Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. It's a Monday Quickie, KFC Radio. My man Feidelberg is out right now, so we pulled in the other basic bitch in the office. One basic bitch out, another basic bitch in. Ellie is here for the week, so she's jumping in because she's so much younger than me. And you're from an entirely different world. When I found out yesterday that you didn't know who Ryan Phillippe was, I was like, wow. Everyone was very excited about this.

I was looking for my verified followers. I was like, I wonder if anyone cool follows me. And I was like, hey, Rhea, do you know who this dude is? And she looks at me like I was. Are you fucking serious? I'm wondering if that's you being young or you being an idiot. That's me being an idiot. Yeah.

Yeah. That's not even. Like he's. Have you seen Cruel Intentions? Yes. Okay. So I just had a dumb moment. Yeah.

I was going to say, if you haven't even like seen that yet, then like something. Or then there's a problem. I might have to make a list of things that you're going to need to do. Because you know I've never seen Home Alone. Yeah. Well, that's just disgusting. Since you got mad at me for that. Yeah Alone. Yeah, well, that's just disgusting. Since you got mad at me for that.

Yeah, look, I mean, it's just disgusting. Okay, sorry. You're supposed to watch it at Christmas. I'm Jewish. What am I supposed to do about that? You know what? You're right. You're not allowed to watch Home Alone. I'm not.

Oh, okay. That's it. Off the list. It doesn't sound like you appreciate it. It doesn't sound like you appreciate Christmas or believe in Jesus. So you're off the list. Well, you're not wrong about that, I guess. Let's go then.

Five, three, four, three. But you do know a lot about social media. I do. You know a lot about Instagram life, and I'm going to learn about Finstas, because we got a voicemail here that is not great for this guy. What's up, boys? First time, long time.

So I'm dating this girl for a couple months now, and just yesterday, she made me follow her fake Instagram account, First time in a long time. So I'm dating this girl for a couple months now. And just yesterday, she made me follow her fake Instagram account, a.k.a. her Finsta. Basically, an account, a private account, just for her friends where she could post whatever the fuck she wants. So I didn't think much of it. So after she accepted me, obviously, as any normal person would do, I did some scrolling. And unfortunately, I found some things that I absolutely could have lived my life without seeing. For example, talk about sucking dick, getting fucked, doing flow, you name it. Yikes.

Yeah. So basically, what the fuck do I do here? I mean, obviously, I unfollowed it because I do not want to see that ever again. Ignorance is bliss. However, now it's instilled in my brain forever. Basically, I just don't know what to do here. This was totally this chick's fault.

You can't have someone, you can't have your boyfriend follow your Finsta. First of all, that's not a Finsta, that's a Rinsta. That's her real Instagram. That's her real self. But it's like, you know, that's what a Finsta is. I know what you're saying, but your Finsta That's a real Instagram. That's her real self. That's what a Finsta is. I know what you're saying. Your Finsta is your real you.

I thought it was the opposite. The Instagram that everybody follows is the fake me. My fake Instagram, my Finsta, is the real me. Where I suck dick and do coke. For a disclaimer, I don't do coke. One out of two ain't bad. Alright. Fuck. I wanted to do that one. Alright.

trying to get that back on. Can't look at any of you. Just room full of men and I'm talking like, yeah, I don't do Coke, but, um, but um, so your real Instagram, like your one that's like public. People use Instagram to put their best, I don't know. Their best selves. Face forward, right?

And like with future employers, like I don't have a Finsta because I was hired because I put my life into the world. I don't need a Finsta because I say everything anyways. You'll get a raise for your Finsta behavior being out there. Exactly. So like, I don't, yeah, I don't need a finsta because I say everything anyways. You'll get a raise for your finsta behavior being out there. Exactly. So like, I don't have one, but... Do most people? A lot of girls I know do. I don't know that a lot of dudes do. I think it's a lot of girl things. Yeah, I would imagine it's a

girl thing. I would imagine if a guy has two profiles, it's just to be completely shady and cheat and shit. Oh yeah, for sure. Not to be like, I'm going to have a real self and a fake self. It's just like, if I need to show it to this girl, I show it to this just like if i need to show it to this girl i show this one if i need to show this girl you know what i mean um i mean i i i'm not a big fan of the finsta idea because i think sometimes they're really funny like i followed a girl who was so funny because she would just like tell her stories and like she couldn't put them anywhere else but i got to see that and i was like oh cool

