What’s more impressive 1 billion streams in 2019 or 1 million album sales in 1969? Drake says fuck The Beatles. We define levels to cancel culture; why is OJ ok, & C Breezy have it easy while Louis CK can’t do a secret show without an op-ed being written?

TUNE IN!! https://justaskbeej.com/ @askbeej @realspielpod
Jake wrote a screenplay!! We discuss the general creative process & best times of the year for movie releases, summer vs fall/award season. I also preview the most anticipated Netflix drops in August/Sep. Big fights in UFC this weekend but first, one has to go between Drake, J Cole & Kendrick; choose wisely.
We get a dose of estrogen this week as I’m joined by my good friend Hillary to discuss what a hot girl summer means for a hot man/boy. I lay out why Betty Davis was the 70s Megan Thee Stallion & Hillary offers a feminine perspective on everything from presidential candidates to capital punishment.

Comical but concise 2020 Campaign coverage with yours truly. I outline some hurdles for Democratic nominees in the field & highlight the main problems Trump faces leading up to the race.

NBA Finals are heating up while all the best players are injured & icing down. We listen to Televangelists brag about their G5s, review IGOR & show love to hip-hop moguls who cashed in on being dope. TUNE IN
I discuss Elizabeth Warren being grilled on the Breakfast Club for her lack of native Americanness, and the importance of figures like Charlamagne Tha God forcing difficult conversations. Pandering for votes continues making candidates look weak. The spelling bee crowned 8 champs & somehow ran out of words. More impressive if they spelt some of those kids names. I dig into a little Game 1 finals action & offer my philosophy on dating/timing in long term relationships. TUNE IN
I ran into a little trouble hooping yesterday that forced me to reminisce about the lack of parental control on the internet during my childhood. Jake & discuss the ubiquity of name brands & their strangle-hold on our revenue flow. The majority of this podcast (roughly 25min) is hardcore basketball dialogue. We wax philosophically on ways the game has changed including the players who impacted it, mainly Chef Curry. Jake thinks an NBA sweep can be competitive & would take Chris Paul at PG over Steph. I believe Curry is a modern era Jordan in the way he's blocked others from greatness. Of course a little of "Dem Thrones" thrown in with a brief summary of Quentin's 9th flick "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" - TUNE IN & TURN UP
The refresher you didnt know you needed. We recap/review GOT up to this point & offer a big middle finger to all the critics (spoilers ensue) Next we discuss the evolution of film consumption & why 3D goggles suck as much now as they did in the 90s. Fyre Festival guy is writing an inspirational new book from prison that definitely isn't another quick money grab. Robert Durst case reopening & analyzing "The Jinx" documentary, as well as the overall rise in "true crime" docs. Why creating a cognitive dissonance between the celebs we hate & their creations we love is important. "Unsolved Mysteries" returns to Netflix prompting fear in anyone w ho got away with something illegal. Our nation's obsession with criminals & redemption. Comparing stupid decisions in high school to college helps soldify how much we've matured, kinda. GAMETIME: "Sang that Headline" & covering the idiotic things athletes say & do with "Why would you say that?" NBA Playoff rundown to wrap it up. TUNE IN
Heavy GOT recap in honor of season 8 dropping tonight. Jake and I also cover the end of the NBA regular season and how playoff seeding will impact championship matchups.
What a wild world we live in. This St Patty's weekend 3/17/2019 was full of joy and tragedy alike, but the aim of this podcast is to always keep things light. I deliver a weekend recap of the current sporting landscape in college/pro hoops, championship boxing and MMA upsets. I also reserve one last soapbox for Kareem Hunt while remembering one of my favorite comedic philosophers. Listen up
Mobility in the NFL is fun, but does it make sense? AB to Oakland trade review. Who is Elizabeth Holmes and how did she swindle the wealthiest venture capitalists in the world out of billions? This one was a short sweet solo mission because I was hungry, tune in.
Not all night owls are sociopaths but all sociopaths are night-owls, FACT. Read it on a Snapple. Jake & I take a walk thru memory lane as we attempt to recount the first time we were stoned. SPOILER: Jake low-key hallucinated & I commit mild acts of vandalism, ah good times. I provide some necessary insight on animal sex behavior & how it closely mirrors our own in some ways. We revisit the concept of universal basic income with more stats to back it up, debate whether or not God is essentially a free-range parent & review great historical figures in honor of Black History Month.
Coming in hot with opinions like assholes, nice and tight. We start discussing a HS coach buying titles in a private league and jump to opening up playoff seeding in the NBA. That does it for sports as Jake and I do our best to offer some thotful analysis on the bookmarked topics: Free speech evolution, dealing with PC culture, Social Media-cation, Alex Ocasio-Cortez agenda, Liam Neeson & Blackface, Rehash culture and our inability to forgive, glorifying serial killers, paths to redemption for fallen stars & On-demand content shaking things up. Outro music provided by Tampa's finest, Pressha Gang JV
