What do you mean he sent you lullabies? What is a lullaby?
Julian
Like a voice note?
Rory
No, it was me singing lullabies.
Mal
So you sent Damaris you singing a lullaby?
Rory
Yeah.
Mal
Can you tell me why in.
Rory
In 1080?
Mal
First of all, a lullaby. 1080 is crazy.
Rory
Just my face and, like, the photo was really close and the lights were off. Yeah, but in night vision.
Mal
But why did you send Damaris a lullaby?
Rory
I sent her an EP of my friend Lauren who works with child. She did all the strings on my album.
Mal
Okay.
Rory
Really talented. She put out an EP, just an instrumental EP. Oh.
Mal
She got on her 103,000.
Julian
So then you put vocals over it?
Rory
No, I did not. I mean, but there is space if somebody wants to rap over it. You can go check. You can go check it out. Morning light. But it's a good EP to, like, you know, in the morning, start your day or go to sleep.
Mal
Like, just music. Just sound.
Rory
Yeah. I wouldn't classify it as lullabies, but I see where Darius is trying to take it.
Damaris
There's a lullabies.
Mal
You know what I'm starting to do, like, on the wake up, listen to classical music.
Rory
This is actually labeled classical music.
Mal
Really? Oh, wow. I got to check it out.
Damaris
We'll send it to you.
Rory
I mean, I would put it at the top of the episode but you already decided on Born in the usa.
Mal
Yeah, like, we're going to start this episode. Well, we started the episode.
Rory
They already heard Bruce Born in the US they already heard the Boss.
Mal
The Boss, yeah, the Boss, Bruce Springsteen. The marriage says something that kind of triggered a conversation I wanted to bring up, like, okay, minutes ago, I don't remember.
Damaris
I say a lot.
Mal
Oh, he was like, you don't have any guys right now. But question. Can I ask you something? Is it considered a guy if he's, like, sending you money and, like, you accepting it? Like, what if a guy just, like, just sells your cash apps you, like, every month?
Rory
Like, that doesn't mean anything.
Mal
Is that. Is that considered your guy? Like, okay, can you be surprised if he's acting like he's your man? You laughing because he's sending you money. No, that's what.
Rory
That's just a tattoo.
Mal
Women love to be like, I ain't got no. I ain't got. I'm not seeing nobody. And it be a whole dude paying your bills. That's your man.
Rory
I'm going to take the girl side on this. That doesn't make them linked at all. Like, no, that's just a sucker.
Mal
All right, I see where you go.
Rory
It's just a guy that's. That's paying for some shit.
Mal
Okay, I see where you going, cuz.
Rory
He doesn't know any other way to impress a woman.
Mal
All right, so let me go another route. Rory, if you out, hypothetically, you out on dinner, you out on a date with a young lady, okay? And a dude comes in the restaurant, tripping, and he's telling you, like, yo, I'm paying all her bills. I've been paying her bills for the last eight months.
Rory
I probably start laughing.
Mal
No, you. But. But would you be like.
Rory
I look at her like, damn, but.
Mal
Can you understand why he coming in there tripping?
Rory
I. It would depend on the conversations that they had been having. Like, if it was just straight transactional. She has no. He has no right to come.
Mal
Okay, say that's like her ex, quote, unquote. Like, they were together for some years, and now they're like, not really spitting your narrative.
Damaris
He does that a lot.
Rory
He's still.
Mal
All right, I'm spending the narrative. I'm giving him more than you.
Julian
If you're paying your ex's solely financial relationship.
Mal
Not if it's a random guy on Instagram just sending her. No, I'm talking about, like, they have. They. No, that does happen. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about somebody that she was actively in a relationship with at one point.
Rory
No. If y'all broke up, you're just an idiot for still paying her bills. Move the on.
Mal
So she.
Rory
I think it's great because I'm getting and I don't have to pay her bills.
Mal
You are, but she's not. So she's not sending mixed signals by accepting that money every month.
Rory
I don't if there is like a flirtatious relationship or communication that looks like, okay, we're actually gonna be talking or. Or dating, then yes. But if they still communicate, he's like, yo, I'll pay your phone bill, your rent, your electricity. And she didn't even ask him. He just offered. Nah, that's not. At that point. She'd be a whore at that point. It's really. You're just paying for sex.
Damaris
I never answered you. And I don't plan on it. Listen, ladies, get your money.
Mal
Nah, don't get your money. Because then I'm out chilling, thinking you single. Meanwhile, he paying all your bills, and I'm in your crib watching Netflix with you. And he at the front door. He got all right to be the front door. No, that's wild.
Damaris
That's women who do that. That's wild. That's wild. You should never do that.
Mal
Why are you still letting a man pay your bills that you don't want to be with?
Julian
The only way I could see that playing out is say you were dating this guy. My own bills, I don't know, you break up. But he in some point that relationship, say he got you an apartment and say, you know, it's a year lease. You're only four months into that lease. He agreed to pay for it. So maybe if paying bills means we're seeing through this lease, then that's where I would see it make sense.
Rory
True story. When my house was like the jump off spot for like a year, rip, One of my female friends was telling us in the living room, you might have been there that day. She was in a six to eight month relationship. I think at that point. They had talked for like maybe four months before that. So they about a year in. A very famous rapper had been paying her bills for years, was paying her, rented her apartment, and was still doing that while she was currently in this relationship. And I asked her, does he. Does your boyfriend know this? And she said, no, he doesn't pay my rent, so why should he know who pays my rent? I was like, oh, that's cold.
Mal
Nah, that is fucking. That's the danger.
Rory
Not just some dude she fucking, her boyfriend.
Mal
Yeah, that's the danger.
Rory
Sleeps in that house.
Mal
Nah, that's dangerous.
Rory
She used. She used to fuck with the rapper.
Julian
Oh.
Rory
And, you know, on and off for years, anytime he was in New York.
Damaris
He probably don't even know he's still paying it.
Rory
Word. But she said he's still in contact with her. Like, they speak on some friendly shit. They don't fuck anymore. But yeah, he continues to pay her bills. So I guess the boyfriend was just walking around thinking that she's paying her own bills. I have to tell your man.
Damaris
I wouldn't be comfortable with that. I would tell you. Now, I'm not just going to volunteer to have a nigga stop. But I am going to tell you, hey, I'm just letting you know that he does pay the bills here. This is the situation. If you want it to stop, once I see that we're serious enough, I'll have it stop. But.
Rory
But then he would have to pay the bills.
Mal
So can I have my ex?
Julian
Oh, so she doesn't have a job.
Damaris
You can have a job.
Rory
Like, bartends and shit.
Damaris
Respectfully, if a man is laying up in a woman's house regularly, you're laying up regularly. You need to be contributing to that household.
Mal
That's a fact. Like, he's not. He's not even around anymore. Who.
Damaris
Homie that's paying the rent.
Mal
But he still, you know, text you whatever time to time. Y'all still talk on the phone.
Damaris
I don't think that that's.
Mal
But you're in a relationship. You have a new boyfriend.
Damaris
I would never do that. So I can't tell you from that perspective because I.
Rory
But how do you break that news? Like, once you start getting serious with the person. Don't like, yo, this. This extremely famous rapper pays all my.
Damaris
You don't even got to say that he a rapper. Just say what he exes. You don't got to tell him he a rapper, not a. Can't listen to Meek Mill in peace. That ain't fair.
Rory
Don't put that on.
Julian
I don't think anyone listens to Meek Mill in peace.
Damaris
Plenty of people listen. The Meek Miller. Well, in chaos. He can't even listen to Meek Miller in chaos anymore.
Julian
Is an oxymoron.
Mal
Yeah, Meek is. Meek is not a peace. Peaceful person.
Rory
Meek would tweet that he's paying that.
Damaris
I'm not going to lie in the.
Rory
Name of police reform.
Damaris
Meek Mill is really good workout music for sure. Really good workout music. Like running, going on a run to.
Mal
Some meek n. You get everything done.
Damaris
When you listen, you going to beat your best time.
Mal
Look, I done did 12 errands, so is that.
Rory
Is that a question now? You have to ask? When you get serious with someone like, yo, you pay your own bills, right?
Julian
That's an in. I feel like that's.
Rory
That's an insane question.
Julian
That's so insulting to say to someone.
Damaris
I just like, you shouldn't ask me that unless you trying to pay them. Don't ask me who paying my bills if you ain't trying to pay them. Now, if I. I should volunteer that information to you if it is somebody else. But if you're not paying them, don't ask me who paying my bills.
Rory
How would you feel as the guy that's been paying her bills for over a decade? One day she comes to you and was like, yo, no longer do you need to pay for my. I have a man. And he's like, nah, it's my lease.
Mal
My lease, my cat. Remember that video?
Rory
Homie was knowing that rapper, he would probably DM her new boyfriend and tell.
Mal
Him that that's sick. That's why you gotta get your gun license.
Rory
Listen, when she was telling me the story in my living room, I felt a little uncomfortable because I felt figured that her boyfriend would eventually find out and maybe snap. And I just didn't want to be in any proximity. Like, I don't. I didn't want him to know where she was at. Like, I'm not part of this, man. Yeah, kill that rapper.
Mal
That's dangerous, man. That's a dangerous game to play, man. Like you playing on people's like, you know their emotions with stuff like that. Because my girl, my ex, can't still come over and cook, right? Like, why am I. Yeah, but he.
Damaris
Not coming over there.
Mal
He might as well. He paying all the bills here.
Julian
It's his crib that's so different.
Rory
That is definitely.
Damaris
If you pay my. That doesn't make it my crib. If my is in my name, it's my crib. If I can call the cops on you and get you removed, I don't give a what you paying. This is my crib.
Rory
I didn't ask. I didn't ask the right question.
Julian
Not how that works.
Damaris
What the are you. If my house is in my name and you volunteer to give me money for my house, that doesn't make it your house.
Julian
Oh, would it be my.
Mal
Would it be in her? I mean, maybe so.
Rory
That's. I didn't ask on the. Right.
Julian
The only thing that matters if they're.
Mal
Both on the lease, then what?
Damaris
Nigga never being on my lease. Not ever, Ever.
Rory
Okay. But she lived in a very nice spot in Jersey City. You have to show a certain amount of income to get in those type of buildings. So, you know, so if she don't have that income that's in his name, what does.
Damaris
She should have.
Julian
He could have been a guarantor. So her name could theoretically still be on the lease.
Damaris
You shouldn't be. You shouldn't be laying. It might. It probably isn't his name, but you shouldn't have another man laying in the house of that's in the name of another man.
Julian
If it's moving in his name, then you're fucked. Imagine you go to any point and be like, get the fuck out of here.
Rory
Imagine you go to Shorty's career for the first time. She's like, oh, I just got to get my mail in the lobby. And she goes to her little box and it says that rapper's name. Says it's not Meek.
Damaris
Says Shame.
Rory
Shameek Mill.
Mal
What is his name?
Damaris
His name is Shamik.
Rory
Is that.
Julian
She said Robert Ramik Williams.
Mal
Oh, Ramik, Shameik.
Rory
That said M. Mil. I'd be tight like, yo, yo, you sure that's your mailbox? Because that's not your name.
Damaris
M. Mil.
Rory
You know it's a. You know it's a federal offense, right? You can't deal with other people's mail.
Mal
That's hilarious.
Damaris
That is. What made you ask me that, Ma? Are you dealing with that situation right now?
Rory
You. You paying bills?
Julian
Whose bills?
Mal
You paying, the marriage?
Damaris
No. Somebody could be paying her bill. I just asked. You asked me. I just want to know.
Mal
Why would you even. You know better than that. You know me. I think you know me a little better than that.
Damaris
No, I didn't know if, you know, you found out one of your shorties, a. Was paying her bills.
Mal
Never. I mean, not that it would never happen, but that's not. Not saying it would never happen, but. No, that's not.
Rory
I'm sure we've unknowingly dated women that were having their bills paid by somebody else. Oh.
Mal
I mean, if it's not my girl, I don't.
Julian
I mean, this is somebody I'm dating. Like, a lot of girls. You look at their bag and you're like, okay, I get that.
Damaris
Oh, yeah. Cuz women just can't afford to.
Julian
No, because they'll tell their own shit. No. Because they like.
Rory
But why you Got the OVO Jordan exclusive bag that they didn't even sell.
Damaris
You always bringing up ovo. What are the niggas fucked your bitch?
Julian
One of them probably the one.
Damaris
The one that stay bringing up an ovo.
Rory
Probably. But they probably fudge one of your bitches, too.
Damaris
They definitely did. Yeah, probably. Fuck all my niggas.
Rory
You act like that's offensive to me.
Mal
That's hilarious.
Rory
It's like hpv. It comes with everybody. No, not a good example.
Mal
No, definitely.
Rory
But, you know, like, everyone has it.
Mal
I don't know.
Rory
I feel like all everyone comes with.
Julian
I know. I did a blood panel. I'm good. So I don't know what you're talking about.
Damaris
I said a blood panel. I'm good. Shut the up.
Rory
You didn't test positive for OVO on your. Your sheet.
Mal
Hey, yo, you didn't test positive for ovo.
Rory
You know that stuff can get passed. It's sexually transmitted.
Mal
Yo, Julian came in here and said he was playing ball yesterday. Peas was like, yeah, he definitely sets good scre marines.
Rory
He's definitely the guy in pickup. That's like, too annoying on defense. Like, we taking this seriously, but can you calm down for a second? Like, bro, full court press in a. A pickup game. Relax, Julian. Go to half court. I'll meet you over there.
Mal
Julian look like he. He boxed out the three point shooter. Like, if I shoot the three, he boxing me up. Like, yo, dog, like, what you doing, man? Get your ass off my pelvis.
Julian
I am a very annoying defender.
Mal
Like, why are you boxing? I'm at the three point.
Julian
Well, while we were waiting. While we were.
Rory
He definitely follows his shot, too.
Mal
From the three. He shoot the three, then he's at the rim. It's like, yo, why you playing so hard, bro? What's up with you?
Rory
He calls fouls and actually shoots free throws.
Julian
That's sick.
Rory
That's sick.
Mal
Pete said he. He definitely takes offensive files.
Rory
Take it A charge in a hilar.
Mal
Oh, man, Julian, that's definitely your game.
Julian
No, it's not. I. I am working on. I just got a new role developed. I'm working on a bunch of new photos for my invisible lens. 1. The first one I'm gonna post is a basketball photo. That's why.
Rory
Is that a history of where it was invented?
Julian
No.
Mal
I went to the gym in my building last night and I forgot that they. They put the rim higher than 10ft because they was afraid that people would be dunking and hanging on. I don't. I think they think Shaq lives in the Building. I don't know.
Rory
Wait, so you just have a hoop.
Julian
That you have 11 foot rims?
Mal
It's like 11 and a half feet.
Rory
Do people play on.
Mal
There's never nobody in there. I'm like, yo, who was playing on.
Rory
An 11 foot hoop?
Mal
It's stupid, bro. So I went in at a carnival. I forgot. I was like, let me go downstairs and just shoot around a little bit, man. I forgot the rim was higher than.
Damaris
10Ft and you not that tall.
Mal
I took one shot. That shit airball. I don't know where that basket would.
Rory
Have went in though. That shit regulation.
