[Rory]

I said Nixon.

[Mo]

Welcome back. Welcome back to the bandwagon, Nixon.

[Rory]

6. I've been saying that.

[Mo]

How you feeling? We haven't seen each other since Monday.

[Rory]

This is rare since game three.

[Mo]

Yeah,

[Rory]

game three was scary. That was scary.

[Damaris]

Terrifying.

[Rory]

That was scary because that. That felt like. Oh, shit, here we go.

[Mo]

Felt like the energy was shifting.

[Jeff T]

Oh.

[Mo]

And it. It finally gave me something to not be a whole venger about. I. I'm. I'm not a stand anymore. I don't want to see Jay Z courtside in the Knicks game.

[Rory]

Why? Why? He's always been.

[Mo]

I remember when you tried to make the Nets a thing. I remember when you tweeted cities under new management. Now I remember in one of the greatest feature verse ever, Nets a stone throw from where I used to sell bricks. So it's only right that I'm tossing around Knicks. Don't be at our fucking arena. Go over to Brooklyn.

[Rory]

Jay has been at Knicks games before the Nets, and.

[Mo]

Well, he said the city's under new management. You can't be the manager at both arenas.

[Rory]

Well, he's not.

[Mo]

Go back to where you manage.

[Rory]

He's not. He's not managing.

[Mo]

The 560 straight is in. That's in Brooklyn, not midtown Manhattan.

[Damaris]

It was. It was business. Business, not personal.

[Mo]

Summer, he had to be seen. Summer, I love ho, but not. I remember when y' all tried to make the Nets a thing, and it was cool. I was never a Nets hater, but it seems like.

[Damaris]

It seems like a little bit, right?

[Mo]

Okay. When KD went to the Nets, I was. Yes. I was hating because I wanted him with the Knicks.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

But, yeah, I'm. I. I mean, it's cool. Like, the Barclays center is cool. Don't get me wrong. Mm. It's. It's like a. It's like a club with the lights on.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

You didn't say that.

[Mo]

It's like. It's like a mix. It's like a networking event when he was doing. It's not a basketball game. It's networking.

[Rory]

It's a mixer.

[Mo]

Yeah. With the lights on.

[Damaris]

He was bragging about doing Dulce Palooza there. Remember that?

[Mo]

Incredible. I've been to a bunch of great concerts at the Barclays. It's cool. That should just be like an event space. Like the basketball court.

[Rory]

Yeah, like the Prudential. Exactly. Okay, Got you.

[Mo]

And Hov could sit courtside at the Doja Cat concert or something.

[Rory]

So you mad that Hov was at a Knicks finals game?

[Mo]

No, I just.

[Rory]

First one in 2017.

[Mo]

Show you like the north remembers. Yeah, like I remember the first Nets Knicks game when the Nets won. And Hov, who had only tweeted once in his entire life, said, city under new management. Now you. Now you want to come back over here?

[Rory]

Yeah, it's crazy. Now you want to come back to the Garden.

[Mo]

Yeah, I don't like that you didn't plant these seeds in the Garden.

[Damaris]

You see?

[Mo]

See?

[Rory]

We are back. Sponsored by Boost Mobile. Unlimited talk, text and data.

[Mo]

Oh, I thought you're gonna take us somewhere from there.

[Rory]

No, no, no, no.

[Damaris]

How y' all feeling? Man, I feel great. I'm stressed out.

[Rory]

The city's on fire. I ain't gonna lie. Hold up, though. Game three, when. When the President was here, I got caught up in a little bit of that, like, trying to get out of the city.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah, that was crazy.

[Mo]

You drove that day, which I thought was brave.

[Rory]

Yeah, it was crazy. But because. Because of where we at, I could just get right on the highway and go home. But I had to go to Midtown and then come back to the office.

[Damaris]

I hate that for you.

[Rory]

So I thought I would have been back here before, like, you started to feel any of that. No, the city was absolutely fucking gridlocked.

[Mo]

Yeah. I mean, as much as the President did put all those fences up and shit. And I tried to tell y' all that Dolan wanted to keep him up. President left the city and they stayed up. They're probably still up right now. Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah. Right.

[Mo]

And the game is going to San Antonio. I'm sure those fences are still there. Dolan is going to keep those up year round.

[Rory]

Did you see Dolan's face last night? Game 4, when the Knicks was going on that run? Nobody hates the Knicks more than Dolan. I have a theory.

[Mo]

He can't stand it.

[Rory]

I have a theory that nobody hates the New York Knicks more than Dolan does. And he owns the team like he didn't show no emo. How could you not be showing any emotion when your team is coming back from a 29 point hold?

[Damaris]

Because he probably bet against him.

[Mo]

I know we laughing, but it is maybe more profitable for Dolan when the Knicks are bad. It doesn't matter because he doesn't have to pay out after this. Contract. He's going to have to pay out some max deals. Like this team deserved the money that they're about to receive.

[Rory]

When you win the finals, you get your money. Your team, your franchise ones, gets a shitload of money.

[Damaris]

No.

[Mo]

And I even understand with TV rights and merchandise, all that. But I'm saying the 25 years that Dolan hasn't really had to pay anybody but Carmelo Anthony, Amari, Stoudemire, they sell out every fucking night.

[Rory]

That's why.

[Mo]

And he doesn't have to pay anyone.

[Rory]

It doesn't matter now.

[Mo]

He's got to have to start paying people.

[Rory]

Yeah, but he gonna have to pay Brunson for sure. You gonna have to cash him out Cat, too. Cash Cat out. The cash cat. Not the cash cow. The cash cat.

[Mo]

Gotta pay that bench after game four.

[Rory]

Gotta pay og. Yeah.

[Damaris]

Shout out. Og.

[Rory]

Og. OG Money is no good in New York. His money's no good here. He could eat anywhere for free for the rest of his life in New York City. He could fucking walk into any store. Just walk out with whatever he wants. His money. Og Your money is no good in New York City no more, bro. That's it. You solidified. You got the greatest poster in Nick history right now. There's no doubt about it. That tipping that put back that layup is the greatest poster in New York. Knick franchise, John Starks. That dunk Jordan wasn't in the. You didn't dunk on Jordan. That shit is out of here. That OG put back greatest post in Nick history.

[Mo]

I was thinking on 34th and 7th, we put the Tippin statue. And then on 33rd and 7th, we do the block. Both OG statues. The block on Fox on 33rd. And then you could walk all the way up the court to 34th. And then you can see the tip in there. Two statues.

[Rory]

What would the Knicks be with our OG man?

[Mo]

The last two years I've said, of course, Brunson is the star, but when OG does good, we do good. Yeah. When OG does bad, we do bad. Brunson's good all the time, so it doesn't change much. OG is the reason, the deciding factor. And Cat, so with his playoffs, Cat for sure. Well, before is og.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

During the season last year, playoffs. If OG shows up, we're fine.

[Rory]

Shout out to Alvarado, too. He had a great game. Queens legend, two huge buckets down. That's a stretch. Yeah.

[Mo]

And that little 360 he did, that was. That was project basketball.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

That's flushing right there.

[Rory]

You learned that in the playground.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Somebody was like, yeah, that's Nycha. That's Nycha.

[Rory]

Course. Yeah. Yeah, you. You learned that.

[Mo]

That's Christ the King practice, right?

[Jeff T]

Yeah.

[Rory]

You learned that. Trying to keep them up off. You go to the OPS park and play. That's how you learn that move right there. Yeah.

[Mo]

Did you watch the post game? Yeah. With him and Cat, and they were so, so surprised that a Puerto Rican would say something nice about a Dominican.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

I just don't think everyone in the.

[Damaris]

They didn't get it.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Outside of New York. New York. Outside. People from outside of New York don't understand that.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

They don't get how much Puerto Ricans and Dominicans always clashing and going at it.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Jose was like, I never expected that from a Dominican to ever say something nice about me.

[Rory]

That was hilarious.

[Mo]

But, yeah, I mean, shout out to the Knicks, man.

[Rory]

One away. One away. All right, now listen, man, if anybody, listen, because we know we, as New Yorkers, we are. We have PTSD for years watching the Knicks. Now, with that being said, the city's on a. On a wave right now. Up three one. Incredible comeback last night. Game four. Largest comeback in finals history. But let's not remember, it's not impossible to come back from being down 3:1. It's not impossible. I'm aware. So let's just. Let's enjoy the moment. But like the great Kobe said, job not done.

[Damaris]

Job not done.

[Rory]

Job not done.

[Mo]

I mean, listen. But you see the difference. You saw how the spurs celebrated when they beat okc. It was like they were about to get a championship parade at that point, without realizing they have to go to the Finals. OG they interviewed after the game and asked him how one of the greatest moments in NBA Finals history that he was a part of, he said, I mean, I'm cool. I think everyone's excited. Yeah, job not done.

[Rory]

Job not done.

[Mo]

No, they not getting excited. He had one of the most iconic plays. It will be. They'll play that in the next hundred years.

[Rory]

When the NBA Finals cemented in history behind that show.

[Mo]

He said, I'm excited. I mean, everyone seems.

[Rory]

Listen, let's just. Let's enjoy the win. But we. They got to get one more. And if anybody knows, I mean, I could just see. I could see the New York Times now if the knicks blow this 31 lead, I could just see the city melting. Like, how the fuck do we blow through? So we enjoy the win. I'm happy for the city. The city is on fire right now. But let's Just remember it's still one more. We need one more. We need one more. Great comeback. Great win last night. The Knicks need one more, though.

[Damaris]

Anybody placing any bets?

[Mo]

We'll get to that. Cause Peej cashed out and bought us all bagels. We'll get to the betting thing in a minute.

[Rory]

Peej. Thank you. Man, Peej really went crazy. He bought.

[Mo]

He's a socialist. He claims to be Republican. He's a socialist.

[Jeff T]

He's a.

[Rory]

Bought six bagel back into the team. Put six bagels on a nice plate. Put it out there, you know, three

[Damaris]

different types of cream cheese.

[Rory]

Type of cream cheese. I think one of those was lox, right? Was. Was it lox and cream cheese?

[Mo]

No, I didn't like that.

[Rory]

You didn't got that money. All right. But he gave us three different cream cheeses.

[Mo]

Maybe he'll get. He'll get there.

[Rory]

Appreciate that, Peach. Thank you for that, man.

[Mo]

But usually I am the pessimistic Knicks fan, not to say that I thought the whole game that we were going to come back, but once we got it within 15, I was like, this is. This is doable if we can keep momentum. Also not knowing that the spurs were going to go from the greatest shooting team I've ever seen in my life to fucking up every single play. The stars did align. We showed up and they fucking flopped. But I'm not the pessimistic Knicks fan I once was with this team. Like, even if we lose on Saturday, I'm just going to be like, all right, well, great. At least we get to get the chip in New York. Yeah, like, that's. I'm actually that confident about that.

[Rory]

I. I said Nixon, 6. I think they lose Game 5. I think they go to San Antonio, lose Game 5, and I think they come back Game 6 winning at the Garden. I think they go outside. I think I could see Brunson and all of them going outside the Garden after it's over, causing mayhem outside the Garden. I can see it now. I said Knicks and six. I feel like the Knicks and six.

[Mo]

Well, either way, this weekend in New York City is going to be fucking May.

[Rory]

It's a lot going on.

[Mo]

Got the World Cup.

[Rory]

Yes, sir.

[Mo]

We have game five. And even though game five is in San Antonio, don't act like everyone's not going to be out in the streets the same way as if it was in New York. Like, it's.

[Rory]

Are they doing the watch parties?

[Mo]

I don't know. Because Dolan and Momdani, like, this is. This is why Sometimes it sucks when you have a market like New York. Everything's going to be politicized. And of course, the president went there, too. But, yes, this is. This has become a political thing with New York, which is fucking annoying. But he proved. He said, hey, we approved the shit. He. Dolan canceled it. Yeah. Went on the fan like.

[Rory]

But. But I understand, because let's just. Let's be real. There are some fans that are just being with. Everybody wants to be on a platform. Platform. Everybody's streaming. Everybody wants to go viral. People are outside the Garden at the wise part. They doing stupid shit.

[Mo]

That's why I don't agree when you say fans. I don't think they're fans. I think they are fans. I think they're the latter. I think just because they have a Knicks jersey on, I think they're using this as an excuse. Of course there's real fans out there.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

But to your point, I do think they're just taking advantage of a moment to do online and to create chaos. Yeah, they just happen to be wearing a Knicks jersey that they wouldn't have been wearing if this moment wasn't happening.

