1. Bruno Mars & Sexy Red: A Culture Vulture Debate

Hell, yeah, for sure. And I kind of want my flowers.

[Maul]

That shit is trash, man. Hey, Bruno's a. Nah, I ain't gonna say that.

[Rory]

A culture vulture, yo.

[Maul]

I'm not gonna lie, man.

[Damaris]

Bruno a culture vulture. When Bruno did the same thing on this song that he does on all other songs.

[Maul]

Yeah, he's been a culture vulture for years.

[Rory]

Vulturing the culture.

[Maul]

We was just talking about him last week, and I said, I don't know what it is. I can't pinpoint what it is.

[Damaris]

So y'all sat up here and argued with me for two hours off mike that Eminem wasn't a culture vulture. But Bruno's the one doing it for you.

[Rory]

Yeah. And, I mean, you were out last episode. We were gonna have that debate on camera. But I feel like you want to back Out a little bit now because my point was proven as of last Friday.

[Damaris]

Your point was not. How was your point proven?

[Rory]

Because it. It sounded like 10 white execs walked into a boardroom and said, hey, the folks are really into that west coast sound now. Get them Bruno.

[Damaris]

But it's not even a Bruno song. It's a Sexy Red song. Bruno doesn't even have a. A verse on it. You just want to hate Bruno. My bad. Bruno doesn't have.

[Rory]

He doesn't have a. Listen, man. Bridge, hook, verse, whatever you want to call it. He literally did not bridge, hook, verse. He did not get some pussy so good. He almost threw up a set.

[Maul]

I kind of felt him on that. I kind of felt him on that. I definitely was from 60 when I got into.

[Rory]

I definitely went through an era when I was with Crip, but I wasn't throwing it up outside of, like, dangerous purposes. I would be throw. She threw it up because she was with a Crip. I can't throw up Crip now too, because you a Crip. Just because I'm Eskimo brothers, I'm gonna.

[Maul]

Send them absolutely get into it.

[Rory]

You don't think it's disrespectful that they took Nipsey last time that I checked and changed it to fat, juicy and wet? That's not culture Vulture to you?

[Maul]

That's correct.

[Rory]

That sounds like AI spit out.

[Maul]

That's crazy.

[Rory]

2025. Not like us West coast feel with a cruise ship singer.

[Damaris]

Okay, well, first of all, I am not a fan of the song. I like the song because I like Bruno. But once the verses come on and Sexyy Red starts, I'm over the overly sexualized shit. Like, I've told y'all that on this podcast before. I am over the overly sexual shit.

[Maul]

It's funny because I heard a lot of women say this weekend, I'm over it. They kind of like. It's like, all right, we get it, but it's just, whoa, it's too much.

[Rory]

All right. Every episode, we're just going down my list of 2025 predictions. I said rap was on its last legs and on camera. You guys laughed at me and said, it'll never go away.

[Maul]

No, it's not. It's not going away.

[Rory]

But people are starting to feel it is getting over the top when you're bombarded non stop with that. Well, this, like any other, this.

[Maul]

This Bruno Mars and Sexy Red record is. I just think it's. When you heard Bruno and Sexy had a song together. I don't think this is what we expect.

[Damaris]

This was not what I was expecting.

[Maul]

It's kind of like. Kind of like, caught us like, oh, this is the route they went. Like, we know what to expect from Sexyy Red.

[Rory]

Right?

[Maul]

But I thought that maybe, you know, this was gonna be her turning, like, nah, I don't. I don't. I don't just do that. I could also do this type of record with Bruno Mars as well. At least that's what I was expecting.

[Damaris]

Same.

[Maul]

And we got the total. We got Sexyy Red.

[Rory]

She's true.

[Maul]

One thing I love about sex, she gonna be. She show up at Sexy Red.

[Rory]

She saved the record. In my opinion.

[Maul]

She leave a Sexyy Red. She don't give a fuck.

[Damaris]

See, I'm not gonna let you do that shit. I'm not gonna let you do that. Say she saved the record. The whole entire record is. Rory. You don't believe that. You just hate Bruno. You don't believe that.

[Rory]

I thought I hated Sexy Red. You guys have to make up your mind. You hate the I like Bruno Mars more than I like Sexy, and it's not even close.

[Damaris]

No, you don't.

[Rory]

That's not even a fair comparison. Look at a whole discography versus a few records.

[Damaris]

But you don't hate on. On Sexy the way you hate on Bruno. All you'll say with Sexy is, her time's up. Whatever With Bruno, you go hard with your hate for Bruno.

[Rory]

Define going hard for hate.

[Damaris]

Okay, just because it's not our camera don't mean that.

[Rory]

Come on. Don't turn it into Twitter community when you say when you dislike something all of a sudden, like, you fucking hate him. No, I have said that. I understand Bruno's success. He's a great pop artist. It's not for me because it feels too polished synthetic. This shit is just not for me. It doesn't connect. And this may be the furthest Bruno has ever taken it for some real fucking AI. No feeling whatsoever. I'm just going to repeat what I think the kids would like. That was embarrassed. I had secondhand embarrassment.

[Damaris]

But you're. You're blaming Bruno for this. But Bruno literally only has the chorus. It's literally a Sexy Red verse, a sexy reverse, and then a Sexy Red little after.

[Maul]

So you cool. You cool with the hook? You cool with that?

[Damaris]

I actually, I don't. I. It's not for me, but I'm a dance anyway because I like the beat.

[Maul]

But, like, if it ain't for you, it ain't for a lot of people because you like that type of.

[Damaris]

I do like that type of.

[Maul]

So if you saying it ain't for.

[Damaris]

You, that means it's not for a lot of people. However, I don't think that Bruno is what's wrong with the song, because Bruno is my favorite part of the song.

[Maul]

I'm not gonna say Bruno was what's wrong with the song. I'm. I'm just speaking for me. When I heard Bruno and Sexy had a song coming, I definitely thought something.

[Damaris]

I thought they were gonna lean more in the Bruno Cardi lane. I thought they were gonna lean over there, but they went full sexy Sexy Red song.

[Rory]

Went into it on mic, not hating. I thought it was going to be good. I really thought I was like, all right. Also, it doesn't shock me. And I mean, I said this off mic more to piss off Damaris. But I will say to you, Bruno does have some one Trick pony rollout stuff, as a lot of other artists do. I'm not just making that a Bruno, right? But he did it with Cardi twice. Made two great records. And I mean, if the wheel isn't broken, go with the hottest ratchet chick and put Bruno.

[Damaris]

Bruno's been out for like, he's. Bruno's been out for 10 years. He got two and a half Ratchet songs and now suddenly he's a one trick punk.

[Maul]

Is this his song or Sexyy Red song?

[Damaris]

This is Sexyy Red song. It's so out of here at this.

[Rory]

Point with these types of artists. I don't even know whose song Wap is. Is it Meg? Is it Cardi? Whose is it?

[Damaris]

It's Cardi's song. Wap is Cardi's song.

[Rory]

That type of shit to me with primary artists now, doesn't really matter like that. Like, both their names are right there. It's on both of their Spotify profiles.

[Damaris]

Like, I'll agree with you, they kind.

[Rory]

Of purposely make it that way. You don't really know whose record it is.

[Damaris]

I agree with you. When they're both contributing equ, this song only has a Bruno Mars chorus with two sexy red verses and a sexy red bridge. It's a sexy red song.

[Maul]

So you wasn't.

[Damaris]

This is not going on Bruno's album.

[Maul]

So you're saying.

[Rory]

I don't doubt it. I'm with you too. I don't think it will.

[Maul]

But if it's not going on his album.

[Rory]

Well, he already. He has two records already in top 10 Billboard right now.

[Maul]

Well, yeah, no, I mean, he doesn't need this on his album, but I'm just saying. I just. I don't know. I. I'm just disappointed in this record. But then again, this is coming from somebody that, like, I told you, I don't really. I recognize the talent that Bruno Mars is. He's talented. He's a great performer. He has smash records, smash songs. Like, he's. I'm not speaking against that. Me personally, I just don't play Bruno Mars, and that's fine. Like, I don't go to his albums. I don't play his albums. I recognize that he has some big songs right now. Like, one of the songs I really like with Lady Gaga.

[Damaris]

Number one album. Number one song.

[Maul]

Yeah, Like, I recognize that.

[Rory]

I like that song too, but I.

[Maul]

Will never play that song.

[Damaris]

No.

[Maul]

Like, if I'm out, can I hear it?

[Rory]

If it came on, like, on a playlist or something, I'd leave it. I like the song.

[Maul]

Yeah, I would leave it. If it came on a playlist or something, I would not go into it. But I'm not going to that song and saying, yo, I need to hear that.

[Rory]

Like, I got moms in the car. I don't know. Maybe that's what. Bruno's great when moms is in the car.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

That's why I was actually happy you did the Anderson paak thing. I was like, all right, next road trip with my mom, we'll have something we can agree on.

[Maul]

You can't play this Bruno mar. Sexy red with moms in the car. You don't think moms are relive the 60s?

[Rory]

It's not that I'd be scared that she would be offended. I'd be scared if she was into it. I don't even want to set that chance.

[Maul]

What if you played a Bruno a Sexy song for your mom's and then she lean into, like, Sexy's ad libs? Like, she don't just know the verse, she know the ad libs.

[Rory]

Like, go Kathy, go Kathy. Yo, yo, Kathy.

[Maul]

Knowing sexy's ad libs, crazy. You got to rethink your whole life if your mom knows sexy.

[Rory]

Like, mom, it's been out 24 hours. How you know? How you know the libs?

[Maul]

Yo, your mom's knowing sexy's ad libs is wild, man.

[Rory]

I don't know, man. This song sounds like a kids bop version of a sexually explicit song that kids shouldn't make. Like, that's how cheesy it is to me.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Remember the kids bop when they would remix, they'd be like, wow, this is awful. Now if they did that for adults in sex clubs.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like adult bops. That's what this sounds like to me.

[Maul]

I'm not bad parody. I'm rooting for Sexyy Red. I just love the fact that she's always who she is and she's not changing for nobody. I just was expecting different.

[Damaris]

Why are we rooting for her? Right. And this is someone who loves. Who loves pussy rap. I like it. But when you say you're rooting for her, what makes you root for her?

[Maul]

The fact that she. Here's a. Here's somebody. Somebody that came from, you know, beginnings that I'm probably familiar with, from the inner city, from the hood, and found a way to, you know, make something out of her life, become an artist, actually last longer than I thought she would. I'm not gonna lie. Like Sexyy Red is. She's lasted longer than I thought she would. I thought she caught a viral song and, you know, that would be the end of it. But she's actually turned out to be a pretty successful artist, maybe even a household name at this point.

[Rory]

Not how, but she's definitely.

[Maul]

I mean, if you say Sexy Red in the. In pretty much any room that we would be in, people gonna know who you talking about.

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah.

[Damaris]

You know, when I think household name, I think of the Bruno Mars, the Beyonce's, the. The people.

[Maul]

Your grandparents got a song with Bruno.

[Damaris]

And mom would know. Yeah, that's fine.

[Maul]

I mean, if Bruno willing to do a record with her, she. She's pretty hot. If Bruno feel like, yeah, nah, I get on the record with her because he's one of the top artists in the world.

[Damaris]

You know what's crazy? I think that Bruno. I think this record came about and this is just me guessworking, putting little pieces together from pictures they've taken and stuff. I think Bruno met Sexyy Red and like everybody else who meets Sexyy Red, fell in love with her and was like, yo, let's work. Let's do something. And I'm sure Bruno sent her over a beat and she did what she did on it, and that's how they came up with that song. Like, that's part of it. That's something fun to do.

[Rory]

Anderson and Bruno are wild boys. I can totally see Bruno and Sexyy Red having a genuine friendship and getting along.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So, yes, I see that and their personalities together. I just think that's part of being talented, though. What do you mean?

[Maul]

That's a personality?

[Rory]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Maul]

I mean, like, as an artist, like, if somebody. If you walk in A room and you know, an artist, that is phenomenal. But they personality is shit. Like, I've met, you know, people that have spoken about when they've met their idols. Like, yo, he, this artist inspired me to become a writer. And then when they meet that artist, it's like, yo, but he was a. He was a dickhead. Like, I can't even listen to their music, his music, no more. So for somebody like Sexyy Red to be in these rooms or be somewhere with Bruno Mars, and for Bruno to be like, damn, I like shorty. Like, I fuck with her, that's part of the talent of an artist is do people like you? Do people wanna work with you? Not are you just talented as an artist and in the booth, but as your personality sitting here kicking it with you. Obviously I know who you are, but now meeting you, it's like, I fell in love with her. She's amazing. She's an amazing person. Like, the energy was dope. Yo, I got a track. Let's see what happens.

[Rory]

But, I mean. Yes, but I also think a lot of times, the way us white people watch the Wire, sometimes we just like what we think is authentic. And I think a lot of people in the industry attach themselves to Sexyy Red because they like to be entertained by the quote unquote, ratchet shit. Like, similar. Like, remember when Taylor Swift and Ice Spice were supposed to be best friends? And then Ice Spice didn't pan out, so Taylor doesn't invite her to the games anymore. Yeah, Remember that whole thing she penned after that awful record that they put out of, like, how amazing of a person. I'm not saying that Ice Spice isn't, but she was talking to her like she was the next Nas. To me, that was a completely phony thing, which I think a lot of the pop world does with hip hop. They view that shit like they're on Safaree, just watching, like, oh, I wanna be next to that just for a song, though, and then move the fuck on.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I think people are starting to do that with Sexyy Red.

[Maul]

I do think that it is a real thing where, you know, talking to some of my homegirls, they do feel like the Sexyy Reds, those type of artists are making it difficult for black women, though, in a sense of if this is who. Because now what Sexyy Red has done with a song with Bruno Mars is they've casted the Sexyy Red net even wider now. More people that didn't know who Sexyy Red was know who she is. They're Hearing her. Her lyrics, they're hearing what she's talking about. So she's placed on this pedestal where she's a black woman, she's an artist, and this is her art. This is what she's doing. Now to a lot of black women, they're like, damn, wow. You know, it's cool and cute to turn up to it sometimes. We don't want that to be the representation of black female artists.

[Damaris]

So. And that's the performance. That's a deeper, darker. Yeah, the performance politics that have been happening with black women, where we see one of us on screen and we feel like they're all giving us a bad name. This was a big thing that happened with Cardi B. As well. People don't see fucking Kanye's white wife and say that she speaks for all white women. They don't do that with Spanish women. They only do that with black women. Well, black women, we really do it to each other. And to that, I want to say this. People who respect women and respect black women know that we're not all a monolith. They already know that. The people who think that one black woman represents all black women already think the worst of you as it is. So it doesn't matter. There's no need to do performance politics with them. Because if you think that sexyy red, if you see sexyy red and like, ah, black woman, she represents all black women. They're all fucking Jezebels. You thought that anyway, and that was just confirming what you already thought. So you can' life or create your art around trying to please those people or trying to put on the cleanliness politics or the performance politics to represent all black women. You'll never get anything done. You really gotta not give a fuck what people think. One black woman does not represent our entire race. Now, what I will say is that she does not make it easier for the pussy rap girls to transition over that, I will say, because I feel like people can look at her, no matter who they are, and say, this is a pussy rapper or this is what she's rapping about. She takes it so far that it might make it harder for a Lotto or a Megan or Cardi, who do rap about other things, to be seen as more than just a pussy rapper because of what she does.

[Rory]

Yeah. Cause even like Cardi, with both her records with Bruno, while she was very much Cardi B. On it and did have sexual stuff, she curbed it a little bit. She leaned more into the song than she did in, like, ig. Live Cardi. The only way to top that would. To do what Sexyy Red did and take it all the way there. Now what do we do? Yeah, now it's the lotto verse on a pop record.

[Maul]

Yeah. But that's why, you know, I was surprised that again, I love that sexy is who she is. No matter what. She's walking in the room as Sexyy Red. She's leaving as Sexyy Red. I respect that. But I thought that once given this, this look, this opportunity to get a record with somebody like a Bruno Mars, I thought she would taper it off just a little bit. Like, let me kind of. Because now, again, I'm in a different. I'm on a different level now. I'm getting played in, you know, potentially, you know, she already is getting played in arenas and stadiums and things like that. But I think that with Bruno, I thought that she would kind of let me clean it up a little bit. Cause I maybe told you a year ago, two years ago that I'm waiting for the Sexyy Red rebrand. Like once she completely changes her image, like, not so, you know, Ratchet, like, I could see the aesthetic, like when she decides to clean her image up and go a different way, I think she's going to be a bigger artist than she is now.

[Damaris]

So, I mean. And I remember disagreeing with you on that. And I do still disagree with you on that. Thank you.

[Maul]

I like that.

[Damaris]

The only reason why. Yeah, I stand on business. The reason why I believe that I think maybe clothes wise because in this video, she had on more clothes than usual. But what I will say is as far as what she talks about and Sexyy Red not she had a hoodie on. Sexyy Red's whole brand is relatability. If she gets rid of. Relate of her relatability, then as far or what she.

[Maul]

Her brand is relatability. What do you mean by that?

[Damaris]

Hood relatability. Ratchet relatability.

[Maul]

Oh, just say ratchet. Don't try to put nice words on it. No, Ratchet is certain.

