That was pretty good. Sound like Edith Bunker.

[Maul]

I'm sick, too.

[Rory]

So, speaking of the Simpsons, I would love a new season. So I know what's going to happen with the future. They're batting a thousand.

[Julian]

Oh, no. They. They. They cooking up.

[Rory]

They. They need to let us know what's going to happen so I can feel better. Especially after this week. Everything's up in the air. Well, I'm glad you said need to guide us.

[Julian]

It's been a couple days since we've seen each other. How you feeling? You know, election night happened.

[Rory]

I.

[Julian]

Since we've seen each other, we've. We've had election night.

[Rory]

I see.

[Julian]

I know who the 47th president. Well, I knew who the 47th president was going to be with. Of course, now you. You guys know, before we get into.

[Rory]

It, I did see a tweet that said Biden should step down this month to make Kamala the 47th President just so it could ruin all of Trump's merch.

[Damaris]

That's funny as hell.

[Rory]

So he ends up having to be the 48th president.

[Julian]

Still trying to keep. Still trying to throw salt on Donnie's reputation. Right.

[Rory]

Still we're trying to throw salt on his reputation. Us.

[Damaris]

We're not getting into that.

[Julian]

Yeah. Can y'all say congrats or no? Y'all don't. Y'all still salty you didn't vote? No, I'm saying. I'm saying Congrats. To the 47 president. Oh, everybody else did. Who's Obama? Did Obama. Did you know?

[Maul]

They didn't say congrats. They said, well, we're going to honor a peaceful transfer of power.

[Julian]

That's not what he said. He said, congratulations to Donald Trump on the 47th becoming the 47th president.

[Rory]

Kamala called him and said, congrats. That's how it. I don't know if you guys remember. That's how it used to go.

[Maul]

Yeah. Congrats.

[Rory]

That's what happened all the time. Like John McCain, he congratulated. It still goes like that now. It does.

[Maul]

Trump didn't show up.

[Rory]

We skipped. We skipped a year at, like, the.

[Maul]

The classic White House, like the. The former presidents that's on his way out, always invites the incoming president to the House, gives him a tour, does the whole, like, walk around.

[Julian]

Yeah. Are you talking about when they stole it? Yeah. No, I wouldn't have win either.

[Damaris]

So why. When Trump wins, it's not stolen, but whenever a Democrat wins, we stole it.

[Julian]

That's not. Whenever a Democrat just. It was just last year. It's not whenever a Democrat.

[Rory]

They drained the swamp this year, and everything was a. Okay.

[Julian]

This year.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Oh, not yet. You is out of here January 6th, though.

[Rory]

I mean, that is a fact.

[Julian]

Yeah. Who. Whoever ain't supposed to be all of his voters.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Julian]

They're out of here. Time to go.

[Rory]

Well, as. As someone in the middle that leans left. I want to go see the Capitol.

[Julian]

Why not?

[Rory]

I want to go touch the. We the people, Doc.

[Julian]

Yeah, you should.

[Rory]

I think we should do it, man.

[Julian]

Go to D.C. yeah.

[Maul]

When?

[Rory]

I mean, it was. It was totally fine. Inauguration in 2020 or 2021, whatever the fuck it was.

[Julian]

Yeah, we should.

[Maul]

That's the privilege of being white. Let's go check it out.

[Julian]

Yeah, let's go see what they're doing on the lawn.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

All right. Jim, you want to jones outside this.

[Maul]

What's all going on out here?

[Julian]

What are y'all doing over here? Having a little party?

[Rory]

No, I'm jealous that the right got to get, like, their own tour of the Capitol building. I want my own tour on my own terms.

[Julian]

Like, you want to be able to just go in any room.

[Rory]

I want to make Nancy Pelosi feel uncomfortable, scared for her life. Like, why can't I do that?

[Maul]

Put your feet on her desk.

[Rory]

I want to wear horns and paint my face.

[Julian]

Yeah, you should do it. We got the horns right here. Go down to D.C. i'll go.

[Rory]

Me and the other 20 million people that didn't vote this time.

[Julian]

Yeah. Well, either way, we now know that Donald Trump is the President elect. 47th President elect of the United States of America. And election night on social media was absolutely one of the most entertaining nights I think we've had in a long time on social media.

[Rory]

It typically is. No matter what president it's been, it's always been. Whether it was Facebook to, to X, it's always nuts on election night.

[Julian]

I think going back for what I can remember, maybe when Obama ran in 08 was the first time, I think social media was probably entertaining.

[Rory]

Yes, yes.

[Maul]

Some of my favorite tweets, even about this election, were referring to that time. And they were like, damn, Obama would have had this. Obama won so fast. We'd be in the club before 11:00.

[Julian]

Like, it was like.

[Maul]

It was just like, oh.

[Rory]

I started to think about that. It was my freshman year of college when Obama was elected. The first time. The first time I voted. We were out on the boulevard celebrating by like, 10:00pm yeah, we were all outside. I cried, like, immediately.

[Julian]

I cried during that.

[Damaris]

I cried too, because I couldn't believe it.

[Julian]

I couldn't believe it.

[Maul]

Yeah. Against Romney, Obama put up 332 electoral votes to 206. He smoked him. I mean, but with Romney and then the.

[Julian]

That wasn't fair.

[Rory]

That was a cleanup as far as Obama and McCain. Yes, in retrospect, it was. He mopped him easy, but it was still like, all right, a black man's running for president. We're not quite sure.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And then by 9:30, it was like, oh, what were we worried about?

[Julian]

He's gonna win. Me and Jesse Jackson was crying the same way.

[Rory]

I never thought I'd ever say this, but damn, I wish we could get someone like John McCain to run in this era. It's crazy how we hated so many people on the right. Like, McCain looked like the craziest candidate ever. Now I'm looking back like, damn, that'd be a great guy.

[Maul]

Kane was a great guy.

[Rory]

God damn, I missed a John McCain type.

[Julian]

Nah, I still don't. I still don't like the way y'all did. My man Bernie Sanders, though.

[Damaris]

Yo, that.

[Julian]

I don't like the way y'all did Bernie. I still feel me and Bernie got spin the block. I don't like the way y'all did.

[Maul]

They stole it from him.

[Rory]

I agree.

[Damaris]

I don't even listen to when. When people who are hard Democrats start talking. I'd be like, well, where was. I was campaigning for Bernie Sanders. Like, I was out on the front.

[Julian]

I did Bernie dirty.

[Rory]

I was feeling the bur.

[Julian]

But then he won. He won. What did he win the other night? He got elected as something.

[Maul]

Well, he's still holding his seat in Vermont.

[Julian]

Got it. Okay.

[Maul]

Well, that's my problem. One of my many problems with the Democratic party is they scream and profess their love for the democratic process, but then in our faces don't honor it when it matters to what they ultimately want to happen. So in this case, like Kamala just getting pretty much handed the candidacy for this election. And then when Bernie was the clear favorite, not even by voter's sake, by the donor sake, they just pushed him out and chose Biden.

[Julian]

Yeah, they did Bernie wrong.

[Damaris]

Bernie was too far.

[Maul]

They did him wrong. Bernie was. He would have won.

[Damaris]

Bernie was a Democratic socialist almost. So he was a little bit too far left. And Bernie wouldn't have played ball. They didn't.

[Rory]

Why I, like Bernie is the reason why I don't think he would have won. Like, even if you go back to the Hillary and Trump election, had you put Bernie there, I think he would have lost. Like, if you're going to look to win, Hillary would have been the right pick. If you're not using hindsight. And Biden as well. Yeah, like, didn't Biden. He was probably like the last person to announce he was running for president. I feel like he did in South Carolina or some shit. And then all the polls completely shifted in one day.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So you saw who the people liked. I get it. I like Bernie Sanders better. But I don't know if he would win in this climate. Well, we easily picked apart by the media as far as being social communist. That's going to ruin the entire world for sure.

[Julian]

Well, I was looking forward to coming in here today because I wanted to. I know, hear from. I wanted to hear from the women. And you know, they've been vocal on social media. They're blaming black men for this loss. We didn't go out and support a black woman. See, that's misogynistic.

[Damaris]

You see your timeline, the way your timeline is configurated. Everybody on my timeline is over here and on. Across all social platforms because the numbers came out. Black men did what they had to do. Black men who wanted Kamala to be president. They did what they had to do.

[Julian]

No, but you do. But you do see the, the, the women online blaming.

[Damaris]

They see. No, they're not blaming them for losing. What they are seeing is some. The black. The few black men that did vote against Kamala, they're on their ass, but they're not saying they're the reason for the loss.

[Julian]

Everyone is saying, why are they on their ass, though? Like, it wasn't close. They lost the House, the Senate. Everything went Republican. Like, it wasn't.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I know.

[Julian]

I agree. It wasn't even close. Like, so why are people even mad at any particular race or creed, like, or gender? Like, she got beat in every way possible. It was not close. And I told y'all this last week. We didn't air it, but I told you, I said, yo, this is not gonna even be close. Yeah, I told y'all that. I said this is not gonna be close. I don't care what celebrities go out there and endorse Kamala. People don't care about that no more.

[Damaris]

So you were asking, you wanted to know how the women felt.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

So, Julian, how did they feel?

[Maul]

Am I. I've been tweeting a little bit.

[Rory]

First of all, Trump is now president, so there's no. Transgenders don't exist anymore. Pronouns don't exist anymore. Yeah, all of that is dead.

[Julian]

Andrew Tate said he's moving back to America. He said, thank God men can't get pregnant anymore. They was going crazy. I'm like, yo, social media is going crazy.

[Maul]

Yeah. I mean, it's clear white women and Latino men and women are lost this election for the. If you're speaking from the. From the Democrats side and 5% of.

[Rory]

The country isn't defining what happened on election night.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I don't think it was black men's fault.

[Maul]

Yeah, that's a ridiculous statement.

[Damaris]

Nobody.

[Maul]

The black men I believe in last election voted. I think it was 21 or 20, 21% for Trump. That plus two he picked up this go around meant absolutely nothing to the grand scheme of the election. Total votes.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I mean, the Democrats have just run a shitty campaign. Kamala was never the right person. Biden should have announced he was not going to rerun over a year ago. They should have held a real primary and upheld the democratic process. And I still believe if they put a straight white man in the position against Trump, he would have won. So you think spoon fed is this narrative that Kamala was the person that she never was and put her out there to fucking get smoked. They made her look like I'm not.

[Rory]

If you feel like if they put a straight white man there, he would have beat. You think Gavin Newsom would have beat.

[Maul]

If not beat it would have had a better shot.

[Rory]

Definitely a better shot.

[Julian]

Don't get me wrong, that's a different statement. Different statement.

[Maul]

It would have been far more compelling.

[Rory]

Trump would have beat Gavin Newsom.

[Maul]

I mean, and there's no statistic measure that Kamala gained that Biden that did better than Biden. She didn't outrun Biden in any electoral county and any vote metric. She got smoked across the board.

[Julian]

Yeah, that's what I'm so to say.

[Maul]

That, well, this is the true sign that the country's racist. The country's dad, the country. Yet some. True. There's some validity to those things, but you're not looking at what the candidate, what the party did to get to that point. I think Democrats fuck this whole thing up.

[Julian]

That's what I want to speak to. I don't. It's not. Yes. Do we feel like America is racist? Yes, we do. That's. We don't have to. We know that. But I think more importantists too. Let's not forget that misogynist, a bunch of other is and teas and shit like that. But I think more importantly, I think this election proved that the people are not just going for anything anymore. I think information is too available. I think that people know better. I think the last four years under this administration, a lot of people that voted for Biden, Harris before, a lot of them spoke out this time and said, I don't really like the way they handle these last four years. We're gonna go a different way this year. And a lot of people are saying they feel like the Democratic Party needs to come more to the center now. So I think a lot of those things are true. It is good to see, you know, people be vocal about wanting to see change and then going out and voting differently because, I mean, people are fed up. A lot of people can't afford groceries, can't pay their mortgages, can't pay their rent, inflation. We know all of these things because we live in America. So we obviously feel a lot of these things as well. But I am glad that people went out and voted and decided, like, we need to just see something different. We may not be a fan of the other side. We may not be a fan of all of their policies, but we need something to change. And I think America spoke about that and voted clearly.

