Topics & Discussion Questions
1. BREAKING: NBA Trade Deadline Madness (Trae Young & Harden Moved)

Context: As of today (Feb 4, 2026), major moves have shaken the league. Trae Young has been traded to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, and James Harden is headed to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a swap for Darius Garland.

The Question: “The Wizards just gave up zero picks to get Trae Young, and the Cavs swapped youth for experience with Harden—which GM just made the biggest mistake of the year, and does this actually make Washington a contender?”

2. NLE Choppa Kisses New Artist on the Lips

The Question: “Is signing a woman you are intimate with a ‘boss move’ that keeps the money in the family, or is it a guaranteed liability that’s going to end in a messy lawsuit?”

3. Passa Passa: 20 Years Later, Where Are They Now?

The Question: “Looking back at the Passa Passa era 20 years later—has any event since been able to match that organic energy, or is that ‘golden era’ of Dancehall officially dead?”

4. Did you know this Grammy Award-winning artist has ties to Three 6 Mafia?

(Note: This refers to Jelly Roll, who has deep roots with the Memphis legends).

The Question: “Jelly Roll is dominating Country now, but he started out trying to be the next Three 6 Mafia. Does knowing his real roots make you respect his hustle more, or do you look at his switch to Country differently now?”

5. 2 Fired & 8 Suspended Teachers Get Blowback (TDSB / Bowmore Road)

Context: Parents and unions are rallying after 10 staff members at Bowmore Road Public School were disciplined (2 fired, 8 suspended), leaving students without their regular teachers.

The Question: “The board wiped out nearly the entire intermediate staff at Bowmore Road in one day—is this a necessary cleanup of ‘toxic’ behavior, or is the TDSB sacrificing these teachers to save face?”

6. Plies vs. Trick Daddy (Who had a better career?)

The Question: “When we strip away the antics and look strictly at the catalogue and cultural impact—who truly holds the crown for Florida: The Mayor (Trick Daddy) or The Goon (Plies)?”
