The Prod.cast

Hello and welcome to another episode of the prodcast. Podcast where we talk life, work and occasionally music. My name is Switchblades for Kids and the other half of the podcast. Hello, I am Blake Bentley. How are we doing? Where's the mic? There it is. Hello. Can everyone hear him now? A complaint here. It's a little bit loud. Okay. Look, I'm really good. I've had a fucking incredible five days, but we can get into that later. First two days we're drinking, the next two days we're fucking crazy. Do you think I don't want to hear about this? And then to top it all off, tonight I benched 100 all solo. It was wild. It scared the shit out of me. Pokers. That's great. Yeah, it was pretty fun. How many reps? I only got one out. No, that's still good. Yeah, it felt really good. But as I came, the rule meets beats. One counts. Alright, one counts. It was good though, cause like, I built up. I didn't really build up. I was like 60. Then I did my eighty s and I did three sets of 80 for like eight and that's sort of where I'm sitting and I was like, that feels really good. It was like the eight to twelve sort of thing, but it was like ten, nine, eight. And then I was like, if I can do four reps and 90, I'm doing a rep of 100. And I just told myself I was just like, I'm going to fucking do it, I'm going to do it. And so I like, I attempted the four X 90, I pumped out six and I was like, well, maybe I can do two reps of 100. And I like loaded up and I like put on a good song. And then I just went and it came down and it went off real nice and easy. And the same thing happened the first time I tried fucking benching 100. It came down and my shoulder just went, I fell back, I was like, oh shit. Yeah, it was fine. It felt great. That first one, I was still riding the high. The first one, that second one came down and like it hit the safety cells. It's like, fuck yes, that's still wet. My PR is two I've already done. And the same thing on my third, my shoulder gave out and I was like, I don't know what possessed me to do it. I was just feeling man. Yeah, and that must be it. Because I really was just feeling I was like, these 80s are going up really nicely. And then the 90 went up real nicely and I was just like, I said that first rep of 100 was just like, down, up, and I was like, I've done it again, I've done it again. And now I've got a really bad headache. I've coughed a couple of times, like we're just talking before. I've just coughed a couple of times and it feels like the front of my head just wants to fucking explode. What's bad is I get migraines quite often and I know that feeling. It's so bad. I feel bad. I feel sorry for you. Look, okay, I'll live. Yeah. I'll live then tiny aneurysm and fucking

aneurysm. Sleepy Zach.

How you been doing, man? What's been cracking? I've been alright. I've been in the gym quite regularly. I've seen, which is nice. Keep seeing the Instagrams, the Tik toks great. Six days in a row again. And then I had oh, wait, no, because I've been today. No, I haven't. Oh, fuck. Eight days. Eight days. There you go. Yeah. This is all coming back from the day 100. Yeah. Pretty well, yeah. There you go. Yeah, cause I'm at 110 today. Yeah, but it's my eight. It's eight in a row at this point because I was like because then I had like a day off and then a day on then day off and day on because I was resting. But I'm ready to cut again. But this just means I'm going to eat no food. So upsetting. That's okay. Okay. So upsetting, man. No, dude, I've been eating so much food. Same. I went to a birthday party and had a fucking party pie in a bun with the cheese slice on it. Because why not? You know what? Why? Fuck him not. Okay. And then just had like chips and chalkys and shit. Delicious. Unless otherwise anything else happens. I'm going to the work Christmas thing this fucking weekend over at a local pub. A local pub. Nice. So I'm probably going to fucking have a couple of bevies and a lot of food. That's what happens at Christmas parties. Many Christmas parties. End of your event. Because they have a fucking it's like they're paying for stuff because it's like a four hour, five hour drink package or something. Yeah, dude, that was me for the fucking Thursday. Friday. Yeah. So I'm going to gee up, jackie up to drop me off. Yes. Oh, no, she can't because the fucking kids. Damn it. It's four homes. No, because another town over. That sucks. Damn it's. Going to say if it's in the same suburb, the pub is on the road, I'd walk home

easily. I would stumble. Look, my week's been all right. It's been busy. Oh, Jackie

flew. Yeah. It's so upsetting. She wasn't there. Chess bar wasn't there. I know. So you know what, I almost feel like I would have been more let down if I went and Chesborough wasn't there. You know what I mean? Yeah. Than me not going at all. I think I would have preferred to have not gone at all, honestly. No, actually that's a lie. Because I loved it.

