Big Loon kicks off the pod with a heartfelt thank you to his supporters (0:00) before sharing why he’s still too close to his own trauma to tell his full story (2:15).

He breaks down why Sharpe’s rushed video response might’ve nuked his NDA (24:10) and warns that Sharpe’s “playboy” image could boomerang into public persecution (31:30). Next, Kevin Gates gets called out for the $25 K courtside “crash‑out” aimed at LeBron’s wife (35:45), and Loon explains the unwritten rule about clout‑chasing through family. Tyrese’s court battle leads to a deeper convo about how the system milks men through child support (39:55), and Loon closes with a reminder: credibility is currency—perspective is product (42:25). 00:00 Intro & Thank Y’all 02:15 Too Close to My Trauma 04:40 “Life of Kings” Mindset & Fame 09:00 New Patreon Feature + Book Club 13:40 Salute: David Shands & Social Proof 17:05 Shannon Sharpe’s $10M Hush Rejected 19:00 Tony Buzbee’s Lawsuit History 24:10 NDA Nuke?

S1 Ep 289Rory Regrets Exposing Joe Budden | Calls VladTv a Culture Vulture, Says Twitch Owns Kai Cenat & More ( FULL EPISODE)

In this episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon sits down with Rory for a no-filter conversation that goes beyond podcast beef and dives into the truth behind the podcast industry, the cost of vulnerability, and why so many platforms are pushing entertainment over authenticity. Rory opens up about what really happened behind the scenes with Joe Budden, why he regrets even telling the truth publicly, and how lies often travel further than honesty in this new age of content. Loon presses him on his role in the business of podcasting, helping creators get deals, and why he rarely speaks up for himself—even when the smut gets thrown on his name. The conversation moves into deep waters: Is Joe Rogan still worth $300 million at Spotify, or is the podcast bubble about to burst? Why Rory stopped reading comments and how chasing fire emojis can kill your creativity How real podcasting has been hijacked by reaction culture and viral lies Why truth, trauma, and trust are the most dangerous parts of building a platform Loon and Rory also discuss Rumble vs. Twitch, the streaming war for creators like Kai Cenat, and why so many personalities online are just performing pain for profit. They also go deep on Andrew Tate, manipulation in media, and how people are using therapy buzzwords as branding tools instead of healing. If you’ve ever felt conflicted about building in public, protecting your peace, or calling out false narratives without feeding the clout machine—this episode is a blueprint. 🎯 Come for the talk about Spotify, Rogan, and Rory’s journey—stay for the game Loon drops on how to survive the noise without selling your soul. 🟡 Subscribe to the channel 🟣 Join the Patreon for uncut episodes: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast 🟠 Tap into the Discord: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB 🔵 Follow on Instagram & TikTok @ItsUpTherePodcast 🔴 Full podcast playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwwxLxHiDWYLCXvb81w69QAfr6cc1Y3N #ItsUpTherePodcast #Rory #JoeBudden #PodcastBeef #SpotifyPodcasts #Charlamagne #AndrewTate #KaiCenat #Loon #BlackEffect #HipHopPodcasts #RealConvos #ContentCreators Rory: Joe Budden Snake Moves, Vlad Can’t Be Trusted, Kai Cenat Pressured, Rory Regrets Exposing Joe Budden | Says Vlad Profits Off Black Trauma, Joe Rogan Untouchable, Twitch Owns Kai Cenat Rory Breaks Silence on Joe Budden Fallout + Says Industry Rewards Liars + Talks Vlad, Rogan, Kai Cenat, More Rory Regrets Exposing Joe Budden | Vlad TV Called Out, Joe Rogan’s Power, Twitch Owns Kai Cenat Rory Regrets Exposing Joe Budden | Says Vlad Profits Off Black Trauma, Joe Rogan Untouchable, Twitch Owns Kai Cenat 00:00 - Rory on Spotify’s Podcast Strategy & Why They Carve Out Joe Rogan 10:42 - Rory Says Liars Are Better Entertainers: “Truth Don’t Matter” 18:31 - Loon Breaks Down His Trust Issues Post Street-to-Podcast Transition 24:50 - Podcast Fans Acting Like They Know You: The Burden of Vulnerability 35:29 - Rory on Joe Budden: “I Thought I Was in Control.

