Conway The Machine stopped by The GoodTalk Show for a conversation that perfectly blends music, mindset, and Buffalo pride. Conway opens up about planning to take all of 2025 off from releasing music—something unheard of for an artist known for dropping relentlessly—but explains why he heard enough and had to put out a project before the year was over. He breaks down how he learned to hustle his music and business outside of the industry’s conventional playbook, and how those same methods helped show the underground a new path to independence and longevity.Then things got competitive. We put NYC buffalo wings to the ultimate test with a real Buffalo native, sampling three of the city’s best spots to see who actually does it right. To top it off, Conway brought that Buffalo energy by lighting up a Kansas City Chiefs target with a paintball gun for some extra good luck heading into the NFL season for the Buffalo Bills. Music, business, food, and chaos—real GoodTalk with a real legend.

On this episode of The GoodTalk Show, we sit down with two of Michigan’s fastest-rising young rappers — Babyfxce E and 1Up Tee — for a deep dive into the heart of Detroit and Flint’s new wave. We talk about their Michigan roots, how the unique Detroit/Flint sound has reshaped hip hop, and what it means to come up as underdogs in a scene that’s quietly taking over the whole game.Since Babyfxce E grew up under the guidance of his survivalist father, we put both artists’ outdoor instincts to the test with some real-life challenges — including catching fish with their bare hands and paintball target practice. Who’s the best outdoorsman? Who crumbles under pressure? Tune in to find out.

ApezFollowKoba is BACK on the GoodTalk couch for his long-awaited second episode, and it gets wild fast. Koba finally addresses the infamous T-shirt scandal — the 200 orders he never fulfilled, the $12K hole he dug himself into, and how Jonny Shipes is now stepping in to help him make things right for the fans. From there we throw him straight into a Shark Tank–style pitch where he comes with new (and extremely on-brand) product ideas that somehow get worse and better at the same time. Between the chaos, the jokes, and the world events we break down along the way, this might be one of the funniest and most unpredictable GoodTalk episodes yet. Tap in, laugh with us, and welcome Koba back to the GoodTalk universe.
