New Rory & MAL

Thursdays are usually for guests, but we had to switch it up this week. We got a guest episode dropping for y'all tomorrow. But we're officially back, and after catching up with what everybody did with their time off we make sense of Young Thug's leaked phone calls (27:50). Of course Mal thinks the government is after him smh. Rory actually enjoyed Bobbi Althoff's intervirew with Drake, and Demaris and Mal debate why Drake doesn't want to give interviews to traditional hip-hop media (1:08:16). Hot 97 lets go of DJ Enuff, and that hit a little too hard for Rory. How come Flex still has a spot, and is he the reason Enuff and Camilo are no longer on-air? (1:32:28) Plus, an update from the caller who hates her cousin...once again Mal was right (1:40:37) #volume

This week on New Rory & Mal, Mal explains why he has never asked Drake to come on the pod, why we assume Rihanna is done dropping music forever, we debate who is more recognizable in public - Taylor Swift or Beyonce, and we kick it with The Kid Mero about the podcasting industry and tell a few Bronx tales #volume

All is back to normal as we got Demaris back after her vacation to close out the week. Shoutout to Rory for getting a placement on DJ Khaled's new all-star dancehall track. Demaris and Rory think Mariah The Scientist might have dropped a Top 5 R&B album of 2025. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get engaged, but do we honestly give a damn? French Montana just married his way into becoming the world's richest rapper. Any chance he's able to pay Jay-Z enough to perform at the wedding? Plus, Cardi B kills it in the courtroom, Mal is convinced Bieber goes around sayin' the N-Word, and our voicemail got us encouraging violence #volume

First off, shoutout to us for reaching episode 400. We got an update on Lil Nas X, and Rory and Mal start to wonder if this was a humiliation ritual (16:18). A check in on DJ Khalid leads to a discussion on if the music industry is cooked and if artists like Rihanna and Jay-Z will ever drop an album again (24:55). Mal wonders if he's the right guy to review Cardi B's music (45:13). Drake is set to reappear on Bobbi Althoff's new podcast, but why won't he appear on New Rory & Mal? (54:19) Plus, Rory does some self reflection after watching the Jussie Smollett documentary (1:17:45), and a voicemail leads to a debate on what is and isn't appropriate blackmail (1:38:28) #volume