i feel like and it's a small number of people who follow it you feel kind of cool about it but like I've also followed them that are like so last night I was getting fucking railed and you're like okay I don't need to know that put it in out there I feel like that's a weird like if you feel the need to make a whole separate account and really like air your own

shit out that's like some there's some psychological shit going on yeah for sure I mean but I think it's like the world is so fucked. Social media, the best and the worst. I mean, I love social media, but... I love it and I hate it. Yeah, for sure. It has given me my entire life. It has ruined my entire life. Everywhere in between, it is

the strongest force on the planet right now. Yeah, easily. But I mean, so it sounds like this girl told him. It doesn't sound like he found it and caught her and was like, let me follow it. No, she wanted him to follow this. Yeah, like, why don't you follow this? So, now I'm thinking that this means this boyfriend is straight vanilla and she needs to let him know what she's really all about.

Yeah, you know what? I do sort of get it in the sense that she maybe wanted him to know things about her that she wasn't willing to tell him. Like, I would never be able to look a guy in the eyes and be like, so just so you know. Right. This is how I roll. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you want someone to embrace that side of you,

it's like here's a, well, not exactly a subtle, but a little more subtle way to be like, why don't you look at that? What do you think of that? I don't know that that was the best move though. I feel like there's better ways to do that because I think he's thinking about that then in terms of other dudes. Yes, yes. Instead of there's like easy ways that you can just, by the way, I'm into this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Make it sound like I want to do that with you. I haven't done that with anybody else. I haven't done it because I don't do that. I haven't found the right one. I'm like, I've never done that with anyone. Right, right. This really specific thing that I would only know about.

Right. Instead, I have a whole separate social media account where I blast it out. Every girl I know knows about it. Yeah. I think that would probably know about. Right. Instead, I have a whole separate social media account where I blast it out. Every girl I know knows about it. Yeah. I think that would probably be it for me. You would break up with her? I mean, it shouldn't be, but if I'm just being realistic,

I think I would be like, like every time I'm looking at you, I'd be like, yep, yep, yep, yep. You were doing that, you were doing that, you were doing that. Other people, other guys. Does it weird you out, though, to think about girls you've been with

being with other guys? No, no. But I think the fact that there was such a drastic, not not that drastic but there was a step taken to be like i need to tell the world about all the coke and all the dick i've done with other people like i think i'm just gonna leave this one alone yeah i guess i don't know i could you know if you're cool you're cool if you're not though i i could see it being like oh i wish you didn't tell me that and i can't put that one you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube on that one. I think you would have to be a very specific kind of person to be cool with all that.

Right. I mean, basically, the idea of the Finsta is, I mean, me and John say this all the time. We let like anywhere between 5 to 10% of our real selves out. And we keep the rest hidden. Really? Pretty much. Like when you're dating it's like i'll just put out this dating i thought you meant like yeah no this right here it's fucking way too much but

i mean when it's normal people i think normal guys at least are you know when a guy's being sweet and nice and wholesome he's faking it's like come on like so uh if you've got a finsta account that's the real you that's probably probably like 80% more of what you're showing, it's probably like, alright, I think I'm out of here. Well, that's good to know, I guess. Ladies. Or, I mean, you could be cool with it, but I'm just saying,

if you're a girl and you show a guy a Finsta and it's hardcore like that, and he's like, ew, I don't look at you the same, you should be prepared for that. Absolutely. Like, either don't show him, keep it I don't look at you the same. You should be prepared for that. You should be prepared for that. Absolutely. I agree with that. Like, either don't show him, keep it a secret, or if you do, be prepared for what's going to follow. But then it's also, like, completely outside of the Finsta thing.

It's like, in a relationship, like, how much of yourself at what point in time are you supposed to be showing? Yeah, like, none of it. Like, none of it. This is what freaks me out about relationships in general. Yeah. It's crazy. Relationships are crazy.

It's like, here, just get together into this social construct where you have to hide your true self and cater to someone else's emotions. Which is why I can't. Completely irrational emotions at all times. Yeah. And you have to cater to them, make them happy, and see how it goes. Yeah. You won't go crazy day after day, month after month, year after year. Are you okay?

