EPISODE 34 | LOVE & POLITRICKS
Nov 1401:19:12Tap to summarizePut on your tin foil Pooh Shiesty, because the conspiracies are on 10 in this week’s episode of #RANTSWITHANTDAMNiT. ANT opens by planning his own funeral like it’s a red-carpet event, proving that even mortality can’t escape his sense of humor. From there, the rabbit hole goes nuclear — Tom Brady’s cloning his dead dog (because apparently grief has a budget), Erika Kirk’s lustful admiration for VP JD Vance gives new meaning to “political thirst,” and the infamous Brick Girl, Roda Osman, learns that viral fame has consequences. Floyd Mayweather might’ve sold more than a fight this time, Jake Paul cancels his bout with Tank Davis in cryptic influencer fashion, and Laila Ali says “no” to Clarissa Shields in a decision that shook the sport. Meanwhile, Wanda Sykes draws a cultural line in the sand, pledging to always hire a Black woman over a Black man — and Maino reminds everyone that loyalty still trumps PR. Death, dogs, and delusion — just another week in America’s circus of “love and politricks.” FOLLOW @fatliverjones http://linktr.ee/antdamnit FOLLOW @thereeltalk973 http://linktr.ee/thereeltalk973

EPISODE 33 | WINNIE THE POOH feat. @shagotthegoodz
Nov 702:13:12Tap to summarizeSome episodes make you laugh. This one makes you flinch. Episode 33, “Winnie the Pooh,” is what happens when trauma decides to grab the mic. Featuring @shagotthegoodz — a creator, a survivor, and possibly my long-lost twin from an alternate universe — we unpack everything from teenage motherhood to the chaos of living life on the move, to the plot twist of being put on child support by your ex. No scripts. No filters. Just the raw, ugly, unedited human experience disguised as entertainment. We call it “content.” Therapy might call it “a cry for help.” Either way, you’re about to relate to something you didn’t even know you needed. #RANTSWITHANTDAMNiT — where we don’t just rant, we bleed honestly.

EPISODE 32 | THE TERMS & CONDITIONS
Oct 3101:25:01Tap to summarizeANT comes off hiatus swinging in Episode 32: “The Terms & Conditions.” This week’s RANT is pure fire — starting with the unspoken truth that Black barbers who do everything but cut hair — philosophers with clippers, prophets with no edge-ups. From there, ANT dives into the Netflix Ed Gein documentary and the twisted psychology behind serial killers and their “mommy complexes.” He drags Hollywood’s addiction to over-sexed scenes and laughs through the confusion of freaky-horror shows that make you question if you’re aroused or terrified. But then the mic gets serious — ANT dissects the internet’s obsession with Brian McKnight’s family estrangement, exposes the “side baby” scandal of Michael Blackson and Rada, and pulls no punches on the cardinal sins of open relationships. Then the gloves come off — ANT tackles how “pro-Black” circles apply loyalty tests to identity itself, using the Native Land vs. Marc Lamont Hill feud as proof that intellect and ego often wear the same mask. The episode closes with Cash Money vs. No Limit, Verzuz for the culture, and a hard truth: in this generation, every movement, love story, and belief comes with a clause.

EPISODE 31 | MY INTERNAL MONOLOGUE feat. @thecloudiest
Oct 1702:12:36Tap to summarizeThis week’s episode isn’t just another rant—it’s a full-on mental sparring session between brutal honesty and emotional restraint. In “My Internal Monologue,” @FatLiverJones and @thecloudiest dive headfirst into the messy gray areas of modern manhood, morality, and mental health—where logic and emotion collide. We kick things off with a question that hits harder than expected: How long should someone grieve the death of an ex? The debate unravels into a brutally real discussion on closure, attachment, and the quiet war between pride and pain. From there, @thecloudiest drops a live update from Chicago, where the National Guard presence has sparked conversation and controversy about federal overreach, local safety, and what it really means to “restore order.” Then, we take a sharp turn west—to the state of Oregon, and its ongoing experiment with drug decriminalization (per NPR and The New York Times). Has it created safer communities or opened the floodgates to chaos? The tension doesn’t let up. Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez finds himself in headlines again—this time for a violent assault investigation (ESPN, TMZ Sports). Kyren Lacey’s shocking allegations reveal how quickly dreams can unravel in today’s cancel culture. And then the unfiltered question no one wants to ask: Is therapy the biggest scam in modern society—or is it saving lives we can’t see? Nick (@thecloudiest) gets personal, opening up about his experience with brain surgery—a raw, honest story about recovery, resilience, and how trauma reshapes the mind. Then, we pivot to legacy: What will Diddy’s name mean once his prison sentence is over? Why hasn’t Charlie Sheen faced the same moral reckoning for his past? And how does society decide who gets forgiven? From there, the conversation hits familiar but deeply human notes—our first drinks, our first heartbreaks, and learning to show compassion for the same parents who raised us through their own trauma. It’s emotional. It’s chaotic. It’s unfiltered intellect. This episode marks the first glimpse into a new 2026 project from @FatLiverJones and @thecloudiest—and trust us, this is only the beginning.

