Rick:Let them know how much the box was. Yeah, let them know what the offer is.
Mig:The offer from the Pirates Is Two seats Behind home plate For 30 years and a ton of meet and greet packages like spread throughout the year, which is pretty awesome if you're a pirates fan, but you know, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna be reading off of uh, the instagram also, so this, this will be fun yeah morrison ralph, our homeboy ralph, says more suspenseful than when they open the mobster's vault.
Mig:You know that's funny dude, because I was thinking about that and I'm hoping this box is not a dud dude and I'm hoping'm hoping we don't pull an empty wine bottle.
Rick:The Geraldo vault, right the Geraldo vault. I was thinking that exact thing earlier.
Mig:man, I thought you read my mind dude.
Lano:And then our street team marked a shark. He says next he wants a pizza box break.
Mig:Nice, we'll do it.
Rick:Oh, he had the chili cheese fries. Break right now.

Rick:Wait, this is going to get into it.
Lano:Yeah, it happened today. Your stupid iPhone setup Another iPhone, stupid thing.
Speaker 5:What was this?
Lano:whole thing that I was texting today and the stupid text is shaking or going up and down. What the hell is that? Oh effects.
Rick:Like the words.
Lano:I was just typing and then something happened, and then the stupid text was like shaking up and down and all this.
Mig:If you send an emoji or something yeah, or I just sent an emoji you held down the send arrow, the send arrow you held it down and then it brings you different options like shrink big or shake or something.
Lano:Hey, you know what? I'm an adult, I don't need none of that stupid shit.
Mig:I just want to send a special text. Oh, but you were on the iPhone. On is working. I don't know then.
Lano:On the iPhone.
Mig:I thought you meant when you were opening the text messages. I swear every day I find something stupid with that damn thing.
Lano:I want that thing to get outdated. So I just start off with the damn Samsung.
Mig:Because iPhone were made for children and women. Keep them entertained.
Rick:Well, remind me before you guys leave. I've got to take some pictures of you Playground. I'm gonna use it for shirt ideas.
Mig:Playground.
Rick:You'll find out, oh shit.
Lano:Stupid, stupid Mark.
Mig:Okay, well, we're gonna. We're gonna get into this.
Lano:Mark said my iPhone has a virus. I should soak it in water for 10 minutes.
Mig:Yeah, and then dry it out in rice.
Lano:Yeah.
Mig:Alright, so let's see what we got. So Top's chrome we all pitched in. That's how much it got up to. Pretty ridiculous. It's probably more expensive now. So, um, I wanna shout out my card shop. How much was that? 425 plus the taxes.
Lano:Damn.
Mig:The last time I bought Before I mentioned this to you guys, which was that $425 plus the taxes. Damn. The last time I bought, before I mentioned this to you guys, it was $100 cheaper, and before that it was under $300.
Lano:So these things just keep going up and up in price.
Mig:But I wanted to shout out my card shop where I bought this box.
Lano:Okay.
Mig:Hall of Fame baseball cards out in Old Town, monrovia, on Myrtle. Cool-ass spot, man Cool-ass spot and everything I bought from there, all the products I buy.
Lano:Mark says you got Frankenstein.
Rick:I'm glad there was no chili and cheese on those.
Lano:Hey, you can wait there. Hey, ask Mark how many people are in there.
Mig:There's six people in here right now 600.
Rick:Six.
Mig:I guess it's going to be as good as it gets all right.
Lano:What is it? 430 you said for the box?
Mig:or what, but the taxes and everything came out to like 460.
Lano:Oh 460 yeah but um and how many?
Mig:how many packs are in there? 24 packs, 4 cards. Each pack, each pack, oh, okay.
Rick:Talk about the card, like it has a patch that they wore and all that stuff and one of them.
Mig:Well, the one we're chasing. When they made their debut Tops, you know, had this promotion.
Lano:Save that box, man.
