Starting point is 00:02:40 Hip hop will be one way. Is it the paradigm? The paradigm? And then after midnight, hip hop will be a completely different genre. And will. Hip hop will be restored as of midnight. Real hip hop is back. Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:54 The moment we waited for, baby dear is here. How are you feeling? You look good. I feel amazing. You look good. You want to stand up for the camera today or no? No, I'm okay. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:03:02 My big pants, I tried. I tried, I tried, I try to. I do have the sample pants that you gave me on. Nobody responded to me in the group chat when I was like, yo, nah, these the ones. My ass look fat. I'm like, y'all, like, you sent that. I was fresh out of the shower. That wasn't the time to respond to that.
Starting point is 00:03:16 That's crazy. Yeah, like I had my manhood and my towel. You know what I'm saying? It just wasn't the right time, baby, Dee. But I read what you said. Tucked in your towel. Yeah, yeah, it just wasn't the right time to respond. But I read what you said.
Starting point is 00:03:27 I read what you said. Yeah. It's good to know. So when those sweats finally drop, you'll know that they fit women. Ladies, when our new sweatsuits drop on Valentine's Day, your ass will look like baby D's in the sweats. Yeah, just so you know. I don't know about that. You know what they say the model, the model is wearing, and they put the size.
Starting point is 00:03:42 We're going to put you on there and say, Baby D is wearing a media. Or just tweet more and he can guess your weight and tell you what size is. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? There go. Ow. You got to spin, though. Spin for the wind.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Spin for the wind. Oh, it's sick. Oh, I know how that look when it's fresh out of the shower. when it's walking away from it. Maybe I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:04:04 I said nobody's ever going to marry me because mall told him all the other day. I said nobody's ever going to marry me because Maul told me to jump and I'd be like how high. He say spin, do a 360, do a flip and there I go doing it. I mean, but they know. They know our relationship. They know it's all love. But yes, it is the eve of one of the most anticipated albums of all time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:25 I mean, it's pretty hot. Yeah. It's pretty hot. It kind of sounds crazy when you hear it. but it is one of the most anticipated albums probably in hip hop history. So how are we feeling? Are we going to, can we have fun with this episode? Can we speak as if we heard the album and we either hate it or we like it?
Starting point is 00:04:43 Let's give it if we love it. Let's give it if we hate it. This is like I'll speak a box love below. Yes. And to be clear, it is February 5th. We have not heard this album. We have not heard the album as we're recording this. We're just guessing.
Starting point is 00:04:55 We're just shooting the shit. We're having fun. Ebe, I love you, man. Shout out to everybody over there. Jay Cole, I love you too, even though you think I hate you. I hate what you did, but I still got love for you. And Salute Felton. I saw that they, uh,
Starting point is 00:05:06 Salute Felton. We had asked how they cleared this entire back cover and how, like, long that would take. Felton cleared every single one of those magazine covers with every single artist. Fire. Yeah. Congrats. He's a creative director at Drinkville. Shout out to Felton.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Friend of the show. Shout out to Willis. Your barber. I'm sure Jay Cole has a fresh lineup today. I'm sure he does. I'm sure he got his beard. Everything cleaned up for 26, 26. but right now it is
Starting point is 00:05:30 2526. So let's start with love. Let's speak as if we've heard the fall off. We absolutely love it. We can't turn it off all weekend. Even while the Super Bowl is on, we got the TV on mute and the fall off is playing
Starting point is 00:05:44 as Drake May goes all the way. I mean, I feel like it's above life after death annualizing me. I think it's the greatest double disc of the first listen? Yeah. So all right, this is your first listen in. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Give it to me, Roy. Greatest double disc of all. The first. listen of the falloff. How are you feeling, Rory? Greatest double disc that's ever existed. Ever. That's what you're rolling with. I think we need to have a new conversation now where, I don't know, is Cole better than Hovin Naz? Can we have that conversation now?
Starting point is 00:06:15 29 intro, one of the greatest intros ever to an album? I thought that went without saying. The only thing that rivals 29 intro is 39 intro. Okay. How you get the two greatest intros in hip-hop history on one album? Okay. I cried when I heard DeVillis. When I heard the villas, I just cried. The villas. I love speaking from this perspective.
Starting point is 00:06:35 So you feel like DeVillis, so you cried. When I cried, when I heard DeVillis and when I heard, I love her again. I love her again. Who'd you text after you? I love her again. You, I text you. That's why I text. I love her again.
Starting point is 00:06:49 That's the love song. That feels like a love yours? No, I can't believe that he kind of like, you know, he gave us the concept with the Nause Rewind shit for the first record. I can't believe he gave us the comment. I used to love her flip on this one I knew I was about to say that when he said I love her again he's talking about hip hop
Starting point is 00:07:06 Yeah Oh to fall off he fell out of love Yeah I love her again He's back He's more he's inspired again He's in love again Mm-hmm
Starting point is 00:07:18 Mm-hmm Mm-hmm Oh shit Greatness You witness and greatness In real time How you feel In all 50 years of your life
Starting point is 00:07:25 You ain't witness greatness like this Who's 50 Oh my boy whoa whoa whoa Oh my bad I was rounding up Don't round up Because even if you round up I ain't 50 I'm 44
Starting point is 00:07:33 Round you gotta go down 40 Okay I'm sorry Yeah Fuck out of 50 In your 50 years I mean I think it goes Without saying
Starting point is 00:07:39 That it is better Than life after death Analyze on me I'm gonna go as far as saying It may be better than the Beatles white album As far as double discs I mean
Starting point is 00:07:48 I haven't heard And I still believe that You being facetious I still believe that Why can keep uplifting white people During Black History Month That shit irritating me Well I mean
Starting point is 00:07:58 J. Cole is half white as well So, I mean, we got to give some of that in there, right? Do we? Yeah, I mean, we have to. I'm sure his mother loved the white album. Yeah, I'm sure it was one of our faves. I'm sure it was one of Jay Cole's. Soundtracks.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Yeah, he definitely heard that. Soundtracks is his childhood for sure. Yeah, I think what he did with 29 intro is amazing. I think this is the cold we wanted to see during the battle. The cold we anticipated, right? They went crazy on 29 intro. Two-six. He showed us why, you know, he's, you know, the 26 God.
Starting point is 00:08:28 You know what I'm saying? I mean, yeah, man. I just think what he did with this is incredible, incredible high-level rapping. The production is amazing. Shout out to T-minus. Did an amazing job with this. Is the clock on for Drake and Kendrick
Starting point is 00:08:43 to reply to lonely at the top? I feel like the clock. I feel like right now they should already have put something out. Couldn't help yourself. You know what's going to be crazy? She's going to come out and have nothing to do. Oh, no. Everything we're saying right now is 1,000% probably not going to be correct.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I can't wait until, course. The bill is going to be a banger. Like nothing to cry at just Yeah The villas Instead of the illest The realest The vilest, okay
Starting point is 00:09:05 But I mean I think it was I think run a train Was a really good follow up To his virginity song Wet dreams I feel like that You know what you lose your virginity
Starting point is 00:09:14 You gotta run a train Run trains It's so crazy How he captured the beauty Of running a train Only Cole could take such a filthy act And make it seem so beautiful Y'all think when people
Starting point is 00:09:25 Be Eiffel towering And they like whole hands Like their palms be sweat I think they're gay I think if you touch another man while he's naked you're gay I don't care how you touch that man you're gay
Starting point is 00:09:35 No pushback You got nothing You know my stance on trains No pushback here Run a train I want to be naked with you man I'm sorry I can't wait to hear
Starting point is 00:09:45 I might go straight to run a train I gotta just hear with like the concept like what you on with this runner train We've never seen a title like that Nah it's gonna be like him on the F train Going to the city Running down hillside
Starting point is 00:09:58 to the train? No. Oh, or is it run A, the A train? The A goes... Conductor, yo. It's Peach. Peach. Nah, Pete is right. If Conductor didn't produce run a train, I'm gonna be tight. Yeah, I'm with you. That better be a conductor. We better hear conductor and run a train. We better hear that. And there was rumors. I think there was a photo or something that was on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:10:22 We know for a fact, conductor was in North Carolina at some point. Yes. And I don't think it was to. work with P.D. Pablo. So I think we can comfortably say that conductor is probably on, that's a fair, that's a fair assessment. And if you think about it, like, is Cole kind of biting us? Because we just had conductor do our intro for the pod. I think so. I feel like that. I feel like that. I feel like that. We're the first people would ever use conductor. We're the first ones to have a conductor beat. Coles wrapped on conductor beats. You still the first one. I don't care, man. In my
Starting point is 00:10:54 story, we're the first ones. I don't give a fuck. But yeah. I, I, I, I, I, think it's, I think we can now safely say that J-C-C-O's the greatest rapper ball. I think Dis-39 is better than Dis-29. That's just how I'm feeling. That's how I'm feeling. Okay. I mean, I feel like Dis-39 got more replay value. You had said yesterday that you weren't really sure if any of the, the raps were really
Starting point is 00:11:12 going to stick with you. Was this Talib Kuali lyrics stick to your rib type material? Yeah, man. You got it right. The hooks are strong. The production is strong. The beats did it. The beats did it.
