Happy Tuesday to our new listeners and our true listeners. We’re back after a fun-filled weekend. Demaris & Rory were outside engaging in grown up degeneracy - Freddie Gibbs and well curated cocktails, and planning for their vacation next week (5:37). Meanwhile, Playboi Carti was busy proving them wrong about his superstar status after his highly-anticipated album dropped over the weekend, breaking streaming numbers (26:22).

Meanwhile in R&B, Eric Bellinger has a bold claim - ‘Full Moon’ x Brandy is the greatest R&B album of all time (24:04).

We address the nonsense news headline that is ‘Beyonce is struggling to sell concert tickets’ before the team finds out an interesting fact about Demaris (39:22).

Doechii went on ‘Hot Ones’ with her DJ and caused quite a stir with one of her takes, and added insult to (Rory’s) injury when she got to stand on stage with Lauryn Hill.Gelo & GloRilla have dropped their long anticipated collab, and you already know how we feel about it.

This week has been super busy, and the gang has been outside! We quickly run through their week’s activities (sort of) and then get into Casey Anthony and her attempted OJ-esque rebrand (19:00) . Rappers are turning into actors at an alarming rate, so of course we have to give our top 5 of the greatest to touch both a pen and the big screen (29:10). Speaking of the greats, Jermaine Dupri set the internet on fire after posing a question about the purpose of being an indie artist over being signed to a major (38:48). We discuss why going indie was best for Rory personally - and later get a call from JD while giving him a chance to explain himself (1:15:50). This leads us into a conversation about just how much control record labels have in creating a superstar ; how Tyla might be the next one and if Playboi Carti is already one (47:35).

Today is a good day. Demaris dropped an egg, and J. Cole dropped new bars (11:33). Freddie Gibbs also dropped a not-so-cryptic message about Cole’s latest song, and we discuss what a battle between the two would look like (27:52). Rolling Stone is playing with our emotions, making a list of Worst Songs On Classic Albums, but we love a list so of course we had to add to it (44:40). We get into new music and new freestyles (1:03:03), then give our opinion on the backlash Reason received for his Bootleg Kev interview and what loyalty platforms owe to artists (1:13:03). We try to stop Demaris from getting murdered by a fan for Cowboy Carter tickets (1:24:00), and then plan out her funeral, just in case.

Now that he's safe we can finally laugh at the crazy circumstances. Megan Thee Stallion has released her new tequila brand, and we revisit our favorite (albeit, awful) liquor combinations throughout the years (31:08).

A $exy Pod 4 U. We?re back after a dry Valentine?s weekend, full of pain and disappointment (1:45). The guys do a quick recap of All-Star weekend (spoiler alert: it was dirt and it?s not all Gelo?s fault). Luckily, we had some new music to keep us entertained. First, Drake and PND owe us residuals - our text messages are in full display in the lyrics of $$$4U (25:01). We give our early review, and get into some lyrical breakdowns.

'WHO ARE YOU ANYWAY?' x Rory feat. LEON THOMAS is available NOW https://orcd.co/rorywaya

There's too much going on right now in Hip-Hop. First, DJ Khaled had a monkey wrench thrown in his album release just from one sarcastic comment from Drake on Instagram. Do you believe this album is getting back again? Cause we do (09:21). Our favorite urban outfitter (hahaha) Kith is releasing music now, and we give our take on it (28:50). By the time you're hearing this, I'm sure you've already downloaded Tweaker Remix with Lil Wayne. Of course our resident rap nerd HATES the idea of it, and his dismay gets us into our personal top 5 rappers (35:25). Speaking of our personal faves, Demaris is over the moon about Cardi B's new song with Pardison Fontaine (48:58). Of course the boys have to start talking like they're at the music label and ruin her joy. Rory tries to figure out the last time he heard a Lil Wayne album, while Tommy Richman proves to us that once you go black, you don't go back (1:00:30). Kanye confirmed some of suspicions about AI use with his next album - maybe Druski can catch him mid-rollout for his new reality show, 'Coulda Been Love' (1:13:45). We give our love to Irv Gotti (1:31:20), before getting into our latest voicemail submissions (1:38:16).

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).

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).

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).

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).

TGIF. Tiktok?s done, Elon ruined Twitter for everyone but Meek, and Rory found out some tough news about his queen (1:32). Then, we are informed mid recording that Gelo has heard what we have to say about his record (20:37). Eventually, we do have to speak about Drake?s official lawsuit and our feelings about what it?s doing to hip-hop (28:30). Spoiler alert - we agree to disagree. Jim Jones has a response for Cam (1:11:01), Queen Latifah is defying physics in the new Equalizer (1:20:11) and we have a caller interested on how we put that sh*T on (1:28:00).

Mal is on the last day of his juice cleanse, so he?s been hungry and on X Spaces antagonizing the listeners (2:51). Speaking of antagonizing, Cam?ron is back from hiatus, and goes off on Jim Jones (21:16). Mal and Rory are torn on who is right in this beef. Li?Angelo Ball is proving Mal wrong! Def Jam offered him a multi million dollar deal just off one single, yet Mal is still standing on him ruining music (43:05). Redman went celibate for 2.5 years, and we talk about using sexual energy to channel into other avenues (1:01:14). Rumors are swirling about the new Clipse album, and we put our two cents in on a possible Kendrick and Jay Z feature (1:16:50). Fivio is using the streamers for clout now, and not the other way around as he mentions Kai Cenat and Plaqueboi Max in his new single (1:32:55). Mal doesnt think it?ll work,  but we?ll see. We have voicemails, but trigger warning to the young man who called in about his viral video - Mal has nothing nice to say (1:42:55).

