Transcript

[Rory]

No worry. And now I am the paint and.

[Maul]

I'm the brush and I'm the canvas. I am a saint, but if you touch.

[Rory]

I am a savage.

[Maul]

I am a Libra, but I identify as a cancer. I am the tongue, truth and the lie both in tandem. I am the sun and I'm the rain and I'm the wind. I am for real and I pretend. I am Musa. I am Jesus, I am Judas.

[Rory]

I am the judge, I am the.

[Maul]

Victim and I'm the shooter. I'm in the Torah and the Quran.

[Rory]

And in the Bible.

[Maul]

I am a shepherd. I am a leader and a disciple. I am the wretched and the blessed. I am the average. I am the shadow and I'm the light. I am the marriage.

[Rory]

I'm a work of art.

[Maul]

And we're back, Rory.

[Rory]

We are. Listen, fresh off of Amtrak.

[Maul]

We've been global. Like, when is. When. When are we going to have time to not be around each other? Like, I feel like I see you every day of my life.

[Rory]

We don't, though, because I see you when we record. This is the first weekend I think we've seen each other.

[Maul]

No, listen, I see you when we record, right? Then when we're not recording, we're posting clips.

[Rory]

That's true.

[Maul]

So see you then. Then, like, we're texting. So I see your name.

[Rory]

That's true.

[Maul]

And then, like, we was with each other this weekend. We had a show in Philly. Shout out to everybody that came out to Philly City Winery. Thank you. Had a great time.

[Rory]

Philly was amazing.

[Maul]

Philly was amazing. And then saw you in D.C. for Broccoli City.

[Rory]

Not really, though. I think I ran into you once, but I.

[Maul]

No, no, we ran into you.

[Rory]

I saw Sexyy Red more than I saw you at the festival.

[Maul]

No, we saw each other, but it was kind of like, in passing. I like the saw each other at the festival. Shout out to everybody that came to broccoli City in D.C. this past weekend. It was amazing. Shout out to the team, Broccoli City. Shout out to Brandon. Shout out to Drew. Thank you for the hospitality. It was a great, great, great weekend.

[Rory]

I got. I have a newfound. Well, I always respected you, but I have a newfound respect for how you move in public.

[Maul]

Why is that?

[Rory]

I don't really want to splash, so I'm not going to give too much information.

[Maul]

See, when you start doing like this, I get scared. What does that mean? You have a newfound respect for how I move in public?

[Rory]

I mean, your Riz is a little different than mine.

[Maul]

Wait, all right. What is my Riz. But see, I like. I like these type of conversations because it's always good to hear somebody else's perception and. And point of view.

[Julian]

And also, you can't have Riz right now. You have a kid and a baby, like a girl. Like, you can, but you still have Rizz.

[Rory]

They're part of this story, though.

[Maul]

You. You could have Riz.

[Rory]

So I'm with Kia and Amara. First day of Broccoli City, and we run into mall at, like, the. You know, go backstage. Don't go backstage area.

[Maul]

Yeah. That's all you heard.

[Rory]

He's there with somebody, and I'm. So no matter what. Like, when I'm with someone, I have to introduce them because I don't have it like that. You, on the other hand, have them. You have them trained. You didn't even introduce. It was just awkward, all of us conversing and, like, you just had that person to the side. Like, she wouldn't even allowed to talk.

[Maul]

Who? I don't even. Was they with me? You sure the person was with me?

[Rory]

Yeah. Even both commented as we left. Like, damn, that was awkward. Should we have said hello to her?

[Julian]

That's never a good move, mom, if what Rory's saying is true and he's not embellished.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm really not embellished. Maybe she wasn't with you, but she was standing.

[Maul]

Yeah, see, he. But I think he put like, a strap thing on me or something.

[Rory]

No, no, you walked up together, and then she stopped while we were all conversing and, like, I was doing the weird double Dutch thing in my head of, like, should I should. I should. But it's like, mall should be introducing her to me.

[Julian]

100.

[Maul]

Oh, that probably was my homegirl Simone. She had the hat on.

[Rory]

No, no hat. Short hair. She was cute.

[Maul]

No hat, short hair.

[Julian]

But mall, you got a. That's. You're. You're supposed to break the. Not even the awkwardness. Just. It's like human decency.

[Maul]

Just. I don't know.

[Rory]

He got him strained. Like, they can't. I don't even allow his girls to talk.

[Maul]

Julian.

[Rory]

That's how ill he is.

[Maul]

Julian, I don't even know if this.

[Julian]

Get me some broccoli.

[Maul]

Like, I don't even know if this woman was with me, though. I'm trying to figure out who he's talking about.

[Rory]

You guys had the appropriate amount of space for me to assume that she was with you.

[Maul]

No, but it's like, one more foot.

[Rory]

And I would have assumed Maybe she was just there.

[Maul]

But it was a festival. Everybody was kind of close.

[Rory]

But she stopped. Like when we met past.

[Julian]

She stopped when you parted ways. Did she then go back to mall? Like, what was the body?

[Rory]

No, me and Kia went that way and we had our back to them at that point.

[Julian]

You didn't turn around and double check. I would have checked.

[Maul]

Probably was my homegirl, Simone. That was the only, like, girl I was walking around with. She was like, I'm just jealous.

[Rory]

I don't have it like that.

[Maul]

No, that's. That's my homegirl. That don't. That don't count.

[Rory]

What you mean? I got it. My girl has a name, opinions. She participates in the conversation. I'm pussy.

[Julian]

She votes.

[Maul]

Like, yo. No, just go ahead. Just take it on. She can vote. It's your friends now. Yeah, these are your friends now. I'm going to put this out there. I will be at Broccoli City every year from now on.

[Rory]

It's a great festival.

[Maul]

I will be by far one of my favorites. That was one of the best festivals. I didn't go to day two. I left the day of day two. Was that Sunday. I left Sunday morning.

[Rory]

I had a babysitter for the second day. I was in my bag. Oh, I was running around.

[Maul]

Oh, so you was. Oh, you. You was festive. You were festive Sunday, yes.

[Rory]

Saturday I was the family man.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah.

[Julian]

Just.

[Rory]

Just chilling in the Heineken Lounge away from all the. The nonsense. Yeah, but Sunday, no, I was festivaling on Sunday.

[Julian]

Did you bring the bag? Your cross body bag? The festival?

[Rory]

I did not know.

[Julian]

Damn.

[Maul]

You need a crossbody bag at a.

[Rory]

Festival, Roy and I was replaced with a diaper bag.

[Julian]

Rory and I look like a gay couple when we go to festivals together because we both have the cross body.

[Rory]

Yeah, they come in handy, man.

[Julian]

They're great.

[Maul]

It's. Listen, I'm. I'm. I'm at the. Listen, I'm. I'm in my phone currently looking for a nice.

[Rory]

I figured you would have had a supreme one.

[Maul]

Or like Biggs. Biggs. He had a fly one and I had to hit him like a couple weeks ago. Like, yo, what crossbody bags that you had?

[Julian]

Because you always carry that Louis one.

[Maul]

But you have to physically hold it.

[Julian]

You're not hands free with it.

[Maul]

I'm off that. It's almost. It's time, bro. I'm at that point where it's like, yo, I gotta. I give in. You need a charger. You need like, you know, like some hand sanitizer. You need your weed. You know I gotta have my weed. Like, you need. You need things, man. I don't like to put everything in my pockets, man.

[Rory]

And not to be more misogynistic, but men are way more efficient when we have the small bag compared to women with a purse.

[Maul]

Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

Like, they carry purses and have no purpose. There's not a portable charger in there. There's not chapstick in there. What the fuck are you. When I get my little purse, I. I have snacks in there. I have everything.

[Maul]

Yeah, women carry purses, and they almost don't know what's in there.

[Julian]

It's like receipts and tampons.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like, they don't even know we're not.

[Julian]

Doing shit with that.

[Maul]

From Walgreens, receipts everywhere. You didn't even see that in three months.

[Rory]

Like, why gum us?

[Maul]

We know what we got. Our char phone. Maybe some gum, some weed if we smoke. Maybe if you want to keep a small bottle of cologne because you smoked and you want. I don't know, shit like that. We get right to it. Very simple. But I'm at the. I'm at that point where I think I need a crossbody.

[Rory]

I mean, you'll be in full festival mode when you start putting your credentials, like, on the actual. That's when you're in full festival.

[Maul]

I'm scared of that. But for Broccoli City, I'll do it.

[Rory]

Put your flash pass on there.

[Maul]

Yeah, for Broccoli City. Listen, let me tell you something. I have. It was so many beautiful women.

[Rory]

Jesus.

[Maul]

I have never seen that many pretty women at a festival in my life. I'm gonna be honest. I've been to Coachella. Coachella's pretty women there. But it's like. It's. It's some booger wolves. It's some booger wolves scattered in there, too, though.

[Julian]

But that's, like the. The essence of, like, Coachella just skews a little more earthy. Like, what?

[Rory]

I feel like it's skewed now more to, like, the LA girl transplant. That's the type of girls I feel like are there now. It used to be earthy. Now it's trendy.

[Julian]

True. Yeah. Now it's.

[Rory]

Rockley City has the cool, pretty women, like, down to earth.

[Maul]

Julian. You wouldn't have liked it. You got to go to Cauliflower City. You can't go. You can't go. You got to go to Couscous City. You can't go. Broccoli City is not your thing. You would have been upset Ready to leave, ready to go home for sure. But the lineup was great. The, the performances were great from day one. I didn't go to day two. I'll let Rory speak for day two, but day one, I'm not gonna lie, man, I got a wild take about Party Next Door.

[Julian]

Okay, What?

[Maul]

Party Next Door, while he doesn't have. He doesn't have the big records that Future has, but he does have a better stage performance than Future.

[Rory]

I don't know if I've ever seen Future live, so I can't call it, but Party was great at Barkley City. I was pretty shocked at how good perform he was. He sounded like the record.

[Maul]

I was so surprised cuz I seen Party in live before. But seeing him at Broccoli City, that set he did, I was totally like. I was actually surprised that he sounded that good. The stage show, the dancers, the band. Like he has a better live performance, a better stage performance than Future. He doesn't have the big, big, big records that Future has. Yeah, but his stage performance is better than Future stage performance.

[Rory]

But he, I mean, not to say of course Future has cult classics outside of just big records. But Hardy has that real specific fan base.

[Maul]

That is, he got cold class.

[Rory]

That's what I'm saying.

[Maul]

Cause joints he was performing was like 12. I was looking like, yo, this came out in 2013, like the joints he was. And it was going crazy.

[Julian]

Yeah, that's good to hear. Because sometimes with artists that have a sound, at least from my experience, similar to Party, it doesn't translate well in a live show because it's too mellow. It's too like, I gotta light candles, like, smoke some, Be like on a couch with a girl or something like that. Live is a tough transition.

[Maul]

And I was, I was surprised that it came off the way it did at Broccoli City because like you said, Pardi's catalog is very niche. It's very, you know, it's very specific. So it was interesting to see him at a festival. Get that off. But you know, D.C. is different. The crowd, the ladies knew every Party record. The fellas knew every party record. The band sounded amazing. I was really happy to see Pardi on the stage doing what he doing his set because he really surprised me. He's grown, he's grown a lot as a live performer. So shout out to Pardi. His set was really dope. If you haven't seen Pardi, he's on tour right now too, I believe. So if you haven't seen him live, check him out. His stage show is amazing. Like, he did his thing at Broccoli City.

[Rory]

I figured he was gonna bring you out. I was waiting for, ladies and gentlemen, OVO Mall.

[Maul]

Why?

[Rory]

And, like, just the crowd. Ladies and gentlemen, adjust your hat and.

[Maul]

Then go off the stage. Right? Like, look, what, y'all want me to go on stage and do some dumb.

[Rory]

Someone snitched on you on the second day.

[Maul]

Somebody snitched.

[Rory]

And it really made me laugh.

[Maul]

Somebody snitched, and it's on camera.

[Rory]

So I did an interview with R B only Shout out to that platform. They posted my music all the time, so.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

It's happy to do an interview with them.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

And the last question was, what's your favorite song to sing in the shower? I was like, oh, that's a good question. I don't really know off the top of my head. And then the woman that was interviewing me said, well, your partner Maul's favorite shower song is Brent F's Trust.

[Maul]

That's.

[Rory]

That said Mall in the shower.

[Maul]

Trust. That's a. That's a jam, though. That's not like a ballad. That's not a ballad. That's a bop, man. That's not a ballad.

[Rory]

I didn't picture you in the shower, but the idea of you singing Brent in the shower is hilarious.

[Maul]

Trust y'all don't.

[Rory]

Like, I started laughing on camera to the point that we had to pause the interview first.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

No, I couldn't stop laughing about you.

[Maul]

That's my shower. That's my.

[Julian]

You getting in the shower. And the first thing that plays is either you down or you ain't.

[Maul]

Yeah. Sometimes you got to tell a body wash that you got.

[Julian]

You're either riding or you can't. Yeah.

[Maul]

Like, what you doing?

[Rory]

Are you conditioner? Are you shampooing?

[Maul]

Oh, yeah. I don't even know. The label fell off in the shower. I don't know what this is right now. I'm putting on my body, but two in one. Yeah.

[Rory]

That did make me laugh, though.

[Maul]

It was a good time at Broccoli City, man. I think I'm gonna go every year. I'm gonna be honest with you. Shout out to Meg. Oh, my God. We can't. We. How can we? How can we not? I mean, listen, man, everybody was so shocked and laughing every time I said, listen, I'm here to see Meg Thee stallion. Everybody thought I was joking. I never saw Meg perform live, so I was happy to get a chance to see her at Broccoli City live. And she did not disappoint I mean, I was distracted.

[Julian]

The fit is awesome.

[Rory]

Did she play music?

[Maul]

Because I was fam dog. Listen.

[Rory]

I was zoned out in my own world.

[Maul]

Meg looked at the visual show.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

You know, listen, visually, the visuals were stunning. It was stunning. She looked.

[Rory]

The pyro went nuts.

[Maul]

Oh, my God. The elements, the fire, the pyro.

[Rory]

She.

[Maul]

She looked great, man. Yeah. Oh, I got it. But the only thing is, I can't. When she said, where my hotties? You can't make noise as a man.

[Rory]

No, I was.

[Maul]

And I felt left out because it's like, well, Meg, I'm here to see you too. But I'm not a hottie.

[Rory]

I was a hottie that night. Just for that night, though.

[Maul]

She looks so good. Jesus Christ.

[Rory]

You weren't there for the second day, but Victoria Monet.

[Maul]

Oh, I mean, when she took off the.

[Rory]

The trench coat.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Me and Keith was both sitting there because she came out of trench for like, the first two songs, and we're like, we just waiting to see. Till she ripped that off, because I know she got that on.

[Maul]

Take the trench off.

[Rory]

It didn't disappoint either.

[Julian]

Oh, my God. It's a great fit.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was. I felt kind of like a creep at Broccoli City.

[Julian]

Take it off.

[Rory]

Between Meg and Victoria.

[Maul]

Take it off. Yeah. Meg looked great. Oh, man. Meg sounded great. Victoria looked great too. But, you know, we. We saw Victoria at. Was that made?

[Rory]

Yeah, Made America.

[Julian]

That was great.

[Maul]

And she. She. She did an amazing job. Victoria Monet is. She's definitely one of the most talented artist that we have in the industry right now, for sure, as a writer, vocally, the music, the stage show, the dancer visuals, the videos, she's. Victoria Monet is a. Is one of the most complete artists that we probably have in the industry today.

[Julian]

This is great because, remember, we said this at Made in America, she took the stage when the sun was up and we were like, it's too early for her to be up there. This music would be so much better if it was nighttime. It looks like at Broccoli, she took the stage at 8:20, shortly after sundown. So she got a night set. So that's. That's awesome.

[Maul]

Yeah. Her and Meg.

[Julian]

This looks incredible.

[Maul]

Meg heading. So she had a night set too. That Meg song. What's her. What's her dis record?

[Julian]

Is it Hiss?

[Rory]

No, one of those.

[Maul]

Oh, I don't know the sample. Don't, don't.

[Rory]

I don't know the name. I know the song. You're talking About.

[Maul]

Don't.

[Rory]

It's not his.

[Maul]

No, that's not.

[Julian]

No, Bigfoot was the one that had her.

[Maul]

It was plan B. You know Plan B, Roy? I do.

[Rory]

Well, not anymore.

[Maul]

Well, not anymore, obviously. But when Meg did Plan B. Listen, ladies, women of the DMV area, I don't know what y'all going through, but y'all were in unison.

[Rory]

It's a good festival record, fam.

[Maul]

When that shit came on, I couldn't. Y'all the re the response to that. Every woman at the festival knew that song word for word.

[Julian]

I mean, the first lyric is dear fuck, nigga. Yeah.

[Maul]

Still can't believe I used to fuck with you. A girl was rapping that and looked at me and I didn't even know who she was. Ma'am, I don't know you. I've never met you.

[Rory]

It's to all men.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like, that's just like, as men, we just had to just get out the way and just go get some water or go smoke, do something. When Meg did Plan B. Because the entire Audi Field.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Every lady in that. In that festival knew that song word for word. It was dope. It was dope to see Meg get that off. The crowd was dope. Shout out to Broccoli City once again, man. It was a great time this weekend. Had a lot of fun in D.C.

[Rory]

Did you go to any of the after parties?

[Maul]

No, I didn't go to any.

[Rory]

You a party didn't shut the club down.

[Maul]

I wanted to go, so I saw Shout out to Lenny S. I bumped into Lenny. He told me about parties. After party that night.

[Rory]

Yeah, what Sean was doing.

[Maul]

Yeah. Shout out to Sean Dickinson.

[Julian]

You were in there?

[Rory]

I didn't go to any.

[Julian]

Damn. Really? Yeah, I saw Sean and you post each other, so I figured.

[Maul]

But I kind of had my own little after party at, like, the restaurant and the hotel I was staying at because Meg's dancers were staying there.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Maul]

So when I. When I went to go eat, they walked in and I recognized everyone's check. Yeah, I did. I bought them. I bought them. I bought them a sandwich. Whatever they ordered. Yeah, whatever they ordered, I picked it up for them.

