Transcript

[Rory]

Philadelphia. We will be in your City live on July 25th at City Winery.

[Mal]

Yes, sir.

[Rory]

City of brotherly Love. Cheesesteaks, State property. Meek dream chasers. I'm just using all, like, the buzzwords for Philadelphia right now.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Joey Merlino.

[Damaris]

Go Eagles.

[Mal]

Go Eagles.

[Rory]

I mean, I guess to sell tickets, I'll say, go, Eagles.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

That's how committed I am to the city of Philadelphia. Newroarimal.com Tickets are available right now. Philadelphia, July 25th, City Winery. We will see you there. Where do you want to begin, Mo? Your silence is saying so much right now, scaring me. Yeah, I'm a little petrified right now.

[Damaris]

You haven't said a word. We've been in the studio for two hours.

[Rory]

We've been in the studio for two hours, chilling. You've not said a word yet.

[Mal]

Well, I'm. I'm, like, a little under the weather, so I'm just kind of saving my voice.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mal]

But we spoke all night, didn't we? We was on Discord all night.

[Rory]

Yeah, we was on Discord.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Our Patreon subscribers got to watch you watch Kendrick, which was fun.

[Mal]

I don't know if they watched me. I didn't have my camera on.

[Rory]

Well, I'd like to get into the mind of Maul in the last 48 hours, because I'm sure your mentions, comments, text messages, everything was running amok, I would imagine.

[Mal]

No, not really.

[Rory]

In leading up to this Kendrick and Friends show. No, it was pretty much just DJ Head and you that people were really looking for. Opinions of what?

[Mal]

Shout out to DJ Head. That was a great look for him last night.

[Rory]

It's a great set.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Shout out to you, J. Yeah. But I feel like that's kind of like your arch nemesis, even though you guys are cool. Because it is really, if you look at it, it's DJ Head with TDE and it's you with ovo, and I feel like you guys are just the Clash. It's the verses.

[Mal]

Is it?

[Rory]

Yeah. So now we need to do a show in New York where you bring out every New York artist ever. Mm.

[Mal]

Okay. Giving me a whack show.

[Rory]

Was that a shot at New York?

[Mal]

Yeah. New York music is trash right now.

[Rory]

No, but you could do, like, the. The legacy shit.

[Damaris]

No, you do the legacy stuff. Yeah. You bring out Nas and then Jay.

[Mal]

Oh. And that's the show. Like, you ain't got to bring nobody else after that.

[Rory]

You bring out Nicky. That's. That's you.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah. Oh, that's the show. That's it. It's over.

[Rory]

That's you.

[Mal]

Those three.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Show's over.

[Rory]

DJ Head was dressed like his iPhone was overheating.

[Mal]

Wait, what did you.

[Rory]

My brain's weird.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

But yes, your phone was not ringing off the hook going into the show, was it?

[Mal]

No, no, it was a couple mentions on. On, like, Twitter and Instagram and like, that people saying. I was. I was scared. I'm like, why would I be scared at this moment? I don't. I don't understand what people's thinking was. But overall, I think the. The event was dope. Um, it was good to see that many LA artists. A few that I know. Like, I've been listening to their music for a while and seeing them have been on the platform as big as last night being on Amazon, it was. It was dope. To see those artists get that look, that was fire.

[Rory]

Yo, Kendrick really might be the boogeyman.

[Mal]

Why?

[Rory]

You sound, like, really humbled right now?

[Mal]

Because I said it was like, yeah.

[Rory]

Just the tone and. Yeah, it feels like he really is the boogeyman.

[Mal]

Or did he just try share his platform with some dope artists last night?

[Rory]

He did his stuff.

[Mal]

Yeah, he did his stuff. But it was a good show, though. Overall, it was a good show. Kendrick set was a little. You know what Kendrick set felt like.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mal]

Remember when Chris Rock's comedy special came out after the Will Smith slap?

[Rory]

One of my favorite A listers. Yeah.

[Mal]

Remember how we watched it and we didn't really care about all the other jokes. We just wanted to hear him talk about Will Smith.

[Rory]

Yeah. I could see the masses wanted. I like Chris Rock, believe it or not, and I was excited for his material, but of course I wanted to. I wanted to.

[Mal]

We felt like, get to the Will Smith.

[Rory]

What's the Closer?

[Mal]

That's what watching Kendrick last night felt like. It was like, all right, seen Kendrick perform, went to the Mr. Morale show, seen him do some of these songs live, get to the. The climax, the moment that everybody is on Amazon or at the forum for.

[Rory]

I mean, he started with Euphoria, though. I feel like he came out the gate with what we were looking for.

[Damaris]

I think he did a good job of sprinkling in hits with the disc records. He kind of broke it up. He did Euphoria to Rory's point first, and then six, seven songs later, did 6:16 in LA and then found time to do like that, which in this case counts towards the beef.

[Mal]

It was dope seeing black hippie on stage too.

[Rory]

Yeah, it was great to see them.

[Damaris]

All together and Then close with Not Like Us five times.

[Rory]

Schoolboy Q look great. Love that entire portion. My actual only like, real hate of the set was actually the beginning after Euphoria. Amazing start. Love that. But this is going to sound crazy. DNA element. All right. Swimming Pools. I kind of didn't need that from Kendrick. Kind of to your point of like, get to the shits. I was there for the black hippie reunion. I want to see Kyle Greens happen with him in Schoolboy J. Rock Money Trees. Before that. I don't need your fucking biggest hits. I did not need Swimming Pools last night. I think it actually would have been cooler as the Pulitzer Prize winner to do like some ill B side shit in between these diss records. Like, did we really need DNA Element?

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Julian]

Yeah. Rory. Most people wanted to see that.

[Damaris]

And I argued this.

[Rory]

He's performed it so many times that I just. I just don't think it needed to happen.

[Julian]

He also has a bunch of new fans.

[Damaris]

Thank you. Thank you. He gained so much more attention from this beef. He needs to play hits. So we're talking about fans.

[Rory]

Somebody that had the. One of the highest grossing tours ever last year.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Is now sitting with his management going, like, we should really give him swimming pools for these new fans.

[Damaris]

Don't Platinum.

[Rory]

He should have done Sing About Me in between to show that he's the greatest rapper of this modern era.

[Damaris]

No, that's.

[Rory]

And then go into your dis records that Sing About Me is an awful record for this set.

[Julian]

He's an awful idea. Not awful record.

[Damaris]

It's a great record. But for this set list. Yes.

[Rory]

How you're saying.

[Damaris]

Okay, so your argument is he's an arena artist. He doesn't need to gain more. You can always gain more fans. You can always become a bigger artist.

[Rory]

Of course. But I'm saying he's not someone that's really in need of searching for new fans that he needs to do Swimming Pools.

[Damaris]

It's not a need. It's just. It's just smart. It's just how to continue to become a bigger artist, a more impressionable person music.

[Julian]

And I'm sure that LA people that were there that bought tickets and actually went to the show were very happy to hear Swimming Pools. I'm sure they had a ball.

[Damaris]

I had a ball.

[Julian]

I don't think he was doing it for Amazon Prime. I think he was doing it for the people that were there.

[Rory]

I. I think LA probably looks at Swimming Pools as Kendrick's worst single.

[Damaris]

Also, who is la? We were joking on the crowd in The Discord chat, It was just 90 white people in there.

[Mal]

It's California.

[Julian]

Yeah, California's like 90 white people.

[Damaris]

Well, the most is country's white, which I argued last night as well.

[Rory]

Like, that's when I knew the discord was going left. When we started arguing about the census report on Juneteenth.

[Damaris]

Well, they were saying rap is all. It's for black people. It's not. Rap is popular music. Popular music is for the populace. The populace is. 58 of this country is white people. White people love rap. That's the hard.

[Rory]

It's not even harsh reality.

[Damaris]

It's the reality.

[Mal]

White people have swimming pools.

[Rory]

That is funny.

[Damaris]

And they use them.

[Rory]

I know I'm gonna be painted as the hater for me just being mad and nitpicking swimming pools. I just really feel Kendrick is one of those artists that doesn't need to do that type of shit. He does whatever the fuck he wants to do. That's why I love Kendrick Lamar. That's why I thought it was weird that he did some of the bigger hits. I thought he could have taken that time. He just went on tour. I think he could have taken this time, in this moment to do some B side shit that proved how good of a rapper he is.

[Julian]

Yeah. I keep saying he just went on tour. That's what, like, what, two, three years ago?

[Rory]

Two years ago. But he was on tour for over a year. Like, you also have to include, like, Europe and. Yeah, he just got home relatively recently.

[Mal]

I think I understand what Rory's saying. I think you. You wanted to hear some of, like, the deeper cuts on the albums. Yeah. That you probably don't see him perform a lot.

[Rory]

Cause I understand this was a victory lap. Let's call it what it is. This was a victory lap. Nail in the coffin. I won this beef. We think he's putting an album out, but it's not like one came out last night. And this was a rollout for that. This was a moment for a victory lap. I just don't think he needed to do the regular shit that he's already done. Like, really make it a moment. Do not like us 15 times. I thought that was a genius move. But if we're gonna make this a moment for real. Yeah, give me some shit from section 80. Like, really make this a Kendrick moment. That's for the fans.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Not just a tour set that you did already.

[Mal]

I think it was a.

[Rory]

Because I watched with Mr. Morale, like, he did deep cuts in that entire thing. I. I don't know I get it. It was a party, so play swimming pools.

[Mal]

But I just think the bigger thing is like, what now? I think that last night we probably got the first look at what is probably going to be a continuous thing for Kendrick. Maybe it's a Lang festival, PG Fest or something like that. Because it felt like a festival last night. It was, it felt like a, you know, opportunity for a lot of LA artists to get seen on the stage by amount of people that they probably never performed in front of. It felt like a summer jam type of thing for la.

[Rory]

Yeah, for sure.

[Mal]

So it'll be interesting to see what Kendrick does as far as business wise with this type of show moving forward. Like, I don't think this, I mean, if I was, you know, part of his business team, this wouldn't be the last time we do something like this. Yeah, obviously it's something that I think they can continue to do maybe every summer, every Juneteenth, maybe something like that. Overall, the end of the show, having everybody on stage at that time, you know, a lot of people that have a lot of history personally with, you know, different areas of California, different gangs and things like that. To see a lot of these artists on stage together last night, Juneteenth, you know, beef aside, obviously that was a dope moment for California and I do hope it translates over. I don't. I hope it's not just a last night thing. I hope it translates further and you see more camaraderie like that. You see more people that historically probably wouldn't fuck with each other because of, you know, just history. Um, but to see them all on one stage last night having fun, you know, dancing together and things like that, I think that's a dope idea. Great energy and I would, I hope that it's not just a one and done thing. I think that Kendrick and his team should definitely look into doing something like this every year for California.

[Damaris]

You know what I learned from this? Watching this? There's no more powerful unifier than mutual hate, mutual shared hatred. Because this, because to your point, M, these are, these are gangs from all over California.

[Julian]

This was not, this was not.

[Rory]

This is not hate for Drake. That they're all on the stage like we're going to end gang violence because we hate Drake. That's not what my point is.

[Damaris]

This moment wouldn't happen. Had the whole beef not happened, this, this show wouldn't have been a thing.

[Julian]

No, it wouldn't have, but it could have been. It wouldn't have been, but that's my Point.

[Damaris]

We need the catalyst. The catalyst being the, this all like, I'm fine. We won't pin it all cumulatively on Drake, but that's a big part of this whole thing. So if this, if that, if the beef didn't happen, this moment would have never happened.

[Rory]

I don't. I guess that's kind of unfair to say because I don't know what Kendrick or all of the leaders that were on that stage do behind the scenes that we don't know about. Like, yes, yes, this happened because not like us existed and the rap beef happened. I don't think Kendrick does this show unless Drake beef happen. So, yes, I agree with you there, but I, I can't put it past everyone on that stage that they haven't been working on this idea for years. Kendrick's preached about this since the beginning of his career about unifying. Like, this is pretty much what Nipy was doing in the public before his, his passing of trying to unify gangs in la. So I'm not going to pretend like I know anything about it. I just wouldn't put it past these gentlemen that this was not a conversation that's been going on forever. I think they didn' decide, yo, fuck Drake, let's get on stage and do this.

[Mal]

I think it's two things could be true. I think that, I don't, I don't think that we get this show without the Drake beef because we never got the show before the Drake beef. Right? So that, but using it, using what it started as to then unify a city and, you know, a state. I think that it's a, a great move. It's like, yeah, we know what it's rooted in. We know what this, the energy is. It's obviously derived from a battle with one of the biggest artists in the world and Kendrick somehow turned it into the entire California versus that artist. Yeah, but you can't be mad at that. It's like, okay, cool, if that's what it is. But the bottom line is he used that moment and that energy that derived from something that could have been negative or could have been something that turned into something that is obviously you don't want to see. He used that to unite a city and to unite people that probably wouldn't have been in the same on the same stage with each other because they never were on the same stage with each other. So I think that it's a genius move. I think that it's a great move. I think Kendrick wanted this moment. Like you said, they probably spoke about Doing something like this behind the scenes and just used these last two months and things that occurred and records that would create. Created. He used all of that energy and turned it into something that he probably has been trying to figure out how to do for some years now. So, you know, beef. Like I said, beef aside, between him and Drake, what Kendrick did last night was dope for. For California.

