Nat and Kat critique Canada’s shifting stances on democracy, mocking convoy supporters’ sudden Ukraine solidarity while ignoring their own past actions, like Chrystia Freeland’s Emergencies Act push. They condemn trans athletes in women’s sports, citing Leah Thomas’s Ivy League win and a Team USA Masters star’s warnings about daughters losing opportunities. Helena’s detransition story highlights alleged gender ideology manipulation, with hosts blaming unchecked internet exposure and medical transitions for young people’s regret. Dating trends reveal societal pressures on women to conform to modesty or marriage timelines, while body image critiques target celebrities like Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson for unrealistic standards. The episode ties these threads into broader cultural hypocrisy, urging listeners to question performative activism and media-driven expectations. [Automatically generated summary]
Hello and welcome to Misunderstood, the show for the politically and culturally misunderstood lady or gent.
We're your host.
I'm Nat and I'm Kat.
And today we're going to be talking about a whole bunch of stuff, including the trans issue, dating, body image, and we always like to start with our patented culture shock moment.
Take it away, Nat.
Yeah, so as many of you know, Russia is invading Ukraine, but we are not going to be talking about the nitty-gritty details.
In fact, we're going to be kind of switching gears and talking about some of the reactions we've seen and whether or not they are justified.
Of course, we believe everyone's entitled to their opinion, but we kind of like to go with, you know, if you don't know enough about a topic, it's probably for the best not to speak about it.
Zip it.
Yeah, so, and, so for example, you know, we've seen the Truckers Convoy, the Freedom Convoy, has been passing through Canada, and we saw that resulted in the Emergencies Act being invoked by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
So, interesting to see a lot of the same people posting in support of Ukraine now said nothing during the Truckers Convoy.
Yes.
Maybe we should talk about how that's insane.
Well, the fact that Christia Freeland and Mayor of Toronto, John Torrey, were out marching in the streets in solidarity with the Ukrainian people, you know, cool.
Yeah, sure.
March for something that you believe in.
That's cool.
It's just like, hmm, remind me, how many weeks ago was it that Christia Freeland was on the TV talking about how she was going to freeze the bank accounts of anyone who was at the Freedom Convoy or who donated to it?
Seems a little hypocritical.
Yeah, and it's also interesting that Justin Trudeau has been tweeting about democracy and freedom, yet I guess he doesn't own a mirror or something because like we mentioned, he invoked the Emergencies Act, which basically gave the police dictatorship ownership over the Truckers Convoy.
Yes, so it seems like he's super pro-protest, pro-freedom, pro-democracy, but only for people who living in Eastern Europe.
Yeah, and why do you think so many people in Canada who were silent in the wake of the convoy are now speaking out about Ukraine?
You literally just said this before we started.
Sean Penn told them to.
Sean Penn.
Any actor.
I do whatever he tells me.
It's probably Sean Penn.
I don't know for a fact, but it's like any actor who is still in the A-list world is going to be talking about Ukraine and is going to be like, yeah, it's cool to be pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia.
Again, am I a war expert?
No, absolutely not.
I don't know a lot of the history from between Russia and the Ukrainian border.
I'm not going to pretend to.
Crimea, what's that?
I don't know.
But it's just interesting that what I do know is about the fight for freedom that we're living through in Canada right now.
Yeah, and it's just so important to care about your own freedom and your own democracy too.
Like, of course, we should care about Ukraine.
We should pray for Ukraine.
We should pray for Russia.
We should learn about it.
Yeah, we should.
We should learn about it.
For sure.
Like, our freedoms have been slipping away very, I'd argue even quickly over the last two years.
And it's just time for Canadians to wake the heck up.
I mean, we have a pastor in Alberta who's rotting in prison right now.
He's an innocent man.
And I haven't heard any churches really, you know, say anything in his defense but, you know, pray for Ukraine.
Well, that leads us to the next little article that we have here, which is, or it's not an article, it's just like tweets.
But see, these are some of the worst celebrity, or isn't it an article?
I think there's an article.
It's an article.
Yeah.
It's the worst celebrity tweets, the cringiest responses from celebrities on the Ukrainian crisis.
So let's take a peek-see at those.
I'm sure some of you have heard, saw that viral tweet from that actress from 90210.
Yeah, like I don't know who this lady is, but she's like writing a poem.
Yeah, she like wrote a poem and it was just so cringe.
If I was your mother, I would have loved you so much in this whole crisis in Ukraine.
That would never have happened.
Like, I don't know.
I mean, of course, you know, I'm sure her heart's in the right place, but it's like, is she going to go back in time and write that poem for Genghis Khan?
Like, hello.
Anyway, moral of the story is don't listen to celebrities about anything.
Unless it's us.
Unless it's us.
And we're celebrities.
You know, you don't need to post about something you don't know anything about, you know?
Like, you don't know about it.
Just whatever.
Just like sit back and let the world burn.
Wait till next week and everyone's posting yellow and blue squares on their IGs.
Oh, that's probably going to happen.
It's okay to not do it if you don't know enough about the topic.
At least, though, the war has ended COVID.
Yay!
So great.
COVID's over, you guys.
But you know, our next topic is a little bit unpleasant as well.
So there's a war happening in Ukraine.
Nice.
But also, trans athletes, biological males are encroaching on women's sports.
We talk about this a lot.
We're very passionate about this.
Let's talk about our first story.
Because we're TERFs, you know?
We're TERFs.
We're trans radical exclusionary feminists, right?
Did I get it right?
You know what?
Trans.
I think I got it right.
You got it.
And I think J.K. Rowling would be proud.
Yeah, even though none of those words describe me.
No.
But here we go.
Here we go.
So trans swimmer Leah Thomas, formerly 462nd rank as William Thomas.
I like how she just took the Leah out of her name, William.
Anyways.
That's clever.
Yeah, it is.
She takes the gold in Ivy League Women's Championships by a full seven seconds.
So I don't know a lot about swimming, but I know that seven seconds is a lot.
Like in seven seconds, you can basically get there and back.
Yeah, like think of like basketball when it's down to the wire and then there's one second left and then they shoot their shot and then that's the shot that wins them the game.
Like time is so like important in-so is muscle mass.
Yeah.
Oh and bone dance.
Ooh.
And arm reach.
Yeah, and there is a clip of this.
I think we should play it because it's just showing her lead, her, his lead on the other women.
It is literally insane.
Like there's basically the tweet says something along the lines of like this, this was a race for second place.
Yeah.
Because the other women had no shot.
Yeah.
But this is fine, guys.
We should accept this.
We should completely be okay with men just destroying women's careers and sports.
Yeah, it's good.
We love it.
What I don't love though is the next article.
Are we going to watch this?
Yeah, we should watch it.
Let's watch it.
Let's play a second of it.
So see how you can't even see the other women.