Yeah, exactly, dude. And the warm bats would have been cool, but no, Jackie went and before going she was like, so what songs the Swim do? I was like,

most listened to artists. I went back and I was like, oh my god, I listened to so many flume songs. I listened to I think it was nearly 200 different artists this year. Yeah, mine was heaps. Yeah, you would have listened to Heaps. Yeah. Because the thing is, you have probably a playlist or it goes onto the radio source. I think I had like over a thousand. That's wild. Yeah. That's fucking huge. You had 60,000 minutes? Yeah. 60,000 minutes. That makes a lot of sense. I was only at 30,000 minutes. Yeah. That's wild. Speaking of fucking rapped, did you get your artist wrapped in? Shouldn't get an email about it. Mine came in. I think I checked it. I think it was negligible, honestly, which is a little upsetting. But then at the same time, I haven't done anything. You released it and then it got hot up for a fair while. And then I guess it is a consistency thing. Like if you keep sort of releasing it because the boys at work were fucking repping it hard. I could have just fucking gone off their fucking you know what I mean? They're hyped alone and just kept releasing music. And they would have hyped it for me. Honestly. I had a prime fucking a gateway. There a ticket. I had a golden ticket. I'm not going to Willy Wonker's fucking factory today. Willy Wonka's factory. I gotta go work. It's going to work though. Yeah. No, I got heaps of hours of sick. Well, it's funny because I realized that I hadn't released a single song or anything for over a year when my rap came in. Because I realized that the last song that I released was Cream of the Crop back in October 21, or it might have been November 21. And I was looking at it and I was like, damn, it's literally been that fucking long. Zach, can we make more music? Yeah. This is the broadcast producers to produce a dad's talk, work life, occasionally music. And we've been back in the prod. We have been in the prod. Yeah. But you know what it was that made me think of that is I've never been more jealous of anything in my life than Jackie for some reason. It was just like and then I said to myself, I was like, man, I think I'd rather be flue, honestly, in that situation. Fucking music and traveling around. Yeah. And just vibe it out. Hanging the chest over now and then. Yeah, that'd be sweet as hell. And Jackson, she goes, I was thinking that exact thing while watching Swoom. She's like, that was it. That's all I thought. She was like, yeah, Blake wants to be here. She's like, who are you?

Automatic music again. Well, actually, this is our reason I was saying I looked back at things I made back in 2021. Cause I haven't really made much this year of like massive note to me. Like, there's a couple of really decent oh, actually, that's a lot. I've made quite possibly my favorite song of all time and will always be because I made it with Harper and allo. This is the recent one I'll show you after. Yeah. You know what? Instead of entering it in part of the song, let's just slap it on at the end of the fucking podcast. Let's do it. Let's do it. I'll add it in. Add it at the start. Maybe. I don't know. Okay. It's quite aggressive at the start. I think maybe okay, we'll add at the end. We'll talk about it. Anyway, I'm so back and forth

what I'm trying to lead into here.

I know. There's so much going on. There's so much going on.