[Rory]

And from what we understand, no incidents happened backstage at all. Like, that's incredible. The stage backstage, nothing happened. Yeah, that's incredible. With. With this scenario.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

My only. My only other issue, outside of swimming pools, which we talked about a few episodes ago, I don't really like this narrative that Kendrick, DJ Head, and the west coast has put on the rest of us, that we hate the West Coast. Since when? We love y'all. He even said in this record, people. People hate the west coast. And I'm fine with it. DJ Head was talking about that, too. We love y'all. You guys make incredible music. There's never been a time where I felt anyone has hated the West Coast.

[Mal]

I mean, that's just. I think that that's something.

[Rory]

That weird narrative to me.

[Mal]

Yeah. I think that's something that, you know artists. Cause it's not just. Well, if this was a artist from Atlanta, y'all don't fuck with the South. You know what I mean? It's like, that's just something in a moment that I think artists say regardless of where they're from. But I don't put too much credence on that. The people I know love California, love going to California, love visiting. I mean, Dr. Dre was there. Who don't know Dr. Dre. That's probably 40 years of hip hop right there in itself from the West Coast. So I don't put too much credence into that.

[Rory]

Maybe I'm out of touch. And that is something that's been happening but for my entire life. I have always loved the West Coast. They make incredible music in every era.

[Mal]

I think that it's just maybe, you know, because a lot of the artists haven't had mainstream success. A lot of the artists that were there last night, maybe. I don't know if, you know, it comes from that, but it's. That's just like I said, if this was an artist from the south, they would have say, oh, yeah, I don't fuck with the South. And it's like, what? Like, who doesn't fuck with the South? Like, so, you know, I don't. I don't. I don't put too Much.

[Rory]

Only Three Stacks had a point when he said that after that, we've loved Atlanta.

[Mal]

I think before that, we loved Atlanta.

[Rory]

Word.

[Mal]

You know what I'm saying? Like, I just. You know, I don't. I don't put too much into that. I don't put too much stock into artists. I think you almost are programmed to say that in certain moments. Like when it feels like it's, again, a battle or beef, it's like, yo, this is, you know, the West Coast. This is, you know, when Snoop and Suge was on stage for the Source Awards. You know what I'm saying? Y'all don't got love for the West Coast.

[Rory]

Like, yeah, but that means. That was. That was street shit.

[Mal]

Yeah, but I'm just saying, like, just that statement, though, that statement in itself is like, who at that time, I'm speaking for myself. Y'all were pretty young.

[Rory]

Yeah, it was.

[Mal]

You could not go anywhere in New York and not hear doggy style playing. Yeah, I mean, like, I'm just talking about. For me, like, I. I'm talking about somebody that was, like, in school, Walkman, walking around listening to Snoop, listening to Dre. In that moment, I was like, what is he talking now? In the room, in that room. I don't know what. I wasn't at the Source Awards, so I don't know what the energy was in that room, but outside that room, I was like, I can't walk anywhere in the Bronx and not hear Gin and Juice right now. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, what are you talking about?

[Rory]

And I mean, I thought the whole point of why Big was so important was cause finally New York had an artist when the west coast had everything on. Fucking Ready to Die is a West coast album. That's all fucking funk music.

[Mal]

Yeah, but, you know, I don't put too much stock into that. But overall, I do think that, you know, what Kendrick did last night was a really, really dope, dope look for all of those artists that was able to touch that. Shout out to Blue Blux, Kent Blue Bucks Clan. Shout out to Dom Kennedy. Shout out to Problem Tyler. Shout out to Tyler. Shout out to west side Boogie. Our homie love it. Shout out to somebody else that touched the stage last night.

[Julian]

Shout out to Tommy the Clown. First of all, as I was a crump kid, so just.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

And people took that tweet that I tweeted the wrong way. I think they thought I was the.

[Rory]

Domestic violence one or the no cuz.

[Mal]

I said Tommy the Clown. I said Tommy the Clown had a longer set than Tyler the Creator.

[Rory]

Yeah. Which was accurate.

[Mal]

It was accurate, but it wasn't to shit on Tommy the Clown. I was just like, I would have loved to see Tyler like get a couple more records off. Like, that's all. Like, I know where Tommy, trust me, I've been to la. I've been to parties where Tommy the Clown pull up. And I always spoke about. I spoke about it years ago. I said, yo, we. New York needs some shit like that. It's like the ice cream man pulling up and just giving kids ice cream. Except all of these kids hop out and start dancing. Like, that's some of the dopest shit ever. So that wasn't no disrespect to Tommy the Clown. People would take shit know out of context sometime.

[Rory]

I think it was a really cool moment for Tyler. And this is outside looking in east coast perspective, I could be wrong. I've always felt like the west coast really never validated Tyler as one of their own. He and he may have been done some of that on his own as well. Like he separated himself. But I've always felt even in like barbershop hip hop debates with west coast friends, they don't claim Tyler as theirs. So to me, this was a cool moment for Tyler.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like he is from la. I feel like people miss that.

[Mal]

Is he from la? Is he from California?

[Rory]

He's from Hawthorne Ladera Heights. Like that area.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Damaris]

Yeah, he's.

[Rory]

Yeah, well, he's from la. Like, for real? For real. I just don't think it's really ever connected with that LA scene. Like he's always been on the outskirts.

[Mal]

He's not the prototypical LA artist. He's not.

[Rory]

But at the same time he is. So he's so LA at the exact same time?

[Mal]

Yeah. Oh, no, for sure, for sure.

[Rory]

So I thought that was really cool for him to be in.

[Mal]

He was one of the people I was surprised to actually see. Honestly, I didn't know he was gonna be there. Like, he wasn't one of the names when we were throwing names around, he wasn't one of the names that people was like, Tyler, the creator's gonna be there.

[Damaris]

A couple set lists and photos leaked, like from the event themselves. And his name or face wasn't on any of the stuff. So he might have just been like a last minute edition.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Pulled up.

[Mal]

Either way, it was dope. It was dope to see him.

[Damaris]

Great moment.

[Mal]

Touch that stage.

[Damaris]

We were talking about euphoria in the. The set list. I just want to kind of go back here. He did say in Euphoria, we, we on Discord were speculating if he would change lines or maybe even add a new verse or whatever. He did change one line on Euphoria and he said, give me Tupac's ring back and I might give you a little respect. Thoughts on that?

[Rory]

I mean, cool Euphoria was also like a little all over the place. And I feel for him. I. I have no idea what it'd be like to rap a six minute song for the first time at the Forum. But like he up Euphoria a lot.

[Mal]

Yeah. I mean he probably forgot some of the verses.

[Rory]

Yeah. Which I'm giving him all the grace in the world.

[Mal]

Yeah. That's tough to remember all of those.

[Rory]

Bars and shout out to like Mike Carson and everyone that was doing the creatives because they had the fireworks that for specific moments. And I could tell they was freestyling because Kendrick just kept going back to other parts of it. Like Kendrick was all over the place. But that's, that's why I don't think much of that line mattered too much. It was more that Kendrick just kept trying to find his place in the entire song.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Okay, then what about let's go through people that were there. They panned to LeBron a bunch, obviously. Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, they joined him on stage. Whitney was there with their children. Dave Free was also in the building.

[Rory]

You mean his business partner that was producing the show?

[Damaris]

Well, you know, if they have that much bad of the blood, then who's to say who else? I mean, all of LA was there. So I looked at. Huh.

[Mal]

All of la.

[Damaris]

Most of la.

[Mal]

Most of la. Most of la. Yeah, some of la.

[Rory]

All of LA can fit in the Forum.

[Mal]

Yeah, of course they can. You know that.

[Damaris]

But I don't know, I look at that and I think, I try to look at that through the lens of like Drake has to be harboring some resentment because these are obviously people that he's collaborated with, worked closely with and probably respected and might still respect some of them, but I don't know.

[Rory]

Well, we, we were debating on Discord. I thought it was an L when YG came out. I think that's an L to Drake. If you start Family Matters, which is an incredible disrecord that YG is your man's and then he comes out at the disc concert against you and then is also singing along to Not Like Us at the end. To me that is an L. He also performed a song that Drake Was on. That's an L to me. In the scope of this beef, if we're placing L's on each person. Yeah, that's. That's an L. If I'm Drake, I would feel a fucking way too. But then if I'm yg, why did you even bring me into this? Why'd you add me to family matters?

[Damaris]

Because he. That's his guy.

[Rory]

Yeah, but I got nothing to do with this. Leave me the alone.

[Julian]

And also, I wouldn't even take, I mean, me personally, if I was Drake. I wouldn't take that personal. YG is like the, like, in the picture next to, like, Cali, there should be a picture of, like, yg. He was never gonna miss a moment like this.

[Rory]

You know, he shined his best church shoes for this.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

So, like, I wouldn't. If I meet personally if I was Drake, and I'm sure he's not, I wouldn't take that personal at all. Because that's more about LA than this beef. It's like a moment.

[Mal]

I don't think he takes it personal. I think he understands what this is. This is a moment for Cali, for la. I don't think he's that strung out on his ego to where it's like, nah, you better not go up there with Kendrick. I don't think it's anything like that. I think that I said it. I think in the beginning of this whole beef, I was like, it's funny the things you think that an artist that's entrenched in a battle like this would probably be doing at home and what they're going through. And then when you find out it's just a regular day and they just chilling and not worried about shit at all. It's like, oh. So I'm more concerned about this than the actual artists going through it. I think this is the same shit. I don't think Drake cared about YG being on stage or he's upset that YG was there. I don't think that the one person that was notably missing that I think is something to talk about is Game. I think that's Next point.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

The one person that was missing from the show, and I've been talking to some of my peoples out in Cali last night and, you know, just going back and forth and just. It was something to the extent of. I think that I don't know if. Does Cali with Game I. I wouldn't.

[Rory]

Know and wouldn't even want to speculate in that regard.

[Mal]

Only reason I ask that Is because even during the cat, though, even during the battle, Game had posted. He was. What was he watching? A Drake video. He's watching something along those lines. He had posted something that he was watching. I don't know if it was a Drake video, something he had posted. He was in the crib watching TV and everybody was like, yo, so that's what you're gonna post during this, this battle. And things like. And even then you go back to that post, it's a lot of people under the comments saying Cali turned their back on Game a long time ago. A Compton turned their back on Game a long time ago. And things like that. And these are things that I never knew and never heard. And I was surprised to hear some of this shit. And I was like, really? Like I was out the know on a lot of that shit. But the fact that Game wasn't on stage and he wasn't there last night adds some type of validity to those things. Like, do they fuck with Game?

[Rory]

I mean, he was vocal during this entire thing. Even dissed Rick Ross for Drake. Like that all started because of Drake. He was defending Drake. But everyone that even kind of played the middle YG included because I'm sure he's still cool with Drake, was invited and was on stage. So I, I think it's years and years of Game rubbing people the wrong way. I don't think it was just this one Drake situation. I think it has a lot to do with how Game has moved in the last 20 years. And again, I have no idea about west coast politics, but I can add. And Game is left out of a lot of west coast shit when it comes.

[Mal]

Which is, which is crazy because he's easily one of the biggest artists out of the west coast ever. So for him, Game is one of.

[Rory]

My favorite rappers of all time. I know that sounds crazy when you hear it. Game is one of my favorite rappers. He does not have a bad album.

[Mal]

He.

[Rory]

He also has a classic album which a lot of rappers don't have. He brought. He brought. Yeah, he might have to. He brought the west coast back single handedly. But I think just how he moves people are like, I don't really know about you, bro. Yeah, but I mean the gang politics shit. I'm just saying, like period. I think Game rubs people the wrong way.

[Mal]

Yeah. But a night like last night, I think a lot of things, a lot of people that was on that stage have rubbed each other the wrong way over, over the years.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Not in particular to this incident. Like this was. Yeah, but everybody on the Beef.

[Mal]

Yeah, but everybody last night wasn't there as a unification. On the Beef signal is Game and Drake.

[Julian]

I mean, Game and Drake. Sorry. Is game and Dr. Dre beefing? Were they ever beefing at a time?

[Rory]

Yes, at all times. You never know. I think Game and apologies for putting this on his jacket and not being a fucking psychiatrist. I think Game is bipolar. I think Game is autistic.

[Mal]

You love. I think diagnosing people, man. I do that a lot.

[Rory]

I think. I think Kanye and Game, we need a lot.

[Mal]

Somebody to keep it. Keep a track of how many people Rory has diagnosed.

