Yeah, what's wrong with that?

[Baby D]

Yo, y' all be wanting to be too serious. Yo, we not Barbara Walters in them.

[Baby D]

[Rory]

Who I'm trying to be?

[Baby D]

You trying to be Baby D. I.

[Rory]

Am being Baby D. Not trying.

[Baby D]

You ain't see the new Baby dude clip with Mike eps. Baby D is back. You seen you a see the clip they put out?

[Mall]

No.

[Baby D]

They shot like a. A skit.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Baby D]

Mike Eps and Baby D. I'm going have her own cleaners now. She got her own business.

[Mall]

Really?

[Baby D]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Mall]

Cleaned herself up. That's. I like hearing those. Those endings to those.

[Baby D]

Clean herself. She wasn't dirty before that.

[Mall]

She was throwing bricks through windshield.

[Baby D]

She cleaned herself up. She might still throw a brick through.

[Mall]

Your windshield at the cleaners. Is it across from Pinky or is the location where Pinky's records was?

[Baby D]

I'm not sure where it's at because.

[Mall]

That would be a full circle moment.

[Baby D]

That was dope to see lady of Rage and Mike Eps do a clip like that.

[Rory]

We're going to have to find Rest.

[Mall]

In Peace to Roach.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Rest in Peace. Yeah.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

That was sad to hear that.

[Mall]

That was definitely sad. Well, we are back sponsored by Boost. I. I don't know if I want to have the conversation. You just said.

[Baby D]

Why y' all never want to have conversations about your friends?

[Rory]

No, cuz.

[Baby D]

And who's the better rapper between y' all friends?

[Mall]

Shout out. Because I don't really know if I have an answer for that. No, genuinely, I really don't know if I have an answer for that.

[Baby D]

You want to go. Do they discog?

[Mall]

They disagg the disog.

[Rory]

Are we naming the friends?

[Mall]

I mean.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I hit the clock.

[Mall]

I think that was the rolling start of Peach.

[Baby D]

I asked who's the better rapper between Simba or Reason? Because I loved. I love the. The record that Simba dropped in response to, you know, J. Cole's Young Simba line.

[Mall]

Yeah, I thought it was great, too.

[Baby D]

No, Simba killed that. That was like, very, very dope. I was. I was. I ain't going to lie. I was actually surprised. I know Simba can rap, but the way he did that, the way he put that together, that was really dope. So I was.

[Mall]

They're both.

[Baby D]

I Was trying to start Friend Beef.

[Mall]

They're both rappers that can make songs. That's tough. Usually people that are good at the freestyle thing can't make a song for their life. Both can make songs. That's why I'm kind of. I like the. The comparisons when I can do the cop out, like, well, n. He could rap better, but he makes better music. I don't have that cop out here.

[Baby D]

Okay, so what you think, baby?

[Mall]

And now I know I don't listen.

[Rory]

To enough Simba to know the difference, to be able to judge him against reason.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Rory]

I'm like, y', all, I'm a loyal friend, so I'm riding with my dog, unlike.

[Baby D]

Wait, wait, that was a shot. I know shots when I hear shots. Unlike us, then duck. You're a loyal friend. What that mean?

[Rory]

Just saying.

[Baby D]

I'm not loyal.

[Rory]

I'm loyal to my friends. I would never put them. I would never pit two bad against each other.

[Mall]

You just called your friend a bad.

[Rory]

He is a bad. Have you seen reason?

[Baby D]

That was.

[Mall]

I don't know what that means.

[Rory]

No, not like that. Not like that.

[Mall]

We've been at a Vegas pool together. I didn't think anything.

[Rory]

No, I'm talking about, like. Did you see, like, on his story when Cole dropped. Yo, yo.

[Baby D]

What? He said, see, this is not a.

[Mall]

Loyal friend snitching on your friend.

[Rory]

This was his story. This? No, this one. You know, the little.

[Baby D]

How did I feel about that one? Did y'.

[Rory]

All.

[Baby D]

Did you ask him about it?

[Mall]

Of course.

[Baby D]

How do you feel about it?

[Mall]

You should ask him.

[Baby D]

I know what that means, but.

[Mall]

No, that's not an answer. Don't do that.

[Baby D]

It's an answer.

[Mall]

I don't want to speak for a reason.

[Rory]

That nigga said on his little. You know, the little note you can have, he said, why is it so cold outside? Oh, my God. Omg.

[Baby D]

Reese is, like, a big Cole fan.

[Mall]

Cole's one of his favorite rappers. He's been public about that.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I said, this is gay. Stop. Like, you worse than me.

[Baby D]

Oh, so reason is the reason why Cole didn't respond to Kendrick?

[Rory]

That's crazy. That's a crazy rumor to put on my friend. That's a crazy rumor to put on my friend.

[Baby D]

Reason is tde.

[Rory]

Don't do that.

[Baby D]

Oh, he was tde.

[Mall]

I don't think he was TDE at that.

[Baby D]

He was.

[Rory]

He was.

[Mall]

All right, well, he was clearly on the outs with the.

[Rory]

He was begging to get the out, but he was.

[Baby D]

He was still there. He was still in the building.

[Rory]

Don't do that.

[Baby D]

He was still in the building.

[Rory]

They might have locked that out at that time.

[Mall]

N. He was at, I think still work.

[Baby D]

His key card still work. We not doing that.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Then he cut his top May cut his key card off. Yeah, don't do that. Nothing worse than when you don't know your key card cut off till you get there.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

How you think I felt at 4 o' clock in the morning? I came to upload an episode coming from the jcole concert and the door was locked.

[Mall]

Well, that's because at that time we had to change the hours with certain people's cards because this office was being used for non work related activities. Yeah.

[Baby D]

Showed up one day and it was a shindig. Almost shot everybody. It's all good.

[Mall]

Yeah, but you see the cards are back.

[Baby D]

Yeah, cards are back.

[Rory]

I need 24 hour access to this.

[Mall]

For what? The key cards. You lose.

[Baby D]

Yeah. What you need 24 hour access for?

[Rory]

Because.

[Baby D]

So you can go shake your ass, get drunk, come here, sleep, and then be like, yo, I'm. I'm at work early today. Nah, nigga, you ain't go watch. You ain't do ass smelling like vip. VIP and hookah smoke. Take your ass home and take a shot.

[Mall]

That smell when the sparkler like goes out. That nasty smell. That's what my hat smell.

[Baby D]

That's what your hair gonna be smelling like.

[Rory]

Yo, I for sure was woke up in this office one day, drunk man. I was in here looking for merch to put on. I'm like, I cannot go outside looking for merch.

[Baby D]

Funny.

[Mall]

Like, especially when you know where it is. It's only one place.

[Baby D]

N I right.

[Rory]

I had to put on that shirt that Peach had made before, before the Drake fiasco. But he had that. The Nokia shirt with all the names on the back and a little Nokia phone. I was walking around with that on smelling like the day before. Good nights though.

[Mall]

Do we think Mall slept here before? He's not gonna tell us the truth.

[Rory]

He's definitely taking a little nap.

[Baby D]

Slept like overslept overnight.

[Mall]

Yeah. Well, I guess let's define sleeping overnight. Like if you crash here for three hours because you was out, does that count as sleeping here?

[Baby D]

I never crashed here for three hours. How long I've stayed here probably like after we recorded, probably till like midnight and went home. Like, watch the. Like if I. If I watch it. If it's like a doubleheader, the west coast game is late. So if I'm watching like the west coast game, like half time, I'll leave. It's, like, midnight. But I've never, like, stayed overnight here. Hell, no. This ain't vibing. When you in here, like, late, it's scary. This shit ain't vibing. Getting the fuck out of here, like, crazy.

[Mall]

Y' all are so pussy.

[Rory]

It's scary. Especially in the dark at night. It's scary in here.

[Baby D]

Not was it scary. It was.

[Mall]

You literally have lighting.

[Baby D]

If I had. If I had, like, company with me, then, yeah, I'll stay a little longer. But, you know, I ain't never do that yet. I might. I might. I might christen the place, though. Might do that.

[Mall]

What area would you.

[Baby D]

Right.

[Mall]

Just so I would.

[Baby D]

Right here. Right here?

[Rory]

Yeah. You could bend over in that chair.

[Baby D]

It's the seat that built it all brick by brick. Right here, baby.

[Mall]

And it can spin. Oh, that'd be fun.

[Baby D]

You know what you could do? When she put her legs like this and straddle you like this. Oh, my God. You know how that goes?

[Mall]

Nothing.

[Baby D]

While he's. Just show me how to, like, give me the remote so I could have the remote while I'm, like, right here and I could just switch.

[Rory]

You could time it.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Longest 30 seconds of her life.

[Baby D]

Rock her world. Hard 29 and peach doing the switch.

[Rory]

29.

[Mall]

Switching the cameras during it would be great.

[Baby D]

No, I don't want Peaches to be here for that. You don't need to see me in that type of vulnerable position piece. Don't need to see how flexible I am.

[Rory]

Hey, come on, bro.

[Baby D]

What's flexible about a guy being, like. What's AO about a guy being flexible?

[Rory]

Flexible?

[Baby D]

How you supposed to be flexible? That's a sign of, like, good health. You supposed to be able to, like, flexible.

[Rory]

Your legs spread far apart. You can make your legs spread far.

[Baby D]

Nah, not. See, don't do that.

[Rory]

So what the is flexible about you?

[Baby D]

Flexible is just, you know, like, you able to, like, you know, hold something to kind of, like, you know, like, twist and, you know, your legs do a little more twist it, pull it.

[Mall]

Remember how exactly?

[Baby D]

Twist, pull, like, exactly.

[Mall]

That's what she was doing. Remember, like, Austin Powers legs went all the way up. That's what I think Mo was talking about.

[Rory]

I saw a video of somebody getting their ass ate, and I was like, this would the position Ma be in.

[Baby D]

Nah, don't do that, because that might not. That might not have been the position I was in.

[Rory]

The only man I know that, like, you know, openly admits to having his ass.

[Baby D]

Okay, I like that. You said that dude was like, openly admits. I like that.

[Rory]

She said that he was like this, like. But like, he was holding his leg.

[Baby D]

No, I never did that. I never went that crazy. See, I see. I never, never did that. I never did that.

[Rory]

And girl, that girl, she had, like. She was gripping the balls and, like, licking up underne. Lord, we on Netflix. I'm sorry, Auntie.

[Mall]

You'll just have to find out.

[Rory]

You'll just have to run through them anyway.

[Baby D]

You just have to find out if Damaris should.

[Mall]

Hope you guess right on the first one.

[Rory]

It's none of my friends, but Ma does. We have a mutual. And he follows her. But speaking of my friends. Ma, stop following my friends, Baby D.

[Rory]

Yeah, in the office. We were also.

[Mall]

We.

[Rory]

Yeah, we went and got drinks. Everything. We was outside.

[Baby D]

I can't remember that.

[Mall]

That's footage of you. Yeah, you already in there. She already sees you as a star, Rory. You were in her reputation as a star.

[Rory]

Crazy as fuck.

[Baby D]

Shut the hell up.

[Rory]

Yeah, as a star, as crazy.

[Baby D]

Don't ever say that. Shut up, bro. Shut up.

[Rory]

Yeah, but Mar be finding all. I always see Mar in a pretty woman. Likes I be on the Explore page. Be from Africa. They're going to mall with money bags. How you found her.

[Baby D]

Because I'm trying to. I'm trying to build the. The tunnel for us to get back to the motherland. I'm trying to show people this is exactly what you need to do and who you need to be around and where you need to go if you're ever in the motherland. It's just a trail. The money bags are just a trail. I'm just. It's like the yellow brick road. I'm just guiding you through the land of Oz. That's all.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Baby D]

That's all it is.

[Mall]

I'm a follow coin trail to. Yeah, it's just femininity.

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Rory]

He can't come.

[Baby D]

No, he has to stay home. He has Amara, and we both.

[Mall]

We would both get summer.

[Rory]

Why you got glasses on again today? What's going on with you? Somebody watching your ass?

[Baby D]

He's in his John Lennon era.

[Mall]

Like, I just read Catcher. Catcher in the Catch.

[Rory]

On the ride.

