Episode 84 of You Might Wanna Sit Down for This kicks off with some classic group banter, as Trivelle states that DJXP is “enamoured by women.” That lighthearted moment leads to a deeper conversation about the type of men who claim not to like women, yet still rely on them for what they provide...while asking the question "Did those women really go to space?"
The discussion then segues into Tracee Ellis Ross’s viral comments on Michelle Obama and her brother’s podcast, where she opens up about preferring to date younger men over older ones. The group explores the potential double standard when those preferences are flipped, along with other dating quirks and oddities—like Martha Stewart’s takes on romance, Damon Wayans allegedly dating his nephew’s girlfriend, and more stories that dive into the dynamics of dating, marriage, and power distribution in relationships.
Coachella gets some love next, with highlights from Missy Elliott and T-Pain. The crew reflects on the longevity of their careers, which have spanned decades since they first dropped music in the '90s and 2000s. That leads to a fun segment on Mandela Effects in music—think lyrics you thought you knew from tracks like “All I Do Is Win,” Lloyd’s “I Want You,” and Usher’s “Nice and Slow.”
Next up: the government-mandated Drake segment. The team reacts to Nokia jumping to #2 on the Billboard charts and the reported legal threat from UMG, possibly tied to the recent diss track drama. They touch on the rumored $250 million settlement and break down what Drake would realistically see from that number based on his contributions to the biggest label and market share holder in the industry.
With the NBA playoffs officially underway, the crew reacts to Paul Pierce’s spicy comments about what it would mean if Steph Curry wins another ring during “The LeBron Era.” They dive into first-round matchups and what to expect from the postseason—with some bold predictions from Trivelle on who might shake things up.
To wrap things up, they debate the viral “Mount Rushmore” artist lists floating around—covering categories like New York Hip-Hop, ATL Hip-Hop, and their own takes on what those lists might look like for Afrobeats and Dancehall. Things heat up quickly as Vybz Kartel and Sean Paul’s legacies come into focus in the battle for dancehall supremacy.
