SHOOTING THE SHiT

Somewhere between the therapy session and the reality show, the truth got buried — and Britt just dug it up. A licensed mental health professional walks into a podcast and tells you exactly why the city of Chicago was architecturally designed to keep certain people sick, scared, and separated. She’s raising a child in a world she professionally documents falling apart, dating in an era she refuses to romanticize, and quietly building a case for a Lavender Marriage that challenges everything society says love is supposed to look like. Her perspective on women in podcasting will land differently depending on who you are — and that’s exactly the point.

On this SHOOTING THE SHiT PODCAST “THE SCAT PACK” featuring @BURBANBOYREED and BIG BO go fully off the rails as they react to the viral “100 studs” conversation, question how far people would go for survival, status, and a green card, and break down a wild neighbor Ring camera crash-out. From there, the episode spirals into the hidden fetish economy, ANT’s explosive rant on organized religion, and a brutal debate about whether clout has destroyed basic human decency.

ANT finally sits down with Zach — a.k.a. @Pusha__Z from the Burban Boys Network — and the first question is the only one that matters: why do they call you “THE NEWS”? What starts as a deep dive into Z’s unfiltered podding style spirals into a horror movie debate that proves everybody’s got a hot take until the lights go out. The fellas rank their favorite slasher films, argue whether Hollywood knows when to let a trilogy die in peace, and somehow land on the one question nobody asks at Thanksgiving — what would actually make you abandon your family? Then there’s McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski calling his own burger a “product” and taking the tiniest bite in corporate history, and if that doesn’t tell you everything about late-stage capitalism, this episode will. Unhinged, unnervingly honest, and uncomfortably funny — this one’s going to leave a mark.

“THE CRASH OUT BROS” is the episode where @burbanboyreed, @bluhillave, and Anonymous Man finally admit they’re not healing—they’re just highly functional train wrecks with microphones. Marriage trials blur into late-night Google searches about HPV, weaponized pettiness, and the quiet resentment you only confess when you assume the group chat won’t leak. They push Black men making space for Black women past the usual hashtag talk, asking what happens when that space is still moderated by algorithms that reward rage-bait and trolling over actual accountability. Cam Newton’s “women’s value drops with kids” commentary becomes the villain of the episode, a symbol of how misogyny keeps getting rebranded as “just my opinion, bro” for clicks and podcast bookings. Brain tumors, Black History versus Black Heritage, and generational burnout collide in a spiral of jokes so bleak you’re not sure if you should laugh, cry, or open a therapy tab next to your podcast app. By the end, you’re left wondering: are we listening to a comedy podcast, a slow-motion breakdown, or a live case study in how the internet turns real pain into premium content—and why you can’t wait for the next episode anyway.

ANT and @FrankieDiamonds_ reunite on SHOOTING THE SHiT for the first time in two years to autopsy the ego of the Negro in an America now deep into the second Trump administration, where Black pain is just another content category and everybody’s “brand” is on life support. Frankie went from Episode 4 OG to missing-in-action, so ANT drags him back to confess why he dipped from the content grind while every washed rapper suddenly discovered live streaming, superchats, and fake authenticity. They spiral into whether you’d snitch your undocumented partner to ICE for a reward and what it means that grassroots movements like Paul Birdsong’s crew had to abandon the Black Panther Party name for the Black Lion Party just to dodge historical beef and legal smoke. From there, they pick apart the suspiciously theatrical Corey Holcomb vs Anton Daniels beef that has half of Black YouTube wondering if we’re watching a real meltdown or just another engineered spectacle for t-shirts and clips. ANT and Frankie cook up twisted tangents on Dr. Umar Johnson’s conspiracy‑laced sermons, Charlie Kirk’s culture‑war cosplay, and Stephen A. Smith’s never‑ending controversy pipeline to show how outrage has become America’s favorite subscription service. This episode is a brutally funny reminder that if you’re not laughing at how rigged the game is, you’re probably the content, not the audience

REPETITION IS YOUR FRIEND is what happens when two over-caffeinated degenerates decide to podcast through the storm of the century instead of going to therapy like functioning adults. Fresh off another chaotic test run for their new show The Super Crash Bros, ANT tries to convince REED that modern athletes are just highly compensated plantation talent, citing the long history of “high-paid slaves” discourse and how ownership, branding, and bodily sacrifice still stack the deck for the people cutting the checks. From there, they spiral into whether celebrities, athletes, and entertainers should ever be labeled “role models,” or if we’re all just outsourcing our morals to whoever trends highest on ESPN and TikTok that week. Then the storm outside starts to feel light compared to Minnesota, as the fellas dissect the latest DHS shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and the earlier killing of Renee Nicole Good, breaking down how immigration crackdowns, National Guard deployments, and streets full of tear gas are quietly becoming the new normal in Trump’s America. By the time Reed tells ANT that people shouldn’t live in their trauma and should just buy a firearm instead, the episode has turned into a darkly comic survival guide for a country where “coping” means laughing at the news while doomscrolling protests and bodycam angles. Hit play if you want a manic, self-deprecating, borderline unhinged podcast that treats trauma, politics, celebrity worship, and gun culture like one big inside joke the algorithms were never supposed to hear.