Mig:Yeah, tops Made this promotion when, um, they put a patch on their jersey when they made the debut and so they picked a bunch of rookies you know, I guess whichever top rookies there were that they figured were going to be top rookies and you need these napkins, top rookies. And um, hold on, I gotta blow my nose. And um, you need these napkins, had them, wear them on their debut. So that patch that says debut, they got that logo, cut it off the jersey and made a card out of it and had them sign it. But since there was only one debut, one patch, there's only one card of each of those top rookies out there and that's what's driving this product. You know that and the fact that the Pirates made that ridiculous offer. But what's cool also, what I've seen, is that A lot of these players, when they were signing their cards, they actually kind of want them back and they wrote on the card DM me.
Rick:Oh, really For an offer.
Mig:So a lot of these rookies Like kind of want.
Lano:The rookies want their rookie card back.
Rick:Yeah, they want their card back, like they wrote it in the autograph, the signature.
Mig:On the card, on the card itself. So Alright we're gonna get started. So here we go. We got Encarnacion Strand, so you're supposed to open.
Speaker 6:All right, we're gonna get started so all right here we go, we got a carnation, so you're supposed to open you
Speaker 4:have a delay a little delay.
Rick:There's a little delay on the.
Lano:Austin. Well, I'm gonna get in my phone.
Rick:Is it your phone? The same or delayed?
Lano:No, your phone.
Mig:I'm live for dirty bar, georgia bar, also all rookie.
Lano:The nice cards man.
Mig:That's why I love the Topps Chrome product. You know, because.
Lano:What's that one?
Mig:It's just a regular. It's a refractor but just a regular base.
Lano:That's a base pack.
Mig:Yeah so that one.
Rick:Right there it says RC Rookie. So are you gonna say that rookie one or no?
Mig:Yeah, that's why. That's why I'm saying I'm in a different pile.
Rick:Okay.
Mig:So, on, a real good rookie, I'll sleeve it and I'll put the Top loader and everything. So Well, we'll want also If we get like a Like a regular Established veteran player, uh huh, we'd Well. We want also if we get like a regular established veteran player. We'd want something like low-numbered or autographed, like a Juan Soto or an Aaron Judge. You know, shohei Otani, you know those are the kind of guys oh, we got a Soto there, yeah, but it's just regular base. No, that was a little premature. All right, that was a little premature. Alright, shota Imanaga he's supposed to turn out to be pretty good. And then Prism Kai Wang Ting. We're gonna get a lot of stuff Of players you've never heard of, especially rookie, since it is pretty much a rookie driven product of especially rookie.
Rick:Since it is pretty much a rookie driven product, I know we want something nice.
Mig:Yeah, those look pretty nice on the back Tyler black is. This is a variation. Variation His actual real rookie card Looks different. Tyler Black yeah it's Tyler Black, but getting splashed With um With the Gatorade that's a variation of it.
Rick:So I'm gonna try to jump back in. I have a mean delay.
Mig:Keep going. Then Shota Imanaga again, but this is A 35th anniversary Version, like a reprint From 1989. So that's what they did this year. They got the top rookies and they did them. They put them on a 89 design.
Lano:Oh, yeah, yeah, oh oh yeah, yeah, I'm area.
Rick:Do I get off and then get back on to keep to get up to speed? Well, I'm still a little behind the game, I don't think it matters.
Lano:Yeah, I'm watching. You see the first two packs of us.
Mig:Yep, the one with the Gatorade. This is his regular rookie card.
Speaker 4:Oh.
Rick:So tell us.
Mig:It's actually pretty nice because it's a prism, so you see the background.
Rick:Like the diamonds are.
Mig:Yeah, it has a diamond. They call that a prism refractor.
Rick:So that if he turns out to be a good player, this is like a good card to have, you know as far as like a parallel JT. Just they're all, the prisons are all the same. They're like different colors and stuff.
Mig:They're different colors they have depending on, like, if you buy a hobby box or you buy retail or whatever. They have different patterns in everything. Some of them look like lava lamps, other ones have waves in them.
Rick:I got some soccer ones. I'm going to have to bring them next week. Oh, he's with Seattle, yeah, so how much Retail, or how much is a box? And then how much market is it up right now For one box? The box he bought, like how much is a box? And then how much market is it up right now for for one box, the box you bought, like how much should it should cost manufacturer retail? Then how much?
Mig:when it came out, I think it was um, I think the box was at about, I want to say around like 280, 290, maybe 299 that's retail like from tops?
