Rory discusses growing up a problem child, taking the Peter Pan bus by himself up and down the East Coast, drinking heavily in high school, miraculously receiving a college scholarship for running track, being an Irish kid in a traditionally African-American fraternity, getting kicked out of school twice, and finding himself through an internship at Def Jam. Rory shares an amazing stories about Kanye playing Def Jam My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy for the first time, the original name of the album, the original vision for the album, and his over-the-top presentation. We discuss Joe Budden's game nights, booking Drake for a college performance, sitting in an office cubicle across from Lyor Cohen, producing a game show for MTV, shooting music videos for The-Dream, Fabolous, Ludacris, and so much more!

Hey, Jeff. Hey, Eric. How are you? I'm pretty good. How are you? Doing phenomenally. I'll say that right from the jump. We released our debut album, Teddy Bear Fresh, on Friday. And every day since then has been filled with the most wonderful compliments on a project that we had been sitting on for three years. And you know, you don't know what to expect from everyone people could hate it people could

0:21.3

like it people could really like it what's crazy is that we didn't really get any hate no and that's

0:26.2

really nice um not that we're welcoming a lot of hate right now but like i was shocked like you know

0:31.8

every single day until putting out the album i thought this could go one of two ways and it went

0:36.9

a third way, which was

0:38.2

even better than you thought. Really, really, really positive. So the people who have listened to it,

0:43.2

shouts to you for listening to it. Please keep listening to it. People who have not, please do click.

0:48.5

Just give it a shot. Yeah. You know, that's all we ask. It's funny. Right. It's the same thing

0:52.2

as like heroin, you know. The first, the first track features Angie Martinez and Just Blaze and Combat Jack and Scott Rigowski and Sway. And I think it sets the tone for the entire album. This is a, it's a real album. We've been telling people it's, it's a, it's an album filled with clever songs that are wrapped really well

1:14.7

with phenomenal production, and it's just a good project.

1:18.2

So press play, you guys let us know what you think.

1:20.7

And we've had a really positive response.

1:22.7

We went to Henny Palooza.

1:24.1

I know we have Rory from Henny Palooza on the podcast today from the Joe Button podcast. And we do talk about the invitation that they've had to us over the years to go to Henny Palooza. We did go to Henny Palooza. So when we talk on the podcast about the invite and that we hadn't taken it, we took it. We had a great time out there and ran into a lot of people, some of whom we knew,

1:44.9

some of whom we didn't know, who really, really fuck with the album. So, guys, go on Spotify and

1:51.9

iTunes and Pandora and Apple Music and SoundCloud. It's on SoundCloud. On YouTube, anywhere you can

2:00.0

find it, press play and share it with everybody you know. Really, if you like it, spread the word. That's the best thing for us. We think it's a grower. And thank you once again to everybody who has let us know in person that this album was something that they really enjoyed. Okay.

Yeah, Willie. Shout out to Willie. Yeah, but this guy, he's new. Yep. So he's outside of the building Friday night. You had already told him that we were like musicians or something. Yeah, he got a heads up from one of our doorman that we had an album coming out. And he had talked to me and said, yo, I love music. You hear me singing around and we do. So I'm really looking forward to this project. And he showed me his phone. He was like, this is how much I love music.
