Julian interrupted our pre-production meeting about threesomes and other important things to get our live reaction of making Complex's 2024 Hip Hop Media Power Ranking List, coming in at a whopping number 13 out of 25. We go through the list and read the nice words written about us, and reminisce on that got us...

JK, we're washed and did nothing, but we're going to tell you about it anyway. Rory was forced to socialize with people at a birthday party and in the steam room (09:38) so, if course, he was in hell. We get into a conversation about stealing and Mal shares a story with us about the first time he was involved in fraud (14:02). Demaris was...

We’re back after a brief hiatus! We know you missed us, so we came back ready to talk about all of the events that transpired during our absence. We start off catching up with each other on the past week, with Julian letting us know what his wedding swag was (5:06). Mal lets us know that white people are in Harlem kissing the feet of black Israelites (12:20), and tells us about his experience in honoring the life of a late friend of the show . The BET awards happened, and Mal was extremely...

We have a quick debate about...

This was a long and fun-filled week but we start the episode off with the biggest event - Kendrick Lamar popping out in LA at The Forum. We streamed the event with our Patreon members on Discord, so if you're gang, you saw initial reactions in real time. If you didn't, Rory & Mal recap what they honestly thought of the show. They get into...

This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at https://betterhelp.com/rorymal and get on your way to being your best self. Today we are joined by Chris Distefano a.k.a. Chrissy Chaos. We get right to it and cover European rac*sm and how straight people are over . Then Chris chooses Peeje (the man behind the camera and legendary thumbnails) and roasts him over his genetic makeup (10:30). We cover Chris & Rory’s Father’s Day celebrations (14:50). The WNBA is back in...

Demaris gives Mal yet another reason to go to therapy when he discovers that she took another man on their planned date to see Bad Boys 4 (5:02). Meanwhile, he was at the Nick Grant show alone and ran into Punch from TDE (15:00). The team is in awe that he lived to tell the tale. Rory gives us an update on how sleep training...

Sign up for a $1 per month trial period at https://shopify.com/rorymal The team is back after a tantalizing weekend. Rory shares a story of how he got "scammed" , and the team (non-parents) tries to give Rory (the first time parent) advice on how to put a clingy kid down. Unfortunately, Rory is not the only team member running on fumes. Demaris admits she is suffering from a hangover and she shares her weekend expedition (11:54). After the weekend recap, we discover that James Harden...

Yes, they actually like the song. No, we’re not kidding. Drake dropped a troll cover of the classic 'Hey There, Delilah' and the internet reacts. Is this strategy working for him? Julian thinks so. Kendrick will be celebrating Juneteenth with a show in LA, we speculate who the “+friends” could be, and what...

We update you on where it...

Happy Friday everyone! We start with great news. Amara got her cast removed as Rory feverishly watched the doctor use a cast saw. We also learn that Rory’s mom tried to baptize Amara. Anyway, someone that’s probably headed the religious route, Diddy is back in headlines after an in depth Rolling Stone...

Mal’s hero has returned home. Trump spent a few hours in the Bronx using rappers to spread his campaign message. Over the weekend Rory & Julian went on a man date to a jazz show (16:03). Rory met his hero and became a fly on the wall. Meanwhile Mal & Omar Epps we’re talking about Michael Jackson (33:38) What is Michael’s best album? Let us know your pick. Welp, Drake made his return. BBL Drizzy went full...BBL Drizzy. Was this a good move (46:00)? The beef was still active over the...

Well there’s another list. This time Apple Music put out the top 100 albums ever. There’s one album in particular that has Mal up in arms (19:27). We also get into the particulars of other albums on the list. Rory realizes his terror stare in real time after rewatching the Chris Rock clip. Then we discuss Cassie’s statement after the Diddy footage (48:30). While our guys declined a primetime news slot, Cam’ron took the opportunity to go on CNN (55:25). We have mixed feelings about his...

Well the tide has turned and it’s finally time for Rory to get cooked for a bad take. On our latest Patreon Rory vehemently said Chris Rock isn’t an A-List celebrity. All of us, including Clay, went at him (join our patreon to participate in that debate https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmal). Mal has been searching his name and checking out comments made about his rap battle commentary. Make sure you all keep that same energy when you see him. Mal also thinks a man was in love with him, and...

