[Baby D]

Yes we are. Yes we are. Clap it up, baby. Clap it up. It's another one. We get another one. Another week. Get another week.

[Rory]

Ryan has dubbed it make it Wing Thursdays.

[Baby D]

That was definitely not make it Wink Thursdays, ladies. Make it wink. Send them a video. Send them the invisible ink and make it wink.

[Rory]

Yeah. Left the right eye.

[Peach]

Huh?

[Baby D]

The brown one.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Baby D]

You know which eye it is? Come on, now. Make it wink.

[Rory]

Only if she has brown eyes.

[Baby D]

That's it. Pretty brown eyes.

[Rory]

Five. Five with brown eyes.

[Baby D]

What you thought Mint Condition was singing about when they said pretty brown eyes?

[Peach]

Oh, my God.

[Baby D]

What you thought Stokely was in there singing about, huh? What you thought he was in there singing the house down out?

[Rory]

It was the pretty brown eyes. I don't think that's what Mint Condition was.

[Baby D]

All right, man. Ask Stokely. Ask Stokely. Whenever you run into him.

[Rory]

Whenever I run into him.

[Baby D]

Whenever you run into Stokely, ask him what he was in there. That's when he was in there jamming about. That's all.

[Rory]

Anyways, how are you feeling?

[Baby D]

I feel great, man. I feel blessed.

[Rory]

Big weekend ahead of us.

[Baby D]

Number seven in the world. You heard? I just had to piss some people off, that's all. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, ma'. Am. Sorry. I won't do it again. I won't do it again.

[Rory]

Yes, you will.

[Baby D]

Definitely piss in the world. I'm number seven in the whole world. In the whole wide world. Come on now.

[Rory]

Out of all the. The accounts on Twitter that in India that talk about him.

[Baby D]

Oh, man, I'm number seven in the world, and I see a lot of y' all mad about losing all them followers. Them fake bots I had.

[Rory]

Yeah, I did see that. Yeah.

[Baby D]

Yeah. So I've seen them store, you know, you lead away message on Instagram now. Oh, they was hot. Where did all my followers go? Stop lying with them bots that you bought in 2022. During the pandemic, though, we forgot. All of a sudden, overnight, you got 200, 000 followers.

[Rory]

Doesn't that mess with, like, your. Your. Well, I know it works with YouTube. Doesn't it mess with your algorithm? Yeah, you purchase that, your stuff doesn't really show up, right?

[Baby D]

I mean, it depends.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

How much you post. You know, they posted.

[Rory]

Delete it.

[Baby D]

Posted again tomorrow.

[Peach]

Same video messes up your engagement rate. But, yeah, ain't nothing like seeing that one of your friends, like somebody you really thought was your homie, bought followers. That shit hurts your heart.

[Rory]

It's like, damn, you a lame.

[Baby D]

But it adds up. Sometimes the people that buy fake followers is the people that wear fake jewelry, wear fake clothes, fake hair, fake eyelashes.

[Peach]

Okay.

[Baby D]

Whoa. Fake nails.

[Peach]

Okay. All right. You dragging it a little bit.

[Baby D]

Like, I mean, it's right on brand. I don't think that correlates it don't correlate.

[Peach]

And your hairline ain't really that dark. For real. Let's really talk about it.

[Baby D]

Me?

[Peach]

Yes.

[Baby D]

You got me up Spray paint, Hank. Me? Are you talking about general?

[Peach]

You?

[Baby D]

You think I spray paint my hairline? The marriage. Just be talking shit sometimes.

[Rory]

Me in the chair with the Beijing, just getting it added.

[Baby D]

Never in my life. Never.

[Rory]

Can't even sweat.

[Baby D]

Not me.

[Rory]

But why would people buy followers now? Like, I understand when social media started, people didn't know, but now, like, if somebody's a million followers in like six comments, like, we can tell.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but people don't care about that. It's just the optics of it all.

[Rory]

But isn't the point of like, that to, like, maybe get brand deals and, like, you, like, utilize your Instagram to make money? Like, we'll know you. 4 comments and 500,000 followers.

[Baby D]

Like, I mean, it should be, but some people don't, you know, they don't pay attention to that. It's just when you look at their profile and see they have this many followers. Okay, okay. You know, but I mean, Instagram did do a bot sweep, I think, last night or day before, and a lot of people lost a lot of followers. But, you know, that'd be an awkward

[Rory]

conversation to have, my man. That, oddly enough, that'd be kind of like a red flag in our friendship.

[Baby D]

I go through, but I go through that.

[Rory]

If you bought follower, what do you do with it?

[Baby D]

I do that a lot of times on my own, though.

[Rory]

Like, five followers?

[Baby D]

Well, no, never did that. But, like, I'll go through, like, my recent follows and you see all, like, the fake pages, bot pages. I'll just like, block and delete them shits myself.

[Rory]

My favorite thing is the. Well, I don't know if they're bot pages. It's those weird pages in your friend requests that say that they can sell you all these followers or get your engagement up. You go to their page, they got six followers, it's like, well, get.

[Baby D]

That's called a bot.

[Rory]

Get your shit up.

[Baby D]

Yeah, that's a bot.

[Rory]

I'm supposed to pay you to get my shit up, but you can't get your shit up?

[Baby D]

That's the definition of a bot. Exactly.

[Rory]

But hey, if it works, it works. I did see. Are they adding the dislike button to Instagram as well? Was that true? I saw that in the same report, but again, it could have been a bot that said that.

[Baby D]

I don't think the dislike, but.

[Rory]

Or comments, not specifically for photos, but if someone writes you A comment. You can dislike the comment.

[Baby D]

Oh, yeah, I'm a lot. I'm going to utilize that one. Y' all be in there calling me a homo.

[Rory]

Just go put down.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Thumbs down.

[Rory]

Say, hey, I don't like this.

[Baby D]

I'm not a Glazer. I don't like you calling me that, sir. Like, I'm not, not a glazer. So I dislike that. I dislike that.

[Rory]

Yeah. Instagram is testing a private dislike or downvote button for comments on reals and feed posts to improve comment quality and reduce hostility. Just because you're adding a I don't think someone that is calling you the F word is going to be discouraged because there's a dislike button.

[Baby D]

Then I don't think.

[Rory]

No, no more of this.

[Baby D]

I'm not.

[Rory]

I see the light now. This was.

[Baby D]

He disliked that.

[Rory]

I saw the light now, like, I get it.

[Baby D]

That word again.

[Rory]

This is a revelation to my life. I shouldn't be mean in comments anymore because there's, there's a thumbs down button.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But this feature is currently available to a small group of users. Does, does not display a public dislike count and aims to influence future comment ranking.

[Baby D]

Yo. Cristiano Ronaldo lost 7 million followers. Damn. The bots was on him heavy.

[Rory]

But that doesn't necessarily mean, like, he bought them, right?

[Baby D]

No, no.

[Rory]

Like, that just can.

[Baby D]

As famous and as popular as Ronaldo. Like, you just have so many different accounts following you daily. Like, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm positive Ronaldo, that didn't buy any Instagram followers.

[Rory]

I mean, is this all accurate? I, I, I'm going to quote, unquote, report it, but I don't know if it's true. Kylie lost 15 million followers. Like, that's, that's insane.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I can see it, though.

[Peach]

I can see it.

[Baby D]

People like that are that famous and have that many accounts following them.

[Peach]

Yeah, because to make an account look real, the bottom accounts usually follow accounts like that to make themselves look real. Yeah.

[Rory]

That's not definitely a litmus test for me. That can't be a bot. They follow Kylie.

[Baby D]

Yeah. They follow Ronaldo.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, this checks out. This guy's legit.

[Baby D]

How else would they even know Ronaldo?

[Rory]

Make that bigger, Ryan.

[Baby D]

Hey, yo.

[Rory]

Okay, again, I don't know this is accurate, so I truly apologize. If not. But people that we particularly care about. Not too many people on here, actually. Rihanna lost 2 million. That's light. Beyonce 4.4. Taylor Swift 4.1. Shakira 1.1. I don't know. Does that even affect these people?

[Baby D]

No, these people don't care.

[Peach]

They probably didn't even notice. They're gonna throw a notice.

[Rory]

You don't think Adele on her birthday today was like, damn, 500k gone?

[Baby D]

I can promise you Adele didn't. I didn't even.

[Rory]

Can she even do her residency in Vegas anymore?

[Baby D]

No, she loses it. She loses.

[Rory]

It's gone now. Yeah.

[Baby D]

Come on now.

[Peach]

Is she still in Vegas?

[Rory]

She did, like, makeup shows, I think was the last little run she did. Um, but I. I think she's done. I sent my mom and my cousin to that for my cousin's birthday.

[Baby D]

Did y' all see the video where she. She finally met Celine Dion?

[Rory]

No.

[Peach]

No.

[Baby D]

Is that her show?

[Peach]

I didn't see that.

[Baby D]

Yeah, she was walking through the crowd. She obviously knew where Celine was sitting, but they didn't meet yet. Like, she just heard. She was there in the audience.

[Peach]

She started crying, didn't she?

[Baby D]

Did she. Celine was crying too.

[Peach]

Oh.

[Baby D]

And all, you know, just. Just. Just me. I just had to think, like, white soul singers. Who's the better singer, though?

[Peach]

Celine.

[Rory]

Okay, yes. If you printed out a sheet of paper with music theory, Celine Dion does. But I like Adele's voice ten times more. Way more texture to it. Way more character to it. Selena's just like, she's AI before AI existed when it comes to a perfect voice. But Adele. Nah, Adele's been through some. I like that. I like that in voice texture. Yeah.

[Baby D]

I'm going, Celine Dion, though, that's the best. Better singer.

[Rory]

Volume wise, though.

[Baby D]

I just. I think all around the better singer. I love Adele. I love Adele's voice. But seeing those two and then obviously Adele being a huge fan of Celine Dion and just those two women in that moment, I'm just like, that's. That's a lot of singing right there.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Peach]

Do you know what I'm thinking? You know how certain music videos or certain movie soundtracks or whatever are attached to a song is My Heart Will Grow on. Is it that sad of a song if it's not attached to anybody? Falling off the Titanic and dying? Like, if you had never watched the Titanic, but you just heard My Heart Will Go on, would it make you cry?

[Baby D]

That's one of the greatest songs ever.

[Rory]

I don't disagree.

[Baby D]

That's one of the greatest songs ever. It took one of the greatest voices ever to deliver it. But when you listen to those lyrics, that song is played everywhere. Graduations, funerals, weddings. Like it's divorce parties. I mean. I mean, it is. It's played Everywhere.

[Rory]

Even if the Federal Reserve doesn't drive that boat into an iceberg, I still think it's. That song still stands up for. For what it is. That end. Ey. Run. You're going to cry with or without an iceberg. Like.

[Baby D]

Yeah. It's one of the greatest, greatest songs ever.

[Peach]

Okay, what about Dreaming by Selena?

[Baby D]

Another one of the greatest songs ever. Love that record.

[Peach]

Cuz I cry every time I hear it. But I'm like, damn, am I crying cuz she dead? Like if she was still alive, would I cry? It would still be an amazing song, but would I cry?

[Baby D]

It is different because she's no longer with us. So the. The lyrics mean a little.

[Rory]

They hit different. Yeah, they hit at the end of the. At the end of the movie.

[Baby D]

It gives it a different feeling. But it's. Yeah, it's a great, incredible song though,

[Rory]

to go back to the whites. Aerosmith, Armageddon.

