welcome to but am i wrong you know who's not wrong today you me you know who's not wrong today
you it's really less convincing because i'm i'm a little all over the place it's okay at least
you're dressed why would you expose me like this when you exposed yourself fair i was nude on um
we obviously like we uh block record block shoot these episodes so you might have heard if you
listen to our bonus episode on
Tuesday.
Our See You Next Tuesday episode.
I was dealing with a hot flash.
So on this episode, no, on this podcast
we felt like
the world needed this podcast because
as two people who are never wrong
what is the next logical step?
To put a microphone in front of
our faces and tell the world.
Because if men are going to do it
so can we.
Hurrah!
This episode is broken up into two
different segments we will get into each of them before we obviously hop into them but just know
that like the overall theme of the show and if you were the right audience you you would know that
because you love gossip but not mean gossip like you love cunty things but you want to make sure
you're ethical about these things that you're consuming you want to trash talk people but like
the people who deserve it and you want to complain and bitch about things that are completely
inconsequential but there's a like a levity and a humor there that's who this podcast is for and
i have to say that like what i just described is my perfect kind of friend if you don't fit into
that and you're like no no no kumbaya positivity like this isn't for you no we are not hand-holding
skipping through a field we're doing that if we're doing it like it's because like there's a great
song in the background like i'm having a main character moment but we're just not those people
no I don't know if anyone's described me ever as earnest like if someone was like which queer
eye guy are you no one has said I'm Karamo and that's why Karamo has two reality shows where
he helps people's life and we've got podcasts we've got four so many so so many all right
should we get into our first segment yes but should we tell them the most exciting part about
this podcast I mean I guess well with that attitude I think you need to puck you need to
Puck up?
Buck up.
Buck up, bucko.
Share with the class.
Let them know.
I hear puck up.
I think like my butthole puckering.
I think of puck from Midsummer Night's Dream, you fucking freak.
She's nasty.
She is.
It's because she recently just took a shift.
I did.
An afternoon, like, honestly, afternoon delight.
So happy for you.
It could not be me.
I wish I could.
I'm usually a morning.
You know, some people like can poop before they go.
like people like oh i need to go out like we're going out to like party out to a club like let
me take a shit if i could i'd be unstoppable that's amazing an evening poop never and if it
is it's not a pleasant one and it was not my choice all right so the to megan the best part
of the show is uh that you get to vote and so we post on our instagram on friday's ish you've been
doing very well recently thank you so on fridays posts a poll with each thing that is presented
on this episode and then y'all get to vote and then on fridays we read those results on a show
that we call fisting friday and then we share things yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep it's a
great time all right let's get into our first segment and it is called but am i wrong and that's
when we melissa and megan pick things from our own lives that we may be wrong about it could be a hot
take it could be something that happened to us or it could just be a rant so we're recording this
on february 4th but you were hearing this if you listen on the day that it comes out and you're not
in new zealand um you're hearing this on february 16th which is my birthday i just need you like
everyone to know that like i have friends that like their parents like all fucked in the same
time period and then had their babies all within like a three-day range that's wild yeah i'm excited
to hear what you have to say about okay your hot takes birthday hot takes it's a hot take pertaining
to my birthday okay and it's that i should be able to celebrate my birthday however the fuck i want
to well she is because you're making us have a fucking pe class for her goddamn fucking birthday
so the last time i properly celebrated my birthday was february 16th 2020 and then
darkness covered the earth masks covered our faces yes as soon i mean when i was when my
friend sarah shout out to sarah doubt she's listening when she was driving me to the airport
in portland it was like we were listening to the radio and they were talking about it and
sarah's a doctor and she was like i don't know i mean it could be something i don't know
and i was like i don't know either but then i got home and researched and i was like i do know now
and i can stop talking to him and saying oh i guess it is real i mean last year i was going
to celebrate but then i got a lot of work yeah that was your birthday bonus yeah and so i got a
podcast that lasted like two i mean not a podcast an audiobook that lasted two weeks with me
fat check and so then we didn't do anything and so this year i'm like it's time to celebrate
she's fucking back i'm back 2021 i spent my birthday in isolation yep 2022 i spent it grinding
getting a bag now i'm done grinding like for real like with life you're in your soft not even just
like this month i just mean as you you grinded i grinded i ground i mean like i feel good about
where i am in life i'm taking a whole bunch of trips this year she's shaking her ass on a fucking
yacht yes like i am living it up and i told everyone at the beginning of the year like
this is me getting back into my childishness uh-huh i'm going to start as soon as i get my
inhaler when i get diagnosed when she finally gets diagnosed with asthma when she without a doubt
fucking has i'm getting back into gymnastics like when i was a kid i am gonna start playing tennis
gonna i guess i could play golf now i don't really need to inhale it for that
but i'm doing that i'm taking swim classes i am just being carefree and loving life
and so for my birthday as i said last week i'm going i'm having a field day definitely playing
dodgeball and then some other things are in the works and a couple two or three people said to me
yeah you're doing that but like what else are you doing like you got to dress up and go do
something like that's just that's like you can't do that for your birthday why the fuck not what
are you supposed to do i am a bougie bitch like yes i do like to dress up sometimes but i also
like to be a fucking child i'm retweet go off i'm multifaceted yes you know i'm a chameleon
i'm a shape shifter people are interesting too i love doing a variety of things and just because
i am doing something that's bringing me a lot of joy physicalities probably a lot of pain too
and probably and a lot of humor yes because i mean there's like a few people like still in
their 20s like you maybe two or three but everybody else is 30 plus there's a few people
that are 40 plus and it's gonna be pain and i'm i'm gonna have the time of my fucking life
and i can do my bougie shit some other time and i am going to be doing my bougie shit other times
but it's my birthday and i get to do whatever the fuck i want to do and anybody that has a
problem with that don't come or and don't talk to me the uh target and dodgeball yeah just because
you're hot doesn't mean you can't also participate in pv class right like you can be both hot people
are interesting too yeah it was me arguing with people like i can't put one person i want you to
go to go to fucking delilah like dress up and go to dinner or something go i can dress up and go
to dinner any fucking time no the whole dressing up like if i'm gonna dress up and look hot like
Like, I love dressing up and looking hot on my birthday.
But like, unless it's like Vegas,
the experience I'm going to have is relatively the same
any day of the week.
And we can do that any time.
Like, I don't need to.
Birthday is a mindset.
Right.
I don't need to do that.
And I also just, it's just too much.