So I see a swimmer in a pool followed by a couple other guppies following suit.
Yeah.
And who are these people cheering for?
Are they cheering for the people in seventh and eighth?
I hope so.
I certainly hope so.
This looks like a really short pool, does it not?
Yeah, or that's just a really big long man.
But I don't know.
Well, this individual is a really good swimmer.
Look at those shoulders.
The shoulders of a dainty woman.
That's for danger.
I hope I can have shoulders like that one day.
Maybe soon, soon.
So yeah, this is great.
It's great.
It's a win for women.
It's a win for, well, it leads into our next, um, sorry, I cut you off.
No, go.
It's a win for women, and it's a women's.
Win for nothing.
You're good.
All right.
So this article is sad.
It's on the same topic, but the headline here is, this will be the end of women's sport.
Team USA Math, sorry, Team USA Masters Trackstar warns it's pointless for her athlete daughter to follow in her footsteps because biological males are taking over.
Can we talk about how sad that is?
That is so sad.
That's exactly the kind of thing that transphobes have been saying was going to happen.
And they're like, no, it won't.
No, it won't.
And it's happened.
So this young girl is like, why am I going to follow in my mother's footsteps when all of my accomplishments are just going to get demolished by a wide, broad, big-handed man?
Yeah, so I guess this daughter is on the track team and she was going to her first meet and she ended up competing against a biological male who has not worked as hard as her physically, emotionally, or mentally to prepare for this race.
He's new to the sport.
He's new to the sport, yeah.
And he just got to go on in there and beat her because he identifies as a female now.
So it's interesting.
And I was talking about this before, but you know, you never see women trying to become men and encroach on these spaces.
It's always these like men coming in because they know they'll beat us.
They know they'll win.
Well, it's possible that there are women who are like trans men who are competing in sports, but they're doing very poorly.
Yeah, exactly.
We just never hear about them.
Yeah, because they suck in comparison to their biological counterparts.
It's just, it's just insane that this is actually becoming like so much more common than it should be.
Yeah.
You know, and I just, we should never stop talking about this.
No, we won't.
And we won't.
Yeah, exactly.
Because I would rather be labeled a bigot than to see young women suffer for like someone's got to say it.
Someone's got to say it, and it will be us.
And you know, this reminds me of, there was another story that I didn't think we put on the list, but it was about women's soccer players and how they're not making as much money as their male counterparts.
And the common thing there is like, well, they don't have the viewership.
Yeah.
Like usually this is based on like ad revenue and ticket sales.
And like if people aren't watching women play sports, then no one's going to pay them to do it.
And it makes me think like, is this just the market, like the free market running its course where it's like, so men are going to become female athletes and then we're just going to be watching, like again, we're not watching male sports, sorry, female sports, but we're going to be watching men dressed up as women doing male sports.
Like is that where the market is leading us literally?
Like men in wigs playing basketball?
I don't know.
Maybe that's what the people want to see.
You know what?
I really hope that's not the case.
Welcome to the freak show.
That's not cute.
Like I'm down to watch like all those hot athlete male athletes.
No, but they're going to be women.
But I don't want to see them in wigs.
Like that's not cute, LeBron.
Yeah.
But I mean, you know, and why do you, but why do you think this is happening?
Like, do you think this is the feminist fault?
Do you think this is women's fault?
Or do you think this is a result of weak men not standing up for women?
Because I was listening to Allie Bestucci show Relatable and she said that if men can't stand up to women, they can't stand up for them.
And that kind of notion has sort of come because of the feminist movement.
Women have become kind of big, like more emboldened and empowered, I guess, in our society.
And I guess there's like this kind of trope of like the bully female and stuff like that.
Like women are bitches.
Men are their whatever, you know, like they submit to the woman now.
But you'd think that it would make us come out on top.
And here we are getting slammed in sports.
And like we've discussed this in our first episode when Caitlin Jenner won Woman of the Year, her first woman, her first year being a woman.
What?
If we were in charge of this whole situation and we were smacking men around, wouldn't it work in our favor more?
Yeah, no, but I'm wondering if it's the problem is men aren't standing up for us though.
And I wonder.
Well, I wonder if, do you think it's their job too, or do you think we've just dug ourselves too deep in this hole?
This is a good question.
And I don't know the answer.
I think it's men who are masquerading as women who are pretending to be feminists and they're like, I am woman, hear me roar.
And it's like, but you're a man, though.
And so they're playing both sides of the aisle there.
Yeah, that's a good point.
That's a really good point.
Because I'm just, my first inkling is to just never trust a man who is wearing a shirt that says feminist on it or has his pronouns in his bio because if you need to show me you're a man by listing it in your bio, you probably aren't a woman.
Or if you need to show me on a t-shirt that like, hey, I don't hate women.
Like, why don't you need, why do you feel the need to write that on your shirts?
Yeah.
Most people, most men just don't hate women, and they don't have to tell us.
It's like red delicious apples.
Like, are you?
Are you delicious?
No.
No, you're stinky.
You're rotten.
This is great.
Yeah.
So this is not a fun one.
No.
At all.
No, it's actually disgusting.
Yeah.
But of course, just speaks to how too, this whole movement has just gone too far.
Yes.
It's just gone too far.
So this is a convicted, I don't even want to say the words.
Okay.
Convicted toddler rapist is now a trans rights activist who has spoken at top-ranked universities.
So this article is disgusting.
That's what I wrote.
I said, this is disgusting.
I said, this is too disturbing.
Yes, this is, and hence we are going to talk about it.
Yeah, and I think like we want to protect women and we want to keep female spaces female, but like even more than that, I want to protect children.
Yeah.
Like, you know, like this, like you should not be allowed out of prison ever if you've ever touched a child inappropriately.
Ever.
So this person was convicted of raping a girl while he was on trial.
He was awaiting trial.
He started identifying as a woman and he was talking to, he, so as soon as he was convicted, he went to prison in a male prison and he started saying, I'm a woman, I'm a woman.
And he wanted to have his gender dysphoria diagnosis certified or whatever.
Confirmed, and they never did because the therapist at the prison was like, I don't buy this.
So.
That's nice.
Yada, yada, yada.
Now he's a trans activist speaking at top-ranked universities for some reason because we know these places are liberal hellholes and they're welcoming in, like, again, these are not children.
It's not like, oh, he's speaking at a school.
Like, okay, these are adults, so he's probably not interested in them.
But how can you call yourself an activist?
And I'm not talking about him.
I'm talking about those who are enabling this behavior.
How can you call yourself an activist and care about social justice and then think that this is okay?
Like, I don't understand how anyone could find this to be acceptable.
What is wrong?
The whole thing where it's like, okay, I'm such a feminist now that I'm actually anti-woman, anti-child.
And if I am faced with that choice, I don't want to be a bigot, so I'm just going to be like, yeah, let's just go with what everyone else is saying.
