Baby D
Wait, so I sound like my Eminem freestyle?
JJ from the Bronx
Yes, that's exactly what you sound like. That's exactly what you sound like.
Baby D
I need more self awareness then I thought I was killing that.
JJ from the Bronx
No, no, because you know in your head you hear your voice differently. I never heard that. Yeah, in your head you hear your voice differently. So you probably feel like you sound
Baby D
like of a narcissist.
JJ from the Bronx
You sound like Max.
Baby D
I never think.
JJ from the Bronx
I think you sound like my guy that does the ring announcement. Michael Buffer, he think he. He think he's Michael Buff. He think he sounds like Michael Buffer.
Baby D
I was going to say MC Light, but yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, MC Light. Welcome back. We are here, Baby D. How are you feeling?
Baby D
That's an awfully hot coffee pot.
JJ from the Bronx
Exactly.
Baby D
We are back of the week.
JJ from the Bronx
It's the same cadence. It is the same cadence. But we are back. Sponsored by Boost Mobile. Unlimited talk, sex and data. Because only world champions can be sponsored with unlimited talk, text, data and unlimited champagne this Thursday in Manhattan.
Baby D
That is true. Was it Megan Good? Who was the actress that was doing the Boost commercials? I was like, yo, look at our label, mate.
JJ from the Bronx
Yes, Ryan, you know, thank you, Ryan.
Rory Mall
Did you even fill it up like
Baby D
ain't nothing even come out?
JJ from the Bronx
No, no, Ryan.
Baby D
Like that little fart.
JJ from the Bronx
53 years, Ryan. And this is the amount of smoke. This is what you give us.
Baby D
And look at the time. It's not like even when we started
JJ from the Bronx
after 50, we waited 53 years for this, Ryan. 53 years. And this is the smoke he gives us. Thank you, Ryan. Thank you so much.
Baby D
That's what I expect from a warrior.
JJ from the Bronx
I'm sure Clyde Frazier appreciates the smoke that you just gave us. Jesus Christ.
Baby D
Speaking of the 73, that's WEMBY in the air. I think that's what it looks like.
JJ from the Bronx
Got championship Knicks T shirt signed by Uncle Earl. The Pearl Monroe for everybody. Thank you, Baby D. This is for your dad, not you. You don't know nothing about the pearls, so give that to Pops, all right? He would appreciate that. Peach, that's for you.
Baby D
Signed by Uncle Earl.
JJ from the Bronx
Signed by Uncle Earl.
Daniel Cormier
Pearl, man.
Baby D
Oh, this is great, Ryan.
JJ from the Bronx
You get one, too, even though you from the bay don't Worry about it.
Baby D
No, that should go to my pops.
JJ from the Bronx
Sends the love. Uncle Earl sends love.
Colin Coward
Thanks.
Baby D
He's a Warriors fan.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. Give one to Pops.
Baby D
Oh, he listen.
Rory Mall
Yeah, I'll give this to my daddy.
JJ from the Bronx
Shout out to Uncle Earl the pearl, mon.
Baby D
That's amazing, man.
JJ from the Bronx
Top 50, not 75p. Very. Just a difference when you name top 50.
Baby D
Tell. Yeah, tell Uncle Earl we said thank you. This is greatly, greatly appreciated.
JJ from the Bronx
I'm gonna have him stop by soon and kick it with us, man.
Baby D
I mean, I definitely am gonna give my dad the other one, but I could go the route of saving one and then have one to wear.
JJ from the Bronx
You're gonna wear signature on your chest. I mean, listen, whatever fit, whatever, Whatever floats your boat, man. You know what I mean? But congratulations to the New York Knicks, 2026 NBA World Champions. Fucking right. You fucking right.
Baby D
I don't know what it's like to not be a world champ.
JJ from the Bronx
I mean, I mean, like, how many moons ago Rory was the last, like, champ? Like, who. Who won the championship last year? We don't even know.
Baby D
Ryan, what's it like to not be an NBA champion? We just have to ask the only non Knicks fan in the room, what is it like?
JJ from the Bronx
That's funny asking Ryan, being from Sanford, like from the Bay, like, he's. He's had nothing, but. He's had nothing but success.
Rory Mall
Y' all sound new as fuck.
JJ from the Bronx
He's had nothing but success the last however many years.
Rory Mall
He's definitely a dynasty.
Baby D
Did the warriors win in 2026? No.
JJ from the Bronx
But we know who did win in 2026. The New York Knickerbockers. Yes, sir. Congratulations to the Knicks. Listen, man, I'mma be real. That was one of the best finals I've ever seen. Only because every game was close and every game the Knicks had to come from behind to win the game. Like, that was like. That's every basketball fan's dream Finals. Like, let it be closed games.
Baby D
Every game having a series go 4 to 1. And the team that has 4 was leading 23 of the time. It's one of the craziest finals.
JJ from the Bronx
It's insane. It's insane. Insane. I was. I was loving the videos of. You know, everything's going viral now. Everything that the sports, sports analysts and everybody was saying when the Knicks first signed Jalen Brunson, and it was like, ah, he's not. They need more. He's not the guy. We won't get it done. This is stupid. Why are they doing this? And I mean, for Jalen Brunson to Go out and average 30 something and closeout game, what he had 40, 41,
Baby D
something like that, 45.
JJ from the Bronx
I mean, he just put all of that to bed, man. Like that. Watching Jalen Brunson play was definitely, like. It gave, like, an old school, like, 90s type of vibe where one player just went out there and dominated every single game. Yeah.
Baby D
It was like watching 2001 Iverson.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
Just with a little bit more help. Yeah. But I don't really care what his pop says. He's the greatest Nick of all time. He's the greatest of all. He's the greatest Nick of all time.
JJ from the Bronx
Let me say this. I don't even want to speak to that. Let the 20, 26 Knicks enjoy it. Let Jalen Brunson enjoy his ring. But he put on the show, man. He put on a show. I don't care about greatest Nick ever and all of that other shit. That's whatever. But Jalen Brunson, what he did at his size and, you know, what he was able to do in his finals, was very, very fun to watch. As a basketball fan, you had to enjoy every one of these games. It was just fun to watch the Knicks go out there and win.
Baby D
I mean, I don't even care about the stats. I can't say Jalen Brunson is the only Knick that has made me weep. I've been angry at teams. I've thrown stuff at the TV up, but I've never cried. On Saturday night, I cried. And that is because of Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks. No other nick has made me actually have tears drop from my face. Yeah, I didn't cry well, I did kind of cry when Amara was born, but I cried more.
JJ from the Bronx
Cried more when Wemby missed that three.
Baby D
When OG Threw that ball in the air. It was better than catching Amara in the birthing process.
JJ from the Bronx
Like, watching it, all I thought about was just all of the 90s games I watched with the Knicks, like Patrick Ewing and Derek Harper and John Starks and Oakley and all these guys, like, just watching them. And then the games that those Knicks teams had, like, those. The series. Cause, I mean, you ran into Jordan in the 90s, you probably did not win a ring.
Daniel Cormier
Right.
JJ from the Bronx
I think that's safe to say. In the 90s, Michael Jordan dominated. You did not. If you had to play him in the playoffs, you lost pretty much. So being a kid, watching a lot of those younger Knicks teams, all those older Knicks teams in the 90s play, to see this Knicks team win it all, like. And Then see guys from the C, Patrick Ewan there, see Spike Lee there, see Oakley and, you know, Starks and all these guys at the games. It was special, man. It was special to see that. And like, damn, like, they really supported this team, you know, even though they're not on the team, they're still part of the fraternity of the New York Knicks. And to see them rooting the team and supporting them, it was just fun to watch. And that final buzzer was like. The first thing I said was, oh, shit, they really want it. Yeah, because for so many years it was like, damn, that was tough, man. Next year. Next year. How many years? Did you say next year, Rory, as a Knicks fan? Next year. Next year's our year. Next. You know, Knicks fans love to say next year's our year.
Baby D
You know, in Armageddon, before Bruce Willis hits the bomb thing and like his whole life with his daughter, like, flashes through that. Like when OG Threw the ball in the air, I started thinking about, like when I was like, yo, we should give Jamal Crawford the Max.
Colin Coward
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Zach Randolph, kill me. Give all David Lee. Give them the Max.
Baby D
Like those teams I watched my point guard wipe Vaseline all over his face on ustream.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, yeah.
Baby D
Like, this is the pain that I've been through.
JJ from the Bronx
That was for them. OG Throwing that ball was like finally, like, we, we. We broke the lid off this shit. Finally got a. A ring.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
And it was fun, man. It was fun to watch the city was turned up. It was good to see, you know, everybody celebrate. Even though it was some idiots sprinkled throughout, whatever, we not gonna highlight that. But to see the entire city come together, different neighborhoods, different boroughs, everybody out in the street celebrating, it was fun to see New York, like, really have that moment.
Baby D
And to your point of the video of all the reporters, media personalities talking about Brunson, I love that too, because he's been doubted his whole career. Even when he won two national championships, still was a second round pick. Like, he's been doubted and that should be highlighted. But I don't think any of those reporters should apologize because I said the same things they said. We all did. I said dumb shit. Like when we got OG and traded away fucking quick, I was like, that's our future. Yeah, I really thought that. Dumb shit.
JJ from the Bronx
All the bridges, the picks. I love what Josh Hart said. Like, yo, listen, man, forget those picks, man. Like, who cares? We got a ring. Like, nevermind those picks. We don't care about the next few drafts. Like, they got it done. And that should be the Sentiment, like, forget looking forward and down the line, like, stay in the moment. This team got it done. But again, shout out to Brunson, man, for him to take more than 100 million less just so they can go out and get other pieces and put together this team. Oh, but let's be clear. He gonna overcharge them for the call.
Rory Mall
I was literally about to say, he gonna make it back.
JJ from the Bronx
You know, he gonna cash out. Jalen Bronson is about to cash out.
Baby D
He's gonna ask for Penn Station below the building.
Colin Coward
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
And they should give it to him. They should get Moynihan Hall. Who's that? No, Brunson Hall. It should be Jalen Station. Yeah. Who is Moynihan? No, it's Brunson Station from now on. It's not Moynihan Hall. No, it's Brunson hall from now on. Like, that's. That's. That. That. That was just fun to watch. The Knicks, really, really good. And the fashion that they got it done in was just. It was crazy, man.
Baby D
And I mean, Dolan, whatever, thanks, I guess. But the front office, we do have
JJ from the Bronx
shout out to Leon Rose, shout out to World Wide West.
Baby D
My entire life, the Knicks strategy was, let's tank the season and try to get a good draft pick. And when finally we had, like, a 79% chance of getting the number one pick, we end up getting the third pick. Our whole strategy forever is tank or try to buy a superstar. The last five years, the front office, to your point, too, of the picks, fuck our strategy before. Let's focus on the next three years and get a squad.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
For 30 years of my life, it was just either tank or let's try to buy a superstar. Remember, we thought LeBron was coming.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, everybody thought LeBron. All the pictures they had of him in the Knicks jersey. Yeah, yo, shout out to. Shout out to my guy, Julius Randle, though, because again, I keep going back to when they signed Jalen Brunson, and I asked him about Brunson, he said, outside of Kobe Bryant, that is the best guard he's ever played with. And Julius was not wrong. Like, the performance that Brunson put on. They was comparing his numbers to Kobe's numbers I saw earlier today. Again, man, I still can't believe that Brunson was able to go out there and play like that.
Baby D
Well, also, shout out to Julius. Shout out Dechenzo. Shout out to Tibbs, like, of course this was the squad that did it. But let's not act like Julius really was. He was the catalyst to this entire thing.
JJ from the Bronx
Julius brought the energy back to the city when the Knicks got back to the playoffs for the first time in a while. And he bought that energy back of just hard, you know, hard, gritty player. But again, the Knicks made changes and. And shuffled the deck a little bit and came out on top, man. So again, shout out to the Knicks, shout out to all of the fans. Just, you know, enjoy it. Have fun, go crazy. My brother put in the chat. Last time the Knicks won, I ate my first mango. So, you know, shout out to people like that. Shout out to people like that. Like that. Just remember, you know, like, how many years it's been since the Knicks had an opportunity to celebrate like this.
Baby D
My dad was a child.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. My mom was a child. Yeah. My mom was in her early 20s, I think, so. Yeah. It's crazy when you think about it like that. Like, it's insane.
Baby D
The. The craziest tweet, which was funny. What's true. The last time the Knicks had won, New York created hip hop.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Yeah.
Baby D
Did you how crazy that is?
JJ from the Bronx
That's a. That's when you think about it, like, that whole genre that changed the world was the last time the Knicks. Yeah. That's. Wow.
Baby D
But I mean, not. Not to get too deep or romantic, but it's. It's different. And I'm being biased, obviously, as a New Yorker, but it's different when the Knicks win. Outside of the time, like, I have not seen New York unified like that, like we said, since 9 11. Yeah. Like, that's a joke, but I'm deadass.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
Like, it really changed. I know it's just basketball, but when it comes to the Knicks, it's just a little different.
JJ from the Bronx
It's different. It's different, man. It's so different. A lot of my homeboys out in LA were out watching the game and they were celebrating.
Baby D
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
When the Knicks won, like, damn, man. The Knicks got one like that. That's just the overall feeling like, yo, the Knicks really did it. It was so crazy. A few of my homegirls like, okay, so, like, it's over. That's it. There's no more games to play. I'm like, no, it's over. The Knicks are champions. They was like, so that's it. Like, it's no game in two days. I'm like, no, the season is over. The Knicks are the world champions.
Baby D
When do they have to play kd?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, like, it's over, but it's just. It's just fun to see everybody celebrate, man. Shout out to all the, like, the lifelong Knicks fans, the die hard fans that. You know what I mean? Like, just. All of the years of just agony and, you know, just getting looking like it was right there and just heartbreak happened. It was good to see that everybody, you know, had their moment and had a chance to really, like, kind of let everything go. Like you said, OG Threw that ball. It was kind of like out of here. Like, it's over. Like, we ain't got to deal with this shit no more. The Knicks got one. And yeah, man, it was. It was fun to watch.
Baby D
Where was everybody to watch?
JJ from the Bronx
Game five, Crib and house.
Rory Mall
Really? Even for game five?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, I was in the crib, man. Cause you know what it is going out like we're in the city where the finals is at. And this again, this was a huge deal, right? It's just a lot you gotta deal. Like, I really wanna just watch the game. Plus world, I don't want to go to commercial. The DJ start playing where all my scamming ass niggas at. I don't wanna hear this. I'm here for the game. I don't wanna hear music in between the commercial break. I don't wanna have to hear somebody arguing. Cause the wings is cold. Like, I don't. I'm here to watch the game. So that's why I enjoy watching it in the crib. You got unlimited snacks, unlimited food. If you want some drinks or some drink in there. I'd rather watch it at home. It was just too much going on in Manhattan. Everything was just as it should be. It was a party. Everything was a celebration.
Baby D
Yeah, I get it.
Rory Mall
Rory, where were you? I checked your location. I saw you were in the city.
Baby D
Well, I was at the Hell's Kitchen apartment.
Rory Mall
Oh, okay.
Baby D
Yeah, so I know that was hell over there.
JJ from the Bronx
Wow, did everybody start banging pots and pans like they did for the first responders? So out the window. Remember that in Baby D?
Rory Mall
Yes.
JJ from the Bronx
That's how you know it was a shift change. The night nurses are going in now.
Baby D
Remember we spent a million dollars for jets to fly over the city?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. Remember the boat? The Red Cross boat?
Baby D
While the nurses were working? I watched because I wasn't responding. They did it for me. Oh, in our Hell's Kitchen apartment. It looks directly into Times Square, so. Yeah, you couldn't hear a pot and pan if you tried. Yeah, fireworks went off at one point. I'm washing dishes and the window looks into Times Square. This is after the game.
JJ from the Bronx
You washed dishes when the Knicks won a Championship I had tomorrow.
Baby D
What was I supposed to do? I was up with the excitement.
Rory Mall
You should have had your baby outside. You fucking.
JJ from the Bronx
You don't wash dishes when the Knicks. You think that Walt Frazier came out of that tunnel.
Baby D
Job not done.
JJ from the Bronx
Willis Reed came out of that tunnel. Earl the Pearl came out of that for you to wash dishes.
Baby D
I went to the gym yesterday to prepare for 27.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, my God, Peach. He washed dishes when the Knicks won.
Baby D
What was I have a child? What was I supposed to do?
JJ from the Bronx
You let the dishes sit till tomorrow.
Baby D
I was on a high. I couldn't sleep. So I'm. And I'm watching like, like, the Squidward Meme when Patrick and SpongeBob are running and you're in the window. So I'm just watching all the.
JJ from the Bronx
The beautiful Knicks won the chips. That is the most manly thing. Men have the night off. Every man in New York City has the night off when the next ironically,
Baby D
Kia went out and I couldn't.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, my God, we're losing it. We're losing the testosterone.
Baby D
No, but I didn't mind because. Because I'm like you. I really wanted to just watch the game. I didn't want to go.
JJ from the Bronx
I just want to watch the game.
Baby D
But I would have went out into the streets had I not had a kid. But it was fun to watch while I was watching dishes. I don't know if you guys saw, like, all that smoke, and it. Somebody literally set, like, a mini bomb off on 42nd, and I'm. I'm washing dishes. I'm like, oh, they got us. I gotta go wake Amara up. I thought. I thought. Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Thought it was that time.
Baby D
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
No, I was just.
Baby D
I was like, all right, the next one. That does mean all right. It's time for us, the city to blow up.
JJ from the Bronx
Jesus is on his way back. The rapture is coming.
Baby D
That went off. And what was so crazy is nobody ran. I was like, okay, so that was intentional.
JJ from the Bronx
Just the Knicks. It's just the Knicks won the championship, man. That's all it was.
Baby D
But, no, I did watch Baby D.
JJ from the Bronx
I know where you was at. Let me guess. Lavender room.
Rory Mall
I was. I was.
JJ from the Bronx
How did I know I watched the majority of it?
Rory Mall
Cause it's down the street from my house. I love a good bar that's just down. I can walk to.
Baby D
So I was VIP over there.
JJ from the Bronx
