We're back fresh off one of the better weekends for music in 2025. Rory and Mal stamp Clipse's "Let God Sort 'Em Out" one of the best albums of the year...even if there is one thing Mal would change (14:40). Rory has high praise for Justin Bieber's latest project "Swag" despite having one of the worst album names of all-time (35:30). Mal had FOMO watching Drake pull out all the stops for Wireless Fest (43:45). Las Vegas looks to adopt "Uno" as a new casino game which has Demaris wondering what rules will the house play by (58:22). Plus, that really was Klay Thompson in the background of Megan Thee Stallion's IG post (1:20:30), Bleacher Report's 100 Greatest NBA Players list lost their minds leaving Kobe out the Top 10 (1:25:35), and our voicemail sparks the "Who is allowed to say the 'n word' and when?" debate.

Episode 389 | SeaWorld
After debating if we would date a partner who has a dead ex (9:48), Mal airs out Love Island for being trash (14:33). Then, we go further off the rails taking issue with SeaWorld using hip-hop to become culture vultures (41:04). While we figure out if Nicki Minaj has a point about Jay-Z (47:30), Rory tries to do the math on Scott Storch blowing $100M on just partying (57:08). Plus, Demaris thinks "John Q' is a "black" movie (1:12:00), and we get disrespectful after our voicemail (1:32:00) #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JID got a verse from Eminem and said "nah"...not sure if anyone has done that before (30:15). Rory & Mal think Skepta really doesn't want this smoke from the USA (44:58).
