Nat and Kat’s Miss Understood debunks Dean Blundell’s baseless "Give, Send, Go" donor claims and mocks progressive backpedaling on COVID policies while critiquing declining marriage rates (49% households now vs. 80% in the 1950s) as a sign of selfishness over commitment. They dismiss a superficial obesity vaccine, question TikTok’s overpathologizing of teen mental health, and mock gender politics like "women" replacing "ladies" in figure skating. Jennifer Say’s resignation from Levi’s highlights corporate "wokeism" suppressing dissent, even on child education harms, exposing performative inclusivity. The episode ends by urging listeners to support Rebel News Plus with code MISUNDERSTOOD25 for alternative perspectives. [Automatically generated summary]
Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for the politically and culturally misunderstood lady and gent.
We are your hosts.
I'm Nat and I'm Kat.
And today we're going to be covering an array of topics, but first we're going to start with our patented culture shock moment.
Take it away.
So this week, this old boomer named Dean Blundell, who used to be, or is he still?
No one even knows and no one cares.
He used to be on The Edge.
He had a radio program there.
Now he's just kind of like this old, grumpy old man who is trying to get people murdered.
So he tweeted out that he had a list of all the people that donated to Give, Send, Go for the Truckers Convoy.
Now this list was already public, so he was like, someone leaked it and I have the intel.
It's like, no, it was public record.
And we're not going to show you the names on it because, I mean, it's public record, but we're not trying to get into trouble.
But the thing that was the shocking point of all this, at the end of his little blog article, which is so cute because he has a blog.
It's very cute.
Aww.
He writes, at the very, very end, he wrote that you're going to see, let's scroll down.
I think it's right at the bottom.
Okay, go up a little bit.
Yes, so the pro tip that he wrote, Trudeau is calling a state of emergency to give people their f ⁇ ing city back.
I guess I shouldn't have said that.
We'll bleep it tomorrow.
And I think you might see some guys' heads get freedom from their shoulders.
Okay, Dean.
You okay, bud?
You okay, Dean?
You okay?
I mean, are you just so sad that no one knows who the hell you are?
Is that why you're going to great lengths to be such a jerk?
He's like, not only, I don't know if, I don't know if it's technically doxing because it's public record, but he's trying, like, he's attempting to dox.
Yeah, like he thinks he's doxing.
He thinks he's doxing and he's doing a bad job at it, but he's also saying, hey, guess what, guys?
Tune in because pro tip, you're going to get to see some decapitations.
Like, I don't think he's being proverbial there.
I think he actually thinks the police, the state of emergency, the police are going to go in and start cutting people's heads off.
Like, Mary Antoinette, that time, that time in history is gone.
We can't do that anymore.
And we don't cut off people's heads that we don't agree with anymore, Dean.
No, and my favorite part is that he mentioned that this isn't the first time Give, Send, Go has funded an insurrection.
Sorry, what?
Yeah.
What was the other time that it wasn't an insurrection?
Also, this is not an insurrection.
Like, the Trucker's Convoy, it's literally just people making pancakes and dancing.
Yeah, it's like little kids being like, yay, Canada.
I love truckers.
I want to be one.
Yeah, that's not an insurrection, my friend.
Marriage as Sacrifice00:04:00
No.
He is the worst.
And let's move on and never speak of him again.
Good call.
Perfect.
Let's do it.
Nat, what day is it today?
It's speeding.
Oh, my God.
Where did you get me?
Oh, my gosh, I got you.
Pride.
My own pride.
I got you, Nutling.
You know what?
Nat gave me a bottle of wine after our first episode, and I got her nothing.
It's true.
Where did you get me?
Nothing.
But it's Valentine's Day, and it's so exciting for her.
It is.
For some people.
Like teenagers.
Yeah, teenagers.
Newlyweds.
I think they enjoy it.
Do you enjoy Valentine's Day?
To be honest, I'm going to the dentist later.
So that sounds extremely.
So you're going to get some action.
I'm going to get like, there's something going on in there later.
So it's just, that's lovely.
The first article we want to talk about is America giving up on marriage?
And I would say not just America.
Is the Western world giving up on marriage?
This is an American magazine.
It's Eevee, which we love.
It's an American magazine.
And it seems like they're talking about people giving up on marriage.
And I think that's a fair assessment.
Like we've talked about this in the past, that the narrative is constantly like women shouldn't burden themselves with family life and they should focus on their careers and having multiple sexual partners.
It's very, very feminine.
Yeah, and I guess there's a study that was conducted that showed like only 49% of households in America are made up of married couples.
And in the 50s, that was 80%.
So it's diminished exponentially.
The 80s, good times.
And I wonder what the cause is.
But I do think going back to what you just said is that this secular society just wants people to be selfish and indulgent.
And I think marriage is such a huge commitment.
And I don't think people are willing to give up their freedom, so to speak, to be a part of that beautiful union.
Yeah, I think you nailed it.
I think marriage is about a potential sacrifice.
Like it's a commitment, which takes sacrifice.
And also you're sacrificing yourself because you're becoming not an individual, you're becoming a unit.
And I think that to what you said, it's like people aren't interested in sacrifice.
They're interested in expediency and comfort and pleasure.
And marriage doesn't, like when you figure out, oh, it's more than a wedding day.
It's more than like, oh, picking your flowers and who's your bridesmaid.
It's like it's actually a long-term, lifelong commitment.
Hence why I have not made that yet.
But there are drawbacks to marriage which people aren't prepared for.
No, absolutely.
There's positives.
There are many positives.
That's what the article highlights.
I mean, first of all, from a societal standpoint, marriage, like it, like the structure that comes from a family feeds into the world and it feeds into society.
And when you have strong family units, you have a strong society.
First of all, there are other benefits as well.
Ideally, yeah.
Some of the other benefits that we've seen are it makes you less poor.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I was just recently talking with my friend and she was talking about how as a single person, her single income will never allow her to afford a home on her own.
