Ep. 37 | My Brother's Keeper

I check in on my hometown next-door neighbor and longest best friend Joe "Breezy" Brown from Atlanta. We discuss our humble beginnings, and how learning hard lessons didn't make us quit on our dreams of being BOSSES. KANYE WEST AND RIHANNA became BILLIONAIRES. Once you get great at what you do, challenge yourself to do something else without forgetting about what made you great in the first place. It's called a PIVOT! And we should all master it.

Ep. 36 | It's Cheaper To Keep Her

Finesse and Genie discuss the way divorce settlements are skyrocketing out of control.

I don’t know about you, but paying someone half your fortune because we fell out of love is some bullshit. “You wasn’t with me when I shooting in the gym!!!” FOH!

Ep. 20 | Capitol Assault

At this point, what else do we need to hear or see from this President, 45? Like, really? What else do the law-abiding citizens of both political parties need to see? Is “Law and Order” just another catchy phrase like “make America great again”? Our nation’s Capitol was breached and overrun by an angry, Trump-loving, cult mob.
