She just wants to be a naughty girl. She just wants someone to fall in love for her. But it's not me. It's not me. All she want to be a Cinderella. I don't know the heart to go with tell her. It's not me. Welcome to a new episode of the new Rory Moll podcast.

I'm not more. I am not Rory. And we are back to talk to the lovely people. What a song on that intro that we just plugged in and didn't really listen to so we couldn't really get a reaction. I've heard it. Amazing. Oh my God. The room is blown away right now.

Yeah. Wow. Chills. I have chills. I think we blew out the speakers. That was Rory featuring Chantelle Mae and. Rahim. Rahim.

Not Me is the name of the single. Available on DSPs now. Available everywhere that you get music. Everywhere that you get music. Napster, LimeWire, Kazah. The response to the first. Audio Mac. It was really good, man.

It was. I'm curious how this one's going to go. This one has more like Instagram captions. Okay. I feel like this one is more shareable. So, you know, we'll try. It's toxic. Yeah.

Or it's honest. You said, oh, what? It's honest. Just like the last one. But, well, we, we, we, We spoke about it on the show before. Toxic can be honest and honest can be toxic as well. Honesty can be toxic.

I'm not going to fall in love with you, Ma. I'm sorry. That's not toxic. No, it's honest, but, you know what I mean? It could be taken as toxicity as well. I think she, I think Chantelle, shout out to her. Love her so much. Shout out to her.

I think she was more toxic in this record. Really? Because Rye's sitting there saying, like, listen, I got demons. you accept me for them, you love me for them, you want me to fall in love with you, it's just not me. I'm not there yet. You know where I'm at in my life.

You love me for my demons, but you do know them. So what's the problem? You do know what time it is. Right. And then she just comes in and is like, don't compare me to your ex. Just changing the subject,

as women always particularly do. Right. And then just starts talking her shit. Instead of all the information I put in front of you. I'm sorry, am I projecting about my personal life? I was just ready to say, this feels like it went somewhere else.

I was just saying, Oh, the song. Oh, available. All DSPs. Yeah, it went somewhere else, but it's, that's okay. That's what music is supposed to do. That's what art is supposed to pull out real emotions and it's supposed to, you know, it's supposed to make conversation. I'm just saying, don't force me to talk about my demons and then when I do, you change the subject. I can respect that. It's all women do. So you put out the second episode of the visual.

Yes, where you said you have no demons. Right. But it's funny because we had a. we had some conversations around the whole demon thing. And somebody said something interesting about that, about, they feel like demons. When people say, my demons, my demons, it's just a way for people to avoid accountability. I agree.

When we got into the Givion album, I was saying, eh, sometimes it's mental health shit we just kind of use as an excuse to get around shit, like as a therapy advocate. So, yeah, I definitely think people use that as an excuse. And I think their demon is they can't take

fucking accountability for the life of them. Right. And that's it. See, there's demons that you can deal with that may come from trauma that can be fixed. But people that just won't take accountability and are avoiding shit to get over on you. No. Leave that alone. Fuck you and your demons.

Weirdo. So with the rest of the rollout for the project now, is it going to be another episode and another single? Are you going to keep that routine going? Here's the thing. And again, I'll be super transparent. that people really give a fuck, even though they have had a great response to the records. I think people care. We've been talking about this project for us.

It's finally coming out. In no way am I competing with Beyonce. Right. But no matter who you are in life, when Beyonce puts something out, you just chill. Even if you're not competing with her, like, it's just better just to let that shit go. So I want to get these two records out. Because what I think people don't understand as the casual fan is that you literally are battling, not demons, algorithms. So I had to get, I started.

a Spotify, Apple title page from scratch, zero, nothing. I'm not in any algorithm. I'm not in anything. And the only thing that gets you in that shit is traffic. And how submitting for playlists and letting shit go,

sometimes two packs don't do it. So I had to spread them out at least 10 days apart. So I could let one rock and then grab as much traffic as I can on the second one so I'm not putting out an album to deaf ears. Because then it would just go directly

to whoever saw my Instagram post that day. Yeah. But that's the fucking battle when new artists are completely starting out. And I know I'm in a privileged position because I do come with an audience already that is curious. Even if they don't even like R&B, they're just going to click it because like, all right, let's see what he's doing type of shit. So I do salute all new artists that start from dead scratch on their artist's profile pages because that shit is very difficult. So Beyonce is the 29th. Let's let Beyonce, Beyonce, and then I'll figure it out from there.

but I do mean this for real this time. The album is coming very soon. As soon as I could figure out where the fuck music's going to be after Beyonce's. Beyonce. She does what she's supposed to do. Yeah. All right. Well, not me available now on any platform that you can get music.

It's a very new Royal Mall Toronto Friday, I feel like. Is it? Is it? So, 1985. Shout to 1985. That's my guy right. there was one of the producers on Not Me. One half of division.

Yes. And the, just go through his discography. I don't even know where to begin. Hotline playing. Yeah, do you. Yeah. Hotline bling.

Yeah. He may have heard it. He's done a few tunes. Yeah. He seems to be part of, of like, your new entourage. Like, I feel like I've seen y'all been moving. I think I've seen 4K

red camera footage of like, y'all just maneuvering through hallways together. Like, it's weird that I've seen. 85 and Division is putting out their record today as well. Their record is available today as well if I get caught. And it's just very interesting how like two worlds collided on the same Friday. I don't know if that's angel numbers. I don't know if that's God.

I don't know if that's the sixth God because everyone's from Toronto, but us? Yeah. It's um, well, you know, what happened was we just hung out and talked about, played a new record and just recorded things around what happened to us while we were listening to a new radio. It wasn't a video shoot. Okay. Oh, is there's talking about my rollout?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all the was. It was just us getting together, playing the record, and the camera just captured what happens when you get together and listen to good music with your friends. So you, Dreia, and Daniel hang out that often that there happen to be a red camera chilling. Well, it's funny because everyone happened to be in Atlanta.

All right, let's stop the bullshit. Let's stop all the bullshit. Everyone happened to be in Atlanta. The mixing is in the building. The who? Mixing. Mall is a video vixen. Oh, mixing.

And you're mixing. I thought you meant like mixing. It's a triple on Sandra. No, you was mixing up the video. Oh, well, you know, quadruple on Sandra. We had, we had fun. You can't spell male vixen without mole. That is true.

If you try. That is, that is very true. You can't. You know, this is why as men, we don't support each other's projects. I thought this was support. No, this is not support. I've been getting killed on it. My phone started going crazy.

I was like, all right, what the fuck is going on? Okay. But this is why men don't, you ask your homeboy to show up and do something. But sure. This is why you should overthink. This is why you should overthink sometimes because it's like, all right, wait a minute. What are we doing again? Can I really see the treatment?

All right. Let's give some context, though, because we are kind of rambling. So if I get caught video is available now, single available now by Division. Division shot the video in Atlanta. My LVR family, Justice, Carlin, you know, everybody that was down there. So Justice and Daniel reached out and it was like, yo, we're shooting a video for the single. You should, what's up? We want you to do the video.

And I was like, a little cameo. Yeah, it's like, all right, what are we doing? Yeah, like Ben Stiller and Bad Boys for Life? Yeah. So they said, well, you know, you're going to be Daniel's best friend, right-hand man. And we're going to go out on the town and just have a night with guys night out. And, you know, it's going to be a misunderstanding of phones. And, you know, it's not Daniel's phone.

It's your phone that was left behind. and his girl finds it and she goes crazy after she sees the text message. So I'm like, okay, so y'all want me to be that friend. The friend that the girlfriends hate don't want their boyfriend hanging out with. So mall. So mall. No, yeah. You sound that sounds like brand to me.

No, but I'm not that guy. And I don't want people to think that I'm that guy. I am not the, I will never force a friend of mine to do something that he doesn't want to do. Let me just say that. Oh, semantics man over here. I'm just saying, I will never do it. I'm going to be the guy that's like, hey, you know what, you know, you know what's going on. We know what could happen if you do these things.

