The session kicked off with a celebratory nod to the birthday of a beloved Barbadian star, tapping into the zodiac's rich lore. Auntie Derek quipped, “They say in with a bang, and you know Pisces are the last in the zodiac calendar, so hey!” This lighthearted banter set the stage for an engaging episode.
In the spirit of Black History Month, Auntie Derek honored childhood friend Deanna Washington, a heroic bus driver celebrated for saving 28 students during a fire. “Not all superheroes wear capes,” Auntie Derek proclaimed, sharing touching anecdotes that illustrated the importance of community and selflessness—a theme that resonated throughout the session.

The hosts displayed their trademark wit, with one quipping, “First of all, why are we doing this?” This lightened the mood while addressing the sometimes absurd nature of celebrity culture.
In a nod to how public figures navigate personal turmoil, the recent uproar surrounding Teddy Riley's comments about R. Kelly sparked a passionate discussion.