Mal
I shot that shot. I forgot this. I just walked out. I was like, man, I'm not doing this. Like, what is it? 11 and a half foot rim. For what? It's the dummy. And I'm so mad because I'm like, having a gym in your building where you can play ball is fire.
Damaris
Yeah, yeah.
Mal
Can't do nothing with 11 and a half foot remnant.
Rory
That's hilarious.
Mal
I'm not doing nothing. Shot the crazy airball. That ball rolled over. I said, man, that. I'm not going to get that.
Rory
Did anyone watch?
Mal
Huh?
Rory
Anyone watch?
Mal
No, I was in it by myself.
Rory
Did you start like limping away like.
Mal
No, I. I turned around and walked out. I was like, I forgot this rim was 11ft. I was like, I'm out of here. I'm not doing this.
Rory
Anytime you airball, you have to like hold your arm like now you blow.
Mal
Your hand, you know? Yeah, my hands are literally 80 degrees.
Rory
Everyone's sweating.
Mal
It's 89 degrees outside. You blowing your head?
Rory
Yeah, anytime I up and just do one of these. Oh, man.
Mal
Yeah. Old.
Rory
Old injury.
Mal
Yeah. Loosen up the gun a little bit. It's all good.
Rory
I gotta see Julian play basketball now.
Mal
Yeah, I'm gonna play ball with you.
Julian
Hold up, I'm. I play.
Damaris
When? How often do you play?
Julian
Like two, three times a week. It's really just a matter of when. My body's good after recovery because it, it hurts to play now.
Mal
You got to recover.
Julian
Oh, it hurts to play now. I just got a. I popped a knee sleeve yesterday. Played in that for the first time yesterday.
Mal
It was great. Yeah, I need all of that. I'm about to go out there looking like Patrick. You brace knee pads and knee brace every. I need everything.
Rory
Julian's the Grant Hill of the Lower east side. Sturge got a sleeve on a Grant Hill. There's always something wrong.
Mal
Yo, that is hilarious.
Julian
Against a girl for the first time yesterday.
Mal
How was that?
Julian
We Were running threes, and I wasn't guarding her, but, like, a couple switch opportunities. I blocked her a few times.
Mal
Of course you did.
Julian
Yeah. She was nice, though. Like, she wasn't. It wasn't like, oh, there's a girl. Let's, like, give her preferential treatment. She could ball. She played well.
Mal
So I remember one time I played against this girl. She really, like, was going at me, like. I was like, all right. She trying to really embarrass me out here. Like, you know, and then you'd be.
Rory
Like, no, it's a girl. I didn't want to play. Meanwhile, you're playing your heart.
Mal
Meanwhile, I'm huffing, out of breath. I'm winded. I'm like, yo, she. She keep cutting back, though. I'm like, you went to Princeton.
Damaris
What's up with you?
Rory
The court vision.
Mal
Who cuts in street ball? Who does that? Who cuts back door?
Julian
The first play, I got hit on a switch. So I was on her, and then she hit me with, like, a little shimmy, like, nice little fade, like, off the backboard. I was like, man, that I was. I was tight. I was like, there's no way that's happening again. But, nah, she could play.
Mal
I like when I see girls like, like, women playing with, like, guys, like, streetball. I like that.
Rory
The last time I played pickup basketball, this kid was nice. We played, like, three or four games. He was clearly the star. And then when we were done, we were all just chopping it up, and he. His man's like, yeah, not nice, but he's usually better than this. He got shot in the foot yesterday.
Julian
Oh, my God.
Rory
I said. The day before, I said, what? You got shot in the foot?
Mal
Yes.
Rory
He's like, yeah. I was on my bike in Harlem and, like, I caught a ricochet, and it hit me in the foot. I was like, what? Get a cast. Why are you playing?
Mal
Go home.
Rory
Yesterday. Yesterday.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
No, I was hospital all night.
Mal
The game. The game never stops.
Julian
No, that's insane.
Rory
He didn't need.
Mal
It was game never stops.
Julian
There was no game.
Rory
That's why when the whole Meg the Stallion, everyone's like, oh, how could she twerk? I've watched somebody play full court three games the next day after being shot in the foot. It's doable.
Mal
Shout out to Meg. That new song. Was it Yama Sushi? What's her name?
Damaris
Mamushi. Mamushi.
Mal
Mamushi. I can't get away from that song. Every. Everything. You turn on that song.
Damaris
I get money. I'm a star. Stuff. Stuff.
Rory
You think the Big Mama song is a little gaslighting? Pull up the lyrics.
Julian
Damaris has been singing that.
Damaris
It's my. It's my thing.
Rory
It's up there with B side of the summer.
Mal
Yeah, Big Mama, but you this good song.
Damaris
This is one birthday when we were on Discord Live. And shout out to the people who were on our Discord Live with Mall last night. They asked Mall, you know, about different songs of the summer. Obviously, Fisher came up. Obviously not like us came up. But everybody seemed to forget about. It's 7pm Friday. It's 95 degrees. I ain't got no and no ain't got me.
Mal
I don't know if that's song of the summer. It's a dope.
Damaris
It's up there.
Mal
I don't know about song.
Damaris
It's been 95 ever since she said that. Have y'all noticed?
Mal
Not every Friday, though.
Rory
She's the groundhog of.
Damaris
Yeah. Of the Glorilla being the ground.
Mal
She's the groundhog for the summer.
Rory
Look at this gaslighting shit. Stop right there.
Damaris
Okay.
Rory
At the start I told a couple lies. But after that I swear I really tried.
Damaris
Listen.
Rory
Kept it real about my past and I hope. Hope you never thinking otherwise. You just lied to me, right? And then said you kept it real.
Mal
Which is a lie.
Rory
This is a gaslighting song.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
And then at the end of it, she wants to know. What do I get for my birthday?
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Yo, I lied to you like gaslit you.
Mal
But this is.
Rory
Made you feel like it was your fault. So what do I get come my birthday?
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
And then all she. All she asked was for dick. Make me nut and a pink Glock with a drum. It ain't like she asked for a lot, no.
Mal
She said can you please do the most for me?
Damaris
Cause I'm sprung. Can you give me some good dick till I come? Can you make me nut again? Where's your tongue? Can I please get a pink Glock with a drum?
Rory
Those are expensive. Especially after you lied to me. I don't know if I'm gonna give you a gun.
Damaris
She said she told lies in the beginning. We all lie in the beginning.
Mal
Y'all are in the middle, too. In the end. That's not a relationship.
Rory
And then when you tell the story of how everything went. You lie again.
Mal
Yeah, exactly.
Rory
This is a good song, though.
Mal
No, it is a good song. Lotto. Definitely gotta. She got a record with this? For sure.
Damaris
I love that one.
Julian
I was a ver. Here's another lie I was a virgin before I met you, baby. I don't have an ex. That's a lie.
Damaris
How do you know?
Mal
Big lie.
Damaris
Did you her? Did you her?
Julian
She's lying.
Damaris
Did you her?
Julian
Just cause I didn't her doesn't mean someone else.
Damaris
You know somebody else.
Julian
What the hell kind of logic is that?
Damaris
Do you know somebody who fucked her?
Rory
First of all, virgin. Saying give me some good dick till I come is crazy. She doesn't even know what that is.
Julian
All you want is dick and tongue and you're talking about. But I'm a virgin.
Damaris
She said she was a virgin before she met you. She ain't got an ex. That just means she's not talking literally, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's metaphorically.
Julian
It means that it was literally before. We just brought that last gotta go.
Damaris
Behind the bars before your dick. I didn't even know, like, you know what I'm saying? You're the only real man I've ever had, so I don't know. I was a virgin before I met.
Mal
You, the only real man women swear.
Rory
For a woman, sex like that.
Mal
To me, you the only real man I ever had. Yo, cut this. Like, cut it out. Why we got to do this?
Rory
You're a terrible judge of character. And I don't think I should be in this relationship anymore.
Mal
Why we got to play these games, man? Like, we can all just be honest and just have fun. Like, cut the. That's all I'm saying.
Rory
I'm. I'm nitpicking because men rap songs. I don't even want to start on gaslighting, but it's nice to. It's nice to point out, please.
Mal
Oh, my God.
Damaris
Baby D. I'm with you men. Baby D. Rap songs. Your album. We not even going to go there. Your album is butt gas. Like, can you pull up the lyrics to not me, please? Thank you. Let's talk. Let's do lyrical breakdowns.
Mal
I love the record. Me personally, I love the record. What you say me for?
Rory
What trump do?
Mal
That's it. You say me for.
Damaris
Know all my flow.
Mal
That's fire. I bet my demons make it hard to trust me. Well, you know. You know, I've been through some. Don't do that. We had that talk. I've been through some shit.
Damaris
Oh, gaslight. Look at you.
Mal
I'm just saying, I gave you the story.
Damaris
You niggas just pull up and start talking about y'all demons and immediately in a relationship so that every single thing you do afterwards, you can Be like, okay, but I here go Rory. She's throwing shit back in my face. No, she's not. She's addressing your issues.
Rory
No, I out the gate was honest about some of the demons I have so she doesn't have to find them out later on up front. This is who I am. Love me or leave me. And then she takes those and that vulnerable moment puts it in her women diabolical.
Julian
True.
Rory
I'm like the kids now brain that she has and then uses it against me at her leisure when it's convenient to her when she knows she's wrong. Yeah. Add that to rap genius.
Julian
That's the. Actually, the annotation is. That's exactly Verified. Verified annotation.
Rory
Rob Markman verified it.
Damaris
Can't believe I tried to tame you. Can't. No. Hold on.
Rory
You're gaslighting my. My light.
Damaris
Listen. Look how you deny her. Can't believe you tried it. That's why she despised you. But the broken ones always breaking. Can't believe I tried to tame you. Can't believe I tried to save you.
Rory
Sounds like some accountability to me.
Damaris
Heartbreaking. No. How you trying to tame me and save me and you over here telling some all she want to be is Cinderella. I don't have the heart to go and tell her it's not me.
Rory
That was after you were tried to be saved after the taming, I realized you were not.
Damaris
So you kept with me. You kept me even though you knew that you didn't want to be with me.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
Yeah, of course. Yeah. Why would he not you?
Rory
You understand? Oh, we had a breakthrough. Yeah.
Julian
Yeah.
Rory
You've done that now you understand men.
Damaris
Don't put that on my jacket. I haven't done that.
Mal
You've definitely done you someone you don't.
Julian
Want to be with.
Rory
Everyone in this room has done that.
Julian
That's mad common.
Mal
Some of the best sex ever, actually, if we're being honest. How honest? How honest are we being right now? That's some of the best sex you're gonna ever have.
Rory
That's why you continue to with her when you know you weren't.
Julian
Love sex. That's fire.
Mal
When you know we shouldn't be doing.
Damaris
This, you don't shut the.
Julian
That's what that is.
Damaris
Get him away from me.
Mal
That liar sex be good.
Rory
Yeah, it is good.
Mal
That liar said. Was she a liar? Oh, that.
Rory
Oh, and then when everyone finds out the lies like the makeup sex. Hey, man. Broken ones always breaking.
Mal
Raheem was singing that. What? He was singing the top of his lungs. He was singing the out that he met.
Rory
Every word of that, that was internalized, that wasn't on the paper, that just spilled out.
Mal
You know, sometimes you leave the recording studio door open and just let God in. You know what I'm saying? I just. Just let God in. He'll do the rest.
Rory
We really let Jay Z get that line off fire.
Mal
They. They said, but you understood what he. You understood what he meant, though.
Rory
Who said it? He said, yo, they say. They say just crack the studio door to let God in.
Mal
Let God in.
Rory
Who says that?
Damaris
Who is they?
Rory
Just mall.
Mal
You know when you have. I definitely didn't know what you got. You know the type of record when it's like, damn, somebody wrote this and somebody actually performed this song. Like, that's crazy.
Damaris
Niggas in Paris.
Rory
Some songs are written, some are gifted by higher power. You were gifted that you were used as a vessel. You didn't even know that your hand was doing.
Mal
I don't even remember doing it.
Damaris
God was nowhere in that student.
Rory
I blacked out, and then I got a mixed record. It was weird, yo.
Damaris
God was nowhere near that record. It was nowhere near that one. You wrote about cheating, too, actually. I want everybody to go through Rory's. Go through Rory's discography. It ain't but one disc. And really go through.
Mal
Yo, yo, I can't let you do that.
Rory
That's crazy.
Mal
Yeah, that's crazy to throw that out there like that. It's one disc. That's crazy. Don't do that. Don't do that. It's only one disc.
Rory
Nah, but there's a vinyl, too.
Damaris
Oh, okay. Go through that shit and look at all the text.
Rory
How many panels are in the vinyl?
Damaris
He wants about toxicity.
Rory
What's toxic?
Julian
I mean, a lot of these tracks are pretty toxic.
Rory
Yeah, they are.
Mal
Great album, though.
Rory
My Phone can die.
Julian
My Phone Can Die is toxic.
Rory
No, it's not.
Julian
No, no, sorry. That's the one. I want you but you'll never know it's toxic oh, that's toxic as. Yeah.
Damaris
Why you let your phone die when you with another. What's the truth? Why you let your phone die when you with another.
Mal
I'm so caught up in the moment, I ain't even realized. Yeah, I didn't even realize.
Rory
I got the new phone with the chargers, like the MacBook, and she only had the. The older phone, so I couldn't even. You know how that goes.
Julian
Sometimes they die.
Mal
Sometimes you got to let the phone die. We don't need no distractions.
Damaris
I know.
Mal
We don't need no distractions I want.
Damaris
You but you'll never know.
Rory
That's romantic.
Damaris
No. Click it. Please scroll down to Chantel's verse. I mean, not Chantel.
Julian
Alex. Isley.
Rory
No.
Damaris
What did my baby say? I don't mean to bother working if.
Rory
You need some lines. This.
Julian
This is a.
Damaris
That's a. I don't mean to bother, but I needed to call you. I don't care. You're with her. I guess I'll try back to tomorrow. Can't help that I miss you. Ask her what's the issue with sharing your heart, your body parts, and your mental?
Rory
What's the issue?
Julian
Because then she knows she's a piece of. Because she says, because I'm feeling nasty.
Damaris
I'll drive to you I'll remember your street like you have a girlfriend. Extra girlfriend. Can I shear you? That's toxic. And by the way, Alex didn't write that. You did. Being able to be toxic from a male's perspective and a female.
Rory
She delivered it, though.
Damaris
You. A different kind of.
Mal
But she delivered.
Rory
Drum was there, too.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
Just throwing him. He was there.
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
Just drinking soda like he wasn't even.
Julian
Yeah. He has nothing to do smoking a pound of weed.
Mal
Like, all right, Baby D. This. This gummy kicking in now.
Damaris
It is.
Rory
I'm so glad I didn't eat. I'm gonna eat one of the gummies after Cod because I'd be scared because I'm not, like, a weed person.
Damaris
I forced Ma to have a gummy for this episode.
Rory
Guys, speaking of albums and toxicity, I hope Big Sean disses everybody on his album. I know he's on, like, Poor Baby, the Mental Health kick. And him and Janae are, like, sleeping Ayahuasca tanks with their children. But I just. I kind of want Sean to get on his.
