New Rory & MAL — Episode 452 | Run A Train

Released: February 6, 2026
Hosts: Rory, Maul, Baby D (Damaris)

---

Episode Overview

This high-energy episode revolves around the immense anticipation for J. Cole’s forthcoming album "The Fall Off," dropping at midnight. The squad celebrates "Fall Off Eve" by imagining possible reactions—both over-the-top positive and highly critical—before actually hearing the album. The show is packed with witty banter on hip hop hype, double albums, music consumption habits, social media, basketball, relationship dynamics, and their famously competitive group challenge “Spread’Em.” True to the New Rory & Mal style, the episode blends music nerdery, playful roasting, and honest fan anxieties.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. “Fall Off Eve”—Anticipating J. Cole’s Album (02:38–29:57)

    (Rory, 06:10)

    (Rory, Baby D, 07:47–08:06)

Yes. We are recording this on February 5, 2526, Thursday, February 5. In a few hours, the entire world will shift. Hip hop will change what is the same. Hip hop will change from the paradigm.

[Maul]

Hip hop will be one way paradigm. The paradigm.

[Rory]

And then after midnight, hip hop will be a completely different genre and will.

[Maul]

Hip hop will be restored. As of midnight, real hip hop is back. Yes. The moment we waited for. Baby dear's here. How you feeling? You look good.

[Baby D]

[Maul]

You look good. You wanna stand up for the camera today or.

[Baby D]

No, no, I'm okay.

[Maul]

Okay. All right.

[Baby D]

I do have.

[Maul]

Fellas, I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried.

[Baby D]

I do have the sample pants that you gave me on. Nobody responded to me in the group chat when I was like, yo, nah, these the ones. My ass look fat in them.

[Rory]

Like you sent a photo.

[Maul]

Yeah, but when you sent that, I was fresh out the shower. That wasn't the time to respond to that.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Maul]

Yeah. Like, I had my manhood in my towel. You know what I'm saying? It just wasn't. It just wasn't the right time, Baby D. But I read what you said.

[Rory]

Tucked in your towel.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah. It just wasn't the right time to respond what you said. I read what you said. Yes.

[Rory]

It's good to know. So when those sweats finally drop, you'll. You'll know that they fit women ladies very well.

[Maul]

When our new sweatsuits drop on Valentine's Day, your ass will look like Baby D's in the sweats.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Just so you know, I don't know about all that. You know, when they say the model, the model is wearing and they put the size. We're gonna put you on there and say Baby D is wearing a medium.

[Rory]

Or just tweet mall and he can guess your weight and tell you what size.

[Maul]

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? There you go.

[Baby D]

Ow.

[Maul]

You gotta sagging them a little bit. Spin for the win.

[Rory]

Oh, it's sitting.

[Maul]

Oh, I know how that look when it's fresh out the shower, when it's walking away. Baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[Baby D]

Like I literally was telling the other day, I said, nobody's ever gonna marry me because mall tell me to jump and I'll be like, how high? He say, spin. Do a360 do a flip, and there I go doing it.

[Maul]

I mean, but they know. They. They know our relationship. They know it's all love. But, yes, it is the eve of one of the most anticipated albums of all time. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty hot there. Yeah, it's pretty hot there. It kind of sounds crazy when you hear it, but it is one of the most anticipated albums probably in hip hop history. So how are we feeling? Are we gonna. Can we have fun with this episode? Can we speak as if we heard the album and we either hate it or we like it? Like, let's give it if we love it and let's give if we hate it. This is the love hate. This is like I'll speak a box love below.

[Rory]

And to be clear, it is February 5th. We have not heard this album.

[Maul]

We have not heard the album as we're recording. We're just guessing. We're just shooting the shit. We're having fun. E.B. i love you, man. Shout out to everybody over there, J. Cole, I love you, too. Even though you think I hate you, I hate what you did, but I still got love for you.

[Rory]

And salute Felton. I saw that. They salute Felton. We had asked how they cleared this entire back cover and how, like, long that would take. Felton cleared every single one of those magazine covers with every single artist.

[Maul]

Fire.

[Rory]

Yeah, congrats. He's a creative director at Dringo. Shout out to Felton, friend of the show.

[Maul]

Shout out to Willis, your barber.

[Rory]

I'm sure J. Cole has a fresh lineup today.

[Maul]

I'm sure he does. I'm sure he got his beard everything cleaned up for 262 6, but right now it is 25, 26. So let's start with love. Let's speak as if we've heard the Fall Off. We absolutely love it. We can't turn it off all weekend, even while the super bowl is on. We got the TV on mute and the Fall off is playing as Drake May goes all the way.

[Rory]

I mean, I feel like it's above Life After Death analyzing me. I think it's the greatest double disc.

[Maul]

In the first listen.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

So, all right. This is your first listen in first. All right. Give it to me, Roy.

[Rory]

Greatest double disc of all.

[Maul]

The first listen of the Fall Off. How are you feeling, Rory?

[Rory]

Greatest double disc that's ever existed ever.

[Maul]

That's what you're rolling with?

[Rory]

I think we need to have a new conversation now. Where, I don't know, is Cole better than Hovindas? Can we have that conversation now?

[Maul]

29 intro. One of the greatest intros ever to an album.

[Rory]

I thought that went without saying. The only thing that rivals 29 intro is 39 intro.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Rory]

How you get the two greatest intros in hip hop history on one album?

[Maul]

Okay.

[Baby D]

I cried when I heard the Villas. When I heard the Villas.

[Maul]

I just cried the Villas. I love speaking from this perspective. So you feel like the Villas.

[Rory]

So you cried when I cried when.

[Baby D]

I heard the Villas and when I heard I love her again. I love her again in the what if?

[Rory]

Who'd you text after I love her again?

[Baby D]

You. I text you. That's why.

[Maul]

Text I love her again. That's. That's the love song. That feels like the. That feels like a love. Yours.

[Rory]

I can't. No, I can't believe that. He kind of like, you know, he gave us the concept with the Nas rewind shit for the. For the first record. I can't believe he. He gave us the Common I used to love her flip on this one.

[Baby D]

I knew I was. I was about to say that when he said I love her again. He talking about hip hop.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Oh, the fall off. He fell out of love.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I love her again. He's back. He's more. He's inspired again. He's in love again. Oh, shit.

[Baby D]

Greatness. Great. You witnessing greatness in real time. How you feel in all 50 years of your life? You ain't witnessed greatness like this.

[Maul]

Who's 50? Oh, oh, my bad.

[Baby D]

I was rounding up.

[Maul]

Who's. Don't round up. Cause you can't even if you round up. I ain't 50. I'm 44 round. You gotta go down to 40.

[Baby D]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[Maul]

Yeah, I. 50 in your 50 years.

[Rory]

I mean, I think it goes without saying that it is better than life after death. Analyze on me. I'm going to go as far as saying it may be better than the Beatles White album as far as double discs.

[Baby D]

I mean, I haven't heard it. And I still believe that. You being facetious. I still believe that. Why keep uplifting white people during Black History Month? That shit irritating me.

[Maul]

Well, I mean, J. Cole is half white as well, so, I mean, we got to give some of that in there, right?

[Baby D]

Do we?

[Maul]

Yeah, I mean, we have to.

[Rory]

I'm sure his mother loved the White album.

[Maul]

Yeah, I'm sure it was one of my faves. I'm sure it was one of J. Cole's soundtrack. Yeah, he definitely has heard that soundtrack since his childhood, for sure. Yeah. I think what he did with 29 intro is amazing. I think this is the cold we wanted to see during the battle. The cold we anticipated. Right. They went crazy on 29 intro 2 6. He showed us why, you know, he's, you know, the 2:6. God. You know what I'm saying? I mean, yeah, man. I just think what he did with this is incredible. Incredible high level rapping. The production is amazing. Shout out to T minus did an amazing job with this.

[Rory]

Is.

[Maul]

Is the.

[Rory]

Is the clock on for Drake and Kendrick to reply to Lonely at the Top? Feel like the clock. I feel like right now they should already have put something.

[Baby D]

Couldn't help yourself.

[Maul]

You know what's going to be crazy? She gonna come out and have nothing to do with it.

[Rory]

Oh, no. Everything we're saying right now is 1000% probably not gonna be correct.

[Maul]

I can't wait.

[Rory]

Cabillus is gonna be a banger. Like nothing.

[Baby D]

Just.

[Maul]

Yeah, the Villis. Instead of the illest, the realest. The Villis.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Rory]

But no, I mean, I think it was. I think Run a Train was a really good followup to his virginity song Wet Dreams. I feel like once you lose your virginity, you got to run a train, run trains. It's so crazy how he captured the beauty of running a train. Only Cole could take such a filthy act and make it seem so beautiful.

[Baby D]

Y' all think when people be Eiffel towering and they, like, hold hands like they palms be sweating.

[Maul]

I think they're gay. I think if you touch another man while he's naked, you're gay. I don't care how you touch that, man. You're gay.

[Rory]

No pushback. You know my stance on trains. No push back.

[Maul]

Run a train.

[Rory]

I want to be naked with you, man. I'm sorry.

[Maul]

I can't wait to hear. I might go straight to Run a Train. I gotta just hear, like, with the concept, like, what you on with this Run a Train? We've never seen a title like that.

[Rory]

Nah, it's going to be like him on the F train, going to the city, running. Running down hillsides of the train.

[Maul]

No.

[Rory]

Oh.

[Maul]

Or is it Run A the A train. The A goes Conductor.

[Baby D]

Yo, this Peach.

[Maul]

Peach.

[Rory]

Nah, Peach is right. If conductor didn't produce Run A Train, I'm gonna be tight.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. That better be a conductor. We better hit conduct on Run A Train. We better hear that.

[Rory]

And. And there was rumors. I think there was a photo or something that was on Twitter. We know for a fact conductor was in North Carolina at some point.

[Maul]

Yes.

[Rory]

And I don't think it was to work with Petey Pablo. Okay, so I think we can comfortably say that Conductor is probably on.

