SWWP #40 - Racist Tweets, The Lourve Robbery & White House Construction Oct 21, 2025

Welcome back everyone! Before we get to today's topics, I take a bit of time to respond to another jab thrown my way. It's been a while, it's fun to regurgitate the same jokes! In more old news, Tyler The Creator is being targeted for tweets from over 15 years ago. Meanwhile, artifacts from hundreds of years ago have been stolen from the Louvre. Stateside, the $250 million construction on the White House has begun. This robbery reminded me of a movie I recently saw, 'Roofman'. I also discuss another film I saw this past week and offer a part of a conversation with a friend going through an existential crisis. Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

SWWP #39 - Drake Lawsuit Dropped & Diddy Sentencing Oct 14, 2025

From Madison Square Garden right to the podcast chair. I stepped out to watch my Knicks get embarrassed tonight, but did witness one of the greatest games of Tic-Tac-Toe. After brief Knicks talk, I dive into Drake's lawsuit being dismissed. What is next for The Boy? We'll see in the near future. In more music news, Diddy was hit with an underwhelming sentence. Yet another example of the rich/powerful having their way. It's been a while since I went to the theaters and my most recent visit did not disappoint. I finally saw 'One Battle After Another' - stay tuned for my review. Also, stick around to the end of the episode to hear experience modeling a fancy coat brand in Upstate NY, what I'm cooking these days, and more!

SWWP #38 - The Women Are Fighting Oct 07, 2025

Move over Drake and Kendrick, it's time for the women to beef. Cardi B & Nicki Minaj reignite their ongoing feud and, as always, it gets personal. In white music beef, Taylor Swift takes a shot at Charli XCX. Yes, I listened to Taylor's new album. It was painful. Moving away from music, but staying in altercations, Mark Sanchez attacked an older man and has left political pundits unsure of how to speak on this gruesome incident. I breakdown a recent shift in my approach to expenses and honoring my emotions. We end on Greta Thunberg being detained after her Flotilla mission was intercepted and the active push by that gov't to buy media and change the narrative. Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

SWWP #37 - Doja Cat Party & Bad Bunny Super Bowl Sep 30, 2025

Welcome back everyone! Reporting late from NYC. I was outside tonight having a disco with Doja Cat for her new album, Vie. We stay on music with the biggest announcement of the week, Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl (the DEI bowl). I'm very happy to return to a music conversation this episode and of course, I do have to offer a perspective on a few social/political topics as well, but through the lens of optimism!

SWWP #36 - UFC White House & Other Distractions Sep 23, 2025

Do you feel exhausted and distracted? Are you starting to feel like that's the point?, well me too. This week's distraction is brought to you by the rendering of the UFC White House slated for next year. This is exactly the files the people want - no other files come to mind. The UFC-adjacent event, Charlie Kirk's funeral, poses as another opportunity for divisive rhetoric. I end on a lighter note sharing my experience this past weekend going to a Big 10 college football game, Rutgers v.s. Iowa. Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

SWWP #35 - Charlie Kirk's Killing: What Should We Expect Next? (Feat. Mom) Sep 16, 2025

Reporting live from my parents’ home in Upstate New York, I kick things off on a celebratory note. My dad was recently inducted into yet another Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in Track & Field and Basketball. This one being especially meaningful to him. I’m joined by my mom for this late-night recording to discuss the political climate following the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. With her perspective, shaped by growing up in the 60s and living through periods of civil unrest, she helps ground the conversation, offering clarity amidst the chaos. Rather than focusing only on the day of the incident, we explore how we arrived at this moment and where things may head from here. As always, recording these conversations with my mom is something I treasure, and I’m grateful to share them with you. Our talk, true to form, closes with a hopeful call to action. Tune in for a thoughtful, heartfelt discussion that blends personal reflection, historical perspective, and optimism for the future.

SWWP #34 - Iceman 3, Young Thug Apologizes, VMA's & More Sep 09, 2025

Welcome back to another busy week in music and culture. Drake’s Iceman 3 stream didn’t quite hit the mark. I break down what worked, what didn’t, and how he can step it up next time. In Atlanta, Young Thug is working to get back in the good graces of the internet after more recordings surfaced. The VMAs came and went, while Justin Bieber gave us another surprise drop, SWAG 2.

