Travis and Emma are not fans of white culture.

WEBVTT

00:00:13.390 --> 00:00:16.530
I'm Travis. I'm Emma. And this is Bestie Approved.

00:00:17.289 --> 00:00:20.629
What's the last song you listened to? Mine was

00:00:20.629 --> 00:00:25.989
Make Damn Sure by Taking Back Sunday. Nice. Mine

00:00:25.989 --> 00:00:32.090
was Too Close by Josh Fawaz. And he dropped a

00:00:32.090 --> 00:00:36.369
whole new album. And I feel like his like that

00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:38.189
entire thing is going to be my last song for

00:00:38.189 --> 00:00:41.509
the next six weeks. Oh, I love it. It's so good.

00:00:43.870 --> 00:00:46.390
We have a lot on the list today. Yeah. Where

00:00:46.390 --> 00:00:49.710
do we want to start? Hot dog boys. Hot dog boys.

00:00:49.729 --> 00:00:54.609
We have like an angel and a devil hot dog guy

00:00:54.609 --> 00:01:00.329
on Indianapolis's shoulders. Yes. You can start

00:01:00.329 --> 00:01:03.229
with the angel. So there is a guy, his name on

00:01:03.229 --> 00:01:05.209
TikTok, I think it is like only Franks or something.

00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:07.230
And he like, he starts every video off and he's

00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:10.680
like. Hi, welcome to my O .F. Only Frank's that

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.879
is. And I think it is the cutest goddamn thing

00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.299
I've ever heard in my life. He's so cute. He's

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:18.879
so cute. He's so pure. Yeah. He runs around to

00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.799
all of these. I didn't know hot dogs were like

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:25.260
so prevalent in Indy. There are a lot of them

00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:28.359
now that you like go through his profile. Yeah.

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:31.680
I didn't realize it either. But he runs around.

00:01:31.700 --> 00:01:33.519
He tries hot dogs everywhere. He rates them.

00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.349
It is the. cutest and sweetest goddamn thing,

00:01:37.469 --> 00:01:40.730
and I think it's, like, a beacon of light and

00:01:40.730 --> 00:01:44.170
hope that we really need right now. No, yeah.

00:01:44.629 --> 00:01:47.090
Like, his videos genuinely spark joy for me.

00:01:47.090 --> 00:01:48.750
And it's more than hot dogs. It's so funny, because

00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:51.969
when I clicked on the link that you sent, I'd

00:01:51.969 --> 00:01:54.590
seen him before, but I've never seen him review

00:01:54.590 --> 00:01:57.010
a hot dog. I've seen him do, like, the Kilroy's

00:01:57.010 --> 00:01:59.349
breadsticks of the month. Like, they have the

00:01:59.349 --> 00:02:02.409
Arroz Camboyo breadstick bag. I feel like I do

00:02:02.409 --> 00:02:05.389
remember this. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. But

00:02:05.389 --> 00:02:07.650
never hot dogs. But I love that for him. And

00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:09.330
I hope he starts making money off of TikTok.

00:02:09.949 --> 00:02:12.289
I do, too. I told him we were going to shout

00:02:12.289 --> 00:02:13.650
him out this week because I followed him. And

00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:17.349
I was like, hey, is it okay if I... Only Franks.

00:02:17.349 --> 00:02:19.849
Yes. Only Franks. And he was like, yeah, let

00:02:19.849 --> 00:02:21.930
me know. And I'm like, I'm excited to watch.

00:02:22.030 --> 00:02:23.409
And I was like, goddammit, I love you so much.

00:02:23.870 --> 00:02:26.810
Of course he replied and was encouraging, like,

00:02:26.830 --> 00:02:30.699
naturally. Yes. So if you're in New Zealand or

00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:35.400
Belgium or something, please tap into Only Franks

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.080
anyway. Yes. Thank you. Please. Tell me about

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.879
your devil of a hot dog guy. Oh, yeah. The devil.

00:02:41.900 --> 00:02:44.699
I never thought I'd be saying this, but Joey

00:02:44.699 --> 00:02:49.159
Chestnut. Brother boy got arrested. He lives

00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:51.979
up here in Westfield and he got arrested for

00:02:51.979 --> 00:02:56.129
slapping someone in a bar. Because apparently

00:02:56.129 --> 00:02:58.990
they recognized him and he was just super drunk.

00:02:59.270 --> 00:03:03.050
And unfortunately, I feel like I can empathize.

00:03:03.270 --> 00:03:05.930
Who the fuck is this? I just Googled Joey Chestnut.

00:03:05.990 --> 00:03:07.669
I've never seen him a day in my life. Travis

00:03:07.669 --> 00:03:10.229
somehow has never heard of the Nathan's hot dog

00:03:10.229 --> 00:03:13.490
eating contest, which to me is insane because

00:03:13.490 --> 00:03:17.219
it's like the Super Bowl for. Even white or white

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:20.259
people. And you know, I don't I don't enjoy white

00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:23.620
culture. I can't watch the hot dog eating contest.

00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:26.620
Let's start there because I hate people chewing.

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.639
Yes. No, I'm so sorry. Like that sounds like

00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.360
my personal disgusting stuff. Like they dip it

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.659
in water to get it done. It's it's actually disgusting.

00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:41.219
And they eat like dozens of hot dogs. It's gross.

00:03:42.090 --> 00:03:44.770
Anyways, yeah, he slapped someone, which is crazy

00:03:44.770 --> 00:03:46.750
because it's like a local celebrity, which we

00:03:46.750 --> 00:03:49.669
don't have many of. Shout out Joey Chestnut,

00:03:49.710 --> 00:03:52.669
I guess. He is an icon, but I just thought that

00:03:52.669 --> 00:03:55.189
was so funny. That seems like a liberal use of

00:03:55.189 --> 00:04:00.150
the word, but I'm kidding. No, I mean, for this

00:04:00.150 --> 00:04:04.050
part of the country, that's an icon. But, okay,

00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:06.710
so, like, somebody went up to him in a bar, and

00:04:06.710 --> 00:04:09.569
they said, oh, my God, you're Joey Chestnut.

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.159
But he just slapped the shit out of him. Like,

00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:17.079
how did that interaction go? I so I just read

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.939
about it briefly. But from what I gathered, everyone's

00:04:21.939 --> 00:04:26.279
super wasted. That is the predetermining factor

00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.120
you need to understand. I guess the guy comes

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.300
up to him. He probably said something stupid.

00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:37.290
If I had to guess like. About him eating hot

00:04:37.290 --> 00:04:41.389
dogs. Oh, okay. And if you've seen Joey Chestnut,

00:04:41.550 --> 00:04:45.629
recently at least, ripped. He's like jacked now.

00:04:45.930 --> 00:04:50.290
He's like... Okay. God bless. God bless Joey

00:04:50.290 --> 00:04:53.509
Chestnut. I hope he's doing well in prison. When

00:04:53.509 --> 00:04:56.829
you look up Nathan's contest winners, the recommended

00:04:56.829 --> 00:04:59.649
search is why is Joey Chestnut on probation?

00:04:59.649 --> 00:05:05.560
Jesus Christ. I love that so much. It's no hate

00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:09.199
at all. I just thought it was silly. Next on

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.939
the list, we have James Charles, who... I somehow

00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:16.680
missed this whole thing. Are you serious? I will

00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:21.759
say, I do think his PR team tried to cover it

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.000
up very, very, very quickly. So, like, if you

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.920
didn't see it immediately... I haven't... heard

00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.240
anything about james charles since it came out

00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.040
that he was going after underage boys so let

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.160
me just tell you they're back on that one they

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.480
love bringing that up and like i mean to be fair

00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.639
that if that's something that happens that is

00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:40.180
something that should continue to be brought

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:43.420
up until he's off the internet until he's off

00:05:43.420 --> 00:05:47.379
of the face of the earth um yeah i mean i'm gonna

00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:49.699
be honest i've never really understood the appeal

00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:55.639
of james charles of like I sort of do only because

00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.600
I was very in the 2016 makeup tutorial space.

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.740
I was like very into that because I was a freshman

00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:05.519
in college. He was a makeup. I didn't realize

00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.519
he was a tutorial person. When the term was like

00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.379
makeup guru, he was like one of those. I thought

00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:14.000
he just had a makeup. So he was like a Jeffree

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.319
Star guy. Yes, exactly that. Yeah. Just like

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.040
a few years later and like younger. And then

00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.939
he came out with like the rainbow palette. and

00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:25.120
all of that stuff and so people followed him

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.699
and then he just started getting really annoying

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:30.560
and that's why I stopped like ever seeing anything

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.759
from him and then it all came out that he was

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:35.519
like going after underage boys and I was like

00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.819
okay I hope I never see your face again and I

00:06:37.819 --> 00:06:44.509
really haven't I I I saw like the messages and

00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:47.089
stuff. That's the thing. Like they showed the

00:06:47.089 --> 00:06:50.550
DMs and it sounded like him, to be honest. He

00:06:50.550 --> 00:06:53.290
admitted it. I thought so. He's publicly admitted

00:06:53.290 --> 00:06:55.910
it. He's like, apologize, quote unquote. And

00:06:55.910 --> 00:06:57.410
like, I'm not interested in your fucking apology.

00:06:57.509 --> 00:07:00.509
I'm so sorry, but. You have to apologize. Like

00:07:00.509 --> 00:07:03.709
you have to admit that there was wrongdoing there.

00:07:05.089 --> 00:07:06.990
But that doesn't mean I have to forgive you.

00:07:07.110 --> 00:07:09.509
In his most recent iteration of lighting his

00:07:09.509 --> 00:07:13.050
life on fire, he so Amber Vargas is a spirit

00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:15.529
or was a Spirit Airlines employee before they

00:07:15.529 --> 00:07:18.069
filed bankruptcy in the middle of the night and

00:07:18.069 --> 00:07:20.470
like literally shut down operations and canceled

00:07:20.470 --> 00:07:22.490
thousands of flights across the country. What?

