New Rory & MAL - Episode 119 | Jordan And Pippen Are Back!!!
Episode Date: November 15, 2022The guys are back from their Atlanta studio, courtesy of Rockstar Energy, following another live show Sunday night. First, we learn that Rory and Mal made one fan in particular comfortable enough to c...ome out of the closet (not during the show). Then we were joined by a “horny poet” and his girlfriend and finally we were blessed by the ultimate power couple, B Simone and Moneybag Mal. DJ Drama surprised everyone during the Versuz battle to face off against the guys and to no surprise he won handily. The team’s night didn’t end after the show. Sunday also happened to be Julian’s birthday! The team celebrated at what Rory referred to as a “truck stop with stripper poles.” We promise it was still better than the London stripper experience. ‘Her Loss’ seemed to be the soundtrack of the weekend and the first week numbers reflected our sentiments. Earlier in the week, Rory joined Nas and Hitboy at the KDIII release party and somehow missed Andre 3000. Another legend Dave Chappelle returned to SNL for a moving monologue, while LeBron freestyles his way through a few more lies. In adjacent basketball news, the iconic Jordan/Pippen combo are back.

Be very respectful.

Be mindful,
be respectful and be out in a lot of time.
Yes.
Listen, man.
Atlanta might be home soon.
Wow.
Yeah.
I'm getting there.
So how you feel it?
I am.
And you know what's funny?
It's freezing in Atlanta now.
And that was actually...
You felt like home.
It kind of made me.
I mean, because I've always talked about like we were walking down Park Avenue today, didn't it?
Like usually I'm always saying like maybe Houston or Austin or Dallas or something would probably be where I would move if I left New York.
But, you know, obviously with my skin pigmentation and lack there of melanin.
Yeah.
In need of SPF at all moments.
It's not the safest place for a pale Irishman like myself to go.
Atlanta now with global warming, it's fucking freezing here.
Oh yeah, you can thrive down there.
You can thrive.
It feels like the Caucasus Mountains outside.
It's like New York.
work with space.
Yeah, it's like everywhere's Central Park.
Atlanta is,
Atlanta definitely feels like home.
We had a great show last night at Center Stage.
Shout out to everybody that came out to the show.
Well, no, Saturday night.
Sunday night, excuse me.
What is today?
Yeah, fuck it, man.
Today's Monday.
It's okay.
We had a great show last night Sunday at Center State.
Shout to everybody came out.
Shout out to DJ Drama.
A lot of fun.
Be Simone, Megan.
Shout to Sahai.
Saari.
everybody that came out
showed us love,
support.
Page.
Page.
Just naming people
that were there now.
Yeah, man.
That's, you know.
Ed and everybody
in the green room?
Who was the young lady that
Karen?
Karen.
Oh, she was great, man.
A point of contact for the night.
She gives Karen's a good name.
She was a good Karen.
She was a good Karen over there
and the stage.
Shout out of everybody that came out.
We had a great time.
The audience was amazing.
The couples we pulled on stage were amazing.
All right.
I don't know if this is going to be problematic.
No, just going.
It is. Whenever you ask if it's going to be problematic.
Do you think Twitter owes us an apology?
Twitter owes us an apology.
I like where you're going with it, even though I don't know where you're going with it.
Are we allowed to ask for apologies?
I don't ask for apologies.
I demand them.
I demand an apology to whoever out there owes me one.
Do you think you get a sincere apology when you demand one?
No. You never get a sincere apology.
Okay, so a few weeks back, the Twitter sphere,
some of the Instagram streets
had put some adjectives on our name.
We know what canceling is and the lack thereof of it.
I know where he's going with us.
Some adjectives were thrown.
I'm never mad at people trying to cancel us.
Oh, yeah.
But it's when you put certain words next to my name,
it does bother me a bit.
Yeah.
I believe we were, and for those that don't know,
we did a sketch with Jay Alphonse.
Shout to Jay Alphonse.
Congratulations to him and his wife.
They got married.
I'm going to pull this card.
Y'all just weren't smart enough to get,
I didn't think it was that hard to understand
what we were getting at in that sketch,
but it came across to a lot of idiots as homophobic.
And they called us a lot of really mean names.
They did.
As far as our stance.
They did.
They had a lot of evil things to say to us.
Specifically the gay community.
They said we were homophobic.
They said we were insensitive assholes.
Yes, out of touch.
We were stupid, out of touch.
All kinds of things they called us.
I even feel like they called us the F word.
Oh, absolutely.
I feel like those were in.
in there somewhere behind those hidden,
which is such a weird thing to call someone you're
claiming is homophobic. Exactly.
But we will have, you know, Twitter's
fair, that last night
we had a lovely couple
come to the meet and greet.
Yes. A gentleman, oh,
who's the gentleman's name? I know his partner's
name is Justin. Wow, you homophobe.
You don't even remember their names. No, his partner's name.
You don't even look at them as people.
Just content?
No, his, just content.
You're just content.
to me.
His partner's name was Justin.
I forgot the other gentleman's name, but he came up to me and Rory at the meet and greet
and said, um, biracial couple too.
By racial, I don't think, no.
Interracial.
They were inter, wait, what is, there's difference?
Look, whatever, man.
They're in love.
Yeah, right?
We didn't get their 23 and meet charts.
We don't know if they were by racial.
We don't know.
Interracial couple.
Interracial couple.
And they, they came up to Rory myself and he told us how watching the podcast,
listen to the podcast and listening to Rory and myself talk over the weeks.
made him comfortable with coming out to his friends and his family about being a homosexual.
And me and Rory looked at each other and was like, excuse me?
Because if you sit down and read the comments and you feed it in the things,
you really feel like it's a consensus that everybody feels like this about Rory myself.
Oh, they're homophobes.
They're this, they don't care.
And it's like, we know we're not.
But sometimes you just need comments all day, not even close.
But when you read these comments, you're like, damn, like, do we say things that make
people feel like this.
And for that gentleman and his boyfriend to come up to us last night and tell us,
you know, exactly how comfortable we made him with coming out to his friends and his family,
that was the all the confirmation we needed.
And we're like, we're not homopholes.
You think you saw the jail Fonskitt was like, I got to call my mom.
Yeah.
Saw the skit and he was like, you know what?
This is it.
I'm coming out today.
This is it.
I'm not hiding anymore.
So we want to thank, first of all, thank those guys for coming out.
They were great.
They came on stage.
kicked with us.
His explanation was cool, though, because he was suggesting, you know, as most of us in the
era that we grew up in, sometimes, you know, people older than us, it was a homophobic environment.
Oh, absolutely.
Words were thrown around.
It wasn't the easiest place for someone to come out as gay.
He was saying, like, he grew up in that type of environment, knows we did and saw how
comfortable we are with that community, how much we don't care.
Yeah.
And he was like, that shit made me feel like, if y'all are so cool with it,
I think all the people around me will be cool with it because I was so scared because I grew up in that environment, they wouldn't accept me.
Listen, we do know and we look back at a lot of things we used to say as younger, younger guys, younger kids.
We could look back and see how if somebody amongst our crew were homosexual, that it would like, ah, it would probably be hard for them to be themselves and admit like, hey, guys, I know we crack jokes and things like that, but I'm actually gay.
But, you know, as men now, knowing what we know, it's just absolutely stupid.
but for anybody to, you know, look at other people and how they love and who they love
and feel some type of way about it.
Love who you love.
Be yourself.
Be who you are.
That's one thing that we stand on over here.
We are who we are.
We do what we want to do.
We have fun.
We respect each other.
We respect ourselves, most importantly.
And we just, you know, live life and have fun, man.
And it was just beautiful to have that couple come out last night and kick it with us and talk to us.
And we had a great time.
We had a great time.
So shout out to that couple.
I'm sorry.
I can't remember the other gentleman's name.
But Justin, I do remember Justin because he was on stage and he just was everything that he said to me last night.
It was funny.
He had a girlfriend and then now he has a boyfriend.
And then I said, oh, so you're bisexual?
And he told me, no.
I was never bisexual.
And I said, Justin, I can't figure out what the fuck you're saying right now, but I love you anyway.
And also, just, I don't know if Julian, you took his email down or a peed or somebody.
Justin, reach out to us because we want to send you guys merch back.
See, we sit gay people merch.
Yeah.
Free.
I feel like we're arguing that's our point.
We can't be homophobic.
You send gay people merch.
I can't be racist.
I voted for Obama.
So they were the first couple.
For those that don't know in our live shows,
we do bring couples up on stage.
And we play, you know, whiteboard games,
certain questions.
Our version of Never Have I Ever type shit.
Yeah.
And they were the first couple.
And as progressive as I did feel,
when they walked on stage,
I feel like everything he said to us
kind of just went out the window of this safe environment.
Because everyone was like,
nah.
Yeah.
I was like, fuck.
And here's the crazy part.
This is not a safe environment.
But here's the crazy part.
We're in Atlanta.
That crowd, if any crowd, should have been absolutely comfortable.
You know who said, no.
It was the, never mind.
He was there with his girlfriend.
Yeah, exactly.
The down lowers like, nah, wait.
They're living their truth.
Fuck them.
Damn.
I wish I could.
Clenching his fist underneath the same.
They're out of the closet.
Suppress it.
The fuck is rolling.
You look so happy.
Oh, man, but it was a great night, man.
I was nervous for both of us when they came out, though.
It was the first time with a live show,
I was lightweight, nervous on how we were going to handle something.
Because I was like, all right, we got to get the jokes off.
And I believe in equality for real.
So y'all are going to get the same jokes that everyone else has got.
I'm not going to sugarcoat this because we have to tiptoe around the shit.
Yeah.
But there was no edit button.
No, there was not.
That's where the fuck I was nervous.
Live phones.
Cameras were out.
I didn't know how much of the Bronx was going to come out of mall.
Hey man
I'm comfortable with being around those guys
I was nervous as fuck
Because when he said
No like I had a girlfriend
And Moe was like wow the fuck that work
I was like shit
This is gonna go off the rails
People are gonna tape it
But that's the beauty in it
You gotta have those type of conversation
Where you just like yo
How do that fuck does that work?
