1. Relationships and Platonic Friendships

The episode kicks off with Rory and Mall delving into the complexities of maintaining platonic friendships with attractive individuals while in a committed relationship. Rory emphasizes the importance of trust and clear boundaries:

Rory [04:04]: "But I have healthy, platonic relationships with women."

Mall challenges Rory's perspective, suggesting that having attractive female friends can lead to insecurities within a relationship:

Mall [05:44]: "It's an attractive woman or attractive man cooking for your significant other and you're not there. Cooking is very intimate."

The discussion highlights the fine line between friendship and potential romantic entanglements, with both hosts debating whether such friendships inherently pose a threat to committed relationships.

2. Social Issues: Mental Health and Homelessness

Damaris shares a poignant experience of encountering a deceased individual on the streets, sparking a conversation about societal apathy towards homelessness and mental health crises:

Damaris [20:36]: "We walked by. We were like, this isn't normal. Like, we were, you know, to having a couple beers. We're walking by to our friend's apartment. We were like, this is crazy."

Rory criticizes the delayed response of authorities, emphasizing the helplessness felt in such situations:

Rory [21:03]: "The dose had already overdosed."

The hosts reflect on the inadequacies of social support systems and the stigmatization of those in need, underscoring the broader implications for community health and compassion.

3. Cultural Commentary: Eric Adams and Politics

A significant portion of the episode focuses on New York City's Mayor, Eric Adams. Rory and Mall critique Adams' public appearances and perceived lack of professionalism, particularly referencing his appearance on the podcast "Drink Champs":

Mall [14:43]: "They let certain ones, you know, because they generate so much for the sport."

Rory expresses concern over Adams' priorities, suggesting that his public behavior negatively impacts his political standing:

Rory [17:20]: "I feel like fucking your girlfriend to party next door is a little crazy."

The conversation underscores the intersection of politics and personal conduct, questioning how leaders balance public responsibilities with personal freedoms.

4. Music and Pop Culture

The hosts transition to discussing recent music releases, focusing on Sinead Harnett's album "Boundaries" and PartyNextDoor's latest project, "P4." They analyze the thematic elements of love and toxicity in modern music:

Rory [31:08]: "Boundaries sounds cliche. She takes you on a journey as an adult trying to date right now."

Mall and Damaris debate the appeal of negative versus positive music, with Mall advocating for the authenticity and relatability of chaotic narratives:

Mall [41:49]: "Somebody posted a meme that said R&B music ain't good no more."

The discussion highlights a broader cultural trend where tumultuous relationships and personal struggles often receive more attention and acclaim in the music industry.

5. Sports Talk

Shifting gears, Rory and the team discuss the current NBA playoffs, expressing opinions on teams like the Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the New York Knicks:

Mall [85:27]: "Shout out to Julius, my guy. He's still rehabbing."

They examine team performances, player dynamics, and potential outcomes, particularly focusing on star players like Kyrie Irving and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The conversation reflects their passion for basketball and the intricacies of playoff strategies.

6. Voicemails and Listener Engagement

In the latter half of the episode, the hosts engage with listener voicemails. A common theme revolves around the hypothetical scenario of cleaning one's living space under time constraints to impress a romantic interest:

Mall [67:30]: "She in your area, trying to come through. She got a bottle, she got weed, she got whatever."

The group humorously debates the best room to clean—kitchen versus living room—to maximize appeal, offering playful banter and personal anecdotes:

Rory [70:37]: "A lot of people do that."

This segment adds a relatable and interactive element to the podcast, fostering a sense of community and shared experiences among listeners.

7. Personal Plans and Closing Remarks

Towards the end, the hosts share personal updates, including birthday celebrations and travel plans:

Rory [90:17]: "So out to Mexico tomorrow. And it should be fun."

They also touch upon past experiences and friendships, reinforcing the camaraderie among the hosts. The episode concludes with well-wishes and anticipations of future interactions:

Mall [84:15]: "Shout out to the Mavericks. Kyrie played a great game."

[Mall]

Oh, going to get tweezers. Look at.

[Damaris]

Look at Dr. Rory.

I would have sucked that out her.

[Rory]

Heel like a snake bite.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah. I'm one of them. At 22, I'd be like, let me see that. I'd have sucked that. Go get a tweezer, man. Put your foot in my mouth, man. We not going nowhere. Tweezer. Tweezer ain't never got a. Ain't never came out with a tweeze in his hands. Like, girl, I gotta this.

[Julian]

No worrying now.

[Damaris]

I shouldn't even be outside. I got somebody inside waiting on me.

[Rory]

And I'm playing with their emotions.

[Mall]

Emotions.

[Rory]

Sorry, but I'm outside tonight.

[Mall]

What's going on, man?

[Rory]

Taurus season. Can't. Can you feel it?

[Mall]

Taurus.

[Rory]

Move over, Aries. It's Taurus time. Isn't that what you're supposed to say?

[Mall]

It's your birthday, right? Your birthday's.

[Rory]

Yeah, it's coming up this week.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your birthday's coming.

[Rory]

You can't feel the tourist season.

[Mall]

I don't know what tourist season feels like.

[Rory]

Neither do I. That spring, I guess.

[Mall]

Okay, so then, yeah, I feel. I feel the tourist season.

[Rory]

If that means spring about to be my birthday month.

[Mall]

Spring has sprung.

[Rory]

The whole month is mine.

[Mall]

The whole month?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Men don't get the whole month. You get couple hours, dinner, maybe some. A blowy in, and that's it.

[Damaris]

And you got to pay.

[Rory]

I never want to get.

[Mall]

Yeah, and the blowy.

[Rory]

I never want to get to that point in my life where head is a birthday gift. That's when I feel like it's officially over. Oh, you can. You can kill me at that point.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I mean, that's better than no birthday gift.

[Rory]

That can't be a gift. Yeah, but you got. If you got head on your birthday and didn't get a birthday present, you didn't get a birthday present.

[Damaris]

That's what I'm saying. It's just you. At least you got head, though.

[Mall]

What do you want for your birthday this year? Besides peace and quiet?

[Rory]

Tax breaks? I don't know. Like, I'm.

[Mall]

Things that really.

[Rory]

I'm a grown man. I don't.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah. Things that are important.

[Rory]

Yeah. What do you want to blow out candles and make a wish?

[Mall]

How many of your wishes came true?

[Rory]

I don't know. I don't even really remember, like, what.

[Mall]

I used to never remember what I wish for. Never.

[Rory]

I mean, of course, for health and happiness.

[Mall]

That's every day.

[Rory]

And world hunger.

[Mall]

Yeah. Yeah. World peace.

[Rory]

I don't think I ever really made a birthday wish.

[Mall]

You just close your eyes and just blow out the candles.

[Rory]

I think I kept my eyes open, too.

[Damaris]

That's sick.

[Mall]

Blowing candles. I would eyes open.

[Damaris]

You put your. You open your eyes.

[Mall]

Well, no, you have to. If it's a bunch of candles, you would have to have your eyes open. Yeah.

[Rory]

You got a candle would close your eyes as adults to blow candles out.

[Damaris]

When you make a wish, you close your eyes.

[Mall]

Oh, please. Closing your eyes for anything as an adult is crazy.

[Rory]

Yeah, I keep my eyes open. When I'm making out, I never close my eyes. Rory, I have a video.

[Julian]

With your eyes closed, blowing out a candle. Yes. It had rainbow sprinkles on it.

[Rory]

Okay, well, I'm also a hypocrite, so there it is.

[Mall]

Big ass.

[Rory]

What do you think I wish for?

[Julian]

For all the people that were in your house to leave your house.

[Rory]

Probably. That's probably true.

[Damaris]

You open your eyes underwater.

[Mall]

Just come true.

[Rory]

Matter of fact, the last, like, great birthday gift I got was a Damaris cooking for me. She hasn't done that in a minute.

[Mall]

Somebody cooking for you was your last best birthday gift?

[Rory]

What was that, like, two or three birthdays ago when you came to the house?

[Julian]

Two years ago.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I had a little party that. That was great to me.

[Mall]

Wifey not like that one.

[Rory]

Damaris cooking.

[Mall]

Anybody cooking for you?

[Rory]

That's not true.

[Mall]

Your wife is cool with that?

[Rory]

I mean, we go to restaurants.

[Mall]

No, I'm just saying. Home cooking.

[Rory]

Yeah. Damaris has cooked for us before.

[Mall]

No, I'm just talking about just for you, not us. See you how you try to throw us in there. You.

[Julian]

It was a party, though. I didn't come and, like, be his personal chef.

[Damaris]

Nah. But she, like, made Rory, like, a specific dish.

[Rory]

That is true. Whatever. That, like angel hair pasta with tomatoes.

[Damaris]

And everything I was trying to stir up actually happened. Nice.

[Rory]

That's the one. That was the gift.

[Mall]

That was the gift.

[Rory]

Yeah, but no, I never want to be with a girl that is insecure. If another woman, like, cooks for you as a friend. That's crazy.

[Mall]

Wait, okay, so you a girl that cooks for you as a friend. Is your girlfriend there?

[Rory]

No.

[Mall]

Oh, you got women fucked up.

[Rory]

But I have healthy, platonic relationships with women.

[Mall]

See, stop right there. I know what you have. It's about convincing your girl about what you have.

[Rory]

Well, we've I mean, I feel like there's been voicemails where we've addressed some of this. As long as you're not sneaking around and like, your girl knows the friend and, like, has met her, I don't think it's a big deal. I'm secure.

[Damaris]

No, no, it doesn't matter what you think. Like, what do you think you matter at all?

[Mall]

Your partner. What is your partner? You think that your partner.

[Rory]

Okay, you guys are going to call me pussy. I've allowed one of her male friends to cook for before when I. When I wasn't there.

[Damaris]

I sell ma.

[Mall]

Hold on. All right, before we go any further, how. How does he look? Do you have his Instagram?

[Damaris]

Does he look like Emilio?

[Rory]

I don't have his Instagram.

[Mall]

So you don't know how he looks?

[Rory]

No, I've met him multiple times.

[Mall]

Is he. Is he a handsome guy?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

And he cooked for your girl, like in your house?

[Rory]

No, in her. Her group.

[Mall]

And you weren't around?

[Rory]

No.

[Mall]

I don't know if we wanted to start the tourist season off like this.

[Rory]

You have to get out of that Internet insecure mind state.

[Mall]

That's not that.

[Rory]

That men and women can't just have platonic friends that have never had any sexual.

[Mall]

I have platonic friends shit.

[Rory]

So I know it's possible and never will.

[Mall]

I know it's possible. I'm talking about if I have a girlfriend, a partner, and then one of my attractive female friends comes over and says, I'm gonna cook for you. I don't know if, you know, if my wifey, if my girl would appreciate that. I don't know if she would be comfortable with that. And I don't know if that's not an insecurity. I just think it's kind of like.

[Rory]

That'S 100% an insecurity.

[Mall]

I don't think it's an insecurity.

[Rory]

Then what is the issue?

[Mall]

It's an attractive woman or attractive man cooking for your significant other and you're not there. Cooking is very intimate. Cooking is very, you know, nurturing for survival, actually. Yeah. Well, you can order out. You can order Uber Eats. Okay, so Friday, somebody actually cooking for you. That's an intimate thing. That's a very, you know, very nurturing thing to do.

[Julian]

So your friends shouldn't nurture you and.

[Mall]

Also, like, not your attractive friends when you have a relationship. And, like, that can be a little sticky.

[Julian]

So then that means they aren't really friends.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

If there's something awkward about me cooking for you just because you Happen to be pretty, then that or attractive, then we shouldn't, we shouldn't be friends. We shouldn't even think about that. When you're really truly friends with somebody like Rory and I don't realize how each other looks like, he's ugly to me, I'm ugly to him. That's just.

[Rory]

It'll always be that far. I think you look nice to them.

[Damaris]

You can be friends with someone and.

[Julian]

Just, just not think, actually think that he's ugly. But it's just like, you don't see that when you see your friends. You see someone so much. Like you're not even like, oh. People point out, like, oh, Rory's hot. And I'm like, is he? Like, you don't even notice that.

[Damaris]

You don't have to like, do that.

[Rory]

She's been friends with this guy since they went to high school together. Like they're actual friends. Like all of a sudden, after 15 years, because he can whip up an omelet, they're going to start.

[Mall]

It happens. You know how many girls watch too much porn? You know how many girls I went to high school with that I was just cool with? And we had sex as like adults, like years.

[Rory]

Yes, I'm saying that happens. But they're, they're friends. He's. He's also in a relationship.

[Damaris]

How good's the omelette? Well, that's the perfect time to cheat. We both got sex.

[Rory]

That is true.

[Mall]

That's.

[Damaris]

That's the off the bat.

[Mall]

I love when you talk and you just like, further, like end up on my side of like the debate.

[Rory]

No, I'm not on your side. I trust him.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Rory]

And I trust their friendship. I don't think that there's anything going on there.

[Mall]

Okay, cool. That's what's up.

[Rory]

And I just think it's weird that because someone happens to be attractive, that means you couldn't just be friends with them.

[Mall]

I know.

[Rory]

Like, nothing happened.

[Mall]

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying having an attractive girl cook for you, that's your friend.

[Julian]

Thanks.

[Mall]

Like, that's like sticky, sticky grounds.

[Rory]

I, I think if that's an issue in your relationship, you are not gonna last. Well, you have a lot more deep rooted.

[Mall]

Two things can be true.

[Rory]

Before that.

[Mall]

Two things can be true.

[Rory]

But then also at that point, like, if you go in with that mind state, she's not, not gonna start like cutting her friends off. There's no real reason for, for her to cut that guy off. He's.