[Julian]

I put it on with your room number on it.

[Maul]

No, no, no. Went outside, smoked with some of them. Like, we had a good time. Like, they did. They did their thing, though. They did a great job. So it was fun hanging out with them. And they were super cool. Those ladies were super cool. So Shout out to Meg's dances.

[Rory]

Similar happened to me. Broccoli City. Whenever solange headline like 2016 or 2017. We ended up staying in the same hotel as her dancers and band. I mean, I didn't buy anyone anything, but, you know, we all hung out and it was cool.

[Maul]

Yeah, no, you know, sometimes you 27.

[Rory]

Sometimes you gotta buy the guitar player a turkey sandwich. Yeah.

[Maul]

By the ladies battle ladies is something to eat in the glass of wine, man. It's all good. But it was a fun time, man. Broccoli City. Shout out to them. Once again, beautiful, beautiful event. The venue was dope. But I do realize you got to have a certain level of energy to be festive all day, because a lot of walking, a lot of different places at a venue. You got to get to different rooms, different sections. You gotta have your social battery, and you have to have the right sneakers on.

[Rory]

Oh, for sure. Yeah.

[Maul]

If you don't have.

[Rory]

This is all rookie shit.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, me and Julian been on this.

[Maul]

No, I had the right sneakers on. I had some New Balances on, so I had to write sneakers.

[Julian]

That's a good festival shoe.

[Maul]

Yeah, I had to write sneakers on. I was comfortable all day. But I did realize towards the end of Meg set, I was like, oh, you have to have a full battery. Come to a festival as far as.

[Rory]

Like, socially and be ready to small talk.

[Maul]

Yeah, you gotta. You gotta be ready for it. But it was a dope. It was a dope time, and I was really, really happy that I went.

[Rory]

Did you network at all? Did you get any, like, hey, let's work Meg's dancers.

[Maul]

I met a few. Yeah. I told Meg's dancers, let's. Let's work on some routines. I was like. I was like, you know, me and.

[Rory]

Rory, we gotta get Lincolnville with them.

[Maul]

Yeah, we gotta. Me and Rory gotta get a new routine for our live show. So, like, you know, help us, help us out. When I was leaving Sunday morning, I ran into Sexyy Red's choreographer. He was staying at the same hotel.

[Julian]

How did you identify him?

[Rory]

Did he introduce himself as that?

[Maul]

He walked up to me, he was like, yo, what's up, man? He was like, what's up, ma? He's like, yo, I'm Megs. Sorry, not Megs. I'm Sexyy Red's choreographer. And I was like, oh. I was like, so she made it. I was like. Cause it was talked yesterday at the. At the park that she might not make it out. Cause I think that the. I think Saturday she was in San Jose or San Diego somewhere performing, so people kind of felt like, she's not flying into D.C. tomorrow. But, yeah. Yeah. So he introduced herself, and that's when I was like, oh, shit. I was like, so sexy as here. And I see she did her thing, too. Yeah. Tina. Oh, the women was happy to see her at Broccoli City.

[Rory]

Damaris was out there. It's crazy that I saw you more than I saw Damaris. I was texting her. She didn't want to link. She told Damaris she wanted to enjoy the show together.

[Maul]

She was on a different type of time. And it's funny, because somebody told me, they was like, yo, can y'all take a picture together? So I turned and looked, and I was like. I didn't even know it was Damaris. Cause she had her shades on.

[Rory]

Yeah, she was looking.

[Maul]

The last time I saw Damaris, the hair was red. It wasn't this red.

[Julian]

Wait, it's not red anymore?

[Rory]

No.

[Maul]

No, it wasn't red. Well, it wasn't red Saturday. Unless I was just too high and didn't notice the red.

[Julian]

That was quick.

[Maul]

But I didn't even know who it was. I was like. I turned and looked. I was like, well, does she want to take a picture with me or did she act? I said, oh, that's Baby D. I was like. I didn't even recognize it was Damaris. I saw Damaris for five minutes Saturday. Five minutes and she was gone. And then she was supposed to meet me to get her passes and instead called me and called the audibles like, yeah, can you put them in an Uber for me? I was like, no problem, Damaris. I got you. I'll put your passes in the Uber. So I only saw Damaris for five minutes.

[Rory]

Well, now that I know you sing, Brent, the shower. I'm kind of shocked you didn't participate in the Bryson Tiller Trap Soul karaoke segment with Nitro.

[Maul]

You know, I. I wish I would have, because some of the people that went up there, I don't know which songs they were singing, but I was like, I could do better than this. But why didn't Bryson do a set?

[Rory]

I don't know.

[Maul]

I guess it was kind of a set. They were doing his songs, so I guess it's kind of.

[Rory]

So kind of sang along with some of them. But it was a cool idea.

[Maul]

Cool idea.

[Rory]

I liked it.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But I would never go up there and, like, karaoke is fun in, like, a bar. I'm not.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

How do you feel?

[Maul]

Howdy feel. No, that's too many. Way too many people looking up at you on stage for you to be up There making a fool out of yourself.

[Rory]

Yeah. Some people are right, though.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But no good weekend.

[Maul]

Shout out to J Alphonse. Ran into our guy, J Alphonse. He told me that he is. They are currently filming the next season of P. Valley, so I know all P. Valley fans will be happy to hear that. I'm looking forward to the next season as well. He was in his. He was in his full. Murder. Murder. Like, you know, he had the hair dyed. Yeah. I was like, okay. That's how, you know you on set for real. You gotta wear your hair a certain color. So he. He's filming the next season of P. Valley, so shout out to JL Fonts.

[Rory]

Yeah. Julian, we didn't see you for days.

[Julian]

It was great.

[Rory]

Your beard is broken.

[Maul]

It was great.

[Julian]

Yeah. One week. One week. The beard is already bad.

[Maul]

Yeah. I told you, when I walked in, I said, okay. I said, you don't look like a. You know.

[Julian]

Yeah. No.

[Maul]

You're not one of the Village People anymore.

[Julian]

Yeah. You know what?

[Rory]

I' Or a sex offender. Yeah.

[Maul]

You don't look like one of the Village People now. Now you look like a plumber. So it's okay.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Things like belong on a registry.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Julian]

I had a good weekend. Normal. I spent 90% of my weekend was watching the Olympics. I spent a lot of time watching the events. Other than that, friends from LA in town. Ali.

[Maul]

Shout out.

[Julian]

Ali. Clay. A lot of the. A couple of the. The Dreamville guys. It was just, you know, anytime they're in town, it's just like my Tuesday, Wednesday were long nights. I took the weekend kind of a little more chill.

[Rory]

So you're out till 4:00am Yeah, I had like a.

[Julian]

Was it a Tuesday or Wednesday night out to like 5am relapse is crazy.

[Rory]

Staying up till 4am these days is insane.

[Julian]

Well, it was. I took shrooms and got like a second wind and then I just couldn't go to sleep.

[Rory]

How'd you get that second wind?

[Julian]

The shrooms. That's what it was. Yeah.

[Rory]

Were they white, powdery shrooms?

[Julian]

Yeah. Snorting rooms is crazy.

[Maul]

White, powdery.

[Rory]

Were they cocaine flavored?

[Julian]

Flavored.

[Rory]

Came a little. This is investable.

[Julian]

I don't want to text you over the weekend because I knew you were like, down there and you were, like, busy all weekend, but I binged Presumed Innocence.

[Rory]

Oh, Greatest show. Greatest show of the year.

[Julian]

What a fucking show.

[Maul]

I got to start that.

[Julian]

Well, you got. I don't want to spoil you.

[Rory]

Binge it like this week. Like, we could talk about it.

[Julian]

Really talk about it more. It's so fudgeing. Good. It's very good.

[Maul]

Now I got to start it.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I have to. Somebody just told me about this last night. I was like, Rory's been telling me to start this shit.

[Julian]

I went home last week and crushed it. And I think two nights. Two nights. Yeah.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I did that with the bear, too. Now I'm pissed because they just put out season three and I finished all three seasons in like two days of the bear. Yeah. Now I like. They're filming the fourth one, which isn't gonna come out for years. But that. That show is incredible.

[Maul]

I gotta start Presumed Innocent. And I also gotta go see the new Deadpool Wolverine movie. I'm hearing great things about that.

[Rory]

Should we get into this Robert Downey Jr. Shit? I don't know if we're the right pod to do this because I'm like, admittedly so. I'm not.

[Maul]

I'm scared.

[Julian]

I'm not a Marvel guy, so I can't really speak on it.

[Rory]

He relapsed too, and did coke with Julian over the weekend.

[Julian]

I would. He might be someone I would relapse. That'd be fun. As I.

[Rory]

But you not like cocaine. When I tried it, I would 1000% do lines.

[Julian]

But didn't he do like heroin or something? He took it a little too far.

[Rory]

No, he's just, you know, when he does something, he does it all the way.

[Julian]

He's a method guy. Yeah. That's why. That's why we would get along.

[Rory]

So I apologize if I fucked this up because again, I don't really know about Marvel shit. Robert Downey Jr. Took Jonathan Major's gig. Is that what happened here?

[Julian]

I have no idea who was Dr. Doom before.

[Rory]

Again, if I screw this up, I apologize. But from my understanding, Robert Downey Jr. Even though he was Iron man, is now a new character called Doctor Doom.

[Maul]

So he's Doctor Doom and Avengers Doomsday releasing in 2026 and Avengers Secret wars in 2027.

[Rory]

If they don't use MF Doom songs to score that whole movie, then I'm not seeing that.

[Julian]

So, yeah, this was like one of the Marvel have to those Marvel, like, what do they call it? Comic Con things. And in that they released the next upcoming shows. So this is like him going from being the most loved superhero to now being like a new villain.

[Rory]

Got you.

[Julian]

I don't feel like. Because he's going to be wearing a mask the whole time. No. So who cares?

[Rory]

Iron Man.

[Julian]

He did too, I guess.

[Rory]

Didn't push A button in the whole.

[Maul]

But it's okay. I'm not the super, super comic guy, but does Doomsday ever take his mask off? I don't think so. Does he?

[Julian]

I mean, Dr. Dude.

[Rory]

Unless he's on.

[Maul]

I'm sorry.

[Julian]

I don't know. I think this is cool. Like, why not? And who the would say no to another Marvel bag?

[Rory]

Yeah, there's another half a billion.

[Maul]

He got two bags.

[Julian]

Yeah. Like, he's probably signed 50 mil to do these two films. Like, I would. I would jump on board, too, fam.

[Maul]

I would do. I would play every character in Marvel. I wouldn't give a fuck what people thought.

[Rory]

I'm not comparing shady past, but this is a topic we were having when the Jonathan Majors thing happened, of Marvel getting rid of him. When they have Robert Downey Jr. On their. Their cast as well. Yeah, but, like, where are we drawing the line?

[Maul]

Yeah, but this could. Listen, I understand Robert Downey Jr. S positioning, but this could. This might backfire and be a little corny, though.

[Rory]

How so?

[Maul]

In the movie, like, it's. It's like, bro, this is. This is Iron man, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, people can watch, like, cut. This. This is Iron Man. But again, I don't know how they're writing the story, what time they're telling it from. You know, maybe this is Iron Man's dad or something. I don't know, man. You know, like, you know how they write.

[Rory]

How many people are gonna kill us in the comments? Yeah, we're admitting we don't know about this.

[Maul]

I' saying I don't. You know, it's weird to see iron man as Dr. Doom now is all.

[Julian]

But, I mean, I understand the frustration from a fan perspective because you've established Robert Downey in this universe as forever Iron Man. So to get him reintroduced as someone that. And again, I don't know how much Dr. Doom in iron man if ever cross paths in the. In the comic books, but just pick someone else. Like, if I'm like, a God Die Hard fan, I'm like, just get a different guy.

[Maul]

Right?

[Julian]

Why make it someone that I've fallen in love with over, like, these three other films, five other films, including, like, the Infinity wars on other shit. Like, just pick someone else because technically Iron Man's dead, right?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

What? What? That's. See, that's the.

[Julian]

So I get it. Like, he's up for grabs, but just pick a different guy.

[Maul]

Yeah, I think it just. It's easier to just cast a different actor.

[Rory]

I mean, we've seen worse in the Many Saints of Newark. To keep Ray Liotta in it, they all of a sudden made him have a twin brother who was also Ray Liotta. I was like, david Chase, you are one of the most brilliant minds that we know in TV history. You came up with the identical twin thing to raise. We just kill them off and that's it.

[Julian]

We know enough about. At least have a peripheral understanding of, like, film and TV on the back end. Someone that's on the production team, the casting team. Like, he obviously has a very strong relationship with someone in the.

[Rory]

Well.

[Julian]

Well, because he also already did it.

[Rory]

The first sentence on his Wikipedia. His films as a leading actor have grossed 14 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest grossing actors of all time. So I guess I can kind of see.

[Julian]

Yeah. And, like, I think he's, like, he had no.

[Maul]

Matter of fact, Robert Downey is the victim here. He had no choice but to take this word he's locked in for.

[Julian]

This is a good marketing tactic because at the very least, like, a character that I wouldn't. Would never have cared to go to the theaters to see. I don't give a shit about Doom, asshole, whatever the fuck his name is. Now that it's him, like, I can see how people would go and hate watch this and be like, I want to see it now, because. Oh, yeah, what's going on? Why is it him? Do they show his face? Like they're gonna go and have all these questions?

[Maul]

Yeah, I really.

[Julian]

I honestly don't give a. About any of this stuff.

[Maul]

So it's. No, it is gonna be weird, though, like. Because we know now, like, that's Rob. That's. That's Iron man, bro. Yeah, get it. But he might. He might be. He might be a lifer for Marvel. He might not have no choice but to take this.

[Julian]

It's funny that this came out over the weekend because I think it was Thursday during the day, because again, we didn't record that day. You guys were gone for the show in Philly, I was in bed hungover, and I ended up watching Tropic Thunder.

[Maul]

Classic.

[Julian]

Just one of my favorite Robert Downey roll classic movie, but it's really one.

[Rory]

Of the greatest movies.

[Julian]

Literally.

[Maul]

This switch.

[Julian]

That video could never exist. That movie. That movie could never exist today.

[Maul]

It's a fucking classic. That movie is a bona fide classic.

[Rory]

What makes it even greater is that they did the DVD commentary with all of them, and Robert Downey Jr. Stayed in character. He's the character, like Ben Stiller's. Ben Stiller. Jack Black is Jack black. Robert Downey Jr. Stayed in character.

[Maul]

Yeah. That's a classic movie. This. It was.

[Julian]

I. If you haven't watched. If you haven't. If you haven't watched in a while, please revisit it. I was crying, laughing, just like alone in my bed. Like, this is what a yo.

[Maul]

Look at that picture.

[Rory]

I could watch this movie every day. It would never get old.

[Julian]

That's black face.

[Rory]

It's the definition of it.

[Julian]

It's like, it's like a triple threat. This movie has blackface. It has extreme, like, anti Asian hate.

[Maul]

Anti Asian hate.

[Rory]

And then it's also somebody in blackface said, never go full retard.

[Julian]

Full retard moment.

[Rory]

The theme song to the Jeffersons.

[Maul]

I love this movie, man. I love. I don't. They better not ever try to cancel this movie. I love this movie.

[Julian]

Like, this is what is.

[Maul]

Yo. This is existing, you simple Jack.

[Julian]

Bending Jack.

[Maul]

Who wrote Tropic?

[Rory]

I have no idea.

[Maul]

I never knew who wrote this movie. Never.

[Rory]

Tom Cruise is in it.

[Maul]

No. This is one of the greatest movies ever.

[Julian]

Ben Stiller directed it.

[Maul]

Of course he did.

[Julian]

That's incredible story by Ben Stiller and Justin Throw.

[Maul]

Wow.

[Julian]

Nice.

[Maul]

So this is just Ben Stiller 6.

[Julian]

This is Ben Stiller.

[Maul]

Okay. Shout out to Ben Stiller, the legend, man.

[Rory]

I mean, he was right, you know, I love all the meet the parents, but those are all like, popcorn safe, good comedies. This is probably what Ben Stiller really thinks.

[Maul]

Yeah, this is. This has been still, like, letting us really know.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

How he feels.

[Rory]

His parents encouraged him to actually go out and do this.

[Maul]

100.

[Julian]

Yeah. All right.

[Maul]

So the Olympics got under the underway this weekend. Yeah, sort of opening ceremonies. Shout out to Team USA, Coco Golf and LeBron being the flag bearers.

[Julian]

One of the hardest photos ever.

[Maul]

Yeah. That boat that they had was how many athletes we have? 590 something like that. Olympic athletes. And in France. France had, I think 570something. Their boat was. Their boat was a little nicer than.

[Rory]

The US Why I love the Olympics is before going into Broccoli City, we stopped at a bar, like, to get food and a drink before going into the festival grounds. And it was like 100 people surrounding a bar, looking at a big screen, watching ping pong.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like the biggest screen that they would do the super bowl party on. And it's just people glued to ping pong.

[Maul]

Olympics is the Olympic time is some of the best.

[Julian]

The best.

[Maul]

It's the best.

[Julian]

It's really the best.

[Maul]

Whenever it happens. I saw a clip that. I don't know if it's real. Is there such thing as an Olympic event called? Is it. Was it contact juggling? They were like, juggling.

[Rory]

No, but can we please Google it, bro?

[Maul]

Y'all didn't see that. I was like, there's no way this is an Olympic event.

[Rory]

It's. Does it derive from, like, jesters or something?

[Maul]

No, they're like. I don't know what they're doing, but they're juggling. It's a bunch of people inside of a pit and they're juggling, but then they're running around, like, hitting each other. And I'm just like, there's no way. This is. Because I. I think things like that, like, we might still have a shot at the Olympics. Rory, I think we should find. We can find, like, those type of, like, you know, I mean, like, sports where it's like, oh, we could do this. Like, we could. This we can do.

[Rory]

Do you ever think about, like, what your midlife crisis may end up being besides podcasting? Like, what you're going to really hone in on? I think about. Roller derby's one of mine, but now that I see contact juggling, that might be my midlife crisis.

[Maul]

I haven't thought about it. I haven't thought about it. But contact juggling, I'm telling you, if you. See, this is not contact juggling. This is. I don't know what. Julian. Julian is the worst.

