Don't Blame Me! - FF: 2024 In Hindsight

Episode Date: December 20, 2024

Melisa is buzzing about her new obsession: Everyday Dose Mushroom Coffee paired with Olly’s Focus Gummies. The duo is also very excited about their new merch drop! Meanwhile, Meghan had a close call with her phone (almost boiled it!) and Melisa’s been hitting the gym hard thanks to a friend’s incredible home gym. Meghan dives into her lates Christmas movie watch, “Carry On,” and discuss why Melisa’s dad should check it out (even though he’s currently on a Gunsmoke kick). From there, they take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about classic cartoons like Rugrats, Hey Arnold, The Wild Thornberrys, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and The Proud Family. But the fun doesn’t stop there! They discuss the recent arrest of a certain influencer and the surprising news about Ozempic’s potential use in treating addiction. And finally, they revisit Meghan’s 2024 predictions and see how accurate (or not) they were.

i love that what's your adult self-care are you still into your light bright oh that's where we're going no melissa we're in the first 15 minutes we've been over this we had to restart the podcast i really enjoy sitting like sitting standing or standing in the sun on my lunch breaks or whenever i'm taking a break going in my big arch window in my living room and opening the curtain and i'm usually sipping a beverage just like this in a gorgeous mug this is and it's like as big as my head that's the kind of mug i like me too because i was um i carry around now my own uh what the fuck oh what are you drinking are you drinking no no no i'm not a i was like first of all you can't do caffeine like that for people that can't see this is a um electric whisk

frother frother well frother might not be a word that might be what i call it That is one of the things that usually says like electric whisk frother, milk frother or something. It's listed like that. And it's got a little USB charge, so it's always at the most highest capacity when you use them. And then I've been drinking, as this says, everyday dose. And it is, this is not sponsored, by the way. I just love this product. so it says coffee plus but it's very low in caffeine like extremely low to the point where

i can drink it because usually caffeine keeps me up for days and i can't do a bunch of caffeine and so this is it says 80 less caffeine than regular coffee and so it's also got mushrooms but like not the psychedelic kind collagen protein and amino acids it's lots and lots of amino acids keeps me sharp keeps me focused keeps me gives me a little bit of boost is that last word a made-up word i don't know because to me it's feeling very joe rogan like and i don't know if there's like an actual like scientific definition and categorization of it or if it is just like a superfood word so i i typed it in and the word is from nootropics nootropics i typed it in um and it is real the national library of medicine popped up so uh say less there is an

article on nootropics as cognitive enhancers type diagnosis and side effects of smart drugs so and i say smart drugs are a diverse group of medicinal substances whose actions improve human thinking learning memory especially in cases where functions are impaired cool yeah i don't relate to that at all my my brain works totally fine all the time i don't have a psychiatrist i'm not on medication that i take every single day like no no like if you did a scan of my brain it would fire off in the appropriate way in the appropriate areas and no one would ever be like hey there's this you know what they would call me they'd call me typical they'd call me absolutely typical not neuro no no no a typical no no they would say you're not divergent at all you are

on these straight narrow path absolutely perfect flawless wonderful um nothing deviating from the the textbook assumptions of what we think your brain is uh gonna do so yeah so okay but this is what i walk around with now all the time including some agave i just love how like we both we both get into just eras of like what we want to do and how consumed that's going to be of us so like you know you had your nut milk era you had your infusing era i'm still doing all that i just don't talk about as much because it's the same thing over and over again but you then need to find something like once it becomes a habit then you're like well now i need i need a new little fun thing to look forward yes and so with and i've been mixing well i'm not home now i'm in

arkansas right now but i have been mixing my nut milks with this too because what it tastes like together it tastes just like coffee like it just tastes like coffee that's it i don't know why i thought it would taste different if it doesn't have as much caffeine because i guess decaf coffee still tastes like coffee it still tastes like i've never had decaf though i have and it tastes exactly like coffee i was remember one time i was at a coffee shop and i because like i said caffeine and me are not friends i mean we are friends if i wanted to just be awake make a drink for someone else yeah or make be awake for a week uh yeah and so um i ordered decaf because i like the taste of coffee and i love the lavender latte too it wasn't really to my face because she had

taken my order but she was talking to the person i was standing directly in front of her but she was talking to the person next to her that worked there and she goes i don't know why people order decaf and i was like at least say it so i can't hear you you're just talking in your regular voice looking at taking my money but talking to the person next to you that's rude does decaf still make you poop um you know not in the same way i don't know really because my stomach it just fluctuates all the time relatable yeah but my dad has these metamucil fiber gummies and i've been having some good poops recommend okay i have been doing fiber gummies in general um i didn't have to do one today because uh mods thought we were out of almond milk even though we had a full