[Mall]

No, no, no. I'm not saying cut him off.

[Rory]

Cool.

[Mall]

I'm not saying trustworthy.

[Rory]

All of a sudden it's like, no, no, stay focused.

[Mall]

I'm not. No, no, no. I'm not saying cut him off. I'm saying at home cooking for you. I'm not saying you can't be friends with him. I'm talking about at home alone, just you two. He's chefing it up. I don't know, fam. That's sticky grounds.

[Damaris]

Then what are you okay with?

[Rory]

I mean, stickier grounds they can do.

[Mall]

They can hang out, you know, do like that. You know, meet at a local bar.

[Julian]

Oh, so he can't come over to the house at all?

[Mall]

Nah la nah. Ain't no. Ain't no attractive gonna be in my girl house.

[Julian]

So if he was ugly would be.

[Mall]

Ugly all the time, but attractive worse. Attractive is worse.

[Julian]

But he was attractive before I met you and I didn't him, so.

[Rory]

Yeah, but all of a sudden she's gonna him.

[Mall]

It happened. Why are you acting like that don't happen?

[Julian]

Yeah, but I. If I've had access to someone's dick for 10 years and then I get in a relationship with you, and then I'm suddenly like, ah, now I want to him. That doesn't like happens though.

[Rory]

And I've never had his risotto.

[Damaris]

Now.

[Rory]

Now I'm looking him way different.

[Mall]

I'm just saying I'm definitely may result. I'm just saying it happens.

[Rory]

I don't even know what he cooked. That's the thing. Because I don't care. I. I don't know. Maybe I'm the secure guy that gets cheated on, but Rory was just happy.

[Julian]

She wasn't calling him, asking what she wants she should eat.

[Mall]

See, that's.

[Rory]

Please go hang out with her.

[Mall]

That's the. See, that's the part of the relationship that I never want to get to. Of what I'm just so like. I don't need like, yeah, go hang out with your attractive male friend. Just leave me alone.

[Damaris]

You keep throwing attractive.

[Mall]

Yeah, why not? If he's. We know I'm secure enough to say if a guy's attractive.

[Damaris]

Like, I mean, they don't look at each other.

[Rory]

That's also not a bad place to be in a relationship. Everyone needs their space. I hope to God everyone's significant other has their own friends and own life.

[Mall]

Oh, for sure.

[Rory]

So that's not at a bad place. Like, I'm not saying please leave me alone and go hang out with a guy that you'd probably fuck. I'M just, you know, go hang out with your friends without me. I don't want to be a part of it. That's your life. I think they're cool, but you should have your own life. The same way I don't want you around every time I hang out with my friends.

[Mall]

Got it. Okay.

[Rory]

But it also takes two people to like. If I have my attractive friend over. Just because she's attractive in cooking doesn't mean she also wants to me, even if I wanted to her.

[Mall]

Who said that?

[Rory]

You?

[Mall]

No, I didn't.

[Rory]

You're saying it's an issue because people could, but it's. Who says my attractive homegirl wants to sleep with me?

[Mall]

Who says she doesn't?

[Rory]

Her.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Rory]

That's why we're friends.

[Mall]

I hear you.

[Julian]

The attractive home girl.

[Rory]

Head is not a birthday gift or a Valentine's Day gift.

[Mall]

Well, I'll take it.

[Rory]

That was the conclusion.

[Mall]

If that's the only thing that was at the store.

[Julian]

I thought y'all said Valentine's Day in a real holiday.

[Rory]

Why?

[Julian]

It can't be a gift if it's not a real holiday. Why? Hey, it can't be a gift.

[Rory]

Your birthdays aren't real holidays.

[Julian]

Technically, my birthday is a national holiday, but if that's.

[Rory]

Banks are open.

[Damaris]

Come on.

[Rory]

On your birthday, everything is open. I went to the post office on your birthday, I mailed anything.

[Mall]

Nothing stops.

[Damaris]

I mailed everything.

[Rory]

He literally no one stops. Like, whoa. Different hours today. Baby D's birthday.

[Mall]

Anyway, I did something. I've been. I've been going to the gym since my friend called me a fat.

[Rory]

Okay, that's good.

[Mall]

Three weeks ago.

[Rory]

Bring. Bring positive shame back.

[Damaris]

You fat. That's fine.

[Mall]

Yeah. I love. Love when my friends call me a fat, but. So I've been doing two a days. I don't know when the last time any of y'all ran, like, full speed. Like, have you ran. When's the last time you ran full speed?

[Rory]

Full speed. It's been a long time.

[Mall]

That shit hurts. It hurts like. Like. And I didn't realize it until I'm on the fucking. The treadmill, and I'm like, fuck it. Let me just try to, like, sprint full out. Yeah, bro, Your feet, ankles, everything is like, whoa, I forgot how to run.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Like, it's insane how, like, when you get out of shape, your body is, like, mentally, you know, the things to do, but it's like, whoa. I never felt that. What is that? I never. My ankle never felt like this before. My feet never felt like this.

[Rory]

Before it's that. And if you are out of shape and go play full court basketball, that will tell you.

[Mall]

Oh, God.

[Rory]

That'll tell you your range of.

[Mall]

Oh, my God.

[Rory]

Of how healthy you are.

[Mall]

Oh, geez.

[Rory]

If you could run a full court game. Yeah, you're in shape.

[Mall]

That's why I have, like, the utmost respect for, like, athletes like that played like a LeBron. Like, 20 years of that jumping, running, cutting, falling.

[Damaris]

Yeah. That's insane.

[Mall]

That's like, yo, how is your body? Like, that's just a testament to saying, all right, this dude just. He knew that I just. If. As long as I keep my body up, I can do this for a very long time.

[Rory]

Steroids.

[Mall]

If you don't play basketball for a year, you might as well forget, like, a year away from basketball.

[Damaris]

Steroids juice them up. I don't give a fuck what you're on. That's still insane.

[Rory]

I'm kind of. I'm a pro steroid guy. We know.

[Damaris]

They're all on these little cocktails.

[Rory]

That was the best, best time in baseball. Like, I. Why can't athletes use steroids?

[Damaris]

They do.

[Rory]

Of course they do. Well, now it's just hidden in different forms.

[Mall]

They let certain ones, you know, because they generate so much for the. But also, like, sport.

[Damaris]

Fine. It's still. If you could. Getting a shot in your ass doesn't mean you automatically put up 35, 10, and 10.

[Mall]

Yeah, you still got to go out there.

[Damaris]

You're still LeBron. Like, that's. That's.

[Mall]

You still have a skill set. Yeah, but that just helps you. You know those fatigue moments where the legs start to give out? You just don't have those anymore.

[Rory]

I could take the highest form of.

[Mall]

Wait, wait, before we go.

[Rory]

I don't want to hit Randy Johnson's curveball.

[Mall]

Yeah, no, I don't want to keep saying, like, LeBron's name attached to this. Like we're trying to insinuate something.

[Rory]

Oh, people have insinuated it.

[Mall]

I'm saying. I'm not insinuating it is what I'm saying. I don't care what people are saying. I'm not insinuating that. Just wanted to make that clear.

[Rory]

I'm on the side.

[Mall]

I think LeBron actually.

[Rory]

Aluminum bats and steroids. Let's lower the hoop. I'm here for entertainment.

[Mall]

No, I don't want no steroids.

[Damaris]

That's the thing. Well, I don't think steroids. People are like, well, steroids is a shortcut. LeBron puts in a lot of work. He Obviously, I Don't think that goes without saying. Like, his workout regimen's insane. The way he eats his train. Like, he does all the work. I think this is. Steroids are just supplementing what nature is trying to do. And he's trying to fight as hard as can against the clock of. Yeah. Father Time. He's like, all right. Like, this is the little bit I need to. To. To really make up for all the work that I'm. I'm doing in the off season. I don't see a problem with it at all.

[Rory]

Nah.

[Damaris]

I really don't. Drake doesn't write his own music. These guys take steroids.

[Mall]

Just go.

[Damaris]

Everyone do their. Do what you do the best at the highest level. Who gives a shit how it gets done?

[Mall]

You really.

[Damaris]

We steal elections. Like, come on. What's really real?

[Rory]

No, it is. That's a perfect comparison between elections and Barry bonds.

[Mall]

Yeah. And LeBron. I like the way he tied that all together. Made a little casserole. I like that casserole.

[Rory]

I mean, listen, Eric Adams would. Would make him legal.

[Mall]

I saw a clip with Eric Adams on a plane, and some lady started yelling at him because he was traveling to, I think, Miami.

[Rory]

I think it was to go do this Drink Champs.

[Mall]

She was like, what are you doing going to Miami? I'm like, the mayor can't go to Miami.

[Rory]

All right. I thought it was fucked up that that woman did just yell at him on a plane. Like, that's crazy.

[Mall]

It's crazy.

[Rory]

I did agree with some of her sentiments, though. I just don't think she did it in the healthiest of ways. Yeah, he was in economy.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Oh, that's nice.

[Rory]

Probably because he blew all his money on bottle service the night before.

[Mall]

Yeah. He looked a little flushed in the face. Look like he was up all night. But apparently, Eric Adams, the mayor. Eric Adams is on a. The new episode of Drink Champs. Do we know when that's coming out?

[Rory]

They put. We're recording this on Monday.

[Mall]

They put out the.

[Rory]

What appears to be a trailer, I guess, today. I don't think there was an actual date, though.

[Damaris]

No, I didn't see a date.

[Julian]

Y'all watching this?

[Mall]

I'm never watching Eric Adams on a podcast.

[Rory]

I mean, I watched his entire Breakfast Club interview, which was a good conversation. I Nori, I get it. I get why you'd want to have Eric Adams on there. It's a good poll. But why?

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

My question to why is to Eric Adams not to drink champs.

[Julian]

You know why.

[Rory]

Why?

[Julian]

He's trying to get back in the good graces of everyone.

[Mall]

It's over for Eric Adams.

[Rory]

I don't know if he was ever in the good graces.

[Julian]

No, but he wasn't as bad as the good.

[Mall]

He wasn't in nobody's good graces. The people do what they always do because he's black. Then every fucking Democrat, black Democrat in New York City go and vote for Eric. Y'all don't know shit about his policies. Y'all don't know about his history. All you know is he used to be a cop and y'all felt like he was the right one for the job. Admittedly, maybe me too. Maybe I felt like that too, at one point. But that just goes to show you that sometimes we just get behind these people just because of the fact that they look like us. That don't mean they for us. And that don't mean they're gonna help us. And that doesn't mean that they're right for us. But Eric Adams has. And it's not just him, you know, he is the mayor, so a lot of it falls on him. But since he's been in office, New York City has definitely spiraled into fucking hell. The city is fucked up. Bunch of problems everywhere. Again, it's not just on him. It's a lot of policies and laws that he has to abide by. But when you're the mayor, a lot of that shit falls on you.

[Rory]

So, I mean, I'm still of the belief that there should be good optics in politics, because you are working for the people. And yes, we do want a good perception. And the perception is right now you just go to the club with French Montana, you avoid questions on the Breakfast Club, and now we're gonna watch you drink in Miami.

[Mall]

Well, no, you know, he's gonna tell Nori. Well, I can't drink, but I think.

[Rory]

He'S gonna take a shot on air. I don't think.

[Mall]

There's no way. There's no way.

[Rory]

He's in the club every weekend in New York.

[Mall]

All right, well, show me him drinking in the club every weekend.

[Rory]

Oh, I'm sure he has somebody next to him making sure that no one takes photos or video of him drinking.

[Mall]

Right. That's what I'm saying. He's not taking a shot.

[Rory]

He looks like he orders makers on Drink champs.

[Damaris]

Nah.

[Mall]

Hennessy.

[Julian]

Not even Doucet Hennessy.

[Mall]

He's definitely a whiskey drinker. For sure.

[Rory]

Absolutely.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

It's a 24 hour city, guys.

[Mall]

It is. It's 24 hours.

[Damaris]

That was his defense on why he goes out?

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Is that really what he's at?

[Mall]

Yeah. Oh, my God. It's a 24 hour city. You didn't know that?

[Damaris]

What do you think? I'm gonna go to bed.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah. No, everything's still open.

[Damaris]

Shut up. I'm going to little sister.

[Mall]

Then I'm gonna stop at Chelsea's diner and get a greasy burger.

[Damaris]

He's 62. Go to bed. Be a mayor.

[Rory]

Yeah. Like was. Was he always like this when he was a cop? Was he just.

[Mall]

No. Now he.

[Rory]

Was he in the tunnel.

[Mall]

He has access to funds now.

[Rory]

You mean my tax money?

[Mall]

Exactly. He has access to funds. Is his bottle service is on us whether we like it or not.

[Damaris]

He said this is a 9 to 5 city in the city that never sleeps. So the mayor should not be taking naps. There's a difference between nap and just.

[Rory]

Going and going to the club.

[Mall]

How much I want to bet that when he's done with his mayor. Mayor duties, mayorship, how much I want to bet that he has a podcast.

[Rory]

I think he might have a podcast before he leaves office.

[Mall]

Well, he's definitely going to have one as soon as he leaves office. 100%. The same dudes that he's running around, hanging out with, exchanging phone numbers, these are all going to be guys that he interviews on this podcast.

[Rory]

God, I hope not.

[Mall]

What, you don't see it?

[Rory]

I mean, I just feel like it's clear as day after you have that terrible interview with the Breakfast Club on his bath of dodging everything who is doing his pr, that the next move is like, well, let's just go do drink champs.

[Mall]

Who's going to.

[Rory]

Who is behind his pr?