[Damaris]

But that's gonna.

[Mo]

To create chaos.

[Damaris]

That's gonna happen even if you don't have a Watch party. Like, Ryan was outside yesterday running around Madison Square Garden like a lunatic. People climbing on Ryan.

[Rory]

You was running amok.

[Mo]

No, he was chilling.

[Rory]

I was.

[Mo]

You got on top of that cop car after you. After you sent us the video.

[Damaris]

No, but, yeah, they're gonna.

[Mo]

But no. I mean, yeah, fans want to go to the Watch party. I actually think canceling the Watch parties is even worse because those people aren't going to watch the game anyways. They just want to create chaos in the street. Yeah, they're not. They're not mad at the guy at five guys that says he's a Spurs fan and wants to throw chairs. No, they want to throw chairs.

[Rory]

Right.

[Mo]

There's nothing to do with the game. It's just an excuse to do it. We've seen that with protests. We've seen that so many times where people just take a moment just to create chaos. They don't care about what's happening. It's just a chaos shit, which is annoying. Like, even them beating the shit out of that spurs fan. That was corny. Like, what are we doing? That's corny.

[Rory]

So that's why I understand. Don't want to cancel the Watch party if they talk.

[Mo]

No, listen, I've been in my fair share of Jets. Have you ever been to a Jets game, it's mayhem and it's real fans and people start talking shit and fights happen. That's fine. I'm saying, running around with your phone, trying to catch a moment, and you see someone just walk into their car and try to beat them up, that's corny as fuck to me.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

However, I will say that just as many people that are going crazy on the Knicks side, it's also people who are putting on spurs jerseys and going and antagonizing. They want to become a homie. You don't go into a sea of Knicks with a fucking spurs jersey on. You deserve to get your ass whooped.

[Mo]

I'm sorry, separate point. I was talking about that one gentleman that, like, really did get his ass. You could tell he was scared and running away like he wasn't starting shit. I did see that one tiktoker. I don't know who the fuck it was, who was not a Spurs fan and was admittedly put a jersey on so he could try to. Inside.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mo]

No, for sure.

[Damaris]

But even if you are a Spurs fan, I'm not walking around in New York in a Spurs jersey right now. You get what you get. Is it right? No, it's not right. It's not right. It's fucking stupid, though, right?

[Rory]

What are y'. All. What are we doing?

[Damaris]

Like, that's what's going to happen.

[Rory]

What if I'm from San Antonio and my job relocated me to fucking New York? Like, I can't. I was born and raised in Corpus Christi. Like, I can't fucking have on a Tim Duncan throwback.

[Damaris]

Like, hey, babe, you can.

[Rory]

Yeah. Like, it's a risk. Yeah.

[Mo]

It's not.

[Rory]

Right. It is a risk because.

[Damaris]

Right. I'm not.

[Rory]

I grew up knowing how to shoot. So now one of you. You trying to go viral in Manhattan. All right, I got my. I got a license to carry. I got my on me. I could come and try to get a stunt if y' all want to go viral. We could really go viral.

[Mo]

I can promise you. I don't care what license you have to carry. You're not getting a gun in the Madison Square Garden.

[Rory]

No, no, not in.

[Mo]

No, no, no.

[Rory]

Not in the Garden. I'm talking about outside the Garden. Walk into my car.

[Mo]

Maybe in your car.

[Rory]

No, you got. You got to have a license to carry.

[Mo]

In New York, even from Times Square, down is a no gun zone. Even if you can legally carry a gun, they have signs. If you legally can carry a gun, you cannot have it in that area of the city.

[Rory]

What I never knew that I live in Hell's Kitchen.

[Mo]

There's signs. The moment you start walking a little bit more east. Yeah, this is a gun free zone. Even if you have a license, only the cops can carry guns in the middle.

[Rory]

I never knew that.

[Mo]

It's been up that way for a while. So.

[Rory]

Yeah, see, they need to change that. I feel like if everybody had a

[Mo]

too many people to have a gun, I feel like.

[Rory]

But yeah, but it's a lot of major cities where you can carry. I feel like the only reason. Yeah, Only reason why like, that happens to people is because people are probably like, he probably doesn't have anything on him, so let's beat him up. But if you. If you in a city where you like, yo, we all strapped, you not gonna just try people like that. Yeah, I'm just not gonna happen like that.

[Mo]

But with chaos and in a dense place like Times Square, which is probably one of the most dense places in the world, I don't care if you're a sharpshooter, some popping off some bunch of crazy people, somebody is gonna get hit. That does not need to get hit.

[Rory]

I didn't need to get hit. I just got a Duncan jersey on. I didn't need to get hit. I didn't. I was walking to my car.

[Mo]

Like, would you remember 1999? Yeah, there's still some.

[Rory]

I'm just walking to my car. I did not need to get hit. But since y' all want to catch a stunt eye, we all get hit.

[Damaris]

Fine. But when you take your ass to California, you know certain neighborhoods, you don't wear certain hats and you don't wear certain colors. That's different.

[Rory]

We talking about gang banging. That's different.

[Damaris]

Did Nick say the Knicks ain't a

[Rory]

gang

[Mo]

gang out there?

[Rory]

That gang gang is. That's these new little young dummies trying to just go viral and catch a stunt man. That's not real New York. Real Nick fans. Like Rory said, that's not real Nick fans. And the real Nick fans are not outside looking for people to punch in the face because the Knicks won.

[Damaris]

Well, no, they're not looking for people to punch in the face, but when your team is getting slaughtered and you got somebody laughing in your face with a Spurs jersey on.

[Rory]

Ah, yeah, that's part of sports.

[Damaris]

Yeah, exactly. I've been to Giants games and.

[Rory]

Don't touch my body, though. Don't touch me.

[Damaris]

You see, I can laugh, but that's. That's me out.

[Rory]

Can't touch me, though.

[Damaris]

You Can. You can get touched. It's not right, but you can. And I've seen fights break out at the Giants games, at the jets games.

[Mo]

Like, that's New York sports, especially Jets, Giants games are a little more classy. Baltimore Ravens games, Philadelphia Eagles games.

[Damaris]

Like, that's, that's, like, that's that sport. So when I say it's not right, but it's. It is likely to happen. And it's not just a Knicks fan thing that happens. Watch your back. Watch what colors you got on.

[Mo]

And even when. When little Vicky got hit with the. With the egg, I laughed a little

[Rory]

bit, but that was stupid.

[Mo]

I don't agree with that. Same way I don't think people should throw stuff at people when they're performing. I thought everything that happened with Ron Artest and that whole, like, I think all of that is corny when fans do that type of stuff, because I don't think you would do that if you didn't have a crowd around you and could either hide or be protected.

[Damaris]

I don't think they would do that if he wasn't trying to hop on OG's fucking Achilles.

[Mo]

You didn't let me finish my sentence. If it were to happen to any athlete, throw a whole carton of eggs, freeze them, put Nair on them like we used to do in Halloween. Fuck that guy. I said on Monday. I like the spurs team. I can't wait to see their future. They're going to be a staple in the NBA. The more I watch that guy play basketball, the more I hate his smug French fucking face. He plays. He plays dirtier than.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I hate him.

[Mo]

Oh, boy. Who I can't stand. Why am I blanking from the Sixers and be. Yeah, like, at this point, he's bad.

[Damaris]

He's really bad now.

[Mo]

Like, when you're actively out there trying to injure people, not push, fight even. What he did to Brunson should have been a flagrant. Should have been called. But that's not going to end your career if you do that. You actively trying to stomp on someone's acl, get him off the court, like, that's, that's not even playing hard. Or like, oh, it gets a little scrappy. No, you're a cornball.

[Rory]

Oh, you sound like. You sound like these new age sports guys, man. That was. That was a regular play in the 80s and the 90s, man. That was regular.

[Mo]

No, no, no, no, no. In the 90s and we're both scrapping.

[Rory]

That was play on.

[Damaris]

He wasn't even on. Him he was on a completely different player and ran over to try to stomp on his acl, bro. That's crazy.

[Mo]

Don't disguise that as a pick. Like, all right, yeah, the Pistons back in the day. It would get scrappy. Yes. I'm not against crappy.

[Rory]

You would get up.

[Mo]

Okay. You take an elbow. You take.

[Rory]

You want to see highlights of Isaiah Thomas?

[Mo]

Like, people Isaiah Thomas trying to sneakily stomp on someone's ac.

[Rory]

He wasn't sneaking. He was diving at your knees and b.

[Mo]

Grabbing Mitch's legs. Like, to me, that. That's not like, dirty play where, like, oh, the 80s and 90s. It was like that. No, it wasn't. That's cheap. That's. To me, that's, like, real real. He jumping up, you grabbing his legs. That's not. That's not playing hard.

[Rory]

Listen, that's when we got to send in the Germans. What's the guy on the knicks bench? Number 55. He's from Germany, Right? I think the black dude with the ashy lip.

[Mo]

Just send him out there to get. To get a couple.

[Rory]

He's enforcer. You're not playing, bro. You know you're not getting no. We ain't calling no plays for you. Yeah, Ariel, sit Ariel in there.

[Mo]

Well, I mean, we did.

[Damaris]

We did. Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah, but they sent them in there. Yeah, but they sent them in there because Cat was in foul, too.

[Mo]

Of course. Yeah.

[Rory]

Nah, you got to send him in there. Send them in there to go. To take a quick early shower, man.

[Mo]

Go in there, set the tone.

[Rory]

Yeah. Get the flagrant, too, and go to the shower. You know what it is, bro?

[Damaris]

You're not.

[Rory]

We not calling plays for you. Ariel, you know, if you at the scores table to sub in, you got one job and one job only. Knock the out of Wimy. That's it. And then just run straight through the tunnel. Go. Go in the shower. We see you in the back.

[Damaris]

Yeah. No dead ass.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Which is what I figure he got put in for, honestly.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Mo]

Well, I mean, Mitch was gassed at that point. He was really tired, so. Yeah. And Cat couldn't go.

[Rory]

Why was Mitch tired? Mitch ain't even playing like that.

[Mo]

He had. I mean, he was.

[Rory]

The finals. We ain't got time to be tired. You can be tired into something or missing freedom. Yeah, like they following on purpose.

[Damaris]

So. Because they know you at your ass, can't make no free.

[Mo]

They've been doing that Mitch the whole season.

[Damaris]

Yeah. You would think he would, like, learn.

[Mo]

Yeah, like, why don't they make him hit 100 free throws before he leave the gym?

[Rory]

And the funny shit is.

[Mo]

No, it's worse than Shaq. Like, how are you that bad at free throw?

[Rory]

No, no, but the funny shit is Wimby can actually. I mean, Wimby, Mitchell Robinson can actually shoot from three. Yeah, like, there's like.

[Mo]

He can't shoot from the free.

[Rory]

There's like, there's like footage of him like dribbling step back threes like in

[Mo]

the playoffs, but during the season, Mitch would throw some threes.

[Rory]

No, we don't want him to do that in the season, though. I'm talking about this pickup game. Yeah, he. He can shoot, but it's not. That's not. They don't want to see that in the Garden, though.

[Mo]

Well, Wemby is one more flagrant. He should be suspended at this point, but obviously.

[Rory]

Nah, man, let him play, man. Let him.

[Damaris]

So, okay, if it's let him play, then let his ass get egged. It is what it is. You trying to take out one of our star players, the one that we're talking about putting two statues up on you trying to take out one of our star players in the nastiest dirty way. Your ass could get hit with an egg. You're fine.

[Mo]

And Mitch can. You have to flop the way you flopped? That was, that was a love tap. And. Oh, my God. Yeah, but I'm in your head.

[Rory]

That's part of it.

[Damaris]

I mean.

[Mo]

Yeah, no, now an egg is on your face.

[Rory]

Yeah, man, but I mean, that's where

[Damaris]

you put the egg at.

[Mo]

Right here. Right where you pointed.

[Damaris]

Right here.

[Rory]

Yeah, but, you know, I just think it's. It's a fine line when you start talking about. Okay. And fans to throw at players and like.

[Mo]

No, I. I don't think that's dangerous. Well, I mean, especially on the court.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Hotel. I got mixed feeling either way.

[Damaris]

Get better security.

