About this episode

Ever wondered what are the worst places for a first date? We're here to help! We're putting the infamous online list of refused first date locations under the microscope, and challenging the idea that a first date should revolve around food. Whether it's a trip to the Cheesecake Factory or a movie night, we're asking: should you be focusing more on your date's interests to make a lasting impression?

Switching gears, we're also diving into the world of hip-hop. From the 'bad boy' allure to the seemingly overlooked 'nice guys', we're examining the stereotypes and expectations in this industry. We're even listing our top five 'nice guys' in hip-hop. Plus, we're discussing Lauren Hill's record-breaking concert and what it means for female rappers in the industry. And speaking of representation, we're tackling the recent controversy around Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's wax statue. Is it whitewashed? And why do wax museums often miss the mark when it comes to accurately representing people of color?

Wrapping up, we're digging into the intricacies of creating wax figures that accurately represent skin color. With a broad spectrum of colors to consider, why do sculptors get it wrong? We're calling for more communication between the creators and their subjects to ensure accuracy. Join us as we challenge norms and dive into these riveting discussions. Whether it's about dating, hip-hop, or wax figure representation, we're ready to shake things up. Buckle up, it's going to be an enlightening ride.