Be careful. But you are okay being the friend that unwillingly knows that we blame everything on you. Like, oh, they was with mall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be that guy. I'll be the fall guy. I think that's part of being a good friend. Sometimes we all have to be that friend for somebody.

We have to be the one that it's like, yo, I was with you. Hi, man. Like, whatever. It means your girlfriend's going to hate me forever because she thinks, I'm that friend. This is how you became the-in-shed. You know why that can backfire with, more, let's actually talk reality.

Because you are not that friend, even though you could be easily stereotyped as that friend. And I've done it in the past, in my personal life, as you being that friend. Absolutely. Here's where it backfires. And I'm telling you from personal experience. Yeah.

I have definitely been like, oh, they went more. Come on. You know, Maul. You know, he's like the only single dude around. Like, they was there with him. And, you know, he got him. He's been around for a minute. When you do bring your girl around on certain nights,

and mall's actually who he is, the person without hose, it looks a little fishy. Yeah. Because you have to blame it on the friend that also keeps the hose when you have your girl around. Yeah, yeah.

Now, I've made the mistake because of Maul's reputation being like, babe, come on. Like, I'm, they were mall, like, they cool. I'm just playing wing man to him. Right. I'm talking about you.

Like, I'm like, oh, just wait, can't wait to get home to my girl. Oh, you guys, oh, you guys go to the second spot. I'm just going to stay here. Like, then you go out with her in whether it be dinner or like a social situation it's like it's kind of weird like I really never see more with the hose

he's always alone and why is it every time you go out it seems like he's always with the host listen and that's a part and that's another part of being a great friend is that you have to even in that instance I still have to make it seem like no no these are I invited them they're with me I have to take claim for all the women that are around that are hanging out they're with me I invited them because that's what good friends do.

When you're the single guy and your friend is in a relationship, you have to make it seem like all of the women around solely because you know them, you invited them. For sure. You're the guy that they know that's here at the party. They've never seen Rory before. Never met him in their life.

No. You have to be that friend. So, yes, I would be that friend. I'm a great friend in that aspect that I will take the grenade for you. Well, you were casted correctly. Definitely were. And matter of fact, justice had came to me first

because you're such a hot commodity He did ask me He was like, do you think mall would do this? I was like, yeah, I think more would do that. Only for, only for, you know, those are my guys. And then I started to feel a way that they didn't ask you. That my reputation, like, but y'all think I'm wholesome?

Like, I got bitches too. Hey guys, I got bitches too. Like, what about me? You know what it is, though? I'm joking. I'm joking. That's funny. But I think that it's,

because it started, we had the conversation about the money bags. Now, I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't realize the money bags was out here, shaking shit up the way it is. I really didn't. I had no idea. Humble. People from, because, you know, when you're doing something, people, you don't really know. But people that's looking at you from another perspective or looking at things from another perspective, their angle is different. And the way that they perceive things are different.

But in being in Atlanta, being at you talking to JD and other guys and things like that, just hearing the conversation, I'm like, yo, this is, I'm looking at 85 and we just laugh because he's like, yo, it's crazy that this is a thing. I'm like, yo, this is, it? It's not really a thing, though, is it? What episode are we on? 86. All right, for 85 episodes, no pun intended, we have been telling you that this is a thing and it stirs up controversy amongst everyone's personal life.

But that's when, see, this is the internal. This is the crew. But when I step out of this and people are talking about it, that's when it's like, wait, okay, so, no, this is. really turned into something. Even JD was like stay away from my vegan bitches. Yeah. Absolutely. That's exactly that's exactly what JD said.

He would say, yo look, no money bags, please. And I was just like, all right, man, like whatever. But the song was great. We had a good time shooting it. Had a lot of fun. I'd like to look at the game film together. You want to do it now? Yeah. You think LVRN will clear it for us to put it in our YouTube? For sure. Yeah. Well, Maul's

to clear it too. We have to talk to Biggs to see if Maul's okay with having this. I'm right here. I clear it. Go ahead. Play it. We can start with a disclaimer. Yes.

The song is wrong. Ha. Jay Z. Yes. Which J. Dermaine Dupree had put out a text message between him and Jay Z talking about the record to get it clear. And that's another thing. People said that I'm in the video because I got the record clear.

Let me just be the first thing. I was going to say that that was what it was. I had nothing to do with this record. The record was cleared by the time I got to Atlanta and we shot the video. The record had already been cleared. Jay told them they could only use the sample if they put you in the video. That is. Jay did not say that.

They deleted that part just for marketing reasons. Okay. Got it. Got it. The real Jehovah owe you 100 favors. DeMaris. That's not true. I don't even know where to begin.

Yeah, like nobody owes me 100 favors. Jehovah. I'm not a Hovenger today. I think Hove was kind of feeling himself a little bit too much in that text. He said, I thought no one would ever make, pull it up. I don't want to misquote. No one will ever make a song more toxic than song cry. Well, song cry is very fucking toxic

Extremely toxic I don't know if we let Hove get off a lot of shit Because he is the goat and we agree with him Mm-hmm Song Cry is more hurt male ego than it is toxic Hmm He was loving he was loving Shorty When she said fuck him

Okay He was hurt By the third verse Hove was damn near crying in the way somebody from the projects would cry, which is, y'all was just fucking the bitches I was gonna get right back. That third versus song cry, Hove was hurt. But those first two, he was totally fine

with cheating on her. Yeah, I mean, was he fine with cheating on her or was he, you know, I guess being a man. Fucker, let's be toxic. We're gonna be toxic, we're gonna be toxic. He was saying, yo, I just put you in first class and we changed the forecast. Let me fuck other women.

I mean Never in bunches You can fly coach I can be faithful When you fly coach Don't look at me Oh my bad Huh Edd

Yes Right Yes Okay cool Edon Edon would fly coach And still not Let you be faithful

He loves you I mean he likes So he wants three seats together You might have a potential Third Into his You might have some shit He doesn't need to be faithful

Cuck it on the plane Is crazy You guys cheat together Hove Clid Hove clit Sample Yes And again, I just don't want to say song cry would be the most toxic song ever.

Yeah, no. It's not. It's men being hurt. No, yeah. Which can be toxic, but it's a toxic song, but definitely not the most toxic song ever. But I understand what Jay was coming from. This song is wrong is what's his disclaimer. Listen, I listen to 444 and lemonade.

I get it, bro. Yeah, he has to stand on that now. You know how Hove, it tries to be like relatively private with shit? I do think after that text message, he said, hey, you can screenshot this. Because you know Beyonce is on Instagram for sure. We don't know what her page is, but we know she's on there. She's there. She's in tune with what's going on.

Yeah. You know this record will come up and Beyonce is an extremely intelligent woman, especially when it comes to the music business. You know she would have went, Sean. Sean. You had to talk about this. Talk about this. You had to clear the sample of, I was just fucking them girls.

I was going to get right back. So I see Hove as a married, faithful man, getting ahead of the curve, let the world know, this is wrong. I'm clearing the sample from. music purposes, but you should not fuck those girls even if you're going to get right back. Right. Now your debut.

My debut. All right. I'm sorry. Before we start, who's some of your biggest influences? Are you a Stacey Dash because of the Harlem thing? Gloria Veles. Are you a superhead? Rosie Perez. Not really a vixen, but she's been in some videos. Lashonte.

That's a friend of yours. Yeah. Shouts to Che. Chay. Making good. Melissa Ford Definitely Yeah you're definitely Maulissa Ford

I'm not Maulissa Ford But yeah Those are my You know I love video vixins I think we kind of lost The art of video vixons Because now

Any girl is a vixen That does a video Or has an IG account So we lost the The true art So this was you And you're bringing it back This was you bringing it back

To the essence Well this was me trying to like Restore that feeling This was me trying to say Hey listen This is something that was very vital to videos. Yeah. This was something that was very vital to someone liking a song.

