We back, y’all — it’s been a crazy couple of weeks! In this one, we talk about the aftermath of Chris's 27th birthday, all the FSU Homecoming chaos, and how we’ve really been doing lately. Then we get into some wild headlines — the government shutdown drama, a 2,900-page leaked Telegram chat exposing racist and violent messages from Young Republican leaders, and Angel Reese making history as the first pro athlete ever to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

And of course, we spun the wheel and took it straight into some classic Out The Blue randomness.

In this episode of Out The Blue, we dive into three major cultural flashpoints shaking politics, entertainment, and music right now.

We start with the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, who was killed during a campus tour stop in Utah. We break down what happened, why it matters, and how the fallout is reshaping conversations around political violence and free speech — with his widow, Erika Kirk, now stepping into a leadership role.

Next, we turn to late-night TV as Jimmy Kimmel faces suspension and return after his controversial monologue in the wake of Kirk’s death. What does this say about free speech, censorship, and the shifting line between comedy and commentary?

Finally, we tackle the future of music with the rise of AI artistry. An AI R&B act named Xania Monet just inked a multimillion-dollar deal, sparking backlash from artists like Kehlani and SZA. Is this innovation or exploitation?

And of course, we close things out the only way we know how — spinning the wheel and letting randomness take us wherever it may.

Tap in for culture, controversy, and conversation that cuts deeper.

This week, I’m joined by my LB Brian for an episode packed with memories, laughs, and some real talk. We take it back to one of the greatest sports weeks I ever had out in Vegas with Brian, relive some of our wild college days, and dive into the conversations happening around people denouncing Greek orgs.

We also reflect on the power of recognizing that God is good, always. Brian even surprised me with a signed Scoot Henderson jersey that had me speechless. And of course, we spun the wheel and let the randomness take us on a few hilarious tangents.

From brotherhood to blessings to bucket-list moments—this one has a little bit of everything. Tap in, you don’t want to miss it!

This week on Out The Blue, we’re unpacking a mix of tragic, wild, and straight-up unbelievable stories making headlines right now.

We kick things off with another devastating school shooting. It’s heartbreaking — again. We talk about how numb society is becoming, what real change would look like, and how the media cycles these stories like content instead of human lives.

Then, we shift gears to the internet’s latest chaos:

Lil Nas X got arrested in Los Angeles after allegedly walking naked down the street and charging at officers. Now he's facing four felony charges — we break down what really happened and whether the internet is taking it seriously or just running with the memes. 😳🎶

Cracker Barrel rolled out a new logo… and immediately caught smoke. People hated it, stocks dropped, and even the CEO had to speak out. Is it that deep? Or are people just afraid of change? 🧢🚨

Meanwhile in Florida (of course), Emely Martinez — who posed as a dentist — was arrested for supergluing fake veneers onto people’s teeth. Victims now have infections, broken smiles, and huge dental bills. We get into the psychology of “fake professionals” and why folks fall for it. 🦷😬

And yes, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged. The couple dropped a 5-photo post on IG with a caption that read, “Your English teacher and gym teacher are getting married.” The Swifties are celebrating — but what does this mean for Kelce’s NFL focus? 👀💍

It’s a wild episode. From the serious to the absurd, we’re bringing real talk, raw reactions, and a few laughs where we can.

This week we’re asking the question that can turn a chill night into a whole debate: Should your partner have a say in what you wear? Is it about respect? Insecurity? Control? We’re talking self-expression, boundaries, and who really decides what’s “appropriate” when the streets are watching.

🏀 Then we break down the wild run of sex toys getting thrown at WNBA games — six times in less than two weeks. From the crypto meme coin crew claiming it’s “protest” to players like Sophie Cunningham speaking out, we’re covering the arrests, the misogyny talk, and why the league isn’t playing about safety.

🎵 In music news, BET’s CEO just hit pause on the Soul Train Awards & Hip-Hop Awards. Are they adapting to the times or losing a piece of the culture? We dig into the history, the impact, and whether they can make a real comeback.

🎉 Plus, Bria hit me with a crazy birthday surprise — we’re going to LA for a Lakers game — and we wrap the show with a hilarious Spin the Wheel closer.

We kick things off with two ad campaigns sparking major internet drama:👖 First up: Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad — “great jeans” or pushing white beauty standards?🍩 Then: a Dunkin' Donuts commercial that left folks feeling stereotyped and salty.Both ads got labeled as culture war flashpoints — and we unpack the backlash, brand tactics, and how far is too far in marketing.🎥 Next, we dive into the Coldplay kiss cam chaos — Ex-Astronomer CEO Andy Byron ducked the cam, sparked affair rumors, got roasted online and is now allegedly suing Coldplay for “public humiliation.” Legal experts? Not buying it.🚨 Then it gets heavier:A Florida family arrested for caging and abusing their adoptive kids 😔GloRilla speaks out after a home invasion and drug arrest — then flips it into merchA Midtown NYC mass shooting tied to mental health, football injuries, and a tragic misfire🎡 And of course, we spin the wheel and end the episode with some wild, unfiltered questions.It’s a rollercoaster — tap in. 🎧🔗 Follow & Connect with Us:📸 Instagram: @OuttheBlue_Podcast | @Zha.bria | @MindMasterChris📘 Facebook: Out The Blue Podcast🎵 TikTok: @MindMasterMedia_ | @Zha.bria🎥 Watch Full Video Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSc1PvPfhgNGWQsiw5ZQd4XZhOBXl0ExW📺 YouTube Podcast Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSc1PvPfhgNGWQsiw5ZQd4XZhOBXl0ExW🎧 Listen to the Podcast:🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-is-blue/id1674375159

This week on Out The Blue, we dive into the violent and unjust police encounter involving William McNeil Jr., who was punched and assaulted by officers during a so-called routine stop. We unpack what this means for Black men, public safety, and the systemic patterns we keep seeing play out — no sugarcoating.

Then we shift the convo to something just as loud: social media and how it loves to hate on love. From twisting couples' stories into clickbait to projecting negativity onto healthy relationships, we break down how platforms are breeding ground for false narratives and toxic commentary.

We also get serious about domestic violence — and we make it plain: if you’re a man putting your hands on a woman, you’re not a man at all.

Finally, we spin the wheel and tap into some wild, off-script randomness to balance the heavy with the hilarious. For the thinkers, the feelers, and the folks who keep it real — this one’s for you.

We break down the unexpected Nicki Minaj vs. SZA beef — why did Nicki come for her music, looks, AND character? Then Shaq threatens to put hands on RGIII over his takes on Angel Reese.We also touch on the disturbing child abduction case in Milwaukee where a 7-year-old was kidnapped at gunpoint — and why the Amber Alert took HOURS to go out.Plus, Teddy Bridgewater gets hit with a suspension from his high school coaching gig. We’ll tell you why.And of course, we spin the wheel with a fresh set of wild questions to close the show.🔗 Follow & Connect with Us:📸 Instagram: @OuttheBlue_Podcast | @Zha.bria | @MindMasterChris📘 Facebook: Out The Blue Podcast🎵 TikTok: @MindMasterMedia_ | @Zha.bria🎥 Watch Full Video Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSc1PvPfhgNGWQsiw5ZQd4XZhOBXl0ExW📺 YouTube Podcast Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSc1PvPfhgNGWQsiw5ZQd4XZhOBXl0ExW🎧 Listen to the Podcast:🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-is-blue/id1674375159