[Baby D]

Oof.

[Rory]

Just trying to think of songs that are like attached. Attached to a movie like that.

[Baby D]

That was.

[Rory]

That's one of the sadder songs.

[Peach]

What is that attached to?

[Rory]

Armageddon with Bruce Willis and his. His daughter plays Bruce's daughter.

[Peach]

The name of the song though, baby.

[Rory]

The Aerosmith song from Armageddon.

[Baby D]

What are you talking about? Damn. What's the name of the song? There's another. Don't want to miss.

[Rory]

I don't want to miss this thing. Come on.

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Rory]

You can't. You can't play that and not like at least have your chin just start.

[Baby D]

That's White Soul.

[Rory]

Tighten it up a little bit.

[Baby D]

That's White Soul.

[Peach]

Written by my goat, Diane Warren.

[Baby D]

I didn't even know.

[Rory]

That song is beautiful. Wait, is that a cover or is that an original? No, that's because, you know, because you know, a lot of the rock and Whites like to take.

[Peach]

I think it's an original.

[Rory]

Dude. When I found out all of Led Zeppelin's catalog wasn't around, I broke my heart.

[Peach]

Oh, Diane Warren wrote it for Celine

[Rory]

Dion, but Mick Jagger did it justice. Yeah, Celine. Celine might have. She might have made that too perfect. I think Mick held it down on that one.

[Baby D]

Oh yeah, he.

[Rory]

But that. That's up there with. With movie. That's. That's a good topic to mers. Because there are a lot of records that are just attached to Mick.

[Baby D]

Who's Mick?

[Rory]

Isn't Mick Jagger the lead singer of Aristotle?

[Baby D]

No.

[Peach]

No.

[Baby D]

Steven Tyler.

[Rory]

Steven Tyler. Come on. I get my whites confused.

[Baby D]

How do you get the whites? You're right.

[Rory]

We all look alike.

[Baby D]

Let's Take me confusing Michael Jordan and John Star.

[Rory]

That looks like Steven Tyler to me.

[Baby D]

Nah, that is not Steven Tyler.

[Peach]

Got that big ass.

[Rory]

And my bad is Steven Tyler because he is. He is a legend in his own right. But, yes, I. I meant Steven Tyler, not Mick Jagger.

[Peach]

Isn't Mick Jagger Angelina Jolie's dad?

[Baby D]

H. No, that's. That's John Void. What the. Are y' all okay today? You having a stroke? What the Is going on in here? Like, what the. You thought that Angelina Jolie's dad was Mick Jagger? That is crazy.

[Rory]

Yo, my bad.

[Peach]

I'm sorry.

[Baby D]

That's funny.

[Rory]

As Aerosmith, Rolling Stones. I know that's like, blasphemous to the whites, but yes. Sometimes I get. I get them confused every Stephen Tyler.

[Baby D]

Yes.

[Rory]

But yeah, I'm trying to think what other records are definitely, like, tied side to a movie? I can't hear Shake your tail Feather with Murphy Lee Without. Without Bad Boy too.

[Baby D]

That one really brings it back. Shake it Tail feather.

[Rory]

Those. Those two things are. Are synonymous. They'll be married forever. Those two things. Whitney Houston, I will always love you. Yes. I think Bodyguard, but I still think that stands alone. I don't think when that comes on, everyone thinks the Bodyguard.

[Baby D]

Look what Billboard has that at number seven. I'm just saying it's something about them sevens.

[Rory]

Yeah, this is. This is Billboard best songs in movies. Listen, cuz. Maul loves a list. Diana Ross. Lionel Richie. Endless love in Endless Love.

[Baby D]

As number one.

[Rory]

As number one.

[Baby D]

I'm not jacking that.

[Peach]

Yeah, I'm not jacking that.

[Rory]

Bee Gees, how deep is your love for Saturday Night Fever? I get it.

[Baby D]

All right, that's up there. That's one of them ones.

[Rory]

This is. It's very cliche and I think probably corny at this point, but you could have made a case. This is number one. I had the tiger for Rocky.

[Baby D]

Oh, my God.

[Peach]

That.

[Baby D]

That could be rising up back on the street.

[Rory]

Like, you want to find a. You want to find a staircase. The moment. That's that when that walk on level playing field. Find a staircase and walk up that shit.

[Baby D]

Fam.

[Rory]

You.

[Baby D]

You hear that? It's nothing you can't do. Once you start listening to Eye the Tiger, you can do anything, literally. There's nothing you can't do after you listen to that song.

[Rory]

Do you tie Boyce to Men? End of the Road to Boomerang? Absolutely, yes. But, like, I don't. Not. Not the way we're talking about Aerosmith and Armageddon. Like End of the Road. I Don't. Yeah. It's not just Boomerang.

[Baby D]

I taught at Boomerang. For sure. Boomerang is one of the greatest movie soundtracks ever.

[Rory]

Boomerang definitely make a case that Boomerang has boomerang nut.

[Baby D]

Professor Rush Hour, Mo Mo Money. Like, that was a time where, like, soundtracks were, like, a huge thing and they broke a lot of, like, new artists.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

On soundtracks.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

But Boomerang was like.

[Peach]

I mean, way into Exhale. Soundtrack, too, is really.

[Baby D]

Way into Exhale. Obviously was one of those ones as well.

[Rory]

Destiny's Child, independent woman for Charlie's Angels. Yeah, important. Yeah, important. That was. I mean, it surpassed, I think, the Charlie's Angels thing. But when I was a kid, that was like. Was it. The whole music video was. Was like they were Charles from the movie. Yeah, yeah. Celine Dion. Because you love me up close and personal.

[Peach]

I'm gonna add again by Janet Jackson for Poetic Justice.

[Baby D]

Another great soundtrack. Another great soundtrack.

[Rory]

Eminem, Lose yourself a mile. Come on. They go hand in hand.

[Baby D]

Yeah. You hear that?

[Rory]

Another great soundtrack.

[Baby D]

Palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy there's vomit on a swe. Already Mom's forgetti. He's nervous. When you heard that.

[Peach]

Oh, I thought she was gonna keep going.

[Baby D]

I was like, okay, you heard that? Yeah.

[Rory]

When you heard Mom's spaghetti.

[Baby D]

Yeah. And then he actually threw up, like, before the battle movie, like, come on.

[Rory]

It's tired of them.

[Baby D]

Come on, man.

[Rory]

Color me bad. I want to sex you up. New Jack City. That. Come on. And that's, like just a legendary scene.

[Baby D]

That scene where she was.

[Rory]

It. I mean, it changed.

[Baby D]

She was dancing in front of.

[Rory]

That's where the betrayal started.

[Baby D]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Rory]

The movie pivoted while that was playing.

[Baby D]

Yeah, yeah.

[Rory]

There's a lot. Damn.

[Baby D]

I mean, my soundtrack's great again, man. We need great sounds.

[Rory]

Tried a little bit. And we had that. That conversation like Black Panther, I thought was a good one.

[Baby D]

That was a good sound.

[Peach]

Yes, yes.

[Rory]

They've tried a few times. I mean, like. But sometimes it misses terribly.

[Baby D]

Baby D. Did you see Devil Wish? Prada, too, yet?

[Peach]

I have not. I want to go see it, but I gotta have a cute fit on. Like, I can't go watch it in these sweats.

[Baby D]

Why not?

[Peach]

Cause they can make fun of me.

[Baby D]

Who's gonna make fun of you?

[Peach]

All the girls. They're all dressing up for it.

[Baby D]

The marriage. You can go.

[Peach]

I'm walking. They go like this bum ass. I don't laugh at me and throw popcorn at my head.

[Baby D]

I promise you, nobody's gonna do that.

[Rory]

Throwing popcorn at your head. Look what she's wearing.

[Baby D]

Yeah, Like, I promise you, you can go see that, win. Whatever. I'm gonna go see it this weekend, though. I'm gonna see.

[Peach]

Yeah, I think I'll take myself. I'm spending the weekend alone, so I'll take myself this weekend.

[Baby D]

That might be a cute date, spending a weekend alone. Alone in a room. It's me and you, yo.

[Peach]

What? You're literally like a human jukebox, you know that?

[Baby D]

I got songs, Baby D. All up here. I got them all.

[Peach]

Okay.

[Baby D]

Here, here, and here in the heart. So the music lives. That's where it lives.

[Rory]

Rory, that's. That's gonna be mall's Tick Tock series. Just give him a quarter. He stands out in the street. Just give him a quarter.

[Baby D]

That's racist.

[Rory]

First pick us on.

[Peach]

Give him a quarter and say a word, and he gotta, like, connect. You would do great with that, like, word. Connecting. They play.

[Rory]

Yeah, Damaris, our guy Terrell has a great platform where he has R and B singers. Like, when they're putting music out, he'll do word association. We'll just throw a word out there, and then they'll have to sing a song that's attached to it.

[Peach]

Wait, let's play one more real quick. I'm going. Throw a word out.

[Baby D]

They trying to put me on the spot like that.

[Rory]

I'm.

[Peach]

I'm going. Just throw a word out.

[Baby D]

And you got to study for this test, but go ahead. All right, man.

[Peach]

Okay.

[Baby D]

Money, money.

[Rory]

Are we doing just R and B or you can do whatever.

[Peach]

I would prefer R B, though.

[Baby D]

Money. R B, money.

[Rory]

R B is tough. I would be really bad at this Money.

[Baby D]

R B is crazy.

[Rory]

All right.

[Baby D]

R B

[Rory]

could do plows. Ms. Pretty.

[Peach]

Ms. Pretty.

[Baby D]

That's not really R B, though.

[Rory]

I mean, they're singing on the hook. Miss Pretty. Okay.

[Peach]

Love.

[Baby D]

Love should have brought your black ass home last night.

[Rory]

That's where your mind.

[Peach]

Very true.

[Baby D]

See what I'm saying? One of the greatest soundtracks right there. Tony, that broke. Tony wasn't her first song, Right?

[Peach]

Not her first song, but it might have been her. One of her bigger ones.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I think that was Toni Braxton's first record.

[Peach]

Love should have bought you one was not Tony Braxton's first record.

[Baby D]

What was her first record?

[Peach]

Let me see.

[Baby D]

That was one of the first ones, definitely. If not the first one or two.

[Peach]

Oh, my God. You're. You're right. That was her first solo single.

[Rory]

I be knowing the jukebox right now.

[Baby D]

Y' all be knowing. Like, you're not gonna tell me that that record broke, Tony, that's when we. The video came out. We was like, who is this fine? She had the short haircut like H and boomerang. We was like, yo, what? The song was everywhere.

[Rory]

Remember that music video channel that used to throw the facts at the bottom? Yeah, yeah. Small. You just sit there anytime. Something. Come on.

[Baby D]

All right. Fact check all these, man.

[Peach]

Next. Next. Next word is pain.

[Baby D]

Pain. Pain. Pain Fuck. Pain. R and B. Pain.

[Rory]

T. Pain.

[Baby D]

Fuck. Seem to matter for me on the spot. I can't be put on the spot. I don't like that.

[Rory]

I would be. You know, when Sorrell does this with artists, I'm in awe of how quick some of them are. I would be so bad at this.

[Baby D]

Yeah. I can't think of no pain and no R B verse. Pain.

[Rory]

Breathe. And then we can wrap up fat. Breathe.

[Baby D]

One, and then the two. Two, and then the two. R B. Oh, see, you didn't say that. You didn't say R B. Breathe again. Yep. Tony Jackson, once again.

