This week, pardon the audio issues but we’re starting off hot reacting to Odell Beckham Jr. saying it’s “super hard” to live off a 5-year, $100M contract. After taxes, houses, cars, and helping family… is he exposing real financial-literacy gaps in pro sports? Or is this just millionaire problems disguised as struggle talk? And is the money problem deeper for Black athletes — or is it a whole-league issue nobody wants to admit? From there, we’re stepping straight into holiday season chaos. Trevone Boykin says Thanksgiving at Russell Wilson’s mansion felt “weird” — no family, no vibe, just luxury and silence. So what’s the real holiday etiquette? Can you critique the food? Is it okay to slide through your ex’s family dinner because y’all are still cool? Or is that just toxic community service? Next up, we tackle 50 Cent vs. Diddy — The Reckoning. Is 50 actually standing up for victims… or weaponizing trolling at a historic level? Would the culture have stayed quiet about Diddy if 50 didn’t force the conversation into the spotlight? And is Diddy calling the Netflix series a “shameful hit piece” valid — or just what happens when a mogul loses control of his own narrative? Then we dive into Trump’s new “Reverse Migration” plan — pausing immigration and revoking status. With Haiti in crisis, ending TPS could put nearly half a million people in danger. Are immigrants really behind crime, housing shortages, and “social dysfunction,” or is this textbook political scapegoating? And would mass deportations fix anything — or crash the economy overnight? After that, it’s back to the fight game. Terence Crawford wants $100M for a Canelo rematch — superstar pricing or delusional math? Would Canelo even entertain it, or is Bud pricing himself out on purpose? And while Usyk eyes a Wilder fight… is that a legacy move or a money chase dressed up as ambition? We close with a somber reaction to the tragic mass shooting at a child’s birthday party in Stockton, California — 4 dead, 10 injured. Targeted violence, families devastated, and another painful reminder of how fragile normal life really is. And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire: Would you rather cuff: A woman with 1,000 bodies, OR A woman who let two of your homeboys clap? Premium laughs. Real takes only. Welcome to The 8793 Podcast.

This week the guys are back and we’re starting off spicy reacting to the Brandy & Monica R&B tour — whose catalog is really stamped in history, and who do we need to see hit the stage next? Then we get into Haiti qualifying for the 2026 World Cup… but is it really a win when the Trump travel ban puts Haitian and Iranian families in the shadows? Who gets celebrated, and who gets restricted when global stages meet politics? From there, we dive into leaked Summer Walker audio and “side chick” energy — is choosing to be the other woman real self-awareness, or trauma dressed up as honesty? Are women tired of being the main and finally admitting they want less pressure, less responsibility, and fewer expectations? Next, we break down the collapse of nightlife — clubs going broke, men falling back, and nobody wanting to say the quiet part out loud. Did men abandon the culture, or did entitlement and modern dating turn the club into a bad investment? Then we tap into boxing — is Devin Haney on a redemption run or is his career hanging by a thread? Why does he get more hate than respect, and if he loses again, is it really over for him as an elite name? We close the topics with Zohran Mamdani meeting Donald Trump at the White House — with both sides claiming it was “productive,” are we being played by fake political beef just in time for the holidays? And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire: Would you rather have wealth with no peace or peace with no wealth?   Premium laughs. Real takes only. Welcome to The 8793 Podcast.

This week, we’re picking up right where we left off — starting with Salt-N-Pepa & OutKast officially being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Two legendary groups, two very different legacies… but did hip-hop finally get the respect it’s owed? From there, we get into Nicki Minaj taking the podium at a U.N. event to speak on violence against Christians in Nigeria. Is Nicki stepping into global activism for real… or is the political world using her influence more than she realizes? Next up — we dive into this week’s cultural lightning rod: Klay Thompson vs. Pat Bev. Klay finally snaps after Pat Bev & Jason Williams comment on Megan Thee Stallion — is this standing on business, or built-up frustration from his on-court slump? And what would you do if a coworker talked about your girl publicly for clout? Plus — Pat Bev’s arrest after an 18-year-old was found alone with his underaged sister… we break the whole situation down. Then we shift into comedy: Kevin Hart has a new special coming — but instead of asking, “Is Kevin still funny?”, we want to know: who are your go-to comedians NOW? Are we in a new comedy era run by social media talent, or do the legends we grew up on still hit the hardest? After that, we get into one of the biggest political debates online right now: 23,000 Epstein emails drop, a new “No Tax on Tips, OT, or Social Security” law gets signed, and Trump is right in the middle of it all. Is the timing coincidence… or distraction? And how do these new laws actually affect the Black community long-term? Finally — we close with boxing headlines: Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua is officially set for December 19th in Florida. Is Jake stepping way out of his league, or is this the fight that could flip the entire boxing world upside down? And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire, we’re matchmaking comedians: Dave Chappelle vs Chris Rock Katt Williams vs Kevin Hart Bernie Mac vs Eddie Murphy Mike Epps vs DC Young Fly Bill Burr vs Andrew Schulz Who’s really funnier?