[Baby D]

Yeah. He's in his linen bag.

[Mall]

Yoko is up my ass, yo.

[Baby D]

Goes up my ass. She's up my ass like she's breaking.

[Mall]

Up the band, yo.

[Rory]

Yoko had to have some fun.

[Mall]

Oh, it had to be fire.

[Rory]

Life changing.

[Mall]

If you. If you let a chick play cowbell on Johnny Carson with the creator of Rock and Roll. Yeah, you got the. She was licking his ass is what I'm saying. Ain't no way that that. Yo.

[Rory]

That's looking puncturing. She was puncturing.

[Baby D]

Puncturing.

[Rory]

Because licking is a puncturing. How's that go It's a straight, like, tongue.

[Baby D]

Show the difference again.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm cool, actually.

[Baby D]

What's the reason I need to know. Make sure I don't want to get punctured.

[Rory]

Like, the lick is like, a swipe, but the puncture is a poke. Like, you stiffen your tongue and go in it.

[Baby D]

Yeah, now I'm cool. Don't stiffen your tongue.

[Rory]

Oh, you just want to swipe it. Ass. You don't want her to instant.

[Baby D]

You don't want the shit.

[Rory]

So that's not eating the ass. That's like.

[Mall]

Yeah, tasting it.

[Baby D]

All right, well, okay. Whatever it is, I'm free.

[Mall]

That's a sampler.

[Baby D]

Yeah. We talking about whatever it is, I'm free.

[Mall]

I'm trying to protect my eyes from these lights. It's been. It's been 10 years. Yeah.

[Baby D]

I definitely feel my vision, like, getting a little really.

[Mall]

Like I'm really not even around. My eyes, I think, have been really up from lights. Every goddamn day.

[Rory]

Damn.

[Mall]

So, you know, trying to give him a rest, but no, nobody punched me. I'm not. I'm.

[Baby D]

I'm so good.

[Mall]

I'm totally fine.

[Baby D]

All right.

[Mall]

As long as it could happen on the way out. I don't know. But I'm saying I'm not wearing them to. To hide anything. It's just.

[Baby D]

All right.

[Rory]

I just want to make sure you're not being battered.

[Baby D]

Being battered. A man being battered is always going to be funny to me.

[Rory]

It happened.

[Mall]

You think Yoko hit John for sure?

[Baby D]

Yeah. Because John was such a peaceful guy.

[Mall]

Like, she brought the war.

[Baby D]

It's always. Yeah, it's always the peaceful ones that get abused. It's like, honey, just relax. Go and just sit down. Everything's okay. I'll make you some tea while she's swinging on him, going crazy. Like, you can tell John Lennon was the.

[Rory]

But they like that, though. Do they call men, like, wild women? They do.

[Baby D]

Wild is different. Beating on me is a whole. A whole other thing like, you should not be putting your hands on.

[Mall]

Would you let me pinch you or respond to pinch?

[Rory]

Yeah, pinch.

[Baby D]

Pinch is evil. I think if you pinch a human, you've pinched a baby before.

[Mall]

When you're pinching a baby is when.

[Baby D]

The parents weren't looking. I think you definitely. I don't know why she's crying. Is it because you pinch the. Out of her just now?

[Mall]

Well, don't the doctors do that when they're born to make sure they're like.

[Rory]

No, they smack them on the ass.

[Mall]

Oh, I thought it was a pinch.

[Baby D]

Do they do that.

[Rory]

They, they, they. They. Sometimes they'll, like, pat you on your back to make sure you cry because if. Because you need to get the security.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I thought that that's okay. That's what I thought. That was always to cry.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Not for the. For you to just cry. I thought it was to clear you.

[Mall]

Well. Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

But you have to cry. Yeah. To clear.

[Baby D]

To make sure that it's all clear. All that gook.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

And all that fluid is out of there.

[Mall]

Yes. It's nasty. Yeah. It looks like some tar at one point.

[Baby D]

Tar.

[Mall]

Not tar, per se. I think. I think she was. I think she. At the same time. No. God, no. Kia did not. On the table. I know, but she did not. No, she. Amara. On both of us.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Rory]

Oh, when she was coming out.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

My baby came into the world knowing who she was. Knowing exactly who she was. Maddie knew who she was from a very young.

[Baby D]

Just on us, on them, Dude. That's what you should have played on him.

[Rory]

Hi, guys.

[Mall]

Yo. Having that play when your baby is coming up.

[Baby D]

Y' all didn't have no music playing.

[Mall]

Yeah, we do.

[Baby D]

Which type of song were you playing?

[Mall]

Bach. I'm trying to remember when, like, Amara actually came out. It was a mix between Frank and Rufus, the soul.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Mall]

Was. Was the mixture of the playlist that we had. I'm trying to remember. I was so, like, locked in. I'll have to go back to the game footage. Okay. To see what was playing at the exact time. It may have been Rufus, though.

[Rory]

If this. If the beat switch on, pyramids happen while I'm mid push, she gonna glide out.

[Mall]

And that's. That's why I loved our doctor. She came in and was like, all right. Some Frank. Finally a room I like.

[Baby D]

That's fire. It's dope to have music playing while you're giving birth. I like that. I like that idea. Yeah. It shouldn't just be, like, hearing the machines and. No, it's the doctors.

[Mall]

Like, we made sure with. With lighting candles. Like, I set up the whole. Whole vibe.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Mall]

To be a very calm.

[Rory]

Do you want to be in the room when your baby's born?

[Baby D]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

You gonna hold the leg back? Hold a knee back?

[Baby D]

Absolutely.

[Rory]

You gonna look?

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Okay. He said he would pass out.

[Baby D]

I don't want the doctor looking. I want you to turn your head, man. Yeah, I'm that. I'm that guy. Yeah, I'm looking.

[Rory]

How are you gonna catch. With his eyes closed.

[Baby D]

I got it. I got it. Just let me know when. Doc, how he gonna let you know when.

[Rory]

If his eyes closed.

[Baby D]

If I see. Once you see this, the crown, right? Once you see the head.

[Rory]

Okay. But when he go in there to check her cervix, he gonna be up to here.

[Baby D]

I'm checking the cervix.

[Mall]

No glove.

[Baby D]

It's my servant. No glove is crazy. I'm checking her with a fitted on. That's my cervix right there.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Baby D]

I'm checking my wife.

[Rory]

So how do you check it? Put your. Hold your fingers up.

[Mall]

How do you be like.

[Baby D]

I usually check it first. You start like this. You get it.

[Mall]

Just give it a little.

[Baby D]

Yeah, just a little. You know me. Yeah, get that thing nice and you know what I mean? Like, get it ready.

[Mall]

Yeah, they call that prime. Yeah, like what you do to a lawnmower.

[Baby D]

You know, we go like that. You know what I mean? You start to just like. You know, then you hit that almond that's underneath the hood right there. You start hit that almond like that. You got to get her. You know me, relax. You got to relax. A woman has to be relaxed. You can't just. That's not. You can't just go up in there and do. Come on, Doc, what you doing? And he's definitely not touching my woman like that.

[Mall]

Well, you could get a woman doctor. We had a woman doctor. Yeah, we saw, though, the guy that did the epidural. He came in and he was a little too funny. And I didn't like, stop being funny while drugging my girl. Like, you got.

[Baby D]

You got. Was it Dr. Huxtable? Was. Was the neighborhood doctor. Dr. Huxtable.

[Mall]

He had on a sweater. He didn't even have the garment that I thought he was supposed to have on.

[Baby D]

If it was. I got news. You might not like it, but I got news for you.

[Rory]

That is so not funny, but funny. Oh, shit.

[Mall]

And that patrol is somewhat of a drug mall.

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Mall]

And it was a consensual situation.

[Rory]

She probably begged for it naturally.

[Mall]

Well, no, it's part of the birth plan. Yeah, this. This was before. Well, she was in labor, but not like, it wasn't like mid Amara coming out like, yo, pass the.

[Rory]

Oh, that's. By then it's too late anyway. My birth plan. I don't want any drugs. I don't want to be in the hospital.

[Mall]

That's so cute.

[Baby D]

You want to be at home level.

[Mall]

When people say that.

[Rory]

Well, I watched my best friend gave birth to both her kids at home. No drugs. It was just us delivering her baby.

[Mall]

For real. That's beautiful.

[Baby D]

She's a warrior.

[Rory]

Yeah. The first time she was unlabeled for 24 hours. The second time, I think it was like two hours, so. But yeah, but she gave birth at home. She had a doula and a midwife. Yeah, that's what I want. I've always wanted that.

[Baby D]

Giving birth is just like. Because I remember when I was constipating, couldn't one time, and I felt like I was gonna die. So I imagine giving birth and you like two hours in labor, you like, ready for this baby to come out and you gotta just.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Wait until the baby is ready to. Nah. Because when I couldn't, I thought I was out of here and in the hospital.

[Rory]

They won't feed you. They won't feed you because just in case you have to have a C section. So they won't feed you. You could be in labor for 12 hours. They won't feed you.

[Baby D]

You just ending on liquids like water and shits.

[Rory]

Iv. Damn.

[Baby D]

God bless all the mothers out there, man.

[Rory]

Shout out to them.

[Mall]

Well, I will say with. With our birth plan, obviously we stayed for two days like, you know, you normally do. I didn't know I wasn't part of the. The plan when it came to food. We. We got to our little, like our little dorm room and they brought the menu for breakfast and everything. I was pointing out what I wanted and they were like, oh, no, no, no, no. This is fire, sir. Yeah, yeah, there's a cafeteria on two if you want to bring your debit card down there. I was like, I don't get any food.

[Baby D]

25 turkey sandwich.

[Mall]

Exactly.

[Baby D]

You can go get that 25 turkey sandwich.

[Rory]

You do. But nut like, what you here for, right?

[Mall]

I was supportive. I did the breathing stuff.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Oh, really? Yeah.

[Rory]

That's great. That was. That's so supportive.

[Mall]

Skin to skin.

[Baby D]

Speaking of supportive, Tony Yayo, Uncle Murder and Ja Rule bumped into each other on a flight the other day. Now, while this is definitely random and funny. Well, let's get to the. Let's get to the funnies first and then we can get to, like, I guess you know the more serious part of this.

[Mall]

Well, podcasts have. Have a young audience maul. You want to give the backstory of maybe why someone like a Tony yo would have an issue with Ja Rule on a Delta flight in 2026?

[Baby D]

Well, Tony Yayo is a G unit, a member of.

[Mall]

Yes.

[Baby D]

Guerrilla Unit, A member of Guerrilla Unit LLC, and obviously the Capitan is 50 Cent. 50 Cent and Ja Rule have had a feud for some years now.

[Mall]

A war of words.

[Baby D]

A war of words or a war of, you know, personal matters, not just music. It's not just a music beef. This is like a real life.

[Mall]

Well, all alleged.

[Baby D]

Allegedly. All of this is alleged.

[Mall]

We're only referring to Clapback.

[Baby D]

Alleged. Yes, we're only talking alleged here.

[Mall]

And Wangster. That's what we're talking about.

[Baby D]

So they were on a flight the other day and coming back in the Super Bowl. Yes. And Tony Yayo and Uncle Murder happened to be sitting right behind Ja Rule. This is the most. But it's not. When you think about it, this is the time that this would happen, though, of course. Like when it's All Star weekend, Super bowl, like, events where everybody is at. Nine times out of ten, you're gonna be on a flight with people that you either know in the industry or don't like in the industry or something of the sort. This just happens to be a very public beef that we've all grew up. It's crazy that we literally have all grew up, like, watching this beef and hearing this beef for years. And Uncle Murder, who I don't think Ja Rule has ever really had an issue with, but he's G unit. He's G unit, so he gotta hold the flag. He got a ride. And, you know, they had some words with Ja Rule, and, you know, they put out a video talking, you know, talking shit to Ja Rule. Ja Rule turned around, he's talking shit back. It all just seemed like, you know, just people on a flight, disagreements, arguing, whatever. But because of who it was, it was obviously like, oh, shit, this could have gotten bad. Now, if you've ever traveled, you know that if you fight or do anything in an airport, you are one of the dumbest people ever because you will be banned from flying. And I don't think that any of these gentlemen can afford to not fly or be allowed to fly.

