What you're going through? Like, why are you so exhausted? That's how I know y'all don't be fucking thick, bitch. Big bitches snore. Are we recording? Yes. I immediately regretted a threesome because one of them started snoring and it kept both of us up. And we kind of got to know each other better because we shouldn't sleep.

Oh, the girl you were fucking. Well, she was added. So you got to know each other better. She was the plus one. Oh, the girl that was snoring was the plus one. No. She was the one I knew. Oh, wow.

And then she brought the plus one and me and the plus one got to know each other because. Oh, so that you should thank her. I guess. I was really tired, though. I wanted to go to sleep. Yeah, like I'm going to go to sleep. even snore y'all two sit up and chat and then i laid down on the couch but did you did you did you did you did you like have a one-on-one with the girl yeah we spoke afterward no i mean like set off oh no i can't i haven't

fucked to snoring since college maybe wow i can't i can't just have that playing in the background just snoring i know you that's weird you got your horny levels up i said i fuck do anything i wouldn't give a fuck what's going on in the room it's really one of my only pet peeve what's going on in the world I just can't handle even like when you're rooming with a dude I can't the snoring shit I just can't take it But I don't mean like

It's so frustrating I don't mean like that I mean like cute snoring How do you think you snore I don't snore Now Demaris You snored while you were sitting You don't like lying in there

So I know you snowed Why you're trying to play like a big bitch That just be snoring while I'm wide away You snored You snored while you were sitting in that chair awake And I had to look over And make sure you were still with us Some big mouth breather over there.

Yeah, like, you're not going to tell me you don't be getting in some good snores while you sleep. I snore when I'm really, really, I'm told. I snore when I'm really, really tired. Like when I'm, like, exhausted, I'll snore. But, like, just a regular night tonight. When women snore, that's just them, like, practicing arguments in their sleep. Wait, how do you get that logic together? Yeah, yeah, that's all.

When women's snoring, she's just practicing what she's going to say when she wake up. They're just releasing anger. Yeah, it's like, look, she's still trying to talk. He's still trying to argue. That's their melaton. Go to sleep. It's okay. Just go to sleep.

The argument is over. Good rest will reconvene tomorrow. Can you shut up for once? Wow. You sleep on your stomach? I sleep on my stomach in the figure four. Yes. In the what?

Figure four. With the one leg up. Like the one leg. Oh, she sleeps like a flamingo. Yeah, she's ready for a nigga to just slide right in. Look how Demaris. She sleep with the tutored? Yeah.

She sleep. Just get some sleep. Just go to sleep. Yo, what's wrong with you? You ain't got to sleep like that, baby, Dee. That's the only way I can go to sleep. I can't sleep on my back. I have really bad sleep,

That figure four? Ooh, that's when she ready. That thing nice and ready. No, I'd be like that. In the bed by myself, knock the fuck out. And I don't use pillows. I have to lay my head flat on the, like, flat just on the mattress. I can't use pillows.

Oh, you're on those. Yeah. Serial killer vibes. Yeah. When you got, like, no pillow, that means you used to, like, sleeping on the run, like, fugitive shit. Like, you were conceived in prison. The logic in this, like, just in this episode alone.

So where you put the pillows are? You just throw the pillows, like, on the floor? Maybe on the side. Maybe all, like, kind of surrounded me. Oh, you build a fort? Wait, how many pillows do you sleep with? Well, I don't use any, but I have like five on my bed. Damn.

Five regular pillows. I'm sure there's someone outside of your apartment sleeping on concrete. How many pillows y'all sleep with? Two. Same. I mean, it's three on the bed, but I only use one. You guys have never have enough pillows. And you used them on the ground?

No, no. It's like there's two and then there's one in the middle of them. And then, like, I only use one, though, to sleep. But that pillow ends up, that pillow has legs. And I wake up, that should be by the bathroom. I'm like, how did they get over there? The throw pillows for sure. I'm like, how to fucking that pillow get all the way over there?

You're been to a girl's crib and sometimes the pillow case will like move a little bit to expose the real pillow. And she's probably had that shit since 97. Yeah. Buy new pillows, people. You can afford it. Drew stains? Yeah. Maybe some other stains.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You know that. It's definitely drools. And like, drill stains can't be that dark. That has to be something else. Oh. Well, that's a man.

You know, that's man drool. That's definitely man drool. Yeah. And it's a little brown. That's the hen he's sleeping out of his mouth. Sure. Yeah, that's that residue handy from his guns. She fuck someone that smokes Newport's for sure.

That's that blunt. That's that blunt Drew? Like, yo, what nigga are you fucking that smoked cigarrillos, man? Why this shit all in your pillowcase? I never understood that, though. They would buy, like, these beautiful pillows cases from Target, like super white. They're bleached. Everything's nice.

And then you just move the pill. Like, yo, just pay that extra $10. That ass. Get a new pillow. You ever seen a woman's mattress by accident? Oh, yeah. Yeah. If mattress can talk, right?

Yeah. Women's mattresses. Heavy flow days. It wasn't a tampon in sight. It's easier to fuck up a woman's mattress than as a man's. But that's why you should leave the plastic on the mattress. No. What?

Yeah. You put a hug. I'm not laying on. I'm not rolling around. No, crunching every time I go to fuck asleep. No, you put the, you put the, like the foam thing, like the, what is it called? The mattresses protecting on top of that.

Yeah. I have a mattress. With the foam thing, the memory foam thing. Like, you're not, you're not on. It's not just the sheet over the plastic. I was picturing you just straight sheet on plastic. And not even like the sheet that has like that little shit to grab onto the bed. No, that's some prison shit.

You can't know. You put the, you put the mattress protecting over the plastic. Right. And then you put the memory foam on it and then put your sheet on top of it. Yeah, you don't just put the sheet on top of the plastic. That's crazy. That's, anybody sleeping like that? It's like, fan, what's up, man?

I feel bad. I think the last time Demer stayed over. I didn't have time to wash. the guest room sheets from when my dad was there for like a week oh oh no never asked you about that night definitely like like casamigos and oh yeah shroom drool for sure sure sure definitely shroom drool shrewd true drool what does shroom drool smell like i mean it's it's it's got a potent taste to it yeah it's it's yeah you know it's shrooms like you know it's nothing else but shrooms how often do y'all your sheets if it's the same set or just switch my sheets no that's different every two

Change your sheets. Yeah, once a week. Oh, I do every two weeks. Every two weeks? Is that crazy? I do once a week. Yeah, every two weeks is kind of wild. Really?

Yeah, that's wild. Oh, damn. There was a kid I went to college with that changed the sheets and wash sheets every day. No. It's really odd. And that gentleman went on to shoot up how many campuses. Yeah. That's crazy.

That's definitely. St. Peters was never the same. Yeah, that's definitely like campus shooter vibes. Like, if you're washing your sheets every day, what's up, man? Like, how dirty do you think you are? Yeah. Like, what are you doing? Every day?

And then didn't shower with shower shoes. You just raw dog in your feet, but your sheets. But your sheets are squeaky clean, though. I don't know. Nasty. That's nasty. Anyways, we can intro the show. Welcome to a new episode of the new Rory and Moll podcast.

I am Maw. I'm Rory. And we are back with another episode of the audio journey for you, unsuspecting listeners. And before that intro, that was Roryi featuring Ari Lennox and James Fonsori. Phone Can Die. My phone can die, rather. Available on all DSPs now.

Wow. Look at that. Albums come in May 26th. So one more week. And it's here. Had to give y'all another single real quick. You scared? No.

Kind of relieved, to be honest. He never scared. Get this shit off. Yeah. So, yeah, one more week to the album. Right now, go stream. My phone can die. I don't know how to sound more excited.

I'm excited. And it's a fire record. You should be excited. Yeah. But I'm not Calid. But don't tell nobody their phone can die, though. Why? Because that's going to cause way too many, you know, unhappy homes.

Well, the song is about finally me. meeting someone where you don't mind if your phone just dies. Like you just want to enjoy your time together. So I know that's maybe a foreign concept to you, but you know, some people put their do not disturb shit on it at 6 p.m. And some people just let it die. Can some of y'all stop that like have jobs and like are in the workforce?

Yo, my phone will be on do not disturb. My phone will be on do not disturb. It'll be 11 p.m. Rory will call me twice because he knows it's on do not disturb for a reason. It's the middle of a work day. And I wasn't even. talking about us included, but we should all have our phones off the notification shit. But like, I'm trying to reach a lawyer at 2 p.m. on a Wednesday.

And it's like, oh, notifications are silenced right now. I'm like, you're a lawyer. Yeah, they're on lunch break fucking their wives. Like, people have things to do. What? What? What would have a missed phone call interrupt their fucking? Yeah, just trying to ring off, you know, just to like.

No, to vibrate. The vibrate. Yeah, we're taping. I respect it, like, at night. I'm one of those people as well. But that shit starts to give me anxiety with people that I need answers from and we're in the middle of workday. and you have your notifications on silent.

I've never put my phone on Do Not Disturb. Apparently that's. I put like certain chat groups on Do Not Disturb. Like ours? Yeah. Oh, for sure. For sure. Our group chat is not on Do Not Disturb.

But I have other ones that I'm just like, because they just be in there all day talking about shit that they see in on the street. I'm like, come on. Not shit they see it on the street. Yeah, like the homies is putting pictures of like drunk dudes in the Bronx. I'm like, I don't want to see that. There is nothing worse than just walking back to your phone after like 10 minutes and not looking at it.

you have 45 text messages. Yeah. Like someone's either dead, I'm being canceled. Like what's going on? What the fuck is going on? So did, the do not disturb,

uh, when you put your entire phone on, do not disturb, I don't understand that part. Because when was the last time? Group text, definitely. What was the last time

you had 45 text messages and it was for a good reason? It's never happened to me. It's never good. It's never good. It's never been wrong. My cardie be shot out. Oh my God.

