Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendified
lover Boy. Uh yeah, I am Jack, you are mother.
That is my nickname, Trendified lover boy. They know that,
they know that, they know. Have you? Have you listened
to the new Drake album, Certified lover Boy, coincidentally named

(00:22):
I got through the first uh fifteen tracks? You know
they cheesecake factory men use of albums Kanye and Drake.
It's like, you know, there's gonna be like some some
good stuff in there, but it is so much. Just
give me fucking focused albums, not like and I get

(00:46):
it too, because then they they'll put in like little
interludes or things that have no backbeat and I don't
And that's fine. I don't always need a backbeat. And
you can just you can just go over like light
melodies and ship. But I don't know, I'm what ever
trying to find love her boy, lover her boy? Who
are you? Who are? We did the word to go

(01:06):
through Donda to find the five good songs. In my opinion,
Jesus Lord is the best. Jesus Lord, Hurricane Jonah. People
seem to really like off the grid. I'm I'm alright
on it, but those are the ones and then everything
else I feel like it is filler. Um. I mean,
it's like I'm just trying to think what Kanye you know,

(01:29):
because late registrations like twenty one tracks, you know what
I mean? And so is um college dropout is like
over twenty tracks. Beautiful, my beautiful, darctors that'sh it's thirteen,
So that's thirteen and graduation has thirteen. So you know,
he kind of runs the gamut of stuff. But at

(01:50):
the same time, like you all, we also know in
the background is like this whole thing with Spotify and
like that's how you dominate the charts and just like
continue to listen. So it's not I don't know. I'm
just like, please just just give me something where it's
I can I don't have to like constantly be hitting
skip or feel like I'm groaning listening to Ship through

(02:11):
the whole time. But I don't know made it through
on Drake what any It just feels like sort of
like what I heard when I was going through the
first couple of Like, here's the thing, I Kanye West
is more talented than Drake in terms of that he
has He's a he's a lyricist and he's a producer,
like and he's a musician and he has that whole thing.

(02:33):
Um so, like so I can't It's it's hard for
me to compare because he's Kanye has a lot of
hands in the beats he's making, where Drake he's like
usually doing it with you know, forty and so that
the album sound kind of like the tracks have like
an aesthetic to them. They all just kind of started
sounding the same. I don't know, like it just feels

(02:54):
a little bit like I'm your people are getting taken
for granted because they're like, who's better than me? Now
take take these twenty tracks and smoke them right? Yeah yeah,
but I don't know. I'm going to give it the
proper headphone treatment this weekend, um and and I'll have
I'll have more thoughts, But I don't know. As I
said before, Kanye is pretty oh yeah yeah, bridle Path

(03:19):
was a seven am on bridle Path, I mean before
we started recording, that was I mean that. So the
one thing I'll say is like Kanye is a better musician,
Drake is a much better rapper. Kanye is Kanye barely
wraps on this album, and like Uh, he has one
really like two really good verses. Yeah, otherwise that's pretty

(03:39):
and Kanye is capable of of good lyrics. But I
think he's just he's his as his art evolves or
whatever his you know, how he perceives himself to be. Yeah,
we we get, we get sometimes we get mc Kanye,
sometimes we don't UM but I don't know. I'm just
I'm underwhelmed with both. I will say that that is like,
it's not one of those things because I when I

(04:01):
was going through UM Certified lover Boy, I was doing
the ship I used to do when I was twelve
and I got an album where I'm like, I know,
I like this one song on here, but they didn't
have a single, So I'd buy the whole fucking album
and to get to it, I'd be like, all right,
was this one if the beat? If I wasn't working
with the beat off top skip skip skip, Like that

(04:23):
was my tolerance for music at the time. And then
I'd go back and like, I missed a lot of ship.
I may be doing that with this, but a lot
of things is we're kind of blending into you know,
Drake's songs switch up in the middle, so you gotta
skip to the middle of the song. Yeah, especially with
Travis Scott, like you don't even even have nine songs
and one all that to say, little Little Sims, that's
a good yeah, that's what you were saying, Little Sims.