[Baby D]

On.

[Maul]

That's a fair. That's a fair assessment.

[Rory]

And if you think about it, like, is Cole kind of biting us because we just had Conductor do our intro for the pod?

[Maul]

I think so.

[Baby D]

I feel like that we the first people to ever use Conductor.

[Maul]

We the first ones to have a conductor beat.

[Rory]

Cole's wrapped on Conductor beats.

[Maul]

Like, in my story. We the first ones. I don't give a fuck.

[Rory]

But, yeah, I think it's. I think we can now safely say that J. Cole was the greatest rapper of all.

[Maul]

I think DISS 39 is better than DIS 29. That's just how I'm feeling.

[Baby D]

That's how you feeling?

[Maul]

That's how I'm feeling. Okay. I mean, I feel like diss39 got more replay value.

[Rory]

You had said yesterday that you weren't really sure if any of the raps were really going to stick with you. Was this Talib Kweli lyrics stick to your rib type type material.

[Maul]

You got it right. The hooks are strong. The production is strong.

[Rory]

Beats did it.

[Maul]

The beats did it. Your hooks did it. Your lyrics didn't. N. Yeah, I feel like all that. I feel like the hooks is strong. I feel like that was the one spot for me where I always felt like Cole's struggle was making hooks. But I think that he got it right on diss39. I think he did what he was supposed to do with this one. It sounds good. I like it.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I like this disc better than disc 29.

[Rory]

I mean, were you shocked by all the A list features?

[Maul]

Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? Where did he find LL Listen, yo.

[Baby D]

All right, all right.

[Maul]

Yo, y' all didn't see the Queen connection there? All right, My bad.

[Rory]

When Dragon came on. On Let It Out.

[Maul]

Oh, my God.

[Rory]

I was like Dragon. Oh, my God.

[Maul]

With the Swiss production.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Come on, man. Come on.

[Rory]

Where did Cole find J.

[Maul]

Hood? Oh, my God, man.

[Rory]

My bad. J.

[Sponsor/Ad Voice]

Hood.

[Rory]

I didn't mean. I didn't mean nothing about that.

[Baby D]

Yo, we gotta redo this episode at.

[Maul]

2Am let's redo episode at 2am yo, you heard Rory. Where did he find J. Hood? Yo, what's that be? Where did you find this one?

[Rory]

Damn, son. Damn, son.

[Maul]

Where did you find this one?

[Rory]

I. I am. I am happy that. That Cole did address everything with Camron. And it was good. It was good to hear Cam give a little snippet on the record just to show that everything's cool and that the interview is on its way.

[Maul]

Yes.

[Rory]

So I'm happy they.

[Maul]

They're not really in court. That was all promo for the song.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I like it. I like it, man. I'm really enjoying this album. I think it's a classic. I ain't gonna lie. One weekend in, one week in living with it, I feel like it's a classic. Absolute classic. Shout out to the team. They did. They were supposed to do Baby D. Finally. Joe Col. Everything I ever said about J. Cole, I'm sorry. I apologize. I was wrong.

[Baby D]

I know.

[Maul]

Like, you know, just great music. I'm just happy that he gave us a great album.

[Rory]

Yeah. We were talking off mic after you heard this album. You quietly said, yo, I would have apologized at Dream Build, too. I didn't even see the strategy.

[Maul]

Yeah, it made sense. Now it all makes sense. I see why he apologized. Cause he knew what he was about to do to the game.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Maul]

You know, he knew he was about to fuck the game up with this one.

[Baby D]

Sometimes you got to lose the battle to win the war.

[Maul]

That's a fact. She said something right there. Sometimes you got to say, you know what? Let me save y' all from your demise, because y' all don't know what's about to happen.

[Rory]

Demise fall off.

[Maul]

It's just. Come on now. Demise is the fall off in French. That's all.

[Baby D]

Hey, hey, dog.

[Rory]

It wasn't J. Cole born in France?

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Rory]

No.

[Maul]

Germany. He's an army baby, right? Isn't he an army bro?

[Rory]

I think he was really born in, like, Germany.

[Maul]

Oh, my God.

[Rory]

Finally, we got our proper. Just Blaze and J. Cole collab.

[Maul]

Finally. Finally.

[Rory]

Good to hear. Just again. And, I mean, you guys, tell me, did he make up for Mr. Nice Watch?

[Maul]

He did. You was right. The J version is incredible.

[Rory]

Yeah. On inevitable, it's. It was inevitable.

[Maul]

It was inevitable that this was the way they would come back and work together. This was it. How do we miss this? The other day, when we're going through the track list, it was right here in front of our eyes the whole time.

[Rory]

See, that's why you're not a real J. Cole fan. Everything go over your head. Us real Cole fans, y' all know I know everything.

[Maul]

You gotta teach me your ways, Rory. Just teach me your ways, bro. Just teach me your ways, man.

[Baby D]

Is anybody else dropping tonight other than lma? LMA is dropping Shout out to lma.

[Rory]

I saw that Lil Baby was doing a remix. I would just not. I just. I'd hold all my Shit.

[Maul]

Yeah. Nobody else should be dropping, like, get out the way of Cole. This was like Taylor Swift dropping get out the way. Let Cole have this week. Let him do what he does. And then next week, we get back to the, you know, the regular schedule. Programming.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And, I mean, we were gonna keep this secret. Cause, you know, we try to hold private shit down to some degree. But it was really cool to watch Maul and Cole chop it up at the release party last night. It was really good for y' all to have that moment. Y' all took a flick.

[Maul]

It was just misunderstanding.

[Rory]

Yeah. Y' all did the dap flick, like, where you guys are in mid depth.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

For it. So that was. That was good to see. Yeah, man. You know, because when the city's beefing, like.

[Maul]

Yeah. Nobody know. Everybody.

[Rory]

We all suffer.

[Maul]

Yeah. We all lose sleep. We all lose sleep. None of us can sleep when we beefing. So, you know, I just.

[Rory]

None of us can sleep.

[Maul]

I know. I just had to let Cole know it wasn't personal. You know what I mean? And he was just like, listen, man, I'm just a guy to support you and that, you know, hold you to a high regard. And you just. I was disappointed. Yeah. I was hurt.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

By the fact that you didn't want to engage in one of the greatest rap rap battles ever.

[Rory]

And it was. It was cool. You know, once. Once the party was over and everyone was leaving, they turned the lights on. But some of us stayed and kicked it. And Cole actually played a record that didn't make it on the album called Let Mall Down.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Over the let.

[Maul]

You wasn't supposed to let people know about that one, though, Rory.

[Rory]

I mean, it was cool. It was cool to see, like, Cole holding the phone up to your ear, and you just like. Yeah, yeah. That was a nice. Nice moment I felt.

[Maul]

Listen, man. You know what I'm saying? I support Cole, man. I was just a little hurt by his decision making two years ago, that's all.

[Rory]

All right, now the other side. Let's hate. I feel like if he condensed this to one album, it would have been good.

[Maul]

Yo, it was too much cold.

[Rory]

Could he just lock in with Alchemist?

[Maul]

24 tracks of cold. That's too much cold.

[Rory]

That's never not a fucking feature.

[Maul]

It's not that cold. That's too cold.

[Baby D]

Y' all are straight bullsh.

[Rory]

Yo, yo, be silly.

[Maul]

It's too cold.

[Rory]

It's a cold world.

[Maul]

Yeah, but it's. Come on, man. It's three degrees outside. We got 24 tracks of J Cole, like, what are we doing? I. I think his hooks are trash. Can we just admit that?

[Rory]

Yo, I've always said that his hooks are.

[Maul]

He got it, Yo. He has to. That's. He needs. He needs better hooks, bro. Yeah, he can wrap his ass off. We know that. He needs better hooks.

[Rory]

Oh, and, like, that knockoff, just blaze beat and. Ugh. Just everything about it was weird. And I thought the Run A Train record was really creepy. I can't believe anyone.

[Maul]

I can't believe that they let that.

[Rory]

Leave the studio in this day and age.

[Maul]

Yeah, I don't believe that, E.B. i don't know what y'.

[Baby D]

All.

[Rory]

I didn't consent to that song.

[Maul]

I cannot believe y' all let that leave the studio. He needs to lock in with one producer, Alchemist.

[Rory]

I don't understand why Al didn't do the whole.

[Maul]

Yo, Cole, you gotta lock in with one producer. Yo, you have to. This is like, your sound is all over the place. Your hooks are not in the pocket. Like, Cole's life is boring. Can we just admit it? He has no substance.

[Rory]

Everything felt. This album felt really rushed, too. Like, he just decided one day to just say, I'm gonna do the fall off.

[Maul]

I told you. He changed the album. I told you. I. It's my Rory. I feel like.

[Rory]

Like, I wish you would put more thought in the concept.

[Maul]

He changed the album. He had to pivot. He changed. You can tell this was rushed. Yeah, you can tell. Like, he had to, you know what I'm saying, go to a different sound. He tried to create something different. It just didn't. It didn't stick with me.

[Rory]

The. The back cover, like, ooh, we get it. You like hip hop.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, at least clear some of that shit too much and pay the artists that are on the back cover too much. You ran from Cam. You didn't even address anything with Cam. Like, man, I'm going. I'm going to court that day, baby.

[Maul]

Is this your hero, Baby D, Is this your rap hero?

[Baby D]

Yeah, it is. Oh, y' all thought I was gonna switch up in this.

[Rory]

I mean, I was trying to. Me and Damaris talking last night. I was trying to give Cole grace. Like, maybe we don't get the concept. The album was so bad because it. The fall off. He was trying to show y' all that he could fall off. Like, right, because it was so bad. That's what I thought maybe he was doing.

[Maul]

I can't believe he. I can't believe this is the album we got. I can't believe it.

[Rory]

Y' all know cracking me up.

[Baby D]

Think that somebody is gonna clip all of this.

[Rory]

And like, to me, if you think about it, with disappointing double discs, where does it rank amongst Blueprint two and Street Cycle?