[Rory]

Look. See?

[Baby D]

Babyface, the greatest nigga ever. The greatest writer ever. Babyface. Look. Look how many Babyface songs we singing. Babyface everywhere.

[Rory]

That whole soundtrack is fucking Babyface. Yeah, that could be fun if we all, like, try to prep and get focused. But I'd be bad at that. Rap would be much easier.

[Baby D]

Oh, for sure. There's more words than rap.

[Rory]

Yeah, there's more words than rap.

[Baby D]

Words. More words.

[Rory]

Way easier to do that. But how are you celebrating? Make it wing Thursdays, going into the weekend, man.

[Baby D]

You know, phone dry. But hopefully I get an invisible ink on making Wink Thursdays, you know what I'm saying?

[Rory]

I got no birthday nudes. Zero.

[Baby D]

You didn't get no birthday news.

[Rory]

And not a single one.

[Baby D]

No way. I don't believe.

[Rory]

Not even from old work. That was like, surprise.

[Baby D]

No birthday nudes. I don't know.

[Rory]

Damn. 1.

[Baby D]

Damn. Life has changed, isn't it? Remember the good old days?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

I, like, used to get nudes on a random Tuesday. Wow.

[Rory]

Yeah. You conquer the day, king.

[Baby D]

And keep that in mind.

[Rory]

And it'd be a nude.

[Baby D]

Keep that in mind when they need help with their rent and all of that. Keep that in mind.

[Rory]

You think that's what I'd be doing?

[Baby D]

Let them be homeless.

[Peach]

Let them definitely help somebody with some rent before.

[Rory]

No, of course I have, like, for, like, nudes. I'm like, yo, send me a nude. I'll pay your rent.

[Baby D]

No, no, I'm just saying, the one that you helped with her rent. Should have sent you some news.

[Rory]

Women I've dated, I've helped. I've never helped with rent. With just like.

[Baby D]

Yeah, so women that you used to date for your birthday, they should have sent you some nudes.

[Rory]

Even if they're in a relationship.

[Baby D]

Even if they're in a relationship that.

[Rory]

That just rolls over from the rent payments. Yeah, it's like a security deposit that

[Baby D]

I didn't get back.

[Rory]

I didn't get it back. All I did was mount the tv. Like, I can't get my security deposit back. Hung up some pictures. It's crazy.

[Baby D]

Send the news, man. Just make a week Thursday.

[Rory]

But everyone's getting older, I realize. And this isn't. Everyone hates men's birthdays. It's just in general, when people get older, I just like. Even friends. Just a little happy birthday text. People used to like, post on Instagram and. Oh, talk about, like, hell no. The friendship we had. Like, now it's just like, oh, that's today. Right?

[Baby D]

Still breathing, still living.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Another year, that's all I need. But maybe. Do you make any wink this Thursday?

[Peach]

Unfortunately not. I don't know. I'm sorry.

[Baby D]

Just gotta get you a couple dirty martinis to be make it wink Fridays for you. Extra olives and all of that. Yeah, you going crazy.

[Peach]

Olives in the vodka.

[Baby D]

You such a sleaze for olives. Look at you. You get crazy for extra.

[Peach]

I really do.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I know. I know your type.

[Peach]

And I'd be like, extra olives, like I need it. They'd be like, how dirty? You want to ring around the tub?

[Baby D]

Ring around the tub dirty.

[Peach]

Ring around the toes.

[Baby D]

Whoa, that's dirty. Oh, my God, that's nasty.

[Rory]

This is how JP Morgan ended up in the situation that they're in.

[Baby D]

Oh.

[Rory]

After work, make it wing Thursday function, no worry.

[Baby D]

And now more.

[Rory]

I never ask you for anything on my birthday. That's not true. But today I'm going to ask something of you on my birthday. Can you please stop overpaying for great wireless?

[Baby D]

That's what you want for your birthday?

[Rory]

That's what I want.

[Baby D]

You want me to stop paying.

[Rory]

That's how selfless I am.

[Baby D]

I like that.

hey everyone, it's Kal Penn. I'm the host of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am

[Baby D]

sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator

[Rory]

of Andy Weir's audiobook project Hail Mary massive sci fi adventure about survival and

[Baby D]

science and what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth. I really had to make make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections and it's like, okay, yo yo, yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it. I was like, no. At this point it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that that deeply, emotionally affected me and I left it on the mic. That's great because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah dude, me too.

[Peach]

Pull his face up. I need his face on the screen, because once you see his face, everything gonna make sense.

[Baby D]

He. First of all, he looks like A.I. let's start this.

[Rory]

I agree with you.

[Baby D]

I don't even know if that's a real guy. Let's just. All right, let's have fun with it.

[Rory]

Like the. The AI HR guy. That's what you think, like, the bot would look like?

[Baby D]

Yeah, exactly. Like on your LinkedIn. When it's like a fake LinkedIn, it would be that fake.

[Rory]

Like customer service. Yeah. This is who you're talking to? Like. No, this is automated computer for sure. This has been all over the place because after we talked about it and everyone made the jokes, they were saying it was like, complete hoax, it wasn't real. Now they have details that they offered him a million dollars to settle and he said no. And now they're trying to go to court. Epstein's lawyer is involved. This has gotten way further than I thought. I don't know what's real and what's fake in this one.

[Baby D]

Wait, what?

[Rory]

Yeah, he was offered $1 million settlement, and then he countered for north of 20 million.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Rory]

And then he got exposed as. As the John Doe guy. And yes, they're going to court.

[Baby D]

So this is going to court. So this is a real thing.

[Peach]

Yeah, but they were saying that a lot of that was he. They were saying that there's no claims, that he fabricated it, that he removed the suit. I need to know, was it him or that girl that called his wife a fish head agent? That's what's important to me. Your. Your fish head, Asian fish head wife, that. I need to know whether he made that up or whether she said that.

[Rory]

That's all I thought you were saying. Maybe you thought it was misquoted.

[Peach]

No, no, no, no.

[Baby D]

He can't make that up. Like, how do you freestyle that if he Made love.

[Rory]

That means that's what he thinks of his wife. Yeah, that was his pen.

[Baby D]

Yeah, that's definitely.

[Rory]

That came from a real place.

[Baby D]

That's definitely real. Like, that's not. You don't. You can't make that up about your own wife. My Asian fish head wife. Like, come on.

[Peach]

But you know what made me feel like he was lying when we originally talked about it.

[Rory]

Everything is.

[Peach]

Well, yes. But when he was like. He said something like, oh, yeah, your Asian fish head wife doesn't have these cannons. That's white boy weirdo talk. A girl doesn't say cannons. Women do not say these things.

[Rory]

But if they're role playing, like I said, because I originally thought that this was all consensual and he was having his little fantasy with her and he was asking her to talk that way. That's why I think, yeah, she probably said cannons.

[Baby D]

Women say cannons in a.

[Rory]

In a real way.

[Baby D]

It would mean, like, just talking through the text.

[Rory]

No, for sure. Well, like, when it's. It's time to get busy, they're saying canon.

[Baby D]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. But yeah.

[Rory]

Grab a hold of these cannons.

[Baby D]

Yeah. When it's just dirty talk to a text, though, women say all kind of like. Because they know that's just the. The zone. They'd be just talking right now. Yeah, I could definitely see her texting that. But this was text, right?

[Rory]

No, this is in person. In the office.

[Baby D]

Oh, in office.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

That's.

[Rory]

That's why there's no real evidence, like, of emails or calls or anything that was recording. Oh, yeah, she's smart.

[Baby D]

She used to go in his office and get that off and then leave.

[Peach]

But what they were saying is that that doesn't make any sense because she's not his superior. So she actually had no influence on his race. So how are you saying that this girl was, like, sexually assaulting you for, like, you know what I'm saying, and, like, blackmailing you, but she has no effect on your race. She's not even your superior.

[Baby D]

Has she made a statement yet?

[Peach]

Not that I've seen.

[Baby D]

Her lawyer said it's not true. Okay.

[Rory]

Yeah. And then maybe he needs a mental health treatment. And, like, yeah, they're gonna put him through the wringer to make sure that he's not as psychotic as he seems to be.

[Baby D]

Or he'll have a boat accident next week in Turks. No, that goes. I hate those boating accidents. Don't you? Both. Damn boats.

[Rory]

This would be a perfectly written unalived letter.

[Baby D]

Damn boat accident. Ah, look, he went down, drank too much and went on the water. Another boat accident.

[Peach]

Is that how you kill people? That's how you get away with killing people.

[Baby D]

Oh, you think they don't try getting a fingerprint off a body that came out the water? Not gonna happen.

[Rory]

If you're interested, if you're interested in going down that rabbit hole, look at all the creative ways. The Clintons figured it out. It started coming up with new scenarios.

[Baby D]

Yeah, he's definitely have a boating accident in a second for sure.

[Rory]

But no, I mean JP Morgan. But the fact that there's no evidence and JP Morgan was like, we'll give you a million dollars is crazy to me.

[Peach]

Yeah, they probably just don't want to deal with it.

[Rory]

I hear that. And I mean $80 million of coke a year.

[Baby D]

A million dollars for JP Morgan that age, they'll piss on a million dollars. I don't give a fuck about a million dollars.

[Rory]

But then I feel like if you, if that's your, where you got your degree and your expertise, you can't take a million dollar settlement from JP Morgan and think you're ever going to work in banking again.

[Peach]

No.

[Rory]

And a million dollars you can't retire on.

[Baby D]

No.

[Peach]

So no, you gotta take it all away.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Oh yeah, he rolling the dice. Stay away from the water is all

[Rory]

I can tell you.

[Baby D]

Take no vacations no time soon, Mr. What's his name.

[Rory]

Stay away from tower seven.

[Baby D]

Yeah, you just sit down. Go sit down and just chill somewhere. Only the house.

[Rory]

And make sure don't ever get groceries delivered. Pick the produce yourself.

[Baby D]

Yes, yes.

[Peach]

That's how they kill people too. Damn, y' all creative.

[Baby D]

You don't watch enough crime stories, do you? You don't see how they just get rid of people. Yeah, they get you out of here.

[Peach]

See, I watch Law and Order. They always get caught.

[Baby D]

Nah, that's street level shit, we talking JP Morgan level. Like they, they'll delete your Social Security number like you never even existed and walked on this planet. Yeah, that's that type of up there. Like you know, you don't want to with them.

[Rory]

The criminals on Law and Order literally leave breadcrumbs all the way to the police station. From the parking garage to their office. Yeah, it's just follow the treasure map

[Baby D]

and you'll find JP Morgan to be like, they're like, y' all remember the marriage team? Like who we don't. We never met the man. Y' all don't remember the marriage? They used to work here. Now who the is the man y' all never see. They'll be like, they never even knew who you was.

[Peach]

Damn.

[Rory]

Yes.

[Baby D]

That. That's. That's, you know, billion dollar level. Let's get them out of here.

[Rory]

And he probably banks at Chase. So, like, how do you fight against your bank? With your bank account.

[Baby D]

Yeah, like that. Why? Ain't going through. Oh, if you do win, where's that money going?

[Peach]

Where's that money going? It's funny.

[Baby D]

They're gonna take it out of their account to put it in your account that they own. Like, no, they had.

[Rory]

Someone had posted a photo of Aziz and Sydney Sweeney and said, can't. Can't wait for this series on Netflix.

[Baby D]

They're a Aziz and who?

