ShopTalkPodcast — Episode 495
The guys are back for Episode 495, kicking things off with the legendary Westside intros before diving headfirst into Detroit pride, cultural chaos, and unfiltered ShopTalk energy.
J and Curv trade bars on loyalty, social media antics, and the blurred lines between fame and respect in a digital-first world. You also hear directly from Dame via voice note, adding perspective and continuity to the conversation.
From real talk about relationships and friendship to hip-hop headlines and industry movement, the episode moves sharp and intentional—barbershop wisdom meets block-level honesty. Nothing forced. Nothing watered down. Just conversation that cuts where it needs to.
Pull up, press play, and get your weekly dose of ShopTalk.