[Maul]

Yeah. The problem with, I mean, there's so many. But one of the problems with the Democratic Party is they keep isolating themselves from the voting majority. So there's this graphic I saw that was circulating a lot after the election, and it was an overlay of the Most educated parts of the country versus where, you know, education ranks versus where the votes were coming from, whether it was Democratic voters versus, you know, uneducated voters, which were usually in the red states. And it's like posting this, especially as a woman, doesn't help the case because the Democrats used to be the working class, blue collar party. Posting like this just keeps calling the people dumb and it keeps separating yourselves from the majority of America. The problem is you don't need a fucking education to vote. Anyone can vote. So stop alienating or an id. Yeah, you don't need shit. So you're alienating yourself from more than half the country and you're like, well, at least I have a bachelor's degree and live in Williamsburg. Well, now you don't have the rights to what happens with your fucking body. Like, is that really a fair trade off? Would you rather get the support from the people that are a lot more closer and akin to you than just alienating yourself as a coastal elite? It's fucking. It's so ass backwards. When we were younger, when I was a kid, like John Kerry, all the Democrats that I grew up seeing and supporting were the blue collar ass dudes. That is lost as a Democrat. Now there are no blue collar people representing the Democrats.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I mean, as far as the right goes, there isn't either. But at least they pretend.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

At least somehow the poster child for New York billionaire now is a down to earth relatable guy to the factory workers of Michigan. Like.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Because they focused and listened to what people had to say.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I mean, I appreciate and applaud the Democrats for running on certain social issues like Roe v. Wade. Transgender issues. I think they just found out that most of America cares more about what they're paying for groceries than transgender bathrooms in 2024.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

Yes. I believe in transgender rights. I can be honest and say when I go to the grocery store, transgender people are not in my mind.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

That's not something that is at the top of my list as an average American whatsoever. I think it's important. Sure. As far as Roe v. Wade, I think that's super important. But to the rest of the country, okay, we can get to that. Oh, and this side saying, the states will decide. We'll get to that after. Can we figure out how we can stop inflation?

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

Democrats completely ignored that. Even when you saw Biden, when He did that 60 Minutes interview and they were asking about Ukraine, he's like, we're America. Like, we'll never run out of Money. It was the most arrogant fuck you to the American people I've ever seen. Like, I was actually, you know, hard it is to offend me. That offended me. Like, we're. Whoever interviewed him was like, president Biden, come on, we are running out of money. Like, inflation's crazy. Look at the national debt. Why do you keep sending billions to Ukraine? He's like, we're America. Yeah, that's fine. We'll just print more. We're good. Yeah, fuck you to the average person.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And the right takes that and goes, well, we'll fix it. They don't give a real reason, but at least they're saying this is going to be our main priority.

[Maul]

They just said the right things a lot. I mean, there was. Kamala went over seven in the swing states.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

You can't point the finger at those seven states and say, well, they're all racist and stupid. That's not how it works. Do, like a real self reflection. Find out why you lost. And there's another thing. I was speaking to a lot of people that worked very closely on her campaign and in the Democratic Party, they were all convinced that she was going to take the rust belt and the blue wave, which would be Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, which she lost all of those states. So it's like, okay, where's the disconnect between the reality of the country and where they're at versus what you guys are convincing yourselves is the vision of America that you think it is? Because then you look at, like, cnn, msnbc, like AP News and all these publications, and they're like, the glass ceiling's been shattered. It's a woman's time. The time is now. When there's no data to support that. These are just journalists saying things that they want to be true. But there's no validity to those statements. And there's. The hardest evidence is just the voting panel like this. It could not be more wrong than what you guys have been saying for.

[Rory]

Months and even, like, on the marketing side, because of course, the Biden administration, rightfully so, gets an awful rap for what they did in the last four years. But they did do some good things. They were just terrible at telling us about them. Like back to that interview of, oh, it's America. We can just print money. Okay, Kamala and Joe, why is inflation so crazy? And why can't you fix it if you're saying it's okay to send money everywhere else instead of fixing what's going on here? Oh, we'll fix it. All right. Well, how Then they ask Kamala when she starts running, is there anything you would change with the Biden administration last four years? No. What?

[Maul]

Yeah, I think Ma likes it because we're being very critical. I think Democratic Party.

[Julian]

I'm just. It's shit. I've been. But.

[Rory]

But at that point. At that point. Bite the bullet. Obviously, we heard that there was some tension between Kamala and Joe Biden when that whole split happened. At that point, who really gives a fuck about your relationship? I'm not saying throw him under the bus, but if you're answering questions as you wouldn't change anything. Joe Biden did awful. Why the fuck should I vote for you then?

[Maul]

What an awful thing to say.

[Rory]

Bite the bullet and say, hey, we screwed up here, here, here, and here. Are now going to fix it by doing this, this, this, and this. I think an average American could respect a new plan in saying, yo, we up here. Because Trump up a bunch. He's. He actually. Which I hate to give him a compliment. Did take some accountability when they asked him, yo, in your first year, you put this many people in that ended up getting fired or doing the. The wrong job. You said you were going to drain the swamp and then filled the swamp with all the Wall street people. Said, I up. I didn't know what the I was doing. I was on the fly. I know what I'm doing now. I would never hire someone like that again.

[Maul]

And even when.

[Rory]

And even when he doesn't even.

[Maul]

He'll point to the people that he'll just take someone to blame, be the fall guy and be like, it's his fault I fired him.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Like, at least he can do that, right?

[Rory]

At least he's a piece of shit.

[Maul]

But is explaining something like Kamala. To Rory's point, she had the perfect opportunity if she just clearly asked if she would do it. And by saying no, I support every move Biden made, then you're retroactively just saying, this is going to be another four years of what we just done. You can't say anything to change my opinion on that because you would do nothing different than what we just saw. And I will say, I have so much that I would like to say, but I'll just try to keep it. I'll end it with, if you think Kamala is the best candidate for the Democratic Party in 2028, you are sadly mistaken.

[Julian]

I think she should never run again. I don't think she'll ever run again.

[Maul]

She should not run the next election because then you will be doing the Same thing. The same mistakes will be made again. The country. It's not. The country's not ready for that. For who she is physically is. They're not ready for her in the current state of the Democratic Party.

[Rory]

The current state, because they're women. But she is the Democratic Sarah Palin. During the campaign, A star is born. Sarah Palin was going to be the face of the Republican Party. After that, once they lost, everyone was like, all right, she could talk on Fox News every now and then, but get her the fuck out of here.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

I think that's what's going to happen with Kamala, too. Well, she was a star, but now we see that the star doesn't. Doesn't sell tickets.

[Julian]

But after sitting here, hearing you gentlemen and lady.

[Damaris]

You didn't hear me. You asked about the woman's opinion and then never listened to the woman.

[Rory]

I was just sitting here.

[Julian]

Sorry. Go ahead. Go ahead, baby D. Tell me how you feel. Please tell me how you felt election night.

[Damaris]

It's fine. Julian cooked. He did a great job.

[Julian]

No, but how did you feel as a black woman?

[Damaris]

I agree with all of the critiques for both parties. When Kamala got. When they propped Kamala up and said that this is the new face, I was very critical of Kamala. I've always been very critical of Kamala. I think a lot of people rant or just a lot of people thought that because she was the anti Trump, it was like, oh, well, it's just we can't get Trump back in office, so we're gonna, like, uphold this person. But it's like, now that the election is over, neither of these candidates. I want to be my partner.

[Julian]

I think that was her.

[Rory]

Yo, he's a bad guy.

[Julian]

And I think that was her biggest mistake.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Every time she spoke and they asked her something, she would then deflect to what Donald Trump did or what he said. And it's like, we don't even know who you are. And that was. And that's all I was trying to tell y'all. Leading up to it. I was like, people don't even know who this lady. Yes, she was vice president. But just last year, this time, we all sat here and joked and was like, we haven't seen Kamala since she said, we did it.

[Maul]

Joe, exactly when did this is. I'll ask the room this question.

[Julian]

Literally last summer, we sat. Laughed about it, like, what is she doing?

[Rory]

And we talked about. Well before. We were like, all right, Biden probably won't run again. This is before he Announced. And we were discussing how fucked the Democratic Party was. Who is next in line? We never even brought up Kamala like, that we ever even have the Democratic Party. We were like, Gavin Newsom, maybe they have. The Democrats have no one behind them. This is going to be fucking weird.

[Damaris]

And it's very tough because as a woman, no, I did not want Trump to become president. Full transparency. I went to vote. I wasn't able to vote because of some moving that I did, and I didn't have the correct paperwork.

[Julian]

Oh, then they suppressed your vote because.

[Damaris]

I moved to Jersey. So I wasn't able to vote in this election. I was going to vote for Kamala, but I wasn't happy about that. I was not. This. This whole entire election has been very, like, tear at the seams, because it's like, I'm not happy to have to vote for this person because I do not believe that this person or this party has my best interests at heart. I don't. I know Trump doesn't. Right. But I also don't think that this person does either. So it's tough. So it's like, am I voting as a black person? As. Am I voting as a poor person? Am I voting as a woman? Like, it's. It was. It was very, very difficult there. I do see a lot of the emotions that black women and little black girls are having. And, you know, no matter who the candidate is, it. We always would like to see one of us in the White House. Granted, people always bring up the fact that Kamala's Indian and Kamala presents as a black woman.

[Julian]

But what does that mean? Presents.

[Damaris]

Presents as a. If a cop pulled her over, he would think that she was black. If you saw her at a cookout, you would think that she was black. You might think she was mixed with something she presents as a black woman. So y'all can bring up Indian all y'all want to.

[Julian]

Well, you know, that was a big thing online that I was reading on social media. A lot of people were saying the people spoke out and voted out because they felt like she was cosplaying a black woman. That was. That's a real thing online. And I think that that did affect the election is that people felt like, okay, if she is this black woman, which is fine. We don't care who she is. I don't think y'all would have to tell us that. Actually, like, Obama didn't have to tell us he was a black man.

[Damaris]

Yes, he did.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Trump.

[Rory]

Trump, actually.

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Rory]

He forced him to show his Birth certificate.

[Julian]

Birth certificate and where you were born and what you are is two different things. Obama did not think he. I mean, Trump did not think Obama was a black man. He was questioning when he thought he.

[Rory]

Was a radical Muslim when he.

[Damaris]

Then when he was questioning when he was born. The Muslims and all types of.

[Julian]

Yeah, but we knew that was a black man now questioning where he was born and whether it's Hawaii. What? That's a different. I'm not touching that. I'm talking about. We never once questioned, yo, is this dude a black dude right here?

[Damaris]

Well, that's because Obama always came out as always said that he was black. Kamala always had the Indian and black mixed end. And she's very proud of her Indian heritage, which she should be.

[Julian]

Absolutely.

[Damaris]

But people try to disc. Like, that's why when the whole cosplay thing and was. I'm like, I see Kamala do a lot of code switching.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I don't exactly name that as cosplay. It's not like Kamala grew up and went to all white boarding school. Like, she's not Olivia Pope. She didn't go to all white boarding schools and then came down and was like, hey, niggers, vote for me.

[Julian]

Like, y'all.

[Damaris]

My.

[Julian]

All that, baby. As a woman that know how to cook, do you believe that she had wash greens in the bathtub?

[Damaris]

That's.

[Julian]

I'm just asking you as you know how to cook.

[Damaris]

Hold on.

[Julian]

You cook for a lot of people.

[Damaris]

This is also my thing. Kamala was raised by an Indian woman. I don't know. I don't know what.

[Julian]

They don't even eat collard greens.

[Damaris]

I don't.

[Julian]

You don't.

[Damaris]

Everybody eats collard greens. They might.

[Julian]

Indians, they don't cook collard greens.

[Damaris]

Collard greens is a greens, a leafy green.

[Julian]

All I promise you. No. Ok. That's not part of the. They don't do that.

[Rory]

Where I will disagree with you on the Kamala Indian black thing. I completely disagree that that affected the election whatsoever. I think this election proved that all that flutter and bullshit did not matter at all.

[Julian]

Celebrity endorsements don't matter anymore.

[Rory]

All the tricks, everything on both sides that they did did not matter at all. I really think Trump swept up because most of America cared about the shit he was actually running on, all the tricks and all that. Kamala cosplaying black. Is she black? This and that. I don't think that mattered at all. When it came down to somebody going in that voting booth. I think this election showed that those. Those Trickery, smoke and mirror shit does not work at times like this.

[Julian]

I told you that. That was another conversation we had, and we can close out soon. I told you that. I said I think a lot of people publicly would endorse Kamala. Right. And I feel like going back to the Beyonce thing, I feel like Beyonce was almost back against the wall. She had to support Kamala because it looks away if you support the first black male president and endorse him, but then the first black female president, you don't support and endorse her. I think it looks away Beyonce. But I think when it's time to get in that booth, a lot of people that publicly endorse Kamala and supported her publicly, I don't think they hit that. Hit that switch for her inside that. That. That. That poll. I don't think they did.

[Rory]

That's what's really, like, unfortunate about America and black Americans. I mean, if there's a long list of unfortunate things there. But why should Beyonce have to be forced to support.

[Julian]

I agree with you, black woman.

[Rory]

It looks away if she's a black woman. If she doesn't align with what Beyonce.

[Julian]

It looks. It looks the way she fucked up.