On the sports side, the US Open wrapped up and we may be witnessing the dawn of a new era of greatness in tennis. I close today’s episode by paying condolences to someone who helped me get my start at Hot 97. Tune in for all this and more!

SWWP #33 - Young Thug Leaks & Hot 97's DJ Enuff Gets Fired Sep 02, 2025

☎️ Wanna be part of the show? Call 877-557-SWWP and leave a voicemail to get advice!

We are back with tons of beef (pause). We start with Young Thug and the recent leaked testimony and phone calls. The future of Atlanta rap seems to be getting more fractured by the week. Then we pivot to some local drama. DJ Enuff is fired from Hot 97 and Funk Flex seems to be the reason for his sudden departure. I share my personal experience with DJ Enuff from my time contributing to Hot 97. When I think of the OG's in Hip-Hop there's one rapper that's top of mind, Trippie Redd. I discuss his recent clip of him saying every new artist wants to copy the aura of 2017. Let's briefly touch on politics. Is he did or not? These are the questions we definitely should be asking a sitting US president. Anyway, I love tennis - I talk through some of the recent highlights (Coco Gauff v.s. Naomi Osaka) of the ongoing US Open. I share how the impact of minority players will build for a better future. I end with a shoulder update (I can lift again) and do a weekend recap that ends with me meeting some listeners in the streets of NY. Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

SWWP #32 - Jussie Smollett Netflix Doc and Drake's Obsession With Tupac Aug 26, 2025

☎️ Wanna be part of the show? Call 877-557-SWWP and leave a voicemail to get advice!

I started recording immediately after watching the Jussie Smollett Documentary. I begin with talking through the hypocrisy of both the Chicago Police Department and Jussie. Then I pivot to Drake's obsession with Tupac's jewelry after recently acquiring his 'Death Row' chain. I make time to talk about the movies I saw this week, 'Relay' and 'Honey, Dont!' Who needs to be told not to order shrimp from Walmart? Well if you needed an official reason now you have one. There's a bad batch going around. This leads to me sharing how I've been in my cooking bag lately. I share some very simple recipes that I've been making over the past couple weeks. In awful news, it's time to talk about Raja Jackson, the son of Rampage Jackson, after his assault during a livestreamed wresting match. Let's talk Trump's hand - are we getting closer? (fingers crossed) I talk through the new music that I played over the weekend this past Saturday for a park day with friends. I end with a brief update on a few things including my recent modeling gig. Tune in for all of this + more!

SWWP #31 - 'Together', Chance's Comeback, Offset's Therapy Rollout Aug 19, 2025

☎️ Wanna be part of the show? Call 877-557-SWWP and leave a voicemail to get advice!

"And we will live together. Until the 12th of never. Our voices will ring forever, as oneeeeee" There's a theme for today's episode and that is togetherness. This is top of mind because I saw the film 'Together' over the weekend. This segues into Offset's album rollout and a recent thought I had. I pontificate on the authenticity of Offset's therapy-inspired teaser. Then I discuss Chance's 'Star Line'. A great album welcoming Chance back into the good graces of music fans. I recount a dinner I had that led to a big name drop from this weekend. I cover instagram's new maps feature, the girl that destroyed her ex's car with glitter & salt, and Gavin Newsom doing his best Trump impression. I close with my latest learnings from therapy.

With my basketball and lifting days on pause (thanks, separated shoulder), I’ve been roaming the city streets and watching movies. Follow my cinematic spiral on Letterboxd (@invsblereviews). This episode, I dive into Eddington & Weapons. In music, I break down JID and Bryson Tiller’s new albums, reaffirm that Clipse still owns the summer, and crown my official “Rapper of the Summer.” We’ve been spoiled with art lately, but I close on a heavier note, honoring journalists recently targeted in G*za and discussing the ongoing fight to protect the truth coming from that region.

☎️ Wanna be part of the show? Call 877-557-SWWP and leave a voicemail to get advice!

