deeply weather confused i have to assume the rest of the country is falling soon usually people don't really get it well spring break's already happening so yeah they've already they've already experienced it you know how i feel about the seasons unless the weather changes it's too frustrating for me well it did change for a day it was like 200 degrees and then it went back down that was summer it skipped spring it's dry we have no rain therefore where's the april showers bringing the flowers we're getting rain tonight allegedly look it's cloudy it feels wet we're getting rain tonight yeah but i i hate that weather where it is just like gray and it feels damp outside yeah and that's what i just said it was cloudy and it's wet yeah it feels like the

inside of a laundry machine washing okay well megan what is this show this is a show uh where we, Megan and Melissa, two people who have not once ever been wrong, we share that skill and that talent with you, our audience. We have three different segments on the show. We will explain each one of them before we get into this reactive one. So you don't have to be overwhelmed with the information. But what you really just need to know is we love when you participate. There are multiple ways to participate, but the key one is voting on who you think was wrong in everything we talk about in this episode. And that is what we do over on our Instagram. So we post it on our stories and it's also in a highlight and you vote the poll who was wrong who wasn't wrong and then

write in with why you voted the way you did your thoughts your feelings anything about that specific call right in person whoever we talked about and it can also be like a fun fact like we talked about clayton eckard uh and his lack of uh bullying and his lack of um like lower body proportions and i did call him a hoagie with a p on top as a body type and we had someone write in saying hey this man is constantly on my hinge like all the time that had very little to do with the topic at hand but it was important information that i loved knowing i think it had a lot to do because during your discussion you talked about his dancing and they send a video of him dancing on his hinge profile all i'm saying is like my guy if you are already

on the bachelor you've done that you have that abc connection and you can't get on dancing with the stars on dancing with the stars hang up those shoes hang them up and what shoes are they his gym shoes you don't want people just to dance no i don't i do not him i don't want anybody to dance i don't want him to actually i i like laughing i just don't show me or show me and then don't get mad when i go hee hee ha ha and also stop everybody this is a note and it also applies to me because i i have a i have a i i know my body type there's a reason why the best dancing video i've ever posted is me in my beekeeping suit stop dancing in in skinny jeans stop dancing in if you can't fill it out no that's what i'm saying like it well actually i you know me i am actually

like morally religiously and ethically opposed to skinny jeans as a whole on men like i really it's it's i thought you meant on women too because you were talking about you and your b costume no no no but i'm saying like you're like wondering what's missing from your dance move it's baggy pants you need something to throw back and if you're melissa you're uh genetically gifted if you're me throw a b-suit on anyways you know before you got your b-suit and this was years ago when you were actually actively trying to twerk and i said get you some baggy pants and to work and you never did it i ended up on a there's this girl who does um nails on tiktok and she also is like a professional dancer and she like has a dance account that i like clicked

on because she she did dance for shakira at the grammys and so she like shakira shakira she tagged it and she was wearing these sweatpants and everybody was like oh my god where which ones are these where are they from where are they from and everybody's like oh it's a dancer like these are the ones that we wear and so i'm like okay i gotta get those okay all right should we get into our first segment we should our first segment is called but am i wrong that's when we pick something from our own personal lives that we might have been wrong about we also sometimes just go on rants or just talk about whatever is on our heart our minds our soul and present it and then you guys get to vote on if we were wrong or not in the situation and i'm first up this week and so

friends listeners enemies fellow inhabitants of this pale blue dot that is floating in space oh god we have the same one okay we might have different takes on it though but same one for centuries space has captivated our imaginations it's a realm of mystery and boundless potential but recently a new narrative has emerged space tourism and I'd like to say and we've talked about this before when like the billionaires were doing their great space race to see who was going to get up there first but it's just annoying me even more now and today i would like to say if the majority of people believe that while you're having sex just the tip still make you a virgin then just the tip of going into space does not make you an astronaut just the stratosphere

breaching we see all these headlines of celebrities on these very expensive joy rides into the atmosphere and we're told it's progress and inspiring but inspiring to who to do what to become a millionaire and spend money to go to space and is it even space again it's just the tip And they're not even going up there long enough to get Postmates delivered. They could order something on DoorDash, go up, come back. That meal still isn't there. I've taken shits longer. I know you have.

You told me pisses longer. I didn't mean shits. I was going to say men have taken shits longer. I've taken pisses longer. And today I'd like to argue that this industry, quote unquote, is not only frivolous and a distraction, but a fundamental bad, bad investment of time, resources and attention. The recent Blue Origin flight, lauded as a celebration of women in aeronautics, perfectly encapsulates the problem. An all-female crew, again, these words that are being used, crew, as in people that were just on this vessel, does that make me part of the flight crew when I fly on a plane?