And it makes me overwhelmed
when everybody has to break up tickets and stuff.
And then also, I know a lot of people
and i don't want everybody i don't want to spend a meal with everyone and a meal with everybody but
also when you have like a big group you can't even you only talk to the three people that are
around you can't even talk to everybody no i'm a big believer and it's like 10 or less that's the
only number of people who can go yeah to dinner 10 or less and 10 is still a fucking lot yeah so
fuck you the three people that told me and you can kiss my black ass and i'm gonna be shaking my ass
on a dodgeball court and later i'll be shaking my ass in vegas i'm gonna be shaking my ass in
chicago i'm gonna be shaking my ass in the dominican republic i'll be shaking my ass in
new york like i'm going places this year and i can shake my ass worldwide
and if you would like to shake your ass along with me cool but that's not what i'm here for
i'm here for my own self-enjoyment and you can shake your ass on a dodgeball court like i said
that's what I'm saying
like
don't discriminate
in the locations
and the locales
of where you shake your ass
like yeah
what do you have
against shaking your ass
on a dodgeball
like what did dodgeball
ever do to you
exactly
I mean
personally dodgeball
has done a lot to me
but I'm
I'm fucking excited
and I think this is a great
like a great idea
for I mean like
Motz thinks it's like
the most genius idea
he's ever heard
great
so
I'm looking forward to it
and everybody
because it is Melissa's
official birthday
if you're listening to this
on the day that it comes out
go wish her happy birthday and follow her on all of her social media you can't follow me on tiktok
though that's shut down are you gonna bring it back yet after the grammy after the grammy
that's fucking funny um so my well you're not wrong but my rant is kind of somewhat tied to
that not based on your birthday but childlike things again and this might not have been
pertaining or relating to anybody else's childhood but my rant here is we need to bring back treasure
hunting oh i'm like why the fuck did we stop like treasure there's fucking treasure out there like
what the fuck did we why did we stop looking for you know why we stopped i don't want to get into
like fucking history and shit i want to talk about no no quicksand oh shit i'm sorry big
quicksand they wanted to stop us from finding fucking treasures they were like be careful
there's these little fucking pockets that are sucking you up and we got to figure out how big
milk and pig printer involved like because big printer doesn't need to print those treasure
maps right all right no like here's the thing so i grew up in california norco and the uh gold rush
that was like a big big thing of like our elementary school curriculum to the point where
we went to like gold rush county and we stayed overnight there everyone's like parents are doing
role play of like it's like a fucking renaissance fair but like for that time period and we got in
the river and i'm there with my little like little sand in little thingy and i'm scooping shit up and
i'm looking i am searching for this gold i'm not finding it but i'm like this has to be a fluke
i'm like i gotta fucking find it i'm in my backyard as a kid i'm digging i'm at the beach
I'm seeing these like people who've got those little metal detectors and they're going to find
gems. They're going to find jewels. I'm watching the most underrated rom-com of the 2000s,
Fool's Gold. I think the reason why that movie didn't blow up is because they want to stop us
from experiencing the magic of treasure hunting because they don't want us to hunt for treasure.
We need to start finding treasure. Like there's treasure out there. And like, we're just like
sitting here living our day-to-day lives, our nine to fives, corporate jobs. And there's just
treasure on that's a fucking buried just screaming for us to come find it like why don't we do that
shit anymore sounds like this we've got your birthday plans this year when i tell you that
like i this has also like seeped into every fucking facet of my life i'm like i need to get
a fucking metal detector and just like walk around and find shit like that's so fucking fun that guy
on tiktok that does it no he's found some good shit i love that i love finding things i love
discovery found no he found no he's found a few weapons that have been like wrapped in tape and
stuff you're like i'm not getting my fingerprints on that shit so he immediately calls the cops
yeah that happened so like i just think that like even like i've looked up things of um people who
go in like oregon in certain places where they can like see by the rocks and they can find like
the geodes and all of that shit like or even people who are going foraging and they're finding
mushrooms they're doing all of that stuff like I think that's a form of treasure hunting and we
need to start bringing back treasure hunting in our day-to-day lives because if life is a video
game this shit is fucking boring like I need a side quest like I don't want my like if I was
playing like a board like a imagine I'm gonna say my life is relatively like different and fun and
exciting so I don't want to complain about that but like let's just say you work a corporate nine
to five job and imagine your life is a video game is it a fun video game no then you need a side
quest to find some fucking treasure. It's not like, oh, look, I'm making my character go get
coffee and they're getting in their car. They're sitting in their commute in traffic. They're going
to work. They're on Excel. They come home. They heats up some food and then they go to sleep.
Mine is like sitting in front of a microphone and then reviewing edits. That's what my my regular
life. I couldn't tell you what I do all day. I need to have a ring camera that's like facing me.
it's a little chaotic i just think that we need to bring back some of that excitement and i think in
the capitalist hellscape that we live in something that is driven by money and reward and prize
this sounds great i honestly think that we need to do this for your birthday i think so too
like and even even you think of like high school i remember we had like scavenger hunts that people
would do for shit like why did we stop doing that like that shit is fucking fun like imagine a
the right party but it's a fucking treasure hunt like you give me a fucking like people that have
like you give me one of those like wybram safari hats and like give me a little brush because you
and i all think it's a treasure hunt archaeology digs wow downtown la who knows what you'll find
there i don't know if they can guarantee that you'll find they're showing a picture of his
light out so that's good oh i agree with you we need to get back into being childish being
being childish i don't know what we look at kids and we go oh i wish i was like you and it's like
let's stop wishing let's just be more like you that's what my my friend was like i told her i
was like i'm going to be child childish and she said you mean childlike and i said no
ish because like i want to be in the shit i don't want to be like a child i want to just be a child
i don't want to adapt it for my adult life like no i want to like i want to get in the nitty-gritty
of that shit we just did activities i want to play with mud one time i was coming back from
portland and this woman had been on i would call in your words a scavenger hunt where she was
finding geodes and stuff oh and they were all in her backpack and you can't for some reason they
won't let you have that in you could probably use them as weapons because they're heavy yeah
and so she couldn't and then she was like they're sacred you can't take them out of my back
it held up everything i'm happy and i had accidentally left my water bottle like my
actual water bottle and then there was a little bit of water at the bottom of it and i forgot
that i had put it in there like that and so i was waiting for mine to come out of the thing
but i'm sitting here behind this woman that would not check her geodes so you mean to tell me that
You wanted her to part with her loot, her reward, the X at the end.
