1 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: Well, you know what time it is. It's time for 2 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: another podcast, another episode of What Future, where I ponder 3 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: the greatest mysteries the mankind, the human kind, i should say, 4 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: has ever known, whereas human kind has man in it. 5 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to find a new word for that, 6 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: unfortunately for everybody. Anyhow, as usual, I've been thinking about 7 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: the Internet a lot. The Internet as an object of mystery, 8 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: the Internet as a meeting point for the greatest minds 9 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 1: of our generation and also the worst minds of our generation. 10 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: Strangely enough, they're all there, just like in the real world, 11 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: just like I R L. Are all gathering, conversing, talking 12 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: about the days news and offering their viewpoints, all of 13 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: which are terrible, no matter who they are, all bad viewpoints. 14 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: I think we've all been there. I think you know 15 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: who you are. I certainly know who I am. Anyhow, 16 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about the nature of the Internet and 17 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: the people who are on and frankly the people who 18 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: use it for profit. I don't know. I'd say for 19 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: fun and profit, but I'm not really sure we can 20 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: say that anymore. And Uh, it got me thinking about 21 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: great journalists who cover influencer culture and the sort of 22 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: world of influencers that exist now, which is I think 23 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: has gotten It's quite diverse actually in a way, just 24 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: all sorts of different levels of people influencing being influenced. 25 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: So that of course led me to think about the 26 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: journalists I know who are great at covering this stuff, 27 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: and I thought of Rebecca Jennings, who is a senior 28 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: correspondent at vox dot com and also has a blog 29 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: about fashion, but her day job, uh, really is about 30 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: reporting on some of the strangest and most influential influencers 31 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: who have ever influenced and anyhow, So I thought, let's 32 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: bring her on. Let's talk about what is going on 33 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: out there, Let's talk about those strange pockets of the 34 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: Internet that she is professionally chronicling every day. So Rebecca 35 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: Jennings has joined the podcast for a chat about the 36 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: future of influence. First off, thank you for doing this, 37 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: of course, I should say, I really appreciate it. By 38 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: the way, are you drinking red wine? Is that a 39 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: glass of red wine? I am drinking red wine because 40 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: let let me be clear, it is six pm, I'm 41 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: off the clock, and I have to go to a 42 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: bar right after this, so I'm pregaming. No dude, my 43 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: way into my office where I record the podcast. There's 44 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: a refrigerator in our garage because I'm behind my garage. 45 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: This is way too much information for what I'm about 46 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: to tell you. I grabbed a non alcoholic beer. I'm like, yeah, 47 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: I'll just have an n A beer, like I don't 48 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: need a drink. The whole time before that, I was 49 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: like I should get a drink, And now that you're drinking, 50 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: I feel like I've made a horrible mistake going in. Man, 51 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: I'd like to, but the time it would take for 52 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: me to actually go and retrieve a drink right now 53 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: would be like you'd have to go to the bar. 54 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: So but I was been thinking about how there's so 55 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: much stuff to talk about with you that, so I 56 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: really appreciate you doing it. How would you describe your 57 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: coverage beat? You're at a dinner party. You're seated next 58 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: to a person who's like, doesn't own an iPhone. They're 59 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: like a flip phone person. Yeah, no, I know you 60 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: think a flip phone is cool, so do I. Because 61 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: the person was a flip phone who's like unaware that 62 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: they could have a different type of phone. And then 63 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: there's a person has a flip phone as like a status. 64 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: Now this is the first person. This is the person 65 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: who just has at the flip phone since and they're 66 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 1: just rolling with it anyhow. They're fifty five years old there, 67 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: they work in accounting, and you have to explain your 68 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: job to them. Go ahead, what would you say? Not 69 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: to put you on the spot, and how do you 70 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: how would you describe it? No? No, totally. I mean 71 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: the easy answer is like I would just say, like 72 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: I write about internet culture, and you know, you you 73 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: hear about all these influencers. Have you heard about I 74 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: don't know this Kim Kardashian lady, She's she's one of 75 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: the influencers, and there's a whole lot more of them. 76 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: And they'd be like, so you, oh, you write about 77 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian, but you don't write it. I mean you 78 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: probably have written about Kim Kardashian, but right, but it 79 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: would be sort of like, well, she kind of was 80 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: the first version of this thing that's you know, very 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: very prevalent. Now a lot of people are just making 82 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: money online and I am covering the way they do 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: that and the way that people interact online. That's pretty good. Yeah, 84 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: I'm trying not to use any like big buzzwords that 85 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: would trip somebody like that up, like the creator economy. No, 86 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: you know right well, the creator economy is over, isn't it. 87 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: Isn't that dead? Isn't that that was? It was? Sure, 88 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: there's there's always going to be people making money online 89 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: and that's getting famous online, and that's all I care about. 90 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: And it's interesting what you just said though, Actually, do 91 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: you consider Kim Kardashian to be like the seed of 92 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: this flower that has I want to say this flower 93 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: there's blossom, but I'm not sure that's exactly how you 94 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: describe it. Like, is Kim Kardashian's rise to fame the 95 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: sap lane that has led to this forest of influencers? No, 96 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: I just think that she's such a global icon. Like 97 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: I'm not even saying that in like a positive way. 98 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: It's just like people know who she is, even if 99 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: they have a flip phone, and they are not doing 100 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: that as some kind of statusy way. And I think 101 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: her rise totally correlates to the rise of social media, 102 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: which is like basically what I cover. Um, But I 103 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: mean I would also argue that, you know, Paris Hilton 104 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: before her is is a good example of the kind 105 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: of tabloid internet bloggy culture that started in the two 106 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: thousands or that early two thousand's, And then I think 107 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian and you know, to an extent, her family. 