Drake dropped THREE albums in one weekend — Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti — reportedly to get out of his UMG deal, and we're reviewing all three! Is Drake back or are the albums mid? We're keeping it honest — no tribalism allowed.Then the NBA Conference Finals are HERE and we can't sleep on these games. Victor Wembanyama just put up 41 points, 24 rebounds in 49 minutes in a double-OT Game 1 WIN over OKC — making history as the youngest player ever with 40+ pts and 20+ reb in a playoff game.

Sounds cool, but the details are thin. Is this the future of WWE storytelling or a gimmick? Plus, 30 WWE releases have hit the wire, The New Day is gone over contract disputes, and Kevin Nash is out here telling wrestlers to unionize through SAG. Is he right? We debate it. And we throw out quick predictions for the next PLE before wrapping with a "Do We Care?" segment covering The New Day possibly heading to AEW, Mason Rook in NXT, and Oba Femi's open challenge.