Starting point is 00:11:23 Your hooks did it. Your lyrics didn't, nigger. Yeah. feel like all that I feel like the hooks is strong. I feel like that was the one spot for me where I always feel like Cole's struggle was making hooks. But I think that he got it right on disc 39. I think he did what he was supposed to do with this one.
Starting point is 00:11:42 It sounds good because I like it. Yeah. I like this. I like this, I like this better than this 29. I mean, were you shocked by all the A-list features? Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? Where did he find L.O.?
Starting point is 00:11:53 Listen. Yo, I. All right. Yo, when, when, when- I didn't see the Queens connection there. All right. My bad. When Dragon came on and let it out.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Oh, my God. I was like, drag on. Oh, my God. With the Swiss production? Yeah. Come on, man. Come on. Where did Cole find Jay Hood?
Starting point is 00:12:08 Oh, my God, man. My bad, Jay Hood. I didn't mean, I didn't mean nothing about that. Yo, we got redo this episode that way. Oh, we got redo this episode that's way. Yo, you heard, where did he find Jay Hood? Yo, what's that be? Where did you find this one?
Starting point is 00:12:30 Damn, son. Damn, son. Where did you find this one? I am happy that Cole did address everything with Cam Ron. It was good to hear Cam give a little snippet on the record just to show that everything's cool and that the interview is on its way. Yes. So I'm happy they're not really in court. That was all promo for the song.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah. I like it. I like it, man. I'm really enjoying this album. I think it's a classic. I ain't going to lie. One weekend in, one weekend living with. it I feel like it's a classic absolute classic shout out to the team made that they were
Starting point is 00:13:04 supposed to do baby d finally everything i was said about j cole i'm sorry i apologize i was wrong i know like i you know just great music i'm just happy that he gave us a great album yeah we were talking off mike after you heard this this album you quietly said yo i would have apologized that dream bill too i didn't even see the strategy yeah it makes sense now it don't make sense i see why he apologized because he he knew what he was about to do to the game yeah you know he knew he was about to fuck the game up with this one. Sometimes you got to lose the battle to win the war. That's a fact.
Starting point is 00:13:34 She says something right there. Sometimes you got to say, you know what? Let me save y'all from your demise. Because y'all don't know what's about to happen. Demise fall off. Come on, man. Demise is just to fall off in French. Hey, hey, dog.
Starting point is 00:13:51 It wasn't J-Cold born in France? No, Germany. He's an army being, right? Isn't he an army bra? No, I think he was really born in, like, Germany. He was really born in Germany. Oh my God. Finally, we got our proper Just Blaze and Jay Cole collab on John Bass.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Finally. Finally. Good to hear Just again. And I mean, you guys tell me, did you make up for Mr. Nice Watch? He did. He was right. The J version is incredible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:20 On inevitable, it was inevitable. It was inevitable that this was the way they would come back and work together. This was it. How do we miss this one? the other day when we're going through the track list. It was right here in front of our eyes the whole time. See, that's why you're not a real J Cole fan. Everything go over your head.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Us real Cole fans. We know. Y'all know everything. You got to teach me your ways, bro. Just teach me your ways, bro. Just teach me your ways, man. Is anybody else dropping tonight other than LMA? LMA is dropping.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Shout to LMA. I saw that little baby he was doing a remix. I would just not. I'd hold all my shit. You know, nobody else should be dropping tonight. Like, get out the way of cold. This is like Taylor Swift dropping. get out the way.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Yeah. Let Cole have this week. Let him do what he does. And then next week we get back to the, you know, the regular schedule programming. Yeah. And, I mean, we weren't, we weren't, we were going to keep this secret because, you know, we try to hold private shit down to some degree. But, but it was really cool to watch Moll and Cole chop it up at the release party last night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:16 It was really good for y'all to have that moment. Y'all took a flick. It was just misunderstanding. Yeah, y'all did the, uh, the DAP flick, like where you guys are in mid-dap for it. So that was, that was good to see. Yeah, man. you know, because I, when the city's beefing, like, yeah, nobody, no, everybody, we all suffer.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Yeah, we all lose sleep. We all lose sleep. We all lose sleep. None of us can sleep when we beefing. So, you know, I just, you know, I just had to let Cole know it wasn't personal. You know what I mean? And it was just like, listen, man, I'm just a guy to support you and that, you know, hold you to a high regard. And he just, I was disappointed.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Yeah. I was hurt. Yeah. By the fact that you didn't want to engage in one of the greatest rap, rap battles ever. And it was, it was cool. you know once once the party was over and everyone was leaving they turned the lights on but some of us stayed and kicked it and cole actually played a record that didn't make it on the album called let mall down um yeah over the let you wasn't supposed to let people know about that one no roary i mean
Starting point is 00:16:08 it was it was cool to see like cole holding the phone up to your ear and you just like yeah yeah that was that was a nice nice moment i felt you know i'm saying i support cold man i'm just just a little hurt by his uh decision making two years ago that's all um all right now the other side let's hate I feel like if he condenses to one album it would have been good
Starting point is 00:16:30 yo it was too much cold could he just lock in with Alchemist 24 tracks of cold that's too much cold not a fucking feature it's not that cold that's too cold
Starting point is 00:16:41 y'all are straight bullshit today yo you can't be silly it's too cold it's a cold world yeah but it's come on man it's fucking three degrees outside we got 24 tracks of J. Cole
Starting point is 00:16:54 like what are we doing I think His hooks are fucking trash Can we just admit that? Yo, I've always said That his hooks are He got it, yo, he has to
Starting point is 00:17:02 That's what he needs He needs better hooks, bro. Yeah. He can wrap his ass off We know that He needs better hooks Oh, and like that Knockoff just Blaze Beat
Starting point is 00:17:10 And ugh, just everything about it And I thought The run of train record Was really creepy Yeah, I can't believe anyone I don't know
Starting point is 00:17:17 I can't believe that he was like In this day and age? Yeah, I don't believe that, Eve, I don't know what y'all I didn't consent to that song. I cannot believe
Starting point is 00:17:22 y'all let that leave the studio He needs to lock in on one producer. Alchemist. I don't understand why Al didn't do the hook. Yo, Cole, you got to lock in with one producer, yo. You have to. This is like, your sound is all over the place. Your hooks are not in the pocket. Like, Cole's life is boring. Can we just admit it? He has no substance. Everything, everything felt this album felt really rushed to. Yeah. Like, he just decided one day and just say, I'm going to do the fall off. I told you, he changed the album. I told you. It's my, Rory, I feel like. Like, I wish you would put more thought in the concept. He changed the
Starting point is 00:17:51 He had to pivot. You can tell this was rushed. You can tell like he had the, you know what I'm saying, go to a different sound. He tried to create something different. It just didn't, it didn't stick with me. The fucking, the back cover, like, ooh, we get it. You like hip hop.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Yeah. Like, at least clear some of that shit. Too much. And pay the artists that are on the back cover. Too much focus. And you ran from Cam. You didn't even address anything with Cam. Man, I'm going to court that day.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Baby Dee. Is this your hero, baby, Dee? Is this your rap hero? Yeah. It is. Oh, y'all thought I was going to switch up in this. I was trying to, me and Demeris talking last night, I was trying to give Cole Grace like maybe we don't get the concept.
