  • TRTP Live From BET BASH | Ep 176
    Oct 14 2026

    The lost tapes. A lot of people have asked for the BetBash episode as we did sell out the Sphere and only 20,000 people could see it live. This is the episode & a short intro. Interesting to see how out of date some of the takes could seem seeing as they are only two months old.

    Just a note - thank you to Spanky for letting us do this live pod. It was the highlight of a great event. We would recommend Bet Bash to most of our audience and hope to see everyone there next year!