(04:44):
I got yeah, because that's you know, I think. The
other thing, just to say about both of them, I
was I would love to see something that was pushing
things a little bit forward. They're relying on kind of
like their usual fair to make this album rather than
kind of pushing their boat out and being like, here's
let me, let me try something new. Here's this is
what I've been doing over last year, and I keep

(05:05):
talking about this. The other thing is Drake puts out
all these fucking albums in between albums, and some of
the ship is better on that, Like, yeah, like what
the funk? Why isn't that on here? Why did you
put out that other? So I don't know that there's
a lot of you know, it's all to make money,
but just bring the fucking heat please. I'm old and

(05:27):
my backpack straps are getting worn out. Okay, I can't
keep doing Let's see, there's some news in uh COVID
reporting this week that we never really got to in
the main show, so I just wanted to put it
on people's radars. Basically, wild cases are surging in Florida.

(05:48):
Their numbers seem to be going down, and the reason
for that is because they changed how they're reporting COVID deaths.
On Monday of this week, as things are looking really bad,
they changed how they're reporting it so that it used
to be once a death was attributed to COVID, it

(06:08):
would just be like added to the total for that week.
Now they're like backdating it to when the death happened.
So because it takes like a couple of weeks for
people to officially designate cause of death, they like the
numbers are getting added to like two three weeks ago,
and they will always be because it takes a couple weeks,

(06:31):
so you'll never have a high number like in the
current there the current day, which is by design so UM.
For instance, on Monday, Florida reported forty two new death
UM and it was actually like based on the numbers
they had been using, it was actually two hundred sixty two.

(06:52):
So not like it's not a fucking competition or whatever,
but it is like just shows very Trumpian like attempt
to just break with reality without trying to address the
underlying problem. Yeah. So there they just changed the game
on these hoes basically as Jay Z said, to change

(07:15):
the game and lee some BOMs. Wow, got cynicism at
its at its height, just to be like yeah, I
mean this is like kids ship, you know what I mean,
Like this is like the kind of problem solving you
do when you lie as a kid. We're like, what
was it? One? I just changed up everything to make
it look as way on the woman except for dealing

(07:38):
people's lives. So yeah, another kind of detail of an
overarching story, uh is who cable news was having on
to talk about the Afghan war and the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
A lot of the experts, it turns out, where the
people who got rich off of the forever reward no right,

(08:02):
So people who were profiting off of it, where the
ones are like it's a disaster, we gotta go back
for more, and like nobody else they would they would
have like you know, somebody on in between, like for
like a couple of minutes who would like have an
alternate point of view. But it was basically wall to
wall people who were like, this is a disaster because

(08:24):
this is a quote, it hurts America's national honor and
is a shameful display of American leadership, just like the
Vegas ship and then like saying they should have stayed
until some time next year. But uh, Number one, number
one stunner of this is Jack Keene, who is former
military brass and like many former military leaders I had

(08:48):
also been making funkloads of money from weapons and equipment manufacturers.
In this case, he's an executive chairman of a m
general who had a four and fifty nine million dollar
contract to provide two thousand humbies to the Afghanistan war
through three sits on the board of a company that

(09:09):
makes chemical lights for the military. So just you know that.
And it's like we talked about there's a whole region
of the country in northern Virginia that just got very
rich over the past twenty years by being like the
facilitators of these forever wars. Um hmm, God, Because I

(09:30):
remember there was like, Wow, you got all every news
channels like you all got nothing but hawks on here
to talk about this. The only fucking perspective is the
hawk first boar hawk. You just hawkery, so many hawks.
I thought Trey Young and Dominique Wilkins were about to
pull up and give their take on it too, because
everything was just about like does that No, Not barely

(09:51):
anyone was like, yeah, I mean this was a failure.
Uh that this form of trying to like bring democracy
to a country is just a terribly failed experiment. I
hope we can move on rather than being like, you know,
China now now they're going to be creeping in, you know,
just training in like a public relations l instead of like,

(10:15):
you know what the massive disaster from day one that
it was Yeah, like you said, it was across the board.
CNN had Leon Panetta on comparing to withdraw to the
Bay of Pigs. He is the senior counselor for a
defense consulting firm and a member of Oracles board of directors.
David Petraeus made the cable News round Das called it

(10:38):
a Dunkirk moment and said Biden should literally reverse his decision.
And he's on the board of cybersecurity firm that contracts
with the Department of Defense and as a partner at
a private equity firm with a major stake in defense spending.
But yeah, Keen is the true goat. Before his current job,
he was the director of Weapons Giant General Dynamics and

(11:01):
adviser to at Ketami, which is you might not know
that name, but you probably know them by their former
name Blackwater. Oh yes, for good. Yeah, and that's who
was like the number one m v P for the
week of the Afghanistan withdrawal on cable news. That's like, yeah,

