00:01:22.180
twitter lies files the twitter files and the latest news about the company uh we don't have a culture
00:01:29.160
shock moment of the week other than this is our last episode before cat goes on myrtlerv myrtlerv that's
00:01:36.360
matt leave because she's pregnant for those of you who don't know don't know you can't tell
00:01:40.580
she is very pregnant um so send her your e-transfers yeah i still need lots of stuff she needs a prada bag
00:01:49.620
a birkin bag i need a nanny a car anyway all right so we're just gonna hop right into it so
00:01:56.300
there's this new celebrity weight loss drug uh it's called ozempic and a lot of celebrities use it i as i
00:02:03.820
said to lose weight allegedly allegedly people are saying even kim kardashian allegedly used this drug
00:02:11.080
to lose weight in three weeks for the met gala to fit into the famous marilyn monroe dress so she
00:02:16.420
destroyed that she did that she destroyed with her big old bungus god bless her well i think she's had
00:02:22.180
the butt removed since then allegedly allegedly allegedly so i guess it was approved by the fda in
00:02:28.740
the u.s in 2017 uh in its branded name of a semaglutide manufactured by the danish pharmaceutical
00:02:35.580
company novo nordzyk once injected it mimics a hormone produced in the gut called glp1 which
00:02:41.100
regulates insulin and blood sugar levels and is essential for the management of type 2 diabetes
00:02:45.440
uh basically users feel fuller for longer curbing hunger pangs so pangs so wait this is a drug that
00:02:52.900
celebrities are using to lose weight but what's it really for cat diabetes oh okay and isn't there like
00:02:58.660
a shortage apparently there's apparently a shortage of this drug so people with diabetes are having
00:03:04.160
a hard time getting access to a drug they need yeah so that's okay so you know during the vaccine
00:03:11.560
rollout when they're like oh there's a hospital bed shortage because unvaccinated people are taking
00:03:17.060
up hospital beds and then there was also a story that was like uh gunshot victims aren't able to get
00:03:22.920
seen by the emergency room because people are overdosing on ivermectin so i don't know i don't
00:03:30.300
know anyone who who's diabetic who can't get medication personally yeah i mean this is also in
00:03:34.600
the u.s the usa so it's hard to say exactly however so it's like so you know do we know for sure no we
00:03:40.840
don't but but according to novo nordisk's own announcement their sales have increased by 59 percent
00:03:47.040
for diabetes related related medication just in 2022 alone that's significant that's kind of weird
00:03:52.860
even if we don't have actual evidence that diet like diabetes people diabetics can't get their hands
00:04:01.940
on this much-needed uh life-saving medication we don't know that for sure but we do know that by
00:04:06.680
almost 60 percent they i dropped my pen they have increased the sales of this specific or diabetes
00:04:13.620
related medication so it is sus especially because the guardian and variety which are both
00:04:19.180
magazines uh have called ozempic hollywood's worst kept secret and apparently everyone is on it
00:04:24.620
which i had never heard of this before clearly i need to get on it i but the problem is it costs
00:04:29.780
around 800 to 1 000 per month so it's very expensive very elite um and i'm gonna afford that
00:04:35.780
who can afford that other than the rich and famous who by the way it's a little bit frustrating
00:04:39.600
because they have access to personal trainers and dietitians and nutritionists but yet you need
00:04:44.640
to use drugs like the rest of us are just stuck here running 5k outside and below 40 hoping to god
00:04:50.960
i do that every day hoping to god we look good yeah i that's something that's something she still
00:04:55.420
does as a pregnant woman oh yeah um but it's interesting because apparently another use for
00:05:00.200
the drug is uh helping obese people so that it helps curb their appetite which is also kind of like
00:05:06.860
i understand i understand obesity is a huge problem in the usa but it's also like couldn't you just put
00:05:11.540
in the work maybe instead of relying on this drug that people need for diabetes no we have to do
00:05:16.760
everything the easy way yes let's not it's a magic pill yeah well it's actually an injection that you
00:05:22.160
take like once a week that costs almost a thousand dollars a month yeah um probably not great for you
00:05:27.860
if you're not obese or have diabetes i would think not a doctor yeah i would think doesn't look great
00:05:33.020
doesn't look great um but yeah apparently there's a tiktok hashtag um that has over 320 million views
00:05:39.860
and counting and some people are like bragging about their like weight loss journey and hashtagging
00:05:45.720
ozempic cute yeah so i don't know i will be doing that soon yeah it's it's just like
00:05:53.300
yeah you know yeah and kim kardashian has never spoken about it or admitted that she's on this drug and
00:05:59.800
we don't know for sure but it's like she lost like 16 pounds and in three weeks three weeks but
00:06:04.620
she's also kept it off this whole time which is like usually if you yin yang like that
00:06:08.680
what sorry yo-yo you gain it back eventually you go back to your regular she was kind of the same
00:06:14.860
way for many many years and then all of a sudden she's like lost so much weight and i find this to
00:06:21.020
be very problematic because she alleges that she did it the right way she put in the work
00:06:27.600
bitch um which is fine if she actually did like that's fine it's her choice she should be allowed
00:06:32.160
to do that but i think if but if you're lying about using this secret magical weight loss drug
00:06:37.740
that's pretty dangerous because i mean she never lies about injections that she gets no but it's just
00:06:43.440
she's just setting a very very bad example yet again yet again yet again are we surprised no but
00:06:49.800
it could it is dangerous though you know but it's also like it's it like you said it's so expensive
00:06:55.500