Brutally every day for someone. Every day for someone. No, I went ACAP. Shut up. Why are you doing this week doing this? No, it's so funny. I went ACAP. I did a holy production out there. We did a whole new production before I left or did a little bit more. As I came back, I thought to myself, like, just over the weekend, I was like, why don't I just fucking release it? We made songs that we just never really shut up for a second. Shut up for a second. Everything shut up. Fucking hell. Whatever you're trying to say right now, I'm trying to tell you because we fucking sit on the same exact wavelength. All right? So being you released, we didn't release we made a whole heap of really cool shit, right? And I made a holy cool shit when I was out of a cap. While I was out there, you were doing a heba cool shit as well. So what we do is we release the stop listening. We release the podcast 2021 as a fucking mixtape. Oh, that's lit. We release it together. We can probably be like Blake Bentley, fucking switchlights of kids. Like fucking the same thing. But it's called the podcast fucking mixtape. And we just date it the year. It's like these things that we haven't released. That's the coolest thing. And we just throw it out and we name them is like what they are too. Yeah. They're just dates. And that's it. That's so lit. Yeah. Because we have nothing except do some album art and some marketing. And we say, this is what we did market ever. That's the smartest idea ever. We just do it. We just release it. We pick our once. And I've got like maybe four or five just from the ACAP fucking thing alone. I've got a couple more that I'm ready to fucking go with. Like, I'm going to release that Arabian hiphop one just because I'm sick of holding on to it. I'm it just release gonna because I love it. I love that song. So do I. That's probably my favorite song you've ever made. It's my favorite song. I fucking love it. It's awe I come back to it and I'm like, this is it. You made literally a fucking platinum hit. You literally made a platinum beat. Like, you made a beat that someone could turn into if someone rapped over it and had the right marketing song good enough to get millions and millions and millions of streams and views and likes easily. But because we've no one knows who the fuck no one's heard it. So it's me and you. Yeah, but you know what I mean? Like, if Dre made this beat, it'd be the fucking song of 2022. You know what I mean? Because he'd get someone fucking as an artist on there who you know, brother. And we know no one. We don't know anyone. What we do is we release for ourselves and we fucking promote it through here and through fucking whatever it means possible. And we go and we have fun. Here it is. We say, here it is. This is what we did for an entire fucking year. And now look, we we like to have fun here at the broadcast, but we also like to look so far. So I don't know where I was going with that. Anyway, it's fun. We like to have fun. But let's get serious. Yeah. I was going to say we like to practice safe sex, but it just didn't sound right at the time. You're like, that's pretty funny. They just say it not funny. Yeah, I get that all. And you would just say, happy looking at me. I was like, I should say this.

I'm so tired. I'm very tired. I only just realized I had like five not even 5 hours to leave. I don't think neither is Jackie. Oh, man. That's rough. Yes, that's rough, kids. I tell you, right? I didn't get Harper to sleep till like, midnight ish. Yeah. Because wouldn't go to sleep till like fucking 10:00 or something. And then Harper and I because she was just fucked because she had two naps, I think. And again, I think we talked about this. She did this to me, like, not that long ago. She had two naps and didn't get sleep till 1130 or something. But we watched Lego Batman on the couch. That's what ended up happening when I left. We watched in almost the entirety. It's like a fucking 1 hour, 50 minutes, I think. Almost 2 hours. Yeah. Until she finally fell asleep. And I just couldn't because we were all just fucked. And I was too tired. And she was too tired. So we basically just like, laid on the couch. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. It was horrible. Anyway, we get through these things. Did you say music? I got some news. I know you know it as well, which is great. What do you know about Kanye West?

This is edge of your seat cutting. This is the bleeding edge of the knife in terms of there's a lot of things I like about Hitler. Okay. A lot of good things about Hitler. He did a lot of things good. Oh, man. Kanye, I'll say this. It is never a dull moment. Anytime this man is given the chance to speak, he shits the bed, he fumbles the bag. He really does, doesn't he? What a guy. When he went on Alex Jones and said, there's not everything about Hitler is bad, like, okay, who cares? What are you trying to say? That doesn't happen. I come every point. It was something like, he's a bad guy, but he does good things. And it was like, okay, I understand you, Kanye. You're trying to say that you're a bad guy and you do good things. Or you're saying that you're a good guy and you're accidentally doing bad things, or people perceive you as a bad guy, but you have also done good things. You know what I mean? I think he's trying to make parallels between him and, like, Trump or fucking himself. He's a man. He's just on a whole other fucking planet. He is completely unhinged. Like, he's completely unhinged as a person. He's unhinged. Like, you can't he's not a normal person. The one thing that has remained absolutely consistent is that

