    Football Predictions, Celebrity Chaos & Toe Talk

    The Unchecked Views crew is back with early Super Bowl predictions, halftime show speculation, college football drama, and the wildest celebrity headlines! 2KBoo is riding with Florida teams and the Falcons (even though things aren’t looking too promising), YDM is backing Baltimore with the Rams as a possibility, and Cashflow is standing ten toes down for the New York Giants. Then we get into halftime show predictions: Jay-Z, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, and special guests—but if Jay-Z has a say, why not Chris Brown? Could Kanye make a surprise appearance? We have thoughts! In college football, Ole Miss gets the win over LSU, giving Lane Kiffin a little get-back. The crew also discusses Diddy’s reported unpaid legal fees, Chris Brown turning down an award after backlash over its presentation, and the debate over whether Shaq or Deion Sanders is the better rapper. Shaq’s latest honorary law enforcement role has us asking what honorary policing actually means—and how one man can be a champion, DJ, rapper, businessman, and now an FBI honorary figure. Plus, we’re going down the Game of Thrones rabbit hole with Cersei Lannister, sharing Halloween costume ideas, and adding Lanterns to the watchlist. The crew also pays tribute to producer Tay Keith following reports that his death was ruled an accidental overdose involving multiple substances. And that’s not all: Coach Prime gets prosthetic toes, sparking a conversation about the wear and tear athletes put on their feet, while Martha Stewart has people talking after discussing the possibility of releasing nudes at 85! From football predictions to celebrity headlines, fantasy TV debates, and some truly unexpected takes, Episode 23 is packed with unfiltered opinions, laughs, and plenty to argue about. No scripts.

    Trade Drama, Toxic Takes & Toilet Talk

    This week on Unchecked Views, the crew goes from poop etiquette to NBA history and somehow makes it all make sense. 😂 We kick things off with Cardi B’s take that women shouldn’t fart, poop, or do certain “unattractive” things around their partners. The crew weighs in—and YDM takes it to another level with a hilarious date-night storytime involving poop unexpectedly entering the conversation. 💩😭 Then we get into major NBA news, including the Kawhi Leonard/Clippers salary-cap scandal, which resulted in the Clippers forfeiting five future first-round picks. We also discuss the JaQuess and Deiondra Sanders co-parenting drama and the pressure that comes with having family situations play out publicly. College football takes center stage with LSU vs. Clemson, the Tigers' coaching staff, and the money and business surrounding the success of major college football programs. In music-business news, we break down T-Pain suing Akon’s Konvict Entertainment, alleging nearly $489,000 in unpaid royalties. We also revisit the Big Tigger legal situation, following news that prosecutors declined to pursue the charges stemming from his arrest. Tigger has denied wrongdoing. Then comes one of our biggest sports debates: Tracy McGrady's take that winning MVP means more than winning a championship. Does individual dominance matter more than the ultimate team accomplishment? And finally, someone claims LeBron said he would make people forget Michael Jordan's name. 👀 We debate whether the quote is real and, more importantly: Are today's NBA players actually softer than the OG generation, or has the game simply evolved? 🔥 Big sports debates. Celebrity drama. Music business. And the most unexpected storytimes. No scripts. No filter. Just Unchecked Views.

    Trade Talk, Trolls & Tap to Pay

    This week on Unchecked Views, the crew is covering a little bit of EVERYTHING, from sports and celebrity drama to wild headlines and one very overdue Walmart update. 😂 We start with the Penn State drug ring case and how the story challenges stereotypes about what people assume a drug dealer looks like. Then we get into the latest Anthony Edwards child-support drama and ask how athletes navigate fame, family, and responsibility. The NBA takes over with Klay Thompson heading to Miami, what happens to players when they switch teams and have to redefine their roles, the 76ers looking scary good on paper, and Aaron Rosen heading to Denver. Plus, football season is finally here! 🏈 We talk about Odell Beckham Jr. being back and whether he's still got something to prove. Entertainment brings the heat as we debate the Patti LaBelle family drama after her nephew was reportedly kicked out over political differences. After reportedly living in her home for years, was it really about politics or are we looking at a little entitlement after eating all those Patti Pies? We also break down Joe vs. Donell Jones, with the crowd seemingly giving Joe the win, and debate who really sounded better. Then things get WILD: a sister runs onto a middle school football field and tackles a player because she believed her brother was being roughed up. Was she protecting her little brother—or completely out of pocket? 😳 On the WNBA side, Angel Reese makes history, while we discuss the bizarre trend of fans throwing objects—including dildos—onto the court. 😭 And finally… WALMART HAS TAP TO PAY! 🙌😂 After all these years, we're asking: WHAT TOOK SO LONG?! Plus, 2KBoo lets the guys try TONE scents from Kai Cenat and AMP's collection, and everyone picks their favorite. 🎙️ Sports. Culture. Chaos. And opinions that stay Unchecked. No scripts. No filter.