Like I don't care
I'm not mad I don't I'm not judging you
But just walk me through it
Well his boyfriend said to me off
Mike when you were talking to Justin
He's like that's how it usually starts
It's like we have to hide it so we get a girlfriend.
Yeah.
Damn.
That's how what happens, though.
And that's the thing, like, when you see guys that are, like, extremely homophobic and
got to kind of look at them like, man, why are you so bothered by that, bro?
Like, what's up, man?
You still live in my building.
Like, I'm going to see you every day.
Like, I'm not going to stop talking to you.
Like, what do you mean by that?
Just get that off your chest.
Yeah, well, what you mean by that?
What you mean, ill, when you see two men holding hands?
You act like they took your pension.
Like, why you're going to?
What are you so angry?
What are you mean by that, bro?
Why are you so upset about that?
But it was a beautiful night.
Another couple that came on stage was Big Ced and his girlfriend, Wendy.
Yes, I like it.
Big Said, the poet.
Cedric Blatch.
He had an amazing poem, poetry book.
Scott, what is it?
Scissor and tape.
Yes.
Cisor and tape.
Which I think had a couple entendres or meanings.
Yeah, I thought it was neither here nor that.
Two lesbian's banging vagues, but.
You had to make it a page 48 to find that.
I was like, oh, all right, here we go.
Let's just roll out all the gate.
the gay couples, but he had a poem, a poetry book that he wrote,
and he gave everybody from the crew a book, which was dope.
And they were great, too, on stage last night as well.
I was, I was blown away in London when that person,
that gentleman had said that he named his son after me.
And I was like, can't be true.
You just liked it.
He's like, no, you.
I'm like, oh, kid, no future.
And he's a red.
And he's a red.
I don't know what's weirder, though.
Some, I think a guy saying Rory and Mall are the reason that I was comfortable
to come out of the closet.
It's way crazier than someone named their son after me.
I just want to know what moment, what was the moment that made him like...
He told us it was...
It was just to talk about us being like, yo, why are people so weirded out by gay couples?
Oh, so it was an actual, okay.
Yeah, and I just think overall that he grew up around people...
No, it wasn't a recap of Rosewood.
No, absolutely not.
Julian is fucking sick.
No, that wasn't the moment where he was like...
He heard that.
God damn it, if they went to the box, I'm coming out.
No, that wasn't anything.
Is that what's going on?
in the straight streets yet.
I'm gonna do this gay thing, bro.
I can't do that.
I can't do the boxing.
Kitty cat is not my speed.
Yeah, no.
Put a milk all over yourself, yuck.
Wait enough, was there any other highlights?
It was just a good show.
Well, the B- Simone.
Oh, B-Simon and Megan came out.
Your energy in the green room was a little different.
Yeah, Mals phony.
We have to bring you to center stage here, no pun intended.
You gotta come to the podium.
Me and Megan was mad.
You was giving it up in the green room.
All are trying to make me and my friend a couple, and we are friends.
We are just friends.
That's okay, more.
I have friends, too.
We can just be friends.
Why can't we just be friends?
Okay.
Well, for those that weren't at the show, we played truth or dare, because sometimes it's fun to play kid games when you're an adult.
And Megan dared who side of the kid games, or, you know, well, out of context.
We bring seventh heaven back as adults.
Seven.
I'm waiting for that one to come back.
Seven minutes of seven minutes.
It was.
Seven.
Seven.
It was.
It was.
You know,
seven minutes of heaven
was a weird game
because seven minutes
that's a long time.
Making out for seven minutes
is fucking crazy.
In a closet?
We did six shit as kids,
man.
Why we just turned the TV on?
It's a TV right here.
Like,
we don't have to sit in a closet
and just look at each other
and start kissing.
We got to bring it.
Spin the bottle back.
Yeah,
let's bring all the games back as adults,
Rory.
But we played Truther Dair
and Megan had Dared Mall.
And he said Dare,
with his chest.
Like he was down for whatever.
Damn.
And Meg was like,
all right,
post a picture of B Simone
on your IG
with the caption of what you was giving up
in the green room.
And while was like,
yo,
I got mad plans for B.
She's my rib.
2023 is ours.
He's vegan.
Howard,
yeah,
I thought it was insane that
somebody would call a woman at Brits.
But see,
Eddie,
that's my thing.
I'm clearly joking
and now they want to bring it
on stage.
Like,
nah,
post like,
bro, those were jokes,
man.
It was weird.
He said out loud hashtag power couple.
I was like,
I don't say the past.
I was walking around the green room, hashtag power couple.
I was like, that's weird.
I said hashtag power couple.
Just walking around the green room.
Hashtag.
Us against them.
Well, everyone was like talking.
He was running around the green room like puff.
Like I was inspired.
It was crazy.
We were all hanging out in the green room talking.
Drama was there.
All the guys were talking music.
And you were just in the corner on the couch.
Corner cuffing.
Edon, you have footage.
I was everywhere but in the corner that green room last night.
I don't remember.
I don't remember.
I don't remember.
touchy fairly.
You was platonically touching her knee.
Well, I was a little ashy.
She had on jeans.
No, I'm talking about she had a...
You could not see her knee.
She had a whole shirt with her arms and her back out, bro.
What are you talking about?
So I said, oh, you look a little ashy.
You have some lotion.
She's like, I know I need some.
Oh, you locied her back?
No, I didn't load.
No, Megan's lotion.
Oh, my God.
This is what I'm saying.
I offered my friend lotion because she was ashy.
And now you're asking if I lotion her back.
No.
B. Simone and I are just friends.
I believe you gave her.
shoulder massage at one point. Last night?
Yes. You're like, you look so tense.
You know, because she's a little nervous. B is a little nervous, even though she's a legend
and she's an icon. She still gets a lot of nervous before going on stage, and she likes to
fart and throw up and things like that. So I was making sure she was okay last night.
Interesting sequence. Gotcha. So you was in, when she had the runs, you were in the bathroom with her.
Well, I was offering some spray, and I had baby wipes in my bag as well. So I was letting her know
if she needed anything, I was the guy. You were there. Just being a great friend.
Wow.
being a great friend. Shout out to Crystal. They sent us
some side chicks.
Yes, they did. Some tater tots.
Yo, this is not an ad.
That was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a
mealy-on-cheas.
Pimento cheese? I want to know what they season that
fucking bread with. Oh, you know what they season with.
Culture. No. I thought you were going to go down.
Side chicks. You know, Britney's box.
Just rub it on a box and throw it in that good old Britney
Renner's sweat. Throwing the grease.
Yeah, dip it right in Brittany Renner grease.
God.
But yeah, it was fun.
I wish you would have taken the dare.
And we could have taken that to the next level.
I thought about it.
I was like, nah.
And then I couldn't try to save it because Meg's married, so that would have been weird.
And I feel like I just have a feeling like her dude used to play in the league.
She just gives me like I date linebacker vibes.
Nah, no, no, no.
I love Meg.
Shout out to Meg.
Shout out to Be Simone, No for Sure Pot.
Thank them for coming out.
I feel like somebody else came out.
Drama came out.
We did Atlanta versus.
He smoked us in the verses, shared some takeoff moments.
It was.
She had some, some, some dope words, some real sentimental words about takeoff, rest and peace.
But, yeah, it was only right that drama, smoked us in the virtues.
I mean, it's DJ fucking drama, man.
Absolutely.
We had some fans come on stage and rap out of nowhere.
That was fun.
Yeah.
That was dope.
That was great.
Shout to Molly.
She bought her some juices.
Yeah.
I took a, I drank some of the ginger juice that she bought me last night.
and I woke up and completely emptied my bowels today.
So thank you for that, Marley.
I mean, I-Jinger ran right through me.
I like a woman with balance.
She can press juice and knows all the words snuck if you buck.
Oh, yeah.
You got to.
Listen, culture.
That's part of the coach.
That's my type of girl.
And then release from that ass.
So that's exactly what I did this morning.
I was exhausted and typically I wouldn't want right to the hotel.
But it was Julian's 30th birthday.
Happy birthday, Julian.
Happy birthday, Julian, man.
Thank you, bro.
We appreciate everything you do.
30 is a big one.
So I was like, man, let's go to a strip club.
but our show ended pretty late, and it was a Sunday night,
so all the good strip clubs for some reason were closed.
Yeah, and we ended up in a fucking hellhole of a fucking play.
No, no, no, no.
We went to a truck stop that happened to have naked women.
Yeah.
What was that called?
The pink nipple?
Pink pony.
Excuse me.
There was a lot of pink nipples in there.
Oh, man, the pink nipples were everywhere in there,
as including yours, Rory.
My shirt was on.
Was it?
I hadn't seen a white stripper in a long time.
That was weird.
Oh, you saw them all there.
What was the last time you seen a bunch of white strippers?
It felt like, damn, they make you?
It felt like a strip club in Grand Theft Auto.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
It felt like a strip club in the fucking movie from the 80s.
Oh, and it smelled like, remember when you could smoke cigarettes and bars?
Yeah.
It brought me back to when my dad, which I think someone should have stopped my father.
My dad used to bring me to bars when I was like a baby.
And it just reeked of Marlboro cigarettes in the paint.
It just brought me back to my childhood.
Yeah.
Yikes.
It was a good night, though.
It served its purpose.
We just needed some way to go and just chill, have some drinks.
and, you know, we got to see some pink nipples and pink asses.
So at the pink pony.
It was crazy that you had to pay to get in.
It was $1.00.
And then they charge you.
You can only take out.
The valet was the funniest thing in the world.
Oh, God.
Valet literally drove your car 10 feet and was like, it had to be $100.
Bro, we could have did that ourselves.
I didn't know what was.
He charged shorty $20 to literally take his foot off the break and then put it in park.
He put it in neutral.
And then we drove it out.
Yeah, Sixth's hustle.
Oh, give you the key back.
Let me, I can't have done.
did what you just did like twice.
Like, I don't need to pay you for that.
And I felt like I got, got afterwards, because I went into the ATM to go pay him.
And when I came back out, he looked at me like he forgot.
I was like, I should have stayed inside.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now, it's 20.
I'm like, man, do you even work here?
No, the front, you have to pay to get in.
Naturally, we don't just walk around with cash.