[Mall]

I'll say they got lucky because that the first video that Yayo put up and then 50 ended up posting as well. When they were just talking from seat to seat. Yeah, whatever. That other angle that TMZ got when Uncle Murder was standing up and Ja Rule was standing up and they was yelling. I also want to, like, want to know that that young white kid, imagine entering a plane just to go home, and you see Ja Rule and Tony Yayo screaming at each other in the aisle.

[Baby D]

I think.

[Mall]

Can you just imagine? Because that. That kid. That kid looked about a little younger than me. So I'm sure he's aware of.

[Baby D]

I think he was with Ja rule, though.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Baby D]

I think he was with you.

[Mall]

Yayo kept saying that. That rule was completely by himself, I guess, by itself.

[Baby D]

Meaning, like, he doesn't have anybody, like.

[Mall]

Reinforcements in that way.

[Baby D]

You didn't have the murderers with him.

[Mall]

You have BJ with him?

[Baby D]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mall]

I mean, I, I. We can get to the funnies, but they got lucky, man. This is stupid. If I ever.

[Baby D]

Why could I get lucky, though?

[Mall]

Because I've seen people get thrown off and banned from flying on any airline for less than this. And the fact that the three of these gentlemen literally depend. Well, let me not say depend, but a huge part of their income is the ability to travel at any time. And you lose that over a yelling match. That's the dumbest shit ever. I don't have any ops or any beef. If I did, or if someone thinks we do and we see each other on a plane, you have every right to get on a podcast on your Instagram and call me for not saying anything. If I have an issue with you and we are on an airplane, I am not going to say anything. I will be on my phone minding my business call. You can go and call me.

[Baby D]

I'm not.

[Mall]

Yo, he was dead quiet. He ain't say nothing.

[Baby D]

I'm not airport.

[Mall]

I'm not fighting nowhere in an airport.

[Baby D]

I'm not on a plane. I'm not getting banned from airport. It's not happening.

[Mall]

Losing that part of your life, no way is devastating. Over. Listen, if you want to say something at my seat, hey, can we set up a time in a location between each other? Let's exchange numbers. We could settle this after we get off the plane and out of any tsa, any federal area.

[Baby D]

We can go soon as we land at jfk, wherever these gentlemen was headed, I promise you, we can go to the local gas station right down the street. Because you got to be off. You gotta be off airport property. You gotta be even. If you right outside the airport and fight, like you can get in trouble for that. We gonna go one exit down and let's get it shaking. But I'm not fighting nobody on an airplane or in an airplane. It's not happening. I don't care how much beef we got. Only thing worse than losing your privilege to fly is losing custody of your kids.

[Rory]

Nah, the flying might be worse.

[Baby D]

And flying might be worse.

[Mall]

Because if you have custody of your kids and you can't fly, what's the point of parenting?

[Baby D]

I'm a terrible dad. If I got my kids and we can't fly, Nowhere. I'm a shitty dad. Like how your dad can't fly.

[Mall]

I'm glad this didn't go even more left, because when you land at jfk, Yayo is from Southside, Ja Rule's from Hollis. Uncle Murder's from East New York. All three of these places are within five minutes of JFK airport. Yeah, you're landing in their neighborhoods.

[Baby D]

Yeah, we home.

[Mall]

We home.

[Baby D]

There.

[Mall]

East New York is to the left.

[Baby D]

Both got a whole south side home field advantage now. Like, which I want to do. I'm just glad that they, you know, again, words and arguing. We understand that. But I knew that none of those gentlemen was gonna throw a punch on that flight. That's not happening. They are not. Yayo murdered. Ja. They've been traveling for years. They know good and goddamn well we can't fight on this plane. It's not happening. Well, Yayo could crack jokes and record and talk shit. Oh, we could do that the whole flight, but we not gonna fight.

[Mall]

Yayo did say. Cause he gave a recap on Vlad. He did say during the whole.

[Baby D]

Why did Yayo do that?

[Mall]

I. I didn't.

[Baby D]

Don't Yayo Murder have a podcast now?

[Mall]

Which. They ended up talking about it on their show as well. But, yeah, they get given the exclusive. That's not a hate at Vlad whatsoever. He. He could have went on say Cheese. Anything. I would have been like, why is Yayo giving that up to him? But he has a relationship with Vlad, and Vlad probably paid well for it. He did say that he was trying to be the one in between. He was making his jokes and saying, suck my dick to Job, but he was telling murder like. Like we're on a flight dog. No. No more caviar pancakes. If this goes down, like, it's over.

[Baby D]

Not even. I don't even think you could fly private.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Baby D]

Once you get on 50 while 50 is flying private, like, I don't. You. I don't even think you can get on that. That flight anymore.

[Mall]

The reports were made. It sound like Ja was kind of not the aggressor, I think is the wrong word. But was the first one to say something like, yo, what's up? Because again, I think. Which is kind of crazy because John50 had been on a plane before where we heard both stories. Three sides to everything. Who knows what the fuck happened? But the only commonality in all of their stories was nothing happened. 50 kept to himself. Jock kept to himself. Nobody's doing nothing. They both made jokes back and forth of what they was Thinking, making eye contact. Yo, I got up for the bathroom. He was like, yo, started getting scared. But neither of y' all did anything because you're smart enough not to fight on an airplane.

[Baby D]

Yeah, man. Can't be fighting on an airplane. But I do.

[Mall]

Throwing a pillow at somebody, though, is fucking.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's. He's. I threw a pillow at him. Cause he's soft. Get it?

[Mall]

Having a pillow fight on the plane is. And in Jaws defense, though, and I'm not trying to big league you guys, because, you know, I fly first class. That pillow that they initially put right there, I sometimes want to just throw at the other seat. It's a very inconvenient pillow.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Like, I can't even sit down when.

[Mall]

I get on the plane. So if your enemy is behind you and you have the opportunity, like, to get that pillow instead of putting it by your feet.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Yale's getting whatever.

[Baby D]

And you can easily say, no. I was trying to put it up here, and it just, like, it just flew. It went to the back seat. Yeah, it went to the seat behind me.

[Mall]

But I. When they first posted it, I thought it was kind of funny. I know there's a real history behind it, but it seemed like it was just a funny. Like, what you gonna do for us? Like, just funny shit. That other angle, I kind of thought it got corny.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

When you stand up this and that. But, I mean, why don't I ever get on these flights, man, you would.

[Baby D]

Have got on that flight. You would have tried to defuse it.

[Mall]

No.

[Rory]

Yes, you would have. Yes, would have. Roy would have been like, guys, come on, dog. You got a podcast now. That's what.

[Baby D]

You got a podcast now is hilarious. You got a podcast.

[Mall]

All right, well, hear me out.

[Baby D]

You got a podcast now. You can't keep fighting.

[Mall]

I am outside of our volume. Loyalty. Congrats to Yayo and Uncle Murder for joining the squad. We'll put that over there. My loyalty to Colin. Let's put that over here.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Mall. I might have been the only one that would have been able to squash it, because my roots of even getting into the industry come from shot money and G Unit.

[Baby D]

That's.

[Mall]

That's where I. I give all credit to Major Bones.

[Baby D]

Major Bones.

[Mall]

By going to the corner store to get them roll up.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

On Liberty Avenue. So I have a strong loyalty. Even if shy and 50 are not in the best place or whatever, that's still Haleem in them. Those are my mentors, but I have a very cordial and great relationship. With Ja Rule, with Chris Gotti, with members of the Supreme Team. I think I'm the only one that could have diffused the whole thing, because I'm. Both sides respect me, so saying both.

[Baby D]

Sides respect me is a lot.

[Rory]

Yeah, you far unest.

[Baby D]

You would have caught an elbow right in your nose. Your would have blew open like tomato soup. You'd have been on that flight looking.

[Mall]

You think I would have tried to diffuse that?

[Baby D]

Yeah, I think so. I think you would have got up.

[Rory]

And like, well, that's definitely.

[Baby D]

Fellas, fellas, fellas.

[Mall]

You know what? Actually, I really might have.

[Rory]

I know Rory would have. Nah, bro, come on, bro.

[Baby D]

Nah. No, bullshit. I would have. Like, if I was sitting first class, I would have, like, yo, come on. Yeah, y' all tripping. Y' all can't do this.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Now, if I would have seen them get up and they saw. Look like they get. I'm not jumping in the middle of that shit.

[Rory]

I don't want nobody to mistake me.

[Baby D]

I'm not jumping. I'd have been like. I would have said. When it was words, I'd have been like, yo, y', all, chill. Y'. All. Y' all tripping like we on a federal. This is federal property. We on right now. Y' all can't do nothing on this flight. Everybody relax. Just chill the fuck out. Go to that Dunkin Donuts one exit away from JFK when we get off the flight, and then. And then we can talk like. But on this flight, y' all niggas better relax. Put a movie on your screen, nigga, watch some. Put your headphones on something.

[Mall]

Wait, but was ja. Cause I know it was murder and yayo in the 2 and 2. Does it go 2, 1, 2, or is it 2, 2?

[Baby D]

It's 2, 1, 2.

[Mall]

Because I was about to say, like, what if you just happen to be that empty seat, like, it's rule murder Yayo, and then you walk on the plane, like, now, I don't even want to deal with that. I want to go to sleep.

[Baby D]

I'm still.

[Mall]

Right?

[Baby D]

But I would definitely be like, hey, listen, fellas, this shit cute. Cut this shit. Not on this flight, man. I cannot. But. But they knew that, though, all the words and all of that. We know what that is. That's just because we see some people recording this. That the third. Nobody want to look like they got punked or anything like that. We know what that's about. But I can promise you that all three of these gentlemen are very, very well aware of where they were. And what could not happen. And they knew they could not fight on that plane.

[Mall]

Okay, what if in that scenario, Ma Yayo throws the pillow back and rule because, you know, he's agile, ducks it and it hits you.

[Baby D]

That's okay. I got an extra pillow.

[Mall]

Okay?

[Baby D]

I got an extra pillow.

[Mall]

I'm not gonna take that personal.

[Baby D]

I got an extra pillow, fam.

[Rory]

Oh, I don't give a fuck.

[Baby D]

I'm not. Listen, man, I gotta. I'm not doing nothing on no flight. All right, cool. It's a pillow. I'll take it. Y' all better sit down though. I know that. Cause if the boys in the uniform walk on this flight, everybody's.

[Rory]

I'm pointing.

[Mall]

I'm just trying to think how I would have tried to defe. Use that. Let's settle on the black top, fellas.

[Baby D]

Let's settle on the black top. They would have punched himself. Rory definitely would have got like, who is this?

[Mall]

Let's do a dance battle.

[Baby D]

But I do hope that they find a way. Even though this is a real personal. In this years and years, I don't think that the.

[Rory]

The.

[Baby D]

The beef between Ja and 50 will ever be squashed. No, but.

[Mall]

And not one of those. It shouldn't. It's just. Everyone can just coexist and.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Just coexist.

[Mall]

Not everything needs to be kumbaya. Just avoid each other.

[Baby D]

Just avoid each other as opp. Obviously we can't. You don't know who you're gonna end up on a flight with. So this just happened to be like just, you know, a wild coincidence that they were on the same flight. But yeah, man, I'm glad nothing happened. And, you know, hopefully these guys are okay. Everybody can go home to their families and still be able to fly and travel the world and make. Make the money that they've been making. And you know, it made for a good viral moment.

[Rory]

No worrying now.

Segregation was the law, one mysterious black club owner had his own rules. We didn't worry about what went on outside. It was like stepping in another world. Inside Charlie's Place, black and white people danced together. But not everyone was happy about it. You saw the kkk. Yeah, they was dressed up in their uniform. The KKK set out to raid Charlie, take him away from here.

[Mall]

I was confused. After I watched Yayo's. His take on the entire thing. The conversation switched. Did Rule not go back on the flight after they all got pulled off the flight?

[Baby D]

I think he got pulled off.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Damn.

[Baby D]

Then he got pulled.

[Mall]

Now you're in. Just in San Fran.

[Baby D]

I mean, it's not a bad city to be in.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

What's. What's some of the most random people you've been on a flight with?

