How did a problem involving Jadakiss turn into Jim Jones catching smoke from 38 Spesh? ANT and RED open LOOK AT MY AFRICANS breaking down “Fool’s Mate” before recapping The Game vs. YG VERZUZ and debating what the battle revealed about both West Coast rappers’ catalogs. The conversation jumps to Russell Simmons and Bali, Stephen A. Smith’s controversial marijuana argument, and the debate surrounding Tuskegee University’s new dress expectations and what they mean for HBCU culture, Black professionalism, cultural expression and respectability politics.

On this episode of SHOOTING THE SH!T, ANT, @BURBANBOYREED, and @BLUHILLAVE bring the energy all the way up, turning a simple link-up into a must-hear ride through hip-hop, culture, and unapologetic Black discourse. They kick things off with the recent news of rapper Alley Boy passing, then dive straight into the real-world impact of the Canadian wildfires before igniting the conversation with fiery takes on 38 Spesh, the “Aroma” controversy, and the politics shaping today’s rap scene—setting the stage for one of REED’s most passionate dissertations yet. The momentum doesn’t stop there. The crew goes head-to-head debating an upcoming The Game vs. YG Verzuz, then flips the script with a compelling exploration of the Black Villain Arc that’ll have you thinking long after the episode ends. ANT keeps things unpredictable by introducing a new show that sends the conversation into hilarious, off-the-rails territory packed with wild theories and nonstop laughs. They close things out with a can’t-miss discussion on Black Fatigue—what it looks like, why it’s real, and why it’s hitting harder than ever.

What starts as a celebration quickly turns into one of the funniest reality checks you’ll hear all year. REED returns alongside JAMES for a brand-new episode of SHOOTING THE SH!T after earning Employee of the Month, sparking an unfiltered debate over whether today’s workplace standards have hit an all-time low and what that recognition really says about modern work culture. From there, ANT, REED, and JAMES tackle some of the internet’s biggest conversations, including Chud The Builder’s bond being revoked, the ongoing legal saga surrounding Turkey Leg Hut owner Lynn Price, Michael Irvin making headlines after appearing publicly with a new girlfriend while his wife battles Alzheimer’s disease, and the viral relationship debate surrounding a man refusing to marry his longtime girlfriend because of her debt and weight. EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH delivers the signature chemistry, sharp humor, and fearless conversations that continue to make SHOOTING THE SH!T one of the standout shows in the Podding On Bidness universe.

BROKE BEHAVIOR is one of those episodes that reminds you why some of the best conversations happen with people who were there to witness the moment firsthand. ANT is joined by family, supporter, and longtime Podding On Bidness listener RED, who attended the Roots Picnic and gives his unfiltered reaction to the now-infamous JAY-Z freestyle that has hip hop debating everything from legacy to loyalty. The conversation quickly escalates as the fellas dissect Dame Dash’s comments on The Art of Dialogue regarding JAY-Z, revisit decades of Roc-A-Fella history, and debate whether 38 Spesh belongs anywhere near the Top 5 conversation after publicly calling out JADAKISS. As the hip hop smoke clears, RED shifts gears as a lifelong New York Knicks fan to break down the Knicks’ championship aspirations and whether this is finally the era New York basketball returns to glory. Along the way, ANT and RED wander into powerful conversations about supporting your partner, choosing the right circle, accountability, ambition, loyalty, and the hidden cost of keeping the wrong people around you. BROKE BEHAVIOR delivers the authentic chemistry, strong opinions, and unfiltered perspective that make SHOOTING THE SH!T one of the most unique shows in the Podding On Bidness universe. If you love real talk without industry filters, this is one of those episodes you absolutely cannot afford to miss.

In this one-off Maine episode of Shooting The SHiT Podcast, ANT sits down with Rev for a conversation that is funny, reflective, and sharper than it first appears. What starts with modern-day farming and revolutionary living opens into a bigger discussion on society, fatherhood, raising kids in a different era, and the fading space for joy in everyday life. The episode balances heavy truths with real chemistry, brotherly humor, and the kind of honesty that makes people lean in. Then ANT tells a wild edible story from earlier in the day that pushes the whole episode into unforgettable territory. “What Happened to Black Boy Joy” is raw, entertaining, thoughtful, and built to spark conversation.

