They discuss how they have both prepared themselves for this first episode in different ways, but also similar.

Their first guest is LeVar Burton. He starred in Star Trek, the Next Generation alongside Jonathan and Brent.

Barrack and Michelle Obama. Trivial Pursuit television game show as he didn’t get the hosting job on Jeopardy.
