Do the people we perceive to be great consider themselves great ?
By now, we've all seen the smack that is being talked about around the world (Will & Chris Rock). When does a joke go too? Or what constitutes a joke going too far.

Because of the recent dysfunction on the Joe Budden Podcast we rehashed an old conversation about friendship and business: knowing your role, legal paperwork, removing emotion, wins & losses. Along the way we give takes on feminine ego, soulmates & soul ties, eventually concluding that all relationships are essentially ran like a business.
To kick of this week’s episode, the fellas give their on the lack of entertaining media content. Let’s be honest for a second, the last few movies you’ve watched on Netflix, Hulu, HBOmax or any other streaming platform have been mediocre at best. Or maybe quarantine has magnified our need for more physical interactions rather than media based content. Other topics include: social media hypocrisy, public speakers pandering to women, pseudo-intellectualism, empathetic Christianity, and preachers with a past.

Listen man, it’s the 1st podcast of the year and we’re picking right back up where we left off. Our spirits are high but it seems like we’re carrying the same energy from 2020 into the New Year.
