Ice Cube and Mike Epps have a podcast now. The two launched Listen & Laugh this week, a weekly talk show built on the simplest setup in the world: Craig and Day-Day on a porch, talking to famous people.
The official trailer landed Wednesday on the show’s own YouTube channel, right after Cube and Epps went live with fans to roll it out. There is no script and no desk. The two sit down with big names from music, movies, comedy, sports and culture, and the conversations run from Last Friday stories to first crushes, big breaks and heartbreaks.
“Cube’s gonna make you listen and Epps is gonna make you laugh. And sometimes, it will be the other way around.”

The guest list teased for the show is not small. Dr. Dre, Bill Burr, Dana White, Stephen A. Smith, Cedric the Entertainer, Michael Blackson, Funny Marco, The Game and Cube’s own son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., are all in the mix.
New episodes drop every Friday at 6 PM ET, with the full video on YouTube and the audio everywhere podcasts live. The timing is not an accident. Last Friday finally has a director and is moving toward production, so the pair fans have wanted back together for over two decades now have a standing Friday appointment while the movie gets made.
Twenty five years after Next Friday, the porch got an upgrade. Pull up.