every time he's given a microphone, you don't know what the fuck is going to happen. It's going to be entertaining and it's going to cause a lot of shit. Ever since like Taylor Swift, right? That was it. That was the fucking the best video clip of time. I'm going to let you finish. Hold up. Because I don't remember much about him causing shit before that. You know what I mean? No, I don't really. Because he was making his producer. Yeah, he was making music at that point. So then he got real passionate about Beyonce having the best video clip all time. Actually, you know what, I love Tonya's fashion sense. He's like wearing a fucking this sick motorbike jacket and this zipped up balaclava that has no eyes or no mouth and he's still seeing through it and talking. Everything's fine. I think this started at Dunda where he just pulled over this fucking hood over his face and was even before then. Do you remember? He used to wear he used to have like this white fucking face mask. It was like a mask, but it had a face on it. And he used to walk around with it. No, I don't remember. I'll show you. And I'll show you so that you can get pictures for the video of this. But there's like pictures of him walking around with this white old man's face mask on. Like it's like a movie prop sort of face mask. And you just walk around. It sounds so familiar. He's so wild, though. Like, it's crazy. How many things can a person do that is just so fucking wild? Yeah, because we'll forget about the Hitler thing at some point because he'll do something else dumb. There's memes currently out at the moment that are like, but he released graduation. And then some dudes just, like, fucking flying over the punch, that guy. Yeah, we know he released graduation. That's a good what the fuck is he doing now? What the fuck is he doing? He's making it really hard to listen to his music. Get this. He got kicked off Twitter. Elon. Kick him off Twitter. And this is something so I got to read this sort of not verbatim, but I got to read what he actually said. This is about Elon Musk, by the way. He says, have you ever seen picks who have seen his picks as a child take a Chinese genius and made them with a South African supermodel? And we have an elon. I say an Elon book because they probably made ten to 30 Elons. And he's the first genetic hybrid that stuck. Well, let's not forget about Obama. And then he goes, I'm sorry for using curse words at church, but I don't have another word for Obama yet. Yay 24. Let's unify and find out. Luafo. Which I have no idea what that means, but Elon said, I take that as a compliment. And so Kanye says, It was meant as a compliment, my friend. Now, Obama, on the other hand and then it was like, dot, dot, dot. And then Elon's like, all right, you're done. Insight of violence. No shit. Band of Twitter incarcerate violence. And now Kanye is on truth social media with Trump's. Social media. Even though Trump has been and this is just a side note, trump has been unbanned from Twitter, and he's like, I'm not coming back. I'm not coming back. Wow, that was really good. That was really good. I'm not coming back. No, I've lost it. But it's fine. Thank you. He's staying on Truth with Kanye. And I guess no one can be banned off of Truth unless you go against Trump. Just go in there and you don't have any friends, and you make a post and you just go, Fuck Trump instantly. You don't even have any friends or anything. It's just the algorithm picked up what you did. Like, your email address is fucktrump 2002 4225-2525. Like number match. Yeah. So that's what's going on with Kanye at the moment. Elon is back on not liking him on Twitter because he can incite violence but still likes him. I guess they're not friends, but I guess they're like acquaintances at this point. Okay, that's weird. Like, less than what? Trump and Kanye because Kanye and Trump are apparently close friends. Why they are just because. Think of the fucking world we're living in, Blake. I know. It's just so dumb. It makes me say to the planet I know. It makes me hate, like, everything Internet. It really does. Fucking weird. Is it? You know how, like, you remember way back when I was saying there was a point in time where a samurai could send a fax to Abraham Lincoln. Yeah. Right now we're living in the right lifespan where Elon could fucking send a rocket in space with Kanye and Trump to the other side of the world in an hour and be on the other side of the planet, sort of shit. I'm pretty sure that is one of SpaceX's things, is like commercial rocket flights to other countries so that it's, like super fast. Instead of, like flying for 30 hours from fucking Brisbane to Paris or whatever. I'm not going to lie. That would be pretty fucking good. He's sick, right? That would be pretty good. An hour. It's like an hour's travel, like halfway across the world. Do you know how nice that would make, like, working anywhere in the world you're there, you just wait an hour. You know how quick an hour goes? Even if it was, say, 2 hours, 3 hours? Dude, I'd apply to work in places in the States. Yeah. I'd be like, all right, cool. I'll be there tomorrow. Easily. There's no, oh, I've got to catch a fucking two day flight or a day flight or whatever and get captions. It's fucking fucking do you imagine content creators, it just wouldn't matter where you live now? No. As long as you live close to like, a port, whatever. Yeah, what would it be? Yeah, that's pretty much it like a space port or a rocket port. Man. That's pretty cool. But obviously he's doing, like the space. I can't remember what they call the I have a Facebook who's got it. Starlink. Starlink. I've got a friend who's got it because he works with, like, solar panels and electric and all that sort of stuff. And he hooked it all up himself in that. And he's like, I get like 180 down and things like 100 up. And does he pay for that? Yeah.