108 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: Really really we're one of the first people to like 109 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: capitalize stratospherically on this idea that you don't need to 110 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: go through the traditional media or even blogs in order 111 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: to be famous. You can just go directly to the 112 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: people on Instagram, to the people. It's very democratic, it's 113 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: really very beautiful. Actually, it's we really like level the 114 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: playing field. You could say, we've almost socialized it. Really. Yeah, 115 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: everything's perfect now, no notes, everything, everything is perfect, and 116 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: like all of the money making opportunities are very permanent 117 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: and long lasting career decisions if you're fairly distributed. Yeah, definitely, 118 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: definitely fairly distributed. What's interesting actually about your beat is 119 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: there are these megap like a Kim Kardashian or like, 120 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: what's the most popular influencer that you can think of 121 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: right now? Give me like a name. God, Like it 122 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the absolute top, but like, who's 123 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: somebody who's like a household name from an influencer perspective, like, 124 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: but on the Internet, I think the real answer for 125 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: you is probably someone like Mr Beast and R Like, 126 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: I think that is the biggest most influential Internet person 127 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: right now, Mr Beast And for those who don't maybe 128 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: don't know, and I don't know who would be listening 129 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: to my podcast and not know. But Mr Beast is 130 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: a YouTuber. He's like a regular white guy from right 131 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: isn't pretty pretty much and he's famous for what what 132 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: is he famous for? What is it? What do people 133 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: like about him? Basically, he's a YouTuber. He pulls a 134 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: lot of big, flashy stunts where he pranks, a lot 135 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: of pranks, a lot of big like you know, he 136 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: made a fake version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, and 137 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, and the Squid Game, Like he pulled a 138 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: stunt where he got all these like extras, like extra actors. 139 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: So he recycles culture is a guy who's like, remember 140 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: that thing that happening, culture, I did it again, but 141 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: at a mall or whatever, and people are like, oh 142 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: my god, yeah, and adds like really crazy YouTube thumbnails 143 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: and with all caps titles that are just like visual 144 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: stimuli for your kids to watch. So in his main 145 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: fan bases like twelve year old boys or something, right, 146 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: maybe it's twelve year old girls as well, but like 147 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: he's for kids, Is that the idea? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. 148 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: I feel like there's this whole strain of YouTubers that 149 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: are just like a replacement for Jackass, some like slightly 150 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: more evolved version of Jackass, but without the charm, without 151 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: like the I agree or the danger. Yeah, exactly, much 152 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: more Santati. The Jackass guys were legitimately, we're legitimately injuring 153 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: themselves and those around them, and like not that that's good. 154 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: I I actually and this is I probably said this 155 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: before in the show. I like hate pranks, Like I 156 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: really hate pranks exceptually, and I think like pranks just 157 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: are like this really weird. I would say male agrow 158 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: form of communication that is like it's like kind of 159 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: ah into attacking somebody physically. It's like pranks are almost 160 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: a way that men have figured out to attack someone physically, 161 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: but like you forced them to laugh about it, which 162 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: is like a really fucked up thing. You know. It's 163 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: like like if I like open a door and something 164 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: hit me in the face, like my first reaction is 165 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: like that's painful and upsetting and scary and surprising and 166 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: all of these things that I don't like. But with 167 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: a prank, you're supposed to be like, oh you got me, Like, 168 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: oh you broke you broke my nose and I'm going 169 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: to the hospital. But it was worth it for the video. Anyhow, 170 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: we're a little bit off topic, but so Mr Beast 171 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: is a huge, huge internet celebrate, let's call it for 172 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: a bit lack of a better term. But you cover 173 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: people all the time. This is I actually had a 174 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: point there's I was actually going somewhere. You cover people 175 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: all the time who are not that they're like this 176 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: mid tier maybe even lower tier, like this article about haters, 177 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: which I want to talk about, like in more detail. 178 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: But but these are not people who are making like Mr. 179 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: Beasts made like seventy million dollars last year or something. 180 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: He's like unfathomably wealthy from this, right, like the who 181 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: are this sisters, the TikTok sisters, the Damelios, the Demelius, 182 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: they make a ton of money, right, They're very exactly. 183 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: Are the people who you're covering like that are like 184 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: mid tier? Are they making a living? Yeah? I think 185 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: that when we talk about mid tier people or maybe 186 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: talking about like the kind of people that I interview 187 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: for the stories, like people who make day in my 188 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: Life videos where you know, they have a following of 189 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: maybe even up to a million on TikTok or something, 190 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: which honestly, in the context of the platform isn't really 191 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: that much. But really, yeah, a million followers of TikTok 192 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: is not that much. I mean it is, And like, 193 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: I think I know a lot of TikTokers with about 194 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: that many followers who are making a great living like 195 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: a k A. Like you know, they can support themselves 196 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: probably around six figures more maybe, but not everybody. You know, 197 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: it totally depends they're producing content constantly, right, there's a 198 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: content pustle to produce content, correct, and often they have 199 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: like podcast deals and like you know, the kind of 200 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: brand sponsorships where the job is really never ending and 201 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: so is a big trade cuff obviously, But yeah, I'm 202 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: lots more interested in these kind of people, like the 203 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: middle class of online creators who you know, are are 204 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: still relatively normal or making like normal amounts of money, 205 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: but they are kind of these many celebrities within this 206 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: world and you know, they get stopped on the street 207 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: pretty frequently because when you go viral on TikTok a 208 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: few times, like people are going to know who you are. 209 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: And I'm really fascinated by that because it's completely different 210 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: from the way that internet fame used to work, where 211 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: you had to try really, really really hard to get 212 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: big over a series of years, or you were a 213 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: Rebecca Black where you had one thing that made you 214 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: inescapable and it was horrible and whatever. But I really 215 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: am fascinated by these people who kind of stumble into 216 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: online notoriety and kind of make a living out of this, 217 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: even if they're not like a household name, someone like 218 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: Mr Beast or Charlie Damelia, like people who still live 219 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: relatively normal lives but are kind of celebrities. And I 220 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: think it's a really fascinating economy. It's fascinating that we 221 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: have manufactured this economy, that this economy has arisen. I'm curious, like, 222 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: you know, the things that people are triggered by, you know, 223 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: for better or worse, Like do you ever think like 224 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to stop writing about this ship and just 225 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: become like one of these people? Uh No, Because I 226 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: talked to enough of them where I know how tough 227 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: it is and how tough it is on them mentally. 228 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: You know, their entire sense of self and self worth 229 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: revolves around how their last video performed. And I've seen 230 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: it really destroy especially young kids. So I think I 231 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: know better, like I knew you're grown up. You can 232 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: handle it now you've got the mental equipment. Yeah, but 233 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: I know myself enough to know that I like health 234 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: insurance and that I like stability, and I like up 235 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: steady paycheck. I'm not built for the freelance life. H 236 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: And if I were to do the freelance life, I 237 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: would probably view something like TikTok as like maybe a 238 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: marketing tool for you know, books or whatever else I 239 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: want to make. I don't see it as up sustainable 240 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: path to a really like great career. I know I 241 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: don't know how old you are, and I'm not going 242 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: to ask. Okay, okay, fine, So what are you a millennial? Yes? 243 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: Do youre a millennial? Okay? Do you think that you're 244 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: feeling is informed by your generation that you're from at all? No? 245 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: Not at all. Actually, I'm very steadfast in the opinion 246 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: that generations are fake and like everyone who is human 247 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: is like, you know, going to make the same decision 248 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 1: with what they're given. But I also know that there's 249 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, gen Z workers who are 250 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: so scared about like you know, stability and health insurance 251 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: and things like that, Like they want it probably even 252 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: more than I do. You know, like this is a luxury. 253 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: I realized that to like not have to worry about 254 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: to have a job. Yes, like having a job is 255 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: a luxury. A job with health insurance and a job 256 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: with benefits and things like that. That's true. There's this 257 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: dream of like cobbling together all these different like persona 258 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: based revenue streams where it's like I'm just being myself 259 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: and I'm making all this money. But I know more 260 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: than you know they do how much work that is 261 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: and how constant and just like how much it completely 262 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: destroys any other sense of self that you had beyond 263 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: your brand and your fame and your persona. And I 264 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: would never wish that on myself or anybody. Yeah, it's 265 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: like you've seen the horrors of this industry you're actually 266 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: turned off by You're not like this is cool and exciting. 267 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: I should do this instead of being a dumb journalist 268 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: you know now that you're a dumb journalist. I mean, 269 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: just the job is. I'm not saying I don't want 270 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: to be like a visible like success in my field 271 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: or whatever. But I think anyone with a brain knows 272 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: that the best part of like fame is the money 273 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: and not the fame. The applause you've got is great, 274 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: but like the fame part of it, like that is 275 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: gross and weird and bad. M wow, Okay, you've not 276 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: been tempted to become Mrs Beast or whatever Miss Beast? Yeah? 277 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Is Mr Beast married? Does he have kids? Like? 278 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: What's his deal? Like, how he's got the He's like, 279 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: oh really? Yeah? I feel like I saw a picture 280 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: of Mr. Beast and he looked like he was in 281 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: his forties. He does look a bit older. I'm gonna 282 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: google this, right you how old? I say, he's like 283 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: thirty eight? Yes, his age is twenty four. He's twenty four. 284 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: He looks much older. God, what that sounds like a lie. 285 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: I think he's lying. Now. That would be a great story. 286 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: Can you investigate whether not Mr Beast is lying about 287 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: his age? By the way, I'm willing to guess if 288 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: you did a story let's say you found out that 289 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: Mr Beast is lying about his age and he's actually 290 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: thirty three or something, which is very possible, by the way, 291 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: Like we should not rule it out because celebrities lab 292 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: about their age all the time. How much hate do 293 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: you feel like you would get from the Mr beasts 294 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: fan base for revealing his true age? Um, I don't know, 295 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: and I don't really care because like, I don't know. 296 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: It's it's like, I hate to say it, but like 297 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: I've been pretty lucky. Like I know that you're probably 298 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: used to talking to women who have just had a 299 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: horrible experiences online and like, oh women every wood. I mean, yeah, 300 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: I have, but it's just like I think I've been 301 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: very lucky in that regard. And so yeah, when I've 302 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: written like two articles on like Andrew Tate and people 303 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: calling me like a con and you know, I should 304 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: die whatever, Like I'm just like I don't care about 305 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: that's fucking extreme though, that's crazy, But this is my point. 306 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: You see here, you are You're like, I haven't had 307 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: those experiences, but that's a very abnormal reaction to an 308 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: article you didn't like. Yeah, I know that like those 309 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: people who like Andrew Tate are insane psycho so like, 310 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: of course they're going to call me a coun I 311 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: don't give a ship. It's true. Wow. But yeah, that's 312 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: the first time to see where it has been podcast. 