God forgive me. God forgive me for smiling. God forgive me. But y'all know how I feel about that, man.
Julian
Let's talk about it.
Rory
That's hater.
Damaris
I know I'm a hater. No, no, no, I'll eat that. I'm a hater when it comes to him.
Rory
No, Noah Lyles is very annoying. I agree with you there. But he's, like, made.
Mal
Why is he annoying?
Damaris
You know, how the fuck he annoying? Get up.
Rory
No, that's pure hate. That's hate right there.
Julian
That was. Hey, you just ran.
Rory
I was about. I was about to answer your question, but never mind. It's.
Mal
Hey, why do y'all hate somebody that's confident in themselves? That's.
Damaris
That's not why we hate him. And you know, that's why you hate. Because sha'carri's confident. Everybody loves her.
Julian
Well, not everyone.
Rory
Well, that's not true.
Julian
But it's not true.
Damaris
Well, not everybody.
Rory
Confidence. All right, I'll put it this way. Even though I've been rooting for no allows, and I'm happy that he's continued on the sport and making it in the headlines after Usain Bolt and everyone left, his confidence comes off, like, forced. Like, that's not even you. You don't even need to be that cocky.
Mal
Yo, it's so crazy, man. I think as humans, we have this thing where we see somebody that's, like, confident, but then they actually go out and, like, win or conquer what they say they're gonna do. And we. It's just. It's just something in us to be like, shut the fuck up.
Rory
That's not what we're saying.
Damaris
That's not why. It has nothing to do with that. Simone Biles is super confident and knows that she's the goat. And nobody's cringing at her wearing a goat necklace because she's likable. It has nothing to do with him being cocky. He's unlikable.
Mal
But what's unlikable about him? You still haven't named anything. That's unlikeable.
Rory
You know, you.
Damaris
If you met. You know the no Allows. You know the no Lyles of the world. You. You know them all. You. You know them.
Mal
Yeah, but I'm not. I'm asking you. Why do you not like his confidence?
Damaris
It has nothing to do with his com. You keep bringing up his.
Mal
All right, so why is he not likable?
Damaris
You know, I know it's not.
Mal
I'm asking you.
Damaris
He's corny. He's.
Mal
There's a lot of corny people. That's. That's.
Damaris
And they're like. But there's. When you're a cocky, corny, not your confidence in your abilities. He deserves to have his confidence in his abilities. He's amazing. Like, and I'm happy that he's that amazing and that he's on the usa. It's not that it's the corniness, but the pushing, the corniness in your face.
Mal
Give me a female that's cocky and. And corny. Athlete.
Julian
I can't think of athlete in women's. I. I don't think it's.
Damaris
I can't think of athlete.
Julian
I don't know anybody that's corny.
Damaris
I can't think of corny.
Rory
I think the chick that we traded.
Julian
The Russians for, Brittany Griner, she's not.
Damaris
She's not cocky, though. Britney's mad cool and chill and lay back. It's like the extra. You're extra, but you're extra and corny. Like, extra people are annoying. Corny people are whatever. And then you mix the extra and the corny, and it's like, all right, bro. It has nothing to do with his confidence. I like confident people.
Julian
Well, we were saying earlier, before you. You came in was like, the. Like, his personality doesn't lend. Like, he's just by nature, like, we. When you think confident, you think cool, and it's tough to see someone that confident, but when their real personality that lies under. Beneath that is super corny, it's hard to root for, like, the corny confident, whereas, like, the cool confidence. More acceptable. At least that's how I look.
Mal
Who else is. Who else has corny confidence?
Julian
I mean, for years, people have been saying Drake's corny as.
Rory
I don't know. That's like, works in this, but it's different in sports.
Julian
But it's his Jason Tatum. People look at him kind of like a Noah Lyles.
Mal
But no, they. People only started looking at him after because of how he celebrated the championship. Before that, nobody was.
Julian
As soon as really, he started revealing who he was after Kobe passed, and he was like, I. Kobe's came to me in my sleep.
Rory
Yeah. They still text each other.
Julian
Yeah. Like, here's a screenshot of me texting Kobe before that at the Eastern.
Rory
Yeah.
Julian
Finals game. Like, he does like that.
Rory
Listen, track runners as a whole, as a former one, we're corny people. Like, Noah should just be himself. I think that's where it. We don't know him, but what comes across.
Damaris
I think he is. I don't Think he let him be himself?
Rory
You ask? I'm telling you the perception that people.
Mal
Have of him, but you don't know him to say let him be himself. What if that's himself?
Damaris
I think that's himself. I don't think he's pretending to be anybody. I think that's him.
Rory
No, I think he's actually probably a cool, corny guy. But look looked up in the book what cocky looks like and is trying to act that way. I don't even think that's him. That's where I think it comes across different. Like with Shakari, she has a cool confidence that, you know, that's exactly who she is. I think Noah was like, oh, I see Usain Bolt did this. So let me try to do my version of it. Like, not just be yourself.
Mal
Yo, y'all sound crazy.
Julian
I'm not. I mean, because then. Because you saw after he won the hundred, he. He went on the. The post race interviews and he was like, I, I want my own signature shoe. Like, I want these things. And then I started thinking, I was like, when you getting into merch and product, it's not about your performance. A lot of it's based on how people view you as person, your personality.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
So we've seen even, you know, we've mentioned the Beyonce and like her clothing line didn't do that great for Adidas. They dropped it. Like, it doesn't matter how big or popular you are. It's a lot of it goes into the person that's behind the product. So with Noah, personally, I don't think something like that would work for him. Whereas, like, for, you know, someone else, that's just. That gives that off more of a natural cool. It would work for.
Damaris
Yeah, I'm not hating on. No, I do.
Julian
I was an incredible.
Damaris
Yeah.
Julian
World class athlete. You can't, you know, you're not hating on him.
Mal
You just smile.
Damaris
I'm not hating. I'm.
Mal
You said forgive you for smiling because you smiled at his demise.
Damaris
At his demise. It's only because the demise you running. I don't. You're running out, doing all that extra jumping up and down, all that. And you're literally exerting energy and then you look like you run out of steam on your 200. Yeah. Because you was just running out here doing all that jumping and that line.
Rory
His intro was the reason why he had an awful last 50 meters.
Damaris
Yeah.
Julian
That's like when what's his name came out in that shape.
Mal
That has nothing to do with that shape in the World.
Julian
What's his name came out to box Tyson Fury. And he had the. The headpiece on. Remember that?
Mal
Oh, what's his name?
Julian
The big brother.
Mal
He just lost again.
Julian
Yeah, P. Do you know his name? Bronze Bomber. Yeah, but he. He came out in a. Like, a Game of Thrones. Deontay Wilder.
Mal
Yes.
Julian
He came out in, like, a headpiece and said, damn, it was too heavy on my head. Which is, like, really sick, twisted irony that the crown he was wearing was too heavy for him. And then he got his shit rocked.
Mal
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Rory
Right? Listen, Mayweather showed up in a sombrero.
Julian
This was it. This is what he wore going into a fight and then got smoked and then said, yeah, nah, that shit was kind of heavy.
Damaris
It's a video game I play. Oh, the Hogwarts Legacy. They have something on there that fucks you up that looks just like that.
Mal
You hit me last week asking if I have a PS5. You wanted me to get on some game and beat up. Oh, that was you. That was Damaris the whole time.
Rory
No, that was Peach playing simulator.
Damaris
You don't remember?
Mal
Damaris told us, like, yo, she gonna start gaming. Yeah, I thought that was Damaris.
Damaris
I was like, yo, why I wasn't playing Cop simulator?
Mal
But now you see why my brain was like, parking.
Rory
Peach was giving illegal aliens parking tickets in the police simulator.
Mal
Peach, what's up with you? You going through something at home, man? What's going on, man?
Rory
I did YouTube the police simulator after Peach put it in the group chat. And it does look like an interesting game.
Damaris
Of course it does. White man like that.
Mal
Y'all are crazy. And the fact that they have a game like this is crazy.
Julian
Police Police Simulator.
Rory
You gotta work your way up from meter maid to detective, patrol officer.
Julian
He's got a clipboard. Do you get to choose which cop you want? Can you be, like, a girl? A black man? Like, can you pick? Yeah.
Damaris
So what are you.
Rory
Straight white male boy?
Mal
That's a proud boy right there.
Rory
Peach tried to ID a baddie. That's what he said in the chat. I just lost points because I did a false id, but she was bad. And that's how I think real cops think.
Mal
100%. Absolutely.
Julian
What city does this. Is this supposed to take place in? Is it, like, randoms? Okay, I was wondering if it was, like, Grand Theft Auto and it was modeled after Miami. Miami or something. This is a real game.
Mal
Well, congrats to who won. Who won the 400, 200?
Damaris
No, that was the 200 babe.
Mal
Tobogo.
Julian
Oh, you said the 400 or the 200?
Mal
The 200. I'm sorry, Tobogo. Well, congrats to win.
Julian
From Botswana.
Mal
From Botswana.
Rory
What was the final time?
Julian
1946.
Rory
Crazy.
Julian
And Ben Eric, running 1962 Lyles, came in third with bronze in 1970.
Rory
Yeah, he's better than.
Mal
I can't watch. I can't wait to watch the. The final episodes of Sprint on Netflix.
Damaris
Oh, yeah.
Rory
Same.
Damaris
Oh, yeah.
Mal
Looking forward to that.
Damaris
Can't wait.
Rory
I mean, you don't think. No. Kind of like rubbed people the wrong way when he was trying to on World Champions.
Damaris
Yeah, well, that's when people first realized he was corny.
Julian
As when people found out who he was.
Rory
Not corny. It was just a awful take, in my opinion.
Mal
I understood what he was saying. It's like, that's just the usa. That's. You can't say world and it just can't be the country.
Damaris
The United States.
Mal
I understood what he was saying. It's like, bro, that's just the U.S. the world is much bigger than the United States. So why the league that's in America? Why call it a world championship?
Rory
Because we're American.
Julian
It's called branding.
Mal
I get it.
Julian
Don't fault. Don't fault the US for building a. A great and like, healthy, successful league. Fault the world for not getting up to par.
Damaris
Hey, talk your usa.
Rory
Look at what we spend in. In defense right now. Like, we're just the greatest.
Damaris
Are we even winning with the students? Yeah, let me check.
Mal
Yeah, I'm about to say, Julie, you.
Damaris
Talking our ass for a little sec.
Mal
Talking all this in the usa. We're not getting smoked by Serbia.
Rory
We're not getting smoked by Serbia.
Julian
Listen, man, are you talking about basketball today? I'm just saying the funny thing with ball is like, it's like baseball. Like, when you have back to backs, it's hard to beat a team more than twice. Yeah, we're playing them for the third time.
Rory
So this is different than the Yankees and the Orioles. We should beat Serbia three times.
Julian
I know, bro. They got that two time, three time mvp.
Mal
All I'm saying is we have seven.
Rory
Players that have been MVP before.
Julian
Kevin Durant.
Mal
No, I get it.
Rory
But you know, our entire starting five has been an mvp.
Mal
That ball don't. That ball don't go through the hoops some nights, man. That's all I'm saying.
Julian
They played. They. They were lights out last game. I feel pretty good about this game.
Mal
I do too. I mean, they should.
Julian
They should Win smackdown.
Mal
If they don't win, go. They need to stay their ass in Paris. Don't come back. Stay over there. Think about it.
Rory
They would do it anyways.
Mal
Yeah, that's where the hose at. Sit there and think about it.
Damaris
That's what a hoe's at for.
Rory
How's everyone affording to go to Paris?
Julian
Oh, speaking.
Rory
Just blows my mind.
Damaris
People make money, Rory.
Julian
Speaking of goats.
Mal
Not.
Rory
Not the girls.
Julian
I follow goats in south of France. Michael Jordan's son is just openly doing coke in the South.
Rory
Man, bump, man, bump, man, bump, man.
Mal
Listen, I mean, if you in the south of France.
Julian
That's what I'm saying.
Damaris
Them hoes up, you know what I mean?
Mal
Like dog. That's.
Rory
That's that dated Larsa Pippen. I think he's above cocaine.
Mal
I don't think. Is that the son that dated Larson?
Rory
He's affiliated Marcus.
Damaris
Is that Marcus?
Julian
Yes. Marcus.
Damaris
Yes, that's the one that dated.
Julian
Look at him. Look how happy he is after is. And then he's at.
Rory
You guys don't think he was on coke.
Mal
Listen, man, what are you supposed to.
Damaris
Do if you're Michael Jordan's son? Coke?
Mal
What? No, that's just crazy to say that.
Rory
No, I just love that. There's fresh watermelon right there. So many options that you.
Damaris
Listen, you could have went with coke and fresh watermelon. Sound crazy together.
Mal
That's a balanced breakfast right there. He probably had a long night, you know, he needed a little pick me up, you know what I'm saying? That's just. That's just pre workout. He's snorting.
Rory
This is similar to me creatine.
Julian
Yeah, it's Jordan.
Mal
That's Jordan brand pre workout right there.
Julian
That's Michael's secret stuff.
Rory
Yeah, it's the roll out. Yeah, that's funny.
Damaris
How's it going?
Mal
That's the secret stuff right there.
Rory
Bugs Bunny was shaking up.
Mal
That's all.
Rory
I mean, this is similar to my coffee journey that I've started. I. I see no difference.
Mal
Well, there's a difference between sniffing coke.
Julian
Roy's three days into coffee.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Like, how do people not start their day with coffee? I don't even understand it.
Mal
Are you drinking? You should try the mushroom coffee.
Julian
Oh, wow.
Rory
Let me.
Damaris
That might be easy.
Mal
Oh, it's good. It gives you. It's good for your focus, your energy.
Rory
I was at the barbershop on Wednesday. Yesterday I let them know that I had my first cup of coffee on Tuesday evening. And I was like, oh, I think I could maybe do this. They gave me the craziest tutorial of coffee where they were giving me suggestions of taking, like three espresso shots into one cup.
Julian
No, everyone too much.
Rory
And you guys like your barber Spanish.
Mal
So that's why you need. That's why you need. Because the kick that espresso gives you, that's why you need the shroom coffee, because it's the natural. Brings you back energy. Yeah. It gives you that natural kick.
Rory
But I feel kind of cool. Like after 34 years, like it's cool to walk around the New York streets with my coffee cup.
Mal
I just drink a cup of coffee. I'm letting you know now we have 57 minutes before I have to take a. So I was about to say, Rory.