Yeah, does that make you responsible and culpable for a Boeing lawsuit? Right. So this all-female crew that had prominent people like Gayle King and Katy Perry, they took this 8 to 12 minute little jaunt into suborbital space and the optics were very carefully curated and supposed to be this message of female empowerment soaring to the heavens. but let's peel back that glossy veneer and examine the reality this wasn't a scientific expedition it was also being called a mission like what were what was the mission what were they doing they were going up there floated for a quick second and came back katie had to reveal her track list that was her mission what mission were they on they weren't pushing any boundaries of human knowledge it wasn't about addressing any critical issues facing our planet it was in essence a very expensive publicity stunt a billionaire's play thing providing a fleeting

moment of weightlessness and a life-changing as they said view for a select few and the backlash was immediate and i think justified even before they even put on their little uh outfits they got from amazon and i mean that literally because it is amazon therefore they did get these outfits from Amazon. There were plenty of people that were pointing out, including us, when we learned that Gail was going. We're like, you don't have to go. And when you have me agreeing with Olivia Munn on something, we have issues. Olivia Munn said that it felt gluttonous and in a world grappling with climate change, poverty, and inequality, the sheer cost of these ventures is staggering. They don't let you know the exact price of this Blue Origin ticket. There's a lot

of secrecy around it. Some people are saying it's a $150,000 deposit just to reserve a seat. Reports suggest individual tickets likely cost millions of dollars, millions spent on a joyride that lasts less than the average commute. And also there's environmental costs. Rockets launch no matter how brief produce a significant amount of pollutants and there's irony in this because like katie perry a moment after returning from this little jaunt was talking about protecting mother earth the very earth whose atmosphere they just contributed to degrading for a fleeting personal experience and also like when you buy things off amazon they're like would you like this to come like a day later to cut down on emissions and it's like you're literally launching

things into space for no reason just for fun one social media person that i saw noted that katie perry's single space trip likely burned more emissions than taylor swift's entire errors tour So let's put that in perspective. The argument that space tourism will eventually become more affordable if enough people show interest is a weak justification for its current extravagance. we have pressing needs on earth that demand immediate and substantial financial investment imagine what the impact of these millions of dollars could do if they were directed towards climate change poverty health care instead they are being used to fund the ultimate luxury experience for the ultra wealthy furthermore the narrative surrounding these flights often feel disingenuous. The quote-unquote for all womankind interview featuring the Blue Origin crew

highlighted the racial diversity of the passengers with Katy Perry stating her desire to show her daughter that any type of person can reach their dreams. Yuck. What does that mean? Any type of person? Because it was a diverse group of women? This sentiment rings hollow when the company behind the fight amazon has faced criticism for rolling back its di programs when its founder daddy bezos has expressed optimism about a political figure whose policies many see as detrimental to marginalized communities the emphasis also on glam of this fight i mean no one's wearing any type of helmet so you know it was really serious right like katie perry also said she was putting the ass in astronaut it trivializes the work of actual scientists and

engineers who dedicate their lives to space exploration also reinforces superficial images that undermines the true challenges and importance of space research and i'm not saying bitches can't look cute you can look cute but that can't be the only reason why you're going up in space look space look cute with two feet on the fucking ground yeah quinta won't even get on a cruise ship and you're hopping in space look cute she looks great right here on earth too firmly planted on the ground on earth even emily ratajkowski said wait that this flight was wasteful and performative and it also feels like a dystopian oligarchy because all the passengers did really was experience a few minutes of weightlessness when they could have done that here there you can go

to any one of these like space places or even where you can do indoor skydiving and you can have that same weightless feeling. You do not have to go and just put your little tip into the atmosphere. And then they were also saying we use space technology all the time through GPS and satellites. Okay, and that's helping me get from point A to point B. What was this doing? Instead of celebrating these escapades, we should be questioning the priorities they represent. We should be asking why the vast sums of money and resources are being poured into a pursuit that benefits so few while so many on earth are in dire need. We should be wary of the performative activism that uses these flights as a backdrop for hollow pronouncements about

inspiration and progress. The true inspiration lies not in watching celebrities float in zero gravity for a few minutes, but in the tireless work of scientists, engineers, and activists who are striving to solve the very real problems facing our earth. The true progress lies in investing in sustainable solutions, addressing inequality, and ensuring a livable future for all. Thank you. Wow, that was beautiful.

to me is is just mortifying like everyone talks about oh my god i don't want to be perceived i don't want to be perceived you know where i don't want to perceive people in space as someone who loves being perceived i don't want to be perceived in space and i think that maybe one of these things needs to come down because you know what's not happening as often the submersible we're not having that because guess what happened oh highly publicized of these people all died and then we have scientists real scientists not people with amazon prime fucking little snowsuits who come on here and then explain what happens to your body and how graphically you disintegrate And all of this stuff.