Mal
So who tweeted that since he want to disrespect Yay so much, here's the album. Him and his whole team. Precision is on the album, just not in these files. This was the album as of a couple months ago, features Nas, Dream, Janae and some other people. Alternate album title, Better Me than you.
Rory
So the background here is Sean went on. On the radar to do a freestyle, and people were speculating that he was dissing Yay, which it was sort of obvious, but I don't think he was trying to hide it. Then he also was on IG Live playing some of his songs, and he played one record that was produced by Ye. And I guess after the freestyle, the Kanye west stands weren't really feeling it. So somehow they got a hold of a rough version of his album and leaked it. And album leaks are album leaks. They've been going on forever. I've downloaded them. I'm not going to play holier than thou. Like, it's up. It's up. I just think the reason things are being leaked is more up than it used to be. Before, it was like you'd have bloggers trying to get the exclusive. Fans were just excited to hear shit. It was still fucked up, don't get me wrong. But the intention was for love of music when they were fucking over artists. These new stands are trying to fuck with people's livelihood just because they're a stand of the artists that the other artist doesn't like. To me, that's. That's crazy. Yeah, but what if we all went to your job and fudge your whole life up, right? All in the name of someone else who doesn't even care if we live or die.
Mal
But is it. Can it can't. Can't Sean take legal action for that, though? Like, probably they tweeted like that, like, yo, here goes the album. Like, so you're tweeting that you're leaking my album?
Rory
So then rumors continue to go on that Kanye told these fans to do it. And I could see Kanye having access to some of the roughs on Sean's album.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
So there is a theory that Kanye gave it to his crazy fan base to go leak. We don't know that to be true, but that's just what insiders were saying. But just.
Julian
I mean, the second message said, quote.
Mal
When was the album supposed to come out initially?
Rory
I think around the time of the Kendrick and Drake beef, and Sean probably chilled.
Mal
Oh, well, everybody chilled.
Rory
Yeah, rightfully so.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
He's putting out a record today with Alchemist, so I assume that the album will be out relatively soon.
Julian
He said he's pushing it up. He said, if y'all are going to leak it, fuck it. Let me just begin my rollout. Yeah, so he teased shortly after the leaks and all that this snippet from a music video, it sounds good.
Rory
Yeah, we won't play it because we just keep getting demonetized. But they didn't say the track title. But the time you're hearing this, it's on streaming. I'm excited for Sean. Always love Sean. Seems like he can't really catch a break. A lot of people are saying, for getting a big Sean album, thank God, because Kendrick will drop the same day. But I think Sean has Talked about that. They. They settled their beef. It was a miscommunication. I don't think they're still beefing. He didn't diss Kendrick in that. On the radar freestyle. I think all the shots were at ye, but, like, why do Kanye west fans hate Big Sean? He stuck around way longer and supported way longer than he really needed to.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
And never really said anything foul about Kanye. And then Kanye goes on drink champs and starts shitting on him for no fucking reason.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
After he said, yo, I'm gonna go get Big Sean his masters back, and never did. So Sean is not a bad guy in the situation unless there was something behind the scenes we don't know about. But I don't see Sean really doing anything foul to Kanye West.
Mal
Yeah. I don't. And Big Sean doesn't even have that type of energy with him that he's, like, a foul person. He don't even have that. Like, you don't even really hear about Big Sean or see him, like, in any blogs or crazy shit. Like, you see him when him and Janaya are going to get a smoothie together or something. Yeah.
Rory
Being good parents.
Mal
Yeah. And then you. You'll see him when, like, he's in the gym, and then you'll see him when it's time for him to put out some music. Like, you don't really. Big Sean doesn't have, like, a lot of shit, a lot of bullshit around him.
Rory
He stays out the way. I feel like Kanye's psychotic fans have other enemies that they can focus on. I don't think trying to fuck with Sean's rollout or livelihood is the best move for your aura, because I feel like Janae is gonna put some crazy voodoo curses on all of you.
Mal
No.
Rory
I'd be telling anyone that does bad by Sean. I would be very scared for you.
Mal
No, it's not voodoo. I think. I think Janae is gonna pray that awful things happen. I know that everybody is just, you know, everybody is healed through this, through this situation, and everybody finds peace.
Rory
Let the energy deal with it. Yeah.
Mal
Like, just let the. It's karma. It's just gonna come around, and we gotta kind of just avoid those type of people, but.
Rory
Because when was the last Big Sean album? It's been. Detroit two was years ago. Right.
Julian
That was the Last 1. Detroit 2 is 2020.
Mal
So.
Rory
Yeah, it's four years, and you're finally ready to gear up and put an album out, and then some fucking idiot on the Internet leaks the shit you've been working on for Years. Yeah, it's fucked up. And I listen, as a consumer, I've been part of the problem, but has it. I've never leaked anyone shit, but I've definitely clicked the leak.
Mal
But as of right now, while we're recording, nothing is leaked, though?
Rory
No, a good majority leaked yesterday.
Mal
Oh, it did?
Rory
There was like, unfinished verses, a few open verses, but yeah, about 14 or 15 tracks. Like, numbered, everything.
Mal
Wow.
Rory
Yeah, it's up.
Mal
But, well, we got to still make sure that we support Big Sean when the album drops. Please, Jesus, download his music, stream it, do whatever you got to do to support Big Sean. I like Big Sean. He's somebody that is hard to.
Rory
Dealing with leaks, especially in the streaming era, is like, man, what the fuck are we doing? I mean, listen, you stabbed on after he leaked Volume three.
Mal
I didn't know anything, so I don't know what you're talking about. Yo, white boy put the knife right in my hand. That's crazy how he did that.
Rory
He said on Vlad. What? This is a new news.
Mal
I said that on Vlad?
Rory
No, under.
Mal
Oh, that.
Rory
I said someone else did. That was, like, cool with Jay was. It just leaves you.
Mal
Why you put the knife in my head on a platform. What was you.
Rory
What was you doing at the Kit Kat Club with a knife? More.
Mal
I was. I was so young. I probably was 5th 16 when that happened. I was a kid. I don't know what the hell I was doing when that happened.
Rory
I.
Mal
All right.
Rory
It's alleged if Jay did it or not. I was joking. But I think that's an okay result. If you leak my album.
Mal
Oh, yeah.
Rory
And I stab you. I think that's justice. No.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
You didn't kill him. You leaked my album.
Mal
Now we both leaking.
Rory
I told you he did it. Yo, that was a catchphrase.
Mal
He said, yeah, now we both leaking. My arm leaking and your stomach leaking. Yeah. Now what?
Rory
Stabbing someone at Q Tip's party is crazy.
Mal
Wow. Wasn't that at. What was that at? What's that club right there off the west side now? Terminal five. I think that was a terminal five.
Rory
Oh, really?
Mal
I think so. That is terminal five, right. Right off the. Yeah, off the west side. Yeah, I think. I think that was Terminal 5.
Rory
I think that's a concert venue now, but back then. Okay.
Mal
Got a club. It was a club. I think that's what happened. It's crazy when you drive past certain blocks and buildings in New York and you remember when it used to be, like, certain nightclubs and you start thinking about all the. That happen like, it's insane. Like, how the city has just completely changed.
Rory
I walked past the shine shooting door every day on my way to work. Like, oh, yeah, this was crazy. At one point.
Mal
Wow. Speaking of leaked.
Rory
This wasn't leaked. They called the paparazzi for this one.
Mal
Oh, this wasn't a leaked photo.
Julian
I mean, this was just taken of.
Mal
Her leaving a valet paying for a parking.
Rory
To me, it's not a leak if you are walking around with a see through shirt at valet.
Mal
All right, seriously, like, let's have a real conversation. What is. What is. What is going on? Because I remember Kanye not being happy with the way Kim was dressing at one point.
Damaris
Yeah.
Mal
And they was arguing about that.
Rory
True.
Mal
And now he's married in another relationship, obviously, to Bianca Censori. Is the last name.
Julian
I don't know.
Mal
I don't know how to pronounce the last name. But she has been wearing, like, some interesting pieces. I thought one time she had little to nothing on. And now she has again, little to nothing on. I don't understand what this is. Like, can somebody maybe explain to me. I don't think this is. Any man should want his wife outside like this.
Julian
Well, looks like a stock.
Rory
When God brings you into the world, you are naked.
Mal
Yeah, true. But when you in the world walking.
Rory
Around, also, if you think about the image of Christ on the cross, he's wearing little to nothing. Matter of fact, it's very similar to what this woman has on right here. Yeah, just a little. Just a little cover.
Mal
He had an army hat on here.
Julian
Well, God was an American. I think that goes without saying.
Rory
You could definitely see up Jesus's little robe thing if he was up on the cross. Like, just that little ass sheet. And they're all staring at, like, you're. You're gonna see Christ balls.
Mal
But your mind went to that. It's crazy, but it's all right.
Rory
Listen, man, I was in. I don't.
Mal
I don't understand what this is. Damaris, you being the only female representative in the room. Like, is this. Tell us how do you feel about. Is this. Do you feel like this is, like, acceptable? Do you feel like this is cool? Do you feel like this is sexy? Do you feel like this is, like. What does another woman feel about a woman?
Damaris
Like, it's a humiliation ritual.
Mal
Okay.
Rory
I like it.
Julian
Put that hat on a counterpoint.
Damaris
Okay.
Julian
I think she's. She gets. She's a victim. Because of what?
Damaris
No shit.
Julian
Her fat tits make it really difficult for her to get this kind of look off there's. Mad girls out there with tiny little a cup like half a titty and they wear the same shit but no one says anything because their boobs aren't gargantuous.
Rory
Okay?
Julian
Her is this similar heel is the fact that she just has these warlocks on her chest. She can't be subtle about that.
Rory
Warlocks.
Damaris
He's so white.
Mal
Wait, hold on.
Damaris
He said tits.
Mal
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Julian
She's got two jugs, man. Two watermelons sitting on her chest.
Mal
Warlocks.
Julian
You feel me though?
Rory
No fun bags, bro.
Mal
What is.
Julian
But you know what I'm saying. It's like the. The guy. It's not the guy. It's like the. There's so many girls. We live in New York. No chicks wear bras. Every girl shirt see through. Yeah, but even if it has all the time. But it's like a respectable b. Cop. A cop.
Rory
It's cute.
Julian
They're so teeny. Just because she has massive tits makes it an issue.
Rory
Well, no, I don't think it's an issue at all.
Julian
You can. I definitely don't think it's an issue.
Rory
My thing is don't go to Staples Center.
Damaris
Women rules is this.
Julian
She looks like she's coming out of a haul truck. What is that?
Damaris
You cannot show the nipple and the boob. If you're going to show the nipple, you have to have something that's covering it. The color of the nipple can't be showing. The form of the nipple can show, but the color of the nipple cannot show.
Mal
Listen, we've seen. We've seen women wear clothing that is kind of like see through. And you can kind of see her like. I remember you could probably pull up. India Love wore something to.
Damaris
Of course.
Mal
You remember Coachella one year. No, I remember that she wore like a top to Coachella. It was like a see through top.
Rory
But that's all over.
Mal
But. But it was like. It wasn't. Yeah, I guess it was see through, but it wasn't like. This is like a clear.
Rory
Can you pull up the uncensored one, Julian? Just for, you know, research purposes.
Julian
Yeah, true.
Damaris
I mean I get free the nipple. But like why are you half naked? Why are you naked? Not half. Why are you naked in my Starbucks?
Rory
Because.
Damaris
Well, not Starbucks. Latte place, you said.
Mal
I don't know. Just as a married woman own. I think it's just as a.
Damaris
But if everyone.
Julian
Maybe it's because you get a full body. A tan. There's no tan lines.
Rory
Never thought of it.
Julian
Even think about that we need a drummer yesterday.
Mal
Really? Him took a toll on him. You might be concussed.
Julian
I didn't take a charge.
Damaris
Like, look what you have it on on the production document.
Mal
Bianca's fat heavy in la.
Rory
You just fat heavies. Is the funny fat heavies.
Mal
Warlocks like, yo, where you from again? Schenectady. Oh, my God, look at her.
Rory
Game of Thrones, bro.
Mal
Yeah. This is crazy.
Julian
What?
Rory
I don't know.
Damaris
That's how you. Rory don't even know how to be white.
Mal
Look at him. Look at him. Yeah, Rory gotta try to be white.
Rory
Isn't there Warlock.
Mal
Meanwhile, Julian got it in autopilot. It's just like, I'm just white, bro. Like what? Rory gotta try to be white.
Julian
Look at her. Game of Thrones.
Rory
All right, and important news. Why? Why did mall cancel Schoolboy Q's show in Toronto?
Mal
Yo, why throwing me in any of this? I found out about this when you found out about this.
Rory
Yeah, yeah.
Julian
All right.
Rory
You made that call.
Mal
First of all, shout out to you.
Rory
I see the hat you wearing. Trying to throw us off.
Mal
No, it's for Bronnie. You got his win. You know, support Bronnie.
Rory
That's not why you put that out.
Mal
Yeah, gotta support Bronnie, man. So Schoolboy Q had a show in Toronto. Canceled. The Canadian piece stopped him from performing. And I just want to know why. Is cute surprised?
Rory
I'd be surprised.
Mal
No, you would not. Man. Cut it out. Westbrook might not even be allowed to play in Toronto. Wait till y'all get that memo that Westbrook can't get through the border.
Rory
Rose definitely can't.
Mal
Oh, no. It's over them. Can't cross the border.
Rory
Well, Schoolboy Q went on it. I don't want to call it Twitter rant, but was explaining what was going on. Said that he could not perform because of the police. And he was confused because Party Next Door was just in la. No one did to Party Top. Was just with Wayne and baby. Which I do want to talk about after this, because that's crazy that he told the world that.
Damaris
Yeah, it was wild.
Rory
But listen, all the gloves are off if you're canceling my shows in Toronto, but do we think Drake is behind us?
Julian
Yeah. I will say yes, because allegedly, the. The venue that he was performing at is. This is their. A screenshot of their Instagram page. Toronto's newest live entertainment venue, brought to you by Live Nation Ontario in collaboration with Champagne Poppy. Okay, so seems like Drake is involved. I'm gonna look to the venue Who.
Rory
Q was signed to. As far as booking agents, like, go. Go find a different venue at least.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
I don't think Drake should be canceling shows. I think it's up. But I get it. They're in a beef. He's connected to Kendrick. He was in the video. Cool. But why would anyone. Uta, caa, whoever the Go. Yeah, we should book Q at the Champagne Poppy venue in Toronto.
Mal
Beautiful venue. The acoustics are amazing.
Rory
Why would you do that?
Mal
Yeah, they didn't think that one.
Damaris
They weren't. I don't even think. They might not have known, though.
Mal
That's a problem.
Damaris
Yeah.
Mal
You should know exactly where you're sending your artists. Who owns the venue. If you're routing, who's making money from the show. You should absolutely know that. As. As a schoolboy Q management or agent. You should definitely.
Damaris
Yeah.
Rory
I mean, but don't you think it'd be a better move by Drake to let the show happen and then. Because Drake posts everything on IG Story, even the sewage in his closet to post the return. He got on Q show.
Damaris
That would have eight.
