Episode 107 | "The Brass Tail" (DJXP feat. EverythingOSauN & Trivelle Simpson)
2d ago01:50:41Tap to summarizeEpisode 107 starts with what Trivelle (pictured in the middle) calls, “I’ve been waiting two years for this.” The crew jumps straight into the end of Drake’s Iceman saga, breaking down the stream, the rollout, the Toronto takeover, and the visual-heavy release strategy surrounding the new album(s). From the artistic side to the business side, sales expectations, insider stories, and theories about why Drake approached this release as three separate projects, the conversation covers it all without doing a full review, as the music was less than 24 hours old at the time of recording. As Toronto natives themselves, the hosts dive into the significance of the city references, visuals, and rollout moments that outsiders may not fully understand. After spending nearly an hour unpacking everything Drake dropped, the episode shifts into a story the comment section demanded after a line DJXP said in the previous episode: “One day we’re going to have a real conversation about Marvin Gaye.” XP revisits that statement by reading through some of the alleged controversies surrounding Marvin Gaye and discussing why a proper biopic on him may be far more complicated than other legendary artists whose accusations have remained more of a footnote in their legacy. After the cohosts are left shocked beyond belief, the conversation naturally spirals into a discussion about voyeurism, relationships, and the mindset someone would need to have to want to watch their partner be with somebody else in the name of pleasure. That topic leads directly into a viral story about a woman who had been dating a man serious about marriage, but who continuously delayed taking the next step. Another wealthy suitor stepped in, openly challenged the procrastinating boyfriend, and ended up marrying her within six days. The hosts debate whether that situation is truly crazy considering the unconventional ways many relationships begin. That opens the door for another Summer House discussion, specifically the Amanda, West, and Ciara situation that the podcast has been covering throughout the season. The hosts compare the betrayal dynamics from the viral story to what unfolded on the show behind Ciara’s back, while also discussing the upcoming reunion, the future of the Summer House universe beyond the summer setting, and why the franchise has separated itself from many other reality shows. From there, the conversation pivots into broader reality TV history before transitioning into film and television, including Netflix’s adaptation of Man on Fire starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. After discussing his performance and his recent momentum following Wonder Man, the hosts debate the reasons both for and against his rise in Hollywood, compare his trajectory to Michael B. Jordan, and discuss how some actors outgrow television after getting their start there. The episode closes with a broader conversation about Hollywood making room for only a select few Black leading actors at a time, before rounding things out with thoughts on Euphoria, the Toronto Tempo first impressions, and more.

Episode 106 | WELL! (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)
3w ago01:46:20Tap to summarizeEpisode 106 starts off with Trivelle sharing news about some of his legal troubles (“the drama people suing me”) before the music talk kicks off with the The New York Times interview with Jay-Z, which is also tied to their list recognizing the top 30 unranked living American songwriters. The crew dissects parts of Jay’s interview before getting into the subs that people feel are aimed at Drake, especially Jay’s remarks about older artists coming across as inauthentic when trying too hard to relate to the youth. After that conversation runs its course, they mention artists who were included (like Young Thug, Kendrick Lamar, etc.) versus names who were not present (Drake, J. Cole, etc.), and the discussions around those omissions. Another list gets discussed this one ranked: the Top 100 Vocalists of All Time, with Kendrick Lamar being placed at number 20 over artists like Brandy, Little Richard, Chaka Khan, Diana Ross, Amy Winehouse, Elton John, Teddy Pendergrass, Bill Withers, Luther Vandross, Sade, and Kurt Cobain. After that very controversial list and segment, things move on to Drake’s upcoming album Iceman, slated for the middle of this month, the ice sculpture in Toronto, and expectations creatively for the project, including features. OshauN then brings up wrestling, discussing Shawn Michaels and his recent documentary, including some of the regrets he had in the business, such as his portrayal alongside The Rock. XP then tells the crew about the Verzuz announced between French Montana and Rick Ross, which is being dubbed a “celebration.” They joke about possible stipulations, while Trivelle gives a hot take that Ross would wipe the floor with French, even playing songs from both artists to illustrate the point. OshauN suggests a Wale vs Meek Mill matchup for MMG supremacy, leading to a debate between Trivelle and OshauN about who would come out on top. As XP and OshauN get more familiar with the reality show Summer House — which Trivelle introduced in the last episode and was well received, XP reads comments from viewers (including corrections) before asking whether Amanda was right to pursue someone who was in a relationship with her friend, especially someone her friend Ciara confided in her about. As Trivelle answers, bringing in some of his own anecdotal experiences, the group concludes that Amanda and Wes showed little regard for who they hurt, as their idea of love outweighed the collateral damage. The conversation expands into whether anyone on the podcast has ever felt strongly enough about someone to risk destroying other friendships, and what that would look like. After a rollercoaster discussion, XP brings the group to talk about Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson, their public drama and breakup, the perception, and the outside commentary surrounding it. They then discuss Taylor Swift’s 2018 contract that could result in many Universal Music Group artists getting paid as equity in Spotify is sold. The crew briefly touches on the upcoming Michael film, holding off on full commentary until Trivelle catches up in theatres. OshauN also reflects on his time at the theatre watching itand suggests they should let Jaafar Jackson perform as Michael Jackson on tour, similar to how other iconic artists have been honored posthumously. Here is Episode 106.

