Heavy is the Head | Podcast | Episode 29
🎙️ In Episode 29 of Heavy Is the Head Podcast, we’re hitting everything from NFL drama to Netflix trauma to wild dating disasters.
👑 We kick things off with Crown or Clown, debating Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart walking out of minicamp over a contract clause. Is he standing on business or fumbling the bag?
🎬 Then we dive into Tyler Perry’s new Netflix movie Straw — a deep, emotional rollercoaster with one of the craziest plot twists in recent memory. We break down the mental health themes, the performances, and whether it’s worth the watch.
🏀 The crew then debates Michael Beasley’s bold 1-on-1 claims, including beating Lance Stephenson, Carmelo, and even LeBron, and ask: Does beating someone 1-on-1 really mean you're the better player?
🏆 Then it’s NBA Finals talk: Pacers vs. Thunder — who’s got next, what’s up with SGA not getting his usual foul calls, and is this the start of a new NBA era?
📲 And finally, we wrap with some Reddit-style wild stories:
-One dude got scammed after sending a nude and kept paying hush money for weeks.
-Another lost a girl because he called AAA for a flat tire.
Trust us, you don’t want to miss these takes.
🎧 Pull up and vibe with us—real takes, jokes, and that barbershop energy.
