** This episode includes discussion of SA .

Joy Taylor, Hayley and Spex take on a heavy week of news. First up is the Cornell 7 lawsuit. A former student is suing the university, a fraternity and seven current or former members over an alleged 2024 assault. That leads into a deeper conversation about victim blaming, institutional failure, the 57 men in the group chat who did nothing, and what parents of boys need to be teaching at home. Joy looks back on the buddy-system rules she and her friends lived by in college 20+ years ago, and why nothing has changed.

Then the crew reacts to Nicki Minaj's Fox interview with Lara Trump and her comments on Democrats and pop culture. That turns into a real-talk plea ahead of the midterms: register, research your ballot, ask questions, and stop taking political cues from celebrities.

 Plus, this week's Would You Rather: expose your search history or your camera roll? It goes exactly where you think it goes.

The Cornell 7, Nicki Minaj's Fox Interview, and Who's Hiding What in Their Camera Roll

Joy Taylor is on the road, and she and Hayley have a lot to get into.

First up: actor Da'Vinchi's viral sit-down with Cam Newton on Funky Friday. The BMF star said people in higher positions can't trust the American work ethic and agreed there's a stigma about how people from the Caribbean, Africa and the UK view Black Americans. Joy had never heard of him before this interview, and she has thoughts: he was born and raised in Brooklyn, he's paid to play Black American characters, and for her the whole conversation comes back to one thing, proximity to whiteness.

Then Joy and Hayley react to President Trump's comments about Los Angeles and San Diego at his Nebraska rally, the crowd that cheered, and why Joy says these midterms matter more than ever.

Plus: Savannah James and her best friend April McDaniel have the internet arguing about plane seats. Joy explains the real difference between business and first class, why money boundaries keep friendships alive, and what she learned the hard way about people who expect you to pay.

Also: Dara is the GOAT. The scene from The Drop: A Snowfall Saga that has everyone talking about yearning, and why Joy says you will never catch her doing it. (Spoilers ahead.)

And in Personally, Would You Rather: win the lottery, or get three wishes from a genie that can't involve money?

Joy Taylor sits down with her friend O'Shea Jackson Jr. for a no-holds-barred conversation on nepotism, Hollywood, and the Lakers. O'Shea opens up about the years he spent training to land his father's role in Straight Outta Compton, the backlash that followed, and why he's done letting the "nepo baby" label bother him. He also explains why he negotiates his way out of on-screen deaths, how the strikes and AI pushed him toward writing and producing, and what fans can expect from Den of Thieves 3. Plus: LeBron's exit from LA, the Destiny's Child lyric debate, Joy's honorary doctorate, and O'Shea's new raunchy road trip comedy, Idiots.
