Hello and happy Tuesday. Happy Tuesday. It is Christmas Eve. It is the eve of Christmas. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Welcome. We are going to read the results of last week's episode of but am i wrong and read your responses i forgot to put this in the highlight it's on me every time i just go to our instagram and i see the photo of michael b jordan next to our reactions to the call from the don't blame me episode i'm just like i am just reminded that our cup runneth over with the content that you all have been delivering for

us and i just want to say thank you thank you so much shall we get into this show see you next tuesday is when we read the results from our latest now we're caught up we'll read the results from our latest episode of but am i wrong all right so first up me melissa says shut down all ai merchant two percent said i was wrong 98 said i was not wrong i want to give a shout out to the images i used um are in fact from the website that does the shirts that you were sending and unfortunately i did have to pick ones that were objectively horrible because some of them almost sold me some of them are they look good until you like your eyes until you realize it's a little bit made up and you're like until you realize you're looking at drawing someone said

i voted wrong i misread melissa's wrong as ai is wrong i'm so sorry someone else said insanity that this is happening i want ai to figure out the most efficient way to exist as a human maybe not that i i know what you meant but i think the phrasing is wrong the most efficient ways to exist as a human or cure cancer not make shitty ads for non-existent stores another person said i really wonder how many people have been tricked by these places and what the aftermath was at this point i think people stop paying attention to what they buy click on and and continuously get bamboozled and that's what i call natural selection that is the modern day natural selection okay then we have megan thinks it's weird that the

newest health craze is colostrum one percent said i was wrong 99 said i was not wrong this might be the most objective results of anything i've ever posted someone said i think i clicked on the wrong one maybe but i definitely think it's weird and i agree so someone said i just wanted to chime in with what i know since my family are dairy goat farmers they got into it at a time where the industry realized they could use goat milk parentheses colostrum question mark for baby formula we also use powdered colostrum to feed the baby goats if they stay with their moms they risk getting very sick those spread viruses like crazy and could cause harm to the babies this is basically all i know about it i'm no means an expert my perspective is definitely different

from people who don't come from a farming background the entire dairy industry is essentially based on getting animals pregnant taking their milk and doing it over again if the farmer is doing their job properly and with care the animals live very happy lives i do understand why people are raided out by that or don't support it but supporting the dairy industry supports my family and others i wouldn't ever seek out colostrum unless it was recommended by a doctor though so i do think that that's very different from what you were talking totally and that's the whole thing that's like i think that like using colostrum like the same way that like you can be an over producer or super producer of breast milk jesse had a fucking like chest freezer and was donating

milk because it was like she had way more than enough and so to me that like using like a goat who's producing colostrum that is able to feed their whether it's their baby or to then make that into a powder to then feed another or even just using it within the same community as in other goats who can use that that i have zero issue with um it is the fact that like it is actively hard like it is to value to be more beneficial for the humans who like i'm a i'm not against my body is against dairy i am not against like like i said i'm not a vegan i'm not a vegetarian like i'm not against any of that stuff at all but the idea of like wanting to take away something that is actively beneficial for that industry and then use it for humans

well is i think in my mind and i could be wrong to me seems detrimental to that like to me it just it disrupts the ecosystem like it disrupts the circle of life for me and i have to say i you bitches better be glad that this sticks me out just as much because you know me if i can find uh an accurate representation for the photo to give people a point of reference to either jog their memory or to like add to it like when i did the bear suit one where i was like i need you guys see what this is um i did see photos of what it looks like to do um and because it is exponentially thicker than regular milk it looks deeply uncomfortable and already not in like you know small farms but like for big factory farming it's already not the most uh comfortable process

to be milked this felt uh this this felt like squeezing um play-doh someone else said just the idea of consuming or using another's animal's colostrum is wild and scary it's very on brand though to use something that women slash female animals produce for capitalistic gain while also degrading them because it's animals plus i'm sure this is detrimental to whatever baby animal was supposed to get this colostrum.

