The Outcast Podcast Ep 164 - Nice Riot

🥊 The Outcast Podcast: NCAA Paydays, FPV Flybys, & The LA ICE Meltdown Episode Title: “Drones, Dollars, and a Downpour of Drama” Welcome back to another wild ride on The Outcast Podcast—where a brown guy, a black guy, and a white guy walk into a podcast and say the things you're thinking, but don't say. This week’s episode is as fiery as ever, packed with protest calls, personal confessions, viral chaos, and a few moments that’ll make you laugh, cringe, and maybe reflect a little. 💸 The NCAA & The Pay-to-Play Era Is Here The fellas weigh in on how college athletes are finally cashing in on their skills, but not without controversy. Tomkat dives into the shifting power dynamic between universities and young stars, while Ramo throws out a bold take that has Memphis questioning the balance between sports and academics. Is this the end of amateurism—or just the beginning of chaos? 🧠 Memphis Gets Real About Mental Health In a powerful and vulnerable moment, Memphis opens up about his struggle with depression. He shares his experiences, the pressure of being “the strong one,” and why more men—especially black men—need to speak out. It’s raw, real, and necessary. 🚁 Tomkat Buys a Drone (and Instantly Becomes a Nerd) Tomkat took the plunge and got himself an FPV drone. Now he’s ready for drone racing—but is the world ready for him? We talk aerial stunts, the gear arms race, and how fast tech can go from hobby to obsession. Spoiler: Memphis wants to race him. 😬 Ramo’s Joke Might Be… Played Out? Listeners are calling in and commenting—again—on Ramo’s go-to “wrong brown guy” joke. Has the bit gone stale? The crew debates comedy boundaries, when a running gag needs to be retired, and the thin line between self-deprecation and repetition. 🥶 ICE Protests in LA – With Guest Derron Harris In the heart of LA, protests against ICE detention centers sparked major headlines. Our special guest Derron Harris phones in live via video call from the scene to break down the tension, the demands, and the clash between protestors and law enforcement. This is one you won’t want to miss. 🎶 In Memoriam: Brian Wilson & Sly Stone The music world took a hit this week with the passing of two legendary icons: Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and funk pioneer Sly Stone. The guys reflect on their legacy, influence, and which vinyl records deserve a re-spin in their honor. 📉 Tomkat’s Not-So-Great News It’s been a tough week for Tomkat, and he opens up about some personal and professional letdowns. The gang rallies around him, offering support, sarcasm, and unsolicited advice. 🎥 Viral Videos of the Week From kids on fire (not literally), to animal attacks, to another politician dancing on TikTok—it’s time for everyone’s favorite segment. The internet never sleeps, and neither do the outcasts when it comes to roasting viral gold.
