Transcript

[Rory]

Philadelphia, July 25th. City Winery. We will be there live. New Rory Mall. The campaign. You guys can decide. And it makes sense going to Philly first. Yeah, they were the first city. They popped this entire thing off. So it only makes sense that we start the campaign, AKA our live show in the City of Brotherly Love.

[Mal]

Tickets available at newrorynmall.com Merch will be available at the show. Hope to see y'all there.

[Rory]

You know, I ran in the Penn Release three times. Yeah, yeah, it's a fact.

[Mal]

What place did you finish?

[Rory]

I mean, we were there.

[Mal]

Tough beat, no worry. Hey, somebody whiter than my socks.

[Julian]

I.

[Damaris]

Me the hook rubbing on my chain. Blowing cloud magic. Smoke something with a G and bend that ass backwards.

[Mal]

Lay back, relax and talk mathematics. Later on, we tend. I didn't had a minute. Sweaty nights.

[Damaris]

Even when I'm working out, the only place I really.

[Mal]

I had many sweaty nights.

[Damaris]

My scalp and my sweaty man.

[Mal]

I ain't a sweaty man, but I didn't had many a sweaty night.

[Julian]

My back on the walk here was dripping wet.

[Mal]

How you feel about yourself?

[Julian]

Let's try it off now. Jerseys are not breathable.

[Rory]

I've noticed since I've turned 34, that's, like, the one thing I've really noticed. I sweat way more than I used to.

[Mal]

I sweat so much. Like, I really thought somebody threw a bucket of water on me. When I. I'm talking about, like, the sheets was soaking wet.

[Damaris]

You was having a nightmare.

[Julian]

That's happening to me lately.

[Mal]

I just, like, I get in these. I get in these sweats where it's just like. I don't even know. Cause I like to sleep with the room cold, but I need a blanket on top of me.

[Julian]

So, like, the room will be cold.

[Mal]

Room will be cold. But I got a blanket. But then that blanket, you know, overnight, like, your body, like, heats up, you under a blanket. By the time I wake up in the morning, I'm talking about the sheets are soaked.

[Rory]

You don't know.

[Mal]

It's crazy.

[Rory]

Comforter, ac balance. You got to, like, just leave one leg out. I do collect some of the air.

[Mal]

That's.

[Rory]

Bring it back under the comforter.

[Mal]

That's my. That's my move. I do all of that. Yeah, I do all of that. But then there's a. There's a window where you fall asleep and don't move for, like, four or five hours.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Where you just, like a baked potato under there. You just cooking. And by the time I wake up, everything's soaking.

[Julian]

Do you roll around in your sleep, are you guys. Like, just once you find a spot, you get it.

[Mal]

Still sleeper. I sleep pretty still if I'm comfortable. Like, if I'm at somebody house and they sheets stink and it's like, I.

[Rory]

Don'T know, why are you at someone else that sheets stink?

[Mal]

Nah. Cause you know how sometimes you might spend a night at somebody crib and you like, damn, like, this is it. Yeah. Like, I mean, I'm not doing that no more. I go home no matter what time it is now. But I'm just saying, you never spent the night at a girl house for sure. And it's like, sheets kind of stink a little bit. Baby father might still have a spare. This nigga might pop up. So you don't really sleep. Yeah.

[Rory]

And yet you rest. She lives in the building where the washing machine stinks.

[Mal]

Yeah, exactly.

[Rory]

Because cleaning my clothes makes it stink.

[Mal]

It's like you got all that wet. You sleep, but you not sleep. Yeah, but I need to. I need to. That's why I sleep in my own crib. Cause I got to get, like, I got a shower. I sleep naked. It got to be a certain temperature. Like, it's.

[Rory]

I don't know if it's because I'm older or. This has been one of the hottest summers that I can remember, but I almost walked out with, like, a wet rag today. Like, just to keep on my fork. Like, I know that's how much I've been sweating lately.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah. Is it an age thing? It's been extra human?

[Julian]

I don't know. The older I've been getting, the more I've been sweating.

[Damaris]

I've sweat more now that I'm older.

[Julian]

I would look into getting that. What do they call that Botox shit where it clogs your pores.

[Mal]

Clogs your pores.

[Rory]

I feel like that's not healthy, but it's like, it's.

[Julian]

It's like a thing.

[Rory]

They do that in the steam rooms, huh?

[Damaris]

No, they have like, a Botox shot that you can get underneath your underarms to stop your sweat glands from producing.

[Mal]

I don't think you should ever stop your sweat gland.

[Julian]

That just sounds. Hyper hydrosis.

[Rory]

Very important part of your life.

[Julian]

Yeah, but it's just like a localized shot. I wouldn't do it anywhere else, but it's. It's pretty common.

[Mal]

You wouldn't get Botox in your face?

[Julian]

Hell, no.

[Damaris]

No, I can't wait.

[Julian]

Hell, wait for what?

[Damaris]

One more like, frustrating age limit. Like, I mean, like, I'm gonna start. I'm not aging gracefully. I'm getting Botox in the forehead. I'm getting the face lift pulled tightly, like.

[Julian]

Really?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You want to look like one of those people. You want.

[Julian]

You really want to look like.

[Mal]

You're so young to be talking like that, though. Like, I know.

[Damaris]

That's why I said, I can't wait. When I get older, I'm going to.

[Mal]

Get forward to getting your face pulled.

[Damaris]

Back because I started noticing. I started noticing. Like crows put the skin in the ponytail.

[Julian]

Scalping. Yeah.

[Mal]

I've never heard somebody say, I can't wait to get both box.

[Julian]

Now the thing.

[Rory]

Now I can't wait to get chemo.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

What are you talking about?

[Damaris]

That's completely different.

[Mal]

I can't wait to get.

[Damaris]

The body will always be natural, but the face.

[Julian]

But now the thing.

[Mal]

You'll never get no work done on your body.

[Damaris]

After I pop my kids out, I'm gonna get my boobs done, but that's it.

[Mal]

Yeah, that don't really count.

[Rory]

What's that? A mommy tuck? What do they call that?

[Damaris]

Mommy makeover. Is the tummy tuck with the. With the Lipo360 Lipo.

[Julian]

You know the husband stitch that they do after women give vaginal birth?

[Mal]

What is that?

[Julian]

It's called the husband stitch, where they. They like, stitch it up a little more so it's tight again.

[Mal]

Oh, the vagina.

[Rory]

Oh, you gotta slap some vinegar on that.

[Damaris]

Damn you old.

[Mal]

Old.

[Damaris]

The tightest vagina I've ever felt came from a woman who had a big head. Baby.

[Mal]

I think that women know better than to just slap you.

[Rory]

Throw some vinegar on it.

[Mal]

Put some in a little cap full in the bathtub, soaking that little, you.

[Rory]

Know, I mean, tighten it right up.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Please don't put vinegar in y'all.

[Rory]

Please.

[Mal]

Jesus. Put some in the tub. Just put a little bit in the tub.

[Julian]

Something and look down and just hurt.

[Mal]

Yeah. That's all. Yeah.

[Rory]

Snap that back.

[Mal]

The husband. The husband stitch.

[Julian]

The husband's. It's. It's. Apparently it's a. It's not. It's a harmful thing because obviously you're pretty much reshaping very painful. The vagina.

[Damaris]

When women give birth, sometimes they rip. And when they're stitching them, stitching the peritoneum back up, they'll put an extra stitch in perennium.

[Mal]

Oh, got you.

[Julian]

Isn't that crazy? Imagine that. Imagine if we had to get our dicks, like, sewed up or something. It's like.

[Mal]

I've never imagined that, Julian.

[Rory]

It's never really crossed my. My Mind.

[Julian]

Well, technically we have. If you. If you snipped. We've had.

[Rory]

That's true.

[Julian]

Yeah. Scissors down there.

[Mal]

Yeah. But I was like. I had no say it.

[Julian]

They gave it a shape up.

[Rory]

Think about that.

[Mal]

They violated me and I have no say.

[Rory]

I don't remember any of it, but I feel like it was a traumatic experience.

[Mal]

Cool. Whatever. Ball.

[Damaris]

Are you going to circumcise your son? I thought about not doing it. I've considered not doing it.

[Mal]

What? I don't know.

[Damaris]

Because I think that foreskin is there for a reason.

[Rory]

For protection. Yeah.

[Damaris]

Your sweat glands are there for a reason.

[Rory]

Yeah. But you get rid of pubic hair and that's there for a reason.

[Damaris]

Yeah, but I make that decision to get rid of pubic hair. My parents don't. Didn't make that decision for me when I was unable to complain about it because it still hurts. The babies. They're just unable to complain about it.

[Julian]

They're already crying. Just cut the shit off.

[Rory]

Do they do it? They don't do it right away, do they?

[Julian]

Yeah, three days.

[Damaris]

Like three days.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I do that right when I come out.

[Damaris]

No, that's magic.

[Rory]

Don't bake for three days.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Traumatic. You don't have memories until you're like five. Anyway.

[Damaris]

It's traumatic in the moment. Just because you don't remember it doesn't make it not traumatic. You've been some through some trauma, you just don't remember. That's why you act like that.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

That's why your hair looks like that.

[Julian]

What's wrong with my hair?

[Mal]

I didn't say nothing.

[Rory]

I'm just saying the fact that that was his response. I know he's been through trauma. What's wrong with my hair?

[Mal]

Yo, I ain't gonna lie. I took two gummies this morning. I haven't felt my feet since 9:30. Yo, I haven't got them all today. I took two gummies this Morning. I woke up like, went to the gym, showered. I was like, let me pop two gummies, bro. I haven't felt my feet since probably 9:45.

[Damaris]

You took the mood ones?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I need that gummy then.

[Damaris]

I only take like half of them every day. I take half of a mood gummy every day.

[Mal]

I feel like I could walk with these Joe Fresh goods on and them two edibles. I could walk to Boston right now.

[Rory]

Right to Montreal.

[Mal]

Yeah. Good playlist. Good playlist. Shout out to our playlist. Subscribe to our Patreon now. New RAM Radio available.

[Rory]

Yeah. Good plug, Good plug.

[Mal]

No, I'M just saying, you know, listen to the RAM radio and walk to Boston. I ain't gonna. That's the ad, yo.

[Rory]

Listen, there's enough RAM radios there for you to walk.

[Mal]

I think all of us need to micro dose.

[Rory]

I'm with you.

[Damaris]

I agree.

[Mal]

I think. I think just weed.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Like thc, you know, I wouldn't. I mean, maybe shrooms. Microdose shrooms too. But I think we should. I think humans need to microdose. I think all humans should microdose.

[Julian]

I think experiencing an altered state of mind is extremely important, and I think most people should. If that's what you're saying, then, yeah, I'm on board with that.

[Mal]

Because I'm thinking, like, what if I had to work in a workplace right now that was like the prototypical cubicles and I had to deal with so many different people and emotions, Nobody could piss me off right now.

[Damaris]

You want me to try?

[Rory]

I really, really like the Not Like Us video.

[Mal]

Nobody can piss me off. Great video.

[Rory]

It's probably the best. I think Not Like Us video might be the best video that's ever existed.

[Mal]

If that's how you.

[Rory]

If that's Missy and Busta could never.

[Mal]

If that's what it spoke to you, my brother, then have at it.

[Julian]

I was always awful at the water cooler talk. Speaking of, like, being in an office at the label, because most of my time at Atlantic was done at home. So when we were back in the office, I had to like small talk for the first time. And it was. It was. I was so bad at it. I can't do it.

[Mal]

You ain't microdose.

[Julian]

I can't do it.

[Rory]

Yeah, I did. Sunday, I went to my man Rich's birthday party, and I had not seen a lot of people in years. It was like a reunion of the past 15 years.

[Damaris]

Shout out to Rich.

[Rory]

So much bad small talk on my behalf.

[Damaris]

Oof.

[Rory]

Since you went up to. She's working kid. You know, work father crazy.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all you got?

[Rory]

That's all I got.

[Mal]

That's all you got. And that's okay. That's what. That's what we don't understand about each other. Like, sometimes it's okay to recognize, like, yo, that's all he got, man. He's dad now. Like, yo, listen, man. He just happy to be outside for a change. That's it.

[Rory]

Yeah. And then I'll just find it's the real. Because with them, I don't need a small talk. I'll just be sarcastic.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And yeah, Just hide behind those tall guys and talk about the locks.

[Julian]

Ew.

[Damaris]

Look at the real talk. You want to have, like, people asking about your kid, but nah, the locks.

[Rory]

Yeah. No, I want some of that kiss verse. I did. I had a nice, like, relaxing. I didn't do any Fourth of July. I needed a relaxing weekend. And I did the gym Friday through Sunday.

[Damaris]

Hey.

[Rory]

And I had my head on a swivel based off the things you guys told me about the steam room. I walked into the steam room. You did it clenching. I clenched as I walked in. Yeah, like, just. Just like this.

[Julian]

Put a lockbox on it.

[Rory]

Yeah. I was scared, Chastity. I could not pause, get you guys out of my head while I was trying to try to have a nice.

[Julian]

Thing about us in the steam room is crazy.

[Rory]

And then I was curious if I was giving off any vibes or, like, doing any signs that I didn't mean to. Like, if wiping off sweat actually means, yo, let's go.

[Mal]

It's like baseball signals.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Julian]

You gotta sit on your hands.

[Mal]

Sit on your hands. What?

[Rory]

I almost went in there, like, with phone books taped around me.

[Mal]

That's how it sounds like he was on the yard.

[Rory]

I was so scared.

[Julian]

You have a steam room. All this time I've been talking about wanting to go steam, and you just now tell us, bro.

[Rory]

You think I was going to call you to come steam over? Over 4th of July weekend?

[Mal]

Want to go steam? It's 94 degrees outside. Go down on the subway platform.

[Julian]

Stand on Canal.

[Mal]

Yeah. Stand on Canal street, down in the subway for 30 minutes. That's all the steam you need.

[Rory]

Five minutes.

[Mal]

Yeah. It's crazy.

[Rory]

Countdown the minutes.

[Mal]

Why haven't we. Why haven't the New York City subway system. Why haven't we developed to the point where we have air conditioners on the platforms?

[Julian]

Oh, on the platform. I don't know.

[Mal]

We. Trust me. We are trust me. I ordered a $10 burger on Uber east the other night. Additional fees and taxes got me out.

[Julian]

To $35 for a vegan burger.

[Mal]

I said, yo, how is taxes and other fees? What is other fees?

[Rory]

Paying $35 for Black Joe Biden said he was going to take down Ticketmaster.

[Mal]

Take some of them other fees y'all taking, and. And put some ACs down in the subway, man.

[Damaris]

Well, that's Uber Eats is taking them fees, not just the taxes. Uber Eats. That's Uber Eats fee. You don't Instacart fucking won't. The reason why Instacart doesn't put your Receipt in the bag is because they're up charging the fuck out of you for that food, and they don't want you to see what your real total was.

[Mal]

You don't read the receipt when you check out? No, I still. If I go out to dinner right now, I'm still reading the receipt.

[Damaris]

No, I read the receipt. What I'm saying is the receipt when I check out will not match the receipt when the Uber eats. I mean, when the instacart driver at the grocery store checks out.