You know, but when you're married, you have hopefully the option to be able to purchase a home and that's a great investment.
You can share your Netflix account.
Yeah, that's really nice.
Bank account, like if you're like, oh, I didn't, I'm not making that much money, but my husband's good.
I'm going to go shopping.
No, I'm just kidding.
I think there are probably like tax reasons too.
Yeah.
I don't know them off the top of my head, but I think they exist.
Yeah, I mean, I think so.
What are some of the other benefits now?
I think like, you know, knowing that you can come home to someone every day, I think just like being supported unconditionally, it's kind of nice, you know, because, you know, we have friends, we have work, but when those things get tough or when people become disloyal or, you know, like feelings are so fleeting in those relationships, I think it's nice to come home and have that solid place to land.
Yes.
You know?
And apparently, it makes men less likely to abuse you physically.
Marriage Benefits and Responsibilities00:02:46
Oh, really?
Why?
Oh, my goodness.
Why is that?
Well, I don't know, but I do also want to note that it also makes you less likely to cheat on your partner.
Why?
I don't know.
I think it's because when you're bound to someone, you kind of want to make it work.
And I think if you're being abusive or unfaithful, it's kind of like, well, I don't want to go home to my mad wife.
Like, or I don't want to live in a household where I'm treating this person like this and it's not nice for her or anyone.
would that same guy like abuse his girlfriend but once she becomes the wife it's like I know I We should kind of dive deeper into the psychology of that one day.
I'm thinking also maybe it's because the whole point of a wedding ceremony is to declare your love in front of God and in front of your family and friends.
And maybe that actually has a psychological impact on how people, like you said, like you're not going to go home and treat your wife that way.
Yeah, and I think that's true.
Maybe it's because you told everyone, I'm not going to do it, I'm not going to abuse her.
And then they're like, eh, you abused her.
And I'd argue, too, like, it's almost spiritual because the Bible in Genesis is really clear about how when you, man shall leave his father and become one with his wife.
So if you are one and you share a body spiritually, so to speak, you're not going to want to harm your own body.
You know what I mean?
I don't know.
I don't intuitive.
I'm not a theologian.
I'm not a psychologist, but maybe.
Yeah.
Could have fooled me.
We're just going to take a quick break here to tell you about our sponsor.

This next article that we want to discuss is 30 things that get better.
Sorry, 30 things better than being in a relationship.
Yeah.
And let's be honest, they're not really better.
Just out just out the gate.
Let's just give it away.
The disclaimer here is pretty much everything on this list you can do as a coupled person as well.
Vaccines And Instant Fixes00:14:48
Yeah.
So if we could pull those up, we're going to, okay, well, first of all, let's talk about this image here that we have.
They might be single, but they don't look good or happy.
That dress thing is hideous.
The worst thing about this is they're clothes.
Does being single mean you dress bad?
Yeah, like it means you have to wear a jumper from the 1980s and eat pizza like a monster.
Why are you eating a crust first?
Yeah, that's.
The point is, is you can still do that if you're married.
You can, I'm pretty sure.
You can do whatever you want when you're married.
Oh, yeah, I could eat my pizza like that and he'd be like, damn.
Really?
Wow, what a loving man he is.
I know.
You can do so many things.
Let's keep scrolling.
I think there's like a slideshow.
Is that it?
No, I think there's a slideshow.
There we go.
All right.
So number one, you can wink.
No, I'm just kidding.
Flirting.
Well, you can flirt with your spouse or partner.
Or dogs.
I flirt with dogs.
You can, like, anything is considered flirting these days anyway.
You say hi to someone on the street and they're like, she was flirting.
Yeah, she likes me.
It's like, no.
No, I'm just a friendly person not wearing a mask.
Yeah.
Okay, well, so.
Shameless flirting.
Debunked.
Yeah, debunked.
Okay, one of them was listen to Taylor Swift.
I literally make my husband do that all the time.
I'm like, you're in the car, you're locked in here.
Too bad.
Yes.
Okay, so here's number two: pizza.
I eat pizza with my husband.
Like, have you ever eaten pizza with a cup?
Like, with your boyfriend?
Never?
No.
Okay.
So maybe this one is accurate.
I'm starving.
So hungry all the time.
Yeah.
You know, we're going to move on from this because the website is janky.
You know what is good news, though?
What?
Really good news?
If you drink coffee three cups a day, you might actually live longer.
Oh my God.
So add this to the list, including red wine and now coffee.
Yeah.
Basically, I should never have gotten COVID.
I'm very confused why I got COVID.
Yeah.
So I guess you're 12% less likely to die early.
You know, I'll take those odds.
I will take those odds.
Oh, I thought this was about COVID.
No, it's your general life.
Death.
Who cares?
It's all about COVID.
It's going to impact my COVID, though.
You know what?
I have a feeling that it helps.
It must help because if COVID is this deadly, life-threatening disease, you're less likely to die when you have COVID.
Yeah, I'm thinking it includes all morbidities.
Yeah, this is amazing because I absolutely drink at least three cups of coffee a day.
I will say though, be careful because they don't recommend drinking more than three.
I'm not really sure why.
Oh, oh, that's too bad.
So maybe that's why you want COVID.
Yeah, it's like that fourth cop really throws me off.
I don't think I have more than three.
Three's a lot.
Three's a lot.
Like I am basically vibrating.
Yeah.
So anyway, so good news, guys.
Drink up, go to Starbucks, whatever.
Oh, but wait, there is a catch.
There is a catch.
It can't be instant.
It can't be instant.
You know, but nothing instant in life is really usually worth it.
And you know, instant coffee is not even instant.
You still have to boil the water.
There you go.
Instant?
Yeah, define instant.
Misinformation.
That's misinformation.
I think so, too.
It's been debunked.
According to us.
Okay, well, here's a fun one.
There is a new vaccine available.