carton so i woke up and he had ordered coffee bean be home yeah and i'm like okay cool so he ordered coffee bean and coffee bean without fail i just don't think they clean their blenders that well without fail i will have a i'll have a tummy ache it'll taste really good it is like worth like the like my tummy's a little bit off the way that i can't i can't have a coffee bean if we have plans to leave the house that day like i will poop no less than six times in in a day yeah i haven't happened i haven't had those problems oh so maybe decaf doesn't do that i don't know yeah i think coffee this blend of every everyday dose again not sponsored but love you very open to it um it says that it has stuff for gut health in here too i believe you but it's good i've been

i feel like i've been more on looking at our episodes because i've been about three weeks now looking at our episodes when i review back i'm like i feel like i'm more on with it even last week when we were traumatized but also i had only had like two hours of sleep we were delirious like just absolutely i felt like batty like i felt like i was a bat in the middle of the night and i felt like i was stuck in a home like and i was like hitting the windows hitting the walls and i don't feel like i've been the same sense i will say i am quite sleep deprived today i think i took one of my focus gummies so we'll see if i did too i work use them all together she's gonna get horny no no i didn't do the brain ones didn't do the yeah but i don't know when you were talking

about when you're reading about the definition of nootropics that feels like that could be some crossover look i i've been doing these this combo for three weeks now as i said so we're good yes you know you're not feeling uh a little extra buzz i don't want that while i'm here i can't really do anything about it no that would be like an inopportune time to just suddenly feel like you know i'm craving no actually now when i have the word craving in a sec like it's my fault because it wasn't in the actual call i was the one that used the word yeah but it was it was the right word to use because that's that it was incredibly fitting if you don't know we're talking about listen to our don't blame me from last week i'm glad everybody else is in with us

now are you wearing our new merch i am okay i need to order that one because i didn't because we had samples from the other company and this one's better than our other sample yes i was looking at what you ordered and i was like why didn't you order everything because your price was low and i was like i don't know why i'm gonna i'm gonna order the rest i am gonna order the rest you're right as i was doing the accounting i was like what if i ordered less it would get here quicker um i think it'll be there like today or tomorrow did you check because i got my stuff hoping i got my order thing saying um it had shipped and it shipped to arkansas within two days so i feel like you should be getting yours mine says it's on its way to ups they're like in

whittier i think i know and i'm like can i just swing by and grab it i like it's so annoyed when it's like literally based in la and i'm just like come on so if i don't get it today though what time do you leave tomorrow like 8 a.m oh yeah but it's all good like the the tops like they're very good very soft very cozy the pants they have pockets I didn't realize that oh Melissa there was no way I was going to really I was going to let us really swap into the pockets that is the bane of my fucking existence as someone who always needs things I always I always have to carry things i need a tissue i need my glasses i need my phone like and i need fucking pockets because if i don't i lose more things because i just set them down in random

fucking areas the other day i almost put my no this is actually really embarrassing i shouldn't say it sure my meds had worn off not that i take medication because my brain works totally typically okay so your adhd medicine what about exactly i almost put my phone into the instant pot full of boiling soup because i had the ladle in one hand and the phone in one hand your brain wasn't computing no it wasn't the ladle it was i had the coconut coconut cream i was pouring in and i had my phone and i caught myself and i was like megan what the like slowed my mom always tells me he's like slow down slow down slow down you should get some everyday dose i also creator of it also has adhd oh i actually wouldn't know what that's like at all i was

wondering i was like maybe i should get those like weighted bangles that everyone uses to make working out all the time but i'm like maybe if there's like a physical weight and restraint on me it'll make me like consciously think about moving slower i think it will work for about like two months and then you'll get too used to it and then that'll be the end of it yeah it's tough out here oh i also know what i'm getting you for christmas because i found out that someplace here has something that you want that you've talked about and i will be purchasing it when i go to the store fucking great i still have no idea what i'm getting you yeah well and i also didn't get you a christmas a birthday present because i asked you what you wanted and

you never gave me a full answer because you said you were going to think on it and i apparently thought so long and hard i forgot um but i might get you this in two different colors oh birthday and christmas oh okay i'm very into this when you have friends that are buyers at certain places you can get certain things damn if only i remember it was great and i can remember where everybody works you don't know oh okay because i was like i'm like racking my brain i was like travel agent no dollar tree has shut down no what else nope this is my friend that i won't tell you because i mean it wouldn't give anything away but i've been using she has an incredible home gym and i've been using is that

where you were posting that video of you running where you look like you're in a goddamn fucking spaceship yes i was like where i wondered if you were at that that gym that you got that like day past membership to like a couple years ago no because they converted that into a church well god bless i don't know i don't see anything wrong with that what do you we actually don't have enough in this world churches we do not have enough especially a mega church oh my gosh yeah but there's so many micro and mini well i have a micro mini church when you can have a mega church you can take over a brand new gym that had opened for a year yeah that had incredible state of our equipment you're like you know what you guys are right next door to us let's just