And you know what we don't see right now? We're not seeing as many commercials. We're not seeing people going, hey, I wonder how Mariana's Trench is doing. Let me go see firsthand. We're not doing that. I think we did see, what did we see that someone said? We got more satellite footage of the Titanic recently. And like sending cameras.

Whatever happened to Sputnik? Whatever happened to, whatever happened to a nice little, a rover, a Mars rover? name one clifford name it after any famous dog you would like but i think my hot take is it's embarrassing and in order for it to be stopped uh i i think one needs to crash land in the water or get stuck forever in space orbiting or here's the third option and this is only for conspiracy theorists and i don't actually believe it but it's just right here now that megan has said it is very low-hanging fruit and so i just got to make a little funny okay i know where we're going or the tape skips while they're up there i thought you were gonna say they see the earth is flat

no no no no no no you said too far too far too far i need boeing to make one and i need i need boeing to do their boeing work no but i need people to get on one and i need boeing to do it and then i need it to be like oh shit how about we don't now how about we like unfortunately i think a tragedy needs to happen before people stop wasting a fuck ton of money on something that has absolutely no progress and meaning i will say though i am so happy that people outside of california and specifically people outside of los angeles are joining what i would like to say is the la-led katie perry hate train that we have had for years since she endorsed rick caruso and i've been like lukewarm on her before that when she i was gonna say before that when she

was trying to buy well she did get the nuns land yeah the hate started thin oh yeah well i i liked her i always enjoyed her i like i liked her i really loved her first album but like i left her um what's her ep like way back in the day but like this girl's that one was lit that one fucking and the fact was the fact that she didn't sing et in space i feel like there was some rights thing that was happening because she wouldn't sing any of her songs yeah but that's when she has the rights i don't want to give them the rights that's yeah but i like i just i love that people are finally like people are like seeing that i'm like oh by the way she does this whole thing of like oh yeah i was i used to be a christian singer and like now i'm not anymore and like

i'm like you guys it's she she's still just she's been bad she's been bad this whole time but before we didn't have interviews she would just be on stages with you know um whipped cream titties spinning and dancing with a shark and like it felt like very campy and include and like you assumed inclusive no no she she she's she's a bad person she's a bad person with although also also zero thoughts behind her eyes which to me is like the most unsettling kind of bad person because it's like your autopilot is on and the autopilot is like it's dumb like it's not your autopilot is not like going through life like as a npc it's like as a character who's glitching like i'm like hello hello katie or to katie yeah welcome to katie perry hate train everybody um

and i will say shout out to wendy's who tweeted saying what if they just like left katie perry there and then kesha posted a photo afterwards of her going to get wendy's and mott sent it to me and he was like wait what's wendy's beef with katie perry and i was like babe are you new to wendy's game wendy's has been on this before anybody wendy's is like certified hater and i was like i don't know maybe it's like they really embody like the ethos of like the redhead like of the of that like fuck this girl like we are fighting and i'm like and i i love it and i hate her so much and don't listen to her album don't listen to her new album because she's working with dr luke so yeah going to space is embarrassing yeah um also gail you made me look less on you

like i just can't because she also said something about this should be like she doesn't understand why people don't see this as empowerment for women can i tell you my theory i've never seen someone who embodies more like sunk cost fallacy than her because like she didn't want to go she looked terrified she was miserable the whole time she looked deeply unhappy and now she was assured by her team that like this was going to be great this was going to be great and then she didn't even want to she without a doubt had to be convinced to go and then she went and then she's getting all this fucking backlash which she's like are you fucking kidding like every but she's had oprah out there crying i'm like i saw somebody tell her to stay like oprah oprah

tell her to stop and i also in the back of your fucking car i also somebody oh somebody tweeted out i don't know if you saw it but somebody tweeted out this is what it looks like when you almost lose your best eater see when ira was like much sadder it was like gail you can't leave oprah doesn't have a lot of people and i was like like you're literally her the love of her life you can't do this because she didn't want to be there and so like her response now when she's like getting like heated and angry i'm like oh you are pissed you are pissed that it took them so long to convince you and then you get up there and they told you it was going to be in power it was going to be this whole fucking thing and then you're like okay fine after all this time they finally

fucking convince you like there's no way that she was i bet they had to knock on her door 20 times that morning i bet they took off late because she was like oh i'm can't find me and then like now it's like well no it had i'm like no it people were saying it before that's what i'm saying though that it's like she should have listened to any of that yes and i so i give her no allowance it's just crazy to me as someone who so clearly invisibly did not want to go went and then people are like why did you go and i'm like girl ask yourself the same question like you you didn't even want to be there who was holding a gun to your head because it certainly wasn't oprah and the craziest part is like i know they didn't even get paid to do this

