Overview

This episode, titled "Hump Day," is classic Rory & MAL: a blend of off-the-cuff humor, debates over modern social dynamics, and nostalgic takes on hip-hop culture. The crew, joined by Damaris, spirals through varied topics—ranging from whether baby mothers should get Valentine’s Day gifts, to the decline of rap concert intimacy, to bucket list concert moments, and a wild listener voicemail about planning a threesome. As always, their sharp banter and unfiltered honesty shine through.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Valentine’s Day and "Baby Mothers" Gifts

Segment: [03:57–07:44]

• Mal addresses backlash he received for his prior "baby mother" take, expecting to look like the hero but instead becoming the villain.
• The crew debates whether men should get their child's mother a gift on Valentine's Day, with varying takes on appropriateness and boundaries.
• Damaris notes many people don’t have healthy relationships with their child’s other parent, complicating these occasions.

Notable Exchange:

• Damaris (04:48): "A lot of people don't have healthy relationships with their baby moms. They really don't."
• Rory (06:07): "Some people look at [Valentine’s Day] as a day for lovers...that’s why on that day, people post their significant others."

Memorable Moment:

• Rory presses Mal: "If you had a girlfriend and she had a baby daddy, would you be okay with him sending flowers...on Valentine's Day?"
• Mal: “You gotta respect my house.”
• Damaris: “You don't put those in the bedroom. [Put them] in the living room.”
• [07:32–07:44]

2. Concert Culture: From Stadiums to Small Venues

Segment: [10:54–44:25]

• The crew discusses the J. Cole tour—how quickly tickets sold, and whether Cole could sell out a stadium like MetLife versus arenas.
• Comparison of rap and R&B acts who can fill stadiums and the changing feel of large venue performances.
• Nostalgic tales about legendary concerts at intimate NYC venues (SOBs, Highline Ballroom, Southpaw), reminiscing about the energy of the "blog era" and how rising artists used to break into the industry.

Memorable Quotes:

• Mall (11:44): "I don't really like rappers in stadiums...like how intimate a Cole show is."
• Rory (13:15): "I don't know how I feel about Cole in the stadium. I'm excited to see him in an arena. I'm excited to be drunk, swaying side to side."
• Mall (30:31): "The most slept on show...Jeezy at Highline [Ballroom], Jay-Z comes out for Go Crazy, then Kanye, then The LOX, then Fab. That was one of the greatest shows ever."
• Damaris (39:29): "First time Kanye performed was at SOBs in New York."
• Mall (43:41): "I got lifelong friends that I met at Southpaw in Brooklyn in 2010..."

Key Takeaway:
The episode laments the shift from community-driven small shows to industry-curated events fueled by social media and instant viral fame. The "blog era" was depicted as a golden age of cross-networking and grind.

3. The Evolution of Artist Come-Ups & Social Media

Segment: [42:24–49:25]

• Discussion on whether anyone "needs" to work their way through small venues or open mics anymore, given how social media can propel artists instantly to festival stages.
• Comparison to stand-up comedy, which still requires in-person grinding for most new comics.
• Damaris and Mall agree: new artists can skip the grind, but comedians can't.

Notable Quote:

• Damaris (42:46): "Artists...don't even feel the need to go that route...They feel awkward. So much social anxiety...no one knows how to go outside and meet new people."

---

---

5. Listener Voicemail: The Threesome Conundrum

Segment: [77:08–83:48]

• A listener calls in for advice: he and his girlfriend are planning a threesome, and want to find a woman of his girlfriend's type; he also compliments Damaris as his girlfriend's "type" and asks if she has a "twin."
• The team gives practical advice:
  • Let the girlfriend take the lead in finding someone.
  • Dating apps could be risky.
  • Consider hiring a professional ("it could get weird with a civilian broad").
  • Damaris isn't interested in participating.

Quote:

• Damaris (79:33): "There was no question. He was literally just saying, Damaris, we both find you a trouble."
• Mall (82:18): "That's the most logical way to pay for sex, in my opinion…hire a professional."

---

6. Male-Female Friendships & Platonic Boundaries

Segment: [53:33–59:57]

• The team debates whether men and women can really be platonic friends, triggered by Cam Newton's viral claim.
• Damaris pushes back hard against the "can't be friends unless I'm trying to smash" mentality:
  • Damaris (56:13): "You can't have a female friend and just chill? You just too horny! Lock you up!"
• They joke about setting each other up with their friends, being "curved" after hookups (and handling rejection), and the gendered pettiness of post-sex dynamics.

---

7. Sexual Escapades, Bluechew Stories & Swingers

Segment: [89:03–96:17]

• Damaris recounts being hit on by a couple in Texas who looked like Chuck Liddell, being offered Bluechew, and nearly participating in a swinger situation.
• Discussion of hotel sex "kits," awkwardness around buying condoms, and preferred public sex etiquette.
• Blunt sex talk about going “raw,” “sex kits” at the Mondrian, and what happens if you run out of condoms – all with self-deprecating humor and details.

Notable Story:

• Mall (90:58): "He was the first person...to tell me about Bluechew. He was like, 'Bro, trust me. With no headache, naturals, like, you gotta try.'"

---

8. Nostalgia for NYC’s “Come Up” Scene

Segment: [39:29–44:25; 46:47–49:42]

• Detailed nostalgia for NYC’s live music scene—SOBs, Highline, Southpaw, Knitting Factory, Vashti as a DJ icon, relationships forged in those days.
• “Blog era” memories contrasted with today’s influencer-dominated environment.

[Rory]

No Warrior Ma.

[Mall]

No conductor.

[Rory]

No warrior, no.

[Mall]

We are back.

[Damaris]

Yes, we are.

[Mall]

Hello, everyone. Happy middle of the week or whenever you are listening to this.

[Damaris]

Is this. Is this still a hump day? Do they still call it hump day?

[Mall]

I guess.

[Damaris]

Yeah, they do. I haven't seen hump day in a while.

[Mall]

Where did you see it before?

[Damaris]

I mean, I just haven't seen nobody even, like. Like, tweet hump day or, like, say.

[Mall]

Hump day or, like, I typically don't get along with anyone that says, happy hump day. We should bring that Bad case of the Mondays. Anyone that says things like that. I just. I just strongly dislike those people.

[Damaris]

Y' all like Mondays?

[Mall]

No. People say, sounds like someone has a bad case of the Mondays. Or, like, never mind. Watch the office space.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Mall]

Anyways, we're back. Sponsored by Boost. I was told by our entire team that I was not gonna get killed in the comments about my baby mother take and that I would look like the hero in the entire thing. And that is why I'm not listening to anyone in this room ever again.

[Rory]

Who is the entire team.

[Damaris]

Who told you you got. You're getting killed right now?

[Mall]

Not killed, but I. I was. I was told that I would be the one that would look good here and Damaris would be the one that would be getting killed. And no, everyone apparently hates their baby mothers and they think they deserv.

[Rory]

That's not what nobody said.

[Damaris]

What are they saying?

[Rory]

The conversation we were having about baby mothers, they just said that y' all were wrong, that there are other holidays to celebrate your baby mother. It doesn't have to be Valentine's Day. The comments just disagree with y'.

[Mall]

All.

[Rory]

But Rory was like, yo, make sure I look good. Yeah, you got your point across. People just disagree with you.

[Damaris]

You know, people really just don't like their baby mothers, right?

[Mall]

That's what it appeared to be in the. In the comments.

[Damaris]

A lot of people don't have healthy relationships with their baby moms. They really don't.

[Rory]

I just. I don't think that is it. I Think there's.

[Damaris]

How many people do, you know, have a healthy. Like, a really good.

[Rory]

Oh, a lot of people who have a healthy relationship with their baby, and.

[Damaris]

They don't do nothing for their baby.

[Rory]

Mothers on Valentine's Day, Not Valentine's Day, but they go hard on that birthday, that Christmas.

[Damaris]

All right, what's the difference?

[Rory]

The difference is holidays have different meanings. The same way we had this conversation. Holidays have different meanings. Love Day is for your lover. And some people. Some people just believe that Love Day is for your lover. I guess it depends on what you think Love Day is.

[Damaris]

Okay, so explain to me the difference in a man, a baby, father doing something nice for his baby mother on Valentine's Day versus doing something nice for on her birthday, her birthday.

[Rory]

The holiday is about her birthday on Lover's Day. If you look at that holiday and say that it's for your lovers, which most people do, y' all might not, but most people think that that day is for your lovers. If that's not his lover, he wouldn't celebrate her on that day. I feel like that's like, just like it's like celebrating a mother on Father's Day. It's not for you. That. That holiday is not for you.

[Mall]

I just feel like if you go hard for your baby mother on her birthday, it's not that crazy to get her something on Valentine's Day.

[Rory]

Okay, that's. If you. If that's. Yeah.

[Damaris]

Because of her birthday, I will probably get it the same thing. Get on Valentine's Day, some flowers or something.

[Rory]

Like, okay, well, that's. I mean, and that's.

[Damaris]

You know what I'm saying? Like, just a nice bouquet of flowers and like, yo, happy birthday. Or. Or Happy Valentine's Day. Like, obviously, we're family. Like, and you have my child. Like. Yeah.

[Rory]

Okay. Well, some people look at it as a day for lovers. That's why on. On that day, people post their significant others. On that day, people get engaged. On that day, people get married. Because it's a day that's for lovers. That's what most people look at, as if y' all look at it something different.

[Damaris]

It's for lovers, too.

[Rory]

That's fine. I mean, sure, every holiday is for your lover, but.

[Damaris]

All right, people.

[Rory]

I was asked.

[Damaris]

Somebody.

[Rory]

Somebody told me. Somebody told me to ask you, mal, if you had a girlfriend and she had a baby daddy, would you be okay with him sending flowers and chocolates to her house on Valentine's Day, would.

[Damaris]

He be okay dying?