[Julian]

Oh, I see.

[Damaris]

There'll be a difference because they're paying the regular grocery store prices and I'm paying instacart prices.

[Mal]

All Uber eats is. Is go to the store for me. Yeah, Remember niggas used to tell you, go to the store for me. That's all Uber eats is. And then you let the nigga keep the change.

[Julian]

Keep the change?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

It's a little different than keeping the change now.

[Mal]

No, now we're hoping to keep. I'm keeping the change and you gonna pay me $20 on top of that.

[Rory]

I don't look at the receipts at the grocery store anymore. Cause I still steal. Like, I still steal How?

[Julian]

Why not?

[Mal]

Yeah, like self checkout.

[Rory]

Have you been to Food Emporium lately?

[Mal]

Like, self checkout?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah. Self checkout is catch me if you can. That's all that is.

[Damaris]

I got a homegirl that was stealing from Whole Foods right in front of the camera, terrifying me. I said, I can't do it.

[Rory]

Whole Foods, they gotta chase me.

[Mal]

Yo, you getting chased and avocados falling out your back. Yo, imagine you just see Rory running. You be like, yo, where he going? Groceries. All the way up the block.

[Rory]

I was. As kids, we used to steal, like, too much. I'm actually kind of embarrassed. The lengths we would go. We used to wear the Adidas swishy pants like that. The elastic.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And we would cut. Cut the pockets out of them and just drop. Yeah, we used to take razors to the CD store and cut out the CDs and just put them in our hoodies.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's.

[Rory]

That's like, why was I stealing CDs, man? Like Napster.

[Mal]

That's what you're supposed to do, though. You're supposed to steal CDs, I guess. Yeah, that was.

[Julian]

That was part of growing up, college life, for sure.

[Mal]

Stealing is part of, like, the rite of passage. You got to steal something to just feel that adrenaline rush. And then, like, hopefully you don't, you know, take it, too. Because I knew when to stop. Like, I knew that time my uncle took me, we went to the store and he was trying to buy a grill. Don't ask me why. I think this is when, like, electric grills first was like, popping.

[Rory]

You're wheeling out a fucking grill, yo.

[Mal]

We trying to buy electric grill. This was the electric grill. I'll never forget this shit. We standing there. My uncle hands the person the credit card, right? So she scans whatever. I guess it said contact bank or whatever. But I'm young, I'm stupid, I'm naive. I don't know. I don't know this game yet. And she picks up the phone and calls, and it's the bank. I guess so. Then the lady was like, yo, they wanna talk to you. They handed the phone to my uncle. My uncle was like, hello? He's like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, all right. Thank you. And hung up. And he was like, yo, come on, let's go. Now, I'm young. I don't know this game, the credit card game yet. I'm like, all right, whatever. But then I look, I'm like, why we not taking the grill, right? So I'm thinking like, damn, he ain't got no money. But we start. He start pulling me, we end up running out the store. So I'm like, yo, what we running for? The car was. My uncle had a stolen credit card. But when he called the bank, they started asking him like, yo, how did you get this card? What's your name? And he just spun him, like, yeah, yeah, all right, cool. Yeah. And hung up. But I didn't know that game. I just thought, like, he was. The car didn't work. He didn't have no money. I'm like, why you got me with you on this mission, though? Like, as I get older, I'm like, yo, but why you took me on that dummy mission with you?

[Rory]

Somebody got to teach you that's part.

[Mal]

Of the right of path. You got to feel that adrenaline running out the store and you not knowing if you could run the security guard over or not. You gotta feel that at one point in your childhood.

[Damaris]

And you gotta. It's easier to take when you have a younger kid with you, you look more innocent. Like, nobody would think, damn, he in here with a stolen credit card and his son. Like, nobody would think that.

[Julian]

I think that more as soon as I see a kid, especially after living here.

[Mal]

Yeah, like, that ain't his baby.

[Julian]

Greatest hustle is the. The mother with the kid on the train.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah.

[Julian]

So that's a undefeated duo Oh, I.

[Rory]

Mean, currently, right now with Amara's stroller, there's like a bottom part, and I'll put groceries under there and then just forget that. Them shits was like, I'll pay for some stuff. Yeah, but, like, I forgot all the stuff was under the stroller.

[Mal]

But as a white man in America, that's your duty. That's your. You can do that. They. They supposed to just let you have that on the house? Me? They gonna tackle me, shoot me for all the whites.

[Rory]

It's on the house.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's on the house, man. It's on the house. This is your country. Don't worry about it.

[Rory]

When we were allegedly pledging because Kappa Sign Fraternity Incorporated is a non hazing organization, you had to have boots, right? So seven of us walked into Walmart and put on these big ass combat boots and just ran out of Walmart with the boots on.

[Mal]

Y'all put. That was one of them.

[Rory]

All of us walked in, put the boots on, found our size, and then had our shoes in our hand and just dead sprinted out of Walmart.

[Mal]

All right.

[Rory]

Why is the caucus, New Jersey?

[Mal]

Was that, like, just for an adrenaline rush, like.

[Rory]

No, we didn't have any money.

[Mal]

Oh, okay. That was part of it.

[Julian]

Oh, no, no.

[Rory]

We just needed boots and none of us had any money.

[Mal]

Oh, I thought you meant, like, this was like a. Like a task.

[Rory]

No, the task was we had to have boots, but we didn't have any money.

[Mal]

Got you. Okay.

[Rory]

So we were like. I mean, listen, we put them, and the boots are like the back end of it, though. Like, we had to run through the store to get to the entrance and exit.

[Mal]

I always. I'm not gonna lie, I always admire people that, like, pledge fraternities and sororities.

[Julian]

Thank you, Mall.

[Mal]

Yeah, I think it takes a certain. Well, Lambda Lambda Lambda. All y'all had to do is fix the phone.

[Julian]

No, Cool. You can repeat you admire.

[Rory]

They do two keg stands they were in.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah. Like, Julian got in. He was like, yo, you bought the blow. Cool. Lambda Lambda Lambda. Yo.

[Damaris]

Where'S the blow, man?

[Mal]

That's it. All Julie had to do was bring an eighth, and it was like, Lambda Lambda. They did lines and said, lambda.

[Rory]

When was the last time you guys saw the movie Animal House?

[Mal]

Huh?

[Rory]

When's the last time you guys saw the movie?

[Mal]

Oh, man, it's been years. But that's a classic.

[Rory]

If they had Animal House come out today.

[Mal]

Oh, no, no. It's a lot of movies that they. They couldn't put into production today.

[Rory]

That. That is about rape and fucking underage women.

[Mal]

It's crazy.

[Rory]

It's nuts.

[Mal]

When you look at a lot of movies and listen to a lot of music, like just over the time, like how the world has changed. It's crazy that we was really singing some songs and I'm like, did we know what we were saying back then? Cause there's no way we knew what we were saying. And people were just like, yeah, turn it up.

[Damaris]

Yeah, turn it up.

[Rory]

Like when Eminem said, just bend over and take it like a slut. Okay, Mom. Like that.

[Mal]

That's one of. That's one of them. Yeah, sure.

[Rory]

You know Michael Rubens, All White Party?

[Mal]

Yeah, sure.

[Damaris]

I was watching the Wood last. I was showing it to. So Alex's man had never seen it and he had never seen it before. And we were watching it and like watching it with. Trying to watch it with fresh eyes like you do with somebody who never saw it before. I'm like, this movie is. This movie couldn't come out today.

[Mal]

Why not?

[Damaris]

It would be on for the sexualization of children. The majority of it was them.

[Rory]

Euphoria is like the number one show in the world right now.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you understand what's going on. You know what?

[Damaris]

You're right. But Euphoria.

[Rory]

Euphoria is worse than the Wood by far.

[Damaris]

They don't give me like kids. Euphoria just doesn't give me kid. And the would. They gave me kids even though they weren't kids. It's just like you're zooming in on like a 14 year old's ass and it's just like the whole thing. They're just talking about. You're right, actually. Euphoria.

[Mal]

Do you know what the number one song is about right now?

[Damaris]

The number one song?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Well, that's like. That's a psa. That's anti. Oh, it's an awareness song.

[Mal]

Got you. Okay.

[Rory]

I thought nothing could piss you off today.

[Mal]

Yo, I still can't feel. I don't want.

[Julian]

I know we're gonna. I know we're gonna get to this.

[Mal]

I still can't film.

[Julian]

I know we're gonna get to the video, but I was in the Uber because in the city I really mostly take city bikes when I'm getting around, but a friend of mine wanted to Uber to this party we went to in Brooklyn, Pangea.

[Rory]

Take the city bike to the party.

[Mal]

Ride the city bike to a party.

[Julian]

I love it. It's great.

[Damaris]

So you were musty when you got There.

[Julian]

No, we Ubered. So I'm saying I would have biked, but my friend doesn't Citi bike, so we ubered in the Uber.

[Rory]

Friend doesn't city bike, so he's straight.

[Damaris]

All right, go ahead.

[Julian]

He works in fashion, so there's that. We. We ubered in the Uber. The not like us came on. Because, of course, if you're in a car for more than 20 minutes, that's going to come on. And at the end, we were, like, curious to hear the clean. Like, the radio edit, because I hadn't heard it yet. They really don't edit much out. Like, they don't bleep the word pedophile. They don't. At the end of the song when they said 69 God. They don't believe any of that.

[Rory]

And then they played Takashi 69 on the radio.

[Julian]

No, but, like, this is like, a different level. Like, they.

[Rory]

They hardly bleep 69 God.

[Julian]

You think should be not the 69 God. I'm trying to remember the.

[Rory]

The freaky part.

[Julian]

There's the part at the end.

[Rory]

I'm not going to tell you the part.

[Julian]

But, no, not that they bleep that, but they go freaky. They go.

[Mal]

They.

[Julian]

They go freaky ass. Keep pedophile 69. God. Like, they do that.

[Mal]

Yeah. Keep pedophile.

[Julian]

They keep. What do they keep? They keep the OV Ho. They don't edit that out.

[Rory]

They keep hoe on the radio.

[Julian]

OV Ho. Like the OV Ho chant. I don't know. I thought that was crazy.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Welcome to the new world order. They don't bleep anything. Everybody, they just bleep.

[Julian]

The only word they bleep.

[Damaris]

Everybody's gay.

[Mal]

How was the fourth for y'all? Nobody went nowhere.

[Damaris]

I went to Connecticut.

[Mal]

Connecticut, That's.

[Rory]

That's a good old American state, though.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I feel like I would enjoy Fourth of July in Connecticut.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, you.

[Mal]

If you're gonna go somewhere for the fourth of July, you got. It's Connecticut.

[Damaris]

Before the fourth of July, I was in Brooklyn, and that was Gotham. I was just telling all that shit.

[Mal]

Happy you made it out.

[Damaris]

Yo, the fireworks in the middle of the street with the rain with the Uber swerving around, the fireworks and the hood niggas, and Never again.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

As it was, I'm like, it's literally pouring, rainy. Y'all still out here doing fireworks? Yeah, never again.

[Rory]

Welcome to Flatbush.

[Mal]

I hate the fourth of July. I'm going to be honest.

[Julian]

It sucks.

[Damaris]

And then I went to some place called Cafe Or Zuli and shout out to them. But, like, y'all gotta tell me where the straight men hang out. I'm be single for the rest of my life. I don't see straight men when I go out anymore.

[Mal]

We're in the house.

[Damaris]

Everybody is gay.

[Julian]

Tell them the compliment you got.

[Rory]

Who scared what's funny, though? Because I went out Sunday during the day, and our friend, I'm not going to say her name, said the exact same thing that Tamara said. There's a lot of people at the spot we were in. And she was like, where are the.

[Mal]

Straight men in the house?

[Rory]

And I was like, well, we're in Hell's Kitchen, so you came to the wrong fucking neighborhood. Let's start there. Yeah, you're complaining about we're in a gay neighborhood. Yeah, we're the odd men out here.

[Mal]

I don't know if you noticed that or not.

[Damaris]

The odd bad bitches out. But I was in Brooklyn. I'm like, yo, when I'm in Brooklyn, Like, I miss when Brooklyn was dangerous. Like, it still is, I'm sure. But like, it ain't.

[Mal]

Oh, no. You get shot by don't get it twisted.

[Rory]

Omar attacks that ass for sure.

[Mal]

Don't get it twisted. Like, them gay. I know some gay niggas with felonies don't get it twisted. It's still dangerous out there. Don't think it's. It's. It's cool. Cause two men holding hands. Yeah, they just.

[Rory]

They just whistle before they shoot you.

[Mal]

Yeah, both of them it on him. Don't get it.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Don't get it twisted. It's still dangerous out there, baby.

[Damaris]

And this is not me being anti gay. I. I don't mind. Like, I don't care about being around gay people. It's not that I don't want to party with y'all. It's that, like, I would like, you.

[Rory]

Want men that want to you.

[Damaris]

Yes, it would be nice.

[Rory]

Like, I want to compliment.

[Damaris]

I was half naked, first of all. I haven't been half naked in like seven years. I was half naked. I went out.

[Julian]

Come on.

[Mal]

Half naked. I just saw you even pedri at me. I just saw you, Harry, over three episodes ago, he slept in this chair half naked.

[Damaris]

What I'm saying is I went outside in a bathing suit top in, like, low rise slack. Like, I was like. I was naked outside in slacks and.

[Rory]

Saying I was finally naked. It's crazy. What, do you work at State Farm on khakis?

[Julian]

You had slacks on.

[Mal]

You know, having slacks on and Saying you naked is wild.

[Damaris]

I'll send you the picture, Julian. But, yo, anyway, I was half naked, and I'm like, everybody just complimented my outfit. It was like, yes, fuck it up. Serving cut, like, yes, fuck it up.

[Mal]

Is that fucking it up? Slacks in a bikini top?

[Damaris]

Like, tell me, like, just wanted something.

[Rory]

Stop playing with a straight man and be like, can I fuck? Is that what you wanted?

[Julian]

You just wanted someone to.

[Rory]

I thought compliments from gay men were, like, the ultimate compliment.

[Damaris]

They are, they are.

[Rory]

But you want some sleazeball like me to be like, let me grab your ass.

[Mal]

Yeah, you wanted a straight man, like, a straight American man.

[Rory]

The party, I went Proud boy from New Orleans.

[Julian]

The party, I went to the Mac that I brought you to last year, where I took all the shrooms last year. And.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, that was a fun party.

[Julian]

I was fun. That was. They do it, like, every year.

[Mal]

How was it?

[Julian]

It was really fun. It was too fucking hot.

[Rory]

Were you hosting or something? What was going on?

[Julian]

No. So they do, like. They do, like, a mic thing in the crowd. And then I had this whole plan. It was a really great idea, actually, but I am not a technologically sound guy, and none of them knew how to connect the wireless road mics, so we ended up scrapping that idea. Would have been fun.

[Rory]

So you're a camera guy.

[Julian]

The idea I had to, like, the party's called Pangea, and it's like global Afro Caribbean. Like, it's. They. They have a very eclectic, diverse audience. And I. This idea of bringing a map, like a world map. And I had. I bought stickers.