Rick:yeah, I think so. And then we paid 3 360?
Mig:yeah, well, this is that's already, because this product has been out for a while already and no one has hit that.
Lano:Does everyone get that?
Mig:price when they first come up, or if you're if you're lucky enough to be able to buy it straight from tops you get that price you probably gotta be a dealer.
Rick:A dealer probably buys cases or a couple boxes and then they resell them or something.
Mig:Oh, we got some color. Jason Rodriguez, that's a good rookie. Paul Skeens, there you go.
Rick:What is it?
Mig:That's the picture. That's the rookie that we want.
Speaker 4:That's the guy we're chasing right there.
Mig:It's his common, but it's a good one to have. Like, if you get it graded, this could eventually I mean it won't be a super high dollar card, but you'll be able to get like a couple hundred bucks for it, for something that's just like the base rookie card.
Mig:Now, if he like he actually signed you into a game an hour before. And he signs it. Is that just as much or no? It depends. You would have to get it graded and get it certified. So they would do like a DNA certification oh, gotcha DNA, you know, because otherwise they could say that just anybody's or something this is a met, so whack whack.
Rick:So once all those now um a mess. What do you guys think about that? Doesn't, doesn't matter there's yeah, all right right your screen's messing me up bro. You're way behind dude. Well, it's just the internet. It has to go from Miggy's phone To Tokyo and back and everywhere else, austin.
Mig:Henson Chiseled Junior Jordan Beck.
Lano:Even my live on the phone is off. Austin Higgins, chiseled Junior.
Rick:Jordan Beck. Even my live on the phone is off. That's what I'm saying. I bet everybody's seen it like the way we see it but we're just watching live also and stuff.
Mig:I mean a lot of times. That's how these breaks are, man Some are uneventful and some Are just straight fire. You just you never know.
Lano:Let's see, let's see.
Mig:Verdugo, who's that Hotel Marte?
Rick:How many packs have we opened?
Mig:um three, four, six, I think six bus, six packs a bust.
Rick:Now I'm kind of doing this with the soccer cards already, maybe the MLS, so the ones like the common cards, like what do you do with them? Are you just you, just you don't throw them away, you don't put them in some like a notebook, sleeves or no, not notebook sleeves, just in uh boxes oh, but you save them still yeah they're there just in case something thomas made the live.
Lano:Thomas made the live oh nice, the peeps.
Mig:Peeps joined. What's up, peeps?
Rick:Cause at my house. I have two stacks Like um Stack of rookies. So far six, six packs of buzz Tom. Well, three stacks, some colorful ones Like chrome and stuff, and then just um Whatever, I guess, common cards. I don't know what to do With the common cards.
Mig:Gunnar Henderson.
Lano:He was a good rookie last year, remind us what we're looking for, what hey Mark says Remind us what we're looking for.
Mig:We are looking for.
Lano:You should leave that one rookie Off to the side, so you can be sure people. Well, him.
Rick:But anything that's autographed Right Anything that's a patch.
Mig:Yes, it's autographed or numbered.
Rick:If, is this autographed or numbered? If, besides the debut patch, is there any other patches on there? Any like?
Mig:No.
Rick:Logo, cards or number nothing.
Mig:No, it's just what they call color, so it'll be like a different parallel. Get that damn card in there. Oh dude, I'm sorry. I'm used to doing this a lot closer to me. I used to have a damn camera in my face.
Lano:You're gonna start making fun of your Frankenstein fingers. To doing this a lot closer to me, I used to have a damn camera in my face. You're going to start making fun of your Frankenstein fingers.
Rick:He's trying to look at the camera or look in real life, and it's confusing, alright show the people.
Mig:This is who we're chasing. So if anything in the rest of these packs, if anything of him comes out with a different color, or the foil pack, like the shiny, like, like with this one has that rainbow foil or different patterns in the background, or whatever, that's going to be good.
Rick:Now what's your retail on that one, Not the Pirates deal? What do you think to sell it? It's a million dollar card.
Mig:Which one?
Rick:The schemes Paul schemes Debut, patch 101.
Mig:I think so yeah, easy.
Rick:And what would be Like another debut card, like A price?
