Go on ahead and invite us into your house please, the 2 Broke Twimbos are back again with something new new. Dan & Phil take a sombre moment to address some of the tragedies that seem to be coming thick and fast these days, like the Air India flight crash or the floods in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. But the show does go on, the pair review the BET Awards and share some real talk about Madam Boss's presence there. They also talk Timbaland starting A-Pop (look it up) and AI when it comes to creative content in general. TLDR: We're cooked. Oh, and Sinners, and Mountainhead and loads of stuff, enjoy!