[Damaris]

Psychology book.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, we need, like, he's diagnosed at least four, like, icons with, like. Oh, it's.

[Rory]

I think. I think. I think Game and Kanye are extremely similar. Just one is a pyu and one is, like, an artsy guy, so he gets more passes. We forgive Kanye Moore for a lot of shit. Game is the same. He's just a fucking blood, so we don't give him the same grace. Game has done a lot of fuck. Shit. He's insane. I think he's mentally ill, but he's also an incredible artist, and I think that has a lot to do with why he's not invited to any of these things. I think he's done a lot of shit behind the scenes where people are like, yo, I can't deal with his brain.

[Mal]

He.

[Rory]

You never know what you're going to get with Game. Yeah, but he's been bipolar since he came out. What are you laughing about?

[Damaris]

No, I was just gonna play. I was gonna do illegal. These thoughts are. Rory and only Rory's a.

[Mal]

He's bipolar and he's autistic and he's. What else?

[Rory]

No one has been more of a supporter vocally of Game than me. I told Jay Z to his face that Game's a better rapper than Rick Ross. When we argued, this is how I. With Game. Like that.

[Mal]

He's a blood.

[Rory]

He is just.

[Mal]

He's a. He's a bipolar.

[Rory]

I just think he's bipolar. Yeah.

[Mal]

Autistic. Yes. Something else you said Piru. No, I said that already.

[Damaris]

The.

[Rory]

The video Autistic pirate.

[Damaris]

The video you guys were referencing was him on his story, listening to this was on April 16th, by the way. He was playing energy. And then I guess he wrapped along to the line. I got a. I got rap niggas that I gotta act like I like, so.

[Mal]

And I said that in one of our chats.

[Damaris]

This is in the middle of the beef.

[Rory]

Oh, there's too Much of a wild card, man.

[Mal]

I said that in the chat this morning because we was talking about game in the chat with. With Drama and them.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

And I said I think the game wasn't there last night because he probably doesn't want to be a part of what he feels like is fake shit.

[Rory]

And I think game is with all the fake shit.

[Mal]

But. All what fake shit, though?

[Rory]

I think he's totally fine with the fake. Like, he's done it his whole career again. He's a wild card. You never know what side he's on, what he's going to say, how he's feeling. Yeah. I think game is with all the fake.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

And I know it sounds like disrespectful, but. Because I don't know the man personally, but.

[Mal]

Yeah, you don't know the game personally.

[Rory]

I've never met the game.

[Mal]

You sound like. You sound like you talk to him all the time. You just diagnose, like, three personality disorders.

[Rory]

I'd love to be. I'd love to be friends with Game.

[Mal]

I thought you was talking like you.

[Rory]

Can'T observe people and think after 20 years of a public figure that you could have some idea that maybe they're not mentally stable. Yeah.

[Mal]

Yeah, but that's. That's. That goes without.

[Rory]

Don't make me sound distance, because I know it's up to put that on someone's jacket, but I do it a lot. I know he's as Burgers all the way down the checklist.

[Damaris]

Gorgeous.

[Mal]

Asperger's bipolar.

[Damaris]

He's adding things.

[Mal]

Yeah. You know, all right, I get it.

[Rory]

Uh, he's a Gemini. I don't know.

[Mal]

Yeah, we.

[Damaris]

We briefly address Malz.

[Mal]

The. The.

[Damaris]

The DV tweet. Um, did you want to ma. Talk about the. This. The hypocrisy in this or. Or your thoughts in that moment? Because you did speak about it a little bit in the discord.

[Julian]

Dr. Dre got a weird case. Why is he around?

[Mal]

Oh, the DV set.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Which DV set was lit?

[Damaris]

Currently on our screen here.

[Mal]

Yeah, I mean, listen, man, Everybody's Crip walking and hooting and hollering to certified pedophile, which I think is crazy. I can't say this DV set is lit. Everybody's screaming a minor.

[Rory]

Blood and Crips coming together over a pedophile anthem is hilarious.

[Mal]

So that's cool. Amazon gave Kendrick a crazy bag for last night surrounded by a pedophile record. Right. Damn.

[Damaris]

I didn't even think about. Sorry, just sidestep. There's no way Drake works with Amazon in the future, right? No, there's no way. You don't.

[Mal]

Yeah, I don't get into that.

[Rory]

But Tim and Kendrick have a relationship well before the straight beef. Like, they've always done stuff together. Even Mr. Morale. Amazon and Kendrick have had a great relationship because Tim is from Compton. Like, that's always going to be that way. I don't think Drake's going to. With them moving forward. But this wasn't like a spite. The way people have the conspiracy that Spotify hates Drake. That's why we get Not Like Us even when we're listening to, like, Japanese jazz music. And then all of a sudden, I get. All of a sudden I'm listening to Not Like Us out of. No, I'm listening to Baby Shark. And then it goes into Not Like Us.

[Mal]

Yeah, they gonna push it so.

[Damaris]

Well, it kind of.

[Rory]

I don't think that's the case with Amazon because. Because Tim and Kendrick have always had a really good relationship. That's Compton.

[Mal]

Yeah, Yeah, I get it.

[Rory]

But to the dv, I'm not here to give you pushback. I'm fine with saying Dr. Dream, the legend that he is, the genius that he is, is a piece of. I know it's. It's taboo to say that Dr. Dre is a piece of.

[Mal]

Man, you can't go to LA no more. That's it. That's it.

[Rory]

I stay in Western Illinois.

[Mal]

No more saddle rants for you.

[Rory]

Never mind. Dr. Dre is a pretty good guy, man. What. What did that woman do to him to make him react that way?

[Mal]

Yeah, man. Yeah, but no, that tweet was just, you know, y'all sitting.

[Rory]

I say, Roy, Roy, when I'm the only one that will say Dr. Dre's a piece of shit that beats women.

[Julian]

Yes, I know, and I appreciate that.

[Rory]

On a public platform.

[Julian]

Stop yelling at me. I appreciate you saying it.

[Mal]

You about to catch this DV set. About to be crazy.

[Rory]

What the fuck you trying to say to me right now?

[Mal]

Hey, this DV set right here is wild.

[Rory]

Stop with me.

[Mal]

This DV pod is lit.

[Julian]

Like.

[Mal]

Yeah, but people was mad that I tweeted that. Like, y'all niggas are sitting here doing the merry go round to certified pedophile. I'm sorry, you is. You is. You is jumping up in Westbrook shaking his ass. All these. All you niggas up here. I say the DV set is fire. And N is like, yo, you corny. You glazing. You a dick rider.

[Damaris]

What?

[Julian]

Shaking his ass Is so funny.

[Mal]

You know Russ going to dance. He do that at the game, before the game. You know he going to do that at the Forum. I ain't mad at it, but niggas can't be mad at me for tweeting. This DV set is crazy. What are we talking about?

[Rory]

The only pushback I'll give you is I don't know that. That's a fact about Kendrick. We know it's a fact about Dr. Dre. I don't know that.

[Mal]

Okay? People don't know. People don't know. It's a fact about Drake being a pedophile. That didn't stop Amazon from giving this $10 million last night. Did that stop Amazon from giving this a bag last night? And everybody's sitting around. We was on Discord watching this.

[Rory]

I was watching a pedophile anthem with my daughter.

[Mal]

This is what I'm saying. So Amazon, so now want to pick and choose what they're like. Get out of here with that. People don't understand what I do when I sit here. All I do is mirror the shit that y'all on. That's what y'all like. Okay, cool. I'm just gonna show y'all, like, you know, this is the same shit over here. It's the same shit. But the fact that y'all like that, and I'm saying okay, but I think this is dope. Oh, you glazing. You a dick rider. How? This is certified DV. That's certified. Dr. Drake's case was years ago. I know he's probably a different man. I get it. But it happened. We ain't gonna act like it didn't happen. I'm old enough to remember.

[Rory]

It happened more than once.

[Mal]

I'm old enough to remember. I'm old enough to remember, right? Cool. But now y'all sitting up here dancing the certified pedophile, and there ain't no certification. But I'm a glazer.

[Julian]

Okay, I'm on your side more.

[Mal]

I'm just saying, man. I'm just trying to. I'm. Listen. All I'm trying to do is show that niggas pick and choose sides and what they want to support and what they like. Why I can't pick and choose what I like? Why I got to be glazing when I pick who I like?

[Julian]

I also feel like.

[Mal]

But it ain't glazing where you niggas are shaking y'all ass to. Certified pedophile.

[Rory]

You got to glaze what everyone likes.

[Mal]

And when he dope, you Niggas is twerking and shit. I can't.

[Rory]

Like, it was cool camera angles when they did it.

[Mal]

Like, you know, say all the girls shaking. They would twerking a. If Drake DM'd you bitches right now, Y'all would run.

[Rory]

Y'all would say separate.

[Mal]

Y'all would tell y'all meniscus running to the studio to go. Go see that. You would tell your fucking Achilles to go running.

[Rory]

Like, we never thought Horace had loyalty.

[Mal]

No, I'm. I'm just. All I'm saying is people got mad at my tweet yet we looking at a sold out Amazon event about a pedophilia record. What are like, what the fuck is the world? What's going on in the world right now? Am I in the fucking matrix or something?

[Rory]

I had a lot of text messages after your. Your tweet.

[Mal]

Good.

[Rory]

And people wanting me to give you pushback.

[Mal]

Good, good. Fuck them.

[Rory]

And I'm here to support you because I agree.

[Julian]

I do think that it's extremely tone deaf of Kendrick to bring Dr. Dre up on the stage when you were accused of the same thing that everyone.

[Mal]

Knows that doctor it ain't tone deaf. It ain't tone deaf. Niggas don't care. Niggas don't care. That's the bottom line. It ain't tone deaf.

[Rory]

And they'll care if the masses decide that he's a piece of shit.

[Mal]

And the masses won't decide that because.

[Julian]

The masses don't really.

[Mal]

Because the masses don't care. Because the masses. You know what? The masses do the same. So when you start having them, you see how the east side of the room got weird and awkward. Niggas don't want to have them conversations. Niggas want to shake ass all night. No. Well, let's talk about what's going on. Let's talk about what we seeing right now. Y'all don't want to have that conversation. Y'all just want to have fun. Yo, Drake is dead. Your man is finished. How much OVO paying you? What? What are y'all talking about? Paying me? Paying me for what? It's my opinion. Nah, that's not what's happening here. I'm just laughing at all this. I have fun with this because don't want to have real conversations.

[Rory]

People pick and choose. Because if Kendrick would have brought out Puff last night, what do you think the world would have said?

[Mal]

What you mean what they would have said?

[Rory]

Amazon would have taken the bag, they would have cut the stream.

[Julian]

They would have cut the stream for sure.

[Mal]

Would they?

[Rory]

But yes.

[Mal]

I don't know, man.

[Julian]

I believe so, yeah.

[Mal]

I don't know.

[Rory]

The masses have decided that Puff is canceled.

[Mal]

Dre, on the other hand, Puff is canceled right now.

[Rory]

He gets an applause when he goes on stage.

[Mal]

He's canceled right now.

[Julian]

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if niggas reached.

[Mal]

Puff is canceled right now. What's up?

[Rory]

When he finds Jesus, then he'll just be forgiven and that. We already know that.

[Mal]

All I'm saying is. All I'm saying is we've seen this before, and we've seen enough or I've seen enough to know that in moments, yeah, people will be like, oh, that's fucked up. He. You know, that's what you did is foul. But it's only some that's gonna stand on that forever. And me included. I've sat next to niggas I never should have sat next to. I recognize that I'm a sucker for that, though. And I got some learning and some growing to do about myself from that. But at least I'm man enough to sit here and say that, though. You see what I'm saying?

[Julian]

Amen.

[Mal]

But niggas don't wanna have them conversations. So I'm gonna let n continue to stream Amazon shit and have fun. Shout out to Kendrick, though. Like I said, I do think last night. No, all jokes aside, I do think last night was beautiful for California. I do think that Kendrick has been trying to figure out a way to do something like that for a long time. So it was beautiful. But again, I hope that this translates and continues away from last night. I don't want to open Instagram next week and see that one of these gentlemen that was on stage last night met an untimely demise. Tired of that. I don't want to wake up and hear that it's all kind of shit going on in the streets, you know, that we done been through and seen. If last night was able to happen, then we can make that happen again. We can continue to have that energy, continue to have this type of support and continue to come together for shit like this. Because at the end of the day, we all from this culture called hip hop. Whether it's a beef or not, we all from this culture of hip hop. We grew up in this shit. We live in these streets, we live in these communities. And if we gonna come together for something like last night, then let's let that translate over into when we go home and back to our communities, back to our schools and Things like that. Like, let that energy continue. That's all I'm saying. Don't let it just be a moment, you know, and then that's it. And we go back to regularly scheduled bullshit. Let's continue this shit. Like, let's continue to do dope shit like that. Let's do this shit every year. Let's do this shit in different cities. Let's do something like this in the South. Let's do something like this in New York. Let's do something like this, you know, in the uk, let's do something like, if we gonna do this thing called hip hop, let's do it like it's supposed to be done. That's all I'm saying. Fuck the beef. Shit cool. Go at each other, diss each other, make great records. We love that. But let it stay like this. Let it stay. At the end of the night, we all on stage from different sets, different gangs, different hoods, but we all here under this one cause and this one umbrella called hip hop.