[Rory]

It's fucked up because that only would happen with minorities, for sure. You don't look at Dolly Parton like, why isn't she supporting Hillary Clinton, the white woman?

[Julian]

Like, you're right.

[Rory]

That would never happen.

[Julian]

Right. But that's why I say what I say. Us as black culture, hip hop, you know, our culture. We need to stay out of politics, stay out of it when, I mean.

[Rory]

Passionate about it, and really align with.

[Julian]

Even if you are. Don't. Don't support.

[Rory]

No, I think killer vote for who you want to vote for should definitely be within politics. And I would look to him for that type of stuff. He also just happens to be a rapper.

[Julian]

No. Well, Killer Mike should run locally in Georgia.

[Rory]

Oh, I. I mean, I agree there. I'm saying as far as a rapper.

[Julian]

But don't come out and tell me who to vote for.

[Rory]

Political party.

[Julian]

Yeah, but don't come out and tell me who to vote for. We need to keep that. That's. That needs to be your business, your choice. We don't have to. We don't have to get on stage and support these politicians, because when you start digging through their policies and what they've done, a lot of your fans will start looking at you some type of way like, oh, you support that?

[Rory]

I mean, I just think kind of crazy. I think Democrats just need to do the, the long look in the mirror. Because outside of just Trump winning, Republicans cleaned up like in every. That's saying something. I think more than Trump beating.

[Julian]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

Of what the Democrats are doing and how out of touch they are. Even like I hate I have to give more compliments to the right. Fox News and the right wing got CNN off their square. I am someone that will admit, yes, Fox is 1000% biased right wing liars. The rest of the media for the most part is 1000% leftist biased liars.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And everyone is saying, why can't we get a major news network to be in the middle and tell the truth? That's what fox is saying. CNN's dumb ass got off their square and was like, okay, let's snitch on Kamala. Why is she running pro Israel ads in Pennsylvania but then in Michigan, which has a high, high, high percentage of Muslims is running a pro Palestine.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

And CNN got off their square to try to do some real journalism, thinking they were doing something with integrity. And then Fox went, we'll never snitch on Trump.

[Maul]

Yeah, of course.

[Rory]

Like I applaud CNN for doing the right thing.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But don't, don't get pressured by the other side. That's not going to do the same thing.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

They're not going to call Trump out on his shit or any, any type of hypocritical stuff or ever double speaking cnn. I get it. Just stay your biased lefty shit because you fucked your own candidate when the other side wasn't being honest.

[Julian]

Right.

[Maul]

Last question for the room about this election. When did you guys know that it was over? When the electoral college was coming in. And I'll say I knew when New Jersey came in, which was one of the earlier states because Biden won New Jersey by 14 points. Historically Democrat state, it goes without saying, always votes blue. Kamala won by five points. I saw that five. And I was like, that's really bad. Yeah, that's a very severe drop off from four years ago. And then obviously what proceeded didn't surprise me. But that was the first sign for me where I was like, this isn't going to go the way that people.

[Julian]

At least the left Virginia surprised me.

[Maul]

The people thought it was going to go. You thought that the win for her.

[Julian]

When, when Trump won Virginia, I was.

[Maul]

Like, oh, Kamala won Virginia.

[Julian]

Did she?

[Damaris]

It was Georgia from when Georgia, when she lost Georgia, I went to bed.

[Rory]

It wasn't once Georgia was gone.

[Maul]

It was, it was close. But she won narrowly. Oh, well, yeah, it was like, about five points.

[Rory]

But also, like, with the Biden Trump election, you have to remember Biden didn't have the stigma that he has now. People were pretty much thinking this is just an extension of the Obamas.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, it was a drastically different vibe when Biden first ran. I think. I think if Biden wasn't, like, about to die. Sorry. And was somewhat coherent and ran against Trump, I think the numbers would be very similar to what Kamala did, just based off the four years that he was in charge.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

He didn't have a stigma when he. The first time he ran.

[Maul]

He won off.

[Rory]

It was a safe.

[Maul]

He won off the fumes of Obama.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Maul]

Like, that's how good Obama was.

[Rory]

Obama to Trump. Holy Covid. And then we're like, let's try to restore order. Let's get the guy that sat next to Obama not really knowing what he was about to do.

[Julian]

I just, you know, I just don't. I don't want to be I told you so guy.

[Maul]

But first of all, you're not. Don't say I told you so. We all said. At least I know I said, I said Trump was going to win.

[Damaris]

Yeah, he did.

[Maul]

I've been saying Trump is going to win. And I did vote for Kamala. And to what Damaris said, I didn't. I don't care for her either, but I'm choosing her because of the better that comes with a vote for her. But I knew Trump was going to win. I've been saying that. The day he got shot, I said, there goes the election.

[Rory]

I think we all walked in.

[Maul]

It's on my Twitter somewhere.

[Rory]

Well, we can wrap this one up.

[Maul]

Sadly. Sadly, him getting shot had nothing to do with him winning.

[Rory]

Nothing.

[Julian]

Nothing.

[Maul]

But I still stand on. He was going to win the whole time.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I just, I. Yeah, just. I think they just underestimated just how much people don't care about these trans issues. You talking about just how much people don't care about these women issues. Like, we just need to be honest if. I know people are saying that it doesn't matter that she was black and a woman is just. She wasn't the better candidate. She wasn't the better candidate.

[Julian]

Right.

[Damaris]

But also, if you are going to be black and be a woman, you have to, like, really, like, be on your shit. Like, you can't have. You can't. Half ass. You can't.

[Julian]

Something I don't understand. That's something I don't understand about y'all. On one hand, y'all say, y'all know she's not the better candidate, but y'all still vote for her because, as when.

[Damaris]

I say candidate, I mean in the show business of things, right. As far as the issues that I care about, her candidacy would be better for me, especially being that we're about to have a Republican president with a Republican Senate, a Republican Congress, and a Republican fucking Supreme Court. So, yeah, yes, that would be better for me. But it didn't. It didn't work out like that.

[Rory]

Even though she wasn't vocal about it and did not market it well, she did run on stuff that I appreciated. Like, I liked her playing for small businesses. I liked her plan. Obviously, with the Roe v. Wade stuff she had, I liked her housing plan. Of course, I'm too stupid to go through her entire financial plan. And I'm not saying every Goldman Sachs expert is who we should be listening to. That was kind of like when she said, hey, Dick Cheney's on my side. I was like, don't say that out loud. When she said. When she said. When she said, Goldman Sachs loves my financial plan, I was like, I don't know if it's a good thing.

[Julian]

Should have kept that to yourself. Yeah, say that with your inside voice.

[Rory]

She did run on things. She was just too quiet about them because she was too busy screaming, trump is a bad person and trans people. Yay. Please just tell me what the fuck you're going to do.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

And she had that. She just didn't market it. Well, I don't have to want to go to your website every day to get your policies when you're speaking and doing interviews, right?

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Julian]

I mean, some. Some good news is friend of the show. Yeah. Jason Lee.

[Rory]

Congratulations.

[Julian]

Congratulations, Jason. Jason Lee has been elected councilman of Stockton District 6 in California, where he.

[Rory]

Was born and raised.

[Julian]

Yes.

[Rory]

So I know he cares a lot about. I've been following because he's been, you know, looking to go into politics for a couple years now. And I stop and listen to most Jason Lee interviews because as you think it would be gossipy, as of the past few years, it hasn't been.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

He had a great Breakfast Club interview that was specifically about running for city Council. I know a passionate. He is about it, what he wants to do with his hometown. So congrats, man.

[Julian]

I think that's.

[Rory]

That's amazing.

[Maul]

He also beat a woman.

[Julian]

Oh, man.

[Damaris]

In the race. He beat a woman in the race.

[Rory]

Oh, I didn't even connect.

[Maul]

Oh, well, come on. Yeah.

[Rory]

My brain didn't even go there.

[Julian]

I mean, if you know, Jason Lee, he might throw hands on.

[Maul]

He, he won 56.

[Rory]

Now.

[Julian]

But that's dope, man. Shout out to Jason Lee because he has always been very vocal about bringing change to his community and where he's from in California. So for him to be elected council, city councilman is, is dope and you.

[Rory]

Know, always respected him as a businessman. But you know, I'm, I've always been kind of critical of like super gossipy stuff. But yeah, what he's built to then transition into something that is super important. I think there's a lot of redemption in that. I think it's great.

[Julian]

So shout out Jason Lee, man.

[Rory]

Love that. What else was happening over this this week? Everyone was just dead quiet, I feel like for the last three days.

[Damaris]

Well, not Kai, so. Not because he's been doing Mafia.

[Rory]

He has no choice.

[Damaris]

Yeah, well, yeah, he's 30 days. What is it called? Mafia.

[Maul]

Mafia Town or something like that?

[Damaris]

Yeah, something like that. Well, did you, have you guys seen his ad with Kim Kardashian?

[Rory]

I did, yeah.

[Damaris]

It was really good.

[Rory]

Right here I am giving compliments to so many people I didn't think I would give compliments to. Kim's really a good actress.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like anytime she does commercials or sketches.

[Maul]

She'S funny and she was.

[Rory]

She's not a bad actress.

[Maul]

Horrible. In American Horror Stories, I didn't see that.

[Damaris]

It could have just been the right, you know, because American Horror Story has been falling off. But I like Kim. Kim knows her, she knows what her strengths are and she plays to them. And I think that's dope. Her linking up with Kai, I think that was dope for him to get that. I'm very happy for him. But he's currently doing Mafia Thon where he's streaming 24 7. When he's asleep he has the fucking spider dude. He has the black NPC Spider man in Pinky Doll doing while he's sleep like in the bed. So it's just like because he has to sleep. It's a 24 hour stream.

[Rory]

It's for 30 days.

[Maul]

For 30 days.

[Damaris]

30 days. But he has cameras all over his like compound.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

So everywhere. He is so like cool. I don't know. He's been going on with younger streamers and like getting his audience like to give them money and stuff like that.

[Maul]

It's love it bombing or something like that.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I fucking love it.

[Rory]

I hope he takes a vacation though after the 30 days. Like can't get a camera off.

[Maul]

Gotta film it and go chill.

[Julian]

You gotta Film the vacation. Yeah.

[Rory]

So he's not getting cheeks for. For 30 days though, right?

[Damaris]

No, he definitely can't.

[Maul]

You gotta clap.

[Damaris]

He has stand ins. He has stand ins.

[Maul]

Stand it. You gotta double.

[Rory]

There's no camera.

[Julian]

I think is. You think his cameras in one of those bedrooms that he going in one of those bedrooms.

[Maul]

40 rooms.

[Julian]

He's got one of those rooms. They got no cameras. He going in there for sure.

[Rory]

The only fans room.

[Maul]

He's brought a lot of guests on.

[Julian]

Yeah, they do.

[Maul]

They collapse. He's brought a lot of guests on the first one that was getting a lot of attention. Did you guys see Kodak just perked out of his mind.

[Rory]

I saw clips. I didn't watch the entire thing.

[Julian]

Yeah, I saw clips of the Kodak thing with Kodak. I'm at the point where I don't. Yeah, I just don't know. I don't know how much of it is Kodak is really. Obviously, yes, we do need to pray for Kodak and hope that he's fine. But I do. I do also feel like Kodak leans into a lot of this and be playing a lot of the times too.

[Damaris]

Baby. Kodak was high as a. I'm not.

[Julian]

Saying he wasn't, but I'm just saying a lot of the times I could see what Kodak is like. I know they think I'm this drugged out, you know, always out of my mind person, but I've seen a lot of these clips and I feel like Kodak is definitely leaning into a lot.

[Rory]

Of this as well, so.

[Julian]

Because I didn't see. No, they say he popped the perk right there. I didn't see nothing in his hand.

[Maul]

What are you talking about? He threw. You could see it thrown in the air.

[Rory]

Caught it like a skittle.

[Julian]

Weird.

[Maul]

You can see it pass across the TV on the way down.

[Rory]

Yeah, I can see it. I don't know if he caught it.

[Maul]

But yeah, he caught it.

[Julian]

Look.

[Rory]

Well, who knows if it was a perk but.

[Maul]

Well, that's the thing. Who's to say it was a part but like he's playing.

[Rory]

I'm kind of with ball but I think. I think it's both. I think he's playing into it while.

[Julian]

He'S definitely playing it.

[Maul]

That's the. I agree with that.

[Rory]

I think he's high and like leaning into like. All right, let me really be this hot guy.

[Julian]

Yeah, I know how I feel about Kodak. So I don't want to wake up and get any terrible news about Kodak. So if he is you know, strung out and you know, having in one of those places where he's just binging and things like that. Hopefully he gets some help, man. Cause I really, I really fuck with him.

[Damaris]

My question for you two is, with Kai's huge audience, which the majority of it is kids, does he now, even though he's a kid himself, but does he now have a responsibility to that audience to not show things like that, like Kodak Black High out of his mind on a stream with a bunch of kids.