Do you like Die Hard? I do like Die Hard. I enjoy it. You know that I don't like regular Christmas movies. I know, but I'm like, what factors into the deviation from the regular? So we just watched Carry On.

Carry All the Way? Carry? Is that the one with The Rock and Chris Evans? That one was in theaters. and um it's home now and it was out of theaters it's still in theaters some theaters well it not really as much here which is crazy considering um we have so many movie theaters that like we get every and like you want to see an a24 movie that is doing a like a one weekend theatrical release in two theaters one of those theaters will be in los angeles yes um but i open amazon because it's a prime movie i guess and it said in theaters and at home so it's now at home

you can watch it now so i didn't know if you were watching it no we didn't watch that one um we watched uh so it's starring taryn egerton who love from uh i love that boy what are those movies the kingsman yes oh yeah you know we we fuck with the kingsman hard um he's also played elton john he's a beautiful singer gorgeous gorgeous singer he's a great actor um and uh jason bateman is the villain which is perfect casting because i do find him incredibly villainous in every role he plays even if that's not the intention if you ever seen arrested development he is very much a villain of that show oh yeah he's meant to be the hero that shows one of the best shows that ever existed yeah i've been wanting to watch it but yeah because i was like it's about five years ago

you hey we eventually get there i eventually watched new girl i eventually watched that hitchcock movie with mods but all those but like and i don't mean to say that like i don't like jason bateman or i don't think he's like talented or whatever i just think that he plays this kind of role very well even if he's like even if it's not like written into it like he makes it like he's very believable as like this is a guy you would know who like layers drives you fucking crazy and you're kind of like god i can't like you're like you're just so but in a way that because it feels real yeah child actor too exactly and he plays like the villain in this but it's about a tsa agent on working on like christmas and as had taryn edgerton described

it on the kelly clarkson show he was like it's just like he has like the worst day at work like it is just the worst fucking day and it is really really good like and i really liked it and it was like action-packed i had to take a beta blocker because my heart was racing so much i don't know that's how you know they were they did a really good job with it um except i will say my only critique and this has nothing to do um with like the acting or whatever i just probably would have picked a different airport to set it in because it was not pertinent that it had and i think maybe it's because like it's supposed to be one of the busiest days of the year obviously and um a huge airport you know high security all that stuff so they set it at lax this airport all air like i'm

also saying he's like well pretty much almost all airports look alike and i was like totally that's not lax it looks nothing like lax and specifically they have things of like cars speeding and driving and like whipping into parking and i go see that is you can't do that like it just doesn't at all there's you the way that like when she's like afraid she's about to get hit by a car and i go you could you can be stationary and the car can't hit you because the car's in bumper-to-bumper traffic so like that was one where i was like okay i would have preferred if maybe we picked like um i don't know uh chicago or even like denver is like crazy but There's all these different travel hubs.

Like, I don't think it needed to be LAX because the interior was not LAX. I will say, though, LAX has 20 different interiors. So it could have been that remote terminal that I go to. Mom said maybe it's that one that recently got redone. I was like, haven't been there. Not even that one. The one that, well, that, but also the one that I have to take the bus to. Well, this one was high tech.

It looked like that gym you were working out in. Okay. i was like i have been to this airport before but like i just couldn't place it it was um new orleans but i was saying i was like this would actually be the most la thing ever though to shut down an entire terminal and the whole front of the outside to be like so sorry uh travelers we're shooting a movie like that would be so fitting so sorry we've been building this new terminal for 20 years i don't know how long it's been i know it's been at least 13 doing it when i was first moved here they said there's gonna be done next year mott thought this

was like the grand reveal of the new terminal lax and i said no unfortunately this is not even in california so there we go uh but uh it was good of this movie it's really good i think you'd like it it's on i love how they just don't tell you what it's on immediately netflix okay it's good i think you're it would be like a whole like everyone would enjoy it doubt my mom would really she didn't like action stuff oh your dad would enjoy it as a fellow um daytime i mean not sorry not date i do also love daytime but as a fellow network procedural fan all he's been watching while i've been here is like gun smoke no things that came out when he was a baby things where I'm like too much talking about capturing Native Americans I just pulled up Gunsmoke and

