Episode 334 | Fighting Irish

We’re back, fresh off of public transportation because who the f&!# is paying NYC congestion pricing?! In this economy?! After Rory gives us a brief recap of going out to twirl his cane for his frat’s founders day, we get into the controversy that’s been running the internet all weekend - Joy Taylor, Skip Bayless, and the lawsuit against FS1 (14:14). Some things we believe, some we don’t, and some we can’t seem to agree on. Liangelo Ball has a viral song on his hands, so if you’ve heard our Patreon episode from yesterday, it seems Rory ACTUALLY deserves some flowers this time (48:45). Speaking of viral songs, Drake is back in the headlines and back in (some of) our hearts after a planned leak of a song he had seemingly dissing Drake has surfaced online (55:40). The team gives their honest opinions, does a slight lyric breakdown, and has some theories on who else might have caught a stray. Unlike Drake, Kanye isn’t standing on business in his beef with Kai Cenat, which seems to have been solved with a post alluding to a rollout for a new project (1:22:50). Mal is standing on his assumption that it will be AI, and the team is split on whether AI will ruin music and whether Kanye will be the artist to spearhead that. Lil Baby’s album isn’t exactly garnering rave reviews - and the NRM cast is not here to disagree (1:38:00). Do you agree with them that this was Lil’ Baby’s last chance to dial up his relevancy again? Also discussed: a blatant post from Gunna’s lawyer claiming his innocence (1:53:15), a rapper/idiot almost shooting himself and a podcast team (1:58:20), two voicemails asking for our advice on instances where the women are putting the men to shame (2:05:04), + more!

First episode of the two-five! Mal starts off with hate so as you can see, nothing has changed. Speaking of hate, we accidentally pulled a Katt Williams and popped the year off with beef and controversy, with Elliott Wilson getting Cam and Mase to respond to his hate rant on our last episode (9:05). Mal and Rory stand 10 toes down on media personalities being just as qualified as journalists. We run through our NYE night (27:09), and then get into Joey Bada$$ and his claim as the heir to the King of NY throne, before setting up qualifications for what that role entails (31:39). On the note of kings, Lebron James celebrated his 40th going off to a Kendrick b-side, leading us to ponder which emotional b-side would we get into to make sure the party dies (56:05). We have prayers for the victims of the incidents that happened over the past few days (1:17:28), a voicemail from a potential step mother that sets Rory’s teeth on edge (1:21:42), and a belief that Demaris will end up a widow with a felon using her basement as his home (1:34:19).

Happy Last Day of 2024!! For the new year, Rory got botox, Mal’s considering a good beard dye, and Demaris is insisting upon catching new bodies come hell or high water. Christmas has passed, & Mal is actively avoiding accountability for his very wrong take on Beyonce’s halftime viewership, which also begets the question - why are people so determined to discredit the greats? Speaking of discrediting, Jack Harlow is speaking out in his latest freestyle, claiming to not be bothered about being overlooked as a truly good rapper in hip-hop, and we run through his career to figure out where he went wrong and what could be next in his career. By the way, did you know LIl Wayne had a sports agency? Travis Hunter apparently did, and is under heavy criticism for signing with the company, as well as for his choices in women. We have a voicemail! This one is from a man needing advice on whether his woman is for the streets, or for him. We are then joined by our friend Elliott Wilson for a conversation about the current state of media and entertainment. He bashes Cam’rons ‘It Is What It Is’ platform and others, insisting they are not real journalists and don't deserve the opportunities they get. He presses Mal about Drake, helps us decide which anthems from LA are worth getting up to two-step to, + more!

Merry Christmas Eve (and what’s up to all the other holidays, we’re inclusive over here). This is our last episode together before we split up for the holidays, and run home to visit old flings from high school to judge for how they fell off (2:32). The team has come together to discuss their year end lists, mainly because they absolutely refuse to discuss all of the other awful lists that have hit the internet this month (21:01). The Today Show listed the top pop culture moments of 2024, and we run through them and remember just how weird this year was (39:44). SZA has dropped the deluxe to her SOS album, called Lana, and the guys give their initial review, as well as how they feel about SZA leaving her SOS era (1:05:01). Shameik Moore is under fire for a questionable post that included a co-worker, while Mal tries to figure out the point of deleting your social media (1:26:50). We have a voicemail! Someone needs advice on how to tame the sexual deviance of a sibling, which leads us to have our own risky conversation regarding the ingestion of bodily fluids (1:40:45).

