SaVon and Alex welcome back Mandii B, who begins by sharing why she left New York for Atlanta and how the lower costs and bigger creative opportunities convinced her to make the move (0:00). She explains how that leap quickly led to her landing her own radio show and how Atlanta’s content scene compares to New York’s (8:15). Mandii then reflects on building her podcast career and co-authoring the New York Times-bestselling book 'No Holes Barred'—a therapy-driven mix of self-help and erotica (19:30). The conversation shifts to Cardi B’s long-awaited 'AM I THE DRAMA?'—breaking down standout tracks while unpacking the pointed disses at Bia, JT, and others—and how Cardi avoided the dreaded sophomore slump (21:38). Next, a Patreon listener question sparks a candid roundtable about Gen Z (1:12:33). The crew then shifts to Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension after a Charlie Kirk-related joke and what it means for late-night television and creator ownership (1:25:29), with a sidebar on reported Disney disagreements about bringing the show back. Finally, they discuss the latest with Dame Dash—his decision to sue Cam'ron, old Roc-A-Fella drama, and what Jay-Z must be thinking about what has unfolded (1:42:59).
