Hyphen Nation

Palomas and Hyphen in Playa del Carmen.

I literally rolled out of bed and came straight to the microphone. So, good morning sleepyheads. I talk about Matt's dad passing, The Foreign Exchange's Leave It All Behind, the second return of CM Punk, and my thoughts on Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3.

The comic strip. A way to let go of your worries and have a chuckle. Well, I go into depth on some of my favorite comic strips including Peanuts, Pearls Before Swine, and my most recent find, Poorly Drawn Lines! Then, I tell the story of how I met Huey Mack and discuss his latest album The Cozy Bar. Finally, I give James Marsden and Keegan-Michael Key their flowers for just showing up in stuff I l...

On this episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I wanted to talk about things I was enjoying for the second time. We lead off with Mac Miller and his 2016 album The Divine Feminine after some Ja Morant jokes. Then we really reevaluate what I took away from my rewatch of The Good Place. And then I make another Ja Morant joke.

For those times when you swear you don't need to make a list.

So you thought a conversation between myself and Marc Rob would just end because Rasslecast was over? Marcus wanted to do a quick segment on whether Michael B. Jordan was a good actor and from there we talked about our hopes for Creed III, Jonathan Majors, and what's gone wrong with the MCU since we last talked about it (2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home)!

I got fed up. Recent events were weighing on me and I had to speak my truth. Back to the positive vibes for 209. https://www.patreon.com/bhyphen https://bit.ly/hy-extralife2023

In the first live episode since 2020 , I decide to revisit talking about my favorite basketball players ever. I finally admit that I became a fan of Kobe Bryant prior to his untimely passing. Then, I talk about Marvel's constant need to make Spider-Man miserable, along with Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1: World Without Love. I finish things off with a revisit of Ne-Yo's second album, Because Of...

Continuing the story from episodes 12 ., 40 ., and 117 ., we catch up with Alias Investigations to see how Jessica Jones and Deadpool are coping as partners and why are they in Canada again? Afterwards, we snap back to reality for a review of Batman Vol. 1: The Court of Owls!

Good news everyone! I found out that Uncoupled was un-canceled on air, I started watching BMF and made some music recommendations, I went to see Puss In Boots: The Last Wish with Kat's cosign, and I talked about another favorite album of mine, Wyclef Jean Presents The Carnival! Hip-Hop Manifesto

Crony. Confidant. Best mate. Bro. Main man. Amigo. Chum. Pal. Compadre. Compatriot. Comrade. Homeboy. Associate. Partner. Bruv. Boon Companion. Matt's finally on the pod. Rejoice!

In the first episode of the new year, I spend some time detailing my plans for Hyphen Nation, review some newish music from Noveliss, Nas, and Drake & 21 Savage, go into a deep dive about Talib Kweli's debut solo album Quality from 2002, and bring it all home with a ringing endorsement of the phenomenal cinematic achievement that is Everything Everywhere All At Once! Sorry I'm late, it...

"God, can you feel me? Take me away from all the pressure and all the pain Show me some happiness again"

Today, I talk about the long and winding road to episode 200, answer Errick and Kat’s questions that I missed on 199, preview some future episode topics, talk about how a friend’s review of recent MCU movies being right out of the back issue bins is perfect, say “for the 200th time” a lot, and rank the Stranger Things seasons!

On this edition of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD’S GREATEST PODCAST, we return to the questions! I solicited questions from my friends and family and I set about answering them… except for Handsome Bane’s because I’m a jerk. Also, I take some NSFW swipes at the gun control problem in the country before we get into the proceedings.

In this edition of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I start things off with a little housecleaning as I review and recommend some of my recent watches and listens. Then, it's all about Kendrick Lamar, his new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, and where he now ranks in my 20 greatest MCs of all-time list.

You see the title. In honor of the NBA Playoffs getting underway, I start a segment where I take a look at the career of one of my favorite NBA players, starting with Grant Hill. After being appalled the Pistons didn't retire his number yet, I review the new Girl Talk/Smoke DZA/Big KRIT/Wiz Khalifa album Full Court Press and then explain why it reminded me of my favorite Wiz project Kush &...

Part of growing up is knowing when you were wrong. Because of that, I have to walk back some comments I made on Hyphen Nation 102 about Taylor Swift. I touch on her situation with her masters, Fearless (Taylor's Version), her songwriting prowess, and yes, for the last time, the Kanye of it all. Then I give flowers to Frank Ocean's nostalgia, ULTRA. and 9th Wonder & Murs' Murray&#39...

I tried to make this rhyme but not everything is meant to be. On this episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, Aaron Rodgers finally gets what he wants, Russell Wilson is a Bronco and Khalil Mack is a Charger, I completely failed to mention the Slaughterhouse drama and the end of the MLB lockout... and I give my spoiler free opinion on The Batman!

In this episode of THE BARACK OBAMA APPROVED WORLD'S GREATEST PODCAST, I catch up on a few things I missed, discuss Russia and Texas, go over the difference in Bieber's Changes and Justice albums, tell you to watch Bel-Air, put y'all up on Toni Stone , and finish the show by talking about the classic album Like Water For Chocolate.

I couldn't start this episode without detailing the end of the Raiders season and also going over the losing streak the Bulls were on (we did get that W against Cleveland). But then, it's been 30 days since the release of SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME. You've been warned. I don't break down the whole film but I talk about Peter's conflict with one of the returning villains (three gue...

Hyphen Nation is officially 6 and just won't die! Within, I cover all the recommendations I kept forgetting, talk briefly about the I Can't Feel My Face project that never materialized from Juelz and Wayne, move on to how I've turned the corner on The Weeknd thanks to Dawn FM, have what was supposed to not be a State of the Podcast Address, and talk about the next step in my hair growt...

Switching gears entirely, George and Marcus continue to put up with my shenanigans as I crack open some wine for our 2021 sports recap. I encourage you to do the same (or coffee or water if you don't drink wine in the mornings) as we toss around our picks for athlete of the year, biggest surprise, disappointing teams and more. And get ready for some of my (worst) hottest takes yet as I ignore...

The time has arrived for the annual Numbers On The Board episode! Started in 2017 as a yearly wrap up by Marcus, George was added to the mix last year, and now we're rolling in the deep like Adele when she was 21! *Crickets* Anyway, we talk some of our favorite music, movies, and about the elephant that's been on everyone's chest for the last 2 years, that damn Coronavirus. Plus, Marc...

Merry Christmas! I return to the parking lot where it all started almost 6 years ago on Christmas Eve. As the grocery store closes for the night, I call up Michael Lamerique, talk a little about Nas' new album Magic and his growth since linking up with Hit-Boy, discuss my love of the Back To The Future trilogy, and wrap up by announcing the 2021 winner of my Best In The World award!
