This is the last episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST! Within, I talk about why I chose to end the show, what's next for me, share some memories as well as my favorite episodes from the show's run, and give the pod the proper ending it deserves. Thank you for listening for 8 years. I hope you'll continue to support my future endeavors. Thanks y'all.
In the honest to goodness penultimate episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, Angel Conley is my very last guest! At long last, I reveal my top 10 greatest female MCs of all time and Angel brings 10 of her favorites. The similarities and the differences may shock you. Also, I may be sexist and I put women in boxes. I'm going to work on that.

On today's BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I celebrate Memphis Bleek and his 2003 album M.A.D.E. Then I lightly touch on some shows I finished (Ted Lasso and $chitt's Creek) and a show that I'm heavily invested in (Abbot Elementary). Then, I finish off my list of Movies I Can't Turn Off, started back in Episode #60. There's recommendations galore too!Music by No Name Tim.
I literally rolled out of bed and came straight to the microphone. So, good morning sleepyheads. I talk about Matt's dad passing, The Foreign Exchange's Leave It All Behind, the second return of CM Punk, and my thoughts on Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3.
The comic strip. A way to let go of your worries and have a chuckle. Well, I go into depth on some of my favorite comic strips including Peanuts, Pearls Before Swine, and my most recent find, Poorly Drawn Lines! Then, I tell the story of how I met Huey Mack and discuss his latest album The Cozy Bar. Finally, I give James Marsden and Keegan-Michael Key their flowers for just showing up in stuff I love!
On this episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I wanted to talk about things I was enjoying for the second time. We lead off with Mac Miller and his 2016 album The Divine Feminine after some Ja Morant jokes. Then we really reevaluate what I took away from my rewatch of The Good Place. And then I make another Ja Morant joke.
So you thought a conversation between myself and Marc Rob would just end because Rasslecast was over? Marcus wanted to do a quick segment on whether Michael B. Jordan was a good actor and from there we talked about our hopes for Creed III, Jonathan Majors, and what's gone wrong with the MCU since we last talked about it (2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home)!
I got fed up. Recent events were weighing on me and I had to speak my truth. Back to the positive vibes for 209.https://www.patreon.com/bhyphenhttps://bit.ly/hy-extralife2023

In the first live episode since 2020, I decide to revisit talking about my favorite basketball players ever. I finally admit that I became a fan of Kobe Bryant prior to his untimely passing. Then, I talk about Marvel's constant need to make Spider-Man miserable, along with Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1: World Without Love. I finish things off with a revisit of Ne-Yo's second album, Because Of You.Donate to my 2023 Extra Life fundraiser: https://bit.ly/hy-extralife2023

Today, I talk about the long and winding road to episode 200, answer Errick and Kat’s questions that I missed on 199, preview some future episode topics, talk about how a friend’s review of recent MCU movies being right out of the back issue bins is perfect, say “for the 200th time” a lot, and rank the Stranger Things seasons!

On this edition of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD’S GREATEST PODCAST, we return to the questions! I solicited questions from my friends and family and I set about answering them… except for Handsome Bane’s because I’m a jerk. Also, I take some NSFW swipes at the gun control problem in the country before we get into the proceedings.
In this edition of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I start things off with a little housecleaning as I review and recommend some of my recent watches and listens. Then, it's all about Kendrick Lamar, his new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, and where he now ranks in my 20 greatest MCs of all-time list.
You see the title. In honor of the NBA Playoffs getting underway, I start a segment where I take a look at the career of one of my favorite NBA players, starting with Grant Hill. After being appalled the Pistons didn't retire his number yet, I review the new Girl Talk/Smoke DZA/Big KRIT/Wiz Khalifa album Full Court Press and then explain why it reminded me of my favorite Wiz project Kush & Orange Juice.

Part of growing up is knowing when you were wrong. Because of that, I have to walk back some comments I made on Hyphen Nation 102 about Taylor Swift. I touch on her situation with her masters, Fearless (Taylor's Version), her songwriting prowess, and yes, for the last time, the Kanye of it all. Then I give flowers to Frank Ocean's nostalgia, ULTRA. and 9th Wonder & Murs' Murray's Revenge.