[Rory]

The city's on fire. Peach. The city is on fire. One went away. One went away. Baby D. Baby D, you ain't even really grow up. Struggling with the Knicks, though. Like, you don't remember the struggle years

[Damaris]

because my father was a Knicks fan. I watched him be disappointed year after year after year and time after time. He don't even get excited for the games no more. I ran to his apartment yesterday, jumping up and down. He was just sitting there with his arms crossed. He said, I can't allow myself to get excited.

[Rory]

Yeah, Nick, your real Nick, fans, they know this shit ain't over. This shit is not over. I don't care what the stats say about being a 3:1. Real New Yorkers, real Nick fans, know that this shit is not over.

[Mo]

Game two. I told you, I was standing right in front of the TV like this the whole time this game. I was sitting on my couch like this. Even. Even when OG hit that shot, that

[Damaris]

reboot, I still ain't believe it was over.

[Mo]

I was not one of those people that you saw on Instagram that screamed and ran around the house. I was like, this. This can't be happening.

[Rory]

Like, yeah, not until the last buzz. And the real Nick fans know, man. We don't. You don't celebrate until the game is over. Fuck that. But it is. It is. It is good, a good feeling to be a 3:1, though. So it is. We'll take it.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

The city deserves it, man. I'm happy for. I'm happy for the lifelong New York fans, man. They deserve it.

[Mo]

I mean, Stephen A. Has been a lifelong fan, but New York, he shit on us for a long time.

[Rory]

Oh, he should have known when they got Brunson, of course. Oh, my God.

[Mo]

I admittedly, too, I was like, okay, we really want to spend all that on Jalen Brunson. Like, I like him.

[Rory]

But I keep going back to shout out to my nigga Julius Randle. I asked him about Jalen as soon as he got here. He said, yo, that is the best guard outside of Kobe Bryant that I have ever played with.

[Mo]

That's crazy.

[Rory]

Verbatim. And I was like, word. I knew Jalen Brunson could play, and I liked his game in Dallas. I've seen a couple, you know, he got in, he was backing up, I think Luka. Yeah, you could tell that he could play. He got two national titles. He can play, he can hoop. But nobody thought that he was gonna look like this, though.

[Mo]

I didn't know he'd be so Kyrie esque.

[Rory]

Yeah, this is.

[Mo]

Until three years ago.

[Rory]

Like, this is crazy. But shout out to Brunson, man. He. He's climbing that. He's climbing that chart as the greatest nigga ever. He's. He's. I like, I look. I love what Shaq said. Cause Shaq said Pat Ewing is forever the greatest Nick ever to him. And I kind of feel like that, too, just because the wars and the battles that Pat been through with the Knicks throughout his career. But Brunson is right there for me, man. He's right there. Like last night, coming back in the 36 points. Yeah, he right there, man. He's right there. On my list.

[Mo]

Well, yeah, the city. We got World Cup. We have Game five, and we have the Puerto Rican Day Parade. If we close out on Saturday and the Puerto Rican Day Parade is on Sunday.

[Rory]

Yeah, it's lit. It's lit. It's gonna be Coquito everywhere.

[Mo]

The city might sink.

[Rory]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mo]

Like, I don't know if they can handle all that weight.

[Rory]

Yeah, it's lit. It's lit.

[Mo]

All five boroughs are gonna be on Coquito.

[Rory]

This has the chance to be the greatest summer in New York City history. This could be the greatest summer in New York City history. No.

[Mo]

And don't let Fab drop a soul tape.

[Rory]

Oh, my God.

[Damaris]

Yeah. Yo, Fab, where the you at, dog? You podcast

[Rory]

how many OG Bars you think Fab could come up with?

[Mo]

God.

[Rory]

Oh, my God. He can flip OG he can flip OG at least 37 times. Like, yo, Fat, what you doing, bro? What you doing, man? We need a. So we need a soul tape. We need a. We need a summertime shootout.

[Damaris]

We need a Nick.

[Rory]

I don't even need a soul take. Give us a summertime shootout this year. Give us a summertime shootout. Yeah, because there's gonna be shootouts anyway. I don't think y' all prepared for that part of it. Once the Knicks win this thing, like, somebody's gonna die. Like, we know that.

[Mo]

It's too many people in one place

[Rory]

speaking into an existence. I'm from New York.

[Mo]

It's.

[Rory]

I know what happens when they lose. When they win, shit, it's gonna be bodies dropping. Believe that.

[Mo]

Did you watch Wu Tang performance?

[Rory]

I did.

[Mo]

I wish. I mean, I understand it's still the finals. Basketball. They have to have the commentary at halftime. But I was happy they put it on the Internet, at least so I could watch it. Yeah, it was good to see Wu Tang together, man.

[Rory]

Hell, yeah. That's New York shit.

[Mo]

And they was right. Right behind the hoop, too.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

I saw Jalen Brunson take a full dive into rza, and then RZA apologized. Yeah, said rza. You was sitting there.

[Rory]

Yeah. Nah, my bad. I'm in your way. Yeah, I'm in your way, bro. You doing your thing. Like, I'm in way.

[Mo]

Like, he was in his assignment.

[Rory]

Yeah, I'm in your way. My bad. I'm in your way.

[Mo]

No, he really slews, yo. I'm sorry.

[Rory]

Yeah. Nas had on Tim's. It was 84 degrees yesterday with celeb

[Damaris]

Row, like, at the Knicks games. Who's your favorite, like, celebrity Nick fan

[Mo]

this season and all time I mean, of all time. It's. It's Spike. Like it doesn't even. Yeah, it doesn't even compare. But I do with Ben Stiller. Just because I. I've watched the Knicks my entire life and we've sucked my entire life and I've never seen Ben Stiller really miss that many games. Yeah, like he deserves this. Timothy deserves this. Even though he's younger.

[Rory]

Yeah, Timothy don't know. He don't know the struggle.

[Damaris]

Not. Not.

[Mo]

He does.

[Rory]

Like how he's 21 years old.

[Mo]

Yeah. All 21 years of his life we've sucked.

[Rory]

How old is Timothy Chalamet?

[Mo]

He's 96.

[Rory]

He's 30. Same shit.

[Damaris]

It's not.

[Rory]

21 to 30 is the same.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

Covid was how many years ago?

[Damaris]

So you. 52.

[Mo]

But his whole life. Whole life, they've. They've sucked.

[Damaris]

Yeah, exactly. But he's been a Nick fan his entire life since he was a kid.

[Rory]

Like you don't. But he don't know the wars though. Like he don't know.

[Mo]

No, it's even worse. He only knows struggle.

[Rory]

No, he doesn't even know what it's

[Mo]

like to get to a war, you know?

[Damaris]

Exactly. So like, you know how hard it is to be a fan of a team and they've sucked your entire life. You never saw the high. You only saw the low. This is your first high.

[Mo]

He only knows the disappointment of. Oh, we got Melo. This is our time. And it fail. Oh, we got Stoudemire fail. Like he only knows that.

[Rory]

Yeah, you got to be. You got to be 30. You got to be.

[Mo]

David Lee was probably his hero.

[Damaris]

He been a knicks fan for 25 years. That's.

[Rory]

I think you deserve Ah, since 9, 11. That don't count. We can't count that.

[Mo]

We never lost.

[Rory]

He just got here. Yeah, he just got here. If you wasn't. If you wasn't in the Garden when the towers was up. I don't want to hear from you right now.

[Damaris]

That's.

[Rory]

This is not your time. This is not your time. You wasn't there for Derek Harper cuz

[Mo]

you're a Lakers fan. I don't even hear this right now,

[Rory]

but I'm a New Yorker though. I went through the struggles with the city. My whole family is. Nick switched up and went to LA N. I was. I. I was. I was a Lakers fan when I was a kid. I was. It was magic in Jordan for me.

[Jeff T]

Okay.

[Mo]

Yeah, well, me and Timothy, we've only been Knicks fans and nothing else. Even when your man tried to make the nets a thing. We stayed solid and stayed in Garden.

[Rory]

Timothy don't count, man. He don't count. He just got here. He just got here. You gotta talk to the Adam Sandlers, the Chris Rocks. You gotta talk to those guys, the

[Mo]

Ben Stillers, Larry David.

[Rory]

You know what I mean?

[Mo]

I thought they came.

[Rory]

Larry David.

[Mo]

I thought they killed Larry David. When Hart missed that layup, bro, he

[Damaris]

looked like he had a heart attack.

[Rory]

Yeah, yeah. Hey, Josh Hart, let me tell you something, bro. You owe Wemby and de' Aaron Fox dinner. Every time you bump into them at a restaurant, you pick up the tab.

[Mo]

Nah.

[Rory]

Cause that blow layup, you missed. And you know what's funny? When he stole it, I said, he gotta dunk this shit. And I know he was thinking it. And then he realized he didn't get the lift that he needed. So he's like, let me lay this shit up, bro. Josh Hart, if you. If. If Wemby don't miss them two free throws and de' Aaron Fox don't not dribble the ball out, because that's all he had to do was dribble the clock out. Josh Hart, you would have had to move. I'm gonna tell you right now, if nobody else told you, you would have to move out of New York City.

[Damaris]

I know. He gonna wake up, like, in a cold sweat just like, thinking about that.

[Rory]

Yeah, he would have to. Josh Hart, you'd have to. And I like Josh Hart, but you'd have to get out of here.

[Mo]

No, but that's one of those. Like, he shouldn't even. Fox is going to be thinking about that for the rest of his life because it had a real effect. Hart went from maybe one of the craziest blown layups to something that we're never going to talk about again.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

So he's fine. And he had one of the best defensive. He held Castle to two points and the two points for free throws and made the turnover. When he stepped out of bound, Hart made up for everything that could have cost us the game. But let's not do that to Josh Hart. That was one of the craziest defensive games. He shut down their best guard.

[Rory]

You know what I like, but you know what I like?

[Mo]

When they were lights out.

[Rory]

You know what I love most about that missed layup, though? I don't know if y' all caught it. When it came down, when he missed the layup and the spurs came back, and I think that's when Wimby got fouled the next Play, right. I love what Jalen Brunson did. He went to Josh Hart. He looked at him, grabbed him off the floor. Like, don't worry about it. Like. Cause he could tell, like, that was in his mind. Like, fuck. It's like Jalen Brunson went up to him like, yo, it's cool. Lock it, don't trip. That's what Alita does. Because he. Everybody on the team. Everybody in the. Bernard King. I don't think Bernard King has ever cursed. Probably like, he seems like a well spoken. Bernard King was based on, like, motherfucker. He missed that. Like, he can't believe he missed his fucking layup.

[Mo]

Larry David has a show called Curb. Yeah, your enthusiasm.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Meaning Larry shows no real emotion. Doesn't it? Excited for anything. His whole stick is not doing that.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

He nearly died.

[Rory]

Yeah, that was.

[Damaris]

I left the living room, I went into the kitchen and just stared out the window.

[Rory]

I said, that was the most Nick ever right there.

[Damaris]

That was some Nick ass.

[Rory]

That's some Nick ass.

[Damaris]

That was some Nick ass right there.

[Rory]

All we gonna see is that miss layup for the next 30 years.

[Mo]

But no, if that really affected us, then that would be a typical Knicks move because usually those things happen and then we just fail. Yeah. We have a new version of what Knicks do. We come back from this and we win. Let's stay positive.

[Damaris]

Making Cassell step out of bounds and not following him with all of that, like, energy and emotion that he was going through at that moment was amazing. I'd have never been able to do that. Like, to lock in and do that.

[Mo]

Yeah. And the last defensive play, I'll just say like, mo, I'm sure your sister has sent you videos of your nephew. And like, you just look at your phone smiling, like, I know. Like, you know, just look at your phone.

[Damaris]

Oh, he's so cute.

[Mo]

Yeah, I do that with a marge. I'll just sit and just watch videos tomorrow. I'll smile. This morning when I was rewatching highlights, I'm not. Like, I really had the same feeling. It was weird. I was just smiling at my phone. Just rewatching the last 10 minutes.

[Rory]

Yeah, the city. The city felt a little different this morning. Right? Everybody smiling, random people high fiving each other. You know when they got to spray the sidewalk in front of the deli? Like, they stop when you walk so they don't spray you now. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's like shit like that happening in the city where it's like, all right, we, We. It's a little bit of camaraderie. We're all together. We're all New Yorkers right now.

[Damaris]

A little girl told me, Nixon 5 today, she had to be like 6 years old.

[Rory]

Nixon 5.

[Damaris]

She was like, Nixon 5. Like the first thing this morning.

[Rory]

I was like, Nixon. That's all she heard in her house last night. Yeah. Nixon 5 mo.