But it's like, have you stopped to think about what you're doing?
Because you're now saying that women are not allowed to have spaces just for them.
That men with genitalia, male genitalia, should be allowed in those spaces and be like, raping a kid is like NBD.
Yeah.
And you have so much to teach us.
Like, what do you have to teach us?
No, and I think the trans lobby is anti-woman.
Yes.
I think a thousand percent.
I think with sports, Tumblr, like you said, children, like this movement is anti-feminist and anti-woman.
It's so progressive.
It's regressive.
It's so backwards.
Yeah, and I think it's homophobic too.
I've said this before.
Where it's like, what if your kid is just gay?
No, they're definitely born in the wrong body and need to be medicated and medically altered in so many different ways.
But what if they're just like different?
What if they're not even gay?
What if they're just like I was a girl who played sports?
Parents Need More Involvement00:03:17
I had super short hair played sports.
Like does that, am I a boy?
You don't look like a boy.
No, boy.
You don't act like a boy.
But I just think that a lot of this too has become so normalized because we've seen so many.
There was that other article that we were, I think, are we going to talk about this about the woman who detransitioned?
Yes.
Helena.
So this is a sub-sack that you had found.
And it's a very long story.
It seems so long.
You guys should go read it.
It's really good.
It's very powerful.
But the whole time I was reading it, it's basically just a summary of her experience.
She found Tumblr, as most young teenagers do.
Do not let your kids go on Tamblin.
Yeah, before there was TikTok.
There was Tumblr.
And she tumbled down the wrong rabbit hole.
Quite literally.
And she was suffering with depression and anxiety.
Normal teenage stuff.
Yeah, and I mean, she was self-harming and stuff.
And that was one of the ways she was kind of coping, but she found comfort in this Tumblr community.
And then eventually it was kind of more about like gender ideology and critical race theory before that was really coined as a term and all this stuff.
And basically, this group kind of teaches cisgender white women that they are like the oppressor.
Yes, yeah.
Right?
So she started to feel like, oh, well, I guess I don't have enough oppression Olympics around any point, so I'm going to be trans.
That's what I took away from the article was less that she was like, oh, I'm a man trapped in a woman's body, and more so like, I love my Tumblr community.
She was extremely isolated at school.
She was isolated from her family.
She said her family didn't cope with like communication and pain, pain well.
So that's a problem.
And so she found this Tumblr community and she felt like, oh, I have my people.
She said she would Skype with her friends on Tumblr from all over the world.
And she had her community.
And then she realized, like, oh no, I'm the top oppressor in this hierarchy.
And so the easiest way to not no longer be an oppressor and be an not just an ally, to mutilate your body.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is to start being trans and to say that you were born in the wrong body.
And she said, as soon as that happened, she was now praised as a hero and a victim at the same time.
And heroism and victimhood are basically the same thing these days.
So it's not good.
It's scary.
And I think it just speaks to the fact that parents need to be so much more involved in their kids' lives when it comes to the things they are exposing themselves to on the internet.
Like what if, like, what if she had never had the common sense eventually to detransition?
What if, like, this is this moody, you're mutilating your body forever.
And sometimes you go too far, you can't go back.
And I just, I just think this is scary.
This is scary.
And the fact that she said she was 18 and she went for a single consultation with a doctor and she was prescribed testosterone.
Yeah.
And she said immediately upon going on testosterone, her mental health deteriorated very quickly.
That's terrifying.
And what about the ethics of all this?
Like, we don't know, there aren't really long-term studies about this.
And how is it ethical or justifiable to literally mutilate perfect young bodies?
Like, you know, like you were, this, she was healthy, she was young.
I know she didn't go as far as other people do, but like, man, these people are, these kids are going to look back one day, and if they regret it, who do they blame?
Yeah.
The people that were supposed to look out for them, the adults, the doctors, the psychologists, you know, like it's insane.
Even?
Yeah.
The community, the Tumblr community.
But yeah, it's like too many fractured people to blame.
Again, I would blame the parents.
Ethical Concerns in Transitions00:02:53
Me too.
First and foremost.
I agree.
In the first paragraph, she was like, My parents didn't communicate or deal with pain.
They just kind of pushed it away.
So it's like, that's your problem right there.
Yeah.
And parents, look out.
Look into what your kids are doing on the internet, okay?
Because this could be like life-ruining.
Yeah.
Could be life-ruining.
Yeah, absolutely.
Definitely read her full story because it is very powerful.
And I think it's surprising just how many people have suffered and dealt with the same things as her.
And it resulted in them transitioning and then detransitioning.
I just want to read this one little quote from this article.
She says, No hardship you could possibly go through could ever be as bad as the prejudice and genocide POC and LGBT people face every day.
Single, sorry, every single day.
Insert clap emoji.
LGBT people, P, L G T.
It's an alphabet.
The alphabet.
Black people and POC can't even walk out of their houses without being murdered by cishet.
I don't know what cis het is.
Cis het white people just like you.
I butchered that.
That's probably us.
You get it.
The point is, she was like, so I'm basically a murderer as a cis white woman.
So I'm going to become trans so that I'm a victim and a hero and I'm beloved by all.
I thought to be classified as a murderer, you had to actually physically murder someone.
No, wrong.
Okay.
You just have to be you.
You just have to be you, girl.
That's what we're teaching kids.
That's great.
Well, that's great.
Okay.
Let's move on from that.
Let's do an ad break.
Bitcoin 2022 is the largest Bitcoin event in the world that takes place on April 6th to 9th in Miami Beach, Florida.

Okay.
Okay, that was an ad break.
So maybe we should lighten things up with some dating advice.
Yeah.
I think that would be fun.
This is such a fun article.
Oh my God.
Okay, there's please.
What were you going to say?
Because I want to start talking.
No, go for it.
Okay, do the damn thing.
So this article says, want to impress your Tinder profile.
Sorry.
Being Intentional With Relationships00:07:14
Yeah.
Want to impress your Tinder profile?
Does that make sense?
No, it doesn't make sense.
Want to improve your Tinder profile, maybe.
Daily Mail.
Don't use sexy photos.
People with saucy images are more likely to be seen as incompetent and unlikable.
Study reveals.
First of all, this is so funny.
It says, In the study, the researchers set out to understand whether the photos people include in their dating profiles affect other people's perception of them.
Duh.
Of course they do.
They had to have a study.
Also, it's like a visual medium.
Like it's literally based.
Do you think most people go through and scroll and read any of the crap you write about yourself?
No, I just see your abs.
It's like study reveals that what people say on podcasts can affect how people perceive those podcasts.
I mean, but to their point, it does kind of make sense.
Like, modest is hottest.
Like, it's nice to have a little mystery, you know, keep them guessing.
Like, you know, wear your colored shirt, you know?
Leave them wanting some more.