there's too many men for me to watch yeah all these shows have too many men there was one episode where I don't it wasn't even Gunsmoke I forgot what it was but he was like yeah they just showed the first episode haven't ever seen this and I was like yeah because you weren't born i forgot which one it was um it'll come to me later but um i was like what why is this all we're watching right now this is all all he's watching is very old problematic things and i was just can can we watch something else because i hear it in my head all day long so i tell months that when he wants to watch those i go you can totally watch that that's a small screen viewing experience that's something where you can put your airpods on and you can

watch it on your phone you are not i don't i don't want that as background noise i don't even want that as like visual screensaver in in the ambience i don't want that like no no no unless there is three or more main character women doesn't have to i'm not even saying you have to pass the bechdel test they can be talking about men they can be whatever but like i need i need us to follow some of these women home you can't just have that me see only see them in the workplace or only see them when you invite them on dates you can have that in the background otherwise keep it on the phone one that he was watching the other day where everybody in town was shocked that there was a woman doctor that worked with animals they didn't even say veterinarian a lady doctor a woman doctor

i don't even think they were saying ladies at the in this point in town in the wild wild west they wanted to take females yeah it's a female doctor yet we weren't there yet but they'd say it now if it was now female doctor what breed is female is it a human i was like how can you watch this stuff but maybe one day in the future i'm watching like new girl and they're like and the grandchildren are like what are you watching that would be crazy i know i don't i wouldn't be able to handle that that would be it's gonna happen i know i just hope that like the shows that like the kids watch are ones that i can stomach because i know that like i not to brag i've always had fantastic like taste like i can go back and watch things that i loved as a kid

and they're still really good and like my dad like he liked what i would watch like i liked as told by ginger he loved as told by ginger like i wasn't watching like the animation some people really didn't like it wasn't even that it was i wasn't even really watching it i would hear it because melanie would be watching it y'all are closer to the same age so yeah she would be watching it i was like these children are annoying as fuck well of course there is not a show about children specifically animated children where one or more of them is not absolutely obnoxious doug unfortunately who's the girl on tongue because i was like no she was like cool oh i'm thinking of hey arnold yes hey arnold but if you think about hey arnold a lot helga pataki if you

think about hey arnold also pulled that straight from the dome no she came from a very abusive household so no no i know it was incredibly stressful yes that's not what i want my only female characters to be annoying and also annoying because they're traumatized we really think about her she wasn't annoying she was just projecting and she was searching for love in the wrong places so she had to be a bully because she couldn't really accept love but she was in love with arnold much like angelica from rugrats yes because she had a workaholic mother my favorite character from rugrats though is obviously cynthia or like emma cynthia that used to be my ringtone cynthia she's a really cool dancer but is she really a character she's just a doll yeah but

i'm addicted to that song and without cynthia the song would not exist and then wasn't emma because the pop star because that's why i named my barbie like actual characters do you like reptar too i really wanted that reptar chocolate rip rip bar that looked so good reptar chocolate did look good emica rugrats yeah emica is my other favorite character she was the pop star and i did name my favorite barbie after emica i'm on the rugrats fandom.com suzy was the best character obviously her she had the best outfit she had the best hair best parents farne way the best i don't know if you remember watching the first episode where she was introduced she was always there for me in my mind yeah she no she was introduced she came i think a

couple years later because she moved in and her parents her mom's a doctor her dad is a tv show writer and phil is that stew phil and lil yeah stew like walked in the house and mom was like are you the plumber or something like that i was like i love this reverse reverse some may call it reverse racism i call it reparations yeah as it should be yeah no i loved her i also like oh god i loved um i loved the rugrats in paris movie it doesn't mean sob it's sad it's very sad also the just rugrats movie where we got take me there i want to go there take me there let's go there oh my gosh you don't know this song it's one of the best songs ever it's maya oh i'm thinking i do know god i i could watch i could do a double

feature rugrats and rugrats in paris did you watch the wild thornberries no can't do it it was on the background it was another background show that's a horrible background noise show because yeah exactly and like unless you see it match the visual it's like this is so foul like it is just it's grating to the ears but i loved i also i really enjoyed that but i would get stressed out i didn't like shows that were stressful did you like rocket power of course in california rocket power was cool they were yeah i monsters are real monsters uh ah real monsters yep are real monsters that one no visually i feel like now if i did it i watched it while high i would enjoy it immensely they have one of the monsters literally carries his

