Transcript
00:00:00.000
the other thing that i've seen on these apps is women will say like talking to or dating but
0.99
00:00:04.720
they've barely dated the guy and they they almost feel entitled to his time in the early stages of
00:00:10.080
dating even though a lot of women date multiple men at the same time men also date multiple women
00:00:15.280
and it's just you know um so for those of you that don't know the tea app is an app that was
00:00:24.240
made um by basically this guy trying to protect his mom that's always how feminism starts this guy
1.00
00:00:30.160
his mom was getting ghosted she's banging criminals i guess and so this guy said you know what i'm
00:00:35.120
gonna do i'm gonna make an app where she can do background checks on guys essentially so
0.99
00:00:40.640
what it offers is you can look up the guy by name phone number um and women write basically reviews
00:00:48.720
on men which is kind of funny um i mean it's kind of crazy actually uh but i when i heard about
00:00:56.000
this app i thought why don't i offer a service where i could write good reviews for men or bad
00:01:03.280
depending on what you want you know uh but anyways it's come crashing down so women complain about the
1.00
00:01:09.520
modern dating market and how unsafe it is they talk about guys ghosting sleeping with multiple women at
00:01:14.800
the same time lying about how much money they make and not being consistent it's funny how they
00:01:20.640
complain when they're when it is their fault that dating is how it is in the first place men were
00:01:26.720
perfectly fine with knocking on a woman's front door asking her father to take her on a date men were
00:01:32.160
fine with courting a woman and men were fine with waiting for sex until marriage but women called all of
0.99
00:01:38.640
that patriarchy and dismantled the entire dynamic with feminism now we are left with the dumpster fire
1.00
00:01:44.720
that is modern day dating 80 of women want 20 or less of men and those men have a ton of options
00:01:53.600
of course women hate when things don't go their way or when they have to take an l so they do whatever
1.00
00:01:58.320
it takes to shame men into not doing the things they used to be able to get away with when they were
00:02:03.120
young and hot the latest tactic is the tea app tea is an app where women can share stories of men that
00:02:09.840
they've gone on dates with and whether they are green flags or red flags and the purpose of the tea
00:02:15.520
app is to keep women safe when it comes to dating but women don't like it's like we argue we're like
0.99
00:02:27.680
if we really cared about safety why are we flying to dubai by ourself to get poop down
00:02:32.720
by billionaires do you know what i mean so the purpose of the tea app is to keep women safe
00:02:38.400
when it comes to dating but many men are upset about the fact it's a place where women can share
00:02:42.400
a man's name pictures also phone number and say disparaging things about them without the ability
00:02:47.520
to defend themselves well there have been places like are we dating the same guy on facebook this is
00:02:52.880
the ultimate form of that because it's anonymous this app is the number one downloaded app on the app
00:02:58.640
store with thousands of women signing up this virtual woman only app lets you anonymously spill
00:03:06.800
tea on men it could actually make dating harder relationship experts say women across social media
0.96
00:03:13.760
are buzzing about tea an anonymous dating safety app where they spill the tea typically gossip secrets and
00:03:19.680
juicy information on the men that they're dating but the app has gone viral for all the wrong reasons
00:03:24.880
tea was founded in november of 2022 by a software engineer sean cook to help women feel more protected
00:03:32.080
he was inspired by his mom's bad experiences with online dating by the way it's always the mother
00:03:37.600
because um mothers raise simps right and it was actually a guy who voted for women to have the vote
00:03:46.800
because he was guilted also by his mother connecting with a catfish and even a criminal he wrote on
00:03:53.520
linkedin this women-only platform became available for download in 2023 with features like a criminal
1.00
00:03:58.560
background check and reverse image search and it's currently the number one lifestyle app with 4
00:04:03.360
million users in a 4.7 out of 5 star rating okay the app requires a user to verify that they are
00:04:12.240
women to be able to use it so many women were required to upload their driver's license and other
1.00
00:04:16.480
sensitive information to sign up to ensure they were women a couple of days ago the creators and owners
0.97
00:04:21.440
of the tea app put out a press release release that said the app was hacked and over 72 000 photos and
00:04:27.360
other sensitive information has been leaked online okay so hackers have breached the tea app which was