Rory
Like, to me, that would be way more fly than canceling a show. Like. Like, remember when 50 Cent was promoting doctor's Advocate after the game fallout because he still had a percentage. He was walking around wearing Doctor's Advocate out now shirts like go buy games album because I make money off of it. To me, that would be cooler than just canceling his show.
Damaris
But I'm sure that Drake. That wasn't. I doubt Drake. I think Drake heard about this the same way all of us heard about it. Drake has a humongous team. He's such a big artist. Like, he's not managing that fucking venue. And the people that are managing have managers that have managers that answer the Drake. So he. They probably just knew, like, oh, somebody from cde. Fuck no. Like, we're not doing this. Let's end that. They probably didn't even consult Drake about it.
Mal
Well, the.
Rory
The rumor was that the cops thought something else was going to happen. If you guys remember when Pusha T performed in Toronto.
Damaris
Yeah.
Rory
Left somebody in critical. That was. That was.
Mal
That was. That was. Yes, I get it. I understand that. That did happen. That's a real thing. So that is a concern for the police and, you know, the city. They want to make sure if they having events and stuff that everybody is safe. But this is just a little different from that because Q is not directly beefing or going back and forth with Drake or. But he's affiliated because, you know, He's Kendrick's homeboy. And their tde, you know, that's family. But it's a little different than the push. The pusha thing was a direct person that was going, you know, in a beef with Drake. This is by way of affiliation to type of situation. I do think that Drake knew about the show. I'm not sure if Drake called for it to be canceled, though. I think the police probably, you know, thought about it and was like, nah. You know how fans are. You know, somebody might just try something just for clout, and we don't want that on us. So I do think both things are true. Drake knew about the show, he knew about the book, and he knew Q was gonna be in Toronto for a show. I'm not sure if I can comfortably say, nah, Drake had it shut down. Because I. I do know how the police sometimes will step in, no matter who owns the venue or whatever. It's like, nah, we not. We're not doing that.
Rory
Are the. Are the police shutting down a Kendrick Lamar show in Toronto?
Mal
Kendrick is not booking a show in Toronto.
Rory
Hypothetically, Absolutely. I don't think so.
Mal
Q show just got shut down.
Rory
I don't. I cannot see the cops shutting down a Kendrick Lamar show at an arena in Toronto. I just can't see it.
Mal
Yo, what's wrong? How. First you don't think Not Like Us is on his album, and now you think that if he books a show in Toronto, the police won't shut it.
Rory
Down when he puts Al Maddo tour? You don't think he's gonna stop in Toronto?
Mal
No, he's not stopping in Toronto.
Rory
You are crazy if you think Kendrick Lamar is not stopping in Toronto at his next door. And you're crazy if Drake's not stopping in la, it is next door.
Mal
You. Wait, you.
Damaris
I don't think that's. That's.
Rory
Drake perform in Philly at the height of the meek shit.
Damaris
That's.
Mal
It's a different. It's a different. It's a difference.
Rory
What? Dream chases are way scarier. What are you talking about?
Mal
You think that. Wait, all right, so let me just be clear before I respond. You think that. First of all, do you think that Kendrick Lamar is booking a show until, like, he's even thinking about booking a show in Toronto?
Rory
I think he's probably focused on the album and tour will come after that. And when he focuses on it, I think he will 100% do a Toronto show. Toronto is a huge market.
Mal
Yes. I just don't know if it's.
Rory
That's like skipping Atlanta. You don't. It's like skipping Chicago.
Mal
Nah, it's different.
Rory
Don't.
Mal
This is different, though. This is different, though.
Damaris
I don't. I don't think either of them will do the. I think Drake will book a LA show. Of course he will. I don't think that Kendrick is booking it. And that's not me saying that Kendrick or his team is afraid of Drake or anything like that. I just don't think.
Rory
Okay. Why? I also think there's a difference between Schoolboy Q and Kendrick, I would say. What's the size of the venue that Q was doing?
Damaris
We'll look it up.
Rory
Right now, Q is a bit more accessible than Kendrick Lamar doing an arena show in Toronto where regardless of this Drake thing or not, would have police escort from hotel to venue. It's not really a liability. You think someone's going to get on the stage at the arena show for Kendrick Lamar.
Mal
So it's a.
Rory
It's a little. I can see the Q1 because it's more of an intimate spot. People can hop on stage. Probably a similar size of what Pusha T did. Q doesn't have police escort. He's more accessible. So I can see there being a higher risk for Q. And that's no disrespect to Q. It's just he's more in the open.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
He moves differently, less insulated than Kendrick Lamar.
Julian
The venue is 2,500.
Mal
Yeah. Nice size venue.
Rory
Yeah. That's great.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Awesome. But that's not going to be the same protection that Kendrick would have with or without this beef in Toronto. He's getting in a police escort all the way to that arena.
Mal
We may have just bumped into a really good debate.
Rory
Okay.
Mal
Because I can 100% see Drake booking a show at Crypto, of course. Selling it out for sure. People enjoying it. I don't know if Kendrick is booking the show at the Scotiabank arena and people not showing up to just boo him. Like, I don't think Drake gets booed in LA at the crypto at his show. I can 100% see Kendrick getting booed all night at a Scotiabank arena show.
Rory
It's no secret that Toronto loves Drake. I would never debate that. And I think there's a large group of people that would buy tickets to go boo Kendrick Lamar.
Mal
See, I agree with you there.
Rory
But you also have to think that Kendrick Lamar for the last decade has built a pretty substantial Toronto market and Canada market that are just Kendrick Lamar fans and want to go see him perform.
Mal
You missing what I'm saying? Okay, so let me explain like this. I think that Drake will do a show in la. While people in LA may not. They'll boo him, but I think it'll be a lot of people there that will definitely support Drake. I don't think I could say the same as far as Kendrick going to Toronto. I think everybody that goes to a Kendrick show in Toronto is going there strictly to try to ruin his show. What, and boo him? I think so.
Rory
I think there would be people that would do that, but not.
Mal
Drake is the biggest export out of Canada.
Rory
Probably Tim Hortons would like a word.
Mal
Well, second, maybe. No maybe. Third, the Maple Leafs is probably. But after that.
Rory
Kendrick is not the Wayne Gretzky, Jim Carrey.
Mal
Kendrick is not the third biggest export.
Rory
Out of thieves, bro, like you, Seth Rogen.
Mal
Kendrick is not the third biggest export out of la. He's not.
Rory
Yeah, cocaine is.
Mal
I'm just saying he's not. So I just. I think that this is where this is interesting because I do think if Drake announced a show in Crypto, right now, it sells out.
Rory
I think you're just underestimating the amount of just regular rat fans that would want to go see a Kendrick Lamar show. Because at this point now we're arguing who would buy the tickets quicker because it's selling out regardless, of course. But which group is going to sell it out is really the debate. I guess at this point, cuz, there's a large group of people.
Mal
Let's see it. Both of you niggas book a show. Kendrick, book a show in Toronto. Drake, book a show at the Crypto and let's goddamn see what happens. Fuck it. Give it to those. Let's see.
Rory
I don't even like the way you're wording it.
Mal
Why?
Rory
Now you're baiting people. See, I told you he had the knife.
Mal
No, I wanna. I wanna see it.
Damaris
Snitching. Are you good, bro?
Mal
I wanna. No, I really wanna see. I really wanna see if I'm. I'm willing to. I just want to see what happens, like prove me wrong. But I just think that a show in Toronto right now for Kendrick is different from a show in LA for Drake. I think it's different. I think the response.
Rory
Yeah. Oh no, I think it's. I don't disagree with you there that it is different, but I just think you're underestimating how many Kendrick fans are.
Mal
In the greater Toronto area. Kendrick is one of the biggest rappers that we've ever seen. Ever had I get that. But I just think that this is very different when you talk about having to go to Toronto versus having to go to la, especially when you talk about the star power of Drake versus the star power of Kendrick.
Rory
I get it.
Mal
I just. I just think Toronto. I just think Canada just holds it differently than LA holds Kendrick right now.
Rory
Do you think Q should be. Well, we don't know if he's upset, because you never know people's tone on Twitter. Should Q be upset about this and take it personal?
Mal
Well, yeah.
Rory
Does that cross. Does that cross the line A bit. You take it personal livelihood. Now, if you want to take it there, we could go further.
Mal
You got to take it personal because it's a person. It's a personal reason why it was canceled. It wasn't an artistic reason why it was canceled. It wasn't like Q couldn't sell tickets or, you know, any of that. It was canceled for personal concerns and safety and things like that. So, yeah, you take that. You gotta take that personal. But take it personal with who? I don't know if he has to take it personal with Drake. I'm not sure if Drake and him may have spoken by now on some, you know, channels away from social media to clear it up or whatever and just, you know, talk about it.
Rory
I can't see Drake talking to him. You were in a video that's about me being a pedophile, and you look really cool in it.
Mal
Well, this is. Well, this is why I'm saying it's. I would want.
Damaris
Really cool.
Mal
This is why I said I would want to see such a cool shot.
Rory
Of all of them.
Mal
This is why I said I would want to see Kendrick book a show in Toronto versus la. Drake in la.
Rory
What do you think the validity of Top hanging out with Birdman and Wayne last week is.
Mal
What was it, essence they probably was at?
Rory
I would assume so.
Damaris
Yeah.
Rory
Birdman was there.
Mal
Yeah. I mean, once you, Baby and Top and, you know, Dwayne, I think that it's, you know, while, yes, we are all, you know, affiliated with this thing because we all have affiliations and alignments with these artists and these guys that are going at it right now. I just think when you sitting in the position that Top and. And Baby and Wayne are, it's kind of like, you know, you watching the players on the court. Y'all are not really active. Y'all are not playing.
Rory
I'm feeling away. Similar to the Q thing.
Mal
If you're who.
Rory
If I'm Drake, I'm feeling away. That Wayne and Baby are hanging out with Top. Top was in a video about me being a pedophile. Looking really cool.
Mal
Oh, yeah. No, I. No, I. Drake, yes. I think he would feel away.
Rory
They shot it in his neighborhood.
Mal
I also know that Drake didn't find out about them being together last night when we did.
Rory
Oh, I don't know. But you're. I mean, I'm sure. I'm sure. Of course I'm sure he was privy to it.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
But if I'm Drake, I'm feeling away. Like, why are you with someone that was in a video about me being touching children?
Damaris
But sometimes n don't really be with niggas. And I'm not even just. I'm just talking about.
Rory
Yeah, they could have just passed each other.
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
Like, somebody might see us in the same room together. Like, they did you with that one man, and then suddenly they together. We not together. I didn't speak to this person. We just at the same event. Like, I hate when people say that.
Rory
Yeah.
Damaris
I was not with that nigga. We were in the same room at the same time.
Mal
Yeah. But I ain't gonna lie, though, if I'm entrenched or something like that. And they putting that on my jacket. And my mentor sees, like, the CEO from the other side, and I find that my mentor ain't really, like, make it shake a little bit. Like, the room ain't really, like, the energy ain't get a little tense. I might feel away.
Rory
Especially when my enemy screamed on a record. Top, what the. They think they talking about?
Mal
Yeah, Like, I could just. And again, they probably Wayne and. And. And Top, and, you know, baby, they. I'm sure if they were together and saw each other, I'm sure they spoke. I'm sure they had a conversation. So we just. We just guessing what was happening. But I could definitely see Drake. I could see him feeling away. I don't know how much of a way, though, with Wayne. Like, I don't know how much, because it's like, what you want Wayne to do to Top? Honestly? Like, you want him to curse him out. You want him to fucking, like, throw something at him. You want him to like, what you. You know what I'm saying? It's like, what you want Wayne to do?
Rory
If they are, of course, that Essence Festival is business. If they pass each other. Yo, until they resolve this, it's probably better we don't speak.
Mal
Yeah. Like, if I'm Wayne, I might look at Top and be like, yo, what your man did is corny. Like, that's That's.
Rory
Can't do it. No disrespect. We're not gonna do anything here. Where.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Since just. We can't with each other.
Mal
We ain't gotta. First of all, ain't fighting like Wayne and Top and Baby ain't. Yeah.
Rory
N't fight.
Mal
That would have been. That would have been. I'd have been like, yo, listen, I'm listening to Mozart for the rest of my. I'm not listening to no hip. Cause that's just corn.
Rory
I respect it. If Baby was tussling backstage.
Mal
Nah, hell no. I don't want to see that shit. But I do think that Wayne and Baby probably had to say something along the lines of, yo, what your boy did was. You know, that's trash, bro. Like, putting that on somebody's jacket. Like, we don't play with that. You can't throw that around like that and start dancing to it like, that's not what that is.
Rory
But you start dancing to it.
Mal
Yeah. Like, you don't. You don't say, hey, pedophile. Crip walk. Crip walk. Like, nigga what?
Damaris
Crip walk. Crip walk is fucking hilarious.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
It's like, wait, is that the TikTok dance? Is that.
Mal
I don't know, but it feels like it. It's like, wait, y'all are dancing to that? Like, that's. That's just the thing that I don't understand. That's what I'm telling you. Years from now, people are gonna look back at this moment and realize how wild people look dancing to this type of. These type of words.
Rory
Did your man sub Q last night by posting a photo and some blue slides? Because I thought he did.
Mal
Who? Who? I don't even know what you talking about.
Rory
Drake, last night, after this whole thing happened with Q posted a photo on his IG story. He's not wearing blue slides, per se, but, you know, I thought it was a little ironic.
Mal
Oh, so you reaching. Ok, let's see the reach.
Rory
Blue slides.
Julian
The free AO shirt probably says more than the slides.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
What is. What is the free Yayo? Yale's free, by the way.
Julian
Well, people are saying. I think it was for Eminem. There were people saying Drake's wearing the same shirt Eminem Wore in some 8 mile thing or something like that.
Rory
No, no, it was things. The VMAs when Yayo was locked up.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
And won an award and had a free age.
Mal
I don't know. I'm not here to pick apart.
Rory
No, it's just the culture.
Mal
We gotta Yeah, I don't know, man. Drake just thought he had it.
Julian
You like the kissy face?
Damaris
His closet got flooded. He didn't have shit else to wear.
Mal
Laundry day. It's laundry day.
Rory
So what? I mean, the left foot is in front of the right. What does that mean?
Julian
If I posted a photo like this mall, what would you say if I made this. I feel like you have the same face that I. That he's making here with the kissy lips.
Mal
What would I say to you? Yeah, I say to you every day.
Rory
You wouldn't say to him?
Julian
No.
Mal
It's a difference.
Julian
No. Okay, cool.
Damaris
Did y'all know Ariana Grande got Monica and Brandy together to do A Boy Is Mine remix? I just wish it would have just been them, though. Without Ariana Grande.
Rory
Yeah.
Mal
Why?
Rory
That was like, when Logic got all the Wu Tang together. It's just like. It's like, yeah, Wu Tang. Yeah.
Mal
It's different. Ariana could really sing her ass off.
Damaris
Logic, that's fine.
Mal
But we can't rap with them. He can't rap with the Wu Tang Clan is what I'm saying.
Rory
That's better.
Damaris
Ariana can't sing with Monica and Brandi. She can sing.
Mal
What?
Damaris
She can't sing with Ariana. What? With Brandy.
Rory
Are you sick?
Damaris
Okay.
Mal
You're sick. Okay, you need a job. Monitor.
Damaris
Okay.