Are all nipples created equal? Adam Levine doesn't think so. Jake is deep in bulk season trying to hit 170 while I'm fasting like its Ramadan. We recap the SuperBowl, talk about gene editing ruining pro sports for the future & anti-AI ads that should scare the shit out of you.
SNOW DAY DELAYS has me rethinking vacation destinations. No more climates colder than where I live. Jake discusses his love/hate relationship with commercial air travel & the difference between gliding vs flying. We review the NFL playoffs, debate how to fix ProBowl & the free-agent coaching carousel. Also Jake needs surround sound for "privacy"
Jake thinks fluoride is toxic and we debate the concept of a superstarless society. Do you respect celebs with burner accounts more than overt petty comment creepers? I outline the levels to bitch-like behavior in pro sports, specifically free agency. KD isn’t leaving GS. Marcus Peters doesn’t fuck off. Why is no one sticking up for Kareem Hunt? Jones vs Gustafsson 2, State of boxing & our NFL playoff picks.
My roommate Tevin and I cover the weekend's festivities including Fury v Wilder, NFL/NBA highlights, what's current in "FAKE NEWS" & album drop we have on repeat. Tune in
First 10 min I cover my spending habits this Black Friday compared to most Americans & getting right physically for 2019. Last 20 is all about ball. Aaron Rodgers being slightly overrated, how offense is taking over the sport & Jameis Winston's next landing spot might be closer than you think. This is a sports heavy listen so if you don't like NFL/NBA this one might not be for you past 9:40 mark. TIC TOC
My good friend Hillary, who hates combat sports & most athletic competition in general calls me early Sunday morning to discuss UFC 229 main event aftermath. The fact she cares at all was enough for me to discuss. My barometer for measuring a sporting event's popularity is if Hillary asks me about it. We also briefly get into binging Netflix, 2nd season of Big Mouth (no spoilers) & I tell stories about my first encounters with porn
Jake laments working his life away & finally ending a drought. I recap some of my trip to Puerto Rico & explain why boozing & fasting don't mix. We get into lucid dreaming, & our "master of finance" breaks down how to spend lottery winnings
"The Patriot Way", Mayweather talking greasy & why March Madness doesn't matter
Big Men in NBA & what Boogie meeting the Brow means for league
All Star Weekend, "Slave Mentality" in sports & Flat Earth Theory
Football over NBA season officially matters McGregor-Mayweather done deal. RS is a podcast produced & hosted by Bryant Jones covering whatever he feels like. Mostly sports, politics, bro science and pop culture. Not that Kardashian crap though. REAL pop culture like who's the sexiest TV mom all-time, or worst rap beefs. Random but always entertaining, rambling but ever-engaging, educating speculating and dictating. Welcome to Jurassic Park.
Is betting on sports a legit retirement plan? Just finished Westworld & questioning the shit out of the existence of free-will. Would you take lump sum or incremental payments after lottery win? Jake goes off on Trump immigration policy & I summarize Wild, Wild Country in 2 min. NBA Superstar, NFL star QB, MLB slugger, Championship fighter or International Soccer star. Pick your poison.
We start off debating Apple vs Everyone & unnecessary IOS updates. Deleting old phone contacts is an unwelcome walk down memory lane. The government is always 50 years ahead of us so what do they have access to now that will be the norm in year 2070? Seen Face/Off? Yeah, thats happening in 2018. Overpopulation & the impracticality of flying cars all come up too.
Narcissism, is that you? Jake refelects on his younger days getting mistaken for a skinhead & we lament the state of hip-hop beef post Infrared. Keep in mind we had only heard up until Duppy at this point so we'll have more on this topic next week. Til then vibe with us.
Remember losing girl's numbers after they scribbled it on notebook paper? We wax nostalgic on our yester-years & discuss ways social media killin love out here in these streets. Jake needs help with a Tinder bio & I think we faked the moon landing. Goin 40/40 in honor of Hov & Lint. First 40 is nonsensical, last 40 is mostly sports talk mixed in with breaking racial stereotypes. Basically Jake love's J's & I could give a shit. Tune in
This one was a solo mission. Abort or hop aboard because besides talking Lebron going down 0-2 and the blasphemous hate being spewed by sports "journalist" across the nation I talk human flaws and what makes me get TF up every morning. Lend ya ear muscles for a quick 30 min and ya phalanges for a hot min 5 star rating/review
From the somewhat foolish minds of Bryant and Jake. We may or may not have gotten a bit too high before recording this one but after 5 min we found a flow. Cole Beasley spits hot fire, Jake thinks Shaq is overrated & Friday Night Lights = GOAT sports movie. The quintessence of mediocrity.
My first time recording solo at iHeart studios in Tampa, FL. This is from sometime in the fall of 2016 and its mostly nonsensical hilarity