Oh my God. I never mentioned it, but that was the last time I had 45 text messages. It was a good thing. Okay. We can get another. update. Yeah. What's, what's life been since? Yeah. Tell us, tell us how you've been.

People still hitting you up that you haven't spoken to and, oh, since high school. No, but hold it. Ever since Cardi's shot at, we're like, what's up with you, yo? Damaris is in a wine glass. In a wine glass. Yeah, you're just a whole different. I'm drinking wine at work. But you never had it like right there, though. Not red white. Is that a cabinet? And that's a cabinet. That's not even like. Not a cabinet. Yeah, that's not, that's a cabinet. Yeah, like, what's up with you, yo? Well, I actually usually only drink red wine on dates. But this is all we had. If Cardi don't give you no tickets to her next show,

that shoutout is not valid. Yeah. Okay. But the only way she's going to get it is what y'all would have clown me with Drake. She would have to DM Cardi and be like, yo, can I get tickets? No, no, no. You think Cardi has a list of people before she goes on tour. He's like, let me reach out.

I mean, she shouted out. So then she should be like, you know what? Reach out to Damaris. Demaris. Let's get some tickets to the show. Make sure she comes like. Okay. You can't hit her, though, and be like, yo, it's DeMaris.

Remember you shout. It's Demaris. It's Demaris. Her IG name is Demaris. You can't do that. You got to just hope that Cardi still remembers you and loves you and, like, send you tickets. Cardi B does not know who I am. Whoever on her team that briefs her on shit, probably show.

No, she watched the clip. She probably went to dish you and they were like, eh, eh, oh, this the show, but don't diss her because she was standing up. I still don't feel like Cardi was dissing me. I feel like she was talking to other people. Both you guys are still on this. No, no, I really don't. Like, I looked at that.

I don't think she was, definitely was referring to me and some of that. But I think it was like other shit, too, though. Oh, no. Yeah, you aren't the only one. Yeah, yeah, because I definitely didn't shit on cars. It was like when Hove does subs. Every rapper catches one subtly in there. You were just one of the rappers.

Speaking of Hove, you're bored, man. Listen, you know we the Hovangers. Yeah. I can't be on this one, though. That's the Black Panther. What do you just do? Oh, I was trying to do.

Don't worry about it. Yeah, no, don't worry about it. We got it. All right. Oh, my God. I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. He has the Rockefeller sign, but I'm a superhero like

17-0-0-0-0-Vencers. the video. You know where the HoVengers. Like a superhero. You guys get your man's dog. Super Hove. He's trying to open a fucking casino on Times Square. Well, it's not just Hove, but Yeah, you see how they just put it on like it. I promise you as other people, it's a whole group.

Okay, but we only know Jay Z out of all those anonymous billionaires. Well, that's the name that are all leaving. Yeah, they're going to leave with that name. Yeah. Listen, man. A Caesar's Palace casino. Are we, are we allowed to say this as HoVengers? Is everyone scared? No.

Just get a word. Fucking ruined Brooklyn. with the Barclay Center. Now he's going after Times Square. Wow. It's already fucked up. How could he fucking up even? Brooklyn, actually.

Some would say otherwise. Helping. A lot of the local residents would say gentrification really kicked in for real in that area once that Barclay Center went. Good. It should. Wow. You niggas is slinging dope to end down the community all these years. And there was somebody coming in there and try to put money in the community.

You niggas is mad. I'm not going to let you get that off. Everyone in that area of Brooklyn was selling drugs. No, not everyone. But that wasn't like a prestigious area. It doesn't matter. There were plenty of older people or people who have been there their whole entire lives that... Taxpaying citizens that never so...

Can't afford to live there anymore. Yeah, no. Listen, it happens. But it's also... Niggas is also killing and selling dope right around the corner from that shit too, though. Fair, but one could also say that the Barclay Center directly pushed out an entire community that could no longer afford the area they'd been living in their entire lives. It happens, bro.

That's why the Hudson Valley... But just because it happens doesn't mean it's okay. I mean, it happens. What do you want to do? you want people to you don't want like jobs it also helped the community a lot too though there's a lot of jobs now in the community as a result of that like don't just look at people not being able to live there look at all of the jobs that people have to people who are working there probably can't afford to live in that area there they now have to move but yeah they can't

work there but they can't afford to live in new york anyway i love the apple bees and target there too but i couldn't work there and live in that community now with the salary that apple bees would give me fuck you can't you can't afford to live in most communities with the salary that Applebee's. I agree. That has nothing to do with like... But I'm saying for compensation of being kicked out of my own neighborhood, I get an Apple's bead job. Like, I just don't think it's a fair trade.

Well, I mean, listen, things will happen in the communities. Like, there will be changes. There will be gentrification. There will be businesses that go up in places that we probably would like, damn, I miss just being like an old high school right here. Well, good tech is still there. Yeah, keep in mind now that they're aiming to put this in Times Square. How do we feel about that? For those that don't know, Jayzey's partnering with, I'm sure, a bunch of other faceless billionaires to put a casino in Times Square.

A Caesar's Palace. A Caesar's Palace at that. I mean, if he wants to gentrify the M&M store out of there, I'm cool. Is that not gone? But I don't know. The Eminem store is gone, I think. Times Square is already a fucking mess as is, and I understand it's a tourist attraction that none of us even try to go near if we can help it or cross through. We know what time it is.

But this, I think, is going to take it to a new level. Like, this is going to bleed outside of. time square it's a casino and stats and data would never lie of course but crime rates go crazy when you place a casino in any vicinity I mean if it turns time square in an old time square

I might be for it like when it was dangerous but I think this is just going to cause like just more unnecessary tourist bullshit like does it need to be in time square I mean I understand what I understand people are saying as far as you know just it being in time square

and it being an influx of more people that is already a heavy populated area of the city, but I don't know. I mean, you're putting it at a Times Square where it's already traffic, where it's already people every day anyway. Now you're banking on most of those people wanting to go to a casino. You got people, I mean, I don't know if anybody that lives in New York City, most times out of not, you at least visit Manhattan once a week, twice a week maybe. Now, do people start coming to Manhattan more often as a result of a casino being there?

Does that bring in more tourism to New York City? I mean, New York City already has one of the highest tourist rates in the world. So I don't know. Me personally, I just think it's a bad time to try to put a casino in a city where now you're asking people to come spend money and gamble money that they probably don't have, that they probably should be spending on other things. Those are my, I'm not worried about traffic and, you know, shit like that with this shit. I'm also like, this is this bad timing because, you know,

A lot of people are just really getting on their feet after the pandemic, if they're getting on their feet at all. And now you want them to spend money, gamble money. But at the same time, when Fandole became legal in New York City, we saw how much money that raised. Yeah. So I don't know who's broke anymore. I don't know what to believe.

Like, tell me it's a recession, people are broke, but then you look at Fandu making a billion dollars in the first two months or some shit like that or the first month. It was like, all right, who's really broke? But is that the reason this may fail? Because, I mean, I know Atlantic City is drastically different than Vegas or what New York City would look like if it had a real casino in Manhattan.

It's mainly old people that go to casinos as far as the frequent person. Old people are not dragging their old asses into Times Square to go play. Oh, they will. Yes, they will. Oh, they will. I don't know about that.

When people gamble, the young kids are obviously now all have gambling addictions since everything's been made legal, but you can gamble on your phone. Most people are gambling from home. But that's sports betting. Sure. Vandos.

But also like the, online poker shit. But it's different when you go to casino and you want to play, you know, cards or, you know, roulette or whatever, things like that. Like, there's still a lot of people, like I said, older people that that's their wreck.

Like, they go there and just hang out in the casino all day, gamble there, social security checks. The goddamn machines. Yeah, slot machines. Like, this is just, I mean, it's entertaining. They're going to lean heavy on events, I would imagine. Concerts and boxing would have to be a huge part. Because, again, I just don't see the older.

crowd pulling up to Times Square. I don't see them leaving Long Island in New Jersey or deep parts of Queens in Brooklyn to come to Times Square to gamble. I see you. They'll get on a bus to Atlantic City. Don't get me wrong. I don't know if they're going to want to walk through fucking Times Square to do this.

They'll definitely go to Times Square. It's Times Square. It's the center of New York City. It's the center of the world. People go to Times Square. Now you're saying we're going to have a Caesar's Palace in Times Square. People are definitely going to go to it. I just think that the timing of it is just a little weird because again we're supposed to be in a recession we're supposed to be people supposed to be not have money and things like that and then you want them to gamble their money

that's the only thing i'm looking at a little weird like yes that's the time you take advantage of people when they're in a recession which is fucked up the hope it is fucked up that's all i'm worried about the traffic and all that shit new york city figured out i don't i mean i'm gonna get super local with this real quick though the holland tunnel was closed for how many years i don't know if you've been by the lincoln tunnel lately but it's a fucking mess because the hollandtunnel's Clothed. I doubt this will go up super quick. I'm sure this will take about five years.

The Holland, maybe. The Holland was enclosed. I mean, during the day. It closed that over night. It closed that up at night. It closed that up at night to like 5 in a morning. Yeah, until 2025. And where do you, I mean, you don't think the casino would be the nighttime

crowd? Like, people can't go through the Holland. And the Lincoln's right there and it's already going to be clogged up. I go through the Lincoln after 11 p.m. now on a weekday. And it looks like fucking rush hour traffic. Oh, but. But you know, they'll make shit available. The ferry is going to be, they're going to have fairies that bring more ferry action now.