that only the richest people can afford it so the rest of us out here and it's not even us because
00:06:59.840
we're comfortable in our bodies but like what about young people who have trouble losing weight
00:07:04.300
and then they're like oh but she can do it and then they think they need to literally starve
00:07:07.980
themselves to death when it's like kim kardashian is not starving she's curbing her appetite with drugs
00:07:12.320
yeah whatever it's the worst she's the worst continuing to be the worst yeah there's another fun
00:07:18.000
trend yeah so there's this new guy speaking of body positivity right there's a new trend that you
00:07:23.560
need to you change your bodies up yeah you get it slice and dice and you need to change your face
00:07:28.440
completely i don't know how to say this word i think it's buccal b-u-c-c-a-l anyway
00:07:35.820
b-u-c-c-a-l fat removal yeah thing and it's what's the latest trend yeah so basically it's like you have
00:07:42.060
fat pads in your cheeks and they go in and they suck them out and then you look like this
00:07:46.520
so some people that have allegedly undergone this uh interesting uh plastic surgery is bel hadid
00:07:55.240
uh we have leah michelle we have dove cameron we have uh joe jonas's wife sophie turner
00:08:03.200
um oh and then the one lisa rina's daughter amelia is it amelia hamlin yeah and let me tell you guys
00:08:09.900
we'll hopefully we can post up some images of this they look like first of all like men they look like
00:08:15.000
dudes and then second of all they look old as hell they look old they look old as hell and it's
00:08:19.480
weird why are we setting trends that kind of strip women of their femininity because couldn't you argue
00:08:26.160
that heroin chic sort of does that as well because you're you're you're basically losing anything that
00:08:30.960
jiggles yeah exactly so you're looking like a man and then we have all the baggy clothes trends and
00:08:35.260
the oversized blazers and stuff which i don't i like that but yeah and then we have this new fat removal
00:08:39.480
thing that basically makes everything about a woman and it makes you look less feminine yeah
00:08:44.000
it's very strange it makes your jaw like more square yeah and the problem with it is that it's
00:08:49.160
actually uh you're not supposed to do it in your 20s because you lose fat in your face over time you
00:08:54.920
want to have plump cheeks because as you get older that's a sign of youth exactly i don't understand
00:09:00.160
why anyone would want to lose like put on a little bronzer yeah you know it's funny because i've
00:09:06.000
always i'm i have like a rounder face and i she's so cute i'm like a baby she's like a baby but i now
00:09:11.900
i'm like cool this is great i'm gonna be young forever it's true when i was in high school i had
00:09:17.160
such a fatter face and as i aged i did i had a huge freaking head fat face we'll post a fat face
00:09:24.980
and as i've gotten older i've lost a lot of the fat in my face now um i did put on a little weight
00:09:32.580
during pregnancy so some of it's back but the point is is like it it does your face changes
00:09:37.800
like that said when you're 20 you have so much more fat in your face and it's like that's youthful
00:09:41.940
and then as you age it deteriorates yeah so you can bet you can bet that these girls are going to be
00:09:48.020
re-injecting fat into their into their face yeah and of course they have the money to be able to do
00:09:52.780
that when this trend eventually goes out of style but a lot of like fat faces back ladies right your fat
00:09:57.600
injections exactly and it's a lot of classic surgeons are saying that they wouldn't do this
00:10:03.120
uh procedure on someone who's under 25 because hello your face is not fully really you haven't
00:10:09.960
grown into your face yet like we've said this before i my face has changed so much since my
00:10:14.360
early 20s and now i'm like perfect and beautiful like a 12 out of 10 at least 15 i'm just kidding
00:10:21.000
but it's like you you want to wait and see what happens into your adulthood and then if you're
00:10:25.360
like super unhappy whatever yeah but come on like wait yeah just grow into yourself yeah and there's
00:10:31.840
also the risk that they'll take out too much fat and then you just look gaunt af and then they
00:10:35.960
already do yeah it's it's not pretty makes you look like a man yes so please don't get this
00:10:41.420
and don't want your daughters because it's just not cute no just stick to the nose job speaking of cute
00:10:46.600
yeah trans student charged after reportedly assaulting two female students in a school washroom
00:10:51.340
cute so cute we we were told that was just a straw man argument that wasn't gonna happen no it
00:10:57.360
doesn't happen it's hypothetical it's completely hypothetical and it's transphobic to even talk
00:11:00.940
about it don't yeah well unfortunately you and i are a couple a couple of transphobes yeah
00:11:06.240
unfortunately unfortunately yeah i'm so scared so irrationally scared of two men uh sorry wearing
00:11:12.900
wigs yeah two men a man beating up two women in a washroom so two female students have been left
00:11:18.180
with injuries after reportedly being assaulted by a trans identified male student in the women's
00:11:23.060
restroom at a high school in edmond oklahoma yeah so great yeah this is great another win for women
00:11:30.220
apparently the trans identified student hit this person in the face and in and uh she was unable to
00:11:37.280
fight back because she's a girl yeah so yeah she said uh not a fair fight she was not able uh she
00:11:43.460
wasn't strong enough to fight back due to the force of the blow right because it was a big strong man
00:11:47.900
man who threw her to the ground yeah that's really great and there are witnesses who can uh confirm
00:11:54.780
this girl's story and it's interesting because in the police report the trans person's parents arrived
00:12:00.460
to pick the kid up and the parent attempted to blame the victim for the assault claiming that the
00:12:05.560