own eyeballs in his hand no it has that has the same vibe and the same feeling it elicits from me as courage the cowardly dog which is sheer i don't even know what that is oh melissa it's a horror cartoon for children melissa he lives in hell i'm not kidding it's literally the most oh oh okay horrifying this is a cartoon network show i don't think anything on cartoon network should be viewed by children without parental wasn't recess on cartoon network no recess was on abc saturday morning cartoons baby but also what um powerpuff girls not that i was allowed to watch that shouldn't be watched by children unless supervised by an adult they were regularly just beating the shit out of people and that's why i wasn't allowed to watch it because it

promoted violence and good luck because i still now i'm an adult who promotes violence and it's not even that i watched that growing up it was who i am to my core but yeah it's um what does they say an anxious dog who lives as an elderly couple in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere a fictional town in kansas but it is like hell in each episode he's turned repeatedly bizarre frequently disturbing and paranormal super adventures yeah yeah when you when i looked it up i did recognize it um because i thought that the um is it a grandpa a dad i thought he looked like hey arnold's grandpa yeah you know what i like what made mott's watch like probably an hour worth of clips of is just the proud family and like compilations and it's rare that you could

find a show that's targeted and made initially for children a compilation video of the best like jokes or bits from it and show it to someone who is into their 30s as an adult who has never seen it before and he was still laughing like that's how you know the show is like actually good it's not just like the nostalgia like oh i did love this like i remember watching this because there's some that i'm like yeah i'm not gonna make someone watch or show someone and i'm not delusional enough to think that like i love it for anything other than like the memories and the nostalgia but that one is actually just sugar mama is so fucking funny sugar mama looks exactly like my little mama my grandmother because she was like four nine at the same hair i love that like

uh loaded up her she like stole a bunch of stuff from target who was an influencer and was like filming it she got arrested for it again during this holiday season where it was like a couple weeks after and like she so it was recently like why would you do that during the holiday season they are extra looking for people that are stealing shit but she like girl you also just got caught right like what not smart no no no no no no um i do wonder if there's like you know how like they're they've realized that now ozempic uh and i think they're doing trials of it has been helpful for people in like not like an off usage for it like and it was just kind of like a side effect for people who were also struggling with alcoholism it like curbed

those cravings and that stuff like it silenced that voice so they're like looking into it for addiction and like if it works on opiates like that could change so many things um and that would be great but i wonder if there's like because like being addicted to like stealing or uh gambling or whatever like it fires off that like part in your brain and i wonder if like that will end up being another off-label usage for it is for like an impulse uh impulse kind of thing because is there a way for them to isolate that part of it that where it takes away the appetite suppressant well i think that's what they're trying to figure out is because like what it what people have said that it does is from like a mental standpoint like physically it is an

appetite suppressant but then mentally it like silences that voice in your head especially for people who i mean i think most people have a food voice in their head and a body voice in their head and so like it silences that and like that's insane and so they then i think the people who also happen to be struggling with alcohol realize that they didn't have that voice for the alcohol there either and so i think that's what they're studying now is to see like what aspect of it is doing that and like can we pertains isolate that because i think most of the side effects and i could be talking out of my ass i do think most of the the negative side effects people experience from it are physical ones that are in regards to the specific aspects that are to lose

weight and like it's like digestive kind of stuff and yeah that and so if they can get rid of that part that would be epic like that would be so fucking cool it would be amazing but i think that's like really cool and i'm i'm not an ozempic hater i mean when it first came when people were first using it for weight loss use we both spoke out about it because there was a shortage because well i'm a med spa hater and i'm a med spa hater to my core but now it's not it's in where there's an abundance of it now so it's not a shortage for people that have um diabetes yeah and like that's what i'm i'm all here parties for ridiculous no not into that and i'm also not into the fact that like you know being able to you know not have it run through a provider in the same way like i'm

not even into people going to get Botox at a med spot because like you can die and then you don't have people there that know how to take care of it medically no and like even if they do you don't have people who are confident in having done that enough like I'm you know when a doctor does it if something goes wrong they can immediately get to a hospital or they can start doing um care first responder care while they're there into until like a paramedic arrives so yeah and it's not like one of those things where it's like oh i have to think back to my schooling days it's like they're still using those skills all the time so like yes i'm not a fan of that aspect of it and i'm also not a fan of people just commenting on people's like posts or instagram being like oh my