[Damaris]

No, but Ratchet girls relate to her. That's what I'm saying. Her. She's. She doesn't wear a lot of makeup. She doesn't do over the top dressing. That's what makes her special. If she takes away what makes her special, it might be harder for her. That's why I don't. I just don't see her ever doing that as her whole brand is. This is who I am. I'm sticking to it. So like I told you before, if she changes that now would have been the time on the Bruno record. And even then she didn't change it. She's on the couch. More. More clothes than usual, but doing a split barefoot, just ashy foot on. On the sofa.

[Rory]

But do you feel like Cardi is a great example of staying who you are, but you're still evolving a bit? Like, Cardi is still the ratchet girl from the Bronx, but as she's been leveling up in certain areas, she changed her aesthetic. Changed a bit, but she changed. No one has ever looked at Cardi and been like, damn, she sold out. She's not like, so that was some cosplay. No, Cardi is still who she is, but things have changed when you become the number one artist on Atlantic. Yeah, she changed a bit, but.

[Damaris]

Yes, but the thing is, Cardi changed like that way quicker car that Cardi changed happened a lot quicker.

[Maul]

Yes, she won best rap out. She had. She had no choice.

[Damaris]

But she had changed even before that. Cardi has started to clean up her image. And when I say image, I'm not even the things like, Cardi is a rapper, but Cardi doesn't rape. Outside of wap, Cardi's pussy rap isn't like Sexyy Red's pussy rap or Megan's pussy rap. Like, Cardi cleaned up.

[Maul]

Well, no pussy is created equal. You know, all pussies are like a snowflake. There's no two alike. You know that's true. Ah, yo, but why you gotta say that's true? Like, don't, don't, don't.

[Rory]

And that sounded so profound. You know, sometimes when someone just says something so good, you gotta agree, like, you can't even refute that. Like, I couldn't even find anything wrong with that argument too.

[Maul]

Pussies are alike. So you know, Cardi pussy.

[Rory]

What about twins?

[Maul]

Still, it's a difference. It's a difference.

[Rory]

Okay, yeah, we'll.

[Damaris]

We'll see what. What does with this Bruno feature. We'll. We'll see where she goes. We'll see what the album sounded like. But speaking of albums, Rory, before we.

[Rory]

Get there, are we ducking our Bruno smoke to close this?

[Damaris]

We're never gonna agree on that. You think that Bruno's a culture vulture? I don't think that Bruno's a culture vulture. You think that he has. He's a one trick pony? I don't believe that.

[Rory]

Do you think. No, I think his rollout with aligning himself with the ratchet chick for the last five years has been. That's cool. Everyone has their rollout thing. I'm not mad at it. I love the two Cardi records. You don't think that he hasn't. Hasn't evolved with his music? He's just skipped from genre to genre? And do you think, like, he was really like a big west coast fan growing up and this is finally his west coast era? You really like, you feel that, that.

[Damaris]

That was something west coast era. Because he has.

[Rory]

From as west as you can go.

[Maul]

He's from Hawaii, right?

[Rory]

That's west west, right?

[Damaris]

Yeah, that's the west coast sounding. He's featured on one west coast sounding song. So now he's stealing the west coast sound. If his album comes out and it's all west coast beats, do your thing. But like, yeah, if Bruno has his gnx, then okay, cool, I'm rolling with you. But he's featured on one song that has a West coast beat, and that's what's hot right now. So now he's a culture.

[Maul]

Bmx, you don't think.

[Rory]

You don't think pop artists.

[Maul]

Oh, my bad. I'm sorry.

[Rory]

Let's take Bruno out of it. You don't think pop artists jumping to whatever sound is popping at the time isn't a little culture vulturey.

[Damaris]

But Bruno doesn't jump to whatever song is popping at a time. His last album.

[Rory]

I'm at a separate point. I'm just asking.

[Damaris]

Pop means popular music. If you're going off of popular music, what's the popular sound then? No, I don't think that that's vulturing.

[Rory]

I mean, that's. That's what Elvis was doing.

[Maul]

He makes a point.

[Damaris]

No, because the music wasn't popular. He was just stealing from black, lesser known black artists. That's not popular.

[Rory]

Okay. I don't know if that west coast sound is as popular as it once was without. Not like us, but now it's. Now we're just going with it. That's not weird.

[Damaris]

But people do that all the time. Drake did that with Kanye with 808 and heartbreaks. And we said it pushed the genre forward.

[Rory]

What is the deep rooted city affiliation with dark 808s?

[Damaris]

But why does it have to be. What I understand is why does it have to be a city affiliation? The west coast isn't complaining because they've been saying y'all should be bumping a shit and they wanted more recognition for it. So why are you saying that? It's being like.

[Maul]

We've always. We've always listened to west coast music.

[Rory]

By the way, especially at the height that the west coast is and how they are rightfully so feeling. If any other rapper or artist for that matter went and did a nipsey flip right now that was not from the west coast, they would be killing him. If somebody not from LA or the Bay started making LA or Bay music right now, the whole world would kill him. But I get it. It's Bruno. So it.

[Damaris]

You keep saying Bruno, like, Sexyy Red isn't the lead artist on this song. And that's where I say that you have Bruno hate, and it's blinding.

[Rory]

So you think Sexyy Red came, came into the studio with that record and was like, yo, Bruno, this is how I want you to go. You don't think that was a Bruno Mars record that Sexy hopped on? Just be truthful.

[Damaris]

I think it might have been a throwaway and gave it to Sexy. That's what I think. But I, I. But again, Bruno's a pop artist. Pop artists take what's currently popping and they make it their own. Like I said, we all know that Bruno's albums tend to have a theme of old doo wop bop shit my aunt and I'm gonna shimmy and shake to. I don't think that this will be on Bruno's album, and I don't think that that's culture Vulture. And to make one song that's popular when you're a popular artist, I think you have. I think Bruno fucked with bitches.

[Maul]

You said Bruno with who?

[Damaris]

Bruno, one of his bitches.

[Maul]

One of whose?

[Damaris]

Rory's.

[Rory]

I'd be honored.

[Maul]

Yeah, like, we could have that.

[Rory]

Why you say like that?

[Maul]

Yeah, certain dudes, like, yo, like, we know y'all. Y'all slept with the same girl. It's like, word. Like, oh, okay. Like, I mean, cool guy.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Like, his music.

[Rory]

We both have the same taste.

[Maul]

Yeah. Got him on my fantasy team. Like, you know it. He won last week for me. Big shots. Why not? I'm not mad. It's certain dudes, though, I'm. I'll be mad at. Like, I don't want no women in common with that gentleman.

[Rory]

Like, I hear you.

[Damaris]

Like who?

[Maul]

Like who?

[Damaris]

Oh, my God. Messy Mondays.

[Rory]

Well, either way, to close it, anytime someone that's not from the culture goes and grabs a culture moment and then goes back to their culture. They're called two words.

[Maul]

But you take from this coach and go back.

[Rory]

Yeah, and then go back, right back. Go back to their Lady Gaga number one. Say school, whatever.

[Maul]

I got you. I get it.

[Rory]

He did a Bob song. I understand. I'm just trying to rile you up today.

[Damaris]

I see that. I say, but I miss you so much.

[Rory]

I was excited to have that conversation last week.

[Maul]

We missed you last week. Hopefully everything is okay. Everything is, you know, prayers to you and the family.

[Damaris]

Thank you.

[Maul]

Hopefully everybody is strong and healthy.

[Damaris]

And thank you to all the listeners who sent me well wishes. I appreciate y'all.

[Rory]

I know you. You deactivated your Twitter, right?

[Damaris]

My Twitter's been gone for a while.

[Rory]

So in the Twitter community, they, like, pinned a thing.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I saw that. I still check in on the Twitter community every once, the Twitter community and the Discord, just to make sure I know what's going on. Y'all aren't getting killed for anything. But, yeah, I saw it. I mean, so I appreciate it.

[Rory]

You don't need to check what was the.

[Maul]

What was.

[Rory]

Guarantee I can't do what you did.

[Maul]

But, like, what is that for?

[Damaris]

That's what a long weekend. Long weekend.

[Maul]

It has been a long weekend.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Maul]

My phone wouldn't stop ringing. Texting, really.

[Rory]

I was on Discord with our listeners playing my album. Oh, I had a great weekend.

[Maul]

Shout out to the listeners on Discord. Did they. Did they enjoy it?

[Rory]

Yeah, Played some snippets. I'm getting sort of close.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

And a new record will be coming out relatively soon, depending on this post fire thing. But yeah, it was fun to get some feedback, especially from people like, you know, a lot of our Discord listeners are just straight, like, hip hop heads.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So I do like playing R and B or more, you know, alternative pop shit with them to get their feedback. So it's a good time. We were there. It was Saturday night around, like midnight, and then a bunch of people missed it. So I came back in on Sunday at 3pm and replayed some of the stuff. It was a good time, though. They gave good feedback. Some people was hating, but they Bruno Mars fans.

[Maul]

Yeah, I mean, you know, that's. That's. We listen. We love to hate it.

[Rory]

Who you think will have a better album, me or Bruno?

[Maul]

I'm gonna go on a limb and say Bruno.

[Rory]

What?

[Maul]

Yeah, that's a limb on a limb. I said, I'm going on a limb. I'm going on a limb and say Bruno app a better album.

[Rory]

I might too.

[Maul]

But I do like the joints you sent me. The last record that you sent me with Freddie. And can I say I'm allowed to say it. I don't want to mess up your.

[Rory]

I mean, you could say. You could just say gives for now.

[Maul]

Okay. Yeah. The last record you sent me with him, he did his thing.

[Rory]

Very popular R B artist as well.

[Maul]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

But speaking of discord and Patreon, I think starting today. Starting starting today, Patreon will have no ads for video and get video the exact same day. So if you're listening to this audio on Tuesday, you can go to Patreon right now and get the video immediately with no ads on it, just for our $10 here.

[Maul]

Yep.

[Rory]

That was a great infomercial.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Also speaking of Patreon, we had an idea in pre production today for those that aren't on our Patreon. We did, like this Riz challenge between Meemaw and Damaris. We wrote a poem, like, on a bar napkin. And who would have the most Riz if they were shooting their shot at the club? Because Valentine's Day is on a Friday, I figured people could leave voicemails with their poems shooting at members of the podcast.

[Maul]

Oh, man, I'm about to get so much hate mail.

[Rory]

I think all of our uptown listeners are about to have Damaris's voicemail flooded. Listen, Taylor's might be the craziest, though.

[Damaris]

Whoever said, I'll do this, and the boys have no idea that I'm gonna say this. Whoever sends me the best voicemail, I'll go on a date with you. I ain't paying for it. Y'all know I don't pay for. But I will go on a date with you. Whoever sends me the best voicemail.

[Rory]

Okay, hold on. All right, now, hold on now. Maul has to match no matter what. Whatever girl sends Mall the best one, he's going on a date, and I.

[Maul]

Didn'T agree to that.

[Rory]

No, you just did. Okay, I will be the driver. I will pick everyone up. I would drive everyone home safely.

[Maul]

You go my chaperone.

[Rory]

Yeah, I wait outside double parked. I'll even put on the suit and the hat, and we can put. If they're okay with being on camera, I'll set up my phone like the Uber just to see what type of conversation y'all be having in the backseat.

[Damaris]

Okay, you got a partition.

[Maul]

What you trying to do in the back seat?

[Rory]

You haven't even heard his. His rhymes yet.

[Maul]

Like, you ain't even. Don't do that, baby. See, because now too much sexy red. That's what it is. Because Baby D digging herself in the hole, because then she gonna come in here and be like, yo, let me tell you about y'all listeners. Like, no, no, no, don't do all of that. Now and then when. When he send that nice poem and going to date with you, you gonna be upset. You're gonna be like, yo, I ain't fucking with him.

[Damaris]

I had to block his ass. You know, as long as he's cool, he got good Riz. We out. We gonna have a good time.

[Maul]

What if you wanna suck your feet, though?

[Damaris]

There's a price. Everything has a price.

[Maul]

Everything has a price. That's right, Baby D. Everything has a price. All right.

[Rory]

What's your price for the feet?

[Maul]

What the, fam. Come on. Don't disrespect me.

[Rory]

What if she want to tuck your feet?

[Maul]

I'm going home no more. A girl want to suck my.

[Damaris]

You not gonna let her big toe. Big toe only.

[Maul]

No, man.

[Rory]

After a pedicure.

[Maul]

No, man. No girl sucking my feet, man. What's up with you for the money?

[Damaris]

Times is hard.

[Maul]

Not for me. It ain't that hard. Like, I know how to sell crack. Real. It's never gonna be that hard.

[Rory]

You gotta read the fentanyl handbook now. Streets have changed.

[Maul]

I know the guidelines. As long as you know the federal guidelines, stay within the guidelines of ubi.

[Rory]

Same game, different product. That's all same eat your ass.

[Maul]

But you can't eat your ass. She can change my diaper. If she wanna change my diaper, she could do that for sure. But that's like the Peach. Peach.

[Damaris]

That's definitely Dinner with Jay Z.

[Rory]

That's.

[Maul]

That's Freedom with Jay Z. Or change my diaper. Which one? Which one y'all wanna do? Just let me know.

[Rory]

I'm gonna go. I'm gon.

[Maul]

You a hater, man.

[Rory]

I'm gonna go out on a limb for not wanting to eat your ass or going to a lunch with Jay.

[Maul]

Z. Yeah, he made it. See? Gay. Blur that out.

[Damaris]

I'm sorry.

[Maul]

I'm sorry. I gave Peach work. I'm sorry.

[Rory]

You could leave it. Okay, so to reiterate, everyone on Patreon, please leave your Valentine's Day poems. And there'll be a second tier. You won't win a date, but we can pick, like, just the best. The best. Riz. Voicemail. Like, just talking that.

[Maul]

Oh.

[Rory]

Like, kind of like your. Your phone. Not your phone sex game, because that's weird, but just, you know, your phone game.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You know, everyone got the boyfriend voice. I want to hear that type of.

[Maul]

Okay. Yeah, we might be able to do that.

[Damaris]

Sound like you got money when you talking to me, too.

[Maul]

Don't come out. Sound like you got money. How does. How does sound how does money sound?

[Damaris]

You know I know.

[Maul]

No, I want to hear you.

[Rory]

Nah, but don't do that, because homie sent you, like, 900 worth of roses.

[Maul]

Yeah, and now he blocked all kind of going on. See, that's what I'm saying.

[Rory]

Money doesn't do anything.

[Maul]

Yeah, he did. He sound like he had money. He sent you $1,000 worth of roses.

[Damaris]

I don't know what y'all talking.

[Rory]

That's money to me.

[Maul]

All right, man, see, now she don't know what we talking about. I already see where this Valentine's Day voicemail going.

[Damaris]

No, see, don't. Don't. Just don't do that.

[Maul]

Okay?

[Damaris]

We gonna bring up that happened in spaces. We can bring up that happen in spaces. Don't.

[Rory]

Don't bring up my n. What happens in spaces. That's another problem.

[Maul]

No, it don't. It always come to my phone. So. So it don't stay.

[Rory]

The space is in the phone. I'm not saying it's not your phone.

[Maul]

Listen, I know whenever any one of y'all's in spaces, I know it don't matter what I'm doing. And they come right to my phone. Rory, in spaces.

[Rory]

I know it's a notification.

[Maul]

I'm like, yo, what the. Why is everybody.

[Rory]

Well, I was in Discord way more than I was in Spaces, but.

[Maul]

Well, I mean, that's because Discord is our. That's what we do. But, like, you was.

[Rory]

And they're way cooler and nicer.

[Maul]

Yeah, it's the same.

[Rory]

They're just like better people.

[Damaris]

No, it's not the same people.

[Maul]

It's not. Was my ops in there?

[Rory]

Some. Some overlap.

[Maul]

Was my ops in the space, And I say ops. They know I love them.

[Damaris]

Was he talking about Kierra and Nene?

[Maul]

Yeah. Was my ops in there?

[Rory]

They was in there.

[Maul]

They was in there.

[Rory]

Asking some poignant questions.

[Maul]

Poignant. First of all, spell it.

[Damaris]

Spell poignant.

[Maul]

Don't say poignant.

[Damaris]

Spell poignant.

[Rory]

P, O, I, N. Nope.

[Maul]

Nope.

[Rory]

Poignant. Where was I wrong?

[Maul]

I think it's P, O, I, G, N, A, N, T. There's a G in poignant. Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying. You don't even be outside when the G's is outside.

[Rory]

See that? Moving silence like lasagna.

[Maul]

You don't recognize the G's. That's why you gotta stay in the house. You know what I'm saying?

[Damaris]

But, yeah, I look forward to the voicemail segment. Make sure you leave good ones. Cause I'm serious, Ma probably won't really go out with you. He probably gonna cancel on you like he do me, but I'm really gonna.

[Maul]

I have never canceled on you, baby. D, you went to go see how many movies after we were supposed to go to the movies? See, that's why you. That's why. See, that's why.

[Damaris]

That's why what?

[Maul]

That's why you don't love me no more. See, it's all good. It's all good.

[Rory]

Would they have to pick the spot, or would you guys pick the spot?

[Damaris]

I have them picked. I'm not gonna do that.

[Maul]

Don't do that.

[Rory]

Gas is crazy right now.

[Maul]

Do that, because as soon as one of these dudes pick a spot that you don't like, you gonna come in here with an attitude and want to talk crazy about them. No, but you pick the spot.

[Damaris]

I'm not doing that. You can send me a list of spots, and I'll pick one from there. You don't do that, because when somebody.

[Maul]

You send him the list of spots.