S1 Ep 288Here’s Why Joe Budden Almost Fired Melissa Ford Over "Gimmie a Hug" By Drake | Its Up There Podcast

This Is Why Joe Budden Almost Fired Melissa Ford After That Drake Line This episode, Loon delivers a piercing breakdown of one of the most hypocritical moves in podcasting history. When Drake shouted out Melissa Ford on "Give Me a Hug" — while taking a jab at Joe Budden — the Joe Budden Podcast team secretly bought the domain on Drake’s merch and rerouted it to Joe's Patreon. Not Melissa’s. Not a collab. Straight exploitation. In this episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon breaks down one of the wildest betrayals in podcast history — and it’s got Joe Budden written all over it. When Drake dropped "Give Me a Hug" and gave Melissa Ford a shoutout while simultaneously throwing shade at Joe, fans expected Mel to shine off the moment. But what happened instead? Joe Budden’s team snatched the domain name tied to Drake’s merch drop and rerouted it to his Patreon, cutting Mel out entirely. Loon pulls the mask off the manipulation and asks the hard questions: 🧠 Why would a self-proclaimed creator advocate hijack a moment meant for his co-host? 💼 Is this business innovation or just ego-driven overreach? 🏛️ How does this mirror the corporate behavior Joe Budden used to protest at Complex & Spotify? 🧩 Why do Black women keep getting shut out of platforms they help build? This episode dives deeper than gossip — it’s a cultural x-ray of gatekeeping, branding betrayal, and hypocrisy in the new media landscape. 🔍 SEO-Friendly Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: Why It’s Up There Podcast Is Leading the Culture 01:45 – What Every Creator Needs to Hear Right Now 03:22 – LaRussell’s Shift on Labels & Creator Control 06:01 – The Rise of Joe Budden: From Rapper to Podcaster 09:50 – Drake Mentions Melissa Ford on “Give Me a Hug” 13:30 – Joe Budden Team Grabs the Viral URL Behind Her Back 17:40 – Why This Was Exploitation, Not a Strategic Collab 20:10 – Legal Grey Areas: Could This Lead to a Lawsuit? 24:30 – The Ironic Fall: Joe Becomes the System He Fought 28:45 – PR Spin & Joe’s Internal Pushback 32:12 – Melissa Ford’s Role: Strategy or Stand? 36:10 – How the Creator vs Culture Debate Is Changing 38:55 – Bonus: Brick Baby vs Loose Cannon Situation 42:25 – No Jumper’s Gang War Allegory & Street Exploitation 47:50 – Adam22’s Role & Why He Didn’t Intervene 53:00 – Final Word: What Accountability in New Media Really Looks Like 55:42 – Closing Remarks: Don’t Just Build For You.

S1 Ep 287Lead Juror on Young Thug Trial: “We Were 3 Votes Away From Life”

Young Thug On The Heels Of New Album " Uy Scuti" And we have an powerful and revealing episode of *It’s Up There Podcast*, Loon sits down with Juror 56 — the lead juror from the Young Thug YSL RICO trial — for a rare and uncensored conversation. This isn't just commentary. This is the man who ran the jury room, speaking publicly for the first time about how dangerously close the trial came to putting Young Thug behind bars for life. Juror 56 recounts the intense emotional pressure inside the courtroom and explains how jurors clashed behind closed doors — particularly over the use of rap lyrics as evidence. According to him, the jury was just three votes away from a life sentence, and it was his leadership that prevented a conviction based on music and speculation. He reveals what it was like being shuttled into court under security lockdown, the political power plays happening between DA Love and defense attorney Brian Steele, and why he believes the State mishandled the case from day one. He also dives into how the court's decision to allow Young Thug’s lyrics into evidence nearly changed the outcome — and exposes how media narratives and courtroom theatrics almost overshadowed the facts. He opens up about the juror selection process, the internal conflicts between jurors, and the real reason the jury almost split down the middle. This episode is raw, intelligent, and culturally important. It's not just about Young Thug — it's about how close the system came to making him an example, and what it took to stop that from happening. Whether you’re tapped into hip hop, politics, or the justice system, this is one of the most revealing conversations ever recorded about the YSL trial. 00:00 – Lead Juror Speaks for the First Time 02:10 – How He Got Selected for the YSL Trial 06:50 – “I Didn’t Know Who Young Thug Was at First” 13:15 – Rap Lyrics in Court: What Jurors Really Thought 18:40 – DA Love vs. Brian Steele: The Courtroom Clashes 25:05 – “We Were Arguing Over Lyrics for Days” 31:00 – Inside the Jury Room: Voting Breakdown 36:30 – Why the Jury Almost Split 43:10 – Was Thug Set Up to Lose from Day One? 50:45 – Why He Says Simone Should’ve Led the Case 57:00 – Final Verdict: What Made the Decision Clear --- 🎯 FOLLOW & SUPPORT: 🔗 Patreon (Early Drops, Bonus Audio): https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast 💬 Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB 📺 Full Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwwxLxHiDWYLCXvb81w69QAfr6cc1Y3N --- #YoungThug #YSLTrial #Juror56 #ItsUpTherePodcast #YSLRICO #FreeYoungThug #BrianSteele #DALove #CourtroomDrama #RapLyricsInCourt #HipHopNews #ThuggerTrial #JuryRoomBreakdown #SayCheeseTV #Loon #CultureAndCourt Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOOSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 286Brick Baby DENIED Bond… and Here’s Why Adam22 Said “Nah, I’m Good” After Making Millions Off Him, Big U, & Luce Cannon!

