Rebel News Podcast - Miss Understood No. 0.2 — Honk if you hate the Olympics

00:00:00.000 Hello, and welcome to Misunderstood, a show for all you culturally and politically misunderstood

00:00:16.420 ladies and gents. We are your hosts. I'm Kat. And I'm Nat. And today we're going to be covering

00:00:21.200 an array of topics from health and relationships to everyone's favorite child author, JK Rowling,

00:00:25.900 to society. Society. Society. As usual, we're going to kick things off with our weekly culture

00:00:32.160 shock moment, and we're going to let this one speak for itself. Take it away.

00:00:39.300 This candle tastes funny. Not bad, but funny.

00:00:46.520 Well, let's describe that for people who are just listening. I would actually love to hear you

00:00:50.740 describe that. I feel like if I do that, I'm going to get in trouble. But here we go.

00:00:55.900 It's an Uber Eats ad. It's only six seconds long, and it's Gwyneth Paltrow taking a bite

00:01:01.120 out of one of her special candles. Many of you can just take a guess at what that candle

00:01:07.280 is made of. Well, it's made of probably like soy wax.

00:01:10.800 Well, yeah, but what is the smell like? Yeah, the inspiration, rather. We'll let you guys

00:01:17.340 Google that on your own. Yeah, the reason it's shocking is because

00:01:21.080 it's disgusting. Yeah, and also, you know, it's kind of gross that Uber is trying to,

00:01:26.300 Uber Eats, rather, is trying to push this disgusting thing on us as if it's appetizing.

00:01:30.920 Like when I'm going on Uber Eats, I want to eat. Yeah. First of all, like biting into a candle,

00:01:35.880 not tasty. Biting into a candle that's supposed to resemble something, not appetizing.

00:01:42.740 So Gwyneth Paltrow, you make me sick. Yeah, I have here in my notes, no. Just one note. No.

00:01:50.800 That's really it. So, all right, maybe we should move on. Yes, let us move on. What should we talk

00:01:56.280 about? Let's just, okay, so our first section that we're going to discuss is health. And you

00:02:01.240 can't talk about health without being fat phobic. No. Yeah. Without being a good fat ally or phalli,

00:02:07.940 as I'm calling it now. I like that. So this headline here, six things fitness instructors

00:02:13.640 should do to become a better fat ally. Yeah. So did you get a chance to read this article?

00:02:19.260 No. Okay. Well, I skimmed it. I skimmed it. That's really all you need to do. It's really

00:02:23.980 interesting. So there are six things. Okay. Some of them are like offer a variety of movements,

00:02:29.000 create online options, validate modifications, all things that I'm pretty sure fitness instructors

00:02:34.240 already do. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Like you go to a fitness class and they're like, this is the hard

00:02:38.720 version. This is the. Yes. Yes. Oh, yeah. No, no. We don't go to fitness classes. I don't go to fitness

00:02:43.340 classes. No, no. I have in my life. Yeah. In life. And they're like, oh, hey, you clearly suck at this.

00:02:48.300 Yeah. Here's the mod. Yeah. I don't understand why we have to. I've never seen like been in a hot yoga

00:02:52.960 class and then being like, hey, fatty, you're doing it wrong. Get out. Like they're like, let me help you.

00:02:58.340 Yeah. You don't need to go all the way down to touch your toes. That's pretty normal stuff.

00:03:01.940 Yeah. My favorite was offer a range of financing options. Are fat people poor?

00:03:09.340 I mean, I'm poor. Can I get those? That's what I mean. Can I get those financing options as well?

00:03:13.880 And where do you really draw the line here? Like, why are we catering or pandering rather to just

00:03:18.100 one type of person? Like, obviously we should encourage people. What about skinny poor people?

00:03:22.100 Well, exactly. Like us. Yeah. I'm just kidding. But you know, like, obviously if you see an overweight

00:03:29.080 person in the gym or in the fitness center, you're going to be like, yeah, all the power

00:03:32.220 to you. Like, I don't think anyone's like, get out of here. No. No, that would be really rude

00:03:36.960 and not, not empathetic. Yeah. Maybe we're the real allies. Yeah. And you know what? I've,

00:03:43.080 I've often looked up and again in the past looked up fancy fitness classes and I'm like,

00:03:48.080 oh, I can't afford that. Yeah. I will watch YouTube videos at home. Absolutely. It's like,

00:03:52.320 you can still do it. You can still get a pretty good pump in at home. It turns out. See,

00:03:58.080 see. Yeah. Look at these guns. Anyway. So, uh, that is that. That is that guys. If you can't

00:04:06.620 afford a gym membership, just get fat. Maybe you'll get one for free. Speaking of professional

00:04:10.860 athletes like us, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal says you shouldn't have to be forced to take the vaccine.

00:04:19.380 Oh, that's some bigotry. Like he's spreading misinformation and misinformation. Yeah.

00:04:26.980 He should be banned from everything and should lose his house and his rights to see his family.

00:04:32.280 To have such a logical and open-minded view of things. It's disgusting. It's just,

00:04:38.560 he makes me sick. And what does he know about health? Yeah. What does a professional athlete

00:04:42.880 who's dedicated his whole life to fitness know about health? Yeah. No, he couldn't possibly. And,

00:04:48.920 uh, you know, not that it's important, but he's also a man of color. And often we've found that

00:04:54.620 people who are the most vaccine hesitant are members of the black community because they have

00:04:59.300 historical reasons of being, yes, you know, um, untrustworthy of government medical interventions.

00:05:05.760 Which arguably we all should be. Of course we should, but it's like, what are we going to do?

00:05:10.060 Call him a bigot, a racist, a misogynist? Like what, what isms can we throw at Shaq? Let's just start

00:05:15.480 throwing him at him. Hot-ism. Wait, he's too old, but. Tall-ism. Rich. Talented-ism. So rich.

00:05:22.680 So muscular-ism. But it's kind of weird that the NBA of all sort of leagues kind of has the most

00:05:28.740 outspoken athletes about vaccine mandates. It's kind of interesting. I wonder if it has anything

00:05:32.900 to do with the, the statistic that we, well, it's not really, I didn't throw out any numbers,

00:05:37.080 but the fact that the African-American community is quite vaccine hesitant. No,

00:05:40.740 it's a good point. Um, so anyway, Shaquille O'Neal is a bigot. Forget him. He's canceled.

00:05:46.440 Shaquille who? Yeah. Um, okay. So there's our next headline. Yeah. There's a disturbing rise in the

00:05:52.560 cult of hardline anti-vaxxers. So speaking of bigots. Yeah. You're a bigot. You're a bigot. We're

00:05:58.340 all a bunch of bigots. We're all bigots. This is in the Toronto Star, so I'm not shocked. No. By the

00:06:03.420 headline whatsoever. It's just like, first of all, the language, just the headline alone,

00:06:08.420 disturbing cult, hardline anti-vaxxers. Like, can you be more dramatic? No, seriously. And my

00:06:17.200 favorite part is they go in, they, if you read the article, it says a cult is generally considered

00:06:22.160 to be a group or movement held together by a shared belief. So I eat, ain't that you guys too?

00:06:26.880 Cause you guys like the media, the mainstream media is completely perpetuating this pro-vax narrative.

00:06:32.040 Are they part of a cult or is it just the rest of us? Yes. Okay. Yeah. We're all right. Everyone's

00:06:36.360 in a cult. We're all cultists. Yes. So that's interesting. And then they also say, try not to

00:06:41.920 engage with anti-vaxxers online. Maybe that's cause if we start having conversations with each

00:06:47.740 other, uh, we'll see that we're not so different and that's not good for their business. Absolutely.

