Ebro and Rosenberg use Family Friday to catch up on a Rundown that's been piling up. NBA YoungBoy's comments about wanting to leave music spark a conversation about his enormous following, his connection with younger fans and comparisons to DMX. Then they get into 215, a scripted series in development about Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff's early hip-hop years, leading to a debate over Run-D.M.C., crossover success and "Walk This Way."

Later, Chris Rock's latest headlines bring the Will Smith slap back into the conversation, a listener checks in for Family Friday, and a report about stolen cars being shipped overseas from New Jersey prompts Ebro to tease a wild personal story for Patreon.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed sits in for the entire show as he discusses his campaign for U.S. Senate in Michigan and why he believes Trump's attacks have actually given him a bigger platform. He explains why he doesn't identify as a socialist, makes his case for Medicare for All and argues that corporate money has distorted American politics.

The conversation expands to government accountability, voter apathy, religion and foreign policy before turning to racial disparities in maternal health, contraception, abortion access and Medicaid. El-Sayed also lays out how he'd approach transparency and governing in the Senate — before the crew finally confronts him about the viral fart conversation.

Ebro and Rosenberg start with a preview of their Money B Patreon conversation, including the story behind Raw Fusion and the phrase "Six Million Ways to Die," before detouring into wrestling, John Cena, business ownership and the economics of radio.

Then politics takes over. The crew reacts to Trump's new encouragement of mail-in voting after years of criticizing it before White House correspondent Ebony McMorris joins with a midterm check-in. They discuss Trump's campaign push, slipping support among Latino voters, competitive races, the cost of living and what voters are feeling with less than a month until Election Day. The conversation also returns to Trump's $5,000 promise and the messaging Republicans are taking into the final stretch.
