Ice Cube and Mike Epps are taking their longtime friendship into a weekly podcast. “Listen & Laugh” premieres Friday, November 6th, 2026, with Dr. Dre announced as the first guest and new episodes scheduled for 6 p.m. Eastern.

The show’s November 5th announcement says full video episodes will run on YouTube, with audio available across major podcast platforms. For Baltimore listeners, that makes the debut an early-evening option after the workday, with a choice between watching the hosts together and following the conversation in audio.

The announced guest list stretches across rap, sports and comedy. The Game, Lil Dicky and Benny Blanco are among the music names; Stephen A. Smith, Dana White and Michael Strahan represent sports. Regina King, Katt Williams, Bill Burr and Cedric the Entertainer are also listed. Dates for those later appearances were not specified.

Cube Vision and Blue Jay Partners Holdings subsidiary Shark Infested Waters Productions are producing the series. In the announcement, both hosts describe wanting space for personal stories and candid exchanges with people they know, with humor running through the conversations.

Apple Podcasts lists the show under Society & Culture, identifies BlueJay Partners as its creator and marks the program explicit. Its official description centers on the pair sitting on a porch with guests, moving between career breakthroughs, personal experiences and cultural debates. The listing’s three-minute trailer also confirms the Friday release schedule.

That setup gives the podcast a clear starting point: two familiar personalities sharing the hosting duties, rather than one interviewer carrying every exchange. The first full episode will provide the test of how that dynamic works over a sustained conversation. This is a launch preview, not a review of the unaired Dr. Dre interview.