[Rory]

Wait, how'd she just catch that shit?

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Julian]

I don't know, but this is still pretty impressive.

[Rory]

This. What?

[Maul]

Jesus. Do that.

[Julian]

She has no spine.

[Maul]

Yeah, that we know. Yeah.

[Rory]

Is it weird that I'm turned on?

[Maul]

Yes.

[Rory]

Okay, Sorry.

[Maul]

Just to answer your question, it's very weird.

[Rory]

I mean, look at the way she's moving.

[Maul]

Simone Biles. I saw her do some shit that nobody else has ever done the other night.

[Rory]

That woman is a superhero.

[Maul]

She did.

[Rory]

She should play Dr. Doom.

[Maul]

She did a triple backflip and landed it with a hurt calf. Like, it was like she had just jumped off the bed. It was nothing. Just a regular day at the office for Simone Biles.

[Rory]

Crazy.

[Maul]

Incredible.

[Julian]

Jesus Christ. My knees would snap immediately. As soon as I hit the ground, my knees are just cooked.

[Rory]

And what's the one, like, where they run around, like, the area.

[Julian]

Oh, on the floor routine. The area.

[Rory]

You know what I'm talking about.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Those women are so talented.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

The. That they do. Just running around. Super insane.

[Maul]

Super athletes. Is Tag Olympic sport yet?

[Rory]

It should be.

[Julian]

I don't think so. But there is a professional tag that.

[Maul]

Looks league, that looks fun. As soon as they have manhunt and Olympics, I'm in. I'm letting y'all know now.

[Julian]

I watched this morning. I watched the skateboarding, it was freestyle. And then the, the tricks. It was, it was great. Us took second silver and bronze, which was, it was exciting. But I was saying before we started recording, surfing has been my newfound favorite Olympic sport. And it's insane.

[Maul]

I'm not see at that.

[Julian]

The water and insane. They're in Tahiti and it is, I mean it's like 10,000 miles in Paris.

[Maul]

200 foot waves.

[Julian]

The waves are so it's cool because like obviously nature is like the, that plays the biggest role in that event. And on some days, like the first two days of competition is, spans over four days, the waves are about two meters. Today they were three. So the three meters, just shy of.

[Rory]

Ten would be the guy that uses the metric system.

[Julian]

This is what the world uses.

[Maul]

Not in America.

[Rory]

In America.

[Julian]

So it's just shy of 10ft. You did track, you know, the metric system?

[Rory]

Sort of.

[Julian]

Yeah. So these waves are just shy. And like today in particular, like boards are snapping like people are. And it's because there's a shallow coral reef beneath the break point. So when they're done with their runs, that's why you'll see some of the, the surfers with helmets on. Someone, a woman, cracked her head open on the coral reef, got back on her board and finished her run. Because each, each heat is a half hour.

[Rory]

So they're absolutely. Blue Crush.

[Julian]

It's ins. This I, I, it's almost done. If you're watching it, like, check it out. It's crazy. I love it.

[Maul]

What a. Usa, USA men's basketball team. They won their first game. I think they played Serbia.

[Julian]

Yes, great game, Serbia.

[Maul]

But the talk of the game was obviously Kevin Durant his return. I was giving Team USA some, some when they had like close games during the exhibition and I didn't realize that Katie wasn't playing yet.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

And then I did say once and.

[Rory]

Then just reminded us that he's one of the greatest players that's ever existed.

[Maul]

Once he played, I was like, oh no, it's going to make difference in the world once you have Kevin Durant out there. And in his first game against Serbia, Kevin Durant did not disappoint at all.

[Julian]

He missed one shot.

[Maul]

Missed one shot.

[Julian]

Last shot of the game.

[Maul]

20, 26, 28.

[Julian]

I think he had 23. LeBron had 21, so. But he was a leading scorer, so.

[Maul]

Yeah, that Kevin Durant. Thank you for just proving me right. I knew he would be the difference maker. But the story of that game obviously was Jason Tatum not playing at all.

[Rory]

Champion, champion.

[Julian]

Him and Halliburton both sat the bench.

[Maul]

Current world NBA world champion. No allows that. Probably laugh at that. But the current, current NBA champion Jason Tatum did not play a single minute. And a lot of people have been kind of like expressing their disagreements with that decision to coach Steve Kerr and Eric Spoelstra on why they didn't and put Jason Tatum in the game. But I think it's simple, man. I think when you have, you know, somebody, somebody's gonna be left out. Everybody's not gonna play every game. It's tough to kind of, you know, look down the bench and see some of the best players in the NBA. But the team you have on the floor, they got it, they got it going. They got nice rhythm, nice chemistry. And of course, you don't want to disrespect anybody and have them on the bench during the Olympics when in the NBA they would, you know, probably top 10, top 15 players in the league. But it's just, I think it was just one of those games that, you know, it's just like, listen, Kevin Durant was out there. He had it, he had it going his first game back, you know, I.

[Julian]

Mean, KD came off the bench.

[Rory]

Yeah, I hear what you're saying. Most of the bench played about 20 minutes.

[Maul]

Played 20 minutes.

[Julian]

Yeah. I played 16.

[Rory]

He was, everyone else was around of.

[Julian]

The starters in B, Steve Kerr.

[Maul]

What the are you doing?

[Rory]

Now that I look at the minutes.

[Maul]

You gave Derrick White 16 minutes, but Jason Tatum didn't get in.

[Julian]

Derek White had a great block.

[Maul]

That block. They didn't need that block like they need to Tatum out there, man. But you know, I get it though. It is tough to kind of find minutes for everybody. But God damn, if Derrick White could get 16, I mean, he not getting minutes over Jason on his team in NBA like they teammates, he's not playing more minutes than Jason said. But I, you know, I think, I think that Jason Tatum will obviously see his time on the court and you know, as long as the USA gets the job done, which I hope they do now that Kevin Durant is playing and he's healthy, I, I, I don't know, I think the experiences be worth it. But Jason Tatum, I do understand him being pissed off and wanting to play, especially now seeing that Derrick White has 16 minutes. Steve Kerr, get it together, man.

[Julian]

I think after the game, Kerr was asked about it because both Tatum and Halliburton were benched. And Kerr just said, it just didn't fit our rotations that we were running at the time. It just didn't make sense. And obviously everything worked out, so we' Everything could change moving forward.

[Maul]

It worked out. They got the win. You know, Derek, I'm sure Jason Tatum wanted to play. Obviously, everybody wants to play. But, you know, I guess he's probably like, listen, we got more games. First game of the Olympics, you know, I'm pretty sure Steve Kerr definitely. Well, he has to. He will find time for Jason. Yeah.

[Rory]

Track starts what, August 1st, I believe.

[Maul]

I think. I think track started already.

[Julian]

Not yet, it didn't. No.

[Rory]

Yeah. August 1st to the 11th is what it says here. But, yeah, again, this is like, my favorite time of year when. When Summer Games are going.

[Julian]

This moment from Braun, I mean, just seeing him just, like, head down, just like blackout, and just, like, take out three players on his layup and then just flex this. That photo that. Whoever got that great photo of him doing that. Yeah, just.

[Rory]

Do we think Dwayne Wade.

[Julian]

Incredible.

[Rory]

Purposely not trolling, per se. I wouldn't call it that. But did Dwyane Wade know what he was doing by tweeting? His pronouns are he, him.

[Julian]

Did you. Did you watch the game? He was on the call, so he was talking the whole game. I'm sorry. I love Dwyane Wade. He. It's not. He should.

[Rory]

Not his thing.

[Julian]

It's not his thing. It was not good commentating. It's not. It's not good.

[Rory]

Just setting up the Internet to reply to that tweet. I just feel like maybe run it by your social media manager.

[Maul]

So he tweeted that his pronouns are he, him.

[Julian]

Like, LeBron would do a play like this, and he goes. He called him he, him. And then, like, for Bam, out of bio, he was like. He said this. Like, this is the thing. He would repeat the same things. He'd be like, his. His mom calls him Bam, so I'ma call him Bam. He said that, like, five times.

[Maul]

Oh, yeah. No, that's kind of like when Jason Tatum, when they won, like, regurgitating everything that former champion said. Like, we know that's Mark Jackson. That's Mark Jackson's slang right there. Don't do that.

[Rory]

Yeah, No, I think you should leave that alone.

[Maul]

As long as they get the. Get the gold, man. That's all that matters. Get the gold or don't come back. Stay over there.

[Rory]

I think they'd have no problem staying in person when Fashion Week again. I'm sure they'll be there anyways.

[Maul]

Listen, Braun, y'all, if y'all don't get that goal, stay y'all asses over there, man, don't come back.

[Julian]

And at the time of this recording, we currently, as a country have three golds, eight silvers, and nine bronze, for a total of. Of 20 metals.

[Rory]

That's America, right?

[Julian]

Number one in the medal count, but we are not number one in gold, so we gotta. We gotta bump it up.

[Rory]

Still early.

[Maul]

Yeah, still early.

[Julian]

Plenty to go.

[Rory]

And I feel like if we win the Golden Basketball, however many people are on the roster, we should get that in the gold count. Yeah, that shouldn't be one to me.

[Julian]

It should be 15.

[Rory]

It should be 15 gold medals.

[Maul]

Yeah. Because they all. They all played a part. Yeah.

[Julian]

Except Tatum.

[Maul]

Except Tatum. Yeah. He didn't play at all.

[Rory]

It's not even an Olympic thing. But when. When did the shift happen where Paris became, like, Miami? How do all of you guys have this much money? People just go to Paris now, like, for the weekend.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Where are people getting all this money?

[Maul]

You know where of sk.

[Julian]

Of? Yeah.

[Maul]

Only fans. You know what it. You know where they're getting the money from?

[Rory]

Man, When I was younger, it was. Everyone just did the Miami trip.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Now every girl I know is in Paris all the time. All the time.

[Julian]

It's a much cooler trip.

[Maul]

Working. You gotta work. Okay. A lot of athletes over there. You know what it is? You know what time it is. It's still.

[Rory]

I was talking with Sean this weekend. Sean sometimes visits America.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

He's in Paris all the time.

[Maul]

Gotta love it.

[Rory]

And everyone from LA is just living in Paris as well. Where are you guys getting this money? It made sense during the pandemic because everyone was scamming. I got it. I understood that.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

The PB loan, they have dried up. Or you've been arrested.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

How are you all going to Paris every weekend?

[Maul]

I don't know, but I did. I did like the fact that I saw some people out there that are, like, real sports fans. I was like, that got to be a dope thing to be able to go to the Olympics and just see a bunch of different sporting events. Like, that has to be fine. It's in LA in 28, right?

[Julian]

Yeah. Yeah. The environment during the. Speaking of that. And like, the sports fans, the environment during the USA game against Serbia was crazy, because you could tell everyone was just excited to watch LeBron Curry, Katie. Like, every country people of all over the world was just wearing different NBA jerseys. Just like.

[Maul]

Well, it's still Team USA as far as basketball.

[Julian]

They were just all happy to be there.

[Maul]

That is the team to beat.

[Rory]

Despite what Kendrick thinks. We do love the west coast, but the Olympics in LA sounds like a fucking nightmare. That sounds like the worst idea ever.

[Maul]

Yeah. You know, it's part of that deal for that new stadium and everything. That was part.

[Rory]

Yeah, I remember.

[Maul]

But the Soviet.

[Rory]

That was really just a bid for the Olympics. They didn't give a fuck about the Rams. That was for the Olympics.

[Maul]

Yeah. So, yeah, I don't. That's a scary.

[Rory]

Like, at least with the super bowl in New York and FIFA coming to Jersey. Like, it's Jersey.

[Maul]

It's Jersey.

[Rory]

So there's space. It's not in the city.

[Maul]

Right.

[Rory]

That stadium is in Inglewood.

[Maul]

Yeah, it's gonna. That's gonna be a nightmare. As far as the people that I'm. I'm pretty sure a lot of people that live around the stadium, they're leaving during the Olympics. I would. I wouldn't. I wouldn't want to be in town for the Olympics if I live right now.

[Rory]

There's a lot of people that have to check in. That's gonna be a busy month.

[Maul]

Almost like the airport. Like, yo, where you from? Where you going? Like, yo, I just left. No, no, no. This is a different tsa.

[Rory]

Like, imagine, like, the Hoovers running out on Team Japan.

[Maul]

Yeah, where y'all from? Where we from?

[Julian]

Like, it says we're all wearing matching jeans. Or literally say exactly where I'm holding the flag.

[Maul]

Yo, but yo, blood's running down on the Japanese national team. Like, yo, where y'all from?

[Rory]

If. If they don't give whack 100 the American flag for opening ceremony, then Whack.

[Maul]

Has to be a flag bearer.

[Rory]

He has to. It's gotta be whack 100 and big hit to bring in the country.

[Maul]

Has to be a flag bearer for the 2028 Olympics in LA.

[Julian]

Olympic. I mean, LA. Have you guys. I mean, I literally spend most of my weekend. Snoop Dogg has been everywhere running around Paris.

[Maul]

This is what I'm trying to tell you.

[Julian]

He's been on every couch.

[Maul]

You don't even know what Snoop is doing. He gonna bring that torch from Paris.

[Julian]

This is him at the Baby's Day. So the. This.

[Rory]

That was me at Broccoli City.

[Julian]

This. The men's swimming final a couple days ago. And then this morning, I'm watching the skateboard Final. He's there briefly with, like, a 27 person entourage. Like, every time I look at an event, there's a Snoop Dogg cam.

[Rory]

And who is that woman?

[Julian]

That was the wife of the guy swimming.

[Rory]

Snoop has a close relationship with the family.

[Maul]

Everybody know. Everybody knows Snoop. Don't know Snoop.

[Rory]

Most famous rapper of all time, easily.

[Julian]

He has every single event. Snoop is there. You can look at it. He's. He's in the background of Batman. Like, whoever's. Whoever's on his team, whoever's just parading him to every event is doing a great job.

[Rory]

He's with the Queen of England.

[Julian]

Look at him.

[Maul]

That's not the Queen. Billie Jean.

[Rory]

It's not my girl.

[Maul]

Billie Jean King. It's not even a complaint.

[Julian]

Oh, man.

[Rory]

The other Queen of England, Billie Jean.

[Maul]

Once again, dude, look at him. That's not real. That's not real.

[Rory]

That should be the next album cover.

[Maul]

Is that a real picture or did.

[Rory]

They add he's doing power cleans?

[Julian]

Mom. When I tell you he's everywhere.

[Rory]

As he should be.

[Julian]

They have been. Look at him at karate. They've been parading Snoop to every single event. It's so fun to watch.

[Maul]

I think it's. I think it's. We having fun with Whack 100, but I think it's. It's probably a fact that Snoop will be a flag.

[Rory]

Oh, he's getting his bid in now.

[Maul]

Yeah. For. For the 20. Hell, yeah.

[Rory]

Wait, he just told the scene.

[Maul]

Of course he did.

[Julian]

He crips while holding the torch.

[Rory]

I mean, he could walk at the Super Bowl.

[Julian]

I mean, this is a little bigger. Is this amazing?

[Maul]

That's not.

[Julian]

That's not real.

[Rory]

What I think is crazy than Snoop being everywhere is that Flavor Flav is sponsoring the women's water polo team.

[Julian]

I saw him there too.

[Maul]

What?

[Julian]

He.

[Rory]

Flavor Flav found out that the women's water polo team doesn't do that full time. Like, they all have jobs because, like, you know, it's not the most lucrative sport.

[Maul]

Right.

[Rory]

Every four years.

[Maul]

Right?

[Rory]

So he's sponsoring all of them. Like, he's paying their bills.

[Julian]

This is where. So he was wearing this the day I was watching. This is the outfit he had on. And they would pan him in the crowd going crazy. I forgot who. I think they played Germany. I forget. I don't remember. But they beat the shit out of the team they were playing, and he was there the whole time.

[Maul]

This is yo.

[Rory]

All right, find out. Flavor Flav is, like, a trained musician. Was news to me.

[Maul]

Trained. He's A savant.

[Rory]

Like, classical.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And to find out he's one of the biggest water polo fans is also.

[Julian]

That's Jill Biden, by the way. You know that, right? That's. Yeah.

[Rory]

Wait, Jill's out?

[Julian]

That's Jill and Flavor Flav watch the entire polo match together.

[Rory]

Oh, her husband. Her husband dropped out, and then she dropped out.

[Maul]

Yeah. She's outside all that. Yeah. Jill said, I'm outside. I'm going to Paris. This White House.

[Rory]

How do you guys feel about the opening ceremony and the, you know, making fun of the Christian religion and, you know, the transgenders are taking over.

[Julian]

Didn't one guy have his balls out?

[Rory]

I mean, naturally.

[Julian]

It's pretty sweet.

[Rory]

It's Paris, though. Like, isn't that part of the culture? Oh, yeah.

[Maul]

To have your balls out. Yeah. I don't know if I've ever seen that in Paris.

[Julian]

They delete it off YouTube. Some of it. Right.

[Rory]

Probably. I don't know. I mean, I guess I'm. I'm with some people having an issue with, like, this, but I don't really care.

[Maul]

It's just simple.

[Rory]

I just don't really care.

[Maul]

What does that have to do with the Olympics? I think that's just a simple question. Like, what does any of that have to do with the Olympics?

[Rory]

I mean, what does any opening ceremony performance have to do with the Olympics? It's just the entertainment. I mean, I see all the messaging, and, you guys know my Illuminati tinfoil hat. I see the messaging too, but I just don't lose my mind over it anymore. It's like. Yeah, it's almost like it's.

[Maul]

There you go. What are we gonna do about it?

[Rory]

All right.

[Maul]

Yeah, it's definitely a little. There's something.

[Julian]

Yeah. They're mad at, like, the. The. The obese white woman playing Jesus at the Last Supper.

[Rory]

Well, God is a woman.

[Julian]

When it looks like she ate the entire supper.

[Maul]

Ariana. There you go.

[Rory]

It is a little odd. Like, what does that have to do with Paris? Like, usually the opening ceremony has something to do specifically with the culture of the city or country that it's in.

[Maul]

I.