[Rory]

Sydney Sweeney.

[Baby D]

Are they dating?

[Rory]

No, no, they would just. One has one's white with cannons as described in the paper. Well, we thought he was more Indian than he was when we saw the photo at the time.

[Baby D]

Got you.

[Rory]

I mean, who knows where this will go.

[Peach]

J.P. morgan comes to y'. All right, $10 million.

[Rory]

J.P. himself.

[Peach]

J.P. himself. $10 million.

[Baby D]

Not enough.

[Peach]

Says not enough to kill me.

[Baby D]

To kill me.

[Rory]

To kill me.

[Baby D]

To kill you.

[Peach]

For you to go on to take me on a boat and kill me.

[Baby D]

10 million. Nah, I need more than that to kill you.

[Peach]

Fifteen.

[Baby D]

Nah, we gotta. We gotta at least. I need at least 100 million to kill you.

[Peach]

Really?

[Rory]

Wait, I'm your friend. Or I'm like a hitman. Like, and you're just. No, you're just. This exact scenario, this podcast, no money for that.

[Baby D]

Do that for the freebie.

[Rory]

That's not. No, I didn't.

[Baby D]

Oh, I thought he was gonna free me on them. I would say, damn, I'll do it

[Rory]

for the love of the game.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Just to see if you still got it. Yeah. 100 million might be out of here. Or I could. I could be like a baby. D. Listen, go to Mexico. Don't ever come back.

[Peach]

Nah, they need it.

[Rory]

They need about.

[Peach]

They need a toe.

[Baby D]

They gonna need a toe for 100 million. You let me take one of your toes. If I'm gonna give you half, I'll give you half.

[Rory]

I'll give you my left foot for 100 million.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I'm giving you 50 million. Yo, baby, take this 50 M's. I'm gonna cut this toe off, Go to Mexico. You can never come back. Delete everything.

[Peach]

All right, I'll do it. Can I take somebody with me?

[Baby D]

Nah. Cause here we go. See, she up the. Now she got her homegirl coming. A homegirl gonna want to post pictures in Mexico got Baby D in the background drinking them dirty martini like, nah, I'm dead now. They coming to get me. Like. You see what I'm saying? No, you can't take none of your girls with you.

[Peach]

No.

[Baby D]

Fuck no. They don't know how to shut up.

[Peach]

I'll take my favorite hoe. He tired of working anyway.

[Baby D]

You can't see. Just go meet somebody in Mexico that don't know nothing about nothing. You can't take nobody from.

[Rory]

She gotta go first. You gotta go further. You know how far the tentacles of J.P. morgan, they get their coke from Mexico.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but Baby D could live off the grid in Mexico.

[Peach]

I could live off the grid.

[Baby D]

I still get a nice little house, little humble house.

[Peach]

You think Rory could live off the grid ball?

[Baby D]

No. Fuck, no.

[Rory]

Why y' all say that?

[Baby D]

Are you gonna be at the first restaurant complaining about some. Now they got pictures of you complaining on the Internet, throwing a fit because your enchilada was cold.

[Rory]

And I used the Chase credit card.

[Baby D]

Yeah, yeah. No.

[Peach]

Yo, they tried to make fun of me because I sent my food back at Applebee's because it was cold. Rory, he said I was being bougie.

[Rory]

It was a little extra, man. We were at Applebee's. They do it a lot right now. Like, it's not carbon. It's a. It's like quesadilla. Like, of course it's gonna be cold.

[Baby D]

In the mid books is closed. Somebody else ordered it. They didn't want it. They took it back.

[Rory]

Exactly.

[Baby D]

You ordered a case of did it back. We got it right here.

[Rory]

That's. Come on.

[Baby D]

You know, that's what Applebee's do. Sending the. Sending the quesadilla back is crazy.

[Peach]

It was. It was the penne pasta. Rory's an. But it was pasta. It was cold. Oh, ain't no cold pasta with no cold pasta cream. Like, I want no cold cream.

[Baby D]

You can't do cold pasta.

[Rory]

Well, they just put it back in the microwave. That. They just took it.

[Baby D]

Oh, no, they definitely put it.

[Peach]

But it was hot.

[Baby D]

Yeah, they definitely microwaved you up real quick.

[Rory]

But we had already just been a nuisance for that whole. I didn't want them to start spitting our food. We were already too loud. Obnoxious.

[Peach]

Wanted to take a picture with Armani. Yo, we don't even want to. Applebee's was an experience. We were with Armani White. Shout out to Armani White.

[Rory]

We walk in, he has. He has the Applebee's crowd on lock. I just want to make that clear. I I wasn't aware.

[Baby D]

How do you have that?

[Rory]

We were walking in with a young Michael Jackson. He has the app. He has the South Jersey Applebee's crowd on lock. Bro.

[Peach]

A walked in Armani.

[Rory]

I'm gonna need a picture before you leave.

[Peach]

Mind you, we all ordered at the same time. The host that. That walked, that greeted Armani when he came in, walked to the back, brought Armani food out a full 15 minutes before ours. He was like, yeah, bro, I got you.

[Rory]

He was. He wasn't our waiter.

[Baby D]

Oh, it's like Armani's regular order.

[Rory]

No, no, no. He was just a fan fan.

[Peach]

He was the host, and he was a fan of Armani. So he went in the back and pulled Armani food and bought out Armani, fool. All the rest of us still waiting.

[Baby D]

I don't know how I feel about that. Well, no, when niggas is too fanned out, like, I don't know. You could have went back there and did something to my shit. I don't. That's just my train of thought. Like, I'm just like, I appreciate it,

[Rory]

but it's like, well, like, what you talking about? Like, obsessed fandom. Like, like, the why John Lennon got killed. Like, he was such a fan. He was trying to save him from himself. Like, you're saying that because a regular fan, I feel like, would treat your food.

[Peach]

It's kindly now, but they might kiss it for you before they bring it out.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but if he's too fanned out, it's like, I'm. I'm kind of nervous. Like, you think Michael Jackson, like, he went to a restaurant or they ordered his food, and, like, the person like, nah, you ain't know what Mike was eating at the table. The down there ordered what Mike wanted. Send me that plate. As soon as you put that blade, send me that plate. Like, Don ain't know what Mike was eating.

[Rory]

No. What Was so sick about the hostess, too, because we were in. We were in our funeral clothes. So he was like, hey, I know what service y' all coming from. So sorry to hear about your loss. This. And talking about the specific person. And then before he could even finish his condolences to me and Damaris, y' all need a picture. All right. Like, appreciate the condolences, bro.

[Peach]

Yo, yeah. Little young white boy came up to Armani.

[Rory]

He got the youth.

[Peach]

Young white boy came up to Armani. Like, I'm such a big fan, yo. It was so funny because it's just this Armani, we ain't. You know what I'm saying, but we forget sometimes that he's, like, famous.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

So it's very odd. I've known him before he was famous.

[Peach]

But don't do that, because Mad walked

[Rory]

up to you, too. Walked up the road, too. Either way, he's used to that.

[Baby D]

Come on.

[Rory]

Oh, Armani is way more famous than.

[Baby D]

That's number seven. We're not doing that.

[Peach]

Like, lucky number seven.

[Rory]

Armani was doing cartwheels with Billie Eilish on stage in Korea.

[Baby D]

Yeah. People know who he is. Yes, without a doubt. Yeah.

[Peach]

But they was like, yo, Rory. You Rory, right? Yeah.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Are you Rory? Right?

[Rory]

Yeah. But here's the. Here's the difference between, like, notoriety with me and. Everyone was so excited to see Armani because they love his work. They'll just come up to be like, yo, where I'm all at? Yo, that was a dumbass take y' all had. Like, that's. That's how I get. Yeah, notoriety. These kids were like, yo, I love. Like, your music inspires my life. No one has ever said that to me. Nobody ever said you'd be like, yo, that's what you think about the locks.

[Baby D]

Nah. Cause we've been on the road and people have said, we say we stopped them from committing suicide.

[Rory]

Oh, for sure. No meet and greets. That's different.

[Baby D]

I'm saying, like, there's no greater honor.

[Rory]

Like, when I stopped at the gas station to get us waters, like, that's my interactions. Well, Armani has the youth saying, you're literally guiding my entire existence. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if that young white kid braided his hair and.

[Baby D]

And got the same shout out to Armani, man. Good peoples right there.

[Peach]

Shout out to everybody who we stopped from killing themselves.

[Rory]

That too.

[Baby D]

Well, according to Better help. I don't.

[Rory]

Well, not you.

[Baby D]

Yeah, well, not me.

[Rory]

Never mind. 20% off. Just. Just my name.

[Baby D]

Just for.

[Rory]

But no, it was nice to see me bringing my bougie friends back. Back to Earth because we had a group, Armani and his crew, that they've traveled the entire world. They're used to find things we already know. Damaris is bougie as fuck. We had another young lady with us that clearly was. Was used to the nice. The nice things, the luxury life. I had to talk them into Applebee's for, like, 15, 20 minutes. They didn't even want to step foot in there.

[Baby D]

Gotta go. Carbon. You know that one of the girls

[Peach]

we were with, she was like, oh, it's. You can get an appetizer and two entrees. For 25.

[Rory]

She was.

[Baby D]

I ain't seen nothing like that since 2010. Right. They don't even know what that is no more.

[Rory]

She tried. She tried to order her burger medium rare. I said, baby, they make it one way.

[Baby D]

They make it one way. I saw me.

[Rory]

However you get like, however they make it is how you get it.

[Baby D]

I saw a meme off or real on Instagram. The dude was like me asking anybody how they want their burger just to make all the burgers the same. He's at the cookout.

[Rory]

He's on the grill like.

[Baby D]

Like how you want yours. I'm making all these the same dog. I don't know what. Medium well, none of that. You getting a burger at a cookout straight up.

[Rory]

But no, it was good to get back to the humble roots.

[Peach]

I hated it. I can't. I can't pretend to like Applebee's food. I can't. It's nasty and that's okay.

[Baby D]

Applebee's they used to have. It was something. Applebee's that wasn't bad that I used to get. It's been so long, I can't remember.

[Rory]

I like their wonton tacos are great. And the little appetizers, those are fire.

[Baby D]

I feel like they had today. Did they have. Was it like, was it. Was it. Was it cheesesteak egg rolls or something like that?

[Peach]

Philly cheesesteak egg rolls probably did.

[Baby D]

They had those. I feel like that might have been something I had there that wasn't bad years ago.

[Rory]

Top 10 of those. But yeah, I'm sure they probably have those at some point.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

But no, it was something that wasn't matter, man. It was that or go to Wawa and I know we'll get a bunch of flack from all our South Jersey listeners. That was not so overrated.

[Baby D]

That wasn't the only options I had. Applebee's or Wawa Damaris.

[Rory]

Am I. Am I guessing for content right now?

[Peach]

That was within a 10 minute radius. No, he's not gas. I forgot.

[Baby D]

Oh, you wanted to go something that was right there.

[Rory]

Yeah, like across from the Repass.

[Baby D]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Rory]

No, because at that point, like it was one of those if passing had no food. Yeah, they did, but we just all wanted to kick it.

[Baby D]

Oh.

[Rory]

Afterwards we just got like appetizer. She was the only one that ordered a full pen meal.

[Baby D]

Okay, got it.

[Rory]

But. But no, we wanted to stay close instead of like if we would have went somewhere else, I would have just hit that turnpike and would have went home. Got so you Know this is an endorsement for. For Applebee's.