[Rory]

So that. So you know that it's inappropriate okay, cool. Just making sure. If it doesn't mean anything. If it doesn't mean anything, why you can't do it?

[Damaris]

If. If, if, like, she has a child with him, that's her baby father, he can send her flowers. I'm not mad at that. I'm not insecure like that. Like, it's not an error for me. Like, yo, why you sending me flowers, yo? Okay, he not insecure, yo, but I'm saying, like, what he mean by that? Get your goofy ass out of here. Nigga, you so stupid.

[Mall]

Yo, we.

[Damaris]

Why you sending shit here, yo? He gotta respect my house.

[Mall]

Okay, but what if you don't respect your house? What if she places the flowers in y' all bedroom?

[Damaris]

Flowers in my bedroom?

[Rory]

Yeah, right in front of. It's like, right in front. Like, on a little mantle above the TV in the bedroom.

[Damaris]

No.

[Mall]

And you walk in and she's smelling one of them.

[Damaris]

No, you put those in the living room. You know, you don't put those in the bedroom. Ain't doing that. You put them in the living room, though.

[Mall]

That's as far as your security goes.

[Damaris]

No, I'm just.

[Mall]

Once you cross in the bedroom, now we're an insecure.

[Damaris]

No, I don't want to be laying in bed looking at flowers that your baby father bought you. Like, it's like, it's cool, but, like, put them to the living room.

[Rory]

You will feel that way even about your wife. If you were married and she had a previous child before her baby father could just send her flowers. They chilling in the house.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Damaris]

Don't mind that.

[Rory]

That surprises me. Yeah. You say person that said, your girlfriend can't talk to other men, like, speak.

[Mall]

To them or even brothers. Your father.

[Damaris]

You can receive flowers without saying speaking.

[Rory]

Oh, she can't say thank you for the flowers? No. No.

[Mall]

Frame photo like they usually do with your food.

[Damaris]

Yeah, but you can't text them. No, I'm joking. Like. Yeah. Oh, from your baby father. That's not.

[Rory]

Somebody sent me something on doordash. Somebody sent me, like, for Valentine's Day or whatever. They just sent me, like, a bunch of stuff on doordash. Here, go. Here go me. They like, you got a surprise downstairs. I'm Just going downstairs, not thinking, like, wig off. Meek Mill, braids in. I get to that door to get my package, and that doordash nigga pulled that phone out, bro. I was like, delete that picture. Delete that. Don't fucking send it.

[Mall]

Mr. Malone don't know that.

[Damaris]

[Mall]

Mr. Malone sounds like a JV baseball coach.

[Rory]

Yo. But yeah. Anyway, how's your week?

[Mall]

Going Rory, it's been cool. Yeah, it's been, you know.

[Rory]

You got your cold tickets, punk.

[Mall]

No, I didn't. No, I did not get My code is funny punk.

[Damaris]

You got your code ticket, you punk.

[Mall]

It would be fun to hear the entire arena scream the punk part. Cuz that is definitely going to be ball.

[Damaris]

That's going to be ball.

[Mall]

And I. I hate that part, but I do love that song. No, I didn't get my tickets. I saw that you posted on your story the. The Gotham photo. They're yours. Secured.

[Damaris]

When they say you're going to. Yeah, I know you're going.

[Mall]

He's doing how many shows in New York?

[Rory]

Four so far. I'm sure he's gonna add another one.

[Damaris]

Where's he at? The Garden.

[Rory]

He's at the Garden once, Barclays twice, and USB arena once.

[Damaris]

Dope.

[Mall]

I feel like he maybe could have done a stadium.

[Rory]

He could have did MetLife for show.

[Mall]

With that, that amount of shows and how quick those tickets went. I think he could do MetLife. I don't know if he could do stadiums in every city, but I think Cole can. Can do MetLife for sure. I just don't know if I'd want to see J. Cole at MetLife. I don't. I don't really like rappers in stadiums. I'll be quite honest with you. Like how intimate a cold show is.

[Damaris]

Certain type of rapper can do a stadium. You have to have certain type of energy, certain type of stadium.

[Mall]

Yeah. Like Travis I would see in a stadium for sure anytime. But like hov by himself would be weird in the stadium.

[Rory]

Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that idea.

[Mall]

Like. No.

[Damaris]

Get Beyonce seeing him over Beyonce when he come out and do public service announcement.

[Mall]

In Paris too. In Paris, I went to on the Run one and two. They were both great shows. But it definitely helps when you have Beyonce in a stadium.

[Damaris]

Oh, well, it helps when you have Beyonce anyway. But I'm just saying, like, you got to have certain energy records.

[Mall]

Yeah. It's just. It's a little different when you're doing song cry in a stadium and Beyonce gets to do the harmonies. Like, it just adds a different effect to it.

[Damaris]

You have to cry now. Now you have.

[Mall]

Now we have to cry.

[Damaris]

Yeah, we have to sit here and cry now. It's so beautiful.

[Mall]

But yeah, I don't know. I mean, even with. Was it Kendrick and Scissor, they did stadiums, right?

[Rory]

Yes.

[Mall]

I'm curious what. What that was like.

[Rory]

They said, well, the ticket sold. No, of course yeah, but you mean just the experience.

[Mall]

Yeah, because I mean, in general. Like when we went to the Mr. Morale show, I feel like that set could have been in the stadium.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mall]

Like, it was. There was enough attractions to it, I feel like. But, yeah, I mean, I don't know. Baby, Keem and Kendrick running in circles in a stadium. It could work.

[Rory]

Yeah. But, yeah, I don't know. I don't know how I feel about Cole in the stadium. I'm excited to see him in an arena. I'm excited to be drunk, swaying side to side. Have a ball.

[Mall]

Well, I'm not doing the resale thing because those tickets are absolutely ridiculous. Do I. Do I ask? Do I reach out to Dreambow? Yo, y' all got a guest list?

[Rory]

You know they have a guest.

[Mall]

It's crazy, I know. It's last minute. Is there enough room?

[Rory]

Room for one more?

[Damaris]

You want me to hit somebody for you?

[Mall]

Who?

[Rory]

Who?

[Damaris]

Who?

[Rory]

Who?

[Mall]

From Dreamville you gonna hit?

[Damaris]

Hey, Cole.

[Mall]

What's his number?

[Damaris]

You think I can't hit Cole and get tickets, Ma?

[Rory]

I got better shit to do. Stop playing, bro.

[Damaris]

Yo, y', all, you don't think I can hit J. Cole and get tickets to his show?

[Mall]

How would you reach out to J. Cole? DM him? Is he that active on. On the Gram?

[Rory]

Mal, you don't hit your own friends for tickets to their shows. You not hitting fucking Cole.

[Damaris]

I'm just saying, like, if you think I. If I think I was to hit him, you don't think he would give me tickets?

[Rory]

No.

[Damaris]

Why not?

[Mall]

But how? Like, how would you get a hold.

[Damaris]

Of, like, would you, fam?

[Mall]

I meet him at the basketball court.

[Damaris]

I got. I got. You know me. I know people in places, though. I'm just saying, if I hit Cole, you don't think he would give me tickets?

[Rory]

You think Biggs could give me tickets?

[Mall]

No. Biggs know anyone in Dream?

[Damaris]

Definitely not.

[Mall]

Is there any affiliation with that whatsoever?

[Damaris]

No, not at all.

[Rory]

I feel like Biggs know everybody. Like, whenever I have a problem, I think that Biggs could probably fix it. I ain't gonna ask him, but I feel like he could.

[Damaris]

But why y' all think Cole wouldn't give me tickets, though? I'm just saying, I don't think he'd.

[Mall]

Reply to your message, is what I'm saying, let alone give you tickets.

[Damaris]

Yeah, see, y' all don't be knowing, man. How y' all know I don't speak to Cole? Mal, how y' all know? I'm just asking a question, baby D. How you know how to speak?

[Rory]

Because I know who you speak to.

[Mall]

Huh?

[Rory]

I know who you speak to. You don't speak to Cole.

[Damaris]

You don't know who I speak to.

[Rory]

All right.

[Damaris]

How you know who I. Hold on. Cause you just said, how do you know who I speak to?

[Mall]

Because you're on FaceTime 99% of the time that you're in this office. So we do.

[Damaris]

I'm not in the office, but for, what, four or five hours out of this?

[Rory]

So you see, you wait until you get home in bed to talk to that. That's what you said.

[Damaris]

Nah, I'm just saying, how you know I don't text Cole? How you know we don't. I'm saying, how you know we don't speak? Okay, I'm just saying, how would you know that? Like, I don't know who you be talking to. I can't say. Damaris, you don't be. I can't say that. It would surprise me. Like, yeah, I'll be talking. Oh, word. But you how.

[Rory]

If I was in here talking about people, like, regularly, you would know, like, whether I talk to them or not.

[Damaris]

So. Oh, y' all think I've been talking about cold. Okay, got it.

[Rory]

We think that. Now we think that. Not everybody thinks.

[Damaris]

I can't just be expressing my hurt and disappointment. They gotta be talking. That's what I'm just saying. Is it talking, or is it just me expressing my disappointment in my.

[Mall]

Well, if you're that disappointed, why would you talk to Cole regularly if you're that disappointed?

[Rory]

I'm not texting a back. That's disappointed in me. Yeah, it's mad disappointed in me. I don't text them back.

[Damaris]

No, but I'm just saying, like, not, like, on a, you know, personal level, just on an artistic level.

[Mall]

Oh, so you. You text Cole like, yo, I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.

[Damaris]

Yeah, okay, but, yo, I'm not mad, bro. I'm just disappointed, man. You left me out here taking grenades in the trenches for you, bro. You know what I'm saying?

[Mall]

Like, I'm just.

[Damaris]

That's all. You never had a friend or somebody you cool with? You'd be like, damn, bro, why you did that, man? It's like that type of like. It's like, that's. That. That's all it is. You know what I'm saying? But it let me get two tickets to the show.

