See, they see. Welcome. speaking of welcome to see you next tuesday are you excited i'm so excited for you to hear us on
Starting point is 00:01:31 this tuesday me too it's gonna be a fun filled episode thank you for a lot of people that wrote in this i know so many people did and people some people that like don't write in every episode and i was like oh my god we've missed you thank you i enjoyed it so this is for episode one two three 123 if you're new here and you've never listened to see you next tuesday or anything else we have to offer see you next tuesday is when we rate things that were proposed during but am i wrong so this probably isn't the place you want to start but like if you scroll maybe like 30 ish minutes we will not be talking about the uh results we'll just be talking about random shit so choose your own adventure or just go back and listen to some other things you can also
Starting point is 00:02:22 listen to this just don't complain yeah or you can't complain the way you lined your lips it will be that top one does bigger i should say they're also when i'm dehydrated for some reason well actually no it's because i itch my lips when they're dehydrated and then they get a little swollen um but unfortunately as do my eyes i woke up this morning and i said oh my allergies and months later he went yeah and i said oh you said that too fast i need you not agree with me so quickly rude yeah he was like no your eyes just like i'm gonna vacuum the whole house i'm gonna touch the whole house i was like okay fair fair fair all right so i'm up first melissa says residing in denial delusional and detached is okay for right now two percent said i was wrong
Starting point is 00:03:06 98 said i was not wrong someone said with the health issues that i've been having work being stressful and this so-called election delusion is the only way i can survive hope you feel better soon i um found my community of people really talking shit about this new update in the photos on iphone so you know you can find anything on reddit yeah i think that was the only one maybe then we have megan says wearing a blue bracelet is the crux of the issue of why white women keep voting the way they do four percent said i was wrong 96 said i was not wrong i will say that like when i talked about it there was like not much of a discourse on it and i've seen it a lot more now me too so i wouldn't have been as uh hesitant when i proposed it where i was like
Starting point is 00:04:03 tell me if i'm off base that i don't like this um and where you were yeah so every that's it was i was aligned someone else said this or someone said this is just the latest version of the fully black feed post of 2020 yeah the second i saw the videos on tiktok i felt so icky like get it together a fucking friendship bracelet isn't going to do shit for the years of gaslighting and abuse women of color have gone through someone else said it sounds like white women soothing their own guilt again i'm a white woman and honestly was really disappointed with how many of my white women friends were disengaged during this election and then at least one of my friends didn't even vote. At the end of the day it goes back to the fact that you feel protected by your
Starting point is 00:04:39 privilege and elections won't feel as important to you. You saying the right thing wearing the right color means nothing. Do something tangible for the women of color in your life. Megan is right someone shouldn't need an accessory to demonstrate they are a safe person. You should just be able to tell immediately who is implicit in the system or an advocate for something different. I think white women can hide behind their quote-unquote being nice to not talk about their political beliefs too but I will never be okay to be nice to someone's face or to claim support them and then vote away with their rights oh my god i voted wrong i have a blue bracelet it's giving me pussy hat circa 2017 someone else said at first when i saw the bracelet trend i
Starting point is 00:05:16 thought it was cute especially because i live in a red state but when then i saw someone say imagine if men did this to signal that they are one of the good guys and then i understood and someone needs to look to see if i'm wearing a blue bracelet to know if they're safe around me that i'm not doing enough that's a good analogy i lost my free page and honestly forgot about it i didn't realize how irritating it was until you brought it back up it's crazy the lengths that people go to cover up guilt that they created for themselves just like you said there's no need to warn people that you're a good person if you're a good person tbh when i leave my house i don't pay attention to white people whether they're kind or not lol you know i'm not racist though
Starting point is 00:05:50 it's usually just a safer option if a situation arises where a stranger who happens to be white talks to me and it's a pleasant interaction it is what it is but if i don't know you i don't really care about you being a quote-unquote safe person at the end of the day no stranger is safe facts stranger danger yeah i don't even know why no one else is saying that aspect of this like why do i feel like i need to come up to you like i just don't i don't get it well and like you just know that there's like some fucking bitch with a blue bracelet who just like sees a black woman walking to the store and it's like no i'm waiting for them to do wakanda just like fist up and being like and they're just waiting or just like and if they're bangles like clinking them
