Purple Cups X Champagne

We're joined by Chris (@delamusic107) the host of The Hip-Hop Advocates Podcast (@thehiphopadvocates) this week as we celebrate Fatherhood - THE RIGHT WAY! Getting right to the sh** we discuss the utter disrespect for one of the top 20 holidays of the year, Father's Day. The guys ask themselves why is that the all-powerful women gang feel it's okay to hijack our holiday? Being that all three of the dads on the show are also musicians, Jonathan Cheddie asks them how'd they feel if there kids weren't Hip-Hop enthusiasts and how did their dads react to them not following the espanish route and instead trading their guidas for two (virtual) turntables and a mic. And much, much more. Enjoy the show and make sure to check out them Hip-Hop Advocate boys for some Hip-Hop culture gems!

This week we made it to one of the top staples in the Queens Kick-Game - All The Right! (@AllTheRight) We sit with Mike (@TheCamp0ut) to discuss the current state of sneaker culture, where the fashion and retail game is headed, and his love for everything that comes along with the movement. If you're about that life you'll definitely enjoy his insight and good humor as he easily fits into the Purple Cups flow, especially when it comes to discussing this week's #BrunchBanter - is you cool with family & friends dating? If you're anywhere near Elmhurst Queens (hopefully not copping sneakers at Queens Center Mall) stop in; All The Right Inc. 91-30 Corona Avenue Elmhurst NY 11373

For a couple years now, way before we even really introduced the idea of having guests (Janel, you don't count), we had always spoken about having this guy on our show. Well this week it finally came true, the Queens kid wit' the mean lids, Stephanos Groutas (@StephGrout) is in the building!! We get right to the sh**s and discuss #BrunchBanter; Can you smash during a break and what's worse, it being an ex or a one-nighter?? The guys have interesting takes that are obviously based solely on the male POV haha! Naomi Osaka sits out and the internets backs her up - but media doesn't. Will the Nets winning be a big deal for real New Yorkers? And what does this mean for the Knicks in the 2022? And MUCH more... ENJOY!!

This week we explore our pasts and those of the mates we choose, should their past have a statute of limitations? Our #BrunchBanter question asks if it’s okay for your partner to claim their ex as their soulmate? (The polls came in 76% to 24% in favor of NO). Fans seem to have suffered from serious cabin fever during the pandemic and have taken their frustrations to the court - literally. They’ve been throwing stuff and spitting on players, and these athletes ain’t wit’ the sh**s anymore. What should be done? The guys give their take on DMX’s posthumous release and dive right into the proposed Mount Rushmore of the 2010-2020 decade in Hip-Hop. Enjoy and please don’t forget to save and share our show!

The Purple Cup Pirates take a trip to Harlem to sit with none other than Michael "Mikey" Cole, owner of Mikey Likes It Ice Cream, the number 1 New York made ice-cream.   Mike puts us on to the history behind his brand, how he stumbled upon ice cream as his saving grace, and the driving force behind his success - love. His dedication to his community and people are driven by that main ingredient. He strives to bring joy to any and everyone who steps foot into one of his locations, and makes sure that everyone on his team lives this vision.  We speak on all the connections and dreams that have been realized via ice cream. From watching Patrick Ewing's car parked outside his hood as a young lad, to now being side by side with the New York Legend and collaborating on sneakers together. Being able to inspire kids to get good grades to earn free ice cream, the same kids that he once was. Taking his aunt's recipe and fine-tuning it to serve the masses - and he's just getting started.  We hope

This episode we pay respects to our legends gone but not forgotten, Lionel "Chinx" Pickens & Kobe Bryant. We also pay respects to our own living legend, Joshua Robles on his 33rd lap around el sol!! Which leads us into "rules" made for men celebrating birthdays that women seem to not have to abide by. We touch on the induction of probably one of the most underrated game changers of our generation - Kevin Garnett, and his fellow inductees Kobe Bryant & Tim Duncan. As the new best 3-man podcast on the planet we decide to touch on one of our competitors, The Joe Budden Podcast, and the fall out between their hosts - is this something Josh, Cheddie & Handsome will have to face down the line? We also discuss the MONSTER album J. Cole hits us with and what that means for his own trio of champions, Kendrick & Drake. And much more...

From legalizing cannabis to legalizing big cans & butts it seems New York is pulling out all the stops to get it's economy rolling again. We delve into the current D.A. ruling of no longer persecuting prostitution in NY and why we feel it's happening. New York also took a step in honoring our late great legend, Earl "DMX" Simmons by making his birthday, December 18th (damn Sags), DMX Day. Swizz talks about fake love at X's eulogy and how important having a will is.

Ladies & Uglymen, 4/20, we can FINALLY celebrate this glorious holiday as it was meant to be celebrated... IN NEW YORK!!! Looks like the big apple is about to be infused! For years there have been debates as to why the greatest city in the world is so late to the game. People have been arrested, mistreated, falsely imprisoned over some sh** that's part of every day life in so many other states. Some think this took place out of he goodness of New York's heart, while others (such as Handsome) believe others factors were in play behind the recent legalization of God's Herb. The guys discuss what this means for our economy, those with prior convictions, and even the little guy who just wants to smoke in peace in these mean New York streets. We also dive into the long term outcome in the everyday life of the U.S., our athletes, commercials, etc. So sit back, puff whatever it is that gets you in your zone, and enjoy the show!

The age old question; can two opposite sexers go on dates and not end up nakes?? Even deeper, what if they're IN relationships? Should their significant others be concerned, or is that just some archaic caveman jealousy sh**? Hmm...

Kudi decides to make a plethora of statements during his most recent SNL performance, and much more - ENJOY!

R.I.P. Earl Simmons, Father, Son, Friend, Inspiration...

This week we dive into what the Peacock Network has decided to censor when it comes to their recent purchase of the WWE’s intellectual property, we discuss Lil Nas X’s recent troll marketing with bloody satanic Air Max’s that worked like a charm.. but at what cost?