girl has made fun of this person for being transgender i mean we cannot confirm or deny that
00:12:09.620
that's not nice obviously but regardless don't beat people up if they're mean to you we were all
00:12:15.200
bullied when we were words are not violence violence is violence yeah exactly although yeah like nat said
00:12:20.320
we don't um encourage people to bully anyone like if if you're uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with a
00:12:27.780
trans person that's one thing yeah you can take it up with maybe a teacher you can ask for another
00:12:33.420
bathroom go to another bathroom like there are ways you can make yourself feel safe but like bullying
00:12:37.940
someone they're going through something yeah that teenager who's dressing like a woman who's clearly
00:12:43.200
a man is going through something leave him be and then obviously if he assaults you then you punch
00:12:51.860
him back yeah no well you can't because yourself yeah but um call the police like but that's the thing
00:12:57.620
like bullying is wrong but violence is violence not words so it's so true yeah anyway so that's very
00:13:03.620
scary and uh yet another reason to take your kids out of public school okay i just wanted to mention
00:13:08.620
because while i was on this uh it's on redux which we love um there was another it was like a little
00:13:14.640
article on the side and it was uh related brazilian brazil's top female gamer is a trans identified
00:13:21.040
male now accused of sexting with a minor there's a lot to unpack so women can be professional gamers
00:13:27.620
guys as long as they're men okay and pedos allegedly so that's really that's really set in the bar yeah
00:13:35.160
that's a weird that's weird it's a weird standard to set for the best female gamer yeah i don't love
00:13:40.280
that no um it's like yeah we we were talking we're like oh we have a newfound respect for leah thomas
00:13:45.620
now because at least she's not a pedophile allegedly yeah that we know of allegedly yeah cool uh just one
00:13:52.480
thing real quick too uh cambridge dictionary has redefined woman and man so i just i'd like to read
00:13:57.680
those yes because i would i want to know you're non-binary how you feel with these definitions okay
00:14:02.120
i'm already offended okay well just try not to just chill out okay well that's calm down no wow
00:14:09.100
don't tell a pregnant woman to calm down okay so a woman is now an adult who lives and identifies as
00:14:14.680
female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth by by just some rando like
00:14:21.240
doctors yeah just some only because of like their you know genitals exactly there's just some there's
00:14:28.220
no biology no no okay and of course of course a man is an adult who lives and identifies as male
00:14:35.460
though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth we've talked about this before but
00:14:40.720
it's only a matter of time until that now includes children because i noticed that it says
00:14:44.760
yeah um the slippery adult yeah who identifies but it's like well what about like an adult my 13 year
00:14:51.820
old gender neutral non-binary what's it is really old for her age is its age and like doesn't want to
00:15:00.340
be identified as a child and also yeah like how convenient because now like pedos and you know the
00:15:07.140
lines are so blurred and you watch i bet you within this year we're going to start seeing the
00:15:12.580
normalization of like age gen like trans age i mean not so yeah so directly but no but we'll see it
00:15:20.680
it'll be more explicit i think and you'll be a bigot if you criticize it well you already are like
00:15:25.380
yeah the whole um drag queen story hour thing like there are arguments that like there are family
00:15:33.060
friendly ways of drag queens interacting with children but drag is in itself a very sexual art form
00:15:38.620
and like it's you put on fake boobs you loads of makeup loads of makeup you wear bloody clothes
00:15:45.480
exactly yeah like there are ways for a man for sure like have you ever seen those posters on the
00:15:51.000
subway of like um they're like toronto like chris i don't know it'd be like snow white and the seven
00:15:56.220
dwarves like play it's like really like yeah and there's like a man playing the evil witch like yeah
00:16:00.780
like they'll be like well why is that okay well because their their butt's not out yeah like it's
00:16:06.220
different there are there is a way for a man to dress up and entertain children as a woman that's
00:16:10.780
not sexual for sure but a lot of these things are sexual they they let the lines get blurred they
00:16:16.340
start we've seen the videos where there's children and they're like twerking and they're squeezing
00:16:20.460
their fake boobs together and they're getting dollar bills put in their g-strings and it's like by
00:16:23.860
toddlers it's obviously sexual yeah like we're not saying that a gay man or a trans man can't
00:16:28.680
entertain children it's like when it becomes sexual that's when it's no good anymore and we're so we're
00:16:33.040
already seeing this like but if like these blurred lines and then if you criticize it you're already
00:16:37.160
transphobe and it's like no we're why is protecting children bad because children are nothing in our
00:16:46.120
society it's crazy it's like we're going back to like pre-christianity yeah when women and children
00:16:51.720
had no respect and we're like when they like toss babies off a cliff yeah they had like a a hair lip or
00:16:56.700
whatever but it's funny because like christianity empowers women like and and yet christianity is
00:17:03.960
really bigoted and and it's just so interesting that we're seeing this because now our culture has
00:17:09.720
completely normalized the um erasure of women and the exploitation of children yeah i just heard
00:17:17.340
just today i didn't write it down but um jk rowling is under fire again because she donated a bunch of
00:17:24.460
money to a women's shelter that's only that only like a battered women's shelter that only services
00:17:29.420
biological women right people are calling her transphobe and it's like biological women need a