Episode 105 | "Verticals" (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)
Apr 1701:33:08Tap to summarizeEpisode 105 kicks off with the crew addressing a viral clip from the last episode, clarifying their comments and reacting to the unexpected attention around their wardrobe. From there, the conversation shifts to Dave Chappelle and the possibility of a return to Chappelle's Show. The crew debates whether a revival could even work in 2026 and expands into a broader discussion about comedy questioning why comedians are expected to constantly create new material, while musicians can rely on their “greatest hits.” Next, they dive into Coachella Week 1, focusing on Justin Bieber’s headline-grabbing performance. With minimal theatrics and a heavy emphasis on vocals, Bieber’s set sparked conversation online especially his focus on newer material and the questionable Macbook youtube gate. The crew also breaks down the business side, including his reported catalog sale and music ownership and how that may have influenced the setlist. The episode then moves into the announcement of the Chris Brown x Usher joint tour, including two major stops in Toronto at the Rogers Stadium. They debate who would walk on stage first (and technically open), how the show could be structured, and whether fans might get a Verzuz-style experience between the two R&B giants. From there, the conversation turns to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees and honorees, including Wu-Tang Clan, Phil Collins, Oasis, Fela Kuti, Sade, and Luther Vandross, along with the surrounding debates and controversies Noah Gallager has. Switching into entertainment and reality TV, the crew unpacks the drama from Summer House, focusing on the relationship fallout between Ciara Miller, West Wilson, and Amanda Batula, with the reunion looming. The tone then shifts to a more serious discussion surrounding influencer Ashlee Jenae and the ongoing investigation into her tragic death while on vacation in Tanzania. The crew discusses the online discourse, questions around the case, and the troubling narratives emerging on social media. To close out the episode, they touch on WrestleMania and the launch of Toronto Tempo, as Canada prepares for its first WNBA franchise. A packed episode covering comedy, music, culture, and real-world conversations tap in.

Episode 104 | Cap-O-Tea (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)
Apr 601:58:50Tap to summarizeAfter a brief hiatus, You Might Wanna Sit Down 4 This returns with Episode 104. The episode kicks off with the crew wrapping up their final thoughts on the awards run for Sinners, closing the chapter on a film that has been a major talking point across multiple episodes. From Ryan Coogler’s direction to Michael B. Jordan’s performances, the guys debate whether the right trophies were awarded on Oscar night and revisit past award cycles where films were snubbed, only to be recognized in later years. Staying in the world of visual media, the conversation shifts to their closing thoughts on the hit series Paradise, breaking down Season 2 and how the show holds up overall. Things take a hilarious turn when a post-podcast story involving Sterling K. Brown sparks a wild debate about an awkward interaction involving his wife and therapist leading into an unexpected (and funny) conversation about shower etiquette and boundaries. From there, the crew catches up on all the music they missed during their break, including releases from James Blake, Jack Harlow, RAYE, and Kanye West, diving into projects like Trying Times, Monica, This Album May Contain Hope, and Bully. DJXP then circles back to give credit where it’s due, praising Cardi B for proving her longevity, both with her latest album and her elite touring ability after selling out shows in Toronto and Hamilton. The episode also touches on Jaden Ivey and the controversy surrounding his outspoken religious stance in the NBA, as well as a deeper ethical discussion to close things out … centered around a viral couple navigating life with osteogenesis imperfecta and the difficult decision of starting a family. A packed episode covering film, music, culture, and real-life debates tap into Episode 104

