Kat and Nat mock Gwyneth Paltrow’s misleading Uber Eats ad and critique divisive fitness narratives, like "fat ally" framing, while dismissing Obama’s "fatherless child" statistic as racist. They link societal polarization—from Kanye’s TikTok concerns to J.K. Rowling’s Twitter exploitation—to broader media censorship, warning it normalizes authoritarianism, citing COVID-era Quebec clips and dystopian books like The Hunger Games. The episode ends by promoting Rebel News Plus, framing it as a counter to mainstream distractions, from the Olympics to corporate hypocrisy like RBC’s sponsorships amid alleged government overreach. [Automatically generated summary]
Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, a show for all you culturally and politically misunderstood ladies and gents.
We are your hosts.
I'm Kat and I'm Nat.
And today we're going to be covering an array of topics from health and relationships to everyone's favorite child author, J.K. Rowling, to society.
Society, society.
As usual, we're going to kick things off with our weekly culture shock moment and we're going to let this one speak for itself.
Take it away.
This candle tastes funny.
Not bad, but funny.
Well, let's describe that for people who are just listening.
I would actually love to hear you describe that.
I feel like if I do that, I'm going to get in trouble.
But here we go.
It's an Uber Eats ad.
It's only six seconds long, and it's Gwyneth Paltrow taking a bite out of one of her special candles.
Many of you can just take a guess at what that candle is made of.
Well, it's made of probably like soy wax.
Well, yeah, but what does it look great?
It doesn't smell like the inspiration rather.
We'll let you guys Google that on your own.
Yeah, the reason it's shocking is because it's disgusting.
Yeah, and also, you know, it's kind of gross that Uber is trying to, Uber Eats rather, is trying to push this disgusting thing on us as if it's appetizing.
Like when I'm going on Uber Eats, I want to eat.
Yeah.
Who are you?
First of all, like biting into a candle, not tasty.
Butting into a candle that's supposed to resemble something.
Not appetizing.
So Gwendoly Paltrow, you make me sick.
Yeah, I have here in my notes, no.
Just one note.
No.
That's really it.
So, all right, maybe we should move on.
Yes, let us move on.
What should we talk about?
Let's just get.
So our first section that we're going to discuss is health.
And you can't talk about health without being fat phobic.
No.
Without being a good fat ally or falli, as I'm calling it now.
I like that.
So this headline here.
Six things fitness instructors should do to become a better fat ally.
Yeah.
So did you get a chance to read this article?
No.
Okay, well, I skimmed it.
I skimmed it.
That's really all you need to do.
It's really interesting.
So there are six things, okay?
Some of them are like offer a variety of movements, create online options, validate modifications, all things that I'm pretty sure fitness instructors already do.
They're ready to do, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Like you go to a fitness class and they're like, this is the hard version.
This is the.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
No, no, we don't vote.
No, no.
I have in my life.
Yeah, in life.
And they're like, oh, hey, you clearly suck at this.
Here's the mod.
Yeah.
I don't understand why.
I've never seen like been in a hot yoga class and them being like, hey, fatty, you're doing it wrong.
Get out.
Like, they're like, let me help you.
Yeah.
You don't need to go all the way down to touch your toes.
That's pretty much it.
Pretty normal stuff.
My favorite was offer a range of financing options.
Are fat people poor?
I mean, I'm poor.
Can I get this?
That's what I mean.
Can I get those financing options as well?
And where do you really draw the line here?
Like, why are we catering or pandering rather to just one type of person?
Like, obviously, we should encourage people to be a little bit more.
What about skinny poor people?
Well, exactly, like us.
But you know, like, obviously if you see an overweight person in the gym or in the fitness center, you're going to be like, yeah, all the power to you.
Like, I don't think anyone's like, get out of here.
No.
That would be really rude and not empathetic.
Yeah.
Maybe we're the real allies.
Yeah.
And you know what?
I've often looked up, and again, in the past, looked up fancy fitness classes and I'm like, oh, I can't afford that.
Yeah.
I will watch YouTube videos at home.
Absolutely.
It's like, you can still do it.
You can still get a pretty good pump in at home, it turns out.
See?
See?
Yeah, look at these guns.
Anyway, so that is that.
That is that, guys.
If you can't afford a gym membership, just get fat.
Maybe you'll get one for free.
Speaking of professional athletes, like us, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal says you shouldn't have to be forced to take the vaccine.
That's some bigotry.
Like he's spreading misinformation.
That's just and misinformation.
Yeah.
He should be banned from everything and should lose his house and his rights to see his family.
To have such a logical and open-minded view of things.
It's disgusting.
It's just, he makes me sick.
And what does he know about health?
Yeah.
What does he know?
The athlete who's dedicated his whole life to fitness.
Yeah.
Know about health.
Yeah.
No.
He couldn't possibly.
And, you know, not that it's important, but he's also a man of color.
And often we've found that people who are the most vaccine hesitant are members of the black community because they have historical reasons of being, yes, you know, untrustworthy of government medical interventions.
Which arguably we all should be.
Of course we should.
But it's like, what are we going to do?
Call him a bigot, a racist, a misogynist?
Like, what isms can we throw at Shaq?
Let's just start throwing ism.
Wait, he's too old.
Tall-ism.
Rich.
Talentedism.
So rich.
So muscularism.
But it's kind of weird that the NBA of all sort of leagues kind of has the most outspoken athletes about vaccine management.
It's kind of interesting.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the statistic that we do.
Well, it's not really.
I didn't throw out any numbers.
No, at least the fact that the African-American community is quite vaccine hesitant.
No, it's a good point.
So anyway, Shaquille O'Neal is a bigot.
Forget him.
He's canceled.
Shaquille who?
Yeah.
Okay.
So here's our next headline.
Yeah.
There's a disturbing rise in the cult of hardline anti-vaxxers.
So speaking of bigots.
Yeah.
You're a bigot.
You're a bigot.
We're all a bunch of bigots.
We're all bigots.
This is in the Toronto Star, so I'm not shocked by the headline whatsoever.
It's just like, first of all, the language, just the headline alone.
Disturbing.
Cult.
Hardline.
Anti-vaxxers.
Like, can you be more dramatic?
No, seriously.
And my favorite part is they go in, if you read the article, it says, a cult is generally considered to be a group or movement held together by a shared belief.
So I.e., ain't that you guys too?
Because you guys, like the media, the mainstream media is completely perpetuating this pro-vax narrative.
Are they part of a cult or is it just the rest of us?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
We're all great.
Everyone's in a cult.
We're all cultists.