Damaris
Have you been shitting your brains out?
Rory
No. Do the oat milk.
Damaris
Oh, not only been two days, but the coffee itself. Not the milk. The coffee itself. Usually.
Rory
No, but I got stomach issues already, so. So you can't tell if it's the coffee or if it's 56 minutes.
Julian
Rip through that stomach lining.
Mal
Yeah. Well, it's been a wild week. A lot of going on.
Rory
I finally got off to my girl in the morning. Don't speak to me until I've had my coffee. I'm so happy. Like, I feel like a cigarette smoker. Like, I can talk to.
Mal
I've had my coffee.
Rory
Yeah. Leave me alone. I need to go do coffee.
Julian
Nothing hits like a morning coffee.
Rory
No one's coffee.
Julian
I will say. I mean, I've been kind of leaning off coffee going into more of the matcha game. But the match.
Mal
What is this?
Rory
What's the game like? What is this?
Mal
What is this?
Julian
Did.
Mal
Yeah. Listed.
Julian
I. I just make matcha at home. Ice. Ice matcha with oat milk. It's delicious.
Mal
I bought these. These the pods, like for coffee makers. And the coffee. The coffee maker that I have, I bought the wrong pods. So they don't fit the coffee maker that I have. But the coffee making, the lobby of my building, it fits the pods. So I have to, like, go down in the lobby in the morning because I'm not throwing those pods away. I'm not doing that.
Rory
No.
Julian
Shits are expensive.
Mal
Yeah. So I go down in the lobby in the morning and make my cup and then go back up the stairs. I'm not throwing it out. Huh.
Julian
I didn't know you drink coffee.
Mal
Yeah, mushroom coffee. Yeah.
Julian
Oh, like that kind of mushroom coffee. I thought you were talking like shroom coffee.
Rory
Does anyone use mushroom coffee coffee maker in the lobby as coffee I've seen.
Mal
People use it before.
Rory
Usually people that work building you live in. Like, those people can afford a coffee maker.
Mal
Yeah, but you know, I think. I think that's for like, people that are coming to visit to look at you.
Rory
Okay, got you.
Mal
Yeah, I. I usually just see the staff in the lobby. Like, I don't. I'm definitely the only one that probably lives there that's using that, but only until the next 37 pods are done. And then. Yeah, and then I'm like, they'll never.
Rory
Kick it with maintenance. You're a man of the people.
Mal
Yeah, absolutely. I love the maintenance people in my building. Absolutely. I with them. They cool.
Damaris
They'll probably sneak one bitch out when you have another one coming in for you.
Mal
Now, I don't live like that in the service elevator. I don't live like that. Nah, them days is old, baby. I don't have the. I don't have a bandwidth.
Julian
When you were, when you were say in those days and you had a doorman, did. Were they privy to your.
Mal
Oh, yeah.
Julian
And you. Did you pay that, like, would you tell them, like, shut up.
Mal
Yeah, yeah, yeah, cool. Not shut up, but like, just give them a wink and handshake with the bill folded in there like, you know what it is, I'm not home. Act like you called upstairs but no one answered. You know, that type of thing. Yeah.
Rory
I had the first luxury building I lived in. There was a pool, and I was very cool with my doorman. I did not know that there was a sensor. Like, after dark, if you jump in the pool, like, security is immediately shows up.
Damaris
Were you skinny dipping?
Julian
Try to go in with your T shirt.
Rory
Me and his girl jumped in that pool butt ass naked. He came, was like, yo, get the fuck out. I turned the alarm off. Get out now. Gave him the greatest Christmas present. Months later, yo, he looked out like you would. Now he's like, yo, usually like, we got to call the police. This is a whole things. I turn it off, you get the fuck out. And I was like, I'm. I'm ass naked right now.
Mal
But what time did the pool close?
Rory
At like, dark or whatever. But this was like 2am okay. It was her idea, naturally.
Julian
Oh, yeah.
Mal
Well, I was gonna say no idea naturally.
Damaris
Yeah, I was freaky.
Mal
You got to let the woman, you know, decide that we're going skinny dipping tonight.
Julian
I know there's no like, official code or agreement that they have to sign, but I would imagine if there was a book, anonymous book of. Of storm stories. Doormen have Taken over the years about celebrities and, you know, higher up business people.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
It has to be the. The craziest tales, like, yeah.
Mal
That you know, that it's worth. That's why you have to be cool with the doorman and the people that work in your building. Like, you got to get on, you know, some type of personal level with them and just kick it with them.
Rory
I talked about the Billy McFarlane Vlad interview. In that interview, when the FBI showed up to his building, his doorman called him and was like, yo, I gave them the wrong floor. There's a back door. Get the out. And the FBI went to a different floor for Billy's to arrest him.
Mal
Fire.
Rory
Did I get in trouble? Huh?
Julian
Did he get in trouble?
Rory
No, you can't really didn't say. But.
Mal
Yeah, no, he can't prove that. He. He probably like. Oh, I mean, prove.
Julian
How does he know that information?
Damaris
Well, they're not going to come arrest. That's not a big deal. They're not going to come arrest the door.
Mal
Come arrest the door because he gave them the wrong.
Rory
You're calling Billy a snitch is what you're saying?
Julian
Yeah, yeah, he's on Vlad.
Rory
So it's okay. It's where you talk about crimes.
Mal
Get your off on Vlad.
Rory
But I thought that was crazy. Like, the FBI come in and that's how cool you are with your doorman.
Mal
That's.
Rory
Give him the wrong floor and then he calls you, man, you got a back door open. Go through the staircase and get the fuck out of here.
Julian
You got to be the man.
Mal
Got to be cool with your doorman and the people that work in your building. I say it all the time. Like, you can't just walk past them like they're peasants and they just work here. No, you need to be on a first name basis. What? They run the building like they can. They operate the building that you live.
Rory
In and yeah, they could. Deep, dark secrets. If you're in a relationship.
Mal
100% horse. 100%. Just because, you know, just not. Not. I don't like that name.
Damaris
Okay, well, what would you call it?
Mal
Something else.
Rory
Sexually liberated.
Mal
We're environmentalists.
Rory
If we remember, right before Philly, I took a gummy to do an episode and was lost in translation.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
So I decided I had missed my window. I was like, let me take a gummy to go to sleep.
Mal
Oh, okay.
Rory
I am not exaggerating at all. Thank God Kia and Amara were sleeping in the other room. I got up and started fighting a shadow figure.
Julian
Oh, that gummy kicking your ass.
Rory
I would. I had no alcohol in my system, no nothing. I took that gummy and woke up and started giving combinations. I think I even kicked at one.
Julian
Point, like Nikki's boyfriend.
Damaris
Were you, like, playing around, like, you know how boys do the little shadow boxing thing?
Mal
No.
Rory
I was scared for my life. I thought I was really fighting something.
Julian
Was it a paralysis demon?
Rory
No, because when it's paralysis, you can't move.
Damaris
You can't.
Rory
I had it. I was hitting every combo. I was actually proud of myself in retrospect, of how I beat the. Out of somebody that wasn't there. But, oh, no, how I shifted my weight on a lot of those punches. I felt good.
Julian
Ring cam in there. I want to see this.
Rory
I. I don't. I could go back because Amari's crib is in there. There might be footage of this. I legitimately started fighting the air.
Mal
So you was having, like you was hallucinating?
Rory
Yes. And it took me maybe 20 seconds to realize what was going on. 20 seconds. A long time.
Julian
It's a long fight.
Rory
And then I was standing there like, wait, did I just dream that? Oh, wait, I'm standing up and I'm awake. What the just happened?
Damaris
You didn't feel like, after five seconds, you didn't, like, feel anybody hit you back? Like, you.
Rory
You thought I was in the mix at that point?
Mal
Like, he was fighting for your life? Yeah, yeah.
Rory
Adrenaline figure. And I have awful sleep paralysis, so. I know the difference. I was agile, moving, like, sticking and moving.
Mal
Yeah, that. I don't know that you fight it and you had, like, anxiety kick.
Rory
No, I was. I could see if, like, maybe I drank hard alcohol or. Yeah, like, hadn't eaten. I was completely sober. Just took a gummy.
Mal
That's wild.
Rory
And then I told Kia about it, and she, you know, because she could verify I had a very sober day. I wish. I wish this was a bit or a joke. I'm. I seriously didn't get the fighting. The air. You should trust dead sober.
Mal
Try smoking.
Rory
Nah.
Julian
You think that's gonna help, Maul?
Mal
Because it's different when you take an edible versus my fixes.
Julian
Don't do either of them well.
Mal
That's your fix. I mean, just go to bed. Edibles kind of sometimes will hit you harder than. Actually.
Rory
It was so traumatizing that after 34 years of not drinking coffee, I said that. Morning. Can I get a cup of coffee?
Mal
Yeah, you needed it. He was up all night fighting.
Rory
I was about to cry.
Mal
Speaking of fighting demons, no one has advice for me.
Rory
Thanks.
Mal
Nah, it just fight. Keep fighting through the demons. Speaking of fighting demons, Drake fought all you demons once again.
Rory
All right, man.
Mal
He. He released. What is it, 100 gigs.
Rory
100 gigs?
Mal
Yes. So he did this in a very, very unique way.
Rory
100Gigs.Org or something. He had. He had his finster that he started in June.
Mal
Yep.
Rory
Which, you know, conspiracy theorists. It's a six month.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
And he started it on June 26th. Six, six.
Julian
Six.
Rory
Six.
Mal
He's a six card, right? Is that what he called himself? The six car? What do you expect? So he released this. He put out a file. 100 gigs. It had videos, it had music. What? El Rory behind the scenes clips and stuff, right? Yeah, well, that's. That's videos. Yeah, clips of him breaking down songs and verses and, you know, in the studio having. He let us into some of the intimate conversations in his world, in his comfort, in his circle, close friends, family. He had a video breaking down one record with. To his mom that he had with Rihanna. Was it. Was it Too Good? Was the name of the record Too Good?
Rory
Yes, Too Good, which LeBron named Too Good.
Julian
It's Too Good.
Rory
And yeah, blowing hookah smoke in your mother's face is crazy. But I did enjoy the clip.
Mal
Yeah, no, it's always fun to see artists break down.
Julian
You want to explain also, you want to explain the clip?
Rory
So he's sitting in studio playing what became Too Good before Rihanna got on it. And he's talking with his mom and he's explaining that it is about Serena Williams. And the funniest part about this is that Drake's mom goes, I gathered that.
Mal
That it was about.
Rory
Imagine listening to a song be like, that's about Serena Williams. My mom would never catch that.
Mal
I mean, maybe. Maybe she knows their relationship and she knows some things that happened. And probably, you know, it's like, that has to be about Serena.
Rory
What's funny about that record? And I do want to get into the hundred gigs. I did look up the lyrics after.
Damaris
Oh, let's pull them up. Let's pull them up, babe.
Rory
Of Too Good and I've been on record on the. On the pod and years and years ago that this is one of the most narcissistic songs ever. Love this song. This is a classic to me. I vogue in my house to this. Too Good is Too good.
Mal
Too good.
Rory
Copyright LeBron James. He legitimately goes through the whole verse blaming her for how shitty he is, and then starts the hook with I'm too good for you.
Damaris
I'm Too.
Rory
I don't know how to talk to you. I don't know how to ask if you're okay. My friends always feel the need to tell me these things. Seems like they're just happier these days. Yes, these days. I don't know how to talk to you. I don't know how to be there when you need me. It feels like the only time you see me is when you turn your.
Julian
Head to the side and look at me.
Damaris
Well, that's because you interpreted it wrong. It's not about him not being a good partner. It's him being too nervous. And actually, now this song being about Seren Williams makes sense. Him, like, being timid when it comes to her and being like, I don't know how to do these things. Like, I don't know, like I'm scared, like you don't pay me attention, that kind of thing.
Rory
Instead of having that conversation, you land on, I'm just way too good to you.
Damaris
You take my love to Grant. You take my love for granted. I don't understand.
Rory
Amazing writing. No, Drake's pen is crazy on this, but that is probably. If a therapist would break down how you get from that first verse to the fucking hook. This is the most narcissistic fucking thing ever. Instead of having conversation with your partner, you just going, I'm too good for this.
Mal
Yeah, you never felt like that.
Rory
Yeah, but I'm too good. But I need therapy.
Damaris
I'm not. But sure.
Mal
Yo, I ain't gonna hold you. I gotta take a.
Julian
Can we keep that? Yeah.
Rory
He's.
Damaris
He's going to take the wipes out his bag, y'all. So my confession is. Remember when I ran into the door when we were recording?
Rory
Yeah.
Damaris
I was about to shit on myself.
Julian
Oh, that's why.
Mal
Yo, what is.
Julian
Goody holes in the studio.
Mal
Wait, wait, what?
Damaris
When she ran, remember I lied and told you I had to throw up? I did have to throw up, but I almost shit it on myself. That's why I ran to the bathroom.
Mal
So you ran to the bathroom because you had to throw up and shit. Are you pregnant?
Damaris
No. I told you, 90 days. No.
Rory
What. What's. Comes precedent. You have to throw up and shit at the same time. What are you committing to?
Julian
Which hole would you honor?
Damaris
Well, being that I was in the office.
Mal
I'm not shitting on myself.
Damaris
I'm not.
Mal
I just got up.
Rory
I'm sitting on that toilet. I'll project vomit on the wall, you.
Julian
Shit, and then grab the trash can for the.
Damaris
And throw up.
Julian
Throw up.
Damaris
Yeah, no, I was. It was bad. I was about to shit up my back like a baby. And, like, I was over here sitting here, and I was, like, trying to, like, hold it, but I was like, I have to run to the bathroom now.
Mal
That's why I reached the door. My, my, my, my Typical morning shit today. So that's why I had this. Now, usually I empty the tank before I come to the office.
Rory
While we're on bathroom talk, before we get back to the hundred gigs, did anyone notice that one of the honey packs is missing?
Damaris
You told me it was. I think you took it and then told me, oh, look, guys, it's missing.
Rory
I would just go buy a honey pack.
Julian
No, that's why they're here.
Mal
You're like, I ain't gotta.
Rory
Yeah, I don't need to lie about. I've taken honey packs.
Mal
Somebody maybe move them out of the bathroom just because it looked awkward in there or something.
Rory
No, there's a honey pack in the first bathroom, but one's missing.
Mal
Peace out of the other bathroom.
Julian
When did you notice it was missing?