This is going to be a mess. It's going to be a fucking mess. It probably wouldn't go up until probably 2025. It'll be a while. I figured it'll be a while. But I'm just saying already with a mess. For the Holland Tunnel to be done. Okay, on top of that as well, another thing I'd said to add that we didn't add, the Daily News,

which is a very reputable paper, is saying that the ground of the island of Manhattan may not be able to even hold the amount of construction. that we're putting on it. I'm going to make it even more local. And you guys know when we were at my crib in Jersey City, the amount of construction that's going on right now is fucking insane. Probably the worst construction traffic in the United States right now is in Jersey City.

And that's because, one, the pipes are old as fuck. But two, they're building a luxury building every fucking day. And those streets were built into the 1900s. Like they can't hold this type of weight of luxury buildings and the things that need to go through that concrete. Manhattan's fuck

If we get a Caesar's palace And they can't hold the buildings Well that's because you keep drilling They keep drilling and digging into the city So which is now the infrastructure The ground and everything is like compromised now And like you said all these developments Keep going up all these luxury buildings

Different you know stores Everything they're just drilling drilling drilling digging into the ground So naturally it's shit is sinking Shit is dropping Because y'all don't dug up everything And you know And now it's like

you know they're saying it's sinking like we're below like what is it uh not below uh sea level not sea level is it i i think manhattan might be below sea level is it it very well might be no way there's a lot of places that are below sea level that you wouldn't like realize are below new york city might be below sea level yeah now that i think about it listen we've been very lucky for the amount of time that we've all been here living in new york it just takes one wave but we see it when it we are gone

when we get like a week of rain we see it like the whole episode we're not below sea level but we're very close Sandy of course was nuts but like that was light compared to what could happen

oh 100% I mean of course Dennis Quaid tried to warn us a day after tomorrow but you know you guys didn't want to pay attention documentary that was not

talking yes it was he saved the sun you saw Jake Gyllenhaugh. Man, that movie was so terrible when you think about it. He walked from, we walked from Philly to no, no, DC. He walked from D.C. to New York City. Yeah. In the snow. In the snow sheds. And a crazy blizzard. Yeah. Yeah. And then, I mean, they were all doomed, but then when he found his son in the library, the sun came out. Well, I'm voting for, uh, I'll say no to the casino. I do too. I think it's going to be a mess. I don't really see

benefit of it. I understand now everyone's getting into the gambling world because it's been made legal. I get the lick, but. We can't keep praying on people that already don't have money and then put a casino and say, hey, come on, come give us more your money. It's just, nah. I guess the cop out for, I assume Jay would be like, well, it's Times Square. It's already ruined. Like, adding in another tourist attraction isn't going to change much.

And it's not like we're putting it in an actual neighborhood that would ruin it. So I guess that's the cop out, but I still think it's going to ruin everything above Times Square and below Times Square for a good amount of blocks. So if you guys feel like that's, not beneficial to the neighborhood. How do you guys feel about Rick Ross's car show being stuff? I didn't think anything about it. I read on this.

Nothing about it. I read on this because Rick Ross had his car show last year, and it was a, from what I saw, it was a big, big hit. A lot of people came out. A lot of classic cars were on his property. I brought my mom's Mazda. Well, there you go. One best in show.

But the neighbors in his neighborhood, they were complaining about traffic and, you know, just the influx of people, garbage and things like that, as a result of the show. So this year... He does it at his crib? He does it at his crib on his property. But naturally, you know, there's just a whole bunch of people. So cars are parked on the street, things like that. But, you know, Ross is, he's understanding, but he's saying, like, you know, the community should embrace it because it's actually bringing money to the community.

He said last year he paid some kids from the area. they cleaned up. They made some money helping to clean up. He said some of the neighbors should offer for people to park in front of their house,

charged them. You know what I mean? Like $50, $100 to park here. But I'm sure that community probably would prefer peace rather than

a couple extra $100. They just don't want just don't want just the influx of people and the noise and the garbage and loitering and things like that

in their neighborhood. But Ross said he's still on, even though the city said that he can't do it, but he's saying it's a private party on private property. It's his property. It's his land. He owns it.

So he's saying that people can come and he's having, you know, he's still doing it, business as usual. But I do feel like the cops will be there and they will stop people from getting to his property. It's wild that this story is on TMZ. Well, I mean, it's slow news week. That's really more. I don't really care to talk about this Rick Raw situation rather than that being a new story on TMZ. Not say they're above anything, but he did say he's running for mayor now.

now as a record of this. He said next year he's going to run for mayor of the town because he's like, okay, this is y'all way of trying to stop me from doing something, I'm going to become the mayor. Under like his government name or is it going to be like, you know, Mayor Richard Ross? Like what, how is that going to work? I don't know which name he's going to.

Mayor Ricky? But he did say. Mayor Ricky. And that's the result of him just feeling like, okay, y'all trying to stop me from doing something that is basically like, you know, just it's beneficial for business, for my brand and things like that. It's just a car show. It's part of my lifestyle.

I don't think there were any reports of violence, anything like that last year. So he's looking at it like, what's the problem with it? But, you know, neighbors, they're like, we pay those money to live in these nice houses in this area. We don't want all of this shit in our neighborhood. So that's just what it is. Wait, so what's more salacious? This or Charlemagne having to live up to his promise after Adidas and Kanye started working together. Well, I think Charlemagne's dick debt is hilarious.

I'm sorry. What did you just call that? His dick debt. Dick debt. Got it. He's in a red. He's in dick debt. He's red.

If you think about it, because I think the first time he said... He's up to his knees. Yeah. Indictor. On his knees. He's on his knees in dick debt. The first time was he said he would perform fallacious on a man if...

A specific man. If 6'9 came back and was successful, had a successful music career, I think is what he said. Well, probably misquoting him, but I don't really care. Let's misquote him. Is that he would win the trial. If he won the trial, then he'd have to suck some dick.

He didn't win the trial, per thing. Okay. So he got out of the dick zone with that. He kind of got out of the dick zone. own for that one. Okay. Now this time he had the same lawyer as 6-9 to get out of that case. Maybe. Because if you look at it, 6-9 did kind of win that case. Yeah.

For what he was facing, he got off. He had to be a rat. I mean, he cooperated. Yeah. It's a win. A win is a win, right? Yeah. But this one now, because he said... We let that first dick slide, Sean. Yeah, we let... We understood the case you made. He didn't really win. He didn't go to trial and win. We understand. It's a little... It was a little slippery there. But

this one now, because he said that he would... again perform fallacious on a man if Adidas got back in business with Kanye West. Whatever happened to the good old fashion push-up bets? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how we got... I got 25 push-ups. Not as interesting. Kanye gets back with Adidas. Yeah, but did he have to

go to sucking dick? I mean, he didn't really necessarily make a bet. He was on Flagrant 2. Shout to those guys. And he was just like, if that really does happen in the world that that can happen, even sub-suffing. I'm willing to perform relation. I mean, I'm a female and I don't we make it dick sucking bets? So...

I don't know. Well, that's the problem. That actually sounds like a great plot to a rom-com. Yeah, like, I think that should be, like, women should make more. That's the poor plot. Remember those old high school movies where they would, like, bet to make, like, the nerdy girl, the prom queen? Like, DeMaris and her friends could do, like, dick-sucking bets. You're the nerdy girl.

Wait, actually, they have that show. It's called Sex and the City. It already happened. Never mind. Uh-huh. That was funny. Thanks, man. I didn't laugh, but that was funny.

It's cool. I held back on the Rick Ross thing, too, because he's already held a public service job. so he may be great for mayor. Wow. Okay. You try to go back to back on him. Anyway, back to Charlemagne and the dick debt that he is owned.

He may have to pay up to somebody. This one, no. This Kanye Deid's thing, I think Charlemagne might be in trouble. Now, I heard him on the breakfast club. You're talking about technically they're not back in business. No, Charlemagne, technically they are because they agreed that they will continue to sell easy products

and Kanye will be paid from those products. The rest of the portion is going to turn. That sounds like business. That sounds like business to me. sounds like you have to suck a dick. Salameane, you either pay up or get out of the culture. All right? We're tired of you, not making good on your dick-sucking

bets. Well, who is like the IRS version of this, though? Who's going to like make sure Charlemagne? Andrew Shalach. Wack? Pace is. Or whack, yeah. Wack, one hundred? Wack or willie? Wack for sure going to be on clubhouse. Like, Charlemagne out there. You suck that dick on Paroo. On Paru is nasty.

Holy shit. Yeah, but Charlemagne, we're not letting that go, man. Stop making dick sucking bets. if you're not going to pay up your bet, man. Because that's, you owe Kanye maybe not him fallatio, but you owe somebody fallatio in the name of Kanye and Adidas being in the business. Stop redicking on those bets, man.

Because Kanye and Adidas are, in fact, back in business. Also, did he ever say whose dick? No, I don't think he was specific. I think he wanted to keep his options open. You're adding too many specifics. Yeah, you're trying to be too many tangibles. I was out of line there. He's just a contract.

He's made it very generous that he would do it if Kanye and Adidas got back in business. Well, I don't know how we'll ever see it, but Maybe it's something Triller hosts. I can't even say we'll put it on Triller. Maybe it could be an undercard on the next versus. Oh, J.D. and Puff.

Nobody's watching that. Nobody's watching that. She's probably. You'd be surprised somebody. I think a lot of people would watch it. You won't watch that amazing suck a dick? No. No, that's not.

You talking to me? That's such an odd question. No. I can't even believe she asked you that. I was in an odd question when y'all. said it would be on trailer i said would you watch plenty of things on triller that i don't watch what you're talking about you know how many shit

it's how much it happened to triller that i never watched what are you talking about you think that i would actually be like yo what's on a charlemagne shit come on shit like that not everything is diff set versus the lot the fuck no i'm not watching that oh my bad i got you fucked up no you got me all the way fucked up but it's okay i mean he probably get the bag

though i mean that's he's on crazy tees his own we can't keep letting jay Would that make them a prostitute? A what? A prostitute? No, that wouldn't make them. Not really.

