Welcome back to Black Out, where Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap tackle the biggest conversations in business, culture, and relationships. This episode breaks down Leopold Aschenbrenner’s costly mistake against Citadel, Morocco’s migration crisis involving Spain, Kyrie Irving’s apology, the latest Nolan Wells update, and the never-ending debate over the greatest Verzuz battle of all time.

The crew also dives into whether networking begins with the clothes you wear, the viral Queen Naija conversation, whether men who sleep in late are viewed differently, social media etiquette after a breakup, and the role public admiration for others plays in relationships. Expect honest opinions, thought-provoking debates, and practical insights you won’t hear anywhere else.
