  • Episode 66: It's Billboards Fault!
    Jun 23 2025

    In Episode 66, we’re diving into a packed week of music, sports, and culture! We kick things off with a deep dive into Billboard’s controversial list of the greatest R&B singers—who made the cut, who got snubbed, and our personal takes.

    Then we shift to the WNBA, where Caitlin Clark has been on an absolute tear, racking up multiple 30-point games and making her case as one of the league’s rising stars. Plus, Angel Reese just recorded her first triple-double, and we’re talking about what that means for her future and the league overall.

    On the music side, Pusha T is back with some subliminal (and not-so-subliminal) shots at Travis Scott—we break down the bars and the backstory behind their tension.

    All that, plus other trending topics, hot takes, and some laughs along the way. Tap in and join the convo!