They know you at the door behind ropes. They know you're at the door.
Rory Mall
They know that's Baby D. It was nice. Yeah, it was nice. I wanted to be for the last game, and I Didn't know it was gonna be the last game, but I knew in my head I wanted to, like, be around people. I didn't just want to be in my house by myself on FaceTime, watching the game. So I got dressed, put my little Knicks gear on, and went out. And it was good to, like, feel other people's energy. They were playing all, like, the New York songs. Like, it was good. It felt good. So, yeah, I was excited. I was really happy. I ran home to see my dad. I cried. People were, like, running through the streets and beeping their horns.
JJ from the Bronx
Did your dad cry?
Rory Mall
I don't know if. I didn't get to him until, like, maybe, like, 35, 40 minutes after the game.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, he washed his face.
Rory Mall
Yeah, he probably did. But when I saw him, I was like, congratulations. And he was smiling.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, he washed his face already. But he cried. He cried. He ugly cried, too. Yeah, from that era. Like, they cried.
Rory Mall
It was like I said, I spent my whole life watching my dad just continuously be disappointed by the Knicks to the point where he almost, like, gave up. Like, he was a Knicks fan, but he just wouldn't get excited anymore. So I was really, really happy and stupid.
JJ from the Bronx
You can't. Because it got to a point where you. You just was like, all right, this is torture. I'm torturing myself as a Knicks fan. Like, it really was years that it felt like, as a Knicks fan, you're torturing yourself. I heard a lot of my homeboys, like, man, these niggas ain't gonna do nothing this year. Like, it got to that with Knicks fans. Like, we ain't doing nothing. Like, every year go and lose. So that's what I'm saying. A lot of that was the emotion. And to see them finally get over that hurdle, and it's over, that buzzer go off, and they are the world champions. Like, that was dope, man.
Baby D
And it wasn't even, like, the Mellow years or stop. It was those years, like, between Spreewell and Mellow, where it's like, oh, they're not even trying to put a team together. Like, that's when it. You felt like giving up as a Knicks fan.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Yeah.
Baby D
Like, even with Mellow, when they tried to give him piece, like, all right, Cool J. R. Smith shows up when he wants to. Like, at least it appears like they're trying to get something together here. Those years in between, though, when it was just nobody, it was like, why am I? Why am I? This organization doesn't even care about themselves. Like, it was some, like, therapy like, why am I attached to this. This team?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. Why am I doing this to myself?
Daniel Cormier
That's.
Baby D
That's where the tears come from. Like, that. I could tell the difference between lifelong Knicks fans. And I'm not one of those people. I love the bandwagon fans. I thought that was great. If you're in New York and be a Knicks fan.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
But you could see the difference between the lifelong Knicks fans and the new ones. The new ones were cheering, screaming, jumping up and down.
Club 520 Host
Yeah.
Daniel Cormier
Hope.
Rory Mall
Yeah.
Baby D
The rest of us were just sitting there quiet in disbelief.
Club 520 Host
Yeah.
Baby D
Like, no, I didn't put my phone up. They were like, I didn't. I didn't record myself.
JJ from the Bronx
You had to have a moment. Yeah. You had to take a moment to see yourself.
Baby D
All right, wait, so four one.
Club 520 Host
That. That.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. It's over. It's over.
Baby D
Is it best of 12?
JJ from the Bronx
Is it best of 12? Yeah, that's. That's the feeling. It felt like, though, you had to really, like, okay, it happened.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Take that shit.
JJ from the Bronx
It happened.
Baby D
But no, man, this is why sports are incredible. This is why the child's game is so important to us.
JJ from the Bronx
I ain't gonna lie. I do wish they would have won it at the Garden. Only because we would have saw, like, an NBA court get stormed by the. The security would not have been able to stop people in the Garden from storming that floor. I don't care how many security. There's no way they would have been able to stop that. And I think that because we need to see that again. Like, we haven't seen an NBA court be stormed when the home team wins a championship at home. But the Knicks winning a championship is different from OKC getting their first one. It's different than, you know, the Cavs getting their first one. It's a difference. When you talk about Madison Square Garden. New York Knicks have just won the NBA championship in the Garden. I would have liked to see the court get stormed by, like, Ben Stiller and Larry David and like, all of the. Patrick Ewan, all these guys. That's the one thing I wish did happen. But either way, the city will take it.
Baby D
Watching them all smoke cigars in the arena.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
Was maybe just as good.
JJ from the Bronx
We'll take that fine.
Rory Mall
Yeah, we're not violating them.
JJ from the Bronx
We'll take that fine.
Rory Mall
Why we didn't get confetti?
Baby D
I mean, you're in there. The spurs, them. You think the spurs had confetti?
JJ from the Bronx
Orange confetti at the top of the stadium? Like, nah, the Knicks gonna win tonight. So let's Just prepare like, no, that's not happening. No, them.
Baby D
But no, I mean, watching Wemby storm off like a child in his own arena, that's still. That still brought some. Some love to my heart.
JJ from the Bronx
Young. He's only 22, man.
Baby D
Oh, wait, I'm. Listen, I have a lot to say about Wemby, but I'm not on the side of. He should have shook hands with everyone. I don't care about that. Like, you're competing. I don't think he's wrong for just storming off and not shaking hands. I don't. But I really don't care about that.
Rory Mall
It's not about competing. The competition is over. You lost. Lose with great.
JJ from the Bronx
No, but, you know, they start teaching
Rory Mall
you that as a child when you're playing sports.
Baby D
You're taught that your whole life for kids.
JJ from the Bronx
But here's the difference, though. Here's the difference, because after every round leading up to this, when they beat okc, they shook their hands, right? The Knicks just won a championship. They celebrating. They crying, they hug. Their family's running on the court with them. It's like, as a team that just lost, I'm not gonna make my way through it. Be like, yo, good game, fam. He crying with his girl, his wife. Like, it's just like, give them that moment. Back in the tunnel once, you know, the champagne is over, we all getting dressed, we gotta go do media. That's when you congratulate everybody. But let them have that. It's not a disrespect. And I know some, like, Harrison Barnes stayed on the floor. He shook some hands.
Rory Mall
Yeah, a couple.
JJ from the Bronx
Cornette shook some hands, like. But for the most part, there's a thing that once a team wins the championship, it's kind of like, bro, they celebrating right now.
Baby D
Like, get out their way.
JJ from the Bronx
Just let them have they moment. Let me say it's not like a disrespect, like, yo, fuck them, they beat us. It's not that energy. It's more so, like, bro, the Knicks just won the championship. They got their first one in 53 years. Like, Brunson is on the floor crying. Like, it's like, I guarantee you, when
Rory Mall
Wemby stormed in that locker room, that was not his thought process. Let me have. Let them have their moment. He threw the shot and walked straight from the shot, right?
JJ from the Bronx
It's over. I just broke the Knicks one.
Baby D
Imagine waiting while Brunson hugs his dad in that moment. And I'm sitting there, like, waiting to say congratulations.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Like this.
Daniel Cormier
Yeah, like.
JJ from the Bronx
And I get It. Some players did stay, but, you know, for the most part, it is like, let them enjoy their moment. Once they, you know, everybody is in the back dressed and ready to leave the arena. You kind of make your way to certain guys that you have a relationship with or just, you know, in general, just shake hands and, you know what I'm saying? Congratulations. Have some laughs. Like, yeah, we bust y' all ass, shit like that. But like, in the moment, final bus just went off. I could understand certain players just walking off, letting the other team have their moment.
Baby D
And I still think Wemby is a dirty, pompous French fuck. But I just, I didn't, I wasn't on that side of like, that's why we should hate Wemby because he didn't shake hand like this.
Rory Mall
Oh, no. We have mad other reasons.
Baby D
Yeah, I don't like him, but it's not because of that. I don't think you need to do that. But his post game was, was interesting to say the least.
JJ from the Bronx
What do you say in the post game? I didn't see his post game.
Baby D
I mean, he didn't go quite. What's, what's the CAVS Coach name?
JJ from the Bronx
Ms. Johnson.
Baby D
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
I mean, no, Cavs or Spurs.
Baby D
Cavs.
JJ from the Bronx
Kenny Atkinson.
Baby D
He didn't go full, you know, analytically. We've won the last two games. But he was saying they dominated and that the Knicks made them pay for their mistakes, which was definitely true.
JJ from the Bronx
But he's right though. The spurs did for the most of the game, dominate the game and the series. They led every game. They blew a 29 point lead in game four. Like they, they played better.
Baby D
It's just that they did D. Yeah. 74% of the time.
JJ from the Bronx
They're just young. They don't know how to finish out the games. They don't know when the lead is slipping. They don't know the adjustments. And then the coach through. The coach is young. He's never been to the finals.
Colin Coward
He's.
JJ from the Bronx
He's inexperienced. He's trying to figure it out. I will say this, not looking like that. Look, the Knicks one, we happy. But if Popovich was coaching that team, it would have been a little different.
Baby D
That goes without saying.
JJ from the Bronx
The spurs are not blowing a 29 point lead with, with coach Popovich on the sideline. That's not happening. You know what I mean? Like, it's just certain things that we could look at and say that wouldn't happen if the coach made this adjustment. If the coach did this, if the coach did that again, that's looking Back.
Baby D
I mean, but I mean, like, I mean, yeah, of course, but they'll be fine.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, the spurs gonna be right back. I don't see nobody beating them in the west for a few years. Like they. They gonna get another shot. That's for sure.
Baby D
And to the.
Club 520 Host
The.
Baby D
The Wemby haters. And I'm one of them. Listen, man, Braun didn't make it right away. Jordan didn't. Like, he's going to be fine.
JJ from the Bronx
Braun got swept his first finals against the Spurs. They swept Cleveland to.
Baby D
To get there. Yeah. But I. I do see and understand some of the conversation of. Of how they've set up Wemby to obviously be the face of the league. And side note, that's also why this is the greatest Knicks team of all time. Not only did they beat the spurs, they beat the system. They tried everything to make sure that the Knicks did not win. Like blatantly with the. Blatantly every single game to make sure we did not win. And they still won. But with that said, Wemby's attitude and how he operates in this era of the game. Can he be the face if he's not likable? I mean, Braun went through his villain era too, but Wemby is starting out to be unlikable. And is that. Is that what the league wants as the face?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, you need that.
Baby D
You need a Steph Curry at one point. He's very likable.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. You can't be 74 unlikable.
Colin Coward
They gotta hate.
Baby D
I'm not mad at hating Wemby. Like I wanna make that clear.
JJ from the Bronx
You gotta be 74 and they hate you. Cause they know you about to come in there and dominate and kill. Like that's the Persona you should be carrying.
Rory Mall
Like being hated for your talent and then being hated cause you're an asshole. Are two completely different.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if Wimby's an asshole. I don't know the guy personally. But I know that other teams look at him like he's gonna be a problem.
Baby D
Well, there's a different. All right. I believe Kobe is top three ever. One of. One of the greatest players I've ever watched. But it's even on record, even though my Twitter's deleted. I hated Kobe when he played.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. But I respect.
Baby D
But greatest ever. But I hated him. But not the way people hate Wimby. We hated Kobe because he was a killer.
Rory Mall
He was good.
Baby D
Like anytime Kobe touched the floor, it was like this guy. Every time. Wemby's. Not that he does Dirty, Weird. His. His how he even treats some of his own teammates like it. I don't know. It just. It comes across in a bad way. And I'm not saying we're all dots. He doesn't have to make friends. This isn't a fucking friendly competition. It's just different when you're the face of the league, that's all.
JJ from the Bronx
No, it's different when it's your team that's playing against that player. Because, Ryan, does anybody in the Bay think Draymond Green is a dirty player? Exactly my point.
Baby D
But I don't think Draymond's a dirty player.
JJ from the Bronx
When you're from San Francisco or Oakland and you're a Warriors fan, you don't think Draymond Green is a dirty player, which is crazy. You like, yo, he don't take no shit.
Baby D
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Get a at them like, yeah, that's the. But when you're a Knicks fan in the finals against the spurs and Wimy is doing the. That he's doing. Oh, I hate him. He's dirty. He's this. Nobody in San Antonio thinks that Wimy's
Rory Mall
a dirty player, but people in other cities who aren't in San Antonio think that he's a dirty player.
JJ from the Bronx
But that's how it's supposed to go. You supposed to look at me like I'm a dirty player. I go out there and I'm throwing elbows, and I'm doing this and doing that. Like, whatever. Whatever it takes my team to kind of get the advantage, I'm doing it as the opposing team. You're supposed to hate me. That means I'm doing something right. You ain't supposed to be like, nah, I like that guy. No, hate me if you're not a Spurs fan.
Baby D
But that's.
JJ from the Bronx
That's the energy that Wimby is supposed to have.
Rory Mall
Yo, that was crazy.
Baby D
I don't think. But I don't think that he's a dirty player. Draymond. I think there's a difference.
JJ from the Bronx
You don't think Draymond Green is a dirty player, but you think Wemby's a dirty player.
Baby D
I think Embiid's a dirty player. I think Wemby's a dirty player.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
I.
Baby D
Maybe we have a different definition of dirty.
JJ from the Bronx
Draymond Green.
Baby D
Draymond is an aggressive.
JJ from the Bronx
Draymond Green cost the Warriors a championship because he was being a dirty player. He got ejected.
Baby D
And he doesn't do sneaky. I almost said the word, the F word. Type that. That Embiid. And Wemby does Draymond gets overly aggressive for sure, but does a little cheap, sneaky weirdo.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, that's dirty. I'm trying to do it so the ref don't see it. I'm not.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
I'm trying.
JJ from the Bronx
I'm not trying to get caught. Yeah, if I could hit you with a little elbow and the ref don't see it. Yeah, that's part of the game.
Rory Mall
If the refs.
JJ from the Bronx
I like like that, man.
Baby D
Listen, do I think Draymond should have. Was it Jordan pool day, punching practice? I don't think that is okay. But to me, that's not dirty. That's just aggressive.
JJ from the Bronx
I like it. I like when a 74 player is. Is dirty. I like it. He ain't supposed to go out there and be playing soft.
Baby D
I'm not saying play soft.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, take that elbow, Reid. Hold that.
Rory Mall
I feel like I agree with what Rory saying. I feel like you can be aggressive without literally trying to really injure your teammates, but in a sneaky way and then throw yourself to the ground like they did it. Like, I think there's a.
JJ from the Bronx
There's a. Nah, nah. I don't want to see no flopping. I'd rather you throw an elbow, run some niggas over, do that. I don't want to see flopping.
Baby D
You don't think Wemby flops?
JJ from the Bronx
I don't want to see flopping. I'm not saying he doesn't flop. I'm saying I don't want to see flopping.
Baby D
I'd rather see Mitch touched his back like this and he got a flagrant one.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, I get it. I get it. I don't like it, but I understand it. Yeah, but I like when we being aggressive and quote, unquote, dirty throwing elbows. Now, I don't want to see him hurt nobody. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see no players get injured. But, you know, if you got to get aggressive and throw some elbows and this, that, and the third, and then. Listen, man, I respect it.
Baby D
I don't mind elbows. That's cool. I'm saying when you literally, intentionally put your foot under someone that's shooting a
JJ from the Bronx
target, that should have been called a flagrant. That should have been called a flagrant.
Baby D
He should have been suspended two games ago.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, that should have been a flagrant.
Baby D
To me, that's dirty. Is okay. I know the franchise player is shooting a three at a crucial part of this game, and I'm going to intentionally put my foot under.
JJ from the Bronx
That should have been a flag to Try to now, to be fair, break
Baby D
his ankle and nasty to me. Draymond is going to punch you in your face. Because Draymond's a bully.
JJ from the Bronx
Wembley was a size 20, to be fair, so it's hard to kind of put that shit somewhere and the player don't land on it. But he was looking down at. To see where Brunson was landing, exactly what he was doing and kind of put his foot. So I kind of like. I do agree that should have been a flagrant for sure. That should have been because like you said, if Brunson had turned his ankle and not been able to finish the game like that, that changes everything. So. Yeah, I agree with that. But all in all, the Knicks one. Congrats. Enjoy it, baby. D will be at the parade Thursday.
Baby D
I'll be there as well.
JJ from the Bronx
You'll be in the vicinity.
Rory Mall
We all will be.
Baby D
Who?
JJ from the Bronx
I'm not going out there. Crazy as hell the fuck out there.
Baby D
You go to the Lakers one, though.
JJ from the Bronx
I'm not going out there. I would never go to a Lakers parade. You crazy as hell. Me? Fuck no, I'm not going out. No, because you're not going. I mean, it's gonna be so packed, you're not gonna even see nothing. You're just gonna be.
Rory Mall
I don't want to try anything. I'm not. I'm not going to see anything. To see anything, I would have to be out there at five o' clock in the morning. Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Probably before that.
Rory Mall
We have to work that day, so that just doesn't work.
Baby D
I just want to go out and get some energy.
Rory Mall
Yeah, that's with energy.
Baby D
Yeah. Because I. I didn't get to go out the night that they won, so. Yeah, I just wanted. I don't think we'll be anywhere near the gates where we'll see something to be around Knicks fans and then come record like. I'm with that.
JJ from the Bronx
But you, you'll be in Manhattan traffic, though. You can enjoy that.
Baby D
You think I'm driving to the now.
JJ from the Bronx
You missed the first four. You know, when the car do you never. You ever been down in the car do open and ain't no room to get on.
Baby D
For sure.
JJ from the Bronx
You gotta wait for the next one.
Baby D
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Four trains. You got to wait. You have to do that four times.
Baby D
But the understand the route. We could walk.
Rory Mall
We honestly could walk. Yeah.
Baby D
So, yeah, I plan on walking.
JJ from the Bronx

