ShopTalkPodcast – Episode 509 On Episode 509 of ShopTalkPodcast, J. Johnson holds it down while Dame recovers, joined in the studio by longtime friend and Westside staple Mike “Muddy” Kimbrough. What starts with classic ShopTalk intros quickly turns into a wide-ranging, honest conversation that only happens when real life meets the mic. The episode opens with hilarious stories from Dame’s post-procedure anesthesia haze, followed by reflections on work, leadership, union life, and the realities of being “the cool supervisor” while still holding people accountable. From plant politics to survival economics, the fellas talk money, job security, and why discipline still matters. The conversation takes a cultural turn with a deep dive into DrewSki’s viral pastor skit and the larger discussion around megachurch culture, faith, satire, and accountability. J and Muddy unpack the thin line between mocking man versus mocking God, why church conversations are so polarizing, and how pop culture shapes people’s excuses more than their lived experiences. From there, the episode shifts into fatherhood and vulnerability. J shares real-time reflections on raising a teenage daughter, the emotional cost of providing, and the moment when kids start seeing parents as access instead of protection. Using Ryan Davis’ viral interview as a launch point, the fellas discuss presence versus provision, gratitude, sacrifice, and the quiet heartbreak parents don’t always admit out loud. The back half of the episode touches on music, storytelling, and legacy, including a breakdown of J. Cole’s For Your Eyes Only, expectations for The Fall Off, and why narrative rap still matters. The episode closes with a candid conversation on relationships, money, prenups, and the uncomfortable truths behind “50/50” partnerships. Funny, reflective, and grounded in real life — Episode 509 is classic ShopTalk: barbershop wisdom with grown-man perspective. When you see the blue and the black, you know where you at. ⸻ Listen & Follow: ❶ iTunes: Search #shoptalkpodcast ❷ YouTube: YouTube.com/jjohnson313 ❸ SoundCloud: SoundCloud.com/shoptalkpod ❹ Website: www.shoptalkpod.com Connect With Us: Instagram: @Shoptalkpodcast | @jjohnson313 | @damegonewild Twitter: @jjohnson313 | @damegonewild | @TheShoptalkPod Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/ShoptalkPod/

Johnson and Dame Gone Wild kick things off reflecting on fellowship, family, and why showing up in real life matters more than ever in an increasingly digital world. The conversation shifts into health, discipline, and aging, as J breaks down his recent lifestyle changes—giving up meat, starting intermittent fasting, prioritizing sleep, and committing to long-term habits over quick fixes. From Apple Watch sleep tracking to using AI to interpret personal health data, the fellas talk accountability, consistency, and why six months is the real test of commitment. From there, the episode moves into culture and consequence. J and Dame unpack faith, leadership, and public accountability, debate whether shame still has a place in society, and address anti-Blackness in media and streaming spaces, including what real consequences should look like when lines are crossed. The back half of the episode turns global and political, with discussions around U.S. involvement in Venezuela, resource-driven conflicts, civil unrest, and what preparedness really looks like in uncertain times.

ShopTalkPodcast — Episode 507: Intellectually Dishonest The first episode of 2026 starts exactly where ShopTalk lives: honesty, reflection, and uncomfortable truths. J and Dame open the year grounded in gratitude and survival, reflecting on what it means to make it through a brutal season with faith, health, and family intact. From near-death experiences and the long road back, to quiet New Year’s nights, aging, and the people who become permanent fixtures in your life, this episode is heavy—in the best way. The conversation shifts toward discipline and self-correction. Fasting, diet, aging bodies, and the difference between simply surviving versus actually living. J breaks down intentional lifestyle changes—cutting sugar, removing meat, and stepping off the “regular American diet”—and why real health requires long-term commitment, not shortcuts. From there, the episode tackles one of the most debated cultural phrases right now: “Fuck the streets.” What does it actually mean? Who’s allowed to say it? And why are people being intellectually dishonest, pretending the conversation is about homelessness instead of violence, crime, and destructive street mentalities? J and Dame call out virtue signaling, selective outrage, and the moral confusion around glorifying behavior that harms communities. The episode closes with reflections on loyalty, friendship, mortality, and how some bonds outlast marriages, careers, and entire phases of life. Growth doesn’t come from pretending—it comes from telling the truth, even when it’s unpopular. Music Pick of the Week: Ashley Sorrell — Just Wanna Be Welcome to 2026.

ShopTalkPodcast — Episode: Holiday Myths & Grown-Man Truths On this episode of ShopTalkPodcast, J. Johnson & Dame Gone Wild tap in the day after Christmas for a wide-ranging conversation that blends holiday reflections, family dynamics, culture, and the kind of debates only ShopTalk can deliver. The fellas talk about Christmas as adults—how traditions shift once you become the magic, and what it really means to show up for family when you realize moments aren’t promised. From parenting, kids growing up, and slowly becoming the elder in the room, to honest reflections on memory, gratitude, and loss, this episode goes deeper than the wrapping paper. The conversation takes a sharp turn into culture and belief systems as J and Dame unpack Santa Claus myths, childhood traditions, and whether lying “for fun” actually carries long-term consequences. From the Tooth Fairy to Christmas economics, they challenge traditions most people never stop to examine. They also get into hip-hop talk—Fab, Jim Jones, Dave East, and expectations placed on New York rap—along with boxing culture and Anthony Joshua’s moment in the spotlight. The episode closes with discussion on the evolving podcast landscape, Netflix’s push into audio, and what the future of content consumption may really look like. Honest. Funny. Thoughtful.