Yes.
So that's interesting.
And then they also say try not to engage with anti-vaxxers online.
Maybe that's because if we start having conversations with each other, we'll see that we're not so different.
Yeah, and that's not good for their business.
Absolutely.
That's a really good point.
So they want us to be divided.
It's also funny because going back to last week when Justin Trudeau said that it was a, I can't believe that was only a week ago.
Oh, God.
Oh, my gosh.
Anyways, the small fringe minority of people with unacceptable views, they are now, Toronto Star is now saying there's a rise, a disturbing rise.
So it's like, is it a small minority people or is it like a lot of people?
That's a good point.
They're kind of shooting themselves down here.
Like they don't even know what's going to work because any of them are.
They're just throwing anything.
It's like just a small group of people.
Okay, it's a lot and it's disturbing how many people.
It's like, what?
Yeah, and I feel like we've talked about this before, but the article does kind of say that this stemmed from the Freedom Convoy, but aren't like a majority of truck drivers vaccinated?
I'm pretty sure it's a large chunk, something like 90%.
That's what they're throwing around, but it's hard to know.
It is hard to know for sure, but that's the common statistic.
Right, exactly.
So, I mean, how can you be anti-vax and vaccinated?
Yeah, well, I just posted or retweeted someone on Twitter today that was like just a girl holding up a sign.
She was covering her face with it, but she was like, I'm triple vax.
I'm anti-vaccine mandate.
And it's like, that's not, she's not the only one.
She's not the only one.
We've seen multiple.
She's a fringe minority of people.
No, I'm just kidding.
But like, those people are so cool because they, I mean, they did the thing.
They got their vaccine, which I'm like, whatever.
That's not my choice.
But I applaud you for making your own medical decision.
But they're also like, they have spines and brains and they're coming out and they're like, I made the choice, but.
Everyone should have that choice.
And I really respect those people.
Yeah, absolutely.
We have to be able to live together just respecting each other's differences.
No, you sound crazy.
I sound like Shaquille.
Yeah.
Wow, what a bigot.
If only I was as rich and tall as him.
One day.
Let's talk a little bit about relationships.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
It is almost V-Day.
So let's talk about all the horrible things happening in the world of love.
This headline, almost one in 10 moms aren't sure who fathered their baby.
What?
Yep.
So apparently they surveyed 1,000 British moms, finding that 7.8% admitted to lying over the biological lineage of their children.
Oh my goodness gracious.
So that means that women have been busy and they don't know.
They're too busy.
They're doing their careers.
They don't have time to remember.
I was going to say they're so busy sleeping around.
Yeah, for the sure.
But I mean, didn't Obama say something about like the importance of fathers?
You know, how like children are five times more likely to live in poverty when they don't have a dad and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of schools?
It's very racist.
20 times more likely to end up in prison.
So I think like it's interesting how the media is really trying to push this fatherless narrative as if it should be glorified in it.
And really it's very detrimental to people's well-being.
We spoke about this, I think, in our last episode of how, or maybe it was when we were talking to Sheila on the gun show.
Oh, true.
We were talking about how the media is pushing this narrative on young women.
And they've been doing it for years.
This is not even new for maybe 10 years.
But it's like having multiple sexual partners is totally cool.
And it's like sex positive.
And you're really limiting yourself if you just choose just to be a mother.
Like as if giving birth to and raising a child is like piffy.
Yeah.
Like, oh, that's all you've done?
Yeah, that's, you brought life into the world and then created a human being and a little person.
Yeah, and why do you think there's such a blatant attack on the nuclear family?
Like, we know that parents statistically grow up to be more successful when they have a mother and a 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 that.
But like, there's just this, even BLM, you know, jumped on this bandwagon with the denuclearization of the family and all this.
Like, why do you think they're doing that?
Do you think it's because society needs strong families in order for society to be strong?
Yeah, and I think the tinfoil hat theory is that like, you know how that World Economic Forum thing that was like, you'll have nothing and be happy.
Like it's more likely that you'll have nothing if you don't have a family to support you.
And if you're reliant on the government for welfare, that's also good for the government because they can say, look how many people need welfare.
Look how many people need help.
So we're going to raise taxes.
And so people who are trying to pay their way are paying into a system.
And they're like, well, why am I going to pay into the system and not benefit from it?
It's just like this circular thing where at the end of the day, everyone's on welfare.
Nobody has family.
Like no one owns anything.
You're not inheriting property from your grandparents.
Like you're relying on the government.
And I think ultimately that's what they want.
They want us to live in cubes, eat bugs, have nothing.
And not to bathe, but that's for another day.
Great.
Well, that's interesting.
So theory I have, but it's not my own theory.
Well, it's a good theory.
And I mean, like we said before, if you're a single mom, like all the power to you.
But I really think like there needs to be a shift in society where we're pushing for parents to stay together or just not sleep around with a million guys and not know who your kid's dad is.
Like a barrier.
That's the bedrock.
That's the bedrock.
Knowing who the father of your child is.
But this article is not just saying that they don't know.
It's like they're lying about it, which is incredibly shocking and upsetting to men out there.
It is.
Like a dad deserves to know.
He should have parental rights as well.
Yeah.
And just to know that that's his child.
Yeah.
I think there's a Kanye West song about this.
18 years, 18 years.
I think there's a Kanye West article about this, which maybe we should talk about next.
Oh, yes.
So let's pull.
I know we're skipping around.
There's so much going on with Kim and Kanye right now.
And to tell you the honest truth, I don't care about any of it.
But I think it's interesting because there's so much going on.
Like, I don't care about their little family squabbles.
But since we wrote our list to talk about today, like more drama has happened with the two of them where what, so what happened last week?
Okay, so he's not happy because his daughter North, who's eight years old, is on TikTok.
and Kim says, I guess she supervises her, and she says, well, she should be allowed to go on this platform that brings her happiness, which, okay, sure, but we...
She's eight.
That's the thing.
And we know social media has detrimental impacts on a woman's body image, depression.
I mean, look, when you go on Instagram, who do you see?
You see Bella Hadid and her $200,000 face.
I can't compete with that.
No, it doesn't make me feel good.
It doesn't make sense.
Or like people traveling or people getting married.
It's all stuff like what you don't have.
That's all Instagram is.
Exactly.
And it's all about comparison.
And an eight-year-old can't process that.
No.
No.
So I don't really think, I don't think Kanye's out of line here at all when it comes to that.
I think the saddest thing is just how public this divorce clearly is.
And I'm just wondering how it's trickling down to impact their children, you know?