00:06:52.720 That's a really good point. So, uh, and they want us to be divided. It's also funny because

00:06:57.220 going back to last week when Justin Trudeau said that it was a, I can't believe that was only a week

00:07:02.000 ago. Oh gosh. My gosh. Anyways, the small fringe minority of people with unacceptable views. Um,

00:07:08.020 they are now Toronto star is now saying there's a rise, a disturbing rise. So it's like, is it a

00:07:13.660 small minority people or is it like a lot of people? That's a good point. They're kind of

00:07:18.920 shooting themselves here. Like they don't even know what, what's going to work with us anymore.

00:07:23.780 They're just throwing anything. It's like just a small group of people. Okay. It's a lot. And it's

00:07:27.280 disturbing how many people it's like, what? Yeah. And I feel like we've talked about this before,

00:07:30.980 but the article does kind of say that this stemmed from the freedom convoy, but aren't

00:07:35.080 like a majority of truck drivers vaccinated. I'm pretty sure it's a large chunk, something

00:07:39.400 like 90%. That's what they're throwing around, but it's hard to know. It is hard to know for

00:07:42.680 sure, but that's the common statistic. Right. Exactly. So, I mean, how can you be anti-vax and

00:07:48.240 vaccinated? Yeah. Well, I, I just posted, uh, or retweeted someone on Twitter today that was

00:07:53.300 like, um, just a, a girl holding up a sign. She was covering her face with it, but she was

00:07:58.300 like, I'm triple vax. I'm anti-vaccine mandate. And it's like, that's not, she's not the only

00:08:02.740 one. She's not the only one. We've seen multiple people. There's a fringe minority of people.

00:08:07.340 No, I'm just kidding. Yeah. But like, those are the, those people are so cool because they,

00:08:13.820 I mean, they did the thing, they got their vaccine, which I'm like, whatever, that's not

00:08:17.340 my choice. But I, I applaud you for making your own medical decision. But they're also like,

00:08:22.180 they have spines and brains and they're coming out and they're like, I made the choice, but

00:08:26.340 everyone should have that choice. And I really respect those people. Yeah, absolutely. We have

00:08:30.500 to be able to live together, just respecting each other's differences. No, you sound crazy.

00:08:35.920 I sound like Shaquille. Yeah. Wow. What a bigot. If only I was as rich and tall as him.

00:08:40.840 One day, one day, one day. Let's talk a little bit about relationships. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

00:08:46.580 It is. It is almost V-Day. So let's talk about all the horrible things happening in the world of

00:08:52.420 love. This headline, almost one in 10 moms aren't sure who fathered their baby. So, uh. What?

00:09:01.600 Yep. So apparently they surveyed a thousand British moms finding that 7.8% admitted to lying

00:09:07.020 over the biological lineage of their children. Lying. Oh my goodness gracious. So that means that

00:09:14.520 women have been busy and they don't know. They're, they're too busy. They're doing their

00:09:19.700 careers. They don't have time to remember. I was going to say they're too busy sleeping around,

00:09:23.460 but yeah, but I mean, didn't Obama say something about like the importance of fathers, you know,

00:09:29.460 how like children are five times more likely to live in poverty when they don't have a dad,

00:09:33.320 uh, and commit crime nine times more likely to drop out of schools. 20, 20 times more likely to end up

00:09:38.520 in prison. So I think like, it's interesting how the media is really trying to push this fatherless

00:09:43.320 narrative as if, as if it should be glorified in it. And really it's very detrimental to people's

00:09:48.880 wellbeing. You know, we spoke with this, I think in our last episode of how, or maybe it was when

00:09:53.100 we were talking to Sheila on the gun show. Oh, true. But we're talking about how the media is

00:09:57.760 pushing this narrative on young women and they've been doing it for years. This is not even new for

00:10:02.200 maybe 10 years, but it's like, um, having multiple sexual partners is totally cool. And it's like sex

00:10:07.340 positive. And you're really like, you're really limiting yourself if you're just choose just to be a

00:10:12.880 mother, like as if raising, giving birth to and raising a child is like piffy. Yeah. Like, oh,

00:10:18.500 that's all you've done. Yeah. That's you brought life into the world and then created a human being

00:10:22.800 and a little person. Yeah. And why do you think there's such a blatant attack on the nuclear family?

00:10:28.000 Like we know that parents statistically grow up to be more successful when they have a mother and a

00:10:33.340 father. And that's not to say a single mom can't do it. Oh no, for sure not. No, that's not to say

00:10:36.760 that. But like, there's just this even BLM, you know, jumped on this bandwagon with the

00:10:40.420 denuclearization of the family and all this. Like, why do you think they're doing that?

00:10:43.760 Do you think it's because society needs strong families in order for society to be strong?

00:10:48.380 Yeah. And I think the tinfoil hat theory is that like, you know, that world economic forum thing

00:10:54.960 that was like, you'll have nothing and be happy. Like it's more likely that you'll have nothing if

00:10:58.960 you don't have a family to support you. And if you're, um, reliant on the government for welfare,

00:11:04.100 that's also good for the government because they can say, look how many people need welfare.

00:11:08.320 Look how many people need help. So we're going to raise taxes. And so people who are trying to pay

00:11:12.440 their way are paying into a system and they're like, well, why am I going to pay into the system

00:11:16.360 and not benefit from it? It's just like this circular thing where at the end of the day,

00:11:21.420 everyone's on welfare. Nobody has family. Like no one owns anything. You're not inheriting property

00:11:27.240 from your grandparents. Like you're relying on the government. And I think ultimately that's what

00:11:30.980 they want. They want us to live in cubes, eat bugs, have nothing. And don't, and not to bathe,

00:11:35.060 but that's for another day. Great. Well, that's interesting. So theory I have, but it's not my

00:11:40.800 own theory. And well, it's a good theory. And I mean, like we said before, if you're a single mom,

00:11:45.060 like all the power to you, but I really think like there needs to be a shift in society where we're

00:11:48.960 pushing for parents to stay together or, you know, just not sleep around with a million guys and not

00:11:55.500 know who your kid's dad is. That's the bedrock. That's the bedrock. Knowing who the father of your

00:12:01.140 child is. But this article is not just saying that they don't know. It's like they're lying

00:12:04.760 about it, which is incredibly shocking and upsetting to men out there. It is. Like a dad

00:12:10.080 deserves to know. He should have parental rights as well. Yeah. And just to know that that's his

00:12:15.400 child. Yeah. I think there's a Kanye West song about this. 18 years, 18 years. I think there's a

00:12:20.320 Kanye West article about this, which maybe we should talk about next. Oh, yes. So let's pull,

00:12:27.220 I know we're skipping around. There's so much going on with Kim and Kanye right now. And to tell you

00:12:34.300 the honest truth, I don't care about any of it, but I think it's interesting because they're just,

00:12:39.580 there's so much going on. Like I don't care about their little family squabbles, but since we wrote

00:12:43.860 our list to talk about today, like more drama has happened with the two of them where what,

00:12:48.300 so what happened last week? Okay. So he's not happy because his daughter North, who's eight years old,

00:12:53.180 is on TikTok. And Kim says, I guess she supervises her and she says, well, she should be allowed

00:12:58.200 to go on this platform that brings her happiness, which, okay, sure. But we,

00:13:01.860 she's eight. That's the thing. And we know social media has detrimental impacts on a woman's body image,

00:13:07.080 depression. I mean, look, when you go on Instagram, who do you see? You see Bella Hadid and her $200,000

00:13:11.620 face. Like, I can't compete with that. No, it doesn't make me feel good.

00:13:15.260 It doesn't make me feel good. Or like people traveling or people getting married. It's all stuff like what,

00:13:18.800 what you don't have. That's all Instagram is. Exactly. And it's, it's all about comparison.