So I'm like, okay, I have to go to the ATM to get cash.
Especially in Atlanta.
Leave me your ID.
I said, I have to leave my idea at the front to go get cash from the ATM from the spot that
I'm going to be now inside.
She said, yes, okay, cool, go do that.
It's $10 every time you withdraw money from the ATM machine
and it's only increments of $200.
God damn.
Wait, really?
That's what it was.
Yeah, I took out money in the hotel for a reason.
So, you know, when in there, I'm thinking, okay, it's Julian's birthday.
You're going to have a night.
I said, you know what?
I'm going to get a thousand singles.
Let the whole crew have fun tonight.
Damn.
Am I in the crew?
Where was I?
I didn't get a dollar.
No, listen.
Julie was there right there.
The waitress said,
okay if you get a thousand singles
you can't get any more
until you throw that whole thousand
I said excuse me
I said what? I said what? You're going to monitor
me throwing a whole
check your pockets
I was about to say yeah
did he throw everything? Check him
what is this like where am I? I've never heard
anything like this I said wait so I have to
completely throw all of the singles
I get from you right now before I can get any more
you said yes
I said I'm ma'am I've never heard
of this policy
this preposterous
Atlanta. If anywhere is a strip club town, it's Atlanta, what are you talking about? She said,
that's the rules. I said, you know what? I said, you know what? I'm going to go get these 400
singles and I'm going to have a good night and that's it. $20 for 400 singles. Plus I had to pay
another $10 to get the cash to get everybody in, which I had to pay $140 for $10.00 for seven people.
They really got us because I did the same thing to get it. I pay for everyone. Or maybe it's two different
girls. It was the craziest. It was the craziest night ever. And then they charges $100 for that room.
for that room, the skybox.
The skybox, which had a wall.
Oh, that was only $100.
Yeah.
Oh, that was good.
That was worth it.
That was a steal.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
I would have paid $1,000 for that shit.
And there was only like half of us in there too.
But overall, listen, man, we had a great night.
Everybody got home safe.
One of the distributors came up to that skybox.
I said you want to do a private room.
I said, no, I don't want to go in the bathroom stall with you.
Prior room's in this shit.
But yeah, we had a great night.
Everybody got home safe.
And that's the most important part.
You know what I mean?
So shout out to the Pink Pony.
and shout out to all the girls that worked there.
We had a great night last night.
Lori, can you mention your payment method from the Pink Pony?
Remind me.
The process.
So, Rory was paying it all off.
You know, that's typical on the company card.
And they asked him for a fingerprint.
Oh, yeah.
Yo, all right, that was one of the, thank you for reminding me about that.
So I paid the check.
To the tip, everything, swip, she gave me my ID, my card back.
Like, I was getting ready to leave.
And she was like, she came.
with like this little square and she was like
I need your fingerprint
I said for what
and she's like oh we just we need it
I said did my card not go through like do you need to
swipe it again she said oh no no everything went through
so why are you want my fingerprints
and she's like it's just something we do here
I was like I'm not giving you my fingerprint
like you're not happening I already paid you
it's done and she's like okay that's fine
and I was like why were you so easily
persuaded for me to say no on that
I guess it's like collateral but it's
It's like it doesn't make sense, though.
Yeah.
No, it's for artificial intelligence.
Like she pushed for it and I said no.
And she was like, yeah, that's fine.
I was like, no pushback.
I'm very confused right now.
No, she did the same thing.
She said, yeah, I thought for that section that we got that you had to buy, you know, we come from New York and you get a section like that.
Buy a bottle.
Yeah.
Get a section.
I was like, okay, we'll get a bottle, I guess, of, you know, whatever they want to drink.
Everybody said tequila.
That's okay.
So get a bottle of Casamigos, whatever, whatever they want to drink.
So, yeah, that'll be like four.
450. I was like, okay. I said, but damn, for a bottle, like, I was like, I don't drink. He doesn't drink.
You know, I was like, maybe like three of the girls they drink, but I was like, I'm not going to force him to drink a bottle of tequila by himself.
She's like, oh, no, you don't have to get a bottle. Yeah, we got Heineken.
I said, man, why am I having this conversation about a bottle with you? I said, just bring me seven fucking shots.
Yeah. And let's get out of here. After everything I went through in London, anything would have been fine.
Yeah. I was like, can we do the London comparison? Because I feel like, there is no comparison.
The pink pony wins by a fucking man.
It's not even close.
There's no bottle bloke.
No bottle blocs, no bottle boys.
It's not even close.
They actually brought the liquor we paid for.
Yeah.
Not a carafe of some well tequila.
The pink pony wins by a landslide.
If it's the versus between the pink pony
and whatever that fucking hole over the wall we were in in fucking London,
it's the pink pony by a landslide.
Listen, man.
The odor I get, well, that strip club in particular.
Because strip clubs in Atlanta, like Magic City,
the ones that we usually go to.
and rest and peace
to follies, man.
I just want to have them
to sign to a quick.
Legendary.
Those are more like social.
Like you go with girls.
You can even go with your wife.
You go with family.
Like it's a thing.
That was a regular old school,
miserable old single man strip club.
Yeah.
Like I was observing that strip club
way different than I've looked at anything in Atlanta.
I was like, this could be my future.
Yeah.
If I don't get my active,
together.
I don't stay on the straight and narrow.
I could be this old lonely man asking, is diamond working tonight?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just ashing my Marlboro, like, I made the right choice.
I'm never, I'm never settling down.
That looks like women can't contain me.
That does great numbers at like one in the afternoon.
Oh, yeah.
It looks like it's rocking in there one and afternoon.
But I'll never go back.
It was.
Never go back.
Even though I did meet a beautiful young lady in there.
Got her name.
damn, fuck.
Good.
But she was great.
She looked amazing.
I'm sure it wasn't her real name.
No, it wasn't her real name.
Probably.
But since we've been down in Atlanta over the weekend, we got a few good albums that came out.
We officially got the numbers for the Drake in 21 Savage.
Her loss album, which was...
411.
That's crazy.
411.
Which initial projection was 330, and then that jumped to 390, and then they ended up doing 411.
And I see there, they didn't quite do what Taylor Swift did with the whole 10, but
they have like eight of 10 on the board right now.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
I mean, but we, did we not expect that?
I mean, amongst each other, we all agree that it's great.
So I think we as a collective expected that.
I don't think we had an expectation for what a 21 and Drake album could have really been, though.
Yeah.
It's crazy for me because y'all know how I feel when the announcement came.
I was like, I was so confused, but I was like, they have really good songs together.
They had about four songs at the time together.
I said they have great chemistry
but honestly the more
I listen to this album
Yo
21
got off on the shit
Yo he kept
He kept up
He now he doesn't rap as good as Drake
We know that
Right
But he did what he needed to do
At a very very high rate on that album
The songs never went to a low point
When he came on
They just either carried or heighten the record
This album to me
You know
This now solidifies
I've seen 21 call out everybody from his freshman album cover.
But to me, this album definitely solidifies 21 Savage as a real legit artist, rapper.
And while I do like the fact that he's calling out his peers from his freshman album cover as well, I like that.
Yeah, I do too.
And I like that's the way, because it used to be who could rap better.
But now we know hip hop has moved into a different place with lyrics.
I like now the verses is the new way to say that.
Like, let's do song for song.
Because now, obviously, no one's going to be like,
oh, I rap better than you because that's just not what hip-hop is at this point.
So, yeah.
I like calling out.
It should still be competitive.
This her loss album aside, like none of these songs can be using the verses.
I think...
Do we think that he beats Kodak Black?
You still in.
Yes, I do.
You think 21 beats Kod.
I think 21, even without her loss, I think 21 beats...
I don't like that you didn't even think about that.
I've been thinking about it since he said it.
I even went through Kodak's catalog.
I was like, hmm.
I think it'd be very close,
but I think 21 edges it out
because he's done bigger features.
Like I think a lot hits.
Well, even though that's a 21 record
and Kohl's feature,
but his catalog, I just think,
is a little bit more diverse
with who he's worked with
and certain records will hit different
than I think what Kodak could.
I love 21.
I agree.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know if he beats Kodak, though.
Well, give me some tracks.
From Kodak?
Yeah.
So if we got a lot with Jay Cole, Kodak got.
Which wouldn't even be that high in 21's catalog.
That was just an example of something outside of his typical sound.
Does Kodak have any song away from the herd loss joints as big as Super Gremlin?
It's easy.
Rockstar with Post Malone
Bank
All right bro, bank account
Bank account definitely
Yeah
It's bigger than Grellam.
Yeah
It is
Okay
Yeah
21 has that X record
Two with future
No hard
Yeah man
It's tough
Ball without you
Glock in my lap
Numb
I would love to see it
Yeah
I would love to see
Versus with him and Codex
I mean those were
From that
It would be a good verse
I'm not saying it would be
like a wash or anything. It would be competitive. I just think
21 edges them out.
21 got some records, for sure. But that would
be from the 2016 class, those would be
the two definitely top competitors.
Ouzi's on that album cover as well.
I mean, on that freshman list as well. That is true. Yeah, I think
from that conversation, it was Kodak and Uzi
were the two that people were giving the most pushback
for. I see that they had
a versus on Twitter with
was it
Kendrick in
21? Or Kendrick in
It's a weird versus? Who's doing that?
And they said Kendrick was getting washed, but was it 21 or Uzi?
I mean, I kind of doubt from either of the two lines.
But how do you even do?
They're completely different.
I wouldn't even know how to compare that.
You know how the Twitter verse does.
You just take the most random two people and just pin their limbs to put each other.
But the point of verse is that like it makes sense.
Right.
Oh, we think that's what the point of virtues is.
Sometimes they just grab two names and say, let's compare their catalogs.
Duke them out, I guess.
I thought that was interesting, though.
But shout out to Drake and 21, man.
Man, 411K is fucking insane.
That's...
Eight of the top ten on Billboard right now.
Yeah.
It's a great album, though.
I feel like everyone I've talked to, like...
It's a weird reaction.
I feel like everyone quietly loves it.
Like, anytime it's brought up,
so I was like, yeah, it's.
It's because of the reason, like, I said,
I felt like a lot of people who did...
It came out of left field, first of the album.
