The Volume.

9.304 - 25.667 Maul

Maul, I am tired of seeing these ads where it looks like it's a great price and then you get the bill later and it is not what they advertise. But that does not happen with Boost Mobile. You pay $25 a month forever. Did you say $25 a month? $25. I thought you said $35.

0

Chapter 2: How does Boost Mobile stand out in pricing?

25.647 - 46.417 Unknown

Not with Boost. It's $25 every single time. No hidden fees. 5G speed is not available in all areas. After 30 GB, customers may experience slower speeds. Customers will pay $25 a month as long as they remain active on the Boost Unlimited plan. What if those pictures that we have seen of the Earth are fake? What if they are? Because we're not satellites.

Chapter 3: What conspiracy theories are discussed about Earth and space?

111.752 - 133.466 Unknown

And we were just there and connect. What the fuck are you talking about? We're talking science. Like, hey, I felt the gravitational pull. And then Bezos' wife with that fucking, you would think that she had all that face shit done that the gravity would have, her whole shit would have been like, oh my God. The gravitational forces fucked my whole operation up.

0

133.986 - 159.669 Unknown

Her shit would have been like, she would have looked like a fucking, yeah. It was, there was no effect on that. Yeah, yeah. So I was like, we're in anywhere like this. We're in space. Yeah. If you're in space, if you're on a high-speed fucking train, you're like this, oh shit, right? If you're, oh, fucking crap, you know. I do that getting off the FDR. You're like, oh shit, God damn.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts feel about the moon landing?

168.005 - 200.042 Unknown

And then they came out like, yeah. If you come from space, you're like, fuck. Yeah, that was intense. And then Bezos tried to open a door. They already opened it up. He was like, fucking close it. Fuck. Take two. He was like, we saw it. No X to make sure his wife is okay. And you know what? And then it's like, you can't, we, our bodies can't handle those kinds of forces.

0

200.463 - 220.785 Unknown

You know, when you're in an airplane, 35,000 feet and your pressure, and then come on, there's pilots that go higher than that. Fuck you talk. These pilots are up there with helmets on it.

The fuck is wrong with you? Is there any gender in space? Finally we solved it.

260.169 - 268.186 Maul

What the fuck? Not that she found about love up there. It was the fact that she decided two days later that she needed to learn how to walk again.

268.948 - 286.539 Unknown

Did you see that concert she was doing? That shit was trash. Her concert was garbage, straight basura. That shit was so bad. I said, maybe she did go to space because she had rickets. They left her up there.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of celebrity culture on personal identity?

307.297 - 327.966 Unknown

Because if Oprah's like in a car scene and she rolls out, it's Gayle. Yeah, absolutely. And there's two scientists who are real scientists. The girl that's the Vietnamese girl who was actually, you know, she was like sexually assaulted when she was a science. Yeah. She's gone through a lot. She's actually a real scientist.

353.107 - 356.832 Maul

She was on love. Gail kind of had a little sassy attitude once she landed.

0

356.852 - 381.142 Unknown

She was like this. She's like, have you been to space? Then you tell me. I'm sorry. But your friend is Jeff Bezos. Space costs a million dollars a day. I was just on kayak to get my ticket to go to North Carolina. What the fuck are you talking about? I was using my flyer miles and negotiating just trying to go a two-hour flight. And you're talking about... Have you been to space?

0

381.363 - 397.381 Unknown

That's when I knew it was bullshit. I'm sorry. Have you been to space? So when you get to space, let me know. Have you been to space? No, we haven't. You're the only ones that have obviously been there. Because we have questions. That's why you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

397.902 - 404.199 Maul

Flint doesn't have clean water and you went to space for funsies. Oh my God. I totally forgot about that.

404.84 - 406.403 Unknown

That Flint didn't have clean water? No.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts navigate discussions about music and artists?

407.224 - 425.554 Unknown

I went to Flint. I'm talking about this space voyage that Gayle King and I went on. People don't believe it. Have you been to space? If I have a friend named Jeff, a friend of Jeff Bezos, I'll go. Right. And he'll pay for my day. But you didn't go to space either. Have you been to space? You obviously haven't either because you're not explaining anything to us.

0

425.534 - 446.295 Unknown

You could have been like, well, the gravitational forces, it was really amazing. We saw, then we saw cosmic dust and just some space talk. Like you couldn't be at least like we, I think we saw like Haley's comic come by and we saw there's asteroid. We were able to see, you know, the moon and the craters and the dah, dah, dah. I mean, I know some science, like tell us something. Right.

0

446.815 - 469.704 Unknown

You were like this. Have you been to space? Well, yeah. If you don't know space, shut your ass up. And you know how they use the word space now just in general. I just love this space that we're in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what that was. We were in a space in space. It was sort of a safe space in space, which was sort of space-like. In a safe craft. So everything's about space.

0

469.724 - 489.339 Unknown

Everything's about space. Respect our space. It was so spacey that I'm spacey from the space. Yeah, yeah. And in this space, I was able to really be in a safe place for space. And this is a good working space for me. And, you know, and people who don't know about this space know nothing about space. So where are you on the side of the flat earth?

0

489.359 - 492.345 Maul

I still want to take Lord Jamar to Antarctica.

492.325 - 513.642 Unknown

Do you remember when they did the experiment? They recently paid $35,000 a piece for these flat earthers to go to, cause they say that Antarctica, there's an end in Antarctica. There's some other like big fucking land. Okay. There's a wall. Yeah. So this dude's like, I'm going to take it.