00:13:22.580 And an eight year old can't process that. No, no. So I don't really think, I don't think Kanye's

00:13:26.960 out of line here at all when it comes to that. I think the saddest thing is just how public this

00:13:31.300 divorce clearly is. And I'm just wondering how it's trickling down and to, to impact their children,

00:13:37.080 you know? Well, apparently it's not, it's not happening in a nice way because, uh, as of this

00:13:42.300 weekend, I think it was yesterday, Kim, sorry, Kanye accused Kim of accusing Kanye of kidnapping

00:13:50.840 their child. I don't know which child it was. Probably North. Yeah. Um, I think she's quite

00:13:56.120 close with her dad. Yeah. So like, so Kim Kardashian hasn't technically accused him of anything, but

00:14:02.600 Kanye West is accusing Kim of accusing him of kidnapping. It's like, what's happening in these

00:14:08.860 poor children's lives? Yeah. And it's hard to know what's really going on because we obviously are not

00:14:13.300 them. But I think just, just the fact that it's such a public thing is so destructive. I don't know.

00:14:18.260 I just hope that they can work things out and do what's actually best for their kids rather than,

00:14:21.940 you know, fuel this unnecessary drama. Yeah. Well, when you just said that, it reminded me

00:14:27.300 that they are celebrities and that staying in the limelight is probably the most important thing

00:14:31.180 for their business. So while like when I was growing up, my parents were divorced and it was

00:14:34.660 like everything that went on there was behind closed doors and nobody cared. And that was just my

00:14:38.580 own little personal trauma to deal with. But I'm thinking how much worse would it be if it was on TMZ?

00:14:44.020 Yeah. But then you're like, well, then they could just keep it private.

00:14:46.700 Celebrities go through divorces and we don't hear about it. Yeah. And they're making theirs

00:14:51.640 very public. No, that's a really good point. So maybe they're doing it on purpose. Well,

00:14:55.120 then, you know, my advice to you, Kim and Kanye, is maybe you should put your children first

00:14:58.960 rather than your careers. You rich enough. You rich enough. Yeah. I would think that they're

00:15:02.880 like pretty much royalty. I think so too. They're like American royals. They're basically like

00:15:06.600 the cooler Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Yeah. With a bigger butt. Yeah. They're like bigger

00:15:11.580 butted Kim, Michael and whatever their names are. The queens. They're very irrelevant.

00:15:17.700 The ginger and his wife. Yeah. So I guess with all these divorces happening, it might be easier

00:15:24.520 to be single. And according to another woman, according to another woman, she has decided

00:15:29.560 that this is the route she's going to take for the rest of her life.

00:15:32.520 The article titled, I'm 37. I might be single forever. And I'm happy with that.

00:15:38.420 Are you? I don't know. Because it sounds like the fact that you're talking about it so much,

00:15:44.000 maybe you're not so happy with it. She's like overcomments it. Yeah. No, really. I'm really

00:15:47.900 happy. I can't have, I don't have any money to do laundry. I'm so happy about it. You guys,

00:15:52.340 it's amazing. So here's the article. And there is like a plethora of photos. We are not going to look

00:15:58.680 them all because it's too indulgent. But this woman is having like a sexy photo shoot. By herself.

00:16:04.000 By herself on her bed. And it's like, who are you talking to on that rotary phone?

00:16:07.360 Yeah. Like, do you know the phone numbers of any of your friends? That's such, that's such BS.

00:16:11.920 I don't. No. 9-1-1 is all I got. Honestly. And I mean, okay, obviously marriage is not a guarantee,

00:16:18.780 but don't you think this is kind of admitting defeat? She's not 90 and like old. She's young.

00:16:22.800 She's cute. Yeah. Like you've got your whole life ahead of you, girl. Maybe she thinks this is a way to

00:16:26.640 meet a man. Like put yourself out there. They're like, they're like, we need someone to do this

00:16:30.420 article. And she's like, Ooh, like, you know, get a couple of, I bet her IG is tagged in that

00:16:34.680 article. Oh, you know what? You know what? She's gotten some DMs. She has. I think you're right.

00:16:39.340 Maybe she's a genius. I mean, maybe she's married already. Yeah, that's true. She's a, she's a scam

00:16:44.860 artist. That would be so funny. Like, nevermind. I'm married. You can donate to my wedding fund here.

00:16:50.560 I wish her the best though. Oh, I know. And I mean, okay. It would be hard to date in a pandemic,

00:16:54.900 especially because you know, the political climate right now is just like insane. Vax versus

00:16:59.200 unvaxed, conservative versus liberal. I mean, I wouldn't want to do it, but I'm wondering if

00:17:03.700 maybe this is a result of having too much choice because of social media, not social media apps,

00:17:08.360 dating apps. Do you think that makes it a bit overwhelming for people because there's always

00:17:11.640 the next best thing? I think so. I really think that's a psychological problem that's happening

00:17:17.100 with too much choice. Like we've all been to a restaurant with too many items on the menu and it takes you

00:17:20.900 way longer to pick what you want than a menu. That's like, you got meat and potatoes or you got

00:17:25.060 salad? Like, what do you want? And it's like, I want the meat and potatoes personally. But I think

00:17:30.180 you're absolutely right. And maybe because our dating pools have become so small because of the

00:17:37.000 pandemic, maybe people, and that's not even a good thing because what's going to happen is people are

00:17:41.220 only going to be dating inside their own little ideological group. That's a good point. That's not great.

00:17:45.460 No. Because then we're going to have, we're going to have a freaking Israel situation where we just

00:17:50.220 have the, seriously, the, like the offspring of the two groups are never going to have any

00:17:55.080 interaction with each other because people are going to take them out of school and put them in

00:17:58.180 homeschooling. And then all the kids left in public funded schools are going to be like super lefty

00:18:02.080 families. And then you're like in 20 years, like what is society going to look like? Very divided.

00:18:06.540 Yeah. That doesn't make me happy. No, that's not a good thing. So, um, date people,

00:18:10.780 go online, talk to people, have frugal conversations. Try to have empathy for your,

00:18:15.540 for your fellow man and woman. Yeah, don't be like the Toronto Star. Yeah, don't be like the

00:18:18.920 Toronto Star, guys. And don't be like all of mainstream media during Christmas when they were

00:18:23.020 like, don't invite your un-vaxxed family members to Christmas dinner. It's like, oh my gosh,

00:18:26.960 I've never seen the media be so blatantly divisive in my, well, my very short, short life.

00:18:33.360 We're only 16, so we've got a lot to learn. That's funny. Yeah, good stuff.

00:18:39.960 You know, going back to this woman, she's 37, she wants to be single. This next article that

00:18:44.220 we're going to talk about may actually justify her decision to want to be single. Um, so there's

00:18:50.120 a woman here who learns her boyfriend is the tinder swindler and then she swindles him back.

00:18:55.000 Oh, the tinder swindler. So I actually didn't know this, but apparently it's a Netflix documentary.

00:18:59.420 Oh my gosh. So we should probably watch that. We should probably watch that. Um, that sounds

00:19:02.760 really interesting. Yeah, it is. So I guess. And depressing. It sounds really depressing that this is where,

00:19:07.260 where it's gotten to in society. Um, so basically this woman said she was boarding a plane and then

00:19:13.240 she read an article that basically was about her boyfriend at the time. And I guess he scams other

00:19:18.000 women and uses all their money to like get other women basically. So she discovers this, she gets

00:19:23.380 off the plane and then she calls the police and then she's like, I'm going to get him back. Yeah, girl.

00:19:29.100 So I guess he was like searching for some money or something, which is kind of a red flag. He's

00:19:32.680 allegedly rich. This is why you're dating this guy. Yeah. He's asking you for money. Kind of weird.