[Rory]

Yo, people just want to party, man.

[Mal]

Why are you trying to quiz people at a party?

[Rory]

They want to get drunk and dance.

[Mal]

Yeah, they want to get drunk. And why you up every vibe?

[Damaris]

You tried to up the wedding. You try to up pan.

[Rory]

You want to hear about the car accident you almost died in the happiest day of your life?

[Damaris]

What the buzzcap?

[Mal]

Bringing a map to a party. Get the out of here with you.

[Rory]

I don't know the fucking capital of South Carolina. Fuck out of my face.

[Mal]

I don't know. I don't know where we are on the map, sir. So.

[Julian]

Well, the point is, like, I would go up to someone with the mic and take out the map. The concept is, I have the map. They take a sticker, like, they put it where their family's from. So, like, origin story. My family's Jamaican. And then I was like, okay, like. And then you just quick follow question, like, what's the best Jamaican Food spot in New York City. And then whatever. Boom. And it'd be like. It'd be a TikTok, like, edited.

[Damaris]

Oh, you were content creator.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Julian]

Really doing something. It wasn't just like. I wasn't harassing people with a map.

[Mal]

Got you. Okay.

[Rory]

Okay. So what would have happened if you landed on someone that was Israeli?

[Julian]

Well, I would edit. I cut that part of the map out.

[Rory]

No, they cut most of the map. Never mind.

[Damaris]

You know what?

[Rory]

Michael Rubin's White Party Mall. You were there.

[Mal]

I was sleep. I was not there. But yes. Michael Rubin's fourth of July all white party. He shows off his favorite blacks of the year, everybody. The who's who's and the what's, what's the who's who's. You know, the who's who's, the who's who's and the what's what's are there.

[Rory]

It's probably a fun party.

[Mal]

Yeah. I mean, it's definitely what you need music, right? Good music, probably good music.

[Damaris]

I know the food is brutal.

[Mal]

Pretty women. Pretty women, right. Got some pretty women there. You need some good drinks. Definitely some good drinks there. Good weather, right? Seems like it was a good night out.

[Rory]

Tide sticks, for sure.

[Mal]

Gotta have Tide sticks.

[Julian]

Yeah, that should be sponsored by Tide.

[Rory]

Should probably sponsor the one they should. Yo, you can have that one for free. Mr. Ruben.

[Julian]

Mr. Rubin.

[Mal]

Mr. Rubin.

[Damaris]

I'm sure he doesn't.

[Rory]

You can have that Tide idea for.

[Damaris]

Anything from you for free.

[Rory]

That's off the strength.

[Mal]

But, yeah, it looked like it was a fun time. A lot of people was talking about the fact that that Drake had popped out, because I don't think he's probably been seen publicly here. Yeah, I know. I know. He went on vacation after. Well, when the beef was like, you know, still beef. And I guess it still is.

[Rory]

When the beef was still beefing.

[Mal]

Yeah, that was like April.

[Rory]

Yeah. It was being sauteed.

[Mal]

Yeah. So now it's probably looks like him.

[Julian]

And Drew Ski were having a moment here.

[Rory]

Drew Ski just held him down.

[Mal]

Right.

[Rory]

Didn't Drew Ski tell some DJ to stop playing?

[Damaris]

Yeah, Drew Ski is actually really funny. He's never.

[Rory]

He's one of the few people that translated from Internet comedy to actually being hilarious in real life.

[Damaris]

He's really.

[Rory]

Drew Ski is very, very funny. I don't know. Was it that big of a deal that he was at Michael Rubin's?

[Mal]

Well, it's a big deal because it's.

[Rory]

All the people named in the last verse of Not Like Us were there.

[Mal]

Too What a video. The video dropped that day, right?

[Julian]

Yeah. Later that afternoon.

[Rory]

You know how awkward that must have been at Michael Rubin's party?

[Julian]

You know, they all want.

[Rory]

Because you want to watch the video.

[Damaris]

Oh, sneak into the bathroom to watch it.

[Rory]

There was definitely a watch party in. Michael Rubin has to have a huge.

[Julian]

Probably on the yacht. Like. Yeah. Just docked. Everyone's on there except Drake. And they just watched it.

[Rory]

Yeah. We got to use the bathroom.

[Damaris]

Somebody watching to make sure my friend.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

Austin was holding the door. Drake, give us, like, 4 minutes and 32 seconds. You can clock it right now. Oh, that's the only reason I would have liked to be there. Just to see the tension of everyone wanting to watch that video but not wanting to, like, insult their friend because I wouldn't have the balls to watch the video in front of Drake or even at the party.

[Julian]

Was LeBron there? Because he was, you know, I think.

[Rory]

I think Bronnie did the toast.

[Mal]

No, LeBron. I don't think LeBron was there.

[Julian]

Did he not go this year?

[Mal]

I don't think there was no pictures of him. So.

[Rory]

Have you ever been to this party?

[Mal]

No. Okay. No. Never been to Michael Rubin's all white party? I probably been to one all white party my entire life.

[Damaris]

Really?

[Julian]

Yeah. This was.

[Mal]

I don't know. I never really understood that, like, theme.

[Damaris]

It's just Jamaican culture.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I think I did a Kappa cruise that was all white.

[Mal]

A cruise is the worst. Like, a bow party is the worst shit in the world.

[Julian]

I. I hate that concept.

[Mal]

Oh, my gosh.

[Julian]

Being stuck on a boat.

[Mal]

Going to party on a boat is the worst shit in the world.

[Rory]

Yeah. That's why you get people from palooza to break the ceiling so it docks right away.

[Damaris]

I literally left before I got on that boat. I just did not get. I'm so happy I didn't get on that boat.

[Mal]

It's the worst. It's the worst. First of all, bowl parties in New York is crazy.

[Rory]

Why? I think it's kind of beautiful to go, like, under the bridge and shit.

[Mal]

Because if.

[Rory]

Around the Statue of Liberty.

[Mal]

Because if I want to leave, you can.

[Julian]

Man, that sucks.

[Mal]

Like, I'm just. Now we just, like. Now we got to go up the Hudson one more time.

[Rory]

But why I like both parties is no matter. Even if it's sold out, there's always an area for you to go away from people.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, you can kind of leave. Like, just go to the bow and mind your business.

[Julian]

I wanna go to the barracks.

[Rory]

Yeah. You want to go hang with the mom.

[Damaris]

Like, I want to go to the bed.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Taking a. On a boat, though, when the whole. The whole of environment is rocking. That's.

[Mal]

That's taking a. On a. At a boat party.

[Julian]

Well, like, you'd have.

[Rory]

Well, taking a party is hilarious.

[Mal]

Taking this at a party is crazy.

[Julian]

Like, but imagine if you're on a boat. Like, it's. Yeah. Like, I'm just picturing, like, there's food.

[Rory]

And imagine having the runs at the all white Michael Rubin party while the Not Like Us video is playing.

[Damaris]

That sounds like the Seventh Circle.

[Mal]

That's a lot.

[Julian]

It's like an episode of Curb Shout.

[Mal]

Out to Cash Cobain. Cash Cobain had a pool party. Somebody shit in the pool.

[Rory]

I saw that.

[Mal]

Wait, wait, Cash. Cash seem to be a little upset about that.

[Rory]

A little.

[Mal]

You can't take no. Like, why y'all in pools, man? Like, how.

[Rory]

I didn't think we needed to say that at the beginning of the party. Like, no one in the pool.

[Mal]

In the. But that's why I can't do.

[Julian]

Because it's like, that looks disgust. Not the shit, but just this party.

[Rory]

Oh, I know what that video is.

[Julian]

Everyone's in the water.

[Rory]

Oh, that's fun, though. They're young. That's what they're supposed to do.

[Damaris]

No matter how young I am, that will give me anxiety.

[Mal]

Where is the shit in the pool is craziness, man.

[Rory]

When I was this young, anxiety didn't exist, so I would have been fine.

[Damaris]

Really.

[Rory]

It's a new thing. No, I had anxiety. I just didn't know what it was.

[Damaris]

Oh, y'all.

[Mal]

Don't look back at some of the stuff y'all used to love doing and be like, yo, how did I ever enjoy doing that? Yeah, I don't know how I ever enjoyed going to a club and it being super packed. Like, that used to be the. Was crazy.

[Rory]

And it was a zoovie.

[Julian]

I love that word.

[Rory]

It was a zoovie.

[Damaris]

The fire.

[Rory]

I remember they used to promote parties when I was in college in Jersey during, like, the Jersey club era. Unwalkable was, like, the word.

[Damaris]

I remember that.

[Rory]

That was a thing, like, in all caps on Facebook. Like, it's unwalkable. And it's like, why would I want to go there? I want to. What if there's a fire?

[Julian]

Who at 22 is thinking about that, though?

[Mal]

Nobody.

[Rory]

Me with anxiety and didn't know what it was.

[Damaris]

I thought about if people started shooting. That's why I never, like, pack parties. If somebody starts shooting, I can't run or I can get trampled or. I never really liked packed parties like that.

[Mal]

It's crazy. The thought of going to a club and it being packed and me being in there, like, shoulder to shoulder with people, I don't know, is the craziest concept to me.

[Rory]

It's a Zubi, though.

[Damaris]

Did y'all. Oh, did y'all hear about Brooklyn Freaknik and the nigga that pulled out a gun and got caught on camera shooting up Prospect Park?

[Rory]

First of all, let's start with. I didn't know there was a freaknik.

[Mal]

Brooklyn Freaknik, like, Brooklyn has their own rendition of the.

[Damaris]

I don't. Not anymore. After that bullshit.

[Julian]

Oh, it was this past Saturday.

[Mal]

This was the first one.

[Damaris]

I don't. I don't know how often they've done.

[Rory]

It was doing yoga.

[Julian]

No, that's just white people.

[Damaris]

The video went viral of two guys fighting, and this one dude got, like, slept and, like. But as he was falling to the ground, like, he pulled out the Yanami and started shooting.

[Mal]

He pulled out.

[Julian]

That's impressive.

[Damaris]

Yeah, it is. It actually was pretty impressive the way it happened.

[Rory]

No one got hit, though.

[Mal]

Look.

[Damaris]

Boom.

[Julian]

He dodged it.

[Rory]

Not put this type of stuff. Sorry, podcast.

[Damaris]

It's not good.

[Rory]

Yeah, Yeah. I didn't know someone actually got hit. I don't want to see that.

[Julian]

No, he didn't.

[Damaris]

No, he didn't get hit. He dodged it.

[Rory]

Oh, damn. You should be with Angelina Jolie.

[Julian]

That was actually very impressive.

[Rory]

How did you get snuck on?

[Damaris]

Like, it was like a punch going on. First of all, it was impressive that he.

[Rory]

I'm glad everyone's safe.

[Damaris]

How do you fall and put you falling and pulling out the gun at the same time? Like, these are just.

[Julian]

Seems like anything with the word freak Nick attached to it. There's always something bad that happens.

[Damaris]

I'm good. And hopefully nobody got.

[Julian]

Yo, he dodged that. How?

[Rory]

Gotta stay on your toes.

[Julian]

He did.

[Rory]

Yeah. Maybe a jam.

[Julian]

Everybody runs around.

[Mal]

Did he shot it? Did he shoot or did he. Did they just see him pull it out and they started running?

[Julian]

I think you could hear him pop.

[Rory]

I look like it jammed.

[Julian]

Oh, I didn't hear anything.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, because there was some kick. I think it just jammed.

[Mal]

Yeah, they. They definitely. He definitely dodged one right there because he didn't fire it. But see, that's why you can't just be hitting people. And some people are licensed to carry.

[Julian]

Not here.

[Rory]

Some people don't have a license to carry and still carry.

[Mal]

Well, yeah, that. He looked like he was licensed to carry, though, the way he Pulled that out.

[Rory]

Yeah. I could tell by his cargo shorts he has a license.

[Mal]

Yeah, that. Like that ensemble. He's definitely off duty detective 100, but.

[Damaris]

Yeah, luckily, nobody was hurt. But why are y'all. Why are y'all.

[Rory]

That's an NRA member.

[Mal]

He pays his membership fees. Okay, baby. Okay.

[Julian]

Nah, you're on trend with the. Where you, like, don't really do your pants Here, I got you.

[Rory]

I got you. Hey, nice slacks.

[Damaris]

Thank you. Thank you. Julian is pulling up the picture that I sent him when we were talking about when I went to Brooklyn.

[Rory]

No, you look good. And congrats. I know you've been in the gym. I know you've been eating healthy, so congrats.

[Damaris]

I have.

[Rory]

I think that's great.

[Damaris]

But, yeah, I look like that, there should be men offering to pay my bills and eat me. From the Rooter to the Tudor. Why are y'all complimenting my outfit? Outfit? And calling me a.

[Rory]

Isn'T a compliment in the gay community. Like, you so cunty. Like, isn't that, like, you're so pretty.

[Mal]

It was just one of those comp. You have to be gay to use.

[Julian]

That is such a great word.

[Mal]

Yo, do you know how crazy it is to call a woman a, though? Like, I could never do that. If I call a woman that, I'm. I'm out of here.

[Rory]

When the Beyonce Renaissance album came out and they was all mad because she, like, used the word, I was like, she was calling us C. No one was offended by that.

[Mal]

Yo, that's.

[Rory]

Oh, she said spaz. What about calling me a cunt? And she changed it, too, but left cunt.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, that's still there. Yeah, turn that up.

[Rory]

She said. She said we mad. Cunty hunty. I was like, what?

[Mal]

Insane.

[Rory]

Well, anyways, Michael Rubin's All White party.

[Mal]

Shout out to Michael Rubin's All White Party. Once again, everybody, the who's who, the what's. What's.

[Rory]

Do you think people get, like, at that party? Where do you go?

[Mal]

You mean? It's plenty of places.

[Rory]

Like, I don't. People. I don't think people stay at Michael Rubin's house.

[Mal]

No, no, no. There's plenty of people that are renting houses up there. Okay. In the Hamptons that week or that weekend.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I want to see the after. Who. Who threw the after party up in the Hamptons? That's what I want to see.

[Rory]

You know, Beyonce was definitely not letting HOV walk back to their Hamptons house with the hoes.

[Damaris]

Was. Were they there?

[Julian]

Jay Z was Jay Z?

[Rory]

Did A hit on.

[Damaris]

I didn't see B. I saw Jay.

[Rory]

He had, like, a walk. Walkathon.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah.

[Damaris]

He's in a walking club.

[Rory]

Walker Fella.

[Julian]

A walking club.

[Damaris]

Walker fella is so funny.

[Mal]

I would walk. I'm in Walker Fella, but I didn't even know that's what.

[Rory]

You can't feel your feet. You're not walking.

[Mal]

That's why I said I want to walk. The.

[Damaris]

I can't feel nothing I've ever heard in my life. But yeah. So Jay Z's in a walking club, which is what people in their 40s and 50s could be doing. Mall join one. You could walk to Boston.

[Mal]

Yo, I'm trying to tell you, I'm walking. Walking more than all these.

[Rory]

Mall. We can't. We can't avoid it.

[Mal]

What are we trying to avoid or not trying?

[Rory]

We. We made. We made jokes and talked about it, but we. We have to. How's it go?