Mal
You need a thermometer. Ariana Grande can't sing with Monica and Brandy.
Damaris
She can sing.
Rory
She's one of the few people that can sing with them, I think.
Damaris
No, she cannot. That's okay.
Mal
All right. Why are you. What are you basing this off of?
Damaris
It has nothing to do with. You don't have to cape for white girls. It has nothing to do with the fact that she's white. You sound insane. She's not a better vocalist.
Rory
See, she's not a better vocalist.
Mal
I'm not gonna say better vocalist, but she can handle Randy. She may be a better vocalist than Monica.
Damaris
Maybe Ariana Grande wouldn't say that herself. Even in a closed room with nobody to hear.
Mal
Let's call a thing called humility.
Julian
But she's humble.
Mal
Like, there. You know, I can. There's. Ariana Grande is one of those voices. Like, she's a once in a generation type of vocal.
Damaris
Okay. Ariana Grande is extremely talented, and I'm an Ariana Grande fan. She's one of the few people that when she drops an album, I'm downloading it before I even hear it. Like, I'm a huge Ariana Grande fan because I'm such a Huge Ariana Grande fan. I know her voice well enough to know she cannot sit with them.
Mal
Sonic, you're tripping. She.
Damaris
She is a one. She's a one trick. She's a one or two trick pony.
Mal
No, she's not.
Damaris
Okay.
Mal
No, she's not. You.
Damaris
You bump Ariana regularly. Because I do. I bump Ariana Monica and Brandi Story.
Mal
Can attest to how I've defended Ariana Grande vocals for years.
Rory
Yeah, that is true.
Mal
Ariana Grande. In fact, if Ariana Grande was a black woman, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. That's a fact.
Rory
So it's the ponytail you're saying?
Mal
No, it's the fact that she's not a black R B vocalist. But if we did not know if.
Damaris
She was black be different about her.
Mal
Career, she would be respected more as a vocalist. If she was a black woman, she would be okay. Coco Jones. Love Coco Jones. Think she's amazing. If Coco Jones had the vote, the voice that Ariana Grande has.
Damaris
No, if Coco Jones had the skin color that Ariana Grande has.
Mal
She's a star. Coco's a star. Just. What I'm saying is if she would be a bigger star if she had the voice of Ariana Grande.
Damaris
No, she would be a bigger star if she had the skin color of Ariana Grande.
Mal
That's not true.
Damaris
What? Mom, since when does being a white girl hold you back?
Mal
What the fuck? What do you.
Rory
I'm not under attack in this country.
Mal
Who's holding anybody back, though? Like, what are you talking about?
Damaris
You saying her. You're saying that her. She would be more respected if she was black. No, she wouldn't.
Mal
I'm saying as a vocalist, not as an artist. I'm saying as a vocalist, she would like how you feel. Like she can't sit with Brandi and Monica. If she was a black woman with that voice, you wouldn't say that.
Rory
This Chris, I think people are going to confuse point. I know what he is trying to say. Yes, because she's a white woman, that definitely helped her in her being a pop star. But as far as like the respect.
Mal
The respect of a vocalist. Of a singer and saying Ariana Grande.
Rory
Can sing that because she's a poppy white girl.
Mal
She doesn't get that R and B respect. She doesn't get that R B vocal respect. She doesn't get that.
Rory
Now, I'm sure she'd much rather have the white privileged pop star route that she has done. I don't think that's what he's arguing against. He's just saying. But he's the music lovers and connoisseurs.
Damaris
Like black people. He's saying that, like, black people don't invite these white women. Like. Like a white woman that can sing. We embrace them all the time. Niggas love Christina Aguilera, actually, but niggas love Celine Dion.
Rory
I don't think Christina Aguilera gets her vocal credit, though.
Damaris
Love Adele. What are you talking about?
Mal
Christina Aguilera doesn't get her vocal credit.
Rory
I really like what she does.
Mal
Ariana Grande doesn't get her.
Rory
But also, on the other side of that coin, I don't think Beyonce gets the vocal credit she deserves.
Damaris
No, Beyonce does not. But that's because of the pop music. It has nothing to do with your skin. It's the type of music that you make. When you don't make soulful music, then no, people are.
Mal
Even Ariana.
Damaris
Soulful artist.
Mal
Yes, but even Ariana. Arianna. Because your thing was she can't sit vocally with that. Your statement. I was replying to your statement.
Damaris
Yes.
Mal
Was that vocally, she can't sit.
Rory
Julian. We're doing a podcast.
Damaris
Just Ice. Just. But yeah, back to my original. My original statement. This. I don't want it to seem like I'm taking away or not respecting Ariana. It's not about my disrespect for Ariana. It's about the level that I hold Monica and Brandi at. It has nothing to do with Ariana.
Mal
That's fair.
Damaris
It's the level that Monica and Brandi that's fair.
Mal
But I. Because I've had. And Rory can attest to this. I've had this conversation about Ariana's voice for years. She does not get the respect vocally that she deserves.
Damaris
No, I would agree.
Mal
And it's a lot of it is because of the type of music that she's known for. It's more of a pop sound. It's not your R and B sound. But when she gets into that R and B vibe to say she can't sit with Brandi and Monica, to me.
Rory
I think she could. She's not a better vocalist than Brandi, but. But she could.
Mal
I think she's the best vocalist in Monica. Brandy is.
Damaris
I, you know, they literally call Brandy the vocal bible. I just like.
Rory
I mean, it's Brandy and Whitney. To me, like, that's. Everyone else is just below.
Damaris
All right, you and Mariah Carey don't exist.
Rory
You.
Damaris
Wow.
Mal
Ariana Grande is the Mariah Carey esque type of voice.
Rory
She has a Great impression.
Damaris
The Mariah Carey esque type of voice. But this is. And this is the thing, when it comes. Because everybody want Ariana.
Mal
I'm gonna put it out there. I think Ariana sings better than Mariah Carey. I think she has a better voice than Mariah Carey. Me personally, I don't think that's as.
Rory
Crazy a take as you think it is.
Mal
I think she. I think she has a way better voice than Mariah carey. Actually, like 100. I believe wholeheartedly she has a better voice than Mariah Carey.
Damaris
Oh, my God. I feel like.
Rory
Not in December. Not in December.
Damaris
I feel like I'm in.
Mal
Yeah, no, December 25th, it's Mariah Carey. Santa Claus. We know that.
Rory
But I'm just saying Brandy is below that on Christmas time.
Mal
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, I think vocally, yeah, I think Ariana Grande is a better vocalist than.
Damaris
I think you need. I think you need to take a second.
Mal
For what?
Damaris
You need to go back and watch Mariah Carey.
Julian
For what?
Mal
I'm older than you. I was actually there.
Damaris
No, no, but I think it was actually, like outside. And because you're older than me, I think you maybe a little dementia. You need to go back and rewatch Mariah's performances in the 90s. And I think it's a different conversation because Ariana can't. Ariana can't sing live like Mariah can sing live.
Mal
What?
Damaris
She can't sing like Mariah can sing live.
Mal
Ariana Grande sang at Aretha Franklin's funeral. Let's stop there. You know, I don't even have to say anything else to you. I don't have to say nothing else.
Damaris
Palmer performed Ushers. I don't have a Celebration.
Rory
You gambled at James Brown.
Damaris
What does that mean?
Mal
You don't get invited. You don't get it.
Damaris
Justin Timberland.
Mal
You not get invited.
Rory
Now we're drawing the line.
Mal
No, no, no.
Damaris
Leave J.T.
Mal
Out of this. We're talking about Aretha Franklin.
Damaris
I wasn't gonna yell.
Mal
We're talking about Aretha Franklin. We're not talking about Usher. We're not talking about the queen of England or whatever.
Damaris
You talking about Prince?
Mal
The queen. Ariana Grande was requested.
Rory
Prince isn't like the craziest Aretha Franklin.
Mal
Ariana Grande is one Aretha Franklin's favorite vocalist, okay? She was requested to sing at her services.
Damaris
Okay?
Mal
That says everything you gon. If you know about Aretha Franklin, then we don't even have to have this discussion about the vocalist that Ariana Grande is okay. If you. Respected by Aretha Franklin to that magnitude to be requested at her services. We don't even have to have this conversation about what a vocalist is when we talk about Aretha Franklin's request.
Damaris
Well, we can. We can sit and agree to disagree that. That Mariah. But I want to hear the song right Carry Take. I'm not gonna lie. When you leave the studio, I might, like, shoot you. You're not like in your back. I don't even want you to see me.
Mal
I'm just saying. That's just we just being real. I'm just being real.
Damaris
I don't.
Mal
I'm just being real. I'm just being. And to say Ariana can't sing live well is. That's wild as Mariah.
Damaris
You act like. I said she can't sing as well live as Sierra. I said she can't sing as well live as Mariah.
Mal
Carry, you gotta. You gotta. You gotta. You gotta study. Ariana's like, I do.
Damaris
This is why you're not talking to somebody who's not. I'm an Ariana.
Mal
You're wrong on that. Listen, you could be a fan. That's great. You're wrong on this is all I'm saying. Okay, you're wrong. Ariana Grande's live vocals. There's not many that can sing better than Ariana Grande live. Not many.
Damaris
Okay, we'll agree to disagree. But what I'm going to my original point and why. I don't know if that part was recording because we were coming off a break. My original point, when I said she got the girls together to do the Boy Is Mine, I wish it would have just been them because I wanted a real the Boy Is Mine, Part two. It was more a Ariana song and they did riffs on it. I would prefer if we're gonna. The Boy Is Mine is a huge moment. Is the song out between. Yeah, it's been out for a while. Between these two women who have had trouble not liking each other, there's a history of beef with.
Mal
I gotta hear the song.
Damaris
So to get them both together, that's a big thing. I would rather it just had been.
Mal
The order break the order who performed the best on the song song one through three.
Damaris
I would have to listen to it. I would have to listen to it again. But this is my. This is my point. It sounds like an Ariana song that they're featuring on. But it's the Boy Is Mine.
Rory
Well, if she's doing a cover, I think it's kind of cool. That she brought them in.
Damaris
Yes, I do. I. I agree. I like the song. I just wish that a Boy is mine. Part two would have just been them, that's all.
Rory
That's just maybe bring in Paul McCartney.
Damaris
My nostalgia. But it's a good song. It just sounds like an Ariana song, not a Brandy and monitor.
Rory
Maybe the hip hop Dalmatians do the hoes.
Mal
Mine, they really got hoes. They should have put that.
Rory
That record. Yo, Dre was a hater. Well, that real hip hop shit, that hoe his mind was a smash.
Mal
Yeah, they. They were supposed to put that out the next day.
Rory
They smoked that.
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
Yo, I was. It's so funny. I was on the phone with one of my male friends and he had saw one of the clips or whatever. The clip. Well, the clip of me and ma going back and forth about the female friends and like that. He was like, you gotta understand mom from a different era. Like, he grew up watching where was always sleeping with friend. Like Brown Sugar that had me crying.
Mal
I grew up with watching with people was always are still sleeping with their homies.
Damaris
I said. I said thinking Brown Sugar is what Traumatized.
Mal
Mall traumatized. I'm talking about real is happening in real time. Like we go on the timeline right now. Somebody told me, my man, my baby moms, when you coming up, they doing the same. So now all of this is new. All of this is a rerun. Nothing. I'm telling y'all now. None of this that we experiencing, we just get it faster now. We see it sooner. But ain't none of it new. None of this is new.
Rory
What was the basketball player's name of Brown Sugar. He was the real victim of that movie. He did everything right.
Damaris
I know. He was perfect.
Rory
Yeah, that movie. That movie's so old, they. Clue introduces Fab in the intro. He's like, yo, this is the new art. My new artist Fab in like the opening scene. Like, God, how old am I?
Damaris
Yeah, that movie. That's one of my favorite movies.
Rory
I love great movie and soundtrack is fire Kelby Dawson. Kelby was one of the good ones. Always this. Always the good ones. Nice guys finish last, man. This is why. This is why we dog women out. Because look what. Look what happened to Kelby.
Mal
Yeah, he didn't deserve that.
Rory
He didn't.
Mal
He deserved better.
Rory
I mean, him rapping was a problem, but other than that. But why put that album together may have pushed her away a bit.
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
You know why nobody ever picks Sinai Lathan first? Because in loving basketball, she was.
Rory
She's the problem. I've said this a million times.
Mal
She's always.
Rory
She's always a home wrecker. Yeah, she was.
Damaris
Yes, she was.
Mal
She was always the first option. Obviously, that's how. That's what the movie is. She was always the love of his life. She was always the first option. What are you talking about?
Damaris
No, no. What movie did he watch? That's not.
Mal
We just interpreted the movie different. She obviously was the love of his life from the time they were kids.
Rory
No, basketball was the love of her life.
Mal
Oh, my God.
Rory
That's the theme.
Mal
Cool.
Rory
Love and basketball.
Mal
But she's saying that Sanaa was the second option.
Rory
All is fair in loving basketball.
Mal
But she's trying to say Sanaa was the second option. As far as with Tyra Banks.
Rory
Well, he married Tyra Banks for a buddy pack that.
Damaris
She went over there and begged him and said, I want to play you for your heart.
Rory
I would laugh at that girl's face.
Damaris
Dunking on her with a torn Achilles, like, nigga, hate her, bro.
Mal
And then how did that game end?
Rory
He gave her a swift elbow.
Mal
And how did that game end?
Rory
With a home wrecker. They were getting married, like, the next day.
Mal
A home record. No, man.
Rory
Tyra Banks was asleep in the next room.
Mal
She was always the love of his life from the time he was kids.
Damaris
So why he treated her like that?
Mal
That's just because that's how it happens sometimes. But you was always the one from the time off. The first time I saw you, when we was eight years old, he was so.
Rory
When he was in the bleachers crying about his dad cheating and she had curfew. You're just gonna go back to your dorm? Yeah.
Damaris
Yeah.
Rory
Trying to start. I don't care about your mom.
Damaris
I'm trying to start. I don't care about your mom.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Ooh. Your NBA dad was cheating. Oh, my God.
Damaris
Oh, my God. How dare he?
Mal
The Rory definitely cried at Loving Basket. Watching it though.
Rory
Probably.
Mal
No, you definitely did.
Rory
Yeah, probably.
Mal
He said double or nothing before he started tearing up. He was like, I knew it. I knew he loved her too.
Rory
Yeah, I might have cried when they were for the first time. To this woman's work.
Mal
That's crazy.
Julian
That's sick.
Damaris
To this woman's work.
Mal
That.
Rory
That's a depressing ass song.
Damaris
Yo.
Rory
Loving basketball made the world think that that's a song.
Damaris
And it's not the same thing with every.
Mal
In the hood had that black Nike cut off shirt right there.
Rory
The same thing in different colors, too.
Mal
They had that shirt Right.
Rory
And it had. Remember I had the, like, cool texture on the Nike basketball part.
Julian
Oh, the. The grip. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to have all that.
Rory
I probably have pictures in the same. That same shirt.
Damaris
People pray play Pretty Wings at their funeral.
Julian
You didn't even take the ball back.
Damaris
I mean, they're. Their funeral, at their wedding, and it's like, do you know Pretty Wings is letting a girl, like, get away? Like, that's what the song is about. Why would you play that? Why are you walking down the aisle to that? People don't listen to lyrics anymore? No.