Cool. The specs and shit. It's just wild because that was peak hour. He said he got like two to 300 up and like 200 down at night. He must be just doing all the time. Elon's just fucking fine. Rocking something. I could see more satellites I could be remembering wrong, but there was a lot of digits. Oh, yeah, it'd be fast. It'd be incredibly fast. It was really fast. I said I could be wrong. I don't know. We'll find out anyway. We'll talk to him later. Look, in the spirit of keeping it short because of my throbbing membrane, I'd say the same. Let's keep it rolling, eh? You good? Yeah. All right. Blake

ever since last week ever since last week, we just had the Googles. Yeah. Actually, can I say about my fucking Friday? Yes. It's my Thursday, because Thursday and Friday I both got, like, absolutely trashed. One was at work and one was at the Ipswich races. But at work it was Roamy birthday on the 1 December romy birthday, world AIDS Day. The 1 December, pinching a punch for a first day of the month and the start of everyone's advent calendar. Because Christmas is coming. The countdown at Christmas has begun currently. So, no, we got pissed for a rainy birthday and a soldier's luncheon. That's what they called it. We called it rainy Birthday, where we wear blue, yellow and red and then scream at everyone else and get drunk. And I started something when the big boss was doing his awards. I see I was doing his awards, and he's like, hey, man, fucking come up here. Grab this. They read out your registered number, your PM, keys, whatever. And they go, hey, this number. Come on up. Get a fucking commendation, and here's a Bronze Star. Whatever. I didn't listen to any of that shit. What I did do was after the first person left got their thing, I yelled at the top of my lungs, do a fucking shoey. And from then on, everyone was doing chewies. Nice. Everyone that came up to get an award because everyone's screaming and yelling. Yeah. And then in the dull fate of it all, I scream out and do a shoey. They do a shoey because someone just hands them a fucking shoe and a four X Gold and they fucking boost drinking. And then this happened nearly 20 times in a row. That's wild. Yeah. They're accepting awards or something. This is the army. This is the army. This is in the army. And this is like a heap of engineers. Like, these guys are like sappers. These guys are the fucking guys that make bridges. These are the guys that fucking minesweepers. These guys are literally the fucking there's a saying called follow the sapper. And it means if you're in front of me, you're going to blow up first. So follow the fucking sapper. Because he's got a fucking mind sweeper and he'll make sure you get through safe. The guys we work with, the combat engineers, are the hardest motherfuckers I know, right? The other guys, the Tradies, they're just like they're Tradies. They're like me and the guys up the workshops sort of shit because they're planning so they're like truck drivers and excavator drivers and fucking they're plant operators and like chippies, plumbers, Sparkies, fucking those kind of guys. Yeah. Literally building shit for the fucking army. Doing their job as a fucking builder to build buildings. Exactly. So it's basically an entire outdoor area filled with Tradies that are in the army. Plus these fucking EOD bomb tech dudes that are absolutely fucking mental. And the heap of combat engineers and like old crusty boys that are fucking mixed in with them. And everyone is just going fucking spastic, just drinking as much as they can. And there was no fights at all. Like, everyone was really happy the whole fucking time. Which is really strange because I thought they would have been into regiment, sort of like myths and stuff like that. We almost started the fight, like the entire workshop almost started the fight with 20 Year because we were singing Happy Birthday because it's Ramy birthday. We're singing Happy Birthday to Ramy. Happy birthday to us. Happy birthday, dear Raymie. And then the 20 year old guys started singing something else. And we just started building and throwing food at them. And then they all got up and we all got up and then the fucking and it was just like, okay, well, we won't fight then. And then we were after drinking and then we'll talk into them later and we'll just talk and shit like nothing happened. That's what you need. That's it. It's incredible. I've been a part of them before. Like soldiers dinners and shit like that. Like dining in nights and shit like that. Absolutely. Hectic everyone's on the piss and screaming and yelling and doing dumb shit all the time. Third day was like that but amplified. It was just crazy. Yeah. That fucking fucking bull. There like a fucking mechanical bull. Why? Why not? Why did I even ask that? Why not? I don't know. Did you use it? No, I was way too drunk. I looked at that thing