[Mal]

Damn.

[Damaris]

You made it. Whack.

[Mal]

You made it.

[Rory]

Now I hate the number one song in the world. We have to talk about the Not Like Us video came out July 4th. Did. Did his Juneteenth show and then dropped the video on Independence Day where everybody in America was free on July 4th.

[Julian]

Everyone's equal.

[Rory]

1609. Yeah, that's an accurate date. I was in social studies during 9 11. Where do we want to begin? Let's start with a snippet at the top of the. The video. I assume that's a Pharrell beat. Can we all just safely say that's a Pharrell beat?

[Julian]

Sure.

[Mal]

I don't sound like a Pharrell beat to me, but. Okay.

[Rory]

Really?

[Mal]

No.

[Damaris]

Sounds mustardy.

[Rory]

That sounds like probably a direct Pharrell beat to me.

[Mal]

No, I don't think it's a. I mean, it could be. I don't think so, though.

[Rory]

Keep. Keeps the horn on them, like kamasi. That sounds like a joint. Sorry. I'm getting, like, excited about a snippet, but that snippet is fire.

[Mal]

Yeah, I've heard people saying diabolical is the new favorite word.

[Rory]

Diabolical.

[Mal]

Oh, man. They using diabolical for anything. Oh, it's diabolical in wrong. Diabolical. Yo, Kamasi Washington. Yo. Y'all don't even get it. It plays the sax. I think we get it.

[Rory]

Yeah, it was. It was actually a pretty easy bar to understand.

[Mal]

No, it's diabolical, all right, man. I just. I'm just trying to look at.

[Rory]

They did a bunch of reaction videos of. Oh, my God, the history Of Kamasi Washington.

[Mal]

Yo, the. They broke down in the video.

[Rory]

Oh, you're hating, y'all. Don't go back to your feet.

[Mal]

I'm hating how? I'm talking about the videos that people are making. Breaking down the video.

[Rory]

I know it. It warranted that. No, there was a lot of, like, Easter eggs and things to break down. Down to the knock and the dance.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

That's connected.

[Julian]

Like, it's funny. In that same car ride after we listen to this song, we were going through all the references and all the moments that this music video provided. 1. The first one being the knock at the top of the video with the history of the cakewalk. And I really thought about, like, every single thing. If it originated in this country, it was rooted in some racist ass shit.

[Rory]

Yeah. Something.

[Julian]

This elementary knock is just. Oh, yeah, by the way, this is what the slaves. That's like. Of course it is.

[Rory]

I'll be honest with you. I had no idea cakewalk was tied to slavery.

[Damaris]

Me.

[Rory]

Once I saw the explanation, I was like, yeah, check.

[Julian]

That makes sense. Yeah.

[Rory]

No, this country is obsessed with slavery.

[Julian]

Nothing is.

[Rory]

Everything we have is. That's a fact.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Everything is just based.

[Mal]

Everything that come from. It has to be slavery from somewhere, because everything is built on it. It's the foundation of the country.

[Rory]

I feel like ever since Childish Gambino, this is America. I've always enjoyed when people make videos that are geared towards the YouTube community that break down every last thing. I actually enjoy that type of stuff. I think it's cool that they do that. I think it's smart to do that type of stuff with videos. You want to get people to sit for two hours and break down three seconds.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So I think Dave and Kendrick knocked this out the park for what they were supposed to do. Thought visually was really cool. I loved. We already knew that when it's Kendrick, there's going to be a million different small, intricate things that everyone's going to break down. But I thought visually, it was a cool video. They kind of haven't missed. Like, when they did the first press release of PG Lang saying, this is going to be a creative company. They're going to focus on visuals. Have they failed yet? From Heart Part 5 on, has PG Lang failed in the. In the visual area?

[Mal]

I mean, they haven't. Was it hard part part 5?

[Rory]

All the visuals from Mr. Morale. Hard part 5.

[Julian]

I'll remember. They use the. The deep fake.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

The Baby Keem and Kendrick joint that they did for Family Ties. The odd future announcement. Like, I Think we just need to put a little bit more respect on Dave's name as far as a director like Dave has been smoking this shit.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I loved say what you want about the beef and knocking the owl out and all that, but visually, every shot in this was amazing.

[Julian]

Yeah, there's some beautiful stills.

[Rory]

Even, like. Even if you could find it corny that he's beating up the owl pinata. Just that blue background was such a beautiful fucking shot. Everything visually about this was just great.

[Julian]

The shot of him going over. What is that called? What are they called? The hopscotch shot. The shot of the woman walking the wire. Just. Even the. The great. The simplicity of the. Yeah, I thought all the crates and the.

[Rory]

How it was colored. It was just a cool video.

[Julian]

Yeah. The black. I love how this was done in black and white with him and his kids and Whitney dancing. Almost like with the fisheye lens.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

It kind of look almost like a security camera, like you were getting an inside look.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Mal]

But when we. When Mr. Morale came out, Rory, we went to the show.

[Julian]

This shot's beautiful.

[Mal]

We did say that it did seem like Kendrick creatively was entering another level.

[Rory]

Yeah, for sure.

[Mal]

Even his stage show at Mr. Morale, clearly the production and it kind of felt as if it was like a play almost. It had that kind of story book telling to it. So, yeah, that's on par for what I think PG Lang is trying to do as far as visually and, you know, they want to create, they want to have fun. Like you said, Beef aside, I thought the video was cool.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

I mean, I didn't. It wasn't nothing that was. Aside from the. Like you said, the Easter eggs, it. I didn't. Visually, it didn't like, blow me away. It was cool. I thought it was. It did what it was supposed to do.

[Rory]

But I mean, I feel like that's been. Most of PG Lang's stuff has been great simplistic videos. Because even Hard Part five, like there's a good. Was against just.

[Mal]

There's a way to do some simplistic videos.

[Rory]

The focus of that was obviously the AI they were using for Kendrick's face. Just a one shot performance. And even it wasn't family, so it was hillbillies or whatever that shit was. That was the name of the record, right?

[Julian]

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

[Rory]

Super simplistic video. But I think they smoked it. And this is the same way the intricacies came in. The Easter eggs. In my opinion, that's where.

[Mal]

That's where the. The goal was at. They. They knew People were gonna have to. They. They planted things in the video visually for people like you said to deep dive into and break down and react to. So on that part of it, I think, you know, they. They obviously spent their time and made sure they executed that part of it right. But I mean, now what? Now that the video's out, still the.

[Rory]

Biggest song in the world. Let it rock.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I want to know when the album is coming out. I want to know when his is coming out. I want to know if.

[Mal]

Well, he has a date on his jacket that everybody.

[Rory]

No, he doesn't. It says SS 2024.

[Mal]

I thought it was eight. Eight.

[Rory]

Yeah, they found the jacket. Of course, YouTube found it. And the actual jacket says S slash S. But in that pixelated screenshot, it.

[Mal]

Looks like an eight.

[Rory]

It looked like eight.

[Mal]

Eight. Oh, okay. That was one of the things that I said. August.

[Julian]

That wasn't a reference to Kobe.

[Rory]

August 8th. Yeah.

[Mal]

Yeah. I didn't understand reference to Kobe. That was.

[Rory]

But they'll find any way to try to put two and two together.

[Julian]

I did a dive myself that I didn't see on the online. I just off first reaction after watching the video when he puts the owl in the cage at the end. Anytime you see a bird in a cage, I'm instantly reminded of Maya Angelou's I Know why the Caged bird sings.

[Rory]

Yeah, I think that was a pretty straightforward reference.

[Julian]

Yeah, but like, with that, it's like the bird, meaning the bird in the cage representing black people in America always oppressed all the shit that comes with that. And then the white bird roaming free, the dove that has the ability to do whatever it wants. And I thought in the inverse of that, what Kendrick did was put the. The owl, the. The Drake, the domineering figure into the cage and like, kind of like symbolizing that, your time's up. Stay in there. I'm. I'm. The black bird's out.

[Mal]

Now the black bird sings. Yeah, that's the. That's the dive he went on.

[Julian]

Oh, yeah, I kind of.

[Rory]

But I kind of thought that was pretty straight up theory of that shot. I don't think that's a far fetch.

[Julian]

Yeah, I think.

[Rory]

I think that's kind of what all of us took from that shot.

[Mal]

I mean, obviously, it was a symbolic thing. You put an owl in a cage, whether you read Maya Angelou's book or not, you're gonna attach that to that meaning of, okay, I got him in the cage. Now it's over.

[Rory]

I want to see the BTS of Kendrick with the owl, like, in between shots. That's. That's the content I really want to see. As someone that's worked with animals on video sets before, it is the craziest thing you can ever do. I did it with cats and had a bad experience. I could only imagine a live owl on Kendrick's arm in between shots. Like. Yeah, we're getting the blocking and the lighting together. Yeah, I have an owl on my arm. Guys, can we figure this out?

[Mal]

Doesn't big boy have owls?

[Julian]

Yeah, he does.

[Mal]

Like, you just have them in the studio? Like, just.

[Julian]

Yeah, he has pet owls.

[Mal]

That's crazy.

[Damaris]

They said the owl probably thought he was going to a Harry Potter audition.

[Mal]

Who said that?

[Damaris]

Somebody on Twitter.

[Rory]

He was represented by CAA and yo.

[Damaris]

That had me cracking up.

[Rory]

Owls are very interesting creatures.

[Julian]

They're beautiful.

[Rory]

They're kind of terrifying, though.

[Julian]

I think they're beautiful.

[Rory]

Have you guys seen the Fourth Kind? The movie?

[Damaris]

No.

[Rory]

And the connection between owls and aliens.

[Julian]

Here we go.

[Rory]

Oh, my bad.

[Mal]

Sometimes you just gotta leave a hat at home.

[Rory]

The Fourth Kind is a movie.

[Mal]

I know, I understand that. I understand that.

[Rory]

It's like a blockbuster movie. There's no conspiracy.

[Mal]

Get that part.

[Rory]

They just tie in the connection between owls and aliens in the movie.

[Mal]

Oh, okay. What is the science between animals?

[Rory]

They're the same thing, those things.

[Mal]

Aliens.

[Rory]

Yeah. What other creature can turn its head360?

[Julian]

Did you guys see. Speaking of owls, there's something like in California that they're doing a population control thing where they're about to kill off a half a million owls.

[Rory]

What are the Killing all the mice. They just need to put a bunch of owls in the New York City subway system to catch the rats. Just get. Yeah, get all the rats out. Instead of killing these beautiful creatures, just throw them in the A train.

[Julian]

Can you imagine a bunch of owls just being loose in your.

[Damaris]

God, I'd rather the rats.

[Julian]

I just leave my window open and the owl just flying.

[Mal]

Yo, you know how.

[Rory]

Have you seen how big an owl's claw is?

[Mal]

Yo, you.

[Rory]

You just sitting on the bench waiting for the train.

[Mal]

Imagine you had your window open and you go to the bathroom. You come back and it's an owl sitting on your. On your tv.

[Damaris]

You mean his tv? Because I'm. I moved out.

[Rory]

Yeah, I got about this your crib now.

[Mal]

Yo, seeing a bird in your house that ain't yours, that has to be one of the scariest things ever.

[Damaris]

Well, like, you know, a lot of people have bat Will get a bat or two.

[Rory]

So house my My aunt that lives upstate. And I don't know if this is true because my family lies to me a lot. Said one time when she was asleep, like on her bed frame, like the headrest thing, there was a bat just hanging and she like looked over and it was there. And then they just ran out and I guess called like, whatever. The cops for animals.

[Julian]

Are the cops animal control? Yeah, police.

[Rory]

Oh, we need to defund the police. The cops are showing up when bats are around.

[Mal]

They show up for anything else, just shoot them. If niggas is around, they show up and shoot them. Why not Bird?

[Rory]

They would probably take good care of the bat.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah, 100%.

[Rory]

Bats are like one of my fears with animals.

[Mal]

Seeing a bat in your house is wild as fuck. How does a bat get in?

[Julian]

Happen to my parents before my dad's.

[Mal]

Yeah, the front doors are just wide open.

[Julian]

A door, window crack, something like that. My dad took a broom and chimneys.

[Damaris]

Sometimes attics, like top at like, you know, older houses will have little holes in them. They'll come in through attics and things like that.

[Mal]

Yeah, now I'm cool.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I'm terrified of that.

[Julian]

A bat. I'd rather have an owl get in the house.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I'm terrified of bats. I'm terrified of anything with wings, but.

[Mal]

All right, so.

[Rory]

Well, those owls that we see in like these beautiful photos are not what I feel like the average owl in the wild that would show up in your crib would look like. Like those look like beautiful, majestic National Geographic photographer shots. Like, what does a real owl just look like when it's.

[Julian]

So a barn owl is the most common. Common.

[Rory]

Like, I don't think it would be groomed this way. Like it just left.

[Julian]

That's a bad.

[Rory]

Yeah, that is.

[Julian]

It's serving as they would say in Brooklyn.

[Rory]

In Brooklyn, it's a very pretentious animal.

[Julian]

So it's a contiel.

[Rory]

Like, I don't think that's flying into your house.

[Julian]

Also. That is terrifying. Like, it's beautiful in the photo, but that face facade that looks like when.

[Rory]

Bailey leaves the groomers. I want to know what the real owl, the musty owl, the musty that would show up in your crib.

[Damaris]

Bro, look. What you looking for?

[Rory]

That'd be terrifying. Well, either way. What do you think Drake thought about the video? Did you guys talk?

[Mal]

No, but I don't. I think that, you know, obviously he knew that this was a video that they was planning on doing for a while. I thought the video would have came out probably right after The Amazon show. But this is probably the last. I mean, I'm pretty sure on the album, Kendrick is probably still going to have some verses and some. Some lines tailored for Drake. But I think this is probably as far as the beef battle. This was probably the last installment of that. We was waiting for this, for this visual of the video. I mean, he kept it la. Went to Tam's Burgers and all of that.

[Rory]

A lot of crump dancing.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, you know, he kept it la. But now what? Now we gotta get the album. We gotta get the music.

[Rory]

I mean, I love.

[Mal]

What does Drake do from here?

[Rory]

He brought back the snippet. Cause that used to be a thing.

[Damaris]

Yeah, snippet in the beginning or at the end?

[Rory]

At the end for the next single. I thought that was great. So I'm excited for this beef to just be over and move on to music. Cause again, I love that snippet. Even though it was 10 seconds, it sounds fire. So, yeah, I'm excited for music. I hope it's in the next two weeks.

[Mal]

Yeah, I want to hear the album. I want to hear what. Because obviously, you know, you just look at the whole entire beef and how this thing started. Like, there's a lot of questions, like, why did. Obviously, Kendrick was prepared for this situation. He wanted this moment. But my thing is why use the Future album song to basically start it?

[Rory]

Well, if that's.

[Mal]

Why not a record of your own? And just. That's the only question I still have. And like, why did it start? Cause you gotta go back to where it started. Well, it didn't start there, but you gotta go back to that. That Future record. Like that and that. Like that in that verse. Like, why did Kendrick choose that moment to basically set this entire historic thing off? Like, why was it that.

[Rory]

I'm sick and tired of watching since.