Rory
Like, last week.
Julian
Okay. I was gonna say, we've had a couple guests come in. I wonder if they snagged it.
Damaris
Vinnie definitely took the honey pack.
Mal
Vinnie taking the honey pack is crazy.
Julian
For a ride date.
Rory
I feel like Vinnie has the honey pack. Like, you know where people put, like, fruit on their island? Kitchen packs right there.
Damaris
No, he seems like a good guy now. Like, he's not hoeing, like.
Mal
Yeah, he said you could tell Vinny is. He's hold out. He feels like an empty shell of himself. He doesn't. He doesn't smile much. Now he's doing comedy just so he can be depressed in public. You know what I mean?
Rory
I liked Vinnie. I mean, you know, we just got. Vinny was great one day, but.
Mal
But I could. I could look. I could see it in his eyes. At 35, 36, and you've had, like, a wild, like, 20s where you were just, like, smashing everything. You get to 36 and you're like, what was all that for?
Rory
So we. We did Vinnie's pod after he came on myself and I told him about Kia's friend that was here that he had given a lap dance in Atlantic City for.
Mal
What?
Rory
I left out because I felt bad because he looked sad at the time. She was like, he looks, like, really sad and depressed now. I was like, maybe he has resting face. I don't know. But all they were talking about was when he walked out, how sad he looked.
Mal
He slutted out. Now, women have taken, you know, much of his life force, which is his. His semen, you know what I mean? And they've drained him of that.
Rory
He's way too good to them.
Mal
Exactly.
Julian
Did you guys see. I know we had the break, so I had an opportunity to go on my phone. Noah Lyles was carted off the track in a wheelchair after the race. And they said he has tested positive for Covid. So he's having his Paul Pierce moment.
Rory
There's no way that happened.
Mal
Yep. They said he was deposit for Covid.
Julian
I'm dead serious.
Mal
That's. Who said that? Don't just tell me somebody on the Internet said that.
Damaris
Like, you made that up. Why don't you go to a news outlet? Why are you.
Rory
There's no way that happened. Look, imagine.
Julian
Look, look. Just announced no allows ran the Olympic 200 final with COVID finishing third. Whatever, whatever. But they wheeled him out on a. On a wheelchair.
Rory
I've had covet three times. Never once did I feel like.
Julian
Yeah, but you also didn't.
Damaris
Oh, now my covet. I couldn't. I couldn't walk a flight of steps.
Julian
Without running Olympic 200 meter final.
Rory
I've ran a lot of two hundreds in my life.
Julian
Look at this.
Rory
No one was sticking anything up my nose at that finish line.
Julian
They wheeled them out.
Rory
There's no way he did a rapid test at that finish line. No way.
Mal
The test was faster than him today.
Damaris
See, that's hate.
Mal
How does. Hey, I just said there was. The test was faster than him. He got tested faster than he ran.
Julian
He got the Paul Pierce treatment.
Mal
He tested and, and confirmed positive within three minutes of a Olympic 200 meter race. Is like, come on, man. What are we talking about?
Rory
It didn't happen.
Mal
Yeah, like, cut the shit.
Rory
There's no way they weren't letting Shellyanne through the back door that she used. But are also putting Q tips up people's nose at the finish line. Those two things don't add up.
Damaris
Maybe he. Maybe his.
Rory
Okay, not that efficient.
Damaris
I'm trying to make sense. So when he was laying on the ground, maybe he felt. He probably felt like, oh, I feel like my heart's gonna explode. Or I feel like something. And they probably went and did tests on him in the back and that's what came of it.
Mal
But why would they test you for Covid?
Damaris
They probably. Well, they probably have all. I'm sure they have Covid tests laying around the Olympics.
Mal
Like, why would they test. You think.
Julian
You think the COVID test was on the Back end of his bib. Like where he keeps the Yu Gi. Oh cards. He took that off and then just dug it up his nose.
Rory
First of all, he's un American because now he can't run in the four by one. Oh, yeah, you should have denied that COVID test, bro. You fucking over the whole country right now.
Mal
Nobody's answering the question. Why was he tested for Covid?
Julian
Because he finished. He probably said he couldn't breathe because he got bronze. So something was wrong.
Mal
You must have Covid. Come here. No.
Rory
And you wonder why we don't like him.
Mal
What the fuck is that?
Rory
Like, how do you take your bronze medal in stride? Don't try to find an excuse.
Mal
Oh, my God. He looked like he was. He definitely, like, might have hurt something, though. Like, he was. He wasn't running with his. His normal form. Like, it looked like he might have pulled something.
Rory
Yeah, a hamstring would make sense.
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
Yeah.
Rory
You could just go with that.
Mal
You know, you don't get tested for Covid if you say, yo, I think I pulled my hamstring. They don't be like, hey, tilt your head back.
Rory
Said it's a symptom.
Mal
What do you mean, tilt my head back? My hamstring is down here. Like, the. Am I tilting my head back for swabbing me for Covid, and I just won bronze. That's not weird to nobody but me. It, man. It is what it is, man. Listen, 100 gigs.
Rory
Can we go back to Too good?
Damaris
I love 100 gigs.
Mal
We want to go back to Too Good, okay?
Rory
That's where we were before your butt started leaking. Yeah, Julian, can we. Can we get.
Julian
Sorry. She just broke. Sydney just broke a world record in the 400 meter hurdles. That's. She's a fucking legend. I love her.
Rory
Love her.
Mal
Shout out to Sydney.
Julian
50, 37.
Rory
Hardest race, period.
Julian
Jesus Christ. She is special. Okay, back to Too Good, by the way.
Rory
Stupid race. Who would decide after running a 400. Let's. Let's throw some jumps into this.
Julian
What a dangerous race.
Rory
It's so dumbest race on earth. I respect anyone that runs the 400 meter hurdles.
Damaris
I used to run the 400.
Rory
Stupidest race.
Damaris
Stupid. Not the 400 meter hurdles, but the 400. And I literally, every time I hear. I just hear, the 400 is a sprint, Damaris. It is not distance. It's a sprint. Sprinting. I was like, yo, I feel like I'm about to pass out.
Rory
It's a fact. It's a sprint.
Mal
Yeah, sprint out. Now run out or get Out.
Damaris
Mo, you ever thought about running track?
Mal
Yeah, when I had to take a. Just now, I ran to the bathroom.
Julian
Did get out the blocks quick.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
You saw that he jumped off that chair.
Mal
Oh, yeah. I heard the gun. Y'all ain't hit a gun. I heard it.
Julian
That was the slate.
Mal
No, I heard the gun in my stomach. I was like, nah, I gotta go take a. I gotta get up from here. I'm not gonna sit here. I don't care about Drake, none of these. I'm going to take a. That's a fact.
Rory
It was interesting because it sounded like you were jamming in the bathroom.
Mal
Oh, yeah. I throw on some tunes and all of that. Yeah.
Rory
I didn't want to, like, pre judge you, but you kind of struck me as someone that has, like, a quick and then you. You're in and out. We don't even know if you took a. I'm a quick. You sat there for, like 30 minutes and listened to music.
Mal
Well, I had to make sure everything was gone.
Julian
You ran the water, too.
Mal
I run the water so that y'all.
Damaris
Don'T hear the pooplets hit in the.
Mal
No, I do that at home. Even at home, I do that.
Rory
Wait, you run the water by yourself so no one can hear the.
Mal
No, it's not. To not hit a water, like, hear running water, like, relaxes me. Okay.
Damaris
I had somebody who used to do that.
Mal
Yeah, I'm a squatty potty guy. I have a thing put your legs up on so you can see your posture could be correct when you're sitting on the toe.
Rory
I grew up around West Indians. They said, just rub your knees.
Mal
Well, rub your knees.
Damaris
Yeah, yeah, I do that when I eat Mexican food.
Mal
Yeah, you can't poop.
Rory
Just do this.
Mal
Yeah, just rub your knees. Relax yourself.
Rory
That's what Jamaicans and just relax.
Mal
Relax yourself.
Rory
I'm just too good to you.
Julian
Back to.
Rory
You don't understand.
Julian
We asked the real question, is this foul of him to do this to get one of his exes to get on a hook for a song about a girl that he was just recently with? Like, where do you guys fall on that line? I understand art imitates life and all that shit. Where do you guys fall on this?
Mal
I don't.
Rory
Rihanna sounded amazing on it.
Mal
Yes.
Julian
Obviously the song is great, but I.
Damaris
Said, I think it's swag to have one of your joints singing about another one of your joints. That's what I said. I think that's swag.
Mal
That's some I would do if I Could make music.
Damaris
You sing. Just saying.
Mal
I don't make music, though.
Rory
This isn't gonna sound like. You ever hear certain songs and, like, wish you wrote it? This might be the sickest four bars that I wish I wrote. Years go by too fast. I can't keep track. How long did we last? I feel bad for asking. It can't.
Julian
Can't end like this.
Rory
We gotta take time with this. Three bars. Earlier, he had no idea what time was.
Mal
Yeah. And now that. Now that I thought about someone, I.
Rory
Have no idea where time went. Let's take time now.
Mal
Yeah. That's how it goes.
Rory
Genius writing.
Mal
Like, yo, time moves so fast. But now we need to, like, really slow down and, like, appreciate this thing that we have.
Rory
I feel bad for asking. It can't end like this.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
We don't understand with this.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
And then after that, just said, yo, let me you to make it better.
Mal
That sounds like a great make. Great way to make up.
Julian
It's tight.
Mal
Let's have that passion.
Rory
Sip on this. Let me see if this is something I could fix. Look at the whole song prior to. Of trying to get through to this girl.
Mal
But you don't understand.
Rory
It ends with, y'all could just. And, like, maybe that's the way.
Mal
Sit down on it. Yeah, Sit down. Pony cock up your bumper and sit down on it. Yeah. You know. You don't agree with that.
Rory
No, I agree with every word I said.
Mal
I wish. As long as we're on the same page here.
Rory
Yeah. Don't play victim when you're with me.
Mal
Yeah. Don't do that.
Julian
Did you see Drake also posted some rehearsal footage of him and Rihanna singing Take Care together?
Rory
Yeah, I thought that was cool.
Julian
He also did a video posting of himself doing a weekend impression. I'm trying to think of what other footage was.
Damaris
No. If we beefing, don't post old videos of me.
Julian
Oh, you're saying Drake shouldn't have posted static?
Damaris
You beefing with me and my baby daddy? Don't post old shit of me. Pretend you don't know me.
Julian
Interesting.
Mal
But how do we feel about Drake doing this, though? Because this is something that he's never done before, coming off of, you know, the battle and everything.
Rory
Can you play the other side for this conversation? Because I thought this was an incredibly smart move. I thought this was amazing. If I'm in a battle and somehow the narrative has shifted to, I'm not part of the culture, people haven't really liked me like that to begin with. You drop. But the hundred gigs of footage to remind us how much of a staple you've been in our lives. I, as someone that believes Kendrick clearly won. And I thought, Drake has been making weird moves, Weird reaction, reactive moves. This is the best. Reactive mood. He reminded me how much I fucking love his career. It worked.
Mal
Yeah, but when?
Rory
I'm not a huge fan of the three songs he did. But I get with the rollout. But the entire timeline that used to be calling him a pedophile shifted in one night. Of all the amazing moments of the last 15 years of why we Love Drake.
Mal
But see, I'm on the other side of that. I don't think that the narrative ever, ever shifted. I think that people had a weird moment. People were supporting a weird record. I've said this from day one. I'm like, yo, bro, I just don't. That message. I cannot dance and groove to that message of that record. Just. It's weird. We should not be dancing and saying those words in harmony and unison as if this is something to laugh and dance about.
Rory
Separate point. It happened.
Mal
It's not a separate point. The point is the narrative changing and seeming like he lost and he wasn't a part of the. All of that was bullshit. It was just some shit that people made up, tried to make a real thing, tried to throw into the game.
Rory
It worked.
Mal
It did not work. No, it didn't. What did it work for?
Damaris
Okay, this is not the separate conversation. That's a separate conversation.
Mal
Okay, what happened as a result?
Rory
Never mind. I'm going to take the other side with the Drake dropping 100 gigs if it didn't work. Drake is not doing this unless it works. He has to now do this. You just did a great job at it.
Mal
No, no, no, no. You just. You just said it. You just said it. He had to remind y'all because y'all are caught up in this moment. In this moment. It didn't change. Nothing changed as a result of it. Nothing's changed.
Rory
So it worked.
Mal
No, it did.
Rory
Listen, why did Drake, who has dominated the last 15 years of my life, have to remind us? Because that record worked.
Mal
No, I'm telling you, it's because people were caught up in a moment. They were caught in a moment.
Rory
He. Kendrick smoked it.
Mal
Yes, but when you say he lost, what did he lose? He didn't lose anything.
Rory
I'm. We're talking music wise. I don't. I'm. He has his.
Mal
Music wise, what did he.
Rory
Music.
Mal
Music wise, what did he lose?
Rory
The battle. The battle. Cool.
Mal
How did. Okay, that's subjective. If you feel like he lost the battle?
Rory
Okay, I'm gonna ask you this question then, because I was really here to praise Drake on this entire thing. I thought it was a brilliant move.
Mal
It was.
Rory
Does Drake drop a hundred gigs from so far gone to. For all the Dogs with all the footage he's had on his phone forever, if this Kendrick and Drake battle never happened?
Mal
No, he wouldn't have a reason to.
Rory
Okay, so it worked.
Mal
No, it's not that it worked.
Rory
He's reacting. He had to remind us, which sucks. But, yeah, he had to remind us.
Mal
Because that record worked again. A moment. People were caught in a moment.
Rory
Moment worked.
Mal
I mean, listen, if you feel like it did, then great. I'm just happy we got what we got out of it.
Rory
Same. I loved all this footage.
Mal
Cause my whole thing on this whole shit is I don't give a fuck about if people feel like he won or lost. Great. Y'all can argue that. I'm not here to argue that. But the thing is, we still have to keep in mind who he is, what he's meant, what he's given.
Rory
That's what the hundred gigs was for, to remind us.
Mal
And I'm cool with it. Because at the end of the day, what is this about? This is about music. It's about entertainment. It's about us coming together, listening to shit that we either love or hate, having our views on it, whatever. But the bigger picture for me is how could, for any moment, whatever happens, how could anybody, even for a second, try to forget everything that he's done and everything that he's given and all of the great songs and things like that? Like, how is that even possible for people to even be so caught up in the thing where for a second the narrative seemed like it changed? Or how.