Only fans deal could come from that. Yeah, every only fan's deal ain't a good deal, though. Now, imagine that kind of betting, though, but in that new casino in Times Square. Ah, they could, yeah, to open Caesar's Palace, it would be, Chuck, because it could also bring awareness to the effects of gambling and making bets,

and sometimes the consequences of what they can be. So, yeah, this could be a very anti-gambling thing that we could open Caesar's Palace with. Like, look, sometimes you shouldn't make. bets and when you make bets you might take a dick have to pay your debts like a bad air commercial yeah it's it remember when they used to show those those gambling awareness ads where it'd be like the fake mob guys like we're gonna break his legs yeah this could be the new version of like look what happens and now it's someone you're caught cheating sucking a dick you gotta go in the back and they make

you suck some dick excuse oh well oh for gambling if you could call cheating yeah yeah yeah so you know charlemagne could be bring a lot of awareness i think he's big on the mental health thing being this positive person of community. He could write a book about it. But what if there's a dude that like sucking dick? I'm like, oh, y'all caught me again. I guess, sir, this is your fifth time here this week. So you're suggesting after he was caught and said you caught me,

he then went back to sucking dick. That's what I'm saying. You can't. He's like, he's like the John Moran of Dick Suck. You got to think about that. Wow. Wow. Just continues on.

Like handling a different type of gun. That's sick. The John Moran of dick sucking is crazy. I said I wouldn't do it again. You know, there's really people that's literally saying that, and this, I don't know, man. Every day I just, shit just surprises me. But there's people that's actually saying that Jama Rant is being treated unfairly.

By people, you mean shit. A lot of people. He's a black man. If it was, what if his gun's legal and y'all only do us to our own? Shut the fuck up. Jai's only, he's only going to really learn because you get it to a dangerous point when you make it through something and you'd be like, oh, that wasn't that bad. Well, let me ask you a serious question.

If he does lose his Nike deal, will you suck a dick? Wait, what? What? What? What? What? What? How does that?

No. Oh, okay. I won't. What if he keeps it? I won't. Okay. You're not, well, you're not committed to these bets. No, I'm not committed to none of those type of bets.

Why do people feel like that's from chat GBT? This seems like a very standard-ass. Because he didn't, because he just went through this. That's why. I think it was more of a joke. It's a joke. But it's like, yo, fam, you just went through this. You said the same.

same shit two months ago it was man simple though i feel like we're putting too much credit on a i though no i feel like we're putting too much credit on the journey on the journey what what journey you're talking what journey you talk there's no journey you're doing dumb shit and again you just josh young we understand he's 23 has a lot of money everybody at 23 was doing dumb shit i don't know any any most 23 olds were doing dumb shit my thing is there could be you know what lebron probably did this at one point when he's 23 but guess what lebron didn't do he didn't have nobody recorded well in his age there was no real lie There wasn't an IG live

I'm just saying There's other players at this age who have done dumb shit They just didn't have somebody recording the dumb shit Yeah They didn't have somebody posting the dumb shit

Social media Now, you know His friend In this second video His friend, to be clear His friend didn't know that he pulled that gun out He tried to move the camera

Yeah His friends Whenever he's on IG live His friends have hundreds That's why his friends Keep going live Because they know Fans will think

They're with job And shit like that Yeah there's a lot of people on those lives. Yeah, but don't put that on the friend this time, though. No, I'm not putting it on the friend. No, no, definitely. The friend, I already told you all, the friend move quick.

Going to the strip club by yourself and spending that much money in the back room, I don't care if you're a billionaire, taking your shirt off and you're sober, mad red flex. No, no, I'm with you. I'm with you on that. So many red flags. I just thought that we would never see that again. That, to me is a little like, so he's just going to have to learn his less than his time, unfortunately, but I think it will help him in the loan.

I mean, he could sign a rap a lot. Maybe Jay Prince could fix this whole thing with the commissioner. Right. Not a terrible idea. That's a horrible idea. The Adams River Jay Prince sit down would be one of the greatest things to ever exist. So Jay Prince hit the net yesterday because everybody was saying, yo, I thought this was you and Birdman.

I'm like, fuck y'all. I thought this thing. I see it. So Jay Prince sat down with NBA Young Boy and Birdman. I guess they had a talk at NBA Young Boy's house in Utah. Well, I believe it was an accidental running. I don't think Jay Prince even knew. Jay Prince didn't know Birdman was going to be there at the time, I guess.

So they all spoke and sat down in regards to and be a young boy. He had some bars directed at Drake in his last album that just came out. And so Jay Prince said that sat down. He put them on FaceTime because Drake is his son. And, you know, Drake rolls with him. And, you know, it's all about respect and things like that. Don't forget about the little threat he threw in there. The subtle threat.

What was a subtle threat? Drake is my son. He rolls with me. Therefore, I think it's a good idea to take him off your enemy list. That is a threat. Is that not a threat? Not legally. He did not legally threaten him, but we all speak the same language.

It's close to a threat. It's like, it's threat-ish. I'm not going to say close. I'm going to say that's a threat. It's threat-ish. It has some threat energy in it. I think it's a good idea. But I like the fact that he says,

because the truth of the matter is that we got nothing but love for Dirk of course. And your accomplishment. So, you know, the first words is kind of a little like, it's a little stern. But you have to you have to maneuver through this threat. We have love for Dirk and your accomplishments.

We don't have love for you. We appreciate as who you are and what you're doing and what you've accomplished. We can respect that. I think it's a good idea to take him off your enemy list because we love Dirk and we just think it's great that you sell a lot of records.

Well, we don't love you. I just, here's where, this is, because he could have easily said we got love for Dirk and you. Yeah, but if you know anything about NBA young boy and if you follow him, you know that. I got, it's more bars coming. Oh, for sure. It's more bars coming for sure. It's more bars coming.

Like, I don't, this is not to me, it's okay, I love the fact that, you know, Jay Prince sat down and spoke to him and they put Drake on the phone and they tried to talk it out. if you just follow NBA Youngboy you have to know that there's definitely some more bars coming I mean it was out of the album like every other month and there was some that that came this week which resulted in this whole sit down right

well it was from the album yeah it was it was some bars on the album which I think the back story and please correct me if I'm wrong that came from Drake had committed to giving NBA young boy a verse I believe and because the tension between him and dirt and Drake having a relationship with Derek was like I can't give you a verse. Yeah. But do you understand that?

Of course. What? If I'm an NBA young boy, I get it. I'm, I would feel away. But you got to respect that, though. Like, okay, I understand that's your people's, you know, you have a relationship. But also, you can respect that, all right, you chose the side of dirt, which I get, but now you're in the line of fire. Like, I think it's fine that young boy did Drake in a healthy way.

Yeah, I'm not mad at that. I just think that, you know. again, it's just weird because the Dirk, Drake thing, we understand. Dirk and Drake have a real relationship. Right. But I... Yeah, they went to the Nike store together.

Yeah, but Drake is so big of an artist that I don't think that you can feel any type of way for him saying like, no, I got a relationship with dude. Like, I can't do the song with you because me and him are like really close. And it's also not fully a rap beef. I guess a little different in that regard.

So I fully understand Drake's stance, but I get Young boy's stance too. All right, cool. I get it. That's your man. You won't give me a verse. I'm going to dish. I'm going to dish you with him. He'll go these balls now. Like, I understand it. Even if I disagree with it, I understand it. So, I mean, I hope Birdman and Jay Prince and everyone

solve that for behind the scene shit. If everyone wants to dis each other on records, I have a fucking blast. Right. But we know Young Boys' records. It's not just that. Do we ever think that NBA young boy and Dirk will get to a point of no peace whatever whatever you were about say after that

my no no way down the line if anything I will suck I will suck a dick if they could wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow now you know just because he said that you know life is crazy life is crazy life is crazy guess what I'm also a liar

yes because you said that you know what's great to happen next week I could also lie you think that is going up when you see young boy and Dirk in the snow or snowmobiles like the young guns and the better love video now all right

Honestly, I would love for them too dead that because clearly there has been death involved with it. Yeah. So, of course, I want them to. Like, I'm not going to suck a dick for World Peace. But I do really hope that young boy and Dirk do settle that. I just can't see a world where that happens. It's gone too far. Right.

How do you settle that? So in what world, since you can't see a world, and what world you're going to suck the dick in? Because I want to know. Wait, what? Wait, what? Wait, what? I think the fact that they just trying to put you in that bike is crazy. We did we say Rory volunteer to suck dick or do?

did. Yeah, you did say he was going to suck dead. His mouth open if I was here to suck in. Should I add that into my bundles for my album now that Billboard allows it? That'd be a crazy bundle. But the album comes up. That's a wild bundle. Wait.

The album will come with it. So Billboard has like brought, if people don't remember, Billboard took away the ability to add album sales from your merch, your tickets, everything. And we saw numbers from superstars dropped drastically. But it had to happen. And they've introduced a new way to, um, to bring that back.

Demaris, you mind reading exactly what the stipulations are here? And while she does that, I will explain with my bundle, I will not be sucking dick in the bundle. I don't want an album sale that bad. Fuck. Well, I don't know why you look at me in my eyes?

Yeah, why did you stare at his eyes? That would be like, that's a lot of dick to move the needle. The things you got to do to sell records that is crazy, man. To just move that needle your own. I remember when it was just, you'll put a good album out.

People will love it. They'll embrace it. They'll buy it. Women in the industry been sucking a dick to get their albums out for years. Okay. I'm not being the only being

about to. I'm going to say. I'm going to say, I'm going to. Men have been doing that too. Don't get it twisted. So for these packs, right, they're only restricted

to two options per album release. So you can do like a t-shirt and an LP or like a vinyl and some socks, but like that's it. You can't do more than two. Only merch. So no tickets,

no tour tickets, no meet and greets. Like they used to do, none of that. counts towards album sells just the merch. And it has, so it has to be something tangible, something that you can touch. And it has to include a physical copy of the album. So if Roy wanted to sell me some socks and slide a CD in there with it, that will count.

