Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back. And Degree listened. That doesn't happen often. They admitted that they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one men's antiperspirant. And it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores for under dollar. So try it and see what the fuss is about.

[Mal]

Thank you for your service.

[Rory]

Everything.

[Mal]

Thank you for your sacrifices. Yes.

[Rory]

We are not here to get into any war crime stuff. We are generally saying happy Memorial Day to everyone.

[Mal]

Yes.

[Rory]

But we are here to work so all of that fighting doesn't go in vain. We are here, yes, because this is what they fought for.

[Mal]

They fought for us to have a podcast brought to you by Boost Mo Mobile. Thank you, Boost Mobile.

They fought for men to instead of build houses and defend freedom, act like women.

[Mal]

Yes.

[Rory]

And gossip and be feminine. This is what they fought for right here. Real men fought for. For bitches like us to get on.

[Mal]

The microphone line so that Rory and.

[Rory]

Ma could have a pot cushy ass life.

[Mal]

Yes. Great lighting. Such great lighting.

[Rory]

I watched. I watched the bin Laden thing. I was even watching some of it in the office today. Just, you know, it was similar to what we discussed. I appreciated all of the lies, but I. I'm fine with that. Yeah, like, I was entertained and like, really was like, America. Yeah.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Through the whole thing.

[Mal]

Isn't it interesting how they always put those docs out around Memorial Day? And of course, like, it's all like. It's crazy how that all comes together.

[Rory]

Yeah, man, we gotta. We gotta mourn.

[Mal]

We gotta remember. Never forgot to remember what they did.

[Rory]

Never. Well, forget a few things, but never forget.

[Mal]

Forget who was at the meeting before it all went down. But forget slavery.

[Rory]

Never forget that we went and got it.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

You know, but 9, 11 and Covid. Don't you ever fuck.

[Mal]

Don't you ever forget that. Who was it? Who was we talking to? They said they had Covid and I was like, that still exists.

[Rory]

Oh, Dane from volume.

[Mal]

Oh, Dane, Dane, Dane. Hopefully you're feeling better. Dane. Dane. We had a call with Dane the other day. He said, oh, man, you know, tested positive for Covid. I was like, that's still. Trump is president, man.

[Rory]

Dane was trying to extend his trip. He wanted to get back to his family.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah. Dane was standing in a tough flow.

[Rory]

Looking healthy as shit.

[Mal]

Yeah, I know that move. Dane, it's not Covid. He said he took a. What? He said he took a test at home. Test? Yeah. That's like hitting. That's a scratch off. He doesn't know that by now. No idea before you even open the box. What are you talking about?

[Rory]

I mean, admittedly, I like three Christmas Eves ago, I definitely, like, I had Covid, but, like, it had been enough time, but I was like, ma, listen, I. I don't want to get anyone in the family sick. This is a very serious time.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I got a Christmas off.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So now that I know people are getting Covid again, like, I might bring it back.

[Mal]

I can't wait for that documentary of the crazy things we did during COVID Like, the things we were doing. That documentary was gonna be like, there's.

[Rory]

No way we live, like, shut the world down.

[Mal]

Oh, my God. There's no way we lived through that. Crazy.

[Rory]

But I mean, listen, post Covid is a different time.

[Mal]

Post Covid, it's a different time. And we are back. Brought to you by Boost Mobile, of course. I'm so glad that Boost Mobile is back and Boost Mobile is, like, a part of, like, culture again, Man. We need Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile was a great time. He was a little young when Boost Mobile. Boost Mobile first hit to see, but it was a special time, Rory.

[Rory]

No, I mean, they raised me, if you think about it.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, I. I came into my own when Boost Mobile, probably.

[Mal]

Your first phone was probably Boost Mobile.

[Rory]

Of course it was.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

What other phone would it be?

[Mal]

There's no other phones.

[Rory]

I didn't even know there was other carriers. Keep it all. Oh, it's a fun ad.

[Mal]

Keep it. I didn't know. You didn't know there were any other carriers.

[Rory]

What's a carrier?

[Mal]

You.

[Baby D]

You.

[Mal]

Gotta love it.

[Rory]

That is a cul de sac of a monopoly. I didn't even know there was other shit.

[Mal]

Nobody else exists.

[Rory]

But with that said, happy two year anniversary to my first album. I thought it was different. Two years.

[Mal]

Congrats, Rory.

[Rory]

I think that's enough. I think it's enough time. Two years is usually the mark where you can determine. I think it's probably the greatest album of all time.

[Mal]

Thriller. Then I thought it'd be different. I just want to let you know.

[Rory]

That of course, I'm a little bit.

[Mal]

Do better than Michael and Quincy, but, you know, I mean, like, you were close.

[Rory]

Dare I it So I think it edges Thriller out just by a bit.

[Mal]

Edges.

[Rory]

Hey, Quincy said it. I ain't say it.

[Mal]

And then you said, dare I say. Dare I say it's edges. Thriller.

[Rory]

I know. Bias.

[Mal]

Exclusive margin.

[Rory]

Bold statement. I think if you go song for song, it's right there.

[Mal]

Listen, like they said, man, if you take Billie Jean off a Thriller, it's because Billie Jean is there that your album is. If Billy Jean wasn't on Thriller. It would be a better album than.

[Rory]

I do think Division Interlude really may compete with Philippine.

[Mal]

No, it's right up there. Yeah, it's right.

[Rory]

If you think about it. You have to think hard.

[Mal]

No, I've thought about it playing.

[Rory]

No one's thought that.

[Mal]

I didn't think that until I played your album. Then I played Thriller and I'm like, I don't know, man.

[Rory]

It's like sometimes you don't even know what album you're listening to in the algorithms. They just go. It's like a double disc.

[Mal]

It's a double D. It's Michael and it's.

[Rory]

And if you.

[Mal]

It's love Boxing is.

[Rory]

And if you're going off double disc, it might be better than Life After Death.

[Mal]

Nobody has ever said any of this like ever in life. Nobody in the world.

[Baby D]

Nobody in the world.

[Rory]

But to celebrate on your way to pick up the Thriller vinyl, I did a re up. I did. There's a bundle that, that me and Sony did. You can get the Thriller vinyl and I thought it'd be different vinyl together.

[Mal]

Yes, please.

[Rory]

Different merch shop. There's a link in the bio. But yeah, I know a lot of people missed out on the vinyls the first time. So I did a. I did a, you know, a little re up for the anniversary. They're moving like 30, 30 minutes in. There's boxes you can literally just walk on on your way to the elevator.

[Mal]

You gotta sign mine, man. You gotta sign mine. And I want. Is it the same colorful.

[Rory]

Yeah, same.

[Mal]

Oh yeah, I want one.

[Rory]

Yeah, there's a whole box.

[Mal]

Okay, cool.

[Rory]

But yeah, man, come on, 21 orders in like 30 minutes. Yeah, moving units.

[Mal]

I love it, man.

[Rory]

It's. It's M Pim Juice and us. That's the only ones. Moving units.

[Mal]

That is hilarious.

[Rory]

But with that said also I will announce that the. I don't like to say single, but the second record that's coming out on my second project, first one being Leon Thomas. Who are you anyways? Will be with Masego and Freddie Gibbs. It's called Off Road. I know you guys have heard it. Yes, I'm very excited. June 13th. Love it. Off Road. Masego, Freddie Gibbs. Feel good summer record. A little bit more palatable than the Leon one. Just because, you know all the non music snobs. I'm catering to you. Yeah, but I'm excited for this record.

[Mal]

Yeah, man, I'm happy. I'm happy for you, man. I know how hard you worked on this project and how hard it is to get things cleared and signed off. And I know it can be a nightmare, but this is what you do it for. These moments of announcing an official release date. So congrats.

[Rory]

You want to hear me complain about the music industry? The episode that came out on Patreon today just explains how hard it is for me to put music up.

[Mal]

It's a real thing, though, man. And I appreciate those rants from you because, you know, watching you go through it, I laugh because I'm, you know, you're my guy, but I know how much you put into it and how much it means to you. So congrats to you and the team for getting it done.

[Rory]

June 13th. Very, very excited. With that said, I mean, I. I think this second album could compare to Justin Bieber Journals if we're getting into, like, right? That's like, what a lot of people say in the studio when they hear it. They're like, yo, this reminds me maybe better than Journals.

[Mal]

It's like. So I was, I don't know, depending on the day.

[Rory]

I was a little offended. That says they didn't ask me to come out. But, you know, Justin seems to be going through some things at home. Hey, listen, I thought it'd be different. Is all about the things I was going on, going on at home.

[Baby D]

Me too.

[Rory]

So I relate to what Justin, his overall aura on that stage. And with all the rumors of him being broke, do you think he charged Scissor a fee?

[Mal]

That's crazy. No. First of all, I don't. I don't believe that Justin B is broke.

[Rory]

Imagine beef sentences like, yeah, no, I got you. Here's my rate. Yeah, I'll work with you on the whole day rate.

[Mal]

He got a day rate. Imagine Justin Bieber's day just having a.

[Rory]

Rate to pop out to a show.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But, yes, this was GNX tour in Los Angeles, I believe.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Is that where it was?

[Mal]

GNX tour in Los Angeles? SZA brought out Justin Bieber to do his rendition of Snooze along with her. And Justin had a moment that everybody's talking about. Eyes Closed wasn't singing into the mic, was just going to have a mic. He had a mic, but he didn't need it. In that moment, he was like, he went somewhere. I think that's what music is meant to do. So, you know, Justin had a moment and just was like, yo, Justin, they can't hear you. Like, SZA went as she is, you know, classy and graceful. Went and saw that he was having a moment. Like, let me get him out of this moment, because it looks like he's about to, like, go too far into the moment. So she came and helped him and, you know, woke him up out of that moment.

[Rory]

All right, where do we start? I have never seen a Palm kiss in my entire life.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I've never seen it.

[Rory]

You coming out the gate with the Palm is one of the sickest things I've ever seen. Just went over there to check her. This wasn't, like, part of the performance.

[Baby D]

Look at him. My baby.

[Rory]

She thought he was having a stroke and just lifted his head up like, yo, you right.

[Mal]

Yeah. No, kiss the Palm, you know, Then kiss. Kiss the ring.

[Baby D]

Y' all ain't never felt music like that before. I know how he feel.

[Rory]

Listen, I. Snooze is up there for me. And if Sza was right in front of me, I'm not saying I wouldn't do the exact same thing that. That Justin did in that moment.

[Mal]

Just lose it completely. Like, going to another space.

[Rory]

Not. Not only did he kiss the Palm, it didn't even look like he tried to kiss the top of the hand. I think that was a sniff.

[Baby D]

No, he. He kept going. She had to pull her hand away.

[Mal]

He kept going.

[Rory]

There's no way that happened in rehearsal.

[Mal]

And she was, like, trying to pull him to the front of the stage, like, grab his hand.

[Rory]

I was trying to pull him into reality.

[Baby D]

And then he kissed her hand.

[Mal]

Yeah. I mean, the scissor looks like her hand smelled great. So, I mean, I can understand Justin in that moment. He got caught up in the moment. He's smelling it. He's like, wow, this is. Is this lavender? What is that? She looks like her hand smell like lavender, for sure.

[Baby D]

Being in the moment. But, like, look, when she tried to look, look. Look at him. He's still kissing, but it's him being in the moment, in the mic, not being anywhere near him while he.

[Mal]

Fuck that mic. Cause sometimes you gotta say, fuck that mic. Y' all know what I'm going through. Y' all reading the headlines. I'm broke.

[Rory]

But after that, you know, she gave him a little, like, side hug. I'm a bit creeped out. That was the friend zone hug. After that was like, he better not grab my ass hug.

[Mal]

Nah, I don't just. I don't think that was ever on her mind. I think that she was, you know, trying to keep it, you know, as fun and as playful and as. And still have a little bit of, you know, that little flirtatious energy with it, but was definitely not going to be no ass grabbing or, you know.

[Rory]

Of course.

[Mal]

Yeah. No.

[Rory]

But with that said, you know, like, when they cut off the mic for the crowd to hear, production team can still hear what's going through the microphone and scissors in here. You know, once that the stage started to go down after that moment, she was sitting there like, punch, punch. Security, please, please, please.

[Mal]

No, she was definitely sitting there like, is he okay? Justin, are you okay?

[Baby D]

Somebody get Justin some water, please.

[Rory]

Medic. Medic, please.

[Mal]

Justin, are you okay? Just. He probably went down. I'm fine. I'm great. I just. Great song. I loved it. That stage. And then. I'm totally fine. Great song.

[Rory]

This looks like actual ecstasy, not mdma.

[Mal]

Yeah, this is. This is the stuff that you. This is.

[Baby D]

Don't do that. He was just. He was drunk. I'm drunk in the moment. Drunk on memories.

[Mal]

Like, drunk on reposado. It's okay.

[Baby D]

You be like that sometimes.

[Mal]

You be backstage and it's just like, you didn't know. Scissors Rider was so incredible. And it's like, this is like, I'm at the club. This is an open bar.

[Rory]

Or he's like, finally a woman. I like being around.