[Julian]

Somebody who should have never had him do. They should have never allowed that lady to come on Breakfast Club and interview him anyway. There's no way he knew she was coming.

[Rory]

Yeah, I don't. I don't think he did.

[Damaris]

And I mean, he's not gonna get challenged at drink champs. They're just gonna take shots and go like. That's the whole show.

[Julian]

Clap. Oh my God, that clap was so realistic.

[Damaris]

That's it. Yeah.

[Rory]

I mean, I. Nori should ask about stopping frisk during like peak, early 2000s hip hop, because that's what he was doing.

[Mall]

Do we think Nori's gonna ask those type of questions?

[Damaris]

No, no.

[Rory]

And I wouldn't expect Nori too. That's not a fault to Nori. That's not his thing. I'm just. I think it's a slap in the face to New York City from A PR perspective that you are just going on this press run of. Of nonsense.

[Damaris]

But anyway, I saw a dead body in the street the other day. That was fun.

[Mall]

You saw a dead body?

[Damaris]

It was, you know, like, the.

[Mall]

Probably was hungover and sleep.

[Damaris]

No, you know, like the fentanyl. Like, the lean and shit. But this guy was like. Face. He's, like, in the pavement. Like, he looked dead. And then I walked by with my friends. We were like, did you check his pulse? Hell, no. Not touching his ass.

[Mall]

We were.

[Damaris]

We walked by. We were like, this isn't normal. Like, we were, you know, to having a. We just came from having a couple beers. We're walking by to our friend's apartment. We were like, this is crazy. Like, this is. That guy might have been dead.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

We were just like, yeah, just New York. Let's go up there and smoke a cigarette.

[Mall]

This guy might need medical attention. And we just walk right past.

[Damaris]

There's not a care in the world.

[Mall]

There's nothing more in New York. It's just. What do you. What a.

[Damaris]

What do you want us to do? And B, like, I. There was one time I called the cops. I saw someone overdosing, and I was like, well, this is happening in front of my face. I feel obligated.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

There was, like, him and three other homeless friends, and they were just like, call the cops.

[Rory]

I was like, all right, I'm sure. They showed up promptly three hours later when he.

[Damaris]

Yeah, they.

[Rory]

The dose had already overed.

[Damaris]

The cops are like. They were, like, mad that I called. They were like, well, why isn't one of his. I was like, well, they're homeless. They don't have phones. They're like, do you have. What's your relationship with the guy? I was like, I'm watching him as sees on the ground. I don't know where you want me. Ask him for his name. There's foam coming out of his fucking mouth. Get here. Like, I gave you the address. I told you where I'm at. Like, pull off.

[Rory]

And if you have a relationship, you're a shitty friend. Why is your friend homeless in the street guy?

[Mall]

And who did he vote for?

[Damaris]

They were mad that I was, like, interfering with whatever. Like, they're like, let nature play with God.

[Mall]

Like, let God take him if he. If he's called.

[Julian]

Do y'all believe in that? Like, survival of the fittest? Do y'all believe in that? Like, because that's, like, a lifestyle that some people live by. Like, some people just. It happened. It was a conversation that was Happening a lot during COVID when some people were dying from coven and they were just like, yeah, survival would have fittest. Like, whoever has the best genes is.

[Damaris]

Who'S to carry on yolo.

[Mall]

That was sick. Survival of the fittest during COVID I mean.

[Rory]

Survival of the fittest to survival of the smartest and privileged. It's not really survival of the fittest anymore, because if that was the case, all our politicians would probably be dead.

[Damaris]

And all the gingers.

[Rory]

That too. Because we are a genetic mistake that can't fight off viruses. But no, survival the fittest has been gone.

[Damaris]

Yeah. That Darwinism, that's. That's out that it's all about access and resources. And if you can. If you can pay for it, everything's cool.

[Rory]

Yeah. Speaking of immigrants, I brought Amara and Kia to family members house yesterday. So, like, you know, see some of the family play with some kids or whatever. And I'll speak for all progressive white people. We all have a certain side of our family that can take things a little too far when certain things.

[Mall]

Oh, yeah, I love that side of.

[Rory]

The family get brought up.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And, you know, Kia comes from an extremely progressive household. Like, very, very Democrat, very much hippie type of shit. Me, not so much Irish Democrats, but Irish Democrats probably look like Republicans to the far left. I had to get us out of there, like, on a dime. Once the beer started flowing a bit, and then the immigrant topic came up, I was like, yeah, I think it's. You don't. You don't need to hear this out of my family.

[Mall]

Why not? That's the best part. That's like leaving before dessert. You don't want to do that.

[Rory]

Once I heard the yelling in the backyard, and I was like, oh, immigrants. Yeah, I bet we're gonna get out of here.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, this is it. This is. That's when I want to stay. See, that's when you're supposed to call me. Like, I'll pull up at that time for that conversation. I want to hear what people are saying in their homes about the immigrant situation in New York.

[Rory]

And then there was. There was something happened with immigrants from Venezuela recently in New York. I forgot the exact story, but that's what they were talking about. And once they started calling them Mexicans, I was like, oh, getting in the car now.

[Mall]

No, no, see, that's. That's a little. That's different. You can't. You can't miscategorize people. Like, that's like calling when you are.

[Rory]

White, Irish and Italian and from New York and New Jersey. Yes, you can.

[Julian]

That's all you. That's what you're.

[Rory]

Everybody that's Spanish is Mexican in their eyes.

[Mall]

Yeah. I mean, I hate it, but I love it at the same time.

[Rory]

They're all great people. They just were not taught the skills. They're from an era.

[Mall]

They come from a. They're a product of their environment.

[Rory]

Yeah, but they're not racist. They're.

[Mall]

The times they would come.

[Damaris]

They're racist. I'll give some pushback.

[Rory]

They're not racist. Everyone.

[Damaris]

Everyone. Everyone hits it. Everyone does that.

[Julian]

Do they know? Like, they. They're aware. Kia's like, no, she went to Italy.

[Damaris]

She's went to Italy one summer and got a good pan.

[Mall]

Yeah, that's it. Yeah.

[Damaris]

She's Sicilian.

[Mall]

She's Sicilian. I know Sicilian when I see one. She's Sicilian.

[Rory]

No, they. They love somebody like Kia to be around, because then that gives them the excuse for, like, when someone is like. Or prejudice. They're like, nah, we got Kia.

[Mall]

Yeah, it's like a draft.

[Damaris]

Yeah, we got.

[Mall]

Look who we drafted. Yeah, like, look who we drafted. Are you kidding me?

[Julian]

Oh, they're definite out. That a quarter room? For sure.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

It's. It's always a very stressful time bringing new people around your family. I feel like a lot of the white people on Twitter try to lie and pretend. Like all their parents, aunts, uncles, everybody is just amazing. And they're like, the good white people. And. Nah, y'all. Y'all have these aunts and uncles.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Don't fucking lie.

[Mall]

Yeah. I don't like when people are, like, overly, like, sensitive when they, like, see or hear some racist shit.

[Damaris]

Ah, shit. Pisses me off.

[Mall]

I'm just like, bro, like. Like, racism is terrible, but at the same time, I think that there's some funny shit that happens when you realize how ignorant some people are. It's like, wait, you still exist. People like, you still are walking around in 2024 with this mindset in New York City. In New York City. I'm like, yo, this is. To me, that's like, I should appreciate bumping into something like that. Like, I didn't even know these were still around. It's like, wait, oh, you're still outside actively moving around with this mindset.

[Damaris]

Oh, my biggest thing is when someone. Someone we overhear see something racist happen, and it's something that should offend me as the. Usually the person of color, whatever, but it's always the. The white person that's always like, way more up in Arms like, oh, I just can't. I'm like, are you doing. It's a performative thing. You're doing it because I'm with you.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I don't care.

[Mall]

Right?

[Damaris]

Because this. This is just. This is life. Shit happens. Like, what do you want me to do? If I got beat up, like, how you're feeling over this, my. I would be dead. My life would be destroyed. Stop doing this act because you think I should care about what's going on?

[Julian]

It doesn't make you a better.

[Damaris]

Doesn't make you. It makes me hate you more.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Julian]

They think it makes them a good person. It doesn't make you a good person. You're just actually making me uncomfortable, so please stop.

[Mall]

I've been a slave to this party album all weekend.

[Rory]

Pause.

[Mall]

I've been a slave to the party. I just.

[Rory]

I don't know. Feels. Feels like a pause.

[Mall]

I'm with you. I'm with you. P4 dropped Friday morning, Thursday night, however you want to look at it.

[Rory]

And you had the exclusive, right?

[Mall]

No, I didn't have the exclusive. I got it when everybody else got it. But party did. He did good with this. He did good with this project.

[Rory]

So I was in the house for the entire weekend. For the most part. I like it, but I haven't heard it in a setting that I think it was meant for. I know it sounds like the cop out, but a lot of times party in general, though, I feel like you really need to be around women at a kickback.

[Mall]

You have to either be going through something or going to something.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

You know what I mean? That's what party does.

[Rory]

Or trying to get into something.

[Mall]

Yeah. Like, you got to be going through something or going to something when you listening to parties, especially the P4 series.

[Rory]

What Demarys just said, though, I feel like fucking your girlfriend to party next door is a little crazy.

[Damaris]

Not girlfriend.

[Mall]

Why?

[Julian]

Why not?

[Damaris]

Like, this is like.

[Rory]

I think. I feel like party Next Door is.

[Damaris]

Reserved for, like, side music.

[Rory]

Doesn't have to be side bitch, but like a girl you're talking to or, you know, some. Some hoes from the club party to your. With your girlfriend, like, in your healthy relationship, I think is crazy.

[Mall]

I saw some girl talking about she was having sex with a guy one time because they. They asked her, like, yo, what's the thing a guy has done during sex that completely turned you off? And she said, oh, we were having sex, we were doing it, and he started fucking me to the beat of the song that was playing.

[Damaris]

That's Sick.

[Mall]

And I'm so glad she said that, because that's something that I would have said. Yo, you can't do that. Like, a man is not supposed to do that. You're not supposed to be fucking to the rhythm of the song.

[Rory]

Why not?

[Mall]

Come on, fam.

[Julian]

Can she do it?

[Mall]

Of course. That's the difference. She can do it. I don't care.

[Rory]

What song were they listening to? Jersey club music.

[Mall]

I think she said. I think she said. I think she said. Loving the crew when it's the. That part.

[Damaris]

Oh, my God, I would have thrown up.

[Rory]

If you stroke to that beat and.

[Damaris]

Then, like, when the weekend goes, he does, like, a low, you know?

[Mall]

So when she said that, I understood where she was coming from.

[Rory]

Like, now that's her point.

[Mall]

That's ridiculous for any man to do that.

[Rory]

I thought just like being on rhythm. If you're. Yeah, if you're going to that beat and getting a crazy stroke in for a four count and then stopping. Yeah, you're a cereal.

[Mall]

It's insane.

[Rory]

You're a sir.

[Mall]

You're not supposed to do that. But that goes to. I think we had a conversation before when I was like, I don't even know what's playing in the background. Most of the times when I'm having sex, it's either the TV or just. It may be music on, but it's not like I put that on to have sex. It's like whatever's playing during the moment. Like, I don't know.

[Julian]

I like silence.

[Mall]

Infomercial might be on clapping cheeks. I don't know.

[Rory]

I just. I prefer party. I like music on when you're someone where you're like, we shouldn't even be doing this. Like, this is. This is toxic and crazy. I don't want to, in a healthy way, fuck someone to party next.

[Julian]

Y'all are.

[Rory]

I think it's crazy.

[Julian]

I think y'all are putting too much thought into it. I think if the vibe of the album, not the actual words he's saying, but the vibe is good, then you can have sex with it to anybody. It ain't like y'all listening to the lyrics like, damn, this us.

[Damaris]

Like, because if you were, then you would know, which is why I love this album so much. There's a story that follows throughout the whole thing. He opens it up with the threesome. Such a great intro. I mean, you got me hooked. I'm here.

[Mall]

Best of the best.

[Damaris]

It's a great intro.

[Rory]

Maybe it's my fault as a consumer that I just attach parties Music to toxic choices.

[Mall]

No party music.

[Damaris]

That's okay marketing. That's good marketing.

[Mall]

The guy that pinned it connects it to toxic environments and toxic choices.

[Rory]

So even if I'm not listening to the lyrics per se, just his energy as an artist when it's being played. Yeah, I feel like needs to be in an environment like that. A loving relationship.

[Mall]

Not a happy loving relationship.

[Rory]

No. I feel like we're cursing ourselves here.

[Mall]

No, this is a party. Definitely sets a different type of vibe, you know, whether he's drawn inspiration from what's going on in his real life or situations that he may just be close to. One of my favorite songs on this album is sorry, But I'm Outside. He's basically saying like, yeah, I'm outside. You know, probably doing shit I shouldn't be doing. But I got somebody waiting on me at the house. Like, I got my girl, she's home waiting on me to get back. He has an interlude with the girl, calls him like, hey, I miss you. He's like, yeah, I miss you too. She says, when are you coming home? He's like, I don't know. I'm just like, you don't know? You just go tell Shorty, I don't know what I'm coming. But it's dope though. Like, it's, you know, I mean, it's like because we've all kind of maybe had a relationship or situation like that where it was like, damn, like, I got this person that I love. That's great for me. But I'm out. I'm out here. I'm entertaining different girls. I'm just, you know. Damn, it's six in the morning. Fuck. Like, should we.

[Rory]

Should we check on party next week?

[Damaris]

This verse is so fucking toxic. Sorry. As you were. I pulled up the lyrics.