yeah like they like this was just like a pr thing and that's so fucking embarrassing why don't you just go on hot ones like a normal person space embarrassing hot wings not embarrassing even the people that are actual scientists okay but like well i also think in general like it's kind of like imagine like you'd put all of this work in and like you actually are an expert and like the only time you get to go is with celebrities for a pr son like that's a slap in the fucking face you're literally there with jeff bezos fiance she she's really hard to look at like yeah because she's inflated it i i'm like really worried about any sharp objects near her yeah it it looks like she's having a reaction she could have exploded that's a really good point

actually she should not have gone no no no that seems like same reason why you can't bring aerosol up there i feel like at this point she's just an aerosol can why was that why was a filmmaker up there why was katie perry not looking at the earth and she was just staring at the camera with her like dead eyes she always has dead eyes she can't help that no and i will say just for everybody it's important to see these kinds of people and who they surround themselves with and sometimes and you should and you should you should judge and you should wonder why and be like okay there's got to be something uh that you're aligned with here yeah if you're a real astronaut let us know right in yeah shout out to all the aks that made space travel possible

and have been up there were all of the ones that depicted in the movie of hidden figures aka's or just all all of them fantastic movie really great story love hidden figures and shout out to allison schroeder who wrote another one of everybody's favorite films yep shipping julia you guys i'm not fucking kidding who's your favorite astronaut i don't know it might be the character of love and interstellar um but i i don't know space is one of those things that like it's like a morbid curiosity of me of mine like it's like a disc like i'm very fascinated by it but like if i get into like the actual technical stuff about it monsters listened to this whole podcast about like this that one um where they

sent up uh they like did a whole like nationwide search for like a teacher to get nominated who was like a much space and it just like exploded yeah it happened a few months before i was born yeah and my mom was watching it and that's remember i told you i have a connection with it because of that and so i not a few months the month before i was born i met a i met um uh an astronaut at the which reminds me a lot of this the nfl's women's reminds me a lot of this flight where i was like okay this is not real this is not actual women's empowerment um but i don't know that i have a favorite astronaut do you yes mine is may jemison she was the first black woman to go into space and she is also an aka i mean i do think you could make a challenge a game

point to one of the a successful prolific black woman she will be a naked it is statistically high very high likelihood and you look at me and it's me and jamie chung and thankfully megan markle i was about to say don't leave out megan markle no i won't but jamie chung was my chapter wait so wait mary's last name is what may oh sorry may oh i wrote may i just read it wrong jimison jimison oh i've seen her picture before she's an icon she was it probably hanging up in your library probably also like so many fucking astronauts specifically women like they never and even in like fictionalized versions of like again like uh interstellar all of this kind of stuff like so many people train their whole

lives to go and they don't they don't get to do it and so this whole thing of being like oh it's just let's do this for fun all right so we're gonna take another break and then we get back we'll get into your what are you wrong at Desjardins insurance we know that when you own a nail salon everything needs to be perfect from tip to toe that's why our agents go the extra mile to understand your business and provide tailored solutions for all its unique needs you put your heart into your company so we put our heart into making sure it's protected get insurance that's really big on care find an agent today at Desjardins.com slash business coverage.

Here's the first one. Was I 20 they she wrong for telling my mother 51 she her that I wouldn't stay at her house if she

gets a gun. Some background. I'm a college student who splits time at my divorced parents' houses and went home because that's what it was like before I left. And I take care of the pets and clean my mom's house because she and my brother don't. Even tells her co-workers that her dog walker is coming home from school rather than her daughter. Anyway, my mother is one of those hyper woke moms constantly fighting people on Facebook and after the last election she had been fearing a civil war. She says that if he can make them storm the Capitol who's to say he can't make them attack other citizens. I've tried to explain to her that it's more dangerous to live in a house with a gun than without one but she won't back down. I told her I would move in

permanently with my dad if she did get one as she just said that she would do it in secret instead am i overreacting to the situation i'm autistic and get told i do that a lot so please tell me the truth well i might have a hot take here i i would like to know that your mother's race i think if she's a white woman with a gun because you're saying she's gotten like oh extremely woke if if you think there's any possibility that you're and i'm only speaking as a white person who's seen white people do this specifically people who were very very very progressive if she's at the age where if you've got like you know dementia that runs in your family if you've got like some people who've been radicalized like whatever like if you think your mom is going to