god hit by the olympic and i'm like okay this person might just have an eating disorder like right or they have both and like it's just like such an odd thing to be like oh dunked on you for that i'm like okay so people were saying that to i won't even say the actor's name but um they just heavily photoshopped their pictures they weren't because i saw them same night videos and didn't look like that so some people have photoshop or uh what's the app on the phone facetune too much facetune so let's not comment yeah just be a facetune addiction exactly like i'm just like it's you know it's not always so uh obvious and also i'm just imagining at some point someone is going to comment just say like no i'm incredibly ill like or no i just have an

eating disorder and then it's like do you feel silly how do you feel now okay so i did find my 2024 predictions okay on my notes app and i read it i don't know this time a couple weeks around this time give or take a few weeks last year so i would like to read it out loud and we can figure out together if what came true or if we need to research to see if anything came true okay so first one is mila and ashton divorce now i honestly think that it is we're in the process of it i don't they're together forever like i think they may be just two people that are perfect for each other yeah in a very specific way aren't they moving out the country i don't know but i will never forget her face in the like i just i've been seeing him do like um

good photo ops of like him like doing valets like hundreds of dollar bills like facing outwards so they can like see like the paparazzi can see how much he's like tipping them or whatever and i haven't seen her as much and so i'm like i haven't seen either of them there i guess they're is not on my radar but i did hear about this uh this is from yahoo entertainment like yahoo.com and it says fans are wondering why ashton kutcher and mila kunis are planning to move to europe this was after reports about the same propped up online in light of kutcher's association with the highly controversial sean diddy combs hitting the web and accusations and criticism being flung at actor not long after wait he has diddy relations i guess so wow this man has stayed pro yeah and

it looks like uh in touch weekly also reported on this and then ashton's so exasperated that once again he's being dragged through the mud because of his past associate associations of source claims also bringing up his past associations with danny masterson do you think he'll write a character letter for diddy you might already have yeah i don't know i i i'm still holding out for that okay you still got we're recording this on december well i say that as if this doesn't come out tomorrow as if there's going to be a big difference oh you're right i keep forgetting that too um then the next one is someone will be murdered on the nine month cruise or we're going to have another one of those people who like blows up the bathroom plain

shit it's going to be wild now this one is a little dark because i'm pretty sure someone did die it's wild how this was such a big deal um at the beginning how people were um becoming tiktok famous off of it and then they just had to stay there they they just got bored after like people people on the cruise and also people that were viewing it we're like we don't care anymore no that was the craziest part is that like i do feel like as an audience we got bored first and i was like picturing them going imagine how we feel imagine how we feel like you can't just like stop tuning in now like and like it's wild and obviously the first passenger who died february so it happened pretty quickly it was two months afters yep um also i don't know if

you heard about the cruise ship that's gonna be four years oh melissa i've been getting ads on instagram targeted because they said we think you'd be interested in this because they're touting it as being away during trump's presidency and don't forget they also have a two-year which they then call the midterm plan that you yes yeah and to me this seems like a trap to get democrats on and then do something with the ship who's gonna be on the ship that's my question i go what who's it what do you mean i'm feeling like we're gonna have it's gonna turn into like an l ron hubbard uh we're gonna have a mixer with the scientology cruise and then you're gonna get in there and then you're never getting off and i i did i looked at it just because melanie sent it to me i do not

want to be on a cruise period point blank but it does cost less than my actual living expenses are when I saw that I said well shit you can't also buy a lifetime membership condo kind of a thing or whatever and it's like and you can go however much you want to in a year and I'm like okay for sure that's not a lot it's honestly zero is how much I want to go in a year and so they're like as your retirement plan I'm like at sea my retirement plan is the sea no no you can't do that for like nobody can do that for eternity even just looking at looking at the people from the nine month cruise their early videos versus when they were getting off the ship scurvy a lot of them look a lot different like no everyone looks anemic scurvy and like traumatized yeah

and a lot of people like bailed before the full nine months anyway as they should I should and i think they should have expected that i feel like they must have anybody sharing a room with like a sibling during all that time good god no i think so many people probably got divorced i think i think there needs to be a documentary i was just about to say that like i would have i would love to see that like what happened to you before and after i wish it was a reality show yeah confessionals i mean that's pretty much uh what was it real no semester at sea shut up they did a real world for semester at sea yeah i mean it was like it was for years like they would there would be a whole semester at sea that they would do was it real real or road rules

wait that's actually crazy because i know so many fucking people who did semester at sea and nobody told me about a reality road rules yeah it was road rules semester at sea they did oh look eight seasons.

