Feeling great. Feeling good. I was up at 6 a.m. because Amar goes to real school now, so I can't be late to drop her off. I was coming from Jersey, so I came to the office to sleep afterwards, and I slept under our air conditioning. I think I lost at least a week of my life. I was completely fine a few hours ago. I slept right under that AC Speaker 2 (3:14) for an Speaker 1 (3:15) hour in our lounge. The air Speaker 2 (3:16) conditioning Speaker 1 (3:17) is Speaker 2 (3:17) the only thing that I'm scared of. No, it like did a number on me. Yeah, like I don't, I don't, the AC, sleeping under that AC, that will take you out every time, man. Every time. I feel like a different person right now, just from one AC. Wait till tonight. Wait till your immune system starts to like go to bed. Like right now you're up. Like your immune system is up. Yeah, it's moving. Yeah, but wait till you settle in for the night. Got a little Chipotle in my system. Wait till that body chill starts to hit you and ache and start sweating in the bed. Wait till that hits you. Speaker 1 (3:50) We didn't have AC when I was growing up and not like because like we were poor or anything. I don't know. Just cheap. So I slept with like a fan in my face every single night. I don't know how I did that. Literally like this close to my face every night. I Speaker 2 (4:04) can't do it, man. The AC, that fan. Once you fall asleep, you fall asleep for 10 minutes under the AC. Yeah, it feels like you haven't had any water in 20 years. Yeah. Throat gets tight. Body gets stiff. Yeah. Well, hopefully I'll Speaker 1 (4:20) survive. But how are you feeling, man? I Speaker 2 (4:21) feel good, man. Feel good. Great weather, you know. You was outside? I went outside. I went outside this week, this Saturday. I went out. I went out. Shout out to Sean Dickerson. He was in town. Yeah. He had an event downtown for Fashion Week. Sean was the only person that could probably get me out of the house for anything Fashion Week. Oh, Speaker 1 (4:37) you went to the block party thing? So I went. Oh, damn. I wanted to go, but I didn't Speaker 2 (4:40) want to. Speaker 1 (4:40) By the time I got down there, they had already Speaker 2 (4:42) shut everything down. Yeah. My dummy was playing that shit. But then we went down the block to the bar and me and Sean kicked the footman and they went to dinner. But I did one of your Irish exits. Yeah. And I just left and went home. But I Speaker 1 (4:55) was outside for a little Speaker 2 (4:56) bit. Speaker 1 (4:57) Yeah. No, Saturday looked like there was a lot of fun things going on. I was watching Squidward out the window. Yeah. Tight at everyone. Yeah. The Battle of Joloff shit was going on. Just all my friends looked like they were having a blast. Battle of who? Joloff. Is that my pronouncing it correctly? Oh, Joloff. Oh, okay. My apologies to the African community if I'm mispronouncing it. Speaker 2 (5:15) I thought you said Speaker 1 (5:15) Joe Laws. No. What is that? No, like the food. Okay, got it. They had a basketball game in Brooklyn. That looked like a lot of fun. But I don't know how your 9-11 was. I ended up having a really nice 9-11. I did. Speaker 2 (5:29) All right. What did you do for 9-11, Rory? How did you remember one of the most fateful days in American history? Speaker 1 (5:36) When you had left the office, we were at... hanging here and i got like an instagram ad i was like how the fuck did we not realize that dave chappelle bill burr aziz nazari nikki glazer kevin hart uh i'm i'm missing like two other a-list comedians all were performing at at the garden for like a 9-11 memorial pete davidson put it together for like firefighters families and shit so yeah we bought tickets and we then we went Speaker 2 (6:00) and pete davidson of course he lost his dad in honor yes Speaker 1 (6:03) um Speaker 2 (6:04) But I mean, look at where we are as a country. You put on a. Oh, Shane Gillis too. Shane Gillis. OK, so all of all of the A-list is of comedy. Yeah. Like, look at how. Jon Stewart. Is that not the American spirit? One of the most, you know, just tragic days in American history. And, you know, 25 years later, we're able to, you know, laugh. Speaker 1 (6:27) Let's make some little LOLs about it. What's some LOLs about one of the most tragic days in American history? They took our, well, they didn't take our phones because I don't know