The show focuses on rapper Action Bronson sitting on a couch, smoking marijuana with his friends, and watching episodes of History's "Ancient Aliens", from Viceland's sister network. Bronson is most  often accompanied by music producers The Alchemist and Knxwledge, his cousin Big Body Bes, and various guest stars, including musicians, actors, and other associates of his. According to producers Jordan Kinley and Hannah Gregg, the show was conceived as a way to address disgruntled viewers of H2, the network that formerly aired "Ancient Aliens" before being replaced by Viceland on cable carriers in the United States. The show is notable for its use of greenscreen. The participants watch "Ancient Aliens" on a monitor while the show is greenscreened behind them. Objects float around in the background while the guests smoke  in the foreground. The original "Ancient Aliens" show supports the ancient astronauts theory popularized by author Erich von Däniken. The show is free-form and unscripted, and Gregg says that they "literally will not tell [the guests] what they're supposed to do" (though content is edited for advertiser and viewer appropriateness, where required). Each episode is blocked for an hour, giving an average runtime of 44 minutes.