This week, we’re kicking things off with The Wave God himself — Max B is finally home after 16 years behind bars. The Harlem legend’s release has the internet in a frenzy, with hip-hop showing love to one of the most influential voices of the blog era. The culture’s celebrating a legend who influenced a whole sound before streaming even existed. Is he getting the flowers he always deserved? Then we dive into the rumors of Damson Idris taking over as the new Black Panther — could he really pull off T’Challa, or is Marvel forcing a reboot nobody asked for? From there, we get into Kanye West’s public apology to a Rabbi for his past antisemitic remarks — is this a genuine moment of growth, or just another PR redemption arc before the next Yeezy rollout? And can mental health explain away hate, or are some lines you can’t un-cross? Next up, we break down Trump’s promise of a “$2,000 Tariff Dividend” for all Americans except the wealthy. Is this a real plan or just another campaign stunt dressed up as economics? And does it actually help working-class families, or just give us back the money inflation already took? Then we step into the ring — Shakur Stevenson vs. Teofimo Lopez is official for January 31st in NYC. Who really wants it more: the defensive technician or the pressure fighter with something to prove? And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire: If your friend is stuck in a toxic relationship — do you step in or mind your business? Premium laughs. Real takes only. Welcome to The 8793 Podcast. Fueled by #TheAwkwardGeniusNetwork Follow our YouTube for new episodes weekly. #8793Podcast

This week, we’re kicking things off with a bold one — Jay-Z says no rapper alive can stand on stage with him. Is Hov right? Can anyone — Drake, Wayne, or Kanye — go hit-for-hit? Or has he reached that “untouchable” status where no one even bothers to try? Then we react to the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta “Tank” Davis fight being canceled — was this about business, fear, or fair pay? And speaking of pay… should Dana White finally start cutting his fighters bigger checks? Next up — “No EBT November” just got real. With SNAP benefits halted for 42 million Americans, we ask: how did we get here? What does it say about America when feeding families becomes a political game? And are we ready to admit some people actually need that help? Finally, we tap in with Karrine “Superhead” Steffans’ viral take — that men should marry the whre.* Is she keeping it real about men ignoring the women who actually please them? Or is this just social media shock value dressed as “truth”? And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire: Would you rather know everyone’s thoughts for 24 hours — or have everyone know yours? Premium laughs.

First things first, this week, the guys give respects to the long-awaited return of Verzuz — live from ComplexCon Las Vegas. Cash Money vs. No Limit turned into a full-blown celebration of New Orleans rap history, with Mia X stealing the show as the night’s MVP. We break down the best rounds, most slept-on records, and who really walked away with the crown. From there, we get into the NBA Gambling Scandal — and ask why Black players are being spotlighted more than the real masterminds behind the scenes. Should gambling or game-fixing be an instant Hall of Fame disqualifier? And can fans still trust the integrity of the league? Then we shift to politics, diving into the New York Mayoral Election and how it could influence national politics. Can voters really buy what Zohran Mamdani is selling, or is this just another political performance piece? Next up: Netflix’s The Perfect Neighbor. Does it shine a light on how badly America handles race and conflict — or is it another project profiting off Black pain? And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire: Which brand defined a clothing era more — Rocawear or G-Unit Clothing? Phat Farm or FUBU Platinum? Premium laughs. Real takes only. Welcome to The 8793 Podcast.