🎙️ In this explosive episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Loon delivers a raw and unfiltered breakdown of how Brick Baby’s loyalty to No Jumper got him caught in a federal indictment — and how Adam22 turned his back after years of profiting off his name. When Brick Baby tried to make bond, the feds used No Jumper podcast clips as evidence to argue he was a danger to society. They cited videos of him with firearms, verbal threats on air, and gang talk — all captured on Adam22’s platform. But it gets worse… 🧊 Adam22 — who built content, traffic, and revenue off Brick Baby’s name for years — publicly stated he doesn’t pick up jail calls and refused to pay for Brick Baby’s legal help, even as his platform is mentioned in federal court. This episode dives into the cold business of content, the emotional warfare of podcast culture, and how the algorithm rewards self-destruction. Loon holds nothing back as he explains how the platforms are turning street dudes into digital crash dummies — then walking away when the feds come knocking. 🧠 Key Themes Explored: 🎯 The cost of clout: When street credibility becomes digital currency, who profits? 🔥 "It’s not personal, it’s profitable": The industry’s silent motto when your life becomes content. ⚖️ The algorithm is the new trap: Feds are watching podcasts, and some platforms are baiting indictments. 🎮 Crash-out culture: How men are emotionally manipulated into turning content into confessions. 💡 Ownership of behavior: If you can't control your cravings, you're not ready for real responsibility. ⏱ Full Timestamps Breakdown (Story Arc Format) 00:00 – Welcome back: Loon reflects on podcast collapse & the "content drought" 04:10 – Adam22’s “I’m broke” play: Why Loon calls it calculated marketing 07:45 – Why Loon never sat on No Jumper: Strategy over visibility 10:00 – “Learning is the treasure the thief can’t take”: Game on mental wealth 13:30 – Emotional manipulation & black creators burning out for clicks 17:15 – The danger of being reactionary: “You’re a slave to your cravings” 22:00 – The black gossip economy: Why it profits from pain 26:40 – Brick Baby’s bond hearing: Feds used podcast clips to lock him in 30:55 – Adam22’s refusal to pay for his lawyer — despite being in the indictment 35:20 – Why Brick Baby crashed out on content: Ego, clout, and misdirection 38:00 – “They watching podcasts now”: The new surveillance trap 41:10 – How No Jumper built a platform on black trauma 44:00 – Loon on how to avoid the crash: Recover speed, self-governance 47:35 – Why authenticity can’t be bought — and why stoicism matters 50:22 – Adam22 vs. Akademiks: The cold war over street content 53:00 – Loon: “I monetize game, not meltdowns” 55:40 – Cultural accountability: Why the audience must stop rewarding dysfunction 58:00 – Final message: If you don’t climb the mountain, you don’t get the view Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOO 🔗 Links for Support, Early Access, and Community 👥 Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB 🎧 Subscribe on Patreon for early episodes: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast 📺 Full episode playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwwxLxHiDWYLCXvb81w69QAfr6cc1Y3N 📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsuptherepodcast 🎙️ Listen on iHeart, Spotify & Apple Podcasts — search: It’s Up There Podcast Brick Baby got DENIED bond after the feds used clips from @NoJumper — and @adam22 said he ain’t helping with no lawyer 😳 This man was on your platform for years... made you MILLIONS… now you won’t even answer his jail call?

