In this unfiltered episode of the Underground Lounge, Lou Williams and Spank Horton are joined by one of the most respected names in comedy, Earthquake. From the moment he hits the couch, Quake dives into the journey that brought him from D.C. to the national stage, including how the military prepared him for stand-up, why he founded Uptown Comedy Corner, and what it really means to build your own lane in a game that doesn’t always open doors for you.
Earthquake reflects on the changing landscape of comedy, from social media sensations skipping the stage grind, to how the industry has moved away from loyalty, development deals, and originality. He shares his advice for up-and-comers, why hitting the stage still matters, and how being authentic is the only real blueprint to longevity. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Quake speaks on industry beefs, keeping it real offstage, and why he’s not here for the back-and-forth.
Lou and Spank also dig into Earthquake’s views on cancel culture, the pressure to constantly deliver as a comedian, and how he deals with people stealing his material. Along the way, they trade war stories about bombing on stage, growing as performers, and balancing family life with life on the road.
From gems on comedy game politics to side-splitting stories about self-checkout theft, embarrassing hookups, and playing second fiddle to borrowed jokes, this episode is filled with laughter, insight, and hard-earned wisdom. Whether you're a comedy fan, aspiring comic, or just someone who respects the hustle, this one’s packed with real talk from a real one.

In this After Hours continuation of the Underground Lounge’s sit-down with NBA legend Paul Pierce and creator Azar Farideh, the energy gets more personal, more intimate, and even more unfiltered. Picking up where Part 1 left off, Lou Williams and Spank Horton peel back deeper layers as Paul and Azar open up about how they met, their chemistry, and the real-life moments that sparked their late-night podcast Truth After Dark.
Paul shares how dating, therapy, and spirituality are reshaping his views on love, manhood, and purpose. He talks about healing after fame, struggling with addiction, rediscovering his faith, and reaching a new phase in life where vulnerability is power—not weakness. Azar brings her signature wit and transparency, pushing the conversation into bold territory—everything from tantric intimacy and orgasms to gender dynamics, emotional wounds, and why some women are tired of faking it (in more ways than one).
The group also reacts to Paul & Azars recent guest on their show, an energy coach teaches women how to connect to their bodies and spirit ( Amongst other things) . From papaya metaphors to post-pregnancy healing and “pierced by love” matchmaking ideas, nothing is off the table.
This After Hours session is brutally honest, deeply human, and often hilarious. It’s also a powerful reminder of how much men carry quietly, and how necessary these spaces are. Whether you're here for the jokes, the growth, or the raw truth, Part 2 delivers all three.

From southern roots and Big Ten beginnings to becoming a leading voice at Amazon’s Thursday Night Football and NBA broadcasts, Taylor opens up about her unconventional path, her calculated career risks, and the importance of saying yes to uncomfortable growth. She talks about walking away from comfort zones, mastering her craft as an interviewer, and carving out a space that’s defined by preparation, not perception.
The crew tackles everything from the myth of “pretty privilege” to the silent battle between NBA and NFL players, the power of storytelling in sports, and the toxic trends in how today’s athletes are covered. Taylor challenges the culture of comparison, clout-chasing commentary, and narratives that never seem to die, even when they’ve long stopped being true.
Taylor doesn’t shy away from tough questions, about legacy, about criticism, and about being a Black woman constantly under the microscope. She also drops gems about what it means to be seen, respected, and understood on your own terms. Between the serious moments and the signature Underground Lounge laughs (including a run through the hilarious “F*** It Bucket”), this episode delivers insight, depth, and real energy.

In this After Hours edition of The Underground Lounge, Rob49 steps into the building and immediately sets the tone, raw, hilarious, and fully locked in. Lou, Spank, and Holly catch up with Rob on everything from his breakout year to the late-night chaos that helped inspire his now-iconic “What the Helly” movement.
Rob shares how he started out his college studies before life, music, and the trenches pulled him onto a whole different path. He talks about making music that captures real moments—whether it’s club anthems that keep the city lit or tracks that speak to the grind behind the glamor. Rob keeps it all the way real about getting out of survival mode, seeing people’s reactions on the road, and why performing hits different when you know what it took to get there.
The conversation gets personal and hilarious as they trade stories about early rap influences, New Orleans music history, late-night MySpace memories, and which bad decisions were just young hunger versus straight stupidity. Rob also breaks down how “What the Helly” became more than a catchphrase, it turned into a lifestyle, an energy, and a city-wide soundtrack.
From talking about club life versus real life, fake flexing on Instagram, balancing fame with safety, and why he’s only getting started with his upcoming project, Rob proves he’s not just another rapper—he’s a voice for a whole generation that came up without shortcuts.