[Mall]

Okay, well, then get us two tickets.

[Damaris]

Say no more. Got you done.

[Mall]

I'm gonna add it to the calendar now.

[Rory]

Don't hold Your breath, baby.

[Damaris]

Which one you want to go to? All of them.

[Mall]

If y'. All, if y' all that cool, we should go to all the shows.

[Damaris]

No, I ain't doing that.

[Mall]

Dinner before.

[Damaris]

I ain't never going to all shows.

[Mall]

I'm not all shows. It's crazy.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I'm not doing all.

[Rory]

Going cold four nights in a row. Crazy.

[Damaris]

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

[Rory]

It's a lot of rapping.

[Damaris]

It's not that cold outside. That's too much cold. No, we ain't doing that.

[Mall]

I'm trying to think. I went to what was which tour? The Easy Store. I went to the Garden and I went to the Prudential Center. Back to back nights.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Kind of gay.

[Damaris]

It was pretty gay.

[Mall]

Well, I went to the Newark one because it was the 10 year anniversary of College Dropout. So it was like two different shows. But I still probably would. The Easy show was like my favorite show of all time. I would have went to Philly if I had tickets.

[Damaris]

You like Jesus more than Glow in the Dark?

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Was dope.

[Mall]

I'm trying.

[Damaris]

The best shows I've been to.

[Mall]

I think Jesus is probably the best. The best show I've been to, period. Which J. Cole tour is the greatest of all time?

[Rory]

Hahaha. No, I don't. I don't think that's the best show I've ever been to is if we're talking about rap shows. I don't know that at Madison Square. I don't know. But I don't go to a lot of rap shows. I don't want to see rappers rap like on like live and like on stage. Like I'm cool.

[Damaris]

I don't want to see rappers rap live.

[Rory]

I'm cool.

[Damaris]

Like I want to see them do that thing that they do live.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm kind of cool. Like I've missed all the Jay Z shows. I've never seen Jay Z live. And my heart breaks because really, I know I probably never will. Yeah, I missed him.

[Mall]

Yeah. I don't know if he's ever gonna go on another solo tour.

[Rory]

Yeah, it's over for me.

[Damaris]

Nah, hell no. Why would he?

[Rory]

I don't think you're going on a tour with anybody. Like I think, I think that's just clip. But that besides missing that B sides was hard.

[Mall]

B sides was great. The 442 tour was incredible. Heart of the City's I don't think Jay Z has had a bad set that I've ever seen.

[Damaris]

That Best of Both Worlds tours would have been special.

[Mall]

It would have been special until you.

[Damaris]

And Tata ruined it those first two nights. That was a great show. Great show.

[Rory]

Damn, man. Cardi has been going viral for her show.

[Damaris]

I'm seeing that look lit.

[Rory]

I ain't gonna. That shit looks crazy. Her production value is up there, probably the highest for any female rap. Female rapper I've seen. Her production is crazy. Female rapper that I've seen. Cardi's production has been the craziest.

[Mall]

Well, you didn't go to Gag City, sis.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I'm about to say you did. You said, oh, you've never seen Nikki live?

[Sponsor Voice (Verizon)]

You ever seen Nick?

[Rory]

No, but I've seen the clips. But I'm talking about production value. I'm not talking about the rapping, the quality of her performance. I'm talking about the production value as far as, like, the amount of money that has was put into the show.

[Mall]

I mean, Maul, you went to Missy Elliott in Chicago. Was it last year? Two years ago.

[Damaris]

Two years ago.

[Mall]

Do you think Cardi B's putting on a better show than Missy Misdemeanor?

[Rory]

Nobody ever said. Nobody ever said, like, I hate you.

[Mall]

Said of any female rapper.

[Rory]

You. It's like you're not listening to me. I said production value. I don't care if she went up there and mimed the words. I'm talking about the amount of money that was put into the show as far as, like, the set, the outfits, things like that.

[Mall]

Gotcha.

[Rory]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Mall]

I've only seen clips.

[Damaris]

I've only seen a clip. And I can promise you that she doesn't have a bigger production than Missy.

[Rory]

Okay, Missy, I wouldn't be surprised at. I'm saying female shows, female rappers, shows that I've seen, like Nikki, Megan, all of that. And Megan. Look, Megan had an amazing show, but.

[Mall]

I only saw the clip of her falling out of the chair and saying it was the government, which I thought was hilarious.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah. No, it's not. It was. It's way, way more than that.

[Mall]

Did she already do New York?

[Rory]

No, New York is much later. I think she's only done, like, she's on the west coast, la. She bought out Kehlani, she bought out Tyler. She bought out Blueface. Okay.

[Damaris]

She curved Blueface, though. Why she did that to Blueface?

[Mall]

What'd she do?

[Damaris]

He came out, tried to hug her. She walked away from that.

[Rory]

She might not have known. You don't heat in a moment. You don't know right at that.

[Damaris]

She Wasn't she just wasn't trying to hug that with no shirt on. Cardi wasn't hugging Blueface with no shirt on. Like, she's like, I don't know you like that.

[Mall]

I don't think I've ever seen Blueface with a shirt on.

[Damaris]

Had his arms open, was walking towards the car. He turned right away from that, started dancing. I was like, damn. Like you can't hug a. That you got a dope record with like. All right. Yeah.

[Rory]

I suppose she going viral right now because she addressed Bia. I guess she had said she was doing the. The be a pretty and petty. She has like a silent thing. So when it says name five be a song, arena is supposed to go silent. Whatever. And Bia says something like talking about Stefan Diggs and the fact that he didn't, you know, he got mad baby daddies but he doesn't have a certain amount of yards. Whatever she said. And Cardi came out. Huh? Or baby mamas. I'm sorry? Baby mamas.

[Damaris]

I thought she was breaking news. I'm about to say Peach, give us the breaking news ticker.

[Mall]

He got both of them.

[Rory]

Stephan was saying he has mad kids and baby mamas or whatever. And Cardi responded and was like, just cause I talk about my baby daddy don't mean you could talk about my baby daddy.

[Mall]

Okay. Yeah. Which I feel like that good for B though. That's. That's a really big look to be like a staple of the show.

[Damaris]

Even if you're like being talked about.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Even if it's name five be a song's going to put his pointed to your head and then arena go silent.

[Mall]

Yeah. Literally an entire arena is focused on me for a second. It's not my show.

[Damaris]

I get it.

[Mall]

I'm really living rent free in your head. If in your sold out arena tour your biggest moment is to talk about me.

[Damaris]

That's. I definitely understand what you're saying because.

[Mall]

I, I like Bia. I fuck with Bia's music.

[Damaris]

No, you don't.

[Mall]

I like London.

[Damaris]

I like London too.

[Rory]

That n said I like London.

[Damaris]

London is a great city. I love London.

[Mall]

No, there's been a few beer joints that I thought were cool, but I always felt like Cardi giving that as much attention as she did was a better look for Bia than anything. Like.

[Damaris]

Oh, of course. Like it's Cardi like like really focused.

[Mall]

On you is this.

[Damaris]

Yeah. That energy is directed towards you. So. Yeah, I get it.

[Rory]

But that's rap beef. Ma has been saying that for forever. Since the rap. That's rap beef.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Beef with a bigger artist is.

[Damaris]

Rap beef is profitable. And if you, you know, use it right, you can. You can capitalize off it be. It can capitalize off that. If she does it right.

[Mall]

We've been so focused on. On Cole backing out that I think it was a strategy to try to get us away from the fact that Meg still hasn't replied to Nicki Minaj. And I've been waiting for Damaris to talk up for her favorite rapper. It's been, what, three years? I'm still waiting. She's still on the clock, in my opinion.

[Damaris]

What was the Nikki record?

[Rory]

Bigfoot.

[Damaris]

That was the name of the record.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Damaris]

You know, I don't remember songs like that. I can't remember that record. Yeah.

[Mall]

Takeover, Ether, Bigfoot.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Right in line. It's right in line with the classics.

[Mall]

But that was enough to. To have to reply. A straight up record from arguably the biggest and greatest female rapper of all time.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

A direct record.

[Rory]

That song was Ass Rip.

[Damaris]

Who?

[Rory]

My mentions ass song was Ass Bigfoot.

[Mall]

Oh. But we came in here and said big. The beat was horrible.

[Damaris]

Like, I don't remember the record, so y' all might be right.

[Rory]

I do not remember lying on your dad mama. Lying on your dad mama. Lying on your dad mama. You don't remember that song. That was so bad.

[Damaris]

Especially when you say it like that. No, I don't think. I don't think I've ever even heard.

[Rory]

That song was bad.

[Mall]

Think if I remember the story correctly, what she recorded it to. They couldn't get the clearance or whatever, so someone else, like, made a beat last minute over her vocals and it just was. It was just not it.

[Damaris]

I remember that beer song to Cardi being terrible because she was in the studio rapping.

[Mall]

That. That was secondhand embarrassment.

[Damaris]

I remember that being that. That I remember being terrible. Like, this is. This sucks.

[Rory]

This sucks.

[Mall]

She picked a. Because, like, that had just came out. So she picked like a diet like that. That type of beat.

[Damaris]

But it was like.

[Mall]

The ending was funny, though.

[Rory]

That was a year of Beef.

[Mall]

That.

[Rory]

That really was a year of beef. It started with Megan and Nikki, and then I think it went to Cardi and Bia and then it went to the boys. It was just a year of just. It was bad.

[Damaris]

I was 24.

[Mall]

Yeah. And we're. And look, we're still caught up in this beer and Cardi. It just won't die.

[Damaris]

Beef never dies.

[Mall]

Is. Is this that. That error is 50 in ja rule. No, no, Baby, it's still going, though. Like, what if they. What if they saw each other on a plane?

[Damaris]

It's a good try. It's not. This ever is 50 and gyro. It's really not.

[Rory]

No.