[Mal]

We deep dive everything else. Like, let's deep dive on that stage. Why. Why use that moment? I just. That's the one thing I keep thinking about. Like, why would you. Because you essentially gave Future a part of this moment. Right.

[Rory]

He gave them the song of the summer until not like Us came out.

[Mal]

Right. So you gave.

[Rory]

Like, that was supposed to be.

[Mal]

So you gave them that moment. It started there. That song went number one. Right.

[Rory]

Malivia.

[Mal]

So I just. That's the only thing I keep asking myself is why use that one? Why not just.

[Rory]

But why not? When you're seeing. After First Person Shooter comes out, why do Cole and Drake then go on tour together after First Person Shooter? Like, I see your wise, but you could say wise with everything else. Why are they now. Why are they now making a moment out of this song that has to do with the big three, but there's one missing. And now you guys are on tour together.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I don't think it's unwarranted for Kendrick to be like, yeah, y'all, it's me.

[Mal]

That's a little odd, because the record wasn't dissing Kendrick. First person shooter wasn't dissing Kendrick. Drake still doesn't understand why Cole would even put that verse in there. Like, he didn't understand that part of it, but whatever. That's your bars. That's your bars. But now it's like, even that record.

[Rory]

Like, that's your bars. That's your bars. It's funny.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Cause as an artist, as a rapper, I don't think that you as big as an artist as Drake is. I don't even think Drake would tell J. Cole to change his verse.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

You understand what I'm saying? Like, you don't tell J. Cole to change his verse. That's not something that niggas is.

[Rory]

Cole would laugh.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, you're not telling J. Cole to change his verse. Right. So you listen to the verse that he did and you like, okay, you sure about that? Because again, now you can't even perform that record. And that's his. What was that, Cole's first number one?

[Damaris]

Yeah, I believe so.

[Mal]

You can't perform your first number one record. What artist can't perform their first number one record?

[Rory]

Rick Ross.

[Mal]

He has one with Drake. Yeah. Oh, well, you understand what I'm saying? Like, it's just, like, he didn't think.

[Damaris]

It through, I think.

[Mal]

I think Game doesn't count. Back to what Rory said.

[Rory]

Like, Game performs how we do all the time.

[Mal]

Back to what Rory said about and Hater. Love it. Maybe Kendrick hearing it and hearing that song and then him being on tour, maybe that rubbed him the wrong way. But I don't understand why that would rub him the wrong way.

[Rory]

Because they rub the wrong way. But just competition of, like, all right, bet. If this is what y'all doing, y'all clicking up.

[Damaris]

Kendrick Bennett, like, have we forgotten the control verse? It was never lovey dovey type shit. J. Cole, as I listen, I actually.

[Rory]

Thought it was very nice. He said, hey, I love all of you guys, but you're my competition. I think that's the exact quote.

[Mal]

No, listen, I get that part. Like, I said, it didn't start with the, like, that record, but that, like, that verse Set all of this off.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

And I just. I'm just trying to figure out why Kendrick would use that moment on a future album instead of just putting out a Kendrick record.

[Rory]

Okay, but we have to go back a bit with First Person Shooter because we now know that's public information. I'm not spilling tea. Quote, unquote. He was supposed to be on that. Yeah, that's why he says in not like us. Are you, my friend? Are we locked in? That was a DM between or a text between the two of them when Drake was trying to get Kendrick on what became First Person Shooter. So there was a weird back and forth with them not sending each other verses and some weird tension of it not happening. So it existed. And then Drake did what I would have done, too.

[Mal]

All right, cool.

[Rory]

You want to be a part of it? Me and Cole are going to continue with this record.

[Mal]

Yeah, but even if I do that, nobody's dissing you on the record. I can understand if I do, but.

[Rory]

You know, rappers are sensitive and can take any little bar that we may not even understand. That's a whole other conversation and find it offensive.

[Mal]

I get that. But we. We're dealing with the song that we got and that we heard no matter what it was started as if it was supposed. You supposed to be on it. If you're not on it. And then we still move forward and put it out. As long as we not kicking your backing on the record. What are you mad about? Like, you didn't send the verse. You thought we was gonna hold this record forever? No, like, the moment is gone. Put the record out. But we're not shitting on you on the record.

[Rory]

I don't have a rapper now.

[Mal]

Maybe you heard a bar that you kinda.

[Rory]

I don't have a rapper's brain that way.

[Mal]

No, listen, that's why I said. I'm just.

[Rory]

I know a lot of rappers that talk about that brain. And I'm like, wait, you found that offensive?

[Mal]

Cause a lot of things I hear, I'm like, but why you took it that way? Like, I don't think that that was. But that's what I'm saying. I just want to know.

[Rory]

Rappers take an ad lib and be like, yo, that's the one. I'm like, what?

[Mal]

That's the one question I would ask Kendrick. Why use that record in that moment to basically set this entire thing?

[Rory]

I mean, it worked.

[Damaris]

I feel like it did, but I.

[Mal]

Feel like a regular Kendrick song with that verse in it would have worked.

[Damaris]

I feel like sometimes we try to, like, put strategy in things. There wasn't. I think Kendrick had a lot of strategy in this battle, but sometimes I think things are pretty simple. He was in. He, like, was conversing with a nigga that don't like Drake, and it was just like, oh. Like, I don't think he thought about it too much. Like, yeah, I'm gonna use this moment. I think he probably just heard the beat. They asked Kendrick for a feature. He heard the beat, and he just started going off on it. And the disses just started flowing out of his body.

[Rory]

And competition wise, if my two peers.

[Mal]

That's not how that works. That's not how that works.

[Rory]

My two peers have the biggest rap.

[Damaris]

Record that's very peer right now, and it was on his mind.

[Mal]

All right, cool. Yeah, yeah. But, like, that ain't even the song for that type of shit.

[Rory]

It worked, though.

[Julian]

Yeah, it was. It became that. It is.

[Mal]

Of course it worked. But my thing is, it would have worked if it was just a Kendrick Lamar record.

[Damaris]

Y. I get what Maul's saying.

[Mal]

Y'all missing that part. Kendrick could have said exactly what he said on that record, on his own record, and it would have worked. I'm just saying, why did he use that moment, that album, that song, to basically start this entire. Or set this thing to another level? Like, that's the only question I have in all this is like. Cause that looking back, it's like, why did you do that there?

[Rory]

Well, if this was his plan all along, this was a masterclass in planning and the art of war.

[Damaris]

I don't think it was his plan all along.

[Rory]

I don't fully think that either, but I think let's. Let's deal with what we do know and what happened. And now the dust is settled and the video's out. I think this is probably the end. There'll be shots back and forth, don't get me wrong. But this, it's over now. What a great moment for hip hop. Like, can we all just stop debating? Like, this was awesome. We'll never see this again. This was the greatest shit ever.

[Mal]

This was.

[Rory]

This was shout out to Kendrick and Drake.

[Mal]

Yeah. And. And their camps. But this was a moment that obviously we're going to talk about forever. Probably forever. We'll keep going back to this moment, but I just think that it's a lot of things that we're going to learn about basically the origin of all of this shit.

[Rory]

I'm excited for what happens from here.

[Mal]

As far as music from these respective.

[Rory]

Artists, you know, like, 20 years later, Vlad started interviewing anyone that remotely touched Tupac. Even if they were just happened to pass Tupac in the hallway, they get like a full Vlad interview. I'm excited. Fifteen years from now, whoever the Vlad is to interview literally anyone that was around to put together the pieces of this whole thing, that's going to be fun for me to watch. I think we'll learn more at that point.

[Mal]

I don't. I don't think it's. Again, I do think we'll still get some bars and, you know, some. Some metaphors and things like that from each artist. I don't think that this is like, we'll never hear these artists send shots at each other again. I don't think that's over.

[Rory]

I think my. My prediction. There's never been a heart on an official Kendrick album. I think the intro to this album will be hard. Part six or the outro. Just my guess.

[Mal]

And you still don't think Not Like Us is going to be.

[Rory]

I don't think Not Like Us will be on that.

[Julian]

Yeah, I still don't think so.

[Mal]

Y'all are crazy. Y'all doubling down on that.

[Julian]

Yep.

[Mal]

Y'all are sick. If y'all think this song is not gonna be an album.

[Rory]

How they do streams with album sales. If this was 2016. Yes. Not like us would 100 be on that album. But they don't count the single streams the same way anymore.

[Mal]

I don't care what you talking about. This song is gonna be on that album. It's gonna be in the track list. Not down with the asterisks next to it, like a bonus. No, this is going to be okay.

[Rory]

When you hear in the album sequence, maybe you'll like it more. Will it be one of those for you? Like, oh, once I heard it in the album, I go back.

[Mal]

I always said, if you take that pedophile weird shit out of this song, cool, I'm fucking with it. That's the only reason why I can't fuck with that song. We not making it cool to sing and dance about pedophilia. The fuck is that? I'm never doing that. I'm never jumping on the street.

[Rory]

I understand what you're trying to say.

[Mal]

Yeah, like, I'm not doing. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. But that aside, good song.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Not mad at it at all, but I can't. Nah, I'm not. I'm not singing and dancing to pedophilia. Not doing that.

[Damaris]

I respect you for that.

[Mal]

Yeah, like not outing somebody as an alleged pedophile. I'm supposed to walk down the street and start dancing.

[Damaris]

If somebody dissed me, will you not dance to it too?

[Mal]

If somebody dis you, I dance to your Derek. If they. If they. But I'm saying, if they dish. If they. Saying your bars is whack and just dissing your bars, I'm like, okay, you.

[Damaris]

Nah, you can't dance. Be loyal. Be loyal.

[Mal]

Nah. But if somebody be like, yo, Baby D is a klepto. She be stealing all my shit. And you ain't no klepto. I'm not jacking that. I'm like, yo, she ain't baby.

[Rory]

That's where you draw the line with. Baby D is klepto.

[Mal]

Yeah, she don't. She don't steal.

[Damaris]

Like, I don't steal.

[Mal]

Yeah, exactly.

[Rory]

See, the whole first half of this episode was all of us talking about stealing.

[Damaris]

No, was you.

[Mal]

As kids. As children, yes. We've all done it. We've all done it.

[Damaris]

No, Rory was talking about how he.

[Rory]

Steals as an adult right now with. With the story.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I forgot. You put your daughter in the line.

[Rory]

You know how expensive avocados are right now?

[Mal]

I get it. I understand.

[Damaris]

And they go bad. And, like, it's like they're never ripe. They're never ripe, and they're right for seven hours.

[Mal]

Put that avocado.

[Rory]

Avocado and tea are very similar. Similar in that way. Like, tea is tough to. It's either scorching hot, and then I'll wait, and then it's cold as. Yeah, like, you have to catch it at the right time.

[Julian]

They've genetically modified everything that we consume, and they still can't figure out the. The avocado aging process.

[Rory]

I would prefer paper bag.

[Mal]

Yeah, dark. Dark. Like, back of the cabinet type of thing.

[Rory]

Put it next to a banana.

[Mal]

They always have something like that, right? I'm like, why didn't I ever think about putting the garlic inside the fridge by the fruit?

[Rory]

Watch one Instagram reel and learn about the entire vegetation system.

[Mal]

Yeah. It's like, yo, is your watermelon going bad fast? Cut up some garlic and stick it inside the watermelon. Okay, now I have garlic, watermelon. I don't want that.

[Damaris]

I was on Tick tock like that for the fruit flies. The fruit flies. Oh, my God.

[Rory]

Oh. Since you guys told me that Drano will kill my pipes, like, I lost sleep that next day when you guys told me that because I've been using Drano my entire life. I found baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice. Boiling water is the best way to clean your pipes.

[Damaris]

And get rid of fruit flies as well.

[Rory]

I mean, I don't have those.

[Damaris]

Oh, my bad. Don't eat fruit.

[Rory]

Yeah. Bacon. Bacon, brats and whiskey. That's all that's in my house.

[Mal]

That's it.

[Rory]

Grapes in America.

[Mal]

Great. You got autism or something.

[Julian]

Grapes is fruit.

[Mal]

What? Who just says grapes?

[Rory]

Johnny Drama.

[Julian]

I meant to say. I meant to say to make a joke about wine and then instead of saying wine, I was going to say wine is grapes and grapes are.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah.

[Julian]

But I. I just said grapes are.

[Rory]

And tequila is like agave.

[Julian]

Obvious.

[Rory]

Same. Right.

[Mal]

Vegan. Yeah, I get it.

[Rory]

It's vegan. Since it's been another week, I'm doubling down with Lucky Day, having album of the year so far. Doubling down.

[Mal]

So I. I made sure I locked in with the album this weekend. You know, I like to play music and just not pay attention to it, Just have it playing in the background. Kind of like you had a nice hotel lounge. Not really paying no mind. But then you look over at the piano player like he's killing.

[Rory]

Where's my Shazam at?

[Mal]

So. So I let them. The Lucky Day album play. That album is. Is phenomenal.

[Rory]

It's a algorithm right now, to me.

[Mal]

Oh, man. Algorithm. The song, Algorithm, Lemonade. It's crazy. Like, he got so many joints on there. I think the difference between. Cause I still. Bryson Tiller's album is incredible, but the vibe of these two albums are totally different completely.

[Rory]

That's why when we were talking about it last episode, I was like, I can't compare them. They're not the same.

[Mal]

Now that I really listened to it. And I totally get what you were saying. I understand. But this Lucky Day album is definitely, definitely one of his best albums. Lucky Day don't have a bad album. And that's.

[Rory]

No, he's three for three.

[Mal]

He don't have a bad album. But this, this. This Algorithm album is. Is phenomenal. He did a great job on it. Shout out to Lucky Day. Shout out to his team. Phenomenal project. Yeah. I think Lucky Day is, you know, we talk about the R and B guys, the new R and B guys, obviously, Brent Bryson, but Lucky Day is. He's right there in that conversation. I don't know.

[Rory]

I think this place, this one kind of separated. Not separated him from the pack because Bryson obviously and Brent are who they are, but this just kind of put him to another.

[Mal]

Lucky is more vocally, he's vocally stronger than Bryson and Brent. But I'm just about as far as their album making and their song making.

[Rory]

I never got Frank from Lucky like that until I started hearing everyone say that the past two weeks.

[Mal]

Frank Ocean.

[Rory]

Yeah. And then I started to hear it like, you know when people just get in your head.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Of course I can see the vocal tones are similar, but I never thought like, oh, this feels like a Frank.

[Mal]

Even.

[Rory]

Even once people said it, I was like, okay, I guess I see what people are saying.

[Mal]

But even lyrics, though, like, Frank Ocean esque.

[Rory]

Like, which is a compliment.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, like, it's one of the.

[Rory]

Greatest written album I've ever heard.

[Mal]

But to me, Lucky Day is his songs and the lyrics and the melodies and things like that. Like, he's. Lucky is very intentional and knows exactly, very aware. He knows the sound that he wants to make. He doesn't never really step too far out of his box, but he somehow. What he has and what he does, he finds a unique way of kind of making slight adjustments to it where it's not weird. You know, sometimes your favorite artists make an album and you like, this ain't the sound that I love from them.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Lucky is able to make. Keep that sound, but just give it to us differently. It's like he finds different ways to. You know, whether it's the production. I laughed. Cause I was listening to one of the songs and I was like, Rory's probably sitting at home saying, oh, he's just Child's drums.

