ItsnotEnough
Gene wants people to relax and go with the flow of a convo so he can get away with the small lies he sprinkles through everything and doesn't like getting caught 😂. Man who plays video games for a living tells patrons to touch grass.
Gene Park
yes because checking twitter when 1) its likely not accurate as probably didn’t mention future or kendrick in my wording, i would quote tweet, and 2) it is a bitchmade move over what should’ve been a fun convo about keeping up with rap music. that’s why i said touch grass. you could’ve just kept the convo here like others have. yeah this convo feels bad because it’s just petty. im leaving it too. just relax and learn to go with the flow of a convo.
Gene Park
you acting like me replying is out of the ordinary when it’s literally a patreon perk to have discussions with the hosts like this. instead you act like an insecure child over something you misheard or misunderstood.
Gene Park
childish? you’re the one commenting on OUR nintendo podcast where im a cohost flexing about how much you know about rap music. we could’ve had a fun civil discussion about it but you insist on showing how much smarter than you are and then you went off platform to search for shit. take a look at yourself man. it’s pathetic.
Gene Park
this is rich coming from someone who went through my old tweets lol everyone can see this
Gene Park
lol says the patreon commenter who searched up my tweets. you commented on an episode im on. you should be lucky im even replying to you here. you have no idea what my life is like and you barely comprehend sentences.
philip flood
Aight dude whatever you say lol. You're on patron posts looking for your name. I promise I touch more grass than you based on the sheer amount of time you tweet and post on the reddit/here. Your entire life is terminally online by design. Like it's telling how overly defensive you are about this. Be humble. I'm done, peace.
Gene Park
like you clearly don’t understand english when you think i said kendrick’s diss wasn’t mainstream news. like what the hell are you even hearing dude
Gene Park
i only have 2 tweets that barely mention wutang, my favorite group of all time. are you gonna tell me im a fake fan of them too? get over yourself dude.
Gene Park
dude touch grass
Gene Park
thanks man. i honestly don’t think my stories are all that weird. they’re pretty typical for someone who just gets out a lot. and thanks i’m trying hard to work on my stuttering
Gooch Gobbler
The new Smino is so damn good. He might be the most underrated rapper. He really said “I’m the Green Goblin, I’m leaving if she ain’t gobblin” and I felt that. True story, Meech threatened to knock me out at a show one time cause he didn’t like that I was crowdsurfing. Which was really weird cause they were constantly doing it the whole show lol I stopped buying vinyl cause I gotta save for a house but I was going crazy during Covid haha I gotta get more shelves if I want more
Bartevious
That would be sweet. I’m big into hip hop vinyl and love every artist you listed, and then some. Smino, Flatbush zombies, Saba, mick jenkins, Conway the machine, Boldy James, Rome streetz, coast contra, Mac miller, etc etc etc

Lol either way you weren't waiting on the future joint gene and you never talked about any of these artists before March this year., and you tweeted plenty about music when the beef was the big story of the year lmao. I know, I know, fact checking is annoying when you constantly embellish the truth to make yourself look more on the ground. So needless... There's nothing wrong with enjoying the wave but stop chirping like you were there at the start of it lol you can never just say you also enjoyed a thing. you always must insist you have greater knowledge of it or history with it when sometimes it's so obvious you dont. Stick to games man
Gooch Gobbler
Appreciate it, we gotta get a lil LSM music recommendations group or something
Gene Park
day 1 is just a turn of phrase. so weird yall act like my uptight ass fact checkers when in a normal conversation. i don’t talk about music on twitter because those tweets never go far because the algorithm doesnt have me in that lane. so why the fuck would i talk about future or metro before it started trending? and no it wasn’t rdc. it was the podcast complex ambition, who ive been listening to for a long time and we’ve been tight.
Glen Yelenovic
Certainly not defending China, but I wonder if the Switch online shutdown has something to do with a new Switch 2 store to replace it.
Bartevious
Holy good taste
Directional Joy
I agree. He DEFINITELY interrupts at times but, as he has said, it is over excitement with the conversation and NOT rudeness alone. He is working on it and, imo, he has already gotten better at it.
I guess I am a Sony Pony
I really don't understand the gene hate. He's an awesome addition to LSM seems like a lot of you are just envious. I mean if I told half the stories that have happened to me in my life some of you would call bullshit. Maybe some of you need to leave your homes a little bit more and be social in real life
Russell Robinson
Reincarnated is the best song.
NeO JD
Might be my fave ep of PU yet. Brad and Gene reacting to Micah’s weird takes always cracks me up. ❤️
NeO JD
I was taking it as a playful jab at Colin at the beginning. 😅
Shadi Haddad
But seriously. Brad, you'd love the new content in Persona 5 Royal
Joseph Gedgaudas
I've probably heard Kendrick before, but I couldn't pick out any of his songs. I only know Drake because he sang on Degrassi.
