## Resource

Rory and Baby D got around to watching the Michael movie, and share their takes. It’s also List Season, as The New York Times drops their “30 Greatest Living American Songwriters”, with some notable snubs to debate. Consequence (not the rapper) also released their “Top 100 Greatest Vocalists”, featuring some more surprising names and omissions. The guys also react to USA Today’s “Top 25 Basketball Players of All Time” list, and Mal shares some hot takes. Rick Ross and French Montana announce their Verzuz battle, the internet speculates there may be a new Migos album coming soon, and a pair of voicemails lead to a conversation about Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini.  All lines provided by  Hard Rock Bet Visit your nearest Boost Mobile store or https://www.boostmobile.com/promo/25-forever See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
