Starting point is 00:01:32 need to make sure that he was he was he was thinking about our pack when picking his fantasy because you know that might be where he didn't realize that
Starting point is 00:01:40 when we win we all win right so I think he and I actually initially came up with it when we were in Palm Springs
Starting point is 00:01:47 and we were buying lottery tickets yeah and he was like Megan's stressed out about this you're like oh I know we'll just take care of her and he goes okay good you take
Starting point is 00:01:53 yeah we got in there he's like perfect she'll take care of you I'll take we'll take it We just make sure everybody's taken care of and that's what we do. Well, welcome to What Am I Wrong? This is a podcast where we tell other people when they have been wrong.
Starting point is 00:02:06 There are three segments to the show. We will explain each one before we get into it. But what you need to know is that you get to participate in not just submitting things, but also voting on who you think was wrong in each part of this episode. So over on our Instagram stories, we will post highlights for each specific episode with a poll and you can vote who you thought was wrong. I thought this person was wrong. I thought this one was wrong and then you can also just write in with why you wrote the way
Starting point is 00:02:31 you did your thoughts and feelings and then we read the results of those on our see you next Tuesday episode and it's a grand old time and sometimes you can have people who have written in writing it again like giving an update like answering a question or just you know responding to what we have said and then also sometimes we have updates in in the stories have progressed i love it i love following along in a narrative that i don't have to be directly involved in i'm addicted to other people's drama i need to hear more about the the uh cell phone saga cell phone store saga i hope you're still listening and we did go a little hard not as hard as you did though well listen don't say that they did go hard i know i don't like
Starting point is 00:03:18 fucking i know hard no no and they shouldn't have been they shouldn't have been fucking soft they should hey this is a time where i'm like actually bring back the puritanical um if you're new because you were like oh my gosh apple picked them apple said they were news and noteworthy um she can speak i can speak but also i think i gave you a little taste of what we're about we are it's horny up in here so um yeah i'm megan i'm melissa and if you want to watch this episode we're also on patreon okay so our first segment is but am i wrong where we pitch something that's either happened in our lives or a hot take a rant to the other and the audience and find out if we're wrong i'm up first
Starting point is 00:04:11 and i do think that this is going to be an incredibly hot take i hope that for people who like initially are like whoa no hear me out okay because and also listen to all the words i'm saying because like there's qualifiers in this okay this is not like the biggest broadest all inclusive statement and this is a a hot topic on tiktok right now so don't assume what i'm going to say okay listen to what i'm saying i'm buckled in ready to take flight i think it is fucking weird and uncalled for when thin people have massive issues with how plus size bigger overweight creators handle their platform when it is in regards to their weight i think it's fucking weird so remy bader is a tiktoker who i i don't love because she's friends with the the the bigots
Starting point is 00:05:12 the racist the islamophobic like the girls from the toast like i don't know who she is so yeah like who is she she so she makes con had previously made content that blew up at the beginning of the pandemic of like realistic hauls and she would try them on and being like oh this says it's gonna like it doesn't and like she's like being funny and like making fun of the fact of like what the models are like free people like all these layers and she didn't do I don't think she did this series but her content was also very parallel to similar series people are doing of being like is it a fit or is she just skinny of being like these out these are ridiculous the only reason why you think this looks good is because she's thin and or this is when you make these in bigger sizes
Starting point is 00:05:54 they are not the ratio of the increase of size makes no fucking sense it's not going to fit onto a bigger body. You've just increased the wrong things the wrong way. And she has been adamant that she is not a body positivity creator. She's been adamant of being like, I am mentally not doing super well. I don't have a great relationship with my body. I'm not super happy with my body. I don't have body positivity. I would love to be at that point, but I don't. This is just the body that i have that i'm existing in and existing in a bigger body is political at this point like and again i have an issue with thin people doing this i do not it's not my fucking place to have an issue with plus size people or any identification fat people overweight people plus people who have
Starting point is 00:06:41 identified with her through her not just her content not people who think people like well i loved her content i'm mid-size i'm a medium that's not that's not what mid-size means but people who saw themselves in her content because you are quite literally also dealing with the same issues of buying from the same sizes all of that you can have whatever issues and whatever feelings you want to have that is totally fucking fine that is that is that is your call that is your fight but when thin people are like i don't like her anymore now that she lost weight i don't think she's funny anymore oh that's not the same thing as people who are like i don't love how she's gone about the representation since this.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I don't love that someone who is not positive in their body has now, and this I don't fault her for, but like she got high, like Victoria's Secret hired her to like expand sizes. People are like, this is a girl who is like outwardly said
Starting point is 00:07:31 she's not happy with her body. There are people her size and bigger who are happy with their bodies, who love their bodies. I think that should be a body positive role model, but people kept pushing this body positivity role model thing on her. And she's clearly said that that's not her.
Starting point is 00:07:46 And so therefore she she got weight loss surgery. And a lot of people felt very let down because she was supposed to be this body positive influencer. And the people who I'm seeing say this are thin people. And so that seems like it that they were laughing at her before. That's my issue with it. And that and it's just the fact of like regurgitating the same talking points when you are not someone who you were not being represented by her you might be like well I have body dysmorphia I felt
Starting point is 00:08:18 like like that's not it is fundamentally not the same thing so like if people are like I don't love how she didn't really fight for inclusion in sizing and now has you know lost all of this weight has jumped ship from this and then has kind of abandoned this and she was kind of that pillar I without a doubt do think she bears a bit of that responsibility I also think like I am not surprised that Victoria's Secret, a company who's like transphobic and fat phobic and right and just fucking horrible, picked someone to lead their like body positivity who's outwardly said they're not body positive. Like there wasn't it was going to end at some point. Like she was not she was not happy in her body. She wanted to change that. And that's her right and her prerogative.
