The footage was silent, but it still felt like a shot heard round the world. The infamous leaked elevator security camera footage of Beyonce and Solange Knowles seemingly giving Jay Z his due is one of the most compelling moments in history. (According to this historian at least.) Joining Tess to unpack what actually went down that famous night after the Met Gala are Lauren Smith (@mslas) and Rachel Smith (@privatecirizenrachel), co-hosts of “The Smith Sisters Live” on Radio Andy on Sirius XM.

Harrison Ford is a long-time pilot. That doesn’t mean he’s a great one. The only thing perhaps more impressive than Harrison’s long acting resume is the number of times he’s managed to find himself involved in aviation incidents. How many times has this star come pummeling frim the heavens? And why does he keep going back?

Joining Tess to talk through Harrison’s spotty flight log, is Jon Gabrus @gabrus, host of “Staying Alive,” and “The Action Boyz.”

TLC was the definitive girl group of the ‘90s. They dominated both the hip hop and pop music scenes. They were pioneers of feminist music and culture. Perhaps no member of TLC embodied the group’s independent ways more than Lisa Left Eye Lopes. After Lopes was charged with arson for setting the home she shared with her football player boyfriend on fire, Lopes was seen as a truly chaotic figure. What really ignited that fire, though?

Joining Tess to talk through the icon that was Left Eye, is Ashley Ray (@theashleyray) , host of “TV I Say.”
