RANT 81 finds FAT LIVER JONES bouncing from nepo babies and hip-hop legacy to public executions, questionable parenting, international scams, stolen gold and one of the friendliest divorces ANT has ever seen.

ANT starts with Silver Spoons, the podcast from Jae’Won—son of Jadakiss—and CJ Wallace, son of The Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans. Their conversation about growing up with famous parents gets ANT into nepo babies, streamer culture, privilege and what happens when somebody starts the race with access most people will never have.

From there, corporate America’s annual Breast Cancer Awareness performance somehow leads into a What Would You Do? moment before the conversation takes a much darker turn with Nidal Hasan, the convicted Fort Hood shooter, and the planned firing-squad execution that has ANT questioning when punishment starts becoming entertainment.

ANT also gets into Dr. Umar Johnson’s latest appearance with Nick Cannon before revisiting the Virginia case involving the 6-year-old who shot teacher Abby Zwerner. This time, ANT has some words for the adults responsible for putting a child in a position where something that serious could happen in the first place.

Then we finally get to the moment that gives the episode its name.

Tobey Maguire officiated the wedding of his ex-wife Jennifer Meyer and her new husband Geoffrey Ogunlesi.

ANT has never seen a divorce this friendly in his life.

The RANT closes with the bizarre case of a Chicago woman whose family says she thought she won an all-expenses-paid vacation before ending up imprisoned in China, plus a former CIA officer accused of having more than $40 million worth of stolen gold bars sitting inside his Virginia home.

Only ANT can start with the sons of Jadakiss and Biggie and somehow end up at stolen CIA gold while stopping in the middle to question whether officiating your ex-wife’s wedding is the ULTIMATE FRIENDLY CUCKING.

RANT 80 | A HIT DOG WILL HOLLER finds FAT LIVER JONES questioning the Target boycott, why people are still shopping at Walmart, and why some people get defensive when the conversation wasn’t even about them.

ANT starts with Gloria Velez going back and forth with Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson from Cam’ron’s It Is What It Is before reacting to BMF actor Da’Vinchi’s controversial comments about Black Americans on Cam Newton’s Funky Friday.

That conversation takes a darker turn with the disturbing West Virginia case involving five Black children who were abused and forced into labor by their white adoptive parents, leading to a $4.4 million settlement with the state.

From there, ANT gets into a viral TikTok million-dollar scam story, a New Jersey audit questioning approximately $566,000 spent on an employee gym at Newark Public Schools, and whether older drivers should be required to retake their driving tests.

Then ANT takes a deep dive into convicted murderer Christa Pike and Tennessee’s failed attempt to execute her before questioning the decision to grant former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger parole after serving nearly seven years for murdering Botham Jean.

Between the celebrity drama, racial controversies, questionable spending, and criminal justice decisions, ANT has plenty to say about accountability, hypocrisy, and why the rules never seem to apply equally to everybody.

RANT 79 | LET HIM COOK finds FAT LIVER JONES with plenty to talk about before the RANT even gets started.

ANT opens with the release of the Numb Face Media Podcast Production Journal, created to help independent podcasters and creators organize their productions, before revealing the first POB GOLDEN TICKET winner for September.

From there, ANT gives Druski his flowers after landing a TIME100 Next cover and gets into Netflix’s UNABOMBER before Savannah James and April McDaniel spark a conversation about friendship, money, expectations, first-class travel, and what ANT calls the Black Tax.

Then the news cycle takes over.

ANT gets into the flydubai flight incident that sent social media into conspiracy mode, a TikTok couple facing arson charges, an alleged Manhattan QR-code parking scam, and a lawsuit involving Queen & Slim star Jodie Turner-Smith and her brother.

The episode also gets into another bizarre shooting story before ANT reacts to Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments about social media, cellphones, and the battle for public opinion.

Somewhere between creator tools, internet conspiracies, celebrity culture, scams, friendship debates, and the first-ever POB GOLDEN TICKET winner, ANT does exactly what the title says.

LET HIM COOK.

RANT 78 | YOU GOT JUICED opens with FAT LIVER JONES reacting to Netflix’s Lizzie Borden story and asking when our fascination with evil turns into exploitation.

That leads ANT into OJ Unseen: Exploitation of Evil and the never-before-seen footage surrounding O.J. Simpson’s JUICED prank show before the episode spirals into a supermarket crash-out over grapes and Hollywood Demons revisiting the disturbing legacy of The Jerry Springer Show.

From there, ANT gets into Travis Kelce being named as a victim in a $35 million Ponzi scheme, a $250,000 Memphis chicken heist, and President Donald Trump barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House access.

The episode also covers an OnlyFans creator getting evicted, controversial preaching about domestic violence and race, and former DNA analyst Yvonne “Missy” Woods receiving a 10-year prison sentence for manipulating forensic DNA data.

SOMETIMES THE PEOPLE QUICKEST TO PACK YOU UP ARE THE ONES STANDING CLOSEST TO YOU.

ANT opens RANT 77 by doing what most people avoid: admitting he spoke too soon and addressing a promise he made to his audience. Then ANT asks why Black people keep helping turn Chris Brown into the permanent face of domestic violence—and whether accountability has become another excuse for an endless public pile-on. From a former corrections officer crying over being labeled a sex offender after sleeping with an inmate to New York State ending the Regents exam as a high-school graduation requirement, everybody has an explanation once the consequences arrive. Then Macklemore is reportedly removed from the Ed Sheeran tour following his pro-Palestine statement—and ANT closes with the uncomfortable truth behind why people get scammed every day: nobody believes it can happen to them until it does.

EVERYBODY WANTS GRACE FOR THEMSELVES AND CONSEQUENCES FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

The jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial are speaking out—and ANT begins with the lone holdout whose position placed the entire case under a microscope. RANT 76 moves from reports of Black influencers being banned from the U.S. Open to Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone and the strange ritual of announcing your departure from social media. ANT also examines the backlash from some White New Yorkers over Mayor Zohran Mamdani attending the 25th-anniversary remembrance of 9/11—and Mamdani’s response about what previous city leaders told residents regarding the air quality after the attacks. Plus, Fat Joe defends his use of the N-word, Big Tigger avoids charges following domestic-violence accusations from his wife, and New York City’s “hooker from hell” delivers one final dose of chaos.

RANT 75 | CLOUT IS A HELL OF A DRUG opens with FAT LIVER JONES ready to go to war with a FedEx customer-service rep before getting into Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black and Netflix’s Death of a Pastor’s Wife.

ANT then revisits the Black Tax, the Lindsay Clancy case and the bigger question of how attention, outrage and public narratives shape the way people react to serious stories.

From there, ANT gets into N.O.R.E. vs DJ Vlad, Keffe D being found guilty in the murder of Tupac Shakur, and James and Chico DeBarge getting arrested on drug-related charges.

The episode closes on the idea that clout can push people to risk their reputation, freedom and common sense just to keep people talking.

RANT 74 | PRAISE YOUR MID brings FAT LIVER JONES and BURBAN BOY REED together for a packed episode about relationships, culture, money, celebrity news and bad decisions.

ANT and REED get into the subscription economy, dating with disabilities, Master P’s generational advice, attraction, and whether people spend too much time chasing an unrealistic “type.”

From there, the conversation turns to Meta’s $17.1 billion multi-state settlement over allegations involving addictive social-media features and child safety, Brandon Tatum’s comments about Black women, and the growing habit of turning celebrity breakups into public press releases.

The episode closes with the Jed York prostitution-sting story and one more reminder that money, status and common sense do not always travel together.