[Rory]

Always here for a lyric.

[Julian]

Oh, I love a lyric. We'll break.

[Damaris]

Oh my God.

[Mall]

And I understood when he said I might pull up to 40 love with 40 of them. So you complain 40 love is a great sports bar.

[Rory]

It is.

[Mall]

Love it. Watch the fuck if you know I don't love you no, I don't cuff you cold blooded but it's warmer than the oven. Ooh, I know what he talking about that thing be warm and soft When I'm talking about making love with you these bitches want to make sweet love to you too. Damn, it makes me think that breaking up is stupid. Plus you got two foreigns right outside of the crib. Yeah, you're not breaking up with you all right. Yeah.

[Damaris]

You good?

[Mall]

Yeah. We Good. What are we doing? What do y'all do?

[Rory]

Let's stay together based off materialism.

[Mall]

Yeah. You could ride every day. You could ride. You could ride this dick every day that you needed it ain't no secret. See how you ride? Need it with secret. Party's a bad motherfucker. Am I bad if I come back and you won't talk to me? My bad. You told me a couple days ago, you off of me.

[Rory]

They're never my bad when they say that.

[Mall]

Double up on my bad. I know you lying, but I'm making it easier. And I know you find me. I should be home.

[Damaris]

But then he says again, I'm not gonna go home. And I'm playing with their emotions. And then he says, emotions again?

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Like, he's like, yeah, nah, I should do. I should do all that. But that. I'm outside.

[Mall]

Sorry, but I'm outside.

[Rory]

We need to check on. On party. Like, I had that theory a while ago that that future isn't like, this crazy, lean addict. Like, he'd just be doing that for music, and he's probably a pretty healthy guy, I really think. Party lives this life, and he, like, disappears for five years. No one sees him, and then he comes back with the same issues that he continues to go through. Party is so it makes for great music, but I really think someone should check on him because I don't think he lies in his music. I've never seen shock value. I don't think he's gassing it. I'm concerned for his future.

[Julian]

Kehlani told you there was really a smell in the living room, so.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I love that song.

[Mall]

Who's the Living Room? Was it Miss Be Nasty? What smell was it?

[Damaris]

Mall, can you do this first, please?

[Rory]

I don't think that there's no smell to that.

[Damaris]

So this is after. This is after Clean. This is after the intro interlude about him bringing the second girl into the room. This is verse one, and then this is the. This song opens up with verse one. And this is what he says about. He said, hey, with two women, y'all.

[Mall]

Gonna make me lose my mind. Up in here, up in here. Two at one time Couldn't make me choose it if it depended on my life. That's a sick look at.

[Damaris]

Look how high the stakes are.

[Rory]

Look.

[Mall]

But look at the breakdown. One's half Spanish and one's half white.

[Rory]

It's kind of romantic in a. In a threesome type of way, though. I think that's a very beautiful line to say to two women that you're that.

[Mall]

I'm too.

[Rory]

Like. Yeah, I could. I could never. I can't choose one of y'all. Like, this is a group thing.

[Mall]

He said, and my tattoos on her body. Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh. There's no controlling her when she's off that. Who still has Molly. That.

[Damaris]

Thank you.

[Mall]

When she's off that. Molly.

[Rory]

Molly.

[Damaris]

He's not a kid.

[Julian]

Oh, he's 23 year olds. They're still.

[Rory]

Yeah. Did you not listen to this?

[Damaris]

Oh, she's off.

[Rory]

I don't think there was a girl above 25 years old that he talked about.

[Damaris]

Also when he says she's half. One's half Spanish one half white. What's the other half?

[Julian]

Black.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Julian]

Of course.

[Damaris]

Oh, yeah.

[Mall]

What else would it be?

[Damaris]

I don't know. I didn't know that was like, the baseline.

[Mall]

Can't be half white and white.

[Damaris]

No. She could be half white and half Korean.

[Mall]

Like, when have you seen that?

[Damaris]

I dated.

[Mall]

There's a lot. Really?

[Damaris]

Look, That's a. Oh, I like that little hybrid.

[Rory]

Yeah. Jewish men love Asian.

[Damaris]

Good. Like, it's a good look. Now, Jewish, like full.

[Mall]

No, they like full. They don't want no half.

[Damaris]

Too far out.

[Rory]

Do you think this affects his actual personal life at this point? No, because parties, parties. Not old, but, you know, he's getting up there. It's not like this is p and D1 or 2. When you can live this lifestyle, do you think a girl will take him, like, very seriously in a relationship? You think he's equipped for that?

[Damaris]

I mean, when.

[Rory]

Or are you just going to be fudgeing young bitches for the rest of your life? Which, I mean, look at Leo. He looks like he's having a blast. Not saying that's a bad route, but if you ever want to settle down and you have a career that is just based on toxic shit and fucking strange women. Can you really, like, operate in a relationship with a girl that you respect and want a wife?

[Mall]

Of course you can. But you have to be ready for that. You have to be totally at that stage in your life where it's like, I'm done with this shit. Like, I don't want to live like that anymore.

[Julian]

You have to be healed. You have to do some therapy.

[Mall]

Yeah. You got to be all the way. Like, I'm over that. It's over. I'm not living like that. But selfishly, that changes the P and D brand if and when that happens. Like, love, party, great guy. But if he gets in, if he falls in love tomorrow, we would have to expect for P5 to sound totally different from the previous party pack.

[Rory]

Yeah. Which is weird. Cause like Black, for example, I loved his last album, but a lot of the critique of his last album was that he's in such a healthy, great relationship right now. It's showed in the music and that's not what people want from Black.

[Mall]

And that's fucked up.

[Rory]

It's super.

[Julian]

People want, period though, like, like in life, from their artists. Think about it. People always. It's literally a well known thing. Like, it's like, oh, so and so just got their heartbroken next album, about to be Fire. It's like people don't want to hear about love and happiness.

[Mall]

That's crazy to me because the same shit with Future, like what we just said. He doesn't take those drugs. He's not popping those pills. Yeah, we should be glad he's not because he probably wouldn't be with us anymore had he been taking drugs. The way he raps about. Yeah, exactly.

[Damaris]

I know we're talking about hip hop, but I just put it this way. So much of Taylor Swift's music is because of past relationships. We think she's putting up numbers now while she's dating Travis. Wait till they break up.

[Rory]

Oh, I mean, of course that album's.

[Damaris]

Gonna do 5 million first week.

[Rory]

Ariana Grande too. People can't wait till she breaks up with somebody. And I don't want to bring Drake up again. I promise we're not going to go down that route in the game. I forgot what interview he was doing, but he was saying, I'm not in therapy because it would hinder, like what I'm doing in my career right now.

[Mall]

That's crazy.

[Rory]

I can't really heal. I wouldn't be able to do what I do if I heal. Yeah, and I thought that was interesting, but also fucking dark and depressing to hear. Even though he was kind of saying it in a joking way. Yeah, I think he was telling the truth. I'm sure he's been in therapy and is like, man, if I, if I heal, like, nobody really wants to hear the Love Drake album, you know, like in a real healthy relationship. No, we want him to get in a healthy relationship for two weeks and then have it just completely break, fall.

[Mall]

Down, crumble right in front of us. And we could just see his life spiral out of control and then say the next album is going to be amazing.

[Julian]

Do you guys like happy music? I like madly in love music, which is why I always, like, advocate so much for money. Long because she creates music for, like, women who are, like, deadly in love with their man and have been with them for a while. I like music like that. I like music about love.

[Damaris]

That's cute.

[Mall]

I think it has. It has a place, it has a. It definitely is. Is needed because you have a. A lot of people that are there. They're very happy in their relationships. So, yeah, it's. It's necessary. I just think that again, like, mess sells. Like, chaos sells. You look at reality tv, some of the highest rated shows is the trailer, is somebody fighting or somebody doing something? Like, it's just. That's just what, you know, pandemonium and fucking, you know, turmoil and heartbreak and all of that is what people don't want. They don't want that necessarily a part of their lives unless they're absolutely just out of their minds. But, like, if you're in a healthy, happy, loving relationship, your guilty pleasure might be watching people that are in the most toxic, crazy relationships ever. You might sit home and watch that with your partner, be like, yo, these people are fucking sick. Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

I think all those reality shows, the number one consumer is probably happy couples watching 100% people going through similar experiences.

[Damaris]

They'Re made to be watched together. So it's like, oh, look how bad they have it.

[Rory]

But I mean, I think Demarcus to your question, that's more like, of the human condition. Because when we hear more depressing music or shit about chaos, we like it because we feel seen or like, oh, someone else is going through that as well. I can connect to that. I feel like I'm not alone. When you're in a happy relationship and really loving somebody, you don't need music to validate that feeling. You already feel that way, so it's cool to hear that type of stuff. But the depressing shit is going to hit more because that's when you feel alone. It's like, oh, I want to listen to this. Because this person gets me and gets what I'm going through. When I'm in love, I don't need an artist to tell me that I'm in love or feel like, oh, I can relate because I know I got love right here.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

But I mean, like, I just feel like, just even for your psyche, even if you're single, I like happy music about happy relationships. Even when I'm single, Like, I. I just feel like it's of a higher vibration. Like, I don't want to always hear about being done dirty. All the, like, that shit is like, or the top. Even, like the toxicity of all male artists now. Because that's just the thing. Everybody's leaned into the PND trope. All music is PND now. So it's like it's constant music about men violating women all the time. Where is the begging music? Where is the men begging you?

[Mall]

Somebody posted a meme. Somebody posted a meme that said R B music ain't good no more. Because don't grab air in the video with all the artists used to grab air. Like. Yeah, like, don't grab air no more. That's what's wrong with y'all.

[Rory]

Yeah, and we're missing, like, the. The metaphors about eating. There was like a hundred songs about rain, and we all know they were just talking about getting squirted on. Yeah, they just hided it, you know. What do you think Carl Thomas Summer Rain is about? Think he was really outside in the rain?

[Mall]

No, miss.

[Rory]

No, he was eating some.

[Mall]

Miss B Nasty was on the roof and.

[Rory]

Yo, do you think he was talking to the sky when he said let it rain on me?

[Mall]

He's talking, miss Be Nasty. That's who he was talking to. But. Shout out to P4. Shout out to party next door. Another dope alb dope project to add to the collection. But yeah, I am ready. I do want to experience it, like, outside, moving around. Like, I gotta see what that vibe is like. But it sound like it's on there, though. A lot of the songs on there are songs that I know I can go back to and it has that P. That party vibe. So. Shout out to PND P4. Available now on your DSPS.

[Rory]

Do the young kids fuck with Party? I'm saying, like 20 year olds.

[Mall]

I think the. When you say 20, like, you talking about 20? Yeah, 24.

[Rory]

No, like, I don't know, under 23 years old.

[Mall]

I don't. Yeah, Well, I think he does have that. Not as much, but I think there's some fresh out of high schoolers, freshman year, collegers, maybe even sophomore year. I think they listen to Party for sure.

[Rory]

Because, I mean, back to him aging. I'm just curious where that's going to go when his whole demographic has gotten older and may not want to hear. I don't think we're close to that now. I love party and I'm in a healthy place right now.

[Mall]

I still love it. But he's probably.

[Rory]

There could be a time when that. That shifts a bit to even Damaris's point too. Like, you don't always want to have negative. When you have like a household and like kids in a job. I mean, can't have that shit playing in the crib.

[Mall]

Somebody that made a good pivot with their sound in their career. The Weeknd when he first came out.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Compared to where he's at now, definitely.

[Damaris]

I can't see Party doing pop music like that though.

[Rory]

Party would be great at pop music. I just think he should have taken that pivot a while ago. Yes. Seven years ago. Cause I think he could definitely do it. He chose to just write a bunch of pop hits and give them away. So, I mean, maybe it could happen.

[Damaris]

If we're saying 20 year olds. Party Mobile would have been out when they were 16. Because his last project was four years ago and then before that, PND3, we're looking at. These kids would have been 12.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

And they can't relate to that. What do you. What is a kid at 12 listening to?

[Rory]

PD3.

[Damaris]

You can't understand.

[Julian]

I'm trying to think about the famous.

[Mall]

I mean, no, I don't listen for vibe.

[Rory]

Like not even listening to the lyrics.

[Mall]

I asked, I asked a friend of mine, I asked her, her daughter, who's her favorite artist. She said, party next door. And she's 12.

[Damaris]

That's scary.

[Mall]

I was like, what?

[Damaris]

See, I'd be worried.

[Mall]

I was like, party next door.

[Julian]

Why are you letting your 12 year old daughter listen to Party next Door? That's what I disrespect.

[Mall]

No, listen. But that's what I. That's. That's what I felt. I was like, party next door, bro. That was the last person I thought she was about to say.

[Rory]

That is wild.

[Mall]

Party next door. She's not even in high school yet.

[Damaris]

Before we get off because. Just one more lyric. Breakdown. Mall, can you do this? The verse and the chorus. This is for the song. Stuck in my ways.

[Mall]

Love this record. The chorus.

[Damaris]

The verse too. Start with the verse.

[Mall]

Oh, I'm letting all my hoes go.

[Rory]

Look at party line.

[Mall]

Yeah, he lying. Love. Doing something to me to make me stay. Letting all my feelings show. You're doing something to me. I'm afraid.

[Rory]

Toxic King. You always have to tell her that. You're afraid. You're afraid.

[Mall]

I'm not used to this.

[Rory]

You're scaring how much I like you. It's scaring me a bit.

[Mall]

Scaring me. I gotta take a step back. It's not you, you, it's me. Classic line. I'll say I don't want to be. I don't want to be changed. Happy as stuck in My ways, Baby, don't you be offended Because I'm so stuck in my ways I never want to change See, that's the toxic. Just say you stuck. Listen, this is who I am. I'm not changing. Either get with the program or not.

