Hello, hello, and welcome to this edition of Ice Trended Mocha. I'm Miles. Me. by Diet Coke. recently because they're childish coffee is hot chocolate and coffee and i love it can't drink coffee she has like i think she's an anxious person and that much caffeine will set her off yeah yeah she like has a chai latte and that's like too much for her so she likes the mochas when she's like feeling a little a little crazy when she had a good day at therapy she's like you know what i can handle a mocha today absolutely no don't you know if you ever want to play a prank you know give her some vietnamese coffee and oh she'll have a heart she will time travel that's what will happen um yes yes yes uh let us know what's your favorite childish thing to order i i started ordering at my local coffee shop they're like bro

you usually get like uh like green tea or something now you're drinking this i'm like hey baby this is delicious treat yourself every once in a while every and then yeah and then uh you know my wife she's like why are you she's like you're drinking that childish shit every morning it's like this why are you even drinking that shit i'm like because i'm a baby okay and me like chocolate um all, let's talk about what's trending. Up top, Donda 2 is trending. The album Nobody Asked For from Kanye West is out. The only reason I'm talking about it is because it's only available on something called the Stem Player, which is a piece of physical hardware that costs $200. So the hardware costs $200, not the album.

But that's what the album is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like to get it you gotta buy a stem player yeah it's like what u2 was trying to do with iphones except we we got it we're like oh shit it comes with a u2 album fine i'm sure they would have been like you gotta buy the thing for our new album but yeah this is it's an interesting player because for people who are my music fans out there it's called a stem player because you can actually break the songs songs up into stems like the individual tracks and they say you can customize the way you listen back so if you want to just all acapella

you could just hit the book the vocal button and just play the vocals or you just wanted to hear the kick drum the whole time with the vote whatever fine all that to say is uh i think there's about 6 000 people have already wasted their money on this thing it only takes one of y'all to put that shit on bit torrent come on folks come with it because we're not giving this man any more money uh yeah that is bananas could never be me uh you know i am not a music genius i don't know if i'd know how to use it it looks like a birth control machine from the future and or gives me old um what were they called shuffles ipod shuffle vibes you know you can't see anything you just click through no they're just like lights yeah

just i'm good and vibes no also, the other albums have been trash. Yeah, they've been bad for a minute. So I don't know what anyone is talking about. The last Kanye West album I bought, The College Dropout on vinyl, okay? And that's the last one worth it, you know? I mean, look, there's other ones, you know. This isn't a whole Kanye West debate.

I'm sure I'll end up watching the Netflix documentary because a few people are like, wow, it's really interesting to see how far he fell off. Because it's starting very early with him. But who knows? I think half the tracks are going to be attack tracks against Pete Davidson. I know, and I don't

really want to hear that. It's a no for me, dog. Oh, Brian said, Kids See Ghosts. Yeah, Kids See Ghosts was dope. Yeah, Kids See Ghosts. I like that track, especially the title track. I think that most deaf is doing,

I think, I don't know if he's credited, or I'm sorry, Yassine Bey is doing the Kids See Ghosts sometimes. Kids See Ghosts, spirit. That's, I know, I know M-O-S-D-E-F when I hear him. But let's move on to more pressing matters uh love is blind if you like

the first chunk you better be ready for the second chunk i'm fucking ready okay i already started i won't give any spoilers mouse because i know you haven't started part two but yes i'ma just say this is definitely not the same season as season one i loved season one so much because it was so chaotic so crazy but then like lauren and cameron were like people you're like oh my god this couple works they found love yeah and you just don't get that i think in this season that's like something that i think notoriously on the internet people feel bummed is that like you're not getting the same like connections like there's definitely some similar like mark um lauren you know like love triangle like that was season one's love triangle there's definitely a similar love triangle here in season oh yeah with mallory uh no no not that one. With Shane, Shane, and Natalie. Oh, Shane, Shana.

Shana and Natalie. Shane, Shana, and Natalie. Oh, that one's wild. I'm like, what? And he's like, can you not be so? He's like, he's, oh, I don't know. His voice literally makes my skin crawl. Like, I mean, when I was listening to it,

we're like, I can't believe anyone could date someone who sounds like that. Like, I would immediately veto. Without looking at his face, I'd be like, I cannot what about mallory though and what jared isn't that her mallory jared and sal and then but and then who's a homegirl that jared is clearly fucking lying to ayana ayana see i'm like why did you bring her in this mess now because you knew you should have done been with mallory yeah she knew that's what when they met up uh when they finally got to meet up after i was like oh shit he was on some like i knew you wanted a gold ring though yeah and it's like okay then what were you doing he's like and if that's

the case you need to go straight to ayana and be like hey i fucked up yeah i completely i should not have gone this far because i really should have been with Mallory. And hopefully she'll tell old boy that his ukulele playing ass isn't really her vibe. Every time he sings or plays his little instruments, I feel cringed. I'm like, oh. Although he is one of the men that I, I'm like, Sal is a real one out here. I think he's trying really hard. I think he deserves better. I think he deserves more.

