Ep 137 It Was A.I.
from Black and Snerdy Podcast Hosted by Ode and Mo "Kid" Licorish
Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) open with a hot‑pot recap and then lower the tone for a round of tributes: they mark the passings of Roberta Flack and Angie Stone and describe Gene Hackman’s unexpected death and the strange circumstances around his and his wife’s passing. The hosts reflect on each artist’s body of work—Flack’s classics and Stone’s R&B catalog—and on the shock that accompanies sudden losses, folding personal memory into the news items they name. They pair that with everyday check‑ins about rest, therapy, and the household rhythms that keep them going. The episode moves into explosive headlines and viral moments: they debrief WWE’s Elimination Chamber (Bianca Belair’s push, Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena direction and Cena’s heel turn) and the strange spectacle of an AI deepfake of Trump and Elon Musk appearing at a HUD site. They also discuss fresh litigation and settlement news—Sarah Rivers’ suit against Combs and Drake’s settlement with iHeart—and an urgent Department of Education letter reshaping how race‑based policies are being policed on campuses, noting the organizing responses brewing among students and educators.