No.
But, you know, like, if all you, if all you have is your physical appearance and you put it out there for the whole world to see, like, what else do you have to offer?
Like, I want to see a little more personality in your profile, I guess.
Yes.
You know?
Also, oh, this is going to be good.
This is going to be good.
So it's a quote from the article.
Sexualized photos were classified as ones where people posed in revealing clothing or lingerie.
Oh, okay.
Made suggestive poses or exposed their breasts.
Oh, okay.
That's gross.
Genitals or buttocks.
Sorry, I looked at genitals.
Yeah.
What are you putting your genitals in your profile picture for?
If you are doing that, like you suck unsolicited.
That is not nice.
That is harassment.
Keep your junk out of your profile.
Like, you know what?
It's a junky app already.
We don't need more junk.
Like, they had to have a study.
The study revealed that don't put your penis in your profile picture.
Yeah, and you know, speaking of a woman who probably posted sexy photos too much.
No, I'm just kidding.
I don't actually know about her profile habits, but let's show you a clip of a 30-year-old who is extremely sad that she's single and 30.
Yeah, this made me sad.
It was sad.
I might be, you know.
No, you're fine.
You're 16.
Sad episode.
This is a bummer of an episode, you guys.
We'll just play a clip if we could.
Let's play this.
I just had like the craziest, saddest thought.
This is a conversation I would have been talking about.
I'm in the stage of life where I'm having a conversation with my dog if I weren't married.
Have babies.
Something we all think.
Five loves.
And I had another talking page.
Yet again, fall through.
And my friend was like, you know, you'll meet the one when they don't give up.
But now I'm at a point where I hope I don't because what happens if I meet him and he wants kids?
And I'm too old to have a game.
Oh, that's so sad, dude.
So it's easier for me to do that.
She kind of just says the same stuff.
Yeah.
This is really sad.
Yeah, I think before, like, I think it's important to note, though, that marriage and having kids is not a guarantee in life.
Like, you're not promised that.
That's a privilege, not a right.
So I don't think it's right all the time to put so much pressure on yourself when it comes to getting married and having kids because you just don't know where life's going to take you sometimes.
Like I said, it's a blessing.
And, of course, marriage comes with its own setbacks.
And, like, half of them end up divorced.
Yeah, well, that's the thing.
So it's like you can be part of those lucky people that get married and then end up an unlucky one divorced.
So it's like, is that better?
Yeah.
And I think it just speaks to like being intentional.
Intention intentional.
And being intentional with your dating habits and your relationships.
And I think that's kind of the issue we're seeing with a lot of these women who are single and they're wondering why.
We've said this before and we'll say it again.
It's the culture.
It's the culture that we live in where for the last 10 years, people have probably been telling this gorgeous woman, like, oh, don't worry, like party, sleep with whoever you want.
Like you'll have plenty of time.
And then once you hit your 30s, people are like, oh, you're not married yet.
And it's like, whoa, you guys were telling me to just have fun and play the game and don't worry about it.
But now I'm very worried about it.
And it's like, yeah, you should have been freaking worried about it this whole time if you really, really wanted kids.
And women don't, they suffered much worse consequences than men.
Men can have, live their life as Peter Pan forever, just like doing it with whoever because they don't have a biological clock that women have.
And I just, I think it's, it's scary that our society has glorified singleness in a way that has just left people really lonely and I think empty.
Yeah.
Because no, keep going.
Well, I was going to say, like you said, they glorify singlehood.
But then does she seem glorious to you?
No, she seems like miserable.
Yeah, exactly.
Like this is, again, like I said, like this is a conversation I would have had with my mom, not put it on TikTok.
But she says at the end of the video, the reason she's posting it is because she wanted to reach out and see if like other women were experiencing the same thing.
And then she does do a follow-up and she was like, I did not expect so many responses.
And she's like, that made me so happy.
And it's like, I'm happy that she feels elite or like, what's the word I'm looking for?
Like a sense of community.
Yeah, like she feels justified in how she's feeling and not alone.
However, speaks to the culture we're living in.
That so many women are like, oh, I'm in my 30s too.
And I'm like, I'm kind of in the same position myself.
And I'm trying not to be terrified.
Like, don't be terrified.
You're a good girl.
Oh, yeah, I'll be fine.
But it's just like we live in this culture where we're like, do whatever you want, live your life.
And then you're like, ooh, you're not married?
Ooh.
It's like, what am I supposed to feel as a woman?
Yeah, everything has consequences.
Every single moment of our lives is a moment of impact.
And even if you don't notice that impact right away, like down the line, you're going to be like, it's going to hit you in the face and you're going to be like, damn, like, I should have.
Maybe I should have, you know, not just followed my heart.
Or maybe you should have like taken that nice guy more seriously when you were young and you wanted to shit.
You wanted the bad boy.
Like we all know, we've all been in that phase, but I feel like that phase is extended for women and it's like, oh, just date that hot bad boy who has no job.
It's like, but you want babies.
Maybe a more responsible mate is better.
And like maybe that's like to what we were talking about before with your profile.
Like maybe you taking pictures in your bikini, drinking sangria on the beach is like not going to find you that like honorable man you're looking for.
It's going to find you a bad boy who thinks you're easy.
And I think it's a part of it too is like our culture is so obsessed with like temporary satisfaction.
We don't want to have hard, meaningful conversations.
We just want to have sex right now with everybody because it feels good right now.
But most people I know who live out their lives like that, they are not happy.
They are really miserable.
They don't know who they are.
They keep wondering why they're single.
Yeah, well, like this poor woman who's beautiful.
Like, she seems like she can put a sentence together.
She seems smart.
She has access to the internet.
She knows how to use TikTok and she's living in the first world.
She's having a good time.
And yet she's so sad and she feels lost and like she doesn't know how to live in this world.
And it's like kind of everyone's fault.
Yeah.
Not ours.
No, we're perfect.
But you know, just interesting that the feminist movement is kind of, this has stemmed from the feminist movement as well.
So it's just, I'm wondering, you know, maybe feminism was a trap in a way.
Why Beauty Isn't Enough00:03:34
We could rename the show feminism?
I mean, is it good?
I don't know.
Probably.
You know?
I mean, yeah, like obviously suffragettes.
Yes, for sure.
Like, you know, being able to vote snipe.
Yeah, like not being owned by a man.
Yeah, it's not the worst.
No, that's great.
I love all that.
But we've taken it a bit far, ladies.
It's gone too far.
Yeah.
It's, yeah.
I said this.
Remember that.
I was like, I'm going to free the nip movement.
It failed miserably.
We should never free the nip.
Put those nips back, ladies.
Put them back and date the nerd, okay?
Definitely.
Speaking of nerds, just kidding, he's not a nerd, but Channing Tatum.
Guys, we're going to talk about body image a bit here.