at that point of

it. And the beers are given us from Loose Mousse Brewing Company. I don't know if you've ever heard of them. They make a delicious ginger beer. Everything else sucks. But that ginger beer is delicious because I don't know, whatever they gave me was all flat. That's rough. Is it rough? Yeah. No. And then it just got wild. That was all Thursday into the night. And Friday was just go to the races, get drunk. And then I went to a Christmas party. I was thinking about going to the races, but then I was like, I can't be fucked. My friend is actually quite nice. I took Lucy for a walk. Not that I fucking hate that dog. She does my head. Not your dog. You don't walk that dog. Yeah, but I was like, you know what? I wanted to. I was like, because if I don't help train the dog, it's just going to be harder for myself. So I'm like, I'll just take her for a walk. So I went for like a four and a half K walk on Friday. Oh, no. And then took her back home. And then I drove back to the gym because I was like, you know what? I just walked four enough days. I'm not going to walk back to gym. Because I walked past Gym dog, it's not that far. And drove to the gym. But then I rode on the bike. So I've been doing cardio and anyway, had a really nice fucking workout, went and grabbed some food. Like just enjoyed the day as an actual day off of mental rest and like you know what I mean? I didn't just stay at home and do nothing. Like I actually went out, but. I don't know. I think my mic is real. fucky. It's recording real quiet again. I don't know if I realized anyway. I don't know. That's all right. I'll be able to fix it up with compression. You'll have to fix it. That's a producer term. Because I don't know why it's doing this. That's why we'll fix it up. That's dressed. That's dressed man. Looks like you're doing this now. Yeah, I'm, like, leaning on my desk on my fucking big thunder thighs.

I tell you what. You know what? I fucking hate swimming. I can't swim. I can swim.

Today we did a thing called an OC challenge, and it was

run to the pool, which is at two and a half k. Yeah, run to the pool, do 200 meters, and then run back. Okay, that sounds pretty rough. I did it in 40 minutes. I did it in 27 minutes. From the start line, it looked like he was sprinting. And I'm like I'm like, bud. But it's Monday. It's fucking Monday, my dude. Just calm your tits. But ever since you want to be that guy, though? Oh, God, no. Why would I want to run that fast? What am I running from? What the fuck am I running from? What do I need? First of all, why do I need to run that absolutely that fucking fast. All that far for that long, you know what I mean? I can run pretty good for maybe 200 meters. Like, pretty fast. For 200 meters, I'd say I can run decently fast. You probably can. But after that, I don't want to run anymore. Fuck.

I could jog pretty much infinitely. I've done it for about 15 k's before. No highs and wild, and it sucked. But I went seven and half k out. I went seven and half k back. And then I was like, oh, my legs kind of sore. My feet sore. And then that was about it. And then I got up the next day, and I was like, well, I still got to do another run because that's part of the session. And so I did another run, but it wasn't like, oh, I did so much yesterday. Oh, my legs are sober. It was like, yeah, I just got to run again, because you didn't really think about it. But I need it on fast. Not sure. Cardiovascular, right? Yeah. I'm starting to learn a bit more about what any of that shit means. Well, I figured out what actual jogging is. That's how dark I'm getting. My lights dying. Were we making the short? We weren't making the short. I figured out what jog it is real quick. Real quick. Yeah. Then we'll talk about music. Jogging is the pace at which you can comfortably hold a conversation and run. That is jogging running. You shouldn't be able to fucking talk to anyone. You're fucking puffing and puffing and like, you're going but that is like steady state running. Is you can talk to someone and run. Wow. Look, you know, you can do that for a long time. You can do that for a long time. I wouldn't hate getting to that point. Not going to lie. Well, you'd be surprised that you could probably do it now. You probably just are a lot slower than me. You'd be a little bit slower than me. But it's like, that's your pace to just keep mumbling to yourself or talking. That's just your pace. But your pace gets better when you do it more. Yeah, I've been doing more cardio and stuff. I've already said that so many times. It's good. Look like we can go on and on, obviously, even though we said right at the start, hey, let's do Max a 30 minutes pod talking about music. Like, what the fuck do we listen to this week? What the fuck did we listen to? I turned off real quick on it. Can I just say it's just the same shit. It's literally the same. I'm sitting here with a big chance. Why is he making just the same music? What do you mean? That's his job. I know, but it's like the same song for like three or four albums now. Yeah, that's what it feels like. It feels like it's the same fucking song for, like, albums. I don't want to listen to Drake anymore. I'm done. Just for everyone that doesn't understand what's going on this week, we listen to Her Loss by Drake, which was recommended by Mark. I'm sorry, Mark. It's not I'll 100% give you this. My first listen to this album, I was like, oh, man, this hits some of these fucking songs. I was like, fuck yeah. And then I listened to it again and I was like I gave it like a whole day rest. And I like to do a thing where I try and recall any sort of part of the oven. And all I can recall and which will forever be stuck in my head, is 21. Can you do something 21 and then it's 20? Because fucking Lats will constantly say, 21. 20. We've got 21 minutes left. And he's like, 21 every fucking time. Every time, without fucking fail.