[Damaris]

Amen.

[Rory]

Yeah, man, it was a really incredible night. I also just want to go back. I was so happy for my friend, Westside Boogie. One of my favorite Sway freestyles is him over sing about me and he's rapping that Kendrick is his actual idol. So to have that moment at the end, I was just happy for my friend because I know he idolizes Kendrick.

[Mal]

Shout out to boogie. That's my nigga. One of my favorite artists. Definitely one of my favorite rappers out the west coast. But you can't be three years younger than your idol. Money don't do that to my nigga. I love.

[Rory]

Wait, hold on. Let's look at the ages. How far. How far apart are they?

[Damaris]

About two and a half years, bro.

[Rory]

Listen, you can't rap over your idol's beat on Sway and say, yo, you my idol.

[Mal]

Your idol can't be three years older than you. I don't give a fuck what you talking about. That's your that you write you got shot Locker. Yeah, like, y'all niggas is right next to kids. The out of here. I wish I can't be in high school with my idol.

[Rory]

You was never like a freshman looking up to. To a senior.

[Mal]

Looking up to a senior. Yeah. Like, yo, it was some scenes that I thought was cool. Like, he a cool right here. He got all the chicks. Like, I like his style. I with that right there. But my idol, get the out of here.

[Julian]

Well, maybe it just rhymed better on the song.

[Mal]

Nah, don't do that Boogie Know how boogie. Know how to rhyme.

[Rory]

He ain't got.

[Mal]

He ain't got to do that to try to rhyme.

[Rory]

Know how to rhyme.

[Mal]

He ain't got to. He ain't got to call the idol to try to rhyme. Like, he ain't got to do that. That. He ain't got to do that.

[Julian]

They're gonna say you hating off.

[Mal]

Of course they are. I don't give. You think I keep the marriage, you know, I don't give a. About none of these.

[Julian]

I know. I agree with you, though. Your idol can't be three.

[Mal]

Your idol can't be three years older than you, man. What type of that.

[Rory]

He said he was coming for a spot, like, in the freestyle, too, but was just like, yo, I'm. You're my idol. Actually, I. I'm. I'm with you. I take it back. Yeah.

[Mal]

I just.

[Rory]

You can't be three years apart.

[Mal]

Idol. First of all, do we know what the word idol means?

[Julian]

Yeah, I do.

[Mal]

It might say, yo, your idol can't be three years old. It might say that in Webster. Your idol can't be only three years old.

[Julian]

Well, who's your idol? So we can do some. My idol nesting Your idol.

[Damaris]

Drake.

[Rory]

They can't have idols.

[Mal]

Yeah, we got idols. We got idols.

[Damaris]

Jesus. Kenan.

[Mal]

Ivy Waynes is one of my idols.

[Julian]

Okay. You wanted to be a comedian.

[Mal]

No, just as far as creating and building platforms and comedy and movies and shit like that. Writing. Definitely. Keenan Ivy Waynes.

[Julian]

Okay. How old is keenan Ivy?

[Damaris]

He's 66.

[Rory]

Okay, so he's like, three years apart from him.

[Mal]

Yeah, three years older than me.

[Rory]

I don't know if I, like, ever had an idol. I know it sounds, like, depressing. So, Derek, to unpack now with my therapist in the moment right now.

[Julian]

Jeter wasn't your idol.

[Rory]

I love it. Wasn't my idol, though. I don't know if I ever had, like, an idol. And that's probably my dad's fault because isn't that, like, supposed to be your first idol?

[Mal]

Well, your parents. Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah. They up all the idols for me.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Mal]

But I think.

[Rory]

I mean, I guess hove I was always an idol to me. I don't know.

[Mal]

Yeah. Somebody like. But again, as long as they're not somebody that. Again, three years is like, that's my friend. Yes.

[Rory]

Book is from, like, the exact same block as Kendrick. Like, they're from the exact same community in Compton, like, specifically.

[Mal]

Which. Yeah. Which makes it even worse.

[Julian]

They played on the block together. They rose, they rode scooters together.

[Rory]

All right. Y'all didn't have someone in your neighborhood?

[Mal]

I go punch that in the face right now. Yeah. Yes. You have older guys on your block in your neighborhood? That I just said. It was some seniors when I was in high school and I was a freshman. I look at them, I'm like, damn, son is cool. Like, all the girls like him.

[Damaris]

Son is cool.

[Mal]

You know? Like, I fuck with him. Like, I like that dude right there. Cool. Anytime we interact, it's always love. But I wasn't saying, yo, that's my idol right there, yo. Like, I want to be like that nigga. What?

[Rory]

All right, see, that's not fair. So one of my friends on my block, I just posted on my Instagram the other day, Jerome, who's three years older than me, I looked up to him. He ended up in jail, so there wasn't much of like a.

[Mal]

So you ain't look up to him. You ain't go to jail.

[Rory]

But he didn't do an Amazon Prime Forum show. Like, I feel like I still would have looked up to him had he done what Kendrick did. Yeah, but he was three years older than me.

[Julian]

But you would never say out loud that he was your idol.

[Rory]

And you might have if he did what Kendrick did.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, but you wouldn't. You wouldn't have said that.

[Rory]

He's not my idol now.

[Mal]

No, but you wouldn't have said that if you was acting like. If, say, if he was. He was making music and you made.

[Rory]

He made music.

[Mal]

He did.

[Rory]

And you wasn't a huge fan.

[Mal]

He's your idol.

[Rory]

No, he was my man's, though. And I looked up to him because he was older now. If he went on to make good Kid Mad City, yeah. I might have idolized him more.

[Mal]

That's glazing. That's glazing right there.

[Rory]

That's a friend.

[Mal]

That's glazing, right?

[Julian]

It's a little too.

[Damaris]

You said he wasn't talented enough for you.

[Rory]

Damn.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I can't idolize like that.

[Julian]

I had school.

[Rory]

He in prison. He's not gonna get it.

[Julian]

I had a normal idol. My idol was Janet Jackson. Still is. Probably.

[Damaris]

That's normal.

[Julian]

Julian, did you have.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Julian]

That's a normal idol. Like, someone you look up to.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Oh, well, Kanye.

[Julian]

Yeah, obviously.

[Damaris]

Yeah, Kanye.

[Rory]

And I'm crazy for idolizing Jerome.

[Damaris]

You idolize Kanye, too.

[Rory]

I don't know if. Can we look up the definition of idolize? I revere Kanye for sure. I don't know if I idolize him.

[Mal]

If you was in the same room with Kanye. Would you get nervous?

[Rory]

I've been in rooms with Kanye more.

[Mal]

Than once, and that's nervous.

[Rory]

The first time I was.

[Mal]

That's your idol.

[Rory]

I get. I get nervous in the room with bad bitches. They're not my idol.

[Mal]

Yes, they are.

[Damaris]

And I do want to.

[Rory]

I'll do anything for that.

[Mal]

You want to be a bad lies.

[Damaris]

To admire and respect someone very much. Often too much.

[Rory]

The way LeBron would say it.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Too much.

[Damaris]

He's too good.

[Mal]

You like this too much.

[Damaris]

He's too important in my Life.

[Rory]

You know, LeBron was in the crowd saying, give him one more.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

It's probably not like us one more time.

[Mal]

No. The reason why Kendrick did that song so many times, because LeBron was like. And again, one more.

[Rory]

A deluxe.

[Mal]

Here go. Two more for y'all.

[Julian]

I'm assuming this is kind of like Stan culture, but before you hit, like, stand, it would be like idolizing someone like you that you think they can do no wrong.

[Rory]

The often too much is throwing me. Throwing me off here.

[Damaris]

Well, it's a bit. It's teetering on obsessive.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Like the. That they can't do. Which. Which I will gladly take my hat off and say, I guess where I once idolized Kanye, this is. Since 2017, my thoughts on him have changed drastically. He is not someone that I've looked up to in a very long time.

[Mal]

Also, you mean the true. That ain't your true right? Because if you idolize somebody, it's too thick and thin.

[Rory]

No.

[Damaris]

Yeah. So I think I don't to the point of the definition, I guess I don't have.

[Mal]

But then again, you have. You have the. You have the. The college dropout beer tattered on your arm. So that's maybe.

[Rory]

That's idolized.

[Damaris]

Maybe memorialized.

[Mal]

No, that's gay. Oralized.

[Rory]

Ate that quadruple entendre. Listen, we're still going.

[Mal]

Don't even ask me.

[Rory]

But you're fickle. Because I still idolize game through his mental health reason.

[Mal]

You don't idolize. You see how we start doing words? You don't idolize the game, bro.

[Rory]

I don't think I idolize anyone.

[Mal]

But you definitely don't idolize the game.

[Rory]

Fan of games.

[Damaris]

Oh, you a fan?

[Rory]

I'm not a fan of game now.

[Julian]

No. He does idolize. Who did y'all go see with? Terrace Martin.

[Damaris]

Oh, James Fauntleroy. That's your idol.

[Julian]

That's your idol for sure.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

You were yelled out loud, shaking in your booth.

[Mal]

You yelled out loud. He was like, whoa. He said you did that cocaine, 80s.

[Rory]

Play anything from here.

[Mal]

Yeah, exactly.

[Damaris]

But that does the jazz. That does remind me of our. Rory and I had a night last night.

[Mal]

Yo.

[Damaris]

With that.

[Rory]

Yeah. After all those entendres, y'all just did that.

[Damaris]

A couple of idols.

[Julian]

A night in New York.

[Mal]

Had a night on the town. We did have a bit of painted town brown.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Okay. Would you go.

[Rory]

Where do you think we went?

[Mal]

Last lap.

[Rory]

There you go.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

See how easy that guess was?

[Mal]

Yeah. Y'all went to last lot. Masego was hosting.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Don't. Don't say yeah like that, and then look at me. Don't say yeah, like that, and then look at me like that. What did I say?

[Rory]

You were looking away because I.

[Mal]

Because I saw you about to look at me, and I don't want to lock eyes with another man.

[Rory]

So. Come on, look at me. Look at me.

[Damaris]

Come on.

[Mal]

Look. I'm laughing in my fucking throat. Did Masego host? Because we talked about it before we left. All right. How was it?

[Rory]

It was good. I realized that it is really over for me.

[Mal]

What do you mean? Like, going.

[Rory]

Masego came with some of the prettiest women I've ever seen in my life. He came with a squad of, like, my types. There was, like, 17 my types. Everyone had curly hair.

[Damaris]

Yeah, it was copy paste. Everyone was, like, five four. Curly hair.

[Mal]

Oh, man.

[Julian]

Damn.

[Rory]

I don't know why you had to take it at 5 4. That's crazy.

[Mal]

That's like being at Whole Foods and they just put the avocados out.

[Rory]

Why you clock my type like that? That's weird that you even know the.

[Damaris]

Height as soon as we sat down. Because Rich, my friend Rich, was with us as soon as we sat down. Like, this is Rory's bag, right? Like, this is it.

[Rory]

And what did I do but fumble everything. I'm. I'm just not even being faithful. I have an issue even, like, flirting.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's real.

[Rory]

Like, it's really over. There's no hope for me.

[Julian]

They're gonna kill Rory. I'm not gonna kill Rory.

[Rory]

Why?

[Julian]

Last sentence. Even being faithful. Like, I have an issue even flirting. Why are you trying to flirt?

[Mal]

Y'all do it. First of all, women that are faithful to their man, they flirt too.

[Damaris]

Get some raps.

[Julian]

Listen, I believe flirting is healthy and that everyone should flirt. I. I'm not. I said that the women are going to kill Rory. That was my initial statement.

[Rory]

Oh. I thought it was very beautiful what I just said. I thought that Was the most honest thing a man could say. Being faithful.

[Damaris]

Poetic justice.

[Rory]

I. Yeah. I couldn't even get in my bag to flirt because I felt bad. I. I'm not even. I don't even know what to say to women.

[Julian]

You made it.

[Rory]

She, like, even, like, was even trying to give me, like, laughs and rhythm. She was trying to help me through the whole thing.

[Damaris]

Talk you through it.

[Rory]

Like, if it was over, we would have went down to the bathroom at that point with the rhythm I was getting, and I was just fumbling every last thing. She was, like, leaving openings for me to say something, and I was just like, yeah, this is my daughter. You want to see a photo?

[Mal]

You're that guy now. I just.

[Rory]

I didn't know what I was doing there.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Julian]

Was he an actual fly on the wall? This.

