[Rory]

We did it.

[Mal]

I know. They wanted to know what we was going to say if we didn't make the list.

[Julian]

All right, Jason.

[Mal]

I guess we'll never find out.

[Julian]

Let's go through this here. Last year's ranking. Obviously, we know we didn't make it known for lively hip hop debates in conversations Mall. Do you want to read the little blurb here that our friend Jordan wrote on our.

[Mal]

Our behalf?

[Damaris]

We love Jordan, huh?

[Julian]

Well, he's a good friend of mine.

[Rory]

Yeah, we.

[Mal]

All right.

[Julian]

I apologize later.

[Rory]

All right, Publicly now. Apologize. I apologize in private. Showing us the text messages, like looking for us to be on your side and Me and Demer is like, nah, man, you're an.

[Damaris]

I was like, you're a jerk, B. Stop being mean to Jordan.

[Julian]

You guys said that. I was like, maybe I went a little too far.

[Mal]

Well, Jordan, thank you for the words. Jordan says Rory and all earned their spot on this year's list, thanks in large part to their in depth coverage of the Drake and Kendrick feud. See, I told y'all every Drake.

[Rory]

Drake got Kendrick at number one and got us at number 13.

[Mal]

Exactly. Every music podcaster and streamer was looking for an angle to tap into the rap war. The rap war content goldmine and Rory Amore, along with fellow co host Demarison JR Shout out Jordan, bro, use their inside OVO info. All right, now you're calling me a rat.

[Rory]

That's what they called Elliot Wilson.

[Mal]

What would happen rather. What would happen next rather than just report on what was happening happening at the moment?

[Damaris]

Don't read the next sentence.

[Mal]

Never read that before it came out. And they became reliable sources for new information while still delivering insightful commentary throughout the battle. Although he got roasted for it online. Even Mall's bias towards Yo, Jordan. What's up? Damn, Jordan, what's up with you?

[Rory]

This sounds like an accurate journalist to me.

[Mal]

Crazy.

[Julian]

Yo, he's telling the truth.

[Mal]

Oh, damn. Even more's bias towards Drake and OVO added a layer of light hearted color color to the content they were putting out. And now that the beef has cooled, they're riding momentum into their regular commentary.

[Julian]

With live links to the show. This, I'm assuming, would go to our YouTube channel. That's amazing. Thank you, Complex.

[Mal]

Okay, well, we're back on now. I take back all the bad things I said about Complex. You're the greatest.

[Rory]

Did I say I was blackballed?

[Mal]

Yeah, I think you said that. Are you kidding me?

[Julian]

You love black balls.

[Damaris]

I think Complex still hates you guys, but they couldn't not cover you for that. What we did during the beef, they.

[Julian]

Go from 0 to 13 is fucking awesome. That's a big jump.

[Rory]

Yeah, see what happens when you complain like I did? It's like, why don't you shut the fuck up about Complex? Because I'm trying to get on the list.

[Damaris]

Yeah, damn.

[Mal]

Well, thank you, Jordan, for those next year top 10.

[Damaris]

I like.

[Rory]

I like the artwork they did too. Peach, is that you, Peach?

[Mal]

You worked on us and didn't tell us? You motorboating son of a. Yo, what?

[Rory]

Yo, who knows what Peaches does in his off time.

[Mal]

Yeah, like Peaches. This looks like a Peaches thing, but I See the orange and green? They kept it on brand saying, I see what they did.

[Julian]

Yeah, well, this is why I. I made that loud noise when you guys were talking.

[Damaris]

Yeah, that was a little gay.

[Julian]

I was excited.

[Damaris]

He was like, oh, my God, guys.

[Julian]

I didn't say that.

[Damaris]

That's exactly what I said.

[Rory]

Lower than little Yachty. What the Complex? This is the stupidest list I've ever seen. Yo, they're sitting in his bedroom. We come to work every day. Yachty's laying in his master bedroom doing his podcast.

[Damaris]

I would like to see the rest of the list. So Yachty is.

[Mal]

Shout out Yachty.

[Rory]

No, they do have a great show.

[Julian]

Nori's at 11.

[Rory]

No love for EFN. That's fucked up.

[Julian]

Last year, they 5. That's a. That's a significant.

[Mal]

Yeah, but where's EFN at? Damn Nardwar legend.

[Rory]

Love it.

[Damaris]

Gillian Wallow. Shout out to them. I was watching them this morning, actually.

[Rory]

My arch nemesis.

[Julian]

Damn any. And they gave him our same color scheme.

[Rory]

I mean, me and him look the same.

[Damaris]

Damn.

[Rory]

Can't even throw Rosenberg and Laurel on there.

[Julian]

Yeah, they did justice and Wild.

[Rory]

Listen, man, you guys are gonna be.

[Julian]

Mad if you're listening.

[Rory]

Vlad should be one or two, I believe you said. I know that's blasphemous to say, but if we're going off numbers and everything that's going on with hip hop media, Vlad is one or two.

[Damaris]

Yeah, yeah, unfortunately.

[Rory]

And I think Vlad's been getting more responsible with his content. Yeah, Vlad is. I felt like made a look at this way.

[Julian]

This was the funny look at the memorable moment blurb about him potentially helping the police solve Tupac's murder.

[Rory]

That sounds like a concerned citizen to me.

[Mal]

Complex don't do that to black. What's up with y'all, man? Don't do that.

[Julian]

That's funny. Next.

[Mal]

Elliot. Okay, Elliot. I like it, but no B dot.

[Rory]

No B dot.

[Mal]

Jesus Christ.

[Rory]

He needs to make another list.

[Julian]

Charlemagne.

[Rory]

It's gonna sound like hate if I give my opinion, but keep going.

[Julian]

Charlie made it number four. Number three. Wow. Three is low for him.

[Rory]

And I mean, we know.

[Mal]

We know.

[Rory]

1 and 2. The. The alumni of Complex.

[Julian]

Yeah, I think he's got two this year. All right, nice.

[Mal]

I mean, yo, Jordan, thank you for the words.

[Damaris]

Yeah, thank you, Jordan.

[Mal]

We love you, Jordan. Shout out to Complex. Another year.

[Rory]

Listen, man, with the whole Drake and Kendrick shoot, I can see why AK is number one. Yeah, makes sense.

[Damaris]

If that's the case, then we. If that's the case. If we're going off the Drake and Kendrick, then we should have been in the top five. Me?

[Rory]

Well, I don't think it's the 20, 24 power players of Drake, Kendrick.

[Damaris]

Why? Why? Why ain't it?

[Rory]

I don't know, man. I feel like Meek should be up there because he said he was going to start 17 podcasts with this. This calendar year. What you looking at?

[Mal]

I didn't say anything to you, Rory.

[Rory]

And he was going to drop 25 albums.

[Mal]

I know. Well, I mean, maybe he got busy. I don't know.

[Rory]

It's still six more months left.

[Mal]

Yeah, he still got time.

[Rory]

Well, he's putting bounties out for the Dollar Tree ejaculator. At least he's cleaning up the community.

[Mal]

I did see that. I thought that that was putting up.

[Rory]

2K for some nut.

[Mal]

No pull up because it was the. It was the word. Rory with Meek said let's. Let's play Manhunt.

[Damaris]

Stop.

[Rory]

I'm never playing manhunt with someone that nuts on civilians.

[Mal]

Y'all don't know how hard I laughed at that when I read that y'all ever played Manhunt.

[Damaris]

Yeah, of course.

[Mal]

Yo, that shit. When y'all read that shit from Meek, I said, yo, Meek is a nigga from the block. For real. Only a nigga that grew up in the hood would say, let's play Manhunt. Yeah, let's play Manhunt with him today in Philly. Safe. Yeah, like right now in Philly. Some community service. I got two bands for his location, but you got to connect.

[Julian]

Damn.

[Mal]

Listen, I love the fact that Meek tweeted that. I love that. Yes, I love that.

[Julian]

And if you're not aware, we did talk about this on Patreon, so we're not going to get too far into it. It's on our upcoming Patreon episode. But, yeah, this is Meek's response to that guy that nutted on a chick in Dollar Tree. Yeah.

[Mal]

I was just mad at sound, though, right? Was he?

[Julian]

Nah. Two bands.

[Rory]

Oh, we gotta up the up the bounty on that. We can't just have someone running around nutting on people in Dollar Tree.

[Mal]

Listen, Meek, we. Me and Rory match your two bands. There's four bands right now. If we could find this dude by the time y'all are hearing this.

[Rory]

But you don't have to bring him to us. Like, bring him to the authorities.

[Mal]

No, bring him to Meek. Bring him to the Chasers. Bring him to the dream chasers.

[Rory]

O'Melly can handle it.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yo, Meek, we matching your 2K, me and Rory putting up 2,000, $4,000 for anybody that could find this dude. And send a video to Meek that you found him, that y'all got him, and we'll send the 2,000. Meek, you send your 2,000.

[Rory]

I'm not detaining anyone. That's just coming in public.

[Mal]

No, he should. They gotta connect. I know what that connect.

[Damaris]

No, what if he know down you, though? Like, if he. And when you. When y'all take it.

[Mal]

No, it wouldn't be no manhood. It would be homicide units outside picking up this. The coroners is outside picking up this.

[Rory]

What do you think I would do if someone nutted on me?

[Damaris]

I don't know. Rory, what do you think?

[Rory]

I wild question?

[Damaris]

No, because that's what I'm saying. Like, don't bring him to us. Like, I don't want nothing.

[Mal]

You think that somebody's gonna bring somebody in Philly to New York for $2,000?

[Rory]

You know how much toes are right now?

[Damaris]

Maybe they fans in the pod. It's like a meet and greet.

[Mal]

And bring him to the chase. Bring him. Bring him to. To Meek. And the right there said that.

[Julian]

Damn it.

[Rory]

Also, imagine walking around Philly like, is that.

[Mal]

[Rory]

Yo, let's go. Crap.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, let's go get. But what if you like, yo, that's not me. Because that's another. We didn't see his face.

[Julian]

Well, they found his Facebook page.

[Mal]

Oh, what?

[Julian]

So they're. I think they're like, in the process, because it's up.

[Rory]

I don't think women should be able to just walk around and not be nut alone. I'm. I'm sorry for laughing, but he's on Facebook.

[Mal]

Oh, they got him. Then they see. Oh, they know who this is. Oh, yes. It's only a matter someone poke him. Yeah, it's only a matter.

[Julian]

Rory, is that still a thing on Facebook?

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

How does someone find that? Facebook?

[Mal]

Yeah, that's still poke on Facebook.

[Damaris]

I don't know.

[Rory]

I don't have one.

[Julian]

No, that's why you got a nut in real life.

[Damaris]

You have a Facebook, you just don't use it.

[Rory]

I do.

[Damaris]

I use it. The DM girls on Facebook, like, aunties catfished them. You know there are normal people on Facebook, though, right?

[Julian]

No, I don't think.

[Rory]

No, there's not.

[Damaris]

There's no way I'm on Facebook. I'm normal.

[Rory]

My mom and Republicans.

[Mal]

That's it.

[Julian]

There's no1under40 on Facebook.

[Rory]

No, I don't even think Mark Zuckerberg is on Facebook.

[Julian]

I don't think he knows how to use it.

[Damaris]

All the girls from the neighborhood are on Facebook. The neighborhood girls are on Facebook.

[Mal]

Doing what, though? Like, what do y'all do on Facebook?

[Damaris]

Post the same you do on Instagram and Twitter, but on Facebook.

[Julian]

Yeah, but don't you need, like, a laptop to post on Facebook?

[Mal]

Posting on Facebook is like sitting down to eat at McDonald's.

[Rory]

That is some serial killer behavior. Sitting down and eating at McDonald's is serial killer McDonald's. Sitting at a table at McDonald's is.