Even though technically I didn't buy his CD, it came with my stocks. It counts. Wait, what? Yeah. I mean, I get it. It has to be a tangible item. That last loophole was fucking crazy. No, yeah, I understand that.

But I think this is still going to cause a problem, though. Why? I'm sure someone will find some way to get around this. But if you're doing a bundle and there is a physical copy of the album, whether it be vinyl. I mean, I don't know if people are going to do the CD thing. Or CD. Yeah. I think if you're getting a vinyl from me, that's a fucking album sale.

Yeah. All of the tracks are. Now, putting a link at the bottom of a confirmation of me selling you a T-shirt. It's a wild loophole. Yeah. You can't do that. No, they got rid of that. Yeah.

But I think if you're getting a vinyl, like, yeah, I don't know how lucrative that's going to be for artists. It's not. And I think that's the point. Well, I mean, labels used to buy CDs. Like, you know that, right? They used to buy bolts. Yeah, absolutely. So I can see, we're going to see vinyl from artists that we would never expect vinyl from.

Like, that's not even that world. and I can see labels buying a bunch of vinyl and just kind of giving it with T-shirts and adding to albums, though. I think it'll probably be CDs

because CDs are cheaper to make them vital. Way cheaper. C-D. Where the fuck you gonna play a CD at? They don't want them to play it. But not everybody has a vital player either. But that's what I'm saying.

To me, that's crazy. Yeah, but fuck it. You can't even play that. But people like it. Having the art, having the actual tangible item. I have CDs from some artists from that.

But not even that. If I'm going to go, buy a bare minimum boy's t-shirt or whatever, let's say, and Rory's album comes with it. Okay, sure. God damn it. I was going to buy the t-shirt already. Oh, my bad dog. He wasn't thinking of the band. I was going to buy the t-shirt already. Okay, I get the album. That count as an album sale for him. Even though I wasn't going to buy the album, I've already been illegally fucking streaming on Napster. I now still get his album. So it still counts as an album sale, even though I wasn't going to buy it.

It doesn't matter that I have nowhere to play the fucking seat. I was never going to buy it to begin with. but he still gets the sell off. I had a, I've actually never talked about this. I had an interesting conversation with someone at Spotify when we were with the O-Pod and I was started to manage emotional oranges. And when I would play the songs on there and we were a Spotify exclusive podcast at that time, I was arguing to them that that should count towards the streams of emotional oranges because it was streamed at that time.

And I have the exact data of the amount of people that were listening at that time, that should count as a stream. And of course, I was laughed out of the office. And it wasn't like a, like I ran in there like, like, I demand. I didn't run in like ice cute in NWA and start smashing the plaques. But I did try to make an argument that that should exist that if we're playing music on podcast, that that stream should go to the artist in which it was played. And I thought that would value podcasts and music connection way more. But they were like, no. Like how many seconds? They didn't even give much explanation. They were like, no. How many seconds have to be played, technically?

For a stream, I think it's over 30 seconds? Okay. I mean, yeah. Then yeah, in that case, regardless. Yeah, I don't know. It was a weird argument that gets weird. This is just another way, I guess. I mean, but then copyright gets weird in that.

Like, I kind of went in there just on a limb, because I already knew that gets weird because what if the artist is signed to a major? And now we have to get them involved with Spotify on distribution, and I knew that was going to be a mess. But I still think this is dope because it's kind of bringing back a lot more. of the culture of merch with musical artists. I feel like that died down for a while, don't you think? I think people always been getting merch off.

Shitty merch, but people have always been getting merch. Hopefully you could do something a little better. I think it does well at shows. At shows, but like outside of that market? No, but I mean, I think artists are much more concerned about the person that goes to the shows because that's a consumer. That's someone that they know buys. They bought a ticket.

Right, right. So that means they may buy something. else rather than let's focus all our attention on Instagram followers that we know don't translate like I have a million followers I sold 10,000 records clearly there's a disconnect here let's focus on those 10,000 people because we know they bring cash and they pay right so that's why you know most artists wait till the tour to really do the merch shit I mean what

could be a loophole for something like this they can do the link it has to be buy out a bunch of vinals and just throw them in that's what I'm saying I'm saying I But it would just cost it. Vinyl is fucking expensive. Vinyl is very expensive. But I do think that if you're somebody that buys merch and you really like support merch from an artist,

I think you appreciate vinyl more because it's more of a piece. It's more of, you know, you can put it in your next to your record player. I know a lot of people have record players now, things like that. Even if you never open it, maybe if they sign the actual vinyl cover or something like that, like I just think that they're going to find a way to end up getting rid of that as well. But I feel like even after AstroWorld, because that was kind of the, if I remember correctly, what changed a lot of this. Nikki was very vocal about it, which I fully understood what Nikki was saying. Since then also, I feel like people don't care about album sales like they used to accept for a few of the major artists that need that number one because they need that accolade and that perception.

Like, hers sold 30,000 records, which is great, but no one cared. Like one would think with perception, her would would sell 100K. I mean, she sold 30 first week, which is great. But like no one care. Nobody. Nobody. Unless it's the A-A-A-List artist. Like, they have to get that number one.

And when people put such an emphasis on it. Yeah. Because some of our favorite projects that ever came out, I don't know what they sold their first week. And like, like, I've watched even the A-lister's like album sales drop, but relevancy go up. So it's like, are these things even connected? because Cole dropped. Kendrick dropped, but their relevancy

and the attention on them and quality music all rose. I mean, Kendrick had, what, the best rap tour? The highest grossing rap tour in history. Ever. And they were killing him first week of, I think he sold maybe $175,000 less than damn on the first week, maybe even more.

But clearly, sales are not translating to what matters. Right. The most, he sold a million tickets. Right. You know how crazy that is? Insane. One million hard tickets. That's nuts.

That's insane. So, yeah, I get the bundle shit, but are we going to break our backs to make the perception of our first week numbers look some type of way? Nah. Now when I'm selling a million tickets. Yeah, I really don't. That's what I'm saying. That type of shit is whatever. As long as the art is good and you're able to put on a good show, like none of that shit matters.

Because now I want to know how many tickets, how many albums Kendrick sold as a result of the tour. Yeah, because who knows what they did? I want to find that out because I'm pretty sure if you're able to sell a million tickets to a show, some people that went to that show probably didn't have the album. Yeah. But they were just like, yo, Kendrick's in town. Like, go check them out. And it's hard to see that show and not be like, damn, that shit is dope.

Off hard copies, too, you got to think, a million tickets. I could see the Kendrick fan 35 to 40% of people maybe buying vinyl out of that, which is insane. Right. So that's a great question. Yeah, I definitely want to see how much you sold. See, he would have killed because you know they used to include, you used to be able to bundle the album with a ticket sale. Yeah.

A million tickets sold? Oh, that's crazy. If you get 10% to buy. Yeah. You sold a million on your 75th week. Wow. It's insane. Well, we're staying with music.

A million extra. Staying with music, but going back a little bit with AI. So Timberlin right now is revealing a new AI startup, but it kind of focuses on. what he just did recently, which was that collaboration with Biggie. It wasn't a collaboration. Well, collaborate. No, it wasn't a collaboration. That's the thing. They call it a collaboration. It was not a collaboration. They call

it a collab. That's the crazy thing. Yeah, who's that? You know, the culture. The AI. The culture did not call it. The AI culture. The Biggie AI, I said. Ghibli called that a collab. Yeah. So, but he's actually like making like an app or like a program so this is kind of, I guess, transcend into the music industry. Well, he was suggesting

that he agrees that these AI software now with the vocal sounds awful, but he wants to lead the charge in the culture of hip hop and AI to find a way to make these vocals as crispy as if they would be really in the studio. I feel like this is weird as fuck. He kind of said a lot of nothing. I'll be quite honest. And once I read the article, the headlines were a bit misleading.

All he really did say was he wants to lead to charge with AI. I don't like it. He didn't really have much. Oh, I don't like it either. I think it's fucking awful. And he said he's going to find new. That's the one thing. everyone that loves this AI shit that keeps running back to.

Oh, it'll create new revenue streams for producers. No. At the expense of what? Yeah, no. I don't like it. I don't think it's a good idea. You know, you playing with people's legacies, you know, their likeness that are no longer here. I just don't, let's focus on like just newer talent, like talent that are still here, people that still with us.

Like, let's do something for that. like just trying to bring up legends that have gone and passed away and have new producers create songs with their voice and their, I just don't, that shit is just, it's weird to me.

But the sickest part of the article was he wanted some more focus on the artist that had passed. Yeah. And that's where I really think it's crazy. Yeah. Even, you remember when the bigie duets came out? Mm-hmm.

Some jams on there. But, you know, a lot of people were upset, like, you know, Would Big even want this artist featured on with him? Right. This beat over that. And those were verses that Biggie actually spit. We know he was going to say that and it was still fucked up.

Now someone that passed, we get to decide what they say. Yeah. Fuck what the music around the verses is. At least Big said those things. At least that was shit big. He agreed that he said it. He agreed with what he said. Right.

Now we get to decide what people have passed their opinions. Yeah. That's fucking crazy. It's just a bad idea. I don't like it. And Timberland is a legend in our culture. Who will be the first dead artist that we cancel based off an AI rhyme that they didn't even say? Biggie.

Probably Biggie, yeah. First of all, there's a lot of cancelable biggie lines to begin with. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I just don't like that. Just let the dead, you know, let them rest. Yeah. And just leave it at that.