Episode 103 | Who's Clean? (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)
Mar 601:30:45Tap to summarizeThe episode kicks off with a deep dive into one of the biggest conversations happening in music right now: AI-generated music and copyright. Following the news that Apple is introducing transparency tags on Apple Music to disclose when artificial intelligence is used in songs, the crew debates what this means for the future of music. With the U.S. confirming that works created purely by AI cannot receive copyright protection without meaningful human authorship, the conversation quickly turns philosophical. Should artists be able to monetize music that uses AI tools? Trivelle argues that any use of AI in music should disqualify it from profit, while OShauN believes audiences will ultimately crave authenticity and push back against AI-generated art despite mass adpotion and current appeal. The discussion branches into whether AI samples in production count as “AI music,” how algorithms on streaming platforms quietly push AI songs into passive listening situations, and why younger listeners might still demand real artists and human connection. The crew also reacts to moments where artists faced backlash for using AI tools, and even jokes about which artists might need an AI tag themselves *ahem Ye* After the AI mega-conversation, Trivelle and OShauN briefly tease their excitement for Season 2 of Paradise, (before spoiling anything for DJXP) before the show shifts fully into movie territory. The guys unpack the BAFTA Awards controversy with actor John Davidson before diving into a celebration of Michael B. Jordan and the cast of Sinners, following their impressive run across the BAFTA Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. With Jordan stacking wins, the crew debates whether his dual performance has officially entered Academy Awards territory proving OShauN's early analysis right. That conversation leads to a larger appreciation of Ryan Coogler and the incredible way he launched his directing career with Fruitvale Station, before building a run of major box-office hits leading up to Sinners. Looking ahead to awards season, the hosts speculate about which films could compete with Sinners on Oscar night, including One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, and Hamnet. Along the way the crew also touches on: Timothée Chalamet appearing less than thrilled about Jordan’s SAG win Hollywood potentially fumbling the chance to cast Idris Elba as James Bond Speculation around Damson Idris possibly being considered for Black Panther Jonathan Majors appearing in a film produced by The Daily Wire Auston Matthews visiting the White House Jim Carrey seemingly channeling real-life The Mask energy The episode closes with a major entertainment industry development: Paramount Global potentially catching its white whale in securing Warner Bros. Discovery, after Netflix reportedly backed away from the massive $111 billion price tag.

Episode 102 | 250 (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)
Feb 2001:47:56Tap to summarizeEpisode 102 kicks off with the cast trying the new Canada-exclusive Drake menu at McDonald’s (which we later learned has sparked some controversy). That leads into a conversation about other artist-led fast food collaborations and the days when restaurants actually had great deals. From there, we dive into music starting with Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance earlier this month, the reactions to him performing in Spanish, and the comparisons people made to Kendrick’s halftime show last year. We unpack all the nuance and discourse before touching on Chris Brown’s comments about the NFL and performing at the Super Bowl. The conversation continues with J. Cole’s album The Fall Off and a debate about the best double-disc albums ever, Don Toliver’s Octane, artists who’ve successfully introduced other major stars to the world, Charli XCX’s Wuthering Heights, Brent Faiyaz’s latest album ICONS, and musicians who’ve expanded their sound without backlash. We wrap up by addressing the recent Lil Wayne slander and the public’s underestimation of T.I.’s catalog especially when it comes to a potential Verzuz battle.

Episode 101 | Some Pundits (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)
Feb 601:49:18Tap to summarizeKicking off the post-100-episode era with Episode 101 entitled “Some Pundits,” the first portion of the show is dedicated to the elongated hiatus that began around Christmas. After an injury that Trivelle sustained, he explains what happened and shares lessons learned from people who checked on him. Once reacclimatized and warmed up, the gang acknowledges the new world they find themselves in after six weeks before diving into the big news event of the 2026 Grammys that just passed. While discussing the show in general, they hone in on the Hip Hop and Album of the Year categories (with Kendrick Lamar, Clipse, Tyler, the Creator, and others) and how there’s a kind of statistical pattern where early wins can indicate the likelihood of taking home bigger awards later...certain dominoes have to line up for that to happen. Although Trivelle makes some great points, the conversation expands to the Grammy tributes by Lauryn Hill and Justin Bieber's performance, the weight of jury-decided accolades versus sales, the requirements to be considered for awards, notable speeches, criticisms and more, giving the Grammy section a well-rounded discussion. Because two of the three hosts are involved with filmmaking, the conversation shifts to Oscar previews and the math of how certain Grammy wins can foreshadow bigger Oscar victories. They talk about Sinners, which broke the record with 16 nominations at the 98th Academy Awards, and discuss which categories it can win and which it might lose while still having a successful run. They also give flowers to standout performances from Coogler, MBJ, Delroy Lindo, and Wunmi Mosaku. Talk turns to Marty Supreme and the competitive race for Oscar supremacy, then briefly touches on the Michael Jackson biopic and how its billion-plus projection could change, especially after OShauN reveals plans for a second movie and the idea of splitting the story becomes central. As J. Cole’s new album The Fall Off is out now, Trivelle brings it up and they discuss expectations before OShauN tells the story of what happened with Cam’ron and Cole and the lawsuit. XP also highlights EverythingOShauN’s latest song IMAX (GOOF) playing across Canada during an NBA broadcast to end off the 101st episode.