Starting point is 00:18:26 The album was so bad because it's the fall off. He was trying to show y'all that he could fall off. Like that's because it was so bad. That's what I thought maybe he was doing. I can't believe he. I can't believe he. I can't believe it. Y'all know what's cracking me up is that somebody is going to clip all of this. And like to me, if you think about it with with disappointing double discs,
Starting point is 00:18:47 where does it rank amongst Blueprint 2 and Streets? This is worse than Blueprint 2. to. Like, this is number one. This is the worst double disc. This is, this is, this is, this is, you got to condense the album. It's to, leave the double disc shit alone. Rapers got to leave it alone. It's over. Cole couldn't do it. Like, just leave it alone. You know what I mean? Give us 16, 17 tracks, max and that's it. All of this 22, 23, 24. Cut the shit, man. We don't want to hear that much rapping. And then like, that was such a trash seven-minute disc to, to Kendrick and Drake. Like what? This should move on, Cole. Like,
Starting point is 00:19:25 now, why he's still on this show. Now it makes sense why he didn't battle. Oh, now it makes sense. Now it makes sense. He couldn't handle it. Too much pressure. Most anticipated rap album in the last however many years. Fold. I get it now. I get why he was losing sleep. Jay Fold. Jay Fold from now on. He needed to do a folded remix. Yo, give, your cold, sink Halani a verse. Because you folded. This album. This album. Yeah, man, this ain't it. And to me, this is this is what you get
Starting point is 00:19:58 when Boss, Jid, Earth Gang, are not writing your rhymes for you because everyone knows Everybody knows everybody knows Cole don't write his own rhymes and it's...
Starting point is 00:20:07 Jid is writing for Cole. Can we even think that now? He tried to trick us with executive produced by T-minus and Dreamville. Yeah, I didn't do it. Like, because we already knew that they was going to write his rhymes.
Starting point is 00:20:16 It didn't sound like it this time. Yeah. Yeah, I can hear Jid. I can hear what Jid is missing that. I know where Jid pin is it was used that now. Now it all makes sense. See,
Starting point is 00:20:27 everything makes sense. Now, after hearing this album, the fall off, I now understand why Jay Cole didn't battle, why he backed out of that, why he turned his back on Drake. It all makes sense now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:39 I get it. Yeah. I'm not even mad at you, I'm not mad. I'm not mad. The release party didn't follow any fire code. It was dangerous in there. Just an awful overall night.
Starting point is 00:20:49 One of the worst release parties I've ever seen in my entire life. Code will not have fun. When y'all ever seen Cole have him? And he ducked away from you. He was like, yo, what's up? Like, I heard you was talking all that. And then Cole ran as he's, there's his name now.
Starting point is 00:21:01 That's what he does when the battle was on. He can't, he can't sleep. Somebody's going to- Fuck y'all. This is funny to us. Somebody's going to clip all of this shit. That's what I'm like somebody's going to clip all that shit and make it seem like y'all really are being. I haven't heard the album.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Here's the beauty in all of this shit. We write somewhere in there. Some of that shit is right. Something we said and all of that, the last one, minute something is right definitely was the part where jay cole doesn't write his rhymes yeah definitely that was it jit jenn is right all the jol's rhymes that's what was right out of all of that but either way we will be back next week for a real official breakdown and review of the fall off yeah um all 209000 tracks all intros 29 39 intros um but again i all jokes aside
Starting point is 00:21:48 i am really looking forward to this album and i hope that i like it yeah i'm i'm I'm looking forward to, and I know we're done with the jokes. I am looking forward to having this much cold music at one time. Yeah. We've never just gotten 24 cold tracks. Like, that's what I'm excited about. Yeah. Hopefully you did what you're supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:22:07 So what are we doing tonight to get into it? Like, how are we setting the move? Baby, dear, listen, when this album drop, I don't want it to be 1227 and you already in the group chat texting. Shut up. Just listen to the album. Keep your thanks to yourself. First of all, I don't do that. We live texting.
Starting point is 00:22:24 As soon as Port Antonio came out, seven minutes later, you was in a group text like, yo. No, that's not what happened. That was Rory because me and Rory were out with Port Antonio. Y'all was in here. No, that was clouds. That was clouds. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Yeah. We were at a Mandy's birthday party. Yeah. Okay. And we walked outside. To listen to the song? No, Rory went outside with the phone to his ear like this. Just say, I don't love hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Yeah. I was inside playing Uno. I don't write in a group. Even when Cardi did. drop. Y'all was in the group chat before I was. What I said in the group chat? You said, A, B, C, D, EF, G. These bitches can't fuck with me. I'm turning this off. I didn't say that. I said that?
Starting point is 00:23:03 No. I didn't say that. Of course that. I've never typed that A, B, C, D, EF, G in my phone. I've never done that. Don't do that, because when Wayne did it, we all was like, yo, it's crazy. Yeah, but I still never texted to nobody. Wayne wrapped the alphabet on that shit, and we was like, wow, it's genius. Yeah, baby, did. Let the album be out for at least two hours before you. I don't want to, no, because this is my thing.
Starting point is 00:23:24 This, because the same thing with Cardi. If I'm enjoying the album and you put something in the group chat to piss me off, it's going to take me out of my happy elements. Okay. I don't want to, I'm blocking y'all. Okay. I'll talk to y'all Monday. Yeah, I'm not, but I don't do that, though.
Starting point is 00:23:35 I don't jump in the text. Like, I've never done that. I've never done that. If I, if I did that with Cardi, I was just talking shit. But I don't, I wouldn't be for real, like in the text, like, yo, this shit trash or, yo, this is fine. I don't, I don't do that. We got to treat it like the streamers that don't even really like hip hop, but they're streaming and they have to pretend with their surprise face.
Starting point is 00:23:54 That's my favorite. When they're doing a reaction? Yeah. Like, do you don't feel that way. Yeah. Yo, maybe I'll start my Twitch today. Start my Twitch, stream to fall off. I mean, let's do a joint Twitch.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Let's. He always want to do stuff with me, ma'am. Let's. We, we, we. Yo, Tom. Black history, Mom, you know the white's got to be a part of it somehow. You wouldn't want my real-time opinion? I'm going to be in that group chat.

Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you for finishing that sentence.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming.

I'm not worried about Balagan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back.
Starting point is 00:27:51 The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, He has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast.

This is a badass convict. Right. Just finished five years.

Starting point is 00:29:12 And without this trouble, I'm going to die. Open your free I-Heart radio app. Search the Cito Show and listen now. But as Cole fans, y'all not nervous a little bit? It's a lot riding on this album. I've never been disappointed by Cole's albums. I've never been disappointed by an album. So.
Starting point is 00:29:36 I was a little bit disappointed with Fear Eyes Only. It did age better than I thought it would. It aged pretty well. Which one was Free Eyes on? Was that the one when he was on the bus rapping? No, well, that never even was on an album. We talked about the False Profit shit. That was just the Lucy.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Fear Eyes Only. What was the biggest record on Free Eyes? Neighbors, yeah. Neighbors was hard when he had the video of the SWAT team coming in to his studio in North Carolina. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't remember the song. I remember the video.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I can't remember. The outro has like the nine minute story about the guy with the daughter, a friend died and all that. It aged better than I thought, but that was the first time I was kind of disappointed with a co-al album. But I'm not nervous. I'm nervous strictly about double disc. Anytime one of my favorite artists do a double disc,
Starting point is 00:30:23 I get a little nervous. That's all. Yeah, I'm nervous, man. Because I know everybody thinks that I'm anticipating to come in and listen to it and hate it. but I really want to like the album. I really want to enjoy it. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:36 And I think that he's, not to cut you up, baby, but I think that he, I hope that he doesn't make the mistake of trying to rap his way back into our hearts. Like, because just be, you, you're a great rapper. You don't have to, so that's what I'm saying. But this album, I'm like, the way he described the concept,
Starting point is 00:30:53 I don't think you're getting any of what you got on that mixtape with Clue. I think this is just song substance. I don't, I don't think he's going to be a rapity rap it all. Okay. I, um, yeah, I'm not nervous. Like, I was talking to my TikTok live earlier. I'm not nervous about the album. Like I said, Cole doesn't really let me down on albums. The only part about, and I've said this before previously, the only thing I don't like about music coming out that I'm looking forward to is having to come in here on Monday and
Starting point is 00:31:21 talk about it, which is. Well, that's why? Because sometimes I just want to enjoy the album as like a casual fan. I don't like it's now my job to talk about music and sometimes I just don't want to talk about music and then have to hear people's responses to me talking about me. Like I just want to enjoy the album and I have to talk about it. But that's my job. So it is what it is. But like I miss being just like a fan. It's like, oh, I'm just going to go in my room and listen to this and I don't have to hear anybody's opinion on it. And I don't have to give my opinion on it. I don't have to make sure I'm voicing my opinion and getting what I think across in my words the right way and worry about people cutting it up and misinterpreted it.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And like, I just, I just want to be able to listen to music. But, you know. Yeah, I mean, I've gotten that out of sight out of mind for me. I used to feel the same way, but I've made peace with that that can't happen anymore. I can't be a fun consumer anymore and just enjoy music. I'm still a fun consumer. For the stuff we like, I also wish I could be a consumer that doesn't like anything and just keeps it to the motherfucking self. Yep.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Why, though? That's part, that's the beauty in it, though. Like we all get to share our opinions. Because sometimes, I mean, even with artists that I do like, I mean, not every artist, no matter how great they are, are always going to be batting a thousand. And I think it's unfair to any human being to shit on them when every now and then they get something wrong. Like, not in a personal way. I've never done a review that way. But like, sometimes I don't want to shit on my favorite artist.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Like, yeah, I didn't like it either. But this guy or girl has done so much amazing. Why am I going to come in here and just spew negativity? of somebody that has given us decades of amazing material. Now I just got to highlight your bullshit. I think that's just unfair, but it's the gig. I think it's unfair because we only have it for, what, three days before we should talk about it.