I don't think people was expecting it.
And then it's like, oh, shit,
this is a really great fucking practice.
Yeah. And the fact that it's that much better than what a time, I didn't think that going into it.
You think it's because of the shots he took it, especially the women in particular on the album, that people don't want to publicly praise it?
No.
Nah.
No, I don't think it's that. I think that at this point, a Drake album being good is not a surprise.
Like any album that Drake is a part of being a good album, people are not surprised about it.
It's kind of like, yo, it's Drake. We know the album is good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We get it. We understand. He's the biggest artists in the world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of like, I think that's what it is.
this point.
It's like,
yeah,
but people are still
hating on
honestly,
never mind.
Like,
I don't know how people.
I like the album,
but I could understand
that not being for everyone
and that,
oh no,
we know it's not for everyone.
But it's a lot of music
and a lot of albums
that isn't for everyone
that I feel like people
be like, yo,
it's good album,
but this is not for me.
Like, I don't,
yeah.
I think people just generally
don't like that album.
And I'm like,
how do you not like this album?
Like,
it's good music.
And I get it,
that's not everybody's vibe.
Right.
But my thing is good music,
Going crazy to bad money.
Don't know what the fuck he was saying.
I know.
We saw the footage.
Yeah.
I loved it.
Great music.
I'm like,
music is amazing.
I get it now.
You know why he's the biggest artist.
You was bad.
He was bunny.
Oh my God.
Don't do that.
We're not stows and kiss.
Don't ever call me and edit his thousand kiss.
You were Beyonce?
He was such a fierce.
Oh, wow.
Well,
speaking of 21 and new music.
And I don't know how much I even want to get into this.
But 21 was on Clubhouse.
I believe it was Clubhouse.
Yep.
And it was taken out of context because I did go listen to the actual clip,
but the headline said,
21 Savage says,
Nas is not relevant.
He just has a core fan base.
And if you listen to the entire clip,
21 was more having a conversation and they were talking to people trying to figure out
what the word relevant really meant in 2022.
And at one point,
somebody said,
oh,
if people 30 and under listen to you,
that means you're relevant.
I'm like,
I just don't think that's the definition of relevant.
That's so bullshit.
But I can see someone looking in it that way because hip hop, even though it's aging great,
it's still a young man's game at the end of the day as far as what sells the most.
And that's why hip hop's always going to continue.
Right.
Because the youth carry it, which is a good thing.
I just don't know if you can ever say somebody of that stature is not relevant.
Hold on.
Go ahead.
Because, yes, you can say at the time right now he's not the hottest thing moving.
Maybe sales aren't what.
some of the younger generation is doing.
But to say someone like that
is not relevant in a culture
that they help push forward
probably more than
most rappers is hard to say
especially when at the age they're doing
at the level of music they're making
like a Naz
and the relevancy of seeing how hip hop could age
because he's from the first generation.
KRS, Big Daddy Kane,
all them stop rapping.
Run DMC.
stopped rapping. We never saw how hip hop could age. So I think he's relevant in the category of
watching rappers get older and it not be corny for them to rap. I'm going to read the definition
of relevant. Relevant is closely connected or appropriate to what is being done or considered
appropriate to the current time, period, or circumstances of contemporary interests. With that
definition, Nas is very much relevant.
Yeah. And I guess it depends
what you define is relevance
strictly off sales. Is relevance
strictly off how many people you can
pack into a venue?
We could go semantics. We can play
word semantics on what.
Well, I don't subscribe to the white man's language
anyway, so I don't really care about that definition.
But for 21
to say that Nas isn't relevant
but then says he just
makes good fucking music and he
wraps really good or whatever he said.
21 was not saying anything negative.
The headline made it sound like that.
Of course.
If you listened to 21, what do you say?
He was not disin'nas.
No, he wasn't disin'nas.
But he was off a little bit because his words were Nas isn't relevant.
And that's incorrect.
Nas is very much relevant.
He just had a rap album of the year last year with KD2.
Yeah.
So, yes, he's,
Nas is very much relevant.
He has a great album out now, KD3.
He's still rapping at a very high level.
Raps better than most rappers,
new or old,
is able to make three albums with the same producer.
Four.
None of the albums sound anything alike.
So I don't know.
You know what I mean?
When you say relevant, it's like whatever your definition may be,
cool, that's your definition and relevant.
But in the definition of the word relevant,
Nas is absolutely relevant today.
He's one of many men in rap right now,
one of the OGs that is setting course for,
future rappers who are young right now
to keep on rapping. Absolutely.
That is relevance in its prime.
And he still raps better
than most of the
current rappers.
Yeah, is there a legend from that era that's
putting out the same volume as well?
Absolutely not.
No.
Because you got to think
to keep up with
this era,
people put music out a lot.
Like it's not fucking
twice a year, or pardon, once
every two years you put out an album type shit like even drake the biggest artist period has to put out a lot of music
absolutely so i don't know any other legend that's aging so gracefully and keeping up with the volume
of music you need to put out at a time right yeah and if you just want to get into kd3 i came here
after kd2 and said i think this is the best one kd3 is the best one the fact that this shit
keeps getting it gets better every time and that's the point that's why nage is very much relevant
You know, this album is ridiculous.
This album is amazing.
And I think it's not even close.
It's a certified fact that Hit Boy is by far the most versatile producer in hip hop history.
I was thinking just as a 32-year-old hip-hop fan, I couldn't be happier with her loss and KD3 coming out within two weeks of each other.
Like, if you are complaining about hip-hop right now, I don't know what the fuck.
You're not relevant.
hear anything. Yeah, you're not relevant. Your ears aren't working. You're not relevant. And you
should fucking get outside more because it is a lot of great music out. Um, hit boy. The only
thing I've been complaining about is replay value. I feel like a lot of projects don't have that
anymore. We have two albums that have nothing but replay value. Her loss high replay value.
Like I can't wait to turn the nods out. I can't wait to turn on the, the Drake in 21.
Bro, and this is what it, this is, this is why I feel like this is the, you know, I know that the way
we stream music and things like that. It may not be as beneficial for.
for artists and the creators as it was back when it was physical sales only.
But the fact that we get this music and we get, like you said, back-to-back weeks,
I mean, this is a great time.
It's just a consumer of music, a hip-hop head to just be, you know, alive because it's like,
bro, we get all of this music.
I can go from a Hurloss album to KD3.
Yeah.
I can go back and listen to KD2.
You know what I mean?
West Sidegun album that came out a few.
weeks ago. It's just so much
dope art and music that we have
available right now.
And again, back to hit boy,
man. I just, it's,
I'm just amazed at, you know,
first of all right, when they announced KD3, I was like,
all right, man, please don't fuck
up the Trilogy, G, that you have going.
Because one and two are so amazing.
But,
I mean, KD3, it's like,
I got to start looking at them,
them two, like, yo, what the fuck are y'all doing together
in these studio sessions, man? Like, how are y'all able
to create at such a high level,
not fall off, not lose a step,
but then to me,
one, two, and three sound nothing alike.
At all.
Not even close.
And that's the amazing part to me.
It's not like I'm listening to the same projects.
I'm like, all right, y'all are beating this sound into the ground.
It might be time to close the chapter on this.
These are three different, totally different albums,
the content, the sound, the production.
Everything around these three albums is totally different.
And it's only right that we salute both Nas and the Hit Boy on just setting an example of working together, having the business right, and just having the type of chemistry and the energy that they have between because I see people going back to the 21 Savage thing to say it's a disconnect between the old degeneration and the current.
Is it?
Because Nas and Hit Boy is showing us that there's no disconnect at all.
And it sounds like now.
They are very much connected.
And this is a younger producer and hit boy with an OG artist, Nas, being able to create three pieces of art together that are nothing to like.
And that are absolutely incredible.
And this third one, you know, I love the features on KD1 and KD2.
Here in Lauren Hill was amazing.
Hearing the firm back together was fucking crazy.
Hearing Nas would pick Sean and Don Tolover was cool.
Like I like the features they pick.
But I love with this one, Nas carried the entire project.
there wasn't really a need for any feature on any of that shit right like which is crazy the amount
of rapping that naz does to carry how many tracks is it julia 17 17 18 a little over an hour like
yes 17 records the amount of rapping naz is doing carries the whole shit it's it's incredible
i have come to a realization though well what's that if you've been following my journey for quite
some time.
Listeners out there.
I've been very vocal
that everyone on earth
has met Andre 3000 besides me.
Yep.
And I thought maybe one day
would be my time.
It hurt my heart
that when we were in London
we were going to go to Sohouse.
He ended up being there.
I was like, fuck man.
That might have been my chance.
Don't see him in Soho.
Maybe the stars would align
and it would take London
for me to see Andre 3000.
Didn't happen.
We saw Bottle Boys instead.
Yeah.
Loaks.
So I go to the Naz and Hit Boy KD3 listening party,
which I haven't been to like one of those in a really long time.
But because it was fucking hit boy and because it was Nas, I was like, yeah, I'm in there.
Yeah.
We can talk about that after.
I wake up the next morning.
Okay, at the KD3 shit, I'm in the section.
Yeah.
I'm not trying to big league you.
I'm just, you know, trying to paint a picture.
Big league.
I'm in the actual section with
Naz, hit boy,
mass appeal, static, everybody.
I'm in the right,
I'm in the right section of if a legend
or someone were to come,
they would be where we were.
And I stayed pretty much the entire time.
And you're a legend yourself, so you were right at home.
Oh, thanks.
In the legend scale of that,
Jungle was more of a legend than that.
Than I was.
But I stayed for a pretty long time.
past my bedtime. We had to go to Atlanta the next morning.
Letters don't have bedtimes.
Right. Come on.
So I wake up for my flight, right?
They just never sleep.
And I'm just, you know, I'm just scrolling through Instagram and shit, you know, doing some double
taps, doing some likes, looking at some money bags.
And I see Elliot Wilson post this picture.
Yeah.
Of hit boy, Nas and Andre 3000.
In that same section?
In the same fucking section.
He was waiting for you to leave.
Fam.
I was there for like three hours more.
Yeah.
in three hour and minute two, that's when
Andre showed up.
They like, they texted him like, yeah, he laughed.