Rory
How does that happen to a separate conversation that that happens with hov? Like, I've argued with Julian about Eminem, even though I don't like Eminem. It's crazy how his history has just been erased of who he was before. It happens with great artists. We forget what they contributed.
Mal
No, but that's different.
Rory
Like, people look at HOV like he's cool. Like, do you know what he's done in his career?
Mal
It's totally different when you're talking about an artist like Drake. Drake has given more hit records than any of these guys that you're talking about. He's not.
Rory
He's given more hit records than probably any artist ever.
Mal
So that's why this conversation is different. You can't say it's like when Eminem. When people do. No, it's not the same.
Rory
It's the same scenario. It's just heightened even more because it's Drake. But people have forgotten what Hov did. People have forgotten what M did. People. You forgot what Prince did. People talk crazy about artists that have been dominating for 30 years.
Mal
Well, that's a very.
Rory
Because we're prisoners of the moment, like you said. But to me, in this scenario, he's not doing this unless the Kendrick shit didn't work. He doesn't need to remind us. And it's cool. I like I had said that. I hate Drake's reactionary shit. He's great when he's the aggressor. He sucks when he's on defense. This was the first move I've seen him make on defense that I thought was brilliant. Great move. Please remind us how you have been a staple in our lives. There was certain clips of that when he was playing stuff off views. Stuff he was playing off. Thank me later. That took me back to a moment in my entire life. Like, damn, I remember where I was at. He has been a staple in my life. He had. Kendrick forced him to have to remind people. He's still. He's still playing Art of War now. It was a good move, finally.
Mal
So you're saying Drake had to pop out and show you.
Rory
I mean, what's the name of the tour in London? They're not quite like us or something. No one's like us.
Mal
Whose tour is that?
Rory
It was in the 100 gigs he printed up that said, no one is like us. London 2024. I'm not making this up. It was.
Mal
I know you're not.
Rory
It's in the. No. No one is like us.
Julian
Do we think that this is no one? No one likes us.
Rory
No one likes us.
Mal
Yeah, we think that this is like the end of Drake moving and doing like this. Or do we think that there's no.
Rory
There was the. The other account. All right, so to backtrack this plot twist, Finster, that was started in June. I want to say, like, on Monday of this week. It hit the timeline. Like, yo, Drake follows this page. That's private. It has 250 posts. This looks like something that has to do with the battle. Two days later, he made the account public. They found another one that said, oh, the other account got y'all anxious. Round two, fight. So there is still another private Instagram account. So, no, I think this is going to continue for the next month, which is fine. It just has to Be good. I'm not mad at the three records, but if you're not going to take the time off and make people miss you and you want to remind people how good you are, that second Instagram account, when you unlock it, has to have some shit. Those three records are cool. Yeah, but it has to have some shit.
Julian
Of those three records which Rory's mentioned. Let's go through those real quick. It's up, which features young thug and 21 savage, green, blue and Red, which is just Drake. And then Housekeeping with Drake and Lotto. Do you guys. What are your thoughts on the three of them? Do you have a favorite?
Rory
I like the Drake and Lotto record. I just don't know if it's gonna, like, work, per se. I think the hook is really good. I think Lotto is great on Felt like a throwaway Drake joint.
Damaris
I'm not a. I'm not a fan of Drake's Pocket.
Rory
Like the. Yeah, get on the stick. Like it. I guess I see what you're trying to do. It felt more like a throwaway than the other two to me. I thought Lotto did. Lotto kind of carried the record to me.
Mal
I want to hear Drake on records with Lotto that he's done with Sexy Red.
Rory
To me, that's like the Sexy Red record, sort of.
Damaris
Yeah, but I. I could hear Sexy Red on that.
Rory
Yeah, I wanted that felt like a joint he was working on for all the dogs and was like, oh, I still have this. I'll send it to Lotto Sister that's next to me.
Damaris
Oh, and you see, then being gossipy, being messy.
Rory
You being. I'm messy.
Damaris
That's messy.
Rory
I don't hang out with Drake. It's. You could go on TMZ and find it.
Julian
Drake.
Rory
He hangs out with Lotto's sister. All right, all right.
Mal
To speak to the music, we don't have to speak to personal relations. Yeah, see, that's the problem with you now everybody want to talk about everything outside of the music. Talk to the music.
Rory
You didn't want to talk about the music Kendrick made? What are we talking about?
Mal
I'm not talking about that weird ass record.
Damaris
He released more than one song. I'm just. Damn.
Mal
Yeah, but that was a weird record. That's all 42. Never talking about that.
Rory
All right, but there's weird cases, too.
Julian
Baka.
Damaris
Let's not Talk.
Rory
Why is J.D. vance around?
Damaris
Let's not talk about weird cases, please.
Rory
He said my. My mortgage rate is crazy right now because of illegal aliens.
Julian
Roy texted me that when I was at the gym and I almost dropped away, I was laughing so hard.
Rory
J.D. vance told me today that I can't buy a house because illegal aliens are buying up all the houses.
Julian
You went to Yale.
Rory
You know how hard it is to buy a house with a citizenship. Anyways, I just go vote. I didn't even know who to text. Like, I just texted Julian, like, what is going on with our country?
Mal
It's crazy.
Julian
Oh, man.
Rory
All right, back to the music. Blue pill. Red. Cool. Green. Great.
Julian
I wasn't crazy about that one. It's up is my favorite.
Rory
They're just cool.
Mal
Yeah, I like this up record a lot.
Julian
Him and him and 21 haven't missed.
Damaris
Yeah, it's up to a lot.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
I don't know if that's a record from the Her Loss era, but that is a great. That's a. That's a great track.
Mal
I'm just excited to see. You know, I like things like this when. When artists find new and creative ways to kind of like put out, engage the audience, keep people guessing what's next. Break down videos breaking down lyrics and things like that. I like. Like, this is to me is. Is a win for us as consumers. I think this is dope. I think this is cool. And I can't wait to hear, you know, what's on that next. That next Fenster.
Julian
People are speculating that something may come tomorrow from the Plot Twist account.
Mal
Well, today, if you listen to it.
Julian
Today, if you're listening, they said Headlines was. Which was released August 9th. Obviously today is August 9th. He posted a random photo of an audio file yesterday and then a screen grab from the. Like the music video from Headlines as well. So people are thinking maybe tomorrow, today something's coming as well.
Rory
How did you guys feel about the J. Cole meme that was in the mix of the hundred gigs? I believe the meme said somebody stole J. Cole's phone and tried to call hov. He didn't pick up. Then they called the number from their phone and HOV picked up. Yeah. Hilarious meme, by the way. Super funny meme.
Julian
It's not even a meme. It's just like a. It's just a joke. Like, it's just text. It's just text.
Rory
Very funny.
Mal
Remember when J. Cole got his phone stolen out of his pocket by a fan and they called Jay Z from it, but he wasn't answering? So they called from their phone and he picked up. You know how crazy it is for Jay Z to answer your phone number?
Damaris
People are so Fucking.
Rory
If y'all remember, in like 09, 2010, in like the wild, wild west of Twitter, the running joke was that J. Cole had never even met Jay Z. Like, I remember that cove would never even go near him. That was. I mean, obviously that.
Julian
Yeah, well, the screen grab from this tweet says this was in 2019 is when this. The tweet is from.
Rory
So have they done a record since? Nice watch.
Mal
No. J, J and J. Cole.
Rory
Yeah.
Damaris
Nah, it's kind of wild, you know, I know you guys all hate that record. I like it.
Julian
I like Mr. Nice watch.
Damaris
Yeah, Rory hates. Rory hates Mr. Nice so bad. You never kill me. Nice. Try no one Mr. Nice guy.
Rory
And then you don't have to. Not to be on. Not to be on Drake's side here. But that's that same year. Look at what Drake did with his whole feature.
Damaris
That was. What was that? Pound cake?
Rory
No, on thank Me Later.
Damaris
Oh, that was the same year. No, it had to be.
Rory
Thank Me later was a few months apart. That's how you get a whole feature. You do like a B side joint like that.
Damaris
Yeah.
Rory
Not a horrible attempt at a single.
Mal
Do we think a Drake album is coming? Oh, we think we're going to just use it like this.
Damaris
Yes.
Mal
For the rest of the year.
Damaris
I think Drake is going to continue to release little four packs every here and there.
Rory
Wait, first of all, don't skip my question, guys.
Damaris
What was your question?
Rory
I know Julian was trying to move on to the 400 hurdles. Is that not crazy that Drake posted that? Do we think that Drake and Cole are now at odds?
Damaris
No, I don't think it's at odds.
Julian
I'm gonna say no, I don't think odds.
Mal
I just think that Drake. I think what Drake is going to do with the. With, with. With what he's doing, he's going to remind everyone that, you know, like, I don't, I don't forget, but I forgive you.
Rory
But what. What did Cole do wrong to Drake? Just bound out, bro.
Mal
J. Cole essentially started this whole. The Kendrick response was about J. Cole's bar on that record.
Rory
So he should be mad at J. Cole for rapping. Probably the best verse of this year or last year.
Mal
First person shooter came J. Cole deleting the song, going on Dreamville stage, apologizing, saying he couldn't sleep. Like, what does that have to do.
Rory
Why? How is that here? He said on the record, anything foul to Drake.
Mal
He said on the record that dot that. That dot was weak as. Like, the way you handle that was that was. That was. That was trash.
Rory
Cool.
Damaris
Okay. But he didn't diss Drake when Newton.
Rory
Why the. Why would you actually be mad at Colt?
Mal
I don't. I'm not saying. I'm not saying mad, but he definitely looks at Cole some type of way, like, yo, that. What the was that about? Like that. You talking about corny. That was corny. You can't put a ver. A song out and then take it back. Like, what the is that? That's not crazy to you, but we.
Rory
Just talking about rapping as somebody that they've told us this. I don't know. They say they're friends. Yeah.
Mal
I could be mad at my friend at the way my friend handles some shit.
Rory
Yeah, but if that's. That's your friend, then you're going to just add, like, corny meme shit into your thing that, you know, everyone's gonna.
Damaris
Pick up on friends, bro.
Rory
I mean, I agree there, but I don't. I really don't know the two of them like that to ever say if they're friends or not. But that, to me, was. Was kind of corny of Drake to throw it in there. Like the bar in the first disc. Cool. Yeah.
Julian
What?
Rory
Cold. It was weak. I'm not on that time. I mean, I'm here to rap.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Cole deserved that bar.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
But the meme. If that's like your man's. That time has passed.
Mal
He just poking fun at him. That's just. That's just fun. That ain't like. That ain't beef. That's just poking fun.
Rory
But. But what's the purpose of it? Out of all the memes that you could have thrown in your hundred gigs, why that one?
Mal
I mean, it's funny.
Damaris
Yeah. You being funny in the public to somebody you claimed was your friend. It's them. Is not.
Rory
Can I get my theory?
Damaris
What's your theory, Poops?
Rory
I. I know Cole to be friends with both of them, like he says. I think after the pedophile accusations, Drake hit Cole and was like, yo, what you think? Like, you don't think this is weird or corny? And Cole has continued his relationship with Kendrick, and I think Drake took that as a line in the sand. You are now taking Kendrick's side if you're still cool with him, the same way he's doing it with LeBron.
Damaris
I'm not mad when.
Rory
When Bronze been rapping that and his wife has on the PG Lang. I think Drake is looking at everybody that still speaks to Kendrick, even if they were all mutual. Friends and putting a line in the sand. If you with Kendrick, I can't with you. That's what I think it is.
Mal
Isn't that obvious, though.
Rory
I just don't think Cole deserved that.
Mal
Like, yo, listen, I with Cole too, but what he did was crazy.
Rory
I'm talking about way after.
Mal
No, it's still. I think Cole, I think still part of it.
Rory
They've had full conversations and Cole was like, yeah, I spoke to Kendrick. Like, we. We still cool. I. I don't know. I'm not about to say Kendrick. I think Drake wants everybody to say Kendrick and nobody's doing it.
Mal
I don't think. I don't think nobody. I don't think Drake is expecting or wants anybody to say fuck Kendrick.
Rory
Oh, I think he's definitely expecting.
Mal
No, I think, I think that Drake is just looking at everybody funny that has either supported that song. Definitely anybody that was at the show, like, that's what. I don't think he's expecting people to be like, yo, fuck, fuck Kendrick. No, it ain't. I don't think it's that. I just think he's just like, oh, okay, that's what you. Oh, you fucking with this guy. Like, okay, that's your man. Okay. You're at his show supporting his. Oh, okay, cool.
Rory
I think Drake is. Is finally living his bars of no friends in the industry. The shit he's been rapping about non stop of being backstabbed, all that when he was like, yo, you got like a really tight knit crew that you've had your whole life. Why do you keep talking about this backstabbing shit? Because it sounds great on record. I think finally he's living it. All the rhymes. He talked about being betrayed. I think finally he feels like it's really happening. And I think he looks at Cole crazy. I think he looks at LeBron crazy. And I don't think that's fair to someone like Cole. Like, Rob been friends with both y'all. Like, yeah, but at a battle and. But why you keep all this. Why are you.
Mal
Why are you doing what you're doing? Why are you acting like the song and the verse never came out? And he took it back because that.
Damaris
Was very obviously playful. And then when he. Like, we already. First of all, we already came to. Way back then when we discussed in the podcast, we already came to the conclusion that Cole thought was just. It was all cool. And then he found out, no, these really hate each other. And he was like, oh, okay, I thought we were all friends. I'm gonna get the up out of here. I thought we all had came to that agreement, that that was what Cole thought it was. He thought it was friendly fire. When he found out the fire was not friendly at all, he got the up out of there. I can't blame him from that. If you' friends with two people and then you. Y'all all play fighting and then they really start trying to hurt each other, you back out like, oh, I didn't know that this was real hate. I can't blame him for that.
Rory
As a rapper, I'm still on the side.
Damaris
Yes, of course.
Rory
You enter the room as a person. Yeah, I'm getting the out of here. Like, y'all about to do some weird that I want nothing to do with. I like my wife and my kids. I'm going this way. But yo, that's a person. But as a rapper, you think that, like.
Mal
Yes, that's the wildest ever. We've never seen no. Like that.
