Episode 289 | I Am The Mic, I Am The Pod, I Am The Culture

We’re back after a busy weekend. Thank you Philly for kicking off the campaign!

After the show the guys linked with Baby D in Philly for Broccoli City. It was a mixy weekend on the festival grounds.

Meanwhile, Julian was taking shrooms and binge watching the Olympics back in NY. In Marvel news (our specialty) Robert Downey Jr. gets casted as Dr.

Doom (22:35). This leads to us talking about one of our favorite films, Tropic Thunder.

Then the guys share what Olympic events they’re been watching (30:26). If you’re watching any sport you’ll most likely see Snoop Dogg.

It already feels like the Olympics are in LA. In music news, Tory’s driver submits a testimony that offers no new information (50:35).

Did you catch Will Smith’s new song (56:19)? One could only hope to be so lucky.

We review his latest single and Ice Spice’s vulnerable and moving album. Soulja Boy & Bow Wow popped out on Shamu and all the sea creatures for an unexpected performance (1:08:28).

Speaking of unexpected, Baby D joins us late in the episode and shares her perspective from Broccoli City (1:14:01). It’s time for voicemails (1:28:13)!

First we discuss our bad habits. Then we give bachelor party advice.

And for the final call we give our hottest takes. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this + more!