You're richer than you think. And then we have writer number one. Are they wrong for expecting their friends with benefits to pay for their Uber? 20% said the writer's wrong. 80% said the writer is not wrong. Someone said not, especially because he agreed to pay in the first place. Another person said man agreed to pay pre-hookup. Man needs to pay. Send him a Venmo request next time he hits you up. LOL. Another person said, definitely not wrong at all. Good pussy should

always come with a price, whether it's money or something else. We can't go into 2025 letting men waste our time. We use loosely because I'm a lesbian. And if he was too broke to pay for two Ubers despite having a higher paying job, then it's time to kick him to the curb. Someone else said, I think this is, this one is very specific to the fact that he asked before he said yes, and then ended up not doing it. However, just expecting your friends with benefits to pay for your Uber because they get to fuck you, then you'd be wrong. I think you put men into different categories you have your financial providers you have your actual ones you want to date and then you have your ones that you want to settle down with and in this case this person is

a provider and you are also providing a service that's what i was going to say the provisions are going in multiple ways but like if he requested for you to come over than you request for money i agree with that it's kind of the same way that pricing works for like business stuff like if someone will pay that there there's always someone who will pay that you know and if it's like you can move on to somewhere else or whatever you want to do with that but like there i don't think there is anything inherently wrong with expecting that especially because booty calls very often in like a heterosexual sense especially in media have been depicted for the male's benefit that like you know the uh the the satisfaction might

be a little bit more up in the air even if not we i i do think it is our duty because we have had i think we've had more bad sex than they have so even if you weren't the one who did the bad sex to me um i've had bad sex in my lifetime so therefore pay for my uber i don't think that's too much to ask especially when you were getting up out of your bed to go to him without a doubt he said hey 1-800 deliver a pussy i would love to serve it on a platter cool pay shipping and handling you're right nothing tip your driver there would need nothing hotter than like someone ordering an uber for you and then leaving it like paying for the uber and then like seeing the notification like thank you for the trip and giving like a fat tip it's like that's hot like

it's not just like oh it's an expectation you should do that i'm like you know it is now not just a neutral flag like that's a green flag and like i find that sexy and attractive yeah that's like the video um that was on tiktok a few months ago where it was like uh hooking up with the finance guy something like that and he would provide a little goodie bag and money for breakfast um letting you know like you can sleep in with the housekeepers coming over a little bit later here's the money for your uber here's the money for your breakfast i had a great time did you just see he just collabed with a girl who did the finance girl like with him and the goodie bag she hands and it's just a pack of zins and i was cackling i was like i am i have

so much and it's like this is so fucking funny and it was like and i also know like almost all of his friends from college work in finance and a lot of the women work in finance too and i'm like they i was always like why aren't they showing girls in finance because like there is a fucking archetype too it's not the same as the men but like there is only one variant like there is one variant of this i'm like i need to see it and it was so fucking funny though throwing on her ball of angles i haven't seen it i gotta i'll send it to you okay it was just went up a couple days ago okay then we have writer number two are they wrong for not wanting to renew their lease with their brother one percent said the writer is wrong 99 said the writer is not wrong someone

said i might have fucked up and voted wrong but the writer is definitely not wrong i think the playing it off like it's obvious is a fantastic idea you are just overthinking this but it'll be fine you got this and when i read that i was like dang that's really good advice and then it took me a second to be like oh that's the advice we gave i was like dang that was yeah wow we're really fucking good i like literally had this i was like this thought i was like wow we are really good at this like we might be like hilarious and funny and like wonderful like personable but like we also do give good advice i just forget because like we have so many other like great qualities as well as like reasons to listen to this podcast that like i do forget that like

we also give good advice yes yes we do i mean there's a reason why we've been doing this since 2017 the reason why we had to do but am i wrong for people who didn't take our advice and they're like ready to talk about it now when you're a mid-sized business you need every competitive advantage you can get.

Someone said, and older generations don't understand why younger generations don't want kids or are heavily debating kids.

I'm scared. Another person said, I don't even understand how this is possible. With medical reports, I feel like there should be a way to prove that the small traces of these drugs were for medicine given before they're able to report them for positive drug tests first they force women to have children and then punish them once they do i fucking hate this shit then we have god we had such a this was quite the episode uh then we have my wrong of the week box lunch 94 said box lunch is wrong six percent said box lunch is not wrong i'm gonna go out on a limb and i have faith in our audience i i think those people are probably wanting to put more blame on

the catering staff um which is there's a couple there's a couple explanations to say that yeah which is fair um but i don't want anyone who has like allergies anaphylactic or not to think that like that like there's none of those responses we're not filtering those out so i i just want people to not feel like shit that feels like a ratio they don't love someone said this is horrifying and the victim blaming that EpiPens is appalling. An EpiPen buys you 10 minutes until the paramedics arrive. It doesn't magically cure anaphylaxis. I wish more people had basic knowledge on this. Someone else said, this is just absolutely disgusting. Having a deadly allergy myself, I can't express how passionate I am about this. The emotional stress and mental load of