00:07:23.009 --> 00:07:26.810
That is crazy. Like, I've never seen anything

00:07:26.810 --> 00:07:29.449
like that. Well, so the whole long and short

00:07:29.449 --> 00:07:34.449
of it is Jet Fuel became. prohibitively expensive

00:07:34.449 --> 00:07:36.470
because they were already like on the brink of

00:07:36.470 --> 00:07:40.509
filing bankruptcy anyway. And when Donald Trump

00:07:40.509 --> 00:07:42.149
went and did the whole song and dance with Iran.

00:07:43.420 --> 00:07:46.259
The Strait of Hormuz got shut down. Prices of

00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:49.920
jet fuel skyrocketed. And they simply did not

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.519
have enough operating capital to go on another

00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:55.879
day. Oh, my God. I mean, it was bad. So they

00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:58.399
were like, we're done right now. Yes. Everyone

00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.180
go home. I mean, you realize people showed up.

00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:02.480
So there was some talk about them maybe filing

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.899
bankruptcy. And then people showed up to the

00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:05.800
airport. And they were like, your flights are

00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.819
canceled. And there were no people there to talk

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:12.660
to about it. a night like i cannot imagine anything

00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:14.480
can you imagine like you're just taking your

00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.160
family on vacation or even more casual than that

00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:18.980
you're just like going somewhere for work or

00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:22.500
whatever can you imagine and then you just get

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:25.000
there and they're like oh well that airline doesn't

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.779
exist anymore like i know i'm such an elitist

00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:30.759
piece of shit when it comes to airlines like

00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.620
i only fly delta i'm so sorry that i'm like this

00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:37.480
person that everyone hates but like It's not

00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.700
about, like, it's not about anything other than,

00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.840
like, I just, I genuinely like Delta. I like

00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.080
a Delta SkyMile. I cannot imagine the hell of,

00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:47.820
like, showing up, not having anyone to talk to.

00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:50.039
Then you have to call some, like, phone number,

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.100
because I guess there was a phone number set

00:08:51.100 --> 00:08:52.600
up to deal with this. Can you fucking imagine?

00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:54.620
Like, let's just say the 10 ,000 people that

00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:56.000
were supposed to fly that day, they're all calling

00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.419
the same number at the same time. Yeah. Also,

00:08:58.419 --> 00:09:01.740
who do they have running that phone? I don't

00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:07.139
know. Demons? I don't know. Volunteer? They're

00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:10.860
broke asses. Oh my God. So that all went straight

00:09:10.860 --> 00:09:13.000
to hell. I feel genuinely bad for everyone involved

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.120
in this, but like I feel worse for the employees

00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.000
because they had something like 10 ,000 employees

00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.059
that they all laid off. Yeah. Missing a flight

00:09:20.059 --> 00:09:22.980
is inconvenient, but your job just disappearing

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:27.480
is devastating for some people, especially like,

00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.620
yes, but specifically for Amber Vargas, who was

00:09:30.620 --> 00:09:35.350
an operations agent, um, at, in, uh, Boston Logan

00:09:35.350 --> 00:09:39.850
Airport. For context, I want everyone to understand,

00:09:39.990 --> 00:09:43.389
I googled this, this role makes roughly $17 to

00:09:43.389 --> 00:09:46.789
$25 an hour, so it stands to reason that when

00:09:46.789 --> 00:09:53.450
her job stopped existing, she panicked. Of course.

00:09:53.549 --> 00:09:58.509
She starts a GoFundMe, and she sends, I can argue

00:09:58.509 --> 00:10:03.210
both sides of this thing of sending sending a

00:10:03.210 --> 00:10:05.730
GoFundMe to influencers to like celebrities to

00:10:05.730 --> 00:10:07.309
whoever and like just like throwing everything

00:10:07.309 --> 00:10:08.909
at the wall and seeing what you can get like

00:10:08.909 --> 00:10:12.190
I can I can make the argument of like yeah it's

00:10:12.190 --> 00:10:15.110
it's it's a little distasteful but like you're

00:10:15.110 --> 00:10:17.750
fucking desperate like I don't is it distasteful

00:10:17.750 --> 00:10:23.610
to post your hauls of designer handbags That's

00:10:23.610 --> 00:10:25.350
the other side of it I can argue where I'm just

00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:30.090
like, oh, you have a closet full of designer

00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:32.570
clothes. If you don't want people to know you

00:10:32.570 --> 00:10:35.769
have money, don't post about having money. Right.

00:10:35.850 --> 00:10:38.049
Like, that's what it boils down to for me. And

00:10:38.049 --> 00:10:41.490
for me, I'm just like, if there's any good that

00:10:41.490 --> 00:10:45.039
someone can do, I think. do it and if you don't

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.500
want to do good then just don't say don't say

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:48.320
anything you don't have to say anything james

00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.340
charles can't not say anything but like doesn't

00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:54.679
he have to be ignoring thousands of dms every

00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.480
day this is the other thing that i i that's the

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.460
first thing i thought to myself because i get

00:11:00.460 --> 00:11:02.919
so he opens up the dm and i'm going to clip in

00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:06.580
the audio from from james charles's original

00:11:06.580 --> 00:11:09.340
response to this because i i need people that

00:11:09.340 --> 00:11:13.200
like actually hear how just fucking demonic he

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.580
sounds I'm not so bad I just got a DM on here

00:11:15.580 --> 00:11:18.139
from a girl that said good morning James I know

00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:20.740
you'll probably never see this but if you could

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:22.379
just take one minute to read it would really

00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:24.899
mean a lot to me I'm really struggling right

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:27.720
now because Spirit Airlines just filed for bankruptcy

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:31.799
and I have lost my job here's a GoFundMe link

00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:37.919
any donations help I'm sure they do sweetheart

00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.940
I'm sure they do you know what else would help

00:11:39.940 --> 00:11:43.820
you Getting another job. Yeah, try that. Because

00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:45.539
in the time that it took you to copy and paste

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:48.259
the same fuck ass message to myself, who you

00:11:48.259 --> 00:11:50.320
don't follow, by the way, and probably a hundred

00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:52.100
other influencers and celebrities, you could

00:11:52.100 --> 00:11:53.720
have applied for a hundred other jobs, but you

00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:55.860
didn't because you're a lazy piece of shit and

00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:59.360
you're entitled. And you think that influencers

00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.519
and celebrities should fund your life for you.

00:12:01.659 --> 00:12:04.399
Why? Why would I ever help you? You're not a

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.220
fan. You don't even follow me. You've never supported

00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:08.240
me. This is your first time DMing. And you think

00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.700
that I'm going to... Send you money because you

00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:13.179
lost your job? Oh my god, welcome to the real

00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:15.759
world, sweetheart. People lose their jobs every

00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.100
fucking day and you're white, pretty, and able

00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:20.440
-bodied. You're in a much better position than

00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:21.980
a lot of other people out here who are trying

00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:24.779
clearly much harder to make a better life for

00:12:24.779 --> 00:12:27.259
themselves. Why would I fucking help you? Aside

00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:30.019
from that, 17 ,000 people lost their jobs at

00:12:30.019 --> 00:12:32.139
Spear Airlines. Why do you think you need to

00:12:32.139 --> 00:12:35.389
go fund me? I can at least, like, 1 % respect

00:12:35.389 --> 00:12:37.070
the mentality of closed mouth, don't get fed,

00:12:37.070 --> 00:12:38.750
doesn't hurt to try. But honestly, it does hurt

00:12:38.750 --> 00:12:40.710
to try because now you pissed me off, okay? I'm

00:12:40.710 --> 00:12:42.730
not the one. Go find fucking Mr. Reese. This

00:12:42.730 --> 00:12:45.029
is literally his entire shtick. He starts out

00:12:45.029 --> 00:12:48.049
with, like, I got this DM, and he says, I could

00:12:48.049 --> 00:12:49.970
have ignored it, I could have just said no, but

00:12:49.970 --> 00:12:52.929
it pissed me off. And, like, he starts on this

00:12:52.929 --> 00:12:56.480
whole thing about, like, um... You know what

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.679
you could have done in the time that you were,

00:12:57.740 --> 00:13:00.960
like, copying and pasting this message to influencers

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:03.299
like me who you don't even follow? And I was

00:13:03.299 --> 00:13:06.980
like, oh, fuck you. That's why he's mad. We just

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:09.720
got into it. That's why he's mad, because she

00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:14.179
doesn't follow him. But I want to go two things.

00:13:14.259 --> 00:13:16.279
One, he calls her a lazy piece of shit. And I

00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.539
was like, this girl's desperate. And you're blowing

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:23.350
her up. She would not survive two. hours at her

00:13:23.350 --> 00:13:27.309
job. 20 minutes. What are you talking about?

00:13:27.330 --> 00:13:30.490
Lazy pieces. You sit in front of a tripod that

00:13:30.490 --> 00:13:33.870
is set up for you and then do horrible, awful,

00:13:33.970 --> 00:13:37.090
no good makeup and get mugged by celebrities

00:13:37.090 --> 00:13:39.990
who you are supposed to be teaching constantly.

00:13:40.210 --> 00:13:44.350
Right. What are you talking about? Right. Right.

00:13:44.909 --> 00:13:48.940
But then. The other the other thing that I keep

00:13:48.940 --> 00:13:52.419
coming back to is you and I have a public facing

00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:57.440
TikTok, Instagram threads, whatever for the podcast.

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:03.019
When you have a public facing profile, there

00:14:03.019 --> 00:14:07.059
are like three categories of messages. Yeah.

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.600
Like people that you are connected with, people

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.379
that like the algorithm thinks you might know

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:14.259
and things that are like you have no connection

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:18.100
to this person. They don't follow you. and it

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:20.080
just goes into a folder that like you don't ever

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.440
see. Yeah. James Charles had to go in and like,

00:14:24.460 --> 00:14:26.899
he was looking for something like this. Like,

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.580
and that's, I imagine like he's probably one

00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:31.320
of these people that's obsessed with like himself.

