Summary

The latest episode from the JBP begins with the Mariah Carey tribute at the iHeart Awards who seemed to be unimpressed with the performances (30:33) which leads the room to discuss tributes needing an overhaul, and which celebrities & artists they’ll be sad about when they pass (50:00). Usher is seemingly trying to change the lyrics to ‘Nice & Slow’ (56:50), the crew discusses Bill Burr’s new stand-up special on Hulu and whether or not they agree with his opinion on open-casket funerals (1:23:14), and UMG responds to Drake’s ‘Not Like Us’ lawsuit (1:33:19). Also, the lineup for 2025 Dreamville Festival (1:49:17), Iggy Azalea takes aim at UMG (1:55:30), another Kanye West rant hits the internet (2:04:36), Joe questions his co-hosts about hope (2:19:10), Tracy Morgan throws up courtside at the Knicks game (2:38:32), resurfaced audio of Jonathan Majors (2:47:00), and much more.
