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.

We're back after a busy weekend. Thank you Philly for kicking off the campaign! After the show the guys linked with Baby D in Philly for Broccoli City. It was a mixy weekend on the festival grounds. Meanwhile, Julian was taking shrooms and binge watching the Olympics back in NY. In Marvel news (our specialty) Robert Downey Jr. gets casted as Dr. Doom (22:35). This leads to us talking about one of our favorite films, Tropic Thunder. Then the guys share what Olympic events they're been watching (30:26). If you're watching any sport you'll most likely see Snoop Dogg. It already feels like the Olympics are in LA. In music news, Tory's driver submits a testimony that offers no new information (50:35). Did you catch Will Smith's new song (56:19)? One could only hope to be so lucky. We review his latest single and Ice Spice's vulnerable and moving album. Soulja Boy & Bow Wow popped out on Shamu and all the sea creatures for an unexpected performance (1:08:28). Speaking of unexpected, Baby D joins us late in the episode and shares her perspective from Broccoli City (1:14:01). It's time for voicemails (1:28:13)! First we discuss our bad habits. Then we give bachelor party advice. And for the final call we give our hottest takes. Tune in as the guys discuss all of this + more!

Everyone in? Good. The ride continues. On Saturday Drake released “Taylor Made Freestyle” ft. Tupac & Snoop Dogg (AI voices). Is AI good? Was this appreciation or appropriation? Does this second release change Kendrick's release schedule? We provide speculative answers to all these new questions (10:43). During this discussion Rory also offers an apology to J Cole (27:34). Rory also believes that Taylor Swift is the person we believe Drake to be (35:15). Well none of us wanted this to happen, but Kanye inserted himself into this beef (41:52). We wish he kept this one in the vault. Meanwhile, Chris Brown is up 1-0 against Quavo after releasing “Weakest Link” (58:46). So far this has stayed on the mic, but we all believe this could be taken to the streets. Speaking of streets, Rory & Demais stepped out for a movie premiere (1:07:01). When I say stepped out I really mean sprawled out. Our poor Baby D fell down the stairs in a packed movie theater in front of Bun B and plenty of other industry people. She wasn't the only one falling to her knees this weekend; Devin Haney got dropped three times in his loss to Ryan Garcia in Brooklyn (1:20:00). Over in Manhattan, both the Knicks and Rangers won their first playoff games. It's time for voicemails! We discuss our favorite hip hop duos (1:27:34). Then Mal has a bone to pick with our generation. First, he calls Julian a d*ckrider then proceeds to come at Rory and Demaris. In classic fashion we go out arguing over that term.