00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:33.240
He's an narcissist, whatever. He's up at two

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:34.419
or three o 'clock in the morning. And that's

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:35.960
like, that's what he's doing is scrolling through

00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.480
his messages and see like, what are people saying

00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:42.320
to me? That's, that's the answer. He wants, he

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.960
knows that there are people in there gassing

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.600
him up and he wants to read it. Yes. And do you

00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:51.460
know what? Fine. Sure. Who cares? But for you

00:14:51.460 --> 00:14:54.899
to go after this woman who was just trying to

00:14:54.899 --> 00:14:57.980
protect her livelihood. Like, God bless, whatever.

00:14:58.059 --> 00:15:00.559
I don't care. Like, that's neither here nor there.

00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:04.179
Like, if I'm having a day, like, I don't want

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:06.379
to read our reviews on Apple Podcasts. Like,

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:09.139
that's where we're at. But. This girl, and also

00:15:09.139 --> 00:15:12.200
for context, I went and found the original GoFundMe.

00:15:12.340 --> 00:15:14.840
The dollar amount has since gone up because I

00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.559
think this has gone so public. So she's like,

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:19.100
I'm going to help other people. But the original

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:23.440
amount that was on the GoFundMe, $1 ,100. Probably

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.279
just trying to make rent. She was trying to cover

00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:26.659
her fucking rent for the month. Like, that's

00:15:26.659 --> 00:15:28.179
what it was. Or, like, buy a girl. Like, I don't

00:15:28.179 --> 00:15:29.600
care what she was doing with it. Like, I mean,

00:15:29.620 --> 00:15:32.799
in Boston, $1 ,100 for rent feels super low.

00:15:32.940 --> 00:15:35.279
So, like, I'm just like. Maybe she was just trying

00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.659
to have electricity. Maybe. I don't care what

00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:39.600
it was. It doesn't even matter. I don't care

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.220
if she was just like, damn, I lost my job. I

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:47.440
need to go. to Miami for a weekend, bitch. Yeah,

00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.740
you should. You're not going on Spirit. She wasn't

00:15:50.740 --> 00:15:52.759
forcing anyone to pay her either, by the way.

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:55.779
Flikes are probably $1 ,100 on Delta right now,

00:15:55.779 --> 00:15:58.559
for God's sakes, also. I bet they would give

00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.220
a Spirit airline firee a little discount if they

00:16:03.220 --> 00:16:07.100
sobbed enough. I would hope so. Yikes. But it's

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:09.759
so horrific. And then, so he goes on, he makes

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:11.200
this whole thing about she's a lazy piece of

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:16.110
shit. The internet. Drags him to hell. And thank

00:16:16.110 --> 00:16:19.549
God. And so the other thing to understand is

00:16:19.549 --> 00:16:25.269
like in content creation, your your capital is

00:16:25.269 --> 00:16:28.750
how many followers you have. James Charles had

00:16:28.750 --> 00:16:33.769
44 million followers. He lost five million followers

00:16:33.769 --> 00:16:36.629
over the course of a weekend. And good. God,

00:16:36.769 --> 00:16:38.889
it feels good. Set a record for becoming the

00:16:38.889 --> 00:16:40.850
most unfollowed person on TikTok in history.

00:16:41.330 --> 00:16:45.639
Wow. Proud of him for that. Um, and then he comes

00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.220
on and does the whole song and dance of trying

00:16:48.220 --> 00:16:50.120
to make an apology where he's out. He's on his

00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:53.080
porch. He's crying. He's doing the thing and

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:56.139
he's making it about him, which like, he's like,

00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:58.720
this is the first place where I feel like I can

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.059
truly be myself. And I'm like, first of all,

00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:02.639
shut the fuck up. No, it's not. You've never

00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:04.480
been anyone by yourself and you really show who

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:05.819
the fuck you are. I don't want to hear that.

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:08.400
When has anyone ever held you back, girl? Right.

00:17:09.069 --> 00:17:11.049
And I want you to be whoever you are. I want

00:17:11.049 --> 00:17:13.930
you to run around. You can't treat people like

00:17:13.930 --> 00:17:15.970
shit, though, and, like, make it about being

00:17:15.970 --> 00:17:19.009
yourself. Yeah, and you don't get to fake oppression

00:17:19.009 --> 00:17:22.250
and be like, whoa. Oh, Christ. Right, like, I've

00:17:22.250 --> 00:17:25.130
been oppressed. Girl, we've seen pictures of

00:17:25.130 --> 00:17:27.849
you when you were 12, living your best life.

00:17:27.950 --> 00:17:29.809
Like, what are you actually talking about? And,

00:17:29.869 --> 00:17:31.730
like, if that is your real struggle, I don't

00:17:31.730 --> 00:17:33.769
want to take that away from you. No. But there's

00:17:33.769 --> 00:17:41.619
no way that's your argument. It reminds me of

00:17:41.619 --> 00:17:44.740
like a bad boyfriend who's who's who's talking

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:50.559
about like, oh, I can't just I can't just say

00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.960
what's on my mind. Yes. Oh, my God. I can't just

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.359
say what I can't have my feelings. This isn't

00:17:55.359 --> 00:18:00.039
a safe space for me. God damn it. It annoys the

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:04.940
fuck out of me. But then Amber Vargas, the original

00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:09.480
poster of the GoFundMe. responded with a post

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.039
to his apology. She said, I heard the apology.

00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:16.539
I just don't accept it. Period. And all I have

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:18.539
to say is, good for fucking her. She could have

00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:20.839
been the bigger person. She could have not. I

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:23.799
want you to take him straight the fuck to hell.

00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.319
Exactly. And Augie agrees. And also, the other

00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.059
thing too, because I brought him up a minute

00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:32.539
ago, I hate agreeing with Jeffree Star about

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:36.460
anything. But Jeffree Star came out and he was

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:40.109
like, I'll clip it in here too, but he said something

00:18:40.109 --> 00:18:42.690
to the effect of, well, you know, he probably

00:18:42.690 --> 00:18:45.069
would have helped this girl if she was a 16 -year

00:18:45.069 --> 00:18:49.210
-old boy messaging him. And I said... If that

00:18:49.210 --> 00:18:51.789
Spirit Airlines employee was 16 and innocent,

00:18:52.049 --> 00:18:54.329
James would have sent that cash out. Next subject.

00:18:54.690 --> 00:18:56.369
You know what? Broken clocks are right twice

00:18:56.369 --> 00:18:59.769
a day, I guess. Yeah. It's like, so would you,

00:18:59.910 --> 00:19:06.380
Jeffrey, but okay. Fair. Fair. But... Also, speaking

00:19:06.380 --> 00:19:11.279
of underage people, that was a bad segue. Have

00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.200
you seen the thing about Dr. Oz, who's apparently

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.319
in charge of the CDC now, I guess? I don't know.

00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.720
Dr. Oz says that one third of Americans are underbabied.

00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:26.640
I did see that. Tell me your thoughts. What the

00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.519
fuck does that mean? Secondly, did Dr. Oz ever

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.079
get his M .D.? Because last I checked, he was

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:35.740
a Ph .D. No, no, no, that's Dr. Phil. No, no.

00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:40.440
When Dr. Oz had a show, wasn't he a PhD, not

00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:44.099
an MD? And it was a whole thing. No, no, that

00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:48.339
was Dr. Phil. No, Dr. Oz. Dr. Phil's like a psychologist.

00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.099
Of course, he's not an MD, but. But no, Dr. Oz,

00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:53.920
like because Heather Dubrow is very, very or

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.160
was very good friends. I don't know if they're

00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.359
still super close, but because he. Is he like

00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:58.619
a real life? Worked a lot with Terry Dubrow.

00:19:58.700 --> 00:20:02.660
I think he's a real doctor. Oh. Hang on. A real

00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:05.869
MD. Yeah, Dr. Maldonado is a real licensed and

00:20:05.869 --> 00:20:11.089
credentialed physician. He trained as a cardiothoracic

00:20:11.089 --> 00:20:14.789
surgeon. He's a heart surgeon. He's a heart surgeon.

00:20:14.990 --> 00:20:16.349
A cardiothoracic. I don't know what the fuck

00:20:16.349 --> 00:20:18.130
that means. Maybe that's what it is. I don't

00:20:18.130 --> 00:20:20.289
remember. I was a child. Maybe it's that he was

00:20:20.289 --> 00:20:24.410
a heart surgeon and he just kept going on TV

00:20:24.410 --> 00:20:27.529
and calling everyone fat. I think you're right

00:20:27.529 --> 00:20:29.829
about this. This is the. Yes, yes, yes. Because

00:20:29.829 --> 00:20:33.029
he was in the realm of Dr. Atkins because they

00:20:33.029 --> 00:20:35.430
they did something together. You're I think I

00:20:35.430 --> 00:20:37.789
remember what you're talking about. But it was

00:20:37.789 --> 00:20:40.630
like 20 years ago. So he's also one of these

00:20:40.630 --> 00:20:43.049
people who and I this is where I struggle. We're

00:20:43.049 --> 00:20:45.130
like, I do think there is space for holistic

00:20:45.130 --> 00:20:48.589
natural medicine. I also think if the solution

00:20:48.589 --> 00:20:51.750
is a pill, a vaccine, whatever the case may be,

00:20:51.910 --> 00:20:54.630
that is the solution. And that is science of

00:20:54.630 --> 00:20:57.690
science to back it. I don't want like there is

00:20:57.690 --> 00:21:00.869
no all black or all white situation. There is

00:21:00.869 --> 00:21:03.349
room for gray area here. He is obsessed with

00:21:03.349 --> 00:21:08.390
like promoting natural medicine and like holistic.

00:21:08.589 --> 00:21:13.910
The people are all over that. And that's why

00:21:13.910 --> 00:21:17.309
he's in charge of whatever department in the

00:21:17.309 --> 00:21:19.869
government he's part of now. I don't care about

00:21:19.869 --> 00:21:23.940
that. But he gets on. I think it was a press

00:21:23.940 --> 00:21:26.400
conference where Donald Trump is literally falling

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.700
asleep in his chair. I saw that, too. Never seen

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:31.339
anything like it. I'm like, you're talking about

00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:33.019
sleepy fucking Joe. Like, let's start there.