Starting point is 00:08:59 But I do think brands who align themselves with someone who is like that, it does feel temporary. And I would be more annoyed with the brands for being like, why? This is not this is not a long-lasting partnership with someone who this is what they stand by and i also don't like in general when thin people and it happens a fuck ton when thin people view people in bigger bodies as inherently body positive unless someone has made it their platform to assume that feels very you're so brave like the fuck yeah and in the same it's like in the same vein but not but also people have been saying the same things to lizzo who did promote herself as being body positive but her thing is like being comfortable in the body that you're in i'm in a different body i'm
Starting point is 00:09:46 still comfortable in my body yeah and i think like the industry as a whole i think part of the issue is that they'll let there can be one bigger specifically women men are allowed to be big and fun but women no no you we're gonna have one bigger woman and then when that woman loses weight we're not going to get another one in here is bigger she's going to be she's just a smaller version of who she so that part i understand is frustrating because when there's so little representation knowing that it's not going to be continued on is fucking frustrating very frustrating and i can from the sidelines can hear plus as people say that and be like i i so see that i so stand with you but i as a thin person i'm not going to regurgitate the talking point
Starting point is 00:10:28 of being like i liked her content better before i think she was funnier before because it gives me the same thing as and here here you go having me defend a man but like josh peck who's has heard his whole career he was funnier when he was fat and like he very clearly has an eating disorder like and has and was also on drugs like he has had such an unhealthy relationship with his body and and all those things sense and like maintaining the way it's it is a constant thing he's thinking about like he does not have a healthy body image and so then to be like well I liked you that you can't fucking win at all and I think like for her the people who are being like well no I don't have issues with her I my issue is that like she she lied about it and she blocked people who were
Starting point is 00:11:16 saying what she had done and she was implying that she you know it was just like working out and I will say like I did a deep dive on her account last night and like you know I hope that there were not very young children following her she's like you know posting getting ready to go to a party like she's not making content catered to kids and i don't know anyone other than a child who would think that this weight had been lost naturally from like posting being in the gym one or two times i think that's also like really like narrow minds about what weight loss surgery is you have to work out you have to eat a certain one being like well she's posting eating like healthy feel like she has to that is her post-op recovery part and so then to view that as being like well
Starting point is 00:11:57 she misled me into thinking that she didn't i'm like i i truly have a really fucking hard time believing that you thought from this time period from this video to this video that she lost that weight naturally and then you're mad at her if she lost the weight naturally she would have been incredibly ill that's a massive amount of weight to lose very very very quickly and also you can eat healthy food and no matter what body yeah that still doesn't track no and then the same thing of like she posted a video eating a donut and people were like this feels misleading because like she had weight loss surgery I'm like people with weight loss surgery can eat a donut yes anyone can eat it yes like anyone can eat a donut and it's just like again my issue is this coming from
Starting point is 00:12:35 thin people because we do not have that shared experience of losing out on someone who was given opportunities to advocate for us in a room and she was not equipped to do that she should have never been given those jobs but now knowing that that job might be gone they might not be hiring someone else to do that that might be kind of gone and passed and she might not stand for advocating for expansive society all that anyone is allowed to feel abandoned by that thin people are not that is not that is like not our community not our fucking fight we can support from the sidelines but the content the content i've been seeing people make is real it's just like really fucking weird and it reminds me i saw a clip of nikki glaser on a late night show and she was talking
Starting point is 00:13:20 about she's like i am so happy for people doing ozempic like but i've and she's like i have to say though some of these skinny bitches are not because it's the only thing that they have is thinness and this self-righteousness and this way of being like well i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it the hard way but i'm like do you mean the hard way of an eating disorder like there are so many I'm like so fundamentally not against weight loss surgery at all like whatever you want to do whatever you need to do
Starting point is 00:13:47 but this idea that like the healthy way to do it is diet and exercise that's not a surefire healthy way at fucking all nope at fucking all and like we're getting
Starting point is 00:13:57 so much more information about I've said this from the beginning that like there's promising research coming out about Ozempic being really helpful for people with substance abuse disorders and relying on substances drugs, alcohol, all of that
Starting point is 00:14:10 That, like, these things are not cheats. There are, like, intense post-op instructions and things you have to follow in all of this. And if somebody wasn't ready to talk about it, especially someone who has been so insanely criticized for their weight nonstop, my thing is I have a really fucking hard time believing any of these skinny people
Starting point is 00:14:30 who have an issue with her being like, I don't like her content anymore. I'm going to bet you, you were also calling her fat. I'm like, and you were calling her fat, wanting that to hurt her. it gives the same vibes as like that post that went viral years ago of this woman that was at a track and saw a woman that was bigger than her running and it was like if she can do it i can do it too it's like you're looking at somebody being like we're not in the same body so like things are
Starting point is 00:15:01 easier for me and it's just yeah it just it makes me so icked out and like she she couldn't win and not being ready to talk about it you if you have issues that she went on Khloe Kardashian's podcast talk about it that's fine fine but like people being like oh my god she blocked people who are being like you definitely had this surgery by the way that's a weird fucking comment just to leave on someone's video that's not about their body that's not about them talking about like hey guess what work I've had done like it's just just because someone exists on the internet in a bigger body and like they acknowledge that because by the way you can't ignore your body on the internet you have to talk about it but if you don't talk about it other