I just wanted to get through the airport and all I had to do was empty my water bottle.
She was holding up my quest.
That was my obstacle.
I got to say, if it was a video game, I'd rather play hers.
Yeah.
You know what's also a treasure hunt?
Robbing banks.
Yeah.
It is.
That's the ultimate treasure hunt.
Yeah.
Like, I just, we need to make life more like a treasure hunt.
Yeah.
I stand with you.
Thank you.
All right.
anyways we should take a break yeah we'll take a break and we will be right back
we're back from the break yes we are and you know what it's time for our second segment
but are you wrong in this segment this is where you are listeners write in with your
your issues the things happening in your life the stories the tales where you want to know
what's plaguing you at night is am i the hero or am i the villain and who better to ask than us
your own personal god somebody called us goddesses last in some episode and i intrinsically like feel
that to my core we are we are goddesses and we are also judges similar to judge judy we're here
to set you straight we are here to deliberate and to deliver your verdict i was like sentencing
we're not sentencing your shit we're sentencing you to join our patreon hey it's relatively cheap
we have it it's that was a that was a joke but it was also real so you should check out our patreon
if you want to submit yours if you want to bring it up to the uh council that's thank you thank you
i've not watched this view in a while you can email us your submission at but am i wrong pot
at gmail.com you have to keep it under 300 words it is all anonymous if you're going to use fake
names for people please use names don't use numbers or any other aliases like that it's a
little confusing and if you're going to reference something in pop culture or like a tv show and
Like, that's the characters you use as inspo.
We love that, but not to be too nitpicky,
maintain the similar relationships.
Because, like, when you tell me that, like,
you're Monica and then your brother is Chandler,
I'm like, why are you fucking your brother?
Right.
I just, like, I can't.
And Ross is right there.
Yeah, like, this is just not canon.
Like, I don't need it to be,
you don't need to send us, like, a script from Friends,
but make sure the relationships between said characters
make sense for the story.
Rot.
Rot, rot, rot.
If you would like to let us know your pronouns,
we do it.
love it amazing and please though we do require that you let us know what your age is and if other
people like in the story their age because age is just a number but it is heavily influenced in
where you are at your life and we're able to kind of deliver the best at that crossroad exactly
crossroads everybody million dollar question who wrote that movie I already know I know I guess
they can't respond to us but if you don't know I'm not gonna say who wrote it look it up right
now you got 10 seconds okay i know how fucking crazy i knew me too but like all right right in
number one hi i'm 25 they them and i have a spicy account where i make adult content been doing
online content for i think three years now and weirdly i've never felt sexier because in reality
i look like a hobgoblin or a tree monster that is fake i'm a tree monster i'm wearing green
and i'm taller than you but when it's just a mini photo set or a collab i'm like wow look at my
power bottom ass making these men beg for this pussy also yes i make sure they're tested
vaccinated with both covet and monkey pox and make sure to see when was the last time they got
tested because a bitch is scared even though no matter how protected you are these things happen
now i see two people subscribing to my account and i notice that they have recognizable faces
on their profile both from my high school one was a guy i was on a sports team with
he actually apologized not knowing it was me since my face is not on my profile
I did forgive him for that and the other my school bully the weird thing is on some posts he'd tip
me like 10 to 20 dollars as nice as that is I don't feel comfortable having him subbed my friends
are like no finesse the bully which I would five years ago now I weirdly got my adult brain
depression included but I also love money and I kind of need it since I'm taking a gap year in
college. So am I wrong for letting my bully still be subscribed and finesse the money even if I do
need the money to go back to college? I don't think that's finessing at all. I don't think
it's finessing. You're performing your duties for your job. You're doing your job and you're
doing it really well. Yeah and they bullied you but I hate I hate like this thing but it's like
You know, bullies sometimes see things in you that they're not yet able to express themselves.
And then they bully you because they're essentially jealous of you.
And maybe this is them making amends by, you know, sorry, here's an extra 20 bucks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think this is finessing at all.
Finessing is when you take in deception.
Yes.
You take advantage of a situation and you're not taking advantage of anything.
I don't even think finessing is just taking advantage.
I think it has to be like there's deception involved.
You're creating a situation to which it gains for your benefit.
And it also involves a little deception.
I would say that like a lot of things wouldn't be entirely legal or like ethical in that sense.
I don't think maybe finesse isn't what you meant to use because I don't think it applies to this.
But no, get your money, get your coin, secure your bag.
Gap year, fill in the gap with some extra money.
Yeah, like it's not like this person accidentally subscribed
and accidentally sent you $20.
And they're like, oh, that was an accident.
Can I get that money back?
Right.
First of all, if it was still your bully,
I'd be like, don't give the money back.
But this is like, this is a person who has subscribed,
wants to give you money,
and then is giving you money on top of that.
And all you are doing is your job,
which is just receiving the money.
Yeah, because you're not really doing anything extra.
They're just showing up for what you're already doing.
you have no i mean this context it sounds funny but like you have no skin in the game
in the sense that like you didn't put forth any effort because like my whole thing with revenge
is like it's never going to like the amount of time effort energy you put into like orchestrating
the plan the outcome the person's reaction it's never going to be what you have dreamt it up to
be but this it just fell in your fucking lap right or on tune in tomorrow
okay next up hi megan and melissa my friends sarah and molly and i all 22 she her are seniors
in college and booked a cruise for our spring break in march it will be the last hurrah before
we go our separate ways after graduation additionally we are road tripping back to
college because sarah wants her car at school and we are using my family home to stopping points
family homes okay you want something for a patron somebody's credit card doesn't have to be your
credit card that's fine you can reap the benefits that's finessing right we'll be living very far
apart after graduation so this trip is the last time we'll be hanging out together for an extended
period of time for the foreseeable future last night in our group chat molly said that they were
talking to a friend of theirs lily about the cruise and lily expressed they were interested
in joining molly they were interested in joining and molly wanted to see if i was okay with that
For context, Sarah and Molly are good friends with Lily.
I am just an acquaintance
and I've only hung out with her once
when I invited her to Sarah's surprise birthday party.
During this party, Lily talked the entire time
and I and others couldn't get a word in.
So this left a bad taste in my mouth about Lily.
I told Sarah and Molly
that I'd rather keep it just the three of us
because of it being so close to graduation.
They pushed back slightly and said
Lily doesn't have any other spring break plans
and that she wanted to at least join for the road trip.