[Mall]

I saw Ja Rule on TMZ today. They had asked if he'd ever squash beef with Tony Yale. I'm like, dmz, you're a little late here.

[Damaris]

Will you ever. You know how long they've been lucky?

[Mall]

We going on statue of limitations for the beef.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Nah, that beef is forever.

[Rory]

Y' all going to the Wale and Smino show?

[Mall]

I definitely want to. Yeah. If I'm. If I'm free for the New York one, I definitely want to go to that.

[Rory]

Are y' all big Smino fans? I got asked.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I was like, I've never really.

[Mall]

I like Smeato a lot. We had one the show one time.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I know.

[Mall]

I remember. Yes. Meat was dope, and that's. That's a good pairing for a tour.

[Damaris]

But I don't think I've ever seen a Wale show. Like, a whole Wale set.

[Mall]

Really?

[Damaris]

I don't think so.

[Mall]

Yeah. I was about to say I haven't. I feel like I've been to a Wiley show with you before.

[Damaris]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Webster Hall. Webster Hall.

[Rory]

Yeah, we all went together. Yeah, we did. I got drunk and hacked the New Royal Mall. I Twitter. I remember that day.

[Damaris]

How would you hack.

[Rory]

That was the day of our. Our billboard went up.

[Mall]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

Yep. We left from seeing the billboard and went and seen Wale.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And then we. We seen him in Vegas, too, shaking ass.

[Mall]

Yeah, that was fun. But, I mean, when you go to Wally show, I. I suggest everyone if he's in your city to go, because it'll remind you how many hits Wally has, and then we can come back and have that conversation that you guys are all ducking. Not you guys, but Wally in A Versus and who he would beat as far as your faves. So just go to the show, get a reminder of how many hits that.

[Damaris]

I told you the other day. I think it's closer to Cole than I thought it was. I do.

[Mall]

This isn't cold hate, because we still want to go to the show, E. It's Wale love. It's not cold hate.

[Damaris]

No, we don't hate Cole.

[Mall]

But, yeah, if Wale had a different PR agent, I think this conversation would make more sense to the masses.

[Damaris]

It's a lot like you said that, and I definitely was like, we're just saying.

[Mall]

Nope.

[Damaris]

But the more I sit and think about it, I'm like, he has a lot of dope records and he has a lot of good albums. It's a lot closer than I thought. It is.

[Mall]

Yeah. No, absolutely. I see that. Demerit says bucket list artist concert. I saw that during pre production, and I don't know if I have. I do want to see Janet. That's on my list. But I don't know who's like, a bucket list bucket list that I haven't seen already.

[Rory]

That's alive, Janet. Three times alive.

[Mall]

That's what I'm saying. Alive, wise. Like, I. I've seen pretty much all the artists that I do want to see. I'd see Bruno alive. As much as we've cheated on him for the past few years, I would like to see a Bruno show go to Vegas. Well, he has world tours.

[Damaris]

37. Bruno's walking around in Vegas.

[Mall]

Shut up.

[Damaris]

It is. I'm just playing.

[Rory]

Thank you.

[Mall]

I don't think I've ever seen. I haven't seen Usher live. I would like to see Usher live.

[Damaris]

I saw him last. What was it, two. Two years ago now? Last year at mall.

[Rory]

Just living our bucket list. Like, he just. He done hit everything on our bucket list.

[Damaris]

I didn't. I wanted to see his Vegas residency. I didn't see that, but I saw him at the Barclays last year. I think it was last year. Yeah, he killed that.

[Mall]

I. I do want to see Nerd solo because I saw them with Common one time, but I know it'll never happen because Chad and Fro, like, hate each other now and are suing each other. But an Nerd tour would be something that would be on my bucket list for sure.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Mall]

Or at least, like, if they did, like, a set at Flognog or something. Like, I just want to see Nerd, like, come back and reunite at Coachella like that. That, to me, would be a great, great tour because then you get a whole Pharrell set as well in that entire thing. And, you know, Pharrell's bringing out everybody.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Pharrell and friends, I think could be a headliner at Coachella.

[Rory]

Yeah, for sure.

[Mall]

That would be something that would be crazy to see. Even if it's not Nerd, like, Pharrell plus five.

[Damaris]

Have you seen Wayne la?

[Mall]

I was. I've stood next to you at the Apollo. No, no, no. Not.

[Damaris]

Not that show. Like, and like a. Like a. Like an arena.

[Mall]

No, no. Never have. Never seen him pull out the guitar. For how to Love. But I did see him in New Orleans. It was Wayne backed by the Roots. So it was, you know, a little different than a regular Wayne show. That's fire. But yeah, I've never said. I've never went to like an actual Wayne tour like that. But what. What's the. What's the greatest show you've been to besides Best of both worlds that you guys ruined?

[Damaris]

The greatest hard. That's tough. I mean, Janet Jackson, Rhythm Nation was dope. I was a kid, but I definitely remember how incredible that was. Glow in the Dark, Kanye. Drake and Amigos show was dope.

[Mall]

That was great.

[Rory]

Oh, that was really sad. I missed that. I know. That was fire.

[Damaris]

That was fire. Like the production, Drake's production on that one.

[Mall]

I was curious how the Amigos were going to do in an arena. And they were great.

[Damaris]

No, they.

[Mall]

I mean, they were doing the three man weave. They were.

[Damaris]

I always say that was the show where I realized, like, yeah, I understand why the Migos are who they are. Yeah, they had. They got a lot of records.

[Mall]

Oh, hell yeah. And they. And they're great performers.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Ironically, the. The most slept on show I've ever been to in my life was I actually was working it because we were shooting the recap video for it for some reason. Def Jam to promote Jeezy TM103, they did like a six year anniversary of TM101. It was the most random. It was like the six and a half year anniversary of 101.

[Damaris]

They do like, just random.

[Mall]

And I was like, all right, whatever. I love team like him performing TM101 in its entirety. That's super cool. I was excited for that. So we're shooting the recap and then they shut down the green room completely. I'm like, well, we're. We have to film him. And they're like, nah, y' all gotta leave. I'm like, all right, cool. So we go down because we had like the. The photo picture in Highline Ballroom. I don't know if it's. What do you think? 600 people standing maybe. It's a small. It's a small venue. Jeezy comes out first guest, first song brings out Jay Z at Highline Ballroom to do Go Crazy. Next record brings out Kanye West.

[Rory]

Oh, wow.

[Damaris]

That highlight.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Mall]

Jesus brings out Kai was next song brings out the locks. Next song brings out Fab.

[Damaris]

Yeah, that's wild. At High Line.

[Mall]

Dope. He came out to go crazy, which I was like, all right. Starting out with this. When Jay Z. I thought the whole place was gonna like legitimately collapse. Imagine that small ass venue. Just Jay Z walks out on the first song.

[Damaris]

I never even knew, like Jay must.

[Mall]

Had somewhere to be.

[Damaris]

I never even knew he'd been to Highline Ballroom. I never knew Jay Z been inside.

[Mall]

We performed at Highline Ballroom. We've been in that green room plenty of times. It's smaller than this office. Imagine that green room with the locks. Jay Z, Kanye, Fab Jeezy.

[Damaris]

Oh, no. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Mall]

Yeah, this, it was. It was one of the greatest shows I had ever been to in my life. It was so fucking good.

[Rory]

Yeah. A capacity of 700 with Jay Z in the room. That's crazy.

[Damaris]

Jay Z, Jay Z and Kanye.

[Mall]

If you go to the. If you go all the way. Scroll through my entire Instagram. I don't think I archived it. Some of my first IG photos I ever posted were from the show of Jay Z. Kanye. Like it was absolutely insane.

[Damaris]

That's how you know Jay with Jeezy.

[Mall]

Oh, yeah.

[Damaris]

To get Jay Z to perform at Highline Ballroom for a six and a.

[Mall]

Half year anniversary back then.

[Rory]

That'S crazy. I would've passed out.

[Mall]

And then you had Kanye come out right after.

[Damaris]

Yeah, that's wild. Yeah, that's when they did that was we fuck with Jeezy, we gonna do this for him.

[Mall]

Like, yo, when he stopped, go crazy and then the put on beat started. Even though we just saw Jay Z come out, nobody was like, he not gonna bring Kanye up. Kanye comes walking out.

[Rory]

I feel like back in the. I feel like this was the last of the era of like shit like this even being possible though. I feel like after a while.

[Damaris]

Nah, you know what though? Not to cut you off. You know who did a show like that was like this, probably in a smaller room. And I was like, I can't believe he put on this type of show in this room. When the dream did sobs.

[Mall]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Damaris]

The show he put on in sobs. I was like, yeah, why is the dream in here? Like, this production is not for sobs.

[Mall]

Like, but he said he wanted to do the small.

[Damaris]

Yeah, no, like that was perfect for small intimate rooms. Like that was. That was a dope show.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Mall]

Sobs and sorry to go back to the Jeezy thing. I think that was the day Otis came out. I think that was the same day that Otis came out.

[Damaris]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Mall]

What a fucking day.

[Rory]

No warrior now mall.

[Rory]

Cool like this doesn't happen anymore. I don't know if it's just not cool to me. Maybe because I've aged out and like the younger kids are doing cool and having moments like that. But like I feel like cool like that just doesn't happen anymore. With records, with shows, with nothing. Like where are the did just posse? Big name artists.

[Mall]

Just Lincoln at Weird AP Chappelle's Ranch in Ohio.

[Damaris]

Like we're the posse. Big name artists.

[Mall]

That too.

[Rory]

Eat it up.

[Mall]

That too.

[Damaris]

I'm just saying, like where, where's. Where is this generation's the dream? Where's this generation's the Jeezy?

[Rory]

Where's the Jeezy is funniest fuck.

[Damaris]

Where's the Jeezy at?

[Mall]

The Young Dream and the Jeez.