[Julian]

All the kids do that shit too.

[Maul]

He's also said publicly a few times.

[Damaris]

All the kids don't do that.

[Julian]

How long whippets and all that shit. That's.

[Maul]

They said a few times he said, I don't make content for kids. I don't like that. Everyone says, you know, my content is for children. It's not. He's been pretty vocal about that too.

[Damaris]

That's like Cardi B and Megan saying, I don't make music for 25 year olds who like to twerk. Like, if they listen to it, fine, but that's not who I make music.

[Julian]

They would never say that.

[Damaris]

But exactly, that's. But that's like what the. He's saying, you know who your audience is. You have the analytics. You know who your audience.

[Maul]

Well, I think he did at one point share analytics. And it's like 18 to whatever that younger demo is. But it's. Those are technically, you know, I mean.

[Rory]

I think a large majority of his audiences in their 20s, probably. There's definitely 25 plus.

[Julian]

But the kids are on drugs. We know.

[Rory]

And I don't like. I, I feel you, Damaris, but is it really Kai's like responsibility at this point based off every rapper that the kids are listening to? Like, is it any different? It's no different.

[Julian]

It's no different from if Kodak is popping a perk on stream than if he's talking about popping a perk in his record. There's no difference.

[Damaris]

No, there's a.

[Julian]

That has nothing to do with Kai.

[Damaris]

There's a huge.

[Julian]

Well, no, it's not. That has nothing to do with Kai. It has nothing to do with Kai. Nothing at all.

[Rory]

And if Kai's content was. If he was constantly on stream popping perks, then I would agree with you. But this is like, what, 30 minutes out of the hundreds of thousands of hours that he streamed. Like, he's not a drug platform. It just so happens one rapper that pops perks happen to be on stream, like, hi. But that's not like his platform. What's. It's a once in a millionth time that someone did that. Like that's not his platform.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

But that all it, it's usually fun sleepovers.

[Damaris]

Like that's all it takes is okay. All right. That's you guys opinion. You're welcome.

[Rory]

No, I feel what you're saying. I just don't think his platform. I don't think the kids view Kai's platform as that type of platform. I think they view it as a positive platform, which I think it is. It's mostly positivity the entire time.

[Damaris]

Yeah, for sure. I just feel that if, you know, you have a lot of kids on your stream, you shouldn't have a rapper on there.

[Maul]

Trick shot and Perks was a nice catch.

[Rory]

I mean, you're, you're not wrong.

[Damaris]

Like I don't, I don't think.

[Rory]

No, no, you're not wrong. I get what you're saying, but I don't think we should put that on Kai because just a few minutes out of the hours and hours that he's done of positivity, somebody did, did a trick shot of Perks just off the.

[Julian]

Clips that they posted. These two need to do a movie together.

[Rory]

Kodak is hilarious.

[Julian]

You can't write Kai Kodak. That would be a crazy. That movie would be.

[Maul]

He's drinking a Capri sun, the man next to him is shirtless off a perk, just wilding out. They're having such different experiences in this room.

[Julian]

That's what I'm saying. This is a movie like I would sit there to watch.

[Maul]

But I do love Kai. I know after like Damaris alluded to it earlier, like the love bombing that he's been giving to streamers where all the donations are sending like, you know, hundreds of thousands of. To small streamers at least. And I've been seeing this being treated a lot. At least the Internet picked the right person to be famous. They picked a good guy, a really.

[Julian]

You know, positive Bronx legend.

[Maul]

Loving, just positive, like nice person to be in this position. But I don't know. Like I, I could go both ways if this is just who Kodak is like, but if I want, if he's my friend and I want to him on the stream, then what do you do? Like, I don't, I don't know.

[Rory]

And again, while I agree if you look at most of the famous streamers and how negative their message is and how like much pieces of they really are.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Especially during this campaign time which really showed their true colors, I don't think we should be giving Kai too much because Kodak Black happened to pop up.

[Damaris]

You know, and I don't want anybody. I don't want anybody.

[Rory]

Very, very few positive popular streamers that we have out there that is influencing kids in a good way.

[Maul]

Dana White just shouted out Aiden Ross at his acceptance speech at the. The whatever. Not the acceptance speech, the winning. When they came out and addressed the crowd. So there's that wing of it, too.

[Rory]

I saw a tweet. Let me see if I can quickly.

[Damaris]

You small Halle.

[Rory]

No. Well, we're gonna get to that in a second. Oh, this tweet is from friend of the show, Tim Hinshaw. Shout out to, like, one of the last great executives in the industry.

[Julian]

Shout out, Tim.

[Rory]

In regards to streamers, he had said when Dame started the culture vulture movement, we all understood what he meant, but we didn't support it like we should have. We are now seeing the consequences of that when guys like Aiden Ross can help influence election results off a platform built off the back of our culture. I feel him, because how Aiden really got popping is from hip hop culture.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

That put him over the hill as far as popularity and the rappers that he was aligning himself with and has clearly shown that he does not give a fuck about the culture.

[Julian]

That was one part of Trump's. Trump's speech the night of the election that I didn't. I was like. When he shouted at Aiden Ross, I was like, ah, I don't know how I feel about. I don't like that part.

[Maul]

He's the Post Malone of streamers.

[Rory]

Yeah, I think. I think he's even.

[Maul]

It's worse.

[Rory]

Not even in the same category. Post looks like Nas compared to him.

[Julian]

Post looking like Nas.

[Rory]

Post. Post looks like Lord Jamar compared to Ain Rose.

[Maul]

Ever seen him in the same room?

[Rory]

Yeah, but yeah, I mean, that's why I'm saying with the streamers, a lot of their true colors showed you saw used hip hop to get popular and where their, their real values lie. And it's not with the culture or black people whatsoever.

[Julian]

As podcasts worry. Though, obviously this election a lot of people are leaning towards the platform of podcasting having a. A great hand in this election. Example, the Joe Rogan interview with Donald Trump. People feel like that was a, a big turn of events because obviously Kamala decided that she wasn't going to travel to Joe Rogan to do it. And if he was going to travel to her, then she would have done it. How do you feel about that as a podcast? Like the fact that the platform of podcasting has been given, you know, a kind of a salutation in this election, like, thank you for using your platform and your voices.

[Rory]

I think it was the final end of the cycle of podcasting being respected. Like, we were early in podcasting and we remember when rappers were clowning us for having podcasts, and those same rappers now have podcasts. All the radio people were clowning the podcast and then went on, which saved their career. To podcast. That's now their job. We watched that entire thing happen. We discussed it. I think this was the. The final boss of podcasts being disrespected. Where Kamala's like, no, you fly to me. Like, yeah, the. I'm not going. Like, who do you think you are?

[Julian]

Who are you?

[Rory]

Like, yeah, you're not cnn, Fox, any. I'm not doing that. Yeah, I think. And granted, I'm sure she had a very busy schedule, and it's tough to just randomly fly to Austin, Texas, for three hours when you're running for president. I fully understand that. But that should be a priority. Long form content should be a priority for a presidential candidate, because that's when you actually get to know that person. Yeah, I mean, I barely got through the Trump one. It was a fucking snooze fest. And they talked about absolutely nothing. But I at least respected the platform. In a president being forced to talk for three hours, you can't really escape with your talking points at this point. You have to be yourself to some degree.

[Julian]

But that was part of the thing that people felt like she avoided it because she felt like it was going to expose her lack of plans and own ideas of what she wanted to do and things like that. So they felt like she avoided it because Joe Rogan was going to throw questions at her that she probably. I don't know how much control they would have asked for as far as editing and things like that. I know Trump. They let him air like Joe Rogan did whatever he want with the footage, whatever he wanted to keep or cut.

[Damaris]

But Joe was gonna. Joe was gonna bully Kamala, which he did.

[Rory]

Which I give.

[Julian]

You say bully? What you mean I have to give.

[Rory]

Him pushback for not giving Trump any pushback. I was actually, yeah, disappointed in Joe Rogan because I have seen him and we talked about this, what, two, three episodes ago. I've seen him give pushback on the topics that he understands and did none of that to Donald Trump. I thought that was kind of a wasted moment for how great Joe Rogan can be in those situations. I think, though, he would have definitely pushed back.

[Damaris]

And I think that was Kamala's thing. Like, I'm not flying out to you for you to bully me. And like, she knew that that was a losing. She should.

[Rory]

But again, at that, what was it two weeks before the election that Trump did that? And she would have done it maybe two or three days after. I think for the most part, people's minds were made up on who they were voting for. If anything, it would have helped her. I don't think it would have hurt.

[Maul]

I think it would help too. And I think.

[Rory]

I don't think anyone that wasn't going to vote for her would then be like, oh, no, fuck that. It could maybe get people to actually hear her ideas and get to know her. And so anyone in the middle may be like, all right, never mind, I might. I see what she's saying. This aligns with what I want. Yeah. I think it could only help her.

[Maul]

I don't think she's a prosecutor as well, so people, like, she would have gone out there and gotten attacked. I feel like Kamala was at her best when she was being challenged.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I think she did a really poor job on a lot of debate stages and interviews when people were just like, patting her on the back and like, coddling her. It's like, no, as someone that has a career of being a prosecutor, challenge me, make me, you know, explain myself and like, you know, verbally fight back. And I think she's good at that. She does. She's not. She doesn't get emotional. She sticks to her talking points and kind of can articulate very well, which I think would have boded well for her if. If Rogan were to take an angle to be more of a contrarian.

[Rory]

Yeah. And I mean, moving forward in the next four years, I feel like podcasts will be more and more prevalent within media, period. And I think it'll be part of a strategy. I. I think, quote, unquote, legacy media, as the right keeps calling it, is going to suffer. And I think both parties are going to need candidates that will be able to handle being on stream and long form talking.

[Julian]

I agree.

[Rory]

There is no commercial breaks at that radio station. No, let's. Let's talk about it, which I think is. Is very important. As a voter, I really want to get to know these people and hear what they have to say. I mean, Julie and I were talking about debates. I think that needs a complete restructure in how we do things. I think the American people should vote on what the biggest topics are. And each candidate should be forced to do at least three debates. And each debate is for one topic, because when it was even with Kamala and Trump, anytime they were about to even get to something. We're on a time crunch. Let's move on to the next subject. No, no. I want to hear what they have to say.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

All right. Let's just focus on Roe v. Wade for an hour and a half. Let's just focus on inflation. So instead of giving me your. Your routine of like, yeah, we're going to change it. We're going to do this. All right, next. Next subject.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

You are now forced to explain to me how you are going to change inflation.

[Julian]

You're going to detail. Don't give us everything. Obviously, you don't want to give away your plan for everything, but if that.

[Rory]

Can happen, then the only savior for that is podcasts.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Sit here for two hours, and I'm going to ask you questions, and you're going to be forced to really answer some.

[Maul]

Yeah, I love that idea. I think that would really be effective.

[Rory]

Yeah, but I mean, just don't bring your kids on stream and you're fine.

[Maul]

Yeah. Back to Kai.

[Damaris]

Kai is causing commotion.

[Rory]

Damaris.

[Julian]

This.

[Rory]

This is your lane.

[Damaris]

How is this my lane? You don't want kids.

[Rory]

Yeah, but you're. You're part of the. The Bailey tribe. What's. What's their standard?

[Damaris]

I am a supporter of the sisters, for sure. I don't think there's a Bailey tribe, but I am a supporter of Chloe.

[Rory]

And Halle for your Bailey gang.

[Damaris]

Well, Kai so not had ddg. And DDG on his live for his stream. And he bought the baby with him. The baby that, remember, that they hid. That she was pregnant with. They hid.

[Julian]

Why is DDG holding his son like a bag of ripped groceries, though?

[Rory]

Because they squirm.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

That's how men hold babies, though.

[Julian]

No, that's. That's how he hold his baby. Like, that's not how men.

[Rory]

Sometimes Amara just be bugged. I hold her just like this and walk around.

[Julian]

That's crazy.

[Damaris]

I've held Amara like a football, too. She likes it.

[Rory]

Yeah. She find she's a little superhero. I call her supermarket.

[Damaris]

But look at them. They said. They said.

[Julian]

What am I gonna say to a father that calls his daughter supermore? I can't say nothing.

[Rory]

So.

[Damaris]

It's very Kai. It's very cute. Kai bought groceries. I mean, not groceries, but Kai bought him gifts and things like that. But Hallie made a tweet.

[Maul]

Julian, you I can see it. Right? She said, hi, everyone. Just so you know, I'm out of town and don't approve of my baby being on stream tonight. I wasn't told or notified, and I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. I am his mother and protector and saddened that I was notified. Especially when I am out of town. I wasn't notified.

[Julian]

Sorry.

[Maul]

When I'm out.

[Julian]

I can understand that.

