Listen to the CINO Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Paul show are geniuses. We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand.

77.248 - 80.812 Rory

Better version of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yes.

80.993 - 85.438 Damaris

Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong.

0

Chapter 3: What qualifications are discussed for the King of New York title?

168.154 - 193.416 Unknown

Yeah. By yourself? By myself and more. Wait, you're about to say you don't think the singers that people revere have voices like that? Like when you think about some of them, like voices, just the vocals. Like when people be like, oh, Frank, old blue eyes. I be listening and I'm like... Yeah, but Frank Sinatra had that style for that era. I don't think people were like, yo, he's a blower. Pause.

0

193.476 - 215.337 Unknown

He just had for that time frame with that type of music and Frank's delivery. He had the swag of that era. He had style. Yeah. Frank Sinatra had a lot of style. Very cool cat. But when we start talking about just... great singers and people like Frank Sinatra. I'm like, I mean, cause I don't, I have, I don't want to disrespect the people that came before us, the foundation.

0

215.358 - 221.157 Unknown

Disrespect Hoboken, New Jersey. I don't, yeah. It's just like, but I'll be like, And the entire Yankees organization.

221.217 - 223.06 Rory

Yeah. Every five family.

0

Chapter 4: How do the hosts analyze the impact of Joey Bada$$'s claims?

223.22 - 241.009 Unknown

I don't know if Frank was really singing like that. Like, a lot of style. A lot of class. A lot of class. Frank, to me, is like a lot of the new rappers that are big. Like, the talent isn't really there, but their lifestyle and what they offer to the music is what people, like, are attracted to. Well, if it was a lifestyle, then, you know, the pack...

0

241.073 - 260.421 Unknown

All they did was... Frank Sinatra is pretty much like Playboi Carti, if you think about it. They're the same. Don't ever disrespect Frank Sinatra like that. Don't do that. Please, I'm not going to lie to you. Both fashion icons. Both had a swagger about them. Everyone's curious about their lifestyle. They know gang members. They're the same to me. No, no. Frank knew the gang members.

0

260.441 - 280.566 Unknown

He was the gang. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Rat Pack was definitely the gang. Absolutely. That was actually heartbreaking to me when I found out way later in life. Two things. When I found out Xzibit wasn't from LA and that Frank Sinatra wasn't from New York City. Were you more upset to find out that Xzibit wasn't from LA or that- To pimp my ride cars, like, those people didn't keep those cars.

0

281.908 - 298.857 Unknown

Even though I was in my early teens at that time, I still had the logic to understand that a fish tank in a Buick wasn't going to work. Okay. All right. In no way did I think, like, yo, they're whipping to work in that. Like, I was watching, like, that's a hazard. Yeah, that was one of the best shows, but also one of the dumbest ideas ever, though.

0

298.837 - 318.129 Unknown

Um, he was just on bootleg Kev's show, which I have to watch it. I didn't get a chance to exhibit. Yeah. Um, I think he's putting an album out in February, but I had heard they're bringing back pit my ride, right? Sorry. I didn't hear that. I saw, you know, rumors on the timeline that are never confirmed, but I think that would be great to bring back. That was an amazing show.

318.189 - 333.96 Unknown

But if they're going to bring it back, let it actually be cars that people can actually use day to day. Like, don't put no fish tanks in the car. But what's entertaining? Like, save that for, like, what's the gear? Save that for Spike TV or whatever the fuck. Channel 27. Like, the over-the-top car? Yeah, like, for the gearheads, do that.

334.581 - 358.117 Unknown

Pimp My Ride was just to entertain you with absolute nonsense. I think West Coast Customs never i'm sure they were in their own shop like this will never work but it's hilarious yeah like it's great for tv yeah like you know what she she's an accountant let's put a fucking whole accounting firm in her trunk yeah let's put a stenographer right next to her like no All right. Well, happy 2025.

358.718 - 379.339 Unknown

We are back. Yes. Top of the year. This is the first episode of the year, right? First episode of the year. We are back, Rory. Oh, yeah. Get into it. 2025. It's only been two days. Is that a gang call? No, it's not a gang call. You never heard of Sexy Red? If you see me and you trying to see what's up. Put her on the map. Isn't Sexy Red a blood, though?

379.359 - 384.144 Unknown

See, you might be yelling some blood shit and don't even know it. No. I always assumed that was some blood shit. Really?

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about Pop Smoke's music and influences?

3297.256 - 3304.449 Unknown

When he had put out the Shoot for the Moon, Aim for the Stars album, that was like right after he passed, but that was the one he was working on.

0
0

3305.523 - 3322.403 Unknown

there was still drill elements in it and what we knew from Welcome to the Party and everything. His sound was way more broad on that. There was a lot of different sounds on that. It sounded like pop was getting out of the this is my Brooklyn drill crip shit and I'm going to make real music.

0

3322.423 - 3323.023 Rory

I love that.

0

3323.043 - 3334.737 Unknown

And I'm not sure if that album he did or he didn't, but I think I saw somewhere 50 was speaking. I think he had kind of put him under his wing and was helping him with his music and stuff. So that might have been a result of

3334.717 - 3364.723 Unknown

50 being closer to him and him you know creating music and things like that i i loved i forgot who 50 was talking to um he was saying the first time pop smoke came to his office sorry any water um he was just you know giving him typical og game whatever and he's like he was sitting there on his phone and like i thought he was disinterested in what i was saying i thought it was rude as fuck then he got up and pop smoke was writing down everything that 50 would say he thought he was just sitting there like yo all right cool literally just

3364.703 - 3370.795 Unknown

Typing every single word. I think pop would have been one of those ones for sure. He definitely had that star power for sure.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts reflect on LeBron James' birthday celebration?