Starting point is 00:15:44 people are like well I have to be able to bring it up because like I can see you but this whole thing of being like I wasn't being rude I was just saying you definitely had this surgery you also can definitely just not say anything and also tell me how that comment is so clear that you are body pot like you are body neutral body positive you are not fat like let me know how she's supposed to decode that between people who are leaving these other horrendous comments like if you want to say she's too sensitive for the internet okay sure but i think at this point like having this whole think piece being done about how she was funnier before also people didn't like her content before like it's just like you can't win just pick they just pick what they're
Starting point is 00:16:25 gonna be mad at today about a woman yeah and i and i think that like like there are things like you have presented things that that you should be mad about what talk about that you don't have to talk about somebody's body yes and you can also just like point blank not like the content yes I've never heard of this person I don't know anything about her and you know what nothing that you've told me wants me to follow her so therefore I won't follow her I don't even remember her name at this point yeah her content is not for me the vibe of the content at any size that she's produced is not for me there's so much stuff on the internet that you can find things that make you happy so why are you constantly looking at someone or having an opinion on someone that you
Starting point is 00:17:12 don't enjoy their content yeah and you know she's just like she's like has not dealt with a great mental health i think for an extended period of time i don't know if it's her whole life but like you know got dumped in the last year and like really was like going through it and whatever and like people who are like i'm so disappointed in you for like losing weight like this is just like succumb all of this i'm like disappointed but she was so deeply unhappy and had specifically said she was super deeply unhappy with her body. That wasn't whatever you view that as improving or changing. She is happier now. And it's her. And let's say that she was happy. That doesn't mean that she still doesn't have the right to change if she doesn't want to. Well, and it's
Starting point is 00:17:57 not that she's like she didn't the exact opposite of getting up on here and being like, I love my body. I wouldn't change a thing about my body. I am incredibly body positive. I never want to lose any weight I would like she never but when you assign that to someone who's a big like that's fucking weird to me when you just assume it is again giving like the same thing of the track like you're so brave like you're so brave but like this idea that you as a thin person felt represented by her it's not true that's not the same argument saying you didn't like her content now you don't like her content she's not funny anymore it's not fun to watch anymore that feels like the people who didn't like josh peck after he lost weight being like he's not funny anymore
Starting point is 00:18:39 and i'm like but those usually are the same people being like oh my god so unhealthy look at that he's gonna get diabetes and like because they were laughing at him yeah and she like talked about also getting the surgery she did get like i think they'd forget they'd do something with her liver because she had fatty lip like she's like was having health issues and like people were always like lose weight lose weight that'll help your health issues she does and then it's like you're mad and yeah there's just there's a creator i follow named alexis who's talked about like seldom but hasn't mentioned that she's gone weight loss surgery and she's like i'm very fucking selective about how i talk about it because like you bitches are really fucking weird
Starting point is 00:19:10 when someone talks about having weight loss surgery you hate fat people you want us to be thin but you hate when we take ozempic and you fucking hate when we have weight loss surgery but you also don't want to see us exercising like the fucking people who got mad about nike having a plus size yeah like mannequin i'm like what the fuck do you want right or when people are making fun of people in the gym for the same reason they're in the gym no like you just view fat people as below you and you need them you need something there because truthfully you feel like gutter fucking bottom because you're not happy you're projecting that on someone else yep and you have to make sure that they're unhappy whatever that means so whether that is
Starting point is 00:19:49 pointing thinking that they are too big thinking that they are you have to make sure that they are unhappy and they can't win and she faces so much fucking scrutiny for all of the wrong things scrutinize her for the right things that's probably because they have the same views yeah but then i'm like moral high ground yeah you bitches right okay fucking weird all right well we're gonna take a break when we get back we'll get into my but am i wrong you we're back and it's time for my bit of my room and mine is normalize talking shit on your workplace and the people you work with if you're in a position to do so
Starting point is 00:20:50 oh what's this rachel zegler oh my god addicted to this she has a new movie out called snow white i think that's the name of it is that the name of it yeah called snow white i didn't know if it had like you know the huntsman snow white and adult yeah there's a lot of variations yeah i didn't know if they had a extra something on it most people are saying that she's she is the star absolute star of this movie that like she carries and seen as gal gadot is one of the worst actresses it's i need to find out how this happened i don't know i think because i i think it's because wonder woman no she's perfect for one yes she's perfect for wonder woman because wonder woman is supposed to be the stoic very um tyra bank's life size
Starting point is 00:21:45 this is my first day on earth yes that type of energy and that works but it does not translate into anything else well i did think she was acting in that movie yes and i think a lot of people did yes but then once we got to the second one people are like you've been on earth for a little bit so you should have adapted yeah and no no no no again rachel is the star of this movie i mean she is a titular character but also they're just saying like her acting ability her singing all of it is phenomenal she's the zoe saldana familiar do not put that on her if you're not seeing people have directly compared that in the articles oh god yeah saying that she's the best thing about a horrible project okay well yeah i wouldn't make that comparison but it's hey someone one of those
Starting point is 00:22:36 male writers who writes yes but variety for some reason variety as in the trade slash magazine slash website they've come out with several articles criticizing her saying that she's awful and the reason why this movie has bombed was because of her. Why Variety? It seems a little fishy like someone has planted information. I'm not going to say anybody did,
Starting point is 00:23:04 but it just seems fishy to me where the biggest trade magazine is coming out and saying this information, but no one else agrees. Have you noticed it's come from the same writer? I have. Yeah. I have.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I have him. Have you noticed what else that writer's also been writing about? I didn't. Melissa Barrera. Ah. uh-huh seems like they have two things in common so rachel has spoken out against the atrocities that are happening in gaza and she is pro-palestine which her co-star is very