Well, apparently it's not happening in a nice way because as of this weekend, I think it was yesterday, Kim.
Sorry, Kanye accused Kim of accusing Kanye of kidnapping their child.
I don't know which child it was.
Probably North.
Yeah.
I think she's quite close with her dad.
Yeah.
So like, so Kim Kardashian hasn't technically accused him of anything, but Kanye West is accusing Kim of accusing him of kidnapping.
It's like, what's happening in these poor children's lives?
Yeah, and it's hard to know what's really going on because we obviously are not them.
But I think just the fact that it's such a public thing is so destructive.
I don't know.
I just hope that they can work things out and do what's actually best for their kids rather than, you know, fuel this unnecessary drama.
Yeah, well, when you just said that, it reminded me that they are celebrities and that staying in the limelight is probably the most important thing for their business.
So while like when I was growing up, my parents were divorced and it was like everything that went on there was behind closed doors and nobody cared and that was just my own little personal trauma to deal with.
But I'm thinking how much worse would it be if it was on TMZ.
Public Divorces On Purpose00:09:09
Yeah.
But then you're like, well, then they could just keep it private.
Celebrities go through divorces and we don't hear about it.
Yeah.
And they're making theirs very public.
No, that's a really good point.
Maybe doing it on purpose.
Well, then, you know, my advice to you, Kim and Kanye, is maybe you should put your children first rather than your careers.
You rich enough?
You rich enough?
Yeah.
I would think that they're like pretty much royalty.
I think so.
Like American royals.
They're basically like the cooler Megan Markle and Prince Harry.
Yeah.
With a bigger butt.
Yeah.
They're like bigger butted Kim, Michael, and whatever their names are.
Like the queens.
They're very irrelevant.
The ginger and his wife.
Yeah.
So I guess with all these divorces happening, it might be easier to be single.
And according to another woman, according to another woman, she has decided that this is the route she's going to take for the rest of her life.
The article titled, I'm 37, I might be single forever, and I'm happy with that.
Are you?
I don't know.
Because it sounds like the fact that you're talking about it so much, maybe you're not so happy with it.
She's like overcomments and no, really.
I'm really happy.
I can't have, I don't have any money to do laundry.
I'm so happy about it, you guys.
It's amazing.
So here's the article.
And there is like a plethora of photos.
We are not going to look at them all because it's too indulgent.
But this woman is having like a sexy photo shoot by herself by herself on her bed.
And it's like, who are you talking to on that rotary phone?
Yeah.
Like, do you know the phone numbers of any of your friends?
That's such, that's such B.
I don't.
No.
911 is all I got, honestly.
And I mean, okay, obviously, marriage is not a guarantee, but don't you think this is kind of admitting defeat?
She's not 90 and like old.
She's young.
She's cute.
Yeah.
Like, you've got your whole life ahead of you, girl.
Maybe she thinks this is a way to meet a man.
Like, put yourself out there.
They're like, they're like, we need someone to do this article.
And she's like, ooh, like, you know, get a couple of good ideas.
I bet her IG is tagged in that article.
Oh, yeah.
You know what?
You know what?
She's gotten some DMs.
She has.
I think you're right.
Maybe she's a genius.
I mean, maybe she's married already.
Yeah, that's true.
She's a scam artist.
That would be so funny.
Never mind.
I'm married.
You can donate to my wedding fund here.
I wish her the best, though.
Oh, I know.
And I mean, okay, it would be hard to date in a pandemic, especially because, you know, the political climate right now is just like insane.
Vaxed versus unvaxed, conservative versus liberal.
I mean, I wouldn't want to do it, but I'm wondering if maybe this is a result of having too much choice because of social media, not social media apps, dating apps.
Do you think that makes it a bit overwhelming for people?
Because there's always the next best thing that can't settle.
I really think that's a psychological problem that's happening with too much choice.
Like we've all been to a restaurant with too many items on the menu and it takes you way longer to pick what you want than a menu that's like, you got meat and potatoes or you got salad?
Like what do you want?
And it's like, I want the meat and potatoes personally.
But I think you're absolutely right.
And maybe because our dating pools have become so small because of the pandemic, maybe people, and that's not even a good thing because what's going to happen is people are only going to be dating inside their own little ideological group.
That's a good point.
That's not great.
No.
Because then we're going to have, we're going to have a freaking Israel situation where we just have the seriously the offspring of the two groups are never going to have any interaction with each other because people are going to take them out of school and put them in homeschooling.
And then all the kids left in public funded schools are going to be like super lefty families.
And then you're like in 20 years, like what is society going to look like?
Very divided.
Yeah, that doesn't make me happy.
No, that's not a good thing.
So date people, go online, talk to people.
Have friendship.
Try to have empathy for your fellow man.
Don't be like.
Do you like the Toronto Star?
Yeah, don't be like the Toronto Star, guys.
And don't be like all of mainstream media during Christmas when they were like, don't invite your unvexed family members to Christmas dinner.
It's like, oh my gosh, I've never seen the media be so blatantly divisive in my very short, short life.
We're only 16.
So we've got a lot to learn.
That's funny.
Good stuff.
You know, going back to this woman, she's 37.
She wants to be single.
This next article that we're going to talk about may actually justify her decision to want to be single.
So there's a woman here who learns her boyfriend is the Tinder swindler and then she swindles him back.
Oh, the Tinder Swindler.
So I actually didn't know this, but apparently it's a Netflix documentary.
Oh my gosh.
So we should probably watch that.
We should probably watch that.
That sounds really interesting.
Yeah, it is.
So I guess depressing.
It sounds really depressing that this is where it's gotten to in society.
So basically, this woman said she was boarding a plane and then she read an article that basically was about her boyfriend at the time.
And I guess he scams other women and uses all their money to like get other women, basically.
So she discovers this, she gets off the plane, and then she calls the police and then she's like, I'm going to get him back.
Yeah, girl.
So I guess he was like searching for some money or something, which is kind of a red flag.
He's allegedly rich.
This is why you're dating this guy.
Yeah, he's asking you for money.
Kind of weird.
So I guess she's bought him a lot of stuff, like given him about $140,000 worth of stuff and money, I guess.
So she starts selling some of his stuff as payback.
Nice.
Yeah.
But like, I don't know.
I would probably want to be single at 37 if this is what was.
Yeah, yeah.
Like it's her husband?
No, this is her boyfriend.
Okay, okay.
Thank goodness.
Oh my gosh.
I know.
So much worse.
What a messy divorce.
I didn't explain that in court.
But seriously, like whose skis are they?
