On the 290th episode of the MalloryBrosPodcast, the Bros start with a realization that all of you who have been watching us for weeks, months and even YEARS have collected so much information on them and seen so many moments that you're basically FAMILY. So Welcome back FAM, of course the Bros start with Recap of the weekend. Terrance reflects on a big weekend of watching Boxing with Ryan Garcia and Claressa Sheilds leading to back to back fight nights. Terrell reflects on a trip to Mike's with the family and preparing for another snowfall on the east coast. Some of you are watching this under SNOW as you read this. Anyway, the Bros start things off recaping Baby Keem's newest project "Ca$ino" that dropped this past weekend. Coming off a Grammy Nominated "The Melodic Blue" the Bros speak on how he delievered a solid proeject that fell a little short of their expectations on first listen. The also talk about how the project has improved on second listen, but people online seem to be split on Kendrick Lamar's feature on the project. This sparks a big conversation about Kendrick's influence on the public reception to the album and Terrance starts a conversation on how these days you really can't have an opinon. In his words, "you're either like it or SHUT UP". The Bros have a good CONTROLLED back and fourth about this but ultimately agree .. these days, giving even your OPINION takes some heavy considersation before letting fly. Next the Bros talk about the recent viral situation at the BAFTA Awards where a man with Tourettes syndrome yells the N Word in the middle of the ceremoney as Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo present the first award of the night. It was a horrible situation for eveeryone involved and thanks to the broadcast not being edited or cut like it COULD HAVE ... this set social media on fire. The Bros have a great conversation about the situation, educating each other on the seriousness of Tourettes Syndrome and understanding the "Coprolalia" that comes with it while also focusing on the DISRESPECT that CAN'T be overlooked because of the disability. This is what made this situation one out of a movie. It's a good convo! The Bros talk about the crazy situation in Mexico with the death of a Cartel leader and the mayhem happening throughout because of it. Next, the Bros discuss the recent passing of Eric Dane, a beloved actor from Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria who died from a short battle with ALS. The guys discuss this haunting disease and the speed of it and turn the conversation into one about showing up and making moments count. NETFLIX has announced that we're getting Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Paquiao 2 in Septmember this year. This comes a week after Floyd announced he was fighting Mike Tyson in Exhibition, and UN-retiring to purse a big event. The Bros discuss the Sport of Boxing and how it's seemlingly honoring the money more than the sport. The biggest question is are they wrong if we all are tuning in and it's keeping boxing exciting? Lastly, the bros talk about the late passing of Rondale Moore, a 25 year old NFL Wide Reciever who took his life this past week. This is the most important part of the podcast episode. The bros talk about mental health and it's importance, but more importantly they discuss how they deal with their OWN mental health in moments current and past and share a strategy you can use with you friends and family that might REALLY help.

He breaks down how reading the number two-nine in Episode 290 feels like the stars aligning.

The Bros are back in person and the vibes are high. The Snow is melting but 2026 is heating up in a good and bad ways. The Bros first discuss their lengthy Weekend Recap trying to survive the ice and being fathers, spending time with family and tapping into new Music. The first conversation is about J Cole’s new “Birthday Blizzard” freestyle he dropped last week and some of the controversial things that came from those records. Terrance and Terrell both share a favorite of the four, and discuss if somebody should respond to J Cole and the possibility of him sliding bars Kendrick’s way. A good conversation but you know how they get with that sensitive topic. This is all before diving into their thoughts on the 2026 Grammy Awards. A MALLORY BROS PODCAST MUTHAFUCKIN TRADITION! They’ve been making predictions all year and the winners are finally chosen. Of course they chop it and dive deep into trending opinions from Grammy night like the hate that Olivia Dean received after winning best new artist, Kendrick Lamar & SZA Wins, Leon Thomas & Kehlani R&B, Bad Bunny Wins the Big One AOTY, Clipse coming up short to Kendrick Lamar’s GNX for Best Rap Album over Clipse and Terrance even make’s a point that the Clipse seemed to be living in Pharrell’s shadow. EVERYTHING IS A LOT. Next, the Bros talk about how the Hip Hop World froze when an Epstein file dropped including the names of Jayz and Pusha T. They discuss the seriousness of knowing the legality of these claims while also pointing out the very obvious contradictions and hesitations to cover this story from other media outlets. This news has Hip Hop in a pinch. Terrell says “The only choice is to just wait.” Next the Terrance has a list of actors/actresses he found that he says were PERFECT for a role, but didn’t get the part.

On this snowed-in virtual episode of The MalloryBros. Podcast, the guys kick things off with a weekend recap, including preparing for the storm, getting snowed in, and the chaos of the grocery hunt. They then address the continued tragedy in Minnesota at the hands of ICE before shifting gears to the freshly announced Oscar nominations. The conversation begins with the new nominees, then zeroes in on Sinners, which broke the nomination record with 16 nods. The Bros share theories on why, despite the historic showing, it may still fall short of winning the biggest awards.
From there, the discussion turns to Kanye’s written apology and why it is valid for people to still feel hesitant about rushing back to support him. This opens up a deeper conversation about parasocial relationships, fandom, and how community loyalty can sometimes pressure fans into forgiving their favorites for anything out of fear of losing that shared space.
The guys also break down A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb, where they feel Rocky missed the mark on his return from hiatus. To wrap it up, Terrell reacts to the Broncos’ loss, Terrance celebrates the Seahawks’ win with A-Train, and the Bros give their Super Bowl predictions.

