In this episode of The Underground Lounge, Lou, Spank, and Vic bring back their fan-favorite segment Tweets from the Streets, where Spank breaks down some of his wildest and most controversial tweets.

The conversation kicks off with a fiery debate about Glorilla winning a BET Gospel Award for a feature with Kirk Franklin. Spank questions whether it's fair for non-gospel artists to be recognized in gospel categories, sparking a broader discussion about genre lines, culture, and inclusion.

They shift into modern dating expectations after Spank questions the viral phrase “Don’t approach me if you can’t afford me,” calling out the transactional nature of some relationships. The group jokes through serious topics like victim-blaming, with Spank admitting he sometimes blames himself in tough situations just to feel a sense of control.

They also dig into the infamous “I am the table” dating trope, clowning podcast culture and the empty flexes people use to dodge real conversation. From there, the crew lightens up, cracking jokes about cougar culture, club life, and how people now stage entire Instagram-worthy scenes inside the club to fake a lifestyle.

The episode closes with a real talk about marriage, finances, and why social media has warped expectations around relationships. Spank reflects on his past marriage and why, for many men, love can feel like a bad business deal if the balance isn’t right.

Packed with laughs, sharp takes, and real honesty, this Tweets from the Streets episode is raw, hilarious, and relatable — the Underground Lounge at its best.

In this can't-miss episode of The Underground Lounge, Detroit's own Comedian CP joins Lou and Spank for an unfiltered, high-energy conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, honest, and unexpectedly insightful. From the moment he sits down, CP brings his signature brand of smart, sharp humor as they chop it up about everything from the grind of stand-up comedy to family, fame, and what it means to come from the heart of the Midwest.

CP opens up about how growing up in Detroit shaped his comedic voice—starting with being the funniest kid in the family, roasting adults as a child, and later hosting chaotic bar shows for unreceptive, half-drunk crowds. He breaks down the real rules of making Black audiences laugh, the evolution of comedy in the internet era, and how writing commercials early in his career taught him how to talk to the world.

The crew also dives into the art of roasting, the egos and politics behind the scenes in stand-up, and why CP believes some of the best comedy comes from taking intellectual risks. He talks about pushing boundaries with a purpose, building trapdoors into his material, and being one of the few comedians who can talk about Harriet Tubman and still get a laugh.

On the personal side, CP shares real moments about therapy, his marriage, and the struggle of trying to be “romantic” as a practical, hardworking man. The conversation gets wild as they talk green room stories, drug culture in comedy, wild fan moments, and trash talk gone wrong, from CP heckling NBA players courtside to his thoughts on fighting Floyd Mayweather (spoiler: don’t).

As always, the episode closes with the F* It Bucket**, where CP answers reckless questions with equal parts wisdom and recklessness—discussing lie detector tests, mental superpowers, and whether dating a woman your boy already smashed is a dealbreaker.

Raw, revealing, and undeniably funny, this episode is CP at his best and The Underground Lounge at its most entertaining.

On this episode of Underground Lounge: After Hours, the crew has a more vulnerable, grown-up conversation about what it really looks like to evolve. Lou kicks things off with a heartfelt reflection on how life is hitting different at 38, from body changes to shifting energy to a deep craving for more purpose, more clarity, and more peace. What starts as casual talk about the weekend quickly turns into a soul-searching session about growth, health, discipline, and the discomfort of leaving old versions of yourself (and some people) behind.

Holly and Spank weigh in with their own takes on aging, entitlement, friendships, and the challenge of defining what “fun” and “freedom” look like as you get older. Lou gets candid about walking away from the habits and environments that no longer serve him, even if they once brought joy, money, or security. He opens up about the loneliness of leadership, the burden of being “the one” everyone relies on, and the hard truth that “everything ain’t gonna make it” into the next chapter.

They talk gut health, fake friendships, party culture, the trap of being the one who always buys the bottles, and the pressure to go viral in the content game, while still trying to maintain authenticity. The trio doesn’t hold back on what it feels like to be caught between who you’ve been, who you want to be, and who you need to become.

Whether you're in your 30s reevaluating your circle, in your 20s building your habits, or in your 40s trying to figure out how to do it all better, this episode is for you. Raw, introspective, and still laced with the signature humor that makes After Hours feel like a real-life therapy session mixed with game night, this one is about growth. The scary kind. The necessary kind. The kind where you finally say: “It’s time.”

In this electrifying Underground Lounge Podcast BET Awards Special, recorded live in Downtown Los Angeles, Lou Williams and Spank Horton bring the lounge experience to the heart of the culture. With Holly joining as a special co-host, the crew celebrates BET weekend in style, unfiltered, hilarious, and packed with energy.

