  • Summary

  • The first platinum-selling Hip Hop artist in the U.S. to win elected office – The Honorable Dupré L. Kelly –slides through to talk about governing where he grew up in Newark, NJ, after selling millions of records with the group Lords Of The Underground. (Back when he was known as ‘DoItAll’). He also breaks down the early days of the east coast hip-hop scene and how New Jersey is often left out of the conversation.

    Thomas Lennon (Lieutenant Dangle, without his hot pants) joins the crew just in time for the release of the movie "Reno 911! It's a Wonderful Heist," premiering December 3rd on Comedy Central and then on the Paramount Plus App.

    The New York Times Best Selling author opens up about his worst job and how his relationship with real law enforcement evolved over the years as ‘Reno 911’ grew. The screenwriter also shares the best advice he can recall and throws shade and praise.

    Can a ventriloquist cross the line?

    An email regarding comedian Jeff Dunham’s visit to the show leads the team to explore that question as they also discover that @RodForShort might have a ventriloquist act that could stir the pot even more than anything Jeff Dunham has ever conjured up.

    This episode is brought to you by ‘Narado & The Wiz,’ coming soon to a city near you.