[Damaris]

When somebody is taking you on a date, you let them pick, because people have different price points for things. I'm not.

[Maul]

No, but I'm not. Don't, don't, don't. You ain't got to go to no Michelin star spot. Like you would go to a nice spot that you like.

[Damaris]

But that's why I'm. I want to give them the chance to pick the spot.

[Rory]

What about, first of all, no, no. The bill is on the company. Champagne complimentaries of the. Of the company, so.

[Damaris]

Oh, it is. Oh, we going to El Molino.

[Maul]

That's your spot.

[Rory]

All right. If that's the case, I'm not waiting outside. I'm gonna get a table for one next to y'all. Yeah, I'm definitely eating if we gonna.

[Maul]

Debron Zino is incredible.

[Damaris]

Yeah, we gonna El Molino for sure, but I wanted to see, like, what their riz of. You know, how they pay for the bill? Like pulling out my company card to pay for the bill.

[Rory]

I'll give. Well, no, I don't want to give them the car.

[Damaris]

They write exactly.

[Maul]

Well, no, we not.

[Damaris]

You going to do, like, mall and pay from the rafters.

[Rory]

Yeah, maybe I'll do that.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

Bear's going to have me in flatlands or some other. Yeah, you picked the restaurant.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I think.

[Rory]

Where are you taking Shorty?

[Maul]

I don't know. Somewhere nice.

[Rory]

She don't even know. She going back to the crib.

[Maul]

No, no, no.

[Rory]

You love. You love that hook, Cece.

[Maul]

No, no, I did Not. I did not. I did not.

[Rory]

Incredible.

[Damaris]

Incredible hook.

[Maul]

Incredible hook.

[Rory]

Just in retrospect, just change a few words.

[Maul]

Different. The world was different. Was different. We got to give grace to these artists when they made records. When the world was different.

[Rory]

Chris Brown smoked that hook.

[Maul]

Yeah. Incredible.

[Rory]

It was a master class in vocals. But Joelle should have been like, I don't know, man. Maybe she should know that she's going back to the crib.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I'm gonna tell her.

[Rory]

She already knows she going back to the crib, right? She already knows. Well, even that could be his bro.

[Maul]

You know what?

[Rory]

Change the concept of the song.

[Maul]

It's nothing better than when you didn't know that she wanted to come back to the crib.

[Rory]

Oh, my God.

[Maul]

Like, when you be like, yo, you gonna. You come chill. And then she hit. Hit the trunk and she got her bag in the trunk. Oh, my God. Or when she gets you to it.

[Rory]

Like, yo, you wanna like that? Because, you know, men, we don't pick up on cues a lot. Like, we don't really know sometimes when a girl actually likes us and has already made a decision in her head that she's gonna.

[Maul]

Us.

[Rory]

Yeah, that surprise. There's no. There's no other greater feeling.

[Maul]

Yeah, but it's better. I mean, it don't even have to be the fact that she's an adult Christmas and not even sex if she just want to spend the night.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, let's.

[Maul]

Let's. We could chill, like, you know, I love that type of shit. Like, oh, you okay? She comfortable here. It's a safe space. The energy is very calm and inviting. Good. Relax. You know what I'm saying? She could tell I got clean sheets. You know what I'm saying? Like, sofa don't stink. You know what I mean? That type of shit.

[Damaris]

Sofas be stink. I'm so happy that.

[Maul]

Cause niggas asses be stink. That's why she. Damn right the sofa stink. That's.

[Rory]

That's.

[Maul]

That's.

[Rory]

Cause their friends invite over therapists with jeans that leak.

[Maul]

Hey, look, you keep going to that. You keep going.

[Rory]

I see it every day in my couch. I can't forget it.

[Damaris]

But that don't mean his ass stank. Maybe the jeans just.

[Rory]

That was. That's a. Definitely a combo of cheap jeans and sweaty ass. And don't. Come on. He look like he.

[Damaris]

Wow, you're mean. As.

[Rory]

If I smell. I've smelled funky before. Someone tell me. Yeah, but if I leave a stain on your couch denim ass print, then.

[Damaris]

I think he just had brand new jeans on, and you have a white couch. They were brand new black jeans, and you have a white couch.

[Rory]

It takes some condensation or moisture somewhere in there.

[Damaris]

That's not true because you ain't never. You haven't never been dancing or. Well, you're not a girl as a girl. I've danced on a guy before when I was in, like, high school or middle school, and he had new jeans on and I had a color on and I had the jeans all over. It doesn't mean it happens.

[Maul]

That means y'all was, like, eight songs in. That only happens. It says it on the tag inside of jeans. You can't grind for more than seven records.

[Rory]

Yeah, that was some high school party. I'm trying to finger her.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

Eight songs type of thing.

[Maul]

Y'all was in the back by the speaker. Like, I know where you was at. Grinding.

[Rory]

He found a wall, too, so he's.

[Maul]

Comfortable when the die fade. Yo, y'all, come on, fam. Take a break. Call the time out. Eight songs and relax.

[Rory]

Like, once I find the wall, I'm good for eight songs.

[Maul]

Yeah, as a kid. No, wall two, that was like. That was before sex. That was like the first sex.

[Damaris]

And was playing the whole song. It wasn't back when they switched me.

[Maul]

No mix the high school DJ ain't.

[Rory]

No the high school playing off the now cd.

[Maul]

Man, listen, my high school DJ was the gym teacher. How about that?

[Rory]

That checks out.

[Maul]

He just bought his equipment. I'm like, what is.

[Rory]

No, that was. No, that's really who he was. You guys saw him as. As his representative.

[Maul]

Yo, nothing was.

[Rory]

He was always dj, mix it up.

[Maul]

Nothing was better than your teacher coming in, like, to the school party, like, when they not dressed as a teacher.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah.

[Maul]

He'd be like, yo, what you know about those? Like, they had some sneakers on.

[Rory]

That was the best senior teachers in, like, civilians was.

[Maul]

That was the greatest ever. The greatest ever seeing your teacher civilian clothes. Speaking of Valentine's Day coming up. Flowers, sending each other flowers. I'm here today.

[Damaris]

Oh, God. How you even make that segue that you wanted them flowers so bad? That shit don't even.

[Maul]

Because I need them. I need them. I need my flowers.

[Rory]

You can borrow some I just got from the Bruno Combo.

[Maul]

I need my flowers. I need my flowers. So last week on the show, I brought up the fact that, you know, women who are driving Uber or, like, you know, they should not be driving late at night. They shouldn't be picking up strange people late at night. It's not safe. It's dangerous.

[Rory]

They should be in the kitchen raising the kids.

[Maul]

Nah, I mean, they should be home comfortable, sewing. I don't know. They should just not be picking up random strange people at night. I don't think it's safe. I don't think it's safe for women to do that. So y'all laughed at me. I think Peach is the only one that agreed with me. But when I went home this weekend, a lot of people were hitting me up, sending me things. One of our followers, she works for, I think, tech for Lyft. She works in the tech department at Lyft. And she said, hey, I heard the episode today, and Lyft actually does have. Have a feature where female passengers can switch on to only have female drivers. And I was like, oh, I didn't know that. I never scrolled that into that section. Settings and all of that.

[Damaris]

I wasn't aware to even.

[Maul]

To even know that that was a thing.

[Rory]

Al Maul's a creep because he's gonna go change his settings.

[Maul]

You think I want a female driver?

[Damaris]

No, I don't think they would give you that.

[Rory]

Wait, but how would they. How would you verify?

[Damaris]

Give him that option as a male?

[Maul]

Why not? They should. You don't want a female driver. Not saying women can't drive. I just don't feel comfortable if I'm.

[Damaris]

No, but I don't think you can turn off female drivers. I think you can only turn on to only have female drivers if you're a female.

[Rory]

But how would they verify that? And like in these trying times, we're not allowed to.

[Damaris]

When you sign up, you give your sex and you post your picture.

[Rory]

Well, now they're gonna lie on their account.

[Damaris]

Yeah, people do.

[Maul]

There's only two genders in America now, so, brother, it's either one or the other. Which one are you?

[Rory]

I just don't think women should be able to work or vote. How about we just go that way?

[Maul]

Well, I mean, I'm not going to say all of that, but. And then another person sent me and it's an app available, I think in Las Vegas now. A new app where it's only for women. A ride share app, Female drivers, and I believe female passengers only.

[Damaris]

I'm cool with that as long as they are doing their due. Like, I want photos of IDs, because the majority of the people who set women up for sex trafficking be other women. So that's why it's like, just, let's.

[Rory]

Not get lanes out there.

[Damaris]

Yeah, but I mean, That S is silent, baby.

[Rory]

Yes, I, I, so, so is the entire case.

[Maul]

So are the victims.

[Rory]

Can't even break. Where is she? Where?

[Maul]

Jail. What jail? I know homies in there. Nobody see her come through the gate.

[Rory]

I just talked to Prima adx. She's not in there. There's only one jail she should be in.

[Maul]

What jail is Ghislaine walking in? That's all I'm saying. We hear. Yeah, prison time. Do we ever actually see them in prison, though? Like, I think it's one of those just to take your ass here, stay off the grid. You can't have a phone, you can't have. I don't think that lady's in jail, but either way, so yes, it's rideshare apps that are for women only to try to keep women safe when they're ordering cars at night or during the day. Just to keep women safe. So I wasn't wrong there. Need my flaws for that. And not only that.

[Rory]

We knew that existed, by the way.

[Maul]

Oh, I didn't know that. So you should have put me on. Not only that, I said that Instacart. I said that men should not be allowed to grocery shop on Instacart.

[Damaris]

Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. And they thought I was gonna come in here and disagree with you. A fucking greed.

[Maul]

Agreed.

[Damaris]

I asked this nigga for heavy whipping cream and he got me coffee creamer. I hate him, I swear to God.

[Maul]

Now what do you know, baby D? I go to the grocery store Friday, I forget some things. Little bananas, blueberries, things for my smoothies in the morning. I'm like, damn, forgot. So I said, you know what? Let me Instacart something real quick. Just some, just some fruits and stuff like that. Simple. I thought about our episode and I laughed to myself. I said, God has a sense of humor. Watch whatever I order. They give me a mail delivery person and he goes and just grabs whatever he wants. I ordered very simple order. I ordered blueberries, I ordered pineapples, ordered bananas, and I ordered some milk. Right? Very simple. Instead of the bananas, this nigga brings me six of the biggest plantains I've ever seen in my life. I mean, no, you don't mean, no.

[Damaris]

You don't mean a fucking.

[Maul]

You don't mean nothing. Who the fuck don't know the difference between tomato, tomato, bananas, and some fucking bruised up plantains? Who don't know the difference?

[Damaris]

That shit would have pissed me off.

[Maul]

So now I got six plantains that I gotta fry all week. I gotta, I'm eating.

[Rory]

Cause they can't go to waste.

[Maul]

They can't go to waste. Nobody. I'm not wasting. Wasting plants. We don't waste no plants.

[Damaris]

Meanwhile, you still gotta go get bananas.

[Maul]

Still had to go get bananas. Cause now I don't have the bananas for my smoothies in the morning. And then I go to Uber Eats. Now I'm on my camera. I'm filing a complaint. I'm taking pictures of the plantings. I'm doing all kind of trying to get my money back. And here goes. Chad, GBT, Uber. Oh, we're sorry to hear that. We've added 275 to your account. These wasn't 275, though. I paid more than 275 stuff for these planters that I didn't order. Yeah, but I wasn't mad because they was almost ripe. So they, you know, I could eat them, I could fry them, but I didn't ask for that.

[Damaris]

That is awful. And then.

[Maul]

And a woman would have never made that mistake.

[Damaris]

No.

[Maul]

Never.

[Damaris]

It's men. It's like they just don't give Male Instacart driver. They just don't give a. And then what I really hate is when. Because they do this with Uber. They do this with Doordash when it's a woman's picture. But I know a is delivering my order because I'm watching him pick up, up. Yo, I ordered chicken thighs. They didn't have them. They didn't have chicken thighs.

[Maul]

He bought legs.

[Damaris]

This put a steak in the cart. Pissed me, bro. I said, there's no way this is a woman. This is not Daniela, bruh. Bruh.

[Maul]

He gave a whole new animal, yo. I mean, he kept it in. You know me. He kept the food. Charlie last. She need a protein. I'm gonna get me.

[Rory]

I mean, the T check checks the list right here.

[Maul]

It's right. Steak is.

[Rory]

Doesn't it allow you, like, if they don't have something, you can replace it.

[Damaris]

I can replace it. So I just looked because he naturally replaced it with a steak, and you got to have your phone box.

[Maul]

Don't say naturally. That ain't a natural replacement.

[Damaris]

Yeah, he didn't naturally.

[Rory]

Not even, like, on the same side of the. The.

[Maul]

Not even the same animal. What are we talking about?

[Damaris]

Was $10 more expensive? You ain't even give me a cheap steak. No. Usda.

[Rory]

He thought he was doing you a favor.

[Maul]

Yeah, he got you that prime cut.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Like, what the.

[Rory]

He's trying to show you how he live. That's all.

[Damaris]

Bro, that had me so tight. So you Know when you.

[Rory]

If you get with him, this is how you're gonna eat every night.

[Damaris]

Oh, okay.

[Maul]

Prime steak. Prime.

[Damaris]

But it had a one. It said, I was talking to Daniella. I'm like, I'm on the phone with my friend. I'm like, I know this ain't no woman. No woman did this. Sure enough, a man shows up at my door, drops my orders off. Didn't knock on my door, didn't ring my doorbell, drops my orders off at the door, and left.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I'm just sitting up here like, well, where's my order? Saying my order been delivered? It's out there sitting on the porch with the squirrels. I agree with you. Men should not be instacart.

[Maul]

Men should not be instacart drivers.

[Damaris]

They're terrible, bro.

[Maul]

They are the. They will have. They will bring steak when you order chicken. I. I have no plantains when you ordered organic bananas.

[Rory]

I'm even with some knowledge of cooking. If I get a grocery list, I'm struggling through it to find the exact right thing. Like, it takes me a while with a list. Yeah, sometimes, like, you have. Not everything's always labeled. Sometimes parsley and. And cilantro looks alike.

[Maul]

I can guarantee you parsley and cilantro is labeled as parsley and cilantro.

[Rory]

Yeah, Sometimes it's not.

[Maul]

No, it is.

[Damaris]

They have the band around it that say parsley and cilantro.

[Rory]

No, sometimes that. With the water mist, like, scrubs off.

[Maul]

But even they don't have the label on the. On the shelf.

[Rory]

Sometimes they don't. So I feel the Instacart people.

[Maul]

You don't know.

[Damaris]

You don't do instacart, and no man should.

[Maul]

Yeah, no man should do instacart. I'm a firm believer. No man should be working instacart. That is a woman. That is. Leave that for the women. The women know how to shop. They know exactly what to get, and they're great at picking a replacement if what you ordered is not available. They're like, okay, this is a good replacement right here.

[Rory]

I always just have the issue with avocados. Like, I want to have them today. Give me a ripe avocado.

[Maul]

Yeah. That's why you know how to pick avocados.

[Rory]

Hell, yeah. It's one of my favorite foods.

[Maul]

How do you pick it? I don't know what that was.

[Damaris]

Squeeze you like you're giving it a mammogram.

[Maul]

Ah. You're supposed to just rub the. It's supposed to feel like.

[Rory]

No, I gotta. I gotta feel the Pressure. So I know.

[Maul]

Squeeze the avocado.

[Rory]

I'm not like. It's not a death grip, right? It breaks, but yeah.

[Maul]

Now you're just supposed to feel the texture of it. If it feels smoother, if it's supposed.

[Rory]

To feel like it's an avocado, not a clit. Like you just gotta feel.

[Maul]

No, but it's one and the same. When you open it, doesn't it look like a clit? It look like a.

[Rory]

Right, I mean, I see where you're trying to take this.

[Maul]

If you cut an avocado.

[Damaris]

So tell me.

[Maul]

If you cut an avocado in half and the seed is right there. Once you take the seed out, you know how it's like the indentation is right there, and then you got the top of the avocado right there. It looked like the little hood, the hoodie, you know, you gotta pull the hoodie back and the clip pop out like a pearl.

[Rory]

I could never find that shit, so I wouldn't know.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So I should be looking for the avocado.

[Damaris]

When I open those avocados, just pissed open those curtains.

[Maul]

Yeah. You're supposed to feel the texture. It's supposed to feel smooth and like leather. It's supposed to feel like a good leather. That's how you know it's right when it feels like a good leather jacket, a good pele. Throw that on in the cart and let's get up out of here.

[Rory]

No wonder he make chicks come the moment they take their pants off. I understand, though. Yeah.

[Maul]

You gotta act like Ray Charles. You just gotta feel everything. That's all texture.

[Rory]

So where do we draw the line? What other jobs can men and women not do? Do? Head of fire departments.

[Maul]

I think that's a man's job.

[Damaris]

What?

[Maul]

I don't trust a woman running into fire.

[Rory]

Why?

[Damaris]

Why?

[Maul]

I don't. I don't.

[Rory]

All right, let's go. Let's go.

[Maul]

If I. If I'm in a fire, God forbid, I'm in a building in this blazing, and I'm like. And I'm trying to find a window, and I find a window, and all the male firefighters yell, she's on her way up. I'm gonna. I know, I'm dead.

[Rory]

Like, you trying to scale what floor? Like, if I jump, I might just break a leg.