I held my ground though
and said I would really rather keep it just the three of us.
And they said, okay,
am i wrong for being so firm about not wanting lily to come i really don't know her that well
and wouldn't want to spend an entire seven-day trip with her why are you looking at me like i
personally relate to somebody who does not stop talking the entire time i do i do yeah but do you
want to be stuck in the car with somebody you don't like no not at all but i'm like a little
impressed that you and your friend you and your two other friends you and sarah and molly have
like made it this long as a group of three like a group of three is like really fucking rough and
just hard so honestly on a trip like this like I even if I didn't like someone like if I wasn't
like that that close with them and I only met them once like it's not like she's like a raging
bitch she just talked a lot which I really do I would honestly probably rather that because
the idea that we can split two and two on anything no I feel like it'll turn into three against one
because right now it's two against one and then bringing the other person in is most likely going
to be on their side because it's not going to be on the writer's side that's fair if this is my
last trip and i i just i feel like i want to enjoy my time and sometimes there's just people you
don't like and people you don't gel with and if you don't gel with this person and then you're
going to be stuck in a car seven days with them i just don't think this is going to make for an
enjoyable trip for everybody yeah i'm a little we're curious how these are like you didn't you
just call them your friends I don't know if these are your best friends but how you've only met the
other friend like once college thing in college like friend group wise things tend to be like
I don't know because like maybe it is really that like you three are like bestie besties and then
Sarah and Molly have a class together and then Lily was in their class because if it's that and
like that's how they know her but like if you're considered like all three of you are best friends
and they have this other friend who's a good friend but you've only met once and you all go
at the same school then I'm like yeah I probably would be like nah because yeah they're not she's
not in your friend circle I feel like it's just because she doesn't have plans then they're
inviting her well that's what I mean I'm like so it then at this point if you're not friends with
her that's probably because you have it's not just because like oh I only met her once it's like oh
I've only hung out with her once because I don't really have an interest in pursuing a friendship
with her and I don't want that that's not going to start when we're on a cruise together it's not
like their friend from high school who you don't know as well i once went on a road trip with
somebody that i was friends with and then she invited people that she was friends with but i
didn't necessarily know and this girl was acting like she was like better than me be like oh you
have this nice thing to be from arkansas this bitch grew up in the sticks of arkansas like
she's from Arkansas but like Arkansas like Arkansas Arkansas and I'm like you've been in LA
two years and I'm like from another part of Arkansas like yeah I have I have nice things
like she would just it was just like these like little thing these little snide remarks that she
was making and I did not enjoy my time because it was with somebody I did not have I did not like
no that's valid i'd be like if she's coming i'm not yeah yeah i am not i'm really really not into
traveling in big groups i'm so not into traveling with people i like don't know well i'd always
rather be like oh we'll take an additional car and i'll go with like my a couple people i'm closer
with that's that would be great for me that i think that's the solution yeah somebody can write
with me somebody can write with her yeah even though y'all don't want to and is there somebody
else you'd want to invite like is like do you want to make this thing a bigger trip because
if you're not all in the same level it's probably not going to be as fun for her either yep and
again if your family has multiple homes and maybe they gave you a credit card access for their uber
account feel free to join our patreon it's a great time and this is giving money back into the
community shop local support women in business truly okay writer number three am i wrong for
asking my wedding guests to give me money instead of gifts no hey melissa and megan hey thanks for
putting me first i am a 26 year old female getting married this spring my fiance and i would like to
request our wedding guests to donate to our newlywed fund as opposed to getting us gifts
material objects my fiance and i live in a small apartment and simply do not have space for any
more things and do not need anything new we would however love to buy a house this year
on our wedding website where the registry can be found i want to put newlywed fun as the only gift
option with the description as your presence is more than enough but if you would like please
donate to our newlywed fun in lieu of gifts or something similar my mom thinks it's not
appropriate to ask people for money and says we should not do this. Am I wrong? Does wanting cash
instead of gifts make me an asshole? Is there a way I could word it differently that wouldn't
make me seem like an asshole? Thank you both so much. Love you both to pieces. Here's the thing
about wedding gifts. The tradition started because people would be living at home with their parents
and then getting married like you get married and then move out with your parent move out of
your parents home and you wouldn't have any so the wedding gifts were supposed to help furnish
your new home now in the day and age we live in most people live with their significant other
and are also later like not getting married straight out of household before you're fucking
getting married yeah and so you don't need things i don't i do not think this is bad at all like i
don't think there's anything wrong with it i don't think it's tacky i think that more people should
be doing this to be honest because who needs just an extra crystal vase a fucking baccarat i've never
been to a wedding that didn't have a baccarat butterfly on their fucking registry yes this is
practical it makes sense this is what we need buying a house is hard it costs a lot of money
it's a lot of down payments and shit I think yeah I think this is right as to how to word it what
you said sounds pretty good to me but I also send when I need to like have an email I send it to
Melanie to read over and then reword it for it to be nicer for me so I'm the wrong person to ask
about that but I think this is great and I've been to weddings where they do this yes I don't
disagree with you in theory but you need to look at who is attending your wedding and what your
background is I mean you didn't mention this specifically in like some cultures it is like
considered somewhat rude to just do a cash gift versus like a present but it can be in addition
to that, if you've got an older group of people, I'm going to tell you this right now, everyone
who's going to have bought you a gift is not going to donate to your, to your newlywed fund.
Like a lot of people like feel like, again, this is older people, older generations that like your
mom's feeling of it not being appropriate. Some people do believe it is inappropriate to kind of
give a cash sort of gift there because they don't think it's personal. And then they're not going to
money to your newlywed fund, they're going to give you something that you don't want without
a gift receipt. Like, so I think every wedding I've been to has both. They have some things that
are on their wedding registry. And here's this, here's the key. They're relatively expensive
things. There are things that you return with a fantastic return policy that somewhere you want
to upgrade your bedding. You want to get something that like, you want to change this or do this or
whatever that like, it's a, it's a blender. It's a Vitamix. It's, it's something that you could
use money down the road. You could even do like, you can write on them like Amazon gift cards for
us to like do something in our new house or whatever and contribute. People can contribute
money to those things. You don't have to spend that money there. They can contribute to a $100
Amazon gift card or a $500 Amazon gift card. And you can use that for something else later on.