[Mal]

Yeah, that too. That too.

[Rory]

Yo, and I don't subscribe to all that. All the threads of him not liking his wife and all that, because we don't know these people. But it is funny seeing all the threads where she does want to hold hands and he doesn't. And then you see Justin basically licking scissors because I could see if it's, like, intimacy issues. And, you know, he doesn't like to hold hands. He. He went to third base with her hand.

[Mal]

I mean, he recognized the black queen in her glory. You know what I mean? All these people are here screaming for you.

[Rory]

So you're saying his wife is no glory?

[Mal]

Well, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying when you're on stage and just the whole stadium screaming for this black queen whose song you took and made your own.

[Rory]

One of the greatest songs of our generation.

[Mal]

I think sometimes. Yeah, you get lost in that moment and you're just like, wow. You know what I mean? This just feels great. The energy is amazing. And I forgot that I'm even on stage performing. I love this song so much, I feel like I'm at home in the kitchen.

[Rory]

I mean, if this is what gets.

[Mal]

Beefs back, baby, do you know how that is? You be home while you waiting for that crock pot and your song. Come on. All the memories start hitting you.

[Baby D]

Rory was just playing his album. And I was in there crying. Like, sometimes you just feel it. Are you okay? No.

[Mal]

What's wrong? Talk to us. We're here for you.

[Baby D]

No, you not.

[Mal]

I'm here for you.

[Baby D]

No, you're here to make fun of me.

[Mal]

Yes, but that's being here for you. You have to make fun. And the pain and the heartbreak. You have to find the fun, the silver lining.

[Baby D]

You ever read the lyrics to Rory's song? Not me.

[Mal]

Not Me. Which one is that?

[Rory]

Raheem and Chantel, man.

[Mal]

Yes. Great record. You can. Can you relate? Yeah, it hit home.

[Rory]

I don't have the auxiliary, but the moment this just even hit Peach can underlay it right here. She started pouring a glass of wine the moment just the chords came in.

[Mal]

Wine. It's one o' clock.

[Baby D]

It was 12 when I started pouring.

[Mal]

Oh, my God.

[Baby D]

Yeah, it's that type of episode.

[Mal]

He cooked your soul, huh? Sauteed little spinach on the side.

[Baby D]

Burnt it, too. The butter. You know, when the butter at the.

[Mal]

Bottom be brown, that garlic burned in that pan.

[Rory]

Still tastes good, though.

[Mal]

Yo, Baby B is a fool.

[Rory]

At first I thought she was just like, you know, put a little sauce on it. Then I, like, I could really see the misty eyes, and I was like, oh, this is like. This really hits home. Like.

[Mal]

Rory shot a commercial. Vinyl's available now.

[Rory]

See, I'm not as exploitive as people think I am. I should have done that. Yeah, why didn't I think you got.

[Mal]

Come on, man.

[Rory]

God damn it, Josh.

[Mal]

Commercial, man. That's a commercial.

[Baby D]

I'll never let you take me for granted. I'll never let you make me feel average. Pussy runs the world and you had attract me. Nope. I'll never give you the satisfaction.

[Mal]

Pussy run the world. But you gotta track me.

[Rory]

What's the man, D? One track runner.

[Mal]

Come on, man. You've been to Pin Relays multiple times.

[Rory]

High school and college.

[Mal]

Yeah. Gotta go down to the Pin relays, man, everywhere.

[Baby D]

What was we talking about? Yeah.

[Rory]

Oh, exploiting you for that. Yeah.

[Mal]

Cry again now. On cue, cry.

[Rory]

I mean, she did curse homie out at the release party.

[Baby D]

Yo, can we.

[Rory]

I exploited that.

[Baby D]

Thank you.

[Mal]

Oh, yeah, you did. That was fun. Yeah, I remember that.

[Rory]

She gave me the blessing, though.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah. That was cool.

[Baby D]

Baddies.

[Rory]

How should I explain.

[Baby D]

The good with Rory? Wow. Like.

[Rory]

Yo, now all of a sudden, she's never had an ex.

[Mal]

That.

[Rory]

That was news that I just brought up.

[Mal]

Right? You know, there's no such thing that.

[Rory]

She'S dated somebody before. I'm just Exposing everyone today.

[Mal]

Yeah, exactly.

[Rory]

Anyways, Baddies.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Is that what. I don't know if that's.

[Rory]

No, no, we do that, or we can find another way for me to exploit on the second album. I damaris my kid, like, the relationship my parents like. What else should I do for this one? Well, I'm already exploiting Amara throughout this entire. Now people really have a reason to be like, yo, you used your kid, like, as roll out. And yes, I think everyone in the family should work well.

[Mal]

Amara, she should have an interlude this album. Yeah, yeah. Get a little interlude of her.

[Rory]

She was. She getting kind of nice on her little DJ NPC that I have. Yeah, she knows. She even has her own little vinyl players.

[Mal]

And it's time. It's time for her to start working. She has to start, like, you know, pulling her weight.

[Baby D]

She had her little NPC yesterday. I went to Rory's house to watch the Knicks game.

[Rory]

Greatest game of all time.

[Baby D]

She. She, like, would be like, let's dance. And I'm like, okay. And she'll go over to the NPC and, like, press the little button for hip hop and just, like, dance. And I'm like, okay, we dancing. And she got, like, a little vinyl player. And it was cute. She was very, very cute. But, yeah, I think she. I think she's gonna be a dj.

[Rory]

Yo, Damaris caught me doing some wild man. This was. All right.

[Baby D]

We talk about this.

[Mal]

Yeah, sure. We're here now.

[Rory]

This was not yesterday. This is when Amara wasn't at the crib, but, you know, had some people over to watch one of the games. And, like, I may have been cooking up a little bit on Amara's npc. Like, I was that guy, like, trying to impress someone, and she was singing.

[Baby D]

Along on the npc.

[Mal]

Amara.

[Rory]

No, no, Amara wasn't there. There's a whole different day. Yeah.

[Baby D]

A woman.

[Mal]

Oh, my.

[Baby D]

Was singing while NPC was.

[Rory]

It's like, even though it's for kids, the. Is, like, kind of good. Like, it's surprisingly good. And I was. I was getting kind of busy, okay.

[Baby D]

And the girl was, like, singing to, like, his beats in his ear.

[Rory]

And I. And I had his ear, and I had the voice, like, the voice note thing going just so we could remember the melodies.

[Baby D]

Me and Be Yo. Me and Beatric was having a conversation, and at one point, Beatrice stopped her conversation. Looked over, looked.

[Rory]

The beat was so fire. He was like.

[Baby D]

Beatrice was like, yeah, over. Outside. I'm like, yeah, I'm about to call mine, too. I'mma go ahead. The Out. You macking on the children's npc.

[Rory]

Was I getting busy, though? The way.

[Mal]

The way. That's not the part, though. That's not what we talking about here. That's not the point. The point is, what are you doing? Like, the game is on. It's company in the house. And look what you trying to get into where?

[Rory]

My voice.

[Baby D]

And she was smiling, and with it, I'm like, nah, I can't, bro. I'm not. We not doing this.

[Mal]

Oh, my God. See, I'm so happ. I'm so happy. Those things happen when I'm not around.

[Rory]

Get busy.

[Baby D]

She really. Yeah, That's. He recorded it. Ma. I'm tell, bro. And then he could.

[Rory]

All right. If Maul gets funny around women, why can't I lean on one of my strengths?

[Mal]

It don't work like that. It ain't the same.

[Baby D]

You gonna do that, Corny. Wait till me and B leave.

[Mal]

Yeah, you could do that when nobody's around. You could be corny when nobody's around. But when you got corny. And the Knicks playing.

[Rory]

No, the game was over, and I. I caught some inspiration.

[Mal]

Did they lose?

[Baby D]

Yeah, we lost. And look what he doing.

[Mal]

Yeah. You're not even, like, heartbroken at the low.

[Rory]

That's why I got the inspiration. I felt sad.

[Mal]

So it was a dark sound.

[Rory]

Yeah. I create better ones. Yeah. You didn't hear how that fucking.

[Mal]

Okay, Bass. Okay. All right, so then. Yeah. Find triumph in the tragedy.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Yeah. Look for motivation. And the Knicks losing. But I mean, to do that. She's singing in the air, kind of giving you the melodies. You got company on the couch. They looking at you weird now. Ubers is outside all of a sudden. They didn't plan on leaving that soon.

[Baby D]

No, we did. We didn't, actually, but, you know, that's.

[Mal]

Like asking people, so what y' all about to do without asking?

[Rory]

No damage. Damaris should have picked up Amar's keyboard.

[Baby D]

You know, when you be around your homie, like, trying to like Mac, you just get. You feel nasty.

[Rory]

It wasn't even macking. I was just.

[Mal]

That's Mac, and we not doing it. I wasn't even trying to bust it out the npc.

[Rory]

It was already out.

[Mal]

No, but it was already sitting on the couch. But. But picking it up and using it. That's macking. Because you trying to really get into your artistic bag and let her see. Like, yo, we could go there. Like, we could create a record right here if you want. Yeah, that's macking. That's. That's that's.

[Rory]

Sometimes the universe speaks to you.

[Mal]

That's true. But I mean, sometimes you just have.

[Rory]

To crack the door and let God in.

[Mal]

See, whenever somebody say God, you can't argue with that. That's like conversation over. Like, it's like when you about to fight somebody and be like, yo, who you down with? With the blood of Jesus. You like, I can't hit this.

[Baby D]

I don't give a hot knock what set you from.

[Mal]

I'm not from no shit. I'm from the blood of Jesus.

[Baby D]

I don't give a knock if I'm ready to knock you out, I don't care who you upon.

[Rory]

Listen, man, some songs are made, some are gifted.

[Mal]

That's a fact. Speaking of fighting baddies, Africa is back. Listen, man, I. You haven't watched any of the baddies Africa. I don't know what you doing. First of all, about three episodes in.

[Rory]

Zeus show me how to put my notifications on cuz I did not know that Baddy's Africa was now already. How am I three episodes?

[Mal]

Listen, it's going. They went to the motherland and started just straight dist. This is why Africans don't like black Americans. I get it now. It makes all the sense in the world.

[Rory]

Yeah, but you just look who brought him? Brought him there. It was Natalie night. It wasn't even. It was a cosplay of black American.

[Mal]

Yo, listen, man, they in this house. I mean, it was about 17 fights before these girls even know which rooms they were sleeping in. Like, they got to the house. Thumping, fighting. Last night, they finally picked their rooms. Natalie. Natalie. Natalie and DTB seem to have buried their hatchet.

[Rory]

Oh, thank God.

[Mal]

Natalie seemed to extend an olive branch to dtb. And you know, they seem to be putting all of their mess behind them. Lex, you know, she wants to fight Summer. It's the battle of the cutest girls in the house. Lex doesn't like. Excuse me. Lex doesn't like. What's her name? Scotty. Lex doesn't like Scottie because Scottie is the pretty girl that doesn't really like to fight. She's more of a girly girl. So Lex came in last season, challenged her, wanted to fight her. Lex finally punched Scottie in the face last night. Scottie defended herself in Ford. Scottie's not a scary girl. She'll fight, but she doesn't like to fight. And I respect that about it. She's like, yo, I'm a cute girl. Like, I don't fight. This is not what I do. But I Ain't no punk.

[Rory]

But when it was time, what was her hands like?

[Mal]

No, she has. She has hands. She has feet, too. She likes to kick.

[Rory]

Okay, nice.

[Mal]

Scotty's one of those girls, she's tall.

[Rory]

So she's like flying knee kicks.

[Mal]

No, no, no, straight up. Like she knows how to time it. If you dodge it, she knows how to boom.

[Rory]

Like, oh, nice. Okay.

[Mal]

And just. You know what I'm saying? Put some space in between her. But she'll fight if she had to. So Lex and Scottie got their pretty girl fighting, but they seem to be, you know, cool. Got that out the way, like she let Lex, let her know, like, you know, I liked you, but you know what I'm saying, I needed that fight. Scottie was like, I don' why are we fighting? Like, I thought you was cool. I wanted to get to know you better. It was just girly girl stuff. But the girls was fighting. Shout out to Ivory. Ivory whooped Summer's ass last night. Finally. Finally, somebody beat Summer up. Summer seemed to cool down a little bit. Cuz Summer fight anybody. She don't give a. You tell her what your name is. She like, nah, that ain't your name. Your name ain't Rory. I'm not calling you that. Now, this a fight all of a sudden. Summer don't care. She's fighting everybody, huh? And Ivory got it in. Ivory whooped her ass last night. I mean, everything seems to be cool now with Summer.

[Rory]

All right. I'm glad Ivory humbled the situation.

[Mal]

Yeah, she had to. Ivory, she. She got tired of it. She got tired of Summer jumping and all of that. So she put the hands on it last night. But the girls got their bedrooms, nice beautiful house that they have. And yeah, man, that's where we at now. Next episode, they're fighting some more. Rory, it's not over. I don't want you to think that they got.

[Rory]

You mean the theme of the show.

[Mal]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

They didn't. No way.