00:19:37.040 Yeah. So I guess she's bought him a lot of stuff, like giving him about $140,000 worth of stuff and

00:19:43.820 money, I guess. So she starts selling some of his stuff as payback. Yeah. But like, I don't know,

00:19:48.960 I would probably want to be single at 37 if this is what was out there. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's her husband?

00:19:53.580 No, this was her boyfriend. Okay. Okay. Thank goodness. Oh my gosh. I know.

00:19:56.720 So much worse. What a messy divorce. I didn't even explain that in court.

00:19:59.880 But seriously, whose skis are they? Well, I bought them for him, but he's swindling people. So I sold

00:20:05.700 them to this lady. So now technically they're her skis, but he wants them in the divorce. It's too

00:20:10.700 much. It's too much. The judge would be like, y'all are clowns. Get out of here. But this guy was like

00:20:15.060 selling himself as like an heir to something. And it's like, if you're dating this guy, who's allegedly

00:20:20.060 rich, why are you giving him money? Probably is like, you know, that old scam. That's like the African

00:20:25.180 prince whose like money is tied up. It's like, send me a check for $10,000 and I can free up my

00:20:30.140 million dollars of assets and I'll send you 50 grand. It's like, this is like the oldest scam in

00:20:34.780 the book. Wow. And it's still going strong, I guess. But I mean, good for her. All the power to

00:20:39.400 you lady for swindling him back. You get him, girl. You get him. And then maybe go on Hinge and meet

00:20:45.040 someone new. Maybe just try again. Yeah. Just redo. Roll the dice. Try to love again. I'm sure

00:20:50.540 there's nice guys out there. Yeah. Right? Oh my gosh. I hope. Oh, I hope. We hope and pray. We hope

00:20:58.520 and pray. All righty then. On to single mothers who have done very well for themselves. JK Rowling.

00:21:06.960 JK Rowling. Should we talk about JK Rowling? Yes. So on, oh my goodness, this is such a weird

00:21:13.200 one. So on Friday, JK Rowling was trending on Twitter. And when I always click on the things

00:21:19.980 that interest me when they're trending. So I was like, I'm sure there's something to do with JK

00:21:23.800 Rowling here. So I click on the, the trend and what comes up is a article or super, super, super sad

00:21:30.700 article about a transgender woman who was murdered in Iraq by her brother. Horrifying story. Tragic

00:21:38.280 murder of this poor woman. I'm not sure why it had to do like what it had to do with JK Rowling.

00:21:45.120 There was no mention of her in the article in any way. It's just another way of tying transphobia

00:21:52.040 to JK Rowling, even though she's involved in this. Not at all. Not at all. That completely takes away

00:21:59.780 from this person's death. Yeah. Like trying to make it about some bullshit thing that's completely

00:22:04.860 irrelevant. Yeah. Like her name should have been trending. Yeah. Instead of JK Rowling's name.

00:22:09.580 And imagine you're her family and you're like, what? Absolutely. Why are they bringing in this

00:22:13.400 British author? What does she have to do with my child's murder? Also in what world has JK Rowling

00:22:20.420 ever said anything hateful about trans people? That's the thing. Like nobody in the world wants

00:22:25.120 a trans person dead because they're trans. Only murderers. Only murderers. There's already like a law

00:22:31.120 against that. Yeah. It's murder. Anti-murder. So I really, I don't know. This is just, it's so

00:22:36.120 disgusting that it's stooped this low. Yeah. Yeah. Like they're using this poor person's death

00:22:41.200 as a reason to like drag JK Rowling more. Yeah. Like maybe his, the murderer's name should be

00:22:47.500 trending so people know that name. Yes. For accountability. Like we got to like honor the

00:22:52.480 dead. Yeah. Yeah. It seems like a silly thing and Twitter should be ashamed of themselves once again.

00:22:58.760 As per usual. Okay. This is a fun one. Yes. We're going to, it's still about JK Rowling,

00:23:06.100 but it's more fun. Yeah. So, um, which Harry Potter character are you? Nat and I took this quiz.

00:23:14.060 Um, I'm not happy with my results. I don't know how to feel about my results, but you guys should do

00:23:20.420 the quiz and let us know. It's super fun. It's also a really good way for big, um, tech to get a lot of

00:23:25.680 information on you. They're like, they're like, what is the, what is the newspaper that you read

00:23:30.080 every day? And it's like, how, what? None of these are the quibbler. Like, like none of them have

00:23:35.380 anything to do with Harry Potter. Um, but they're just ways of gathering data on you. So go ahead,

00:23:40.380 give them your data. Who cares? Um, so I'm going to tell you what results I got. Yes, please.

00:23:46.820 Drum roll. I got Ron Weasley. Okay. I got Ron Weasley. Why? I don't know. I'm the ginger sidekick.

00:23:57.120 Well, he's who has no, no powers. I mean, he has some powers. He's a wizard, but he's not a good

00:24:01.220 wizard. He has a rat like, and it's not even a real rat. It's like a guy. Peter Pettigrew. Oh,

00:24:05.940 he's horrible. Yeah. I mean, but he is part of like Harry's clan. I know, but he's like a shadow,

00:24:11.280 I guess. But he, you know, he has some success. He gets, he ends up getting it on with Hermione.

00:24:16.440 I know. Couldn't I have been Hermione? They're like, no, you're too dumb for that. You're not

00:24:20.940 as annoying as Hermione. That's why. That's true. Ron is less annoying than Hermione, but still really

00:24:26.740 sad. Yeah. Well, you know, mine's a little weird too. I mean, what'd you get? I got Luna Lovegood.

00:24:32.580 Oh, see, she's cool. Yeah. She's really cute. She's super cute. But I don't know.

00:24:37.560 Quibbler. That's how she talks. Yeah, that is how she talks. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. See,

00:24:40.860 you should have Luna. I can only say her saying Quibbler. But my favorite part about this quiz

00:24:44.760 is it doesn't give you any reason why. It's just like, this is who you are. It's like, well,

00:24:48.340 what about me and Luna are the same? They're like, doesn't matter. We're going to advertise a Nissan

00:24:52.240 to you later. That's exactly what happened. Yeah. Now I bought a Nissan. Oh boy. So that's fun.

00:24:58.960 Guys, go out and do it because it's fun. Yeah. We'd love to hear your results. Yeah. But you're

00:25:02.420 going to get a lot of targeted ads after you do it. Yes. Yes, you will. But you know what? Who doesn't

00:25:06.220 have targeted ads? Don't blame us, please. Speaking of ads, maybe we should read one. Oh my God, this is perfect.

00:25:10.700 Yes. This is a perfect opportunity. Wait, so we have a sponsor? Yes, we do. It's so exciting. Yes,

00:25:15.120 we've never been more excited about anything in our lives. Bitcoin 2022 is the largest Bitcoin event

00:26:22.480 us. Okay. Well, let's talk about Joe Rogan then. Yeah, let's talk about Joe Rogan. I'm sorry. Yeah,

00:26:29.640 we have to. I know, we have to. Like, I'm like, this week we're not going to talk about Joe Rogan,

00:26:32.820 I promise. And it's like, well, we have to talk about Joe Rogan. No, we literally have to. So much

00:26:36.200 has happened. Oh my gosh. Every time I go on Twitter, it's like trucks and Joe Rogan. So let's

00:26:42.260 just talk about Joe Rogan. Basically, Spotify is standing behind Joe Rogan, which is awesome. So kind of

00:26:49.940 there's all sorts of stuff happening. They are, they made him remove 70 episodes where he used

00:26:57.020 the N word. Right. And I, I've listened to Joe Rogan for like five years and I've never heard

00:27:02.740 him say it, but I know he has because they have this compilation of him saying it. He says it's,

00:27:07.820 and he, and he says, prefaces this by saying, it's not my word. I shouldn't have used it. However,

00:27:12.380 the context was, I was quoting people who had said it, like song lyrics, lines from Quentin Tarantino

00:27:19.240 Films, who's also a white person who uses that word all the time. So it's like, context should

00:27:24.580 matter. Context should matter. You know, and I, I, I almost don't think he should have apologized.