Yeah, he laughed. He's gone.
Yeah, he's gone. He's gone.
I would like, I almost shut the place down.
And I walked in at the same time as Hip Boy.
I walked in with Hip Boy.
I have no words.
I'm like, this is just never going to happen.
Yeah.
This is never, and could you imagine
all the pain I felt of all the photos
of everyone in Andre 3,000?
My moment could have been me, Nas and Andre 300.
Oh, man.
Wow.
But instead it was just me and BDOT.
Yeah.
Another legend.
Yeah.
Just a flick of me and BDOT.
See, what you don't know is Rory is Andre was sitting across the street perched on the rooftop, sitting Indian style, playing his Mayan flute.
And soon as he saw you exit the building, that's when he decided to swoosh down and join the party.
And said the red guy is going, and now I can enjoy it.
How am I on the same schedule?
I went from London to New York.
Was he on my flight?
Might have been.
Honestly, I think he was closer than you knew.
Yeah.
Imagine he was sitting in coached the whole time in the middle seat.
You just miss him like this much every time.
You just missed him.
I was like,
I was actually upset.
Like really genuinely upset.
You can't, but see, that's the thing about Andre 3000.
You have to, you can't, you only see him when you don't expect.
Like when I, when I met him, I literally was just walking down.
whatever avenue that is that Macy's is on on 34th Street
and literally saw him standing on the corner of Victoria's Secret
and he was just standing there.
And I'm walking and I'm talking and I'm just kind of walking around Manhattan.
We're from there so we're not really, we don't have the tourist head swivel.
We just like looking down on our phone and I just looked up.
And he, Andre 3000 was standing just leaning on the wall of Victoria's Secret outside on the corner.
And I looked and I was like, what's up, man?
He's like, peace, man.
He said, Roy not with you, right?
Yeah.
He's good.
He's like, Rory, not outside, right?
I think he's home.
He's like, all right, good.
I could stay outside a little longer.
Roy, what would you say to him?
Because this is something you've obviously made clear.
I don't know what I...
Here's the thing.
I have a very short list of people I would ask for pictures with.
An extremely short list.
And he's on it.
So I would ask him for a picture.
So it's Andre 3,000.
Who else?
Chappelle is on that.
But the time I spent with him felt like too intimate and like it would have been really weird.
Same with mine.
I just didn't want to be that guy.
We're having a cool conversation.
I just would have been weird.
Yassim, most deaf is on that list.
For sure.
And I might, DeAngelo, and I think that's where the list would stop.
That's cool.
For people I would ask for pictures with.
You would not get a picture with any of those gentlemen.
Let me just say that right now.
It's never going to fucking...
No.
When I was with Chappelle and them,
go to Aunt Clemens' Instagram
when it's Aunt Chappelle,
Jay Elect, everybody.
I took the fucking picture.
I wasn't in it.
You can see Roy's reflection in the background.
Your aunt didn't tag you.
You put the camera emoji and tag you?
Camera of Rory.
Yeah.
Consequence had me in a headlock so I couldn't...
But yeah, that would be...
Actually, you know what?
Q-Tip would be...
Speaking of that.
Q-Tip would be on that list, but I would never ask Q-Tip for a picture
because I just feel like Q-Tip would look at me like I was fucking nuts.
I saw him when Joyce opened up for Kate Trinada,
Q-Tip was up in like our little green room viewing area.
And I was like, damn, everyone on the list I would ask for a picture
is someone that would look at you nuts for asking for a picture.
Yeah, but I don't know.
When it comes to taking pictures and I've been fortunate enough to be around some legends
and icons and intimate settings
and be a part of some really like,
you know, personal conversations.
And it's just weird how in those moments,
you really just, you never even,
the thought of asking for a picture
doesn't even come to mind.
No, not at all.
It's like, I'm not even, like,
I'm just honored to even be here
having a conversation with you.
Right.
And, you know, it's like everything
that I always thought about you
is confirmed, like, super down the earth,
super personable.
And just, you know, accepting and embracing
and things like that.
So it's like to end that with, can we take a picture?
Is it like, it's a little weird.
Like Chappelle and I had had, and this is weird, that tape name dropping and talking like this.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I had a really cool conversation about rich people and poor people finding religion and the difference.
Like at that point, I would be like, oh, how about a flick?
Yeah.
Like, Dave, you don't mind if we, uh, no, I do mind actually.
Yeah, I would have felt more comfortable like, yo, can I get a sick?
Can I get a bus down, bro?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, but to, to Edens question, I don't know what I would.
say because they kind of like
know already. You know people
I would want to say thank you to Andre 3000
like yo you have no idea which he's heard that
like he knows he's aware that he's
a legend and the icon
has changed everyone's life. How much people love him.
He doesn't need that for me to be like
I don't think three stacks, like damn I guess
I am influential. You know what I know I found
your end. There's nothing to say. I found
your end with three stacks.
You have to pick up the Mayan flute and learn how to play it
to become his competition.
Yeah. And then have a flute off. And then have a flute
Flute off. Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Flute off the red nose rained.
Look.
Oh, dear.
Got them.
Flute off.
You would probably want me to dress as a leprecon when I played the flute.
Oh, hell yeah.
You'd have to learn some steps too.
You got to wear a fucking leprechaun outfit.
Irish jig.
Irish jig.
Little little Irish jig.
Is that a pirate?
That's your way in with 2000.
I mean, yeah.
I feel like at this point, it's just never going to happen.
It's going to have to accept it.
It's going to happen.
It would happen like, you see how we were just walking up the block getting some coffee and went to the store?
That's how you bump into three.
Where are we next?
Dallas.
He'll probably just be there.
Yeah.
In Dallas.
Yeah.
With the flute.
Most random places.
Like, we would have bumped into three stacks coming out of the pink pony.
Like, it's most random fucking.
If I fucking find out, Andre 3,000 is in Atlanta right now, I'm going to lose my fucking money.
I'm pretty sure he's here.
It's not the weirdest place for you to bump into him.
Yeah.
I'll tell you that.
No, but like, our.
schedule. Like he's just, he has the same tour
routing as us, but he's not touring. No, he'll actually be in
on this same couch later today. Yeah.
Guaranteed. He'll be right here in the
Culture Lab later today. Well, yeah.
It was a really cool
listening event. We know how
fucking industry listening
events and how they've aged. I was home getting
better. I was fucked up.
So I spent the day Sean at Texas
about that event. I couldn't make it.
I said, bro, I got to sit in the house with the sweats
on and sweat all this shit out. Yeah. So I could
feel better coming down here and I did that that day off really really helped um I feel a thousand
percent better uh today so I'm glad you went though I heard I heard it was a really dope event
I was just fun it was just a fun event right the album is amazing so shout out to Katie three
shout out to nod shout at the hit boy you said uh that Dehapal would be one of the people that you
took you would take a picture with he would be on the list yeah did you watch his monologue no
I'm not going to go well great of course I did okay everybody in the world has seen that
You'd be surprised.
I stayed up, I mean, I didn't do anything.
What day did we fly here?
Saturday morning.
Yeah, I stayed in the hotel Saturday just because the flu is going around.
Yeah.
I didn't want to force anything.
And I stayed up and watched it live.
I haven't turned on a hotel TV and went to the cable in maybe 10 years.
Yeah.
I was like, where's NBC at?
I'll do that.
Shepel, no, absolutely, man.
Absolutely.
And it was everything I think we expected, if not more.
It was.
probably one of the greatest
15 minutes of speaking
I've ever heard
and call me a dick rider
call me the honest
that was incredible
it's not even I don't again
it's I don't think it's even
close anymore
Chappelle is the greatest
of all time
it's you know just the way
he uh
he leads into things
the way he sets things up
uh his punch lines
his timing
uh his
influx in his voice.
You know, it's everything about it is just perfect.
It's just genius.
You know, the way he introduced the whole Kyrie part of it.
Kanye was in so much trouble that Kyrie got it.
That was just hilarious.
Yeah.
And he started, the way he started, like, and that Kanye is how you buy yourself some more time.
Like, it's just that simple.
And that's what Dave is.
He's perfect at sitting back, analyze,
and seeing everything that's happening going on
and then, being like,
this is how you stay away from that and avoid that.
Well, ironically, for some reason,
Kanye is probably one of the least articulate people on earth.
And this is not me doing the Kanye cape
or being one of those people.
Like, you just don't understand Kanye.
I really think in Kanye's head,
he'd be smoking these conversations and these interviews,
not realizing what's coming out of his mouth.
In his head, he probably thinks he sounded,
just like Chappelle did on S&L,
except he's just yelling,
slavery was a choice.
Like, Kanye, I did that.
I'm going DeathConnor 3 in the Jews.
Kanye.
Fell asleep.
Go to bed, bro.
Kanye.
Yeah.
I think, and again,
this is not defending what he said
or saying, y'all don't understand.
I just think Kanye,
in his own brain,
thinks he sounds like Dave Chappelle
and how Chappelle articulated that shit.
But just bullshit,
I want to abolish steps.
Kanye probably thought that was the most well,
thought out thing ever in his head and just yelled
out, let's get rid of steps.
And I thought that everybody's going to be like, word.
And we will all get.
Let's get rid of steps today.
I never even thought about that.
Yeah, like, we don't need steps.
We need steps.
I hate second-place.
We have elevators.
But yeah, like, when a fire happens, like, who cares?
That's just getting an elevator.
That SNL, that SNL skit,
Dave Chappelle, man, just
amazing to watch.
Amazing to watch.
And, you know, he echoed a lot of sentiments.
and statements that Kanye made,
but just in a way where it just wasn't as offensive,
as harsh, as disruptive.
It's not in an attacking tone.
And not an attacking tone.
It's just like, yeah, like, I'm not saying,
I've been to Hollywood.
I'm not saying they run it, but a lot of them.
And even to that explanation,
because of course we understand why the Jewish community gets upset.
they all run media, they control the world
because that was the narrative that the Nazis
had done to start the Holocaust
World War II all of shit, right?
I mean, if you think it happened, Kyrie.
Sorry.
That was even great.
That whole part was like...
Yeah.
But Chappelle explaining,
and I hope a lot of the Jewish community
listened with an objective ear to Chappelle
when he said,
I've been to Hollywood.