00:17:33.860
safe space well especially from men predators for men like if they're victims of assault or violence
00:17:38.420
of any kind they don't want to be walking in there it doesn't matter how that dude feels there's places
00:17:42.100
for those people to go right like what if they're a victim of rape they don't want to see a penis
00:17:45.860
walking around i don't understand why like that person has to go everywhere like i'm not allowed
00:17:51.140
everywhere no i'm not allowed to just walk into like the the the argentina like national soccer
00:17:58.980
team change room that would be nice that would be nice but like a mile i'm not allowed in there
00:18:03.260
there's places that some people are just not allowed in well technically you are because you're
00:18:07.040
non-binary right but even still it's like i don't i don't work for the team like i'm not a coach like
00:18:12.480
there are there are certain you're very pretty though i think thank you i think they'd be like yeah
00:18:17.040
you can stay okay that's fine you're destroying my point nat sorry but also complimenting me so i
00:18:22.920
don't know how to feel i don't know how to feel about it but the point is it's like there's places
00:18:26.100
that not everyone can go and so if you're a transgender like male to female person and you
00:18:32.520
have been assaulted or battered like that's sad you should have a place to go it doesn't necessarily
00:18:37.160
need to be yeah the same place that these women are going there can be places for people all these
00:18:42.160
people who are huffing and puffing about this start a place for trans women or men to go to
00:18:47.280
then like start your own thing great donate money to a to a shelter that allows both all right or
00:18:54.220
start your own exactly like but like they're like why does everything have to be for everyone it does
00:18:58.860
it's not because they're authoritarian like they are dictators they want us to just bend a knee to
00:19:05.400
whatever they want yeah we won't i'm so busy because i won't be able to get back up yeah she's
00:19:10.780
she's busy yeah having a baby all right we got another one for you here uh we're gonna move on
00:19:16.600
to a little bit of grooming joe yeah yeah so scarlett johansson claims she was groomed for bombshell
00:19:22.700
roles early on yes yes and it's we've talked about this a little bit before but i didn't know when she
00:19:28.580
was in lost in translation with bill murray she was 17 that's a minor yeah i never saw the movie but
00:19:34.180
were they like a couple they have like a very intimate relationship i kept like i tried to look
00:19:39.880
into it and it was like intimacy yeah like because he's technically married i think anyway they meet
00:19:44.900
in i think asia somewhere i don't know anyway i watched the movie years ago i didn't really like
00:19:49.640
it um but now now in retrospect i'm like that's really disturbing yeah actually yeah um she looked
00:19:56.700
so mature yeah that's what she's talking about because she was sexy at a young age she was put in
00:20:03.060
those roles and it's like right but let's not sexualize kids like poor kid yeah it's so weird
00:20:08.120
and and um obviously this has affected her i think as an actor too because she was obviously put into
00:20:15.740
this box that she couldn't get out of because she was just so curvy and pretty and it's interesting
00:20:20.740
because men don't really get put in those same boxes i feel like unless they're like really ugly
00:20:24.660
i think i've heard unless they're like mclovin well i think i've heard i remember reading um about
00:20:30.140
johnny depp when he was really young and because he was put in some heartthrob uh roles early on and
00:20:36.800
he hated that so he made a point to be weird and that's why he always chose weird yes but he also
00:20:42.160
had the power cry baby i think i think that was one of them and that was he was on that show
00:20:46.420
anyways oh yes okay um and he he made a point to avoid the heartthrob thing even though he didn't
00:20:54.380
really do that because at least i still loved him but he he tried to get away from that and have
00:20:59.020
like take on weird roles so i don't know if it's because he had more power than scarlet like we've
00:21:05.860
both been in the acting world and we both know that if you are not willing to do something sexual
00:21:11.180
or get naked or do you won't get the role they're like they're like oh that's fine because a million
00:21:15.560
other girls will do it yeah even in like we're not even in la this is toronto like yeah but it was
00:21:21.100
like oh for free by the way they asked you to take your clothes off for free for free you'll get
00:21:25.380
an imdb credit you're like i don't want that for the experience yeah i'm good yeah um yeah it is
00:21:31.860
interesting i'm glad that she's calling it out though and saying the word grooming i think that's
00:21:36.580
important because it does exist she's obviously a transphobe she's obviously she yeah hates pedophiles
00:21:42.600
yes which is a good thing okay yeah moving on speaking of pedophiles um so what oh
00:21:50.920
oh i skipped that article i forgot you tell me just twitter okay so speaking of pedophiles so
00:21:59.340
you may recall our episode called the balenciaga saga where we went through the balenciaga gate which
00:22:04.920
was when they had the bdsm teddy bears with children posing holding them and a lot of other stuff go back
00:22:10.020
and watch the episode you heard it you heard it probably but so the company that owns balenciaga
00:22:15.380
is called carings and they also own gucci um so you'd think they'd know better but they don't
00:22:21.540
because harry styles collaborated with the brand they designed like a capsule um it was by him and
00:22:27.380
alessandro michelle i don't know what it is it's called gucci ha ha ha not your best writing harry um
00:22:33.940
but anyway so the uh the ad campaign was released recently and it's harry styles with a teddy bear on
00:22:41.380
his t-shirt um which is fine i guess although we did we did mention that the teddy bear is actually