Well, I bought them for him, but he's swindling people, so I sold them to this lady.
So now technically they're her skis, but he wants them in the divorce.
That's too much.
It's too much.
The judge would be like, y'all are clowns.
Get out of here.
But this guy was like selling himself as like an heir to something.
And it's like, if you're dating this guy who's allegedly rich, why are you giving him money?
Probably is like, you know, that old scam.
That's like the African prince who's like money is tied up.
It's like, send me a check for $10,000 and I can free up my million dollars of assets and I'll send you 50 grand.
It's like this is like the oldest scam in the book.
Wow.
And it's still going wrong, I guess.
But I mean, good for her.
All the power to you, lady, for swindling him back.
You get him, girl.
You get him.
And then maybe go on Hinge and meet someone new.
Maybe just try again.
Yeah.
Just redo.
Roll together.
Just try him up again.
I'm sure there's nice guys out there.
Yeah.
Right?
Oh, my gosh.
I hope.
Oh, I hope.
We hope and pray.
We hope and pray.
Alrighty then.
On to single mothers who have done very well for themselves.
J.K. Rowling.
J.K. Rowling.
should we talk about jk rowling so um on oh my goodness This is such a weird one.
So on Friday, J.K. Rowling was trending on Twitter.
And when I always click on the things that interest me when they're trending, so I was like, I'm sure there's something to do with J.K. Rowling here.
So I click on the trend.
And what comes up is an article, a super, super, super sad article about a transgender woman who was murdered in Iraq by her brother.
Horrifying story.
Tragic murder of this poor woman.
Not sure why it had to do, like what it had to do with J.K. Rowling.
There was no mention of her in the article in any way.
It's just another way of tying transphobia to J.K. Rowling, even though she's involved in this not at all.
Just not at all.
That completely takes away from this person's death.
Yeah.
Like trying to make it about some bullshit thing that's completely irrelevant.
Yeah.
Like her name should have been trending.
Yeah.
Instead of J.K. Rowling's name.
And imagine you're her family and you're like, what?
Absolutely.
Why are they bringing in this British author?
What does she have to do with my child's murder?
Also, in what world has J.K. Rowling ever said anything hateful about trans people?
That's the thing.
Like nobody in the world wants a trans person dead.
No.
Because they're trans.
Only murderers.
Only murder.
There's already like a law against that.
Yeah.
It's murder.
Anti-murder.
So I really, I don't know.
This is just, it's so disgusting that it's stooped this low.
Yeah.
You know?
Like they're using this poor person's death as a reason to like drag J.K. Rowling more.
Yeah, like maybe the murderer's name should be trending so people know that name for accountability.
Like we gotta like honor the dead.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It seems like a silly thing and Twitter should be ashamed of themselves once again.
As per huge.
Okay, this is a fun one.
Yes.
We're gonna, it's still about J.K. Rowling, but it's more fun.
Yeah.
So which Harry Potter character are you?
Nat and I took this quiz.
I'm not happy with my result.
I don't know how to feel about my results, but you guys should do the quiz and let us know.
It's super fun.
It's also a really good way for big tech to get a lot of information on you.
They're like, they're like, what is the, what is the newspaper that you read every day?
And it's like, how, what?
None of these are the Quibbler.
Like, None of them have anything to do with Harry Potter, but they're just ways of gathering data on you.
So go ahead, give them your data.
Who cares?
So guys, I'm going to tell you what result I got.
Yes, please.
Drumroll.
I got Ron Weasley.
Okay, I got Ron Weasley.
Joe Rogan's Quibbler Quiz00:05:03
Why?
I don't know.
I'm the ginger sidekick.
Well, he's who has no powers.
I mean, he has some powers.
He's a wizard, but he's not a good wizard.
He has a rat front, like, and it's not even a real rat.
It's like a guy.
Pizza Pettigrew.
Oh, he's horrible.
Yeah, I mean, but he is part of like Harry's clan.
No, but he's like a shadow.
I guess.
But he, you know, he has some success.
He gets, he ends up getting it on with Hermione.
I know, couldn't I have been Hermione?
Yeah, that would have been.
They're like, no, you're too dumb for that.
You're not as annoying as Hermione.
That's why.
That's true.
Ron is less annoying than Hermione, but still really sad.
Yeah, well, you know, mine's a little weird too.
I mean, what'd you get?
I got Luna Lovegun.
See, she's cool.
Yeah, she's really cute.
She's super cute.
But I don't know.
Quibbler.
That's how she talks.
Yeah, that is how she talks.
Wow.
See, you know what?
I can only say her saying Quibbler.
My favorite part about this quiz is it doesn't give you any reason why.
It's just like, this is who you are.
It's like, well, what about me and Luna are the same?
Doesn't matter.
We're going to advertise a Nissan to you later.
That's exactly what happened.
Yeah.
And now I bought a Nissan.
Oh, boy.
So that's fun.
Guys, go out and do it because it's fun.
But we'd love to hear your results.
Yeah, but you're going to get a lot of targeted ads after YouTube.
Yes.
Yes, you will.
But you know what?
Who doesn't have targeted ads?
Don't blame us, please.
Speaking of ads, maybe we should.
Oh my god, this is perfect.
Yes.
This is a perfect opportunity.
So we have a sponsor.
Yes, we do.
So exciting.
Yes, we've never been more excited about anything in our lives.

Yay.
That was stunning.
We did it.
We did our first ad read.
I'm so proud of us.
Okay.
Well, let's talk about Joe Rogan then.
Yeah, we have Joe Rogan.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, we have to.
I know, we have to.
Like, I'm like, this week we're not going to talk about Joe Rogan, I promise.
And it's like, well, we have to talk about Joe Rogan.
No, we literally have to.
So much has happened.
Oh my gosh.
Every time I go on Twitter, it's like trucks and Joe Rogan.
So let's just talk about Joe Rogan.
Basically, Spotify is standing behind Joe Rogan.
Yeah.
He's awesome.
So kind of, there's all sorts of stuff happening.
They made him remove 70 episodes where he used the N-word.
Right.
And I've listened to Joe Rogan for like five years and I've never heard him say it, but I know he has because they have this compilation of him saying it.
He says it's, and he says, prefaces this by saying, it's not my word.
I shouldn't have used it.
However, the context was I was quoting people who had said it.
Like song lyrics, lines from Quinton Tarantino films, who's also a white person who uses that word all the time.
So it's like.
Context should matter.
Context should matter.
You know, and I almost don't think he should have apologized.
Obviously, that word is horrific and we shouldn't use it.
