Topic: Pimp C

A 1990 clip from the Geraldo Rivera show features Raynoma Singleton, Barry Gordy's ex-wife, making salacious allegations about Gordy's past in Detroit. Singleton claims Gordy acted as a pimp before Motown's success and expresses bitterness over receiving only a plaque after the company sold for $61 million. The hosts discuss this as an early example of the "cancel cannon" used to marginalize a successful black mogul.

"Lean," a mixture of prescription cough syrup and soda, is traced from its origins in Texas with UGK and Pimp C to its global explosion through artists like Lil Wayne. The hosts discuss the cultural markers of lean, such as double styrofoam cups and the color purple, and its presence in high-profile events like the Trayvon Martin case. They critique the pharmaceutical industry for its role in the opioid epidemic and the marketing of products like ZzzQuil that mimic the aesthetic of the drug.