[Maul]

This is worse than Blueprint two. Like, this is number one. This is the worst double disc album.

[Rory]

This is worse than the AIDS song on Street's Disciple.

[Maul]

Yeah, this is. You gotta condense the album. It's to leave the double diss shit alone. Rappers gotta leave it alone. It's over. Cole couldn't do it. Like, just leave it alone. You know what I mean? Give us 16, 17 tracks max, and that's it. All of this, 22, 23, 24. Cut the shit, man. We don't want to hear that much rapping.

[Rory]

And then, like, that was such a trash 7 minute diss to Kendrick and Drake. Like, what this shit move on, Cole. Like, why are you still on this shit?

[Maul]

Now it makes sense why he didn't battle.

[Baby D]

Oh, now it makes sense.

[Maul]

Now it makes sense. He couldn't handle it. Too much pressure. Most anticipated rap album in the last however many years. Fold. I get it now. I get why he was losing sleep. J. Fold. J. Fold. From now on, he needs to do the Folded remix. Yo, give yo Cole, send Kehlani a verse. Cause you folded this album. Yeah, man, this ain't it.

[Rory]

And to me, this is. This is what you get when Boss Jid Earth Gang are not writing your rhymes for you. Cause everyone knows.

[Maul]

Everybody knows Jid.

[Rory]

Everybody know Cole don't write his own rhyme.

[Maul]

Jid is writing for Cole. Can we even make that shit?

[Baby D]

He's writing for Cole.

[Rory]

He tried to trick us with Executive Produced by T Minus and Dreamville.

[Maul]

Yeah, that didn't do it like.

[Rory]

Cause we already knew that they was gonna write his rhymes. It didn't sound like it this time.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, I could hear Jid. I can hear what Jid is missing at. I know where Jid Penn was used at now. Now it all makes sense. See, everything makes sense now. After hearing this album, the fall off, I now understand why J. Cole didn't battle. Why he backed out of that, why he turned his back on Drake. It all makes sense now. Yeah, I get it.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

I'm not even mad at you, Cole. I'm not mad. I'm not mad.

[Rory]

The release party didn't follow any fire code. It was dangerous in there. Just an awful overall night. One of the worst release parties I've ever seen in my entire life.

[Maul]

Cole don't not have fun when y' all ever Seen Cole have him and.

[Rory]

He ducked away from you. You was like, yo, what's up, up? Like, I heard you was talking all. And then Cole ran as you.

[Maul]

His name. Now, that's what he does when the battle is on.

[Rory]

He can't.

[Maul]

He can't sleep. Somebody's gonna.

[Rory]

Y', all, this is funny.

[Maul]

Somebody's gonna clip all of this.

[Baby D]

I'm like, somebody's gonna clip all that.

[Maul]

And I love it.

[Baby D]

Seem like y' all really are being.

[Rory]

I haven't heard the album.

[Maul]

Here's the beauty in all of this. We write somewhere in there. Some of that is right. Something we said in all of that the last 20 minutes, something.

[Rory]

Definitely was the part where J. Cole doesn't write his rhymes.

[Maul]

Yeah, but that was it, Jenny.

[Baby D]

J.

[Maul]

Is writing all of J. Cole's rhymes. That's what was right out of all of that. But either way, we will be back next week for a real official breakdown and review of the fall off all 29,000 tracks, all intros. 29, 39 intros. But again, all jokes aside, I am really looking forward to this album, and I hope that I like it.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to. And I know we're done with the jokes. I am looking forward to having this much cold music at one time. Yeah, we've never just gotten 24 cold tracks. Like, that's what I'm excited about.

[Maul]

Yeah, hopefully you did it. You did what you're supposed to do.

[Baby D]

So what are we doing tonight to get into it? Like, how we setting the mood, baby?

[Maul]

D, listen, when this album dropped, I don't want it to be 12, 27, and you already in the group chat texting. Shut up. Just listen to the album. Keep your thoughts.

[Rory]

We live texting, man.

[Maul]

As soon as Port Antonio came out, seven minutes later, you was in the group text like, yo.

[Baby D]

No, that's not what happened. That was Rory. Because me and Rory were out when Port Antonio.

[Maul]

That wasn't here.

[Rory]

No, that was clouds.

[Baby D]

That was clouds.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

We were at Manny's birthday party.

[Maul]

Yeah. Okay, that.

[Rory]

And we walked outside to listen to the song.

[Baby D]

No, Rory went outside with the phone to his ear.

[Rory]

Like, just say, I don't love hip hop.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I was inside playing Uno. I don't write in the group. Even when Cardi dropped. Y' all was in the group chat before. I was.

[Maul]

What? I said in the group chat.

[Baby D]

You said, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. These can't with me. I'm turning this off.

[Maul]

I didn't say that. I said that. No, I didn't say that.

[Rory]

Of course.

[Maul]

I've never typed out ABCDEFG in my phone. I've never done that.

[Rory]

Don't do that. Cause when Wayne did it, we all was like, yo, that's crazy.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Maul]

But I still never texted to nobody.

[Rory]

Like, Wayne wrapped the Alphabet on that, and we was like, wow, it's genius.

[Maul]

Yeah, Baby D, let the album be out for at least two hours before you.

[Baby D]

No, because this is my thing. This because the same thing with Cardi. If I'm enjoying the album and you put something in the group chat to piss me off, it's gonna take me out of my happy elements. I don't wanna. I'm blocking y'.

[Maul]

All.

[Baby D]

Okay, I'll talk to y' all Monday.

[Maul]

Yeah, I'm not. But I don't do that, though. I don't jump in the text. Like, I've never done that. I've never done that. If I. If it was the. If I did that with Cardi, I was just talking shit. But I don't. I wouldn't be for real, like, in the text, like, yo, this shit trash, or, yo, this is fine. I don't do that.

[Rory]

We gotta treat it like the streamers that don't even really like hip hop, but they're streaming and they have to pretend with their surprise face. That's my favorite thing when they doing a reaction. Yeah, like, dog, you don't feel that way.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Yo, maybe I'll start my twitch today. Start my Twitch stream to fall off.

[Rory]

I mean, let's. Let's do a joint twitch.

[Baby D]

Let's. He always wanna do stuff with me.

[Maul]

But as Cole fans, y' all not nervous? A little bit. There's a lot riding on this album.

[Baby D]

I've never been disappointed by Cole's albums. I've never been disappointed by an album.

[Rory]

So I was a little bit disappointed with for your Eyes Only. It did age better than I thought it would.

[Baby D]

It aged pretty well.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Which one was Free Eyes on?

[Baby D]

I'm just saying.

[Maul]

Was that the one when he was on the bus rapping?

[Rory]

No. Well, that never even was on an album. You talk about the false prophet shit. That was just the Lucy Fear. Eyes Only. What. What was the biggest record on Neighbors. Neighbors. Yeah. Neighbors was hard when he had the video of the SWAT team coming in to his like, studio in North Carolina.

[Maul]

Oh, okay.

[Baby D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Maul]

I can't remember the song. I remember the video though. I can't remember.

[Rory]

The outro has like the nine minute story about the guy with the daughter friend died and all that. It's. It aged better than I thought. But that was the first time I was kind of disappointed with a Cole album. But I'm not nervous. I'm nervous strictly about double disc. Anytime one of my favorite artists do a double disc, I get a little nervous, that's all.

[Maul]

Yeah, I'm nervous, man, because I know everybody thinks that I'm anticipating to come in and listen to it and hate it, but I really want to like the album. I really want to enjoy it.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Maul]

And I think that he's not to cut you off, baby. I think that he. I Hope that he doesn't make the mistake of trying to rap his way back into our hearts. Like, because it just be you, you, you're a great rapper. You don't have to. So that's what I'm saying with this album.

[Rory]

I'm like, no, that the way he described the concept. I don't think you're getting any of what you got on that mixtape with Clue. I think this is songs substance. I don't, I don't think he's gonna be rapidly rapid.

[Maul]

All okay.

[Baby D]

I. Yeah, I'm not nervous. Like I was talking to my Tick Tock live earlier. I'm not nervous about the album. Like I said, Cole doesn't really let me down on albums. The only part about, and I've said this before previously, the only thing I don't like about music coming out that I'm looking forward to is having to come in here on Monday and talk about it. Which.

[Maul]

Well, that's why.

[Baby D]

Because sometimes I just want to enjoy the album. As like a casual fan, I don't like. It's now my job to talk about music and sometimes I just don't want to talk about music and then have to hear people's responses to me talking about me. Like, I just want to enjoy the album. I have to talk about it, but that's my job. So it is what it is. But like I miss being just a fan. It's like, oh, I'm just going to go in my room and listen to this and I don't have to hear anybody's opinion on it and I don't have to give my opinion on it. I don't have to make sure I'm voicing my opinion and getting what I think across in my words the right way and worry about people cutting it up and misinterpreting it. And like, I just, I just want.

[Rory]

To be able to listen to music.

[Baby D]

But, you know.

[Rory]

Yeah, I mean, I've gotten that out of sight, out of mind for me. I used to feel the same way, but I've made peace with that. That can't happen anymore. I can't be a fun consumer anymore and just enjoy music. I'm still a fun consumer for the stuff we like. I also wish I could be a consumer that doesn't like anything and just keeps it to the self.

[Baby D]

Yep.

[Maul]

Why though? That's part. That's the beauty in it though. Like we all get to share.

[Rory]

Because sometimes, I mean, even with artists that I, I do like, I mean, not every artist, no matter how great they are are always going to be batting a thousand. And I think it's unfair to any human being to. On them when every now and then they get something wrong. Like, not in a personal way. I've never done a review that way. But like, sometimes I don't want to on my favorite artist. Like, yeah, I didn't like it either. But this guy or girl has done so much amazing. Why am I going to come in here and just spew negativity of somebody that has given us decades of amazing material? Now I just gotta highlight your. I think that's just unfair. But it's the gig.

[Maul]

I think it's unfair because we only have it for what, three days before we start to talk about it. And I think that's a little unfair for somebody that took probably three years to record some of this music.