But when you apologize, you're kind of bending a knee to the mob.
And the mobile phone.
I just apologized last week.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Like, it just, that's not, you're never safe when you apologize to the mob.
He made one apology and now he's had to make a second one, and people are still going for the throat.
But Spotify is saying, so he removed the 70 episodes, but he uses the word, and we're doing this thing where we're putting the warning on controversial episodes.
And they're like, that's pretty much all we can do.
Spotify CEO, I think it's Daniel Eck, he said canceling him, silencing him is not the answer.
No, and it's totally slow.
When you silence, like, where do you draw the line here when it comes to censoring people?
And I actually think, like, should he ever get deplatformed?
This is like that sets a horrible precedent for the rest of us because he is one of the largest podcasters in the world.
It's not looking good.
No.
It's not looking good.
So I will go to whatever platform he's on when he gets canceled, if he ever gets canceled.
But yeah, I think if he was to get removed from Spotify, which, you know, could happen because they're saying this, it's today.
By tomorrow, everything could be different.
If he left, he has 11 million people that are going to follow him, including myself.
Like, I'll just download whatever platform.
Like, I don't care about Spotify.
Yeah.
No, I'm not.
I'm not listening to Spotify.
I'm listening to Joe Rogan.
Absolutely.
And I think the CEO knows that.
And I think it's nice that this kind of big tech corporation has backed him in that regard because you don't see that very often in 2022.
No, you don't.
Silencing The Largest Podcasters?00:03:45
You usually see people just going, okay, mob, whatever you want.
Please don't poke me in the butt with your pitchfork.
Yeah, but anyway, it's really important, I think, to keep following this story because, like I said, it's going to set a precedent for the rest of us if this massive, massive commentator gets booted.
Well, he's the biggest broadcaster on the planet right now.
So he's going to get canceled.
Other than us, people who listen to him are just going to follow him.
Yeah.
Other than us.
Other than us.
He's like, he's got like a couple more followers than us.
One or two million.
Yeah, like one or two or 11 million more.
Whatever.
Whatever.
Semantics.
You know what?
But, you know, so this whole like censorship thing that's been happening in society is a little bit dystopian.
Maybe we should talk about some dystopians.
Novels.
Why is the generation of dystopian literature okay with authoritarian rule?
This is an article from Evie.
We love Evie.
Yes, we do.
This is a really good question.
So the picture on the article is classic.
It's Katniss Everdeen.
It's weird how a generation of young girls and boys who grew up reading like Insurgent and what's it?
Divergent.
Divergent Hunger Games.
Hunger Games.
Maze Runner.
Sure.
All of those people that read those books, they have no problem with actual authoritarianism when it comes and slaps them in the face in real life.
Yeah.
Very strange.
So the article has a couple theories on that.
One of them is the fact that a lot of these books actually distract from the authoritarianism of romance and romance.
And then the other one is the fact that kids just don't know history.
And I think that's the scariest thing.
Yes, that part of the article was very telling.
Yes.
Like, so many Americans don't know what the civil war, I think that's the example they use the Civil War.
They're like, who won the Civil War?
And like, I forget the stat, like what the percentage was, but it was a very high percentage of students who were like, I have no idea.
Yeah.
What's who was even fighting in the Civil War?
It's like, well, it kind of tells you right in the name.
It's very upsetting.
And scary because if you don't know your history, you're bound to repeat it.
Yes.
And we're seeing that right now with the COVID-19 pandemic, right?
Like we're seeing a government overreach that we've never seen in our lifetime before.
And I think you'd think kids would be able to recognize it because we've grown up reading these stories.
And the hate that's being manufactured by the media and the government for your fellow man is so palpable and terrifying.
And remember a couple weeks ago, there was that clip from, I think it was a Quebec broadcaster, and it was like a televised event.
And there were people, adults, talking to children in Quebec, and they were asking them, what should we do with people who are not vaccinated or refuse to be vaccinated?
And the kids were like, I think they should go to prison.
It's like, this is no good.
No, this is no good, people.
That's like brainwashing.
Yes, it's absolutely terrifying.
Like, who, what kind of vitriol and hatred have those parents and teachers been pouring onto these soppy, sponge-brained children?
No, it's.
And are they ever going to grow out of that hate?
I don't know.
I mean, God willing, we should definitely pray for the children.
Just take a moment to pray for them right now.
Maybe pause the episode and, you know, get down on them knees.
Get down on them knees because it's scary.
It's terrifying.
It's so scary.
And this is being normalized every day in Canada.
Like, this is, you know, like, man, history repeats itself.
It's so funny.
Like, I'm just trying to picture a 17-year-old kid right now reading Hunger Games in their sweatpants with like Uber Eats on the way and Netflix on in the background.
And they're like, oh, this is horrible.
Like, I'm such a catness.
Like, I would totally stand up against that regime.
And then meanwhile, they're like, mask up.
Yeah.
Do you think part of the problem is because so many people are Team PETA and he's icky to me?
He's such a soy boy.
PETA, which one's he?
He's the one she chooses, I think.
Oh, Catnus.
Oh, yeah.
He's the one that got all skinny because he was in the Capitol and he was brainwashed and abused.
Like These People Can't Walk00:09:49
Yes.
Like, if that's who you're looking up to as like a symbol of the other one.
Me too.
The angry one.
Me too, the masculine one.
Yeah, who was like, I'm going to kill him.
And they're like, no, there's a better way.
And he's like, I don't care.
Like, that's maybe that's the problem.
All these women are like, oh, I like the soy boy.
Yeah, like the little one.
And that's why we got no fight.
Yeah, we got no fight in us anymore, kids, because we're all just reading these novels about dystopias, but we're not standing up when we're living in one ourselves.
No.
Weird.
Weird.
The braid isn't going to save you guys.
No, the braid will not.
Cut the braid off and get your, I don't know.
Get a cute lob and stand up and peacefully protest against the government.
Yeah.
Go hug a trucker.
Um, why are Kendall Jenner and Haley Bieber allowed to park illegally in handicapped spots?
Matt, do you know?
Um, I know why.
Why?
It's because celebrities can do whatever the heck they want, even if it involves breaking the law.
Look at the title of this.
Yeah, we park in handicapped spots.
Gotta dodge the paparazzi.
So the funny thing is, they're security.
Is that a direct quote?
Yeah, I think so.
I think it's not.
They bring their security with them anyway.
So what do you mean about dodging the paparazzi?
You literally have pay new protection.
And you have paid paparazzi.
Yeah, that too.