313 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: But no, no, no, it's great. I we had just 314 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: haven't had anybody uses. So I've been trying to cross 315 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: as many as many swear words. I mean, I think 316 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: it's a great word when used by girls and gaze 317 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: to each other. But otherwise, no, I think that's fine. 318 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: I think if you want to take ownership of that 319 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: and re contextualize that, that's fantastic. I mean the Andrew 320 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: tap thing is funny. I mean, like it's not funny, 321 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: but I do find it huzzling. Now, I'm not like 322 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: a of your old or fourteen yre. I don't know 323 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: who his followers are, but they're young, that's my understanding. Yeah, 324 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: And I don't know what it's like to be a 325 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: young like, but they're all boys, right, there's no other 326 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: girls girls who defend him, and I understand why. That's 327 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: like a trad wife sort of perspective, right, that's sure. 328 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: The term would be like a pick me, you know, 329 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: someone who stands up for something that's like objectively anti feminist. 330 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: There's a term for that, and it's picked me. You've 331 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: never heard of a pick me girl? You mean pick 332 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: me like? Pick me? Yeah, okay, No, I mean this 333 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: is actually this particular piece of terminology I'm unfamiliar with. 334 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: Could you explain it a little bit? Oh my god, okay, 335 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: we'll pick me is like that's that's the old slang, 336 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: um isn't. Okay, well, you know, I'm very old. It's well, 337 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: it's also used like today. But it's a girl who 338 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: like goes against her own gender. Essentially, it's someone who 339 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: says anti feminist things so that guys will like her. Okay, 340 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: I've never heard the term pick me. I do understand 341 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: what you mean. But maybe this is a thing that's 342 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: like girls know about more than boys do. I'm not 343 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: really sure, but like there's a lot of those things, 344 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: so you would use it in a derogatory way to 345 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: describe someone, obviously you don't never never positive pick me 346 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: girl is not cool. She's like a trader to women. 347 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: That's what you're saying, basically, Okay, interesting, and so the 348 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: girls that like entertainer pick me girls do trad wives 349 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: fall into the pick me like sub Is they a 350 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: subset of the pick me girl? Or sure? I think 351 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: they're more like anyone who uses the term trad wife 352 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: is probably older than the kind of girl who would 353 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: be called to pick me girl. You know I'm old? Okay, fine, 354 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: what is the new term for a trad wife? No, 355 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: it's not that like this is a new term. It's 356 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: that like pick me is often a term used for 357 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: women who are single and younger, whereas trad wife is 358 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: more of a term used for women who are of 359 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: marrying age. Okay, okay, right, got it. Pick me girl 360 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: could become a trad wife if she plays her cards right. 361 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: You're saying you got it now? Huh? Is you're a 362 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: post trad wife stage? And also is there a pre 363 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: pick me stage? I'd like to know. Well, I think 364 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: the post trade wife is just like mills, like divorced 365 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: milf wife. Oh wow, this is the Pokemon evolution of 366 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: this particular It's like all of the stages. Um okay, wow, 367 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: I feel like I've learned a lot here. But getting 368 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: back to Andrew Tate, the majority of his fans are 369 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: not pick me girls. The majority of his fans are 370 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: young men who feel like I guess are they like 371 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: proto in cells? Are are Andrew Tates fans like in 372 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: cells and training? Is that the idea? I mean yeah, 373 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Like I don't want to imply that he's some like 374 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: genius at getting little boys to pay attention to him, 375 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: because he's definitely not a genius, that's yeah. But it's like, 376 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 1: I think the way sometimes some people talk about him 377 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: is that he's like this huge danger to boys. And 378 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: it's like they're of always always been these kind of guys, 379 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: whether they're comedians or you know, politicians sometimes or whoever 380 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: that like speak to these you know, twelve year old boys. 381 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: Once they get to an age where they're like, oh, 382 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: I understand what feminism is, then they're like, oh, that's 383 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: a threat to me personally with a boy, and I 384 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: should be the one, you know, who everything is catered 385 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: to me. So I think like they target kids, or 386 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: they happen to target kids that are in that kind 387 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: of phase of life where they're starting to understand these 388 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: kind of like sexual politics and they see them as 389 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: a threat and they weaponize it against their female peers, 390 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: who then you know, internalized them forever and whatever, and 391 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: the cycle goes on blah, yeah, blah blah blah blah. Indeed, 392 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: actually it's funny you say that, but like in a way, 393 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: it's almost like a It's like there's this spirit of 394 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: completely shittiness that just travels through the ages, and he's 395 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: just the latest avatar. There's just something in the human 396 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: nature that we have to produce one of these, like 397 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: for every generation, we have to produce genuinely, yes, it's true. Yeah, 398 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: who is entertained like overtaken as the preeminent voice in 399 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: being a ship head man? Like well, when I was younger, 400 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: it was Tucker Max who was like, oh, yeah, just 401 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: vocal these girls or like the pickup artist guys ruche 402 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: V or whatever.

Maybe he's rue the twitch guy, 404 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: he's like a pickup artist adjacent. Maybe he's like one 405 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: of these pro rape guys or whatever, like whoever they are, Like, 406 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, isn't that what entertained is? And he 407 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: like take what you want or whatever. He would say 408 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: that he's not, but then he's also said that, you know, 409 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: some horrible things about like pro assaulting women and sexual 410 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: assaulting women, So like we do not need to keep 411 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: talking about entertained. No, we don't. Well you did write 412 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: an explainer, Okay, well I had. It was in the news. 413 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: I realized Jim bank Off, the CEO of Box called 414 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: you up. Box Media said I needed we needn't explain 415 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: her on this guy. It's like my son is. It's like, 416 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: did not happen?