[Rory]

I mean, that's.

[Maul]

For us to kind of like 10.

[Baby D]

Years to record some of it.

[Maul]

Yeah. For us to come in three days, 72 hours later and be like, it was trash or it was amazing. I just, I think that's a little unfair. I think we should be able to live with it a little more. But I think that it's okay to consume something and then give your opinion on it.

[Rory]

First reactions are cool.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I, I feel you on that. Because I feel that even worse with like Netflix series, somebody spend over a year of their life shooting this and I literally watched the whole thing in one Saturday and then tweeted, yo, where's season two at?

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Like, yeah. Are you kidding me?

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I almost died doing this.

[Baby D]

I did my own stuff. Jackie cam with it. Like, I still got bruises on my knees.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

You want to do next season?

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Anxiety attacks. Over.

[Maul]

But just. But there's something dope in that. It meaning they enjoyed it so much they want more of that.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

You know what I'm saying? But they don't, you know, they don't take into account the time and energy it took.

[Rory]

I mean, I feel like when we were a little younger and there was less volume of how many shows were coming out with the streaming thing, we would rewatch series. Like, I've rewatched Sopranos, Wired a million times. I'm ready to rewatch a lot of stuff now, though. It comes out even the. The best. Like, I was trying to remind myself the other day to re watch succession, but then I was like, there's so much I have to watch and I don't want to re watch that. That's where I think it sucks for the directors. The Actors and all that music at least has replay value. Like if we love this cold album we're gonna keep playing it and playing it and playing it because music can be replayed rarely. Now do you watch a new series a bunch of times. Yeah, like I'm definitely going back to re watch that now. Once I find out who the killer was I'd be but I moved on. Yeah like Succession is one of the greatest shows period. And in this time it's not going to get the same credit I think Sopranos or something like that gets because people rewatch that bro. The shit would come out on Sunday and you'd re watch the Sopranos episode that just came out four times the following week before the new one came out. Like you really just had replay value of this. Now you just move the on the.

[Baby D]

Secret is dating somebody that never seen it before then you got to rewatch it because then it's fun again because.

[Rory]

They'Re watching it for the that's my favorite thing. How do you know that?

[Maul]

Have you did like a study on this?

[Baby D]

No, I you know do the grapevine. I heard that that's the best way to do it. But I introduced like every new I got to like Grey's Anatomy. Like there's a group of niggas in the world that have only seen Grey's Anatomy from start to finish because of me.

[Rory]

It's a lot of episodes that's like a oh I usually that's like the longest relationship yo by the way by the time they hit multiple 10 year.

[Baby D]

Relationships by the time they hit season 5. I'm usually gone by then. But they keep watching it usually when they knew but they like the show.

[Maul]

JBD said it's a group of in the world that have only seen Great Anatomy because I.

[Rory]

It'S a crazy club.

[Maul]

That's a crazy starter group. That's a crazy fraternity.

[Baby D]

They need to start a discord discuss episodes.

[Rory]

Grey's Anatomy Train.

[Maul]

Are you.

[Rory]

Are you. Are you that annoying person when you're. You're watching something you've watched already but it's their first time and explaining certain stuff especially because you already know I shut up.

[Baby D]

I don't tell you anything. And if you ask me a question.

[Rory]

I don't answer, say I if it's the Wire or Sopranos, I have to like remind myself to shut up like or I'll sit there and tell a girl that doesn't care like now you don't understand Richie appeal. He has a complex because his brother was the boss and Tony was young. Now, when he came out, he looking at them like they kids, but nah, they the boss.

[Baby D]

Now, Rory is the worst person to watch with that. He already seen I be like, yo, all right.

[Rory]

Like, I want you to get it. See the genius.

[Baby D]

You're not that much smarter than me. You got on the first watch and I. So did I. Like, I don't need you to. Like, I see it. We watching the same thing. Hate watching shit with Rory.

[Maul]

That's funny as fuck. I'm definitely watching Snowflake.

[Rory]

No, there was one time I forgot what me and Damaris were watching at my crib. And she had never. I forgot what movie it was. And I was talking through the whole. Damaris was sleep through the whole movie, and I didn't even know it. I was explaining shit, pausing shit, and then hitting play. She woke up at the end and said, roy, I was. I didn't watch one frame of that movie.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I was knocked the fuck out.

[Rory]

I was talking to somebody that was asleep.

[Maul]

Wait, y' all was watching it together?

[Rory]

He was in my living room, and she was knocked on my couch.

[Maul]

You couldn't see she was sleep.

[Rory]

No, I was looking at this.

[Baby D]

She was too busy talking. And, like, through the movie. He didn't even notice it wasn't.

[Rory]

And, you know, like, my couch is really big. We were on complete other sides. Like, I just wasn't even really looking. I was just like, yo, all right, this happened. This happened. Play. I was so locked in, and she had, like, the blanket over her. I thought she was laying down, watching it like this.

[Baby D]

Drool all over the house.

[Maul]

I hate watching series with girls like that, though, because now I gotta watch. We gotta start the episode over when you wake up.

[Baby D]

Now, mind you, it's your fourth time watching it.

[Maul]

Yeah, I'm like, yo, but I gotta watch it.

[Baby D]

But I usually don't. I'm good. Like, I'll watch. Especially if it's a show. I lock into shows. Movies, I'll fall asleep, but shows. I lock into shows. But it was just Rory had me watching some boring. I don't know. Every time I come to Rory house, he puts up nothing tv.

[Maul]

How are you gonna listen to this falloff album, though? Cause I'm not. I'm not. Like, I anticipate just, like, putting it on and just, like, doing shit around the house. Like, I don't want to be. I just want to hear the music first.

[Baby D]

So, you know, I read lyric the first time I hear it. I have to be reading the lyrics because I care more about the lyrics than anything else.

[Maul]

So I'm care more about the lyrics than the music.

[Baby D]

I always. We've had this conversation. I care more about the lyrics.

[Maul]

I can't listen. I can't. I gotta hear the music first.

[Baby D]

No. So I pull it up like the lyrics on my phone, and I'm reading the lyrics first.

[Maul]

Listen.

[Rory]

I can't do that.

[Maul]

Yo, baby needs a fucking psycho. That's how you listen to rap.

[Rory]

That's some serial killer shit.

[Baby D]

Yeah, that's. I want to hear what, like. I want to know what you're saying. I don't want anything to miss.

[Rory]

Like, with certain rappers, I. I hear you. Some rappers are harder to understand and don't cut through. Cole might be the clearest rapper next to Drake. Like, they both. You can hear everything they're saying.

[Baby D]

Do we all remember. I do the same thing with Drake, too. Do we? Especially with Drake. Do we all remember, like, when we were in school and we all learned what type of learners we are? Some people are visual learners, some people are audio learners. Some people learn better when they write things out. I learned the best when reading. So that's why, like, when I read the lyrics as I'm hearing it, I just. They sit better with me.

[Rory]

Now, do we think typing them up right now, like, is it gonna be on Genius? No.

[Baby D]

When you post it to Apple, Apple has. I don't know.

[Rory]

Oh, yes, AI.

[Baby D]

Or whether you submit them, but Apple has the lyrics that play while you.

[Rory]

I can only speak for Avant Garden. We submit just so you have them.

[Baby D]

Yeah, you submit. So when you're. Yeah. When the.

[Rory]

Out.

[Baby D]

When the song is, it goes word for word. And you can.

[Rory]

I forgot you can do that now in the.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I thought you were sitting, like, opening.

[Baby D]

Jeans on Apple music. Hit the little lyrics.

[Rory]

Okay. Okay. I can kind of understand following along.

[Maul]

I can't understand, but, like, I still.

[Rory]

Think it's serial killer behavior. But, yeah, staring at your phone, reading it to me at least is better.

[Maul]

First listen.

[Baby D]

First listen.

[Maul]

That's crazy. That's wild. First listen. I'm looking at my phone as J. Cole is rapping, reading his lyrics, sitting.

[Baby D]

In the bed, just like this, reading, excited.

[Maul]

But what do you. Cause you almost. You don't even know the cadence. So, like, you reading shit that he already said.

[Baby D]

No, I'm reading it while he's saying it. Like on Apple, as he's saying no.

[Maul]

I get that. But it's like, you don't know his flow. So, like, you could be reading shit that, like, you could be up Here. And he's down here already, like. And it's like.

[Rory]

Like a bad karaoke.

[Maul]

Yeah. It's like, how were you reading that? At least when you know the song, you know the cadence, you can kind of, like, read faster.

[Baby D]

I literally just look and go along. I read it as each highlighted word comes up as he says it.

[Rory]

It.

[Baby D]

I'm not reading ahead of him.

[Maul]

Nah, Though. That is a sick way to, like, take in music. The first listen.

[Baby D]

I love it that way.

[Rory]

Headphones are speaker.

[Baby D]

Huh?

[Rory]

Headphones are speakers.

[Baby D]

Headphones.

[Rory]

Nah, man.

[Baby D]

AirPods in the crib.

[Maul]

I mean, I've done that before. Like, obviously, I think we were. We were traveling when scissor.

[Rory]

So when scissor dropped, I walked around in the rain in Seattle, but we were with my headphones.

[Maul]

But we had already been to Seattle. We were already on the ground. But I think that. I think when somebody's album dropped and we were traveling somewhere and I listened to the headphones.

[Rory]

Oh, you talking about Drake and 21 Savage? I think we were in London.

[Maul]

No, we were in London already. Yeah, but I listened to the headphones on the way because we were going to record. I listened to it on the way to the studio on the headphones.

[Rory]

But I'm putting on my Netflix Sonos headphones for this one in. In the crew. Matter of fact, if Kia is off working time, I may just get on the E train and take it to Jamaica center and back.

[Baby D]

Nah, that's it. For real. On a train with the. Yeah.

[Rory]

And, like, if you get the concept. Cole saying traveling, and he went to St. John's like, I gotta get that. I gotta get that feeling. I have to go on Utopia Parkway. I have to be there, Ma.

