Happy Thanksgiving NRM fam! Mal sets up a vegan Thanksgiving dinner for Rory and Demaris as the crew reflects on what they are thankful for in 2025 #volume All lines provided by hardrock.betSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s a winter vortex headed our way for the holiday, but we still got work to do. Rory and Demaris had a run in with a legend at the Brandy and Monica concert. Complex listed their best albums of the century so far, and Rory ain’t mad at it. Mal might have a problem with their pick for the number one album though. WhoSampled was acquired by Spotify, but Mal got an autistic friend who could single handedly do the work themselves. Plus, Rory and Mal didn’t know Rich Da Kid had game like THAT, Julez Santana probably can’t read the description to this episode, and a caller wants to know all about living in NYC #volume All lines provided by hardrock.betSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on New Rory & Mal, Mal says New Edition is better than Boyz II Men and the Jackson 5, Demaris is feelin' Summer Walker's new project "Finally Over It", Wale claims he's never trusting a rapper again after J. Cole released “False Prophets” after a conversation they had, and Rory, Mal, and Demaris figure out when it's appropriate for women to shoot their shot. #volume All lines provided by hardrock.bet  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rory and Mal check in with De La Soul and talk the history of the group, their new project with Mass Appeal, and the art of sampling #volume All lines provided by hardrock.betSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Usually we got a guest for y'all on Thursdays, but this week we're flipping the schedule. Seasonal depression is real, but we got you with a new episode earlier in the week than usual. Usher suing Bryan-Michael Cox has Rory interrogating Mal about DVSN's "If I Get Caught" music video and where the funds came from. There is no reason why anybody should be throwing down at a Leon Thomas concert. Mal translates for Wale 'cause he wasn't standing ten toes down during his Breakfast Club interview. Plus, Mal thinks New Edition might be the greatest music group of all-time, but can they win a Verzuz against the Jackson 5? #volume All lines provided by hardrock.betSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Mal and Peeje shut down the studio after our mixer Friday night, we’re back in-studio. Mal thinks Wale dropped a gem, and Demaris says Summer Walker is 3 for 3. “It Is What It Is” is about to get a bit more petty if Max B hops on as a regular. Rory and Mal debate who would win a Verzuz between Tony Yayo and Memphis Bleek. Mal doesn’t understand the backlash Pusha T is receiving for his IG caption announcing his 2nd child. Plus, Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul might be the final time anyone cares about a Jake Paul fight, and should women approaching men be the norm? #volume All lines provided by hardrock.betSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Week on New Rory & Mal, Kendrick Lamar will probably sweep the Grammy's, Kim Kardashain fails the Bar Exam so we try to take it ourselves, and Jhene Aiko addresses the rumors that her and Big Sean have called it quits #volume All lines provided by hardrock.betSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Off rip we address the elephant in the room. Rory apologizes for how he acted on Twitter Spaces, and Mal has his back. Then, does Kevin Gates deserve the heat he’s getting for dating younger women? Rory and Mal give Big Sean props for sticking up for Jhene despite not addressing the rumor that they’re broken up. Demaris has more questions about Klay Thompson. Plus, Mal gives a shoutout to Jade Cargill for becoming WWE Women’s Champion, and a caller wants no parts of his wife’s friend’s drama #volume All lines provided by hardrock.betSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been a few days since The Grammy’s released their nominations, but we got y’all. It looks like Leon Thomas might sweep up all the R&B categories. Rory thinks Clipse should bag a Grammy or two, but Mal knows the committee already has their mind made up. Max B is finally out, and the hood showed up for him. Outkast was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Rory approved of all the tribute performances…except for one. Summer Walker’s new project drops Friday, and her rollout is genius. Diddy got caught drinking in prison, and we don’t blame him. We don’t shame Kim K for failing the BAR, cause we just tried and that sh*t wasn’t easy. Plus, the guys send their representatives to answer our voicemail #volume All lines provided by hardrock.betSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
