Just when we thought Pusha T had officially RIP'd Drake in their feud, last week both Drake and Push rekindled it while adding more fuel to the fire, with Push revealing that the information about Drake's hidden child stemmed from 40.  We revisited the beef as a whole with the new developments this time around.

This one is a lot to take in y'all.

Along the way, we touched on our faith in Generation Z, what it's like growing up a Millennial with constant national tragedies in our lives, politicians caring more about winning a game than actually helping people, and the caravan making its way towards the US.