[Baby D]

How you gonna. Like, how you gonna digest it?

[Maul]

Yo.

[Rory]

Mall's reactions to me sometimes.

[Maul]

Are you gonna listen to it when.

[Baby D]

You wake up, or are you gonna. He just be ignoring you sometimes? Are you gonna wake up and do it? Or are you gonna stay up, wake.

[Rory]

Up and do it?

[Maul]

You think I'm gonna wake up, set my alarm, wake up to listen to someone?

[Baby D]

Oh, not wake up, like, the next day. I mean, like, the next day.

[Maul]

No, no, no. I'm staying up. I'll be up past midnight for sure. But I'm not going. Like, the way I listen to music, I like putting, like. I have something on, like, playing, like, watching something, but put it on mute and then, like, have the music playing.

[Baby D]

Oh, my ADHD would lose. I couldn't. I can't ingest two pieces of.

[Maul]

Because, like, say, like, if It's a game on at midnight. Like a West coast game, right? Like maybe the Clippers or somebody. The Lakers are playing like the game is on. So I'm watching the game with headphones. No, no, no. I got the music playing, like, you know, through the speaker. But I'm listening to the music. But I'm watching the game. So I'm watching something else, but I'm listening to the music. Cause that's how I take in music the best. I gotta. I can't be hyper fixated on what I'm listening to. It gotta kinda just be like, playing. And then I'll hear something and I'll be like, damn, that melody is hard. And I'll start the song over once I do that. Now I'm more into tune to what they're saying. Cause I heard it, I'm hearing the music, and I'm like, that got a nice little. You know what I'm saying? I like that melody. I like that beat. I like that rhythm. All right, will he say it right here? Then I'll start it over. Because I wanna hear what he's saying. So. So I'm definitely gonna be up. But yeah, that's how I listen. I can't. Cause if I sit down and just like, this is the only thing I'm focused on. The music doesn't really. It doesn't really connect to me. Like, it takes longer for it to connect to me like that as opposed to I'm moving around, I'm doing shit. Whether I'm cleaning or, you know, working out. Like, that's why I'm working out is. Or when you're traveling, flying, like, you know, stuff like that.

[Rory]

It.

[Maul]

Walking through the airport. You listen to shit like that. I listen to no bullshit. I think I said this before. I listen to music the best and hear music the best while I'm asleep. It's weird. I know it sounds weird, but if it's playing not loud, but if it's playing low. And I'm like, I fall asleep. I can still hear the music while I'm sleeping.

[Rory]

You gotta hit REM sleep, bro. It's important.

[Maul]

No, I understand. But I'm just saying I've done that. And when I woke up, I'm like, yo, what song was that? And I go back and I'm like, that shit sound crazy. It's so much music that I've received like that. I don't know how and why I connect to music like that. But definitely playing it low while I'm sleeping and just letting it loop. Definitely one of the best ways for me to listen to music.

[Rory]

So you gonna be dreaming about Cole?

[Maul]

No, I'm not dreaming about. Well, it's Dreamville, so. I mean, it's kind of. There's a connection there. Cole didn't really want the problem with me. He didn't want that issue with me. That's why he said that. You know what I'm saying? Cole didn't want that.

[Baby D]

You out of all people.

[Maul]

Me out of all. He didn't want that problem with me. But, yeah, I think I'm gonna listen to it and, you know, not hyper focus on it. Just kind of have it in the background.

[Rory]

But I have a multitask brain too, with music. Like, I would prefer to be cleaning up the crib. Yeah. With headphones on while I'm listening to.

[Maul]

Cleaning the crib with headphones on is.

[Rory]

Hilarious for a first listen to the cold album.

[Maul]

Rob is gonna be right behind you while you mopping.

[Baby D]

Yeah. They ain't even gonna like.

[Maul]

You ain't even hear them come in. You got some big ass. You got the big ass. Sotos on. They taking all your.

[Rory]

But you have the. That has changed because I would never do that before. But that's changed with having Amara. Like, when she sleep. I gotta put on headphones to listen to shit. I can't just be in the crib. My Sonos fucking soundbar.

[Maul]

Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, but I mean, you don't have the headphones on while Amara's up moving around the corner.

[Rory]

No, no, no, of course not.

[Maul]

She sleep.

[Rory]

But it's at midnight. I hope she's gonna be asleep by midnight. So I'm definitely gonna.

[Maul]

Yeah, you don't wanna wake up. I understand that. I understand that.

[Rory]

But I'm with you. Multitask shit. I know. You were saying, hearing something you like and then playing it back. What's our over under with? We could even add this to the spread' em segment. What's over under of how long it takes Damaris to get from 29 intro to 2 6. How many times she bringing the intro back?

[Maul]

See, I don't know.

[Rory]

It may take 30 minutes for her to get to 2 6.

[Maul]

But see, this is my only issue with Baby D. Cause she loved Cole so much. I don't know if she can be objective. If it's not good enough.

[Baby D]

That's not true.

[Maul]

I don't know if I believe that.

[Baby D]

I never understood that. Because when Cole did what he did, I was one of the first people to come in here. Just like Man, I'm sad as fuck he did that shit. I made videos about it and everything. Like, I speak on when I don't like shit. I do that with all of my favorite artists. Like, when people say I'm biased with favorite artists and shit. I critique Cardi, I critique Janet, I critique Cole, I critique Drake. I critique all of these things.

[Maul]

All right, that's cool. But how come when I said what I said and expressed how I felt about what he did, you was, like, giving me pushback and mad at me?

[Baby D]

I was not mad at you.

[Maul]

I was expressing what you felt.

[Baby D]

In the exact clip that you're talking about, you can hear me in the back laughing. That's not true. Now, the only time you've gotten critique from me is afterwards when you would say, I think you said his career was over. And I was like, that's not true. That. When you was like, his career. His career is done.

[Maul]

Committed career suicide.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I was like, that's not true.

[Maul]

But did you understand what I was saying, though?

[Baby D]

I understood what you were saying, but I still disagree. I don't. I don't think that that's true, but I get what you were saying.

[Maul]

But many people even now have come out and echoed the same sentiments I have. Like, his words don't really.

[Baby D]

Yeah, he's still going number one.

[Maul]

Oh, no.

[Baby D]

Like, you see what I'm saying?

[Maul]

So that's. Listen, we not. We know. That's never. You've never heard me say his album is. You never hear. I didn't. I wouldn't say that. I'm just saying, like, what I was saying in 24 all the way to today was his words. A certain way that he talk is just not. It don't land the same. It don't mean the same. And this is coming from other artists and rappers that are saying the same things that I'm saying. Like, it just don't. Because as an emcee, that's all you got.

[Baby D]

And I get it, but I completely understand what y' all were saying, and that was one of the reasons why I was so upset. Like, I was one of those people who have been fighting for Cole to be respected since fucking 2011. I was on Twitter arguing with people about Cole Cold. Like, I. I get it. I get it. So I'm open to if it's not it. It's not it, but it's never not been it. So I can't. Like, I don't know how to speak from that. Like, as a fan of other artists, I've had albums where it was like, this ain't it. Outside of for your eyes Only, which got heavy critique. It ain't never not been it for cold, so I'm not. Yeah.

[Rory]

Hey.

[Baby D]

Yeah, we lit.

[Rory]

Oh. I meant to say. And we can move on soon. I meant to say, I think you. You owe me a bit of an apology.

[Baby D]

Oh, you. Oh. Every episode you come with some. What? What?

[Rory]

Because you're really. I told you off mic, not anything. I said on camera that, hey, I think the fall off is coming in August. This was of last year. Because I was told people involved with the tour, they was hitting them like, yo, you free, you free, you free. We need you for the whole tour. And it was going to start in August. So I was like, we're getting the fall off. Obviously before that, if you saw cam' Ron on his podcast, give the timeline of where their disagreement started, he said, cole told me, let's do the interview in June. That's when the fall off is coming out. And then Cam hit him in June, and Cole was like, damn, you hit me right in June, huh? I'm pushing it back. So you were really mean to me when the fall off ended up not coming. And I said, yo, this was the information that I was.

[Maul]

June last year.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Or 24 last year. Okay.

[Rory]

I just. I just don't think I deserve some of the abuse that I get from. From the marriage.

[Baby D]

You deserve every bit of abuse I give you.

[Rory]

So I had. I had very accurate information.

[Maul]

I could abuse you more. I should abuse you more.

[Baby D]

Especially if, like, I threatened you with the belt a lot. I could pop ass more. You feel me?

[Maul]

I just. I just cannot wait to come in here Monday after hearing this album.

[Rory]

How. How mad would you guys be? And it's good that Trey is here as well. Shout out to Trey, because I don't have Twitter now. If I took over the new Roaring Mall Twitter at midnight to live tweet about every song.

[Maul]

Yeah, no, Trey, don't do that.

[Rory]

Change the password. On my own. It's crazy.

[Maul]

Change the password, please. Don't let him do that. Jesus Christ. I would unfollow us.

[Baby D]

I would unfollow.

[Rory]

Remember that used to be fun, though, on Twitter, when you would just live tweet of what was like, happening at the moment.

[Baby D]

Yeah, we still do that. You just don't have no Twitter.

[Rory]

I got the new Roy Mall one.

[Baby D]

I used to hack the new Royal Mall Twitter all the time.

[Rory]

I'd be DMing people like, yo, it's Trey Yoda's Train.

[Maul]

Yoda's trade saying what though?

[Baby D]

Yoda's train.

[Rory]

Yo, Stray, look at my dunk videos.

[Baby D]

It's so funny how like all of the listeners. Well, a lot of the listeners, like, they think we do everything. So like whenever anybody types anything, they'd be like, yo, Damaris Peach. I'm like, it's not like it's not me on the new Rory. It's. We have a social media person. Like, yeah, I'm not sitting here tweeting from that.

[Rory]

And, and, and I know this verses won't happen, but I do want to challenge all you other podcasts. We have the most athletic digital manager in the game. Nobody's. Nobody's seeing our social guy on the court. I just want to make that very clear, actually. Uno on Instagram, go see what time it is.