Damaris
Okay, but I'm not. Okay, we already know, rap wise, he loses all types of points. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the fact that these are people. Just like, how you saying Kendrick can't say it's just rap because he's calling Drake a pedophile. Right, exactly. So what I'm saying is, as a person, you still look at J. Cole and. And say that even though he was having friendly fire with his friend and found out that his friend was about to take way crazy to a point, you said this. That he took it too far and it was too crazy. And it was the worst thing that you could say about a man. You blame J. Cole for backing out when his friend obviously gave him a warning. Hey, I'm not playing with this. This is not for play Play. You still as a human, not as a rapper. As a human, you still think that that's crazy.
Mal
I think that's absolutely crazy. Okay, because we just talking about rapping here. Like, what are we talking about?
Damaris
If it's just rap, then why the do you. Then why the can Kendrick not come out and say that Drake is a pedophile? If it's just.
Mal
You don't put. Because you don't play with that.
Damaris
That exact my point.
Mal
That's not your point. You don't play with pedophilia.
Rory
Why am I leaving condoms on your baby seat? Like it's. It's a battle.
Mal
That's. That's the same as, yo, you're a pedophile. What are you talking about?
Rory
It's still in the same.
Mal
No, it's not.
Rory
Anything.
Damaris
It's not.
Rory
Anything goes in rap.
Mal
No, it does not.
Rory
Yes, it does.
Mal
No, it does not. No, it does not.
Rory
Have you watched, bro?
Mal
You don't.
Rory
Don't tell me it's all about raping daughters, like, all right, they do.
Mal
Okay.
Rory
You say that rap battle take. They take it too far. And, yeah, I think maybe one day we should have that conversation that maybe anything shouldn't go into battle. But we know that is the rules when it comes to this. Anything goes. If somebody called me a pedophile and you were still cool with them, I'd feel the same way Drake does. I get it. But I enter the ring where anything goes.
Mal
When you. Anything goes. I understand what you're saying by that. I understand. This is rap. It's bars and all of that. It's just certain things that we just should not try to turn into an entertainment topic. Pedophilia, that's something that we never. You never throw that on the table and be like, no, I'm just fucking with you. No. What mall.
Rory
I have watched a battle rapper say, I'm gonna rape your daughter and use the name. And then it was sponsored by DraftKings and Ciroc. Like. Like, anything goes in the shit again.
Mal
Again, even that is crazy to me.
Rory
There was healthcare ads on YouTube in between raping a girl. That exists.
Mal
I get all of that. I'm just saying, to me, just to me, I'm not here to tell you what to believe or you to tell you what to feel. When you start talking about sexual assault or you start talking about children and sexually assaulting children and sleeping with underage and minors, I'm not. I'm not joking with that. I'm not playing with that. That's just me again, like, what you like, that's fair game to me. That's just crazy. And now if the artist you're talking about is looking at anybody that's supporting that and looking at them funny and not fucking with them, I understand that, too. Cause I said, what happens when the nice guy doesn't want to be nice anymore? Cool. What happens when he wants to be the villain? What happens when he wants to shit on people? What happens when he wants to not give people opportunity and support their. Their careers and help them as he's been helping them? Especially when it's now he's not part of the culture. He's not black. He's a white boy. You know, he's all of this shit.
Rory
Okay? But also. And I'm not Comparing someone's baby mother to pedophilia. But if somebody said they left a used condom on Amar's baby seat, to me, that's too far. That's up there with pedophilia. Like, just.
Mal
No, it's not any accusation. No, it is not bringing in kids. It is not.
Rory
You said bringing in kids was the kid. Was the kid there?
Mal
Did I throw my condom on your baby while the baby.
Rory
Now you're just putting yourself in a. A smaller box. As far as what's okay and what's not, you kids get brought in.
Mal
It's not the same, bro. It's not the same pedophiles. Me, your baby mother in. In. In her car. And me throwing a condom in your baby seat that's in the back seat is not the same as. Yo, he's a pedophile. That's not the same.
Rory
Okay. Do you think NASA partnering with Power 105 to hang Jay Z with a noose sponsored by every company you could think of at that show is not in the same realm as Kendrick saying, yo, you got a weird case. I heard you like little girls.
Mal
And if I don't have.
Rory
This is not the first time lines have been crossed.
Mal
No, it's not. This.
Rory
Hanging Jay Z by a noose at Power 105's concert, it's not in the same realm.
Mal
If I understand what you're saying, for Power 105 to get behind that messaging and all that, yeah, that is crazy.
Rory
It's crazy.
Mal
But to me, it's not crazy when you think of it like, okay, at least. At least it is crazy. I'm agreeing with you on that part. But two things can be true. It's crazy, but to me, it's even crazier. If Nas was a white rapper, that's when it would have really been crazy. But the fact that Nas is a black man and he's battling another black man, while it's crazy for 105, that's a white company.
Rory
I was about to say a bunch of white people funded that production.
Mal
That's why I said I understand what.
Rory
It was and then advertised it.
Mal
I understand what you're saying. Yes, that's crazy. But at the same time, I'm not comparing Nas. Like the craziness of Nas hanging a figure of Jay Z at a concert in 105, supporting that being a predominantly white company. I'm not comparing that to calling somebody a pedophile.
Rory
I think that.
Mal
No, I'm not.
Rory
I think that is way further than Yo, Drake I heard you like him young.
Mal
Okay.
Rory
Way crazier to me to shoot a documentary behind the scenes of how the production team put together the noose. They. They did a. They tried it a few times to get it right.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
And they shot a documentary about it.
Mal
Yeah. They had to get the timing of it crazy. I'm agreeing with you. I don't want you to think that I'm.
Rory
So Kendrick didn't do something that's unknown. As far as overstepping when it comes to battles, our favorites have done it. Hoven Nas overstepped. If we're going to get into that.
Damaris
Realm to round out you guys argument because y'all are gonna never agree on this. All of it is crazy. And there should be lines drawn in hip hop that have. Should have been drawn years ago. Hip hop has always been fucking disgusting and jokes about the wrong shit. Fine. But as far as the J. Cole part, which was the original part of this conversation, I think we can all. Even if you don't agree with it, I think you can understand at the aftermath why he got the. Out of there if he.
Mal
Yeah, he was scared.
Damaris
Friends with both.
Rory
I don't.
Mal
Go ahead.
Julian
I was gonna. I mean, I. Everyone. This. The thing with like, again, everything subjective. Obviously you guys have different lines. I don't think there should be a line drawn. Because when you're drawing a line, that means it's like a universal truth that things can be too far. Wherein most people in this case don't think something's too far. Where Mall's line thinks the pedophilia is too far, Rory doesn't. So like, it's not. There's no universal line that can be inserted into these things.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
People I'm on the side of, there's no rules. If you agree to this, go for it. If you. If whatever happens in the process of the battle itself, you signed up for it, that's a part of the battle.
Mal
So. Okay, so I think your beef should.
Rory
Be with Spotify pushing a record about pedophilia rather than.
Mal
I mean, that's a whole nother. That's a whole nother.
Rory
To me, that's power 105 doing the new and funding it. Like, that's where my issue would.
Mal
We said we spoke about Kendrick was for Amazon to throw that concert together like. Like based around a record with that message. We spoke about it. It was insane.
Julian
No, but Tommy the Clown.
Mal
Yeah, I mean. Right.
Rory
Crazy.
Mal
You know what I mean? But I mean the reason why what you just said, Julian is kind of like Agreeing with me is because like you said, if you. If you want it to be no lines and all, it's all fair and whatever. Love and war. Whatever you want to say.
Julian
Yeah.
Mal
Then it's even crazy that J. Cole backed out because you engaged.
Rory
Nah, if it's. No, if he jumped into it. I've known for.
Mal
He jumped into it. So you can't say. You can't say there's no lines. There should be no lines. And then if somebody backs out because, yo, they about to cross the line, they about to go too far, then that's even crazy if you're going to say that there shouldn't be no lines.
Julian
No, no, no. Because we've said if they were strangers.
Damaris
Then, yeah, if they were stranger. They're friends.
Mal
They are friends.
Damaris
If me and you.
Mal
How you know J. Cole and Kendrick are friends? Okay, how do you know that? I'm just saying. How do you know that?
Damaris
Okay, okay, Mom.
Mal
All right. I'm asking you, how do you know.
Damaris
That A lot of the. That you know.
Mal
How do you know that J. Cole and Kendrick are friends? How do you know that? Jay, I'm speaking to. How you saying that they're friends? How do you know that J. Cole and Kendrick, how do you know that they're friends? Because I know people that know both of them that be like, yo, I've been telling you for years that they're not friends. That he is. He's not cool with you. So how do you know all of a sudden that they're friends?
Julian
They have a working relationship. Friendship's different. Fine. Won't call it friendship. They have a working relationship.
Rory
Yeah, I mean, that's. I'm on that side of working relationship. I don't know these people. So.
Mal
So that's all I'm speaking to. You say, yo, they're friends.
Julian
The whole. Back to the whole. Like, Cole. Eve backing out, though, was when Schoolboy reached out to him and he said, yo, I think you think this is like a friendly rap battle. This isn't. Between these two guys. If you're in that, go for it. But I don't think you think this is going to go the way you thought it was. So for that, Cole's like, oh, shit, never mind. I thought this was for sport. It's not. I'm out.
Rory
Because that's what the sport really is. There's no rules not to plug. But when we did the Washington Post interview, when that whole happened, remember that phone call with the writer? I said, there's no rules in any of this. But I think eventually, years down the line we're going to realize that there should be. This is, this is too much. We're going to look back at these battles and be like, why did we, why were we entertained by some of these accusations? It's in print in the Washington Post. But in this time, right now, you're not changing the rules. This is what it is. And if I'm Kendrick going into a rap battle and there are clips and dms that could paint a picture of Drake liking young girls, why wouldn't you go after that? The same way that there's no real evidence. And I'm not trying to downplay domestic violence at all. I don't know any real evidence of Kendrick beating his wife. But that was a theme in Drake's thing. At least one side at least has some public evidence. It's a rap battle. Do you not see how those things can balance each other out? We don't. None of us know if Kendrick beats his wife. But that was a full theme. Is the domestic violence not a big thing?
Mal
Yeah, to me.
Rory
Yeah, same. So to put that on somebody with no evidence at all, you could say the exact same thing. Why are you putting that on me? The I don't beat my wife. You're just viewing it just from Drake's lens.
Mal
What do you, what do you think is more likely? I'm just asking if. Don't even put no names to it. If somebody said, yo, he's.
Rory
If you want me to answer that by the numbers, it would be higher that someone beats their wife than they are a pedophile. If you want to go by the numbers, okay, but now you're putting yourself in a smaller box as far as rules when it comes to battle. Should I look at percentage?
Mal
No, no, no. I'm just asking. I'm just asking you.
Rory
It's more likely with no evidence to accuse someone of domestic violence instead of all these TikTok clips of Drake talking weird to a 17 year old DMing and I'm not. I don't think Drake's a pedophile. I really don't. But if there's evidence that I'm going into a rap battle and I have these real things that the world has seen, I'm not going to rap about it. But when Drake's case, you're saying day free is someone's baby mom and like you beat your wife and his has no evidence. The pedophile shit actually has some background to it.
Damaris
Yeah. Kendrick didn't create that narrative. Yeah, that's not a. Kendrick went on Internet and stole that narrative. He didn't create that narrative. That wasn't a unique narrative. And if something that people have been arguing about for a while and if.
Rory
We step out of the rap battle world, I'm on your side. That's nasty. Of how.
Damaris
Agreed.
Rory
How serious that issue is to just call somebody that insane. But we're in the rap battle world, anything can go. I don't even know how we got on this through the 100 gigs thing.
Damaris
Because we were talking about cold, but y'all went down a whole other rabbit hole.
Rory
Can I ask you to ask Drake one question, even though I know him and I are not on the best terms? Is that most death flip that he did a new record that he's gonna put out, or is that just some old shit that's gonna stay in a hard drive? Because that record was incredible.
Mal
Yeah, that was one of the ones that in clicking through the. All of the files, hearing that record, anytime you get to hear. Anytime you hit, you get to hear Drake on a. Like a soul sample, like a. A flip. That. That vibe, obviously, we know that's one of Drake's greatest pockets is that type of. That type of vibe, that type of bounce felt.
Rory
Felt like a 40 flip too.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
40 is the best, in my opinion, when it comes to current samplers.
Mal
Well, not just that. Not just that. 40 and Drake obviously are on a. A certain type of, you know, chemistry together that they just. They know each other. 40 knows exactly what pocket, what bounce, what zone to put Drake in to maximize those type of bars, those type of. Those types of words and things like that, to put together that type of sound, that type of feeling to match that vibe. Like, that's what, 40 and that's a pick and roll for 40 and Drake. That type of vibe is a bucket.
Rory
If we play this, you think it'll get flagged? Well, let's play it because he's talking about a kid reference, right? So it can't be that old. Most after panties amazing record. Yeah.
Julian
This is crazy.
Rory
Hey, stupid.
Julian
That's from. He used those lyrics in the song.
Rory
Okay, I want to get flagged.
Julian
The first two bars of this are from that feature he has on Smiley's record, the over the Top.
Rory
Okay.
Julian
The level is just too advanced. The bezel is Tiffany Stamp. That's that He.
Rory
He also had.
Julian
Sounds great on that soul record, though.
Rory
Footage of what became you with me on Views that had a crazy soul sample flip. He. I think he only used like eight bars of it. And you with me, it was a whole different record.
Julian
I like this.
Mal
I think we're gonna get. I think we're gonna get all of these songs on one. So, like, he's gonna release these on. On dsp.
Rory
My next question to you guys before we got on that rant that, speaking of that is, how do you think Universal is involved with this entire thing? That's what's kind of been racking my brain of this rollout and putting out these. These hundred gigs thing. Is it something Universal would allow without monetizing? Like, there has to be some type of plan, even though he's Drake, that Universal would not allow somebody they've had under contract since 08 to put out a hundred gigs of footage that also has music they own and things that they could leverage for real documentaries, like. I just don't know if Universal is cool with all this.
Mal
I mean, we obviously know Drake has a certain specific type of relationship with his label. I think that the rules, while there are rules, I think there's some rules that just don't apply to Drake when it comes to creatively how he wants to release, what he wants to do. I think that obviously there has to be some type of communication between the label, but I don't think the. The label would get in the way or try to stop him from doing this or he owes them money as a result of it. I don't think his relationship is like. I think obviously the rules are very different for Drake.
Rory
You don't think that Universal owns that GoDaddy link100gigs.org no.