[Rory]

And then immediately letting all my bros immediately takes a pivot.

[Mall]

Yeah, let know my bros know I'm stepping out the game for real.

[Rory]

How many times have we all said that in the group chat? And everyone knew we were lying before.

[Julian]

We knew I said it like, seven.

[Mall]

I'm stepping up my game, for real. You doing something to me. I'm afraid when you.

[Julian]

When you hit the. I'm trying to hit on the hoodie chat and tell them it's a rap.

[Rory]

You know, yo guys go to one bad day party and be like, yo, I'm getting out the game, bro. By next Saturday, you are at the same. Myself included. I have lied so many times to myself, like, man, I'm done with this. Stop announcing this.

[Mall]

Stop announcing that to the homies. Like, don't announce to the homies when you. You out the game.

[Damaris]

That's sick.

[Mall]

Like, just. It starts off with, yo, we going here. Nah, I'm chilling. I ain't going. Like, once one of the homies say, I'm chilling, I'm not going, like, four.

[Julian]

Weekends in a row, you know, short.

[Mall]

Oh, this nigga got somebody like, yo, you in love or what you doing?

[Rory]

Nah, you gotta tell your friends you out the game, though.

[Mall]

Nah, don't tell me you out the game, bro, because your friends do not tell me you out the game.

[Rory]

Your friends will help you keep.

[Mall]

Stop showing up to the game.

[Rory]

Nah. Cause you need that friend. When you think you're out the game is when you're in that infatuation stage. You don't even really know this chick yet. You just like this new feeling your friends will keep. You keep one foot in the game. Like, you not out the game yet. Yeah, if your friends just stop hitting you. That's where breakups happen.

[Mall]

Yeah, but if you tell yourself, and.

[Rory]

This ain't even a girl you should have been talking to in the first place.

[Mall]

Yeah, but if you tell your friends you out the game and you not really out the game, it's just like, you found somebody that you like and you spending some time with them, and it's, like, cool. You don't want no distractions. You don't, you know? I mean, you just like, I want to focus on this girl. This feels good right here. Like, let me just keep this energy and this momentum going with her. So you tell the homies, like, yo, I think I found somebody. And three weeks, a month that don't turns left. And it's like, we clowning you now. Like, what happened? You were just out the game for like, a month. Now you back.

[Damaris]

I wouldn't be clowning. I'll be like, welcome back.

[Mall]

No, I'm clown. You gotta call me.

[Damaris]

I love my homies.

[Julian]

Have you ever had the slow clap on Beckham?

[Rory]

Serial monogamous friend that you had to say at one point, yo, stop introducing me to. To your girls.

[Mall]

Yep.

[Rory]

I can't keep doing this. I'm tired of being a fake brother.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

To another chick. Like, give it three months, then I'll meet her.

[Mall]

Yeah, Like, I don't want to meet her.

[Rory]

Treat me like your parents.

[Mall]

Yeah, I don't want to meet your girl if you just started dating her, y'all, like, two months into dating. Like, I don't want to meet her yet. When y'all get to the four month, five month. Okay, Y'all done cross seasons together. Y'all went from winter to spring. All right, Y'all might be. Y'all might be a little serious.

[Rory]

And you. Have you have ever had the chick that gets brought around by your friend, but he does this all the time. She just doesn't know that. And now she thinks because she's in this circle for three weekends in a row, starts calling people bro. You just sit there like, damn, I don't want a dirty Mac. But I want to tell this girl before she gets her heart broken.

[Mall]

Mm.

[Rory]

We're not your bros. Yeah, no, he was another girl. Yes. Like, I'm not being a part of this mess anymore.

[Julian]

Yeah, so you not. You don't do the bro.

[Rory]

She's not sis. Like, it's. That has to be your girl. For real. Because I've had too many friends that legitimately get in these month relationships constantly and bring the girl around everyone. And now. Now she followed me on IG commenting. Lol, bro. I'm not your bro.

[Mall]

Yeah. If your girl follow me on IG that you just. That I just met, that ain't for you, fam. Your girl ain't supposed to follow me. She just met me. Why are you following me? Why? I know why. I think I know why. Because you trying to see, find some clues one day. If you can't find this nigga, you ain't gonna find it on my page. I'm not that friend. I'm not posting the homies. I'm not posting I'm not going. So you might as well just unfollow me because whenever you get in your Inspector Gadget bag because this told you he. He been going for five hours. Don't come to my Instagram page looking for no context clues.

[Rory]

And then I've had like, friends, girlfriends end up unfollowing me or being mad at me because my man's was doing foul shit and I didn't say anything. Like, I never said I was your friend.

[Julian]

My loyalty to him, that's so idiotic. To me, that's idiotic.

[Rory]

Why are you mad? What did you think I was gonna do? It's not.

[Julian]

My men do that too. Men do that too.

[Mall]

Men do what? Follow friends.

[Julian]

No. Get mad at the male friends who might have known some shit. They get upset too.

[Mall]

Get mad at the male friend that might have. Yeah.

[Julian]

Like if you. If I. If you. I had an ex who has met multiple of my male friends and he, you know, he was nice to them or whatever, they might have had conversation. Like, they were cool. We get on the phone, we might say, oh, tell so and so I said, what up? Whatever. But when they went, you go through that phone and you see them text messages and I'm sending pictures of the next to my homeboys, then it's like, oh, that, this, this and that. That wasn't your friend. That's my friend.

[Rory]

Yeah, I do.

[Mall]

We're going through somebody.

[Rory]

I never had expectations of any of my girls friends. Like, I like it when they're just cool people and like, we can get along and do shit. But I know that's not my friend.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Ever. I don't have any expectations. My only expectation is make sure she's safe when y'all are out.

[Julian]

Like, yeah, I feel like that's it.

[Rory]

Like, if that girl wants to go cheat, I'm not looking at you like, why didn't you stop her? Or why didn't you tell me you were just hanging out with me? Her loyalty is not to me.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Or his loyalty. Whatever. Friend.

[Julian]

I feel like once you get married, that changes because I feel like once you get married, then all of you guys, separate friends kind of become like, I'm not comfortable being friends with someone who's married and I'm not friends with their significant other. That doesn't make sense. Not close friends, but we have to have some type of relationship.

[Rory]

And even I've had a friend's ex asked me he was. He was cheating while they were obviously together, had a kid, everything. And she asked me, like, yo, why did, like, you thought that was okay, that he was, like, cheating and had as, like, a family? I, like, No, I didn't think it was okay, but that didn't mean I was gonna go tell you. I told him, like, yo, you should probably stop doing that. But no, even if I think it's wrong, doesn't mean I'm now going to walk to you and be like, hey, we've been out a few times, we've hung out, and we're laughed together. You ain't my friend. Yeah, that's not my place to tell you.

[Mall]

I told you, I lost a friend of mine forever behind that. Mind your business. Let people have their own relationships. Don't be friends. I'm not friends with your girls. I'm not friends with. I'm not. Nah.

[Julian]

Well, if I got married, y'all wouldn't.

[Mall]

Be friends with my man, which, if you got married. That's your husband.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Mall]

I would have to be a friend with different. That's different.

[Damaris]

That's so true.

[Julian]

If I got a boyfriend, like, we were serious, for real. I wasn't.

[Mall]

That away from me.

[Damaris]

Yeah. I don't want to walk in the studio again and be looked at like, I don't belong here.

[Julian]

That's not what happened. You just. That's not what happened.

[Mall]

But anyway, he looked at you like you ain't belonging.

[Damaris]

He's like, what are you doing?

[Mall]

Who the are you? Who are you? Who are you?

[Rory]

How do you. How do you feel about introducing your female friends to your girl at the time? Then y'all break up, and then your female friend becomes best friends with the girl that you broke up with? Why are you laughing? The marriage. That sound like a specific shot.

[Mall]

That sound like. That sound like. That sounds like.

[Damaris]

Oh, by the way, girls are. Only girls do that. I know two cases of that. I know.

[Rory]

I know one that I'm staring at.

[Damaris]

Oh, no, not Lauryn Hill.

[Rory]

I don't know Lauryn Hill. Oh, you. I only know Damaris.

[Julian]

Oh, wait, I thought you were talking about something else. But the fact that this is now me. That's okay.

[Damaris]

Oh, I know. Three cases, then.

[Julian]

That's wild.

[Mall]

All women.

[Damaris]

All women.

[Mall]

Yeah. All my life, none of.

[Damaris]

None of relationships that I was in. But my one friend, the. The girl, like, went out of her way to become friends with the girl that he just broke up with. It was, like, weird because she was like, we used to date him. Oh, my God. We can, like, bond over that. And she just, like, built this relationship off talking about my friend. They Made shirts. We mean, he made sure that said his name Blank Blank. Must die. It was a play on that movie.

[Julian]

Tucker, John Tucker Must Die.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Julian]

All she. Well, that's their lame. But all one of them. All he had to do was go one of them. And they had to end.

[Damaris]

It was even lamer.

[Rory]

Both of them.

[Damaris]

You know what's even lamer? Because he's from a random state that has, like, this stupid fair. They flew together to the fair in those shirts in his home state, a state that is well off, like the beaten path. No one would go there otherwise. Went to the. Went to this fair, took photos in the shirts and then like post them all over their social. It's like. That's like.

[Mall]

Oh, that's a threesome waiting to happen.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

They both want to Him.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Do they think that would discredit him? That just makes him look better.

[Damaris]

Makes him look ill.

[Julian]

I want to kind of.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

What's going on with that guy? Yeah.

[Mall]

Y'all got merch pressed up for this? Yeah, like, y'all got some merch. Breast up.

[Julian]

I knew he had some fire.

[Damaris]

All right.

[Julian]

I knew he did.

[Mall]

I knew he has.

[Damaris]

Imagine flying to that state to go to a fair.

[Rory]

Should I have taken Damaris to Homie Court for that? The scenario I just said I was was 1,000% a shot at Damaris.

[Julian]

I really thought it was somebody else, but. Okay.

[Rory]

That it did recently happen. I just don't know all the details with that other one. I was talking about you.

[Julian]

Okay.

[Mall]

Is it Homie Court, though?

[Rory]

It's not really my ex, but.

[Mall]

Oh, so it's not.

[Damaris]

Nah, that counts because they're really cool.

[Mall]

No, but if it's not.

[Damaris]

If it's not, they're very good friends.

[Mall]

Yeah, but if it's not the. If it's not like an official X.

[Julian]

It might as well have been.

[Damaris]

Exactly.

[Mall]

Ain't no might as well. Is it an X or not?

[Rory]

No, it's not an X, but it's. It's.

[Mall]

You know, then you gotta just. You gotta. That's. Charge it to the game. That's not an X.

[Rory]

It was fine when the relationship was cool because her and I stopped dealing with each other, but we're still close friends. Yeah, and that was fine when Damaris was, like, cool with her, but now that, like, I'm viewed as an op, Like, Damaris be going on vacations and.

[Mall]

Oh, you're an OP now?

[Rory]

I'm an OP now.

[Damaris]

Oh, that changes that happen.

[Rory]

That changes whenever we had our LA show.

[Damaris]

Oh. Oh, you've been out for a minute.

[Mall]

Oh, yeah.

[Damaris]

Since December.

[Rory]

And I didn't do any op behavior.

[Mall]

And it's funny, because it did feel a little oppy outside this morning when I was outside. I ain't. I. I know you.

[Rory]

Oppenheimer, right there.

[Mall]

Oh, that's.

[Julian]

I'm really letting you get your off because, you know, I really don't play about my friend.

[Rory]

And then. Yo, all right, you hear?

[Mall]

Hold on. I don't play about my friend.

[Julian]

I don't play about my friend.

[Mall]

And you met her through him.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Mall]

That's sick. But.

[Julian]

No, but this is the.

[Mall]

Getting that off with they met through you is crazy.

[Julian]

This is the thing.

[Damaris]

When you work with him, you what?

[Julian]

You know us both and you purposely put us together and was like, y'all will love each other. You kept saying that. I gotta introduce you to this person. You'll love her.

[Rory]

Yeah, I was right.

[Julian]

Like, okay, so you're mad we love each other. I don't want. Just because. Ecstatic with you. I'm supposed. That would make me a fake bitch. Like, oh, you and Rory beefing out. Sorry. All of our love and friendship that we've built. Like, I'm supposed to just stop.

[Rory]

But I feel like when the opping happens in la, I got a call, answered the phone. Cause that's my friend. There's no beef.

[Mall]

That's what you do when the phone.

[Rory]

Rings and I get cursed out for I feel no reason at all.

[Mall]

When you say you feel no reason, it gets sticky there.

[Julian]

He ain't innocent, and I'll leave it at that.

[Mall]

See? See how fast I found out that you ain't innocent?

[Rory]

See, I did not contact this person when I went to la. What? Like, what's.

[Mall]

What am I guilty of not contacting this person? We. Have you contacted a person? When? Before.

[Rory]

I did not even know she was in la.

[Mall]

Okay, now that's different.

[Julian]

She just happens to live there.

[Damaris]

She lives there. Yeah.

[Rory]

See that. And that's a false narrative because splitting time.

[Mall]

Did she live there? Yes or no?

[Rory]

I don't know.

[Mall]

Oh, so, yeah, I never know if.

[Rory]

She lives in one state or la.

[Damaris]

I know she lives there.

[Rory]

Like, no, let them. How much. How much time?

[Julian]

You're literally losing, homie. Court, you need a lawyer.

