    Redheads, Rollercoasters & Blank Checks | Starlito and Work N Progress Podcast Ep. 37

    Loso is back from Vegas with a vegan food tour and a wedding DJ who rocked the room while blind, which kicks off a real question: once you do it for a living, can you still just enjoy the show? Louis CK front row at the Ryman, breath control and rapping the whole 16 straight through, the Nashville acts who impressed live, and Shute on court in Dyersburg, Z. Alexander Looby, and getting asked "are you a lawyer?" Then the Titans' rough start and Dak's tunnel walk, the Six Flags coaster tragedy and growing up on Opryland, favorite childhood movies from Blank Check to The Lion King, and Christa Pike's failed execution: is the redhead gene real, and is trying again cruel and unusual? Starlito runs through every music video he's made a cameo in, from Mannie Fresh and Birdman to Gucci Mane and a Lamborghini that cost him a stack. Shadow Work goes deep on grief: the losses they still carry, how it changed them, and how each of them copes. --- ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 🎙️ Episode 37 Roll Call, Vegan Cookies & Lito's Green Juice01:51 🎰 Vegas Vegan Food Tour: Modern Vegan & Black and Blue Diner03:50 🎧 A Blind DJ Rocked the Wedding: How Do You Read the Crowd?10:50 🎤 Can You Still Just Enjoy a Show?

    Gender Roleplay, ComplexCon & Jimmy's Wet Dream | Starlito and Work N Progress Podcast Ep. 36

    The fellas come in hot off a run club HBCU tour lap down Jefferson Street. Shute runs through practicing law in four states (and why Florida makes you retake the bar), Starlito shares how 75 Hard keeps humbling him (asleep on page three, back to day one) and meets Nike's Chris Bennett, whose book just named his next album. Then: health is gangster, as Wiz, Jim Jones, Styles P and Larry June make running and juicing the new flex. ComplexCon turns ten with Ye on stage with Carti, fights in the recaps, and Mitchell & Ness chasing the hypebeasts. Is that culture or just capitalism? Plus creative control vs. a $10M check, Oracle saving the Nashville Symphony after Martha Ingram's passing, New York paying artists up to $10K, and Ultimate Warrior at 15. Then the big debate: gender roles. Who takes out the trash, who handles the car, who cooks (one of the fellas hasn't since July 26, 2013), and everybody's dating non-negotiables. Shadow Work goes into dreams: snakes, signs, dads who visit, Jimmy's wet dream, and a blue lotus nightcap. 🏃🏾 Run the Nashville Half Marathon or 5K with us → https://www.runnash.com/events/nashville-half-marathon/ · 15% off with code STARLITO📖 This Is About Running.

    Halloween, Bad Choices University & It's A Different World

    The fellas break bread over a Trap Fusion vegan spread and settle the Fangtastic 5K: a three-second finish, a dropped phone, and the asterisk that comes with it. Then it's a 75 Hard restart after a sold-out night in Birmingham, a weekend in Orlando, a race somebody skipped while still asking where everybody parked, and why running across bridges you've driven over a thousand times hits different. Halloween brings the receipts: a full head-to-toe genie costume in first grade, a house rule against masks, and a football uniform passed off as a costume. Homecoming week turns into Bad Choices University: fake IDs at 14, getting hit by a Buick, selling CDs hand-to-hand at the game, and two 10-year-olds trying to walk five miles home from the Hole. Plus: the A Different World reboot and why Black TV so rarely gets a universe, RIP Mr. Belding, Celebrity Fit Club, a 3 a.m. Drake run-in at the Aria, and a Shadow Work card on the relationship behaviors that trigger us. 🌱 Shout out to Trap Fusion → https://trapfusion.com · IG @trapfusion901 & @trapvegan615 --- ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 🎙️ Episode 35 Roll Call & Tennessee Fits01:40 🌱 Trap Fusion Vegan Spread & the Three-Second Finish05:19 🔁 75 Hard Restart After Birmingham With Don Trip08:36 🏝️ Los' Weekend: Orlando, Epcot & Wayne + 2 Chainz13:37 😴 Los Skipped the Race: Group Chat Receipts & Comedian CP17:08 🏃🏾 Race Recaps: Los' PR & Jimmy's Last-Turn Pass22:32 🌉 Titans vs. Preds Course & Running Past Old Memories32:44 🎁 Birthday Slime & Los' Disney Lego Gifts34:54 🧞 Halloween: The Blue Genie Trauma, No Masks & Football Uniforms45:08 🐯 TSU Homecoming Is Here46:49 🚗 Homecoming Highs & Lows: Block's Buick, Jeezy & Selling SW1 CDs52:39 🚶🏾 The Five-Mile Walk From the Hole58:44 📺 A Different World Reboot & Black TV Universes1:07:39 🔔 RIP Dennis Haskins: Saved by the Bell & Cousin Lark1:10:06 💪 Celebrity Fit Club, Warren G & Celebrity Run-Ins1:16:00 🦉 The 3 A.M.