[Baby D]

Remember the first person I was on a flight growing up, I was on the flight with Sade I met shot.

[Mall]

Amazing.

[Baby D]

Yeah. I don't know if y' all remember. Y' all remember Chub Rock? Y' all remember Chub Rock?

[Mall]

Of course.

[Baby D]

Remember Chub Rock? I actually sat next to Chubb Rock on a flight one time.

[Mall]

That's really cool.

[Baby D]

Regina King.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Baby D]

She was on my flight during COVID I think I was going to. Coming from LA to New York.

[Rory]

Fine is fine as Fox.

[Mall]

Gina King.

[Baby D]

The. What's the mom from what's. What's the. What's the movie with the. I call it. I call it the. The female version of Wedding crashes.

[Rory]

Girls trip.

[Baby D]

Bridesmaids.

[Mall]

Bridesmaids.

[Baby D]

But it was the. It was the best friend. Remember the one that she was battling? It was the. It was the broke bestie. And then it was the bestie that had money. Yeah, the bestie that had money. I was on a flight with her.

[Mall]

Oh, she's in a lot of stuff.

[Baby D]

Yeah, she was. She was on a flight with her family. They were sitting right behind me.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Biggs.

[Baby D]

Name it.

[Mall]

My brothers, we didn't know each other at the time. To me, it was seeing a celebrity. No more.

[Rory]

Who were we on the flight with that one time when we were going to Atlanta? It was a celebrity. We were all in first class.

[Mall]

We were going to press by Russ on a plane once.

[Rory]

It wasn't Russ. It wasn't Russ. It was. It was a black dude. I can't remember.

[Baby D]

Was it Michael Bivens?

[Rory]

Possibly. Yes.

[Baby D]

I was on a flight with Michael Bins. I remember that one. Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah, I think that might have been it.

[Baby D]

Michael Bivens.

[Mall]

Oh, actually, you know, I take that back. I've been on a flight leaving Essence Festival Palooza in New Orleans. I was on a flight with Michael Bivens.

[Rory]

Yeah, I think it be flying.

[Baby D]

I mean, it's Michael Bivens. You got business.

[Mall]

Trying to think. I haven't. My mother one time sent me a photo on the plane and said, Stedman's on my flight. And I said, mom, only you would recognize Steadman.

[Rory]

First of all, I would recognize that.

[Mall]

I had to ask who it was. I was like, why are you sending me photo of this whole black. You wouldn't recognize Steadman?

[Baby D]

Why would I recognize Steven Steadman?

[Mall]

You could put two people right here. I wouldn't know which one was Steadman.

[Baby D]

You could put one person right here.

[Rory]

Y' all don't know what Steadman look like? That's crazy to me.

[Baby D]

No, I really do. I couldn't tell you what he looked.

[Mall]

Like, which I've told on the pod, other than that I was waiting at baggage claim with J r Smith and 88 Keys and a pod fan came up and said, this is the craziest trio I've ever seen in my life.

[Baby D]

Fire, bro.

[Rory]

How would y' all not recognize Steadman?

[Baby D]

Fam, that's Stedman.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Baby D]

Fam wouldn't know who that.

[Mall]

He looked black in the photo my mom sent.

[Rory]

He is black. He's just a light skinned black.

[Mall]

Okay?

[Baby D]

I would not know that. He looks like every.

[Mall]

Looks like Dr. Phil.

[Baby D]

He's like every math teacher I've ever had in my life.

[Rory]

I cannot. That's crazy to me. I don't know. I guess that's crazy to me that y' all wouldn't recognize Steadman. Like, that's. I would recognize Steadman anymore now if.

[Baby D]

You put him next to Oprah, I would recognize him.

[Mall]

There's only one person is allowed next to Oprah. It's that or Gail. So. And who's. Doesn't she have some other lesbian lover?

[Rory]

I think. I thought they said Gail was the lesbian.

[Mall]

Oh, was it Gail? Oh, either way. But yeah, I haven't had like crazy luck with, with flights like that.

[Rory]

That's luck. I wouldn't want to be next to a celebrity on a fight because I don't want you feeling like I'm checking for you. Because I'm not checking for you. You see what I'm saying? So now I gotta really look like I'm not checking for you, even though naturally I'm not checking for you. Like, I don't want you to feel checked. Checked for.

[Mall]

They're probably like either focused on what they're doing.

[Baby D]

Checked for is hilarious. I've been on. I've been on a flight going to LA one time and was sitting right across some. What's the porn star's name?

[Rory]

The midget? Oh, no, that was a different one.

[Baby D]

She was sitting behind me.

[Rory]

Oh, okay.

[Baby D]

I found out she's an only fans model.

[Mall]

A little person. Yeah, okay, nice.

[Rory]

Sorry.

[Baby D]

It was. It was some porn star. She was sitting right across from me and I felt crazy. Cause I was like, you know when you seen the little person leave the lay back. When you seen what at that. I'm sorry, Pete, what are you talking about?

[Rory]

He said that a little person get the lay back. He's an. He's an.

[Baby D]

I forgot the porn star's name. But it's crazy. I like, she's a. Like a porn star. Seeing her work, like, so. So to see a porn star, like, on your flight that you've seen, like, in craziest scenes of all time, sucking seven dicks. And now she's just sitting there, like, reading a book. You, like, what are you doing?

[Mall]

Like, hair pulled back, glasses on.

[Baby D]

What are you doing? Like, why are you doing that? Why are you reading a book?

[Mall]

Like, not why. Why are you doing your career? Why are you reading a book?

[Baby D]

Why are you reading. Why are you reading a book telling.

[Mall]

A porn star, you don't have to do this to reading a book.

[Baby D]

You shouldn't be doing this. You shouldn't be on a flight reading a book.

[Rory]

But see, would you. Do you think it's weird to say, like, how Rory did the nas. Like, you changed my life, like, your work changed my life to a porn star?

[Baby D]

I mean, if we weren't on a flight, I would have said that too.

[Mall]

That's sick.

[Rory]

Yeah. Cause a flight is weird. Cause y' all kind of, like, stuck there now.

[Baby D]

It's like, I'm the weird guy on a flight now. Yeah, but, like, once we get our bags, I could, like, hit her with a walk by, like, you change my life and keep moving. Like. Yeah, it's like, I'm going, I'm leaving the airport. I'm.

[Rory]

If I see Kieran Noir, I have to say. I have to say something. I can't just let her just walk by.

[Baby D]

What would you say to Kieran Noir?

[Mall]

You know, she traveled with the hammer, she get it signed.

[Baby D]

Yo, look what he put out. Getting the dildo signed is crazy. And where do you get it signed at? Like, yo, getting the dildo signed is crazy.

[Rory]

Telling people I travel with the hammer is crazier. Like. Cause what if people believe you?

[Baby D]

Yo, yo, pulling out the strap on getting his son.

[Rory]

It's crazy.

[Mall]

Okay, but yeah, if you're. If you're at bat day, you wouldn't want Derek J. To sign the bat Bas Jordan signs basketballs. Why wouldn't she sign, you know, part of her. Her repertoire?

[Baby D]

Yeah, but that's not what her signing the dildo is like. That's not. What is that?

[Mall]

Like, that doesn't mean it's memorabilia. The same way with any other art.

[Rory]

The ink is going to, like, water off. Like, it's not going to stay there.

[Mall]

You use it again.

[Rory]

No, I. I wouldn't do it to begin with. Stop putting things on me. I wouldn't do it to begin with. But now I just wrote, what if it was my favorite? It's the only one I got on me.

[Baby D]

Take a picture with Kira. Noir or video. You would have to.

[Rory]

Or a date. See if you're available.

[Baby D]

I mean, listen, hey, that's. I don't like women, though.

[Rory]

I don't like asking for a picture. I think that that's weird. I would just be like, yo, I love you. Just keep it moving.

[Baby D]

What if she, like, show me how much you love me. You look at you. Fumble. You wouldn't even know how to respond.

[Rory]

No, I know how to respond. I ain't going to tell y' all on this podcast.

[Baby D]

Why not?

[Rory]

No, I'm not.

[Baby D]

We know you gay, baby D. Like, what you mean? Like, we know that already about you. You're not hiding. You're not giving us no information. Like, we know that you would take up on an offer and a lot. I would be mad if you didn't. I'd be like, yo, she said what? And you didn't. Like, you didn't give her the. Addie. You didn't drop the pen.

[Rory]

Can you get kicked out of the airport? Can you? Okay, so I know fighting in the airport, but, like. Like, if you have lesbian sex in the airport bathroom, can you get off the flight list?

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Mall]

You. You get kicked out of Starbucks for that.

[Baby D]

You'll get banned from McDonald's for that. What are you talking about? Yeah. Yes. Yes. If you get caught having sex in the airport.

[Rory]

But people be doing the Mile High Club all the time. Nobody ever says anything, but they don't get caught.

[Mall]

Yeah, if they get caught, they get caught.

[Baby D]

They're banned.

[Mall]

Like, yeah, we're landing in Minneapolis.

[Baby D]

Like, as soon as you land, you know when you get off the plane and you hit that. That walkway?

[Rory]

I think there's plenty of fight attendance.

[Mall]

That's worth it, though.

[Rory]

I think there's plenty of flight attendants that know that people be in the bathrooms and.

[Baby D]

Oh, they know to themselves 100.

[Mall]

They just mind their business.

[Baby D]

They know. But it's like, you know. You know, if there's a flight attendant. If it's a cool fight, you're like, yo, listen man, don't. Don't go in there again like, y' all tripping. But you ain't gonna be like, yo, when we land some officers wanting to talk to you as soon as you get off the flight. Don't. You ain't gonna be that person. Like, yeah, it's just a couple having sex.

[Mall]

Yeah, I've heard like a lot of musicians, celebrities, whatever. Hate when people be like, yo, I love your work, but don't say what. And they appreciate the fans that like give in depth answers. Like, I love track six off your third album.

[Rory]

So what were you gonna say about Nas? Which one? Which was the. The life defining track?

[Mall]

Oh, just his overall existence. Which. Which scenes would you bring up to her? Just to like, just to show you a real fan. You're just not somebody that sees like a fake. Just wants to give a selfie. So it'll be, you know, go on Instagram.

[Rory]

It will reveal too much about me. So I'm gonna keep that to myself.

[Baby D]

Okay. But yeah, but you always talk about Kiranoir though. You love Karen.

[Rory]

I do. Kiranoir. Skin Diamond. I have a type, apparently.

[Baby D]

Skin diamond and Carol Noir.

[Mall]

Are you more her pre fake tits or post fake?

[Rory]

Titus Priya is fine. Yo, Jack Harlow is dropping an album. Baby Keem too.

[Baby D]

Jack Harlan. When Jack dropping no single March 13th.

[Mall]

That's enough time for a single. I don't think Jack is. Is just putting out an album. So we're called Monica, right? Correct. Did he give any context of who Monica is in his life? Is that a significant other? Is that a family member? Is that a singer that did a tour with Brandy? Do we have any context of what that Lewinsky. I'm assuming because he's white.

[Baby D]

No. That is an interesting name. I mean, I mean, I'm guessing it's a particular about a particular woman.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

I can't see Jack Harlow just naming Monica just to name it that.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Well, what do we think? Jack is taking some time off. I like the record with Dave. He's put out some freestyles while he's been living in New York.

[Baby D]

Jack all always has good albums though. I don't think Jack Harlow's ever put out like a trash album.

[Mall]

I agree with you. It's just a. It's a different. Not roll out per se, but it's a different energy now than Come home, the kids miss you. With the three smash records he had and pause Jackman, that was more of a mixtape like, he was. He was just trying to put music out in between. That wasn't really.

[Baby D]

What was the name of the song he did when he was walking through the. Was it Manhattan?

[Mall]

I. I didn't mean freestyle, per se. Tranquility was the name and had a video. But then he had to set you free joint right after that. And then if you guys forgot, he had the Doja Cat record just us, which. Which I thought was fire. I mean, I didn't particularly like, you know, Drama and Lake kind of being the leads as far as the video vixens in there. I feel like we should have focused more on Doja Cat, but, I mean, I see the vision.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

But I like that record a lot. It felt like between those three records, because Tranquility's a year ago. Set you free 11 months. Just us, 10 months. Hello, Ms. Johnson. Like, it felt like he was about to roll a project out and then kind of just chilled. So I'm not sure if those even are part of this rollout or what he's. He's trying to do.

