Inspired by the set design for Big Tigger\u2019s \u201cRap City: The Basement\u201d show on BET, Cudi wanted to fill his podcast set with items that reflect his personality and energy. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love that set,\u201d he says. \u201cThere was this theme where all the guests kind played along like they were really coming to his mom\u2019s house and it was so cool,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n<p>Before filming his first episode, Cudi binged several podcasts and tapped people like writer, producer and actor Lena Waithe, whose guidance helped him navigate hosting and connect authentically with his guests. And of course, he created the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bvn9CT5fsO0\" target=\"_blank\">catchy jingle<\/a> for the show himself, which includes the lyrics \u201c<i>Big bro \/ chillin with big bro<\/i>\u201d in his signature flow. <\/p>\n<div class=\"enhancement\" data-click=\"enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-enhancement\" data-video-disable-history=\"\">\n<div class=\"video-enhancement-player\">  <ps-youtubeplayer data-video-player=\"\" class=\"youtube-video-player video-player youtube-video-player-facade\" data-player-id=\"f63d374f1a773413787bcc06415bb571a\" data-video-id=\"bvn9CT5fsO0\" data-video-title=\"Kid Cudi Launches New Show \ud83d\ude80 | Big Bro\" data-slot-name=\"\/21787098806\/web.latimes\/entertainment-arts\/music\/video\" data-lazy-offset=\"1.0\" data-autoplay-threshold=\"50\" data-miniplayer=\"\" data-internal-video-id=\"bvn9CT5fsO0\" data-ad-slot-name=\"\/21787098806\/web.latimes\/entertainment-arts\/music\/video\" data-ad-provider=\"ima\" data-ima-sdk-url=\"https:\/\/imasdk.googleapis.com\/js\/sdkloader\/ima3.js\" data-ima-ad-tag-url=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ads?sz=640x480&amp;gdfp_req=1&amp;env=vp&amp;output=vast&amp;unviewed_position_start=1&amp;cmsid=2652439&amp;ad_rule=0&amp;plcmt=1\">  <picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi_webp\/bvn9CT5fsO0\/maxresdefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/bvn9CT5fsO0\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/><img id=\"yt-img-bvn9CT5fsO0\" class=\"absolute\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/bvn9CT5fsO0\/hqdefault.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/> <\/picture> <button type=\"button\" class=\"youtube-video-player-facade-button\" aria-label=\"Play\"> <svg class=\"icon\"><use xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/styleguide\/assets\/misc-icons.svg#icon-youtube-play\"\/><\/svg> <\/button>      <\/ps-youtubeplayer> <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Each week, Cudi will sit down with a mix of unexpected guests for wide-ranging, playful conversations that uncover new sides of both his guests and himself.