H E L P.com Rorymol but how do you think they'll do the parade? Like I think Wu Tang should have their own float and perform for three hours. Just cream for I'm not one repeat just for every cream.
JJ from the Bronx
Whoa.
Rory Mall
That's what my ex told me.
JJ from the Bronx
Just keep doing cream after. We want a championship parade. I'm sure they gonna have. I could actually see Wu Tang being there since they was at the garden and they performed. Yeah, I could see that.
Rory Mall
I can definitely see Wuang Wu Tang a boogie. I need Lil Kim up there.
JJ from the Bronx
Little Kim. Which song will she be performing?
Rory Mall
No matter.
JJ from the Bronx
No, it does matter. Let me tell you when it does matter.
Baby D
Quiet storm verse 47 times. It absolutely all the way up to
JJ from the Bronx
what song Little Kim will be performing at the Knicks parade. It absolutely does matter.
Baby D
That would be cool, though, if they had different floats, but, like, separate them, obviously, so the music doesn't bleed together. But, like, certain floats, that was just performers. Like Fat Joe having his own float to perform, I think would be great. Yeah, that. That would be really cool. Yeah, it's new. I mean, like, that Sweet said, last time they won, we created hip hop. Like, hip hop is a part of the Knicks.
JJ from the Bronx
That's a fact.
Baby D
So I think that would be a really cool thing to do. And I know every rapper. I mean, clearly, because we've seen all the Knicks freestyles that have come out. Hey, man, you don't want to get Fab afloat. Listen, all new material.
JJ from the Bronx
Y' all know I love Fab. That's my. I love Fab, man. But listen, some of you rappers, y' all got to all these New York, New York, New York freestyles. Relax, man.
Baby D
He was asked to do the remix.
JJ from the Bronx
No, listen, I love Fab. I'm not talking about Fab.
Baby D
Do the remix.
JJ from the Bronx
Fab had a questionable bar in there that was kind of crazy. The OG Was the OG Put the tip in. Let a. OG Put. Put the tip in. Fab.
Rory Mall
That's crazy.
JJ from the Bronx
Listen, man, you're not jacking that bar. No, I'm not. I answered your question. Don't ask me again. No, I'm not jacking that bar. But that's fat.
Baby D
That's a fab bar, though.
JJ from the Bronx
That's. No, listen, that's a. That's a. That's a throwback fab type of bar.
Baby D
It is. We did last episode. Come here and say, imagine the amount of entendres that was Patreon maybe.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
The amount of monsters Fab could do with OG no. 100 being the young OG I didn't
JJ from the Bronx
think he was gonna land on.
Baby D
Oh, I knew he was landing on that one.
JJ from the Bronx
OG Put the tip in. I didn't think he was gonna do that.
Baby D
If there was still hashtag tweet, like, fab. That would have been the first one we all would have came up with.
JJ from the Bronx
Letting OG Put this.
Baby D
That's the most predictable fab bar of all time.
JJ from the Bronx
That probably. Probably is the most predictable fat bar of all time.
Baby D
That's up there with Shoe aside.
JJ from the Bronx
No, this is 1A. This is the. This is the wildest fat punchline in history. Right? That's the wildest fat punchline ever. But, yeah, a lot of you other. Listen, man, we get it. We happy as a city. We deserve it. With a long Time for this. Some of y' all gotta relax with these New York freestyles, though. Like, we cool. We cool. We don't.
Club 520 Host
We.
JJ from the Bronx
We.
Rory Mall
All right.
JJ from the Bronx
Fab. Fab got it. He got it. He got it covered. Let Fab do him. Everybody else just relax. I don't want to hit him on New York freestyles.
Baby D
I like to hear one from Banks just because I know Banks is a huge Knicks fan. When we suck, Banks don't even talk on social media unless it's about the Knicks.
JJ from the Bronx
Fab Banks. Yeah. Like, probably those two Banks. Like, what, Papoose?
Baby D
Maybe when Twitter. When Twitter spaces was like, popping, popping, Banks would be in the crowd. Like, would we be talking about music? Never. He would only go into the Knicks Twitter spaces. Like, he only cares about the New York Knicks. It's the only time he'll talk. So, yes, I think a proper Banks freestyle is something that we should.
JJ from the Bronx
I'm not mad at Banks. Did Papu's pull one out? I'm almost. Papu's got to put one out.
Baby D
He probably put one out mid fourth quarter.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, like, when he saw the. Yeah, Papa, I'm gonna let you know what. They gonna come back and win this game. Let me put this out now. Pap, who's got. He gotta have a freestyle out. Everybody else got one. If not Papoose got one coming.
Rory Mall
Knicks won the chip. He got one.
JJ from the Bronx
He got one.
Rory Mall
Produced by Swizz Beats.
JJ from the Bronx
I told you I knew Papoose had one out. I didn't hear it yet, but I knew he had one out. There's no way Papoose don't have a Knicks championship freestyle.
Baby D
No, we have. Since my son is part of, like, Mondami's crew, he's in the cabinet. And didn't Mondame used to rap or make music? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need the. The Mayor Mice.
JJ from the Bronx
Mayor Mice.
Baby D
We need. We need that freestyle for sure. Mayor Mice, we need that freestyle.
JJ from the Bronx
Do we need it? Yeah.
Baby D
I love my song. You wouldn't want the mic.
JJ from the Bronx
It's somebody else. I can't think. Oh, Uncle Murder.
Baby D
Listen, he's gonna have 15 minutes in the wrap up. Just dedicated.
JJ from the Bronx
Nah, we need. We need Murder. We need a. We need a Knicks freestyle, man. We need a New York freestyle this week from Uncle Murder. Now we can't wait till December to get a mention of the Knicks winning the champions. The. The new season to start by then,
Baby D
do we get the Ross album or the Uncle Murder freestyle first?
JJ from the Bronx
Which one I would want first? Which word? Freestyle.
Baby D
What happened with the Ross album? Wasn't supposed to come up
JJ from the Bronx
anyway.
Baby D
Just quietly got pushed back.
JJ from the Bronx
I mean, no. Things happen. Business.
Baby D
Congratulations to the New York Knicks.
JJ from the Bronx
Yes, sir, Baby D. It's history, baby.
Rory Mall