Oh, that's not quite available yet, right?
It's in the testing it.
And it's not for what you think, guys.
What is it for, Net?
It's for morbidly obese people.
It's okay.
So apparently it's a miracle.
And a million morbidly obese adults may be able to get it once a week.
Once a week.
Like, you know what you could do once a week?
You could go to the gym.
You could go buy vegetables at your local market.
That takes a lot more effort, though.
Okay, that's true.
I'm just wondering when they're going to make everyone else take this vaccine to help obese people lose more weight because they can't lose weight unless I also get the vaccine.
You're onto something science.
But can we just spend like five seconds talking about the fact that vaccines are not supposed, they're like blanket solutions, band-aid solutions for these problems.
Like we need to focus more on like getting to the root of the health issue.
It's the same with COVID.
We saw no one talk about vitamin D, vitamin C.
It was just get the vaccine for your health.
Yeah, and this is for everyone.
Exactly.
Irregardless if you have cancer, if you're pregnant, if you have autoimmune disorders.
It doesn't matter.
Get the vaccine, you bigot.
And health is such, it's not one size fits all.
No.
Like, it's just not.
Everyone's body is different.
It's a peanut.
Exactly.
You know?
Yeah.
Weaklings.
Just kidding.
And you know, like, we're not against science.
We're not against like these developments in science.
But, you know, like maybe we should encourage morbidly obese people to take better care of their health.
Yeah.
It's not like polio where it's like this disease that affects your life and there's like nothing you could have done to prevent it and it's tragic and it'll affect you for the rest of your life and there's nothing you can do about it.
It's like that's a good, that's a good candidate for a vaccine.
But like obesity, like that's something you done do to yourself.
You did it to yourself.
You done did it to yourself.
You done did it to yourself.
And you know what?
Just focus on your health, guys.
Yeah.
Get to the root of the issue.
You should just have a heroin every week.
And that would probably keep you pretty thin too.
It's probably like the, I mean, big pharma's probably making as much off of all these vaccines as a as a heroin dealer would.
It might be heroin.
It might, well, you know what?
You heard it here first, folks.
It might be.
It just might be.
Alleged.
Allegedly.
But definitely.
Misinformation.
All right.
Debun.
Beautiful.
What is our next topic to talk about?
Well, this is sort of about COVID, but it's mostly about rewriting history.
This is some 1984 vibes for you.
We all know it's going to happen.
We all know it's going to happen.
The progressives are going to take the COVID-19 narrative.
They're going to change it so that they were never the bad guys, despite the fact that we know they've been the ones pushing the policies the whole time.
So this article is from Mises Institute, which is a super fun place to learn about economics if you're like me and know absolutely nothing about economics.
It also has culture, politics, pretty cool stuff.
Here's a quote from the article that I found interesting.
First, corporate media outlets and the communications departments of public health agencies may increasingly distance themselves from their own bad policies.
This has already begun.
They may attempt to cover their retreat by saying the science has changed or that the latest viral variant warrants a lighter government response.
We're already seeing this.
We're already seeing this.
So last week, Jen Saki blamed Trump for the COVID lockdowns, which is, you know, not inaccurate.
They did come into place when he was the president, but it's been a year.
It's been a year now since Biden's been president.
It's not like he dropped all federal mandates and rang in a new era of freedom.
So it's funny that she's like already walking it back, blaming Trump.
That's, you know, who, what's not his fault?
No.
Is my question.
Absolutely.
And I think it's also interesting.
Like when we look at Canada too, we have had liberal MPs now kind of backpedal and be like, oh no, we don't want to associate with Trudeau's rhetoric around the truckers and stuff because they don't want to go down with the ship.
You know?
And like, oh, like Jason Kenney and we need to take the masks off of children.
It's like, yeah, I'm glad it's happening and I'm not going to spit in the face of that.
But also like some people have been saying that the whole time and y'all have been silent on it.
And now all of a sudden it's like, oh, we need to think about the children.
Like we've been saying that the whole time.
Literally since probably almost day one.
Yeah.
And I think we will probably see the progressives be successful in rewriting history because they own all the institutions that influence culture, such as universities, the mainstream media, right?
Like they're all going to have that support from them.
They'll be like, no, COVID lockdowns were not a good idea, fact checkers say.
Yeah.
Blames Trump.
Like, oh, it's going to be fun.
You know, when your lefty prof is writing the textbook, he's going to write it to say exactly that.
It's the textbook that he insists you buy for his course.
$5 million.
Yeah.
It's all.
It's such a scam.
We should have been professors.
I know.
And like, this is so off-topic, but like in high school and university, like plagiarism.
Plagiarism.
All people could talk about was like, don't plagiarize.
Once you're in the real world, you can't plagiarize.
Like all people do is plagiarize.
Memes and quotes and articles.
I plagiarize this episode.
We took this from a totally different show.
This is a base in Japan.
Just kidding.
Don't fact check us.
But you see the same article rewritten like 99 times from all sorts of, and they use the same exact words.
Like the dangerous rise and anti-vax.
It's like, you guys are plagiarizing each other, but whatever.
That's a side note.
Plagiarism is cool.
Apparently it's very hip.
It's hip.
It's trendy.
We're so young and trendy.
I want to plagiarize now.
But one thing that is kind of positive about this, though, is that it does speak to the fact that progressives are going to try to change the narrative and kind of change history and rewrite it because they know that their ideas are crumbling and it's wrong.
And I think we can thank the Truckers Convoy for that because it's had such a, it's grown on like a global scale, right?
So I do think it is kind of exciting, but I think it's important for us to just remember what happened.
Don't forget what these people have done to you.
Don't forget.
Yes.
Like don't be like you're in an abusive relationship and he comes home with flowers one day and you're like, oh, I forgive you for everything.
It's like, we shouldn't forget.
We should not forget.
Hashtag never forget.
Forgive but forget.