[Damaris]

Where's the Kanye at? Like, where's this generation's Kanye and Jesus?

[Rory]

Who would this generation's whatchamacallit be? Who would that be? The R B artists. Not the rapper. We all know. We don't know who the rappers are.

[Mall]

It's more like the dream. It'd be women. I don't even know if there's like a male tie.

[Rory]

No, Ty is not this generation, baby.

[Damaris]

Yeah, ties.

[Mall]

Yeah. I guess you're right. Male. I don't know. August Alcio.

[Damaris]

He's not this generation either.

[Rory]

Would it be Gibbyon?

[Mall]

That's tough to say because the Dream is. When you say the dream, they have to be like, all right, one of the greatest writers ever, one of the greatest producers.

[Rory]

So would it be Leon?

[Mall]

I mean, he's on a trajectory.

[Damaris]

Yeah, He's. He's. He's trending that way. But.

[Mall]

But Dream also had such.

[Damaris]

When the Dream did that SOB show, he was like, the dream solidified. Yeah, I can't believe I'm going to see the Dream in SOBS like that'. I remember feeling like that, like, yo, he's performing in sobs. I thought we had the venue wrong. I was like, there's no way. The Dream is performing all those records he got at sobs. And then we get there and see the production that he did for that room. I was like, we're in sobs. Like, you know, the people I've seen in sobs, Like, I mean, but I've.

[Mall]

Seen superstars in their first show at sobs.

[Damaris]

First time Kanye performed was at SOBS in New York.

[Mall]

Unfortunately, was not at that one. I was at Kendrick's first show at sobs. Not only was that Kendrick's first SOB show, I was at J Rock show when Kendrick was the hype man and battled Sirius Jones and Charles Hamilton in the crowd. His name was K Dot, and he was just the one that was rapping along with J Rock. And then just Charles Hamilton, Sirius Jones. There was a time when if you were in New York City, you would just randomly walk into Sirius Jones and Charles Hamilton battling each other. It happened.

[Damaris]

It happened bi weekly, bi weekly. We battling bi weekly on any cruise.

[Mall]

And Charles Hamilton would find out where Sirius Jones was, get a camera, and just run to where he was. So it happened in SOBS again. And then Kendrick Lamar just starts rapping. Then I saw his. His first real show at sobs. I saw Drake at SOBS for his first show. Dope Kanye would have loved to see. But, yeah, I mean, I feel like every legend has kind of started there.

[Rory]

If you're not from New York, sobs has a 400 standing capacity. It's a very small room. It's not big.

[Mall]

Unless you're Benny the Butcher and you somehow fit 1500 people in there.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Move every table, every chair.

[Mall]

That they move the pole.

[Damaris]

Yeah. They move the cinder block in the middle of the building.

[Mall]

That. That. Thank God there was not a fire. That. That Benny show was the most off code fire marshals nightmare of all time. I don't know how he got that many people in SOVs, but they do.

[Damaris]

A great job, like, clearing that out when it's over. Like, open all those doors.

[Mall]

Yeah. Even rest in Peace. When Prodigy and Saigon fought, they got everyone out of there pretty quickly.

[Damaris]

Yeah, well, they had to. That was. They had to get everybody out.

[Mall]

Yo, if the walls could talk at sobs, man, that would be the craziest shit.

[Rory]

Rory, do you miss those days of like when you were like on the come up of like, you know, on.

[Damaris]

The come up on this come up.

[Rory]

Trying to break into the days when.

[Damaris]

You want to come up and you would just hustling and bustling through the city, through the streets of Manhattan, just.

[Mall]

A dollar song era right now, just reminiscing about the fall off.

[Damaris]

Rory, do you miss the days when you wanted.

[Mall]

Yes. And actually I, you know, recipes to Sinead that had me like reminiscing on those days because, you know, she would always be at every sob show with me type thing. Yeah, no, those days, Santos days, SOB days were the greatest. I remember when Scissor used to just be around like trying to get on stage. It was just a different time that I don't think could ever happen in New York anymore because it just. People don't live here. It's not like an artist driven city anymore. This was. It was. I'm so happy that I was blessed to be in that era and in being born at the time that I did. As much as I'm very much jealous of a lot of your. Your era, I did. I am very blessed with mine because y' all was. That's not even fair.

[Damaris]

Some legendary man.

[Mall]

But the blog era, outside was a lot of fun.

[Damaris]

Blogger was cool. I remember like, I wasn't like as outside during the blog era. Like it was a lot of. But that was a couple of events I would pop out at and it was definitely a cool time. It was definitely good energy and seeing a lot of those artists where they are today, like, it's actually dope to see that.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

I don't know if we get that anymore though. Like now with the Internet and social media. I don't know if artists even feel the need to go that route.

[Rory]

They don't. And also a lot of the young artists have that same issue that the high school students have or that the, the people, they're insisocial, they don't know how to go out and be out around people. Like, they can't do like that. They feel awkward. So much social anxiety these days, brother. Like, no one goes outside, brother. Like no one knows how to go outside and. And meet new people. I feel like back in them days that Rory is talking about, everybody just wanted to be on and, like, it was so much cross networking. Everybody just was, like, climbing together and making new friends and making new connections. These new artists feel like they don't have to do that shit.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Because once you open your phone and feel like you got 10,000 followers, you. You feel like you made it. You don't need to go outside and do shit.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

I got lifelong friends that I met at Southpaw in Brooklyn in 2010. Like, just people I just met there. And then.

[Damaris]

Southpaw, wow.

[Mall]

It's like. Which I now I think is a grocery store.

[Damaris]

Wow. Southpaw and Brooklyn. Damn. You know how many nights I've been in that?

[Mall]

Oh, my God, that was a spot.

[Damaris]

Southpaw, wow. Yeah, you went back with that one.

[Mall]

Those were. Those were the days.

[Damaris]

Yeah, you went back.

[Mall]

Knitting Factory.

[Damaris]

The R B party was dope down at the Knitting Factory Village Underground.

[Mall]

Sunday nights, open mic was the best. I'm with y', all, though, that those were better times. Like, I missed the times when Vashti was the most famous person in the room.

[Rory]

Oh, my God, good times.

[Mall]

Shout out to Vashti that. That's the time I miss not everyone having a hundred thousand followers and think they're famous. Vashti was the icon.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Like, you'd be like, Vashy, DJing tonight. Oh, we out.

[Damaris]

Those days are over.

[Rory]

Y' all remember Kyra Chaos was a dj?

[Damaris]

She still is.

[Rory]

Oh, she is. Why was she still. Oh, I didn't know that. But I remember when she became one, and it was, like, a thing.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

I will never forget that.

[Damaris]

I believe she's still DJing. I believe she's still. I haven't seen a posting any, you know, DJing like, her DJing at any events and all like that, but I think she still is a dj.

[Mall]

I remember the day Austin Mills said, yo, I think I want a dj, and now he has a remix with Bruno Mars.

[Damaris]

Of course he does.

[Rory]

Of course.

[Damaris]

Austin Mills shout out to Austin and Bruno Mars. Of course they would. Who else would Austin have a remix with? It would have to be Bruno. Now, seeing what Austin took it, though, is. Is dope. It's dope to see his. You know, his trajectory and where he landed. Like, that's fire.

[Mall]

It's. It's so fun to watch, like, your friend be famous, because I just don't. Like, I can't even view him that way. It's so weird. Like, yeah, even when we were at the. What's that really high point in Hudson.

[Damaris]

Yards, the P. The edge.

[Mall]

The edge when he Performed there, dude. Like, like, women literally fainting when he walked out. I'm like, bro, that's Austin.

[Damaris]

Wait, women fainted when I was living, right?

[Mall]

The amount of people that are like, like fans of his. Like, yeah, no, no, fans, Fans, front row T shirts. Like, yeah, they all wear the same glasses that he wear. Like, I'm like, yo, this is, that's why this is so weird.

[Rory]

You got mad famous friends that you came up with. That's dope. Like, oh, you got Raven.

[Mall]

Yeah, yeah, that is. That is also strange when people like bring, hey, do you know rabies? Could you think we could get her to do something? I was like, I don't know, man.

[Damaris]

I don't know.

[Mall]

Reach out to her.

[Damaris]

I don't know. I haven't spoken. I don't know what her price is these days. Have no clue.

[Mall]

Oh, I know. I can't afford Raven anymore. Anytime Raven does something for me, it's out of pure friendship. I cannot afford her.

[Rory]

What you do you like throw her lunch or something? Like, yo, like, you know I owe you.

[Damaris]

I got you on some lunch.

[Mall]

I just try to get as much money as I can in the budget, just not for her to take, but just to work with because she's so used to having way bigger budgets than I have. She doesn't take any fees on anything. So. Yeah, but it's, it's definitely a thank you. That's all I can give at that point.

[Damaris]

That's fire, man. I love seeing people like make it and sit out and say they want to do something and actually stay to it and. Yeah, no, become successful. That's fire.

[Rory]

Where is the, the music scene now though, if it's not in New York? Because like Rory said, like the right. You don't come here to grind and be an artist. Where the is it? Is it Atlanta? Is it la?

[Mall]

So LA is different. I can only speak from outside looking in because I don't live in LA and I've never lived there. But the difference between the scenes with, with New York, where to me the events were fan based. Every event in LA to me is industry based. There's not like casual fans at like small music venues in la. It's always like in Def Jams, putting on a showcase. So like it's, it's never really. From what I've seen, like if, if I speak to reason, I'm sure he'd be like 9 Carson. Actual real people go to real shows and shit, but I've only experienced just straight up industry shit in la. When it comes to music. Not like, yo, we're just doing a showcase at the Viper Room and it's a bunch of like 20 year old kids that just want to be on the scene. It's just always.

[Damaris]

I feel like it's still that scene in New York though. I just, we just not on that scene. It has to be like every generation has that scene. I just think we outgrow it and we no longer like in that crowd. But like, I'm pretty sure there's that still that scene. Like there's a Vashti in New York right now.

