Episode 48 features Ashanti; actress, YouTuber, writer, and the most passionate hockey fan you'll ever meet. We dive deep into "Heated Rivalries," the gay hockey romance show taking over the internet, debate whether the actors are actually dating, and break down why Hudson Williams is absolutely a bottom.

Ashanti walks us through her hockey obsession, from NHL teams to the 2026 Olympics figure skating drama (shout out Alyssa Liu). We also get into a country music debate after she names Kelsea Ballerini and Gracie Abrams as her favorite artists, discuss why 22-episode TV seasons had too much filler (One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy, Teen Wolf), and argue about whether Cheetah Girls 3 is actually good (Ashanti says yes, the soundtrack slaps).

Plus: Drag Race Season 12 recommendations, single mom appreciation, Justin Bieber's Coachella performance, and Ashanti's hot take that men suck. This episode gets heated in the best way.
