We bring the homies from Off The Dome Podcast into the Has‑Beens studio for a real Atlanta conversation that blends sports, culture, and the city’s identity.

Then we shift into the NBA Draft: Ant & Melo forming one of the league’s most entertaining backcourts, the Lakers finally adding real athleticism, and the Jazz quietly stacking talent.

From there, we dive into the Terrion Arnold situation, the dangers of “standing on business,” and why having the right circle is the difference between leveling up and crashing out. We wrap with a HasBeens x Off The Dome Certified: Top 5 Atlanta Rappers list and a conversation about how Atlanta continues to influence global fashion and culture.