Starting point is 00:33:10 And I think that's a little unfair for somebody that took probably three years to record some of this music. I mean, that's here. For us to kind of like. 10 years to record some of it? Yeah, for us to come in three days, 72 hours later and be like, it was trash or it was amazing. I just, I think that's a little unfair.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I think we should be able to. live with it a little more. But I think that it's okay to consume something and then give your opinion on it. First reactions are cool. Yeah. And I feel you on that because I feel that even worse with like Netflix series, somebody spent over a year of their life shooting this. And I literally watched the whole thing in one Saturday and then tweeted,
Starting point is 00:33:45 yo, where's season two at? Yeah. Like, yeah. Are you kidding me? Yeah. I almost died doing this. I did my own stunt. Jackie Kim with it.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Like, I still got bruises. is at my knees. You want the next season. Yeah. Like I had anxiety attacks over this shit. But there's something dope in that. It means they enjoyed it so much. They want more of that.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But they don't, you know, they don't take it to account the time and energy it took. I mean, I feel like when we were a little younger
Starting point is 00:34:10 and there was less volume of how many shows were coming out with the streaming thing. We would rewatch series. Like, I've rewatched soprano's wired a million times. I'm going to rewatch. A lot of stuff now, though,
Starting point is 00:34:20 it comes out, even the best shit. Like, I was trying to remind myself the other day to rewatch succession. But then I was like, there's so much should I have to watch and I don't want to rewatch that. That's where I think it sucks for the directors, the actors, and all that.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Music at least has replay value. Like if we love this co-album, we're going to keep playing it and playing it and playing it because music can be replayed. Rarely now do you watch a new series a bunch of times. Like I'm definitely going back to rewatch that. Now, once I find out who the killer was, I moved on. Yeah. Like, Succession is one of the greatest shows, period. and in this time
Starting point is 00:34:54 it's not going to get the same credit I think Sopranos or something like that gets because people rewatch that shit. Bro, the shit would come out on Sunday and you'd rewatch the Sopranos episode that just came out four times the following week before the new one came out.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Like you really just had replay value of the shit. Now you just move the fuck on. The secret is dating somebody that I never seen it before then you got to rewatch it because then it's fun again because they're watching it for the first time. How did you know that baby D?
Starting point is 00:35:17 Have you did like a study on this? No, you know, through the grapevine. I heard. that's the best way to do it. But I introduced, like, every new nigger I got to, like, Gray's Anatomy. Like, there's a group of niggas in the world that have only seen Grey's Anatomy from start to finish because of me. That's a lot of episode. That's like a, that's like the longest relationship.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Yo, by the way, by the time they hit season, by the time they hit season five, I'm usually gone by them. But they keep watching it. Usually what they knew, bitch. But they like the show. Baby D said it's a group of niggas in the world that have only seen Great Anatomy because I introduced. It's a crazy club. That's a crazy, that's a crazy fraternity being part of. They need to start a discord, discuss episodes.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Crazy anatomy train. Are you, are you, uh, are you that annoying person when you're watching something you've watched already, but it's their first time and explaining certain stuff, especially because you already know. I shut up. I don't tell you anything. And if you ask me a question, I don't answer. If it's the wire or sopranos, I have to like remind myself.
Starting point is 00:36:22 to shut up. Or I'll sit there and tell a girl that doesn't care. Like, now you don't understand. Richie appeal he has a complex because his brother was the boss. And Tony was young. And now when he came out, he's looking at them like they're kids, but not they're the boss now. Rory is the worst person to watch shit with that he already seen. I'd be like, yo, all right. Because I want you to get it. I get it. I get it. You're not that's much smarter than me. You got on the first watch and I so did I. Like I don't need you to like I see it. We're watching the same thing. I hate watching shit with Rory. That's funny as fuck. I'm definitely watching snowfall. No, there was one time I forgot what
Starting point is 00:36:53 me and Demaris were watching at my crib and she had never, I forgot what movie it was and I was talking through the whole, DeMaris was sleep through the whole movie and I didn't even know it. I was explaining shit, pausing shit and then hit and play. She woke up at the end and said, right, I was, I didn't watch one frame of that movie. Yeah, I was not to fuck out. I was talking to somebody that was asleep. Wait, y'all was watching it together?
Starting point is 00:37:17 He was in my living room and she was knocked on my couch. You couldn't see she was sleep? No. I was looking at the shit. He was too busy talking and like through the movie. He didn't even notice. And you know how like my couch is really big. We were on complete other sides. Like I just wasn't even really looking. I was just like, yo, all right, this happened. This happened. Play.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I was so locked in. And she had like the blanket over her. I thought she was laying down watching it like this. Drewl all over the hell. I can't. I hate watching a series with girls like that though. Because now I got to watch. We got to start the episode over when you wake up.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Now mind you, this is your fourth time. watching it. Yeah, I'm like, yo, well, I gotta watch this. But I usually don't. I'm good. Like, I'll watch, especially if it's a show, I lock into shows. Movies, I'll fall into shows. But shows, I'll fall into shows. But it was just, I'm already having me watching some boring shit. I don't know. Every time I come to Rory House, he puts something up on, because I'm not, how are you going to listen to this falloff album, though? Because I'm not, like, I anticipate just like putting it on and just like doing shit around the house. Like, I don't want to be, I just want to be, I read the first time I hear it, I have to be reading the lyrics because I care more about the lyrics to anything else. So I'm going to- You can't more about the lyrics to. I can't more about the lyrics to. I'm- the music? I always. We've had this conversation. I care more about the list. I can't listen. I can't. I got a hit of music first. So I pull it up like the lyrics on my phone. Um, and I'm reading the lyrics. First listen. I can't do that. Yo, the baby needs a fucking cycle. That's how you listen to rap. That's some serial killer shit. Yeah. That's, I want to hear what, like, I want to know what you're saying. I don't want anything to miss it. But Cole, like with certain rappers, I hear you. Some rappers, are harder to understand and don't cut through. Cole might be the clearest rapper next to Drake.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Like they both, you can hear everything they're saying. Do we all remember, I do the same thing with Drake too. Do we, especially with Drake? Do we all remember like when we were in school and we all learned what type of learners we are? Some people are visual learners. Some people are audio learners. Some people learn better when they write things out. I learned the best when reading.
Starting point is 00:39:06 So that's why like when I read the lyrics as I'm hearing it, I just, they sit better with me. Now do we think, do we think, Mark, Mark, we're typing them up right now? Like, is it going to be on genius at midnight? No, when you post it to Apple, Apple has. I don't know whether it's AI or whether you submit them, but Apple has the lyrics that play while you... I can only speak for Avongar and we submit just so you have the... Yeah, you submit.
Starting point is 00:39:28 So when you're, yeah, when the song is, it goes word for word and you can... I forgot you can do that now in the DSP. That's cool. I thought you were sitting like opening genius and reading. No, I'm on Apple music, hit the little lyrics thing. Okay, I can kind of understand. I'm following along with... I can't understand.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Like audio book. I still think it's serial killer behavior, but yeah, staring at your phone reading it, to me at least is better than the laptop. First listen? I need to. That's crazy. That's wild. First, listen, I'm looking at my phone as J. Cole is rapping, reading his lyrics.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Sitting in a bed just like this, reading. Not excited. But what are you, because you almost, you don't even know the cadence. So, like, you reading shit that he already said. No, I'm reading it while he's saying it. Like, on Apple, as he's saying it. No, I get that, but it's like, you don't know, you don't know his flow. So, like, you can be reading shit that, like, you could be up here and he's down here.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Like, and it's like. Like a bad karaoke. Yeah. It's like, how are you reading that? At least when you know the song, you know the cadence you can kind of like read faster. I literally just look and go along each. I read it as each highlighted word comes up as he says it. I'm not reading ahead of him.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Nah, though. That is a sick way to like taking music to first listen. I love it that way. Huh? Head phones are speaking? Uh, have phones. No, man. AirPods and a crib.
