The Need To Know Podcast

SaVon and Alex are joined by Yassy and Eddin, and begin by explaining why full visuals are now on Patreon (0:00). After quick Patreon shout-outs, a listener question sparks a hilarious round of “most embarrassing moments,” from Savon's Santa stage slide to Alex's PAL game accident, with more clumsy stories from the group (8:59). They pivot to Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl LX halftime show, weighing his global pull, the “culture war” backlash, and why the NFL/Apple pairing makes sense (27:54). Later, the pod shifts into film talk—first with 'Him,' as well as other films, including the new Leonardo DiCaprio release, classics like 'Coco,' and the joys of going to the movies solo versus with company (44:21). From there, the discussion deep-dives into Young Thug's 'UY SCUTI'—Cardi B's standout verse, the controversial cover and hard-ER intro, and whether the project is rage-bait, a solid showing, or a genuine misstep (50:48). They critique the lack of theme, debate art vs. artist, and question if Thug is losing his standing in hip-hop. The conversation closes on Cardi B's place in rap—her verse of the year candidacy, feuding with Nicki Minaj, the Ice Spice/Latto comparisons, and whether Cardi is the true “Queen of New York” (1:13:10).

Mero closes it out with a classic BX take — Yankees fans are spoiled, Mets fans are built different (01:42:14). From gems to jokes, legacy talk to hood stories, this one's special. Tap in!