One could start putting things together
and feel that.
They may not be right.
Yeah.
But when you go into Hollywood, you go into media, you go higher, higher up, a logical person could just put things together.
It doesn't mean you're correct in thinking that.
The correlation.
But there is some logic in like, okay, everybody's Jewish.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now that doesn't mean you should spew hate speech towards them.
Right.
The Jewish community has to have some understanding that we could put some things together here.
Yeah.
That's all.
I hope everyone really listened to Chappelle because I think he gave both sides pretty well.
It was perfect.
The Ferguson, Missouri comparison was the perfect way to put that.
A lot of black people in Ferguson, but we know they don't run it.
You could say the same thing with Hollywood, but one could think otherwise.
The line that's circulating the most on Twitter at least is if they're black, it's a gang.
If they're Italian, it's a mob.
If they're Jewish, it's a coincidence.
And you should never speak about it.
genius.
I thought that was a perfect way
to calmly,
subtly say,
yeah,
that's basically what it is.
And to even think
why every time
we would suggest that,
we have to shut the fuck up about it.
It's like,
that's weird.
So I thought it was perfect.
I thought it was the best way
to sum up everything
that's been going on right now
for everyone that's been arguing
both sides on Twitter,
Dick, Kyrie.
Just watch that bit.
Watch the Chappelle bit.
It's the perfect way to address everything.
And I like the fact that even he said it's for a genius who has, you know, become a genius at just speaking.
He said it's hard for him to even talk.
Yes.
And during these times.
Like, it's like I have to watch what I say and how I say it because, you know, everybody's offended.
Everybody is upset.
When at the end of the day, listen, we're all human.
We all come from a struggles.
We all have our prejudices against us.
Yeah.
But let's have these conversations and let's break down these walls of, you know, hiding behind, you know, not being offended.
Let's not be so quick to be offended.
Let's listen to each other and find a common ground of understanding.
So I thought Dave Chappelle did a great job of that.
And finding laughter in that as well.
Like finding some laughter.
Let's laugh at it.
Like, listen, we understand some people who are hurt and offended and we don't ever want to offend anybody.
And we don't ever want to talk to hurt anybody.
But if it happens, let's talk about it.
Let's talk about why.
And also, let's laugh during the talk.
So Dave Chappelle did a great job, another feather in his hat of genius.
To learn.
Even in the sketches, the sketches were great.
The House of Dragons.
That was great.
Bringing Tyrone Biggams back.
That hold in the monologue, the chain premise that he kept going back to with Kanye and the, like,
that was some of the most genius comedy shit I've ever seen.
It was like, and I'm going to nerd out.
And the amount of entangras that was.
in that premise of calling it back each time.
At Chappelle, like,
the amount of time that this kind of thing's been going on
to come up with that type of bit that quick
is a different level of genes.
And shout out to Norian EFN.
Drink champs got shouted out on fucking Saturday Live.
That's amazing.
That was dope.
That was dope.
Well, yeah, the sketches, I'm sorry.
I just wanted to go back to that monologue
because I've watched it like 30 times.
But yeah, sketches were great.
If you guys want to talk more about Game of Thrones,
I thought it was funny because of all the Chappelle show characters and references on it.
I didn't fully understand everything because I've never watched Game of Thrones or the new shit.
So it's probably funnier to y'all than it was to me.
Yeah, they did a good job of poking at certain things from the show itself.
But I was just saying, like, from a broader perspective, Chappelle and whoever else was helping writing these sketches, they did a really good job.
Neil was involved with the last few times he hosted.
They did a very good job of addressing again, all the social and political stuff, but through a really, like,
like simple basic comedic lens,
the barbershop sketch in particular,
just the one white guy in there that was,
you know, completely not reading the room.
Right.
Just missing the mark on every single thing.
Which is what happens.
Which happens all the time on Twitter.
Like that was a physical representation of Twitter.
Mm-hmm.
Like they did a really good job of driving home stuff.
Chappelle said in his monologue
in integrating them into the sketches.
Mm-hmm.
So yeah, shout out to everyone that did that.
And just the little shit I find funny.
Like having a dragon light your crack pipe is just funny to me.
That's just funny to me.
That was pretty funny.
It had me think because they brought back the haters on the haters' ball and iced tea,
which was great to see him.
It did make me sad, man.
Patrice O'Neill would have been in that sketch.
He was part of the haters' ball.
And Charlie.
Well, I don't know, man.
Patrice, if he stayed alive.
He might have been fucking, he would not have been allowed on SM.
Patrice would have been out of here a long time ago, man.
Let's just call it with a legend.
Patrice would yell Jew way before Kanye.
Years ago.
He would have had to move to Ohio, but not by choice.
Yeah, that's a fact.
Patrice O'Neill, rest in peace to the legend, Patrice O'Neill.
Rest in peace to the legend, man.
Man, and he would have been so needed.
We say that all the time, but I'll never stop saying.
He would have been so needed in this era.
Actually, we're joking and saying we've been canceled,
I think he would have became a superstar.
Because the way Chappelle articulated everything that's going on right now,
Patrice is that level of intellect as well.
Like, Patrice would have been great to...
have us cut the bullshit, all the semantic shit,
and be like, bro, look what the fuck is going on right?
Somehow less filtered.
Yeah, for sure.
Way less filtered.
Patrice O'Neill, you'll talk.
One of my favorite comedians ever.
Oh, my God.
He's got some great stand-ups still on YouTube.
I watch them often.
He also would have been, I think,
podcasting would be completely different if Patrice O'Neill was here.
Because I feel like podcasting, of course, existed,
but I think even shout out to Sirius, our partner.
Like the Opie and Anthony days where it was just like long form content,
Patrice was always the star.
He could talk about anything.
He could talk for three fucking hours.
He was hilarious.
He was articulate.
He was intelligent.
He started that long form shit.
And if he had his own podcast, this would be different.
He would definitely be getting his shit off.
He would make, he would force all of us to not be his PC or toe the line on these podcasts.
Because we'd look pussy.
Absolutely.
rest of peace of Patrice O'Neill, man.
Legend, icon.
Wish we had more time with him.
Wish we had more time with him.
Were.
But yeah, the sketch of the potato hole was funny.
That was, bro.
And shout out to all the other comedians in it.
They played that, like the corny news shit.
Perfect, man.
That was a really good.
That SNL was one of the better ones we've had in a long time.
For sure.
I think I would say when Bill Burr was on his,
probably the last time outside of Chappelle
that I was like, oh, this is fucking hilarious.
Yeah.
So, yeah, man, we have a, I think Cizza's doing
the next one, right?
Cizzo?
Kiki Palmer said, was that real?
Yes.
Shout to Kiki Palmer.
That's big, wow.
Kiki Palmer is hosting Saturday Night Live.
That's my, congrats to her.
Shout out the Kiki Pahl.
Did you guys watch Nope?
No, I didn't see Nope yet.
When we were coming back from London,
I was going to watch it on the flight, but I fell asleep.
Regardless of the film, Kiki killed that.
She's character.
She's talented as fuck.
The palm is talented, man.
She's definitely talented.
And I feel like she's still a little underrated.
I wish she would make more music, too.
I liked her music.
Yeah.
But shout out to Kiki.
I will be watching that one as well.
And Siza, I mean, of course we know.
Oh, man, Siza.
I hope that means we saw the clips of the video that she's about to put out.
That's oat milk.
Listen, bro.
I know oat milk when I see it.
And her kitty cat.
Julian, you know I know oat milk when I see oat milk.
Come on, man.
That wasn't the caliph?
Ciz.
Nobody could eye oat milk like.
I can't.
Siza got the good, good surgery.
You know, like the proportional, like, you look amazing surgery.
Are we not allowed to, all right.
No, you are.
Are we not allowed to say that she obviously got surgery?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All the videos are, it's just her silhouette.
We haven't really seen her yet.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You've just seen the shadow.
You can see the shadow.
You can see the shadow.
You can look good on anyone, not to say she doesn't look incredible.
I've seen some shadows.
I've seen her in the light.
I've seen some silhouettes.
I've seen my silhouette.
Yeah.
It's not that good.
It's gross.
Yeah, I see my 12 o'clock shadow, Julian.
Let me tell you.
My 12 o'clock shadow.
Looks nothing like Cizzer.
You know what's me when you see my shadow.
But I hope that her doing S&L, that would confirm, right, that the album has to be coming before the years.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe even before November?
Like maybe some Black Friday?
Would that be a good guess?
That would be interesting.
Black Friday, Cizzer.
That's my guess.
Yeah, because we did think it was coming out around the Black Panther, too.
I think we said that for a while for the last few months.
So not off, maybe right before Christmas.
Yeah.
Or right before, like you said, the end of the month, or the end of the month,
Black Friday maybe.
I mean, she's three for three or four for four with the records.
I can't wait.
Everyone knows how we feel about CISISA.
So I'm excited.
December 3rd is when that's happening.
Gotcha.
December 3rd?
Oh, that's December 3rd.
Oh, S&L?
Oh, no.
Maybe we could get it Black Friday then because she would perform after the album.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Let me let me let.
Let's go Sizz album.
Looking forward to it, Cizor, you look amazing, you sound amazing.
And we need some mail captions.
So give us some captions, man.
Ciz's going to give us some mail captions.
And as much as I give her shit about accountability,
I don't want her to take any bit of accountability.
I love when she doesn't take accountability.
Love it.
Classic fucking records.
Yeah.
Is there anything else?
Where are we at?
Oh, those are the real votes?
Well, the fake votes?
Wait, well, we get sued if we,
Show it?
Oh, all right.
If you're watching, we have the Drake and 21 Vogue.
YouTube.com.
I don't know if this is real or official.
If that's...
That's cool, though.
Fire.
Okay.
Yeah, we see it.
Wow.
What is the quote again from 21?
You have to be political.
21 Savage is not holding back.
That's so funny.
Should we talk about the Twitter disaster?
Yes.
I have my blue check now.
All right.
For those that don't know, Edden bought a verified check.
We should have got one for our account.
I mean, I guess.
You have to understand why.
Did you feel verified after that check came?
No, I know I don't.
