Chapter 2: What insights do they share about Diddy and the music industry?
Yeah, no, I'm an American. Yeah. He's just a hypocrite.
I'm asking you our nastiness. I don't give a fuck.
Oh, okay. All right, so you value American nastiness.
Yes.
I'm going to sound like I'm doing a bit of a spin here. How would that have went if on the side of the street, when someone said, hey, this is Bill Clinton, and I said, hey, what about her emails? Do you think Bill would have been like, oh, finally, someone asked me that question. Let me tell you. No one's ever asked you? No. No, but y'all went out of your way to meet him.
Well, we're friends with the staff. Yeah, there was a bunch of people there that we knew. that we were also saying hello to. Former governor of Virginia, who is the man. Great guy. I don't know his background, so sorry guys, but he was cool. Saying that you don't even know anything about him is crazy. I didn't know his face. I didn't know his name. He just introduced himself.
He said, I'm the best governor of Virginia he's ever had. And we were like, I believe you, Terry.
What's his name? This man. Jonathan Terry. A white man named Terry. See, this is why. He looked like he knew how to throw him back, too. Put it in reverse, Terry. Yo, y'all sit on here and give me all this shit I say about Trump. Look at Terry. He's the man. Y'all not telling me Terry looked like he's in a group text with Trump? No, he's a Democrat. He was with Bill. He placed cards with Bill.
He was on the road with Bill. Usually Bill and Hillary travel separately, but for this, Hillary is involved with a university in Wales. I know, I know. They picked up three liters of adrenochrome. I know. Came back, and Bill's like, I want some of my guys. He wanted to make it a guys trip, so he brought Terry along and a couple other guys.

Chapter 3: How do the hosts address the implications of the Cassie and Diddy lawsuit?
I'm like, oh no, this is old stuff that he's playing and just like changing the, but it was, you understand it. Like they're trying to, you know, let people know your 50s here. We're going to celebrate him and things like that. The funniest part though that you forget this one, the DJ just randomly yelled, fuck Ja Rule. Yeah. Damn. So me and Roy looked at each other and was like, what?
So I turned and I looked at 50. 50 was like. Dying laughing. I looked at Roy. I said, I was not thinking fuck Ja Rule at all tonight. I promise you that thought did not run through my mind like at all. But I was like, okay, whatever. I guess it's fuck Ja Rule tonight. Whatever. But it was a good night though. We had a good time.
When he tried to match, I forgot what gig song it was, but he tried to match it with Many Men and he did the sped up version. Yeah. Many men wish death upon them. I was like, all right, man. Whoa. That's a very specific. Many men is a very specific BPM. You can't play with that BPM. He did like many men dubstep to try to catch the BPM they can't tap. You can't do that, man.
And I understand, you know, that's part of the Mediterranean vibe. You know, it was like a hookah lounge. Mediterranean. You know what I mean? Like, I get it. You know, they was trying to cater to that. But many men, you got to leave alone, though. I'm sure there's a way to do it. That just wasn't it. That wasn't the way. Don't change the BPM.
You could change the melody maybe and the beat, but not the BPM, though. Don't do that. Well, I mean, after... Meeting with Bill one day and then 50 the next. That's kind of hard. I'll take any industry joke. I'm a sellout. Like, what do you want from me? That's fine. It's okay. As long as you own up. We're not judging you.
But the funniest part of the trip may have been when we landed back in New York last year. Oh, another celebrity move, man. So we joke about Rory all the time when we go to the airport. Like, Rory's a Karen. 100%. He's a Karen when you go to the airport. He feels like everybody should move out of his way. Everything should stop. Things should go his way. Yeah. He was also really sleepy.
I was... Man, we all were. No, when we were leaving... Coming back.
Hold on.
Let's start from when we were leaving London.

Chapter 4: What are the hosts' views on accountability in the music industry?
His dark green bag. It's almost midnight. Like, we like, damn, we're going to have to stick with Rory to go to Lost and Found. Yeah, we felt bad. So I'm like, fuck, this is the worst.
Yeah, we had a lot of bags.
This is the worst way to end a trip, right? So we're there. So there's a bag going around on the conveyor belt. Yeah.
watch your boy that looks exactly like Rory's bag so Rory's like he's like nah that's not my bag I'm like damn so automatically I'm thinking like yeah you know sometimes you have the same luggage as other people that's traveling which is why I put like stickers and shit on my bag because I have like a black luggage everybody has black luggage but I put a sticker on mine so I can identify it as soon as it comes off the belt
So I'm like, damn, this bag keeps going around. At least 20 times. So I'm like, shit.
So we stand there for probably 20 times.
It was probably, it was probably maybe 15. We're probably standing there for like almost 20 minutes. Look, there were no bags that come off the belt. It was your bag and that busted DKNY bag. Somebody's whole luggage. The bag was, somebody's bag was completely open. Completely open luggage. And this luggage that isn't Rory's bag, seemingly, right? So I'm like, you know what? Seemingly.
After about 20 minutes of standing there, we wait and see if all of the luggage comes off. So pretty much no more luggage is coming down the belt. I say, Julian, the next time the bag comes around, just take it off the thing so we can look at the name on it and say, because the idea was this is somebody else's bag. They mistake their bag, Rory's bag, for their bag.
So I'm like, okay, once we look at the tag, we can take it to Lost and Found. They can contact this person. They have their number, email. Hey, we think you took the wrong bag. We have your bag here at the airport. This is what we're thinking, right? So I say, Julian, just grab the bag so we can look at the name on it, take it to Lost and Found.

