Joe said hes happy theres another little brother album for him to get to and they all applauded phonte’s verse on “Sitting Alone” when rory played it. They all said great things but you can tell Rory especially felt a way about it.
I feel like Joe has been a bit reluctant to praise Phonte/LB compared to Rory and Parks (does Mal even know about them?). I remember a previous episode when Rory was talking about Phonte's last solo album, and Joe kind of moved on rapidly.