[Rory]

How much time does she spend in another state? 50, if not more.

[Julian]

I would say 70.

[Rory]

In. Not in LA.

[Julian]

As the person who speaks to her every day, 25 of her time is spent not in LA.

[Rory]

Okay. Either way, she could live full time in LA. Why? If I'm in LA, for two days.

[Mall]

She travels, so I'm. I'm supposed to assume that she's there.

[Rory]

Yeah. And we hadn't spoken really like that in a minute either way.

[Mall]

What happened?

[Rory]

So then I called Damaris.

[Mall]

Slow down. Why hadn't y'all spoken like that in a minute?

[Rory]

Be busy. I don't know.

[Mall]

Busy is always busy, ain't they? Yeah. No, I got busy.

[Rory]

You don't think in the last year I've been busy?

[Mall]

No, you've been. I've been busy with you, so. Yes, I understand. I. I get it.

[Rory]

So I did not contact that person. But that's also not the first time I've went to LA and not contacted.

[Mall]

Okay, all right. Gain some traction in this.

[Damaris]

No, but it's different because why? In the past, there's been times she's.

[Rory]

Been in New York and didn't tell me.

[Damaris]

Different.

[Mall]

Okay, now he might be winning.

[Damaris]

Okay, that. That was a good.

[Julian]

He's also lying.

[Mall]

Oh, he's lying. Oh, now you losing again. Oh, you lying now. Don't lie on the oath.

[Julian]

Because I'm mad he even brought this up because he gonna make me not be on his side. Like, because I was on his side. But don't. Don't add little sprinkles of lies like. Like black glitter, like parsley.

[Rory]

Like, don't do that when. And she has been in New York and not contacted me.

[Julian]

Was she there for 24 hours? Sure.

[Damaris]

That's it.

[Rory]

So that's how long was I in la?

[Damaris]

We were there for two nights. No, no, we would. No, we were there for the LA show. For the LA show. We were at least. At least three, four days. At least. So I'm saying. But wasn't. You were out there, right?

[Julian]

No.

[Damaris]

Oh, I was gonna say. Okay, well, then never mind. I was gonna say if the Maris died out there, that it's worse, but she wasn't out there.

[Mall]

I don't know who to believe in. I don't know whose side I should be on in this scenario, but you.

[Julian]

But that's not what's important.

[Rory]

That isn't what the case is at all. My issue was, after I got cursed out on the phone, I was on the energy because I didn't understand why I was being cursed out. Cool. If you don't want to fuck with me, bet I'll make it easier for you.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

As part of it.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Because at that point, I didn't like how I was being treated as a friend. Like, why are you cursing me out for not contacting you? And Won't even let me speak. So.

[Mall]

All right.

[Rory]

If you don't want to fuck with me, fuck.

[Mall]

Bet.

[Rory]

So I called Emerus. I'm like, yo, what's up with your homegirl?

[Damaris]

Your home?

[Rory]

And then all of a sudden, Damaris is now not in it. Like, nah, I want to be a part of it.

[Mall]

That means she in it. That means she know every fucking thing. So never they be like, I ain't in it.

[Damaris]

Nigga, you in it.

[Mall]

You know everything. She telling you everything.

[Rory]

To me, it was fine when all of us were friends, but if we have to draw a line in the sand, I'm not the petty person that says you can't be friends with her.

[Mall]

Right.

[Rory]

But if we're in, like, a heated fight. Nah, you got to be on my side of the sand at that point.

[Mall]

Yeah. No, you gotta draw. You gotta. Gotta pick a side.

[Rory]

You can't not be in it now.

[Mall]

Yeah, you gotta pick it.

[Damaris]

So then you got cussed out by her, and now subsequently, Damaris is also mad at you because she took her side.

[Julian]

No. He's mad at. No, I mind my business. This one got to do with me, because either way, I still have to come in here and record this goddamn podcast. I'm not saying nothing. That's your business. Y'all have known each other longer than I've known both of y'all.

[Mall]

No, that's the way. That's a way to get out of. Get out from a friend. Exactly.

[Julian]

But I'm not about to drop my friend. I speak to her more than I speak to you. Why would I ever drop her?

[Mall]

It sounds like we know which side she picked.

[Julian]

I didn't pick a side. There's no side.

[Mall]

There's a side. There's always a side. We're not doing that. There's a side.

[Rory]

They. They never choose the person they were in the trenches with, only the person they went to Turks with.

[Mall]

Exactly. It's crazy.

[Damaris]

She wasn't.

[Julian]

She was not in Turks.

[Rory]

Y'all have been on vacation multiple times.

[Julian]

Okay.

[Rory]

Which was fine.

[Julian]

Rory, you just met, like, Rory. You gonna make me Shake this up.

[Mall]

Shake it if it was me, you would have shook this like a 3 liter Pepsi. Shake this up Shake it the up Stop. Shake it up it I'm here to antagonize Shake it the up Gotta go home. Shake this like a bottle of Moet Shake this up Shake it up Stop. Shake it up Serendipity.

[Rory]

I'm not leaving.

[Julian]

End of the day. That's. That's my friend. That's my. I feel like if you develop a genuine friendship with somebody, you develop a genuine friendship with somebody. I can't. You can't help who you fall in love with. You can't help who you love. And that is what it is.

[Rory]

Do you love me?

[Julian]

Yes, I love you. But you're not in danger. This person didn't disrespect you.

[Mall]

Yes, she did. That call was crazy.

[Julian]

This person didn't violate you. This person didn't take money out your kid's mouth. This person didn't really do anything real to you.

[Rory]

Oh, I have. I have no issue with y'all friendship. I do want to make that clear.

[Julian]

Yeah, I know.

[Rory]

I'm just saying, in the middle of that fight, when I called you, I feel like at that point, you got to pick a side.

[Julian]

I helped you out, too. When she called me and told her piece, I said, hey, you know, this isn't really what it is. This isn't, you know, like, I told her certain things, but then at the end of that, I give you information. I give her information. That's for y'all to figure that out on your own.

[Rory]

Because if, like, you're really my friend, why. Why didn't you approach it as, hey, why didn't you call me? Are you okay? How's everything going? Because I don't get those text messages. I only get a call. Why didn't you call me when you landed in la? Not, yo, are you okay? Yeah, it's quiet.

[Julian]

No, it's not quiet. No. He's sitting up here painting this narrative of my friend. See you painting this narrative of my friend. And I don't like my friend, too, because there are other situations. There are other situations that had happened prior to that that might have left a bad taste in that person's mouth. So then it's now it's not just, oh, Rory, Rory, everything doing. Of course it ain't just, oh, Rory's busy. He's in New York. I mean, he's in LA for 48 hours, you know? Now I can't see him. Now it's, oh, Rory acted funny, and I got a nasty taste in my mouth. And this is just another instance where he's doing that.

[Mall]

Do, do. Oh, skin to skin. Oh, body to body.

[Rory]

I don't see where that relates.

[Mall]

No, I just love that. Right?

[Rory]

It is a great song.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I feel like if we were really friends, she could have just asked me.

[Mall]

This nigga's a serial killer, man.

[Rory]

Wait. If you have an issue with your real friend, because I've known that girl for over a decade. I feel like I consider considered her a very close friend.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

We have talked about everything under the sun. Had some of the wildest conversations you could think of with both our personal lives.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You can't just call me and be like, yo, I feel like you're acting shady. Or that last thing that happened with the event, like, I get it, or what, like, how can we move forward? I didn't get any of those calls.

[Mall]

That's true. I don't know. I'm just talking.

[Damaris]

Yeah. I don't know who. Who won mall.

[Mall]

Yeah, you picked. All right, well, after some deliberations and, you know, I went to the jurors room and talked to some people.

[Damaris]

Just some people.

[Mall]

Just some people that. Just hanging out on a lunch break. It seems as if Damaris is right in this case. So.

[Julian]

Thank you.

[Mall]

You're my guy. You know I love you, but I'm just.

[Rory]

Can anyone win when feelings are hurt?

[Mall]

We all lose.

[Rory]

When the Family Feuds, Nobody is there any real winner.

[Mall]

Nobody wins.

[Julian]

Nobody wins in the championship.

[Mall]

You know that.

[Rory]

Before we do get to voicemails, though, Sinead Harnett, Boundaries album came out on Friday. One of my favorite albums. Candidate for album of the year so far.

[Mall]

Really?

[Rory]

It's really, really, really good. Burn to me, might be one of the best songs of the year so far. That album is fucking great.

[Mall]

Sinead, her voice is. She has like a. You could tell she studied.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, that's music theory.

[Mall]

She. She's. Her voice is. Is so she just mastered, you know, her tone and her runs and things like that. Like, I love listening to us, but I gotta check. I didn't check the album out yet. So.

[Rory]

And. And perfect balance, like back to our conversation before of love music and toxic and breakup stuff. Like, it's a complete album in that regard. It's a. It sounds cliche. She takes you on a journey as an adult trying to date right now.

[Mall]

We gotta check it out. What's the name of the album?

[Rory]

Boundaries.

[Mall]

Boundaries.

[Rory]

Really, really, really good. And Burn. Again, a candidate for song song of the year.

Great plug, guys.

[Damaris]

Ready?

[Rory]

Voicemails.

[Mall]

Voicemails. Males from the voices.

[Damaris]

I got a good one, so let's just jump right in here.

[Mall]

You've got mail.

[Rory]

Yeah, what up? This is Chris from Dallas.

[Mall]

Wanted to get y'all input on a debate I was having with the homies. So you sitting at the crib, 6.

[Rory]

7Pm you get a phone call from.

[Mall]

A chick you've been trying to get with. Trying to. Trying to pop for a minute, but.

[Rory]

It just ain't work out. She hits you up, let you know.

[Mall]

She in your area, trying to come through. She got a bottle, she got weed, she got whatever.

[Rory]

And she lets you know she about 15 minutes away from your area.

[Mall]

And you look around your crib, and your crib is dirty.

[Rory]

It's not filthy, but it's dirty.

[Damaris]

And you got time to clean one.

[Mall]

Room in your crib.

[Damaris]

Which room are you cleaning? Yeah, the bathroom, the kitchen, the living.

[Mall]

Room or your bedroom.

[Damaris]

And then the Maris, if you coming.

[Mall]

Over a dude crib and you, you know you want to get out, which.

[Rory]

Room needs to be clean?

[Mall]

I appreciate y'all.

[Damaris]

Love y'all, man.

[Mall]

I think that's easy. Whichever room we plan on spending the most time in.

[Rory]

Living room.

[Damaris]

Living room, probably.

[Mall]

Because I guess you could only clean one room. He said only one.

[Damaris]

You're on a time crunch, so you gotta. Maybe it's some clothing out or some on the floor.

[Mall]

It's clean is tough because she's gonna have to use the bathroom.

[Rory]

Yeah. But she's gonna spend more time in the living room, so.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

But once she go to that bathroom, time might be up.

[Rory]

I feel like you could kind of get off, like, yo, bathroom's really dirty. I apologize. Like, you could.

[Mall]

But how dirty. How dirty is the bathroom?

[Damaris]

You said dirty but not filthy. So maybe, I don't know, trash cans full. Maybe there's like a towel on the floor.

[Mall]

As long as the toilet is not, like, dirty.

[Damaris]

Still don't have doo doo stains in the toilet.

[Mall]

Yeah. Like, don't have piss on the seat.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Like, as long as the toilet is not dirty, then I'm. I would go probably with. Because how dirty can your bedroom be besides clothes everywhere? Right.

[Damaris]

I'm cleaning the living room.

[Rory]

But if it's like a first link be dirty.

[Julian]

Be having food and cups and that's gross.

[Mall]

In their. In their Room.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

That's gross.

[Mall]

Dirty.

[Rory]

Yeah, A lot of people do that.

[Damaris]

People. I had a friend that when I live was teaching in Chicago, a friend of mine would eat Chipotle almost every meal. He had a corner of his bedroom. It was just Chipotle.

[Mall]

But that's different. That's a dorm room. That's.

[Damaris]

No, this is. I mean, we were young. I was like 23, 24. But it was when I was teaching.

[Mall]

It was apartment apart.

[Damaris]

We had an apartment. And his, his room just smelled like Chipotle. Cuz he had all these bags piled up.

[Mall]

Some people are filthy. Like, we know that we don't even have this.

[Julian]

A filthy question.

[Mall]

Yeah, but I, I like, that's why.

[Julian]

When he was describing the question, I'm like, if you could clean one room. I'm a woman.

[Mall]

I'm.

[Julian]

When I go to walk to the bathroom, I'm inspecting the house to see if I want to open my legs, open my leg, sit on your toilet. I'm inspecting the rest of the crate.

[Mall]

That's what I was saying. Like if, if the bathroom is too dirty, then it's like once you get to that bathroom, I don't care how clean the living room is.

[Rory]

But you losing out the gate, cuz. Let's say the house for the most part, when you walk in, the living room would be close to where the door is, and that's where you would hang. You may not even get to the chance of her using the bathroom. If your living room is disgusting.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

At least if I have a clean living room, hopefully I could be charming, have some jokes. We could have a good time before she has to piss. Couple drinks and then I can be like, yo, bathroom is in an awful place. I apologize. Does. If your living room is disgusting, out of rip. She's gonna leave.

[Mall]

Yeah. Because you're.

[Damaris]

Because you're gonna spend. Like you guys said, you're gonna spend the most time in that room.

[Rory]

Well, this is a bad hypothetical in general because nobody cleans a house faster than a man. That got that I'm on the way text.

[Mall]

Oh God. 15 minutes.

[Rory]

I think a man could clean his whole house in 15 minutes if the right girl's on the way.