But I feel like a lot of the characters this season were just kind of like not super redeemable, not super like you weren't rooting for anybody. I feel like this season. Oh, yeah. Like Shake. Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, like like episode one.

I was not for him. But like when the brown love was found, I was like, of course, the brown people found each other. Love that. But then his character just keeps getting worse and worse and the fact that he's like yeah i just view her as like my aunt i'm like you're sick and i think you're being internally like internalized racism like you're just like oh this is my first time dating a brown girl and she reminds me my family and it's like i think you're just being you have internalized racism like i think that's what it is oh yeah beautiful like she's beautiful and she's and he's like she's my soul mate and it's like well she's your soul mate then why do you keep saying she's like your aunt

because you know why he he did that thing where i was like you know he started off being like really doing asking those probing questions like hey can i lift you up at a fucking music show like can i get you on my show like you're vague you're superficial as fuck and you don't know anything beyond just looking at someone for their physical looks and you've never actually that's why it was interesting because he came around to um to deep d when he was like yo like she fucking gets me this is wild this is called fucking dating somebody who gets it for the first time exactly that's what happens sometimes and he couldn't and he even was like yo i was so stupid for like bringing up this other shit and i was like oh okay shake but

he's falling right back into it he doesn't he's got too much i don't know it's so i'm gonna i'm gonna look real closely these next uh couple episodes yeah um and also when he said he was like and i'm a dj i was like fucking slam the brakes and get off get the fuck off don't yeah i'm a veterinarian but oh that's cool but no i don't don't even define me by that shit i'm also like a edm dj no you're not okay yeah no no no no no no uh my god deeps you know i hope it all works out for you but i will be watching rest assured and next up national drink wine day hashtag national drink wine day is trending wow if you love the vino then today's your day i guess is 218 the 420 of wine or some shit i guess so i mean it's i i have

Diet Coke. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of

that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Viola Davis, Michelle Obama, First Lady, trending. Okay trending okay so what is the netflix show or showtime show it is a showtime show um it is i originally thought based on the way they're

promoting it it was just about michelle obama like viola davis playing michelle obama but it seems to be a show about like three iconic uh first ladies about eleanor roosevelt but betty ford and uh michelle obama obviously yeah i think uh it looks really good i am not super into like historical fiction pieces but i definitely will be tuning in because viola davis based on fiction i mean i'm assuming it's not slightly dramatized yeah it's not being like and michelle obama's husband was e40 well i say i guess dramatized history yes because to me i'm like historical fiction in the sense that like it's based on true events but yeah but they gotta tweak it a little bit yeah yeah um yeah she looks she's she's killing the part i mean vial davis such a

great performer and she's you can just like the voice her like vocal intonation you're in the lab fucking cooking this one up um and even yo jillian anderson to me is slowly becoming one of the more like underrated character actors i've seen between The Crown when I didn't even realize she was Margaret Thatcher I didn't realize until I stopped watching it. I was like, who's that Margaret Thatcher person? I'm like, that's Jillian Anderson? She's finding a bit of a lane. Yeah.

Michelle Pfeiffer. I'm excited. She's going to meet Betty Ford. Yeah. So good. So good. It'll be interesting to see how that all, like they, they weave the stories. It seems,

it doesn't look like they're just doing one after the other, or is it chunked out where it's like, here's the Michelle Obama block. Here's the Betty Ford. I'm not sure. I don't know if it's going to be like, cause I, it,

it looks like a series. It's probably gonna be a limited series. I don't know if it's going to be like episodic where it's like, this is a Michelle episode. This is, you know, or if it's gonna be like based on their experiences, like an episode around this type of topic featuring all three of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cause there's a moment I know in the trailer where you see Michelle Obama look at a portrait of Betty Ford and then they cut to Betty Ford. And I'm like, oh, that's kind of interesting because the one ever present is the White House. And, you know, they can talk about all kinds of untold war crimes from that place.

Now, the next thing that's trending, which was news to me, shout out our other super producer, Tricia, who came through, started typing something, I said, what's going on influencers what she said they're partying at the american girl doll store i said what the fuck does that mean i would look at this tiktok this like sort of funny tiktoker was like come

save my life right now but basically it would be like this experience where you go with like a party of girls and you all get dolls and like you dress them up and then you have like a breakfast lunch whatever experience and you pay for it as like a party but now i guess is going viral on tiktok all the like i would say primarily white new york influencer girlies are going there because it's actually very cheap i think that is what has become very viral about it is that it's a cheap brunch experiment where experience where you can get obliterated whereas like in new york if you go to brunch usually not cheap it's very expensive so and like i mean look if if you don't

like a trap brunch then and american girl doll brunch is more your thing then go ahead there's one in la where i used to go a trap brunch it would get fucking dire in there it's so scary when you drink your ninth bottle of wycliffe uh sparkling wine with like shitty orange juice i was i'll be melted they did have a loco moco uh like breakfast thing that they did in there fucking delicious oh yeah there's a popular one I feel like in Harlem and then I have friends in Flatbush that go to one too and every time I see their stories is so crazy I'm not that kind of girl I don't like a day drink because I am anxious and I like to make sure I can do things during my day oh wow I do brunch, I will just be gone.
