It’s one of those episodes where pop culture, parenting, and global politics all collide. The show celebrates a major win for Victoria Monét, who officially graduated from culinary school while still recording new music—something she’s described as a lifelong dream rooted in family, culture, and bringing people together through food. The conversation then shifts to hip‑hop history as Dame Dash addresses long‑standing rumors involving Beyoncé, making it clear in a recent interview that he never pursued her because he first met her as a teenager and always viewed her as a kid, while acknowledging a different vibe when it came to Kelly Rowland.  

The crew also weighs in on parenting and privilege after Charlize Theron revealed she expects her children to work regular jobs, earn their own money, and avoid growing up entitled despite her wealth—sparking debate online over celebrity parenting and independence. On the news front, attention turns overseas as Donald Trump announces a pause on Project Freedom, the U.S. military effort meant to escort commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing progress in negotiations with Iran—while critics point out the economic and geopolitical ripple effects tied to oil prices and global trade