[Mal]

Like, if you over. If you over the age of eight, say, 17, 18, you should not be sitting down eating at McDonald's, bro.

[Rory]

It's never really crossed my mind that people do that. That's sick.

[Mal]

You walk into McDonald's and you don't even notice the people sitting down, eating.

[Rory]

No tunnel vision.

[Damaris]

Burger King has a lot of people that sit down and eat, too.

[Mal]

Sitting down and eating at McDonald's or Burger King is so.

[Rory]

I don't even do that when I'm on the road. Like, I'll just drive and eat. I'm not sitting down.

[Damaris]

Well, some people don't like. Some people have kids. They don't want, like, food in their car.

[Mal]

Well, if you have. If you would. That. That negates everything I'm saying. I'm talking about if. Damaris. If I walk past the McDonald's and see you in there sitting down eating.

[Rory]

You better be on fire.

[Damaris]

If they support Israel, I don't eat McDonald's. But I get what you're saying.

[Mal]

I'm just saying I would have some questions for you. Like, why are you. You couldn't just take that shit and.

[Damaris]

Go, yeah, you should probably fire me to the park.

[Rory]

You don't support McDonald's because they support Israel.

[Damaris]

Rory, don't support. Should we get rid of argument?

[Rory]

What do you think BH supports?

[Damaris]

Nigga, you spending your money on these cameras, not me.

[Rory]

That microphone is pro Israel.

[Damaris]

You bought it.

[Mal]

Stop talking to it. Stop talking to that mic. That's an Israeli mic you're talking to.

[Rory]

Have you been in B and H? Every employee that's.

[Damaris]

And when I go on B and H, everybody black. I don't know what you talking about.

[Rory]

That is a Jewish owned company and everyone is Jewish.

[Damaris]

Oh, every. Every time I go on B and H, every person working in there is black.

[Mal]

Really? B, H or H M. Yeah, I.

[Rory]

Think you might have confused B and.

[Mal]

H. Okay, I'm sorry, bp.

[Damaris]

Hi. How are you today?

[Mal]

I'm great. How are you?

[Julian]

Anything else you guys want to talk about happened in last day or so.

[Mal]

That happened in the last day?

[Rory]

Like a podcast episode?

[Julian]

No, I mean, like, I got my bloods panel back for my first physical in five years. That was cool.

[Mal]

How did it go?

[Julian]

Everything's clean.

[Damaris]

Did you burn me?

[Julian]

Yo, you would have felt it by now. I know you would have felt it by now.

[Mal]

It's crazy.

[Rory]

Were you worried at all?

[Julian]

Yeah, I mean, legit. That was my first physical in five years. I wasn't worried on, like, the std, like, screening.

[Mal]

He told me he's worried about his ass, his blood alcohol level.

[Rory]

He was drunk.

[Julian]

I asked the doctor. I said, hey. I'm like, I. I sat down, first time meeting him, and he's like, are you all right, man? I was like, no. I'm, like, very hungover. He goes, no, I can tell. He's like, do you want to go through with this? And I asked him, I said, is there going to be, like, you know, because I'm hungover. Will there. Will it up the results for my blood lab? And he said, no. Like, eight hours past drinking, even though you feel like the test will be the same, which is interesting.

[Damaris]

Did they check your prostate? You're getting to that age?

[Julian]

No, I got some. I got a lot of time on that. When's that? You haven't had that done yet.

[Rory]

Multiple times.

[Julian]

Oh, well, for fun, I guess.

[Rory]

Yeah, it's kind of my thing. I wouldn't kink shame if I were you.

[Julian]

I have not had that done yet.

[Damaris]

Well, you should set that up, because you are. You are getting to. Yeah, yeah.

[Mal]

I'm setting up my. My colonoscopy.

[Rory]

Oh, we should go. We should go as like, a family.

[Julian]

Oh, we can shoot it, Patreon.

[Rory]

Everything's content. Yes. We're going with you.

[Mal]

Yeah. I can't yell Patreon when I say I'm going to get my first cold.

[Rory]

We're actually gonna.

[Mal]

How you will see your Patreon.

[Rory]

We're gonna strap a GoPro on you.

[Julian]

Because if we're gonna crack complex the top 10 next year, we gotta.

[Mal]

We gotta show me getting a rod.

[Rory]

We gotta get the top 10. Yeah.

[Mal]

Y'all want to put, like. Hey, Peach, maybe we could put, like, one of our cameras on their cameras that they put up in my rectum.

[Julian]

Camera in your.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, we could do a collab post, maybe a massive.

[Damaris]

Well, they call these black magic.

[Mal]

So we could do. Yeah. We do a collab post piece, get a little mic put on the same. Right next to them. The camera that goes up.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

In my rectum. And make sure everything's cool.

[Rory]

Bringing awareness. It's actually.

[Mal]

I'm excited, though.

[Rory]

I'm looking forward to platform.

[Julian]

That way they keep on.

[Rory]

You're looking forward to it?

[Mal]

Yeah, why not?

[Rory]

What about that? Are you looking forward to.

[Damaris]

He's gonna lose a lot of weight.

[Julian]

When they do that, don't they flush your system out? You have to, like, drink a bunch of.

[Mal]

I mean, I flush my system anyway. I'm not. But that's a. No, no, not a. You talking about a colonic? Colonic is.

[Julian]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

[Mal]

I'm gonna get one of those before I actually get my colonoscopy. I'm gonna get a colonic.

[Damaris]

O. Colonoscopy. Is them looking for stuff?

[Mal]

Yeah, a colonic is them just flushing you out. It's a spot that my homeboy put me onto.

[Rory]

The G spot.

[Mal]

No, not that. That's.

[Rory]

It's in your ass.

[Mal]

That's another year. That's a whole nother time. It's a spot in Brooklyn.

[Rory]

You told me that.

[Mal]

That they. You go. He said the facility is great. The woman that's doing it has been doing colonics for years. He said he did his on the low. I think, like, he had to sit there for, I think, two hours, I think. But they give. They put movies on in the room for you, and you sitting on, like, this big chair, and like, it's a machine.

[Rory]

Spongebob the movie while spinning. Yeah, you gotta relax.

[Mal]

I mean, you can't go nowhere for like, two hours. I think you just sit there and it just shoots warm water up in you and.

[Rory]

Oh, it's just like a bidet. A bidet with an iPad.

[Mal]

It's just like an oil change. You just get.

[Julian]

Wait, so this is just like, for, I guess, a comparative purpose. Like, what would be like cleaning your car out?

[Mal]

Yeah, I'm cleaning my. I just told you I'm getting oil.

[Julian]

It's detailing.

[Mal]

Yeah, but you need it, though. Everybody should get a.

[Rory]

It's like vacuuming your seats, right?

[Mal]

Same, same. It's just like detailing the car, man. Same shit. Everybody needs a baby D. You need to go get a colonic, too.

[Damaris]

I know.

[Rory]

It's a real quick.

[Mal]

You got oxtail and shit all in your rectum from 2017.

[Julian]

Still yesterday, that oxtail.

[Mal]

Oh, shit. She just added it on top yesterday.

[Damaris]

Wait, so why. I took one home for Alex Alex busted down.

[Mal]

Alex. Call Alex right now. She still can't move.

[Damaris]

No, listen. So yesterday, okay, so for the people who don't know, yesterday we had some people come in and visit. They brought us food, and they bought a beef patty that also. I call that Instagram, Mac and cheese and oxtail in it. And it was on cocoa bread with oxtail gravy. So I took a couple bites of it. It made me very full. But I wanted to take Alex one home. Cause she's from Queens and she knows that deli. But I thought they were all oxtail, you know, I took one home, we opened it up. That shit was shrimp.

[Julian]

Oh, the curry shrimp one. I would have liked that.

[Mal]

Yeah, that was for mall.

[Rory]

For vegans.

[Julian]

That's not vegan.

[Damaris]

That's a pescatarian.

[Rory]

They're not antler now.

[Damaris]

Anyway, I helped her eat it, right? Because she couldn't eat the whole thing by herself.

[Mal]

Of course you got to help out, right? And that's not what you told me when you left here. But I ain't gonna tell the people what you told me when you left here. But it's all right.

[Rory]

What I told you can tell me.

[Mal]

What else I said, Baby D. I said. She said, nah, that's it. I'm not eating nothing else tonight. That's it. I'm a walk. Go home.

[Damaris]

I did walk.

[Mal]

And he walked right into another sandwich.

[Damaris]

I felt so bad after. I. Cause I only took a couple bites of the first one. So then Alexx had half and I ate her other half. And then I went on a very long walk. And I did not eat for the rest. So all I had, technically, was a whole sandwich yesterday. That's all I had for to eat that shit was like 3,000 calories. But, you know, it's all right, though. Cheat day.

[Mal]

Right to the legs, to them thighs. Yeah, it's all good. You gonna be on somebody rooftop this weekend? On trip.

[Rory]

Just remembered that Damaris told us she was having a cheat day on a Wednesday. At noon?

[Julian]

Yeah, at noon.

[Mal]

That's not how it goes, Damaris. You don't cheat in the middle of the week.

[Damaris]

Yes, I can.

[Mal]

No, you cannot. Definitely.

[Damaris]

I eat salads all weekend. I eat salads and chicken breasts all weekend. Like I usually eat chicken. So before we started coming in on Wednesday, before we started coming in on Wednesdays, Wednesday was always my cheat day. Because me and Alex would eat chick fil a on Wednesdays.

[Mal]

Chick fil A Wednesdays.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Damaris]

So now they don't support gigs, huh?

[Rory]

They don't support gays.

[Mal]

I thought they did support gays.

[Damaris]

No, they don't.

[Julian]

No.

[Rory]

That's why they're closed on Sunday. Because they're homophobic.

[Damaris]

Neither do y'all. I come to work every day.

[Mal]

Wait, hold up.

[Julian]

You never knew that Mole.

[Mal]

Wait, no, no, because maybe I got it wrong.

[Rory]

They're very religious, and part of being that religious is that it's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

[Mal]

So.

[Rory]

Great. Bumper.

[Mal]

So Chick Fil a is closed on Sundays because they're religious.

[Rory]

But on top of that, they've been open about that.

[Mal]

They don't work at Chick Fil A.

[Rory]

They don't with gays.

[Mal]

They're not religious. I know the people.

[Rory]

Well, she knows some non Jews that work at bh, so anything's possible.

[Mal]

I know the that's bringing the food out of Chick Fil a. They're not religious. I could probably. Why are they closed? Like, I don't. I don't know. Whatever.

[Damaris]

Well, you know.

[Julian]

Yeah. They lose a lot of money by closing on Sunday too.

[Damaris]

I know because I always.

[Julian]

An estimated 1.2 billion a year in revenue because they close on Sundays.

[Rory]

Yeah, but you know, God.

[Mal]

Yeah. Paying their ties.

[Rory]

That's odd. Like, I mean, just. You don't go into work that day. You just go to church.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Why do the rest of us can't eat Chick Fil A and Chick Fil A after Church would be great.

[Mal]

I never thought about chicken biscuit. Yeah, yeah, that would be fire.

[Rory]

Because you know, all the food that they have in the basement of the church is trash all the time.

[Mal]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Rory]

Church breakfast sucks.

[Mal]

No, you got some churches twisted you. So what kind of church you went to?

[Rory]

Well, I. Irish Catholic growing up. And then I went to non denomination.

[Julian]

I went to potatoes.

[Rory]

When I was trying to find myself, I went to other churches, but I grew up Irish like. And I mean, come on, We. We don't have good food to begin with. You think our church is going to have it?

[Mal]

You ever been to a church in the South?

[Rory]

No.

[Mal]

There you go.

