I love this podcast and Affion Crockett. I could listen to them talk all day. (On a side note) I saw Tank perform once. I did not expect him to tell jokes at the end. That shit was hilarious. If you ever get a chance to catch him, go.

[@Nikki_alterego]

Yeah I seen him live before ..amazing show

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

Another great episode! Felt a bit of nostalgia watching Affion because the last movie I watched with my dad was “Soul Men,” and he absolutely loved it. Lester The Court Jester will forever be embedded in my head. Created lasting memories for me, as my dad passed a few years later. Loved this episode. And I really enjoy trying to figure out the “I Ain’t Sayin No Names,” segment. Thanks Gentlemen 🥰

I just found out Tank does do comedy. SALUTE!!! R and B Money podcast is 1 of my favs! Great guests, stories, and y’all allow the guests to talk without over talking them. 💕💕💕💕💕

[@preciousgem84]

They're getting better then. Because I couldn't finish the Jamie Foxx episode or the Eric Benet episode because Tank kept interrupting and having a conversation versus keeping it more interview style.

[@ladiluvnu]

@@preciousgem84 to me, the Jamie Foxx episode was the best/funniest so far. #WatchIt

I've been watching 👀 different interviews (out of sequence) but this one sold me.

[@akilahbee]

26:33-26:40 "continue to switch up" - This is the reason why a long time ago, I stopped going to certain people's comedy shows 2 years in a row. The same jokes from the year before were being told; as if it was for the people who didn't get to save up for last year's show. There were some new jokes sprinkled in here and there, but for the most part, I knew the punch line before it came.

[@countcryptonite]

[@michellehunter-robinson3041]

Affion is also a dope lyricist/poet, who can come up with intricate bars people would probably not expect from him, because he's as cerebral as he is. Him being funny is but one lethal tool in his arsenal. He could have just have easily been on Def Poetry Jam. Shout out to you, Bro! . 🙌🏽 Much continued success to you. It's awesome to see your star continuing to evolve and ascend. Perhaps you gents should work on that next phase of this generation's comedic platform together?!?! "Why not?" I mean, if it works for Tank being able to continue to take his shirt off...apply it liberally!

[@msaw1997]

Mad props to Tank for getting way deep for our inherent nature being addicted to violence and it being problematic. It has been conditioned and bred into us. Sad but true. Love this podcast.

This was the way I found out a lot more about AC. Thanks for having him. I want to get Katt Williams on soon bc I think his 'I ain't going to say no names' will turn it out. And if you do have him, ask about his music and why he won't release it.