Channing Tatum says achieving his ripped physique for Magic Mike is hard and not natural.
You have to starve yourself.
Oh my gosh, he had to eat challenge.
I'm sorry that the rich actor had to stop eating chips to earn a million dollars to take off his clothes in a movie.
Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry he had to drink eight glasses of water and do shit up all day while his friends were out drinking and eating nachos.
You know, it's interesting that these celebrities only ever care about how they feel, but what about the image they project on the rest of us?
Like, okay, Channing Tatum, you starved yourself for a million dollars.
I starve myself, I get nothing, and no one notices.
So, like, who the hell are you, dude?
Like, I don't feel sorry for you because celebrities are the problem here.
They've set these standards, and now we have to try to live up to them.
And I, like I said, I don't get paid to do it.
Like, I just have to be hungry.
In the article, he was saying how he couldn't imagine staying fit if he had a nine-to-five.
He's like, I have, this is my full-time job, and I can't even do it.
And we're like, yeah, like, exactly.
Yep.
And yet, we still project those images on everyone.
Yeah.
Like you're doing with the movie.
Again, what's wrong with having abs?
Like, no.
I'm not like, oh, no one should have abs because it produces like an unrealistic body image.
That's not what I'm saying.
But for him to be like, here's my Magic Mic abs.
And he's like, oh, it's too hard.
It's like, yeah.
I mean, I guess it's a good thing that he's saying it, but it's just like, yeah, welcome to my life, Channing.
Yeah, and I just think like you get paid to starve yourself.
You really don't care.
Yeah, just shut up and dance.
But you know, like, if you really had strong convictions about it, then you wouldn't have done the movie.
You wouldn't have done the movie.
Yeah.
And he's doing the Magic Mic 3 also see in theaters.
Yeah.
Wait, I'm not going.
No.
Maybe.
I'll look at the screenies.
Maybe we'll go.
We won't tell you.
We'll go, but we'll wear sunglasses and fix mustaches so nobody knows that we're there.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's just like Crimea River, Channing.
Yeah.
But on other celebrities.
Yeah, body image.
Body image, interesting.
Emmy Rossum.
Is that how you say her name?
I think so.
So she's only 10.
She'll come out in 10 years and say we're all saying it wrong.
Oh, yeah, like no longer relevant.
Loan.
Loan.
Loan, Lindsay Lohan.
Lindsay, just shut up.
But Emmy Rossum is only 10 years older than Tom Holland and has been cast to play his mom in a movie.
So I guess apparently she's going to be playing the mom in the flashback.
Yeah, so it's a clickbait article.
But it is interesting because it got me thinking about men like Leonardo DiCaprio who play these puffy alcoholic dudes in movies.
They're intimidating 20-year-olds.
Exactly.
But also, like Margo Robbie in The Wolf of Wall Street was his like his wife.
And I'm like, you are not on the same plane.
No, he should be playing her father.
Yeah, like she's Barbie.
So I just, I do think it's kind of interesting to talk about this because men are allowed to be one thing, but women have to be like way better and way more, you know?
And there's just, there is a double standard.
Yeah, you basically have to look, and we'll talk about this because we're going to talk about Courtney Cox and a little Botox.
But you basically have to be like super hot and look 18 until you're old enough to play a grandma or a mom.
Why Models Struggle With Healthy Image Perception00:03:30
It's like, where are those mid-age women allowed to live in their lives?
They're not.
They live at their plastic surgeon's office.
That's where they are.
That's all they do.
Faces are so messed up.
Yeah, they're just in hiding for a few years and then they're like, hello.
Remember me?
Not that men are, you know, free from this pressure because when I was reading this article earlier, I saw that Bradley Cooper at the SAG Awards or one of the award shows that happened on the weekend, he showed up with like a super smoothed out puffy face.
And it's like, someone maybe had a little work done.
I mean, they're not looking so good.
So they have this.
There's pressure.
There's, you know, there's pressure too.
It's a human problem.
And argue less pressure.
Yes, I would definitely agree with that.
Yeah.
But speaking of someone who doesn't cave to the pressure, size 20 model slams hater to criticize her son's diet and doesn't care if he gets fat.
Well, that seems like a good mom.
So this model is, what's her name?
Tessa?
Tessa holiday.
Tess holiday, yes.
So she's like an influencer.
She has like 2.4 million followers or something.
She's a Bopo body positivity kind of activist.
And she's all about, you know, speaking out against anorexia and all that, which is good.
Those are good things.
But, you know, you know, it doesn't always have to be one extreme or the other, Tess.
Tess.
She talks about having a healthy relationship with food.
My God, that can't be further from the truth.
I don't think so.
And also, like, don't push that on your kid.
Like, we're talking about bad parenting.
This falls under that.
Like, it's your job to help your kid grow up to be a productive and healthy person.
You know, they need to have a healthy relationship with food, yes, but also, like, they can't, they shouldn't be allowed to eat whatever the heck they want.
When she says that she wants her kid to have a healthy relationship with food, I think she doesn't understand what that means.
Because, like, for me, being healthy does not mean thin.
For some people, being thin is unhealthy.
It's like they're not getting enough calories.
Their body type is X and they're trying to be Y. You can't shove yourself into a mold.
So maybe Tess is heavier than the average woman.
Sure, she's bigger boned.
For sure.
And she carries her weight differently.
That's cool.
We need all sorts of types of people.
I'm glad that she can be a model or whatever.
However, the thing that is super messed up about this is she said she wants her kid to not see certain types of food as good and other types as bad.
No, it's so good.
What are you talking about?
Like she's saying like people were mad at her for having a picture or a video of her eating Pop-Tarts with her son.
And she's like, I don't want him to think that some foods are good and some are bad.
It's like, dude, some Pop-Tarts are bad.
That's bad.
That's bad.
Not only for your weight and stuff, but your teeth, your mental health.
Yeah.
Eating just pure sugar, like nothing in that.
You're going to get cavities.
Like, if you want to have some sweets, like, there are ways to do that.
But Pop-Tarts?
Are we living in 1998?
I would be free back then.
I know.
No.
But yeah, it's just, I don't know.
It's your job to help your kid out, you know, and to teach them these things.
And I just think it's a little sketch.
And like I said, she does good things, but I just think this is wrong.
What if her kid was like, hey, mom, can I have an apple?
Do you think she'd be like, are you sure you don't want an apple-flavored Pop-Tart?
Yeah.
Like, that's, like, don't eat an apple just because you think you're going to be skinnier.
Like, what if he's like, no, I just want some fruit?
Yeah.
Like, just give your kids some fruit and we'll stop talking about you, Tess.
Yeah.
That's all.
Unless you do something else gray.
Yeah, which is probably going to happen.
But speaking of 500-pound bears, I was like, how do we like this?
Dress vs. Skirt Debate00:16:05
This is such a beautiful lead up into this conversation.