Hashtag.
Yeah.
Forgive but don't forget.
Yeah.
It's like, don't forget.
Don't forget.
You're like a scorned woman, people.
Don't forget.
Okay.
Hell hath no fury.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
tick tock oh except for like oh are we not ready there Oh, no, we are.
Oh, we are there.
Oh, we're ready.
Oh, we're ready.
Like TikTok.
You know, keep your kids off of TikTok.
TikTok is the one.
And also keep your kids off teen vogue.
Scary place.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
But this is kind of a fruitful article, actually.
And I thought when I originally was combing through it, I thought it was going to be pro.
Like, it's good that TikTok is helping you self-diagnose your dissociative identity disorder.
But no, it actually is discouraging.
Oh, my God.
That's refreshing.
Very refreshing.
It is.
It is.
What dissociative personality disorder have you diagnosed yourself with?
Super bad, bitch.
No, just kidding.
I'm extremely arrogant.
You can see my halo.
We have narcissism.
Well, yes.
Well, there's that.
A touch, a touch.
A touch.
But that's because professionals have told us.
It's not because we saw a TikTok video that made us self-diagnosed.
Okay, let's get into this.
So I guess until recently, it was pretty rare for patients to come to psychologists and say, hey, I have this mental disorder, but now it's become normalized.
Like it's frequent, which I think is really scary.
So funny.
And your shrink is like, what?
Who diagnosed you?
No, no, TikTok.
This 16-year-old on TikTok told me.
Who's never met me?
Yeah.
He's yelling at me.
Exactly.
But so I guess multiple personality disorder is the more common term for this.
And apparently, a huge contributing factor to how you get diagnosed is a traumatic event, is usually how it kind of stems, what it stems from.
When you're 16 or 12 or 14, everything's traumatized.
Everything is traumatizing.
You remember middle school.
Yeah.
It was scary.
It was awful.
It was horrible.
I was stabbing at my middle school.
Well, there you go.
Traumatic event, but you know what?
Only one or two personalities, not 20.
Exactly.
I'm like, pretty much fine.
She's pretty much stabbed.
I'm glad to hear it.
But I just think like this whole normalization of mental health for young people, and it's like, as you kind of said, when you're young, you're developing, you're growing, you're figuring things out.
Life is hard.
You're confused.
Hormones are a raging.
Oh, boy.
You know, you're sad, you're mad.
You're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time, as Taylor Swift would say.
Yeah.
To quote Taylor.
You know, and it's true.
Like, you don't have a mental illness.
You're just a teenager.
It's like, well, sometimes I'm like super sad.
It's like, that's called being a female.
Yeah.
Having your period.
Yeah, I'm like, but sometimes things are like too much and I can't even.
No, but you know, and like life is tough.
And I think it's not about like treating those things with mental health labels or, you know, or diagnosing them.
Because then you can just get a vaccine or a pill and you can just fix it.
And you can't fix it because you cannot.
You know, and there's nothing against people who take drugs for their mental illnesses, but I do wonder if maybe it's become too normalized.
Yes, definitely.
The percentage of people that are taking them is going up increasingly, increasingly.
So it's like, are we all sicker or are we just more likely to diagnose?
Yeah, and maybe normalizing these things to an extent has made it a slippery slope where we were too accepting.
And it's like, well, maybe you're not mentally ill.
Maybe you just need a hobby or maybe you just need a lifestyle change.
Maybe your gut flora is messed up.
Like the way that you perceive your mind and how you're feeling actually starts in your gut.
So if your stomach is out of sync and we have like, you know, your microbiome is made out of billions of different kinds of bacteria.
If you have like less bacteria or like lower diversity, you can actually experience more depression, more anxiety, even more like manic episodes.
So people might just be like hungry, you know?
And it makes sense because health is a holistic thing, right?
Your physical and mental health are in tune with each other.
And I think going back to what you were saying about the diagnosing thing, like even my husband, he, when he was younger, his teachers were like, oh, you have ADHD.
And they told his parents you need to get him on some pills.
And his parents were like, excuse me?
Like, no.
He's just a boy.
He's just a little boy who like needs a hobby.
And now when he does something he really enjoys, he can focus laser on.
Well, he made our intro song.
Yeah, he did.
It's so good.
Go back to the beginning of the episode.
Yeah, don't listen to this anymore.
Get back to it.
I had the same thing when I was in kindergarten.
My teacher, or grade one, my teacher said to my parents who are divorced, and they were aligned on this.
They were like, oh, she has ADHD.
She needs this and that.
And they're like, no, she's just a creative little kid who doesn't like math.
Who has energy.
Yeah.
You know?
And I just think, I hope when your kid comes to you and they're like, oh, I'm suffering from this or I'm feeling this, that you don't rely on one diagnosis.
I think it's important to play the field, so to speak.
Well, it's also important, on the other hand, if a kid is actually suffering, to recognize that and take them to see a professional.
Like I have, again, in my family, someone is severely mentally ill.
And without that, like this person started getting diagnosed when they were a child and their diagnosis has changed over years.
But it's like without that, like they might never have made it through school.
They might have ended up homeless.
Like it's a severe mental illness.
So it's like, you know, let's not use up all the scripts on the people who are just like eating too many cheesecakes and having like normal teenage anxiety.
And like let's save it for the people who actually have mental, like serious mental illness.
Yeah, that's a great point.
I think as with anything, it's about a balance in how we approach diagnosing people and how we approach treating people.
Erasing Achievements?00:06:59
It's a very bigoted opinion you have there.
Balance.
No, it's a one-size-fits-all.
Everyone's sick and we can all get vaccinated for it.
Moving on.
Biguettes.
Baguettes.
Yeah, we should talk about maybe being a woman.
I love talking about being a woman.
Really?
Because I am one.
But am I allowed to say that?
No, I was just going to say, canceled.
Sorry. You're not allowed to say you love being one.
