In episode 13 of Lasers on the Ride the gang welcomes Montreal rapper and frequent collaborator Shogun to the podcast.  Things kick off with Jay suggesting a way of giving back to the community that naturally involves penis before discussion shifts to the much-maligned “dress code” rules of the early and mid aughts. Shogun teases Akil with the idea of “Marvel Comics”-centric episode of Lasers and Mike reveals his thoughts on the Rza and Vancouver. Shogun speaks on the hidden racial attitudes in the city before metro stations are pitted against one another and Mike attempts to prepare the guys for an eventual zombie apocalypse. To wrap it up the Lasers tackle guns, violence, the consequences of said violence, and why “Braveheart” is trash.

In this episode of LOTR (oh man, like Lord of the Rings – never use this acronym) the Lasers discuss Rihanna vs. Teairra Mari, Rihanna’s many hits and also her general queendom. Jay reflects on hours spent researching elderly strangers’ prescription medication (to what end? you decide) and introduces the idea that the guy in “Limitless” is just taking adderal. Speaking of the elderly (jk jk), Def Squad members are discussed, Mike puts Akil onto Hurricane G and Jay wonders about Erick Sermon’s brush with a window. The Lasers move on to such hot topics as club etiquette (fingers in the face is a no-no), mumblerap and its founding father (none other than 50 Cent, they posit) and BET uncut. The subject of durags emerges, specifically as durags relate to Memphis Bleek and then more generally how they relate to us all. Captain America is painted as hero by Akil, villain by Jay, and as a possible and probable racist by Mike. The Lasers push through and nearly broach country music, but stop just shy and settle for just listing country music artist names. Akil does, however, manage a mean spaghetti western whistle. Mike talks his love for Florida as Akil and Jay reflect on their fear of Florida. Finally, as the conversation winds down, Mike claims to enunciate but doesn’t.