Starting point is 00:40:44 I mean, I've done that before. Like, obviously I think we were, we were traveling when, uh, Siza? When Siza dropped, I walked around in the rain in Seattle. But we were already been to Seattle. We were already on the ground. But I think that, I think when somebody's album dropped and we were traveling somewhere and I listened to the headphones.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Oh, you talk about Drake and 21 Savage? I think we were in London. No, we were in London already. Yeah. But I listened to it on the way because we were going to record. I listened to it on the way to the studio on the headphones. But I'm putting on my Netflix. Netflix Sonos headphones for this one in the crew. Matter of fact, if Key is off working time,
Starting point is 00:41:24 I may just get on the E train and take it to Jamaica Center and back. Nah, that's, that shit going to sit for real on a train with the, yeah. And like if you get the concept, Colesane traveling and he went to St. John's, like I got to get that, I got to get that feeling. I have to go on Utopia Parkway. I have to be there. Ma, how are you going to, like, how are you going to digest it? Yo, Maul's reactions to me sometimes. Are you going to listen to? to him when you wake up or are you going to, he just be ignoring you sometimes. Are you going to wake up, um, and do it or are you going to stay up? Wake up and do it. You think I'm going to wake up,
Starting point is 00:41:59 set my alarm and wake up to listen to something. No, not wake up at the next day. I mean like the next day. No, no, no, I'm, I'm staying up. I'll be up past midnight for sure. But I'm not going like, the way I listen to music, I like putting like, I have something on like playing like watching something, but put it on mute and then like have the music playing. Oh, my ADHD would lose. I couldn't, I can't ingest two pieces. Because, like, say, like, if it's a game on at midnight, like so West Coast game, right?
Starting point is 00:42:26 Like, maybe the clip is or somebody. The Lakers are playing. Like, the game is on, so I'm watching the game. With headphones? No, no, no. I got the music playing, like, you know, through the speaker. So I'm listening to the music, but I'm watching the game. So I'm watching something else, but I'm listening to the music.
Starting point is 00:42:42 And because that's how I take it music the best. I got it. I can't be hyper-fixated on what I'm listening to. It got to kind of just be, like, playing. And then I'll hear something and I'll be like, damn, that melody is hard. And I'll start the song over. Once I do that, now I'm more into tune to what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Because I heard it. I'm hearing the music and I'm like, that got a nice little, you know what I'm saying? I like that melody. I like that beat. I like that rhythm. All right. Well, he's saying right here.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Then I'll start it over because I want to hear what he's saying. So I'm definitely going to be up. But yeah, that's how I listen. I can't, I can't, because if I sit down and just like, this is the only thing I'm focused on, the music doesn't really, it doesn't really connect to me. Like, it takes longer for it to connect to me like that as opposed to I'm moving around. I'm doing shit, whether I'm cleaning or, you know, working out.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Like that's why I'm working out is or when you're traveling, flying, like that, you know, stuff like that. Walking through the airport, you listen to shit like that. I listen to no bullshit. I think I said this before. I listen to music the best and hear music the best while I'm sleep. It's weird. I know it sounds weird. But if it's playing, not loud.
Starting point is 00:43:48 But if it's playing low and I'm like, I fall asleep, I can still hear the music while I'm sleeping. You got to hit REM sleep, bro. It's important. No, I understand. But I'm just saying, like, I've done that. And when I woke up, I'm like, yo, what song was that? And I go back and I'm like, that shit sound crazy. It's so much music that I've received like that.
Starting point is 00:44:05 I don't know how and why I connect to music like that. But definitely playing it low while I'm sleeping and just letting it loop. Definitely one of the best ways for me to listen to music. So you're going to be dreaming about Cole? No, I'm not dreaming about it. Well, it's Dreamville. So, I mean, there's kind of disconnection there. He didn't, Cole didn't really want the problem with me.
Starting point is 00:44:23 He didn't want that issue with me. That's why he said that. Cole didn't want that. You out of all people. Me out of all. He didn't want that problem with me. But yeah, I think I'm going to listen to it and, you know, not hyper focus on it. Just kind of have it in the background.
Starting point is 00:44:35 I have a multitasked music. Like, I would prefer to be cleaning up the crib. Yeah. With headphones on while I'm listening to. Cleaning the crib with headphones on is hilarious. For a first listening to Cole album, I need a cover headphones. That's how you're going to rob. Rob is going to be right behind you while you mopping.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Yeah, they ain't even gonna like, You ain't even gonna, you got the big ass, my crib just be getting robbed all the time. You got the big ass Soto's on. They're taking all your shit. But you have to, that has changed
Starting point is 00:44:57 because I would never do that before, but that's changed with having Amara. Like when she's sleep, I got to put on headphones and listen to shit. I can't just be in the crib my sonos fucking sound bar glass. Oh, no, no, no, no, yeah. But I mean, you don't have the headphones
Starting point is 00:45:10 on while Amara's up moving around. No, no, no, of course not. Yeah, she's sleep. But it's at midnight. I hope she's going to be asleep by midnight. So I'm definitely going to, Yeah, you don't want to wake up. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I understand that. But I'm with you. Multitask shit. I know you were saying hearing something you like and then playing it back. What's our over under with, we can even add this to the spreadum segment. What's over under of how long it takes DeMaris to get from 29 intro to 26? How many times she bringing the intro back? See, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:40 It may take 30 minutes for her to get to 26. But see, this is my only issue with Baby D because she love Cole so much. I don't know if she can be objective if it's not good enough. That's not true. I don't know if I believe that. I never understood that because when Cole did what he did, I was one of the first people to come in here just like, man, I'm sad as as fuck he did that shit.
Starting point is 00:45:58 I made videos about it and everything. Like I speak on when I don't like shit, I do that with all of my favorite artists. Like when people say I'm biased with favorite artists and shit, I critique Cardi, I critique Janet, I critique Cole, I could critique Drake. I critique all of these things. All right, that's cool. But how come when I said what I said and express how I felt about what he did, you was like giving me pushback and mad at me?
Starting point is 00:46:17 I was not bad. I was expressing what you felt. And the exact clip that you're talking about, you can hear me in the back laughing. That's not true. Now, the only time you've gotten critique from me is afterwards when you would say, I think you said his career was over and I was like, that's not true. That when you was like, his career, his career is done. Committed career suicide.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah, I was like, that's not true. But did you understand what I was saying, though? I understood what you were saying, but I still disagree. I don't, I don't think that that's true. But I get what you were saying. But many people, even now have come out and echoed the same symptoms I have. Like, his words don't really. I'm still going number one.
Starting point is 00:46:47 we like you see I'm saying listen we not we know that's never you've never heard me say his album is it going you never to hear I didn't I didn't I didn't I wouldn't say that I'm just saying like what I was saying 24 and all the way to today
Starting point is 00:47:01 was his words a certain way that he talked is just not it don't land the same it don't mean the same and this is coming from other artists and rappers that are saying the same things that I'm saying like it just don't because as an emce that's all you got and I get it But I completely understand what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:47:19 And that was one of the reasons why I was so upset. Like, I was one of those people who have been fighting for Cole to be respected since fucking 2011. I was on Twitter arguing with people about Cole. Like, I get it. I get it. So I'm open to, if it's not it, it's not it. But it's never not been it.
Starting point is 00:47:34 So I can't, like, I don't know how to speak from that. Like, as a fan of other artists, I've had albums where it was like, this ain't it. Outside of For Your Eyes Only, which got heavy critique, it ain't never not been it for Cole. So I'm not. Yeah. Hey. Yeah, we lit. Oh, I meant to say, and we can move on soon. I meant to say, I think you owe me a bit of an apology. Oh, you owe, every episode, you come with some bullshit. What I owe you? Because you really mean to me often. Maybe I, I told you off, Mike, not anything I said on camera, that, hey, I think the fall off is coming in August. This was of last year.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Because I was told people involved with the tour, they was hitting them, like, yo, you free, you free, you free. We need you for the whole tour. And it was going. to start in August. So I was like, we're getting the fall off, obviously, before that. If you saw Cam Ron on his podcast, give the timeline of where their disagreement started, he said, Cole told me, let's do the interview in June. That's when the falloff is coming out. And then Cam hit him in June. And Cole was like, damn, you hit me right in June, huh?