[Baby D]

Go do like a fake dribble in front of the camera.

[Rory]

Please don't do that flagrant too. Your show is named after a sports phrase. Go see Trey on the court.

[Maul]

Please don't do that.

[Rory]

You're not seeing our team.

[Maul]

Schultz is athletic though.

[Rory]

Yeah, no, Schultz. Schultz can box and play ball.

[Maul]

Yeah. He ain't seeing Trey basket one though. Trey put.

[Rory]

Trey is beating Andrew Schultz in one.

[Maul]

On one in the fucking hoop.

[Rory]

Schultz can ball. I've seen footage in balling.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And I was actually shocked when I saw him box. I was like, oh, all right.

[Maul]

That was for you. Cause you remember you was talking crazy about him that one time we even.

[Rory]

Had that conversation and I was very, very honest. When you had asked me how you think that fight would go, I said, his reach. And I could see he could fight. I saw one of his angles. I was like, oh, yeah, I'm losing the Schultz.

[Baby D]

It's something about saying like his reach. I don't know. I don't like the way that sound.

[Rory]

I mean, another man.

[Maul]

Pretty big factor in fighting, boxing.

[Baby D]

I get it. I just don't like it Makes me.

[Rory]

It's hard to beat someone up. They have a six foot reach on.

[Baby D]

You like the word moist. Like, you make me uncomfortable.

[Maul]

Moist makes you uncomfortable.

[Baby D]

Like the word.

[Maul]

The word moist makes you uncomfortable for real.

[Baby D]

It's like awkward to use in a sentence.

[Maul]

So if you, you just bake the cake. If I have a slice of cake, like, baby, this is really moist. Like, yeah, you see and I don't. She said you see. No, I don't. Like, I'm using it in the Korean correct phrase. Like, yo, baby, this cake is. What? You added extra mayo to this?

[Baby D]

Like, yeah, okay, I'm sure there will be someone in the comments agreeing with me. That's like a thing moist.

[Maul]

Okay.

[Baby D]

It's like the sound your tongue makes when you say it. Like, like the. Oi. Like, it's. I don't like it.

[Maul]

Baby. Do you like that? Like, rewear.

[Baby D]

I don't like.

[Rory]

Ha.

[Baby D]

Gotcha.

[Maul]

You got me. I'm sorry, I forgot. I forgot what type of tomb you feel.

[Rory]

Got.

[Maul]

Yeah, I got. I'm got. I'm. God. What were you saying?

[Baby D]

Do I like that?

[Maul]

Do you like. Do you like dudes that like, rewear the same socks they had on yesterday?

[Baby D]

Who the would like that? What the. Who would like that? That's dirty.

[Maul]

Some of your favorite. Some of your favorite do like.

[Rory]

Well, first of all, how you know.

[Maul]

That cuz is dirty. You know is dirty.

[Baby D]

You. So you've seen what. You seen that wake up and roll over and put their same socks on?

[Maul]

There's been plenty of that. Spent the night at the crib and I'm like, well, you ain't going to go home and like, no new underwear, no new socks, nothing. Just same. Yeah, like. Yeah, like what you doing?

[Rory]

Nothing worse than the briefs when you got the. Oh, gosh, it's the bacon collar shit they call on your drawers. Nah, I'm cool.

[Baby D]

That's.

[Rory]

That's. I can't lie. There's definitely been nights that I didn't expect I was staying somewhere and I don't like sleeping in socks. I gotta put them socks back on in the morning.

[Maul]

Nah. No, I don't.

[Rory]

I'm going right home to shop.

[Maul]

My homie gotta give me some socks.

[Baby D]

He talking about a girl.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Oh, she gotta give me some socks.

[Rory]

She done.

[Maul]

Fuck the Knick. Give me them. Give me the practice socks.

[Baby D]

The Nick.

[Maul]

Yo, give me, give me j. Give me Josh Hart socks. But give me, give me.

[Rory]

Don't do that. Josh Hart is gonna married.

[Maul]

I mean, well, yes. I mean, hypothetically.

[Rory]

And he lost his virginity to his wife, never slept with anyone else.

[Maul]

For real?

[Rory]

No.

[Maul]

Oh, I don't know. That's crazy. That's honorable.

[Baby D]

Are the Knicks doing well?

[Maul]

They are.

[Rory]

What are we at, six, seven in a row?

[Maul]

Eight.

[Baby D]

Eight. So we're going to the playoffs.

[Maul]

They definitely.

[Rory]

I mean, we're number two in the East.

[Maul]

Yeah, they're definitely going to the playoffs for sure. What's up? It's a good year for the Knicks. We gonna get Detroit out of trade. Deadline is today. Well, actually, in 30 minutes as we're recording this. Giannis. I thought. I thought Giannis was Going to the warriors, but I forgot him and Mike Dunleav have still have a little beef. So we're not going to see Giannis and Steph, at least not this year. Don't know what that looks like. Next year, they got Kristaps Porzingis. I guess it is what it is.

[Rory]

I like to see Porzingis still in the league. I like it.

[Maul]

Yeah, but he got to stay healthy, man. Porzingis is always hurt, man. He's always hurt.

[Rory]

Listen, that was one of those trades that I was completely wrong about. We got rid of Porzingis, and the next, I was like, like, yo, we do this every time. Why make the worst decisions ever? And we. We were correct.

[Maul]

No, but I understand why you felt like that in that moment, because at that time, Porzingis was.

[Rory]

They was balling.

[Maul]

They was talking about him. Him and Giannis. That's who they was comparing. Like, yo, would you take Giannis over? I'm like, word. This is a real conversation. But, yeah, I mean, he was.

[Rory]

Well, in retrospect, I was wrong. That was the greatest trade.

[Maul]

Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

That the Knicks possibly could have had to get this new regime.

[Maul]

I thought the Knicks were going to get. Make a run at Giannis as well. That doesn't look like it's gonna happen, but then again, it is 30 minutes left, so we could be completely wrong. It could be something going on.

[Rory]

Cat for the Greek.

[Maul]

Cat McBride. Hart. Nah, nah, for Giannis. I will go help them niggas pack their lockers. Yo, fam, y' all gotta get the fuck up out of here.

[Rory]

There's a reason his last name is Hart. I love pissywood.

[Maul]

What the fuck does that mean? That means nothing.

[Rory]

The heart of it's Arenas.

[Maul]

Gianna's last name is Antetokounmpo. It's a reason. It's a reason. His last name is Yonta Takuma.

[Rory]

Can you imagine, like, Astoria if we ever got Giannis?

[Maul]

Astoria. Can you imagine the Garden and Giannis first game coming out that tunnel? Shit, he gotta be a Knick, bro. Like, it's either the Knicks or even Golden State is cool, but the market is not the same. Giannis, I think, belongs in New York. He belongs in New York. He looks like the type of. He's the type of player that he should be in New York. I don't know when it's going to happen, but, I mean, you know, we'll have to wait and see. They did get Alvarado, though. The Knicks did get Alvarado. I like that pickup for the Knicks.

[Rory]

Yeah, I thought it was cool. Where are you at with your squad? Don't try to cherry pick us now. What's up with your Lakers?

[Maul]

I'm going to be honest. Love LeBron, great player, but I think it's time. I think we gotta just give LeBron his flowers, you know, but we gotta move past the LeBron era in LA.

[Baby D]

Send Old Yeller out to pasture.

[Maul]

It's not. I don't wanna say send him out to pasture, but it's like, it's not. They're never gonna. We gotta be honest. LeBron and Luka is not gonna work. And to be honest, I don't know if Luka works with anybody, honestly, like Luka. He's a great talent. I don't know if it looked good with Kyrie. They obviously went to the finals with Dallas, But Luka and LeBron, I mean, even when that first happened, I mean, it sounds great. It's still the, to me, still the craziest trade in NBA history. Dallas trading Luka to the Lakers. It's still like there was no rumors of it. It just happened one day. We looked at our phones and was like, what the fuck?

[Rory]

We said it was fake.

[Maul]

Yeah, like Luka's a Laker. It sounds good when you HEAR Luka and LeBron, obviously, you know, but just looking at it, you know, LeBron being 40 plus years old now, still in great shape, still playing great, but it's just, you know, it's not going to work in la. And I think that the Lakers can only begin to rebuild and try to get back to a certain level. And it's not like they playing terrible, they're not like stinking it up, but in the playoffs. Exactly. That's my point. It's not going to. They're not going to do nothing in the playoffs. So it's just like we got to move past the LeBron era.

[Rory]

You got to get the keys to Bronnie. Keys to the. That's his bleak fade to black. The city's yours now.

[Maul]

No, that's not gonna happen. LeBron will not have the keys to LA. That will not happen. But yeah, I think once we move past the LeBron era, you know, and, you know, thank LeBron for his illustrious career and everything that he did, then we can start rebuilding. But right now, I mean, I'm going next, man. I'm going next.

[Rory]

While we were recording just now, J. Cole dropped a teaser saying, album out at midnight. I mean, it's the greatest. It's the greatest teaser in rap history. It's. It's a classic.

[Maul]

The greatest teaser.

[Rory]

You got Common delight in that. Come on now.

[Maul]

He teased you. He teased you.

[Rory]

I'm teased. I think my nipples are hard. Yeah, Damaris is moist.

[Maul]

She's definitely moist.

[Baby D]

Yo, getting moist. About to fall off.

[Maul]

She heard that comment. Flipping got moist.

[Rory]

You laughing at Trey and a Dilla flip too. See?

[Maul]

Nah man, that's what Cole does though, man. He gonna give you that soul sample, man.

[Rory]

I fall for it every time.

[Maul]

Yeah, like how you. That's like the Jordan Fadeaway. He can't go away from that. It's money. It's money.

[Rory]

Rats on a soul flip. Nah.

[Maul]

Yeah, what are we talking about? Like what else I need? He's not gonna lose if he did. If it's 24 of those, then yeah, it's a classic.