why security believed me and Damaris. We're like, oh, we don't carry phones. They just let us go. But yeah, you're supposed to lock your phones up. But now you see how 9-11 happened. Same security. Speaker 2 (6:48) No, we don't carry box cutters. We don't. Yeah. We don't. We don't. We don't do those things. We don't bring anything on. Someone check the shoes. Hey, look, if Nikki Glaser could joke about 9-11, Speaker 1 (6:59) so can we, man. But yeah, so they locked. The comedians thought everyone's phone was locked. So those shows are way more fun when like they know no one can film anything or anything like that. So it was a really, really, really good show. And no, not every set was like about 9-11. Yeah. It's funny about the phone thing. Speaker 2 (7:20) When I saw Bill Burr in L.A. right after he left the comedy series, it was a woman that was filming him as soon as he got on stage. And he was like, he's like, man, could you not film me? He's like, because, you know, this is how these things happen. Next thing I know, by the time I get home, there's a video, video me on stage. And it makes it seem like I support like, yeah, the most tragic thing. It was like, you'll edit that video. I'm working on material up here and it just gets taken out of context. And Speaker 1 (7:49) that makes a lot of sense. And I'm sorry, Bill, to not do you any favors here, but I didn't film anything. But he has such a like satire to the point that you don't. even know if he's joking about iran like he comes out the gate to start his set about iran and at first i was like is he being serious so yes and out of context that would look crazy with the things he was saying about iran um but the show was great it was really really really good they had um you know families of firefighters that passed on 9-11 introduced each comic obviously um john stewart again brought more awareness to you know new york city hiding for 25 years that there was cancer in the air yeah as we tried to save citizens right just so enough to pay for it listen man lol Speaker 2 (8:33) about it so many Speaker 1 (8:34) people never forget yeah how can i lost a lung um but no it was a really really good event i'm glad i'm glad we went peach had a flight so he couldn't come with us ryan backed out You know, that comedy is too racy for his generation. Yeah. He would have been very offended. Speaker 2 (8:52) He can't handle that. Those things, you know, he wasn't even alive for 9-11. He doesn't get it. He doesn't understand. It's Speaker 1 (8:59) so Speaker 2 (8:59) crazy. He doesn't understand. I Speaker 1 (9:00) watched the documentary on Netflix. It's on my queue. I'm going to watch it this week. I didn't want to watch it this weekend. It was too... Out my window, I can see the Speaker 2 (9:08) lights. I didn't want to watch it on my TV and Speaker 1 (9:11) see the lights Speaker 2 (9:12) at the same time. It was too much. But I started watching it. Speaker 2 (9:16) But to Ryan not being born at 9-11, that's what a lot of it was about. It was about, you know, people who are now adults who were either like really young when 9-11 happened, didn't understand what was going on. They talked to some people that, you know, weren't even alive, some students and things like that, that they just are taught about it and they hear about it. It is just so crazy to see that. you know young adults 25 26 years old that really don't remember 9-11 and to hear them talking about how you know in school they're just seeing videos and it's like damn is that our pearl harbor like Speaker 1 (9:50) is that our it's it's the for sure the most i don't need the word important but the biggest thing of my childhood by far and i i don't even think you could compare anything close to it for you it must have been a little crazier too because i was in sixth grade So, yes, I remember life before 9-11. Yeah. But a majority of my upbringing was post 9-11 world. You were 21. So like you had a hope the entire world changed. Speaker 2 (10:15) No, I was before I was 20. I was 20. That was two weeks before my 21st birthday. But, yeah, there was, you know, it was definitely a day that, you know, looking back, everything kind of felt like. You know, you don't want to say you're scared. You don't want to seem scared. You don't want to panic. But in reality, we were all scared, didn't know what was going to happen next, didn't