like shoot some someone then i mean not someone if you think your mom is going to like mistakenly shoot you if we're at a level of paranoia of like she's got it locked and loaded not locked she's got it loaded like underneath her pillow then i would be like yeah then don't go over there so if you don't trust her with weaponry but i think if she's able to keep it like a secret from you then i'm like if it's locked up if it's safe if other people don't know i'm not a fan of guns i don't want to be around guns if i'm in a house and it has a gun and i don't know about it and it's locked up in a fucking safe down so far away and no people don't know about it then do i think it's going to be effective no i don't think you're actually gonna i don't think but at the same time

i also i go i i didn't know it was there yeah i believe that there is a such thing as responsible gun owners and my grandparents on both sides had guns they were also black people that were in the south and I know the horrendous things that my family members have gone through and I saw the guns I didn't know how to use them I didn't know where they were but I may see them when they're being put up before we get there they're like oh the kids are here we gotta put them up but like i think that you can own guns and be responsible if you do not keep the bullets and the gun in the same place if they're locked up especially if there aren't children in the home and it doesn't seem like they're i don't know how old your brother is if there aren't

children in the home and they don't know where the gun is they don't know how to get to the gun but i think there if she's like actually goes and gets trained by a professional obtains it legally knows how to actually use it like by going to a gun range and she keeps it in a protected space away from anyone that can harm themselves i see nothing wrong with being then with having a gun But I do understand being nervous around a gun. And if it does make you feel more safe and more comfortable to go live with your dad, then do that. Yeah, good point. I have a question about how old your brother is, because I truthfully have more of a concern about that.

And again, as a white woman, is your mom's paranoia, is your mom a white woman? is like paranoid oh and the next civil war is coming this is like this is gonna does she view herself as like the ultimate victim the ultimate marginalized community because again like to me gun owner gun ownership out of i'm gonna say like true like paranoia in terms of like rankings of who is being targeted you i as a white woman i am not the ultimate target the ultimate minority the ultimate person who's being discriminated against or who's being profiled anything like that that's not to say that like shit in america is wonderful for white women and women as a whole no no but i understand that i deal with so much privilege so if she is a white woman i think that

like that level of like paranoia is not safe for gun ownership because like that's not i don't think that the training and all of that kind of stuff like I don't think she will be as responsible with it because it's she's getting it out of a point of like fear not a point of hey I want to have this thing and like responsible gun owners like also know

that like they're not the ones being like I have to white people I'm saying don't get this big you know I need to have this to defend my family like responsible like white gunners be like yeah I like the peace of mind of having this I know that like

because of how safely i keep it i'm not able to grab it so quickly and also i don't have the need isn't really coming up it's there and i know how to use it whatever but like getting any getting a weapon out of paranoia paranoid people should not have weapons mm-hmm so i think that is a huge part and it's also like a a big misinformation that like all progressive and liberals like want to get rid of guns as a whole it's not it's not true it's never been true at all no and also we should say it really depends on what she wanted to get you know but without a doubt your brother should not know where to like that's to all right your turn hey eminem i'm a 24 year old scorpio she her in a predicament with a 24 year

old Taurus she her. The context is we met over a year ago at a friend's party and she asked about me after I had left. She ended up moving to the city that I used to live in before I moved five hours back home to take care of my now dead terminally ill mom. I did EMDR and somatic therapy to help connect with my emotions. I went to the city to see my friends and she took me to a party where I met another friend of the group who told me that she had heard all about me, especially from the Taurus with the smart. That night the Taurus tried to kiss me, but we were on drugs and I was yapping uncontrollably. This night I told her she would be spending Christmas with me as we were both alone anyway. She invited me back for a show that she was in, I went, and

then two weeks later for graduation. We finally did a cliche kissing on New Year's Eve and would sneak moments for the next couple days. The day she left sucked, but I would be back in the city in months time. When I was next there, she told me that I was the only person she was seeing and interested in. The next day she asked me on a date for when I'm here next and a couple weeks later sent me a valentine's day message fast forward to a week ago on april 10th i sent her a screenshot that alluded to our relationship and she told me that she's been seeing a guy and things are getting serious am i wrong for expecting at least a heads up rather than accidentally initiating this conversation wait that is like the biggest plot twist you encountered a fuck girl what happened

in march yeah were you still talking were you facetiming did you fall off the earth but just expected her to still be there what happened did she meet someone in in march and then is like oh things are getting serious by the beginning of april or like because yes the timeline has been there like the the time span but like two weeks later you went to a show so you met at a party so that I'm going to count the times you spent time together met at a party you were on drugs together then almost kissed did you go to Christmas I have that question because you brought up Christmas and then you went she went to a show and then two weeks later for graduation then New Year's I'm gonna let's say like I'm maybe Christmas like you threw that in there so that's six and

