Episode 18 – “40 & Still Outside” | The AstonishinglyODD Podcast
In this episode of The AstonishinglyODD Podcast, Astonish, Javy (aka Javito), and Reap (aka The Reapster) reunite to unpack their eventful weeks, dive into pop culture hot topics, and share personal stories with their signature blend of insight and humor.
Javy (aka Javito) kicks things off with a glowing review of the film Sinners, praising its bluesy soundtrack, post-slavery themes, and inclusive casting — calling it an instant classic. He also recaps a busy weekend at Wicker Park Fest and a birthday party.
Reap (aka The Reapster) opens up about a life-changing switch in medication that’s helped relieve chronic pain and sparked noticeable weight loss. He reflects on the challenge of playing soccer with younger talent and shares that his son recently quit the sport.
Astonish celebrates his milestone 40th birthday, recounting a romantic dinner at Maple & Ash and a family celebration arranged by his girlfriend. He also details a wild night at the Cash Money 30th Anniversary Concert with Q, featuring performances by State Property, The LOX, Juvenile, BG, and Birdman — plus hilarious run-ins with a parking scam and local hustlers.
The crew dives into current events, including:
The reported death of Ozzy OsbourneHulk Hogan’s ongoing racist controversyQuinton “Rampage” Jackson’s chaotic livestream behaviorJada Pinkett Smith’s new takes on the Will Smith/Chris Rock slap
They debate Will Smith’s Lyrical Lemonade freestyle and whether Ma$e still has bars. A conversation on the decline of modern R&B leads to a harsh critique of Justin Timberlake’s recent performance.
They also examine the controversial “Return to the Land” community, ask whether Jerry Jones is racist, and break down the Joyner Lucas vs. Skepta rap battle — siding with Joyner’s lyrical venom.
To wrap things up, they question if clubbing after 40 is still a vibe, then share their childhood fears and superstitions in the fan-favorite “Kid Again” segment. Shoutouts go to Papi Beatz, and there’s a teaser for upcoming guests.