know what was going on. Like, I'm living in the Bronx and I look up and see like fighter jets flying crazy, you know, in the sky. It's like that moment felt like, OK, like, you know, you see things in movies and on TV that happen around the world. And you never think that'll happen here. Speaker 1 (10:56) Yeah. Like Speaker 2 (10:56) especially New York. New Yorkers, we have this arrogance. We're untouchable. We're invincible. For sure. Nothing will ever happen in New York. You know, maybe stabbing on the subway, you know, shooting somewhere in Times Square. Parfait, of course. Yeah. You never think a terrorist attack happens in New York. So, you know, that that 9-11 was definitely the moment looking back where I think everybody kind of was like, oh, no, it can it can happen. Speaker 1 (11:20) Yeah. And we're going to use it to change everything that you. find normal in life. Yeah. Speaker 2 (11:24) More Speaker 1 (11:25) or less. Speaker 2 (11:25) We'll start charging you more and you know, your airline ticket for TSA security. Yeah. Even though that was 25 years ago. Like how much did that help the security at the airports? Like, why are you charging me $11 every time I purchase a ticket? And you pay Speaker 1 (11:39) the TSA security. Like what does that even mean? Like we were. not even outraged at the Patriot Act because it kind of made sense. Like, all right, we're all terrified. We think this radical Islamic group at the time was doing all these things. Which Speaker 2 (11:55) is Speaker 1 (11:55) crazy. When you look at the documentaries, you'll be like, okay, what? It's crazy, man. It's crazy. All of the things looking back. That's the one thing of like, not only was it bad, but remember how unified we were? I was like, eh. Speaker 2 (12:10) It's silly. I'm telling you, that doc is crazy. The doc that I'm really looking forward to, and I say this all the time, is 20 years after COVID. Oh, yeah, that'll be that documentary is going to be the one of the craziest documentaries we probably will ever see. Speaker 1 (12:25) Also, because 9-11, yes, I still 25 years later still see footage I've never seen. But for the most part, it is just different angles of the same two towers. And then it's footage of. Bush going into Afghanistan, Iraq. We've gotten the same footage. COVID, we all had this. Right. There is going to be so much crazy footage. Speaker 2 (12:47) It's Speaker 1 (12:47) so much Speaker 2 (12:47) footage. It is so much footage that we are going to have to watch and be like, we actually lived through that. Speaker 1 (12:53) Everyone kept a video diary that we posted. It's going to be insane. Insanity. That's the one I'm looking for. I'm looking forward to that documentary. I don't even know how you do that, Doc. With the amount of stuff you have, how do you even... Put that together. It's probably an eight part. They're starting now. Four Speaker 2 (13:09) in 20 years. It's an eight part doc for sure. It's got to be eight episodes of that. Speaker 1 (13:15) I've never seen footage of the Wuhan laugh. Oh, wait. You wait and see. You just wait and see. I have seen a Speaker 2 (13:26) plane somehow fly into the Pentagon, but I have not seen. You wait and see. You wait until you see Speaker 1 (13:32) the inside of Wuhan. Speaker 1 (13:34) Well, yes. I don't want to say happy 9-11, but want to remember everyone that was affected by 9-11. Yes. It was definitely a heavy week, specifically for New Yorkers, but the entire country. Well, Speaker 2 (13:49) New York this week didn't care about 9-11. I mean, they got the lights that go up where the towers were, but it was the U.S. Open. It was Fashion Week. Bryson Tiller was here. Like, you know what I mean? Like Dave Chappelle and Nikki Glaser and Shane Gillis with the guard. Like it was, I get it, but it was like people weren't, you know, everybody kind of just looked up and said a little, you know, salute and kept going. Speaker 1 (14:15) Which is good because I remember like 2002, anytime I'd be waiting in line, whether it be to go to a football game with my dad, any line, my dad would start screaming, the terrorists are winning. Yeah. Screaming. I was so embarrassed. Every time we had to wait in a line or do anything, my dad would scream, scream for everybody to hear the terrorists are winning. Every time. So it is nice that we're not letting the terrorists win. And we are