If Mal does nothing else, he?s going to catch a stray bar in a rap song. A west coast rapper has dissed our boy on a song intended as a response to Joey Bada$$, so we call our good friend Reason to have a conversation on why the West Coast won?t just take their win in peace. In the lane of more negativity, Harlem is at odds with each other? again (20:35). This time, Jim Jones is speaking on Cam?s interview with 50 cent and his relationship with Mase. Chris Blake Griffith (not the guy that won the dunk contest, I know - we almost made that mistake too) is insisting his texts to Drake are real, amidst claims that they are fake and he?s clout chasing (37:01). Lil? Tjay chewed out a streamer over what we think is common sense, leading to a conversation about smoking etiquette (50:38). Rubi Rose and Shenseea open up the floodgates after a comment about ?hoe phases? (1:00:08), and we have a sober caller who is stressed after a date with a drunk woman (1:20:51).

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). 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! The first is from a man who wants to go to Brazil against his wife's will (1:40:13), and the second is from a woman who has feelings about her cut of her parents will being less than her sisters (1:52:28).

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. The second voicemail is from a man who needs co-parenting/disciplinarian advice for him and his girl (2:10:02).

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.

MUSTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD. Have yall heard the album yet? We have. After a quick recap about the Atlanta show, the guys get into their review of the new Kendrick Lamar project ?GNX? (07:54). They also discuss whether there?s another album coming, why we think Baby Keem isnt on the album, as well as whether Lil Wayne should respond or not. In the middle of our recording day, the news dropped that Drake was filing a motion against his licensing partner Universal Music Group, alleging that Kendrick?s Not Like Us track was pushed by the label purposely to affect Drake in multiple ways (55:59). The team goes into explaining the article and allegations, and they also speak on what this could mean for the music industry in the future. Drake also went on a stream earlier this weekend, doubling down on his beef with a few r&b artists, and it brings up conversation about the media outlets Drake chooses to sit with and the criticism he?s received in the past for it (1:12:06). Also discussed: Shaboozey getting snubbed by the CMA?s (1:31:36), which NRM team member is the meanest, and the ozempic allegations being put on Lizzo (1:35:19). We have voicemails! The first one is from a guy who has developed a health condition in his mid twenties that he's embarrassed about (1:51:31), and the second is from a man who wants to know if anybody on the team has ever had a ?right person, wrong time? scenario (2:02:07).

A gang of chill guys (and girl) just podding. YKTV. The spirit of the latest meme has infected the team, and they are all delusionally convinced that they are the chillest on the team (1:23). Speaking of chill guys, did you know that the cool guys with 5 inches are now in (9:38)? Anywho, Jay Leno has found himself in quite a predicament, and the guys dig into their detective bags to try to figure out what reaally gave him that black eye (15:35). Jeff Stamos is trying to fool us with a wig cap, and Mal is confused why Denzel is trying to fool us by saying he kissed a man on set (26:18). Speaking of conspiracies, Rory wants to know why the red pill/tinfoil hat community has nothing to say about Elon or Kim Kardashian, and Mal doesn?t believe that Kai is actually sleeping on his stream (42:42). Meanwhile, J. Cole?s podcast dropped, and Rory has some complaints for the team, and also wants to nominate ?The Come Up? for a Best New Album grammy, which causes a debate about just how much the average fan knows about their favorite artist (54:06). We finally address the Grammy nominations (1:13:13), and then get into voicemails (1:25:25). The first one is from a man who wants to cheat on his girlfriend bc her libido had decreased, and the second is from a guy who wants to know how to handle a money situation that's tearing his family apart.

Gang is all back in town! After a long vacation filled with barefoot R&B synths and TMZ interviews, Rory is finally back at work. The team briefly catches up with him, before getting into a debate about the historic (snore, snore) fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson (6:12). They have some conversation regarding content creating and Netflix's next moves before finally addressing the fail that was Bill Burr's post-election monologue (29:33). When one journey begins, another one ends - J.Cole and his manager and lifelong friend are taking us on an audio journey through Cole's career (35:20), while the infamous Whoreible Decisions podcast has made an announcement that their show is coming to an end (47:46). Tyler The Creator's festival, Camp Flog Gnaw, was over the weekend, and the team discusses what festival fits their vibe the most (1:01:51). We also speak on Netflix not messing up a Beyonce Christmas due to low bandwidth, and its new live sport experience (1:07:29). Also discussed were the most overrated actors and standup comedians (Mal hates The Rock) (1:14:54). We have voicemails! The first one is from a guy who is bisexual and doesn't know how to tell his family (1:43:45), and the second is from a caller who Rory therapizes simply off the one question he asked about his mom and sister's family dynamic with him (1:56:30).

The minorities are back in charge! The gingerbread man is out of town on business so the YN?s (and an ON) are holding it down. Starting off with some light banter, after trying to defend Clay (from himself, per usual) and figuring out who is really in danger of these insane monkeys in the Carolinas, Julian poses a question to the room - which person would you remove off of social media permanently if given the choice (caveat - Meek Mill is not an available answer on the board) (13:11). We try to figure out the reason for people?s public emotional crash outs, and it leads to a conversation about friends having underlying feelings, and people having a hard time processing joy (16:47). Kehlani has been under heavy scrutiny due to a nasty custody battle with her child?s father - we go over the available evidence and give opinions on how co-parenting with the wrong person could ruin your life (49:15). SZA has a new album coming, and Mal shares a recent conversation he had with her (1:08:48). We have voicemails! One guy needs advice on how to handle his 'scaring-the-niceyoungwomen' friend (1:16:50) and leads to a convo about wanting to hear someones thoughts during intercourse, and the second is from a guy who discovered Jay Z later in life and is convinced he?s trash (1:29:24). Oh, and update - the Knicks still suck.