The live audience sets the tone as the fellas welcome an all-star lineup of guests: comedian and "Broken Play" host Nav Greene, platinum-selling artist K Camp, industry veteran and mogul-maker Ray Daniels, entertainer and comedian DC Young Fly, and Grammy award winning MC Rapsody. Together, they reflect on Black excellence in music, sports, and fashion, while keeping it 100 about everything from relationships to career setbacks.

The episode kicks off with nostalgic laughs and a rowdy round of BET trivia, testing the guests' knowledge on everything from 106 & Park to Rihanna’s infamous cash toss backstage. Nav Greene steals the show with wild stories about L.A. nightlife during awards weekend and his hilarious breakdown of fashion red flags. Holly shares one of her most embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions, setting the tone for a real conversation about style, self-expression, and dating turnoffs.

The crew also tackles deeper topics, like the pressure athletes face with betting culture, navigating rejection in entertainment, and the unexpected blessings that come from missed opportunities. A standout moment includes an honest discussion about Lil Wayne’s latest project and the highs and lows of fan expectations in the age of social media criticism.

The infamous “F*** It Bucket” brings out the best (and worst) in everyone, prompting bold confessions about sex, self-sabotage, and communication struggles with partners. Nothing is off limits as the group debates everything from whether moaning during sex is necessary, to what truly turns them off in the dating world, and why some men need to put their hands and their shoes together before sliding into DMs.

Packed with jokes, real talk, and cultural insight, this live special is a snapshot of what makes the Underground Lounge so unique: a space where celebrities can be human, fans get a front row seat to the chaos, and nothing is ever scripted. It’s culture, comedy, and conversation—straight from Downtown L.A. to your speakers.

This After Hours episode of the Underground Lounge kicks off with Holly confronting the elephant in the room — the YouTube comments. She addresses the criticism head-on, acknowledging her loud voice, big personality, and how it sometimes clashes with the male-dominated panel. With Spank and comedian Mike Murphy by her side, the trio dives into a raw and hilarious conversation about internet culture, boundaries, and the unwritten rules of both friendships and birthday dinners.

Mike opens up about how he deals with trolls and why he filters certain words from his comment section. He and Holly find common ground in navigating negativity online, while Spank holds down the middle, offering balance and plenty of side commentary.

The episode spirals (in the best way possible) into stories about social group hierarchies, being the “errand guy” in male circles, and how quickly interest fades when someone doesn’t command respect from their peers. Holly also breaks down the sacred rules of birthday behavior, including what your friends are (and aren’t) allowed to wear, and what happens when someone brings Wagyu energy to a shrimp budget dinner.

Mike reflects on a past conflict where another comic falsely accused him of stealing content, revealing how the situation messed with his energy more than his reputation.

Whether it’s talking through the blurred lines of clout-chasing, the petty politics of group dinners, or the reality of being a solo act in a world full of entourages, this episode is proof that when the cameras are rolling after hours, nothing is off-limits.

In this episode of The Underground Lounge, Lou Will and Spank are joined by an undisputed cultural icon — Melyssa Ford. Known to many as the original video vixen, Melyssa breaks down her evolution from being one of the most recognizable faces in hip-hop videos to becoming a respected media voice and podcast host.

Melyssa reflects on the early days of her career, from modeling in Toronto to working with legends like Jay-Z, Usher, and Jadakiss, and reveals how she made the leap from music videos to becoming one of the main faces of BET. She shares untold stories from legendary sets, including Big Pimpin’ and Knock Yourself Out, and gives insight into what it meant to carry the weight of being “the blueprint” for a whole era of women in entertainment.

The conversation turns personal as Melyssa opens up about winning a Gracie Award, battling imposter syndrome, and why she started her own podcast, Hot and Bothered, to create space for honest conversations about women’s health, identity, and aging with power. She also talks about advocating for Black women in media, learning to stand in her truth, and not letting the noise distract from her purpose.

Of course, the episode keeps it fun and unpredictable with wild stories, laughs, and a spicy round of “F**K IT BUCKET” questions including what to do when you get horny in public. (Yes, she answered.)

From career pivots to cultural impact, this episode is a masterclass in longevity, reinvention, and confidence. Melyssa Ford is more than the blueprint — she’s the upgrade.

In this After Hours edition of the Underground Lounge, things start off smooth but quickly spiral into pure Controlled Chaos. Holly's back to co-Host with Lou Will and Spank as they sit down with Na’im Lynn, Tony Allen, and Paul Pierce for a no-holds-barred conversation that blurs the lines between hilarious, heated, and honest.