[Rory]

I can understand it. I. I just didn't know what to do with that information. When you tweeted. Yeah, I text your baby father. Okay. What do you want me to find Kai's address?

[Julian]

She text him, but she wanted to make it public as well. You want a public stream? Okay, I'm gonna make it a public post and let people know I'm not okay with my son being on that stream.

[Rory]

Okay. I get the side of, like, if you do something in public, I need a public apology and like that, but I think this is a drastically different scenario. It's not like he was talking about his baby mother on the stream.

[Julian]

No, no.

[Rory]

It was like she had a son on the.

[Julian]

She said yesterday. Maybe I did overreact and shouldn't have brought it here. I know that Halo is always safe with his dad. I just don't like finding out with the rest of the world what my baby is doing. Thank you, Kai, for the gifts for Halo. See, that makes sense.

[Rory]

Again, just let.

[Julian]

Just let. Let me know, like, y'all about to go on Kai's stream. I got Halo with me.

[Damaris]

She would have said no, though.

[Julian]

So that's why you shouldn't do it.

[Rory]

Okay, then I agree there.

[Julian]

That's exactly why you shouldn't do it, because you know the mother's gonna say no.

[Damaris]

What do you mean? Why would she say, you don't want.

[Julian]

Your kid on the porch?

[Damaris]

Why we don't know what Amara look like.

[Rory]

Because Keanu have an agreement that neither of us are going to post her on social media. I mean, they had people, my close friends see her.

[Damaris]

They had that agreement, too, and he broke it, and the baby went viral.

[Rory]

Okay, I don't know that. And I would never.

[Maul]

Which is a very funny.

[Rory]

I'm not in the group chat. They post their kid all the time. So when I. If I see their son on stream, I don't immediately think like, damn, this is breaking their claws. Like, we had never seen the kid ever. I would have been like, wow, it's kind of wild. The first time is on Kai's stream. She's not There. But we see their child all the time.

[Julian]

Yeah, but not made.

[Damaris]

But.

[Julian]

But again, posting your child if you know that the father or you are posting. Yeah. Then not knowing that your son is going to be on one of the most popular streamers stream tonight is two different things.

[Rory]

Well, I know it sounds weird, but I'm actually on her side even though it sounds like I'm not.

[Julian]

Yeah, you gotta be on and.

[Rory]

And I'm definitely empathetic to postpartum and, you know, mother being away from her child and the distress that I do like seeing your child on stream. Like, what the fuck?

[Julian]

But I do like the fact that she said, I know he's safe with his dad. I love the fact that she made sure she put that.

[Rory]

Which I think is important because I would feel away with that tweet. Like, all right, now you're letting the.

[Julian]

Entire world feel like I'm not be.

[Rory]

Able to take a shot at me about how I care for my child when we both know the case is that I will always make sure my son is safe.

[Julian]

That's why her putting that in. I respect that this did happen.

[Rory]

Like Kodak was there doing trick shots. Like.

[Damaris]

But. But see that's the tricky. That's another thing.

[Maul]

You never know.

[Damaris]

But see, that's another thing was on.

[Rory]

The other side of the camera turning.

[Julian]

On the screen and seeing Kodak balance your son like this. Like, it's like.

[Rory]

Like, yo, what's like a person?

[Julian]

Like, why is Kodak black balancing my son?

[Damaris]

But that's the thing. So before this happened, that was the clip that was going viral from Kai stream is fucking Kodak's highest fuck on this stream. And then I'm out of town and next thing I see is that my baby is in this same house on this same stream.

[Rory]

And to your point, and your question is, where's Kodak?

[Julian]

Is he still in the house?

[Rory]

And to your point, we just see Kai in like a basement and this looks like friends kicking it. She knows this is a full production and there's probably 40 fucking people in that house.

[Maul]

Yeah. And to Damaris's point about Kodak, the clip that was going viral even before the Kodak moment was. I would. They just got swatted.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Which, you know, is bad news. So to have a kid around where that could potentially happen is. Is not great.

[Damaris]

And it's just. You ain't even tell me, like, that's.

[Julian]

What it boils down to.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Like, that's all. I don't blame her. But for her to come out and Say, you know, maybe I did overreact. I know my son is safe with his dad, but, like, I don't like finding out what the fuck my baby is doing with the rest of the world.

[Maul]

Yeah, like. Like, seeing this in the room where your kid is, like, a day or two before is probably not a good. A good look for that. Doesn't make a mother feel safe.

[Rory]

And, you know, playing Monday.

[Julian]

Why would a cop inside the house.

[Maul]

The house got swatted.

[Julian]

What does that mean?

[Maul]

Just kicked in someone. So, like, someone will call and be like, hey, like, there is, you know, xyz, like, nefarious. This.

[Julian]

You gotta have a search. One. You can't just come to somebody's house.

[Rory]

I thought you meant that they found squatters.

[Maul]

No, no, no. I was like, SWAT being swatted is a real thing in, like, the streaming community. Yeah, they'll call.

[Rory]

Someone watching the stream will call.

[Maul]

They'll call in, like, a fake, like, murder or homicide or something. And then the SWAT team.

[Damaris]

Yeah, he got banned for. From Twitch for, like, I want to.

[Maul]

Say, like, what was it, like, five or six hours? They kicked him off even though it's obviously supposed to be 30 days. So he was outside on the phone with Twitch as, like, helicopters and policemen were raiding the house. And, like, it. He was having friends stream it from other streams. He was, like, trying to keep up with everything.

[Rory]

That's how Kai gets his news.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

He's like, what is going on?

[Damaris]

That is so, so funny.

[Rory]

That's up there with the J. Cole. His crib in North Carolina getting raided by SWAT because they thought he was selling drugs.

[Maul]

Like, more or less the same thing, which is nuts.

[Damaris]

That happened. I didn't know that happened.

[Rory]

Video out of this security.

[Julian]

They used the ring camera.

[Maul]

Thy neighbors think I'm selling dope. That's what that whole song is about.

[Damaris]

Oh, wow.

[Rory]

They used. It was like the studio house. And, you know, people would walk outside.

[Julian]

In and out driveway, cars coming and going in the neighborhood. You know, people like, all right, what's going on?

[Maul]

This is the don't put on the screen page. But this is the footage from the black from the raid.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

This would actually imagine you cold laying down some positive lyrics. And this.

[Maul]

This happens talking about your first time getting pussy. You rapping role models.

[Rory]

He was laying down his dirk verse.

[Julian]

Kicking in, kicking in. The door to J. Cole's crib is.

[Damaris]

That's wild. Mad candles and incense lit.

[Julian]

He's harmless.

[Rory]

Like, how bored. Now, listen, I understand. Well, I don't understand, but I do get if Someone calls in Kai's stream and is like, yo, there was a double murder in this house. There are gunshots, everything. They send swat. I get it. Cops can't take calls.

[Maul]

Like, they couldn't just open the door.

[Rory]

But if somebody next door to Cole's house, I think they're selling drugs. And you bring 20 SWAT members because you. Because a neighbor said, I think they may be selling narcotics. Yeah, come on, man.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Like, why am I get one.

[Rory]

One regular cop to knock and be like, hey, we got a call.

[Julian]

Yeah, don't knock my cameras down.

[Rory]

Yeah. Is that legal?

[Maul]

No, no. They discovered that there was cameras and beautiful for the concept of the music video.

[Julian]

Yeah, that was dope.

[Maul]

That's awesome.

[Damaris]

Insane. But, yeah, I don't. This streaming thing is how it's. I don't know.

[Julian]

Aren't you streaming now?

[Damaris]

You said what?

[Julian]

Don't you be playing FIFA? What game did the marriage say she was gonna start streaming?

[Rory]

You think Jamaris be on stream playing FIFA?

[Julian]

Don't you be streaming, baby D?

[Damaris]

No, I don't. I stream, but I don't stream playing video games. But I did say I wanted to stream playing Hogwarts Legacy.

[Julian]

Oh, Hogwarts. I thought you said FIFA.

[Maul]

Same thing.

[Julian]

Same thing. Hogwarts and FIFA. Same thing.

[Rory]

Have you ever been in a crib that got raided?

[Julian]

Raided? No.

[Rory]

Yeah, me either.

[Julian]

Definitely has been in a crib where the cops was outside the door, though. They didn't have a search warrant, so they couldn't come in.

[Rory]

I'm white and go to house parties that happen all the time.

[Julian]

Yeah. Not rated, though.

[Rory]

I had cops come to the Jersey crib we used to record in asking if there was, like, a small girl that was missing. And I was like, you have the wrong address. It was terrifying. They're like, can we look inside? I was like, of course. I forgot the name. And it was like, yeah, it's like a. She was like, 12 or 13 and was missing. And I was like, I think you have the wrong address. Like, can we take a look? I was like, go anywhere you want.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You're not knocking my door down for a kidnapping. And I. There's no one here. Take a look.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Were you in the house by yourself or was your family there?

[Rory]

I was by myself.

[Damaris]

Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

It was two cops in, like, social services or something. And I was like, maybe you have. There's an L where there shouldn't be. I won't say my address, but, yeah, maybe you for the L's there and take it out.

[Julian]

Well, speaking of speaking of police and cribs, TI was on video, went to go visit Young Thug. Upon young Thugs release and being. Being home.

[Rory]

Hope they made some music.

[Julian]

I think they. I think they're pretty. I think they definitely did make some music. I think it's dope though, to see just Thug back home and you know, in better spirits, man, because they was trying to send. They was trying to send him up the river. They was. They was trying to send him away for the long haul through the woods and oh my God, they was trying to pack him up. So, yeah, I'm guessing we're gonna have some music from T.I. young Thug. So, yeah.

[Rory]

Is he allowed to be around TI Mess?

[Julian]

Well, TI is not a. He's not a. I think the stipulation is he can't be around gang members like, so TI is not a.

[Rory]

He's not a gang member.

[Julian]

He's not a gang member.

[Rory]

He is a felon.

[Damaris]

I thought it was felons too, though, for probation.

[Julian]

Yeah, but with TI's thing, I don't know if that got expunged or is that the name of it? Expunged. Right.

[Maul]

Wouldn't it be crazy if this.

[Rory]

Because he did the commercial.

[Julian]

Exactly.

[Rory]

This is Tip. Let me tell you about another tip.

[Julian]

Yo, stop, stop.

[Rory]

What?

[Julian]

Tickets.

[Rory]

Does the commercial exist?

[Julian]

Tickets available now.

[Rory]

I'm not saying anything about TI except that I love his music.

[Julian]

New Rory.

[Rory]

But does the commercial exist?

[Julian]

We will be in Atlanta.

[Rory]

My name Tip.

[Julian]

Let me tell you about 22nd to get your tickets now. But yes, Rory, he did. He did have to listen, if that.

[Rory]

Means I only do one year in prison and part of my parole is to go do a Crime Stoppers commercial. Sign me the.

[Julian]

Listen, man, I'll do all those commercials in one day. How many commercials y'all need? I'm bring.

[Rory]

You want me to rhyme seven different outfits.

[Julian]

I'm bringing 12 different outfits. Barber. Barber is on deck. Like, let's get this done.

[Rory]

I had a full two bedroom apartment full of guns. What do you need me to do? I had every assault rifle you could find in the state of Georgia.

[Julian]

Well, Young Thug, also, it's been made public that one of his almost two million dollar watches is Richard Rich. Richard Mille. Richard Mille. Ricardo Watches was reported missing from his personal belongings. And then now fans have. Of course, you know, fans do. They've posted video of one of the officers on stand at the YSL trial and what appears Officer Johnson is his name. Okay, Officer Johnson appears to be wearing a Rashad Meal. So I don't know if that's the same one. I don't know exactly how much overtime this officer is working to afford this Rashad meal.

[Rory]

But either way, wearing that, even if that's not Thugs, just being a cop and wearing that to court is crazy.

[Julian]

This is all a movie, man. I keep telling you, this is not. None of this is real. All of this is a simulation.

[Rory]

I mean, he could say, oh, it's fake.

[Julian]

Yeah, yeah. He could be like, that's not real. But what if it's. What if it is Thug's watch, though?

[Rory]

Oh, my. My theory is in. Pardon my vladness. I think Thug gave him that watch, and that cop was able to get some things in for Thug and make his.

[Julian]

Make life a little easier, make his.

[Rory]

Experience behind the wall just a bit more pleasurable, Especially because he was in the longest trial in Georgia history, was back and forth from that court, the holding cell, to the bus. I think maybe he was like, yo, go into the back where my property.

[Julian]

Is, take that watch, take that, and just whatever I need, you got to bring it in here. Yeah, I could see that. I can see that.

[Rory]

Because they started out having his man try to pass him a perk in the courtroom, and I think Thug was like, we need to rethink this. I don't really care that much about that watch.

[Julian]

Nah.

[Rory]

But I care about perks way more.

