Episode 139 | The Minority Report
It’s our first episode of Black History Month so naturally we told Rory to sit this one out. He’s on desk duty. We begin with Eddin at the Apollo and Rory/Julian seeing Louis CK sell out all 18,000 seats at MSG (Cosby is next), who’s also the subject of today’s Same Night / Same City. What would you do to see your favorite performers? Well Amber Rose has a solution. Meanwhile, Latto is selling used underwear. Mal shares a confession and Julian shares another bad “break up” story. Speaking of better endings, the guys discuss which artist they wish had a different career trajectory. Then we review the new Lil Yachty album and breakdown Smokey Robinson’s track list for ‘Gasm’. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, why Demaris is going to have a shooter for a son and why Mal’s uncle stopped robbing people + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 138 | Spoiled Beats & Next-Gen Rappers ft. Don Cannon
The the…the Cannon. On today’s episode we’re joined by one of the most iconic producers/music executives in the industry, Don Cannon. If you’re not familiar with DJ Cannon he helped create the sound of the mixtape era. Currently, he is the CEO of the extremely successful Generation Now and co-founder of the TmrO app. First, Cannon takes us through his early years in the studio from bumping into Kanye and playing basketball with Kobe. Eventually Cannon met DJ Drama and that’s where the mixtapes began. Cannon shares stories from the ‘Trap or Die’ sessions and eventually shares how his resurgence has led to labels requesting “Uzi type beats” or another “First Class”. The guys then all share a moment of how different the next generation of artists are than the previous ones, which leads to why Cannon chose not to go to the Gucci and Jeezy Versus. The discussion returns to today with the controversial rating from Pitchfork on Ice Spice’s EP. The debating with Dom continues as the guys run through recent comments by 50 Cent, Ludacris, the undervaluing of Dr Dre’s catalog, favorite lyrics/beat. Finally, like all good debates including Don and Mal we land on Michael vs. LeBron. The guys share their personal NBA top 5, as well as, their rapper top 5.

Episode 137 | 23 and Him
Happy Friday! We’re off to a restless start as Baisley runs all over Rory’s house. Today we start with music. Complex names 21 Savage the best rapper of 2022, which leads to NORE and the rumor mill. Coming off of rumors we learn that Rick Rubin hates veganism (everyone collectively challenges Mal’s dietary preference). Staying on food, we break down the recent video of the Doordash stunt at a college basketball game and reminisce on Hood Pranks. Kanye is back on the timeline, but for less controversial reasons. Mal has a theory about a potential reunion with Adidas. This past week was fashion week in Paris so naturally we discussed the importance of the best bitty reveal. America’s favorite police officer is back in the news after a Nashville strip club offers her $10k for a couple nights' work. We provide another job she can have at the club. Then comes the most controversial topic of today’s episode. The 23-year-old who looks like a child who’s dating a 26-year-old. Rory and Julian believe this could be a breakthrough. We somehow transition into show-and-tell. Tune in as the guys discuss all of the above + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 136 | Rory Gets Denied At The Apollo
The guys are back after a mixy weekend. Rory and Julian thought they found love for Baby D, but to no avail. The following night, the party continued with Bas and the Dreamville team again at none other than Ludlow House. While we were running around lower Manhattan most people were uptown in Harlem for Drake’s back-to-back shows at the historic Apollo. We break down the set list, the featured artists, and how Rory and Mal swallowed their pride and refrained from texting Drake for tickets. While Drake had NY’s attention, Beyonce was across the world giving Dubai her first live show in 4 years. We further the Dubai conversation by proposing a question that would lead to a quick (but sticky) payout. Speaking of sexual acts, would you let your significant other go on vacation for 20 days? Tune in as we discuss all of the above, as well as, the pathetic showing of NY sports teams, Shannon Sharpe vs. The Grizzlies, Catholic School basketball + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 135 | KFC From Barstool discusses LeBron, Sitting on Cakes, and Barstool Politics
Welcome to the Barstool crossover episode. Today, we are joined by KFC and almost immediately Rory asks about Barstool politics. The guys discuss signing contracts and being cancel proof (if that’s possible). Mal and KFC share how they deal with the haters. Then the guys discuss Stephen A Smith’s comments about Rihanna vs. Beyonce and somehow bring up Mal going to the Cosby tour. Do you vote? Better yet, should you vote? We discuss who should be allowed to vote. Incoming bleep spree…which leads in to George Santos and his lies. Staying on politics, Herschel Walker’s son is killing it on TikTok. It was only a matter of time before Mal brought up LeBron and Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Shaq gets brought into the conversation, but not for the reasons you’d expect. Finally, we react to a bunch of viral videos and eventually turn KFC’s ‘Answer The Internet’ segment on himself. We make him answer a bunch of difficult would you rather'cs.