[Peach]

Shout out to Applebee's, man.

[Baby D]

Shout out to Applebee's. Good place, man. I like Applebee's.

[Peach]

That's a Diana Rossini.

[Rory]

No.

[Peach]

Shout out to Diana Rossini. For real.

[Baby D]

We back on this.

[Peach]

We.

[Baby D]

Mike Vrabel. Diana. Dirty Diana.

[Rory]

No, Dirty Diana is dirtier than we thought.

[Baby D]

Dirty Diana and.

[Rory]

And it's Dirty Mike and the boys for sure.

[Baby D]

Well, we understand Mike being dirty, but

[Rory]

dirty Diana because of cte, I mean. Yeah.

[Baby D]

Come on. Well, no, Mike ain't thinking straight.

[Rory]

More. More came. Came out. I guess everyone's just been sitting on files and videos for forever, and they finally are just now reaching the timeline. They had video and paperwork of them renting a boat while she was pregnant with the child. She ended up naming Mike. We thought it was kind of nasty, but this is like. This is different. This has entered a whole new level.

[Baby D]

This is real.

[Rory]

Like you holding her belly on a boat and then the kid's name is Mike.

[Baby D]

Wait, he was holding her belly?

[Rory]

I just assumed.

[Baby D]

Oh, you can't get up if you

[Rory]

want a boat and she's showing. You're not gonna touch her belly. How's Mikey doing?

[Baby D]

Yeah, probably.

[Rory]

You're not. Come on. Yeah. Oh, I understand that she has a brother named Michael. We talked about that the last time.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but I've never taken.

[Rory]

But Mike wasn't on that boat.

[Baby D]

I've never taken a boat ride with just me and my sister. Nah, never done that. Oh, naming the kid might be after the brother.

[Rory]

No, it's definitely Mike Raybourne.

[Baby D]

That's a great ad. That's a great alibi for her story.

[Peach]

They wild. Boy, are they. Wow.

[Rory]

I haven't seen photos of the kids, and I don't want to because that's nasty and that's. That's private. So I hope we never see photos of the kids, even if they are out there. Do we think that that might be his kid? Then? If you want a boat, she's showing and the kid's name is Mike. Before, I thought it was just.

[Baby D]

That's.

[Rory]

It was just a gray area layover of a fucking affair gone wrong. But nah. Yeah, she's showing.

[Peach]

I've been told, y' all that girl is wrong. I told y' all that dirty Diana, she's wrong, bro. That baby name should have been Steve.

[Rory]

But do you think. I mean, all right. Do you think that was the. The boat ride where they had to figure everything? Like, yo, what are we gonna do if this ends up being My kid, then he don't give a if it's

[Peach]

six kid or not. He gonna take care of it. He love that baby.

[Baby D]

Who? Her husband or Mike?

[Peach]

Mike.

[Baby D]

I don't know if Mike love that kid. If it ain't his.

[Rory]

Definitely doesn't. My guess is that they came up with a logical plan of the situation they were in. Let's name the kid Mike. If it ends up being my husband's, it's named after my brother. If it ends up being yours, it's Mike Jr. Can't go wrong either way with the name.

[Peach]

My thing is how. And I'm not blaming men. How is your wife pregnant and able to keep up an affair? And you don't know. That's crazy.

[Rory]

But we don't know if this. This boat conversation was this. This was the end. This was the combo.

[Baby D]

Like, this is our last.

[Rory]

We. Like, we gotta stop.

[Peach]

And.

[Baby D]

Yeah, this is getting. I'm too. I'm too much having a baby.

[Rory]

Maybe she pulled up her. Her. Her sex app, whatever that app is, where women can put in when the times they had sex unprotected. And maybe they went through the timeline and came to the conclusion that this isn't. This isn't Mikey Variable Jr. This is Mikey. My brothers.

[Baby D]

Mikey. My brothers. This is Mikey, my brother.

[Rory]

Because I could see. I mean, it's a sick thing to do to do a boat ride for that conversation. Like, maybe you just meet it at Applebee's and call it a day. But, yeah, maybe that was just where they. They had their last combo, bro.

[Peach]

They was on a date and living their life.

[Rory]

They were real. If you're doing that, signing their real

[Peach]

names on the boating license is crazy. They never thought this was going to come out.

[Baby D]

Both records show that they were the only passengers on the boat. This took place two months before the birth of her son, Michael. Wow.

[Rory]

He thought that was his kid.

[Peach]

Oh, they weren't. Oh, they weren't the only ones on the boat.

[Rory]

That's even worse. Well, why does it matter if they were the only ones on the boat or not?

[Peach]

Because they work together.

[Baby D]

That ain't work.

[Peach]

But it's. They. There was other staff on the boat.

[Baby D]

They don't work.

[Rory]

Don't work together.

[Baby D]

She's a reporter.

[Rory]

Why keep saying that?

[Baby D]

He's the head coach of the team.

[Rory]

Like, if anything, they're enemies. That's like forbidden love. Outside of the affair. You can't be the reporter.

[Baby D]

Wow. This is.

[Rory]

That's Paola.

[Baby D]

So at this point, does the husband ask for a DNA test?

[Rory]

The husband. The husband's gonna say, you want to go on a boat ride, and only one person's coming back.

[Baby D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a fact.

[Peach]

I'm telling you, that husband is not. A lot of men don't want. Don't want to know that information.

[Baby D]

Don't want to know what?

[Peach]

They don't want to know if that baby is theirs.

[Baby D]

But why, though? Why you think men.

[Peach]

Because sometimes when you've raised a child for seven, eight years, you don't want to know that it's not your.

[Baby D]

Ain't no way in hell. Seven, eight years, and I. And I feel like it might not be mine. I need to know for sure.

[Rory]

What's dirty Diana's name? Diana what? Cini. Husband.

[Peach]

But we've had this convo, and Rory said that he wouldn't want to know.

[Baby D]

He's lying.

[Rory]

And when did I say that?

[Peach]

I said If Amara turned 15 and there was a chance, she wouldn't be yours.

[Baby D]

There's no chance. Amara's not his daughter. Have you seen Amara? Have you seen her? I just want to know, have you seen Amara? There's no chance.

[Rory]

Or Key has a very specific type.

[Baby D]

Yeah, there's no chance that's not Rory's daughter. It's no chance.

[Rory]

All right. I'm looking at her husband. It would be tough, because I was going to say there's no way Mike Vrabel is a hall of fame outside linebacker. There's not just a lot of those guys. Physiques. Just walking around. Her husband doesn't look like. Paul's a small dude, and they kind of look alike, so that might be a tough thing. I was thinking it would be obvious to know if Lil Michael was mine or not. Cause Mike Vrabel is a fucking.

[Baby D]

They have the same. They have the same. Okay, they look like they go to the same barber. Let's start.

[Rory]

No, they look a lot alike.

[Baby D]

They look like they go to the same barber, for sure. The husband seems to be more clean cut, clean shaven. Mike lets the stubble grow out a little bit.

[Rory]

All right, but where does that land us with little Michael?

[Baby D]

Yeah. I don't know, man. This is tough. I'm just saying, just alone from the boat ride, alone being too much from giving birth, that right there is enough for me to be like, all right, man. Like something. Something's not right. This is. And again, I. I don't. You know, we just talking, because this is headline. But if I'm the husband, if I'm Diana's husband, I. I need a DNA test. I need one. This. This. No.

[Peach]

You desert your son, you leave your son.

[Baby D]

If it's not mine. Yeah, yeah, I'm out of there. I'm out of there.

[Peach]

You never speak.

[Rory]

You don't think they've done A. A DNA test already? Probably 100.

[Baby D]

You think they don't. You think.

[Peach]

But white people. I'm telling you, white people be like, ah, no, he's mine. That's mine. He's mine. No matter what the test say, he's mine.

[Baby D]

Peas wouldn't do that. Yes. He don't get. They don't get much whiter than keep the kid. What you mean she had the kid already?

[Peach]

No, I'm saying. But Peach wouldn't have let her keep it.

[Baby D]

Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay.

[Rory]

Mike Vrabel had a game against the Panthers. He's not focused on that. I'm talking about the husband. That. They got a DNA test. There's no question. That didn't happen.

[Baby D]

I think by now they probably got

[Rory]

one from 20, 21.

[Baby D]

Yeah, they got one by now.

[Peach]

Damn. Yo.

[Rory]

And I think the answer is that it's not. It's not Mike's. So we actually. I mean, why is no one asking how Mike Vrabel feels? That boat ride could have been their baby moon. Like, you. You didn't know that. He could have thought that could have been his kid.

[Baby D]

That's sick.

[Rory]

Why is no one checking on Mike.

[Baby D]

That's sick if he thought that was his.

[Peach]

All I'm saying is if you two

[Rory]

months away from her giving birth, y' all on a boat together. Yes. I think he thought there was a high chance that that was his kid.

[Baby D]

High chance or he just didn't give a.

[Peach]

Just don't be caring. But I know if you desert me as my dad, because, like, you find out that Mike Vrabel is my real dad, I'll be like you, my dad, Mike Vrabel, anyway you like. Why would you desert me? I just think that that's up

[Baby D]

because the mom was doing some wild.

[Peach]

Yeah, but why I gotta suffer as a kid? Why is my life now flipping?

[Baby D]

You're not gonna suffer. You get season tickets. You get to go to, like, spring training and like that.

[Peach]

Like, whoa.

[Rory]

That'll make it all better.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Come on, man. You know, hard knocks, you get this behind the scene of hard knocks.

[Rory]

Well, you know how many out of wedlock children that have athletes fathers that never even got a T shirt, let alone a ticket to a game? You know how many kids are watching on TV like, I think that's my dad.

[Baby D]

That's up, man.

[Rory]

Oh, well, no, that don't mean.

[Peach]

Well, prayers to everyone involved.

[Baby D]

Prayers. Even though we're not gonna pray for y'.

[Peach]

All.

[Baby D]

Prayers that we're not gonna send to all involved.

[Rory]

I mean, with these types of situations, do you think there's ever going to be. I mean, maybe, I guess come August, when Mike Vrabel, like, has to talk. He's. There's no way this just, like, passes.

[Baby D]

He's not going to talk about this.

[Rory]

He was just in the Super Bowl.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but they'll ask him. But he's not. He's not talking about this. He'll. He'll leave the podium if they start asking about this. He getting up and leaving. There's no way he's talking about this.

[Rory]

Okay. Does she keep working?

[Baby D]

No. Hell, no.

[Peach]

Well, she left the Atlantic, so. She left the.

[Baby D]

She'll never see the inside of Gillette Stadium again in her life unless she buy a ticket. And even then, like, you know, they do face scan.

[Rory]

I was about to say craft. No.

[Baby D]

Whole crowd now. They'll. Security come right to your seat, like, can you come with us for a second? They'll walk you right to the exit, like, you gotta leave.

[Peach]

That's crazy. That's not fair. It takes two to tango.

[Baby D]

Yeah, it does. But Mike. Mike is more valuable to the organization than Dirty Diana.

[Rory]

Just saying Mike at least got us. Got us to this. We didn't win, but got us to this. You just reported on it. Yeah. We can do without you.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Peach]

Who you think motivated that to go in there and coach for real?

[Baby D]

She may have done.

[Peach]

See you. You don't never want to give the woman credit. For real. Why you think he bounced in there like that? All motivated. Got them boys ready? Yeah.

[Rory]

He again. Hall of Fame outside linebacker. Tutelage under Bill Belichick.