[Rory]

Like, first of all, D Mile and Child work very closely together on everything.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, but I heard it. Listen, I heard the drums. I'm just letting you know I heard the drums.

[Rory]

Why didn't you call me and apologize?

[Mal]

Nah, because I.

[Rory]

And put Yachty on three way.

[Mal]

Because I. I was just. I was just listening. I was.

[Rory]

And Child are like.

[Mal]

They work every day together, 100%, so. But you can hear it, though. Yeah, it could definitely.

[Rory]

I'm sure Child's probably credited on the song that you're thinking of.

[Mal]

No, no, the album is. The album is fire, though. Lucky Day, he definitely did his thing with this album. And again, I. Looking at his discography, I don't see no. I don't see no gaps. I don't see no Mrs. At all.

[Rory]

I found out officially, I think I'm a good father. Officially, as of this weekend.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

I did need some rest. But you guys know the long week I had before, which we didn't talk about on the podcast, but you guys know.

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Rory]

So you know, Kia, that comes along With a tough week for Kia as well. With Amara, I had passes to the Childish Gambino pop up show at the Little Tree.

[Julian]

Little Island.

[Rory]

Little island, whatever. The thing that the billionaires gave us after they took all our parks. That place, which is still. Is that just still crazy to me. Billionaires took our parks, and we're like, here. We're gonna put some floating in the Hudson. It's the woman that no one can get into.

[Julian]

The woman that owns the brand dvf. Donna Van versus whatever the. Her name is. It's her. Her and her husband, Donna Van Rothschild. It was a project.

[Rory]

Donovan Vanderbilt, Diane Brown Foster. Something like, you know.

[Julian]

Yeah. The fashion chick.

[Rory]

Someone that owns bank of America. So Childish Gambino did, like, a live listening event for his new album. Performed all the songs, and I knew I was a good father when I had passes, and I was like, you know what?

[Mal]

Nah, I'm gonna stay home.

[Rory]

I'm gonna stay home.

[Mal]

That's. That's the barometer for, like, if I'm.

[Rory]

With Amara, nothing can. Every day.

[Mal]

Nothing can disrupt you.

[Rory]

But at that point, I was like, look at me. Yeah, it was right down the block, too. I was like, I could run there for, like, two hours. Run right back.

[Mal]

You know what? Stay with my baby girl.

[Rory]

Stay right here.

[Mal]

Solid father.

[Rory]

But then. Then I saw all, like, the video recaps and all the clips, and I looked at Amara and I was like, yo, you. Yeah, you would have been fine. We did nothing while you were here. We looked at flashcards.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And learned how to say apple. You could have learned how to say apple yesterday or.

[Mal]

This looked like a dope event, though.

[Rory]

Well, that. That venue.

[Julian]

You're a shitty friend. I would have gone to this. You could have given me.

[Rory]

That's not how those type of passes work.

[Julian]

Nah, but, like, technically.

[Mal]

Nah, but, like, text groups. Yeah. Julian.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

It wasn't one of those can I give my past to someone else type of thing. No, it's like, hey, I'm gonna meet you at the front and bring you in. Yeah.

[Julian]

I could have gone white. White face.

[Damaris]

No, they ain't want you.

[Julian]

No.

[Rory]

July 19th. The album's coming out. He previewed records with Amaray, Georgia Smith, Flo, Millie, Steve Lacy, his son, Legend. Glover put out a snippet for that. It just sounds great. I'm always excited for Childish Gambino music. I know he gave us the album that was like, 15 years old last month, but I'm excited for the new music.

[Mal]

Oh, we love. We love Donald Glover. We just didn't want him wearing curtains to honor Usher. That's all. This is the only. Only gripe with him.

[Rory]

I mean, I'm gonna bring this up. If this album ends up being a classic at, like, Amara's 13th birthday, I'm gonna bring it up to her that, like, I chose you instead of seeing history.

[Mal]

Seeing history. That wasn't history.

[Rory]

No. At the tiny island.

[Mal]

It was a cool night. It was just a cool.

[Rory]

Have you been on tiny Island?

[Mal]

No.

[Julian]

Have you guys ever been over there? It is gorgeous.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, I've been over there, but I've never been, like, inside for a show or anything like that.

[Rory]

I saw some piano player like Mozart there by accident once.

[Julian]

Some Mozart there.

[Rory]

It's the best way I could describe it.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But I mean, I do want to boycott this place.

[Julian]

Why?

[Rory]

Because they, like, took money that should have went to parks and gave us this instead. There's a lot of history with this tiny island.

[Mal]

Well, I mean, a lot of.

[Julian]

In Manhattan, they donated 260 million. That couple that I met.

[Rory]

Yeah, that was after they got so much because they built this. It was a bunch of tax dollars. Like, they also got money from the city that should have went to parks.

[Mal]

Yeah, but that happens all the time.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Welcome to New York City.

[Rory]

I mean, at least the Yankees put a whole park.

[Mal]

At least they win, right?

[Julian]

Yankees haven't won.

[Rory]

Not since after that game.

[Julian]

Yeah, they lost like 14 of their last 17.

[Damaris]

I hate an unlucky white man. What's the point?

[Mal]

That's wild. I hate an unlucky white man.

[Julian]

We were all lucky.

[Mal]

They're lucky to be white. What do you mean unlucky? How come white man be unlucky?

[Rory]

It's great over here.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Do we have voicemails?

[Julian]

Yeah. Yes.

[Mal]

You've got mail.

[Julian]

I feel like I haven't said this in a while. Just a reminder, if you want to leave a voicemail, subscribe to our Patreon. It's pinned to the top of the Patreon, so it's easy. If you have any problems, just message that account. Damaris or myself will respond and get you the link directly, but it's available to all subscribers from 5, 10 and $20 tiers. So please keep calling in, keep calling back. If we ask for a follow up. And let's. Let's get into today's.

[Rory]

Do we still have the $50,000 tier up there?

[Julian]

It' yeah.

[Damaris]

Nobody's bought it.

[Rory]

No one's bit yet. Crazy.

[Mal]

It's crazy. Inflation.

[Julian]

You think like. Well, I was going to think One of these. I figured, like, one of these streamers would do it just to get access to J.

[Rory]

Like I said, when we, like, I really think if somebody did take that $50,000 tier, we would be able to.

[Mal]

Get hove to do that for 50k.

[Rory]

I think he would laugh if we were like, yo, we had a $50,000 Patreon tier and someone actually just gave us.

[Mal]

You think he.

[Rory]

To do a lunch with you?

[Julian]

You think?

[Rory]

I think hov it as a joke for us. I really do think that.

[Julian]

Would he have a fee to do that for you? You know what I mean?

[Rory]

No, HOV doesn't have fees.

[Damaris]

We can't afford his fees. No one can. That's why he wasn't charged.

[Mal]

Don't exist a four million dollar watch to a white party. Fees. Look at this.

[Rory]

Oh, what's your rate these days?

[Julian]

I'm not. I mean, I know I'm not. He wouldn't do this to you. I'm saying it would. Another person I could see, not hov particularly, but if there was a tier, say another artist, and they would be like, okay, it's $50,000. I want half of it.

[Rory]

They would want 50,000.

[Julian]

They would want. They would want the fee.

[Mal]

The whole. Yeah, they would want the whole.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I think hov would do it as a joke. I really do think that.

[Mal]

Didn't he do one of the. He spoke to that. The way he said, take the money.

[Damaris]

Yeah, take the money.

[Mal]

Like, don't take the lunch. Take the money.

[Rory]

Well, that advice anyone really needed.

[Mal]

No, def. Not me. I tried to tell you. I was like, take the money, man. Trust me. Nah, but the lunch is not that good.

[Julian]

Okay, let's wait.

[Damaris]

Do we buy the lunch? Like, if I. If I take dinner with Jay Z, like, do I have to pay for the dinner because he got expensive palette.

[Rory]

I feel like we'd end up at a restaurant where he already has like a tab. Like, he just walks in and walks out and they bill him at the end of the month.

[Mal]

Yeah, I would. Or the end of the fiscal year.

[Rory]

Definitely the fiscal year.

[Mal]

You got to talk fiscal year when you're dealing with somebody with money like that.

[Rory]

And he'll pay him in three to five business days.

[Mal]

Yo, get to the voicemail.

[Julian]

Well, you guys were riffing about Jay Z and dinner. I don't. All right, you were.

[Caller]

Yo, what's up, everyone? What's up, pod? Big fan here. I've been with y'all since about like 2018, 2019. Around Scorpion dropped, and I've been rolling with Y'all, ever since, you know, sick timeline. Get it? Question. What's the disconnect I hear between the word, like, for the word insecurity? I believe that word is being misused so bad in today's society. From what I've noticed, from what I've seen, the people I've talked to, the experiences I've experienced, you know, I'm in a happy relationship. I've been with my girl for about, like, four years now. So we're doing pretty good. Thank God. Everything's pretty good till now, you know.

[Rory]

Be on the rocks.

[Caller]

I see women kind of just doing what, Literally whatever they want and just, like, saying the guy can't be insecure or, like, the girlfriend's girlfriends, like, her friends are telling him he's insecure. She's like, she can wear anything she wants. She can wear a skirt that's showing her the bottom of her butt cheeks. She could go out of Dykman.

[Julian]

That's right.

[Caller]

Twerk all night on top of a table. You better not be insecure. She could go sleep over her male best friend's house for three days straight. You better not be.

[Rory]

Three days straight is crazy news on Instagram.

[Caller]

You better not be insecure.

[Rory]

Instagram doesn't allow nudes.

[Julian]

Yeah, that's a wild loophole.

[Mal]

Yo. Show me. Show me the guy that's letting his girl sleep at her best friend's house. Her male best friend's house for three days.

[Rory]

We've had this convo, but three days. I'm drawing the line.

[Mal]

One day.

[Rory]

We've had that debate already.

[Mal]

My girl ain't sleeping one day.

[Rory]

Three days is crazy.

[Mal]

Ripping. Man. Are y'all.

[Damaris]

Are you home, boy? She homeless.

[Mal]

No, she go to your house.

[Rory]

That's my girl. She can't be homeless.

[Damaris]

I have a homeless be homeless. They do.

[Mal]

Show me one. Who girl for this.

[Damaris]

They do. Bitches be homeless.

[Rory]

That's not his girl. That's a chick he fucks. That's homeless.

[Mal]

Your man got a crib, but you homeless.

[Damaris]

He got a roommate. Shit. Wow.

[Mal]

You still not homeless? You can sleep in my room like you stay in my room. Homeless. Yo. A nigga having a girlfriend. Is she homeless?

[Julian]

Is the go to sleep peacefully knowing your girl? You just have no idea.

[Mal]

Not knowing where she's sleeping with her best friend.

[Damaris]

Her male best friend. How he got more room?

[Mal]

A male best friend.

[Rory]

He got more room.

[Mal]

He got more room.

[Rory]

I got a bed.

[Mal]

I know. More room, huh?

[Damaris]

He got a bedroom for me. It's mine.

[Julian]

That's kind of nice.

[Mal]

That's crazy. You know how wild that is. Your girl homeless, and you just like, yo, all right, you tell her good night. Tell her her good night. And you don't know where she laying down at. Y'all not. Y'all not doing the math on that, yo.

[Rory]

All right, well, I do kind of agree with this gentleman.

[Julian]

Wait, we're not done yet. We're not done yet.

[Rory]

Oh, he's still going.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, he was. Oh, my pardon self.

[Julian]

Hold on. Here you go.

[Caller]

Anything she likes. And if you're insecure, you're officially that weak man. That weak, insecure man. What do you guys think about that? Like, how far does that go? How far does that word go?

[Julian]

So the overuse of the term insecurity with Madison, that's.

[Mal]

That's. I'm dealing with a manipulative girlfriend, bro. If your girl's saying you're insecure, she's doing all of that. That's her way of trying to manipulate you into thinking that you are not man enough or secure enough to deal with a woman like herself because she's out moving like she's not in a relationship.

[Rory]

I do agree with him. And you guys have called me pussy before because I am more on the side of a secure man that is cool with some things that you masculine alpha males are not cool with. He is correct, though. Women have taken this insecure word and ran with it like you would not believe.

[Damaris]

Like, oh, only women.

[Julian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

100 just women facts. Like, nah, you ass naked and dykeman standing on a table shaking your ass. I'm not insecure. If we're in a relationship. And I'd be like, hey, can you not do that?

[Damaris]

Can you get down?

[Julian]

Yeah, there's.

[Rory]

Can you, like, do you mind just, like, getting off the table? Like, we're in a relationship.

[Julian]

There's a blur between, I think, being insecure and just things that you're just not attracted to. Like, I'm not insecure about it. I just don't find that attractive behavior attractive. It's not a matter of you doing it because I'm a. Yeah.

[Mal]

It's just.

[Julian]

How about you?

[Rory]

I've changed behavior of mine because we're in a relationship. Like, that's what you do. It's not an insecurity.

[Julian]

Don't flash it.

[Rory]

You just respect your partner.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, listen, if you want to be. Have your ass out on Instagram. That is what it is at this point. That's life. But we have to draw the line somewhere.

[Mal]

I think it's funny, man. He said, yo, your girl spent a night at her best friend's house for three days.

[Julian]

I hope he made that scenario up. And that's not like that's his scenario.

[Damaris]

Three days is crazy.

[Julian]

72 hours.

[Mal]

One day is crazy.

[Damaris]

I don't want to. I don't want to see my nigga for three days. Imagine somebody else is n good, yo.

[Mal]

You know how crazy that is? Your girl tell you, yo, I'm at my best friend's house for day three.

[Damaris]

Well, maybe his mom died.

[Rory]

I'm not.

[Mal]

What?

[Julian]

Damaris. What?

[Mal]

And guess who about to join his mom? Oh, you. That hurt.

[Rory]

First of all, I'm not secure enough to not see my girl for three days. The is you doing, let alone just being at your male best friend's house for three days. What you been doing for the last three days?

[Mal]

You can't go through days without seeing your girl.

[Rory]

Girl, probably not, no.

[Mal]

But why, though? Prior.

[Damaris]

Prior to the baby, you couldn't do it.

[Mal]

Oh, prior to the baby?

[Rory]

Cuz I like my girl.

[Mal]

Like, you can like your girl still not want to see her for three days. Like, after three days, not be like, yo, like what?

[Rory]

Like, I mean, there's priorities. Like, people have to work and like, they would be on tour and everything, but I enjoy spending time with my girl.

[Mal]

Like, no, no, I get. Yes. That part we not understand.

[Rory]

I'm one of those people that, like, likes their girlfriend.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, but I'm just saying, like, you saying, like, if you don't see a girl for three days, that's crazy to you. You.

[Rory]

Yeah, cuz we live in the same city.

[Julian]

Yeah, but it's a big city.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

No, it's not.

[Damaris]

What if she lived in Brooklyn?

[Julian]

Yeah, traffic here is crazy too.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Three days.

[Julian]

Three days to get somewhere.

