Hour one of Jammin With Juice begins with a relatable discussion about losing essential items like keys and phones between Carrie & Ben, along with Carrie’s TV struggles as she tries to find a best fix or decide to replace the TV as a whole. The discussion around technology furthers with Carrie & Ben discussing their reluctance or excitement around this invention. The duo then gets into “Something Juicy”, sharing the biggest headlines from the past 24 hours which included former NFL Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater being fired for providing impermissible benefits after supplying players with resources for travel & recovery during the season, Grammy-nominated singer Tamar Braxton announcing a new partnership with Gilead Sciences, Inc., aimed at raising awareness about HIV prevention among Black women, along with Beyonce & Kendrick Lamar receiving primetime Emmy nominations for their contributions & performances this year respectively.

From SZA’s former manager to Doechii & even Jay Z, Nicki pulls no punches as it gets messier and messier. Carrie & Ben ask Truth Nation are these conflicts and beefs good for the culture? or do these arguments and spats ruin legacies and standing in the game?
