Drizzy Does it Again? NBA Playoffs, and Netflix MMA

About this episode

The episode discusses Drake's new album, Netflix's MMA event, and the NBA playoffs.

Sliced Apples is back after a software-fueled disappearing act, and this one comes out swinging. Alex and David catch up after finally seeing each other in Houston, then dive straight into Drake’s surprise three-album drop — including a heated debate over whether Iceman is focused and underrated or just another underwhelming post-Scorpion rollout. From Drake’s marketing machine to “bangers vs. deeper cuts,” the boys break down what still works, what doesn’t, and why 43 new songs might be too much even for Drizzy. Then the episode shifts into Netflix’s new MMA event, Francis Ngannou looking like an actual alien, Jake Paul’s fight-promotion strategy, UFC fighter pay, and why competing with the UFC is harder than just paying fighters more. They also recap the Kevin Hart roast, shout out the comedians who actually delivered, and wrap with NBA playoff talk, Wemby’s alien status, James Harden trust issues, and a wildly optimistic Houston Texans schedule prediction. Software willing, Sliced Apples is officially back.
