    Episode 114 is another packed one.

    Episode 113 | "Any Think" (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

    The episode opens with Usher and Chris Brown's Toronto tour stop and a debate about what it actually means for an artist to still be performing at their peak. That leads into a bigger discussion about athletic preparation versus the unpredictability of music careers, one-hit wonders, viral success and why some artists struggle to follow up their biggest records. The crew then goes down a nostalgic rabbit hole about the era when movie soundtracks produced massive records that could become bigger than the films themselves, revisiting some of the most memorable collaborations between hip-hop, R&B and pop. From there, the conversation moves into Ravyn Lenae's comments about R&B, the idea of whether "pop" is even a real genre, and how music gets categorized across race and culture. The discussion then takes a turn toward religion and technology as the crew talks about churches using secular music, the growing presence of AI-generated music in worship, and whether the technology creates ethical questions that conflict with religious principles. After some lighter stories involving movies, disappointing food and Uber experiences, the episode closes with the viral Candace Owens, Andrew Wilson and Pat Bet-David debate before expanding into a deeper discussion about political polarization, Israel, Islamophobia, 9/11 and the common ground between the three Abrahamic religions.

    Episode 112 | "Context" (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

    Episode 112 opens with DJXP taking accountability for the previous podcast cycle, explaining how personal circumstances prevented him from being the best version of himself on the last episode. The conversation quickly shifts to Kawhi Leonard as the crew breaks down why the Raptors trade remains in limbo and what recent reporting could mean for its future. From there, they react to Drake's Strong Women, Stronger Drinks event, where the ICEMAN reportedly gave away $2 million in cash prizes, cars, luxury bags, and more to entrepreneur-focused women across Toronto. Next, the hosts discuss Tory Lanez's new album outperforming Rick Ross's latest release before debating artist relevance today, with names like Nas and Big Sean entering the conversation. DJXP then introduces one of the week's biggest music stories after a Billboard-charting record by Fenix Flexin was revealed to have been created in an unexpected artificial way, leading to a discussion about where the music industry may be headed next. The conversation continues with Trinidad James, Desiigner, and the careers of artists who exploded overnight, before shifting into one of the episode's biggest discussions. Using the Summer House saga as a jumping-off point, the hosts debate a universal question: What's more important an apology or an explanation? DJXP argues he's grown beyond needing the "why" after betrayal or rejection, while Trivelle and EverythingOShauN believe understanding someone's reasons matters more than the apology itself. The episode wraps up with quick thoughts on The Odyssey and the latest Spider-Man film. You Might Wanna Sit Down 4 This.

    Episode 111| "Did You Get Stung By A Bee?" (Trivelle Simpson, EverythingOShauN & DJXP)

    After weeks of diving deep into Summer House and Drake, the podcast returns with Episode 111, covering a wide range of conversations across music, film, sports, relationships, and pop culture. The crew starts by discussing hidden symbolism in movies before debating whether they would be comfortable having a male stylist, male nanny, or other traditionally female household roles. They then react to JAY-Z's back-to-back concerts, Tory Lanez's new album while revisiting the verdict surrounding his case, Future's latest project, and the ongoing tension between Dame Dash and JAY-Z. The conversation shifts to Hollywood as the cast previews the upcoming The Odyssey film, explores why some audiences already have concerns, and looks at the remarkable number of A-list actors appearing in multiple major films this year. They also ask an unexpected question: How are soap operas still surviving in 2026? Later, Trivelle challenges the crew to choose their favorite era of hip-hop the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, or 2020s using some of each generation's biggest artists as representatives, leading to one of the episode's biggest music debates. The episode closes with a relationship discussion after Trivelle poses a viral social question: If a man pays for a woman's shopping spree and dinner, is she expected to spend the rest of the night with him, or is she still free to make other plans? Finally, the hosts share their thoughts on the FIFA Women's World Cup just before the championship match, where Spain would ultimately lift the trophy. You Might Wanna Sit Down 4 This.