Adam22 Pressed on Using Black Culture, Clout Chasing Criminals & No Jumper Falling Apart Adam22 Confronted for Clout Chasing Off Street Culture, Fearing Akademiks, and Losing Control of No Jumper as Staff Turn On Him Adam22 Of No Jumper pulls up to It’s Up There Podcast and gets pressed on everything the internet's been scared to say to his face. From accusations of using Black culture for profit to clout chasing criminal cases, Loon asks the questions that made other platforms nervous. In this explosive sit-down, Adam22 addresses the growing belief that he built No Jumper off Black trauma, only to let the platform crumble once the pressure hit. He responds to claims that he clout-chased off gang beefs, exploited street dudes for views, and played both sides when Akademiks started applying pressure. Loon confronts Adam directly on why he still won’t check Akademiks, and what it says about loyalty, fear, and power in hip-hop media. As No Jumper loses staff and credibility, Adam opens up about the business falling apart behind the scenes — and whether his own ego, decisions, and detachment from the culture played a role in its decline. 🔑 Key Topics in the Interview 00:00 – Adam22 on building No Jumper off the culture 06:40 – Why he clout-chased street rappers & criminal headlines 12:55 – Loon questions if he used Black trauma to go viral 18:30 – Joe Budden confrontation & why it exposed real tension 25:45 – Adam on Akademiks: fear, fake peace, and public perception 33:10 – Staff leaving No Jumper & internal issues getting out of hand 40:00 – Loon on what makes content dangerous vs. impactful 45:20 – Adam22 talks about keeping control while everything fell apart 52:10 – The difference between respecting the culture vs. using it 59:00 – Loon breaks down why ownership without accountability is hollow 1:05:00 – Adam on the future of No Jumper & where he stands with the culture 🎯 This episode covers: Black culture & exploitation in hip-hop media Adam22’s public fallout with Akademiks No Jumper’s internal collapse and staff exits Clout chasing vs. storytelling in street interviews Joe Budden, Vlad, and the media war over who owns the narrative 📌 SUPPORT + FOLLOW: 🔒 Patreon for early access: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast 💬 Join the convo on Discord: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB 📺 YouTube playlist of all episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwwxLxHiDWYLCXvb81w69QAfr6cc1Y3N 📱 Follow us on IG: https://instagram.com/ItsUpTherePodcast 🎯 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@itsuptherepodcast 🎥 Snapchat: https://story.snapchat.com/@itsuptherepodcast 🔗 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itsuptherepodcast #Adam22 #NoJumper #Akademiks #CloutChasing #briccbaby #nojumperclips #wack100See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S1 Ep 279K Camp Says ‘Renegade’ Dance Was STOLEN for Fortnite! , 21 Savage , Young Dolph , Da Baby & Ye

Loon & K Camp kick off the latest It’s Up There Podcast by debating whether an artist should roll with personal security or move solo (0:00). The conversation then shifts to a controversial moment in Atlanta when K Camp gave out plaques to only a few local DJs—leading to major backlash and prompting him to leave the city (9:13). They revisit K Camp’s decision to drop $15k/month on luxury L.A. cribs while new acts like 21 Savage exploded back home (21:45). Later, K Camp reveals how he went years without label checks due to messy contracts (35:12) and opens up about surviving off club shows and mixtapes. The two then break down the viral success of “Lottery” (47:58), detailing the TikTok dance controversy sparked by a white influencer overshadowing a Black creator. K Camp also explains how that same record led to a Fortnite placement and forced his label’s hand to support him again (57:31). The episode winds down with K Camp celebrating full independence, emphasizing the importance of brand consistency, and teasing what’s next now that he’s free from label politics (1:05:42). Before the Renegade dance took over TikTok, it started with 14-year-old Jalaiah Harmon—the original creator who never got credit when the trend blew up. Influencers like Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae made the dance famous, but Jalaiah was left in the shadows until the truth came out. The viral moment sparked major debates about crediting Black creators, leading to changes on social media. Now, K Camp, the artist behind Lottery (Renegade), speaks on what really happened, how his song became a global sensation, and the impact of the controversy. 📍 Join the conversation & drop your thoughts in the comments!

S1 Ep 268Feat Charleston White Part 2

Charleston White returns with a deeper dive into the themes he touched on in his Say Cheese TV and Cam Newton interviews, delivering an unfiltered narrative about growing up in an era of systemic neglect, gang culture, and juvenile crime. Pimpin Ken: ‘Charleston White Got New Money, I’ve Been Up! $100M Game Never Dies’ Building on his explosive commentary from previous interviews, Charleston reveals how cultural influences, personal trauma, and flawed systems gave rise to America's 'Super Predator' generation. From recounting his own capital M*****r case at age 14 to exploring the societal forces that shaped him, this episode sheds light on the stories behind the headlines. Charleston also reflects on his transformation through Texas’s experimental rehabilitation program, how the criminal justice system molded his perspective, and why he's committed to speaking out today. This candid discussion touches on gang culture, hip-hop’s role in shaping young minds, and the policy decisions that fueled mass incarceration. If you’ve followed Charleston’s Say Cheese TV interviews, this conversation brings new layers of insight and introspection that you won’t want to miss."