(11:24):
that's like having if if there was like the prohibition
debate was going on in this century, and it's like okay,
And to give their take, Samuel Adams this year to
speak on this. It's a debate between Samuel will Adams. Uh.
Mr Jack Daniels and his cousin Jim Beam are here
to tell you why they think this is a very

(11:45):
dangerous road to go down. I'm just a local man
from Tennessee and I'm from Kentucky and we just we
just think this is a bad idea. Don't look into
our past. We're profiting directly off of this happening. So yeah, yeah, alright,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and

(12:13):
we're back. And another miles, a lesser miles. Uh he
so miles Teller who was was great and whiplash and
then immediately like just turned into the worst or was
the worst all along, but has been just a shitty dude. Yeah,

(12:37):
he tested positive for COVID and refused the vaccine and
is basically shutting down a movie that he's working on, which,
fun fact is the movie where he was cast to
replace Armie Hammer. So they've yeah, I've had a bad run. Yeah,

(12:57):
that's a curse, that's a cursed production. Then yeah, because
they said this is the thing, there's like this is
published in the Daily Mail, so take it with a
grain of salt. But the production has been shut down.
But they said their source said that Miles Teller is
not vaccinated. He wouldn't even get the test. Now he's
brought the virus to the set and the whole set
had to be shut down. Um, but this dud wouldn't

(13:19):
even test, Okay, tough guy. The publicist for him said
your facts are incorrect, but declined to elaborate further. So
the offer, I actually didn't know. I thought it was
the rom com with j Lo, But this is a
show about the making of the Godfather. Alongside Giovanni Ribisi,

(13:40):
Colin Hanks, Matthew Good, Juno Temple, and Dan full Vogler.
It's at least an interesting project I didn't know existed
before this news story. Mm hm, well, I will be
on the lookout for that to continue to be derailed
by shitty man, on the lookout to just fucking punk

(14:00):
miles tellers that's around town telling me can't even drum good? Yeah,
uh I did. Like I I got the feeling watching
Whiplash that if I knew anything about drumming, I would
be like, oh my god, what is he doing? Because
he was not convincing from I mean I yeah, look,
I know some jazz drummers. I heard their takes on it.

(14:22):
They were not feeling it. It would be like a
movie about a writer who like right so hard and
so much that his fingers start to bleed because like
the thing that happens like it's drumming so hard that
his hands starts to Bleedfly. You are just trying to
hit a double time swing on a fucking symbol. Your
hands shouldn't your techniques fucked up? Your hands are bleeding

(14:46):
like you should. You're holding this stick wrong. You ain't.
You ain't throwing it. You ain't getting that bounce. Uh so, yeah,
it would be like if someone wrote a movie about
basketball and the dude was just taking free throws to
his like his his hands bleed, or some ship in
the ball to his hands bleed. Yeah. I get people
love the ride. I think for me, I unfortunately, I

(15:07):
was in that group of like people who have been
in like competitive like bands and like jazz bands and like,
you know, being a fucking trumpet overachiever type kid. And
I was like, oh, they're getting it all wrong. But
I was able to sort of put that at the
door because I already paid the money to see the
film at the time, so I was in the theater

(15:28):
and I wasn't gonna walk out like I did um
Anger Management many years ago. You walked out of Anger Management. Yeah,
oh dude, that movie gets so good. Really, I think
it was just my my experience having very toxic teachers
and coaches that were very formative to me. I was, man,

(15:51):
I had a hockey coach that was like that, and
I told my mom to take me off the team.
I was like, this guys sucking my head up. I
was five, you know, at five. Yeah, it was his
French Canadian coach, and he would scream, Man, I didn't
even understand him because his kebe qua like vibe was
so thick. I didn't know what he was saying. I
just know like, you gotta get mom. And I'm like, oh, man,

(16:11):
I'm I don't this is this isn't my This isn't
my communication style, baby communic. Yeah, like you're not going, Hey, look,
Jean Luke is not gonna go down like this with me.
If you want, if you want to get the best
out of me, connect with me on a human level,
and then that's how you motivate me. Yeah, all right,
let's talk about Hershe's Uh. They are, um trying to

(16:37):
basically say that nobody can make a Hershey's kiss shaped
um piece of chocolate anymore. So like that teardrop shape. Yeah,
they think they own it, which is a very weird thing. Um,
but it's coming out in a lawsuit because there's this
Berkeley bakery called the Cookie Department, and they make like