[Mo]

Do you remember the only other thing that ever unified New Yorkers?

[Rory]

Yeah. 911. Exactly.

[Mo]

It's only been 911 in this.

[Rory]

Never forget, never forget. 9, 11. The game. Game. War. New York is such a crazy place, man. This is such a crazy.

[Mo]

Not even Yankees or Mets, World Series has brought anyone together because the Yankees,

[Rory]

we used to win it, you know that. But like, for the Knicks to be one win away from a championship. Yeah, man, it's just. The city is just on a different. It's on a different high right now.

[Mo]

Yeah, but before we get off sports, going into game five. Listen, man, OG Finals MVP odds are plus 300 on Hard Rock bet right now. That's a good bet. That's a good bet. Damn.

[Damaris]

They're gonna give it to Jalen, which I don't. Whatever.

[Mo]

But I. I like the OG plus 300 bet. I like Cat for the first two games as far as finals MVP. But even in the loss, OG played the best in game 3, and we lost game 4. Clearly we know what time it is. Yeah, I think OG has the momentum right now to be the MVP plus 300. That's a. That's a good, good Hard rock bet.

[Rory]

What? OG's averaging 23 points, 24 points, 4 rebounds shooting. 58 from the field. 50, 50, 56 from the three. What's Jalen averaging in the finals?

[Mo]

Yeah, but even. All right, I hear you on the stats per se too. But you have to put the intangibles of the moments that these things happen. Like even Jose. Yeah. His stats do not match how important he was to last night's game.

[Rory]

Nah. Brunson averaging 30, bro. You averaging 30 points, five rebounds and five assists as a point guard. You the fucking Finals MVP. That tip, that layup, OG layup is cemented in history. But averaging 35 rebounds and five assists as a point guard in the finals, you Finals MVP.

[Mo]

Brooks. Well, on the final results, it's minus 550 for the Knicks, plus 400 for the spurs at this point right now. I know your man's is a little nervous, but shout out to our guy, Peach. Knicks were down 15.

[Rory]

Shouts to Peach.

[Mo]

No.

[Damaris]

25 when he made that bet.

[Mo]

Oh, they were down 25. He went to Hard Rock. Bet put $100 down and he. He came out with a thousand dollars. That's why we all got bagels. Shout out to Hard Rock.

[Rory]

Shout out to Hard Rock. Bagels. Hard Rock. Bagels.

[Mo]

Peach flipped 100 into a thousand.

[Rory]

I'm saying Peach, but nice little come up.

[Mo]

Where's your man's at with his bet? I mean, how's he feeling? Did you speak to him last night?

[Rory]

I spoke to him last night, man. And he. He's. He's yelling spurs and seven. I mean, at this point, he has to. What you gonna do? He's a New Yorker. And the funny shit is he has the Knicks logo tatted on him.

[Mo]

Okay?

[Rory]

So he's just torn right now. Like he put a bed in.

[Mo]

What's his cash out if this Spursman?

[Rory]

298.

[Mo]

Okay. I. I am a die hard Knicks fan. I would probably even get them tattooing. I don't love them as much as

[Rory]

Brunson is not paying your mortgage.

[Mo]

I may not love them as much as I love $300,000.

[Rory]

That's what I'm saying. Brunson ain't paying your mortgage. He's not paying your. So I understand.

[Mo]

I would be screaming, spurs in seven, two.

[Rory]

It's tough, man. You place. You place the bet on the spurs in December for them to win it all, and then they happen to run into your hometown team. It's just like, fuck yeah. You know what I mean?

[Mo]

But I'd still be rooting for the spurs, though.

[Rory]

Oh, no.

[Mo]

Without, Without.

[Rory]

Listen, he's yelling spurs and seven.

[Mo]

Do you know what the payout is now? Like, if he just.

[Rory]

No, I didn't even ask. I don't even want to. Like, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm just like, bro, like, just. He letting it ride, man. Like, it. It is what it is.

[Mo]

We were talking, Mike. I don't know. The temptation to cash out after Dispers won game three would be a temptation for me.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Looking.

[Rory]

Looking now. You would, right? But like, if they.

[Mo]

Even then, like, I know they had momentum, but I don't know. You're still at the Garden. The game with Trump was distractions. A lot of weird shit. I still would be.

[Rory]

Listen, you feel like you got a good bet. Halftime game four, you feel like your bet is secure. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like you like, all right, cool. We going back to San Antonio? Two. Two. We good? Yeah. And then the bottom fell out that motherfucker. Three one it is.

[Mo]

And what do we have? The last segment, we said we had Castle and Brunson, right? As far as final mvp, I had.

[Rory]

I had Castle. Obviously it was new Wimby, but I said I would go Castle. And then I think we landed on Brunson and Cat.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

I mean, I thought Castle was a great pick up until. Up until last night. I mean, it was like, yeah, he's falling out.

[Rory]

But I didn't know Jalen was averaging 30, though. That changes everything. You averaging 30 as a point guard in the finals. You're gonna win finals mvp, bro. That's a fact.

[Mo]

Give it to the team.

[Rory]

That sounds good, but that's going home with me. No, it's ours. But it's going to be my. Whenever y' all want to come look at it, come to my crib. It's right there in the living room. Don't trip. Yeah, Brunson deserves that. Without a doubt. Love, OG One of the greatest shots in Nick history. But my bet for Finals mvp, I'm going Jalen Brunson.

[Damaris]

No worrying now.

[Rory]

Paris or la? For what?

[Mo]

Jay Z announced that he's doing a show September 10th in Paris and October 23rd at Sophie Stadium.

[Damaris]

Oh, Mal said.

[Mo]

Oh, that Paris one might.

[Damaris]

In Paris. Well, one of the. In Paris. That's fire.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's gonna be hard. September 10th.

[Mo]

Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't go to LA just for. For a concert. And I still just expect to la. It's just. I don't know. I've been to LA a thousand times. Paris, though, for. For Jay Z show.

[Damaris]

That.

[Mo]

That would probably be a cool week. Yeah. To be out.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

September 10th. That. That gives enough time too. I could. I could save some money. Amara got into a great school. That's cheaper than the daycare she goes to right now.

[Rory]

Dope.

[Mo]

So September, I'm gonna have a little bit more money.

[Rory]

Yeah. Paris, you feeling like Paris?

[Mo]

Yeah, yeah. I'm saving money come September.

[Rory]

Yeah, that might be them. You might have to see that. We might have to see the streets of Paris for that one.

[Mo]

I still. The idea we have. And this is copywritten for any other podcast out there. I mail it to myself already, which makes it a binding copyright.

[Rory]

It just sounds like we shouldn't say that.

[Mo]

I still want a pod from London to Paris on the train.

[Rory]

Oh, okay.

[Mo]

Yeah, I think that would. We had that idea when we were looking into doing live shows in Paris, but it made more sense to do the two in London. That would be fun.

[Rory]

That would live stream.

[Mo]

That might be live streaming, then. Yeah, just put it out. Yeah, that would be fun.

[Damaris]

I'm down.

[Mo]

I've never been to Paris either, so.

[Damaris]

I've never been to Europe, so.

[Rory]

Yeah. Jay flirting with a world tour. He flirting with it. I don't think. He just don't want that workload because it's a lot obviously traveling like that, but.

[Mo]

Yeah. Do you do that without a new album? I mean, I know, like, rock stars do that, that are, you know, aging and legacy acts. It's not weird. But I don't know.

[Rory]

Does Jay do that without a new album?

[Mo]

Because I feel like he would have just maybe announced that. The Jay Z 30 shit for a bunch of dates. I like the spot date thing, too. I like what Kanye does that, too. I like making. They make a moment out of one thing instead of just a big tour where it's like you just hit in every single city. Cause I even think that gives fans cool. If you're a huge Kanye fan and he announces a Mexico City show a month in advance, you got time to plan, like, oh, I could do a vacation. I get my one week off of work. You can make an experience around that instead of, oh, he's coming to Tampa that night. Let's see if I can go. Yeah, Like, I like making moments out of that.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

So.

[Rory]

And everybody from. From London, I'm sure, is going to go down to Paris for that show.

[Mo]

Well, I mean, all of Europe is like the Northeast. It's like going From Philly to D.C. to Baltimore, back up to New York to Boston. It's. It's like the same thing.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's fire.

[Mo]

Because at Yankee Stadium, I'm sure Everybody from Washington, D.C. up is going to be there as well, not just going to be New York.

[Rory]

No. Hell no.

[Mo]

But I know. I think. I think that that could be a cool show. And Paris, he's gonna make a thing. I think Beyonce comes out in Paris. I don't think she comes out in la, but why not? I just. I think he. I think he'll just make moments of certain shows. I just think Beyonce would get the Paris one.

[Damaris]

They love Paris. That's like their thing as a couple. So.

[Rory]

They love la. They live there.

[Mo]

She could just stay home. She don't really gotta come out.

[Rory]

Yeah, we're gonna stream it. You know what I mean? Just stay in the house. It's all good.

[Damaris]

Have you. Speaking of France, have you guys ran into any of the Taurus World cup tourists yet? Like, have you.

[Mo]

No, I haven't yet. Thank God. Oh, and we can. We can on Wimby out there, too, after we win the chip.

[Rory]

I don't know if you want to. On him in his backyard.

[Damaris]

No, literally lay his jersey down and take a. On it.

[Rory]

Yeah. I don't know if you want to do that in Paris, though.

[Damaris]

What they going to do, they ain't going to do.

[Mo]

Okay, don't say that.

[Rory]

She don't know Paris. You think Paris is all tea and crumpus.

[Mo]

Yeah, right.

[Rory]

She don't know she'll get an issue in Paris. She don't know that.

[Mo]

Pray for Paris.

[Rory]

She don't know she'll get her issue of Paris. That's.

[Mo]

No, all Americans go to London and Paris and think everything's sweet.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

They turn one corner like, wait, what the am I?

[Rory]

And they play with. They play with machetes out there. Yeah, yeah.

[Mo]

We went to that festival in London.

[Rory]

Yeah. You don't.

[Mo]

Those grounds are outside.

[Rory]

Yeah. Now, baby, you don't know. It's all good.

[Mo]

But what were you saying about French people?

[Damaris]

No, I was. No, I was just talking about as far as the World cup and all of the that are coming here.

[Mo]

No, I haven't. Thank God. But I mean, it starts tomorrow, right? Two days. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure because I'm in Jersey, commute to the city every day. I'm. It's going to be inevitable that I'm going to run into both sides. I'm not looking forward to it.

[Damaris]

That's going to be hell, bro.

[Rory]

I don't want to see. No, it started today, right?

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Did Mexico win?

[Mo]

Well, the game just started as we're recording this, but yes, it'll be Mexico and South Africa.

[Rory]

Yep.

[Mo]

It'll be crazy here over the weekend as well. And. But tomorrow or if you're listening to this today, I'm going to the, the NAS FIFA kickoff. No pun intended.

[Rory]

Fire.

[Mo]

That should be fun.

[Rory]

Yeah. Hell yeah.

[Mo]

Yeah, I'm excited for that for sure. And you know, I've never been in. In the tennis thing before. Never in my life. Yeah, I'm like excited.

[Rory]

It's in Queens, right?

[Mo]

Yeah, it's.

[Rory]

But where. You know where they do the Citi Field? No, no, it's not, it's not far from Citi Field.

[Damaris]

No, no, it's in the corner.

[Mo]

It's in the same area, but you know, like where they do. What's, what's the tennis thing? You notice? Come on, what's it called?

[Rory]

The US Open.

[Mo]

US Open. Thank you. Yeah, I've never been in. Yeah, wasn't it the Archer at one point? Now it's.

[Damaris]

No, it's Arthur Ash still.

[Rory]

Oh, no.

[Mo]

Billy Jean King National Tennessee. Yeah, no, it's not the Archer ATH anymore.

[Rory]

The whole Archer F. It's not the Arthur F. Who's that? Aiden Ross. What did you just say?

[Mo]

Forest Hills legend? Yes.

[Damaris]

Oh, Louis Armstrong Stadium. So we're all wrong.

[Mo]

Okay, well, either way, I've never been in that stadium before, so that'll be cool. But should we go into some rap?

[Rory]

I mean, you know me, anytime we go into rap, I get in trouble. So let's keep. Let's. Who will be the traditional? Oh, let's keep it going. See if I go viral with this one.

[Damaris]

Oh, one could only hope.

[Mo]

I mean, I. Fat Joe's also one of my favorite celebrities. That's courtside for sure. Yeah, he's been. He's been there forever. I loved him during Wemby's missed shots doing this.

[Rory]

Yeah, Fat Joe's is definitely a die hard New York fan.

[Mo]

And I, I give. I give him a lot of credit for the restraint he has. Because I can tell Fat Joe wants to run on that court every other play. Like he stops himself every single time. Yeah, but on Joe and Jada, they were talking about apologizing to Khaled. You know more about this than me. I didn't fully see exactly what was going on.

[Rory]

So Jadakiss has spoke about, you know, when Iceman came out, he was saying how much that Drake has every right to diss Khaled in the. Was it make them pay? Which I was confused about. Cause I didn't look at it like it was a diss. I didn't think Drake dissed Khaled. He did, but how was that a diss? How's him saying the beef was fully live? You went halal and got on your dean.

[Mo]

Still waiting for a free.

[Rory]

People are still waiting for a free Palestine. And everything is in black and white and red and green. How is that a dissatisfaction? Where's the disrespect in that?

[Damaris]

Not every dis is disrespect.

[Rory]

That don't even make sense. Right there.

[Damaris]

Every dish you've ever heard has been disrespectful.

[Rory]

What?

[Damaris]

Every dish.

[Rory]

This means disrespectful?

[Damaris]

Sure. I'm sure that's where the words stem from. But you're saying that everything in rap that has been considered a diss has been disrespectful. Every single thing.

[Rory]

So tell me something else that was a dis but wasn't disrespectful.

[Damaris]

Obviously, we're sitting here on a mic. I can't think of it.

[Rory]

Right, so back to what I was saying. Khaled, that was not a diss. I don't think Khaled felt like he was dissed. I felt like Khaled was addressed. I feel like it was addressed. You know, Drake addressed his stance on Khaled and where he stands with Khaled and his thoughts on Khaled, but he didn't disrespect Khaled by saying, your people are still waiting for a free Palestine. That's not disrespectful.

[Mo]

If him and Khaled were in a good place, which they have been for most of their careers, would Drake say

[Rory]

this if they were in a good space? Yeah. No. Okay.

[Mo]

So that's why, to me, it's a dis.

[Rory]

But no. Just because you're not in a good space don't mean you have to have a disrespect towards somebody. Like, we just not. You could be in and not in a good space with somebody and just be like, nah, I'm not with him. But you don't. You're not disrespecting them.

[Damaris]

He was being funny. You were being funny by mentioning Free Palestine. Because if you just wanted.

[Rory]

He wasn't being funny at all.

[Damaris]

If you just wanted to tell people where you were. When I say being funny, it means, like, you bought that up. That had nothing to do with nothing. If you just wanted to tell people where you were with Khaled, you can just tell people where you were with Khaled. You don't have to bring up what Khaled is or is not doing and what he's being Critiqued for by the public.

[Rory]

But the whole point of it was Khaled is self serving. You want to say you got two Drake records, but when I was going through what I was going through, I thought you was a friend. You never hit me to even check on me. You never hit me. But then you're going to try to announce that you got two Drake records.

[Damaris]

He has every right to feel that way for sure.

[Rory]

So it's not disrespect, it's. No, you're self serving. You're selfish. You only care about Khaled. And I'm not jacking that. But that doesn't mean I'm disrespecting you. I'm letting you know, like yo fam, when it was lit, when it was on it popping, you was nowhere to be found. Then you pop out with I got two Drakes.

[Mo]

So you're. So you're saying, all right, the truth isn't disrespect is what you're saying?

[Rory]

No.

[Mo]

Okay, so then how you've talked about past disrecords, specifically, like with Jay, you've said there used to be a time when disses were. It was all truth. Like you had to have a fact in everything that you were saying. That's what made a diss record was when you were given facts. Not all the messy shit that it's become now or who can make up the craziest lie? When it was facts, you were still calling them a diss. Cause it is still a diss. You're in a back and forth with somebody and just because you're saying something truthful and add a little tone to it, you're still dissing them.

[Rory]

Let me ask you something. Did hov disrespect Drake in that roots freestyle?

[Mo]

No.

[Damaris]

No.

[Rory]

So what's the difference here?

[Mo]

I didn't, but I didn't. I don't.

[Damaris]

But people still consider that.

[Rory]

He replied, that's not a diss. That's what we got to stop acting like. Just because you addressing somebody on a record doesn't mean you're disrespecting them.

[Mo]

You know, words are not always definition. Things change and evolve with the times of what goes on. Like when. When hov put prodigies when his, his mother owned or grandmother owned the dance studio on Jamaica Ave. And put the pamphlet up there of him dressed like Michael Jackson. Did Prodigy in fact dress like Michael Jackson and was in that pamphlet? Yeah, that was looked at as a dis. It's become a thing. I'll Put you on the Summer Jam screen. But it was became a phrase, but

[Rory]

it looked, it was looked at a disc. Because at that time Jay and, and

[Mo]

Prodigy were beefing and Khaled and Drake are not beefing.

[Rory]

They're not exactly. So that's why they're not disrespect. They're not beefing. It's not, it's not, it's not that they don't like each other. I'm sure Drake still likes Khaled, but he's just letting him know, I'm not fucking with you right now because you're self serving. And when I was going through what I was going through, you didn't check. I thought you was a friend. I thought you was all of these things that we probably talked about over the years, I looked at you as a friend, as a brother.

[Mo]

I just think we're. I'm going through what, I'm going through the whole thing.

[Rory]

No, but it's not. People are saying it's disrespect. I don't understand why Kiss even feel like he has to apologize for that.

[Mo]

Well, didn't Kiss even say in the clip, I don't know why I'm apologizing for something that I'm not sorry for.

[Rory]

Yeah, because it's like I could like a song and like, okay, you got a bar in there. But it wasn't a disrespectful bar. He was just letting it be known like, yo Khed.

[Mo]

Like, no, I don't think Drake is wrong for what he said.

[Rory]

I'm just saying that I'm understanding people that think that's thinking that Drake discharged is what I don't understand. It's like just because a rapper says somebody else's name in a song doesn't mean that they're dissing and says something

[Damaris]

unfavorable about them saying that.

[Rory]

That's not a disrespect though. That's not. That's what I'm saying. That's not disrespect.

[Damaris]

Disrespect is up into the eye of the beholder. Khaled could feel disrespected. And if Khaled feels disrespected, then it's disrespect. It's not up for us to decide. It's not up for us to decide what is or isn't disrespectful.

[Rory]

That's not how that works.

[Damaris]

If you saying, if you're saying to me like, you, you're self serving, you're this A lot of people will say, you telling me that I'm self serving and that I'm selfish is disrespect. Because if I don't feel like I'm that way and my family doesn't feel like I'm disrespectful.

[Rory]

If somebody says you're self serving, that's them disrespecting you.

[Damaris]

If you feel like you're a kid, if you feel like you're not and

[Rory]

like you're not, even if you feel like you're not, that's not disrespecting you.

[Mo]

You.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

Even if you feel like you're not self serving, that's. That's not somebody disrespecting you.

[Damaris]

Like, if you value being a giving person as a part of your character and somebody tells you that you're self serving, you would view it as disrespect. Somebody coming to me and telling me that I'm a selfish bitch would I don't even. Not even using the word bitch.

[Rory]

Not even using the word bitch. That's different.

[Damaris]

Coming to me and saying that I'm a selfish person and I only think of myself knowing that I'm that type of. That not that type of person, I would feel disrespectful.

[Rory]

If somebody in the workplace says, yo da marriage. You're selfish, that's them disrespecting you.

[Damaris]

If I feel like I'm not, hell no.

[Rory]

That's not disrespectful, man.

[Damaris]

What are we talking about? I don't say that it's disrespectful.

[Rory]

That's not. If one of your co workers says damaris, I'm not. I'm be honest with you. I feel like that was selfish of you. That's them disrespecting you. Dre said you went fully live, the beef was fully lit, you went halal and got on your dean.

[Mo]

That's a great part.

[Rory]

And your people are still waiting for a free Palestine, but everything is in black and white and red. Where is the disrespect in that?

[Damaris]

You basically just compete. What he did was. And like I said again, I'm not saying Drake is wrong for this, but saying not only did you abandon me, you also abandoned your motherfucking people when they needed you the most and didn't speak out for them. I'm sorry, I'm not surprised of that as disrespect.

[Rory]

How is that disrespectful?

[Mo]

I agree with Drake and I said that on this podcast.

[Rory]

Everybody agrees with Drake.

[Damaris]

But that it does not mean that somebody can't take it as disrespectful.

[Rory]

You can know you could take things however you want to take them. That don't mean that it's a fact. That's what I'm saying. You could take somebody in the workplace calling you selfish any way you want to take it. If I'm the fucking head of HR and you come to me and be like, yo, yo, so and so disrespecting me, I'm like, what happened? They called me selfish. I would look at you like, yo, go back to your desk, man. That's not disrespecting you. Your co workers say, yo, I feel like you're selfish. That's not disrespecting you.

[Damaris]

Okay?

[Rory]

Get out of my office and go back to work.

[Damaris]

And on top of that, you're putting a light on something that Khaled has been hiding from for a long time.

[Rory]

What you hiding from?

[Damaris]

People have been critiquing.

[Rory]

Yeah. That's the point. We calling you out. Calling somebody out is not disrespect.

[Mo]

But you wouldn't. You wouldn't have done it.

[Damaris]

Exactly. That could be you don't give a

[Rory]

fuck about what was happening. You mentioned it before also. And you also would have not. Not hit me up when I was going through what I was going through if he wasn't cool.

[Mo]

That's why I said, he's not wrong.

[Damaris]

No, he's not wrong.

[Rory]

Right. So I'm just saying, where does disrespect come into play? Like, that's all I'm saying. With Kiss saying he felt like he wanted to apologize because he or Khaled got mad at him.

[Damaris]

Kitchen had to apologize. That's it.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Kissing. Gotta apologize for that, man. Like, that's Drake. Then Disney just. He just spoke about, like, how he felt about Khaled right now. Like, I'm not feeling you. I'm not feeling the way you move through that whole thing. But it doesn't have to. It doesn't mean he's disrespecting Khaled.

[Damaris]

It.

[Rory]

That's my only thing I'm saying. Like, you can address somebody and something that somebody did and not be disrespecting them. I don't think that just because you address somebody and what they did means that you're disrespecting them. I just don't believe that.

[Damaris]

Drake is very calculated at the end of the day. He knew how much flack Kelly got for that. It was bought up to point A finger of. Oh, yeah, and you doing this. He knew he was. Cal was going to get even more flack for that. The Free Palestine don't have nothing to do with what Cali did for Drake. You did that because you knew the repercussions of it. There was a reason that he did

[Mo]

that because, yeah, he did that on purpose.

[Rory]

He's calling out Khaled's self serving ways. That's what he did. How was that disrespectful? You're self serving, bro. But how, how do I expect you to speak and speak on my behalf and check on me when you won't even speak on your people's behalf? That's not disrespectful.

[Mo]

Okay, look, I said the same thing on the podcast about Colin in that regard.

[Rory]

Yeah, that's not disrespectful. Like I just.

[Damaris]

Not disrespectful. But it can be considered a diss. If Khaled want. If Khaled was a rapper and wanted to come back with a. And wanted to come back with a reply, nobody would look at Khaled like, he was slow for that.

[Rory]

No, people would look at him like, yo, like, you, you reaching. That don't warrant a response. Call that, man. That's the type of response that warrants

[Mo]

like, damn, Fat Joe, extending the olive branch to you.

[Rory]

To me, he did.

[Mo]

I'm gonna say, whoever was down with Drake, I say this out of love. I'm reaching out as the big brother and say, let's fix it. I'm extending my hand to end this Drake and Khaled situation. You and Fat Joe can end it,

[Rory]

but there is no Drake and Khaled situation. It's all volume. There is no. There is no Drake and Khaled situation, though. Drake just let it be known how he feels about the way Khaled moved through that whole thing.

[Mo]

Do you think they could ever be friends again?

[Rory]

Yeah, absolutely. That's. Cause it's not disrespect. There's no disrespect. He's just letting it be known. Like, yo, you know, bro, you just, you, you vanish. Usually you on my phone. Anytime you need something, you on my line. The moment I'm going through some and the world calling me some crazy nasty, I don't hear from you. But then you pop out saying you got two Drake features.

[Damaris]

Yes.

[Rory]

No, you don't. Wow.

[Mo]

No, I agree. Yeah, like, completely understand.