[Julian]

If we go back to that clip of dude trying to handle whatever he was trying to hand him. I. I'm not snitching, but it's all. I don't think Thug knew, like, because he kind of tapped Thug when he walked up behind him, and Thug turned around like he didn't even know somebody was walking up on him.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

So if you look at it, it's. I don't think Thug was in on that.

[Rory]

Like, he didn't know, but he wasn't against it.

[Julian]

Wasn't against it. No, that's not it. That's not it. It's from at least a year and a half ago.

[Maul]

It was a while ago.

[Rory]

I think it was, like, the first week of the trial.

[Damaris]

Yo, my favorite Thug clip is when they was playing the music, and that was bopping in the corner hard.

[Julian]

That slapped. That's me. I'd have been like, yeah, that's those my balls.

[Damaris]

This. The trial was.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Julian]

Like, look. Look at this. Doug didn't know.

[Damaris]

I feel like he knew possibly.

[Maul]

He definitely. Oh, come on, bro.

[Rory]

He knew. He knew. That's cool, though.

[Damaris]

You don't just do some bold shit like that. Like, Walk up and bring it. That ain't no way.

[Rory]

And I think because they reported the watch stolen, correct?

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Doug went to go get his property. It wasn't there. I think Thug did the same thing. Rest in peace, Clark Kent. He told me this story that Big used to go around Brooklyn and just get bags of money for features and then would call Puff and be like, yo, don't clear that verse. And then he would just keep the money. Like the song would never come out. He would call Puff like, yo, if someone hits you about the verse. I just did. Because Big didn't have money yet. Like, he was stopped selling drugs and needed a way to provide. So he did that and would call Puff and be like, yo, don't clear that song. I think Thug gave that watch to that. That officer to make his time better and then told his lawyer, yo, report that shit missing. I want my watch back.

[Maul]

And if the watch is insured, I mean, he'll get his money.

[Rory]

Exactly.

[Maul]

He'll get his money twice over. Doug made money.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Got perks and a new Richard Millie. Yeah. I feel like insurance companies, though, may not cover when your property goes into prison.

[Julian]

No, insurance is insurance.

[Rory]

It doesn't matter where insurance will find. Anyway, that part is true. I feel like there's probably some. Something in the fine print that says if you get arrested and your shit gets stolen, man, Thug, I don't give.

[Julian]

A fuck about that watch. He's so happy to be home. That watch. Keep that. Keep all that that's in there.

[Rory]

I don't even want to know what time it is.

[Damaris]

Keep that right. That watch went home to Mariah the scientist. He happy. He good.

[Julian]

I know he is.

[Rory]

She's been quiet since he got up.

[Damaris]

Well, she ended up. No, she. She. She ended her tour. She's not on tour with.

[Rory]

I bet she did.

[Maul]

Yeah, sure she did. She canceled it.

[Damaris]

Yeah, her. She was supposed to. She had like five say.

[Rory]

Yo, my career and all those amazing.

[Julian]

Opportunities, I ain't got to pay no more bills.

[Maul]

I'm on an arena tour.

[Rory]

You think I want to be a working woman?

[Julian]

That tour them fans. I'm going to home. I'm going to sleep, man.

[Damaris]

So I'm. I'm very lover girl. Like, I would have left for my nigga too, but maybe missing two dates, I would have did the rest of it.

[Julian]

Man, you got Thug twisted. Thug ain't letting her leave that house. That nigga been locked up for three years.

[Rory]

She's the only non gang member he knows.

[Julian]

Yeah, that's the only Friend he got right now.

[Damaris]

But this is her career. She's been doing so. She's been doing so well.

[Julian]

Your man needs you. He been locked up for three years.

[Damaris]

So what? I mean, not so what, but, like, she has her career and her life still he. That it can't the wrong color or he going back to jail. So, like, you still need to have.

[Rory]

That's why you need your girl next to you.

[Julian]

But I need you there to, you.

[Rory]

Know, make sure I don't do some stupid.

[Julian]

Exactly.

[Damaris]

I, I, I listen, like I said, I'm love her girl down. Like, y'all wouldn't be able to pull me off.

[Julian]

Cause whenever call you like, yo, what you doing? Yo, I'm in the crib with wifey, you know, ain't pulling up. Yeah. It's like, all right, y'all holler at you later. If they see Mariah on tour, they know wifey ain't home. They just pulling up. Now, you stay away from with some.

[Rory]

Things that may violate your parole.

[Julian]

Yeah, stay away from me.

[Maul]

White.

[Julian]

Me and wifey in the crib. Y'all not coming over here.

[Rory]

And I mean, that does kind of suck, though, because Mariah the Scientist is not Thug's girlfriend. Like, she's an artist in her own right. Super talent, for sure. Matter of fact, I. I would love their version of 2088.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

A thug and Mariah Scientist album.

[Damaris]

Oh, the last text would have it on repeat.

[Julian]

You said the last text. What's that?

[Damaris]

They said Mariah the Scientist, Summer Walker. They make Lash Tech music.

[Maul]

What is.

[Julian]

Oh, oh, Lash Tech. I'm about to say. What is the last text that she sent?

[Damaris]

I mean that, too, but no last check.

[Rory]

Oh, I'm sure she sent a. A wild last.

[Julian]

That's the music that your last take be playing when y'all get your lashes in. Is Mariah Sciences.

[Damaris]

Mariah the Scientist, Summer Walker. Sza.

[Julian]

But I feel like those women will make y'all cry. Like, if y'all just laying there with your eyes closed listening to music.

[Rory]

It's a good point.

[Julian]

Like, are y'all allowed to cry while y'all getting your lashes done?

[Damaris]

We listen to it so much, we're numb to it.

[Julian]

Y'all just.

[Rory]

They live those times already.

[Julian]

Yeah, women are so interested. Like, we don't heard all that. We ain't crying no more.

[Rory]

Yeah, you don't cry when you hear we are the streets by the locks anymore, Rory.

[Julian]

I've never cried anymore. Anymore.

[Rory]

When recognized comes on, you don't like. It's not a little Bit.

[Julian]

No, I've never cried when I heard the last. No, never happened.

[Rory]

Speaking of recognized Prima Nas, I think are finally gonna put this album out.

[Julian]

Finally.

[Rory]

They put a good record out like six months ago or five months ago.

[Julian]

Define my name.

[Rory]

That was dope. But we've been hearing about this for. For a while now.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And we've been privy to hear some of it, but that was like six years ago, so I'm sure they've redone everything, but I mean, who doesn't want a Nas and Premiere album?

[Julian]

Yeah, I can't wait.

[Rory]

I hope we get it.

[Damaris]

You gonna send a beat?

[Rory]

Well, Gigi Premiere, like, makes beats and they're doing like a. That would be like me submitting a beat to King's disease. I think Hit boy has all that covered.

[Damaris]

I mean.

[Julian]

Yeah, safe.

[Damaris]

You miss every shot.

[Julian]

Safe to say no. That's like a shot that's not even like the gym ain't even.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm not invited to the gym.

[Julian]

Yeah, that's like.

[Rory]

No one's invited to the gym.

[Julian]

They got it.

[Rory]

It's a one on one.

[Julian]

Yeah, they got the music covered in that session.

[Rory]

But I mean, we've been wanting this for like 30 years, so.

[Julian]

People kill me online for my Snoop and Dr. Dre take.

[Damaris]

Good, good.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Maul]

They said somehow that was you.

[Rory]

Yeah, you should have. Even though I like with you, I. I think you should have been killed.

[Maul]

They said we were doing some OVO glazing because you don't want to hear from Snoop.

[Rory]

Wait, what does that have to do with ovo?

[Julian]

I hate the west coast me.

[Maul]

They said, you find any way to suck a dick that has to do with anything?

[Rory]

I like it. A fun way to call him a goof.

[Maul]

This is such a stupid angle.

[Julian]

People are stupid, man. I don't like the me. I don't like the West Coast. I hate la. Now all of a sudden, I mean.

[Rory]

Off mic, you were saying, why didn't Kendrick endorse Kamala? And we were like, whoa, relax.

[Julian]

Yeah, why didn't he?

[Rory]

What's funny is you didn't say that.

[Damaris]

Exact reason that you just said that Beyonce shouldn't have.

[Julian]

Okay, Kendrick is woke.

[Maul]

What are you saying?

[Rory]

The Streets are saying the only reason you didn't vote is because Drake couldn't.

[Maul]

They said you gave Drake your vote.

[Damaris]

Who?

[Julian]

Who in the street said that?

[Rory]

Me.

[Julian]

Okay, all right, cool.

[Damaris]

You got in the streets, though, so.

[Julian]

Nigga, the street said I didn't vote because Drake couldn't vote.

[Damaris]

What have y'all been listening to any Music.

[Rory]

Yeah. Gibbs album has been on repeat.

[Julian]

I'm listening to Stabbing shot, too, Benny and 38 special. Good project. I'm still listening to Case. Case Closed. Young Chris and and Rada, they love that project. Ransom put out a dope project.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Julian]

I love Ransom's new project. Westside Gun has a new. A new joint out and y'all was telling me. Oh, Damaris was telling about LMA's project. I didn't hear that. She put out a little three pack. I didn't listen to that yet, but I like. I like Ella May Kodak got a new joint out that I didn't hear yet either. Yeah, you haven't heard how I know? I just haven't.

[Rory]

I thought you had push notifications on for anything.

[Julian]

I just haven't. You know, I mean, you got to be in that. You got to be in that zone to really listen to the perk up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'm not throwing vitamin E or something like that. I'll throw up in the air.

[Rory]

Take that, Keanu lady. Put out an album, which I still have to get around to. I. I hate with my schedule.

[Julian]

That's so album of the year.

[Damaris]

Album of the year. R B album.

[Rory]

And we love Keanu Lade. So when I.

[Damaris]

When I tell you from top to bottom, no skip is better than the last one.

[Rory]

Okay?

[Damaris]

It's fucking amazing. It's such a lover girl album. There's heartbreak shit on there. It literally takes you from the beginning of a relationship. When you first meet a. You nervous about him all the way through Fall in Love to the breakup, to the. Damn, I'm gonna go back to this to, like, it's. It's. She told my whole relationship story in the album.

[Rory]

What. What is the accountability song? Or is that on the deluxe?

[Damaris]

Why. Why would there be accountability?

[Rory]

You said that whole part of the.

[Maul]

Relationship stop at track three. Rory, if there was a. Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

If it's about a whole relationship with a woman, yes, there would be no accountability song.

[Maul]

You can't.

[Rory]

Yeah, it would be everyone else's fault.

[Damaris]

Well, I mean, the accountability of. Damn, why do I keep going back to this nigga? She said, I gave you space and pussy. Like, I gave you space and pussy, and you were still ungrateful. I went from being your lover to being your homie. And even still, you're ungrateful.

[Rory]

Like, I mean, maybe take that. You're not something that should be graded. You think about it that way.

[Damaris]

Nah, actually.

[Rory]

Anyway, Earth gang, spill.

[Julian]

So you said. You said Keanu LA Day has album of the year.

[Damaris]

R B album of the year.

[Rory]

Leon Thomas's album.

[Julian]

That's a. Oh, that's you saying a lot if you say that.

[Rory]

As of now, I think I'll say.

[Damaris]

That the women will like Kiana's more than they will like Leon's. Leon's is good. It's amazing. But I feel like men, y'all hear male R B albums differently than women. So y'all will relate more.

[Julian]

Your content is different.

[Damaris]

Yeah, exactly. So of course y'all will like that one more. I think the women will like Kiana's better. That's just my personal opinion.

[Julian]

Lil Uzi vert put out an album.

[Maul]

I haven't heard it yet.

[Julian]

Eternal. Eternal Taki. Or is it a take a take?

[Maul]

You know, Eternal Take two. So the first one was very good and highly anticipated. This one, also highly anticipated. I. The online chatter has not been good.

[Rory]

Highly anticipated.

[Julian]

It was.

[Damaris]

I love highly anticipated because it was a surprise album.

[Julian]

But this what I was looking forward to. His next drop.

[Maul]

Yeah, no, they knew he was doing an internal take two. Like, that was always the thing. And Uzi's albums are incredible. I love Uzi, but I haven't heard. I haven't listened to it yet, but I haven't heard great things, which sucks.

[Rory]

Because I really love Uzi, which is same. Yeah, I figured that's because I'm out of touch.

[Julian]

Yeah, that Freddie Gibbs album is really good.

[Rory]

We say, can we have the Freddie convo?

[Julian]

Jesus, before you say it, Only if you gonna really. Only if you really gonna say what I think you're gonna say, say it.

[Maul]

Say, are you saying we said the.

[Rory]

Other day we can get to that? I want to start by saying that I think when we start talking catalogs of the new generation, I think Freddie is a candidate for top three, including y'all favorite over there. I think Freddie should be in that conversation. And as far as cattle and sorry for being unloyal, I did tweet back and forth with DJ Head about it of why Freddy doesn't get that look. Cause he does deserve to be in the conversation.

