February 04, 2023STARZIt’s been 8 years since the loss of the Bay Area’s own The Jacka. We look back at a life and career that is sorely missed throughout the world. Then a new artist from Oakland calls out his fellow Bay Area rappers to band together and go on another run. We discuss our thoughts on not only why we agree but if there’s more holding back the Bay then itself. It’s been 16 years since E40 & Keak Da Sneak dropped “Tell me when to go” we go back in time to when we first heard the classic and rank the track in each artist’s catalog. Speaking of rankings the next 10 artists have been released in Billboards top 50 rappers of all time. Numbers 20-11 are comprised of deserving artists Rich and I both agree on until we get to number 11. We’ll let you know which artist caused the only disagreement in discussion. Plus Canada is crazy as hell, as of Tuesday the province of British Columbia becomes the first in the Country to decriminalize all hard drugs. Those carrying 2.5 grams or less of any substance including but not limited to fentanyl will not be arrested, charged, or have their drugs confiscated. If that wasn’t crazy enough Massachusetts is proposing a bill that would allow prisoners to donate organs to lower sentences. All that and somehow DJ Drama had the craziest quote of the week. It involves putting two of Philly’s favorites against each other. All that and more on episode 157 of UNPROFESSIONAL AF!

February 01, 2023BreakdownsOn this episode we get straight to sports. We cover the Conference Championship Sunday results. Injuries all over the days games but no team was as affected as the 49ers squad. We give our opinions on the robbery that was and look ahead to the Super Bowl matchup in place. Then we document some breakdowns that have raised the bar for what a breakdown is. A man breaks up with his girlfriend while aboard a flight resulting in a new version of turbulence. And Lebron is on the way to breaking Kareem’s all time leading scorer record but before that he broke the internet after reacting to a missed call at the end of regulation. We clown the self proclaimed King and discuss how this looks for his legacy. Then a man attempting to cash a check at his local Walmart has a breakdown that makes Lebron look calm, cool, and collected.

Last pod we talked about the advantages for kids in school these days, this time around we put ourselves in the teachers shoes. Two separate stories of student versus teacher with two completely different outcomes. Then a woman 29 years of age that enrolled herself as a freshman in high school. We’ll let you know how she got away with 4 days of classes unbothered. It’s up for those of y’all that share Netflix passwords. The company expects to affect 100 million homes when they end the sharing in March. Does this make dollars and sense or did they underestimate the scammers? A local story of a teen shot in an officer involved shooting in Tracy leaves a teen hospitalized and a community asking questions. This happened hours prior to our recording and little was known at the time but we share the information available. Then the horrific story of Tyre Nichols. A traffic stop resulted in a beating so bad he would succumb to his injuries 3 days later. A surveillance camera captures an excessive use of force that is comparable to that of Rodney King if not worse. As the officers have not only been fired but also charged with murder we anticipate what ripple effects this may have going forward. Also Billboard released the next 10 names in their top 50 rappers of all time. As numbers 30-21 are released we give our takes on their selections. And of course we breakdown this Conference Championship Sunday. Four teams remain with a trip to the bowl on the line.
