Too Much Joking Around? | #SomeDudePod Episode 231

On this episode of the Some Dude… Pod, Mike B and J.R. Bang break down Netflix’s “Roast of Kevin Hart” and ask if there is such a thing as jokes going too far or if people forgot what a roast is supposed to be. They debate whether roasts should even be televised in an era where every clip goes viral and context gets lost. Then they tap into the Druski and Erika Kirk controversy and how satire, “punching up,” and politics collide online today.

From there, the guys run through some classic career moments like Chance the Rapper’s “Acid Rap” era and the Freddie Gibbs / Jeezy / Jim Jones saga. Mike B also checks in with his MomentaProject and early thoughts on the new Project Hail Mary movie before the show closes with a round of hot takes on comedy, hip-hop, and Hollywood.