[Rory]

This is. This wasn't in Bethlehem. Like, why are we doing the Last Supper in Paris? So I kind of feel the outrage from the Christian right on this entire thing, because it didn't really have anything to do with what Paris is.

[Maul]

Like, I don't know.

[Rory]

Get a bunch of croissants, do something. Yeah.

[Maul]

Like, why we can't just have a cappuccino and.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Just walk down the street and just welcome everybody.

[Rory]

Maybe discuss how they us over and the revolutionary War. I don't know. Yeah, they showed up late. Thank God Mel Gibson was cleaning up.

[Julian]

This shot was cool. That there was some Parisian rock band.

[Rory]

Yeah, but you don't understand the imagery here. They're trying to brainwash us to love that.

[Julian]

I mean, I'm satanic now. Obviously, after watching this, you live and breathe for Satan. The only. It's the only way to go from here.

[Rory]

After I saw that clip of that guy shooting an arrow to light the Olympic torch. I mean, can you top anything? That was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

How much confidence do you have to have in that person? So many things could have went wrong.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like, what if he misses but he got a reload? Not embarrassing. That is like.

[Rory]

I mean, what.

[Julian]

What was this was 92 in Barcelona. Crazy dunked.

[Rory]

That's like the best beer pong shot I've ever seen.

[Julian]

But like, was that real? Like, he shoots it, but who's to say in 92?

[Rory]

I just don't think they had the technology to fake that.

[Julian]

No, I'm saying they just flipped the switch to turn the thing on and the arrow would just fly over into like nothingness. A field behind. That's what I'm saying.

[Rory]

They didn't have switches in 92.

[Julian]

Electricity didn't exist.

[Rory]

No, I mean, it looked like it hit.

[Maul]

It definitely was in the area.

[Julian]

It was in the area. Yeah. I think he. He. He did a great job of getting it get to the torch.

[Rory]

What was riskier? This or letting Muhammad Ali hold the torch when he had the shakes?

[Julian]

Ali, probably Ali. Because that you can't. This looks like he deserved it.

[Rory]

It was wild.

[Maul]

Yeah, he deserved to be there for sure. But it was like. Did they think this through? I think they did.

[Rory]

David, his daughter was like, let's hurry up. I feel like more stuff happened this weekend while we were gone. Do we want to get into this? Tory Lanez news that just broke what happened? So the driver slash security guard put out a statement or his affidavit leaked. We don't have to read the whole thing. But essentially he explains the night in detail. Some of it we knew already. As far as Kelsey and Meg fighting because they were both. Tori. Yeah, he confirms that part, then says Kelsey took the gun out and that Tory went towards her to try to disarm her. But then his back was turned. So he did not see who actually fired the gun.

[Maul]

Oh, there you go.

[Rory]

But with this. And he also said that this information was suppressed. He couldn't go to court and tell his side. I do think this is grounds for an appeal, though, because this is new information. He was one of four witnesses and has information that could lead to a new trial. Because at that point, if this. If his story is correct, I think Tori could argue if the gun went off by accident. I was trying to get the gun out of that girl's hand. It went off, and then Meg just caught astray. That is a. In my opinion, even though after hearing that voicemail from Tori, I'm still on the side of, like, I think Tory shot Megan.

[Maul]

Why?

[Rory]

But as far as the. The justice system goes, I think this is grounds for an appeal and a new trial.

[Maul]

Fam. This is very simple. I don't even know why we're still talking.

[Rory]

Listen, man, I get it.

[Maul]

The driver's affidavit, whatever the fuck came out today. Yes, let's talk about it. If a woman says, I shot her.

[Rory]

I'm getting on the stand, and I.

[Maul]

Did not shoot that woman. I am getting on the stand and telling everybody, yo, hey, I did not shoot this woman. It's simple. Like, what are we talking about here? Like, what this is.

[Rory]

And. But what also blows my mind is, to your point, if this story is correct, why the. Wouldn't Tori just get on the stand and say that?

[Maul]

This is what I'm saying, bro.

[Rory]

Like, pulled a gun out, and I didn't want her to shoot any of us, so I ran towards her, tried to get the gun from her, and in the tussle, it went off. Which guns go off when people tussle and Meg got hit with a stray, It's. It's very, like, I was trying to protect.

[Maul]

Yeah, we don't have to keep talking about, like, this is very simple.

[Julian]

If that.

[Maul]

If this is what happened, I would have. If I was the one that they were saying shot the gun, I would have taken the stand. And my lawyer.

[Rory]

Was that a lawyer, my agent.

[Maul]

Nobody could have kept me off that stand. I would have got on that stand and said, yo, listen, man, this is what happened. I tried to take the gun from her. The gun went off. She got hit with a ricochet. Whatever. Like, whatever happened, just say it happened. Like, I just don't. I don't get how we're still even talking about this.

[Julian]

My question is, why, and pardon me, if this is known, why is this just coming out? Why wasn't he allowed to speak on this before?

[Maul]

Why?

[Rory]

If you go to the last paragraph, he explains. If you Want to read my eyes?

[Julian]

This one here.

[Rory]

I believe in the last.

[Julian]

Oh, here it is. I wanted to present this evidence during Mr. Peterson's trial, but was prevented from doing so as the district attorney. Attorney was not ready to cross examine me. What? And later, they did not call me due to holidays in the court schedule. I believe I should be allowed to present this evidence. Wait, holidays is why they didn't feel. So that. That doesn't sound real.

[Maul]

What are we talking about here, man?

[Julian]

But also, we had Thanksgiving dinner, so you're. We're just gonna have to go.

[Maul]

So this evidence, this year, your story, Boston.

[Julian]

I'm breaking the wishbone with my kids. Your. Your friend's going to jail. What? That doesn't. That's not a real excuse.

[Rory]

Tori has tried to get an appeal in 2024. Correct. Because this is dated December 5th of 2023. It's just leaking today. But they've. The courts have seen this. Of course, if he's appealed already. And correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't his appeal denied the first one?

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So that's where I'm not sure the whole validity of this entire thing. Not to say the court systems always get it right or fair, but I feel like if there's four people that were there for the crime.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And one of them says, yo, I'll get on the stand and tell you what happened. I feel like the court would be like, yeah, yeah, come on, get on the stage.

[Maul]

Absolutely. That's what I'm saying. You know, why are we still even talking about this? Like, it's just. It's just. This is very simple. If. If you didn't do it, put me in it. If this was me and I didn't do it, and other men that think like me, we'd all been on the stand and said, we did not do this. Like, why are y'all framing me for this?

[Rory]

But what you're forgetting is Roc Nation.

[Julian]

That's true, bro.

[Rory]

You don't think about that.

[Julian]

The Roc Nation invented the holiday.

[Rory]

And correct me if I'm wrong, that's the day after Jay Z's birthday. I'm putting the pieces together now. December 5th.

[Maul]

Hold on. That's Tory Lanez's bodyguard right there.

[Rory]

I. I suppose, perhaps.

[Maul]

Why? You know, this is his bodyguard. This look like an artist.

[Julian]

I mean, they all want to be artists.

[Rory]

He said they've been friends for five years, employed for three. He was a driver and personal security. Don't do that, man. Baka's kind of Drake's Security.

[Maul]

Hold on. That's. That's the. That's the guy. Jaquan Smith, the bodyguard. That's him.

[Rory]

You're asking the wrong person, I would assume. No, I think that's Young Rage reacting. I don't think that's him.

[Maul]

Oh, okay. I'm about to say, fam. Whoever. He got a. He got a bus down. What the are we doing here, man? Like, what's happening right now? What the is going on?

[Rory]

Being security with a bus down chain is hilarious.

[Maul]

So I'm like, yo, what do we.

[Rory]

What the is. That's not very. Like, I don't know if I want to have a big ass channel right now.

[Maul]

Okay. So that wasn't. Okay. All right. My bad, My bad. Jaquan Smith. I thought that was you. Sorry.

[Rory]

Apologize to Young Rage.

[Maul]

Young Rage. I don't know who that is, but that was my bad. Young Rage. I thought your picture was next to the affidavit. I don't know what's going on.

[Rory]

We forgot to ask Philly. I was really disappointed after the show that we forgot this. Why do we not hold Philly accountable in real time for this Will Smith verse years?

[Maul]

Does Philly still claim Will Smith?

[Rory]

I think so.

[Maul]

You think so?

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

Why would they not claim Will Smith?

[Maul]

There's probably been some. Some years since Will has been active in the community.

[Rory]

I mean, remember he got in that fight and his mom moved him out. He's not able to come back.

[Maul]

So he never came back.

[Julian]

He always wanted to come back.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah.

[Maul]

That's what I'm saying. If he never came back, can he really still claim?

[Rory]

I mean, he brought his man. Jeff went like, what's there to go back to, Philly?

[Maul]

Jeff got kicked out.

[Julian]

It's a difference.

[Rory]

But Jeff shouldn't have been in Beverly Hills to begin with.

[Maul]

That's a fact.

[Julian]

Right?

[Maul]

So Will Smith put out. First of all, let's start here. I like doing this thing where I just ask very simple questions. Who is telling Will Smith to still create music?

[Julian]

Fam, we just.

[Rory]

Jada.

[Julian]

We just said this over. What was it? What was the award ceremony? Bet when he's performing that whole, like, I'm God. What he did, what do you say?

[Rory]

I'm sorry, we're not gonna play the song. Can we pull up the lyrics?

[Maul]

Rising. That was his Phoenix Rising song.

[Julian]

Can we?

[Rory]

I don't want to hate too, too much. Like, Russ got off on this.

[Maul]

Russ's verse on this.

[Rory]

It's Russ and Will Smith.

[Maul]

Oh, my God.

[Julian]

Wait, hold on. Let's Check this out real quick.

[Rory]

We can't play it though, can we? All right, cool.

[Julian]

All right.

[Maul]

And I'm the brush, and I'm the canvas. I am a saint, but if you touch, I am.

[Rory]

How is he? Out of breath on the first one.

[Maul]

But I identify as a cancer.

[Rory]

Can you do that?

[Maul]

But what does that even mean? I'm a Libra, but I identify as a cancer.

[Rory]

Well, maybe it was more poetic than we think. Maybe he feels like he's a cancer to some people, so he's a Leo.

[Maul]

But Will Smith does not feel like he's a cancer to anybody.

[Rory]

I mean, have you been to a Red Table Talk? It's a very cancerous family.

[Maul]

Yeah, but they're his cancer. Like, he's not the cancer. He's sitting there.

[Rory]

His wife is.

[Maul]

Yeah, he's sitting there. He's. He's trying to receive, like, chemo.

[Rory]

Well, let's start at the beginning here. I am the paint, and I'm the brush, and I'm also the canvas.

[Julian]

Now you gotta do it in, like, the cadence that he did it.

[Rory]

I am the paint. I am the brush. I am the canvas. I am a saint. But if you touch. I am a savage. I am a Libra. But identify as a cancer. He kind of has, like, a tech 9 flow to this before tech gets into his bag, bro.

[Maul]

We all love Will Smith. Legend, icon. Can't take that icon. Can't take that from him. We don't need no more. We don't need. And we don't. We're not asking for any more Will Smith music.

[Rory]

I am the tongue. Truth and the lie both in tandem. So you're full of shit is what you're saying.

[Julian]

Nah, bro. He's the Torah, the Quran, and the Bible.

[Maul]

No, he's in the Torah.

[Rory]

No, he's not.

[Maul]

And in the Bible, that's true.

[Rory]

I have read the Bible cover to cover, against my own will. Will Smith's name did not come up once.

[Maul]

I am the shadow and I'm the light. I am the marriage. I'm a work of art. Baby, look at me. I'm a work of art. Now they framing me. Painting, painting in the dot for the dead people. I'm a work of art. As I live and breathe. I'm a work of art. Is this the hook?

[Rory]

Do you think someone had to cut him off eventually? Like, because you could do this forever. Like, I am the tv. I am the remot. I am the guide. Yeah, like, we could just do this all.

[Maul]

I am the cup. I am the fridge. I am the beverage.

[Rory]

I am like, will, we're gonna cap this at 16, because this scheme could go on forever.

[Maul]

I am the stage. I am the lights. I am the music. I am like, what are you talking?

[Rory]

I feel like Charlie Clips wrote this for him.

[Maul]

No. Hell, no.

[Rory]

Charlie Clips has made himself every home appliance in rap battle history.

[Maul]

Yeah, but we just don't need any more Will Smith music. Can we get a new Jay Z song? Like a J verse, a J album? Like, why are we getting Will Smith?

[Rory]

What's up is because once Russ came on, I was like, oh, all right. This song is actually pretty good. I see why they picked this beat. Will just destroyed the beat, and I don't mean that in a good way.

[Maul]

So did Russ write this?

[Rory]

I doubt he wrote Will's verse.

[Maul]

Why?

[Rory]

Because I saw something on Twitter the first time they met, like, they did some platform that was released today. It was like, the first time they ever met in person. Listen, if Russ wrote that, Russ, I need to hear your reference. Send me the reference to Will.

[Maul]

He ain't right. That, man.

[Rory]

Russ is too good of a rapper.

[Maul]

He didn't write that. There's no way Russ wrote that.

[Rory]

Or Russ wrote that as a joke. And Will was like, yo, nah, this is ill. And Russ was like, I was joking.

[Maul]

Yeah. Nah, Russ didn't. There's no way Russ wrote that.

[Rory]

Well, his verse is great, but I don't know, man.

[Julian]

My favorite thing about this song is Gen Z got a hold of it, and they're like, oh, and y'all thought Will Smith couldn't have a music career, too. He's just that talented. Like, they had no idea that Will Smith was a musician and has.

[Rory]

He has a. He has a classic album.

[Maul]

They thought this was like his.

[Julian]

They thought this was like, his intro to music.

[Rory]

He has a five micr.

[Julian]

He's Grammy winning. Didn't he win the first hip hop?

[Rory]

He did this little tune called Summertime.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah. Just when you thought he couldn't do.

[Julian]

More, that's like, all right, this is.

[Maul]

What he did first. Like, yeah, it was actually the first.

[Julian]

This is too good.

[Rory]

LeBron wasn't busy. We would have got a great tweet.

[Julian]

LeBron wasn't in Paris. Yeah.

[Maul]

Time difference and all of that.

[Julian]

I am the ball. I am the court. I am the go.

[Maul]

I am the goat.

[Julian]

This is ass.

[Maul]

Listen, man, that is Toby Maguire got.

[Rory]

Bit by a spider.

[Maul]

That is terrible. That song's not bad, though.

[Rory]

I know. No, it's a good song.

[Maul]

That song ain't Bad.

[Rory]

I need to give more respect to Baby Tron.

[Julian]

He's nice.

[Rory]

Yeah, he smoked.

[Maul]

That was a Baby Tron record, right, Eminem?

[Rory]

I felt that way because he wrote the, like, the hooks in the first book.

[Maul]

Yeah, to me, that felt like he.

[Rory]

Gave that to him.

[Maul]

I think that was a Baby Tron record. And he gave that. Then like, em heard it and was like, no, I need.

[Julian]

That could be.

[Maul]

Yeah, that. That just sounds too, like, out of what M would like do on his own away from, like, Baby Tron.

[Rory]

I do like that song, even though I make fun of it a lot. It is a good song.

[Julian]

We called it, by the way. Rory, back to the double XL Cipher. The Mexican OT got his off. Yeah, the best one by far.

[Rory]

No, he's nice.

[Maul]

Yeah, he did shout out to the Mexican ot.

[Rory]

Ot.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I mean, thank God Ice Spice is getting her flowers again from Pitchfork. Who. Who at Pitchfork is Ice Spice? I'm gonna ask the questions. Everyone wants to know.

[Maul]

Who wants to.

[Rory]

This is. This is our second 7.6 back to back. 7. Sixes. Mr. Morale also got 7.6 rude and her like that EP got 7.6.

[Maul]

All right, man. Come on.

[Rory]

I'm just telling you the truth. I'm telling you what happened.

[Maul]

All right, well, I spikes new Ice Spice. I said Ice Spike. Ice Spice's new album. Y2K. Is that the name of it?

[Rory]

Yeah. I'll be honest.

[Maul]

Pitchfork gave it a 7.6 out of.

[Rory]

10, which is a great score.

[Maul]

I mean, but what if the album is dope, though?

[Rory]

I didn't listen to it, so I'm not here.

[Maul]

That's what I'm saying. What if the album is. What if it's dope?

[Rory]

Well, you're really into the Travis Scott. Got one. You were actually at say Less for the video?

[Maul]

Well, no, I definitely was not there, but you were the first grip. The song. The song isn't bad, though. The song isn't bad. I don't think it's a bad record.

[Rory]

I heard she got got you to eat that peanut chicken kebab that they have there.

[Maul]

The chicken satay. Yeah, I'm cool. I'm cool on the satay.

[Rory]

You said the Travis record wasn't that bad, though.

[Maul]

It wasn't the videos. The video's cool. Song isn't bad.

[Rory]

Oh, what does she do in the video? Is there any choreography or anything specific?

[Maul]

Well, Travis. Travis is. Travis is feeding her. Her.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Maul]

You know, she's at the table. Like, they have the. The section to the. The room to themselves. Private room and say less. You know, she's, you know, dancing, which.

[Rory]

Is, you know, that's. That's our move. We always shut it down there.

[Maul]

She's dancing for him, you know, twerking. The Bronx legend that she is. But the song isn't bad, though. I wasn't mad at the record, the videos. The video's cool, too.

[Rory]

I don't mind the central C record.

[Maul]

Essential C records, though. Yeah.

[Rory]

I think that's mean for what it is.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

When it comes to Ice Spice music, I know I'm not the target demographic for it, but there's, you know, some joints. Is the whole album exactly the same, though? Like, she hasn't shown much diversity with the singles as far as lyrical content.

[Maul]

But yeah, I mean, well, she. Ice Spice is going to give you what her sound is. Her sound is shake dance, you know, a lot of bass. But, you know, I'm not mad at the feature so far. The Travis Scott Jordan is. I think it. You know, I think they'll with it in the clubs. I'm not in the club, so I don't know. But I think this is what.

[Julian]

They're throwing ass over a fruit platters.