Mal
Well, I guess they Pretty wings. Angels have wings. I don't know. I guess that's what they're trying to.
Damaris
That's what.
Mal
It's not so. They're not so tied into the lyrics and the verse. It's more so the.
Damaris
The ambiance, the hook.
Mal
Pretty wings.
Rory
See, she was all the way in Spain saving herself somebody married to a flight attendant. Had all the passes to go see.
Damaris
Always them flight attendants, man. You was asking me who make me insecure. Them flight attendant. You could fly my out.
Rory
Yeah.
Damaris
Nah.
Rory
Or fly wherever.
Damaris
He said it as a friend.
Julian
I love flight attendants.
Mal
Wow. No, she could fly in. You ain't gotta go.
Rory
Three day turnaround.
Mal
Yeah. I'm in town for 17 hours.
Julian
That's the. That. That's why I love them. They're always gone.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
And you get to skip the TSA line with them.
Julian
I've never had the privilege of, like, going or traveling on a buddy pass with a flight attendant or like going anywhere like that. But I have hooked up with a few flight attendants that are based in New York and they have the best schedule. They're never in town.
Rory
Yeah, it's amazing.
Julian
I love it.
Rory
On for five days, here for three.
Damaris
I don't want to see them.
Julian
No, it's. It's not like they suck. Women are trash. It's like. No, they just have a great skill. Like, I don't have to do like that. We don't have to text every day. She's like, hiking in Montana. Do your thing. I'll see you next week.
Rory
But when you. When you start dating one that, like, just became a flight attendant, they do have some of the shittiest schedule. They send them to Nebraska for like a week. They don't. They don't get, like, the flights to la?
Julian
Oh, no, no, no.
Mal
They do very short flights.
Rory
Yeah. Ma, I believe you were out of town this week. Just got back from the rnc. Right. Where did this take place?
Julian
Milwaukee.
Mal
It's in Milwaukee. When they had some cheese curds. And I gotta help you out here.
Rory
And I know you took yours off.
Julian
After you left, but the tape is still there. Mall. We could see it. We know you had one on earlier.
Mal
See, that don't stick to melanin white ears. Only you pale folk that stick to.
Damaris
Are we gonna talk about Amber Rose?
Rory
Listen, man, listen.
Mal
Amber.
Rory
Yeah, he tried to tell us. My friend told me. Amber says she ain't going back to Philly.
Mal
She ain't going back.
Rory
She's never going back to Philly.
Mal
Can't go back. She about to marry the next senator fucking Texas in a minute. She ain't going back. She done with you, Hood. It's over. It's over.
Damaris
They do do that.
Mal
Yeah. I ain't respect that beautiful woman had out here tatting her forehead all kind of slut walk. Now she at the rnc.
Rory
I love that Republicans got mad at us for wearing masks and now they're wearing bandages on their ear. That's some nerd.
Julian
What do you guys think of this? This. This cult move? You think this will stick?
Mal
Ah, I mean, this is just like when Nelly had the band aid on his eye.
Damaris
Yeah.
Mal
Remember when everybody in the hood started doing it?
Rory
Like, you know, remember when Kurt Schilling with the bloody sock?
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
I feel like all the Red Sox fans were, like, putting red Sharpie on their socks. I get it. It happens all the time.
Mal
Listen, man, this is nothing. Y'all just. This is just Trump's time for it to happen, that's all.
Rory
I wore an Iverson jersey for a year.
Mal
Listen, when Kobe had to wear different. When Kobe had to wear the mask. How is it different when Kobe had to wear a mask? I wanted. Like, I wanted a mask when Kobe had his mask on.
Rory
You were a big Rip Hamilton fan.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
You just walking around the hood with the mask on.
Mal
Listen, they doing it now. Like, they doing it now. At least the ones we was had was cooler. This they got on now is like a stocking with a hole in it. Like, I'm. What is that?
Rory
I think it was a weird move by the Republicans to put Amber Rose up there. Like, I don't think that's turning any votes. I don't think any undecided. Her targeted fan base is like, oh, yeah, you know, I think I'm gonna go Trump now. They just brought someone up that stands for everything they don't stand for. And let her talk.
Mal
What about the what is, what is?
Rory
And no disrespect to Emeralds. She's cool. Not trying to downplay her, but what would be her resume to speak out of any national convention to do with politics?
Mal
She's a social. She's an influencer on social media. A lot of people.
Rory
And this is the problem. And it's not just Republicans, because Democrats do the bullshit to. Why.
Mal
Oh, I mean, listen.
Rory
Because she's an influencer for. What does that have to do with inflation?
Mal
Bring your. Bring your platform.
Rory
I don't care what gyro has to think at a time like this.
Mal
Exactly. But, you know, this is the game that politicians have to play to get a certain audience that they feel like they lack in. And this is part of it, man. We see this every. We see this every convention.
Rory
Yo, that might be Kanye's twin flame. If he's ever single again. I could see it happening.
Mal
She was always the one.
Damaris
I didn't even put that connection together, and now more makes sense to me. I didn't put even put the connection together that that was Kanye's ex girlfriend. And now that makes more sense to me than it did before. It's so. It's still stupid, but it makes more sense.
Mal
That's Kanye's muse right there. That's the original.
Rory
That.
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
I just feel like it's beautiful, dark.
Julian
Sister fantasy muse right there.
Rory
I just feel like Kanye's so crazy. She called him unhinged.
Julian
Did you guys see this? This was a video that she put out with some.
Rory
Yes. Will we get.
Mal
Get.
Rory
We get flagged if we play this? It's so bad.
Julian
America. America needs safe.
Caller
We voted Trump.
Mal
Trump, baby.
Julian
Yeah, that's good enough.
Damaris
That don't make y'all angry? No.
Mal
Hell no. This is. This is the world.
Rory
I'm moving to Toposa. I want to be full time into PO Land. If you guys want to come and visit me, I'll Skype in.
Damaris
Yo, no. Look what they think of.
Rory
Look at that chain.
Mal
Look what they think of us.
Julian
Does that chain say Trump's nephew?
Rory
I don't think so.
Julian
That says nephew.
Rory
Okay, I stand corrected. What the.
Mal
Yo, life is crazy, man. Go vote.
Rory
This is a circus.
Julian
Yeah. It's so embarrassing. This is.
Mal
This is.
Julian
Is no like, mall.
Mal
The.
Julian
Exactly is. This is what they think is going to appeal to black people. That's what's embarrassing.
Damaris
It's so.
Mal
Bro. Every. They all do the same. They all do the same. Joe Biden said you ain't black.
Damaris
Nobody ever said that they do the same. Nobody said it was just Trump. It's all of them.
Mal
Nobody no, Julian just said no, it's not that. This is what they think of black people. They all think this.
Damaris
No, that's what I'm saying. Hillary, too. When Hillary pulled a bottle of hot sauce out on her purse.
Mal
Exactly.
Damaris
She's from Arkansas Club. That.
Mal
All of that.
Damaris
That is just so disrespectful to me.
Rory
You're trying to tell me now that Hillary Clinton's not actually friends with Pusha.
Mal
T. Just broke the marriage pole a little hard in London.
Julian
I borrowed Hillary's hot sauce. Rory was there.
Rory
That's true. Took it out of the Birkin.
Julian
That's right.
Rory
All food in London needs hot sauce. So Hillary was ahead of the game. I didn't watch the rnc. I saw clips like everyone else. I didn't watch Hammer speech. I didn't need to.
Julian
I. I have a fun story to tell on Tuesday.
Rory
Pimping out his granddaughter was funny.
Julian
On Tuesday, I went to the Daily show taping.
Rory
Oh, that's cool.
Julian
It was my first time going, and it was incredible. They were supposed to do it at the rnc, but obviously with. With everything that happened over the weekend, the. They have two zones, the soft zone and a hard zone for security. And where John Stewart.
Rory
Which one did you go?
Julian
The hardest zone, where John.
Rory
They were sucking dick from scratch in the soft zone.
Julian
Referencing something that was off mic.
Mal
With.
Julian
No context is crazy.
Rory
I don't want to give context. Go ahead.
Julian
Where their studio was, was in what would be considered the soft zone, meaning that they would have more of a clearance there. But it was. They expanded the hard zone, meaning you can't know nothing's shooting in there. You can't have anybody in there. So they packed it all up, flew the crew back to New York, and they put together this show last minute.
Damaris
It.
Julian
And I. I ended up going, and it was. It was incredible. It was Jon Stewart's once a week one. It was his first address about the incident. And his guest, rory, was Bill O'Reilly.
Rory
I know. I mean, I watched the clip of their debate.
Julian
It was great.
Rory
I mean, they're the. They have some of the greatest YouTube moments in history.
Julian
They're so fun to watch together, but just consummate professionals. But they're. It was great. Their. Their conversation was awesome. I would encourage everyone to check out the actual thing on YouTube, but.
Rory
But this new Republican Party is so insane that they make Bill O'Reilly look like he looked. He's sort of like a normal human being.
Julian
Yeah.
Rory
Like, Bill O'Reilly used to be the most off hinge. Crazy Republican of my entire childhood. And now it's like, yeah, he's one of the normal ones laughing at all.
Mal
Of this, man, all of this is a circus. But go vote. Go vote.
Rory
I'd like to go to some type of convention, like, just to observe. Like, I would go to the rnc, not to support, but just to like, see what it's like.
Julian
The DNC's in Chicago.
Rory
I'm not going to go all the way to Chicago for that, but I would go to a dnc. I think those things would just be interesting to observe people at. Like to really feel what the cult feels like.
Mal
I would like to be like, in the midst of yes. Because some people are really like. Like, this is their life. This type of. Like they live and breathe and die. This type of. I'm just like, you know. But I mean, I guess it's the same for us in our culture too.
Damaris
So your boy Biden gave my boy Speedy shout out to Speedy, gave him.
Rory
The vid like you gave all of us in Atlanta.
Damaris
I'm gonna give your ass something in Atlanta. Don't even worry about it. But by the way, Speedy should have been on that list.
Rory
I agree. Speedy should have been on the in high on it, but was maybe left off because of conflict of interest. It was a complex list. He works for Complex.
Julian
You look at the rest of the list.
Rory
Oh, yeah, I take it back.
Mal
Yeah, I was about to say. Where are you going with that?
Damaris
Where are you going with that?
Mal
You're not gonna land this one. What are you talking about?
Rory
Listen, I'm a huge supporter of Complex now. So I'm trying to be on this.
Damaris
Greatest platform of all time because. Because Speedy does a lot of stuff that's not like, for example, he interviewed the president. He just interviewed Will Smith. Like he does a lot of. Of things that aren't just hip hop related. So I guess not a hit. But he still does hip hop interviews.
Rory
So. Yeah, he interviewed President Biden three days ago. Four days ago.
Mal
Well, no, he probably interviewed him before that. It came.
Julian
He interviewed him really quick turnaround. He interviewed him the day before the shooting. So last Friday.
Rory
Last Saturday.
Julian
The shooting was Saturday, right, yeah, yeah, so.
Rory
Oh, I'm sorry. When he actually recorded. Yeah, so yeah, then Biden came out and said, he has Covid. How you get COVID 19 and like get covered 24.
Julian
I don't want it.
Rory
What the is wrong with you?
Julian
I'm really not.
Rory
How you get that old ass vid.
Julian
If he has Covid as speedy recovery.
Rory
All that hey, no pun intended.
Julian
Nice, but do you not think I know Adam's conspiracy hat? This is not just a good way to just buy time. If you're Biden, just be like, hey, cut the.
Mal
It's not a good way. This is the way. This is exactly what.
Rory
The only way.
Mal
This is exactly what they're doing.
Julian
Why are you saying cut this? I. I led with the conspiracy. I'm the one saying I think this is. What do you mean, cut the. We're saying the same.
Mal
Ask the question. Just. Just say it. This is him buying time. That's exactly what this is. This is him buying time.
Rory
So you don't believe the legitimacy of.
Mal
No, man. What are we talking about?
Rory
Should have wore a mask.
Mal
Get the out of here with this. He tested.
Rory
Is he vaxxed Covid?
Mal
Is he vax.
Julian
Oh, he's not killing those stairs.
Damaris
That's me going up to Julian apartment steps.
Julian
Yeah.
Rory
That's me taking heels.
Damaris
Yeah. Me going up Julian's five floor walk up in six inch heels.
Rory
Yo, the fact that they didn't call Speedy, though, is kind of crazy. Speedy put up a video like, yo, no one's gonna call me. I just interviewed you, and you have Covid. That is, like, kind of irresponsible. They should call everyone that was around the president if he really has Covid. Like, when I got Covid, we called J.D. we called Bow Wow, we called Russ. We're like, yo, Damaris got us all.
Mal
Ain't nobody calling nobody tomorrow. I got tested positive for. Man, get the. Off my phone.
Rory
Because you're a super spreader.
Mal
Get out of here. I tested, all right. No, drink some ginger tea. You want me to tell you, Like, I'm cool?
Rory
My question would be, how did you find out?
Mal
Yeah, like, you went and got tested. Who even gets tested for Kobe?
Rory
They have home tests now.
Damaris
Well, he probably gets.
Julian
No, they get tested a lot.
Damaris
A lot. Because he works in the White House.
Julian
People in politics still get tested quite regularly.
Mal
Why don't we take. Why don't you go take another test?
Rory
Stop.
Mal
You getting tested positive for COVID 19. Go take that fucking test that Trump said you. And he'll go with you to take.
Rory
He was going to do it.
Mal
Agree to take that.
Rory
He was going to do it. Now he has to quarantine. It's responsible.
Mal
Fuck out of here.
Rory
He has to quarantine till November's like.
Mal
They play right in your face with this shit. Like, cut the shit, man. Get your ass off that Democratic bill. You ain't winning. Get out. Let The Democrats try to have a. Try to get a fucking the house on November 5th. Like, let them at least try. Get your ass out of here, man.
Rory
Well, every viable Democratic candidate is scared because they have a high chance of losing. And then you're going to look like the loser. And you can't run in four years.
Mal
Listen.
Rory
Because you'll have that loser stain on you.
Mal
Listen, bro, it just is what it is. It is what it is. Everybody knows what it is at this point. Let's just stop. Stop. Cut the shit. Cut the shenanigans. The guy is not fit to be president physically. He should not be the leader of this country. Just physically fuck with policies aside. Physically, he's not fit to be president of the United States.
Rory
Well, that's. Cause now he can't be walking through the projects or walking through the hood.
Julian
Like he used to with popcorn.
Mal
He can't walk up to Air Force One. The steps.
Damaris
He can't.
Mal
He's not walking up.
Damaris
It ain't but like eight steps on that motherfucker, too. It ain't like, as a steep hill.
Mal
Like, you could just those.
Rory
Well, he said, I used to be on the east side. And they'd be like, hey, Joe, Ain't.
Mal
Nobody ever seen Joe Biden on the east side of Harlem, man. What is he talking about?
Rory
I don't know what city he was talking about. He just said the east side.
Mal
Oh, it could be.
Rory
I know your brain went there because when we say the east side, where.
Mal
You was talking about east side of.
Rory
Harlem, but he was just in the interview, like, I should be in the east side.