00:22:48.420
a symbol that pedophiles use to recognize each other so not sure if hey there yeah not sure if
00:22:54.120
that was in his intention at all but let's just avoid it as a let's avoid it as an yeah no teddy
00:22:58.880
bears allowed but he is also seen holding a mattress he's not holding it yeah he's holding a mattress
00:23:04.940
the photo i saw was like behind so there's one there's a couple of different photos but he's
00:23:08.120
holding the mattress and it's a toddler's mattress it's a very tiny mattress and it's a little
00:23:13.660
disturbing yeah what do we think about this yeah uh well also the clothes are freaking hideous yes
00:23:18.740
the pants yes they're not yeah we can do the outfit we'll find a picture but um yeah but for
00:23:24.220
those listening he's wearing a pair of oversized khakis super oversized yeah clownish like charlie
00:23:29.400
chaplin style exactly with a white t-shirt that has an angry pink teddy bear on it and a green plaid
00:23:34.140
flannel coat and then like little loafers yeah it's just a bad look for harry like honestly
00:23:39.040
he looks better in a dress yeah and i don't say that lightly but yeah the the whole um mattress
00:23:47.180
thing it's like why what did we learn that we didn't learn and we learned nothing and why are
00:23:54.120
there the article points this out they're like why are there so many nods to young children
00:23:58.540
in these fashion campaigns including their beds or their stuffed animals like it's just very
00:24:04.300
intimate things too yeah it's very explicit not like a tricycle no exactly it's like this is where
00:24:09.440
they sleep yeah it's just it's alarming it's creepy it's really creepy and especially like you said just
00:24:16.280
after the balenciaga thing yeah and it's owned by the same company gucci and balenciaga so they they
00:24:21.360
know better this is obviously not a coincidence no this is not a coincidence literally if they already did
00:24:25.640
the shoot like you could easily figure out a way to photoshop something in or just cut the ones where
00:24:31.540
he's holding the mattress like some of them the mattress is in the background like you can easily
00:24:35.980
replace the background yeah if you think the pants look good and you can't retake the pictures such an
00:24:39.720
interesting shoot it's really not i it's just everything's so minimalist and grungy that's why i find
00:24:44.880
it they're obviously doing this on purpose like they want people to either they want to do this because
00:24:50.380
allegedly no publicity is bad publicity although you could argue that being called a pedophile is pretty bad
00:24:55.240
publicity you could argue that yes i will not buy gucci this year no me either and i'm i throw all my
00:25:01.880
balenciaga actually so yeah we're the real heroes but anyway it's creepy it's gross and i think sorry
00:25:08.440
no i was just gonna say you'd think harry would kind of maybe say hey this is kind of a tiny little
00:25:13.400
mattress it's a little weird it's just weird yeah no it's super weird and um we mentioned this in the
00:25:19.180
balenciaga episode but in a set everything is put there on purpose like it's by design it's like if
00:25:27.040
my coffee cup is right in the middle of this shot you're like oh is that meant to be there yes it's
00:25:33.220
not just like oh whoops there's a toddler mattress in the shot like ah oh no you put it there specifically
00:25:38.960
for so that i can have a sip of coffee yeah coffee break guys sorry about that it's decaf but yes
00:25:44.840
still gets me through don't worry ryan um and then again there's some more disturbing news that's
00:25:50.880
recently come out julia fox posts her disturbing christmas christmas ornament of an erect teddy
00:25:55.760
bear in bondage gear another thing the teddy bear again and is now facing backlash amidst the
00:26:01.120
balenciaga scandal and it's weird so she posted a short video on her instagram to show off this
00:26:07.140
ornament it's gross it has a gag in its mouth anyway and so it's the most wonderful time of the year
00:26:13.620
is played in the background as the camera zoomed in on the ornament and she captioned the clip too
00:26:17.700
soon lol yeah that's flipping weird yeah it is too soon it'll it'll always be too soon like it'll
00:26:26.460
always just be too soon yeah like it's not like oh too soon like the oscar slap yeah it's like oh
00:26:33.420
pedophilia yeah why is it okay well it's okay to her because she thinks men are the problem when it
00:26:40.320
comes to pedophilia not hollywood so only men can be pedophiles according to julia fox yeah that's
00:26:46.340
it like categorically false that's just that's just objectively wrong yeah you're wrong you're wrong
00:26:52.140
and also you're part of the problem now because you're making it like cool and hip and like sexy
00:26:56.700
like it's not sexy and she's approaching it as though it's light-hearted yeah exactly funny about
00:27:01.440
pedophiles like lol remember this from a couple weeks ago remember the exploitation of children and
00:27:06.660
holding bondage teddy bears and then all the pedophilic documents yes uh we do yeah we we're
00:27:12.160
not gonna forget we're not gonna forget it and now you're just like aligning yourself with that and
00:27:16.000
you think it's like cute and quirky she's just like the thing about julia fox is she what is she
00:27:22.420
doing she needs to stay relevant somehow she had to talk about how why she dated kanye and then why she
00:27:27.680
like she had like remember she said that she only dated kanye to get him away from kim like yeah
00:27:33.660
that is such bs yeah she just has to stay relevant and like she has served some interesting looks
00:27:41.080
yes this year i didn't know who she was i did see uh uncut gems have you seen that movie no so good
00:27:47.400
adam sandler's best work oh my god um he's a funny guy she's in that but she's just like a bimbo and
00:27:52.840
it's like cool whatever so that's all i ever knew her from and now she's like uh she does like weird
00:27:58.400
looks walking around you have you seen her eyebrows yeah the the eyebrows aren't good julia