Mig:His Like the.
Rick:Yamamoto. Whatever the Dodgers, the pitcher, the new pitcher.
Mig:Yamamoto Might sell like Anywhere, like Five figures.
Rick:Okay, so anything with the patch.
Mig:Tyler black, this dude. They put a ton of this guy. Was that in the product?
Rick:Tyler black, that one of the iterate Well, at least maybe you got the whole Set, so I'm gonna be asking you for it now. Yeah, some guy wants that Gatorade card, so they're gonna ask Miki for it and we have a bunch of them.
Lano:We took them all. They're gonna be missing that one Gatorade card. Are you looking for errors? They don't do that no more. Oh, they don't do that no more. Come on, that's what you think. Oh, there's a nice card in the back, christopher Sanchez.
Rick:Something in the back. Spoiler alert.
Lano:What is that?
Mig:Josh Jung Future star. Just a regular card.
Rick:I saw it. It just got on the camera right now wow.
Mig:Colton Kouser he's a good rookie.
Rick:Brandon Crawford Top rookies Paul Skeens, eli De La Cruz.
Mig:Jackson Holiday. Jackson Merrill.
Rick:What was that Texas guy?
Mig:Jack Leiter um jackson, um merrill, what was? That texas guy uh jack lighter, lighter, yeah, um what other ones, missing one of the jacksons. There are three jacksons, two of them with the first name, jackson, and one with the last name, jackson Blackburn.
Lano:If this, if this box is a bust, then we'll raffle off that condom album that Lionel just bought, that Snoop Dogg condom album, missionary, just to have something more exciting.
Mig:Yeah, well, I mean.
Lano:Pull it out. Show them we're gonna have a listening party with this, so we can create it, so I can criticize it Live, live reaction. Show them the vinyl.
Mig:That's what we're looking for. Where A different color, oh man.
Lano:I think Snoop Dogg's a little. I told these guys Snoop Dogg's a little too old to be doing Stupid shit like that On the vinyl.
Mig:He's always high. What do you expect he?
Rick:has grandchildren.
Mig:Obviously he didn't use what he's promoting right.
Rick:And that album had no secret messages, just had a regular number, no autograph. So the 101 autograph is still.
Lano:Still out there.
Rick:Still out there.
Lano:And are his. Are you guaranteed? Are you guaranteed Something, a patch or something? An autograph? You're guaranteed an autograph in each box.
Mig:The autograph is usually their rookies. There's a negative right here, but could have been a better rookie, a better player.
Lano:What's that negative? Who is it?
Mig:from From the Rangers Mookie. Anybody a Mookie fan?
Rick:Oh, that's pretty cool. Negative Now. Now Does the jersey card. Is it thicker? Like a thicker cardboard Like to fit it, I mean.
Mig:I personally haven't seen one Like up close, but Cause the fabric.
Rick:Like you would think the pack would be a little more thicker.
Mig:You could tell.
Rick:You could tell in the pack when it's when it's in there I opened up some mls soccer cards and, um, I had to wait for the baby to go to sleep because she wanted to grab everything and put it in her mouth, so you denied her the fun. We just waited until she fell asleep and then I was talking really loud, whispering, so she could dream about it. When I opened them.
Mig:Oh, jackson Merrill, there we go. That's a good one.
Lano:We got one of the Jacksons Right now Miggy puts it in the so when you're doing live, when you see lives, who's like the most entertaining one, or are they?
Speaker 7:all just like straightforward.
Lano:Like was the most entertaining one Aiden.
Mig:We had so much fun with Aiden. I mean just because his reactions whenever something good would come out.
Lano:Yeah.
Mig:You know and just like his knowledge also of like the players and everything you know it was like and just his excitement, dude, the way he would be, you know, but like you watch these guys, but they're all similar, like that. Yeah, you watch these guys with the card shop and everything and you know they're ripping. You know like real fast, you know like boom, boom, boom boom.
Rick:Because they're just looking for that card real fast yeah you know, but they're ripping a ton of stuff.
Mig:So, they always pull something good, so that's how they get people to. Oh, it might be like three boxes instead of one box. They'll rip cases, dude, Alex.
