Find the girl that, oh, she's on the same type of time I am.

[Mal]

Same rhythm. Absolutely.

[Rory]

So, yeah, he's gonna sit there and. Something wrong.

[Damaris]

Somebody making a crab boy or something in this building.

[Rory]

I'm sorry.

[Damaris]

Me a peach beef. I'm sorry.

[Rory]

Nah, it's the papa dough coming off your skipping.

[Mal]

Yeah. Using papa dose. He was a Papa dose for 11 hours. What you expect?

[Rory]

Like your hair smell like restaurant.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like your hair smelling like a fish boil right now. Like a crab boy. Stay out of papa Doe's.

[Damaris]

Well, what was going on in the. In the culture while I was, you know, I was outside touching grass? As. As one might say I was touching grass.

[Rory]

Like in the half vacation I had, we were sort of outside. I went to a psychic.

[Mal]

Did you?

[Damaris]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[Rory]

Yeah. By the way, psychics are real.

[Mal]

Psychics are not real, man.

[Rory]

I said the same thing. It was all a bunch of LOLs. Ha ha ha. We should go see a psychic. That would be fun. And then we got in there and named every one of my family members, named y'all by name. And I'm like, I didn't make an appointment. Like it's. I was a walker.

[Mal]

She knows you. She watches the show.

[Rory]

That seven year old white, her husband in the kitchen, breathing louder than the old boy from. Hey, Arnold.

[Mal]

Oh, you went to a psychic that was in her own house.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Mal]

Okay. Tax write off. I like, I like the way she's going so far. Use the house as a business, write that off on the taxes. And that's kind of similar to what the oracle was in the Matrix. She was in her kitchen.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Mal]

She knew everything that was going to happen. Was it a black woman?

[Rory]

No, it was an old white woman. Her husband. Like it wasn't even really a divider between the kitchen and that. It was just like.

[Mal]

Like you and you in the crib. Yeah.

[Rory]

Pouring more maple syrup on his French toast than I've ever seen a human being do.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So I was like, oh, this is totally giving me word. This is gonna be hilarious.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Me and the people. People I was with were laughing like, this is exactly what we thought this was going to be. Let's have some fun. We watched Carmen hip hop opera right before we were clowning Wyclef and Beyonce.

[Mal]

You in the second cards.

[Rory]

The cards don't lie. This is on our way to go see the psycho.

[Mal]

Oh, okay.

[Rory]

Like when Beyonce was going, no, no, no, no. Anytime. Wyclef put.

[Mal]

Yeah, the cards.

[Rory]

That was the funniest scene.

[Mal]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Rory]

I need that soundtrack on dsps. So we get in there all giggles. And then that tore us all apart. Told us about every bit of our lives. Knew everyone's names. That is real. I didn't know she was working with the devil or Jesus, but I was terrified.

[Mal]

Well, what was she saying?

[Rory]

I don't. I can't really get into it because it was so personal.

[Mal]

Sorry. Okay.

[Rory]

Yeah, it was.

[Mal]

So do you kind of like it was worth it?

[Rory]

I don't know. Because all she did with the first session for all of us was just prove that she was for real and it wasn't some Ms. Cleo. And boy, was she right. I have to. I'm scared to go to the next session. She gave me her car. She's like, when you want to, like, know some. This was. This was me just proving that I know what's going on in your life. Like naming names.

[Mal]

She named my name.

[Rory]

No good. But you were brought up for sure.

[Mal]

How does she know?

[Rory]

She brought up my mom's name and type 1 diabetes. Out the gate.

[Mal]

Gate? Really?

[Rory]

She, one of the people I was with, sat down first, and she started this shit out. Just out the gate. We were sitting there. She was like, yo, close your eyes and, you know, touch some crystals or some shit, thinking nothing. She walks to the kitchen, come back, open your eyes. Who's Michael? This chick's face just got pale, like. How do you know about Michael? I'm not going to get into the specifics, but she knew every last thing about Michael and what was going on that day. It was the scariest fucking thing I've ever. I was terrified. Like, we were really shook walking out of that. Like, we were trying to giggle to get over how scared we were.

[Mal]

See? Nah, that's why you got to take me with you, because she would have said, who's Mike? I'd have. Like, which Michael.

[Rory]

No, that's what she said to the psychic. And then she. The psychic let her know which Michael.

[Mal]

Started breaking down like that. Michael.

[Rory]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mal]

Okay. Got you. Yeah. I don't know how I feel about psychics, man. The little chick downstairs, right next door, they be trying to get me in there. Every time I walk past, I'm like, yo, get out of here. I'm not.

[Rory]

I just want to know how they pay the rent.

[Mal]

Rent.

[Rory]

Because that's. I mean, you write. You want to block that cost. I know what we pay for this. And you got the storefront. And I've never seen one person in it. We were so shook after the sidekick, we went the following.

[Mal]

This is pissing me off. My ocd. Good.

[Rory]

We went the following. That's what the psychic brought up about you.

[Mal]

Ocd.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Great.

[Rory]

It's from trauma in your past. Yeah, I'll get into it. It's okay. We went to go get our aura pictures taken the following day just because we were trying to, like, balance off how terrified we were. And, you know, that made me feel a little bit better.

[Damaris]

What's your aura? What color your. What it's looking like.

[Rory]

Oh, I should have brought the picture. I could bring it up for Patreon and we can go through it.

[Mal]

The color of your aura.

[Rory]

Yeah. What it can change. But mine, it was reds and purples.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

Told me really good things about myself.

[Mal]

Good.

[Rory]

Which actually match with the psychic. I will say the psychic. I'll give you guys this much. Maybe I'll get into more on Patreon about the psychic. She said, you have a really good heart. This is how it started after she tore Shorty up. And I was like, like, damn, it's my turn now. I sit down. She's like, you have a really good heart. I was like, yes, because she tore apart first sentence. Yeah, but you carry this dark cloud of depression over you, so you never use that good heart. I was like, jesus Christ.

[Damaris]

Four plus four.

[Rory]

It's like, what?

[Mal]

She ate you right up. You had to pay to get 8 up 100. That's crazy.

[Rory]

I left feeling more depressed, and she had her hand out like, you owe me this.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, like that. That cost. That's gonna cost you you. Wow. Okay. Though that was more adventurous than what I did.

[Rory]

I mean, did you leave the state? You were talking about going to a beach.

[Mal]

Yeah. No, I didn't. I went to. Instead. I went to the. The post. You know, the little postcard cabins and skills. I went. I was. I was gonna do two nights. I was like, let me do one. I was like, I don't think I do two nights alone in no cat in woods. Like, I'm not doing that. Yeah.

[Rory]

All right. But you didn't go to the one that is always on the Instagram ad where you're like, damn, Everyone I know from Instagram is probably that.

[Mal]

Not, not that one.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mal]

Yeah, it was, it was. But it's the same type of. Not, not that particular one, but the same type of. Because I always wanted to do it, but I was like, I want. I was gonna do two nights, but I was like, let me start with one and just. And I'm glad I did one night because two nights is. Is a little crazy.

[Rory]

Just dolo.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Do you wanna know yourself?

[Mal]

Smoke some, you know, smoke, chill, have some food. It's a lot of. Let me start this. It's a lot of trash ass music out here.

[Damaris]

Oh, my God.

[Mal]

I listen to a lot of music. Like just, you know, and alone in the cabin. I'm just listening. Let me just listen to music while I'm out here sitting here smoking. Smoking. I'm like, it's a lot of bad. I think we, we don't, we don't realize how much bad music is like really in the space. Yeah, we don't. It's a lot of trash music out here. A lot of cats that people think is dope and town. That is garbage, man. Yeah. I'm just saying that's. Just get away from the noise, get away from the city. Go somewhere, just be alone and just listen to music. Yo. It's a lot of bad music out here.

[Rory]

I was, was with young people over our break and there was two things I learned similar to what you're saying. Their music tastes awful.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And they stay on FaceTime all day.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

They never get off FaceTime. Like, even if it's a quick question, they won't text. They will be on FaceTime. I'll be driving in the car, not realizing she's been on FaceTime for four hours.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

No clue. She'll leave FaceTime and then leave the room and they'll. Other people be on Face. They treat it like clubhouse.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, how much data you got?

[Mal]

Yeah. No, I've seen somebody on FaceTime but wasn't even looking at the phone. Didn't even have the phone in their hand. The phone was in their pocket. On FaceTime. I'm like, they pulled the phone out. You just see somebody on FaceTime. I'm like, you've been talking to that person on FaceTime this whole time you were standing here? Yeah. Why? Why not just make it a voice call? Like, why is it FaceTime?

[Damaris]

Well, Ma, you have ADHD like me. I mean, yours is a little bit more seasoned, but like, we've had the conversation before. When I tell you I Talk on the phone instead of listening to music. To clean. If I'm. If somebody's face is on my phone, I won't scroll on my phone. Does that make sense?

[Mal]

No, but you're missing what I'm saying, baby. D. The phone was in their pocket.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

And the person was on FaceTime.

[Damaris]

Well, they must have. You know, maybe they were on their way somewhere.

[Rory]

They were leaving their phone in other rooms and going to other rooms for hours and coming back. And the FaceTime conversation was still going. Like, you could just hang up.

[Damaris]

No.

[Rory]

And you could join. Join later.

[Mal]

I'm not mad at that. If it's just a voice call, then, yeah, you could walk around, do what you want. But having somebody sitting in their bed on FaceTime and you got the phone in your pocket, and then you pull it out and then you see somebody. Like, I. You know, if you pull your phone right now and I'm sitting next to you, baby, I can just see that somebody's on FaceTime. And I'm like, yo, this whole time you've been on FaceTime with this person with your phone in your pocket.

[Rory]

It's Clubhouse. Like, you know, on Clubhouse, you'd be on stage, but you'd mute it and maybe go do some shit. That's how they treat FaceTime. And then on top of that, I didn't know you could share a screen. They're on TikTok together, just going through reels and shit on FaceTime.

[Mal]

Yeah. The world's crazy.

[Rory]

It blew my mind.

[Mal]

Yeah. Going into the. Into the woods and being in the cabin like that. It really lets you know exactly how much we depend on, like, technology. And because I'm not gonna lie, I started getting anxiety a little bit. I'm like, damn. Like, I'm not away from society, but it felt like it. And I'm just like, imagine if this was everyday life. Like, it's this quiet. You don't see nobody if you don't want to. I was like, I don't know if I could live like that yet. I still want to see people and hear cars pass by. Like, I'm from the city. I'm from New York. I need some type of noise while I'm in the grave.

[Rory]

That's. You gotta get that noise app. Traffic, Rain noises. So I go to sleep.

[Mal]

Sleep. Really? Traffic noises.

[Rory]

I've done traffic noises before. Like highway traffic. Not just, like, horns.

[Mal]

I was about to say, like, that's how you go to sleep. Like, something's wrong with you.

[Rory]

It's relaxed sounds. Well, this Was rain, but, yeah, heavy rain. Waterfall, fountain. Where's it at?

[Mal]

Go to the traffic.

[Damaris]

What is traffic? I didn't.

[Mal]

Oops.

[Rory]

I go to sleep here.

[Damaris]

All right.

[Mal]

That could be wind and rain.

[Damaris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

No, it's.

[Mal]

I need to hear horns.

[Rory]

It's not like Bronx outside.

[Mal]

I thought it was move the out the way. I thought it was that type of.

[Rory]

Like, traffic, you know? I could probably go to sleep that way.

[Mal]

Oh, that's New York.

[Rory]

But I. I finally understand why, like, these younger people, their friendships break up so quick and the relationships break up. Y'all talk all goddamn day, all day. There's nothing to look forward to or even learn about each other.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You literally sit for 12 hours on FaceTime with your friend.

[Mal]

It's crazy. We live in a crazy.

[Rory]

Of course you're not gonna be friends with them in a week.

[Mal]

Yeah. Our social. Our social relationships and our social health is. You need to check your social health sometimes. I think that's why I was like, let me just go. Like, I always wanted to spend that time in one of those little cabins, just to see what it was like. I probably won't ever do it again, but it was cool.

[Rory]

You should do it with a young lady.

[Mal]

Maybe. Maybe I'll try that next time. Try to take a lady with me and see how that works. But it was cool, though. It wasn't bad. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Glad I only did one night, but. Yeah. I don't know if I'll do it again anytime soon.

[Rory]

Yeah, I did that, like, three Christmases ago. Christmas Eve.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Four, maybe. We went up Catskills in that area. And, like, I'm not, like, I. I do pride myself in being a masculine man. I know how to fix things. Tires. I can fix it around the house. I'm. You know, I'm. I. I still have tasks. Rabbit, don't get me wrong. Crazy.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But when you try to impress a girl with your, like, wilderness skills and. And you've never really chopped wood with, like, a real ax.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

It's a little embarrassing on Christmas Eve.

[Mal]

Trying to make firewood.

[Rory]

I got the grill going. I'm feeling myself at this point.

[Mal]

Think you're a man? Yeah, I think you're a man.