JJ from the Bronx
You know what your pops was doing last time Knicks won the championship? Ask him.
Rory Mall
I will. I will.
JJ from the Bronx
Ask your pops what he was doing at 73? Ask him. Just have a talk. Sit down in the kitchen and have a talk with Pops. I'm like, yo, what you was doing at 73? That's the last time.
Rory Mall
I was like, 10, probably, or something like that.
JJ from the Bronx
That is crazy.
Baby D
Created you in 99. Like, he just goes off the finals.
Rory Mall

JJ from the Bronx
Oh, 94. Oh, damn. They got to the finals that year. Damn. You was conceived the year the Knicks got to the finals, though.
Baby D
You a Knicks baby.
JJ from the Bronx
You a Knicks. You might be a Nick baby.
Baby D
I'm good luck.
JJ from the Bronx
I don't know about that, but you a Nick baby for sure, though. You look at your life.
Baby D
I'm good luck. Wait, hold on. June, March. How many months is that? From June to the next year? Yo, it might have happened that night.
JJ from the Bronx
They lost, though. Rockets. That was 94. They went right.
Baby D
He was fucking out of frustration.
JJ from the Bronx
94. Yeah, the rockets. Yeah. Yeah, you might have been. Yeah, you might have been conceived that year, right around the time. Yeah, June 94.
Rory Mall
I was conceived in 93, fool.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, you was born 94?
Rory Mall
Yes, I was conceived July 4th of 93. They remember it was hot. They said they was in the shower. This is. My parents told me this.
Baby D
Well, you can get pregnant in the shower. Never knew that.
JJ from the Bronx
What the. Did you just say you didn't know you could get pregnant in the shower? That's funny. The word you could get. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, so you concede in 93? Oh, that was. That was the Bulls, so. Yeah, well, the Knicks probably did lose to the bulls that June. July 4th, he was conceived. Oh, yeah. That was some depression from Nick's Bulls. Yeah.
Baby D
And you a water sign, because I see what happened.
Rory Mall
I'm a fire sign. You all up like you got everything wrong. Like you ain't.
Baby D
What's Taurus?
Rory Mall
A Taurus is a earth sign.
Baby D
Earth sign. So it's just earth, water, and Taurus
JJ from the Bronx
and air source is the bull, right?
Rory Mall
Yes.
Baby D
Gotcha.
Club 520 Host
All right.
JJ from the Bronx
Bulls. Bull. Y' all don't even see where I'm going with this.
Rory Mall
I don't.
Baby D
We need your next freestyle. We don't. We don't. We don't that's what we're waiting for, Yo.
JJ from the Bronx
What's the sign towards Bull, Knicks, Bulls. Bull.
Baby D
Like, you see what mall could do with heart? The options are endless.
Rory Mall
So the Knicks really is short for Knickerbocker, right?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, yeah.
Rory Mall
Knickerbocker is like a piece of clothing, isn't it?
Baby D
No, it's a street in Brooklyn
Boost Mobile Advertiser
thinking
JJ from the Bronx
the Knicks was named after street. Yes, it's a Knickkabakas. Are shorts Damaris or.
Rory Mall
So why. Why would they name the team that after shorts?
JJ from the Bronx
Well, I mean, I'm pretty sure when they. I'm sure they first started those racism. Did you see the shorts they had on, how short they were?
Baby D
We'll just call it that.
JJ from the Bronx
We'll just call it. What are those you're wearing, sir? These are Knick. Knickerbockers. There's a name that sticks.
Rory Mall
The term knickerbockers traces its origin to the Dutch settlers who came to the New World.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, that makes sense.
Rory Mall
Yeah. Refers to the style of pants the settlers wore. Pants that rolled up just below the knee. So, yeah, I mean, if you just
Baby D
go through sports team names in general,
JJ from the Bronx
like, they all started at.
Baby D
It's all.
JJ from the Bronx
Some drunk man at a bar had a couple dollars, wanted to start a team and just named it. And it stuck over the years.
Rory Mall
Like, I.
Baby D
Some of it's just so I like, all right, Team in New Jersey.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
I don't know.
Baby D
There's a net there.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. Makes sense, right? Nets. I always thought it was because of the toes. The toes at the. In on the turnpike. But it got the little basket. We got to throw the change.
Baby D
No, I remember.
JJ from the Bronx
I thought that was. Thought that was for the Nets.
Baby D
Like, that was always a big thing for me as a kid to. My mom would let me lean over and what? Yeah, you never like to throw the change.
JJ from the Bronx
But do it and miss, though. Fucked your whole night up. If your mom lets you throw that shit. If your mom let you throw the change in the toll thing, you're trash if you missed. Now you got to get out, pick the change up. Calling they horn. Oh, my God. You was all kind of stupid motherfuckers.
Rory Mall
Oh, my God. Oh.
Baby D
What's the bridge in Greenpoint between Brooklyn and Queens that used to have a toll. That shit used to be paid. If you fucking missed there, they might beat the shit out of you.
JJ from the Bronx
What bridge is that?
Baby D
It's some. Some long Polack name.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, Pulaski. Pulaski.
Baby D
Yeah. No, not the one that's on the bqe. I'm saying, like, in, like, the marsh area, there's a bridge, and that used to have a toll, and that would be backed. You get your ass whooped if you miss the basket at that point. But, I mean, then you get the Jets. They were like, hey, look, a plane. We're next to an airport.
JJ from the Bronx
I can't believe when the jets really won.
Rory Mall
You just basking in it, bathing in it, bro.
JJ from the Bronx
53 years is a. That's a long time. That's a long time, man.
Baby D
It still really hasn't settled in with me, to be quite honest.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, it's like 53 years. Wow.
Baby D
I was yesterday before I went back to Jersey, when Kia got home to grab Amara, she walked in, and I was on the laptop watching the last 10 minutes. So she's like, you have a. You have an actual problem. Have y' all rewatched it?
Rory Mall
No, I. I watched it again this morning. I went through enough stress. I can't.
Baby D
I'm gonna. Tonight when I go home, I might watch the whole game. I'm not even joking.
Rory Mall
I might watch the whole game. As funny as.
Baby D
Yeah. Did y' all see Cameron's video?
Rory Mall
No. I came across it, but I didn't.
Baby D
He put out a video.
JJ from the Bronx
Does Cam have a freestyle?
Baby D
I'm sure that he'll do one with Talk with Flea. I'm sure there'll be something. But Cam has hated on the Knicks for a long time, so I appreciate it. With Cam's humor of. Of him practicing his argument that he's a real Knicks fan.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
Can we play and not get in trouble?
JJ from the Bronx
Not being with the Knicks. You talking about now. My voice too high.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
My voice too.
Rory Mall
I ain't gonna.
JJ from the Bronx
I got the Knicks fur. Is you talking about. Nobody got the Knicks fur. To the kid.
Daniel Cormier
It's fun.
JJ from the Bronx
That's too hot for a fur right now. It's too hot for that. Yo, what's good, D?
Baby D
He look like nothing.
JJ from the Bronx
This speak for itself. You talking about the pin stripe, huh? Why you wearing jackets? So ain't wearing jack. I'm not going to argue with. I'm not arguing. I'm not going to argue yet. Just say NBA. Just say New York, which represents the Nick Diplomat. I do business with the Knicks. Yeah, yeah. I'm not arguing. I see forces for. Wear these with the shorts.
Club 520 Host
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Get the camo shorts. Or should I keep it Classic.
Rory Mall
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
It's too hot for the. Damn this. I gotta figure this subline, D. Dick. My dick. Are you talking about.
Rory Mall
He grabbed it.
JJ from the Bronx
Way too aggressive. Way too aggressive.
Rory Mall
He been Trying.
Club 520 Host
He.
Rory Mall
He over here trying to convince people.
Baby D
I thought that was hilarious. No, cuz, Cam is actively. I mean, he's of course, said he's a Knicks fan, but he's rightfully so. On the Knicks for the last 10 years.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, man, it was hard to stay a Nick fan for all them years through all of that shit, man. A lot of people got off the ship and was like, man, I ain't going to keep putting myself through this shit.
Club 520 Host
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
But it is fun to watch people.
Rory Mall
Like, I always tell women, like, yo, if you wanna. You want a man that no matter how much you disappoint him, he gonna stay around, like, date a Knicks fan.
Baby D
You saying Knicks fans get cheated on instead? Yeah, it's crazy. Not now, though. We found. We. We found our soulmate. It's the championship. Never going back to y'.
Rory Mall
All. Yeah, I think y' all could double back. I think I could get it again.
Baby D
I was in the gym yesterday. Work starts now.
JJ from the Bronx
Work starts now. Rory going to the gym. Say work starts now.
Baby D
Job not done. Yo, they could go to Good Morning America, but I'm here to work.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, my God.
Rory Mall
Do you guys think they can do it again?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
Yeah.
Club 520 Host
Really?
Baby D
I think that the stars. I can be objective. The stars definitely align for us with the road to the. They deserve this. I hate the way people are talking, like, this is the easy. This is the worst finals team ever. Whatever. That's hate shit to me. They earned it. And they swept teams. They. They are champions. But a lot of shit worked out. Yeah, a lot of worked out for us.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, I'm. I'm some of that, but also, I mean, but we could do it again for sure. They sweat two rounds, though, easily. Yeah, so that's just like, you know, that's saying a lot when a team swoops two rounds. This team is for real. Like, that ain't just a fluke. Like, this team is the real deal again, as New Yorkers, it's just hard to say that convincingly because there's been so many years of not winning the title. But no, this team is for real. I think they're gonna make some changes, obviously. Little tweaks here and there.
Rory Mall
Like what?
Baby D
Well, I was on facetime with my mans right when they won and said, enjoy it now because the Knicks are still the Knicks. Like, they'll probably trade Deuce and bridges for Bronnie Jr. Tomorrow. Like, the Knicks are going to find a way.
JJ from the Bronx
Well, that won't happen, but I do think that they'll.
Baby D
This team up Somehow, if there's some.
JJ from the Bronx
Something out there where Giannis is available.
Baby D
Please.
Daniel Cormier
All right.
Baby D
Give it next year to keep the same squad. I'm just saying give it next year, at least to keep the squad and then break it up if it looks
JJ from the Bronx
Giannis is available for what? I'm.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
I agree.
JJ from the Bronx
They won the championship. You don't need them.
Baby D
Cause you need another two years to get the chemistry with that once Giannis comes.
JJ from the Bronx
I agree. I'm just saying, I think if Giannis comes available, if Milwaukee calls the Knicks man and Milwaukee says, give us Cat and a couple guards, I think the Knicks pull the trigger on that.
Baby D
But we. We've done the try to trade for the superstar. It doesn't work out. We built a squad.
JJ from the Bronx
Listen, the Knicks won a championship, so obviously they got it right. They figured it out with the team that they have. I'm just saying this is. The NBA is a business. If Giannis. A player like Giannis is available and Milwaukee wants to make a trade happen with the Knicks, I think the Knicks entertain that trade for Giannis. Absolutely. Without a doubt. You almost have to.
Baby D
You don't have to.
JJ from the Bronx
You almost have to. You almost have to. That's all I'm saying. Me, personally, if I'm the gym, I don't. There's not much that I.
Baby D
Cat and all his sass need to stay here.
Rory Mall
Yeah, I don't.
JJ from the Bronx
It's hard.
Baby D
It's hard for me to die now.
JJ from the Bronx
It's hard for me to disagree because they won. So you right. It's hard for me to be like, nah, they can move Cat because they won with Cat. So, you know, I can't say that. But one thing I do know is Giannis in the Garden. Giannis. A Giannis Nick jersey. That's a lot of money. A story would go Giannis. New York Knicks jersey is a lot. There will be a lot of jersey sales if Giannis name is Antetokubo's on the Knicks shirt, even though they had his brother on. That didn't sell as much as Giannis, though. Yeah, yeah. Giannis. Yeah. That's a little. That's a little different. So, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't, you know, I wouldn't put it past the Knicks to entertain a big. A big sign in this summer.
Baby D
Did you see OG on Good Morning America?
JJ from the Bronx
I did toe.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Sometimes.
Baby D
Sometimes you got to wear sunglasses.