Friggin' Kendall Jenner?
Like, the Jenners are notoriously bad for that.
Yeah.
Having like, oh, I just stepped out of my car.
And it's like, you're not carrying a wallet.
Like, where are you going?
Yeah.
No, I mean, I got out of your car with no car keys.
We do it all the time too, though.
Admitted.
Drive without car keys.
No, we get out, we call the paparazzi.
Oh, yes.
They never show up, though.
We're like, we're going to be on the corner pretending to get out of our car.
You can take pictures of us.
We're holding cups, Starbucks cups.
They wait for hours.
It's freezing.
By one time they come, we're like, wow.
But like, also, can't they carpool or call an Uber or something?
Yeah, they're going to carpool.
Okay.
They're going to get in their friend's mom's van that's already going downtown.
That's a good point.
But they could take their like private helicopter, right?
They could just like drop and then get out and then the helicopter can keep going.
Like parking.
Oh, there's pictures too of them actually parked in a handicapped spot.
It's just so funny because all these people preach.
Oh, yeah.
All these people preach at us, you know, about how we're supposed to live our lives.
We got to be good citizens, you know, take care of her, whoever, responsible.
Yeah.
And yet here we are taking a parking spot away from someone who might actually need it.
Yeah.
Like literally, those parking spots are for disabled people.
Just get your drive, like get some, pay someone to let you out of the car and then to just drive it and park down the street and then they can come and get pick you up when you're ready to go.
That's too long.
Do they want me to do that job?
I will do it.
I'll do that job for $140,000 a year.
That's very good deal.
That's so cheap for them.
That's super cheap.
That's a joke.
But we have to do it together, so double that.
Okay, yeah, no.
Sorry, double that.
Yeah, so we're hiring.
Call us at misunderstood at rebelnews.com.
Send an email.
You heard it.
We'll be checking.
Yeah, you heard it here first, ladies.
Perfect.
Oh, I hope that they figure that out for themselves.
I don't think they will because no one holds these people to account.
No, rich people can do literally whatever they want if they have enough money.
Yes.
Speaking of, speaking of, does everyone know their favorite baldy Jeff Bezos?
You know, he's so rich and yet he can't afford to like get hair.
Yeah, that's so weird.
It is weird.
It's so weird.
Maybe he likes it.
Maybe.
You know, like, look, I don't mind it.
I'm not judging.
No, some people look fantastic.
What we are judging Jeff Bezos for is that Rotterdam may dismantle part of a bridge for Jeff Bezos' super yacht to get through.
So there's a bridge and his boat is too big to go under the bridge.
So they are considering dismantling the bridge, which, you know, it's like, well, on one hand, who cares?
And on the other hand, it's like, what are we doing here?
What are we doing?
For better need for infrastructure money.
Like, that's a really good point.
And I would just like to point out that I can't even get a plow to clear the snow on my street.
Like, I skated to work this morning because it's too much trip and it's all just like a huge pile of snow and you get snow in your boots.
And there's no sidewalk.
There's hardly any some of the streets are even just like half plowed.
So it's like one lane and people are like, literally.
But Jeff Bezos can just roll up into Rotterdam with his giant yacht.
Get a smaller yacht.
Yeah.
Why build a yacht that's slightly smaller?
Or, you know, just take a different route.
I don't get why.
Like, I don't understand.
Or like park your yacht and then like have your other yacht waiting on the other side.
Exactly.
Like I'm sure your good friend Leonardo DiCaprio.
I don't know if they're friends, but he has a yacht.
Just borrow his.
It's smaller, probably.
Listen, I can do that job too.
Included in the $40,000, $140,000 a year.
I will also coordinate your yacht, Jeff Bezos.
Email us.
I will be waiting.
So it's misunderstood at rebelnews.com.
So please, please, please send us an email.
Yeah, we're waiting.
Yeah, and I guess the city hasn't confirmed this is taking place.
But even the fact that they're humoring this guy, I know he's a powerful man.
I know he's really rich.
And I guess money talks, but really, like, sometimes we should just say no to these people.
No, you can't park in the disabled spot.
No, you can't drive your $500 million lot through a bridge.
Yeah.
No.
Let's just not.
I mean, I guess as like freedom lovers, we're supposed to be like, I don't care about that.
It just seems silly.
It just seems so, so silly.
The handicap thing is like not really about freedom.
It's like these people can't walk.
Yeah.
So we need to let them have the spots closest to the door.
That has nothing to do with freedom.
That's just common sense.
This one is like, okay, if I'm going to be like, I'm not even a libertarian, but if I was to take that, it'd be like, okay, freedom.
Like, he has the money.
Let him do it.
Who's it hurting?
It's like, well, probably people need to cross that bridge.
Yeah.
Probably like, oh, the bridge is closed.
I can't get to work today because the rich guy from America needs to get his yacht through here.
And like, is the yacht going to be too big for like the bay?
The canals?
Man, it's a $500 million lot.
It should be able to just flip.
Yeah, it should fly over.
Fly.
Like, Peter Panett, you know?
You don't even have a flying yacht, Jeff Bezos.
Are you poor?
We already ordered ours.
I mean, maybe this is just another way to get in the news because he's not as rich as Elon Musk and Elon Musk is always like firing off on Twitter and always trending.
Yeah.
So maybe this is just his way.
He's like, I don't have a lot of funny tweets, but I can get a bridge dismantled and I can have media write about it.
So what I'm getting from this episode today is that celebrities are really desperate for attention.
Like, y'all, are you guys okay?
Like, do you need to talk about this?
Like, we got Kim, we got Kanye, we got Kendall Jenner and the other one.
Oh, yeah, Haley.
We got Jeff.
Like, you guys, like, do you need some more attention?
Yeah, just become a conservative.
Then you'll be in the middle of the day.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Just go down to the Truckers Rally.
Yeah.
Like be all over the place.
And I think it's because the trucks are taking up so much of everyone's mental energy.
There's celebrities like, guys, us, Hong Kong.
We're over here.
Hong Kong.
We were looking for like celebrity gossip the other week or the other day for this episode.
It's been uninteresting.
And we're like, this is boring.
You guys aren't doing anything.
Get out there.
Mix it up.
So celebrities are clearly.
So that we can criticize you.
Yeah, we need it.
We need the content.
Get it.
Great.
Speaking of content nobody cares about, the Olympics?
What?
I didn't know that they were going on.
Oh my God, are they?
But actually, are they?
I'm still convinced they are.
I'm pretty sure.
The only reason that I'm pretty sure that they are is because I saw James Lindsey tweet about it.