[Rory]

That's. But that's on par for say Less. Like, when you go to say Less, they are twerking. I don't think they. They serve grapes there.

[Maul]

But yeah, that spread is not available.

[Julian]

They're three inches from the edamame.

[Maul]

Well, that's where you need the at.

[Rory]

Imagine being on the wait staff that day and you just see Travis Scott pouring out Cactus Jack all over. Like, come on, you're the bus boy. Like, what are we doing?

[Julian]

I gotta clean this video.

[Maul]

Yeah, I gotta clean.

[Rory]

I gotta clean this floor.

[Julian]

This. This last line of the review on Pitchfork really brings it all together for me. Ice Spice has mixed boilerplate tough talk with tossed off vulnerability, positioning herself as relatably aspirational.

[Rory]

Stop, stop. Where is she vulnerable on this album when she says, that's what I'm saying.

[Maul]

You didn't hear the album. Don't hate. That's hating you.

[Rory]

No, this is hate.

[Maul]

You gotta. You. You gotta hit an album first. Don't do that. That.

[Julian]

Well, Rory being turned around and bent over is a vulnerable position.

[Maul]

So start there.

[Rory]

You're not wrong there.

[Julian]

I don't know what's going on behind you.

[Rory]

Yeah. And she definitely has, like, holes in her leggings, so her ass is exposed. Yeah, I guess that's vulnerable.

[Maul]

I did the next line, though. Position herself as relatably aspirational or Aspirationally relatable.

[Rory]

No. And I.

[Maul]

You don't even see how they played on the words right there.

[Rory]

I. I did feel seen.

[Julian]

That's ass play right there.

[Maul]

Exactly.

[Rory]

I did feel seen when she said, I miss poopy, but I don't need a diagnosis, Viper. Like, I felt seen as someone that possibly is Crohn's. Like, I understood what she meant. Yo, yo, I have fiber issues, so I really relate to Ice Spice.

[Maul]

Can we play that clip of Kai and. And Lil Yachty listening to the. To the album?

[Rory]

If. If I'm a hater, so are they.

[Maul]

I mean. Cause Kai just gives a universal. Like, you know how you got to look at everybody in the room and kind of see what their reaction is? Like, where they at? Like, don't be hearing the same shit.

[Rory]

Yo, Yachty is hilarious. Because you've been in this position when you don't want to look like a hater. Okay?

[Julian]

That's the most pure reaction because we've.

[Maul]

All been in that position where we've all been listening to something and everybody kind of catches eye contact with each other, and we just laugh because we all know what we're thinking. Like, this is terrible.

[Rory]

Yes. That's rough.

[Maul]

Y'all, man, go get Ice Spices, stream the album. Ice Spice, the Bronx legend. I gotta hear what she doing on the album.

[Rory]

Did you see Yachty at.

[Maul]

At Broccoli City shout out to Yachty? Him. And he bought the. He bought the whole team out at Broccoli City.

[Rory]

I heard they.

[Maul]

They.

[Rory]

They blessed you with a Concrete boys jacket.

[Maul]

Jacket? Yeah. I wish. I wish I would have got one, though. That was cool. That was like a nostalgic type of look. Like that kind of give, like, the hot boys vibe a little bit. It was dope to see them on stage like that.

[Rory]

And, I mean, I think it's cool that Yachty, I'm sure, gets offers, obviously, for festivals all the time, but I'm sure now he's saying, if you want.

[Maul]

Me, got to bring my team with me.

[Rory]

Yeah, they were on the flyer and everything.

[Julian]

The controversy going on with his crew right now. The. The girl, Caribou.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

She wasn't there.

[Julian]

Is no longer in the group.

[Maul]

She's not in the group.

[Rory]

She unfollowed everybody. She was reposting all the. The from Broccoli City whenever I was asking where she was at. Yeah, we don't know what happened, but over the weekend, it.

[Julian]

It was a thing which obviously would lead to believe that there's something directly with her and Yachty.

[Maul]

I mean, she on this. On the radar. She got off on that.

[Rory]

Yeah, I liked it.

[Julian]

She's nice, but, yeah, that's the current. There's no reasoning yet. They're still trying to speculate. There's no, you know, official reason, but she's definitely left the collective.

[Rory]

Are they. Are they all from Atlanta?

[Julian]

I have no idea.

[Maul]

I'm not sure.

[Rory]

How'd they land on that name? It's like the least concrete city I've ever been to.

[Maul]

Atlanta.

[Rory]

It's a lot of trees, a lot of.

[Maul]

Yeah, it's a lot of homes, a lot of houses. But they did their thing, though. They look. They sounded good. They sounded good.

[Julian]

While I was scrolling the timeline over the weekend, I also came across this. Did you guys see the. They call him the teu Drake.

[Rory]

The what? Drake.

[Julian]

The. The TEU version of Drake.

[Maul]

Teu.

[Rory]

I have so many questions about this. I mean, outside of Drake posting it on his IG and saying, sometimes you got to pop out, which was hilarious. Finally, Drake is handling this whole thing correctly, in my opinion. Just lean into this and laugh. Outside of that, I have so many fucking questions. What event is this? Because it's not karaoke. Because he's not singing.

[Julian]

He's awkwardly dancing in a boxing ring.

[Rory]

In a boxing ring To Hotline Bling.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I mean, and it looks like there's a sizable crowd. Like, people are there.

[Maul]

Maybe this is hotline ring. I don't know. I don't know what the fuck this is. But you could tell he waited all his life and then Drake reposted it. Oh, you know, he. Wherever he from, he lit right now.

[Rory]

But what's so funny is he has a microphone and he's not singing.

[Maul]

No. Why would you. When you look like that? Like, come on.

[Rory]

My favorite part of the video is what people aren't talking about at the end. Like, when people start to clap. He looks, like, genuinely humbled. Like, he just smoked that. Like, he's like, yo, yo, thank you, guys.

[Maul]

Like, yo, thank y'all for coming out.

[Rory]

Look how humbled he looks.

[Maul]

Thank you.

[Julian]

They're calling them family. They're calling them family platters.

[Maul]

Family platters. Oh, man.

[Rory]

He put on his.

[Maul]

No, he went. Got that that day. Like, he brought that. He went and purchased that outfit.

[Rory]

I want to see the other performances, like, whose ever event this is. Please post more.

[Maul]

Yeah, show him getting into mob ties or something like that.

[Rory]

Sometimes he mouths the words, sometimes he doesn't.

[Julian]

He does.

[Maul]

I will say, confused.

[Julian]

He's got the mannerisms down for sure.

[Maul]

No, he rehearsed that he. This was. This was his moment. This is his one shine.

[Julian]

The genuine happiness when he's done is so exciting.

[Maul]

He's humble. Like, he's like, come on, y'all. Too kind.

[Rory]

Like, have you ever seen Lauryn Hill do the Apollo? Like, in her reaction? Yeah, like, he has the same reaction of like, yo, wait all my.

[Maul]

Yeah, I've been waiting on my life.

[Rory]

I'm here to serve you guys.

[Maul]

So glad you could be here tonight. This is ridiculous.

[Julian]

But this is different than. Remember the other guy that was using the Drake lookalike pass, but he was booking club appearances and making money off that and didn't OVO Drake sent him a C and D as he should.

[Rory]

Have, because that kid was getting.

[Julian]

This is different. This is obviously. You know, I mean, who knows, though? Maybe he got paid for this. Like, is it all fun and games until he makes so much amount of money? And then Drake's like that. Pull the. Pull. Pull the cord.

[Rory]

Listen, man, the way they have the Elvis impersonators in Times Square, I'd give this guy. This guy a few dollars if he.

[Maul]

Was doing the same routine in, like.

[Rory]

On the steps in Times Square. Just did hotline blitz.

[Julian]

If you get on the A train and he's over there doing this, oh.

[Rory]

Yeah, he's $2 for me. For sure.

[Maul]

That's.

[Rory]

He would get my money. Before the kid raising money for his.

[Maul]

Basketball team, did y'all see Soulja Boy and Bow Wow? The dip?

[Rory]

The real Draco, Big Draco.

[Maul]

What be going on? Like, wait, Shout out to Bow. You know, that's our guy.

[Julian]

They brought him out, though.

[Rory]

And so. And Soulja Boy is my guy, too. I want to smoke.

[Maul]

Did they bring him out, or is it, like, the whale that Shamu, bring him out. Who brought this crowd out? Out. Was it Bow Wow or was it Shamu?

[Julian]

I mean.

[Rory]

I mean, if I were to think of, like, a dream event performing at SeaWorld, I'd probably be like, yo, it'd be great if we got Bow Wow and Soulja Boy to perform at SeaWorld.

[Maul]

You want to know what's funny about this? I thought SeaWorld was closed.

[Rory]

No, is it not closed now that private prison is. Is thriving still.

[Maul]

I thought SeaWorld was shut down a couple years ago ago.

[Rory]

Oh, no, they just. They move the whales around like priests. When they up, they just move them to another SeaWorld.

[Maul]

Oh, okay. Got it.

[Rory]

Yeah, they don't put them back in the ocean.

[Julian]

I mean, this.

[Rory]

Go up to Seattle.

[Julian]

Imagine being like a. A young parent, like you're in your 30s, so you grew up listening to their records. You. You lived through their peak. And you bring in your. Your kid, who's like, five, six, and you're like, all right, we're doing the day at Sea World. Like, what? Whatever. And then right before the dolphins are doing flips and shit, your childhood just, like, walks out.

[Rory]

And the greatest thing ever.

[Julian]

I would be like, hell, this is awesome. This is perfect.

[Maul]

See, I don't know if I would have felt like that if I went to SeaWorld, and I would love. This came out. I don't think I would have been. I would. I would have laughed. Like, I would have been like, why is Nelly here? At SeaWorld?

[Rory]

They're carrying on the tradition. Remember when Wu Tang performed at Rikers Island?

[Maul]

I do remember.

[Rory]

This is. They're just.

[Maul]

That's. No, no, no, no. I get where you're going. They're the same thing. They're in prison. The whale's in prison.

[Julian]

Wait, was someone just thr. Yep. Right?

[Rory]

Like, why is that girl at SeaWorld?

[Julian]

Why are they.

[Maul]

What was she doing? I'm more surprised she heard it.

[Rory]

Who is at SeaWorld in a pink.

[Julian]

Wig, Throwing ass at SeaWorld is crazy.

[Maul]

What are we doing? Like, everything is like a glitch in the Matrix, like, every week.

[Rory]

Pat Williams, man. Yeah.

[Maul]

It's like, yo, what is happening here? What. What are we. What are we looking at?

[Julian]

Crank that At Sea World is hilarious.

[Rory]

They just got their friends on stage.

[Julian]

It's just.

[Rory]

Yo, you want to slide with me to say anything?

[Maul]

Meanwhile, the whales are in the bottom of the tank, prison depressed, keep bumping their heads on the concrete wall, and y'all are just up here shaking ass. Life is just. I don't know what the. I don't know anymore, fellas. I don't know. I don't know what's happening.

[Rory]

The. She were there the whole time?

[Damaris]

Yeah. Listening.

[Rory]

She was behind me the whole time. You say anything?

[Maul]

She was in the closet.

[Rory]

She was up the steps. Steps that goes up to another floor. You didn't know that?

[Maul]

Oh, okay. My bad. He was upstairs. Yeah.

[Rory]

Baby D is back.

[Maul]

What's up, y'all?

[Rory]

It's our new spot.

[Maul]

Yeah, we was talking about you because we said we only saw you for seven minutes combined at Broccoli City.

[Rory]

I saw them all. More than I saw you. That's crazy. Yeah.

[Damaris]

Yo, Ma was moving and shaking.

[Maul]

Yo, what's up with that truck, man? I can't even. Julian, I promise you, I was just walking. So when they say moving, and shaking. They putting that.

[Julian]

I don't know, man.

[Maul]

I walk past, just walking.

[Damaris]

I walked past Maul. Maul was doing a complex interview.

[Maul]

Greatest platform in the world.

[Rory]

Number 13, baby.

[Maul]

Greatest platform in the universe. Yeah, fuck it.

[Rory]

They asked me, but I didn't have a moment to do it. But my response to them when they asked was, I was like, number 13 will do anything for y'all.

[Maul]

Yeah, Anything. Shout out to George.

[Julian]

That's family.

[Rory]

Oh, it's definitely family.

[Maul]

Yeah, that's fam. Are you kidding me?

[Rory]

Who was. Someone was blackballed from Complex. Couldn't be me.

[Maul]

Never. Never me. Never could be me.

[Rory]

I would never. Yeah, that's broke shit. Did you have fun at Broccoli City? You were moving and shaking, too, man.

[Damaris]

To the girl that looked like Pocahontas that I stopped and asked, if you like girls, find me.

[Rory]

I get a little crush.

[Damaris]

Nah, I don't think y'all understand. Like, she was so bad that I was like, if you don't like girls, I have, like, multiple homeboys. You can have whichever one you want, but somebody gotta get you. They were in there.

[Rory]

Only. Only a woman could say.

[Maul]

A woman could talk like that.

[Rory]

Imagine if I said that exact same thing. One of my homeboys gonna you.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Julian]

One of my friends, so I can be near you.

[Rory]

Me, my homeboy gonna homeboy for you.

[Maul]

Like, you know what I'm saying?

[Rory]

Well, one of us is somebody's you.

[Damaris]

Yeah. I don't understand. She looked. She had a butter to the girl in a butterfly bustier. Like, yo, she was beautiful.

[Rory]

And imagine if I called her poke on.

[Damaris]

She looked like Pocahontas, though.

[Maul]

I couldn't find where you could get that off.

[Rory]

See, when I was John Smith.

[Maul]

Yeah, exactly.

[Damaris]

But now they were. They were in there. They were. They were in there.

[Maul]

Oh, my God.

[Rory]

Small.

[Damaris]

They were in there, right?

[Rory]

What if I use that pickup line to her? Yo, can I be your John Smith? See, no. Too.

[Maul]

I'm going every year. I'm going to Brock City every year. They better not ever move that from Audi City. What is Audi City? Audi Field. Audi City. Y. Y'all sign into it. Y'all sign into a 360 deal with broccoli City, whether y'all know it or not. That was amazing. Oh, my God. It was so many beautiful.

[Damaris]

I didn't care. I didn't care about the performers. I was just looking at the women.

[Maul]

The women were so many pretty women out there.

[Rory]

You guys were in rare form. I was the only grounded person from this podcast. There you Got.

[Damaris]

Not by choice.

[Rory]

I mean, Sunday I had a babysitter, though.

[Maul]

Oh, you ain't. You ain't even see each other Sunday?

[Rory]

No.

[Maul]

Oh, Damaris was acting.

[Damaris]

No, that's not.

[Maul]

Oh, she was at all. Y'all didn't see each other Sunday?

[Damaris]

I bumped into Rory and Sean.

[Maul]

Bumped into. Is crazy. First of all, bumping into a nigga you work with. Y'all bumped into. What, you got his number? Like, could y'all. Y'all in the same city for the same reason. Like, hit his phone and be like, yo, what time you going?

[Rory]

No, I texted her a lot to try to link with her, and she replied back in quotes. What'd you say? Yo, yo, I'm in your city. Like, she tried to clown me.

[Damaris]

Rory was hitting me with that. He like, yo, I'm here. I said, I'm in your city, ass nigga. Go have fun. Like, what? Why you keep telling me?

[Rory]

Cause you're my friend and we were in the same city.

[Damaris]

Nah, I was trying to. You wasn't. You couldn't move. Respectfully, how I was trying to move now, mom, me and you could have moved, but you were moving too much. I couldn't catch up with you.

[Maul]

Yeah, but I couldn't really move, though, cuz Y got.

[Rory]

Cuz he was on lockdown, too. Mine was just a little bit more like I was on facing.

[Maul]

See, this is that way.

[Julian]

Demer. We can cross examine when you ran into mall, did he have a woman with him?

[Rory]

With.

[Damaris]

There were women around, but that sound.

[Maul]

Like a regular day in the life.

[Rory]

She was using the bathroom for sure.

[Julian]

No.

[Damaris]

Has like, so many, like, sisters and cousins and stuff that, like, when I see him with a woman, it isn't like an automatic. Oh, who that was the curly headed blonde one. Yours.

[Rory]

That's the one I'm talking about.

[Maul]

Oh. Oh, that's. Who you talking about? No, that's my home girl. I know her, though. That's the most. They came to the. The show in D.C. and. And the first one we did, how it did, it was that 2018?

[Rory]

No, it was a different girl.

[Maul]

No, it wasn't. It's the same girl.

[Damaris]

Oh, that's. That's. That's her.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Oh, okay. Now she's cool.

[Maul]

She.

[Damaris]

Pete, those are.

[Maul]

That's like n. See, that's. That's who you talk. See, he putting extras on.

[Rory]

Look at him stutter.

[Maul]

Extras on it.

[Damaris]

He put extra. You seasoned it.

[Maul]

He said, yo, your girl. Your girl.

[Rory]

Complimenting like, they can't tell.

[Maul]

I'm like, I didn't even know who he was talking about.

[Rory]

I was with cuz when we ran into mall, she was with him, but she, like, never said a word. Was just kind of to the side. She was in the conversation, but never said a word. Maul didn't introduce her, so I was like, damn. Maul really has, like, his women, you know, trained. That's like, you can't talk. You can't.

[Maul]

That's crazy.

[Rory]

I'm not gonna introduce you. You are to be seen not to be heard.

[Maul]

Like, what are you talking about? Like, he just throwing women on my show. I'm like, what are you talking.

[Rory]

How I know she was super trained. Was. She didn't even go like, oh, Amar is cute. Like, every person we ran into was like, oh, my God, Baby's so cute. She sat there dead quiet, stoic. She didn't even look at a cute baby. That's how I know you got him trained.

[Maul]

I mean, but she doesn't know you.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Just want people to just come up.

[Rory]

To him like, yo, No, I don't. But they were doing it the entire weekend.

[Damaris]

Flex as you should as a proud dad. Of course, Amara was very cute, but me, Rory, you talking. Me and Ma took mad photos together with fans.

[Rory]

I did my due diligence.

[Damaris]

Oh.

[Rory]

I spoke to the people.

[Damaris]

I didn't see it.