then you're back a month after and then the next day Valentine's Day oh no Valentine's Day was a text so you spent time in person together seemingly like eight separate times yeah I think this is really weird I don't think you're wrong at all for expecting a heads up unless like something crazy happened in March that we don't know about but like nine times like in person hanging out with someone I think it's not necessarily like an assumed level of seriousness or an assumed title of your relationship but i would assume that after nine dates you would tell me if you were getting serious with somebody else especially if you've already said you're the only person i'm dating and interested in well maybe they meant dating as well as interested in you're

not the only person i'm dating but i'm not interested yeah because we're supposed to sit here and decode this like I feel like that I should be taking that like I should take your word as as it is and you should have given me a heads up I think this is even beyond not giving a heads up like this

feels like you said like this like intentionally misleading it's not that you just didn't tell me you like actually told me the opposite man I'm sorry I'm sorry too and a man yeah why would a man be like that's that's

yeah you're not wrong they're very wrong extremely wrong deeply wrong they and also quite possibly like not well like this is just like this is such a a unique like you said like this is like a like a fuck girl like this is like a fuck person like this is one of those things that's like feels like intentionally maliciously cruel for no reason and also like you know bonding over i don't know why they were alone for the holidays but like yeah question did they say when you talked about this did they say you're the only person i'm seeing or you're the only girl they're so literal and what was the screenshot that you sent that alluded to your relationship i also i have to say like what you that you met her through mutual friends and

like are your mutual friends like totally blindsided too because like that to me is like a that's a big thing i mean like did you all you fuckers all know too or what i think that i'm not saying that you should commit a crime but i'm just saying that like i bet people like this get their car keyed yeah i'm sorry me too i'd be hurt i'd be raging out all right We're going to take a break. When we get back, we'll get into Butter's Day Room. Hear that? It's your money calling.

it really has nothing to do with this episode i just want to talk about it and we're not going to be able to talk about it for a while perfect i love it so they just announced that alicia silverstone will be coming back for clueless they're going to do a series on peacock okay and i know that stacy dash is a controversial figure but if she's not part of this show then what is the show and also alicia silverstone endorsed rfk jr so i feel like they're tip for tat you gotta have both of them no here's the thing i think if you're going to separate the art from the artist you separate all the arts from all the artists in this case like i don't think this is a good call i think it's gonna be bad point blank well

the original creator is part of it too like she's going to be writing and stuff and she's still actively writing so i don't think it'll be that probably be a young like do you think they'll be parents i don't know that's always what they do is it's like their kids doing i don't know there's another step brother um yeah and also like not to be dark but like you know there are other characters who are no longer like actors were no longer with us in this so otherwise it's just gonna be the alicia silverstone right like it won't be clueless yeah so hot take stacy dash has to be part of it too that's so funny all right so today i want to talk about a story that's happening in new jersey that pits a charitable i don't know what to call it a

charitable intention against local concerns and it includes a rock icon against a mayor that right rock icon being millie bobby brown's father-in-law bon jovi i just learned that there's someone there's bon jovi and then there's john bon jovi well that's his his name is john bon something like that's his name and then the band itself is called bon jovi and then because he became known as bon jovi even though like his last name is something with bon jovi in it but it's not exactly hold on like okay john oh bon jovi yeah that's what it actually is and so he started going by john bon jovi even though that's not his actual last name but his kids have the actual last name so yes i got deeply confused because i was like are they how many how many

of them are there yes yes yes yes so him and his wife dorita they run this kitchen called the jbg j jbg soul kitchen through their foundation and this isn't like a typical restaurant they operate in a pay it for it type model so there's no set prices um if you can afford to pay then you're encouraged to donate covering the cost of those who can't pay. So you can go in and if you can't pay, you just get some food or you can also volunteer like in the kitchen or something. So I think it's a beautiful concept and it shows, you know, like communities can come together and feed those that can't feed themselves at that moment. In February, he and his wife extended this to the toms river with a temporary pop-up location um near the ocean county library and the

intentions of this were clear to provide a warm meal and a sense of dignity to anyone in need and by all accounts it was doing just that so patrons have said that it was a blessing a really nice place and they were excited that there was someplace they could go to get nourishing food and the bon jovis again not their actual name uh that's why i got something i know um they celebrated their 200 000th meal across their various locations and shows that shows like the impact of their mission however this kind act has been met with resistance from the toms River mayor, Dan Roderick. His stance is very clear that he wants the pop-up gone. He claims that the Soul Kitchen is essentially a soup kitchen that is attracting a problematic number