know i'm good completely forgot about it me too until i read it so and that's probably they probably use one of those uh men in black things to clear a memory yep well it's not very much like this next one elon loses the twitter password that did happen at one point where he fired the people who whatever and like twitter was down for like what 24 like it was something not long enough yeah and it was that so that is i think an equivalent i would also like to make this my public statement fuck you nicholas jonas because musa and you know i have been a nick girl my whole fucking life happened he quote tweeted elon musk parentheses positively yesterday or day before yesterday i'll read it to you elon musk quote

tweeted the tesla silicon valley account when they posted wait everyone thought elon was doing the brand of tesla and he shouldn't be involved in politics tesla is up 100 percent since donald trump won and it's a screenshot of elon musk and the decline of tesla basically being like that how that that didn't come true or whatever and he quote tweets that saying my how the tables have turned and he used a gif of the jonas brothers when they are like turning a table they did a bit this is forever ago and nicholas jonas quote tweeted it with take us to the year 3000 with a picture of elon musk pointing his finger i wrote down the submersible happens but it happened in space i do think that happened quite quickly um but i don't think that they went on it

they like planned to go on it and then they said actually but there is that it's not a submersible because it's the actual it's actual nasa but those astronauts that are stranded there and they keep extending and they're like don't worry about it let them out they don't have enough dip and dots for this shit uh another ted bundy movie no but i will say i do think the menendez brothers does suffice in the sense of sexy murder that i'm you can always count on ryan murphy i was gonna say i'm not discounting that i think that uh i think we've said sometimes violence is the answer you know i i stand by that um i i think the uh sexualization of that was no and that's the same vibe of the ted bundy movies um andrew garfield gets a girlfriend or has a baby and

it's zane 2.0 so this did happen what does it mean by zane 2.0 um when zane has dated like anybody publicly it was i mean sorry no no it's when zane left one direction and it was like an absolute like sobbing crying hysterical like we're never gonna be the same um andrew garfield did have a girlfriend but it was only mostly public after they had broken up she was a witch and she is selling i think courses probably through fiverr about like how to find a partner and um it worked for her to have andrew garfield for like a point in time and so like i think that people should try it out um chicken shop date with oprah or megan markle i'm still holding out on both of those yeah i mean that that is a goal she she had a year she had a great year

her chicken shot date with andrew garfield was great um there will be another war movie of course that has been tenfold yes um club chalamet is in jail or pivots to pedro pascal or jacob boulardy so i did look up they have only one tweet about pedro pascal and they have Only one tweet about Jacob Elordi. So, did not come true, but... Is she still tweeting about... Well, of course, because Bob Dylan, the movie. And, you know, that is of her era.

Next. Zach Bryan will be canceled. That's fucking crazy. There's, as you have also said, there's like three of them that have the same name. and i don't know which one that is he's the melted lego he was just like was blowing up in country music and everybody was obsessed with him i had zero knowledge of this man i know nothing about him i don't know about it didn't know about his personal life i knew nothing other than the fact

that like all the worst people you know were absolutely fucking obsessed with this man and then he started infiltrating my playlist because he did a duet with casey mass graves and i said no no no no no i have not sought this out because i don't like the people and if you liked his music i don't know maybe i maybe i don't know if i dislike you but like the people i knew personally who were like oh my god love him i was like yeah no and everybody was touting him as like oh my god like he's he's the the progressive version of morgan wallen and i remember looking up one time to like find his politics and i go you mean he just hasn't totally came out as a republican so that's why he's like like no um and so he got canceled in such a huge way this year so what

happened um he uh was emotionally abusive and i think physically abusive to like all of the people he dated he paid off that girl 12 million he tried to pay off a girl 12 million dollars to not talk about their breakup um he is horrible he like got on twitter and was you know being pro kanye and like all this like horrible stuff and then was like sorry i shouldn't like drink and tweet again and like he's just like said and done horrible things he was his first wife um who was married to he served her divorce papers while she was deployed which is great so much happens in white news that just skips right on past me this is the tangential like my for you page will be people talking about this oh my god so i've seen this everywhere and i go have not seen this

we'll hear this in passing from that side of um that side of my people where it's like okay it's the same way i get reality tv news from other people who watch it and so that's where like on my for you page and i was like okay cool i'm learning about this has never he has never naturally come across anything the only time was when he did that fucking do it with casey musgraves um then we have a new casey musgraves album which did happen and it was great and i loved it um i said jensen mccray will get noah cond which is uh did i say mccray still don't even know what you've been talking about this is the same it's too late for noah khan melissa yeah i don't even remember you talking about it during this point in history so i i don't know and i