[Rory]

Where's the disrespect that, like, I don't think that.

[Damaris]

That.

[Rory]

I think it's disrespectful what Khaled did. If we. If we want to talk about disrespect, I'm looking at you as a friend, and I done did songs with you for however many years, got your. Your albums lit.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

And then I'm going through something and don't hear from you. I think that's disrespectful.

[Damaris]

Yeah, for sure.

[Rory]

But I don't think what Drake did and calling that out is disrespectful. Nah. Like, come on, man. We all men here. Like, it's okay to call out when your man. They say, yo, that was whack. I don't like what you did. That's not. If my. If I do some whack shit and my man called me out on it, I don't look at my man like he disrespected me for that.

[Damaris]

It's. But okay, right? I don't know whether this is just the entertainment world because I'm not a rapper. So I don't know if I feel like somebody is my friend and they do some weird shit and you call

[Rory]

them out on it.

[Damaris]

The first time I address them or call them out on it won't be on a song. It'll be on their phone. Nah, nigga, you don't got no Drake features. You ain't call me. I feel this way. This, this, this, this and that. If that's really my man. Not in my industry, friend. My man.

[Rory]

But clearly you're not really my man. Because when I'm going through, I'm going,

[Mo]

you ain't hit my line if you didn't hit me. And then, then you post on your Instagram for sure. No, I'm not call way, I'mma do

[Rory]

exactly what I did.

[Damaris]

But then you not my man.

[Mo]

I'mma comment and say, must be Drake Bell. And then I'm going leave it at that.

[Rory]

Exactly.

[Damaris]

You not. Then you not my man. And that's just that.

[Rory]

No, that's. That don't mean that. That don't mean that. That don't mean that.

[Damaris]

If somebody's my man's. The first time I address them, whether they. Whether. No matter how they address me, no matter how. Cuz their character and how. How they move don't determine how the I move. If you are really my man, the first time I address you is not going to be on a song. Them is not really friends the same way. Cal.

[Rory]

Right. If you my man and I'm going to stream and you don't call me, but then you pop out on social media talking about, you got two Drakes. I'm responding on social media to let the world know. No, you do not have social media.

[Damaris]

Fine. But the first time I, I, I'm

[Mo]

not gonna address Khaled said the word Drake after that whole thing was on Instagram.

[Damaris]

Yeah, I know. They not friends. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying Drake's wrong. I'm saying they're not friends.

[Rory]

Well, I think, I think Drake thought at one point they were friends.

[Damaris]

I'm sure, I'm sure he did.

[Mo]

We've all gotten that lesson in this business. I was, I was green to some of that before, too, of assuming someone's your friend.

[Rory]

He's like, hell, yeah, I was green to that.

[Mo]

Y. Yeah, that happens.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

I would never fault anyone for be like, how did you not know? It's the music business. Not. Sometimes you feel like that's your friend.

[Rory]

Sometimes you feel like that's your man. Sometimes you're like, that's my homie. Sometimes you feel like, nah. Like we different. We not from we not on no industry friends. Like, yeah. And then you find out like, oh, only I felt that way. I was being used. Or this person is selfish.

[Mo]

One party felt that way when it was beneficial.

[Rory]

Right. Which is I'm being used. And you know, Roy, it's up when you realize you're being used by somebody. That's a up feeling.

[Mo]

And even not only. There's a softer side of that, too. That's not even betrayal. Like, I've talked about this too, with certain people in Palooza. I never had a. A fallout with them, per se, but once Palooza ended, I realized that was the only reason we were really.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Cool. And we're cool. Like, I have no issue like this.

[Rory]

That's totally fine. Yeah, that is totally fine.

[Mo]

That was the main reason why we spoke every day. And once that reason's gone, that's it. Not really much.

[Rory]

We don't have nothing in common. We don't. Sometimes something keeps you in, you know, communication with people. Once that thing is no longer there, like I said, I stopped smoking. You know, the amount of people I don't talk to and don't see no more, just something sick. Something simple, like, I don't smoke weed no more. There's certain people that I don't see. There's certain people that I. That I don't speak to. It ain't beef. It's just like, oh, that was the thing.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

That was kind of keeping us you know. Yeah. In communication once I no longer do that same. I used to go to the club a lot once I stopped partying. It's certain people out I've never seen again in my life. It's not disrespect. It's not like if I see them right now walking the machine, I'm like, yo, what's up? How you been, man? Like, we haven't spoken in 10, 15 years. There's no disrespect, but our lives just don't. We not on that same accord no more. And that's fine. But sometimes you find out, oh shit. In this relationship I was being used.

[Mo]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rory]

I am no longer available for use. You have used all of your unlimited talk and data when it comes to.

[Mo]

This is not a 25 unlimited plan.

[Rory]

This is not a boost mobile unlimited plan. I am not a boost mobile unlimited. No, you don't get that from me no more. And that's what that was for, Drake. Letting it be known. Like, oh, you're self serving, you don't. If it doesn't benefit you, you don't care about it. And that.

[Mo]

But again, that happens too in every aspect of life. Even on the opposite. Like, there's friends I've had from high school or college. That again, no beef, no fallout. We just went in different paths. Now we both have kids.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

And now it's like, let's get the kids. Now we talk more.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

It's a different relationship now because we have something in common where on weekends we can do the kid thing. And we don't talk about kid shit all the time. Like we'll talk about the Knicks. Like, have. We still had that friendship but we didn't really have a reason to continue to keep speaking because we were going in different paths.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

But now our paths have led us to something else we have in common. Yeah. Which is kids. And now I'm closer with them than some people. I was in my 20s. Like that's just kind of how life works.

[Rory]

Right.

[Mo]

There does need to be some common thing there at some point when you get to become an adult. Like not everything is just childhood. Like, oh, we're just living.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

No, there needs to be some commonality that exists there.

[Rory]

Hey, kiss. We fuck with you, man. I don't think you had to apologize. I mean that's honorable, you know, because obviously you got a relationship with Khaled and you said you only met Drake once so, you know, you not picking sides. But I don't think an apology was needed. And I love Fat Joe for extending the olive branch to try to get Khaled and Drake, you know, back in communication and back, you know, on a better term for what. I mean.

[Damaris]

I mean, I understand why Fat Joe might want to do it, but I understand why Fat Joe might want to do it, but what do they need to be? It's like when some just, like Rory said, some friendships end. It was great. We got some great moments out of it. It'll never be the same, right?

[Rory]

Oh, no, it'll never be the same.

[Damaris]

So there's no point.

[Rory]

I think that we all can, you know, Iceman is out. It's available now. We've all heard it. It's a lot of relationships that are no longer, you know, mendable. And we won't be seeing. Yeah, we won't be seeing that again.

[Mo]

But sometimes that's good, too. And I mean, this is gonna sound. Sound kind of gay, but this is what you find out, like, when you're an adult. I'm sure Drake has had a realization because he's had people, like 40 Chubbs, well, future, all, like, people that he. He grew up with around him for so long, but he also had all these other industry friends. He's probably not that he didn't value those friends because he clearly raps about them all the time, too. He probably realizes that I don't need to be around that frugal. I have my core group of friends the whole time.

[Jeff T]

Right.

[Mo]

Why would I, like, nano, need to mend with Khaled, right? Like, what? Cool is done. We don't need to do this. I have my friends here that have always been here.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Yes, Khaled, you came in the circle. I have industry associates and relationships that have become friends as well that I value. But if they did fall apart for a reason I disagree with, I have my core friends. Like, I wouldn't lose too much sleep over the entire thing. At this point. When you have that realization, like, oh, this was an industry thing.

[Damaris]

Once somebody leaves your life and you're living and you like, oh, I'm, like, surviving. What else? I don't miss this person. This hasn't affected my day to day. Like, you're like, oh, I actually didn't need you. You were actually kind of, like, in the way. And I'm not even just talking about, like, Drake and Callous specifically, but just overall, like, sometimes because somebody has the label of friend, and we're taught to hold on to friends so tightly, when something happens and, like, a friend disappears, it's like Oh, I actually like, just kind of been like chilling. Like. Like when you lose a shirt and you like, oh, damn, I ain't even missed that shirt.

[Mo]

Like friends, business friends that you do business with. Yeah. Some of it is friendly extortion. And sometimes you already know that them leaving, nothing's going to change. If anything's gonna change, it's gonna change for the better.

[Jeff T]

Right.

[Mo]

And you've just been holding onto something that because that's a friend, you can be friendly extorted to just stay around.

[Rory]

And friendly extortion is the real thing.

[Mo]

I've lost friends where shit changed. Like, shifted my life drastically. I had to pivot. Like things happened. I've also lost friends where nothing changed.

[Damaris]

Nothing changed.

[Mo]

Literally the day was the exact same as y.

[Rory]

It'll. It'll always be.

[Mo]

And it sucks cuz that's your friend. But like, everything changed and then when

[Damaris]

they try to come back, it's like, oh, baby dog, I don't even like, miss you. Like, your life was affected by my absence, not the other way around.

[Rory]

I'm okay, but it sound. That sounded very specific. Baby, do you got something you want to talk about on this platform?

[Damaris]

No. Because that means that people would be

[Rory]

important and they're not.

[Damaris]

No, I know.

[Rory]

Like, put your head behind your ear.

[Damaris]

Yeah. When you know. When you know your value, it's like, oh, you miss me? I don't miss you. So we knew who was really.

[Rory]

Pop it, baby. Pop it. Pop your. Like, don't be on today. Yeah, pop your.

[Damaris]

These are Jeffrey Campbell. They're like blood.

[Rory]

That's who. Jeffrey who?

[Damaris]

Jeffrey Campbell.

[Mo]

I got them on.

[Rory]

I thought those was P card in.

[Damaris]

I mean P card in N. These are Jeffrey Campbell.

[Rory]

I got them on the Nordstrom.

[Damaris]

It was great. They're so cute.

[Rory]

On your first date.

[Mo]

First date.

[Damaris]

First date.

[Rory]

Yeah. He bought you those on the first date. He going. He going. Be around for a while. He.

[Mo]

No wonder you've been singing that Young Miami song.

[Damaris]

Where are my damn ass at?

[Mo]

He bought those with a Nordstrom gift card.

[Daniel Cormier]

Hard.

[Rory]

He kept saying, try this one.

[Mo]

Wait, give it 30 minutes.

[Damaris]

30 minutes.

[Mo]

30 minutes. I just gotta turn it on.

[Rory]

Try this one. Try this. Yeah.

[Damaris]

If y' all thinking I would be anywhere in the. Like that funny.

[Rory]

Yeah, pop your.

[Damaris]

Yo, when cars don't be hitting. If a go to pay for something. He got too many cards automatically I'm cool. That's our last date. Yeah, you got too many cards. I said, that's our last not.

[Rory]

They'll be knocking at your door Asking you questions.

[Damaris]

Yeah, snatching my. Snatch my. So fast off my feet, the pain will come off my toe.

[Rory]

Yeah, you. You was down with it.

[Mo]

You the baby or you want the labor pain? You don't got to see how he get it. You got it.

[Rory]

Yeah, you got it. Cool.

[Mo]

We in there. It may take two different Macy's cards,

[Damaris]

but took a girl shopping on the first day before.

[Rory]

No, the. I have it on the first day shopping.

[Damaris]

What if it. Okay, so what if the date was a weekend? Cuz to be fair, the date was a whole weekend, so it was technically the second date because it was the second day of the first weekend.

[Rory]

What shopping, though?

[Damaris]

Shopping. I got some stuff from skims. I got some stuff from Nordstrom.

[Mo]

Was I already going to the first day or did you like, ask me on the second day, like, hey, I want to go shopping.

[Damaris]

We were in the area and I said, I want to go to skims. And then we went to Nordstrom to get him something. And obviously I got something too.

[Mo]

If you and I were spending the weekend together and on the second day, you want to stop at skims, I probably wouldn't let you pay for the skin. Yeah, but I don't know if I'm. I wouldn't take you shopping, if that makes sense.

[Rory]

I remember I went. I went to. I was with this girl and I went to the store. I was like, I had to go get some shit. And naturally, you know, if a girl's with you and like, you in the fucking A store, it's like, man, I'm not gonna. Just like, I look crazy. I'm here shopping.

[Mo]

Yeah.

[Rory]

Burning it down for myself. And like, she just walking next to me. No bags, like. So I said, yo, you want something? You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, get something. Like, it's all good. She went and found them. Renee's didn't. She went straight to the Renee's. I was like, she tried. So, you know, I didn't even see.