00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.420
Not even really trying to hide it. No. Just fully

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:38.380
grandpa's resting his eyes. I got to rest my

00:21:38.380 --> 00:21:40.740
eyes. I heard everything you said. My papaw does

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:44.859
the same thing, by the way. But he, Dr. Oz says

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:48.740
one third of Americans are under baby. And he

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:51.880
also predicted that. there is going to be an

00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.799
upcoming wave of Trump babies. Jesus Christ.

00:21:56.859 --> 00:21:59.440
Okay, so a couple things here. Void up your windows.

00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:04.019
I want your thoughts about this. Let's get the

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:11.799
baseline there. Let's start there. I think you're

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.519
treating a symptom of the issue. People aren't

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.940
having babies because people can't afford it.

00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.819
That's that's one reason people are also having

00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:26.180
babies because we live in a society where if

00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:30.019
you do not have a two income household, it's

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:34.200
almost impossible to get by. And then that leaves

00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.259
the problem of where do the children go? That's

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:42.819
another part. And I think getting on TV and saying

00:22:42.819 --> 00:22:45.160
we're under baby, there's about to be a wave

00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.640
of Trump babies is really. A creative way to

00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.980
sweep that under the rug for the 50 ,000th time.

00:22:53.460 --> 00:22:57.880
It's that. And then it's also the third data

00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.299
point that I kept coming up when I was reading

00:23:00.299 --> 00:23:02.720
about this is as women become more educated,

00:23:02.980 --> 00:23:06.359
there is less emphasis on you have to you have

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.039
to be a mother. That has to be your entire thing.

00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:10.799
And I have been very honest about my thoughts

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.400
about. I, if you want to be a mom, I want you

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:14.779
to be a mom and I want you to, I want you to

00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:16.059
do whatever you want. If you want to, like, I

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:17.619
want everyone to be exactly who they want to

00:23:17.619 --> 00:23:21.579
be. I don't like this idea that you have to be

00:23:21.579 --> 00:23:23.599
a mother and your only value is in being a mother.

00:23:23.660 --> 00:23:27.140
And like. Zero percent. Yeah. I say this like,

00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:29.380
and I know my cousin Megan listens and like,

00:23:29.420 --> 00:23:31.400
she is such, she's a stay at home mom. She's

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:34.500
got. So am I. Yeah. Right. You are too. And she's

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:36.579
got six or seven kids. And I don't remember.

00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:40.230
I'm sorry, Megan. Don't hate me. But. She loves.

00:23:40.230 --> 00:23:44.170
Jack just did the six, seven thing. Anyway. She

00:23:44.170 --> 00:23:47.049
loves being a mother and she's a good mom and

00:23:47.049 --> 00:23:49.630
that's what she wants to be. And that's beautiful

00:23:49.630 --> 00:23:51.710
and that's a good purpose to have in life. Exactly.

00:23:51.710 --> 00:23:54.430
Her sister Autumn doesn't have kids and I don't

00:23:54.430 --> 00:23:57.369
hear Megan pushing like, oh, you need to be a

00:23:57.369 --> 00:23:58.849
mom, you need to have kids. She doesn't do that

00:23:58.849 --> 00:24:01.750
to Autumn. So. No one should do that to anyone.

00:24:01.750 --> 00:24:03.210
There's no issue with anyone being a mother,

00:24:03.289 --> 00:24:05.990
obviously. And, like, there's also the idea that,

00:24:06.029 --> 00:24:08.789
like, studies have, like, I mean, and this is

00:24:08.789 --> 00:24:12.109
a math problem. This isn't, like, a phenomenal

00:24:12.109 --> 00:24:17.730
thing. To get a society to continue, like, existing,

00:24:17.970 --> 00:24:23.589
you have, it's 2 .3 something is the number of

00:24:23.589 --> 00:24:25.470
kids that have to be born every generation to

00:24:25.470 --> 00:24:29.369
keep a society in existence. Yeah. So, that's

00:24:29.369 --> 00:24:34.240
fine. But I want to come back to this, this thing

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:38.420
about like how prohibitively expensive it is

00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:41.079
to have kids in some cases and how there's no

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.380
support for like, I mean, they're cutting snap

00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:50.660
benefits. They're cutting like every. for low

00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:52.579
-income people. So it's like, we're going to

00:24:52.579 --> 00:24:55.140
push the whole pro -life narrative. We're going

00:24:55.140 --> 00:24:57.160
to force you to carry the child to term, and

00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:00.599
then it's your fucking problem. Yeah. And I'm

00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.740
just like, you can't have it both ways. I'm so

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:06.259
sorry. I pulled data from the U .S. Census Bureau,

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:11.799
and in 2024, there were 84 ,000, or 84 ,969 ,539

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:14.910
households that met the definition of... a family

00:25:14.910 --> 00:25:17.650
household so either a married couple a single

00:25:17.650 --> 00:25:20.650
mother or a single father like with their with

00:25:20.650 --> 00:25:23.869
everyone living there of those households 33

00:25:23.869 --> 00:25:29.869
million 674 652 of those were they included at

00:25:29.869 --> 00:25:32.009
least one child under the age of 18. so that's

00:25:32.009 --> 00:25:35.710
like roughly 39 of those households so the long

00:25:35.710 --> 00:25:38.089
and short of it is it the the the math breaks

00:25:38.089 --> 00:25:41.970
down to roughly 2 .17 children per household

00:25:41.970 --> 00:25:46.789
in the united states And then I went a little

00:25:46.789 --> 00:25:49.210
bit further. Twelve point nine percent of those

00:25:49.210 --> 00:25:52.509
families are with the children under the age

00:25:52.509 --> 00:25:55.329
of 18 are living below the federal poverty line,

00:25:55.490 --> 00:25:59.950
which is an insanely like the poverty line. I

00:25:59.950 --> 00:26:02.390
don't know what the number is now, but like the

00:26:02.390 --> 00:26:04.890
it's like, well, it's like twelve thousand dollars

00:26:04.890 --> 00:26:06.829
or something like it's insane. Yeah. A year.

00:26:06.890 --> 00:26:12.440
Yes. And then. That's up from 11 .3 % in 2014

00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.460
of those households. So like, I wonder if there's

00:26:15.460 --> 00:26:20.480
potentially maybe a connection between being

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:24.200
poor and not wanting to have more children. But

00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:26.400
yeah, that's the long and short of it is I wonder

00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:32.460
if there's a connection between being poor or

00:26:32.460 --> 00:26:35.589
not. I mean, honestly, not having. two income

00:26:35.589 --> 00:26:38.450
household and not wanting to have 94 kids. Like,

00:26:38.470 --> 00:26:44.660
I wonder. And even if you are like. moderately

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:48.000
wealthy, or even super wealthy, to be honest,

00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:50.980
and you just decide not to have kids because

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:54.339
they are expensive, I think that's fine. I don't

00:26:54.339 --> 00:26:57.839
think it's a selfish thing for you to say, no,

00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:59.960
I want to spend my money on me and living my

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:02.720
life. I think that that is totally okay, girl.

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:05.759
A concept. There are enough people out there

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:10.079
with 8, 9, 10 kids to counteract everyone that

00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.460
chooses to have zero. You know what I mean? Like

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:16.299
the population of humanity is not in danger.

00:27:17.579 --> 00:27:20.059
And even if it is, we'll be dead before it's

00:27:20.059 --> 00:27:22.279
gone. So I don't care. I like, I know that's

00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:24.960
such like a weird take to have, but like this

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:28.240
whole notion that you specifically are responsible

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:31.920
for keeping a population going is asinine. And

00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:35.579
I thought there were places like Eastern Asia

00:27:35.579 --> 00:27:38.940
that were way overpopulated. When did we stop

00:27:38.940 --> 00:27:42.119
caring about that? Because I feel like we heard

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:46.660
about that so much, like, I don't know, seven,

00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:49.339
eight years ago. That was a talking point where

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:53.900
I think they've moved away from it because I'm

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:55.880
probably for this very reason, because people

00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.000
in the United States, people in Western Europe

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.299
are I'm sorry. Yeah. Western Europe are having

00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:06.390
less and less kids. Yeah. And. So they didn't

00:28:06.390 --> 00:28:08.309
want to talk as much about how the world's already

00:28:08.309 --> 00:28:10.950
overpopulated? I don't know. Or maybe how they're

00:28:10.950 --> 00:28:14.009
ahead of us. I don't know. It's asinine, though.

00:28:14.069 --> 00:28:16.730
That's the long and short of it. Yeah. Well,

00:28:16.829 --> 00:28:19.970
Dr. Oz being in the White House is asinine, to

00:28:19.970 --> 00:28:23.269
be honest. The entire administration. It's a

00:28:23.269 --> 00:28:27.710
circus. Everything that comes out of it is just...

00:28:34.779 --> 00:28:37.039
So, you know how sometimes we're an AI podcast.

00:28:38.019 --> 00:28:42.519
My TikTok is an AI for you page. God, my Twitter

00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:45.799
is literally AI bots talking to each other. Yes,

00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.279
yes. And I can see it. I can tell that it's two

00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:54.339
AI chatbots talking to each other. The new trend

00:28:54.339 --> 00:28:57.319
that I keep seeing, though, is people saying

00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:00.660
they're hiring. AI chiefs of staff. And I'm like,

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.319
oh, my God, you're using Claude Code. Please

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:06.779
stop. You're unwell. Like, you are unwell. Okay.

00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.559
I can actually see both sides of the argument.