don't want to know like i said you would love white news i don't know what's going what happens in white news noah khan is white news jensen mccray is not white news she is white people do love jens mccray jens mccray is not white she does make sad girl coffee shop music she has the most gorgeous beautiful tone to her voice and she is blowing up on tiktok now she has like rapidly increased in followers since the last time and guess what this bitch opening for noah khan so i do feel like that one was pretty fucking accurate um then i said rachel zegler will have her redemption arc and it's happening i love it for her wonderful people finally were like oh maybe we shouldn't hate this literal teenager for doing a role that she was

cast to do and paid to do and making commentary about, you know, modernizing aspects of it. And people are like, she should die. And now they're like, you know, maybe we are being a little too harsh. So yes. I haven't heard one thing about her since that happened. Oh no. She's people. She did. She did the new hunger games movie and a new hunger game movie. Well, yeah. Cause you're a divergent girl.

Actually, I did know because the only reason I did know is because people were asking Jennifer Lawrence if she would return to the series. And I was like, why are people talking about this? Oh, so that makes no sense considering this is like a prequel like hundreds of years, not hundreds, but like she was not alive in this. I just didn't understand why people were talking about it. Oh, why it was coming back out.

There was a new one. But even with that, I didn't hear anything about the movie itself. you might have seen the red carpet styling hunter shaffer wore the most fantastic like looks it was giving um the same vibe as zendaya and the mugler dune bodysuit kind of thing like she's wearing one that like literally had wires and like butterflies coming off and like everybody trying to pose with her was like and she was like sorry like she the fashion was impeccable i saw far more about hunter's like styling for it than i did about the movie i still haven't seen was it good i haven't seen it yet i should see it also your meter wow it's actually incredibly rude

because here's the thing that movie if it's bad bad movies though but not like there's certain genres of bad movies that i like a bad action movie i like a bad rom-com but like is a hundred games not an action movie it's like dystopian why like why a kind of a and the original hunger games was not good so like if like twilight made a new fucking movie and it was rated 20 i said fucking winner perfect if it was 90 i would say no but if hunger games which like critically is well received and to me that's like a 90 if i saw a hunger games movie that had been 20 i go no no that's the wrong that's the wrong the ratios have to match okay um and then the last one uh unfortunately is the biggest l of this whole list because it's

actually quite the opposite actually no it's not because i wrote this with positive connotation in my head but how it's written does not have positive connotation it's pretty straightforward so i actually think this does achieve and i wrote the year of james marston and it was because james marsden did in fact also have a character letter that he released for um one of those nickelodeon uh uh pedophiles and um it was the quickest fall from the most random spike in anyone's long time career that i think i've ever seen he was like everyone's like he's gonna be doing so many things jury duty absolutely blew up like all of this stuff and then immediately this came out afterwards and then it's been close to radio silent so even though i wrote it with

positive connotation i guess it still technically came true okay and i think this is pretty good like pretty well predicted list and also like aside from the fact that i wrote another war movie most of this is very specific so i feel good about it and then we'll think on our next one good job megan i'm actually very nervous to predict next year because um who knows yeah i look forward to sharing there won't be a new episode of fisting friday next week because we're taking a little holiday break but we will be back in we don't know yet we'll be back eventually we'll do some we'll do some replay episodes some good ones i i know last time when we did replay

episodes i released um part one and part two of the blueys i saw that so um i'll dig into our archive yeah stay safe out there everybody don't get into don't get into too much shit and if you do get into shit call the podcast you know stay away from co-workers yeah we'll talk more about that on don't blame me but yeah stay away from your hometown uh exes unless again here's the thing make good choices and if you're not gonna make good choices include us in the rest of it then yeah don't make good choices and then keep it to you don't make bad choices and then keep it to yourself that's like falling and nobody is around and so you're like i kind of wish someone was there to see that because otherwise now i feel even more dumb so yep that's it stay tuned

to my but am i wrong for more on that oh okay i love that another prediction for you unintentional we'll see you on monday for a brand new episode of but i'm wrong tuesday for see you next tuesday you said but i wrong i heard it like in my mouth like i felt it in my mouth but i wasn't sure if it actually came out i do that all the time where i go did i say it like that or am i just did i just blink out for a second yeah yeah um and then uh thursday for don't blame me and then we're gonna do a little holiday break but there'll be other there'll be older episodes for us to tap into and um please listen we love it we do and remember you can watch these on spotify and youtube oh buy our merch too like this oh yeah it looks so good this one feels very collegiate to me