[Maul]

At that point when they say, she's on her way, way up, fam. What's she gonna do, fam? I'm. I'm gonna be carrying her out of.

[Rory]

Here with the mask. And you can't even tell all Right. When it comes to cops and firefighters, would you rather the out of shape fat man that they hire often or like the super in shape dyke that's ready to go? That. That will throw.

[Damaris]

She gotta be.

[Rory]

That will throw. I'm just making point. Not all women, but I'm. We know the dykes. The ones that love you.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

They could throw me over their shoulder. I'm taking her way over that fat cop that sits there on his phone.

[Maul]

All right, what am I.

[Rory]

Can't wait.

[Maul]

What am I calling the cops for? What's the. What' what's going on?

[Rory]

No, you're just. You're in danger in. In the subway system.

[Maul]

I'm in danger in the subway system?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

What kind of does. Does the perpetrator have a weapon?

[Rory]

Sure.

[Maul]

I mean, at that point, anybody with a gun, I'll do. I don't care man or woman. Just somebody get hit with a gun.

[Rory]

Okay. You're in London, so there's no guns. Hand to hand combat.

[Maul]

Yeah. I'm gonna take a dyke.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Over fat old shape. Yeah. Give me a. Give me a. Give me one of them. Them. She gotta have a fade, too.

[Rory]

100%.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah. I don't like the dykes with hair. Like. Give me the fade. Like the buzz cut dyke. Where it's like, is you or is you not? What are you.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Is you or is you not?

[Maul]

Yeah. You know, you confused on what they are. Yeah. Give me one of those. Yeah.

[Rory]

She drives a pickup truck, but the flatbed's always empty.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

Only listens to chic.

[Maul]

Smells good. Yeah. But she has a.

[Damaris]

Or a very flamboyant gay man. Cause they could fight.

[Maul]

Oh, I know.

[Rory]

Well, how you know?

[Maul]

I went to school with a bunch of gay dudes, and one of the. One of the gay dudes that was like, super flamboyant. I saw him. Like, we got into a fight one day, like. Well, not me, but like, people from my school was getting into a fight. He was kicking ass.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Maul]

He was throwing niggas all over Lenox Avenue, yo. He was tossing niggas all over the place. I said, yo, y'all forgot he was still a dude, Right?

[Rory]

And the disadvantage with the gay fighters that really got hands is they don't have the same rules. So if a chick try to pop in to break it up, he's knocking shorty the fuck out too. Where we can't do that. It's unfair rules.

[Maul]

Yeah, but I don't like to see that, because then. Now I gotta say something to him now you're homophobic. You're already seven knockouts in, and I gotta calm him down. Cause he just hit a girl. That means everybody getting fucked.

[Rory]

Yo, give me the scenario where you calm down the flaming gay guy after knocking six people out.

[Maul]

You just yell, sephora's on sale. And I think they.

[Rory]

I would run, too. Yo, you want to go together? Want to split the points? We use my email, and I got a discount.

[Maul]

Oh, man. Oh. Oh, my God.

[Damaris]

Yo.

[Maul]

Yo, why y'all was in spaces, though? Like, why would. Why were y'all in spaces? Y'all never text my phone and be like, yo, we going to. We in spaces tonight.

[Damaris]

I haven't been in spaces. I don't have a Twitter. I just see people posting stuff after because I check.

[Maul]

Okay, not you. You safe. You safe right now. Because you don't have a Twitter.

[Rory]

I don't got a Twitter. It works for her. Thought I could get out of it.

[Maul]

She actually doesn't have her Twitter activated.

[Damaris]

You active as.

[Maul]

Yeah, you active? Active. Active.

[Rory]

Oh, so someone must have switched, like, switched that back on.

[Maul]

I said, you know, a lot of people.

[Rory]

We got a socials team. You know, people got my password now. I don't know what they'd be doing.

[Maul]

To be fair, I don't know nothing you said. I didn't hear it. I didn't click on nothing. I just got the. The email to my phone saying Rory is in space is going crazy.

[Rory]

You got push notifications for me?

[Maul]

Yeah, of course.

[Rory]

Oh, thanks.

[Maul]

I gotta. I gotta make sure we. The company is safe. Anything?

[Rory]

Google alerts saying Rory's going crazy in space.

[Maul]

Yeah, Rory is in space is going crazy. I said, oh, man.

[Rory]

No, I've gone crazy in spaces. I didn't.

[Maul]

So you kept it. It was. Yeah, okay. I didn't listen. So I'm just asking you.

[Rory]

Demir, Demore.

[Damaris]

Demure.

[Rory]

Demure. Right. Right in the middle.

[Damaris]

That. Like a ghetto child.

[Maul]

Yeah. So you kept it very. Yeah. All right. Because it's a new listen. The year just started, man.

[Rory]

That's classy.

[Maul]

Yeah, please, man. Let's keep it classy. Let's, you know, good energy.

[Rory]

I was again on Discord playing my album.

[Maul]

There you go.

[Damaris]

We keep it a classy all year.

[Maul]

All year. Yes.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Maul]

Let's keep it classy all year. Why not?

[Damaris]

Okay. I just want to make sure we sent. Since we setting the tone for the year, we're going into February, which is the real start of the year, because January is just a bunch of resolutions. We ain't keep Up.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Start February, start a new year. We, we listen, I'm going to say.

[Rory]

The same thing in March, you know, February. And everyone knows March is the start of the year.

[Maul]

Yeah. February is the shortest month. We don't really count that.

[Rory]

You guys believe this Western tradition of time? I don't. It starts in March. Yeah, that's the Chinese.

[Maul]

I like to keep it, you know, like let's. Let's keep it. Everything don't have to be a soap opera.

[Damaris]

Okay. You going to stop tweeting laughing emojis?

[Maul]

Oh, I'm always laugh. They want me. They want me to laugh, though. You don't want me to do nothing but laugh, first of all.

[Rory]

Well, your laughing emoji is my version of spaces. No, but you leave, you leave more room for speculation because they're always time. Like, yo Maul's laughing at a specific time every time.

[Maul]

Yeah, because I'm, I just, I read things.

[Rory]

You saw your instacart and was like, lol.

[Maul]

He has planted on the way. I'll laugh. Because it's like, what else am I gonna do? You know, I'm gonna start going back and forth with these nondescript ass niggas. Like, I'm not doing that.

[Damaris]

Nondescript?

[Maul]

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not like, I'm just. Listen, man, I'm in a whole different zone, man. Like, whoever want to say whatever, y'all have a ball, man. Say whatever y'all want to say.

[Rory]

I mean, sometimes it's fun to argue on spaces. Keeps you sharp.

[Maul]

Yeah, but I mean, different perspectives. Yeah, but my thing is, I would.

[Rory]

Think you're serious when you're yelling and you're actually not and you're actually lol ing in your head.

[Maul]

Yeah, no, I'll do that a lot, but I just think that sometimes, you know, it's. You get caught up in this cycle of, you know, he said, she said, then he responded, she responded, then they responded to the respawn and this talking. Yeah, but I just, I don't, I don't think that's what this is supposed to be, though. I just, I just think it's kind of corny and kind of played out to have these back and forths on platforms and shit like that. It's like, like we know, we. We know the situation. I know that, you know, sometimes public perception can be, you know, twisted and altered a little bit by people saying things, but so what? Even if we go out and do a two hour spaces and talk about everything, there's still gonna Be people that still believe whatever they wanna believe.

[Rory]

Of course, you're rarely changing anyone's mind.

[Maul]

You're not changed. So what am I? Why would I waste my time? Why would I waste my energy? I just love seeing everything that I said was gonna happen come to fruition. Come to fruition and play out the way.

[Rory]

Some flowers there, for sure.

[Maul]

I just love seeing that. That's why I was laughing.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Maul]

Cause it's kinda like when you knew how the movie was gonna end, and then it ends that way.

[Rory]

Gotcha.

[Maul]

You. Like, I knew this was gonna. It's the same thing. That's why I'm laughing.

[Rory]

So. So you're essentially saying this back and forth. Pod beefs. Like, that was our last album. Like, y'all still. Y'all just catching up to that sound.

[Maul]

Yeah. That's like asking. We keep doing Purple Rain. It's like, fam. We not doing that again.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I'm not gonna keep making the purple.

[Rory]

We gave you graduation. Now we have to.

[Maul]

We moving on, man.

[Rory]

Start humming.

[Maul]

Yeah, everybody go do your thing. Have fun. Create your spaces, your podcast, your shows. Whatever you want to do. Live life, Go do it, man. Just please, please, whatever you do, make sure we don't cross paths.

[Rory]

That's fair.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Maul]

That's it. Just leave it there.

[Rory]

You don't cross a lot of paths, though.

[Maul]

I don't. It's a reason for that. When people ask me why I don't go out, why I don't go here, why. Cause there's certain people I don't want to see because then I'm the bad guy. You roll your phone going, yo, your man Maul went crazy, yo. He violated. He fucked up the whole event. I'm not trying to wanna do that. That.

[Rory]

I mean, I don't want you to do that either. But, yeah, that's what I would smile at. That Google alert that I get in my car, I go get your Bell money. But there would be a. A little warmth in my heart.

[Maul]

Yeah, man. But it's not.

[Rory]

I'd be smiling on my way to the precinct. I'll put it that way.

[Maul]

Yeah. But then I would be mad. As soon as I'm in cuffs, I'll be like, that's just why I stay home. Because you can't. I. I'm from. I'm just different, man. I don't play the. You know, the disrespect back and forth for entertainment. This. Which is why I sit here and I try to be cognizant of not disrespecting anybody. Now if you take my views on an album or a. As disrespect as an artist, I understand that too. But it's like that goes a different way. That's not gonna be a physical thing. Now when you talking about just some, like I said, some nondescript person that has something to say. Again, I'm not playing this. The game you're playing. So when I see you, I'm not. I hate playing defense. Was never good on defense.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Maul]

I'd rather strike first and hit with the concept. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shoot first, I'd rather be that person. So to avoid that, you know, as being mature adults in the situation and having a responsible platform and people whose lives that, you know, have to make sure in good hands and good situations and positive energy. Let me stay home. Let me watch my Netflix. Let me watch my, you know, fire.

[Rory]

Stick Instacart map instacart all wrong.

[Maul]

But fuck it, we gonna make one fried plantains for nine days. You know what I'm saying? Like, leave me there.

[Rory]

I mean, I couldn't even get angry over the weekend. You can't get mad listening to a Teddy Swims album. Like it's impossible to have rage when Teddy's playing in the background.

[Maul]

That's a fact.

[Rory]

Did you listen to. I did, I did part two of his first album. What'd you think?

[Maul]

I like Teddy Swims. I think he's a very, very unique artist. He has a old kind of like tone, like an old school tone. Old school texture to his. Very soulful. But I think I like. I don't know if I. I'm still kind of indifferent about. About Teddy Swims a little bit.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Maul]

Like, his music is good, he makes good albums. But I just don't know if I'm all the way brought in on the Teddy Swims brand. Yeah, I like him though.

[Rory]

I definitely liked. I've tried everything with Therapy Part one better. But I also think he was in a weird position because right now while we're recording this, Lose Control is still what, number seven on the Hot 100 billboard from his first album. Yeah, like he hasn't even been able to move on yet. Cuz I mean that's. That's like a old music industry rule. Like if you have a song charting, stop. Like we're going to work there.

[Maul]

Let it. Let continue to work it.

[Rory]

It's. They've stopped working it and it's still number seven. Like that's insane. So I feel like he kind of had to attach this second album to the first one, cuz. The first single from the first album. Still there. Like, how am I going to chart off my first single? That's still there, right? He went a little. A little more poppy, I think, on this one. I do love, love the Givon record. I think that's incredible. Are you even real Damaris? I don't know if you listen, but love that title.

[Damaris]

I haven't had the chance to, but I do, I do want to listen.

[Rory]

Teddy Swims, Coco Jones and Glorilla. She got it.

[Damaris]

Wait, the Coco Jones and Glorilla was also on my album on Patreon.

[Maul]

That's funny.

[Damaris]

Look at me.

[Maul]

A and R. Yeah, but you ain't had Teddy.

[Damaris]

I ain't have Teddy. I had Mac Miller, though.

[Maul]

You gotta. No, but that was your writer. You're the block captain too.

[Rory]

All the whites aren't the same.

[Maul]

Oh, sorry, you're not.

[Rory]

Yeah, we are.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

But no, I. I did like it again. I think he's in a weird position where it's one of those.

[Maul]

He's a prisoner of a song.

[Rory]

Yeah, it's. It's kind of what we had talked about with Steve Lacy. Like sometimes success, not a bad thing. But it can hold up your progression and what you're trying to do because everyone's still living in the moment of this song. But I think it was a good follow up. I'm excited to see once he can put out an album that isn't completely different.

[Maul]

Yeah. Yeah. But I like Teddy. I think he sees an amazing artist, great voice. He probably should have been on Damaris list over Marvin Sapp, but that's for another.

[Damaris]

Like, why you gotta.

[Rory]

Teddy Swims, baby.

[Maul]

That Marvin Sapphire tickles me to this day.

[Damaris]

Acting like Marvin Sapp can't sing. That's so amazing to me.

[Maul]

See, you like, you do this a lot. Nobody ever said Marvin Sapp can't sing. Greatest voices of all time, baby. He got one record that you love. One.

[Damaris]

But that doesn't. It's not one record that I love. But that doesn't mean that I can't acknowledge his talent. No one song that I love, I still acknowledge his talent.

[Maul]

Talented, talented guy. Great voice. Greatest vocalist of all time list, though. You know music better than that. I think you was just like, yo, it.

[Damaris]

He was my bonus pick, though. Like, he was my bonus pick. I wanted a gospel singer and he was my bonus pick.

[Maul]

Respect. Okay.

[Rory]

All right.

[Maul]

See, See, when they go to Jesus, you can't argue when you go to God.

[Rory]

Kelly Price on there, it was a.

[Damaris]

Lack it was a male vocalist.

[Maul]

Vocalist list. Yeah. Male vocalist.

[Rory]

Also black and white. Teddy Swims and money Long is crazy too. There's some joints on here I think you'd like a lot to Maris. I'm gonna have to check it out some. Some leaned a little too pop for me, but. But I get it. But outside of that, on my way here, when I didn't have Amara, I was throwing on that IDNT rap.

[Damaris]

Oh.

[Rory]

Oh, my God. I was across the pond all weekend.

[Maul]

I'm gonna go ahead and say it, man. I was very, very surprised at how much I enjoyed the S that is Fire. Like, I really enjoyed that Central C album.

[Damaris]

It's.

[Maul]

And I like, like, I, I, I recognize Central C. I know obviously he's, you know, he's lit, he's hot. He's popping right now. So I kind of thought it was that. And I was, I was saying, let me. I want to hear his project. Let me hear what a full Central Seat album sounds like. So I know he. It's the Drill energy, the drums and all of that. So I knew what to expect with.

[Rory]

The music, which gets redundant and boring to me a lot.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I'll admit it. I know a bunch of American music critics think everything across the pond is great and better. It took me a while to get into UK rap. Like, out the sound. Cool. I liked that before. I liked the accent with bars. It did take me a while. So I think it was a Central C and Dave project where I really started to like Central C more. But I felt like, all right, he's being balanced out by Dave. And I prefer Dave over Central C. So I was going, Dave is a better rapper.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I was going into this, like, can he carry a whole fucking project with probably the same fucking 808 on everything? And I. I had whatever the British term of foot in my mouth. What would they say? Rothschild in your mouth? Something.

[Maul]

Hey, yo, crumpets in your teeth. I don't know.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

I did finish. Finish your bangers and mash. I did.

[Maul]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

I really, really liked it. I think it's that he was actually saying some. That I kind of forgot that this was the same beat every time with a different sample.

[Maul]

But.

[Rory]

But the production, as it was repetitive. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be with a lot of Drill. Not just UK drill. Drill in general.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But this shit.

[Maul]

No, I'm with you. I was very surprised at what he did. The album is a really good listen. I listened to it, I think twice. But yeah, it sounded good. I was expecting a drill, but even the music wasn't as. It was better than I anticipated it being. And then, you know, the song structure, actually, you know, the content, what he's talking about. Kind of had a guess of what I thought it was gonna be. Surprised me there was talking about some different things. I'm surprised, but I'm actually, you know, I'm happy about what I heard. Like, I'm not mad. So you see, Sounds like he's not just here for a quick moment. He sounds like he's taking this serious. He sounds like he's really trying to get better as an artist. I'm very, very happy with what he did with this album.

[Rory]

Ironically too. I figured I would like the featured records more because I like a balance out with UK rappers. Top Freestyle and Now We're Strangers are probably my favorite with no features on it at all. But I mean, CRG with Dave is great. GPT G GP See, I can't even spell that with 21. Savage is really, really good.

[Maul]

It was one song he had on this. Yeah.

[Rory]

How do we feel about Truth in the Lies with Lil Durk? Now I think I understand why my pops would suck his teeth at certain rap records I would listen to that had a sample from when he was a kid and just be like, all right, man. When that Neo so sick came on, I was like, all right, man.

[Damaris]

I didn't mind it.

[Rory]

I didn't either. I went in in the first. Like. Yeah, when you first hit Dirk on this. And then all of a sudden, Dirk slid on. That show was like, okay. They did it justice.

[Maul]

It wasn't bad. It was cool. I was really. I'm again, I was really surprised at how much I liked album. I was not expecting to like a C album as much as I like.

[Rory]

This one Little baby that should have been on his project.