You're not allowed to say you're proud to be a woman.
You're probably not even allowed to say, I am a woman.
Hear me roar.
No, I'm a woman.
What is that?
It's just a, it's just a, what do they call it?
What do they call gender?
I don't know.
It's a construct, yes.
I was wondering about that because it's like when you go to the zoo and you're like, there's a female penguin, there's a male penguin, and you're like, it's just a construct.
Like, no, like, some things are not a construct.
Some things are binary.
What we're talking about specifically is last week, Adele at the Brit Awards outraged a bunch of people when she said she loved being a woman.
Yeah, and I guess for the awards, it's a gender-neutral category because they didn't want to offend the many they-thems in our society because there's so many they-them artists.
So it was only Demi Laval.
It was just didn't even have any music.
Yeah, she wasn't even nominated, but it was for her.
And so despite the odds, she beat out every gender.
So I would say that's an amazing feat, and she should be especially proud as a woman, you know?
And not to act like a lefty, but we know women have had to work very hard in certain industries to get to where they are.
She deserves to be proud.
Yes.
Facts.
And the funny thing about this is that at the actual event, people cheered her on.
We can watch the video from Ian Miles.
Well, it's not from him, but he tweeted it.
Our coworker, Ian Miles Chong, he posted the video, but in the video, you can see she says, I'm so proud to be a woman.
I love being a female artist.
And the crowd cheers for her.
Yay!
Woohoo!
And it wasn't until later that people went on Twitter and were like, no, no, no, you're offended.
That's offensive.
She's a TERF.
Like, what's a TERF?
Why is it?
It sounds horrible.
Okay, but what about, okay, let's go back to the TERF thing.
Yeah, let's talk about TERF, okay?
What is that?
So I actually don't know what it means.
It's like a, it's a trans exclusionary radical feminist.
Okay.
So what happens when, let's say, trans people become the norm?
Everyone's trans in society.
And you are a trans artist and you win this award and you say, I'm proud to be trans.
Is the mob going to eat you too?
Because it seems like a slippery slope.
It's like you're never safe.
No.
First they came after men.
Now they're coming after women.
Next it's going to be they thems.
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
It's just like how homosexuals are no longer in that protected category.
It's like gay people, lesbian people are almost being erased with the inclusion of so many new genders.
It's like maybe my little boy who likes to wear dresses isn't necessarily a man trapped in a woman's body or a woman trapped in a man's body.
Maybe he's just a gay boy.
Yeah.
What's wrong with that?
Maybe he just wants to be a feeder actor.
Yeah.
Maybe he's just metro or super into baking like or homosexual.
Like why do we have to take everything to the craziest, craziest like degree?
I think it's because, and you can correct me if you don't agree.
I think it's because these people are so miserable that they want to normalize this stuff because they want you to be miserable too.
Like, Demi Lovato is a perfect example.
She is not a happy person.
She's not.
No.
And I mean, we'll pray for her.
Yes.
Pray for her.
But like, she's like, oh, let's normalize, you know, being they, them, non-binary.
Let's normalize having sex with anyone you want.
And it's like, well, you don't look happy and you're doing those things.
And you're encouraging me as a vulnerable 16-year-old to think that's okay.
And it's not okay.
It's going to.
No, no, go, go.
I was just going to say, like, it kind of makes me think that they don't want anyone to feel sturdy on the ground.
Like, they want the landscape proverbial to be shifting all the time.
So no one's really safe.
No one can just walk around and be like, I'm a confident young woman.
It's like, no, no, no, no, that's offensive this week.
It's like, okay, next week I'm a confident birthing person.
It's like, ooh, but ooh, birthing?
Can you really use that word?
Yeah, where do you draw the line?
Yeah, exactly.
I think they just want everyone to feel very unstable and insecure like they do.
And I think that the whole TikTok mental health diagnosis even plays into that because it's like social media is so explosive and so expansive and we all have access to it.
And this is where we're getting these ideas from.
Social media is what's pushing these on us.
So it's interesting.
It is interesting.
Social media is kind of terrible.
Take your kids off social media.
Seriously.
Like my mom made me delete Instagram yesterday because I'm 16.
And you're going to be so much better off.
Yeah.
That's okay.
You can get it for the prom and then you can like close your prom picture.
Delete it again.
Delete it again.
So Adele is a bigot.
She is a turf.
Yeah.
So cancel her.
Yeah, she's canceled.
Canceled.
Don't respect all her wonderful achievements.
Speaking of erasing achievements, I mean, it's not really erasing achievements, but female figure skaters will no longer be referred to as ladies because that's offensive.
Yeah.
So I was a little shocked by this.
So when you go down and read the article, it says they're going to call them women instead because what?
That's the same freaking thing.
It's synonymous.
It's synonymous.
I know.
Apparently, the term ladies takes away their power and their athleticism and their sexuality is what the reasoning behind this is.
And I really think that we live in a clown world because that makes zero freaking sense.
No one knows anything.
They're just making these arbitrary calls like woman is okay this week, but ladies is offensive.
And we will see in next year or whatever, they'll say, oh, women's is erase.
They'll do the Brit Award thing where it's like best skater.
And is lady, though, a more feminine word to you?
Because, I mean, in general, figure skating is a very dainty sport.
They're like little gazelles flying through the air like butterflies.
With knives on their feet.
With knives on their feet.
But, you know, it's a very feminine sport, and that doesn't take away from their athleticism and their skill.
No, like gymnastics, that's a little bit of a feminine sport too, but they're the most ripped buff people.
Yeah, they are probably the strongest athletes in the Olympics.
Yeah.
The summer Olympics.
Yeah, arguably.
Arguably.
So, I mean, I don't really get how that word is offensive when it's very clearly a very feminine sport.
Just like you guys are, you guys need to just take a vacation.
Oh my God.
At this rate, every word will be canceled.
Yeah, I think we've canceled this show about 15 times already.