Starting point is 00:06:32 together being like hello yes notice me like that's so fucking weird it's so weird and again you can't just wear a harris waltz shirt like you can't just or just walking your morals like people know when you speak against or for certain issues but if you want you're like well i don't want anyone to think that i voted for him awesome did you vote for him no okay i'm not concerned that people think i voted for him because i didn't like i it just didn't happen so like i don't have guilt over this this thing i didn't i didn't do it i i i did not do it whatsoever and like it's just yeah i'm like really french this is what we're putting our fucking energy towards someone said well someone's like someone like made the point like you can just take the fucking
Starting point is 00:07:28 blue bracelet off and someone's like well i'm gonna get a tattoo then i'm like oh my god like literally stop you're making something about you that's not about you and they're like look what i have done like this is my sacrifice like shut the fuck up just go fucking talk to the other white women in your life yeah how about that how about you do that who's your cousin vote for tell me that like what conversations are you having like are you disengaging with those conversations with people are you one of the people that are like i can only talk about these things around people that feel the same way about as me no that's not how you make change no especially why are you trying to talk to black women well and especially because like it's
Starting point is 00:08:13 targeted towards women who live in a red state i'm like you know those people i don't i don't i'll seek them out i hope i have conversations with people who vote the same way that i do but we have different ways of getting to whatever like what we say like the way you can disagree on politics that's not you being a morally corrupt person like i have those conversations all the time or like we have this podcast yeah like all the fucking time we're on the same lane of it but i'm like if you know and i engage with in messages with conservatives all the time who who I don't know personally, but who follow me. But I'm like, you know that these people, you know them.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And you're saying, well, I can't talk to them. I'm just going to wear a bracelet and then take it off when I get home. So my husband doesn't see like, that's fucking insane. And it's so embarrassing. And the fact that like, why are you saying any of this out loud? Like, and doubling down, I'll just get a tattoo then. Okay. It's giving like, fine.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I'm just a horrible mother. I'm like, shut the fuck up. It's so fucking weird. Okay. That's it for that one. All right. then we have writer number one would they be wrong to tell their mom that her father might not be her bio dad 64 said the writer's wrong 36 said the writer's not wrong someone said i feel like there
Starting point is 00:09:27 is just no need to bring this up especially if she's not 100 sure i even think that doing the dna test would be too much if he doesn't know and he has been a father to her her whole life he is her father agree another person said this is very conflicting to me because i don't think she is wrong but maybe she should wait or not tell her directly but make her find the clues i just think i would want to know something like this and as much as it will shake her it doesn't have to change her relationship with her dad neither of them needs to find out right now i also don't think that the writer needs to hurry and make any decisions quickly because it's this is such a delicate matter it's very conflicting with him i'm very conflicted with it myself i don't want
Starting point is 00:10:13 i wouldn't want to know unless he was a terrible dad and unless like my bio dad was like rich yeah do what i mean like i think like finding out that like if you have a shitty dad finding out that you have another shitty dad sucks right like i'd rather just keep it to one if like the new dad outweighs the old dad tell me that's actually my new that's my new deciding factor like that's like i think that like if it's two shitty dads no they don't cancel each other out they just stack on top of each other right if it is a better dad than the last dad awesome it cancels one of them out pemdos so there's also no way to find unless like you do this and then you put it up on 23andMe or Ancestry.com and then you're able to find other relatives like
Starting point is 00:11:05 we don't even know what's happening with it like I could see if you did it yourself like you took your own DNA and put it up and then you look and find relatives that aren't related to the people that you know are related to you that's fine because that's your own thing that's the only way to go about it yeah you can't like take her hair and then like do a dna test for her no speaking of i did end up on um ronan farrow tiktok because he's a new story coming out about um cyber security it's fucking scary um and all the comments were like this is frank sinatra's son and i said something i don't know you don't know about this no i like looked at where have you been i knew that him and mia farrow married but like frank sinatra to me did not exist at