Sometimes you like the song just because you like the video. And this is me trying to restore that and bring that back and say, hey, God damn it. Listen, we need to bring back the video vixen's. And video vixen doesn't have to just be a male. I thought we wanted equality. Yeah. Let's have equal, equal rights, equal work pay, right? In the video space, in the art.

Let's have equal pay and equal rights. Because you remember when we was kids, C-106. and Park, TRL, go back to the block. Yo, who was Shorty in that video? Right. I think we need to have now the women leave their house and go to the block and say, yo, who was son? Who was son in the video?

Who was son with the hat on, right? Who was son? Honestly, I did that with Chloe's latest video. I said, who was that man? The one in the video and the performance the same? No. Two of my guys. Got you.

I found the one of the performance. I follow him on my Instagram now. Of course you know. He was squeezing ass. I don't know if he got cursed out after or beat. Rory Was that inappropriate? I'm sorry

We're gonna put the video And Hove is gonna watch this And these tied to Chloe Oh my God I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm toxic In the bottom right corner Well I won't

Ed and Will All right so we're starting With the And I don't mind Dragging us out Because I enjoyed all four minutes In this video I'm gonna cut it for audio

Are we gonna play the whole video? Oh yes For sure And you can splice it up But let's go through the whole thing Now you coming up The steps Yeah

No, well, we were walking. Okay. Now, I just want to know, do you live in the building with Daniel? No, so we were in the crib chilling watching TV. Oh, this is a crib. I thought this was an apartment complex because I'm poor. No, this is a house. This is a house.

So someone has steps like that at a house. She's not in front of her apartment door. No, she's in the kitchen. She's leaning against the counter, I believe. Oh, you've seen my kitchen. Does not look like that. So we're in the house. We're just chilling.

And then shout out to Drea. We went in the house just chilling. and, you know, this is us getting ready to prepare for a night out, a guy's night out. So this is Daniel and myself leaving. And Dreia being mad because Daniel was leaving with me. Yeah. Who was the ain't shit friend. For sure.

And shout out to Dreya. Love Dreya. And she actually killed this shit. Yeah. She looks great. I do want to note, did anyone on set bring up, I don't know if this is a Toronto thing, the no sideburn 5 o'clock shadow with the dark beard that Daniel has going on. Did anyone bring up?

I understand real R&B singers, which Daniel is, do innovative shit, especially in videos for the whole generation. That's the orange beard. It's just weird. It's weird that he has the 5 o'clock shadow and then it gets to, I don't know, 9 p.m. by the time it hits his chin. 9.27. That's like almost 9.30. Yeah. But I see what he's trying to do with, you know, the head tie over the shit.

Yeah. I'm just going out. It's the, it's the rebellious look. He looks rebellious. Like, he's rebelling against his, his, his relationship. I've just never seen an R&B singer dressed like Tank and Erica Badu in one fit. Division on Bush, oh, wow. That's crazy.

That's sick. That's a nasty comparison. Tank? I love, but I love Dale. Dale shit's on me way more than I shit on him. All right. Dre, you look amazing. We all know that.

What? What you mean? I told you I was going out with a boys line. Yeah, but you know how Marby with all them girls. You don't trust him? Damaris, have you ever trusted a man that ever said, you don't trust me? Absolutely not. No woman in history.

All right, bye. Great night out. And she's already having the flash forward. Yeah. Hold on. Because the titles went quick and that's why I didn't like. It's starring Daniel, a faithful black man and singer in the vision, which as a friend of Daniel, who I consider,

actual real friend. I would say it's a description of him. Okay. I would say that. Listen. I would say that. Listen, man, I'm not here to challenge that. I'm here to say, okay.

I have been in every situation someone could be in with Daniel and he's been faithful if he's in a relationship. I do not know. Right. He was faithful to the moment. Okay. He's faithful to the night. And now this.

Starring. This is wrong. At least they put all caps for your name, though. Yeah, but they got that right. But the ain't shit best friend? But it's in quotes. Just like I call back to what we were saying before. You have to be the quote unquote.

And you're looking at that girl, tities. Wow. I was not looking at her tities. There was something on the floor and I didn't want her to step in it. Understandable. She had heels on. That's what the ancient friend does all the time. First play.

Great record. Amazing record. Good lighting. Now pause. No, pause. No, go back. Yeah, go back. Pause.

Look them all leaned in like that. And also like... Fuck mall. I'm listening to fucking Daniel. You wouldn't want me if you thought I never had hold. That's a fact. That's a fact.

Women don't want the guys that women don't like. I've always had this. That's a fact. We just got to stop it. But that's what everything. You don't want the car that other people don't want. It's not the car you want. You don't want to wear the clothes that other people wouldn't wear.

I mean, I like my mother's Mazda, but... No, that's... But people like Mazda. It's a great car. Quality. Side airbag. Absolutely. Side earbags.

But yeah, I don't even know if there's a debate or something that we need to run into the ground. Women 100% want the man that women desire. It just is one lose. That's fine. We're not judging. It's just, it's a fact. It's fine. But why start the song like that, though?

Because it's, you know why. An R&B song and we need to bring this type of content back into this type of R&B. Because Daniel could really sing and they make real contemporary, real R&B that I love. So let's bring some more toxic shit instead of just the whispery toxic shit. Let's really sing about some toxic shit. Right. I'm on board so far. And he switched to a du rag instead of the headscarf that he had on.

Just so he could get that line off. Because you can't get that line off. Yeah, because you can't weigh that headscarf with the Ava Rex jacket. No. Not at all. You need a du rag. Now look at you, just the third wheel. Loving it.

Feet swinging like Bobby Shmurney. Well, yeah, we were in the liver room watching TV. And, you know, I'm just on the couch kicking it. And, you know, wife he comes in. I don't understand why she bought him a drink and didn't ask me if I was thirsty. I was going to say, if this is really her home when they live together, that is very improper etiquette from a woman's perspective.

Drea, that was very rude of you. And not that you're the creepy friend at all and not that I think Daniel would be the insecure friend. Just, I don't know, maybe put on some pajamas with some feet. You didn't have to come out in that row. Well, here's an eye. So, no, let me tell you how sick Daniel is. You ain't have to come out the bedroom in that.

Let me tell you how sick Daniel is, though. Daniel at one point, oh, set, really got upset that Drea was walking around like that. I feel, and Drey's a friend of mine. I want to call Daniel right now. Daniel was like, yo, so you just, is that what you're going to? I'm like, so me and Justice is looking at each other like, your fan, you know that this is a shoot, right? Like this ain't really your girl.

We're not really in the crib kicking it. This ain't your house either. Yo, Daniel was like, yo, so you're just going like, you just go wear that? I was like, yo, we're shooting a video, bro. Method asking. You know, that was the thing. I like, yes, he was method acting. He was in character the whole day.

Daniel was, he was in character. He was professional. He, listen, he did not like the fact that his girl was walking around the home like that. I also can't figure out the temperature in this house because Daniel is sleeveless. She's in a silk world and you have a parker on. What is the temperature set at in this house? I had a track suit on. I had a track suit on.

Oh, look at them loving each other. Mall's on his phone, as pretty usual. Hmm, the mysterious phone. Look how happy he is. Is this why Justice was asking people how he could get a hookah put into a car? Yeah. So now let me explain this part.

So now if you're a Toronto native, you take hookah very seriously. And for those that are just on the audio right now, the scene is Maul and Daniel red-lit, which looks even crazier for two men to be lit this way. There's a hookah in the two-seater in the back. You, men can't do nothing together. I'm telling you, I'm figuring it out.

If that was white light, it was like, yo, why was this so bright in it? Why do y'all want to see each other so well? Don't light me. Don't light us together like that. Don't put me, don't get me the red light special

while you smoking hookah next to me in a two-seer. He was blowing smoking your face. No, he was not blowing smoking my face. But back to the hookah, I definitely was trying to pitch to lose the hookah because it was like, you know, they was like, oh, we can't really get the hookah in there. How will it stay?

