Episode 334 | Fighting Irish

We’re back, fresh off of public transportation because who the f&!# is paying NYC congestion pricing?! In this economy?! After Rory gives us a brief recap of going out to twirl his cane for his frat’s founders day, we get into the controversy that’s been running the internet all weekend - Joy Taylor, Skip Bayless, and the lawsuit against FS1 (14:14). Some things we believe, some we don’t, and some we can’t seem to agree on. Liangelo Ball has a viral song on his hands, so if you’ve heard our Patreon episode from yesterday, it seems Rory ACTUALLY deserves some flowers this time (48:45). Speaking of viral songs, Drake is back in the headlines and back in (some of) our hearts after a planned leak of a song he had seemingly dissing Drake has surfaced online (55:40). The team gives their honest opinions, does a slight lyric breakdown, and has some theories on who else might have caught a stray. Unlike Drake, Kanye isn’t standing on business in his beef with Kai Cenat, which seems to have been solved with a post alluding to a rollout for a new project (1:22:50). Mal is standing on his assumption that it will be AI, and the team is split on whether AI will ruin music and whether Kanye will be the artist to spearhead that. Lil Baby’s album isn’t exactly garnering rave reviews - and the NRM cast is not here to disagree (1:38:00). Do you agree with them that this was Lil’ Baby’s last chance to dial up his relevancy again? Also discussed: a blatant post from Gunna’s lawyer claiming his innocence (1:53:15), a rapper/idiot almost shooting himself and a podcast team (1:58:20), two voicemails asking for our advice on instances where the women are putting the men to shame (2:05:04), + more!