[Baby D]

But. But we are expecting a single from this album.

[Mall]

Yeah. Between now and March 13th. I. I would say, too, like, a month out. Yeah. I would say we'd get a single probably next week and then maybe another record week of the album or week before. But, yeah, I don't. I can't see Jack on this go round not trying to utilize a single.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

But that's what I thought the Doja Cat joint was.

[Baby D]

I'm looking forward to it. I like Jack. I think he makes good music, good albums, so I want to see what the team cooked up. Anticipate. I'm not gonna say I'm anticipating it, but I. I'm looking forward to it.

[Mall]

What does anticipate mean? I'm just curious.

[Rory]

Like, you.

[Mall]

I don't want to answer you.

[Rory]

Like, you checking for it. Like, you like, damn, yo. Like, when you watching this, you like, damn, you're that Jack Alb.

[Baby D]

No, no, I've never said that. I've never washed dishes and said that Jack album was coming.

[Mall]

I probably washed dishes to a Jack album.

[Baby D]

But Jack was playing. But I never was anticipating the album. Like, while I'm busting suds. Like, yeah, that Jack album is a month out. Like, I've never done that bus and.

[Mall]

Says to Jackman is crazy.

[Baby D]

Like, no, I've never done that. But he does make good albums. He makes good projects.

[Mall]

So, yeah, I'm curious what. What direction he goes with with this one based off the last two projects. Because they were drastically different. Do you think he stays in? I mean, he hit it with. With those recognizable samples. Chipmunkey. Does he stay there? If it's not broke, don't fix it. Does he stay in the same thing? Do we get a whole new sound from Jack?

[Baby D]

I don't know, man. I think he should not stay in the same, you know, vibe that. That the other projects and albums were giving us. But, like, he has to still be jacked, though. You gotta still be jack on his songs. But he does great with features, like. So I'm interested to see who he worked with on the album, like, who he has on the album with him.

[Rory]

Yeah, I need a bop. I need a jack bop.

[Baby D]

Oh, he gave you that.

[Mall]

The Doja Cat was. Was boppish. I mean, it wasn't like the nail tech shit, but it was still somewhat of a bop.

[Rory]

Stop.

[Baby D]

I can't wait to catch her show.

[Rory]

Who does?

[Baby D]

You what then? She's here. She's in New York the end of the year. I think she does Europe first and then comes to America.

[Mall]

I need to anticipate in December, in February.

[Baby D]

You know, I love Doja Cat, and I'm mad I missed her last runs.

[Rory]

Are you gonna go see Cardi? Cardi starts tour in a couple days.

[Baby D]

Am I gonna go see Cardi? No.

[Rory]

No. Okay.

[Mall]

I'm cool. Not anything against Cardi. I'm just not gonna go.

[Baby D]

Yeah, Like, I would. I don't. I don't know Cardi's music enough like that to go to the show. I like listening to Doja for real.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Baby D]

So. And then her last project was 80s all the way through. That's, you know, my vibe. So I'm looking. And how, like, just her stage show, all of that is like, you know, she's. Doja's that type of artist that I think you have to go see live if you're into. So I'm looking forward to that show.

[Mall]

If somebody hit me was like, yo, you want. I got passage. You want to go to the Cardi show? I'd say yes, but to, like, plan. Go out my way, buy tickets. No, I'm not.

[Rory]

Not.

[Mall]

But I don't do that for.

[Baby D]

Who's Cardi's on tour with?

[Mall]

I don't know if she has support on the tour. And again, I'm not on. On Cardi. I'm just, you know, not going out my way to the show. But I don't feel like any artist is gonna be able to sell tickets, sell an album once that sexy Red Eat it hits the streets.

[Baby D]

Sexy Red. What?

[Mall]

Jack Harlow may have to cancel his album. Cardi B may have to cancel her tour when that. Yo, when that eat, it drops.

[Baby D]

Is this a song you was playing earlier?

[Mall]

This is your rap? God, I thought you guys were gonna come in here on 10 like we found. Yeah, we got a classic from her. You're giving them way too much right now. You're giving them too much. Giving the streets way too much. Yo, Yachty. What. What do we owe to this leak, man? What? What do we owe.

[Rory]

Wait, Yachty.

[Mall]

This is the one that took the video.

[Rory]

Oh, okay.

[Mall]

Like, what do we owe to. To. To get this in depth behind the scenes of. Of a.

[Baby D]

Of.

[Mall]

Of a master at work with Edith.

[Rory]

You stay coming as sexy.

[Mall]

She made that move up.

[Rory]

Yo, Sexy rat.

[Mall]

You know what's funny? You think I'm coming in here to hate. I think this is kind of funny. I'm really not that mad at it.

[Rory]

Do what works for her.

[Mall]

It's. It's clearly comedic. Like.

[Rory]

Yeah, it's not. She's not being serious. Yeah.

[Mall]

Peach said Weird Al already did it.

[Baby D]

He did.

[Mall]

He did. Eat it.

[Baby D]

You never see Weird Out Yankees.

[Mall]

I remember.

[Rory]

No, I never.

[Baby D]

When he had the fat suit. Y' all remember that? That was. That's like a classic.

[Mall]

Okay, well, Sexy Red, being the genius that she is, is flipping it from a different perspective instead. Eat My Pussy, period.

[Rory]

Perfect for Valentine's Day. Whoa.

[Baby D]

She really surprised us with that one. She was about eating her on this. On this single. What are we talking about here?

[Mall]

She's trying to show her range.

[Rory]

Y' all don't have no problem with Pusha T rapping about selling that same pack for 17 albums in a row, But y' all got a problem with Sexy Rare always talking about her.

[Baby D]

If Sexy Red makes a song that sounds like the birds will sing. The birds don't sing. Then I would be.

[Mall]

I wouldn't have Just eat it.

[Baby D]

I would not have no quartz quarrel was Sexy Red at all. At all. But she showed me some versatility. I'm not mad at it, but eat it.

[Mall]

This seems like even if it does get cleared and comes out, this seems like a joke. Like, I would not even be mad at this. It seems like some funny. Like.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but I don't think this is real, so.

[Rory]

So did my Pink. My Booty Hole Brown, and that was a snake.

[Mall]

No, I think she was seriously trying to put a song out at that time. I think this is a joke that may end up working for a week.

[Baby D]

I don't think this is a real song. I think she's probably.

[Mall]

You don't think the estate will clear it?

[Baby D]

No, I don't think it's real. I think they just.

[Rory]

Not when the movie coming out. The movie coming out.

[Mall]

And this, which I got, that's on the soundtrack. I heard. Yeah, that's what you heard. It's the lead single.

[Rory]

Y' all love coming in here. And on female rappers, it's actually very funny.

[Baby D]

I'm not. No, I'm not on. I'm just like, eat it. Like, come on, man.

[Mall]

No. All right. I think maybe you're misunderstanding. So Michael Jackson said, beat it be. She's saying, eat it. I think that's why I don't think.

[Baby D]

You understood Baby Keem has a new album coming up.

[Rory]

He does. You're looking forward to him more than Sexy Red?

[Baby D]

Absolutely. I'm looking forward to hearing a Baby Keem album more than I'm listening. Looking forward to hearing a Sexy Red album, for sure.

[Mall]

I will say to your anticipation point, I have anticipation for Baby Keem. I liked his last project. It was cool. It showed a lot of potential of the artist that I think he could be and his talent level, but it was just cool. To me, it was just a cool, cool project. Spent a lot of time, I thought, with that project, he was gonna have a pretty quick turnaround with a new album. To take that much time off as a new artist with the hype and people around you, I thought you would have, like, Kendrick put out three albums since you put out your first, which is, like, unheard of. So I'm not sitting there thinking, like, oh, it's bad because he took this much time. But, yeah, the pressure is on with this one. When you take that much time off as a new artist, we're going to look at it a little different.

[Baby D]

You think pressure's on Baby King?

[Mall]

Hell, yeah.

[Baby D]

For what?

[Mall]

Because if you're super consistent and a dud happens, people can forget about it. They can move on. But when you do the Gap shit. When you do the. And I'm not comparing Baby Keem to Frank Ocean whatsoever. I'm just saying when you do the Channel Orange to Blonde, Gap, you gotta deliver Blonde. I get it, like. But I don't think there's a lot of time. And you've had one, like, real, real official project, which, again, it was cool. I was not mad at the project. I was like, I think Keem's gonna end up being a dope artist. This has a lot of potential. So, yeah, I think People are looking at. Akeem at one point was the most anticipated new artist.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Mall]

By far. I. Even before the. The Beef, Drake was one of the first people trying to co sign Baby Keem. How dope. He was like.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but I don't think it's pressure on him, though. I wouldn't say pressure is on him.

[Mall]

Because if you take this much time off what the last project was one.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but that doesn't. Even if he did that, that doesn't mean it's pressure on him. Like. Like, I just don't think. I think what you're saying is, like, I think people are looking forward to it.

[Rory]

Like he 2018.

[Mall]

No, it was 2021.

[Rory]

Oh, 2021. My bad.

[Mall]

Melodic Blue, which. Which is a cool project. Yeah. I think with all the hype that you had from that project, which was a solid first release. Then you're on the Mist and Morale tour, which you opened up. You did great. You're also part of Kendrick's set as well. Not even on some Hype man shit. You just really part of the entire set with the ad libs because he's all over Mr. Morale. You are a fixture in that show, on Twitter, on Instagram. Like, Keem had some crazy hype coming off that Mr. Morale shit. Like, we already know Kendrick's a legend over here. Keem, who is like, who is this guy? And five years in this era with a new artist is a long time, in my opinion.

[Baby D]

No, that's a long time.

[Mall]

And I'm fine with that. I think. I think more artists should take their time, especially if they take their craft very seriously, which I think Keem does. And obviously there was a lot going on with TDE and Kendrick, and he signed a PG Lang to get that business up and running. And him being the first signee, I'm sure there was some politics there as well. And they didn't want to put out a Baby Keem album until they got their business. Right. So I can appreciate that. But yeah, I think there's some pressure with Keem. That also is what happens when you're next to a legend. Like, you automatically get pressure if this person has co signed you and you've delivered with with him multiple times as well. Like, all right, where's your second solo joint?

[Baby D]

That's why I say it's no pressure, though, because this is only his second album. I don't think it's no pressure on him. His first album was a good release, but I don't think it's pressure. I think that he has to deliver a good project. But I don't think that people expect. Like, he hasn't set a bar.

[Rory]

Very true.

[Baby D]

Like, I don't think Baby Keem hasn't set his a bar yet where it's like he has to live up to this. Like. But I get what you're saying.

[Mall]

There's hype around him.

[Baby D]

No, no. There's eyes on him. And it definitely, like, you know what I'm saying? But I don't. When you say there's pressure on him, I just don't. Nobody looks at a Baby Keem album or Baby Keem like, oh, he gotta outdo this one or he gotta do. It's not that with him yet. I think people are still learning who Keem is, learning what his sound is, learning what his craft is and his skill set is as an artist. I think that he has to put out a good project. I think that he should. You know, anytime an artist put out an album, I think they should put their best. Their best shit out. Cause they only remember you for your last shit. But I think that when you say there's pressure on them, I don't know if I think it's pressure on them. Cause again, we don't really. We still don't know what Baby Keem is yet.

[Mall]

I mean, I feel like established, like young boy. No matter what, I don't think there's ever going to be pressure for an album because if people don't with this album, he'll put another one out in three weeks. And I'm not saying you have to be on that trajectory, but I think it's. It's helpful. And this is going to sound like a bad first take take, but every album is pivotal for every artist. I just think this one in his career could be you're launching to the next level or we're just going to stay plateaued. Because if he delivers, delivers on this one based off who he has around him, the fan base Kendrick has, the resources they're doing with PG Lang. Keem has everything surrounding him that could make him one of the ones. But if you don't deliver, then it's just like you're just a cool artist with a bunch of resources.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

And I. I'm not saying I think Keem is very, very talented, but I think this is the first real PG Lang artist release. I think that's a lot of fucking pressure too, to put on somebody. I think Cole had the same thing with, with Roc Nation and Escard Enterprise.