[Rory]

Mind you, there's a pile of wood that the company already cut. No, no, I need. I need my wood. Yeah, I need Kindle.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

That hit me in the back. Yeah.

[Mal]

You don't want. You don't know how hard that. Your hands. I would like. Oh, My God, the first time I did that, I did not realize when you hit wood with an ax, what it does to your hands.

[Rory]

Hey, vibrant.

[Mal]

I'm like, yeah. Like, people sit here all day and chop wood. That's why when you ever meet those people and you shake their hands, I feel like you shook the hand of a grizzly bear. Yeah. It's like, yo, the. Are you doing every chopping wood and.

[Rory]

Then I'm sitting there blaming the ax.

[Mal]

Yeah. This act. Oh, this is dull.

[Rory]

No. 100. Like, they didn't even sharpen. They probably got the good one up in the shed by. They like. Yeah, they're hoarding the good one.

[Mal]

You want to know if you're a man, go and try to live wilderness. Go try to live in the woods. Pitch a tent. Let me see you put a tent up. Do you know how to put a tent up?

[Rory]

With or without directions?

[Mal]

Doesn't matter.

[Rory]

It would take me a while. I know I could do it, but it wouldn't be a swift. If the rain was coming, We're.

[Mal]

Yeah, like. Like, if we had to get minutes. Yeah.

[Rory]

If it's at dusk, we sleeping outside. We'll do this in the morning because it's going to take me a while. And I'm always the one that will just look at the box, not directions. So halfway through, when I'm getting the stakes in, I realize I skipped. Skipped the most important step and have to take the whole thing down. Yeah, like, we won't have a roof now.

[Mal]

Yeah. Step one, the sleeping bags. Yeah, Just put the sleeping bags on the floor.

[Rory]

I do think about that. Like in Castaway. I know it's a movie, but I'm like, I'm dead. Oh, it's like, that's not happening.

[Mal]

Yeah. I would have died. There's no way. I'm not. I'm not gonna think to take a coconut and make sneakers. Like, I'm not. My brain doesn't go there. Like, I'm gonna just drink the coconut water and throw that shit away when I'm done. Like. Like, maybe make a little cool hat helmet or something. I don't know. Like sneakers. This. Made sneakers out of coke.

[Rory]

Threw a spear from the other side of the island and it landed on a fish.

[Mal]

Yeah. Nah.

[Rory]

When I don't like fish, but I mean, for survival, I guess I would do it. I kind of know how to fillet a fish when you catch one, but I wouldn't know. Like, I don't know my fish.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, the fish that he hit with the sword, like, Is that eatable? And, like, what do I eat?

[Mal]

Oh, oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Like, some fish can be toxic and you're not supposed to eat. I wouldn't know.

[Rory]

From my understanding, every berry kills you.

[Mal]

Only Tropicana knows which one. And I like mushrooms. Some mushrooms will kill you in the. In the forest. So I wouldn't survive.

[Damaris]

Would you do the drinking piss thing? Like, could you survive off that?

[Mal]

Drink my own piss?

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Mal]

Absolutely not. I'm not that thirsty.

[Damaris]

Y'all said y'all would let somebody on y'all for a million, but you wouldn't drink your own piss.

[Mal]

I'm not. I didn't say somebody could. In my mouth for a million dollars.

[Rory]

Okay, like, now that it's on the.

[Mal]

Table, like, in my mouth, Absolutely not. Drink my own piss. I'm not doing that. I'm not that thirsty.

[Rory]

But isn't that. That won't help you.

[Mal]

Yes.

[Rory]

That's just like a kink.

[Damaris]

No, no. That's how people survive.

[Rory]

Now you're just being freaky in the woods for no reason by yourself.

[Damaris]

That's how people survive when they. Like.

[Mal]

Like, who survived like that, man? Who. You know that said, yo, yo, it was rough. I had to drink my own piss. Who. You know, whose story had his arm.

[Rory]

Under the rock for a week and didn't drink his piss?

[Mal]

Yeah, who drank their piss that you drank?

[Damaris]

It was in a movie. Let me look at it.

[Mal]

In a movie. I'm talking about real. You asking me in real life would I drink my piss? I'm telling you, no.

[Rory]

Bad for you. I don't think that would help you.

[Mal]

But if Tarantino had it in the script, maybe I would do it. Like, you know what I mean? But in real life, no, I'm not doing that. Drink your own. Wasn't it a boxer that did that? Probably, yeah, it was a boxer that did that. I think he drank. He said it's like. It's a lot of nutrients in your urine.

[Damaris]

Oh, yeah. It says that urine should not be consumed. Urine should not be consumed in a survival situation, even when no other fluid is available, because urine tends to worsen it because it has a lot of salt in it. I didn't know piss was salty.

[Mal]

Yeah. Juan. Juan Manuel Marquez, he drank his own urine.

[Rory]

And then there was that one. Isn't there, like, a piss influencer?

[Damaris]

Yeah, I remember him.

[Rory]

I forgot.

[Damaris]

We talked. We talked about it.

[Mal]

Ms. Be nasty.

[Rory]

Yo, first of all, that's liquid gold.

[Mal]

Yeah, that is coconut water. Absolutely.

[Rory]

That's what Tom that would cure Flint. My bad.

[Mal]

All I'm saying is not too soon. It's been a very miss Be nasty move from the west coast. And then it was LA fires. That's all I'm saying. Man, if she was still out there we would never saw them fight.

[Rory]

The water source that J.D. vance was.

[Mal]

She could have saved everybody.

[Damaris]

Insensitive I guess.

[Rory]

Well leave it. The piss influencer is crazy. I just feel it in my muscles. It gives me a lot of clarity.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Damaris]

So yeah.

[Rory]

Mall I'm here to talk to you and all of the artists out there about our guys over at Distro. Kid Distrokid makes music distribution super easy and they never take a cut of your royalties, which to me is probably the most important thing. Especially for the up and coming artists. It's the easiest way to get your music into all the streaming services and stores like Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music as well as social platforms like TikTok and Instagram. That's like one of the toughest things I feel like for up and coming artists. How do I even get my stuff on DSPs? DistroKid distributes your music to over 150 stores worldwide. Mal I have been releasing music over I don't know how many years. Whether it be my stuff or people I'm working with, Distrokid is like the first step when it comes to figuring out what you need to do to get it out to the world. Without this step, nothing even really matters.

[Mal]

Your Distrokid membership also comes with a ton of free products and features to help you promote your Music. Starting at 22.99, you can upload and distribute as much music as possible and keep 100% of your royalties. I like the sound of that. Royal. Even 100 of your royalties is definitely a selling point.

[Rory]

Across a wide range of industries industries to hear how they reach the top.

[Mal]

Of their fields and the lessons they.

[Rory]

Learned along the way that everyone can use. I'll be joined by innovative leaders like Chairman and CEO of Health Beauty, Tarang Amin. The way I approach risk is constantly try things and actually make it okay to fail. I'm sitting down with legendary singer, songwriter and philanthropist Jewel.

[Mal]

I wanted a way to do something that I loved for the rest of my life.

[Rory]

We're also hearing how leaders brought their businesses out of unprecedented times, like Stephane Bonsell, CEO of Moderna.

This ex situation that's been going on. The ex has been going crazy. Mine too. I ain't going to lie. When I was in Houston, but the ex has been going crazy.

[Mal]

Car don't just skip over that.

[Rory]

Why was it was a weird transition, but now it was a good one.

[Mal]

Why was your ex going crazy?

[Damaris]

We ain't going to talk about why.

[Mal]

Was your ex going crazy while you was in Houston?

[Damaris]

All it took was a Houston. All it took was a Houston trip to flip the tables out of ho.

[Mal]

Damn, he went crazy. Just saw you in Houston having a good time and that was it.

[Rory]

I'mma shoot homie some bail. If, if I see my. My ex going to Houston, I'm. I'm gonna wonder what's going on, but why it's not a little R R, but why not there to go find.

[Damaris]

R and R is funny as.

[Mal]

But why I gotta be Houston? It could be anywhere. Like, if you want to know what your ex has got going on, like it's just Houston or like if my girl went to my ex girl went to, I don't know, Mississippi, I would be like, what do you do?

[Rory]

It's not a retreat in Utah.

[Mal]

I'm like, what are you doing in Mississippi? Like, like, you know what I'm saying? Like Mississippi.

[Rory]

Like she's studying history. I don't know.

[Mal]

Yeah, but I would want to know. It's not just Houston for me is what I'm saying.

[Rory]

I'm saying it's just Houston and it's.

[Mal]

Depending on what type of ex though. Is it an ex that I'm still like, you Know, we still. We working on. We got. We going through something right now, and we kind of just not seen eye to eye. Or if it's that X where it's like, yo, I don't ever want to see you. Like, if it's that type of ex, I don't care what she's doing, but if it's my ex, I'm just like. Like, yeah, we going through something, man. We going. You know? So that looked like that's what baby D is. Baby. They just going, no, I'm just content.

[Damaris]

Cardi B.

[Mal]

Okay?

[Rory]

And I know the marriage's ego. She wasn't mad at that text. She was like, yeah, you see me?

[Mal]

Damaris did that. She posted all of that. Hope, let me tell you.

[Rory]

This is why close friends.

[Mal]

Hold on. This is why I don't. With Damaris, because she know good and goddamn well she was posting all of that hoping that homie was blowing her phone. If he didn't blow her phone up and was going crazy after she posted all that, Damaris would have been upset.

[Rory]

But that's why.

[Mal]

That's the games women play.

[Rory]

That's why homie had to hold it down and pretend like he didn't even see nothing.

[Mal]

Nah, he can't do that. She know he can't do that.

[Rory]

Just go past the circle.

[Mal]

Nah, you can't do that. You can't see a girl wearing that cat suit like that and not. Ain't no way in hell you gotta.

[Rory]

Hit her phone and you just did her laundry. Like, when'd she get this? I've never even seen this in her closet.

[Mal]

Doing your girl laundry while she in Houston is fucking crazy.

[Rory]

I'm saying right before.

[Damaris]

I'm not that ill. I wish I was that ill. Yo.

[Mal]

Doing your girl laundry, that you open your phone and she in Houston with a cat suit on in the club. Have some pride. Where's your pride at? You in here washing her underwear and she in Houston shaking ass?

[Rory]

That is wild.

[Mal]

Nah, you bugging homie. She ain't gonna never respect you for that.

[Rory]

She was doing Ayahuasca out there.

[Mal]

Yeah. Was that his name? That's his name. Ayahuasca.

[Rory]

All right.

[Mal]

That's what's up.

[Rory]

Imagine going to your girl's phone. Is he in Texas from Ayahuasca? That's the new dominoes. Yeah, that's how it works. Sometimes you get a call.

[Damaris]

Yeah, that's how it works.

[Mal]

Yeah. But cardi being offset. I feel like we talk about Cardi being offset at least once a month. They Let us not. Yeah, they pull us into their group chat. So I saw Cardi talking about something on IG Live and saying that Offset has been making her life a little rough post breakup, post divorce. He's been harassing her. He's been. You know, I think he sent some. Some of the sex tapes.

[Damaris]

Fuck all that, Ma. What are you doing? If you are in a relationship with a girl and her ex sends you a video of him fucking her? What you doing?

[Mal]

If I'm in a relationship with a girl and her ex sends me a video of them having sex?

[Rory]

1. How'd you get my number?

[Mal]

Yeah, let's start there. How'd you get my number? I would obviously ask my girl. We would talk about Leo. Homie just sent me this video. Like, what's up with this? I just want to know if. Is it recent?

[Damaris]

If it's old. Let's say it's old, and I know it's old. It's her ex husband. Yeah, it's old.

[Mal]

I'm like, yo, what's up with this weird dude? Like, what's up with him? Like, why is homie sending me the videos of y'all? Like, what type of crazy shit is that? Like, why are you sending me videos of my girlfriend when y'all were together? Like, that's just weird. Like, I don't even. I don't even understand how. Again, I don't know if this. Has this been proven to be true or. Cardi just said it.

[Damaris]

I don't think she would lie about that. But, I mean, she just said, okay.

[Mal]

So let's say it's true. Why would Offset even do that, though? Like, what is the. What is. Now I can understand if he did it and they just, like, linked up last night.

[Damaris]

Even. Even that you should.

[Mal]

No, but I'm saying you shouldn't do that. But I understand if he's doing it like that. But if this is when y'all was together and y'all haven't been together and I don't know how long, it's like, that's just weird because it's like, yo, bro, like, this is. I wasn't even with her when y'all just. Y'all. Y'all shot. Y'all made this video. Like, why are you sending me this?

[Damaris]

When y'all shot this thing?

[Rory]

Obviously, y'all shot this scene.

[Mal]

Yeah, obviously y'all had sex. Y'all got a family. Like, obviously. Duh. Okay. What is this?

[Damaris]

Playing video game with your son? I know y'all had sex.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Like, oh, my Bad. I'm disrespectful. See, don't do. Like, that's for me.