Did it feel like a void in your life that maybe was missing?
Man, that was not a void.
My point was, was you look in the mirror like, yes, fine.
It was more special.
For $8.
For $8.
For $8.00.
Or getting a green card or getting a verification on Twitter.
I only have my verification.
But the point is that.
He's a verified American.
right, I'm verified American.
For $8.
This is why we need to close our borders.
This is exactly why.
Trump was right.
Illegal immigrants getting Twitter verification.
They're stealing our blue checks.
Now his voice matters.
Exactly.
That could have went to a white man.
A blue check?
Yes.
The guy bar-side of pink pony.
It was definitely cheaper.
Taking our jobs and they're taking our blue checks.
Taking our blue checks.
God damn it.
Get out, Edd.
That's sick.
It was very much cheaper.
Like, is this country even ours anymore?
I don't know.
It's going fucking running the muck.
But, Eddard, I like what Edith was like, you know, I was one of the shake shit up.
Shake shit up.
He said that in the green room.
Hold on.
Shake shit up.
Hold on.
Nobody was shook up.
You have to understand.
People were getting tight because people were getting a verified blue check.
For $8.
Yeah.
Let me tell you, that is now the value of looking verified on a social media platform.
Absolutely.
And we care about that way too much.
I had it valued at $0.
Right.
For real.
I'm still not verified on Twitter.
I don't get a fuck about that shit.
I think we just put too much value on that little visual way too much.
Let's talk about some of the fake tweets then.
Oh, yeah.
Well, exactly.
That was the real big problems,
is that Twitter and Ilamas was getting a lot of backlash
because there was a lot of people that were getting the verified check for $8.
And then making like fake like Woj accounts,
fake CNN accounts, and then just automatically believe.
Oh, the biggest one was LeBron James saying,
quote, I don't call LeBron James,
saying that he was like retiring from Lakers or some shit like they are moving on
or going back to Cleveland, you know?
Well, sports-wise, but the biggest one financially was Eli Lilly,
which is a pharmaceutical company that provides insulin,
said that they would start giving out insulin for free.
Damn.
And their stock dropped millions of dollars.
Oh, shit.
But this is the Twitter I grew up on them.
Yeah.
Like, y'all wasn't around for the fake retweets?
Had us saying some crazy shit.
Disrupt some shit in the real world on social media.
This is the new version of the fake retweet.
There's a 4.5% drop in their stock after 1.
Damn.
After someone paid $8, they tanked 4.5%.
I love it, though.
You see what I'm saying?
I love that.
That's crazy.
Look at the world we fucking live in, man.
This is the crazy.
I'm telling you end up fucking simulation.
Nobody won't listen to me.
This is the sick of shit in the world.
Someone tweeted from the fake Pepsi account, Coke is better.
Brut.
See what I'm saying?
I love it.
And I'm sure Elon.
and the rest of the lizard people that control our...
The lizard people are like, are just laughing.
You know they went inside of a volcano and just laughed at the tweets.
Inside of a volcano that was erupting.
Like, look at these mere mortals.
They could never be in here.
They'll never be reptiles like us.
Lockheed Martin stock dropped as well after a tweet that said,
we will begin halting all weapons sales to Saudi Arabia, Israel,
in the United States, until further investigation.
into their record of human rights abuses.
Bruh.
Did you see all the LeBron lying memes that were going around the last week?
Oh, my God.
I love that.
It was just a picture of LeBron on the cash was like, listen, Hope showed me 92 of the bricks.
I was like, bro, you should be careful.
I don't want you to lose those.
Well, so the LeBron joke started after a press conference of him talking about takeoff's
passing and saying how early in the Miami few days.
The music in 2010.
He had them, way before it even existed.
And then they showed a video.
They showed a video of Offset in 2010.
He was pop locking in a fucking bedroom.
They said LeBron had a Travis Porter record.
They thought that that was the week.
Wait, hold on on.
LeBron said 2010.
Yeah.
He said he was in the locker room.
And they said they were in high school.
He said D. Wade and everyone else was like, yo, who is this?
Turn this off.
It's corny.
And he was like, nah, they're the future.
No, that's future.
I told them.
I told everybody.
I told them that was it.
That's Migos.
You could ask him.
It was like, well, that was Travis Porter and somebody else you were playing, but that was not the Migos.
So we were all listening to Watch the Throne.
And LeBron was like, nah, I'm not on that.
You're all on that?
I had Watch the Throne at 99.
I'm on some new shit.
But, you know why I love that?
Because it was a, it was, that has always been silently a thing.
Like, even during the bubble when LeBron had.
like the books that he was reading and those pictures came out and it was only on like page three
the entire time like people have been slowly building this case against lebron for a few years
and it's been funny but i think like you said the takeoff thing which is when people were had enough
like all right fam 2010 all right listen we built our case against you for years we're getting
you out of here today today it stops and i just loved it because it's like first of all it's
like lebron james we love lebron one of the biggest athletes ever but people have been silently
calling LeBron or his bullshit for a few years
and they was just fed up at this point.
No, I had heard that
in 2011 the first time
that LeBron had met Cuevo
he had on a Gucci sweater
and LeBron was like, nah.
Versace.
That's your lane.
Don't wear that. Don't wear that.
Don't wear that.
Govise. A photo of a JFK
in the convertible.
I told JFK
that drop top wasn't a good idea
the day before.
Brut. It's fucked them.
We should laugh at that, but we understand it's like, yo dog.
Come on, man.
Stop it.
We love you, Bron.
What else has, Brian?
I mean, I remember during the bubble, those pictures of him reading were very funny.
What is the other lies that?
It was the one press conference when the dude was asking him about the Godfather movie.
Oh, yeah.
And he was like, yo, what's your favorite quote?
And LeBron was definitely about to say, say hello to my little friend.
You said, you know, he said those movies are so long, you know, there he goes, there's so many lines.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't name one.
I can't name one.
It's like when that reporter asked Trump, you're a Bible guy.
You read the Bible.
He goes, I know every single passage.
He was like, what's your favorite version of the Bible?
And he was like, can't name one.
There's so many to pick from.
There's so many.
It was the same approach.
And then there was the press conference.
John be talking, hey?
John.
He'd be talking that talk.
There's so much to pick from.
There was the press conference when he was talking about Liverpool and the
Socrates and the woman said, you know, our correspondent who's also talking
is a legend on the team and he goes, oh, I knew that.
Then they asked him like the captain of England scored a goal or something.
There was something along those lines.
And he was like, I thought it was cool that he scored like that.
And they were just like, yeah, LeBron.
Like LeBron, it's just that people, we love LeBron, but people have been trying to call him out on bullshit for years.
See, I don't know.
That makes Kyrie's flat earth theory a little more palatable.
Now that Brown's just giving it up like that.
Dole.
That fucking Godfather shit had me crying.
He said he predicted Kobe's game.
He definitely was about to say, say hello to my little friend, for sure.
For sure.
Those movies are so long.
You said he predicted Kobe's 81 point game, too.
Yeah, he said, I told everybody at night before he's going to go for 70.
I told everybody.
I mean, that's not a bad assumption of Kobe.
You just, it's just not true.
Just that LeBron didn't say that.
Nobody says, yo, he's going to go for 70 tonight.
Nobody has ever said that.
Like, 70?
Oh, come on, man.
Stop, bro.
What you're talking?
What person that ever sat down was like, you know what?
He's going for 70 tonight.
It doesn't happen, man.
Stop it, bro.
I'm just waiting for him to be like, yo, I told the heat in the locker room.
Mazz was going to fuck us up.
Yeah, like, talk about that.
Like, yo.
Yeah, how come you can't predict that shit?
Like, yo, Jason Terry.
You know, I told everybody.
Jason Terry was going to average more than me.
He coming off the bench.
I told him.
Like, bra, I say that.
Like, say that shit.
He won't say that, though.
Jason Terry was killing y'all.
Off the bitch.
He averaged more than Braun.
Are you kidding me?
Listen, if he wants to read one page of the biography of Malcolm X, not much, I can't get over.
He said he knew the Migos in 2010.
That's crazy.
And then he showed, they showed Offset.
Were they the Migos?
They showed Offset like this in the Brune.
She was the crazy shit.
He wasn't even thinking about that.
Yeah, no.
Brown was on that.
He was holding the camera.
He was holding the camera.
Oh, my God, man.
Rich, don't kill us, man. Please.
Yeah.
All right, Rory.
I know you don't like to talk about sports, but some pretty...
Trying to call me pussy?
Yeah, no.
Some pretty big games last night.
Joel Embed had a crazy fucking game.
59, 11 rebounds, eight blocks, four bitches, all kind of shit.
No, Brown predicted it.
I don't know if you saw.
Yeah, no, Braun definitely predicted it.
You said Joel was going to go for 70 last night.
Joel and B had a crazy game.
Shout out to Joel and Bede.
I think it's only him, Iverson, and Will Chamberlain now for the Sixers.
Oh, wow.
That had games like Joel and B, man.
I just don't know how happy he is in Philadelphia, though.
You're not trusting the process.
Well, I trust the process.
I don't trust a long fucking process.
Yeah, I trust that the process has run its course.
I think that Joel, I just think that he's happy in Philly.
I think that he's pretty much done with that city and ready to get out of it in
and take his talents elsewhere.
To the Knicks?
Oh, that would be crazy.
That would be crazy to have Joel in New York.
They would give the whole roster.
It would just be one person on the court.
Just one verse five.
It would be us.
Us and Joelle.
Yeah.
Darius Garland had a good game, a crazy game last night for the Cavs.
He had 51 points.
He only missed like five threes or some shit.
He had a crazy game, but Donovan Mitchell wasn't playing.
And they lost.
Yeah, they lost.
He got some extra shots last night.
51 points, though, 10 for 15 from the threes.
Some crazy shit like that.
I like Darius Garland.
I think that he's one of the underrated players in the league.
Cleveland is dangerous, man.
Cleveland is going to be a really good team.
I don't know if Brooklyn wants to see Cleveland in the playoffs.
I love Kyrie, obviously, love Katie.
But that Cleveland Cavs team is a young, hungry, aggressive team.
And I think they're about one piece away from really, really being Eastern Conference finals, like, every year for the next few years.
