  • BONUS EPISODE: Did We Learn Nothing from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar Beef?
    May 17 2024

    What made Marjorie Taylor Green think she could come for Rep Jasmine Crockett and survive? Did we learn nothing from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef? *sigh* In this bonus episode, we talk about our experiences with people writing checks their 🍑 can't cash, and getting publicly eviscerated.

    We mention a very funny human that you should check out online and in person. Here is his Instagram - Maronzio Vance Instagram

    We know him as Don's former roommate who proved that you don't have to be a celebrity to be roasted for two-hours straight. You know him as an actor and comedian who has starred alongside George Lopez, and written for some of your favorite shows. If you get a chance to see him live, do that.