They got to just let them. But they home. They probably ain't had five hours of sleep in the last.

Definitely not three days.
JJ from the Bronx
Like, let them. Let them sleep. Let them chill Like, y' all putting them in a. On a press run. Like,
Rory Mall
my boy is fucking.
Baby D
Like, why have to be in the front chair, too? Like, put OG in the back if he's that slow. Like, switch with Bridges, please.
Rory Mall
It's him. It's the way he's sitting because he's trying so hard. Like, even throughout the interview, he would, like, just, like, he's sitting so far straight up, like, trying to.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, it's a lot, man.
Baby D
Where does this rank in regards to genuine on Good Morning America?
JJ from the Bronx
Nah, genuine with tgt. No, genuine. Now, if. If OG had to go play the piano. Yeah, he had to play the piano or something, it'd be. He would rival that. But, yeah, that's just OG trying to focus and just like, yo, listen, man, I want to go back to the hotel, lay down, sleep, like. But, you know, this is part of it. They gotta go.

They sending them through the ringer. For sure.
Baby D
I. There was a whole campaign of. Take Bridges. Phone. When he was on live, I was the opposite. Yeah, that was. That was fucking top tier entertainment. Yeah, he was making some good points. Like, all right, at least get us a practice facility in the city.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, it's time for that.
Baby D
Westchester.
JJ from the Bronx
It's time for that to happen. The Knicks don't. They shouldn't still be having to practice all the way out in Westchester and go to the city.
Baby D
It'd be kind of distract.
Daniel Cormier
I'm.
Baby D
It'd be distracting, though. What if they had to practice in the city?
Rory Mall
Distracted?
Baby D
Food for the players. I mean, it would just be so many people around there all the time.
JJ from the Bronx
No.
Baby D
Coming out of every practice. Media would be right there every time.
Rory Mall
I feel like. I feel like now, yes. But I feel like once it's there and that's happened for a while, it would, like. It would become just like everything else in New York City, where.
Baby D
Yeah, that's a good point.
Rory Mall
We don't really have things like that in New York City because we're used to seeing that shit all the time. But if you have them kept away, then, yeah, when they first come down, it is gonna be like that.
Baby D
Yo, your man Jose was wilding after the game. He didn't know it was a hot mic when he said, I'm about to take a pill. You didn't see that?
JJ from the Bronx
Nah.
Baby D
Jalen Brunson was sitting down to go do his postgame interview, and Jose's yelling in the Background. That's my mvp. That's my mvp. And Jaylen's like, go take a shower. He's like, no, I'm about to take a pill. I'm out.
JJ from the Bronx
But wasn't it. But wait. All right, wait, wait.
Baby D
I didn't misspoke it. That was the entire conversation.
JJ from the Bronx
What was it? Was he. Was that, like, some reference? We don't know? Like, instead of taking a shower, you take a pill.
Baby D
A shower pill?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. I mean, I could be out the loop. I don't know, because I don't even understand why he would say take a
Baby D
pill in response to somebody about to take that zany.
JJ from the Bronx
No. So that means don't wash ass. You could do both. Like. Like, you could take a shower and take a zanny. Like, you don't. You could do both. You don't need to not shower because you want to take a pill. That's why I'm kind of confused. Like, is that meaning something has a different meaning or something? I don't like what he take a wet wipe shower. That's a shower pill.
Rory Mall
Peace. Just made that up out the crack of his ass.
JJ from the Bronx
No, it gotta be something like that.
Baby D
My father calls that something else, and it happens to be something that. Jose is a whore bath.
Rory Mall
He calls it a Puerto Rican bath shower.
Baby D
Are you serious? That's a term. It's a term for his generation. It's racist. I just wanted to be racist.
Rory Mall
That doesn't even make sense. That doesn't even make sense.
Colin Coward
I don't.
Baby D
It doesn't make sense. I'm just. I'm just telling. I wasn't there. That's what they did in the 80s.
JJ from the Bronx
I come from the bird bath era. Like, that
Baby D
Puerto Rican shower is the bird baby about. I don't say that. I'm just saying that.

Baby D
Still. We like. Yeah, the Irish Italian weren't the most progressive people on the block.

I like it. Fuck you, right?
Baby D
Hey, yo, shout out to Kat for being the fiance of the year. This has been some of the greatest marketing for that bag. If Jordan doesn't make $5 million by the end of the week, I would be surprised.
Rory Mall
And she has them like she's selling them at a reasonable price. I think they're like 130 or something.
Baby D
I'm about to just buy. Would y' all judge me if I carried one around? No. Okay.
Rory Mall
No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
JJ from the Bronx
No, I would. Let me just be honest with you. I definitely would be. Yeah, yeah, I'll let you know.

JJ from the Bronx
Getting two rings this year.
Rory Mall
Yeah, that's dope.
JJ from the Bronx
It's only one that really matters, though.
Rory Mall
Did we find out if OJ Mary yet? Nobody's found that out for me, baby.
JJ from the Bronx
D just DM him. He sleep right now, though. He probably sleep right now, but just DM tomorrow.
Baby D
Just hit him up or Jose slipped him something to keep him awake.
Rory Mall
By the way, Peeves looked up, Shower pill is a athletic body wipe that you can use.
Baby D
Oh, okay, Gotcha.
Rory Mall
So that is probably what he was referencing. It's a wipe caused shower pillow.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, so that's what he was talking about. Okay, well, they definitely got those from
Baby D
the project, so I just, you know.
JJ from the Bronx
Nah, he wasn't. Nah, he.
Rory Mall
You said only people from the projects take pills.
Baby D
He wasn't way more than white suburban people.
JJ from the Bronx
If he's not saying it, I'm saying it. Yes, in the projects is popping pills for sure.
Rory Mall
They're buying them from the people in the suburbs, though. Nah.
JJ from the Bronx
Yes. You think is leaving the projects to go to the suburbs to get pills.
Baby D
People right to the lobby to get the pill.
JJ from the Bronx
What are you Talking about I was being Zargan's.
Rory Mall
No one takes more pills than white children. Suburbs. Nope. Like, no. No one takes.
Baby D
Not even close to them.
Rory Mall
Like, it's not. Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Willie Coley style might have something to say about that. Well, he probably lived in the suburbs, too, so he has some money.
Rory Mall
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
So I get it.
Rory Mall
That's all that Xanax and all that. That's. That's white woman. Like, I hate my kids and my husband in the sub in my life in the suburbs, but now my kids are taking my pills and taking them or selling them. That's a real thing.
Baby D
Also, in. In pure Brooklyn fashion. I don't like that Brooklyn's trying to claim Jose from Queens. Everything I see Brooklyn born. No, no, stop it. Brooklyn always does this. He's not from Brooklyn.
Rory Mall
You always advocate for Queen.
Baby D
He's from Flushing. He went to Christ the King. Like, went to PS200.
JJ from the Bronx
Don't get more Queen. Don't get more Queens than Christ the King. I'll tell you that.

Trying to think last time.
JJ from the Bronx
It's just too much going on, man.
Baby D
I probably haven't been since, like, 20.
JJ from the Bronx
And it's so different now, too. Like, they. They change things so much, like security measures and police and it's just. It doesn't seem as, like, you know, open and free as it once was. Before, it was very chill. Very. We could post up right here. Cross the street if we want to, because our homies is on the other side now. You gotta go a couple blocks up to cross over, come back down. It's just. I ain't with all that. I'm just not with all that.
Rory Mall
Are you gonna do anything fun this summer? God damn.
JJ from the Bronx
Travel?
Rory Mall
Yeah. Okay. Other than that.
JJ from the Bronx
No, that's all I want to do is travel. I want to see the world. I don't want to turn up and drink margaritas and throw up and be hungover in the bed the next morning and need a BC pill and all of that.

Like, I could feel myself having to vomit. I'll go to the bathroom.
Rory Mall
When your mouth start watering. Yeah, I'll walk, beeline straight to the bathroom.
JJ from the Bronx
Like, you wouldn't even know I come out the bathroom and threw my guts up. You wouldn't even. You wouldn't be able. Be able to tell.
Rory Mall
I have a hard time throwing up when I'm super, super drunk. Like, my body just. I'm too real of a nigga. So I will go and, like, stick my toothbrush down my throat to make myself throw up so that I don't feel like shit the next morning. Like, I'll force myself to get some of that alcohol out of my system, but just naturally throwing up. I'm not built like that.
JJ from the Bronx
Why do you consume so much alcohol that you would need to force a toothbrush down?
Rory Mall
Well, I don't regularly, but I have before. I have before where it's like I feel my stomach, you know, you feel that feeling in your stomach is sloshing around. I had to get this out of me.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, I don't want that no more.
Baby D
Well, while we're on New York shit, I went to go see Nas on Friday.
Rory Mall
How was that?
Baby D
One of my favorite Nas sets ever, to be quite honest.
Daniel Cormier

And I've seen Nas perform a lot. He hit every record I wanted to hear. The visuals were incredible. Brought out AZ to do Life's a Bitch. Y' all can't clown me anymore With. With my Nas story. When I told him he changed my life in the studio. You guys can't clown me anymore. Cause me and Nas are friends.

