After a quick birthday recap, the duo dives into a loaded episode. First up — tattoos. Amber shares her Mother's Day gift, while AJ makes his stance very clear (spoiler: he's not a fan).

Then it's sports talk — the NBA and NHL Playoffs are heating up, the PGA Championship is in full swing, and AJ and Amber break it all down.

They close out with a trip down memory lane in Pop Culture Corner. Is 2016 making a comeback? Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan are back in the headlines, and Bieber shut down Coachella. Oh, and MJ is charting again. Apparently we never moved on — and honestly? We're okay with that.