[Mall]

100. Yeah, depending on how bad she is. I could paint this. The walls. Yeah, I put an accent wall in this in 15 minutes. What if it's that one you been waiting to say? Yo, she been fighting, coming to your house. Like, no, nigga, I'm not coming to your house. You like, all right. And whenever we link up, we Gotta go outside, go to a little restaurant, coffee, date bar, movies, whatever. She never comes back. When she finally says, what you doing today? And you say, I'm home chilling. She's like, okay, you want me to come over? Do I want you to come over?

[Rory]

I want you to live here.

[Mall]

I don't ever want you to leave this motherfucker. I need you in here. Yeah, yeah, you. If it's the right one, you can definitely clean up pretty fast. But I'll say living room most important, because we're gonna be in the living room, watch tv. If we get a little cozy on the couch, like as the couch and everything has to, like, everything has to be clean in the living room.

[Rory]

You could try to get like a type of fly, lie off. Like, yo, maid got sick, so the bathroom's a little nasty.

[Mall]

I was in Turks living a walk up tenement nigga. No, ain't no housekeeper coming to him.

[Julian]

I would say, depending on how big your kitchen is, I would say, I think this is because I'm a girl, though. Clean the kitchen. The kitchen would be the room I would tell them to clean over.

[Mall]

Over the. Over the living room.

[Julian]

Different levels of dirty. There's only so dirty. Your living room could be. If I'm expecting a dirty living room, I'm expecting the throw blankets aren't folded. There's probably like food containers or something. Maybe a full container or like a Popeyes cup or some on the table. Like, is just disorganized. If your kitchen is dirty, that comes with an accompanying smell that comes with clean the kitchen, the kitchen or the bathroom would be my. My pick. The living room you can clean. As I'm walking in, you can be like, yo, my homeboy was sleeping on my couch. Let me toss this throw blanket. Let me pick up this thing and walk into the kitchen.

[Mall]

You know that's coming from a girl that knows she ain't trying to get this thing no right now. Because you say clean the kitchen, she want to eat, she want to sit in here and talk. You know what I'm saying? Like, all right, cool. I ain't getting no pussy tonight. Living room gotta be clean. Cause like I said, it's so many ways it can go from the living room. We could eat in the living room, we could fuck in the living room.

[Julian]

But if your kitchen got a smell, I can't fuck with it. I can't. If your kitchen's dirty, I will smell it.

[Mall]

Yeah, but if a nigga couch got a. If a nigga couch got a smell, you going you out.

[Julian]

Well, how?

[Mall]

Well, I don't know how.

[Julian]

Even if you clean the couch, the couch will still have the smell, right? You ain't vacuum cleaning the. Vacuuming the couch for 15 minutes.

[Mall]

Everybody. Don't you know what I mean? Got stink asses. I don't know. They sit down, the ass smell like they. The seat smell like their ass. I don't know. I can't vouch. I don't. That ain't me. But I'm just saying, I've been around some. I've been to some of the homies cribs, where I'm like, fam, I'm gonna just wait by the door for you to get dressed, and we gonna put these sneakers on.

[Rory]

I'm. I'm big on cleanliness. I've never had, like, a dirty, disgusting apartment, no matter where I live. But I have had my apartment stop me from getting some that was ready to go. My first apartment ever. In the kitchen, the hardwood floors were so shitty. It was just. It was awful clean. But it was an awful apartment. Yeah, she was ready to go. She got a splinter. Ah. Walking in my kitchen. Dried the right up. Oh, man, I was so. I was like. That was one of those. That I had done the Courtship. This was like. I was like 22 at the last year I did the Courtship. And, you know, I didn't have a lot of money at 22. I took her out, like, yeah, I liked her.

[Mall]

Yeah, this.

[Rory]

It was time.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Right in the bottom of her heel. Just.

[Mall]

You couldn't get it out.

[Rory]

I went to Walgreens to get tweezers by that point. Like, I was definitely not getting Going to get tweezers.

[Mall]

Look at.

[Damaris]

Look at Dr. Rory.

[Mall]

I would have sucked that out her.

[Rory]

Heel like a snake bite.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah. I'm one of them at 22. All right, let me see that. Go get a tweezer, man. Put your foot in my mouth, man, we not going nowhere. Tweezer. Tweezer ain't never got a. No. Ain't never came out with a tweeze in his hands. Like, girl, I gotta. This. This never happened.

[Rory]

There's nothing sexy about.

[Mall]

Yeah, let me see. All of a sudden you a doctor to my. Let me see. Get out of here.

[Damaris]

Play an operation.

[Mall]

Idiot.

[Julian]

Why you ain't give her no. Like, she was barefoot.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Oh, she was ready. Ready. No, when she.

[Rory]

I wasn't ready. I was about to.

[Damaris]

Roy was butt ass.

[Mall]

Yo. When she. When she barefoot, walking around. Oh, she for sure ready. She for sure.

[Julian]

I'm not walking around Anybody's house barefoot.

[Mall]

Why not?

[Julian]

I need a sock. Can I have a sock?

[Rory]

But it was a clean house.

[Mall]

Yeah. What if you got a clean hardwood floors?

[Rory]

They were. They were clean. They were just very shitty and old.

[Julian]

You. I have to know that your floors are clean like that, which means I have to have been here multiple times. I feel you like I'm the first.

[Mall]

Night you some socks. I give you some socks.

[Julian]

Socks work okay. I can. I can with some.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You still put money bags on her? Her photos to this day.

[Damaris]

Ooh, homie Court.

[Mall]

Master Splinter.

[Rory]

That is Master Splinter.

[Julian]

Master Yo.

[Mall]

I put money bags on Master Splinter. I didn't even know.

[Rory]

Yeah, you know her.

[Mall]

I know her know her.

[Rory]

You know her, know her.

[Mall]

Okay. Yeah, tell me off here.

[Rory]

Yeah, it was. That was. That was a depressing day. I mean, it does have a good ending. I eventually, you know, like, got my.

[Mall]

Look back, but you got the drawers. All right.

[Rory]

But it was a very disappointing night. Like, I could not believe my apartment turned on me that way.

[Mall]

You lost the fight, but you won.

[Julian]

The war, so it wasn't meant to be. Maybe she had chlamydia at that time.

[Mall]

That's sick at that.

[Damaris]

Why are you putting that on her.

[Mall]

Jacket at that time? It's crazy.

[Julian]

Maybe that was God keeping you from something. You never know.

[Mall]

I'm in my crib with chlamydia as well. Maybe she didn't know.

[Rory]

I mean, she was barefoot in my crib without, you know, checking the floor. So, yeah, she might have chlamydia. Those two things go hand in hand. Yeah.

[Mall]

That's crazy.

[Rory]

I don't think she had.

[Mall]

I hope she did.

[Rory]

Whoever she is, she doesn't give me, like, chlamydia vibes.

[Mall]

Okay, well, good.

[Damaris]

There's no vibe.

[Julian]

The last person you know with chlamydia didn't give you chlamydia vibes either.

[Rory]

Of course, I. I don't think I give off chlamydia vibes, but, boy, have I had it.

[Julian]

I'm here to tell you you give off chlamydia vibes.

[Rory]

I do. That's cuz you know me for real. But, like, when you first.

[Mall]

That's cuz you know me as a. Like, you know my soul. You know know me. Yeah. You know, the inside big.

[Rory]

But I feel like if you first meet me, like, out the gate, I don't know if I give chlamydia vibes. When you get to know me, you could be like, yo, he looks a little clammy.

[Mall]

I hope a girl never looked at Me and said, yo, he gives me chlamydia vibes. I pray that there has never been a conversation in text messages. You know how crazy that is to.

[Rory]

Know, like, you look a little drippy. And I'm not saying about your clothes.

[Mall]

That's sick. Yo, he look like he got.

[Damaris]

What you got some discharge?

[Mall]

Tell me what I've never. Whatever I had on when y'all thought that I'm never wearing that again. Whatever I had on when the girls hit the chat. Like, yo, he look like he got chlamydia. I am never wearing that outfit again in my life.

[Rory]

What?

[Julian]

We definitely say like, that we definitely.

[Mall]

He look like he has chlamydia. All right, tell me what that look entails. Like, what is the look?

[Julian]

It's just as. It's very hard to describe. But Rory. Rory does have that look. I don't think.

[Mall]

What about Rory says he has chlamydia. Help me with the eye. I need the eye. Give me the eye.

[Rory]

What gives it away?

[Mall]

Give me the eye. What about Rory says he has he good sneakers.

[Rory]

I'm clapped up in perpetuity. Like, I got chlamydia once. I got chlamydia once when I was 19, and I haven't gotten.

[Mall]

This isn't a reoccurring thing.

[Damaris]

Having the.

[Julian]

The back to the antibiotics act like.

[Rory]

I walk down the street and everyone is just giving me a round of applause.

[Mall]

Round of applause.

[Julian]

No, it's just a look. It's like usually when guys are handsome.

[Rory]

Oh, thank you.

[Mall]

God damn. All right, what else?

[Julian]

It's a. It's a handsome but you'll. It's a handsome, nasty vibe that you give off. Like if you have a handsome, nasty vibe or yolo nasty but you handsome vibe. Scary.

[Rory]

He's handsome, but doesn't respect his body.

[Julian]

And will probably anybody in anything and not. Yeah, like, when you live.

[Rory]

Feels really good hearing this about yourself.

[Julian]

I see a especially. Oh, especially the ones. Especially when you was doing do say palooza. Any that's throwing a traveling party and you look good.

[Damaris]

Yeah, that's a chlamydia tour.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Damaris]

That's chlamydia palooza.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I don't think anyone clap Ch.

[Mall]

That's definitely clap chella right there. Do say palooza was clap chella. When you think about it, way more.

[Rory]

People have gotten chlamydia at Coachella than any palooza.

[Mall]

Well, that's because the grounds hold more people.

[Damaris]

Yeah, it's all dirty and.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah, like the numbers.

[Damaris]

If we go per capita.

[Mall]

Yeah, per capita.

[Damaris]

Palooz Is putting up numbers.

[Mall]

Oh, my God.

[Julian]

Clapchella is the first.

[Mall]

Y'all was definitely Clapchella. 100%.

[Rory]

No, I can't. Unless they kept it to themselves.

[Mall]

But we. No, that's the gift that keeps getting.

[Rory]

I feel like somebody would have said in the group chat, like, yo, I got burnt. I feel like that would happen. And no, I don't remember anyone getting the std.

[Mall]

Ok, well, it's good for y'all, man. Hopefully I do. Well, hopefully. We answered this guy's voicemail. I go with clean the kitchen. I mean, clean the living room. Damaris says clean the kitchen. Rory goes, living room. Living room.

[Damaris]

So all the men say living room.

[Mall]

All the men say living room. Damaris says kitchen. Because Damaris is thinking about going in there and maybe potentially whipping something up for her friend. And, you know, she don't want a dirty kitchen. I respect that as a chef.

[Rory]

And I could find loopholes in this hypothetical, because if I clean the living room and she's there, I could buy some time to, like, use the bathroom and try to clean it.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah, that's a good.

[Rory]

Or, like, when I. When.

[Mall]

Good play.

[Rory]

Cause she. What he said she had bottled weed, all that. I could go to the kitchen to get cups and then just start to scramble.

[Mall]

Like, good play. Oh, yeah.

[Damaris]

Once you get her situated with a drink and the music's on.

[Rory]

Yeah, you.

[Mall]

Yeah, once you go get her, now, you gotta. You. That buys you seven minutes in the kitchen.

[Damaris]

You could do some boom, boom, boom.

[Mall]

Wash the cup, wash whatever's in the sink. The garbage should be. You should take the garbage out before she arrives.

[Julian]

That's another one.

[Mall]

Take the garbage out before she gets there. That's quick.

[Damaris]

That's garbage sick.

[Mall]

That's quick.

[Julian]

But see, that's the thing. You only get one room. You can't just be going room to room doing the garbage. So what's worse, the kitchen garbage or the living room garbage? That's what I'm saying. Living room garbage ain't got shit but some snotty tissues in it, like the fucking kitchen garbage. Because if I walk in your house and there is a smell, yeah. My will get up and, like, run out the door. Yeah, I'll be there. She won't.

[Mall]

Yeah, I feel you on that. All right, well, hopefully we helped you out, but in order to help yourself, clean your crib. Yeah.

[Julian]

Why you all chilling with your homies? That's important thing. Why y'all chilling with your homies? Your crib dirty.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Oh, that's a lot of People a lot of people be outside while they crib dirty. You know that? That's why they be outside. I gotta get the out. This is crazy. God damn. I can't find nothing in this dirty ass house. Let me go get a drink the drink. Get a mop and a broom. Clean this up.

[Rory]

That's turning a link up into a bad Charlie clip scheme.

[Mall]

Yeah, like you want to get a living room look like this brunch. Oh man, I used to hate that.

[Rory]

I like Charlie clips a lot as a battle rapper. Definitely one of my favorites. I could not stand though Guess what room I'm in schemes.

[Mall]

You ain't like.

[Rory]

That as a Clips fan I was like bro, I this Sirius Jones won.

[Mall]

Like this based off of that. I'm sorry, do we have another voicemail? No.

[Rory]

All right, well guess what room he's in.

[Mall]

Play this which room I'm in. I'm doing you and your boys hints.

[Rory]

I'mma shower you with some balls and leave you and your boys pissed.

[Mall]

I start shooting up your car.

[Rory]

An easy guess when I'm getting that toy lit cuz when it's nine take.

[Mall]

A dump you won't get to enjoy.

[Julian]

Oh, he in the bathroom for sure.

