CDK & Horatio

This week on CDK & Horatio –

We’re diving deep into culture, chaos, and everything in between. From the secret world of the pickleball industry to why barbers can’t get enough of local football, we cover it all. We break down Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl, how social media completely ruined homecoming, and reminisce about old restaurants closing down. Plus, we discuss Marvin Winans’ church and the tech world shake-up, with OpenAI reportedly banning MLK Jr. Sora-generated videos after ‘disrespectful depictions.’

It’s sharp, hilarious, and unfiltered—exactly why you tune in

This week, CDK and Horatio are back with another wild lineup of topics. From the hookah slowly killing club culture to road rage and why you can’t let strangers control your emotions, nothing’s off limits. The guys also dive into the Tennessee State ambush after Charlie Kirk’s comments, the “grown and sexy” debate of how old you really look, and the tough conversation around whether it’s time for Gladys Knight to finally hang it up. Plus—students getting limited to seven bathroom breaks, and Albania making history with the first-ever AI Minister.

It’s comedy, culture, and conversation that hits every angle—don’t miss this one.

On this week’s episode of CDK & Horatio, we start by breaking down how award shows have completely fallen off and why nobody seems to care anymore. Then we jump into Young Thug’s recent interview where he admits he’s glad he’s not a street guy and that the streets are done — a moment that says a lot about where the culture is heading.

From there, things get even funnier: what happens when someone you’re not attracted to tries to flirt with you? We’ve all been there. Plus, the shock of seeing Waffle House available on DoorDash sparks a debate on whether some things should stay in-store only. And of course, we couldn’t miss Chris going in on SC State students, calling them “criminals,” and how getting older changes the way you admire women — to the point where the first question becomes, “what’s her @?”

It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, and it’s episode 89 — Whoopty Do.

Whoopty Do — let’s get into it.

CDK and Horatio are back breaking down culture, comedy, and controversy in equal measure. The guys kick things off talking about how Cutwaters and other canned cocktails have quietly taken over the alcohol scene, then dive into the “Tbh & rates” trend, teacher bae outfit debates, and Walmart’s questionable new lighting. From the Gen Z cringe epidemic to why some people look goofy in Meta glasses, they call it like they see it.

The conversation doesn’t stop there—South Carolina’s new hands-free law gets unpacked, AI couple vlogs raise eyebrows, and the shutdown of illegal streaming site Streameast has fans heated with the NFL season right around the corner.

Whether it’s culture shifts, tech weirdos, or overpriced sports subscriptions, nothing is safe from the chop.

This week, CDK & Horatio are playing their wild card — diving into topics that feel just as chaotic as a heated Uno game with no rules and too many cousins.

From political antics to pop culture stumbles, we unpack:

• CDK’s DC trip and Zeddy Will’s inspirational energy
• Trump’s “crackdown” plan for DC — or as we call it, The Plot of Purge 4
• Instagram introducing maps and why that’s low-key terrifying
• The wild Shedeur Sanders x Browns rumor mill
• Florida Evans might be the reason Good Times stayed broke
• First impressions of ChatGPT-5 — it’s giving robot with trust issues
• And finally: a public service announcement to go the hell outside

Press play and draw four — because this episode skips the fluff and goes straight for the wild card.

CDK & Horatio are back with a fresh set of takes. They kick things off with the wild crossover of Malcom Jamal Warner  & Ozzy Osbourne & Hulk Hogan  then debate whether rough drafts in life actually matter — or if everyone’s just winging the final essay. The convo turns soulful with thoughts on Fred Hammond, Leon, and other gospel legends hypothetically pledging Black Greek orgs.

They touch on the WNBA’s new “strike club” energy, break down the reality of being a 30-year-old sophomore, and get brutally honest about non-alcoholic beers (spoiler: it’s not giving). Finally, they close with a PSA for internet trolls: “UNC is not an insult.”
