Chapter 2: What happened at Ludlow House?
meant for alcohol to be consumed. And that's exactly what we talked about. Yeah, man, you know, just not drunk anymore.
He did that to me. He asked me what I wanted to drink, and I was like, oh, word. And then I was like, I would like tequila soda. And then he goes, one tequila soda, one club soda. I was like, clubbing what? He was like, I'm not drinking. I was like, why you got – don't offer me around if you're just drinking club soda, bro.
But that's the thing. And we talked about how awkward it is to be out –
in a club or in a you know social environment and not drinking it's like this was not there's none of this that we do socially was designed for people that are not drinking right like it's impossible to be in a club and enjoy yourself sober like that's why i'm glad you can smoke in the clubs now yeah because it's like i gotta be doing something like you know i mean and you can't order red wine even though i would like to do that like if i go to a club like bring some red bottles of red wine with the sparklers yeah why not i would do that i mean or just bring the wine
Like a flask? With no sparklers? No sparklers. No, but I'm just saying. No, I'm just saying, like, yo, bring me a whole bunch of Cabernets, like, with sparklers. Like, when you go to those clubs that are designed for bottle service now, like, that's their entire business plan.
Yeah. They never have good wine.
Because I usually try to order wine, and it's like, all right, I don't mind paying a little more to get something that I'd like, but you are giving me the $12 bottle of wine for the same price as... The Hennessy. Yeah. And it's like, all right, I don't need that. I'm fine. Give me a glass. Yeah. You're not about to charge me $80 for a $12 bottle of wine.
That's a good idea, but then, you know, you realize you got the fucking purple mouth all night. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's why you can't do red in a social situation. Yeah, because I remember we was going to the highlight room with Sean. Shout out to Sean. And we were leaving Wally's. And he was like, yo, I think I'm going to take some bottles of this Caymus.
Yeah.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of a middle school girl stealing money?
Listen, man. You know what I mean? I would do like the leg tat thing, but I'm so immature. I get uncomfortable when my barber is shaping me up sometimes when he's this close. I could never imagine like if I wanted to get my thighs done, like Grin would have to sit here. Yeah, like you have to spread your legs. Yeah, like he would just be on my thigh. Shaving your thigh. That too.
Got to find a female tattoo artist for that. There you go. I suppose, yeah. Find a female tattoo. Not to take no business away from Grin. I don't want to seem like I'm doing that, but... You know what I mean? Just find a female tattoo artist that's dope and let her do the thighs. Yeah, I'm with it. You got to get tattoos at some point. I think we've talked about that.
Ah, that window's closed, man. I'm 41, man. My first tat at 41. People are going to say, oh, he's going through a midlife crisis. You know that's what they're going to say.
Am I going to tat now?
Okay, well, everyone goes through some type of midlife crisis. That is true. It just depends on if it's a positive one or negative one. But you know, the only acceptable one in our culture is for me to just start dating really young girls. Wait, that's acceptable as a midlife crisis? Oh, yeah. You know that's acceptable. Well, it was. Kelly, he kind of ruined that for all of us. He wasn't dating.
Well, he was going at it drastically different in a... He wasn't a 40-year-old dating a 25-year-old. He was a 40-year-old trying to date a 15-year-old. Yeah. But it was a time... Do we want to talk about that? R. Kelly? Not R. Kelly. Fuck R. Kelly. But I vividly do remember being in high school and older guys picking up girls in my school. That was super regular.
Yeah, that was a... I'm like, yo, Shorty is in regular. She was 16. Homie is like 21. And now that's not... A five-year difference is not drastic. Still shouldn't be weird. But that was still weird. We talked about it before. Look at Belly. Tommy Bunz and, you know what I'm saying, Shorty, she was sucking them off. It was very regular.
Back then, nobody saw that movie and was like, oh, he's a pedophile. We was like, yo, Tommy Bunz is that nigga. And just because it was normal doesn't mean it was okay. No. It was very regular for...
dudes that was in their 20s to come to the high school to pick chicks up yeah that's what and they brag about it but that's what i'm saying teachers would hear it but that's why in the r kelly doc when they said he used to pick wait be at the high school like once he graduated like i'm like that was super like i didn't want to say it but i'm like bro that was regular when i was in high school listen like all the dudes picking up girls with the honda hatchbacks and the bmws i'm like that was regular shit yeah but still nasty nonetheless and

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Kendrick Lamar's evolution as an artist?
Yeah. Oh, was it? This was Steve Jobs, which I don't... Steve Jobs doesn't even really strike me as like the big U2 fan. I mean, he probably was. Oh, we have to put... We have to put this on every phone. Every phone. Yeah, who breached that deal? What if it was Zane Lowe? That's sick. That's sick if it was Zane Lowe. That's hilarious. I'm glad Bono apologized for that, though.
I feel like he still owes us one more apology, though. I thought you were about to say one more album. I was like, Jesus Christ, no. I mean, listen... I understand he's fed world hunger and all that shit, but I still... Well, I now forgive him since he apologized. We're straight on that one. I will never forgive him for saying catorce.
Uno.
Catorce.
Trace. Catorce.
I'll never forgive him. Catorce. You're an Irish rock singer.
Shut the fuck up. He went from three to 14 real quick.
