As the discussion turned to their personal lives, Derek expressed excitement for the upcoming episode of "RuPaul's Drag Race," countering the notion of oversaturation in drag culture by affirming, “I’m the one that’s gonna sit there for every single episode.” This enthusiasm resonated with listeners, emphasizing the importance of live entertainment experiences, which Derek recounted from attending a drag show in Las Vegas with his daughter.
From lively anecdotes, the conversation swiftly transitioned to some "hot tea" on trending stories starting with A$AP Rocky's assault trial. The hosts dissected the implications of his rejecting a plea deal—an alleged seven-year suspended sentence—to protect his career, debating the potential outcomes of the trial. Derek quipped, "I know how it's going to play out, hun. His—expletive—is going to jail." This bold assertion provoked laughter but also sparked contemplative discussion on the legal system's handling of high-profile cases, particularly with reference to the jury’s lack of diversity.

Derek found humor in his awkward advice on infidelity while acknowledging the complexities within their family dynamics. "I disagree. It has everything to do with the grandbaby," he noted, voicing skepticism toward Benzino’s comments meaningfully.

They both agreed on the importance of prioritizing education over entertainment. Ty echoed Reid’s sentiments: "Keep doing your thing, girl," offering support for the young actress's decision.
Engaging the audience with a mixture of humor, insightful commentary, and informal banter, Derek and Ty also highlighted the absurdities of life, including bizarre headlines about a man whose penis got stuck to an icy sidewalk in Canada, a story that captivated listeners with both laughter and disbelief.
