Heavy is the Head | Podcast | Episode 29

🎙️ In Episode 29 of Heavy Is the Head Podcast, we’re hitting everything from NFL drama to Netflix trauma to wild dating disasters.

👑 We kick things off with Crown or Clown, debating Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart walking out of minicamp over a contract clause. Is he standing on business or fumbling the bag?

🎬 Then we dive into Tyler Perry’s new Netflix movie Straw — a deep, emotional rollercoaster with one of the craziest plot twists in recent memory. We break down the mental health themes, the performances, and whether it’s worth the watch.

🏀 The crew then debates Michael Beasley’s bold 1-on-1 claims, including beating Lance Stephenson, Carmelo, and even LeBron, and ask: Does beating someone 1-on-1 really mean you're the better player?

🏆 Then it’s NBA Finals talk: Pacers vs. Thunder — who’s got next, what’s up with SGA not getting his usual foul calls, and is this the start of a new NBA era?

📲 And finally, we wrap with some Reddit-style wild stories:

-One dude got scammed after sending a nude and kept paying hush money for weeks.

-Another lost a girl because he called AAA for a flat tire.

Trust us, you don’t want to miss these takes.