We're moving. We're driving the car and this, then, the third. So I'm just looking like, why don't we just lose the hookah? But now if you say that to somebody from Toronto and people from Atlanta, be prepared to fight. Huka is an essential part of life if you're from Toronto or Atlanta. Huka is their version of On Neighborhood. Absolutely.

Absolutely. They don't say on God. They say on hookah. Every clubhouse I've been in. Mans, that's on hookah. On hookah, the tings are coming. The tings. But I have to know.

With this concept, Did you guys leave the house, Did Dreia like light the coals for her man before he left at least and he put him on? Yeah, who said it? No, it's a funny thing. We got in the car and the hookah was already lit. What flavor was a hoon? This is an efficient. This is a good staff around here.

They got a great staff. Was this driver under our shared account or was this an LBRN division? No, no, no. This was all. This was all. This was LVRN's budget. I don't know who was driving this car. I have no idea.

All right. Look what he just left Dreher there for her mind to wander. We're wearing such a great two-piece set. This is the funny thing too, though. What's up, Boo? You're still coming by tonight. I got something I want to show you from Felicia. Well, what do you think she wanted to show?

Well, who's Felicia? This is Daniel. No, we don't spoil the ending. This is Daniel's phone. Yeah. Oh, you're right. So I have no idea who this is. I don't know, I don't know no fucking.

I just thought it would be a front of yours that we know so we can ask later. All right. Every time I've seen a music video Do women wear this type of shit When they're by themselves hanging out in the group? Yes Really?

I thought that was just a fantasy thing Stained baggy sweatpants Yeah, y'all don't have your hair down In the crib chilling by yourself The scarf is on The scarf is on the bonnet is on number one Number two Not if your man is coming home to you

He's trying to cheat in peace Even if your man is coming home to you That's like the first month of like living together If that. After that, we get the long t-shirt and socks. That's it. Wow, Ma, that felt very specific. I'm just saying, that's what it is.

And I will say, a minute in, Daniel, as a cheater, to have your text pop up on the screen like that, very rookie move. You know what I say anything about the peach emoji? Yeah, putting an emoji next to showty's name. That's what I said, that Felicia with the fat ass. Felicia with the fat ass. And here's the thing. I know Drea personally. If she would have saw that phone before,

it wouldn't have taken a text message notification to pop up for her to go through it. The moment y'all lit that hookah got out that driveway, Drea would have been in that phone. I think every woman would have been on the phone at that point. It's mall singing along for me. Well, it's a great chorus. It's a great chorus.

And as you can hear in the chorus, it's stacked voices sound like, the crew of fellas singing that, chanting that. It's like the, you know, the call and response, basically. How long did it take them to convince you to repeat them all night? You know I wasn't trying to sing that shit. When you did, I could not. I was happy to see you get out your comfort zone because I think it's important for us to do things that were not comfortable with.

Absolutely. But this, I would have never believed. This video, I know you would have done. Yeah. But to do the chorus in the car. Well, it was. It doesn't look corny to me. It's, no.

I think it's, but it shocked me. It's, it's because you know me. And you know that I wouldn't be anywhere seen. We went to a whole Scorpion concert that was great. Didn't flinch a muscle. Some of the greatest hits ever was performed at night. Did I sing along? Not at all.

The whole garden was singing, feel no ways. And we all just had the tight face. I'm like, to this song? Like, not even this one? So yeah, so that's the thing. The vocals are stacked. It's supposed to be the crew of fellas yelling out, you know, if I get caught cheating, that don't mean I don't love you.

So that's basically what it was in the backseat. It's supposed to be me and Daniel. and we're having a conversation about relationships. And it's like, yeah, man, but if you get caught cheating, that don't mean we don't love them. So it's like, yeah, we don't. That doesn't mean we don't love you. And it's funny.

Women should know. Guys not out, that's just all we scream. That's it. Together in unison. That's what we do. All we do is harmonize. When we get together. It's male karaoke 24-7.

If we get together, we just harmonized. That's shit. Harmonize and in bitches faces. Oh, okay. I can't believe this shit. I hate when women say that. You can believe it. Why don't you got to go straight.

the sneakers. Oh, not the hub. Giving on mall. Yeah, because it's like, you know, it's like you got to get passionate. It's like, yo, that don't mean I don't know. What was the TLC choreography? Is that really your friend when they hit that shit that mall's hitting right now? Oh, what about your friend? Yeah, he hit, I think Maul hit the same. What about your friend? But why does your brain retain that?

That was about 20 years ago. When is that time you watched that video? The craziest shit never amazes me. Like, you retained that? I'm on the spectrum. Okay. Yeah. That's crazy.

That's like an excuse. Is that offensive that I really think I'm on the spectrum? No, it's not offensive. I think you're on the spectrum too. Yeah, my brain really retains. Extremely weird things. We're all on the spectrum. It's just that where are you on the spectrum?

Thank you. Yes. Rory's a little closer to the middle than we would like it. Damn. But that's such iconic choreography. You didn't see Moll doing this shit that TLC was doing? No. I think you know.

I thought it was an ode since you was in. It was just like more like a this. Like it's like, come on. That don't mean I don't know. You were in Atlanta. I thought you were doing a ode to. J.D. To Tevobos.

I get it. I understand. I get it. I get it. I like to shoot. Look at the crew. Sick ass, nasty ass crew. That's a nasty ass crew.

That's a sick crew. Can that just be the artwork of where I just paused it? Look at justice in the background. Look at J.D. Look at Daniel. And then deep in the back. All right, 85 is the really only faithful calm person in this entire video. I don't think 85 want to be in this shit.

He's mine in his bullshit. business. The rest of y'all, there's not even even a camera that's supposed to be here. Y'all walk through the hallway doing giving rapper hands. Well, no, we're walking. To the poker spot. It's JD for me. They're playing the song in the spot. We're walking in. So we kind of like, yo, you know what is, it's, you know, we're feeling good. The fellas is out. You know, it's like, we're just having a good time. Look at this crew. It's a nasty ass. This is a nasty. This is a talented crew, though. 100%. Yeah. This is a talented crew right here. Doesn't mean

talent can't be nasty. Absolutely. I mean, it's some nastiness. But, Roy, I'm not to let let you get that off because I'm 85 in a situation yeah that's a nasty crew in the video but you hang out with them in real life and not only that Rory would just be because Rory's on time that exactly so Rory would just be in the spot already texting us at the at the table like yeah I'm already I would have been 800 down on poker already like Rory would have already been there right like I'm in the hole anyone got some bread to spot me like walking Rory's mad he lost like a thousand dollars like it's like bro why are you here ready do how did you beat us here because white people are fishing in on time um I do want to ask

is Justice the new executive producer that wants to be all in the videos all on the songs I tell you what Justice

I don't think he really wanted to be in a video honestly I can't see Justice wanting to be in it I think that he kind of was just like fuck it

I'll be in it you know what I mean but I don't think he wanted to be in this video 85 well he just wants to make beats he had just flown in I think from Miami and he didn't

getting, he was on no sleep and I was like, bro, how are you even here right now? So he was just, you know, but he's, 85 is a calm laid back guy already. So imagine that to a person that's no sleep. Yeah. He wasn't really trying to do this, but, you know, it was us having a great time. And JD, I've always had problems with sunglasses indoors, especially with red lighting. I'm saying JD's getting old, but, you know, he's not as young as he once was. Is my political way of saying maybe he's getting old.

You know he really can't see in those right now. He didn't hit his mark. He didn't hit the tape that was at the end of the camera. He almost walked right into the camera, actually. But that's JD's look, though. Of course it is. I love J.D. This is my way of hating and showing love.

Absolutely. You didn't want to be in this part either. Well. Look at you finding your lens. He's not putting no hand in. Look at the synchronization. Was this choreographed? Put your hands up, mall.