00:04:37.600
which recently went viral as a place for women to talk safely about men and tens of thousands of
00:04:42.160
women's selfies and photos ids have now been seemingly leaked online a spokesperson confirmed the hack friday
0.87
00:04:48.560
afternoon and a company estimates that 72 000 including 13 000 verification photos and images
00:04:55.440
of government ids were accessed t is designed to function as a virtual whisper network for women
1.00
00:05:00.880
allowing them to upload photos of men and search for them by name users can leave comments describing
00:05:06.320
specific men as a red flag or a green flag and share other information about them it's recently gained
00:05:11.600
such popularity that it became the top free app in the app store that week the app claimed thursday
00:05:18.320
to have recently gained nearly a million signups signing up for tea requires users to take selfies which
00:05:24.560
the app says are deleted after review to prove they are women all users who get accepted are promised
00:05:30.880
to be anonymous outside of their usernames that they choose taking screenshots of what's in the app is also
00:05:37.120
blocked the hacker accessed the database from more than two years ago the tea spokesperson added that
00:05:43.440
the data was originally stored in compliance law enforcement requirements to um cyber bullying prevention
00:05:51.040
okay so the response from women is kind of funny because they have no problem sharing public information
1.00
00:05:57.120
behind about men but when their public information gets leaked they get upset or their information gets
00:06:03.040
leaked they get upset so let's talk about the tea app on today's show i want you to call in and tell
00:06:08.000
me what you think of the app is it a good idea do you think women are using it for using it for what it
1.00
00:06:14.560
was meant for and why do you think that men haven't come up with a similar app for women like imagine if
00:06:20.400
there was body count app you know where you could verify you slept with her you they could start keeping
00:06:28.560
track um eric says i wonder how the authorities will treat the app if any of the women use it to report
00:06:34.160
a sadv will the cops come to knock on your door to cuff you on the basis of an anonymous app um that
00:06:40.640
you can't even access okay another one is sorveria so his mom was getting rammed by chads yeah he yeah
00:06:53.120
let's look at the tick tocks of the women talking about the tea app and see what women are saying
1.00
00:06:58.560
this tea app is lame as fuck to me for a lot of different reasons and you can see so she's more
0.98
00:07:03.200
attractive now the thing is what i've noticed is that the women that are better looking and i've seen
1.00
00:07:09.120
i've been in the i checked out some of the are we dating the same guy groups and oh my god it makes such
00:07:16.720
good content i i don't want to get kicked out but sometimes i want to do a show with some of the stories
00:07:22.320
but i like to look for like patterns in these groups and what i've noticed is the better looking
00:07:26.720
the woman the less crash out there is like it's like the ugly women that are like oh he was the
1.00
00:07:32.400
worst where the hot women are like yeah it didn't work out it's too bad uh sigh and someone has to
1.00
00:07:40.320
fucking say it now i understand the app was fully intended to expose like predators abusers you know
0.92
00:07:47.440
people of that nature and for that fully support it what we all have turned it into is something
0.99
00:07:53.360
completely different for one you are letting other talk you out of exploring pursuing dating whatever
00:08:05.280
seeing these men and you're doing this based off of their experiences the other thing that i'll talk
00:08:13.120
about is a guy treats women differently based on how attractive and likable they are he might not want
00:08:19.360
something serious with the four but the seven he's he might want something serious with and that's why
00:08:24.960
beautiful women tend to have less trauma my experience because they're not really used to
1.00
00:08:29.040
being pumped and dumped that's the mids beautiful women they don't get pumped and dumped like that i
1.00
00:08:35.040
mean most men at the very least are going to want a long-term situationship with them you literally could
00:08:41.120
be blocking your own blessings like i fully believe that people change for who they want to change for
00:08:46.400
right and i can wholeheartedly say that not every man that i've talked to dated whatever has received
00:08:53.520
the same version of me it hasn't been a consistent version of me they get different versions of me
00:08:58.560
based off of how comfortable or how vulnerable um i can be with them man one can say i'm a liar right
00:09:07.120
man two could say i'm the most honest truthful straightforward person and they both could be