Starting point is 00:11:53 the same time as Mia Farrow and I realize they have a large age gap which makes more sense but I'm like why does Mia Farrow know who Frank Sinatra what do you mean they were they were married like they're of two typically different generations to me like I mean they are I know and that's I mean like when I figured out the age difference I was like okay because in my head I'm like that man was dead before you were born not true but he was much older than her um and I was like there's no way that he like Frank Sinatra could be Ronan Farrow's dad like that made no sense to me and this is why I followed the subreddit Barbara Walters for scale because I have no concept of age and time and like when things were um and about how she said that like
Starting point is 00:12:30 maybe he is and then i was like well he doesn't look anything like woody allen at all and like sometimes kids luck out and they get all of the genes from the good parent and none from the bad but i was like he also looks he looks very much like his mother but he also looks very much like his mother and like he looks like frank sinatra is a very beautiful man he doesn't have i would say like um totally contrasting features that i'm like if you made him a woman that it wouldn't look like mia farrow do you mean like he has those features that i'm like yeah as a son i could see without a doubt ronan farrow being your kid but also i could just see that being mia farrow's kid um and then i dove into that and apparently he did take a dna test he's just never shared the results
Starting point is 00:13:13 yep and she was like could be i don't know yeah but she didn't take it for him yeah she was like she gave him there you go i wonder if he found out on that um i doubt it on the interview when she said they're like is frank sinatra his dad and she's like i don't know maybe i bet he was told that beforehand but yeah what a way to find out you just like flipping through vogue or whatever like article it was i mean like i would love to upgrade from like if your dad is woody allen and then you go option frank sinatra it's frank sinatra right that's who i'm fucking picking yikes all right uh someone else said they would definitely be wrong to outright tell her if the writer really feels that this information is weighing on them then i also suggest formulating
Starting point is 00:13:58 a plan where your mom could find it on her own then a few years down the line and maybe after a few drinks it's that if that's your forte you could tell her how you actually found out but definitely not anytime soon it seems like that is everybody that wants to find out they're like let's do it by accident yeah another person said writer would be wrong to tell at any time i like megan's chaos idea about 23 and me for christmas or something but only if you feel like you can't hold in the knowledge ultimately it's not your secret to tell and bio dad slash grandpa is not oh okay so they capital so what they did is they've said bio dad slash grandpa and they had that in lowercase letters it's not grandpa slash dad in uppercase letters as in a formality
Starting point is 00:14:49 for either of you but please share an update if you find bio dad grandpa on yours on your own When you're a mid-sized business, you need every competitive advantage you can get.

Starting point is 00:16:16 then we wrote a number two are they wrong for texting their ex who is in a relationship 87 said the writer's wrong but 13 said the writer's not wrong you bitches are toxic i don't know i think it's because we for we uh put it in the way with like because i said i literally said in the episode i don't think she's wrong i think it was a cause and effect by the therapist yeah that's true someone said i said she's not wrong in the sense that she shouldn't have i believe that but I also think how it came about made it a very emotional response and who is definitely in the wrong is a psychologist I'm cutting the writer some slack for this one but don't text your ex it's never what I go for but either way the psychologist stuff that was very messy so not
Starting point is 00:16:58 again writer with love only wrong because following a fucked up therapist advice need need a new therapist asap this therapist is wrong I don't know how long the time gap was of blocking them to unblocking them but clearly not enough i think the writer is wrong to text her ex because not only is it disrespectful to the current girlfriend and relationship it set her back in whatever stage of healing or growth she was in but i voted that the writer wasn't wrong before realizing we had the option to vote the therapist was wrong lol so both were definitely wrong but i think as professional in the situation the therapist was quote-unquote more wrong and then the follow-up to that was also is writer number two's therapist wrong 95 said therapist was wrong five percent of
Starting point is 00:17:39 the therapist is not wrong. As someone who works in mental health and has studied psychology for years, I was racking my brain to figure out why the therapist would say this. My only thought is that somehow this is kind of a backward way to set boundaries, kind of like exposure therapy. Seeing if you allow the thing, quote unquote, being your ex's social media to access you, but don't seek it yourself, aka not following the ex, what could happen? I think in the therapist's mind, they thought if the writer unblocked their ex and happened to stumble upon something, maybe they could have healed enough to not make the wrong decision. But clearly that didn't work. either way get a new therapist then we have a progressives that talked shit about kamala