[Mal]

Embrace it.

[Damaris]

No. Well, first off, Mao is the man.

[Rory]

What a.

[Damaris]

What a cool guy.

[Mal]

I mean, you idolize him.

[Damaris]

No.

[Mal]

Okay, I'll just. I'm just asking. I'm just checking the world.

[Damaris]

He is tall. So I looked up to him like that, naturally. Yeah. No, we had a good time. I.

[Rory]

But I did feel bad cuz Sego came, like, with all those women, and I felt like I let everyone down because, like, they were bored.

[Damaris]

No, I didn't talk to them. We had that whole corner.

[Rory]

Yeah. But then they moved to the steps. I could tell they was looking for somebody to like, like them.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I just didn't have it.

[Mal]

They was hoping Michael B. Jordan walked in that night. Last night, probably.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I mean, I was hope. I was hoping.

[Mal]

Yeah. Talking about idols, take some of the pressure off of you.

[Rory]

No, I would have been right next to him. What are you working on, sir?

[Mal]

Ew.

[Rory]

I would have moved the girls away.

[Mal]

I'm glad Julia said oh, because I.

[Rory]

Was gonna say it, but I'm joking.

[Mal]

No, I know, but it's still nasty, though.

[Rory]

Yeah, just.

[Mal]

It's all right, man. It happens, bro. We all get to that point where it's just like, what do you want, man? This is. This is all I got.

[Rory]

Like, I. I was even nice at, like, flirting with my girl's friends in a respective way. Like, I know how to tow that line. I couldn't even do that last night. Yeah, like, innocent flirting. It was. It was very bad. And then I just turned over to Julian and Rich and wanted to talk about aliens. And instead of the seven bad bitches that were sitting next to me, we.

[Damaris]

We laughed once.

[Mal]

Y'all wonder why I don't go out with you, right?

[Rory]

Damaris Was actually discussing.

[Julian]

I'm like, why they ain't. Why y'all ain't called a bad masters.

[Damaris]

Like, we went to another bar and then they were talking about aliens and conspiracy theories until three in the morning.

[Julian]

Who y'all don't get?

[Damaris]

No, Rich and Rory. We were seated at the bar. I was falling asleep sitting upright. I was so tired. We were all. Rory and I were hammered. Rich, yeah. Behind us. But they were going at it. And then you want to do the. The Abraham Lincoln bit. This is where we ended up.

[Rory]

At one point, it got so bad with our debates that I started lying about reading Abraham Lincoln's autobiography to try to get my point across to Rich. And he was like, which one did you read? I was like, the one about his life, like in the middle of a full one week where I was clearly fucking lying.

[Mal]

The one where he's a vampire.

[Damaris]

Because Rich said, I read his biography. And Rich just without a beat goes, which one?

[Mal]

And Roy's like, the one, the one, the only one.

[Rory]

It was me. It was me. Coming off, Alex Haley wrote it. A very passionate point about how Abraham Lincoln really defined our two party system. And he's the reason this country's fucking awful. And that that whole he freed the slaves thing is just a marketing ploy. Was screaming this. And then Rich just came with facts. And I was like, yeah, no, I read. I read the book.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I was like, Rory, he's like one of the biggest history buffs.

[Mal]

I know.

[Rory]

He smoked me. The debate.

[Mal]

This is his.

[Rory]

But sometimes when you know you're about to lose, you just have to lean all the way in and be like, bro, of course I've read the book. Page seven. Like, what are we talking about?

[Mal]

Who didn't read it?

[Rory]

The aliens and the nukes?

[Mal]

Like, you sounded like LeBron in the bubble.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

When they was like, yeah, so what? What do you like about Malcolm X? You know, such a smart man has.

[Damaris]

So much knowledge up there, bro.

[Mal]

I said he was a smart man. Yo, that type of. That type of commitment is to be honored, though. Like, if a. A lying like that, it's a you want on your team. Yo, he ain't gonna snitch like that. LeBron said he was a smart man. Like, we. That's what's up, bro.

[Rory]

You know where I also fumbled and realized that I was trash. I used to be really good at that. Talking to women about their careers. I gave up. When that beautiful curly head chick was talking about getting her life together. She was young. She was like, yeah, I'M about to move out of my parents house. This is what I want to do as my career. These are my dreams. I used to smoke that back. I was just like, yeah, hopefully it works out.

[Mal]

So you got good luck.

[Rory]

I had nothing.

[Mal]

Yeah, I'm worse than that.

[Rory]

I tell them I could have manipulated that situation so well and made that girl feel like she was about to achieve every last thing in her life.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But I just sat there and was like, I mean, listen, shit happens. Yeah, good luck.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's what I had. God bless.

[Rory]

I don't remember.

[Damaris]

The girl that she was across from us was beautiful too. She was from Colorado Springs.

[Mal]

Smoke show.

[Damaris]

Oh my God. And we're so lame. They're arguing about politics. We're standing outside the bar and we're like, damn, we should have, like, talked, whatever. And as we're saying this, they walk by us. They literally. The whole herd walks right by us. We just look at them like, there they are.

[Rory]

So we left. We left, right? We debated for two hours in another bar after we fumbled everything. And then God brought the same group of women to walk past us at 3:30 in the morning to say, guys, give it another try. And we all just sat there like, yeah, get home safe.

[Julian]

God, you guys are losers.

[Rory]

Super losers.

[Damaris]

Yeah, we're pretty lame.

[Rory]

Yeah, I was kind of happy about that. I'm going to talk about this with my therapist. I was happy of how lame I felt.

[Mal]

That's good. Like, I got. You got to lean into that sometimes. Like, listen, I don't. This is. That's what I got.

[Rory]

I also, like, don't care.

[Mal]

That's when you read the master level.

[Rory]

When you're beautiful but cool. All right.

[Mal]

Yeah, I know. I know how this is gonna go. Like, yeah, it is what it is.

[Rory]

Yeah. You're 24 and moving out of your parents house. I don't ever want.

[Damaris]

I can't relate at all.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

Like, I don't ever text me.

[Mal]

Yeah, it happens, man. We all get to that point.

[Rory]

But they were like cool chicks. That's. That's where I'm saying it was depressing on the Fumble. It's not like they were just pretty stupid. Yeah, they were pretty and cool and they were looking to like, talk with people and we were just like in the corner like aliens.

[Julian]

Gross.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Yeah. You would have loved it. You should have came.

[Mal]

Belichick would have cleaned up last night. He would have been walking with all of them right past y'all.

[Rory]

I can't wait for people to hear our patreon episode about Belichick.

[Damaris]

Voicemails.

[Mal]

Let's do it. You've got mail.

[Damaris]

Well, I was gonna play this relationship one, but since you're on the topic of not getting pussy, here's just a really nasty one. Yeah, this is nasty one. This one's pretty sick.

[Mal]

You're a big fan of the pot coming from Philly. I got my homegirl with me, and.

[Rory]

We got a little dilemma.

[Mal]

Her previous situation, I gave him a nasty award. We're trying to figure out if y'all.

[Rory]

Gonna give him nasty award for this.

[Mal]

Too, or if it's valid.

[Rory]

So the situation goes is she was smashing this guy, and my husband, he.

[Mal]

Did a thing which I feel like was unforgivable.

[Rory]

They was fucking, and he nutted on her stomach. Stone screaming. That's. That's not the climax right there.

[Mal]

Sorry.

[Rory]

Well, he climaxed after he nutted on the stomach. He slurped it up and he cleaned the plate. Yeah, buddy cleaned the plate.

[Julian]

I never talked to him after that.

[Mal]

I personally think he deserves a nasty award.

[Rory]

She broke it off with him and.

[Mal]

Yeah, should. Should. Should give him another chance.

[Julian]

That woman should.

[Mal]

We need the views and opinions from.

[Rory]

From y'all.

[Julian]

You know his homegirl white.

[Mal]

I know she was really. Yeah. But we gonna leave on that note. Y'all be safe, though, love.

[Julian]

That's a white one.

[Damaris]

Well, they're in Philly, so please come to the show because that needs to be discussed in greater detail.

[Rory]

Bring homie.

[Damaris]

Bring him. We can reenact it once she said that.

[Julian]

I need to know if I should give. Baby, baby. Let me tell you something. That ain't his first time swallowing nut, okay? Nut is an acquired taste. He didn't just suck nut up off your stomach and swallow it. And just like. That was his first time doing that. He was just trying something freaky, which, you know, he's. He's a nutcracker for sure.

[Damaris]

It's like cilantro. It's acquired.

[Julian]

Cilantro.

[Damaris]

Cilantro, whatever.

[Rory]

I'm not kink shaming. We've all done some weird when we was horny, but to do that after you nut, like, with post nut clarity to slurp it up.

[Mal]

I hate when y'all say, like, you.

[Rory]

Had a clear mind when you did that.

[Mal]

Why we can't kink Shame.

[Rory]

We can king shame.

[Mal]

That's some sick.

[Damaris]

No, ma, that's sick.

[Mal]

That's some sick.

[Rory]

Yo.

[Mal]

And another woman go like, yo, it came out your body. Yeah, so does my. I'm not eating that. The.

[Rory]

I Was the first time I did horrible decisions. Wheezy asked me, and I was offended and she shamed me. When she asked me, have you ever tasted your own come? I was like, no. She's like, that's weird that you haven't. I was like, is it what? You've never tasted your own come? I was like, nope. Never even thought about it accidentally.

[Damaris]

No, I'm saying, like, intentionally, like, coming.

[Rory]

Into spoon, like, say you nut in a tissue, like, taking it and tasting your own come. It's never even crossed my fucking mind.

[Mal]

That's a sick individual, apparently, that she.

[Rory]

Was making me sound like I was the weirdo and that men do that.

[Mal]

No. And I was like, it's okay. It's okay to say it. There's some weird people out here that do weird shit. That is. And I get it. Women is your girl. She probably swallowed a thousand times. Whatever. Cool. I get it. But I'm not. I'm never. I'm never slurping up my own.

[Rory]

Never even thought about it.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, that's never even. Like, how does your brain even go to that? As a man, I feel like that's.

[Julian]

A. I feel like that's definitely a sex double standard. Because women, we have to know what we taste like.

[Rory]

That's like a. Oh, I'd love putting her taste in her mouth.

[Julian]

That's. That's like, requires my move. But for men, it just don't. Nah.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's how. Like, that's how. Like, it's just like, not. It's so weird that you, as a woman that fuck with Nick. If a man did that, you'll be like, yo, what are you doing? What?

[Damaris]

That's instant ick.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Now, I've had a man do that before, but he didn't know. It was an accident. It was. It was.

[Mal]

I was in an accident. Tell me the accident.

[Julian]

It.

[Rory]

Yeah, please.

[Mal]

How do you accidentally start to finish? How do you accidentally swallow your own nut as a man?

[Julian]

Because if you. If you.

[Mal]

Wild question. How do you accidentally swallow your own.

[Julian]

Ejaculate inside someone and later start eating their pussy later, like maybe 15 minutes in. And you forgot that that happened. That that is still in there.

[Rory]

Then that you guys sit on. Totally squeeze that out.

[Damaris]

You don't forget. You just.

[Julian]

You don't think about it. Like, if you're going for around two, you didn't automatically remember. Remember. Oh, I just nut in this girl. Like, it wasn't it. He didn't think but a moment immediately when he noticed.

[Mal]

All right, that's That's.

[Julian]

Yeah, that's. For the moment.

[Mal]

That's.

[Julian]

Forgive that he did that.

[Rory]

He's. He's just ill. That's tough. That's fine.

[Mal]

Yeah, he just had a lot on his mind. He just forgot that, you know, forgot that he. Where he placed his nut.

[Damaris]

But this guy. This seems like something he likes.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah, that's his.

[Julian]

That's.

[Rory]

Wow.

[Damaris]

Was he, like, out of towels, maybe?

[Rory]

No, this is one. I really want a callback because she was giggling in the background. I want her to tell us what that combo was after. Like, after you watched him slurp the nut off your stomach. Like, how did the rest of the night. How'd the rest of the night go? Like.

[Mal]

And you know, he. And you know when he did that, his ass was in the air.

[Julian]

Yep.

[Damaris]

Yeah, because she's. You're picturing this. She's laying down, so he's hovering over her ass up.

[Mal]

There's some sick out here, man, because.

[Julian]

You ain't even have to do that. Yeah, women, we do that for, like, you're not the love of the game, you know what I'm saying? Or, like, to impress men. We don't just do that. Like, you didn't have to do that, homie.

[Damaris]

Yeah, well, for the love of the game. But also, semen can improve your mood since it has natural antidepressant properties, including endorphins.

[Rory]

I was keeping.

[Julian]

My man wrote that.

[Damaris]

I agree.

[Julian]

Yep.

[Rory]

100.

[Damaris]

Yeah, no, I just. I agree with him.

[Rory]

Why?

[Mal]

Some sick right there.