00:28:02.840
they don't look good pedophilia like not saying she's a pedophile like no probably isn't but it's
00:28:08.940
just like why are you lolzing like there's so it's just not funny it's just not funny so many
00:28:14.380
ornaments that are cute but the thing is would would any of those other ornaments get her on
00:28:20.060
misunderstood exactly no it's true she's obviously doing this for attention which is fine i'm okay
00:28:24.980
with you you know posting clickbait attention no right like i'm okay with you posting like your
00:28:30.420
clickbait and stuff but i have a problem when you're using the exploitation of children to get
00:28:36.580
clicks that's kind of weird why don't you just use your like wit or just like pop your tips out or
00:28:41.260
something like a normal person just wear more underwear to the grocery store like right like
00:28:45.540
i don't know date someone else date pete davidson yeah that's a great way to get that's a great
00:28:51.480
thing attention do that okay do that listen to us julia fox and fix your eyebrows that's all it's all
00:28:56.680
from me okay let's move on to twitter okay twitter so twitter twitter has had a crazy year but it's not
00:29:02.720
even been a year it's been like a couple months like may yeah it's been like uh yeah so i we made a
00:29:09.900
little list here of just some because obviously the twitter files have come out and there's like
00:29:14.200
so much to it if you want um there's a the journalist matt taibbi who's on substack he is
00:29:20.240
the one who's exposing all this because he's getting it directly from elon musk so go to substack
00:29:24.240
type in matt taibbi and you'll find detailed stuff we're just going to talk about like a couple of
00:29:30.000
yes hits from twitter over the past couple months weeks whatever um we'll start with some stuff that
00:29:36.900
was in the twitter files um this one is that twitter was in close contact with the fbi
00:29:43.500
nice that's weird that's that's weird it's weird that a private company yeah and like a social
00:29:49.380
network yeah that's weird yeah apparently they exchanged more than 150 emails with the fbi
00:29:55.880
um and there are surprisingly a high number of requests by the fbi for twitter to take action
00:30:01.000
on election misinformation which what is misinformation nobody knows what that is it's
00:30:05.600
just whatever you deem and like election misinformation what you're talking about is politics
00:30:11.040
yeah you're saying so it's a politics you don't like yeah exactly yeah like politics is a very
00:30:16.560
subjective subject yeah and you're just like oh that's election misinformation like are you saying
00:30:22.460
that anyone questioning the results of the election that's misinformation like you can't even question
00:30:27.900
you can't even ask a question no no you're not allowed no no no and they were really weird about
00:30:31.920
it they even were worried about joke tweets from low follower accounts so they were watching like us
00:30:37.400
i mean we have like tens of millions of followers but at the time at the time it was like we were
00:30:42.900
people thought we were bots yeah um people still think we are yeah um heller yeah i am cat bot it's
00:30:49.840
it's interesting it's interesting and it's weird that the fbi would be in such close contact with them
00:30:54.600
and that twitter wouldn't be like hey we're working with the fbi like that makes it even weirder it's
00:31:00.320
weird it's weird it's all weird um and then twitter also actively censored the hunting hunter biden
00:31:05.340
laptop story which obviously we know we know but it didn't come from the government it wasn't a
00:31:11.720
directive from the government which is shocking yeah so this article is talking about how matt taibi
00:31:16.660
said that he didn't find any connection that this came directly from biden's team or the government
00:31:21.980
but actually twitter internal itself which is almost weirder it's very weird yeah but like people just
00:31:27.340
kind of jumped to the conclusion including elon musk apparently allegedly possibly that this was a
00:31:31.660
government um like directive but it seems like it was actually the guy who we're going to talk
00:31:36.640
about a little later um what's his name yoel roth who was the head of safety something or other
00:31:42.260
there's always a head of something yeah yeah a head of trust and safety whatever that means yeah well
00:31:49.420
he wasn't doing a very good job but i don't trust him and i don't feel safe no i don't and neither
00:31:53.320
should children perhaps allegedly allegedly um yeah so uh taibi reported that both the trump campaign
00:32:00.260
and the biden campaign reached out regularly to ask twitter to investigate and remove posts but
00:32:04.640
when it came to the hunter biden laptop story twitter went into overdrive falsely categorizing
00:32:08.780
the story as hacked materials early on then locking prominent accounts that shared it even barring the
00:32:13.980
story from being shared in dms that's crazy like your private personal messages that's that's
00:32:18.800
overboard um completely unsurprising though yeah nothing's private or personal um and twitter had an
00:32:25.280
act like a personal vendetta against the story which now like what is it two years later yeah
00:32:31.720
has been proven true yeah that this was an actual verified laptop that it did contain
00:32:37.620
the the pictures of hunter biden photos and you know genitals and doing hookers and all that
00:32:45.040
coke on genitals all that fun stuff merry christmas it's great um yeah nice so twitter's twitter was a bad
00:32:52.580
place twitter's compromise and well it was and of course uh as we all know they would silence right
00:32:58.540
wing voices through shadow banning and blacklist despite lying about this um repeatedly so they
00:33:04.600
faced obviously accusations in the past but then the platform denied it in 2018 twitter's vijaya gad
00:33:10.640
the head of legal policy and trust and cap cave on bake poor head of products said we do not shadow
00:33:16.880
