Hyphen Nation

Morgantown roads and construction set off a rant. The day of being a CM Punk guy are running short. Zoos are discussed. Detroit Become Human is incredible even if you’re just watching it on YouTube like me. My journey into the world of keto dieting is finally revealed. I miss summer already.

Pittsburgh’s DJ Hollywood joined me in the WVU Coliseum parking lot to discuss his beginnings, career, and how he’s stayed humble in the DJ game. Before that, I finally review Drake’s Scorpion album. I miss the old Aubrey. Shout to D-Generation X for the inspiration behind the new episode artwork.

Jumped in the Subaru Impreza with Anthony to head to Browns training camp in Berea, OH. With about 10 hours drive time ahead of us, I present the longest episode of THE WORLD’S GREATEST PODCAST yet! I kid, but we did talk for most of the trip from Morgantown to Walker, WV where we were picking up his dad and Lane. To hear the pod between Walker and Berea, check out Lemon On The Edge 6. For now, here’s two guys on the open road on a Sunday morning. Why does Drake’s videos for Scorpion have to be so good?

I talked about Steven Universe for a good chunk of this episode and didn’t even mention the music. SMH. Anyway, if you are or you aren’t a member of the Crystal Gems army, I try to give you a good starting point to get to know Steven, Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet. From there, I reminisce about the hip-hop blogs of yore and wonder if they’re really a shell of their former selves or if I’m just not into it enough to find the reigning, defending, undisputed blogs of today. I wrap things up by celebrating another anniversary, as I recall the impact that Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III had on hip-hop and music in general. I think I’m ready to talk about Scorpion now. Heaven help us all.

Go ahead and throw out your lil’ tributes. Your lil’ think pieces. Your lil’ hot takes. None will come close. On this episode of Hyphen Nation, Marcus “ShowinmadLov” Robinson and I celebrate the 10 year anniversary of 2008’s The Dark Knight. Nolan. Bale. Ledger. Gyllenhaal. Eckhart. Caine. Freeman. Deebo. We even let Oldman in. Revisit a classic with us as we breakdown the second film in Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy through ShowinmadLov’s brilliant questioning. Hell, turn it on and listen. Watch out for best Batman hot takes and there’s even some Ant-Man & The Wasp talk for you dedicated listeners at the end. This is still the best comic book movie of all-time. Leave no doubt.

Recorded on the roof of the Hotel Monte Carlo in Ocean City, MD, I’m joined by one of the cohosts of the Fantasy Football Bosses podcast, Gary Wolfe. And for the first time since Episode #10, we indulge in a little fantasy booking for WWE. We fix pretty much everything, so you’re welcome. We also discuss where CM Punk goes next, Brock Lesnar’s impending return to the UFC, and explain why we love online dirt sheets. And we created a much needed new title for the main roster. It’s THE WORLD’S GREATEST PODCAST on vacation!

Season’s change and so do opinions. LeBron James just completed his 15th NBA season. And as always, the debate rages on as to whether he’s the greatest NBA player of all-time. In this corner, stands the forever GOAT in my eyes, Michael Jordan. 6 NBA Championships, 5 MVPs, 6 Finals MVPs, countless career highlights. I spend this episode debating one topic and one topic only: Who’s the GOAT? Chris Hardwick cost Comic Book Men 100 episodes.

I’ve been trying to write these show notes for days now. Inside: Everything you need to know about Atlanta: Robbin’ Season. We finally find out who that guy was on the bus from S01E01! Also, why Earn dropped out of Harvard! Steve G. Lover dropped the full ”Paper Boi” audio! Donald Glover got to host and perform on Saturday Night Live! And no one can forget about the origin story of invisible cars! Plus, we gotta talk about the episode when the real Justin Bieber met Atlanta’s Justin Bieber! Pick and choose your facts out of those. I’m just happy we’re getting season 3.

Pusha T released a scathing diss towards Drake on May 29, accusing him of not only ghostwriting, but having a secret child that he doesn’t want to take care of. Push also made time to tell Drake’s friend/producer to go ahead and die from multiple sclerosis. Oh yeah. Drake apparently took some photos in blackface about 10 years ago. I called up Marcus for this emergency pod so that we could put together all of our first reactions about “The Story Of Adidon” and where we’re going from here.

“See I'm depressed lately, but nobody understands

That I'm depressed lately, I'm sorta feelin' repressed lately

So y'all been hearin' and seein' me less lately

Like 'has anyone noticed the regress lately?'

Look deep, n----, don't I seem stressed lately?

Seem disturbed, lot of regrets lately...”