of unhoused individuals to the Toms River, and he alleges that these individuals are being bussed in from all around the state, even from other states, into the library located just a block from a school and it's an inappropriate place to have an operation like this and he says that the toms river should not have to bear the brunt of homelessness for their entire county especially which he claims since none of the patrons are from toms river itself he has even stated that his legal team is exploring lawsuits to potentially force the pop-ups closure citing safety concerns and a strain on local resources but how is this even a fair assessment the uh ocean county commissioner robert a-r-a-c-e erase iraqi i don't know refused the mayor's claims

of busing people into the toms river and insists that data does not support an increase of incidents he states that it's not a soup kitchen the lease for the pop-up at the library is currently in place until just May 23rd. And so if you don't know how pop-ups work, they're only there for a temporary amount of time. And also the Bon Jovis themselves have responded to the controversy saying that they affirm that their foundation

is committed to ending homelessness through real solutions, highlighting their work in building affordable and supportive housing. Their intention is not simply to displace people but to offer a genuine pathway to stability and so this mayor is just being a disturbance to get attention for what backstage passes well then you need to be friends with him you're just being a hater and you just you don't want people to eat so you're so what you're saying to me is that

you're for people starving okay thanks yeah big fan of people starving and dying yep which i feel like would be more disruptive to your city yeah so that is my wrong of the week i hope um bon jovi has some some some intense fans that oh he does those people love him well i mean in the sense that like that this man you mean yeah you don't have to say i i yeah i hope that i hope the fandom fandoms yeah it's just it's quite it's quite literally just so ridiculous like any and i know that because we live in la and like i grew up in the bay so like this idea of like quote unquote solving homelessness without providing resources without food without any of that it's like might i interest you in like writing a fantasy novel like it's just like there it's just

there's like quite literally no action like none of that and it's like when you have like a deep disdain and disgust for like people who are experiencing homelessness like no amount of like dignity feels earned by those people like it's just like it's it's so deeply and like truthfully so like to their core beneath them that they refuse to do anything that offers a semblance of humanity and so therefore like this cycle keeps on fucking going and it's and then you want to complain about it and it's like you do not see them as people so if you can't see them as people close your eyes pretend you can't see them at all like right and you already do you fucking ignore that and like it just makes me like so fucking irate and especially people who

like talk about how homelessness like like this guy like ruining a city or whatever homelessness doesn't ruin cities like scarcity for like places to live like a lack of job all of those things like things that lead people to have an uptick in experiencing homelessness like without a doubt is like a tragedy and very difficult and things that can be can be tackled but like people are experiencing homeless like that does not ruin a fucking city and also there's there's no busing in of people for this if they have the resources to bus people in they would they wouldn't do it they'd use those resources to take that food to the people instead of bringing them in that doesn't make sense because that then disrupts whatever type of how no matter like

where they are if they are you know experiencing houses they don't have a house but they have all their belongings in a certain place they wouldn't leave them from that place that doesn't make any sense no you want to talk about people experiencing homelessness and buses our governor knows a thing about that and i'm telling you they're not busting them in busting them out yeah all right well now it's your turn megan for my nomination this might seem out of left field not because i haven't this person has not already even been like in a carousel post of a enemy of the show from years and years and years ago and i've been vocally hating this this man but this is one of the things that i'm like

this is so deeply embarrassing that we have to talk about him so it's about elon musk and i love when right now what is happening and we're seeing in in politics is um horrible people seeing that horrible people are doing horrible things to them and then these horrible people are like this person is horrible and it's like yeah we told you that you're also horrible and it has been quite entertaining to watch all these horrible people like self-implode and um yeah so there's a cryptocurrency reporter named tiffany fong who is like big maga big maga um and yeah he dm'd her uh asking her to have a video with him and she said no and then said that she worried that saying no would hurt her earnings from twitter and she has about 335 000 at this

point of this article followers on twitter and more than 48 000 subscribers on youtube and she was doing like interviews with that like crypto sam bankman freed or whatever fried uh the one who went to jail and so she's never met elon in person but he did in fact dm her and ask her if she would like to have a baby with him and uh he over the summer he was replying to her post liking her post and all of her stuff it's like it's including pro maga right wing shit and because of him interacting all of her contents the analytics everything's like shooting up the the posts are performing so much better and just from interacting with him she got a fucking check from x with earnings of twenty one thousand dollars in just two weeks after they started

interacting publicly on twitter um and then in november he sent her a direct message asking if she would have a child with him she said no uh and then told maga influencer and you might recognize this name ashley st claire uh that she wanted to have a more traditional family and she also told her that she was worried that it would again hurt her earnings on x um and ashley st claire 26 is the one who has just come forward and said that she just had a baby with elon musk i do wonder if she was like oh that's an offer on the table let me slide into those dms do you have how much she off she was uh offering so the fong's fears did come true because her earnings dropped after he unfollowed her and reprimanded her for telling others aka ashley