[Julian]

Why you said disloyal to who? Me? Yeah, I fuck with dj.

[Rory]

My bad. And. But I did it publicly. I wanted so you could see, like, so you.

[Julian]

That's my guy.

[Rory]

Why Freddie doesn't get that? Because, I mean, I think Freddie stopped caring about commercial appeal a long time ago. I think his issues with Jeezy stopped his major label push. That would have happened. And I think he made the. The right move in the direction that he went with his career, I think it was a smarter one for the long run. But with that we don't put him in the same category. As far as discography. No, I'm not saying big three shit because that requires hit records and you know, Billboard and all that. Yeah, but straight up catalog. Yes. I think he can compete with Cole. I think he can, can compete with Kendrick. Think he compete with Drake as far as rap catalogs? Just music stats. Yes, I know you'll get him the fuck out of here. I think when it comes to that underground shit, he is light gears above every underground artist. When it comes from discography, I don't think, especially since 2017, 18, just go look at his run from then until now.

[Julian]

I think Freddie Gibbs, each album could.

[Rory]

Be considered a classic.

[Julian]

Yeah, but he's in a. He's in a very unique situation because I think Freddie Gibbs raps so good that people overlook his catalog. Like his full bodies of work, obviously.

[Rory]

But the music is good too though.

[Julian]

That's what I'm saying. But because he raps so good, I think people just pay attention to that. Like his bars. But he puts together some really, really dope albums.

[Rory]

I came in here, of course, we always have to tie it back to Drake. I came in here feeling a bit of a hypocrite.

[Julian]

Me?

[Maul]

No, him.

[Rory]

You only die once. Freddie Gibbs, that just came out. The content of it is very similar to what I killed Drake for with his content for all the dogs. You're an adult and you're mainly talking about IG and I. I still can't figure out why I like Freddie Gibbs talking about that and don't like it when Drake talks about it now. So I'm feeling like a hypocrite and I don't know why I thought maybe we could work, work this out together.

[Julian]

Well, Drake has been on top of the charts and things like that for 15 years. He's a superstar. He should be. He should be used to Freddy's.

[Rory]

How old is Freddie?

[Julian]

I don't know.

[Rory]

Probably older than drake. Right?

[Maul]

He's 42.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And mind you, there's. It's not just talking about fucking IG the whole time. There's a lot of substance. I think he has found a way to talk about being 42 and IG and bring substance to it for all the dogs. I didn't feel like there was much substance around the models that he was flying in outside of. Damn, I can't believe this 22 year old IG model broke my heart. Never saw that coming.

[Julian]

You can never go to Toronto again.

[Rory]

But, Freddie. No, I'm. I'm apologizing because I killed Drake for the same exact content that I love on this Freddie Gibbs album.

[Julian]

Okay.

[Rory]

All he's talking about is being old and young. Yeah, it's just over beats. Maybe I prefer you like those.

[Julian]

Those samples more.

[Rory]

But no, I'm not going to get into if I think Freddie Gibbs is better than J. Cole. You guys are not going to bait me into that conversation. No, I have my personal preferences. Anytime I say my personal preferences, Peach cuts it up and the whole Internet fucking kills me.

[Julian]

Yeah. As you do.

[Rory]

I prefer Freddie Gibbs catalog at this point in my life. Yes. But that doesn't mean that Cole is not an elite fucking mc and the greatest ever. Cool. I just like Freddie Gibbs. It's such a bad thing.

[Julian]

You just said Cole's the greatest ever.

[Rory]

Sure.

[Julian]

Okay. Cliff is.

[Rory]

Whatever. Whatever y'all need.

[Julian]

Peach. Clip it.

[Rory]

Drop it in the same. In the same breath. I said I prefer Freddie Gibbs.

[Julian]

We don't clip that part. That.

[Damaris]

Yeah. You know, I.

[Rory]

But I will say in the last. If we were doing a last five year debate, I think it would be safe to put Freddie up. Up there as 1A, 1B for the best rapper of the last five years.

[Julian]

Wow.

[Rory]

I think Cole has been the best rapper this year.

[Julian]

He didn't. What? All right, good.

[Rory]

It was a whole segment. You don't remember that episode after.

[Julian]

Yeah, but I just can't believe you said it again.

[Damaris]

I'm sorry?

[Julian]

The first time you said it, I'm like, all right. I don't want to say no, they don't think I hate Cole. I'm not going to respond.

[Rory]

But then you double down from 2019 to 2024. I think you could make a huge case that Freddie Gibbs has been the best rapper. Rapper.

[Julian]

Okay.

[Rory]

You want to do stats monthly listeners. I'm not here to have that combo.

[Julian]

He's had some of my favorite verses and projects the last five years for sure, so I'm not mad at that. But.

[Damaris]

So when you were saying you think his catalog is better than Drake's, you were saying that.

[Rory]

No, I didn't say. I said I think he should be in the conversation with those guys. As far as discography.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

I did not say he has a better catalog than Cole, Kendrick, and Drake. I said he should be in the conversation. Okay.

[Julian]

I just.

[Damaris]

Thank you for clarifying.

[Rory]

You know this is recorded.

[Damaris]

I do. I. All I said was thank you and you.

[Rory]

But go back and listen the whole thing. Not what peach clips up.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

Listen to what I actually said.

[Damaris]

I was just wondering if you meant Drake's rap songs or like just his entire.

[Rory]

I remember exactly saying with rap catalog. I said that at the end. I chose my words very carefully.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Julian]

All of Drake raps. Raps his rap songs. Yeah.

[Rory]

I think as far as rap catalog. Yeah. I think Gibbs should be in the conversation with them. Not saying he's no Gibbs.

[Julian]

Gibbs is. He's definitely one of my favorite rappers, for sure. But there's a lot of good rap out right now, man. I'm not gonna lie. It's a lot of good rap out.

[Rory]

Banks, Halloween, Havoc 5 fire.

[Julian]

Lot of good rap out, man.

[Rory]

Mature Banks. I may be passing the punchline Banks. I love mature Banks, so definitely listen to that. It's also nice to have Banks mixtapes on streaming that you can like just open your phone and get to because that was rough for a lot of years. Had to go through my itunes and like email myself stuff to listen to in the car.

[Julian]

That Case closed DP from Young Chris and Rider, though, that. That's. That might be. It's short. I think it's like six or seven tracks on there. But they. They rapping they ass off on that project, man. I was really, really good to hear Chris rapping again, putting out music and. And the way Rider performed on that, I think a lot of people are going to start paying more attention to him. So.

[Rory]

Sure.

[Julian]

Check out that case closed EP for sure. One of my favorite joints this year so far.

[Rory]

Do we have voicemails?

[Maul]

We do.

[Julian]

You've got mail.

[Maul]

Of course. Yeah, let's just. Let's just go. Sorry, I'm like flustered. Sick. I feel like. Let's just jump right in. Pause. Whatever.

[Julian]

So, Julian Damaris, this is dj.

[Maul]

I don't know why he's talking again like a muscle on.

[Damaris]

Can you turn on?

[Maul]

I can't.

[Julian]

So I got a quick question. How do I tell my homie to hang it up? So boom. I played football with bro.

[Rory]

About four.

[Julian]

Or five years ago. No play college and everything, but he's been hitting me up to play 37U semi pro football and I want to tell bro to hang it the up. Like, why are you doing this? You've been out the game for five years. You're not making it to the league.

[Rory]

Like, you were my backup.

[Julian]

And I don't want to be rude about it, but I lowkey have to be. So what should I do? And if y'all don't know what 37U is. It's pretty much just adult pop warning. And he's still playing. Like, he goes out there every weekend and it's just paying to catch CTE. I don't get it. What should I do?

[Maul]

37U is a hilarious number.

[Rory]

37.

[Maul]

That's a crazy.

[Rory]

Okay. If he doesn't, like, have a job, then I would say, yeah, tell your friend he needs to focus on becoming an adult and hanging it up. But if he's working and handling his responsibilities, what's wrong with on the weekends doing your passion? Like, if he loved football his whole life, he can't just keep playing the is wrong with that.

[Julian]

I think at some point you got to just put it. Put the cleats down, man.

[Rory]

But. But why? I mean, if he's physically able.

[Julian]

Yeah, physically able.

[Rory]

But football, I mean, yes, it takes a toll.

[Julian]

I don't know if you should be playing football after 37, 38 recreationally and.

[Rory]

Even, like, semi pro. A lot of those guys are like, 21, 22 fresh like you programs.

[Julian]

Yeah, I'm not. Come on, family.

[Rory]

I get it.

[Julian]

Touch me like that.

[Rory]

But also, like, I can see the psyche of the entire thing. Like, if you. If your life has been dedicated to football since you were a small child, it's tough to just leave that alone.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I don't think he's sitting there like, yo, I'm get to the league one day. I think he's probably made peace with that already, but loves football so much and it brings him fulfillment. If he's handling his responsibilities as an adult on the weekends during football season, yeah, go play football.

[Julian]

I don't know about that. After a certain age, I think we got to put the football down. If he.

[Maul]

If he's playing in the way in which Rory's saying it, then fine. But it kind of sounded like he's saying this as if he still thinks he can go pro. That's the problem is, like, if you're playing it because you have a job and it's.

[Julian]

Let that dream go, man.

[Maul]

Yeah, like, I also basketball, but I'm not like, damn, I dropped fucking 20 tonight. I think the Knicks are going to call me tomorrow. Like, I. I'm not. There's no level of.

[Julian]

Nah, you're that guy. You keep stats and pickup.

[Maul]

Look, we can go to Yankee Stadium.

[Rory]

I was about to say we were. We were on the diamond.

[Maul]

They couldn't use me in the playoffs. I could have gone up there and did what Aaron Judge did.

[Rory]

We all could have.

[Maul]

Yeah, sure.

[Julian]

We all Could.

[Rory]

I could easily strike out a MLC.

[Julian]

That 98 mile an hour fastball coming at you, I wouldn't see it. Yeah, neither did he.

[Rory]

Have you ever went to like the batting cages and turned that all the way up?

[Julian]

Yes.

[Maul]

That's a scary.

[Rory]

Just seeing that is like scary. Yo, how the do they do this?

[Julian]

Yeah. Had a whole different respect for batters that can sit up there and be comfortable and have a fast enough swing to catch up to a fastball, like.

[Maul]

But if he thinks he can go pro, then that's. Yes.

[Rory]

I think that guy's gassing it. I don't think anyone in semi pro really thinks like that. If that was the case, like in the Canadian Football League. Yeah. There's a lot of people there that are. That didn't make a team and are trying to get, you know, their game tapes up to try to get in the league. A bunch of great players have done that. I don't know if there's ever been a story of someone going to a semi pro football team and then going to the league. I don't think that's ever happened.

[Julian]

No.

[Rory]

So I don't think he thinks that.

[Julian]

Are you just having fun? It's nothing wrong. As you get older, you still have your passions for sports and things like that. It's good to be out there and be active. But I just think football is one of those things. As you get older, you kind of got to just like fade away from that.

[Rory]

But also you have to be, no matter what, in shape. Being in your mid-30s, what a great way to make sure you're in safe or make sure you're in shape to keep yourself safe.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

You're. If you. It's not a beer league, it's pads. I have to stay in shape at 35 years old.

[Julian]

Right.

[Rory]

So that's a good motivation for your own safety.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

35 CTE. You'll be all right. Yeah, we all have it.

[Julian]

You don't need your brain after 36. Julia, next one, please.

[Maul]

All right, here we go.

[Rory]

Woman I've been talking to for a little.

[Maul]

I'm starting this mid one because there's like an unnecessary build up. So just. It just goes right into it.

[Rory]

I've been talking to for a little while and she went to the singles night at Record Room, right. And somebody popular, I think all y'all know actually was there and we spoke a few times about how I think she's attractive. So anyways, the girl I was talking to sees her and writes about how she's so beautiful, which she is. But then she gets into her not talking to anybody there makes her feel better about doing the same thing. She'd expect her to be taken.

[Julian]

So now she feels better about her situation.

[Rory]

So my question for y'all is, what did y'all do or would y'all do when you find out that somebody that you talking to was a loser? Well, pause. Was somebody you thought was. That ain't that. I think they calling it the ick nowadays.

[Julian]

Okay. Okay.

[Damaris]

Julian. I'm not.

[Rory]

I'm a little.

[Damaris]

Replay that. Because.

[Maul]

No, because he's saying. So he's saying he's into this girl, and they went to, like, some event. Event. Some dating event.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Maul]

And at this event, they both saw.

