Cardi B, Concerts & Comfort Food

Tune in to the full conversation on Dad, Please Podcast

"Yeah, because you know, like i said i'm a huge cardi b fan. i love cardi b. like i said, she could have walked out there, sat on the stage, rapped, and i would have been happy."

Our first Dad, Please podcast—and we definitely started off with a bang. 

We kick things off with some wild Kanye West lore and his latest antics before diving into our week. From a trip to the library (support your local libraries) to a book breakdown of The Secret Lives of Murderers’ Wives—with a full review now live on the blog.

Dad also shares his gaming experience and thoughts while playing before we jump into our Vinyl Spotlight of the Week: Invasion of Privacy by Cardi B. The reason? We went to see her live at the Toyota Center

Released in 2018, Invasion of Privacy became a massive cultural moment and earned Cardi B the Grammy for Best Rap Album—making her the first solo female rapper to win the award. The album blends hip-hop, Latin influences, trap beats, and bold storytelling while featuring hits like:

  • “Bodak Yellow”
  • “I Like It”
  • “Be Careful”
  • “Bartier Cardi”
  • “Drip”

One of the album’s biggest songs, “I Like It,” featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin, became a chart-topping anthem thanks to its energetic Latin-inspired production and unforgettable chorus.

Tune in to hear our favorite songs from the album, whether we got to experience them live at the concert, our thoughts on the performances, and all the chaos that came with the night.

 
 

Dad’s Kitchen Challenge

Dad made a taco soup based off of the four mystery ingredients he was given: carrots, ground beef, garlic, and tortilla chips. Before landing on taco soup, he brainstormed a few other chaotic meal ideas, including: A vegan roasted carrot & garlic tortilla soup using blended roasted carrots, garlic broth, crispy tortilla chip toppings, black beans, and extra spices for flavor. Loaded taco casserole with seasoned ground beef, crushed tortilla chips layered on top, roasted carrots mixed in, and plenty of melted cheese. Garlic beef nacho skillet featuring crispy tortilla chips topped with ground beef, sautéed carrots, garlic, and taco seasoning. Stuffed bell peppers with a beef-and-carrot filling topped with crushed tortilla chips for crunch. Did taco soup end up being the best choice? Listen to the episode to hear the full kitchen chaos, Dad’s questionable cooking methods, and the final taste test results.

The Concert

The Cardi B concert was absolutely amazing—such a perfect way to kick off our first concert of the year! Read our full Cardi B concert blog, and don’t forget to tune in to the Dad, Please podcast to hear all our thoughts and reactions.

Grab a bowl and join us for one of our coziest — and most chaotic — episodes yet on Dad, Please

This week, we dive into our favorite types of soup while tackling some truly controversial soup debates… including the age-old question: Is chili actually a soup? Expect strong opinions, unexpected rankings, and plenty of soup slander.

Then it’s time for our signature Chopped-style challenge, where Dad is given a mystery basket featuring:

  • carrots
  • ground beef
  • garlic
  • tortilla chips

(And yes… he absolutely bends the rules. No, he does not stick to 30 minutes.)

Using the ingredients, Dad creates a hearty taco soup that honestly turned out way better than expected. Want to know how he pulled it off? You’ll have to listen to the episode to hear the full process, kitchen chaos, and whether the dish survived the taste test. Spoiler alert: the taco soup was delicious and surprisingly fun to make. 

After our soup era, we switch gears into pop culture and debate whether Cardi B’s personality, charisma, and stage presence would have made her a massive star in the ‘90s or early 2000s music scene. Would she dominate MTV? TRL? Award shows? We break it all down.

To wrap up the episode, we finish with a chaotic blind ranking of Cardi B songs and, naturally, a classic Dad joke to send everyone off.