ShopTalkPodcast — Episode 505 J. Johnson and Dame Gone Wild return for Episode 505 of ShopTalkPodcast, kicking things off with classic intros before settling into a wide-ranging conversation rooted in family, recovery, music, and culture. Dame shares real updates on his continued recovery from open-heart surgery, the uncertainty around returning to work, and how God’s timing continues to line up in unexpected ways. The fellas talk about being home for the holidays, cooking for family, and the reality of slowing down after a major health scare. Things turn personal (and hilarious) when Dame discovers his kids have a group chat called “Trash Dad”, sparking a broader conversation about fatherhood, perspective, and how blessed kids really are. The episode moves into reflections on friendship and brotherhood—building strong circles later in life, accountability among men, and why the company you keep directly shapes how you move through the world. Music takes center stage as J and Dame break down recent projects, including Nas’ latest album, debating backlash, expectations placed on legends, and why music criticism is often loud but uninformed. They dig into year-end Apple Music stats, favorite albums, most-played songs, and what listening habits reveal about who we really are as fans. That opens the door to a deeper discussion on hip-hop debates, group artists vs. solo artists, and why being part of a collective should never disqualify greatness. Later, the fellas jump into a thought experiment that spirals into a funny and thought-provoking debate: If you could commit one crime and erase it forever, what would it be? The conversation touches white-collar crime, morality, politics, and the uncomfortable lines people refuse to cross. The episode closes with boxing talk ahead of the Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul fight, shoutouts to women’s boxing, Dame’s Music Pick of the Week, and a classic Who’s Mans Is This?! segment loaded with culture, politics, and conspiracy-laced skepticism. They wrap with gratitude, holiday well-wishes, and a reminder that 505 episodes deep, ShopTalkPodcast is still just getting started. ⸻ Listen & Follow: ❶ iTunes: Search #shoptalkpodcast ❷ YouTube: YouTube.com/jjohnson313 ❸ SoundCloud: SoundCloud.com/shoptalkpod ❹ Website: www.shoptalkpod.com Connect With Us: Instagram: @Shoptalkpodcast | @jjohnson313 | @damegonewild Twitter: @jjohnson313 | @damegonewild | @TheShoptalkPod Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/ShoptalkPod/

The fellas also address the firebombing of the Hitha Healing House in Highland Park and the ripple effects it has on the community. The conversation turns to the firing of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore, with J and Dame breaking down workplace power, bad decisions, accountability, and why ego continues to be the downfall of high-profile figures. Jordyn Mickens then shares the journey behind her book Forgive Them and Parent Better, discussing forgiveness, emotional burnout, journaling, creative healing, and raising her autistic son. Together, they explore parenting, self-awareness, recognizing personal warning signs, and why forgiveness is often a continuous practice rather than a one-time decision.

ShopTalkPodcast — Episode 490 Welcome back to Shoptalkpodcast EP490. J and Dame are back for another week of foolishness—and this one is loaded. We’re officially 10 weeks out from Episode 500, already plotting an in-person celebration, and the energy is building. Dame opens up with a real health and life update—surgery prep, mending relationships, and a shift toward gratitude. J recaps a packed long weekend: grilling adventures, Arts, Beats & Eats (including the infamous cordoned-off smoke zone), and a Detroit photo wave he’s about to flood the timeline with. From beard phases and wave checks to hotel-griddle steak lore, the chaos starts early. Then the conversations deepen. The fellas compare Detroit’s underground fight scene to viral bare-knuckle spectacles, break down a wild “Who’s Mans Is This?!” case that resulted in a 15-months-to-20-years sentence over stolen ashes, and call out peak bozo behavior when a dad leaves his kid on a porch. From there, it’s vengeance vs. wisdom (J’s “Zen book” bars), elder care, internet rumors, and why “watch your mouth” is still elite advice. Rap talk heats up with leaked Young Thug jail calls, fake streams and industry cap, why a Kendrick feature isn’t owed to anyone, and the difference between real-world reach and “lit b***es and players.” The fellas also salute a Pokémon creator who turned blatant racism into real-life consequences (chef’s kiss). The episode closes with heavy but necessary conversations around National Guard deployments, policing without community respect, poverty’s connection to violence, parents vs. “super predators,” the Oregon refuge standoff, and how the AI future is arriving faster than most people realize. Topics Include: • Countdown to Episode 500 + live event tease • Dame’s surgery prep, reconnection, and perspective shift • Grills, steaks, and Arts, Beats & Eats recap • Underground fights vs. barn-brawl culture • “Who’s Mans Is This?!” urn-theft case → heavy sentencing • Porch-drop parenting = certified bozo behavior • Zen bars on anger, revenge, and restraint • Young Thug leaked calls, Kendrick/Drake context, fake streams • Pokémon racism → Navy career-ending receipts • National Guard, policing, Detroit violence, and poverty • AI 2027/2030 fears & what humans can’t outsource Music Pick: MC Breed — Let’s Go to the Club (RIP Breed) Dedicated to Dan. 🙏🏽 Tap in on YouTube and Spotify for the video version.