[Julian]

They went to record room. Record room in the city.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah. And they both saw a girl that has a following as well known, but she was there as well, and she's single. And he's saying he thought she's bad. Whatever, which is like, whatever. But the girl that this guy was with, saw her, was like, oh, sweet. Like, I feel better about myself now because she's also here, and she's like the it girl. And he was, like, watching her react to seeing this other woman there gave him the ick.

[Julian]

Oh, okay.

[Maul]

I didn't like that. She was, like, so infatuated and so into the fact that this other woman was here.

[Rory]

That's an understandable ick.

[Julian]

Yeah, I get it.

[Rory]

That's. That's a. That's a red flag.

[Julian]

But I don't. I don't know. Maybe I. When the woman sees another woman that she likes or she's a fan of or she's attracted to, I'm not as mad at that.

[Rory]

No, it depends.

[Julian]

Now, taking pictures and want to take a picture, then that's like, we. You're doing a little too much.

[Rory]

It's totally fine. If I was like, I love her. I follow her.

[Julian]

Like, she's super cool.

[Rory]

She's my friend in my head because I followed her for. So whatever.

[Julian]

Cool.

[Rory]

But if you start, like, really being like, oh, if she here, I'm here. I'm.

[Maul]

We equal.

[Rory]

I'm in the spot now.

[Maul]

Like, yeah, we equal.

[Rory]

That's. That's a red flag.

[Julian]

We're the same.

[Rory]

You can find out a lot about a person by how they deal with attention.

[Julian]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

If that gets her that excited, then that's a red flag to me.

[Julian]

Just don't embarrass me, that's all. I just think we don't want to be embarrassed at the End of the day, by women or men that we're with and we're out hanging out with. Just don't embarrass me. Yeah, you could be a fan. You could, you know, but just don't embarrass me. And I think he probably was a little embarrassed by the way she was acting when she saw a woman that, you know, she probably follows on. On social media and actually saw her in person. And he probably didn't see that in her. Like, oh, you're.

[Rory]

You.

[Julian]

You're like a fan.

[Maul]

Oh, you're a fan?

[Julian]

Yeah, like, oh, you. Okay, that's. That could be a little embarrassing. I remember I went to a comedy show with a girl one night, and that was the first time I was ever embarrassed being out with a girl.

[Rory]

She fanned over Paul Mooney.

[Julian]

That would have been easy.

[Damaris]

I mean, hey, I will fan over Paul Mooney.

[Rory]

Same. And then he'll call me a cracker. And then I'll be like, really? Thanks, Paul.

[Julian]

No, she started. She got into it with the comedian, like an argument.

[Rory]

Was she drunk?

[Julian]

No.

[Rory]

Oh, God.

[Julian]

She just. She's just one of those girls that just can't shut up, take everything serious, and just. You know what I'm saying? I'm just like.

[Maul]

I didn't find that funny.

[Julian]

Yeah. Like, this is a comedy show.

[Damaris]

What did he say?

[Rory]

Say?

[Damaris]

What did he.

[Julian]

He was like. He was. He was trying to be respectful, but then I could tell he was looking at me like, yo, like, tell shorty. Chill out.

[Damaris]

I'm saying, what was the original joke that she.

[Julian]

Oh, I can't. I can't remember the joke. But it wasn't nothing. She just responded to something he said, and then he obviously heard her co. So he walked to the side where we were sitting at, started having a conversation. It felt like it was just funny jokes, like, in the beginning, but then she just took it another way and was like, that's not funny. Like. Like, be funny. Like, if you're gonna be on stage, be funny. And I'm just like, yo, come. Don't do that.

[Damaris]

Oh, that's lame.

[Julian]

Yeah. And I'm sitting there like, dog. And he looking at me like, yo, like, control you. I'm like, this is our first time hanging out. This is not my girlfriend. Like, my girlfriend would never do no shit like this. And that was just, like, embarrassing. But I'm looking at her like, yo, I'm tapping at the table. Like, chill. Like, you doing. This is a comedy show. Just relax. Like, just sit here, order your drink. If you like it. If you find it funny, laugh. If not, just.

[Damaris]

Just chill like that. Like, why are you killing the bug? Like, just.

[Julian]

Just be cool.

[Rory]

I've done a lot of comedy club dates before. Every time I make sure we're not sitting. Not even the front, but even within where the lights hit, I want to be in the dark because I don't even want to be a part of that. Back and forth. Because a lot of women that don't go to comedy clubs, that becomes a thing. Like, if a comic says something to you, it just gets weird. Like, people that don't regularly go to comedy clubs can ruin an evening because they don't understand comedy club culture and etiquette. Now the whole fucking date is ru. Now she's looking at you like, why didn't you defend me? It was like, it's a comic.

[Julian]

Yeah. She looking at you like, why you didn't. The comic looked comic. Looking at me like, control your. Like, I'm just sitting there, everybody looking at me. I'm just like, this is our first hangout and our last hangout.

[Damaris]

Wait to drop her.

[Julian]

What? Oh, my God. We never saw each other after that. Never.

[Rory]

We.

[Maul]

That's all.

[Rory]

Well, I won't say we did a double date, per se, but we. We brought two women to. Was it a roast night at. At the. Where were we at? We're in la. It was at the Comedy Store.

[Julian]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

That was. I believe, with the two women we were with. It was a little. I don't think they were ready for some of that racism.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Especially Kia was sucking her teeth. I was like, it's a. Like, it's. This is what it's for.

[Julian]

This is comedy.

[Rory]

Like, I could feel her shaking next to me.

[Julian]

It's comedy. Just. Just laugh and not just. Just be on your phone. Just shut up.

[Rory]

Yeah, that. That was. And it was like the Late show where they let anything go. I think we went at like, midnight.

[Julian]

Yeah, we went. The last record. The last show. I remember that. That.

[Rory]

That was rough. Speaking of comedy, before we. We get out of here, Bill Burr, SNL on Saturday, post election. The last two times, it's Ben Chappelle.

[Maul]

Last Great white.

[Damaris]

The last Great white.

[Maul]

We love Bill Burr.

[Rory]

Big, big shoes to fill. Even though he is one of the greatest comedians of all time. The last two election Saturdays have been Chappelle.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And he smoked both of those. I don't have any doubt that Bill Burr won't do the same, but I'm.

[Julian]

Looking forward to that one.

[Rory]

That's a big risk. Like, I'm. I'm shocked. He would even be like, yeah, I'll do that.

[Maul]

He's got a black wife.

[Julian]

Yeah, he gonna lean. You know, he gonna lean into the shits.

[Rory]

But. But Bill Burr also has shown that he doesn't really give a. In the way of. I don't even know if I want to be around that energy type of thing. I'm gonna put myself in a position where I'm gonna end up being on the View in the morning. Like, I don't even want to do that. So I'm shocked he said yes to it, but I'm super excited he might be.

[Damaris]

Like, it's time to grow his career. To the comedian. He should be.

[Rory]

I mean, he's.

[Damaris]

No, he's huge. He should.

[Rory]

He sold out Fenway Park.

[Julian]

Yeah. He's already a legend.

[Damaris]

I think I'm disrespecting Bill Burr. I'm a Bill Burr fan. What I'm saying is I. What I take Bill Burr's talent is him not stepping in those certain rooms.

[Rory]

Does not.

[Damaris]

There's a cat, too. You are. You see what I'm saying? You're not going to be Chappelle if you refuse to step into those.

[Julian]

He's not trying to be Chappelle. It's not.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

You're saying more of like the. I mean, I guess Chappelle's political, but you're saying more of touching on those type of issues in the moment.

[Maul]

Like.

[Damaris]

Yes, like taking a take. Exactly. Taking advantage of those moments. Propel yourself into super, super stardom. Because I think he has the. Like, I think he. He's funny enough to do it.

[Rory]

He just smart enough to do it.

[Damaris]

And smart enough. He just chooses not to because of what you just said.

[Julian]

Yeah, but you don't think he's already a super stalking media?

[Damaris]

Yes, but there's levels.

[Rory]

He's no Chris Rock. We're gonna wrap up a little early because Maul and I have to go pay our respects to the great, great, great DJ Clark Kent. Rest in peace. Again, condolences to his family. So that's. That's where we're gonna head out. Now. We're also in Atlanta in what, a week?

[Julian]

A week.

[Rory]

God damn.

[Julian]

Less than a week.

[Rory]

This year is flying by. November 22nd. Tickets available now newworldmall.com we will be in the streets of Atlanta. Like, if you're in Atlanta, you'll see us. We're gonna be everywhere.

[Julian]

Congrats to Fanny Willis. Getting back in. Getting voted back in Atlanta. Y'all really did. Y'all. Did y'all. Big one with that one.

[Rory]

They. They misunderstood you. I don't even know if I want to get into that, but everyone misunderstood.

[Julian]

And then voted that lady back in. Y'all are crazy.

[Rory]

And everyone's response to your tweet was, I'm a citizen of Atlanta. She's trying to keep everything.

[Julian]

Danny Willis is corrupt.

[Rory]

She's corrupt as fuck. There's a reason why Thug got off.

[Julian]

Yeah. Because, like, get the fuck out of here.

[Rory]

Everything she was running behind the scenes was corrupt. She's not here to keep Atlanta safe. She's here to make a name for herself. And that's what happened with that thug election. It just backfired on her because she was doing weird shit behind the scenes.

[Julian]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But, yeah, this, this was a healthy post election episode. I'm proud of everyone in the room.

[Julian]

Yes.

[Rory]

I think we all came together and unified.

[Julian]

Yes.

[Rory]

I'm not a huge fan of Trump, but I really do hope everything positive he says he's going to do. He does. Because it's really expensive out here.

[Julian]

I like his new slogan. Promises made, promises kept. I like that.

[Rory]

Okay, so like a liar.

[Julian]

We'll see. He got. He got four years.

[Maul]

Do you think. I was going to ask. Do you think he'll think he'll pardon himself? Do you think he'll amend the 20. Was it the 2022? It's one of the. Do you think he'll eradicate that?

[Julian]

And I'm not mad. I'm not mad at that, though. I think that if.

[Rory]

How old will he be in four years?

[Julian]

It's not for him. It's just saying, like, moving forward. If a president is doing a great job, why does he only get two terms and that's it?

[Maul]

If he's doing it, it'd be for him. I'm just gonna say that.

[Rory]

Or whoever he has next in line.

[Julian]

I don't. Honestly, I don't think Trump cares to be president after these four years. I don't think he wants to be president. Like, how old will he be in eight years?

[Maul]

He's already 80. No, he's the oldest incoming president already.

[Julian]

I don't think he wants to be president for the next eight years.

[Maul]

He's currently 78.

[Rory]

Look at that photo that you're saying.

[Damaris]

That only because you like the current president. Once he does that, if there's a president in the office that's awful. That people keep voting for then and we can't get him the fuck out of the.

[Rory]

But it Is I love eight years. We need to be. No matter how good things are going, the world changes, especially now, very quick.

[Julian]

You'Ll still have a vote. I'm just saying that the president can't even run after eight years. So if he does a great job this term, he can't even run next term. So he's saying, like, if any president coming in is doing a great job and they get like, if Obama, if he did a great job, people felt for two terms, he should have been able to run for a third term.

[Rory]

But that's when you start flirting with dictatorship. There's a reason it's there with checks and balances. Like, there's a. They didn't just randomly say eight years. That is.

[Julian]

No, you still get to vote. Let the people vote. But he, A president should be able to run for more than two.

[Maul]

So you're just saying let him be eligible for the ticket.

[Julian]

That's it.

[Maul]

Not just keep him in office.

[Julian]

For the people still get a chance. People still get the vote. They get the vote for who they want. But a president shouldn't just be like, oh, well, you did it. That was a great eight years. Obama, but that's it. You can't run no more.

[Damaris]

But see here, I don't think he's.

[Rory]

Going to touch that.

[Damaris]

Here's. Here's the thing. Right? But. So if a lot of people will vote for. If you're doing. Even if you're doing an okay job, a lot of people will vote for what's familiar. And there might be two fresh faces who are better. Who are better qualified to be president, but people. It's splitting the vote. You're now splitting the vote more. Are you seeing what I'm saying?

[Julian]

We should, we should have more than three options anyway.

[Maul]

I mean, there's really only two options.

[Damaris]

But I think you, I think you underestimate just how stupid America is and how much we can't really focus America and didn't go and, and go and see what the they stood for. So can you imagine a third one that was really in the running?

[Julian]

Like, America look pretty smart now. They got it right.

[Damaris]

Wrap up the episode one of y'all.

[Rory]

Oh, they got it right. I'm out, man.

[Damaris]

Listen, the Uber here for y'all.

[Julian]

They got it right.

[Rory]

November 22nd, we will be in Atlanta to discuss the decisions you guys made and we'll go from there.

[Julian]

All right, well, be safe, be blessed. I was born in America, by God. I'm gonna die in America. I'm that he's just Ginger. Peace?

[Maul]

What's that even mean?

[Rory]

No worrying now.