00:09:12.880
valid i could have not really seen going anywhere with him and played him or not wanted to be as
00:09:22.400
honest and i could have liked this one over here and been more intentional why would i assume that a
00:09:28.480
man doesn't do the same thing then what happened to taking l's in peace like apparently y'all are
00:09:34.880
getting on this app and saying how a man dogged you the out i would be damned before i get up here in
00:09:41.920
front of strangers and list in detail how a man did me dirty what happened to just taking your l chalking
00:09:49.520
it up to game to the game learning from it and moving on like go call your home girl if you can't
00:09:57.600
take it to the grave like the rest of us do like what happened to being prideful and mind you we've all
00:10:03.680
been in situations where our judgment was clouded or we were a little foolish for a man whatever the
00:10:12.400
case is i'm not saying that i haven't but i'm not about to tell yeah and you don't like if if the roles
00:10:20.880
were reversed and we had every annoying bad thing that we ever did um in a file about us that'd be pretty
00:10:28.880
embarrassing i think women would have worse files than men would be like she took off her makeup and
1.00
00:10:34.560
i didn't recognize her y'all how i was and i'm definitely not exposing it so that the next man
00:10:41.680
can think that he can run game on me and think that i'm green like if the roles were reversed
00:10:48.160
and men were doing this we would be calling them we were and oh my gosh we would oh there would be
00:10:54.880
protests women will guard their reputation with their life saying they're gossiping and that they're
1.00
00:11:02.480
that they're losers what makes it anything like imagine if there's an app called body count
00:11:12.400
friend like girl come on then you have women exposing men's secrets and or lying on them or trying
0.72
00:11:23.280
to ruin their reputation it's just like it's not that serious ever it's never that serious over a man
00:11:30.160
there's too many in the world to do all that over like stand the up and i don't know maybe because i
00:11:37.760
just treat dating so casually like it just if it's not meant to work out it's not meant to work out and
00:11:44.400
it is what it is like we you live you learn you move on like whatever's done in the dark is always going
00:11:51.440
to come to light so granted the app might be valid in saying like oh this man is a manipulator and he
00:11:59.520
might be a manipulator across the board or he might be unfaithful across the board regardless of what
00:12:05.920
person he's with i don't know i just feel like i rather find it out for myself could the app have saved
00:12:15.440
time yes but at the same time yeah but it also can like you're letting threes like women that like
1.00
00:12:22.800
okay if someone told me they had a bad experience with someone i was dating right
00:12:30.000
and i looked at them and they were like overweight or old or ugly i'd be like well yeah of course you're
00:12:35.840
gonna have a bad experience you look like that i've worked way too hard in the gym to have the same
00:12:42.720
experience that you have i have worked way too hard for this it's kind of like when guys um say
00:12:50.480
they've had bad experiences with women and they don't you know treat them right it's like you you
00:12:55.440
look at the difference in looks level to some of the guys that say they they don't know what that
00:12:59.280
they're talking about um and women are great it's like yeah you see the the difference unfortunately
1.00
00:13:05.600
women treat chads different men treat hot women different men are much more nicer and forgiving and
00:13:11.600
aren't as judgmental to be fair it's not really the same but i'm just sometimes i use metaphors in
00:13:17.760
both like i said i'm not the same person that i am with every person so i owe every man that i am
00:13:27.680
interested in you know the opportunity to be his best self with me and if he's not then cool it's whatever
00:13:42.160
but see she's pretty so pretty women will just hop on to the next like pretty women of choice and
1.00
00:13:47.600
people act different when they can replace you they're less insecure they're less crazy but when
00:13:55.200
when women have no other choice and it's going to be a year before you meet someone on the same caliber
0.99
00:14:00.640
it's like yeah as most of you know i have been fighting on the front lines of the simp epidemic for
00:14:06.160
years but i need to tell you about a quiet weapon being ratcheted up against men that is rarely
00:14:11.040
talked about it's not just the relentless anti-masculinity propaganda and only fans hoes
1.00
00:14:15.920
causing the societal issues that we discuss on the show did you know that the average city's tap water
00:14:21.680
