Episode 009 | Riot Fatigue & Overdue Conversations

The crew is back and we’re kicking it off with Haitian American rising star Thad Jean fresh off a razor-close battle against Jamaican veteran Jason Jackson, earning a split-decision victory. 
Then we get into the heavy stuff: Should Black folks even care about the 2025 LA Riots? We break down the real vs. performative outrage, and ask if we only show up when the narrative fits us.
From there, it gets personal — have we outgrown the “hood” events we used to love? Is it growth or guilt when you stop showing up to the same spots that raised you? Then we ask, can you ever really go back without feeling like a target?
Later, a viral video of a toxic couple turned tragic sparks a tough convo about knowing when to step in — and whether men or women carry more blame when love becomes lethal.
We wrap it up with a nostalgic 87 or 93 Quickfire: It’s 1995 again. No WiFi, no smartphones. What are you doing first?

Episode 008 | Feds, Flames & Film Debates

The squad is back and this weeks topics are just as loud as the culture. First, we get into the latest twist in the Diddy case — Jane Doe takes the stand, and the internet swears it’s 50’s baby moms. Cap or confirmed? And with the feds stacking allegations like mixtapes, we ask — is Puff actually cooked or just the latest distraction?
 
Then we slide into the firestorm out West. The LA Riots have reignited, and Trump’s calling in the National Guard. Riot or resistance? Plus, his new executive order could flip public housing on its head by 2026 — is this a setup for the hood or a step forward?
 
Next, we take a breath and reflect on some real progress. Black men today are breaking generational curses left and right — from fatherhood to finance. Let’s talk about the wins we don’t celebrate enough.
And finally, Tyler Perry’s latest flick just dropped, but is he still the people’s champ or stuck in his own formula? We debate his legacy, revisit our Top 5 Black films of all time, and keep it 100 on where Black cinema is headed.
We wrap it all up with an 87 or 93 quickfire: if you had to give up one forever — music or movies — which one’s gotta go?

Episode 007 | Petty Support & Side-Eye Pardons

The crew is back and it gets spicy early. Offset says he wants spousal support from Cardi B — is he foul or fair? As a man, would you ever ask your ex-wife for support? Then we ask: post-breakup, who’s really more up — Cardi & Offset or Kash Doll & Tracy T?
Then we get into Stefon Diggs catching heat for possible drugs on a boat. Should teams mind their business, or do players need to move smarter off the field? Be real — if you were in your 20's, in the league, with millions and clout… would you be chilling or wildin’?
Later, we break down Trump’s latest wave of pardons. Should NBA YoungBoy have been on the list? What about Larry Hoover? And with talk of mass deportations and cuts to the TPS program — is this really about border control, or something bigger?
We close it out with a real convo: “Am I doing enough?” That constant pressure to hustle, provide, and be the man of the house — even when everything looks okay. How it hits your mood, your sleep, and your self-worth.
Plus, this week’s 87 or 93: Is it ever okay to date someone who still lives with their ex?

The crew is back and it’s pressure-packed from the jump. We dive into the Pap vs Remy saga — is Pap wrong for airing out marital secrets or just matching Remy’s energy? And should your new boo ever get involved in your old drama?
Then we get into Travis Hunter’s wedding: T.O. and Donovan say no prenup, no peace — but is young love ever really prepared for backlash? We talk loyalty, maturity, and when outsiders think they know what’s best for your relationship.
From there, it’s all about support — does it really hit harder when it comes from strangers? And why do the people closest to you sometimes move the quietest?
We close with the Karmelo Anthony case — was it self-defense or something deeper? Should Texas be charging a teen as an adult, or is that a step too far?
And of course, we end with a quickfire 87 or 93: What are the two movies everybody must watch in their lifetime? And which era really gave us the better classics?

Episode 002 | Shannon, Shedeur & The Bag

The crew is back and we’ve got a guest, Gi Golden Child, locked with us for this week. First we go in on the Shannon Sharpe situation — accusations, age gaps, and agendas. Did Unc cross a line, or is this a setup gone viral? We get into the peer backlash from Stephen A. and Wiley, then ask — do brands still stand with Shannon, or is this the end of an era?
Then we pivot to Shedeur Sanders: 5th round pick, heavy expectations. Was this a reality check, a teaching moment, or just flat-out disrespect? And what’s next for Prime’s son — Is backup life his future or is a comeback brewing?