Starting point is 00:18:14 harris the whole campaign or didn't even vote someone said i have a co-worker who said she wouldn't vote at all i flipped we're not even american but i was shocked at how extremely stupid that is voting is such a privilege and not taking advantage of that privilege is so wild to me yeah yep yep someone said how much more qualified could she be a special fuck you to people who spread misinformation about her this person sent a slew of messages so i'm just going to read through them it isn't progressive to abstain from voting and then inevitably take the rights away of people less privileged than you to prove a point and then complain about the results of the election next message can y'all tell i'm crying and throwing up over this yeah
Starting point is 00:19:02 another person said i think this was one of my biggest frustrations when people were criticizing kamala no matter if they were valid criticisms or not this election felt is so fragile and despite so many people endorsing kamala they would all criticize her her time after time these people's followers are small-minded and lack the ability to think for themselves no wonder why so many people chose not to vote or voted for the dumb fuck they say won these progressives don't realize how much weight their voice carries and how it impacts people's decisions these fuckers deserve to get whatever platform they have snatched away and i mean that with my whole chest yep i agree with that then we have influencers that don't want to bring politics to their page 93 said
Starting point is 00:19:51 influencers are wrong seven percent of the influencers are not wrong a couple people said they voted wrong being transparent about politics is being transparent about your morals and your understanding of empathy if you don't want to be political say nothing you also have to accept that not saying nothing is enough to make democrats leave yep that's the part that's like so infuriating to me because i'm like you brought the politics are now on your page to so say like it is it's like the dog whistle for being like thank you now i know who you voted for like it's just it's such to choose to not do that i'm like it's just as big of a statement to say that you're voting for someone because i already know what this means and everyone knows this
Starting point is 00:20:32 what this means because you'll see people being like you're right people shouldn't have to say who they're voting for and we all know who those people voted for you can see on their profiles and then the people who are like yeah no this is not it i'm like and then you go to their profile on you go you see who they voted for i'm like you're doing exactly that thing you just like think you're not like i don't know who it benefits in that situation like you don't maintain your progressive and liberal audience like that doesn't happen and that seems like what they're trying to do anyways by not bringing politics onto your page you're inherently bringing politics your page i would much rather someone continue to go on like nothing's happening than for me to be irritated
Starting point is 00:21:05 by their blatant stupidity and inability to try and hide the fact that they're definitely on the wrong side yep and that is it i also want to note that the person who i used in this who made a whole video about how she's like not gonna talk about politics and how like you know she like loves people on every side and she doesn't let that divide her um she is quite literally a convicted felon who has spent time in jail she can't legally vote but she has gone through the prison system at an incredibly young age got like got sober stopped using drugs like had her kid like turned her life around like all of this kind of stuff and like was incredibly poor did not grow up in great circumstance in a great area and i'm like okay and you and you can't vote
Starting point is 00:21:54 but you would have voted for trump is essentially what that is and i'm like wow what we haven't learned anything nothing no life experience and also i'm like you've you have been forced to be surrounded with people who have very differing life experiences also not privileged people and so i'm like and and this is the takeaway okay what yeah she was huge on vine and then she like disappeared for years and then vine was gone because she was in jail and then she came back and she's like yeah so i was in jail when you're a mid-sized business you need every competitive advantage you can get like an ai solution that works for you not against you sap grow is built with ai embedded at its core working across every system and it's ready to

Starting point is 00:23:43 scotia bank you're richer than you think so that one really like that one actually surprised me and like i'm not surprised but like not even based on like oh i thought i knew her as a person no just like based on like bullet points of her life that surprised me wow that's it for the votes but stick around because we're just gonna chat about some stuff so Megan you have been um so into Molly Rudder I still don't really care but uh I know that you care so I care that you care I care enough for the both of us um so somebody wrote in with some thoughts on this because we were talking about how buffalo is small and this person said hi i wanted to write