Let's focus on, you know, new talent that's here, new talent that's, you know. I personally feel like that's. a weird obsession to make that happen. It's weird, bro. Especially if you fuck with someone's art. It's just weird. Yeah, I'm cool. Like, if AI was to generate a Basquiat painting right now, like, that's weird to me.

Yeah, exactly. Paint that. You know what I mean? Like, what are you talking about? That's just, that's just weird. It's almost like even printing out a Baskiot painting. And be like, here's a Boschia. No, it's not.

You printed that from the internet. Yeah. So you guys don't give Timbalin or any other AI permission to use your voices for a podcast. if you are no longer here. No. Not even a little bit. What would the Rory Mall AI podcast talk about, though? The same shit we talk about.

Yeah, but like sex, drugs and rock and roll. That's what you think, that's what we talk about? But even that, like with the dead artists, of course, this technology can sift through everything they've ever said and come up with what they think they would say. Why do we need that already? We have everything Biggie said already. We would want new ideas from Bigg. Right.

not generated off what he said already and let's spit out like I would like new life experiences from Big if he was alive. Now that he's dead, I don't need a new version of Dead Wrong that a computer came up with. It's just not.

Nah, Tim, this ain't it, bro. Yeah. Well, we said that when he put out that video with him when he made a beat. Yeah, but now he wants like to launch a whole thing. That's what this was all tied in.

He knew this was coming. That was just a rollout for this and it's just like, nah. I saw this meme today. humans doing the hard jobs on minimum wage while the robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted. That's kind of crazy, right?

It's wild as fuck. I just want to note quickly, Larry Page is still missing. I know no one... Since we walked in. Like, what's up with you? No one is covering this. Do you know where he's at?

No. And that's the problem. And I feel like you might know where he's at. Why are no news agencies, platforms, covering this? Because they all know each other. And he told him not to even talk about it. So J.P. Morgan is wanted by the U.S. Virgin Islands for Ties to Epstein and Larry Page as well. And then when he's about to be served, his papers or his subpoena, whatever the fuck it is.

I got to go. It's been two weeks. Yeah. We don't know where one of the co-founders of Google is. Yeah. All right. We don't have to do a deep down. I just wanted to know to everyone listening now.

Larry Page is still missing. It's similar to when, you know, Russell Simmons went to Bali during the pandemic. and he got stuck there. And he was on every Zoom meeting, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, got stuck in Bali. Replying to everything. Like, listen, there's a airport right there.

A plane just went over your head. Yeah, Bali's open. It's open now. Did Mark Millen kill himself? I don't know. Wow. Anyways, new music. Yeah.

New music on the way. If you're listening to this now, belly, mumble rap too. Mumble rap too. And then there wasn't a gun found. Then the gun was found. Hey, hey. Anyways.

New music. Mumble Rap 2. Mumble Rap 2. Listen, man. I feel like Belly is going to dress some of this shit. The shit that I care about. Mumble Rap 2, Belly is available now in your DSPs. I know that Hip Boy produced most of this project. But there's other production on there as well.

Welcome home to Hit Boy's Dad as well. Welcome home to Big Hit. So Mumble Rap 2, available now in your DSP. Shout out to my brother, Belly. I'm excited to listen to that one. Clear 2. Soft Life EP by Summer Walker is also available now. Yes. So if you want to get your face.

This week and Rory if you want to, you know, wait, wait, we have what? So, you know, Rory gets facials. It's okay. Excuse me? Like for skin care. Oh, sorry, sorry. See, this is why you got to, you know,

we were talking about the dick dad earlier. That's because you were hanging out with Flagrin 2 and Charlamagne was there. Yeah. Yeah. You're trying to tie all of the nasty shit in. No. I can't have it. I don't know if it's going to be on here.

So I hope we're not spoiling anything because we're recording this on a Thursday and this comes out on a Friday. We get two J. Cole versus back to back. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. Justice that played us that Cole, which I think of was the intro, you know, when Brian Michael Cox blew up my bathroom.

Are you keeping B. Cox business? And as Tumaris has now coined at the studio now, did someone BMC the bathroom? BMC the bathroom is fucking hilarious. To that to be yesterday, I could not stop. Like, you know, MECD that shit. Somebody BMC the bathroom the other day. I'm going to find out who it was.

It was the person you invited. No, definitely. Wow. They said that. I hate to break it to you. It was 100%. Rory, it wasn't. So it smelled before she went in.

It's the sewage. It's to drain inside the bathroom on the floor. Oh, okay. Yeah. We pay way too much for that to happen in this bathroom. Okay, because I felt away. And in my head, I was like, wow, she did that very quickly, because I used the bathroom right after her.

Fan, stop. I didn't think that I would ever. She ran out of here. I didn't know. No, that would never happen. I thought you wasn't beaten. It still would never, you think that I would bring somebody here to take a shit in our studio?

Well, you didn't know she had to take a shit. Maybe she didn't know she had to take a shit. You asked her number one or number two? She said she had to pee. Sometimes you sit down on the toilet and... No, man. She would not take a shit in here. No, no, it would not happen.

That's why that's hilarious to me. No, that would not. Also, tomorrow, can someone help me pronounce this Ketranata? Ketramine. Ketramine. I didn't want to butcher it. Ketramine, I'm really excited for this album. This is one I was actually looking forward to the whole year.

I want to see Ketranata live. So do I. Me too. Well, actually, I did. It seemed, when Joyce opened up from, I saw him live. But I got really tired because the show started at midnight. Yeah. So Joyce is set.

I started. Did those? Once she got off stage, I was like, it's 3 a.m. I think, I don't think I can wait for Ketranata. Yeah, I definitely want to catch a Ketranada, a live show. I've seen the pictures from Coachella and then another show. And I was like, yeah, I got to see that. That's my type of, that's my type of, that's my type of,

I got to be on drugs. Like you have to be? Wait, why would you put that on? Ketranas is not that type of. No, he, well. He's not like EDM. I mean, there's elements to his electronic shit, but it's definitely like more of a R&B vibe.

The only drug I would be on is marijuana. I mean, that'll be. Perfect drug for K. Trenata. Yeah, perfect, yeah. If it ain't, that's the only drug I'll be on listening to Ketranata. But yes, outside of that, again, my phone can die featuring James Fonsori and Ari Lennox is out now on all DSPs.

My album is out May 26th, one week from today, if you're listening to this on Friday. So, yeah, it's new music. You think I'm going to like shut the year down? or what? Shut the year down. I think the year

will be up. I think the year is going to be fine. The year up. It's one thing I can promise you, Rory, after your album drops, the year

will be perfectly fine. Everything will be okay. And I lack the artist ego so much. Like, because I want to be like, yo, I think this is album of the year.

Because I do feel like it's a really, really good album. But I'm like, there's like mad months left. Yeah. We don't know what, Beyonce's rumor

to be coming. Like, how arrogant would that be in May? I was like, yo, album with a year for the next five to six month. Bullshit.

I don't care what else is coming. This is it. This is the only album that matters. Rihanna's rumored. You have a joint album with fucking Beyonce. Hold is been seen in the studio. But this, my friend, is the album of the year.

Yeah, for sure. I mean, I let the fans aside. Yeah, let the fans decide. But I do think they will enjoy the project. So I'm looking forward to that. Should I boycott the Grammy since I made, made it in time? For next year's Grammys?

Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Why not? I like that for you. I think if you were a well-known person, I think this album will win a Grammy. I just want to say that.

So you're not a well-known. That's all that I took from that. Damn. You're not a well-known person. I thought about that. I think if you're, that's so stupid. That's some dumb shit to tell you about it.

I think if you were a well-known person. He's all known, right? I think I could maybe sneak in with like one of those weird alternative Celtic R&B album. You know the shit they don't air? Yeah. Like what they do in the morning for the Grammys? I think I could sneak in and get a morning Grammy.

Like just some weird category. Like collaborative, collaborative album from an Irish-American with R&B plus Celtic music and also features Reason from TDE.E. Best red-headed. I think that category I would kill. Best red-headed playlist curated by a podcaster

who hails from Queens. Yeah. Where... Just giving out Queens Grammys. Yeah. I think not. It took not 30 years. Clearly our borough's not in the favor of the Grammy.

No, if they give out, if that's an award, that's definitely locked up for you. You got them. Nah, I think about it. Yeah. Grannie isn't really fuck a queens like that. Nah, not at all. It's crazy. You got to work hard for your Grammys, yeah.

That's wild. So let's get into some voicemails. Yes, yes, yes. Shout out to everybody. Subscribe to our Patreon, patreon.com, forward slash new Rory and Mall. All right, so let's get into the first voicemail. Anonymous. Hey, Rory and Mal and gang.

Hope you are doing well. My question is, How do y'all feel about your significant other having a work husband? And would y'all be okay with it or be cool with the guy? Thanks for the advice. I love when the younger listeners ask questions that, like, we ran into the ground for a decade on Twitter. But he sounds young and I'm sure he wasn't around for those conversations.

We all solve this with nah. Yeah. Nah, fam, no. Your girl can definitely not have a work husband, not cool with it. Well, let's define that. What is a work husband? A work husband is the male coworker that your wife or your girlfriend has that, you know, they're just cool. They click.

He brings her. If he goes out to get something to eat, he knows that she likes the burritos there. He brings her one back. Okay. So that means in this logic, worry is Demaris's work husband. Actually, Yomi's my work husband. Work wife. Yeah.

Work they. Work day. Well, there was a lot of, there was a time when DeMaris and Maul were definitely work wife and wife. Yeah. No, he left me for Julian. No, I think Julian is, I think Julian is, you giggle when he walks in, he giggles when you walk in. They're, they're, you guys have like, because I've been in corporate offices. When those two people just start giggling when someone walks in, you guys have like inside jokes and stories we don't know about.