Okay.
And he's a single source.
He's a reliable source.
He uses his tweet.
In my opinion, the Olympics aren't occurring.
Won't say anything more about it because they don't exist.
So, I mean, I guess if I was just to base my opinions off this tweet, I would say that there's no Olympics.
I don't think there are.
There's no Olympics.
There's no.
However, in my travels on the Twitter, I find it's basically 99% truck content.
And then you'll get like a promoted tweet from like Visa that's like, the Olympics, here's Canada's like snowboard team.
And you're like, hmm?
Didn't even know we had a snowboard team.
Give us the trucks.
Let's just give us the trucks and give them medals.
But I mean, it's pretty controversial that they let the Olympics take place in a country that is still in lockdown.
It reminds me of 1939.
Bully Hitler.
Bully.
But like people will often reference that.
Like, oh, it's so weird how those creepy Olympics that they had in 1939 in Germany, like at the beginning of the war.
And it's like, again, like we were saying, when you don't study your history, you're doomed to repeat it.
We're doing that right now.
The Olympics are being held in a country that's currently committing genocide.
Yeah, and is still in lockdown.
Yeah.
Like their citizens are locked down.
Like there's a lot of bad things happening.
A lot of bad stuff going on.
Not to mention North Korea.
No, yeah.
Not even, let's just throw that in there too.
But it's so, like, I love the Olympics.
Me too.
I'm like one of those fan people that has it on all the whole time.
I even watched the ones in the summer because I was so bored.
Yeah, it's a great way to unite people in such a divisive time.
Winter Olympics, Canadians slay.
Exactly.
Literally and physically and figuratively and literally.
Slay.
Amen.
Amen.
Oh, I thought you were going to be my fucking awkward.
But I can't watch them this year because of the genocide.
Yeah.
Like, and it's what, oh, you know, poor me missing out on hockey, but it's like, I'm not going to support a country that's committing a genocide.
And it's super weird that like the Royal Bank of Canada is one of their main sponsors.
And we're just like, oh, yeah, that's cool.
It's not cool.
It's not cool, guys.
Like, Rebel News can't even get a mortgage from RBC.
Yeah.
And yet they're sponsoring, as you said, literal genocide.
Like, you're sponsoring genocide.
Bit of a weird double standard there.
And actually, it makes you guys look kind of crappy.
Looks kind of crappy.
Everyone's like, oh, the virus.
It's killing everyone.
They're literally killing people.
Multiple people that happen to be Muslims.
No one cares.
No one cares about Islamophobia anymore.
It's genocide.
Who cares?
Because it's fun.
It's the Olympics.
And like the Lululemon outfits.
Okay, the Lululemon.
They look like lobsters.
They're awful.
Like, they are terrible.
I like Lululemon.
Yeah, for sure.
Why Overdo It With Blush?00:09:44
Awesome.
Come on, you guys.
You could have done way better.
Just give us like a cute coat.
Yeah.
Why does it have all these like flaps on it?
They literally look like they have like lobsters.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, I want to eat it.
It almost looks absolutely Buddha.
Yeah.
It's very strange.
Let's not do genocide.
Let's not support the Olympics.
No, I'm just kidding.
You can do what you want.
What do you want?
I'm not going to support them because I don't like genocide.
Also, they aren't happening.
Yeah, they're not happening.
What Olympics?
What Olympics?
I don't care how many sponsored tweets I get.
Not happening.
Don't care.
I'll watch them again in four years when everything's better.
You know what?
I like your optimism, but also I am curious to see how their viewership is doing so far.
Like, I wonder.
We'll have to address this when it's done because I wonder if it's lower than usual.
I think the summer was lower, too.
We'll find out.
That'll be fun.
I guess people don't like elitist BS.
And genocide and murder.
Yeah.
And like communism.
Yeah.
Teenagers do, but they don't know what the heck's going on.
Yeah, they're just reading Hunger Games.
I'm Katniss, except put your mask on.
Get vaccinated.
Just do it.
Just do it.
That's it.
Maybe we should end on a lighter note.
Oh my gosh.
That would be a good idea.
Let's just, you know, it's, we've jumped around a lot.
If you're still listening, we love you.
Oh, my gosh.
Thanks, you guy.
Yeah.
You guy.
You guy.
Maybe we should talk about some fun beauty trends that are making a comeback this year.
This is interesting.
I haven't read this yet.
No, I skimmed it.
Okay.
I'm really good at skimming.
Oh, so cool.
Let's take a look.
Let's take a look.
Let's slam it up there.
Okay, here we go.
So let's see.
Trend number one is what is this?
What is it?
Oh, friggin' Eevee.
They have skinny eyebrows.
No, Do we have a photo example?
Oh, my.
She's a fan of that.
Well, she bought that.
She bought those.
You know, okay.
She actually looks really beautiful with the skinny eyebrows, though.
She does.
And why can't we just normalize all eyebrows?
All eyebrows, yeah.
Like, everyone is born with different eyebrows.
That's why I'm kind of okay that this is coming back.
You have beautiful fluffy brows, but I'm from a different world.
This took years of the year.
Yeah, that was $200,000 worth of hair implants on my face right now.
Well, you know what?
You should send your guy to Jeff, Bezos, he could use some help.
Yeah.
There.
Okay, so this one's not the worst.
Not so bad.
You know, I think you should wear eyebrows that frame your face nicely.
I agree.
And not worry about the trends.
Eyebrows.
Moving on.
What else do we have?
Neon eyeshadow.
Okay.
I mean, I don't think that that was ever a no-no.
Can we, like, is that safe for work though?
Should we come to work tomorrow, sporting somewhere?
That's some serious neon that this girl has on.
That looks gorgeous.
Yeah, she looks super.
It's just like you're not going to go to work like that.
I don't think that.
And you never were.
I don't think the average person is going to be applying that look.
No.
And it's not like we can go out to a bar to show it off.
Oh, yeah.
Some people can.
It does look a little clowny, but also it's cool.
It's very fashion.
And I will say this: I've definitely seen similar looks in the past five years.
Yeah.
This is not that new.
Like, ooh, bold eyeshadow.
Wow.
Yeah.
Groundbreaking stuff, you guys.
Took up with like colored eyeliner.
Like, that's.
Ooh, colored eyeliner is cool.
I love colored eyeliner.
But that's been, I have a neon, like, bright blue, like, the color for eyeshadow.
I have that in an eyeliner.
So it's not new.
Yeah.
It's not a new look.
Anyways, we'll do it.
