Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
don't break. We've done that before and we're doing it
again because we just realized have something in sixteen minutes.
Don't let him know. We gotta come on. We got
a pizza Hut delivery. We gotta get you don't like
it when it's been sitting out too long. I'm jack here, Miles.
(00:21):
Uh it is January six Uh. And so Biden took
a fucking flamethrower to this place. Dude, fucking how to
course in flombay with his fucking speech, just ripping Trump
apart without saying his name. Um, And I don't and
(00:43):
I get that. Don't give him, you know, don't gas
him up by saying his name at your mouth, but
you know, kind of make it vivid and say his
name because I feel like, you know, you want to
call people out, like with your chest out. Um. But
you know, he sounded serious. I'll give him that, Like
he was saying a lot of really interesting metaphor is
like someone trying to rob you at knife point and
put a knife to your throat, or some ship a
(01:04):
dagger to the throat of democracy. But like action, action,
that's the thing I think that's what's like. I'm I'm
fully not one of these people who's like, oh man,
he he sounded mad. I'm like, yeah, he sounded mad,
but he's he could be like my grandpa in old
age or like their mad for tenmenus then they forget
what they're mad about. Yeah, and it's he is the president.
(01:27):
I think, right, he's the president, so like he should
be able to like do stuff, pull a few strings
to to protect democracy. What's interesting is, like, you know,
conservatives have a you know whatever, This form of Republican
party is no problem in just pulling levers and then
not giving a funk what the fallout is. But you know,
(01:50):
that's the greatest I think that's the greatest gift the
Republicans have been given in Democrats is that they are
too shook to do anything if they feel that someone's
gonna get piste off about it, so just kind of
keep tiptoeing towards another coup are attempted triangulation. Hamilton is
trending because look, man, I really like Hamilton's as we
(02:15):
were talking about before we started recording, that the music
is good and you know the I I like history,
but Nancy Pelosi to commemorate January six through to the
cast of Hamilton's singing Dear thea Doja, which is one
of my favorite songs from Hamilton's. But it's just it's here.
(02:39):
Let's just play the audio because it's like, it's wild
to think, like we're talking about January six. Then you're
like pivoting to like and now this. Hamilton's singers, who
we'll hear from, said that they were all very honored
to be asked to participate today. I call your attention
to a new year brings hope for the future, new
(03:00):
energy to face the tasks ahead of us. This fool
is clearly reading also, but he's got they're playing on
it just a big screen. It's just a everybody like
sort of self taping to all right, don't get it
taken down, don't get us taken down, don't get us
(03:20):
don't get we're directly commenting on it that it's totally
lacking in addressing the severity of the moment and wholly inappropriate.
There it is commentary, fair used it the funk? Are
y'all doing commentary good? I was more concerned about the
legacy of Hamilton's here, but seriously, I don't know, Like
(03:41):
Hamilton's has definitely had a and and Lynn Manuel has
definitely had a I don't know. I was talking about
how like I feel like Banks and Obama should be
like on the same island together, just like parting it
up and pretending it's two thousand eight. Like I feel
like we might need to send Hamilton's to that same
island because they just, you know, even though there's some
(04:02):
good music in there, I feel like it has uh
aged like an overripe banana a little bit, just in
terms of its cultural, very place cultural everything. But yeah,
I mean, god, oh see it. We're looking down the
fucking just we're looking. We're in a grim tunnel trying
(04:24):
to find the light. And when we're looking for real answers,
tangible action, it's like, hey, I want a distraction, you
want a circus real quick? How about that? Mmmmmmmm um?
You know, I think what would the Adoza do? Right?
What would the Adozia do? Anytime I hear A Hamilton's song, now,
(04:45):
I'm gonna be picturing Nancy Pelosi just really like vibing
to it and just being like, yeah, it's single tear drops.
It's so this is so good. I like rap, I
mean I had an idea. Okay, so they overturned the
presidential election. What if we send some of the Hamilton's
singers to the Supreme Court and they can sing outside
(05:07):
the building while the armed goons round them up and
arrest them for being propagandists. Like what the funk is this?
But I get it. I guess the point was to
soothe people or something, But it just feels all the
songs about like the future of democracy and leaving the
country in a better place than it was before for
your children. You do that like at a rebuilding of
(05:29):
like a elementary school, you know, that's when it feels
nice to have the Hamilton's people come out, not when
not to commemorate, like, you know, people fucking die, you know,
and like many were injured and granted, like those people
who were being reckless and got hurt, that's on them.
But the situation is so grim. I think it just
(05:49):
feels it just it feels flippant to then just be
like how about this? Huh yeah? And finally, Elmo still going,
still going. The media controversy is ongoing. As we mentioned yesterday,
an old clip of Elmo yelling at someone for having
a pet rock, just pointing out that the pet rock
(06:09):
wasn't alive, channeling every frustrated parent and the ship that
they wished they could say if they were really mean
uh to to that rock, so that it was just
a funny clip. But then Elmo felt like he had
to come out and make a statement, being like, hey,
me and um, I forget the uh muppets name who
(06:34):
had the pet rock, but we're still tight U Joe, Zoe,
Me and Zoe are still friends. There's many there's Zoe
either Susie got so many clips to him going off. However,
funck that rock I think was essentially the the sentiment
he was like, I don't want to talk about Rocko.
