In episode 9 of Lasers on the Ride the guys discuss Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and then keep digging deeper into triangles and get real about the food pyramid. Akil wonders/worries whether he is a negative nancy on the internet but chalks it up to being a gemini. Mike and Jay overindulge and discuss “nature’s instruments” and Akil pushes Daredevil. The Lasers scheme on where to hide the stash. Mike besmirches Karen Civil’s name and Bobby Brown catches his first W in a long time and high praise from the Lasers.

In this episode of Lasers on the Ride, the Lasers open with a story of Hulk Hogan falling prey to another man’s nasty, entrapping habit. Mike busts “on fleek” wide open and the Lasers talk slang. Mike then also shares his philosophy on Ls and how important it is to gracefully take those shits in life. Lil Dicky is broached, the Lasers share their thoughts and Mike his disdain. They discuss Khaled, Nardwuar, and Khaled on Nardwuar. They go deeeeeep into beat talk, discuss the Black Keys and establish their best era, and Mike gives up on Jay-Z. The Lasers finish off by talking grooming and swap war stories, most of them involving penises, and Mike shares his philosophy on life, which is basically just sitting in that shit.

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.

In this episode of Lasers on the Ride, the guys pontificate on Bob Barker’s particular brand of misogyny and then devise a plan to take over the game show industry. Mike shines when Jay raises Carmen Sandiego from the dead. Akil discovers that all new babies are treated like (baby) Jesus himself and then cautions against treating anyone like a monkey. The Lasers attempt to track down oft-forgotten early nineties icon Jamal from Ghost Writer, while Jay and Mike tackle the subject of hunting animals with the aid of drones and how nature can fight back (drone spirit!). Lastly a near-death Dave Brubeck leads the Lasers on a walk straight into the grave from either an elevator or just some good cookies.