We just wanted to take a quick break and talk about Hank the Tank.
So he's a 500-pound bear that breaks into 28 homes looking for food.
He's so cute.
Honestly, like Tessa Holiday, if your kid is as cute as Hank the Tank, then just forever.
Do whatever you want.
He's so cute.
Why is this overweight bear so charming?
I don't know if Tess lives in LA, but I was thinking if he's looking for food, you know, go to Tess's.
Go to the holidays.
Her face is.
He's stationed at the holidays.
Yeah.
Like, look at him.
He's so cute.
Oh, my God.
He's like, knock knock.
I'm coming in.
Get the Pop-Tarts ready.
The only good thing that's in LA currently.
Pop-tarts would be a great diet for the overweight bear, not for your child.
Yeah, I think so.
Like, just, you know, he needs to survive the winter.
He does.
Well, not in LA.
No.
Oh, my gosh.
He needs to survive the blue policies.
The dollar is about to crash.
Anyway, back to our regulars, regularly scheduled programming.
We'd already touched on this briefly, but Courtney Cox candidly admits that her previous cosmetic procedures left her looking really strange.
And they did.
I love everything about this article.
I love that she admits to the pressure she was feeling.
She was like, I was, you know, known for being young and beautiful and having a certain look.
And then as I was, you know, in my 30s, I started noticing my face change.
And she said she changed.
And it changed.
Oh, it changed.
And it happens.
But she made it look hecka weird with too much Botox fillers, whatever you want to call it.
And she's now like, you know, obviously she still has Botox and fillers.
Oh, for sure.
But she's toned it down.
She's toned it down and she has a healthier relationship with her own face.
Injectables.
Yeah.
She's more dark.
Balanced approach.
Yeah.
Injectables.
But it's nice to see.
She's thinking about it.
Yeah, that's what I was just going to say because we talked about this last week as well.
It's just nice to see celebrities come out and say, hey, there are bad side effects to these things.
You can take it too far and you won't look good.
So I do think it's really important to keep this conversation going, especially in the wake of social media, which you talk about all the time.
Young women are so impressionable.
If I'm seeing these women inject them, their faces, like I'm only 16.
So if I see these people constantly having to resort to plastic surgery, I'm going to be like, well, that's my only way of looking hot too.
When you're 17, you're going to think you look old.
Yeah.
Because Courtney Cox is 60 and looks 10.
Yeah, no, she did not look 10.
She looks amazing.
Yeah, she's a beautiful woman.
And like, we just need to normalize women aging gracefully.
That's a tough one.
Like, how do you, it's kind of like what we were talking about the other week where people are saying, you know, you should embrace all body types.
And it's, again, only with women.
It's like, fat women deserve love too.
It's like, of course they do, but you can't force a man to think you're hot when he doesn't think you're hot.
Like if he's like, I like.
You can try.
It's just like someone who's like, I like big breasted women.
It's like, no, you have to like tiny breasted women.
It's like you can't force someone.
So like we, how are we supposed to normalize aging faces when we have been like plucked and probed and tightened and stretched for so many years?
We're just going to start sagging.
Like, oh, I'm going to undo the clip here.
Like Ken Brockman and my face is going to.
It's just like a button you press robots.
And then we're just going to be like, men, you better tell us we're young looking still.
It's like, that's going to be tough.
That's going to be an interesting transition for humanity.
But I think it's important that we just embrace our God-given features to an extent.
And like, I don't have any issues with Botox or fillers.
I actually think do what you want to do.
Like, yeah, we are definitely going to Botox to the gods.
We're going to go for sure one day.
But no, it is, it's okay.
Like, do what you want with your body to an extent.
But like, we have to, we have to ease the pressure on people.
At least we should be talking openly about it.
Exactly.
I think people should be like, what did you do on the weekends?
Like, oh, I slept a little bit.
Went to the beach and I got some Botox instead of being like, oh, I just drank, you know, a lot of water, rest.
Like, I'm so sick of people lying.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
There's procedures.
Just be like, your butt is fake, Kim.
Yeah, Kim, your butt's fake.
It's fake.
It's huge and it's fake.
Just admit it.
But no, you're right.
And I think it's important to keep the conversation going.
That's why we talk about plastic surgery so much.
One day we're going to just swap faces.
Yeah, we talk about it so much because we can't actually afford to get it.
It's a large enough so that I can have Nat's face.
And we're going to just do a switch.
We're going to do a switch.
It's going to look good.
So stay tuned for that.
Physical, not the app.
Not like a on Snapchat.
Like, we're going to cut each other's faces up.
Yeah.
So stay tuned for that.
We'll do a live stream.
Speaking of things that are cut up, a little too short, this itsy bitsy micro skirt that's everywhere you look.
Mimiu 650-pound thigh skimmer takes over magazine covers and red carpets.
But would you be daring enough to rock it?
First of all, that is way too much for that amount of fabric.
Yeah.
What?
Where is the skirt?
Where's the skirt?
I see.
Well, I would wear that as a belt over an actual skirt.
I would wear it as like a face shield.
I was going to say like it could be a nice eye mask for if you're traveling.
Yeah, like you're trying to sleep on a plane or something.
Or you need to wear your hair, like you're washing your face and you want to keep your hair out of your face.
It's like a McDonald's visor or something.
Yeah.
Or like, or like a queen's collar.
Oh, that could be cute.
Yeah.
Like Boleyn or something.
I like that.
My biggest question is the question of the hours.
How the heck do you sit down in this thing?
It's so short.
And also, we should talk about Nicole Kidman.
Nicole.
Nicole, you are way too old to be angry.
Are you an 18-year-old trans boy?
But also, isn't it kind of creepy?
It's like over-sexualizing a toddler almost.
Like it looks like a child.
And she's like 60-something.
That's what I mean.
It's kind of creepy.
This is just like the friggin' Courtney Cox thing.
It's like, why are you trying to look 18 in your 50s or 60s?
But it's not even 18.
They try to look younger than 18 and the face she's making.
Exactly.
It's creepy.
I just find it creepy.
And it's like, we should not be normalizing looking like, you know, not legal.
Like, we shouldn't be normalizing, wanting to look like a minor.
Okay.
This is good.
The Christina Aguilera.
Yeah, the worst.
This is what it reminded me.
It's like a really horrible time in fashion.
Yeah, that there's now apparently coming back.
And, you know, and of course, next week we'll be coming to record our show wearing this outfit, but like, obviously.
But you won't like it.
And we won't be able to sit, so we're going to just have to stand.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's just gross.
It's gross.
I don't like it.
And also the under boob.
Yeah, I don't like the underboob.
Stop.
Like, that's not safe for work.
Can we just stop?
We should.
Can we just wear shirts?
Can we just cover ourselves?
Like, like I said, modest is hottest.