[Damaris]

I did it.

[Rory]

She was over there sitting down, trying them on, what to do. And I'm. Those is fire, right? She had a good pedicure. Nice feet. I'm like, those look good on you.

[Mo]

Shouldn't have said that because now you have to. Oh, that's your. That's your way of committing to buying them?

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Damaris]

Bet your ass. Wish you were scamming then.

[Rory]

No, it was cool. I had it. But it was just like.

[Damaris]

You don't hear my boy.

[Rory]

He had what I had it.

[Damaris]

But talking on these bikes, he had

[Rory]

it for the Renee, I had it, but it was just like, the way she went about it. I was like. Like, you gonna go straight to Renee's. You went right past them DK and Wise.

[Mo]

The DK and Wise is crazy.

[Rory]

You went right past them DK and Wise, didn't you? The dkny, they had the whole. You went right past the product. It was mad before the Renee's. It was mad. She laid out in Nordstrom before the Renee. She went straight to the Renee's. I just looked at her. I just had to laugh. Like, you know what? You kept her around for a little while. We was cool. Like, it's still, like, walked out of

[Mo]

your life with those on.

[Rory]

Probably. Yeah.

[Mo]

It's crazy.

[Rory]

She probably definitely been on a few dates with those. No, the shoes was fire. But it was just, like, I looked at her, I just had to laugh a little bit. Like, all right, she got that off. You walk straight to the Renee section.

[Damaris]

Fire. As she should. As she fucking should.

[Rory]

It is what it is.

[Mo]

But, no, I'm never taking a girl shopping on the first date.

[Rory]

Not the first date. No, you can't do that. We could go get, you know, some dinner and all of that. Something to eat.

[Mo]

Cause then I feel like you just putting.

[Rory]

I gotta know how you get some head before I take you shopping on the first date.

[Damaris]

Sorry.

[Mo]

Zip is happy Juice ball.

[Damaris]

Zip is waving like ratona in my face.

[Rory]

Yo, Zip, don't come. Listen, because last week you left out of here. You was looking bopped. I only. I was. I had to. I was gonna call you to make sure you got home safe. Yeah, you was over there. So, so twisted. Here you come with the rag on your head. Yeah. No, you was twisted.

Patreon.com New Rory.

[Rory]

Mo.

[Mo]

Yeah, I'll get that. You up there. But no, I just feel like I don't mind spending money on a girl, but I feel like you just. You put yourself in the trick category.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

You can't do, like, you come out the gate that way. He's gonna look at you like you're a trick. You're that guy.

[Rory]

You're a lick sick.

So hype. You got a product that you could

[Mo]

really use because a lot of beard oils and beer products I've used like dried out my hair and my skin so I got flakes on my shirt. I look nuts. No woman wants to, you know, put her fingers through my beard. The softener has, has changed everything. It works perfectly on my face.

[Rory]

Used to, remember you should put lotion, you used to put regular body lotion in your bed for those days.

[Mo]

100. I thought coconut oil was going to do it. And I go out, get a sunburn, couldn't even walk around. But no basking. Lather has been great for me.

Yeah, but they're like the boxer briefs. I don't have on a Fenty. I don't have a fenty thong.

[Damaris]

Why you coming out, Rocky? He was advertising his wife's song.

[Rory]

Yeah, I don't think that's a support. I don't think Rihanna need that.

[Damaris]

Why you say it like that?

[Rory]

Rihanna don't need that look, though. That's not the look. No, no, no, no, no.

[Mo]

He's doing pretty good with advertising.

[Rory]

Yeah. Like, even without that, if Rocky didn't do that, like, Fenty would be just fine, I promise you. Just.

[Damaris]

It was how he was sagging, so, like, we could see, like, the thong.

[Rory]

I don't know if that was a thong, though.

[Mo]

What do you think it was?

[Rory]

I think that was a hell of

[Mo]

a. I feel like it was some cool underwear. You don't know about.

[Rory]

No, I feel like that was the band from the mic pack from.

[Damaris]

So where was his draws, then?

[Rory]

Maybe he was free ball.

[Mo]

And a mic pack usually is, like, in the back and wired up to the back to your earpiece. It's a thong, man. It's asap, Rocky.

[Rory]

I'm.

[Mo]

Listen, let your freak frag fly. Whatever the freak frag.

[Rory]

I can't speak.

[Damaris]

He can't even say it right.

[Rory]

It's the teeth, bro. It's the teeth. Your S's. Yeah.

[Mo]

Does this surprise y'? All, that asap, Rocky wear them?

[Damaris]

No.

[Rory]

Yes. It surprises me.

[Mo]

I did. This scene's right on point. And I have no shout out to Rocky. I just, you know, I want the

[Damaris]

type of cult following that Rocky has where everybody is like, oh, my God, like, who cares about Rocky? But, like, everybody cares about Rocky. Like, I want that type of cult following.

[Mo]

You think they're all gonna wear thongs in the next show?

[Damaris]

Probably,

[Rory]

yeah. That's. I don't know, man. I'm. I'm going. I'm gonna go out and say that those. That's not a thong.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Mo]

So in. I don't think that's the old Kappa days, which I'm not, like, fully proud of. In retrospect. It was a little immature. We would do a red thong discount for parties. That was a thing across the country with Kappas. Red thong discount for women. I know. I think it's nasty now. At the time, it was. It was a cool discount.

[Rory]

What was it? What was the discount?

[Mo]

Not for. Not for Kappas to wear red thongs. For women to get in the park.

[Damaris]

So if women were partying.

[Mo]

Yeah, that's why I think. That's why I feel weird about it.

[Rory]

You on your way to the park?

[Mo]

Well, I never did the. I never worked the door. That's very.

[Damaris]

That's a very college thing.

[Rory]

You're gonna be at the podium soon. No worries.

[Mo]

But I didn't. I wouldn't even work the door.

[Rory]

No, I know. I know you didn't work the door, but you were there.

[Mo]

And anytime we made noob juice or any of that, it never had that shit. Noob juice.

[Rory]

Red thong. Yeah. The podium is on the way.

[Mo]

Crimson and cream was our chat.

[Rory]

GPT your speech. I'm aware of a turtleneck. You already got the glasses. Wear turtleneck. I am a different man. I am so sorry. Don't even do that for any women that I have.

[Damaris]

He can' denounced, though, because he white. And if you denounce from a black sorority as a white man, they going to tear your ass up. I mean, fraternity. They going to tear your ass.

[Mo]

I wasn't wearing the red, though.

[Damaris]

Were you?

[Mo]

I definitely was.

[Damaris]

Get down.

[Mo]

I have never worn a thong in my entire life, let alone a red thong. But with that said, I think Rocky could take that marketing tool for this tour and maybe do, like, a thong discount with the fellas to get into the show.

[Rory]

Like, he can make this not a whole song, bro.

[Damaris]

Okay, I don't. You don't want to believe it because you support Rocky, but.

[Rory]

No, I just don't. I just don't think Rocky is wearing a thong to his show. I just don't think he's doing that.

[Mo]

You see that?

[Rory]

Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Where's the thong? And that?

[Mo]

And that's in between his ass.

[Rory]

Nah, but. Nah, man. Y' all tripping, bro.

[Mo]

What's the Kanye line? The G string up top, two bee stings. That's Rocky right there.

[Corey]

There.

[Mo]

Swallow up a G string up top.

[Rory]

Yo. I'm just, like, wearing the thong around the homies while you dress like that is crazy. That's why I. That's not a thong. We just seen some type of malfunction. The pants is. I don't know. It's something.

[Mo]

They ripped right there. And just a perfect.

[Rory]

It's some. I don't know. I don't know what type of jeans those are. What type of pants? I don't know. Rocky, you know, Rocky be he more into fashion than I am. I don't know know what type of jeans those are.

[Mo]

No. Kia wore the Same thing to Coachella when we went.

[Rory]

Yeah, I. I don't know, man. I just. I don't think that's a thong.

[Damaris]

Okay, we can agree to disagree. Rocky, let us know, please.

[Rory]

Has he not. He hasn't responded yet. I'm sure he's seen this.

[Mo]

Why would ASAP Rocky have to reply to 100 people on Twitter saying wearing a thong? Rocky doesn't need to reply to that

[Rory]

to reply and be like, either, yeah, this is go get that new Fenty or nah. And show, like, the real pants and what it is. Like,

[Mo]

I think it's sicker.

[Rory]

Y' all think Rocky had that on the jock strap? Nah, Rocky ain't had that on. He ain't had that on.

[Mo]

Mike Tyson had it on. On Netflix.

[Rory]

He was ready to fight.

[Mo]

You can leave this episode right now and go watch.

[Rory]

Yeah, but that was to have underneath his boxing. His. His boxing shorts. Like, Rocky was just at the show with the homies.

[Mo]

Like, both physical activities.

[Rory]

Yeah. N. Performing ain't that physical. Like, you can put on some boxer briefs, fam.

[Damaris]

Do we have voicemails?

[Rory]

Do we have voicemails? You've got mail.

[Corey]

What's up, pa? This is Corey from Jersey. I have a relationship question. Maybe Damaris can help me with it because women brain work a little different. What's up, Pac? This is Corey from Jersey. I have a relationship question. Maybe Damaris can help me with it, because women brain work a little different. How do you properly ask your partner for space when y' all live together?

[Jeff T]

So

[Corey]

we've been together for about four years, and we lived together for three months, almost four. She dedicates a lot of time to just being around me, and it's like, yo, I can't, fam. Like, you gotta. You gotta figure something out, dog. Cause I can't have you just always around me, bro. Like, it's getting to the point where I just go do random shit, like, run random errands now. So just. And sometimes I just sit in my car on the opposite side of the parking lot just to have space. So I don't know how to properly ask her without hurting her feelings or, like, making it seem like she's a bird. But it's like I like my space as much as I like being around her. And it's getting to the point where, like, I don't talk a lot, so she'll just ask me, like, random ass questions. Like, she'll see me taking my laundry back to the car, and she'll be like, hey, you want to do laundry? Like, don't be asking me rhetorical questions, because first of all, I'm gonna act like I don't hear you. So I'm gonna say, huh? Because my brain is processing. Like, yo, did you really just ask me that? Or, like, are you drinking soda? Had to. I'll have a soda bottle in my hand. I'd just be looking like, yo, you. Come on, yo, what you doing? But, yeah, if y' all can help me with that. I really like her, but I just. I can't deal with all this personal space.

[Rory]

Corey, you don't like that girl. Cut it out. Don't end with y'.

[Mo]

All.

[Rory]

I really like it. No, you don't.

[Damaris]

I think he likes her.

[Rory]

He don't like that girl. When you like somebody, all of that. None of that annoys you. None of that annoys you.

[Damaris]

When you're living with someone day in and day out and they up your ass. Like, no matter how much you love somebody, you need space from them for sure. So if you're annoyed, he's annoyed because she's. She's like all. He can't breathe. Like, you can love someone and still be annoyed by the fact that they're always all over you all the time. What I will tell you, since you

[Rory]

asked for advice so he can talk to his other.

[Damaris]

I don't think that that's true.

[Colin Coward]

All right.

[Rory]

I'm a man.

[Mo]

I'm telling you, from Jersey, would never.

[Damaris]

What I will tell you is this. You do need to talk to her about it, because y' all live together well. So number one, that's going to fade. Y' all said. You said y' all been together for four years. Y' all only been living together for, like, four months. That's going to fade. She's just in, like, this new honeymoon phase of, oh, my God, live together, and it's just, like, fun. And she wants to be all over you. That will eventually fade, and you gonna be upset when it fades, by the way, but it will eventually fade. It's just still new. Four months is still new. That's number one. Number two, you need to tell her. But the way that I have always told people to talk to me and my partners to talk to me is you do have to start with love. Hey, I love you. I want to be with you. I'm so happy that you live here. I love being around you.

[Rory]

Don't work.

[Damaris]

But in order for me to. In order for me to continue to live with. In order for this to last, because I do want it to last. We are going to have to be able to live in the same house and have space from each other. You don't have to be up underneath me all of the time. I don't want you to get tired of me. I don't want to get tired of you. So I am going to need a certain amount of time throughout the day. So let's make a schedule or whatever. Like, okay, we watch TV together at night. We do breakfast in the morning, but we have our time to ourselves. But you do need to lead with love and assurance that I do want this. I do want you here, and I do love you, you. But this is the only way that this is going to last long term. I think that that's the. That would be the best way to go about it if it was my

[Rory]

partner talking to me, Go get a job.