[Rory]

I mean what I thought was so crazy though after he dropped that they pushed the super bowl back because of the fall off. I think they're going with next Sunday.

[Maul]

Let me tell you what's not gonna happen. I can promise you I knew J. Cole will be happening on Sunday is the super bowl will be happening on Sunday. I don't give a who album is.

[Rory]

Dropping because of Rock Nation. Yeah, they tried, but rock was like, nah. Huh?

[Maul]

Yeah, they tried. They tried to push it back, but no.

[Rory]

But now that we are back to to some sports here. Listen, man, should I do my victory lab now? How come you guys never show up with flowers for me? I cleaned you up in our Spread Them segment. This is Spread Them sponsored by Hard Rock Bet. I was talking to people at Hard Rock and they was like, yo, come to our super bowl party. But don't like we seen you clean maul up so he can't come. So you know you have to name a thousand rappers on stream n. I.

[Maul]

Need my get back. Yo, double nothing. Bet it back.

[Rory]

Oh, you one of them.

[Maul]

Bet it back.

[Rory]

You one of them.

[Maul]

Who you taking in the game? Bet it back. Bet it back. I'm taking the Patriots at four and a half. I'm taking the Patriots at four and a half. All right, I'll go with Seattle.

[Rory]

That's all it takes.

[Maul]

That ain't even sound. You ain't even sound confident in that. I know.

[Rory]

If that's all it takes, cool. I mean, I don't know why I.

[Maul]

Would would do that better back.

[Rory]

Matter of fact, if, if I'm. No, let's take it further. I said I think two episodes ago that I think Cardi B is coming out on Bad Bunny set. This is the way we'll bet it back. You got to name 2, 000 rappers. If Cardi B comes out on Bad Bunny set, I'll clear our our spread them debt in a heartbeat. And if, if, if I'm wrong, I will name the thousand rappers. But if, if I am correct, you naming 2,000 rappers, we're going to be here for A week.

[Baby D]

I don't think 2000 rappers exist. Like, make him do something like that.

[Rory]

I would just start making up names.

[Baby D]

I was. Make him do some like a thousand rappers. And then like, you got to do like a thousand push ups or something.

[Rory]

We both rapped before. That's two.

[Maul]

Yeah. I don't know if I like that bet. 2,000 rappers.

[Baby D]

That's some insane.

[Maul]

That's crazy.

[Baby D]

You got to do a thousand push ups. You got to come in every day this year and do push ups.

[Rory]

Hot dog. Peach want to do a hot dog challenge. Peach tried to make us do and, and hard rock. If you're listening, we should add this in into the. The interface of hard rock. But the sour grape challenge that Peach.

[Maul]

Tried to get, that was the worst ever.

[Rory]

You have to finish. You have to finish a whole bag of them.

[Baby D]

Okay. I like that.

[Rory]

A thousand rappers plus a whole bag of sour grapes.

[Maul]

My, my, my jaws just clinches thinking about that.

[Baby D]

Yo, I wish I could have seen ma's face eating that.

[Maul]

I can't eat. I'm too old for like that. My taste buds is. I can't take that.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's. I mean, but. All right, if you scared, say you scared.

[Maul]

I'm not scared.

[Rory]

You scared. Go to church.

[Maul]

A whole bag of them. Sour grapes. I can't do that. That's impossible.

[Rory]

So do you think Cardi B is going to come out? You don't want to risk it?

[Maul]

Not that I don't want to risk it. I don't think she's going to come out.

[Rory]

All right, then make the bet.

[Maul]

I don't see Cardi B. I just. Because they performed well. Bad Bunny performed that song, that record.

[Rory]

I like it.

[Maul]

Years ago with Shakira and JLo.

[Rory]

It wasn't with Cardi B.

[Maul]

It wasn't with Carti. Cardi will obviously be at the Super Bo because her child's father. Yeah, he's playing. Stephon is playing in the game. So it's not far fetched that she'll pop out since she'll already be there.

[Rory]

I think she's gonna come out with Stephan.

[Maul]

I just don't know if like out.

[Rory]

The tunnel, like during the performance. I don't even think he's gonna be in there for halftime adjustments. They're gonna make a moment.

[Maul]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't think she's gonna come out for his set. I can't see her coming out.

[Rory]

All right, well then. All right, we're taking our bet.

[Maul]

Here is bet it she not coming out. Bet it. Bet it is.

[Rory]

With our spread, it's four and a half with the Patriots.

[Maul]

I'm taking the Patriots.

[Rory]

Taking the Patriots. I'll take Seattle. And we're taking.

[Maul]

But now, what happens if Patriots win but Cardi comes out? You don't see that happening? Trey. I'm just saying, what happens if the Patriots win and Cardi comes out? Did I lose?

[Rory]

Ty goes to the runner. I guess I'm just saying phrases, huh?

[Maul]

Then baby D would have the name. I'm eating 50 mozzarella fixes.

[Rory]

Okay. If it ends up being a tie, I have a really good compromise. If it ends up being a tie, I'll name a thousand rappers. You have to eat the sour crepe challenge both on the same stream at the same time. Pause.

[Maul]

That's. How many grapes is in that bag? 40. I can't eat 40 regular when they.

[Rory]

Say on the bag. Don't eat 40 of these in one sitting.

[Baby D]

Ma can eat 20. We'll make Maul eat 20.

[Rory]

What do we do with your mozzarella sticks?

[Baby D]

Well, y' all wanted me to eat 34.

[Maul]

No, you said you could eat that. We didn't want you to do anything. You claim.

[Rory]

I think you tapped out at that time.

[Baby D]

I tapped out at, like, 17.

[Rory]

All right. You gotta eat 17.

[Maul]

She did not eat 17 mozzarella sticks.

[Baby D]

How you gonna tell me?

[Maul]

Cause I was on stage watching you.

[Baby D]

You were on stage performing and doing your thing and watching your thing.

[Maul]

She would eat 17 mozzarella sticks. No fucking way.

[Rory]

We weren't clocking it. I mean, I. I'll give. Eden is honest. I think Edden was. Was clocking it correctly on the screen because we had the number thing going, right?

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Hell, no. Yes. Yeah. Making that up. She didn't eat that many mozzarella sticks. You crazy? The marriage would have threw up all.

[Rory]

Over 15 sour grapes if we tie.

[Baby D]

Why you're not making easy for him. You got to name a thousand rappers. This could eat a grape.

[Maul]

Like 15 of those. David, that's torture. That tastes terrible.

[Baby D]

You could take five shots with me.

[Maul]

Potential sponsor, take five shots.

[Baby D]

Five shots of tequila with me. Or you could do 15 grapes. Pick one. I'm not.

[Rory]

We are not encouraging drinking and writing at the same time. I just want to make that clear. I think that's in the fine point.

[Maul]

Give me 15 grapes. I ain't taking five shots.

[Rory]

Five shots is a lot.

[Maul]

I don't drink. Yeah, give me. Give me 15 grapes. I drink in five shots because I could drink water. I Could drink water after I eat each grape. Like, that's.

[Baby D]

That's gonna make it more fun.

[Rory]

And I got. If I have to name a thousand rappers, you'll have some time.

[Maul]

Yeah, Yeah. I can spread them out. They'd be the real spread them. That'd be the real spread them. I'm taking the pages. Four and a half.

[Rory]

So on the good Hard Rock name, that's. That's the bet?

[Maul]

Yes, sir. That's our Hard Rock bet right there. Boom.

[Rory]

So super bowl predictions outside of that, did you guys watch Media Day?

[Maul]

No, I didn't see the media Day.

[Rory]

Damaris. We pull up that beautiful young lady that stole the show.

[Maul]

There's no.

[Rory]

As Peach brought up a good point. There's no real stars this year. There's potential stars that I think will become stars in the NFL, but there's no, like, you know, a list legacy act in this Super Bowl. Stefon Diggs is probably the most popular, outside him being talented, but, you know, personal life. It was. It was a mediocre media day, and thank God this beautiful woman came in and saved the day.

[Maul]

Oh, that's Generica. Yeah, Generica. That's how you say her name. She might be from Generica.

[Baby D]

It might be Generica, but I think it's Generica.

[Maul]

Generica. Generica. Owens. Right?

[Rory]

Owens. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, I think media should dress this way, not teachers. But I'm fine with this fit. I think this is a great fit.

[Maul]

Are you fine with this one? This one did it for you.

[Rory]

Perfect fit.

[Maul]

Yeah, perfect Media Day fit. She looks good.

[Baby D]

She looks amazing.

[Maul]

Yeah, she looks good.

[Rory]

And the Internet was killing her.

[Maul]

But she looks like the Internet was killing her. Why?

[Baby D]

They were saying that some slacks would have did it, Joe. Like, you could have just worn pants. Like, it was unprofessional. Okay.

[Maul]

I could see people saying, I can see it, too.

[Baby D]

I'm not gonna lie.

[Maul]

But, yeah, and then she. It's the. She doesn't have a shirt on. It's cleavage.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Rory]

I mean, what did Damaris say during our teacher debate? Like, she can't change how her body is shaped.

[Baby D]

That's fine. But, like, just Media period. And I'm. Listen, I'm cool with what she wearing, but I'm sure people are just thinking, like, media period. You just could have wore pants like the shorts wearing. I ain't never even seen no slack shorts.

[Rory]

She should have wore, like, a Hillary Clinton pants.

[Maul]

Slorts. Nah, she looked good, though. She killed that.

[Baby D]

That's amazing.

[Maul]

But I can understand I can see people pushing back on a media day type of thing around a bunch of, you know, players and things like that. I could, I get how people can.

[Rory]

I mean, should we at least have better expectations for our players? I mean, I get CTE can change the brain, but they should be able to handle a woman with a toddler.

[Maul]

I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. But I'm just saying, like, a lot of the guys, a lot of players are married, things like that, you know, I could see how people would make that a thing. I get it. I don't. I wouldn't give a fuck.

