Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:20:44 +0000

Podwarz round 3

Everybody wants the crown.Everybody wants the success, the respect, the money, the growth, and the results.But very few people want the process that comes with it.

In this episode, Big Smash takes a hard look at why so many people are chasing outcomes they haven't prepared for, why shortcuts eventually come with a price, and how discipline, consistency, and integrity are still undefeated.From social media's obsession with overnight success to the lessons hidden in struggle, this conversation challenges listeners to stop focusing on the destination and start respecting the journey.Because every shortcut creates a future invoice.Every rep matters.Every sacrifice matters.And every lesson you avoid eventually finds its way back to you.

S4TheBonus5:Lowkey They Had It Coming

Sun, 31 May 2026 05:00:51 +0000

Some thoughts are supposed to stay in your head… but we’re saying them out loud.

In this episode, Big Smash and Bougee Babe take a hilarious but honest look at the people, situations, and decisions we just can’t feel sorry for. From repeated mistakes and fake accountability to self-inflicted drama and karma finally collecting its debt, we’re diving into those moments where all you can say is…

“Lowkey… they had it coming.”

This isn’t about being heartless. It’s about recognizing when consequences aren’t bad luck—they’re the result of choices.

Laugh with us, disagree with us, and maybe even see yourself in a few of these stories.

S4TheBonus4:Remember When I Was Simpin

Sun, 24 May 2026 05:00:48 +0000

We’ve all had that one person that had us doing WAY too much 😂

Ignoring red flags.

Sending long texts.

Going broke trying to prove love.

“Remember When I Was Simpin” is a funny, honest, and painfully real conversation about overloving people who never deserved your softness in the first place.

🎙️ PodWarz 2 Round 1

💔 Some of y’all still healing from what’s discussed on this episode.

S4TheBonus3:What Has Life Taught You

Sun, 03 May 2026 04:00:23 +0000

This ain’t a feel good episode… this is a REAL one.

Big Smash and Uncle Dolemite sit down and break life all the way down from childhood lessons you didn’t even realize you were learning… to teenage decisions that felt right at the time… to grown man accountability that you can’t run from.

No filters. No fake wisdom.

Just real talk about:

The lessons that cost you
The patterns you had to face
The truths most people avoid
And what it really takes to grow into the man you’re supposed to be

They challenge each other, call out bad habits, and speak on the difference between surviving life… and actually learning from it.

S4TheBonus2:The Midwest Drip

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 05:00:30 +0000

Before social media told people what to wear… Chicago already knew how to step.

This bonus episode takes you back to the late 90s and early 2000s—when being fly wasn’t about designer labels, it was about being clean, intentional, and confident. From crispy white tees and flawless Air Force 1s to Jordans that meant something and Pelle Pelle jackets that made statements, this is a deep dive into the culture that made Chicago one of the flyest cities in fashion.

This ain’t just about clothes it’s about identity, pride, and presence.

Because back then… you didn’t dress to be seen.

You dressed to be respected.

S4TheBonus1: You Just Early

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:10:01 +0000

Everybody got an opinion… especially when they only saw a piece of the picture.

In this episode, Big Smash break down what happens when confidence turns into control, and how some people mistake their way for the way. Just because something doesn’t look like how you’d do it doesn’t make it wrong — it just means you don’t understand it yet.

This isn’t a rebuttal… it’s a recalibration.

We’re talking perspective, premature opinions, and why moving different will always get misread by people who only respect familiarity. Not everything needs to be loud to be intentional, and not everybody speaking on you has seen enough to define you.

Sometimes people ain’t wrong… they just early.

S4E12:The Pressure That Builds Diamonds

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 04:00:31 +0000

In this episode, Big Smash breaks down the reality behind success using the message of The Pursuit of Happiness and why the journey to winning is never as pretty as it looks.

We dive into what it really means to stay locked in when life isn’t going your way. From struggling in silence, to carrying responsibility under pressure, to maximizing every opportunity when it finally shows up this episode is about endurance.

S4E11:The Family That Stays

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:10:12 +0000

In this episode, Big Smash takes it back to the foundation — family.

Using the message behind Soul Food, we break down what really holds a family together when life gets real. Because it’s easy to say “family over everything” when everything is good… but what happens when tension, pride, money, and miscommunication start pulling people apart?

S4E10:The Me Becomes Us

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:30:58 +0000

What happens when two individuals are forced to become a unit?