Episode 100 | "Love Is Not Enough" (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)
Dec 1501:54:55Tap to summarizeAs the podcast reaches the ever-elusive Episode 100, DJXP kicks off the landmark moment by playing OShauN’s new record “SGA” with no warning or context to get a live reaction from Trivelle. After some quick banter about OShauN putting together new music for his next project, XP asks how everyone feels about crossing the 100-episode milestone while sharing his own thoughts. As the conversation expands, the group discusses how loving what you do in the podcast space is essential for sustainability, breaking through the noise of countless platforms, and eventually reaching the financial spaces that successful IP can occupy. When XP asks if everyone genuinely enjoys the process, Trivelle pushes back, arguing that passion alone is not sufficient or realistic in a capitalist society. He believes any venture seeking long-term staying power must be financially viable. Examples come up around his departure from music, which led to personal financial success, while XP contends that Trivelle exited prematurely because he did not love it enough. After an exchange where Trivelle asserts that money is the ultimate marker of success in creative ventures, regardless of passion-driven wishful thinking, OShauN offers an alternative perspective, focusing on the necessity of loving the craft regardless of outcome. This leads into a broader discussion about whether love for creativity can even be measured, and whether talent itself is measurable. The conversation then segues into the Diddy documentary. While only two of the three hosts watched all four episodes, they share commentary on key moments before shifting to Shedeur Sanders of the Cleveland Browns, his recent performance, and the destinations that could best position him to continue dominating. Trivelle asks the group to reflect on their biggest music moments and takeaways from the year, along with who they consider Hip Hop’s MVP, with XP’s choice shocking the group. Favorite albums, top TV series, Netflix’s pending acquisition of Warner Bros., and other major film moments are discussed, alongside thoughts on 2026 releases and the rapid integration of AI into social media and consumer tech. The episode closes with DJXP asking OShauN why he wrote a song inspired by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Episode 99 | Orbit (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)
Dec 101:50:00Tap to summarizeEpisode 99 opens with Trivelle steering the conversation back to the podcast’s early, more provocative days. He boldly claims that whether she admits it or not every woman is aware when a man is interested in her. The group debates what defines a “crush”: is it simply feeling someone is attractive, or something that must be acted upon? From there they shift to music: they discuss Gunna’s back-to-back shows in Toronto at a 10,000-capacity venue. XP points out that’s impressive for an artist performing outside the continental U.S., especially given the efforts to “get him out the way” after the YSL trial and related gang-snitch allegations. Given those pressures, Gunna’s perseverance and ability to organize successful shows earns respect. They ask whether Young Thug could still pull off equal or greater shows in Toronto today debating venue size, promotion, and logistics. Trivelle compares Young Thug’s potential to the recent 3-night run by Vybz Kartel in Toronto, and they mention How Drake surprisingly performed Show 1 on his birthday. XP praises Kartel’s stage presence and overall performance. Then T asks whether Tyla could draw a strong venue in town. Shifting gears, they talk about one of the ongoing social-media controversies: after Elon Musk unveiled Twitter’s new location sharing feature, social-media “stan” accounts are in uproar especially the ones created or rose to prominence during the Kendrick Drake some posting reckless claims. OShauN argues that people who talk recklessly online should have to show their faces and account for their words in real life. They close out by giving love to Wale’s latest release via Def Jam Recordings, and expressing excitement about how the Toronto Raptors are playing lately. Check out Episode 99.

Episode 98 | Taylor Sheridan (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)
Nov 1701:55:47Tap to summarizeEpisode 98 begins with the gang responding to reactions from their previous clips about the No Limit vs Cash Money VERZUZ battle, where the internet overwhelmingly called them crazy for even suggesting the matchup was close...let alone leaning toward Cash Money. Things move on to the surprise Offset project that seemingly dropped out of nowhere. After some digging, and based on Offset’s own words, the mixtape was simply a ploy to “get out the deal.” The crew discusses other times in music history when the line between album and mixtape was blurred, especially when it comes to contract fulfillment. DJXP then brings up a conversation Ja Rule had on 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony, where Ja said he doesn't take credit for starting the sing-rap trend in hip-hop...but does take credit for pioneering the singer/rapper duet formula. He also claimed his music aged better than 50 Cent’s while still giving 50 his flowers. The group debates their catalogs and the long-standing beef. Next, they talk about Outkast’s legendary induction into the highly coveted Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Before sharing their thoughts, they address the vocal flubs that occurred during Doja Cat’s tribute performance of “Ms. Jackson.” Following last episode’s conversation about Ye, multiple new Kanye West sightings have popped up including him asking a rabbi for forgiveness and performing with Travis Scott in Japan leading to a discussion about his quiet re-emergence. As Summer Walker’s new album drops, DJXP praises her marketing campaign before addressing backlash over her collaborating with Chris Brown. The group then discusses the dangerous precedent of AI in music, especially surrounding Xania Monet and her viral interview with Gayle King....where Gayle bluntly told her, “but you can’t sing.” The episode wraps with Grammy nominations, predictions on who will win key awards, and a Pluribus 2 reaction that leads to praise for Vince Gilliam and eventually for TV writer Taylor Sheridan.