[Maul]

Yeah, I wasn't mad at it. He did a good job. He did a really good job.

[Rory]

But he did get into like a little bit of in it beef. What do you mean he. I wouldn't say. He took a shot. I believe it was on no introductions. Are you familiar with the rapper H from the uk? So he said, oh, no, it was on Five Star. I'm sorry. Said I felt like a pr. I felt like a prick. Was that close. I felt like a prick.

[Damaris]

Regular. Regular.

[Rory]

Just say, I felt like a little bit of prick. Sound like you sound a little bit of prick. When I went to the Brit and they gave it to a guy said, itch.

[Maul]

You sound like, you got Novocaine in.

[Rory]

Your tongue in the uk doesn't sound like they have peanut butter in their mouth all the time. Okay, fine. I felt like a prick when I went to the Brits, which is like, what, their Grammys, I assume. Yeah, like their Juno Awards. They gave the award to a guy called H. So he replied with a diss record. I mean, I would do the same thing. I don't think it was like a shot shot. I think it was just Central C being a little disappointed that he didn't get an award. But if you say my name, that could come across as a little bit of hate. Yeah, so absolutely. I like it.

[Maul]

Especially when you say some guy. Like, oh, no, guy.

[Rory]

Like, you mean some guy you didn't say. At least it went to a talented rapper. Like, yeah.

[Maul]

Or just like, yo, I thought I would have won, but they gave it to H. Like, okay, cool. Some guys where the disrespect comes in.

[Rory]

Like, no, that's warranted for.

[Maul]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

And the Brits are so polite with everything they do. Like, he went out of his way.

[Maul]

To say something negative, and I believe H already responded. He dropped a track called out a.

[Rory]

A guy called. I like it too. I think it was a good, like, check the temperature. He didn't say anything crazy. Just rapped really well and. And threw. Yeah, threw some shots in there. I do think it warrants, without question a Central C response.

[Maul]

I mean, I think obviously Central C is, you know, he wants that. When you throw a shot like that, some guy called H or a guy called H, you gotta understand that as a rapper, you have to protect your, your, your, your, your skillset, and you have to be willing to put your skill set on the table when the MC does something like that. So I think that Central Cee knows that H was going to respond and obviously knows that. But I like it if it's going to stay just as a sparring, if they going to just go at each other on wax and, you know, that's.

[Rory]

Cool, C. I mean, Cee commented on his Instagram, I think this is friendlier than we think it is. He commented with a laughing emoji, a fire emoji, and then said, fair enough. Yeah, to me it was like, all right, cool. You had the right to reply.

[Maul]

I respect that.

[Rory]

But C can't just, just. He's too good of a rapper with the new generation. He can't just do the Instagram comment. You can't say fair enough unless you're replying either. Ignore it outright. You can't just do the.

[Maul]

No, no, but hold on. Does he have does? No, but. Because he said what he said on his record. H responded, it could stay there. I said what I said a guy called H, That's a shot.

[Damaris]

I'm cool with that as well.

[Maul]

Well, it can stay there.

[Damaris]

Rory doesn't like that.

[Maul]

Don't have to respond to that. He don't have to.

[Rory]

He don't have to respond because it's healthy. They don't have, like, no real beef. I think they're both very talented rappers. Yeah, I. I would want to see this go. Y'all wouldn't. But I did say that. I did say that before Drake and Kendrick. I was like, oh, finally we're getting a rap beef. That's not street at law. It's gonna be so much fun. So wholesome. Yeah, I was wrong with my 2024 prediction.

[Maul]

As long as long as H don't delete the song. Song just let it stay there as long as 25.

[Rory]

Yo, what happened to this whole passive. I just out in 10 minutes.

[Maul]

All I said was, he. As long as he don't delete the.

[Rory]

Song, we're going to be classy. I thought we was going to be classy this year. Five minutes.

[Maul]

All I said was, as long as H doesn't delete the record, cool. Leave it there. That's all. I didn't. I'm not saying no names, no nothing. I'm just saying. He just don't delete the record.

[Damaris]

The deflection. You know what?

[Maul]

Look, Damaris, all I said was do not delete.

[Damaris]

Let me tell you, I'm not arguing with you this year.

[Maul]

We not arguing.

[Damaris]

I'm not arguing with you this year.

[Maul]

I'm smiling. You know what I mean? It's. Everything is love. I'm just saying don't delete the record. H. That's all I'm saying now. I'm sorry to cut you.

[Rory]

Okay? What if. What if the label takes it down cuz. Cuz C sues for defamation? No, because again, I want this to be a positive thing. Dwight Howard is. Is setting the tone for positive diss records.

[Damaris]

Oh, God.

[Maul]

Yeah. You took the. What do you mean? Is Dwight Howard rapping now? Listen, the Lakers need a center. Dwight or Howard is rapping. I don't know what's real anymore. What is going on? I'm telling you. Assimilation. We're living it.

[Rory]

So Dwight Howard posted a photo of him penning a 16 in the studio with headphones on. That's his baby, mother, ex, wife, Nora.

[Damaris]

This is his wife, his current wife that he's in the studio with right now. She's apparently cheering him off on Nice.

[Rory]

Okay. Not doing IG videos exposing what he likes to do with his butt.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So a positive, supportive wife. So are him and his wife, like, dissing each other in a positive way? What is the hashtags inspiration?

[Maul]

Can you.

[Rory]

That's where you're trying to fish for info. Like, what's the hashtag say?

[Damaris]

Pray God, heal their hearts.

[Rory]

No shade about to drop the first positive dis song ever. Yep. Me and my wife about to inspire all of our enemies. Okay, so they're. They're shooting at, like, the other couples.

[Damaris]

Shaq. Yeah, they're about to shoot at Shaq and probably his baby mother who's been accusing him of being nasty and crazy for a while. So Shaq and his baby mother about to get the most positive dis song in the world.

[Maul]

Shawnee has been accusing Shaq of being nasty and What?

[Damaris]

No.

[Rory]

All right. When it comes to basketball players that could rap, Dwight Howard, who doesn't rap, is going after hov. I don't know if Shaq is to be played. That's your first opponent, Dwight Howard. You've never even penned a 16. You want to go against a God?

[Maul]

Yeah, I don't. Dwight, I don't know if you. I understand.

[Rory]

You want to go against a genie.

[Maul]

I don't know if you want to rap with Shaq, though. Shaq is proven. Shaq got classic songs.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I don't think he want to do that. Hey, Dwight, get your ass in the gym. And. And because the Lakers need a center. All this rapping positive dis record. We need a center bad. Make a call. Get Rob Pelinka. Somebody get some Jeanie Buss. Get somebody on the phone. We need a center, and we need a center right now. The Lakers stink.

[Rory]

Dwight would be the one.

[Maul]

Somebody.

[Rory]

There's a lot of studios in la.

[Maul]

No, Dwight don't need a Dwight. Get your ass on the box and rebound, man. That's what you do. Rebound, defend, and fucking just do something. Cause we need something. And the Lakers.

[Rory]

You all right?

[Maul]

I just hate.

[Rory]

Look how the tables have turned. Like, the Knicks are amazing. I'm glad you're feeling what I felt my entire life.

[Maul]

Shout out to the Knicks. Shout out to Jalen Brunson. And call it any towns. They've been named All Star starters for the East.

[Rory]

First time in fucking three generations.

[Maul]

They deserve it. The Knicks look good. I ain't gonna lie. Ever since I had not predicted them winning it at all. They kind of, like, went on, like, a losing streak, but hopefully they get that out they system now.

[Rory]

Shut up.

[Maul]

Yeah, get that out they system now. You know, right before the All Star break, get these losses out the way and come back after the break and, you know, run the table. But I do like the way the Knicks are looking. Shout out to Karl Anthony and Jalen Brunson.

[Rory]

Yeah, absolutely. Before we get off music, did you hear the Travis Scott single that came out over the weekend with the video?

[Maul]

Well, I just heard y'all just played it for me today when I walked in the studio. When I sat down, I watched it again. Travis is one of those artists. The music is always gonna be good. I just don't. I can't tell you anything he said on that record.

[Rory]

Which is why the music is so important.

[Maul]

The music is great. Tay Keef killed that. Like, it's great.

[Rory]

Oh, no. It's a fire beat. But because we can never really understand what the he's saying, that makes the music so much more important. And I don't know. I. I have this Travis record. I don't know if there's been much growth. I mean, that was our kind of. Our critique of the last Travis project. It was the first one that we felt like was a bit more of the same. Yeah, this single doesn't give me much dope. I mean. I mean, Travis is a. I think, safely say, a legendary producer. So I'm not going in doubting that the album is going to be all this.

[Maul]

Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

But, I mean, I. I don't know. The video was better than the song. To me. I thought it was a cool visual. I don't know if I'll go back to this. Of course, the moment the album drops, I'll be running to it because it's Travis Scott. But this single, I'll spend.

[Maul]

I'll listen to it a couple more times. It might be a good. It might be a good workout playlist. Put that on. No playlist. Working out just because the industry.

[Rory]

40 other Travis Scott songs that sound similar to this that I would put. Well, yeah, that's when I'm on the bench press. Before that.

[Maul]

That's his sound. He's staying true to his sound. You bench press why she coming? What's that about?

[Damaris]

Cause he tried to slide that shit in like I wasn't gonna notice the condom wasn't on you Bench press.

[Maul]

He tried to slide that shit in like I wasn't gonna notice the condom wasn't On.

[Rory]

I lay down the towel when I bench press. That's my condom. Them.

[Damaris]

How much you.

[Rory]

I don't. I don't raw tug the whole. I'm not one of those nasty people that gets up and doesn't even clean the. How much you sitting there waiting for the best. Like, bro, I'm not gonna wipe this down.

[Damaris]

How much do you bench press?

[Maul]

She want to know what you max at?

[Damaris]

And not on a good day.

[Rory]

Imagine being on Tinder and like, that's one of the first questions. Like, yo, what's your max? What you squat?

[Maul]

How many reps?

[Rory]

What's your actually, Damaris, if you must know, I do lower weights and higher reps.

[Maul]

There you go, cuz.

[Rory]

I'm not trying to get, like, bulky. I like to be agile and move around ag.

[Maul]

It feel a burn.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

To me, you know, my old age. That's better for me.

[Maul]

Lower the weight up the reps.

[Damaris]

So 50.

[Maul]

The bar is 45 pressing 50 pounds. Get your ass up, man. Get up, man. Get up and let somebody else get a workout.

[Rory]

You don't think I'm like, I'm. You don't think I gym?

[Damaris]

Well, I don't. I don't know. I've never seen your gym game. That's why I'm asking. But you keep deflecting. That's.

[Maul]

I would never want to see Rory in the gym. I've seen him in the airplane, airport, and the slightest inconvenience is pissing him off.

[Damaris]

So in a gym, don't let him see a. With a tripod.

[Maul]

No, don't let him be looking for the 35s. And somebody took one of the 35s they. And they use. And it's only 135 did. Oh, he's going crazy.

[Rory]

Yeah, especially with the dumbbells. Don't put the 45 and the 55 that is marked just like the basil.

[Maul]

You such a Karen dog. You're such a Karen.

[Rory]

I'm not a Karen in the gym. I have headphones in and don't speak to people. But we should. We should gym together then. I was a Division 1 athlete. I don't understand why you guys think I. You was.

[Damaris]

You was Division one.

[Rory]

And I'm not saying I'm going crazy in the gym, but I still, like, spent my life in a gym. I know how to.

[Damaris]

I was £120. We was. Used to be a lot of.

[Rory]

But you still not a step on the scale. Right?

[Maul]

He tried to call you thickums just now.

[Damaris]

He called me. He called me a fat No, I.

[Rory]

Was saying no matter what.

[Damaris]

What?

[Rory]

You still know your way around something.

[Maul]

I thought he tried to call you fums just now.

[Rory]

Just because I. I'm not a Division 1 athlete now doesn't mean you don't know workouts around athletics.

[Maul]

Got you.

[Damaris]

You should train as a side job ad nausea.

[Maul]

As a side job. You think Rory needs a side job?

[Rory]

Yeah, I need to take. I need to quit some of my side jobs. I'm losing my mind.

[Maul]

No, do a side job. You should train on the weekends.

[Damaris]

I think that could be good content. We should go to the gym together. I. It. We can go to the gym together. Rory can lead us.

[Maul]

Vlog it. See, this is why I don't want to go to the gym with nobody now. Got tripods in front of the set.

[Rory]

That I think you're allowed to Karen in that situation.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like.

[Damaris]

Well, to be fair, I have a magnetic mount for my very, very small camera. So half the time when I'm recording, people don't even see it. And I'd never record other people. It's just me in a corner. I feel like that's fair.

[Maul]

That's good gym etiquette.

[Damaris]

Not everybody is also trying to create content. I know people get mad when they see people with tripods, but a lot of people are trying to look at their form later on. Like, okay, I got better with the mirrors.

[Maul]

And, yeah, I could work on this when I squat, you know, keep the back.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I'm not hating, cuz I know a lot of people, like, make money as trainers doing that type of content. I'm not hating at all. Just don't, like, make all of us wait because you're setting up with the right lighting. Like, have that ready to go when you're using that machine.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I'm not said I'm not going to hold the phone for you, bro.

[Damaris]

You want hold up.

[Rory]

You.

[Damaris]

You want hold the phone for somebody? If they ask, like, yo, can you get me from in the gym, man?

[Maul]

That's not real. That don't happen. Nobody ain't ever asked you to hold the phone in the gym.

[Damaris]

A girl has asked me to hold a phone for her before in the gym. That's probably girl etiquette for a certain. For a different angle. Definitely. It's happened. It doesn't happen often, but it's happened before. Girls are nicer to each other, though. Y'all are. Men are so mean to each other. Women are nice to each other in situations like that. Yes, Yes. I don't like that rhetoric that women are so mean to each other. We're so evil. Those are, like, not girls.

[Rory]

Girls.

[Damaris]

Those are regular women tend to be nicer to each other. We have. We build community and like that.

[Maul]

That is very true.

[Damaris]

Y'all the ones that don't talk to each other?

[Maul]

No. That's true, too. I don't talk to none of them.

[Damaris]

You know anything about your neighbors? Your male neighbors? Neighbor?

[Maul]

No, they're gay. Like, the ones that live next to me. I mean, what they are. I mean, I say hello when I passed them, but I don't.

[Rory]

But you never want to speak to them.

[Maul]

I'm not going over there to watch the game.

[Rory]

Like, why add in that tidbit when she asked, are you close with your neighbors? And he was like, nah, they gay.

[Maul]

No, no. All right, let me. Let me rephrase that.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Maul]

No, Damaris. I don't really talk. I say hello in passing. But, like, I'm on a different. Different schedule than most of my neighbors on my floor, though, or in my building. Like, I don't really see, like, maybe one or two people consistently. But other than that, anytime I go home, it's late. People are already kind of like, home already.

[Damaris]

So you wouldn't watch football with the gay neighbors if they asked?

[Maul]

It depends on what's. Like, what's the hors d'oeuvres. Like, what they ass.

[Damaris]

Kidding. Kidding. Sorry. So sorry. Intrusive thought. Intrusive. Intrusive thought.

[Maul]

Gay ass is on the charcuterie. Putting gay ass on the chartuterie is crazy.

[Rory]

Yo. Look at how y'all. Of gay people, like, anytime they host a party, it's just because men are horny.

[Maul]

So imagine men that like each other.

[Rory]

I mean, I've had that thought before, too. Like, damn, the gays must be.

[Maul]

Men are never.

[Rory]

They're men.

[Damaris]

Periods all over the saunas.

[Maul]

Yeah, they never on their periods. Like, it's just like, yeah, yeah, Men. Men are horny. So if they. Men like each other. Oh, man, they. They don't never have to take a few days off and let the.

[Rory]

They're missing the game. They're not even waiting for appetizers halftime time.

[Damaris]

But if they did have good appetizers, you would go, yeah, they seem.

[Maul]

They seem. All jokes aside, they seem like cool dudes, though. Like, they seem really cool. They got a. A Frenchie, too. Like, dog. And so, you know, I'm a dog. I would just go there and talk to the dog and not them. I'm that neighbor. Yeah. I go. I talk to. I talk to people dogs. Before I talk to them.

[Damaris]

For sure.

[Maul]

Yeah. See a dog in my building, hey, they run right up to me. Don't even know what the owner look like. I'm that guy.

[Rory]

I know you guys don't have kids, but people that don't have kids usually make up the best rules for parenting. Over the weekend, I spent a lot of time trying to keep demon children away from my perfect fucking angel at the indoor playground. What is the etiquette? Because I'm the hover parent. Because Amara's not even two yet, so when she's running around, I'm right behind her the whole time. There are kids that are a little older, that their parents are just chilling. I get it. If your kid is like grabbing onto my mind, what's the limit?

[Damaris]

Trip it.

[Rory]

Like, can I face, palm and just. No, stick your foot up. I did that once when.

[Maul]

No, you have to squat down. As a good dad.

[Rory]

No, we're not about to have some feelings. Get the off my angel. Nasty snotty nose.

[Maul]

You have to squat down. Then you have to bring them both together and say, hey, we have to play nice, respect each other's, you know, space and share.

[Rory]

Yo. There was this one little girl that kept following Amara and like trying to kiss her. I'm like, yo, what is going on in your house?

[Maul]

Trying to kiss her.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Damaris]

Well, she probably kisses her parents a lot. Probably comes from a loving household.