[Rory]

But I did go to church in Newark, so.

[Mal]

Nah, nah, I'm just go south. Go south. Go. Catfish, baked Mac and cheese, yams.

[Rory]

They have. They're serving that at church. Yeah, I already had. I already had trouble not staying awake in church. You giving me that? I'm knocked. I'm at church. Okay.

[Mal]

Yeah, After. After the service is over.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's at the churches where the. The deacon and the pastor drive like Benzes.

[Julian]

Right.

[Mal]

And got diabetes. Go.

[Rory]

And used to be Criminal.

[Mal]

Yeah, exactly.

[Rory]

And still are.

[Damaris]

When you were coming up, did you run into little Kim often?

[Mal]

And when I was coming up? Damaris, I was born in 1981. Stop making it sound like I was born in 1920.

[Damaris]

I know. I didn't. No, I didn't mean to like that. Look, I'm asking because lil Kim turns 50 today. Happy birthday to Lil Kim.

[Mal]

Happy birthday to the queen bee.

[Damaris]

To the queen. Be the queen of the queen of rap quickness.

[Mal]

50, 50.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Mal]

Wow.

[Julian]

Born in 74.

[Damaris]

That's why I was asking, like, did you run with her? Like, when? Cause y'all aren't that far apart.

[Mal]

Did I run with Lil Kim? No, I never ran with Lil Kim. Okay, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

[Rory]

I thought it was drock season. You.

[Mal]

Me? No, I wasn't. I didn't run with Lil Kim. Demaris. No, no. But little Kim turned at 50. Wow. That's. Damn. People are old, yo. But you know what? It's actually interesting seeing these figures in the culture and hip hop. Grow old.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

And get to ages. Like, 50. Like Jay is. I think Jay would be fifth. The Jay might be 54 this year.

[Julian]

Oh, he's 54 right now? Yep.

[Mal]

So he'll be 55 in December.

[Damaris]

Oh, my God.

[Rory]

And that's just his industry age. No, that's how old he really is.

[Damaris]

Rory. You always throw an industry age on somebody.

[Rory]

Because I want one.

[Mal]

But I'm saying C and J reached that, you know, I mean, because we lost Biggie at such a young age, we always talk about Rory. These guys was 24 when they died. 23, 24. Just the thought of that is crazy. So to see some of these figures that were around then get to 50 and 55, it's. It's dope to watch, man. Especially when you see where somebody like Jay Z, for example, is at right now in his life, coming from that era and where he ended up. It's just. It's just dope to see that people from our neighborhoods and our communities and our culture can grow old and reach these levels and become these people. Like, I think that it's. It's super fly to grow older and still be cool.

[Rory]

To celebrate her birthday, let's pin women against each other. Lil Kim's verse on Quiet Storm Remix or Nicki's on Monster.

[Damaris]

Oh, damn.

[Mal]

Little Kim. Quiet Storm versus Nicki's monster verse.

[Damaris]

That's tough.

[Rory]

I think that's a fair. Fair comparison.

[Mal]

Both elite versus suck just to get to the top. I put 108 around my drop she's smoking to the B with the mo BB Queensbridge, Brooklyn NBD double EP hey yeah, she went crazy Life I live hey, yo, Prodigy, tell him what it is done I ain't gonna lie the.

[Rory]

Way she closed that she went crazy she went so crazy Said in in his book that he had heard that Kim never wrote her rhymes, but watched her write this entire verse.

[Mal]

Like, now Nikki's monsterverse is.

[Damaris]

I'm a monster automobile gangster. What a bad. I mean, it was Sri Lanka.

[Rory]

Of course. Clyde Storm was a moment, but Kim was kind of already Kim at that point that Nikki was like, yeah, the introduction to the world with the biggest rappers in the world. And you watch all of them, like, that's the verse we remember is kind.

[Mal]

Of a crazy moment, I think. I think Nikki's verse performs better, but.

[Rory]

I think I feel like when that Quiet Storm beat drops like, well, because.

[Mal]

Nikki has more is more going on in her verses. A little more animated. Even the way that it's like mixed the delay on certain. Like, it performs better like if you hear it. But I think what Kim was saying.

[Damaris]

Is just like, nah, I ain't gonna let you say that to Nick. Hold on.

[Mal]

I'm a barb. Like, what are you talking about? I'm just. I love Nick, but I'm just saying I. I think Nicki's. The monsterverse performs better, but I think that, that. That Quiet Storm, I mean, I just think that is. I think it's. It's probably harder. It's harder than. Yeah, than the monsterverse. It's harder, but it was. Firestorm is a harder verse, but Monster performs better to me.

[Rory]

I mean, Prodigy and Havoc both went crazy. Nikki sounds even better because it's coming off. Jay going, monsters, ghouls, goblins, zombies with no conscious.

[Damaris]

Stop. Question. What do these things all have in common?

[Rory]

What do they all have in common, Jay?

[Mal]

That's what white people have. They have the ability to say. They were milling about and just make it sound like dog.

[Rory]

You know where hov vengers here. You're gonna sit here and tell me you like that Monster verse from Jay?

[Mal]

I do like it.

[Damaris]

I like it. I like it on the same.

[Rory]

But the way the monsters were milling about.

[Mal]

Okay, name another rapper that ever put.

[Damaris]

All I see is these fake with no fangs Trying to draw blood from my ice cold veins.

[Mal]

So you ain't even do the. You ain't even do the smell of massacre.

[Rory]

No, I knew. I know all those lyrics. I've heard that song Mad, so I don't know.

[Damaris]

We might have to.

[Rory]

It's just how Jay starts. He gets into his bad Sasquatch later into it.

[Julian]

That's like an Eminem start.

[Rory]

What is a zombie with no conscious? Are there zombies with consciousness?

[Mal]

Yes, of course. I see them all the time on 125th and Lexington. Yes.

[Rory]

They're addicts with a good heart.

[Mal]

Exactly. They won't steal your. But they might know where it's at. Like, they won't. They didn't take. Question.

[Rory]

What do all these things have in common? Everybody knows I'm a motherfucking monster.

[Mal]

Yeah. Conker Stop Stomp your. Stop. Achilles Nonsense. Nonsense. None of you niggas know where the swamp is.

[Julian]

That Achilles heel.

[Rory]

No, he's not gonna do it by.

[Julian]

Achilles heel is the Achilles heel. I always hated that.

[Damaris]

I don't get enough of it all.

[Mal]

I get these vampires and blood suckers.

[Damaris]

Nah, I felt him when he said that shit.

[Mal]

You felt him? Imagine what I felt this morning when I woke up. Yeah, I'm about to play this. I'm about to play this verse tonight. This makes so much sense.

[Rory]

You don't think Jay gets enough love?

[Mal]

Maybe he don't. How do you know how much love you get? Maybe he don't.

[Rory]

Doesn't Drake have a bar like that, too? Of like. Yeah, bro, People love you. Do they?

[Mal]

Cause I can't tell.

[Rory]

Let's go. We're getting number 12. Let's get to number 12.

[Mal]

I can't tell. Do that. We gotta stop revisiting certain bars. Like, maybe he. He premeditated. He knew we knew these didn't like him, and they don't love him, man. He knew that, man.

[Damaris]

I will say. Okay, I get. I like the way that Lil Kim rhymes better than I like the way Nicki rhymes. But Nicki has. I don't know. I don't know. I'm gonna vote. I'm gonna vote Monster.

[Julian]

I'm gonna vote for me, it's Monster.

[Damaris]

I'm gonna vote Monster.

[Mal]

It's supposed to be Monster for y'all.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

No, no, no, no, no. I know that Kim verse. Like, I grew up on that. But I would have to give it. I would have to just give it to Monster. I would. That. That. That verse was. It's a legendary verse.

[Mal]

Of course. That's why we have this. They both are.

[Damaris]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Mal]

I'm just saying. I think. I think. I think Quiet Storm is the harder verse, but I think Monster performs better. I think it performs Better, because when you hear that, come on in the spot or you see Nicki perform that verse. But then when Kim performs that verse and she get the dance going with it.

[Damaris]

God damn, hoe.

[Mal]

Here we go again, Light as a rock. Yo, listen, man, the more we sit here and take bars, I'm telling you, this conversation is going to start. It's going to switch up a little bit.

[Rory]

Yeah, the dance does add some more lore to that.

[Mal]

I'm just trying to tell you, bro.

[Rory]

One of my favorite leakers freestyles when Vince Staples does a little Kim dance. He said Shoddy did the little Kim missed him, but we hit his friend. And Vince does the dance in the freestyle. It's the funniest in the world.

[Mal]

Yeah, I don't know. I'm going with the uno competitor. I'm 10 steps ahead.

[Damaris]

I'm a leader, y'all. Some following coming in this game suck.

[Mal]

Just come on, man.

[Damaris]

100 female rat.

[Rory]

That's one of the best verses, period.

[Mal]

Yeah, man, I. I don't know, man. That's tough. Yeah, you got it. Depends on which day you ask me that. Today I'm going with Quiet Storm.

[Damaris]

Okay. Today, because that's how you feeling when you woke up this morning?

[Mal]

Yeah, it was a quiet storm.

[Damaris]

That's a quiet.

[Rory]

So speaking of quiet, same city, same venue. Kim comes out. Barclays does that. Nikki, Kim does monster. What Gets a bigger. I mean, take out the Brooklyn aspect.

[Mal]

Yeah. I'm about to say. Come on. All right.

[Rory]

We're doing at the Garden. They're both from New York. Yeah.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

It's the Garden.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Who gets a bigger reaction, Nick?

[Damaris]

It depends on the crowd.

[Julian]

Depends on the crowd.

[Damaris]

It depends on the crowd.

[Rory]

I think it's a little unfair.

[Mal]

I think it's a little more nostalgic to see Kim come out right now.

[Rory]

And that quiet Storm, like, the monster beat is fire, don't get me wrong. But Nicki is like the main. As soon as you hear them keys.

[Mal]

When that quiet storm can come up from the bottom of the state. Come on, man.

[Damaris]

Now I gotta produce it.

[Mal]

I gotta paint it for y'all, yo, you know what I'm saying? I gotta slow it down. I gotta say it again. Put the subtitles.

[Rory]

But I gotta. I gotta put a subtitle.

[Damaris]

I gotta put in the crowd. Because this is the thing. Nikki can. If you was to put Nicki do that at Nikki's concert, obviously she's gonna get an amazing reaction. If you do that shit with Kim at, like, that locks show that they had at the Versus that type of crowd. The floor would break. Like, it really depends on the age of the crowd.

[Mal]

That would have been too much for that venue for Lil Kim to come out and do that shit at the Locks. Dipset battle. That's what you talking about?

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Nah, come on. That would have been. You know what I mean?

[Rory]

It would have been random. Cause.

[Damaris]

No, I'm just talking about Quiet Storm is mob.

[Mal]

Deep Storm.

[Damaris]

Okay, gotcha.

[Rory]

Not like, oh, Quiet Storm for sure. At the Locks Ditch at Bath, Kim just comes out and does Quietstorm.

[Mal]

No, that's a verse.

[Julian]

That's what I thought you were saying, too. I was like, how does that.

[Rory]

Like Biggs verse on all about the Benjamin? Not like a tribute.

[Mal]

That audience just being on that stage with that audience, not the actual night. Like, that would have been so.

[Rory]

I wouldn't question it, though.

[Mal]

They kept in New York for real. Like, they brought Kim out. She ain't got nothing to do with none of this. Like, whatever. It. I like it.

[Rory]

Havoc at Home. Like, what the.

[Mal]

Like, what the. Is going on? Like, all right, I get it.

[Damaris]

Yo. Havoc at home is streaming.

[Rory]

Like, what the.