Starting point is 00:48:38 I'm pushing it back. So you were really mean to me when the falloff ended up not coming. And I said, yo, this was the information that I was doing. June last year? Yeah. 24 last year okay I just don't think I deserve some of the abuse
Starting point is 00:48:52 that I get from from the merits you deserve every bit of abuse I gave you so I had I had very accurate information I could abuse you more I should abuse you more especially in February like I threatened you with the belt a lot I could pop ass more mm-hmm you feel me I just I just cannot wait to come here Monday
Starting point is 00:49:10 after hearing this album how mad would you guys be and it's good that Trey is here as well shout the Trey Because I don't have Twitter now, if I took over the New Rory and Mall Twitter at midnight to live tweet about every song. Yeah, no, Trey, don't do that. Hide the password. Change the password. Change the password on my own.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Shit is crazy. Change the password. Please don't let him do that. Jesus Christ. I wouldn't follow us. I would unfollow us. Remember that used to be fun, though, on Twitter when you would just live tweet of what was like happening at the moment? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:41 We still do that. You just don't have on Twitter. I got the New Rory Moll one. I used to hack New Roy and Mall Twitter all the time I'd be DM on people like yo this Trey Yodish Trey Yodish Trey Saying what though
Starting point is 00:49:52 Yotish Trey Look at my dunk videos It's so funny how like all of the listeners Well a lot of the listeners Like they think we do everything So like whenever anybody types anything Maybe like yo Demaris Pidge I'm like it's not like it's not me
Starting point is 00:50:07 I'm the New Rory We have a social media fucking person Like yeah I'm not saying you're tweeting from that And and I know know this versus won't happen, but I do want to challenge all you other podcasts. We have the most athletic digital manager in the game. Nobody's, nobody's seeing our social guy on the court. I just want to make that very clear. You know, on Instagram, go see what time it is. Go do like a fake dribble in
Starting point is 00:50:33 front of the camera. A fake dribble. Yo, go pro like Ma. Trey, please don't do that. A flagrant too. Your show is named after a fucking sports phrase. Go see Trey on the court. Please don't do that. You're not seeing our team. You're not athletic. though. Yeah. He's not seeing Tre. Shultz can box
Starting point is 00:50:46 and play ball. Yeah. He ain't seeing Trey. The basketball, though. Trey put, no, Trey is beating Andrew Shultz in one-on-one.
Starting point is 00:50:53 You put Shultz in the fucking who. Shultz can bowl. I've seen footage in ball. Yeah. And I was actually shocked when I saw him box. I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:50:59 that was for you because you remember he was talking crazy about him that one time? We even had that conversation and I was very, very honest when you had asked me how you
Starting point is 00:51:07 think that fight would go. I said his reach and I could see he could fight. I saw one of his angles. I was like, oh, yeah, I'm losing a shelter. There's something about saying, like, his reach. I don't know. I don't like the way that sound.
Starting point is 00:51:16 I mean, it's a pretty big factor in boxing. I know, I get it. I just don't like it. It's hard to beat someone up. His reach on you. Like the word moist. Like you make me uncomfortable. Moist makes you uncomfortable?
Starting point is 00:51:29 Like the word. The word moist makes you uncomfortable? For real? Mm-hmm. It's like awkward to use in a sentence. So if you, I just bake the cake. If I have a slice of it like, you know, baby this is really moist. like yeah you see
Starting point is 00:51:42 and I don't she said oh you see no I don't like I'm using it in the correct phrase like yo baby this cake is what you add extra mayo to this like yeah yeah okay I'm sure there will be someone in the comments
Starting point is 00:51:56 agreeing with me that's like a thing moist okay it's like the sound your tongue makes when you say it like the oi like it's I don't like it baby do you like niggas that like rewere I don't like niggas ha got you got me I'm sorry I forgot. I forgot what type of time?
Starting point is 00:52:12 You feel got? Yeah, I got. I'm got. What were you saying? Do I like niggas that one, baby? Do you like, uh, do you like dudes that like re-wear they, the same socks they had on yesterday? Who the fuck would like that? What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:52:23 Who would like that? That's dirty. Some of your favorite, some of your favorite niggas. Well, first of all, how you know that? Because niggas is dirty. You know, niggas is dirty. You, so you've seen, what niggas you've seen that wake up and roll over and put their same socks on? There's been plenty of niggas that spent the night at the crib.
Starting point is 00:52:38 And I'm like, well, you ain't going to go home and like, Like, no new underwear, no new socks, nothing, just same. Yeah, like, yeah. Like, what you don't do? Nothing worse than the briefs when you got the, oh, gosh. It's like the bacon collar shit they call on your drawers. No, I'm cool. That's, that's fucking, I can't lie.
Starting point is 00:52:57 There's definitely been nights that I'd expect I was staying somewhere, and I don't like sleeping in socks. I got to put them socks back on in the morning. No, no, I don't. I'm going right home to shower. My homie got to give me some socks. He's talking about a girl. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Oh. She got to give me some socks. She doesn't fuck the Nick. Give me them, give me the practice. She doesn't fuck the Nick. Yo, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me, don't do that. Josh Hart is married.
Starting point is 00:53:22 I mean, well, yes, I mean, hypothetical. And he lost his virginity to his wife. Never slept in anyone else. For real? No. Oh, I don't know. You put that on his decade. That's honorable.
Starting point is 00:53:32 Are the Knicks doing well? They are. What are we at? Six, seven in a row? Eight. Eight. So we're going to the next. the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:53:39 They definitely. I mean, we're number two in the East. Yeah, they're definitely going to the playoffs for sure. What's that? It's good year for the next. We're going to get Detroit out of it. Trade deadline is today. Well, shit, actually in 30 minutes as we're recording this.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Janus, I thought, I thought Janus was going to the Warriors, but I forgot him and Mike Dunleavee still have a little beef. So we're not going to see Janus and stuff, at least not this year. Don't know what that looks like next year. They got Chris Stap's Porzengis. I guess. It is what it is. I like.
Starting point is 00:54:08 to see Porzingis still in the league. I like it. Yeah, but he got to stay healthy, man. Porzingis has always hurt, man. He's always hurt. Listen, that was one of those trades that I was completely wrong about. We got rid of Porzingis,
Starting point is 00:54:20 and next time, you know, we do this every time. Why I make the worst decisions ever? And we were correct. No, but I understand why you felt like that in that moment because at that time, Porzingis was, they were talking about him and Janus. That's who they was comparing.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Like, yo, when you take Yonnas? So I'm like, word? This is a real conversation. But, yeah, I mean, In retrospect, I was wrong. That was the greatest trade. Oh, yeah. The Knicks possibly could have had to get this new regime.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I thought the Knicks were going to get, make a run at Yannis as well. That doesn't look like it's going to have. But then again, it is 30 minutes left, so we could be completely wrong. It could be something going on. Cat. Cat. Cat for the Greek? Cat, McBride, Hart.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Nah. For Yannis? I will go help them niggas pack their lockers. Your family. Y'all got to get the fuck about it. There's a reason his last name is Hart. I love pissy. What the fuck does that mean?
Starting point is 00:55:14 That means nothing. It's the heart of the- His arena's Yonis' last name is Ante Tocompo. It's a reason. It's a reason his last name's up to Tocoucau. Can you imagine like Astoria if we ever got Janus? Astoria. Can you imagine the garden and Janus first game coming out that tunnel?
Starting point is 00:55:33 Shit. He got to be a Nick, bro. Like it's either it's either the Knicks or even Golden State is cool, but the market is not to say. Yonis, I think belongs in New York. He belongs in New York. He looks like the type of, he's the type of player that he should be in New York. I don't know when it's going to happen, but, I mean, you know, we have to wait and see.
Starting point is 00:55:52 They did get Alvarado, though. The Knicks did get Alvarado. I like that pick up for the Knicks. Yeah, I thought it was cool. Where are you at with your squad? Don't try to cherry pick us now. What's up with your Lakers? I'm going to be honest.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Love LeBron, great player. But I think it's, I think it's time. I think we got to just give LeBron as flowers, you know, but we got to move past the LeBron era in L.A. Send old yellow out to pasture. It's not, I don't want to say send him out to pet, but it's like, it's not, they're never going to, we've got to be honest. LeBron and Luca is not going to work.
Starting point is 00:56:28 And be honest, I don't know if Luca works with anybody, honestly. Like, Luca, he's a great talent. I don't know if it looked good with Kyrie. They obviously went to the finals with Dallas. But Luca and LeBron, I mean, even when that first happened, I mean, it sounds great. It's still the, to me, still the craziest trade in NBA history. Dallas trading Luca to the Lakers is still like, there was no like rumors of it. It just happened one day.
