First off, let’s properly acknowledge the legends, Aretha Franklin, Neil Simon, and John McCain. RIP to you all.

This week, in a rather slow news week, the fellas discussed mental health and taking time to invest in the business of YOU. We talk NFL contracts and who breaks the bank, California one of the few leading the pack with the abolishment of the cash bail bonds - and the scam that it is, the sheer disrespect that Serena Williams has recently received and her dominance of the sport and much more.

Iv remembers his pops on his 4 year death anniversary, we talk two types of useless people, navigate through Wilder and the tear he’s in to be the best, Canelo v. GGG, McGregor v. Khabib, Victor Cruz retirement, Melo Season Pt.II, unruly man, Jeffrey Epstein and his shocking comments in ordeal with police, residual effects of our current WH leader, and much more. Tap in!

This week the fellas joined by Courtney Bates, up and coming comedian in the Los Angeles/Inglewood area. We talk about LA living, how we to up the self-discipline portion of our psyche to get the most successful outcomes out of our day, life, and our dreams. We give out thoughts on T.O. excluding himself from the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremonies to throw is own enshrinement festivities, was he justified in his doing so?, there’s also some debate on who was greater, T.O. or Moss. We get into the hard wired minds of men in relationships, then we fly of the rails on the must-listen episode. Tap in!

This week was a wild one as it pertained to our work/life schedules outside of Good Riddance so preproduction was a little shaky but that doesn’t stop the content. J and Iv discuss this upcoming Fantasy Football year and our preferences, I ask J “is college still necessary?”, with a few tangents in between but we also dive into life situations. Can men and women be friends and nothing more? We get into much more. Tap in.

J has touchdown back in the City and came in ready to talk. This week, with NBA free agency being in full effect, we are a little top heavy with the sports dislogue - but nevertheless, we will not let up on players' decisions. We talk LeBron bringing showtime back, Boogie Cousins taking the "3rd splash brother" mantra way overboard?, new music with Scorpion hitting the airwaves, Iv breakdown Jay Rock's - Redemption album. J lets his thoughts on Terry Crews fly & much more!

The individual that gets the Good Riddance nod this week is Jamies Winston, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

This week, we were without one of our regular co-hosts. J is out in Chicago living it up, but Iv is still on track to create some new dialogue. He is in studio with Nate, owner of Thumbwar Studios located in Hollywood. They delve into everything from the optics ofAlison Ettel aka #PermitPatty, references to #BBQBecky, they weave into the tragic situation of the untimely murder of 15-year old Lesandro Guzman-Feliz, Terry Crews shaking up the #MeToo movement and what this means for victims and much more.