Anyway, Well, I'm incredible 418 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: ground recovering here today. I mean, honestly, I'm I think 419 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm learning so much. Sorry about haters. Can you set 420 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: the stage a little bit, because I think it's a 421 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: very interesting trend and I've noticed it in my own feeds. Yeah, 422 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: I follow a lot of dumb meme accounts on Instagram, 423 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: so that might be the reason. But explain the hater 424 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: trend a little bit, could you. Yeah. So basically, there's 425 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, kind of trend that's going around. I would say, 426 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: like TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, the fun apps where people are 427 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: just like, you know what, I'm a proud hater, you know, 428 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: like everyone says the haters, I'm a hater, like and 429 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: then I'm proud and you know, I'm spreading negativity, you know, 430 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: spreading positivity and spreading activity. I follow meme accounting there 431 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: like I'm in my hater phase or whatever, like hater era. Yeah, 432 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: villain villain and the hater era both used interchangeably. Yeah, okay, right, 433 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: I got it right, And so I did a piece 434 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: on how this is not necessarily it doesn't have anything 435 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: to do with the idea of like mass harassment campaigns 436 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: or hate groups, which are obviously very prevalent on the Internet. 437 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's there's a different, different kind of haters. Really, yes, 438 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: like they're both haters in a way, but not the 439 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: hater that we're talking about. We're not talking about like 440 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: hate crimes and like hate groups, right, I mean, like, okay, okay, 441 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: are people confused that these things are the same, because 442 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like you're talking about people 443 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: who like make fun of things, which is like what 444 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: these haters are posters? Yeah, yeah, like like making fun 445 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,479 Speaker 1: of stuff, Like I follow this account. It's mid century modern. 446 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: What the hell is it called. It's like an Instagram 447 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: account that makes fun of like people who are into 448 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: furniture y M C M wholesale. I believe it's what 449 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: it's called I owned some of the furniture they talk about, 450 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: and they're like, basically like people who are into this 451 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: are stud bit and lame, you know, Like so they're 452 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: like that they're not hate groups focused on like you know, 453 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: destroying like an entire race of people or something. Correct, 454 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: we're talking about hating like dumb pop culture ship or 455 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: like influencer stuff, and not like the Jews. Sorry, no, 456 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: it's perfect, it's perfect. There's a real distinction. Feels so 457 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: gross saying that. No, no, it's it's you can't say 458 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: the Jews. It's really is problematic. It is really it's 459 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: not like the words itself are not are not offensive. 460 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: It's just there's hardly any context where they feel right. 461 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: And I say this as a Jewish person all the time, like, actually, 462 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: I feel like I got called out on the podcast 463 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: recently some peoples like, oh really the Jews, okay, anyhow, 464 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: not to get off topic, but so these people are 465 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: just they're just disgruntled really more than any well I 466 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: would say, yes, but also not really at the thing 467 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: that they're talking about. But I think what really this 468 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: is a pushback against is this idea that, like all 469 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: internet discourse has to be inherently positive. It's very much 470 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: a pushback against like I mean, poptimism to use a 471 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: really dated term, but like this idea that, like, you know, 472 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: all YouTubers, even when they're really doing really shitty things, 473 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: they're just spreading positivity according to them. Right when, like 474 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: Logan Paul looked at that suicide, he was like, I'm 475 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: just trying to spread positivity. Was it Logan Paul or 476 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: Jake Paul? It was Logan Paul. I hate that. I 477 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: know that you have to know it. This is your 478 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: whole beat. I don't know you didn't know it would 479 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: be would be shocking. I guess they were kind of 480 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: like a little bit proto and entertain guys kind of sure, 481 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think the Paul brothers were good, 482 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: like pre Yeah, there's so many of these guys. Jordan 483 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 1: Peterson whatever. Oh yeah, he's like an elder statesman of 484 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: that kind of vibe, you know. Okay, Sorry, getting back 485 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: to the haters. They're pushing back against poptimism, which is 486 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: like a term from the Six Dies. I feel like 487 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: I know that was cool. I was a communications major, 488 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: so I do know these words. You're doing a great 489 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: job of communicating it's all paying off because I'm like, honestly, 490 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: this is like just so much great information. So it's 491 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: a reaction to people being nice, is what you're saying, No, 492 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: people saying they're being nice but not being kind. I 493 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: guess it's kind of like, you know, what I would 494 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: I would compare it to is like the idea that 495 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: Southerners are nice but not kind and Northerners are kind 496 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: but not nice. And I think that expression sounds right. 497 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: I guess it means like people in the South seem 498 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 1: like they're being nice, but they're actually rude or mean. 499 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: I guess it's like more that there's a culture of 500 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 1: like pretending everything's fine and good. And I totally, like, 501 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm very a big fan of politeness, so I totally 502 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: understand that culture. But I think there's a stereotype that 503 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: New Yorkers, you know, are aren't very nice to your face, 504 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: but like mean well, um, and the culture is more like, hey, 505 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: let's bond over what we are complaining about, you know. 506 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: I think that I think there's some truth to that. 507 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that, but I think it's more 508 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: like about time management than to be honest with you, 509 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: Like I think it's New Yorkers don't really have time 510 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: to like waste cycles on like pleasantries. You know. I 511 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: think a lot of the time when a New Yorker 512 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: is interacting with you, it's because they're in a hurry, basically, 513 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: like I feel like, yeah, like, have you ever been 514 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: at a coffee shop that's outside of New York? And 515 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: I know I'm going to get a lot of hate 516 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: mail for this, but have you waited in line at 517 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: a coffee shop in a non New York location? Yes? 518 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 1: People are so slow at doing things, it's insane. Well 519 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: it's their chatty and everybody's like taking their time, like 520 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: they don't have anywhere to be or anything else to do, 521 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: and it's it is like I kind of understand that 522 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: the expression. And then I don't know, I haven't spent 523 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: that much time in the South, But hold on, is 524 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 1: somebody refilling your glass off camera? Is it? No? Sorry, 525 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: my boyfriend just got home from the gym, and it's 526 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: like he refilled your glasses that current okay, but I 527 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: feel like your glass was like low and then got 528 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: it was like, well I do have a bottle of money. Okay, 529 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,239 Speaker 1: that's more. What I was getting to is how did 530 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: you get more wine in yours? I guess, like, yeah, 531 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: I guess if somebody refilling it off cameras suggest maybe 532 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: I want to hear more about your boyfriend. But that's good. 533 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: He's working out, staying in shape. It's very important. We 534 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 1: do have a gym in our building. Not to brag, 535 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: but no, that's great. Wow, a gym in the building. Okay, 536 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: really a one per center over here? Yeah, cancel me. 537 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: Probably a dorman. I do have a doorman. Okay, Well, 538 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: luck we've got a COVID deal. I'm not rich, it 539 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, luckily. You know you, like you said, you 540 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: don't feel like the haters can really do anything to you. Well, 541 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: it's funny because I'm very, very bothered by like people 542 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: who are normal saying something mean about me that that 543 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: hurts deeply. People who are Andrew tape fans. I do 544 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: not care what they say. So wait, when you say 545 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: people who are normal, let's see, I'm trying to think 546 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: of what that category looks like. Like people who don't 547 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: outwardly have like yeah, like you know, you look on 548 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: their you know, Twitter profile or something, and they're not 549 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: just like angrily tweeting at everyone that's their whole thing. 550 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: You know. I say that's healthy, that's really well adjusted. 551 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,239 Speaker 1: So you're saying like, if a rational person says something mean, 552 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: that is obviously very affecting to you. Yes, yes, absolutely, 553 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: But do rational people ever say mean things to you online? Um? 554 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: I've had a couple and I remember them all really, Yes, 555 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Could you cite one? Oh god?