But the thing is, is that like a lot of older people want to, they, they have this fantasy
and this idea of you making a banana bread in a loaf pan that they got you. And every time you
look at it, you think about them like, and it's not realistic. And every fucking person under the
age of 37, maybe 35 is going to donate to your fund. That's we always do always. We're always
giving cash. We're always doing that. And older people tend to want to give gifts. So my thought
process for this is if you have a good number of older people there who are your parents age or
older than that, pick like, I'm honestly going to say like fucking five, maybe 10 things, depending
on how many people you're inviting. Pick five to 10 things that are at places that have great
return policies that are things that you're like, you know what, like maybe we would want to upgrade
this maybe we would maybe this is a fund for quote-unquote a honeymoon fund that we can save
for this this and this those things can get bought up and then you see there that contributing money
to this other fund is there but I would say that like I would just manage your expectations because
everybody I know who has had weddings and has had wedding registries again all of the young people
gave money for a house fund and did all of that stuff some of the older people did it in addition
but people really wanted to give tangible items
and I don't agree with it.
I don't think it's great
but I also don't think there's anything wrong
with sticking to your guns
and being like, no, we're only asking for this
but I just wouldn't expect to have the monetary amount
you would have had in gifts
total the amount of money that you're going to be given.
That's true.
And I kind of want to go back now
that I've thought about it
as Megan was speaking with what to say.
I think maybe explaining like,
having a very nice tiny apartment yeah but yeah like explaining everything that a very nice
letter about like your intentions with if they donate money like we don't need material we don't
need i don't want to say material things the house is still technically a material thing we don't need
like a new whatever because like it just won't fit but you know if we have this home we can fill
with gifts later.
Make it pretty.
Make it pretty
and make it feel personal
in the sense of,
again,
you're not doing this
for your fucking college friends.
You're not doing this
for the people
who are around your age.
You're doing this
for the older people.
So like,
cater to them
what they're like.
I don't know,
maybe you grew up
in a certain religion
and you're like,
and we'd love to be
going back to this church
every Sunday.
make it,
make it fucking flowery
and make it pretty
because buying a home
is,
for all of these older people,
this is the people who are like,
just stop eating avocado toast and you can buy a home.
So there's a lot of people who don't really understand that.
And so they can kind of just be like a little resistant
to the idea that it feels like an exchange of cash.
But again, I don't know your background,
but if you can kind of make it to like,
in certain religions or certain cultures,
children, teenagers are given gifts at different life,
given monetary gifts at different life milestones
because they represent something.
So make this represent something.
Yeah.
Okay.
You're up next.
Hello, Eminem.
I am 26, she, her,
who is married to a 27, he, him.
Last night, my husband and I got into discussion
after telling him about my decision
to get a tattoo in a few days.
My husband got upset and felt that as his wife,
I should have let him know sooner.
I explained to him that I already told him months prior
about getting this specific tattoo
and ultimately felt like he doesn't necessarily
deserve to know since it's a decision that affects my body.
For context, we've been together for six years.
I had two tattoos prior to meeting him
and I've gotten two more since we've been together.
Every time I've told him about getting a new tattoo,
he's always questioned me about the decision
like it's an open discussion,
even though I'm telling him, not asking his opinion.
Frankly, his reaction makes me hesitant
about getting a new tattoo
and even more hesitant to tell him
when I decide to get one
because I'd rather just not deal with it.
I honestly don't believe he deserves to have an opinion
on whether or not I get a tattoo
or deserves an advance notice.
So am I wrong for not letting him know soon
about the decision that affects my body only and has nothing to do with our relationship,
please let me know your thoughts. See, here's the thing. This is where my brain goes. Well,
you're married. So I've got to filter through that. I think that like, unless your tattoo is
potentially offensive, I think like what you decide to do and like sharing things with your
partner that like, oh, this is something that I want to get. This is something I think is like
really cool you know I think anyone can have an opinion like I don't think that anyone everyone
needs to share their opinion but the same way that like a friend like I don't think anyone again
unless the tattoo is offensive I don't think it should be a I'm asking for permission I think if
you're getting an honor tattoo of somebody who is alive I do think you should if you're not sure you
should probably ask their permission if they're cool with you getting a tattoo for them about
them something like that if they're alive i think anybody wants to get a tattoo of me go for it you
know i am tattooed on someone's ass i know i forget about it all the time how are you how
you guys doing anyways if moths wanted to get a new tattoo does he have tattoos yeah it's so
fucking random he has two where i know he has one like here which i joke it's like fading they're
not good he doesn't love he does not like them um it's like fading and I was like you know it's
kind of funny it kind of looks like my name and he was like no and I was like what is it because
I've been with him at a pool I do not remember this tattoo it's like Melissa like when I tell
you it's like nobody knows he has tattoos even though like you can see them it's like like I
can't even tell you I'm like is he wearing glasses he's not wearing glasses like he's just like it
he is who he is so this is like I don't know something in fucking Swedish and then he's got
like a swedish family crest or something on his side actually i do remember that yeah it's because
it's blue that has like a little bit more color in it but if he like went and got a tattoo i
wouldn't be like offended he didn't ask my permission if he just totally surprised me for
it i would have been like oh my god like oh i wish i would have known like the excitement the showing
me like this is so cool like asking for my imp like do you like this one or take this one and
like offering suggestions that have nothing to do with getting it or not that's i think the only
like or like when I wanted to like get curtain bangs and like I was asking him what he thought
there was like I was never asking his permission but like I do value his opinion on do you think
you know me so well do you think I would like this do you think this would be something that
I would like continue to enjoy or be sick of but like if I was 100% confident in my decision
I would only share with him because like I'm excited to tell him yeah not not can I no no
absolutely not this is a red flag yeah i don't like this and i do not think that you're wrong
i think that your husband is wrong i mean like he can have again he can have opinions
they're negative opinions he doesn't necessarily have to share them but also you had tattoos
before you even got married so he knew that you had tattoos he knew that you were into tattoos
so he makes me mad and I really have nothing else to add yeah him saying he every time you
get a new tattoo he questions the decision that is like it's really not and I would say this to
him that like I don't want to like put anything in your head about like the state of your relationship
but like letting him know it's like questioning my decision making is not okay like I'm not asking
for your input like I'm really confident in the decisions that I made I would think that you were
confident too because I chose to marry you are you confident in that decision that I made right
like you fell in love with me and the person that I am and the person I am has made her own decisions
for the vast majority of my adult life and a lot I mean children make their own decisions all the
time like when you're putting my morals ethics like thought process like all of that into question
and thinking that you kind of need the final say and run by and just be like well did you think
about that I'm just like asking but that's why would you marry why would you marry me like what
are you attracted to with me in that like are you not attracted to my mind you're not attracted to
like the person I am and like the morals that I have and like the how I stand my ground about
these things because if he reacts negatively to that that to me is like a thousand and one red
flags but like if he has no idea that that's what it was representative of that's what he was doing
he was questioning your decision some people men specifically think that every conversation is an
invitation to share their opinions and you've made it abundantly clear that it's not but i think the
last in my mind the last thing i would do or the final thing i would do in this argument would be
like do you know what that means when you're questioning my decisions yeah because it's not
about a tattoo it's about questioning this but the fact that you said this makes me hesitant to get a
new tattoo because you just don't want to deal with this get your tattoo get a fucking sleeve
and a half i want you to get your whole thigh i love when oh my god like the big flowers gals have
their whole thigh done i'm obsessed i love it upset especially the ones that go up and they
go on the ass oh my god and then you can and you creep into tramp stamp territory
have you seen the ones with like big flowers and they do vines gorgeous absolutely gorgeous
i also think that men who don't like women with tattoos is a red flag again she had them when
before they got married so whatever yeah all right we're gonna take another break
we're back hi and now it's time for but are they wrong and that's when we pick somebody
from the world who has done something wrong yeah we have yet to nominate an extraterrestrial
we never would beam her up and find a ghost to fuck her while you're at it i don't know
why you keep trying to
I'm not. No, I'm here
for your alien ghost dick. I'm here to get
probed and penetrated
by a poltergeist. Yes.
