Top of the top! Mal was outside this weekend, and tells his story of why that is such a rare occurrence. Lebron James wanted SMOKE over his legacy - and we discuss whether he was in the right or not, as well as what our boundaries are when it comes to critiques of our loved ones. 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 droppe...
Mar 11, 2025•2 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 ...

Mar 04, 2025•2 hr 51 min•Transcript available on Metacast It's never a bad idea to bring a Twitter debate onto the pod. We discuss if $30 for lunch on Valentine's Day is "low effort". The Stud Steppers dance dedicated to Brittney Griner has resurfaced on social media, and it has Rory remembering when King Bach went full SJW on YouTube. Plus, what would Demaris do (or won't do) to get Mal out of a Russian prison, and why isn't Gen Z hooked on drugs like everybody else? #volume See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

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 ...
Feb 25, 2025•2 hr 55 min•Transcript available on Metacast TGIF! I know you guys are as happy to hear from us as New Edition was at their latest meet and greet. But no one on earth is happier than A$AP Rocky, who got to go home to Rihanna and the rest of his family after winning his recent trial (14:22). 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). Speaking of the non-crumbling Roc N...

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. After we’re done simpin’, we get in the kitchen and get to cookin...

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 i...
Jan 31, 2025•2 hr 58 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 ...
Jan 28, 2025•2 hr 4 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 stri...
Jan 24, 2025•2 hr 46 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 ...
Jan 21, 2025•3 hr 48 min•Transcript available on Metacast TGIF. Tiktok’s done, Elon ruined Twitter for everyone but Meek, and Rory found out some tough news about his queen (1:32).

Jan 17, 2025•2 hr 40 min•Transcript available on Metacast Make sure you guys subscribe to the patreon to hear us attempt to out rizz each other. 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 (4...
Jan 14, 2025•2 hr 4 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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$$, so we call our good friend Reason to have a conversation on why the West Coast won’t just take their win in peace. In the lane of more negativity, Harlem is at odds with each other… again (20:35). This time, Jim Jones is speaking on Cam’s interview with 50 cent and his relationship with Mase. Chris Blake Griffith (not the guy that won th...
Jan 10, 2025•2 hr 49 min•Transcript available on Metacast We’re back, fresh off of public transportation because who the f&!# is paying NYC congestion pricing?! In this economy?! After Rory gives us a brief recap of going out to twirl his cane for his frat’s founders day, we get into the controversy that’s been running the internet all weekend - Joy Taylor, Skip Bayless, and the lawsuit against FS1 (14:14). Some things we believe, some we don’t, and some we can’t seem to agree on. Liangelo Ball has a viral song on his hands, so if you’ve heard our ...
Jan 07, 2025•3 hr 50 min•Transcript available on Metacast First episode of the two-five! Mal starts off with hate so as you can see, nothing has changed. Speaking of hate, we accidentally pulled a Katt Williams and popped the year off with beef and controversy, with Elliott Wilson getting Cam and Mase to respond to his hate rant on our last episode (9:05). Mal and Rory stand 10 toes down on media personalities being just as qualified as journalists. We run through our NYE night (27:09), and then get into Joey Bada$$ and his claim as the heir to the Kin...
Jan 03, 2025•2 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast 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 bein...

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...