Yeah, this show is canceled.
We should just do it in silence next week.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Yes.
We'll just stare.
All right.
Here's something interesting about feminism.
Jennifer Say's Quit00:14:55
Yesterday, here's the article title.
Yesterday I was Levi's brand president.
I quit so I could be free.
So this is Jennifer Say.
She was the Levi's brand president.
And she quit her job because she felt like she couldn't speak out on COVID lockdowns and the effect that they were having on children specifically.
Like, that's her hill to die on, is kids in classrooms and learning.
And she has some good quotes here.
I'm going to read from the, what is this?
Where are we?
Right.
This article is, I know what it is.
It's the, you know.
Substack.
Sorry.
My God.
Okay.
So here's a quote from her.
Things changed when COVID hit.
Early on in the pandemic, I publicly questioned whether schools had to be shut down.
This didn't seem at all controversial to me.
I felt, and still do, that the draconian policies would cause the most harm to those least at risk and burden, and the burden would fall heaviest on the disadvantaged kids in public schools who need the safety and routine of school the most.
Yes.
Yes, some of us have been saying that.
It's so easy for rich people and elitists who have nannies.
Maybe you're not that rich, you don't have a nanny, but you have a house, you have a backyard, you have a basement, you have a room for mom and dad to go and do their work, and then you have kids in their own special area.
But what if you're socially economically disadvantaged and you live in an apartment, you have multiple brothers and sisters, maybe you have a single parent who doesn't work from home, they work in a service job, they work on the front line, so they are taking the bus away from their kids.
Like you have to now pay for a nanny, you have to have a tutor, you have to make sure that you have internet and laptops at home, which not everybody has.
We all, like, I have internet, but I'm not necessarily representative of everybody.
So it's like we're hurting poor kids the most with these lockdowns.
And in order to keep everything politically correct, this woman, Jennifer Say, was silenced by Levi's.
They said that Levi's told her, you know, when you speak, you speak on behalf of the company in relation to her personal Twitter account.
And Jennifer was like, this is my personal Twitter account.
I don't have that I work for Levi's on it.
Like these are my views as a woman, as a mother of four.
She also has two adopted black children.
Or maybe they're not adopted.
She said in her two black kids.
So, you know, huge racist, obviously.
Also important to note that she was the first female to ever be the global brand president.
The first woman.
And she's being silenced for caring for her children.
By a company who preaches about inclusivity literally all the time.
They are so woke.
Like they literally play the game with all of their vote shirts and their whatever BLM.
I'm sure they've dabbled in there too.
And it's funny because she actually is not a conservative.
No.
She's done activism for leftist-ish things before.
So I just, it's funny that you're just never safe from the mob.
You're never safe from wokeism.
If you want to protect women or children, you're now a crazy right-wing conspiracy theorist.
Yes.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
Seem like things that liberals should care about.
Yeah.
And yet you are blamed.
And she didn't get fired.
She resigned, but because she was being muzzled and she was like, I want to speak out.
I'm going to use my platform to help children.
Horrible woman.
What a terrible person.
She's a huge bigot.
And I actually never heard of her.
Me either.
I'm interested in who she is.
But it is kind of funny that these companies and people who work for these companies who like who claim to be so progressive and inclusive and they love liberty and freedom, they try to silence these people.
Like, how is that?
I don't think they love liberty or freedom, but they pretend to.
They claim to though, right?
And that's something that claim to love free speech.
Yes.
And be authentic.
You see that all the time in advertising and pop culture music.
Like, be authentically you.
Yeah.
Don't apologize.
But unless you offend the woke mob and then you have to apologize for everything.
You need to resign, need to change who you are.
Move, change your name.
Yes.
Get a wig.
Remember when J-Lo during the first BLM, it was when the term Black Lives Matter became very popular and she tweeted all lives matter and was dragged and she immediately deleted it and she obviously got out of that unscathed because she has a new rom-com coming out today.
Like she hosted or she was the talent at last year's super.
Well, she's been successful.
She's still one of the elites and she made that choice.
She had an opinion and she immediately walked it back and apologized for saying all lives matter.
Like that's such an offensive thing to say.
Well, it's there's so many signs on all these progressive lawns now that say like Asian children matter.
It's like that, I guess that means all lives do matter.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah, right?
Every child matters, but only if it's a black child, but also if it's an indigenous child.
Trans lives matter.
All of black matters.
But if you're unvaccinated, your life doesn't matter at all.
Right.
And you're a scum.
But it's the mob, man.
We should talk about the mob because we were talking about Joe Rogan last week.
He's going to get this off.
You have a hair on your eyeliner.
Thank you so much.
We care for each other.
That's my Valentine's game.
You're welcome.
You know, Joe Rogan apologized.
And of course, the word he said, though, context does matter, is not a word that we should use.
But he shouldn't have apologized because it's never going to be enough for these people.
You're never going to be progressive enough.
You're never going to be woken up.
You're never going to please them.
So stop.
Exactly.
They say, oh, you apologize?
Cool.
What else can we get out of you?
What else can we wring from your consumer?
Exactly.
What other old tweet can we find from 2003?
Twitter probably wasn't even around then.
Oh, it was.
Oh, really?
Oh, Twitter?
No, I don't know.
I've been on since 2011, so I'm a bet.
I'm a bad.
In the womb.
Crazy.
I wasn't even bombaring.
Oh, my God.
Thanks for reminding me.
I'm 16.
I keep slipping up and telling people I'm 30.
But I think.
Bigot.
No.
She's 16.
But it's funny, though, because, you know, these progressives who push these people to have these views, they end up pushing them over the line and they become conservatives.
Yeah.
Like, Jordan Peterson's a great example.
He recently tweeted about how the left is so crazy now that he basically has to be a conservative.
Yeah.
Because it's just, they're too radical.
Well, that's the thing.
If you're in the center and then the left moves so far left, you are pushed over to the right.
