We hope all of our mom listeners had a wonderful Mother’s Day! Now let's get to what happens when your kid doesn’t listen. Ja Morant is doing his best to ruin his career. We react to his second suspension. Meanwhile, Lil Durk is doing his best to escape a lifestyle that Ja seems to be running towards. J Cole has a line that sparks a conversation about rappers that passed. We then discuss the difficulty of bringing people up with you. Speaking of uplifting people, Lil Wayne left a show because of how people were treating his new artists. In good news, Jamie Foxx is in good health despite what many outlets were publishing. We’re back with our second installment of voicemails and these are some good ones.

Episode 167 | We Create The Simulation
Happy Friday…now give us our flowers. Recently we’ve been predicting a lot in the culture and to no surprise the streak continues. Mal was right about Kanye and Adidas coming together, while Julian predicted Tucker Carlson’s next career move. Meanwhile, Tory Lanez was denied a new trial. Staying in music (kind of) does Jay Z have an unclaimed son? Speaking of sons, Robert De Niro at the young age of 79 is having another child…this leads to a wild one-liner from Demaris. We react to Doja Cat’s recent tweets and give props to the Knicks for fighting for another game. Stay till the end as we introduce our new VOICEMAIL segment.

Episode 166 | Cardi vs Mal, Rory vs White Rappers
We’re back from our BRAND NEW STUDIO! Everyone, including Baisely, has a mic stand. We figured Rory deserved his house back so we agreed to surprise him for his birthday. Admittedly this was a big weekend for the team. Not only did we get a new studio, but Demaris is now Cardi B’s family. We react to the clip from Cardi’s IG Live of her shouting out Demaris for support. Cardi also has some words directed at Mal. The beef continues (pause) but with the whites. MGK responds to Jack Harlow and Rory is forced to choose a side. Chris Brown and Usher allegedly had an altercation over the weekend in Vegas, while Diddy and Jermaine Dupree may have agreed to terms for a Verzuz. We discuss A.I. technology and how much we would hate the A.I. versions of ourselves. Spreadie Gibbs was the best thing trending over the weekend. We react to that interesting situation. We end with music and discuss Ed’s big win for the whites, Armani White’s album, and Conway’s album. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as the NBA playoffs. Are the Knicks a lost cause? And will Anthony Davis stay healthy? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 165 | Rory & MAL Take The Met Gala
First things first…everyone go wish Rory a.k.a. The Ginger King, Roaring Ror’s, Young Train Conductor, one third of the Chew Live Crew, and the son of Jake, a happy May the 4th be with you/birthday. NY had a big week with the Met Gala so we took it upon ourselves to review the cat-themed fits. Somehow this turned into us reminiscing on our favorite old cartoons. We come back to current events and discuss the writer's strike, Roy Woods Jr. White House Correspondent speech and Ed Sheeran’s bold move if he doesn’t win. Staying on lawsuits, Frank Ocean is not happy with one fan in particular. Meanwhile, Brent Faiyaz inks a big pay day. Demaris claims Ice Spice has no talent which leads to a debate. What is an instant classic? Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, J Cole’s Finsta?, Billy McFarland vs. Ja Rule boxing match, Smokey Robinson and Diana Ross, and an update on the NBA Playoffs + more!