JJ from the Bronx
You can't hate on that, baby. You got to respect that. But I know when you do that eyebrow, that raise.
Baby D
I know. I know it, too.
JJ from the Bronx
That's like. That's the hate trying to come out of you. You trying to, like.
Rory Mall
I just wanted to make sure they were actually friends before I started clapping.
Baby D
Friends.
JJ from the Bronx
That's a flex. If Nas know your name, that's a Flex.
Baby D
That's a flex for sure. No, I was actually very shocked that he, like, really remembered me from the few encounters that we. We've had.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, see, that's a flex. With Nas. Know your name, that is. You know what I mean?
Rory Mall
Nas don't know my name. I wish he did.
JJ from the Bronx
Why you want Nas to know your name?
Rory Mall
Why wouldn't. Why. Why wouldn't I? Same reason why Rory would want him to know his name. I wouldn't want. You wouldn't want Nas to know who you are?
JJ from the Bronx
Me?
Rory Mall
Yeah.
Daniel Cormier
Yeah.
Rory Mall
We all would.
JJ from the Bronx
No, but I'm saying, why you, though?
Rory Mall
Why you. Why you want Nas to know who you are?
JJ from the Bronx
Because it was written. Was one of the first albums. I bought my own money.
Rory Mall
Oh, that's beautiful. I grew up. My dad was a big Nas fan
JJ from the Bronx
growing up, so then I would want
Rory Mall
Jay to know my name. My dad was a big J fan growing up. I grew up listening to these people, so Yeah, I didn't pick a who side with Nas and Jay Z. I think he picked J side. I ain't gonna lie.
Baby D
Well, I mean, I. I picked a side on Friday after Jay Z kicked me out personally out of A section. And Nas, no money. I'm on. I'm. Yo, it's one mic over here. Queensbridge.
JJ from the Bronx
Big Queensbridge.
Rory Mall
I'll pick the kind of out, baby.
Colin Coward

JJ from the Bronx
That's Rory picking up a condom.
Baby D
You know how n picking up someone. Yo, you're nasty.
Rory Mall
Yeah, I'm just saying that's how much you love Nas. You know Nas. Shame.
Baby D
Of course I love Nas. But no, it was just. I don't know if he's done that set before, but he literally hit every major part of his career in a perfect way. Like, I like the condensed set over a two hour set. Like, he, he hit B side stuff and every A side I wanted to hear. It was. It was a really, really good show. And whoever did the visuals, Nas keep them because they, they smoke that.
Rory Mall
Did he perform Uchiwale?
Baby D
He did, yeah.
Rory Mall
Oh, I would have passed out.
Baby D
Yeah, he did the first verse and I forgot what they cut to right away. But yeah, he gave. He gave a little pause. Taste of Uchiwale.
JJ from the Bronx
I love that I gotta be crazy, like being like Nas and performing that record now in your life, Uchiwale, because you know, you. That's like you, you reliving shit that you said so many years ago. You're like, I gotta say that again. I don't even believe that anymore. I don't even think that way anymore. Like, I mean, that gotta be one of the toughest thing as like an iconic mc. Like, I have to actually say lyrics that I don't even. Like, I don't even think or feel like that anymore. And it's one of my most loved songs. Like, what do you think?
Baby D
Jungle and Horse and Jungle had way nastier.
JJ from the Bronx
No, I know, that's what I'm saying. So it's like, that gotta be one of the, like, toughest things about being a MC is like, damn, I don't wanna. I don't want to rap that song no more, man. I mean, I got daughters now. Like, you know what I'm saying?
Baby D
Like, well, Hova did Big Pimpin Over. I forgot what beat at Ruth's Picnic. Like, have you. When was the last time you listened to big pimping? It's like what hov is actually saying.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, that's.
Baby D
It's crazy.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
Like, it's crazy what he's saying in that song.
JJ from the Bronx
That gotta be one of the toughest things. Is the MC getting older, man. Like, I don't want to do this record, man. I can't perform this no more. That. And at what point do you say, I'm not performing that record no more? Even though it's one of your most loved records in your catalog? Like, do you ever get to that point? Like, I'm not doing that.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Yeah.
Baby D
To all you hip hop purists out there, out of every song that Nas performed, you owe me went the craziest.
JJ from the Bronx
Really?
Baby D
I don't know if it was the crowd. I don't know if it was because it was a FIFA international crowd. And I'm sure you owe me did
JJ from the Bronx
well globally, but you owe me going off at the FIFA crazy.
Baby D
I think he went from Uchiwale into you owe me.
Rory Mall
I don't. I never understood when y' all always said that people hate it. You owe me. I'm like, growing up, everyone loved you owe me. I didn't know that was a thing.
Baby D
I didn't find that out till 12. Twitter that people hated you on me. That was the sound, though.
JJ from the Bronx
How did y' all.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
What.
Rory Mall
That song is perfect.
Baby D
And he.
Daniel Cormier
He got.
Baby D
You know, he put the science in there too. Like 40 acres, the blacks on a hit record.
Rory Mall
Yeah.
Baby D
Yeah, he gave it nice.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, he kept it nice. It was. It had a groove to it, but he kept it. Nas for sure. He definitely gave us the knowledge for sure.
Rory Mall
It's small knowing how to perfectly know to do the beat.
Baby D
That's killing me. Like, he.
Rory Mall
He autistic.
Baby D
You know how hard it is to get in the hardest.
JJ from the Bronx
That's Karel or Timberland. That's similar, right?
Baby D
Your rendition sounds more Pharrell, but it is similar. That's very Neptune's.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, that's Neptune. That's why I'm like, is that Pharrell or Tim?
Club 520 Host
Okay.
Colin Coward
Yeah.
Baby D
But now you owe me went nuts. Like, yeah. It was cool to hear. It ain't hard to tell, but everyone got out of their seats when you owe me came on.
JJ from the Bronx
That's crazy.
Baby D
But, yeah, Shout out to Massfield ran into all the people we gave tickets to, which was. Which was really cool, too. Oh, that's dope. And I didn't even know they. They gave the people we gave Tickets to. They gave them the naming pass. They was on the field with me.
JJ from the Bronx
That's fire. That's right. That's how I should.
Baby D
No, no, I was so happy.
JJ from the Bronx
Let the fans experience that, man. Let them experience that.
Baby D
Yeah, it was really, really cool. And I wish they do more concerts there. Like, perfect venue for that dope. Yeah. And just to know, like, I'm standing where Mall's birthday twin dominated was. Was cool.
JJ from the Bronx
Come on. Did you feel the press? Yeah. Come on, man. Serena. Me and Serena. This is Serena coming back.
Rory Mall
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Why wait?
Baby D
Like, like Tyson coming back or like.
JJ from the Bronx
No, she's coming out of retirement.
Baby D
She's playing. Saudis aren't like paying her for just the exhibition.
JJ from the Bronx
No, no, she's playing.
Baby D
Okay, listen, I would never doubt Serena Williams.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, I thought I read that that she was coming out of retirement.
Rory Mall
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Serena Williams has officially returned to professional tennis at age 44, nearly four years after stepping away. She launched a comeback at the HSBC Championships at Queens Club in London and has continued a campaign by partnering with Karolina Muchova for doubles play at the Berlin Open. Okay.
Rory Mall
Oh, she had to exit the tournament early after her doubles partner Victoria Mboko sustained a knee injury.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, wow.
Rory Mall
Yeah, she came back. She had to exit early.
Baby D
Damn. 19 year old can't keep up.
JJ from the Bronx
Injuries are injuries. You know that. Joking.
Baby D
But now, did you catch any of the. The MMA stuff? Nah, I just, I just saw the Trump Dana White entrance and I could not believe that this was real and this is our country.
JJ from the Bronx
It's insane that they were fighting at the White House.
Baby D
I'm not here to make any political or be like, yo, why they shouldn't do this, I don't care. It's just, it's weird. This is our country.
JJ from the Bronx
This is America.
Rory Mall
America fighting the White House lawn is insane.
Baby D
They walk. Dan White and Trump walked from the Oval Office to the Octagon. That was the green room,
JJ from the Bronx
yo, the war room. And the green room is crazy.
Baby D
Like, like where Bill Cling was getting sucked off is where they were wrapping their hands.
Rory Mall
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Come on, man. Yeah, it, man. This is America. Why not?
Baby D
It's. I mean, hey, man, get it how you live. And not to say that if, if somebody gave me tickets to this, I, I would go, oh, it looked so. I'm not here to judge anyone that went. I just, this is just nuts. That, like, this is. I just feel like that area of D.C. has things to do right now.
JJ from the Bronx
Who was that? Is he looking at the. The Declaration of Independence? What is he looking at? Yo, that is that is so funny.
Baby D
It's a good Christian boy right there.
Rory Mall
This is so crazy.
Baby D
It's insane.
JJ from the Bronx
I mean, it's kind of ill, though.
Baby D
Again, I'm not here to hate on it, though.
JJ from the Bronx
Like. Like, as a fighter, that. That's definitely, like, gotta be one of your biggest moments. Like, yo, fighting at the White House, throwing punches, walking past the President.
Baby D
Every president that's ever.
JJ from the Bronx
Yo, this is crazy. Nah, this is. Wow.
Baby D
Oh, my God.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, okay. Okay, that makes sense then.
Rory Mall
Oh, that makes it make sense if
JJ from the Bronx
he's the only American champion right now. Yeah.
Baby D
Walking past slave owners with the American flag wrapped around you to then go fight another man in front of people is the most American thing I've ever seen in my life.
JJ from the Bronx
This is America. And then dapping up the. Come on, we gotta dap.
Baby D
I'm not saying it's good. I'm just telling you that that is the most American thing I've ever seen. This is sick.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. Walking through the White House.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
This is sick.
JJ from the Bronx
Walking through the White House with flip flops is crazy.
Baby D
I mean, after January 6th, I think this was the next step. No.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, yeah, we. Come on. Where else will we go?
Colin Coward
Look at what.
Baby D
Look at what our troops are looking at.
JJ from the Bronx
Yo, this is crazy, okay?
Baby D
If Iran doesn't think they have the upper hand at this point, I don't know what to tell you. Bomb him now.
JJ from the Bronx
Wow.
Baby D
But I mean, I guess shout out to you.
JJ from the Bronx
I mean, listen. I'm not. Listen. That's some. That's some iconic, though, as a fighter, for sure. That's some pretty iconic.
Baby D
Outside of. Mitch, do you think the Knicks go to the White House? Yeah, I don't think so.
Rory Mall
I think their owner makes them go.
JJ from the Bronx
I think they go. They all go.
Baby D
Dolan can't make them go.
Rory Mall
Why did he.
Baby D
I don't think it's in the. I highly doubt in the fine print in their contract that in the event we win, you gotta. You have to go to the White House. I highly, highly doubt that's in.
Rory Mall
No, I don't think that's in the
Baby D
contract either, because we've seen plenty of teams say no when we know the owner of the team was very much a Republican that loved Trump. Did you see Trump's tweet or Truth Social, whatever the. He uses?
Rory Mall
He. He called. He called Mitch a patriot.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
He said.
Baby D
He said, congrats to og, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Kat, and the true patriot, Mitchell Robinson.
JJ from the Bronx
That's right.
Rory Mall
Oh, Mitchell Robinson didn't ask for any of this, bro.
Baby D
And great patriot Mitchell Robinson.
JJ from the Bronx
Yo, we live in a simulation in great patriot Mitchell. He been award that we don't know about. He can't even stay out of foul trouble. I know he ain't been.
Baby D
I love the definition of a true patriot to Donald Trump is if you like him or not.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, Come on, man. True patriot. That's crazy as fuck.
Baby D
There could be a marine that died overseas that was a Democrat and he wouldn't be a true patriot to Donald Trump.
JJ from the Bronx
Also tonight, a superstar was born. His name is Jalen Brunson. And there are others. And there are others, including, including
Baby D
Karl Anthony Towns, OG and a great patriot, Mitchell Robinson.
JJ from the Bronx
Make America.
Rory Mall
Yo, naming like naming Mitch and not like Josh Hart.
Baby D
I'm saying you left out the. The starting five of Hart and Bridges and Mitch. I love Mitch. That rebound was one of the greatest rebounds in Nick history.
JJ from the Bronx
Huge. But the great Patriots.
Baby D
But skipping over the starting five, great rebound. Go to the back, the backup center and the great patriot. Yeah, because he loves me and trucks.
JJ from the Bronx
That's a fact.
Rory Mall
You know what the crazy is? I think it's a rumor that like, I don't even think that's confirmed. I think that was like a rumor or like a hoax that Mitchell Robinson is like a Trumper.
Baby D
Like I don't know if he is or not, but judging by his Instagram, I think it's. He's a Trumper that Mitch with 45.
Rory Mall
He is. Okay.
Baby D
You saw Mitch's face when he found out he could bring his truck to the parade. He said he even talked like Donald Trump in that. He said, and I'm being told I can bring my truck.
Rory Mall
Oh my God.
Baby D
Everybody wants me to bring my truck.
Rory Mall
That's funny.

