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.For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Demaris: https://linktr.ee/demarisg To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don’t forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.

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!For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Demaris: https://linktr.ee/demarisg To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don’t forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.

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). Learn more about your ad choices.

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).For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Demaris: https://linktr.ee/demarisg To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don’t forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.

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!For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Demaris: https://linktr.ee/demarisg To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don’t forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.

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).For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Demaris on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@DemarisG To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don’t forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.

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 (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).This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

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).This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

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!For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Demaris on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@DemarisG To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don’t forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.

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).