Starting point is 00:56:54 We looked at our phones and was like, what the fuck? We said it was fake. Yeah, like Luca's a Laker. It sounds good when you hear Luke and LeBron. Obviously, you know, but just looking at it, you know, LeBron being 40 plus years old now, still in great shape, still playing great. It's just, you know, it's not going to work in L.A. And I think that the Lakers can only begin to rebuild and try to get back to a certain level.
Starting point is 00:57:16 And it's not like they're playing terrible. They're not like stinking it up. Hey, you want to shit in the playoffs. Exactly. That's my point. They're not going to do nothing in the playoffs. So it's just like, we got to move past the LeBron era. You got to get the keys to Brony, keys to the city?
Starting point is 00:57:30 That's his bleak, fade to black? No, that's, no, that's not going to happen. Brony will not have the keys to L.A. That will not happen. But, yeah, I think once we move past the LeBronny, era, you know, and, you know, thank LeBron for his, his illustrious career and everything that he did. Then we can start rebuilding. But right now, I mean, I'm going next, man.
Starting point is 00:57:49 I'm going to next. Mall, today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet. Yes, sir. Florida's sports book. It's that time, Maul. Is it the big one? It's the big game. The big one.

Starting point is 01:03:53 While we were recording just now, Jay, Co dropped a teaser saying album out at midnight. I mean, it's the greatest, it's the greatest teaser in rap history. It's a classic movie. The greatest teaser. You got a common delight in that shen. Come on, man. He teased you?
Starting point is 01:04:08 I'm teased. I think my nipples are hard. Yeah, I love that. Demaris is moist. She's definitely moist. You know, getting moist about to fall on. She heard that calm and flipping got moist. Fuck you laughing at, Trey.
Starting point is 01:04:26 and Adila flip two see. Oh, man. That's what Cole does, though, man. He's going to give you that soul sample, man. I fall for it every time. Yeah, like, how are you? That's like the Jordan fade away. He can't go away from that.
Starting point is 01:04:38 It's money. It's money every time. Cole wraps on a soul flip? Nah, yeah. What are we talking about? What else I need? He's not going to lose. If he did, if it's 24 of those, then, yeah, it's a classic.
Starting point is 01:04:48 I mean, what I thought was so crazy, though, after he dropped that. They pushed the Super Bowl back because of the fall off? I think they're going with next Sunday. Let me tell you what's not going to happen. I can promise you. I knew Jay Cole had power. What will be happening on Sunday is the Super Bowl will be happening on Sunday. I don't get a fuck who album is dropped.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Because of Rock Nation. They tried, but Rock was like, no. Yeah. They tried. They tried to push you back, but no. But now that we are back to some sports here, listen, man, should I do my victory lab now? How come you guys never show up with flowers for me?
Starting point is 01:05:18 I cleaned you up in our spread them segment. This is Spreadum. Sponsored by Hard Rock Bet. I was talking to people at Hard Rock and they was like, yo, come to our Super Bowl party, but don't like, we've seen you clean mall up so he can't come. So, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:34 you have to name a thousand rappers on stream. No, I need my get back, yo, double nothing. Bet it back. Oh, you wanted them. Bet it back. Who you're taking it in the game? Bet it back. Bet it back? I'm taking the Patriots.
Starting point is 01:05:47 At four and a half? I'm taking the Patriots at four and a half. All right, I'll go with Seattle. That's all it takes? I ain't even sound confident in that. No, if that's all it takes, cool. I mean, I don't even know why I would do that. Bet it back.
Starting point is 01:06:01 Matter of fact, if I'm, no, let's take it further. I said, I think two episodes ago that I think Cardi B is coming out on Bad Bunny set. This is the way we'll bet it back. You got to name 2,000 rappers if Cardi B comes out on Bad Bunny set. I'll clear our spread them debt in a heartbeat. And if I'm wrong, I will name the thousand rappers. But if I am correct, you nameing 2,000 rappers. We're going to be here for a week.
Starting point is 01:06:28 I don't think 2,000 rappers exist. Like, make him do something like push-ups. I would just start making up names. Make him do some like 1,000 rappers and then like you got to do like a thousand push-ups or something. We both rap before. That's two. Hey, I don't know if I liked that bet. 2,000 rappers?
Starting point is 01:06:44 That's some insane. That's crazy. You got to do 1,000 push-ups. You got to come at every day this year and do push-ups. Peas want to do a hot talk challenge. Pete's tried to make us do and Hard Rock, if you're listening, we should add this into the
Starting point is 01:07:00 the interface of Hard Rock, but the sour grape challenge that Pete tried to get to do. That was the worst shit of them. You have to finish a whole bag of them. Okay, I like that. A thousand rappers plus a whole bag of sour grapes. My, my jaw is just clinched
Starting point is 01:07:13 and thinking about that shit. I wish I could have seen Maul's face eating at that hour of grade. I'm too old for shit like that. My taste buds is, I can't take that. Yeah, that's, I mean, but all right, if you scare, say you scare. I'm not scared.
Starting point is 01:07:24 You scared? Go to church. A whole bag in them, sour grapes. I can't do that. That's impossible. So do you think Cardi B is going to come out? You don't want to risk it? Not that I don't want to risk it.
Starting point is 01:07:33 I don't think she's going to come out. I'd have to make the bet. I don't see Cardi B. I just, because they performed, well, Bad Bunny performed that song, that record. I like it. Years ago with Shakira and Shiloh. It wasn't with, it wasn't with Cardi.
Starting point is 01:07:48 It wasn't with Cardi. Cardi will obviously be at the Super Bowl because her child's father. Yeah, he's playing, Stefan, is playing in the game. So it's not far-fetched that she'll pop out since she'll already be there. I think she's going to come out with, with Stefan.
Starting point is 01:08:08 I just don't know if, like out the tunnel? Like during the performance. I don't even think he's going to be in there for a half-time adjustments. They're going to make a moment. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think she's going to come out for his set. I can't.
Starting point is 01:08:21 see her coming out. All right. Well, then, all right, we're taking. Our bet here is. Bet it? She's not coming out. Bet it? Bet it.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Is with our spread out? It's four and a half with the Patriots. I'm taking the Patriots. Taking the Patriots. I'll take Seattle. And we're taking a. But now what happens if Patriots win, but Cardi comes out? You don't see that happening, Trey?
Starting point is 01:08:45 I'm just saying what happens if the Patriots win and Cardi comes out? Did I lose? Tie goes to the runner, I guess. I'm just saying phrases. Ha? Huh? Then maybe we have to name. While eating 50
Starting point is 01:08:59 Monterellas fixed. While eating 50 Monterellis. Okay. If it ends up being a tie, I have a really good compromise. If it ends up being a tie, I'll name a thousand rappers. You have to eat the sour grape challenge.

Starting point is 01:09:47 How you want to tell me? Because I was on stage Watching you You were on stage performing and doing your thing And watching your thing. Doing your thing. She didn't eat 17 mozzarella stick.
Starting point is 01:09:56 No fucking way. We weren't clocking it. I mean, I'll give, Edna's honest. I think Edna was clocking it correctly on the screen. Because we had the number thing going, right? Yeah, Pete.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Oh, nah. Yes, the Pete was gassing it. He was just, yeah. She didn't eat that many mozzarella sticks. You crazy. Demaris would have threw up all over that fucking things. 15 sour grapes.
Starting point is 01:10:19 If we tie. Why don't make your shit easy for him? You got to name a thousand rappers. This thing I could eat a fucking grape. Like 15 of those? Dave, that's torture. That shit tastes terrible. You could take five shots with me.
Starting point is 01:10:34 Potential sponsor. Take five shots. Five shots of tequila with me or you could do 15 grapes. Pick one. We are not encouraging drinking and vetting at the same time. I just want to make that clear. I think that's in the fine bring. Give me 15 grapes.
Starting point is 01:10:47 I ain't taking five shots. Five shots is a lot. I don't drink. Yeah. Give me 15 grapes. I drink in five shots. Because I could drink water. I could drink.
Starting point is 01:10:54 water after I eat each grape. Like that's... That's gonna make them more... And if I can name a thousand rappers, you'll have some time. Yeah, yeah. I can spread them out. They'd be the real spread them.