I think it's nice to just like keep them guessing.
You know, ladies?
Yeah, I like that.
Keep them guessing.
Obviously, you can take that too far, too.
Oh, yeah.
Like, don't wear like a tent coat that we saw.
Or like a full fucking skin.
Everything in life is about balance.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's not even a nice skirt.
It's not nice and it's way too expensive.
It just looks like a nice skirt that was chopped up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll have the full length, please.
Yeah.
Or we could just make our own, I guess.
Save a few bucks.
Yeah, I have a belt.
Okay, cool.
Just wear a belt as a skirt.
Uh-oh.
So here's more fashion.
Kim Kardashian, Julia Fox, the best celebs, street style for Milan Fashion Week 2022.
We're doing the SAG Awards.
We're doing the SAG Awards instead.
All righty.
The 2022 SAG Award Fashion Looks represents ultimate glamour.
So we're going to show you some of these looks.
This happened over the weekend, I think, right?
Yes, yeah.
You sent this wonderful artist.
They're the Smiths.
The Smiths.
Jada and William Smith.
Their Royal Highness.
Do we see glamour?
I do.
Yeah, I see some glamour.
I don't like the color scheme, though.
It's like navy blue.
They kind of blend into the sag thing, which, you know, could have been avoided.
But I see some glamour.
Does she shaved her head?
Yeah, that's glamour.
Okay.
Who's this now?
I can't read anything from here.
This is a problem.
Is that Sophie Turner?
No, that's Jessica Chaste.
See, all gingers just look the same.
Same, I guess.
They do.
She looks cute.
But it looks like, you know, in that Hillary Duff movie when she goes to Rome, it looks like the final dress that she wears.
Oh, my God, that's it.
And she rips off the skirt and she's like, this is what dreams are made of.
That's what it looks like.
Is she wearing pants under the skirt?
Yeah.
Naomi Watts do we feel like she's not?
She hasn't aged a day.
No, I wonder what's in her face.
I don't know, but her Botox guy is doing a lot better of a job than Courtney's old one.
Yeah.
That's all I'm going to say.
We should all be calling this.
This dress is boring.
That's all right.
I'm boring.
It's whatever.
Nicole Kidman.
Oh, she doesn't look like a 10-year-old.
That's refreshing.
I bet if we were really zoomed in, we would see some lines, which would just be atrocious.
She kind of dare she has.
She's trying to dress like a nun.
I wonder if Mew Mew did this dress too.
It kind of looks like that dress.
It's nice that we saw earlier.
I never mind it.
It's simple.
It's all right.
She looks all right.
She finally looks her age.
It's refreshing.
Jennifer Hudson.
Oh, cute.
Oh, that's pretty.
She's cute.
Yeah, that's really pretty.
Yeah, she's feminine.
It's pink.
It's flattering.
It's like flowers.
It's like not too revealing.
Yeah, it's good vibes.
That's good vibes.
I like that.
Me too.
It's so pretty.
Lee Switherson, this is bad.
Oh, a sash around your waist, Reese?
You know, it looks like the mean girl's dress that she can't fit into.
Regina George can't fit into at the end.
Because she's been eating those county bars.
It's a mustache.
It's neckline.
It's like a mustache.
That's the classic mustache neckline.
I don't like it.
I would trip on that sash for sure.
And the colors?
No, it's boring.
Make me that dress in just the sash.
Yeah.
Like, give me that dress.
Yeah.
All right.
I agree.
Lady Gaga.
So, Lady Gaga, speaking of face implants.
Oh, yeah.
This woman's face has never looked the same day to day.
Like, if you want to, and I'll probably do this with the magic of editing, but if you want to look at Lady Gaga's face like 10 years ago versus this one now, this is like her Asian great-granddaughter.
Like this is not the same person.
No.
She just completely stretched out.
It's not cute, lady.
It's not cute.
And she is the one who, didn't she used to call her her tribe of like fans, like her little monsters, like her little freaks or whatever?
She's like, be yourself, be authentic.
It's non-conformity.
Yeah, so you got a nose job.
You got lip injections.
You got a facelift.
You got Botox.
Like you dyed your hair blonde.
Like you, you did all the conformists.
You are the biggest conformist on the planet.
But you know what?
It's all right.
We're pretty used to all you're doing.
Not practicing what you preach is better than that.
Although if you're hungry and you got like a hot plate, you could just sizzle that baby.
I don't know.
The dress was okay, though.
Yeah.
Not the meat dress.
Yeah, yeah, that dress was okay.
This is our day.
Oh, yeah.
She's beautiful.
She is beautiful.
This is a boring dress.
I don't see what's going on.
I can't even see.
is she pregnant maybe she looks it's cute if she's pregnant it's cute if she's pregnant If we're wrong, we're sorry, Rosie.
Yeah, we're not trying to body shame you.
It's just hard to tell with the dark background.
Kate Blanchett.
Again.
Isn't she like supposed to be elderly now?
Yeah, like she doesn't dress her age.
She hasn't aged at all.
And I don't mean that in that you can't be sexy and be like, it's just confusing because she's, like, she has been a hot, like, classy lady for like 20 years.
Yeah.
Like, just own that.
I mean, I guess she is, because it's working.
She doesn't look messed up.
Like, I don't think she looks like it's just, it's confusing to me how she hasn't.
Like, Lord of the Rings came out over 10 years ago.
No, I think it's been 20.
20 years, right?
Yeah.
Dude, I'm bad at math.
But it's like, she's older than that.
And that's, you know, very confusing.
I look older than her now.
And I was like a newborn baby when that came out.
You don't look older than her, but yeah.
Selena.
Yeah, I love this.
Yeah, that's actually really cool.
She looks cute.
I mean, obviously you're a fan of the big puffy sleeves.
She looks very elegant.
She looks beautiful.
Yeah, I'm loving it.
I love the silhouette.
It's very flattering.
She's very classy.
And I love that.
Is that like a skin?
I think so.
I like that.
It's a little like it's a little risque.
Yeah.
It's not like it's not giving it all up.
No, it's not.
On the first date, you know?
I like that a lot.
Selma.
Again, how are you still hot?
It's very confusing.
Yeah, she's, her face is, like, flawless.
This is.
I don't like this.
It's not bad.
I don't.
No.
She's.
No.
I don't like this.
No.
And the gloves?
Gloves are bad.
Are they?
Yeah, they're bad.
That's no good.
I know.
That's very 80s.
Yeah, it's not working for me.
No.
This is Hailey Steinfeld.
Is that how you say it?
Yeah.
All right.
This is like a worse version of Selena's dress.
Yeah, I don't like it.
Her hair looks greasy.
Is that me?
It's the gel, yeah.
I don't like it.
I don't like that little strip.
Me too.
It's not working for me, Haley.
It just looks like a bra.
Yeah.