    Sibling Rivalries, Game of Thrones & Taylor Sheridan Shows | Starlito and Work N Progress Podcast Ep. 34

    The fellas open with HBCU band culture and the Sonic Boom of the South sample behind "Bands," then get into what self-care actually looks like when you've spent your adult life fighting sleep — including whether booking a sleep study makes you less of a man. From there it's Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford, the teams and players that betrayed us, and a full run through the shows everybody's locked into right now: Diarra From Detroit, Reacher, Landman and the entire Taylor Sheridan universe. Then the Shadow Work card lands on sibling rivalries, and it gets real. Being the oldest and feeling responsible forever. Asking your father whether a new baby means splitting the inheritance. Growing up an only child and realizing the closest thing you had to a brother got a sibling of his own — and what that quietly did to you. Plus: 20 years of Young Dro's Best Thang Smokin', the five love languages, and an 8Ball gift that turned into a 1,600-piece Lego Jaguar. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 🎙️ Episode 34 Roll Call02:11 🥁 HBCU Band Culture & the "Bands" Sonic Boom Sample06:37 🧘🏾 Weekend Recap: The Party at Jim's, Yoga & a Sound Bath09:37 🏃🏾 75 Hard Day 8 & Running With Unc16:04 🎃 Halloween Decorations, 100 Cases at Work & Cigars17:51 🌊 Self-Regulation: How We Actually Reset21:39 😴 Sleep, Toussaint L'Ouverture & the Four-Hour Debate23:39 🩺 "That Ain't Gangster": CPAP & Men's Health Stigma27:18 🏈 Lane Kiffin Sold His Soul: Ole Miss Beats LSU30:28 💔 Ever Felt Betrayed by a Team?

    Pardon My Pain: Hidden in Plain Sight | Starlito and Work N Progress Podcast Ep. 33

    Shute's back from St. Lucia, the album's out, and the table gets into it: Boosie going on 60 Minutes about a $600,000 pardon that never came, what actually makes somebody a snitch, and 30 years to the day since September 13, 1996. Then ATLiens turns 30, and the Shadow Work card asks about the Jester — the one who keeps everybody laughing while he's falling apart inside. That last half hour is the realest this show has been.

    OGs Passing Game or Gate Keeping & Starlito's Way 5 | Starlito & Work N Progress Podcast Ep. 32

    D-Mo slides into Shute's seat while he's out the country, and the table gets into the conversation nobody actually has out loud — who's supposed to pass the game down, why so many OGs don't, and whether you were ever really ready for the room you thought you deserved. It runs almost twenty-five minutes and it's the realest stretch of the season. Plus Kanye in Chicago, the best food cities in America, a Five Below story that has no business being that funny, and a reveal at the table that nobody saw coming. --- 🎵 Starlito — CATHARSIS (out September 11) 🛒 GrindHard.com 🖤 Black Ass Party — Sept 19, Jim's on Buckhead 🏃🏾 Titans 5K — Sept 26 | Predators 5K — Sept 27 🛍️ Nashville Black Market — Oct 2, Nashville Farmers Market, 6–10 PM 💪🏾 75 Hard kicks off Sept 15 — link coming 🎤 Slim Jim's first comedy special, Grief Counseling — new date TBA 📈 Help us get to 10,000 — subscribe and drop a W in the chat --- ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 🎙️ Intro — D-Mo Sits In for Shute 02:57 🏃🏾 Run Club, Recovery & Weekend Recap 06:33 🎤 Grief Counseling Update & Slim & Husky's Goes to Chicago 09:07 🎧 Kanye in Chicago, Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium 13:23 ⚔️ Hit for Hit: Can Anybody See Kanye? 15:16 🎹 Stevie, Gladys & the Farewell Tour Tactic 17:55 🍽️ Best Food Cities in America 20:52 🥬 The Vegan Map & What's Too Much for Vegetables 25:39 🌱 Community Gardens, Diners & Hometown Staples 32:49 ✈️ The Air Traffic Control Reveal 34:13 🪘 Passing the Baton: OGs, Game & Who's Actually Ready 53:26 🚪 Gatekeeping, Silent Beef & Protecting Your Spot 55:52 💼 Lil Wayne & Gucci Mane: Watching the Work 58:16 🏈 Super Bowl Predictions 1:02:08 🎺 HBCU Football & Marching Band Culture 1:07:50 🤳🏾 The Five Below Selfie Stick Story 1:11:09 📚 Book Club: The Way of the Superior Man 1:19:24 🕯️ Shadow Work: Insecurities & Hurtful Moments 1:34:39 💿 Album, Community Unity Day, Road to 10K & 75 Hard --- 📲 Follow Work N Progress Podcast: IG: https://www.instagram.com/worknprogpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@worknprogpodcast FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585610322752 #WNP #WorkNProgress 📲 Follow the Hosts: Carlos Partee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/im_loso Starlito  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/starlitogrindhard Stephen Thomas Sr.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimmy.hatcha Shute Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shute Edited by Zips https://www.instagram.com/zips1990 #WorkNProgPodcast #Podcast 🎙️ Join Our YouTube Membership Support the podcast and get access to exclusive content, behind-the-scenes clips, and early episode drops.

