    EPISODE 110 – THE JUNGLE SQUAD CAST Hosted by Ape Loso (@apeishere_), Rad (@radical_jl), and Rahh (@_rahhbanks) 🎥 YouTube: @jscnetwork_ 📸 Instagram: @thejunglesquadcast

    Welcome back to the wild, where real conversations echo through the trees and the truth swings freely from vine to vine. This week, The Jungle Squad Cast enters its 110th episode — and we’re not slowing down.

    We’re joined by a brand new face in the jungle, Mike Paul, who steps into the den with us to share his journey, business moves, and unique perspective. After getting to know the man behind the name, the conversation branches out in classic Jungle Squad fashion — raw, honest, and unpredictable.

    We kick things off in the heart of the music world, where the drums of the underground never stop beating. From Joey Bada$$’s East Coast lyricism clashing with West Coast energy, to deep dives into Tee Grizzley’s "Forever My Moment", Snoop Dogg’s soulful “Is It a Crime”, and Rob49’s “Let Me Fly”, we question what moves us — and what doesn’t.

    But it wouldn’t be Jungle Squad without some fire from the culture. In our Trendy segment, we unpack the ongoing chaos of the Diddy trial, as major names like Kid Cudi hit the stand. We explore the bizarre arrest of Haha Davis, the tragic story of Karmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old charged as an adult for murder, and stir up the pot with the Papoose vs Remy Ma saga. Plus, we ask the question everyone’s wondering: what exactly is Streamer University?

    As always, we take it home with what stirs the soul — relationships. Why has intimacy taken a backseat in so many modern relationships? What’s the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to you while dating? And what happens when trying to spice things up turns into a full-blown disaster? We even touch on the age-old dilemma — should you confront your partner’s toxic family, or let them fight their own battles?

    This episode is for the grown, the curious, the bold, and the ones navigating love, life, and legacy in the jungle of adulthood.
