It's kind of a bit more of a dead week, bro, when it came to, like, music releases.

0:03.4

What, what release?

0:04.2

It was Bruno Mars.

0:05.1

Bruno. Were you listening that night? Yeah, that was horrible. It wasn't horrible. It was just that, bro, it was so funny. This weekend, I literally heard just the way you are in the fucking car. And it's like we got zero banger from Bruno Mars, like the way he used to give us the bank. That's like what happened to this guy, you know?

0:20.7

10 years off and there's no fucking hits, bro.

0:23.4

There's nothing that my mom's gonna abuse on the radio

0:26.1

what the fuck but bro like that's what I'm saying is in the car new Bruno Mars album drops and they're

0:31.8

still playing his old shit you know what I mean so and every song sounded the same yeah it was

0:36.9

the album didn't lack in quality like Like, his vocal still sounded great. The production was somewhat interesting, bro. It just, it felt like a lateral move for him, especially after 10 years. And I think that's why most fans are somewhat disappointed about the experience. It's because if I was waiting for my artist, like my favorite artist to drop after 10 years, expect something new, bro. Like there was a lot of shit too that, like, felt like the Silk Sonic like sessions, bro. Which was a much better album, by the way. And that wasn't even a solo album. That was a ridiculously good album. That was, uh, that was an insane album, actually. But regardless, though, we got some new Bruno. Anything you guys are keeping out of the track list?

1:11.1

Zero.

1:11.7

No, nothing.

1:12.6

I went back to obviously the smash hits and that Silk Sonic album is still in rotation. Yeah, and it's like we said in the reaction, bro. Like, it felt like one long song, you know what I mean? Like, you couldn't even pick them apart. It was stylistically the same. It was like that Motown kind of soul vibe and then maybe some like Latin drums and shit, bro, like on the early side of the album. Like, you knew what to expect. And it was just predictable. It was the safest thing that he could have made. Like that's how I feel. He probably wasn't even trying, bro. Yeah. He should have to put out an album. He's such a legend, bro. People were joking. People were joking. Cover the gambling that's it. He did everything.

1:45.6

That guy's going to

1:46.1

fucking make money forever

1:47.6

off those bangers that he has. Yeah, depends what types of deals. Los Vegas residencies, bro. Listen, man. What does he have to do them for like the rest of the rest of it? No, I think he had done it in the past,

1:58.3

but I don't know if it's still active.

1:59.6

Was that true or a true story?

2:01.1

Yeah,

2:01.4

he had a serious gambling.

2:02.4

No,

2:02.5

I know that,