Mal
The east.
Rory
Can we just call el barrio?
Mal
Stop. No, he el barrio. Yeah, right. He could still be standing there trying to say el barrio right now. Yeah, it's just time, man. It's just time.
Rory
You used to live in 11.99.
Mal
Yeah, I know.
Damaris
Yeah, I know.
Mal
It's just time, man. It's all right. It's all right, man. Just bow out. Go enjoy the rest of your life, man.
Rory
Listen, man, to Pots Land, there's plenty of beds.
Mal
I'm ready.
Rory
You can all come.
Mal
I'm ready.
Damaris
Have you ever thought about y'all podcast retirement?
Mal
Like, every day? Like a 401k every day of my life?
Rory
Or like, actually retiring?
Damaris
Like, actually retiring from podcasting? Have y'all ever thought, like, damn, like, when. When am I gonna feel too old for this?
Rory
No, I'm gonna pod all the way to. With how Biden speaks. I'm g. Just get on this pod.
Mal
Ice cream. Ice cream is Understanding what?
Rory
Damaris, the black one here with Damaris.
Mal
This is like.
Rory
And this is. This is my friend.
Julian
All right, here we go.
Mal
So you don't, you know.
Rory
Too far.
Mal
Yeah, don't trigger. Don't trigger.
Rory
I have dementia.
Mal
Don't tr. I have co. You're right, Julian. We got voicemails. You've got mail.
Julian
Yes. Thank God. Jesus Christ. Okay. Yes, just. This is. This one's weird. There you go. Oh, no, not that one.
Mal
You're not.
Rory
Angie.
Mal
What's up?
Caller
Rory and Ma. Baby D and Julian, I got a quick question, man. I'm trying to make this sum this up real quick. So I had a shorty that I was talking to. We already like mentally, intellectually, right there. Because we don't talk and dealt with each other in the past, but as of right now, we couldn't be physical because she was coming out of a divorce. So the one of the reasons why she said she getting a divorce is because everything about to do is Gucci, except she ain't really satisfied in bed. So when it comes to me and her reconnecting, one of the main subjects is, hey, is it still hitting like, like, like, like how she remembers. She keep on, you know what I'm saying, pressing the. So I'm like, man, whatever, cool. We finally get to it and we finally. And the thing is, is that she be getting into her bag. She like swings, handcuffs, all that wild. All consensual, of course, but she gets her motherfucking back. Now the thing is, I really, I would start this off of saying I really like this girl and I want to be in a relationship. But what ended up happening is one night that we ended up. We ended up in the urgent care because I bruised her cervix. She was going crazy on me. So after that we've been talking, but it ain't really been the same. And she said it, yeah, she just want to be kind of friends and like that. But I, I what?
Rory
I didn't say the mayor's a hater.
Damaris
I didn't say anything.
Rory
No, it's on camera, cuz we on.
Caller
Multiple times before that urgent care situation. But post urgent care, none of that. Thing is, I really want this girl though. So can y'all tell me some tips on how I can try to like get her back? Cuz now I can't really her like that.
Julian
I feel you.
Mal
King did this. Ask us how could he get back with a girl because she can't have sex with him because is he alluding to having just a Big right in there. Is that what he called for?
Rory
I believe, yes. He called to flex Damaris. Called him a liar.
Damaris
I didn't say anything. And you said that you ain't believe Trump was really shy. Now we just talk about. That wasn't said. I might.
Mal
That's crazy.
Rory
You was right on, Mike.
Mal
Women play a dirty game, boy. Y'all go when they go low, you go low, huh?
Rory
Baby, women are born in hell.
Damaris
We work our way out.
Mal
Oh, my God, fam, you don't think.
Rory
He bruised her cervix? You've had to bruise cervixes in your day.
Mal
Listen, man, I don't know. It is what it is. I don't know. I don't. I don't know what to even say to that. I don't even know how I could offer any. Just have a talk with her and tell her you'll be more gentle and soft with her.
Rory
Let's get off the swing.
Mal
Yeah, like, I don't. I don't. Just tell her you'll be more gentle and soft with her.
Julian
Yeah, get the fuck off the playground.
Mal
Yeah, like, I don't lay on the bed. I don't know. I don't know.
Rory
Maybe let's try missionary this time.
Mal
Yeah, just, like, put all it. Put the. Put the park outside. Like, stop trying to bring the park inside. Get the swings and all that out of here and have sex like a mature couple.
Rory
I don't know if it's appropriate to ask. Have you ever had your cervix?
Damaris
No, it's not appropriate for you to ask.
Rory
Oh, okay. Got you.
Mal
You.
Julian
I was.
Rory
Well, then I'll. I'll bring in the inappropriateness. I was really proud of myself when Kia was pregnant. I forgot what it's called. Like, your cervix moves or whatever. I knocked that right back. Right back into place. I forgot what it was called. But, like, yo, you have this. And then we went back to do another ultrasound and do the whole thing. They're like, yeah. No, it was put right back in place. And I was like, yeah, you see.
Damaris
Me king my amar did a back flip, and that's how it ended up back.
Rory
Why? Why can't I just hold on to my version?
Mal
Women don't know when they see they. How to go right at your securities, you know what I'm saying?
Rory
I was really proud of myself leaving that appointment.
Julian
Well, before this guy tries to really get a brag off this. It's really not that impressive. If you look at the anatomy.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Oh, yeah. Three. Three to Seven inches.
Julian
Depending on your anatomy, it could be anywhere from 3 to 7 inches of the vaginal opening and able to reach through the cervix.
Rory
I was in the hallways of that doctor office, like, with the big dick walk. I didn't know it was three inches.
Mal
First of all, stand up.
Damaris
How. First of all, that camera right there.
Rory
It'S like how Tupac walked out of court. Court.
Mal
Yo, come on, man. Come on, man. You said stop. Stop.
Rory
You know?
Mal
No, man, come on, man. Just. Just stop. Just stop, man.
Rory
That's how I walked out of.
Mal
Oh, I don't want to hear that you walked out of the guy, yo.
Julian
Thinking you went crazy. And the cervix is 3 inches.
Rory
It's 3 inches.
Mal
So I'm saying, like, what do I say? I'm not going to attack his manhood. I'm not that type of. You know what I mean?
Damaris
All right, let me. Let me throw him. Let me throw Big dick. Deshawn some. Some fail here.
Mal
Is that his name? I didn't see that on email.
Rory
I think his name was tj.
Mal
Yeah, I didn't see that, but go ahead, baby.
Damaris
So he did say that she. He was kind of alluding that she did it because she was going so crazy, right? He was like, yo, she was going so crazy, I. I bruised her cervix. Yeah, maybe she went back to her husband, homie. Maybe the times just aligned, but maybe she went back to her husband. I don't know.
Mal
You feel.
Damaris
I'm saying I don't know, y'all, but it's a possibility. That's all I'm saying.
Mal
Gotcha. Okay.
Julian
You love not giving a man credit.
Damaris
How he's not even trying to take credit. He says she was going too hard, and that's how her service got brewed.
Julian
Is anyone. You guys ever on a swing or motion like that?
Mal
On a swing? No, no, no.
Rory
Just on, like, those whirly about things at Dorney Park.
Julian
You at a children's park.
Rory
It's all ages.
Mal
Yeah. Y'all don't want to point out the real ones, right? See, like, he just. He just told y'all what he did at dor around kids. You know what I'm saying? Like, all right, whatever.
Rory
I guess there was probably kids in the facility.
Julian
Probably, yes.
Rory
They weren't in the thing we were in, though.
Mal
Nobody all right, it. Now.
Rory
Y.
Mal
Don want to dance? Was dancing.
Rory
And the statue of limitations is okay.
Julian
Sex swings. Yeah. I just imagine the thought of walking into Shorty's crib.
Mal
Why they.
Rory
Why they choose that woman went my dumb ass.
Mal
I'm so. Listen. I'm so out of touch. I walk and see that the girl grabbed like, you into Pilates?
Damaris
This dumbass.
Mal
You got the Pilates.
Rory
Clean that. Clean that up. When you die in the living room.
Mal
You doing Pilates in your crib. Damn. All right. That's what's up.
Julian
Oh, you can kind of dress it up. I mean, this is from Wayfair. This is.
Mal
Yeah, that could be, like, a little hammock.
Julian
This is. This is just a hammock.
Damaris
But that's a hammock.
Mal
You know where is doing what they get that in their house. Going crazy in it away fit. Big, big dun.
Damaris
Donut is so funny.
Rory
We bought one, never installed it.
Julian
You have a sex wing, remember?
Rory
Well, I don't know if you were. You were with the pod. I don't know if you were on the pod when Lon called me to ask if, like, my thousand dollars at a sex store was fraud, and I was like, nah, it was me. That was one of the items, you know, Swing we just never installed. Looks fun, though.
Damaris
Quick question. Where did y'all plan on installing it at?
Julian
Ooh, this one looks fun.
Rory
We were horny and drunk and on 8th Avenue, so, like, everything made sense.
Mal
Yeah. Come on, now.
Rory
And then we got home, and it was like, wait, so I have to drill into the ceiling?
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
You thought you was just gonna hang that from the doorknob?
Rory
I. I wasn't thinking.
Julian
Look at this position. Imagine double teaming the girl.
Mal
That's not us just swinging back and forth and. That's crazy.
Julian
Look at this one.
Damaris
It's. It's just Julian, if you are. If you're on audio right now, Julian is looking at us.
Julian
Photographs, karma sutra, sex chart of how to use a sex wing. It's like, if you go to the.
Rory
Haircut, arching your back like that to get some head is.
Julian
It's like when you go to the barbershop and try to figure out which cut you want. Why are there so many with three people?
Damaris
Because people are in a group sex, Julian.
Julian
Group sex on a swing is hilarious. This is hilarious. He's eating on the swing.
Mal
The hilarious part is you just assuming that that's a woman with them.
Rory
Like.
Julian
Well, I'm assuming the gray is a woman.
Mal
Yeah. That's what you assume.
Julian
Yeah. Because, look, they kind of tell you.
Rory
Like, there are no genitalia anywhere.
Julian
Well, the grade.
Rory
The grades, you don't really. You just know it's the other person.
Julian
This one's the. The last one is the guy. The guy who's then.
Rory
Yeah. That's crazy, woman.
Damaris
I feel like that's probably crazy.
Julian
Probably.
Damaris
That's probably. No. Cause like, imagine having two heavy ass dud.
Rory
I've never heard you laugh like that.
Mal
You heard what Damaris said, yo. Having two heavy ass dudes on you like that.
Rory
Breathe. Breathing all hard, making noises like that on a swing. Peace. Now you know what the artwork is, yo.
Mal
Yo, yo died. Until Demara said that and I got the visual. It's just like, listen, man, get off me. Everybody love who you love. But two should be doing that. Like, come on, man. What we doing, man?
Rory
There has to be some rule with three people on a swing at once, yo.
Julian
But like, that position is you're the dude in the ass while he her.
Rory
That's gonna take a lot of chemistry. And them. That's teamwork. For real.
Damaris
Give them all a gummy.
Mal
Yo, yo.
Julian
Oh, my.
Mal
Oh, my God, dog. I am over here really crying, man.
Julian
Holy.
Mal
Yeah, like, two big heavy should be doing that on top of a girl, though. Relax. Hey, just go sit down. I'll come to you in a minute, sir.
Rory
Like, let's work in shifts, yo.
Mal
Go sit down, man. Like.
Rory
Being a man up on the swing like this. It's hilarious.
Mal
How you get heavy.
Rory
Oh, my God. Yo, yo, holding yourself up with your legs.
Julian
Yo, you look like a gargoyle. What are you doing?
Mal
Is.
Rory
That's like J kiss on the Olympic rings.
Mal
My thing is how horny you got to be. Like, some of this is like, fam, Y'all too horny.
Damaris
Yeah, I know that. That's not masculine, cuz when I looked at that. That picture, I immediately thought, like, why she e. I didn't even think. I didn't even think like that.
Rory
She big, sucking dick.
Damaris
Like, that's wild.
Julian
Oh, these positions are hilarious.
Rory
I gotta install it.
Mal
Yo, that was hilarious. Y'all is way too horny, bro, to try that position. Y'all way too.
Julian
But that's how you put a hole in the cervix, I'd imagine, yo.
Damaris
Because I feel like if you swinging, like. Cause you could get hurt on a swing period. You fuck around and leave your arm out on a regular swing and bang your arm against the heavy metal part.
Rory
Imagine you fucking your girl and then you give her an underdog.
Mal
But it's another nigga waiting on the other end.
Rory
She does the backflip out of the.
Julian
Swing, lands on it.
Mal
Y'all too horny, man. They too horny. They too horny out here, man. Ma, you Wouldn't get a sex swing. Yeah, but I wouldn't be doing what those gentlemen would. I'm not. It's not the swing that I'm against, baby.
Rory
It's some of them you're on beginner level.
Mal
Yeah, some of them. Some of them images is like, yo, who doing that? Like, you way too horny, my man. Like, you bought your homeboy do all this shit with your girl.
Rory
Homeboy leaning on your back like, nah.
Mal
Y'All too horny, fam. Y'all too horny. I ain't never been that horny. That's crazy how if you.
Rory
If you met a girl.
Damaris
Julian just bookmarked it. I hate him too.
Mal
No, I didn't.
Rory
Julian say, you meet a girl on whatever app, go out with her first night, she invites you back to the crib and like in the middle of the living room is a sex swing.
Julian
I'd be. But I'd probably wear. I wear a condom.
Rory
I would hope so.
Julian
Yeah.
Rory
A girl just having a sex.
Julian
Like, if it's like a main single girl.
Mal
But why you. But why you. But why you wearing a condom?
Julian
Cuz if this is like a main feature in her home. Yeah. It's like, it's looked at like an.
Damaris
Art piece that somehow you walk in.
Rory
The door, it's like, well, you ready for the tour?
Damaris
I actually would think that she would be more sexually responsible.
Mal
Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Why. Why would you wear a condom with her? But like, not anybody else? The drunk. The drunk girl that's barefoot at the bar. Like, you going home and you going.
Rory
That girl is crazy.
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
Like the bare feet on the New York City bar.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
If her feet that dirty, imagine. Never mind.
Mal
She's like, I live right off house. And she just walks on the bar barefoot to her block. That's like. Like you going right upstairs and knock down.
Damaris
She ain't washing her feet when she get in here.
Julian
You know, it's gross, dirty feet. Watching women. It's always women. They do go barefoot at the gym. What is that?
Damaris
Well, I've. I've taken my. I've taken my shoes off at the gym. Socks on. Yes. Obviously.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
I've seen women, like during their squats or like when they're on their leg thrust, they're all like. And I get it, like for. If you're squatting, I see a lot of people doing the socks, whatever balance. But barefoot. Yeah, that's gross.
Rory
Mo. Do you see the top two?
Julian
Oh, that's what. That's. Who's Next.
Rory
That's where we're going.
Julian
Yeah, you wanna. You wanna say who's next?
Mal
This is Baltimore part one and two.
Julian
We'll say his email.
Mal
Oh, my bad. This is Baltimore. All right, let's hear from Baltimore Part 2.
Rory
That was funny to me.
Caller 2
Yo, what up, Rory? Ma Damaris. Julian, man, 22 years old. I'm a young Baltimore.
