  • Ep 72 - Is Black Excellence a Scam? + Kyren Lacy Tribute

    Ep 72 - Is Black Excellence a Scam? + Kyren Lacy Tribute
    Apr 29 2025
    This week on Great Minds Drink Alike (Ep 72), we open with a heartfelt tribute to the life of Kyren Lacy, honoring his memory and legacy. The crew dives into the viral Pop the Balloon YouTube series now making waves on Netflix — is it worth the hype?

    We react to Soulja Boy’s recent sexual assault lawsuit, Zion Williamson’s latest messy love triangle that led to his girlfriend’s arrest, and Tyreek Hill finding himself in hot water after a family dispute made headlines.

    In our Puff It or Pass It segment: The Texas Senate just passed a law requiring fathers to pay child support from the moment of conception — is it a W or a reach?

    We also tackle the double standards in the case of Karmelo Anthony, a young man arrested after defending himself in a fatal fight. Is justice ever truly fair?

    Aqib Talib and Michael Crabtree finally squash their legendary beef, and for the Question of the Week, we ask:
    Is Black Excellence a scam?
    We dive into the real meaning behind the phrase and whether it’s helping or hurting the culture.
