'The Reed' Starring Kid Fury and Crissle
'The Reed' Starring Kid Fury and Crissle
If you were to come across podcast episodes
titled “Butt Fingers”, “U tried it”, or even “The 40 Year-Old Stoner”, what
would be your first perception? A bit ghetto? That is EXACTLY what it would be.
Popular Youtube Guru Kid Fury and journalist Crissle join forces in their
podcast titled ‘The Reed’, established in 2013. Fueled by social media, the podcast
consists of explicit humor with politically incorrect commentary on everyday-life
situations and entertainment breaking news, to also keep the listener updated
on what’s going on. Although some of their opinions may come off harsh and insensitive
to unfamiliar listeners, their opinions are very interesting and may even cause
the listener to think about these issues as well. ‘The Reed’ broadcasts every Wednesday
on their site.
This podcast is by far, the
funniest podcast I’ve ever listened to. Being that I am a fan of the videos Kid
Fury posts on YouTube, I became a regular listener to their podcasts. Being
that Crissle and Kid Fury are to very different individuals, their chemistry is
amazing as they feed onto one another’s energy; it’s relative to hearing two
best friends talking about life opposed to two strangers forced to conduct a
radio show. It’s not as though they allow disagreements to turn into heated arguments,
Kid Fury and Crissle laugh it off and even laugh at each other’s stupidity
(humor). What I admire about this podcast is the order of segments; In one
episode in particular titled “Butt Fingers”, Kid Fury opens the show with a
brief sponsoring advertisement, they both discuss how their day went, Kid Fury
starts a segment titled “Black Excellence”, in which he shows recognition to
black people that have achieved something, then a “Hot Topics” segment (very
similar to Wendy Williams) in which they inform their audience on recent social
media or entertainment news then create a discussion with their opinions, then
end it with fan mail (fans send in emails asking for advice on their issues). I
would love to give more examples on how humorous their discussions are, however
it is too graphic and explicit.