[Julian]

I spoke to the people.

[Maul]

It's hilarious. I spoke to the people. I said hello.

[Rory]

I LinkedIn billed.

[Damaris]

I was very surprised. Mal was actually not in a corner sitting in vip. Like, stoic.

[Maul]

No, I tried to walk around, tried to move around.

[Damaris]

You was out here?

[Maul]

Yeah, I tried to move around. I tried to, you know, know, see the different stations and see what they had going on. I tried to experience the entire festival, the entire Broccoli City experience. So it was dope. I had a great time. I'm there every year, Brandon Drew, whether y'all like it or not, I'm there every year. I don't give a. What y'all talking about. I'm in the building.

[Rory]

It was nice. People said, rory. They didn't call me Maul.

[Damaris]

We were with the black people. They know the difference between.

[Rory]

Oh, no. Literally, today, when I went to Sweet Green before I came here, the same guy that works at Sweet Green Green, every time I go in there, calls me Mole, and I say, every time. Do I look like my name is Jamal?

[Julian]

If they're doing it as a bit, that's hilarious.

[Rory]

He's. He's not doing it a bit.

[Julian]

I would purposefully call you.

[Rory]

This is what this is what he said to me today when I was waiting in line because I went around the lunchtime craze hour. So I was standing in line for a while, and he is talking from the other side of, like, the sneeze shield.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

He's like, yo, yesterday, Yo, Maul. Last night I. I turned on my TV with YouTube and you was there taking a shit. And I was like, what are you talking about? He's like, I love the song. I was like, oh, my music video where I'm sitting on the toilet. But imagine New York City lunch hour on a Monday. And, you know, everyone goes to get salad on Mondays.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Everyone tries to be healthy. So sweet green is a mess on Mondays. He is screaming, I turned my TV on and he was taking a mole.

[Maul]

See, I thought he was really talking about. I was taking a. I was, like, talking to me.

[Julian]

That's even funnier because that's on your YouTube and it says Rory.

[Maul]

Like.

[Damaris]

Like this is Rory. Like this.

[Julian]

Yeah, like he knows it's you. That's a funny bit.

[Maul]

Did I.

[Rory]

You think maybe he's just leaning into it now?

[Julian]

I would. I would hope so, because that's hilarious.

[Maul]

Did we say how much we love Meg?

[Damaris]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, baby.

[Maul]

You wouldn't know what to do with all that, bro.

[Rory]

I would.

[Damaris]

I snuck in the. I was in the photographer pit. They trying to keep.

[Rory]

I would come so quick. Rory, she would be so disappointed.

[Maul]

Roy would come quick. Stop, stop, stop. Because we can't do that. We can't talk like that about people.

[Rory]

Like, Tamaras just told a girl that one of her homeboys.

[Maul]

Women could do that. Women. Women could do that. Women could talk to other women like that. We cannot talk about Meg like that. We have to just say she looked great.

[Rory]

She did.

[Maul]

She sounded amazing. The show was amazing. She looked great. Great.

[Rory]

Raps were on point.

[Maul]

She looked like she.

[Rory]

Control was crazy.

[Maul]

She looked like she smelled good.

[Damaris]

I don't like. I don't like festivals for performers that I really, really like. Because with both Monet, Victoria Monet and Meg, I noticed this. I don't like when people, like, not appreciate in the performer. I get it that festivals are for discovering new performers.

[Maul]

They was rocking the Meg.

[Rory]

They were going crazy.

[Maul]

Came on.

[Damaris]

Oh, yeah, they went wild. They were wild of that.

[Maul]

I'm telling you, the girl next to me start rapping to me like, we had a thing before. I'm like, I don't even know what you talking to me like that for. Like, it was that type of energy in there. Meg did her thing. She did her thing. I'm sad. That was my first time seeing Meg. Very happy. Saw her dancers after because they were staying in my hotel and they told me they was like, nah, you got to come to a full out Meg show.

[Damaris]

I want to go to a full out Meg.

[Rory]

I mean, since you paid for all their dinner, I hope we get some passes.

[Damaris]

Wait, what?

[Rory]

Yeah, I hope you got at least one number.

[Damaris]

I missed that.

[Julian]

He covered the whole meal for the dance crew.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

To be. To be. See, they're making it seem like.

[Julian]

Was it about eight?

[Maul]

They making it seem like it was a four course meal.

[Rory]

It was the bar.

[Maul]

It was wings, a burger.

[Julian]

Yeah, but that times eight. How many were there?

[Damaris]

What bar were you at?

[Julian]

Four.

[Maul]

It was a restaurant.

[Rory]

And DC is an expensive city.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

I know that burger was at least 18.

[Damaris]

Where party next door dancers were staying. Cause them.

[Maul]

Yeah, his stage.

[Rory]

I put you on the list for the. The after party. You could have bagged one of them.

[Damaris]

So let me. Do y'all know how I got to my hotel from the stadium? Because I couldn't get an Uber. Oh, no, baby. I got on the scooty box bike.

[Maul]

A few people.

[Damaris]

25 minutes. I was drunk on the scooty bike.

[Maul]

Yo.

[Rory]

Isn't that illegal?

[Julian]

That was me.

[Rory]

I think you're admitting to a crime.

[Julian]

That was me in D.C. during my brother's wedding weekend. I was drunk as riding those things.

[Damaris]

I was. First of all, I've never rode one. I'm in dc. I've only been to DC Maybe one time. I had no idea where the I was going, what I was doing.

[Rory]

Oh, and you had to deal with the. The D.C. roundabout things. It's never a straight line.

[Damaris]

I was cutting across. I was cutting across, bro.

[Rory]

Through the park.

[Damaris]

I was cutting across through the park. You definitely hit a kid life.

[Maul]

But where was you staying at where you was on it for 25 minutes. D.C. is only 20 minutes long.

[Damaris]

The bikes only go 11 miles an hour.

[Julian]

You staying in Arlington?

[Rory]

She went walking faster.

[Maul]

She was staying in Virginia Beach.

[Julian]

Arlington. Yeah.

[Damaris]

No, I was in Dupont Circle.

[Julian]

Oh, that's a great area.

[Damaris]

But it was the bikes go 11 miles hour. So I was trying my best. I was foot twisted metal.

[Maul]

If I would have saw Damaris on a scooter after that festival, like to just ride past me on. I got to be high on U.

[Damaris]

Street and I. I discovered the little bell I beeping at like, you know, the little ding ding, like to get.

[Maul]

Out your way or like you Want their number?

[Damaris]

No, cuz I wanted their number.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

You was mad horny in D.C. god.

[Maul]

Damn, it was hot outside.

[Rory]

Yeah, the heat definitely does.

[Maul]

Hot and humid.

[Rory]

Y'all were ball. Y'all were staying, weren't you? At the Ritz or some or that was Sean. No, you guys were like balling out in D.C. went to the Courtyard Marriott. That was walking distance from the grounds.

[Maul]

I wasn't staying at no Ritz. It was a nice hotel, but it wasn't the Ritz.

[Rory]

The last time I was in that Courtyard Marriott at Navy Yard, I saw littletario at the height of Littletario at.

[Damaris]

The height of Lil.

[Rory]

The height.

[Damaris]

Like he was so fat.

[Rory]

Like he was at tro.

[Julian]

What were you doing down there?

[Rory]

I was there for Trollectro. And yes, at 2:00 in the morning, Lotterio was in the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott and people were forcing him to do the like. Imagine a sea of drunk people in a Courtyard Marriott going, ooh, ooh, kill him. Ooh, kill him.

[Damaris]

And you were right there.

[Rory]

Oo, yes. Laughing my ass as a kid.

[Maul]

It's a child. He needs to be upstairs sleeping right now.

[Rory]

That was, I think, one of the first times I did Molly. So I was on Molly watching little Terio dance.

[Damaris]

Oh, no.

[Rory]

I should have been. I should have been arrested.

[Damaris]

That's to be remembered.

[Julian]

That's great. That's like up there with the SeaWorld show. I would love that. And going into your lobby and little terriers to do.

[Maul]

That's like a glitch in the Matrix. I would love another glitch in the Matrix. Like, where am I at right now? This can't be real.

[Damaris]

Did y'all see Gunna? I meant to ask. Did y'all see Gunna?

[Rory]

No, I left.

[Damaris]

I got knocked down by two grown ass men. Because when Gunna played his first song, a sea of men ran.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Like they had seen Lil Romeo and Bow Wow at the same time in the mall in O2. Like they were knocking me out. Like I'm like, damn. Well, excuse like Gunna's. He's gonna. That's. I don't know. That's gay. Y'all know I don't say a lot of shit is gay. Y'all get a lot of gay shit off. That's gay, bro. You scuffing your. Your kids to go run to see another man. That's insane.

[Rory]

Okay, but you cried at his last.

[Julian]

Yeah, I was about to say you cried to push and pee.

[Damaris]

I cried because it was nice seeing him. Out of jail with his mom.

[Rory]

Cuz he was on molly. That's why you cry.

[Damaris]

I was. It was nice seeing him out of jail and like getting his. Just doing whatever. And I like Guna. I wanted to see Guna too. But why are you a grown ass 600 pound man running to go see gunna bro?

[Rory]

Cuz he paid his. His ticket.

[Maul]

40 bucks, man.

[Damaris]

All right.

[Maul]

Said all access VIP.

[Damaris]

We gotta stop some. Can't be.

[Rory]

Okay, but that's regular though. It's nastier in the club. I mean, at least maybe he was just a music connoisseur and love gunna. It's when. When men in the club like move women out the way to try to get in the section of a rapper.

[Julian]

The club is.

[Rory]

That's gay. But I don't. He just was an avid.

[Damaris]

You keep saying he. All of them. It wasn't he. It hit them.

[Maul]

They were probably gay.

[Damaris]

Thank you, mom.

[Maul]

It was some gay. It was a lot of gay guys there.

[Rory]

Yeah. DC's like a mini Atlanta in that regard.

[Damaris]

Was one was dragging his girlfriend. She had heels on. He like trying to run. He dragging her down the strip.

[Maul]

She had heels on?

[Julian]

Yes.

[Maul]

At a festival.

[Damaris]

A couple girls had heels on.

[Maul]

Dumb as y'all are bugging the out. It's way too much walking at a festival. That's crazy.

[Damaris]

Wasn't walking there. Sitting in vip.

[Maul]

Oh, well, yeah, like Rory. Now Rory's.

[Rory]

You had the same credentials that I did. What are you talking about? Why you trying to make me into this person? Y'all had the same credential.

[Maul]

Rory was sitting in center field in the top of the bleachers in the corner. That was funny. When I turned around, I looked up and I saw Rory and his family. I said, yo, he's at the festival, but he ain't at the festival.

[Rory]

No, I was.

[Maul]

This is like ducked off. This is like ducked off in the. In the sky. Like, yo, I could see everything from up here.

[Damaris]

He didn't even want the free liquor. Like when I found out Rory was paying for liquor, I said, oh yeah, you. You don't even want vip.

[Maul]

Support Broccoli City. Support. Support the fellow colors. Julian.

[Julian]

Yes.

[Maul]

Do we have any voicemails? You've got mail.

[Julian]

We have a few. Rory just mentioned taking Molly, so I figured this one pairs well with bad habits.

[Maul]

Okay. Yo, yo, this is somewhat of a call back. I called a while ago, explained to y'all that my ex wife and her new boyfriend are gonna take my daughter a couple states away. And I wanted to sit down with him and have a man to man conversation without being physically violent. He ended up convincing, you know, ducking the meet up twice and rescheduling. And I've yet to sit down with this man and have that conversation. So let's call back to that just.

[Julian]

To, you know, how does this tie.

[Maul]

In the wheel on that. But my new question is, here's the question. What is or was your last.

[Julian]

Bad.

[Maul]

Habit that you've had to break?

[Rory]

Horrors, for sure.

[Maul]

I'm going through something now and I'm trying to get over this bad habit. So what's one thing that you had to break and how did you go about breaking that bad habit? Love to hear what you got going on. Yeah, love you guys.

[Rory]

Peace. Well, Ma, you're still going through your bad habit veganism. Maybe we could talk about how you can break that cycle.

[Damaris]

Eating vegetables. Being your bad habit is thick.

[Maul]

It's great.

[Rory]

I don't know. I don't really break bad habits.

[Julian]

That's an honest answer.

[Maul]

Bad habit.

[Rory]

Well, I'm gotten back to working out. I was, I mean, because of the whole kid thing, I was definitely unhealthy, but that's natural for Newfoundland.

[Maul]

I don't know if that's a bad.

[Rory]

Habit, but I mean, I'm back to the healthier lifestyle and that it just takes discipline. I feel like breaking habits, you can't really use that therapy. Like, you just need to say, stop being a. Stop being pussy and have some discipline. Be a man, look in the mirror, be an adult and stop doing what you're doing. I don't think there's that easy. Let's talk about our feelings now. Be a man and stop. Stop it.

[Maul]

I think the one bad habit that I've actively broken is being on my phone when I'm at dinner with people. Okay, well, I mean, I've noticed that, like, I don't. I don't do that until the check.

[Rory]

Comes, then almost at all anymore.

[Maul]

Well, I gotta do math on a calculator.

[Rory]

Yeah, for sure. That's the only time.

[Maul]

Yeah, that's what I gotta. You know, we pick up if you.

[Rory]

Were on the phone with Meg's dancers. Yeah, that's a bad habit. Focus on the dancer.

[Damaris]

No.

[Maul]

All right, see, listen, we weren't at the same table. We were like a table apart from each other.

[Damaris]

You know, one thing about he gonna pay a bill that ain't his.

[Maul]

It was like this. It was like from here to where? A little. Where this camera's in Philly.

[Rory]

He. I ordered dinner. He didn't pay the bill. I gotta dance for Meg now.

[Maul]

Order dinner. Where?

[Rory]

I don't know. I'm just talking.

[Maul]

Sh. How about say I wasn't even with you at dinner in Philly. What did you laugh?

[Damaris]

White people lying.

[Rory]

Yeah, definitely lying.

[Maul]

But yeah, being on my phone when I'm at dinner with people, it's a bad habit. I don't do that anymore. I be more present with the music, meal, ordering.

[Damaris]

Ordering out to eat. Like ordering food instead of cooking when I have, like, perfectly good food in my refrigerator. I. I used to do that a lot. I've kicked that bad habit.

[Rory]

All right, so we all have, like, answers. Julian, how'd you get off?

[Julian]

Coke ass. Bad habits. Kind of put my phone.

[Maul]

Yeah, well, I'm not a druggie, so grow up.

[Damaris]

I don't want to kick.

[Rory]

Go get a real vibe.

[Maul]

Sorry.

[Rory]

Go get a gambling problem.

[Maul]

Smoking weed a bad habit.

[Julian]

Yeah. It's not good for you.

[Maul]

How can smoking weed be a bad habit?

[Julian]

It leads to it. Oh, go ahead.

[Rory]

It's not really good.

[Damaris]

He's not gonna do heroin off weed.

[Maul]

Julie.

[Julian]

I'm not saying it's a gateway drug. I'm saying it can lead to a lazy lifestyle. That's what I was gonna say.

[Rory]

Well, some people. Some people don't handle weed.

[Maul]

We just seen Snoop. Snoop is one of the biggest weed connoisseurs in the world. He's working.

[Julian]

He's an anomaly.

[Maul]

He's working harder than LeBron at the Olympics.

[Rory]

Definitely harder than Jason Tatum.

[Maul]

Yeah. So that lazy. That lazy.

[Julian]

That's one person. Person.

[Maul]

Analogical, analytical.

[Damaris]

Anna analogy.

[Rory]

Anna was a bad hat.

[Maul]

That. That lazy analogy is out the window because Snoop is.

[Rory]

But some people react to weed differently.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like I literally working harder than small miles in Paris.

[Damaris]

All right, all right, let's not drag.

[Maul]

Yes. He's at every event. Swimming, backgammon, Team usa.

[Julian]

If there was a backgammon, I'll be there right now.

[Maul]

Snoop. Y'all don't see Snoop. Snoop. And all these events are like. It's like festivals. They at the same. Some of these events start at the same time.

[Rory]

Yeah. How was he there?

[Maul]

How was he there?

[Julian]

There's multiple.

[Maul]

Yeah. So that. That he was at the.

[Rory]

Surfing across the world.

[Maul]

That la. He carried the torch like that lazy weed goes out the window. Snoop is not lazy at all. He working triple overtime.

[Julian]

Yeah. Cocaine. Not even close to Rory's point. Sometimes you just. You need to. Sometimes rock bottom needs to happen for you to get a wake up.

[Rory]

I, of course, respect addictions and those. How Difficult. That can. But a lot of times, like, it really needs to just stop being a pussy.

[Julian]

How rock bottom was. I mean, like, mentally, I was ready to die.

[Damaris]

You didn't sell your ass.

[Rory]

That was because you was listening to, like, Weekend at the same time.

[Julian]

No, like, I mean, we could joke about it, but, like, I had this whole vision of, like, if I overdose, at least I'd be the kid that overdose doing Teach for America and, like, getting his master's in education. I was like, that's like a cool. Like, that's like a nice.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah.

[Julian]

You had so much potential.

[Damaris]

You think that's pretentious either at. Even at rock bottom?

[Julian]

Well, because you're thinking about how your legacy or, like, what would be looked. Yeah. Like, it obviously did coke. What does coke. Big deal. But, like, I was like, at least in.

[Maul]

Everyone doesn't do coke.

[Rory]

But it's not really accurate.

[Julian]

All right, word. Four out of five people in this room have done coke.

[Rory]

One trying something and. And doing something is different. I feel like.

[Damaris]

Yo, Molly. Molly.

[Maul]

Heads.

[Damaris]

Y'all don't get to shame coke. Okay? Y'all don't get to shame coke just because y'all didn't snort it.

[Rory]

A lot of people snort molly.

[Julian]

I've snorted molly.

[Damaris]

I've snorted molly before.

[Maul]

Snorting molly is idiot.

[Julian]

Well, you just really have to make sure.

[Rory]

Way more regular than you think it is.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah.

[Julian]

This is. This is long time.

[Rory]

And you have to make sure was there. I didn't know what to do, Norton.