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:13.940
You know where I stand on AI. I do. I think it's

00:29:13.940 --> 00:29:18.160
demented. Do I think it's incredible that we

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.940
are living through an era where we have... created

00:29:22.940 --> 00:29:26.440
such a thing that can design like a like an electronic

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:31.980
personal assistant that you coach into doing

00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:35.859
for you what you needed to do like that's not

00:29:35.859 --> 00:29:38.579
lost on me that that's an amazing feat however

00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:44.480
Brittany you don't need it to organize your Pilates

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.119
work to respond to your emails to do all of it

00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.730
for you like I know remember the beginning of

00:29:51.730 --> 00:29:55.569
this podcast a little over a year ago now when

00:29:55.569 --> 00:29:59.210
i said we're all just gonna lose the ability

00:29:59.210 --> 00:30:02.859
to think yes that is where i'm at with it now

00:30:02.859 --> 00:30:06.619
we're also talking about memory issues because

00:30:06.619 --> 00:30:10.880
you're expecting ai to remember everything you've

00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:13.000
ever told it and if it doesn't you will just

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:17.039
not remember it and like no so here's the thing

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.500
about like these ai tools so the other thing

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:23.779
that like keeps popping up on my tiktok is it's

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:26.279
it's vibe coding is what it is it's like you

00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:29.380
you give you give the prompt an idea and it spits

00:30:29.380 --> 00:30:32.819
out the front end ui of an app yeah i think like

00:30:32.819 --> 00:30:37.210
okay if you I can argue both sides of that. I

00:30:37.210 --> 00:30:39.349
think, number one, it's a security disaster.

00:30:39.769 --> 00:30:42.670
That's problem number one. Number two, if you're

00:30:42.670 --> 00:30:45.569
putting it out there and you're... There's a

00:30:45.569 --> 00:30:47.710
guy on TikTok that was like, my friends send

00:30:47.710 --> 00:30:49.930
me these apps and they're all pieces of shit.

00:30:50.089 --> 00:30:52.710
I don't want to fucking look at your... You probably

00:30:52.710 --> 00:30:55.089
have loads of friends who have sent you a text,

00:30:55.250 --> 00:30:57.210
yo, check this thing out I just built in Claude.

00:30:57.230 --> 00:30:59.130
It's so sick. And then you have to click this

00:30:59.130 --> 00:31:01.009
fucking link and it is the worst piece of shit

00:31:01.009 --> 00:31:05.250
you've ever seen. It sucks more than an art project

00:31:05.250 --> 00:31:07.230
you made in fourth grade. And you have to...

00:31:07.230 --> 00:31:10.569
Oh, so cool, man. Every time. Yo, yo, yo, yo,

00:31:10.569 --> 00:31:12.809
yo. Check this out. Check this out. I put all

00:31:12.809 --> 00:31:15.390
my Spotify playlists are available on this website.

00:31:15.509 --> 00:31:18.170
And you could search it by artist. But I don't

00:31:18.170 --> 00:31:20.390
want to. And it looks like garbage. Yeah, but

00:31:20.390 --> 00:31:23.210
I made it. What are you, my son? I don't give

00:31:23.210 --> 00:31:26.569
a... You made it? Terrible. Whatever. You still

00:31:26.569 --> 00:31:28.970
have to put work in. I'm actually very close

00:31:28.970 --> 00:31:31.589
to this world. Yes, you are. Because Kenny doesn't...

00:31:32.140 --> 00:31:34.599
Kenny didn't go to school for coding, but he

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.940
wanted to create a website. He started vibe coding.

00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:42.059
But when I tell you it's not, he sat down, wrote

00:31:42.059 --> 00:31:46.059
a few prompts and left it. It's like four hours

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:49.799
a day for like three months straight. Still,

00:31:49.940 --> 00:31:53.609
even though he's not the one coding. you still

00:31:53.609 --> 00:31:56.289
have to like and now you have to babysit it basically

00:31:56.289 --> 00:31:59.970
yeah and now the website is actually cool but

00:31:59.970 --> 00:32:02.410
here's the thing i'm looking at it and i'm not

00:32:02.410 --> 00:32:05.230
like i you know i love kenny yeah this looks

00:32:05.230 --> 00:32:09.630
like every ai coded website they all look exactly

00:32:09.630 --> 00:32:11.549
the same to me and here's the thing i won't take

00:32:11.549 --> 00:32:14.009
away from like coding is not easy like you i

00:32:14.009 --> 00:32:16.950
i sent you the screenshot of like what the python

00:32:16.950 --> 00:32:19.250
script i ran to like do something for the podcast

00:32:19.250 --> 00:32:23.299
and I attempted to teach myself how to do it.

00:32:23.299 --> 00:32:24.839
And there was one thing that kept going wrong.

00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:26.640
So I took it into Claude and I said, can you

00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:28.759
help me like figure, can you debug this for me?

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:31.380
And it was like, oh yeah, you like didn't indent

00:32:31.380 --> 00:32:33.819
something the right way. And like, it comes down

00:32:33.819 --> 00:32:35.660
to some of those kinds of things. I think Claude

00:32:35.660 --> 00:32:38.180
is an incredible use case for something like

00:32:38.180 --> 00:32:43.140
that. I would rather die than like tell Claude,

00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:44.700
chat, GPT, Jim, and I don't care what it is,

00:32:44.740 --> 00:32:47.910
what you want to do. And just let it spit it

00:32:47.910 --> 00:32:49.410
out for you because like then it's like that

00:32:49.410 --> 00:32:52.349
takes away from the journey of getting there.

00:32:52.369 --> 00:32:55.549
Like, do you feel ownership of that? Are you

00:32:55.549 --> 00:32:59.130
proud of that? Like, I feel like you would feel

00:32:59.130 --> 00:33:04.089
what's the word? It's like, so you cheated. No,

00:33:04.190 --> 00:33:06.769
like when you actually complete something and

00:33:06.769 --> 00:33:09.910
you feel, yeah, we're going to miss out on that

00:33:09.910 --> 00:33:12.410
completely. Because if you work towards something

00:33:12.410 --> 00:33:16.549
that like pay off. of, like you said, self -actualization

00:33:16.549 --> 00:33:20.730
at the end just like doesn't exist if you're

00:33:20.730 --> 00:33:22.789
believing in a robot to spit it out for you.

00:33:22.910 --> 00:33:25.930
Right. The other thing, too, is like people have

00:33:25.930 --> 00:33:28.450
become so it's like it's a self -awareness thing

00:33:28.450 --> 00:33:32.549
that we've gotten to where like we we know. that

00:33:32.549 --> 00:33:34.930
everyone's writing emails with like AI, whatever.

00:33:35.089 --> 00:33:37.890
There's a new browser plugin that adds typos

00:33:37.890 --> 00:33:40.329
into your AI generated emails to make them look

00:33:40.329 --> 00:33:43.710
real. And I'm like, we've lost the plot entirely.

00:33:44.089 --> 00:33:48.710
It's so over. That is so, that actually just

00:33:48.710 --> 00:33:53.390
like hurt my brain to hear. And like, and I,

00:33:53.390 --> 00:33:56.730
it's come to a point where like, it's not just

00:33:56.730 --> 00:33:58.690
something that's out there that's like available

00:33:58.690 --> 00:34:01.029
for adoption. It's something that like we're,

00:34:01.710 --> 00:34:04.750
on a societal level like titans of industry are

00:34:04.750 --> 00:34:07.890
like pushing it on people like and Sam Altman

00:34:07.890 --> 00:34:10.130
like I'll give him this like he's not one of

00:34:10.130 --> 00:34:12.889
these people that says you must must must use

00:34:12.889 --> 00:34:15.949
AI in every facet of everyday life I think he's

00:34:15.949 --> 00:34:19.329
been pretty good about that the um anthropic

00:34:19.329 --> 00:34:22.889
the the people that own Claude they put out like

00:34:22.889 --> 00:34:24.730
I think it's a public service thing where they're

00:34:24.730 --> 00:34:26.590
like trying to offset some of the negative that's

00:34:26.590 --> 00:34:29.510
come out of it where they'll say like hey If

00:34:29.510 --> 00:34:31.670
you ever actually have a question about something

00:34:31.670 --> 00:34:34.210
that you, like, aren't 100 % sure Claude's giving

00:34:34.210 --> 00:34:36.429
you the right answer, we want you to go talk

00:34:36.429 --> 00:34:38.969
to a person you trust. Like, it's not making

00:34:38.969 --> 00:34:43.090
the... I feel like, honestly, the people behind

00:34:43.090 --> 00:34:47.050
the AI companies have had a much cooler head

00:34:47.050 --> 00:34:50.690
and a more realistic expectation than the people

00:34:50.690 --> 00:34:53.230
who are actually using it. Because, like, to

00:34:53.230 --> 00:34:56.440
someone, like... Like, I think about my uncle

00:34:56.440 --> 00:35:00.480
Roy a lot that died when I was like 16. He loved

00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.280
technology like the quad chat. That would have

00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:07.179
been like magic in his mind where like it would

00:35:07.179 --> 00:35:11.000
have been his new best friend. And but back to

00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:14.219
this notion of like pushing it on people. So,

00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.400
oh, yeah, I don't like how that's all of a sudden

00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:19.400
become a thing. You like the fact that you have

00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:26.119
to turn. google ai off but not on that and and

00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:29.460
just like the subtle hints i'm just constantly

00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:32.539
being run through ai and i'm like well you know

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:35.280
instagram like the search bar's meta ai now like

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.400
which that's either here or there like i can

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:41.579
take or leave that but you've got people speaking

00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:44.800
at commencement speeches of graduations at college

00:35:45.420 --> 00:35:48.420
where you have people who ostensibly, like, I

00:35:48.420 --> 00:35:52.519
have to assume the vast majority of people put

00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:54.300
in the work when it comes to a four -year degree.

