The Reggie Yates Podcast

Sometimes it’s best to stop, take stock and just shut the F up. When 2020 went left, we had no choice but to press pause... That time has passed. The people have spoken, we listened. We back. So what’s changed? What’s happened since March? Will TRYP ever be the same? There’s a lot to discuss, but how do you cover the longest seven months in one conversation? Press play to find out.

Recorded at Eggslut restaurant, Portobello Road, Notting Hill. This week we continue with part 2 of our 3-part run recorded at Eggslut. While working their way through the menu, Reg, Baba, Owen and Uzo discuss the 'racist raps' complaints made against Dave at this year's Brits. Was his performance really underpinned by racism? Which part of Britain actually made the complaints? How have the Brits responded to being called out for under-representing Black artists? They also discuss the death of US Rap star Popsmoke and the intersection between social media, success in music, street culture and how it's all intertwining to lead to such tragedies. On a lighter note, the boys also confess their first-ever TV presenter crushes and discuss why 1999 was one of the best years for film, ever.

Owen drops a Trap Record, Baba shows off his new 8 pack, Anna does her culture corner thing but might miss the mark, Ankit stays silent but violent, No Selekio, but we’ve got a BIG DEE... And Uzo brings in Badman Billy for Baba to read another few pages. There’s some Long list goodness and somehow reg giggles like a child the whole time. Press play. It’s good for your ears.

This week, Reg is joined by Owen, Baba for a conversation that meanders from selling hoovers door to door to advice for singletons in their mid 30’s. Reg lets it all hang out as the room gets vulnerable… Or Vulnri, Thierry Vulnri. The culture corner delivers as usual even if Anna had to write her intro on her hand. The long list gets tackled with Game Of Thrones praise and rants, Othello comparisons, event TV and the potential end of it. Some of your questions get answered and the Q&A quickly becomes an advice session for Reg and every singleton listening. It all gets a bit emo from nowhere. Put on the kettle, pull up a chair, we’re here all week.

This week Reg is joined by Baba and Uzo. And that's it. Selekio is on the buttons but apart from that, it's an empty room. No Owen, no Israel, no Anna, no Ankit so there's no cameras but that didn't stop us. Starting out as a room unsure of how things work without the full family, normal procedure quickly resumes. In an effort to tackle a mountain of questions as sent in by the ever giving listener, the attempt gets totally sidetracked by a discussion about interracial relationships. Can they survive and what's the difference between empathy and understanding? Pull up a chair, we're here all week.

This week, Reg is joined by Owen, Baba and Uzo for a family dinner at Covent Garden restaurant Din Tai Fung. Dumplings are a plenty as the full team are in attendance. Selekio is back on the buttons, Israel 'The Brand' has returned, Anna is back on second camera and Ankit is at his husky/sexy best. Baba stakes his claim as the alpha Wolf in the room and Uzo arrives late. What happens between these two moments, you'll have to listen to find out. Grab a cuppa, we're here all week.  Reg - @Regyates Owen - @OwenCutts Baba - @Iamcronus Uzo - @Uzooleh Selekio - @officialofei Israel - @israelpeters Anna - @annaisabeljamieson Ankit - @bhattman

This week Reg is joined by usual suspects Owen, Uzo and baba to take your questions. Between audio and quickfire DM questions, the room jumps from serious to fits of laughter. Anna in the Culture corner introduces the room to 'Fengin it', while an honest conversation about failure reveals some untouched corners of the boys lives. Family, relationships, cohabiting and dad jokes are attacked head on as the room rattles through as many questions as humanly possible. All this, plus one of the team gets a beating. A needed beating. Press play and you'll see why. Enjoy the pod people, we always do.      Follow the team online: Reg - @Regyates Owen - @OwenCutts Baba - @Iamcronus Uzo - @Uzooleh Selekio - @officialofei Israel - @israelpeters Anna - @annaisabeljamieson Ankit - @bhattman

This week Reg is joined by Owen, Uzo and Baba. Outside of being so excited to see each other, there's gifts and excessive use the safe word. There's a 'Creep Baba' intervention, Owen gets annoyed about singing in yank accents, the room debates the Lil' Nas X Vs. Country music debate. Owen gets schooled on Thirst Trapping, Uzo surprises the room by bringing along the original Bad Man Billy book he wrote when he was ten. The recent Kevin Hart Netflix Special triggers a debate about going mass and how that affects your core audience. Can an artist go mainstream and stay the same?