He doesn't even know he's doing it. Unconsciously. He's like cracking his bag up. Yes, 21 minutes. He's just in the back quarter. He'll do it to himself.

We love you less. There's something that there's something that a song or like an album should do with its collection of songs is if there's like there's like, music that is for the album and then there's music for radio or for, like, specific reasons. Am I so bold? But like, there's usually songs that, like stick out, right? They grab your attention. I try to focus on it's. The thing it's like the opposite of focus. I'm just listening to the album and when something grabs my fucking attention, I'm like, this must be something good. Yeah. Nothing about this album has grabbed my attention. I don't know what it is, because the first time I listened, it was really good. The second time it was okay. And then when I gave it a couple of days, it was like a day rest. I thought about, can I remember anything? No. I gave a third listen on the third day, the whole entire album. I don't listen to part albums anymore. I listen to the entire fucking album because I sit down and fucking listen to it. And I was like, the third. Although it's like, he's done it again, but this time he's dragged in 21 Savage. He's done it again. I didn't enjoy it.

I think I got maybe two thirds, two thirds of the way through before I gave up. I was like, it's just can I relate to you? Sorry, I don't relate to you. Relay to you something that Tyler, the creator, said in an interview recently. Yeah. He was asked, Are you a beat maker or a producer? And he said, I'm a producer. And he's like, what do you mean by that? And he said, I live for those little moments in music when he's making the song. And there's a moment that only happens once in the song, and it makes him go, that's a fuck shit. You know? That's the thing. And when I listen back to all of the beats that Drake there might not have even been Drake or 21 that were making these beats. I don't care. Because they're not memorable. They should stop. Maybe. But they were really quite bland beats. And that was what happened in Selb. They were quite bland beat. Yeah, they were really boring and in. Oh, my God. Honestly, never mind. Honestly, never fucking mind.

Yeah, it was warning everyone and no one listened. Look, this is the thing. Is there's going to be a million Drake fanboys that are like, are going to be writing his fucking dick no matter what he does this on its first listen to me. If I listened to this once and then gave him my review, I'd be like, this is fucking hot. This is really cool. But the more I listen to it like I did with Cob, I was like, it gets worse. It gets worse than what I listen to. It is hot. It's hot garbage. Okay, what's your take? What's your take? It's hot. Garbage. Why? Just stop. It's already dead. Can I just say, I'm already not the biggest fan of 21 Savage, but in a really minor way because of what his feature was on the Calvin Harris album future Wave Bounces Too, where it was just like 21 got no impact on the song. There was no real oomph to it. And he does it again, this entire album where there's no real hits, there's no hooks, there's no he does something well, I don't know what it is because I can't remember it. Maybe there was something in there, but maybe it was so low key. Maybe everything is so undertoned and tongue in cheek. Or maybe it's just so above us. Maybe we don't understand what's going on. It's just drag being I don't know where the chorus is and fucking, is there even a course? Or is it just non stop rambling for fucking three minutes? Can you do something for me, please?

No, I'm done. I'm not even going to rate it. Is your rating honestly, never mind. Yes, that's my rating too. As much as I really wanted to like this, because I like Drake, man.

Yes. Like, take care, Scorpion.

Yes. There are just some really fucking good albums from Drake. Take Care is my favorite album. It's a goat album for me. I know every song, like in almost all the lyrics, every song, you know what I mean? There you go. Take care. Fucking good. Because it was like a good fucking album. And because fucking the Weekend, abel also like Ghost writers producer, he ghost produced it. We're not really ghost produced because he produced it when he was nobody. Yeah, there you go. He produced it when he was nobody. He's credited now. But I remember looking like when the Weekend just got on and I heard a rumor that he was the writer for Drake. Because I loved Drake at the time. I had a search. Like I tried to Wiki search and it wasn't coming up. No, it never said it was the Weekend. They go because he was still new. It was like when The Hills just came out. Like, the fucking Hills is such a good song. Old Drake. Yes. Go. Listen to old Drake. Don't listen to whatever before I can't feel my face come out. And then Drake went down besides, like a little bit after that when he released Scorpion. And it was like there's been a couple of hits here and there. But when you release three albums in a row, which is hot garbage, it's just upset. And I hate to say this, three flops in the space of a year. Yeah, surely, surely you'd be like, maybe this isn't for me. Maybe I should go back to live streaming and gambling. Go back to the fucking Degrassi high and just call yourself where you are. What's his name again? It's a girl's name.