[Damaris]

I'm sure they have a job. But that's even more.

[Rory]

She don't sound like she got a job.

[Jeff T]

No.

[Damaris]

It's even more annoying when y' all both have jobs and then y' all come home and you've just been with people all day. Like how we are here talking all day and then have to go home and also talk to somebody. That's annoying, as they probably both do have jobs. But when she gets off of work, she wants to unwind with her partner. He wants to unwind alone. Different living styles. You just have to.

[Rory]

He don't like that girl, man, if I'm at work all day with you niggas and I got something soft and pretty at the house, I can't wait to get home and talk to her.

[Mo]

And that's why I want to go back to Damaris Point. Number one of her being in the honeymoon stage. So happy to being, like, living together. It'll fade. She's right there. But if he doesn't feel that too, it's not going to get better for him.

[Rory]

No.

[Mo]

If out the gate he already feels this way, he should have a honeymoon phase right now. He should be super excited that I'm living with my girl. Like Mal just said. Said, can't wait to leave work and go home. I finally live with my girl. We don't have to do this commute. Like, this is great. This is what I wanted. If you don't feel that way right away, by would you say month four, it'll start to fade. He's gonna hate her at month four.

[Damaris]

I just.

[Mo]

He should also feel the honeymoon, too, right now.

[Damaris]

But I also. What I. What I will say, being your friend and knowing how you are and how you operate.

[Mo]

I've lived with two women and dating.

[Damaris]

I tend to date men who act like him completely different. You like somebody up your ass 24

[Mo]

7, but I'm also only child that likes to be you.

[Damaris]

Like you like to be. You like to have your moments alone, but you do like for your very physical touch base. Like you like having someone up your ass. Some people are not like that. And they can love you and want to live with you and be happy that you're there, but they want you there. Not like you don't have to talk to them. Like I've had partners who want to want me there around them all the time, but they don't want me talking all the time. Like he said, she's acting. You going to do laundry? You going to. That gets annoying after a while. Just sit there and we could be together certain silent.

[Rory]

See, that's not. That's the difference. That right there is a problem to me. You going to do laundry. Why you ain't doing my laundry?

[Mo]

I didn't think of it that way. I was gonna do a whole separate point. I didn't even think about that.

[Rory]

You see what I'm saying, Rory? Yeah, like, that's why he really mad. I shouldn't be doing my laundry.

[Mo]

And why is dinner not ready when I get up?

[Damaris]

Why? Why should she be doing your laundry?

[Rory]

Because it sound like she ain't got nothing else to do. And ask me what I'm doing drinking a soda. You drinking a soda? Yes, I'm drinking the soda so that I could get the away from your ass. That's why I'm drinking a soda so that I could get the get away from you.

[Damaris]

You see what podcast you called into?

[Rory]

I'm just. I'm just saying, like if I got a girl and we live together, I am not doing my laundry. What are we talking about here?

[Damaris]

Why should she be doing your laundry?

[Rory]

Why you my lady?

[Mo]

You paying all the bills?

[Damaris]

Are you? Are you paying? Yeah. Okay, but no, because that paying all the bills. No, that paying all the bills kills me. And here's why. If we both work full time jobs, but you just pay all the bills. We both work in the same on hours.

[Rory]

Yeah, but just as tired as you are. So I'm gonna do my laundry.

[Damaris]

Mortgage, we'll split these bills.

[Rory]

All right, so let's put the bills in. I could. I love doing laundry. I'm a clean freak. I could do laundry clean. I could do all that. Okay, now if we. If I'm doing all of that. Yeah. Let's put these bills then. Okay, let's put these bills.

[Damaris]

I only believe in when we labor.

[Rory]

We're gonna split all this right down the middle.

[Damaris]

If I'm not working just because I'm working, and if I'm working eight hours a day, and you working eight hours a day, but you pay all the bills. But I now have more manual labor, so now I'm exhausted. You pay more money, but I'm exhausted because I'm doing housewife work and working at the same time. That girl don't work until you can retire me. Me until you can retire me so that I do not have to.

[Rory]

But y' all said women say that. And then y' all the retired y'. All. Y. I still got to come home and do my laundry. Oh, yeah, Y' all in the mirror tik toking all day.

[Mo]

Yeah. And then y' all say weird. Like myself in this relationship, doom scrolling,

[Rory]

doom scrolling all day. And I got to come home and my hamper still full. Yeah, you retire, you don't work. I pay all the bills, come home, work, stove cold as a motherfucker, but chick fil A on the counter.

[Mo]

That's so matter of fact, I don't even know why you speaking.

[Damaris]

Oh, damn.

[Mo]

Or voting.

[Rory]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Pete's like, yeah,

[Rory]

that girl don't work. That's why he frustrated.

[Damaris]

Cause it's like, you right winging mall.

[Rory]

You don't do nothing. I come home and you right here, nothing, doing nothing. You've been home all day. Now I gotta come do laundry.

[Damaris]

I don't like that you're putting that on her. Because I think that they're too normal working blue collar Americans. They both.

[Rory]

I don't think she works.

[Damaris]

Why do you think that she doesn't work?

[Rory]

It don't sound like blue collar.

[Mo]

What do you think she work at the factory? Construction,

[Rory]

blue collar out of here

[Damaris]

at normal people. They're both working. Like they sound like.

[Rory]

They don't sound like this girl works. It sounds like she's home all day. It sounds like she's home all day and she has nothing going on.

[Damaris]

Why? I don't know how it sounds like that. He's saying that she's bothering him him when he's home. He's not saying she's at home texting him all day while he's at work. He's saying when they're both home, she's up his ass.

[Rory]

I just think it's crazy for you to have a girl, your girl live with you and you got to go home and do your own laundry.

[Mo]

That wasn't even part of the voicemail though.

[Rory]

Yes it was.

[Damaris]

No it wasn't.

[Rory]

He said he had. He was doing his laundry like you doing your laundry. That's what he said.

[Damaris]

He don't have a problem doing his laundry.

[Mo]

He has said he was even trying to find chores and to run mind you.

[Rory]

She probably willing to do the laundry. Not a hand before full hamper full

[Mo]

and he can't wait for that hamper to be full. He's probably pouring out milk in in.

[Damaris]

He said he coming up just so

[Mo]

he could go get some.

[Damaris]

He, he said he's coming up with errands to do cuz she.

[Rory]

He don't like that girl.

[Damaris]

I don't.

[Mo]

Oh no, that's. No, that's where I'm at.

[Rory]

And he do not like that girl.

[Mo]

I'm saying if he.

[Rory]

Because when you like your girl you love when she up under you like Come on baby, come on. You want to run some errands with me? I've gotten to the women love nothing more than to sit passing if somebody

[Damaris]

up your ass 247 because she don't have a job.

[Rory]

That's what, that's what I'm thinking. She don't have a job because she up his ass all day. Day.

[Damaris]

Okay.

[Rory]

She know that girl don't work. She don't work.

[Mo]

I'm just saying as someone that has lived for a woman for more than four years. At one point when I started to do the just fake I need to go run errands. Yes. Co had something to do with it as well because I just hated being in the house. But when that was four years after living together. If you feel this way on day

[Rory]

four, you don't like that girl.

[Mo]

You don't like that girl. Because this is normal for any man in a long term relationship. This is marriage what he's talking about.

[Rory]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mo]

Men sit in the driveway, men find things just to get out the house. Men start golfing, they've never golfed before. They just want to leave for 12 hours on a Saturday. They find hobbies just to get away from the fucking house. Which is normal. Women should do it too. There's nothing wrong with it. But on day four you feel like month four.

[Damaris]

It's not day four.

[Rory]

Month four, that's day four.

[Damaris]

That's. No, it's all right.

[Rory]

Month four is day four.

[Damaris]

I feel him because if this was happening to me I would feel the same way. No matter how much I love you, no matter how Much. I love you.

[Rory]

You.

[Damaris]

I need you to not talk to me every single time we're in the same room together. I need you to sometimes just shut up and be silent. I need you to. Sometimes we just talk to.

[Rory]

We could be in the same house and not speaking to each other.

[Damaris]

And I think that's what he wants. He's just saying. She's always like, babe, what are you doing? What are you doing?

[Rory]

What are you doing?

[Damaris]

It has nothing to do with him liking her. You need. You need a break.

[Mo]

Original point of maul and I saying he does not like that girl because the same way you brought up an example. And you know me, I do like when my girl is. Is on top of me this and that. But I'm also an only child and like my separate time. But I tend to try to work. I work out with women that we can be silent together. Yes, I like her right there next to me. We know how to just shut up. And that's why it works out. He doesn't like this girl because that's not the girl for him. He needs the girl that knows that everything is fine if we both are just dead quiet looking at our phones or watching tv.

[Damaris]

I think he needs.

[Mo]

He needs that type of girl. He doesn't like this type of girl.

[Damaris]

I think that he just needs to talk to her about it. And if you talk to her about it and she gets upset, she's unable to do that, then, no, that's not the girl for you. But if she can is able to understand, then y' all can work out again. Like I said, it's only month four. She's probably gonna get tired of doing that shit eventually anyway. But just have the conversation with her. Let her know you want this. Let her know you want to be with her and then tell her, hey, I need you to not talk.

[Rory]

I need you to go get a job. I need you to get busy.

[Damaris]

You need to stop putting on me.

[Rory]

I need you to go get a job job and. And do Pilates on Saturdays and Sundays when you can get out the house and get away from me. That's what I need.

[Mo]

Another voicemail.

[Damaris]

Hey, what's up, y'? All? Shout out to everybody. I love the pod. I really just have a quick question for y'. All. So recently, like, this weekend, I went out, and I haven't been out in a minute. And of course, I ran into every person I know in the whole city, right? And I ran into this dj. Mind you, I have met this man one time in real life. Okay, okay. One time in real life. And it just. You know how sometimes a nigga will greet you in a way to make it, like, seem like they overly know you? Like, this nigga hugged me and kissed me on the top of my head like, you do not know me. And it's fine. Niggas in here, like, stop doing that. So my question to all of y' all is, like, what is something that somebody would do that you feel like is them, like, being overly familiar or trying to, like, make it seem like they know you more than they do? And what's a good response so that all the fine in here know. I am not with this. Thanks. N. This H. This happened to me.

[Rory]

She only doing that cuz he ain't one of the fine.

[Damaris]

This this happened.

[Mo]

Or he. He overcharging for what they did to the coal Crush. Cuz. I hate when women do this more than men.

[Rory]

In my opinion.

[Damaris]

They do.

[Mo]

Like, he just returning the favor of everything we've had to go through. I can't stand when women do that.

[Rory]

My bad. I ain't know you had it like that. My. I ain't know they was on you like that as soon as you step out. I ain't know Red Rooster was doing it like that. My bad. Red Robin.

[Mo]

Don't call me, all right? Red Robin's fine. Don't call me Red Roof. I don't like. I don't like that.

[Damaris]

I bought a. I bought a date to burgers and bottles and suddenly so many.

[Mo]

You ever had to, like, speak to me, explain to the person you were with whether you were really dating or just kind of kicking it? I don't know that. And you look like a liar. Like, I really don't know that person. Like, oh, she seemed very familiar. I don't know that person.

[Damaris]

See, I look up cuz I'm a public figure. I'm like, oh, they know me from the Pop five that know me from high school.

[Rory]

He know me.

[Damaris]

He must be a fan. I don't know. I stiff arm so many at burger. What? Hey, yo, what's going. Hey, what's up? What's good with you?

[Rory]

See, I call that out. I'm like, oh, you acting funny. I'm that guy. Oh, you acting funny.

[Damaris]

A hating ass.

[Rory]

N. But if I. If I. And then I see you out, we ain't.

[Mo]

She saying she don't know that guy.

[Damaris]

Yeah, she's saying one time. Yeah.

[Mo]

No, I'm talking about. And women, too. Like. Like, you never them Nothing like that.

[Damaris]

Yeah.

[Mo]

Or you got to bold women.

[Rory]

Got to be both that, though. It takes a bold woman to do that, though. So, guy, she bold because women don't usually throw themselves out there like that. A woman that does that, and y' all don't really know each other like that, and she all like, hey, Rory.

[Mo]

Yes, thank you.

[Rory]

That's bold.

[Damaris]

Hey, Rory, where you. I ain't seeing you out here in a minute.

[Mo]

Thank you.

[Rory]

That's bold. That's a bold woman.
