    Big Conversations. No Filler. Big and Lazy is the interview podcast hosted by Big B Fines, where creatives, entrepreneurs, and musicians sit down and actually talk. No surface-level questions, no PR-polished answers. Just real conversations with the people building something worth talking about. From Louisville legends shaping the Black community to independent artists and business owners making moves on their own terms, every episode centers the guest and the story they've been waiting to tell. And when the conversation calls for it, current events, industry takes, and unfiltered commentary find their way in too.

    EST Gee's new album, Communication Breakdowns, Philadelphia Prison Experiments & More | Triple BS

    Triple B.S. is where current events meet random questions, and social commentary gets absolutely honest. Forget interview format. This isn't about guests. It's about your hosts breaking down the week's hottest topics, asking the questions nobody else will, and serving up takes that'll make you nod, laugh, or throw your phone across the room. Featuring B Haywood (Producer), West Side Will (Social Media Comedian), Big B Fines from the Big and Lazy Podcast, and Stacey. The voices who actually say what they think. West Side Will brings the gender dynamics comedy that landed him on social media in the first place. The rest of the crew? They bring the unfiltered perspective on how men and women really interact, what's actually happening in the world, and why nobody's talking about it the right way. Whether you're watching on YouTube, supporting on Patreon, or listening on your favorite audio streaming platform, Triple B.S. is the podcast for anyone aged 28 to 45 who's tired of boring hot takes and wants commentary that actually lands. Yeah, B.S. stands for three names. And yes. It also stands for exactly what you think it does. This week the crew goes DEEP. Starting with an unfiltered debate about why women broadcast their financial situation online, they quickly pivot to connecting dots most people are afraid to touch: What happens when the man building an empire lives next door to the pharmaceutical giant that profited from an opioid epidemic? And what does that have to do with government experiments on incarcerated Black men? This episode is a masterclass in thinking critically about proximity, power, and profit. 00:00 Intro and Subscribe 00:14 The Simp Economy: Why Women Broadcast Their Finances Online 00:46 Real Women Keep Their Money Quiet 02:17 The Lesbian Logic Debate 04:09 Do Men Let Women Buy Them Stuff? 05:00 Boundaries, Appreciation, and Expectation in Relationships 06:00 When Organic Becomes Obligatory 07:46 Communication Breaks Down Fast in Relationships 10:00 Music Talk: EST Album, Pluto, Iceman, Drake Rankings 15:31 YouTube Documentaries and Roku Deep Dives 20:01 Vegas Trip Recap and Nightclub Economics 47:09 Exotic Car Rental Scam (How They Got Played for $250) 48:53 The Real Story: Rare Cars at the Gas Station 49:47 Music Talk: Snotty, EST, and the New Wave 50:47 Documentary Deep Dive: Philadelphia Prison Experiments 51:32 THE CONNECTION: Johnson and Johnson, Opium Fields, and Diddy's Neighborhood 55:37 The Foot Race Challenge and West End Stories 55:43 Outro: Subscribe and Join the Patreon