S1 Ep 263Drake Sues Kendrick Lamar Over Diss Track Loon Calls Out Jay-Z, Big 3 Debate, & Drake’s Business Moves

Building on recent developments, Loon dissects Drake’s high-stakes lawsuits against UMG and the complex “zero sum” nature of industry business. Loon connects these legal battles to Kendrick Lamar’s maneuvers—exploring how Kendrick might have leveraged Future, the Southern hip-hop scene, and the cultural shifts sparked by the South to strengthen his position while challenging Drake’s dominance. From the behind-the-scenes contracts and shifting industry alliances to Joe Budden’s perspective on Drake’s potential exit from the game, Loon uncovers the layers of strategy, negotiation, and influence at play. He examines Drake’s confidence, his tour commitments, and the legendary Cash Money legacy that shaped his career. He also revisits Kendrick’s Super Bowl halftime show announcement and the intriguing silence on collaborations, as well as Lil Wayne’s expectations and how the South’s pivotal role reshaped these hip-hop battles.

S1 Ep 255Pimpin Ken EXPOSES Andrew Tate, OnlyFans, Sharing Women with Tricks, Charleston White Beef & More

TOPICS: Andrew Tate , Pimpin Ken ,Charleston White, Only Fans Vs The Game , Girlfriend Pimpin , In this explosive episode of It’s Up There Podcast, Pimpin’ Ken and Goldie face off on the evolution of modern pimp culture, from the streets to the digital age. The heated discussion begins with Pimpin’ Ken claiming credit for the masterclass model, asserting, “It’s all pimpin’” (00:02:02). As the conversation unfolds, Ken and Goldie spar over OnlyFans, debating its impact on traditional pimping and whether it’s changing the game or just another hustle (00:20:19). Loon steps into the debate, confronting Ken on “girlfriend pimpin” and asking the hard questions: “So you share her with the tricks?” This leads to candid reflections on loyalty, relationships, and the blurred lines between love and business (00:26:10). Pimpin’ Ken opens up about his personal life, including how his son navigates knowing his mother is part of the game (00:22:42). The conversation intensifies when Goldie and Pimpin’ Ken tackle the harsh realities of the lifestyle, noting how many pimps they know ended up in prison rather than wealthy. “Most pimps now are gang members,” Goldie notes, contrasting it with the no-contact rules of old-school pimping (00:49:06). They also discuss the societal backlash against the lifestyle, tracing how anti-pimping laws evolved into human trafficking legislation, shaped by political agendas (00:50:38). The debate takes a global turn as they bring Andrew Tate into the conversation. Ken and Goldie weigh in on Tate’s influence and whether his controversial take on relationships aligns with traditional pimp values (00:56:18). They also examine the psychological dynamics at play: “How do pimps really feel about the women who give them all their money?” (01:02:18). From heated arguments on love and loyalty to discussions about the economic realities of pimping, this episode is a raw, unfiltered look into a world most people only hear about in whispers. “The cookie has no value,” Ken argues, but Loon fires back: “Your life depends on it as a pimp.” Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOO Introduction & Warm-Up 00:00:00 - Let’s Set the Stage: Ken, Goldie, and Loon break the ice 00:01:00 - Quick Bag Alert: Prize Picks shoutout sets the tone 00:01:55 - Straight to the Culture: Diving right into the game 00:02:34 - “It’s All Pimpin’”: Ken claims the masterclass crown 00:03:51 - Built for This Life: Who’s really about it? 00:04:30 - Respect the Hustle: Elevating the grind 00:05:10 - What’s Real Game?: Ken, Goldie, and Loon weigh in 00:07:20 - No Cap Hustle: The role of transparency in the game 00:08:21 - Blueprints Matter: Why having a game plan is crucial 00:09:34 - Game Recap: Unfiltered wisdom from the masters 00:20:19 - OnlyFans Clash: Ken, Goldie, and Loon debate the bag 00:22:42 - Girlfriend Pimpin’ Exposed: Loon brings the tough questions 00:26:10 - Love or Hustle?: Can you balance both worlds? 00:49:06 - Riches to Ruin: The harsh reality of the game 00:50:38 - Congress Enters the Chat: Laws and power moves against the culture 00:54:00 - Street to Screens: How Andrew Tate fits into the narrative 00:56:18 - Pimpin’ Politics: Breaking down societal shifts 01:02:18 - Stacking Paper: How hustlers really view earners 01:05:30 - Value Exchange: What’s given and what’s expected 01:09:20 - Legacy or Bust: Building something that lasts 01:12:00 - Responding to Charleston WhiteSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