The crew kicks off with jokes about getting older, embracing “auntie” and “uncle” energy, and why naps hit harder than parties these days. But as drinks pour and the vibe loosens, the group dives headfirst into everything from Druski’s whiteface comedy and blurred cultural lines to the nuances of racial language in hip-hop.

Then the conversation takes a turn.

What starts as a casual debate about celebrity breakups explodes into a full-on discussion about the Diddy and Cassie drama/abuse, accountability, manipulation, and whether toxicity is something people attract or already have inside them. The room splits as everyone offers unfiltered takes on love, control, and the psychology behind staying in a toxic relationship. Guests open up about past experiences, some regretful, some just plain wild.

From pulling women out of clubs to defining the exact level of “crazy” they prefer in a partner, the group walks the line between funny and flagrant. It's messy, it’s vulnerable, it’s reckless—but it's real. They even tackle stories about intruders, lawsuits, and who’s allowed to say what depending on where they’re from.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when bold opinions, raw stories, and just the right amount of alcohol come together in one room, this episode is exactly that. Strap in, because this one goes there.

In this unfiltered and laugh-out-loud edition of Tweets From the Streets, Spank gets put on the hot seat as Lou pulls up a fresh batch of his most random, wild, and thought-provoking tweets. From complaining about $37 calamari to questioning when we last saw the Obamas together, nothing is off limits. The fellas dive into Spank’s “platonic female friends” theory, debate what makes someone a “real man”, and even share grooming secrets—including cologne placement tips you definitely didn’t expect (spoiler: knees matter).

They keep it real about dating strippers, generational masculinity, and the pressure of gender roles in relationships. Spank defends his stance on smelling good just to boost confidence and possibly catch a few compliments, while Lou questions why appetizers cost more than car repairs.

The crew also touches on the rise of social media beauty standards, double standards around natural bodies, and what it means to be masculine in today’s world, sprinkled with jokes, sidebars, and just enough chaos to keep you glued.

If you’ve ever scrolled past a wild tweet and wondered, “What was he thinking?” — this episode is your answer. Tune in for the comedy, stay for the truth.

In this laugh-filled episode of the Underground Lounge, Lou Williams and Spank Horton sit down with comedian, actor, and viral voiceover star Tony Baker. Repping the South Side of Chicago, Tony brings his signature humor as the trio dives into everything from career beginnings to wild travel stories.

Tony shares how his acting dreams led him to stand-up, recounting early grind days, audition fails, and his breakout on Last Comic Standing. He opens up about life on the road, dodging TSA mishaps, and even being handed guns on arrival during an international gig — all delivered with Tony’s hilarious take.

The conversation shifts to dating, BBLs vs. natural bodies, and the truth about first-date expectations. They take a nostalgic trip back to the BET Uncut era, unpack Tony’s viral rise through animal voiceovers, and the challenges of social media and copyright drama.

Rounding out the episode, they get real about growth, accountability, road rage stories, and why sometimes the biggest flex is knowing when to apologize. Tony also talks hometown pride, his love for Chicago sports, and a dream to make a low-budget classic comedy.

Funny, honest, and full of stories you won’t hear anywhere else — this one’s a must-listen.

In this unfiltered episode of the Underground Lounge, Lou Williams and Spank Horton are joined by one of the most respected names in comedy, Earthquake. From the moment he hits the couch, Quake dives into the journey that brought him from D.C. to the national stage, including how the military prepared him for stand-up, why he founded Uptown Comedy Corner, and what it really means to build your own lane in a game that doesn’t always open doors for you.

Earthquake reflects on the changing landscape of comedy, from social media sensations skipping the stage grind, to how the industry has moved away from loyalty, development deals, and originality. He shares his advice for up-and-comers, why hitting the stage still matters, and how being authentic is the only real blueprint to longevity. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Quake speaks on industry beefs, keeping it real offstage, and why he’s not here for the back-and-forth.

Lou and Spank also dig into Earthquake’s views on cancel culture, the pressure to constantly deliver as a comedian, and how he deals with people stealing his material. Along the way, they trade war stories about bombing on stage, growing as performers, and balancing family life with life on the road.

From gems on comedy game politics to side-splitting stories about self-checkout theft, embarrassing hookups, and playing second fiddle to borrowed jokes, this episode is filled with laughter, insight, and hard-earned wisdom. Whether you're a comedy fan, aspiring comic, or just someone who respects the hustle, this one’s packed with real talk from a real one.
