With the recent firing of Joe Maddon from the Los Angeles Angels, the Gents evaluate what the legendary baseball manager has accomplished in the MLB (1:50). The firing of the Halos' skipper did not carry shock value to EstoBro, TV, and special guest He-Who-Most-Not-Be-Named after his first major league firing. However, between his tenure for the Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs, they wonder if his managing style still has what it takes? After the cold open, the Gents continue to go after the Star Wars fanbase (11:45), and the echoing issues that the toxic fanbase has for the latest installment of the franchise with the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+. The focus on how diverse and explored the franchise has been explored in the Gents' lifetime is everything they need to combat the "gatekeeping fans," and why they need to be sidelined. The shifted frustration is focused on the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine ranking the greatest hip hop albums of all time, only to criticize a list that shows a great deal of favoritism to relevance over cultural impact (32:20). Both TV and EstoBro want a more balanced take from He-Who-Most-Not-Be-Named because he works in the music industry before the collective dismisses this list for being poorly ranked. On a lighter note, Tampa's very own hockey team has a chance to win their third Stanley Cup in a row as they look to face the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup (46:15). The Gents make their predictions on what will it take for the ChampaBay team to win once more before turning their focus on the NBA Finals. In the major spotlight for the guest of the show, EstoBro interviews He-Who-Most-Not-Be-Named about his upcoming tour that he has been waiting for since before the pandemic broke out (60:50). With the show finally getting on the road, the guest shares the excitement he will be experiencing this summer in professional sports team stadiums. With music and sports meeting at one place on the podcast, it was something that EstoBro was more than happy to discuss on the show.
