SaVon and Alex return with Nyla Symone, and begin with some important show updates before jumping into a Patreon member question on what single movie or TV show best explains Black culture to aliens—sparking a hilarious debate that ranges from The Cosby Show and Martin to Get Out, SpongeBob and even Hancock (11:22). From there they revisit Cardi B’s long-awaited album, debating standout tracks like “Bodega Baddie,” the Cash Cobain feature and whether a rumored Nicki Minaj shot really landed (19:53). The crew highlights Cardi’s rollout, from her NYC train promo to sitting down with Angie Martinez and Joe & Jada while addressing his comments about her pen (30:30), and note her projected 200K first-week sales (39:42). They then unpack Jay Electronica’s new project, focusing on the controversial decision to open with a Diddy voice note and how it plays amid Diddy’s legal troubles (48:06). Finally, they close by debating Diddy's sentencing and whether the Black community will embrace him if he returns home (56:23) and discussing the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation/Ticketmaster (1:19:54).