[Julian]

Molly, you really have to make sure it's broken down, because snorting a rock is, like, that's not fun, bro.

[Maul]

I won't even put flonase in my nose. Molly. No. Can never imagine snorting.

[Rory]

I've never. But I don't like snorting things. That's probably why coke was never for me.

[Maul]

Yeah, I can't. I can't put eye drops, bro.

[Rory]

Snorting. It's just. I'm cool.

[Maul]

I still bump into a lit instant and get like, what the. Like, so putting something in my nose is like.

[Julian]

Well, getting lit on fire is drastically different than pretty much the same thing.

[Maul]

I mean, if it's not even remotely bad coke, your nose, it feel like it's on fire.

[Julian]

No, no, not really.

[Maul]

Okay, pause.

[Rory]

I didn't have the throat for coke either.

[Damaris]

Oh, yeah.

[Maul]

Snoring Coke is not like when you jump in the pool and get water in your nose.

[Julian]

Not at all. No, it's not at all. It's. It's actually. It's pretty clean. Like, If. If all is good, the drugs are clean, all that, whatever. Like, it's. It's a pleasurable experience. Like, people have, like, an oral fixation, like, with cigarettes and just, you know, usual. I need to have a drink in my hand at all times. Coke can more or less become one of those things where you're, like. You just. You're addicted to, like, the process. Like, you just like the feeling of.

[Rory]

Like, that, like, being in dirty bathrooms with strangers.

[Julian]

Yeah, I didn't really give a. Where it was. I've done. I've done. The first time I did coke in Chicago when I moved there was off a Tesla in a parking garage.

[Rory]

But that switch swag.

[Maul]

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

[Julian]

Yeah, but I got so many. So many ridiculously disgusting Teslas.

[Rory]

Was around the first time you did.

[Julian]

Did co. Well, when did they come out?

[Damaris]

We're supposed to be helping this man break a habit, and we're convincing our users.

[Julian]

Tesla came out in 2008.

[Maul]

Kadas play.

[Rory]

It's.

[Julian]

It was. It was. I moved to Chicago in 2015, so they were around. Okay, yeah.

[Rory]

But now Tesla's been around since 2008.

[Julian]

Yeah. The Roadster.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Most people just couldn't afford one into 2016.

[Julian]

The Model S, which was like, the more common one, got introduced in 2012.

[Rory]

I read. Is it true that Elon Musk bought Tesla? He didn't start it. I read that the other day. He's not actually the founder or creator of Tesla. He's not the genius that we make him out to be. He just bought it from the two people that started it.

[Julian]

I don't know. I'm sure. Who gives a. Yeah, break. Break a bad habit. At least from my experience, you have to, to kind of find a new habit. Go full send it. And then it got to a point where I was like, I don't want to let this addiction control me. Like, I always want to be in control of the addiction. And then I felt like I was losing my grip at a certain point, and I was like, well, if I'm going to. If I am the person that I think that I am, then I can quit this at any time. So then I just called turkey, and then that was it.

[Rory]

At the height of your Coke usage, how many movies did you show your students? Like, how many days did you walk?

[Julian]

No, see, this is the misconception. You have been painting. I've never did drugs while I was teaching. Never. Because I tried going to teach hungover one time, like, the second week of school, being in a classroom Full of kids. Hungover is the worst. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. It's awful. So I did all of my drug and alcohol intake Friday night, Saturday night, and then if it was like a holiday weekend, I would, you know, whatever day I didn't have to go into the classroom.

[Damaris]

Couldn't wait.

[Maul]

A king day to get an extra.

[Damaris]

Day to get homie on Thursday.

[Julian]

Shout out Martin Luther. The King.

[Maul]

Martin Luther King. Nah, it's the king, right?

[Julian]

Yeah. Yeah, I crowned my nostrils that day.

[Rory]

Well, yeah, look. Look at yourself in the mirror. Say, stop being a. And get some discipline.

[Julian]

I wonder what his. What he's referring to. What's his bad habit?

[Damaris]

Checking his ex's Instagram.

[Rory]

That's probably what it is.

[Julian]

Like, if it is like, a phone thing, then yeah, just. I. I'm. Delete. Delete the app blocker. Like, yeah, do that.

[Rory]

Or just beat the. Out of her new boyfriend. You'll feel better.

[Damaris]

You won't want to kick it till you really want to kick it. You won't kick it till you really want to kick it. Not when you have to kick it till you want to kick it. That's when you'll kick it.

[Rory]

Or I mean, rehab facilities, like, are in Vegas, Florida. Like, just go have. Go have a good two weeks.

[Julian]

Yo, I found out a friend of mine did a rehab stuff, but he went to Minnesota.

[Rory]

All my friends went to Vegas.

[Julian]

I was like, why wouldn't you go to, like, if I. If I ever got to that point, send me to Hawaii. Like, I'm going somewhere worthwhile.

[Rory]

Vegas being, like, one of the main areas for rehab is kind of funny to me. I mean, I get it because all the vices are in Vegas, but, like, why would I go to Vegas? To kick a half.

[Julian]

Immersion therapies.

[Damaris]

Yeah, immersion therapy.

[Rory]

Like, what am I doing?

[Julian]

Here's a room full of.

[Rory]

Imagine driving down the Strip on your way to rehab.

[Maul]

You know, I guess you gotta. Sometimes you gotta put the vice right in front of you. If you healed.

[Rory]

I get it.

[Maul]

You know what I'm saying it.

[Rory]

We have another voicemail.

[Julian]

Yes, this is. Let's give somebody some bachelor party advice.

[Rory]

Hey, guys, it's Chris from Cortland, New York. Big fan of the Pod Red Dragons. And I got to see you guys live last year in the city, and that was great.

[Maul]

So, yeah, we are getting married next year and just starting to think about my bachelor party, and I figured I'd.

[Rory]

Ask you guys to use your imagination.

[Maul]

A little, especially Mom. What would your bachelor party look like.

[Julian]

That'S a great shot at you, by the way.

[Maul]

You, Chris?

[Julian]

That's a great shot.

[Rory]

He was with his queen this weekend. It's cool.

[Maul]

Yo, why is he putting these women on? That's crazy, Rory.

[Damaris]

Hate being the only one in a relationship in this room.

[Rory]

What?

[Maul]

What?

[Julian]

All right, let's keep going.

[Rory]

Oh, just a reminder, though. While he's bringing up bachelor parties and marriage and everything, remember the couple that came to the DC show and he gave us a invite to his wedding and was like, yo, it's a surprise, but I would love for you guys to come to the wedding. It was in Chevy Chase, Maryland.

[Maul]

Yes.

[Julian]

So bcc.

[Rory]

I went out of my way. I didn't mean I didn't go to the wedding, but I had the invite and I sent them flowers on the day of.

[Maul]

That was nice.

[Rory]

You'll see it in the accounting. It's like a hundred dollars worth of. Worth of flowers. Like, I thought it was cool. He wrote us a really nice note and was like, yo, we'd love to have you guys at the wedding. Clearly, I'm just not taking a quick weekend trip to Chevy Chase, Maryland, for someone's wedding. But I thought sending flowers from the whole team would have been cool. Cool. Wrote the note in the whole flowers dot com. Yeah, they charged us and never delivered the flowers. I got like, a return email of like, yo, we couldn't figure it out. I was like, well, refund me then. Oh, nothing back.

[Maul]

Damn.

[Rory]

Oh, that's so I hope if you're listening, to the gentleman that invited us to his wedding in D.C. we sent flowers and we sent a note. It just never came back. I will show you the receipt in my email to prove that we cared.

[Julian]

About your wedding and congratulations.

[Maul]

Yeah, congrats. Sorry, the rose, the flowers didn't make make it, but damn, that's whack. But can you finish the story?

[Julian]

Yeah, let's finish this.

[Rory]

I just reminded me that I did want to talk about that on the pod. So they know we tried.

[Maul]

Yep.

[Rory]

What are some things that, you know, you think would be cool to do or you think would be lame? Are there cities that you would never.

[Maul]

Want to have a bachelor party or.

[Rory]

That you think, you know would be kind of fun? And then last question would be mall. Is it hip hop to have a.

[Maul]

Bachelor party with a bachelor party?

[Julian]

Part bachelorette party.

[Rory]

Let me know.

[Maul]

Thank you.

[Julian]

Bye.

[Maul]

Can I answer his question to me first?

[Rory]

Go ahead.

[Maul]

Hell no. That's not hip hop. No. Party with the bachelor party.

[Rory]

Can't cheat in front of your wife.

[Maul]

Party? Yeah.

[Damaris]

See, y'all selfish.

[Maul]

Yeah, don't do that.

[Damaris]

Y'all selfish. Because if you have the bachelorettes and the bachelor party together, you just got for all your homeboys without even trying.

[Julian]

That's not how that works.

[Maul]

Or we can order escorts and still get everybody.

[Rory]

Honestly is cheaper. Yo, the way Damaris volunteers other women's.

[Damaris]

Is crazy all of a sudden.

[Rory]

All of her friends is getting now automatically if we do bachelor and bachelor party. I'm all your friends.

[Maul]

Game night together all the time. Nobody. But it's a bachelorette and a bachelor party. Oh, no. We all.

[Rory]

You just raffle off. Anyway.

[Damaris]

The crazy thing is I'll be giving y'all the knowledge, and y'all don't want to. Perspective.

[Maul]

Get your ass off.

[Damaris]

Desperate single women are.

[Rory]

What's the mathematics of today?

[Damaris]

Friend get married. You're watching your best friend get married. You're drunk, you're single, and it's a bunch of men.

[Maul]

Like, yeah, it sounds like I'll be at the podium apologizing for sexual harassment.

[Damaris]

Why do y'all. I didn't say take them against their will.

[Maul]

Then you said they're drunk.

[Damaris]

Women like you have to do it.

[Maul]

I know.

[Julian]

That's where parties are whack because every other in the crew's married or, like, is pregnant. Like, get the out of here or.

[Maul]

Sticking about getting married. Best friend got married.

[Rory]

I don't think I've ever been to a bachelor party.

[Maul]

You never really. Bachelor party?

[Rory]

I don't think so.

[Maul]

How were you a frat?

[Damaris]

Never got a chance.

[Julian]

They don't with you?

[Maul]

I.

[Rory]

All my friends that got married never really had one.

[Maul]

You just went out with all your frat brothers the other night in Philly. They all are married. They all.

[Rory]

I didn't go out anywhere.

[Maul]

Huh?

[Rory]

Oh, in Philly. I'm confused. In D.C. philly, yeah.

[Maul]

They all show me their rings at the same time in unison, like, we're married. I was like, I'm not.

[Rory]

Zo had. Zo had kids before he was married. So, like, yeah, most of my friends had kids and then got married. So, like that whole thing. Okay.

[Maul]

None of them had bachelor parties.

[Rory]

There was one bachelor party of one of my frat brothers, but that was in Dr. And I couldn't make it. That's the only time I can think.

[Julian]

Definitely don't want to bring the hose to Dr. Oh, that.

[Maul]

You know, that one was.

[Rory]

One of my God bros was. Had a bachelor party in Colombia, but I couldn't make it either. I think we were on the road.

[Maul]

Damn, you came in. That's. That's two classics.

[Rory]

But, like, how do you. How do you even tell your girl I'm going to a bachelor party in Colombia?

[Maul]

Just like that. Just like that.

[Rory]

Some wholesome.

[Julian]

Yeah, my brother did that. Kendall went on a bachelor party in Colombia.

[Rory]

I'm sure they just caught some rays.

[Maul]

Kendall ain't get crazy.

[Damaris]

He caught more than that.

[Maul]

Kendall don't look like he got.

[Rory]

No, he had to go to Columbia so he could get crazy. It's the only place he can kind.

[Maul]

Of look like he got crazy.

[Julian]

Those days are long gone.

[Maul]

Kendall. Like, he went out there and was, like, really, like, taking pictures?

[Julian]

Like, yeah, literally he did. Like, he went out there with a camera, like, like, sending me photos of, like, our architecture.

[Maul]

Yeah, like, he ain't go out there. He didn't go to the script. No, he ain't going selling that ass. Ass and cold bill on that strip. I know that you can get an.

[Julian]

Eight ball for, like, 50 cents.

[Maul]

Yeah. That's a fact.

[Rory]

What would you guys. I mean, to sort of answer his question, what would you guys do for your bachelor party? I don't really have, like, bachelor party dreams.

[Julian]

Like, last one I went to was in Nashville. I would avoid a bachelor party city. Nashville is known for that. Everywhere you go out, it's groups of like 10 to 20. It's. Oh, it's annoying as it's all shitty cover band music. There's like, one street that everybody walks down. Like, where that hawk to a said she spits on dick. Like, it's like. It's like that crowd. You do not want to go there. So I would say avoid Nashville.

[Maul]

Avoid Nashville. Don't have a bachelor party in Nashville.

[Rory]

Yeah, I feel like I would avoid the Vegas or anything like that. Like, go to Houston or some. Go to Toronto.

[Maul]

You got to go. That's not a bad idea.

[Julian]

Toronto's not a bad idea.

[Maul]

That's not a bad idea for a bastard party. Toronto's not a bad idea.

[Julian]

Is it lame for me to say I might not even want to go to, like, a party city? Maybe just because, like, the lifestyle that we live, like, we do that.

[Rory]

That. That's why I really have no, like, desires.

[Julian]

I would. I wouldn't mind going to, like, the Cut and, like, doing, like, let's get a bunch of guys. Like, let's rent, like, a luxury cabin or some and, like, hike and, like, ride ATVs palooza.

[Rory]

We did. We did 22 dates a year.

[Julian]

Like, Yeah, I don't need more.

[Rory]

I kind of did it already.

[Julian]

I don't need more in Houston.

[Maul]

Like, I don't need more in Houston. Gotten all the I need in Houston. Let's go to, like, stod.

[Rory]

I don't even know that. You can't even spell.

[Julian]

What is that?

[Maul]

You never. Y'all never heard of stod?

[Rory]

No.

[Maul]

Europe, right? G, S, T, A, A, D. Where is that located? See, man, y'all not cultured, man. Y'all gotta go to stock.

[Rory]

That's just probably in the Bronx.

[Damaris]

Silent. So somewhere near Germany. I would have one.

[Julian]

No, Switzerland. Ah, you want to do your party in Switzerland?

[Rory]

I mean, it's where I have my money.

[Julian]

That's so inconvenient.

[Maul]

Go to St. Bro.

[Rory]

It looks beautiful. Have you been there before?

[Maul]

No, I want to go to.

[Rory]

But, like, how do you know about this place? What's the connection?

[Damaris]

Where the bougie people go to.

[Julian]

It's a known spot.

[Rory]

I see. I'm not coaching.

[Julian]

It was Rory. It was named the place by Time magazine in the 1960s.

[Maul]

I mean, you got to place, right?

[Rory]

Did pitchfork give it 7.6?

[Maul]

Probably did. This is an Ice Spice album.

[Julian]

Enter. Doing one internationally I think is a dick move. You got to do something domestically.

[Damaris]

Unless you're paying for it for everybody.

[Julian]

Yeah, because also, where's the wedding? Is the wedding local, or is it like a semi destination wedding or an actual destination wedding? You can't have people travel twice for you.

[Rory]

But, yeah, that's a lot.

[Julian]

I had one of my. My friend that I did the bachelor party in Nashville. His wedding was in the south of France. And I was like, this is too much. It's a lot. A lot of moving.

[Maul]

Should have a bachelor party in Joshua Tree.

[Julian]

That'd be tight.

[Rory]

I wouldn't be mad at that.

[Julian]

I would actually. That's more.

[Maul]

Big ass house, big ass pool. Have some, you know, workers fly driving from. From Santa Monica.

[Rory]

Some workers, right? Like, you know, some assistance. Some union workers, some teamsters.

[Julian]

The street team.

[Maul]

Yeah, I have the street team driving from Santa Monica.

[Damaris]

So I'm the only one that ever wanted to do a dual bachelor bachelorette. I always wanted.

[Maul]

That is terrible.

[Rory]

But you're. But you're bisexual, so you and your husband could, like, together.

[Maul]

I don't want to see no male strippers dancing.

[Damaris]

If you think a male stripper got. Could come anywhere near me, you got me up.

[Maul]

No, I mean, but some of your.

[Damaris]

Lady friends, them know me. They know not to get no male stripper around me.

[Maul]

Oh, if it ain't gonna be no male strippers, then I Don't think I've.

[Rory]

Ever, like, met a girl that was into male strippers.

[Julian]

No.

[Damaris]

I know some. They exist.

[Rory]

That's nasty.

[Julian]

That also, I'm thinking about, like, logistically, the odds of everybody in a construction.

[Rory]

Uniform just having his dick swinging around.

[Maul]

Just, like, just coming out to, like, Cisco and Drew Hills, like, yo, what you doing? How you get here in your life that's worse than doing, like, going on a coke binge and passing out in the alley a male stripper.

[Rory]

I mean, it wouldn't be a bad occupation.

[Maul]

A male stripper might be the worst occupation.

[Rory]

You don't want to dress up like a cop and then just throw your dick in an old woman's face.

[Julian]

I am a cop.

[Maul]

I am a cop. This is my cop.

[Julian]

The. Logistically, I always.

[Maul]

That is not a gun, ma'am.

[Julian]

I imagine that there's no way everybody in the bachelor party and the bachelorette party get along. So just off rip, there's someone doesn't like somebody, and there's got to be some tension along the way that would probably mess up that weekend.

[Rory]

And if we're about to get married, I feel like my friends have met your friends. Like, I know it's not. They would have fudged already if they were going to fudge.

[Damaris]

But. No, not exactly. But it's because everybody's from different places. But not even. I would never do it where we're doing everything else together. I would do. We're in the same city doing our own shit. So then at the end of the night, I get to go home with my fiancee. My fiancee gets.

[Maul]

You can't go home with your fiance the day before your wedding. Yeah.

[Rory]

You can't be seen or.

[Julian]

No, this isn't. This is nowhere near the wedding.

[Damaris]

The day before the wedding. People don't do that anymore.

[Julian]

Also, the bachelor bachelor party is not the day before the wedding. Wedding. It's nowhere.

[Rory]

That used to be what it was, though. The day before.