Welcome back! This week I’m joined by a fellow brown boy, Pakistani AI expert Raph No Simmons — and we’re off to a rolling start. We kick things off with a story about a girl we both used to see, and somehow that spirals into our shared love of 9/11 memes (don't ask, just listen). From there, we dive deep into Uber culture, bot farms, and how politicians weaponize social media to manipulate public opinion. Then we break down the Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle backlash, how it got hijacked by Trump on Truth Social, and what that says about the current state of influence. That takes us into a broader convo about morality, AI ethics, and digital manipulation — including a story from my time at Atlantic Records, where I helped build a fake-it-til-you-make-it campaign that worked. Raph closes it out with a wild college story about how a stupid nickname almost got him and his boys kicked off campus. Tune in as we discuss all of this + more!

☎️ Wanna be part of the show? Call 877-557-SWWP and leave a voicemail to get advice!

I’m back after a wild weekend, nothing kicks off a chaotic few nights like unexpectedly running into your ex - then catching your friends on tour at a live podcast show (shoutout to the 'You Should Know' team). Amid all the partying, I ended up having one of the most reflective weekends I’ve had in a while. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper week in music without talking about Drake. He’s back (again), this time with a new single featuring Central Cee and another livestream. Then we get into some legal drama: GloRilla was arrested shortly after her home was burglarized—a story that took me back to the time my apartment in Chicago got broken into. We wrap up today with some movie talk: I just saw the new Superman movie and I’ve got thoughts about how the story mirrored the current political climate. And expect a lot more film reviews— I finally caved and bought the Regal Unlimited Movie Pass. Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

Welcome back after a long holiday weekend. There's no time for the pleasantries of recapping the weekend, we can save that for later. I have some criticism for Drake's latest single "What Did I Miss?" Does Drake have the stink? Staying in music, but pivoting to global-political news, Bob Vylan has become the villain of the establishment. We're seeing a takedown like no other as hundreds continue to parish while trying to receive aid. I provide a historical breakdown of musicians using live festivals as an opportunity to protest wars. I return to voicemails today with a fun one. Can you take your new girlfriend to a beach where you vacationed with an ex? Tune in as I discuss all of this + more!

☎️ Wanna be part of the show? Call 877-557-SWWP and leave a voicemail to get advice!

Today we're joined by a few fiends, Bas and The Hics. They're fresh off the release of their collaborative album 'Melanchronica'. We start with how Sam & Roxanne first met at an arts high school and how Bas (while on acid) connected with them during a J. Cole tour in Europe. They reminisce on recording their early collaborative records and how recording together has evolved over the years. They share what they wants listeners to feel this new album and making music that evolves with their personal growth. Bas shares a story about "Everyday People" and how his brother DJ Moma literally let Nas down. Sam shares how the hook for this song "I just want to f*ck no more fighting" was a tough lyric for his grandmother to hear. They share how family can influence how they express themselves through music. They share what music they listened to growing up and how video games (GTA) was a game where we all learned older music. They share which music genre they'd like to explore next. We get into the division of Bas & Sam's football (soccer) clubs, PSG v.s. Arsenal. This leads to a history lesson from the beef with the French and the origin of the cockney accent. Bas and I share our South African acid trip story and following the hyenas in the den. Sam and I take a bathroom, but Bas and Roxanne kept it rolling - Bas shares his DJ career aspirations as DJ BOMA. When I return we discuss our favorite films and English bathroom culture. We end by returning to the album and how through all the darkness there is hope and the opportunity for light to shine through, Tune in as Bas, Roxanne, Sam and I discuss all of this + more!

I'm back in the big apple, aka the home of 9/11 the place of the lost towers. We come in real hot with politics. Kings suck, and the rest of the country seems to be on board with that assertion - the problem is our current administration doesn't care. Stepping outside of civil unrest and stepping into geo-political conflict (which we're also somehow also involved) Iran retaliates to Israel's strikes. In hiphop news, the conflict continues - Kendrick conquered Canada for a weekend leading Drake to take subtle jabs on social media. Then I talk about the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals, & an upcoming weekend full of concerts with the fam. Tune in for all of this + more! Happy Father's Day

SWWP #14 - The New York Sports Guy & Content Entrepreneur (feat. Alex Day) Apr 22, 2025

We're coming at you today with a sports talk heavy episode featuring my friend, Alex Day a.k.a. The NY Sports Guy. Alex shares with us which sports athletes has the best personality type for an interview. Then we dive right into baseball controversy. Are the Yankees cheating and why does the sport's popularity continue to decline?

We share how we met at J Cole's '2014 Forest Hills Dr' Anniversary show and how Alex had a football conversation with JID.

