It's a brand-new episode of #TheShop! Steelo and Travis are joined by comedians Jo Koy and Bresha Webb, along with R&B artist Tank, for a wide-ranging conversation about relationships, dating, fame, ambition, and “sleep-negative households”…hmmm.

The group dives into the acceptable and unacceptable types of public displays of affection (PDA), how growing fame can sometimes come at the cost of relationships, the unwritten rules of the bro code, and why hustle culture continues to shape the way we live and work today.

This week, it’s a family affair at #TheShop. Steelo Brim and Travis Bennett are joined by Syd—Travis’s sister, the acclaimed artist and co-founder of The Internet—for their first-ever sit-down conversation together. They run back what their life on tour was like during their days with Odd Future. NLE Choppa also pulls up to reflect on the spiritual awakening that led him to be baptized again. They unpack how dramatically technology has changed in a single generation— the wild reality of being a celebrity in the internet era. And they get deep on how mental health affects every part of life, and the unsettling feeling of realizing you might be a little too high.
