Welcome back to another episode of the MSR Pod! This week the crew dives into the viral trend of over-the-top prom send-offs and asks the big question: is this harmless fun and celebration… or are parents taking things way too far?

We break down the extravagant prom culture taking over social media, the pressure it creates, and what it says about parenting, status, and today’s culture.

We also officially debut our brand-new segment “Aye Young,” where we unpack the ongoing Cheyenne Bryant controversy and discuss the internet reactions surrounding the conversation.

Later in the episode, we react to Mayor Bowser getting booed at Howard University, discuss what may have caused the backlash, and close things out with another Millennial Moment of the Week.

Episode 45 of the MSR Pod is packed with real conversations about culture, parenting, relationships, music, fashion, and the millennial experience. This week, the crew breaks down the growing conversation around “toxic parenting,” the rumored end of Love & Hip Hop, the cultural impact of the Met Gala, and our “Millennial Moment of the Week.”