moving on with life, still honoring everyone that was affected. But we are still enjoying how amazing the city is and not letting the terrorists win. Terrorists will not win. Not here. Not in New York City. Won't happen. Speaker 1 (14:59) But I was in the garden twice. I went for the 9-11 thing. Speaker 2 (15:02) Yo, Speaker 1 (15:02) you've been collecting stubs this summer. Yeah. I got a lot of Speaker 2 (15:06) little stickies on my leg. Summer of 26, when you look back 20 years from now, your summer 26 scrapbook is going to be crazy. I started doing that. You saw Jay-Z. You saw Dave Speaker 1 (15:17) Chappelle. You saw Bryson Tiller. I started doing that a long time ago. I have a, like, it's not organized, but I have a bag of, like, just, like, tickets and shit. Yeah. Just to remember. Yeah. Those things. But yeah. I found Speaker 2 (15:30) my All-Star game ticket. Oh, where? In 2001. The greatest All-Star game ever. NBA 2001. Greatest All-Star game ever. That was when T-Mac threw it off the backboard? Yes, I believe so. Then that was by far the best. That's when the East came back. Yeah. I rescinded the shoe under his arm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that was probably the greatest. In D.C. Greatest All-Star game. And that was before. That was year nine. That was February. Before 9-11. When the world was still a little, you know. Yeah. No, that was Speaker 1 (15:55) definitely the best. Speaker 2 (15:56) The greatest. I found that ticket. I still have that ticket. That's probably one of my few things in my memory where I'm like, that's special. Speaker 1 (16:03) Hell yeah. Yep. That T-Mac one right there. That ticket right there. Yeah, there you go. Yeah. I'm sure that's on YouTube. I have to just go sit and put that on the big screen and re-watch that All-Star game. Yeah. But no, that's cool that you still have that. And I didn't even know I had Speaker 2 (16:17) it. My mom has it. I didn't even know I had that. She has a scrapbook. And I was looking. I was like, what the? I didn't even know you had this. Where did you find this? I was cleaning up your room. I was like, okay, thanks. Okay, thanks. Speaker 1 (16:34) Oh, I have to. My mom did one of those, too. And I have a big bucket of, like, all my old video games. Yeah. I have, like, NFL Game Day 98 and shit. I'm going to bring them in for, like, a Patreon. Yeah. I have, like, every Tony Hawk Pro Skater. I got a bunch of old Super Nintendo games. Yeah. That could just be fun to just go through shit on a Patreon one day. Yeah. But, yeah. Went last night, Sunday night, to the Bryson Tiller Show, the Neo Soul Trap Tour. Speaker 1 (17:02) My guy Austin opened up. He's doing the entire tour. Also had Ty, Majid Jordan, and then obviously Bryson Tiller. It was in there, man. I didn't realize how many young fans Bryson Tiller has. Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Kids with... I was laughing at Austin because Austin is by far our most famous friend now. And he's turned into an international dance DJ. I don't think Austin has listened to hip-hop in 10 years. Speaker 2 (17:29) Yeah. Good for Austin. He's not missing much. He's having a blast. See what happens when you don't Speaker 1 (17:35) listen to hip hop. He Speaker 2 (17:35) was Speaker 1 (17:35) in Speaker 2 (17:35) the Montauk last week. Yeah, life gets better. I'm telling you, life gets better when you stop listening to Speaker 1 (17:39) hip Speaker 2 (17:40) hop. Speaker 1 (17:41) I'm telling you, the hotels are way different. Yeah, Speaker 2 (17:43) yeah, yeah. Speaker 1 (17:44) 100%. Absolutely. So Austin, again, like he's... super famous on tick tock for like his dance remixes and like austin's a dj for real like he'll sit there with the mpc while he's djing yeah with all the dance stuff so he his show is is really great but this is an r b show so in utah where they kicked it off austin tried to get his dance set off and the whole crowd was like no no so austin had to dig into his palooza folder Every song was from 2016. Yeah. It's probably the last time Austin listened to hip hop. Yeah. And you know Speaker 2 (18:17) what's crazy about that is you can't play none of the music of the artists that are performing at that show. Like Austin can't play no Bryson. Speaker 1 (18:25) No. And so. He can't play no Ty Dolly. He can't play no Majid. And on top of that, we were going through like just his set in the green room and Leon Thomas walked by and I was like, well, there goes all your mutt remixes. Speaker 1 (18:42) Take those out of your set. Yeah, you can't play Speaker 2 (18:45) none of that shit. Like, damn, see? That's the whack part about being on a great tour as a DJ. You can't play none of the artist's music. Speaker 1 (18:54) party shit went crazy. And Austin every now and then would start to get a little itch. You could see it. Like he'd start to get a little bored of just like playing Bobby Shmurda and then he'd get over there and start remixing shit. And it was like, nope, you're losing the crowd. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have to Speaker 2 (19:08) do that. Not in the garden. He had, Speaker 1 (19:10) not, what's the dance Drake album? Why am I blanking? Honestly, Nevermind. No, the newest one. Oh, Maid of Honor? Maid of Honor. He got some Maid of Honor shit off when he was- Is it Maid of Honor or Habibi? Habib T is the more R &B one. That's the more R &B one? That stuff worked, but your party, all the party records went insane. Okay. But Bryson was great. He literally did Trap Soul from front to back. Speaker 2 (19:35) And Speaker 1 (19:36) as someone that has a lot of stickers on their leg, I say this confidently, the loudest I've ever heard The Garden was J. Cole KO Detour. This was, I have never been to a show where the crowd screamed every lyric from the beginning of a set to the end. I didn't hear Bryson. Bryson could have literally not performed. Yeah. For all I know. Yeah. I've never seen a crowd, any artist, Hov, Drake, anyone put on a show where everyone screamed every single word. He did traps all front to back. It was insane. Speaker 2 (20:11) Sean Romano. I didn't even know the show was happening. I spoke to Sean Sunday or yesterday and he told me and I was like, oh shit. And I thought for a second to hit Bryson. Yeah, that's why I saw Bryson. But I was Speaker 1 (20:21) like, nah, I'm not going. Not day of. He said hello. But we had, I mean, Austin, he's on Bill. Speaker 2 (20:27) Yeah, but I was just like, you know, sat that one out. But I've seen Bryson early in his career. I can imagine now. I mean, his catalog has grown so much. Speaker 1 (20:37) He had, I noticed it because I'm a nerd. He had a lot of, like with the state set design, a lot of like odes to that first Trap Soul tour. Remember when he had like the two lights? Yeah. He did that like all the way around the garden too. Like you could tell he was doing like callbacks to that tour. Because that tour was one of the craziest tours ever. That's dope. Shout out Bryson Tiller, friend of the show. Penn Griffey. I mean, we have to have a Trap Soul combo at some point. And maybe we can tie it into our Jhene conversation when Damaris gets back, because I do want to talk about the Jhene album, but we may need a bitter woman in the room to help us with that combo. But I think the same way we talked about Jhene being a legend, that Trap Soul album has a million kids. Oh, yeah. That's like... Well, we Speaker 2 (21:26) talked Speaker 1 (21:26) about Speaker 2 (21:26) that one, Bryce. To Speaker 1 (21:26) me, that's Speaker 2 (21:27) like Speaker 1 (21:27) modern day R &B's TM-101. Yeah. Like that's really what that is to me. But Speaker 2 (21:33) I mean, when we had Bryson, I think we kind of spoke to that, though. Yeah. He refused Speaker 1 (21:36) to hear us. He doesn't want. I mean, Bryson is very humble. He doesn't want, Speaker 2 (21:39) you know, he doesn't want to accept. Well, he wants to accept his flowers. He just is shy when you try to hand it to him. But he understands that his that trap. So what it did just for R &B and the sound and the generation of other artists and sounds that it birthed and created. Like he's very aware of what that did. Speaker 1 (21:57) Yeah. He brought A Boogie out. King stays the king, man. Boogie, when Kehlani brought him out, Barclays erupted, Madison Square Garden, everyone fucking nuts for A Boogie. Another Bronx legend? He then brought out another Bronx legend. I was surprised with how young the crowd was that just to ad-lib, turn the fucking mic on. went crazy and everyone knew that Fat Joe was coming out. He did What's Love and then he did Lean Back, New York classic. Oh, come on. Staple. And I think because Fat Joe is a father, he's older now. He did the edited, he