Happy Friday Gang! The crew is fresh off a week of bonding outings, going crazy at Madison Square Garden and the french restaurants. Julian and Demaris give a recap of their date at the J. Cole concert, including posing a question to the room of which of the big 3 have the finest female fans. Rory and the crew are insistent on claiming Cole as a NY rapper, while Mal isn’t having it and explains why. SZA is dropping a new album today, and Rory gives his opinion on dropping a “deluxe” to an album that was released two years ago. Speaking of the past popping up in the present, Lil’ Wayne and Chris Brown are among many celebrities to be named by Business Insider for misusing covid relief funds. We explain the accusations and talk about what could possibly come from this. Lil’ Baby makes his stance clear on working with Gunna again, and Chance the Rapper celebrates his freedom. The Yankees players have picked up a player that is eskimo brothers with another player - and the boys think it might be detrimental to the team. We have voicemails! The first one is from a woman who needs help after losing a relationship with a “friend”. The second is from a woman who had a terrible experience with a business - forcing us to call the business and stand ten toes down for our listeners!

Over the weekend Rory & Mal had their show in NYC, packed out with listeners and supporters… and some bold haters too. Mal & Rory share a moment they had during meet and greet that tested Mal’s maturity. Julian and Demaris are just bursting at the seams about the J Cole show that they were on their way to, and Mal is still making fun if them and him about the events post beef. Jay-Z’s accuser comes forward to defend the inaccuracies in her story about the alleged assault, and the team doubles down on the story never making sense to them. Cardi B exposed some text messages from ex-beloved offset making pleas to engage sexually with her again, and the gang makes fun of being down bad over a woman. Trina helped Billboard and Tres Genaraciones come up with the 10 Get Up Anthems from Miami artists, and the guys challenge her list. Rory walks back his take on the new Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre album, and recommends it to Mal and the listeners. CookingWithKya has the young internet in an uproar, but luckily for the haters Tiktok wont be around for much longer, so whats next for the creators that have made that their home? We make predictions. Chris Rock had a monologue on SNL where he address Luigi killing the UHC CEO, if you havent heard it go check it ouT. Finally, we have voicemails. The first is from a woman who thinks her boyfriend may be DL… we confirm that for her. The second is a gentleman asking about the least attractive accents on women, and which Biggie features are the best. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Happy Friday Gang! Rory insists on giving us an update on his sickness (and in addition, how his Karma is Beautiful), and the rest of us try to rationalize why Julian insists on going to a barber that hates him (2:33). This leads to a conversation on what names we would have if we race swapped, causing Rory to remember how he was endangered the other day being pulled over by a cop in Manhattan, as the straight white male he is (15:25). As we were recording this, there was absolute turmoil happening on the hip-hop timeline, as our selected representatives for black love, Remy Ma and Papoose, were feuding and airing dirty laundry for the world to see (35:50). Speaking of dirty laundry, mattress actress Lily Philips is under scrutiny for clips of her admitting to having difficulty with her self-inflicted feat of sleeping with over 100 men in under 24 hours, and the team is split on whether she had the right to stop after number 30 or not (52:41). Jamie Foxx’s new special ‘What Had Happened Was’ aired this week on Netflix to mixed reviews, and the team gives their opinion on whether it was entertaining or not (1:18:31). Caitlin Clark was named Time magazine's Athlete of the Year - did she deserve it (1:37:00)? And why are her supporters kicking her back in for the statement she made in the interview? Bill Belicheck is back in the game, and the guys break it down in to 'girl terms' for Demaris (1:45:27). We have voicemails (1:50:10)! Both are follow ups from previous callers, the first being with the guy who needed advice on how to break the co-dependency from his wife. This leads to a conversation about which NRM member will be the next to have children (or possibly, become a murderer, depends). The second voicemail is from a woman who believed her mother is lying about her biological father (2:03:45). We end the episode with predictions on who will headline the final Dreamville fest this spring, as well as some interesting predictions about Jay-Z and Beyonce’s career paths moving forward (2:10:19).

Jay-Z has been accused of SA’ing a 13 year old girl in 2000 alongside Diddy. We address the info that has come out, and give our honest take on it.
