I Gotta Win the Lotto

Ep. 89: Who Made You a Psychologist???

This week's episode of I Gotta Win The Lotto is packed with conversations that had us laughing, debating, and asking some tough questions.

First, we tackle the age-old saying: "Respect your elders." But what happens when an elder is being disrespectful to you? Does age automatically earn respect, or should respect be a two-way street? We discuss where the line should be drawn and whether younger generations are changing the way respect is viewed.

Next, we dive into the rise of social media psychologists. It seems like every scroll comes with someone diagnosing strangers based on a 30-second clip. Are these online experts helping people become more aware of mental health, or are we becoming too comfortable labeling everyone with a disorder? We break down the pros, cons, and dangers of armchair diagnoses in the digital age.

And because we like to keep things interesting, we take a look at the Top 10 Kinks in America. Some of the results were expected, while others had us completely shocked. Which ones are more common than people realize, and which ones had us questioning everything? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Catch the latest episode now and join the conversation. Let us know where you stand on respecting elders, social media diagnoses, and whether America's top kinks surprised you as much as they surprised us.

Ep. 88: Just Sellin It

This week on I Gotta Win The Lotto, we’re diving into conversations that are messy, hilarious, and a little too real. From artificial intelligence taking catfishing to a whole new level, to debating how far people should go for their partner financially, this episode is guaranteed to have everybody arguing in the group chat.

First up — is AI bringing catfish culture back stronger than ever? Between fake photos, voice cloning, and perfectly crafted messages, it’s getting harder to tell what’s real online. We break down whether social media is becoming more dangerous for dating and if people are getting a little too comfortable hiding behind AI.

Then we ask the question that had us all side-eyeing each other: would you let your significant other “sell it” if it meant helping your household financially? Is it empowerment, desperation, business… or an absolute dealbreaker? Everybody had a different perspective, and the conversation definitely got heated.

And of course, we couldn’t leave without another wild round of Out the DM’s. The messages this week? Unhinged. From bold Project X house parties to running for your life. Y’all continue to prove that the DM streets are undefeated.

If you love real conversations, unpopular opinions, and nonstop laughs, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. Tune in now and join the conversation online — because somebody in this episode definitely said something cancel-worthy 😂🔥

Ep. 87: Too Old For That 

New episode of I Gotta Win The Lotto dropping this week and somehow the conversations keep getting more unhinged 😂🎰

This episode starts with a discussion that really shouldn’t still exist in 2026… expose pages. We had to ask the question: why are grown adults still making anonymous pages dedicated to tracking people’s business like it’s a full-time investigative career? At what age do you retire from internet messiness? Some people clearly never got the memo.

Then we get into one of the hardest “Would You Rather” debates we’ve had so far:
Free flights for life or free food forever?

Are you taking unlimited vacations and seeing the world whenever you want, or are you securing free meals for the rest of your life and never stressing over a dinner bill again?

And of course we had to tap into the Out The DM’s topic of the week because the submissions lately have been absolutely ridiculous. Y’all are either living in a reality show or making the worst decisions possible, and honestly we appreciate the content.

As always, expect laughs, hot takes, side quests, and conversations that probably should’ve stayed off the mic. Tap into the new episode this week and join the chaos🎙️🎰

Ep. 86: All In For No Reason

I Gotta Win The Lotto – New Episode This Week 🎰🎙️

This week on I Gotta Win The Lotto, the crew got into one of the most debated questions in music right now: can you really separate the art from the artist? We talked about whether great music should still be supported when the artist behind it gets “cancelled,” and how hard it is to stop listening when the songs are still in rotation. Safe to say… opinions were flying all episode long.

We also asked the question everybody keeps debating online — are music festivals even worth it anymore? Between overpriced food, crazy ticket prices, chaotic crowds, and phones getting stolen every five minutes, we had to figure out if the experience still matches the hype. Of course, we also talked about the moments that still make festivals unforgettable.

Then we had to address JB’s growing gambling addiction 😂. Whether it’s prize picks, casino apps, or convincing himself “one more bet” is the winning one, things might be getting out of hand. The intervention might be coming soon.

And to close things out, we brought back another wild Out the DM’s segment. Y’all continue to send the craziest anonymous stories, and this week’s submission definitely had us questioning people’s decision-making skills. As always, names stay anonymous, but the stories are too good not to discuss.

New episode out now — tap in, laugh with us, argue with us, and send in your stories for the next Out the DM’s! 🎧

Ep. 85: Supporting Bad Decisions

This week’s episode was one of those conversations that starts off funny but gets real real quick.

We kicked things off by breaking down the difference between supporting vs enabling your friends—and let’s just say… not everybody is as supportive as they think they are. We talked about how true support isn’t always agreeing or hyping your friends up. Sometimes it’s calling them out, holding them accountable, and being honest even when it’s uncomfortable. Because at the end of the day, are you helping your friend grow… or just helping them stay stuck?

