We got a lot to get to on this week's episode! We quickly kicked things off with a temperature check on the current state of the world, before diving right into Shadeur Sanders' draft stock tanking and whether or not the NFL is quietly colluding against Shadeur. Things then take a wild (and freaky) turn as we discussed Kanye's claims of giving his cousin oral as a child and the allegations around Shannon Sharpe's relationship with a MUCH younger woman.

Later in the episode, we reflected back on albums that we once didn't like but ended up coming around on. Yves then stepped out of the room as Nate & Rob shared their review and full breakdown of Ryan Coogler's newly-directed film that has everyone talking, 'Sinners' [SPOILER ALERT].

On this week's episode, things kicked off with Nate and Yves joking on Rob's newest discovery... he's colorblind! All of the past behind the scenes debates on "what color is this" are starting to make a lot more sense now. Rob also shared another entry to his collection of strange dreams, which led to a breakdown and reaction to the newest season of Netflix's "Black Mirror".

Later in the episode, the guys answer the hypothetical: "If you had to remove 1 artist in hip-hop history to SAVE hip-hop, who would it be?" Everyone had their own reason behind their selection, but share your pick with us in the comments or on social media as well!

Catherine T. Morris, the founder of BAMS (Boston Arts & Music Soul) Fest, joined us for one of the most thoughtful and insightful conversations we've had yet on the podcast! As advocates for the Boston music and arts scene, it was important for us to recognize and learn more about Catherine's contributions toward the scene. Her mission to build racial equity and economic empowerment to Black creatives and entrepreneurs is evident through her work the growing success of BAMS Fest, and her role as the Director of Arts & Creativity at The Boston Foundation.

During our conversation with Catherine, we learned more about her journey, including: her experiences with racism in the METCO program, her early work as an event coordinator during her college years, and her time spent in Philadelphia (which ultimately inspired her return to Boston and sparked the idea of BAMS Fest). Catherine also shared with us the criteria behind BAMS Fest's selection process for performers, advice she has for up-and-coming artists, and her overall views on the state of the creative economy in Boston. This conversation is a must-listen and one we're sure you're going to love and appreciate!

What is going on?!? It's only been a few weeks of 2025 and things are already starting to get real WEIRD! We kicked off this week's episode with our reactions to the viral clip of an Arizona man getting caught with his pants down at a drive-thru, and then "unaliving" himself in what the internet has dubbed "a goonicide". You can't make this sh-t up...

We also shared our thought's on Drake alluding to LeBron being a cheater, TikTok potentially being banned (recorded before ban lift), and LiAngelo Ball's $13 million record deal.