I'm just letting it out, girl. I'm just letting it out. Yikes. See, just stick to what you said. That's why I don't date. Stay that way. Well, I don't because I don't know how to not be myself. I don't know how to do the games and all that shit. Well, this is also a guy and a girl thing.

I think guys are the ones in the relationships who are like, alright, I'll pretend. But that's stupid. I feel like girls are more accepting than guys are the ones in the relationships who are like, all right, I'll pretend. But that's stupid. I feel like girls are more accepting than guys are with relationships. I think that. I know this is an audio podcast.

But I wish everyone could have saw my face. Like, not even a little bit. I would never, like, if a guy was weird, be weird about it. Okay, so I was on Evening Yak the other day, and Karabas said that he broke up with a girl because she farted. Well, let's get clear. Karabas is from another galaxy, okay?

He is not exactly the best social romantic barometer. He also has turned seven girls gay. Well, he didn't turn them. They just realized. He's already got to you. He's already got to you. No, that's just a a rude way to say that they realized they were gay because of him well that ain't great either so he's not

a very good example I would say that the vast majority of the time it's a girl being her complete self saying whatever she wants doing whatever she wants and the guy has to cater to her that's not fair you're god damn right it's not fair saying whatever she wants, doing whatever she wants, and the guy has to cater to her. That's not fair. You're goddamn right it's not fair!

Maybe not, though. Maybe not for, you know, your generation, since you're like a hundred years younger than me. I don't know what the fuck you guys do. Logan's shaking his head. He's like, nope, this is something that's been going on at least since fucking cavemen and women, and will be going on in the goddamn future when we're, like, flying cars and shit. I just think with social media you're seeing so much more of people it's easier to like apparently not because we have second profiles okay but like could you imagine even just that

if i if you're in a relationship the dude is like hey babe guess what actually i have a second secret social media page oh okay let me just Let me just follow that. That'll be fine. Get out of town. Okay, I would be... You'd be furious. Just because you said that if a guy's doing that, he's probably being shady. Well, your girl's probably being shady, too.

Oh, yeah, totally. So that's what I mean. One time there was this girl. I probably shouldn't tell this story, but whatever. One time there was this girl. Okay, I won't use names or anything. How do I do this? She was fucking this...

Oh, can I say that? Yeah. She was... She was fucking this girl in her sorority's boyfriend. And she only had like 14 followers on her Finsta, right? And she put on her Finsta like a Snapchat of like her in bed with this guy. And it got screenshotted. Of course.

And it's like you're clearly being an idiot. Of course. a Snapchat of like her in bed with this guy and it got screenshotted and she got found out and it's like, you're clearly being an idiot. Of course. That's, I mean, that's just straight up stupid. That was insane. But that's what these people, the people like, you know what? She probably like actually thought it through and was like, I just like, I need to put it out there for my Finsta.

You get like, you get like hooked on your Finsta. I think. Imagine, imagine thinking that, like being like, I have to let people know that I'm doing this thing. This horrible thing. Like, yeah. Either that or that was just like scorched earth. Like, yo, have to let people know that I'm doing this thing. Crazy. This horrible thing. Like yeah. Either that or that was just like scorched earth like yo I'm fucking your boyfriend and I don't care about it. Yeah maybe I don't actually know. Just put it out there. Who follows someone on Finstead? Is it just your

best friends or is it like some acquaintances? It's some acquaintances because I definitely there's girls in my sorority that I'm not that close. Who follows yours? I don't have one. Good one. I follow a couple girls in my sorority that I'm not super close with, you know, but they like requested to follow me. And they'll give you like, they'll toss you like that extra like too.

Oh, yeah. So I was all about that back in the day. Now I don't care about likes. Because I don't need to. You got so many of them. What's one when you're racking up thousands? Yeah. Well, yeah.

I mean, it worked though. That's why you're here. Because you were just getting those fake Finsta follows. That's what it was. But yeah, I follow like there, it worked, though. That's why you're here. Because you were just getting those fake Finsta follows. That's what it was. But yeah, I follow. There's a girl I follow. But people don't just post them having sex and doing drugs. Right.

I mean, I get that. But there's... My best friend, one of my best friends from home just posts pictures of her crying. Which I'm like, I would do that. That's hilarious. I just feel like there's probably some people who are like, I am a little too slutty and wild in real life for my regular Instagram. Yeah. There's a girl like that who just posted a picture of her butt and she's like, I want to post this, but I can't. I was like, you could.

