Show notes
Smooth is back with a live session turned podcast episode covering all the culture moments that had the internet talking.
First up, print fishing Smooth breaks down the viral TikTok trend where men wear padded underwear to enhance their appearance, sparking a debate about honesty, optics, and what people are really selling online.
Then it's the Lizzo flop era Smooth gives his take on where Lizzo stands in the culture right now and how the conversation around her has shifted.
Next, Smooth digs into the Anthony Fantano vs. Halsey situation. Fantano gave Halsey's album a 1 out of 10, calling it “main character syndrome” not knowing (or not caring) that she wrote it while battling a serious illness and going through chemotherapy. Halsey fired back publicly, and Smooth is firmly in her corner, calling Fantano out for his track record of tone-deaf criticism and his habit of mistaking notoriety for relevance.
After that, Smooth gets into SZA exposing Diplo for having equity in the AI music platform Suno and allegedly using it to train on the sounds and styles of Black writers and producers. SZA's message was simple: don't give away your vibranium. Smooth agrees AI is plagiarism, and Black creators are the most vulnerable and least protected.
Finally, Smooth wraps with the Big Tigger situation explaining what third-degree child cruelty actually means under Georgia law, and why he's not rushing to judgment. He also issues an on-air apology to actress Alex LaPree for a previous take he now admits was unfair, saying he didn't fully understand the law at the time.
A two-hour live session, fully unfiltered, no scripts just Smooth keeping it a hundred.