Today we’re joined by the star of ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 6, Clay. We start with his signature toast and get right into the mess. After a brief recap of the sickest moments of the show & Clay’s red flags we get into his latest scandal…a “relationship” with Celina Powell (13:55). We discussed the TikToks she posted and the message from Clay’s mom. Then we get in our therapy bag and try to unpack this root of this relationship trauma, as well as how difficult it’s been to adjust to being...

Rory wants to start with inter-ginger hate. He’s here to say (for the 4th time) that the clock is back on for Ice Spice. Her redundant lyrics led us to discover her fetish (04:30). Last week Julian & Demaris had a night out and revisit the ‘song of the summer’ conversation. Meanwhile poor baby Amara broke her leg (12:54). In rap beef news, Drake fled to Turks (waved the white flag *Julian wrote this* ) and Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” hits #1 on Billboard (24:34). As we wait for the music...

This feels like the fastest 48 hours we’ve ever had. All of our phones have been blowing up, but no one more than OVO Mal. We ask Mal if he feels differently about the beef following the response he received. We get into the dangers of the allegations that have come to the forefront of this conflict, SA & DV. We speculate who will drop next and why (33:00). Then we get into the antics that have happened off the microphone- multiple shootings and a label conspiracy (42:01). We predict more...

We always seem to go on vacation at the most ideal time. I’d say we’re well rested, but we’re not. Like many of you we were refreshing our timelines and analyzing each diss record in real time. Over break we didn’t jump on a call or really discuss anything that happened. This is the first conversation we’ve had as a team. We came into the studio with our own opinions, which we hope you’ve formed as well at this point. An opinion not shaped by a twitter feed or reddit thread. There are no...

THIS EPISODE WAS PREVIOUSLY RECORDED…Long before Kendrick dropped. Our Ginger King turns 34 this week. He’s getting lost in Mexico which means this episode is previously recorded. We talk about the gender differences between men & women’s birthdays. This turns into a discussion about when you “officially” become an adult. We cover Mal’s 34th birthday and the team's favorite bday memories. Somehow this leads to us talking about women getting intimate with a horse (29:40). Julian introduces...

We’re in the heart of Taurus season and Rory deserves a birthday month or at least a present. None of which will happen. Would you let your girl have a man cook for her in her house? Well Rory has and as expected Mal doesn’t approve. Mal gives us a workout update and reminds us how insane it is to be a professional athlete - all steroids welcomed (11:34). In local news, Eric Adams has an episode coming with Drink Champs (15:00). Julian passed an unalive body the other day, just proof that NYC...

Roc Nation’s days are numbered…unless we have something to say about it. Megan Thee Stallion is back in the headlines and unfortunately not for a great reason. Her former photographer is outing her for missed payments & a “toxic” work environment. Mal goes on to tell us how that’s his ideal environment. This leads to finding out Mal & Julian’s dad have a lot in common, black magic (negro magico) (26:45). This becomes the theme of the episode. Meanwhile Ne-Yo, who dresses like a black...

Everyone in? Good. The ride continues. On Saturday Drake released “Taylor Made Freestyle” ft. Tupac & Snoop Dogg (AI voices). Is AI good? Was this appreciation or appropriation? Does this second release change Kendrick’s release schedule? We provide speculative answers to all these new questions (10:43). During this discussion Rory also offers an apology to J Cole (27:34). Rory also believes that Taylor Swift is the person we believe Drake to be (35:15). Well none of us wanted this to...

Looks like we’re getting more than we initially thought. Before we get into that…it’s been a long 48 hours. We breakdown how we’ve spent our time waiting for Kendrick’s response. We cover Mal’s liked tweets, middle school clothing, and climate change in Dubai. Mal shares with us some news about an upcoming Kendrick album (21:57). Is the boogeyman coming? We speculate over the AI Kendrick diss and the other one that was never confirmed or denied. We discuss the IG Story shots Drake & Rick...

Hip Hop is back! Let’s enjoy this while it lasts. We have a rolling start as Mal dances his way into frame and continues to dance in his seat to Drake’s “Push Ups”. We don’t waste any time and get right into both Rick Ross & Drake’s diss records. We do a lyric breakdown and pick our favorite moments from Drake’s response. We have mixed reviews on Rick Ross’s song/trolling. Where are the nukes? We speculate what breaking news could bring the 6 God down (52:26) . We address the Yachty...