Starting point is 00:23:39 much the opposite because that is where she's quote-unquote from but i don't know how exactly from you can be i mean she she's not even just she served in the idea yeah i mean you have to though you know but i'm saying it's not that she has family who's from there that she is literally yeah again born and raised there but who's to say that's the actual home but yeah but anyway um her co-star is the complete opposite also when people have said that you know she needs to take things there's also a rumor i don't know if it's true or not it's been reported it's reported that dear evan hansen's dad who also produces this movie yes but it's been reported that he got on a plane to go directly to rachel and say you need to take
Starting point is 00:24:34 down your post his son oh responded so dear evan hansen nope the other one oh i didn't know there was i didn't know there was another second okay dear richard hansen i don't know whatever his name is um he got on there and uh he did respond to a comment and said my father had to leave his children his family and i thought he has a second family no he was referring to his fully grown self and his fully grown brother who is also married okay he did have to leave the family home where do they all live like the brady bunch like i was like why are you making it sound like maybe they have just a big area of land but he making it sound like that he had to he had to flee the nest yes and abandon the babies who could not fend for themselves right and by babies i did mean
Starting point is 00:25:18 fully grown men who have graduated college who are married yes uh-huh okay so he confirmed it which is the craziest thing to me of all of this that i was like damn your your dad couldn't have gotten that pr person that they tried to push on push on rachel for you oh he deleted the comment everyone screenshot it jonah platt he's 38 years old he called her a narcissist he said you really want to do this yeah my dad the producer of an enormous piece of disney ip with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line had to leave his family to fly across the country to reprimand his 20 year old employee for dragging her personal politics into the middle of promoting the movie for which she signed a multi-million dollar contract to get paid for and do publicity for
Starting point is 00:25:56 okay this is called adult responsibility and accountability her actions clearly hurt the film's box box office free speech does not mean you're allowed to say whatever you want in your private employment without repercussions tens of thousands of people worked on that film and she hijack the conversation for her own immature desires and the risk of all the colleagues and crew and blue-collar workers who depend on the movie to be successful. That is not fucking true. No, it's not. Nothing about that. Above the line are the only
Starting point is 00:26:17 fucking people who make any points on that. Blue-collar workers don't make money when the film is successful. And they're already on to the next project. They're on to this. They've had like 10 projects in between. Yeah. And he said, narcissism is not something to be coddled or encouraged, which is hilarious because Gal Gadot has
Starting point is 00:26:32 non-stop talked about her specific politics. non-stop very pro-genocide in this at the same time yeah so why aren't we like they're really trying to place all the blame on rachel when no like maybe you should look at if if people i mean i believe that the stars of wicked have spoken so i've heard miss i've heard like conflicting things and i don't remember exactly but there was also another post came out of people being like it's also been rumored that the lack of like stuff coming out from the wicked cast or like not like really gung-ho heart has been heavily encouraged by production i don't know i don't
Starting point is 00:27:21 remember if they ever signed anything or didn't so like i don't know if it was like they didn't sign artists for ceasefire but they also didn't sign the joe biden please keep bombing please don't ceasefire the the weird alternative one could have sworn that ariana said something but i i don't know if it's just that she didn't align herself with one but then also didn't align with the other or like i hasn't said something but then signs up like i don't remember but there there's another thing coming about like saying that they discouraged with the cast of wicked from doing xyz or whatever i don't know if any of that's true but also this but also doesn't help that some a lot of people are british yeah but i i swear ariana said something the one i
Starting point is 00:28:02 would have been most likely yes and wicked did excellent in the box office well yeah because you have cynthia and ariana but my point with all that is that wicked didn't bomb so like why are you placing all the blame on her now post everything when one this movie has been in the works for fucking years people also weren't excited before it came out yeah no but who who was like snow white is my favorite disney princess no and apparently the cgi is creepy yeah like it looks weird also she the way that they're positioning it i know that she looked she's small she looks very young but it looks super creepy with it looks really weird they should have got somebody that looks closer to her age but no no one's like let me go see the other
Starting point is 00:28:52 snow white movies didn't do well either like there's never been more remakes than fucking snow white and i big statement i don't think anybody's favorite disney movie snow white that's what i'm saying it it may be like the oldest one that exists i believe is she's the oldest princess and yes she did save disney at that time but no one's like let me go see snow white also these other movies have not these other remakes with the disney movies have not none of them have done well I think Maleficent did the best and tonally fully different but also Maleficent is not well in box office
Starting point is 00:29:25 Maleficent is it did do well in box office but Maleficent is not the retelling of some story that we've seen before Maleficent is a different take and I've always said that when they redo movies it should be a different take maybe it should have
Starting point is 00:29:42 just been based on the queen and get the one of the two women that play at Disneyland and Disney World to play her because they have range both those the the evil stepmother i don't evil queen is her name they have range get one of them to play and you know what people probably would have showed up make it a comedy people would have showed up to see that but nobody wants to see the retelling of this boring ass movie and also they set her up for failure from the beginning because they were not defending her when people were like
Starting point is 00:30:16 well she's latino so she shouldn't be playing snow white when she is also half white she looks like snow white and if you look at the full description of what snow white is in the original grim people it's not talking about her skin color when they're calling her snow white it's talking about how your heart right yes of her purity and it has nothing to do and even then rachel is her skin is white yeah yeah it is crazy and also like people are like well I didn't like
Starting point is 00:30:49 that she said it was like you know it wasn't gonna be just like the girl in the prince every bitch has said that in every fucking Disney princess fucking remake ever