    Episode 110 | "Lacan's Gaze" (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)

    Episode 110 starts with the cast talking about movie scenes that were elevated by improvisation, including Training Day's iconic King Kong speech and Robin Williams' unforgettable Genie performance in Aladdin, where much of the animation was built around his ad-libbed dialogue. That leads into a fascinating story Tom Hanks recently shared about an entirely different version of Toy Story, where Pixar attempted to recreate the same creative freedom before ultimately scrapping the approach and reworking the film with Tim Allen. From there, the crew dives into a major story out of Toronto involving the legendary radio station Flow 98.7, which recently underwent a significant programming overhaul, including replacing its morning show with TV host Patricia J. The conversation expands into the controversy surrounding Patricia's husband after he referred to a woman from the podcast Relentless Diaries and her co-hosts as "YNs" while defending his wife's position at the station. Once the comment surfaced, accounts were deactivated and the discussion quickly shifted from whether Patricia fit Toronto's music culture to broader conversations surrounding race, culture, and representation. DJXP also provides insight into some of the business and financial realities behind major programming changes in radio. The conversation then shifts to the podcast industry as Trivelle explores whether Netflix-exclusive podcasts have benefited from moving behind the streaming platform's walls. The crew debates discoverability, exclusivity, audience habits, and whether podcast consumption on a television-focused platform can realistically compete with YouTube. Music takes center stage next as the guys discuss Drake songs from ICEMAN that are beginning to go viral alongside other contenders for Song of the Summer. Trivelle also reveals the first time he's ever been fooled by an AI artist after discovering what he believed was phenomenal music, leading to a discussion about the easiest ways to identify AI-generated artists beyond simply how they sound. The hosts then tackle one of the week's biggest music stories after Lizzo's Bitch album reportedly sold around 2,000 copies in its opening week. As artists and music professionals themselves, they explore the possible reasons behind the disappointing numbers despite Lizzo's enormous commercial success over the past decade. Floyd Mayweather's recent financial headlines are examined next after accusations that he wrote bad cheques. Rather than assuming he's simply "broke," the crew discusses more realistic explanations for the public business decisions involving the man long known as "Money" Mayweather. The episode then returns to Summer House as the cast reacts to the final piece of Season 10 content, The Aftermath. They break down Bravo's attempt to provide additional context surrounding Amanda, West, Ciara, Kyle, Meija, and Lindsay while revisiting the season's biggest friendship and relationship storylines. Trivelle calls out XP for having a soft spot for Amanda, which naturally leads into a broader discussion about giving advice to friends who repeatedly choose not to take it. To close out the episode, the crew reacts to a viral conversation from Devale and Khadeen Ellis' Dead Ass Podcast, which sparked widespread debate surrounding monogamy, sexual expectations within marriage, and how relationships evolve after having children. The hosts finish the episode by sharing their own perspectives on intimacy, long-term relationships, and the changing expectations that come with marriage and family life.

    Episode 109 | Cartier (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)

    Episode 109 kicks off with DJXP revealing to the other castmates that, after years of trial and error, experimentation, and exploring different content verticals, the podcast's YouTube channel has officially reached monetization by surpassing 4,000 watch hours within the last 365 days. While celebrating the milestone, the conversation turns reflective as they revisit the uncomfortable Episode 100 discussion where Trivelle and XP bumped heads over what it truly takes to build a successful podcast and the balance between passion, love, discipline, and dedication. Some concessions are made as they revisit that debate, while Trivelle introduces what he believes is the third ingredient necessary for success beyond skill and talent. From there, they pivot to Jay-Z responding to shots Drake sent his way on the critically acclaimed and commercially successful ICEMAN album, which has now spent its fourth week at #1. Jay-Z's response is compared to Drake's own reaction to Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" verse, with parallels drawn between the two chart-topping moments as Janice STFU continues its run atop the Billboard Hot 100. After discussing the recent downplaying of Jay-Z's career by stans and uninformed observers, the conversation naturally progresses to Taylor Swift joining Jay-Z as one of music's two richest figures. Taylor's billionaire status is particularly noteworthy because it is largely music-driven, a rarity in an industry where most artists accumulate wealth through a combination of music and outside investments. The group discusses the achievement and what it means for the business of music. Keeping things firmly in the pop culture lane, the guys then dive into their highly anticipated Summer House discussion, reacting to Parts 2 and 3 of the reunion for the house that Bravo built. Holding almost nothing back, they break down major moments involving Amanda, West, Ciara, and Kyle, discussing whether any real progress or accountability emerged from decisions that largely happened behind closed doors. Following the mega-conversation, XP introduces a series of fascinating relationship questions circulating on Reddit that tie directly and indirectly into many of the themes explored throughout the Summer House discussion, particularly around sex, infidelity, trust, and modern relationship expectations. Things take a more serious turn as the episode concludes with a discussion surrounding the recent verdict in the Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf case. Welcome to the show.

