The Rithm (formerly The BlacLife Pod)

Bryan's algorithms have left him in the dark. In lieu of the episode we had planned, the fellas make an executive decision to update Bryan (and you) on everything going on between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.  They focus on the music and breakdown the best lyrics, explain metaphors and punchlines, dissect the timeline of releases, discuss who they think won and if the battle is over. If you haven't been following, this show will give you everything you need to know!

Everything costs too much. Target has hacked the brains of its shoppers with the "Target Effect." Markus won't share his bonus from work. If your spouse wants to try a new recipe but can't cook, do you support them? And Alex has a run in with a homeless person, creating an interesting moral dilemma.

Why do people like Taylor Swift's music? Gen Z would prefer segregated gyms? Larry Fink says we should retire later, but why?  Do you believe in anything enough to light yourself on fire? All of that plus Carl Jung's five pillars of a good life, Alex's gym has a drumline, Bryan's new love of simplicity, Markus might have been a broke boy, crazy news headlines, and plenty of inappropriate jokes.

On today’s jam packed show, J. Cole’s unprecedented apology leads us to examine what disturbs our peace and how to move on your own accord, OJ Simpson’s complicated life leads to an honest discussion regarding dying alone or dying surrounded by loved ones and we discuss the potential benefits and drawbacks of a four day work week. All of that plus Bryan’s jump roping skills, Alex’s warning to people disrespecting the deceased and which of us has the best celebrity couple name. 

Alex recaps the long list of lurid accusations against Sean Combs which lead to his homes being raided by Homeland Security, before the fellas discuss how money and power can corrupt people and if wealth would have similar effects on themselves. The fellas get the beehive buzzing while reviewing Beyonce's new album "Cowboy Carter," which leads to hilarious revelations about something each would like to do that no one would expect, a wild March Madness related story on "Last Week In Racism," crazy news headlines, Markus' wife gives him a history lesson, Bryan suddenly loves sand, Alex's Gaye excitement and much more!!

California's minimum wage is up.  Fast food prices are up. Home prices are up. Cancer in people under 50 is up. But are they stuck? We break all of that down as only we can, plus the obnoxiousness of storage units, secret sauce, if we’re doing a good job of preventing Cancer, and crazy news headlines. 

On the latest episode of The Rithm, national stories regarding the proposed Tik Tok ban, a confident rendition of the National Anthem, rescheduling marijuana and refined carbs making us ugly, leads to debating the best social media sites, telling your kids the truth about their capabilities, crazy inebriated stories and what makes us unattractive. All of that plus the best donuts, public speaking issues, and Bryan‘s vocal abnormalities. 

On today's wild episode of The Rithm, the upcoming Mike Tyson fight, a Tik Tok internet sleuth and the latest findings regarding Ozempic and other diabetes medications lead to stories about Markus' schoolyard beatdown, why Alex never loses an argument and whether or not Bryan's cravings are actually addictions.