00:27:28.800 Obviously that word is horrific and we shouldn't use it. But, but when you apologize, you're kind

00:27:34.160 of bending a knee to the mob and the mob is last week. Yeah. That's what I mean. Like it just,

00:27:38.640 that's not, you're never safe when you apologize to the mob. He made one apology and now he's had

00:27:42.680 to make a second one and people are still going for the throat. But Spotify is saying, so he removed the 70,

00:27:48.120 um, episodes where he uses the word and we're doing this thing where we're putting the warning

00:27:53.700 on controversial episodes. And they're like, that's pretty much all we can do. He Spotify CEO,

00:27:59.240 I think it's Daniel Eck. He said, um, canceling him, silencing him is not the answer. And I totally

00:28:06.080 agree. Yeah. When you, when you silence, like, where do you draw the line here when it comes to

00:28:10.120 censoring people? And I actually think like, should he ever get deplatformed? This is like, that sets a

00:28:15.620 horrible precedent for the rest of us because he is one of the largest podcasters like in the world.

00:28:20.940 It's not looking good. No, it's not looking good. So we'll go to whatever platform he's on

00:28:24.500 when he gets canceled, if he ever gets canceled. Um, but yeah, I think if he was to get removed

00:28:30.840 from Spotify, which, you know, could happen cause they're saying this it's today by tomorrow,

00:28:35.040 everything could be different. Um, if he left, he has a million, 11 million people that are going to

00:28:39.580 follow him, including myself. Like I'll just download whatever platform. Like I don't care about Spotify.

00:28:43.380 Yeah. No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not listening to Spotify. I'm listening to Joe Rogan.

00:28:47.440 Absolutely. And I think the CEO knows that. And I think it's nice that this kind of big tech

00:28:51.440 corporation has backed him in that regard, because you don't see that very often in 2022.

00:28:55.820 No, you don't. You usually see people just going, okay, mom, whatever you want,

00:28:59.760 please don't poke me in the butt with your pitchfork. Yeah. But anyway, it's really important.

00:29:03.940 I think to keep following this story because like I said, it's going to set a precedent for the rest of us.

00:29:09.140 If, if this massive, massive commentator gets booted, well, he's the biggest broadcaster on the planet

00:29:14.740 right now. So if he's going to get canceled, people who listen to him are just going to follow him.

00:29:19.620 Yeah. Other than us. Other than us. He's like, he's got like a couple more followers than us.

00:29:23.700 One or two million or 20 million or 11 million more. Whatever. Whatever. Semantics. You know what?

00:29:29.000 But you know, so it, it, this whole like censorship thing that's been happening in society is a little

00:29:32.600 bit dystopian. Maybe we should talk about some dystopian novels. Why is the generation of dystopian

00:29:39.260 literature? Okay. With authoritarian rule. This is an article from Evie. We love Evie. Um, yes,

00:29:45.160 we do. This is a really good question. So the picture on the article is classic. It's Katniss Everdeen.

00:29:51.340 Um, it's weird how a generation of young girls and boys who grew up reading like insurgent and,

00:29:58.080 um, what's it? Divergent. Divergent. Hunger Games. Hunger Games. Maze Runner. Sure. All of those

00:30:04.420 people that read those books, they have no problem with actual authoritarianism when it comes and slaps

00:30:08.680 them in the face in real life. Yeah. Very strange. So the article has a couple theories on that. Um,

00:30:14.120 one of them is the fact that a lot of these books actually distract from the authoritarianism because

00:30:19.160 of romance. Yeah. And then the other one is the fact that kids just don't know history. And I think

00:30:23.060 that's the scariest thing. Yes. That part of the article was very telling. Yes. Like so many

00:30:28.260 Americans don't know what the civil, what I think that's the example they use the civil war. They're

00:30:32.920 like, who won the civil war? And like, I forget the stat, like what the percentage was, but it was a

00:30:36.940 very high percentage of students who were like, I have no idea who was even fighting in the civil war.

00:30:43.000 It's like, well, it kind of tells you right in the name. Um, it's very upsetting and scary because if you

00:30:48.800 don't know your history, you're bound to repeat it. Yes. You're bound. And we're seeing that right now

00:30:52.640 with the COVID-19 pandemic, right? Like we're, we're seeing a government overreach that we've

00:30:57.500 never seen in our lifetime before. And I think you'd think kids would be able to recognize it

00:31:01.420 because we've grown up reading these stories and the hate that's being manufactured by the media

00:31:05.740 and the government for your fellow man is, is so palpable and terrifying. And remember a couple

00:31:13.020 of weeks ago, there was that, um, clip from, I think it was a Quebec broadcaster and they, it was

00:31:18.180 like a televised event and there were people, adults talking to children in Quebec and they

00:31:23.120 were asking them, what should we do with people who are not vaccinated or refuse to be vaccinated?

00:31:27.460 And the kids were like, I think they should go to prison. It's like, that's, this is no good.

00:31:34.040 No, no, no good people. That's like brainwashing. Yes. It's absolutely terrifying. Like who,

00:31:39.740 what kind of vitriol and hatred have those parents and teachers been pouring onto these soppy

00:31:44.900 sponge brained children? No. And are they ever going to grow out of that hate? I don't know.

00:31:49.860 I mean, God willing, we should definitely pray for the children. Uh, let's just take a moment to

00:31:53.660 pray for them right now. Maybe pause the episode and you know, um, get down on them knees, get down

00:31:59.040 on them knees. Cause it's scary. It's terrifying. It's so scary. And this is being normalized every

00:32:04.320 day in Canada. Like this is, you know, like man, history repeats itself. It's so funny. Like I'm

00:32:09.300 just trying to picture like a 17 year old kid right now reading hunger games, like in their sweat

00:32:14.860 pants with like Uber eats on the way and Netflix on in the background. And they're like, Oh,

00:32:18.300 this is horrible. Like I'm, I'm such a Katniss. Like I would totally stand up against that regime.

00:32:22.780 And then meanwhile, they're like mask up. Yeah. Do you think part of the problem is

00:32:26.860 cause so many people are team PETA and he's icky to me. He's such a soy boy.