[Rory]

I think he probably puts that pressure on himself. But I agree with Maul that, like, the world isn't putting that pressure on him. I would have that pressure if I was in his position. But I don't think it's, like, the world is, like, all right, Keems, now. We're nothing. Like, I don't think that yet.

[Mall]

I'm excited for it, though. Everything Keem has put out with Kendrick since his. His first official release, I've liked Hillbilly is crazy. Like I with King. I really do. So I'm excited for that. We also get a Brent Fiaz album. Right. Right before Valentine's Day. You. Brent, why you do. Why are you doing this to us?

[Baby D]

Giving us this toxic. Or maybe we need it.

[Mall]

Maybe some of us need it.

[Rory]

It.

[Baby D]

Is that the COVID art? Oh, yeah. He got a headache. He's sick of her already. Like this here, man. God damn.

[Mall]

I mean, it's. It's no secret how much this podcast supports Brent. I'm. I'm super excited, and just as a fan, I'm happy. The announcement, it's only, like, a few days before the album. I love that.

[Rory]

I love that, too.

[Mall]

It's probably not great for art. I mean, Brent's established, so he can do that. That's great.

[Baby D]

Last week, but.

[Mall]

Yeah. But it's still a week.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

With no real record. Brent can do that. He's been independent, United Masters, Ties, great team. I just like that as a selfish fan. Sometimes it's bad for artists to do that, but. Yeah. Tell me four days before the album come out. I can't wait.

[Baby D]

I think Brent gonna have some on here.

[Rory]

I love when he's singing about that cokehead he fell in love with.

[Mall]

And you don't get rid of them.

[Rory]

No.

[Mall]

You don't have no choice there.

[Rory]

You circle back. You circle back.

[Mall]

No, you don't circle back. She. They're on coke.

[Baby D]

No, you don't get rid of your coke.

[Mall]

She's gonna be on this out.

[Baby D]

You don't get rid of your cokehead girl until she has to go to rehab. So her family steps in, and then she's at rehab now, and they, like, you're not allowed to see her anymore.

[Rory]

You're a trigger.

[Baby D]

Yeah. So that's what this cover art is about. Like, he can't see his cokehead girl no more.

[Mall]

I will tell you, though, cokeheads do have a great talent of memorizing numbers. So she could call you from rehab.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Icon. February 13th.

[Rory]

If I was a cokehead and I was dating Brent, he would be a trigger for Me?

[Baby D]

You don't think it's the local dealer?

[Mall]

He's a trigger for me without cocaine.

[Rory]

Yeah. He makes you want it. Like, you know what?

[Mall]

Yeah, we don't know that Brent does coke, but he. The music vibe for some low lights and some coke.

[Rory]

Yeah. I'm not putting coke on him. I'm just saying he would make me want to do it because he would stress me out badly.

[Mall]

He's cokehead relatable.

[Baby D]

Brent might be one of my favorite artists.

[Rory]

Really? Of all time or currently.

[Baby D]

I mean, when you say all time.

[Mall]

All time is crazy.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

All time was like, next to Michael. Like, he's definitely one of my favorite artists of the last 10 years.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mall]

He's. He's like R B Gibbs to me.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mall]

Like, if you go through his discography, even including Sonder, like, yeah. Brent has never missed on any. In my opinion. My personal opinion has never missed on any project. Project. Even ones that had hype. Ones that didn't have hype. Like, Bren has always put out a body of work that I've with top to bottom pause. So, yeah, I don't think this is going to be any different. He's never not delivered, in my opinion. I can see some people view it as like, yo, everything sound the same. This and that. I. I guess I can sort of understand what you're saying, but I like all the stuff that sounds the same.

[Baby D]

You know, I hate when people say that. Yeah, all this stuff sounds probably not really listening because as soon as they. As soon as the artist. You told my, like, all this stuff sounds the same. As soon as they try to give you something different. Different sound like, yo, this shit trash. He tried to do some shit that he ain't. This ain't even with. This ain't. With his sound. This ain't what y' all just said. Y' all was tired of the same sound and the same formula. They try to whip up something different, throw you off a little bit, give you a different vibe. Yo, this shit trash.

[Mall]

Yeah. Cause if Brent tried to experiment with the EDM Celtic reggaeton album, I'd lose my fucking mind. Let's go back.

[Baby D]

Come on.

[Mall]

Let's stay in our pocket.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Let Brent be Brent. That's what makes him dope, is that he's. That's his sound. That's his vibe. You know what I'm saying? You know what he gonna give you every time he drop? Let him be that.

[Mall]

I mean, outside of the Sonder stuff, to me, Brent's biggest attribute is his pen. That's why I'm not mad that he just picks instrumentals that leave so much space. Like, I'm paying attention more to what Brent is saying. I think Brent would even say he's not, like, the craziest vocalist. But if you're listening to Brent, in my opinion, you're listening for lyrics.

[Baby D]

Absolutely.

[Mall]

Like, his pen is what I love.

[Baby D]

He ain't Luther. He ain't gonna give you Luther. He ain't that. He not the crazy vocalist, but his vibe is like, okay, I can get with this.

[Rory]

That said, I got too many hoes, but they ain't you. You like to put that shit in your nose, but I still love you. We doing that nobody knows. And the freaks, they in the streets they be thinking you a lady, but at home you're a porn star.

[Baby D]

I know who you're talking about.

[Mall]

If you ain't that behind you on the flight.

[Rory]

I've been working all day.

[Mall]

Yeah, period. I do hope Brent does like a tour soon as well with this. I don't know if. I don't think I've ever seen Brent live.

[Baby D]

I've never seen Brent.

[Mall]

Yeah, I don't think I have. Do you think he does meet and greets? Because I feel like, like Brent. Brent would have a nasty. And I mean nasty in a good way type of meet and greet.

[Baby D]

Oh, yeah.

[Mall]

I would just want to see who.

[Rory]

Share a cigarette with Brent at his meet and greet.

[Baby D]

You want. You'll share a cigarette with him.

[Rory]

That's. That seem like the type of that Brent be doing at his meet and greet.

[Baby D]

He'll sign. Brent definitely gonna sign some titties for sure.

[Mall]

Yo, ask him, Brent, if you got a bus down at a meeting or.

[Baby D]

To sign your pack of Newports.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

And put it right next to Kia's up sign dildo.

[Baby D]

Yo, Brent, sign these Wall of fame.

[Mall]

But, yo, I, I, I feel like Chris Brown, he. He up the meet and greet game, man. It was genius what he did, picking up women. We all thought he was crazy, charging $1,500 for it. But he delivered and gave everybody what they were asking for. They got their money's worth at a Chris Brown meet and greet. Now I feel like all fans with artists are looking for that Chris Brown meet and greet. Like, why aren't you humping me during this entire thing? Summer Walker's on tour now. She's sitting in a stool, honestly, acting like how most meet and greets really used to go. But she's just also socially awkward, and she's getting a lot of shit for it. Like, I think Chris fucked up the meet and greet game because not everyone's gonna do what Chris does.

[Rory]

But there's a medium.

[Mall]

All right. But I also think there's a responsibility on a fan side of knowing.

[Baby D]

So awkward.

[Mall]

Knowing if. If you buy meet and greet ticket, you would say that you're. You're pretty invested in the artist, right? The Marsh. You would agree there.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

You know, you have somewhat of an understanding of who they are. Yo, you should understand.

[Baby D]

Why do Justice Enough Keep doing this to someone. Why do they keep doing it?

[Rory]

The money is not worth the bad. Like, if the money.

[Baby D]

Yo, Justice. Why do y' all keep doing this?

[Mall]

Justice? Amber, I'm calling HR on lvr.

[Baby D]

Why do y' all keep doing this? This Summer? Like, it's okay to not have a meet and greet for some. Like, they still gonna buy the album, still love Summer. They gonna go to the show. Summer is Summer. We love her. Yeah, but. But in a way, they know what they doing with. They know this is going viral. Of course they know that Summer's awkwardness. Her interaction with her fans is always gonna be awkward because Summer's socially awkward. So they know it's gonna go viral. But it's just, like. It's just. It looks like torture for Summer. Looks like she is, like, dreading every second of doing this and being here.

[Mall]

I mean, but also.

[Baby D]

And then it could be taken, like, she's not appreciative. It's not like, it could be taken the wrong way. Like, some people could be, like, oh, she's acting like a bitch. She's acting, like, ungrateful that her friend, like, her fans are here to support her. Like, the interaction is very weird. It's very, like, standoffish. No, Summer is just so socially awkward and natural.

[Rory]

Well, then don't do it. And I get that. Don't do a meet and greet. Don't offer a meet and greet.

[Baby D]

I agree.

[Mall]

I will also don't buy one. If I've seen myself, my. My favorite artist say multiple times on the Internet, and it's been a wrong. I'm socially awkward. I'm not buying a meet and greet.

[Rory]

That's wrong.

[Baby D]

They have to stop setting up the meet and greet.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Not. Don't buy the meet and greet. No, don't set up a meet and greet.

[Rory]

You do meet and greets, and you tell the people all the time that you're socially awkward, which you are, and people still want to support you. Then they get to you, oh, this socially awkward mo.

[Mall]

Eight years we've been doing meet and greets. Do I act like this? I. I also have social anxiety, don't like people. I. I bury that deep down inside me.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

But I over deliver on every meeting our points.

[Baby D]

But someone proving our points, someone does not do that.

[Mall]

I'm not expecting her to be like me. I'm sure. I'm not saying that I actually think it's damaged. Damaged myself by burying those feelings do that.

[Baby D]

She doesn't have the ability.

[Mall]

No, I agree.

[Baby D]

Yeah. So she. They lvrn should not set some up for me.

[Rory]

But I said that because it's like you can't. The same way you say you're socially awkward, your fans hear that, but they still buy meet and GRE because of that. You bury it deep down and you do what the you have to do. It's not, it's not the fans onus to do that. It's on her.

[Mall]

But there the levels of that are are drastically different because every time we've done meet and greets, there's stuff been on socials. Like we put it on our vlogs. There's not a whole running thing. Yes. On this podcast I say I'm socially awkward, but it's not a running thing on the Internet, anytime someone comes near me, I'm like, yo, get the away from me. That's a thing for Summer. And also it's Summer Walker. It's not. Not bum ask me. The world knows that this woman stands even at the Grammys like this. That's apples and oranges when it comes to my social anxiety at our meet and greets.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

The fans know that. But come on, it should be a family reunion when we do our meet and greets. That is fun and cool seeing people we've seen.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

For years.

[Baby D]

And greets like Summer Walker should not be doing meet and greets. Bottom line. She just, she. Why are they set? Why do they keep setting up for this is.

[Mall]

Maybe she wants to. Maybe she wants to talk to them.

[Baby D]

Man. She doesn't.

[Rory]

She doesn't. She does not. Very not.

[Baby D]

She doesn't want to talk to nobody.

[Rory]

And then they're now killing her.

[Baby D]

Because of course they are. Of course they are. And I get it. It's viral. You know what I'm saying? You're going to get a moment out of. But it, at some point, it does more damage than good. At some point. At some point people start to look at Summer like she's a bitch or, you know, she's, she's, she's like. She's standoffish or she, you know, her attitude sucks. It turns into that other than no. She's been telling y' all for years she's socially awkward. So now, socially awkward. It's not personal. We know that. We know that she's just socially awkward, and it's not personal to her fans. But the fans don't know that they pay for something. They want you to seem like you're the happiest person in the world to see them. They want you to inquire about their kids. They want you to sign everything. Take this picture. Can I hug you? Can I FaceTime you with my homegirl? She's a big fan. It's a lot of those things happen at meet and greets. Summer ain't with none of that, so she don't want to do none of that.

[Rory]

This clip is now going viral and making his rounds, and they're killing her. She says that she doesn't like hugging people, not even her parents.

[Mall]

Back up.

[Rory]

I don't like nobody touching me. It just is.

[Mall]

How did Summer strip?

[Rory]

Now they. Now they're saying they're like, you don't like nobody touching you. And you had, like, three kids in, like, two years. They say now they tearing her up. They're like, you got a new every other day.