With the sway worked perfect for you to be in the middle. But here's the thing. because I don't want to ruin the end. I'm walking into the club. I'm not really feeling it because... Ah. I haven't seen the video, so I'm going to have to... Well, I don't want to spoil it, but...

You don't spoil it. I'm not that happy to be in the club because I'm like, fuck, I forgot something at the house. Yeah. Look at Lex. Lex. And I think that was, I'm not going to say the quote, just because of my complexion, but that is a quote I've heard Lex say to one of my exes.

What is you? Oh, that niggis is. ain't shit. Yeah, go back. Just a hair. A hair. I told you, Lex said, who does Z is hilarious? I told you these niggas ain't shit. None of them. I'd fuck his shit up. I'd fuck his shit up is hilarious

because look at her friends being the ones to condone the violence. And, by the way, this was my favorite scene of the entire thing. Lex said all that, then turned over. Curled and hugged her man. That's me.

Men ain't shit, right? That's me bad. Niggas ain't shit, girl. Meanwhile, Dreya is destroying such quality clothing and sneakers. But this is where I think women don't think things through, right? We have a freeze frame on these Jordans right now, right? With the current state of fashion... Those don't look bad.

He could get... Those could be the Division I. Yeah, absolutely. The way Virgil changed the entire fashion game, marking them shits up like that. Yeah. She just made them another mill. Dre just did something.

She just did something with those jeans. But the Division I's sneakers, basketball. Yeah. No, listen. Triple entendre. Shut the hell. Listen, man. Lv.R.

just invite me to Paris when y'all go to Fashion Week and put them out. So was this an ode to when big A.Z and Jay were playing Monopoly with Real Cash in the Dead President's video? This was a playoff of that since the sample has Jay in it. So yeah, this was kind of sort of a play off of. them playing Monopoly with real money. Who did you feel you were? Well, I was J. I was big.

You felt like he was J? No, it was my brother. Oh, he's big. Okay. If you look at the video, my brother had a girl sitting on his lap. I mean, I don't know. You give me AZ vibes.

Okay. I mean, that's a good way? Yeah, not mad as that. AZ is a layback, cool demeanor guy. Would that make justice dame? I see what y'all was trying to do here. I mean, you know. J.D., big.

Yeah, I can see it. Yeah. Wait, what? No, go back. Yeah, these... I love this video, but the text messages and shit go way too fast for my old ass. What did Nikki say? What did Nikki say?

Nicky said, boy... I'm sorry, I'm stupid. It's lagging. I mean, it was your phone. Spoiler. What did Nikki say to you? I think she says, like, boy, you better come over here and, uh, like that. Boy, you better not keep me waiting.

I mean, thinking about you all night, eggplant emoji. Hurry up and get your ass over here. That those texts before. All right. So this, this video has made me a little insecure. I know you have to make video. crazy as far as add some sauce to it. But is this what women are texting, man?

I've never gotten any of these text messages. Yeah, I've never gotten the eggplant emoji text to my phone. I've never had, what was her name? Fatima with that. Felicia. Say, yo, I got some of you tonight, wink emoji. I'd never gotten that one. Yeah, I never got that.

Just being honest. And how are you destroying shit in the closet? You probably put those flowers there, Dreya. She definitely put those flowers there. It's a sick thing to remind somebody, though. Was she supposed to be Keisha with the blue lighting? Mm-hmm. I like it.

That is a crazy. To be honest, this is like a really fun night, and I'm kind of upset I wasn't there. And as someone that's also been to the gambling spots, never had a girl twerk on the poker table after. Oh, she was great. That was actually her idea. She was like, can I get up on a table and twerk? And we all looked at each other like, no.

What? You cannot do that. Why would you ever do that? And as we helped her get on the table. And threw a chip on her? Yeah, like we started throwing chips on her. Look at the hand placement from all. Well, I wanted to make sure she received her correct pay.

You know what I mean? Oh, I just like, God. I didn't want her to slide it in her. I want them to steal money from her. And you had a full house, so you didn't want to. I did have a full house. You wanted your chips to make sure. Absolutely.

Absolutely. Whose ever phone this is has all the bitches. You pulling up to hit this or what? If this is what women are doing, you guys need Jesus. If you're fucking this shit out of, like three, four women, somehow I'm triggered. If you're fucking this shit out of like three, four women, like

what are you, Ma, what were you doing with your life to be doing all of this? Also, why? You give me four bitches, good dick? Well, no, I'm a, uh... Do you have a job? I have a job. I'm just, you know, I'm a very thorough person in anything that I do. Okay. You know, I want to be thorough. I want to... I think they're

just pulling up, you know, they just... You got me going crazy since last time. I read the fuck up. We didn't even do nothing last time. We just ate and had great conversation me and Daniela. I don't know why she's saying

I got her going crazy. Danielle don't have no emoji by her name her pussy must be what. Right. You know what I'm mad that the director didn't doing this? At least give us

the one you didn't save like just the number because we all have that one. Like who is this? You never say that number. You got to scroll up to remind yourself or look at like the media to see the pictures like

oh I look at your Google calendar what part of the country was like? Little Caesars is texting you. Oh, you can't tear up leather shoes, Drea. I'm sorry. With your bare hands? A woman is really mad as you can. Drey did a good job here acting, though.

That's just a platonic friend. That's all. Shaking hands, selling her. Yeah. Thank you, you know, for coming out. We was all going to get right back. Different lighting in the car. This motherfucker think he's so slick.

I'm about to show his ass. I cannot believe I left my phone here all night. Thank you. You saw some crazy shit on here? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Time on.

Later, bro. All right, please. beautiful ending beautiful beautiful beautiful couple uh you know let's go i got my phone back i got my phone back damn drang i'm fat ass sorry um dreya did a great job great acting job now the ass was big actor can we get can we get an exclusive some behind the scenes i have a theory what is a theory i in fact think that was daniel's phone and in the car i said that let that be my phone and now daniel won't have his phone for the night or he has

you know the third phone well I mean you know now that goes into the next single and the single that they're going to put out maybe that could be kind of like you know an extension of it like it wasn't really the ain't shit friend phone

was really his phone but because I'm such a great friend and a great wing man I knew like yo I'm just going there I'm going to act like it's my phone for sure I'm gonna just take the phone

and you know walk out of there would you do that for Rory absolutely he wouldn't need to do that me but well the phone would probably destroy he wouldn't need to do that for you but would you do it for him I would but the phone most likely would be destroyed already so there wouldn't be a phone to pick up

and take home with me so but we had a great time man great video shoot a great record what's on your writer who would you have picked out of felicia daniela what was the third because those those texas they were coming in rapid fire which which would you have decided after the poker game has to be the one with peach emoji. Yeah, the peach emoji. I'm vegan, so I would go with the peach emoji. That's probably my favorite. And she was the first one early in the night to reach out. She was. Yeah, yeah. Because you know the ones that hit you later on probably there was options that they had early. Everybody else canceled. Now I'm the last option. Like, don't treat me like the last option. Do you think you've been the last option before?

Oh, God, have I? I've been past the last option. I've been like the last option B. Have you ever went through your night and then landed on the last option? knowing that you were the last option for her as well. Last option bonding. We both wanted to fuck other people tonight. We landed on each other. We laugh about it. We find peace and knowing that we respect each other's positioning.

You know you really didn't want to see me tonight. But we both ain't doing shit. Everybody else was busy. Let's console each other in our loneliness. So it works out. But shout out to Division. Shout out to LVRN. Had a great time shooting this video.

If I get caught available. now on your DSPs as well as the video. Looking forward to that project. I didn't hear it yet, but they seem to be. You heard a lot of it. Did I? Of the division? Yes, you did. How? We've heard it together.

No. Oh, maybe I just heard. Yeah, you heard. I didn't hear it. I thought you were with me. No, no, no. I didn't hear any of the album, but I like the fact that they're working with JD, Brian Michael Cox, 85, obviously. So, yeah, I want to hear what they did because division, their projects are usually really, really good R&B.