[Mal]

That's happening on episode four, there's more fights, so you got to hurry up and catch up. You got to binge it. Binge the first three episodes so you can catch up to where I'm at. Absolutely. Baddies Africa. Love it. I'm locked in, man. I don't know what to say. I'm locked in. They get. They got me.

[Rory]

What part of Africa are they in?

[Mal]

I don't even know what part of wherever they fight a lot at. That's what they said. That's what they. Wherever they fight, that's where they landed. They landed in the middle.

[Rory]

Are they in Benghazi? Natalie none hasn't posted up in Benghazi.

[Mal]

Well, they're going to Nigeria. Oh, so they're probably there now. They don't. They're doing Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Morocco this year, this season with baddies. Africa. So shout out to Natalie None, Everybody at Zeus for putting this on. Y' all just fighting around the world. I love it, man. Let's get a bag. Let's fight and fly around the world.

[Rory]

Mandela.

[Mal]

Do I believe it was 28, something like that? 27 maybe. I could be wrong.

[Rory]

Fact check that Josh, he's probably looking down now like, I should have just stayed in there. Look at. Look at what is coming to South Africa. 27 years.

[Mal]

27 years. 27 years. How did I know that? I guess I should know that, right? As a black man in America, I need to know that. Yeah.

[Rory]

Do you think Elon will make a cameo in the South African one?

[Mal]

One. No. I can promise you Elon will not be on.

[Rory]

You never know, man.

[Mal]

You're right. I mean, that guy's shifty. If. Yeah, maybe if it was an election year, he would do it, but it's not election year, so he's chilling right now.

[Baby D]

You think he.

[Rory]

And knowing how Republicans view, they'll probably think that's the black vote. That's how they like, oh, this is where we need to hone in on this.

[Mal]

What you say, baby D?

[Baby D]

Do you think that he'll ever run.

[Rory]

For president, Elon, and he's not. You can't.

[Mal]

No.

[Baby D]

Oh, because he's not a. Oh, damn.

[Rory]

Well, only Obama was allowed to. The only non American allowed to run.

[Baby D]

Don't play with. With me. Watch your mouth, your white ass mouth.

[Rory]

We should have known what was coming when Donald Trump got off that plane and said, I am so proud of myself. I found the birth certificate. That was like a comedy sketch to me at that time. And now that's the most regular thing. Yeah, he was nobody at that time as far as political. I am so proud of myself. Yeah, that's a wild sentence to start your speech out with.

[Mal]

Gotta love it.

[Rory]

Finding something in public record. Yeah.

[Bob Pittman]

Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. On this week's episode of Math and Magic, I'm sitting down with the one.

[Rory]

And only Bobby Bones.

[Bob Pittman]

We're exploring the power of audio.

[Bobby Bones]

The word on the street then was, he's too country for pop. But then once I got to country, it was, he's too pop for country. So I kind of never really had a place to fit in. But that's exactly how and why I fit. I just embraced that. Like, yeah, I don't fit into one specific hole. I think that is what endeared me to listeners. That's why I'm here now, because I talk to people that grew up like me, have sensibilities like me, and have loyalties like me.

[Bob Pittman]

Listen to math and magic stories from the frontiers of Marketing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Hope Woodard]

Have you ever thought about going voiceover? I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator, and seeker of male validation. To most people, I'm the girl behind voiceover, the movement that exploded in 2024. Voiceover is about understanding yourself outside of sex and relationships. It's more than personal, it's political, it's societal. And at times, it's far from what I originally, originally intended it to be. These days, I'm interested in expanding what it means to be voiceover to make it customizable for anyone who feels the need to explore their relationship to relationships. I'm talking to a lot of people who will help us think about how we love each other.

[Rory]

It's a very, very normal experience to have times where a relationship is prioritizing.

[Hope Woodard]

Other parts of that relationship that aren't being naked together. How we love our family.

[Rory]

I've spent a lifetime trying to get my mother to love me, but the.

[Hope Woodard]

Price is too high. And how we love ourselves.

[Rory]

Singleness is not a waiting room. You are actually at the party right now. Let me hear it.

[Hope Woodard]

Listen to voiceover Starting May 28th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Rory]

Well, yeah, I'm definitely gonna catch up. I'm excited. Catch up. This is shaping up to be a better season than last.

[Mal]

Cause last season. No, no, no. This season is. This season is. This season is definitely looks like it's gonna be better than last season.

[Rory]

So the volume did not put us on the hardwood in the Garden, but they have made a promise that we will have something to do with the.

[Mal]

Reunion of baddies Africa.

[Rory]

Yeah, they didn't.

[Mal]

I'm here for it.

[Rory]

I'm just putting it out there.

[Mal]

I'm here for it.

[Baby D]

Y' all gonna break up fights?

[Mal]

No, no, I want to be with.

[Rory]

Body Lights in the. In the crowd, like, just laughing.

[Mal]

Yeah, I'm not here to break up no fights. I ain't getting Scotty.

[Baby D]

I don't even watch that show. But I want Scotty she's so fire.

[Rory]

I mean, I'm not mad at you.

[Mal]

I just had to make sure Baby D was dressed underneath that desk because you can see it from the waist up. So, like, now I can't even.

[Rory]

Like a Zoom meeting.

[Mal]

Yeah. I don't even know what Baby D be on over there. I see the good Joe Fresh goods on her feet, but I don't know. That's why I had to kind of look like.

[Rory]

You can see the ankles.

[Mal]

Yeah. I'm like, like, yo, what's going on under there? All right, all right. She dressed. She got clothes on.

[Rory]

You know who I want to see? Maybe not in this season of Baddies, but maybe when they come back to the States. I think Remy Ma and Clarissa Shields should go on the show.

[Mal]

All right, now, what we don't want. We don't want Clarissa Shields on any show where girls can fight, because that would be. Yeah, nobody wants to fight Clarissa Shield. Not even women that are getting paid to fight Clarissa Shield.

[Rory]

Well, she has a fight coming up, right?

[Mal]

Yeah, that girl doesn't want to fight. She has bills.

[Rory]

She's there for the party.

[Mal]

Has bills. She has bills like all of us, Rory. And this is what she's down to. She's like it. I'm fighting Clarissa next.

[Rory]

I will get CTE for this battle.

[Mal]

Yeah, it, man. I. No, but nobody wants to willingly just fight Clarissa Shields for sport. Like, you don't want that, man. Have you seen Clarissa Shields fight?

[Rory]

Yes.

[Mal]

You don't want.

[Rory]

I've seen. I've seen her just with the pads, with papoose.

[Mal]

Yeah, like, you don't want that problem. You don't want to fight Clarissa Shields. Like, just let her have a fight twice a year in the ring, you know, paid, and just get out of her way.

[Rory]

I'm extremely, in the words of Donald Trump, I'm very proud of myself. I do not know anything about the current things going on with Remy, Mom, Papus. Neither do I. I'm so happy. I purposely went out of my way to not click anything or even get a whole breakdown. I just know that they're beefing again and that Papu said he wrote 90 of her raps, which I don't know. When shether came out, we said on the podcast, this kind of sounds like Papoose wrote it. But have any of you been paying attention to their. Their public divorce? So what's been going on?

[Baby D]

What I've seen, they've both. They both kept going lives. The last time we were recording, they both were going live Back and forth. I guess what Remy Ma was compl. I guess Clarissa Shields must have mentioned her in an interview or something like that. And Remy Ma was responding like, basically keep my name out your mouth, yada, yada, yada, whatever, and started coming at Papoose. She said she feels bad for Clarissa Shields because Papoose is. Is the brokest person she's ever. The poorest person she's ever encountered in her life.

[Rory]

They had the same job and he's.

[Baby D]

Just taking advantage of her.

[Rory]

Wait, telling your co worker they're broke and y' all had. And y' all on the same salaries.

[Baby D]

Don't do that. I don't know how much either one of them makes.

[Rory]

Neither do I and I don't either of them. Well, yeah, because Remy had a lot of other stuff as well. And I. When she got out that all the way up record went crazy. I'm sure. But. But to act like Pap is broke and I don't know these people's pockets, I just think it's kind of. I don't think Pap was broke. I'll just put it that way.

[Mal]

So I just don't think that we should be privy to any of this. Like I.

[Baby D]

Well, I want them to kick us out the group chat.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's the only thing with me. Like I. Especially when.

[Rory]

Nah, this the one we can't be kicked out of the group chat.

[Mal]

Why?

[Rory]

If you want to be Remy and Pap, then you gotta be Remy and Pap now. Like they was couples goals forever.

[Baby D]

They was definitely willing Jada for a while.

[Mal]

They were the black love. It was beautiful to see them. Everybody praised Papoose for the way he, you know, held. Held. Held Remy down during her incarceration.

[Rory]

I feel like they did it the age old Bronx Brooklyn beef. Like they were the first two to come together and show that like Burrows can get along.

[Mal]

Yeah, they were there. They were at the front lines of that. Yeah, but I was.

[Rory]

When it goes like the years of violence that they ended.

[Mal]

Yeah, but it was just. It's just when things go sour, that's. That's when I just don't wanna. I. We shouldn't know about personal family things. And I. That shouldn't. That's not. You shouldn't. I just don't understand opening your. And going on ig live and then like just spewing out all of your like, you know, issues and family, you know, things to people who, one, really don't care. Two, who are laughing at your struggle or your, you know, family. Situation dynamic or whatever. Like, I just never understood that part of it. Like, I get it. You know, public figures and, you know, narratives can start to grow legs and, you know, you hear things and see things online and you want to put an end to it. So you think the best way to do it is just to go on IG and start talking to the rumors and things like that. But even when you do that, even if it's facts, people don't care. They're still laughing at you. Everything is a joke. You know, now they know your business. I just don't. I just like to see people handle things differently. I don't want to see Remy and Pat Poos, like, do this anymore. I think for number one, I think they're too old for this. Let's start there. I think that social media and all of that is a young person sport when it comes to those type of things. Let the youngins play out like that. That, like Remy and Pap don't need to be doing.

[Rory]

I mean, social media time is flying. Like, the people that grew up on social media are getting old. It's. It's about to be an old man's game.

[Mal]

Yeah, but you don't.

[Rory]

It's not just for the youngins.

[Mal]

Yeah, but. No, but don't air out personal family on IG Live.

[Rory]

And first of all, I agree with everything you're saying. I do see the perspective of trying to clear up things about your personal life. But to your point, nothing ever have you ever seen a rumor successfully really get cleared up up, like even how he complimented HOV when he got in front of that whole thing. And no, he didn't do that. There's still a million people saying, like, oh, he. He definitely paid the judge like he did.

[Mal]

That's.

[Rory]

You never actually clear up a rumor completely.

[Mal]

But that's why. But that's why it makes no sense to do it. Jay Z adding to it now, Jay didn't hop on IG Live and say, yo, I never touched that girl. I was here that night. You could call so and so, they'll tell you where I was at. Like that. It. It doesn't matter if you do that or not. It doesn't matter. People are going to think what they want to think. They're going to laugh. They're going to, you know, poke fun. I'm sure SN will probably have a skit, duh, something soon. Like, I'm just saying, like, it's got.

[Rory]

Us the, like, the opening shot has to be. Papu's getting A haircut with a fitted on.

[Mal]

Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

[Rory]

Like Pap. Who's talking Everyone in the barbershop with.

[Mal]

The fitted Jay Pharaoh. He has to. He has to do that. He has to. Are you kidding me?

[Rory]

I'd like to see Michael Che as Pap and what's her name from bridesmaids? Wilma Rudolph. No, that I know who you talking about.

[Mal]

That sounds like it might be worth right many.

[Rory]

Wasn't Wilma Rudolph like a track runner that beat polio Maya?

[Baby D]

Yeah. When.

[Rory]

Yeah, I think she'd have an amazing Remy Ma and I would hope 99% of the SNL audience wouldn't get get the Wouldn't understand.

[Mal]

No, that's just for us at home. That's just for us at home.

[Rory]

We get to hold that one.

[Mal]

Nothing to do with the studio audience. That's just for us.

[Rory]

But yeah, the only thing I I did see outside of the actual headlines was one Remy Ma post where she was doing foxy math of their dating timeline. She was like 11 years ago, you were 13 and we had 10 in and then we're married. I could not keep up.

[Baby D]

She cooked though about what she. Because what she said. Well, first of all, let me read it to you. If you just turned 30 and allegedly just met someone eight months ago that is 47 years old that I knew since you were 10 and been married to them since you were 13, he has four biological children. One age 28, will be 29 this year when you're 31, age 25, another one age 24 and a six year old baby and currently promising you a newborn while finally agreeing to divorce 18 hours, 54 minutes and 3 seconds ago. Please refrain from speaking. Which is basically what she's basically saying is this is my husband and I've been with this nigga since you were in middle school doing the Soulja Boy. You dance. Be quiet. And I don't blame her for that because she has a point.

[Rory]

But wait, it's half and half keys. One to two fifths. So how we flip 32 grams raw, chop it in half, get 16 double it times three. We got 48 years in.

[Mal]

What math is that?