Then we switched gears into our craziest job and work experiences, and this part? Pure chaos. From wild customers to questionable management decisions, we shared stories that really make you wonder how some workplaces are even functioning. We talked about those moments that make you want to quit on the spot, coworkers that test your patience, and jobs that expect CEO energy on a barely-above-minimum-wage paycheck.

To wrap it all up, we ended with our Out the DM’s segment—where y’all always come through with the wildest, most unexpected stories. From messy situations to moments that had us questioning everything, this segment never disappoints.

Overall, this episode is a perfect mix of real talk, storytelling, and laughs. Tap in, because whether it’s friendships or work life, we covered it all.

Ep. 84: Out The DM’s

This week’s episode is easily one of our funniest yet—nonstop laughs with a little real talk mixed in.

We kick things off by getting into what it really means for Black people to support each other while also holding each other accountable. It’s not always easy, but we talked about why both matter and how honesty can actually strengthen the community.

Then we switch it up and get into our favorite TV shows and movies—the ones we can watch over and over again, quote word for word, and still argue about like it’s a fresh debate.

And somehow… we end up asking the wildest question: would you take a billion dollars if you knew you only had 24 hours left to live? Let’s just say the answers, logic, and reactions had us crying laughing.

This episode is the perfect mix of meaningful conversation and pure comedy. Tap in—you’re definitely going to laugh with us on this one.😂🎥

Ep. 83: We Messed Up BAD

WE REALLY RECORDED A WHOLE HOUR AND A HALF… FOR A SILENT FILM 😭🎬

Nah fr… we sat down, locked in, had stories, laughs, debates, LIFE LESSONS… just for the mic to say: “I’m just here for decoration.” 🎤 Whole time we thought we was poddin’… turns out we was just starring in the next episode of “So You Think You Recorded” 🤦🏽‍♀️

But listen—this right here is part of the journey. Ain’t no skips, ain’t no shortcuts. You either win or you LEARN… and today we learned:  

👉 ALWAYS CHECK YOUR AUDIO 😭

We could’ve scrapped it… acted like it never happened… but that’s not how we move. We still showing up. We still dropping content. We still building.

Because it’s not about being perfect—it’s about being CONSISTENT.

So yeah… enjoy this exclusive behind-the-scenes silent masterpiece 😂  

Tap in, watch the vibes, read the room (literally), and laugh with us not at us… okay maybe a little at us 🤣

Ep. 82: From Transfers to the Draft

This episode of I Gotta Win the Lotto is all about the grind behind the dream. We sat down with Darryle Ware, a draft prospect who took the long road—playing at University of South Carolina, East Texas A&M, and The Citadel, and more—proving that success isn’t always a straight path. From transferring schools to intense draft prep, he broke down what it really takes to stay ready when everything keeps changing.

We tied it back to the show—asking if getting drafted is the “win,” or just the beginning. From first checks to financial mindset, we got honest answers about money, lifestyle, and what success actually looks like beyond the spotlight. Because let’s be honest… everybody says they investing…but somebody definitely buying something they don’t need 😭

This episode isn’t just about football—it’s about betting on yourself when nothing is guaranteed.No shortcuts. No perfect path. Just consistency, resilience, and staying ready when your moment comes.

We closed on one question:

What does hearing your name on draft night mean to you?

Ep. 81: Sh*ting On The Job

This week’s episode is straight chaos in the best way 😂 We’re talking loyalty tests, workplace struggles, and how somehow… kids have become the parents.

First up — you’re out in public and catch your friend’s partner cheating. Not rumors, not hearsay… you saw it with your own eyes 👀 Now what? Do you call your friend immediately? Do you gather evidence like it’s an episode of First 48? Or do you mind your business and stay out of it?

Then we get into a wild one — can you really get fired for using the bathroom at work? 😭 One bad moment, one wrong timing, and now you’re unemployed?? We talk about workplace horror stories, what jobs expect from you, and how sometimes life just be LIFE-ing at the worst possible time.

And finally, let’s talk about how kids are out here raising their parents… especially when it comes to technology and common sense 📱 From explaining how to copy and paste for the 10th time to fixing WiFi like you work for IT, when did we become the “adults” in the situation?? It’s funny… but also a little too real.

As always, we’re keeping it honest, hilarious, and a little unhinged. This episode will have you questioning your morals, your job security, and your patience all at once 😭

Ep. 80: No Deal, No Luck—Just Pressure

This week on I Gotta Win the Lotto, we tapped in with rising rap artist Booda B, and let’s just say…this wasn’t your average music interview. This was real-life pressure, real sacrifices, and real confidence—all wrapped in a conversation that proves you don’t need luck when you bet on yourself.

Of course, we added a little spice too from dating while grinding to how we feel about our ex’s. And you already know the Would You Rather segment brought the chaos.

When asked what keeps him going, even when things slow down, his answer hit different. Because anybody can dream—but not everybody is built to keep going when it gets hard.
