The show continued to cover various celebrity legal troubles and scandals, including Javonte Davis, whose recent arrest for domestic violence brought forth a discussion on accountability in the boxing community. As Auntie Derek succinctly put it, “You better get somewhere and beat your meat or don’t be putting your hands on nobody.” The commentary was punctuated with laughter, but also highlighted the serious nature of domestic violence.

Auntie Derek also provided updates on celebrities like Ray J, who shared heartfelt concerns about his health, and Nicki Minaj, who announced her new citizenship status while expressing her support for Donald Trump, leading the hosts to ponder over her unexpected political pivot.

Towards the end, the group discussed the induction of popular films like *The Incredibles* and *Clueless* into the National Film Registry, highlighting their cultural significance while leaving room for scrutiny on the criteria for selection. “I’m confused,” said Auntie Derek, reflecting the group’s sentiments as they noted the range of films represented in the registry.