Starting point is 00:24:40 in about molly rudder and buffalo i lived in buffalo for the first 22 years of my life and have some insight so buffalo has a large downtown area with like a dozen suburbs surrounding so the amount of people that claim they are from buffalo is way more than you'd think so i'm really curious where she actually lives because I can almost guarantee it's not downtown I imagine LA is similar where people could be living in a surrounding city but say they're in LA because the closest big city if that makes sense so her dating pool is probably like all of western New York of people all claiming they're from Buffalo yeah I would say that's like less LA that's very san francisco like very bay area like there are people from like danville who will say they're
Starting point is 00:25:27 from the bay area and i was like that's just like factually not true like that's no um la is so big i wonder how big buffalo is oh 52 square miles but how many people new york population so greater buffalo is 1.16 million oh wow yeah so i guess that like the if the buffalo the city the quote unquote city of itself is small and then you have that maybe it's like chicago yeah so yeah so i guess this makes a little more sense that she's dating like they said an entire section of a state not so much just her hometown her net is wide yeah it is a wide net um though i did see that she's now saying that she's no longer going to be dating men she's only like she's not dating at all right now but someone probably will change that tomorrow and she said yeah but that's not the
Starting point is 00:26:25 point they're like okay molly so like it's convenient that you get to now claim like you can't fire me i quit um that she's like i'm just gonna date women from now on um and as someone who's been following molly for a while i'm not like with i'm so not doubting that she's interested or attracted to women from my memory and if anyone's been like a longer molly rudder um viewer for way longer than me in my memory this girl has gone on so many dates and not one of them was with a woman and so now she's making the net even wider so fully pivot no no because she's cutting out men she says she's not dating oh sorry so she's only gonna date women but before it was wider now she's making it smaller yeah well i don't know because i don't
Starting point is 00:27:12 i don't know what if she was dating women before she said she was interested in women she just only dated men okay well so um i wonder if maybe she ran out of men and now she's i was like okay um i would say though if i'm having a hard time dating men and I like don't want to date. And I don't know. I just think that like the likelihood that like a straight man is coming across my TikToks about dating and is like knee deep in my lore is slightly unlikely. I find that a woman, that's like vast majority of her audience. And I'm like, Molly, are you going to date fans? Like, are you going to date fans now i have so many i've still if i could have a looking glass into like what her social
Starting point is 00:28:11 media career future is gonna look like because she did make a whole thing about so molly you know i think it was her second installment of molly gets political she was like i've decided that i i'm going to be making my cameos 50 off and donating them to charity to which jesse made a great point maybe you shouldn't discount them if you're doing them to charity um but also though like doesn't she say one thing in the next day she changes her mind anyway so by the time this comes out on Tuesday it's probably invalid anyway without a doubt and that's like that's what makes following Molly Rudder the roller coaster that it is because like you have no way she think you think she's gonna zig she zags you think she's gonna zag she zags like you don't know where
Starting point is 00:28:53 she's going and she will constantly surprise you delight you never will you always be surprised yes um but she then was like yeah i'm gonna donate all this to like this bookstore in buffalo and everybody was like well couldn't we just donate the money there like what about why do we need to do the cameos 50 off and she was like well yeah i guess you could do that but like she's trying to use my platform and then she like was like i have a friend who like it was so weird i have a friend who like loves the library like anytime i'm going through something she goes go to the library and i was like finally like okay i'll go to the library i was like i'm sorry a teacher kind of just being like whatever about a library and like needing someone to influence
Starting point is 00:29:31 them what does she teach i don't know and if it's history i will kill myself like that will kill or english i'm better with english but like this woman is saying that she's like she's gonna learn how economics works and she's gonna like learn how history worked but i mean about going to the library specifically an english teacher going to the library and being like fine okay you've shoved me enough i'll go to the library like it was just so funny and she's like i want to like read books i'm thinking books about like books from black women like i want to like read those kinds of books and i want to learn about how politics works i'm gonna learn about like the economy i want to learn about like the history and all that this girl she checks out a book by
Starting point is 00:30:11 jodi picoult that's a white woman it's a novel it might be about a black woman but it's by a white woman it might be about the social issues but it's by a white woman and it's a novel this is from the same woman who like and i'm i don't know anything about this book so this book could be bad so i'm not like co-signing but i just want for context jodi picoult wrote my sister's keeper the one about the the girl with cancer and then they had another girl to like harvest the organ like that's what we're talking about she's written a lot of very famous books but she's not Malala like this is not what these are mom beach reads or like curled up on the couch I'm crying about but like your aunt loves these books I read a lot of these books when I was