516.153 - 532.922 Maul

There's a Rothschild Island right there. Go to Google Maps. Is there a Rothschild Island? In Antarctica, yeah. I believe that, though. No, it's a fact. It's a snow castle? Listen, I'm saying that the Earth is round. I'm also saying that the Rothschilds own an island in Antarctica.

532.942 - 533.503

And I believe that.

533.483 - 557.23 Unknown

along with that it could be the soros the rothschild the rockefeller yeah i believe all that shit yeah now but as far as like he goes okay i'm gonna take you guys to antarctica fly you all out this guy scientist paid 35 000 a piece yeah i got the money and then we're gonna sit there and watch the sun if the sun stays in the air stays out for 24 hours it the earth's round

Chapter 7: What are the challenges of modern music consumption?

565.178 - 565.859 Rory

They were there.

0

565.899 - 586.66 Maul

They took like flat earther influencers. Like they took the Kendall Jenner of flat earth down there. And then when they got there, there was like, yo, now the 24 hour sun exists. Yeah, yeah. It's real. Then they exiled them like some Scientology shit. Like they kicked them out of the flat earther community. Yeah, they're out. Because they were like, guys, I was there. I promise you that was not...

0

586.64 - 591.386 Unknown

And they're like, it's round. Earth is round. It's round.

0

591.426 - 600.218 Rory

We were wrong. So now they kicked out of the fraternity. They kicked out. You're out of here. You think it's folk and wrong? You think it's a sphere? You're out of here, asshole.

0

600.559 - 618.064 Maul

And the internet is just the worst place because when I was- That's how they make their money though. When even looking at the flat earth shit, when I started on that rabbit hole, they were telling me like, yo, there's no flights from Argentina to Australia. And I was like, damn, why is that the case? Then I went on Priceline. I'm like, no, you can fly. Yeah.

619.681 - 622.124 Maul

They just put out misinformation as a fact.

622.164 - 642.33 Unknown

And if you don't double check it. Delta doesn't go to Trinidad. I just found that out yesterday. They don't. So it's got to be a triangle. You look at the flag of Trinidad. JetBlue does. Yeah, you can get there. They show the lines. JetBlue has more lines. No, we're going to Trinidad.

644.352 - 668.002 Maul

I feel like we have to give Maul some flowers here. I mean, it's no secret that his brother and his crew created the term pause and then Maul took the torch and very bravely in 2025 was one of the only people that when you say something that has nothing to do with sexuality, he says, that's because you're gay. And then the torch was passed back to Dame and the crew.

668.142 - 692.987 Maul

You earned, like, this is a legacy. This is a legacy of homophobia that I think is just incredible that now they're taking your phrases and making them. I'm homophobic? Oh. You know, I don't think you're homophobic. Okay. Did you watch this Dame Dash in Charlemagne? I watched it three times already. It's the greatest show on earth right now. Let me say Breakfast Club as well.

Chapter 8: How does ego affect personal relationships?

1314.696 - 1329.094 Maul

Because even when Dane was like, I could punch you in your face right now, you would do nothing. I would never do that. But you're feminine. That's hilarious. You were proud of running. I'm proud of staying and getting my ass whooped. You're gay. Yeah. It's like, wait, damn.

0

1329.455 - 1336.443 Unknown

Yeah, you didn't do the math? You gotta do the gay math. You ran? Yeah, you ran. I wouldn't. Yeah, you gay.

0

1342.09 - 1361.773 Maul

We do need to start by saying rest in peace to one of the greatest musicians, singers, artists of our time, D'Angelo. Yeah, this was one of those. Like when artists die or celebrities die, sometimes like, oh, that sucks. But this, this one like hurt. Like I felt like I know him and I've never met him.

0

1361.994 - 1362.194 Unknown

Yeah.

0

1362.755 - 1385.453 Maul

Um, yeah, this, this, I don't even know where to begin on this one. How many times in the last 10 years of podcasting have we just discussed how D'Angelo was one of our favorite artists ever? Anytime we have an R&B debate, first name we bring it up, like, he was one of them. Absolutely. Like, you can't compare his voice or style to any other artist, period. Whether B-pop, R&B, neo-soul, whatever.

1385.974 - 1408.478 Maul

He, I mean, he was a goat with, you know, three albums. Yeah. that he spread out in each generation and era that he put an album out, he changed the face of music during it. Absolutely. Um, so yeah, I mean, uh, you know, condolences to his family, definitely to his, his son, definitely probably rough, rough year for him, uh, losing both parents.

1408.818 - 1418.867 Maul

Um, so, so prayers and condolences to his son, um, as well as his daughter too. But, um, did you ever have the privilege of, of meeting D'Angelo? Uh,

1418.847 - 1448.365 Unknown

uh he was in the studio uh one night i forgot whose session it was uh he was in the studio but we never i never had the uh the the privilege of having a actual one-on-one conversation and kicking when kicking it with him and giving him his flowers um but um you know you should when you say d'angelo you know for somebody growing up in the 90s we call it the golden era of music r b especially um d'angelo was was the guy that you know

1448.581 - 1479.859 Unknown

absolutely changed the style. You're used to seeing musicians look a certain way. You're not used to seeing musicians with the talent level of what D'Angelo would have, cornrows and leather jackets and no shirt. He just changed the style of what musicians look like, especially in the 90s. He just came in and was just completely... completely just changed the sound and energy in R&B.