[Mal]

Nah, See, but I wouldn't even. I wouldn't even meet him with disrespect, though. I would be like, yo, dude, this dude is crazy. Like, what is he. Why is he sending me this? Yeah, I wouldn't meet him with disrespect and send him a video of Cardi sucking me off. Like. Like, I would. Because I seen some people say, yo, he gotta send the video back a Cardi.

[Damaris]

Like, yo.

[Mal]

And I'm like, nah, why would you do that? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, why would y'all even think of going that route? I would just be more concerned. Like, yo, what's up with this dude? What is he trying to get out of sending me this video?

[Rory]

You guys know I'm not mature, but I would go the mature. Like, I would just look at him like a weirdo. Like, what's. What are you doing?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, are you. You need real help.

[Mal]

Yeah, I don't. I just don't understand that.

[Rory]

I don't think that y'all have had sex. Do you think? I think my girl didn't have sex with her exes.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, what are we proving?

[Mal]

It's just. It's just. That's what I said. Now, if this is a recent hookup.

[Rory]

Even then it's weird. Even if y'all are cruising over everyone's unprotected, y'all be like, yo, you just with. I just with her, and I'm mad raw, and I her like, ah, cool. That's a conversation if you want to have it.

[Mal]

Right.

[Rory]

But exchanging game film, I just don't really see. Yeah, I'm not the point of that entire thing.

[Mal]

Yeah, I've never. I've never been into. I've never even been into, like, when. When dudes have, like, you know, sex with girls and they're like, yo, I was shorty last night. We went crazy. And then they try to show you. I'm like, I don't want to talk about this.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Like, I'm like, yo, like, it makes me mad uncomfortable. Yeah. Like, that's just. I don't know. It's just weird to me. And sending a dude that.

[Rory]

It's illegal.

[Mal]

It's illegal. But then it's like, why are you sending this video to this. Her new dude?

[Damaris]

I think it's an egotistical thing. Like, like, kind of a. I own that. That's always gonna be mine. That's my ex wife type thing. But it just. It comes. If it did happen, it comes across very corny.

[Mal]

Okay, well, if you own it, then why I'm in here playing with her balloon knot? Oh, if you own it.

[Rory]

Because he doesn't.

[Mal]

Like, I'm she in my bed right now.

[Rory]

Like, I don't know.

[Mal]

Obviously you don't.

[Rory]

These are we don't know rumors. Whatever. What is Offset's goal right now? Because before it was like, get your family back. Cool. I'm on that time. I get. Get your family back, bro.

[Mal]

He's hurt.

[Rory]

This doesn't get your family back.

[Mal]

No, he's.

[Rory]

Cardi B's not gonna be like, like, damn, he sent you that video. I forgot about that one. What he doing? No, she be like, yo, you're a weirdo. This is illegal. Cardi B didn't like, grab a new man's phone. Like, man, I miss him. No, she probably went, this is disgusting. And grossed. Why is this the father of my kids?

[Mal]

And. And then Offset is playing a danger. Cuz with women. You're not going to. You're not going to win in that game with women.

[Rory]

Women, you're not going to win in the court of law with Cardi B. As we seen. And now you're sending porn of her. That's illegal.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's just you don't play that game with women because women can crush a man's ego so easily. Like, you're gonna lose that game. Like, why would you even try to jump into that type of arena with a woman? Like, you're gonna lose that. Like, first of all, it's weird like you said, but a woman could. Cardi could literally crush Offset's entire ego if she wanted to.

[Damaris]

She gotta send him a video of her of. Of him nutting on her teeth and spelling his name. You gotta drag it.

[Mal]

Wow. How do we get.

[Damaris]

You gotta drag it. You gotta drag. I wouldn't do it. I'm just saying. But, you know, how did we get there? She gotta drag it.

[Mal]

Yeah, but Damaris, where's your brain at? Like, how did you even go to that?

[Rory]

Their parents. Like, how did your celebrity parents. They should keep all of their sex stuff in their camera roll.

[Damaris]

Oh, yes, very true, very true. I'm sorry.

[Mal]

Sending a video of him nutting on your teeth.

[Rory]

And first of all, if I'm the new man now, I think it's. Let's. Let's say that scenario happened. And let's not even say car. I'm dating a woman that is going through A breakup with her ex husband.

[Damaris]

Nasty breakup.

[Rory]

And that. He sends that video to me. I'm like, this is weird. And then she goes, all right, take your phone out and nut on my face, and I'll send it to him. I'm like, y'all two deserve each other. Get away from. All of you are weird. No, I'm not nutting on your face to send your ex husband.

[Damaris]

Yeah, all of that is crazy.

[Rory]

And, I mean, she's already bruised his ego. Like, that's how we even got here.

[Mal]

Yeah, I just.

[Rory]

I wish they'd leave us out the group chat.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's. It's looking bad for Offset, though. I mean, I. You know, you gotta. You gotta have some type of pride. And, you know, y'all got a family together no matter what happens, whether she's with you or not. So there's a certain way you're supposed to carry yourself throughout the breakup, the divorce, certain things you're not supposed to do ever as men is. And that's one of them. Sending her new dude a sex tape of. Of. Of y'all is just. That's just not. Man, that's just not we supposed to do.

[Rory]

So do you think it was Robert Kraft dancing with her that really did it? That pushed Offset over the edge?

[Mal]

Nah, that was the last thing. I think it was her getting out of Stefan's car.

[Rory]

Well, I mean, there's a reason why Robert Kraft had the access to bring her out at the Patriots party for the execs.

[Mal]

Was that a recent video?

[Rory]

I don't know. I thought it was.

[Mal]

I thought that was the super bowl when she. They had asked her to do the super bowl that year.

[Rory]

Oh, maybe it was. Was. But it's funnier in the timeline of this.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

Because that's what everyone was saying, like.

[Damaris]

So we did confirm that Stefan Diggs is her new man. I don't know.

[Mal]

I mean, he. She was just getting out of his car at a hotel late at night.

[Rory]

Oh.

[Damaris]

I mean, that happened.

[Mal]

They could have went upstairs and just, you know, played pinochle. I don't know.

[Damaris]

Espresso martinis. For sure.

[Mal]

Yeah. Making sure she got home safe and talked to.

[Rory]

The sun went up. I saw he slept on the couch.

[Mal]

Stefanzo. He seems like a good guy. He's gonna make sure women get home.

[Rory]

Woman's hotel room. And not like that happens.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And, yeah, they seem.

[Mal]

I've also went up to a girl's hotel room and did.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

So, yes, I've done both. Yeah, I've done both. I Just do. Pick, pick. Which.

[Rory]

If you were to balance the two out, which. Which is the more probable ending?

[Mal]

Oh, we. Yeah, we're going upstairs and we doing what we got to do.

[Damaris]

For sure.

[Mal]

Not always, but he's in training.

[Rory]

Maybe he's, you know, preserving his testosterone.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

That's all he's doing.

[Mal]

I can see that. Absolutely.

[Damaris]

I love when we bullshitting Mom. Be like, he just agree with us. He's like.

[Mal]

I mean. Cause, yeah, I mean, I don't know for sure what they did, but, you know, I mean, they could have just went upstairs and just talked and.

[Damaris]

Have you ever had an extra to ruin your life or ruin your. Your next relationship?

[Mal]

No, I told you, I've never. Y'all laughing whenever I say I don't have those toxic ex relationships. I've had girls that have tried that said they was gonna do things and never did it. But no, I never had those. Unfortunately, I never had those type of relationships where once it's over, you stop dating a woman. Like, then she turns out to be this crazy psychopath that tries to ruin your life and disrupt what you got going on. I've been fortunate enough to never have that happen.

[Damaris]

Rory, you've never had a girl contact the new girl?

[Rory]

Contact the new girl?

[Mal]

No.

[Rory]

I mean, I've had the threats of ruining your life, but it always failed because I. I replied with, okay, do it. Because it was never, like, damaging info. Just like, okay, yeah, tell the timeline. But no, not really. Of course, I've had the back and forths, and there's been again, threats, but nothing really in that regard. And I don't know if I've ever. Maybe like, in college, I had two girls I was not dating, but with that conspired and talked to each other and knocked on my dorm room door, and I was like, hey, you guys know each other. But that's pretty much, like, as far as it's gone, I think. Unless there's been a whole conspiracy that's been plotted for years, you never know what.

[Damaris]

Maybe.

[Rory]

Yeah, in 2030, it could just all come together. But.

[Damaris]

Rolling Stone article about Rory being a.

[Mal]

But is that really an article? Like, that's what I'm saying.

[Damaris]

Like, if you write it.

[Mal]

Well, I don't even know what a. What a woman could even use to ruin my life. Like, what do you. I don't have no crazy in my. My life in my. In the closet like, that I'm doing, like. So that's why I was like, I don't even know what a woman could Even try to use, like, what would you say? Or what would you do?

[Damaris]

Well, when we say that, it's more like exes who don't want your new relationship to flourish so they'll come and, like, make enough of a ruckus that a woman doesn't even want to bother with you.

[Mal]

Like, ruckus how? What's the ruckus? Like showing up to my crib.

[Damaris]

Showing up to your crib harassing a new girl. Making it seem like, to the point where the girl. Cause, you know, eventually, like, sometimes women, we have these thoughts because I've been through that on both. Not on both sides, but I've been through that as the woman where it's like, nah, everybody ain't. This girl ain't just crazy. Like, she not just acting like this. And he's like, no, she's genuinely crazy. She's genuinely crazy. But you do start to doubt that. Like, well, it's like, well, you know what? I'm gonna leave you alone until you get whatever the this is figured out. So.

[Mal]

I've never. Again, I've never. I don't really think I. I think you could kind of see that in a person before you really get into a deep relationship with somebody that they have that trait in them.

[Damaris]

Crazy trait.

[Mal]

Yeah, like, and I. I always try to stay clear of like, like crazy women with those type of toxic traits that I feel like once it's over, you know, if, you know, obviously doesn't work out, that she would become that type of woman. I tried to stay clear. Those type of women. I don't really.

[Rory]

Some. Some are good at hiding it, though.

[Mal]

No, 100%. 100%. But like I said, I've been fortunate enough to never ever had experienced that ever in my life.

[Rory]

Yeah. I mean, I. With girls I've talked to. That's happened more than my relationships.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, if I was fucking with two people that weren't exclusive, whatever, they've definitely showed up and tried to hate on whatever girl they knew. I was also talking like, that's happened, but not at the expense of a Rolling Stone article.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, I mean, if you get caught cheating, that's different.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Like, you can expect a woman to flip out. You can expect a woman to flip out if you caught cheating. 100. She's in the right. But like, once the relationship is over and she's like, showing up to the crib and. Or showing up to my new girl's spot and her. Her job and do. I've never.

[Rory]

But I mean, to me. Yeah. Cheating stuff. Being a dirt bag in itself is not a good thing. Like, I think people should look at you weird if you've done dirt bag moves and had no redemption or change at all. But that, to me, isn't like, ruining your life. Would be more so on, like, the physical abuse side or like, some like that. So I. Yeah, you can tell them. When I was 25, I was a piece of and cheated. All right, I'll agree. But, yo, I did.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I'm not proud of it. Like, I've been trying to become a better person. Like, I was feeling my insecurity. Yeah, whatever.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Or I was just selfish.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But I mean, consensual sex with no physical abuse. I just don't really know what's going on here.

[Mal]

Yeah, I don't. It's not much of a story there, but. Yeah, it is what it is. Okay. But Cardi and Offset definitely need to take us out the group chat.

[Rory]

They could go the offset route, which, again, we know this could be rumors. People could just lie and make up. Give it to bloggers. Like, I'm not saying someone couldn't come out here and lie on me.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

That could happen any day. To try to. People get their lives ruined them based off lies every day. So, you know, remember when I was.

[Mal]

Trying to push that story about me being gay? Look what they try to say.

[Damaris]

They tried to say you was gay, dad.

[Mal]

No, they was gonna try to push. They was gonna try to push some.

[Rory]

I remember where I was when Maul called me and told me that, and I said, we should push it, too.

[Damaris]

Take this.

[Rory]

We should go halves with them.

[Mal]

I'm like, yo, look, I'll pay some.

[Rory]

Of the PR people, too. It's a great time for this.

[Mal]

Look at this. People try to put on me, like, gay. Really? All right, man. It. Man, it is what it is.

[Rory]

I just didn't see where that, like, the end.

[Mal]

I don't know.

[Damaris]

Is that the worst. Is that the worst rumor you've ever heard about yourself? Is that your gay.

[Rory]

It was Dochi for me, for sure.

[Mal]

Oh, that you don't like. That's the one rumor.

[Rory]

What rumor? No, after that clown clip went viral and everyone was on me for dating black women and Dochi and all that entire thing.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Which I saw. Can I vent a little bit the way I was. Get your off over the break? Of course, I was still looking at our page and seeing how things were doing. Your morning routine clip went super viral.