Starting point is 00:30:58 younger but like what do you mean that you went to the you went to learn about the economy and you left with the Jodi Picoult book like that's insane that's like saying I want to learn about trigonometry and leaving with Nicholas Sparks this woman might be the greatest troll of all time Melissa, that's the thing. That's what Mecca says. Mecca's like, Mecca's like, I can't stop. Mecca's like, I like stop telling her to stop everyone because I need to keep, I need to watch how this unfolds.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Like, don't take this entertainment away from me. So yeah, everyone's wondering she's either the biggest troll of all time or she's exactly who social media was designed for, for people who are like so full throttle in what they're doing and saying while simultaneously backtracking and all of that. and like there's not there's no shame in it um so that was like a wild a wild journey to watch but um i don't know i've been checked on her today so maybe she went on a date what did she do oh she did an amazon haul of course of course she did a hair tutorial and oh she did some singing she's she's now doing social media to find she's fostering a dog i
Starting point is 00:32:10 think and then it's like find a dog a home or maybe she's not fostering she's just posting photos of a dog that's available for adoption and as she said she can care about a lot of things at once she can care about oh my god i can't some of these hashtags for hashtag social justice hashtag all right let's let's move on to something that we both enjoy uh and that's kiki palmer so my queen kiki's corner i didn't i don't know if you saw who is doing like a monopoly go um i don't know what you call this but uh there's a star-studded quartet that are um going along with mr monopoly in a playful spotlight to playfully spotlight the emotional
Starting point is 00:33:09 roller coaster of monopoly go and this quartet includes will ferrell jason momoa chris pratt i saw that one and kiki palmer why are you i don't see that one i don't know because that's my entire tiktok feed is just kiki palmer interviews yes kiki has a book coming out or i think it's out it just came out today as we're recording this um and it's called master me the secret of controlling your narrative and i what i want i specifically want to talk about is she uh put someone by the name of brenda in quotations fake name in her book and um while on the set of scream queen she was like to everyone have fun and respect each other and then this person brenda said kiki literally just don't who do you think you are martin fucking luther king
Starting point is 00:34:03 yeah people people thought it was two people either but i knew in my heart who it was they're like it's either emma roberts or fucking leah michelle who do you think it is leah michelle i think it's emma roberts i don't think it's emma roberts for a couple reasons one emma roberts family was involved in some of her stuff um yeah but i mean you've seen the stuff that she's i know but she but kiki still follows emma on social media and they still and she still talks positively about emma okay so that's my question because i thought she hadn't but she's been on um watch what happens live and they asked her when she last time she saw someone and whatever and it was like about leah and she was with karamo yeah and
Starting point is 00:34:51 they were like where's lee and she said i love but she said it in a way of like i love leah where is Leah I haven't seen her and then everybody else Karamo and Amber Riley liked the post that's all I need to know uh it was very much a moment of um it was Karamo and the bartender who I think might have been one of Karamo's sons I don't remember but the bartender disappeared yeah no it was very much a moment yes it was very much a moment of like we don't like Leah we don't talk about so in my mind i was like i thought i was like okay well that has to be because i i when someone i saw on tiktok was wrong because it said the only person she didn't follow was emma and i was like oh no she follows emma so then it's yeah so then she doesn't follow leah then
Starting point is 00:35:40 it's leah yeah that now i have to re-watch that clip is the funniest thing in the world also because andy cohen i think is somewhat friends and he didn't get it like he had no idea what was going on yeah she follows emma oh you're right then and does not follow lou michelle oh i just got it backwards but i've heard her recently talk highly about emma so i knew it wasn't her yeah i also think that it doesn't sound like emma emma's like emma's meat like that's obviously mean but like it it would have been about like four sentences longer and like i don't think she would have dropped it wouldn't have been martin luther king i think it would be more niche yes i think it would have been something to like not everybody would get it but kiki got it and it'd been like
Starting point is 00:36:29 holy fuck like it would have been like i'm told i'm not gonna go for the jugular i'm going to like go for the head and i'm gonna rip the whole thing off hear that it's your money calling it wants a promotion elevate your savings with the scotia high interest savings account always earn high regular interest rates that grow the more you save and invest conditions apply visit scotiabank.com slash hisa to learn more scotiabank you're richer than you think. And you saw that she was on your enemies, but you still watched them,