I think that this one, though, for them is more, this is like their, I don't want to say rebranding. It's a rebrand, I think. Do you think so? Okay. But I like the last one was the start to the rebrand. Okay, that's fair. And I want to sit down, even though, you know, we've told a million times those of our people. I want to get into a real conversation with them around album time.

Okay. I don't want to shit on OVO or even assume anything about OVO, but I do want to know where that strategy of the completely hidden thing went that I know OBO does all the time. And now they're right in our faces. I just want to get into that transition and why. I think I know the answer, but I do want to really have a conversation with both of them. Not on some French shit. You want to really get to it. Tell me the division story. Yeah. I think that would be interesting because I think a lot of people still don't know Division, really don't know their brand, their work. But if you are a fan of real R&B and you're a fan, you know, of that type of sound, I think Division is one of those groups and one of those artists that you keep in your rotation because they have a lot, a lot of dope records. For sure.

A lot of dope records. Speaking of videos, your friend and I guess my associate, not my friend. I like Tiana, Taylor, but that's like your friend, friend. She directed the Puff and Bryson's and Taylor video, which was great. Good record, good video. Even though that your friends. Love, love, love. There was a lot of comparisons, a lot of red lighting, a lot of crews walking up to the club, a lot of cameos.

Who do you think did a better cameo? Tiffany Haddish or Mall from the New Rory Mall podcast? If I had to, if I was a guessing man, I'll probably say more. Over Tiffany Haddish. Yeah. Funny. Yeah. Devil's advocate, her acting skills were a little bit better than yours.

Oh, Mall's acting skills? I don't know. Drea bought it. I might go with Moore on this one. She thinks that's my phone. Last question with that. For the people that have not seen it, Puff in the middle of the video. They're at the club.

They're dancing. He gets in a fight with his girl. He goes to the bathroom. He destroys the bathroom. Who did more destruction with red lighting? Puff or Drea? Well, we agreed that. Dreia may have done something with the Division I's.

Yes. So we weren't mad at her. And destroyed her own kitchen as well, though. Not just his closet. I'm going to go a puff because other people have to go in that bathroom. Right. And who can, like, pull a sink out of a, that would take some strength. Well, a woman scorned is, let me tell you, they get powerful.

They get strong. I have three sinks. They're all still intact. Good. Good. Good for you in your sinks. And put a bleep there. Yeah.

Anyways. Did you guys see what's going on currently with Cizza and CDE? I heard about it. I didn't really get into it. Okay. Well, just for some background. Listen, if it's not broke, don't fix it. Same rollout.

Every project. You feel like it's a rollout? It works every time. I think chaos and, you know, I guess drama always fuels and drives attention. and that's what you want around your project coming out. You want attention. You want the eyes, the ears. You want the focus on you.

So I get it. I understand how that could be part of a rollout. And I think it derives from truth, but yeah. I think they throw some sauce on it. Yeah. Well, just with some background, a fan basically accosted Siza in her comments saying, listen, you said the album was coming out this summer.

The summer's almost over. Still an album, like, what's going on? And Siza said it's 100% punch. And RCA on this one, I wanted the summer. They wanted more time. And I'm just trying to have a good time, stress free, L.O.L. So when a blog tweeted, you know, blogs pick up comments and they write about it. And Punch retweeted it and said, I'm starting to get tired of this, getting tired of this whole business.

And then Cissela later sub-tweeted him and said, we all tired. So today, Punch came out with a disclaimer or whatever you want to call it. Shout to punch. And this is he captioned this transparency. Yes, he said, I guess I should give a bit of context with the rolling eye emoji. That was sassy. Zizah and myself initially spoke about a summertime album, which is why she mentioned summer in a post-Grami's interview.

Shortly after discussing everything with RCA and top, we decided it was best to do it a little bit later to set everything up correctly, giving it its proper space in late time. There's a lot that goes into putting out an album, especially one with this much anticipation. We thank you for your continued patience and understanding. an announcement will be coming sooner than you think Punch. Here's the thing. I don't think Punch is replying to Siza at all. No, hell no, the fans.

Yeah, and I don't think what Siza said was wrong either. I think she probably wanted to do a summer release as artists that have been sitting on music and can't wait to put out the art that they created. And the people that are in charge of, well, not, I want to say in charge of her business because that's unfair to say. But the people she looks to to help her out with her business.

Yeah. said let's wait let's prepare we see what you're doing let's take some time and really put it together yeah i don't i don't think sis was taking shots at punch the way she has in the past before control where she was like yo it's punchful fuck punch uh that's the reason control's not out and i don't think that was the same way even though they have a history of uh twitter beef yeah yeah but i think that's just like brotherly sisterly shit i don't think that's a real beef and not only that you know you got to remember um two of the if not the biggest artist in the culture decided they were going to drop this summer. I'm pretty sure that changed a lot of

me and division. Right. I'm pretty sure that that changed a lot of, you know, planning and things that people were planning on doing. You got to pivot. You got to kind of get out the way and, you know, like, say, all right, listen, we got to let them have that and we got to come back with another date. And that, you know, it happens. But I don't think this is, this is nothing to really look at and say, oh, punch and scissors, you know, they're throwing words at each other on the internet. I don't, I don't think it's that serious. I think they're having fun and just leaning into it and watching people stir up things and think that it's something deeper than what it is. What a good way to buy time though. Yeah. Let's just argue on Twitter for a second. I like it. Like I said, it keeps

what a perfect way to go. It keeps the fans engaged. Yeah, it keeps the fans engaged. It keeps them focused on the camp. And Punch understands the internet. He's been on Twitter since our OG Twitter jit days. So yeah, let me go be the bad guy real quick, as I should be for my artist and blame it on me. This doesn't want to put it out, but I said no. Right. More verses. Not from Swiss.

Wow. Can you believe that podcasts and crews would break up ever? No. You don't say. You guys, I could never relate to this. This is despicable. This is such. What about the fans?

The culture loses. The culture loses once again. We've been robbed. Jesus and Mary, I thought you guys were friends. Jesus and Mero have announced that they have split. Wait, I'm not laughing at them. I'm laughing at us.

Shout at Jesus and Merrill. I'm laughing at us. I am not laughing at Desis and Merrill. No, we're not laughing at Deis and Merrill in the situation. We're laughing at us and our bullshit and the shit that we have been through and endured. They did it publicly. Have some cooth. Cuth.

Do we have the official Showtime? Tweet or release? Yeah, that's a tweet. They didn't have a good official. Wait, Showtime got to do they press release? Yeah. Well, they had to put out a statement. I think Ian's did ours.

You know what? You had to put out a statement. Bodega Hive, the illustrious Dizis Nights and the Kid Meryl will be pursuing separate creative endeavors moving forward. Desus and Meryl will not be returned to Showtime. It's been a good run fan. And Dizus said, shoutouts to Showtime. Shout out to Hive. Thanks for being part of the journey.

Proud of the show, my staff made every episode. Big Tings soon come. Shout out to Dizs and Mero. They've done a lot throughout the years. They had a bestselling, bestselling book. Obviously, to deal with Showtime. Did late night TV. They changed the podcast world.

You've had guests like President Obama, Derek Jeter, you know, they've done a lot. They've accomplished a lot. They push this entire genre. They might be the two that push the genre more forward. Is it more forward a best way to put something? Yeah. The most forward? Most forward?

I don't know. This is why we don't push shit forward because I don't know how to speak. They've done so much for this podcast culture, just this entire shit. And I don't want to make this sentimental moment. But shout out to both of them. Y'all have done a lot for everybody. We appreciate you guys. I look forward to seeing what both y'all do individually.

Absolutely. I like that there was still some messy Reddit shit. Yeah. Yeah, get your shit off. We did I get them on the show. Demaris wants everybody to come on this show. I've talked to DeSis about coming on, and this was before the rumors. which Edin came in my house.