[Rory]

I just say only a wife would get mad at you for you doing an interview. I didn't pick her outfit. What you want me to do?

[Maul]

Yeah, I mean, but again, it would be a kind of like, uh huh.

[Baby D]

Women in media aren't.

[Maul]

She was over there answering them questions a little. Yeah, you was over there. That interview was a little long.

[Rory]

She was asking poignant questions.

[Maul]

Yeah, no, she broke the game down amazingly sweet.

[Rory]

And we talked at. We exchanged numbers just because she thinks she could help me with my PR image. And I was thinking of hiring her as a consultant.

[Maul]

Public speaking. She could help me with.

[Rory]

And I told her you was my homegirl.

[Maul]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Imagine saying that to your wife.

[Baby D]

Spell poignant for me. Rory.

[Maul]

Who?

[Baby D]

Rory.

[Maul]

Spell what?

[Baby D]

Poignant.

[Rory]

P O, I N, T, N. That's crazy.

[Maul]

That spelling is crazy. That is not how you spell poignant. Spell point.

[Rory]

I know. Poant, yent.

[Maul]

Why you spell point?

[Rory]

Because that's the root word. So you don't even understand English.

[Maul]

Oh, shit. All right. Oh, oh, shit. You went to the root word word, huh? You spell it poignant. P O I N E N T. No, no. P O I N I N T.

[Baby D]

P O I G, N a N.

[Maul]

T. Can we G N A N T. P O. That sounds right.

[Rory]

Can we confirm that?

[Maul]

It feels like it's a G in there.

[Rory]

It feels like a silent one in there.

[Baby D]

A N t. What?

[Maul]

I said P O I N E N T. Point it.

[Rory]

I thought I was the closest.

[Maul]

Poignant. Poignant. Got it.

[Baby D]

I mean, we're, we're elevating, but yeah, media day with women is hard enough for people to.

[Maul]

Generica look great. Shout out to Generica Owens.

[Rory]

She look good? Media day used to be kind of funny.

[Maul]

Do we have another angle of the. Of the fit of the look, there were some videos. I'm just trying to see the other generic. She had that on. She looked great.

[Rory]

Yeah. Now, Jalen, you Have continued. They still sin, you know, which just.

[Baby D]

Shows like, no matter what she got on. Yeah.

[Maul]

So, yeah, she looked good. She looked good.

[Rory]

I want to talk about her interview style and that, but I mean, cool if you guys want to be horny. I was just saying she asked great questions.

[Maul]

I didn't hear what she. I'm just. They talking about the outfit. I didn't. I'm sure she's great at her job, but she looked. She looked good as well. She looked good doing her job.

[Rory]

She is good at her job. She looked just fucking around doing her job.

[Maul]

She looked great.

[Rory]

Do you think any moments are really going to happen at the super bowl outside of the game? I mean, obviously last year, which we don't talk about, that was just a big thing. I do think Bad Bunny's gonna have a whole section dedicated to saying fuck ice. I think the choreography and dancing may say ice. I. I think he may wear a dress. I think he's gonna. He's gonna push the envelope with everything that's happening right now.

[Baby D]

Do you think his viewership beats out last year?

[Maul]

Year easy. You know how many Latin countries are tuning in for this?

[Rory]

That that's the cheat code with everything, like how global.

[Maul]

All Latin artists have that cheat code. You know how many Latin speaking countries there are like.

[Rory]

But you have to think, though, Mole. They are competing with the Turning Point Kid Rock show.

[Maul]

That's Sunday too.

[Rory]

At the same time. At the same time, they're boycotting God forbid All American. God forbid a Puerto Rican is allowed to perform.

[Maul]

Is that. Is that. Is that the thing that ludicrous turned down?

[Rory]

No, no. That was a completely different All American.

[Baby D]

Time show with Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert Lee Bryce and Gabby Barrett.

[Rory]

What a lineup.

[Maul]

Yeah, yeah, they. They about to pack Bad Bunny up. They about to pack him right up. The All Americans that's going to do numbers right there. Y' all got. Y' all got. Y' all got the All American halftime show up.

[Rory]

Does Erica Kirk.

[Maul]

Does she host Erica Kirk? Don't do that.

[Rory]

See, is she. Is she the. Is she the MC Light of turn?

[Maul]

No, she's not. She's not.

[Rory]

And now to the stage.

[Baby D]

Rock.

[Rory]

Kid Rock.

[Maul]

Chris Rock.

[Rory]

I can't even speak.

[Baby D]

Him too.

[Maul]

Chris Rock. Damn. You think Chris Rock is coming out for the All American avatar?

[Rory]

I was more proud of myself getting a good MC like Cadence on it that I said the wrong name.

[Maul]

So do we, do we do think that Bad Bunny is going to have a political statement?

[Rory]

Oh, absolutely.

[Baby D]

Obviously.

[Rory]

Absolutely.

[Maul]

Trump did for Puerto Rico with The paper towels. Huh? This is how y' all repaying.

[Rory]

He tried to nuke the hurricane.

[Maul]

This is how y' all repaying.

[Rory]

I, I do. And we, we don't have to get into any of that. I do hope that everything is safe outside at the stadium because obviously they've been very vocal that ice will be checking your tickets on the way.

[Maul]

Checking your tickets. What the Literally ice scanning your tickets.

[Rory]

Ticket at the stadium is so I, I really do pray that everything this does not become violent or a a complete spectacle propaganda machine on this whole. And, and this is actually the one time I just kind of hope football Footballs.

[Maul]

Yeah, I think it'll be all right.

[Rory]

But, but I, I, I do think Bad Bunny would would definitely do something with how vocal he's been about the entire thing. I don't think he's going to take this opportunity to now be quiet about his political stances. So, you know, you'll have a bunch of think pieces on Monday morning that have nothing to do with the game.

[Baby D]

I need to go to a Hispanic household to really enjoy the super propo. Like, I don't want to be with no like I need to be with the people who understand what the he's saying. Like, I need to be that I need that type of energy.

[Rory]

The way I.

[Maul]

Say these Te say cheese.

[Rory]

Eat.

[Maul]

That's my. I don't know what he's saying.

[Rory]

I think it sound like you said he takes the sats. That's what I caught from here. Feet.

[Maul]

You're gonna need someone like the way selfie say cheese. That's all I know. Selfie say cheese. That's all I know. Good line. Ip ip ip. Oh, Edit.

[Rory]

He owns his IP marijuana.

[Maul]

He definitely doing that by Bunny Bonnie Marijuana.

[Rory]

But I'm laughing at Damaris needing to like I get you for the, for the moment to be around Spanish people to, to grab that that feeling. But for them to explain every word to you the way you read the cold like nah, just let them enjoy the. They don't got to translate in real time.

[Baby D]

I don't need them to translate. I just know they're going to have the type of energy I want.

[Rory]

You need to be around Spanish people for the.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I want to go up.

[Maul]

Yeah, I'm going to the Bronx. I'm going go watch the game in the Bronx homies crib.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Maul]

Come on. You coming up town. You ain't coming up town.

[Baby D]

What do we all go up town. I used to go up. I used to go uptown for she.

[Maul]

Used to be A.

[Baby D]

Stop saying that.

[Rory]

What's funny is I'm not joking.

[Baby D]

I need you to stop saying that.

[Maul]

But you like Wayne. You got the red hair now like Wayne did. He used to be Crip.

[Rory]

And no, you want your 21 savage. You dropped your flag. Yeah, like you just fucking streets.

[Maul]

Damaris dropped your flag.

[Rory]

Drop your flag. Challenge with Damaris.

[Maul]

Damaris, you dropped your flag. Nah, that's honorable. I respect that. That's honorable. You don't need to be in the streets no more. You don't need to be in the streets no more. Baby D, put that flag down. Put the flag. I would love to see. I wish I could time travel. Just see Baby D like when she was 19, 20 in them streets. I just want to see what you. Cuz I know you was all the way a bird. I know you.

[Baby D]

I was not a bird at 19.

[Maul]

Wait, but did we. Didn't we see a video of Baby D dancing barefoot outside somewhere?

[Rory]

[Maul]

You was a reformer. 19.

[Baby D]

I wasn't a bird.

[Maul]

What was you? How Was you at 19?

[Baby D]

I was always a thug, not a bird. I feel like a bird is different. Like, bird is like. I was never that.

[Maul]

Oh, okay.

[Baby D]

I was just like a little hood.

[Maul]

Like, I was a little hood rat.

[Baby D]

Yeah. My, my. When I was 19, I think my name on IG was trap guy. Hov.

[Maul]

[Rory]

[Baby D]

And speaking of y' all calling me a bird, I just want to let you know that the. The. For once, the comments were on my side. They was on Major and Mitch ass.

[Rory]

You're calling them a bird? No, I'm of them can fight.

[Baby D]

I am not.

[Rory]

Neither of them would ever drop their flag.

[Baby D]

Don't come women of color against each other.

[Maul]

Pitting women of color against each other. What they were saying in the comments.

[Baby D]

But in the comments, they were calling Mitch and Major. They were talking about them because they said that they would stay through cheating and that I feel like that Was them being honest? A lot of women won't say that out loud. They were being honest about it.

[Maul]

All right, well, Mitch. Mitch and Major's on their way now, and we gonna let them know what they saying about them in the comments. They on y' all ass. Yeah, Mitch and Major, they gonna be on y' all ass.

[Rory]

That is because we all know women that have caught multiple times and they will lie.

[Maul]

Women ain't leaving. We see them all the time on Social. When y' all date these football players and these basketball players and these rappers, and they be running y' all through the mud. Get a girl pregnant on y'. All. Y' all still stay. So they lying.

[Maul]

[Maul]

Women will stay for man cheats, depending on who the man is. I don't know why we gotta not.

[Baby D]

All women, but sometimes I don't judge.

[Maul]

Okay? I'm never putting all women in one box. I'm just saying women will.

[Baby D]

No, but humans. I just feel like that's a human thing. Like, that's why it'd be so many men. Like, men are king of. I don't want to know. I'm not going through no phone.