And then all of a sudden it's like, you're not just right.
You're extreme, right?
Yeah.
You're far right.
You know what?
My advice to progressives, keep doing what you're doing because we're getting more good people on our side.
Like, so true.
Like, be crazy.
Yeah.
Like, Gina Carano's, this kind of same thing happened to the Levi's woman.
Gina Carrano was on Star Wars and she said some things and they canceled her.
And now she's like, well, I guess I'm a hardcore right-wing extremist now working with Ben Shapiro on a movie.
You know what?
Be crazy.
Red pill them all.
We'll take them.
We want y'all.
Yeah, we do.
We are actually inclusive and loving, which is so weird.
You know who else is so cool and just like us?
Who?
Stars.
Stars.
They're just like us.
This article is so funny.
First of all, these are the same articles that were on every crappy pop culture magazine by the grocery store.
Like tiger beef.
Yeah, like this is not a new concept.
Okay, keep scrolling.
Thank you.
So go up a little bit.
Okay.
So the first example is they get pampered.
Wow.
Celebrities?
Getting pampered?
I mean, it's a relatable thing.
It's much, much too relatable.
I feel like they're in the room with me right now.
Like, when's the last time you were pampered?
I don't even know what that means.
Look at my cuticles.
Yeah.
Like, what does that sound disgusting?
Like, we can't.
We're not even allowed to get pampered in some places because we unjab.
So jail.
You know, anyway.
We're filth.
We're filth.
Let's see some other ones.
Yeah.
I just want to know just how they're so similar to us.
Okay, they change in the parking lot.
Okay, well, he's a man, so women can't do that.
What?
That's a bit bigoted.
That's a dude.
I can't.
He's taking off his shirt.
I know.
Men can do that, though.
You can basically take off your clothes wherever.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Who is this guy even?
Adam Brody?
Oh.
Who cares?
Okay, yeah.
I like him.
Who's this?
They eat food.
They eat Froyo, I'm guessing.
Is this Froyo?
What is it?
Let's see.
Let's see.
They eat treats.
Oh, wow.
Have you ever had a treat?
No.
Oh my God.
What?
No.
Oh, my gosh.
She.
They eat treats.
It would be funnier if they said they eat.
Yeah.
Like, do they, though?
Because I don't think they eat.
I don't think so.
They're getting some sort of gelatin injection.
We wear masks outside.
Is that definitely what it is?
They stock up on groceries.
Okay, she did that once.
What is that?
A giant bag of Epsom salts?
She's only done this once in her whole life.
Her cart is so empty.
She has someone else doing that for her.
What is this?
And who?
And what is she buying?
You know what?
If you weren't wearing a mask, we'd know who you are.
Oh, Nev Campbell.
Okay, Nav.
That's funny.
Who knew?
Who would have thought that they got groceries?
I know.
But they're so much like us.
I know.
I have no idea.
I had no idea how similar they were.
So relatable.
So relatable.
Who's this?
They exercise.
They walk on with their own feet.
They jump.
They sweat it out.
Yes.
They all have.
Obviously, they do.
Yeah.
That's the one thing we knew that they did.
Yeah.
That's literally all they do for themselves is work out.
I love how many mask pics there are.
What is this?
I know.
They carry keys.
They order their drink to go.
Oh, my God.
What is this article?
They're not going to get it to stay.
They're going to be swarmed by fans.
Maybe not her because no one cares who she is.
This is Ashley Simpson, I think.
Oh.
Like, no one really knows who you are, Ashley.
I'm sorry.
Especially in the mask.
But you know, most people, most celebrities, I can see you getting your coffee to go.
You don't want to be swarmed.
I'm thinking of stinkers.
No, I'm just kidding.
Prince Harry and Megan Markle's mansion is engulfed by foul smell.
I would just like to say, this is all I had in the notes.
Maybe it's their fault because they stink.
That's why their house stinks.
Because they stink.
I have nothing to add.
You have nothing to add?
No.
We're moving on?
Yep.
Okay, great.
I love that.
So stinky house, guys.
They stink.
Stinky people.
So speaking of stars being just like us, just like us.
Hayley Bieber allegedly starts her five-minute.
It's not.
We should just stop there full stop.
Five-minute makeup routine.
Okay.
Who believed that?
Okay.
She is naturally beautiful.
Yeah.
And very rich.
And has had plastic surgery.
But yeah.
But no, I don't believe it.
So she starts her five-minute makeup routine with this anti-aging serum that is probably not actually this.
Anti-aging.
No, yeah.
So is she talking about like her regular like hanging out on a yacht with Justin look?
Because maybe, maybe she's just doing like serum and sunscreen.
But like, is she talking about like that picture?
Yeah.
That's a five-minute, like, that's not a five-minute face.
Those brows took six minutes.
It's at least a five-million dollar face that she bought.
Yeah.
No, But it's annoying that celebrities always try to push these stupid products on us that we know they're not actually using.
They're like, you use this.
And we try it.
And then I end up looking like an ogre.
Yeah.
Like, doesn't she have a new skincare line?
It's like, it'll leave you looking like a glazed donut.
It's like, okay, I already look like that from the studio lights.
Like, give me something I can use.
It's the sweat.
Like, I want to know what she's using.
Yeah.
While she's creating her fake product that no one's, I mean, people will buy.
But she, like, what are you actually using?
Is it Le Mer?
Is that what you're using?
She's, she has a hookup.
Oh, my God.
Like, I feel like it must be like a celebrity underground, like, skincare line.
Yeah, they love their stem cells.
Yeah, they do.
They really do.
But, like, we, like, this sets such a bad example for women.
They're like, oh, you can look just like me.
And it's like, no, I can't.
I've been trying for 16 years.
Look at me.
Like, I don't look like you.
All I have access to is like actual affordable creams.
Like, I, I, like, I could, laser would be nice or, like, some.