[Mal]

And I still. I asked Peach. I was like, why I was in Williamsburg over the week. And I'm walking, and some dude was sitting down, drinking a latte, and he's looking at the clip, and I'm like, what world is this?

[Rory]

Like, he was doing his morning routine.

[Mal]

Yeah. I'm like, yo, why is this. Why is this morning routine thing going so viral? Like, it's.

[Rory]

I'm happy it went viral. Keep commenting. But it was just a representation of how I've been feeling for, like, over a year with podcasting. Like, remember when this used to be fun and the audience found it fun?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And everyone knew, like, a lot of this isn't. Just not everything has to be so serious.

[Mal]

Like.

[Rory]

Like, they were dissecting every vowel of how you felt about juice. It was like, dog, he was just talking shit. Like, why can't we have any fun anymore without it becoming fun?

[Mal]

Fun is outlawed now.

[Rory]

We were talking about that peach. Peach was like, yo, you guys were reacting to a man putting a banana peel on his face. This is what the think pieces are about.

[Mal]

Yeah, we just joking. It's just all fun, man. But I was serious, though. Don't drink no Tropicana first thing on the.

[Damaris]

Wake up. So I. Y'all see, And I was sticking up for Ma. I thought when Ma said juice, he meant like. Like white peach crayon. Like that first thing in the morning. Like, super, super, super sugary juices. That's what I thought I was referring to. So I'm like, yeah, nobody should. No adults should be starting their day with that much sugar. Then he said Tropicana. I'm like, mom, people can't drink orange juice.

[Mal]

Like, damn, orange juice.

[Rory]

That's for the rich. Because across the street right now, $8 for freshly squeezed orange juice. That's. I'm not paying $8 for this much orange juice.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

[Rory]

No, give me the process. You.

[Mal]

Or just have some fruit in the fridge and eat that and drink some water. That's all.

[Rory]

And then dunk your face in it after.

[Mal]

Yeah, exactly.

[Rory]

And then write a think piece about how this is destroying the world. And then after that, peach, like, oh, you getting killed right now. For the Patreon clip, I was like, thanks, Peach. Yeah, yeah, Patreon right now. We did the last draft for a while, but we did. Was it rapper and rapper.

[Mal]

Okay. Best rapper, producer, duo, and.

[Rory]

And mind you, everything, even when the context is there, the comments take it out of context. Now all of a sudden, everyone thinks, I think 40 is a better producer than Dr. Dre.

[Mal]

But is that what they got.

[Rory]

I didn't say that. I didn't even remotely say that.

[Mal]

No. You know how Demera says it's Peach's fault, the way he cut it up?

[Damaris]

It is Peach's fault.

[Rory]

I'm not blaming Peach. I used to blame Peach, and then I'd see all the comments like, yo, you guys put it out. Like, why could you blame if there's no content? No, I'm blaming y'all. At this point, the people that are listening. There's no way. You gathered from that clip that I think Dr. Dre is a worse producer than 40.

[Mal]

No. But now, see, this is the world we live in now. Not only am I responsible for what I say, I'm responsible for how you interpret it.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Interpret it.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mal]

That's the crazy part. Now, not only am I responsible for what I'm saying, I'm responsible for how.

[Rory]

You interpret it now and how offended you are that maybe I prefer someone doesn't drink juice in the morning. I didn't say you can't.

[Mal]

Right.

[Rory]

Do whatever you want to do.

[Mal]

Do whatever you want to do. I'm saying, when I got up morning and that young lady started drinking juice, I was just like, okay, I don't like that. And that's just me. That's all.

[Damaris]

Listen, we all have our things. We all have our things.

[Mal]

My bad, baby. Dad struck a chord with you. You. You got Tropicana in your fridge right now.

[Damaris]

No, I. No, I don't. I. You know, I wake up and drink.

[Mal]

Tea, but that's what I'm saying, baby. Keep that cuda cat healthy. That's how you got to do that. Whoa. Yeah.

[Damaris]

No, but I do know about. And I drink black tea because I do understand that you can't have your sugar that high. I. I won't. By the time I get here, I'll crash and I'll be falling asleep. I might. I understand that. But, you know, the great American breakfast is eggs, bacon, toast, and juice. Like, that's what people wake up and drink. So.

[Mal]

America.

[Damaris]

Yeah, like, you know, you were being a little judgy fudgy, but it's okay.

[Rory]

And this is why people shouldn't have microphones. And podcasting is ruining the world. That's not the American breakfast.

[Damaris]

Oh, they. Exactly.

[Rory]

The American breakfast has pancakes in it.

[Mal]

That's a fact. That is a fact.

[Rory]

Take all the microphones away. This is why I can't stand this podcast. They like pancakes.

[Damaris]

Yes, bro. Somebody. This girl commented and said that. It's not even the man. And the dumb. He said it's the girl sitting up there agreeing with everything he is. She'd agree with anything for a check just to secure her spot. I'm up here yelling at this eight days out the week. The one time I agree I'mma pick me. I don't do but yell at them and tell them they wrong. Now I'mma pick me.

[Mal]

Y.

[Rory]

Why don't you give Maul more push back on the Drake thing? I lost. I can't even talk to my daughter. I've lost my voice screaming at him.

[Damaris]

Like, yep, people just be. People just be talking. People don't be watching this pod. They just see clips and just talk, which is fine.

[Rory]

Like, I mean, we all do it talk. I don't know.

[Mal]

Everybody talks. It is what it is.

[Rory]

Sometimes it's not that serious.

[Mal]

It's. No. Most times, it's not that serious. Not sometimes. Most times it's not that serious.

[Damaris]

So speaking of exes, allegedly angry exes, DDG is claiming that a collab with bia, who I think he has a previous relationship with with, was stopped because H didn't want the song released. How do y'all feel?

[Mal]

H is his. His baby moms, right?

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Mal]

Yeah. Okay.

[Rory]

How do y'all most recent ex as well?

[Damaris]

Yeah. How do. How do y'all feel about. About that? About not being able to do a song with some old. Rory, you can speak to this. You do music. Not being able to do a song with some old. Because current is like, nah.

[Rory]

I could see that being an issue for sure. And we don't know what the contents of the song was, but I did see the clip and the little bit of information that BIA gave. Even admitting that DDG wrote her verse sound like they was talking some nasty. I can see that being a thing. I definitely can see that being. I just didn't know if they. Because I don't know about this type of. And sorry for not being well informed on DDG's dating life. I'll be a better podcaster for you guys, I promise. Did they actually date? That would have had to be the issue. Right? Right. Or maybe Haley just didn't like the song and thought it was bad for they.

[Damaris]

I thought they dated. Okay, if they dated, get more.

[Rory]

I can see that. That being a thing for sure.

[Mal]

What?

[Rory]

Like, man, if you dating a chick now and then she go in the studio where her ex and start doing Magic Stick remix verses. Yeah, you gonna feel away.

[Mal]

All right, but who's her ex? Like, if her ex is an accomplished, like, Artist. Like, if I'm. If I'm. If my baby mom's is, you know, she's an artist as well. She does well. And I dated, let's say, I don't know, Maya at one point, and then Maya. Now Maya has a record and she wants me to.

[Rory]

I love what you're doing with this hypothetical for yourself.

[Mal]

I'm just saying, like, if she wants me to do, like, she wants me to put, like 20 bars on it. You think? I'm not gonna give Maya 20 bars because we dated at one point and me and my baby moms are not together anymore.

[Damaris]

Well, let's. I just looked this up. Let's clear this up. So it is saying that DDG and BIA did not. Not date.

[Mal]

Yeah. My baby mom's got to watch out. She gotta get out the way.

[Damaris]

Watch out is so funny.

[Mal]

She gotta get out the way.

[Rory]

Okay. This, I think, happens with a lot of relationships where both people are talented artists. Haley, we. We would definitely say is a very talented artist. Right?

[Mal]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

Knows. Knows music theory. She's that type of chick.

[Mal]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

She was probably looking out for her, man.

[Mal]

No, she's not.

[Rory]

That ain't it.

[Mal]

No, she.

[Rory]

Bro, that record ain't it.

[Damaris]

That ain't it. You actually.

[Rory]

Because if it's not some history or even if, like, I think most artists that date other artists have at least some comfortability that you may be saying some nasty on record, but that's. That's for record entertainment. I don't think she's that insecure that would tell DDG and be. You can't do that record because y'all talking nasty. I think she probably was like, that is not going to be good for your career. That's not a good record.

[Mal]

Oh, then. I mean, if that. If that's what it is. Oh, then dope. That's a beautiful baby mother to have. That's even. We're not together, but I still care about you. I want you to have the best. Look, I want you to have the best, you know, thing going for your career. Totally respect her, if that's what the case is. Now let's speak to. If that's not what the case is.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mal]

He just. She just doesn't want him doing music with B.

[Rory]

Not. I don't think it was that. Cuz if you watch the clip, you don't know that.

[Mal]

You know Halle. You know Halle well also.

[Rory]

I mean, I've seen them.

[Mal]

You see A Little Mermaid? Yeah.

[Damaris]

Let's not put.

[Rory]

I know the story.

[Damaris]

Let's not Put this on Hallelujah Jackie. Because he said his ex. But Halle is not his only ex. He's also been romantically linked to Ruby Rose. So it was.

[Mal]

Now that makes more sense.

[Damaris]

It was unclear.

[Mal]

Maybe Ruby and Beer got a little. Ruby and Beer might have a little.

[Rory]

You know, Ruby Rose is not telling me anything music related, but no, that's.

[Mal]

I'm just saying that would make telling.

[Rory]

Me some music related. I'm gonna be like, yo, I'm gonna listen.

[Mal]

Of course. But I could see Ruby Rose and Beer maybe having a little history with each other where it's kind of just.

[Rory]

Cause you was in the bad and bougie video underage does not mean you could tell me about my music. Music.

[Mal]

That's true.

[Damaris]

Relax. Because Big Mouth is a classic.

[Rory]

No, Ruby has a few records that are cool, but I don't think it was her music talent that brought them to that place.

[Mal]

Ruby Rose doesn't have a cla. You heard what the marriage just said.

[Damaris]

Big Mouth is a classic.

[Mal]

Ruby Rose does not have a classic song.

[Damaris]

Cut this cool with all the thugs cuz my taught me gang signs.

[Mal]

Every rapper says that I've heard.

[Damaris]

Could have your friend, but I heard he got a big mouth.

[Mal]

Yeah, I've heard that from all of them. They've all had some iteration of that.

[Rory]

That was the way Jay used to pay homage to Big man.

[Mal]

All of that.

[Rory]

Homage to lot.

[Mal]

Yeah. Might want to hear that.

[Rory]

If you watch the clip, though, now that we know that they didn't date or whatever, we could take that scenario out, rewatch that clip. You can see in DDG's face. He doesn't want to tell Bea the real reason. And I think that real reason was she thought it was trash. Trash. He's avoiding the whole time, like just quiet. When B is trying to bait him too, which I respect. B makes some content, a good clip out of this and maybe be a rollout for the song to actually come out. Now you can see ddg. He would have said what the real reason was if the reason wasn't, hey, it was trash. Because even B, she said, I mean, you wrote the verse.

[Mal]

We don't know which one of his exes. Oh, he said. Said DDG has revealed that Halle Bailey.

[Rory]

No, that's. That's clickbait. Because he even retweeted and said, yo, I never said this.

[Mal]

Okay, cool.

[Rory]

That's clickbait. Clickbait.

[Mal]

All right, so just an X. Just an X. Okay, well, we don't know which.

[Rory]

And we know. We know dg He's a child of God. But he does have a past. Yeah, he's one of those that. He may have his jersey up in the rafters pretty soon. Could be a couple X's there, who knows?

[Mal]

Yeah, my ex still ain't telling me what to do with my music though. Unless she's like. She's doing music as well and she's like accomplished.

[Rory]

Ruby's not accomplished.

[Mal]

It depends on who you're asking.

[Rory]

What's. What's the hood record when she's by the car and then when everyone's like, yo, your dad's a dentist. That song's pretty good.

[Damaris]

Yo, they did her so dirty with that, like. Because what my dad being a dentist got to do with me being in the hood though, like, maybe I still like hood. They was calling her Nunu.

[Rory]

Yeah, I was in there, you know, know, offering feelings.

[Damaris]

Aesthetic, right?

[Rory]

It's an aesthetic. Not really a. It's an aesthetic. It's a filter.

[Mal]

No, this is really the hood though.

[Damaris]

Yeah, we really.

[Mal]

Yeah, like we really are here struggling.

[Rory]

When is it dude from the hood cared if the girl was from the suburbs? Outside of the movie, ATL never met. Come on, come hang with us.

[Damaris]

I do. I do hate, like, because this hood hood aesthetic has kind of become like a thing with the upcoming female rappers and all of this. Like, it's like cool to be the hood. A lot of these like suburban born girls be talking like they hood and you can't. People don't know that. Like, it's just. As a real hood, I be sitting up there like, y'all gotta stop this shit. Cuz this. You talking like you grew up doing what it had to do to be a. In the hood. Fighting and witnessing a whole bunch of traumatic. That makes you cold inside. You ain't really like that. You just got long nails and you talking crazy. Yeah, you ain't really. You ain't. It's real out here. That will really crash out, cuz they don't have nothing to lose. But I mean, you know, long nails, short, short cheetah print, do whatever you want to do.

