The Belgrave Brothers ring in the New Year reflecting on their New Year's Eve experiences, including a serious conversation about celebratory gunfire, gun ownership, and personal safety, with Shakes sharing his thoughts on buying a long gun for protection. The mood shifts as the crew jokes about movies where actors were really injured on set and welcomes Tracy after the usual roasting for staying muted.

Music and industry talk follow, with Miami vibes setting the tone and discussion around JB's upcoming performance tied to Crader Records and Sony Records. The brothers also weigh in on hip-hop gossip involving Benzino and Bobby V, Benzino's influence, and broader questions about direction and focus within the podcast space.

The episode closes with a packed sports rundown: college football playoff debates, NIL and transfer portal arguments, Miami's momentum, and game predictions involving Ole Miss, Oregon, and Ohio State. NFL talk rounds things out with fan behavior, player safety, betting lines, MVP frustration, and quarterback futures—unfiltered, opinionated, and classic Belgrave Brothers energy.