This week Reg is joined by Owen, Uzo and Baba. Still deep in their fitness challenge, the boys give an update and Baba explains the increase in his sexy. The boys take your questions via Instagram DM's and we learn that Shredder (Israel) is actually the "He said your mum" guy. Since the last show, Anna in the culture corner learned how to cook Jollof rice from Israel's mum and brought two versions for the boys to try. The 'in room' taste test ensues.... Uzo talks through the time he was 'Voice Fish'd' and MIGHT have another record from his unreleased album to share.

This week Reg, Owen, Uzo and Baba are joined by Melvin Odoom who take your questions as sent via email and social media.

This week, Reg is joined by Owen, Uzo and Baba. Ankit is officially inducted as a member of the team much to Uzo's dismay and the start of the show is massively distracted by Owens live Instagram broadcast. Selekio has a yawn problem and with Shredder on holiday, Anna (in the culture corner) takes charge of the cameras. There's fitness challenge updates, Owen warns us about the Momo challenge and the room discuss the differences felt in schools now because of social media. Lots of questions get thrown around the room, like who was Uzo at school? What did Reg do when left alone at his grandmother's house aged six? What did owen do at that house party? How was Baba so prolific at school? PS. This episode might end with an acoustic performance by Uzo. Might.

This week, Reg, Owen, Baba and Uzo are joined by Jimmy Napes. The music producer shares some of the stories behind the records that changed his career, his history with Owen and what happens when a humble guy finds himself at the Oscars and the Grammys. As ever, Uzo makes us watch his phone and Jimmy explains why you should never smoke with Skrillex. The Michael Jackson documentary was unavoidable and the entire room shares their feelings on what might happen next, as well as what to do when your heroes fall. The boys open up on how things are changing a month into the fitness challenge both internally and at home. It's also a family affair, as Melvin Odoom came along just to hang out and chips in the way only Uncle Mello can.

Today Reg, Owen, Uzo, Baba and the crew are joined by Etta Bond. The Ministry is home to the show and this week, Etta was hosting her album launch party upstairs. After having a dance (yes Uzo was in his socks on the dancefloor) Etta was roped into joining the crew in the basement for this weekends 'Saturday special'. Babba became VERY sexy until he didn't, Uzo became racially triggering while Reg and Owen desperately tried to work out what was going on. It's a saturday, nobody is expecting you to do much, so don't. Pull up a chair, we're here all week.

As one half of Rizzle kicks, Jordan found fame at a young age but explains how he met Reg as a teenager, who he was before the group and who he's grown into. The reality of dealing with fame at a young age and the pitfalls of being known before knowing yourself.

This week, Reggie Owen, Uzo and Baba are joined by comedian Dane Baptiste. WARNING; This episode is chaos. There was something in the water and somehow some current affairs were covered. From bad Jamaican accents from Little Mix and new photographer Ankit's probationary Jamaican, the "whats off limit in comedy" conversation begins. The room dives in on Gucci, Floyd mayweather, dapper dan and the fallout of the blackface sweater. At the time of recording, the Jussie Smollett story hadn't fully developed and the room discuss the case BEFORE he was arrested. The Aladdin trailer rages a debate about Will smith and how to actually pronounce Aladdin, Baba has a wearable surprise for Uzo, and Carlton from The Fresh Prince's famous dance makes the room slightly upset. It's another nutty night in the studio and somehow we remembered to press record.

Mav talks Jorja Smith, musical influences, backstage at a Game gig and everything in between. Reg shares his first UK Garage lyrics, Owen shares what surprise filled his on tour dressing room and appropriately the room shows no sympathy.