[Rory]

And they run into the real hood and it's like, no, you're hating. Why are you doing that? Why do you want to fight?

[Damaris]

Why do you want to fight? I'm a pretty. I don't fight. Yeah, okay.

[Rory]

I know baddies. I know mad pretty chicks that fight get.

[Damaris]

Go crazy on it too.

[Rory]

I don't know. I mean, I've. I've had exes tell me songs they didn't like. Like, sometimes I listen, sometimes I didn't. But that's with everybody. Like, I'll always go to people. I respect musical opinions. Doesn't mean I'm always going to listen to them, but I always want their opinion. Okay, I'll take it into consideration. Sometimes they're right. Sometimes I'll follow my gut. Yeah, this sounded like she was just like, bro, that song's trash. Don't put that out.

[Damaris]

Are there any songs on your last album that people told you to take off or that a girl told you to take off or that it was trash but you took a risk on it?

[Rory]

It's funny. All the men told me not to put Other side on the album, and all the women told me to put Other side on the album. I wanted other side. I love that song.

[Damaris]

It's one of my favorite songs on the album.

[Rory]

And I'm so happy that I listen to women before I listen to men. When it comes to music, everyone's like, oh, it don't even fit. Like, say, I thought it was a Lucy. I was like, nah, this is the one on here.

[Mal]

I think in general, I listen to women more than I listen to man. Just about everything in life.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Thinking about it, I'm like, yo, what men do? I be like, nah, you right. I don't think nobody. I've ever listened to a man like, you know what, son? You right.

[Rory]

By the time I've watched you say no to Bigs, I'm like, I don't. I don't.

[Mal]

Never been. But I'm like, you know what? You right, yo. And it wasn't a woman. Like, not saying men aren't right in my life. Like, I got. You know, I'm grateful to have a lot of positive, smart men in my life, but. But I do listen to women more, only because, again, I'm. I'm always on the side of. Women just see it differently. They're going to always see it differently from us. Like, we're not going to be able to ever see it the way a woman is going to see it depending.

[Rory]

On what type of music you're making. And I'll stereotype here, like, if you're going full boom bap, yeah, maybe listen to the fellas. But typically, if you're making a different job, if it's R and B, if the women like it, the men are eventually going to like, like it. Like, you should be going after the actual target audience. That would make this record move.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Because if a girl is an R B song, I'm gonna Check it out. And almost force myself to like it if that's what she's into. Like, yeah, women are the first demographic with R B.

[Mal]

So I definitely almost bought tickets to go see Cleo at Radio City.

[Damaris]

Oh, the hoes.

[Rory]

First of all, I saw it on my ig. I was tight. I was like, what time is it? Let me see if I can run over.

[Mal]

I didn't even know she was performing at Radio City until I started seeing a bunch of women posting. I was like, I didn't even know.

[Rory]

She was her last project.

[Damaris]

You got to go see Neo with me and Rory. I feel like.

[Mal]

When is she performing?

[Rory]

I think my birthday. Right?

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

May 4th, May 3rd, something like that.

[Mal]

Okay. Here, New York.

[Rory]

But you never know. I could be in Turks. I could be. You never know where I'm going to be.

[Mal]

You're definitely not going to be where the sun is at. I can tell you that. You will not be.

[Damaris]

Yo.

[Mal]

You will not.

[Rory]

Palm tree to palm tree.

[Mal]

I know how to do Palm tree to palm tree.

[Rory]

I know how to do it cabana to cabana.

[Damaris]

You don't hate being white? That's crazy.

[Rory]

No, is great.

[Mal]

And you.

[Rory]

It is amazing.

[Mal]

Can't stay out in the sun.

[Rory]

Sunburn.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah. Can't stay out in the sun too long. But everything else checks out for white people. Yeah. Allergic to the sun, but winning at life. Yeah, I get it.

[Rory]

And sometimes I want the freckles to pop out a little bit more. Yeah. Get sunburned on purpose, you know?

[Mal]

You know how you got to stay in the sun? You got to like turn every three.

[Damaris]

Minutes like a rotisserie chicken.

[Rory]

Turn inside.

[Mal]

Okay. You know you got to go back inside every three minutes. You got a time on your phone like how you do for your meeting?

[Rory]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Mal]

Like I've been outside too long. Got to go back inside. That sucks.

[Rory]

SPF 50.

[Damaris]

And then you always date black girls so they just be out there, just laying there for hours.

[Rory]

But I mean, when we were in Vegas, you saw how I did it. Yeah, you fell asleep in that. Like falling asleep in 110 degree desert heat. The marriage is a different animal.

[Mal]

Yes.

[Damaris]

Snoring, drooling at the pool party.

[Rory]

Like that was single. That was some pitbull cane Corso. It was 110 degree heat.

[Mal]

Were you.

[Damaris]

It wasn't drunk. No, it was just exhaustion.

[Mal]

Oh, okay.

[Damaris]

I was really tired.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

But you saw. I had the towel.

[Damaris]

Rory had a whole towel over himself. A T shirt on towel. I'm like, damn, he was still red. I'M like, oh, baby patchy.

[Mal]

Yeah, Paty. That's powder right there. Powder.

[Rory]

And it. It's not even like my black friends that make fun of me in the sun. I was with my Italian godbrother and he was the one clowning me the entire time. Damaris Raven. Everyone was very understanding of my situation. And my Italian godbrother was just laughing at me the entire time while his Sicilian skin just turned olive.

[Mal]

Olive. Yeah, yeah. He. He looks like garlic.

[Rory]

Look gorgeous.

[Mal]

That garlic bread. Fresh out the broiler. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

I get it shimmering in that sun. I'm like, oh, my God. Sunny peninsula you're from.

[Mal]

[Mal]

Sometimes we'll even have a lively debate.

[Rory]

And we'll have plenty of other fun surprises and trivia too. Oh, and me, well, I'm the lucky ghost crew Stowaway who gets to help moderate and guide the discussion each week. Kind of like how Kanan guided Ezra in the ways of the Force. You see what I did there? Nicely done, John. Thanks, Tia. So hang on, cuz. It's going to be a fun ride.

[Mal]

Cue the music.

[Rory]

Listen to Potter Rebellion on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's Julie Stewart Banks.

[Mal]

I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League.

[Damaris]

And I'M paired up with one of.

[Rory]

My favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson. I wore nine NHL sweaters and I.

[Mal]

Have story after story to share.

[Rory]

And believe it or not, I have plenty to say, and not just about hockey. Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSB is the name of the podcast and it's.

[Mal]

Gonna be, well, it's gonna be quite the ride.

[Rory]

We're officially linemates, Nate. We're the energy Line. We'll have plenty of folks join us. Current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers. And wait till you see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex.

[Mal]

Okay. We'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey.

[Damaris]

And try to do what energy lines.

[Mal]

Are supposed to do.

[Damaris]

Provide an emotional boost.

[Mal]

How do you feel about all that, Nate?

[Rory]

I'm vibing Julie. I'm ready to roll.

[Mal]

Listen to EnergyLine with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Rory]

Hi, I'm Bob Pippman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. I'm excited to introduce a brand new.

[Mal]

Season of my podcast, Math and stories.

[Rory]

From the frontiers of Marketing.

[Mal]

I'm having conversations with some interesting folks.

[Rory]

Across a wide range of industries.

[Mal]

Industries to hear how they reach the top of their fields and the lessons.

[Rory]

They learned along the way that everyone can use. I'll be joined by innovative leaders like chairman and CEO of Health Beauty, Tarang Amin. The way I approach risk is constantly try things and actually make it okay to fail. I'm sitting down with legendary singer, songwriter and philanthropist Jewel.

[Mal]

I wanted a way to do something that I loved for the rest of my life.

[Rory]

We're also hearing how leaders brought their businesses out of unprecedented times, like Stephane Bonsell, CEO of Moderna.

[Mal]

It becomes a human decision to decide to throw by the window your business strategy and to do what you think is the right thing for the world.

[Rory]

Join me as we uncover innovations in data and analytics, the math, and the ever important creative spark, the magic.

[Mal]

Listen to math and magic stories from.

[Rory]

The frontiers of Marketing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Damaris]

Well, over this weekend, one of the major beefs that we talked about, it was a major beef that was that we talked about in regards to the Breakfast Club and their two beautiful female hosts, Jess Hilarious and Lauren LaRosa. They came out with a little, you know, a little teaser.

[Mal]

Was not beef, man. That was all part of the roll out, man. It's part of the roll out.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Cuz Lauren LaRosa now has her own show called the Latest with Lauren that's going to be kind of like a radio show podcast on iHeart. So congratulations to her. Which that should be launching soon. But yeah, they did this little the boy is mine, the job is mine thing with the Breakfast Club. It's cute.

[Rory]

Yeah. No, I, I get it. Women empowerment, everything. What you, what you feel about Veronica? Come on. I'm sorry, that's their name of the group.

[Damaris]

Oh, Bronica.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

How'd you feel about their cover?

[Damaris]

I think they, it was very creative for them to do this. I like the aesthetics. They did a good job. They're both very beautiful women.

[Rory]

You was feeling the COVID Me, Yeah.

[Mal]

I think they sounded like.

[Damaris]

That was.

[Rory]

The point though, personally.

[Mal]

Me personally, I think they said that.

[Rory]

Wasn'T even good drunk karaoke. That was.

[Mal]

I think they sound. I think Lawrence sounded like, like. No, I think. Listen, man, it was brave. Very brave. But I mean, I get it and it's beautiful to see, you know, black women, you know, come together, work together, be able to exist together in the same space and support each other. You know, I'm all for that, but it's just hard because I feel like, like why y'all playing with, you know, playing with our, with our emotions. Not emotions. Cause it wasn't.

[Rory]

He was emotional.

[Mal]

No, it wasn't emotions involved, but it's like we really felt like that was a real issue at one point. Point.

[Damaris]

Well, maybe it was and maybe they got over it quicker than. You don't think it was an issue at all?

[Mal]

No, I don't think so. I think this is all part of it.

[Rory]

I think that it's also radio supposed to do this.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, I get it.

[Rory]

Supposed to lie and around.

[Mal]

Listen, I'm all for it. I just, I love the fact that this is the end result. Lauren has her own podcast coming out. Jess obviously is still a staple on the Breakfast Club. And you know, the, the image and the message is black women support each other. We can exist together, we can do things together. So I'm all for that. I salute that. Shout out to Jess and Lauren on that.

[Rory]

I'm not sure if this will be recorded live. It'll probably be pre recorded every morning at 6, 6am with Lauren's show. We'll probably do it the night before, I assume. But let's say it's live.

[Mal]

No, but she got. Because they got to be at the Breakfast Club kind of early like every day. So she might.

[Rory]

But if it's a podcast, it'd have to be uploaded. Maybe there's a technology.

[Mal]

I don't.

[Rory]

I don't even want to speak because maybe they have something that could be live streaming into. In the Pods, released at 7. Whatever. Whatever. Okay, because you support this so much and want to see these women come together, will you be on her show next week, 6am sharp? You got to support, like, listening. You can't just be talking. You got to, like, put action into it.

[Mal]

Like, listening to it.

[Rory]

No, you got to be on it as a guest. As a guest for Lauren Mall with the Mess.

[Mal]

Wait, for Lauren's or Jess's show?

[Rory]

You can do both. You can knock out 6am and then go right to Breakfast Club.

[Damaris]

Or we could split you guys up, and you could do Lauren and you could do Jess. Wait, which one of y'all is not allowed at the Breakfast Club?

[Rory]

Both of us.

[Damaris]

Oh.

[Mal]

I would do Lauren show if she. If she asked me to. Yeah, I would sit down and kick with us.

[Rory]

Does Jess go on Lauren show first episode?

[Mal]

Probably.

[Damaris]

I think that'll be cool.

[Mal]

I can see that happening. Yeah, I can see that happening. Either way, shout out to. To. To both of these black women doing their thing, though. I support that.

[Rory]

Not same.

[Mal]

We know you support black women, Rory. We know.

[Damaris]

We know you don't recommend.

[Rory]

Yeah, yeah, we know you know I don't support. Lauren's probably gonna get handed an iHeartMedia award tomorrow.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

Office Christmas party award show.

[Damaris]

Oh, here we go. Nah, I still want him. I still put a camera on him.

[Rory]

I'm chilling. Is that the worst award show of all time, though?

[Damaris]

Oh, my.

[Rory]

Can we finally have this conversation? We've turned out every iheart deal. We're not. Not ruining our business here for sure. The I Heart Media Awards, it's an internal Christmas office party. They just give awards to their staff.

[Mal]

Oh, like employee of the month type.

