Mero, Mia Bell, Kaz, Shani Culture and DJ Kast One kick off Monday with Hip Hop Jeopardy, putting callers to the test with East Coast hip hop, R&B and Southern hip hop questions. The crew also debates whether it’s harder to find love after 35, with one caller suggesting arranged marriages for people over 30. Later, Mero and the crew discuss the Insecure 10-year anniversary celebrations and Amanda Seales being left out of the reunions, including her comments about having to be her own biggest cheerleader.
