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 (18:59)? 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 for him (35:59) . 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 (1:05:07). We have a voicemail! This one is from a man needing advice on whether his woman is for the streets, or for him (1:26:54). We are then joined by our friend Elliott Wilson for a conversation about the current state of media and entertainment (1:35:35). He bashes Cam’rons ‘It Is What It Is’ platform and others (1:42:38), 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 (2:25:50), + 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). Pray for us over the holidays, please.

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!

We’re back! 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.

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).

Happy Monday! We’re back in full force… well, some of us. Two of us are one bad pothole away from a horrific accident. Rory starts with a storytime about his weekend solo parenting (3:18), and then we get into the newest allegations (20:28). TW: S3xual Assault. 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. The UHC shooter has allegedly been caught… heavy on the ‘allegedly' (58:26). Anyway, its List SZN! Forbes kicks it off with their Top 50 Best Rappers of all time, and The New York Times has their Top songs of the year (1:07:12). We have voicemails! The first is from a guy who is in a codependent marriage and needs help gaining independence (1:40:45), the second is from a man who needs help with his relationship with his brother who had a hand in unaliving their mom (1:50:00).

Happy Friday Gang! The Apple Replays have dropped and the NRM team talks about what their lists are looking like (1:40). Soon after, they give honest opinions on the United Healthcare CEO that was killed in broad daylight in NYC, and what morning routine they would have before committing the same crime (14:00). Charlamagne had some comments about people defending Drake’s lawsuit (33:40), and Andrew Schultz had some words in response to a Kendrick Lamar bar (38:18). Nick Cannon addresses Orlando Brown’s comments about alleged fellatio between them, and since he was diagnosed as a narcissist, we try to see if there were any in the office (58:44). The trial for Daniel Penny (the ex marine who killed a man on NYC transit) is underway, and the guys wonder if they could ever be vigilantes (1:16:49). We have voicemails!

Happy Tuesday Gang! We're back from Thanksgiving break. After a quick recap about how Rory destroyed his skin barrier and Mal took a serious loss, we recap what we missed during our time off. Kai Cenat concluded his Mafiathon stream and we discuss some of the highlights, including Druski being mean to children, and Kai being pranked by a magician (27:47). Da Baby is under fire for teaching his daughter how to shoot a gun, and we speak on how different the outlook on guns is depending on the region of the USA you come from (40:21). We come back and give a more detailed opinion on the Drake petitions- Rory has his tinfoil du-rag on, coming in hot with a few conspiracy theories about Drake as well as Kendrick (42:18). After a brief debate about Beyonce v. Kendrick and the supposed numbers for their respective NFL show audiences (1:10:16), we discuss J. Cole celebrating his 10 year anniversary of the 2014 Forest Hill Drive album, and having a one night only concert at Madison Square Garden, with some interesting ways for fans to secure a ticket (1:28:09). We have voicemails! The first one is from a man asking our opinion on the biggest “fall off’s” from artists in rap (1:38:52), and we debate who our choices would be.

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday! We are on break, but we've decided to give you guys a previously Patreon-exclusive episode in the meantime.

Today is a special day. Today is the day the tables turn. Mal loses his cool and leans completely into his fanhood. The stars of his favorite show of all time ‘How To Make It In America’ come in to chat about the journey of becoming actors in NYC. They recap their journey with the show, and why it had to prematurely end. They share exclusive memories with filming with Kid Cudi and Pusha T before they became the stars they are now, as well as special times with Heath Ledger and Meryl Streep.
