This week, we’re starting off chaotic reacting to a viral Houston winter storm moment — one case of water, one top shelf, and one brutal decision. When survival mode kicks in, do you owe kindness to strangers or loyalty to your own family? And if society really collapsed tomorrow… who’s actually built to survive an apocalypse?

From there, we break down Dolo’s gentleman’s club dilemma. If you drop $100 on a $30 bill, are you tipping — or should you expect change? What’s etiquette, what’s ego, and when does generosity turn into entitlement?

Next up, we get into a serious one: an ICU nurse killed in a Minneapolis ICE shooting. Why does this case feel quieter than others? Is this justice delayed, selective outrage, or just another example of authority skating past accountability? And does this change how we look at past shootings like René Good — or are we numb unless the story fits the moment?

Then we pivot to Cam’Ron vs. Cali O’Dae and the age-old debate — when does loving your partner financially turn into bad business? Is investing in your girl’s dreams solid support or self-sabotage? And are men wrong for calling out bad investments, or just done protecting feelings over facts?

We close with Fight Night and Super Bowl fallout. If Teofimo really puts Shakur down, does that flip elite boxing on its head — or expose hype culture? Is Shakur protected, or is this the test everyone’s been asking for? Plus, championship game breakdowns and Super Bowl picks — Are we trusting Drake Mate and the Patriots or are we sticking with the defensively lead Seahawks, who actually wins when the lights are brightest?

Top 3 Most Feared Boxers Right Now — “Who Nobody Wants to Fight.”

This week we got the whole crew back and we’re starting off hot reacting to viral allegations that Gucci Mane was robbed by his own artist Pooh Shiesty and crew — all amid contract tension and rumors of Shiesty wanting out to join Yo Gotti’s camp. Whether the rumors are true or not, if you’re Gucci… do you cut ties? Is this strictly business, or did it just turn personal?

From there, we dive into J. Cole & The Fall Off. After bowing out of the beef and issuing an apology, does Cole still hit the same — or did that moment permanently shift how fans receive his music? Are we about to get peak introspective Cole… or a carefully protected legacy play? And can accountability still dominate in a culture that rewards chaos?

Next up, Corey Holcomb vs. Anton Daniels — when “free speech” turns physical. Was Corey standing on Black identity and pride, or reacting emotionally in the moment? In today’s content-driven internet, who really misunderstood the assignment? And when does podcast debate culture stop valuing dialogue and start rewarding escalation?

Then we tackle Druski’s viral church skit. Was it disrespectful — or just a mirror held up to mega churches that blur faith, money, and entertainment? Where’s the line between satire and offense, and who really deserves the criticism?

We close with College Football Championship fallout and NFL Playoff Weekend. What went wrong for Miami — coaching, execution, or exposure? What does this loss say about parity in college football? Plus Caleb Williams vs. the Rams, Patriots momentum, and AFC & NFC Championship picks — who’s actually built for January football?

And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire:

Mount Rushmore of Social Media Comedians.

This week, we’re starting off global reacting to IShowSpeed’s “Speed Does Africa” tour. From Ethiopia to beyond, we break down how this generation of teenagers views Africa and African culture versus how many of us grew up thinking about it — and why Speed deserves real credit for helping flip the narrative in real time.

After that, we pivot to media culture as Hot 97 ushers in a new era of mornings. With Ebro in the Morning ending its 13-year run, The Kid Mero steps into the slot with Mornings With Mero. We react to Mero’s return to daily radio after building a national profile through Desus & Mero and more recently 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony and Kazeem Famuyide. Is this a smart move for Hot 97 — and does Mero bring the energy needed to reshape New York radio mornings?

From there, we get into Hollywood politics as Sinners gets snubbed at the Golden Globes. Fans are heated over Michael B. Jordan missing out on Best Actor, while Timothée Chalamet takes home the win and Teyana Taylor earns Best Supporting Actress for One Battle After Another. Is this about performance… or the same industry games playing out again?

Next up, we tackle a heavy one: ICE vs. Accountability. An ICE agent shoots and kills a U.S. citizen during an immigration crackdown — does federal enforcement get too much grace when deadly force is involved? And would the outrage hit different if the victim wasn’t a white woman? We unpack power, perception, and which lives spark national attention.

Then we shift to hip-hop history as Cam’ron and Jim Jones take their long-standing issues public. When brotherhood turns into content, is that growth through honesty — or ego masked as transparency? And when friendships break, is walking away strength… or does silence feel like surrender?

We close with sports as the Miami Hurricanes head to the College Football Playoff National Championship against the Indiana Hoosiers. What does Miami need to do to win — and what must Indiana avoid at all costs? Is this season proof that The U is officially back… or are we confusing momentum with legacy?