JJ from the Bronx
Rory Mall Baby D, this is JJ from the Bronx. Question have you ever had a significant other get y' all into some type of show that you never thought y' all y' all would be into? So right now, that's Happening with me, with Love Island. And I'm not gonna lie, I never thought I'd be the type of to be into some like this, but Love island is fire. I don't know if y' all watch it, but they're up to season eight right now. But that is fire. That entertaining, that is toxic. And I love that. Like, we have watch parties for that. We got weed and alcohol laid out, snacks laid out, and every night, nine o', clock, we watching Love Island. And that shit is entertaining. So I just want to know, has that ever happened with y' all before with anybody that y' all dealt with? Peace. I got a question, though. Is he talking about weed and snacks laid out for him and the homies or him and his lady?
Rory Mall
I'm sure it's him and his girl.
JJ from the Bronx
Okay. Cause laying out weed and snacks for the homies to watch love album is crazy. That is fucking crazy.
Baby D
Charcuterie.
Club 520 Host
Yeah.
Baby D
Like some celery.
JJ from the Bronx
But nah, that's haze. You know what I'm saying? That's Hayes right there. Like, yo, what? Yeah.
Baby D
The Reggie is to die for.
Club 520 Host
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. Oh, the Reggie is amazing. Have you had the Reggie? It's amazing.
Baby D
One of my favorite tweets is Good Pussy. Will have you asking, so what's Mr. Big's real name?
Club 520 Host
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. Yeah, definitely. Women have put me onto a lot of shows, like, to the point that I.
Baby D
There's been so many. I can't.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
The amount of time women put me on shows that I have no business watching. Like, happens all the time.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. But I haven't gotten into Love island yet. But I keep hearing that I should start. I'm hearing this great show, and I was against. What was the one I was on? What I got clay.
Rory Mall
Love is Blind.
JJ from the Bronx
Love is Blind.
Baby D
Yeah. But Love Is Blind walk. So Love island could run like, we thought Love is Blind was crazy. And this was the only next step. Is this
JJ from the Bronx
Love Island USA executive producer dies in Fiji during season 8 production?
Baby D
Yeah. Happened a few hours ago. They just said they had a health emergency or something.
JJ from the Bronx
Wow. Okay. Damn. Sorry to hear that, Baby D. Have you started Love Island? Are you into it?
Rory Mall
No.
Baby D
I watched a few episodes of the first season when it started, and I. But I'm cool.
JJ from the Bronx
I got it. I'm gonna watch it. I hear great things about it.
Rory Mall
I am so. I. What great things can you hear?
JJ from the Bronx
I heard great things about Love is Blind.
Rory Mall
I'm trying really hard not to insult the listeners who listen to this, but that's why I'M really trying to think of a measured way to say this. That show is. There is no point.
Baby D
There's no point to this show, to our listeners that watch it. There is nothing wrong with watching. Turning your brain off sometimes to watch some absolute garbage. I've done it before, too. Love island is next level. Though Love is blind, at least has some structure.
JJ from the Bronx
All right, so what is the premise of Love Island?
Baby D
Everyone get herpes.
Rory Mall
Stop. They go on there, and everybody's looking for love. Everybody's looking for love. They. They always have to have a bikini on or trunks. Like, they don't wear clothes the entire show on the island. Okay, so they're wearing bikini this entire time, and they're like. It's just. Every time I turn it on, this is. What's the conversation that's going on. Hey, can I talk to you? Like, I kind of, like, really, really liked Josh, and, like, I saw you, like, over there with OG so I, like, don't understand why you were, like, talking to Josh. Like, I feel like you're disrespecting me and you're, like, not being a girls girl. And then they do a challenge, and it's like, who can make Josh get the hardest? And then all the girls are, like, kissing Josh and grinding on him. It's. I'm like, this is not. There's no way that y' all watch this. Like, I can't.
JJ from the Bronx
When does auditions open up? Like, that's what I need to. Like, who could get me the hardest? Like, that's what's going on. I could do that in doctor on the Island. Hell, yeah. Why not?
Baby D
Yeah, but would you be the guy that wears a T shirt in the Pool album?
Rory Mall
So you can't wear a T shirt?
JJ from the Bronx
No, I'm not wearing no T shirt in the pool. You kidding me? The out of here, yo.
Baby D
See them all. One of those weird mics that they wear would be the funniest thing on
JJ from the Bronx
earth if that's what's going on. Girls trying to see who.
Rory Mall
Who can get literally just making out, kissing. Like, pull up a Love island challenge, Rya. And again, no disrespect to the people who watch it. I can understand why you watch it. I just. I can't watch TV like that.
JJ from the Bronx
All right, well, we. We might have to go to the next open audition, though.
Rory Mall
Like, Love island and Baddies is the same. Like, they have the same audience to me now.
JJ from the Bronx
Baddies.
Baby D
Well, I mean, I. I lied on the show and said that mall was the reason I got to watch Patties. Because the pod content this and that. No girl got me to watch baddies and then I gotta.
JJ from the Bronx
Baddies is crazy.
Rory Mall
This.
JJ from the Bronx
Like, I love baddies. Don't talk about my baddies like that, baby.
Rory Mall

JJ from the Bronx

Rory Mall

Rory Mall
But I mean, you will probably like it.
Daniel Cormier

JJ from the Bronx

Rory Mall

JJ from the Bronx
Okay.
Baby D
Yeah, the entire thing is definitely softcore porno.
JJ from the Bronx
So this is just the newest season.
Rory Mall
Yes.
JJ from the Bronx
Okay. Yeah, I've seen Love island, but you win.

You win by you. Because you're. The goal is to couple up, up. And if you are the couple, if you get coupled up and by the end, you're. You don't get voted off because every week or something, they vote people off. Whatever. You get coupled up. If you're in the final couples and people vote for you the most, like, you get the most votes to win. That's you and your couple. Y' all win. But you have to be coupled up. You can't be a single.
Baby D
That is cuck.
Rory Mall
And then the. The last. The last thing they ask you is, hey, you guys won. Do you keep the. Do you keep the reward money all to yourself or do you split it with this person? Basically.
JJ from the Bronx
Okay.

