From viral creativity to national controversy, today’s episode takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride through culture, parenting, and power. 
The show opens with the feel‑good story of a young Black content creator whose homemade “Dr Pepper, baby, it’s good and nice” jingle exploded on TikTok, racking up more than 25–40 million views depending on the platform, eventually landing her an official commercial spot during the College Football Playoff National Championship. Dr Pepper licensed the jingle, credited creator Romeo Bingham (@romeosshow), and is now working with her on future content — a major win for organic Black creativity in advertising.  
The show then pivots to the heated “Question of the Day” — whether a viral video showing Alabama teacher Randi Nicole Staples hitting her 12‑year‑old son with a belt constitutes child abuse or tough parenting. In the widely reported clip, she delivers more than 20 strikes, yanks him by the hair, and unleashes profanity, leading to her arrest and firing from Cottage Hill Christian Academy. Law enforcement officials publicly labeled the behavior “repulsive” and clearly beyond parental discipline, while callers on the show debate generational norms, trauma, and how anger complicates corporal punishment.  

The episode also digs into a high‑stakes legal showdown with national implications. 
The U.S. Supreme Court appears poised to side with Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, signaling skepticism toward former President Trump’s attempt to fire her over unproven mortgage‑fraud allegations. Justices across the ideological spectrum questioned the constitutionality of removing a Fed governor without due process, warning that allowing such power could “shatter the independence of the Federal Reserve.” Cook, the first Black woman to hold the role, continues serving while litigation proceeds.  
Finally, Jasmine Sanders closes with her “Top 5” — Five Signs You’re a High‑Level Thinker — highlighting traits such as inquisitiveness, attention to unconventional ideas, and the ability to challenge personal biases. These signs echo broader psychological research that describes high‑level thinkers as reflective, curious, and skilled at spotting patterns others miss.
