it's tuesday tuesday gotta get down on tuesday you can't be looking forward to the weekend on a tuesday how unfortunate is that um i wouldn't say it's that bad because yesterday was new year's day so a lot of people aren't at work yet play hooky everyone welcome to see you next tuesday and i'm so happy to announce that something that i wrote when i did have medication is something i can share on today's episode when i'm unmedicated i'm happy that you um remember where it was unless i can't find it i found it okay everyone so i've been seeing pretty much around everywhere everyone doing their pop culture

or 2024 predictions um and i have been loving them i will say i am a little impressed at the unabashed boldness of some people getting on public apps like tiktok with their names and their faces and saying that like i think this celebrity is gonna get cheated on or cancel or like something where i'm just like oh that's that's a lot to put out there um and um so i mine is definitely a little more thought out and again this is why i give prior medicated me kudos because unmedicated me there would be no thoughts there would just be words so my first one it's a little ironic considering everything i just said but i stand by this medicated and unmedicated and i've said this before on the podcast already i'm predicting a mila kunis ashton kutcher divorce

and when i say i'm predicting i am also hoping and praying and wishing on a shooting star and every eyelash that that comes for her um oh i'm with you i'll let you know when i disagree okay my next prediction is about the nine month cruise oh i i am so into this every time i follow the girl that calls herself the cruise director and she appeared on well they played her video on the today show the other day and she was shocked um i'm sad every time she brings us a new character i'm following them this is my thing right now yeah i'm so into it it is the hunger games though i do think that not only has covet already hit them obviously naturally it happened in the first two weeks i'm worried that we're going to have either a murder or this woman

shitting on the plane 2.0 like i'm very afraid that there is there's going to be a norovirus epidemic that um is when you're trapped at sea in a in a your choices are the open water or a cruise ship filled with feces how many people do you think are going to get divorced like on actively on the ship and how many people do you think are going to get divorced because they got someone else pregnant on that ship yeah and how many i just i don't understand sharing a room with a sibling that long when you're a grown adult because like how am i gonna run it out you're not that's why a murder is gonna happen yeah because it's gonna be so much tension that's what i'm saying like this is not natural there's a reason sometimes people are like this has never been done

before and i go and for good reason for good reason there's a reason why my guys um i think we're gonna find out what what that lady saw on the airplane when she said that motherfucker's that motherfucker right there not real we're gonna find out what that motherfucker is i am surprised i know she eventually came out like showed her face again but i'm surprised like internet sleuths didn't figure out who she was because one i don't i think most people were just curious and not angry yeah but two truly what was back there no everyone was on her side everyone was like girl just tell me what you saw like this is a safe place like what did you see like i would love to know so i can keep that in mind but everyone thinks of the like airline

paid her hush money which i'm like and that's why no one can find her yeah and i think we're finally gonna figure it out great um i think elon is gonna lose the twitter password and someone's going to hack twitter and from his account and it's gonna be like a total shit show and then he's gonna have to hop on like in a different official twitter account and then they're gonna that i think it'll probably be anonymous behind it but um i i just foresee elon embarrassing the shit out of himself on twitter um is anonymous still doing stuff yeah they are okay i haven't heard anything from them in a while i think we're gonna have the submersible again but this time in space um i think do you do you remember couch guy like that girl on tiktok i think they're

gonna break up they're still together they're still together currently but i think they'll break up um i think there's gonna be another ted bundy movie can we hold on can we go back to couch guy and then yeah okay in the same vein of couch guy we also have the love surge people and now people are really getting on their side with this bartender video that they've making pretending like your bartender you're dating or um flirting with your bartender and i was like people went i don't know if people realize it's the same people because the same people i saw on twitter hey because you know when things move over to twitter it gets extra extra hateful yeah and the same people i saw on twitter hating this are loving their bartender thing i don't know if

it's the holiday season or what they're just got a little what happened we've got a cheerful christmas spirit in them yeah no i don't know i will say they do look like there have been like two or three videos of theirs where i have not i it took me the third or fourth time viewing it to catch on that they were the same people as the love search people like they kind of just has everybody kind of face he looks different to me he looks like a unique specimen yeah she's a shapeshifter to me yeah she is i couldn't point her out but i can immediately maybe because he was the one that was shaking like that yeah that his face is burned into my brain but yeah um so i think we're gonna get another ted bundy movie against all anyone's wishes i i

think that they're just not gonna stop so i think they might have zach efron just do it again i don't think zach wants to do it again i don't think he's having a moment right now i know i wait to see that movie the iron claw iron fist the iron grip and uh yeah it could also be austin butler and then he goes method and then everybody's like we gotta help out austin maybe he does the ted bundy movie to get out of the elvis character what he goes method as and he starts killing people no he just will take in the faux persona that everybody's assigned to ted bundy as his hot charming man which he was neither hot nor charming he was just this i'm an incapable man and he acted pathetic so people would help him out because they felt bad for him but he'll take

