Ep.284 | Black Billionaires Debate, Asap Rocky Album, First Date Debate, NBA on Xmas, NFL + More!

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,.