[Rory]

Foxy Chad GBT. We should put that in for Foxy's verse on affirmative action to see if it does in fact add up to three more quarters of a key. But also why does that matter if you're not with that person? Who cares?

[Mal]

Like. Like, right?

[Baby D]

It's very easy to like.

[Rory]

How is that, how is that a stat if I'm in a happy relationship? And they had a 10 year relationship before me and are not together. Like what I'm be like, oh, damn.

[Baby D]

But that's not me. It's not a stat. I don't think she was saying it as a stat. It's I know this person better than you ever will. So you're. Instead of you just believing what he's saying. You need to mind your business and I don't. Remy could be lying about Pat Cap, but me personally, if I'm dating somebody for eight months to a year and they've been with somebody for 20 years, damn near I'm gonna shut up when it comes to their relationship because I don't know that there's a whole lot of history that I don't know. I could be happy in my relationship, of course, but I'm not going to be speaking about it publicly because I'm very likely to be made to look stupid because for 20 years they got a lot of history with each other and this can go wrong. They can end up back together, they're still married. I' ma just shut up and be happy in my relationship and quiet.

[Mal]

It just.

[Baby D]

Me personally.

[Mal]

Does anybody think that she knows that.

[Rory]

That version of pap. She don't know this new healed version.

[Mal]

Okay, does anybody feel like this may be.

[Baby D]

A rollout for loving hip hop?

[Rory]

Yeah. Like Mona may be behind all of it?

[Mal]

Well, if she's not behind it, she's definitely on phone calls and emails right now.

[Rory]

Yeah, it may have started out organic, but now she's definitely playing chess.

[Mal]

Like, does anybody feel like this may be like just a little embellished just a little bit?

[Rory]

Probably.

[Baby D]

I don't, I don't know. It's possible because you got to think.

[Mal]

If this is garnering this much attention on social media and you know, you got to think that there's a TV producer somewhere.

[Rory]

Like, I mean, I don't know what. Well, I know, I know your answer. I know you wouldn't do this, but if you needed it, I'm not saying they do. Would you conspire with your ex and their new partner, with your partner to like, well, we know that do this whole thing.

[Mal]

We personally know people that have done it.

[Rory]

No, of course. This, there's a whole show called Love and Hip Hop.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

They even like just make up relationships to do it.

[Mal]

Right.

[Rory]

But I don't know that. Just.

[Mal]

So if, if this is real and I'm on the side of this is real, can you not see somebody, a TV producer reaching out saying, hey, listen.

[Rory]

Of course I'M saying, let's say it's not real at all. And the four of them.

[Mal]

Them.

[Rory]

I'm including Easy the block captain in this, are really conspiring as all four. Like, all right, we know people care about the breakup. Should we just lean into this and both. All four of us get a bag and go on tv? I don't. I don't know if I. Again, my ego. I don't know if I'd be able to do that.

[Mal]

I. Me, personally, I wouldn't be able to do it.

[Rory]

Especially with the history that we do know with Easy and Pap and like, that entire thing.

[Mal]

And it's just a liability because now you're asking Clarissa to be on tv, she has to sign all kind of to where she's not gonna hit anybody.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Because if she punched somebody in the face, I mean, yo, we.

[Rory]

Was it Patreon? What were we talking about with the couples.

[Baby D]

Couples fight night.

[Mal]

Duh.

[Rory]

Imagine you doing couples fight night and run into to Pap in her. They cleaning up the whole restaurant. Have you ever seen Pat fight before?

[Mal]

No.

[Rory]

That's the scariest couple ever.

[Baby D]

Pew, pew, pew, pew.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah. The only way to, like, the only way to survive the two of them would be to get a gun.

[Baby D]

Yeah, they might fight up.

[Rory]

Pap is cleaning everybody up too.

[Mal]

And Pap gonna rap to you while you hitting you. You should have zigged when you zag.

[Rory]

Then he's gonna take you to the wise. Why you do that? It's gonna. Why would you even get involved now? You need an X ray. He do the whole Alphabet backwards while putting the brakes on you.

[Mal]

God. Yo, you can't get beat up and then go home and be like. But homie was rapping while he was.

[Baby D]

Don't come home.

[Mal]

Yeah. Nah, you can't come.

[Baby D]

You gotta bring me that head before you allow back in the house.

[Rory]

Nah, just kill me.

[Mal]

Listen, man. Love to Pap and Rem. Shout out to Clarissa. Shout out to Easy.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah.

[Mal]

I don't like to say shout out to Easy the blockhead. That whole name just. I Can we get. What is this, like, abbreviated? Is it just Easy?

[Baby D]

Yeah, I think it's Easy.

[Mal]

Easy, Easy. Shout out to Easy.

[Baby D]

Easy.

[Rory]

I gotta say the whole. You have to say the whole thing.

[Mal]

Shout out to Easy to block Captain.

[Baby D]

Whoop is what Captain? What block is he the captain of, though? I'm not actually funny. I really want to know.

[Mal]

I guess the block he's from. I don't. I don't know. Damaris. If you're looking for a real answer.

[Baby D]

To your question I was asking.

[Mal]

I have no idea. I'm gonna guess it's the block he grew up on.

[Baby D]

Oh.

[Rory]

But it seems like he's saying in.

[Baby D]

Generic, like, any block, any block, he the captain.

[Mal]

It's easy.

[Rory]

And, yeah, it's very easy for him to become the captain. Like, I'm the captain. Anytime he steps anywhere, I'm the captain.

[Mal]

Yeah, look. Look at me.

[Rory]

There's some wild rap names.

[Mal]

The real fight should be easy and Pap getting in there and getting in the ring and rapping.

[Rory]

I agree. Didn't they have some fisticuffs thing or was that alleged? Do we know if that was confirmed?

[Mal]

I don't know.

[Rory]

I've heard, like, three different sides of that story.

[Mal]

Yeah, I don't know if that was confirmed. The last time I ever heard anything about that. I think easy was saying that. That he invited pap to fight and Pap duck to fade. Like, he was avoiding the fade. Like, that was like, one of them snuck.

[Baby D]

The other one, though, I think they. They was trying to say pap snuck.

[Rory]

But then I've heard a story that it wasn't. He didn't sneak him. He.

[Mal]

That's what I'm saying.

[Rory]

Straight up caught him.

[Mal]

And I can't keep up with this. Like, I just.

[Rory]

I've heard so many different battle rap rounds about that situation. I just don't know who to believe at this point. Like, somebody clear this up.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, why didn't Lux, like, address this?

[Mal]

Do you think that Pat wrote 90% of Remy's right raps?

[Rory]

No, but I can tell, like, some of the ones that he did.

[Mal]

I mean, he sounded very. He was saying if you. He can go on his email and just start typing in some of the bars, and it'll literally pop up. Like, songs that he.

[Rory]

But Remy had so many records before they even, like, met.

[Baby D]

That's what I'm saying.

[Rory]

Like, but I can definitely hear his influence on a bunch of records. We've said that even before when they were together. Like, I can even just tell by this pocket in this flow. This is a papa to me. Shether was all papoose.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So I can. I can see it. What was the hit that he said? He said on My Daughter, I wrote.

[Baby D]

Oh, God, I don't even remember.

[Rory]

But, like, I don't think. I can't really hear Pap on the her all the way up. Well, I guess I. Maybe. Maybe I could. But also, if you're a rap couple.

[Mal]

Like, yeah, why wouldn't you?

[Rory]

Why not? Yeah, we know Remy can write, but we've heard Fat Joe say Remy writes by herself too. Like.

[Baby D]

Oh, conceited did. Which would break my heart.

[Mal]

Pap said he wrote that.

[Baby D]

He said he wrote 90% of it. Well, he wrote. Yeah, he wrote a significant portion. And he wrote. Conceded. Yes.

[Rory]

I don't know. But again though, Remy was one of those that. I always thought she did write everything. Yeah, like Foxy. We know there's been rumors of certain stuff. Kim we've heard. Well, not rumors like Big Rope. A lot of stuff. But Kim's also wrote her own shit. Remy. I always thought that was never really like a thing.

[Mal]

I mean, it makes sense though if we a couple because then I, you know, I get a check from writing. Yeah, you obviously get a check from writing and performing and it being on your albums. I mean, keep the. Keep the money right here in the family. Why not? It makes sense.

[Rory]

And even. Even though I know Papoose and. And Fat Joe like deaded all their beef, I still don't think it was like that cool that he would just be chilling in the studio when they were making their joint album. Album.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But I could be wrong. Maybe he was.

[Baby D]

And also I would like to just. You know, I always have to stand up for female rap. That is a big rumor that people hear about Kim or whatever that Big wrote a lot of Kim stuff. I just want to say that Kim only had one album out when. Before Big died. All the rest of her albums. Big was dead. So.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Want to clear that up.

[Rory]

We've talked about. Because I love Prodigy's book. He straight up said he thought Kim didn't write any of her. And when they did the Quiet Storm, Kim sat there and wrote the entire verse by herself.

[Baby D]

Which is what people would call yes, by far. Well, and probably the best verse on that song. One of them.

[Rory]

And also like Kim's first album, she was like what, like 17? Big, you know, she wasn't an adult yet.

[Mal]

Big taught her how to rap, but he taught her how to, you know, her voice and everything.

[Rory]

There's references that who get leaked that are hilarious.

[Mal]

Yeah, but.

[Rory]

And even Foxy on Reasonable Doubt, like obviously a 16 year old foxy didn't write that. Which I think she went on to actually write stuff.

[Baby D]

But see, I also, I want to take away from that too because. Because young girls can rap about all of that nasty shit in a good, A good way. I was rapping. I had. I was writing verses to the Whisper Song when I was 11 years old.

[Rory]

Were you, like, in the same flow and whispering?

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Rory]

Can I get, like, a little taste?

[Mal]

Like you whispered your whole 16 whisper on the pussy.

[Baby D]

Yes. It was shit that I should not have been saying at 11 years old.

[Mal]

But now you see why. You see these IG lives when them girls me in their rooms rapping, and the father coming there with the belt. So that would have been you?

[Baby D]

My parents. But see, this is the thing. Like, my parents, they just. They would have never expected that from me. They have no idea about that to this day. I don't think they know about that.

[Mal]

They know about your father heard the verse. He would have cried.

[Baby D]

Oh, yeah. No, my father.

[Rory]

The only time as a father I would have.

[Baby D]

My father only hit me two times. I will never forget. The first time was I was rapping jump off mouth. And I said. He told us in the car. Yeah, he said. I said, I can make a spray can disappear in my mouth. And he punched me in my throat like. Like, just real quick.

[Mal]

No, he was just checking to see if the spray can was in.

[Rory]

Now you'll never do it.

[Mal]

Let's close that throat.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Yeah. He. He ain't playing.

[Mal]

What was the second time?

[Baby D]

Oh, I. He. It was a reflex. He. He was walking down the stairs, and my dad's bald, and I was, like, a little, like, just active kid, so I just ran behind him and, like, slapped the back of his head. And his re. Like, his reaction was just to move his arm and, like, knock me down the stairs. He felt so bad, but it was a re.

[Mal]

He didn't know it was you. He didn't.

[Baby D]

I think he just did it automatically. He wasn't even paying attention.

[Mal]

Your pops thought them caught up to me after all them years.

[Rory]

I knew this day would come. And he was training for it, too.

[Mal]

Pop stuff. Them spun the block.

[Rory]

How'd they get in the house?

[Baby D]

Yeah, that was the. That was the first time. Yeah, the only two times, yo.

[Mal]

Oh, my God.

[Rory]

And, yeah, I've met her pops. He looks like he had beef in 86, but, like, he's reformed now.

[Mal]

One of them from the freak Nick came back.

[Rory]

Yo, yo, I saw that you. There was a private video from your YouTube back in the day that you want to, like, make available and not tell anyone. Can you give, like, a hint of what that is?

[Baby D]

No, I just. I was. So there's a tik tok challenge that was going on. I'll send it to Josh, and Josh, go pull it up on the screen. There was a tik tok challenge that Was going on where people were just posting, like, old videos of themselves and then, like, a new video of themselves. So I went looking for all the old videos of myself, But I don't have, like, normal people ones. Like, I don't have, like, normal people ones, you know, like, normal, like, girls like, videos that they do. I don't have that. All of mine are just so embarrassing that they should never see the light of day. And I was just looking. I'm like. Because my YouTube that I have now is my same YouTube I've had since I was 14 years old. The videos are just private it. So I was like, oh, maybe one day I'll un private one and just like, let it see. Let it hit the timeline.

[Rory]

Didn't you have one that you said went, like, super viral?

[Baby D]

Yeah, but that. That'll never hit the timeline. Yeah, it hit like, 2 million. I had like 2 million views when I was, like, 14 years old.

[Mal]

What was.

[Rory]

Give me some keywords. I'm sure somebody.

[Baby D]

I was one of the first people they ever hit up about, like, monetization. I remember, like, getting that email.

[Mal]

You were one of the first people to be monetized on YouTube.

[Baby D]

I didn't accept it. I didn't accept. I was young. I didn't know what the I was doing. But they. They emailed me when monetization station first became available.

[Mal]

And you said, no money. Just sitting there.