Right. So that's where I'm saying if a guy follows your Finsta and sees that and he's like, all right, well, you're kind of a reckless slut. I don't think I want to date you anymore. I think that's fair. So reckless slut is something you shouldn't be? Or find the right guy who likes it. There's a lid for every pot. I'm just saying if that's not the right lid, he has every right to be like,

I think I'm out of here. Do you think he just, do you think she wanted to break up with him? Oh, maybe. It could be the preemptive breakup for sure. I mean, we've done like six years of trying to figure out how to break up. Yeah. Just like constant questions. The preemptive breakup is a thing. Yeah, like it's just like, I know where we're going.

I'm going to sabotage this now. That's horrible. Yeah, well, that's real life. It ruins my life every time I talk to him. I'm just educating. Just educating. Oh, God. That's so scary.

Right. Now I'm thinking about it. Are there ways that that happened to me? Just educating. Just educating. Oh, God. That's so scary. Right. Just. Now I'm thinking about it. Are there ways that that happened to me? You've probably been preemptively broken up with. Well, I end everything that I'm in. I don't ever. That's why she fits right in.

I don't ever love or connect. I just end all of it. Yeah, because then you get, you know, into situations that you don't want to be in. That's kind of the preemptive. Yes, you've done. You're the fucking preemptive breakup queen. No, I just ghost. Yeah, that's fine.

But I'm saying you do it in a way that's like, I'm not even going to let it get to where I know this is going. Even if along the way, let's say six months, let's say three of those months is going to be like, okay, we're actually going to have some fun and have some good memories and moments. But three more months is going to be a problem. I'm just going to end it now.

That's the preemptive breakup. And in your case, the preemptive ghost. I have done that. The ghost is the worst. You're a bitch. It's not the worst. I think it's the best. Well, you're wrong. I'm not wrong because it's like a clean break. Look at the head shaking. It's a clean break. No, it's literally

nice. It's the absolute opposite. A clean break is like, yo, this is not working. You're goddamn right I'm gonna. I would be like, a clean break is like, yeah, it's not going to work. I don't want to see you anymore. That's a clean break. She was leading me to wonder, like, what did I do wrong?

What did I say wrong? Why is she not, did she die? It's the messiest break. No, because, A, I'm gonna go through this with you. A, if a girl's not responding to you, she's not into you. That's clear cut. B. But maybe she's dead or something. No, she's not dead. She's clearly not dead.

Okay, that was A. B. I had another point. Oh, okay. So sometimes when you're in a thing that's not like a real relationship, you can't have a breakup in a non-real relationship. You're almost like making it something that it's not. Yeah, then you seem like you're crazy.

Yeah, we were just like hooking up. Yeah. Three. Or C. When you have a conversation, sometimes it makes people feel worse. Like if OK, if we were going out and you were just really boring, but like some other girl would love that you're boring. I just don't. This is actually happening. You're right. Don't say that. I'm not going to be like I would rather be ghosted than that. Right. And I'm not going to make up

something that's like I just don't. You know, I would tell you like I think. No. OK. OK. I actually. All right. Here's what you should do is preemptive breakup with a lie. You're right. Because, like, the brutal truth hurts. I don't want to lie to people. I'd rather go. Well, we don't all get what we want. What's the lie that's going to work?

Yeah, what's the lie that doesn't hurt? Yeah, like, you know, tell you that you're really great and you're going to know it's bullshit. Yeah, but it's like, all right, it's bullshit. you just don't want to be with me. But it's like, alright, it's bullshit but I get it. I probably actually do think you're great, just not for me. You know? If you said that to me I would be like, alright, that seemed pretty genuine. I think that would be better than like

she responded like every day this week and then she just stopped. Like what the fuck? It'd be like a slow fade. I would just let you bleed out slowly. I would just ruin it. Over the course of weeks. I tried to have that conversation with the last girl I dated before my wife.

And she just knew. I was like, listen, it's... And she's like, okay, bye. Yeah, that's what I mean. But you know what? You sang like, okay, so it's better than the ghost. I would rather get... If you just texted me like, hey, dot, dot, dot, I'd be like, alright, it's been real.

But thanks for the breakup. Thanks for the breakup text. Hey, we need to talk. It's done. It's done. The breakup is complete. I mean, there needs to just be like social fucking rules established where, and it's basically already is kind of unspoken, but it needs to just be on the record. If you say to someone, we need to talk, that's it.