[Mal]

Well, Rory called me last night. He was so excited that this new Eminem album was coming out.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm gonna stay up till midnight. Do you guys want to do, like, a live stream? We can all listen together.

[Mal]

Schedule slam.

[Julian]

Get the best sleep in my life.

[Mal]

A schedule slammed.

[Rory]

We should stay here till midnight and, like, film it.

[Mal]

Nah, I'm cool. But they are announcing that the death of Slim Shady. Coupe de Grassi. That's the name of it. Julian. Coupe de Grasse. How do you say that? Coupe de Grace.

[Rory]

Where do you see that?

[Julian]

It's in the parentheses. Bullied beneath on the artwork.

[Rory]

My eyes aren't good.

[Mal]

Coup de Grace.

[Rory]

I was looking at the tweet.

[Mal]

Yeah, Coup de Grace. I thought it was Coup de Gracie.

[Julian]

It's probably how everyone in Detroit would say it, but.

[Mal]

Public service announcement. The death of Slim Shady is a conceptual album. Therefore, if you listen to songs out of order, they might not.

[Damaris]

Oh, that's how you know the album Trash.

[Rory]

Album Trash. That's the genius right there. Name another rapper that ever did me.

[Julian]

He's going to kill everybody in the first song. But then you'll hear about them in song three.

[Mal]

Hold on, man. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, cuz. This would be doing now.

[Julian]

They killed the doctors and then they kept coming back.

[Rory]

Got to get the streams up, Yo.

[Mal]

If you listen to the song out.

[Julian]

Of order, they died.

[Mal]

They might not make sense I was.

[Rory]

Going to go straight to guilty conscious two featuring Dr. Dre.

[Mal]

Here's.

[Rory]

Do you think it's like a woke version of Guilty Conscious?

[Mal]

No, I don't. I didn't think about it at all. This is the problem I have with this.

[Rory]

Like, maybe they regret all the.

[Mal]

Shut up. I'm trying to say something. Here's what. Here's what I regret. Here's what. Here's my problem.

[Rory]

Wait, but what do you think about that?

[Mal]

Here's my problem with this, too. Tweet. When has an album ever dropped? And we was like, nah, we're going straight to track 15.

[Rory]

Sometimes if there's like a crazy feature, like, if there's like a three Stacks feature or something, I might run to the big.

[Mal]

Okay, yeah. And I'm assuming he has features on this. Okay, so I get it.

[Rory]

He has hidden features.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

No, no, they announced all the.

[Julian]

All of them.

[Rory]

Yeah, he's got Royce on there. Dr. Dre.

[Damaris]

Oh, God.

[Rory]

The bonus track is Shady Boys 3.0 with west side Boogie. Like, he's given the third.

[Mal]

Third generation shout out to west side Boogie. It. He got it. He got a virtual Eminem album.

[Damaris]

I'm happy that people are starting to give Boogie the looks that he has been doing for years.

[Mal]

He's an incredible artist, one of my favorite rappers.

[Julian]

Eminem posted this teaser loop on his Instagram of a tombstone with, you know, his year, whatever, from the beginning of his career to the end.

[Mal]

Is this. Is this supposed to be his last album?

[Julian]

The death of this character, so to speak. Oh, it seems like.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Julian]

But the caption is. It feels so empty without him. Ha.

[Rory]

He's so tapped in with the culture, dude.

[Julian]

I love. Like, he's just. When I think Eminem, I think viral culture, he's so on top of the game. Well, his social media manager is probably 60.

[Rory]

I'm sure Rosenberg posted this.

[Julian]

This is awful.

[Mal]

But what if the album is fired?

[Julian]

It's not.

[Rory]

I was on the side that this might be, like, for the first time in a while, a good Eminem.

[Julian]

But just why does. Just answer this any. Anyone in this room. PG 2. Why does Hawk Tua belong in this caption?

[Rory]

Because he's spitting on the grave. Even though that's in reference to sucking.

[Julian]

To sucking dick. Yeah.

[Mal]

Yeah, he did. I mean, in the video, which is.

[Julian]

A metaphor for his career. It's a lot of sucking dick.

[Mal]

I mean, in the video on the Insta. On his Instagram, he did spit on the tombstone. So genius.

[Julian]

Maybe I'm just not smart enough I should go back to college.

[Mal]

I know.

[Damaris]

The Hawk too. Girl is like. Like she. Did we show that she made a documentary?

[Julian]

No.

[Rory]

What did they document? Only fans documentary.

[Julian]

For some reason, we've done a pretty good job of avoiding this conversation. But she's like. I think she's signed to a major talent agency. She's making a living off of imaginarily sucking.

[Mal]

She's making a living off of people being mentally ill.

[Rory]

Does she have anything else to contribute besides suggesting something that plenty of women do?

[Damaris]

Often women been spitting on.

[Mal]

Spitting on centuries.

[Rory]

Yeah, it was a funny video. I'm not here to hate on her five minutes of fame, but, like, what are people. What's this intriguing.

[Damaris]

We need to do.

[Rory]

Is she more interesting than I know?

[Damaris]

We need to stop taking people's five minutes of fame and turning it into five months. I'm tired of that. We need to stop doing that.

[Mal]

Oh, that's. That ain't gonna she.

[Julian]

Dude, she signed with uta.

[Mal]

Oh, my God.

[Damaris]

Damn label mate.

[Julian]

Like, five minutes. You're about to. We're in it, y'all.

[Damaris]

Neighbor.

[Julian]

Label mate.

[Rory]

Yo, Rich around the office.

[Mal]

Rich. I gotta call you tonight. I gotta call Rich tonight.

[Rory]

They signed Bronnie and her the same day I heard.

[Mal]

Oh, my God.

[Julian]

You should have her on the pod.

[Mal]

What is her real name? Let me just stop saying I believe it's Haley.

[Julian]

I don't know her last name, but it's Haley.

[Mal]

Haley. That's why Eminem named it. That's the ha. His daughter's name is Hal.

[Rory]

I told you it was on.

[Mal]

Oh, maybe. This might be crazy.

[Damaris]

Stop.

[Julian]

Sorry.

[Rory]

I found the features, though, because I know you guys are, you know, really interested.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, go ahead. It's Royce, Dr. Dre, west side Boogie.

[Rory]

White Gold, Royce, Jid and Denzel Curry. Juice World, Dr. Drake. Kendrick Lamar is on there.

[Mal]

Wait, White Gold Zone album. I like White Gold.

[Julian]

Kendrick's on it.

[Rory]

If this is an accurate trackless, which I think it is. Kendrick, Skyler Gray. I mean, you know, we have to get an Eminem and Skyler Gray record every year.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Anderson Pack, Big Sean and Baby Sean, which we heard. And then the bonus tracks have Billie Eilish, west side Boogie Grip and Easy Mill.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Damaris]

I really like it.

[Mal]

You gotta hear it.

[Rory]

Are you guys gonna be honest, like on Monday, if you actually like the album?

[Julian]

I'm gonna be honest. I'm not gonna listen to it, so I won't have an honest opinion. I'm not wasting an hour of my time listening to this.

[Rory]

Is he your eskimo? Brother or something.

[Julian]

Like, are you really gonna lock in with an Eminem album?

[Mal]

I mean, I'm definitely gonna listen to it. It's Eminem. I mean, even if I'm. Even if it's terrible, I gotta listen to it. And at least. And on it.

[Julian]

If it's terrible, you're not.

[Damaris]

It's kind of our job to listen to new hip hop.

[Mal]

I'm gonna listen to it.

[Julian]

We listen. We don't listen to so many music that. So many albums that come out well.

[Damaris]

They'Re not from the top five.

[Julian]

We don't listen to Meg. We haven't listened to. You the only one here listen to the Meg album.

[Damaris]

Rory, listen to it, too.

[Rory]

Yeah, probably won't revisit it.

[Damaris]

But you didn't have to say that, though. You see what I'm saying?

[Rory]

It just wasn't for me.

[Damaris]

Okay, but you didn't have to say that. You just.

[Rory]

That's not what I'm. I'm not in the crib just bumping that.

[Mal]

Yeah, I feel you. Me neither.

[Rory]

Thanks, sir.

[Mal]

I'm just not. I'm not playing Meg like I like Meg. I want her to sell a. A billion streams and all of that, but I just. I'm not playing it. It's not. It's just. Where am I playing that at? If you came to my house, Baby D, and you walking down the hall and going and walking in my crib and Meg is playing, I'm gonna think you get bitches.

[Julian]

I wouldn't.

[Damaris]

I'm gonna think you get.

[Rory]

Dude, listen to Meg by himself is not the guy that strikes me. He knew I was coming.

[Mal]

I'm gonna put Meg on. Cause you coming over. You know how crazy that is going on.

[Rory]

Meg with a girl like, put on some R B, bro.

[Mal]

Yo, nah, Baby D about to pull up. Yo, put that. Put. Put Meg on. What's it called? Hiss. Put. Put. Put that Hiss on from Baby D. I'm not doing that.

[Julian]

Sounds like the guy.

[Rory]

This is depressed when she's walking in.

[Damaris]

Yeah, well, that's Cobra, but yeah.

[Julian]

Yes.

[Rory]

I'm not playing Cobra's Hiss. I can't keep up.

[Mal]

But y'all know I love Meg. I. With Meg, though.

[Rory]

But it's the same thing. Like, I don't expect my girl to be in the crib listening to. It was written, right? It's not that she thinks Nas is trash. It's just not for her.

[Mal]

Meg look good, man.

[Julian]

She.

[Rory]

Steve Harvey broke character.

[Julian]

Speaking of Meg, she was a guest on Family Feud, and. And they had this moment that was making.

[Damaris]

No. What was the foot moment that was going on?

[Julian]

I don't know.

[Rory]

She was in racist question.

[Damaris]

Like, what can be cur?

[Mal]

That might be curvy. Me.

[Damaris]

Oh.

[Mal]

Yes, sir. Yes, Lord. Steve. Look at.

[Rory]

Steve is crazy.

[Mal]

Yes, Lord.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Damaris]

That's a church. That's a church.

[Mal]

Absolutely.

[Damaris]

Amen.

[Julian]

Steve.

[Rory]

Have we forgiven Steve?

[Julian]

What do you do?

[Rory]

He was pretty much the biggest dirty Mac homie we ever had.

[Damaris]

Are you talking about why Men Love?

[Rory]

I don't think that was the name of the.

[Damaris]

The book that was.

[Mal]

Steve Harvey to.

[Damaris]

Tell me that book called White Men Love. That's what I'm talking about. I meant act like a lady, think like a man. But why Men Love.

[Mal]

Same title.

[Damaris]

Is a. Is a book. I'm sorry.

[Mal]

Same shit, right?

[Rory]

Yeah, it is.

[Mal]

Which is why I said that they both bestsellers. It's all good. Whatever.

[Julian]

This book.

[Rory]

That was some dirty Mac and shit. But we forgive you, Steve.

[Mal]

Who read that?

[Rory]

I saw. I watched the movie.

[Damaris]

A lot of women. A lot of women read that.

[Rory]

I thought about Terrence J. Read it.

[Mal]

I don't want to date no woman that read a Steve Harvey book.

[Julian]

That's a.

[Damaris]

That's lame.

[Julian]

This is bad.

[Mal]

That's lame. Because I don't want to date a girl that read that book.

[Damaris]

You don't want to. You don't want to date a girl that do nothing.

[Mal]

That's not true.

[Damaris]

That reads right?

[Mal]

That's not true.

[Damaris]

I said he don't want to date an activist. He don't want to date a girl that reads.

[Mal]

I definitely don't want to date an activist.

[Rory]

She's reading why Men like. You could get with that, right? No, the audio version.

[Mal]

No, that's even worse. Listen to somebody read it for you. It's like, that's what you're doing.