Mal
I don't. I just think the rules are different when we talking about Drake. And this is just Drake. I know that some artists are big and they have. But obviously when we talk about Drake, we're talking about, you know, one of one.
Rory
I think he ruffled some feathers. I think a lot of this footage Universal feels like they own, even if. Even if it's on someone's phone or someone else's camera. This was part of your recording budget on our studio time. I don't care if it's at your fucking crib or anywhere else. This is our footage.
Damaris
I don't think so.
Julian
It's not how that works.
Mal
I don't.
Damaris
I don't think so.
Rory
Okay.
Damaris
I could record it. If I record something on my phone. If somebody, a friend of mine records something on their phone.
Rory
All right, listen. As someone that's had a record contract with a major label, and I talk. Do not. No, I'm not bragging. I'M actually embarrassed. Someone that they did not give a about. When I had a line item of a camera person that was shooting something during the contract that we had, they felt like they own that bts.
Damaris
Yeah, but that's a camera person. Not me.
Rory
That camera person.
Damaris
I understand that, but I have in my.
Rory
I mean, I hired them, paid them, but then they were reimbursed from the label.
Damaris
Yes, but that's.
Rory
You don't think that happened in some of these earlier clips with Drake? I think now this. The current stuff. Hell no. Drake is finding his own people. You don't have to reimburse anybody if.
Damaris
It'S a kid that was part of a recording budget, for sure if it's a camera person. But a lot of these videos are. Is like, when I'm recording you in the studio on my phone, if I'm doing that, that's not being paid for by anybody. That's my footage. If I decide to send it to you based on.
Mal
To the music that's playing in the footage.
Damaris
Okay, but that doesn't have anything to. No, I don't.
Mal
I'm with you. I don't think that. I don't think that the label. Like I said, the rules are very different. We talking about Drake, so I don't. I don't think the label has any say here. I think they're watching it and they're seeing what he's doing and they're communicating like, yo, so what's the plan? Are you planning on putting these songs out, like, on a platform? Like, what's going on here?
Rory
I. I'm looking.
Damaris
I don't think any of these songs.
Mal
Are coming out, because I think they are.
Rory
I know.
Mal
I think he's gonna. I think he's gonna put them together and put them out at some point.
Rory
I know how they viewed my measly old footage. That had to do with podcast stuff, had to do with content that they wanted to fully own. And I am not in the same stratosphere as Aubrey Graham.
Mal
Right.
Rory
If you think that Universal is okay with snippets of songs that they own with extra verses that wasn't cleared, we're on a different page there. I don't think Universal is happy with any of this.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
I just think they're ready to lose their mind that Drake put out this gold mine without their clearance because that, to them, could be owned. That's their footage.
Mal
Yeah, I just think. I don't know. I want to hear all of the music, though. Give us the music. Put it out at some point. I like this, you know, little way that he's. He's doing it. But at some point we need all of these in the collection and just. Just give us the fucking music.
Rory
I would love a. Was it a dark demo tapes? What was the. I would love all that with like songs we've like that. You with you with me, for example. Like we've heard some of those bars, but it's on a different beat. I would love for all that to come out. Even if I've heard some of these verses in their originality, I think would be a really cool thing to do.
Mal
Yes.
Rory
To put on streaming.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Because that stuff sounds.
Mal
Well, I do think we're gonna get that. He obviously at. He was. He popped out at the. The Party Next Door show in Toronto and announced that him and Party have an album coming October, November. Ish. So we do know that new Drake and party music is coming. But I do think that he'll put these songs out on 100 gigs. I think we will get these songs at some point as well.
Rory
I hope so. Obviously they all sound great.
Mal
It's gonna be a busy fourth quarter. It's gonna be a lot of music, I think, released in this fourth quarter. A lot of new music coming out this weekend as well, I think. Summertime Butch, Benny the Butcher's project coming out, he sent it to me the other day. And this project that Benny is putting out, Summertime Butch, this is what I thought his release on Def Jam was gonna sound like. The music Harry Fraud is on there, like, he's just back to that. Like when I first heard Benny rapping, when I first started listening to him, he kind of sounds like he's back in that mindset as far as just bars and. And, you know, not overthinking it because sometimes, you know, a lot of these artists, they sign these deals and they have to now make music. It's a business now. You start creating differently. And I thought with his, his, his. His album on Def Jam, I just thought that it was like maybe, you know, this is on Def Jam started to weigh into him and you know, people are listening now and it's a. You know, this is the first release here. This is such an iconic label. I got a cop. He even put himself in the. In the. In the. In the. Bullseye with saying this is the biggest release since he did some.
Rory
No Lyle, you know what I mean?
Mal
Like, he set the bar. He set the bar.
Rory
Very Def Jam album. I'm like.
Mal
Since, like.
Rory
I don't know, man.
Mal
In the last 20 years or something like that.
Rory
I think the blueprint was on Def Jam.
Mal
Yeah. Like, so. So Benny, he set the bar extremely high for himself. Right.
Rory
And I'm. I'm glad to hear that you like the new project, because I love it. You had posted.
Mal
I love it.
Rory
The. That he had sent you the early. Yeah, you were very objective off the Def Jam one. I know it's your man's, but you're like, nah, shit, ain't it?
Mal
It wasn't what I was expecting. But this. This summertime butch, this shit, this is the music. I think that every. Every fan, everybody that loves Benny, everybody that fell in love with him early on, like, when they start. When they heard him, this is the type of songs and the bars that we wanted on the Def Jam Release. This is 100% for everybody that ever heard Benny and was like, damn, I fuck with him. I like him.
Rory
After the Def Jam release, I started to think that, like, maybe he got that Def Jam dental plan and got addicted to that laughing gas, and that's maybe why the release wasn't up to par.
Julian
Sick transition.
Mal
Yeah, that was awful. But let's get into it. All right, so Kanye's former chief of staff.
Rory
It wasn't that bad.
Mal
It was terrible. That was terrible. That was terrible. Okay, so just to put that. Hey, I'm. That was. I was terrible, but shoot or shoot me. Fucking shoot. Listen, go get a rebound peach. Kanye's former chief. Kanye's former chief.
Rory
I didn't follow my shot.
Mal
Nah, man. This shit is all over the place. Don't worry about it. So Kanye's former chief of staff. I believe his name is Milo.
Julian
Yeah.
Rory
He's a piece of fucking shit. If we want to talk about pedophiles.
Mal
You called that. You called that months ago when he had his whole thing with. Yes, Jules.
Rory
Awful fucking human being.
Mal
So he's alleging that Kanye's dentist is supplying him with nitrous in a predatory manner, leading to an addiction that made him no longer capable of successfully releasing music or clothing. I like the word successfully there because I believe Kanye can still release music and clothing he just released. But will he do it successfully? It won't be successful. And Milo is attaching that to his addiction to nitrous oxide that his dentist is supplying. Allegedly supplying ye with.
Rory
So, again, Milo's a piece of shit. But PJ and I were talking off mic before you came. We saw the start of this rabbit hole and, like, laughed. And the more I read this thread, he may be bringing up some Good points. There may be some truth to this.
Mal
Why do you say that?
Rory
I guess it's my tinfoil hat, but I can. Oh, boy, here we go. My tinfoil hat. Crazy. When. Yay. Do you think Kanye.
Mal
No, when your tinfoil hat is right, it's right. I'm give you that.
Damaris
But when that.
Mal
But when it's wrong, it's time to put that foil back in the cupboard, man. God. Take that shit off.
Rory
Well, y'all think we landed on the moon, so I can't even have conversations.
Julian
I'm with you on that.
Mal
Rory, you don't think we landed on.
Julian
Moon either, right here? Hell, no.
Rory
So you don't think when Kanye posted that screenshot of his trainer saying he's going to put him back on those drugs and all those threats, and then you look into who that trainer is? Maybe there's some validity to the people that are around ye and trying to attack Kanye West. I'm not anyone.
Mal
I get what you said.
Rory
Did you believe that screenshot that Kanye posted? I don't think that was Photoshop. I think Kanye's a lot of things and a lot of crazy, and I mean that respectfully, but a lot of crazy. I don't think he's a liar. I really don't.
Mal
You don't think Kanye is a liar?
Damaris
Oh, wait, no. Kanye done lied a couple times.
Rory
He's lied?
Damaris
Yeah.
Rory
Lying doesn't make you a liar. Does that make sense?
Mal
Lying doesn't make you. Oh, you sound like.
Damaris
No. Lying.
Rory
No, no, no, no, no. You sound like one of those liars.
Mal
You sound like one of the bad that get caught time and time again and be like, yo, like, lying don't make me a liar.
Rory
I had to someone else to love you more.
Damaris
Just because somebody lies doesn't make them a liar.
Rory
I think. I think everyone in this room has lied before.
Mal
What makes you. I don't.
Rory
Just.
Julian
Just because we drink doesn't make us drinkers.
Mal
Just because.
Damaris
Yeah, just because you had a shot. You had a shot. That doesn't make you a.
Rory
To drink. We drunk them, got drunk, and now I think she thinks I'm cool.
Mal
That should be in a museum. I should be able to read that on the wall. I should definitely be able to read that on the wall.
Rory
Teddy penned her ass over greatest pen over Damaris.
Mal
What makes a liar a liar?
Damaris
I think when there's a percentage thing, right? Like when 70%. Let's say 70. 70, actually. Let's do 50. When 50% of the things you say are a lie, you're a liar.
Julian
That's a lot of shit.
Damaris
Just because you tell a lie doesn't make you a liar.
Julian
Half the things you say is a lie. That's a lot of.
Rory
You're a liar.
Julian
You're liar.
Mal
No, you're a piece of.
Rory
That's 50% of what you say is full of. You're a liar.
Mal
That's a piece of.
Julian
Yeah, I know.
Rory
So. But I will say I don't think Kanye was lying about that. I think Kanye has lied before.
Mal
Okay.
Rory
But he doesn't strike me as a liar.
Damaris
Like, where you have to question every single.
Rory
Every last thing that there's.
Julian
Yeah.
Rory
Like when Kanye posts a screenshot, I don't have to think, all right, maybe this is a Photoshop thing that he put together for a scheme. Like, he's not that type of person. To me.
Mal
Yeah, no, no, no, I'm with you. I'm just. I'm watching the USA go down 12. That's all right. But, God, I'm listening.
Rory
No, go ahead. What's up?
Julian
We're watching the US crumble against Serbia.
Rory
It's not. Yeah, I was looking this way. The TV's over there.
Mal
No, he hit a three. And I looked at Julian because I knew Julian was watching. I'm like, liars. No, look.
Julian
At me.
Mal
And I told Julian they was going.
Rory
To lose in the beginning of the episode.
Julian
I thought they were gonna lose, too.
Rory
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Damaris
Right now they was laughing at you, best friend.
Julian
No, that's not. To be honest, I wasn't listening to. Roy was.
Mal
No, I was listening to him. But when that three went in, I looked at Julian. Julian was like. I'm like, yeah, I told you they was going to lose this game. What's up, y'all? Thought Serbia was gonna be on top of Kanye.
Rory
What's up?
Julian
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Back to the. Back to the doctor. Back to the doctor.
Rory
Okay.
Julian
You haven't seen him yet. This is him. This is what Kanye's dentist looks like. Pitbull.
Damaris
I know his dick little.
Julian
That's his doctor.
Mal
Okay. He's a dentist. That works out.
Julian
No. What do you want your dentist to look like this?
Mal
I don't want my dentist to look like that, but I'm not saying a dentist. A dentist. It's not impossible for a dentist to look like that, is what I'm saying.
Julian
Like, this guy's in your mouth.
Rory
I mean, how small dentist rooms are. It'd be a little claustrophobic with.
Mal
Now it's not impossible for you to get cool with your Dentist and be like, yo, listen, I like that nitrous oxide shit.
Damaris
He looks like a. He doesn't look like a regular dentist. He looks like a specialized.
Julian
Like, Looks like a black ops.
Mal
Well, if he's operating and putting jewelry in your teeth, he's. That looks like a certified dentist.
Rory
Is he in the common room in prison? Where the fuck is he?
Damaris
The gym. That's the gym.
Julian
Hashtag blessed.
Rory
Looks like the mess hole.
Julian
That tattoo is crazy.
Mal
Yeah. That's not your. Your prototypical. Which a prototypical dentist would.
Julian
You got the hairline inked.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
So do you think special op CIA people can get to that point, but also couldn't learn how to be dentists? Oh, and be targeted.
Mal
They can learn to be anything. Okay, that. That's. If you. I'm not arguing with.
Rory
You could figure out how to become a dentist.
Mal
I'm not arguing with. I'm not arguing you on that point. Like, I. They can get in anywhere, but I don't know if they care about Kanye like that enough to be like, yo, go through the dentist. This is how we're gonna get to him through his dentist.
Julian
He also speculated that the diamonds that Yachty has in his teeth are also fake.
Mal
I mean, that's not Milo. Okay? Who cares about that?
Julian
I'm just saying his whole. He's saying this dentist's whole MO is to target black celebrities, and he puts fake diamonds in their.
Mal
All right, why now, Milo? Okay, why now?
Julian
Because you got fired.
Mal
Of course. See? So now it's like, because you got fired, now it's all of this, like, why not say this when you're not fired?
Julian
Where's the fun in that? The checks are clearing.
Damaris
Right?
Mal
And that's. And that's the point. I think Milo's the agent, not the dentist.
Rory
What's the fastest way to get something into your body? You snort it through your gums. Oh, gum health can. Outside of your gut. Gum health is probably dictates most of the body.
Mal
So you. So you. So you're on board with this?
Rory
That's not in this theory. This is just my own brain circulating through that weirdo pedophile bringing this up. I think yay. Has been targeted. I think people really care about Kanye west, and I think they've done a great job of ruining the influence that he had.
Julian
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Damaris
Okay.
Mal
I'm not mad.
Julian
It's a decent hat.
Mal
Not mad at that.
Rory
I think. I think Kanye west is an extremely important and influential person. Not in entertainment. In the world, for sure.
Mal
For sure.
Rory
Yeah. You don't think he would be on a CIA list? I'm not saying he's saying anything. That's profound. And I think there's a reason.
Mal
I think once you start talking about running for president, you might be on the CIA list. I think they start looking at all of those people like, oh, yeah, okay. So. I don't know, man. I'm just. I'm gonna take the opposite side of the tinfoil hat one on this one doing. I don't know. I don't think so. I just maybe kind. Now Kanye could have an addiction to nitrous oxide. I. I think people have addictions. That's a. If I'm cool, my dentist. It would be easy for me to get that.
