Chapter 2: What are the highlights of Megan Thee Stallion's new tequila brand?
Yeah, she sucking my dick. Yeah, she sucking my dick. Yeah, she grabbing my balls. Yeah, she know that's my shit. And we're back. The sick cast. I feel like everyone has been sick for the last two weeks. No one can shake.
Chapter 3: What conspiracy theories surround wealthy individuals like Jay-Z?
any of these flus. I'm about 50 ginger shots deep over the last two weeks. I don't even know what to do anymore. It's all good. Don't worry about it, man. Told you you're the mono warrior, man. You're probably a little mono. I don't think I've ever had mono, honestly. Oh, okay. Really? You got out of there clean? You got the newer career, but no mono? Dog, born 1990. I was at the height of mono.
Chapter 4: How do personal experiences shape our views on love and relationships?
Oh, shit. Like, when we started figuring out what kissing was, mono was at its peak. Like, it was, yeah. It was definitely mono 19 at that point. Well, hopefully everybody starts to feel a little bit better. Do remember that our first episode, Rory. Yes. Rory Maul, don't know ball, but our first guest, Adam Pac-Man Jones, is available now. Yes. Shout out to Adam Pac-Man Jones for joining us.
One of my favorite defensive backs and punt returners of all time. One of my favorite personalities as well. On and off the field. Yeah. It was fun talking to him. A lot of bumps and turns and stuff. That was a roller coaster, but we got through it. Shout out to Pac-Man Jones. He was a great guest. Especially on Zoom and him being at a golf store with a golf simulator.
Where else would Pac-Man Jones be at? Where else would he be but a golf store? But I thought it was a really cool first episode. For those that don't know, we are launching a new show on our same YouTube platform, same audio platform, Rory and Maul Don't Know Ball, where we talk with some of our favorite people from the sports world about music topics.
Some sports stuff that we'll try to learn on, but we're not going to give you some skip takes. We are staying within our wheelhouses with music. Pac-Man Jones said that future needs to thank Young Thug, and I just had to sit that one out because I'm not from Atlanta, but I started doing the math in real time. I just don't. That might have been the craziest music take.
I mean, but maybe it wasn't just about music. It's kind of funny because after we were pitching the show, and shout out to the volume, We had said over the years, the worst and craziest music takes we've gotten from people ended up being athletes, how we came up with this concept. And off the first episode, Pac-Man Jones says that future O's Young Thug a thank you.
I mean, but again, I'm thinking maybe it may be personal. It might not be every music basis like you're thinking.
maybe we were asking maybe questions though yeah it's just like future been out 10 years before thug was even around yeah but still thug might influence that from you know i mean from behind the scenes though like i don't even want to get in the studio yet but you should future was in the basement with andre 3000 and big boy in the 90s maybe outcast gotta thank thug too we don't know it could be a deeper darker criminal link and you know what's funny
Now that I think about it, remember when everyone got really pissed off? You know, when Three Stacks comes out of the woodwork every so many years to do interviews. He had said at Phife's funeral when he was speaking and in some publication that Thug was his favorite artist. Like everyone thought he was about to shit on Thug. He's like, nah, to me that defines Atlanta. There you go.
You're onto something. So Pac-Man was right. Thank them. AT Aliens. Yeah. All the futures catalog. Doug was a kid in there. Exactly. Somewhere. Somewhere along the line, Doug is in that story. But our first episode of Rory Mall Don't Know Ball with Adam Pacman Jones is available now. And my car was beautiful with Day 26. Yes. Incredible performance. Thank you to the guys for coming through, man.

Chapter 5: What contributions did Robert Townsend make to comedy?
I don't think Robert Townsend gets talked about enough when you talk about comedy, comedic writing, film. Hollywood Shuffle, one of the greatest, to me, movies or sketch comedy, whatever you want to call it. I remember having to sneak to watch that growing up. Have you ever worked with guys like Robert? Directed Raw. Eddie Murphy. Right, right. And has writing credits on it, I believe.
Here is, to me, one of the most unsung things about Robert Townsend, you know, filmmaker, stand-up, just a guy who has just been a supporter of the business, him and his relationship with the Wayans and all of that. I remember 03, 04, y'all can Google the stats to check it. Everybody talked about BET, and they were like, oh, why BET the only thing that's out there?
Chapter 6: How did Robert Townsend impact the Black entertainment industry?
Why BET the only thing? Robert Townsend put 10 toes down, put his money up and started and tried to start something called the Black Family Channel. And it was good, clean, black family oriented content. My man started a network from the ground up.
Then at the time, pre Def Jam, there was a stand up show called Partners in Crime and Partners in Crime was essentially traditional black showcase show, three, four comics and a half hour. Mm hmm. He brought back Partners in Crime and created a new platform for black comedians to be on and broke bread with folks. And the channel never came to fruition the way that he wanted it to.
But I'd be damned if everybody didn't get their bread. I'd be damned if everybody didn't get paid. I'd be damned if Robert Townsend didn't attempt to create a platform for other creators to come in and pour themselves into, man. It was it was ahead of its time. And.