I Actually there's been times where I've worded 558 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: things pretty sloppily and people like rightfully called me out 559 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: for it, and I and I always remember, like I 560 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: still feel really guilty about that specifically, Could you tell 561 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: me one instance of this? Um, there was one time 562 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: where I made a tweet about like how I really 563 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: disliked the tone of certain Twitter conversations where people were like, 564 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: remember to drink some water. And I was like, this 565 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: feels so like infantilizing to me, Yeah, like condescending. Yeah, 566 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: And all I said was that, like, oh, I would 567 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: read like two thousand words on this tone, this particular 568 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: internet tone that you can really only find online. And 569 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: someone said, hey, like I'm disabled and I need these 570 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: reminders to take my medicine or something, and I didn't 571 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: respond to that, but then a lot of other people 572 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: found the tweet and then started like piling on. And 573 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: then this one, you know, disability advocate who have like 574 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: I've read her writing, she's super cool.

Like, for instance, like when 593 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: I get into an argument with my mother, which is 594 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: fairly often, um, she'll say in the middle of the argument, 595 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: she'll say, calm down, yeah, And I've said to her, 596 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: like I can't think of a worse thing to say 597 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: to a person when they're like fired up about something, 598 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: where you just are like completely like just flattening their 599 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: all of their arguments with like your overreacting basically, And 600 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a calm down sort of 601 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: nature to that, Like it's like I don't need you 602 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: to tell me to drink water or whatever. There's that, 603 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: but it's also just like this idea that like I'm 604 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: going to cleanse your timeline with a photo of my dog. 605 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't come on Twitter to see a 606 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,719 Speaker 1: photo of your dog if I did have a separate 607 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: Twitter account of just dog photos, or I could just 608 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: google dog.

I'm sorry. Yeah, 630 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: You're tolerance for it is probably a lot higher because 631 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: you're a You're a millennial. Are you not a millennial? 632 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm wow, thank you that. It's really wonderful. If you 633 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: to say you think I'm a millennial, that's incredible. Millennials 634 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: now are like people will be like, I'm fifty and 635 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm a millennial. That person is not a millennial. Fifty 636 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: year olds are not. There are psychos out there. They're like, 637 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm actually like an elder millennial, Like, no, you're just 638 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: not Imber the other one. I'm a member of the 639 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: Greatest Generation, also known as Janet jene X. The greatest generation, 640 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: I believe is like my grandfather's generation. But I'm like 641 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: taking that because I think gen X has just not 642 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: gotten the credit it deserves. Although there's some horrible gen 643 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: extras too, So it's really, like you said, all these 644 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: generations are made up for marketing purposes, so it's really 645 00:33:47,240 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: not worth discussing. Getting back really quickly to the thing 646 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: you said about when you were a hater to the 647 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: person who was telling people to drink water, it is 648 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: interesting how quickly we can go on the Internet from 649 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 1: your relatively innocuous statement, which like you did you actually 650 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: even tweet to the person, Like did you retweet them 651 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: or something? No, it wasn't really about one specific tweet 652 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: rights an idea. It was just sort of like this tone. 653 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: But I think what I was, what I was saying 654 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: was that, like, you know, the thing that kind of 655 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: stuck with me is that, you know, this person who 656 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 1: agreed with the people who were mad at me, but 657 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: also like could see my point of view, like they 658 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: were sticking up for me in a way, but they 659 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: were also like, you know, she worded it clumsily, and 660 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: I was like, damn, okay, maybe I did word that clumsily. 661 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 1: But then when I apologize, I was like, thank you 662 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,479 Speaker 1: for saying that. I really didn't mean it that way. 663 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: Then I got even more hate from like people who 664 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: were like, of course she's using her own disability in 665 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: order to likeelf from ablesm accusation. But here's the thing, 666 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: like what you said, I mean, I don't know how 667 00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: you worded it, but it doesn't sound to me like 668 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: it could have been targeting people with disabilities. Was it 669 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: targeting people with disabilities? Where you like, no, it was 670 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: about this certain tone that used on Twitter where it's 671 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: like it's literally the same tone as like cleansing your 672 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: timeline with a picture of a dog, Like it's just 673 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: it's a condescending. It's a condescending tone. It's condescending, it's infantilizing, 674 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 1: and it's also presumptuous. And here you are doubling down 675 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: on your cancelable statement. But here's the thing that I 676 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: find so fascinating, which is like, there's always well, I 677 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: will describe them as a Debbi downer. Laura and I 678 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: talked about this all the time. There's always someone like, 679 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: no matter what the news is, no matter what the 680 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: tweet is. Like I say this like a lot about 681 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 1: Like it's like the person who's like complains about needing 682 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: a new wallet after finding out they hit the lottery 683 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: or whatever. It's sort of on the spectrum of that 684 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 1: sense of it's like you could say anything, you like, 685 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: it's my birthday, and then somebody like you know ten 686 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: replies down and be like some of us don't have 687 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: birthdays or whatever. You don't like You're like, I don't like. 688 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how to address that, but it is 689 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: weird to me. And I think probably one of the 690 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: greatest signs that Twitter should have never been invented and 691 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: should be destroyed that you can think something and then 692 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: you tweet it, because that's how it works, right, you go, 693 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: I have this thought and then you put it out 694 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: into the world, and then immediately another person can think 695 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: something and tweet it back to you. The way you 696 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: describe the situation that spiraled into like we have to 697 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: cancel Rebecca Jenny, like right, like it spiraled into a 698 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: cancelation situation for you basically where like a mob of 699 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: people were like really mad at you for being ablest 700 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 1: I think is what I'm hearing, which is definitely not 701 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: the initial intention. And I'm not trying to be like 702 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: I'm not like Joe Rogan or anything like, I'm not 703 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: trying to be like cancel culture. I'm just seeing it's 704 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: sucking insane that that we can have an exchange like that, 705 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure that that's healthy. Like you must 706 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: see this all the time. It's I mean, I'm surprised 707 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: that you seem as healthy as you seem, because, like 708 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: you said, like it's kind of rough out there. But 709 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 1: do you ever think like I gotta get out of this, 710 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,320 Speaker 1: like I gotta stop first, Um No, I don't. I 711 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: What I see, honestly is the beauty and the breadth 712 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,399 Speaker 1: of the human experience. I'm genuinely serious, like No, that's 713 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,359 Speaker 1: like I like, I feel like half the time what's 714 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: weird is like seeing all of TikTok try to shunt 715 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,919 Speaker 1: themselves into one or more like very specific categories, whether 716 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 1: it's like a self diagnosis or just like a label 717 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: of some kind, and then the rest of the Internet 718 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,720 Speaker 1: is just like showing me how how vast the human 719 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: experience really is. And so I think I'd like to 720 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 1: exist at a happy medium between those two things. Wow. 721 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean I had to tell you I had like 722 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: a lot of other questions. We're not going to get 723 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: to all of them, and in fact, like maybe we 724 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: should just end with therapies. I know now I want 725 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: to know the other questions. Oh my god, Well, I 726 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: mean they were all you know, No, we I want 727 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: you had to tweet about I want to talk about 728 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: bootcut jeans is what? Or bootcut pants is what. I 729 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 1: feel like you tweeted about bootcut? Did you not tweet 730 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: about I was just looking through Twitter and I was 731 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: thinking about how much I hate bootcut anything, and I 732 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: think you were like, you're into bootcut or whatever and 733 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: more than anything where it was me. Maybe you retweeted 734 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 1: somebody who was saying about bootcut bootut pants. When was this? 735 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just make that up, I think so. 736 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to you think you have low rise jeans? Oh, 737 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: low rise that's what it was. Yes, yeah, No, low 738 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: rise jeans are back, That's what it was. Low rise 739 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: jeans are ones that are very very low below the waist. 740 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: Is that the idea? Yeah? Also horrible? Also horrible for 741 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,399 Speaker 1: for people generally speaking? Okay, how do you feel about 742 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 1: boot cut jeans? In that case? Since we're on the topic, UM, 743 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: I pretty much only wear either like wide leg or 744 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: like kind of many flares. Um, many flares. That's like 745 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: a kind of a boot cut, like a crop flare. 746 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: What is a crop flare? It's like one that hits 747 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: just above your ankle bone and like flares out a 748 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: little bit. Is this making the second time I brought 749 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: this up recently? I'm very upset about the rise of 750 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 1: any boot cut stuff coming back into fashion. Crop flare 751 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: so wrong about boot cut. I feel like that's a 752 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: timeless style. I don't know, I don't know. I actually 753 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,359 Speaker 1: the reason I asked about your your fashion blog, which 754 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: you didn't want to talk about an issue, you can 755 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: talk about it. I'd love to promo it. No, because 756 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: you have a Yeah, because you have an article which 757 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: is everybody's dressing like me? Yeah. And I noticed that 758 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: you have a picture of yourself which is a Getty 759 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: photo from two thousand eleven, and it's some kind of 760 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 1: fashion event and you're wearing a hat, which is a 761 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: very strong Do you wear hats a lot? I am 762 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,479 Speaker 1: a hat person? You have perhaps every day in the 763 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: fall slash winter. Not everybody's a hat person, And it 764 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: is a bold and strong statement to be a hat person. 765 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: I just want to at person and a banks person, 766 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: which as a lady, that makes me almost a unicorn. 767 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: But like, isn't that Like then you can when you 768 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: have a when you decide to have a a huge 769 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: shift in your in your fashion situation, you can just 770 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 1: cut your bangs and stop wearing hats, and then it's 771 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: a whole new world for you. Well, the thing is, 772 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: I do not ever shift my fashion. I've dressed the 773 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: same way for the last decade plus. So do you 774 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: have photographic evidence of that? Could you produce, for instance, 775 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,959 Speaker 1: a decade of photos of you dressing exactly the same? Yes? Okay, great, 776 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: I'd like to you should blog about that. What was 777 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: the trend that people are dressing like you what is that? 778 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: What do you call that? So basically, like every time 779 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: colder weather comes around, and then in the Northeast, I 780 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 1: always forget that this was like not relatable for people 781 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: that don't live in this one specific area. So I'm sorry, 782 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: but this is You're gonna get canceled for this because 783 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: you're so like Vermont centric or New York Australian seasonal 784 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: time so offensive. Basically, every time like the fall comes around, 785 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: people start wearing sort of like back to school clothes. 786 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: And my kind of uniform for you know, since I 787 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: was in college maybe a little bit before, has always 788 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: been you know, tights, miniskirt, turtleneck, beret for or we'll 789 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: coach little little loafers. I've wren that, you know, since 790 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: I was nineteen, and I wear it now at thirty. 