about this request and she said that she didn't feed the journal who is the this is the publication that published this initial thing said that she didn't feed the story at all and would rather have kept it private but ashley saint claire was caught up in this is this the quote that she said harem drama that's in quotes what a way to self-identify if it was and so she claims that musk had offered her a one-time payment of 15 million dollars plus a hundred thousand dollars a month until her child turns 21 in exchange for her silence she rejected it she went public now she's calling tmz and like getting her tesla repoed now her earnings have declined and she's she's sad and upset about it but also being like i wish this said like being kept like private and i this one is not like a

verified thing but someone had posted in comments about this article being like the funny thing is like twenty thousand dollars on in revenue on twitter is like almost impossible to get even for top creators again in two weeks so this is implied that he sent her twenty thousand dollars through twitter revenue to entice her yep ah but um yeah it this is wild someone else had said that he invented a new way of workplace harassment which feels very true and then someone uh one of my favorite things that people do is when they repost old like titles of articles and publications a lot of them are like the guardian but once someone posted a screenshot saying i knew one day i'd have to watch powerful men burn the world down i just didn't expect them

to be such losers and i'm like yeah that's exactly how it feels and i love that that article was written and as a follow-up someone who i'm seemingly works for twitter i don't know has was responding back and forth to someone who was like asking about like hey this is like technical thing like why aren't my dms showing and they replied and said the whole entire like no not like just message requests but like hold the entire dms will be gone soon and so people were like what elon musk is now getting rid of dms because of this and then oh my gosh what a loser so i will say so that was like misconstrued someone else who worked at twitter then said it's not it's a rewrite they're not getting rid of like the entire feature but like to me having

like additional security additional privacy on it like inability to screen whatever it is if you make messages disappear regardless of like any sort of rewriting the code of like quite literally one of the bread and butter foundations of the fucking app is dms haven't changed dms are not so like yeah regardless if you're getting rid of it or changing something we all know it is off the backs of this but i just think it is so fucking funny to me that this man in the words of uh caleb heron who was born born a three born a two born a one with aspirations of an eight who landed at a five he's going to continue to do this he's going to continue to have these things and these alt-right women are going to continue to quote-unquote take him down which is also like

the biggest cell phone ever and i'm like okay let me grab my popcorn and watch you guys watch you guys do this to each other and i have to say though i kind of think that distracting with sex scandals you know might be a way to to keep them out out of out of work that's true i don't want babies though i feel sorry for those babies me fucking too like that's so tough yeah um don't have sex with Elon Musk or except his sperm but Ashley Sinclair like had sex with him I know but a lot of them are accepting are just accepting sperm I also find it crazy because everyone assumed that Ashley Sinclair like there were no photos like people were like yeah no that was definitely

didn't have sex and then she was like we had sex I'm like girl nobody thought you had sex nobody knew that you just oh you still you still have fondness in that situation towards him for some fucking reason get your money I hope Grimes gets her money too

all right well is that everything that is in fact everything I want to do a little shout out mini wrong of the week because I think more attention on it than maybe things can be reversed

uh tate mccray has announced a collaboration with morgan wallen now for anybody who's unfamiliar tate mccray is in fact from alberta and if that doesn't give you the oh this makes sense it should it is it is not a shocker in that instance at all um but her fan base is like really upset and like very angry and they're really like hoping that the more people who talk about it and like criticize it will hopefully change it and also because she had a song with tyla that they scrapped from the album in favor of this instead so uh yeah and if it comes out don't fucking listen to it all right that's the end of the episode anything fun you positive good call anything in your life oh i am um addicted to a new person who

it's not just the where's my dad i'm all alone who's now turned into young justin bieber uh i am addicted to me get make sure i get his name right and i told mons all about him and he was like what i was like oh you don't know this and mons was like this is so deeply niche nick Gallo. And who is Nick Gallo? Nick Gallo is a local reporter in Oklahoma who the Oklahoma Thunder have become. They love him so much. He is half the size of them. He is a very petite, balding, middle-aged white man. Sorry, sorry. Middle-aged, you know, it's up to interpretation if we ask Brie. So I don't know how old he is. It doesn't matter. And they love him so much they got shirts made of his face um and they forego their like big espn fox news interview

a distinct sense of like personal style and i am just so fucking excited um asap rocky i really hope that they have like a lot more black designers and specifically like stylists and all of that stuff and influencers just i mean from vogue's end and like i hope that i don't think that all these people would have signed on if they would also now that i say out loud it's not i didn't mean vogue the met they outsource that for they have like an event you know i mean like they yeah they've got people seeking out for that so i think like in general like I think we're gonna have way better red like really interesting not like I don't mean like the red carpet like Kiki who's doing it or anything like that I mean in the sense of like when you