Chapter 5: What reflections do the hosts have about their trip to London?
I'm not doing it. You know what I'm saying? So I already know the ceiling for me, very low. And that's okay, though. Like, I live comfortably. I do what I want to do. You know, I don't have any, like, areas where I feel like, you know, I'm lacking. It's like everything is, I'm fine. I'm blessed. I'm happy.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of Diddy's recent controversies?
I'm grateful. But, you know, it's just time, man. There's so much shit in this culture that we celebrate. And there's a lot of shit that we turn a blind eye to and act like we don't see happening and we don't hear what's happening. And that shit is stupid. It's enough is enough. It's time to get to it. Address that shit so we can get all the bullshit out of the culture. For sure.
And one thing y'all, sorry, one thing I did want to address, one more thing. One thing I didn't address on a Patreon that I wanted to address that a lot of people were saying that just she's, why would you settle if this person did this to you? Why would you settle? Cassie is a victim and she did more than what she was obligated to do by even releasing this lawsuit. She did y'all a favor.
She let y'all know that there was even a villain to be, to hate. She let y'all know that there was someone to hate. She's not obligated to go through a fucking,
a trial I probably would have traumatized re-traumatized her made her feel so small made her doubt herself while people are sitting up there trying to blame things on her and flip it and make it look like she was guilty or oh well why did you stay or well why did you do this or why did you do that she didn't owe nobody shit she did y'all a favor by even coming out with that fucking lawsuit I hope she takes her money and lives her best life but because somebody settles on something like that when the person wouldn't go to jail anyway they were just gonna have to pay money it was he was never in at risk of going to jail for this
She did what she needed to do. Her team definitely knew that this was going to be settled out.

Chapter 7: What are the key takeaways from the discussion on Cassie's lawsuit?
They knew it quick. I thought we talked about that on Patreon, but now I remember we talked about it off mic. What else was Cassie supposed to do? This is how the system is set up. To Damaris' point, going the criminal route, not happening. Where's the rape kit? It just wouldn't work. The only other option besides years of fucking self-healing
This is the only way to get that person is their pockets. And to get the information out there, what's she going to do, an Instagram post? That's not going to be taken seriously. She went the only route you possibly could go. Mm-hmm. What is the problem with what Cassie did? Yeah, there's no problem with what Cassie did. Please tell me what else she should have done. People are stupid.
Done a Gayle interview and then just left? People are stupid and uninformed and they're like, oh, she's just after money. It's not even after.
Chapter 8: How do the hosts feel about Andre 3000's new album?
Damaris is like what you said. People just don't care. And they also don't care. So she's also a victim of this whole system, this whole capitalist system. The only way to get somebody is their money. The only solution that's been created for people like Cassie is a settlement.
Yes. Because the system survives on money being transferred to let people know, yo, my bad. We've kind of fucked up here. Here's a Band-Aid. I hope this is enough to cover your trauma. And then hopefully, I'm sure they said you can never speak on it again. Of course. That's the system that has been built. That has been existing across the board. It's not just an entertainment.
This is enough money to keep you quiet. Sorry for everything we did.
The selfish thinking that I saw, and I don't want to attack women on this one, but women saying, Cassie had to sign an NDA, got the settlement, now she can't speak about it. You guys expect Cassie to be the poster child for rape and go on a fucking interview campaign and just talk to everyone and be the face of it? After something like that happens to you, no.
Sometimes you just want the information out there so people know what this individual did. And then you want your fucking privacy. Why does Cassie have to be the person that doesn't settle and goes and tells everyone on a campaign? Mm-hmm. Women were really expecting her to do that. Yeah, but y'all talking about people that are just online, just typing and you can't address that.
People are just, they don't care. They don't care. That's just the bottom line. I'm also speaking to us as a culture. What do we have to do as a culture to fucking change this behavior and prevent these things from continuing to happen? We know that they've been happening for years. We've had a bunch of people with allegations. How do we stop it?
How do we address it and make sure that women in our culture are protected and that this doesn't continue to happen? That, to me, is the bottom line. Something that was actually positive this past week while we were in London. Your STD results? Excuse me? Sorry. I don't have a sexually transmitted disease, if that's what you were trying to imply. I think that's what he was implying.
I don't have a sexually transmitted disease. Good for you. Like every time we're in London, Drake dropped. Thanks. There is something to talk about there. You think Drake times our London checklist? Absolutely. No, it's not that he times it. Okay, so let's go through it. When we were in Mexico, he dropped her loss. No, he dropped the... No, honestly, never mind.
Honestly, never mind.