on the like i'm sexy kind of persona um next up andrew garfield gets a girlfriend or has a baby and it becomes zane 2.0 and i mean zane as in zane one direction 2.0 like i think and it's i the girls are not going to be okay we'll be having to do wellness checks left right and center um and i think the only way that the internet will not absolutely lose its shit is if it is with chicken shop girl Amelia I thought he was married and had children already no but maybe you're maybe you're seeing into the future maybe maybe I'll call you miss Baxter over here they can't see there's no video version I know I've never seen so much white in your eye because they always look close yeah you know I just survive on this okay speaking of chicken shop chicken shop date with

oprah chicken shop date with megan markle and has stallion been on there i don't think so not yet that to me is like that's an easy prediction yeah that would be an easy one um and i think that in in doing so with megan markle uh we will get either an interview a soundbite or something in which amelia from chicken shop date says that they declined weighty katie and she will specifically use the term weighty katie as like a yeah i haven't heard that term in a long time and i've briefly forgot like it was just half of the meanest nickname in the world like you're just waiting around like that's literally being like pathetic patty like oh god

so okay yeah um i don't know why one of my next predictions is there's gonna be another war movie of course there is of course there is um oh club chalamet will go to jail or stalking or pivots to pedro pascal or jacob alordi something like that um i think zach brian i know but that's i think that'll be an easy hop over um zach bryan will be canceled um just because he's the new morgan wallen in the sense of like he's taken up the space of like a new guy in country who like everybody's obsessed with and then morgan wallen you know said the n-word and everyone was like oh shit and then they then they a lot of the people who most people look past that and we're like that's fine but then the people who didn't look past that they then

found zach bryan and they were like this is my man like this is the replacement and so i think they're gonna go through this again um i think we'll get a new casey musgraves album and i have yet to decide which drug will be induced that like will be the inspiration for it um i was gonna say ketamine before a lot of the news came to light of recent about ketamine and i just think it's a little too dark and sad um i think we will have another celebrity affair nanny affair scandal we haven't had one in a while and i think it's time especially because we have so many like celebrity nanny day in my life's on tiktok that would be it we're as a society we're we're hungering for it i think um jensen mccray who's one of my favorite vocalists and singers songwriters on tiktok i

think she will get noah khan and blow up via tiktok and like completely become a star of her night um i think rachel zegler will get her redemption in 2024 and i think 2024 will become the official year of james marston because that we've set the stage with jury duty and every but everybody we've had the consensus that is wait you love james marston i love james okay and i think that this is going to be his year so those are my predictions for 2024 incredible you don't have any gypsy rose predictions well here's the thing i think saying that gypsy rose is going to be on trisha's podcast is way too easy to guess like i just think like i think it will happen um gypsy rose has also said that she's a big taylor swift fan i don't think taylor swift is going to touch

the gypsy rose with a 10-foot pole um and i think joey maybe joey king will sit down with like diane sawyer to do an interview with gypsy rose and so then we have both of the gypsy the gypsy rose i the gypsy rosette does that relate it to you yeah sorry um yeah so i could see that but um i could also see joey king getting her redemption because people hate her is it for a good reason i thought they just didn't like her face remember who she is oh she played gypsy rose in the act gotcha and she was in the kissing booth got it i also have another prediction about an actor but it's very mean and so i can't say it okay you can tell i'll tell you i'll tell you right now do you have any predictions anything you think

um I don't you know me I don't really pay attention to pop culture that much unless I'm digging for information and I became I become obsessed with one thing um so I can't say that I really have any predictions for anybody famous what do you think the likelihood like the most likely outcome of the drama that could happen on the cruise are you thinking besides illness are you thinking affair murder i know there has to be a murder right that many people there has to be a death whether it's yes yeah regardless of the cause of death but there definitely has to be a death and investigation maybe oh my god you know what this is gonna be the next fucking um knives out movie they're gonna they're gonna take inspiration it's gonna be on a cruise ship

yeah last time last time they're like covet i know this time cruise submersible i would do imagine a submersible one i couldn't watch it no i can't i can't even watch movies where they like swim underwater for like any period of time because i can't breathe while they're underwater um yeah i don't really have any predictions do you have any um resolutions um cure myself of adhd is a big one um no i haven't thought about anything except for this um no i'll figure out myself when i'm medicated because without that who i it's too hard i don't know if you'd come up with it before

no i'm like usually uh you know the very end of the year which it's now but you know maybe the first month first couple weeks i'll figure it out okay what about you i have a certain amount of money i would like to make every day actively okay not actively some of it passive i was about to say i feel like you should your goal your new year's resolution to be more passive income not active um i want us to i mean we have our own game plan but we need to stick our illnesses threw off our game plan yeah um i want us to be healthy i want us to be healthy too this was a rough year for that yeah um yeah i've got i've got some things oh she's got some tricks up her sleeve i almost got caught up in a cult i don't believe you you would never get caught up in a