SWWP #12 - Soft Spot, Producing For Kendrick, Staying Independent (feat. JMSN) Apr 08, 2025

☎️ Wanna be part of the show? Call 877-557-SWWP and leave a voicemail to get advice!

We're back for the second installment of SWWP West Coast Edition. For those that don't know, JMSN has been one of my favorite artists since the early 2010's. He's cemented a spot in my personal top 5. Coming from teaching on the Southside and attending his show as a fan in 2017 to having the opportunity to hangout/record a podcast together means a lot. (chase your goals) Anyway, let's get to it. JMSN shares how he embraces the corniness of being an artist and how his viral hit "Soft Spot" was originally supposed to be a movie with an insane plot. He then shares how he produced for Kendrick, which led to an unreleased album with Ab Soul. We get into the details of his writing process, how he attempted to get Snoop Dogg on a song, and how Sada Baby ended up on the "Soft Spot" remix. We talk about how today's music is stale and how his new album aims to shake it up. JMSN goes on a brief rant about the victim mentality and why he chose to remain independent. Also, how middle school bullies fuel his career. We go over his best written music and his top 3 rappers (which will shock you). It's time for voicemails. We get into two calls today that bring a lot of laughs. Tune in for all of this + more. I really hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did recording it!

☎️ Wanna be part of the show? Call 877-557-SWWP and leave a voicemail to get advice!

We're live from SWWP West Coast Edition and today I'm joined by singer, songwriter, activist, and viral coffee sensation Takara. Takara and I met a couple weeks ago at SXSW. We start with some Australian slang and culture. Then Takara takes us through the racism between America & Australia. This leads to a story of how an awful date thrusted her into the news which led to her becoming an activist during the BLM movement. We briefly talk about geopolitics. We discuss her IG account @coffeetakara and how this became a copycat trend and how that's helped her grow as an artist. Then she shares how she leverages Only Fans to promote her career. We discuss the dangers of the art of pole dancing, the K Pop craze, and the latest season of White Lotus. It's time for voicemails! Today we give advice to a guy that lost his girl due to a high s*x drive. Tune in for all of this + more

Hey Everyone. I'm back briefly in NY before flying off to LA. I begin today's episode no different than any other...with an ice bath. We get into the newest character of the super-jacked manosphere, Ashton Hall. I go over his very extensive morning routine, while sharing some history of Saratoga water. We're in the thick of March Madness and McNeese State basketball manager Amir Khan has dominated the timeline. In film news, the remake of 'Snow White' is tanking while Epcot is during. I cover the many ways to hate the remake of a Disney classic. It's time for a voicemail. This episode I thought it'd be appropriate to have some help. My mom calls in to offer advice the way in which only a mother could. Tune in to hear all of this and more! Special thank you to everyone for being here for 10 weeks.

We're back after a very busy week down in Austin, TX way. I detail the absurdity of hanging with some of my favorite comedians (Shane Gillis, Tom Segura, Bert Kreischer, Tony Hinchcliffe & more). Then we pivot to the music world. I caught JMSN at a showcase, and BLK ODYSSY, Duckwrth. The week went so well it may have changed my perception of Texas (a bit). Let's talk love. Bill Belichick and his rent-a-bride were seen holding long yoga poses on the beach for spring break. We turn to the biggest headline of the week to discuss the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

SWWP #8 - Travel Plans With Casey Anthony Mar 11, 2025

Welcome back. We got a real hangout today. I power through a hangover after enduring the NYC winds to spend $30 on a bagel & coffee. This leads to a few food hacks and cooking habits. For the first time in 4 years I'm looking for a new apartment, but before that I'm going down to Texas for SXSW. I reflect on last year's Dreamvillefest and plan for the final one in a month. My pod wife was under fire from the 6 God. In women's international news Casey Anthony is back in the spotlight! This time not for unaliving a child (at least not yet) The NBA is in shambles. LeBron presses Stephen A. Smith over Bronny. In women's hoop, Caitlyn Clark is jacked and Juju Watkins is the future. Today's voicemail is helping someone hopefully begin their journey in the modeling industry. Tune in for all of this + more!