[Baby D]

I was a kid. I didn't know.

[Mal]

What was you doing rapping.

[Baby D]

I was dancing. It was a dance battle between me and my best friend Leigh, who you met at Broccoli City.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Baby D]

Dark skinned girl was with.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here thinking that Damaris was the one screaming Sharkesha.

[Baby D]

No, I love that video. No, but this was a tick tock challenge, and it made me like, look. Oh, y' all can't see. It's too dark.

[Rory]

Yeah, no hit play, though.

[Mal]

This is the one.

[Rory]

This is the one that reached 2 million views. Wait, this is the first silhouette challenge. Yeah, but wait, how old are you?

[Baby D]

That is so loud. Sorry.

[Mal]

And this was the one that hit 2 million views.

[Baby D]

No, that will never see the light. You'll never doubt I was dancing.

[Rory]

Can I watch it, though?

[Baby D]

Barefoot on concrete. I showed it to you when we were in a hotel in la.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, that's right. I want to rewatch. You could pat me down and make sure I'm not filming it.

[Mal]

You was dancing barefoot on concrete.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I split. Barefoot on concrete.

[Mal]

It.

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Mal]

Oh, you a hood, baby. For sure.

[Rory]

Let's try to tell you that you a hood rat.

[Mal]

Like only a hood rat can do.

[Rory]

Trying to tell you that the marriage is cleaner. Act up.

[Baby D]

But yeah, I really am. It's so funny. That's why when they be calling me, when they was calling me Nunu, when they found out that my grandfather was well off, I'm like, y' all have no idea.

[Mal]

Oh, my God.

[Baby D]

I'm like a real hood, baby.

[Mal]

That is hilarious.

[Rory]

But yeah, that's very funny. Moving on to. To promo videos. I guess this Khed's back in the streets after he shot Lord. A half a billion dollar promo video with Mark Wahlberg for two Drake records.

[Mal]

Two Drake records that he doesn't have.

[Rory]

I just want. All right, I think Khed, I. I appreciate his promo techniques, but I would like a real moment from Khed on this press run of why the that happened because you shot that insane mini movie. 2 Drake Records is the reason you canceled that entire thing. Like, you're Khaled. You have access and resources to everybody Drake. That's what's make. What's gonna make or break.

[Mal]

Rory, if you had two Drake records.

[Rory]

For your album, I would, I would get them cleared before I called Mark Wahlberg.

[Mal]

Oh, well, yeah. Yes. But if you've going off of your relationship in the past that you've had with Drake and this is how you do things, like, it was a way different time. Yes, it was. But to Khaled, it was. It wasn't. Khaled was thinking it was still. Everything was cool. Everything was, you know, and Drake was going through a moment. He felt like, nah, bro. Like, everything is not the same. Like, everything is completely different now on.

[Rory]

Top of what was going on. Plus, those records were probably like 5 years old at that point. Yeah, Khaled was walking around Drake concerts. I have two Drake songs, and that was like five years ago. No, I'm not believing that Drake is going to want to put out two records that are five years old when the. His sound and the sound has changed so much.

[Mal]

Well, his sound has changed.

[Rory]

Just confidently put all that money in. And then also like, all right, cool. Use that as the rollout, too. Clearly, if you're doing that type of promo, you have the rest of the album. Fill in some gaps. Obviously, Drake is the biggest artist, but you're Khaled. Go find other big artists. And that's the promo. I would love to hear the. The Khaled album coming off Drake saying, yo, I'm not putting those two records out. I would go right to it to.

[Mal]

See like, oh, and if I was Khed, I would have leaned into that. I would. The next day, I'd have, like. I thought I had two Drake.

[Rory]

That would be the new T shirt.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I would have leaned, right.

[Rory]

I would walk around Miami with that shirt.

[Mal]

Yeah. Like, I thought I had two Drake. This album. That would have been the name of the album. This album had two Drake records. And then right where I was gonna put those albums, it'd be me talking like. Yeah. So obviously this is where the record would have been, but obviously things are different.

[Rory]

And then I'd. I'd replace it with, like, a black hippie reunion.

[Mal]

Nah, now you. Now you.

[Rory]

Now I'm thinking, like, a genius that Khaled would be in that situation.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

On the beat that I gave to.

[Mal]

Drake to do that black hippie. Yeah. That's disrespectful. You can't do that.

[Rory]

I mean, Drake said in the comments. Must be Jake Bell.

[Baby D]

Yo, that was hilarious. That was tough.

[Rory]

He.

[Baby D]

I think he.

[Mal]

He.

[Baby D]

He embarrassed. He was just embarrassed, and I think he. That's why he backed out of it. But he should have. He should have leaned in. Who embarrassment?

[Mal]

Sometimes I don't think Cal was embarrassed. I think he was like, oh, like, Drake ain't with me. It wasn't. I don't think it was embarrassment. It was like a. Like, oh, I. I guess he ain't with me, but I don't think it was embarrassing. This should be embarrassing.

[Rory]

But Khaled's been doing. Khaled is a genius promoter. And, yeah, this.

[Mal]

Yeah, Khaled. Khaled is not embarrassed. Khaled knows who he is. He's. He leans into the embarrassment. You think Khaled shouldn't be doing or wouldn't do is exactly what he does. And this is no different. This video. What's the guy's name? Ashton. Yeah.

[Baby D]

That's the morning.

[Rory]

This is great promo. I think this is right on par for great Khaled promo.

[Mal]

Yeah, no, this is. This is. This is 100 Khalid promo.

[Rory]

But is this just Khaled Khaled promo or is this album promo? Because we did see, like, once Khaled got super, super famous with the social media. He did just do a lot of stuff because he was social media famous.

[Mal]

Yeah. I gotta get.

[Rory]

Is this album related or is this. He's just doing it.

[Mal]

I would hope so. I would hope this is album related.

[Rory]

It's okay.

[Mal]

It is album related. Yeah, it has to be. Callan ain't doing this just for a viral video. He's attaching music to this for sure.

[Baby D]

He used to do viral stuff all the time just for fun, but now it's usually album related.

[Rory]

Calling your album that and not saying a word about Palestine as well. Mall you ever enter a phone plan and just think, wow, this is a great price. And then you get your bill?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And it's like, nah, this is not the price we said it was going to be. But Boost Mobile does not do that. You pay 25amonth. Forever forever.

[Mal]

[Bob Pittman]

Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia. On this week's episode of Math and Magic, I'm sitting down with the one and only Bobby Bones. We're exploring the power of audio.

[Bobby Bones]

The word on the street then was he's too country for pop. But then once I got to country, it was he's too pop for country. So I kind of never really had a place to fit in. But that's exactly how and why I fit. I just embraced that. Like, yeah, I don't fit into one specific hole. I think that is what endeared me to listeners. That's why I'm here now, because I talk to people that grew up like me, have sensibilities like me, and have loyalties like me.

[Bob Pittman]

[Hope Woodard]

Have you ever thought about going Voiceover I'm Hope Woodard, a comedian, creator and seeker of mail validation. To most people, I'm the girl behind Voiceover, the movement that exploded in 2024. Voiceover is about understanding yourself outside of sex and relationships. It's more than personal. It's political, it's societal. And at times, it's far from what I originally intended it to be. These days, I'm interested in expanding what it means to be boycott sober to make it customizable for anyone who feels the need to explore their relationship to relationships. I'm talking to a lot of people who will help us think about how we love each other.

[Rory]

It's a very, very normal experience to have times where a relationship is prioritizing.

[Hope Woodard]

Other parts of that relationship that aren't being naked together, how we love our Family.

[Rory]

I've spent a lifetime trying to get my mother to love me, but the.

[Hope Woodard]

Price is too high. And how we love ourselves.

[Rory]

Singleness is not a waiting room. You are actually at the party right now. Let me hear it.

[Hope Woodard]

Listen to voiceover Starting May 28th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Mal]

But yes, Rory, speaking of having two Drake records, a person that does have two Drake records, Drake announced.

[Baby D]

Ah.

[Rory]

Can you prove it?

[Mal]

I can prove it. Drake announced that OVO Fest will be back this summer. Summer in Toronto. If you've ever been to OEO Fest. Drake had stopped doing it for a couple years, but he announced at Central Seas. Central Seas Toronto show that OVO Fest will be back this summer. And I know a lot of people in Toronto were happy to hear that.

[Rory]

Is it going to be during Carabana weekend or.

[Mal]

It should be. It's usually around that time, since a lot of people think it's always that weekend will be in the city. Yeah, it's kind of. It kind of, you know, parlays into part of the. The Caribbean weekend. Central C is one of the performers that will be performing.

[Rory]

That is a fact. I know he did it at the show.

[Mal]

Okay. Central C will be performing. Drake didn't announce any other people. He just said surprise guest will be making an appearance, and one of the surprise guests will be myself. I will be there.

[Rory]

Is that a surprise?

[Mal]

No, it's not a surprise, but I will. I definitely will be going.

[Rory]

Hosted by.

[Mal]

No, not hosting. I just want to go and enjoy.

[Rory]

I think you'd be. I've. I watched you host the Benny Show.

[Mal]

I think it's a little different, though. Like, Benny OVO Fest.

[Rory]

Yeah, I think you could. Yeah, you could just. Just throw money bags out in the crowd.

[Mal]

Like, yeah, let's do it.

[Rory]

But like, actual, like, with coins. Like, let's hurt people. Like, you just throw in, like, the.

[Mal]

Little loonies and toonies in Canada. Just throw those out there. Absolutely. But, yeah, it was dope to hear that OVO Fest will be back. I. I never understood why Dre. I mean, probably schedule and, you know, being busy, he probably wanted to give it a break. But OVO Fest was great for Caravan a week and a lot of people. People look forward to that. You know, away from just the parade and Carabana, OVO Fest was something that people look forward to as far as this show.

[Rory]

Yeah, it always had great lineups. I think it's a great move. I think what Drake needs for public perception right now is to prove that people still absolutely love him. Even if you check the streaming numbers, it's clear. But with that said, I think for the perception wise, seeing the amount of people that will obviously go to OVO Festing, the artists that will come there, like a lot of the perception of, of who he's become, this, this can turn. It's a good PR move.

[Mal]

Do you think that there was any slight to J. Cole? J. Cole announced that this was the last.

[Rory]

Well, they said they're going to continue sort of with Dreamboat. But no, I don't think it had anything to do with Jacob.

[Mal]

I saw the time.

[Rory]

Do you think, oh my gosh, you.

[Mal]

Know, people make up anything.

[Rory]

Drake was sitting there like now, now's the time.

[Mal]

Bring it back.

[Rory]

Because it was over because Raleigh, North Carolina and Toronto were competing.

[Mal]

It's one of the same. Same.

[Rory]

Everyone in Raleigh was like, it's like, I want to go to OVO Fest, like Thriller.

[Mal]

And I thought it'd be different.

[Rory]

I'm gonna piss you off. Dreaml Fest would be the Thriller in the situation. I just want to, I just want to make that clear.

[Mal]

I mean, yeah, it probably would be. It's more.

[Rory]

It's only because I have so many Toronto artists on. I thought it'd be different.

[Mal]

Exactly. Of course, exactly.

[Rory]

But yeah, I think it's cool. I'm curious what the lineup will be with. With the not enemies of Drake, but I just feel like he's not with a lot of people. So I'm curious what this lineup would look like besides mall in Central City.

[Mal]

I think it's definitely going to be, I think a lot of new artists.

[Rory]

Yeah, I can see that.

[Mal]

I think a lot of new artists are going to, you know, give them that stage and that, that moment to kind of, you know, get their off. I think there'll be some though, you know, that, that we'll be surprised to see as well. Well, I think there'll be some reconciliations on stage maybe.

[Rory]

I think Future will be a part of it. Not a surprise. I think Future will be a headliner. I think what's what. What year did. What A Time to Be Alive came out?

[Mal]

It was that 2012. 20. No, 2014-2014-2014-2015.

[Rory]

2015. Oh, so we're at the 10 year anniversary, right? You know, I'm bad at math, went to public school. I can see. My prediction is that they performed that album in its entirety for the 10 year anniversary.

[Mal]

I'm not mad, just a guess because.

[Rory]

We know they've kind of like Reconciled, sort of behind the scenes.

[Mal]

Yeah. And it was never really an issue with Drake and Future per se. It was more so Drake and Metro, I think had had more of a issue or a little, you know, little tift. It was never really Drake and Future kind of just got, you know, he was in the middle of it because obviously Metro's his guy, you know, so it was a little moment misunderstandings and, you know, a little overlay and maybe dating certain women. You know how that thing can make things a little cloudy sometimes. But I'm not mad at that.

[Rory]

That's not a bad 10 year anniversary. That's my prediction.

[Mal]

It makes sense.

[Rory]

Sense.

[Mal]

It makes sense.

[Rory]

And didn't it come out around the summertime too? September came out September. All right. So yeah.

[Mal]

So it makes sense. Be around the same time.

[Rory]

That would be worth the ticket of admission. Even though I've been critical of that album, that live with the two of them would be. Yeah, Insane.

[Mal]

Baby D. You can just call him.

