Hyphen Nation

Nope. I couldn't leave Wale and everything is a lot in the place I left it last episode so I break down the entire album. I also discuss his growth from 2017 to now, why "Where To Start" should be played two times in a row, and even why I try to avoid lead singles. After, I discuss how LeBron can't finish his career in peace and drop my Ray Allen theory.

I just got my ninth live-action Spider-Man film and 11th since 2002 if you're counting Spider-Verse (which you should unless you hate Spider-Man). So what is my major malfunction? After a spoiler warning, I break down what didn't work for me in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the couple things that did. Up top, I talk about all the media I've been consuming since we last talked.I forgot to say this but the V-Max reveal wasn't well done either.

Costarring Errick Greenlee & Marcus Robinson. Special guest appearance by Oroku Saki aka Thee Shredder.As much as I've championed Jaÿ-Z over the years on this very podcast, Jaÿ is still human. Very human. Handsome Bane threw the pass to Marc Rob for us to draft Jaÿ-Z songs and albums that were Hov on his lesser days. Marc Rob formulated the categories. Me? All I did was show up and record. Sometimes it be like that. We also break down our personal top 5 Jaÿ albums after the draft and then Oroku Saki called and left me a voicemail with his choices. Billionaire Hov isn't for everyone... In fact, any billionaire usually isn't for everyone. Our picks cover it all though.

Although I was curious at first, I really have tried to take an anti-A.I. stance. As a creator, the idea that you can plug a prompt into a chat and get almost anything you desire is nuts (and a lot of it is stolen). Not to mention the water use just to run all of these bots.But what if I told you that I stepped a little too far into the world of A.I. and while I haven't succumbed, I haven't exactly stopped either...After that confession, why do fanbases get so enraged when a show or movie doesn't go the way they hoped it would go? I examine this and talk about Stranger Things 5 (spoilers).

Costarring Errick Greenlee, Michael Lamerique & Marcus RobinsonOn January 8, 2016, I released the first episode of Hyphen Nation. Recorded from the parking lot of a local Morgantown Kroger with a laptop and a headset mic, never did I dream that my little podcast would be at 200+ episodes and still active 10 years later but here we are!To celebrate, I recruited the Brain Trust aka the Diamond Dogs Handsome Bane, Lam, and Marc Rob to celebrate with me. In the first half, we talk about Will Smith's career taking it's downturn, how no one has replaced Twitter despite multiple efforts, relive some 2016 things, and many more alleys and detours.In the back half, Handsome Bane carved out some time so he could still contribute more than just a visit, and we talk about the death of Hulk Hogan, where he's finding joy in professional wrestling these days, and God.Here's to another 10 years? Maybe? Who knows. Thanks y'all.IMPORTANT LISTENING INFO: I apologize for the quality of my microphone in the second half. I hooked my condenser mic up to Zoom and even after all these years, they don't like each other.