[Damaris]

Be like that. Which is stupid, though.

[Rory]

Like, why you want to be that hungover?

[Julian]

It's like about a month or so. Yeah.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Oh.

[Rory]

The only thing I've learned today is.

[Maul]

That'S a regular night out.

[Rory]

We should. We should hope to be in Damaris's wedding party because she's just offering up. I'm from all her.

[Damaris]

That sounds awful. I'm not just. No.

[Maul]

Whenever you decide to get married. Please.

[Damaris]

I'm not trafficking my friends. Please not.

[Maul]

Please.

[Damaris]

You can't do any. You want to be single so bad, go over there in the married People section. Leave the rest of us alone.

[Maul]

Yeah, this is the place.

[Rory]

I would be the shot room.

[Damaris]

Player section.

[Maul]

Player section. Right here.

[Damaris]

Don't sit over there next to.

[Julian]

What? No, I'm in that section. I'm in the player section.

[Maul]

No, you're not. You're. You're. You're in Cauliflower City, not Brock.

[Julian]

All right, well, if we're talk. If we're talking Damaris's friends.

[Maul]

He got me to.

[Damaris]

Now, if I go over there and slap the.

[Maul]

Out. You say, baby, don't do that. He didn't say nothing. He didn't.

[Rory]

Yes, he did.

[Maul]

No, he did.

[Rory]

Yes, he did.

[Maul]

No, he did.

[Rory]

Yes, he did.

[Maul]

He didn't say. He said.

[Rory]

He said a lot.

[Maul]

He said something, but he didn't say. Say anything. He said something.

[Rory]

He said everything.

[Maul]

He made a statement, but it wasn't. You gotta kind of crack the code if, you know. You know, this is me right now.

[Rory]

But that wasn't. That wasn't very player of him, though.

[Maul]

No, that wasn't exactly.

[Damaris]

Players would never say like that.

[Julian]

You calling me over there. Go sit over there. All right.

[Maul]

You can't argue with him. That's. See, that's what I'm saying. You can't even argue as much as you want to say. Nah, you ain't no player. You can't argue with the fact. Facts. You can't argue with it.

[Rory]

I was a big supporter of it.

[Maul]

Oh, so. Oh, so you're complicit with it?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

I'm always encouraging free love. I love love.

[Damaris]

Okay, well, my bachelor rep party. Y'all can come. It's gonna be unisex.

[Julian]

Where would you want to do it, Damaris?

[Damaris]

I used to want to do Vegas really bad. I was young, stupid. I was young and stupid, and I used to want to do. Because, like, I saw the Hangover, and I wanted to have one of those nights. Like, I wanted there to be a tiger and miss your wedding.

[Maul]

Oh, my God.

[Damaris]

Missing friends. Like I wanted then. Now I would definitely want to do somewhere like Damaris wanted.

[Maul]

What the. In the movie didn't want. They didn't even mean to have that type of night. Like, that was the worst night of their life.

[Damaris]

It seemed fun, though. No, I would probably do somewhere tropical. Big house. Girls have our own house. The guys have their own house.

[Rory]

And, like, you're not about to put me in a house with a bunch of strange men. I don't know, because I'm not a.

[Damaris]

Cheater, and I'm not about to go out and have all this fun and not come home. And my fiance. So you need to be in the same city as me. You do whatever you want with your friends. Go lick strippers. Whatever you want to do.

[Rory]

Well, I mean, I want to have.

[Damaris]

Sex after my bachelorette, and I'm not a cheater, so you got to be available. Then you go back to your friends.

[Rory]

Let me ask you guys, if you want to have a bachelor party, can your girl have a bachelorette party?

[Julian]

Yeah, of course.

[Rory]

Are you gonna, like, ask her? What.

[Damaris]

What happened?

[Rory]

What's on the agenda? What's on the docket?

[Julian]

No, like, what did. I mean, I would probably offer as much information as I'm gonna get. Like, hey, we're going to do fill in the blank city. And then, like, you know, maybe whatever itinerary we have. Golfing, like, obviously.

[Rory]

How would you feel if a dick ended up on your fiance's forehead at said party?

[Julian]

No, like, that's not cool. I'm good on that one.

[Damaris]

Are you? Well, if she had a male stripper. I hate male strippers. But to be fair, like, me and.

[Julian]

I don't even think the women don't even like male strippers.

[Maul]

Yeah, but if a girlfriend. If a girlfriend hired something you didn't know, like, if she didn't know, it's a girlfriend.

[Rory]

And then he just came. Woman dick on elephant, swirling around. And it just happened to hit you a girl in the face.

[Julian]

It's not happening.

[Rory]

How do you know? You can't control. You're not there.

[Julian]

No one's helicoptering their dick in your girl.

[Damaris]

You never know.

[Julian]

No, they look. Well, I'm looking at the list.

[Maul]

Yo, men be so.

[Julian]

Yo.

[Maul]

We are so fragile.

[Rory]

Yes. How many times have I admitted I'm fragile?

[Damaris]

Because y'all definitely gonna get some on y'all bachelor night for sure. So she have a dick in her face.

[Rory]

So you're admitting on cheating on your wife the day before your wife.

[Damaris]

Like you're planning on it. The wedding's doomed.

[Maul]

For sure.

[Damaris]

The wedding's doomed.

[Maul]

I'm. That's a fact.

[Julian]

A lot of these places. Look, I mean, this is number one.

[Rory]

Wouldn't. Because you'd have to wear a condom. Like, where?

[Damaris]

Because you don't got time to get it cleared up.

[Maul]

Yeah, like, no, give me a porn star. Like, they get tested, like, every two weeks.

[Rory]

Are you better like that? My bad.

[Julian]

Montreal would be kind of fun.

[Rory]

Montreal would be a lot of fun.

[Julian]

Costa Rica.

[Maul]

Beautiful.

[Damaris]

Oh, y'all are so old.

[Maul]

Why?

[Rory]

Because we like Montreal.

[Damaris]

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying.

[Maul]

I'm just real.

[Damaris]

I hear your.

[Rory]

Wait, the part.

[Damaris]

No.

[Maul]

You want to go to Aspen?

[Rory]

Aspen would be a lot of fun.

[Damaris]

Aspen will be fun. With somebody you love. You don't want to go, Ash. With your friends.

[Maul]

You don't love your friends.

[Rory]

Got you there.

[Julian]

Damn.

[Damaris]

Ate me up. My bad.

[Julian]

Big friend.

[Maul]

Love your friends. Damn. She A bachelor party. Gotta love the girls that's with you, right?

[Damaris]

Mine? No, you want Aspen.

[Maul]

Nah, that ain't true.

[Rory]

We can fly them out there.

[Maul]

I mean, just for a bachelor. For a bachelor thing. Not that I want for life, but, like, maybe a bachelor.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm sure there's attractive women in Aspen.

[Maul]

For sure. Absolutely. I don't like. I'm not trying to ma. I got my wife going.

[Rory]

Going to LA for your bachelor party is the craziest thing I've ever.

[Julian]

What an awful city to go to.

[Damaris]

This man. No, we gave this man no advice.

[Rory]

You know, we said go to a city that's not like the typical Vegas.

[Damaris]

But maybe that, though. Maybe he wants.

[Maul]

Nah, he don't sound like he want that. He sound like he want his girl with him. He want his wife with him at his bachelor party. I don't.

[Julian]

My thing is too, like, I don't know, like, the. The life you lead. But, like, for me, like, it's not about when I go trips. I don't need to meet new people. I just want to get up with the guys that, like, are my friends already. So, like, I'm cool with, like, the really long pregame. Just getting hammered at the crib, the Airbnb, wherever we're staying, and then just, like, maybe hit a bar or two. But I don't need to, like, let's go meet all that. Let's just get shitfaced together and, like, tell stories.

[Rory]

You guys probably won't believe me, but I'm on that side as far.

[Julian]

It's so much more fun. I'm not trying to meet new people.

[Rory]

Even though it is pretty gay to just. Just like, hammer shots with the fellas in a. At a resort and not see a woman. But I'm always.

[Maul]

Just keep telling them how much you love them. Yo, I love you, bro. Fam, you drunk. Get out my ear, man.

[Rory]

Like, I've never been that type of.

[Maul]

I don't even drink well.

[Damaris]

Yeah, well, when you drink, you think.

[Maul]

I get high and be like, yo, I love you, bro. Get the out of here. I be quiet when I'm smoking. Leave me alone.

[Rory]

You only get drunk alone and tell her that you love her. That's the only one.

[Julian]

Brooklyn is on this list.

[Damaris]

If you're not. If you're from, like, Utah, Brooklyn for your bachelorette and bachelor might be fire.

[Maul]

You might get killed in Brooklyn on your bachelor.

[Damaris]

Brooklyn is not like, 80s.

[Rory]

Brooklyn is still like that. I don't know what the you talking.

[Damaris]

About it is, but it's still.

[Maul]

The wolves is going crazy right now. The wolves, they outside going crazy in.

[Rory]

They're united.

[Maul]

Yeah, like, what are we talking about? Brooklyn is not crazy. Don't let Williams Williamsburg is not just Brooklyn. It's other.

[Julian]

Bushwick is soft, too.

[Damaris]

Don't tell me.

[Rory]

I. Brooklyn go to Bushwick houses and say soft.

[Maul]

Bushwick is wearing that outfit, too. Those pants and those.

[Julian]

I used to live in Bushwick wearing this outfit.

[Damaris]

He looked like he belong in Bushwick.

[Maul]

He. He's a narc. Yo, look at that cop.

[Rory]

Any city that can unite the Bloods and Crips to create, like, a Voltron gang is not soft.

[Maul]

Yeah, no, I'm cool.

[Damaris]

No, they definitely not soft.

[Maul]

Rory.

[Damaris]

You get drunk and tired of telling.

[Rory]

People you love them. No, that's never been my thing.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah. Not really. I don't. I have trouble with that word to begin with. With.

[Julian]

So what. What did you even say? I didn't even hear what you said.

[Damaris]

I said, that's just me. I do that. I get drunk and be like, yo, real. I kill somebody about y'all. That's me. I do all the time.

[Maul]

Seattle seems like a fun bachelor party city.

[Damaris]

Yeah, you really like Seattle?

[Rory]

You catching fish with the fellas?

[Maul]

Yeah. Go whale watching.

[Rory]

It's very far. Because when I went to Seattle after my album release and we were there for like a week, I tried to go whale watching, but it's like three hours hours away. Yeah, that's just like, basically Canada.

[Maul]

It. Let's do it.

[Rory]

I would go whale watching with the fellas from my bachelor.

[Maul]

Oh, yeah. That's some fun to do with the fellas. Yeah, yeah, the whale watching and go tail watching.

[Rory]

They. I mean, they was there in Seattle.

[Maul]

Of course. Seattle.

[Julian]

That was a fun night.

[Rory]

They was out there.

[Julian]

Fun night.

[Maul]

It was a gem of a city. I like Seattle a lot.

[Rory]

But all them. All those girls weren't from Seattle. Right. Didn't they, like, fly in for the show or something?

[Maul]

Some, for our show. And we didn't spay them. We didn't pay them special attention.

[Rory]

Yeah, we got in the Uber with them.

[Julian]

Was that Seattle? Seattle was the DUI night, right?

[Maul]

Oh, the girls that y'all yeah, that.

[Rory]

Was a DUI night.

[Maul]

The girls that got an Uber with y'all know they were from. I think they were from Canada.

[Rory]

Yeah, some like that.

[Julian]

Same Vancouver.

[Rory]

Probably not. It's a different country.

[Maul]

I mean, but it's. It's like on New York, New Jersey.

[Rory]

One can vote for president. One can.

[Julian]

Doing a bachelor party in. In Canada would probably like, I'm on board. Do a Toronto or Montreal thing if you want to do something. Something different outside of the states.

[Rory]

That's not a bad Toronto in August for your bachelor party would be. That'd be the move.

[Julian]

It'd be fun. I'm on that side. Go there, get back.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Find something out there that you like. Listen, I'm never coming home.

[Rory]

How. What do you think the percentage is of men getting caught up? Or we can say women too, at their bachelor party right before their wedding?

[Damaris]

75.

[Rory]

How many weddings do you think have been called off or been awkward because of bachelor party activities?

[Maul]

Like bachelor party going crazy. Somebody had sexual intercourse.

[Damaris]

Oh, well, maybe like 45% caught. I would say 45% caught.

[Maul]

And I'm going.

[Rory]

Getting caught at your bachelor party?

[Maul]

Yeah, maybe like 8% get caught.

[Damaris]

I don't know about that.

[Rory]

Getting caught is crazy. You're paying the girl to shut up.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like, how am I. How. How I get caught in my bachelor party phone?

[Damaris]

That phone. How everybody gets caught these days. That phone.

[Maul]

Who has a phone out at my bachelor party?

[Damaris]

Somebody post something.

[Julian]

That's not good friends.

[Maul]

Yeah. Put those phone. What are we doing? It's ass all in this.

[Rory]

And if you still text the whore that you fucked on your bachelor party, like, you deserve to be caught. Like if she go through your phone and see text messages from the stripper you was fucking.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like you still talking.

[Rory]

You deserve to be caught.

[Maul]

Yeah. You're an idiot. Yeah. Sir. I would say Montreal, Joshua Tree.

[Julian]

Toronto.

[Maul]

Toronto. Maybe somewhere where they have a game. You guys can catch a game together. Football, a basketball game, something like that.

[Rory]

Maybe a new Roaring Mall show in Detroit or Chicago. That's August.

[Maul]

Horrible idea for bastard party.

[Julian]

Chicago's up here. Chicago's on the. Chicago's a great.

[Maul]

Chicago's a nice city.

[Julian]

Bachelor party city.

[Rory]

It's a great bachelor party city.

[Julian]

I mean it. It can be.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Just go to Old Block and, you know, see what everybody's doing.

[Rory]

Risky.

[Julian]

No one hangs out there.

[Damaris]

Plenty of people hang out there. You don't hang out.

[Julian]

You don't hang out there.

[Maul]

Definitely nobody.

[Rory]

I don't hang out.

[Rory]

Oh, we got time for one more.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Phoenix, I feel like, would be crazy for some reason. I feel like Phoenix might go hard.

[Maul]

For a B. Phoenix has a really dope, like, a men's, like, spa.

[Rory]

Like, where you get.

[Maul]

Oh, yeah, like a men's, like. Well, no.

[Julian]

Okay. All right.

[Maul]

Not the steam room.

[Julian]

Okay. You think they don't have a steam room?

[Maul]

Like. Like a men's spa? It's like a. A health. Like a health wellness type of place. You stay there for a couple days. It's dope.

[Rory]

Oh, Sean told me he was at Ritz, I guess has like a SPA in the D.C. hotel. And before we linked to go to Broccoli City, he was telling me that our podcast kind of saved his butthole because there was men in the steam room trying to him in D.C. you're right. And he was like, yo, I knew the signs right away because. Because of the podcast.

[Julian]

That's right.

[Maul]

Here we are, Sean helping you protect your holes. Protect your holes, he said.

[Rory]

I got in the steam room, they started complimenting my feet. I knew what time it was.

[Julian]

I don't think crazy.

[Damaris]

I don't think you need to say.

[Rory]

You got a nice toe.

[Maul]

I got the out of them. Is aggressive. He was. Whoever that was was standing on big business for sure. I like your feet, fam. What? N. I'm out of here. I'm out of here. You like my feet in the steam room? I'm out.

[Rory]

Yeah. Let's get one more.

[Julian]

All right. Favorite questions to ask is what's your.

[Maul]

Opinion that most people would disagree with? So if you was in a room for like a hundred people and you said your opinion, you feel like most people would disagree with, but you standing.

[Julian]

On that opinion be like, music based, sports, life, whatever.

[Maul]

Ain't what big fan.

[Julian]

You're doing what y'all do.

[Maul]

[Maul]

Okay. Yeah, yeah, I can see you standing on that.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Maul]

Big business to this day.

[Julian]

My tour, we never went to the moon and Eminem is trash.

[Rory]

Those are two very regular, regular theories.

[Julian]

No, no. I get killed over every week. You want to hear you talk about music?

[Maul]

Stand on it. Shut up, baby D. I mean, I.

[Damaris]

Tend to be right about most things. I don't.

[Julian]

That's it right there. That's it there.

[Maul]

Stand on that. That's it. Big business to be right about everything. Stand on it.

[Rory]

Everything I say is fact.

[Maul]

That's a fact.

[Rory]

I'm trying. What opinion has pissed people off the most of mine that I'm trying to take. Sick of.

[Julian]

You don't believe in data.

[Rory]

I mean, data is full of.

[Damaris]

Data is.

[Rory]

Oh yeah. I mean, Quavo is way bigger than Chris Brown.

[Maul]

Yo. I forgot about that.

[Julian]

Oh, demarius, you're currently going through it. The Ariana take with the Monica and Brandy conversation. You're getting killed for that.

[Damaris]

Yeah, but that's cuz pe edits things to be controversial.

[Rory]

Patreon.com we did a whole draft for women vocalists and D Mile posted on his story today. If you don't know D Mile, he's probably the best R B producer period.

[Maul]

Right now for sure.

[Rory]

He posted Celine Dion and added me an aunt and said Adele could never do this run and she would use the N word to say that she can't do that.

[Julian]

Do what?

[Maul]

Another respectable R B guy.

[Rory]

D said it's on his story. It's not like I'm. I'm doing like some information.

[Maul]

That's not another respectable R B guy.

[Damaris]

Oh, my lord.

[Rory]

He said right here. He said at aunt Clemens, this is Rory. Ask Adele to do this run. This is because you love me, Celine Dion. And then on the next one, he said even Adele would say N word. Y'all tripping. And yes, she would use the N word.

[Julian]

Tried to.

[Damaris]

Told you got Adele and all types of she ain't asked to be in.

[Rory]

I think Adele could do that run though. But you know, what do I know.

[Julian]

What other opinions I'm trying to think.

[Damaris]

I say a bunch of that People disagree. I'm trying to figure out one that would be like really inflammatory.

[Maul]

Doesn't. Didn't adult Adele. No. Celine Dion is my heart will go on. Right?

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Julian]

Yes.