Gooch Gobbler
Mavi makes me proud to be from my city. Unlike Dababy lol his new album was incredible and when I saw him live his whole family was there, he rapped to his grandma, it was sweet
Jeffery Carlson
Of all the questionable Micah takes, including wanting to murder someone, hating Tails is by far the most egregious 🤣
philip flood
I mean not to call you out gene but you didn't mention the beef until one day after the album and song dropped, and you said (https://x.com/GenePark/status/1771549377133207610) "i just caught up with this beef". which doesn't add up with you saying you were "waiting for the future metro joint" or that you were "day 1". You also clearly didn't know (or mention, at least) control when you posted that tweet. also did a quick search and you never have mentioned future or metro on twitter once pre beef This still puts you ahead of a lot of gaming personalities when it comes to the beef who didn't pay attention until like, pushups or euphoria even. but you were clearly behind anyone keeping up with music at the time and seemingly learned about the beef from RDCWorld skits

Because it’s the holiday season, me and my wife like to randomly scream “Jamieeee” in our Arnold voice from Jingle All The Way. I could be downstairs and I hear her yell across the house 😂. We always have different voices going on around here
Gene Park
it's a lot of fun! glad it comes off
Gene Park
i actually know mavi! some journalism kids i spoke to for a lecture in North Carolina A&T turned me onto him.
Brandon Tyler
As someone who does own a switch but doesnt care much at all for the platform, I love the chemistry between Brad gene and Micah. Makes for a great listening experience
What does the N in NSYNC stand for
Man, immaculate vibes in this episode.
Gooch Gobbler
If you want some serious recommendations though, highly recommend Mavi (from my hometown of Charlotte, NC), Westside Gunn, Nxworries, JPEGMAFIA, Kenny Mason, Blu, MIKE, Joey Valence and Brae (if you like Beastie Boys), Freddie Gibbs, Navy Blue, Doechii. New Chief Keef goes crazy too
Gooch Gobbler
ah yes, indie artist Big Sean. Gene, I'm just giving you shit man. There were whisperings of a diss track before Like That dropped so if you heard about that, you were pretty plugged in. Gaming personalities do not seem to be very into music at all in general. My dream podcast is one that combines gaming/music news. What other rappers are you into Gene? I think you would like the rapper Sahbabii, he is the only rapper who could match your hornyness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAm0SelymRs
Gene Park
you get it 😬
Gene Park
what are you talking about. i said i was one of the first gaming personalities who started talking about it. i knew this was gonna be the story of 2024 from day one
Gene Park
the beef started years ago on control. like i said, i was on the 2024 beef news cycle from day one. i was waiting for the future metro joint
Robbie Agnew
Of course 😏
Philip Dunphy
Kendrick’s R&B side is dope too. It’s his year, let him have it. He’ll crush the super bowl and then disappear for 3-5 years like a boss.
What does the N in NSYNC stand for
Who’s that? Is that the guy with the song about syrup sandwiches?
Whiskeywhiskey
The chemistry between you three is awesome, the show makes me giddy when you guys vibe and say some horrible shit keep it up
Bartevious
Let’s go 3 Gene eps in a row for me 🔥
Bartevious
Colin constantly disrespects Outkast and says they’re essentially the black eyed peas lmao. Yes you can’t take rap opinions seriously here 🤣
Zac
Someone remind me to check the comment section next week to see how many people took Gene's Shuhei Yoshida bait 🤣
Gooch Gobbler
I’m just always surprised how people are so tapped in to one aspect of culture and not the rest lol like I’m obsessed with videogames, music, books, movies/tv, all of it! I honestly think it’s more surprising to hear “I’ve never heard Kendrick or Drake” than “I’ve never played a Mario or call of duty”. They also say this is newer music. Good Kid Mad City was a platinum album 12 years ago!!! And that wasn’t even Kendrick’s first project. Music is just everywhere, I don’t see how people avoid it lol
philip flood
not a shock these people don't know anything about rap considering they run gaming podcasts and are gaming journalists to be fair. Gene had a massive whiff there by acting like it wasn't massively groundbreaking mainstream news as soon as like that dropped lol
Gooch Gobbler
How have you never heard a Kendrick song as a human, let alone a young black woman? Also Gene, the beef started on a future album. One of the highest streamed artists of our generation. It wasn't exactly underground. Whole lot of hater energy from this comment which I don't like but hey, I had to say something lol I always get frustrated how no one in the world knows what is going on with rap. Always been way more obsessed with music than anyone else. I'll take any music talk I can get, at least it is better than Colin's takes lol
William Harding
Joy-Con™ actuallllyylylyly
Robbie Agnew
It’s Joycon!!!!