[Rory]

Of like podcast of the year is. Is whatever podcast is on iHeart.

[Mal]

Yeah. Listen, man, I get it.

[Damaris]

If we had our own company, we would do the same thing.

[Mal]

We do have a home company.

[Damaris]

I mean.

[Rory]

Well, you want to do Media Works?

[Damaris]

Yeah, let's do that.

[Rory]

We're the same as I.

[Damaris]

Art, Can I get most improved Podcaster?

[Rory]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to do that to you because they usually gave the kid that was really shitty at camp and then just was kind of shitty or like he. He hustled. They give that.

[Mal]

I used to hate that.

[Rory]

Like, that was. Oh, you never wanted to get the Most improved player. You're actually really good at your job.

[Mal]

I would double play all season. He got most improved player. Like he dropped every pop fly all season.

[Rory]

Day one.

[Mal]

One double play. He's most improved camper. Get the out of here.

[Rory]

Day one, he was holding the bat at the top and then he figured out how to hold it.

[Mal]

Like, get out of here. That's most improved man. Good.

[Damaris]

I mean, but was he most improved?

[Mal]

No, no, not at the camp I was at. Definitely not.

[Rory]

It was that and it was like not the hustle. What was it? Sportsmanship?

[Mal]

Yeah, cuz he helped to play up off the ground when he knocked.

[Rory]

No, he didn't. It was just always the kid that was the shittiest to give him an award.

[Mal]

Yeah, like get out of there.

[Rory]

Nfs.

[Damaris]

What's sportsmanship?

[Rory]

Peach, you got the sportsmanship award at NFL. Why? Because you pounded Bud Lights with me?

[Mal]

No, cuz he bought the Bud Lights to the game like he bought the cooler. That's sportsmanship. That is sportsmanship. I like that.

[Damaris]

Y'all ever met the person that come to the function with one beer?

[Mal]

Yep.

[Damaris]

I had an uncle like that. We used to call him One Beer Charlie. Like, cuz, why you coming to the function?

[Mal]

Name? To give somebody one beer. Imagine going to a party and you only drinking one beer the whole party.

[Rory]

It was a staple in there. Beef state trouble.

[Damaris]

You know when you go to like the gas stations, they had them tall, big ones.

[Mal]

Oh, he had the, the, the, the. Yeah, the 24 ounce.

[Damaris]

Yeah, he wouldn't. But he wouldn't bring like a six pack for nobody else to drink.

[Rory]

I feel that person's fine with me. It's the person that brings the bottle and it's not done and then they take it with them on the way home. Now if you bring a bottle to my. That's here now this stays. Just because no one finished, it doesn't mean you now put it back in your bag and leave.

[Mal]

That's not.

[Rory]

That's insane.

[Mal]

Yeah, but that's not worse than a person that don't bring nothing and drinks everything though.

[Rory]

Oh, that. You just have to prepare that person.

[Mal]

You got to wait for them outside before they get in the Uber and just have a talk with them. Come holy.

[Rory]

Real quick.

[Mal]

Don't do that again. Don't come over here.

[Rory]

Or the person that leaves with four plates. They don't have kids, friends, nothing. Yeah, what you doing place they leave.

[Mal]

With the whole aluminum pan. Who?

[Damaris]

I've definitely seen that before.

[Mal]

They make sections in the pan. I'm like, yo, six hot dogs. Like, that's what you mean. No buns.

[Rory]

You could heat that hot dog up.

[Mal]

Got six Mac and cheese when you take it.

[Rory]

Hot dogs.

[Mal]

Six hot dogs, no buns. I'm like, yo, that's. What type of plate is that for your dog? Like, who are you giving that to?

[Rory]

You taking dry salad if you don't eat that tonight? What you doing with that, man? It's 3am you're not eating that salad.

[Mal]

Yeah, that lettuce is gonna be brown in another hour. Like, what are you doing with that?

[Damaris]

People be like, poor and hungry, y'all.

[Mal]

Yeah, but don't come over here being poor and hungry, though. Yeah. Like, get your life.

[Rory]

That was the point of being.

[Mal]

Get your life together before you come to the function, man. Get your life together, man.

[Damaris]

Yo, I cannot. Are we gonna have another cookout this year? Year, Rory. We haven't had one at the house in a minute. Ma didn't come to it. We had, like, a company cookout, and you didn't come.

[Mal]

A company cookout? When?

[Damaris]

This was a while ago. We had still had.

[Mal]

At Rory's house.

[Damaris]

We still had other employees that are no longer with us. But yes, at Rory's house.

[Rory]

Was that the 4th of July 1 when we recorded? I left.

[Mal]

I was in Canada. I was in Canada that year.

[Damaris]

Fourth of July.

[Mal]

Yeah, I went to. That's when I went to the jazz festival, I think.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mal]

And I came back and I bought y'all, like, hats. And I bought Rory, like.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I still wear my hats, but yeah, we watched the fireworks from Rory's rooftop.

[Mal]

Yeah. I was in Montreal at the jazz festival that year. That was two years ago.

[Rory]

We could do a Fourth of July barbecue. I mean, you know, PJ And I love America.

[Mal]

Me, too. I don't. Come on, man.

[Damaris]

See?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Come on. Nobody bigger than me, who's more of a patriot than me.

[Damaris]

As New Yorkers, what would you guys have the official song from For New York change to? Because it's currently I Love New York by Steve Carmen. I don't even know who decided that. I don't. I don't even know what song that is.

[Mal]

New York song is.

[Rory]

Isn't it Frank Sinatra.

[Mal]

Sinatra, New York, New York. Right.

[Damaris]

No, our producer is saying it's I Love New York by Steve Carmen.

[Rory]

Who decided that? Rudy Giuliani.

[Mal]

I love New York. I love New York.

[Damaris]

I think you made that up.

[Mal]

No, that's I Love New York. Yeah, I know that song.

[Damaris]

Yeah, they definitely should be Empire.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, I know. I Know that one? I won't get us flagged, but. But, yeah, okay. I still feel like Frank Sinatra, New.

[Mal]

York, New York would start spreading the news.

[Rory]

His voice is going to get tired this year because the Yankees are going undefeated. But they're going to.

[Mal]

They're going to drug test the. They're going to drug test the niggas selling popcorn in Yankee Stadium. Y'all think I'm joking? They're going to drug test the entire building. I'm telling you what's going to happen at Yankee Stadium. Before they go in, everybody line up. They gonna think they're getting Covid shots. No, you're getting drug tested, sir. Everybody's getting drug tested.

[Rory]

Do you think it'll be the first undefeated season?

[Mal]

Season? The Yankees are not going 1620 or something. That's crazy. That is not happening. But stay healthy, you know, it could be a great. It could be a great, great year for the Yankees if they stay healthy, man. They just got to stay healthy. They look good, though. Season just started, but they look good.

[Rory]

We'll get back to the song thing in a second, but while we're here, I'm with the bats. Let the whole league do it. We've talked about this before. I said let everyone take steroids. Let's have fun in baseball again.

[Mal]

No, some people complain like it's going.

[Rory]

To be 50 to 45. Great.

[Mal]

No. Teams have used those bats. Teams have used those bats. Last season there was some teams that used bats. I mean, but, you know, just the Yankees have brought some light to it with as many home runs as they was hitting other night. But, you know, I think that baseball needs something. I don't. I thought I was a fan of the pitching thing where you could take a picture out and he can still play the next game. You know, I thought I was a fan of that. I don't think I am. I know they trying to find things to make the game more interesting and speed it up, but it's just certain things I think we should leave alone. Like, don't change baseball too much.

[Rory]

Nah, man, just leave it the way it is. Steroids, aluminum bats. Let's go.

[Mal]

Nah, nah, nah. Aluminum bats. Hell no. Hell no.

[Rory]

Let's do it.

[Mal]

They can't have professional base. Nah. Aluminum bat. Imagine Aaron Judge with aluminum bat. We will never see that ball again.

[Rory]

Like that. It was Landon new hero self.

[Mal]

We would never see that fucking ball. Ball. We would never see that ball again.

[Rory]

Yeah. It hit a plane leaving LaGuardia.

[Mal]

Yeah. Nah, man. You can't give. No. You can't give the Yankees. You can't give Major League Basel plays Aluminum Bats. No.

[Rory]

All right, but back to the official song. I believe this conversation came from Petey Pablo raised up being proposed as North Carolina's official song, which I'm not mad at that.

[Damaris]

Me too.

[Rory]

All right, then why can't we make Petey Pablo raise Up All Cities remix the New York one?

[Mal]

Nah, nah. Ah. The official New York song should either be welcome to New York City with Jay and Cam. I think we should hear that as soon as we land at JFK or LaGuardia Fair. That should be playing in the terminal.

[Rory]

I agree. Does it have to be, like. I would say Juicy could make it, but it's not a New York song, per se. Does it have to be a.

[Mal]

Specifically, it has to be New York. New York has to be in it.

[Rory]

All right. Yeah. Welcome to New York City. I'm with that.

[Mal]

It's the home of 911, but coming.

[Rory]

Off the plane into JFK, it's the home of 911. But then again, we never lost power.

[Mal]

We never lost.

[Rory]

Which, by the way, was a lot. So much power was lost out there.

[Mal]

Well, I'm just saying, you still banging? You know what I'm saying? I want to hear that as soon as I land at jfk.

[Rory]

You think Juels wrote that down? There's no way.

[Mal]

No, he just screamed in a booth. He went in the booth and just was like, I'm just. Let them. Let the moment take over me, man.

[Rory]

And was like, wait, y'all are keeping that?

[Mal]

Either that or Alicia Keys, Jay Z.

[Damaris]

Empire State, Lil Mama, Empire State of Mind.

[Mal]

Yeah, Little Mama. Well, I guess. Guess by.

[Rory]

She's a primary artist.

[Mal]

Yeah, but at this point, she's a primary. Primary artist. That could probably be the official New York song.

[Rory]

Yeah, I mean, that one's. That's a little cheesy Lord treat.

[Mal]

Peter Guns is really the Bronx specific.

[Rory]

Yeah, I don't think that would work at all. Welcome to Atlanta remix.

[Mal]

The song is called welcome to Atlanta.

[Rory]

Yeah, but Puff talking about New York. That's the last at the Garden.

[Mal]

That's the last person.

[Rory]

Now we won because JD Was on top of the Garden talking about Atlanta. Now we won. You had to film it here.

[Mal]

Well, it was the remix. That was a great song.

[Rory]

Really good song.

[Mal]

I love that song.

[Damaris]

I was thinking that. I was literally just thinking, well, can when we land, Touch it is the.

[Mal]

Official New York song.

[Rory]

If you think about it. Had every burrow in the palm of his Hand.

[Damaris]

You know the map that they have, where they're showing you where New York is. That map should have a speaker that just plays papoose singing. I got Staten island on my peak. Queens on my thumb. Dude, the Bronson, my middle finger screaming you.

[Rory]

It should be the map. But then Pap's hand is there and it just lights up. Yeah.

[Damaris]

With the. With the subway line as the official.

[Mal]

Song of the New York. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if we can do that.

[Rory]

Just the image of him getting a haircut with the Yankee fitted on.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah. I'mma vote for. Welcome to New York City, Jay Z. Cam.

[Damaris]

I'm g. Vote for Empire State of Mind.

[Mal]

Not mad at that.

[Rory]

I mean, that would be the obvious one. Welcome to New York City. With Cam talking. What he was talking about would be the funniest thing for New York City to have to play.

[Mal]

That's what I'm saying.

[Rory]

Let's say that Mayor Adams will get a done.

[Mal]

Oh, my God.

[Rory]

That'd be the one thing that he'd say. I'd be like, yeah, you know, May.

[Mal]

Adams thinks he's gonna win. Like, he believes that. He said, they want somebody that wants to do what Eric Adams does. Well, why vote for somebody that you want to do what Eric Adams does when you can just vote for Eric Adams? I heard that on the radio. I said, man, turn this off, man. Turn this off.

[Rory]

He was campaigning in Far Rockaway and said, I used to have a shorty out here. Yo.

[Damaris]

Are you serious?

[Rory]

Swear to God. He's like, yo, I used to sit on the A train. Come all the way here. Here. I. I know this place. Last stop to see. See them cheeks.

[Mal]

That's his thing. He tried to make it seem like he's so relatable, like he. You know what I mean? But it's like, bro, we don't want to hear that, man. You did. The city is a mess. New York City is a mess right now. It stinks, it's dirty.

[Damaris]

But that's not related with rappers at Starlets.

[Rory]

The amount of shit that Far Rockaway needs, in no way would I feel relatable, like, all right, you fucked a girl out here.

[Mal]

Damn.

[Damaris]

I should vote for you there.

[Rory]

You know this neighborhood.

[Mal]

You know this neighborhood. You know the people out here. Nah, fam, we ain't jacking that. It's over. Ferric Adams, get him out of here.

[Rory]

Did she talk to you about the bums on the beach while y'all was.

[Mal]

New Jersey doesn't have an Official song.