00:32:33.360 PETA. Which one's he? He's the one she chooses. I think. Oh yeah. He's the one that got all skinny

00:32:38.620 because he was in the Capitol and he was brainwashed and abused. Yes. Like if that's who you're looking up to

00:32:44.580 as like a symbol of man. No, I liked the other one. Me too. The angry one. Me too. The masculine

00:32:49.520 one. Yeah. Who was like, I'm going to kill him. And they're like, no, there's a better way. And

00:32:52.400 he's like, I don't care. Yeah. Like that's, maybe that's the problem. All these women are like,

00:32:56.300 Oh, I like the soy boy. Yeah. Like the little one. And that's why we got no fight. Yeah. We got no

00:33:00.820 fight in us anymore kids because we're all just reading these novels about dystopias, but we're not

00:33:05.800 standing up when we're living in one ourselves. No. Weird. Weird. The braid isn't going to save you guys. No,

00:33:11.700 the braid will not cut the braid off and get your, I don't know. Get a cute lob and stand up and

00:33:17.640 peacefully protest against the government. Yeah. Go hug a trucker. Um, why are Kendall Jenner and

00:33:23.460 Haley Bieber allowed to park illegally in handicapped spots now? Do you know? Um, I know why. Why? It's

00:33:29.440 because celebrities can do whatever the heck they want, even if it involves breaking the law. Look at the

00:33:34.300 title of this. Yeah. We park in handicapped spots. Gotta dodge the paparazzi. So the funny thing is

00:33:40.600 they're sick. Is that a direct quote? Yeah. I think so. I think it's not. They bring their

00:33:45.000 security with them anyway. So what do you mean about dodging the paparazzi? You literally have

00:33:48.860 paid protection and you have paid paparazzi. Yeah. Like frigging Kendall Jenner. Like the

00:33:53.420 Jenners are notoriously bad for that. Yeah. Having like, Oh, I just stepped out of my car and it's

00:33:57.920 like, you're not carrying a wallet. Like, where are you going? Yeah. No, I mean, I got out of your car

00:34:02.320 with no car keys. We do it all the time too, though. Admitted drive without car keys. No, we get out,

00:34:06.840 we call the paparazzi. Oh yes. They never show up though. We're like, we're going to be on the

00:34:11.980 corner pretending to get out of our car. You can take pictures of us. We're holding cups,

00:34:16.080 Starbucks cups. And we wait for hours. It's freezing. But like also can't they carpool

00:34:23.180 or call an Uber or something? Yeah. They're going to carpool. Okay. They're going to get in their

00:34:27.280 friend's mom's van that's already going downtown. That's a good point. But they could take their like

00:34:31.200 private jet. Helicopter. Like, right. They could just like drop and then get out and then the

00:34:36.080 helicopter can keep going. Like parking. Oh, there's pictures too of them actually parked in

00:34:40.880 a handicapped spot. It's just so funny because all these people preach. Oh yeah. All these people

00:34:46.380 preach at us, you know, about how we're supposed to live our lives. We got to be good citizens,

00:34:50.440 you know, take care of our whoever. Responsible. Yeah. And yet here we are taking a parking spot away

00:34:56.200 from someone who might actually need it. Yeah. Like literally those parking spots are for disabled

00:35:00.660 people. Just get your drive, like get some, you pay someone to let you out of the car and then

00:35:05.480 to just drive it and park down the street and then they can come and get, pick you up when you're

00:35:08.400 ready to go. That's too logical. Do they want me to do that job? I will do it. I'll do that job for

00:35:14.460 $140,000 a year. That's very good deal. That's so cheap for them. That's super cheap. That's a joke,

00:35:20.540 but we have to do it together. So double that. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. So we're hiring. Call us at

00:35:26.040 misunderstood at rebelnews.com. Send an email. Uh, you heard it checking. Yeah. You heard it here

00:35:31.540 first, ladies. Perfect. Oh, I hope that they figure that out for themselves. I don't think

00:35:37.660 they will. Um, because no, no one holds these people to account. No rich people can do literally

00:35:41.780 whatever they want if they have enough money. Yeah. Speaking of speaking of, uh, as does everyone

00:35:46.320 know their favorite baldy Jeff Bezos? You know, he's so rich and yet he can't afford to like get hair.

00:35:51.200 Yeah. That's so weird. It is weird. So weird. Maybe he likes it. You know, it's a look. I don't

00:35:55.800 mind it. It's a look. Like there's, I'm not judging. No. Some people look fantastic. What we are

00:35:59.700 judging Jeff Bezos for is that Rotterdam may dismantle part of a bridge for Jeff Bezos's super

00:36:06.160 yacht to get through. So there's a bridge and his boat is too big to go under the bridge. So they are

00:36:11.680 considering dismantling the bridge, which, you know, it's like, well, on one hand, who cares? And on the

00:36:18.740 other hand, it's like, what are we doing here? What are we doing? First of all, better need for

00:36:23.740 infrastructure money. Like that's a really good point. And I would just like to point out that

00:36:27.880 I can't even get a plow to clear the snow on my street. Like I skated to work this morning

00:36:33.380 because it's just a grip and it's all just like a huge pile of snow and you get snow in your boots

00:36:38.420 and there's no sidewalk. There's hardly any, some of the streets are even just like half plowed. So

00:36:43.420 it's like one lane and people are like, literally, but Jeff Bezos can just roll up into Rotterdam with

00:36:49.600 his giant yacht. Get a smaller yacht. Yeah. A little yacht that's slightly smaller. Or, you know,

00:36:54.740 just take a different route. I don't get why, like, I don't understand why. Or like park your yacht and

00:36:58.940 then like have your, your other yacht. Yeah. On the other side. Exactly. Like I'm sure your good

00:37:04.080 friend, Leonardo DiCaprio, I don't know if they're friends, but he has a yacht. Just borrow his. It's

00:37:07.580 smaller. Probably. Listen, I can do that job too. Included in the 40,000, 140,000 a year. I will

00:37:13.580 also coordinate your yacht, Jeff Bezos. Email us. I will be waiting. So it's misunderstood at

00:37:18.960 rebelnews.com. So please, please, please send us an email. Yeah. We're waiting. Yeah. And I guess

00:37:25.900 the city hasn't confirmed this is taking place, but even the fact that they're humoring this guy,

00:37:29.220 I know he's a powerful man. I know he's really rich and I guess money talks, but really like sometimes

00:37:33.780 we should just say no to these people. No, you can't park in the disabled spot. No,

00:37:37.500 you can't drive your $500 million lot through a bridge. Yeah. No, let's just not. I mean,

00:37:42.560 I guess as like freedom lovers, we're supposed to be like, I don't care about that. It just seems

00:37:48.280 silly. It just seems so, so silly. The handicap thing is like not really about freedom. It's like

00:37:52.420 these people can't walk. Yeah. So we need to let them have the spots closest to the door. That has

00:37:57.380 nothing to do with freedom. That's just common sense. This one is like, okay, if I'm going to be like,

00:38:02.720 I'm not even a libertarian, but if I was to take that, it'd be like, okay, freedom. Like he has

00:38:07.240 the money. Let him do it. Who's it hurting? Well, it's like, well, probably people need to cross that

00:38:10.760 bridge. Yeah. Like probably like, oh, the bridge is closed. I can't get to work today because the

00:38:15.420 rich guy from America needs to get his yacht through here. And like, is the yacht going to be

00:38:20.540 too big for like the bay, the canals, man, it's a $500 million dollar lot. It should be able to just

00:38:26.000 fly over. It should fly. Like Peter Pan it, you know, you don't even have a flying yacht,

00:38:31.440 Jeff Bezos. Are you poor? We already ordered ours. I mean, maybe this is just another way to get in

00:38:37.200 the news because he's not as rich as Elon Musk and Elon Musk is always like firing off on Twitter

00:38:41.260 and always trending. So maybe this is just his ways. Like I don't have a lot of funny tweets,

00:38:46.160 but I can get a bridge dismantled and I can have media write about it. So what I'm getting from this,

00:38:51.800 this episode today is that celebrities are really desperate for attention. Like y'all,

00:38:55.240 are you guys okay? Like do you need to talk about this? Like we got, we got Kim, we got Kanye,

00:39:01.440 we got Kendall Jenner and the other one. Oh yeah. Haley. We got Jeff. Like you guys,

00:39:06.460 like do you need some more attention? Yeah. Just become a conservative. Then you'll be in the news.

00:39:10.700 Oh my God. Yeah. Just go down to the truckers rally. Yeah. Like be all over the place.

00:39:14.720 And I think it's because the trucks are taking up so much of everyone's mental energy. There,

00:39:19.000 there's celebrities like guys, us, Hong Kong, we're over here. Hong Kong. We were looking for like

00:39:24.000 celebrity gossip the other week or the other day for this episode. It's been uninteresting.