[Damaris]

What do you mean, why?

[Julian]

Yeah, I mean, I don't kink shame. I don't king shame. If he. That's what he's into. That's what he's into. But it seems like you're not into that and, like, you don't respect him for it. So, you know, if you're not gonna.

[Mal]

Match his freak sin not to cut you away with these. What? Exactly. Semen is a vicious, viscous, all that. I said vicious. I said vicious. I'm about to be like, what?

[Rory]

That was some Rory reading.

[Mal]

I'm like, oh, I thought I said vicious. Okay.

[Rory]

You've never had, like, a. A vicious load?

[Mal]

No. You know, I've had a vicious low. Yeah. I've definitely got out of this.

[Rory]

You've never. Never just.

[Mal]

I've let out.

[Rory]

It looked vicious.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

[Rory]

The way it's sprayed.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You know, when you. It's been a while.

[Damaris]

Sperm is only about 1 to 5% of semen. So you really just. It's just like, what is the substance then.

[Mal]

Oh, 80% water.

[Damaris]

A fluid called seal plasma. Water.

[Rory]

Huh. It's not piss, though.

[Damaris]

That's a fact.

[Rory]

So we beat the women there with their squirt.

[Damaris]

Yeah. They're gross.

[Rory]

I still can't get over.

[Julian]

Wait, is it as high in protein?

[Mal]

Look what the marriage want to know. She back in the gym trying to count.

[Julian]

Count calories over here eating five eggs a day. I'm exhausted.

[Mal]

The marriage back at the gym. She tried to get them gains. Look at how much protein.

[Rory]

So many other ways to get protein. Yeah.

[Mal]

The marriage like, yo.

[Damaris]

And it's on such a minuscule molecular level. 252 milligrams of protein on average in a. In a load.

[Julian]

Yeah. Not worth it.

[Damaris]

That's not him.

[Julian]

I'm so tired of chicken breasts, y'all.

[Mal]

Y'all don't know the marriage ready.

[Rory]

At least let me get some reciprocity.

[Mal]

Yeah. Wait. How much protein in that? Cause I'll just do that.

[Rory]

It much quicker than cooking the marriage.

[Mal]

How much protein?

[Damaris]

Because one ejaculation usually produces 5 milliliters of semen, which you can safely average around 252 milligrams of protein.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

That's enough, baby. Deal.

[Julian]

You got to know, man, I don't think that's not. Y'all know how hard it is getting in enough protein to make up for, like, weightlifting like, I mean, cottage cheese. I didn't. Why?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Oh, I like cottage cheese.

[Rory]

She could have had nut.

[Mal]

She could have had a nut.

[Damaris]

She wants to fuck him again.

[Rory]

That.

[Julian]

It must have been some fire. A nigga that eat his own nut. I know the sex was fire. She don't want to say that.

[Rory]

He definitely threw it down. No way. You swallow your own nut. And you and got crazy dick gang, like 100% came together. That's a package.

[Damaris]

Trash dick.

[Julian]

And then slurping like, why are you prematurely ejaculating?

[Rory]

And then three seconds of sex and then.

[Mal]

That's crazy.

[Rory]

Get rid of the evidence.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, that need to be locked away, though. You need to put like that, like, on a whole different. Like, get a boat and just send that out to this.

[Rory]

The guy that. That did the voicemail as a good friend. Because if my homegirl told me that happened, I would never let her forget it. I would clown her for the rest of eternity. If Damaris told me that happened, I would call her, like, in the morning on the regular, like, yo, just reminding you that a man slurp nut off your stomach. And then I'd hang the phone up.

[Julian]

I'd never tell you anything like that because, like, the fact that she's in the back, like, no, stop. Like the fact she let him say, yo, I'm about to call New Rory and Mall and, like, ask their opinions. And she was like, yeah, do that. Nah. And told where we was from. Now, like, we know where you from. We know you from Philly. Gonna be at the Philly show. Now we looking for you in the crowd.

[Damaris]

Please come to the Philly show.

[Mal]

Her or the dude that did it?

[Julian]

Both of them?

[Damaris]

No. Well, I guess both of them.

[Julian]

The trio.

[Damaris]

If they.

[Mal]

Whoever.

[Damaris]

If they get tickets. We'll find a way. We'll list. Listed?

[Rory]

Yeah, listed for the Philly show.

[Damaris]

Pull up. That's a sick.

[Julian]

They gotta come on stage.

[Mal]

No, they don't. I don't wanna talk to no nigga that did that. I'm cool.

[Rory]

Well, maybe I'm down with making the entire show about this. Let's just interview him.

[Mal]

There's nothing to explain. He's a weirdo. It's okay.

[Julian]

He was in the moment.

[Mal]

In the moment.

[Rory]

He already. It was post nut clarity. The moment was over. Yeah, he did that with a clear mind.

[Julian]

Post not clarity isn't as immediate as y'all are trying to.

[Mal]

No, it's. It depends on who you.

[Damaris]

That second.

[Mal]

It depends on who you with, Damaris.

[Rory]

I can assure you.

[Julian]

Like the mo. Like the. Like them.

[Mal]

It depends on what I know. It depends on the woman. You would 100 that post.

[Damaris]

Not.

[Rory]

It's.

[Julian]

I mean, I thought it was like five minutes.

[Mal]

It's on who. It depends on the woman for sure.

[Rory]

Sometimes it's halfway through you nutting, like, that's how quick it is.

[Julian]

Oh, no.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah, definitely. But that's.

[Rory]

That's when you find out if you like it or not.

[Mal]

I'm not it. And while I was nothing new, I would. I would never touch this girl again.

[Rory]

That's something that's through the back.

[Julian]

You can without. Well, without the back tooth. Send back tooth.

[Mal]

Oh, no. But away from her. It's happened. Like, I will never.

[Rory]

You will never touch me. Becky. Back back tooth. Doing Becky Beck.

[Mal]

I don't speak to her. I don't even speak to her no more.

[Rory]

Listen, we all have our weak moments. I don't know.

[Mal]

You supposed to tell a nigga you ain't got no back tooth.

[Julian]

No, you. I'm never telling somebody that.

[Damaris]

You just give her a feeling. You could just, like, take care of it for her.

[Mal]

Yeah, right. I took care of it.

[Julian]

That's a quick. What two Racks, three racks, quick.

[Mal]

I got right the fuck up out of here, never to speak to her again in my life. Now it don't even matter. I don't see her mouth no more.

[Rory]

Is there any weird kinks with people that you guys have dated or that you were like, this is a little odd?

[Mal]

Not really. N. Not weird, Kings.

[Rory]

I had a girl ask me to piss on her, but I didn't want to.

[Mal]

Why you didn't.

[Rory]

She's not.

[Julian]

You ain't drinking enough water.

[Rory]

It's not like my. I had nutted. Like, I had post nutclif. Maybe if I was horny, like, I would have been like, all right, let's try anything.

[Damaris]

Like, sure.

[Rory]

But I like, we. We finished having sex, and then she was like, you can pee on me. And like, I had post nut clarity, like a regular human being and was like, I'm all right.

[Mal]

You're like, I'm good. Just go to the bathroom.

[Rory]

Just go to the bathroom.

[Mal]

Girl asked me that, but I'm too silly. I can't. I started laughing.

[Rory]

I would. I would start dying.

[Mal]

Yeah, I just started that. And I was like, what are we doing? Get up. Come on. Get up. Get off the floor.

[Julian]

Get off the floor.

[Mal]

Get off the floor, man. Come on. We ain't gonna do this. We got another one.

[Damaris]

Yeah, let's do it. This is the. The funnel.

[Rory]

Kia told me something funny. A guy she dated briefly used to want to sniff her ears. I thought that was weird.

[Damaris]

He's white.

[Mal]

That's weird.

[Rory]

No, he was black.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I wanted to sniff her ears, like, after.

[Julian]

After sex.

[Rory]

Yeah. I thought. I listen well.

[Julian]

I think pheromones were coming off her.

[Rory]

This is how secure and stupid I am. Every now and then, I just go up to Kia and go, you gave her a snake in her ears. Like, just to. With her.

[Mal]

He probably wanted to hear all sex demons. He wanted to hear her thoughts. How was it?

[Rory]

Yo, imagine. Imagine nothing and going, yo, can I sniff your ears?

[Mal]

That's weird. Saying that without is weird in general. Yeah. Sniff your ear. The. Just more like, oh, your earring back stink. First of all, you need to take that out and soak that. Just let that soak overnight a little bit.

[Julian]

I don't believe men actually like me unless they kiss my ass after we have sex. That's like a worshiping thing for me. If you don't kiss my ass after we have sex.

[Rory]

What if you nut it on your ass?

[Julian]

That's. That's already been. Whatever. If you don't kiss my ass after sex, I don't think you like me at all.

[Mal]

Like, why are you laying down? Just start kissing your butt.

[Julian]

It's like a worshiping ritual for me.

[Mal]

Damaris, you don't like men.

[Rory]

You have a lot of ego.

[Mal]

I don't think you like men.

[Julian]

How I don't like men?

[Mal]

I just think you use men and you just, like, toss them to the side when you're done with them. But you don't.

[Damaris]

Like.

[Julian]

I spent a lot more before I started working with all men for a living.

[Mal]

Nah, but, you know, I don't think you like men. I think you tolerate men. But you don't like men, though.

[Julian]

I do like men.

[Mal]

If you woke up and all men was. Yeah. If you woke up and all men was gone off the earth, you wouldn't be mad.

[Julian]

I would be. I would be.

[Mal]

I don't know.

[Damaris]

To get a credit card.

[Julian]

If Jesse Williams wasn't here anymore, I would be devastated. I would be distraught.

[Mal]

Jesse Williams, that's where you draw the line at men.

[Damaris]

Right there.

[Rory]

Him.

[Damaris]

He's dope.

[Julian]

That's a man.

[Mal]

Yo, you heard that? He's dope.

[Damaris]

He's a cool guy. He's like an activist over there. Guys.

[Julian]

Oh, that's his fellow biracial. So of course he.

[Damaris]

Yeah, my Juneteenth brother.

[Julian]

But no, I don't think that. That's weird.

[Rory]

I would never think he's your type.

[Julian]

I know a lot of girls. Oh, my little heart. I know a lot of girls who. Who like getting their ass kissed after. You do, too.

[Mal]

My ass kissed?

[Julian]

Not your ass, fool. You've never kissed a woman's ass after sex?

[Mal]

Of course.

[Julian]

That's what I'm saying. So how does that make me not like men?

[Mal]

No, because that's like a. You need that.

[Julian]

I do. I like it a lot.

[Damaris]

I do.

[Mal]

Yeah. The women I've done it to, they didn't need that. Like, that wasn't, like, a thing that they needed.

[Julian]

I love it.

[Rory]

It didn't validate them.

[Julian]

Well, some girls like forehead kisses. I like, you know.

[Mal]

You like getting your ass kissed?

[Julian]

Yeah, I like getting my ass kissed.

[Mal]

But you only like getting your ass kissed. So when you stop fucking with him, he got a new bitch. Like, girl, that nigga kissed my ass before. Get out of here.

[Julian]

I don't do that.

[Mal]

You lying your ass up. Yes, you do. I've heard you do that.

[Julian]

I don't feel the need to brag about stuff like that because it's just a necessity. It's the same thing when girls be like, girl, he ate my ass. Like, yeah, that comes with sex. You have to eat my ass. You ain't getting nowhere near me if you're not eating my ass. So I don't gotta a. Gotta eat your ass? Yeah, that's like. No, that's normal. We're adults.

[Damaris]

That's first base.

[Mal]

Yo, getting your ass ate me at first base is crazy.

[Rory]

Like, what's that in 2024?

[Damaris]

That's before the check drops.

[Mal]

What's the triple, though? Like, look. Look at her asses first. What's third?

[Rory]

I'd be mad if she's not into that.

[Mal]

Slurping it off the ear.

[Rory]

That's my go to move.

[Mal]

Slurping it.

[Rory]

No. Eating out.

[Mal]

Oh, I'm about to be like, what.

[Rory]

If she don't like that? Then I don't have very many tricks.

[Damaris]

We got nothing to talk about.

[Julian]

Eating the ass, Eating the feet. Like, that's. You have to do that.

[Damaris]

I'm good on the feet.

[Mal]

Rooted to the Tudor, huh, baby D? Yeah, that.

[Julian]

You don't eat feet.

[Damaris]

I like pretty feet, but I'm not, like, trying to lick toes.

[Julian]

And you don't be in missionary with the toe in the air. Grabbing.

[Damaris]

No.

[Julian]

How to teach you how to have sex.

[Mal]

I got a teacher to have sex. It's crazy. You tell a grown man, I got. I gotta teach you how to have sex.

[Rory]

I mean, that is. That's the. Go to stroke, though.

[Julian]

What?

[Mal]

Sucking toes?

[Rory]

Missionary with the toe in your mouth.

