This week’s episode kicks off with an ice breaker that sets the tone early and sparks a real conversation around relationships — the origin of the title “Head Start.”

From there, this is pretty much a music Pod!! We recap the Tyrese vs Tank debate, tap into a conversation around the President of BBW, and get into a producer conversation with Mouse vs Mannie Fresh. We also introduce a new segment — “1 Gotta Go” — that brings some tough choices to the table.

On the music side, we break down Kanye’s Bully album, talk about Stove God Cooks & Fetty, and discuss the challenge of finding new music in today’s landscape.

The conversation shifts into real-life with a deeper dive into self-awareness and accountability, before getting into a debate around Hall of Fame criteria.

We also hit on sports topics including NFL replacement refs making a return, the WNBA’s new bargaining agreement, and updates from the NCAA Tournament (men’s & women’s). We close things out with a classic debate sparked by MJ — is there really no such thing as a GOAT?

From relationships—music—sports, this one covers it all. Tap in🎧🔥

Teonny taps in with us to break down the latest in the culture, including the buzz around Cardi B & Stefon Diggs, the Rihanna news, and other stories shaking up the music industry.

On the local side, we recap the Tioga vs ASH matchup and break down the playoff picture as ASH, Peabody, and Marksville advance to the Final Four.

We wrap things up with a few culture conversations — including the Top 5 richest women list, thoughts on Chris Brown, and whether the T.I. vs 50 Cent back-and-forth has gone too far. The night ends with a wild Magic City / Atlanta Hawks story that inspired the title of the episode and a real conversation about managing female friendships while in a relationship.

Ep. 90 is LIVE 🎙️❄️🔥

A snowstorm came and went, so we tapped in and covered everything from the football field to everything else in our world.

We open with winter chaos before asking the wild question — how is Bill Belichick not a first-ballot Hall of Famer? From there, it’s Super Bowl matchup talk, Shedeur showing out at the Pro Bowl, and a tough outing for CJ Stroud and Josh Allen. NFL news stays hot with the Bills moving on from McDermott and promoting Joe Brady, plus coaching hires around the league.

Music talk sets the stage for an interesting J. Cole conversation, as his new album “The Fall-Off” is set to drop on 2•6•26, and new music drops from Ari Lennox and A$AP Rocky.

We also take time to reflect — Derrick Rose jersey retirement, remembering Kobe & Gigi Bryant, before closing with local high school hoops as Tioga (20-4) faces off against Peabody (23-1) this Friday at the Emerald Palace.

Snowfall, Super Bowl, and Music…where else can you get all of this!