did the radio version. Never seen anyone do the radio version at a live show. Maybe because he thought there were younger kids, he was going to do the Lean Back clean. He said his people don't dance. They just pull up the pants. Speaker 2 (22:52) Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Fat Joe. No, man. Speaker 1 (23:02) No, no, no, no, no. Speaker 1 (23:07) Oh, it was the topic of conversation in the crowd, even with strangers. Everyone peeped immediately that Fat Joe changed the lyrics to the hook on Lean Back and said his people do not dance. They just pull up their pants. I didn't think about that part of it because Speaker 2 (23:25) everybody's upset that Fat Joe says the N-word. Speaker 2 (23:30) But he seemed like he was standing on it. And, you know, we from New York, so we understand it. Not from people outside of New York. They can, you know, they get offended if, you know, you're not a black person and you used N-word. But Fat Joe said he's black. He's the blackest in the room. Blackest nigga you've ever seen. He said that. And now he's on stage and he won't say, my niggas don't dance. He says, my people. That's almost worse. I felt Speaker 1 (23:58) like they included me. Don't Speaker 2 (24:00) call me people. I'm not people. I'm a nigga. He said, you people don't. Oh, what people? You people don't dance. Who Speaker 1 (24:12) is you people? Fat Joe. What is worse? If he continues to say the N word or says you people don't dance. Fat Joe, nah, man. We from the Bronx, nigga. Nah, nah, nah, Speaker 2 (24:22) nah, nah. You can't say my people don't dance. No. Hey, culture. I'm a black man. Can I speak to the culture? We got to allow Fat Joe to say my niggas don't dance. We can't take that. How about this? How about we allow Fat Joe to say the N-word on stage only? Maybe not on his podcast. Joe and Jada, he can't say it in front of Jada no more. He can't say it on other platforms. But on stage, we got to let Fat Joe say the N-word. I don't want to hear lean back and hear Fat Joe. My people don't dance. I don't want to hear that. It doesn't hit the same. The Bronx will never be the same if Fat Joe can't say the N-word. The Yankees will never win another pennant if Fat Joe can't say the N-word. Nah, we can't do this to Joey Crack. Not Joey Crack. Not Don Carter Gina. We cannot do this, man. As a Bronx representative, as a Bronx veteran, I cannot allow y'all to take the N-word away from Fat Joe while he's on stage. In conversation, in the streets, just chilling. Okay, if y'all want him to not say it there, cool. But we can't take it out of Fat Joe's Speaker 1 (25:30) music. We can't. It's too much. It was just, and again, as a white, I was outside looking in. I'm a white that's trying to learn. I know my place. So I didn't have any comments on the entire thing, but it was very funny to watch. It's not like a few people in the crowd peeped it. Like the whole crowd kind of sighed when he started the hook. Everyone was like, oh man. No, Fat Joe. Speaker 2 (25:51) Hey, nah, fuck that. Nah, I'm holding a Joe down. Listen, man, because I see a lot of y'all out here who say y'all still listen to R. Kelly. Separate the men from the music. Well, separate the skin tone from the word. Separate the skin tone from the word when it comes to Fat Joe. Like we not doing that. Some of y'all nasties, y'all still listen to R. Kelly. Y'all still got him on y'all playlist. Y'all still want him to do a verses. All kind of shit.

I don't want to hear people lean. I'm not here for people lean. I'm not here for Speaker 1 (26:59) it. Which, uh, it was late registration. That's what it was. I went to late registration tour in like 2004 or whatever it was and Gold Digger played and Kanye West said to the entire crowd. white people, this is your only time you're allowed to use the N-word and the place erupted with the hook. Yeah, man. Fuck that. Fat Joe Speaker 2 (27:22) can say that on stage. If the Speaker 1 (27:24) whites can get that off in 04 for Gold Digger. Speaker 2 (27:26) Yeah, like, come on, man. Come on, don't do that to Fat Joe. Don't make him edit his entire catalog. You're going to make him do the Taylor Swift thing where she had to recut all the songs? Y'all going to make Fat Joe recut all of his songs? Can you imagine Fat Joe Speaker 1 (27:40) redoing his whole catalog without the N-word? Come Speaker 2 (27:42) on, man.