Starting point is 00:30:58 everybody has said that yeah Emma Watson said that she did not get as much shit people were like I love the Beauty and the Beast remake okay okay Emma Watson French
Starting point is 00:31:07 because that's what Belle is yeah she said she said all the same shit that Rachel did and also Rachel said that shit and after they said actually i think you're not white enough to play this and she said you know what we're really we're changing things up and people are like oh so you hate the classics and it was
Starting point is 00:31:23 like you literally told her she was not right to play this role because she wasn't white enough and then she said this role has chipped it adjusted we've modernized it you know it's it's going to be different she's going to have different motive different things in this and then they were like no i just wanted you to did you just want her recast with someone whiter like that's what they want that's what they always want always always always so they're just always looking for another reason to pin it on the lead when somebody when something fails and not pointing it at maybe marketing maybe the script maybe production maybe people clamoring to want to even see this maybe the fact that people have been talking shit about this since it was day one like
Starting point is 00:32:03 fucking production uh-huh maybe you should have scrapped it you had the time to scrap it would attacked right off i would like to add ariana grande did she has like liked and reshared jake jewish voices for peace and like things about palestine specifically yeah so you're right i don't want to make sure i speak out of turn for her i will say i've seen a lot of comments from people being like oh no they're going to like blacklist rachel rachel's like look this is horrible i want to stress so badly not that blacklisting is not real but you as an audience can do something about that you do not have to just like accept that you can seek all of her content out if she does an interview you can those numbers are undeniable yes if you can achieve that
Starting point is 00:32:42 and the same thing with melissa barrera i have seen like the horror community like show the fuck up for her that you can make someone it is the internet you can make someone uncancellable you can make someone in the sense take that same thing if someone just keeps fucking coming back and coming back how do they keep coming back the audience if the audience is still there don't let it being like well she's not past anything it's fine make sure you're following her on instagram swipe up on her stories like things reply engage to things that she's posting her youtube channel make it so like they literally will boil down actors everybody to the numbers of their stats of what their draw is and make sure that you don't stop paying attention to her
Starting point is 00:33:17 and you you seek her out not just the stuff that's put on your fucking feed because like they will they will keep hiring her because the other day they care most about the money that they will make yep and but they all what they want to do now is make you hate her so you stop supporting her so the people signing the checks will be like we're not going to cast her because it is a it's a it's a it's a team vote and if you have enough people being like undeniably they are going to bring in a fuck ton of money for this your vote of saying not you but like mark platt's vote of saying i don't want her there if she has the most draw the most reach is the right is right for the character the director's vouching for all of that stuff he will be overruled and she will be
Starting point is 00:33:58 cast in x y and z yep so i just love that like this is the power when your first movie is a spielberg movie and you're like fuck it i'm still gonna fucking say it also i'm pissed like even i know everything she's doing it's getting because fucking men fucking man yeah men are men are ruining that experience so in case you didn't know her first big movie was um west side story yeah and the fucking man i don't even want to say his name but the fucking man that is her lead in that yeah he was abusive and therefore people didn't go see i mean it was also during covet too but like people didn't see that movie bombed because a lot of people were boycotting because of him and i just feel like she deserves more yeah and i have to say i'm so i wish this wasn't
Starting point is 00:34:50 happening to her but it's happening to her at the best point of her career because the tenacity and the bounce back you have at that age when you first start off and how like she's got the balls to do she's got the she's got the tits to do it she's got the like i'm gonna fucking yes and and and she is standing on business believing in what she believes in and that's gonna take her far yeah so just support her um and i think she's like yeah i just think she's she's incredibly fucking talented incredibly talented and I think she is uncancellable and she knows that because she I she knows she knows her worth and like even like Trisha Paytas had like talked and been like she didn't like what she said about the Snow White thing and like didn't like her or whatever and
Starting point is 00:35:32 then like after all Trisha was like I think I'm just really jealous of her and like I used to watch her stuff on YouTube and I was a big fan of her when she was just like posting covers on YouTube and then when she you know booked West Side Story I was so excited and I like really loved her and then i don't know i just think i got really jealous of how quickly her career rose and she goes and like i'm just like really sorry rachel rachel fucking commented on the video and was like thank you so much for this trisha i forgive you and then trisha did her live new york show and rachel did it with her yeah that's incredible so like the thing is is like the right people who she's supposed to work with they're going to cast her in things because
Starting point is 00:36:05 they know that she is a star yeah and so i can't wait for her to be connected with the right people and then we can all show up to the box office and support her in the way that she needs to be done. But in the meantime, do what Megan said and follow her, like her comments, repost because those numbers do matter. Yeah. And it's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:36:26 You can, the same thing that you do with a boycott where it's like, don't support things, even hate watching that like falsely give people the sense of, oh, these people should keep working. But then you can do that on the opposite of, instead of boycotting, you can visually show your support not just passively engage with that content yeah but yeah i love her and voice of a fucking angel she's an angel yeah all right we're gonna take another
Starting point is 00:36:52 break when we get back we'll get into but are you wrong we're back from the break and it's time to get into our next segment which is but are you wrong and this is where you submit your predicament that you have found yourself in your your thought spiral am i in the wrong you tell us the situation and we let you know so you'll be 18 or over have your parents permission and just let us know how old you are it is all anonymous tell us the story 300 words to but am i wrong pod at gmail.com or send it to our dms we have a form for this one too don't we we sure do that's on our instagram too yes and make sure that you are submitting to the right show so you have asking for advice use only the don't blame me form if you want to know
