Happy Monday gang! We roll straight into our recap of our weekends. Rory went to the Jersey Shore, which inspired a walk down memory lane of the greatest reality tv show to exist (09:18). We have a quick debate about whether magic is real (16:20), and then Mal surprises us all with a confession – he’s a Baddies (Zeus Network) fan (19:21). While trying to convince the rest of the crew to become one too, Rory shares that he is now a non-misogynist in support of women’s cheerleading after binging the series on the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading team (27:35). After a brief recap of that and some other exciting things going on in women’s sports, we enter another (quick, I promise!) debate about whether Kendrick will put NLU on his next album (46:21), and also briefly touch on The Game’s response to him not being in the building for the Pop Out show (52:48). Chief Keef successfully and safely performed in his hometown of Chicago for the first time in over a decade (1:01:52), and the XXL Freshman 2024 list is out – and pretty accurate this go ’round (1:07:23). Mal did an interview with XXL discussing whether streaming/podcasts are running hip-hop, and that leads us to discuss whether our team would enter the streaming arena, and how we would go about it (1:15:08). We then have a voicemail from a gentleman asking for advice on working at a label while trying to start his own (1:19:30), and another on connecting with new people over adult hobbies (1:33:39). Stay to the end for a clip of our most recent Patreon episode, available now for our Supervisor tier only (02:00:17)! Listen here: https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmal
