Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Netflix Era Begins

[03:00–04:10]

• The crew celebrates and teases their Netflix debut, donning all-red attire ("Netflix red") and joking about how fans will need to get big TVs just to watch them in style.
• Baby D and Damaris joke about their upcoming visual prowess and how their presence deserves to be watched on a 70-inch TV.
• They confirm nothing will change for audio listeners and that clips will still be on YouTube, but full episodes will be exclusive to Netflix.
• "All you have to do is open your Netflix app... or type in New Rory & Mal. We'll put the link up on socials." – Baby D [03:39]

2. Jars for Celebrity Name-Dropping

[07:23–08:15]

• The team riffs on the idea of starting "jars" (like swear jars) for how often the names Drake, J. Cole, or Jay Z get mentioned—and the infamous "butt jar" for when Rory prefaces criticism with a compliment.
• Rory: “We might need a J. Cole jar.” [07:35]
• Damaris suggests there should be a jar for Rory always saying, “Don’t kill me, I like this person but…” before criticizing someone.
• “They’re going to cut out everything before the ‘but.’ So say whatever the fuck you want to say. We on Netflix now.” – Damaris [08:32]

3. J. Cole Mixtape Rumors and Drake/Cole Double Standards

[09:31–16:01]

• The team dives into hip-hop rumors: JadaKiss hinted J. Cole has a mixtape coming, possibly on his birthday (January 28), before the album drops.
• They debate if J. Cole is held to a different standard compared to Drake, with Rory arguing Cole gets called “noble” for backing out of battles, while Drake would be crucified.
• “If the roles were reversed, it would be completely different... If Drake wanted to back out for mental health reasons, you’d be calling him pussy.” – Baby D [14:16]
• Damaris insists Cole gets just as much hate, but the narrative eventually fades: "People just want music." [15:31]
• Rory clarifies he just wants to hear all rappers rap, regardless of drama: “I’m always on the side of hearing rappers rap and not podcast.” [16:20]

4. Cam’ron’s “Letter to Dame” – Maturity or Petty?

[16:38–21:35]

• The pod discusses Cam’ron’s track addressing Damon Dash. Baby D interprets it as Cam being both mature and artfully provocative, giving Dame a chance to settle the beef or escalate it.
• Rory notes, “Cam with his bars... it kind of was disappointing to get to this place.” [18:26]
• Baby D: “Cam played that so perfectly that it wasn’t like, ‘yo, everything’s cool’... This was Art of War shit.” [17:14]
• They reflect on Dame’s legacy in the business, Dame’s brilliance but emotional approach, and whether they’d have him on the show (Rory: “it would have to be off mic first – that’s family stuff”).[20:28]

5. Bowling, Dating, and Relationship Games

[21:45–36:59]

• A hilariously extended segment on professional bowling, what constitutes a “good athlete,” and how bowling became a staple cheap date in their twenties.
• Baby D trashes pro bowlers (“the most trash athletes on the planet”) and compares them to pool sharks.
• Damaris admits bowling is a “broke boy’s” early date, and many women only tolerate it – “First three dates should not be bowling.” [31:30]
• Flirty banter about games on dates (“if I beat you at Connect 4, I get that tonight”) and adult game negotiations.
• Rory: “Take a girl bowling, then treat her like a bowling ball.” [25:47] (classic podcast-level wildness)

6. Spicy Relationship Takes & Petty Gender Wars

[36:06–49:17]

• Confessional talk on sending “nut videos,” the games women play with men’s risky texts, and how post-nut clarity can be “the most shameful you’ll ever feel.” [35:54]
• Damaris admits to occasionally leaving men “on read” after requesting explicit content just to mess with them: “That’s evil.” [36:15]
• A lively debate over kissing, public displays of affection, and whether your style of kissing reveals how much you really like someone.
  • “She told me, ‘I can tell by the way you kissed me you don’t really like me.’” – Rory [37:12]
  • “You gotta make me woozy, you gotta make me lightheaded to get you home.” – Damaris [39:18]
• Social dynamics of “curse-out voicemails,” relationship drama, and therapy for “situationships.”

7. Sports Recap: NFL Playoffs & Bet Segment (“Spread ‘Em”)

[51:54–57:47]

• Baby D and Rory break down NFL playoff bets: Patriots vs Broncos, Rams vs Seahawks.
• Baby D predicts, “I think we may have some miracle in Mile High,” and switches his pick to Broncos [53:34], while Rory sticks with Patriots to cover the spread.
• Podcast running bet: With their win-lose record, the loser must name a thousand rappers, and Damaris must eat 30 mozzarella sticks in one sitting [57:21].