Starting point is 00:37:56 if you're wrong only but am i wrong and just know if you're gonna come with fake names put some thought into it our audience went google gaga over the um ninja turtles crossover powerpuff girls but sometimes people do things that they don't think it through as well and we do wonder if we're supposed to be reading into this why are monica and ross dating yes yes yes those are siblings and your friend phoebe okay yeah this is incest so first up i fear my best friend married a Trump supporter. Kelly, 28 she her, and I, 30 she her, have been best friends for the past eight years. She has always been such a kind, fun-loving, genuine person. We've always been on the same page and have the same political beliefs. She was the most understanding, non-judgmental friend I could
Starting point is 00:38:42 go to for anything. Kelly met Rick on a dating app last January. They got engaged in June and got married in December of 2024. I live about two hours away from Kelly, so I only met Rick a handful of times before they got married. My first impression of Rick was that he was very reserved and hard to talk to. I couldn't shake this weird feeling that I had about him. Kelly seemed so happy and so excited about their relationship, so I brushed it off and decided to support her. I started to notice how he would react when we brought up politics and how much we hate Trump. He seemed annoyed but never actually said anything. The biggest red flag was when I saw them tagged in family photos by his mom. Rick and his dad were wearing Blue Lives Matter hats.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I brought this up to Kelly and she shamefully admitted that he voted for Trump and that he does whatever his parents tell him to do she feels confident that she can change his mind and she loves him so much that she can't imagine a life without him i told her that i couldn't be around someone who supports all the things i am against we haven't talked in three months i feel like she's completely changed and compromised her beliefs for this guy am i wrong for ending a friendship over her husband's political views no no and you're also not wrong in the fact that she did completely change herself and compromise her beliefs for a guy yeah and why would you think you can change somebody after you marry marriage what's the leverage you should never go into a
Starting point is 00:39:57 relationship trying to change anyone to begin with but now you're married he got the cookie give me cookie gave you cookie like right and the cookie in this case is your political affiliate like what's the incentive for him now that we're married and we're legally and our debts are legally bound together i'm gonna convince him i'm sorry but kelly is dumb and you're better off without her yeah i wonder how much that you have felt how much of her she's co-signed your belief system and been like yeah totally i agree with you and so you felt that she actually meant yeah totally i agree with you sometimes those people will then be in a room with someone else with the exact opposite place yeah totally i agree with you it might not have come from her yeah
Starting point is 00:40:39 because as someone who also has very strongly held political beliefs i wouldn't even go on a date was i would find out before the date and then i would if i couldn't if i was misled i'd find it on the date right even before i go on the date i mean if i'm on a fucking dating web a dating app and no they don't even have their political views they're listed or it says not political not for me moderate nope i'm out but like if they have lied to me and been like yeah no i'm liberal i'm still gonna or if they say that they're liberal i'm still gonna bring it up on the first day even if they say that we are the same belief system we're still alive i'm gonna bring it up i'm gonna read your face i'm gonna figure this out but like if it was actually
Starting point is 00:41:23 important to her this would have never gotten to the point where she's like well i love him you shouldn't no love him yet then no like there's no this needed to have happened way earlier so i don't think that she held these beliefs nope that same way there's no dick strong enough to change your political beliefs in this way also met in january engaged in june she didn't even know him no and to me with a little bit of disrespect it smells desperate like and that to me is like there's no shot that you're going to i don't think it matter about who the guy was no i can't i can't love a republican no no i don't like no in this day and age no i couldn't even get married to someone who i loved and was aligned with politically in like less than six what six
Starting point is 00:42:15 months ish and you're 28 five months no no why are you proposing me within five months and we're only 28 if we're in our 30s and we know each like we were really i'm 28 you proposed me in five months why are you posing what's wrong with you why are you proposing to me like what do you have why are you trying to get me do you have debt do you need me to help pay it like right you just can't know enough about someone because you also don't know enough about yourself at that age no you're not wrong also he they were together fully almost a year and he voted for trump in november so like she had 11 months to change his mind within that period but also she was in the i would never take a photo with someone in a blue lives matter no even if they were like it was a
Starting point is 00:42:59 a friend of a friend of a friend of a cousin there i'm i'm i don't want to be in that no i'm not no so like she's i think she's far more okay with this than you probably realize all right next one hey guys i'm 25 she her i work in a senior living facility that is literally all white residents just so happens that it's in a predominantly white town and super expensive like over 10k a month expensive anyway i'm black and every time i wear my hair different they all comment on it the entire day for example i never wear my hair out and when i do it's like all eyes on me and it's constantly pointed out lots of we literally read this before and i made melissa do it in an old voice and you have to do it again because it's important to the story every time
Starting point is 00:43:49 i see her hair it's different oh honey oh sweetheart i don't know why it annoys me so much because i don't like being perceived and it feels racially motivated not necessarily rude but annoying am i wrong or too sensitive about it this is a microaggression it's you're not wrong i'm surprised they're like oh i didn't recognize you when my face literally looks the exact same like they know what they're doing they want to point you out and other you and that's what they're doing yeah i as someone who had a grandmother who you know as her health declined she had lewy body dementia the you know i think setting strong boundaries for like what you're not comfortable with i don't know what the level of care this place gives but there are sometimes