(17:00):
a cookie that has like a big old chocolate chip
in the middle of it that looks like a Hershey Kiss.
And that's what they're doing, is they're suing Hershey for
the right to keep using this like tear drop shaped
chocolate chip on its packaging because hers she complained that
they're like, that looks like our that looks like our
proprietary form, the Hershey's Kiss and you know they're the

(17:24):
cookie Department. They said, look, you know the the Oh
they're like they threatened us with a trademark lawsuit, and
so we just figured, fuck it, let's we'll come at
them straight for their next because they believe that they
have a very weak case because this is just how
all chocolate chips look, you know, like there's just bigger
like because on some level it's being piped out in

(17:47):
the same process and being made to like on and
and dry in that shape because it's coming out in
globs and that's your shape. But yeah, they think they
own it. Yeah, that's a that's a good At first,
I was like, that is kind of like iconic, but yeah,
it's also the shape of all chocolate chips or anything
that's like piped out and has to dry, like it's

(18:09):
gonna have a little more of a conical field to
it because of science. So it's like almost like unless
they're saying they are the only people who can are
allowed to make a chocolate chip like that, what's the
problem here? We'll see as much as I hate to say,
because I know that they and all chocolate companies are
usually such stand up organizations, don't look into how they cultivated.

(18:32):
And then finally we wanted to check in one more
time with our good buddy the Q and on Shaman. Uh,
he took a plea deal, says he is no longer
part of the que movement um and yeah, that's great. Wow,
we've solved it, y'all. Go back to work, folks, No
need for anything. Q. Shaman has done a one eighty. Yeah.

(18:55):
He he basically took a plea and you know, cop
to the most serious charge he was facing, which was
obstruction of an official proceeding. Uh. He had six charges
at first, and that could have put him in the
slammer for twenty eight years. But he took the plea
deal and now it's just the one case and they
say it could be around fifty one months in prison. Um,

(19:18):
so four years possibly, even though you know he's leaving
notes like it's only a matter of time. Justice is coming,
like in the Senate Chamber, and the I was like, yo,
you're making threads, like oh, no, no, just like very
non threatening, just kind of like that justice was coming. Okay,
why did you bring a fucking spear? Then? Oh, because
I'm very non biosis that I just got I just
got car I just got carried away. Man, I got

(19:39):
carried away and Donald Trump made me believe stuff. And
so now that I have I've had my organic food,
which I made a big fit about in prison, I've
regained my acuity. That's what his lawyer said. He has
regained his Yeah, because the whole thing was based on
they were going this thing like he was being deceived.
He was like in the right mindset to sort of

(20:01):
pass through like this being real or not. And now
he's like like, oh, no, I've I've seen the light. Um,
because I was able to have my kale in prison. Well,
most other people don't get that. Hancy privileged to be
like my cu shaman religious beliefs basically keep me from
eating this simulated bolognay sandwich. Jesus Anyways, Well, well good

(20:26):
for him. We got one one more good guy in
the world seen the light. Yeah. Well, the other thing
that's funny is there's another jam six dude who he
was like, yeah, I'm my honor. I'm off this Q nonsense.
I'm good. I don't I'll never do anything bad again.
So part of his um terms of release are like, Okay, well,

(20:46):
then you stay the funk off the Internet because that's
how you got here, right, Yeah, I don't even need
it anymore because I'm I'm not on that at all.
This motherfucker had to go back to jail because he
couldn't resist ning into Mike Lindell's pillow telethon see Sales
a thon he was having that was disguised as a

(21:06):
stop the Steel convention, and so they're like, sir, we're
looking at check you were back on that ship. And
he's like, oh, how do you see that? How did they?
I mean, I'm sure at that point, like it's very
so like yeah, just you know, we're gonna monitor your
your Internet. You have like a child controls on your ship, right,

(21:28):
So I don't know, I mean, it just definitely feels
like a lot of people in this insurrection are getting
away with the the one excuse most people of color
can't use, which is oops, I didn't know I couldn't
do that, right, um Man, I have my cane now,
my owner. Yeah, all right, well that is going to
do it for us for this week, season two hundred

(21:51):
in the books. We did it, man, Yeah, we're back.
We did it. We did it. We are taking Monday
the show like this, hey do we did it? Man?
Fuck it all right later and the show stopped. We
are taking Monday off and every day after that because

(22:11):
we always said we're gonna do just to prove, just
to prove them wrong, prove the haters wrong. Yeah, they
all said we couldn't do it. Anyways, We will be
back maybe on Tuesday. Alright, We're good. Then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine,

(22:34):
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will touch
you all that. Bye. By