[Mal]

Yeah. That's like the Jordan Fade away.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Gotta go to it every time.

[Rory]

Down. They can't stop now. I know.

[Mal]

Peace. They can't stop it now that I.

[Rory]

Know men are serving up. Nut, like, I have to find some trick.

[Mal]

Yeah. You got to keep up with time.

[Rory]

Like, I have to keep toes in my mouth. If this is what men are doing now.

[Mal]

That's fact.

[Rory]

I can't. I can't compete.

[Mal]

Yeah. Nah. We got one more.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

That might be the craziest voice. Hope everybody's doing well. I have a question. It's not necessarily a relationship question.

[Julian]

You better cry.

[Rory]

But, Damaris, I'd really like your opinion on this thing. So I. I'm 29 years old. I'm. You know, I'm not in the best position financially. I'm definitely working to get out of it, out of this little hole that I've dug myself into. But recently I started dating this girl, and I really, you know, been digging her, and, you know, she's very reserved and ambitious and driven and, you know. But she wants to take Things slow, like, we ain't hooked up or nothing, which is like, something I actually really like about her. And so my question is, have you ever been in a position where you're not financially in the best position, but you wanted to try to make it work out? Because I don't think that should absolutely be a deal breaker in all cases. In some cases, yes, but not in all. But in Damaris, I want, I want to know what your opinion is. Have you ever date, dated someone that you know wasn't in the best financial position and, you know, how, how was that for you? And did it make you resent them anymore or anything? But yeah, let me know.

[Mal]

Thank you, guys.

[Rory]

Take it away.

[Julian]

Well, he's 29. I, I and actually I really appreciate, like, your vulnerability. You know, how hard it is for men to say that they broke. It's tough. So I appreciate your vulnerability. You're 29, which means that you're probably dating women that are 29, 28, 27. We're all broke at that age. We're all putting our money away towards something. Even the successful people are putting their money away towards something. So nobody's just throwing money away. What I will say is it depends on the person that you're dating, and it depends on the type of person that you are. Have I dated men who were not financially in the best places before? Yes, I have. The ones that I stayed with through that were the ones that I knew no matter what. That was a temporary thing. There are some men who are broke, and there are some men who are just in a bad spot. There's a difference. So it really depends on the type of man that you are. If you're a great guy and you are ambitious and you do want more and you have a plan that you stick to and you're consistent and you're trying, then women should definitely take you serious and, you know, give you a chance now to be in a committed relationship. I don't think that you're in the place to do that right now because relationships just cost money, unfortunately, that is where it is. And not only do they cost money, they're also very big distractions because now you have something else that you have to devote time and energy and resources to when you actually don't have any time or resources to have up for grabs because you need to be focused on getting money. So, like, the girl, date the girl, enjoy the girl. It's up to her whether she wants to be with you or not. But if you think that she's Worth it. You should definitely try. But if she's ambitious and motivated, then you need to match her energy on that and show her that, like I'm not going to be a detractor from you. Like I'm not going to get in the way of your dreams and all if you fall in love with me. If we're together. Like I'm not going to your up because I'm about to match you or do better. So yeah, just let it be motivation to you. Ain't nothing wrong with it. Guys, do you agree?

[Rory]

I've definitely been the broke guy and had the woman stick by me.

[Mal]

Good woman.

[Rory]

But I mean you have to, you have to have some type of ambition. Like prove that you're not a bum. Yeah, Women are actually the most understanding creatures on earth. If you're showing some potential, you'll be fine. I think she'll like you for you. And if you really want to go out and get some money, she knows it's going to take some time. Show her that you're working for. I think broke is a fucking bum.

[Mal]

Broke is an energy. I think you could not have money, but being broke is like you don't have no ambition. You don't have no, you're not working towards anything. You're not, you know, I mean like that's a nigga that's not trying to better his situation and you know, get up out of whatever tough financial spot he's in, that's broke. But if you just don't have money but you, you hustling and you got shit going and you trying to, you may not be able to afford lavish vacations and gifts and shit like that. Like that's not broke. I think being broke is a, is a, is a energy and it's a mindset. Like you're not trying to better yourself and you're not trying to. Your girl leave to go to work, you on, you on 2K PlayStation. She Come home, you still on 2K. It's like, that's a broken, that's just loafing. Ain't doing nothing with himself, ain't doing that with his time. So it's a difference.

[Rory]

So I got my first apartment at 22 years old. The rent was 800 that I split with a two bedroom. So I paid 400. When I was 22, I met a bad bitch and she said, let's go to Tao for dinner. And I was like, of course, why wouldn't we? Naturally, why the fuck wouldn't we?

[Damaris]

The usual?

[Rory]

Yeah, the bill was 400 which I used to scrap together to get for my rent at the end of the month was for dinner. Never talk to that again.

[Mal]

But why did you let her run it up like that?

[Rory]

Because I was weak.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Why are you punishing her for never talking to her again?

[Rory]

I couldn't afford her.

[Julian]

Oh, you can't afford her? Yeah.

[Rory]

If this is what you do on.

[Julian]

A Tuesday, she don't do, like.

[Rory]

That's why I'm trying to give Dante advice, like, sometimes don't live above your means. Sometimes.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I was talking to a girl that's used to going to town on a Tuesday. Yeah, my. It was my rent. That was the bill.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I had no business being there. Let me go home.

[Mal]

I went out.

[Rory]

Don't fuck with women you can't afford.

[Mal]

I went out the other night to watch the fight I want to name drop. But Chris Brown had rented out a spot. It's a private spot in the city, but he had rented it out for the night. And I met one of my homeboys there. And I was mad because the fight had just ended. As soon as I walked in, I was like, why the fuck am I even here now? The fight just ended. But I'm looking at the girls that's in the room. Some young girls in the room. It was some girls that I knew, but I felt bad for all the young dudes. Dudes that's 24, 25. Cause if y'all niggas ain't getting a bag, yo, these women have access to like superstar, bro. Like, y'all don't have a chance.

[Rory]

This is where we've had a lot of debates over the years. I think you're just used to a certain circle where I'm not. There's so many. I don't use the word average, but there's women that don't exist in that world and that are fine with.

[Mal]

I'm talking about the very. I'm talking about the beautiful girls.

[Rory]

Women that.

[Mal]

Yeah, but those type of girls, these.

[Rory]

24 year old guys will be fine if they go and hang out with regular women. Not women that are going to. Let me. Let me Monte Davis fight with Chris Brown.

[Mal]

Let me rephrase what I'm saying. If you have an Instagram as a young man, the women that you're following that you think are gorgeous and beautiful don't even. Just leave it alone. If you're not at a certain place in your life financially, don't. Bro, you playing a. You playing a losing game. It's like sitting on A press.

[Rory]

That's how you end up 22 years old at Tao trying to do some shit that you have no business doing. Agreed. I've made that mistake.

[Julian]

I. All of my homegirls, like, just normal girls, they just. They, you know, they make 90k. They want a guy that makes 90k and they're just there.

[Mal]

Yeah, but if Chris Brown DM you and say, come to this fight party.

[Julian]

You going, yes, of course, but that's very unrealistic. That's not going to.

[Mal]

It's not in today's time.

[Julian]

Girls who got fucking 900 followers, they're barely on IG. They working all like, they're normal girls.

[Mal]

They're like that.

[Julian]

There's a. The majority of the women in the world are like that. They're going out, they're working, they're doing normal. They just want a guy that buys them flowers and takes them on cute little dates to a nice little steakhouse every once in a while. Like.

[Rory]

Like, and.

[Julian]

And it's faithful. Like, that's all they want.

[Rory]

Some women actually like. Like connections with men, not celebrities. So you're jaded.

[Mal]

I know.

[Rory]

I used to tell you years ago, just come out to me, like, off some, like, work happy hour. You're going to meet women and it's going to change your perspective.

[Damaris]

You've never seen on your timeline.

[Rory]

Yeah, like these there.

[Mal]

I don't. I don't.

[Rory]

So many beautiful, amazing women out there that literally just go to work and.

[Mal]

Y. You telling me that. Yes, yes, I know that.

[Rory]

I've been telling you this for 10 years.

[Mal]

But I know that. But I'm talking about. I'm talking about another woman type of woman that exists. I'm not saying those women don't exist.

[Rory]

Are g. They multiply.

[Mal]

Yeah, but. But there's more today than it's ever been.

[Rory]

That's a fact.

[Mal]

That's all I'm saying. I don't understand why y.

[Julian]

There are mores than there's ever been.

[Mal]

But why y'all fighting what I'm saying? Yes, I know that there's women.

[Julian]

We're talking about the majority. Majority of women.

[Mal]

Yeah, but I'm just saying.

[Julian]

Majority of women.

[Mal]

For the right price. Right price.

[Rory]

You guys are probably gonna give me pushback because they showed up with masego, and masego's an artist. But those women last night. Yeah, very pretty.

[Julian]

That doesn't work.

[Damaris]

That doesn't work in this case. I. I'm with you because I. Because I met them and I spoke to them. They were normal, but, like, that's like.

[Rory]

You could meet that girl at Whole Foods and they. They weren't like celebrity chasers.

[Mal]

How do you know?

[Rory]

I think that their homegirl. Yeah, one of the girls going to dental school.

[Mal]

I know a lot of that have their own careers.

[Damaris]

So much wax for candles.

[Mal]

What y'all talking about? Like, yeah, I know a bunch of girls that have real careers and.

[Rory]

Yeah, no, they. They sell. They definitely swimsuits and.

[Mal]

No, I'm talking about that have real jobs.

[Julian]

It'd be six figure. Six figure earning.

[Rory]

Oh, no, those are the best ones.

[Julian]

How you think they can afford to be in these places and miss work and do all of this and. Yeah, now the men ain't picking up the. The celebrities nowadays aren't just picking up the broke off the street. They gotta go on your page and see that you used to. Now. Now you got to be used to.

[Mal]

Yeah, but that. You just got to be a good. That's all. You got some Chanel bags, some bust down jewelry.

[Julian]

Exactly.

[Mal]

That means a couple been here before. So you know they got that on their own. Yeah, no, not the mud. Naturally. They got that.

[Julian]

I know a lot of women who buy their own Chanel bags.

[Mal]

I do too.

[Julian]

Same thing. Y'all know.

[Mal]

Yeah, I just.

[Rory]

I feel like the women last night were actually a good example. Even though they came with masego. They were what I'm talking about.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

You would meet that girl at an after work mixer, not just at some fight with Chris Brown.

[Mal]

What's the punchline? I'm trying to get what you say. Like, what are you saying?

[Rory]

Oh, I didn't even put that on Tandra at greenhouse.

[Mal]

No, but what at whip?

[Rory]

I don't know.

[Mal]

What are you saying, though? That doesn't mean she's not a. Yeah, I see how he get his heart broke. Oh, you meet a girl at hopefuls. Like, she's not a. I wouldn't.

[Rory]

I've only meet women.

[Mal]

Meanwhile, James Harden, like, bring your ass over here so I could drop it off in you.

[Julian]

Meanwhile, James dropping off in you is crazy. Yo.

[Mal]

No, she's so nice. She was. I know.

[Rory]

No, I'm not gonna be the ones I'm with Julian, all women are whores. I agree.

[Mal]

I'm not going that far.

[Rory]

But I'm saying that you can meet quote unquote, normal women out that look just as good as the. That go to celebrity parties. That's. That's really all what I'm trying to.

[Damaris]

Normal women look better. My opinion. So who the normal women, I think just look better than the same. The IG keep that online. I want to see that in person.

[Mal]

And then when you see some of them in person, they. They're not. They're.

[Julian]

Oh, my God. I've seen over. Over the past week, I've been to just. I've seen so many people who don't look the way that they look online.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah. That's a big.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

You ain't know, like, when I'm doing.

[Julian]

When I'm put posting pictures and shit. Like, if I don't look like myself, I won't even post a picture. I don't like not looking like myself. I don't want you to come to my page expecting that that's the bitch you gonna meet. And then you meet me and be disappointed. No, some people, really, between FaceApp and all the, they really don't look like themselves at all.

[Mal]

So you gotta start throwing them in the pool when you meet them.

[Julian]

It don't even be about the makeup, because makeup can change the way a person looks kinda. But, like, makeup. Makeup can't undo ugly. Me personally, I always say that makeup can't undo ugly. But these filters and the edits and.

[Mal]

Shit, makeup can undo ugly. Trust me. I see.

[Julian]

Only if you got, like, really, really bad skin. If you have ugly features, like, you have ugly features.

[Damaris]

Ooh. There's nothing worse than when they try to cake up up the makeup on bad skin. You start looking like a Crackle bar.

[Rory]

Crackle Bar Rose Crunch bar crackle, too.

[Damaris]

Crackle's got the same effect.

[Rory]

Nothing's worse than that, though. The makeup over bad skin. Like, just.

