Summary

First off, shoutout to us for reaching episode 400. We got an update on Lil Nas X, and Rory and Mal start to wonder if this was a humiliation ritual (16:18). A check in on DJ Khalid leads to a discussion on if the music industry is cooked and if artists like Rihanna and Jay-Z will ever drop an album again (24:55). Mal wonders if he's the right guy to review Cardi B's music (45:13). Drake is set to reappear on Bobbi Althoff's new podcast, but why won't he appear on New Rory & Mal? (54:19) Plus, Rory does some self reflection after watching the Jussie Smollett documentary (1:17:45), and a voicemail leads to a debate on what is and isn't appropriate blackmail (1:38:28) #volume