In this episode of I’ll Explain All This Later, Big Smash breaks down the powerful theme of “Ride or Die” versus real loyalty, using the cultural backdrop of survival, pressure, and partnership Queen And Slim

Too many people say they want a partner for life—but when pressure shows up, so does their true character.

S4E9:The Past Is The Past

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 05:00:13 +0000

In this powerful transition into Season 4, Episode 9, Big Smash tackles the heavy lifting of evolution in “The Past is The Past.” Taking a page out of the classic Poetic Justice, we’re looking at what happens when the “Old Record” of your life meets the new path you’re trying to pave.

We’ve all got a history—a “Rearview Mirror” filled with mistakes, past exes, and a body count that the “Street Committee” loves to judge. But if you’re constantly driving while looking backward, you’re going to wreck the legacy you’re building in the windshield.

S4E8:The Venom Of A Snake

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 01:40:00 +0000

In this heavy-hitting episode of S4E8, Big Smash takes us to the gritty streets of Harlem by way of the cinematic classic Paid in Full to break down a poison that is killing more legacies than the game itself: Envy.

We’re stripping away the designer labels and the "boss" talk to look at the Rico Syndrome—that moment a brother decides to trade a lifetime of loyalty for a season of stunting. When you start "fronting" to impress a female who is only there for the mirage, you aren't just lying to her; you’re backdooring the very people who built the foundation you’re standing on.

S4E7: The Mirage Of A Fling

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 05:00:59 +0000

We are peeling back the layers of a specific type of deception: Emotional Fraud. This isn't just about having a "side thing"; it’s about the deliberate act of faking a soul-level connection because you know that honesty would cost you the physical access you’re chasing.

In this episode, Big Smash takes an unfiltered look at the high cost of playing with people's hearts. Using the 1996 classic A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, we break down the specific stress that comes when you sell a dream to a stranger while you have a reality of never committing.

S4E6:The Guarded Gate

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 05:00:01 +0000

Using the strategic backdrop of the film The Great Debaters, Big Smash dives into the “Quiet War” of Black excellence and the discipline of silence. As a father of eight building a legacy in this world he addresses the current political climate and ICE raids through the lens of selective solidarity—explaining why his energy is focused on the home front and the people who have historically stood in the gap for the culture. This episode is a reality check on guarding your pride, representing your heritage, and knowing when a quiet fight is the most lethal move you can make

S4E5:The Stopping Of Playing With Blessings

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Too many people are running "drills" and "tests" on partners who are already showing up correctly. This episode is a reality check: Are you following "single-player" rules while you have a blessing sitting right in front of you?

BIG SMASH IS HERE TO BRING THE VERDICT OF THE MOVIE TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME

Stop testing what has already been proven. If you keep treating a consistent, hardworking partner like a placeholder, don’t be surprised when they eventually find a new home. You can’t win the game if you’re too busy sabotaging the prize.

S4E4:The Allergic To Peace

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 15:10:13 +0000

While we all know how to survive a blizzard, most of us have no idea how to accept an ending . We call it “chemistry” when it’s actually just “chaos,” and what we call “boring” could actually just be “peace.”

In this episode, We’re diving into the "Safe Cage"—that place where we stay in a toxic mess just because the drama feels like home. Using the lens of the classic Diary of a Mad Black Woman, we break down why we sprint toward familiar chaos and flinch at intentional peace.

The truth is: you aren't "bored" with the good guy; you’re just finally safe. And for a lot of us, safety feels like an ambush. It’s time to stop waiting for the "other shoe to drop" and start realizing you deserve to walk on solid ground.

S4E3:The Unfiltered Lens

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 05:00:43 +0000

This weeks inspiration is the 2020 movie the photograph.

In 2026, we are obsessed with the "Perfect Picture." We’ve mastered the art of the filter, the angle, and the "Black Excellence" resume, but we’ve lost the art of being seen. Mae and Michael are the ultimate "on paper" couple—successful, beautiful, and driven—but they are both haunted by a legacy of silence they didn't create but are currently repeating.

In this episode, Big Smash breaks down why vulnerability is the ultimate flex and why your "Success Mask" might be the very thing keeping you lonely.

S4E2:The Accountability Code

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 05:00:28 +0000

We all know the "Bro Code"—that unwritten rule that says we take our secrets to the grave. But what happens when that code becomes a cage? Harper Stewart walked into a wedding weekend with a book full of secrets (The Vault), proving that sometimes the people closest to us are the ones most afraid to tell us the truth.