constantly having to trust other people is exhausting and comes with so much anxiety. But if we don't trust professionals and restaurants or ingredient lists at the supermarket, it we literally wouldn't be able to eat ever putting our lives in the hands of others is necessary there is no other choice please show some respect and please just tell me if i can't eat instead of brushing it off no one with a severe allergy would ever be offended or mad we would be happy that it's taken seriously yeah someone else said i was just talking to a friend about her peanut allergy there has to be accountability for restaurants catering corporations because people with peanut allergies have to trust them it's that or never eat out or

go out or live a normal life. And having a reaction is at least traumatizing and at most deadly, so why would that not be taken seriously? Incredibly sad that someone died due to negligence and people still thought that they needed to post about it. Oh, last one. As someone who's worked in kitchens, I'm absolutely appalled at their approach to allergens. It is life and death and not something to be fucked with. Servers should be trained and not have a shadow of a doubt in their mind when speaking with patrons about allergens. I cannot believe that they would have such lax rules that caused someone's death. Absolutely appalling. One time someone made a joke that i gave them something they were allergic to and when they told me they were joking i went off

that is not something you joke about no not at all and also even if you're like don't believe them they have an allergy they just don't like the food who cares so what who cares it sounds like i'm allergic to onions i don't want onions in it okay like the idea of being like oh my god these people like these absolute idiots they're like making this food so bad what do you eat when You're high. Because I'm ready to judge you. Speaking of. Kids eat paper.

People thought denim on denim was peak fashion, inline skates were everywhere, and two out of three women rocked the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board.

Here's to WestJetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at WestJet.com slash 30 years. We're back and I'm intrigued. So, as you know, when I come to town, there's only two friends that I actually see. And there is no high school. Oh, God. two of my college friends um that have moved back within the last couple years and um we went over to sarah's house and we had we didn't go out this time but we had a freaking blast

did about five gummies maybe and i'm so glad you're still here with us today what day was this saturday yeah i went after um one of my niece's birthday parties um saturday went over she has a lovely beautiful home and uh had a little sleepover we had a lot of fun i introduced them to doji we watched her her tiny desk while it's on things and you know that part where it goes into i think it's the third song she's doing she starts barking and they're like we can't do this right now no i can't think about watching that high yeah it's a lot i played soccer inside there was a part a point where like all feeling had gone and then i just i was like we've got we got to prepare ourselves for tomorrow so i ordered us food they don't even

remember me ordering even though i passed my phone around so people could put their orders in and we got it was the only like place that was open because it's about three o'clock in the morning quesadillas you have been doing this 3 a.m ordering food this has been sober and not we got some great quesadillas um very filling it was like so good the churro there were some amazing churros that were had a little bit of cream in the middle of it oh my god how was your digestion worth it it was worth it like I used the bathroom but I think it was good to help flush my system out well also I have to say sometimes I go out of my way to eat things I know make me shit when I'm traveling because that backs me up so bad yeah and then I we went to bed um I

went to sleep i had a lovely she was like this room is so cold and i was she's like nobody ever goes in here i said baby girl i sleep on 64 degrees this is perfect i love a chilly room went to sleep woke up completely refreshed i made everybody breakfast i made french toast um and then i like made the whipped cream and thinly sliced strawberries like i had i i felt like i did very good for the next day and everybody no that's incredible yeah so we had fun is this a new tradition you think i think so i think it is i think it's a good a good one because like it's reminiscent of when you go back home when you're in college over thanksgiving break or christmas break and like everybody goes to that like one bar or whatever this is like the

adult version of that yeah we did go to the bar we went to several bars last time um and i do miss we went to one that had popcorn like different flavors of popcorn at the bar and it felt like it was either that i didn't drink this time because i was like can't that was too much last time but that tastes like the best popcorn i've ever had did you ever have popcorn at the bank yes popcorn and lollipops and little bottles of water i need us to bring back brick and mortar establishments they still have popcorn when you have to wait for something really they still have popcorn yeah the chase does i go to they have popcorn um the one in westwood has popcorn the one in culver city has popcorn i say okay he's really depriving me yeah there's popcorn okay