Rory
And I'm not. I'm not doing what I did with Game as far as, like, diagnosing people.
Julian
No, go ahead. You can do it.
Rory
But judging by what Kanye has told us about his mental health. Yes. I can see addiction being a very easy thing for his brain to adapt to.
Julian
Just.
Rory
He's been addicted to porn. He's been. He's. He has a very impulsive brain.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
So you don't think somebody could easily get him addicted to any type of drug trainer. Do it. We saw, like, now the Dentist is where we draw on the line.
Mal
No, I'm not. No, I'm saying if you think that the CIA put the Dentist in there.
Rory
I'm being a little facetious.
Mal
I'm agreeing that his dentist is supplying him with nitrous oxide. I can see that that's not far fetched.
Julian
But you think for profit, not for the sake of tearing down Kanye?
Mal
No, I think not. For. No, I don't think he's doing it to tear down Kanye. No. Now, do I understand what Milo is probably alluding to? Like, it's affecting because it is a drug. Right. So I think that Milo has a argument and probably saying that, yo, he's addicted to this shit and it fucks up his performance, it fucks up his. His work pattern, his work behavior, his work energy, things like that. But do I think the Dentist is in on it and trying to, like, keep Kanye high so that he. He's not influential and he doesn't release great music and, And, And. And great clothing? I don't think the Dentist is thinking that deep into it. I think he's like, I'll supply you. I'll supply you with it. It's, you know, like, maybe the Dentist might even be on its way. He's like, yo, look yeah, I'm. I'm keeping track of how much of this shit I'm giving you. Like I understand. Yeah.
Julian
But any, any amount of recreational use.
Mal
Of that is at some point it's gonna be dangerous. Yeah.
Julian
That's the most safe way to administer recreational labs.
Mal
But I don't think that he's in on it. On a. Yeah, let me keep pumping this shit to him. So he's not a successful artist. Like. No, I don't. I don't think the dentist is that deep into it.
Julian
Well, according to the Yale Medicine Journal, the, the inhaling it recreationally can impair the body's metabolism and it's noticeable. Kanye's been gaining weight here. I know that can obviously happen among other things as well. But basically the inhaling this chips away at your. Your bite, your vitamin B12 levels in your body which protects the brain and spinal cord nitrous oxide. Long term use can lead to a range of neurological hemologic which is related to blood and psychiatric complications including nerve damage and psychosis. So I'm not throwing this on Carnegie's jacket, but like there's a. There you can see some signs.
Mal
Yeah.
Julian
Some shit it.
Rory
I don't want to go back to the trainer conversation, but have you guys ever seen a trainer say second option? I can have you institutionalize. You know I can't read again. Where they medicate the crap out of you and you go back to Zombieland forever. Play date with the kids just won't be the same. Who's. I've had a trainer whose trainer texts them like that. There's a bigger play here. So I don't think the dentist is the. Is not a culprit.
Mal
Yo, for your. Your trader text you like if I wake up and that's what my trainer text me. I'm not working out no more.
Damaris
Like I'm not working out no more.
Mal
Yeah, like you're fired. You're fired.
Rory
He started with I'm going to help you in a couple ways. First, you and I sit down and have a loving open conversation, but you don't use cuss words. And everything that is discussed is based on facts and not some crazy stuff that dumb friend of yours told you or you saw in a tweet. Second option zombies. Whose trainer speaks to them that way?
Mal
That is.
Rory
I don't think this is a fake. I really don't think this is a fake. Tweet, screenshot, whatever the he posts on Instagram. So why the dentist? We draw the line. There's no way the dentist could do something to an iconic figure.
Mal
Yeah, that's.
Rory
I didn't want to go down this, but.
Mal
But it's hard for me. It's hard for me not to agree with you, dude. It's hard.
Rory
And this is where I'm gonna be.
Mal
Objective, where you painting it. It's like, I can't argue that it's.
Rory
Where I'm being objective. Vultures, too. Dud sucks.
Julian
I haven't listened to it.
Rory
A lot of the records that I had sent you on the Vultures one link are on there.
Julian
Oh, those were good.
Rory
Yeah. But the ones that aren't.
Julian
I'm just not running to Kanye's music anymore, to be honest.
Rory
It's just all unfinished and, like, it all has great potential to be good, but it's just not. Not. It's kind of, like, unfortunate to see that that 5:30 record is fire.
Mal
But I like the one with. With Take off your dress, which has.
Rory
Changed, like, 30 times. And, like, they're uploading where the take off your dress and husband record, they. It ends up on another part of the album. Like, it was just sloppy. They're uploading songs titled different things. It's just all up, up. It's just rough.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
I feel for Ty, because I. I think Ty is, at this point is just like, all right, man. I. I smoked all these records, and you were supposed to do your side.
Mal
And what's happening.
Rory
Production is cool. Kanye's parts, like Vultures 1 are underwhelming. Ty did great on every song.
Julian
I mean, yeah, that's Ty's. Ty, he's.
Mal
And then. I mean, Ty probably approached that, like, this is. This collaborative energy that me and ye have right now is going to change my. Not saying that Ty didn't have success, but, like, obviously, he went into this when ye came at him with the idea of doing an album together. I know for Ty, his mind started saying, oh, this is it. Like, I'm on a whole different level now.
Rory
And what's kind of unfortunate, too, is the link I had for Vultures one was December of last year. And those. Some of those songs are on Vultures too, in the exact same form. Nothing was changed. Like, they sounded incomplete at the time where I was like, oh, this is about to be fire when you finish this. And it's in its same form from last December. So, like, what. It feels like y'all just decided to take some laughing gas and hit upload, like, from some from last year.
Mal
Like, you're passing the laughing gas around the room, and, like, everybody hit this, and then we gonna make some music. It's not a good idea.
Rory
I don't know, man.
Mal
I just don't know if he's a CIA agent. I'm not. I'm just. All I'm saying, Rory. I'm just not. Not going that far. I don't think he's an agent. Okay. I think that he's, you know, he's supplying drugs, but I don't think he's an agent.
Rory
I think you should talk to Biggs. I think he's been approached by some.
Mal
CIA agents for some other things.
Rory
No, not. No, not for that. I'm talking about when they had a full control.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
On a certain demographic. I think they threw some people in the mix that. That seemed like they were part of the culture.
Mal
Like they were from here. Okay, listen, man. It is what it is.
Damaris
Ma, what are you doing this weekend?
Mal
This weekend?
Damaris
Yeah. Can we finally go to the pool this weekend?
Mal
Right? Yeah.
Rory
Yeah. Hurricanes coming?
Mal
Yeah.
Damaris
Really?
Mal
Damn, Baby D. We could have went.
Rory
Boy.
Julian
Anyway, I was trying to go out with me, actually. Saturday would be your day.
Damaris
Yeah, it's nice. Saturday, 85, not too hot. That's hot as 85 is not that hot.
Mal
85 is nice. That's a nice day. Once you start hitting 93, it's like I'm in the house where I'm not let that sun go down. It's doing too much out there. But no plans. There was a movie, I think, that comes out this weekend that I said I wanted to see. It's like a romance comic. Like a rom com.
Damaris
Oh, that's your bag. You're a rom com guy.
Rory
Friends with benefits, too.
Mal
No, I forgot the name of it, but it was a movie that I was like, that looks good, yo. And it's a movie I still haven't seen that I wanted to see. That's out. Oh, a Deadpool Wolverine. I wanted to.
Damaris
I want to see that, too. I love. I'm a.
Mal
You know, there might be a movie.
Julian
I still haven't seen. Inside out, too. That's my priority right now.
Mal
Isn't that like the animated.
Damaris
Yeah, they say it's for kids. That's not a kids movie.
Julian
That's an adult.
Damaris
It's an adult movie. I gotta go see it, too.
Rory
This isn't Jack Harlow. Hate. I refuse to see White Men Can't Jump, Too. But that trailer with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck's brother and Jack Harlow. That movie looks incredible.
Mal
It's called White Men Can't Jump Too.
Rory
No, he did that this Is his second film, the Instigators. It's not out yet. Just the trailer's out.
Damaris
It's a movie movie or like, straight to tv?
Rory
Movie, movie. It's Matt Damon, Casey Affleck.
Julian
It's on. It's Apple tv.
Rory
Yeah, they go around Boston robbing. You know, typical Boston movies that are always fire.
Damaris
Oh, Matt Damon, Boston. Yeah.
Rory
Jack Harlow's in it. And this is probably the biggest look I think Jack Harlow has gotten.
Julian
That's a great look.
Rory
This is better than Drake rapping at the Kentucky Turbine.
Julian
Oh, look at him in charact.
Rory
You have a. A major role with. With Casey Affleck and Matt Damon. Like, you're robbing banks with them.
Damaris
That's huge.
Julian
Yeah, they're right outside Fenway.
Rory
Yeah. I can't wait to see this movie.
Damaris
That's huge.
Julian
That looks great. Voicemails.
Rory
Sure.
Mal
Let's do it. You've got mail.
Julian
Okay. Oh, fun one. We have a follow up. Remember the gentleman that saw his ex's current boyfriend in the cutoff shirt? Remember?
Mal
Yes.
Julian
Okay. He called back and gave us an update.
Caller
What's good, y'all? This buddy from the other day tell you about his ex giving his shirt to her new boyfriend? First things first. I don't think it's weird for me sizing somebody up. Like, when I say I sized them up, I'm not saying, like, I walked up to him, looked him up and down, and went like. I'm saying, like, you know, I feel like I size up almost any. Any guy I meet. Not in, like, no type of way. Like I'm trying to fight him, but in some type of way. Like, hey, I tell myself, if goes left, am I able to handle this dude? So I. I feel like if anybody.
Rory
Does anything like that, that's how you walk around life.
Mal
If goes left, can I handle this?
Damaris
He gotta be. He's short.
Mal
What?
Damaris
He's short.
Rory
I'm not mad at that.
Julian
That's actually not a bad theory.
Rory
Yeah, I can see.
Damaris
Not sure. Sure.
Julian
Target or five'nine Costco.
Rory
So you go into Costco and just sizing up everyone. Like, yo, if it go down in produce.
Mal
No, but.
Rory
No, you're just gonna go shop.
Mal
No, but he saw that. That was his. His ex's.
Rory
I know, but he said he does that every night.
Julian
He's saying, I don't think it's weird that I did that because I do that with everybody.
Rory
He walks around the world sizing up every man he comes.
Julian
Like when Mark Wahlberg said, if I was on the flight 911 wouldn't happen.
Rory
Which is true.
Julian
I sized up everybody on that Flight.
Rory
93, which is a fact, though.
Mal
But you don't never get on a plane and be like. Like, I'll knock this out right here. If he start tripping.
Rory
Is he Muslim?
Damaris
Rory, Maybe.
Rory
I'm making sure he's. I'm okay with what?
Mal
Okay, all right, maybe.
Rory
Why do you think that?
Mal
No, I'm saying you never just saw somebody that got on the flight and you, like, he look a little sketch. Like, if he start tripping, I'll knock him.
Damaris
I do that on the subway a lot.
Mal
You have to. New York is a simulation. You have to walk out as soon as you walk out your door. You got to hear that ready fight. Like, you gotta hear that as you get to the sub. You gotta be prepared for anything when you walk outside.
Rory
I do that on the train all the time because I think I have a fair shot. I'm kind of pessimistic with planes. Like, if this guy gets up and does some shit, yeah, I could take him down, but we're still in a tube going 500 miles an hour in the sky. Like, what, I can't land the plane?
Mal
No, but you just got to keep him from where? You got to keep him from getting into the cockpit. Pause.
Rory
Yeah, I guess that's it.
Mal
You ain't gotta just keep him from getting in that cockpit.
Julian
The pause.
Damaris
Or knocking a window out.
Mal
Yeah, knock a window. As long as I got my seatbelt.
Julian
I was gonna say, if it's a JetBlue flight or United, the windows will knock themselves out.
Rory
True.
Mal
Well, they gotta check the windows. That's the problem. Nobody's checking the windows.
Julian
Roll them down.
Rory
I mean, I just think you're on a flight regardless.
Mal
Yeah, but I ain't going out like that. Fuck that. I'm going out kicking and screaming. Fuck that. I ain't about to just sit in my seat and watch niggas hijack a flight.
Rory
No, of course not. Because I would want, like, at least some thrill before I die.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Like, let me. Let me. Let me live in this. This dramatic movie right before I die.
Julian
Be a papa gummy.
Rory
I want to be in this thriller.
Mal
I just feel like for some reason, if I'm on a flight and somebody starts, like, if a hijack is, like, for whatever reason, God forbid, just starts to go down, I think the first voice I would hear is probably, like, Chuck Norris.
Damaris
I'm sorry.
Julian
Like, your inner monologue would be like, yeah, Mall.
Mal
It's up to you to yeah, like, now. Now's the time.
Julian
Now multi.
Damaris
You've been training for this your whole life.
Mal
You've been waiting for this moment your whole life. Do it.
Julian
I just think, I haven't been waiting for this your whole life.
Mal
And then as soon as one of the hijackers punch me in my face and my nose starts stinging, it's like, plan has to. Now I gotta fucking remix my plan. Like, now I'm looking at the dude next to me like, yo, help. Yeah, nigga, get up. Like, we all about to die.
Julian
I'm gonna be honest. Where you'll be, where you would be seated on the plane would be. So let's look at the company that's often in first class, Rich. It'd be you against no one else. It'd be a bunch of old white men and women, designer beaten off in designer.
Mal
So if it's designed to jacking off while the flight is getting hiji and.
Rory
Designer against terrorists, the way Jordan Belfort would not die sober, there's no way I'm not dying to get enough.
Mal
Yo, Magic, yo. The flight get hijacked. You look at first class in designers, Jack.
Rory
Imagine that's the distraction that stops you from hijacking. Like, is he beating off, yo, to.
Julian
Have the mental fortitude to get hard and come while a hijack is happening, that's like, Zen. How do you lock in that hard?
Mal
How you that horny? Like, nobody ain't asking the right question.
Julian
You have, like, third three minutes to beat off.
Mal
Respect, yo, we're going down.
Rory
Like, what the respect to the Heroes on United 93. But it's not funny to y'all that it never happened. I'm here. I'm trying to say, oh, it was Osama bin Laden. So the story that we're going with, can you imagine putting together that whole intricate plan to hijack all those planes and you forgot about the coffee pots? Like, that took us down.