Starting point is 00:37:13 used to watch them, the toast. I used to just get intel because I wanted to know because they're so clearly conservative right wing. And prior to the 2020 election, I was like, I need to see what they're saying
Starting point is 00:37:26 because like how they're subtly influencing people with their stories and like all of that kind of stuff. And then they were just like, mask off and i was like oh okay never mind the toast like they just like they like i forget what one of them said it was just like they made fun of pronouns and i was like oh they're not even trying to hide it anymore and so then their audience understood because before it was like
Starting point is 00:37:48 they were really towing not towing the line like to me but to like younger people or people who might not have grown up in a as progressive they would like pick specific stories or like phrasing that i was like these are like you're trying to get your audience in this to believe in this way or feel this way or whatever um and then they just one of them fully went um q and on so yeah yeah but they're horrible in the interview though they asked her about the leah michelle not being a read thing and she was like i never saw her read a book on set but like nobody's ever seen me read a book on set if she was friends with her she would have like defended like no that girl can read but i do like the fact that she was like and if she can't so what so what you gotta lift those
Starting point is 00:38:34 people up right and that's how i've been the whole time with that because i don't like that rumor because i was like there are people that can't read no totally like so like let's not be ableist about it but i agree with kiki on that part there are people that can't read yeah so i watched the most amazing story about um a uh football player who was at one of like an sec sec one of those southern schools what are they called is sec yep at one of those schools and he was like star player and he like played in the nfl for a bit but he like really went so hard in his college career that like his body was like pretty fucking spent but he did a bit in the nfl and so like he got paid pretty well um but he had like i think he like graduated high school with like a
Starting point is 00:39:21 maybe a sixth grade reading level and um was like i want to get better at reading i like want to be into books and he like went to barnes and noble and oh i saw this like white woman had struck up a conversation or whatever and he was like asking her for like a book recommendation or something and she like mentioned her book club and he was like oh can i join like that seems like the perfect place and she was like i don't think you want to know my book like i don't think it's the books you want to read i don't we're all old like i don't know if you want to everyone's got like white hair like i don't know and he was like no i would love to and he's like been a part of their book club for years he like now writes children's books and he is like an avid reader and is like
Starting point is 00:40:03 works but like children's literacy and like all of these kinds of things and like says that like football and there he was like it's the thing i'm the most proud of it's my greatest accomplishment the interviewer was like but like you have like one of the most insane college records of football and he was like i didn't have to work hard at football i had to work really hard at reading like football came easy to me football was like breathing like this was a lot of work um and uh i like see people on tiktok like a lot of like adults who will go into libraries and like get help for those things and like make it a mission to get better at reading and like i do think that like the ha ha ha you can't read jokes will have to stop if people are also going to be sharing
Starting point is 00:40:43 the articles about the um children graduating from like the covid kids having abysmally low reading levels like you can't make we can't we this can't be like a he he ha ha you can't read and then also be like and the children also can't read i'm like okay so we're concerned yet we're laughing so i do think that the leah michelle joke is done especially because like now it's been like removed from all of the context we're like they came from a podcast and it was like all of her instagram captions were emojis like they had all of these things that were there and it was like and it was it was posed as like this is a a joke that like now suddenly we're like well everything is fitting in and it's funny but now if it's like haha you can't read okay she's and
Starting point is 00:41:26 now she's in on the joke because she's made a joke about it too so yeah so it's therefore as soon as the person who the joke's made about is in on the joke it is put to bed yep we're done now yep it's like debbie ryan with her little hair tuck um but she but kiki's been looking gorgeous in these interviews did you see her on hoda and yep that hair melissa the two i was like kiki you actually have to this has to be your impossible outfit you need to wear this every day it was the color on her the hair the lips the eye like everything was so gorgeous and i said Are we getting Kiki back on daytime? Is Kiki coming back to daytime?