Rick:Jacob, now would you save a pack. What do you mean? Like not open it, because I see people like they'll put a pack in a sleeve and then like keep it there, like, let's say, a few years pass and like no one got that scheme card.
Mig:I don't know, I don't have that kind of restraint Is that it. Yeah.
Lano:That's the last of it. What are we going down to?
Mig:One, two, three, four, five after this pack, because what was that video you sent us?
Rick:Like they're looking for the Jordan rookie, but that was like an unopened pack, right?
Lano:That some guy had just saved.
Mig:Yeah, the way this box is going, that's why I don't gamble in Vegas. No more dude.
Rick:But he had it graded also no, that one pack, the pack yeah.
Mig:They broke the slab.
Rick:I don't know how that was graded, but yeah, he did. Yeah, but like you say, that would take a lot of restraint.
Lano:But what if you hold the box and the card's not found?
Rick:That's what we're saying. That could happen too.
Mig:That's why you could.
Lano:So, even so the box is a bust, then you could get your money back.
Mig:This might be something good.
Lano:On what Cubs?
Mig:It looks like Not a rookie either it looks like a rookie, either it looks like a prism. It's our auto.
Rick:Oh, it's an autograph.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:What is it?
Mig:Michael Bush. It's not a good player.
Lano:All right, should we even bother opening those last packs?
Mig:Yeah, they fouled me. What's this Number? 2199. I mean, that's what I'm saying, something like this. One of the key players. That's like a big dollar card dude. One of the key players. That's like a big dollar card dude, you know. But I mean, unfortunately, that's what you're gonna Sometimes get stuck with. They're all gonna be winners.

Lano:While you wanted to do the listening party. Oh, but you can't. Even you got the camera on there.
Rick:Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. It was gonna be a whole different setup, oh man.
Lano:I could fake it he wants to do. I could fake it Cause I to do um um.
Rick:I could fake it because I got the album on the computer like we could hear.
Lano:It, isn't it better? It was be better off the vinyl or the well we?

Lano:album. Yeah, you've heard all of it. I, I heard it all. Okay, let's, let's do one song, play one song, and this one song is the one song that you're trying to sell the album yeah like you're trying to get me to buy this album, so convince me with the best song of the album. Oh man, there's so many, though there's gotta be one dude. I doubt that there's that many.
Mig:Yeah, bangers I mean, it's just, like whenever, I honestly doubt that that's a no skip out whenever. Whenever someone responds like that, it's usually because there's nothing good on there no, it is, I'll bet.
Rick:Oh, they already got the instrumental.
Lano:I gotta hear that one.
Rick:I put heavy cash that this is not a no-skip album. Now Dre, he always does his regular albums and then the instrumentals, but let me see One song Now. I don't know if this is gonna like ding us On the podcast or ding us on the Instagram or on the YouTube.
Mig:We'll see. We'll see, oh, it might On YouTube right.
Rick:But I've seen people do it all the time, but they just don't get caught.
Mig:No, but I think you could play maybe.
Lano:Five seconds of it.
Mig:Yeah, five or ten seconds of it.
Lano:No, what about if you react to it? People react to it. I know I've seen reaction videos. You just gotta pause it.
Rick:Well, that's true, and then talk through it and then, yeah, because people are doing reaction videos all the time.
Lano:We're not even a big channel.
Rick:So we're not making money either, I know, so it doesn't matter. Now, every Dre album, what are they gonna do? Arrest us? Every dray album, you have to play the very first song, just to like start it off, like the intro so what are you saying?
Lano:you want me to give you the intro and then a song yeah, yeah yeah, okay, let me see. Wait, this is snoop's album, right, yeah, snoop's album or just snoop and dray snoop, album produced by dr dray, and that's that that's the big album that was supposed to be, yeah, coming out did you guys watch any of the videos I sent you yeah I saw.
Mig:You saw the little movie I saw you saw the movie, all right I don't watch anything. You say not to watch it or or not to hear it, all right, so you know, dre is known for his um.
Rick:His beats like, it's crystal clear and in rhythm. So all right.