We start with Russell Westbrook announcing his retirement and reflect on his incredible NBA legacy. Where does Russ rank among his generation, and which stars from that era could be the next to call it a career? Then we talk Claressa Shields' big win, her walkout with Latto, and the ongoing debate around smoking at sporting events and concerts. Is it ever acceptable or should venues have a zero-tolerance policy? The crew also settles some hypothetical celebrity fight matchups: 50 Cent vs. Anthony Edwards and The Game vs. Chris Brown. Who are you putting your money on? 👀 The NBA gets even more attention as we discuss the Lakers being purchased for billions and debate one of football's biggest legacy questions: Peyton Manning vs. Eli Manning, who had the better career? We also react to the controversy surrounding LSU's No. 5 jersey, after Jayden Daniels reportedly sent a cease-and-desist involving DJ wearing the number, and debate who should have the right to iconic jersey numbers. In music, Lionel Richie takes shots at Chris Brown and Usher, bringing up their legal troubles and sparking a conversation about whether artists should call each other out publicly. Then things get VERY unchecked when we break down the word “sassy.” Why do hookah, umbrellas, matcha, and certain other things suddenly become “sassy” when a man does them? 😂 The crew puts the stereotype to the test. And because it's our 20th episode, 2KBoo brought the fellas some TONE scents from Kai Cenat and AMP to try on camera. The reactions? Let's just say everybody had an opinion. 😂 🎙️ 20 episodes.

Smith apologizing to Kyrie Irving over his past comments surrounding COVID-19 and vaccination, sparking a conversation about accountability, changing your mind, and whether public figures should be expected to apologize when they get it wrong. Then 2KBoo takes us behind the scenes and talks about her experience testing before becoming an extra on an episode of BMF. That leads into a nostalgic conversation about life during COVID, including the shows everyone binge-watched and the crew's decision to revisit Game of Thrones. Next up: Does Usher have a clone?! 👀 The internet has questions after fans started wondering who exactly is doing some of the dancing during his concerts. The crew gives their theories—and their opinions are definitely unchecked. We also react to the bizarre story of a “Grim Reaper” hospital employee who was arrested after allegedly causing a disturbance, plus the headlines surrounding Luka Dončić's ex and reported financial requests involving child support. The NBA gets plenty of attention as we look at the Lakers' very different-looking lineup and debate whether their new roster can actually compete at the highest level. On the culture side, we discuss a 50-year-old woman celebrating her milestone with a wedding ceremony, the potential return of MySpace, and Rap University with Soulja Boy being canceled/no-showing amid questions about promotion and turnout. We also talk about Gucci Mane continuing to release Pooh Shiesty's album despite the controversy, and whether artists should separate business from personal situations. And finally, the moment nobody saw coming: Ant falls asleep during the show! 😂 From serious conversations to wild conspiracy theories, nostalgia, sports, music, and one very sleepy co-host, Episode 19 is another reminder that you never know where Unchecked Views is going next. 🎙️ No scripts.

    Bonnets, Bucket Lists & Brutal Dating Takes

    This week on Unchecked Views, the crew mixes culture, entertainment, relationships, and personal goals into one of our most opinionated episodes yet. We kick things off with the new dress code at Tuskegee University restricting bonnets, durags, and other attire on campus. The crew has strong opinions on whether schools should enforce appearance standards or if students should have the freedom to express themselves however they choose. Next, we break down the viral concert moment where Usher dismissed a fan from the stage after she didn't seem engaged during the performance. Was she really there for the Usher experience or was she secretly waiting for Chris Brown? We also discuss Chris Brown's headline making interactions with fans during his tour, his recent guilty plea to lesser charges, and what the upcoming sentencing could mean for the remainder of his tour. The crew also reacts to the continued controversy surrounding Dr. Cheyenne Bryant and the growing questions about credibility, accountability, and trust when it comes to public figures who position themselves as experts. From there, we shift gears and get personal by sharing our bucket list goals: from ziplining and boxing to traveling the world. We reveal our dream destinations, including Africa, Dubai, and other places we hope to experience, while discussing the legacy we want to leave and the goals we're working toward beyond the podcast. To close out the episode, we have a fun but revealing conversation about relationship dealbreakers. Could you date someone who hates sports? Is long-distance love worth it? What if they have completely different political views? The crew debates what makes someone truly "undateable" and which red flags are absolute dealbreakers. 🎙️ From culture debates and celebrity headlines to life goals and relationship hot takes, Episode 18 is packed with laughs, honest conversations, and opinions that spark debate.

    This week on Unchecked Views, the crew tackles one of the busiest weeks in sports and entertainment with bold opinions, relationship debates, and plenty of laughs. We kick things off with the blockbuster rumor of LeBron James potentially joining the Philadelphia 76ers. Could LeBron be the missing piece to deliver Philadelphia its next championship, or would this move create even more pressure? The crew breaks down the fit, the expectations, and what it could mean for the NBA. Next, we discuss the reports surrounding Sean Combs and an alleged altercation, examining what has been reported and how quickly stories spread before all the facts are known. The conversation continues with Boosie Badazz making headlines over allegations involving an attempt to obtain a presidential pardon, leading to a discussion about celebrity influence, scams, and accountability.

The crew then dives into the estate dispute involving Malcolm-Jamal Warner, discussing family dynamics, prenuptial agreements, estate planning, and why having an updated will is so important. We also examine the Nolan Wells case, sharing our thoughts on the investigation, the unanswered questions that continue to surface, and why renewed public attention—including coverage from Nancy Grace—has people following the case so closely. To lighten the mood, we switch gears and compare our biggest relationship red flags—from lying, cheating, abusive behavior, and financial irresponsibility—to the green flags we believe make relationships healthy and successful. Finally, we wrap up the episode with a hilarious round of "This or That," debating favorites like Chick-fil-A or Popeyes, morning person or night owl, and other rapid-fire choices that reveal a lot more about the crew than expected. 🎙️ Whether it's sports rumors, celebrity headlines, true crime discussions, or relationship debates, Episode 17 is packed with unfiltered conversations, laughs, and opinions you won't want to miss.