This week Reg, Owen, Uzo and Baba's weekly catch up slips into the strange and unique world of Uzo who spent time this week as a nude model, Owen shares the time he was chatted up by a spice girl, Baba compares his mother to a Prius and an unhealthily long debate rages over the lyrics to the Ferris Bueller theme tune. Things get a little less silly as the boys get into R Kelly and the Bezos divorce but as ever, 'Shredder' and the 'Culture Corner' provide decent perspective on whats being thrown around the room.    This weeks PSA's include the following: Bros: After The Screaming Stops  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001qyv Friends From College https://www.netflix.com/title/80117485 Samurai Champloo https://www.netflix.com/watch/70213065?source=35 BILL BURR Tickets https://www.viagogo.co.uk

This week Reg and the boys are joined by Twin B of Atlantic records and 1xtra. Beyond Reg battling with trapped wind the entire time, the conversation somehow extends to the importance of Bow (in East London) to British music. Through detailing his history and building of seminal The Split Mic's mixtape, Twin talks the beginnings of Grime and how kids from Council estates across the city inspired a new generation of music makers. 

After a short break over the holidays, Reg, Owen, Uzo and Baba are back. The boys are clearly far too excited to be in the same room and the cackles are there to prove it. Reg goes hard on the Ghana Tourist board promo, Uzo does the exact opposite for Mexico, Israel on the camera grew muscles on his muscles and Anna (Also on the camera) opened up her culture corner for all manner of culture related conversation. Its good to be back - REMEMBER - PT Suggestions for the boys on PODCAST@ REGGIEYATES.COM

This week Reggie, Owen and Baba catch up after Reg’s extended ten week shoot in China. It’s all things festive as gifts are given, prank calls are made and Uzo calls in from somewhere exotic. This episode contains a healthy amount of confused Pat Sharp on the phone and excited gift opening. You have been warned. Merry Christmas you filthy Animals. 

This week, with Reg still shooting in China and last week's 'getting to know you' episode with the boys, the DM's have spoken. Reg's inbox was inundated with messages requesting the same thing with him. So off the back of appearing on the brilliant Rob Moore podcast 'Disruptive Entrepreneur' This is what happened in that conversation. It's an in depth chat covering everything from becoming a mentor, self belief and self awareness to how much moisturiser Reg is wearing. Get comfy and finally get to know Reg that little bit better. For more on Rob's show The Disruptive Entrepreneur, jump on Stitcher, iTunes and Youtube.

This Week, Reg is in Hong Kong but joined by Owen, Uzo and Baba in London. Somehow, they've come together for an international episode where Reg is in his 'business' hotel room bed and the boys are doing an awful job of helping Owen babysit at home. Once the boys are all caught up, Reg initiates a game allowing the boys to get to know each other better in his absence. The game is two truths and a lie and the results are a mess. Enjoy, we're here all week!

This week, Reg is joined by Owen, Baba and Basma Khalifa to talk identity, mentoring and all things London. With her formative years spent in several cities, Basma's take on the capital is almost as unique as her accent. As a result, we learn even more about the boys past and possible futures as parents. Get the kettle on, we're here all week.

This week Reg is joined by Baba A.K.A Cronus, Kevin and personal trainer/nutritional expert Coupe. As a plant based, calisthenics expert, Coup shares his story and his take on everything body based from diet to childbirth.

Why did Coupe deliver his own child at home? Why shouldn't we drink tap water? Get a comfy seat and a cuppa, we're here all week!

This week Reggie is joined by Owen, Uzo and Baba AKA Cronus for a recap of the first Pod Party. It was a night where the entire team let their hair down, the boys DJ'd together and Shoeless Uzo became a dancing hype man. There's stories from the night, clips of the biggest tunes and a few slightly drunk revellers thrown in for good measure. 

This week, Reg, Owen, Uzo and Baba decide to get in the Halloween spirit by donning some fancy dress. Things take a turn when Uzo reveals his ‘costume’ but somehow, order is retained.  As this is the Halloween special, the decision was made to switch things up and enjoy a scary movie with you the listener, in a special ‘watch along’ while the guys deliver the commentary.  So fire up your Netflix account, hit play on cue and join in on the watch along as this weeks pod is a Halloween flavoured participation episode that works with the chosen movie, but is just as left of centre on its own.  What’s the movie, what did the guys wear? Listen now to find out. Pull up a chair, We’re here all week! 