[Damaris]

I hate. That's the podcast. It was the original podcast.

[Mal]

Yeah, but I'm just saying, if my girl's sitting in the house and she's listening to somebody read. Why Men like, we gotta have a conversation.

[Rory]

Understand you more.

[Mal]

You can just talk to me. I'm right here next to you. Like you ain't gotta listen to me.

[Rory]

Yeah, but it's different when it comes from Steve.

[Mal]

You're right. Very different. Which is why I'm cool.

[Rory]

I think Lori Harvey probably read the book.

[Mal]

Great.

[Damaris]

Nah, she had the knowledge in the crib. Would he text you? Nah. Say this.

[Mal]

She's still with Dempson. No, they're not together.

[Damaris]

No.

[Julian]

Quiet for her.

[Rory]

She definitely read that book after she Dated future. She had to have.

[Mal]

Why you said?

[Rory]

I think she probably just needed some insight and information.

[Damaris]

Okay, I. I don't know. I always. I. I meant to read those books. I just never got around to it. I got enough of y'all around. I. I know how men think.

[Mal]

Do you?

[Damaris]

Awful. Awfully. Y'all think awfully. I'm good.

[Mal]

Well, why you put us all in one box.

[Julian]

That's right.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Because y'all are the most diverse group of men I've ever met in my life. And yet somehow so much y'all have in common.

[Mal]

Like what? Like, what do me and Julian have in common as far as, like, women?

[Rory]

You both are HIV free. Okay, he just got his test.

[Mal]

Sorry, Rory, but what I'm talking about, what do we have in common when it comes to me and Peach?

[Rory]

Out of that?

[Mal]

Like dating women.

[Damaris]

No, y'all date.

[Rory]

It's hereditary.

[Damaris]

Women. Y'all date different women.

[Mal]

So what do me and Julian, either.

[Damaris]

One of y'all trick?

[Julian]

I mean, I just think that's, like, just a good way to live.

[Mal]

I don't know if that's.

[Rory]

That's. That's being fiscally responsible.

[Damaris]

You trick. Neither one of y'all trick.

[Rory]

I trick now?

[Mal]

I don't know, bro. I couldn't tell you.

[Damaris]

Rory don't trick.

[Mal]

I don't know. I've never seen Rory trick. I don't know what he'd be doing in his off time. I don't like yo, how much you spent this weekend.

[Rory]

When was the last time you saw me trick?

[Damaris]

Well, you're in a relationship, so that's a relationship.

[Rory]

When was the last time? You can't trick in a relationship. That's a relationship.

[Damaris]

That's what I'm saying. You're in a relationship. So obviously you're not out here tricking. You're in a relationship.

[Rory]

Okay, but at one point, I wasn't, and you knew me. When was I tricking?

[Julian]

No, Roy's trying to get to the very specific.

[Mal]

Yeah, he wanted timeline. He's like, I got that part. But tell me when in life you ever saw me trick it.

[Rory]

Julian putting HIV on me is fine. I wear that jacket. I'm not a trick.

[Damaris]

Okay, all right, yeah, joke. I was joking.

[Mal]

All right, so me. So me and Julian don't trick. What else?

[Julian]

What else?

[Damaris]

Both of y'all can't commit.

[Mal]

That's not true.

[Julian]

That's not true.

[Mal]

Yeah, Rory, true.

[Rory]

I went embarrassed with that one.

[Mal]

That's not true.

[Rory]

He tried once, but, you know, I.

[Mal]

Tried a few times. It Just didn't. It didn't work out.

[Julian]

That's right.

[Mal]

What's the problem with that?

[Rory]

How hard. How hard did you try?

[Mal]

Nasty. How hard did you try? Now? What do you mean? I tried. Y'all said I don't. I don't commit. That's not true.

[Julian]

Since I've known you, Ma, I haven't seen you try to commit.

[Mal]

Oh, you just met me last week. It's all good.

[Julian]

Four years.

[Rory]

At his age, that's not that much.

[Mal]

Yeah, who's. Who's counting? Tom is a construct.

[Rory]

All right, so you guys both don't commit. You both don't trick.

[Julian]

That's good. I like. We're two for two.

[Mal]

Yeah. All right. I ain't, man.

[Julian]

I'm on board so far. Yeah.

[Rory]

You both have been in relationships with white women.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Okay, that's fair. Yeah.

[Rory]

You guys are like the same person.

[Mal]

That's it. That's all it takes? Yeah. All right.

[Damaris]

Y'all don't take shit serious. Y'all make a bunch of gay jokes.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah. You guys are both homophobic.

[Julian]

I'm the butt of the joke.

[Mal]

No, Julian is gay.

[Julian]

Different things.

[Mal]

He's actually. Yeah, like, he's homosexual.

[Rory]

Self hate.

[Mal]

Yeah. How's that? Self hate?

[Rory]

Because he's gay and homophobic.

[Mal]

No, he's not.

[Julian]

I'm not.

[Rory]

You're both Democrats.

[Julian]

I hate that. I have to clarify.

[Mal]

I'm not a Democrat. What are you talking about? He's not a Democrat. Shout out to Julian's brother, too. What's his name? Delgado.

[Julian]

Antonio.

[Mal]

Antonio Delgado. He called for Biden.

[Rory]

Last name?

[Mal]

He called.

[Rory]

Literally, his brother's name was Delgado. Delgado.

[Mal]

I don't. I don't know. I don't know. He may be mad. I don't know. What his brother's last name.

[Julian]

Yeah, he had a pretty big announcement.

[Rory]

His brother may be married and took her name.

[Mal]

The New York governor and lieutenant are split over Biden. Julian's brother, he called for Biden to drop out of the presidential race, correct?

[Julian]

Yes. While the current governor, Hochul has been a. One of Biden's biggest supporters. So this is the. This actually, like, it's a pretty big story, but they're, you know, they're very definitive. Definitively on different sides of this. My brother.

[Mal]

Tell your brother he's a good man.

[Rory]

Yeah, I texted him when I.

[Julian]

When. You know, it's funny, I learned most of the stuff about what he says when, like, the New York Times posts about it, and then I'll always text him on the side and we'll talk a little bit, but yeah, this was a really big moment.

[Damaris]

Are you guys close?

[Julian]

Yeah, I talk to him quite often.

[Mal]

Well, tell him I. Tell him I would love to have a conversation.

[Rory]

He.

[Julian]

He said he's. He would like to come on the show.

[Mal]

Yeah, tell him to come on, man.

[Julian]

His wife's mixed.

[Rory]

You think?

[Damaris]

Cuz, I think he. Fine.

[Mal]

But is it things? Is he going to give us like, a list of things he can't talk about?

[Julian]

No, he's cool. Honestly, he wouldn't even really want to talk politics. My brother's a huge music nerd, so.

[Damaris]

We'Ll talk him about it.

[Rory]

I know, like, eventually he probably wants to run for president. Would you be like his Hunter Biden? So, you know, family member that, like, like, really up the whole campaign?

[Julian]

At one point in my life, I'll steal your laptop.

[Rory]

You know, we can really get this thing going.

[Julian]

At one point in my life. Yeah, I would. I would have been worried about that. I'm good now. Like in the drug years, like those days.

[Rory]

Oh, but what you say on this podcast.

[Damaris]

I was gonna say, I think this podcast does be better if you're on Damage.

[Rory]

Quiet and on coke.

[Damaris]

Then the coke.

[Julian]

Name one thing I've said that's bad on this.

[Rory]

You're homophobic.

[Mal]

No, I'm not.

[Julian]

You're projecting. How am I homophobic and gay? That makes no sense. I'm an ally that makes zero.

[Rory]

It's self hate.

[Mal]

I'm just. Baby, they always get mad at me when I start laughing that shit. Like I can't laugh. God damn. I'm just laughing at the exchange between Rory and Julia.

[Rory]

You've never seen a guy that didn't come out of the closet that just, like, hates gays because he hates himself.

[Julian]

Damaris and Maul are the two most homophobic ones.

[Damaris]

I am not homophobic. I hate that rhetoric that y'all have.

[Rory]

Put on one A mall, one B for sure.

[Mal]

All right, I just want y'all to.

[Rory]

But we can actually know. Peach is definitely just.

[Mal]

Can y'all tell me how I'm homophobic, though?

[Damaris]

Yes, in a second. I'm not hom.

[Rory]

No, you've told us. We don't need to tell you.

[Julian]

Can somebody just cut a compilation tape, please?

[Mal]

Somebody make a compilation of me being homophobic?

[Rory]

Did you guys see the greatest A R of all time? Bring two worlds together. LeBron. What's his middle name?

[Mal]

I don't even know.

[Damaris]

You asking? We don't know.

[Rory]

We know. Jordans. It's Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

[Mal]

How come we don't know.

[Rory]

What's LeBron?

[Julian]

LeBron Ramon. Raymond.

[Damaris]

Raymond Raymond.

[Rory]

Damn, that's Spanish the whole time.

[Mal]

I never KNEW that was LeBron's middle name. He has Ron Ramon. This is definitely Panamanian rainbow. Yo, LeBron might be LeBron if you don't take your ass and play for Team Panama. LeBron Raymond.

[Rory]

Trump should get his birth certificate. We need to find out where LeBron is really from.

[Mal]

He from Panama. I know a Panamanian when I see it. You don't know if they Dominican. You like you Dominican, not Panamanian. Same shit.

[Damaris]

LeBron Raymond.

[Mal]

LeBron Raymond from Akron, Panama. LeBron, you from Panama. A Panamanian been winning all these gold medals for us.

[Damaris]

Oh, my God, bruh.

[Rory]

Listen, if Obama can be our president, see? What? He's not from America.

[Damaris]

Yes, he is.

[Rory]

Oh, that's what Trump said. He would never lie.

[Julian]

What did LeBron do? Rory?

[Damaris]

These are my two personalities.

[Rory]

Like Lincoln LeBron, the greatest a R of all time, connected Sexy Red and Andre 3000. A regular A and R would be like, yo, we should get three stacks in nas. Nah, not LeBron.

[Mal]

Sexy.

[Rory]

He's trying to do something, like, against the Grain and bring two worlds together to show us that this can work.

[Julian]

Worlds collide.

[Mal]

This is the latest episode of the Shot.

[Rory]

Yeah, yeah, I saw.

[Mal]

I saw the guest on there. I did. I was. I was. I laughed at seeing Sexy Red standing next to Andre 3000. I was like, this seems like the most. This is a mashup that you didn't know was even possible to happen. And I think Jerry Lorenzo's on this episode too.

[Rory]

Nigel Sylvester, I think, is on there too.

[Mal]

Nigel, shout out to Jerry Lorenzo, the legend.

[Rory]

I'm excited to see this full episode. I am just joking around.

[Julian]

Do you guys want to hear Sexy Red's thoughts on using haters as motivation?

[Rory]

Sure.

[Mal]

Oh, I need this right now.

[Damaris]

They still don't believe in me, so I just be like, I'm going.

[Mal]

Just show y'all.

[Damaris]

And like he said, they don't be honest. Like, we really came from nothing. And then we be making a big achievements. Like, that's something for us. And then they just be like, you ain't doing nothing but F us.

[Rory]

It's like, talk about me. Fuel.

[Damaris]

Ain't nobody doing this, so fuel.

[Mal]

Use it for fuel. Hater fuel, man.

[Julian]

It's the best shit.

[Rory]

It's free energy.

[Damaris]

I like when they talk about that.

[Rory]

That free energy.

[Mal]

Cause that.

[Rory]

That make me go.

[Mal]

That make me go in.

[Julian]

I have this flute in his hand.

[Damaris]

It don't make you go in. Cause we're the album.

[Rory]

Three Stacks. I doubt you can make a rap album.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, let's.