[Damaris]

Now if I'm dating a in Queens, I ain't gonna see him for three days.

[Rory]

You guys both work in the city.

[Mal]

I ain't gonna lie. Not seeing you for three days and y'all both work in the city is wild. Somebody cheating facts.

[Damaris]

We can link up for like happy hour, but, like, that's nah.

[Mal]

Somebody.

[Rory]

But I gotta be out by eight.

[Mal]

Somebody.

[Damaris]

Somebody holler clothes.

[Mal]

Somebody. For sure somebody hitting that one of y'all getting.

[Damaris]

Not always. Some people are just antisocial.

[Julian]

Yeah, but that's your.

[Rory]

That's your girlfriend being antisocial to your significant other is insane.

[Damaris]

Rory, don't do that. Because every Father's Day, you come in here and say, I want to be.

[Rory]

Left alone for fathers one day out of the year.

[Mal]

That's it. You didn't say every Thursday. He just said Father's Day. Leave me alone.

[Rory]

Y'all don't think that's crazy to not see if you live in the same city, not see your girl?

[Damaris]

Oh, no, for sure. I don't think it's crazy. I'm sure that outside of, like, obligations.

[Rory]

If people have shit to do or, like, you got something to work, you gotta focus. But y'all just both free three days. Don't see each other.

[Mal]

That ain't tricky.

[Rory]

That's not weird to y'all free.

[Mal]

It is weird if y'all both free. Like, nothing on the schedule. Schedule open.

[Rory]

Just clear.

[Mal]

You like, nah, I don't wanna see you today. For three days? Yeah.

[Rory]

Listen, I think it's healthy to talk about those days with your significant other. Like, yo, I need a day like Saturday. I just needed myself. That's cool. But for three days, y'all got nothing. And y'all not gonna see each other.

[Julian]

Okay, maybe not as serious as a girlfriend, but let me ask you guys this. What is that limit day wise for a situationship?

[Mal]

I don't know. I think it's subjective, first of all, because somebody like me, yo, I'm telling you, I'm at that scary threshold where being alone is. I'm fine with it.

[Damaris]

It's amazing, bro.

[Mal]

Like, I'm at that scary threshold where I'm like, yo, I don't know if I' ever gonna want to give this up.

[Rory]

Well, I mean, I gave it up with the kid, but before that, that's what. To me, it's not gonna sound romantic. Is the reason to be in a relationship because I hate people so much. Only child love, my alone time. If I just want to be around you. Like, all right, death do us part. Let's just do this.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Cause that's hard to find. Cause I like my alone time so much.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's just. I just think that big. Yeah.

[Rory]

Big old.

[Mal]

And it's okay. And.

[Rory]

And it's fine if she goes to Dyckman and just takes her shirt off.

[Mal]

I don't know.

[Rory]

It's cool if someone blows mint hookah on her chest.

[Julian]

That's.

[Damaris]

Yo, you know they're gonna get hard from the mint. That's wild.

[Mal]

Because you're logging online.

[Rory]

That ocean miss. Definitely getting an impulse.

[Mal]

Yo, logging online and seeing a smoke hookah through your girl's cleavage is crazy.

[Rory]

Yo, Though.

[Damaris]

Or like the.

[Rory]

Is that a thing?

[Damaris]

The body shot?

[Mal]

Yeah, like, when they put the hookah.

[Rory]

Thing through, I think body shots for sure.

[Mal]

And just go and take hookah pulls. But imagine a girl.

[Rory]

I've never seen that in my life.

[Mal]

Imagine your girl do that. Like, you go online and see your girl doing it.

[Julian]

If Sydney Sweeney ever wanted to go to a hookah lounge and we can.

[Damaris]

Do that, he gonna bring a white woman in no matter what.

[Julian]

It's out of context. We were talking before we recorded.

[Rory]

They like. They like Camel cigarettes.

[Julian]

What?

[Mal]

No, they vape. They have, like. What are those? The jewels.

[Rory]

They want to hit the vape.

[Mal]

They want to hit the jewels. They don't smoke. Who. They have jewels in their pocket.

[Julian]

What are the new ones called?

[Damaris]

They have a bunch of.

[Rory]

They want, like, a cute blueberry vape.

[Damaris]

You can, like, charge them now. You can charge the cigarettes.

[Mal]

You is just dancing and getting cancer at the same time. Yeah, we gonna find a way to kill ourselves, man.

[Damaris]

I'm telling you, I cut down on hookah because I found out you should just stop. Well, I don't. If I. Well, the way that my brain works, if I tell myself I can't have something, it makes me crave it more.

[Mal]

So instead of, how does your boyfriend feel about that?

[Julian]

Look at girl math about that mindset.

[Mal]

How does your man deal with that mindset?

[Damaris]

I don't have a man.

[Mal]

Well, when you had a man, how did he deal with that mindset? Because that. Does that apply to anything? I don't understand the question. Does that apply to anything or just.

[Rory]

Women never understand the question.

[Mal]

Yeah. Does that apply to just hookah?

[Damaris]

No, it applies to, like, food, alcohol, hookah. Like, those kind of things that are bad for you.

[Mal]

Ex boyfriend. Like, is that part of it, too?

[Damaris]

I love food, hookah, and wine way more than dick. Men don't have to worry about me cheating there. No, I don't like men like that. If I like you, I like you. I'm gonna like a bunch of other women. I don't like men like that. That's not the point. The point is, some people's minds, if you tell them they can't have something, they'll want it more. So I won't say, like, even when I'm dieting, I won't say, I can't have this. I'll say, okay, I'm just not having that as often eventually. Like, I won't eat it at all. Right? But. But I don't want to tell myself I can't have it.

[Mal]

If somebody told me, yo, if you keep smoking that, you're going to get lung cancer. My body's not going to Be like, oh, but I want it. Like, it's over for that.

[Rory]

Also, back to the insecurity conversation. Hey, babe, don't have random men put hookah hoses between your tits and smoke it. And she goes, oh, I want that, though.

[Mal]

I need it.

[Rory]

We should break up then.

[Mal]

Yeah, go be single at that point. Right.

[Damaris]

Can we find out where we could put the mouth on the boobs and the hookah at the same time? Like, being able to put hookah and boobs in, off at the same time. Sounds like a place I want to be.

[Rory]

I was. I was with Peach the first time I got completely. Completely fleeced in New Orleans. Chick put the shot glass between her titties and, like, damn near, like, kind of forced it down my throat.

[Damaris]

And they charged you?

[Rory]

And then just asked me for, like, $35. I was like, wait, you made me do that?

[Julian]

Yeah, that was a sleep coach.

[Damaris]

I walked away from that.

[Rory]

That girl, she legitimately, like, put it right there and then just forced it on my face. I was like, I mean, I'm not gonna push titties away. Yeah.

[Mal]

Who might have traditional.

[Rory]

Yeah. Like this gumbo. Like, I'm here for the whole experience.

[Mal]

I get it. Beads.

[Rory]

It's like, yeah, it's 35. Like, just give me $35.

[Mal]

Rory look like he'll go back to his hotel room with a neck full of beads in New Orleans. What you did. What you did for those beads. No, what you did for those beads, man. What you was out there doing.

[Rory]

I could. Definitely one of the wildest trips I've ever had in my life.

[Mal]

New Orleans, yo. New Orleans. By far, New Orleans is one of the greatest cities in the world.

[Rory]

It. It feels like it should not be in America. Like, it's not very.

[Mal]

You ever been to New Orleans, Julian?

[Julian]

Still haven't, no.

[Mal]

Oh, my God.

[Julian]

High on my list, but more so for the music culture. I really want to go see some shows down there.

[Rory]

Outside of Busta Rhymes, that was gas. When he was saying, fuck the Essence crowd and everything. Did you guys see that clip?

[Julian]

Oh, yeah, I saw that.

[Rory]

The craziest part of that clip was Busta Rhymes said it was his first time in New Orleans.

[Mal]

No, I think at Essence Fest.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I was like, there's no way Busta Rhymes.

[Mal]

No, no, no, no. I think that was his first time performing for Essence Fest.

[Damaris]

Can we go to the next one? Snfs.

[Mal]

Snfs.

[Damaris]

Snfs.

[Rory]

The sns, y'all.

[Damaris]

Can we go? Like, you're pissing me off.

[Rory]

Depends. A lot of no, it don't.

[Mal]

I just want to be in the city for that weekend. I don't even need to go to nothing.

[Damaris]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Julian]

I really just want to enjoy it.

[Mal]

I'll just go to New Orleans just for that weekend.

[Julian]

I want to do Jazz festival is really the. My priority down there.

[Mal]

Did we answer the gentleman's voicemail?

[Damaris]

Nah.

[Mal]

What was his question?

[Damaris]

He said, how do y'all feel? Oh, y'all did. How do you feel about insecurity being overused?

[Rory]

I agree with him wholeheartedly.

[Mal]

It's over.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I agree. It is overused.

[Rory]

I just don't simple. That shouldn't happen in relationships. Women are calling us insecure because we feel away.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I'm just. I can't get over Julian saying his number one priority in New Orleans during Essence Fest is to go to the jazz festival.

[Julian]

Well, during Essence fest is a different weekend.

[Mal]

Jazz fest.

[Julian]

Yes.

[Rory]

I like jazz, too, but are you kidding me?

[Julian]

His lineup's incredible. It was like Masego was on it. Yousef day project. Like, there's some great. We're not going to make fun of jazz fest in New Orleans.

[Rory]

No, of course.

[Mal]

That's impossible.

[Rory]

We're just laughing that, like, out of essence. Oh, I get it.

[Julian]

It.

[Rory]

He doesn't like black women. Now it makes sense.

[Julian]

You don't think the black people will be at jazz Fest.

[Rory]

It's not what I said, but Essence Fest is catered around black women. Now I see why you rejected it so quickly.

[Julian]

I'd rather go to jazz festival. Known thing offering.

[Mal]

Okay, I get it.

[Julian]

Like, I. We go to festivals all the time.

[Mal]

No, listen, let me help you out. Play the next voice.

[Julian]

Yeah, I was just gonna get.

[Rory]

Make sure Peach doesn't leave the car unlocked.

[Damaris]

See why you won't let him.

[Julian]

Was that Peach?

[Rory]

Probably Peach are better one of them.

[Julian]

All right, let's do this next one. This one actually pairs well with the last.

[Rory]

He fleeced us, bro.

[Mal]

Who said that?

[Rory]

Styles.

[Mal]

Oh, my God. They fleeced us. It's crazy, yo, Finding out all your is going. Finding out all your yelling out your leash.

[Rory]

And then Styles went, oh, they left my. And then. And then the whole ride from New Orleans to Jackson, Mississippi, he said, why did God choose me? I've never wanted to turn around and punch somebody in a car so badly.

[Mal]

You got to check that pockets. That's the. That he set the whole play up. Do it now. Don't let your fam. Why did God choose. Pull over, fam. I'm going through all his right now. Yo, pull over.

[Julian]

That that's hilarious. Oh, my God.

[Mal]

They flee us. Yeah, I know.

[Julian]

All right.

[Rory]

City's curse.

[Mal]

This is Arnold from Texas. This is a question from all. So she say he's so player and he gets. Well, I mean, he don't really say he get or anything, but he say he's ladies that right there alone.

[Julian]

Not him projecting his image upon you on you.

[Mal]

Like, show me never sat here and said you never get mad. Show me where I've ever said that.

[Julian]

He just self edited his real time.

[Mal]

He said, well, n. You ain't never. He ain't never said I. So now what the are you talking about already? Your whole voicemail is. Is void now. What the are you talking about? Continue.

[Rory]

This is Reddit in audio form.

[Mal]

Oh, my God.

[Julian]

Yeah, I think mall gets therefore this is for him. This is so funny.

[Mal]

All right, man, whatever. So what's the ideal date to take a woman on? If you want to make it feel special, since small sizes are player and everything. And Rory, of course, because you're married and have a. Have a baby, and I got a baby, too, so.

[Julian]

I appreciate that.

[Mal]

I just want y'all's feedback.

[Rory]

Let me know you appreciate that. I have a baby.

[Mal]

I appreciate that. Appreciate you for having a kid.

[Rory]

Appreciate me.

[Julian]

You're the player in the room. Can you tell us where you.

[Mal]

I'm the player. I mean, it depends on again, even date. Everything is subjective. Dating is subjective. What type of woman are you taking out? What is. What is her interest? What is she a whore?

[Damaris]

No, he like. It's a nice young lady. Oh, God.

[Julian]

Okay, well, if it's a whore, that's probably the easiest.

[Mal]

Well, find out what she likes. If she likes, you know, certain type of food, then you want to find a restaurant that caters to that specific type of food ambiance, whether it's live music. A good date is also finding out what type of music a girl likes and going to a show, jazz together. And then getting something to eat, something like that. Something chill, nothing too heavy. We could just have a good time, listen to some music. Even depending on what city you're in, you could do a lot of shit. Like go to a park, just kick it. Like, it's a lot of little things.

[Rory]

You can do after dark.

[Mal]

Not after dark. No, not after dark. But it depends on the type of person you dating. Man, I like to do. If I'm on a date, I like to do stuff where we could first hear each other. I don't want to be yelling and shit too much.

[Julian]

That's Important.

[Mal]

Yeah. So if you gotta.

[Rory]

People do that on first dates. Like, go to places where they can.

[Mal]

Well, people go to the movies on the first date, which is kind of like. I don't know, like, you know, I.

[Rory]

Was gonna suggest alphabe's 2 for 20, then bad boys 4.

[Mal]

I don't know. I don't know about movies on the first date. I always thought that was kind of weird. We're just sitting there.

[Julian]

That's a. I feel like the movies on the first date's a shy man's game because you just avoid all the small talk. You're like, we spent three hours together, but you didn't say a word to each other.

[Damaris]

I'm shy man's game.

[Mal]

And being shy is crazy in 2024.

[Damaris]

Are shy what?

[Julian]

Mad people are shy.

[Rory]

Maybe on the Texas going crazy, then.

[Mal]

Meeting shy in 2020. As a. I'm talking about as an adult. As an adult. Not.

[Rory]

People are so sick now they'll show each other's genitals before they actually meet via text and then actually link up and have nothing to say to each.

[Mal]

Other, which is crazy to me. Like, we're. We're. We're weird species. You sent nudes and then met up with a girl.

[Julian]

I don't send nudes. I received nudes and then.

[Rory]

Oh, my bad, player.

[Damaris]

Right?

[Mal]

Got up with her and didn't say nothing to her.

[Rory]

You don't send the hammer.

[Julian]

I don't, like, say nothing to it. I don't. I never got.

[Rory]

I figured the hammer pick was in your Raya account.

[Mal]

Like, scrolling through.

[Julian]

Over the body. Odopalicious instrumental it's artsy.

[Rory]

It's in black and white.

[Julian]

I mean, technically, yeah.

[Rory]

Yo, sending your dick pic in black and white.

[Damaris]

You never hate the black and white. Nude.

[Mal]

No. Nude, yes.

[Rory]

I've gotten women in black. Black and white photos because those are attractive. Sending a dick pic in black and white is the sickest thing I've ever heard.