[Damaris]

I'm gonna go blow New Jersey up.

[Mal]

Well, no, Dimash, that's not the.

[Damaris]

No, I know. It shouldn't be. Sorry. It was.

[Rory]

That almost went really left.

[Mal]

What would be the New Jersey. It would have to be naughty by nature, right?

[Rory]

Yeah, that'd be a naughty. So, yeah. What's the Queen Latifah can't forget about.

[Mal]

New Jersey unit unity.

[Rory]

No, it's. It's New Jersey Drive by Queen Latifah. It's a good song. I don't know it be the anthem for New Jersey, but I love how.

[Mal]

The Equalizer, they're leaning into, like, the crazy that they got Queen Latifah doing.

[Damaris]

You really keep watching that show.

[Mal]

Do you see the that? It's unbelievable.

[Damaris]

I. I don't watch it.

[Mal]

Did you see the one where she was on the bike or they had made it seem like she was the one on the bicycle doing all this doing crazy around the whole city. Damaris, stop. Hit the brake. Turn. Helmet off. Who is it? Queen Latifah. I said Queen Latifa wasn't doing none of that.

[Rory]

And imagine being surprised. Like, that's not Queen Latifah on that bike. Damn. Didn't see that one.

[Mal]

Yo, they leaning into it.

[Rory]

You ever turn your TV on and you were on like one of the apps, but it opens to catch table. That was on as I turned my TV on over the weekend and I saw Queen Latifah unarm a man with one hand, and I was like, I'm not going to Hulu.

[Mal]

I'm.

[Rory]

I'm here now. This. This is what we're watching.

[Mal]

Yo, they leaning into it. They know the they on, man. They leaning into it.

[Rory]

I mean, Jersey, I don't know. If you go hip hop, you'd have to. It's Bruce, right?

[Mal]

Boss got to.

[Damaris]

It wouldn't be the Jersey, like the Jersey Shore. Like, like theme song.

[Rory]

What was the theme song?

[Damaris]

I don't know. What was it? Drunk? What was it? How did it go?

[Rory]

Did it have a theme song? Or was it just like showing Nissan Ultimas and.

[Mal]

Huh.

[Damaris]

How's it go there? Yeah, it was a Jersey Shore theme song. Josh. Look it up.

[Mal]

It was like, what Peach. You heard.

[Rory]

You heard me.

[Damaris]

Oh, that's Beyonce again.

[Mal]

Yeah. Josh.

[Rory]

New Jersey doesn't deserve. I hope we get flagged. Demonetize us.

[Mal]

Yeah, listen, YouTube, that can't represent Jersey. Nah.

[Rory]

But yeah, I mean, Jersey doesn't have, like, anthems about New Jersey. They just have amazing music from New Jersey.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

Feel Me flow Naughty by nature. I don't know.

[Mal]

I would say naughty by nature.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I feel like the Jerseyans are gonna kick our ass. They probably do have, like, a song.

[Rory]

I mean, the Queen Latifah from New Jersey Drive soundtrack. I love that song. That's about Jersey.

[Mal]

I've been looking for one of those scullies she got on in that picture for, like, the past three winters.

[Rory]

For Halloween.

[Mal]

No, I just want to wear those. I love those scullies right there. I forgot the name of them, though.

[Rory]

But, I mean, you gotta go to Jersey.

[Mal]

No, you don't. You too young.

[Damaris]

You too young. That's back in the day.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's the 90s.

[Damaris]

I had that on in some soul food.

[Rory]

It's not a hat, right?

[Mal]

No, it's. It's a hat. It's a Scully. But it was the way they used to. I don't know the name of it, but I had one of those.

[Rory]

I used to wear my era. We wore the Scully with the brim. I was that dirt bag.

[Mal]

No, that was the marble in my hat. All colors.

[Rory]

I used to wear the mats all the time.

[Mal]

Yeah, Black army fatigue green. Then.

[Rory]

Then the ones that went, like, over your ears and at the strings. That was a fun time, too.

[Mal]

Absolutely. Yeah.

[Rory]

I had all the nasty.

[Mal]

They need to bring that Scully, but I had.

[Rory]

I had to bring one in, like, every color. Color. That was my.

[Damaris]

No, when you were wearing leather fitted. Oh, my God. Not you, bro. I can't see wearing fitted.

[Rory]

Did you ever leather fitted? Nah, but I wore fitted in high school.

[Damaris]

The leather.

[Rory]

But I never crazy. Never got the leather one.

[Mal]

Yeah, I.

[Damaris]

With the dances. The Don C's is my. But other than that, them leather, them shits was terrible, bro.

[Rory]

But that. All right. Those were completely separate than the leather fitted that you're talking about.

[Mal]

Yeah, I know.

[Damaris]

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Don season is my. But that leather fitted was. That was a wild papoose.

[Rory]

Definitely had a leather fit on when he had New York City in the palm of his hand. I can't remember exactly what he was wearing in that video, but you can.

[Mal]

Guarantee it was a leather hat on for sure.

[Rory]

With a matching leather full suit.

[Mal]

YG put out a song since we were Gone, and he came out and, you know, spoke about him and his sexual abuse as a child in the song. And I thought about something when. When, you know, I heard the song, and it was a conversation that me and one of my cousins had a few years ago, and he was like, yo, you would be surprised at how many people we know that was sexually abused.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Growing up.

[Rory]

It's crazy, right, that you had that conversation with your cousin after the YG song?

[Mal]

No, not after. This was years ago that we had this conversation. Yeah.

[Rory]

But it'd be crazy if we had, like, a podcast where we talked about it and a co host that talked about it.

[Mal]

No, no, no, no. I mean.

[Rory]

And it was a running joke for the last.

[Mal]

I know. I know this speaks to your trauma as well. I'm not trying to see. I wasn't just.

[Rory]

Cause I didn't drop the beat like ygd.

[Mal]

No, no, no. I wasn't trying to do that. But. But it is a real thing that, you know, a lot of people that we probably. We know and don't. They never spoke about it. It's a real thing, man. That's a real thing. And I've seen a lot of people online talking about, like, oh, you know, is he just doing this for Cloud? I'm like, I don't.

[Rory]

It's a wild thing to do for Cloud.

[Mal]

I don't take. I don't think YG is doing this.

[Rory]

I can assure you, every time I've talked about it on the podcast, I didn't leave here thinking, gonna get those clicks.

[Mal]

See, see, this is. This is you.

[Rory]

They have no idea what's coming tomorrow.

[Mal]

All right, just for the record, this is you making Jo jokes about it. I'm not making jokes about it.

[Rory]

Yeah. Oh.

[Mal]

So, all right.

[Rory]

I like the YG song a lot. I think the beat is crazy.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I really like the song. And I like how it comes in of dropping the beat and getting straight to the point. It's not a complex rhyme scheme. Got the beat. I was raped.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I like it. What?

[Damaris]

Oh, I was talking peach. Producing. We were producing. Sorry, go ahead.

[Rory]

Making more jokes.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Sexual trauma. I know I told you to go to therapy for that.

[Rory]

I have. That's why I can joke about. About it.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Damaris]

Does your therapist know that you joke about it?

[Rory]

Yeah. Okay.

[Mal]

Did the psychic know you were touched?

[Rory]

We didn't get that far. I have to go to the next section.

[Mal]

Oh, that's the second session.

[Damaris]

Please, please.

[Rory]

That. That would be a wild thing. Like, damn. Do I. What do I. Is it all over me?

[Damaris]

Plea. Okay.

[Rory]

Am I. Am I wearing this? Sexual trauma. Jesus. How did you. What energy did you feel?

[Damaris]

Yo, feeling yo, man.

[Mal]

Ro.

[Rory]

To me, that's almost like victim play. Like, look what you're wearing. Of course I knew.

[Mal]

Look at the way you dressed the.

[Rory]

Way you touched that crystal, I just knew why that child.

[Mal]

Why'd you wear. Why'd you wear that shirt? You're asking for it.

[Rory]

Was it the Red Ranger shirt you had on?

[Mal]

All right, I'm. Stop. I'm sorry.

[Damaris]

Thank you.

[Rory]

I'm proud of yg, ma'am. That is.

[Mal]

I'm proud of yg.

[Rory]

I am.

[Damaris]

I am proud of him.

[Rory]

No, I am. Because even when I. I've talked about it on this podcast, there's plenty of family members I had not discussed that with, that heard it on the podcast for the first time. And it's a weird conversation to have to have with your family when you say something publicly that they were not aware of, especially something to that degree. So I'm sure when that came out, YG didn't speak to all of his family. Family.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So I know he's. Yes, that is a tough thing to put out to the world by itself. But then add in the thousands of conversations you're gonna have to have after this.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So. And then, you know people that never really cared about you, like, oh, my God, I had no idea. You should have told me. Why would I tell you? Yeah, you only text me when I say like this. It's crazy, but it's a good record. If this is like the direction he's going for this project, I mean, the sound is very much YG and West coast, but just content wise, if. If he's gonna get into more of this. This type of bag, I'd like that from ig.

[Mal]

Summer Jam lineup has been announced. Definitely won't be going once again, but the lineup was announced.

[Damaris]

So when it was announced, the first thing I thought was one thing about a concert in New York. They're gonna have a boogie on the bill and it works on me. I don't give a. A boogies on the bill. I am Rough Russian.

[Mal]

The Prudential center this year. Last year it wasn't at the Prudential. It was in.

[Rory]

Was in Long Island.

[Mal]

Is that the. What is it the.

[Rory]

Yeah. Usb. Usb.

[Mal]

USB Arena.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

This year is a Boogie the headliner.

[Rory]

It looks like there's not really a headliner per se, because to me, I guess Gunna would be that because he's in the center, but everyone's names are the same.

[Mal]

Well, hey, Boogie. Shout out to the Bronx. Ghana Glorilla. Money, money, money. A money Mooney. Money, money, money. Long Asaki Ira star. Ayra Star. I'm sorry. Ja Rule and friends. A tribute to Irv Gotti. Very important.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Cash Doll, Bobby Wonders and Jabba. Featuring Masika, Jim Jones and Friends. That just means Jewels, Cash Cobain.

[Rory]

I'll do that to Jimmy, man.

[Damaris]

He's just like, what Friends? Yo, they should be crying.

[Rory]

Nah, Jimmy's still cool with the young kids, man. Jimmy's gonna bring a good amount of people.

[Mal]

No, Jim, listen. Jim on a summer jam stage is.

[Rory]

I mean, he has a lot of connection still. Just because him and Cam ain't seeing eye to eye. I think that Jimmy said is actually be really good.

[Mal]

No.

[Rory]

And I think he's going to take it very serious.

[Mal]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Rory]

He's tapped into the younger, too. He's going to whoever has the hottest record at that time. Jimmy's going to bring up like, that's the type person he is. But I did laugh at all the comments that were like, so it's just Jim Jones.

[Mal]

Yeah. Cash Cobain, 41, Kyle Rich, Jen Carter and Tyler High. Yeah, I won't be there. But I said the lineup. I'm not mad at that.

[Rory]

I mean, I said this about Summer Jam last year when they had to, you know, downsize into the arena and downsize on the lineup. They still do a good job. Like, I know it's Trendy to on Hot 97, but last year's lineup was very New York. The way New Yorkers complain. Hot 97 didn't support new York. Last year's lineup was all New York.

[Mal]

Yeah. Well, this one is two. Cash Cobain, Jim.

[Rory]

Jim tribute.

[Mal]

That's.

[Rory]

That's gonna be great. I'm sure a lot of people are going to come out for that. And yeah, as Damaris was saying, a boogie to the kids that are now like 25, 26, like, they really grew up on a boogie that's really like, if. This is gonna sound insane. If Nas was on that and I was of that age, like, damn, I. I'm finally old enough to like, pay to go see the artist I grew up on.

[Mal]

No, that's a boogie.

[Rory]

To the young kids in New York.

[Mal]

A boogie. Sold out the Garden, Sydney.

[Rory]

Probably.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's. Listen, man, people gotta start. I always say that people gotta start putting more respect on a boogie's name when they start talking about a lot of these artists and fan bases and things like that. A boogie gave birth to a lot of these new cats. A lot of. They sound.

[Rory]

Hell yeah.

[Mal]

A boogie is definitely the one responsible for a lot of this new that we listen to. So good to see him on the summer jam stage.

[Rory]

So we're rolling with Cash Doll. How we getting In.

[Mal]

Yeah. Let me hit Cash up and see what's up, man. Get a plus one.

[Damaris]

Hit Cash up.

[Mal]

Let me hit Cash Up. Get a plus one or something. Something.

[Rory]

I mean, you're her hype man, so I assumed you'd have the artist pass.

[Mal]

I'm a cash dog.

[Rory]

I just. Just give me, like the artist village or, like, what. I don't need to be on stage with a mic, but I'll see.

[Mal]

I'll hit up and see.

[Rory]

You're her flavor of life.

[Mal]

Yeah, I'm her flavor.

[Rory]

You know how to finish every. Every live.