[Rory]

I say, yo, Three Stacks, I think you're trash. I think you're one of the worst rappers ever. You cannot make a solo rap album at all.

[Julian]

And this is coming.

[Rory]

No way. Three Stack, you're washed up. I don't think you could do it. I heard Big Boy write your rhymes.

[Mal]

Let me tell you why Thousand is he full of right now?

[Rory]

Cuz he has a flute in his head.

[Mal]

Who the hates Andre. Like, what G got somewhere was like, I hate Andre.

[Rory]

I mean, his Achilles heel, love. He doesn't get enough of it, man.

[Mal]

Nobody hate Andre.

[Damaris]

Now I've had. I've heard some people say that is overrated.

[Rory]

There's a lot of people the same way Twitter, like, leaned into that hate Tupac thing. There is also a community that hates Three Stacks sex and thinks he's overrated. Yeah, but shouldn't be in the top.

[Julian]

I think with him it's more just frustration. Just put out a solo album.

[Mal]

Listen, man, who's the greatest chef in the world? Whatever his or her name may be? There's going to be somebody that'll sit down and eat their food and it's going to think it's terrible. So we know that you can't please everybody. So yes, there is a community that may think that Andre 3000 is overrated.

[Rory]

But not bad enough to care.

[Mal]

Yeah, but that ain't. It ain't enough to like affect Andre. It ain't like loud enough. Like, who the fuck hates Andre 3000? Like, it's.

[Rory]

You don't know what his request DMS are. Like. Does he have Instagram?

[Damaris]

Oh, my God, no. I would hate to be in your request. Your request DMS probably look like Nam mine.

[Rory]

Oh, there's a lot of rice patties in mind.

[Mal]

Yeah, I don't know about. I don't know what that look like. Those are. That's like going to like a part of the city I just never go to.

[Julian]

What's what part of the city do you not. What's the least ventured part of the city for you? Mall Brooklyn.

[Mal]

Anywhere outside of Williamsburg, as far as Brooklyn.

[Damaris]

That told you.

[Julian]

Okay.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Julian]

I would love to go out with you in Williamsburg.

[Rory]

Are you a frequent Staten Islander?

[Mal]

Oh, well, there you go. That's number one. Staten Island. Long Island.

[Rory]

Well, Long Island's not a borough, but.

[Mal]

Well, I mean, it's a part of.

[Julian]

I haven't been to either.

[Mal]

I don't. I don't go to Staten island at all. I may have been to Staten island in my entire life three times, and I've lived in New York 40 something years, and I've been to Staten island maybe three times.

[Rory]

They all share your political views. You'd love it out there.

[Mal]

I keep hearing that I'm gonna have to go look at some condoms, some property.

[Rory]

You keep hearing that. Where you keep hearing that?

[Mal]

Facebook from you. You always talk about Staten Island.

[Rory]

I've been to Staten island all the time.

[Mal]

Yeah, I've never. I've been to. I think the last time I went to Staten Island, I knew that was gonna be my last time going to Staten Island. I think me and my cousin was going and we had to drive the car into a boat.

[Damaris]

Boat.

[Mal]

And then drive the car off the boat and then go where we was going. I said, bro, I'm never doing this again in my life.

[Rory]

Was this. Was this in the 60s?

[Mal]

No. This was. No.

[Damaris]

They had. They had the car.

[Julian]

Yeah, they had the car ferry. Yeah.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah. They still have that?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I thought they got rid of that a long time ago.

[Mal]

I don't. They might have. I don't know when I did that. I remember sitting on that like, I'm never doing this again.

[Damaris]

Why?

[Rory]

It's a nice ride. I love the Staten Island.

[Mal]

I'm not fam. Cause what we doing? What's happening out here? What are we doing? We could have did this in Manhattan. Yeah, but we ain't going to no restaurant. It ain't like we like, yo, we got to go to Staten island to get the. The banana pudding or the.

[Rory]

They have good food there, though.

[Mal]

I'm not saying they don't. But I never heard nobody say we got to go to Staten island to get that good food. We ain't bypassing all the good food in Manhattan to go to Staten island.

[Rory]

And eat some good out there, though.

[Mal]

See, I never met many girls from Staten Island. That may be a reason they would.

[Rory]

Definitely date you despite their father. You might. You might clean up and stuff.

[Julian]

And then you'd link with their father and you guys would hit it off because you share the same views.

[Mal]

Yeah. Once they find out my political.

[Rory]

Yeah, yeah, they're gonna be like, look at my African.

[Julian]

One of the good ones.

[Mal]

My muan over here.

[Julian]

They would do that, though.

[Rory]

By the way, one of my youngest racial slurs ever.

[Mal]

Mun.

[Rory]

That's the craziest.

[Damaris]

What does it mean?

[Rory]

Think it's an eggplant.

[Mal]

Does it mean something like that? I don't even Italian Guy told me years ago what it meant, but I forgot. I just thought it was funny.

[Julian]

Yeah. Isn't it like, the color, the outer tone of the eggplant?

[Damaris]

That's like purple, though.

[Julian]

Yeah, that's the point.

[Rory]

Like, you have to be really dedicated to racism to come up with.

[Mal]

With that. Yeah. Like, you sat up. Whoever came up with that.

[Rory]

You spent a lot of time.

[Mal]

Yeah, they sat up at night waiting, finding out what that word meant. Yeah, Mulian.

[Rory]

And then had to explain it to everyone.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

They made their life.

[Mal]

We're calling them now. That's what we're calling them now.

[Julian]

All right, so you know how eggplants look really dark and purple?

[Mal]

It's like.

[Julian]

That's like. Wait, what? Yeah, just explain that to your whole community.

[Rory]

People are so dedicated to racism. It's weird.

[Mal]

It's the funniest in the world.

[Rory]

Like, you really have to care. Did you guys see the clip of Andre 3000 explaining that pimpy hated him?

[Damaris]

No. Really?

[Rory]

So they initially sent the Jesus Christ, why am I blanking? International players anthem beat, like, as is that we hear that Pimpsy and Bunby are on one and then three sacks just, like, stripped it for his verse and sent it back. And Pimp C was like, who the do you think you are to take my beat and strip it down? And was very mad at Andre 2000. I mean, I think he made the right choice.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Pimp C probably had to just get over that one.

[Mal]

I'm gonna watch this episode only because, again, this is, like, a group of people that I never thought would be in the same room. And the shop does that. They. They have.

[Julian]

Yeah, I like that. That's good.

[Mal]

They have a good way of shop. A lot like cross, you know, conversational lizing. That's a word. I made it up. Different athletes, different, you know, people in fashion and culture, they do a great job of that. LeBron is using, obviously, his relationships very well when it comes to the shop. So shout out to the shop. New episode. I'm definitely gonna check that one out.

[Rory]

Do we have voicemails?

[Mal]

You've got mail.

[Julian]

We do. This one is directed at mall. Mall. You have to address your crimes.

[Rory]

You were excited about these. You told me yesterday that you wanted to save them.

[Julian]

This one I got this morning. This one is actually from just two hours ago. But I do have others that are fantastic, which we can play. But this one, I want Mall to answer these. This one right now.

[Damaris]

Okay. Okay.

[Rory]

Yo, what's good, Pod? My name is Kazi from Va. I got a funny junk today for y'all type. I just want to know is it hip hop to still watch the pod with my girl? So for context, I've been rocking with Rory and Maul since the old pod.

[Mal]

With the current crew too. Shout out Julian.

[Rory]

Shout out Baby D specifically I always.

[Mal]

With Ma from Jump like he was cool.

[Rory]

Dude spoke from a similar standpoint. I feel like I have on a lot of the past topics.

[Mal]

My shorty had never knew who Ma was, but through time I put her.

[Rory]

On the hella content. She watches most of the episodes with me now. Over that time, Ma has followed her on multiple social medias.

[Mal]

He done commented the infamous money bags.

[Rory]

Liked a lot of and even DM'd her a few times on some like.

[Mal]

I want you some type shit. You know, some shooter shoot.

[Rory]

Though I ain't mad. She fine as hell. He got good taste.

[Mal]

You know, we've been together over 10 years.

[Rory]

I'm not tripping about none of that. You DM'd her. I want you then.

[Damaris]

No, see, I believed him till he said that.

[Rory]

Yeah, I was actually on board with him because I know you definitely DM me now.

[Mal]

There's more.

[Julian]

I just want you to. Do you have anything to say though, thus far?

[Mal]

Oh, no, I want to hear the.

[Rory]

Rest of it before with some underground rappers.

[Mal]

I put her on too as well.

[Rory]

Low key.

[Mal]

I just want to know, is it.

[Rory]

Hip hop to still tune into episodes with her? No. And also, how long is it hip.

[Mal]

Hop to attempt pursuing a woman that's.

[Rory]

Not giving you no response or no play the pod take on it? Wait, you double DMing her? Ooh, she didn't even reply. And you, you sent the question mark.

[Julian]

Said she left you on red and you still.

[Rory]

You said hey love after hey stink.

[Mal]

She probably responded through the text message. Oh.

[Julian]

Go through her icloud King type.

[Damaris]

Mall in her search box.

[Rory]

I want to know IG Facebook.

[Mal]

Where's he from?

[Julian]

Virginia.

[Rory]

Several Virginia.

[Mal]

So her girls in Virginia or is she.

[Julian]

She could be in the Bronx right now.

[Mal]

Hey, listen man, I might. I might have told your girl I wanted. I didn't know she had a man though.

[Rory]

I can't see you DMing a girl.

[Mal]

I want you H. Yeah, no, that doesn't sound.

[Damaris]

So is it hip hop for him to continue to watch the pod with her?

[Mal]

Yeah, why not? Obviously I don't. Like I never. We never hooked up. Like, she didn't.

[Rory]

How do you know she.

[Mal]

If she's in Virginia, I would know.

[Rory]

Like she can't visit New York?

[Mal]

Nah, But I know you never a girl from Virginia.

[Damaris]

Well, he flies them out. Rory.

[Mal]

Who?

[Damaris]

Oh, sorry.

[Julian]

Oh, wait, no, she said, don't you.

[Rory]

Like, every other weekend go to va? Va?

[Mal]

Not every other weekend.

[Rory]

You go to VA a lot, though.

[Mal]

I haven't been to VA in a few months.

[Rory]

Visit family.

[Julian]

That's not that long of a time, Ma. Few months.

[Mal]

Yeah, but I didn't. I didn't hook up with no girl down there.

[Rory]

What'd you do after the DC show?

[Mal]

Stayed in DC and I came back home the next day.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Julian]

They call it the dmv. That includes Virginia.

[Rory]

Weird. When we did Nucci's podcast or platform, you were like, already MVA when we did what? Of course. Weird.

[Mal]

Yeah, you was with me, though. Like, I know what I was doing.

[Rory]

We went in separate cars. You was already, like, in Virginia. Wait, I think N is in Maryland.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's what I'm like, what is he talking about?

[Rory]

This LI is not working very well at all.

[Mal]

Like, what? No, man. Kazi thought.

[Rory]

Thought about.

[Mal]

I don't know who your girl is. If I DM'd her. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know.

[Rory]

He threw a little shot at you, though, at the end.

[Mal]

Said what?

[Rory]

Of, like, is it hip hop to continue really pursue a girl that's not replying to you?

[Mal]

Yeah, that's hip hop. People have been happily married for 50 years after consistently pursuing a woman that wasn't giving them no play at one point in time.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm a double texter. Are you guys double texters? I have no shame or ego in.

[Mal]

Double test if I'm double texting you. We already. We have a history.

[Damaris]

Like, yeah, we haven't.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, dm. And she doesn't reply. I'm definitely not sending another dm.

