This week’s episode comes to you live from Los Angeles at the BET Media House — the annual culture-filled family reunion where artists, creators, and industry heavyweights come together before the big show. Mona kicks things off with Eva Marcille (formerly Eva the Diva from America’s Next Top Model), where they dive into balancing classiness with hood roots (1:20), her new cannabis line, destigmatizing weed culture, and her role on All the Queen’s Men (4:50). Mona then sits down with Jim Jones and Maino from Let’s Rap About It (7:40), where Maino jokes about Mona’s new body (8:00), talks about how humor comes naturally to him (9:00), and the crew debates rap versus podcasting (9:50). Then Kendra G joins Mona to talk about calling her audience “Kousins,” (11:10) the pettiest thing she’s done in love (11:50), what she’s working on next (13:15), and her love for BET weekend (14:20) —while giving Mona her flowers (15:20). Mona returns the favor in her conversation with Jamila Bell (17:00), who breaks down her work behind and in front of the camera (18:15) before Mona gives us a little fake acting moment for laughs (20:10). Then it’s on to Jason Lee of Hollywood Unlocked⁠, where they unpack Mona’s viral bodega moment, BET weekend energy (20:50), and Jason’s ongoing issues with Joe Budden (23:40). Philly’s own Kur pulls up to talk about what’s next in music (27:30), his inspirations, and fatherhood (33:10) before Mona links with her podcast cousins at the Grits and Eggs Podcast—Deante Kyle and Big Ice Cup Cat— (35:10) for a conversation on Mona’s surgery, medical tourism, how the Joe Budden Podcast crew feels about her transformation (37:40). Comedian Reg Thomas joins the couch, opening up about how life changed after appearing on Funny AF with Kevin Hart (42:30). Then Mona chops it up with Maiya The Don about both of their weight-loss journeys (47:35) before connecting with Trim the talent artist behind the hit Coconut Water (52:30), to discuss her rapid rise in rap, and the inspirations fueling her grind (54:15).

The episode closes with comedian CP (1:04:05), who breaks down his favorite female comics, his comedic inspirations and leaves listeners with game on how to elevate in the industry (1:10:40)—even without liquor, drugs, or shortcuts . ------------------------- See Mona Live!