Somewhere between the therapy session and the reality show, the truth got buried — and Britt just dug it up. A licensed mental health professional walks into a podcast and tells you exactly why the city of Chicago was architecturally designed to keep certain people sick, scared, and separated. She’s raising a child in a world she professionally documents falling apart, dating in an era she refuses to romanticize, and quietly building a case for a Lavender Marriage that challenges everything society says love is supposed to look like. Her perspective on women in podcasting will land differently depending on who you are — and that’s exactly the point.

On this SHOOTING THE SHiT PODCAST “THE SCAT PACK” featuring @BURBANBOYREED and BIG BO go fully off the rails as they react to the viral “100 studs” conversation, question how far people would go for survival, status, and a green card, and break down a wild neighbor Ring camera crash-out. From there, the episode spirals into the hidden fetish economy, ANT’s explosive rant on organized religion, and a brutal debate about whether clout has destroyed basic human decency.

ANT finally sits down with Zach — a.k.a. @Pusha__Z from the Burban Boys Network — and the first question is the only one that matters: why do they call you “THE NEWS”? What starts as a deep dive into Z’s unfiltered podding style spirals into a horror movie debate that proves everybody’s got a hot take until the lights go out. The fellas rank their favorite slasher films, argue whether Hollywood knows when to let a trilogy die in peace, and somehow land on the one question nobody asks at Thanksgiving — what would actually make you abandon your family? Then there’s McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski calling his own burger a “product” and taking the tiniest bite in corporate history, and if that doesn’t tell you everything about late-stage capitalism, this episode will. Unhinged, unnervingly honest, and uncomfortably funny — this one’s going to leave a mark.

“THE CRASH OUT BROS” is the episode where @burbanboyreed, @bluhillave, and Anonymous Man finally admit they’re not healing—they’re just highly functional train wrecks with microphones. Marriage trials blur into late-night Google searches about HPV, weaponized pettiness, and the quiet resentment you only confess when you assume the group chat won’t leak. They push Black men making space for Black women past the usual hashtag talk, asking what happens when that space is still moderated by algorithms that reward rage-bait and trolling over actual accountability. Cam Newton’s “women’s value drops with kids” commentary becomes the villain of the episode, a symbol of how misogyny keeps getting rebranded as “just my opinion, bro” for clicks and podcast bookings. Brain tumors, Black History versus Black Heritage, and generational burnout collide in a spiral of jokes so bleak you’re not sure if you should laugh, cry, or open a therapy tab next to your podcast app. By the end, you’re left wondering: are we listening to a comedy podcast, a slow-motion breakdown, or a live case study in how the internet turns real pain into premium content—and why you can’t wait for the next episode anyway.

ANT and @FrankieDiamonds_ reunite on SHOOTING THE SHiT for the first time in two years to autopsy the ego of the Negro in an America now deep into the second Trump administration, where Black pain is just another content category and everybody’s “brand” is on life support. Frankie went from Episode 4 OG to missing-in-action, so ANT drags him back to confess why he dipped from the content grind while every washed rapper suddenly discovered live streaming, superchats, and fake authenticity. They spiral into whether you’d snitch your undocumented partner to ICE for a reward and what it means that grassroots movements like Paul Birdsong’s crew had to abandon the Black Panther Party name for the Black Lion Party just to dodge historical beef and legal smoke. From there, they pick apart the suspiciously theatrical Corey Holcomb vs Anton Daniels beef that has half of Black YouTube wondering if we’re watching a real meltdown or just another engineered spectacle for t-shirts and clips. ANT and Frankie cook up twisted tangents on Dr. Umar Johnson’s conspiracy‑laced sermons, Charlie Kirk’s culture‑war cosplay, and Stephen A. Smith’s never‑ending controversy pipeline to show how outrage has become America’s favorite subscription service. This episode is a brutally funny reminder that if you’re not laughing at how rigged the game is, you’re probably the content, not the audience
