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).