I would imagine if he did it now, 20 years later, you run it as a YouTube channel and you flip it that way and then grow it up into something. Yeah, it's different now. It's different now. But at the time, he's going up against Paramount and NBC and Behemoths trying to start a whole network. Like, he trying to Byron Allen the shit. Right.
Without... And didn't have as deep of a bankroll as Byron Allen did at the time. So... That was my first real interaction with him was auditioning for Partners in Crime, getting an audition and being invited back to tape a television show, man. Like that was like a television credit in 03. Yeah. That was gold. Major. That was gold.
Like whatever you think a TikTok or an IG channel is worth to you now, that's what a single appearance on television was worth. You get booked everywhere you wanted to go after that. And so his... He continues to give back to the culture that made him. And he's never stopped that.
And I think he's definitely one of the most unsung people, one of the most unsung architects of black culture in the 20th and 21st century. The network would have worked if the CIA didn't give Tyler Perry all that money. Got him the fuck out of here. Is that where you think he got it from? 100%. I mean, makes sense. You don't think Tyler Perry's an agent?
uh nah cause we seen Tyler Perry we seen his we seen his rise we seen it when they went from you know on Broadway live shows Tyler Perry so I used to do mornings in Birmingham um early 2000's Tyler Perry come through with them live plays man yeah He was sleeping in the car. Tyler Perry would be in the radio station smelling unbathed. Unbathed.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Lizzo's weight loss on her fanbase?
Oh, I'm not saying he didn't put in... I say that with respect to Tyler Perry. I didn't say he didn't put in his thousand hours or hustle. I'm saying that the CIA respected his hustle and saw him as a valuable asset. They co-opted him later on. He's sleeping. He's working. All right, Roy, so... 4-5-47 is back in office. OK.
And I saw, you know, you have a classic, classic roast of President Joe Biden. How did you feel, first of all, during the election? Like, where were your thoughts on everything? You are being on CNN. You had to do a lot of like, you know, talking on discussions about the whole election and everything.
I thought it was closer than every, I thought the election was closer than what everybody made it out to be. Like everybody at like, this was like a four game sweep. It felt that way. It looked that way. Did you see the electoral votes? Kamala Trump was, that didn't feel like a four, two, six game series to you? No, nah. I think it felt like four, one. It looked good early.
It looked good early. It was okay.
And then it was like 20 minutes in. Remember in 01 when the Sixers beat the Lakers in game one of the finals? Yes. And they had swept every team. It was like, oh shit, this is for real. And then it was a sweep after that. It was a gentleman sweep. I think that the nation spoke, man.

Chapter 8: How do artists navigate changes in their public image?
Yeah, it's a clean win. He landed all the blows. I think that the Democrats need to figure out how to connect with folks. And I think that when you get into the minutia of identity politics, you're dividing a lot of people. So Democrats got to figure out how to appeal to the masses without losing the people that they built their base on. Right. And I think that's the fear right now.
If you're a Democrat right now. You cannot legitimately say, all right, fuck all that what we was talking about. Let's just talk about America as a whole. You can't do that because then you're going to lose your base. And the people that you're trying to steal from Trump's side, will they trust you? Right. You know, I don't know, man.
I do think that for midterms and for 28, it's got to be a new face in there. I don't think it can be an old face that—
challenges for the throne no it has to be new uh i would like to see a younger a little bit of younger or having younger options younger voices younger ideas uh running for for presidency yeah i mean you know they talk about newsome and i think the republicans respect that too because that's why they're already popping shots at him after the fires and the tricky shit with the water like that's the stuff that trump got to stop doing at some point because that's when it started looking all right man you're looking stupid you're talking about you turn the water on yeah it's
You didn't turn the fucking water. He did. He went right there. He went to the ocean. Fire stopped. I turned on the water. It was like when he was going to nuke the hurricane. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, you look at a Trump supporter, they'd be like, yeah, he turned the water on. They'd be like, ah. I thought I could talk to you. Now I got to leave Thanksgiving.
This is pretty much every post episode when Maul starts smoking, that conversation right there. He went over, he turned the hose. You know the hose in Hollywood? He just did that. I just hope, this is my hope for democracy, is that we can get back to a place where we have conversations based on policy and logic. That's it. You're a dreamer. That's it.
Because when you start looking at him talking about gulf of america and you start talking about i renamed the fort freedom fort brag i named it back to fort brag and then i mount mckinley and you're using that to justify voting for the man yeah it's like if he'd have ran on that goofy shit yeah you'd have been like what where the fuck are the policies bro yeah if trumpet ran on renaming water
Would you have been able to squarely look me in the face and go, yes, he is the guy. I think a large majority of the country would still. Oh my God. No, I think he's less of the problem. It's the people he's speaking to that are the real issue.
Cause yes, I think out of a lot of the bullshit, like distraction issues that they always put with us, whether it be fucking transgender bathrooms, whatever, that is what a lot of the country, because America is dumb overall, we get passionate about stupid shit. So yeah, I can see half of the country going, you know what? Why is it the Gulf of Mexico?
