Burning Questions: Is The New Kendrick Lamar Album Is Great? Is Coachella Cooked?

Steven and Ian open this week's episode with a quick (actually kind of long!) "yay or nay" segment on Thanksgiving food. Does anyone actually like turkey? Let's find out (3:30)! After a quick Plug-cast on the yacht rock doc that Steven worked on (14:32), the guys confirm that Steven finally won an Fantasy Albums Draft thanks to the latest Father John Misty (uproxx.com/indie/father-john-misty-best-songs-…) record (16:30).
From there, they talk about the "surprise" Kendrick Lamar album (uproxx.com/music/kendrick-lamar-gnx-deluxe-ver…) that dropped last week, GNX, and what it means for the man's overall legacy (20:50). They also discuss the latest Coachella lineup and whether the festival is finally cooked (35:53). In the mailbag, they do an update on the "Dudes Rock!" QB conversation (48:51).
In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the new Tegan And Sara (uproxx.com/indie/tegan-and-sara-interview-audi…) documentary and Steven recommends the latest record from Office Culture (53:57).
