Rory has a challenge for Demaris and Mal- write a few bars to go on the tail end of his single releasing this week. We’ll see if they’re up to the challenge. His daughter's birthday party was this weekend (08:23), and we get a quick recap of the debauchery before going into our Grammys coverage (24:11). We cover AP’s disrespect of Babyface (41:40) , Doechii’s (unexpected?) win (49:50), Beyonce’s actual unexpected win (1:00:05), + more. TDE is under fire for a recent S.A. lawsuit filed by two former employees, and we give a brief update on the accusations as well as why we not be the right podcast to cover it (1:19:17). We also cover Kai Cenat pressing Elliott Wilson (and Mal pressing Elliott?) (1:33:20), the Luka / AD trade (1:40:34), our first entry from the voicemail challenge (1:58:20), + more.

Episode 341 | The Ugly Doppelgänger
Rory’s new album is coming guys! He gives us an update on the timing of the first single. A friend of the show was caught in a crazy scam, and Rory tells the funny story of when he met her (4:00). BTW, what doppelgangers do you think the staff have (10:42)? In our convo about who looks like who, Mal shares fears of discovering a child he never knew existed, giving us (and his potential baby mother) very little hope on his fatherhood potential (29:23). Meanwhile, Rihanna’s baby daddy A$AP Rocky is fighting his case and we give our input on how we would’ve handled such accusations (43:00). Demaris shares her soft launch strategy when asked, and Rory and Mal get her opinion on the times they were soft launched without permission (1:02:00). We get into music; The Dream is dropping his first album in a decade (1:20:29), Kanye has an interview coming up (1:26:24), & Alicia Keys is under fire once again (1:36:17). Also discussed: A voicemail about classic vixens who were before our time (1:38:00), Logan/Jake Paul and fighting siblings (1:50:28), Bronny James 0 PT game (1:58:06) + more!

Episode 340 | Fat, Juicy, & Trash
Bruno Mars has to have stolen one of Rory’s women before. There’s no way this vitriol is unwarranted. Now that Demaris is back, Rory can dance with glee at Bruno’s attempted West Coast culture vulture venture, with the missed mark that was ‘Fat, Juicy, and Wet’ (2:30). Instead of blasting that over the weekend, Rory went on our Discord and played his new album for the loyal listeners (26:38). Make sure you are subscribed to our Patreon for the ability to get video same day with NO ADS, and join in on the voicemail Valentine's Day challenge for the chance to win a date with one of the cast members. Mal is requesting his flowers for his takes on Uber drivers and Instacart drivers now that he has Demaris here to back him up (38:30), and also comments on the increase in popularity of spaces on Twitter/X (51:10). We then share all the new music we listened to over the weekend, including a new album from Teddy Swims and Central Cee (57:25). Also discussed - Rory’s bench press game+ gym etiquette (1:11:26), our SuperBowl spread (1:41:30), and a voicemail that has us picking favorites… again (1:50:30).

Episode 339 | Fenty Felons
First off, Baby D is out due to a family emergency. Please send nothing but love and prayers her way. But, let’s get into it. Fires are still burning through Southern California, and the city of Los Angeles wants to make sure their firefighters are appreciated by treating them to the soothing vocals of John Legend (2:23). To make matters worse, these men are incarcerated. They could’ve at least been treated to Sexxy Red (13:17). Speaking of which, Sexxy Red and Bruno Mars are dropping a new strip club anthem today (22:50). Once Demaris gets back, Rory has a few takes about Bruno he wants to debate her on. Then, we touch on the news that A$AP Rocky will not take a plea deal and will go to trial for gun charges (43:11). If he gets put behind bars, the whole C-Block better be using Rihanna’s “Fenty” line. We then get interrupted with breaking news about Kendrick Lamar’s announcement that SZA will be joining him for the Super Bowl Halftime Show (I promise this segment went fine) (57:10). We also discuss Mal’s idea to Uber to keep women safe (34:30), a wild piece of Mississippi legislation (53:00), and what Beyonce’s announcement could be about (1:16:50).

Episode 338 | Failed Fathers
Rory is still terrifying the hoes, but this time they scared him back when they informed him of his ‘Unc’ status (2:09). Somehow, this leads us to learn an unfortunate fact about Mal - he’s cool with kissing his play cousin as long as she's bad enough, and totally okay with Rory fucking after his funeral (26:08). But let’s get to it - Dave Chappelle brought us into the Trump era with some jokes (47:19). Nelly & Soulja Boy are under fire for their performances at inauguration weekend, but we don’t think they should be cancelled for it (51:50). We take a second to check in on Demaris’ parents while she doubles down on her take (1:10:53), before getting into TikTok’s temporary ban and how our President had a hand in it (1:19:39). Liangelo Ball is under fire for his first performance, and it forces the team to give Mal his flowers (1:48:27). While we’re recording Joey Bada$$ drops his new song, ‘Sorry Not Sorry’, and we give our live reaction, while debating where his shots were aimed (1:54:24). We also discuss Mac Miller’s posthumous album making Rory cry (2:11:34), Method Man (allegedly) putting hands on his daughter's ex (2:35:14), our Superbowl predictions (2:39:38), + more!