[Baby D]

Had super bowl rings. Like. Like, he's. He's done some things in that stadium before.

[Rory]

Did great. Great coach in the Tennessee Titans. Yeah.

[Baby D]

I mean, yeah, he know what he doing. He know a little bit about football.

[Rory]

He knows a little bit about ball.

[Baby D]

He know a little bit about football.

[Rory]

I don't know if, like, if some sloppy head on a boat got him.

[Peach]

Got him sucking dick while pregnant. Gotta be awful. You already nauseous? Ma.

[Baby D]

What.

[Peach]

What you say for. You got head from a pregnant girl before?

[Baby D]

No.

[Peach]

Oh, okay.

[Baby D]

Come on, man. I'm not. You think. I'm not one of those type of dudes, you know? Come on, baby. I'm not that guy. I would Never do that.

[Rory]

Okay.

[Baby D]

No, I did.

[Peach]

It was your best.

[Baby D]

I did. Is funny when you got a daughter. Like I would hope so. Yeah, absolutely.

[Rory]

I mean, I felt fine about it. Anyways. New music that is out right now. As you are listening to this, you can open up your phone wherever you get music. Chris Brown, full album. Brown, 27 Records. Leon Thomas, Tank Vibes Cartel, Bryson Tiller, Young Boy. I heard the, the Young Boy record today. Again, we're recording this on a Thursday. That record sounded great. Glorilla Friday, Sexy Red, Lucky Day. I just, I, I wish Chris would give us, give us a 14 track album. But 27 is short for him. That's like an illmatic for him. That's like 27 records. Yeah. Yeah.

[Baby D]

Why is this? Why they say he catching flag online? Because he used AI in the promo.

[Rory]

Oh yeah. In his promo.

[Baby D]

Oh,

[Rory]

yeah.

[Baby D]

So people didn't like that.

[Rory]

Yeah. Which, I mean, I, I, I get it. I've seen he's not the only artist that I've seen get called out right away when they try to do some promo assets or even like lyric videos and stuff. We just saw it with Alchemist and Erica Badu. Guys got smoked because they used AI for a video and it was like, well, do you guys like the song?

[Baby D]

Right? Can we talk about the music? No. Okay.

[Rory]

But I, I do, I don't mind fans giving that, that backlash. It's, it's okay. Be purist, guys. Yeah, let's, let's fight against it. I'm not mad at that. But 27 records, I'm, I'm here for it. I'm, I'm, I want the classic Chris Brown album. I want the quintessential Chris Brown album. I don't think he's given it to us yet. And 27 records, that's tough. But we'll see. Everything I've heard so far sound great. Single with Leon is great. The Shadar with Young Boy is great.

[Baby D]

I mean, I'm, Listen, man, I think Chris Brown, obviously, we know what he does. He's one of the greatest artists ever. And you know, anytime he's putting out an album, I'm listening to it. Even if it is three days long, I'm going to listen. We support Chris over here and that, that record with Leon Thomas is dope. That's the only record I heard so far. So.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's really good. Also, Black is putting out a single, Young Thug, Ashen, the Blunt. I don't know if you guys been paying attention to Black's rollout. It's every record. Bird Flu Sunday, again with two chains. Everything Black has been doing going into this album, I've loved Shout out to Black.

[Peach]

I'd love to sit down with him when he comes to New York.

[Rory]

He's in New York now, and that's not a snitching. He put it on his Instagram, so I definitely tried. I was like, ew. Let me know, bro.

[Peach]

He busy.

[Rory]

He's. He keeps doing self, and he's not one of those, you know, artists that, like, pretend to be, like. I don't want to say moody, but, like, you know, artistic, and I hate the world and, like, don't want to be around anyone that's Black for, like. Like, for real. Like, he just wants to hang with his kids and not go outside. He's always been that I with Black, though. No, he's a great guy. Like, in a personal setting. Yeah. He's charismatic and funny and cool, but when he doesn't. Can you name last time you saw a Black interview?

[Baby D]

Yeah, it's been years.

[Rory]

Like, I'm actually put out three albums.

[Baby D]

I can't name a Black interview that I saw.

[Rory]

No, I think he did one with Hot, like, off the free Black album in, like, 2014, maybe. So I. I mean, I would love that Black on the show. I mean, y' all already know how I feel about him. He's one of my favorite artists. But, yeah, I'm excited.

[Baby D]

You're Black. We need you up here, man. Let's kick it.

[Peach]

When he sat down with Gina and them a couple days ago, so.

[Rory]

Oh, real. Okay.

[Baby D]

Gina views great, and who? DJ Head? Yeah, Black, we don't need you up here.

[Rory]

That's crazy.

[Peach]

Don't do that.

[Baby D]

We'll catch you.

[Rory]

This is crazy.

[Baby D]

We're just listening to the album, man. No, I'm just with y'.

[Peach]

All.

[Rory]

No, I know you're joking. I. I just hope people know you're joking. I'm joking, but, no, everything's sounding great. So I'm excited to hear the Young Thug one. Lil Sims putting out an ep. Sugar Girl Tiana Taylor w. Better Roses remix. I think they performed a version of that already. There's good music coming out.

[Baby D]

Is the Dream album tonight too?

[Rory]

Not that I saw.

[Baby D]

When is the Dream album coming out?

[Rory]

I mean, he just said Love Hate 2 coming soon, so.

[Baby D]

Looking forward to that. One of my favorite artists right there.

[Rory]

I think Dream gives us another single before the. Before the album. I don't know if he's just gonna drop it, but I'm definitely looking forward to that.

[Baby D]

Hell yeah.

[Rory]

So Jessie Reyes announced she has album dropping in June. Love Jesse. It's good music coming up.

[Baby D]

Jesse Reyes.

[Rory]

Definitely good music.

[Baby D]

Bronson, Planet Frog.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Rock Marciano. Lil Yachty, Paul Wall.

[Rory]

Have you seen the videos that they've been doing? Yeah, the visuals that action's been doing

[Baby D]

for the has been incredible.

[Rory]

I when I saw the snippet for it, I didn't even think it was a video. I thought it was like a commercial.

[Baby D]

Yeah, actually he been doing his thing, man. Shout out to Action Bronson.

[Rory]

Yeah, that with Rock Marciano is fire. But no, I love everything they've been doing visually. So good, good music. Friday on the way. No worry Mall. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock bet, which you know is Florida Sportsbook. Everyone knows that. Second round NBA playoffs. Yes, the Knicks are here to show up.

Hey everyone, it's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook project Hail Mary, Massive sci fi adventure about survival and

[Baby D]

science and what happens when you wake up alone, very, very far from Earth. I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections. And it's like, okay, yo yo yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it. I was like, no. At this point it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that that deeply, emotionally affects at me. And I left it on the mic. That's great because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah dude, me too.

Do we think he'll just play music from the album or stuff that maybe wouldn't make the album because we're getting the album in a few hours. Curious how he's gonna set that stream up.

[Baby D]

Me too.

[Rory]

But, yeah, he. He did a whole Instagram thing last night with episode one, two, three, and. And the fourth one. But, I mean, I'm. I'm here for it.

[Baby D]

A week away.

[Rory]

Nervous?

[Baby D]

Me?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Not me.

[Rory]

A little. Some butterflies.

[Baby D]

Some of y' all should be, though. I'm not. But some of y' all out there, y' all might want to be nervous.

[Rory]

I'm. I'm not. Nervous would be the complete wrong word. I'm looking forward to the music. I'm not looking forward to the moment.

[Peach]

Why I'm not looking forward to. Have to talk about it. I hate when big albums come out and we got to talk about it. I just want to listen to the album. Just enjoy it. I said every time. I hate it.

[Baby D]

You can listen to the album and still enjoy it or not enjoy it and just talk about if you enjoyed it or not.

[Peach]

Yeah, but I don't want to have to critique it.

[Baby D]

You don't have to.

[Rory]

I don't mind. I don't mind that part. I'm always here to talk about music and in a good way and critique it, but I just, I. I just know it's going to be just a moment of just nastiness that's mostly not going to be about the music here is fine. I don't care. I'm not a moment. I'm not nervous. I'm not nervous about the moment here because I know everyone in here cares about music and we have good conversations about everything. Everything outside of this studio, I think, is just gonna be just nasty shit that has nothing to do with the music whatsoever. Dissecting points that aren't even about the song, but about two words that may have to do with someone else. And I just know every time I open my phone, it's gonna be like, all right, this is where we're at with, with, with music. Because even. Even, like the fall off was. Was less what I'm talking about. But of course, that was a focus as well. Even on Cole's press run, most of the conversation was less about a 32 track album that he put out and more about other. I can just. I already know, and I know this stream is going to have all these little hints and treasure hunts that everyone's going to overthink and which is cool. That's a good way to market. I get that. But it's just going to make me more disgusted with where we're at with music fans. That's. That's all. He could put out a classic or a dud, and no matter what, it's going to be a nasty. A nasty week.

[Baby D]

It's gonna be a nasty week.

[Rory]

But as a Drake fan, I am excited. Yeah, always excited to get new Drake music.

[Baby D]

Good times.

[Rory]

So that.

[Baby D]

Good times. Good music, good entertainment. But great entertainment.

[Rory]

I gotta. I gotta find a place that we can go where people don't care about that.

[Baby D]

People don't care.

[Rory]

Dyckman doesn't care about that. Dycman just wants to hear good music.

[Peach]

Music.

[Rory]

I'm gonna go.

[Peach]

Nobody in real life cares about that.

[Rory]

That's true.

[Baby D]

Go up to Dykeman and listen to an album.

[Rory]

No, like where if. If there's an outside record on that album on Friday, by Saturday that shit's gonna be playing Indictment and no one's gonna be talking about a rap beef.

[Baby D]

It's gonna be a lot of

[Rory]

13 disc records and I didn't know it.

[Baby D]

Nah, good music. Great music on the way, man. Looking forward to it.

[Rory]

Are you upset that you can't go to the Cudi tour anymore? Because I know you were really just going to see Mia. Are you gonna skip the New York date?

[Baby D]

You was telling me about this now, why. Why did Cudi kick Mia off the tour?

[Rory]

I mean, she was going on particular rants. But I'll put it in a real NutShell, not the PR thing or any of the backlash. If my opener gets booed three shows in a row, you're not on my tour anymore.

[Baby D]

Is that what happened?

[Rory]

She got booed, like loudly booed for three shows in a row.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Rory]

She was going on weird rants. And granted, I just saw her on, well, not just, but last year on Pat Bedroot. David. Like she's. She's off her rocker on a lot of stuff. I. That was a weird move by Cudi, to be quite honest. I can't see anyone seeing the Mia interviews in the last year and go, you know what?

[Baby D]

It.

[Rory]

Let's give her a microphone to start my show.

[Baby D]

So she responded by saying she herself is illegal and her team doesn't have visas. That was her response.

[Peach]

Is she going through like a mental health crisis?

[Rory]

I don't want to say that, but yeah, it appeared that way. Not in the concert footage, but what I've seen in her interviews.

[Baby D]

Yeah, but why, why would Kid. Why would Kid Cudi choose Mia in the first place?

[Peach]

To nostalgia.

[Rory]

I mean, yeah, definitely that era. Like, they came out around the same time. If Mia was who we knew before and, like, wasn't on this agenda, stuff that she's on now that isn't the music, like, she's a good dj. She's a great artist. Like, I. I see. That's a cool opener. That would give me incentive if I was on the fence for a Cudi show. Oh, shit. I could see Mia, too. Look, this is gonna be a whole blog era show. I can't wait.