[Baby D]

I'm cool.

[Mal]

Okay. Never mind.

[Rory]

So Damaris will in fact be there as well. Yeah, no surprise.

[Mal]

She just let us know why.

[Rory]

You cool?

[Baby D]

I'm cool. I ain't going. But I mean, you know, you guys should go and have a great time.

[Rory]

You want to go to Toronto during Caravan weekend?

[Baby D]

Like, I'm okay, but y' all should go and have fun.

[Mal]

It.

[Baby D]

It sounds like it's going to be amazing time and we don't even know.

[Rory]

Tell me what about it sounds like an amazing time.

[Mal]

We don't know who perform on a.

[Rory]

Shitty mic at a Central seashow. Tell me.

[Baby D]

I mean, that energy, when you got that energy with it, it's going to be crazy. You know it's coming back. The return, the rebirth.

[Rory]

Does he have Kanye headline again?

[Mal]

One person I could promise you is Kanye west will not be there. I can probably. You sure? No, I'm reference.

[Baby D]

He fake cancel Kanye. But he's still mad tapped in. I don't know.

[Rory]

All right. To find mad tapped into Kanye Western, you be.

[Baby D]

You'll be tapped in to what?

[Mal]

Let me see how many times he listened to Hell Hitler. Give me your. Give me your phone.

[Rory]

Damn.

[Mal]

How many years Your phone died.

[Rory]

It just died. Yeah. Fuck. I hate sometimes you're forgetting to put this in.

[Baby D]

Yo. I hate when you ask a like it's dying.

[Mal]

It's dying.

[Baby D]

Is you gonna be soon if you don't charge that and hand it to me.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

[Rory]

Not even on streaming.

[Mal]

Yeah, I feel you. You're right.

[Rory]

And I did see June 15th bully did see that post. Having the pre order to something that won't be on streaming is hilarious. Nah, it's gonna go straight to my stem player.

[Mal]

Yo, Kanye better send me my 25. I paid for them little Nazi boots he had on his site. And they never. They never shipped them. They never shipped them. Yeah, man. Because I looked at them. I saw them. I was like, you know, for the snow and, like, you know, like that in New York. They wasn't bad. I was like, those look like they could be comfortable.

[Rory]

No, I mean, German engineering is the highest.

[Mal]

No, they look like they could be comfortable. And it was like, it was only 25 out there. I was like, why not?

[Rory]

I didn't even see the boots.

[Mal]

You didn't see them. They was like. They was. They was great for, like, New York winter. Like, it was, like, messy. You can get, you know, snow salt on them. It didn't matter to what.

[Rory]

What do I. I don't want to type in Nazi boots.

[Mal]

But it's not. Not. It's the yay boots.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mal]

Yeah, these. Yeah, for $20.

[Rory]

Oh, no, those are kind of hard.

[Mal]

That's what I'm saying. I'm not.

[Rory]

I'm not a fan of low $20.

[Mal]

I was like, but the boots take s nose.

[Baby D]

They never gave them to you.

[Mal]

Shit's never shipped.

[Baby D]

Mommy. You got the same shoes on, but in reverse colors. I just noticed that.

[Mal]

Do we. Okay, yeah, we got the. Got the belly pack on. There you go. All right.

[Rory]

Oh, and I can see the rubber. Oh, yeah, those are. That's grip on the sidewalk, man.

[Mal]

You see where I was going for $20?

[Rory]

Even on, like, the subway, too.

[Mal]

Yeah, These are for $20, Rory. I bought them.

[Rory]

There's a reason why they were $20. They never existed.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

The Lavaro got me, and I paid way more than $20 for them shits.

[Mal]

They never sent you in my.

[Rory]

To this day.

[Mal]

That's crazy. Well, because you pay like, what, 400 for those?

[Rory]

More.

[Mal]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Baby D]

I never got my WAP umbrella from Cardi and Megan either.

[Rory]

It's because I wouldn't know it was available. But that's actually a genius marketing.

[Baby D]

I know. I was so excited on it.

[Mal]

It said wap.

[Baby D]

It said wap. It had Cardi and Megan's face. I can't remember because this was so long ago, but I ordered. I never got my WAP umbrella. I really wanted that, too. My sister ordered sweatpants. I'm like, nah, you don't get the vision. The umbrella.

[Mal]

So see, so instead of saying mall deserves this smoke. You should have said. Said, where's my umbrella Cardi.

[Baby D]

She don't know. That's her. Her marketing and sales.

[Mal]

Somebody over there in her. Her hotel suite. No. Where them umbrellas at? Sitting at.

[Rory]

They should have sold mops. That would have been like. I would have bought that for clean supplies.

[Mal]

Whops mops. Wop mops, pop mops.

[Rory]

It's just so wet.

[Mal]

Bleep that out. They ain't paying us for that.

[Rory]

It's too. You think they're gonna.

[Baby D]

It's too late.

[Rory]

For what? The 10 year anniversary. They're just going to sell mops.

[Mal]

Yeah, at the five year. You don't.

[Baby D]

Five.

[Mal]

Five year anniversary is a thing now. They gonna have a show of five. Well, not two years now, right? This song came out three years ago.

[Baby D]

That song came out four years.

[Mal]

Bleep that, man.

[Rory]

Nah, keep it.

[Mal]

Nah, that.

[Rory]

No, it's copywritten. If we said it right now.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

It's copywritten. Speaking of amazing inventions, I'm reading this. I don't know why these people posted this. I saw this over the weekend. The app is called you're cancelled. When you've made plans that you wish you could cancel, you go into the app and press a little button.

[Mal]

Button.

[Rory]

If the other person presses theirs too, Congratulation, Confetti exploded. And your plans are canceled. If you press yours but the other person doesn't, your plans remain intact. And they never find out you wanted to cancel, why this app doesn't exist and why they just gave this out for free. Like, this should be in my iOS now.

[Mal]

Wait, the. The plans remain intact?

[Rory]

Yeah. So if I hit the button and the other person doesn't. They don't know that I tried to cancel. Cancel. And you know, you just go do something you didn't want to do, but if you both hit it anonymously, you see, it's kind of like a. Like Tinder. If you both swipe, you get matched. That would be the same thing with the plans that we have.

[Mal]

Okay, but if. Okay, because you lost me a little bit. So if I hit cancel and you.

[Baby D]

Don'T, he'll never know.

[Rory]

They'll never know that I tried to cancel the plans because you've ever been at home like, damn, I really don't want to do this. And like you even like send a feeler out there, like, hey, you know, if you're busy, like, we could reschedule.

[Mal]

No, my favorite is yo, they said it's supposed to snow tonight. It's all, oh, that's my. Yeah, in August, it snows.

[Rory]

So essentially, everyone would have this app and you could hit that button because I feel like sometimes two people both don't want to go do plans, but they're scared to say and cancel. Like, so they just both go and do something. Have you ever had, like, a relief like, oh, you don't want to go either?

[Mal]

Yes, absolutely.

[Rory]

This app can do that.

[Mal]

Oh, right. But if I hit the button cancel.

[Rory]

And you don't, they'll never know that I tried to cancel. You just have to go do the plans. No one's the wiser, and just. You have to go do it.

[Mal]

But if you hit it, it gives me an alert that the plan is canceled.

[Rory]

If you both hit it, then we both get a notification.

[Mal]

So if we have dinner plans Thursday.

[Rory]

This is for passive aggressive.

[Mal]

No, listen. So if we have dinner plans Thursday, you say, yo, Maul, what's up? Let's go get something to eat Thursday.

[Rory]

Let's say it's attached to our calendar. I send the calendar invite.

[Mal]

Yeah, it's Tuesday. I'm like, nah, I ain't going. I hit cancel. You don't.

[Rory]

So we still go. And I don't know that you tried.

[Mal]

To cancel, but if you hit. If you hit cancel Wednesday, then you get a notification. It'll say, event is canceled. Yes, but if you don't, I have to go Thursday. I mean, but so just essentially, you'll just never know that I really didn't want to go.

[Rory]

Exactly. Unless it's, like, perfect for passive aggressive friends.

[Mal]

Okay, all right.

[Baby D]

You can see me. If I got a date, I'm a can. I'm go in there and cancel just to see if he did it. And if I get that confetti. Oh, so you didn't want to go on a fucking date with me, you fucking bitch.

[Rory]

Women will always find a way to just ruin.

[Mal]

Yeah, baby. I don't think that's what it was for. Like, you ain't have to go that way with it. Like, you could have just.

[Baby D]

No. Cause you caught.

[Mal]

Caught what?

[Rory]

I was only doing it because I felt like you didn't want to go.

[Mal]

And that's all. That's a real thing. You never. You never went through with it. And y' all both going. You'd be like, yo, for real. I ain't even want to come. I wanted to stay home. Y' all both be like, yo, why you ain't just say something? I would have stayed home. Yeah, exactly. So this is what this will do. This will give you the opportunity to be like, like. And it should be something where they, like, yo, listen. The other party responded, but you don't know what I said.

[Baby D]

Rory would. This is the thing, though. Rory would c. Rory would do that with everything he ever had to go to. He would hit cancel on the.

[Rory]

The moment the calendar invite went out. I would. It's an autoresponder, like, way auto pay is. Everything on the calendar is going to. Comes with that setting.

[Mal]

Auto cancel. I'm not going. Absolutely auto cancel. You know, like, when you eats and like, yo substitute or, like, refund I them automatic refund. Like, n. I'm not going.

[Rory]

Yeah. I have to stop, like, making plans when I'm in a, like, good mood. Like those rare times where I'm like, yeah, I'd love to have human interaction.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And then two hours passes, and I'm like, why would I ever think I was going to be in that mood?

[Baby D]

That's why I'd be like, rory, just let me know two hours before his assess. Just give me two hours, please.

[Rory]

We had fun yesterday.

[Baby D]

We did have fun.

[Rory]

Screamed at the tv.

[Baby D]

Yo. Amara kept giving him hugs because he was so upset about the Knicks.

[Mal]

So, like, oh, she's your emotional support.

[Baby D]

She kept, like, kissing him, and he'd be like, thanks.

[Mal]

Like, she was.

[Baby D]

Because we was. At one point, me and Rory didn't sit down. We were standing there. You know, you stand there looking at the TV like this.

[Mal]

You mean when they went down 20?

[Baby D]

No, when they were coming back and still up. The comeback, bro.

[Mal]

Well, when they was coming back and Brunson was still on the bench, the whole New York was like, what the. I heard. I heard it. What the. Is Tim's doing?

[Baby D]

I was the only. No, I was the only one saying, keep his ass on the bench.

[Rory]

I don't care if he's at a shitty game. He's still fucking Jalen Brunson. Get him on the floor.

[Baby D]

I get that. But he was fucking up the momentum. He was fucking up the momentum, but he delivered.

[Mal]

When he got back one on one when he's in the game, I keep telling people, teams are going to figure that out. Like, as great as Brunson is, you can't play one on one. Just want to pick and roll, pick and roll, pick and roll every possession and not think that a great defensive team like the Pacers is not going to figure that out. Yeah, they're going to figure it out, dog.

[Rory]

I mean, once we put Kat at the point he was bringing the ball up, I was like, listen, man, I'LL take anything.

[Baby D]

Roy was like, nah. Kat the point guard now, that's who.

[Mal]

Needs to play better. Kitty cat got to play a little better than kitty.

[Baby D]

Ca won game last night.

[Mal]

What are you talking about? Last night? Let's go to the first two games. Oh, it's a difference.

[Rory]

I don't. He was our Robert Ory. He was our Aaron Boone. Like, cool. He delivered when we needed him.

[Mal]

Yeah, but that's. And I hate to go into the Knicks. But that's what. That's the one thing I hate about the Knicks. It takes for a player to have 20 points in a quarter to win by six.

[Rory]

What was so funny was they showed the first half. He had four points this quarter, 16.

[Mal]

It's like, it's like, like, come on, bro. Like 16.

[Rory]

I was really. I got in my tinfoil bag when they called the first travel in NBA history on Cat. I was like, all right.

[Baby D]

Rory was like, what happened? I said, they called the travel. He said, in the NBA. Since when do they call travels in the NBA?

[Rory]

And it wasn't a travel, which is the wild. And you didn't call double dribble on game one when we lost like that. I was like, this is a conspiracy on Halliburton.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

With that magnet ball.

[Baby D]

I hate Halliburton. It's not a lot of people. I hate that.

[Mal]

I don't. Entire New York hates Halliburton right now. Everybody.

[Baby D]

He's just so cocky with it and pink lipped. I don't like him.

[Mal]

Is he. You think he's cocky?

[Rory]

He.

[Mal]

I don't think Halliburton is, like, egotistical at all. I think that's why the Pacers are so successful, because their superstar is not really egotistical.

[Rory]

He has been in this series. I've taken every shot. Every shot has been personal.

[Baby D]

His face, every single time he makes a shot, does anything. His face.

[Mal]

Well, I think that's part of the rivalry with. With Nick's paces, But I think him halberd. I don't think he's.

[Baby D]

Oh, I'm sure he's a great guy in real life. Who gives?