Starting point is 00:44:44 in these facilities they ask people to be fine with horrific things that people say and this is with is your without a doubt a microaggression that depending on the state of these people can lead very rapidly to macro macroaggressions i feel like because of the price and you saying that it is a senior living facility and not like a nursing home that this is just old rich people living there a difference yeah because there's the like just like old people communities where like they're like i don't want to live in a house by myself but we'll i'll go live in this community where i basically have like a condo oh that makes sense okay i don't know there's a difference i feel like because yeah these are just rich old white people who are know what they're doing and
Starting point is 00:45:31 they're being yeah mean no without a doubt yeah i just meant like if you have a boss or a superior or yeah like making sure to tell them being like hey i'm not comfortable with this i need to switch rotations with this person x y and z because if it is anything involving cognitive decline um i watched someone who i love become a i don't want to say become because it was that was not who not i had never heard her say anything like that before but like i heard her say horrible things and that in terms of like you know sometimes with caretake they're like this is just a part of it and it you should not have to subject yourself to that so making sure if it is something like that setting the boundary now with your boss so it's not like well you know you've been working with
Starting point is 00:46:14 them for so long and it's like hey this is this is not a cognitive shift this is who they are yeah and it's probably only going to if it is going to get fucking worse and it should never be a part of your job or like well that's just that's just what you deal with like i don't care that like for a lot of people with all time and you know i can't say the word all alzheimer's alzheimer's that they can say become like horribly mean aggressive racist people then i do need you to hire white people to work with them and so it's like well you work you you work in like an elder care for nope nope you don't have to accept this nope nope nope nope nope nope nope this is not like an aspect of this no because by the way black people also get old yep so they should have
Starting point is 00:47:02 somebody because i don't think this is a nursing home situation they should have somebody come in that does i know di is getting taken out of so many places but like somebody that comes in and does a speech about you know this is what you're doing this is a microaggression and you need to stop that shit and it shouldn't come from you you should tell a supervisor but you shouldn't be the one that's doing unpaid labor to teach them no no not at all it needs to be somebody that is getting paid to come in and and tell them shut the fuck up yeah and make sure that they do not just a one time like one of that and if they make it weird then they need to switch the rotation of whatever or they if this is just a place where people are living they need to kick them out yeah no this is
Starting point is 00:47:51 just this is not a part of the fucking deal yeah no not at all all right we're gonna take another break and we get back we'll get into but are they wrong we are back it's time for but are they wrong but are they wrong is where we nominate a person place or thing something in current events pop culture zeitgeist that we think deserves a public toss of tomatoes and mine is a little less newsworthy it's a little bit more of um a complaint and a rant that i have and i would like to nominate bachelor in paradise melissa i don't know anything that's going on i honestly forgot about the bachelor franchise as a whole i hope to god by the time that this comes out that they have changed this because i literally was like is it i thought
Starting point is 00:49:03 it was april fools when i saw this i was like this can't be fucking real so they skipped they're skipping the season of the bachelorette because they're like unfortunately every time we do the they didn't say that this is the truth unfortunately every time we do the bachelorette we just keep having abusive men and racists on the show and despite our thorough background checks that reveal all of that we do cast them anyways and then they end up being horrible to these women and then all of these people message us and talk about how they were assaulted by this person and this person is super horrible and racist and then you know we're traumatizing the leads and i think it's just a lot more fun when we just let's just have it be about the men like we're
Starting point is 00:49:42 just gonna do the bachelor so they skipped the bachelorette and this is off the tails of gen trans season where the guys were horrible to her and like they had misled them thinking it was gonna be a different girl and then the whole time they just kept telling her that that was gonna be a different girl and she wasn't usually their type they usually like the other girl who is a white blonde woman and i'm like oh very nice very cool very cool and they were like we'll make it they just keep thinking we'll put you on dancing with the stars i'll make up for it she's dating her partner so like slightly better but like stop yeah and they also skipped uh bachelor in paradise which i would say is one that people liked a lot more where it's like different seasons
Starting point is 00:50:17 they bring all the single people on and it's the i think as far as i know one of the more successful the bachelor is not that successful the bachelorette is more successful in like picking and being with that person for a long time but bachelor in paradise has made a hell of a lot of couples from that because it's just more people yeah and they announced that bachelor in paradise is back still no bachelorette they're gonna do bachelor in paradise and they're combining it with the golden bachelor ew yes ew i know yeah i thought it had to be a joke there is no outcome in which this is okay first of all what there's just creepy men there where all these young girls are in bathing suits second of all or are you gonna be like let let's have lisa give jade some dating
Starting point is 00:51:03 advice and then you're making these women who are 55 be like it's like you're her grandmother i'm like they are 20 years apart like she's not like it's either weird and fucking age shamey or also just pervy because like i know for a fact you're gonna make some insinuations that like one of one of the guys is interested in one of the young girls or one of the young like ew and also get these old people off the beach i i thought that show where they were like the one where yes that one where they were date like their their sons were there no like this is worse it's it's this is the part that really makes me i mean it's all fucking gross but the people who nominated so like who are submitted for golden bachelors only had one
Starting point is 00:51:47 season two seasons like something very one i think they're coming back with a second one but the people who not so the people are fucking randos who they nominated and you know who nominated them fans of the series who nominated their parents and they're gonna get there they love the show and they're going to watch their peers. It's going to be all old women then because the Bachelor, like it was the Bachelor,
Starting point is 00:52:08 like Golden Bachelor was... It's a woman this time. So they've had one season of a man. That already happened. I think the new Golden Bachelorette is a woman. I know that, but like it hasn't aired yet.
Starting point is 00:52:18 So why would they be invited? And they have all the people. They do that all the time. They're like, and everyone's like, so they clearly didn't end up together because they're on Paradise. And like...