You be talking outside of work for sure. No, I was laughing at the fact that he posted a picture of him modeling all morning and then he walked in. Oh, that's one of several laughs. He knew what I was laughing at him about like, oh, you such a pansy. Look at you. You were modeling all morning. They go to Knicks games together. Like, honestly.

If I was Julian's... Me and Julian have never been to a Knicks game together. That's not true. But you did say... That's not true. You did say two days ago, you're like, y'all was going to call you after the Knicks' law. Like, you guys talk.

Because he's a Nick. He's a what? I've been a Nick fan way long. I'm just saying, if I was Julian's husband, I wouldn't like the fact that y'all are talking about the Knicks outside of work. That is true. In this work husband scenario. No, you got to think about it.

No, I'm not thinking about it. Like, no. That's just, no. No, first of all, why would he be my work? First of all, I'm my heterosexual man. You can still have a work husband and you be heterosexual. No, you cannot. You're my husband?

Stop letting these fucking politicians tell you that it's okay to do that. It's not okay to do that. I can't even spell politics. Who said that? Any politician. No, it's not. Heterosexual. Well, to answer anonymous.

To get anonymous, some advice. Nah. I think. That's the advice. Well, nah is number one. But if we're going to go to option B, if that exists, like, there has to be a line. to Moll's point, if he's going out and she knows to go get that burrito, they probably on the same salary.

She got to pay. Like, he may be just doing a favor to go get it. He can't be buying her lunch. He can't be bringing her leftovers from the night before. You're like, oh, I had a lot left, so I brought you. Like, don't bring, don't bring my girl tinfoil. I do. Like, all aluminum foil.

My girl can't touch your aluminum foil or your leftovers. I bring your food all the time, though. Whenever I cook, I bring y'all food. She does. I think that's regular coworker shit. But you got to be careful with that. I don't remember one time to Maris. has ever brought food.

You've cooked in my career, like non-podcasts related. What have you brought us in the leftovers with it? She did. She definitely did. I bring food all the time. What was it? I forgot what it was for. But you don't say shit. We're not going to touch your food. Well, you're vegan. Julian eats my food all the time. So it sounds like Julian is your work husband.

And you guys do bicker like a married couple. Yeah, first y'all hated each other. Now y'all each other. Yeah, marriage. Yeah, that's how it goes. Y'all will work. See, look how fast we found out who's the work husband here. Julian is your work husband. to answer Anonymous's question though, nah. Only reason why I say this is because there was a situation on my block years ago where I grew up at where a girl that lived across the street from me, her husband, I guess he suspected that she was dating a guy that she worked with. So I think she worked overnight and got home at like five in a morning or something.

So the work husband used to drop her off home, right? So it turned into like, I guess he didn't have to pick her up from work no more because the work husband was like, no, I'll just drop her off. So the real husband doesn't have to wake up early to go get her, that whole thing, right? So I guess he started suspecting like, nah, something's happening here. And so he was like staked out in another car on the block and waited for them to pull up. And they pulled up on the block, but they were like kind of pulling up. pulled over, parked by a hydrant

in the car for waiting. It's not just a drop over. It's like, oh, you're in the car kicking it. They were talking about the work. No, they started, no, seriously. Well, probably. They're talking about spreadsheets. No, probably.

Something else was spread. Yeah, something else. They started, like, I guess, making out, kissing and stuff like that. Oh, no. Thank God Julian's not here for this PTSD. And he walked up on the car and killed his wife. Whoa.

Holy shit. literally on my block. All right. I didn't know. Okay. That's back to the turn for the line. He shot at the dude ran. Like he got out of the car and ran like,

like ran down the block, ran through the park. It's a park on my block. Left his wife. It's his truck. Left the wife in the truck. The husband came back. Wow. And shot her in the car.

Yeah. So that's a big no. Don't do that. No, but that's what I'm saying. You can't. It's very, you know what I mean? There's levels. You don't know what's going on in her life outside of work.

Yeah. You got to be careful with that because, again, we might be crazy. We know. We talking about we're joking with this caller, this our voicemail. But we do know that if your girl works somewhere in, a guy is like, you know, obviously he's attracted to her. We just, we're adults. We know what it is.

Like he's attracted to her. They hit it off well. They spend a lot of time with each other. They work together. I was going to say it's the easiest layup when you're in those offices because no matter what, you spend so much time together. Number two, you have a common goal of, like, complaining. Like, all the shit your girl wants you to be a listener about. Like even after you've had a long day of work and she just wants to tell you about her day.

That's part of her job. Like he listens because it's his gig. Yeah. Like he has to listen to her work bullshit. So she takes it as like. And then if something is going on between y'all. Oh, please. She's sharing that with him.

So now he knows we're not the fuck up. Don't let them. Word. He did that. Yo, he bugging. Don't let them travel for it. Don't tell my wife I'm bugging, my nigga. Yeah.

Fuck that. You know what I'm saying? But it happens. It's a real thing. So that's why, no, I would say it's okay. She can be social at work. but all the work husband first of all just even calling it. I was going to say that.

Like stop. We're not even playing them games. Like don't nah, it ain't no work husband. Like I'm your husband. I'm your boyfriend, whatever. Like you ain't got no work boyfriend, no work husband. We're not doing that. Yeah. So not. He said would you be cool with the dude? He said, what if you know, the dude was trying to be cool with you? Who is that? Not cool with no nigga that's

thinking my girl. That's her co-worker. Fuck out of here. Okay, well, what if he's gay and he's her work husband? Fuck that. If he's gay? Oh, then it's all good. But he, what type of gay? though. What do you mean what type of gay? Because some of these

niggas don't be gay gay. What the fuck? Wait, now you're going against your entire theory. No. Now you're contradicting your whole soul. Not because gay could be like, yo, you do like men. But it's like you might suck a titty if she

let you. Isn't that? That's why the face I was making Demaris is pretty much to Moll's point because I've seen the gay bestie, the gay friend, like take it too far, even if he doesn't want to suck a titty. Yeah.

I'm just not cool with like you just get a pass to just grab tities and ass and like. Yeah, don't tell my girl, she's been working out. I'll grab her ass. Like, girl, no, you ain't that gay. But gay work. What the fuck is wrong? Because gay dudes get hands. Especially like when your home girls don't even touch you like that.

Like, what? Because I've seen, all right. We know when like, kick it, cuss. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, cuss. Kick it. Sorry, you sounded like fucking Smokey Robinson.

You said, kick it for me, cuz. Kick it, cuz. Kick it, cuz. I almost lost my train of thought. There's just plenty of gay men that are too hansy. We watch their home girls do the ass slapping shit when they're out, like, at a club or, like, having fun. The gay men just be doing that, like, in broad daylight on a weekday. Like, y'all having coffee.

Why are you grabbing her tities? Yeah. Like, they watch. She walks in, like, it's not the time for that. Her home girls... Like, the girls are girling today. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. You can't tell my girlfriend the girls are girling today.

No, you could do that, but you don't have to then grab them in broad daylight. Yeah. Like, at least let the sun go down. I just feel like gay men purposely get too handsy. Like, they like to see the line they can cross, especially when they know her boyfriend is around. I've seen it. All right, relax, bro. Yeah.

Like, if you want to slap her ass when she's dancing, I have a blast. Like you're one of the girls. I get it. But nah, we haven't coffee right now. Yeah. I've seen women make out with their gay besties. You've seen women make out with their gay besties? See what I'm saying?

And now I got to kill somebody. That's been a thing. That's, I've definitely seen that happen. They're going to call it a hate crime. No, it's not a hate crime. That's not a hate crime. Why? Why would you?

Well, I don't understand. What do you mean why? What does why I mean when you, he just said he's seen a girl make out with her gay besties? They're like, oh, that's weird. He's gay. What's wrong with it? So you're mad? So your man can make out with his home girl lesbian.

I'm asking we have a podcast. Yeah, I bet you not. Come on. Don't ask me no shit like that. You know why not. I really don't know why not. Can your boyfriend kiss his lesbian best friend? And not the Dyke one, the bad bitch one. Yeah, the lipstick lesbian.

Yeah. Yeah. You look over there. That's a lot of it. That bullshit. You know he can't. You're not accepting that. You're not accepting that.

There's no way. No. No. No human being is accepted. Like my girl kissing another. I don't care if he's gay. No, you're not kissing another dude. What is, no?

It's unacceptable. So Anonymous, nah. No work husband. All right. Let's do the second one. And we got on a whole tangent when the simple answer to anonymous is. No. No.

Yeah, just no. Big no. Not doing that. Sorry. And pull up where the job. Get her fired. You never know. Right.

This is from, this is from Terrence. Thank you, Terrence. Yo, what's up? Roy, Mall. Everybody else? My name is Terrence And my son's birthday It's this Friday

Thank you, Terence for that. It's also Nicolette's birthday? No, I think he just wanted to shout out. Oh, shout out to your beautiful wife. Oh, I thought he was saying it was his son and his girl's birthday. Oh, that'd be tragic. Yeah, he said give the fan birthday with you. You could knock out two birds in one stone, though.

That'd actually be a cool situation. Yeah, why not? To have a... If your girl and your son had the same birthday? You'd be broke. What if it's like... No, just like we'd just one day. Yeah, they could also be a couple days apart.

Gifts. Gifts. You have to do gifts. You sound like Dr. Umar. Gifts. Donation. Donations. Donations. This is red lobster gifts. I want to kick it with Dr. Umo.

So bad. I want to be cursed out by him. Like, it would be an honor. You think he cursed you out? Because I think me and Dr. Humeau. Yeah, and I would love it. We can really get to the root of the problems in the hood, man. I'm telling you.