[Mall]

Yeah, I think on the event side I'm sure there is. But the mute, like, are the younger artists with a young fan base even like doing sobs?

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Like, are they doing the small circuit run to start their career? Because like what we've seen is mostly you catch a record and you end up on the Rolling loud stage in one week. Like, like Ice Spice would have done sobs if it was a different era.

[Damaris]

Yeah, for sure.

[Mall]

But now she goes straight to the top.

[Damaris]

Yeah, the timing is different. The timing is different. The way people, you know, the access is different. And also, you know, just the way people, you know, mix with their audience and find their audience is different too. Like social media changed a lot. Like it, it kind of removed the need to do certain things and go about things a certain way. Yeah, you kind of cut the line. It's like the easiest, like I want to say easy pass because you still got to put that work in. But it's kind of like the flash pass at Six Flags. It's like, you know, we could get there. We might not have to wait that long. Well, we're going to have to wait a little bit still. But that's what social media does. It just changed everything. It just changed that. It cut that, you know, I guess line a little short and having to go to SOBS for a few days and go to New York and sleep on your man's couch for like a month and just go to the studio, stay in your own crib, get some little pre production. Pre production equipment and upload that to itunes and like where we said you'll be enrolling loud next month. Like.

[Mall]

Yeah, you don't have to do the college circuit.

[Damaris]

Yeah, it's just a different time.

[Mall]

Yeah. Because even like remember the showcases and I'm, I'm definitely dating myself when artists used to have to sell a certain amount of tickets to get on the bill. Like you have to sell five tickets to even get a five minute slot.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Don't I guarantee you people like Drake, Kendrick, Cole all went through that. And that's why they're all great performers. They know what it's like to perform to people that have no interest in you whatsoever. Like, you have to win a crowd over. That's so tough to do if you just open it up for another artist. And all the people there are just waiting to see the artists that they actually came to see. And now you're just staring at a bunch of people like this and you got to win them over. That's really tough.

[Damaris]

That's like the comedy scene.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Oh, that's rough.

[Damaris]

Like when you up as a comedy club and the comic is outside, like trying to get people to come inside barking to watch their set. Like that is that grind like that comedy club grind? Like comedians don't get enough credit for that because I don't think that will ever change.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Like social media or not, I don't think that will ever change with comics. Like they're gonna forever have to do that, like stand outside the comedy club. You got to get 10 people to come in here and like sit in here and wait for you to go on stage and then they will give.

[Mall]

You two minutes at 2am not exactly.

[Rory]

Though, because you have the, the Drew Skis and the Monas and they didn't have to do that. They got famous.

[Damaris]

Yeah, but those are not, they're not stand up comics though. They're just funny content creators.

[Mall]

Yeah, they're online.

[Damaris]

I'm talking about stand up comedy.

[Rory]

Okay. Just stand up.

[Damaris]

Yeah, like that, that grind. I don't think that ever changes. I don't see it. It hasn't changed yet. And like Eddie Murphy has probably done with a lot of these comics are still currently doing. Chappelle has done with a lot of these comics are still currently doing at the Comedy Cellar and all of those. Those spots downtown. Like, so when will it change? Stand up comics? Yes. There are funny content creators on social media. Like a Drew Ski who have like huge followings, huge platforms. I don't know if Drew Ski will ever have a stand up special on a Netflix or something like that. I don't know if I see that.

[Mall]

Well, didn't he do the bar and we're very pro Drew on the show. Didn't he do like the Barclays and like kind of bombed.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Cause like he.

[Damaris]

Well, it was his show. It was like. It wasn't a stand up.

[Rory]

It was like a.

[Damaris]

It was like the could have been. Right. Could have been records thing. Like he was having people come out, perform. Somebody got. Cause it was in Canada, right? Somebody couldn't get through the border.

[Mall]

I forgot.

[Damaris]

Was it like a, I forgot one of those rappers, I think it was.

[Rory]

Soulja Boy or somebody. I can't remember.

[Damaris]

Yeah, one of them didn't make it across the border or something like that.

[Mall]

Big Draco was making it through customs. No way. Not Big Draco.

[Damaris]

But yeah, even like, I don't know if Drew Ski will ever do a stand up. I don't know if that's his passion to actually do like an hour stand up comedy show. Like, he'll have like, you know, entertainment. He'll host and be funny while he's hosting. But I don't know if he'll do like a stand up, a stand up special.

[Mall]

I, I, we never followed up with each other. Did everyone dedicate their Christmas Eve to watching Ti special?

[Rory]

Oh, I forgot about that.

[Mall]

I saw, I started seeing clips on Christmas Day and no, I'm not bad, I'm not wasting.

[Damaris]

And I actually heard it was better than people said it was, though.

[Mall]

I mean, people probably clip the worst parts because that's just what the Internet does. But yeah, the clips I saw were rough. Like really rough.

[Damaris]

And doesn't Cat have a new standup?

[Mall]

Yeah, he does. I haven't watched it yet.

[Damaris]

I gotta watch Cat. And two, I started watching half of Mike Epps new stand up.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Damaris]

And then I left the crib. I said I didn't go back to, but I want to, I want to start that over and watch that because that's one of my. Mike Epps is one of my favorite comedians.

[Mall]

I'm adding to my 2026 predictions. I think Cam Newton's going to try stand up comedy with confidence. You know, I truly believe. And he's going to think that he's.

[Damaris]

Going to, to kill stand up comedy.

[Mall]

I can see Cam doing that with full, full confidence.

[Damaris]

Stand up comedy.

[Rory]

We see who's not going to do stand up comedy.

[Damaris]

I'm just saying. I mean, I could know that would.

[Mall]

You should go, go to McDougal street and start asking people. You like comedy. That's who we should have had solve our baby mother debate.

[Rory]

Oh, God.

[Mall]

He's the final boss of all decisions when it comes to Twitter topics.

[Damaris]

Right, Cam?

[Mall]

I want to know Cam's point of view on if you should do something nice for your baby mother on Valentine's Day. Whatever he says is law at the end of the day.

[Damaris]

Cam. No, I don't think he, I don't think he's doing something nice for his baby. Maybe his current baby mother that he's with, but the mother ones, I don't know. If he's doing something he's probably looking at.

[Mall]

Cam doesn't, like, let his women talk. Right.

[Damaris]

I believe he's from that tribe. Yes. I don't believe his baby mothers can talk. Yeah, I don't think so.

[Mall]

He's actually fresh and fit. I should go to McDougal street, too.

[Damaris]

You should get 10 people to go.

[Mall]

Did you see Cam on Poor Minds or Poor Minds?

[Rory]

I can't.

[Mall]

Yeah, I'm sorry. Poor Minds on. On Cam show. Shout out to. To Lex, Andrea.

[Damaris]

No, I didn't.

[Mall]

They got him in order.

[Damaris]

I didn't see it.

[Mall]

The three of them should be a show. The three of them are great.

[Rory]

He would.

[Sponsor Voice (Lenovo)]

He.

[Rory]

He wouldn't be able to come to work every day. No, they were on his ass.

[Mall]

That would be grand opening, grand closing. It'd be like the greatest week of content ever. And then they'd start to hate each other.

[Damaris]

Lex and Dre was getting at him, bro.

[Rory]

They were tearing his ass up about everything. About everything.

[Mall]

Lex and Dre are so funny.

[Rory]

He was like, platonically. Platonically. He cannot have any fine female friends. He can't have female friends without smashing. He said that before when he was talking to Lady London, and then he, you know, Dre and Lexa talked to him about him. Were like, what? Platonic. Platonically. He can't do it.

[Damaris]

He can't have female friends that are pretty.

[Rory]

I will have to double check if he said that I. Pretty but without smashing.

[Mall]

Well, if he didn't say that, you would assume he's talking about women he finds attractive. Yeah, but that's kind of crazy if you're his female friend.

[Damaris]

Yeah, because now you're like.

[Mall]

Because now you know, like, yo, I'm not attractive.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Like, I'm ugly.

[Mall]

Because that's crazy. I mean, but this is such a. Cam is the king of Twitter topics. Like, he should bring back 200 dates, but with inflation, it's 500 dates, I'm thinking.

[Damaris]

But a lot of this is Cam trolling, though. I don't think he really feels.

[Mall]

No, I believe Cam.

[Rory]

You do that shit all the time. I hate when you.

[Damaris]

I just don't think that he really feels like that.

[Mall]

I think Cam believes every single word that he says.

[Damaris]

I think. I think people know that they have a platform. They have to be entertaining. They have to get clips. They have to go viral. I think that he's leaning into that. I don't think that he really is. Like, I can't have no female friends without smashing. Like, are you fam? Wouldn't what Fucking sane thinking, man. Like, really feels the things like that. Like, I can't have no female friends without fucking them.

[Rory]

Many, many do. Mall. I think. You know what I love so much about you, because people don't know this, but you're genuinely a good person, and you genuinely are a gentleman. And I think sometimes.

[Damaris]

No, I'm a human. How the fuck can you not have female friends and not be trying to. Like, that is crazy to me. Like, you can't have a female friend and just be like, yo, that's the homie. Like, and just chill.

[Rory]

Like, a lot of.

[Damaris]

And not be horny and trying to smash.

[Rory]

A lot of men. Can't, Mom.

[Damaris]

That's wild. You. Those are the niggas that are predators. You need to be locked away 100. You too horny. You can't have a female friend. And just like, yo, we about to go. I don't know. We about to go. Just chill, get something to eat, like, and go watch the game. Do yo concert tonight. Yo, you want to come on. We going to the. And just chill without trying to back out the swami.

[Mall]

Which is also nice to say, because Lex and Dre are both very, very attractive women. So to say that out loud to two attractive that I think pretty much everyone would find very attractive. Now, how do they feel when the cameras are off? Like, yo, y' all want to get food? Like, no, you fucking predator.

