Comparisons are made to Hollywood heavyweights like Robert Downey Jr. and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

- Tyrese in the Marvel Universe: The hosts debate Tyrese's involvement in the Marvel Universe, specifically his role in the movie Morbius. They humorously discuss the possibility of Tyrese playing a bigger role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with one host jokingly suggesting Tyrese as the new Black Panther.
