FULL EP | Danity Kane announces twenty-year reunion tour; Joy Reid responds to Stephen A. Smith about ratings; Former Michigan football coach detained by police; and MORE

The Morning Hustle kicks off with a vibrant ride through nostalgia, headlines, and hot-button drama—starting with Danity Kane’s surprise announcement of their 20-year reunion tour. Lore’l breaks down how the group cleverly teased the lineup with silhouette artwork, confirming only three original members—Aubrey O’Day, Dawn (formerly “D. Woods”), and Aundrea—will hit the road. With limited tour dates and longtime fans eager for redemption after their turbulent Bad Boy days, the show laughs about which members listeners pray will show up and why some fans might ask for a refund if their fave isn’t included.  

From music nostalgia to media beef, the team dives into Joy Reid’s pointed clapback at Stephen A. Smith, after he implied she was fired over ratings. Joy corrects the record—claiming her numbers topped his—and the Hustle crew debates whether Stephen A. is being unfairly criticized or rightfully held accountable. Lore’l pushes back on Joy’s claim that he’s “paid to tear down Black people,” while Kyle reminds everyone that Stephen A.’s commentary often lands differently when it comes to the Black community.  

The most chaotic twist of the morning comes with the story of a former University of Michigan football coach detained by police after a disturbing unraveling of workplace misconduct, harassment allegations, and personal scandal. According to Lore’l, the coach pursued an inappropriate relationship with an assistant, confronted her when he believed she was pregnant, and ultimately faced stalking-related charges—leaving his job, reputation, and family life in shambles. The Hustle team reacts with disbelief and humor (“How’s he gonna feed the kids now?”), tying this messy situation into a broader conversation about power, accountability, and bad decisions.