Mal
A young Baltimore. I know a few young Baltimore.
Damaris
Why did he have to be 22? He could have been any age.
Mal
22. My young Baltimore right there.
Rory
Remember on February 22, 2022, that day on Twitter.
Julian
Baltimore Day.
Rory
Yeah, that was a great day on Twitter.
Damaris
Oh, my God.
Caller 2
22 years old. I'm a young Baltimore.
Rory
We could tell.
Caller 2
There's a girl I used to talk to and, like.
Damaris
Stop.
Rory
We gotta get through this.
Mal
Yo, why you calling him? Playing these games, man. So with you.
Damaris
I love my Baltimore.
Julian
Oh, I'm sweating. All right.
Caller 2
Friends, like, knew I. I talked to her or whatever, you know, I'm saying I knew I hit her. You know, I'm saying all this other stuff, we was talking back and forth on and off for maybe, like.
Rory
Please don't say a year and a half.
Mal
Thank God. Thank God. He didn't say two years now.
Rory
They didn't make it six more months.
Caller 2
And ask, yo, has anybody hit her? Mind you, everybody basically knows that I did did it. So I was. I was a little confused, but I was like, yeah, I did. I'm actually kind of talking to her right now. You know what I'm saying, cuz? I like her.
Damaris
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Mal
He cuffing.
Damaris
He mad as. Yeah, because I like her. Like the. All right, go ahead. Sorry.
Caller 2
Yeah, he then texted me on the side and said, yo, you should ask redacted if he hit someone else in the group chat, because he said that he hit her as well. So I texted him, actually, I FaceTimed him. I said, yo, you hit. You hit such and such. He said, yeah. I said, wow, that's so sad.
Rory
I said, wow.
Mal
Damn. Young boys going through it.
Damaris
You're going through it.
Mal
Damn. I hate to hear my young boys going through it. That pain true. Yeah. Like, he. That pain is. Yeah, that paint. That pain is too much.
Damaris
It's too good, yo. All right, for real, we gotta stop.
Julian
We gotta stop. There you go.
Caller 2
You know, So I went up to her. I was like, yo, why would you. You know what I'm saying? Try to talk to me if you, you know, hit. Got hit by my. By my. By my homeboy. She said, oh, that never happened. What are you talking about?
Julian
So.
Caller 2
So I was. I was in a state of limbo.
Rory
It's two sides to a story out.
Mal
What I should have done.
Caller 2
It's over now. But I wanted to know how y'all think I should have handled the situation.
Damaris
Doesn't he have a part two?
Julian
We can play part two.
Rory
I hope he says this is part two.
Mal
God, I hope. I hope he starts with that. Please start with that.
Julian
Let's see.
Caller 2
I don't know if you guys are going to listen to this part, but I'mma still send a second part. So y'all can, you know, don't try to hear at least. Why say anything because if you don't know. I didn't say anything only because I didn't want to be wrong in the situation. Because then if I was like, if he. If he ended up keeping it to be and saying, yo, actually I didn't hit her cool. You know, it is what it is. But then there was a chance in my head, I was like, what if he did do it? And then I know how he is. He's a silent assassin. Like, he.
Mal
He.
Caller 2
He's somebody that. You know what I'm saying, Saying, shoot from the roof. Like, like, like, like Trump. Like Trump got shot. You feel me? So, like, he'll. He'll do some, and then you. You won't even know until he show you the video that he did it. You know what I'm saying? The video I got, I gotta sit there with a dumb face trying to. Trying to stand up for this girl that actually, you know what I'm saying? Did, did, did me crazy. You feel me? So, yeah, I hope you guys listen.
Rory
That's a bad predicament, though. It's like, is my homie lying on his dick?
Mal
Damn, that is nothing. This is. None of. This is new. This happens all the time.
Rory
Well, she ran through all this happens.
Mal
All. It's just now he's 22, and this is their time to go through this. This is their time to go through it. This is the. You go through at that. At that age with the homies.
Damaris
Like, I feel like his homie lying, though.
Mal
I hope not.
Rory
I guess he has to think to himself, but I've seen that happen with my homie lie on his dick. But then also, his friend also reached out and said, you should like, reach out to him to see if he beat. So obviously he's been telling people that he beat.
Mal
Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. If your homie lie on his piece.
Rory
Like, that's crazy.
Mal
I don't know if you could be my homie, because it's like, all right. If you lie on that, you'll lie on anything. Yeah.
Julian
And you gotta look at, like, the politics of why he would lie. He's really probably. He's only making that lie so it looks like he has somewhat of an upper hand socially on you.
Mal
Right.
Julian
Like, it's. It's to. It's to make you look small.
Mal
Right, Right.
Julian
Which is. You wouldn't. You shouldn't. To your friend.
Mal
You got to read those. I'm. You got to read those type of signs early.
Damaris
Well, see, what I. What I a from it. What I got.
Mal
That ain't your homies. If he lying on it. Yeah, that ain't your homies.
Rory
What's worse, the dude that lies on his dick or the girl that says, yo, I used to talk to him. And all you did was have three DMs with her?
Damaris
The dude that lies on his dick.
Mal
Yeah. That's the worst shit ever.
Rory
I just hate that girl. I used to talk to him.
Mal
No, we didn't.
Damaris
Niggas do that. Hold on. Women do do that, and that shit is lame as accountability for women. Yes, women do that. It's lame as. As do that too. And it's like, why are you doing.
Rory
This if I never. We never talked.
Damaris
Why. Why are you doing this even if you.
Julian
We didn't talk?
Rory
There's also circumstances where we And I didn't talk.
Julian
I'm not. Damn. I don't know if she looks, but.
Rory
I'm saying there's never a time in my life when I was conversing with a woman back and forth. Like, even if it was on some get to know you. And we never had sex that I came back and said, I. I talked to her. No, I didn't. We exchanged text messages, and they never.
Damaris
Just say, I used to talk to her. Girls would be like, oh, yeah, I used to talk to him would be like. Like, oh, yeah. He was on my line. She was on my line. She was on it. I almost beat.
Mal
Almost.
Julian
I almost beat it.
Rory
Yo, almost beating is crazy. Oh, that's like borderline raping to me. I almost be the. What you mean you almost beat?
Mal
That's what somebody be like, I tried to call you when. What you mean you tried. Did you press call or not? What the. You mean you tried to call?
Damaris
You ain't get it? No, I didn't get it.
Mal
The you.
Damaris
Oh, it must ain't go through. I hate Liars.
Rory
But with him, there's plenty of women that had, like, I followed up. We probably ended up would have. But I don't walk around saying, yo, I almost beat.
Mal
Yeah, n. That's crazy.
Damaris
Well, what I was saying about him is I feel like with this situation, when you said, like, oh, he's trying to have the upper hand, I feel like homie was just lying. Like, I feel like before I. Okay, so I'm trying to get this right. I feel like he was lying and saying he beat that girl before anybody started with her. And then. Then homie started with him. It's like, oh, like, I done lied on this random girl, and now one of my friends talked to her. You see what I'm saying? So with a lie like that, do you die with the lie or do you. Because I feel like he was saying that before. Oh, no.
Mal
There's dudes out there that die with that type of lie. They die with that.
Rory
You don't like. That's something you don't need to lie about.
Mal
It's the craze. That's what I'm saying. If you got a friend that lies about that, cut. Cut that friend off because you gonna save yourself trouble down the line. Because that type of liar is crazy. Crazy.
Rory
Now, granted, I've lied and said I didn't beat when I did that.
Mal
Oh, yeah, I've done that. I've definitely done that. Definitely.
Julian
Certainly have done that.
Rory
What? I never fucked that girl.
Mal
But I told y'all before. Like, a girl said that me and her. She told, like, her homegirls that me and her had sex and me, we never. I was like, that was the first.
Rory
Lying on your is crazy.
Mal
I had never. I never even knew women did that.
Rory
Adding a body to your.
Mal
I never knew women. I knew dudes did. I see dudes all the time.
Rory
Yeah.
Mal
I never knew women lie to about that.
Damaris
That's crazy.
Mal
That was the most. That was the. It was so crazy that I thought her friends was lying. I'm like, she ain't say that. There's no way she said. They looking at me like, yo. No, she definitely told. I'm like, there's no way she said that.
Damaris
She probably said it. And she. She probably said it because she wanted you or because one of her friends wanted you, probably, and to, like, hurry up and claim it. N. I hit that already so that she would have a chance.
Mal
That's the same scenario. Yeah. Flip. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. I never knew women played that game.
Damaris
Yes.
Mal
I was so, so thrown off by that. Because women usually, they don't tell people who they slept with.
Julian
How we just said, even if I hit, we didn't go together. I don't know, just whatever. I'm just gonna say this anyway. I recently, I was out recently and I was out with a friend from college visiting and I ran into. I was leaving this bar and it's like a Tuesday night. We ran into a girl that I had hooked up with once. It's like, oh, like, hey, how you been? We do not talk. Hooked up once. That was it. And my friend asked, he goes, I was like, oh, how do you know Julian? She goes, oh, we used to date. And I said, excuse me, what? And then her friends came out the bathroom and they were like, let's all go to this other bar. And I was like, I want to go home. My friend's like, oh, let's go. I was like, whatever, Only because you're in town. We went. She introduced me to all her friends. It's like, oh, how do you know Julian? Because I knew two of her friends who I'm like cool with. One that I actually went on a date with too. Whatever, it doesn't matter. And she said, oh, we used to date. And that kept. Every time she said it, it pissed me off. So I was like, we once.
Damaris
Well, Julian, I feel like you're that.
Julian
I mean, not there in that mom not going to blow her whole up. But like I left with my friend.
Mal
I the amp in the whole room. Yo, we once.
Damaris
Okay, but see this now, everybody in.
Mal
Their phone calling Uber.
Julian
She's sitting there like, I'm so happy for you. Like everything looks like it's going good for you. I'm like, we were never like in this thing together.
Rory
She always believed in you.
Mal
Hit me with that.
Julian
Wish you the best of luck. Yeah, like how I don't have your number saved. Like we were never cool.
Rory
What's your name again? Thank you. Okay, Julian, I don't remember your name.
Mal
N but Julian front.
Rory
I've actually been trying to hear when you introduce yourself what your name is.
Mal
Julian only acting like he only acting like that. Cuz she didn't have no warlocks. That's the.
Rory
Yeah, her Game of thrones were missing.
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
Please stop. It doesn't stop happen. It's not going to happen.
Julian
All tits. Game of Thrones. I'm gna make that stick. That's hilarious.
Rory
If you think about it, you could play games with them.
Damaris
Not standing up for her. Not standing up for her. But What I'm going to say is, what should she have said in that moment that wouldn't make things weird or awkward?
Julian
You could literally just say we went on a date.
Rory
Or you could just not say that at all.
Julian
Friends or just when people are asking.
Damaris
So she can't say y'all used to date, but she wanted to lie and say y'all were friends when you just didn't even want her to?
Mal
Wish we used to date.
Julian
Makes you think we, like, went together. We never went. We went one place together. It was my apartment.
Mal
See, that's those. You gotta.
Julian
Are we talking about here?
Mal
Don't say we used to date, because I get it.
Julian
Yeah.
Rory
Why can't people just be straight up honest? If someone asks what we connected on a dating app and went out once.
Mal
Fam.
Julian
No, because that's the up thing. Because when it was my best friend from college and her. And before her friends closed out of the bar and there's three of us, she said, we used to date. I looked her. I said, what? And then I turned to frazzle.
Rory
We.
Julian
We hooked up.
Rory
Up.
Julian
That was it. And I gave her the opportunity to, like, reassess our relationship. Her friends come and then she doubles down. Yeah, let's just join. We used to date. No, we didn't. But why.
Mal
Why you didn't say it, though?
Julian
Because it's her Friday. When their girlfriends are involved.
Mal
See, that's the problem. That's the problem right there.
Damaris
You gotta start saying it. It's not that, like, it's not that serious.
Mal
Obviously it is.
Damaris
Doing that around a you liked. Like, if she was doing it around, like, exactly somebody you cared about, that's different. But you're there. It's her friend. She don't want to sit up here and say, o me one time and never called me again. That's awkward. That makes the night awkward.
Julian
The whole night awkward. And then, like, I literally didn't want to go to the second spot and we did.
Mal
That's even more of a reason to make the. The night up. But I didn't even want to be.
Julian
It was like when we sat down at the table and she. And she started doing that. Like, I remember two years ago, I don't even remember when I hit. It was like maybe two, three years ago.
Mal
She was doing thing with dogs. Walk past every fire hydrant and piss on it.
Damaris
Well, maybe she like you. Maybe she like you.
Julian
I learned in that moment she really liked me. But I'm like, we never were a thing. Like, what is this?
Mal
She pissed on you, bro. You were a hydrant and she pissed on you. That's all. She claimed you.
Rory
Oh, she literally pissed on you.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Nah, that's what she told us.
Damaris
She told us that she was.
Rory
Imagine that at the bar. I pissed on him once, but told.
Mal
Him it was squirt.
Rory
But to the extent.
Mal
Told him I was squirting.
Rory
It was. It was your. It was a tequila.
Julian
That was a whole different extent.
Rory
Tequila.
Julian
Tequila. Hilarious.
Rory
It had a line.
Julian
P is crazy. But that's just another layer of, like, lying. Like, saying, you I lied and I you is like, whatever. Saying I lied and we dated. That shit's crazy.

Rory
We do. There is an epidemic of people. People calling people exes when they're not. That needs to stop.
Mal
Yeah. No, I don't. Don't do that. I saw a friend of mine a couple weeks ago. I ran into her downtown. She's with her mom. And we started talking, and she introduced me to her mom or whatever. So mom was like, how do y'all know each other? And we met on social media, but I didn't know how to tell her mother that. I'm like, I wanted her to say it. And then she did the thing. She made it worse and looked at me. I'm like, why would you look at me when your mom just asked you a question? It's like you handed me the mic. Like, I don't. I don't want the mic right now. Like, I don't want to talk. But that's to what Julian saying? It's like kind of awkward to say you met on social media.
Damaris
Like, yeah, it's awkward to say we met on a dating app. I fuck once like that.
Julian
I don't think that's awkward. That's just. That's life.
Damaris
That's the life that you live. Not everybody regularly use lives that life, though Julie, the.
Julian
That did it with me dog does.
Mal
That's her life.
Julian
That's her life.
Mal
It's our life.
Julian
That was our shared moment.
Damaris
Okay, well, maybe some people don't want. Some people don't want them. Their friends knowing that they're on dating apps. Julian.
Mal
Nah, they. They know she. You know. You know, if your girlfriend is on a dating app, you know, if your home girl's on a dating app, don't do that. You know any of your home.
Damaris
When I downloaded a dating app, I ain't tell a soul why I was embarrassed.
Rory
Didn't people have.
Damaris
It's not anything to be embarrassed about. But I was embarrassed.
Mal
All right, but why were you embarrassed?
Damaris
Because I never thought that I would do something like that. It still isn't. It's not for Me?
Julian
Why?
Mal
Does it feel desperate to you? Is it like a. I didn't want.

No, but because I know that I'm not desperate, so I didn't feel desperate. I didn't want anybody else to assume that I was desperate.
