Miss it meeting with friends before the show we can book your reservation and when you get to the main event Skip to the good bit using the card member entrance Let's go seize the night That's the powerful backing of American Express visit amex.ca YMX benefits vary by card other conditions apply Guys I was thinking the other day Conditions apply. Guys, I was thinking the other day.

What would be an album that you would want to listen to again for the very first time? An album that you love, that you don't skip on, that you're like, man, this this album and these songs, these collection of songs are so good that I would love to re listen to them again. You want to have that experience for the first time. Right. Right. And the reason I was thinking of that was because- When you listen to them the first time, do you know what you're listening to or do you have amnesia? You got a Men in Black zap. So you're just gonna-

Yeah, you get zapped. You're like- You ever seen the movie Yesterday, where the whole world forgets the Beatles ever existed and the guy, only guy who remembers them? I never saw it, was it good? It is good, it is pretty good, yeah. But basically he starts playing all the Beatles songs and everyone's like, oh my god. It's the most amazing music ever

Yeah, it's the Beatles. They're like, huh? I never saw it So you're choosing to forget the thing you like the most because you know, you'll experience it again for the first time I'm not choosing to forget but just like wishing that I could really listen to the experience For the very first time because as you listen to an album that you love and you listen to it so many different times, you know all the songs by heart, like you just love the album so much that you miss hearing those collection of songs

for the first time. The reason why I was thinking of that. When you listen to it again for the first time, do you have like that first time feeling on some songs? You're like, I don't know about this one. And then they grow on you, right? But then they grow on you and then you really love them by like the 10th time.

So like you're listening. This time you don't like that one. Yeah this time you're listening like And also like when you go back in time and you listen to this for the first time Are you the same age you were the first time you listen to it? Yeah, like are you going to with your current sensibilities in So like if you could go back in time to listen to, not actually back in time, you're still in the present, but mentally you're going back in time to hear this for the first time. So like you announced last week,

you're gonna have a child, right? So when your child is born, you're gonna have different sensibilities probably than when you listen to this the first time. Are you now listening to this as a dad? Or are you listening to this as like 17 year old Tony listening to Eminem album for the first time? No, I'm listening to it 30 seconds ago

when I got zapped when I didn't remember the song. But you're thinking as a person in 2024, not as someone in like 1998 or whatever. I'm thinking of me 30 seconds ago when they hit me with the flash. But this is where Billy is coming from. You, Tony, are a different person than you were, I don't know what year you listened to this album,

but let's just say it was in college. I don't know, but Tony hasn't evolved much. The feel that you got from those songs might not be the same. And so we need to know if you're chasing the exact same high or you're just saying, hey, let's see if the high's gonna be the same. And are you literally high? Because chances are if you heard it a while ago,

you might have been. And were you high then? Was not high, no. Are you high the next time? Well, what's the album? Can we start with that? The album that I thought about this whole conversation on was Un Barano Sinti with Bad Bunny. That was my guess.

Really? Okay, but you told us that you listened to that album with your wife in Hawaii but now you just are listening to it in your car in Kendall so like maybe it's just... Yeah where are you when you're listening to it the second time? You get to choose the location. I can choose... Are you on vacation again with your wife? I could be. Well maybe that's why you liked it more. But no but I heard the song prior to like I heard the album when it came out because the day before we went

to Hawaii the album came out so I listened to it that day. Was this when you cut your foot? Yeah, that's when I cut my foot. So you're listening to it on the day before you went on the trip, not on the trip with your wife. I listen to it on the trip every single day. No, but you're going back to the first time you listen to it, not the first trip that happened after you listen to it the first time. Oh, you get to go on another vacation? Yeah, you get to go on vacation for free? Can I point out really quick that Tony has the vast universe of music he's heard his entire life. He's picking an album to keep out a couple of years ago. Two years ago. May 6, 2023. That's what you want to go back to.

That's the idea where I had, I was like, oh, if I could re-listen to these songs, it'd be cool. It absolutely nukes. But can't you remember it pretty well because it was two years ago? It nukes Billy's follow-up entirely, because you are the same person from a couple of months ago. You went on Hawaii shortly after listening to it,

which probably made you, because you were going and doing these funding- It's the greatest summer album of all time. But because you were on a trip, that was an amazing trip, right? Describe the feelings. Like now I understand what you're most excited about is NCAA coming out.

So now if you hear a video, this album for the first time the day before NCAA comes out, you're gonna be like, oh my God, this is the best album ever. I might really listen to the entire Un Verano Sin Ti album while I play NCAA football. And then what? Explain the feeling you were gonna get though, if you got zapped and listened to it again.

Chris, is that yours, Weezer? No, I'm just saying the best summer album of all time, Weezer, by Weezer in 2016. In two years, Tony's gonna be like, what would you do if you could go back in time and replay college football 2025 Well, we'd have 27 at that point. Can I respect the question for the first time since I've been trying for the first time somebody respects The question I'll share my way Florida Panthers legend Alanis Morissette jagged little pill

That's a great one Are you listening to it after seeing her perform the national anthem in the Stanley Cup? Me personally, I'm going back to 18-year-old me listening to it. Would you warn yourself about terrible things that happened in the world? Or would you invest a lot of money in certain stocks

and try to get really rich? So there is a time machine involved. I told you. You guys don't get it. Thriller. Second place, college dropout Thriller I like cuz I Heard thriller when I was a child

So and you hear saw like back then you need your whole albums no skips you heard a song I'm not a song another song another song like oh every song this guy makes is amazing And so I wonder like if I had amnesia right now. I often think about this a lot with songs that I really like that like hey if you like if the yesterday plot happened and like I took Biggie's tracks and then I came out like I'm a new rapper and then I just did Juicy and Hypnotize. Will people be like yo this guy's amazing, or will be like, what does this old ass sound and rapper sound like? Does hypnotize sound like an old song to young people?

No, right? No. But then I think about young people who, the entirety of their rap catalog is, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Like if it sounds like that then they Then they might think that that like oh, this is way too Why is he enunciating every word? So I don't know speaker box The split album love below speaker really good album I mean it wasn't my favorite so when you go back and listen to college dropout did Kanye Kanye already oh Yeah, this isn't a vacuum, guys.

This is just the music. It's just the music, but you know everything you know about Kanye. That's what I'm asking. That's crazy. Yeah, no, absolutely not. There has to be a time machine involved. There's a time machine involved.

We've settled it.