[Mal]

No, no, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about as on the court. I don't. I don't see ego with him. I think he knows he's good. Obviously. I think that's part of being a great M player.

[Rory]

You have to know he's phenomenal.

[Mal]

Yeah, but I'm. I don't think he's amazing. Yeah, no, he's a great player. I like his. I don't like it.

[Rory]

But there's something about his face though, right?

[Mal]

Just it's the shoulders in the jersey. It's like this. They sit up a little high. Like he still got a hanger in his jersey. So it's kind of like I hate his trot back.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Like the trot on defense is kind of like. It pisses me.

[Rory]

I don't even like. Like the confidence he instills in his own teammates.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like even being a good leader, the.

[Mal]

Way he gets others involved makes the game so easy. I just hate that.

[Rory]

You ever like go to like summer basketball camp and you can just identify the kid you're not going to get along with, like within the first hour. That that's how I feel about him. Like, I'd walk and be like, we're not going to get along. I can tell. But it's not for any good reasons. Like I could just look at him.

[Baby D]

And tell Rory hate him because he good looking Halliburton.

[Mal]

Okay?

[Baby D]

That's all. I feel like men hate him because he good looking. And well, I mean, obviously he's cooking your team too. But when you like I hate his face.

[Rory]

It's not that he's cooking the Knicks. It's like, oh, he think he cute. Like, that's what you think it is. That's what she thinks that never mind.

[Mal]

The Knicks are down too old.

[Rory]

Like the fact that he hit that shot at the buzzer to go into overtime and then come with nothing to do with it.

[Mal]

His hair is.

[Rory]

It's not because he's a new Reggie Miller. I loved Reggie because he wasn't attractive. Like, I feel like I hated Reggie.

[Baby D]

Miller that you know, they be like that thinks she all that. Like, that's what it gives.

[Rory]

Jalen Brunson's handsome.

[Mal]

I love speak to it, baby. He talking to you. He ain't talking.

[Baby D]

No, he's talking to you.

[Mal]

He not talking.

[Rory]

I'm definitely not talking tomorrow.

[Mal]

I can promise you he's not talking.

[Baby D]

Jalen Brunson, man. Greatest Nick ever.

[Rory]

Well, I agree there love him, but he got to get his together. Greatest Nick ever in my generation.

[Baby D]

Why are you listening to me? I don't listen.

[Mal]

Watch basketball because you, you know, Rory co signed that. Oh yeah, I'm not listening.

[Rory]

I caught the tail end of Patrick doing like I wasn't really there.

[Mal]

Okay.

[Rory]

It's just a young, young child.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Shout out to Josh Hart. He sacrificed himself for the greater good.

[Rory]

Yo, listen, man, you see that? What do you do if he needs mine.

[Baby D]

You see that rebound?

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

He sacrificed himself for the greater good.

[Mal]

To grab a rebound.

[Rory]

Yeah, that was a wild board. And when that knee cracked, I was like, you get that? Mine? Like, whatever it'll take for him to get up, take both my knees. Because his knees are way better than mine. Like, take both my knees, put them together just to maybe equal some. Some of your injured knee.

[Mal]

Oh, I'm happy they got that win. That was a good win last night for the Knicks. They needed that.

[Rory]

Hopefully the free throws right after Josh Hart. Cat and Josh Hart won that fourth quarter.

[Mal]

Oh, absolutely.

[Rory]

Brunson did deliver for two free throws and that one layup, but it was them.

[Mal]

They got to put my man Champagne Campaign back in the lineup, though.

[Rory]

He got busy.

[Mal]

Yeah, I got to get on my Champagne Campaign. Like, they got to. They got to let him loose, man. He come in, he don't got no fear. Whether it's game four, no strategy, game four, facing elimination. It could be game four of the season or game four and we facing elimination. Campaign is coming out there and he's letting it go. You need a nigga that ain't got no conscience sometimes. Cause sometimes the moment is what gets you playing out of your norm. So you need somebody to come in like, oh, this is eliminate. If we lose, we go home. He don't know what he's not looking at.

[Rory]

The quarter, the score. Series score is just gotta get these shots up.

[Mal]

All I know is I can see the hoop. I can make it. That's can't. You need a nigga on the floor that feel like as long as he could see the hoop, he can make. Make it. Put Champagne Campaign back in the lineup. T, you almost the pack up last night with that switch you did. Don't do that again.

[Rory]

He reminds me like when J.R. smith used to lock in, like off the tip. Junior Smith would get the ball, shoot from half court first quarter. Like, yo, I was feeling it. I was feeling it.

[Mal]

Wow. Cuz, the defense don't know what's going to happen when he's on the floor. They don't know if he getting into a pick and roll or if he going to shoot from half. You need the defense. Keep them guessing. Keep the defense guess. You got to put Champagne Campaign back in the lineup. Oh, I'm rude for him.

[Rory]

Well, game four.

[Mal]

Game four. Game four is tonight, if you're listening.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Hopefully they get this win. I think they will. The Knicks play better on the road than they do at home during the playoffs, which is absolutely crazy. But I mean, listen, man, I'm rooting for New York. A win is a win. I don't care how they get it, just bring it back to New York. At least two. We need two, two. I don't want. Don't come back. Three one. Because that's going to put too much pressure on game five at the Go Garden. Come back two, two. So the Garden could feel like, all right, we need this to go up. 3, 2. Let's get closer to this finals run. But yeah, man, happy they got game. Game three. They needed that win.

[Rory]

We need I. The first two games were so close. I think we just needed to go down 20, just get back in our LA.

[Mal]

You need to fill it. You need to, like, sometimes you got.

[Rory]

To look, I said to Maris, he said, all right, we finally. We back to the Knicks.

[Mal]

Yeah, go down 20. Got to get humble, fight back.

[Rory]

The only way we know how to win.

[Mal]

Yeah, I love it.

[Rory]

Do we have voice?

[Damaris]

You've got mail.

[Caller]

Yo, yo, what up, Roy? Mall demerits. What's going down?

[Mal]

Sound like Fat Joe.

[Caller]

Specifically, I want to hear on this. All right, now, I'm gonna have a two parter to this, so hopefully y' all can hear both of them. Long story short, I was in a relationship with a girl, had sex with a girl, thought I actually, you know, got her pregnant.

[Mal]

Swag and everything.

[Caller]

We had the kids, we had some issues, rocky relationship, decided to co parent. I haven't seen her since. The last time I actually seen the child was four years old. That was back in 2019. I don't know where they're at. I've tried looking for them. I've tried putting myself on child support. Nobody can find nobody. And I'm not like, this ain't no. I'm not on social media. So, you know, that's out of the question. People have tried finding them. But let's be real, you can make your name whatever you want to Tamara Sulfano. So my problem is, is one, I'm out here and I'm not ugly. Like, obviously nobody's actually going to call themselves ugly. Actually, I take that back. But regardless, I am attractive.

[Mal]

I'm not.

[Rory]

We're not doubting you, bro.

[Caller]

Like, you see me walking down the street, you follow me? Nah. But, like, you have a conversation with me, we talk and everything, it's always good. I just can't find a woman out here with the same values that I have. So what do you suggest I do? Damaris? I know you don't necessarily like men. All like that. But I'm definitely interested.

[Rory]

Well, as the voicemail went, I see why they left. First of all, I get it. Y. Trying to convince in audio. Trying to convince us you're attractive. Like, all right, we get it, bro. We're not saying otherwise.

[Baby D]

You get. We get it. First of all, Anastasia, find your family. Like I.

[Rory]

That's why, like, I need more details on that entire thing. All right, so for four years you were co parenting and then they just disappeared.

[Baby D]

Like, well, she probably wouldn't a real father. But my thing is.

[Mal]

Damn that one stuff. But he's not ugly.

[Baby D]

Yeah, he ain't ugly.

[Mal]

He ain't ugly. He ain't gonna turn heads in like that. But if you have a conversation with him, Rory. And you know, but then I was.

[Rory]

Thinking like, would someone follow him down the street because he was so attractive? But he cleared that up for me. Thank God. Because I was really thinking that.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I was. What did he say at the end? What? What does he need advice with?

[Mal]

I don't.

[Baby D]

He said okay, but he wanted to let me know on audio and because as a kid, he don't know where they at.

[Rory]

All these don't have morals. They're not up to his speed, how attractive he is or like how amazing he is. So like, what should he do?

[Baby D]

You might want to get on social media. You might want to. I'm serious. You might want to get on social media, find your family, find your next wife. But social media will help.

[Rory]

You can't talk all this, how amazing you are and you can't date. You misplaced your family. Family. Like how you lose. Like, he lost his keys. Like, where's my family at? How you would lose your family.

[Mal]

Wait, that was like his. His kid over.

[Baby D]

That was his girl and his kid.

[Rory]

He said he got the girl pregnant. She ended up keeping it. They co parented for four years. I'm right so far. And then they just disappeared. Can't find him.

[Mal]

Are they okay?

[Baby D]

Like, I don't know. I don't.

[Rory]

And are you leaving out like, I don't put this on his jacket. But are we leaving out like a key point? Is this like the plot to answer.

[Mal]

Enough like you yo. For your girl to pack up and leave with her kid and not you don't know where they at. You a piece of bro.

[Rory]

Let's just be say I want to put on his jacket. That doesn't really track. They don't just disappear.

[Mal]

Yeah. What woman is leaving her baby? Father, her boyfriend. If. If he's not like, I'm just talking about pack up. He don't even know where y' all are at. Leave. Like that means something. Like she was. She's getting away from something.

[Rory]

She's.

[Mal]

No, she's running away from something.

[Baby D]

That's why I say either he not the father or he is. And she don't want him to be one or the other.

[Rory]

You don't after. And it's not even like, all right, they just had the baby and like can't figure out the co parenting. She's like, it's probably better if I just did four years in. Like, that's wild to just up and leave. Cuz even your child at 4 is going to have some questions like, mommy, what the are we doing right now?

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mal]

Yeah. That's wild. Yeah. You got a. Is it a two parter? Yeah. Does he, does he give us like an update in the second part? Let's get into it.

[Rory]

So I found him.

[Caller]

The other part of the story is I was in a relationship for 10 years. Two years in, we end up having a.

[Mal]

A child.

[Caller]

I raised a child. Actually, let me rephrase that. She came three months early. So I watched her grow in the incubator and everything. Like it was major. I was coming in every day to see her, you know, watching her in the incubator, doing chest to chest, it was a major thing. By the time she was four, the mother just disappeared with her. I've tried looking for her multiple times. I was online at one point, couldn't find her. I'm not online anymore.

[Baby D]

That's the same.

[Rory]

It's different though. It is.

[Mal]

Second part, he's updating, he's saying the.

[Rory]

Same things, but it is a different voicemail. It's not the same one.

[Mal]

It's the same person.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mal]

But not the same voicemail.

[Baby D]

Go ahead.

[Rory]

Fine. Keep it.

[Caller]

Like, I have no socials at all. You cannot find me on social media. By no means. And I mean I, I like that for real, because social media, me, you know, a lot of things up, which, you know, kind of goes right along with the first message. Voicemail. I left y' all or left the mayor specifically. But I just trying to figure out like, one, how do you get over something of not knowing whether a kid's yours or not? And two, how do I get back out here when all these girls out here or women just in general have played the out of me and all of them have had kids on me? And nobody's truthful. It ain't just me and it ain't just the Women I'm picking.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Mal]

I've never been through that.

[Rory]

Like, no, but literally, Literally. It ain't just me and the women I picked. That's exactly. It's both sides.

[Mal]

Yes, exactly. Anyway, I'm a specific type of woman that will have a kid on a guy and not tell a guy that would just disappear. Like that consistently happens, bro. It's. It's the women you're picking at four years old too.

[Rory]

Did I understand that right? He was in a. This was a separate 10 year relationship and then he had the kid with them and then they left or something.

[Baby D]

No, it's just. That's the same.

[Rory]

So what did the 10 year relationship. That was like a side chicken or something.

[Baby D]

It's the same thing. That's why I'm saying, like they were.

[Mal]

Together 10 years, they had a kid two years in. Right.

[Baby D]

To the relationship or something like that.

[Rory]

Yo, this is Remy Ma and Foxy Math. I'm so confused right now.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Wait, you're confused? I'm confused. Rude. Sorry. But yeah.

[Rory]

No, but wasn't the first voicemail like they weren't together? Like he just splashed her and she.

[Baby D]

No, that was. No.

[Rory]

So was it 10 year relationship?

[Mal]

Relationship.

[Baby D]

This is the way two women both left him when the kid was 4 years old. So that has to be the same relationship, same kid.

[Mal]

Yeah. If two women left you after they had kids on you on the side, that's like. Remember the dude that told us in the. At the house party, he was like, Yeah, I made 27 girls squirt. I looked at that like he was a unicorn. I was like, what? He said, damaris? He said, in a room full of women, I made 27 women squirt.

[Baby D]

Wait, who said that?

[Mal]

This dude that was at a house to house party one night.

[Rory]

You remember most.

[Mal]

You know what they made him do?

[Baby D]

What they do?

[Mal]

They made him pull his dick out. Facts.