We need to talk means we're done. Right. But I guess almost then we need to talk. And there's a new phrase that replaces. Yeah, because sometimes you do need to talk. Then you need to be like, we need to communicate about our issues. We need to talk means it's over. Shot to the back of the head.

Put you out of your misery. It could mean i'm pregnant too so sometimes things need to go a step further we can't even let's i don't even you can't even this is one quickie we need to either of us the p we'll do the p word on another fucking podcast never the never we'll never do that it it does probably hurt more in the short run it's's like, I mean, that's why people call it pulling the bandaid off. It's like, just do it now. It's going to hurt for a little bit, but I'll be able to get over it much quicker than slowly pulling it off and ruining me over the course of time.

You bitch. Well, that's probably why a lot of guys that I used to talk to think I'm a huge bitch. Probably. I'm not, though. Sounds like you're a bad breaker-upper. I am. I'm a bad breaker-upper. Well, I don't even break up with them because it's not a relationship, so you can't break

up a relationship. So you're just sleeping around and crushing hearts. Yeah. Well, I was. It is what it is. And then there was Mike. Mike. This guy, Mike.

Can we talk about the last text? We can talk about the last text. So Ellie's moving to New York soon, like a couple weeks. And Mike is the last guy you dated seriously, I'm assuming. I bet, again, not seriously. The last guy I was interested in in any kind of romantical type way. This bitch over here with the eye rolls and shit, like, pfft. Like, these

dudes ain't shit. Yeah, they're not, but none of them are. So he texts like, so, like, you're really moving, huh? And she was like, yeah, like October. And he goes, and I'm thinking, like, I'm reading the text and I'm thinking, like, here comes like, don't do it. Like, I you know what? I realize I love you or like, I'm reading the text, and I'm thinking, like, here comes, like, don't do it.

Like, you know what? I realize I love you, or, like, please stay. And he said, so I'm never going to see those tits again? With a bunch of, it's so good. I was like, yo, maybe that's, like, the preemptive breakup. I don't know what that move is. That's a wild card. I read it, and I couldn't have even... I was so shocked.

Even you, yeah. I mean, you deal with him all the time. All the time. And even you were stunned. That was way out of left field. I was like, first of all... Was that like late night? Was he drunk or something?

No. In the middle of the day? What day was that? I don't remember. It was like a weekday. It was probably at work. I'm never going to see those tits again. I was thinking about those titties, girl.

I mean, that's better than someone not wanting to see your tits ever again. I guess. Like I've said to you, I would like someone to miss my tits as opposed to not. Yeah, I just... That guy sitting around like,

oh, you heard Ellie's moving? She didn't have great tits. Who cares? Do guys talk like that? No, maybe don't tell me. I don't think I would do that. No. You would never be like, she had bad tits.

No, I don't think so. But that's also just, I think, my own opinion on boobs. You just think all boobs are great. Yeah. I'm like an equal opportunist when it comes to boobs. I'll probably judge your ass much harder than your boobs. Big, small, this, that. Okay.

Ass is more important, though. But I don't think I'd ever maliciously just be like, hey, what's up, man? Chick's got terrible tits. That just seems a little unnecessary. How would that happen? Yeah. If someone asked me, I'd be like, I don't know. I would tell you the truth.

But I don't think I would just preemptively be like, these tits suck. All right, let's get out of here before this goes further off the rails. So long story short, what I learned today is that Finstas are actually rinstas and really just designed for girls to do sex and drugs. And crying. And crying. Which is everything you need to know about a girl. The three things you always do the best. Yeah.

All right. No, don't go follow her on Twitter because I'm sick of how many Twitter followers she's racking up. So close. To? Passing you. I'm not that close. I'm not that close.

At holy underscore schnitt. Two Ts. And same thing on Instagram, right? No, it's Ellie. Oh, switch up. Ellie underscore schnitt. Yeah. Ellie underscore schnitt.

Get those follows and likes up so that she doesn't have to deal with anything that fits herself there on Insta. Yeah, that's the real me. That is my real me. Right, but your real you is also your fake you. Yeah. Right? You're just saying you kind of just put your whole shit out there, right? I don't have a fake me. That's what I'm saying.

I'm just me. Watch out. Mic drop.