So, this week
I
choose representatives
Carlos Gonzalez
and Judith Garcia
who are Democratic
Massachusetts lawmakers.
And a lot of the things
that I am quoting
comes straight from an article written by jessica hemzelu so these two lawmakers
have created a bill and they claim it would restore bodily autonomy to incarcerated people
but critics and myself i'm a critic too believe that it's unethical and it preys on desperation
of inmates because what it is is that inmates can donate their organs for less time i thought it was
an onion article when i first i was like there's no way that we blew this onion article up this big
black i've never watched this is the most black mirror shit in the world so organ donations are
currently allowed in u.s federal prisons but only if the recipient recipient is an immediate family
member. The proposed bill in Massachusetts is designed to establish a donation program
within the state's Department of Correction and nearly 5,000 residents in the state are on the
organ donation transplant list. And so there's a disturbing, this disturbing proposed change would
allow incarcerated people to swap their body parts for reduced prison sentences. One of the,
what they're calling a benefit of the bill, according to the people that wrote this,
is that it will broaden the pool of potential organ donors. It's true. I mean, it's true,
like that there is a shortage of organs available in the United States. There are more than
100,000 people who are waiting for transplants and 17 people per day die on the waiting list.
And so it may be true that having a surgery or a painful procedure to save another's life is probably one of the most like generous and selfless things to do.
But like at what cost are we putting people's lives like this literally puts like a price on people's body.
Yeah, you're not allowed sex work.
No, but you can tell your body this way.
Yeah. And the thing is, like people who this is like an example of something that's adverse to this.
People who donate kidneys are more likely to end up needing dialysis or needing to get a kidney themselves in the future.
It's also been pointed out that it is a it's vitally important that living donors understand and accept the risk.
So their decisions to donate is fully informed and free.
And so if you're asking a prisoner who is getting may get a reduced sentence because of this, this doesn't give them those same options because there's something else weighing on them.
It's literally like buying a buying a heart on a black market.
Like, it's the same thing.
Can somebody that's like in prison suffering and they're desperate to get out, are they really giving free consent?
No.
And so Jennifer Bell, who is a bioethicist at the University of Toronto, says that this is being framed as an incentive.
Would there be some degree of coercion involved?
By definition, coercion would imply there's some threat of harm influencing the person's decision.
There's no mention of that in the bill.
but spending an extra year in prison might be harmful for someone especially if there's a risk
of violence disease outbreak and dangerously hot conditions so like after you donate organs a lot
of times you have to go on medications and then let's say something happens at the prison which
there are outbreaks all the time and then now that person is even more susceptible to things
happening to them and then peter reese who is a nephrologist at the university of pennsylvania
says that like he works with a lot of people and people who are incarcerated might not also feel
like if they're being essentially pressured to give their body part for less time they not may
not be vocal about everything that's in their medical history because yeah when they don't
know this person so like they can't there's no like connection to it but two again there this
is like being forced upon them yep there are other problems with the bill apparently the goal is to
increase the living donations from people who are in prison and we know that most of the people in
prison are from vulnerable groups they um grew up in poverty subjected to childhood abuse and that
ethnic and racial minorities are over represented in the prison population and so just over 30%
of the inmates are Hispanic and 38% are Black and so this is essentially harvesting body parts from
Black and Brown people. If anybody had any question if the history of policing and jail
and criminal justice was rooted,
this is abundantly clear.
So it was organs and actually bone marrow too.
That's like painful.
So painful.
Here's my thing.
How about, hot take, we send less people to jail.
We'll have more living organ donors that way.
And quick little question.
Where do people who are currently incarcerated
fall on the priority list
for receiving organ transplants themselves?
That's a good question, Megan.