[Mal]

That's you. I'm Maldo. That's Maldo.

[Rory]

You're definitely Maldo.

[Damaris]

I'm about to save you on my phone as.

[Mal]

No, you're not. Please don't. Please don't do that.

[Damaris]

What you gonna do if I do.

[Mal]

Not call you so it don't pop up?

[Damaris]

You don't call me now.

[Mal]

Well, good. Let's keep it consistent then.

[Rory]

Baby D, what do we think the Irv Gotti tribute is gonna entail? Knowing the amount of artists that Irv Gotti was involved with outside of just Murder, Inc. This like, that could be an hour and a half set.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

If everyone is really showing up.

[Mal]

Yeah, easily. I think that'll be not even just, you know, Murder Inc. It'll be a lot of the artists that Irv worked with away from his Murder Inc. Artist, things like that. It'll be a very New York set, for sure.

[Rory]

Do we think Lloyd comes out?

[Mal]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

I think so, too.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Based off what Ashanti posted the day he passed, which I thought was super mature and amazing of her, I think Ashanti comes out too.

[Mal]

100%.

[Rory]

Yeah. That's going to be a really, really cool set. I hope that's later. I hope this isn't the, like, order.

[Damaris]

I doubt it.

[Rory]

They like. It can't be during the day. That's got.

[Mal]

No, no.

[Rory]

Even though it's in the Prudential center, it's indoors already. But that's got to be later. Yeah, that needs its proper time. Not everyone walking in or trying to use the bathroom and get a drink.

[Mal]

Absolutely. That's.

[Rory]

That's got to be one of those. I might go strictly off the Irv Gotti tribute just because I think that's gonna be great.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I mean, I may not make the Jim Jones and Friends, but hey, I'm a friend.

[Mal]

I want to see. I definitely would want to see the clips from Jim Jones set, though, because Jim Jones has enough records. He obviously has enough affiliations. And. And people that he can bring out to put on a dope ass set. So I definitely want to see the set that Jim does by itself.

[Rory]

I can't believe with Glorilla and Gunna on the set that Damaris hasn't already bought her tickets.

[Damaris]

No, you know, I hate buying tickets but I do want to go. So if you, if you know somebody.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Mal]

I hate buying tickets.

[Damaris]

I hate buying tickets.

[Mal]

But if I'm saying I hate paying rent, but I love where I live.

[Damaris]

Shit, if I can get, you know, know we have connections so I might be able to get in. If not, I will enjoy the clips. Paying for. There's very few people I will pay to go see live and I just. A festival is not really, you know.

[Mal]

Who would you pay to see live?

[Damaris]

Who I have paid. I paid to see Chloe Bailey live.

[Mal]

But if you play to see Chloe Bailey you could pay to go see a. We not doing that.

[Damaris]

And Chloe's. Chloe's tickets were like. They were very cheap and it was her my first.

[Mal]

Some of them tickets is gonna be.

[Damaris]

Cheap her first time like really seeing her. But I got a whole Chloe Bailey show show. You know what I'm saying? Like if I want to see glow, I want to see a whole glow show. I want to see a whole. I did see a whole gonna show. I would love to see a whole show.

[Rory]

Yeah, I don't know. I wouldn't. I'm not mad at a 45 minute gorilla set of just going through hits.

[Damaris]

They're gonna give her 45.

[Mal]

Don't have no 45 minutes set, does she?

[Rory]

She's at the top of the. The list is not somebody that gets 45 minutes. 30 minutes minimum, minimum.

[Mal]

Like okay, I can see 30 minimum. Yeah, I can see 30. 45 minutes is crazy.

[Rory]

But that's. What if someone's at the top of a festival list? Like yeah, you get.

[Damaris]

I think they just wrote names on there. I don't think that the top is the top people that are going to be performing.

[Rory]

I don't think Gun and who would be above them? Gun and Glover, Gunna, Glorilla and a book. He would be above them.

[Damaris]

Oh, I guess so. Yeah.

[Mal]

Ja.

[Rory]

Yeah. But even then they're catering to a younger audience. I guess. So those would be the three gonna gets 45 minutes, right?

[Damaris]

Gonna gets 45 minutes.

[Mal]

Yeah, for sure.

[Damaris]

Well, I don't actually. I don't think so. How long is this thing? Because the last time I Summer jam.

[Mal]

Is like five hours.

[Damaris]

No, it used to be but Like, I think they run it more like a concert now. I think it's like three hours.

[Mal]

Oh, so they all get like 15 minutes?

[Damaris]

Yeah, I think it's, we love you, New York.

[Rory]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Damaris]

More like 15, 20 minutes and then flex.

[Mal]

Come on. Start DJing. Okay.

[Rory]

Start dissing, people. Nobody care that you dissing.

[Mal]

Yeah, I get it.

[Rory]

Tell Tupac I said, what up. No, I'm cool. He's dead.

[Mal]

Before we get out of here, I want to send a rest in peace young Scooter Atlanta legend who passed away while we were away from. From the studio. Sad, sad news out of Atlanta. Passed away on his birthday.

[Rory]

Oh, I didn't even see that.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah. So that was. It's unfortunate, I believe they said, because the. The word was that the cops had killed him. And then the cops came out and made a statement saying, we did not shoot him. He actually died climbing a fence. And I think he wounded his leg. So people in the comments saying, yeah, right. People in the comments who are, you know, medical students, doctors saying if you break your femur bone or you hit an artery in your leg, you can definitely bleed out. It is possible. So whatever. However he passed, it's just a sad situation. Another young artists that we all have listened to and supported at one point or another, gone at a very young age. So rest in peace to young Scooter. And we forgot last week, apologies for this, but rest in peace to the legendary George Foreman. A lot of people didn't even know he was a boxer. They thought that he sold grills and cooking appliances. No. George Foreman was one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. Great person, great human being, great personality. Somebody that I grew up watching on TV and seen a lot. So this was definitely hit home with this one. So rest in peace to the great legendary Mr. George Foreman.

[Rory]

Absolutely. And while we're recording this, it is the six year anniversary. I hate even saying anniversary with stuff like this, but Nipsey Hussle passed away six years ago. Rest in peace to the legendary Nip Shout out to Black Sam. Still keeping the legacy going.

[Mal]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

Burger places still, still, still wrapped around the corner.

[Mal]

As it should be, as it should never change. Marathon burgers. That's all we eat in la.

[Rory]

We. We were together the day we were leaving la, the day it happened. Landed in San Francisco, I want to say.

[Mal]

Right, San Francisco. Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah, it was. That was definitely a very, very dark, dark day. But six years later, Nipsey's legacy is continuing to carry on. People still talk. Everything that he was Talking while he was alive and putting it into their careers. So, you know, his death was not in vain as far as what he. He did impact with our community.

[Mal]

So very tragic, very unfortunate still. But it seems that the family is doing everything that Nip probably spoke about or wanted to do and still pushing forward with the marathon. The marathon continues, obviously, so salute to the family, continued prayers to the family, and continued support to the family and anything that they're doing in the name of Nips, See and. Yeah, man. Yeah. All right. Well, it's been another. Another episode. Good seeing you guys back. Damaris, glad you made it back from Houston in one piece.

[Damaris]

Couple pieces.

[Mal]

Well, I don't know. I don't know.

[Rory]

A couple pieces.

[Mal]

Couple pieces. Still might be in Houston. Her soul is still got to talk to room service. It might be n somebody, you know.

[Damaris]

My heart. My heart. My heart is.

[Mal]

You know, your heart is in Houston.

[Damaris]

Nah, nah.

[Mal]

[Damaris]

Maybe it might be back in Brooklyn by now. Who knows?

[Rory]

That depends on when he flies back.

[Mal]

Yo, baby.

[Rory]

Yo, it might be. It might be in the air right now.

[Mal]

I'm gonna let her get that off, but just know. Just know. We gonna revisit this in about three weeks. I'm gonna let you get that off, baby. D. But in three weeks, I'm on your ass, man. Fuck that.

[Rory]

First of all, the Pop the Balloon series I saw on my Netflix cube, like, set up, ready to go. If you're not on at least season two for Netflix, Pop the balloon. I'd be very upset at you. Like, that needs to be on your vision board.

[Mal]

[Mal]

Why?

[Rory]

Would be great for that show.

[Mal]

No. Fuck no. Pop the balloon.

[Rory]

[Mal]

Fuck, no. I would never go on that show.

[Damaris]

[Mal]

Nah, see, no, don't do that. See, that's what you do. No, get your balloon pop just like you got your balloon popped in Houston.

[Damaris]

Yo. You are a wild nigga.

[Damaris]

I'll go on there.

[Mal]

But why you don't want to go in there and let them pop the balloon on you, though. Nah, see, nah. That's. Why don't do that.

[Damaris]

I'm not. I don't have. I don't have it. In me to let, like, talk. And I got.

[Mal]

That's the problem.

[Damaris]

But you want to talk.

[Mal]

Yeah, exactly.

[Damaris]

I'm cooking.

[Mal]

Okay. So they do that. They do that when they. When they asking them. They be like, yo, so why'd you pop the balloon? They be like, yo. Cause I don't. And the person like, well, I don't know what you talking about. Cause you got. Yeah. So get your off.

[Damaris]

All right.

[Mal]

Okay. Get your off. Don't, Don't. Don't do that.

[Damaris]

Well, either row. I'm. I'm actually the one looking for love, so, you know, you. Yeah, yeah.

[Mal]

So you gotta go and let them pop for now.

[Damaris]

I don't know. Hit me up.

[Rory]

My ego is not.

[Mal]

Hit me up in the morning.

[Rory]

I would have so much fun.

[Mal]

Yeah, like what?

[Rory]

Being the person that walks up. I don't think I get popped right away, but the moment they ask, what do you do for a living? And I say, podcast. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Right away.

[Mal]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

And it's not our fault. It's what y'all have done to this genre.

[Mal]

Yeah. People think that we're gonna just talk about our relationships on air every day, which we will.

[Rory]

But we're on Netflix.

[Mal]

We have to. Yeah, but shout out to. Shout out to that series for getting a Netflix deal. That's dope. I've seen a lot of people kind of like, oh, this is not the content we need to keep pushing. And I understand that, but, you know.

[Rory]

It'S not that bad.

[Mal]

I mean, it's entertainment, man. It's just entertainment.

[Rory]

Have you been on Zeus?

[Mal]

Yeah, it's just an. Hey, I watched the Baddies the season finale last night.

[Rory]

So did I. Yeah.

[Mal]

I'm on Baddies Africa auditions. They on there going crazy. I'm all the way into this baddies organization.

[Rory]

How did you feel about Blood In, Blood Out? How did you feel about. I thought it spoke great to Natalie's leadership at the end, where we felt like it was very rocky after that nature hike. That kind of put them. Put things in perspective.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I felt like she brought all the girls together.

[Mal]

Yeah. Everybody got their chain. Well, you know, some of them didn't get their chain, but they eventually got their chains. But it's just a little. It's just fun, man. It's just fun watching that and. But I do feel like they gotta find a way to kind of, like. Cause it's just. They should maybe go lean more towards, like, doing activities together, like courses and, you know, like. Because just fighting in Hawaii is just crazy. It's like, y'all just swinging on each other. Have them do some, you know, building the communication skills, events and stuff like that together where they can. We hate each other now, but we love each other because we got through this together. Like, something like that.

[Rory]

Natalie, what's. What's Brad Pitt's character in Fight Club?

[Mal]

What was his name? Something like that.

[Rory]

Yo, Natalie Nunn is. Is Tyler in real life, when she was talking to one of the chicks about not squaring up, she's like, I'm the leader, and even I square up, I get in the fight. Like, I'm never gonna put you something. I ain't go through Tyler Durden.

[Mal]

Natalie Durden.

[Rory]

It's like, I'm not just making y'all fight. I got in the ring, too.

[Mal]

That is definitely my guilty pleasure. Watching Baddies, man, It's. It's just. It's fun.

[Rory]

I haven't clicked the auditions yet.

[Mal]

Oh, you're gonna love it. Oh, you're gonna love it.

[Rory]

I think I'm gonna feel right.

[Mal]

Somebody's grandmother's on the auditioning, Somebody's aunties on the auditioning. It's crazy. They had a little person on the auditioning. It's crazy, man.

[Rory]

We. We gotta reach out to Zeus to see if we can get you on.

[Mal]

That show just as a host on Baddies. Yeah, I would definitely be a host on Baddies. One like the Joe Rogan, like, in Fear Fact. Yeah, yeah. When they got. I would definitely do that on Patties. Yo. Hey, Natalie, make it happen. I would definitely do that on Baddies.

[Rory]

You taking them to, like, the boxing.

[Mal]

Ring to train 100. I would do that. That what I love the Baddies, man. Shout out to the baddies. All right, y'all. Well, we'll talk to y'all soon. Talk to you on a couple days. Be safe, be blessed. I'm. That he's just ginger. Peace. Time is precious, and so are our pets. So time with our pets is extra precious. That's why we started Dutch.