contains trace pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors this often includes estrogen from
00:14:26.960
birth control the average adult consumes a credit card worth of plastic every single week that's
00:14:31.840
five grams of plastic a week on average so it's no wonder that the average male's testosterone is
00:14:37.280
half of what the average was 50 years ago testosterone levels decline one percent a year and without a
00:14:43.360

00:15:48.160
but um it seems like she's happy with her choices she's a young mid young meds are are okay this tf is
00:15:54.880
getting out of control so basically this lady was talking to this single father and he was posted on a tf
00:16:01.440
five other girls was under the post saying that they talked to him too and the other thing that i've seen
00:16:08.080
on these apps is women will say like talking to or dating but they've barely dated the guy and they
00:16:13.760
they almost feel entitled to his time in the early stages of dating even though a lot of women date
00:16:18.160
multiple men at the same time men also date multiple women and it's just you know and she went ahead and
0.96
00:16:24.800
asked him about it he basically said like i don't got time for all of these i raised my child and that's
00:16:30.480
that so she sent her homeboy to go convert him he ended up through the house and unalive the little
00:16:39.600
girl which was a three-year-old i heard a story talking about it it was a three-year-old and it was
00:16:44.320
also um him ended up injured at first the t app was for a good cause it was just an app to enlighten women
00:16:52.880
on abusers grape is um who's doing like you know stuff that needs to be talked about stds stuff like
00:17:01.360
that but now y'all using a t app as a t page like just being messy as oh who with this
00:17:09.840
who like that is so childish you if you secure with yourself you shouldn't have to do
00:17:16.400
all of these back no i just want to go ahead all right let's see who's next um
00:17:27.280
yeah see these are the prettier women women are anonymously spilling the tea on men they dated on
00:17:32.480
a new viral app which has just been hacked after gaining a huge influx of new users ryan in newport
00:17:38.160
beach here's his review dated him for two years to find out when he went on his work trip he was
00:17:42.400
actually going on his honey moon upon opening tea users can see photos of local men along with their
00:17:48.160
names they can leave red flags or green flags as well as comments including about negative
00:17:53.200
date experiences or even vouching for them as a friend the app also lets users run background
00:17:58.240
checks search for criminal histories and even reverse image search to check if a man is catfishing
00:18:02.880
i just found out the guy i've been seeing has a whole girlfriend like he's in a relationship of
00:18:06.800
five years and i'm not the only other girl he's talking to while the company says their mission
00:18:10.800
is to keep women safe they've also faced backlash from men i want to say something funny so i joined
00:18:16.320
a bunch of different cities and are we dating the same guy because i wanted to see there's there's a
00:18:21.520
guy i know i wanted to see if he was on it because i just know he's always been he's always had a lot of
00:18:26.400
women and with the numbers that he runs through i'm like you've run through so many women there's no
00:18:33.600
way you're not in these pages and i looked at him in like five different cities
00:18:44.720
and i'll just say a good friend of mine who's actually a very good person
00:18:50.480
and i i would say is not that way um i would say he's pretty respectful of the women he dates in
00:18:55.680
general ends up on the page and i'm like how they fear being misrepresented or doxed on the platform i had
00:19:05.280
a female friend of mine go undercover on the tea app and i found that there are some women talking
1.00
00:19:10.800
about me they were clearly just upset they felt that they got slighted is there anything we could
00:19:15.280
do about this this is defamation this is entirely untrue tea promises anonymity to its users but on
00:19:20.800
friday morning it confirmed to nbc news that 72 000 photos were accessed without authorization including
00:19:26.880
13 000 account verification photos that were supposed to be kept private now it's possible that some of
00:19:31.840
those identifying images are being leaked online online spaces for women to talk about men they've
00:19:36.400
dated are not new you may have heard of the are we dating the same guy facebook groups which have
00:19:41.360
received their own share of controversy and have even faced lawsuits which were later dismissed but
00:19:45.840
some on the app are now saying they feel the app is geared more toward gossip than safety concerns and
00:19:50.880
that can lead to cyber bullying especially since the women are supposed to be anonymous while the men remain
