Buzzbee and the alleged victim with a defamation lawsuit.