Starting point is 00:52:28 I'm traumatized, Megan. No. me fucking too i can't believe i haven't actually i can because i except for my one friend that was on the bachelor head i block everyone out i don't know why more people aren't talking about like i'm like you guys are perverts like this is you're going to be like women aren't interesting enough let's get all the old like this is getting really fucking weird and like let me take in mind that they also like will put black boxes over their butts if they think their bikinis are like too like sexual like where are we going here are we doing weird puritanical values or are you doing
Starting point is 00:53:04 massive age gaps and like they have to like they do the nighttime ceremonies usually like at 3 a.m and you're standing for a long time what if they have osteoporosis which by the way doesn't discriminate on age but like and you're making them sleep with no ac on these what if they have a c-pat machine like it's just fucking weird and gross man i'm so disgusted i'm so sad that you've brought this to my attention me too and i just like i feel i specifically feel so fucking bad for the women on this the young women on this show because i also feel bad for the old women but like the idea that like i can't have my ass out because peepaw is here and then if it's not going to be creepy then i feel also bad for the older women because they're going to be like
Starting point is 00:53:50 oh mother goose and it's like this is a 50 year old woman she's not even retired and they're like like that's younger than my mom that's what I'm saying like it's just like what who thought this was a good idea ABC is getting desperate and if you're getting desperate bring back desperate housewives
Starting point is 00:54:11 like script a show like this don't have real people go there and do this and like there are people who have been on the Bachelor franchise who nominated their parents imagine they're on the fucking same season I hate this Megan i know well mine's dark okay well maybe you should have gone first okay here's mine
Starting point is 00:54:31 all right so this my nomination is dr gerhardt koenig koenig so picture this you're in hawaii and then you have this incident at a lookout a place that's supposed to be so beautiful and then your husband a doctor anesthesiologist is like let's take a picture and you're like no thank you and so he hits you over the head and then pushes you over the lookout trying to kill you and he also had syringes with medications in it and poked you with it this is like a criminal minds episode yes and so luckily his wife survived she was hospitalized and he can't even say like it was an accident because she survived and she can tell exactly what happened she's a nuclear engineer i was about to say that yeah holy shit
Starting point is 00:55:38 she's a nuclear engineer he also goes on the run they put out a police bulletin and then they finally find him they're holding him for a five million dollar bond and he gets charged he's a doctor this whole thing is supposed to be saving people's lives and he hits his wife again because she wouldn't take it he claims it was because she wouldn't take a picture with him but like clearly he had planned this you don't in the heat of the moment carry around a syringe of medication poke her hit her over the head numerous times with a rock and then push her over the outlook because she doesn't want to take a picture he also tried to cover it up and i just want to remind people domestic violence is real and you can't trust the person you're sharing a bed with
Starting point is 00:56:34 the person that's supposed to love you you're supposed to be out on a romantic stroll together and he planned your murder and then goes on the run and they have to find him um there's still a lot of details that are coming out about what happened because this just happened this week um so i will be following this but uh fuck him what a fucking psycho yeah no what a fucking psycho an anesthesiologist that's the that's the scariest part it is it is because they control everything and they have to be so strategic and the math has to be exactly right they know how to dose you to make it look like an accident yeah like people talk about like there's such a specific personality type of anesthesiologist because like it is not like a any personality can get it it's
Starting point is 00:57:27 a really specific you have to be so focused yeah and you sit there for hours during surgeries just monitoring what's going on and being able being cool having that level of responsibility that's not like it's not checked in the same way a lot of other things are like that is your sole responsibility and it's it's like such a fucking hard field to get into like that's it's just so crazy it does say that he it doesn't they're unsure if they have kids together but it does seemed like he is known to have two children from a previous marriage and i wonder what that uh his ex will say to this yeah i gotta say to trying to do this in hawaii that's where they live an anesthesiologist in hawaii that's why i said they were like on a stroll okay yeah this is just
Starting point is 00:58:20 there are so many just like incredibly culturally like sake like the island like hawaii all of the incredibly culturally significant and sacred i also wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the reason why she survived yeah that like that's you know it that's that's wild he looks exactly like you'd expect by the way everybody a little twerp she's gorgeous he is a twerp is exactly like you'd suspect wow i can't believe people didn't see it happen Do you know what I mean? It could have been, like, there's so many remote trails, and if you live there, then you know, like, where to go.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Yeah. I mean, it's like a pretty popular. A lookout, yes. But yeah, maybe it was a specific spot. They're just saying the lookout point, but it was probably, like, a step along the way. Wow, wow, wow. So I'm so glad she survived and was able to tell her story.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Yeah. and then he can't go back and treat people no he has been fired yes but like if she hadn't survived they would have just like put him on leave for a while oh yeah and been like okay you know you need to deal with your morning like they wouldn't have known that he tried to kill her holy fuck thank you so much for listening on that note anything else fun we should say we've got merch coming another youtuber was arrested oh i don't know so is it that one that's like faking that he's having a psychotic break saying that he's too famous and he will be fine that one um sure i don't know if he's faking a psychotic break is that what he's saying he's
Starting point is 01:00:09 saying he's mentally stable and he's saying that they're trying to claim he's had i think he's trying to do watching the video yes i think he's trying to do reverse psychology you're saying it's psychotic break he goes it's not a psychotic break yes because yeah it's bad acting no it it like really is like it's not it's really bad acting i feel bad he kind of looks like one of those guys who does the frisbee trick shots and i know it's not him but like if i was that guy who did those frisbee videos i'd be like can you can you not we look a little too much alike for you to be doing this and then being famous youtuber and they were like at first it was like oh he attempted attempted murder on a police officer and i was like okay police officers if you
Starting point is 01:00:50 cough in the general direction attempted murder and then when i read that he ran him over with his car i was like oh it seems like a point of privilege to me and he thought i was gonna get away with it well it's mox and i were talking about this because um we were we were in glendale and we saw like glendale pd and they were like just and mox was like they are always just looking for like all they fucking do is dui checkpoints they have there's nothing for them to do it was like middle of the week night i forget where you were and um we like saw them much like yeah i actually haven't seen a dui checkpoint in a while and i was talking about like you it's crazy to me is dui checkpoints are like very effective but like to this day still we will see videos of
Starting point is 01:01:33 predominant people like who work in politics who are literally just speed off and then be shocked when they're followed and i'm like do you not think that that's a worse charge than like blowing and getting a dui or a wet reckless or something like that that like people do anything to avoid going through a dui checkpoint and then said they're like i'm gonna actually attempt to murder someone yeah okay yeah maybe he should have been into frisbee maybe maybe he needed yeah more zen yeah unless they play ultimate frisbee that's not then it's very ultimate yeah anyways play frisbee catch it yeah go to therapy if you don't like your spouse divorce them yeah yeah and never trust a man yeah because your husband is the person who's