With a skirt.
Yeah, I don't love it.
Like, girls, when I was at Western, used to dress like that to the bar.
Okay, well, you.
Sad.
She has way more money than those girls, so she should be ashamed of herself.
This is highly sexual.
Vanessa Hudgens.
This looks very much like Selma's dress, but like, this is like, Selma's was like the mother of this dress.
Yeah.
This is sexy.
It's sexy, but like, also, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't like, I don't like it.
Something looks off.
I feel like it would be really pretty if it was strapless and like a little higher.
Yeah, and I think the slit is not a little bit more.
Not as much should not be so hot.
I don't mind the slit.
I just feel like you have boob and you have slit.
It's too much.
Give me like a nice, or like one of those like shoulder something neck.
It's just not, it's not perfect.
You're almost there, though.
She's so beautiful.
Like her face is just perfect.
Yeah.
Carrie Washington.
This is cool.
I like this.
This looks like what the drag queen Simone was wearing at New York Fashion the other week.
I really like that.
That's actually really cool.
I'm loving the neon.
I think it's good.
I think it's good.
And I love the big, puffy dresses.
Me too.
Like, why is the, is your wedding day the only day you can wear a giant every day?
You should be wearing gowns all the time.
Yeah, I do.
I think you should dye your wedding gown neon.
I'm just going to wear it to work next week.
I think the theme is just wear a giant vibrant colored gown and we'll love it.
Yeah, I think that we are, we have a type.
Yeah, we have a type.
And we discriminate against all other types.
Okay, well, let's move on.
That was fun.
That was fun.
All right, guys, so we're going to try something new now.
We're going to do a rapid-fire session where we just read headlines and offer one quick snide remark each or just someone.
Which is actually really terrible because that's what they called the bombing of London.
Yeah, okay, well, in like 1944, we're going to be having a blitz, a misunderstood blitz.
So we're going to.
I need to find my notes.
I have the wrong papers.
I printed this four times.
So, okay, I got it.
This is all staying in.
Okay.
Okay, so first one.
Rumor has it that Taylor Swift and Joel Allman are engaged after five years together.
Why are they screaming their love for the mountaintops?
Like, there should be an album about this.
We've been waiting for decades for this.
I thought, like, the rumor came out when they first started dating that they got engaged.
Or when Lover came out, right?
You know, after Willow, the song Willow came out from Evermore.
No, but it was actually Lover because there's a song on Lover.
The one that's Lover.
Okay, that's Lover.
It's like, it kind of has a wedding-y theme.
And I just wanted to say that for Taylor Swift to have been in a relationship for five years, she's basically married.
This is a huge feat, Taylor.
My congratulations to the couple.
Yeah, we will not be sending a gift.
That's what I wrote.
We will not be sending a gift.
All right, we're done.
Okay, next one.
Melissa McCarthy had the best response for Lizzo after she got cast as Ursula in The Little Mermaid.
So what do we think about that?
Melissa's going to do a fine job.
Yeah, so apparently Lizzo is like, I wanted that role.
And then Melissa's like, well, well, then why did they give it to me?
But she was just being silly.
Like they're funny.
They're tight.
But I would just like to say, I'd like to nominate myself to play hot Ursula.
Yeah.
Okay.
I would like to play the role of flounder.
Amazing.
Because I just, I think that's the vibe.
Call us.
Cool.
So let us know.
Kim Kardashian's fleet of cars cost over $100,000 in custom work because the stars are just like us.
So that's great.
Scarlett Johansen's Skincare Controversy00:04:07
I would like to ask her about the engines of those cars.
She knows, I'm sure.
She definitely knows.
She doesn't even know what's going on under her own hood.
Yeah, so yeah.
Alrighty.
Large corporations scoop up relief money designed for small businesses.
Everything that Justin Trudeau touches turns to poop.
I think that's really all there is to say.
All I have is he's a government for the people, folks.
The little guy.
He's looking out for you.
Yeah.
Great.
Great.
Moving on.
Scarlett Johansen's new skincare line has sparked a debate about the oversaturation of celebrity beauty brands weeks after Kylie Jenner was called out for recycling her products.
Okay, again, I thought that that was old news that Kylie Jenner recycles her products.
Yeah, I don't know.
Whatever.
I want to see celebrities only use the products they try to sell us for like a month or so.
Yeah, they look titty.
They're going to see how their skin actually looks.
And no secret appointments to your dermatologist, girl.
I want to see just the hyaluronic acid serum.
Yeah.
No Botox.
I would also like to list the names here.
This is just the celebrities who have started their own beauty brands in the last one or two.
Yeah.
So there's, so Scarlett has been added to the list of A-listers who have opened up their own beauty brands, including Harry Styles, why?
Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Machine Gun Kelly, Ellen DeGeneres, Haley Bieber, Jennifer Anniston, Billie Eilish, Addison Ray, and Priyanka Chowpra-Jones.
Couldn't you just do a collab?
Like just collab.
Oh my God.
Like the market is oversaturated.
And you know what?
It feels, if it feels like, like to me, it feels like rich people just directly grabbing money out of your wallet and putting it in their own wallets.
Like, baby, don't do that.
I agree.
And I think like the real celeb skincare drop would be if they just like paid to drop us off at their dermatologist.
Yes.
Do a giveaway.
Do a giveaway.
Give me your dermatologist.
For like a year.
Yeah.
Or forever.
Going on.
I think Brian said it.
Ryan Reynolds says he and Blake Lively are deeply and unreservedly sorry for getting married on a plantation.
First of all, never apologize to the mob.
And also Blake does a lot to spread awareness about human trafficking.
So that's modern day slavery, y'all.
So maybe cut her a little slap.
I had a note about this.
She wrote on her another Instagram.
So apparently they've already apologized because they got married in like 20 ages ago.
Yeah, whatever.
It's history.
It's ancient history.
So she wrote recently, again, it was a giant bleeping mistake that can either cause you to shut down or it can reframe things and move you into action.
It's like, Blake, are you going to go back in time and end slavery earlier?
You can't.
What are you so sorry about?
Like, how many people have had events at plantations?
It's obviously a hideous history.
Staying on history.
Why are they still there?
Yeah.
Like, are we allowed to look at them at the buildings and learn about the history?
Or should we, I get it, like, don't have a wedding there.
But, like, the venue should be the one in trouble.
Yeah.
For, like, they took the money.
I agree.
I agree.
And also, like, all you can do is worry about how you are moving forward.
We can't really change the past.
So all we can do is learn from our mistakes and just try to be better today and tomorrow.
I feel like they have a timer on their phone.
So it's like every two years apologize for the wedding.
To stay relevant again.
They should get divorced and then remarried at a Planned Parenthood.
That would.
Okay.
Wow.
Well, that's interesting.
All right.
Maybe on that note, we're going to end things.