ban they added and we certainly don't shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology i think
00:33:21.720
there's a word to describe that i think it's called gaslighting yeah i think that's that's just yeah
00:33:27.500
a big it's literally like hey you're you're abusing me they're like we are not abusing you while abusing
00:33:32.700
you yeah like it's like we're not abusing you yeah yeah yeah um that's just and making right-wing
00:33:38.560
people feel crazy yeah for saying oh like how come my post didn't get like obviously it doesn't really
00:33:44.880
happen to us because like you know not for people not then but now but yeah so famous but people who
00:33:51.040
had hundreds of thousands of followers all of a sudden getting like zero interaction or very limited
00:33:56.460
interaction on their tweets it's like hmm and there and there are screenshots of like the like the
00:34:01.480
shadow banning they'd be put on lists saying like do not uh i don't know the words like promote this
00:34:05.940
person's tweet or don't let this to trend on twitter exactly stuff like that yeah really good stuff
00:34:10.500
really good stuff and then there's more to come with the twitter files yeah so since uh elon took
00:34:16.380
over this is how the twitter files are getting released now and then um periodically and we're
00:34:22.100
still waiting on more um elon musk has teased that he has dirt on anthony fauci who's that i don't know
00:34:29.020
some old guy who lies about aids and who does he like work with the world health organization
00:34:35.320
maybe i don't cdc i don't know he shouldn't be he does a lot he does a lot of work with beagles
00:34:41.040
he's been in his position since 1984 that's like 5 000 years yeah that's nobody should be in
00:34:49.560
government for that long no that's called a career politician my friends and nobody voted him in
00:34:55.120
nobody voted him in that sounds fair people who were around in the 80s will remember that anthony
00:35:01.060
fauci also said that you could contract aids through i think it was through the air oh like
00:35:07.260
kids could get aids through their parents that's called misinformation yeah and this is kind of
00:35:13.060
sort of sort of like how things were done with kovat allegedly maybe possibly oh no yeah um so elon
00:35:19.540
musk sort of recently tweeted out that his pronouns are prosecute fauci which is extremely offensive to the
00:35:27.000
non-binary community yes well that's they were upset well rightfully so your pronouns are so
00:35:33.020
important they are so important they define you basically your entire personality they they are
00:35:38.000
they literally are they they are i'm turning i'm dying my hair blue and cutting it all off oh you look
00:35:43.340
so i know and so people were like half of them are upset about the pronouns like don't like
00:35:49.000
endanger people who are already marginalized i feel i feel like i'm in danger i feel very much in danger
00:35:55.660
you should only feel like you're in danger if you're fauci okay because shit's gonna hit the
00:36:00.280
fan for that man yeah all right yeah all right and we're not talking physical threats no we're not
00:36:06.200
threatening fauci no no but i mean shit's gonna hit the fan when the information's released like
00:36:10.120
well let's hope that's the thing it's like elon has been kind of all over the place lately yes so
00:36:15.020
does he actually have dirt on fauci i hope so yeah i would love to see it i'm sure there's some dirt it
00:36:21.500
just needs to be dug up yeah and there's this book that i haven't read but it's called the real
00:36:26.180
anthony fauci it's like this thick oh um people say it's a read and it gets into some dark stuff and
00:36:34.360
it's all verifiably true interesting yeah so i will read that and let you guys know and yet he remains
00:36:39.960
yeah in his position yeah great so we'll see what happens with that but you know fauci bad guy but
00:36:45.480
he's not a pedophile allegedly that we know of yeah um so apparently elon musk tweeted about former head
00:36:51.220
trust and safety ul roth being possibly connected to pedophilia citing one of roth's academic
00:36:56.300
dissertations he's a gay man roth and he suggested in his dissertation that gay dating apps like grinder
00:37:02.420
should should adopt safety policies to accommodate teenagers who already use the apps under age as a
00:37:07.300
form of harm reduction on social media and as we talked about in uh one of our episodes on social media
00:37:16.440
uh i think what was it like 83 percent of all human trafficking victims are are contacted
00:37:23.360
initially through social media so making the age limit lower on a dating site gay or straight
00:37:30.540
probably not a good idea no no no make it yeah you know what and you're the teenagers don't need to
00:37:36.680
date okay they just need to like do their homework yeah like obviously grinder tinder came from grinder
00:37:44.520
and it's both of them are really like directed at hookups like they're not really like dating apps so
00:37:51.360
much they're like sex apps um so maybe not for children yeah perhaps not and perhaps let's not
00:37:58.380
normalize uh dating apps for teenagers at all because they just need to focus on homework and popping
00:38:03.580
their zits okay that's it yeah yeah yeah um and so apparently after elon musk tweeted this out
00:38:12.040
uh this yul roth who like we said at the beginning was was the head of trust and safety at twitter
00:38:18.920
before uh elon musk dissolved the entire department because they weren't doing a good job because it was
00:38:25.700
a ton of child porn on twitter like a ton like that's weird i'm just so glad that like my algorithms
00:38:32.500
are like oh my gosh i've never seen it i've never either and i'm like i'm like oh my god there's
00:38:37.480
child porn on twitter but apparently it was a huge problem but imagine if you come across that i don't
00:38:42.720
know how i would want to made myself i would yeah i would go get medically medical assistance and dying
00:38:47.560
yes like i could not i don't want how do you unsee that i it's and i don't understand how like
