From world war rumors to Vogue shaking up the front row, this episode is a rollercoaster. Zohran Mamdani just made history in NYC's mayoral race and folks are pressed, People are using AI to push stereotypes. Companies are robbing us in broad daylight, and the medical system continues to fail Black women (this time in Georgia with a horrifying case). Meanwhile, Anna Wintour finally takes her bob and glasses and exits Vogue—but who's snatching the throne? Justin Bieber keeps crashing out, Simon Guobadia was deported but is living life in Dubai, Cardi B says September is finally the month (again), and a tragic influencer story leaves us speechless. Rico Love allegedly accepting $3k for some… extracurricular activities with Diddy. $3k? That can't even cover rent in NYC.

It’s Pride Month, and while the world’s out here voguing, Elon Musk and Trump are busy pulling each other’s wigs. I share my thoughts on the L.A. protest against ICE, break down the tight NYC mayoral race, and side-eye Kai Cenat for not knowing who Wale is (???). Plus: BET Awards, a breaking strike, and a PSA on why I don’t mess with Virgos—y’all know why.

Muni Long got real bold calling out fans even though her music catalog isn’t exactly platinum.

This week’s episode is giving global chaos with a side of glitter. We’ve got an American Pope, but will he finally address the mess in the church? Skims co-founder Emma Grede is catching heat for saying work-life balance is your problem, not your boss’s. Tariffs are making holiday shopping feel like a luxury sport, Beyoncé is slaying the stage on her Cowboy Carter tour (as she should), and the Met Gala gave everything—except Doechii might’ve shaded her staff. Diddy’s legal team allegedly wants no women on the jury (gee, wonder why), Another dating coach exposed for using his “game” to finesse his audience and a listener sent tea about a GoFundMe-funded Nigerian wedding that… well… didn’t quite fund. Grab a snack, it’s messy.

In this episode, I talk about how rejection might just be redirection, the return of student loans and Uncle Sam threatening to snatch your check real quick, and the Catholic Church entering its next era—could it be time for a Black Pope? Kevin Gates needs to worry less about LeBron’s marriage and more about his own entanglements, influencers have added “Jesus” to their brand kit, and Florida continues to Florida with a woman impersonating ICE to kidnap her ex’s new wife (yes, for real). We also cover Gilbert Arenas’ son’s tragic Cybertruck accident, Joe Dwet File’s legal drama with someone mad their song got no streams, Tyla catching heat from Britney’s fanbase, and Shannon Sharpe’s scandal just got way too dark. Let’s unpack the mess.

In this week’s episode, we’re talking doors closing, prices rising, and common sense disappearing. From Shein and Temu playing the tariff game (as if the quality was ever worth it), to luxury brands getting exposed by China for basically AliExpress-ing us all. We also unpack people taking out payment plans to stand in the desert at Coachella, and Zeus Network stars are learning that reality TV fame doesn’t translate to Hollywood fame. Plus, a serious turn with the FSU shooting and Luigi Mangione’s charges in the unaliving of a healthcare CEO. Oh, and Kash Doll out here wiping her nose with a $20 like it's Kleenex—because flex culture is getting weird and won’t survive the next decade.

This week’s episode is a wild ride through chaos, controversy, and a little bit of capitalism. We’re talking about the looming tariff drama that could make your next shopping trip a little more expensive (ugh, not the retail therapy tax!), a tragic roof collapse in the Dominican Republic (RIP to the victims — sending love and prayers), and the Zeus Network getting dragged through the mud (finally, right?). Plus, Anthony Edwards' baby momma saga hits a new level of messy, Terrence Howard claims Diddy tried to shoot his shot (?!), and yet another celebrity is throwing their hat into the presidential ring. Can we not? Grab your snacks, your tea, and maybe a helmet.

This week, we’re diving into a little bit of everything—so buckle up! First off, the power of the tongue is real, and some of y’all are out here manifesting L’s instead of wins (might be time to speak nicer to yourself, bestie). Meanwhile, folks attacking Tesla dealerships are now being labeled as hate crimes. Kanye is spiraling (again), and at this point, it’s like watching a rerun nobody asked for. But on a sweeter note, Normani and DK Metcalf are engaged, and Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good just tied the knot—love is clearly in the air, and wedding season is working overtime! On the flip side, Jess Hilarious had some words for The Breakfast Club, reminding everyone that even when you’re the talent, the corporate machine still owns the stage. Let’s get into it!