Drake. Real name

orie Drake Graham? It's so fucking oh, shit. You've seen all the memes about him recently. It's just horrible. What has he got now? There's just so many memes about him just being bad. The Riz. Have you heard about the Riz? I think so. The Riz is just a look. And apparently Drake like, you know those like, you know, we just don't you know, we had the fucking love heart tattooed in his head, like when he first got it. And he was taking photos like duckfacing with like fluffy hoodies and shit like that. I like to imagine that those times like never existed. They exist and they are deep seated in my mind so that I can bring them up for conversations like this. Drake is so upset that I had to go through that.

Honestly. Never got the rise. I can't believe I get to say this,

mark, I hate to say it because you've been so on point with all the music that Wheels knew during Acre Hot. This swinging and miss for me, a big swinging and a miss. Very unfortunate for such a like a big name to do this again and again and again and fuck it up. I'll say this. I'll say this. Yup. There might be a good song on there. I can't find it. There might be a good song on there, but there ain't. You know what, man? This really fucking shifted me too. Because I remember giving JID Jim a bit of a maybe a worse off review because I didn't get enough time to sort of listen to the album. Yeah, when I listened to that last track, I've got that last track saved because I fucking love listening to it. I put it on in the car and I get fucking absolutely hot tub. It's called like, Louder two or Lauder too. I've got a few jodies on my playlist. It just fucking hits. Yeah, it just fucking hits. And it's at this point, Blake, that I just realized we have no idea what we're listening to next week.

We didn't discuss it and we're both very tired. So we're both going to look down at our phones for a second and we're both going to just search for an album real quick. New releases. New releases. Okay, we're here. Brockhampton's released the family just recently. Roddy Rich has released feed the streets. Three. Smashing Pumpkins has released at um item act one. Who else we got going on here, Roddy? Richard Winston surf shirt with pannakotta. No joke. There is a band called These New South Wales with their album TNSW. Bruce Springsteen is released called Only the Strong Survive.

What about Sire James Smith? Have we listened to that? No, I don't think we've listened to Jaden Smith. I think that was on our fucking list though. Yeah, I really fucking like that album. JoJo's released a new song or album? No album. Smithereens. You know what? I reckon Sire is a really nice contrast to Drake's album. Because sir, every song is so fucking unique. It's so weird. Exactly. So just to give you a bit of an ideal, sir, which one was the first one? Sir is the first one. I know Sigh is a good album. I remember listening to this during a cap because I was like, I want to hear what James Smith got to say. And it is something that we're going to listen to this week. I'm not even going to comment on it. I already know you've listened to it before. Yeah, I've listened to this, I think, two or three times through because I was so entranced with it. I've listened to this album, like, a lot. Like, enough times to know all of the songs, you know what I mean? Yeah. There isn't many on it, but it's still fuckers 17. What am I thinking of? Eris, maybe

man. Shoot. When did you go to a cap? Erisus, honey songs. No, dude. Maybe we try Arises aries better. No, we're doing silence. We're going to listen to sir from Jaden Smith because it's a lit album. Jaden Smith, the son of the famous actor Will Smith with his famous handsomers lapping Chris Rock across the face. Keep fucking my wife's mouth. Wait, no, that's not it. Wait, that's not it.

That's what is new. Sire by Jaden Smith. I'll just say this straight up, jaden Smith is also another dude that is just out of this world, unhinged as he is just an absolute weapon. I can't wait to listen this album. I really enjoyed this album already. Yeah, that's super biased. I'm going to be fucking absolutely critical on this fucking album. Yeah, of course. Which I always am, as you can tell by me. Absolutely fucking I'm never listening to another Drake album again. You can't get me sucked in for a fourth time. You suck at my big left way from Tuesday or what? It's ridiculous. Ten times sideways or what are we doing from the back?