[Julian]

Have you ever unsent that original DM and tried again?

[Damaris]

No. Ew.

[Rory]

Can't they see if you do that?

[Julian]

Well, like, someone will get a notification that a message has been unsent, but they can't see who it's from. Oh, okay.

[Rory]

No, I've never even unsent a dm, period.

[Damaris]

Oh, I've unsent.

[Julian]

It's like when you're a kid and you're playing basketball alone and you're like, five, four, three, two. And you miss the first one. You're like, oh, my God, timeout. And then you get the ball back and you hit the second shot.

[Mal]

What the are you talking about?

[Julian]

You know, that makes sense, though. You know what I'M talking about.

[Damaris]

You act like an only child, but you have siblings.

[Mal]

I don't.

[Julian]

Well, Kendall and I would. We would do the game.

[Mal]

You act like an only child, but you have siblings. That's autism. That's what that's called.

[Julian]

Every kid's done that.

[Mal]

Count it from five to one.

[Rory]

Yeah, but I've never missed. And then went. It was a timeout.

[Julian]

All right, now you just hit it on the first shot every time.

[Rory]

No, I'm saying if I missed, then I just missed.

[Damaris]

I just missed.

[Julian]

Then you lost the game.

[Rory]

No, we just restarted the 10 count again.

[Mal]

Now your turn. You can't make that shot. See how it goes. All right, guy, you shoot now.

[Julian]

Well, point is, if you delete the message, it's like you missed the shot.

[Mal]

Now, I stand on big business in the dm. Okay, I ain't sending. Let your man find it.

[Rory]

What type of big businesses in the deal? Yeah, all your chats say this is a business chat.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's a business profile. Looking to boost your post.

[Damaris]

Looking.

[Mal]

Did this.

[Rory]

Did this business chat satisfy you? I love that question.

[Damaris]

You know you can make an appointment for what?

[Mal]

Yes, I've made plenty.

[Rory]

It's called Nescort.

[Damaris]

Yeah, no, I mean like on Instagram, in the DMs. You can make it. I made an appointment with a man. You can make an appointment.

[Julian]

What do you mean?

[Mal]

What do you mean you made an appointment with a man?

[Julian]

The coordinated talk.

[Damaris]

No, like, you can make. Like, you can book. Like, if they have a business profile, you can, like, book them.

[Rory]

Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, that's kind of cool.

[Mal]

What did you book this man for?

[Damaris]

It was my birthday. And I remember I put the thing in there. I was like, my birthday.

[Julian]

What was the appointment for?

[Damaris]

Yeah, it was just an appointment so that they never forget.

[Mal]

Yeah. Wait, so that he never forgets your birthday. Is this.

[Rory]

Somebody thought you were hiring for your birthday for something?

[Damaris]

No, I just wanted.

[Julian]

I thought there was a service.

[Rory]

That's what I thought, too.

[Damaris]

Time.

[Mal]

Do you know him or just some deer I know. Oh, okay. Okay. I thought this was some random.

[Rory]

Strangely vague about this entire thing.

[Damaris]

Yeah, why would I tell my business on y'all goddamn podcast?

[Mal]

I mean, just set an appointment number 13. You offer the information. We would never know.

[Damaris]

He could be my cousin. Y'all don't know that. All I see.

[Julian]

That'd be weird.

[Mal]

It's always a cousin. He my cousin.

[Damaris]

I can't. I can't help my cousin bring groceries in the house.

[Mal]

Yeah, exactly.

[Rory]

We've all done it.

[Mal]

Yeah. Come on, you got to help your cousin bring groceries in the house.

[Rory]

I'm kind of offended that she won't tell her business on the 13th largest hip hop media platform.

[Mal]

Yo, don't say that.

[Damaris]

I mean, maybe if y'all was top five. Y'all not even top five.

[Mal]

Hold on, hold on. Hello, Rory, stop saying not 14.

[Rory]

And we not 14.

[Mal]

Stop saying that. That's nasty. Please don't say that no more.

[Julian]

Well, you're going to get a little. You guys should get like 13s tatted, like on your wrist.

[Mal]

No, that's like the worst idea I've ever heard in my life.

[Damaris]

Actually, 13 is a very unlucky. I think they wishing bad.

[Julian]

I'm bullshorn on a Friday the 13th. So maybe there's some synergy. Look at it.

[Mal]

That explains so much about.

[Julian]

It's good, right? It's synergy.

[Mal]

It's the greatest.

[Julian]

13. And then next year maybe we can be 11. November 11th.

[Rory]

You know, Jesus and his 12 disciples makes 13.

[Mal]

I ain't even put that together.

[Julian]

Damn. They don't even put them in the math.

[Rory]

A Righteous number by righteous men. Yeah, you don't even know that Outcast album.

[Mal]

I don't. Right.

[Damaris]

Oh, yeah, they're working.

[Rory]

I'm putting knowledge on. You don't even know at aliens.

[Mal]

No, you don't even know that Outcast album. You have no idea they even put that out.

[Julian]

Yeah, because the way where Jesus was in the middle and there were six people on each side.

[Mal]

Yo, that's hilarious. All right, Kazi, I don't know who your girl is. She obviously looks good. Yes, it is. Yeah.

[Julian]

Congrats. It sounds like you have a pretty woman.

[Rory]

Yeah. Can you reply? We won't put her IG up anywhere, but I am curious. Can you like reply with her. Her app?

[Mal]

Yeah, I gotta see. Send a follow up with her Instagram name. Just say her Instagram there. We ain't gonna play it on air. Yeah, I just. Yeah, I would love to know who your girl is and who you talking.

[Julian]

And then we're all gonna follow her.

[Damaris]

You.

[Julian]

I can send her the article that.

[Mal]

I can't up his.

[Julian]

Clearly not.

[Rory]

I'll send her a DM saying I.

[Mal]

Don'T want you just talking, but yeah, I do want to know who you talking about.

[Damaris]

If you her already. You can't. You can't tell him that you her already.

[Mal]

Of course. Well, of course I will. You will? No, no, I'm not.

[Damaris]

What if he's a patron? He is a patreon describing.

[Mal]

I would never. I would never do that. But I do want to know who he's talking about. I do want to know who his girl is, though.

[Rory]

I wonder if she told him. Or he went in her DMs and saw it.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah. Oh, that's a. You know what?

[Rory]

That's what I really want to follow up.

[Mal]

Tell us how you know. I DMed her. How did you find out?

[Rory]

Because if you found out by looking through her DMS and she's watching the show with you, that's a little shady. Nah, she, like, laughed and was like, oh, he DM me. Cool. You can continue to watch the show, but to answer his question, it's not hip hop. If you went through your girl's phone, saw that, mall DM'd her, and now you're still watching that show with her.

[Julian]

Yeah, no, I think she told him.

[Mal]

Either way, send us a voicemail. A voicemail again. Let us know what her Instagram is.

[Damaris]

And how you found out.

[Mal]

Yeah, and how you found out. We're not gonna obviously say her name on the show, though. We got another one.

[Julian]

Okay, we do. Let's see. Which one do we wanna. Let's do this one.

[Mal]

Hey.

[Damaris]

Okay, so California, and I got a man. He Mexican and all that.

[Mal]

This.

[Julian]

Yeah, high energy. A lot of words jammed into this one, so we might kind of make.

[Rory]

And he Mexican.

[Julian]

Okay, this is great.

[Mal]

And.

[Damaris]

And I'm black. And there's like cultural differences. Like, okay, so me and my family, we don't. With, you know, Mexicans saying the N word, even though they do all the time. But, like, especially around me or my family. No, we don't with that. There's gonna be some issues. We already dealt with that already got it toward away.

[Mal]

Don't be saying it.

[Damaris]

That's cool. But he's like, okay, my family is mean when it comes to, like, nicknames and like, like, like, you know, like, if you're fat, they gonna call you Gordo or whatever like that. And like, other shit like that. There's like colorist shit that they be saying, right? And of course, black people, we not any better. But at the same time, there's gonna.

[Mal]

Be a difference, you know?

[Damaris]

And it's like, okay, so we.

[Rory]

We want to have a baby.

[Mal]

We.

[Damaris]

We looking forward to it and all this other shit. We. We in the works.

[Mal]

We.

[Damaris]

We fucking. So, like, we're gonna get this baby. We're gonna have this baby soon. And like, he was like, oh, okay, well, they're gonna be calling baby Little Negrito and share, like, little Blackie or anything like that in Spanish or talk about his nappy hair or whatever. And, you know, I don't want to take him away from his little mescu. Silent, little bilingual baby, you know, I want him to be, you know, deep.

[Mal]

In his culture, both cultures.

[Damaris]

But I don't know, like, how would you navigate this?

[Mal]

You know?

[Damaris]

Cause then I'm gonna be the one that's looking crazy. But it's like, you're not gonna be, you know, talking to my baby like this. Like, one point he gonna feel left out, you know, And I don't want that. I don't want that. So please help me out. Cause not little nickers.

[Rory]

I feel like this would be a great question for logic. He could navigate this much better than, I think the rest of us.

[Mal]

I'm not even sure which.

[Rory]

What's the question?

[Mal]

Yeah, I must say, I don't even know what she's asking at this point.

[Julian]

I think she's addressing the troubles that might come with raising a mixed baby with two ethnically different back. Two backgrounds that are very different in terms of the black side of the family versus the Mexican side, and how she can appropriately appreciate both those sides in channel that with her husband's, her man's family, and her family.

[Rory]

I mean, just don't let them get that off.

[Julian]

Yeah, those rules should probably been established a while ago, like, before a kid.

[Mal]

Yeah, I just. I mean, this is the person that you choosing to have a kid with, a biracial kid. And y'all didn't have this conversation already, but now baby's on the way. I. I don't know how you fix that. I don't know how you, you know, could even go about having that conversation at this point. It's probably too late to have.

[Julian]

Well, baby's not on the way yet. She said they're. They want.

[Mal]

Oh, she's not pregnant.

[Julian]

They'd want a kid. Yeah. So she's just thinking ahead, which is.

[Damaris]

Worse because she's a fucking idiot. I'm sorry, sweetheart. You're dumb. Why are you going to bring a baby into the world with a family that has already explained to you. Hey, I'm explaining to you my family. Racist. We're going to continue to be racist. And you can either get with it or get going. And you, like, I want that to be my baby daddy. I want to have a baby with him. I want to have a biracial baby.

[Julian]

Yeah, but she's saying that their Mexican family's racist in the way that her family's racist. It's just. They just don't play that. The fact that their family says the N. Mad Mexicans say the N word.

[Damaris]

Her family is not going to be calling her half Mexican baby little wetback. Like how she just explained that his family is going to be calling the baby little negrita. Why would you sign your kid up for some shit like that? Why?

[Mal]

Yeah, that's the part I'm not understanding. I think at this point, you just.

[Rory]

Because she likes him, not his family. Family.

[Mal]

Yeah, but you can find another. If you. If her goal is to have a biracial kid, there's plenty of.

[Rory]

I don't think that's her goal.

[Mal]

Sounds like it.

[Damaris]

Why would you. Why would you want to give your okay. You. She likes him, not his family. Wow. That's your. That's going to be your kid's family and your family now it's not.

[Mal]

His mom is your kid's grandmother.

[Damaris]

You're gonna give your kid a racist family.

[Julian]

That happens all the time.

[Damaris]

Doesn't make it right, Julian.

[Julian]

I'm not saying it's right, but it's also. That's this. It's just the nature of this country.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's definitely common. For sure.

[Julian]

It's pretty common.

[Mal]

It's stupid when you think. Especially when you talk about blacks and Mexicans and you get in the history of Mexicans, like, we're. We're the same. I don't know if people understand that part yet, but. I don't know, it's just. It's stupid. But.