So all I'm saying is internet sleuths keep digging because
(06:57):
he's he's hiding something I want, you know, I just
I just wish him peace because we've seen these kind
of these beefs out of like just spin out of
control and people end up getting hurt, and um, you know,
i'm'll just we get it, you know you all right,
let's say a quick break, we'll be right back, and
(07:26):
we're back and jis Lane Maxwell. I guess we haven't
talked about it since it happened over while we were
taking a little time off. Oh yeah, but she got
found guilty and yeah, so done and dusted. Can move on,
except there is a juror who um apparently I'll just
(07:51):
read directly from the Straits Times. I don't know who
where where these articles are coming from. The Drudge Report
links to some wild ship but um shocking. Uh. The
juror told reporters that he disclosed to the other members
of the jury during deliberations that he was a victim
of sexual abuse and further described his memory of those events.
(08:13):
According to the juror, his disclosure influenced the deliberations and
convinced other members of the jury to convictim as maxwell. Um,
which is like if the defense were writing like a
statement that one of the jurors could make to help
them overturn or have a retrial or whatever like that,
(08:35):
that would be the statement. Yeah. I mean, good lord,
it's like in your mind because I was like, oh wow,
that was quick. I'm like, okay, so she might get
gotten mysteriously because you know, you're just never when you
look at how much power is surrounding or the people
who are potentially implicated with her words and what Jeffrey
Epstein knew. They're like that just feels too clean. And
(08:58):
then now you're like, oh, look a may have messed
it all up, so it might need to be retried.
Um yeah, so that is uh, not great, but hopefully
there's still some accountability somewhere down the road. Aaliyah is
trending because there's a posthumous album coming this month from
(09:20):
her estate, which, as we've talked about before, is controlled
by her uncle, Barry Hankerson. Yeah, and yeah, not not great,
not great. Yeah, I mean and and again that's why
everyone was like, well, you know, the whole thing was
like where's her music on streaming? And was because of
the uncle. And then we finally got stuff on streaming.
And now there's this album called Unstoppable coming out and
(09:43):
people are like, oh shit, okay, this is like unreleased material,
this could be interesting. Then you look at how they're
promoting it, right, it's they're they're talking about all these
features that are on here, but it's like Snoop Neo Drake,
fucking Chris Brown Future, uh, like the Weekend and I'm like,
(10:05):
where's I'm sorry, I from what I remember Eliah did
a lot of had a lot of other like female artists,
you know, featuring on the tracks, and this just felt
it just I don't know, it's like completely not what
an Eliah album would be to me, Like Missy Elliott
would fucking be on? Is should be on? If this
is an Elia, where's Missy? That's that's like nailed on?
(10:26):
And where all the people that she loved to collaborate with.
And you think of all the other people that are
out there too like that. You know, if Eliah was
alive now, I think you have to look at it now,
she'd be wanted. She'd be like working with other really
dope singers. I'd be like where fucking Scissa, Like Scissor
would be right, she probably collaborate with Scissa or her
(10:48):
or fucking Salange or some ship. But I don't know,
Like I'm it's always weird when you have these artists
who passed and like someone's in control of the catalog
and it's like, hey man, you want to hear this,
and it's like this is so far off, like the
people you got to produce these vocals like don't have
completely misread what her whole catalog is about. So I'm yeah,
(11:12):
I don't know. Fucking Chris Brown on an Eala album. Yeah,
hard pass please? Uh? And Djokovic is trending again. Uh,
so this is an ongoing story. Last we checked in,
tennis star Novak joke. Yeah. So, last we checked in,
he had been granted I think by the Australian Tennis
(11:33):
uh you know, commission or whatever, a medical exemption with
regards to his ability to play in the Australian Open
because he's an antiaxer. And when he entered Australia he
was held at like a visa office and they were
saying that he didn't have the right visa. Turns out
(11:56):
Australia was just like no funk that you don't get
a medical exemption, can't come in here. Now he is
remaining in a quarantine hotel in basically immigration detention as
he awaits a decision according to the AP and that
seems like the right It seems like the right thing
(12:17):
for them not to let him in. But I don't know.
It seems like the longer something like this gets litigated,
the less faith I have that it will come down
to anything. But who has the better lawyers? Yeah, it
just it's just fucking tiring like that. It's a fucking
l when you're like already bending the rules because you're
(12:37):
not trying to upset your biggest spar And it's like,
what about this total disregard because I think there's no
one can connect the dots to like reckless behavior like this.
There's no disregard for the people who have to clean
up the mess, you know, like that whole the it's like, well,
I'm not sick or like, oh I just got sick.
(12:59):
It's like you might not know who many other people
you got sick, or understanding too that just by being
part of this like movement of people who don't give
a funk about transmitting a virus, that that makes things
so much harder for healthcare workers. Like I don't know
if people have ever spoken to someone who works in
a hospital recently. This ship is terrible and it's like
(13:20):
causing people that work in hospitals like fucking even like
you know, question their own belief in humanity, um, because
they have to see all this grim ship over and
over again. So cool Novak, very cool, more like Novaks,
Oh my god, oh my god, coming from I can't
(13:43):
believe it. That's a maybe. Do you think that's where
he got the idea? I don't know. I mean they
do say like people who are named Dennis tends to
are more likely to be uh, sexual predator, no, to
be dentists. Uh, And so maybe maybe that's what it is.
(14:05):
I don't know. Oh, people call him no Vak's Joe Covid.
Hell yeah, alright, the wind, the Internet stays undefeated. All
those are some of the things that are trending on
this Thursday, January six. We are back tomorrow with the
(14:25):
whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all then. Bye bye,