[Maul]

But don't kiss my daughter.

[Rory]

Yeah, let's keep it in the household.

[Maul]

We respect boundaries here. When it comes to my daughter, don't kiss my parents.

[Damaris]

Yes, but babies don't understand that.

[Maul]

So gotta teach them.

[Damaris]

Yeah, you do.

[Maul]

That's when you take them and you.

[Damaris]

Put them in something like that. Put em in a bathroom, go to the parent and say, hey, can you let your kid know today? Not kiss?

[Maul]

No, Put him in the bathroom and cut the lights off and lock the door.

[Rory]

So in the playground, right, there's like three trampolines. And Amara likes the trampoline. But on the weekends it's a little more packed. And nothing is worse on earth than four year old boys. Like they're menaces and they're like starting to get athletic. So they are, they're doing the trampoline. They're not just like Amara, like, haha, this is fun. So Amara's trying to do that, so I'm trying to protect her. And there's three of them. They have mad space over here. Now they're doing front flips from one trampoline to the other. Where Amar is chilling. I turned that into wwe. I was hopping off the top thing and meeting these kids in mid air. One of the. I felt one of them missed like the side.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

He didn't land on the trampoline.

[Maul]

He was acting like a defender on slam balls.

[Rory]

Exactly. Yes.

[Maul]

He was protecting the paint.

[Rory]

And then it had me thinking too. Like, I don't know how I would react because it was a natural thing when I was pushing kids away from Amara. But Once Amara is 4 years old, I'm sure she'll be bigger and more aggressive than a 2 year old that's around her.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I would feel away if somebody pushed Amara off. So I don't even know where the, like, middle ground is because I'm still going to face palm children when they touch my daughter.

[Maul]

But as you should.

[Rory]

I just try to do it when the parents can't see. Yeah.

[Maul]

Do it when they not looking. Like, I don't know how your kid got that lump on his forehead, sir, but you.

[Rory]

You should stop looking at your phone.

[Maul]

Maybe pay attention to your kids.

[Damaris]

But you do got to let her fall and get. Not injured, but hit a little bit. She has to learn that, you know.

[Rory]

I only do that, like when it's crazy.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Or if someone's trying to kiss her on the mouth. Something.

[Maul]

Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's.

[Damaris]

But I don't think that that's. I don't. I don't know whether it's because I be all damn near. All my friends have kids. That's so normal for kids to do because they grow up like kissing their parents, kissing their siblings so they. You can stop them. But it's not weird.

[Rory]

I'm not saying there was some weird, nasty shit going on or accusing anything. You're just not taking your mouth. That I don't know where the. It's for sure. And trying to kiss. And it's not like Amar is also like this. She's like, get off me.

[Maul]

Yeah, she doesn't like it either. Yeah, yeah. Respect space. Respect space.

[Rory]

Also, over the weekend, speaking of kids, I downloaded the sexual predators in your neighborhood app.

[Damaris]

Oh, that's wild.

[Rory]

It is wild. Right now. Where we are now, now, like within a 500 foot radius. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Sexual predators. This is nuts. This app is terrifying. Like, these people are among us all the time. No wonder they caught me slipping when I was a kid. They're everywhere, Rory. Like, I was sitting there like, damn, I was lacking, like, nah, I didn't have a fighting chance in 500ft. Just from right here, there's five. Chilling. Just chilling. Posted on the corner. I can see it on the app.

[Maul]

They about to go play ball. The predators.

[Rory]

The monster version of the monsters.

[Maul]

They go to the park.

[Rory]

Like, we got next gift lane is the gm.

[Maul]

Oh. However, you are sexual predators, man. What y'all doing outside together?

[Rory]

And where'd y'all meet?

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, you know where they met? At the playground right by the school. Looking through the gate, you ain't got no kids. Get your ass out of here.

[Rory]

And this. No, you know what? It's not five, it's six. Because there's two on top of each other. Other. There's two, like, living together.

[Maul]

Yeah, they're roommates. Yeah.

[Rory]

That was the only way they could.

[Maul]

Yeah, they only. On the app.

[Damaris]

They're not supposed to congregate, though, right? When you're with other sex.

[Maul]

What you mean? Who else going to talk to them?

[Damaris]

No, but like, it's like with, like, when you. When you on, like, parole, you can't be around like another felon. Right. Or you can't, like, you can't do that when you're. You can't just mingle with other sexual. Pregnant.

[Maul]

Yeah, but if I live in the building and I have to register as a sex offender and somebody else moves in the building, like, I. I don't think they're gonna stop the other person.

[Damaris]

From moving in the building because we already got. We hit our sex offender limit.

[Maul]

No, I mean, it's just like, yo, we. Yeah, I'm registered as a sex offender.

[Rory]

For sex offenders and apartment buildings.

[Maul]

Yeah. I like that app, though. Cause they. They give you the mug shot. Yeah. You can see exactly who it is. Pull up their case. What exactly they was like, booked for. What was the charges, what they did time for? They give you the whole, like, Wikipedia for pedophiles.

[Damaris]

I can't do.

[Maul]

I'm.

[Damaris]

Too.

[Maul]

Early career, career, early life.

[Damaris]

My nerves would be. Early career, early life.

[Maul]

They give you everything on them. Nasty.

[Damaris]

My nerves be too bad there's two.

[Rory]

People in the hotel of the block right now.

[Maul]

Oh, that's where they be at.

[Rory]

That's a nice hotel.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Your nasty ass doing there.

[Maul]

Sex offenders, man, they're everywhere.

[Rory]

I. I mean, I appreciate that they make them register, but I feel like there should. I'm not saying a tattoo per se, or a sign, but like a tattoo. There should be something like you have to. To give with your license, even to go into like a bar. Like, let me see your id. You present the sexual one too.

[Maul]

Didn't they used to do when you like, committed adultery back in the days, they put that big ass a. Like on your forehead or something?

[Damaris]

Scarlet Letter.

[Maul]

Yeah, they need to do that.

[Rory]

Is that what that term comes from?

[Maul]

They need to do that with the, with, with sex offenders.

[Rory]

But they probably only did that. They only shamed women, right? They were. They probably like.

[Maul]

Yeah, it was. The men were men. Yeah. I don't know. I think it was.

[Rory]

They got a pat on the back. Back.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I mean, but that's kind of cuz it's like. Yeah.

[Rory]

How was she?

[Maul]

How was she? Yeah.

[Damaris]

Stole that. Took that, man. You could tell I got my marker, baby. Back in the day.

[Maul]

I don't think they was flaunting it like that, baby.

[Damaris]

I think they was actually day. It's like, oh, she took. She took so and so husband. She got that, that FJ Dub. I'm just saying back in the day.

[Maul]

What is FJ Dub? What is that?

[Damaris]

The fat, juicy and wet. It's the new W Fat.

[Rory]

That is not the new wop Fat, juicy and wet.

[Maul]

No one WAP is wet ass.

[Rory]

Yeah, one is a hit record.

[Maul]

Well, this one just came out.

[Damaris]

I'm talking about the.

[Rory]

Give us some times.

[Maul]

Yeah, give us some time.

[Rory]

Slow, slow burn.

[Maul]

Slow burn.

[Damaris]

Talking about the time. Remember all the girls were saying they had W. My name on Twitter was Fetty Wap when that song came out.

[Maul]

I see why you deleted your account.

[Rory]

That inactive.

[Maul]

I see why you disabled your account. I wish I would have caught that headline, Fetty Wap. I never saw that on your Twitter. Fetty Wap.

[Damaris]

That was back when the girls used to, you know your Twitter name? They used to like edit it to be like some offshoot of something. Like, I remember a girl was shout out to her was Nigga Cage instead of Nicholas Cage.

[Maul]

I like that. Okay. I see what she did. Yeah, like Nicholas Cage. Yeah. She ain't got no hoes.

[Damaris]

Yeah, exactly.

[Rory]

How do we flip the fjw? Because WAP is easy. Yeah, there's a FJW whiskey. Maybe you could.

[Maul]

Yeah, you're not changing your. Your Instagram name. FJW Maris.

[Damaris]

Nah, I think my Insta. Well, what. It was Auntie Michelle for a while.

[Maul]

Auntie Michelle, like Michelle Obama?

[Damaris]

No, like Michelle Shannon Sharp was talking to.

[Maul]

Baby D. Would you ever go back to Africa?

[Damaris]

I've never been. Honestly, I don't.

[Maul]

But I mean. Okay, so would you ever go to Africa? Like, would you ever?

[Damaris]

Yeah, I would go.

[Maul]

You haven't been yet, but you will go.

[Damaris]

Yes, I Want to go for Dirty December?

[Maul]

Would you go if there was a Baddies audition? A Baddie's Africa audition To like judge, like cash doll? No, to be on Baddies. Like to be one of the baddies.

[Rory]

Wait, like Zeus Baddies.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

Yo, Maul loved that Zeus.

[Damaris]

He loved Zeus.

[Maul]

It's my guilty pleasure. I love that shit.

[Rory]

You happily pay your subscription every month.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah. I'm in the middle of like the last season. The Baddies Midwest. Yeah.

[Rory]

What does Midwest cover?

[Maul]

Like Detroit, Chicago.

[Rory]

Oh, that shit get crazy.

[Maul]

Oh, no. You don't have no ideas. You don't.

[Rory]

St. Louis in the there too.

[Maul]

Yeah, I think some girls from St. Louis on there.

[Rory]

That's the big three.

[Maul]

Cleveland.

[Damaris]

The big three.

[Maul]

Yeah. No, it's. They on there going crazy. But baddies. So the Zeus network had tweeted out, I mean, the gentleman who was the CEO of Zeus and Natalie Nunn were on IG Live. And I guess they were talking about the upcoming season and plans and people are not going to. People are going to be surprised at a couple of the girls that are not back on Baddies. I guess they're getting rid of some of the original baddies and Damn. So they're holding a baddie fat boys breakup. I mean, you know, this is the year spring cleaning. So they had a. They tweeted out, I guess a memo, excuse me, that Baddies Africa is coming up. And some of the things that they had on there. And they've since deleted the tweet. But one of the things that they had on the tweet were there's no age restrictions. Now when I read that, I was like, all right, maybe I'm out the loop. I don't really know what's. But no age restriction. I'm like, do people know what this show is? So you're telling me like a 14 year old girl could show up for Baddies Africa and just audition to be a baddie?

[Rory]

What's creepier is that if they wanted all ages, they just didn't have to say anything.

[Maul]

Right.

[Rory]

The fact that they put in specifically no age limit. They deserve to be on that app that I just downloaded.

[Maul]

Yeah. So they deleted it. I guess they were receiving people was like, yo, what is this mean? No age restriction. But I, you know, on one hand, Baddies is again, guilty pleasure. I think is absolutely ridiculous. TV girls on there just fighting because somebody said, I'm sleeping in this room. And no, you're not sleeping in this room. I'm sleeping in this room. So now we got to fight for the room.

[Rory]

Prison.

[Maul]

I think it's absolutely crazy.

[Rory]

That's the one that we pulled up. That clip that they were in wheelchairs too. Right.

[Maul]

On Baddies. I wouldn't surprise me.

[Rory]

Yeah, I think it was. Jocelyn was somehow involved with that shit.

[Maul]

It was a bunch of Jocelyn's cabaret, that's a whole different brand.

[Rory]

But that's also. That's a staple of Zeus though, right?

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, that's one of that. They cross market, they cross promotion, Seinfeld. Same, same, Same difference.

[Damaris]

I think that was their flagship show.

[Rory]

Okay. Yeah, their flagship show.

[Maul]

That. That was. Jocelyn set that whole thing off.

[Rory]

Baddies was their lead in, and they were prime time.

[Maul]

I get it. But yeah, the Baddies Africa audition, though. I saw the Baddies midway. Now, if y'all haven't seen the Baddies Midwest audition, these women are fighting on the line. Like, they don't even have a job yet. They don't have a position on the show. They're at the theater online outside waiting to go inside to audition, and they start fighting online outside of the audition.

[Rory]

Yeah, but that checks out like with American Idol. Remember, they'd take the camera out to the line, and people would start, like, auditioning there for the camera. Yeah, they just warming up, showing their skills.

[Maul]

All right, but how does it go now if we're outside fighting? I just got my ass beat. I got knots on my head. Whip my. My wig off with my re. Rip my weave out. I still have to go on the stage and stand in front of Natalie and.

[Rory]

Yeah, but you showing you got heart. That's like the Rudy of the squad. You come in, like, bloody and bruised up, and you still looking at Natalie with your chin high like. Yeah, come. Come to the set like you got heart.

[Maul]

Yeah, I just don't understand the heart, cuz this is like, crazy. And now they're going to Africa. See, this is weird. About to get rid of.

[Damaris]

That's why I'm not saying that I'm gonna let you get canceled.

[Rory]

No, I don't see anything wrong with it.

[Maul]

We never seen Ratchet Africa, though. Have we seen Ratchet Africa? What show depicts.

[Damaris]

Hell yeah.

[Maul]

What show depicts Ratchet Africa?

[Damaris]

Oh, God. What is it? Young, rich, and African or whatever. Netflix.

[Maul]

What show was that?

[Rory]

N. Sometimes on 90 Day Fiance, like, like, a trashy white woman from the south would fall for, like, one of, like, the richer guys in Africa, and 90 Day Fiance would go there. There was some Ratchet happening in those cities. It was very Americanized.

[Maul]

Really?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I've never seen Ratchet. I mean, aside from, you know, whenever justice goes to Africa for New Year.

[Rory]

That'S not Ratchet, man.

[Maul]

And he's like, yeah, he's on. You know, on his IG at the. @ the club.

[Rory]

No, justice is Ratchet. What's happening isn't.

[Maul]

No, I'm just saying, like, you. You can kind of get a glimpse like, okay, in Africa, they be turning up.

[Rory]

No, Atlanta goes to Africa that much.

[Maul]

Yeah, all them.

[Rory]

They didn't even have hookah there.

[Maul]

No, they had hookah in Africa. They got hookah in Africa.

[Rory]

I know, because everyone in Atlanta put it in their carry on.

[Maul]

I believe that started over there, though. We adopted that. We late to the whole.

[Rory]

I mean, that's Middle Eastern culture.

[Maul]

Yeah, we. Yeah, but I just was Baddy's. Africa just is like. Like, I. While I respect Natalie and what they doing to trying to expand the brand.

[Damaris]

Why do you respect that?

[Maul]

Because it's like, listen, if girls want to go in. Yeah, if girls want to go in there and fight over a bed, cool. Who am I to be like, yo.

[Rory]

They bugging like that once too, Puff. And you saw the end of that story. Now Natalie Nunn's trying to go international with. With no age limit. She gonna be right next to Puff.

[Maul]

Yeah, I just. Yeah, that's the no age limit thing is I think they worded that wrong, but I am. I.

[Rory]

How was the typo? That's not being spelled. Explain to me that. That autocorrect.

[Damaris]

Well, maybe they meant that there's no age limit on how old you could be. Like, maybe it could be like, they want baddie.

[Maul]

That's what I think it was. I think it was like, you don't have to be like, if you're 40 and you want to come audition. Come on. Not if you're 12. You can come audition. I think that's what.

[Rory]

I just feel like some things you should be more specific on.

[Maul]

I agree. Which is why I think they deleted it and it took the tweet down. But I am looking forward to seeing what you know. If I see my girl. If my girl Biggie go to Africa. Africa. That's my girl. Big Dominican. You know what I'm saying? Y'all don't even know about Biggie. You don't know about Biggie. I ain't on your baddies game. Y'all can get your baddies game up, man.

[Rory]

You did. You did real songs with big, no made up shits.

[Maul]

Well, no, this is not that big. This is a whole different.

[Rory]

My bad.

[Damaris]

You don't know.

[Maul]

She just calls herself Biggie like this. She's. She's a healthy. She eats.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

She. She doesn't shy away from.

[Damaris]

We gotta stop doing that. We gotta stop calling fat people healthy. We gotta stop doing that.

[Rory]

That is a weird, like, oxymoron that has happened.

[Damaris]

She healthy. Stop.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Cholesterol going crazy.

[Damaris]

Stop. Especially extremely big people. Like, thick people. You want to call them healthy?

[Maul]

Yeah, we call. We call. I be calling. We used to call my cousin healthy. And until one day, the doctor start shaking his feet like dice in his hand had diabetes. He had to get both his feet amputated. So it was kind of like, you.

[Damaris]

Know, yeah, we gotta stop that.

[Maul]

Yeah, we got.

[Rory]

Okay. But you. You guys weren't calling him healthy because of his feet once. So after he lost his feet, would you still be like, nah, he healthy.

[Maul]

Nah. He's like, he's stupid. We been told him to stop drinking all that soda.

[Rory]

They didn't even start with the toe. They went right for.

[Maul]

Nah.

[Rory]

At the ankle.

[Maul]

Both of them gotta go, ah, damn.

[Damaris]

And big bone. Sorry, I'm. Oh, my God, am I fat? Shaming. We gotta stop saying big bone.

[Maul]

Everybody bones is the same.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I ain't never see an X ray. Was like, yo, that nigga Big Bone.

[Damaris]

Never in my life.

[Maul]

Never had happen. It's just all this. The hue, the. The glow outside of the bone. Like, that's a healthy gentleman. But the actual bones is like, nah, look just like my bones.

[Rory]

We got the same femur.

[Maul]

Same, bro, same.

[Rory]

When does this air? And also, by the way, that's not very specific. Like, Africa is the biggest continent out there.