00:38:53.700
concert like they had the time to go through anyone tweeting and sharing the hunter biden laptop story
00:39:00.120
but they couldn't deal with friggin child yeah pornography the most the most horrific thing
00:39:06.180
in the world literally the most disgusting horror like like disgusting what yeah it's priorities though
00:39:12.660
priorities okay so like this guy is in charge of safety at twitter whether he is a pedophile or not
00:39:19.020
i'm not we're not no we don't either way we're not accusing anyone he was in charge of protecting
00:39:24.360
twitter from unsafe things such as child pornography didn't do that and then meanwhile had this weird
00:39:32.940
dissertation about like oh let's lower the age for teenagers to get on a grinder it's a bad look so
00:39:38.600
anyways since elon musk tweeted that out uh apparently this guy yul roth has had to flee his home because
00:39:44.460
he's in danger now i haven't been able to find any actual like examples of the threats that he's been
00:39:50.820
getting yeah if people are threatening his life like that's not great let's not do that i don't
00:39:54.720
we don't encourage anyone to do that no no again like if what he's doing is illegal like let's deal
00:40:02.040
with that in a legal way um and prosecute yeah leave it to the government and the powers that be
00:40:07.120
exactly you know but like also was he or is this just like oh no i'm getting attacked on my got like
00:40:14.460
one mean comment yeah and i'm sure there there are unhinged people and i'm sure there are people
00:40:18.960
saying like we should bash his face in or something horrible like that yeah i'm sure that happens but
00:40:23.880
is that credible violence because people say the horrible things to us too yeah it's true we don't
00:40:27.920
flee our home and i don't even i don't even take it seriously i'm kind of like yeah whatever
00:40:32.200
no literally this girl messaged me on instagram and she was like i hope that you have like i hope
00:40:37.000
the worst things ever happen to you like whoa it wasn't like an it wasn't like a threat that she was
00:40:42.780
caught like directing at me but it was like she was like wishing harm on me and you so by the way
00:40:48.220
because because we are unkind to trans people therefore we deserve like
00:40:53.600
death and it's like okay we've never wished death on any trans person or anybody or anyone so
00:41:00.260
yeah how are we worse anyway anyway that's a side note side note we'll get into that another people
00:41:05.100
physically and don't dox them um but maybe this guy's being overdramatic yeah i think so could be
00:41:12.260
um and then one more thing on this and then we're gonna wrap up the sure our last sure before you go
00:41:18.960
on matley last year of the year so sad anyway um elon musk's started a twitter poll asking if he
00:41:25.220
should step down as the head of twitter and he said in the same tweet i will abide by the results of this
00:41:30.360
poll uh and the close the voting is now closed it capped off at just over 17 million votes i'm pretty
00:41:38.060
sure that's more people than voted for justin trudeau yeah i don't know oh it definitely would
00:41:42.680
be because canada only has like 30 million people yeah well i yeah maybe even more people than that
00:41:47.620
voted at all yeah exactly um but as of to well monday december 19th the results were 57 yes 43
00:41:54.860
no so we know the results yeah so it's a yes yes so he's stepping down yeah so i i think he was
00:42:01.240
the reason he uh conducted this survey was because there was that policy about not being able to post
00:42:08.680
about so other social media accounts on twitter or something like that and people were like this is
00:42:13.480
not free speech so i guess that he was receiving quite a bit of backlash from that i'm sure there
00:42:17.820
was other things that came yeah like also he should be focusing on mars yeah sure i mean he seems like
00:42:25.060
he's on twitter like 24 7 like ian miles chong levels of yes tweeting yeah you know it's like
00:42:30.960
do you not have better like again i like elon but and i was excited for him to take over twitter
00:42:37.360
but i really thought he was going to take like a hands-off approach where he just was like
00:42:41.300
welcome back everyone unless you're committing a crime like posting child pornography or doxing
00:42:46.460
someone or threatening physical violence like legitimately have at you like yeah like have fun
00:42:51.620
enjoy but he's kind of like a helicopter parent yeah kind of and like interacting with everybody
00:42:56.380
and yeah in his defense i understand that there's a lot that he a lot of kinks he needs to iron out
00:43:02.540
within the company like he there's a lot not private totally it's so true um i'm not pro elon i'm not
00:43:08.920
anti elon i don't really care i just it just we talked about this offline but it basically we just
00:43:14.600
shouldn't put our hope and trust in these people because they will disappoint you elon is disappointing
00:43:18.640
yeah some people idolatry some people are exactly and some people are simping for him that's fine
00:43:23.840
you're allowed to do that but maybe cool it guys like let's let's let this man show us who he really
00:43:29.180
is yeah yeah and and maybe he can hire someone so that's the question like who is he gonna hire maybe
00:43:34.800
he can hire someone that's better to be the ceo of twitter he's still gonna own it um but he's gonna
00:43:41.780
be like more hands-off which i think is a good idea yeah and maybe someone who's like more measured
00:43:46.540
yeah doesn't take things as personal yeah it'll be interesting to see i mean the grass is not
00:43:51.620
always greener but i'm i don't know i'm excited to see how this plays out i really still stand by
00:43:56.440
uh my initial belief that he should have just bought twitter and deleted it
00:44:01.000
but what would i do what would i do you have a baby coming oh okay well you're right that's a good
00:44:10.800
anyway anyways i think that's the sure i think that's the sure that's the last year of 2022 you guys
00:44:16.280