This week, the squad kicks things off reacting to Verzuz officially returning — live from ComplexCon Las Vegas — with Cash Money vs No Limit on one stage. Two legendary labels, one night of history in the making. Who really had the bigger run, and which catalog wins when the smoke clears? From there, we shift to Kevin McCall, who broke down while revealing he’s on EBT despite writing songs for Chris Brown, who just cleared millions from his tour. Is this proof the music industry is broken — or another case of bad business decisions catching up? Then we dive into Snoop Dogg’s ‘Doggyland’ controversy — his children’s song and cartoon which are now featuring same-s*x couples, months after he said Disney’s inclusivity “made him scared to go to the movies.” Did Snoop get that call and fold under pressure, or is this growth and inclusivity in real time? Next up: What Roles Should Black Actors Reject — Art, Integrity, or a Check? We ask if turning down roles that reinforce stereotypes protects the culture — or just costs you a bag. And are we holding Black talent to higher moral standards than the industry itself? Then, OpenAI bans Martin Luther King Jr. AI videos after “disrespectful depictions” surface online. Should we be allowed to AI-generate historic figures, or is that a moral line that shouldn’t be crossed? We close out with the Weekend Sports Wrap-Up — college football chaos as playoff races heat up, and Alex Pereira teases a move to boxing after dominating the UFC. Can he really make that crossover work? And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire: If your partner suddenly became a billionaire… do you think they’d change on you?   Premium laughs. Real takes only.

This week, we’re starting off hot reacting to Joe Rogan’s viral comments on Trump’s immigration policies — is it compassion or politics when empathy meets enforcement? From there, we dive into religion — what are your real thoughts on it? Should scripture only be read one way, or does your personal journey reshape what it means? And is this why so many people call themselves spiritual instead of religious — because religion feels like a test instead of a connection? Next up, we get into love as a contract. What if long-term relationships came with built-in “exit windows”? Is loyalty unconditional — or an evolving agreement that sometimes deserves a clean break? Then we tackle The Government Shutdown: what’s really going down in the Black community? How do shutdowns hit federal workers, small business owners, and families who rely on healthcare and food programs? And what happens when the pause button hits Black progress? We close it out with this week’s 8793 Quickfire: You can only pick two — New House $10,500/month 900 Credit Score $260K Salary Retire Now $200K Cash Premium laughs. Real takes only.

This week, we got GI back with crew and we kick things off reacting to Cam Newton’s viral statement — he says he always asks women for their list of previous partners before dating them. Is that smart vetting or straight insecurity? From there, we get into Sean “Diddy” Combs’ 50-month sentence for transporting women for prostitution. Is this the end of the Diddy era, or can he actually find a path to redemption? And will hip-hop ever truly cancel one of its icons, or just wait for the next scandal? Next up, Ayesha Curry stirs controversy after admitting she never wanted kids and that Steph “didn’t understand her.” Is this a woman speaking her truth, or a sign of quiet resentment in successful marriages? Plus, would the internet react the same if a man said it? Then we move into politics — President Trump is floating $2,000 stimulus checks funded through tariff revenue. Is this a genuine move to help taxpayers or a setup to sway voters ahead of 2026? We close it out with the Weekend Sports Wrap-Up: Miami outlasts FSU 28–22 to keep the “state champs” title alive, while Alex Pereira defends his crown at UFC 320. Who’s the best team in Florida right now, and who had the better weekend — Canes Nation or fight fans?

The squad is back and this week we kick it off with Ace Hood affirming his loyalty to his wife Shelah Marie — is that growth with age or a conscious choice to change? From there, we dive into Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl. How will he compare to last year’s show, and should non-English artists be front and center for an English-speaking crowd? Plus, the crew debates who’d put on the better halftime show — Lil Wayne or Nelly. Next up, the FTC is taking on Live Nation & Ticketmaster for allegedly working with scalpers. We ask why fans still pay inflated prices, how artists and teams can protect supporters, and share the most we’ve ever dropped on a concert ticket. Then it’s Young Thug vs. YFN Lucci — both drop albums and we go track for track to see who came harder. We close it out with DoorDash’s new delivery robot. Is it a setback for the working class or a sign of real progress? And in this week’s 87 or 93: would you ever take an ex back, and what’s the craziest thing you’ve done for love that you regret? Premium laughs | Real takes only Welcome to The 8793 Podcast Fueled by #TheAwkwardGeniusNetwork Follow for new episodes weekly. #8793Podcast

This week, we kick it off with our weekend sports parlays — tickets cashed or straight L’s? Then we dive into Cardi B’s new album. Is she truly a rap artist or more of an entertainer? And Offset’s divorce demands are wild — cover his taxes, pay millions, and hand over property just to sign the papers. Is that leverage or pure finesse? Next, Young Thug & YFN Lucci are both dropping albums on the same day — with rumors of a collab. Is it a sign of progress, or a move that backfires on them both? From there, it’s Jimmy Kimmel pulled & Charlie Kirk’s tribute — did ABC show respect or fold under pressure? And was the outrage real, or just another tragedy turned into a weapon? Finally, Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis — the rules are set, the weight gap is massive. Is this fight a win for boxing, or proof the sport is drowning in exhibitions? We wrap with a fiery 87 or 93 quickfire: If your ex called to say they’re engaged — are you congratulating them, or hanging up?