00:39:28.600 And we're like, this is boring. You guys aren't doing anything. Get out there, mix it up.

00:39:32.560 So celebrities are clearly struggling. So that we can criticize you. Yeah. We need it. We

00:39:36.100 need the content. Gosh. Um, great. Speaking of content, nobody cares about the Olympics. What?

00:39:45.440 I didn't know that they were going on. Oh my God. Are they actually are they? I'm still convinced

00:39:51.120 they are. I'm pretty sure. The only reason that I'm pretty sure that they are is because I saw

00:39:55.540 James Lindsay tweet about it. Okay. And he, he's a reliable source. Yes. Here's his tweet. In my

00:40:01.060 opinion, the Olympics aren't occurring. Won't say anything more about it because they don't exist.

00:40:04.500 So, I mean, I guess if I was just to base my opinions off this tweet, it was fun. I would say

00:40:09.140 that there's no Olympics. I don't think there are. There's no Olympics. However, um, in my travels on,

00:40:14.980 on the Twitter, I find it's basically 99% truck content. And then you'll get like a promoted

00:40:20.720 tweet from like Visa. That's like the Olympics. Here's Canada's like snowboard team. And you're

00:40:25.700 like, huh? Didn't even know we had a snowboard team. Give us the trucks. Yeah. Let's just

00:40:30.700 see. Give us the trucks and give them medals. But I mean, it's pretty controversial that they

00:40:35.680 let the Olympics take place in a, in a country or that is still in lockdown. Reminds me of 1939.

00:40:41.640 Yeah. But like people, people will often reference that like, Oh, it's so weird how

00:40:48.720 they, those creepy Olympics that they had in 1939 in Germany, like at the beginning of

00:40:53.100 the war. And it's like, again, like we were saying, when you don't study your history,

00:40:57.320 you're doomed to repeat it. We're doing that right now. The Olympics are being held in a

00:41:00.840 country that's currently committing genocide. Yeah. And it's still in lockdown. Yeah. Like

00:41:06.020 their citizens are locked down. Yeah. Like there's a lot of bad things happening.

00:41:09.380 Bad stuff going on. Not to mention North Korea. No. Yeah. Not even, let's just throw that in

00:41:13.840 there too. But it's so like, I love the Olympics. Me too. There are my, it's, I, I'm like one of

00:41:19.680 those fan people that has it on all the whole time. I even watched the ones in the summer

00:41:23.120 because I was so bored. Yeah. It's a great way to unite people in such a divisive time. And

00:41:27.500 winter Olympics, Canadians slay. Exactly. Literally and physically and figuratively and literally

00:41:33.020 slay. Amen. Amen. Oh, I thought you were giving me a high five. Yeah. Awkward. But I can't watch them

00:41:40.320 this year because of the genocide. Yeah. Like, and it's what, oh, you know, poor me missing out on

00:41:46.780 hockey. But it's like, I'm not going to support a country that's committing a genocide. And it's

00:41:52.020 super weird that like the Royal Bank of Canada is their, one of their main sponsors. And we're just

00:41:57.140 like, oh yeah, that's cool. It's not cool. No. It's not cool, guys. Like Rebel News can't even get a

00:42:01.640 mortgage from RBC. Yeah. And yet they're sponsoring, as you said, literal genocide.

00:42:05.900 Like you're sponsoring genocide. A bit of a weird double standard there. And actually

00:42:09.660 it makes you guys look kind of crappy. It looks kind of crappy. Everyone's like, oh, the virus,

00:42:13.760 it's killing everyone. They're literally killing people. Multiple people that happen to be

00:42:17.740 Muslims. No one cares. No one cares about Islamophobia anymore. No one's genocide. Who cares?

00:42:23.280 Because it's fun and it's the Olympics and like the Lululemon outfits. Okay. The Lululemon,

00:42:27.280 they look like lobsters. They're awful. Like they're awful. They're terrible. I like Lululemon.

00:42:31.420 Yeah, for sure. Awesome. Come on, you guys. We could have done way better. Just give us like a

00:42:35.520 cute coat. Yeah. Doesn't that, why does it have all these like flaps on it? They literally look

00:42:40.100 like they have like, like lobsters. Yeah, yeah. Like I want to eat it. It looks, it almost looks

00:42:44.360 appetizing. Give me some butter. Yeah. It's very strange. So let's not do genocide. Let's not

00:42:49.780 support the Olympics. No, I'm just kidding. You can do what you want. What do you want? I'm not

00:42:52.800 going to support them because I don't like genocide. Also, they aren't happening. Yeah, they're not

00:42:57.160 happening. So what Olympics? What Olympics? I don't care how many sponsored tweets I get.

00:43:01.320 Not happening. Don't care. I'll watch them again in four years when everything's

00:43:05.440 better. You know what? I like your optimism, but also I am curious to see how their viewership

00:43:09.240 is doing so far. Like I wonder, we'll have to, we'll have to address this. Yeah. When

00:43:13.200 it's done, because I wonder if it's lower than, than usual. I think the summer was lower

00:43:18.200 too. Hi. We'll find out. That'll be fun. I guess people don't like elitist BS and

00:43:24.460 genocide and murder. Yeah. And like, and communism. And communism. Yeah. Teenagers do, but they

00:43:30.600 don't know what the heck's going on. Yeah. They're just reading Hunger Games. I'm Katniss,

00:43:35.620 except put your mask on. Get vaccinated. Just do it. Just do it. That's it. Maybe we should

00:43:43.620 end on a lighter note. Oh my gosh. That would be a good idea. Let's just, you know, it's,

00:43:47.380 we've, we've jumped around a lot. If you're still listening, we love you. Oh my gosh. Thanks,

00:43:51.180 you guy. Yeah. You guy. You guy. Maybe we should talk about some fun beauty trends that are making

00:43:56.980 a comeback this year. This isn't, I haven't read this yet. So. No, I read, I skimmed it. Okay. I'm

00:44:02.220 really good at skimming. Oh, so cool. Um, let's take a look. Let's take a plan it up there. Okay. Here we

00:44:08.240 go. So let's see. Trend number one is, what is this? What is it? Oh, freaking Evie. They have

00:44:17.740 skinny eyebrows. No, no, no, no, no, no. Do we have a photo example? Oh my. She has a fake face.

00:44:24.700 Well, she bought that face. She bought those eyebrows. But you know, okay. She actually looks

00:44:27.940 really beautiful with the skinny eyebrows though. She does. And why can't we just normalize

00:44:31.140 all eyebrows? All eyebrows. Yeah. Like everyone is born with different eyebrows. I, that's why I'm

00:44:35.660 kind of okay that this is coming back. Yeah. It's not like you have beautiful fluffy brows,

00:44:39.300 but I'm, I'm cut from a different cloth. This took years. This took years of curating. And $200,000.

00:44:43.800 Yeah. $200,000 worth of hair implants on my face right now. Well, you know what? You should,

00:44:48.500 you should send your guy to Jeff Bezos. Yeah. He could use some help. Yeah. There. Okay. So

00:44:52.820 this one's not the worst. It's not so bad. You know, I think you should wear eyebrows that

00:44:55.480 frame your face nicely. I agree. And not worry about the trends. Eyebrows. All right. What's next?

00:44:59.340 Moving on. What else do we have? Neon eyeshadow. Okay. I mean, I don't think that that was ever a no-no.

00:45:07.340 Can we like, is that safe for work though? Should we come to work tomorrow sporting some neon? Sure.

00:45:11.780 That's some serious neon that this girl has on. That looks gorgeous. Yeah. She looks super hot.