I'm doing laundry. I was what last week? He came up my steps. I'm separating, oh, this will be racist. The whites and the blacks. Of course you are. You racist laundry, man?

I was segregating my laundry. Yeah. And Edon comes up without even saying, hey, did you know Deasus and Morrow are going to break up? Well, Edon, he's like, I didn't know. Edon is a huge DeCis and Morrow fan. I have a big of his marijuana. Yeah.

I'm a what? A bodega boy. He spent some time in a bo-bedega. Bodega. Bodega. You're a bodega boy. Bogota boy. Bogota boy.

Bogota boy. Yeah. We all staring at me. You're a bogita. You're a bo-gitter. But yes, he came up. I did not see the rumors as serious and then what, hours later. Yeah, then they split up.

It was confirmed. I was crying. Yeah, it's, um, again, you know, we can speak to this specifically. Sometimes, you know, friends in business, you find out that you're not really friends. or business separates the friendship, business gets in the way of the friendship. I don't know if that's the case here because I don't know what happened with them.

They may have just decided that, you know, they wanted to just go separate ways in their career that's just tired of doing everything together, which is understandable. Two grown men, they want to do their own thing on their own. Yeah. But either way, Deezer & Meryl should be applauded for the run that they had.

Yes. The things that they accomplished, you know, say what you want about them, but they accomplished a lot. And, you know, it's all good things. unfortunately most times come to an end and it's just the end of that doesn't mean it's the end for these two gentlemen individually yeah i'm sure they're gonna do desus was hosting i think he did jimmo jimmy kimmel oh yes a night two nights ago yeah which is crazy so i mean you know they they have a

started as a podcaster these guys will be fine they'll be fine they'll they'll still be uh somewhere in the culture doing doing great things i'm sure but either way thanks to deez is amaro for a hell of a run for just showing people from the inner city like the Bronx that, you know, you can elevate and do some dope things in this space and leave your mark and, you know, just create a lane of opportunity for other people to come behind you. So shout out to D. D.C. and Mero and good luck with your future endeavors. And my only critique is all New Yorkers don't wear Tim's. That's a fact. That's just all I say. Or do you have a pair of times? Of course I do. I wore Tims a lot when I was a kid. I stopped

wearing them probably middle of high school. Do you have a pair of here? Yeah, of course. You always have to keep it on deck. But I always felt that was like a cheap New Yorker joke. That's really not as crazy as it's funny for a second.

It just dragged for a decade. Now I'm like, hey guys, don't all wear Timbs at this point. I keep telling you. It's a corny, easy joke at this point. I've spent time in the Midwest and they absolutely support Tims more than New York.

No, no, no, no, no. they wear Timbalins. They wear apparel though. They wear Timbalin jackets. Timbleyn Scullies. Timberlin makes great clothing. I wouldn't know. If you're in the elements.

I'm not going to dig into Timberlain's outerwear. You have been to the outlets in Connecticut. Looking for regular Timbs. No, but you went into the, but you went in the store. You saw, that was quality clothing. Listen, Timbalin has. Not fashionable clothing, but if you were in the elements. If I was a construction worker and it was that time of year,

I would probably have a Timberlin job. jacket on. Yeah. Absolutely. I get it. But maybe you should make the butter jacket. That's nasty. That is nasty. Oh my God. Let's go get the carhart. See, I'm a car hard guy. I wear a car hard jacket. I'd wear a car heart hoodie, a car heart pants. I would wear that. I wouldn't go Timberland. But either way, man, you know, Timberlind is not a New York. We don't own the Timberlin boots, I guess. I don't. It's a stable. No, we still do, but it's a stable. It's just not like. It's really not, though. It is. For New York? I just like the joke got too corny. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Are you? Of course. Of course. I was a big Tim girl. Of course you were. A girl where Tim's come to your crib, you for sure getting that pussy. Ma. No, no.

She's getting that dick. She might give you that dick. She might have some dick for you. You're not getting pussy. She's getting dick. She's fucking you tonight. French Montana says the labels are taking out life insurance policy on the artist. Yeah.

We know that. and the artist should know that as well. If they didn't already know that, I don't know what that means. But, I mean, when an artist invest, or a label invest in an artist, for lack of better words, you are a product at that point.

Your product on the shelf at the label, they want to get insurance on their product. It is what it is. But I think every artist from every genre should be terrified of even the thought of that. Here's, I have a deeper question, do they have life insurance policies

on R&B artists? Or just rap artists? Now that's a deeper thing. Well, we all know that no matter what, let's say someone doesn't die from violence and dies of old age at 80 years old. Their discography, especially with streaming now, goes crazy. Or we've seen artists die from overdoses. We've seen artists die from car accidents. You know, rest of the peace, Alia, plane crash.

You know, so these artists travel. So, I mean, it's not, I understand how the optic looks. It looks like, oh, you know, artists are banking on, you know, the death of labels are banking on the depth of these artists. But if we're being honest, these artists travel a lot. These artists live lifestyles that maybe aren't so healthy. But that's got to be a terrible. All right, here's where I want to ask French this.

I have life insurance. They came to me and I'm stupid and ignorant. So I'm really asking questions. And that's what I want to get more into podcasting. It's okay if I ask a question. I don't know the research. Please, God. Like I'm really asking y'all, listeners can be smarter and tell me the shit.

I have life insurance. They came and did a whole fucking. blood test on me, everything. I have life insurance. It was based off what I pay now, off the health that I'm in. How can you just get life insurance on somebody's catalog?

Like this doesn't, I don't, maybe I don't know. He didn't say on their catalog. He said on them. Like a life insurance policy on them. I would know from what I know from life insurance and I'm stupid and poor compared to anyone that really owns a label

or is a high exec and a label that owns fucking catalogs of music and artists. Right. How do you even fucking do that? Well, I would have... That sounds stupid to me. And first of all, life insurance is not for life. Like, that's a 401K scheme.

That's another podcast for another day. Which D.C.'s and Merrill could cover that. Damn. Life insurance? Yeah. We should have got podcast insurance, all four of us. Not us. Funny to me.

It was funny to me. It was funny to me. It was funny to me. It was funny to me. It was funny to me. Life insurance on a podcast. Right. How is this?

possible. French. And again, I think I fuck with French. I don't think he's a stupid person. How can someone get life insurance on? Well, what I would assume is that they're telling the artist, oh, this is good for you. We're going to take out a policy just in case or somehow working it into a contract. Again, I don't know.

And I don't even know how we would research this. So don't tell me to do my Googles. But this is what I would assume that would happen. I don't doubt it. Trust me. I do not doubt it. And I'm sure there's a loophole. And they're way smarter than me, especially when it comes to scan.

jamming people. I'm just saying my regular citizen taxpaying ass the way I got life insurance did not work where I could have been like, yo, I got my friend Demaris. Let me take a policy out on her. I couldn't do that. Yeah. You could do it with your kids. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know the specifics of these labels taking out life insurance policies on artists. But I do. French is probably right. I don't think it's crazy. I don't think it's crazy. And it's not the first time I've heard of either. and stuff like that. So, you know, you just, you, you're a product.

I hate to say like that artist that assigned to these labels, you're a product of the label. So, yes, when you buy something and you have money invested in something, a house, car, whatever, it usually comes with insurance. So. Do you think T. Grizzly, as a registered nurse, would come to do the checkup to get life insurance for the artist? Because he is an artist and he would understand.

and he can Uber himself there because he's also an Uber driver. Talk to me more about that. So is T. Grizzly, in fact, a registered nurse? Like, he went to, like, nurse in school and has, like, a degree? T. Resley posted, most people don't even know. And I'm not shitting on him.

This is amazing. Most people don't even know. I drive Uber on the side. I'm a waiter at one of the best restaurants in town. And I'm a real registered nurse. Been in school for it for years now. Nobody works harder than me. Let me just say if that is...