Shout out to Darry's Garland.
Really good game.
I like him a lot.
Your Lakers picked up their third one of the year.
Yeah.
It's only up from here.
They beat the Nets.
Good job.
Listen, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anthony Vagos at 37.
I think they can win out from here.
Yeah.
Why not?
Oh, man.
I see a street.
We just, I don't know, man.
We got to, I don't know.
We got to make some changes.
I do like, I do like, I do like.
Clearly.
I do like the fact there.
Bold take.
crazy. Damn.
That's like when a...
I just don't even know what to say about...
Like, I just can't...
Listen, we've had our years of being bad.
Lakers, you know, and Kobe had a few years of some really bad rosters and not really
being a great team.
But this...
The Nick Van Exel years?
Yeah.
I mean, but even those years, even those years, we played better than this.
Oh, I mean, of course.
You know what I mean?
Any year.
Yeah, like, this is just, I don't get it, man.
I don't...
And this roster is, I know, aside from obviously, you know, Anthony Davis and LeBron and
and Russell, those big names.
The roster is just a bad.
This is a bad team.
It's not good chemistry.
This is a bad fucking team.
And I don't know, man.
I don't know.
Good to get a win against, you know, the Nets.
But we're going to probably lose the next seven.
But what else?
That's just how it goes with this team right now.
Win one, lose seven.
But good, great news around the sports world.
Rory, you know, the last dance documentary with Jordan,
We thought that that was, you know, the cream of the crop last.
Hurrah, if you will.
Yeah.
But Jordan Pippen are indeed back.
Oh.
Doing the big three or something?
Oh, that's late.
If you want to call it the big three, maybe I'll call it that.
But are they doing like commentary, the podcast together?
Nah, that'd be crazy.
Making amends?
Making something.
Space Jam 3.
Yeah, the family's together.
But not that Jordan Pippen.
Larson Pippen, Scotty.
Scottie Pippen's ex-wife and mother of his children.
Futures, girl.
Futures ex.
A few other names on the list, if you will.
And Marcus Jordan are officially have been spotted on beach dates.
Who's Marcus Jordan?
Is it like an actor?
Oh, no.
This is the goat's son, Michael Jordan's son.
And it's been, we've been getting pictures for a few months.
Wait, hold on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's official.
Michael Jordan's son is dating Scott.
Scottie Pippin's ex-wife.
Michael Jordan, the Michael Jordan, son, Marcus Jordan, is dating Larsa Pippin, the ex-wife to Michael Jordan's Batman, Robin, you know, the best two-punch combo we've seen in the NBA history.
That's Scottie Pippin, ex-wife, Larsa Pippin is dating Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan.
Damn.
Her a different type of combo.
So, you know.
That is a different combo.
that is a different package.
That is a different pick and roll that is being set.
So his ex-wife's father-in-law is Michael Jordan.
His ex-wife's like some Game of Thrones shit.
Mike did take that personally.
He's never putting that grudge,
no, no, no, no.
Since Marcus' playing career didn't pan out,
does this put him back in the conversation for,
like, we know he's got the Jordan Gene in him.
Is this it?
Ew.
Can't lose mentality.
Yeah.
No, this is it.
This is, I mean, listen, man, she used to, I'm pretty sure she babysat Marcus Jordan at some point in her life.
Do you think Scotty would have went to Portland had he known this?
Oh, my gosh.
I think that Scott.
Why didn't LeBron pull him to the side and say, hey?
Yeah, LeBron.
Why are you going to say, listen.
Jordan's son is eventually going to date your current wife right now.
That told him.
Where was LeBron?
Do you see that boy she babysitting?
He's going to grow up in a.
Also, have you.
heard the megos. He's going to, yeah, he's going to, he's going to smash them cakes.
Smash them cakes. It's just, I don't listen, man, I keep telling you,
everything that we think is impossible and will never happen is fucking happening.
You say it all the time, though, right? This is really a joke. No, this is real. This is a real
thing. They've been spotted on a beach date, looking like a couple,
in my acting like a couple. This is like a nasty soap opera when like the babysitter
eventually, it's like, oh, you're all grown up now. Yeah. Like,
This is...
Yuck.
Listen, man.
And how did they meet at Thanksgiving?
Like, this is fucking weird.
They met the 90s when she was babysitting him.
Yeah.
She was babies.
At the hospital.
At the hospital when he was born.
At the fucking arena.
At the United Center.
It's her godson.
Yeah.
Who's this little guy?
This is the craziest shit ever.
We're in the fucking simulation.
I keep telling you guys this shit.
So we'll have to wait and see what comes of it.
If you're Scotty Pippen, what are you doing?
If I'm Scotty Pippin?
Yeah.
Or I'm stepping to mic immediately.
To Mike.
Yeah, we got a fight.
Wait, why Mike?
And like, you know how you have...
Okay.
Get your son's fucking balls off my ex-wife's ass.
The fuck you meet.
You know when you have, like, parents...
Like your parents' friends that you call uncle, aunt,
and then their kids are like your cousins type of situation.
Yeah.
So, like, what...
If that was the case with them...
That was his auntie that wasn't his auntie.
Is that now their cousin slash stepfather?
Uh...
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, why would he be this?
Well, he's not about Marcus Jordan.
Marcus Jordan, yeah.
It's who stepfathers?
Scotty Pippin's kids?
Yeah, yeah.
Slash cousin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's my big cousin.
You think MJ is one of the Scotty's kids, God's father?
I would.
I would.
It's a safe assumption.
At least, I mean, if not, if it wasn't like an official that, it was like they call him
Uncle Mike.
They call each other cousins like, at least.
If you would have told me that Dennis,
Rodman would look like this most sane person out of the bunch in 2022.
I would have looked at you fucking nuts.
Dennis Robbins is a global humanitarian.
He's a global humanitarian.
Yeah, he's going fighting for world peace.
Yeah, he'd be chilling.
And Marcus Jordan is now banging Scotty Pippets ex-wife.
Damn.
The fact that Dennis Robin could open his phone and be like, you y'all are fucking crazy,
it's hilarious.
Bro, I'm telling you, this is a simulation.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know what the fucking rules are anymore.
She plays the clout game, right?
Isn't she like one of those?
She's a hottie.
Yeah, she's one of those.
She's outside.
So is this one of, is this one of those things?
I mean, well, she's just having fun.
What is she seeing Marcus?
Besides his childhood.
Besides him grow up and take his first steps.
That's creepy.
Oh, man, man.
It's, listen.
She's the creepy uncle at the barbecue.
Yeah.
Aren't you all grown up now?
I would love to know what Jordan thinks.
We don't talk about creepy aunties enough.
Oh, they are creepy aunties enough.
We don't have the conversation about creepy aunts.
Do you think once he turned 21, this could be even creepier now?
I think Scotty's probably going to go and through memories.
Like, you look just like your father.
Ugh.
Ugh.
She's 17 years older than him.
She's 48.
He's 31.
Yeah.
Oh, I mean, that's not.
I mean, that's not crazy.
No, in this story, that is not the craziest thing.
No.
That's not what's crazy about this story.
It's the relations.
It's the relationship.
Yeah.
Well, she just want.
I see where she's going with this.
You know, she wants the Jordan's before they drop.
She wants the shoe money.
Yeah.
Could you all be with a woman that's just plummeted?
15 old.
Easy didn't jump over the jump man.
Can I be with a woman that's 15 years old than me?
Yeah.
So, like, they'd be like 80.
Is it clear?
What's her name?
What's her name?
Larsa.
Larsa.
Did Larsa jump over the jump man?
She may not have jumped over him.
She jumped over him.
On him, yeah.
She did the same split.
Yeah.
She is the new logo.
Let me tell you.
No, he did the same split.
You know how they've been talking about making Jerry West, maybe not the logo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, Larsa.
Is Larsa?
Larsa is the new jump man logo.
Absolutely.
Or, hey, you guys aren't thinking this through.
Jump woman logo.
No, no, no, no.
All right, hold on.
Jump them.
Maybe we should give Scotty some credit or foresight here.
Mm-hmm.
Is he sending her to take the empire down?
Mm-hmm.
What if they get married and have a dicey divorce?
and she leaves with some stock
and gets back with Scotty
and now he owns some of Jordan Brand
I can guarantee you that
Lars of Pippen will not get any
Pete of Jordan brand out of Marcus Jordan
I can guarantee you
Haven't you seen Tommy Boy?
It's the same thing, okay
I can guarantee you Marcus Jordan
has no control of the Jordan Empire
Yeah but he'll inherit it
Okay, you think so?
I don't think so.
I don't think so either.
Not happening.
No funny.
Jordan would give that to one of his golf partners
Mike will give that to one of his pets before he gives him to Markets Jordan.
The fucking dog, the family dog will inherit the Jordan brand before Marcus Jordan.
We are talking Mr. Fuck Them Kids.
I mean, that's sounded weird, but absolutely.
No, no, we, yes, we know.
We know what you mean.
That was Garza.
Larsson is Mr. Father O'Neill.
Larson Pippin's the Father O'Neill.
Of the NBA.
Larson Pippin is Mr. Fuck them kids.
Laws say, man, fuck them kids.
No, no, literally.
Fuck them kids.
You guys are being.
Maybe Mark is a good listener.
He's listening, all right?
He's definitely listening.
You heard it.
That's nasty.
Well, we'll be back in New York sometime this week, I guess.
We'll have to get the fuck out of Atlanta.
As sad as it may be.
We are in Dallas and Houston this weekend.
Saturday, Sunday.
Saturday, Sunday.
Dallas on Saturday to 19th, right?
Correct?
In Houston on the 20th?
Yes.
You have Dallas at the Southside Music Hall and Houston at the Houston Improv.
Houston Improv. We look forward to seeing our Texonians.
Yes. A little turkey leg hut.
So yeah, man. Any plans for the rest of the day while we are here?
We're about to do dramas show on series.
Shout to DJ Drama.
Yeah. And then, you know, just enjoy the Atlanta breeze.
Get something to eat and fucking get some rest.
Yeah, that's a fact.
All right. Well, we thank y'all for listening to us. Thank you all for watching us.
We'll be back this week with a new episode. This has been a new episode.