[Maul]

We're in Africa. I'm. I'm assuming they're going to go to Ghana. I'm assuming because we already have kind of, like, established that Ghana is, you know, the place to go party New Year's. A lot of people go out there, so I'm going to assume. Assume that it's gonna be. It's okay. There it is. Filmed in Nigeria. Nigeria, South Africa and Morocco.

[Damaris]

How.

[Maul]

Listen, man, the budget opened up. Got the budget. They want to bring American culture over there. You know what I'm saying?

[Damaris]

Those are multiple, like, countries, though.

[Maul]

Yeah. It's nothing but a flight.

[Rory]

Are the South Africans gonna be in the same house as the Nigerians?

[Maul]

It's gonna be lit.

[Rory]

That's gonna be okay.

[Maul]

See, y'all know that's what I'm saying. Baddies, Africa, Y'all don't know. I don't know if y'all know if you see a girl from the what's the name tribe, and she come across the other girl from the. The name tribe, it might be on site.

[Damaris]

For real tribe.

[Maul]

You ain't never try to knock a spear out of somebody hand. Oh, we can knock a bear out of somebody.

[Rory]

These are modern communities. These are cities.

[Maul]

All right, See, that's what y'all be thinking is wrong.

[Damaris]

You think they gonna have cheetah chasing battles on the baddies Africa.

[Rory]

What's wrong with Nigeria 2025? I want to see it's a modern city.

[Maul]

That don't mean ain't still getting in like the old days. What you mean?

[Damaris]

God.

[Maul]

Yeah. Somebody got a spare in their house on the wall. Y'all know somebody got a sword in their house. Spin their house.

[Rory]

That. That looks like Philly.

[Maul]

No, that. That don't look like Philly. That don't look like no Philly. Philly ain't got that much water. But I'm looking forward to baddies Africa. All jokes aside, I do want to see the culture over there and the women and. And how they get down. I do want to see that.

[Rory]

That's going to be nuts. Did they say when it's going to air? I mean, if. If Natalie Nunn makes it it back.

[Maul]

Why wouldn't she make it back? Listen, man, Natalie might find a husband over there. Y. Bullshitting. Then n become a queen, y'all gonna be hating.

[Rory]

They gonna say that that chin is healthy.

[Maul]

Healthy chin, Good chin.

[Rory]

Real healthy chin.

[Maul]

I'm looking forward to it, though. I do want to watch it.

[Rory]

Wait, no, no, go. What was you gonna say?

[Maul]

Not say it.

[Rory]

No, that's all right.

[Maul]

Yeah. Don't.

[Rory]

Don't edit button.

[Maul]

We not doing that. We not doing that.

[Rory]

We got the edit button that we won't edit.

[Maul]

If you got something, say something.

[Damaris]

I was gonna ask if y'all pay attention to women's chins when y'all said we when you hit on them. That's all I was wondering.

[Maul]

I mean, if she got a big chin, I notice it. I mean, I don't.

[Rory]

As opposed to, like, what other features? If I'm looking at her face. Yeah, chin is. I'm looking at her chin, too.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like, I ain't. Big chin is like, you know, I.

[Rory]

Like a cute little chin dimple.

[Maul]

I like that's. That's called a. A chin.

[Rory]

But.

[Maul]

But chin butt chin.

[Rory]

No, not like Popeye or any, like, just like a little, like, when she makes a certain facial expression. Popeye, like a certain facial expression. She'll get a little cr.

[Maul]

She chin dip so you don't want her to look like Jim Carrey. Me, myself, Irene, when he. When he got his done over and had the big ass. You don't remember that?

[Rory]

He said, hank thought you had a weak chin. Yo, that movie is so underrated.

[Maul]

That movie is a classic movie, man. Me, Myself, and I is one of the greatest movies ever.

[Rory]

Anyways, it pains me to say this. Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Kansas City Chiefs.

[Maul]

Why does it pain you?

[Rory]

Because I hate the Eagles. But I even tweeted last night.

[Maul]

Nah, I want to say it made.

[Rory]

Me sick to my stomach.

[Maul]

I want to say Quan, to get.

[Rory]

Saquon Barkley has me happy.

[Maul]

Sorry, Pete.

[Rory]

Philadelphia Eagles.

[Maul]

My heart is with Philly, but my money's with Kansas City. I'm not betting on Philly.

[Rory]

Well, I mean, are they bringing their referee crew, or is it going to be you?

[Maul]

One of those. Man, y'all. All of this refs cheating for Kansas City shit.

[Rory]

Come on, man.

[Maul]

Cut it out, man.

[Rory]

You don't think that Bill's chief was a little questionable on certain calls?

[Maul]

I think every game is questioned is questionable calls.

[Rory]

Nobody caught the ball, but the Chiefs did.

[Maul]

Yeah, I mean, you got to get better receivers, get better receivers.

[Rory]

The receiver and corner both dropped the ball. Now all of a sudden, the Chiefs have a fucking interception. Come on, man. What are we talking about?

[Maul]

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not jumping on that. Bam.

[Rory]

Josh Allen clearly had that first down. There was a lot of stuff that was very questionable. And let's not act like teams, because when the Patriots were in their dynasty phase, I think they got a lot of calls, too. If you don't get that Tuck rule, I don't even know if the dynasty starts for the Patriots the way it did.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

Teams get calls.

[Maul]

I mean, yeah, players get calls. Teams get calls. Players get called. But I don't.

[Rory]

You have to cuddle Patrick Mahomes to the ground like, you can't even touch him. It's. It's fine. It's fine to say the Chiefs aren't the first team.

[Maul]

I don't know, man. I mean, I get. I get what you're saying, but it's not. I don't think it's as, like. As a big of a deal as people are trying to make it out to be.

[Rory]

I don't think it was flat out like, they went into that game trying their absolute best to make sure the Bills lost so Taylor Swift could go to the Super Bowl. But you know, there was some, There was some Vegas calls in there that looked a little odd to me, that's all. And the rest.

[Maul]

How long. How long has this been the thing where people feel like they're getting Kansas City's getting calls? Because I feel like this year it's been the loudest. I don't, I don't remember nobody last year.

[Rory]

Three seasons. But the last two seasons have definitely been.

[Damaris]

Yeah, last year. I remember. I remember.

[Maul]

Really?

[Damaris]

That's what people were saying. It was a script and all that extra. Remember that?

[Rory]

To me, that's, that's crazy. I just think when things are questionable, what did the script agenda of who it should go for?

[Maul]

Did they get. Did they get it right? Was the script right this year or the two teams that they said in the beginning of year, end of super bowl, probably not. Right?

[Rory]

I mean, I don't think anyone was. Is shocked that the Eagles and yeah, Chiefs are there. I mean, a lot of people said the Lions look great until injuries. I kind of. As much as I did want to see the Bills get one. Maybe them beating the Ravens was a fluke and maybe the Ravens would have been a better matchup for the Chiefs.

[Maul]

Nah, I don't. I don't think. I think that Patrick Mahomes is obviously the face of the NFL. I think he's probably right now already the third greatest quarterback in NFL history.

[Rory]

I mean, if he gets one this year, how are you this young already? Already questioning Brady's legacy like you're that young.

[Maul]

29. Three rings, three. Three Super Bowl MVPs.

[Rory]

That's nuts.

[Maul]

Going after number four this year.

[Rory]

That's insane.

[Maul]

I still have Brady.

[Rory]

I don't think any. I'm sorry to cut you off. I didn't think anyone would even go near Brady resume for another 50 years.

[Maul]

Yeah, I still have Brady and Montana ahead of him. I still have Brady and Joe Montana.

[Rory]

He's 29.

[Maul]

He's 20. He's still young. But I, I just. I don't know, man. I, I like him, but he still got a lot more to do before he passes Joe Montana in my book. But he's still a great quarterback. But it's going to be fun to watch. I do want Saquon and Jalen hurts to get a. A Super bowl ring.

[Rory]

Same.

[Maul]

I would love for Saquon Barkley to get a Super bowl ring and then drive right back to MetLife Stadium and sit in the parking lot for hours just listening to music.

[Rory]

I'll go with him. We light a fire in a. In A barrel.

[Maul]

I would love to see that. Just sit right there and just, you know, have a. Have a bonfire in the parking lot. Stupid ass Giants.

[Rory]

Did the. Did they fire their GM yet?

[Maul]

The Giants? They should fire everybody.

[Rory]

They still haven't fired them gm. It's on camera. His strategy for the year.

[Maul]

Get the GM out of here. Get the president. Get the towel boy. Everybody gotta go.

[Damaris]

The towel boy.

[Rory]

Yo, even the owner didn't even know shit about football. It just owns the team.

[Maul]

Was like, are you sure you don't need Saquon? Because you have Daniel Jones.

[Rory]

Come on. We putting the money around. Dimes.

[Maul]

They went with Danny Dimes over Saquon Barkley.

[Rory]

What if he lights it up in Minnesota?

[Maul]

That means nothing. That means absolutely nothing for the Giants. Saquon Barkley. I want him to get a ring. I want. Jalen Hurts to get a ring. But I'm, you know, it's hard to beat Patrick Mahomes and Kelsey and Pacheco and those guys.

[Rory]

I again, cannot believe that I will ever be rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles. It makes me sick to my stomach. I'll probably have the runs Monday morning, but I. I will be.

[Maul]

It's going to be a good game. I think it's going to be a fun. A fun game, but at the same.

[Rory]

Time, because again, I don't have a dog in that fight. I'm not one of those people that will be mad if the Chiefs get it. I'm here to witness greatness. If. If they keep going, appreciate greatness. That's crazy. I'm not going to hate on that.

[Maul]

But I do. Again, just because everything that Saquon had to deal with in the media, leaving New York, going right down the turnpike. I think to cap this story off, like, a big fucking. The ring would be like. And I want Saquon to say it like, you know what would be even more gangster? What if he, like, takes off, like, his. His equipment at the end of the game, they win, and he has like a Giants practice jersey on underneath his.

[Rory]

Probably fun.

[Maul]

Do you know how gangster that would be? Like, I brought y'all to the super bowl with me. Don't trip, don't trip.

[Damaris]

Don't trip.

[Maul]

Don't trip. Y'all stay. Don't fret. Don't fret. Y'all with me. You know what I'm saying? I got y shirt on still. So good.

[Rory]

Shout out to friends of the show. Armani White performed at halftime. I thought that was awesome.

[Maul]

Shout out to Armani.

[Rory]

And I love to see Gilly lead out the Eagles. I thought that was really fucking cool.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, that's crazy.

[Maul]

Hometown guys. Yeah. Supporting the team.

[Rory]

But even, like, I know Gilly is more than just podcasting, but, you know, to see a podcaster lead out a team in the NFC Championship, like, that's amazing. Amazing.

[Maul]

Shout out, man. Philly.

[Rory]

I felt like he did that for all the Potters. Like, I wish he would have had a mic with him as he was coming out the.

[Maul]

Like, to say what?

[Rory]

No, I wouldn't be plugged in. Just to, like, show that.

[Maul]

Oh, just like, the show.

[Rory]

Like, he brought the. Right. The same way Saquon's gonna bring the Giants. I felt like Gilly brought all of us as a podcast out of that tunnel.

[Maul]

Like, he did it for us.

[Rory]

The Potters definitely, you know, influenced the Eagles.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

You think if the Giants, like, ever, like, made the super bowl, you think, like, or the finals, you think we would. We would come out?

[Rory]

I mean, just out of everyone in the Tri State, I feel like a lot of people would have to be.

[Maul]

Busy that day to get to your day. Rory's free. He's not busy today.

[Rory]

We know he's free.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, he's home. We. We could get him.

[Rory]

I mean, listen, I'm close to the stadium. If someone does cancel, I could be there quick.

[Maul]

20 minutes.

[Rory]

Yeah, yeah, I'm a good.

[Maul]

Makes sense. Great backup. We got any voicemails?

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Rory]

Oh, well, quick predictions, scores.

[Maul]

Again, man.

[Rory]

Two high scores.

[Maul]

Hardest with Philly. Money is on Kansas City. My heart says 31. 27. Philly. My money says 27. 16.

[Damaris]

Damn.

[Rory]

Okay, I'm going 24. 17, Philly.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

But I might make the trip just.

[Maul]

To be in the city, and I. Yeah.

[Rory]

And take that first thing smoking Monday morning, because I know everyone's gonna want to anticipate. Not the game.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But, yeah, I might go.

[Maul]

All right. It should be fun. New Orleans is always a great time.

[Rory]

I mean, we bringing me.

[Damaris]

You bringing me.

[Rory]

We can bring the mics. We can shoot in Jay's crib.

[Maul]

That would be something that. That's a whole different type of episode right there.

[Rory]

I mean, we did it in Mexico.

[Maul]

That's a whole different type of.

[Damaris]

Oh, God, never mind.

[Rory]

I loved our Mexico episode.

[Maul]

I loved my time in Mexico. But, yeah, no, we had fun, man. It was fun, man.

[Rory]

Potting from New Orleans.

[Damaris]

Let's do it. Y'all always talking about, let's do this, let's do that. What's stopping you? Other than, I mean, having a child. But, like, what's stopping you?

[Rory]

No, I got the blessing for the week weekend. So we would leave Friday and then come back Monday. Well, if we pod down there, she.

[Maul]

Gave you four Our Fathers, like go to New Orleans.

[Rory]

That is actually how I used to repent from my sins. I would say a certain amount of Hail Marys. I always wondered what the priest gauge was when he be like, for our fathers 10 Hail Marys. Like, it never went up with the sin. I want to know if there was a ration.

[Maul]

It's like the Fed guidelines. Like certain sins.

[Rory]

Yeah. Like, what's my minimum of Hail Mary?

[Maul]

Certain sins is for Our Father. Minimum. Yeah.

[Rory]

And sometimes you get the better priest that lets you slide.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

For favors, but we can get into voicemails.

[Maul]

You've got mail. What's up, Pod? What's good, Pod? Rory Mal Damaris. Keep it up, man. Y'all killing it. Listen up. You're on a space mission to Jupiter, right? 30 year trip. You can only take one album. You can only take one sitcom seeing space. You can only take one actor to physically be there with you to watch the. You know, to just be there with you throughout the day.

[Damaris]

Journey.

[Maul]

What are y'all taking? For me, it's. I'll take Scorpion, the double album by Drake. I believe that album has it all. It has rapping, it has melodies, it has great beats, it has amazing production. It has it all.

[Rory]

It has it all.

[Maul]

I'll take Fresh Prince of Bel Air. All seasons, all episodes. And my actor is probably. I think I'm pronouncing this wrong, but Margot Ross, Bobby, that white girl, she's. She's bad. What are y'all taking? You're gonna take one album, one. One sitcom and one actor on this journey.

[Rory]

Talk to me. I love that he had the same, like, misogynistic thoughts I did because I wasn't thinking about, like, the actress that would probably have good conversation. Going to Jupiter's a long time. I was like, what actress is bad? Yeah, nothing that's gonna help the journey. Yeah, that's a good question. Him album. Album, maybe. Considering the time. I like that he went double album. I obviously wouldn't go Scorpion.

[Maul]

Need the most, but you're going to need the most. Yeah, I.

[Rory]

It typically wouldn't be my pick, like, if you did the desert island thing, but maybe Life After Death. H. I went right to double albums.

[Maul]

Yeah. It would make sense to have a double album because you're going to need as much music as possible. So that's a good pick.

[Rory]

Life After Death covers a Lot of basics.

[Maul]

Damn.

[Damaris]

Trying to think of classic double album.

[Rory]

There's not all eyes on me.

[Maul]

Sweatsuit.

[Rory]

Sweatsuit for that's got everything.

[Damaris]

Man Speaking Box to love below.

[Rory]

That's a great pick.

[Maul]

Yeah, but you can't listen to hey, y'all. But more than like.

[Rory]

Not if I'm with Margot Robbie.

[Maul]

Oh, yeah. We listen to that every night.

[Rory]

Shake like a Polaroid picture.

[Maul]

That's how we go to sleep.

[Rory]

That's a six song to go to sleep. Sleep too. What? Nas. Street Disciple. That's your double?

[Maul]

No. Damn. I don't know. Which double. Which double album would I take?

[Rory]

Oh, Wu Tang Forever is a great double album. I don't know if I would do that though. That's. I have to be in like a Wu Tang Forever move.

[Maul]

Nah. Wuang. You can't. That can't be the only album I have.

[Rory]

And you'd scare Margot Robbie. Like.

[Maul]

Yeah. You can't go to Jupiter with just the Wuang album.

[Rory]

Are you could.

[Maul]

Nah, you gotta. It gotta be different types of music. And it can't just be rap.

[Rory]

Damari's not a good pick. Speaker box. I may replace speaker box with.

[Damaris]

That wouldn't be my pick. I had that for you. That would be.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'll go. Speaker box.

[Maul]

It's no W. It's. It's kind of a. It's. It's. It's smart to pick a Drake album because you're gonna get raps, you're gonna get R and B. You're gonna get like different types of music.

[Damaris]

I would pick.

[Maul]

I'm trying to think of a double.

[Damaris]

I would pick. See, this might be a cheat code. I would pick either Whitney Houston or Michael. Greatest hits albums.

[Maul]

Oh, we could do a greatest hits.

[Damaris]

Because they have those CDs. They have those discs.

[Rory]

Not even trying to clank. Bob Marley Legends, one of your favorites.

[Maul]

Yeah. Bob Marley's.