Lano:So we're gonna set a goal, all right all right do the intro oh wait, wait, hold on, let me make sure this is no, and then when you play a little bit, you gotta pause it. Then we gotta talk about it. Yeah, how long is the intro? Well, that's a minute 15. All right, maybe stop it halfway. Okay, I'm not sure if this is the right title for this video, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do it anyway.
Speaker 4:I'm going to do it anyway, I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm going to do it anyway. I'm Got an ass tray full of glory crabs. Come on away from me, don't check. To check Lifestyle film when he draws some sense, but them flashlights. You never caught me yet.
Lano:You wanna stop it? Dre stole that damn that beat from Cube's song. The damn the drop the yeah.
Rick:But he emphasized it. No, but I mean Dre's, always, you know, he took, he took that whole sample. I mean it's a sample.
Lano:They remix it.
Rick:They remix it and stuff.
Lano:It's all it's that connection song, I think it was.
Rick:Do you hear that?
Mig:Well, to start off that drum, beat, drop or whatever in the beginning, crap I could have done without that. Once it starts off, the doom, doom.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, that's pretty badass.
Speaker 7:That's what he just should have started with.
Mig:Instead of putting that stupid drum roll in the front, he should have just started with that beat.
Lano:It's an introduction, man, oh dude.
Mig:And then the other thing is whoever they got singing nah Not feeling it.
Rick:Now, you guys know Tom Petty. No, no, I know, but does he have a song called Last Dance with Mary J?
Mig:Yes.
Rick:Okay, because Dre remixed it, but apparently there's a video clip that I've seen where Sounds like.
Lano:I'm going to be pissed at that song Because that's my favorite song for Tom Petty.
Rick:So there's a video clip of Tom Petty Saying that I want Dre to remix one of my songs and I want him to remix Last Dance with Mary Jane. I was on a 2017 Documentary called the Defiant Ones, so the estate of Tom Petty Gave.
Lano:Dre the rights.
Rick:The original record, the original files of that song, with his voice of um Last Dance. So this is it. It's on there. This is it right here. Wait, the intro's done. Yeah, why this? I stopped because I don't know. I wasn't sure we can get dinged or whatever why no?
Lano:but we're we. You stop, we talk about, then we we play. Oh finish, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:You will not understand. You will not understand. Snoop Dogg makes the world go round.
Speaker 5:You are now about to witness.
Lano:The strength of street knowledge. Stop, that's a good song, dude. That's a good callback right there. Alright, that's a cool intro. I guess I'll just play Start snippets of everything. Right, that's a good callback right there. Alright, that's a cool intro.
Speaker 4:That's a cool intro.
Rick:You're only going with the two songs.
Lano:I wanted to see that. Just hear that damn, mary Jane.
Rick:Alright, here we go.
Speaker 7:Keep moving on. Don't bother asking me to ever give my lady up. Was about five years old taking my first puff. It was love at first light, better love. The first night my uncle told me don't rush, this could be your first crush. Now I'm on the block with all the homies and it's a family affair. Seventeen with a dream, blowin' smoke in the air, servin' fiends. My routine is where I was that year, avoidin' them, fuckin' pandas in my rearview mirror. County blues wanna lose shit. I'm with all of my peers Lookin' back. I wouldn't change shit. But what a career. I used to flip bags with her, skip class with her. She comfortable as fuck. When I'm trying to smash with her. She got a lot of fans and they always harassing us. Ashes to ash to dust. Feel like I'm Lazarus. I can't get past the rush. Never pass her up. Who took this bitch War and why Nigga we gassing up Now? What's the problem?
Speaker 4:Yes, dance with Mary Jane One more time to kill the pain Even before the fame.
Speaker 7:She was my Novocaine. You know it ain't gon' change, cause now I'm, I've been suffering, I've breathed it in and I'm tired of this down again, and yet the truth remains that it just ain't the same Without my lowest lane by my side.
Speaker 6:I've seen some things in my life. It feels like I'm raging inside. This time I'm changing my mind. I'm saying goodbye to the dangerous side. Sometimes you gotta roll with it. Fighting fire is a damn cold fitness. Somehow she came in my life Between the white lines that made it all right. Outro Music it's so unfair what she did to me, the way she sparked this epiphany. I tried to walk away, but I'm stumbling. Whole world crumbling. Something never changed. And that was my last dance with Larry Chien. It was time to kill the pain.
