Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by some of the most entertaining men in hip hop, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda. Joe and Jada toast Yayo and Murda on their new podcast, The Real Report, which will join Joe and Jada on The Volume in January 2026. Yayo and Murda give listeners a taste of what they'll hear on The Real Report with wildly entertaining stories from their time with 50 Cent and G-Unit, including the New York group's legendary rap beefs with Joe's Terror Squad, Jada and The LOX, Ja Rule, and even a lesser-known beef with Ghostface Killah and Wu-Tang Clan. They also chop it up about the Ice Cube vs. The Notorious B.I.G. debate Yayo got into with N.O.R.E. and crew on Drink Champs; who had the best verse on “N****z Done Started Something" between DMX, Ma$e, Jada, Styles P, and Sheek Louch; whether it's still valid to listen to R Kelly, Gunna, or Tekashi 6ix9ine; how much money Yayo and Murda are generating with their VladTV interviews; the younger generation hating on Eminem; and whether or not Sean "Diddy" Combs is at fault for Biggie Smalls being in Los Angeles on the night of his death.

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1. They start by discussing Barstool’s deal with Netflix and  the podcast space expanding from audio to video. They compare it to sports moving from radio to TV and explain why it isn’t “selling out”...it’s smart business (3:00).  They move to the criticism of the NBA Cup and they both agree the blowback is unfounded and  that the in-season tournament is a hit since the players bought in (19:00). Colin offers his new theory that explains the unprecedented drop off from Russell Wilson after seeing Tua on MNF. He argues that when smaller quarterbacks are afraid to get hit, they age overnight. They both agree that Tua’s career is likely over (29:45).  They discuss the evolution of Justin Herbert, and why they think he could win a title and an MVP under Jim Harbaugh (37:15). They also express sympathy for Joe Burrow after he gave multiple despondent press conferences and they debate whether his discontent is purely with the Bengals or if there are other factors (43:45). They also try to decipher what the trade value for Burrow would be if he forces a trade (58:00). Finally, Colin explains why Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is an easy player to scout due to Indiana running an NFL style offense (1:00:30), and they discuss some of their bad sports bets (1:06:00).   (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