[Rory]

Which is the greatest hit.

[Maul]

Yeah. If I'm gonna do it. And then I'll do Bob Marley's Greatest Hits. I'll take that with me. Sitcom. Probably Martin.

[Damaris]

I'm going Fresh Prince.

[Maul]

I'll take Martin and actress. Give me India Love, man.

[Damaris]

What?

[Rory]

What? Yo, pull up. Pull up. India love. IMDb.

[Damaris]

What has she acted in? Baby?

[Maul]

Y'all hating. See, it's just so much hate in 2024. We just started.

[Rory]

I want to. I mean, I respect her as a thespian. I want to see her credits.

[Damaris]

The one that Got Away Movie and Ala Cart, which was a TV series.

[Rory]

What were her roles in those moments?

[Maul]

I ain't even see a la cart. See, that's what I'm saying, y'all.

[Rory]

Can you give me without looking at the screen? Like, what. What's the synopsis of that movie?

[Damaris]

Oh, that's.

[Rory]

I mean, she was classic boy meets girl.

[Maul]

Yeah. You know. You know the story. You've seen it a thousand times.

[Damaris]

You know the story.

[Rory]

Megan good produced it.

[Maul]

Yeah. See?

[Rory]

Okay. Yeah, it might be good then. What's her role in it?

[Maul]

You know, she's the bestie that's there.

[Rory]

Through troubling times and comic relief.

[Maul]

Always there to keep her grounded and centered.

[Rory]

And the main character takes her, you know, takes advantage of her. And then later in the movie realize she had a real friend.

[Maul]

Exactly.

[Rory]

That invites her back to the party.

[Maul]

Exactly.

[Rory]

But because she's the cool friend, she's like, girl, don't sweat it. It's cool.

[Maul]

Yeah. So see y'all hating. Yeah. Give me end love. That's the actress I'm taking.

[Damaris]

Roy, who would you choose?

[Rory]

Sitcom. You guys did say Curb was a sitcom.

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Rory]

So I'm going by y'all definition. I would do Curb. I mean, Rihanna did act in what, baby?

[Maul]

The movie. You know, the. You know the movie with the aliens in this. In the. In the ocean. Which movie was that?

[Damaris]

Your battlefield? Battleship.

[Maul]

Battleship, you're right.

[Damaris]

I forgot about that. Yeah, she was in Battleship also in the movie with. With Childish Gambino, too.

[Maul]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

This is the end Thespian.

[Maul]

She was in that.

[Rory]

Great in that she let the guy from super bad slap her ass. That's method acting.

[Maul]

Come on, man.

[Rory]

She had to really get in character.

[Maul]

No, that was a great choice for that.

[Rory]

And she smacked the. Out of him.

[Maul]

That looked like wasn't scripted. Real reaction.

[Rory]

Even if that's in the script, Rihanna can smack the. Out of me. I'm fine with that.

[Maul]

For no reason.

[Rory]

If in the script and she's okay with it, let me slap her on the ass. I think that's a fair return.

[Maul]

I would take Rihanna might break your 100%.

[Rory]

It'd be worth it, though. Come on, Jaws heal.

[Maul]

It felt good, though. It was down there.

[Rory]

Yeah. I'll wrap through the wire for that, but, yeah, I think all respect to Rihanna and her family, this is a hypothetical. I feel like she checks all those boxes for, like, a long trip. She smokes.

[Maul]

Can we bring weed? She smokes. Yeah. Bring weed to Jupiter is gangster okay?

[Rory]

I just feel like in the pressurized cap, like, cabin there, I don't know.

[Maul]

If weed would be. Yeah, you could smoke in a spaceship.

[Rory]

I mean, this is make believe because we're going to Jupiter, so I guess anything's possible.

[Maul]

Yeah. Come on. It was some weed. You know what I mean? It was some PS5.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Maul]

Beer, no essentials.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

No food. I ain't named no food yet. Chopped cheese.

[Rory]

You know, a little space pill, a few chopped cheese.

[Maul]

I share my chopped cheese with India. Love. It's all good.

[Rory]

What actor, actress are you going with?

[Damaris]

Jesse Williams. But obviously if he's not available. Jamie Foxx. Probably Jamie Foxx, because Jamie can keep me entertained. Gained more.

[Rory]

First of all, I love how casually she said if he's not available to go to Jupiter that day.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, Jesse Williams.

[Rory]

Yeah, he just booked a pilot.

[Maul]

Yeah, he's shooting on Broadway right now.

[Damaris]

My man. My man. If he's not available to go to Jupiter, I would definitely do Jamie Foxx because Jamie can keep me entertained, so.

[Maul]

Not with that new movie him and Bush and Angels put out.

[Damaris]

Stop. I heard it was cute.

[Maul]

Who told you?

[Damaris]

My dad.

[Maul]

Delete his number. He's lying to you. The movie was fucking awful. The end of the fucking movie, they jumped into the fucking river in London and they don't even really jump it. It's all cgi. They're floating like they look stupid as I'm like, they not even in real fucking water. What am I watching right now?

[Rory]

It was bad. Cg. You're not wrong.

[Maul]

That shit was. And then two minutes later, they're on the fucking next to the ambulance. That got them out of the water. Completely dry. Jamie Foxx, tuxedo shirt, everything completely dry. I'm like, what is this? Nobody's hair is wet. That. I'm like, yo, what am I watching, man? I sat here and watched this ass movie and y'all know I love Jamie F. But that movie was. That was terrible. That movie was terrible.

[Rory]

But what do you expect from those type of movies? It was exactly what I thought it.

[Maul]

Was from Jamie Foxx. I. He's an Academy Award winner. I expect a certain level of movie when the Academy Award winner's in the movie. Yes. I'm sorry.

[Rory]

I feel like a lot of Academy Award winners have done these fluff action movies for kids.

[Maul]

Not Denzel. Name it.

[Rory]

Gladiator 2.

[Maul]

Don't do that. You mean those sharks weren't real?

[Rory]

Samuel Jackson's made a career out of it. This was Jamie. Snakes on a Plane.

[Maul]

Okay, okay, I see.

[Rory]

Yeah, like Samuel Jackson has God knows how many amazing movies. It wasn't Pulp Fiction, but he saw some Snakes on Plane.

[Maul]

Yeah, but this this. This Jamie Fox. Cameron Diaz. That was terrible, man.

[Rory]

That was a. Jamie Foxx has done some questionable movies before.

[Maul]

What, they clone Tyrone?

[Damaris]

I like.

[Rory]

I like that movie.

[Maul]

I'm just saying. You saying questionable. Which other one?

[Rory]

I may take it back. Jamie Foxx.

[Maul]

I don't know.

[Rory]

Denzel's probably done some questionable ones, too.

[Maul]

Name them. You can't just say that.

[Rory]

I'm just saying. And I may take it back. See, I don't even know all these folks.

[Maul]

Jamie. Jamie, got. You ain't even hear.

[Rory]

That's a fact.

[Maul]

Denzel. We know all Denzel movies. All of them.

[Damaris]

Well, I'm looking at Rolling Stone ranking Denzel's movies from worst to best. And they have Safe House on here. They said it was a hit, but it was a bad movie.

[Maul]

Safe.

[Rory]

Oh, Safe House. I saw. I didn't like. Safe House isn't with Ryan Reynolds or something?

[Maul]

I think so.

[Rory]

One of. One of the.

[Maul]

The white.

[Rory]

One of the white guys.

[Damaris]

That's Ryan Reynolds. Yeah.

[Rory]

It wasn't a bad movie, but it. It wasn't Denzel caliber whatsoever.

[Maul]

What's another one they got on there?

[Damaris]

They got. Was 50. They got the Bone Collector on here.

[Maul]

Great movie.

[Damaris]

Heart condition is number 50 in virtuosity. All of these were done, like, when I was an infant, so I don't know any of these movies other than Safe House.

[Maul]

Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. That Fox movie, he could. He could have passed on that one. Or Camera. What was the name of that With Cameron Diaz Is.

[Damaris]

I don't know. They're on a flight, right?

[Maul]

On a flight. I wish they was on a flight. Well, no, they did. They had to fly to London.

[Damaris]

Back in action.

[Maul]

Back in action.

[Rory]

I. I kind of liked it.

[Maul]

No, you did not. You did not like that movie, bro. You. You a movie snob. You did not like that movie.

[Damaris]

He's a movie snob.

[Maul]

Rory. Yeah, Rory will come in here and say he hated short. No Short Shank Redemption is your.

[Rory]

Come on.

[Maul]

Yeah. Which.

[Rory]

It made me want to do Prison Time.

[Maul]

Did it so not so bad. Andy Dufresne.

[Rory]

If you take out, like, the two rape scenes, it seems like a really supportive community.

[Maul]

Yeah. Very clean. They clean the cells.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Not that bad.

[Rory]

I could learn to read.

[Maul]

Yeah, I get it. All right.

[Rory]

And he taught everyone how to do their taxes. Like I would do time in Maine.

[Maul]

In Maine. Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, you. Cut. You really come out reformed.

[Maul]

Yeah, well, that's what you're supposed to do. But before we get out of here, I do want to say Rest in peace, DJ Unk.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Maul]

Another. Another Atlanta icon that we lost over the weekend. Classic, you know, songs.

[Rory]

And find an era with Walk It Out.

[Maul]

The whole era. The whole Walk it out, all that whole era. DJ Unk was definitely a staple in that. So we do want to send our prayers and condolences to his family and his friends. Friends, rest in peace and thank you for what you have given us in the culture.

[Rory]

Yeah, Right. Before we leave, we'll talk about it when the record actually comes out. I just want Damaris's prediction. Blick Something is one of your favorite Lotto records, right?

[Damaris]

Blink some, get some.

[Rory]

Blick Something if you love me. So tonight, as we're recording this, the Playboi Carti remix will be dropping. What. What is. What's your spread on that one? Is it one and a half? How you feeling? Because he has a high rate of ruining records.

[Damaris]

I trust Lotto. That's all I'll say. I trust Lotto.

[Rory]

I trust Lotto to make great decisions for her career because she's been doing that for quite some time. Having Playboi Carti on your song is a great decision. Now, does that equal great music is a completely different conversation. I'll tell you this. Not that I'd ever get the opportunity, but if Playboi Carti gave me an awful fucking verse, I'm still putting it up. Really? The music integrity. When you're in a position like Latto that has to answer for the budget she's taking and has to hit a certain goal every time you fucking write, I'm gonna put a Playboi Cardi shit out for my career.

[Maul]

See?

[Rory]

And it's just one verse.

[Maul]

And that's why the music industry is fucked up. I agree more because that's honest and that's real. I respect that. But that's how a lot of people. People think like this. The verse could be trash, but because.

[Rory]

Of the name and that fan base is.

[Maul]

And that fan base and those clicks and those streams, you gonna go ahead and put that verse, that terrible verse on the record.

[Rory]

I. How I would like chalk that up to sleep at night outside of my family being able to eat. I just don't understand it because every time I see a Playboy Cardi version verse, all the comments are like, this might be the greatest verse I've ever heard in my life. And I'm like, I didn't even.

[Maul]

I don't know what he said.

[Rory]

He was on the song. I didn't even. He said something.

[Maul]

Yeah, I'm same, same but you know, I just take it as my. My old illmatic Reasonable doubt ears, you know, it is what it is.

[Rory]

It's not for us. But I mean, I like that lotto record. I am curious where that's gonna go. And it's gonna feed, I guess more of the legend of Playboi Carti never putting out music.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Because it could just be like. I feel like with his aura that he has created. Lotto probably sent him an open verse for the remix and he sent back the same file and it's just empty. And the fans are gonna be like.

[Maul]

You'Re not gonna say nothing on it, yo.

[Rory]

Yeah, he's a genius.

[Maul]

Yeah, that's how it goes. But you got to build yourself up to that point. To that level, though.

[Damaris]

Oh, this was supposed to come out last year. I'm reading.

[Rory]

I mean, it's definitely late for a remix on that song. But I mean, post promotion is the best promotion in this area.

[Maul]

Like you said, I'm not gonna turn it down.

[Rory]

Keep that.

[Damaris]

I would love it every. All the girls have been putting out deluxes for their albums. I would love a deluxe to the album. Y'all know how much I champion that album. I love it so much I still play it. I would love a deluxe for the album if the music's good with more T album.

[Maul]

Because you've been. You've been talking about this lotto album a lot.

[Damaris]

You still ain't listen to us.

[Maul]

Been on damn near.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Her Drake outro was really good too.

[Maul]

She has a song with Drake on Stop.

[Damaris]

Stop.

[Rory]

Not everything is a slight. Like I. She sounds like Drake on it, but she's. She's rapping.

[Maul]

Oh, I don't mean it as a.

[Rory]

It's like a Drake outro. Similar flow, similar B. But she talked on that. I like it.

[Maul]

Yeah, I like a lot of song. I'mma check it out. Cuz you've been talking about that album.

[Damaris]

You always say you going to do something you'll never.

[Maul]

I'mma check it out, baby. I'm. I'mma FaceTime. I'm going send you a video. I'm listen to it.

[Damaris]

You never. You've called me five times since I've known you.

[Maul]

Yeah, this is going to be number six. I'm let you know that I'm listening to the album. And don't say that like I don't. Don't do that.

[Damaris]

You don't call me.

[Maul]

You don't call me now. And sometimes I be needing to hear your voice. So now what the two Way street.

[Damaris]

Oh, you swear you my old N? You sound just like him. For real. Like, that's crazy.

[Rory]

Wasn't aware the phone wasn't a two way street. I didn't.

[Damaris]

I got pe.

[Rory]

I didn't feel like I was bothering you, so.

[Maul]

Yeah, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, this is out of sight, out of mind when it come to me, huh? Don't speak to me when we in the office.

[Rory]

Every time I think about you, I just. Journal.

[Maul]

Yeah, like, I just start writing. I can't stop. I can't turn it off. We'll be back in a couple days, man. Y'all be safe, be blessed. Have a good week. Finally. Not as cold in New York, it's not. We was like, seven degrees last week. Yeah, crazy.

[Rory]

I mean, I was hyped to see it was only 20° today.

[Maul]

Yeah, well, no, we not. We have 30 something today.

[Rory]

Went up to, like, 32 quickly. Speaking of light lotto, during Patreon, when I was playing, you know, snippets from my album, I do love our fans and their thoughts of how far my arms can stretch in the music industry, because I had, like, open verses and the features. They were telling you to get incomplete songs. And one was like, you should put lotto on that. I was like, I don't got lotto money unless I hit the lotto.

[Damaris]

Like, damn bars.

[Rory]

There was one. He was like, yo, Cole would smoke that. I know he would.

[Maul]

Yeah, Cole.

[Rory]

He would not. He'd go crazy on that. But, yeah, for sure he never will. And then they. And then when I say that, they give me, like, the beautiful speech of, like, nah, you got to speak into existence. Don't think that way about yourself. And then I'm like, all right, now you're making me feel like, yeah, no, no, but I know, I know Cole's not hopping on.

[Maul]

Yeah, we know how this business work. Cole will not be on this song.

[Rory]

But this was fun, man.

[Maul]

I am looking forward to the album, though, so you definitely got to send it to me when you get it all the way there.

[Rory]

No, I was working out today with the new date for the first single since we pushed it back five tires because it was supposed to come out last Friday. Yeah, not the album, the first single.

[Damaris]

But, yeah, I saw on the Discord, since you'd be giving them all the information. I went on Discord after my long weekend and saw they was like, yeah, Rory's album comes out next month.

[Rory]

They got the title and everything.

[Damaris]

Then they got the. You gave them the old they got my. The verse I wanted on the album that didn't make it. The old reason verse. They like, yo, this fire. I'm like, he gave y'all the old too.

[Rory]

Like, this what? This is why I'm here.

[Maul]

To reason.

[Rory]

Not Baby D. She's heard that a million times.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

I put, for everyone that bought a vinyl I put together for the year anniversary, a private SoundCloud that was called before. It was different, and it had all the songs that didn't make it or different versions of every song. So it was the original reason outro that I put in that playlist. There's a lost Jim Jones verse on there. Like, it's a cool playlist. If you bought a vinyl, it came with this private playlist. Now, Damaris has had that, but she don't check her text, so she's mad.

[Damaris]

At something she had before giving it to the Discord. I knew it went to the vinyl user.

[Rory]

I gave it to Discord on the year anniversary of the album.

[Damaris]

Oh, okay. I didn't know that.

[Rory]

Everyone that bought a vinyl and everyone on Discord and Patreon got that.

[Maul]

That.

[Damaris]

Okay. Yeah, they were. They were talking about. I was like, I didn't know. The album's coming out in a month. Thank y'all.

[Rory]

Well, no, the album's not. Someone misspoke there.

[Damaris]

Oh, okay. I was like, well, damn.

[Rory]

No, I'm putting out three records before the album comes out, so.

[Damaris]

Well, make sure you sign up for our Patreon and sign up for our Discord. And again, our Patreon will be getting the.

[Rory]

Tell me would sound good on that.

[Damaris]

The video ad free now, cuz, I know y'all tired of the YouTube ads, which a lot of them we don't have any control over. I'm sorry. YouTube does that. But make sure you go to Patreon to $10 tier and $20 tier. We'll get the video without any ads on it at all.

[Maul]

All right. Be safe, be blessed. We'll be back in a couple of days to kick it with you. I'm that nigga. He's just ginger.

[Damaris]

Peace, New worry and mouse.