[Mal]

Oh, remember when they had that cartoon filter? Extending it in that.

[Julian]

Sending your dick pick in a sketch.

[Rory]

Running your dick pic through a filter app.

[Damaris]

Do men still take the dick pics next to.

[Mal]

I don't know. Damaris. I don't know. I don't know.

[Damaris]

Like, they might put it next to, like. Remember the old Time Warner cable remote?

[Julian]

Or like, one of them.

[Damaris]

Yeah, yeah, like they. Yeah, like. Or like to put it to scale. Yeah, put it to scale.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

I'm sure people put it next to this. It looked pretty big.

[Rory]

Yo, imagine putting your dick next to a pen to show her what you're working with. Ew, that would be hilarious.

[Julian]

Okay, well, let me ask you guys pause in advance, since I've never, like, got into sending the dick pivot. What angle? Like, what was the. The angle or shot that you guys would use or send be like, is it from the. From the. The po. Like, overhead, like from the bottom?

[Rory]

I've done both. No, I haven't. Like, show my.

[Julian]

Not.

[Rory]

Like, I've done the selfie version and I've done the over the top version.

[Mal]

Yo, A, spread his ass.

[Rory]

You want to see this hairy ass.

[Damaris]

Because you gotta, like, lift your leg.

[Mal]

Yo, I know women, yo. I just. Not that I would want to see it, but I just. I know certain women just like. Like, they dms, bro. Like, I know it's some sick shit going on in women's dm. Cause there's niggas out here that don't care at all.

[Julian]

I was talking to a girl, a friend of mine over the weekend about that. Literally talking about how she was like, you know, your DMs seem to be so negative. It's always like, people call me gay, whatever. For the show. It's fine. I'm used to it. It's like my good. It's like a daily blessing at this point. Affirmations. And she said, yeah, like, that's bad. But like, you should really see what people say to me. And she's like, not in the scene at all. Like, not, not. It's just a pretty girl. That's it.

[Mal]

That's all it takes.

[Julian]

That's all it takes. And her DMS are just.

[Mal]

Pretty girl in the Internet.

[Rory]

Come here.

[Julian]

Insane. She was just like, just a New York City working woman.

[Mal]

It's crazy out here, man.

[Julian]

So, yeah.

[Mal]

But to this gentleman, I don't know, Subjective. Find out the type of things your girl likes and then try to cater around that. I think it's pretty simple. Once you talk to somebody and get to know their likes and the things that they're into.

[Rory]

Also show her who you are. If you're into mini golf, take her to mini golf.

[Mal]

Take it a mini golf.

[Rory]

You've never done the mini golf date, of course.

[Mal]

Absolutely.

[Julian]

Something I've done in the past, which I don't recommend is. Well, it's a double entendre. Blowing your load on a really nice first, like, over the top first date. So then when you go back for like the second date or third date, you don't. What's the follow up? I took her to like, the Grail off Rip off. So now what I can't outdo, you know, I mean, don't lead with like, the homer.

[Mal]

Oh, you said blowing your look. I thought you meant, like, just coming to date.

[Rory]

Oh, I thought you mentioned you came too quick after a good date.

[Mal]

No, you mean, like, don't show her. Like, don't.

[Julian]

Yeah, don't. Don't put the ace on the table.

[Mal]

No, no, no.

[Rory]

That comes with experience, though. Yeah, like, men will learn that as they get older. That though you send her flowers for the first three weeks every other day, you can't maintain that something that's gonna.

[Julian]

Look too, because I'm in the scene. Change the scenery.

[Rory]

I'm in the scene.

[Julian]

Changing the scenery is very important because.

[Rory]

It feels like you take it to Michael Rubin's. Let me mando's the door.

[Julian]

Get my manipulation bag real quick.

[Rory]

All right, so you're wearing purple, so I already know. And the collars. The collars up. You just look like you manipulate women.

[Damaris]

It's like a ladder. Like, it's a gay purple.

[Julian]

It's not gay. It's like lilac. It's very soft. All right, that's. Never mind.

[Rory]

You look. You look like you tell women you're single because you haven't found someone to match.

[Mal]

What?

[Damaris]

You're freak.

[Julian]

That's crazy.

[Damaris]

Sorry, it was right there.

[Julian]

Damn, you learning.

[Rory]

You look like you say, I haven't found my equal yet.

[Julian]

Are we done?

[Damaris]

His spiritual equal.

[Mal]

Yo, I could keep going, but I'm not.

[Julian]

No, go ahead.

[Mal]

No, no, no. Cuz I with Julie. But no, when Rory do like that, my mind just starts with me.

[Damaris]

You.

[Mal]

You on me more than anyone else.

[Rory]

You don't with him. I do.

[Mal]

That's clear as day. That's my guy. That's my guy.

[Julian]

Clip is me saying something and you calling me gay.

[Mal]

No, I just give you. That's what I'm supposed to do. When you my guy, I got to do that. You know me. But Rory started and I'm just looking at the fit. Like, yo, a with slacks in a football jersey definitely hits women.

[Damaris]

And the collar of.

[Julian]

Can't say that.

[Mal]

Just saying.

[Rory]

When Manchester United loses, he throws a.

[Mal]

Gasket, he go home and start wild.

[Rory]

Oh, man, he's broken a toaster oven before.

[Mal]

No, no, Julian don't hit girls.

[Julian]

No, no, I don't hit guys.

[Damaris]

Why is the collar on your jersey up? It's just.

[Julian]

It's a small collar. It doesn't really lay.

[Mal]

Yo, that is.

[Julian]

Look at that. Even want to see? It just popped up. I Don't know what to do. Point is, you take a girl to multiple places throughout a night. That's the point I'm trying to make.

[Rory]

So you're New York City.

[Julian]

You start. Yes. You start with drinks, like a happy hour drink. Six, seven, whatever.

[Mal]

Yeah. If you live in a small city, it's not. We can't do that. But so much.

[Julian]

Well, I'm recommending to city people.

[Mal]

Metropolitan areas walk.

[Julian]

You walk to the next destination. On that walk, you know, you're already got a little buzz in you, kind of. And you kind of like, wing it. Like, there's no real plan. Like, oh, we should get food here. You plan the whole thing.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Dahmer's memoir, got a little buzz in you. Walk her down the street.

[Julian]

Knife in your back.

[Mal]

Walking down the street next to the white van.

[Julian]

Oh, that guy needs us to change his tire.

[Damaris]

Let's go over there.

[Rory]

Yeah, I know the Son of Sam.

[Mal]

Yeah, I've seen that movie, bro.

[Rory]

I know.

[Mal]

Where you going with this?

[Julian]

Yeah, anyway, just that's my thing. I like, like the element of spontaneity throughout a date. I think that's fun.

[Mal]

While New York City is expensive to live in, New York City is a great date city, though.

[Rory]

Oh, it's the best.

[Julian]

Incredible.

[Mal]

So much things you can do in New York.

[Rory]

There's not a bar date city.

[Mal]

Yeah, you could find yourself paying a lot. But New York is a really, really great date city, though.

[Damaris]

That's why when we were having that 200, 400 date conversation, and y'all looking at me like I'm insane. I'm like, in New York City, it's so easy to do that, especially if you're moving from spot to spot. Like, it's easy to spend 200 for two people on a date.

[Rory]

I mean, theoretically, the picnic date. And spend $20 just. Just getting turkey sandwiches and a blanket.

[Julian]

And a dead ass for those that don't live in New York. So I know we talk so local specific. If you go like my strategy with the cocktail lounge before dinner situation, say you do two rounds there, at minimum, $20 cocktails. So you're looking at. With tip, whatever. That's a hundred off rip just for like the beginning of the date, just the buzz. And then, you know, obviously next spot, more drinks.

[Mal]

And then she worked up an appetite, so she got to get the porterhouse.

[Julian]

That's first date porterhouse is crazy.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah.

[Damaris]

I don't order.

[Mal]

She got to get the porterhouse.

[Rory]

You know that in the charm, the toilet paper. Now that the double Knit one.

[Mal]

Yes.

[Rory]

Through the roof.

[Julian]

That's just like Kevlar.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Julian]

Can't penetrate that.

[Damaris]

I never understood that.

[Rory]

Like, after the portal, she's gonna have to. And you need the Charmin.

[Damaris]

Ask a girl to go, like, just for drinks for the first date, like, just take me to dinner. I'm never going anywhere and drinking without food. Yo, a date by myself. I'm never going somewhere and drinking without food.

[Rory]

Yesterday I was sitting with Kia, Beatrice, and Britt, and I was like, yo, y'all want a drink? Got up, got them their drinks myself. Went to $117. I was like, why did I offer you? Bitches need to get your own drinks.

[Mal]

Especially when y'all paying $1200 to hug Chris Brown. Bitches is always broke till it come time to hug Chris Brown. Y'all ain't never noticed that.

[Rory]

This is the one time that I believe that bullshit meme of the money's already printed. You just have to go and get it. If people are paying $1,200 to hug Chris Brown, the money's out there, yo.

[Mal]

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

[Rory]

There's not a lack of money out there.

[Mal]

Women be like, yo, I don't need a man. I could do bad. By my. You just paid $1,200 to hug Chris Brown. And now you on my line talking about you need something. Cause you can't pay your car note.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I couldn't pay my car note. Cause I paid $1,200 to hug Chris Brown. Why you acting like that's hard maths?

[Mal]

You paid $1,200 to hug Chris Brown. You knew that car note was due every first of the month.

[Damaris]

I thought Chris Brown was gonna give me the $1,200. It was an investment. It didn't offer a return. So now I need your help.

[Mal]

You thought Chris Brown was Gonna give you 1002?

[Rory]

They probably thought in their head that they were going to have, like, some Cinderella moment.

[Julian]

So many retweets.

[Rory]

And, like, No, I think. I think a lot of those women think, like, yeah, Chris is going to.

[Damaris]

See them, and he's going to grab their ass. And different from any ass he ever grabbed in. Yeah, it was an investment.

[Rory]

There's going to be some chemistry there because they built it up in their head. I really think that's what those women think.

[Damaris]

I had a homegirl who cried because Chris Brown didn't pick her out the crowd at the concert. She came home and called me on the phone and cried because she just Thought for some reason that she would just be the one to get picked out the crowd.

[Rory]

Did you tell her when you got home that you cried over Gunna?

[Damaris]

Fuck you laughing at Peach?

[Mal]

Did you also give her the number to better help?

[Julian]

You went cry for cry.

[Mal]

Crying cause Chris Brown didn't pick me. Mental health is. We don't address it in the black.

[Rory]

Community enough, but fans do fan shit. Drake bought a Pusha T microphone off ebay that clearly Pusha T did not sign. I'm sorry, like fans do fan.

[Mal]

Yeah, but there's this line between being a fan and then having mental health issues.

[Rory]

I think buying as a. He was a kid, so I get it. I bought stupid off ebay. But yeah, buying a microphone that clearly Pusha T didn't sign off ebay is. Could be considered.

[Mal]

Why do you say clearly he didn't sign?

[Rory]

I just don't think that person had assigned Mike from Pusha T. I think he probably just signed him it.

[Damaris]

I kept one of Beyonce's towels that had her makeup on it for a long time.

[Rory]

What you do with it?

[Damaris]

I kept it in my drawer next to my Steelers terrible towel.

[Julian]

Yo.

[Rory]

What are you a Steelers fan?

[Damaris]

I used to be.

[Rory]

With everything about you. Until today, before the boycott, I was.

[Damaris]

A heavy Steelers fan.

[Julian]

Don't you love Tomlin? Isn't that your guy?

[Rory]

I with Tomlin, shout out to the noobs.

[Damaris]

Troy Palma is my favorite football player of all time.

[Mal]

So, yeah, he was my favorite of all time.

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Julian]

Great hair.

[Rory]

Probably one of the greatest safeties.

[Julian]

He was so fun to watch.

[Damaris]

He was amazing. He was exactly. He was super fun.

[Julian]

He was very fun. What about Roethlisberger, the rapeless burger?

[Rory]

Big, big fan of that guy.

[Damaris]

Yeah, you know, he did his thing. You know, he got us where we need to be. I don't really support what he does off the field.

[Julian]

He certainly.

[Rory]

Through my whole childhood, I always wondered, I was like, why is Snoop Dogg such a Steelers fan? And then I got older. I was like, oh, it's a gang thing. Never understood why he was the biggest Steelers fan ever. And then I got older. I was like, oh, that's a Crip. Ah, gotcha.

Okay. Never knew that.

And went back to the hotel and literally we were all watching the same. Welcome to the Light.

[Rory]

Bunch of losers.

Look at us, man. Look at us.

[Rory]

No, we're doing it. And didn't we at the bar, there was like three or four amazing women.

[Mal]

Oh, no, it was some people. Some cool people there.

[Julian]

There was that one lesbian couple.

[Rory]

That's.

That's very cute.

[Mal]

They were cool couple. They were cool.

[Julian]

I think I still follow them on Instagram.

[Mal]

Yeah, they was cool.

[Rory]

Wait, they had their own. That's such a lesbian thing?

[Julian]

No, they have a joint Instagram. Separate accounts.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Julian]

Yeah, I meant individually. That was really.

[Rory]

That's such a lesbian thing, though, to have, like, their account.

[Julian]

Would you do that to Maris?

[Rory]

Would that be some headache?

[Damaris]

No, because then they gotta have my password.

[Julian]

No, you'd have your own private one.

[Mal]

You have your own account. You have an account together. Other. Wait, y'all just pictures of, like, y'all.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Julian]

I would do it.

[Damaris]

I would do it for the money.

[Rory]

Is that weird that we have a joint account?

[Mal]

Very.

[Rory]

We just try to throw new in front of it.

[Julian]

Have you ever logged into that account on Instagram?

[Mal]

Yeah, I think I logged in once and I never logged in after that.

[Julian]

You're not missing out.

[Mal]

Yeah, I'm not big on social media no more, man.

[Rory]

I check the DMs every now and then, just see what nasty shit Julian's doing.

[Julian]

I literally don't talk to anyone. I only answer merch problems and like, ticketing, touring questions, customer service. Yeah, I'm not like, show me your titties, I'll give you a ticket. Although if you want to show me your titties, I will give you a ticket.

[Damaris]

I'm not giving you a ticket. I'm not giving you no ticket off tickets. I need whole pussy hole.

[Mal]

That being said, anybody wants to show titties, show titties tickets.

[Damaris]

Expensive.

[Rory]

All right, Pete, I just had another nasty quote in my head, and I think you know which one I'm talking about.

[Mal]

Quote.

[Rory]

It's cool. Oh, we'll move on. What peach was there?

[Mal]

Yeah. If you're in the Texas.

[Julian]

Yeah, that is a dike.

[Mal]

If you're in the state of Texas and affected by this hurricane, please be safe.

[Rory]

Jamaica. I. I wanted to feel bad for y'all, and then I saw y'all was twerking in the hurricane.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I was like, never mind. Y'all fine.

[Mal]

Yeah, rain and heavy winds. That's all it was. But. But seriously, be safe if you are in the path of this hurricane.

[Rory]

We're gonna catch some of this this weekend.

[Rory]

I'm probably just gonna go straight.