Catorce? And he was counting into it when the beat came in. Catorce. And then I think he said Feliz Complianos or whatever at some point in that song when it wasn't my birthday. Oh my God. Yo, Rory, you are- Vertigo was a sick song. He did that, not me. I mean, I make my jokes about Eden, but I would never do this as an Irishman. Is Bono Irish? I don't even know. You should know. Come on.

Chapter 5: How does the discussion of recent album releases unfold?
If he's Irish, you don't know that? Bono's from, yes, he is from Dublin. I'm sorry, what was it? Dublin. Where? Dublin. Where? Dublin. Okay. Why does your voice just keep getting lower? Dublin. Dublin. Dublin. Dublin. Well, yes, we appreciate the apology. I feel like music should happen. Oh, 10-year anniversary, Good Kid, Mad City. Hey. Classic, classic album. Kendrick Lamar is getting better.
And that's dope to say in rap and music when the artist is getting better. Because if you listen to Good Kid, Mad City 10 years ago already and then listen to Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. Wow. Definitely some 10 years of progression for sure. Absolutely. Absolutely. He's getting better. And he's like more of a complete artist now.
I think Good Kid, Mad City was, we look back at that and he was still kind of like Still kind of raw.
Chapter 6: What insights are shared about the New York sports teams' performances?
I know we can all, in hindsight, always be like, I thought Kendrick was going to be the greatest rapper of all time at all moments. I did get nervous during that because Section 80 was incredible. Loved it. But then there was also that weird era where Cole was also doing it. The mixtape was great. And then they were single chasing because they had to. It was times I'm not faulting them for it.
I love swimming pools. I liked it when it came out. It did scare me though. I was like, Kendrick might be just trying to get into some... some pop shit right now. Like, he's really going there. And then I heard Good Kid, Mad City. I was like, oh, I apologize. This is one of the best rap albums I've ever heard.
Definitely one of the best rap albums from one of the best rappers, best artists that we have I saw the stream for the show that he had. It was in Paris, right? In Paris, yeah. He had the stream for Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers show, which Rory and I went to when they were in Brooklyn. And I said it then. I was like, yo, he's... Kendrick is a complete artist. There's no...
weak point in his artistry bag right now. As far as his raps, he's always been elite. The music is elite. Now the live show, the tour, the visuals, everything is just at an elite level of art. And the live stream was... I think the live stream of this show may have been even better than... The Barclays.
Yeah, well, they added in more of the Good Kid, Mad City shit because it was the 10-year anniversary and everything. Yeah. But no, I went to the listening session for Good Kid, Mad City in 2012 at Chungking Studios. Wow. Chungking. I remember that spot. Everybody used to do their little albums there. Of course. And I think they did a rotating three sessions session.
And I think I missed the first one, but I was like, fuck it. I'll hang for a little bit to wait to the next one. And it was in the actual control room, not like in that open space with people that have been to that studio. So it was extremely intimate. Pusha was in there. And everyone just at that time, it was when listening sessions had transitioned fully into parties. Like it was just open bar.
No, you could never not hear a fucking thing. everyone just shut the fuck up and listened to the entire album. It was, it was one of those, like, I can't believe I was there moments that I've thought about for a while. Cause it was just really interesting.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts reflect on the current state of the Lakers?
Yeah. To be there. Ali was on the boards doing the shit. Like it was, it was just a moment that I was happy that I could experience rather than explain more or less. But this to me, I don't think there's been in the last 10 years, an undeniable classic rap album besides good kid, mad city.
I don't think there's anyone... Of course, there's some people that would say it's not, but across the board, for the most part, I think everyone agrees, even if you're not the biggest Kendrick fan, Good Kid, Mad City is a classic album. It gets put in the same category as the undeniable classics that we mentioned from 20 years ago. I'm with you on that. 30 years ago.
I don't know if it's the last one in the last 10 years. I would have to really sit down and just think about what came out in the last 10 years. I'm not saying there hasn't been great rap albums and stuff that I might think is a classic.
Undeniable. Nobody can argue it.
It's not even really an opinion type thing. I feel like people would argue that this isn't a classic album, though. I don't think everybody is just hands down that Good Kid, Mad City is a classic. I've heard people say... Absolutely. I'd be surprised. I've heard people say that they didn't really like... They like it, but classic...
I've heard people say they don't feel like it's a classic album. But I mean, again, it's subjective. It's all opinionated. It's whatever you're into. But I do understand the sentiments that you're saying. This is one of those albums that it's like, bro, top to bottom, this album was flawless. Production, the features, the verses.
Even 10 years later, listening to certain songs, it still sounds like right now. It fits in what's going on now. It sounds like right now.
um but that's a nod to i guess the artist that kendrick is today yeah and i think like like you said i think this was the start of that for him where it was like everything is it has to be everything across the board visually and everything that's going on it's a picture it's a story um but kendrick is a special artist and it's just dope to see his progression and his elevation um
And shout out to him, man, on a great career so far. What's next for Kendrick? It's been okay. It's a good career. He did all right for himself. I don't know. I hope Kendrick... With the whole PG movement. I think with that, it's definitely going to be Kendrick. I think Kendrick's going to be outside more. And I don't mean necessarily outside, outside, but you're going to see a lot more of him.
