Kehlani got robbed of a great summer wave. When she dropped her sophomore LP It Was Good Until It Wasn't in 2020, many listeners had to listen to the album from home due to the CoVid-19 outbreak. However, not only did have an album that supplied a surplus of music gems that could fit a playlist for the whip or the bedroom, many of the relatable tracks opened up about the Oakland singer's personal life as she continued to pave her way into making music at the highest level. With production from Jake One, Boi-Ida, and The Rascals, the album had the potential of contributing to R&B's revival thanks to the variety of artists blending the genre. With a baller-ass sportswriter like Rhiannon Walker joining Vance and Ahmad this week, you know you're going to be in for a treat. The three choose their favorite songs from the project, talk about hating the club (specifically being there for a significant other), why Tory Lanez is a certified-fuccboi, and why It Was Good Until It Wasn't needs to be the album of summer situationships in 2021 as Kehlani.

After taking a couple weeks off, Alex and Bobby return to discuss how baseball is engaging with the social unrest around police brutality. They bring on Micah Johnson, former major league second baseman, to talk about the 2015 Orioles-White Sox game played in front of no fans due to protests in Baltimore, what it was like being in that atmosphere, and how baseball’s relationship with activism has shifted since then. Then they do a deep dive into protests and politics in baseball history, and probe why those stories seem few and far between.
