We made some waves on social media with our last episode, so we had to give Baby D props for holdin' it down for the pod. It looked for a second like Gilbert Arenas was about to see some serious jail time until he snitched. ESPN fired Shannon Sharpe because he couldn't stay away from young women.

Drake dropped a new track after we finished recording, but Rory and Mal speculated on what the public's reaction will be.

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. Rory wonders if Nicki Minaj is self aware enough to realize she's looking unhinged right now. Demaris resonates with "Backup Plan" and Giveon's new album "BELOVED". The sports world can't take a joke as Shane Gillis kills it at the ESPY's.

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. Rory has high praise for Justin Bieber's latest project "Swag" despite having one of the worst album names of all-time. Mal had FOMO watching Drake pull out all the stops for Wireless Fest. Las Vegas looks to adopt "Uno" as a new casino game which has Demaris wondering what rules will the house play by.

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