Gelo’s New Album & Our Real ESPY Picks

·53 min·3 clips
Jaden Daniels gets placed above Jalen Hurts, and the room pushes back immediately.
The episode starts with the usual loose talk and quick jabs. Zo opens by pulling everybody into the room and asking how they are feeling. The answer comes back rough and blunt. They immediately slide into movie talk. *Any Given Sunday* comes up, along with the Willie Beeman line and the Sharks reference. The room keeps riffing on random stuff, including *Tetris* and old YouTube memories. The conversation drifts into weird Elmo clips and other childhood internet junk. That side road turns into a shared laugh instead of a clean reset. After the chatter, the focus shifts to LiAngelo Ball and his new album *League of My Own*. Zo notes that Gelo has been out moving around with the project. He brings up the ESPYs appearance with Zo. He also mentions the Uproxx interview and the video for "Policies." From there, the room asks what has felt best since the album came out. Gelo says the response has been good. He says it feels good to give people new music to rock with. He points out that the album gives listeners more options. He pushes back on the idea that he only has one song people know. The conversation frames the project as another step forward rather than a one-off moment. Zo says he likes that the album does not lean too hard on features. That leads into old-school music talk. The crew starts comparing that approach to how artists used to just drop music. The episode keeps its loose, reactive pace all the way through. It ends the same way it starts, with jokes, side comments, and the family checking each other in real time.
