What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Mixed-ish Introduces Young Rainbow To 80s Era Rap Music

What are the odds that the rap music that Rainbow finds herself drawn to are the Beastie Boys??? I know its fairly unlikely, but it'd be pretty funny--heck they could've done an unlikely cross-over with The Goldbergs since they're both 80s era set! ("And that's when i met Barry Goldberg") ("No Rainbow, you're not supposed to know Barry Goldberg!!!") This is What's On for March 17th 2020 (Happy St. Pat's Day!)