3371.115 - 3380.974 Unknown

Well, I don't know why we're spinning our wheels trying to figure out who the king of New York is when we could just ask the hip hop historian. Who is that? King of this entire thing. LeBron James. I just want Elliot Wilson.

0

3382.085 - 3406.793 Unknown

elliot didn't invent the deluxe did he hopefully lebron is anr in this joey badass album that's how we know we'll get an actual classic out of it well happy birthday to lebron james uh he celebrated a birthday a few days ago 40 years old uh one of the most incredible athletes we've ever had ever seen and anrs one of the most incredible anrs he's only 40 he's younger than you lebron yeah

0

3408.19 - 3430.924 Unknown

Oh, a lot of athletes are like young. They just retire early because it takes a toll on your body. Yeah. Yeah. Mm hmm. Most athletes are not old for life. They're just old for like the field or the court. No, I mean, I don't know. I don't know why I thought LeBron was older. Maybe it's just I think it's because he must have had his son like semi young.

0

Chapter 7: What are the recent events that the hosts discuss regarding tragedy and community impact?

3431.191 - 3457.002 Unknown

You mean his son that's playing on his team with him right now? Yes. Obviously, he had him when he was young. That's why I'm just like, oh, wow, he's only 40? He had him at 32. Bryce committed to Arizona. That's dope. Which is dope. Shout out to Bryce James. Hopefully, he's sober. What? That's a party school. Oh, I mean, I'm sure he's got his head on straight. Great kids, man.

0

3457.323 - 3475.082 Unknown

I don't think we have to worry about that from that family. But some footage surfaced from the birthday party, you know, because everyone was trying to figure out what LeBron was doing for his 40th. He's been taking time off from the Lakers, this and that. Of course, it was going to be quite the soiree. You had to take time off to, you know, put the party together. Put the playlist together.

0

3475.102 - 3475.523 Unknown

Yeah, exactly.

0
0

3476.433 - 3498.836 Unknown

Whoever filmed this clip is not LeBron's friend. I know they went through the guest list and wondered who filmed this entire thing. LeBron saw him filming. He's standing right in front of him. LeBron might have told him to film that. Absolutely. For those that have not seen this, LeBron James at his 40th birthday party. And listen, as a hip-hop nerd, I'm going to give him some type of grace here.

Chapter 8: What advice is given regarding relationships with children in blended families?

3499.357 - 3516.927 Unknown

Because when we get a little too fucked up sometimes, we like to get in our lyric bag and just... You know, I've definitely put on some Nas B-sides when I've had a little too much red wine and start rapping to everybody that's in the room that doesn't want to hear me. Cleared the whole party up. Yeah, like, nah, you have to listen to what you're saying. Nobody want to hear that shit, man.

0

3517.749 - 3527.888 Unknown

You know nobody want to hear you kick rhymes at a party. Nobody want to hear bars. You got to understand, not like it's their second childhood. He's talking about they had their first childhood. Nah, I'll rap it to you. I'll rap it to you so you know.

0

3528.104 - 3553.437 Unknown

anyway fuck what rory talking about lebron we we get it man drake unfollowed you you gotta be this is not this is not about drink what all right if him if him and drake was still cool you think he would have been rapping this or a drake record he was cool with drake and was rapping the like that verse while he was doing layup lines he all there's also four other videos of him rapping songs that aren't drake or kendrick i think that this is they caught him in a red wine moment this is the one though

0

3553.94 - 3574.404 Unknown

This is the record. This is the one he wanted us to understand. This is the lyrical miracle. This is the bars. First of all, no, it's not. It's his birthday, and he's singing a song like, I deserve it all. He got it all. He deserve it. He deserve it. 100%. 100%. He worked for it. This is not a lyrical. This is probably the least lyrical Kendrick song on the album. Play the clip.

0

3574.904 - 3597.06 Unknown

You got to get in the mood. Answer the question. Answer the question. First of all, do we see a familiar face in the back? We'll get to that. Okay. The rapper hands is crazy And he's 6'8 And he's a fucking monster So his rapper hands are even funnier Do you think he rehearsed?

3597.24 - 3605.492 Mal

That's his shit I think that's Savannah Is that his wife doing TikTok dances next to him?

3605.512 - 3625.279 Unknown

I think that's Savannah probably making fun of him You know she's caught him like in the bathroom before steam everything with this on the beat spill. That's not his first time doing this or this. Ava, can I ask you a question? Do you think that if Drake didn't unfollow him that he would have been rapping a Drake song right there? I think... No. No? You don't think so? Okay.

3625.419 - 3641.939 Unknown

Because he was rapping when... Y'all be lying to y'allself. I'm going to let y'all do that. All 2025. All 2025, I'm letting niggas lie to themselves. It's not that we're lying to ourselves. I promise you that it never even crossed my mind that if Drake unfollowed LeBron, would LeBron rap a Kendrick song. Never even entered my mind, because I don't care.

3641.959 - 3665.234 Unknown

So when you seen this clip, you didn't think that... No, I saw my friend Raven right behind him and immediately texted her, you don't think LeBron deserves it all? Why Raven standing there like security? With her hands behind her back. Girl, you standing in front of the wrong angle. Stop this nigga from recording. Like this probably towards the end of the night and people were probably dancing.