00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:57.960
I'm sure that, like, we're, what, 2026? So, realistically,

00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:00.880
for people that graduated their undergrad this

00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:04.340
year, some iteration of AI was available to them

00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:08.579
the entire time. I'm sure that some portion of

00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:11.619
the people in that... in that graduating class

00:36:11.619 --> 00:36:14.340
used ai to get through every bit of it but i

00:36:14.340 --> 00:36:16.360
have to assume that the vast majority of people

00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:19.699
put in the work and and there are some people

00:36:19.699 --> 00:36:22.219
like i mean for you like you for the most part

00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:24.840
who are just staunchly against it and i think

00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.380
that's a very very valid point you've people

00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:29.280
getting out there saying ai is the wave of the

00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.760
future like whatever and these people and i'm

00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.320
so glad it's happening they're literally getting

00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:37.460
booed off the fucking stage and i i'm just like

00:36:38.650 --> 00:36:41.550
You were these people put in work for four years

00:36:41.550 --> 00:36:43.090
and you're like, well, I was going to take your

00:36:43.090 --> 00:36:45.750
entry level fucking job. Fuck you. Like, why

00:36:45.750 --> 00:36:49.960
are you here? I just. It's one thing for you

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:54.099
to sit at home and play with your AI and do your

00:36:54.099 --> 00:36:56.760
silly little thing and whatever. It's another

00:36:56.760 --> 00:37:00.500
thing for you to step outside of that home and

00:37:00.500 --> 00:37:04.500
then go tell people who believe in the power

00:37:04.500 --> 00:37:08.940
of human knowledge and learning that AI is the

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:11.599
wave of the future. Like, you're sick. Yes. You're

00:37:11.599 --> 00:37:14.179
sick. And if you want to use it for your business,

00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:17.280
that's amazing. You cannot be a person who is

00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:20.570
respected. who is someone who people listen to

00:37:20.570 --> 00:37:24.409
and force that on people. That is not okay. I'll

00:37:24.409 --> 00:37:27.789
die on that hill. But on the other side of this,

00:37:27.809 --> 00:37:31.489
Steve Wozniak, one of the Steves that founded

00:37:31.489 --> 00:37:36.250
Apple, spoke at a college graduation. Where was

00:37:36.250 --> 00:37:39.849
it? I don't remember. But his speech gave me

00:37:39.849 --> 00:37:41.869
a little bit of hope. I'll clip his little part

00:37:41.869 --> 00:37:46.449
of that speech in here. You all have AI. You

00:37:46.449 --> 00:37:55.550
all have AI. actual intelligence. My entire life

00:37:55.550 --> 00:37:58.130
in the technical world, I've been following people

00:37:58.130 --> 00:37:59.730
that were trying to figure out how to make a

00:37:59.730 --> 00:38:02.909
brain, software, hardware, synapse chips. And

00:38:02.909 --> 00:38:05.030
I was at a company where the engineers figured

00:38:05.030 --> 00:38:10.730
out how to make a brain. Takes nine months. Is

00:38:10.730 --> 00:38:12.789
that actually like, I think that that was something

00:38:12.789 --> 00:38:16.550
that like we have lost. in a way that's like,

00:38:16.610 --> 00:38:18.349
oh, we can give it to Claude, we can give it

00:38:18.349 --> 00:38:20.510
to Gemini, we can do whatever. And, like, technology

00:38:20.510 --> 00:38:25.090
is so incredible, but I'm like, you have to still

00:38:25.090 --> 00:38:32.250
value the human side of it. I looked at him crazy

00:38:32.250 --> 00:38:34.570
because he wiggled all the way down in his seat

00:38:34.570 --> 00:38:38.809
and he laughed at me. But, yeah, like, that's...

00:38:38.809 --> 00:38:43.869
It's... We're losing the plot so... And like

00:38:43.869 --> 00:38:46.289
the voices like Steve Wozniak are becoming fewer

00:38:46.289 --> 00:38:49.150
and fewer. I don't know. I don't know. And I

00:38:49.150 --> 00:38:52.929
just, I knew. I knew. You were right. The minute

00:38:52.929 --> 00:38:57.030
ChatGPT became readily available for anyone who

00:38:57.030 --> 00:38:59.909
wanted it for free. I was like, this is bad news

00:38:59.909 --> 00:39:05.269
bears. People will take convenience every time.

00:39:05.349 --> 00:39:06.929
It's like, it's probably like an evolutionary

00:39:06.929 --> 00:39:10.969
thing. On some level it probably is. Because

00:39:10.969 --> 00:39:14.760
is it easier? to go to chat gpt and be like tell

00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.880
me what to make for dinner send this email for

00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.179
me do this do that do that do this yeah probably

00:39:20.179 --> 00:39:24.440
is it though like then just like because it takes

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:26.440
away the decision making piece of it okay maybe

00:39:26.440 --> 00:39:29.800
maybe yeah you can keep your brain in autopilot

00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:32.539
all day never have to think about anything ever

00:39:32.539 --> 00:39:36.360
you're gonna get dementia exactly my point I've

00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.900
been saying this forever. You hold on to zero

00:39:38.900 --> 00:39:42.099
thoughts. You're not exercising your brain. I

00:39:42.099 --> 00:39:45.579
bet we see a serious uptick and I'm, I'm like

00:39:45.579 --> 00:39:48.199
not even joking at all. I'm not a doctor. Obviously

00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:51.659
I'm not studying this enough. Like a serious,

00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:58.039
like the, the, what was it between 1972 and 1998?

00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:01.239
Like it wasn't a super long time. The attention

00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:04.179
span dropped from like, it's cut in half. Like

00:40:04.179 --> 00:40:08.530
it's insane. what we've already seen happen like

00:40:08.530 --> 00:40:11.030
on a cognitive level on a societal level because

00:40:11.030 --> 00:40:14.730
like it's so readily available and i think people

00:40:14.730 --> 00:40:16.949
don't care and i'm one of those people i don't

00:40:16.949 --> 00:40:19.110
really care what is done with my data like oh

00:40:19.110 --> 00:40:24.119
i don't care about girl whatever but I don't

00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:26.059
think that people understand how it works. I

00:40:26.059 --> 00:40:28.519
don't think they understand the ramifications

00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:30.820
of what they're doing to themselves or to the

00:40:30.820 --> 00:40:34.300
environment or to society as a whole. I feel

00:40:34.300 --> 00:40:38.260
like people have just started using it without

00:40:38.260 --> 00:40:41.739
considering the downsides ever. It's like the

00:40:41.739 --> 00:40:45.639
classic, just because we could, does that mean

00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:50.869
we should? Yeah, I agree. On a lighter note,

00:40:50.949 --> 00:40:53.309
what the fuck is Meghan Trainor doing? Oh, my

00:40:53.309 --> 00:40:56.610
God. Oh, Zen pic? I don't know. She's been skinny

00:40:56.610 --> 00:41:00.690
for a while, actually. Then, like, like... Or,

00:41:00.690 --> 00:41:02.230
like, just pull the table, like, a little bit

00:41:02.230 --> 00:41:03.730
over, because it's, like, not picking up as much

00:41:03.730 --> 00:41:07.530
anymore. The thinness isn't what I'm talking

00:41:07.530 --> 00:41:10.369
about. Actually, she's been skinny for a while.

00:41:10.510 --> 00:41:12.849
I just made that up. Well, she does have a Zen

00:41:12.849 --> 00:41:15.710
pic face. She 100 % has a Zen pic face. But...

00:41:16.010 --> 00:41:18.929
The the bigger question that I have is like,

00:41:18.969 --> 00:41:21.070
so she put out this new album and it's. Yeah,

00:41:21.150 --> 00:41:24.630
I will say I will give her there is the one song

00:41:24.630 --> 00:41:29.070
that was all over TikTok. Shimmer, I think it's

00:41:29.070 --> 00:41:31.630
called that. I actually really do like that song.

00:41:31.750 --> 00:41:36.010
I'll give her that. But it's it doesn't like

00:41:36.010 --> 00:41:38.090
if you put Shimmer next to like all about that

00:41:38.090 --> 00:41:44.269
bass next to lips are moving next to. Like any

00:41:44.269 --> 00:41:48.659
of her like. old music it it is almost unrecognizable

00:41:48.659 --> 00:41:55.179
to that she is like all in all just um like not

00:41:55.179 --> 00:41:58.440
even a stone's throw away from where she started

00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:02.880
i don't know no but i've seen a lot of speculation

00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:06.800
online where like they're like her music team

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:11.769
like went into some ai model and said Give me

00:42:11.769 --> 00:42:14.670
every popular term on Instagram and TikTok right

00:42:14.670 --> 00:42:17.429
now. And they just that's what the titles of

00:42:17.429 --> 00:42:20.869
songs became. And the other thing, too, is the

00:42:20.869 --> 00:42:25.530
the visuals, the dances. It all seems like she's

00:42:25.530 --> 00:42:28.309
telling people what she wants the trend to be

00:42:28.309 --> 00:42:30.869
like. This is what I want the TikTok dance to

00:42:30.869 --> 00:42:32.949
be to this song. And I think that's we've gotten

00:42:32.949 --> 00:42:35.389
away from like letting people discover things

00:42:35.389 --> 00:42:37.110
and enjoy them. It's like it's all become such

00:42:37.110 --> 00:42:40.079
like a. a business model for lack of a better

00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:45.199
term but the backlash from her fans has gotten

00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:48.300
so bad that she had to cancel like something

00:42:48.300 --> 00:42:50.260
insane like all but four of the stops on her

00:42:50.260 --> 00:42:52.860
North American tour like something insane like

00:42:52.860 --> 00:42:56.599
that and I was like there's real money that is

00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:59.699
being lost there like and I'm talking on like

00:42:59.699 --> 00:43:03.119
on the production level on the like the local

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:04.960
level where like do you know what Taylor Swift

00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:08.599
came to Indianapolis like it was one of the best

00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:10.199
things that has ever happened to the economy

00:43:10.199 --> 00:43:13.440
for this city. Look at Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico.

00:43:13.579 --> 00:43:15.739
Single -handedly it turned their economy around.

00:43:15.780 --> 00:43:18.199
Right. I mean, he's the reason, like, why, like,

00:43:18.300 --> 00:43:20.980
electricity is coming back to certain parts of

00:43:20.980 --> 00:43:24.699
that region now. Yeah. Because, like, they haven't

00:43:24.699 --> 00:43:26.980
had, like, in some parts, they haven't had electricity

00:43:26.980 --> 00:43:31.360
since Hurricane Zerma. I don't remember which

00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:33.179
one. Since the hurricane that, like, decimated

00:43:33.179 --> 00:43:37.170
Puerto Rico. I'm just like I think he personally

00:43:37.170 --> 00:43:39.809
helped with that too but yeah yes he did but

00:43:39.809 --> 00:43:43.489
the the it's like we're moving away from like

00:43:43.489 --> 00:43:44.969
people enjoying things and it's like now we're

00:43:44.969 --> 00:43:46.469
going to tell you what to enjoy which is neither

00:43:46.469 --> 00:43:48.570
here nor there but like people are going to react

00:43:48.570 --> 00:43:50.550
the way they are do you know who I feel like

00:43:50.550 --> 00:43:52.550
is the opposite of that right now and a real

00:43:52.550 --> 00:43:56.829
breath of fresh air miss Zara Larson oh my god

00:43:56.829 --> 00:44:04.070
yes her Kesha um who's the uh The one where they're

00:44:04.070 --> 00:44:05.590
just like, I'm just going to do what I like doing.