Lou, Spank, and Holly dive deep with the Grammy Award winning songwriter turned artist as she shares how her journey took her from South Memphis to writing some of the biggest songs in music—only to realize that success behind the scenes comes with a price.
She opens up about what it really took to break out as a songwriter in a city that didn’t understand the lane she was chasing, and why leaving Memphis was more survival than strategy. Jozzy shares behind-the-scenes moments with legends like Missy Elliott, her experience navigating a cutthroat industry, and the frustration of being a hitmaker with little credit, until she decided to flip the script and step into the spotlight.

It’s late, the mics are on, and the filter is off. In this no-holds-barred After Hours episode, Lou, Spank, and Holly spiral into a hilarious, brutally honest convo about luxury, loyalty, and the lines we cross—on purpose.
They kick it off exposing the myth behind high-end fashion: fake bags, inflated prices, and why authenticity is really just a marketing scheme. Holly breaks down the difference between designer and distraction, sharing how luxury used to be used to buy her silence—and why that doesn’t work anymore. And yes, the story about the ex who pulled up, stole the Rolex, and took her shoes? Real. And somehow still funny.
But that’s just the start.
The crew dives deep into the politics of Black-owned businesses, why “support me 'cause I’m Black” gets tricky, and how some of us treat Gucci better than we treat our friends. Then the conversation takes a hard (and hilarious) turn: foot fetishes, nipple licking, steak preferences, religion during Ramadan, and naked locker room behavior are all on the table—literally.
By the end, you’ll know way too much… and still want more.
This is Underground Lounge: After Hours at its finest, messy, meaningful, and mad entertaining. Come for the laughs, stay for the chaos.

In this can't-miss episode of To Be Fair, Lou, Spank, and Vic are handing out flowers and smoke in equal measure. First up: Dwight Howard. The crew gives the big man his well-earned props for making the Hall of Fame, calling out the NBA for years of disrespect—including his wild omission from the Top 75 list. They revisit Dwight’s dominance in Orlando, his misunderstood stints in L.A. and Houston, and why he’s been that dude—even when the league pretended otherwise.
From there, it’s all Big 3 talk. With Dwight signing on, Lou breaks down how Ice Cube finally got it right—but also fumbled early chances by not locking in real hoopers like Melo, Jamal Crawford, or Boogie. Now that the league is city-based, Lou says it’s time to double down and bring real fire to the format.
But things heat up even more when Rich Paul’s comments denying the Heat as a “true Big Three” hit the table. Lou and the guys shut it all the way down—reminding folks that Wade, LeBron, and Bosh were the blueprint. They also shoot down the Celtics “Big Four” myth while keeping the facts and the context tight.
And then comes the challenge. After hearing Brandon Jennings throw his name out there, Lou steps all the way up.
This isn’t just sports talk, it’s legacy talk.

She breaks down her time on Special Forces hanging from helicopters, and dropped into icy water, all for a check (and a little self-growth). But don’t get it twisted, she’s never doing that again.
From there, the crew spirals into hilarious debates: Is it shallow to pass on a man with busted sneakers? Could you date a mortician? Why does the trashman suddenly sound like husband material? And who’s really running the DM game—men or women?
They also tap into the zodiac chaos (shoutout to Scorpios and Aries), reality TV setups, and one painfully relatable story about a man singing the karaoke song to someone else—right in front of Holly.

There’s talk of million-dollar bags, legacy debates, and why certain hoopers might need to lace up or shut up.
But it’s not all basketball. The Gran Coramino tequila crew crashes the set, and just like that, Spank’s “no drinking” streak is out the window. Toasts are raised, secrets are spilled, and the "F**K IT BUCKET" returns with questions nobody’s ready for,including who’s banned from the crib and which guests fumbled their VIP pass with body oil or petty theft (yep, it gets that real).
Gil opens up about his infamous locker room moment that got him suspended, Nick finally addresses the D’Angelo Russell saga with receipts, and everyone weighs in on why old media should be very, very nervous.

Holly mentions a DM from a fan and the crew dives into the complex truths behind modern relationships—like whether women actually want honesty from men, or just a version that fits their comfort zone.