[Julian]

But I'm all like, if that's your guy, like, if that's your man and you're in love with him. I, like, I'm not gonna leave him just because the family sucks.

[Damaris]

He sucks.

[Rory]

How do you know that?

[Julian]

How do you know she loves.

[Damaris]

She just sat up there and is telling him, hey, by the way, my family do this, this, this, this and that. And, oh, like, first of all, you. Whatever. Okay, never mind.

[Mal]

Go ahead.

[Julian]

We talk about Rory's fucking racist ass Irish family.

[Rory]

He's the way he is told the whole story. When I brought Amara over to one of my.

[Julian]

Exactly.

[Rory]

Families, where I was like, yeah, we gotta leave. Because I can already see this is about to go off the rails.

[Mal]

I can see that.

[Rory]

No, not about Amar. Just certain views of certain people in my family. And I know all you white listeners have the greatest families ever. No one's racist. You guys are amazing. Of course it's just me. I'm the only white person that has racist people in my family.

[Mal]

Naturally.

[Rory]

You guys are awesome.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Shout out to Twitter activists when it gets to that point. Yeah, you gotta leave, But I can see you don't make blood. Lights are flowing now, and I see where this combo is going. I'm getting my black girlfriend away.

[Mal]

But you don't make Smart, man.

[Damaris]

You don't make excuses.

[Rory]

No, no, no excuses.

[Damaris]

He is sitting up there explaining.

[Rory]

I used to argue with him. I'm done arguing with them. There's no getting through to him.

[Julian]

He didn't say a word. He called. Called.

[Damaris]

No. She sat up there and said, hey, his family. He's telling me, hey, by the way, my family's gonna call the baby little Negrita. And this.

[Mal]

This.

[Rory]

My family doesn't go like that.

[Damaris]

Exactly. Like, what the.

[Rory]

They just have some weird political views.

[Damaris]

Yes. That's fine. That happens.

[Rory]

Everybody just don't think women should have a choice about their bodies.

[Damaris]

Cool. But this. Why would you subject your child to that type of. That doesn't make any sense to me. She like, oh, I already told them, you know, they got to stop saying it. You hanging around Mexicans. I say the N word. And you want to procreate with that? You want to continue on them jeans? Somebody got to be honest with Shorty. I would be honest. Y'all ain't being honest. Why do you want to procreate with somebody?

[Rory]

I am white. I'm staying out of this combo. Leave. That's y'all.

[Julian]

Y'all give advice, but she's not procreating with the fam. She's promoting with the guy that she loves. Mad people have families. Okay, like, that's my point. My point is, like, she loves this guy Julian. Yes. Shitty families are everywhere. That comes with, like. A lot of people marry into situations where, like, my in laws are awful. That's not, like, a nuanced take.

[Damaris]

Yeah, but that's finding out they're awful. You know, they're awful. And it's still like, yeah, I want to make more of them. No, that don't make any sense.

[Julian]

You don't want to make more of them. You want to create something new with the person you love.

[Damaris]

It's still them. That's still their family. You can't. That's still them. Your. Your. Your child.

[Julian]

That was unfair.

[Mal]

Would have said about Rory.

[Damaris]

Like, Rory's not running around saying the N word other than Nickerson Gardens, but his family.

[Julian]

No, but there's someone in his family running around saying the N word. That's my point.

[Rory]

Probably that's problem.

[Julian]

But Rory is not his Facebook, he's him.

[Rory]

Like if, if Peach falls in love with a Nubian, he's number. What do we think Peach's family thinks?

[Mal]

Right?

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Come on.

[Julian]

Take that.

[Rory]

Look at Peach's face. Look at my face. What do y'all think our families think?

[Damaris]

And with all due respect, I would tell my home girls not to bring a baby into a family like that. I don't care. Don't bring your baby into a family like that. I'm sorry, I don't. No matter how much you love. Okay, I love them. I love them. I love them. You. This is about your kids.

[Rory]

But I put my family in their place when they get on some of that bullshit.

[Julian]

But I.

[Rory]

The last time I was like, we should just leave because babies still trying to figure that part.

[Julian]

But it takes time.

[Rory]

I've definitely put my family in place when they be on some bullshit.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But I'm not going to dedicate my fucking life to trying to change 60 year old's point of view. Like, you're not going to get through to them. Like.

[Julian]

No, but what, what Rory, what Rory has done by like with like Kia and introducing her to his family. It always takes someone to bring someone in to show that.

[Mal]

That your views are.

[Julian]

The media has made all black people monsters in my mind for 60 fucking years. Everything that's wrong in this country is due to black people. Now my, my nephew, my grandson, whomever is in love with one of these people, they're in our house. Oh shit. She's a great person. I like her. That's really what it takes. So to eradicate and avoid is not the op. The solution. It takes people to bring in different cultures, different races and, and you have to be like, you know, the person that bears the, the pole, the totem that comes with that and all the weight and all, all the bullshit that comes with that. But that stuff matters. Like that's what really changes people's perception of other races and ethnicities.

[Rory]

Listen, my godfather married an Italian woman. Changed my whole perspective. Like, I mean you guys are still obnoxious, but Italians aren't too bad. Yeah, y'all still don't shut the up. But.

[Damaris]

And I'm saying don't.

[Rory]

But I love, I love his wife's family. There's like 30,000 of them at every Easter. They're all on steroids. But you know, they're still racist.

[Damaris]

They bought, they bought her in.

[Rory]

I'll always be racist.

[Damaris]

He's still racist. Well, they didn't change His.

[Rory]

But now they're good people.

[Mal]

They're good people. Is crazy.

[Damaris]

Wow, bro.

[Mal]

I see why y'all don't like Trump. I get it now.

[Rory]

Oh, they all love Trump.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's the guy. But I get it.

[Rory]

I understand Italians from Jersey. Yeah, that's the Messiah.

[Damaris]

Listen, man, all I'm saying is don't. Don't put the onus on your. On your child to have to deal with that. That's. I just don't think that that's fair. It's not your child's. Oh, well, have a little black cousin, so we'll stop being racist.

[Rory]

Get the out of here. It definitely doesn't work.

[Damaris]

Get.

[Rory]

Exactly.

[Damaris]

Get the out of here. No, don't do that.

[Rory]

Let's. Let's do one more voicemail. I don't really have advice in that whole situation. Plus, I don't think it's my place to give advice. That's.

[Damaris]

She called asking for it. I gave my advice.

[Rory]

All right, well, you hate Mexicans. That's your advice?

[Damaris]

No, it's not that they hate her. The.

[Julian]

All right, well, let's do. It's one more. Another dating one. This one's more of a financial dispute, dude. Or difference. Hey, guys, I wanted to get your input on this.

[Rory]

You okay?

[Mal]

I've been with my girl about four years. She gets along with my family, but.

[Julian]

Her family, we don't really get along too much.

[Rory]

Racist.

[Mal]

It's not too much of a problem.

[Rory]

For me, but I'm.

[Mal]

I'm Middle Eastern, so it is kind.

[Julian]

Of an issue when. When it comes to family and getting along.

[Mal]

Basically.

[Julian]

To make it simple, she comes from a family of means.

[Mal]

I don't.

[Rory]

So that's kind of.

[Julian]

I think, the main issue her family have.

[Mal]

It's not all her family, but mainly her.

[Rory]

Her parents, for sure.

[Julian]

Not that I depend on her at all, but it is something that constantly gets brought up and causes issues not from her, but from the family.

[Mal]

How. How would you guys go about dealing with that?

[Damaris]

He's Cinderella.

[Rory]

I feel like he should just get with the girl that was from the earlier voicemail and we could solve both voicemails in one. Like, you just go get with the girl that's dealing with a racist family.

[Mal]

But why.

[Rory]

He's Middle Eastern.

[Mal]

Why? You sound like he's sending that voicemail from, like, the closet and his girl better not hear him. He's. Here's a guy that needs help, cuz he's.

[Rory]

He's Cinderella.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, he's in the closet.

[Rory]

Like he don't want steps like Harry Potter.

[Mal]

He's calling out for help. He needs advice.

[Rory]

I don't think there's anything you can and do. Just prove that you got your own. Yeah, that's not even a combo. Just go with action.

[Mal]

I mean, I'm all for, like, your family. Like, I ain't got to be around your family. That'd be the other side of it for me. I don't have to be around your family. Like, I don't have to go to no family functions, no event. They damn sure ain't got to come to my house if they don't like me. So, I mean, you know, I don't know. That's just me, though.

[Rory]

Yeah. With him, I. Actions. Yeah.

[Julian]

Okay, but what does that look like? This kid's young. Like, clearly, the. The money. We're talking what seems like generational wealth versus a kid that just, you know, is probably going to eventually make more money than his family has ever had, but that doesn't seem like it's coming anytime soon.

[Rory]

Next time y'all go to dinner, throw your card down and say it's on me.

[Julian]

That's not how that works. That's an awful idea.

[Rory]

Okay, then have mall pay for it.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's definitely not. Definitely not doing. Definitely not. Don't hit me.

[Rory]

All right, well, how. How else can you show that you have your own money and you're not here for hers? You're just here because you love her as a person? All right, sign the prenup. I'm just trying to give solutions here.

[Mal]

Sign the prenup. For sure. Definitely.

[Rory]

Nah, you have to. Nah.

[Julian]

This kid sounds like he's a ways away from that.

[Mal]

Yeah, he just sound like he trying to make it to tomorrow. Yeah, he. In the closet. He sound like he trying to make it through the night, man. And we got this voicemail a few days ago, so he might not be with us anymore. Sir, don't say that. If you. Sir, if you are no longer with.

[Rory]

Us, listen, man, that's gonna get us to number 12.

[Mal]

Sorry. Sorry. To Sorry.

[Julian]

Wishing death on our list.

[Mal]

And I'm not wishing death, but he sounds like. He sounds like death was imminent, like he was somewhere hiding. Like you. I fam. I don't think you should be calling us. You should be calling somebody else.

[Rory]

Sounds like he was being hidden by Anne Frank.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, why? That's wild.

[Julian]

I don't know. I. Has he. I wonder if he's spoken to his girlfriend about this, because he made it clear that there's a distinction that she's great, she's cool. It's just her family. That's the one that kind of brings up this, I guess, elephant in the room. I would just be honest with your girl and just tell her, maybe. Have you expressed how it makes you feel or if you feel away? I don't know.

[Rory]

Know outside of Julian, because I know his answer because he, like, went to, like, the O.J. trial. Have you guys ever dated a girl with means or dated a man with means?

[Julian]

I literally was thinking about my. My past experiences with means.

[Mal]

Like a lot of money.

[Julian]

Yeah, like a lot more. I'm talking, like, a lot of money. Right? There was, like, five Mexicans cutting the lawn. I was like, what is going on? Do they live here, too?

[Mal]

Yo, Julian, I swear to God, I know what type of guy. If me and you didn't work together, me and you would definitely be fighting somebody 100%. Like, I know what type of guy you. You are. I get it, bro.

[Julian]

Really? You? Rory, I didn't say anything.

[Mal]

Tell y'all. I keep telling Eden's a hero. I don't know.

[Rory]

Sorry.

[Mal]

I'll be trying to tell y'all. Eden is a hero, man. Eden. Eden Cross. So we could fly. I don't know if y know that or not.

[Julian]

Yeah, look, now we're on the list.

[Mal]

Exactly.

[Julian]

Seems like we found we figured out.

[Rory]

How was that not our memorable moment?

[Mal]

Thank you, Drake and Eden. Listen, 1A and 1B. If you ask me, it is what it is.

[Rory]

It's nice that we can joke about it now.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's all good. It's all love.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Who determined the threshold to joke about you guys? You guys?

[Rory]

Yeah. Our lawyer.
