LisaRaye is calling out Yung Miami, and the crew gets into the latest celebrity drama, internet reactions, and why some OGs have absolutely no problem saying what’s on their minds. Mero and the crew keep it raw as they break down the conversation and everything surrounding it.

Mero also opens up about getting older and how your guilty pleasures get guiltier, from late-night cereal and fast food to realizing your body doesn’t recover like it used to. The crew also talks Russell Westbrook’s retirement, Lionel Richie throwing shots at Chris Brown, and legendary figures who eventually stopped filtering themselves.

The conversation keeps moving through social media clapbacks, NYC politics, daycare costs, and Mero’s son’s basketball game as the crew jokes about Gen Alpha being allergic to the paint and obsessed with shooting threes.

Then it’s time for Hip Hop Jeopardy, putting the Tri-State’s hip-hop knowledge to the test before the crew gets into the greatest hip-hop beats of all time.