Starting point is 00:42:06 Yeah. Yep. She'd make time. Also, Shannon Sharp is in love with her? Yuck. Yuck. But I've actually never seen any man, let alone that man, giggle. Well, he is a giggling man.
Starting point is 00:42:21 No, I don't think you've watched any of his interviews. He giggles. I try not to. I don't want to, but clips. He has people on that I like to watch things. I've watched a lot of clips. And he is a giggling man. He likes to swing his little feet.
Starting point is 00:42:36 He likes to pump his little legs. I think at home he probably lies down on his stomach and rubs his toes together. Yeah, and I think he probably twirls like an invisible strand of hair when he does that. No, he is a giggling man. So I've never heard him giggle like he did about Kiki. It just reminded me of the Sean Evans clip when he was on Chicken Shop Date and Amelia asked him if like he's ever like had a crush on anyone who has been on or maybe he asked her and then she asked the question in return and he was like oh yeah there's one and
Starting point is 00:43:10 she was like guessing he was like no Kiki Palmer like I can't I there I can't it's just and she was like oh yeah yeah and then she had Kiki on she was like oh my god I get it and I was like and we're watching Shannon Sharp in that moment like you know Sean I don't think Sean was like I have a chance like all these other people were like fangirling in the sense of like oh my god my dream woman but Sharon Sharpe I was like no she's not into this I mean he did the same thing with Monique so someone in his age group but he was giggling with her too he's a giggler but she did but Kiki did get him with I don't know if you saw I really didn't want to see this it just happened upon my page but his Instagram he was hooking up with a woman and um he he
Starting point is 00:43:56 accidentally his phone fell to the floor and accidentally went on instagram live so you couldn't see but you could hear and he was talking her through it and he at one point he goes my michelle as he's talking her through it and that is what he was laughing at kiki about because kiki brought it up i figured you didn't get what the joke was about so kiki when he said you like older men or whatever and he was and then kiki said yeah that's what michelle said too that is why he started yelling about that i'm gonna be sick i have to tell mots because every time chin and sharp is on my for you page which is amanda seal's interview um just any any random interview he's done that like is with someone who i engage with their content somewhere else of course i've seen
Starting point is 00:44:49 the entire Kiki interview, Mott's is just like, I can't like, this is so weird to me. I was like, what do you mean? He's like, do you know how good of a football player he was? And I was like, he played football. And Mott's was like, this is insane to me. Like, he's like, he has one of the craziest records of all time. Like the fact that he's just on fucking YouTube giggling and kicking his feet. Like, he's like, it's just crazy. Like this man doesn't have to do this. He doesn't need the money. He doesn't like any of this kind of thing. He's like, he just enjoys doing it. He's Like, this is so crazy to me that, like, he's had this entire second renaissance of his career with people who had no idea what he did before. And he's so passionate about this.
Starting point is 00:45:27 And I was like, yeah, I'll have to tell him that part. He'll be like, I can't. I just need to stop. He made merch after it happened, too, because first he denied it was him. But you can very clearly hear that it's him. I'm sorry. Someone else was on his Instagram live. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Okay. And then he said he got hacked. and he's like that's not how instagram works like it was on your phone from your instagram and your voice and then he finally accepted it and then he made merch with it this was recent too this i would say maybe two months ago how's michelle doing we don't know who michelle is there was one there's one person that he follows named that was named michelle and it was this black woman that's like in her 50s and she was like please stop posting my name on things this is not me this is not me please stop yeah it's gonna be rachel ray all over again