Lano:I like it, but the transition to the chorus is bad.
Rick:The last guy singing Jelly Roll, jelly Roll, yeah.
Lano:But that transition is not good, dude. I don't like it. It slows down too much, it's not a smooth transition. It's not good From where it goes.
Speaker 7:I like the song.
Lano:I like the verse, I like the singing, I can get with it, but it's just that. What's going to kill it for me is that transition into the chorus. That's not a smooth chorus from Dre or whatever. It's off it doesn't sound.
Speaker 4:whatever it's off.
Lano:It doesn't sound good. It's not smooth.
Mig:I mean I think he did a good job with it, but I'm just tired of them trying to put people on the tracks, trying to sing and shit. Replace Nate Dogg. You can't fucking replace him Trying to replace Nate Dogg dude With.
Rick:Tom Petty.
Mig:No with that dude that was singing, or whatever on there Jelly.
Lano:Roll yeah.
Mig:They're not trying to replace Nate Dogg dude, but they're putting someone to sing on every he's just a singer, dude. Well, that's what I'm saying. You don't need it's a freaking rap song, dude. You don't need-.
Lano:Well, I don't see it like a rap song. It's just a good, solid song. Like I don't even see it as a rap song. Just because these guys put a singer on doesn't mean they're always going to be trying to replace Nate and they're older now.
Rick:So it's slowing down. It's not necessarily rap.
Lano:I mean it's hip-hop or whatever it is. Right now they can't.
Rick:I mean I'm sure there's going to be other shit, like other singers are going to try to Dre said he wished or this is the way they wanted like hip hop to evolve, to that they think everything should be sounding like this right now. Now, rick, you started watching Tulsa Kings, right.
Lano:Yeah.
Rick:Are you finished yet or not yet?
Lano:I'm on the. There's three seasons, no Two, so I think I'm halfway to the second season.
Rick:You saw Jelly Roll on it. He comes out at the beginning of season two.
Lano:No.
Mig:I don't remember what the hell is.
Lano:Jelly.
Speaker 4:Roll? I don't remember.
Lano:He's that idiot that's all tattooed on his face.
Rick:He's the one that sings on the Eminem song the. Hook. No, he comes out in, I think, episode two of season two of Tulsa Kings. All right, I'm going to play one more last one All right.
Lano:so I'm liking that song. I just don't like that transition.
Rick:Now this is Snoop was on the Voices here and I guess one of his assistant judges or something was.
Lano:Does it have a singer? Because then maybe you're going to think they're replacing Nate. Well it was Sting, so this is Snoop.
Rick:Dogg. Yeah, so Snoop Dogg and Sting? Oh shit, and Sting's not trying to replace Nate dog.
Mig:He's trying to replace Davey.
Speaker 6:How y'all feeling out there. Yeah, pop a little louder if you're loving it. I'm fucking with it. Turn my mic up. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Ha.
Lano:Turn to the Titans in this motherfucker. Loving how this is feeling. Yeah, go ahead, eric, sing them. Titans in this motherfucker. This doesn't even sound like a rap album, dude, it's kind of it's cool, like Just another part of me.
Speaker 7:I'm just trying to show you some gangster love, wearing my heart on my sleeve Out here, living on the dangerous. Now tell me, what do you want?
Speaker 6:from me here in the land of the lost and the scandalous.

Rick:I was waiting for Sting to come out. He didn't come out yet, right? No, let me see I'm on my way.
Speaker 4:Yeah, this a little better time than I mean. It's cool.
Lano:I would listen to this song in the past, but I like it because it's not bullshit, bullshit as that.
Mig:I mean, it definitely sounds like all the shit that they put out today, so who's that?
Speaker 4:I'm the one giving birth. What they got to say? I'm gonna get up and fly out of my way. There's no better time than today.

Lano:Let us know people. Are you vibing with it? I'm actually vibing with it. It's better than that Missionary damn Song that was coming out, where Snoop's on the damn Car, the car's drifting and he's like on the hood or whatever it's like. Come on, dude, you're not young.
