29 APR 2025 · This week on Great Minds Drink Alike (Ep 72), we open with a heartfelt tribute to the life of Kyren Lacy, honoring his memory and legacy. The crew dives into the viral Pop the Balloon YouTube series now making waves on Netflix — is it worth the hype?
We react to Soulja Boy’s recent sexual assault lawsuit, Zion Williamson’s latest messy love triangle that led to his girlfriend’s arrest, and Tyreek Hill finding himself in hot water after a family dispute made headlines.
In our Puff It or Pass It segment: The Texas Senate just passed a law requiring fathers to pay child support from the moment of conception — is it a W or a reach?
We also tackle the double standards in the case of Karmelo Anthony, a young man arrested after defending himself in a fatal fight. Is justice ever truly fair?
Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree finally squash their legendary beef, and for the Question of the Week, we ask:
Is Black Excellence a scam?
We dive into the real meaning behind the phrase and whether it’s helping or hurting the culture.

4 MAR 2025 · This episode is packed with the raw and the real. The guys start by paying their respects to the legendary Angie Stone after her sudden passing. They dive into her legacy, her impact on music, and the controversy surrounding her not receiving all her publishing rights. In a wild turn of events, Hanna Cobb’s shocking story makes headlines as she claims she was “cleaning her gun” when her boyfriend was killed. The guys unpack the situation and the questions surrounding it. The boxing world had everyone talking as Gervonta Davis took on Lamont Roach. Should Tank get credit for that knockdown? Who really is the future of boxing, and can Devin Haney bounce back after a rough 2024? In hip-hop news, Lil Baby is catching heat for gang violence in his hometown. But is it fair to blame an artist for street tragedies? Fresco brings a real question to the table: Is there an age limit on the streets?

🎶 “Half & Half” by Playboi Carti (Malone)
🎶 “So Beautiful” by Johny Venus ft. 6lack (Fresco)
We also tackle the tragic death of Caleb Wilson and the dark side of hazing in 'Divine 9' fraternities. Are these frats and sororities crossing the line into cult-like behavior?
