Melo, Mero, and Kaz kick things off reacting to a funny All the Smoke clip, which leads to Melo sharing a never-heard story about one of his favorite teammates, Andre Miller (2:45).

Then the guys debate who the best white NBA player in the league is right now (12:30). Even with Detroit’s 3-1 comeback over the Magic, the Pistons still need a real second scoring option, so they get into who should be on their list this summer: Devin Booker, Kawhi Leonard, Michael Porter Jr., or somebody else (33:07). Melo also reacts to Michael Beasley’s all-time one-and-done starting 5 and says he’s swapping one name out (50:42).

Then it gets serious. Melo, Mero, and Kaz go On the Hook for a full hood snacks bracket and argue it all the way down to a winner (1:08:44).

As always, the show closes with a hilarious FWI or FOH (2:07:37), but not before the guys get into the Iceman rollout. Melo does not say whether he has heard any of it yet, but he does talk about what he expects from Drake sonically and why he thinks this could end up being his best album yet (2:17:16).