[Baby D]

Right?

[Rory]

But no, not when you cut in the middle of your hit and just start going on rants like that make no sense to a crowd that doesn't want to hear that type of stuff.

[Baby D]

But see, this is so funny to me because she gets booed for. She says, And Kanye gets sold out stadiums for the.

[Rory]

He says, not everyone is talent level.

[Baby D]

But that's what. That's why I said this is funny. Because when you have a certain talent level, you can say anything. You can do whatever the fuck you want to do. Because I promise you, shit that Kanye has said is way worse than anything Mia has said. For sure.

[Rory]

I completely agree. But also, that became kind of a stick in Kanye's shows. It got progressively crazier as the times went. But people sometimes would go to Kanye shows for the rants. Like the Yeezus tour. There was an hour dedicated to every show of a rant, and people couldn't wait for the rant. No one is, yo, I cannot wait for the Mia rant.

[Baby D]

But, yeah, it's up. Just because she ain't got the big records like Kanye.

[Rory]

No, just maybe. Maybe we just don't want to hear her rent.

[Baby D]

But if she had songs as big as Kanye.

[Rory]

No, if she was Kanye West, I'd want to hear her rent.

[Baby D]

That's what I'm saying.

[Rory]

I slowed up, all right?

[Baby D]

It's not.

[Rory]

Become Kanye west and then get back on the tour.

[Baby D]

No, but it's not what she's saying. It's the fact that, you know, she's just not big enough to be going on rants like that. Saying what she's saying.

[Peach]

Yeah, you're not big enough for people to look past it. But it's like, you know, it's the same thing with Pretty Privilege. Y' all let Pretty Privilege get away with things. Y' all would never let a mediocre in the face.

[Baby D]

Oh, yeah. Pretty women. Oh, they could do the Booger Wolves can't. Oh, yeah, we just gotta keep it real about that. When you pretty, you get away with mad shit. When you ugly, you got your. You short, you. Your room forever is very short. When you pretty, you could fuck up all year. It don't matter if I was ugly,

[Peach]

would y' all have fired me by now?

[Baby D]

Hell, yeah.

[Peach]

I figured.

[Baby D]

Would have packed you right up. Figured that I would have helped you pack.

[Rory]

You would have a mic to begin with.

[Baby D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think you have a voice. If you're ugly, you're ugly. You can't speak, so use your inside voice. When you're ugly, nobody wants to hear. Nobody wants to hear your ugly thoughts. Your ugly opinion on the coach.

[Rory]

I mean, you're lucky that we even let you give your pretty thoughts.

[Baby D]

Yeah, like, are you kidding me? You lucky. You barely got your pretty thoughts off.

[Rory]

And these are the rants that Mia is going on right now.

[Baby D]

Yeah, if you wasn't nice to look at, oh, we would have packed you up many moons ago, baby D. You would have been packed right the up for sure.

[Rory]

I hear what y' all are saying with the Kanye point to some degree. But even before Kanye went completely off his rocker, he did have intelligent rants about his deals with Adidas and things he was going through that we really wanted to hear. The rants Mia is going on at an opening crowd. People are using the bathroom, getting drinks. Is I don't want to perform my hit record illegal because some of you might be illegals. That's not the rant that I think. Just because she's not on Kanye's level, that's not working anywhere.

[Baby D]

But that's not.

[Rory]

Unless it was an Erica Kirk show.

[Baby D]

I never heard the song illegal, so I don't know. Is it an offensive song?

[Peach]

Song?

[Rory]

No. It's a song that Mia fans, it would be in your opening set. If you're mia, okay, and you've heard illegal, you probably wouldn't. If you heard it, you know it.

[Baby D]

Okay.

[Rory]

But yeah, when I say rants, she's not doing Kanye level rants of, like, even though I disagree with what they're saying, I see where you're coming from. That's a cool perspective. No, this is just someone cutting off their. Their best records and saying, like, that it balls down.

[Baby D]

Mia is just not big enough. That's all. She's not a big enough artist to be saying and doing what she's doing or wrong.

[Rory]

Crowd, yo, the. The right wing grifter. Make your profit before it goes away, because it's at its peak now. It's only going to go down. That's just how the world works. Get your money now when you can Mia go to a turning point show and get this shit off. They'll prop you up like you're the greatest artist of all time, I guess.

[Baby D]

Oh, well, she'll find work somewhere else.

[Rory]

With Erica Kirk, I'm trying to give her guidance here. Like, you're just with the wrong audience. That's. That's really all it is. These jokes will go. Would go nuts with that crowd. They would love it.

[Baby D]

Yeah. Do we have voicemails? You've got mail going on. Y'.

[Rory]

All, this is Kent from Virginia. Now, a couple days ago, my buddy Renick and I went out for lunch, and he was telling me how he and his wife went to this crime slash dinner experience where you pay for a meal and they reenact the crime. And I was thinking to myself, yo, that's crazy. Like, imagine you just chowing down on a T Bone steak and there's Nicole Kidman getting stabbed by allegedly OJ and then you gotta figure out if he kills you. Now, Nicole Edmond, that got me thinking, and I'll give you guys two prompts. What crime would you like to get reenacted while you're having dinner? Or what moment in hip hop that you want to see in front of you while you mowing down a steak? I want Peach to also get on this and maybe Ryan, too, because I know he has something crazy to say. But, yeah, you can either do either two or choose one. But I'm curious on what you guys think other than that much love. Appreciate what you guys do. Take it easy.

[Baby D]

Thanks, Kent. Appreciate that.

[Rory]

So it has to be a crime

[Baby D]

or just a moment or a moment.

[Peach]

Crime or a moment of hip hop.

[Baby D]

Moment in hip hop. I ain't gonna lie. Give me.

[Rory]

It's a good question.

[Baby D]

Give me Snoop at the Source Awards.

[Rory]

But she was there.

[Peach]

That's funny.

[Baby D]

Give me Snoop at the Source Awards.

[Rory]

I mean, that entire Source Awards in itself could be. Because isn't that the same as the South. Got something to say. Was that. Didn't that all happen at the same Source Awards?

[Baby D]

Yeah, that's.

[Rory]

That's a wild Snoop at the Source Awards. I would. Speaking of Snoop, the conversation between Pac and Nas and Bryant park, that's been told from so many different stories that are so conflicting. I would like to see what happened there. Like that real conversation between Pac and Nas, because, yeah, that. That's gotten lost in translation so many times.

[Peach]

I want to see Cole pop on.

[Baby D]

Diddy it was the other way around.

[Peach]

Or did he pop on Cole?

[Rory]

Yeah, yeah, Other way around. I think Cole held. Held his own, but, yeah, that'd be

[Baby D]

a good one to be able to sit down and eat and watch that.

[Peach]

That's the one I want.

[Baby D]

I'll be like, get my Brad Pit off like.

[Peach]

Or Chris. Was it Chris Brown and Drake that fought? Who fought in the club? Chris Brown and Drake?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Tony Parker was a collateral damage. Yeah.

[Peach]

Got hit with the bottle, Right?

[Rory]

Was that whip, whip, whip?

[Peach]

Yeah, yeah, that one too, bro.

[Rory]

Whip ceilings, like here, how you throw a bottle.

[Baby D]

Yeah, that was raining. It was raining glass.

[Rory]

I mean, he survived this one. So it would be interesting to watch Pac get off that elevator after being shot. And it's Puff Big, everyone, like all of 90s hip hop, just staring at him while he's shot. That would just be an interesting. That's kind of nuts. Imagine you just in quad shooting pool in the elevator door open, and it's Tupac with five bullet wounds.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Saying, call my mom and give me a cigarette instead of call the ambulance.

[Baby D]

Yeah, that would be crazy to watch that. Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

Something else I feel like in hip hop that I would want to see, though, be able to watch.

[Rory]

I mean, there's. There's so many moments, just the entire beginning. The first. The first house party.

[Baby D]

The first house. This.

[Peach]

Want to watch the inception of hip hop?

[Rory]

No, because here's my thing. I think we romanticize in August 73. Like the first. The cool Herc. You know, we've seen the flyer.

[Baby D]

Well, you said the first house. I'm thinking to my kid and play. I'm like, I'm gonna watch house party.

[Rory]

No, I've seen the movie.

[Baby D]

Yes. I'm like, he lost me. But the first.

[Rory]

Yeah, like that. Everyone, you know, coins as the. The day that hip hop started.

[Baby D]

Got you.

[Rory]

Only because I know we think. Of course, we romanticize that. Look, look what it did. Look at what it's done for all of us. But, you know, some bullshit was probably happening at that house. But I would just like to see. These are real human beings.

[Baby D]

Got you.

[Rory]

You know, some bullshit happens.

[Baby D]

Oh, of course it has to. It happens. It's been happening ever since. I feel like there's one more, though. I ain't gonna lie. I would like to watch the Will Smith Chris Rock Show.

[Peach]

I literally. You took it out my fucking mouth.

[Baby D]

Like, that's hip hop. That's Will Smith.

[Rory]

That's. Stop.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I would like to watch that again. Because it was so quiet when he started Going off. So I just hear, like, the fork hitting the plate while you. I would definitely want to watch that in real time. What?

[Peach]

Damn.

[Baby D]

That's one. That's one thing I wish I was in the audience for, because you would have definitely heard me say something.

[Peach]

Oh, mom. Like, oh.

[Baby D]

I'm like, damn it.

[Rory]

I can't believe no one said oh, yeah.

[Baby D]

Like, nobody said nothing, I think. But looking back, everybody did. They wasn't sure if it was a sketch, it was a skit.

[Rory]

Like, even if it was a sketch, I'm like, oh, shit.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah. That would be hilarious to see. Yeah, it's still. It's still hip hop to me because Prince and Mike are hip hop to me. But Mike trying to run over Prince.

[Baby D]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Rory]

What?

[Baby D]

I need to see that. We need the footage of that.

[Rory]

That would be the funniest shit.

[Baby D]

We need the footage of that for sure. We need the footage of that one.

[Rory]

Not only because he was trying to run over Prince. I don't know why. I would just find it hilarious to watch Michael Jackson drive.

[Peach]

Drive.

[Baby D]

Because he didn't know how to drive.

[Rory]

Just seeing Mike. But imagine a car pass. You're like, yo, that was Mike. That was Mike just whipping.

[Baby D]

I definitely would want to see when Michael Jackson stepped Tupac over Kedada Jones. Quincy Jones daughter.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Baby D]

I just want to see how Mike was pressing Pac because they said Mike pressed the shit out of poc. I need to see that. I need to see that. Got to see that.

[Rory]

That'd be fucking.

[Baby D]

Show me the footage of that, please. We need. Why that ain't out. All this other shit we get to look at all the time. That's the footage we need. Nobody thought about recording that moment.

[Peach]

No. Back in the day, people used to just live their lives. You couldn't be caught deck recording no celebrity and no intimate shit. Miss that.

[Baby D]

We need that footage. Damn. We need that.

[Rory]

And you'd have to, like, pull up a full camera. Like, you can't.

[Baby D]

You can't just be like, can't sneak record. Yeah, no, you can't sneak record that. Not back in those days. You had a whole camcorder.

[Rory]

Got the whole shit up on your shoulder too.

[Baby D]

Like. Like a news report, like a.

[Rory]

Like a camera guy. Hold on, Mike. Let me. Mikey y.