Maybe I almost sort of wonder if some of these industries that are selling these products are just not doing as well.
So they're like, this is trendy now.
Oh, yeah, they are.
100%.
Like, juicy lip gloss.
What does that even mean?
Like, isn't all lip gloss kind of juicy or is it like the color or is it like the shine?
Is it like juicy tubes?
Did you ever have juicy tubes?
Yeah.
Maybe it's just the.
No, I think this is rare beauty.
So this is Selena Gomez's lip.
Again, like lip gloss never went on a style.
No, but it is, it is becoming more of like a thing.
I feel like lipstick was a little trendier than it was.
It was.
You're right.
You're right.
Like a matte color.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I mean, this is kind of nice.
I mean, Selena Gomez looks great.
Look at her skin.
Her lips do look juicy.
I'm not going to lie.
I want to bite them.
Yeah.
Again, I've been wearing lip gloss for 10 years.
So maybe I'm super out of style.
Maybe I'm like a trendsetter.
Oh my gosh.
That's it.
I think that's it.
I like that much better.
Okay, contouring.
I thought contouring was still in.
I hate contouring.
But it never went out, right?
Yeah.
Kim Kardashian a couple years ago started the no-touring, non-touring, and it was like not contouring.
I definitely missed basic faces, regular faces.
But contouring stinks.
Don't do it.
You look like a clown.
Unless you have a professional makeup artist who's like using studio lighting and they can see you're going to walk around with brown streaks on your face.
That's true.
You're going to look like a.
Like, what?
Not you.
This is news to me.
Okay.
So contouring's back apparently, though.
So, you know what?
Just walk around with streaks on your face.
Yeah.
And those little tiny disco ball noses that people where they have like the all the line.
The line.
We should do our makeup out of hand.
We should do each other's makeup.
We should do each other's makeup next week.
All trends.
Okay, blush straight.
Okay, I watched a video on this because I was like, what?
It's just basically too much blush.
Oh, that's too much.
And you wear it on your ears and your neck.
Does it look good?
Did you look like you were like just come out from a winter?
I didn't try it on myself.
I just watched this dude do it.
And she looks good.
Yeah, she looks really good.
The thing about blush is like, blush is great.
I love blush.
Me too.
You can't.
You can't.
Really, you can't.
Like, you can have too much blush, but you can't.
Yeah.
Because if you have too much blush, if you blend what you have, you're good.
Yeah.
You can just blend it.
And so I like to bring my blush all the way to my eyes.
Like, I do it all around my eyes and on my cheeks and my nose.
And this is just taking it further and going down your neck.
And I'm like, well, my hair's covering that.
So I don't need, I'm not going to do that.
Well, this is something to look 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.
Perfect.
You're good.
What else?
Matte makeup.
Okay.
What?
When did this go out of style?
I thought this was always in.
I think it's like not highlighting.
Does it mean like having dewy skins not in?
Because I'm not going to be in because this, I'm all do.
I guess it's just like use more powder, less highlighter.
Okay, so look chalky.
Yes, look very chalky.
Okay.
Well, Adele looks very beautiful in this.
Yeah, she's not looking chalky.
No, she doesn't look chalky.
She's clearly just woken up from a nap.
Yeah.
So the no makeup look is really working.
Yeah, really.
Just be naturally beautiful and also have a bunch of facial surgery.
My favorite is like on TV, you know, when they like someone wakes up and they have a full face of makeup.
Oh my god, that's my favorite.
Like literal like glossy lips and like sparkly eyeshadow.
Oh, yeah.
And their eyeliner is not smudge.
Yeah.
Okay, chunky highlighter.
Highlights.
I think this is a good one.
This is perfect for me because I already have those because that's just how my hair is.
No, I think it looks good.
I like it.
I'm glad this is coming back.
The thing is, this, again, when you say chunky highlights, I'm thinking like 1999 where we all had like a bright yellow chunk here and then all brown hair.
That's not what we're talking about.
I remember in the sixth grade, I had literally six pink highlights.
Like one, two, three on each side.
Like those are chunky.
Those are not coming back in.
But J-Lo looks great.
She looks amazing.
That's a nice blend.
Like chunky.
Is that chunky or is that exactly what we've been seeing for the last week?
Yeah, I don't know.
It's hard to tell.
Like, is my hair chunky?
Because it looks like that.
Although hers looks a lot better.
Yours looks great.
Mine does look great, but it looks beautiful.
She looks like she's been completely doused and filtered.
So much filtering.
Yeah.
Like, she looks 12.
She does look 12.
Ma'am, Miriam.
She makes us as 16-year-olds look really old.
As 16-year-olds look really, really old.
So hers, I don't.
Okay, that's a chunky highlight.
That's more chunky.
I like the blending of J-Lo's a little bit.
It's a maleage.
Yeah, kind of in a way.
It's just chunky, but not going all the way to the bottom.
It's a little less blended.
So that's interesting.
Yeah.
Hair accessories.
Oh, my God.
They've been in style for years.
I've been wearing my chunky headbands.
Headbands like every other day.
It's literally my other religion.
They just get bigger and bigger.
Yeah.
I can't walk through some doors.
But I'm glad they're not going out because I.
Okay, that's great.
You know what that is?
I'm excited about this one.
Yeah.
And like, and like those berets that we all used to wear in sixth grade.
Yeah.
They've been around forever.
Yes.
I saw this little kid at church the other week wearing like giant berets and I was like, so cute.
Yeah.
And she was stylish.
It wasn't even like cute in a kitty way.
I was like, that looks cute.
I like that for her.
And then the 90s style boy bob.
I feel like that was in kind of in the last year or so anyway.
Because we've been reliving the 90s for 10 years.
Yeah, honestly.
Can we move on to another decade?
Yeah, like let's do like the 1800s.
Let's go.
It's all like powdered wigs.
Yeah, like let's do a revolution, you know?
Like I want to do it.
I want to wear a Tuppet.
I want my hair to have a boat in it.
And a fruit bowl.
Yes.
That would be an interesting article.
Like fruit bowl heads.
Let them eat fruit bowls.
I think we're done with this.
It's been close up.
Our closing thoughts are, we're the real trendsetters.
Actually, you know what?
You can set your own trends.
Yeah, guys, do your thing.
Do whatever you want.
If it looks cute, it looks cute.
Yeah.
And you know, if it doesn't look cute on yourself, you know.
That's the thing.
You got to take a step back.
You got to look in the mirror and be like, this is not working.
Just be honest with yourself.
Thank you guys for listening.
Yeah.
We really appreciate it.
