We know we’ve been a little M.I.A. for the last two weeks—honestly, life just started "lifing"—but we’re making it up to you today with two back-to-back acts of pure tea, culture, and deep dives.

ACT 1

• Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Takeover: We break down the historic, Puerto Rican-infused halftime show at Levi's Stadium. From the sugarcane fields on stage to that surprise Lady Gaga appearance, was it the best show of the decade?
• Sherri Shepherd Breaks Her Silence: After the shocking news that her talk show Sherri is ending after four seasons, we discuss her "Shepherds of Chicago" spirit and what’s next for the daytime queen.
• Remembering James Van Der Beek: A heartfelt tribute to the Dawson's Creek star following his passing at 48 after a brave battle with colorectal cancer.
• The AI Classroom: We get serious about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence in schools—is it an educational tool or a threat to critical thinking?
• Cardi B vs. DHS: The internet is buzzing over Cardi’s "government-blaming" stage fall and her spicy back-and-forth with the Department of Homeland Security.
• Black Fatigue: A raw conversation on the mental and emotional exhaustion of navigating the current cultural climate.

ACT 2

• Ray J’s "Bleeding Eyes": We discuss the viral (and slightly terrifying) Valentine’s Day performance that has everyone asking: is it performance art or a real health scare?
• The 3LW That Almost Was: Adrienne Bailon-Houghton recently revealed that country star Mickey Guyton was actually the original third member before Naturi Naughton. We imagine what "No More" would have sounded like with Mickey’s vocals!
• Whoopi Goldberg & The Epstein Files: Whoopi sets the record straight on The View regarding her name appearing in the recently released documents.
• ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: This segment involves discussions of the Jeffrey Epstein case. If you feel uncomfortable, please skip to the timestamp below (00:54:39)
• Tiffany Richardson Tells All: The ANTM legend (yes, the one Tyra was "rooting for") speaks out on the recent Netflix docuseries, her son's tragic passing, and why she calls Tyra a "bully."
• David Archuleta’s Hidden Struggle: We dive into David’s new memoir, Devout, detailing his journey leaving the Mormon Church and finding his identity.
• Throwback Moment (2013): We’re taking it back to the VMA performance that shifted the culture forever: Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, and the "twerk" seen 'round the world.