This week we got GI back with us and we kick it off with Cam’ron putting Adrien Broner in check — the Dipset legend wasn’t having the disrespect toward Stat Baby, and we react to the viral fallout. Then it’s fight talk: Terence “Bud” Crawford proves once again why he’s different after another dominant win, and we break down what’s next for boxing. But the mood turns heavy with the tragic story of Romeca Meeks-Blackmon — shot outside her son’s school in Chicago in a senseless act of violence. We talk about why detaching from a toxic relationship is so difficult, especially when kids are involved. From there, we get into 5 NFL teams decision not to hold a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. With his passing making headlines, we ask: should the public even care? We wrap it all up with a ruthless 87 or 93 Quickfire: one music catalogue has to go forever — choose wisely.

This week we’re back with our guest GI and it kicks off wild — YNW Bortlen takes a plea deal and agrees to testify against YNW Melly. Is that survival or straight betrayal? And if you were in Melly’s shoes, do you take the case on your back, push for a plea, or fight it all the way? Then we flip it to growing up in the 90’s. From the moments that defined the era to the stuff we’d never bring back, we take it back to the golden years. The main heat: Young Thug finally speaks on betrayal. If your friends folded on you, could you forgive them? Did Thug clear the air or make things worse? And what does forgiveness even look like in that situation? Next up, Ciara wants to change Baby Future’s last name — is that ever okay, or is it pure disrespect to Future? We debate the line between parenting, step-parenting, and overstepping. And we close it out with a real one: why do strangers support you harder than your own friends? We break down what actual support looks like and how to keep your circle solid. Plus the 8793 Segment: Two Catalogs Got to Go — Puffy, Birdman, Jermaine Dupri, or Suge Knight. Premium laughs | Real takes only Welcome to The 8793 Podcast Fueled by #TheAwkwardGeniusNetwork Follow for new episodes weekly. #8793Podcast

The squad is all together and we kick it off with Cardi B — she beats a civil case in LA, but the internet is more focused on pregnancy rumors. We break down the clips and the reactions. Next up: Brittany Renner & PJ Washington’s baby exchange goes viral. Is Brittany oversharing, or just exposing the reality behind PJ’s image? And was PJ wrong for bringing his wife into the mix — or should Brittany just deal with it? Then we dive into Young Thug & the snitching debate. Does “snitch” even mean the same thing in 2025, or has hip-hop blurred the rules? If the allegations stick, is this the end for Thug, or will fans stand by him? We wrap with the classic question: men will date down, women rarely do. Is it biology, culture, or straight-up leverage? Plus an 87 or 93 quickfire — $10K a month doing nothing vs. $100K grinding 12-hour days.

This week we kick it off Hottt reacting to Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift’s engagement. Social media says it’s the “wife contest” of the century — but who really won, A$AP with Rihanna or Kelce with Taylor? Then we break down Tyreek Hill’s messy divorce that’s costing him over $50K a month plus a Miami mansion — is marriage even worth it or just a bad investment for men at the top? From there we dive into Jermaine Dupri saying marriage is pointless — Quincy Jones told him don’t do it, Lambos are for pulling women, and even Janet Jackson wasn’t enough to make him say “I do.” Then it’s Snoop Dogg vs. Disney after Lightyear’s LGBT scene — is he protecting the kids or just pushing outrage? We also get into Hernandez Govan being found not guilty in the Young Dolph murder case — did the jury miss it, or is this just another example of hip-hop never getting real justice? And finally, Jake Paul vs. Gervonta “Tank” Davis is set for Nov. 15 — is Jake out of his depth or is Tank risking his legacy for a payday? We close it out with a fiery 87 or 93 quickfire If we talking classic R&B who you got, Jodeci or Jagged Edge? Premium laughs | Real takes only Welcome to The 8793 Podcast Fueled by #TheAwkwardGeniusNetwork Follow for new episodes weekly. #8793Podcast

