In this episode of Homeroom with Smooth podcast “Sick of It,” the host celebrates Disney canceling the Star Wars series The Acolyte, arguing the acting wasn't the issue but the writing lacked direction, ignored lore, overfocused on subplots and sexuality, and failed to build character motivation; he says only Rogue One and The Clone Wars got Star Wars right. He then reads and reacts to court-document allegations in a New Jersey civil lawsuit against DJ Akademiks, noting police previously reviewed surveillance footage and didn't file criminal charges, questioning the narrative while acknowledging bruising allegations and discussing the lower civil burden of proof. He criticizes Akademiks for leaking Drake info, gives brief opinions on Drake's recent releases, attacks Joe Budden for constantly bringing up Drake, and addresses rumors about Melissa Ford. He closes with strong support for voting Democratic (Kamala Harris) and rejection of Trump, citing January 6 and related claims.

They then discuss Michael Rubin's comments pushing back on jokes calling Meek Mill and Rubin gay and his point about “black on black hate,” debating whether Rubin is the right messenger and discussing cultural attacks and identity. The hosts shift to monkeypox (mpox), urging safer sex, noting most cases are sexually transmitted and referencing vaccines and education, plus spread linked to travel and outbreaks in parts of Africa. Finally, they criticize Detroit Judge Kenneth King for handcuffing and putting a sleeping 16-year-old on a field trip in jail attire, later revealed to be sleep-deprived due to housing instability, and note he was temporarily removed pending investigation and ordered to sensitivity training.

In episode 335 of the Homeroom Smooth Podcast, the hosts argue against treating celebrities as role models, discussing Cardi B's comments admitting she used to drug, sexually assault men, and rob them, and saying she'd do it again, and contrasting how backlash would differ if genders were reversed. They also critique a clip of Kodak Black addressing a youth football team while holding a bottle and appearing to promote harmful norms, including saying not to do drugs because kids would “like them.” The conversation shifts to politics, praising Kamala Harris's VP pick Tim Walz as a strong, midwestern-leaning Democrat with military and teaching experience, and criticizing attacks on his service record while calling for age caps for politicians. They end by discussing Team USA's Olympic basketball comeback, international play styles, and other sports and culture notes.