In this episode, Big Smash breaks down why we choose "loyalty" over "growth" and how the silence of your friends might be the very thing holding you back from being a better man.

S4E1:The Scoreboard

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 22:45:34 +0000

Season 4 is here. We’re kicking things off with a classic movie backdrop: Love & Basketball. But we aren’t just swooning over the "Double or Nothing" scene—we’re checking the scoreboard.

In this episode, Big Smash breaks down the lopsided politics of sacrifice in Black love. Why is one person always expected to play defense while the other takes all the shots? We’re diving into the "MVP Complex," the "Support System" trap, and why Black women are often told to bench their dreams just to keep the relationship in the game.

S3E24:The Fuel,Who We Do It For

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 22:45:56 +0000

THE SEASON FINALE ......You're grinding. You're losing sleep. You're pushing past the pain. But when the exhaustion hits, who's the "why" that makes you keep going?

This week, Big Smash is getting real about the engine behind the hustle: The Fuel. Is it the legacy for your kids? The security for your partner? Or is it proving to the younger you that you finally made it?

We're discussing the high-stakes pressure to not make mistakes that could cost you everything, and why understanding your core motivation is the ultimate guardrail against self-sabotage. Find out what you're truly working for, and lock in that fire forever. We'll explain all this later.

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 01:30:22 +0000

This week, Big Smash breaks down the final stage of "Hiring for Love": accepting the offer of a committed, monogamous relationship. We're talking about the truth that often gets missed: you matter too.

We dive into what that monogamy contract should include, focusing on the benefits package of peace, security, and mutual respect. Learn how to negotiate your worth without sounding selfish, why accepting the job means dropping the 'back-up plan,' and how to make sure you and your partner are both actively working together to build an empire, not just keeping a business afloat. Don't sign until your terms are met. We'll explain all this later.

S3E21:Drunk In Love

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 20:01:39 +0000

Big Smash dives deep into why we sometimes choose to love someone through their flaws, even when we know they're not good for us. He explains how this toxic pattern can destroy your peace, sanity, and fundamental understanding of what love really is. It’s a powerful conversation about the dire consequences of staying with someone you know, deep down, isn't meant for you.

Join us as we talk about the difference between loving a person and being intoxicated by the idea of them. It's a wake-up call for anyone who's ever sacrificed their well-being for a destructive relationship.

Welcome to I’ll Explain All of This Later—but today, I’m sliding in as your guest host. Smash decided he was gonna call out of work, so I’m crashing the pod. Big thanks to Smash for letting me take over his mic (big pause).

I’m Styles—yeah, that’s S-T-Y-L-E-S—from The Brunch Hour Podcast, Hustle & Heal Podcast, and Brunch Behavior: The Pour Report. And today’s topic? Dating in 2025—where AI and relationships-collide, and technology has officially become the messy friend at the table who refuses to mind their business.

We’re breaking down how AI is transforming modern love:

• The AI snitch that catches cheaters through texts and screenshots

• The algorithm detective piecing together shared locations and receipts

• The chaos agent creating deepfakes and fueling TikTok drama

• And the unexpected perks—AI tools that actually help couples with calendars, reminders, and even date-night ideas

Bottom line? Technology isn’t the problem—weak relationships are. If your loyalty’s solid, you don’t need a VPN.

In "Thanks, But I Didn't Ask You," he explores those well-intentioned moments when someone offers guidance you didn't seek, and how, despite good intentions, it can sometimes backfire.

S3E4:Ego Vs Bae

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 03:00:00 +0000

This week we're tackling a topic that hits close to home: pride. In relationships, that stubborn ego can be a silent killer, building walls we don't even realize are there. We know, especially in our community, the pressure to be strong, to always be right. But sometimes, that pride is the very thing preventing us from experiencing the deep, fulfilling partnerships we crave.

We're diving deep into the ways pride manifests in our relationships – the defensiveness, the unwillingness to apologize, the constant need to be "right." We'll explore how these behaviors create unnecessary tension, block genuine connection, and ultimately, erode the foundation of trust and intimacy.

Coach G brings the psychological insight, breaking down the root causes of our pride, while Big Smash delivers that raw, unfiltered perspective, sharing personal experiences and hard-earned wisdom. Tune in