[Damaris]

All right?

[Mall]

Because now you're just admitting that you're trying to fuck everybody that's attractive.

[Damaris]

Okay, but you don't think that Lex or Dre would go have dinner with Cam.

[Mall]

Yeah, no, I'm sure they. I'm sure you're saying, like, in a possible get to know you date type of way.

[Rory]

Maybe.

[Mall]

I don't know. I'm not going to speak for them. And I don't know their relationships.

[Rory]

I think both those women are in relationships.

[Mall]

Yeah, I think they're in relationships.

[Damaris]

No, I'm not.

[Mall]

Okay.

[Damaris]

If they weren't in relationships, I have no clue.

[Mall]

Maybe I'm. I know people. They. They both dated. Not the same per. But I know some of their dating history because I'm close friends with them.

[Damaris]

Right, Right.

[Mall]

Cam wouldn't be far off.

[Damaris]

All right, man. Like, why y' all be trying to leave me out on the limb?

[Mall]

Like, I don't want to be talking about their personal.

[Rory]

That has nothing to do With Cam is an attractive man talking about as far as not being able to be friends with somebody without want to smash them.

[Mall]

Him.

[Damaris]

No, no, I'm saying, like, because Rory made the comment of, like, now if Cam's like, after the show, like, yo, what's up? Y' all want to go get something? Be like, hell, no. Like, I'm not going with you because of the statement that he made like he can't have a female.

[Mall]

I'm saying that in the hypothetical sense, not that Dre or Lex would not find him. I'm saying if they did not and they didn't, they're in a relationship, don't want to be around Cam in that type of way. And he's just admitted that he can't just be friends with a woman. I would be like, no, I'm not going to dinner with you, you fucking creep.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's that.

[Mall]

Because we can't just be friends and have a friendly dinner. This has to have an agenda attached to it.

[Rory]

A lot of men feel that way more. I'm telling you, a lot of men feel that way, and they think it's okay to feel that way.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Because, like, why?

[Mall]

Well, it was. I mean, I didn't find out there was an ovo, not a small one, her entire calf until, you know, she had pants. No, I met her that day.

[Damaris]

But you still never didn't ask her once you noticed it?

[Mall]

I mean, she was bent over. Was. Prior to something else was happening.

[Rory]

It's something weird about your dick staying hard when you see a OVO tattoo. Like, you should have went soft immediately.

[Damaris]

Nah, I ain't got harder soft. But I definitely would have had a conversation as soon as we finished. Like, yo, so what's that? I couldn't.

[Damaris]

Like going being out with a woman and then you stopping to get condoms. It's always going to be like awkward. I don't care if y' all been it's just awkward and especially if it's the first time. Like y' all know we we both know we about to go.

[Rory]

That that's mad awkward. That's mad awkward.

[Damaris]

But I mean you know, I never been there before.

[Rory]

One day I'm gonna tell you nothing.

[Damaris]

Is more awkward than going to get the cons with her and then not using them. Y' all never did that. Baby talk to me Now I'm right here Baby D talk to me. We from the same culture. Talk to me. You don't went with a to get Connor condoms and then went upstairs and didn't use them.

[Rory]

No, I've never did that.

[Damaris]

Y' all don't be see all right, Peach. I'm the only one keeping it real today. It's all good.

[Rory]

I sent a man downstairs to the hotel lobby to go get condoms and they ain't having. He had to come back upstairs and it like had to check out at that same hotel. I was like, go ask the hotel. He said the hotel people looked at him like he was crazy, like he was sick.

[Mall]

For asking for condoms in a hotel.

[Damaris]

I feel like that's probably asking for a towel.

[Mall]

I feel like that's a. That's a regular question.

[Rory]

I felt he was very. He was very embarrassed. He said, I'll never forgive you for that. I'm like.

[Damaris]

No, no, no, no. Don't say nothing, because this is what I don't like about the marriage.

[Mall]

What's up?

[Damaris]

I'm gonna say Damaris, not Baby D. He came back upstairs. And then what happened?

[Rory]

Doordashed him.

[Mall]

I didn't know you could do that.

[Damaris]

Yeah, you can. She's lying.

[Rory]

I promise you, I'm not lying.

[Damaris]

She did not. Doordash.

[Rory]

Oh, my God. I promise you I'm not lying.

[Sponsor Voice (Verizon)]

You can.

[Mall]

Doordash a plan B.

[Damaris]

It was doordash with the burrito. So it was condoms with the burrito?

[Rory]

No, just. You can. Doordash. Dwayne Reed.

[Damaris]

Oh, no, I know that.

[Mall]

Like, just. Just Jordache and Connor.

[Rory]

No, I think he. I know. I think he ordered, like, toothpaste and, like, a bunch of other.

[Mall]

Yeah, you gotta.

[Rory]

You gotta get other.

[Mall]

You have to sandwich that one.

[Damaris]

You can't say straight up. Nah. All right, so talk to me about when y' all was waiting for the doordash to show up. Like, which I was doing.

[Rory]

I was asleep. We were asleep. Like, they left it at the lobby. They left it at the same lobby that he went downstairs and asked for.

[Damaris]

The falling asleep when you know the condoms is on the way. It's crazy. My dick is falling asleep. I'm on Rocky bouncing.

[Rory]

It was like three o', clock, four o' clock in the morning. No lie. It was like three, four in the morning. We were exhausted. Yeah. Yeah.

[Damaris]

Now, we'd had to get that in without the.

[Rory]

But when we woke up at, like, 6, 7am he went down like he saw the notification on his phone, like, oh. And he went down to the lobby.

[Damaris]

The best sex be like, when you go through the three pack and then, like, you want to go again and you got to go raw. That's the best round.

[Rory]

That's. You just wasted.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

What?

[Mall]

That raw round just wasted three rounds.

[Damaris]

That raw round is fire. Like, three protected rounds. Like, three rounds with the headgear on.

[Mall]

Then you get the main event when you spar.

[Damaris]

The spa with the headgear. All right, cool. I can see your game playing, like, yo, she smell good. All right, cool.

[Mall]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

You know What I'm saying, she like it like that. Bet that raw round, when we take that headgear off.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's the knockout fire.

[Damaris]

That's the best round. We don't talk about the round like the first raw round.

[Mall]

This is a. This is a question for the room. Because all of us here have stayed at the Mondrian in Los Angeles.

[Damaris]

Never been there before.

[Mall]

Okay. We don't stay there anymore. But at a time, everyone in this room, we've stayed there. That was headquarters at one point. If you know anything about the Mondrian. Next to the bathroom, they have some amenities, more or less regular things. Rotels. And then just in the corner, there's something called a sex kit that the Mondrian has in every single room. Everyone lied to me right now and say you have not used the Mondrian sex kit before.

[Rory]

We have. It's just you. Y'.

[Sponsor Voice (Verizon)]

All.

[Rory]

Look, we're not. I'm not lying. It's just you. You know, I'll tell the truth.

[Damaris]

I've seen it, but I've never used it.

[Rory]

I've never used it.

[Mall]

I've done it before. Yeah, you too.

[Rory]

Freaked out. And you know what killed me?

[Mall]

I was curiosity.

[Rory]

We're always at the Mondrian for work.

[Mall]

At least Peach was honest. Cause he knows what's in the Mondrian sex kit.

[Rory]

It.

[Damaris]

Oh, I know what's in it. I've never used it, though.

[Mall]

How do you know unless you open it? It's not clear.

[Damaris]

No, I've opened it, but.

[Rory]

And it also lists the. It lists the little ingredients on here, like.

[Mall]

Like you.

[Damaris]

Is it vegan?

[Mall]

What's the ingredients?

[Damaris]

Yo, she said the ingredient.

[Mall]

Me and a significant other, we even took the little bullet back home.

[Damaris]

That's what's what. You going to leave and let them wash it and put it back without the. The sex kit is yours to take it.

[Mall]

They take it to the laundry room and just repackage it.

[Rory]

They charge you, like, $100 for that anyway, probably.

[Mall]

That's just like 30 bucks.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah. No. Every time we've gone to the.

[Damaris]

Know what it is with tax. 37.96 with tax.

[Rory]

Every time we go, we go for work. So we're not, you know, in there and bucking. We be.

[Damaris]

But I've.

[Mall]

I've went out there with a significant other when we've worked and.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Curious. You. You've never tried the. The vibrator, Cochrane. I don't know. I feel weird even saying it, but.

[Damaris]

And don't. Don't look Me in my eyes and ask me if I ever.

[Mall]

It's. It doesn't really do much.

[Rory]

I was over there laying by the pool, drinking wine and producing the podcast. Y' all over here.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I was in Laugh.

[Mall]

Yes. I was my own girlfriend.

[Damaris]

Yeah, Some of my best happened in la.

[Rory]

[Mall]

All.

[Rory]

Yeah, Y' all want a voicemail?

[Damaris]

Are they?

[Voicemail Caller]

Actually, yeah.

[Rory]

Sponsored by Boost.

[Damaris]

But yeah, sponsored by Boost Mobile. Unlimited top checks and data.

[Mall]

At first, the cock ring does scare you a little bit on the vibration term.

[Damaris]

Thank you for that, Roy.

[Mall]

Nobody startles you in the beginning and then you get used to it, but you know.

[Damaris]

You've got mail.

[Voicemail Caller]

Rory Mall Damaris. Peach it Edden, listen, so it's my girl's idea to have a threesome with me. We've been together for about two years.

[Mall]

Good for you, man.

[Voicemail Caller]

We love each other. I know this is my person. Couldn't imagine life without her, all that. But I know for a fact it's a thin line for me to walk as a man because we gotta find somebody that's her type. I'm kind of letting her take control of the whole situation.

[Mall]

Good call.