[Mall]

You know what room I'm in?

[Damaris]

Uhoh, you don't know.

[Mall]

Well here's I could shoot your sister but I'mma let my arm rest and have this right hook recliner. I'm comfortable like a love seat.

[Rory]

When I'm strapped with two arms pull out and make everybody sleep.

[Mall]

It's like a futon. I told you uncle.

[Damaris]

Oh, he switched rooms guys living room.

[Mall]

You know what room I'm in Now.

[Rory]

You know now I'mma throw the tech.

[Mall]

In your mouth since nobody living in that room. Let me drag you through the rest of the house. Me and your aunt had an encounter. I grabbed it by her hair. I was getting ready to off it. The sink was running hot but I didn't really want to force it.

[Rory]

I grabbed that knife.

[Mall]

I thought about having my hand up.

[Rory]

And then had his can open up.

[Damaris]

Oh he can open up kitchen.

[Mall]

You ain't even see where he was going. You know what room he was looks.

[Damaris]

Like when Wayne said get it?

[Mall]

Julian said the attic.

[Julian]

The attic.

[Damaris]

It's like when Wayne said get it leave him dead in the living room.

[Rory]

And I thought he was about to serious Jones. Then I found then he was about to kill I was so confused huh. When he had an encounter with his aunt I thought he meant and then all of a sudden he's about to murder this, it's like a rape suicide. I hate that scheme so fucking much.

[Julian]

He ate though.

[Mall]

He did.

[Rory]

No, Charlie Clips is an incredible rapper and smoked every part of that. I just think it's an awful scheme to be yelling at your opponent. Guess what room I'm in.

[Damaris]

It's like Clue. Yeah, it was my aunt.

[Rory]

How are you beating me right now? I have to guess what room you're in.

[Mall]

I only have three, so good luck with that.

[Julian]

They have a studio apartment.

[Mall]

Yeah, it's all one room.

[Rory]

And you're insulting my intelligence because you started a scheme with guess what room I'm in. I'm gonna let the arm rest. Okay. You're in the living room. Yeah, I knew off the first bar.

[Mall]

The NBA playoffs are here. They're happening. Shout out to the Knicks. The Knicks up three, one.

[Julian]

Hey, go, Nick.

[Damaris]

We closing it out.

[Mall]

Hopefully close it out today.

[Damaris]

Tonight.

[Mall]

If you're hearing this. Closing it out tonight.

[Damaris]

Tonight at the Garden.

[Mall]

Over the weekend, the Phoenix Suns got swept. Shout out to my man kd.

[Rory]

You can't. Don't shout someone out after they get swept.

[Mall]

That's when they need to be shouted out.

[Rory]

It's not gonna be taken with us.

[Damaris]

Yeah, y'all are gonna be asked for at least five more years. You guys are the Suns that Phoenix.

[Mall]

Let me the reason why I'm disappointed in that Phoenix series. Shout out to Minnesota. I think Anthony Edwards and Carl Anthony Towns and those guys are playing great. But the Phoenix Suns had a lot of high expectations with their acquisition of Bradley Bill this off season. So a lot of people thought Phoenix was going to be a team to watch out for.

[Rory]

How do you feel that my dad got inducted into his high school hall of fame with Karl Anthony Thompson Towns? Because I thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

[Mall]

Carl Anthony Towns got inducted the same day as your dad.

[Rory]

Yeah, I went to the banquet.

[Mall]

That's fire.

[Rory]

It was just funny to be like, Carl Anthony Towns. My dad's like five seven, a current NBA all star.

[Damaris]

Five seven, drunk. And then Jake over here, an Irish man.

[Mall]

The legend, the legend.

[Rory]

Just showing you the difference in times of New Jersey.

[Mall]

Just the range at the moment of successful people that come through that organization is just amazing. But the Phoenix Suns got swept. Packed their asses up. I don't know, man. That was bad. That's a bad look for kd. Still one of the greatest players in the league, one of the greatest players we've ever seen. But getting swept by this young Minnesota team with a 22 year old star that's bad. That's a bad look.

[Julian]

Look.

[Mall]

It's a nasty look. It's a nasty look for the resume of Devin Booker, Bradley, Bill Kevin Durant. But the next round, if Denver makes, you know, they handle business with the Lakers. That Denver, Minnesota matchup.

[Rory]

If they handle business.

[Damaris]

You're not that delusional, man.

[Mall]

I'm just saying.

[Damaris]

You're not that delusional.

[Rory]

Yeah, that one looks tight. It could go either way.

[Mall]

I'm just saying. This is basketball. I hate to say it. One sprain of an ankle to a certain player changes everything.

[Rory]

Okay, all right.

[Mall]

I'm just saying. Let's just, you know, we've seen crazy shit happen, but it does look like Denver will take care of the Lakers tonight and send them packing. But that Denver Minnesota matchup should be fun.

[Rory]

That's going to be a great series.

[Mall]

That's going to be a great series. I do think that Denver will win. I think Denver will probably repeat this again this year. I do think that their toughest opponent will probably end up being Minnesota.

[Rory]

Did you see that? Meek tweeted today in said as Philly fans, they all need to go to the Garden this week to return the favor of taking over an arena.

[Mall]

I could promise you that it won't be enough Philly fans.

[Damaris]

There's not enough.

[Rory]

Tweeted that. I was like, thank God. All right, Knicks are gonna close it up.

[Mall]

Yeah, that's not happening. But the Knicks, that was crazy to.

[Rory]

See, though, because Philly fans as a whole are probably the most obnoxious fans.

[Damaris]

They're such.

[Rory]

Philly fans, as individuals, are amazing people. I love them.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But when you guys all get together as one group. Group. You're animals.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You're the worst. You're the worst fan base ever. But I salute you guys because. Have you been to an Eagles game?

[Mall]

Oh, yeah, it's.

[Rory]

You thought the old Oakland Raider fans were crazy. Eagles fans are out of their minds.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So to see that the Knicks took over a Philly arena, well, that's because.

[Mall]

The proximity of New York and Philly is so close. A lot of people that live in Philly now originated in New York. They're from New York. And I had a lot of people.

[Damaris]

Be chant going on as they exited the stadium.

[Mall]

Yeah, I mean, I think that's crazy. Philly is a great sports town. The Sixers is a good team, good young team. But Jalen Brunson is special, man. He's special, and I'm just glad he's a Knick. I'm glad The Knicks got him. Underpaid him, but they gonna take care of him this summer, though.

[Damaris]

Biggest steal.

[Mall]

Yeah. Don't worry.

[Damaris]

We saved so much money with that contract. They got him.

[Mall]

They're gonna take care of him this summer. Don't you. It's this summer, right?

[Damaris]

No, I think it's next year. Oh, shit. We stole. We literally got him for, like, a flash sale. It's crazy.

[Rory]

I'm fine with the con pricing, with the tolls and bridges. If that money goes to Jalen Brunson.

[Mall]

True.

[Rory]

I'm fine with my tattoo.

[Mall]

He needs to be comfortable in New York City. Let's give it to him. Let's make sure he's comfortable, he's well rested, so he can continue to perform.

[Damaris]

And this is crazy. I read a stat about Josh Hart, who's averaging 12.8 rebounds in the playoffs a game. He's the only. There's two other Knicks that have over 50 rebounds in a single playoff series. It's Ewing and Oakland. So he's, as a guard, just flying all over the court.

[Mall]

The Knicks are playing great. They're playing together. Shout out to the Knicks. Shout out to Julius, my guy. He's still, you know, he's rehabbing. He's.

[Rory]

What do y'all feel about the Bucks and Pacers?

[Mall]

I think he's in California. Huh.

[Rory]

How do y'all feel about the Bucks and Pacers?

[Damaris]

Paces are gonna close it out.

[Rory]

I was mad that the Knicks didn't end up playing the Pacers in the first round, but paces are like. Paces are cooking.

[Damaris]

Paces are great. But, like, the Bucks are real. Like, Lillard and Giannis were out last game.

[Rory]

I know, but still, like.

[Damaris]

Like, the Pacers are a good team.

[Rory]

Good. Even with the injuries on the Bucks.

[Damaris]

Yeah. I think that that next matchup, us, if all goes according to what it looks like Bas us vs the Pacers will be a good. That'll be a competitive.

[Mall]

Think the Knicks get that in. In, I'll say, five games, and we'll.

[Damaris]

Have home court, which is big.

[Mall]

Yeah. But I think the Knicks will take care of the paces. I'm not. I. I don't think the Knicks too worried about the Pacers, but Celtics, on the other hand, Celtics are looking good.

[Rory]

A little worried about them.

[Damaris]

Yeah. They bounced back after one. Miami played the game of their life, and then the game three, Celtics were like, all right, we're back.

[Mall]

Yeah. I haven't watched a single game in that Cleveland Orlando series.

[Damaris]

Don't care at all.

[Mall]

I haven't watched a single game in that series. I don't that Boston has a cakewalk. If they get past Miami, they're walking to the conference finals.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Shout out to the Mavericks. Kyrie played a great game. They came up short. James played a great game, too, but that was a great game, that comeback. Yeah, that was a great. It was down 30 and then came all the way back. I still think Kyrie Irving is the best player on that team. I know everybody how everybody feels about Luca. I still think Kyrie Irving is the best player on that team. But we'll wait and see. Any plans for we. What's your birthday?

[Rory]

Yeah. So out to Mexico tomorrow.

[Mall]

Yep.

[Rory]

And it should be fun.

[Julian]

I'm gonna go Mexico.

[Rory]

You going to Mexico City.

[Julian]

Okay.

[Rory]

And then like the outskirts of it.

[Mall]

So enjoy that, man. That should be fun. Very, very relaxing. Different type of vibration out there. Very laidback, calm.

[Rory]

I. I thought that, but then I was like, all right, we. There's a mandre on there. That's.

[Damaris]

Yeah, yeah, Rory said it. Never mind. There's a mandre on there, which is.

[Rory]

Hilarious because a lot of people are going out. And that was in the group chat of like, oh, we'll all stay at the Mond. And I was like, so we're going to go to Mexico to.

[Damaris]

Yeah, to stay in la.

[Rory]

And by the way, you know, they just opened up a brand new so house in Mexico City. So I was like, all right, so we're gonna stay at the Mondrian and go to the Soho House. Yeah, I'll see y'all in West Hollywood in Mexico City. What the fuck are we doing?

[Mall]

People are just, you know, creatures of habits, man. Creatures of habit.

[Rory]

But no, I am excited to, like, fully explore Mexico City.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Because every time I go out there, I'm always in the outskirts.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like in the actual city.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I mean, you know, you and I got ran out of Mexico City by the federalis pretty quickly.

[Mall]

Oh, they loved us, man.

[Rory]

No, they. No, they didn't.

[Mall]

They pulled us over and just asked a few questions.

[Rory]

No one that's ever loved me has put an AR15 in my.

[Mall]

That's tough love.

[Rory]

Sitting there like Michael Jackson, like, no, I'm an American. I can't be treated this way.

[Mall]

I am a Democrat.

[Rory]

Saying that in Mexico is crazy means.

[Mall]

Absolutely nothing out there. But have fun. Be safe out there. Shout out to the. Everybody going. Shout out to the gang.

[Rory]

Julian, are you going?

[Damaris]

I. I was gonna. I called Rory because I have a group of friends going that are Airbnb and I was gonna jump on their trip and head down there for the week. But nah, the. The flight back, it was like a 10 hour layover in Houston.

[Mall]

Sick.

[Julian]

I mean, that's a nice hangover.

[Damaris]

I would leave Mexico at 10am, have to sit in Houston for 10 hours and get back to New York. Like 11pm like the now I was.

[Mall]

In Houston ain't bad.

[Damaris]

I don't know.

[Mall]

What am I gonna do?

[Julian]

That's all you need.

[Mall]

That sounds like a time.

[Damaris]

I don't know anyone in Houston.

[Mall]

You don't know anybody. You don't need to know anybody in Houston.

[Damaris]

I'll probably just go to the SO house. That's boring.

[Mall]

You know, I didn't even know they.

[Rory]

Had one in Houston.

[Damaris]

Yeah, they have the nice one.

[Mall]

One. Yeah, man.

[Rory]

I didn't know that flight was available.

[Damaris]

Wait, no.

[Rory]

Maybe I'll change my. My direct flight and do the 10 hour layover.

[Damaris]

Austin has a so house. My bad. I don't think he's.

[Mall]

Yeah, I was about to say I. I would have heard about 10 hours.

[Rory]

In Houston would be perfect. That's the perfect amount of time.

[Damaris]

Well, I just guess I just don't know the people down there yet.

[Mall]

Hey, Drake, Tom Stamp, that. Does he have a.

[Rory]

His 9am in Dallas would be the.

[Damaris]

Closest 10 hours in Houston.

[Mall]

It's crazy. You know what could happen in Houston in 10 hours if you know the right people. People.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Yo, that's a sick.

[Rory]

I've done that 10 hours, 10 times.

[Mall]

I gotta get to the airport. Oh, God.

[Damaris]

Doing that ten times is sick.

[Rory]

I used to fucking.

[Damaris]

Actually, I'm not gonna lie. We were on tour, we were in Houston. I had a lot of damn fun.

[Rory]

And that was the most mild Houston trip I've ever been on.

[Mall]

Aside from when y'all tried to take me to that. You took me to that party. That was. I still want to kill you about that. But whatever. It's all good. We'll be back in a couple days to kick it with y'all. Be safe, be blessed. Happy birthday, Rory. Have fun. Be safe and we'll kick it with y'all soon. I'm that nigga. He's just ginger. Happy birthday, Rory. No worry.