On this episode of the MalloryBros Podcast, the Bros start with J. Cole’s album announcement and his new track “The Inevitable,” setting expectations for what’s coming next. That conversation naturally opens the door to a real debate about the Big 3 in Hip Hop — whether that label still holds weight or if the culture has already moved on. From there, the Bros talk about Kai Cenat’s recent viral moments online, discussing how quickly public perception can shift and how easily narratives and morals change once the coast is clear. The conversation touches on intent, criticism, and the reality of being under constant public scrutiny. The episode also dives into Druski’s viral church skit, questioning where the line is in comedy and whether his success has put him in a different category than his peers. The Bros discuss his style, his influence, and what separates him from the rest of the comedy space right now. Terrell presses Terrance on his thoughts about Trae Young and the Washington Wizards, before the conversation takes a lighter turn into video game soundtrack nostalgia and how certain music instantly brings you back. Later, the Bros talk about a viral social media breakup, the role online attention plays in relationships, and how public perception can outweigh real-life context. They also touch on a more serious topic involving a missing spouse, before closing the episode with NFL playoff reactions and their AFC and NFC Championship picks.

On this episode of the Mallory Bros Podcast, the guys kick things off with a recap of Christmas morning, talking gifts, family time, being with the kids, and everything that comes with the holidays. That conversation naturally turns into a bigger question: is the Christmas magic gone? From there, the bros debate whether it’s acceptable to bring a gaming console to the birth of your child after a tweet from Terrell went viral and sparked heavy discussion online. They then shift to serious news, reacting to Anthony Joshua’s tragic accident in Nigeria, paying respect to those who lost their lives, and unpacking the circumstances surrounding the event. Next up, the guys talk about A$AP Rocky announcing a January release date for his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb—hopefully. They discuss whether the album will actually drop, what to expect creatively, and how Rocky’s sound may evolve years after his prime run. The conversation then turns to Beyoncé officially becoming a billionaire, which opens a deeper discussion about wealth, ethics, and whether billionaires should be celebrated. That leads into a debate about dating etiquette: is it ever okay to ask for a box on the first date? Terrell pushes back on the idea that it signals financial instability and offers a different perspective. The two clash ideas here. Terrance then asks whether it’s an underrated blessing to be with a woman who doesn’t post on Instagram, following another trending conversation online. The episode wraps with a Cheers to 2026, as the bros share reflections on the year, personal resolutions, and goals for the Realest 9 moving forward. They close with thoughts on Draymond Green's take on playing NBA games on Christmas, some NFL talk as we prep for the last game of the season, and a small but common JD5 debate to take us out,.

This week on the podcast the Bros are back to finish off the Christmas holiday with the family, kicking things off with their weekly weekend recap. That includes Terrance hosting a close friend and serving some very underwhelming wings, and Terrell unfortunately spending money on his car this holiday season, which he is not happy about at all. The Bros decided to wear matching quarter zips for this episode, so visual podcast watchers will definitely have a moment with this one. Think of it as the only gift the Bros could give you outside of the podcast itself. Of course the episode still launches with WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, now paired perfectly with the matching sweaters. The conversation moves into the Bros talking about how excited they are to expand their Patreon content, specifically reacting to movies and television. They believe people will really enjoy watching content with them, not just listening. Next, the Bros dive into Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, the Netflix event that took over the weekend and opened a larger conversation about the next level of entertainment and what creators are willing to do to reach it. And of course, they talk about Jake’s broken jaw. From there, the Bros speak on Netflix bringing podcasts to its platform after recently striking a deal with iHeartMedia. They get into whether this move signals a real expansion of the podcast wave or if Netflix is simply taking advantage of the current moment. Only time will tell. The conversation then shifts to Nicki Minaj’s recent appearance and how she’s perceived completely differently now, even though there may have been writing on the wall. That leads into a discussion about being a woman’s first nice guy and why that role is not for the weak. Terrance also makes a hot take on women rappers being able to sustain relationships while maintaining their rap image. And of course, the most talked about topic on the timeline this past week, 21 Savage’s tweets starting a “fuck the streets” movement. The Bros debate authenticity and intention. Is this really about the streets, or is it just petty hip hop beef? What are the intentions and what’s next? The Bros don’t have all the details, but they don’t hold back. “We poddin’,” Terrance says. Lastly, the Bros talk about the death of the modern comedy film and how it’s shifted into a more superhero and satirical lane that focuses on politics and safe jokes rather than freely trying to get laughs. Terrell brings up Dave Chappelle’s new stand up as a perfect example of the old way of comedy that doesn’t seem to fit in the film world today, maybe for good reason. Another week with the Bros. Merry f’n Christmas and happy holidays.