[Julian]

Rory, Rory, I thought about you. One of my homegirls said something. She was like. She hit me. She was like, since when do men, like, hate birthday makeup? And I was like, always. I was like, oh, they. Oh, baby. I said, maybe it's because I'm around more men. And, like, men are like, you know, I have men as homeboys. Men hate birthday makeup. Like, when I go to do my makeup for my birthday, I am terrified to accidentally do birthday makeup, like, because y'all hate it so much.

[Rory]

And that should be rough. In relationships, when you're trying to tell your girl, like, you don't need to wear a lot of makeup, like, you're beautiful, because that just comes across bad, apparently, in women's brains. Like, why are you putting on makeup?

[Damaris]

I used to have a thing. To your point. I used to have a thing with this girl that was just for me. It's not me naturally gorgeous. And then she. Every time we would Go out, dude. Overdone the makeup. Every. Only when we went out and I was like, don't do that. I couldn't say it. Like, I wasn't.

[Julian]

She was just bad. She was bad at her.

[Damaris]

It was just, like, too much like, it. She looked like she had a shiner.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

And then, like, her lips were just purple.

[Mal]

All of a sudden.

[Damaris]

I'm like, you looked great this morning. Like, just do that. Stop.

[Rory]

But how women's brains work. You can't even say that to them. So many times you put anything on, like, you're actually making yourself look worse. Just to let you know, some people suck.

[Julian]

That's only if you suck at makeup, though. No matter how beautiful you are, if you are really good at makeup and your makeup is about, like, enhancing your beauty. So if you're beautiful and you put on good makeup, you will still look even more beautiful somehow. But some people be absolutely gorgeous and are shitty at makeup and make themselves look ugly. One of our fave tennis players. We ain't gonna say no names. She does that. She doesn't have to do that. She does that.

[Rory]

Serena Williams.

[Julian]

I didn't say name.

[Rory]

Johnny McEnroe, but yeah.

[Damaris]

Zendaya.

[Rory]

Zendaya plays tennis challengers.

[Damaris]

Have you guys seen it yet? It's really good.

[Mal]

I started it. I didn't finish very good.

[Damaris]

I liked it.

[Rory]

Wait, give me the. The bet. What's the whole.

[Julian]

You didn't see the commercials for it and everything? It had amazing promo.

[Rory]

I have a child. I don't really watch things.

[Damaris]

I just.

[Julian]

You do nothing else but watch things. What are you talking about now?

[Damaris]

You don't.

[Rory]

I watch Ms. Rachel. Missing was the first time I watched a movie in months. What? What's the Zendaya? Tennis.

[Damaris]

She plays a.

[Mal]

She was a tennis player. She got injured, and now she's like. I think she's a trainer.

[Damaris]

She's like, yeah, she's coaching. There's two guys that both fall in love with her. She ends up marrying one of them. And then it's like this whole love triangle she makes. It's like three different timelines.

[Mal]

She makes the make out and like that.

[Damaris]

Very good. It's a great movie.

[Mal]

That's when I stopped watching. Once they started making out, I was like, you know, turn the game on.

[Rory]

Wait, she makes who make out?

[Damaris]

She makes the guys 2.

[Mal]

The two guy tennis players. Like, it's like they almost have, like, a starter threesome in the room. They're both kissing her, and then they just get so into it. They're Kissing each other. And she's just sitting on the bed looking at them like.

[Rory]

I thought it was about tennis.

[Damaris]

It is.

[Mal]

That is tennis. It's double.

[Rory]

Like they left the doubles.

[Mal]

Never played doubles.

[Rory]

Not like that.

[Mal]

Have you had doubles?

[Rory]

I've only had three, actually. No, four. But I was the only dick in the room.

[Mal]

Yeah. I gotta finish that movie, though. It looked like it was good. The storyline looked great.

[Damaris]

It is good. It comes to a good close. It's kind of a cliffhanger.

[Rory]

All right, well, they're not like us.

[Julian]

None of y'all have seen Bad Boys yet.

[Mal]

I saw it.

[Julian]

You did? Did you like it?

[Mal]

I liked it.

[Damaris]

Would you say. What was your name?

[Mal]

It was a good movie. Where do I have it? I think it's 2.

[Julian]

2143. Right?

[Mal]

2143. I think this one is better than the third one.

[Julian]

Yeah, I like the third one.

[Mal]

The third one was a bad. The only. Nah, I'm not gonna lie. This one, though. Damn. I don't wanna spoil it, but when what's the name? Popped out and then he died in the shootout. You know who I'm talking about? I don't wanna say it. Cause I don't wanna spoil nothing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit pissed me off. I was like, this is so corny. First of all, why is he even in this movie? And then he dies. I'm like, the. Is this like, come on. That was the only part of the movie that was kind of corny and pissed me off, but because there's a.

[Damaris]

Bunch of random cameos and I was like, what could they be doing?

[Julian]

Yo, when Khaled popped out, that was hilarious.

[Mal]

Yeah, he.

[Julian]

Cat was in 3 2, though.

[Damaris]

Yeah, right?

[Rory]

He was.

[Damaris]

Does messy get killed?

[Julian]

No, no. Okay.

[Mal]

But it was a good movie, though.

[Julian]

It was good.

[Mal]

It was a good movie. I love the new camera work that they're doing. You know, things like that. Like, it was. It was a good movie. The storyline is dope and it's obviously gonna be another one, but. Yeah. 213-4. 2143.

[Rory]

Oh, wait, so you're saying with the ending, there's going to be another one? They left it that open ended?

[Mal]

Absolutely. Okay. Yeah.

[Julian]

With. Speaking of movies and tv, to all my House of the Dragon watchers, which is no one in this room watch the first.

[Mal]

They're.

[Rory]

They're in our mentions about that a lot. Yeah, I know. Our listeners definitely watch that.

[Julian]

They do. The first episode was good. It was good, but it wasn't great.

[Damaris]

I didn't see it yet. I Heard it was good, though.

[Julian]

It was like a cl. It was. It's leading up, so everybody was so disappointed because they wanted, like, blood and, like, they want revenge. It's like, this is a HBO show. The first episode is not going to be blood and revenge. So it's coming. I am Team Black over here. If you're anything else, I have nothing for you.

[Mal]

Yeah, I'm cool.

[Julian]

You would like it, though, Ma. You would. You would like it if you like. You said you liked Game of Thrones, right?

[Mal]

I did.

[Julian]

Then you would like House of the Dragon. It's. It's the same show. It's just.

[Mal]

But why Cisco ain't in it. My bad, baby. I'm sorry.

[Rory]

You was really trying, especially, like, in these times.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

Like, you know, it would be more accepted. Yeah.

[Mal]

As soon as they cast Cisco. I'm on. I'm on. I'm watching. But they ain't got Cisco.

[Julian]

Have black people in this Game of Thrones.

[Mal]

There was no black people around. No dragons.

[Damaris]

Exactly.

[Julian]

They own it.

[Mal]

They own the dragon. We are the original, man. See, I tried to tell you that. You don't listen.

[Rory]

Yakub put me together with two pieces of steel. Like, I don't know what the you talking about. I'm on your side as long as you with me. If your man got a navel tattoo, how would you feel?

[Julian]

A navel tattoo?

[Rory]

Yeah, like, literally tattooed around his belly button.

[Julian]

Oh.

[Damaris]

Oh, my God.

[Julian]

Oh, God. No.

[Damaris]

The Marisa goes. And he's not in the navy.

[Julian]

Oh, I thought you meant, like. I thought you meant like a anchor or something on him.

[Mal]

No, just, like, around the ankle on him is crazy.

[Damaris]

Well, that's magic.

[Julian]

He ain't snitchy.

[Mal]

The marriage. The marriage. That is not how that goes. Just because you ain't stitch down. Just because you ain't snitch means you don't mean you put an ankle on you because you hold it down. We're not doing that. That's not. We're not trying that ankle.

[Damaris]

So it's like you stepping on.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

I ain't even.

[Julian]

You standing out.

[Damaris]

Business. Yeah.

[Mal]

I feel you.

[Damaris]

Remove me.

[Mal]

That's what's up.

[Damaris]

Gosh.

[Mal]

All right.

[Rory]

Before we close out, want to give a rest in peace to Chef James Kent.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Friend of ours. Very rough week.

[Julian]

From crown shy.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Crown shy. And Saga. Yes. Who you've met? Passed away. It's been. Yeah. My father's Day sucked. I was very fucked up about this.

[Mal]

Shout out my dog. Chef Jamal got the news and it's so crazy because I had spoke to him. He passed away Saturday. This past Saturday. I spoke to him. The Saturday before that he had hit me. He was like, yo, you ain't been by the restaurant in a minute. And I was like, yo, I'm gonna come check you. And I said, I'm gonna hit you next week and I might pull up on you. And I was in the house, I think I was doing laundry or something Saturday, and I had opened the Instagram and Crownshot had posted a picture of him. But you know, he always does that post pictures. He always got some Travis Scott, some sneakers. You shouldn't be working in the kitchen. And that was his shit. He gonna stun on you have on some crazy Nikes. So I said, oh, he probably just trying to stunt get the Travis Scotts off in the picture. And I started reading the caption and it said, you know, they were sad to announce that Chef Ken had passed away suddenly earlier that day Saturday. And that, that, that just. That me up. Cause when you talk about just good people, his story is so amazing. I mean he, he went from. He grew up, you know, in Manhattan and being a graffiti tagging up, like, you know, part of hip hop culture. He used to actually tag up on the building that Crown Shire the restaurant is now in. So just that circle of life and that full story of being a kid running around the streets of New York tagging up on buildings, to now owning one of the Michelin star restaurants in the city. Having a great. The overstory, the bar on the rooftop Saga restaurant on the rooftop as well. Just what he was doing in the restaurant culture in New York and abroad. But still being himself. Still being. Cause you go on crown shy and it's the original picture of Biggie in the kitchen.

[Rory]

He lived like the kid's dream. Like you're like, yo, I want to have a fake. Like the most high class restaurant ever, but only play mob deep. Yeah, yeah. And he did it like he really did what a kid's dream would be. I want to have the biggest restaurant in New York City, but only play the music I like.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

He was the sweet. When we had dinner with him, he was so nice.

[Rory]

Nicest guy ever and nice.

[Mal]

He's a one of one somebody that I'm gonna personally miss. I'm sure everybody that's ever worked with him is heartbroken because he was just one of those people that once you met him and you came into contact with him and had a conversation with him, you just felt like, this is a really good guy. Good person. So to lose him so unexpectedly so suddenly was. Was a lot. So prayers to the. Prayers to the family.

[Rory]

Two kids, 13 and 15 kids.

[Mal]

His wife, his brother Fizz. You know, just everybody that know him and. And love him and has had the pleasure of working with him. It's a tough time. So. So, you know, continuous prayers. Me, personally, I'm a miss him. That's my dude. That's my guy. But I am gonna. You know, I am excited to see them keep his legacy alive.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Excited to see where Crown Shy saga and overstory where they take it. I'm sure his wife is gonna do amazing things in his honor. His children are gonna do amazing things in his honor. But again, it's a sad time because, you know, Chef Kent was one of one man. He was really, really a gem and just a solid guy. And his spirit and his energy and his art will be missed. So prayers to the Kent family. Prayers to everybody at Crown Shy. If you're ever in New York and you want to experience just great dining, great food, great ambiance, go to Crown Shy. Go to and just enjoy culture, you know, I mean, and have a great time in honor of a wonderful guy, great chef, Chef Kent. Rest in peace and.

[Rory]

And. And run it up the way we do with streams. When people pass away, let everyone go to Crown shot. Not that they ever, like, needed.

[Julian]

Yeah, I used to call that. Call James to get my. Yeah, get me in, because they're packed.

[Rory]

Everybody. If you're ever in New York City, go to Crown shy. Run that shit up for his family. Spend as much fucking money as you possibly can at that spot, because they deserve it.

[Mal]

Great people, great staff, great place, great ambiance, great energy.

[Rory]

Like, what other place you get that type of food and listen to Prodigy.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's the great.

[Rory]

It's the greatest restaurant ever.

[Mal]

It was amazing. It was amazing what he was able to build. So rest in peace prayers. And me, personally, I'm definitely gonna miss dude because he was a. He was a great guy, man. Just a great guy.

[Rory]

He. He set up for Kia's birthday this year. Set everything up on the rooftop. Like, he was just one of the greatest. People. Didn't ask for anything. Say, yo, what you need?

[Mal]

Very solid. Very solid. Dude.

[Rory]

Her birthday. I bet y'all. Y'all have the whole terrace.

[Mal]

Great guy, man. Great guy. But on that note, be safe, be blessed. Life is fragile. Let's enjoy it. Let's spend more time having fun, loving each other than we do fighting and hating each other. Because this experience is very brief, so let's enjoy it as much as we can. We'll talk to you all soon. Be safe, be blessed. I'm that nigga, he's just ginger. Peace. New warrior mouth.