We kick things off with Cardi B’s new track Imaginary Players — she sampled a Jay-Z classic, but did she really hit the mark or fumble the flow? Then it gets spicy as LisaRaye says a Black woman could never prosper “getting ran through” like Taylor Swift & Kim Kardashian. Is she exposing Hollywood double standards, or just projecting her own truth? From there, Lil Yachty catches heat for his George Floyd bar — Steven Jackson jumps in, and we ask if hip-hop finally crossed the line. Plus, is Drill music really the sound of Black culture now, or just industry agenda? We also react to the heartbreaking footage of Young Dolph’s final moments and his brother’s heroic attempt to save him. And in politics, Trump and the feds take over D.C. streets. Is this about crime prevention, election optics, or another play targeting Black communities?  87 or 93: Flip a coin for $500K or take the guaranteed $200K — which one are you choosing? Premium laughs | Real takes only Welcome to The 8793 Podcast Fueled by #TheAwkwardGeniusNetwork Follow for new episodes weekly. #8793Podcast

We start with Dana White’s game-changing move — the UFC signs a 7-year, $7.7 billion media rights deal with Paramount, killing the PPV model and putting every fight on Paramount+ for no extra charge. Are fight fans officially in a new golden era?  Then we get into Halle Berry’s ex claiming he left her because she “doesn’t cook, clean, or seem motherly.” Valid reason to walk, or just Hollywood nonsense? And do high-value women in career or social status actually make worse wives — or is that a tired myth that needs to die?  Next, a viral court case has the internet split: a dad who has his kid 4 days a week — and pays for everything during his time — is still ordered to pay $1K+ in child support. Is the system broken, or is the judge right?  We also break down the 12-state EBT junk food ban: from soda to candy, sugary snacks are off the table. Is this a real health win, or just another way to make life harder for low-income families Plus — Anthony Edwards’ alleged custody standoff: $500K up front, $55K annually for life, child support, and an apology… is that negotiation or extortion?  And for 87 or 93 — if $5 million is on the line, what animal can you outrun?

We kick things off reacting to Shedeur Sanders getting the Browns’ preseason start — is he really up next or just being pushed like Deion 2.0?  Then Dreka Gates finally files for divorce, but wasn’t Kevin already moving like a single man for years? We unpack the Renner marriage saga and whether Dreka held it down too long or too silently.  Trick Daddy rants about not being attracted to women over 35… we ask: is this just another old man lashing out, or is there a deeper double standard in how age hits men vs. women?  Plus, Metro Boomin’s A Futuristic Summa draws both praise and side-eyes — is it really a club classic or a nostalgic mid? 87 or 93?  Then we tackle Trump’s constant jabs at Black icons — from Obama and Beyoncé to MLK and Charlamagne — and debate whether he’s trolling, targeting, or playing a dirty political game.  We close it out with our 87 or 93 quickfire: is asking for someone’s income early in dating just smart financial filtering — or straight-up shady? Premium laughs | Real takes only Welcome to The 8793 Podcast Fueled by #TheAwkwardGeniusNetwork Follow for new episodes weekly. #8793Podcast

The full crew is back and we kick it off reacting to Ari Lennox calling out Martin for disrespecting dark-skinned women with his jokes about Pam. Is she spitting facts or reaching for relevance?  Then we get into the internet’s wild reaction to Hulk Hogan’s death — tributes, callouts, and the never-ending debate: can you separate the man from the mess once they’re gone?  Next up, content creator Bendadon puts a girl on blast for not having $150 at the yacht vibe— we ask if he was outta pocket or just being honest. Plus, Deandre Ayton allegedly leaves a woman stranded in Turks for not giving it up — clown behavior or fair boundaries?  We close out with Claressa Shields stacking another W — is she boxing’s queen or still fighting for her spot? And if Laila Ali really wants smoke, who you putting your money on?  87 or 93 Quickfire: You get one hour with your 18-year-old self… what’s the one thing you’re telling him?

This week, We kick things off reacting to a viral list ranking the U.S. cities with the most beautiful women — and you know we had thoughts. Then, we unpack the internet’s split reaction to Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson’s soft launch… is it love or a PR play? From there, we dive into Tyler Perry firing his own aunt and turning down a family member’s $1M ask. Is this top-tier tough love or billionaire-level cold? Then we react to Shannon Sharpe’s case being dismissed, the truth about the accuser finally coming out, and what this means for his legacy — and her future. We also say goodbye to Malcolm-Jamal Warner, better known as Theo from The Cosby Show, and reflect on our own experiences with the dangers of open water. Then, the WNBA takes center court — literally — with bold protests during All-Star Weekend. We break down the message, the money, and whether the public is really ready to support the women’s league. We close with a new round of 87 or 93: Would you rather take $30K cash, an 800 credit score, or marry a rich person you’re not in love with?
