Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Since it was your birthday, Rory, we're recording on a Wednesday. I appreciate you guys respecting. You used to record on Thursdays, but now the Thursday is May the 4th. Be with you.
It's your birthday.
So we decided as a team to give you that day to yourself. Yeah. I felt like I was... And record on Wednesday. I should record on my birthday. I like working through the birthday. Why not? I think so too. We need to work through our birthday.
We get to avoid a bunch of unnecessary phone calls. We don't have to pay for shit. Or I could tell everyone in my life that we have to record so they leave me alone. They think it's Wednesday that we're recording right now. But I could tell everyone that now I'm recording tomorrow. Yeah.
You should do that.
Welcome to a new episode of the new Rory and Maul podcast. I am Maul. I'm Rory. And we're back, my brother. How you feeling? I feel fucking great. Listen, the Met Gala was this week in New York. Traffic was gridlocked. Was it? It was. I went nowhere near the Met.
I went nowhere near Celebrity Halloween.
Anywhere in the city. It was fucking crazy this weekend. Well, this week. But I'm glad that shit is over. I hate when it's like events like that in New York. Because we have enough traffic as it is. True. I guess I didn't even notice. So, like, when the Met is here, well, you don't travel to the city around that time. No. You're at home in comfortable Jersey.

Chapter 2: What are the highlights of the Met Gala this year?
I said he didn't talk flamboyant. I agree. That's what I said. I said he doesn't talk flamboyant.
What's flamboyant about this? This nigga had his ass out. That's character. He had a thong on. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Kanye had like a mask on. He had a thong on at the Met Gala. That's hard. He was dipped in, I don't know if he was a silver surfer or the, oh, I don't know what he was. If he was a parchment paper.
Chapter 3: How do the hosts feel about the Met Gala traffic?
He was Cisco's haircut. If he was Reynolds wrap. If he was a baked potato. I don't know what look he was going for. But this is what Lil Nas X decided to wear. How'd you feel about the cuff? Excuse me? I'm not even... It's cufflinks. I don't even know if he had cufflinks on. He had boots and a thong and pearls all over him. But yeah, the Met Gala, I don't know if everybody was happy.
Some people did look great. Tiana Taylor looked amazing. I'm not the fashion person, so please correct me.
Or don't correct me. I just feel like... Was this the first time... People are just running out of dresses and tuxedos, right? That's why Lil Nas X had his ass out.
He didn't have a tuxedo or a dress to wear.
Was this not Halloween this year? Doja was really a cat. Doja was a cat.
She was dressed... J. Cole could never... She was Karl Lagerfeld's cat.
The theme was Karl Lagerfeld. It was a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld. Gotcha. Which is weird. Can we address that? You think that's what's weird about it, right?

Chapter 4: What are the hosts' thoughts on Lil Nas X's fashion choices?
No, it's weird because he was like a big person that got caught up in the Me Too scandal. And he somehow came out unscathed.
He hates women and black people.
Baby, this is fashion.
We don't care about girls. No, it's great. This is Chanel, baby. But they got so many of those fashion guys out of here.
They don't care about that. If you know the history of Chanel, you think they're going to stop at that guy?
Them chicks are still lined up to pay for those purses. They don't give a fuck about what Karl Lagerfeld said about them. And Jewish people will wear it. Are you kidding me? What are you talking about?
I'm saying for that month or two when they cared about women. Nobody. I don't know. I'm saying when they cared about women. Do you think Hugo Boss was born? He got canceled. And now they're honoring him.
We know by now, Julian, it's okay to say it. We know that the cancel culture shit is not real. We know that people get upset. Except for the baby. Yeah, well, the baby's ass is canceled.
Anna didn't invite the baby? No. No.

Chapter 5: What insights do the hosts share about the writer's strike?
Jared Leto, he actually went as a full cat. You don't think that's weird?
He ate because that looks just like Carl's cat.
He ate. He ate. He put on a cat suit and walked around. No, he didn't. He can't eat. Where would he eat at? I don't know. Listen, man. You got to have fun, right? This is, I guess, Hollywood and celebrities having fun. It's a party. It's a theme. Let's just have fun. Be obnoxious. Be as fucking crazy as we can for a night and have the entire internet post nothing but pictures of us.
I want to see the 501c3 tax returns for this event. Where does this charitable money go? Oh, you know charity. You know it goes to charity. Where does any charitable money go?
To charity.
Is there any malnourished kid that's like, thank you, Jared Leto, for dressing as a cat. I finally got a meal.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely. Where does the money go?
I don't know, man. That's not my business. Private jet fuel. Oh, yeah. Gotta have the 50K for that. The jet fueled up. Gotta do that.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Ed Sheeran's legal issues?
If that happens, I'm done. I'm stopping. I find it really insulting to devote my whole life to being a performer and a songwriter and have someone diminish it. No one's diminishing what you're doing. They're suggesting that you borrowed from them and they need to be paid and compensated for it.
That's a really arrogant fucking quote.
You were aware that you borrowed this. You know you did it. You don't think it's insulting? I'd imagine if Ed Sheeran, let's say Let's Get It On never existed and Thinking Out Loud was a completely original piece and 20 years down the line, someone took those exact same chords and made a hit. You don't think Ed would feel insulted? Yeah.
Do you even feel like that would diminish his artistry if someone just took from him and didn't credit him?
Chapter 7: How does Frank Ocean's lawsuit against a fan unfold?
No, I understand both sides. I understand as a writer, you're hearing this, thinking out loud record, and you're like, hmm, sounds very familiar to something that I wrote called Let's Get It On. Just a little number. Just a little tune I came up with one night. You may or may not know it. Yeah, you may or may not know it. But I do understand the other side of that as well of Ed saying...
I don't want to diminish word, right? I don't want people to feel like I stole something or because that's not what would happen. Again, we understand how subconsciously we'll hear melodies when you're creating something and not even realize like, oh, shit, that's let's get it on. Now, it's hard to in the court of law.
Chapter 8: What is the significance of Brent Faiyaz's recent deal?
If I play that same YouTube video with Ed playing Thinking Out Loud and then going into Let's Get It On and I'm like... Yeah, that's hard. That's really tough in the case. Right? It's his DJ brain. Right. But it's like... You know, I can understand if Edison... That's Edward Scissorhands on there. If Edison, like, yo, I didn't steal that. That's not what I want. It does sound like it.
I can see how, you know, it mashes and blends well, but I didn't take from that. Edward Scissorhands wouldn't be a good DJ name, bro?
I'm sure that exists somehow.
No, that wouldn't. We speculated that it would be a similar lawsuit to the Blurred Lines ones, but this one is allegedly worth $100 million. God damn! So this would be a much larger hit towards us.
Well, Ed is right then. If he does lose, he ain't got no choice but to quit.
No, he's got to make some fucking new songs. I was going to say pump some shit out.
Nah, man. It's... It's tough, man. I understand it on both sides. It's tough, but Ed, I'm not going to lie. That video of you going into that mashup to let's get it on. It sounded great. It did sound great. It was amazing. Expensive video. Amazing. It cost $100 million. Yeah, that's going to cost you, buddy. Speaking of expensive videos.
How do you feel about Frank Ocean and his team suing the pants off a fan?
They're not suing. They're issuing C&Ds, which means take down that fucking video or we'll sue the pants off you. Yes. I mean, I don't know what the stipulations. I felt like Coachella would own that footage before Frank Ocean would.