00:44:05.690 --> 00:44:07.989
If you like it, I want you to like it. Yeah.

00:44:08.090 --> 00:44:10.909
If it tops off, I'll be happy. But if not, I'm

00:44:10.909 --> 00:44:15.710
also an artist. It is just very much like that.

00:44:15.789 --> 00:44:18.889
I believe that's who they are as people. Like

00:44:18.889 --> 00:44:22.110
Zara Larson is still posting funny TikToks. I

00:44:22.110 --> 00:44:24.670
agree. I think you're probably 100 % right about

00:44:24.670 --> 00:44:27.429
that. But I do feel that a lot from certain artists

00:44:27.429 --> 00:44:31.190
where they're like. Okay, here's the TikTok dance

00:44:31.190 --> 00:44:34.630
for my latest song. Right. Let me show it to

00:44:34.630 --> 00:44:38.369
you so you can make me viral. No, but I agree

00:44:38.369 --> 00:44:41.230
with you about that. It's like, oh, the make

00:44:41.230 --> 00:44:45.929
me viral thing, because it's like, I don't know.

00:44:46.070 --> 00:44:49.570
Like, it's... Come by your own right. Yeah. Come

00:44:49.570 --> 00:44:51.690
out with something super fun and cool, and people

00:44:51.690 --> 00:44:53.889
will like it, and you'll go viral the old -fashioned

00:44:53.889 --> 00:44:57.269
way. And I think Meghan Trainor is... She's genuinely

00:44:57.269 --> 00:45:00.429
talented. Like, I remember seeing her live in,

00:45:00.469 --> 00:45:04.309
like, 2014. I mean, she was new, new. And, like,

00:45:04.309 --> 00:45:07.489
I was like, oh, she can sing. Oh, yeah. She has

00:45:07.489 --> 00:45:10.730
a genuinely really good voice. Yeah. And from

00:45:10.730 --> 00:45:13.190
what I've heard, is otherwise very musically

00:45:13.190 --> 00:45:16.369
talented. And I've heard she's a wonderful person,

00:45:16.449 --> 00:45:19.010
like, just in life. And, like. Married to the

00:45:19.010 --> 00:45:22.469
kid from Spy Kids. Yes. So cute. Right. I think

00:45:22.469 --> 00:45:26.659
all of that has really kind of. left the chat.

00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:30.219
I haven't heard her just sing acapella and be

00:45:30.219 --> 00:45:33.500
cute for years. She used to make those TikToks

00:45:33.500 --> 00:45:36.539
with Junie from Spy Kids and I'm like, I like

00:45:36.539 --> 00:45:38.820
that. I didn't really care about Meghan Trainor.

00:45:39.179 --> 00:45:43.280
I don't care about who she is as a person. That's

00:45:43.280 --> 00:45:46.460
cool. Live your life, whatever. But the backlash

00:45:46.460 --> 00:45:49.260
got super bad. Part of the problem is I think

00:45:49.260 --> 00:45:53.360
she's never... like really been disliked and

00:45:53.360 --> 00:45:56.639
so she can't yeah because i never really like

00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:59.579
was in love with her above his people were but

00:45:59.579 --> 00:46:02.980
it's like if you didn't like megan trainer it's

00:46:02.980 --> 00:46:04.619
not like you needed to go out and hate on her

00:46:04.619 --> 00:46:07.539
because she's like whatever right okay it's like

00:46:07.539 --> 00:46:09.320
i don't like taylor switch but i don't need to

00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:13.659
go hate her either sure well i'm gonna cut that

00:46:13.659 --> 00:46:15.320
because the internet's gonna cut after you but

00:46:15.320 --> 00:46:20.260
i'll say it loud and proud Ever since the era

00:46:20.260 --> 00:46:26.320
of our song and Teardrops on My Guitar, I haven't

00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:28.960
liked anything. I'm sorry. I liked, what was

00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:31.300
the song where she was like, the old Taylor's

00:46:31.300 --> 00:46:33.579
dead or whatever. I liked that song a lot. That's

00:46:33.579 --> 00:46:35.199
why I stopped liking her. I was like, why are

00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:40.139
you being weird? Oh, I like the weird. But there's

00:46:40.139 --> 00:46:43.820
room for debate there. Yeah, but it's not a big

00:46:43.820 --> 00:46:45.539
deal. I can say she was talented when it was

00:46:45.539 --> 00:46:47.179
Teardrops on My Guitar. She was very, very talented.

00:46:48.819 --> 00:46:50.579
So what's happened with Meghan Trainor, though,

00:46:50.659 --> 00:46:52.559
is like it's like people are like my hands off.

00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:54.019
I'm done. And I don't think she knows how to

00:46:54.019 --> 00:46:55.519
handle that. So she's not really saying anything

00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:58.099
publicly. But her little friend, Chris Olsen,

00:46:58.139 --> 00:47:01.500
is. And that's another one. I'm just not interested

00:47:01.500 --> 00:47:03.960
in his opinion about anything. I'm so sorry.

00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.280
If you want me to be really real about that.

00:47:07.300 --> 00:47:11.460
I do. I do. I have not cared or really heard

00:47:11.460 --> 00:47:14.360
a single word really come out of his mouth since

00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:17.559
he got divorced. I liked him and his little husband

00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:20.340
together on TikTok. I liked the husband. I didn't.

00:47:20.340 --> 00:47:23.000
Exactly. I never liked Chris. Exactly. I didn't

00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:24.900
realize that until post -divorce that I didn't

00:47:24.900 --> 00:47:27.900
really like him. I liked his relationship with

00:47:27.900 --> 00:47:32.000
his husband. Sure. The husband, I will tell you,

00:47:32.019 --> 00:47:34.500
has taken the high road in a way that I don't

00:47:34.500 --> 00:47:37.320
know a lot of people could because he said there

00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:38.840
are a lot of things I could say about it. I'm

00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:40.880
not going to say it publicly because I'm just

00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:42.420
not going to do that. He's been incredible about

00:47:42.420 --> 00:47:45.230
it. I've seen that too. I would be on this podcast

00:47:45.230 --> 00:47:49.329
airing all of his dirty laundry. I'm just like,

00:47:49.329 --> 00:47:52.710
she's so insufferable. And I'm like, you, sir,

00:47:52.889 --> 00:47:55.590
are on the internet being yourself. You can't

00:47:55.590 --> 00:47:57.690
handle any negative criticism whatsoever. And

00:47:57.690 --> 00:47:59.510
I think this is like a product of like a generational

00:47:59.510 --> 00:48:01.969
thing where like we've gotten so far away from

00:48:01.969 --> 00:48:04.449
like the way our parents were raised and the

00:48:04.449 --> 00:48:06.349
way like our my granny and papal were raised

00:48:06.349 --> 00:48:08.190
where it's like they had them and they had a

00:48:08.190 --> 00:48:09.869
rough childhood. So it's like they wanted to

00:48:09.869 --> 00:48:11.289
give us everything that we didn't have. And it's

00:48:11.289 --> 00:48:14.239
like. The Gen Z and then, like, Gen Alva, like,

00:48:14.300 --> 00:48:16.719
cannot handle negativity because they just, they

00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:19.159
don't know. They don't know what it looks like.

00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:21.940
Well, they take any type of criticism as negativity.

00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.179
Yes. But that's not always what it is, you know.

00:48:25.219 --> 00:48:27.380
Some people are genuinely trying to help you

00:48:27.380 --> 00:48:30.780
be better. Right. So, I don't know. But, in Chris

00:48:30.780 --> 00:48:32.139
Olsen's case, I don't want him to get better.

00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:33.840
I just want him to shut the fuck up. I just,

00:48:34.039 --> 00:48:36.679
if I never see his face again, it'll be too soon.

00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:41.239
I know. But. There's that. We're going to complain,

00:48:41.420 --> 00:48:43.619
and then Reality Roundup's going to be cut in

00:48:43.619 --> 00:48:46.300
because it might sound a little different. But

00:48:46.300 --> 00:48:49.059
I want to complain. I want you to complain. I

00:48:49.059 --> 00:48:50.039
want to hear what you have to complain about.

00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.900
So this very morning that we are recording this,

00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:59.059
let us set the scene. I wake up. It's 6 .15.

00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:03.619
That's fine. That's a reasonable time to me.

00:49:05.710 --> 00:49:08.369
I wake up not because the baby is awake, but

00:49:08.369 --> 00:49:13.650
because Kenny is freaking out. So I get up. I'm

00:49:13.650 --> 00:49:17.030
covered in sweat. I don't know. I looked it up.

00:49:17.070 --> 00:49:20.929
It's a hormonal thing, I guess. Oh. Fine. I'll

00:49:20.929 --> 00:49:24.250
sweat. Sure. Let's just keep it pushing. Turns

00:49:24.250 --> 00:49:28.349
out Kenny's freaked out because the dog has pooped

00:49:28.349 --> 00:49:33.219
all... over the house beautiful i'm so happy

00:49:33.219 --> 00:49:38.699
and so stinky i'm so happy and so okay i help

00:49:38.699 --> 00:49:42.760
him clean that up naturally that wakes the baby

00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:47.820
up of course sure let's get our day started fine

00:49:48.940 --> 00:49:54.280
So I get the baby fed. He's chilling. I'm preparing

00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:56.900
the living room for me to take the rug out so

00:49:56.900 --> 00:49:59.820
I can just put it in the washing machine. Thank

00:49:59.820 --> 00:50:02.800
you, Ruggable. I would love a sponsorship, Ruggable.

00:50:06.300 --> 00:50:10.860
Okay. And so I finally crack open some caffeine.

