Episode 31: End of The Weeknd, 10k Dollar iPhones, New Music+

In this episode, we break down the latest on the TikTok ban—Apple says TikTok won’t be back on the App Store unless a U.S. company buys it, leading to iPhones with TikTok installed selling for over $10K on eBay. But here’s the catch: your personal info will still be in there, and you can’t reset the phone without losing TikTok. MUSIC TALK • The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow—is this the final piece of his trilogy? His last album ever? Or just the last under The Weeknd name? We discuss the sound, the vibes, and whether it’s all ’80s or something more. • Kendrick Lamar announces SZA will join him for the Apple Music Halftime Show. They’re already touring together—so is this just a warm-up? Plus, predictions for Not Like Us—big marching band energy? • NoCap drops the deluxe Before I Disappear Again—solid project. Is he still one of the most underrated? • GloRilla’s SNL performance—she’s not a dancer (yet), but she’s putting in the work. Give it five years, and she’ll be a problem. • Bruno Mars & Sexyy Red link up for a wild, fun, and vulgar track. It’s not serious, but it’s a vibe. MOVIES • Jonathan Majors’ Magazine Dreams drops March 21st. If we want his stock to rise again, we need to show up at the theaters.