next time i'm actually gonna not wait in the car and i'll go inside response i'll go give me some of that popcorn yes i've had a lot of popcorn recently because i've been watching a lot of movies wicked and um the grinch and the polar express i don't really like popcorn as a concept i don't like how it gets in my teeth um well you know me i bring a floss pick everywhere i go i know and i also don't like butter yeah i don't get butter on it but a lot of places they just like do it and so I don't like specific popcorn but if I'm in a mood of not being in my body I love popcorn where I don't have to think about it too much I think it's like cotton candy it's like air food and like it satiates that like thing of being like why do you kind of want to eat a packing

peanut like it's that mood that you get in I understand it like when I came home the other day and my dad was just sitting on the couch eating popcorn and i was and he was like you want some it's like that sounds absolutely disgusting right now no the way that some people make popcorn you literally have goosebumps just thinking about it it's so squeaky and i like cannot deal and like i i can make popcorn fine but oh my god i literally have full goosebumps talking about this but like it has to be in a specific bowl i have to be in a certain outfit i like there all these things have to sensory wise all of these things have to go perfectly smooth because the consistency of it and the squeak squeakosity is incredibly different than when

you get it somewhere out of your home or from a bag josh made some popcorn that sounds josh elkins He made some popcorn where he cooked pepperoni in a skillet and then took it out and then cooked the popcorn in the pepperoni oil. Juice. I was going to say juice. Yeah, I know. I could tell. And then like sprinkle some cheese into that. To wet?

Yeah. Put a little cheese. and then i think he put like like a ranch powder on it too yeah and that sounds phenomenal that sounds there's nothing i love more than cooking absolutely anything i can in rendered fat from me i'm like oh yeah oh yeah that sounds phenomenal okay i'm gonna try i was for a point which i stopped doing because um it started sicking me out but uh i obviously would save bacon grease for to cook the multitude of things i've done popcorn no that's what he did the bacon grease that's what he the bacon grease was with the uh with the ranch powder i forgot what he put

on the oh it was like a pizza um powder that's what he put on yeah so i it is so fucking good but you need to factor in what you're cooking it into because the typical amount of popcorn that is satiating to you is cut in half because like it's so there's just something about it it's it's obviously fattier it's so so so rich that i made a big bowl that how i normally make it and then i was like oh i cannot finish this because but it's so good thing about it's like bacon fat like yeah eat that and it's also more flavorful so like you are satisfied with like it's less of a vessel and like or plain it's just so fucking good damn well that's we always make a lot of popcorn when we're up at the mountain house so i'll do that i remember i was hanging out with

my nephew and he was like i had like talked about how we went to the getty and so we didn't um we didn't have lunch and so when we were having we were gonna have dinner there i was like okay we either need to order dinner now and it's like 5 30 i was like or we have to go home like i am starving and i don't know if he was like why are you hungry did you not have the snack we had popcorn and i was like my dude you your father and mots were in the living room i was with your sister 10 minutes maximum you both you all three of you downed those two big bowls so quickly of course i didn't get any you were shoveling it into your mouth and it was when he was shocked that i didn't get any i'm like you ate it in 0.5 seconds flat

it's a speedy one but now i'm craving it i'm craving a dagwood from loaf and joe's which is a restaurant that i'm about to go to right now when we take our lunch break because they do a pepper the dagwood is like a sandwich that has pepperoni in the flavors i was just talking about for a second i don't know well now i know why i was like i thought you meant i just heard backwood and i was like like a split and i was like you are becoming a different absolutely not no dagwood no it would make you so i'm sorry loaf and joe's is my favorite part of that yes that's the name of the restaurant it's a weird they have this gluten-free bread that's weird like i've never seen anything like this but it's so good it's not a char's no it's something

strange is it soft it's a little like a roll not no it's more like a flatbread oh take a picture when you have it's pepperoni salami ham lettuce tomato and italian dressing maybe doesn't sound appetizing but oh no on a piece of bread no that's there's nothing about that doesn't sound advertising fans sounds great i mean you're talking to a girl who loves a tuna sandwich like and they also do um homemade chips too oh wow i'm loving that we hope you all enjoyed this episode of see you next tuesday don't forget to vote for who you think was wrong for the last episode um that's over on our instagram stories it will also be in a highlight so if you miss the voting window of the 24 hours because obviously it's a holiday season people aren't