whole were you doing it for the giggles no or did you truly think it was okay like an accountability group so I put my phone down so that I could concentrate actually I need my phone so that I can read some things there you go for the assets so I was like i need to do something where i'm just not doing anything because i do things all the time even when i'm watching tv i'm also working or something yeah it's like i can't not have a device in my hands at all times except for when i'm getting like a massage or something so i was like what if i took up meditation but like go someplace so then i have to put my phone away oh so you were looking for a cult i was not looking for a cult i was just i want to go somewhere to do

meditation you know they have yoga places where they have where they do like sound baths and meditation that's so part of it so i found this place that's a two that's a two minute drive from my house and um in arkansas no okay because i was about to say an arkansas cult i would love to know what that like that's just i would think it'd be really religious based i think in the area i'm in it might surprise you you'd be still sound bathing there's a yeah sound bathing i mean we have because um you can literally drive i mean ride your bike from like 30 miles away to here because walmart just made trails everywhere oh yeah like it's very very wellness eco-friendly yeah like okay yeah so you'd be surprised yeah uh

so i was i found this place two miles away and it has i'll show you i'll drop it like in oh yeah where is that literally a mansion not when i say two miles i don't mean two miles i mean two minutes away two minutes away yeah that's a home that's it what is that that's the outdoor let me show you the front of it you just want to like blithe manor or whatever that fucking uh yeah oh my god it's literally a mansion i know where that is and it's called actually i'm not gonna say what it's called no let's protect your life yeah and i was like this looks cool only six dollars to get in i can oh my god church of scientology i can't just it's not the church of scientology i was like i could just go and uh you know go to

these beautiful gardens look at that yeah that is either a church of scientology or a rehab like that's the only time that they're gonna let you into buildings that look like that that's like yeah so i was like this is gonna be great they also serve organic lunches that are eight dollars and then they also have like these all day they call it urban retreats and they had one on my birthday and i was like this is gonna be the best place for me imagine you made everyone go what so i'm looking and then they keep quoting this man on the website it's like i just don't have a good feeling about this man so i google his name so many scandals in the 80s and 90 this 90s this place was known as the cadillac of cults so

so they're in their like redemption era yeah i guess our era uh-huh because i was i was like it makes no sense that this place has so much money and um they're only charging people six dollars to get in here and so this man is awful uh he died 20 like 20 years ago but he was an awful person uh but uh they the i found out the organization that actually owns the building is separate from the name of what the building is of course so you don't think that you're buying something for this organization uh-huh uh it's called the uh i'm just telling you i'm cutting it out it's called the movement of spiritual inner awareness and then the uh initiations are msia and they pronounce it

messiah why the catalytic cult is serving eight dollar organic lunches oh my god i'm dying so they like let people go in and out so it's free will so on their website it asks then they're frequently asked questions it says are you a cult and they say no cults make people stay you can go as freely as you want there are people that live in the mansion though and also in this article that i'm sure you're reading they say that like they don't really ask you this person went back three or four times and nobody came to them until after like the fourth time to start talking about the lesson so i guess they just like get people there with the cheap meals and meditation areas and then they wait and then ask

and as i was looking this up i feel a little poke on my ass and i roll it was like five o'clock in the morning i hadn't gone i had gone to sleep and then i woke up again my sleep schedule has been all over everything i feel a little poke on my ass and i roll over why is there a sewing needle in my bed i've been sleeping in this bed for weeks now so it was like hey this isn't your biggest fear needles cults are stop looking yeah that's actually really fucking funny yeah um also i just have to say for a cult in los angeles it's really embarrassing because like there's not a lot of famous people in it no but you know who was in it ariana huffington oh my god i think it's because it's very free willed they're not really forcing people to be

there she's friends with taylor swift is that the girl you just named up with the actress jamie king yeah yeah but like of of recent time that's like the old like the biggest person there might be others they just don't speak of them yet after it seems like they don't actually like speak of them till they leave yeah well i'm so glad that you didn't accidentally join like a kind of loser i shall i call like it's not even like one of the really like star stuff i know but it's like it's not even like one of the ones where it's like oh join us and you're guaranteed to like have a career in hollywood like it's really just let's meditate honestly and it's like what are they getting out of this

all right maybe they're gonna try and like hypnotize you maybe but i am gonna go visit just oh my god of course you are why not you're insane but hey i would love to get a full report i will i'd also go i'm like completely unsusceptible to peer pressure like that i'll do it they're not gonna talk to us the first time i walk well and anytime i walk past the church of scientology like i get really offended that nobody tries to recruit me and i'm like i've been told it's like i don't have like um i don't have like a malleable essence like i don't look like someone who can be like convinced of i've had casting directors be like we really liked her for the part but she does not look like someone who

could just like get the rug pulled out from underneath her and i was like i'm so sorry why do you write such shitty fucking women who are like well i'm just accidentally so i've never been targeted and i've actually felt pretty bad and i um i'm jealous and i wish i was being um i wish i could be included so well here we go let's walk into the lion's den together and then give a full report yeah i'm down okay and if we if we don't make it everybody yeah yeah to keep this legacy going well i love that um what a what a fantastic episode they're ups they're downs they're they're things that um