Episode 134 | Bring Back Naked News!
It feels like things are finally getting back to normal. Today starts with Eddin gifting Julian a new Lulu backpack, which will not be given to anybody to borrow. Speaking of borrowing, the La Vergne Police Department in Tennessee took team building to the extreme by personally “training” a female officer. Perhaps the police department should have started an Only Fans since they’re all out of a job. Iggy Azalea launches her Only Fans, making over $300k in the first 24 hours, thus sparking the debate of which of us should start one. Naked News was the informative Only Fans…shoutout Toronto. Mal also shares a story of when he saw Ron Jeremy in LA. Back to music, same night/same city SZA or Summer Walker? Then the guys break down the new PnD single and briefly discuss Gunna. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this, as well as, the new House Party film and LeBron’s involvement + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 133 | MEN SHOULDN’T DO THIS…
First off…if you haven’t subscribed to our Patreon you’re fooling yourself. The FaceTime call with the girls is available now and things get heated. We close out this crazy story and move on to current news beyond the pod. The guys discuss the Golden Globes and somehow go on a tangent about ‘Baby Boy’. We also discuss Jerrod Carmichael’s monologue and Eddie Murphy’s unnecessary Will Smith joke. Believe it or not Coachella is around the corner and so is the return of Frank Ocean (bring your poppers). Then we try to convince Rory and Mal to hug. We move on to an absurd list of rules for men. To no surprise Mal agrees with most of the rules. Did Julian ask the guys to brunch? Would you trust a robot to represent you in court? Speaking of law, Your Honor is coming back this Sunday. Listen in as the guys discuss all of this, Elon Musk, and more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 132 | 2020-Me!
2020-Me! Welcome to the (not so) Happy New Year. In this episode, everyone had a peaceful New Year’s…except Julian. Demaris went to Rory’s where he hosted. Eddin went out to the clubs and Mal was lowkey. If you’re not on Patreon (join for the full content) for this next story. Julian’s NYE date made her train from Cleveland to NYC and things eventually went off the rails. It’s worth noting, this was also the first time everyone heard this story. Julian details this long weekend which ultimately ends in “heartbreak.” We were able to get her and her friend on the phone for Patreon so subscribe for their response! While that disaster unfolded, Eddin found himself a nice cozy internship. After answering a 3am text from Funk Flex, he now has a new gig. The guys discuss all of this + more on this rollercoaster of an episode…p.s. “get well soon” Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 131 | Till The Rizz Runs Dry
You’ve now joined the nation of Rizzlam. Some things, such as rizz, you just can’t teach. It’s like stepping on the 2 & 4 while using your fingers on the 1 & 3. School dances were a playground for discovery. We also discovered Mal’s Guidance Counselor was a creep and Julian “nailed” his SAT. Then, the guys discuss their favorite tweets responses after Fivio Foreign gets called out for dancing with Asian Doll. “Y’all Won” still holds the title even after Drake’s latest response. Speaking of fly outs, NBA Allstar weekend is in Utah. Catch us live from the Four Seasons for pre/post game interviews with all the fly outs. Everyone needs a good sleep after a long weekend…Bill Cosby’s tour is coming in 2023 and Mal will be front row. *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* TJ Holmes' rizz led him to a divorce. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this plus whether or not they have rizz, their rizz nicknames, + more! Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 130 | Why Don't We Believe Black Women?
Welcome to our first pod of 2023! Let’s talk about equity. Actually, nevermind. Mal continues to defend Michael Jeffery Jordan in all group chats. Even down to his warm-up music. Speaking of ongoing debates, we discuss the guilty verdict from the Tory vs. LA County. Roc Nation really brought it home. Drake vs. Kendrick…who ya got? After the esteemed hip-hop heads at the New York Times crowned Kendrick the “greatest of his generation” we decide to share why we disagree. Between Drake’s timestamp records and raw-dogging a rando we have our winner. Would you let Drake sing to you at a show? We continue the music discussion with Obama’s annual playlist. And once again, Mal and Julian are let down by the Knicks, but uplifted by the new season of ‘Emily in Paris.’ Listen in as the guys discuss all of this + more on the first episode of the year.