EPISODE 30 | MY TRAUMA MADE ME DO IT
Oct 401:29:30Tap to summarizeWhat would you do if you hit the Powerball? ANT didn’t win—but that doesn’t stop him from letting the world know exactly how he’d splurge. From there, the rant spiral begins: why do people care so much about how others spend their own money? That question cracks open bigger conversations about legacy, culture, and contradictions: 💸 BMF’s legacy and how it still influences the streets and pop culture today. 🕵🏽 The misuse of the word “snitch” by today’s generation—and why it matters. 📺 A full rundown of the docs and shows taking over ANT’s watchlist: • Magic City: An American Fantasy (per Variety)—and why Black feminists still target Nelly’s “Tip Drill” video. • STAN (HBO)—how Eminem created a fan subculture long before “The Hive” or “The Barbz.” • Godfather of Harlem (MGM+)—the real history lessons hidden inside the drama. • Shrinking (Apple TV+)—when comedy meets real-life therapy struggles. • Unknown Number: The High School Catfish—the wildest catfish you’ve NEVER heard of. But it wouldn’t be #RANTSWITHANTDAMNiT without the unapologetic extras: 🍒 Sharing a titty (yep, you read that right). 💰 Dr. Umar Johnson’s latest scam and why people still fall for him. ✝️ Organized religion under fire—is faith saving people or scamming them? 🐅 And the question every parent needs to answer: Why do you let your kids watch Animal Planet? This episode is part comedy, part cultural critique, and part therapy session gone wrong. It’s raw, reckless, righteous—and guaranteed to make you laugh, argue, and rethink what you thought you knew.

EPISODE 29 | YN's NEED VACATIONS feat. @brotherjames_14
Sep 2401:59:51Tap to summarizeThis week, we’re chopping it up with none other than Brother James—“Your Favorite Man of God”—from The Burban Boys Network, and let’s just say this episode is a ride through faith, controversy, culture, and the chaos of 2025. We kick things off by asking the real questions: Who IS Brother James? How did he earn the title “Your Favorite Man of God”? And what has podcasting taught him about himself, his voice, and his purpose in today’s digital battlefield? Then the gloves come off: ⚖️ Free Speech or Free-For-All? – In the wake of the murder of Charlie Clark (as reported by The Washington Post and NBC News), we dissect what “free speech” really means when lives are on the line and platforms are weaponized. 👑 Being a Boss vs. Wearing the Drama – Everyone wants the title, but what’s the REAL cost of leadership in business and culture? 🎙️ Culture Vultures in Podcasting – How to spot them, how to avoid them, and how to protect authenticity in a world where everyone wants a mic. 📱 Mind-Numbing Social Media – From TikTok rabbit holes to Instagram reels, what’s our favorite guilty pleasure content keeping us hooked? 🚧 Setting Boundaries – Why it’s more radical than self-care—it’s survival. 🏛️ Political Propaganda & Sanctuary Cities – Are “sanctuary cities” (per NPR and New York Times reports) a safe haven, or just another tool in America’s never-ending culture wars? 💥 The Abuse of Power – How easy it is to cross the line when power is unchecked, and why history keeps repeating itself. And trust us—this is just scratching the surface. This episode is messy, unfiltered, and necessary. It’s a collision of faith, politics, and cultural honesty that will spark arguments in the comments, debates in the group chats, and uncomfortable truths in your head long after the episode ends. 🎧 Press play!

SHOOTING THE SHIT | HIDDEN AGENDAS feat @drakuladadon
Sep 1701:23:41Tap to summarizeOn this special edition of #RANTSWITHANTDAMNiT: Shooting The Shit, ANT links up with rapper, actor, and author @drakulathadon for a no-holds-barred conversation titled “Hidden Agendas.” We dive deep into who Drakula Da Don really is—from his gritty upbringing to the lessons that shaped his hustle and his art. He opens up about how becoming a parent shifted his entire perspective on life, forcing him to face the responsibilities and realities that too many try to run from. But this ain’t just surface talk. We get into the controversial trenches: 🔥 Deadbeat moms and the double standards nobody wants to admit. 🔥 Child support—is it accountability, or is it just another system built to break men? 🔥 Parenting in 2025—why raising kids today is nothing like how we were raised. 🔥 The projects on deck—from music to writing to acting, Drakula lays out what’s next. This episode pulls zero punches and asks the questions most podcasts are too scared to touch. It’s a cultural therapy session, a barbershop debate, and a hood philosophy lecture—all wrapped into one. 🎙 Hidden Agendas isn’t just a title—it’s a warning. The truths we hit in this episode will spark arguments, shift perspectives, and maybe even expose the hypocrisies we all ignore. 📲 Press play, join the conversation, and don’t be afraid to get uncomfortable. #RANTSWITHANTDAMNiT | Shooting The Shit | Culture. Chaos. No Chaser.