So let's say that your fellow inmate
wanting to donate to you yeah would that be able to be your first priority that's someone you know
that's someone that you have a relationship with and a bond with and that's someone who probably
knows maybe a little bit or a good chunk about your background and can make an informed decision
and be able to accept said organ knowing you and your life and what you've been through maybe any
prior health conditions and all of that and wanting to do an act of goodwill and then are you going to
get the best aftercare after that because the health care system in america is abysmal but
thing you'd have the health care system in prison yeah atrocious dentist visits like being able to
get pap smears like all of that shit like also i would say if we had comprehensive and universal
health care we would have less people who need organ transplants yeah that's true because it
gets to it wouldn't get to that point there's a lot of things that like people are born with
organs that aren't functioning optimally and you'll need multiple or single transplants in
your life but then there are things that come from lack of like regular health care and just
good checkups and doctors who like believe people yeah and all of that stuff like there's a reason
the reason why we have more cancer now is because we're catching cancer in earlier stages but
there's still people who don't catch cancer until much later on yeah another thing is like when you
donate you have to go to therapy and the therapist has to sign off from it and i can just smell the
corruption yep that's in here or even like the pre-op thing of like you need to be like away
from people for a while for this and then it's like so or then are you going to be getting
preferential treatment in the prison for x amount of time before then you get your surgery and then
afterwards like how are you going to be protected in that sense of like how often are you getting
health care checks and all of this like the amount of people who died at rikers and like now
you getting major surgeries i know just from something that i'm writing that like after a
liver donation you eight to ten weeks is the recovery yeah you can't lift anything heavy
you can't like get sick again you have to like be relatively not doing anything so then are
what are they going to do put them in isolation that's what i mean i'm like you have to live
like a lot of like for years even like some some organ donations it's indefinitely yeah both parties
have to live lead a low risk lifestyle prison is not low risk and like so then isolation so then
you're dealing with the mental aftermath of donating an organ and then you're going to put
you in a place that is like been proven to absolutely irreversibly destroy your psyche
yeah i hate this i hate this i hate it so much absolutely horrific it's vile like we will do
absolutely anything except reform reform quote unquote the democratic stance of reforming prison
and this these are democrats that wrote this bill and it's ridiculous this when democrats talk about
like we need to reform prison it's like there's there's nothing to this is a dumpster fire and
when the when your idea of reforming a dumpster fire if this is already so far in fucking hell
that this little adjustment is people selling their organs you should know that you're in the
bad place right like fucking lost cause with this shit it's her i can't it's so fucking horrific
oh okay i could talk about this all day but i'm so i can't with this your turn okay i
would like to nominate the makers and consumers of ai porn oh god have you heard about this oh yeah
So Brandon Irving, who goes by the name Aatroic,
here's the thing.
If I respected him, I would look it up,
but I'm not going to because this is his username.
So he posted a video of himself crying,
giving a quote-unquote heartfelt apology
as he admitted to paying for AI-generated
quote-unquote deep fake porn of fellow streamers,
Pokimane, Cutie Cinderella, Sweet Anita, and Maya Higa.
His girlfriend is also in the apology video, crying for who knows why, just in the foreground,
just some nice out of focus tears. So it all started when he was on Twitch live streaming
and he opened his browser and in one window, one of the tabs just had nude pictures of other female
Twitch streamers in it. So he's on Twitch and his audience is like, hey, what's that? Hello? Hello?
So in his apology video, he said that he was reading information and learning about artificial
intelligence online. But then he did admit that he was just on Pornhub when he saw a ad on the site
and then he clicked on it. And the site is subscription based. So he paid for the subscription
to access. And then he his quote is, I got morbidly curious and clicked on something.
It's gross and I'm sorry. It's embarrassing. And he added that his actions were not a pattern
of behavior. If you're curious, make it of yourself, but continue. So he was just not
another streamer to the specific. I'm going to I'm going to go specifically into cutie Cinderella
because she did a reaction and a response talking about this as someone who was subjected to this.
So he was just not another streamer. He was her close friend, close friend of her and her
boyfriend. She made his wedding cake and her boyfriend and him, her boyfriend and him and a
few other people started a company together just recently. And her best friend was another one of
the girls in the tab that was open. So a quote from Sweet Anita said, this story was how I found
out that I'm on this website. I literally choose to pass up millions by not going into sex work
and some random Cheeto-encrusted porn addict
solicits my body without my consent instead.
Don't know whether to cry, break stuff,
or laugh at this point.
Pokimane said,
stop sexualizing people without their consent.
That's it.
That's the tweet.
I want to scream, said Cutie Cinderella.
Stop it, everybody.
Stop fucking spreading it.
Stop advertising it.
Stop being seen naked against your will.
Should not be a part of this job.
She went on further telling in a video on Twitch,
which I would encourage anybody to watch this,
like everybody watch this video.
Specifically, we'll get into it.
I think a video that is very important to watch
that involves this video.
every movie tries to capture like female like rage and i'm like this is this is the fucking
rage of someone like i i watch it and i'm like we ride at dawn where the fuck do you want me to go
like i have goosebumps just like talking about it thinking about it like there's like this innate
response i think as women that we have that i'm like that no no no let's i'm will fucking
destroying that burn that shit to the fucking ground i mean i would encourage everyone to
wash it but she's she's suing she's suing the owner of the site uh in a second statement posted
a troic let's just say his fucking name brandon brandon let's go brandon uh brandon said that he
would help finance the cost of taking down the offending content and all the legal fees for the
streamers he also said that he'd be stepping stepping away from content creation and off
brand which is the content creation studio this is the last time you'll see me for a while i'd
rather you see my action i'll try my i'd rather you see my actions i will try my absolute hardest
to combat the damage I caused.
The individual behind all the deepfake images
has taken them down and replaced the website
with an apology
because they're now knowing
they're about to get their sued.
So even porn websites like Pornhub
have all banned AI and deepfake.
They advertise it all the time.
They need to ban the advertisements.
Deepfake technology,
which has been used to like use AI
to map someone's face onto somebody else's body
has been around since 2018.
porn hub has banned the practice saying that it's non-consensual but we all know the issue with
porn hub which again i don't have an issue with porn or porn a hub of porn nor the business
of people whatever but the issue is is that it's great that people can upload their own kind of
content but the issue is is that there's not enough filtering and there's not it's a lot of
automated systems, which is why things can kind of slip through those cracks there.
So I had heard, not rumblings about this, but like I follow some journalists. I had seen people
reposting this and sharing all of this. It wasn't until Ethan Klein from H3 did a video reacting to
QT Cinderella's reply video that I watched the video. And that's the video I would encourage
everybody to watch. I know that he's very popular online. I've like watched some things that he has
done. I would under no circumstance would consider myself a fan. I also like mostly prior to this,
because like anyone who's been making like five hour long flaw, like YouTube video podcast for
years on end, I cannot confidently say that I know what you've said and all of those things.