On this bubbly but borderline catastrophic episode of SHOOTING THE SH!T, ANT and @tracyreneejones kick off Tracy’s birthday with champagne and immediately pivot to dissecting the Minnesota ICE shooting that left Renee Good dead and sparked national outrage, resignations from DOJ attorneys, and protests demanding accountability.  Before the corks even settle, they roast the absurdity of Teyana Taylor snagging a Golden Globe for a film most of the Internet agreed was trash, and unravel the weird energy that currently defines Holly Wood’s brand of fame. Adult film star Janise Heart tries to drop hard-earned wisdom about navigating a toxic over-sexualized dating world, but the message gets lost somewhere between punchlines and popcorn. This episode is equal parts trauma and comedy, delivered with self-aware humor so dark it might need its own seatbelt. It’s thoughtful, chaotic, and somehow classy in the way only two professional shit-talkers can manage. Laugh, cringe, and maybe learn something you didn’t expect — because some trauma is funny and some humor is traumatic.

In this riotous SHOOTING THE SHIT episode, ANT and @_reedreviews kick off with hilarious banter as they tease their new show SUPER CRASH BROS and question whether sanity was ever part of adulthood. From the Minnesota ICE shooting that’s ignited national controversy and protests to the most mundane dating horrors, nothing is off limits—because if the world isn’t absurd enough, we’ll make it more absurd together.  The conversation flips between laughter and raw truth as the guys disassemble the idea of “marriage as destiny” and reframe it as a deliberate choice in a chaotic world. They dig into what it really means to find your tribe when society feels disconnected, and why people are feeding off madness in 2026. Their chemistry is electric, unpredictable, and sometimes unsettling in the most entertaining way. Whether you’re here for the chaos or the insight, this episode hits every trigger your brain didn’t know it needed. Don’t sleep on this one—it’s the kind of content that makes you question what you believed was normal.

This episode kicks off with ANT and Trilly Trills tapping into the kind of mental-health honesty that most podcasts avoid, even as conversations around artists’ emotional burnout dominate Vice, Complex, and cultural commentary shows. The #LushLife reunion immediately flips the energy, pulling you into the history of a Jersey creative who’s evolved into a father, rapper, visual artist, chef, and founder of an entire Hip Hop subgenre. Trills opens up about how fatherhood sharpened his purpose and how losing a parent reshaped the way he shows up for his own kids. We push deep into his passion for cooking, his approach to visual arts and painting, and the stage presence that built his reputation. The episode boldly confronts the state of Hip Hop today, challenging the superficial narratives and spotlighting the voices shaping the next era. Then we get into Trills’ overlooked superpower—his ability to pair food and booze with the precision of a Michelin-level creative. This conversation is daring, layered, and guaranteed to spark debates across every timeline.

GENERATIONAL TRAUMA pulls no punches as ANT welcomes Dex McBean, the former Ashy L Bowz lyricist who flipped his entire identity and stormed into the finance world with more precision than a NPR Planet Money investigative breakdown. The episode jumps from raw memories of underground hip hop grind culture to the shocking truth about how artists are failing financially because nobody taught them wealth building. Dex exposes the exact investments he makes, the psychology behind branding financial education through music, and the uncomfortable link between trauma, hustle culture, and the way Hip Hop commodifies struggle. As financial stability becomes one of the loudest conversations in the culture—from viral rap debates to mainstream reporting—this episode forces you to confront what’s real and what’s performance. It’s bold, unfiltered, and guaranteed to spark arguments in every group chat. Listen if you’re ready to rethink everything you were taught about money and survival.

On this special edition of #RANTSWITHANTDAMNiT: Shooting The Shit, ANT links up with rapper, actor, and author @drakulathadon for a no-holds-barred conversation titled “Hidden Agendas.” We dive deep into who Drakula Da Don really is—from his gritty upbringing to the lessons that shaped his hustle and his art. He opens up about how becoming a parent shifted his entire perspective on life, forcing him to face the responsibilities and realities that too many try to run from. But this ain’t just surface talk. We get into the controversial trenches: 🔥 Deadbeat moms and the double standards nobody wants to admit. 🔥 Child support—is it accountability, or is it just another system built to break men? 🔥 Parenting in 2025—why raising kids today is nothing like how we were raised. 🔥 The projects on deck—from music to writing to acting, Drakula lays out what’s next. This episode pulls zero punches and asks the questions most podcasts are too scared to touch. It’s a cultural therapy session, a barbershop debate, and a hood philosophy lecture—all wrapped into one. 🎙 Hidden Agendas isn’t just a title—it’s a warning. The truths we hit in this episode will spark arguments, shift perspectives, and maybe even expose the hypocrisies we all ignore. 📲 Press play, join the conversation, and don’t be afraid to get uncomfortable. #RANTSWITHANTDAMNiT | Shooting The Shit | Culture. Chaos. No Chaser.