[Peach]

But that's one thing I hate about life now is that, like, everybody's always. Even normal people are so afraid of being recorded that people just don't live the way they used to. Like, you don't w out the way you used to because people Always.

[Rory]

I'm not wilding out like I used to.

[Peach]

Song association. Ah, you running back.

[Baby D]

Come on, B.C.

[Rory]

he's ready now.

[Baby D]

Come on now. I'm ready now. I'm warmed up. Don't worry about it. I got you.

[Rory]

I would love to watch the first conversation that. That Jay and Nas had after the beef. That private convo they had together. What? Like what? Not even really the full conversation. Who just broke the ice. Like, what was the first word?

[Baby D]

Definitely Jay.

[Rory]

Like, yo, what's up? Like, how do you even start that combo? Yeah, I would love to see the Meek and Drake one too.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Peach]

Nah, I want to see a reenactment of Solange whooping J ass in that elevator while I'm eating.

[Rory]

No, no, no. I want to see walking into the. We didn't see before we get to the elevator.

[Peach]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Walking into the elevator. That was getting washed. They washed your goat.

[Baby D]

They didn't wash. He didn't get washed.

[Peach]

Yeah, washed.

[Baby D]

He was a gentleman. And throughout the whole about to say if. Yeah, he was being a gentleman. That's all he was.

[Rory]

He had to please in that scenario. Always say, I got washed.

[Baby D]

He had to eat that. There's nothing he could do in this.

[Peach]

It's like Beyonce, the only person that thought about the cameras in the elevator, she was just standing there like this. It's like my bitch was the only one that was like, that's probably.

[Baby D]

Nah. Jay thought about the cameras in the elevator too.

[Peach]

All right,

[Baby D]

let me promise. I could promise you what Sean from Marcy thought about. He thought about the cameras in that elevator 1000%. Absolutely. Very self aware. Like these cameras is all over this elevator.

[Rory]

Julius was. Was in there, right? Yeah. Okay. So we never heard the audio or we couldn't see Julius's mouth. Julius might have been screaming, cameras, cameras, cameras the whole time.

[Baby D]

Yeah. No, she didn't. Solange actually did not give a. That night.

[Rory]

Solange thought about the cameras and said, I don't care. Yeah, I don't give a.

[Baby D]

They all knew the cameras there.

[Rory]

So would you let your.

[Peach]

Would you. Would you let your wife. Sister beat you up if you deserved it?

[Baby D]

Would I let my wife's sister beat me up?

[Peach]

Your sister in law a few days.

[Rory]

Okay. Are you considering beat up the way Solange to Jay. That's a beat up in this scenario,

[Baby D]

like swinging on me.

[Rory]

Oh, yeah, that's fine. I wouldn't. Yeah, enjoy. But it wouldn't be like a family deal breaker if I did some. And she just started wild out because she was pissed Off.

[Baby D]

Now if she would have started. Now if she would have started punching me in my face or slapping me.

[Rory]

Well, she was trying in that elevator. She was successful.

[Baby D]

Yeah, she was trying.

[Rory]

She wasn't sitting there going, you know what, Jay? Just body shots today.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I would have had to, like, just hem up and just put her in the corner like, yo, relax. I wouldn't have hit her. I wouldn't have.

[Peach]

If you deserve it, sometimes you gotta eat that if you deserve it.

[Baby D]

No, you're not gonna slap me in my face, though. You ain't my woman.

[Rory]

Okay, well, I would like to see the. The Solange and Jay conversation whenever they resolve that entire thing. Yeah. Or do you think. Or do you think just because.

[Peach]

But that don't get resolved, though. They don't sit down and have a conversation. Beyonce go and fixes it separately between the two, and then they just see each other at a cookout like, yeah, ass nigga. And then get over it.

[Rory]

Some. Some. Yeah. Something tells me Beyonce's family and Jay's family, how they were raised is similar to mine. They may have never even spoke about that.

[Baby D]

They may have it.

[Rory]

Literally.

[Baby D]

They spoke about that. They definitely spoke about it.

[Rory]

Like a one on one. Or did everyone just be like, and we're just. We're gonna avoid this forever?

[Baby D]

They spoke about that. It was tears. They cried. It was. That's his sister.

[Rory]

No, for sure.

[Baby D]

They definitely.

[Rory]

He said that before and after.

[Baby D]

Yeah, they spoke about. That's. That's. That's family. They spoke about it. You know, had their moment. They definitely did not speak about it. They spoke about that.

[Rory]

Plenty of families, a majority of them just move on from those situations.

[Baby D]

Yeah. I mean, but you speak about it. You know what I'm saying? Whether you say, I'm sorry. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was mad at you, and it was like, I know it's fucked up. It's all good. I love you. Whatever. They spoke about it, though. I mean, it didn't have to be a long therapist session, but they spoke about it, addressed it, apologized, and obviously have moved on, so.

[Rory]

Yo, Nikki and Cardi at the Met. Oh, I would love to enjoy a turkey leg.

[Baby D]

We can order some food now. Pull that up.

[Rory]

Like, no, but that full video. Who threw the shoe at Cardi?

[Peach]

Well, Cardi threw her shoe, and then Rob hit Cardi.

[Rory]

Then. Yeah, okay.

[Peach]

That's what it was.

[Rory]

Allegedly. We don't know.

[Baby D]

Yeah, we weren't there. We don't know.

[Rory]

But that's one of my favorite photos. When Cardi got that knot on her forehead, smiling, walking out that Vanity Fair party, like. And.

[Baby D]

And what?

[Peach]

And what? She was so young in her career. Like, when I look back, she was so fresh and new and young in her career. That was like.

[Rory]

And I don't want to take away any of her grind because we watched her whole grind. She wasn't an overnight success, but it. When it hit, it was. You went from the strip club to the Met gala in, like, four months. Yeah. Like, you were still Cardi at that first Met.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You wasn't now the star that you are, that has been through media training. Whether it's real or not. Like, you. You're a different person.

[Baby D]

Yeah, definitely. Yeah.

[Rory]

Cardi was. Cardi was four months out of lust at that point.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Peach]

They throw me into, like, fame. I wouldn't know what the to do. I. I would just stay in the house. I would be afraid of doing everything

[Baby D]

wrong at the Vanity Fair party.

[Peach]

Just at everywhere. Like, I would just be afraid of doing everything wrong if I suddenly became. If I woke up tomorrow and was famous. Oh, my God. God, I will freak the out. That has to be so anxiety, like, driving, like, I'm cool.

[Rory]

Well, what was his name that called in? He's sick. The fact that he said the first thing that came to his mind was OJ stabbing his wife and lover. It was just like that.

[Baby D]

No, but that's what he was.

[Peach]

He was at a dinner where they reenacted, like, crimes.

[Baby D]

Yeah, he didn't.

[Rory]

I thought he was saying he wanted to see O.J. at a dinner and they funny said, Nicole Kidman.

[Baby D]

Yeah, Nicole Simpson. But we got.

[Rory]

Yeah, I hear you.

[Peach]

Nicole Kidman is still alive.

[Rory]

We love her a.

[Baby D]

Have nothing to do with none of that.

[Rory]

Nothing whatsoever.

[Baby D]

She like, whoa. You said me for like.

[Peach]

Yeah, but no. So it's a crime scene dinner where you try to find. Solve the crime and like that. But they reenacted it in front of him while he was eating. That's why he was asking, what scene would y' all want reenacted in front of y'? All?

[Rory]

Well, now I kind of want to go to the Nicole Brown Simpson dinner. What the fuck?

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Peach]

Yeah.

[Rory]

How do you reenact that, though? Yeah. Like, just based off OJ's novel. If I did it just take a script.

[Peach]

You act off the crime scene or what you think the crime scene is?

[Baby D]

It's like people acting it out in front of you.

[Peach]

Like a reenactment.

[Baby D]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Humans are sick.

[Baby D]

Yeah. That's why I don't want to Go to no like that. Cuz somebody like, yo, that. That didn't happen. Like, I'll be that one in the audience. Like that didn't. Didn't happen like that. But OJ's innocent.

[Rory]

But then you think about like those war reenactor people that like go to parks. Like, they'll go to Gettysburg dressed as everything.

[Peach]

It's like weirdos.

[Rory]

Outside of it being weird, it's also just odd that you're reenacting like a war where like the app, like the average age of the. Those people were like 16, believe it or not. Like, like, I know we all view like George Washington is old as. That was like 25 when that was happening. He was like, those were a bunch of kids that all just died on this ground. It's like, you know what? Let's. Let's take our fat asses and dress up in wigs and colonial shit and pretend. Let's reenact this bloody war.

[Baby D]

I am gonna go to that crime. Is it the crime museum?

[Peach]

Crime museum, yeah. Yeah, I'm going to. I'm taking Alexa in June.

[Baby D]

I'm gonna check that out.

[Rory]

Yeah, I think I said it on Patreon or a regular episode. And I hope we can copyright based off our show. Not that I'm probably gonna do this. I wish they had. Like, instead of Escape the Rooms, me and my friends could all get laser guns or paintball guns and y' all set up the Osama bin Laden raid. Like, all of us could just run through. Like, you could reenact that type of. That wouldn't be fun if all y' all could get paintball guns and there's actors playing all the people in certain raids and you could do that or you could redo a bank robbery.

[Baby D]

Bank robbery.

[Rory]

Like, it's off. Like, it's all fun.

[Peach]

I'm with a bank robber.

[Rory]

Like, you can't judge. You like escape the rooms. And I do too, but you can't judge somebody likes Escape the Rooms that also wouldn't want to do like a reenactment of a crime. Yeah, Escape.

[Peach]

The US government is crazy, but I hear you.

[Baby D]

They actually try to like, rob a bank and make it away.

[Rory]

Like, yeah, like you have to successfully try to rob a bank.

[Baby D]

Yeah, I would want to do that.

[Rory]

That would be fun.

[Baby D]

I think I could do it, but

[Peach]

I wanted to be real actors. Like, almost as if like I was in a haunted house.

[Rory]

No, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Like, they would find, I'm sure, a Middle Eastern man from Queens and he would play Osama and, like, he'd be at the top floor the same way the whole happened. And you gotta, like, you gotta figure it out. You gotta go save America. You're not doing that with the. With your friends on a Saturday.

[Baby D]

I'm definitely doing that. Beat the Bomb. It's like a. Like a. Like a. Like a ink pack in. In the money. You gotta, like.

[Rory]

You know how much fun that would be if all of us went and I happen to get to the bomb first, and I have to have the pressure of cutting the blue or red wire, and you guys are screaming in my ear, and if I cut the wrong one, we all get covered in paint.

[Baby D]

That's fine.

[Rory]

Like, that's fun.

[Baby D]

That's some fun. Yeah, I want to make it real fun. Use a real. Use a real bomb now. Now we're really having fun.

[Rory]

Let's actually rob a bank then.

[Baby D]

Now we're really having fun. All right, well, another week. I don't know what y' all doing this weekend, but please be safe. Tamara, stay your ass home.

[Peach]

I will be home all month, baby.

[Rory]

Oh, you could. You saying. Cause that virus coming.

[Baby D]

[Peach]

Peach definitely got the Hand of Montana virus. I don't know.

[Baby D]

Yeah, he been. I don't know what. Peach not the Hanny. He over there going crazy. But we'll talk to y' all soon. Be safe, be blessed. I'm that nigga. He's just Ginger. And Peach needs Ginger. Peace.