[Mall]

Because first of all, that's different than. Than a meet and greet.

[Rory]

She's talking about she don't like hugging her parents. Baby. She said, I don't like people touching me.

[Mall]

But that could be different than yours. You don't touch your parents. Same way you touch your significant other.

[Rory]

Like, but saying you don't like being touched.

[Mall]

The point is, unless they're being touched by the person they are in love.

[Baby D]

With, you don't like hugging her parents, which more than more than likely, she don't like touching anybody. She don't want anybody touching her. She don't want anybody trying to, like, you know, give any type of affection. And if you do meet me with your fans, I'm gonna go out on the whim and say, somebody's gonna try to hug you.

[Mall]

So now you ran through a lot of energy.

[Baby D]

When you stand off, it's just like, oh, she was acting weird. No, she's just socially awkward and doesn't like nobody touching her.

[Mall]

Cool.

[Baby D]

I'm just saying lvrn is very, very great at what they do. They know Summer does not want to do shit like this. Stop setting up Summer to do shit like this is all I'm saying. Put out great music. The people are going to Buy it, stream it, whatever. Go on the road. People are going to go to the show. We love Summer. We're going to support her anyway and let that be that like. Or, Summer, how would you like to interact with your fans more intimately outside of a meet and greet? How can we make it so that we're not putting you in such an awkward position to where you look like your fucking skin is crawling because you don't wanna be around nobody? What type of ideas do you have? Cause I'm pretty sure Summer didn't land on. Okay, fuck it, I'll just do a meet and greet. They probably was like, summer, you need to do a meet and greet. They probably beat that on the head for weeks. Like, yo, Summer, the album's coming. We gotta do this. It's part of the game. You know how it's part of the gig. We gotta do a meet and greet, gotta touch your fans, gotta be out there, gotta have these intimate moments, which is all true, but with her, somebody who has been as successful as Summer, somebody who has given as much dope music, as many dope albums as Summer, we all know she's socially awkward. She does not like these things. Why do we keep putting her in these positions? That's all I'm saying. Shout out to lvrn. Much love to y'. All. You know, we support y', all, but I mean, come on. Like, Summer don't want to do that shit. Summer is not Cheese don't want to do none of that shit. Look at her face.

[Mall]

Maybe she'll buy tickets to the meet and greet in New York and have that conversation with her.

[Baby D]

With Summer?

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

I would never have this conversation with something.

[Rory]

Yeah, yeah.

[Baby D]

I don't like people, so I understand what she's like.

[Mall]

No, you ain't lying. Tell her, like, you don't need to do this. You know that, right?

[Baby D]

No, I'm just. It's just like, I'm gonna tell justice that. Like, Justice. Why y' all keep putting something up here with this? Why?

[Mall]

Why you're standing next to him at the meeting, watching her do this?

[Baby D]

I'm like, look at something. She don't want to be here, bro. Y' all keep telling us she has to, though. She has to. They love her. She has to path. Nah, man, you got to find another way.

[Mall]

There was one comment on an Instagram post a little while ago that was a negative Instagram post about me. And in the comments, somebody said, I know Rory's. I'm paraphrasing.

[Baby D]

Of course.

[Mall]

I know Rory's. I went to one of their meet and greets and he was scared to meet me.

[Rory]

Were you scared to meet him?

[Baby D]

You're scared to meet everybody. He's socially awful.

[Mall]

I think I was scared to meet anyone at the meeting.

[Baby D]

No, Rory actually, like, scared to be there. He actually, Rory says he doesn't like interacting with people. He loves it at the meet. And Greece.

[Mall]

I love. I love talking to our listeners. For sure. That's not really a socially awkward thing for me. I love talking to our listeners. Yeah, they're great. So, yeah, whoever put that in the comments, that's. I was scared to meet you.

[Rory]

No worrying now.

[Rory]

Rory put that on the list. I don't know what the he's talking.

[Mall]

About your favorite rapper, man.

[Rory]

What's up?

[Mall]

Not living her rhymes. This is getting out of hand now.

[Rory]

She her last song was My man, my man, my man, my man, my baby Dicking me down, me driving me crazy or spoiling me One of Them I put in there wasn't in there. It was dicking me down, spoiling me, driving me crazy. That was her last song.

[Mall]

Do we ever even believe her rhymes before that?

[Baby D]

I did some of them.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

May gave us some real bars before. Absolutely.

[Mall]

Do we think the music will suffer now that. That she wants to live her rhymes in this way?

[Rory]

No. Her last relationship, the rhymes didn't suffer. She was in love then, too.

[Baby D]

But what's the latest with them? Like, why. Why are we talking about this?

[Mall]

But with her and Party, we didn't. We only saw them working on Out. We didn't see Party Day.

[Rory]

Clay. Clay's birthday. For Clay's birthday, she threw him.

[Mall]

Clay Day.

[Rory]

Clay Day. She threw him, like, a birthday party. She had his favorite group perform, Bone Thugs and Harmony. She had, like, a surprise picnic on the beach for him. Like, she just did a whole day full of. Of shit. She was being. She was a good girl.

[Mall]

It was beautiful. No, it was. It was. It was great. Great to see her do this for the man that she loves. I'm just saying, like, it's a little different. This. This is. It may be a bit of the blemish. With Ross, it was like, damn, he was a CEO. Megan's always, damn.

[Baby D]

Meg is in love.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

That's what you're saying. Oh, okay.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Yeah. But we knew she was in love before this, though. We didn't need Clay Day to confirm she was in love.

[Rory]

That girl.

[Mall]

They're gonna get married. To think that maybe the real Noriega didn't owe Rick Ross a thousand favors.

[Baby D]

You said you think. You think they're gonna get married.

[Rory]

Okay, I think they're gonna get married. Y' all disagree.

[Baby D]

I'm not following. What's the name of their, like, relationship? You know, everybody has to have, like.

[Rory]

A. I don't know what it is.

[Baby D]

I'm not. I'm not following the Clay. Meg love Clay again.

[Mall]

I don't like that Clay against.

[Baby D]

I'm not following the Clay again. The Claygan Journey. But, you know, Meg is happy, and she seems like she's happy. Clay is happy. He ain't hit a 3 in 12 months.

[Mall]

So, you know, doesn't even seem interested in it either, which is fine.

[Baby D]

He's ready to retire.

[Mall]

But I've seen the clip. I've seen the clips. She's with the family holidays. Yes. This seems like. This is not a.

[Baby D]

Let me see something just for sure.

[Mall]

We're in one of those.

[Baby D]

Let me see what Clay is doing this season.

[Rory]

Don't do that Clay is. I think Clay is having probably the happiest year of his life. He's having a ball. Bone Thugs and Harmony, your favorite group performing at your birthday party. You got this thick ass woman from Texas cooking for you and your parents.

[Mall]

He's overjoyed she got busy. Bone there too.

[Rory]

I don't know if she.

[Mall]

Nah, the whole clip there, that's that. That takes some bread getting busy to show up is. Is afoot. Listen, that's also so random. How old is Clay Thompson? Probably what, like 95?

[Rory]

Yeah, I think he. He's 36. 6.

[Mall]

He's my age.

[Rory]

Yeah. Oh, damn.

[Mall]

Why did I think Clay was younger than me? Okay, that makes sense then.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Bone Thugs. Okay. I thought he was way younger for some weird reason because like that's a while. I love Bone Thugs. But that wouldn't be my first thought of Klay Thompson's favorite.

[Rory]

If a girl wanted surprise you surprise you with a birthday with a perfect day with Rory Day. What would Rory day look like? And don't say the obvious us to leave me alone.

[Mall]

What were Rory. Not really. I wasn't going to say that. I was really just trying to think think of what that that perfect day would look like.

[Baby D]

Oh yeah. It's over for Clay.

[Mall]

You looking at the stats?

[Baby D]

Yeah, it's over.

[Mall]

Now. Are we talking Meg the Stallion budget like the way Bone Thugs came to. To Dallas?

[Rory]

Maybe a little bit under Meg the Stallion, but you know, the real no owe her a couple favors.

[Mall]

I would love if she got Foreign exchange if she rented out Blue Note and got Foreign Exchange to perform.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mall]

I don't know if I'd want to do the whole day. I know you said the whole leave me alone shit, but part of me would like to relax in the morning. Something at home that she would do for me.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mall]

Very light. I'm actually very easy to please when it comes to that type of stuff.

[Baby D]

Stuff.

[Mall]

Cook and us just chill. I'm fine with that. And then for the night. But I don't want to surprise. I want to see the guest list.

[Rory]

Oh God. Just want to know about.

[Mall]

I want to know. I want to know who going to be there. But yeah, close friends. My family there. Yeah, I'm kind of easy to please with that type of stuff.

[Rory]

Okay. Foreign exchange at the Blue Note.

[Mall]

That. Yeah, that would be a nice. And give me the front table. Make me the bell of the ball.

[Baby D]

He's so gay.

[Mall]

Who are you?

[Baby D]

So gay.

[Mall]

Maybe make like a T shirt like with the date and the, you know, a Specialized item there, Ma.

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Rory]

Bless you, Pete.

[Baby D]

If I wanted to go do something special for me.

[Rory]

Yeah. Like mall day. The perfect day of your birthday. Mall day.

[Baby D]

Oh, man.

[Mall]

Just could do what volume did for him. Buy him weed.

[Rory]

Stop. Stop.

[Mall]

Alleged. Oh, no, it's legal here. Never mind.

[Rory]

Hey.

[Baby D]

They bought it in Jersey and didn't buy it like I said wanted to. That was the idea. I was just like.

[Mall]

It's the thought that counts.

[Baby D]

Yeah. I was like, it's okay, guys. It's okay. Thank you. I don't know, maybe just like a. A vacation, just us. Like, nobody. Like, I don't need a party and all of that. Like, I'm not the.

[Rory]

So that. Well, talk about the day, though, on the vacation. Like, what happens on the day.

[Baby D]

It's not just the dinner on the beach. You know, just us in the pool at night, our favorite songs playing. You know what I'm saying? Like, just. Just a vibe. Nah, I don't need that.

[Rory]

Mall is a romantic.

[Baby D]

Is that really romantic?

[Rory]

Yes. Your favorite. No, the favorite songs playing with y', all chilling in the pool. That's beautiful.

[Baby D]

This is our playlist. Make a playlist of our joints. That's it. I don't. I don't want. I don't. Please don't bring out fucking little baby or. I don't want to see none of them on my birthday. No, I'm cool. I don't.

[Mall]

Don't.

[Baby D]

I don't want none of that.

[Rory]

If you telling me she bought out. If she bought out Cole to perform, who the is you?

[Baby D]

You would J. Cole.

[Mall]

And. And he did it for free just to piss you off.

[Baby D]

That would be the worst birthday of my life.

[Rory]

That's m. That's ma.

[Baby D]

If you brought out jcole to perform for me for my birthday, that would.

[Mall]

Not be the worst.

[Baby D]

My birthday. That's the worst birthday I've ever had. Yo, I just bring out J. Cole. I don't want to see J. Cole perform on my birthday.

[Mall]

Really?

[Baby D]

I would go to J. Cole's show, but not on my birthday. Like, he's here to perform for me. What are you doing? Nobody else was available. J. Cole, who would you rather? You might as well get an old school rap group before J. Cole. Go get EPMD or Eric B and Rakim before J. Cole on my birthday.

[Rory]

That's crazy. I would love that.

[Mall]

That I feel like someone younger than you performing at your birthday.

[Baby D]

I want this before I'm older than this. Like, get out of here.

[Mall]

He respects his elder.

[Baby D]

Nah, man. Get the out of my Birthday party. That's great. J. Cole performing for me for my birthday.

[Mall]

I just thought of some.

[Baby D]

I would go to a cold show. Like, if you got me to say, yo, we're going to cold show. I'm like, oh, all right. Cool. Come on. But, like, it's my. This is my, like, dinner or whatever. And, like, yo ma come to the front. I'm like, nah, yo, who y' all got? Be like, yo, yo, letting Cole cut.

[Mall]

Your cake with you.

[Baby D]

Who y' all got? I'm like, yo, who? Yo, I got. We got a real thing. Like, yo, nah, hold on. But again, this got to be a troll. Y' all gotta be troll.