    Episode 108 | "Dunk" (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)

    Starting off the episode with Trivelle showing some adulation for the progress, the guys get right into revisiting the Drake conversation. As his one album (turned two-album surprise drop) landed him the top 3 spots on the Billboard 200, while a litany of songs populated the Hot 100...and with many arguing he may have officially passed MJ (on paper for sure), the group discusses the love, the hate, the additional artists who received their first charting positions, and their official quick reviews of the first/main album, ICEMAN, including where it sits in Drake’s discography. After wrapping that conversation, they discuss the AMA Awards and some of the winners, along with the glaring snub of an artist like Taylor Swift, who had 8 nominations, one of the biggest fanbases in the world with the “Swifties,” and one of the biggest albums of the year. Some people are definitely raising eyebrows. Staying in the Taylor vein, Canadian R&B/pop legend Shawn Desman accuses Taylor and another artist of biting one of the standout records from his career. After giving their opinions and discussing how situations like that should be handled, the guys move into the Kevin Hart apology tour following his roast, where many racial jokes were made at the expense of Black people. They discuss the larger issue surrounding comedy as a protected form of speech and the fallout that came with Kevin addressing it head-on instead of letting the story die down naturally. The story that has the guys lit in the streets is the Summer House reality series, with Trivelle dragging XP (and OShauN to some extent) deeper into the reunion episode surrounding one of the biggest stories in Bravo history involving the real-life relationship dynamics between Amanda Batula and West Wilson behind the cast’s back, including Amanda’s still-husband (technicality) and the recent fallout between West and Ciara Miller. While they touch on the reunion episode as a whole, the conversation really hinges on the major storyline where all the plot points come together for XP and OShauN, creating what XP calls some of the best TV he’s ever seen. After that, XP brings up an interesting relationship experiment that found a connection between long marriages and the extra adjectives husbands use when introducing their wives based on someone watching over 2,000 hours of couples interacting across 6 years. After that surprising fact-finding conundrum, Trivelle finally watches the Michael movie, opening up an entirely new direction for the discussion after revealing his issues with the film (he is a director, by the way). The pod concludes with the crew discussing their dream biopics and the best ones made so far. Welcome to the show.

    Episode 107 | "The Brass Tail" (DJXP feat. EverythingOSauN & Trivelle Simpson)

    Episode 107 starts with what Trivelle (pictured in the middle) calls, “I’ve been waiting two years for this.” The crew jumps straight into the end of Drake’s Iceman saga, breaking down the stream, the rollout, the Toronto takeover, and the visual-heavy release strategy surrounding the new album(s). From the artistic side to the business side, sales expectations, insider stories, and theories about why Drake approached this release as three separate projects, the conversation covers it all without doing a full review, as the music was less than 24 hours old at the time of recording. As Toronto natives themselves, the hosts dive into the significance of the city references, visuals, and rollout moments that outsiders may not fully understand. After spending nearly an hour unpacking everything Drake dropped, the episode shifts into a story the comment section demanded after a line DJXP said in the previous episode: “One day we’re going to have a real conversation about Marvin Gaye.” XP revisits that statement by reading through some of the alleged controversies surrounding Marvin Gaye and discussing why a proper biopic on him may be far more complicated than other legendary artists whose accusations have remained more of a footnote in their legacy. After the cohosts are left shocked beyond belief, the conversation naturally spirals into a discussion about voyeurism, relationships, and the mindset someone would need to have to want to watch their partner be with somebody else in the name of pleasure. That topic leads directly into a viral story about a woman who had been dating a man serious about marriage, but who continuously delayed taking the next step. Another wealthy suitor stepped in, openly challenged the procrastinating boyfriend, and ended up marrying her within six days. The hosts debate whether that situation is truly crazy considering the unconventional ways many relationships begin. That opens the door for another Summer House discussion, specifically the Amanda, West, and Ciara situation that the podcast has been covering throughout the season. The hosts compare the betrayal dynamics from the viral story to what unfolded on the show behind Ciara’s back, while also discussing the upcoming reunion, the future of the Summer House universe beyond the summer setting, and why the franchise has separated itself from many other reality shows. From there, the conversation pivots into broader reality TV history before transitioning into film and television, including Netflix’s adaptation of Man on Fire starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. After discussing his performance and his recent momentum following Wonder Man, the hosts debate the reasons both for and against his rise in Hollywood, compare his trajectory to Michael B. Jordan, and discuss how some actors outgrow television after getting their start there. The episode closes with a broader conversation about Hollywood making room for only a select few Black leading actors at a time, before rounding things out with thoughts on Euphoria, the Toronto Tempo first impressions, and more.
