The crew also dives deep into the hottest and most controversial topics in culture. We're breaking down the Arnold Schwarzenegger scandal you forgot about, Matt Lauer's secret office button, and the spectacular fall of hip-hop mogul Dame Dash. Is he a misunderstood genius or just stuck in the past?

Plus, we get into LeBron James's questionable appearance on Kai Cenat's stream, the ongoing beef between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, and why R. Kelly, despite his crimes, is still a musical genius.