[Baby D]

What it looked like Damaris.

[Mal]

I will slap the shit out Damaris. Don't play with me, Damaris. Do not play with me. No, no, don't try to laugh. Do not.

[Rory]

Worked on her too.

[Mal]

Don't play with me. The guys left the room.

[Baby D]

What did they tell you it looked like?

[Mal]

They didn't say. We didn't. They didn't. We didn't ask.

[Rory]

You didn't. You didn't inquire.

[Mal]

Yeah, I know that when we came back in the room, like, women didn't look impressed. They was all sitting there like, this.

[Baby D]

Nigga lying, but it beat up never. You know, I got into that with y' all because.

[Mal]

I don't know. I just know that a nigga saying that made 27 women squirt in a room full of women is absolutely.

[Rory]

You pair me with the right size that make.

[Baby D]

That make women, it'd be.

[Rory]

If I got a teammate I could get. Yeah. I'm putting up 27 with the rose.

[Mal]

Back to this. Back to this gentleman.

[Rory]

It's got to be the rose, though. It's just me.

[Mal]

It's got to be the rose, sir. I don't know what's going. Where is he from?

[Baby D]

I don't know.

[Rory]

I don't want to know.

[Baby D]

He got a lot going on.

[Mal]

Yeah. I don't know, dog. Like, I think you might need to call in live so we can kick it with you, because it's a lot going on.

[Rory]

Like, I agree with that.

[Mal]

Can he call in live? Like, hit the dm. You know what I'm saying? Leave your number. Let us know that it's you that called that. You know, the. The girl left when she had the kid. You can't find him. We going. We going to talk to you in real time and try to get, like, to the bottom of this because I do want to help you in some way. Like, I'm not even being funny. I do want to help him find this woman and this baby just for some type of closure because that has to fuck with your mental at some point.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, check the census. There's no way your family would leave and you wouldn't be to able to find them unless. Unless you did some wild and a program took them and put them somewhere else and purposely can't find.

[Mal]

We need more. This is not how.

[Baby D]

How she left him.

[Mal]

That's 3,000. Says 16 ain't enough. 16 is not enough here, sir. This voicemail is not enough. We got to call you real time and really break this.

[Rory]

Like, I would dedicate a Patreon episode to putting him on Zoom.

[Baby D]

And like, if he said, okay, so outside of his, he will be the.

[Mal]

First guest on the Patreon Zoom Zoom Room. Have him on the Zoom Zoom Room. Let's have him on the Zoom Room.

[Rory]

That's a brilliant name.

[Mal]

Yeah. Let's have him on the Zoom Zoom Room. Let's get him on a new platform because I want to look this gentleman in the face.

[Rory]

I mean, I actually think Boost Mobile now owns Zoom Zoom Room.

[Mal]

Boost. Thank you.

[Baby D]

So as far as him getting back out there, let's say he's not a terrible person at. Let's say that he's not.

[Rory]

Nobody's leaving unless you're a terrible person.

[Mal]

That's the part you're missing. He got to be hard, horrible, the marriage. To pack up and take your child and never speak to the. The child's father. Like you said, either it's not his or he's just a piece of. It's.

[Baby D]

One of them said that women are having babies on him, so obviously it's not his.

[Rory]

That's.

[Baby D]

So she probably went back to the. The baby father.

[Mal]

Yeah, but still no closure, no nothing. No, that's ice cold. That's crazy.

[Baby D]

I mean, women can be very cold sometimes when they're trying to avoid a situation. Like I'll, you know, I'll take accountability for that. You don't found somebody like, you know, you found somebody else. You getting back with the child's father, you don't want to explain to the other one. What I'm getting is that they don't more than they don't like you, they don't respect you. So you are not garnering respect from the women that you're dating. That's why they feel so comfortable cheating on you. I know some people, they be like, oh, a woman is a cheater, is a cheater. No, there's women who, there's some people they'll cheat on and some people they won't. So if you, if she knows she can cheat on you and stay, she's going to, she's going to do that. So it's not just about picking more women. It's about respecting yourself enough to leave and carrying yourself with respect. That a woman knows she can't play in your face if you give Food, nigga, if you give. I could spend this nigga money. I know he gonna take care of me, he gonna take care of my kid and I could do whatever to him and he's not gonna leave me, then that's what's gonna happen. So you need to have more self respect for yourself. And sometimes men take that and they go too far and start becoming assholes. And you don't gotta do that, but just hold yourself in a higher esteem. Like you, that nigga, become that nigga. Act like that nigga. Carry yourself like that nigga, and then women will treat you like you.

[Rory]

That nigga, he just told us how attractive he was.

[Mal]

Yeah, or you gotta do what Silly toe Harpo.

[Baby D]

No, you do not. And we do not advocate for violence against women.

[Rory]

Couldn't even find it.

[Mal]

It's a great movie, Baby D. That's what I'm saying.

[Rory]

I'm calling Cap. Four year. All right, I still don't understand the ten year relationship part. With four years of co parenting a child, you didn't meet one family member or one friend. Not one. Not one person you could ask from her side like, yo, they're gone. Not one yo. But I'm calling. I know a lot of people not cool with their families. There's no way. There's nothing, not one single person that didn't show up to your child's birthday for four years that you could be like, yo, where the did they go?

[Mal]

No, Rory, you missing the deeper part of that. He said he was going to the hospital. While the baby was in the incubator doing chest to chest, they put the baby that's not his, bro. That happens.

[Rory]

First of all, skin to skin is like even like without premature births. That's a thing. So that's happened to fathers when they realize they're wasn't theirs. You doing skin to skin immediately? Yeah.

[Mal]

That is crazy for a woman to. As a woman, you supposed to be 100% sure that this is his baby before he take off his shirt in the delivery room and start doing.

[Rory]

I'm sure every father. What are we talking about that was there for a birth that it ended up not being theirs. Did skin to skin. I mean the, the process is right to the mother, then they clean the baby off and then it goes right to the dad for skin again.

[Mal]

That is crazy. And that's naughty is.

[Rory]

But that, I mean that's a standard.

[Mal]

Watching a baby grow in an incubator that's not yours and then the woman just leave one.

[Rory]

I'm the one that's going to disappear in four years, not them.

[Mal]

What I'm saying, like yo, he got. He's the first. He's the first guest on the Zoom Zoom Room for sure.

[Rory]

How can we. Oh, his email's right there.

[Mal]

Email him, Josh. Tell him that we want him on the Zoom Zoom Room and we got to make it happen on Patreon, man. Got to.

[Rory]

And oh God, I hope it doesn't turn out to be like a piece of.

[Baby D]

And you better not be ugly, cuz if you are, I'mma tell you. Since you just had to tell us how cute you are.

[Mal]

Tell him to his face, bro.

[Baby D]

Baby D, we gonna face him.

[Rory]

This is what I think's gonna happen. We're gonna give him a zoom link and he's gonna keep his camera off.

[Mal]

No, we not doing that.

[Rory]

You can't talk all that and then.

[Mal]

No, we not doing that.

[Rory]

This Is what's the hottest identity.

[Mal]

He doesn't have social media that good. So nobody's gonna be able to reach out to him after that. Whether he's ugly. Is not nobody gonna be able to tell him he's ugly?

[Baby D]

Do you think not having social media is a red flag? I recently. Someone recently.

[Mal]

I think that's the greatest of all flags.

[Baby D]

They don't have an idea.

[Mal]

G. Love it.

[Rory]

I can see it being a red flag. Like, why is it a red flag initially? Just initially. Because I think in women's case, they'd be like, oh, he's probably married, or, like, trying to hide something. But once if you do your research and he's just a guy that doesn't. With social media, it's. I think it's an immediate green flag. But you can see how that would be a red flag out the gate. Because I'm sure there's plenty of, like, married men that meet women are like, oh, I don't have a Facebook.

[Mal]

No, women have. I've met. Told me they don't have Instagram, they don't have Twitter. And I wasn't.

[Rory]

Where do they hide those red flag.

[Mal]

Oh, red flag. She's married then. That wasn't a thought.

[Baby D]

Well, that's.

[Rory]

No, I'm saying as a woman switching.

[Baby D]

It's a thought. Men be married as. Or gay married or gay.

[Mal]

Women be having babies on the side.

[Rory]

Yeah, but like, you'd see that they were pregnant.

[Mal]

Yeah, yeah, but I mean, if men.

[Rory]

Could have a baby on the side, you wouldn't know.

[Mal]

Like this gentleman, he's with a girl. He thought that was his kid. It's not.

[Baby D]

Why would you say it like.

[Mal]

I'm just saying it's not. It's not his. So what's worse? The fact baby not being yours or her not having Instagram?

[Rory]

And even the fact. The way he's saying it so calm, like, he must know that kid's not his. That's why I think he's so cool about this entire thing.

[Baby D]

Yeah. If that.

[Rory]

If he thought it was. If he thought that. That this was his child, he would not be calling in. He would be on Route 80 right now just trying to find any spot that they could have went to.

[Mal]

Ah, figured it out. He's using this as his alibi. He killed.

[Rory]

Killed her.

[Mal]

Oh.

[Rory]

He killed her whole case.

[Mal]

The baby isn't his. So he didn't care. He killed the baby.

[Rory]

Oh, well, now we're getting dark. Keep it.

[Mal]

I'm just saying this.

[Rory]

These are real people, by the way.

[Mal]

This feels like we're going to be on a Netflix documentary in two years Book. He's using us as his alibi. Like Leah, look, I went on my favorite podcast of voicemail. Don't know where they're at. He's trying to tie us into his alibi.

[Rory]

Okay, well if that is the case, if this gentleman is listening, I promise you all footage will be given over to the feds. We will not protect you. They can have the raw footage. They can have everything. We will fully cooperate. However the federal government wants to send.

[Mal]

This guy to the can.

[Baby D]

I can't wait to.

[Mal]

It was him.

[Rory]

I can assure you we will not help you in this situation.

[Mal]

With that picture of me and Leonardo.

[Baby D]

Man, that was so funny.

[Mal]

You man, whoever that was.

[Rory]

Hey, I thought about making that our abbey on socials.

[Mal]

It was up.

[Rory]

That was funny.

[Mal]

That was funny.

[Rory]

All right, well yeah, that was wild. I'm excited for this follow up.

[Mal]

Yeah, please email this guy and let's get him in the zoom zoom room, man. Let's get to the bottom of this.

[Rory]

Malarkey if in fact it is his kid. And like N cuz I'm calling the police too. Like he left out. That makes no sense. You would definitely talk to one of her friends or family. You, you'd call the police even if that wasn't your kid. You'd be like, yo, there was a four year old child and a woman here and now everything's gone. Like what if something did happen to them, right? Like that's why I'm calling Cap on a lot of this that he's leaving something huge out that he knows is why they left. Because there's no way you're 40 year old kid and your girl or co parent just leave.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And you don't call the police.

[Mal]

It's wild times man.

[Rory]

We're gonna figure it cuz like what if something did actually happen to them? He just, he just cool trying to find the new girl. He's like, oh, they gone. Let me go try to date again.

[Mal]

Yeah, we gonna find out. We're gonna talk to him. We definitely gonna kick with him before we get out of here. New merch is available now. I'm wearing one of the pieces.

[Baby D]

Oh, you look good in it.

[Mal]

This is very soft, baby D against the skin. Soft is yes mki.

[Rory]

No you could raw dog under that. Like you don't even need a T.

[Mal]

Shirt or I'm butt naked under the.

[Rory]

Merch under your clothes. Really? No idea.

[Mal]

Merch available now. It is selling so hurry up and get some before it's gone. Don't ask us when we are restocking.

[Rory]

Yeah. This is so fire. Like, it's a capsule. It's not even merch. It's a capsule, Right?

[Baby D]

Yeah. I went and looked at the sales. I hit better. Like, can you send me my before it's sold out, please?

[Mal]

Yeah, just good merch. That's all it is. Wear our merch merchants to wear.

[Rory]

Absolutely.

[Mal]

All right, well, we'll talk to y' all soon. Happy Memorial Day. Day. Hopefully, everybody is blessed, everybody is safe. This only means one thing. If you're living in New York City, it's time to hear fireworks every night until Christmas.

[Rory]

Yep.

[Mal]

This is that time of year. Just got to deal with it. The dogs will be under the bed shaking like a leaf.

[Rory]

And. Like, they was doing that when they were illegal.

[Mal]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You go to Jersey City right now and buy everything you want legally.

[Mal]

Jersey. You go to bodega. Go right in the back, right behind the chips.

[Rory]

I'm saying legally, you can buy all this now. Yeah, it's.

[Mal]

We're. All right. Well, we'll talk to y' all soon. Be safe, be blessed. I'm. That. He's just Ginger. Peace.

[Baby D]

No worrying now, okay?

[Damaris]

Have you heard about this? Last year, degree Changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back. And ° listen, that doesn't happen often. They admitted that they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp, and fresh. There's a reason it's the number one man's antiperspirant. And it's back in Walmart, Target, and other stores for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local stores to try the OG cool rush for yourself.

[Rory]

You're listening to an iHeart podcast.