Julian
It's awfully hot.
Rory
Like, imagine you're hijacking a plane and then you get hit with. Because that's how they did it on United 93.
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Imagine you flying the plane, everything going to a T. Twin Towers is done. You. They hit the Pentagon, your man's in them. Now it's your turn. And you behind the wheel, and coffee hits you in the face, and you go, I forgot about boiling water.
Damaris
The sent me.
Rory
Why didn't we think about the boiling water? None of this, Yo, I went to flight school for a year to figure out how to do this. We forgot about the coffee yeah, but.
Julian
They don't drink coffee. Isn't that against their religion? Maybe they just didn't. Maybe they overlooked it because it's not something that they abide by.
Mal
Yeah, they didn't calculate that.
Julian
They didn't calculate the.
Rory
They calculated a plane at a degree.
Damaris
That we haven't done important.
Rory
But they forgot about the coffee.
Julian
They said coffee pots and fire extinguishers were the weapons used.
Mal
That makes sense.
Damaris
That makes sense.
Julian
Oh, yeah, we gotta the voicemail.
Damaris
Peach, what was the voicemail?
Rory
Oh, yeah, go ahead.
Julian
Oh, yeah. Back to this hero.
Caller
You're weird, but whatever. And I found it funny how Damaris interpreted me seeing my ex's boyfriend in my clothes for me wanting to get back with her. I don't know. Kind of weird to me. Might be projecting. I'm in therapy right now, so. You might be projected. I don't know.
Mal
And another thing, baby.
Damaris
Why go to therapy and suddenly they therapizing everybody the else but themselves? You just sat up here and said that. You walk around sizing up. You stressed out calling into a podcast because your ex new was walking around with your shirt on. But I'm the that need therapy and I'm projecting Damaris.
Rory
You're not mad at him. You're mad at your father.
Julian
You ain't even.
Mal
You ain't even know how you did that. You're trauma dumping, right? Yeah.
Damaris
Oh, okay.
Rory
You're not mad at him at the decisions your family made?
Mal
Yeah.
Rory
Yeah. You should have been protected.
Mal
I dumped a whole lot of the.
Julian
Big box of trauma.
Mal
Yeah, that. That trauma. That trauma that's headed downstairs in those pipes.
Rory
Eight inches and thick.
Mal
Yeah. Hey, what you a wild.
Rory
Yo, Great job.
Mal
Joke. Let's. Let's.
Julian
The guy I. I wanted that. Mine is joke. It's that video of the guy in.
Rory
The beach when he trauma dumps on those girls.
Julian
My daughter killed himself, but she ran the faster mile than me.
Rory
She was like, yeah, like, I just like scrawny guys. He was like 8 inches and thick. Like.
Damaris
That was actually really good, bro. That's a good joke.
Rory
It's cool, man.
Mal
It just was crazy to just yell out 8 inches in thick. Like, I don't think it was crazy.
Rory
That he yelled it.
Mal
Yeah, yeah, like, you know he was crazy when he yelled it, but you yelling it in this room was even crazier. Like, what? All right, cool.
Rory
Greatest trauma dump of all time.
Mal
Oh, yeah.
Rory
Just play it then we'll get back.
Julian
To the Voice real quick. Hello.
Mal
Y'all like bodybuilders?
Damaris
Bodybuilders I like skinny, scrawny guys.

Rory

Julian

Rory
Yo, that girl handled that way better than I think any of us would. I would have sat there in disbelief.
Damaris
I would have ran for a dump like that.
Mal
He said, I lost my wife 10 weeks ago. 20 years married or something like that. Did he? Then he said, I lost my daughter 3 weeks ago and she ran a.
Julian
6 minute mile faster than me at age 12. What is that guy?
Mal
What are you talking about? Like, what the fuck?
Rory
I want to make sure he's okay.
Julian
He's eight inches in thick, though.
Mal
The greatest voicemail in history, Pete.
Julian
This is the greatest voicemail. Keep calling back.
Caller
I thought you would have resonated with.
Rory
Me like, like, damn, baby D. I.
Caller
Really thought you would have resonated with me because if, correct me if I'm wrong, you was also on here getting mad at your ex for wearing a.
Mal
Sweater on a date. I'm like, damn, I thought you would have done this. He ate.
Julian
He ate. No crumbs on the sweater.
Rory
He ran that six minute mile.
Julian
Keep playing.
Rory
I don't know why this is funny, but it's funny because, because he didn't eat. He made no valid points in any of this.
Damaris
Thank you, best friend.
Mal
N. He ate.
Rory
Y hating.
Mal
Y hating.
Rory
He ate it.
Mal
He said, yo, baby D. I thought you would recognize like what I'm. Where I'm coming from because correct me if I'm wrong. He led with correct me if he wrong.
Damaris
But he only knows that because when we did that voicemail, I brought that up as an example.
Mal
Yeah. So he just saying like, okay, so you can, you could resonate with his story.
Damaris
I can resonate with his story for sure.
Mal
That's all he's saying. That's what I'm saying. He ate.
Damaris
No, but that was his ex from like 12, 15 years ago.
Mal

Rory
I don't understand.
Caller
He said it already. The marriage we some real so you know what's understood don't got to be said. You feel me?
Mal
Feel me?

Only person I feel like that would have felt some type of way is Julian. And that's cuz he's gay, right?

Damaris
He ate. Shoot.

Julian
Thank you for that voice, I hope. Yeah. Find another.
Mal
Go get your shirt back and then call us back.
Julian
Get the shirt back.
Mal
Yeah, get your shirt and call us back.
Julian
Should we do a real one? Let's get some real advice.
Damaris
Get them back in blood.
Rory
Get your shirt back. It's crazy.
Mal
Yeah, get your shirt back. Yeah.
Damaris
You know who took your shit from you? Go get it back in blood, right, bitch?
Mal
That's.
Damaris
That's the song. That's the song.
Mal
Nah, but you. Nah, but you. You. You tried to eat. Cause he ate first. Don't do that. Don't do that. You tried to eat back dinner now. Yeah, like the trying to eat.
Damaris
We can go to dinner. I won't give none of your other I won't give none of my new. Your shirts.
Rory
But to go back to the original voicemail, I'm definitely confronting the person that has my shirt.
Damaris
You're not doing that. Five years after, bro. You're not doing that.
Rory
Yo, you guys think I'd pass up the opportunity at Costco when I see my shirt on to be like, yo, that's my shirt. You wouldn't just be like a thousand percent doing that, homie. I'm not. No. I'm not trying to fight nobody.
Damaris
I don't know you.
Rory
It wouldn't be. It wouldn't be. I wouldn't confront him on some fighting. But if you don't think I'd walk up and go, yo, that's my shirt.
Julian
You wouldn't just be like, nice shirt. Like, as a joke, you would literally say, no, that's my shirt.
Rory
Yes.
Damaris
If he doesn't know you, that's mad weird.
Rory
You're wearing my shirt. That's weird.
Damaris
Okay, but he doesn't know you or probably know that it's your shirt.
Rory
Okay, well, let me put you on game.
Damaris
That's my daughter.
Rory
Runs a six, man.
Damaris
I'm not gonna hold you. He would be well within his rights to knock you the out if you did that.
Rory
Yo, that's my shirt.
Damaris
You're a stranger. You're walking into me. Yo, that's my shirt. The. You mean this your shirt?
Julian
It's mine. I'm wearing it. It.
Damaris
So then what? You what? How are you going to explain that you know that that's your shirt?
Julian
Explain eight inches.
Rory
You're saying that I would approach it the way people went on the train. What size shoe are you? I wouldn't approach it that way. I would say, you're wearing my shirt. That's my football.
Mal
And then. And then if he says, what do you mean this is your shirt?
Damaris
Then what you gonna say, I would.
Julian
I would queue up. Queue up a photo of you in the shirt. So when you say that to him and he goes, what do you mean?
Rory
Show him photos of yourself in shirts.
Mal
But if it's with that particular shirt on as well.
Julian
But what if, you know, like one of his old Instagram posts, he's wearing the shirt or like there's old photos of him in the shirt, I would just say, here's the evidence.
Rory
Okay, I'll. I'll redo it. You played on this football team and you were number 34 in 2008?
Julian
No.
Rory
So was I.
Julian
He said he retired it. Remember? He said no one else has worn that number.
Rory
They don't retire jerseys in five years.
Damaris
He's a liar.
Julian
He's him though.
Rory
They didn't retire Kobe's number in five years. They retired his high school.
Mal
All right?
Damaris
He was like. Because I was kind of crazy. Okay, okay, baby, let man, listen, I need y'all to stop calling into these voicemails and lying. I know y'all got a real life embarrassing going on. Stop lying on these voicemails.
Rory
50 of lives don't make you a liar.
Damaris
No, 49 don't make you a liar. That's the number I stay at. But 50 makes you a liar.
Rory
Yeah. Cool.
Julian
Wow. Next voicemail.
Mal
Hey guys, what's up? So it's always from la. I saw you guys. They only up five for like this game.
Julian
It's crazy.
Rory
The LA show last year.
Mal
I'm hoping you guys can come by again.
Rory
Shout out to Rory. Shout out to mall baby D and Julian.
Mal
Really love you too.
Rory
Anyways, so this question just goes out.
Mal
To each of you. I am a teacher going into her fourth year teaching. I teach math at the high school cover up. And I'm just wondering, how do you find that good work life balance? This summer I started going to the gym, hanging out with my friends more.
Rory
And I want to keep that up, but I know that it's a bit hard because I'll be working from 8:40 to 3:40.
Mal
So just let me know and give.
Rory
Me some encouraging words.
Mal
Please.
Rory
Have a great day and thanks for helping me get through the week.
Julian
I like as. Let me get this out the way. Former teacher here.
Rory
Cocaine?
Julian
No, just on the weekends. I. I think being on schedule, like having that regimented of a schedule with teaching. Because when I was teaching I had to go way deep on the south side. I wake up at 4. I had to be building by like 6, 6:30. And then I. By the time I get Home, it'd be like six, seven at night. So I pretty much wasted my whole day. But being on that schedule made me really like particular and stick to like a hard regimen. So like when I would go to the. I would wake up, it's so early, before the sun came out. I'd have a gym routine post, like teaching. There wasn't too much social life for me during the work week. But it sounds like you're on a much healthier schedule in terms of like timing and stuff. Just. Just bake it into your schedule. Like make those things a part of your weekly routine. That's I kind of the one thing I do. I miss a few things about teaching. But one particularly for my personal life was how much I knew exactly where I would be at this time on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, throughout the week. It was really healthy for me in terms of my sleep schedule and workout schedule. So just fit into those friend moments, like in between those as well. That's my advice.
Damaris
And also, good job. However early you need to wake up, wake up an hour earlier than you think you need to wake up. Like get the gym out of the way first. I always tell people, if you can get the gym out of the way first. Yeah, like do more wake up early so that that's done. Like you don't have to think about it. You're not too tired after work to keep it up. And then after work, get your off plan a day with your friends. Like have one day a week that you set to spend like time with your friends and stuff like that. It's good. You just have to plan your time and you have to stick to that plan. And if you've fly off the handle.
Julian
And if you have other friends that are teachers, you guys are probably on a similar schedule. That's kind of n. Because you guys are done with work a little earlier than everybody else. Yeah, than most people. So you can use, you know, that time if you have, you know, friends in the building or in the district or whatever that also in the school system use that time too. And I know you got a grade, do lesson plans, all that stuff, but you can get a lot of other stuff done too.
Mal
Thank you for that, Julian. As far as a teacher and having a schedule, it's very important to have a schedule and a routine.
Rory
I've been back in the gym, but I think I should leave because Dylan Baker out benched me the other day.
Julian
Who the hell is that?
Rory
Throw it up. You guys know he is.
Mal
I have no idea who am I really?
Rory
You're gonna see his face and go, how did he out bench?
Julian
Rory, what are you throwing up these days?
Rory
He said, yo, can I work in on your set? And then added more weight.
Julian
Damn. He called you to your face. He's 64. You got out bench. But he's from Syracuse, gang. You got out bench by 64.
Rory
I was like, y. I, I love your work. Great actor.
Julian
He be throwing up weight, though.
Mal
That's not.
Rory
That's some weird guy. You follow.
Julian
Shut up.
Mal
Yo, Julian never searches the right things. Nobody don't know. Why is it in the top? Why is it you never look at the search?
Julian
Why is it right next to Dylan? It's in the middle.
Rory
Clearly done.
Mal
Like, what do you mean his face is cut off? What are you talking about? You thought that. You think that's his body or traps? It says Dylan Baker on Instagram. Yeah, he's the only Dylan Baker in the world.
Julian
What are you benching these days, Rory?
Rory
Listen, I don't want to talk about it. Because Dylan Baker's output.
Mal
Yeah, whatever he does is not enough to do.
Rory
Yo. You know when someone like, yo, can I work in with you? And you don't really look at them. And then when he got on the bench and started throwing up, I was like, oh, I love his movies.
Mal
Yeah, yeah. You noticed who it was immediately. Oh, man. All right, what are we doing this weekend? Nothing. No plans.
Damaris
New music's coming out.
Mal
New music.
Damaris
Lotto's dropping. I'm excited.
Mal
Shout out to Lotto. Shout out. Also while we're here, before we close out, the guy responsible for the murder and untimely death of PNB Rock has been found guilty of murder. He's been accused of sending his 17 year old son. Son to rob and kill PNB. But he has been found guilty of murder. Now, the guy, the. The 17 year old who's probably 18 or 19 now.
Damaris
He's not. He's 19. He's not. They saying he's not fit to stand trial.
Mal
So the 19 year old is not fit to stand trial. The guy who actually pulled the trigger?
Damaris
Yes.
Mal
But his father. Because his father sent him on a mission. He has been found.
Damaris
Yes.
Julian
So how does that work? What happens to the guy that shot him? The kid? Kid.
Damaris
Well, he has to stay.
Julian
He's not a kid anymore.
Damaris
He has to. Obviously he has his own charges that he has to 19 year olds or so kids, but he has his own. His own charges that he has to deal with.
Rory
Bury that guy under the jail. You send your son into roscoe's to get a chain for you. He ends up killing PNB Rock. Y'all get arrested and you roll over on your own son and say, he stole my car and did this by himself.
Mal
Piece of.
Rory
That's the biggest piece of. Outside of what happened with PNB Rock. Piece of.
Mal