[Mall]

And he was doing, like, B sides. He was doing. He was doing mixtape for you.

[Baby D]

This is a troll right here. Are you kidding me? I would be like, y' all look at my girl. Like, why you playing, dog? You can't have no younger than me perform for my birthday.

[Mall]

And y' all on stage like. Like this. Performing. No.

[Baby D]

That's nasty.

[Rory]

I don't find. I don't feel like. There's nothing wrong with having somebody younger than you performing. Fine.

[Mall]

It is.

[Baby D]

No way, man.

[Mall]

Drake's gonna leave.

[Baby D]

I wouldn't want Drake performing fee for my birthday.

[Rory]

I feel like that would be worse. I feel like that was somehow.

[Mall]

I think it'd be offensive if he didn't perform at your birthday.

[Baby D]

I would be like, yo, what are y' all doing? Y' all go get one of my. Like, go get a. A. Like a super legend that. I'm like, oh, I grew up, like. You know what I'm saying? I grew up watching you. Like, this is my. I never like that type of cold. Come on, stop playing with me, though. I like, I would walk past Cole and look in the back like, yo, who back here, man? Like, y cold opening. Yeah, y' all playing, man? Stop playing. Stop playing. Stop playing with me.

[Mall]

And then him, like, getting started. Be like, my bad. It was supposed to be a surprise.

[Baby D]

No, don't do that.

[Mall]

That. I was thinking of some devious shit, though. Cause, you know, in, like, early in a relationship, sometimes your girl will go to one of your friends to ask, like, like, secretly, like, yo, what you think? And if that was a situation with Maul, like, he's been dating her for, like, four or five months, but they getting serious, and she comes to us like. Like, what do you think would be the best thing for mall? I would 1,000% be like, yo, he loves lil baby. Like, he really loves lil baby.

[Rory]

Nah, Playboy Cardi.

[Mall]

Like, if you could get Cardi to come.

[Baby D]

Yo, yo, he.

[Mall]

You have no. And she'd be like, that's weird. He's never brought him. I know. He's.

[Rory]

He's shy.

[Mall]

He's shy about that one.

[Baby D]

He shy. That would. See how not shy. If that come out on the stage tonight, this party is over. I'm let y' all know right now.

[Rory]

Oh, my God.

[Baby D]

Little baby. I'm like, get. I'm like, y' all bugging the ass. What about Thug Hell? It gotta be. It gotta be somebody I grew up, like, listening to.

[Rory]

Okay?

[Baby D]

It gotta be like, if it's gonna be, like, a rapper artist, it has to be somebody that, like, I grew up, like, oh, this was my, like, new edition. It gotta be somebody like that. It gotta be Bobby or something that. It can't be J. Cole.

[Rory]

That is so.

[Baby D]

That would be the worst birthday of my life.

[Rory]

You are so extra. You definitely had a worse birthday.

[Baby D]

N. I've never had a young. A nigga younger than me performing at my birthday. Are you crazy? That would feel crazy, as I would.

[Mall]

Also just feel awkward about that. Like, you're here from my birthday. I don't even want you. I. The whole thing would just feel very odd. Rory got.

[Rory]

No. We sung Happy Birthday to him.

[Baby D]

Like, you see how they got Bone Thugs? They older than Clay. Clay grew up. That was his. He grew up listening to them.

[Mall]

He misses Uncle Charlie just as much.

[Baby D]

Yeah, like, she. Man could have called Meek. Clay probably would have been pissed off if Meek came out. Like, Meek.

[Rory]

Like, Meek is older than him, too.

[Baby D]

But. Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah, they're probably like, the same age.

[Mall]

Yeah, like, I'm probably, like, 30. I'll be 36 this year. At least three or four years older than me.

[Baby D]

Like, Like. Like, for Clay, the. The. The. The limit might have been like, Wayne. Wayne is older than Clay. But it's like that. And. And almost. That is a little. Like, that's almost my pit. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, Bone Thugs, he was a kid watching them on tv. Like, it's like a nostalgic thing.

[Mall]

But what if we're all vibing at the party? Like, at. At Prince birthday party? Nas and Kiss were there, and they grabbed the microphone and performed. They younger than him, but, like, you know, they. Everyone's friends, so they're just gonna grab a mic and perform. Cause it's the vibe. Like, you don't think Drake might wanna do too much at your birthday just on a whim.

[Rory]

Oh, my God. Look at the song selection.

[Baby D]

Look at the you're not even listening to.

[Mall]

No, but don't even do that. Cause there's been. We've seen plenty of people that have rap friends, like, real legitimate friends, and they get thrown a birthday party and someone grabs a mic to perform. Dreams of night nightmares. It's not weird. If I'm close friends with Meek and we all drunk at my birthday party and the DJ throws on dreams and nightmares, I'm not gonna be like, meek, don't grab the microphone. Like, that's never gonna happen.

[Baby D]

Different if that's your friend.

[Mall]

That's why I was speaking more with the drinks. Yeah, that's.

[Baby D]

Yeah, that's. That's different. If it's my, like, a friend of mine that just happens to be, like, a great artist, that's different. That's like. That's my friend performing for my birthday. But if it's some. I don't know, and I'm older than this nigga, he come out talking about, yo, happy birthday. I'll be like, yo, fam, get off the stage.

[Mall]

So what? What's weirder? Not like the rich bar mitzvah type celebrity thing, but like, you know, the CEO billionaire whose wife books a bunch of celebrities to go to the birthday party. Ones that have, like, musical talent, I get. But, like, if Tom Brady just comes to your birthday party because you can afford it, like, what do you do? Like, you don't feel weird about the. That, like, I'm talking to someone. This feels like prostitution. Well, that's like, I'm literally talking to somebody that's here at an intimate time for me. Thanks. Thanks for coming, Tom. Like, yeah, you paid me 1.5, right?

[Baby D]

You thought I was showing, like, the performance.

[Mall]

I get that. Like, I would love to watch a performance during my birthday party. And, like, that's cool. And if we get to kick it after whatever we paid for a performance. Just some. Somebody to show up. That's so weird to like, to me, that really feels like prostitution.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I get it. I remember one time when. When Trev was playing with the Knicks, somebody had hired him to come to his son's. His son had basketball practice, and he showed up. We went to the kids basketball practice, and Trev was his favorite player on the Knicks at the time. And, you know, Trev shot him, but it's like they're in a gym. This is what this guy does. So if Tom Brady is coming to my board.

[Mall]

No, that makes perfect sense. Yeah.

[Baby D]

Like, if Tom Brady's coming to my birthday party, it's like the fellows we had to just have playing a game of flag football for my birthday, and then Tom Brady shows up. He's the qb. But if you're like, we're in the fucking in Manhattan at a restaurant, and my wife was like, yo, Tom Brady. I'm like, what?

[Mall]

And he sits down, be like, what.

[Baby D]

Am I supposed to do?

[Mall]

Like, hey, man.

[Baby D]

Yeah. First thing I would do is like, yo, am I dying? Like, why is Tom Brady. You're about to make a wish, kid. Like, why?

[Mall]

Tom Brady's your angel.

[Baby D]

Yeah, like, watch Tom Brady at my birthday dinner. Like, this is crazy as fuck. But if my wife said, yo, we're going away, we're gonna have a flag football game. Da, da, da, da, da.

[Mall]

That would be fire.

[Baby D]

That's fire. Tom Brady show up. He got the jersey on. He's the qb. Best birthday ever.

[Mall]

Well, the Saudis are doing that right now.

[Baby D]

Yeah, well, and before we get to.

[Mall]

That, I don't want to deter any, like, billionaires that do listen to this podcast. And you want to book us, we will talk like we talk on the podcast. We will do everything at the podcast.

[Baby D]

I will stream for 39 days straight.

[Rory]

The boys told me I have to wear a burqa if I come do.

[Mall]

Well, that's because we respect tradition and.

[Baby D]

Religion and things like that. So. Yes.

[Mall]

And how they view women. The Saudis are peach. Keep it. Just, bro, Keep it. Don't. Don't let them talk you out of it. Keep it. I'll deal with it. Anyways, Tom Brady was talking with Logan Paul, which I assume was Logan Paul's podcast. I just saw the clip, and they were talking about the Saudis hiring them for a flag football game. And Logan Paul, I get it, he's a wrestler now, so he has to get in his marketing. Marketing bag. But he was talking a little crazy to a goat to the point that he said, yo, I know it's flag football and that's y' all arena, but I've never seen Saquon Barkley do a backflip off the ropes. I'm an athlete. And they looked at. Said he jumped over somebody backwards in the most elite league in the world. And that's my thing with people that have. That are this athletic, because Logan Paul is extremely athletic. That don't mean you can. You can run and gun with. Is he. Could he run faster than Tom Brady? Of course. Does that make him more athletic than Tom Brady on a football field?

[Baby D]

No.

[Mall]

Like, that's insane to me. And you got the nerve to bring up Saquan who's probably the most athletic.

[Baby D]

Human being you got to love. You got to love the confidence, though, in the Paul brothers in general. Like, their confidence is. Is honestly what got them to the level that they're at right now.

[Mall]

Jake Paul was so confident, he called Puerto Ricans fake Americans while he lives in Puerto Rico.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Mall]

As a fake American to not pay taxes.

[Rory]

Confidence when taxes is the most American thing.

[Baby D]

Like, you avoid confidence, man. Gotta have confidence no matter what. I love the Pole brothers for that.

[Mall]

But Tom Brady even doubled down. I think he posted on his Twitter and was like, yeah, this was funny in the moment, but now I'm pissed off again after he watched this back and forth.

[Baby D]

Who, Tom Brady? Yeah.

[Mall]

That's insane to say that. You're just as athletic. Then Logan Paul started bringing up his high school stats. He's like, yo, I rushed for 1500-19 touchdown. And Brady's like, I won seven Super bowl rings. I'm not even bringing that up. Like, what can you do today in Saudi Arabia that's gonna be.

[Baby D]

They're having a flag football league, right?

[Mall]

It's flag or something along those lines.

[Rory]

Flag football coach clash. Yeah, whatever the that means.

[Mall]

That would be so much fun.

[Baby D]

Listen, man, the Saudis is bringing everybody over there to entertain them.

[Mall]

Okay?

[Baby D]

Do that thing you do.

[Mall]

How much money do you think Tom Brady. This isn't really accounting Pockets podcast, but how much money does it take Tom Brady to go play flagpole football?

[Baby D]

They gave him a bag.

[Mall]

Do you think they gave him a whole oil rig?

[Baby D]

They gave him a.

[Mall]

Like, I don't even know if there's a number for that. Yeah, I think, like, you literally just take oil tank.

[Baby D]

They probably just. They probably was like, we just got a blank check for you. Don't worry about it. You put your. You put your number on it.

[Mall]

You never have to.

[Baby D]

When you get here. You put your number on there, Tom.

[Mall]

It's all good, but, I mean, I. I hope they. I mean, I don't know if they're gonna live stream it. I don't even know if that. That VPN or whatever works in America, but I would like to watch this live.

[Baby D]

Oh, no, we gotta watch that. We definitely gotta watch that. All right, well, halfway through the week. Mm, Almost done.

[Rory]

Two episodes down, two more to go.

[Baby D]

Everybody feeling good?

[Rory]

Yeah, I feel good.

[Baby D]

Feeling great.

[Rory]

I can't wait to talk about y' all Valentine's Day plans tomorrow.

[Baby D]

I can't wait to talk about yours tomorrow.

[Rory]

I don't have any, but.

[Baby D]

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. We not doing that. We not doing that.

[Rory]

If I don't have. If you don't have any, I don't have any.

[Baby D]

That's not true. That's not true.

[Rory]

How it ain't true?

[Baby D]

Cause I know. I know your stuff. I know your shit you got going.

[Rory]

On, and I know some of your shit you got going on, too.

[Baby D]

No, you don't. I don't have nothing going on.

[Rory]

I be hearing you on that phone.

[Baby D]

Oh, that's just pimping. We'll talk to y' all soon. Be safe. Be blessed. I'm that nigga. He's just ginger. Peace. No worrying now.

[Rory]

This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
