    [DISCLAIMER: WE'RE ALL CAUGHT UP! Please expect our regular scheduled programming to now be relevant and up-to-date in regards to any ongoing topics regarding current events moving forward. ] To say that the weekend of May 3rd was explosive would be an understatement. Cam & Roo start off the episode reflecting this, as since Episode 7, Drake and Kendrick combined released 5 songs within a matter of 72 hours within their epic battle. We take this episode to break down how the weekend played out from our perspective as listeners, and hypothesize our own assumptions for how we believe this is beef is going to come to an end. Although Drake and Kendrick may have stopped the momentum temporarily, we may not be at the very end of what seems to be a heated rivalry between two of the music industry's greatest artists. On a much lighter note... have you guys ever witnessed anybody openly consume drugs within a bar? Well - do we have a story for you... All that, and then some, on this week's episode of When To Say When! #podcast #comedy #drake #kendricklamar #familymatters #euphoria #notlikeus ======================================= 00:00 - 00:35 Opening Seg00:35 - 01:12 WTSW Introduction01:13 - 04:37 Welcome Back!04:38 - 13:25 Sitting Sideways… at the club 13:26 - 14:41 Get your skillets ready… the BEEF IS COOKING!14:41 - 16:30 Cam gets his bars off early…16:31 - 21:52 The real life consequences of this beef we're not speaking on22:01 - 23:20 ROO APOLOGIZES ABOUT LAST EPISODE!23:21 - 28:22 The initial feelings in regards to Drake's first disses & Kendrick's Euphoria28:13 - 30:41 6:16 in LA and the parody within making a timestamp song30:42 - 36:30 Family Matters happens.36:31 - 47:11 The bombshell that was “Meet the Grahams”… and the black hole it causes.47:20 - 50:20 Kendrick drops his red button… Not Like Us.

Hindsight is 20/20 with this episode's events so we thank you for your continued patience, and ask to ENJOY THE RIDE!) Roo's high energy and Cam's debauchery sets the stage for this episode as the boys began to initiate the debate about what will follow next after Drake's first official single release of 2024 concerning the recent disses towards him. (P.S We all know what came next. But more on that next week.) Kanye West decides to jump in the mix like a WWE Royal Rumble challenger, delivering a remix of the song “Like That” that does cause a few head scratches. The attention then shifts towards social media, where Cam and Roo react to the people's responses following some of the more outlandish takes they've shared so far on WTSW and overall how President Biden's signature on the “TikTok Ban” could affect small content creators in terms of developing their business. Did we mention Ryan Garcia delivered a stunning victory over Devin Haney? Well… All that & more on this week episode of When to Say When!

YA DIG?*** Something fishy is going on here... or maybe its the Sardines? Regardless, after starting off by consuming gas station fish, Cam & Roo get into the novelty of April Fools and why they feel it has become a B-Tier Holiday over the years - whether it be age, or the lack of ACTUAL thoughtful April Fools jokes. After finding out live on air that Bronny James would be transferring from USC (and declaring himself for the NCAA draft while maintaining his eligibility), the boys begin the traumatic process of reliving through their worse school subjects in grade school and get into what we believe is the DEBATE OF THE CENTURY: History vs Math. To lighten the mood and end the episode on a high note, the boys play a game of "Don't Say the Same Answer" where the objective is to try to avoid giving the same answer in response to the question provided concerning different topics... & the loser has to pay their dues.

After those shenanigans are over, they reflect on Big Sean's "Clarity" post he made recently and discuss the importance of attention to detail and the success it brings in any career field.
