- The podcast marks Lil Wayne's return to podcasting, following his previous run hosting Young Money Radio on Apple Music.
- Each episode follows Wayne winding down after performing for thousands of fans, joined by Carton and a special guest to cover sports, entertainment, and pop culture headlines.
- Wayne and Carton will record a live episode on July 19 at Fanatics Fest with guests Eli Manning, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Darrelle Revis.
- Executive producers include Lil Wayne, Carton, Matthew Ostrom, Laura Palumbo Johnson, Jason Fox, and Fabian Marasciullo.
Why it matters: This pairs one of hip-hop's biggest names with a proven sports-talk personality, giving YouTube a celebrity-driven sports-and-culture weekly show. For Wayne, it's a return to the format after Young Money Radio ended on Apple Music — a second attempt now in a far more crowded podcast market.