Like, we give me and Dr. Humor because I know what he'd be wanting to say, but he got to keep it kind of like, you know, intellectual. But he'd be wanting to say, yo, you niggas is stupid. I believe he said that. Yeah. It's like, I'm like, and I just want to coat. Let me ad lib the shit he's saying. And I think we can effectively make some dialogue

that will make change in the community. I do, I believe that. I agree with a lot of his, his. No, doctor, I love Dr. Omar. He's also very funny, though. He's hilarious. And he'd be dead ass, but he's hilarious. But he's an entertainer for sure.

Nicolette Malachi, happy birthday. Shout out to Terrence. We appreciate you. Yeah, and good luck to you for that day. I know you're going to have to take care of everything. So prayers with you. Yeah, pray is too. And, uh, thank you.

Well, yeah, just two voicemails today. Well, technically one. We did some shoutouts after that. This is something we're going to continue on.

But, you know, we've got to pull back on certain stuff because some people, they're doing these voicemails just to say some wild shit and we're trying to have some conversation. No, we're going to start playing some of this wild shit, though. We may dedicate a few Patreon episodes just to voice stuff. Yeah, just to some of the wild shit that people will leave. and talking about like I like talking about wild shit sometimes let's do it I'm not mad at that and don't be afraid to say wild shit just do like oh go crazy work husband did he did anonymous

you don't have to say your name and anything you can just enter as anonymous so do that if you really want to get wild and rough and buck what's wrong with her well what did those two things have to do with anything to do the voicemail i don't know man the bucks aren't on the playoffs and how would an anonymous voicemail lead to that yeah because if they wanted to say because if they wanted to say something really salacious or something really wild they won't want their name attached to it that's why I said that.

So they would then get wildly fucked afterwards? Yeah. Wait, what? You just said that. I didn't say that. Yeah. Thank you guys so much for tuning. Thank you guys so much for tuning.

And I never thought I wouldn't miss Julian but I miss him so much. We didn't even address why Julian's not here. He's at his first modeling gig. Yeah. We're going to save it for now. We're to kill him in person. We're a fucking fairy.

You're such a fucking fairy, man. And what did you have your first modeling gig? We'll just let you know. He's such a pansy. In the group chat, he was giving us updates of his outfits. He was getting makeup done. He was getting makeup done. Don't do that.

I have a photo of you, and I won't use it as blackmail because you know I have it. That wasn't makeup. Why is it blackmail? Okay, but it appears like... She was brushing my eyebrows. When does the truth matter? The truth does not matter. She was brushing my eyebrows.

I didn't have any color. She didn't add any color to my face. I call cab. Any tone, nothing. In the photo, you are beat to the gods. No, that's just my natural look, baby. It's that melanin, that black gold. She is putting, like, the makeup on your face.

No, it was, she was brushing my eyebrows, literally. It was a brush. You gave her your fenty number. She put some browg-gill on it and had the eyebrows. It was literally just a brush. That's all it was. It was a brush. I was like, yo, no makeup on my face.

She was like, oh, no, I'm not, no makeup. I'm lying. She put powder for the shine. Oh, okay, that means. Just for the light. You got some brownie face? It was just powder just so on my face. wouldn't be too shiny on camera.

That was it. But it wasn't no makeup. It wasn't no makeup. Got you on that. I mean, it's still makeup. I never disrespect to God. Anyways, before we close out, there was some sports stuff outside. Yeah.

Jha. Well, the Nuggets won, game one. It was a great game. Yokic, yeah, man, the Lakers just going to have to literally just beat him up. Just bring some niggas from 60 crypts out there and let them jump that nigga in Denver. Jesus. Yeah, I mean, that's the only way they're going to be able to stop him, man. And he had a crazy triple double.

Anthony Davis had a great game too, but they lost. So the Nuggets won game one. I do think that series is going on seven games, and hopefully the Lakers can get past them. Spurs Dynasty is bike. Spurs Dynasty is back. Coach Popovich was talking about retiring soon. Popp is never, he. And now they have the number one draft pick in this year's draft.

And there's no way Greg Popovich is retiring anytime soon. He's going to turn Victor Wimbabayama into a Hall of Fame. Viana? No way. No, he's staying. He's going to be, Victor is, I think that Victor has the tools

are ready to be better than Tim Duncan and David Robinson. I mean, he's the 7, 7. Yeah, like, no, not just 7, 7, because we've seen 7, 7 players before. He is an agile. He moves like a guard. He shoots.

Yeah, like, this is a different type of- triple team him. How do you block a shot of someone that talks? This is a different type of talent. This is a different type of player. And I think that, I do think that San Antonio will keep, the number one pick. People are talking about they might trade it and things like that.

I think they keep it. Pop wants to coach that kid. Yeah, and I think Pop is going to turn Victor into what he did for Tim Duncan and David Robinson and any other player that has played for him. He's going to lead him into a championship contender probably. I think that they will win some championships. Well, I mean, I know everyone's been talking about this kid and can he stay healthy at that height and, you know, he's been doing training.

Physicality of the game. It takes one thing with a knee that tall to happen. rarely does it happen where a prospect, if not, this has probably been the biggest prospect since Brown, right? Absolutely. Could potentially, and it looks like, is going to go with one of the greatest coaches of all time as a number one pick.

That's also wild with this story. I'm still nervous about this kid even being on the court because he looks fragile, and I know he's been training. But the fact that you get hop as your coach, when have we ever seen that? Yeah, no. Because usually the great coaches are not getting the number one. one pick. And listen, we know that this was set up. We know that this was a gift to Popavit.

Like, you know what I mean? It is what it is. But I'm not mad at it because if anybody can take Victor in tournament to a Hall of Fame player and the champion, it is Coach Popovich, which to me is arguably the greatest basketball coach ever. Phil had had his legacy made with Jordan. Yep. That was solidified. And even when Kobe was drafted, I don't think Phil was the coach, because and he was, Kobe was traded too. No, well, no, Kobe was drafted.

By the Hornets? By the Hornets and there was a trade. Yeah. But Phil Jackson was not the coached in though. Even Larry Brown came after Iverson was with the Sixers. I'm just trying to think of number one picks that have ever had like a legendary coach as they go in. Out the gate?

Yeah, that's. I can't think of it. Yeah, no. Because usually when you're a legendary coach, you don't get the number one pick because you're busy winning games and champions. Exactly. Yeah.

But, yeah, no, this is a perfect match. I'm happy for Victor. They showed pictures of him as a kid. He had a Tony Parker's Spurs jersey on. Look at that. So it's like, you know, that's just God working. French connection. Popovich is not retiring no time.

Heroin? What? Never mind. Okay. French connection. They're both from France. Yes. Tony Parker.

And then French connection was a... Got you. They brought heroin into it. Yeah, it's cool. I see what you did, dear. Not ready for my bars. Ray Allen, so what happened was Ray Allen was asked what was his greatest starting five ever, right? Start in a six man.

And somebody sent it to me because they were saying that, you know, when I named my starting, my top seven players of all time, people were mad that I had LeBron at number seven. So I was like, oh, okay, I understand. But Ray Allen, somebody who, one of the greatest basketball players ever in my mind. opinion, definitely one of the greatest shooters ever. They asked him, same questions, all-time starting five. People like to ask, you know, Hall of Fame players, their all-time starting five's. But they wanted him name of Sixth Man. So his starting five was Jordan, Magic, Bird, Shack, and I was surprised that he put Akeem Elijah on there. Hakeem is a legend, but that's not one you

see top five all the time. But what was his six-man? Could you imagine Shaq and Akim? And that's another thing. I was like, you're starting five? enough space in the paint? Yeah, I was just like, Hakeem is agile. He can be a powerful, he can shoot it. It would be shut down,

I get that. But it was still a little weird to have, to not have Kobe. Paul, that's a lot of mass in the paint. Yeah, but okay,

that's, that's Ray Allen starting. It's a lot of Charlemagne bets. Wow. Then his sixth man was LeBron. So people were like, you know, of course, LeBron fans are like,

Ray Allen doesn't know what the fuck. I love when they say people like Ray Allen don't know what the fuck they're talking about. You can tell me I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. You can't tell Ray Allen that he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to his all-time starting five when he's played the game at a very high level. He's a legend in the game. And he played with LeBron.

So that's why a lot of people were really upset because they're like, oh, you're teamways with LeBron and Miami. You got a ring together. And I guess they felt like LeBron should have been in his top five at least. But I was just wanted to bring that up just to say, like, I'm not just the only guy that has LeBron top seven. it's just odd to mean that Kobe is not anywhere in there. Now that was crazy to me. I don't know what that was about. Well, to be fair, he said who would be his starting five,

not his top basketball players of all time. So with a start in five, you need a certain amount, you need a certain amount of number of each type of player. I'm sure if they said who's your top five of all time, your top, it would be maybe different, maybe two spots would be different. So I'm just saying, yeah, that's not far-fetched for people to have LeBron James in their top seven.

It's not a knock on LeBron. LeBron is one of the greatest basketball plays all the time. I think he's one of the greatest humans of all time. Sorry for the age joke. But yeah, that was just interesting to see Ray Allen say that. Word. Who asked him that? I think it was some blogger.

Sports Illustrated? It was Sports Illustrated? I believe so. No, I don't think it was supposed to illustrate it. You know what's fucked up with these questions, though? And I feel for whether it be athletes or even rappers or media personalities when they do interviews and you get asked like the top five questions. and you just like don't have one ready and rehearsed

you may say some things you don't agree with like you're on the spot and you have to name a five without really thinking about it because I hate when I get like certain rap questions in interviews and I'm just like I say names and then I go back like no I don't agree I'm going to get killed rightfully so because I don't agree with what I just said

yeah I don't it is interesting that he doesn't have Kobe in his top six that is very interesting but teach his own What you got going on for the weekend, man? What you get into? Just preparing for the album. Releasing the album. Preparing for the release of the album.

Going out to L.A. next week. We won't see each other, guys. Well, technically. Thank God I don't see Ed in. Wow. What the fuck? What did I do? Well, yours, your work X.