So I'm not about to align myself and saying I'm a fan of you. Like you've been talking to a camera
for hours on interrupted for years. And that rots your brain. And when you are hiring a bunch
of other men to work at your company, and then you have a fraction of women who are there and
my, like my heart goes out to all of them. And that's specifically why I think people
should watch this video because watching their reactions and the realization on their faces of
how the men that they work with are reacting to this is horrific. And like, I think every woman
who watches this knows we've all had that feeling of like, I'm not in a safe place. I'm not an
exception to the rule and you're not an exception to the rule. So she's sobbing in this video. Like
I can't stress enough how hard and painful this is to like to watch. Like this isn't just a video
of someone talking about something bad that's happened. Like this is like, this is like
incredibly emotional and really horrific. So Ethan played the video on his show. And as he watched
her sob and cry, he covered his mouth and smiled. And then the soundbite of chestnuts roasting on
the open on an open fire started playing. And some of the men even got up and walked off camera
because they were laughing so hard. They didn't want to be shown on camera. And then you just see
cut between the women who work there one is literally she's not hiding her mouth because
she's smiling she's hiding her face because she's mortified to be included in this and the other one
is when i say like you if i don't know if you have siblings or you could have been a teacher
that death stare that she's just looking straight like the the rage the absolute rage in that so
he starts laughing hysterically and then they they stop playing the music and then they just keep
laughing this is all like live their show so they have people in the discord responding and
talking to this and clearly people were like what the fuck and like we're pretty upset about it
so people are coming for the guy he has who like kind of runs the soundboard who like will insert
they like so the point is of what they do on the show i don't know if i don't think that you've
watched familiar yeah so they will have if anyone else is if anyone isn't familiar they will like
play little like audio clips that are like to make a moment funnier kind of like a oh
like but meme culture sort of things and so this chestnuts on an open fire has essentially and
correct me if i'm wrong this is just what i've gathered from all the information i've read and
heard people talk about on reddit and seen all these things that like it's like their current
like tiny violin of the moment so like that song specifically has been established in like
playing something in like a woe is me sort of a way so people are eviscerating the guy who
controls the soundboard and does all of this stuff and he's getting upset and you can just
see them all kind of toying in between Ethan's wife Hila is like are you going to and he's like
no no no like and shit's not really getting not moving forward finally Ethan reveals that he
messaged the guy and asked him to play the song prior to that he was letting this guy be ripped
to part to shreds for thinking that he chose to do this and Ethan was just a victim. So he
asked Zach to play that. He giggled. Everyone saw it. He wrote it in the discord and everyone saw
and it is what it is. And I apologize. I know that it was super inappropriate. I just have to say
that apology is just not it for me. Like if you watch that video of him saying that he's backed
into a corner, he doesn't want to say anything. It's clear that other people are annoyed with him
for like letting them take the fall for it they all fucking laughed and he instigated it and it's
his show so it just like makes me like so irate cutie cinderella did a response like asking like
people people asked like did you see uh ethan's apology and she was like yeah no i as soon as i
thought i was like what the fuck like what the fuck is wrong with you like why would you do that
like what do you mean like so you get on here and you call out like david dobrik you call out
andrew tate you do all this shit but like you think that you're exempt because you call out
bad guys that you then cannot be benefiting from the patriarchy and actively participating in
sexualization the non-consensual sexualization of women like you're becoming a part of it even
though you're reporting on it you think you're bringing eyes to it like and one of his like his
like early on excuses like you know like i mean maybe not his but people were defending saying
like you know it's dark humor like you know he always says like it makes me uncomfortable to
coping mechanism and i just have to say a coping mechanism is only used if you are coping with it
personally right you do not get dark humor and a coping mechanism if you are consuming other
people's shit if you are an audience member like if some if a stand-up comedian gets on stage they
went through something really horrific like specifically let's pete davidson will make
9-11 jokes i will not make 9-11 jokes saying well it's a coping mechanism i have nothing to cope
with right that's not what that is and it just makes me fucking irate because you're like a
literal grown man you've been doing this for years you have a team of people like you literally have
people you made the conscious choice to live stream your goddamn fucking show here's the thing
i understand more than anyone getting the fucking giggles unrelated giggles on sets or being
uncomfortable yeah but trying to do a scene and you're like you can't stop laughing it has nothing
to do with the scene you're like i have to be professional and in those instances you just have
to suck it up and power through in this instance you can have you know what we're still having a
really hard time coming off this last bit we did earlier that's so funny we did not time this well
we should not be talking about this here we're gonna we're gonna address this tomorrow like this
is not fair this is not what this like just not what any of these women deserve that's all you
have to say and these aren't our thoughts when it clearly is and like you can't then just be like
oh don't read into it it's not that deep like you had to like context like I don't want context
and it just makes me mad he did a second apology video which I really really really fucking hope
that he takes the initiative to pursue looking into it further because like that is his
responsibility and like I think it's really at this point when you are harming other people and
you've done it before you need to take responsibility you're an adult he has Tourette's
and one of the things that he his wife had brought up to him and I guess he said that she's brought
up to him repeatedly over the years is like, why do you do this? Like, why do you say these things
and seem to have no filter in this sense and not that? And she asked him, she's like, do you think
it's a Tourette's thing? And he's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And he's like, that's a cop
out. That's an excuse. I'm just an asshole. And so now that this has happened over and over again,
and he's like, I don't know why I do this. Maybe I should look into it. Please look into it. Like,
Yes. At this point, deciding that you would rather be an asshole and kind of double down
in that without controlling it. If it's something that you can't control with the tools that you
currently have, why do you want that to just be that you're an asshole? Like, yeah, this makes
me so uncomfortable. At this point, it is all of our own responsibility to learn more about our
mental health because our mental health and our disabilities, our behavior affects other people
and not wanting to attribute
potentially a lack of impulse control,
which ADHD has an impulse control.
Like that's something like I interrupt people
and I don't like when I do it.
Like I feel really bad.
I apologize afterwards.
But like, I don't think that
that's a part of my personality,
nor do I think it's an excuse.
Or if it's a part of my,
if it's a part of my brain
and how it was developed before I was born
and how I am, then it's like,
okay well so then how can i make this in a way that like i i'm okay with myself and i feel better
about it and i mitigate what i can and i can work on positively like coping mechanisms to like help
myself through these things and then how can i also then not beat myself up afterwards if i
like how can i make a system to support me through this so then i can support other fucking people
always i will always say men with platforms are never the voice for women they're never
going to be the leading voice in women's empowerment. They're never going to be the
leading voice in the patriarchy and advocating to protect women from men. It's just not going
to happen. And we need to stop centering these like these are the good men. These are the feminist
men. Stop. Center women, center people who are not making their entire career about their male
experience in life and then suddenly trying to win bonus points for being like I'm one of the
good guys right and I just hate it if this is something that is related to his Tourette's and
like this is something that's like really keeping him up at night I'm sure that this is really hard
for him because he has said a lot of really fucked up shit over the years so that's a lot to unpack
right fuck AI porn and I'm so excited for the absolute evisceration of the people who created
it shared it agree as you all know I'm a porn watcher and the ads come up all the time all the
time yeah anyways that is it for our episode if you would like to write in for an upcoming episode
