Chapter 2: What is the significance of fasting in this episode?

1024.446 - 1037.663 Maul

I was not yelling at you. I would never yell at you. But it's... Today's day three of Ramadan? No. Yeah. I don't know. What day is it? Day two. Day two. Okay. Yeah. Let's see where Maul's at at day seven with all this kumbaya shit. No, man. Listen, man. He's going to start to get more irritable.

0

1037.683 - 1039.845 Mal

I think it's day 15 might be his breaking point.

0

1040.747 - 1063.279 Maul

Listen, I understand. I understand. I get it. I'm respecting people's bubbles. Okay. That's what I'm doing from now on. Okay. No, I'm not mad at it. I respect your bubble. I respect Baby D's bubble. Peej, I respect your bubble. Love your bubble. Hey, yo. Peej got a bubble? Damn, I knew it. It's me and Michael Jordan that y'all make it weird about. Why y'all make it weird?

0

1063.299 - 1082.584 Maul

Because what Michael did was weird. It wasn't weird, man. Y'all are just weird. The world is weird. Sorry. I'm respecting people's bubbles. Your bubble is different from Michael Jordan's bubble. Yeah, you're more of a NASCAR bubble. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. I totally get it. Check the bubbles, man. All right. How are you celebrating this weekend with Ramadan?

0

1083.005 - 1091.478 Maul

Well, this week, it's my nephew's birthday. Shout out to my nephew. I can't call him Nugget no more. He told me I can't call him Nugget because he'll be 10 now. Oh, yeah. So I got to call it.

1091.638 - 1092.439 Mal

He's a tender.

1092.679 - 1097.687 Maul

Now his name is, I got to call him Big Ant. So shout out to my nephew, Big Ant. Happy birthday.

1097.827 - 1098.468 Rory

I love you.

1098.568 - 1109.404 Maul

So I'm spending the weekend with my nephew. He's probably, he's the most mature 10 year old. He's probably going to go fishing and go play golf. Oh no, I've seen him on Instagram playing golf. Yeah, he wants to, he's probably going to want to do that.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of DaBaby's comments on cancel culture?

2832.605 - 2853.032 Maul

Like this isn't a 501c dog. Yeah. I want to make money. I'm here to make money. Yeah. And if that has to do with changing with the times and I'm sure Spotify didn't want to fucking partner with Sony and Universal. But you got the you got the catalog. I got no choice. Yeah. I could just be a hero in Sweden for a couple hundred thousand people or I could grow it to be the biggest DSP ever.

2853.712 - 2858.26 Maul

Which would you pick? Makes sense to me. Listen, it's business. It's business.

Chapter 4: How does the conversation shift to the impact of mental health on public figures?

2858.6 - 2881.019 Maul

That's what people have to understand. It's all a part of business. And I get why fans, art versus commerce, I'm one of those people too where it's fucked up, but this is also people's job. Not everything is for the love of the culture. Sometimes people just want to make it. Not everything. Most things aren't for the love of the culture. Like, did I love what Nipsey did with the $100 mixtape?

0

2881.379 - 2890.514 Maul

Absolutely. Incredible. Great for the culture. It was a staple. It did prove a model at a time. It was amazing. Nipsey also made a lot of fucking money that I'm sure he was happy about.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of community in fraternity life?

2890.774 - 2896.667 Maul

Absolutely. I'm sure he was like, you know what? Nah, nah, nah. It ain't about that. Give that to hip-hop. Yeah, yeah.

0

2896.687 - 2897.829 Mal

Give that to hip-hop.

0

2897.849 - 2902.816 Maul

Give that, you know what I'm saying? Give that to hip-hop. Jay-Z, don't give me $10,000 for one of my mixtapes.

0

2902.836 - 2903.096 Rory

I'm cool.

0

2903.196 - 2909.765 Maul

I don't need that. Yeah, I bet. Yeah, you wish all this would say something about that. Yeah, I think LaRussell wants to make money like the rest of us, too.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts compare the views of Kevin Samuels and Cam Newton?

2909.945 - 2935.2 Maul

Absolutely. You can balance it. As you should. I've never had a real issue with Damaris until she typed this article. On our screen, the baby dropped a new album coming off a hot single. Demaris. I'm sorry. No, no, I'm going to just stop producing. Fuck it. I'm respecting your producer bubble. The baby dropped a new album coming off a hot single. Blazing hip-hop in R&B.

0

2935.36 - 2953.513 Maul

Now, can I ask the question that you and I probably want to know the answer to? What was the name of the single? Pop It, if I'm not mistaken. I like the baby. I just think the term hot single is funny. I love the baby, but I just didn't know the single that was hot. I don't know either. Pop That Thing. Pop That Thing? Can we play it real quick?

0

2953.533 - 2973.088 Maul

Just do a pause because I'm trying to see if I've heard it before. Yep. All right. No, I have not heard that scorching new single. I do like it. And don't take this as any fact. This is just my opinion with my algorithms. I'm not saying it's a fact. I've started to notice I feel like the baby's blackballed. I feel like he's kind of kicked out the algorithms.

0

2973.108 - 2991.788 Maul

Like I should know that DaBaby has a single out. Like I keep up with his music. I wouldn't say I'm a diehard fan by any means, but I am a casual fan that would at least know you're putting out a single and pay attention to shit that I don't even care about. Well, do you follow DaBaby on any social media sites? Not on Instagram.

0

2991.808 - 2999.372 Maul

That's why I said a lot of my shit with Twitter was all hip hop stuff and Instagram. I'm not going to follow DaBaby. I wouldn't expect the baby to follow me either.

2999.592 - 3008.725 Mal

I discover all new music on TikTok. So the reason why I said hot single is because that song is huge on TikTok. Same as the Juvenile song that you guys hadn't heard about.

3009.005 - 3030.173 Maul

That Juvenile record is fire. Yeah, BBB is big on TikTok. That record is so good. That's where I discover almost all new music now because unless you curate your Instagram feed perfectly, you're not going to discover new music on Instagram. I just feel like... Outside of the fake canceling of the baby and other shit that was going on, of course I knew he wouldn't be as in our face as before.

3030.193 - 3038.384 Maul

I just feel like some form of blackballing has happened. He's not in anything that I see. He's been saying that he's blackballed for a while, too.

3038.644 - 3048.357 Mal

I also think it just might be that once you become unlikable to the masses, whether you earned it or not, once you become unlikable to the masses, nobody's going to report on you because no one cares.