SWWP #7 - DOGE, Political Anxiety, Gooner Goon Mar 04, 2025

This week we're met with mixed emotions. The political climate makes way for some uncomfortable conversations. Today, I start by sharing how the DOGE cuts, targeted cuts at Veterans Affairs, are affecting someone I know personally. Then we have to discuss the latest on the Epstein flight logs (still waiting for the real info to drop) We stay in politics to discuss Trump & JD Vance's awkward meeting with Zelenskyy and Trump's bizarre AI generated video for his future plans for Gaza. On the other side of the aisle the Democrats need to shake things up. Enough politics, who cancels a sold out tour? I discuss why Drake would chose to do so. In more Drake news, he's come to an undisclosed settlement with iHeart Radio. It's time for voicemails. Today we have someone call in about his "gooner behavior" & another caller asking about how to gas light someone into liking them. Tune in for all of this + more!

I discuss the viral clip of him and former President Obama. Speaking of presidents, when will Trump dump Elon Musk? I explain how Elon is going to hurt Trump's political aspirations.

SWWP #5 - Dating, Kanye/Drake, & Clay/AD Reunion (Feat. Clay Gravesande) Feb 18, 2025

We're starting this week with our first on camera guest! It's our good friend Clay from 'Love is Blind'. Like any good friends we pick up right where we left off. Clay gives us some insight on the latest season of 'Love Is Blind', but is quickly sidetracked by escort culture. This leads to a conversation about hookup culture, unfaithfulness, and cost of living/creating a family. Then we get into a few political conspiracies. I ask Clay his thoughts about Drake, which leads to a discussion about Kanye's recent outbursts and consequences. We briefly touch on our collegiate athlete experiences before talking about 'Love Is Blind' predictions and Clay's first time seeing AD since their reunion! It's time for voicemails. We cover women getting ghosted, a man struggling to remain faithful after a glow up, and a caller going through a health emergency getting back on his feet (literally).

SWWP #4 - Kendrick Calls 'Game Over' & Kanye's X Rant Feb 11, 2025

It's been back-to-back entertaining weekends. Kanye is back (unfortunately) and like most people that have lost their creative edge he's using hate to mobilize his audience. I breakdown the ramifications of these actions not only for Ye himself, but his family as well. Then we pivot to the biggest moment of the weekend, Kendrick's halftime show. I discuss the metaphors/symbolism at play and give a critique of the performance itself. MONTOYA POR FAVOR!! The most fun story on the internet was watching poor Montoya get cheated on a Spanish Reality TV show. It's time for voicemails. We help give a caller advice that's stuck in a love triangle. Then I give some career advice for a caller suffering from "imposter syndrome". Tune in for all of this + more!

SWWP #3 - Relapsing To The Weeknd (Dry January) & Falling Planes Feb 04, 2025

Dry January is officially over! Congrats to all who partook. I give a recap on my first drinkless month. This experience combined with listening to the Weeknd's new album 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' sends me down a dark memory lane. While giving an album review/song breakdown, I detail my heavy d*ug use days in Chicago and the influence The Weeknd had on my during those years. I'm excited to welcome my first guest on the podcast. He'd like to remain anonymous (for now) but know this is someone in my family. We discuss the implications behind the recent plane crashes in D.C. and Philly. This turns into a discussion about Elon Musk's involvement with the government and other elected officials. The voicemails today are some of my favorite mostly because it was great having my guest provide some advice. We cover topics from giving advice to a "friend" about their unhealthy s*xual habits, a Valentine's Day date dilemma, work potlucks, and how to manage being the side dude in a relationship.

SWWP #2 - Community Building Jan 28, 2025

Welcome back everyone...it's been a long week. Today we begin by giving one of my favorite artist's his flowers, Mac Miller. Then I pen a letter to the people keeping it positive in the community. Let's talk sports. I cover the insane NFL Championship Weekend and prepare for another Swiftiebowl. Then I take time to address some personal drama over the weekend. On Sunday night I joined a Spaces hosted by Joe Budden, We had a brief conversation to which I thought nothing of, but clearly I was mistaken. I woke up the following morning to a plethora of think pieces. I then spent the morning writing my thoughts on the manner that you hear today. To lighten the mood we get into a handful of really exciting voicemails. We cover topics from funky breath in the workplace, dating a man with tism, relapsing to a bad habit, juggling more than one women/dating app culture, and dating within your profession.