00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:15.059
I'm trying the new lime Red Bull, the, like,

00:50:15.059 --> 00:50:18.179
summer flavor they just came out with. Disgusting.

00:50:18.110 --> 00:50:23.230
Red Bull. Disgusting. How could you? I swear

00:50:23.230 --> 00:50:26.409
to God, you could like I got into my head. I

00:50:26.409 --> 00:50:28.369
could not have told you it was coming here, but

00:50:28.369 --> 00:50:32.050
I'm happy we got here. Please go ahead. Disgusting.

00:50:32.210 --> 00:50:38.150
It was honestly, I was truly shocked. It might

00:50:38.150 --> 00:50:41.730
taste good if you have alcohol. That's the only

00:50:41.730 --> 00:50:44.030
thing I can think of. So I was like, you know

00:50:44.030 --> 00:50:48.280
what? After the morning I've had. I deserve it.

00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:51.159
I'll order a coffee. Okay. But I know we shouldn't

00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:52.960
support Starbucks, and to be honest, I'm kind

00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:56.159
of bored of Starbucks, and so we try a new place.

00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:06.460
Disgusting. It is $25 of the nastiest latte I've

00:51:06.460 --> 00:51:09.079
ever tried. It's like, I don't like cold brew.

00:51:09.159 --> 00:51:11.579
I think it has a weird sour taste to me. Yes,

00:51:11.579 --> 00:51:15.510
it's very bitter or acidic, yeah. They used cold

00:51:15.510 --> 00:51:18.869
brew for a latte without my consent. What the

00:51:18.869 --> 00:51:24.750
fuck? And so I just moved on with my day. Whatever,

00:51:24.929 --> 00:51:29.389
whatever, whatever. We are washing the rug. We're

00:51:29.389 --> 00:51:33.469
getting the baby to sleep. It's great. We go

00:51:33.469 --> 00:51:36.230
for a walk. We come back. We're recording this

00:51:36.230 --> 00:51:39.630
podcast and the baby poops all over himself in

00:51:39.630 --> 00:51:42.309
his chair and his clothes and his changing table.

00:51:44.219 --> 00:51:46.380
So that's my day. That is what I'm complaining

00:51:46.380 --> 00:51:50.420
about. I will give you. I can tell. So we did

00:51:50.420 --> 00:51:52.820
our daily FaceTime. You were on a walk with Jack

00:51:52.820 --> 00:51:57.300
in August. And I could tell on that FaceTime.

00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:00.469
I was like. She is not interested in hearing

00:52:00.469 --> 00:52:02.809
about any of my bullshit right now. Oh, that's

00:52:02.809 --> 00:52:05.250
not true. I was fucked. You were in a bad fucking

00:52:05.250 --> 00:52:09.150
mood. I'm the same way. If I get really hungry,

00:52:09.409 --> 00:52:12.150
I am a fucking nightmare to be around. You weren't

00:52:12.150 --> 00:52:14.809
a nightmare. I could tell you were just like,

00:52:14.929 --> 00:52:19.210
I don't have it in me right now to expend my

00:52:19.210 --> 00:52:22.530
conversational skills. That's okay. I think I

00:52:22.530 --> 00:52:25.190
know exactly what was triggering that face for

00:52:25.190 --> 00:52:29.010
me, and it wasn't you. It was... A certain tapping

00:52:29.010 --> 00:52:34.250
on my arm every three seconds. You were overstimulated.

00:52:34.409 --> 00:52:37.989
Yeah. Anyways, yeah. I hate that you had a bad

00:52:37.989 --> 00:52:40.949
day, and I pray to God that when I go to get

00:52:40.949 --> 00:52:43.409
my hair cut, I take all of the negativity out

00:52:43.409 --> 00:52:45.670
of this house with me. If you do, I hope they

00:52:45.670 --> 00:52:49.050
cut it right off your head. Rebuke it. I want

00:52:49.050 --> 00:52:51.809
to complain about Xfinity being on their bullshit.

00:52:52.730 --> 00:52:56.869
Tell me. I get an email this morning that says,

00:52:57.360 --> 00:53:00.550
And I'll read it to you. You'll see a data. I'm

00:53:00.550 --> 00:53:02.929
sorry. You'll see Internet data overage fees

00:53:02.929 --> 00:53:05.769
on your next bill. You use more than the 1 .2

00:53:05.769 --> 00:53:07.989
terabytes of data included in your Internet plan

00:53:07.989 --> 00:53:10.989
for May 2026. You can continue to use your Internet

00:53:10.989 --> 00:53:13.650
service, but you are now being charged a $10

00:53:13.650 --> 00:53:18.469
plus tax fee for each 50 gigabyte block of additional

00:53:18.469 --> 00:53:21.369
data this month. Monthly overage fees will not

00:53:21.369 --> 00:53:24.070
exceed $100 and your data will reset on the first

00:53:24.070 --> 00:53:27.550
day of each month. Number one, I didn't know

00:53:27.550 --> 00:53:29.349
that there is a limit to how much internet I

00:53:29.349 --> 00:53:32.670
could use. I never once thought about that. Number

00:53:32.670 --> 00:53:35.429
two, take a wild guess on how much my Xfinity

00:53:35.429 --> 00:53:38.769
bill is each month. God, I think I'm going to

00:53:38.769 --> 00:53:43.250
throw up. $310 .35 a month. To be fair, I have

00:53:43.250 --> 00:53:47.909
internet and TV on the same plan. $310 a month.

00:53:48.869 --> 00:53:53.110
Yikes. And you want to tell me you're potentially

00:53:53.110 --> 00:53:56.309
going to charge me an extra $100 even though

00:53:56.309 --> 00:54:01.510
you are In my county, the only internet that's

00:54:01.510 --> 00:54:03.670
available that you can get because you've created

00:54:03.670 --> 00:54:06.889
a monopoly in Shelby County. Fuck you and the

00:54:06.889 --> 00:54:09.230
horse you rode on. I think that's exactly why

00:54:09.230 --> 00:54:12.150
they're okay with their HR being, no, their HR,

00:54:12.170 --> 00:54:16.050
their PR being so bad because they know that

00:54:16.050 --> 00:54:18.130
like people are stuck with them all over the

00:54:18.130 --> 00:54:20.429
place. And I'm just like, like, and they, they

00:54:20.429 --> 00:54:22.550
have a lot because like Shelby County has had

00:54:22.550 --> 00:54:26.190
on several occasions. One company tried to come

00:54:26.190 --> 00:54:30.309
in and bring in fiber optic internet. And Xfinity

00:54:30.309 --> 00:54:34.210
has shut that down. The people in the planning

00:54:34.210 --> 00:54:37.030
commission will not even entertain at this point

00:54:37.030 --> 00:54:38.869
because Xfinity has such a chokehold on accounting.

00:54:39.110 --> 00:54:45.369
It's so annoying. Take it to the Supreme Court.

00:54:45.969 --> 00:54:49.070
There's a monopoly here. I have to imagine that

00:54:49.070 --> 00:54:51.840
there's probably... It has to break some kind

00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:56.599
of antitrust law. It has to. Like, but, I don't,

00:54:56.619 --> 00:54:59.179
like, I think they have, like, different regions

00:54:59.179 --> 00:55:00.679
of the country where they're allowed to, like,

00:55:00.679 --> 00:55:02.219
do this. Like, I feel like I remember something

00:55:02.219 --> 00:55:04.639
about this. But, like, I'm just like, I pay $310

00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:08.860
a month for internet and TV. Fuck you. You're

00:55:08.860 --> 00:55:11.960
just getting an extra $100 wherever you can scrape

00:55:11.960 --> 00:55:15.500
it together. Jesus. You are one of the most valuable

00:55:15.500 --> 00:55:18.139
companies in existence. Like, Xfinity is owned

00:55:18.139 --> 00:55:20.539
by Comcast, which is owned by their parent company.

00:55:20.989 --> 00:55:23.030
Their parent company is NBC Universal. Yeah.

00:55:23.489 --> 00:55:26.269
They're fine. You're not hurting for money. No.

00:55:26.730 --> 00:55:30.170
Like... Yeah. But that's where we're at today.

00:55:30.230 --> 00:55:33.170
Which, by the way, is so crazy. Like, you have

00:55:33.170 --> 00:55:35.849
to go in... I've always thought this with, like,

00:55:35.849 --> 00:55:38.769
any kind of parent company situation. The fact

00:55:38.769 --> 00:55:43.349
that you have to pay Xfinity and Peacock is,

00:55:43.409 --> 00:55:46.230
like... So that's the other weird thing, too,

00:55:46.269 --> 00:55:48.469
is, like, there's so many licensing things with

00:55:48.469 --> 00:55:51.340
these things. Yeah. Like, I... I have to assume

00:55:51.340 --> 00:55:53.960
it all stems back to where they were all their

00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:57.719
own individual companies. Before they were under

00:55:57.719 --> 00:56:01.340
the umbrella, yeah. Right. Because NBC didn't

00:56:01.340 --> 00:56:04.260
used to be the same as Universal, did they? No,

00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:09.960
NBC acquired Universal after they were sold off

00:56:09.960 --> 00:56:11.940
by Warner Brothers. Time Warner is, I think,

00:56:11.940 --> 00:56:14.639
who sold off Universal. And they did a lot with

00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:21.489
that. Peacock has been specifically NBCUniversal

00:56:21.489 --> 00:56:23.750
since its inception, so I don't understand why

00:56:23.750 --> 00:56:25.869
I have to pay for both. Because I will and I

00:56:25.869 --> 00:56:30.250
do. Yeah, that's probably why. Because you will.

00:56:30.389 --> 00:56:31.469
Because they know I'm going to watch The Real

00:56:31.469 --> 00:56:34.090
Housewives. And it's not just you. It's everyone.

00:56:34.269 --> 00:56:36.289
Because they will do it. Because they'll shake

00:56:36.289 --> 00:56:39.449
everyone down for $13 a month if they can. But

00:56:39.449 --> 00:56:42.849
that's where we're at today. We'll be back for

00:56:42.849 --> 00:56:44.449
Reality Roundup.