00:19:56.000
in public as of now it's still the number one app on the apple app yep
00:20:05.360
yeah one of these days maybe i'll i'll do are we dating the same guy for a show and i'll show you guys
00:20:11.680
some of the some of them are funny oh my gosh some of them are like oh i talked to him i dated him
00:20:19.600
some guys get like good reviews uh so like girls will say that if a guy has herpes or something
00:20:25.920
which i'm pretty sure is illegal pretty sure you can't say that y'all are literally showing us why
00:20:30.560
we needed this app in the first place yes some people are making it messy some people are making
00:20:35.200
a mockery out of it but this app was created for women's safety you know how many women would have
00:20:40.720
been happy if they could have got a warning before talking to a man like how much time have we wasted
00:20:46.640
and how much time could we have prevented from being wasted if we had this app sooner and then
00:20:52.160
y'all wonder why we always complain about men and always say how men ruin everything men like to take
00:20:58.560
over everything like y'all prove it every single time so because y'all got triggered now all of our
00:21:04.560
information is at risk of being exposed like if it was the other way around though we would not
00:21:09.840
like that we would freak out too it's like an invasion of privacy you don't want it to be
00:21:14.320
searchable that all your friends family and whatever can see how you date all right stop
00:21:20.160
roasting this shirt you guys don't i guess you guys don't like the puffiness huh i thought it was cute
00:21:28.880
i guess you guys don't feel the same i thought it was like ooh like a a show talk you know i felt like
00:21:34.640

00:21:40.240
roasting me in the comments roasting me i'm like all right all right all right um
00:21:50.880
hold on all right let's go to the next one um let's see what these women but you see that was
1.00
00:21:58.240
the least on the team the the last woman was probably the least attractive and she was the
0.99
00:22:02.560
one saying the t app should exist so she's ugly so let's see what she says gap if you didn't hear
1.00
00:22:07.520
please delete it immediately girls it is not safe people at fortune app have unfortunately
00:22:12.800
leaked a lot of people's photos and addresses even making a map doxing where some of the t
00:22:17.760
users are living this is breaking news and happened yesterday the t app was using an insecure server
00:22:23.440
kind of like the people at fortune posting innocent people's information online but the servers are weak
00:22:28.720
people started hacking them and getting information like photos addresses of course all the information
00:22:34.320
that was given to t which could be really dangerous if given into the wrong hands it seems like another
00:22:38.560
thing that was ruined by a man as this app was made to protect us the guy who runs it made the
00:22:43.200
app because his mom had a hard time dating growing up and he just wanted to make things a little easier
00:22:47.280
on women perhaps he didn't have to make the server that easy to hack but a beautiful thought process
0.98
00:22:51.920
nonetheless i'm coming on here today to let everyone know to delete their t app asap i know a lot of
00:22:56.720
people on this app that follow me and engage in my videos are a part of it oh and i had such a good
00:23:01.680
business model going i was so ready to write whatever all right yeah see that last girl was
1.00
00:23:10.880
ugly do you see the difference um she's not full ugly but she's kind of ugly all of the women on the
1.00
00:23:17.440
t app have just been doxed and it is available for everyone to see whoever leaked the data also made a
0.67
00:23:22.480
searchable map pinpointing each and every last user mind you these are exact locations so people can
00:23:28.080
find out where you live work etc mind you if you did not know the t app is used only by a woman to
1.00
00:23:33.360
warn okay they're saying it wasn't a hack it was not encrypted in public woman about men that they
00:23:40.240
have had bad experiences with or just to find out if someone's cheating or just t in the name and there
00:23:46.400
are some men saying that the woman deserved it because of the things that they would talk about in
00:23:50.080
the app but no one deserves to have their privacy taken and exposed like that and these men don't
00:23:55.040
realize how dangerous this situation really is these women have had their ids and locations leaked to
0.97
00:24:00.240
public access making them more vulnerable for things like human trafficking but if you are one of the
00:24:05.200
women that has been doxxed i recommend that you screenshot everything for when you report it to the police
00:24:09.920
and if you don't have any security invest in some i have hope for nothing but the best and thank you for
