The Joey Licea Podcast

This week I hosted a solo podcast discussing the tragic death of musician Oliver Tree, who died in a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on June 14th, 2026, along with four members of his team. My family and I were fans of Oliver Tree's music, I particularly recommend his album "Ugly is Beautiful," and I will note that he had frequently mentioned death in his music. I also discussed the World Cup taking place in the United States, finding it wholesome to see international visitors experiencing American food and culture, including the popularity of condiments like ranch dressing among foreign visitors.

This week I conducted a podcast interview with Shemita Chaney, known by her stage name "Sweet Meat," to discuss her life journey from growing up in Compton, California to living in Bakersfield, and her career in comedy. Shemita shared her challenging experiences growing up in Compton during the 1980s, including witnessing police brutality and violence, which led to her family moving to Bakersfield when she was 19 years old to escape the drug and gang problems. She discussed her 26-year marriage and four children, her career at Sam's Club (where I met her) and her transition to working as a bus driver for Golden Empire Transit before eventually leaving due to an assault incident. Shemita also detailed her comedy career, which began in 2018, including performing at the Fox Theater and her experiences performing at various venues and events, while emphasizing how her experiences both professionally and personally provide rich material for her stand-up comedy.

In this one I hosted a podcast episode featuring my longtime friend Erik Castillo, discussing Drake's recent release of three albums. I noted that Drake has been active in hip-hop for 17 years since his breakout in 2009, and the episode focused on Erik’s enthusiasm as a dedicated Drake fan. The conversation covered the new albums and favorite songs, with us acknowledging both Drake's longevity in the industry and the criticism he sometimes receives for being "corny." We encourage listeners to check out our previous episode about attending a Drake concert together in 2023 and to listen to this new episode about the new Drake albums.