The emojis are great. great though because it's a car and then it's fries and then it's a helmet with a cross on it if that is indeed true if teagrously is driving uber and a registered nurse and uh what he said working being a waiter we put pictures too and he looks like a waiter in the first one and obviously looks like a registered nurse because he has to get up that's a crazy uber driver fit which one is He's dressed like a blues brothers in a... A tuxedo that don't fit him. He dressed like he stole that tuxedo for sorry.

That button is screaming on for dear life. No, but if T. Gris, if this is in fact true and Tegrizzly is not trolling, and that's super dope. I didn't have no idea. He had a rest of the nurses one of the hardest careers to fucking do. This looks like a music video. That looks like a video. That setup looks, I don't know.

But if this is true, then T. Grisley, you are the fucking hustler of the decade. because I had no idea Yeah This is a music video This is definitely a video Because that's the same guy That was at the dinner Right with the drags

Yeah T-Grizzan stop playing with us Man Yeah Tegrizy We thought you was really like Stop the bullshit Man That registered nurse shit

Is different man No that would have been That's a crazy ill stat If Tegrizzly was indeed A registered nurse I mean he is an RN But That's a registered nurse

A real nigga Watch your mouth Oh. I think that's what he was kidding. Yeah, watch him out. Ed didn't said that. So I call I-C-E. I'm so.

I-C-E. And T. Grizzly could get you an ICU. Yeah. Since he's an RN. Fuck out of here, Edd. Yo, they take that, I didn't know there was a big difference between nurses and registered nurses like that. I don't know either. No, that nursing game is serious.

You know how much they was paying. No, actually, it's a squid game. It's different. If you registered, they look at you a little different than regular. of nurses. Oh, kind of like how we look at if somebody has a gun. Is that registered?

I think LPN stands for license. You're a nurse with a serial code crashed out. Somebody please Google this, but LPN stands for a licensed practitioner. LBRN stands for love renaissance. We already know that. Search what LPN stands for, please. You got a computer too.

It's dead. My cousin married a registered nurse and LPNs and then RNs are the next stuff if I'm not mistaken. We went to their wedding and licensed practical nurse. Practical, not practicing. Okay, practical. In the weddings you guys have been to,

like who typically speaks of the the groom never speaks well of course that's ain't about you he never speaks he speaks when it's time to pay the baby obviously the maid of honor

mate or matron of honor best man I'm following y'all so far mom mom or daddy mom and dad of the bride siblings of the bride

the DJ I don't know if siblings get to talk unless you have made an honor or best man shut the fuck up yeah yeah yeah like I don't

I'm not gonna let nobody somebody would know somebody would know siblings tell me that my siblings can't talk wow I love my My siblings.

Actually, yes, I'm very close with my siblings. How many siblings do you have? I have three. Brothers? I have one older brother, older sister and a younger sister. So is one boy? Yes. He's the oldest?

Yes. Okay. And. Explains a lot of... Mala is definitely speaking at your wedding. Whose wedding? I'm not getting married. Wedding would this be?

I'm not getting married ever. Okay. No, I'm not doing that. Well, anyways. But she would. If I did absolutely. There's no way. At my cousin's wedding.

She speaks at anything I'm at. She just finds the mic and I'm like, fan. They were like Midwestern Baptist, so it was already a very odd wedding. The Farrells walked in and they said it wasn't open bar. And my uncle was like, here's my credit card. Just don't tell me how much it cost. Because it was going to get weird. Yeah, bar.

It's open now. It's open now. It was just, yeah. It was very weird. That's when you got to open the bar. So my uncle. Nobody's dancing. Open the ball.

Just drink. So my uncle spoke just because he was the father of the groom for like two seconds. was like, hey, Matt, I won't say her name because they're divorced now. Thanks. Clearly saw that coming. Hey, yeah, you guys, just shout out to you guys, sat down. Like, let's get the night moving. Every registered nurse spoke, the doctor spoke, her softball coach spoke, her father's

man's in them spoke, her mother. And they just kept saying, I cannot believe you are registered as a nurse. And I'm literally sitting there thinking in my head in every health problem I've had, was my nurse registered? I'm pretty sure. Your nurse is registered, Lori, absolutely. But there's a difference. I found out of that day. Yes, absolutely.

There's a difference. There's definitely a schooling difference. If she's working on you nine times out of 10, she's a registered nurse. But I would have said you're a nurse. That's amazing. They was like, no, she registered, though. It's a difference. We couldn't go to the dance floor because no one wanted to dance because they was Baptist.

So they just kept telling me, like, you know, You know she's registered? She's registered. I'm like, I'm like, it's cool, bro. I wish I was gassing this. That was really the weirdest wedding

I'd ever been to my life. Shout out to my LPNs. You guys still mattered. And my CNAs. You guys matter as well. What is the CNA? If I'm not mistaken, certified nursing assistant or something.

I mean, you down with OPP? Please, look it up. Please fucking look it up. I don't know. DiMars is wrong. Just keep forward. Shout out to the Ginos.

Everybody streamed Pop Smoke's album for the rest of the week in the honor of his birthday. Yeah, man, so what you got going on for the weekend? That's a good question. I don't think I have anything going on. What are we going to do for the single release? Last time we had a party, like we got to do something bigger this time.

Bigger than a party? A bigger party. It literally comes out in six hours. I'm going to fuck edit up. I'm going to just let you out know. When y'all see me get up and just take off on this dude, like don't get mad. I'm going to have a bigger party.

What are you talking about, bro? We have six hours until it comes out. So I don't think we'll be able to put you. You can find some bitches of six hours. That ain't nothing. You for sure could find some holes in six hours. Y'all can, I can't. I wasn't in a music video.

Yeah, I don't know nothing about that. All right, see. I already see this music video thing is going. Malicious. Can we pull up the emotional oranges video where Rory was, brought the briefcase with the music in it? I was so good. Y'all don't want to, see what I'm saying?

Like, listen, man. You looked way cooler in yours. I'm carrying this cross, but listen, man, Rory was in the emotional oranges with a briefcase. It was nasty. Yeah, like we can pull it up. I don't mind. Yeah, because we ain't going to just kick them all ass.

I didn't see that, please. Oh, you didn't see that. How convenient if you not to know that Roie was in a fucking video? Oh, no, we can add it. Yeah. Let's add it back in. Let's kill me because I look insane in that video. Oh, my God. How did you not see that?

I didn't see that. Y'all didn't see that, but you saw the video. I did, though, right? I mean, yeah. One day I will show you guys the music video that I was in. Of course you were. We saw your music video right. Derek, you don't get bitches.

You don't know. Listen, man, you see the ankle cancles. You see them? You see the cuff? That's a good cuff too. You think I have cancals? No, you don't have cancals. You're too slim to have cancals, Rory.

But I came out the rolls. No, no, I see. No, I see. I was in the back of the back. You was in the front of the rolls. I get it. It had orange seats. I also have rules.

You know how much patent you got to do with a nigger with a culler hold on that long. He'd be patting for seven minutes.

Having a long-ass blazer on is pretty funny. He's supposed to be in Miami. It's fucking sick. Oh, you didn't see how, Roy. You look, test the arm and squeeze it. Easy. He's about to test the work. But you ain't see the knife game like that, though. You was about to test. It's weird that you want to skip over certain things. Would you see how quick I took that switchblade out? Was it open in your pocket?

No. I just got. This thing pulled an open knife out of his pocket. No, I'm just hand-to-hand. That's. You're about to test. the product? Yeah. That's hilarious. Testing a product, testing the orange is crazy. Switchblade game was crazy. I can't even believe you agreeing to do this. It's nasty. The nasty dog times. That's why I asked Moore how long it took him to agree. A very long time.

Because this took me a very long time to agree to. Like I said no while I was in the suit in the Rolls Royce. Like guys, I think we should find someone else. We should find some way else to do this. But you know, just give me the knife. I'll do it. Fuck it. Test the work. I didn't even get to test it. I just took the knife out. Now they're going to let Shorty test it. Yeah. With the Doberman.