[Voicemail Caller]

So we try some dating apps, you know, probably might attend some, you know, promiscuous events. But, yeah, we just gotta find somebody her type. Just as a side note, the Maris, you are exactly her type. So I'm not asking. No, creepy. Not for you. Do nothing. But if you got, you know, somebody just like a twin for you or something. And we a fine couple. Like, we both very attractive. At least in my opinion. Everybody got different eyes, but.

[Damaris]

But, yeah.

[Voicemail Caller]

Let me know what you think about how we should go about this. Have you ever been recruited for a threesome?

[Damaris]

And.

[Voicemail Caller]

Yeah, just give us the best advice on, like, how to find the right person for this shit. Of course, it can't be somebody we know. It can't be somebody you know, from our past. Obviously, a girl goes both ways. And. Yeah, Damaris, you got a twin, let me know.

[Rory]

I did not know what this voicemail contained. Peach chose this voicemail and then said, oh, let's play it on air.

[Damaris]

I thought it was dope.

[Mall]

I thought he was complimenting you. So, highest form of compliment.

[Rory]

Well, y' all answer first. Then he asked y' all for some type of advice.

[Mall]

He didn't ask us anything. He asked, can you join me and my girlfriend in a threesome? That's what he said. Just asked.

[Rory]

He asked if I had a twin. That's what he Said that that was.

[Mall]

His way of saying, can you join me?

[Damaris]

You ain't got a twin.

[Rory]

I have people that look like me.

[Mall]

Just on deck that are.

[Damaris]

Yeah, like. Yeah, just like, right here. Like.

[Rory]

Sorry, I'm really caught off guard.

[Damaris]

But there was no.

[Mall]

There was no question. He was literally just saying, damaris, we both find you a trouble.

[Rory]

I am. I am not available to join people's bedrooms, but I am flattered that you both find me attractive. If you're looking for someone. I don't know if dating apps is. Dating apps is scary. I know you guys don't want to do somebody, you know, but dating apps.

[Mall]

Aren't there apps, like, specifically for that Instagram?

[Rory]

No, no.

[Mall]

I mean, like, specifically for, like, joining couples and, like, what? I think they call them unicorns. Like being a unicorn.

[Rory]

No, no. We should start one, though, like, as a.

[Mall]

As a pod.

[Rory]

Start the app.

[Mall]

Oh, no, I really think that does exist.

[Rory]

What did you think I was saying?

[Mall]

I thought you said as a pod. Join a dating app. I don't know why.

[Rory]

No.

[Damaris]

Who wants to come have sex with us on Netflix?

[Rory]

I'm gonna keep it real. Like, if. I don't know. The four of us in here, one of us gotta be your type. Everybody.

[Mall]

We cover a lot of spectrums.

[Rory]

I was gonna say, like, somebody gotta be attracted to one of us.

[Damaris]

Are you talking about if we was to go on the app?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Oh, yeah. Have you seen these people on these. Some of these apps? I'm just asking. Have you?

[Rory]

I have.

[Damaris]

It's like, when you go to, like, a naked resort, who you think gonna be there? And they're gonna be a bunch of bad walking around naked. I can promise you that.

[Mall]

No. So a lot of saggy skin.

[Damaris]

Yeah. The people that's freaked out like that, that's like, that open sexually. A lot of them don't be, like, attractive like that. It's like, oh, you just horny. I got it.

[Rory]

Horny and ugly.

[Damaris]

You know, beauty is in the eye. Yeah.

[Rory]

Or the wallet.

[Damaris]

The eye. We ain't gonna talk about how the eye turned into the wallet over the last 15 years.

[Mall]

15 years.

[Rory]

It was always the wallet. What you mean?

[Damaris]

Nah, sometimes. Sometimes it was the eye. It turned into the wallet quick, though.

[Mall]

You got to look at the wallet first before you look in the eyes.

[Damaris]

Oh, now? Yes, now, yes. They know what your wallet look like before your eye color.

[Mall]

Well, then why don't they? They could pay for a girl that'd be safe.

[Rory]

She like an escort.

[Damaris]

Yeah. It's not the same, though.

[Mall]

It's not. Yeah, it's definitely not, but thing.

[Damaris]

It's not the same like paying for.

[Mall]

Sex, but that's an activity with your significant other that you want to do. Like, in that world, I could. I could see paying for sex in that regard. Like, me and my girl want to do something adventurous, so we. And we don't. It could get weird with a civilian broad. Like, let's just hire a professional.

[Damaris]

Somebody that comes here, knows what they're doing, gets right to it, knows how to walk us through the steps on a resume.

[Rory]

Like in the summary, it's like. Or like special skills. It's like threesomes.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Like, they know.

[Rory]

Like, that's what they specialize in.

[Damaris]

That's exactly what to do.

[Mall]

I think that that'd probably be. That's the most logical way to pay for sex, in my opinion. But I don't know. I mean, he didn't really ask a question outside of the Damaris thing. I think he's handling it in the right way, though. Let your girl do that. Nothing's more awkward than you trying to.

[Damaris]

Bad, though, Baby D. Yeah. Like, what if she is? What if she a smoke shit?

[Rory]

I don't get involved in other people's relationships. That's. It's messy. I don't like that because now when he liking my pictures, now you upset because you can't. It's some. You can't.

[Damaris]

Yeah, but you wouldn't know about that. That ain't none of your business if she get upset.

[Rory]

I just don't. I've never been. That's not my thing. That's not my thing. But shout out to her. Thank you for letting me know. Your girl won't me tell her I said hi.

[Damaris]

See? See?

[Rory]

That ain't my thing till I said hi.

[Damaris]

Why are you telling her hi?

[Rory]

Hi. What's up? Sir, If y' all ever break up, tell her. Hit me.

[Damaris]

Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. You don't really want him, and it's nothing against him.

[Rory]

I just. I don't care. I don't want. I don't want my own. Like, with somebody else is crazy. That's like.

[Damaris]

Like, Yo, Damaris just don't like men, though.

[Rory]

Like that.

[Damaris]

She does not.

[Mall]

Like, I love y'.

[Rory]

All. I men.

[Damaris]

No, you do not.

[Mall]

When?

[Damaris]

When did you ever love men?

[Rory]

I love y', all, though. Y' all are men, right?

[Damaris]

Yeah, but we ain't. I'm talking about men that you've had sex.

[Rory]

Oh, really? Romantically?

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Rory]

They're cool.

[Damaris]

Exactly. They're cool.

[Mall]

They're cool.

[Rory]

But I love the male. Like, race, like, I love men. I just. Gender. Yeah.

[Damaris]

The male race is crazy. You love the male race, like, all right, that's what's up.

[Rory]

The male gender. But yeah, good luck to y', all, y'. All. Threesome search. I mean, if day apps are working for y', all, I would go for Hinge. Tinder can be a little. Ah, Tinder has the creeps. But Hinge put a picture of both of y' all together.

[Mall]

They'll get the hint. Yeah, that makes sense.

[Damaris]

Good luck to you and your girl on your search for a partner in the bedroom. Hope you have fun.

[Mall]

Have you ever been recruited for threesome? Yeah.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Two women.

[Mall]

What you thought. You thought mom was recruited by a couple?

[Rory]

I'm not saying he would go, but yeah, I'm sure you've been hit on by a couple before. I didn't know if Maul ever has.

[Damaris]

He wasn't hit on. He was surprised by it. He didn't know that. He didn't know homie was in the bathroom. What you talking about? He had no clue. If a couple tried. If a guy was like, yo, me and my girl wanna. I'm like, fam, you got five seconds to get away from me.

[Mall]

I still cannot believe that happened to me.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mall]

Only me that would happen to.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Sponsor Voice (Verizon)]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Cuz you just be oblivious to.

[Mall]

Yeah. Facts.

[Damaris]

I would have peeped that from the gate. Like, who in this bathroom, though? Cuz you walk in somebody room and they got the bathroom close.

[Mall]

I've closed the hotel bathroom door before. That wasn't on my mind.

[Damaris]

Why?

[Mall]

I don't know. It's a habit of just sometimes closing the door behind you. I don't know.

[Damaris]

Closing the b. Closing the bathroom during your hotel room is.

[Rory]

Closing the bathroom door in your house is crazy. Rory does close because he keeps his.

[Mall]

And some. Some hotel bathroom doors are like our office ones. They close.

[Rory]

They close automatically. Yeah.

[Damaris]

Yeah. No, they do not.

[Rory]

I've never been in a hotel that the door closed out of me.

[Damaris]

If you in a hotel with a bathroom door closed automatically get out of that hotel. That is a trap. Somebody about to come in there and get you your bathroom door, your hotel room closes automatically. That's not. Where has that Happened at what hotel was this?

[Mall]

I've said it. Some shitty hotels before.

[Damaris]

Even in a shitty hotel, sometimes the door won't close.

[Mall]

In a shitty hotel, I feel like I've been in. They've given me the handicap room by accident before. That door. That door was heavy.

[Damaris]

No. Hell, no. Hell, no. I've never seen an automatic closing door in the bathroom rifle. I think about it.

[Rory]

You have, huh? I think if you think about it.

[Mall]

I'm not saying it's heavy as never, but they'll just naturally start to close.

[Damaris]

No, I'm. I'm willing to think that that might be against a fire code.

[Rory]

No, there's definitely hotel rooms that doors.

[Damaris]

Will close automatically, like, right behind you. No, I. I've never seen it. Even the sliding doors that you got to pull, those don't even close.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah. No, the sliding doors are different.

[Damaris]

Yeah. So which door? Like, I. I've never seen that before. I've never seen it before.

[Mall]

Either way, I'm not fucking Jason Bourne. I didn't walk into that hotel room and be like, that's suspicious. Yeah, the door's closed. Like, I.

[Damaris]

That's. How you gonna wake up with a lost kidney. You gotta. You don't know. He don't know his surroundings. He ain't got no discernment nervous system all out of whack. Your spidey senses ain't tingling. You just walking in the room. Just head up. You just. What you doing?