EPISODE 28 | MARTIN LUTHER THE QUEEN feat @thecloudiest
Sep 501:59:33Tap to summarize#RANTS This episode isn’t just a rant—it’s a cultural intervention. In Episode 28, titled “Martin Luther The Queen,” @fatliverjones and special guest @thecloudiest turn up the heat on today’s most controversial conversations and give you the raw honesty no other podcast dares to touch. First, we take a deep dive into the explosive Netflix doc on Jussie Smollett—is he finally telling the truth or still standing firm in a lie that shook the culture? Nick isn’t buying it, ANT wants to know why Jussie refuses to fold, and the receipts will make you question everything you thought you knew. Then, Raven-Symoné steps into the crossfire. Is the beloved Disney star being systematically emasculated, or is there something darker at play—a humiliation kink that’s hiding in plain sight? The fellas go ALL the way there. From there, we nerd out on how the podcast game has changed—for better AND worse. Are the big networks ruining the raw essence of podcasting, or is it just evolving? And then it gets political: Why is the Mayor of D.C. THANKING Trump for sending in the National Guard to clean up the streets? What does that say about how Black violence vs. White violence is portrayed in the media? This one will spark debate in EVERY comment section. We also honor the 20th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, revisiting the latest documentaries and exposing what’s STILL not being told about one of the most devastating disasters in U.S. history. This is unapologetic commentary at its finest—funny, reckless, thought-provoking, and 100% unfiltered. If you’re ready for rants that make you THINK (and clutch your pearls), press play NOW. 📲 Listen, subscribe, and join the movement. #RANTSWITHANTDAMNiT | Culture. Truth. No Chaser.

EPISODE 27 | GOD BLESS
Aug 2901:23:53Tap to summarizeGrab your helmet and a double shot of espresso, because this one is pure chaos in audio form. We’re kicking off with the wildest conversation in pop culture: the new Netflix doc on Jussie Smollett. Did the streets get the truth—or is Netflix running another sympathy play? Then we dive straight into the Smollett family drama as Jurnee Smollett’s ex-husband is demanding HALF her retirement. Half. Of. Her. Retirement. If you’re screaming prenup right now, you’re not alone. But the madness doesn’t stop there—Anthony Edwards’ baby mama is HEATED because the baller’s child support deal is locked and she can’t squeeze more out of him. Entitlement or fair fight? You decide. Meanwhile, Dr. Umar Johnson’s dream schools are drowning in court judgments in Delaware. Pan-African kingdom looking shaky or just growing pains? And then we have David Justice catching backlash over comments about his ex-wife Halle Berry. Are men finally speaking their truth—or should some stories stay buried? Speaking of buried… Sha’Carri Richardson responds to a video of her allegedly abusing her boyfriend. Are we canceling her now, or does context matter? Add to that ESPN axing the Colin Kaepernick docuseries produced by Spike Lee, Lil Yachty embarrassing himself trying to spit “lyrical” bars, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell catching a federal indictment, and Trina performing at Sea World (yes, SEA WORLD). And if that wasn’t enough, Cam’ron proves once again that petty is a lifestyle. Plus—I break down why I’m NOT a fan of adoption. Yeah… we’re going there. This episode is pure unfiltered, unhinged, unapologetic energy. No safe spaces. No sugarcoating. No mercy. 🎧 Tap in, argue with me in the comments, and let’s set the internet on fire.

EPISODE 26 | CULTURALLY INAPPROPRIATE
Aug 2201:29:08Tap to summarizeThis week, the espresso is strong and the takes are straight black—no sugar, no apologies. We start with a deep dive into the wildest WNBA promo of all time—DILDO NIGHT?! Yeah, you read that right. Then, I peel back the curtain on my own bloodwork results and why they got me rethinking some things (or not). From there, we hit the culture with zero brakes: Why are y’all STILL asking Trick Daddy about his dating preferences? Enough already. Ari Lennox and the fake outrage over Martin—is it really about colorism or are we just looking for something to cancel? Drake fans, blink twice if you’re tired. It must be exhausting defending that man every week. Trump Burger’s owner detained by ICE?! The irony writes itself. Kamala Harris says she’s out the political game because “it’s rigged”—let’s unpack that. Why fathers NEED to take their daughters fishing before TikTok raises them. And finally, which federal agency has the BEST PR team in America? The answer will shock you. It’s raw, it’s reckless, it’s righteous—exactly what you came for. Press play, pour up something strong, and let’s get culturally inappropriate together. Check the Patreon for "The Reel Talk with The Joneses" http://linktr.ee/thereeltalk973
