The Shop

It's a brand-new episode of #TheShop! Steelo and Travis are joined by comedians Jo Koy and Bresha Webb, along with R&B artist Tank, for a wide-ranging conversation about relationships, dating, fame, ambition, and “sleep-negative households”…hmmm.

This week, it’s a family affair at #TheShop. Steelo Brim and Travis Bennett are joined by Syd—Travis’s sister, the acclaimed artist and co-founder of The Internet—for their first-ever sit-down conversation together. They run back what their life on tour was like during their days with Odd Future. NLE Choppa also pulls up to reflect on the spiritual awakening that led him to be baptized again. They unpack how dramatically technology has changed in a single generation— the wild reality of being a celebrity in the internet era.

Hosts Steelo Brim and Travis Bennett are joined by basketball legends Matt Barnes and Nneka Ogwumike to talk shop about the wild Daejon Love story involving an alleged $1.3 million scam, the fallout from the Clippers’ massive Kawhi Leonard penalties, and who they’re picking as their dream 2-on-2 partners.
