About this episode

🎙️ The Outcast Podcast: Streams, Scandals, and Substitutes

Welcome back to another wild ride with The Outcast Podcast! This week, the studio buzzed with fresh vibes as Mighty Mike stepped in for Ramo, proving that even when the Outcast crew shuffles the deck, the show never misses a beat.

🎧 Mighty Mike Joins the Chaos

Change can be good—or at least unpredictable—and Mighty Mike brought his own flavor to the table. As Ramo took a breather, Mike kept the energy high, jumping right into hot takes and sparring matches with Tomkat and Memphis. From his trademark wisecracks to thoughtful insights, Mike seamlessly filled the Ramo-sized gap. Let’s see if Ramo can reclaim his seat next week… or if we’ll have a new permanent Outcast!

🚀 Drake Surpasses Kendrick on Spotify

One of the juiciest debates this week was the news that Drake has overtaken Kendrick Lamar in monthly Spotify streams. The crew couldn’t help but weigh in on the age-old discussion: numbers vs. artistry. Is Drake’s streaming dominance a sign he’s the bigger artist overall, or is Kendrick’s impact deeper despite lower streaming counts? Memphis argued for Kendrick’s lyrical genius, while Tomkat highlighted Drake’s commercial prowess. As always, plenty of shots were fired—some playful, some deadly accurate!

🎮 Spotify Stream Match-Ups: The Outcast Game

The team also brought back one of their favorite games: Spotify artist match-ups. In this round, hosts threw out pairs of artists to guess who racks up more monthly streams. Names like Post Malone vs. Travis Scott, Bad Bunny vs. J Balvin, and even classic acts like Eminem vs. Snoop Dogg had the crew second-guessing themselves. Let’s just say Mighty Mike may need to brush up on his streaming stats—Tomkat cleaned house this week!

🕵️ The Epstein File Drama

Of course, no Outcast episode would be complete without a brush with controversy. The crew dove headfirst into the latest Epstein file drama. As new names and allegations surface from the infamous documents, the conversation got heated. The hosts wrestled with questions about accountability, media coverage, and why some big names seem to avoid scrutiny. It was a reminder that while The Outcast Podcast loves music and laughs, they’re never afraid to tackle the messy stories others might avoid.

🗞️ Tomkat’s News & Viral Videos

To close things out, Tomkat’s twisted news corner delivered exactly what fans crave. This week’s viral gems included:

  • A Florida man who tried to rob a bank with a live alligator as his “partner-in-crime.”

  • A woman caught smuggling 70 reptiles in her bra at the airport (Tomkat insists it was a personal record).

  • And, of course, a viral video of a grandma going full WWE with folding chairs at a family barbecue.

No matter how serious things get, Tomkat’s segments remind us that the world is a very weird—and hilarious—place.


🎤 Final Thoughts

This week’s episode was a perfect blend of music debates, pop culture scandal, and signature Outcast humor. Whether you’re a stats nerd arguing streaming numbers, fascinated by conspiracy-laden headlines, or just looking for laughs, The Outcast Podcast delivers every time.
