On the latest episode of the Some Dude… Podcast, hosts Mike B and J.R. Bang deliver an entertaining mix of humor, debate, and nostalgia as they tackle hot topics from music to sports and beyond.

The episode kicks off with a spirited discussion about Jim Jones' appearance on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe, where Jones stirred controversy by claiming Nas wasn’t relevant in today's music landscape. Mike and J.R. dissect Jones’ claims, questioning if he suffers from “OGYN Syndrome” and debate the boundaries between confidence and trolling.

Next, they are joined by HipHopWired’s managing editor, Weso Omar, to break down the 2025 XXL Freshman List. Weso offers insider knowledge about the up-and-coming artists making waves, such as Jello and Ian, while sharing which selections surprised him and which overlooked talents deserved recognition.

Shifting gears, the duo takes a hilarious trip down memory lane with retro 1-900 phone commercials. From LL Cool J’s hotline to Freddy Krueger’s chilling bedtime stories, Mike and J.R. reflect on the absurdity and cultural impact of these relics from the 1980s.

The excitement builds as they explore the Clipse's highly anticipated musical renaissance. The hosts express their hype for the legendary duo’s upcoming project, speculating on Pharrell's production and the group’s return to top form.

Finally, the podcast delves into sports as it celebrates the Oklahoma City Thunder’s NBA championship victory. Mike praises the team’s patience and development, while J.R. shares his concerns about their ability to maintain championship hunger.

Packed with humor, personal takes, and cultural insights, this episode offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and contemporary relevance that fans won’t want to miss.

The Art of the promo was in full view on last Friday’s SmackDown: John Cena brought his own pipe bomb while Cody said nothing. Which one meant more in the long run? Goldberg vs. Gunther is official but will Goldy even make it to Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12th?

Liv Morgan injured her shoulder on Raw so who will need to pick up the slack?

Summer’s typically the time for footy obsessives to take a break from club football to devote their divided attention to international tournaments and non-footy interests, but FIFA, in all its wisdom, decided to launch the Club World Cup. Great.

Join Tosin and Deen for a brisk trip through all the goings-on in world football over the last week, from the USMNT snapping a 4-game losing streak in their CONCACAF Gold Cup opener, to the sparsely attended and South American devoted Club World Cup.

The First Black Champ Podcast kicks off by discussing Jey Uso’s surprising loss of the WWE World Heavyweight Title and reflect on his reign. Speculation is high about Gunther facing Goldberg at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12, with the duo sharing their thoughts on this potential clash of dominance.

Ron Killings, known by fans as R-Truth, takes center stage. Recent comments reveal his desire to return with a more serious edge, shedding his comedic image. His declaration of identity as "The Truth" sparked a conversation about his legacy and what this could mean for his future.

The podcast also previews the highly anticipated Night of Champions event. Matchups like Sami Zayn or Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes, and Roxanne Perez or Jade Cargill vs. Alexa Bliss, fuel plenty of predictions and debates. CM Punk’s rumored Saudi Arabia payday is also up for discussion.

The episode wraps up with the "Do We Care" segment, examining the Bella Twins’ potential comeback, Bayley’s triumphant return, and Charlotte Flair’s puzzling losing streak. From title shifts to potential returns, this episode delivers a packed hour of wrestling insights.

Dante & Malik give the state of the union address for the Atlanta Braves & Texas Rangers.
