The Grammy Family, episode 47 of Lasers on the Ride, kicks off with talk of the recent face punching spree sweeping St Henri and the Lasers receiving real Grammy noms for imaginary work. The conversation turns quickly to masturbation before they discuss Kanye West’s emotional state and how to process one’s feelings for one’s idols. Jay gives a bad rendition of a proposal he witnessed and they discuss fighting kangaroos, some buff and some less buff. Mike shares a motivational tool his past self used to keep his present self accountable and the Lasers discuss certain changes they might have wanted to have instituted in 2016. KC closes the stuff out with a freestyle, you’re welcome and merry christmas.
s01e39, Walls Are For Squares, was recorded right outside of the studio, in the great outdoors (of Fattal), full of dog barks and shouting. The episode kicks off pretty abruptly with a pretty petty argument between Akil and Jay about, of all things, coziness (guys it’s crazy) and they debate whose life is worse and who’s gone longer without eating haha. They patch things up and discuss idols before KC talks being stabbed right where they’re sitting and breaks down Haitian food. Akil talks of the time he sat in on Concordia’s hip hop class, Jay drops train riding wisdom, and Mike his masturbation bucket list. They read fanmail for the podcast and talk waterbeds of yore, before a kitty comes up and steals the show.
Episode 36 of Lasers on the Ride, ERIN WILLETT’s Garden of Eden, features Erin Willett, a brand developer/strategist and owner/founder of the Tap in Team. The episode kicks off with talk of the current work climate and where employment is headed and then how to brand masturbationfromhome as a hustle. They play Fuck it Pick a Record!, Erin talks why “artist” is a heavy ass title, takes us through her come up and explains why everyone should pick up what she’s throwing down. She coaches the Lasers through their brand and Jay coaches everyone through that coke life. The group explores Akil’s perceived negativity and tries to break it down into components and the studio’s bathroom catches an L but then a W. 808s and Heartbreak gets no love again despite Erin’s best attempts and the group picks guests for the dinner party of their dreams.
On episode 15 of Lasers on the Ride, the gang prepares for the arrival of Montreal bred international battle rap hero/villain Loe Pesci. Before he shows up Akil reveals his summer plans and confirms that he isn’t in fact Eeyore and Mike drops knowledge on chronic masturbation and trenchcoats. Mike establishes that he does not get down with Johnny Cash no how no way and the Lasers explore microphone techniques and develop what they call “the carabiner”. Battle rap is broached and the different eras and players are discussed. Once Loes arrives he takes us through his history and tells a great story of how Bishop Brigante got onto 106 & Park’s infamous “Freestyle Friday”.