No, that's not what Santana. Santana ain't playing. And put the tip in Santana playing out the remote. No, we ain't doing that. That's.
Rory Mall
It was. Did you guys see Santana and Cam Newton's interview? That is the funniest shit I've ever seen. Fucking Cam Newton looked at Santana and was like, like, do I look like I'm gay? Like, do you think I'm gay?
JJ from the Bronx
He asked Santana that.
Rory Mall
I swear to God.
JJ from the Bronx
Why would he ask. Why would he ask him that?
Rory Mall
Because Santana was talking about low down niggas and I Think that Cam asked him that? Because Cam has heard.
Baby D
I'm sure he's been accused.
Rory Mall
Yeah, he's been accused of being gay a lot, so.
JJ from the Bronx
Cam Newton.
Rory Mall
Yes.
JJ from the Bronx
Really?
Baby D
Hell, yeah.
Rory Mall
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Not Shannon Sharp.
Rory Mall
Him too.
Baby D
But him too.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. Shannon Sharp. To me, I think if I was to hear like, yo, he. I heard he's gay. If Cam. I'll be like, I don't. I don't think Cam is. I don't see that.
Baby D
But I mean, he's. It's been a thing.
JJ from the Bronx
Is it because of the way he
Baby D
like his aesthetic, how he moves? Yeah. And. And you guys are on that whole if you mad women, you're gay thing.
JJ from the Bronx
So if you can't stay faithful.
Rory Mall
Santana was like, even with your little bow tie and your little jump, your little bodysuit and your legs crossed and stuff, like, you don't get me gay.
JJ from the Bronx
That he had a bow tie and a bodysuit.
Rory Mall
He had on duggeries.
JJ from the Bronx
Like, oh, that's not a bodysuit. He had an overalls. That's not a bodysuit.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
It's not.
JJ from the Bronx
But Santana, you said a bow tie and a bodysuit.
Rory Mall
Santana said, bro.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, but if a wearing a bow tie in a bodysuit, he might be gay.
Baby D
But calling overall a bodysuit is hilarious. That's hilarious. You wish.
Rory Mall
A little both sides and your legs cross and your little bodysuit on. Like, you don't get me gay. That had me crying, bro.
Baby D
And also Santana, hilarious.
Rory Mall
Santana was saying that he trans men. He was like, I'll trans men. Like, because he had asked him if he ever, like, a girl before, and he was like. I mean, like, he was like, I hunched at my homegirl before, but not really like, but I fuck trans men. And Cam Newton could not, like, put together with a trans. He was like, oh, like Caitlyn Jenner. He was like, that's not a. That's a trans woman. That's not a trans man. And he just kept, like, naming trans women. He's like, no, it's the opposite. Like a woman that was so turned into a man.
Baby D
Okay.
Rory Mall
Yes. That's a trans man.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. So if the man. If we was born male, you would be a trans woman?
Rory Mall
Yes. If you transition, you transition to a woman.
Baby D
What is it you were born. What does my homegirl mean?
Rory Mall
I think he, like, like, you know, took his clothes out. I guess they were in a room with a man that they were trying to fuck. So him and his homegirl, like, hunched to like, make the man comfortable people.
Baby D
But I don't know what hunch means.
Rory Mall
You know what hunch means? You're from New York. You know exactly what hunch means.
JJ from the Bronx
I don't hump. I'm guessing it's something.
Rory Mall
Yeah. You've never heard hunch before?
JJ from the Bronx
No.
Rory Mall
Oh, wow.
Baby D
I hunched somebody. I've heard hump somebody.
Rory Mall
Yeah, it's the same thing.
Club 520 Host
Okay.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, I'm still on humped.
Baby D
Yeah. When did hunched happen?
Rory Mall
Out. When I was a young girl was called hunching.
JJ from the Bronx
For real?
Rory Mall
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
I never heard that.
Rory Mall
Oh, wow. That's crazy.
JJ from the Bronx
Humping. Maybe somebody was trying to.
Baby D
I thought they were on the tri sex like that. But. But hunch knob. Never.
Rory Mall
No, but I don't think. I don't think it was dry. I think it was like. I think they were.
Baby D
Like, when I think hunched, I think bending over. That's where my mind went.
Rory Mall
Hunching.
JJ from the Bronx
Okay.
Club 520 Host
All right.
Rory Mall
Different areas, but yeah, that was a very funny interview. You guys should watch it.
Baby D
I mean, listen, I laughed when Dame Dash was trying to figure out why Jason Lee was gay. So I'm sure I'll enjoy this because that's still might be my favorite segment of 2026. Like, yo, you've seen a woman before, right?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, I've seen women before. Absolutely, yes.
Rory Mall
Jason Lee used to get mad.
Baby D
I mean, clearly he the whole deus on that show that he was on.
JJ from the Bronx
She were always. So me and Damaris, our theory kind of checks out.
Baby D
No, he the guy on the day. This is what I'm saying.
JJ from the Bronx
But he was dating a lot of women before too, though.
Rory Mall
Dating a lot of women. I'm treating them like
Club 520 Host
me.
Rory Mall
Me and Ma be right. We not always right, but we're rarely wrong. Well, I'm rarely wrong. He'd be wrong a lot.
Baby D
So you guys still think that if a man a lot of women he's good?
Rory Mall
We think if you can't stop women can't stop cheating when you have at home and you're rude and ignorant to women and treat women like. Yes, I think that there's a high
Baby D
probability that's your gay.
Rory Mall
We always had that in there.
Baby D
Treating women like. I didn't agree to that side of it.
JJ from the Bronx
No, I'm not saying you agreed to it, but we always had that in. That was part of it.
Baby D
Yeah. Well, I mean. Or you're just a straight dirtbag.
JJ from the Bronx
That too.
Rory Mall
I mean, we said high probability. We didn't mean that automatically means high probability. Okay.
Baby D
Does that. Does that work on the women's side, too?
Rory Mall
If you treat men like and a
Baby D
bunch of men, you're secretly a lesbian. That girl is usually bisexual, though.
JJ from the Bronx
Or.
Rory Mall
I don't like that y' all put that whole label on bisexuals.
Baby D
I hate who put a whole label on bisexual.
Rory Mall
Y' all do that a lot. Both of y' all do that a lot. Ma has always done that. When we said. When we have always said that.
Baby D
No, I do not think that when
Rory Mall
we have always said that Ma should date bisexuals. Ma always had, like, that whole attachment to. There was always that little underlying that bisexuals were hoes. That was a thing. We've already had that argument the whole first podcast. You. As far as what you just said was the girls who usually fuck men a lot are usually bisexual. That's what you just. You literally just said. That's that. You just said that.
Baby D
Yeah, well, two things can be. I'm not saying all bisexual women are hoes, but I'm saying women that a lot of men are hypersexual, and a lot of times hypersexual people are bisexual.
Rory Mall
All the women I know. Well, me personally, just from being around.
Baby D
I'm not saying every bisexual is.
Rory Mall
No, I get it. But what I'm saying, all the women that I know that are super hypersexual when it comes to men, and a lot of men are not bisexual. They're actually super straight. They love dick, hence them keep men.
JJ from the Bronx
Can I ask a deeper question?
Rory Mall
What's up?
JJ from the Bronx
How many of them were molested?
Rory Mall
Well, I wouldn't know that. I don't have their.
Baby D
You don't have that station records sitting right there.
Rory Mall
Sitting right there.
JJ from the Bronx
No, I'm saying if it's your friends, and I think that y' all would have that conversation. You said your friends are a lot of your friends.
Rory Mall
Yeah, but people don't really talk about the fact that they've been molested. And even when you are friends with them, that's usually something you reserve for like a therapist.
Baby D
It's only me, me and Ms. Pat.
JJ from the Bronx
It's always funny to me how people would tell a complete stranger that, but wouldn't tell their closest friends that.
Rory Mall
No, because a complete. Because a complete stranger, it's. Once your friend knows that, you can't unknow that, like, they will always see that. It's kind of like why you shouldn't tell your friends that your partner cheated on you. They can't unhear that information.
Baby D
What, you. You think that's odd? I think that's kind of like.
JJ from the Bronx
I think that's.
Baby D
I think that's more of the main point of therapy outside of them being a professional in that you think that
JJ from the Bronx
if I was a lot of things I can't.
Baby D
I. I'd be uncomfortable sharing with my friend. Because now we have to live in that world where you know that information. And now I'm telling somebody that I know it's going to be sacred here, and they don't even know me like that.
Daniel Cormier
That.
Baby D
So we can talk about it in a different way.
JJ from the Bronx
I just never understood that my homeboy that I knew. My homeboy that I knew since the third grade, if I would. Had been molested, he would know rather than some. Some random guy that I just met, it's because he has a nice office on Madison Avenue. Just gonna go in there. Hey. Yeah. I was touched when I was.
Baby D
I went professional. And you can unpack what's happened to you because of that.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
That's an easier conversation to have with somebody that you don't know to deal with those types of things.
JJ from the Bronx
I'm not saying it's not easy. I'm saying for my closest friend that knows everything else about me to not know that, but then to me to go to a therapist and just tell a therapist that in the first day of meeting a therapist.
Baby D
All right, well, it would be hard
Rory Mall
for you to understand because you haven't been molested. So you don't know the shame and the things that come with that. You. You wouldn't. You wouldn't understand.
JJ from the Bronx
Shame from, like, the shame of me being. Shameful that it happened or shame from me telling my friend and my friend, like, shaming me for it happened?
Rory Mall
Shame from shaming. The shame you hold inside for him.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, okay. Yeah. But, I mean, that's part of the trauma. But I'm just saying, a lot of traumatic things happen to us away from just sexual assault that we would tell our friends, our close family, you know, cousins, sisters, brothers, whoever, we would tell
Rory Mall
them, but their sexual trauma is a very different type of trauma. The way it sits in you was a very different.
Baby D
This is the guy that says, my friends can't tell me they're hurting. In a breakup, they get 24 hours, and then they have to ship. Imagine me and Maul grew up together. We 16 in the act, legend with the tape deck. This is the guy I'm gonna tell. I was. Yeah, I was touched.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
No, give me. Give me the therapist.
JJ from the Bronx
I would say, let's go kill that. Yeah, that's the friend I am. Where he at tonight?
Boost Mobile Advertiser
We can get.
JJ from the Bronx
That's the friend, I think.
Rory Mall
But sometimes that's. But exactly. And sometimes that's not the The. That sometimes that's not the type of support that you need when you're trying to get over something. You don't need to. Let's go kill that nigga. You don't need. I don't need you to want to do something. I don't need your feelings about the situation. I just need to be able to talk with no reaction. Because when you tell the people that you love or that love you that something happened to you, you are now dealing with their emotions because they love you so much. And when you love somebody, like, if something happens to them, you're hurt as well. I don't. A lot of people don't want to deal with their emotions. I want to deal with the one person I pay to not have emotions about this.
Baby D
And now Maul's gonna question if I'm gay or not.
JJ from the Bronx
No, that's my friend. I wouldn't do that.
Rory Mall
If it was my friend, I wouldn't do that.
JJ from the Bronx
But, Rory,
Baby D
Rory, it's better to. How many overall views have we had in the last five years? I've told that many people about it, so maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I should have kept that to myself. Possibly. But I'm sure you've helped a lot of people that was. It was not. Liberating would be the wrong word. But I've been fine talking about it because I healed from it years before I started podcasting about that type of stuff. But I'm sure there's plenty of people that have liked that I've talked about that, because there's some shit you keep to yourself. So sometimes it's nice to hear somebody be like, yo, happen to me.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Rory Mall
Especially as a. As a man. Because men are. You know, men carry a little bit more shame in that than women do because of. There's an added thing onto it. Yeah, you're a man. Nobody should be able to do this to you. Yeah, whatever.
Baby D
Why is he still living? Like. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Okay? But I mean, there's. There's more important things in the world, like Cardi partying with Quavo. Like, that's what we should be focusing on. Love Island. That's the real stuff.
JJ from the Bronx
Cardi.
Baby D
Iran. Let's put an octagon at the White House.
Rory Mall
House.
JJ from the Bronx
I like it.
Rory Mall
Amen.
JJ from the Bronx
But Jason pop bottles on the White House lawn. No, knock a out on the White House. See, when Jay wanted to pop bottles on the White House lawn, it was cool. You know what I mean? Dana White want to knock people out on the White House lawn. Yeah, like, no, that's kind of crazy.
Baby D
It's crazy. It's. It's crazy.
Rory Mall
They killed my president for 10 suit.
Daniel Cormier
So, you know.
Baby D
Hey, go listen.
Rory Mall
Moves and moves.
Baby D
Can you. Can you imagine what the Republicans would do if anybody said what whoever that dude was said about Michelle Obama on the White House lawn on a microphone? They would lose their minds for sure. This is the problem with America. Like, no, it's lol is when it's on that side. No, they would lose their minds if this was in reverse.
Rory Mall
Amen.
Baby D
Like, lose their minds. But now it's like, why y' all being so sensitive? I hate politics so much. Do they know how crazy they are?
Rory Mall
That's not like.
Baby D
Do you think there's any self awareness of, like, I'm a walking contradiction on both sides?
JJ from the Bronx
No.
Baby D
Okay.
JJ from the Bronx
No, that's.
Baby D
That's unfortunate.
JJ from the Bronx
It's the fun out of it. No, they think they're perfectly fine.
Baby D
They're making like, sound points.
Colin Coward
Yeah.
JJ from the Bronx
Okay, come on now.
Rory Mall
Cool.
JJ from the Bronx
You didn't see where he was taking us with that?
Baby D
No, I didn't. I did not. Not whatsoever. And where did he get that information from?
JJ from the Bronx
Come on.
Baby D
No, I, I'm. I know, I know. Are you guys going to Soulja Boy Rapper University?
Rory Mall
No, I already know how to rap.
Baby D
If anyone should start the Rapper University. Soulja Boy, he started every trend.
JJ from the Bronx
Rapper University. Nice.
Rory Mall
Is it like streamer University?
Baby D
It appears to be.
JJ from the Bronx
Is this real or is this him just throwing something out there?
Rory Mall
No. Applications are now open on the official website.
Baby D
Talk about Big Draco. You think everything he says is law? Okay, that's definitely Evan.
Rory Mall
If I wanted somebody to teach me how to rap, it wouldn't be Soulja Boy now marketing University. Soulja Boy. I'd go.
Baby D
I mean, listen, we used to think Soulja Boy was the worst lyricist in 2026. He's a lyricist to me. The shit we thought was terrible, for sure.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, he looked compared to the.
Baby D
Yeah, he looks like cannabis compared to
JJ from the Bronx
some of these kids. For sure. For sure.
Baby D
Did you guys see Kai's trailer? Yeah, that was great. And maybe we're just such Kai supporters on this pod, but was that not like one of the best put together productions for a trailer?
Rory Mall
All of his productions are well put together. He's amazing.
Baby D
Like, that was fire.
Rory Mall
He's amazing. Kai's amazing.
Baby D
How much do you think that costume?
Rory Mall
It was a lot of money, but he got it.
Baby D
That's better than a movie trailer.
Rory Mall
One stream from him, he got it.
Baby D
That's a fact. That's a Fact. All right, so Kai is coming back, and he's doing his streamer university. Do we know who's involved in that? All the careers he launched, like, is India love.
JJ from the Bronx
I'm sure.
Rory Mall
Yeah, I'm sure he'll have, like, some special guests. I did see something about Jaylen Brown was trying to apply.
Baby D
Would you stay in a dorm room with me if we went to Streaming University? Yeah, like, we were roommates. Yeah, that'd be funny.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, yeah.
Baby D
What if it was bunk beds?
JJ from the Bronx
It couldn't. We couldn't just get, like, just two doubles, like.
Baby D
No, but let's just say that, you know, our application went in late and we had to do the bunk bedroom.
JJ from the Bronx
I don't know, man. Sleeping on the bunk bed is crazy.
Baby D
Pause. Topper, Bottom.
JJ from the Bronx
There's no right answer. No matter what the answer is. Like, none. None of it is the right answer. I'm like, yo, nah, I'm on the bottom. Word. All right.
Rory Mall
I feel like top is the right answer.
Baby D
Okay, well, I don't want to climb up. Like, when I'm tired, climb back down. Y' all know I got a bladder problem. Like, I can't be.
Rory Mall
Yeah, but I don't want nobody farting above me.
JJ from the Bronx
He rises, he does rise. So you want to fart at the bottom of the bunk, because then it's going. Oh, you want to fart at the top of the bunk because you don't want to smell. Okay, got you.
Baby D
What would be our. Our roommate etiquette if we had maybe, like, a young harlot in the room? Would we be like, sock on the door, tie on the door, or just power through?
JJ from the Bronx
Knock. We can't just go back to that. Like, just knock.
Rory Mall
No, knock is that interrupts the flow.
JJ from the Bronx
Whose flow, Yo? Nah, chill. Busy. Right back to my rhythm.
Baby D
Don't give me the sock on the door theory, because I'm just gonna put a sock on the door just to be left alone. Yeah, I'll be in there by myself. That's some, like, Yo, Roy's getting mad. No, he just likes to be alone. I'm definitely putting a sock on the door, but that it would be fun to do Streaming University as a podcast. You think Damaris would sit at our lunch table? I feel like she'd branch off and find other friends.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, for sure she wouldn't find other friends.
Rory Mall
Nigga, just cause you don't like having friends. I like having friends.
JJ from the Bronx
You ain't lived enough yet. You don't even know how crazy that statement is.
Rory Mall
Nah, I ain't gonna lie I be tired of my friends.
JJ from the Bronx
No, we gonna double back to that. That statement. I'm give you 10 years. We gonna double back to that.
Baby D
There's no friends at streaming University. If I can use you for my stream. We friends the moment we can't. We're not friends anymore.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah.
Baby D
And. And add the female gene into that mayhem.
Rory Mall
What's the female gene? The female gene.
Baby D
You're far.
Rory Mall
You're the messiest I know. But what's the female gene?
Baby D
Well, I mean, yeah, Cat daddy won a championship we in right now.
JJ from the Bronx
What. What does that even.
Rory Mall
Sassy winning is what he's saying.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, okay.
Rory Mall
And shout out to. Like, we talked about Pod University before. Shout out to Wheezy who got engaged.
Baby D
Yes.
Rory Mall

Baby D

Rory Mall
I am too. I love when, like, you love when love wins. Yes, when love wins. Podcaster. Like, she was talking. She released a clip where she was like, everybody always like, said, like, because of what I do for a living, like, nobody would ever love me and things like that. And those are thoughts that I've had too. So I'm just. I'm very happy for her and happy that she's speaking out on. Because that's not. That's. That is something that we think about, especially women who say crazy. I'm Mike. Who have a crazy digital footprint. We do think that sometimes. Sometimes this might be too much for someone. So I love that she's being easy, man. In totality.
Baby D
No. And he's. He's a good dude. And he's. He's cool as too. Like, I. You know, you can look at a relationship and kind of go like, they'll have a great five years and it's probably gonna.
Daniel Cormier
It's.
Baby D
They're gonna spend the rest of their lives together. Like, you can tell the two of them like, that they met the right people.
JJ from the Bronx
That's dope.
Baby D
So I'm very happy for Wheezy.
Rory Mall
Yeah. Next. No.
Baby D
Where do you meet people?
JJ from the Bronx
Lavender Room.
Baby D
That was a real question. Where do you meet people?
Rory Mall
Whoever.
JJ from the Bronx
Social media. Social media streaming University. Love Island.
Rory Mall
See, this is everywhere.
JJ from the Bronx
Mad places to meet people at.
Rory Mall
He's too old for Love Island.
JJ from the Bronx
But the Nick Parade.
Baby D
I'm definitely too old for love. And I'm too, like, white. I couldn't you think me and Fiji for 12 hour shoots?
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah. Your girl on Love island be cheating on y'. All. You can't even go outside and see what she doing. Smash.
Baby D
I lose every girl just because I couldn't leave the.
JJ from the Bronx
You can't leave.
Baby D
I can't leave the shade.
JJ from the Bronx
Yo, what's she doing over there by the tree?
Baby D
Tell me what she doing. I'm asking producer like, yo, can we shoot this one under the palm tree? Night time.
JJ from the Bronx
You going. You going to win, though. Night time.
Baby D
Oh, night time. And I got a good rest.
JJ from the Bronx
Yeah, you've been inside all day.
Rory Mall
Rory is sacrificing sunburn to see what the doing for sure.
JJ from the Bronx
Oh, yeah, we've seen him in the Under Armour long sleeve. You know, he put that on immediately and put his Crocs on and go looking for his queen. She said she was just going to get a colada.
Rory Mall
Can I pull you for a chat?
Baby D
It's never happened before. Though I did do the kayak thing in St. Thomas with Kia, and I definitely had a long sleeve.
JJ from the Bronx
Absolutely. You said, can you pull. What?
Rory Mall
No, I was. A Love island thing. Can I pull you for a chat? It's a little violent thing.
Baby D
Oh, yeah, That's. That's the thing. Right. But I don't know. I could see more. I think Maul might actually find love in some situation like that.
Colin Coward
That.
Baby D
Because it's not. It's not working in reality. You have to go on a reality show.
JJ from the Bronx
What you mean it's not working in reality? Settling down. How do you know I'm not settled down?
Baby D
That's true.
JJ from the Bronx
All right, then shut the up.
Rory Mall
Are you settled down? Huh? Are you settled down?
JJ from the Bronx
No.
Boost Mobile Advertiser
Okay.
JJ from the Bronx
Just wanted to ask how you know
Rory Mall