Episode 164 | Ed Sheeran vs. Marvin Gaye: Let’s Get It On
It's big Taurus season. Last week we celebrated Baisley’s b-day and this Friday we’ll celebrate Rory turning the year Jesus died/Larry Bird year. Rory doesn’t know it yet, but we have a surprise party planned for him (it’s okay, he doesn’t read the descriptions). Anyway, Mal was bumping knees court-side with Jack Harlow at the Knicks game. Sadly, only Jack was fortunate enough to have Kyle Lowry jump on his lap. Let’s stay on Jack (pause) we give our review of his album and then discuss him self-proclaiming as the “hardest whiteboy in rap.” Mal reverts back to last week’s episode and calls Rory out for his Doja/J Cole take. In other music news, Ed Sheeran is facing a lawsuit against Marvin Gaye’s estate. Meanwhile false rumors about Coi Leray and Latto surface over the weekend from the Something in The Water Festival. This leads to a heated discussion about Cardi B and her Grammy win / her career as an artist. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, DaBaby remaining canceled, the NBA Playoffs (we rank our top 5) + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 163 | Do Doja Cat & Jack Harlow Know Their Audience?
Happy Friday to all you ghetto superstars. We start by discussing the deeper, darker criminal link between The Fugees and our government. Staying on music, we speculate why Jack Harlow is deciding to put an album out now with no promo. This leads to a deeper discussion about Doja Cat’s speculative rap album. While they figure out how to shape their careers, Kendrick is in full stride after grossing the highest rap tour. Then we put our conspiracy cap on after Tucker Carlson’s response video. Is he still working with Fox? In sad news we lost a daytime tv legend, Jerry Springer. We reminisce on some of the craziest moments in his show’s history. Like setting up the KKK to get in a fight. Speaking of a set up, Vlad has a new show with Compton Cops and Rory offers an interesting take. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, Emmett Till’s accuser finally taking a dirt nap, the Knicks advancing to the second round, + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 162 | The Fired Broadcast with Tucker Carlson & Don Lemon
Well it’s the beginning of the week, and this podcast is now your only source for accurate news after both Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson have been fired. Over the weekend Demaris had a non-vip concert experience with a bumpy bathroom experience. Speaking of bumps, we react to Usher saying he’d do a Super Bowl Halftime show. Weekend 2 at Coachella has finally come to a close (sans Frank) and Latto used her performance to address some beef. Staying on beef, Jim Jones continues to pester Pusha T in a recent interview which prompts a subtle response from Pusha. We continue to reminisce about past beef which moves Rory (pause). Julian drops another random celebrity interaction, while 11-year-old Rory annoyed Benzino at a Miami Heat game. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as the Knicks moving one game closer to the second round, Tank vs. Ryan Garcia, + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 161 | The End Of Frank Ocean?
Happy Friday! We’re back for a tumultuous episode as we head into the weekend. Out the gate we press Demaris about why women get to steal every holiday. We find out how Mal would fare as a step-dad (it’s not good). We’re back to giving Frank Ocean his flowers as the new CEO of the Bare Minumum Boys Club (BMF). While Frank was disappointing his fans, Chance The Rapper was upsetting his household. Did he have a hall pass in Jamaica for Carnival? Mal reacts to Lil Uzi’s alter ego, Leslie (that’s not hip-hop). Meanwhile, we continue to see Jonathan Majors' career spiral towards Tubi. Mal introduces an interesting conspiracy regarding the Ralph Yarl shooting and Shaun King’s involvement. Rory warns of a satellite crashing into Earth (if you’re reading this congrats you dodged the debris). Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as Bud Light's revenue loss (cue Rory and Julian’s redneck voices), a deep analysis of an odd dream Demaris had, why we should encourage the death penalty, + more!

Episode 160 | Rory is Drake’s Munch
We apologize in advance for Rory’s behavior throughout this episode. We start by supporting the union of Nicki and Ice Spice, but also predict how long it’ll last. This past Sunday, Rory, Mal, and Julian went to the Apollo to see Lil Wayne. Rather quickly we learned that Mal really isn’t a Wayne fan (argument ensues). In other disappointing concert news, Frank Ocean left everyone at Coachella upset after many technical problems and turning his set into karaoke. Speaking of karaoke, is it hip-hop for Usher to give 21 Savage a mic to sing? Even worse, is it hip-hop for Rory to DM Drake laughing emojis and never get a response? Friendships tend to come to a close which is also the case for Ja Rule and Billy McFarland. Did you hear about the woman that claimed to have hooked up with 6 guys a day for a week? This leads into a conversation about the double standard between men and women and of course high school bleachers get involved. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, $200k in dimes getting stolen, Netflix’s ‘Beef’, Knicks/Lakers playoff wins, + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 159 | Who Keeps Booking A$AP Rocky?
Happy Friday to everyone that joined the Bare Minumum Club. Today is the last day the shirts will be available. Get yours before the sale ends! Now let’s talk about Coachella. Who keeps booking A$AP Rocky as a headliner? Let’s stay on music and discuss the new albums from Daniel Caesar & Rae Sremmurd. Is Daniel Caesar still canceled and why’d he call out Rory like that? and the Dalai Lama still on the loose? Speaking of tongue sucking, Nick Cannon says he should have his next child with Taylor Swift. Since the simulation seems to be simulating let’s talk about how men are getting fake abs (even some of your favorite artists). Meanwhile, Woah Vicky calls out Lil Nas X for faking his sexuality (the irony). *Trigger Warning* we discuss how a man was moved to commit suicide after chatting with an AI bot. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, the downfall of CNN+, Justin Timberlake making black people music again, new shows to watch, + more! Learn more about your ad choices.
