On this episode:
Will Haze, Mason Xross, and Ejay mix wild humor with real conversations about community, culture, and responsibility. What starts as playful banter and weekend stories quickly turns into a deeper discussion about neighborhood safety, the ethics of "snitching," and the moral gray areas of protecting your community—especially when kids are involved.

The hosts also dive into cultural identity and representation, reflecting on the influence of icons like Malcolm-Jamal Warner and the impact of shows such as The Cosby Show and Malcolm & Eddie. They explore what it means to be pro-Black in different environments, the complexities of interracial relationships, and how upbringing shapes perspective.

Raw, funny, and thought-provoking, this episode balances laughs with honest reflection on life choices, past experiences, and the absurdities of society.

On this episode: Big laughs and classic Smoke energy as the crew trades jokes, holiday stories, and New Year reflections — talking growth, relationships, and what they're leaving behind in 2025. But as always, the jokes don't stop the real conversations from landing.

The hosts take a moment to pay tribute to loved ones and respected figures who've recently passed, reminding us how tight the community really is and why checking in on your people matters more than ever. From there, the convo swings into music — debating classic albums, personal impact, and whether Blackout or Watch the Throne really deserves the crown. Spoiler: music is subjective, and the arguments get spicy 😤🎶

Then things take a sharp turn into current events and global politics — with humor, skepticism, and a lot of "wait… make that make sense." The crew debates war crimes, kidnappings, financial motives behind military actions, and how legal definitions can shift depending on who's in charge. They also question whether civil unrest today hits the same as in past eras, and whether the world might be edging closer to something much bigger… yeah, that kind of conversation 👀🌍

But it's not all heavy. The episode weaves in talk about loyalty in hip-hop, mental health in entertainment, and why representation in media needs to be more than just checking boxes. They even break down modern storytelling and how shows like Stranger Things sometimes trade clean narratives for shock value.

And just when you think it can't get any more random… enter the legendary debate about a "One-Winged Murder Fetus." Don't ask. Just listen. 😂

This episode is peak I Want All The Smoke:
real talk, wild jokes, deep debates, hip-hop love, and moments that'll have you laughing right after thinking way too hard.