    Catharsis: Stolen Lyrics & Learning to Forgive | Starlito and Work N Progress Podcast Ep. 31

    The fellas are back around the table and this one goes deep. What starts as sloths, snakes and the book table turns into a real conversation about how success gets punished, what actually happens when someone uses your lyrics, and why forgiveness might be the hardest work there is. Plus a scammer with a 49ers helmet, and an album reveal at the buzzer. ---🏃🏾 Titans 5K — September 26 | Fantastic 5K — September 27🎤 Jimmy at Third Coast Comedy Club — new date TBA📈 Help us get to 10,000 — subscribe and drop a W in the chat --- ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 🎙️ Intro & Catching Up03:21 🐍 Spiders, Snakes & Favorite Animals09:41 🦥 The Accidental Sloth Collection14:11 📚 The Book Table17:41 ⚖️ Built Up to Be Torn Down29:41 📱 Going Viral & Losing the Narrative31:41 🎵 Rod Wave vs. Boosie: "Long Journey"37:01 💰 Dolly, Whitney & the Publishing Lesson45:31 🔁 Hip-Hop Was Built on Borrowing & the H•A•M Story52:51 ✈️ Charlotte & a Sold-Out Show55:41 ⏳ Free Time Is a Myth1:00:11 🏈 The 49ers Helmet Scammer1:05:01 📅 Weird Holidays, Pinky & Staycations1:10:41 🕯️ Shadow Work: Forgiveness1:23:21 🎤 Comedy Update & the 10K Push1:26:11 💿 CATHARSIS — Out September 111:27:41 🏃🏾 5Ks & Outro 📲 Follow Work N Progress Podcast:IG: https://www.instagram.com/worknprogpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@worknprogpodcastFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585610322752 #WNP #WorkNProgress 📲 Follow the Hosts:Carlos ParteeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/im_losoStarlito Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/starlitogrindhardStephen Thomas Sr. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimmy.hatchaShuteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shuteEdited by Zipshttps://www.instagram.com/zips1990 #WorkNProgPodcast #Podcast 🎙️ Join Our YouTube MembershipSupport the podcast and get access to exclusive content, behind-the-scenes clips, and early episode drops.Join here:https://www.youtube.com/@WorkNProgPodcast/membership  Email: worknprogpod@gmail.com #WorkNProgress #WNP #Starlito #Nashville #NashvilleHipHop #Podcast #HipHopPodcast #Catharsis #RodWave #Boosie #MusicBusiness #Publishing #ShadowWork #Forgiveness #BlackPodcast #IndependentArtist #DonTrip #Cashville #MusicIndustry #Songwriting #PodcastClips

    Back 2 School: of Thought-Provoking Joking Shute | Starlito and Work N Progress Podcast Ep. 30

    Episode 30 opens with first-day-of-school energy — the crew compares notes on parenting versus being a kid, morning routine chaos, and how excitement flips to something bittersweet once you're the one dropping them off. Book club digs into The Celestine Prophecy and The 5 AM Club, then the conversation turns to whether work is an escape or the thing you're escaping from. A cryptic Don Trip tease leads into September 11 memories — where everyone was, and the albums that dropped that same day — before spiraling into middle school crushes and a full Tickle Me Elmo nostalgia trip. The back half covers the Knockout Wings pop-up controversy and what it says about scaling a business without losing the recipe, a run through old Nashville restaurants everyone wants back, upcoming 5K race season (Titans and Predators back-to-back), a full ranking of Lito's unreleased "100 I Shoot" and "What Was I Thinking" catalog — plus a first listen to a brand new unreleased verse — and it closes out with shadow work on comparison as the thief of joy. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 🎙️ Intro01:38 🏫 First Day of School & Being a Parent vs. a Kid17:52 📚 Book Club — Celestine Prophecy & The 5 AM Club23:20 🎭 Is Work Your Escape?
