Now that the multiple-year-long slog known as the presidential election is over, Buki and Jason are back with another episode to share their thoughts on the president-elect, Joe Biden. From people taking to the streets to celebrate the win of a 77-year old white racist, rapist, corrupt war criminal over a 74-year old white racist, rapist, corrupt war criminal to the need to make every public figure a "personality," we give our takes on the election season as well as the four years to come. After that, we talk about problematic queen, Ariana Grande's, latest album, "positions" [24:07]. Along the way, we share our opinions on a whole litany of topics, including but not limited to: fellow problematic queen Nicki Minaj, fellow extremely-problematic wouldn't-call-her-a-queen Doja Cat, Nav, Ohio State, and Busta Rhyme's "Arab Money."

Rush Hour

"4PF: 4 Prisons Full"

The Rush Hour Podcast still, indeed, makes podcasts! It has been a quarantine-length break from podcasts, but we (still quarantining) are back with another thirty minutes of content!  In this episode, Buki and Jason share their thoughts on the late Pop Smoke's new album, "Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon," and the new Hannibal Buress special, "Miami Nights." We also talk white music comparisons to Young Thug and Gunna, "Old Town Road"-style remixes to "The Box," and explain why we haven't been able to release content with any sort of consistency.

"Woo"

Another week, another wave of media to distract us from the ever-growing pit of despair and hopelessness within! Look, we get it. The timeline is in complete disarray. Twitter is either incredibly depressed (as usual) or just entirely too horny (...as usual). And as for IG, well, there are only so many golden hour-lit selfies in couches and depressed celebrities complaining from rooms with 12-foot ceilings that one can take. Even the unexplained-wealth lifestyle posts that fill the explore page feel just that tad bit more insidious than usual. Simply, social media has reached new heights (lows?) of social media-ness. Which is why we're back in the studio with another 45 minutes of content! Buki and Jason get to the bottom of who really started the Demon Time ?™ movement, expose creatives twitter, before shouting out everyone in the night life industry finding new ways to make a living during this pandemic. Then, we reflect on the suspension of Bernie Sander's campaign, shit on Joe Biden and the backwards healthcare industry. Thank y'all for listening! Subscribe and share this podcast with your friends!

Episode 20: "Demon Time Diplomacy"

It's been a minute! Buki and Jason are back for our first episode of 2020! Yes, one could say it's been arguably an unacceptable period of time since our last podcast, but just look at your timeline. Shits happened. But we figured we'd join in on the onslaught of  C O N T E N T  that you've been bombarded with for the last month with our own covid-19-oriented podcast! Don't worry, we're not here to wax poetic about how we've rediscovered self-care through social distancing or pitch you on some $40 mandarin orange/cedar/rosemary hand soap (Aesop send us the mf check). What we have in this 18-minute pod is a time-capsule of sorts, a raw reaction from the start of the pandemic panic (March 12, to be exact lol). It's a throwback to a time of either worrying about the potentially cataclysmic effect of the virus on the broken US healthcare system, or worrying about how badly you were gonna get judged for going out on st. patrick's day weekend. It's a pretty raw podcast overall as well, which is why we decided to call this one another episode zero. Thanks for listening y'all! We truly and honestly do have more content on the way soon, please subscribe, leave us a good review on Apple Podcasts or whatever client you use to listen, and share with your friends! It would really mean a ton to us.  And most importantly, please stay safe!! We love all of y'all ❤️