Starting point is 01:11:02 That'll be the real spread them. I'm taking the page is four and a half. So on the good hard rock name, that's the bet? Yes, sir. That's our hard rock bet right there. Boom! So Super Bowl predictions outside of that,
Starting point is 01:11:14 um, did you guys watch media day? No. I didn't see the media day. Damaris, we pull up a, that beautiful young lady that stole the show. As Pige brought up a good point, there's no real stars this year.
Starting point is 01:11:28 There's potential stars that I think will become stars in the NFL, but there's no like, you know, A-list legacy act in this Super Bowl. Stefan Diggs is probably the most popular outside him being talented, but, you know, personal life. It was a mediocre media day. And thank God this beautiful woman came in and saved the day. Oh, that's generica? Yeah. Generica, does he say that name? She might be
Starting point is 01:11:53 Generica It might be generica But I think it's generica Generica Owens, yeah And I mean I think media should dress this way Not teachers But I'm fine with this fit
Starting point is 01:12:03 I think this is a great fit Are you fond of this one? This one is a perfect fit Perfect media day fit She looks good She looks amazing Yeah she looks good And
Starting point is 01:12:12 The internet was killing her But she's powerful Why? They were saying that Some slacks would have did it job Like you could have just worn pants Like it was unprofessional Okay, I can see people's hair
Starting point is 01:12:24 I can see it too I'm not gonna lie But Yeah And she It's the She doesn't have a shirt on It's cleavage
Starting point is 01:12:30 Yeah Oh yeah I mean What did Demer say During our teacher debate Like she can't change How her body is shaped That's fine
Starting point is 01:12:38 But like Just media period And I'm Listen I'm cool What she wearing But I'm sure people Are just thinking Like media period
Starting point is 01:12:43 You just could have Pants Like the shorts I ain't ever even See no slack shorts She should have wore Like a Hillary Clinton pants.
Starting point is 01:12:52 She looked good though. She killed that. She looks amazing. But I can understand. I can see people pushing back on a media day type of thing around a bunch of, you know, players and things like that. I could,
Starting point is 01:13:01 I get how people can. I mean, should we at least have better expectations for our players? I mean, I get CTE can change the brain, but they should be able to handle a woman with their thighs out. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that.
Starting point is 01:13:15 I'm just saying like a lot of the guys, a lot of players are married, things like that. You know, I could see how people would make. that a thing. I get it. I don't, I wouldn't give a fuck. I think she looks amazing. Only a wife would get mad at you for you doing an interview. I didn't pick her outfit. What you want me to do?
Starting point is 01:13:29 Yeah, I mean, but again, it would be a kind of like, uh-huh. Women in media. He was over there answering them questions a little, yeah. You was over there. That interview was a little long. She was asking poignant questions. Yeah, no, she broke the game down amazingly, sweet. And we talked that, we exchanged numbers just because she thinks she could help me with my PR image. And I was thinking hiring her as a
Starting point is 01:13:47 consultant. Public speaking. Yeah, and I told her you was my homegirl. Yeah. Imagine saying that to your wife. Spell poignant for me, Rory. Who? Rory. Spell what?
Starting point is 01:13:59 Poignant. P-O-I-N-T-N. That's crazy. That spelling is crazy. That is not like you spelled point. You spell point. You spell point. Yent.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Why you spell point? Because that's the root word. You don't even understand English. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. You went to the root word. Huh?
Starting point is 01:14:22 You spell it. Poignant? Mm-hmm. P-O-I-N-T. No. No? P-O-I-N-T. P-O-I-G-N-A-N-T.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Can we confirm that page? P-O-I-G-N-T. P-O-I-G-N-T. It feels like it's a G-N-A-N-T. It feels like there's a silent one in there. What I said, P-O-I-N-T? Mm-hmm. Poignant.
Starting point is 01:14:45 I thought I was the closest. Poignant. Poignant. Point-y-E-N-A-P-N-T. Got it. I mean, we're elevating. But yeah, media day, well, women is hard enough for people to say.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Generica look great. Shout out to Generica on. She looked good. Media day used to be kind of funny. Do we have another angle of the fit, of the look? There was some videos. I'm just trying to see the other, like, generic, she had that shit on.
Starting point is 01:15:06 She looked great. Yeah. Now, Jalen, you have continued. They're still sitting. You know, which just shows, like, no matter what she got on. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 01:15:21 Yeah, she looked good. She looked good. I wanted to talk about her interview style and that, but I mean, cool, if you guys want to be horny. I was just saying she asked great questions. I didn't hear with you. I'm just, they're talking about the outfit. I didn't, I'm sure she's great at her job,
Starting point is 01:15:35 but she looked good as well. She looked good doing her job. She is good at her job. She looked great. She looked great. She looked great. She looked great. Do you think any moments are really going to happen at the Super Bowl
Starting point is 01:15:44 outside of the game? I mean, obviously last year, which we don't have to talk about that was just a big thing. I do think Bad Bunny is going to have a whole, section dedicated to saying fuck ice. I think the choreography and dancing may say fuck ice. I think he may wear a dress. I think he's going to push the envelope with everything that's happening right now.
Starting point is 01:16:05 Do you think his viewership beats out last year? Easy. You know how many Latin countries are tuning in for this shit. That's the cheat code with everything. Like how global. All Latin artists have that cheat code. You know how many Latin-speaking countries there are? But you have to think, though, Moll.
Starting point is 01:16:19 They are competing with the Turning Point Kid Rock Show. Mm-hmm. That's Sunday, too? Yeah, at the same time. They're boycotting. God forbid. The All-American, I think it's called. A Puerto Rican is allowed to perform.
Starting point is 01:16:32 Is that is that the thing that ludicrous turned down? No, no. That was a completely different. I was a little bit of a festival. The All-American halftime show with Kid Rock, Brantley, Gilbert, Lee Bryce, and Gabby Barrett. What a lineup. Yeah, yeah, they're about to pack Bad Bunny up.
Starting point is 01:16:47 They're about to pack him right up. The All-American Half-Top show. That's what the number. numbers that's gonna do numbers right there y'all got y'all got yeah got yeah got the all-american halftime show fucked does erika kirk uh does she host erika kirk don't do that see is she is she the uh is she the emce light of turning no she's not she's not and now to the stage chris rock i can't even speak him to chris rock yeah you think chris rock is coming out for the all-american a half-time show i was more proud of myself of getting a good mc light cadence
Starting point is 01:17:22 on it that I said the wrong name. So we do, we do think that bad bunny is going to have a political statement. Oh, obviously. Absolutely. After all Trump, different Puerto Rico with the paper towels, huh? This is how y'all are you paying? He tried to nuke the hurricane. This is how y'all repaid.
Starting point is 01:17:38 I do, and we don't have to get into any of that. I do hope that everything is safe outside at the stadium because obviously they've been very vocal that ICE will be checking your tickets on the way. Checking your tickets. What the fuck? literally ice scanning your tickets at the stadium
Starting point is 01:17:56 I really do pray that everything this does not become violent or a complete fucking spectacle propaganda machine on this whole shit and this is actually the one time I just kind of
Starting point is 01:18:08 hope football footballs yeah I think it'll be all right but I do think Bad Bunny would definitely do something without vocal he's been about the entire thing
Starting point is 01:18:18 I don't think he's going to take this opportunity to now be quiet about his political stance So, you know, you'll have a bunch of think pieces on Monday morning. They have nothing to do with the game. I need to go to a Hispanic household to really enjoy the Super Bowl. Like, I don't want to be with no niggas. Like, I need to be with the people who understand what the fuck he's saying.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Like, I need to be that. I need that type of energy. The way I. I.P. Diggins say say T's. D. D. Nigginsethelphi. Say cheese.
Starting point is 01:18:47 That's my shit. I don't know what he's saying. I think it's not like he said he takes the SATs. That's what I call it from here. This titi me P. IP. You're going to need someone
Starting point is 01:19:01 like the way I... Say cheese. That's all I know. Selfie say cheese. That's all I know. That's all I know. IP. IP.

But for them to explain every word to you, the way you read the cold shit, like, nah, just let them enjoy the shit. They don't got to translate in real time. I don't need them to translate.
Starting point is 01:19:37 I just know they're going to have the type of energy I want. Oh, yeah. No, it's crazy. You need to be around Spanish people for the kids. Yeah, I want to go up to Bronx. I'm going to watch the game in the Bronx. Can I go home? Yeah, come on.

Starting point is 01:22:05 What they were saying in the comments. But in the comments, they were calling Mitch and Major. They were talking shit about them because they said that they would stay through cheating. And I feel like that was them being honest. A lot of women won't say that out loud.
