A NY subway attack turns into a deadly standoff. Elon musk makes an offer to buy Twitter. OG Eaze tells us what a Babymoon is and shares his experience in Miami and Much More!

A wise man once said, “Niggaz be using the Old Testament to get new pussy!” This week we talk about a young man who set Twitter on fire doing just that. Final Will and Jada judgements, Fatal interracial attraction, South Carolina firing squads, Brian Flores gets an ally in his civil rights suit and encouraging words from @UpTownTone to PUSH THRU!!! Let’s get into it.

The 94th academy awards aired last week and all anybody could talk about was The Slap Heard Round the world. After a Chris Rock told a distasteful joke aimed at Jada Pinkette-Smith, Will Smith defended his wife’s honor by slapping her name out Chris’ mouth on live tv in front of the whole world! Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Was this even called for? Soooooo many questions to answer. Soooooo much to unpack. We know y’all prolly sick of it but so what, ITS OUR TURN! A former Yale admin stole $40 million over 8 years. No PPP involved so y’all know we gotta follow this money trail. As reported last week a teen was tragically killed on a roller coaster. This week a young lady posed on TV actin like his family. Weird times. Staten Island Amazon workers led by Christian Smalls and all his splendor have themselves a union. Free Covid testing is OVER, cancer chemicals in fast food packaging and much much more!

What is the safe age distance scale for romantic relations between a man and a woman? I know, I know...it's a crazy, random question.

Jay Z in hot water over Oscar Party location. R. Kelly sings for his cellmate’s daughter for her birthday via phone. Judging by the deep sigh before he starts…he might be somebody’s b***h in there.

Joe Biden has passed a couple bills recently. One that will lend billions to Ukraine and another that will end daylight savings time. That’s YALL manz.

Wakanda director Ryan Coogler made headlines when he was handcuffed and detained at a Bank of America. In an attempt to be discreet he slid a bank slip to the teller with a note on the back asking her to do the money counter in the back. All while dressed in this weeks pod artwork. We have an IN DEPTH conversation about these events. In other banking news, Wells Fargo rejecting black refinance mortgages at a higher rate than it’s counterparts. In the finesse move of the week, a man poses as a Walmart employee and steals an Oculus VR headset. In not so finesse fashion, a YouTube couple stays overnight in a Target in hopes of making a viral video and trip the alarm. Netflix reportedly paid Coodie and Chike $30 million for their footage in the Kanye documentary. We got some flowers for those 2 brothas! Deshaun Watson will not face any criminal charges but is still looking at 20 civil cases. NASTY…STILL! Britney Griner has been arrested and Russia and ironically it is not breaking news of any kind in the US. We try our best to bring awareness. Calvin Ridley suspended for sports betting, we got crumbl cookies in the building, and special S/O to @TheDistrict215 and @Mally__Geeze for being our live studio audience this week! Let’s get it!

Gov Ron DeSantis visited USF this past week and had a strong message for the masked students that greeted him at the podium. “We gotta stop with this Covid Theater!” LOL. FBI arrests TIK TOK star identifying him by his fancy footwork. He rob stores and dances on Tik Tok in the same shoes. Can’t make this shit up people. We reported previously on the great migration from work during the pandemic. Well what about those still there? We tap into a new movement of WFH employees “taking it easy.” President Biden has his first State of the Union address and announces a concentrated effort to prosecute PPP fraud offenders. The joyous reaction of some of our peers has @Prescoast disgusted and he sounds off about it. Miles Bridges spittin bars, NY Liberty fined $500k, gas prices through the roof and OG Eaze(@bournefresh) puts us on to Crumbl Cookies.

WW3 is upon us! On Thursday, February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin gave orders for Russia to bear arms and invade Ukraine.

We take a trip down memory lane on some of our fondest times at Philadelphia’s premiere summer happy hour. As expected, the FOP is fully against the driving bill proposed by our good friend Councilman Thomas. So much so they are suing the city! That’s right, in the midst of perhaps the deadliest time in Philadelphia history the FOP is suing the city so that they can continue the “status quo.” In this weeks Covid Chronicles we take a look at Hong Kong and their elders who refuse to take the vax even if it means death.

Getting Out Our Dreams is the name of the record label started by Kanye West. This week Netflix debuted part 1 of Jeen-Yuhs. A 3 part series documenting Kanye getting out his dream. The best way to explain the first chapter…it’s the song Last Call in real time. It’s inspiring to say the least. Armed with that inspiration, we came to pod at a HIGH level this week. NFL still on bullshit! @UpTownTone calls out the black peoples willing to do their dirty work. Racism at Tesla sparks a lawsuit. Segregation and racial slurs are said to be common in the Tesla factory. Elon Musk chalks it up to the nature of the industry. We discuss it all. We bring you some clarity on the Dave Chapelle housing situation. We knew something was off.

It was founded in 1961 with a store in Jamestown, New York, and at its peak operated 138 stores in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions. I still remember the one in Cedarbrook Mall. Our episode has absolutely nothing to do with this. It’s just a witty title to explain the recent events in our city. James Harden is FINALLY a Sixer! Also…Da Baby has a slip and slide fight, T.I. The comedian, Pfizer project to make $54B in vaccine related profits, we revisit the Joe Rogan convo specifically the use of the N-word, paint and sip sex and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!