00:45:16.540 It's just like, you're not going to go to work like that. I don't think. And you never were. I don't

00:45:19.380 think the average person is going to be applying that look. No. And it's not like we can go out

00:45:24.820 to a bar to show it off. Oh yeah. I guess some people can. It does look a little clowny, but also

00:45:29.780 it's cool. It's very fashion. And I will say this. I've definitely seen similar looks in the past five

00:45:34.000 years. Yeah. This is not that new. Like, ooh, bold eyeshadow. Wow. Yeah. Groundbreaking stuff,

00:45:40.060 you guys. It's a good point. With like colored eyeliner. Like that's. Ooh, colored eyeliner is

00:45:43.680 cool. I love colored eyeliner. Yeah. But that's been, I have a neon like bright blue, like the

00:45:47.400 color of her eyeshadow. I have that in an eyeliner. So it's not new. Yeah. It's not a new look.

00:45:52.620 Anyways, we'll do it. Maybe. Because we're sheep. I almost sort of wonder if some of these industries

00:45:57.580 that are selling these products are just not doing as well. Yeah. So they're like, this is trendy now.

00:46:00.940 Oh yeah. They're a hundred percent. Like juicy lip gloss. What does that even mean?

00:46:04.120 Like, isn't all lip gloss kind of juicy or is it like the color or is it like the shine?

00:46:08.980 Is it like juicy tubes? Did you ever have juicy tubes? Yeah. Maybe it's just the, no,

00:46:12.480 I think this is rare beauty. So this is Selena Gomez's lip. Again, like lip gloss never went

00:46:17.720 out of style. No, but it is, it is becoming more of like a thing. I feel like lipstick was a little

00:46:22.520 trendier. It was. You're right. You're right. Like, like a matte color. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean,

00:46:27.100 this is kind of nice. I mean, Selena Gomez looks great. Look at her skin. Her lips do look juicy.

00:46:31.800 I'm not going to lie. I want to bite them. Yeah. Um, again, I've been wearing lip gloss

00:46:37.260 for 10 years. So maybe I'm super out of style. Maybe you're a trendsetter. Oh my gosh. That's it.

00:46:42.360 I think that's what it is. I like that much better. Okay. Contouring. I thought contouring

00:46:45.520 was still in. I'm, I hate contouring, but it was, it never went out. Right. Uh, yeah. Uh,

00:46:51.340 Kim Kardashian a couple of years ago started the no touring, non touring. And it was like not

00:46:57.960 contouring. I definitely missed basic faces, regular faces. Um, but contouring stinks. Don't

00:47:06.380 do it. You look like a clown unless you have a professional makeup artist who's like using studio

00:47:11.340 lighting and they can see you're going to walk around with brown streaks on your face. That's

00:47:14.900 true. You're going to look like, like what? Not you. This is news to me. Okay. So contouring's back

00:47:20.160 apparently though. So, you know, I just walk around with streaks on your face. Yeah. And those little

00:47:23.760 tiny disco ball noses that people, where they have like the, the line, the line. Woo. We

00:47:28.720 should do our makeup. Those can get out of hand. We should do each other's makeup. We should do

00:47:32.540 each other's makeup. All trends. Okay. Blush straight. Okay. I watched a video on this

00:47:35.960 cause I was like, what? It's just basically too much blush. Oh, that's kind of fun. And you wear it

00:47:39.680 on your ears and your neck. Does it look good? Did you look like you were like, just come out

00:47:44.720 from a winter's day or something? I didn't try it on myself. I just watched this dude do it. She looks good.

00:47:49.660 Yeah. She looks really good. The thing about blush is like blush is great. I love blush. Me too. You can't,

00:47:53.600 you can't really, you can't like, you can have too much blush, but you can't. Yeah. Cause if you

00:47:57.980 have too much blush, if you blend what you have, you're good. Yeah. You can just blend. And so I

00:48:02.800 like to bring my blush all the way to my eyes. Like I do it all around my eyes and all my cheeks

00:48:07.180 and my nose. And this is just taking it further and going down your neck. And I'm like, well,

00:48:10.680 my hair's covering that. So I don't need, I'm not going to do that. Well, this is something to look

00:48:13.740 forward to. So if you, if you screw up your blush, you won't look like an idiot. Yeah. Just blend it and add more.

00:48:19.200 Perfect. You're good. What else? Matte makeup. Okay. What? When did this go out of style? I

00:48:26.220 thought this was always in. I think, I guess not highlighting. Does it mean like having dewy

00:48:29.920 skins not in? Cause I'm, I'm clear. I'm not going to be in cause this I'm all do. I guess it's just

00:48:35.660 like use more powder, less highlighter. Okay. So look chalky. Yes. Look very chalky. Okay. Well,

00:48:41.160 Adele looks very beautiful. And yeah, she's not looking chalky. No, she doesn't look chalky. She's

00:48:44.880 clearly just woken up from a nap. Yeah. So the no makeup look is really working. Yeah,

00:48:49.360 really. Um, just be naturally beautiful and also have a bunch of facial surgery. My favorite is

00:48:53.920 like on TV, you know, when they, they like someone wakes up and they have a full face of makeup. Oh

00:48:58.500 my God. That's my favorite. Like literal, like glossy lips and like sparkly eyeshadow. Oh man.

00:49:03.740 And their eyeliner is not smudge. Yeah. Okay. Chunky highlighter highlights. I think this is a good

00:49:07.960 one. This is perfect for me because I already have those because that's just how my hair is. No,

00:49:12.280 I think it looks good. I like it. I'm glad this is coming back. The thing is, is chunk this again,

00:49:16.960 when you say chunky highlights, I'm thinking like 1999 where we all had like a bright yellow chunk here

00:49:23.000 and then all brown hair. Oh my God. That's not what we're talking about. I remember in the sixth

00:49:26.680 grade, I had literally six pink highlights. Oh my God. Like one, two, three on the side. Like

00:49:31.960 those are chunky. Those are not coming back in, but JLo looks great. She looks amazing. That's a nice

00:49:38.200 blend. Like chunky. Is that chunky or is that exactly what we've been seeing for the last five years? Yeah. I don't

00:49:41.980 know. It's hard to like, is my hair chunky? Cause it looks like that. Although hers looks a lot

00:49:45.560 better, but like yours looks great. Mine does look great, but it looks beautiful. She looks like

00:49:49.780 she's been completely doused in. She's also really rich. So much filtering. Yeah. Like she looks 12.

00:49:55.600 She does like 12. Ma'am, you're in your fifties. She makes us as 16 year olds look really old. As 16

00:50:00.720 year olds look really, really old. So hers, I don't. Okay. That's a chunky highlight. That's more chunky.

00:50:04.660 I like the blending of JLo's a little better. It's just balayage. Yeah. Kind of in a way. It's just chunky,

00:50:10.180 but not going all the way to the tip. It's a little less blended. So that's interesting.

00:50:14.020 Yeah. Hair accessories. Oh my God. They've been in style for years. I've been wearing my chunky

00:50:19.000 headbands. You wear headbands like every other day. It's literally my other religion. They just

00:50:22.760 get bigger and bigger. Yeah. I can't walk through some doors. But I'm glad they're not going out

00:50:29.280 because I. Okay. That's great. You know what? I'm excited about this one. Yeah. And like,

00:50:32.740 and like those berets that we all used to wear in like sixth grade. Yeah. They've been around

00:50:36.160 forever. Yes. I saw this little kid at church the other week wearing like giant berets.

00:50:40.080 And I was like, that is so cute. Yeah. And she was stylish. It wasn't even like cute in a

00:50:44.120 kiddie way. I was like, that looks cute. Oh, I love that for her. And then the 90s style

00:50:47.880 boy bob. I feel like that was in kind of in the last year or so anyway. Guys, we've been