This weeks episode is a unique one in so many ways... FULL DISCLOSURE - This week, our audio was totally corrupted BUT, with the conversation being so strong, we were able to salvage the episode from our camcorder mics at a much lower quality. Regardless, the conversation that is episode 11 is one we're proud to share. Reg is joined by Baba A.K.A Cronus, Kevin and special guest Mim Shaikh. Mim is in the middle of arguably the biggest week of his career with his first BBC One drama and his first BBC Three documentary airing at the same time. We discuss the issues raised in the documentary 'Finding Dad', the pressures of being one of the few Pakistani faces on British screens and the importance of the relationship between father and son... And Owen Cutts leaves a voice note. We may not sound the same, but its that usual level of podcast goodness. So pull up a chair, we're here all week!

This week Reg is Joined by Owen, Uzo and Baba for quite literally a game of two halves. This episode begins in (the now familiar territory of) silliness, as Bill Cosby's hot dog bun attack and Jackson talk serve as the opener. Things take a somber turn as the subject of World Mental Health Day arises and an open discussion begins on how the entire group deal with their own personal battles. Apologies in advance for the singing... There's copious amounts of auto tune used, so at least you can't complain about the key. Tell a friend, we're here all week!

This week Reg is joined by Owen and we welcome back Kevin Mcpherson AKA Clav from the Talk stew days. Special guest this week is Kojey Radical who talks through his latest project WATER and so much more. Kojey opens up on everything from seeing how gentrification has changed where he grew up in east London, to the complications of being a third culture kid and the art created as a result.    The uncomfortable but essential conversation of juggling creative integrity while finding commercial success, mental health in men and everything in between gets unpacked this week.    Plus Owen might just debut his freestyle spoken word poetry slam bars. Pull up a chair, we’re here ALLLLLLL week! 

This week Reg is joined by Owen, Cronos A.K.A Baba & UKG legend Spoony of the Dreem Teem. As teenagers, the boys grew up as fans of the scene and did everything they could to be involved. From sharing decks, to school survival as a teenager, the conversation (as usual) spins out throughout. Spoony explains how his area influenced his love of DJing and drops so many gems about the early days of Ayia Napa and UKG full stop. Enjoy! We're here all week! 

This week Reg is joined by Owen, Cronos and football legend Andy Cole. With a history at 12 clubs including Arsenal, Man Utd and Man City, Andy is still one of the highest goal scorers in Premier League history. Covering everything from his years as a teenager in the Arsenal first team, tunnel punch ups, why Ian Wright referred to himself as the "Tunnel Man" to his recent life saving transplant & operation. This is not a football podcast, this is a conversation with a man who grew up in a rapidly changing business under the brightest of floodlights. 

This week Reg is joined by Owen, Uzo and Cronos (AKA Baba) for a series of Instagram questions especially written for Owen. The Q&A takes many a strange turn including a Bone Thugs And Harmony "Crossroads" rendition, Uzo's burning man experience and Baba's Hologram freak out. The Autotune mics are unfortunately back, allowing for Scher and T Pain to make their RYP debut. You have been warned...

This week Reg, Owen and Cronos chew the fat with car customiser and Youtube star Yianni of Yiannimize. From first car stories to his first time at the Arsenal player car park, Yianni opens up on his business beginnings and the importance of branding. Meanwhile, everything from Gunnersaurus, Jedward, mums showing up at school and creepy driving advice from parents gets discussed. 

This week, Reg is joined by Shoeless Uzo and producer/DJ/Real Player user Cronus. The Black Milk Tray Man a.k.a Uzo has managed to build quite the mystique in the last few weeks and the Instagram questions directed his way have been stacking up. Yes, he still isn't showing his face but his toes are out. Turn it up, as this week we learn far more than expected about Uzo, Cronus and Reg tells an awkward condom story. FYI - This episode starts and ends with excessive use of echo and autotune. 

This week Reg is joined by friends shoeless Uzo and music producer Cronos. We learn a little more about Cronos' relationship with his hairline and Reg and Uzo's obsession with Thandie Newton. Aml Ameen, star of Idris Elba's directorial debut Yardie drops by to discuss his journey as an actor. From everything changing as a teenager in Kidulthood, to being a working Hollywood actor and now going full method as Jamaican D in the movie Yardie.
