We've been on our bullsh*t since we've last got on the mic, but we weren't getting caught cheating at a Coldplay concert. The situation had Mal remembering when he ran into a girl he was dating at a Lakers game...with another man (18:39). Rory wonders if Nicki Minaj is self aware enough to realize she's looking unhinged right now (42:13). Demaris resonates with "Backup Plan" and Giveon's new album "BELOVED" (59:26). The sports world can't take a joke as Shane Gillis kills it at the ESPY's (1:15:22). Plus, Joyner clapping back at Skepta has Rory feeling patriotic (1:22:34), and we have a voicemail that might need more context in the "Zoom Zoom Room (1:36:53)" #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

85 South checks in with Rory & Mal to reminisce about their time on Wildin' Out, how they really felt about Rick Ross leaving their show early, and poke fun at Rory's tenure attending a "black computer" school #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back fresh off one of the better weekends for music in 2025. Rory and Mal stamp Clipse's "Let God Sort 'Em Out" one of the best albums of the year...even if there is one thing Mal would change (14:40). Rory has high praise for Justin Bieber's latest project "Swag" despite having one of the worst album names of all-time (35:30). Mal had FOMO watching Drake pull out all the stops for Wireless Fest (43:45). Las Vegas looks to adopt "Uno" as a new casino game which has Demaris wondering what rules will the house play by (58:22). Plus, that really was Klay Thompson in the background of Megan Thee Stallion's IG post (1:20:30), Bleacher Report's 100 Greatest NBA Players list lost their minds leaving Kobe out the Top 10 (1:25:35), and our voicemail sparks the "Who is allowed to say the 'n word' and when?" debate.

This week on New Rory & Mal we give our take on Drake's new single "What Did I Miss?", decode Nicki Minaj's Twitter crashout about Jay-Z and Meg Thee Stallion, clown Skepta for thinking the UK has a shot at beating the USA in a rap battle, and shame SeaWorld for being culture vultures #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After debating if we would date a partner who has a dead ex (9:48), Mal airs out Love Island for being trash (14:33). Then, we go further off the rails taking issue with SeaWorld using hip-hop to become culture vultures (41:04). While we figure out if Nicki Minaj has a point about Jay-Z (47:30), Rory tries to do the math on Scott Storch blowing $100M on just partying (57:08). Plus, Demaris thinks "John Q' is a "black" movie (1:12:00), and we get disrespectful after our voicemail (1:32:00) #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a Thursday Check-In, and today we got friend of the show and legendary Producer Jermaine Dupri on the pod. Jermaine tells us what to expect from the Magic City documentary and soundtrack, Rory pits Jermaine and Mal against each other in a game of "Vegan Dish, Song Title, or Both", and Rory and Mal make Jermaine choose between his hit records. #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The holiday weekend is over and we got a lot to talk about. Iceman dropped a bomb with "What Did I Miss?, and for the most part we were feelin' it (13:11). JID got a verse from Eminem and said "nah"...not sure if anyone has done that before (30:15). Rory & Mal think Skepta really doesn't want this smoke from the USA (44:58). A bunch of losers got together outside the courthouse to support Diddy for clout (51:15). Plus, Mal was right about his Cardi B-Stefon Diggs prediction (58:14), Demaris is curious if Carnival's new rules are anti-black (67:23), and our voicemail segment has us tellin' a few hard truths to our callers (73:00) #volume *TIMESTAMPS MAY VARY DUE TO ADVERTISEMENTS See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week of New Rory & Mal, we debate whether Nas and Jay-Z's corporate ventures benefit the neighborhoods they come from, play "Bars or Yelp" with Nick Grant, and decide if it's weird to go all-in on pregnancy pacts #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy 4th of July, America. We gotta special episode for you. After discussing 4th of July plans, we take a US Citizen Test to see if we're valid Americans, and react to The Ying Yang Twins getting a gig at SeaWorld. Finally, we got Kansas City legend Tech N9ne in studio to talk making it is an independent artist, and his recent album, "5816 Forest". See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