I hear they have like sonar, like, sound technology that can, like, bounce your face right back to, like, baby state.
Like, there's so many things that we cannot afford.
No.
I'm surprised that we look so good.
I know.
It's not just the amazing lighting.
It's partially that.
It's partially 100% that.
But one day when we do get old, you know, it's going to be tough for us.
It's going to be hard.
We're going to get fired and replaced by a real 16-year-old.
But I mean, it just is such a bad example when you're scrolling through social media and you see these stars who are like, no, makeup selfie, or like, look at my skincare.
You can look just like me.
And it's like, I can't.
Like, comparison is the thief of joy, and that's what social media aims to do.
They want us to be miserable and they want us to be insecure.
And it's working.
And you celebrities, you have a platform.
You need to use it for good, not evil.
We will not look like you, Haley.
Not even close.
You know?
We'll look like ourselves, though.
Yeah.
And that's not so bad.
Could be worse.
Yeah.
Could be better.
I saw some ad that was like, I used one of the Jenners or one of the Kardashians.
I think it's the old one.
What's her name?
Chloe?
Chloe.
No.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney Kardashians like face laser thing.
Yeah, and it's like blue is for redness, red is for collagen.
And it's like, I love that kind of stuff.
I'm super into it.
But it's like, how much does that cost?
Yeah.
And Courtney Kardashian's probably wearing that like 24 hours a day.
She takes it off, takes a picture, natural look, puts it back on.
Like, I'm out here getting these free radicals on my face, like bus exhaust and like dust and stander and actual stress.
We live in a real world.
Like I can't just sit with a friggin' laser face on all day.
Yeah, and I bet any cheat version of that facial is gonna make us look like, you know, the man behind the mask or whatever.
We're not gonna want to take the mask off after we put it on.
Yeah, exactly.
Like it's gonna be don't buy that on like Kachini or Alibaba.
Just don't do it.
Stay with your dermatologists.
People.
Absolutely.
Oh, okay.
I think we're rounding things out here.
We're gonna round it out.
Final thing to talk about with you guys today.
Fun fashion.
Woohoo.
This is actual fun fashion.
I haven't looked at it.
Me either.
Okay, so this is the Copenhagen Fashion Week from fall, winter, 2022.
Wait, fall, winter?
Maybe it's fashion week 2022.
Oh, I thought it was fall, winter.
I was like, wait, no, I think you're right.
I think it's fashion week 2022.
So five trends that will be everywhere soon, according to Copenhagen Fashion Week.
They're obviously the leaders of fashion in the world, I would argue.
Everything they do trickles down here, and then we have to find block.
Yeah.
But I love scandy fashion.
I love scandy everything.
I want to live there.
If someone wants to sponsor me, call me.
I'm more like a New York kind of person myself.
You know, I love New York too.
Street style.
We'll do New York Fashion Week next time.
Copenhagen Fashion Week Trends00:02:20
We'll do that next time.
But anyway, let's look at some of the clothes.
Let's see.
A new way to hide.
I think this is like a minimalist.
I think hygiene.
Oh, look, is a Danish term for creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
Wow.
I was so wrong on that.
So what they look kind of, it's like teddy bear material, kind of a little bit like it looks like a couch.
Oh, I love all these like fanny packs.
Yeah, I'm loving the fanny packs.
I love that.
Yeah.
It's like a belt with like a little flapper on it.
If someone would like to send those to us, we will have a camel.
Yeah, I'm down with black.
But okay, that's not bad.
But it kind of, you remember our first episode when we talked about dystopian fashion?
That kind of gives me those vibes.
It's very muted, kind of like not flattering.
I know it looks comfy, but I don't know how I feel about it.
They're like, just be comfy.
It's fine.
You're going to be locked in your house for the next six years, anyways.
Like, you might as well just get a teddy and a fanny pack.
And I'm like, I'm here for it.
But it's like, no, we must remind ourselves.
Yeah.
Corsets all the time.
Yeah.
Just comfort.
And like we talked about the other week with like boat hair.
We want to take it to the next level.
We're not trying to get all cozy and sleepy.
No.
What else do we have on that list?
Yeah, let's see.
Forbidden fruit roll-up.
No.
Yeah.
I mean, the thing is, like, this only looks good on certain people.
Tall, really skinny ones.
Yeah, like you, you know, the like the stripe, the horizontal stripe, that's not good in anyone unless you're Kendall Jenner.
Oh, none of these look good to me.
I'm not loving it either.
I don't, you know, like a six-year-old me would be like, that's fun.
Yeah.
Stripes.
I can, my little brain can comprehend that, but no.
No, I agree.
No.
That's just not dystopian.
Oh, yeah.
We can vibe.
Oh my gosh.
Marie Antoinette.
Okay, so this is like this is us.
Yeah, Baroque and lots of dresses.
I love that pink dress.
I need that.
A little bit of like ornate lavishness.
Yes, a little bit.
It's gorgeous.
I've got to see that pink dress in the hair.
Yeah, no boats in the hair.
But we can work with that.
We can add it ourselves.
Yeah, we can add our own boats.
Okay, so there's hope for 2022 fashion.
That's funny.
You could be a little feminine, it sounds like.
Yeah, that's just a little bit.
Oh, no.
And we're going to go.
Why not wear a giant brown tent?
Well, here's why.
Because we're in this dystopian hellhole.
So we're going to need to wear where we live.
Why Not Look Like A Turd?00:01:13
Yes, exactly.
I think that's, you're trying to be proactive, I think.
Yeah, like, why not just look like a turd?
An actual turd.
Why not hide your female curves, your beautiful figure?
Just hide it under a blanket.
Starve and starve yourself to get put it under a tent or a sleeping bag.
Great.
That's brown for some reason.
Yeah.
That's lovely.
That's stunning.
Wow.
That was hideous.
That was the, I like the Marie Antoinette.
Me too.