791 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: Is this like an Emily in Paris outfit? I've seen 792 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: maybe one episode of Emily in Paris, but I feel 793 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: like she would dress more interesting than that. I've never 794 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 1: watched the show, so I don't know. It just feels 795 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,919 Speaker 1: right to me to say that, Well, sure, like the beret, yeah, 796 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: but like I'm not saying that my style is unique 797 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: at all, and I in fact say it's quite basic, 798 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: but it's every girl dresses this way once this first 799 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:40,760 Speaker 1: like October early November wave of fall dressing comes around, 800 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: and especially this year. Um and and you know, like 801 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 1: that's kind of how trends work. They go in and 802 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: out and that's totally fine. The best way to be, 803 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: I would argue, is to just kind of have a 804 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: style that you really love and works for you, regardless 805 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: of what's trendy at the time. And you can kind 806 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 1: of add elements of the trendiness if you want and 807 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: take away what you don't want. But yeah, in general, 808 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,440 Speaker 1: that's kind of how I dress. But every fall it's 809 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: sort of this kind of thing again, So I just 810 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: I wrote about what that's like. Well, I have to say, 811 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: I think admitting that you dress in a basic way 812 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 1: is is bold and powerful. Okay. I did have one 813 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 1: thing that I wanted to ask about, which we sort 814 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: of touched on here and there. But and then and 815 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 1: then you got to go because it's getting close to 816 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: bar time for you, although it's obviously bar time at 817 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: home right now. Um. Not judgment, not judgment, more like 818 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: jealousy than anything to be honest with you, just me 819 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: desperate to have an alcoholic beverage. Um, this is kind 820 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 1: of a blanket, large question, and I hope that I 821 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: hope that it doesn't trouble you too much to answer 822 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: it even a little bit. Do you believe and I'm 823 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 1: only I'm only asking this because it's sort of wish 824 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 1: with thinking on my part. Do you believe that social 825 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: media could be dying? Um? No, I don't really. You 826 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,320 Speaker 1: don't think that we're about to see the end of 827 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: social media as we know it. Maybe as we know it, 828 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: but I don't think that like being social on the 829 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 1: Internet is going to die ever, because that's kind of 830 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: what we're talking about. It's like, I think the formats 831 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: might change, for sure. I think, you know, the hegemony 832 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, which is the same, TikTok whatever, 833 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,479 Speaker 1: YouTube could be totally challenged by god knows what, but 834 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: I think they will. There will always be, you know, 835 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 1: people conversing and being weird on the Internet, and I 836 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 1: think that's great. It's a beautiful answer, actually very optimistic. 837 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm sort of personally hoping that the social media dies 838 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,440 Speaker 1: because it's I feel like it's very unhealthy for people. 839 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,759 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe maybe the future is like there's just 840 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,359 Speaker 1: be a really healthy social media platform. I think Taylor 841 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: and I talked about this. That's totally a possibility, you know. 842 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: I think the problem is that most of these platforms 843 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: are extremely, extremely huge and unwieldy, and you know, my 844 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: number one philosophy of the Internet is that like, once 845 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: you get a certain number of people in the same room, 846 00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,279 Speaker 1: it's just going to be Lord of the flies, and 847 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: like that's just what's gonna happen. So you have, like, 848 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 1: if you're going to be you know, a good social 849 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: media platform, you have to find ways to prevent that 850 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 1: from happening. And you know, no one's found a perfect answer, 851 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: right right, Okay, really we'll ask question final question, Are 852 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: you being real or no? Yeah, I'm gonna be real. 853 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 1: I think it's really fun you do. And it's like 854 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,839 Speaker 1: I have, like, you know, twenty friends on there, but 855 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: it's fun. I've resisted. I I don't know. I it's like, 856 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, you got to manage another thing. It's 857 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: like take a picture, doesn't it feel like the pressure 858 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,280 Speaker 1: is so it's actually like it's it's such a funny 859 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: thing because like the people who are on it like 860 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: if you're with someone who's also on be Real and 861 00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: you get the notification, you're like, oh my god, we 862 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: can just take a little picture. It's it's honestly not 863 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: a burden. It's more of just like if you're in 864 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 1: the mood to do it and you get the notification 865 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: to it, and you can see what other people are 866 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 1: up to do and then react to them. It's silly. 867 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 1: It's fun. I feel like, might be real would be 868 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: just be me in the same room every day, is it. 869 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,439 Speaker 1: Do you have anybody who's like that, Oh my god, 870 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 1: that's so many people. But honestly, like you just don't 871 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 1: have to take one every day, you know, Like if 872 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, if it hits me at like two pm 873 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: on a Wednesday and I'm saying up on my computer 874 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,360 Speaker 1: and my cat is not you know, in the immediate facility, 875 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: I just won't take one. And that's fine. Is anybody 876 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: that you know monetizing there be real presence? No? Be real? 877 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: It's like you have to be mutual is in order 878 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: to see content at all? So yeah, okay, all right, 879 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: you've possibly convinced I should begin my journey of being real. 880 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 1: It's only good if you have other people that you 881 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: know in real life who are on it. Otherwise, who cares? 882 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,479 Speaker 1: I don't know anybody in real life. That's some done. 883 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't do that anymore. I don't have those kinds 884 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 1: of connections, So unfortunately for me, I will not be 885 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: real I guess maybe that's why you find social media 886 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 1: so depressing. I don't know. Maybe we're back at This 887 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 1: was absolutely fascinating and so interesting.
