Things are going to get weird. It's your fave villain, Kale Lowry.
And you're listening to Barely Famous. Hello, Big Teases.
Hi. Hey, how are you? I'm good.
How are you? And thank you for coming on the podcast. Thank you for inviting me.
I'm finally glad that we got to link up this way. I'm so excited to talk to you because I live under a rock, right? Like I don't have, I get a lot of my pop culture information from you.
So I'm going to need you to tell me all of the things. But before we do that, let's talk about how you got started on social media and have truly become like a resource and a source for where people get their information.
Yeah. So I wasn't one of those people that was really into TikTok when it first started during COVID I was really against it I was like no I'm not adding another app to my phone but I was always the friend that had the pop culture updates I was like we have to see this movie we have to watch this show did y'all hear what happened with Britney did you hear what happened with Justin like I was always that friend so they would call me TM me TAMC and I was just like, all right, I'm going to play around with it one day.
Let me see. So I started with team mom update and I didn't know I would find like a community that really watched team mom right now.
And I was like, okay, so let me try movies. And then it was like pop culture.
I knew I knew stuff, but I was just like, who cares if I say it? Then I was just like, whatever, let me try it. And once I tried it, it just took off from there.
I mean, you have a huge following just from talking about pop culture, but it's what, what was really, really what hooked me was like how witty and funny you are about your commentary. So like, even if I don't, I can't think of a video where you like said anything like unhinged about me but like even if you did the way that you do your commentary and like do your updates i would have loved you anyway so like even if you were like kail doesn't know how to dress i hate the way that she looks she looks like a fucking drowned rat in this episode like i would not have cared because it's so fucking funny i try not to like talk about anyone for real for Like I'm not going to talk about your way.
I'm not going to really talk about your race or anything like that. I might say someone needs a middle part or something like that, but I try to remain like in boundaries, of course.
Yeah, try to have a little bit of a boundary, of course, but still, you know, given that quick witty update. No, I'm obsessed with it.
And truly, I hope that you just like keep growing on your social medias because it's so fucking funny but so you started with teen mom what was the next show that you started to kind of cover you did movies what movies do you remember that you first did i did an elvis movie i watched the elvis movie on hbo max and I went in knowing nothing about Elvis Elvis so a lot of stuff was a shock to me like you know the pills everything so I was just like let me check it out let me talk about it and then I saw other people didn't really know a lot about Elvis so it was like okay this isn't like a weird environment where people are like why didn't you know that it's like oh I didn't know that either let that movie. Yeah, no, and truly people should reach out to you to do these types of reviews and commentary because people live for it.
So you had talked to Kristen about coming on this episode and mentioned to me the Vince McMahon jocu-series on Netflix, which I hadn't even heard of yet. I know who Vince McMahon is through my friend Bone and then also because my kids are into wrestlemania and wrestling and all of that i'm on episode three so you'll have to fill me in on the rest but it is so insane because i'm pretty sure and i don't know if you caught this i'm sure you did um i think they started this docu-series with like different intentions and then all of the other allegations started coming out in the process of filming it did you see that yes so originally what a lot of people don't know is and a lot of wrestling fans at first were against the documentary because they were like he has all these allegations but the documentary started filming way before the allegations came out so that's why everyone's just talking like it's nothing you'll hear people kind of praising vince and moments and then just saying what his real character like is behind the stage and everything like that.
But it's really good. It's really intense.
Episode six really dives into like the actual allegations and the lawsuit that he's up against right now due to all like the sex trafficking, the abuse and all of those things. So you'll get to learn a little bit more about that case.
Well, what's really interesting is this is all kind of coming out. I didn't know that this, when did this even come out? Because obviously we are all just obsessed with this Diddy case, and that's about sex trafficking and similar allegations.
And so I didn't even know that they did this. I don't see people talking about this one the same way they're talking about Diddy.
No. and that's why I always try to make sure I do those things because it is a conversation like on social media, especially like with black people when you see people like, oh, this Diddy incident happened and they're making all of these documentaries.
Why aren't they doing the same thing for white people? And it's like, there's some out there, it's not to, you know, the popularity of a Diddy, but there are some out there and there's this six part documentary about Vince McMahon and no one's talking about it the way they're talking about diddy so I'm like I'm gonna continue on with it because one I like wrestling I love wrestling I'm not new to Vince McMahon I'm not new to the allegations um which sounds shocking to people who aren't used to wrestling he did all of this in front of us like his personality or whatever it is they're bringing up in a lawsuit those are like things that he would do in front of us or play out in storylines even to the fact that he had a storyline where he wanted to pretend to be his uh daughters uh when she was pregnant he wanted to say he was the father of her child and she was like no and he was like okay what about your brother and he thought it was funny yeah he thought it was funny he thought it was cool he thought it was something that the crowd would want to see and she had to say no so it's kind of like we kind of knew about these things but back in the day it was seen as okay because it was Vince McMahon so I want to backtrack a little bit because you just brought up the race thing do you think this is a race thing like people are not really talking about Vince McMahon because he's white or do you think that it's maybe the level of fame that Diddy has do you or do you think they're kind of comparable I'm not I know who Vince McMahon is but I actually didn't know that he made WWF into WWE and what we know it as today so I didn't actually make that connection between it being like, you know, about race. I think it's kind of both in terms of the news and how much they put out about it.
Because I do watch Good Morning America in the morning. I watch The View.
I watch Today a little bit. I watch Kelly and Mark.
And you'll hear about Diddy. But when the Vince McMahon thing happened, it was kind of like one on, one off.
And was kind of like one on one off and then it was like Vince was back and then it was like Vince is gone so it wasn't consistent so I blame that on like larger media but in terms of like the public not knowing it is a popularity thing a lot of people don't watch wrestling a lot of people wouldn't know that there was a Vince McMahon documentary unless you like really did that research or really checked it out I have a lot of followers even though I talk about it all the time it's not pushed in my time like there's maybe a few other things so they're finding out about the documentary from me like promoting it so it is like you know double-edged sword but I do think on a larger scale the media doesn't promote Vince McMahon and his allegations the way they do D and what's going on with him. But also, again, it's a popularity thing.
A lot of people don't watch wrestling. A lot of people don't care.
They think it's kiddish. They think, you know, it's for their cousins or their nephew or something like that.
They don't think a grown man or a grown woman is watching wrestling. Right.
No, I mean, what's really interesting is I, like I said earlier, I only know of wrestling because of my friend Bone and my kids. But when I actually physically went to WrestleMania this year in 2024, I was blown away by the fan base of WWE.
I mean, we're talking all walks of life, every type of person from the businessman executive at the top of freaking corporate ladder to

just everyday people that you might see at school, you might see your, you know, their grandparents and the fan base that WWE has, I was shook. I like could not understand it.
And then to watch the storylines kind of play out, which my kids and Bone have told me like the storyline it's like sort of like professional sports and acting collide like it's really really crazy and so he where I'm at in the docuseries is so he takes over WWF turns it into what we know WWE is today and from there he is sort of the originator in, what I know so far, of really tapping in and doing cross promotion between brands, celebrities, all kinds of things to tap into each other's audiences, which is like mutually beneficial for all types of celebrities or public figures, I guess we could call them. And so he aided and abetted in a pedophile ring, in a pedophile ring.
Essentially, people were turning blind eyes to that. He was alleged.
He alleged rape, I guess, sex trafficking, child sex, child sexual abuse, illegal distribution of steroids. He settled for a multimillion dollar lawsuit against him, a reader, reader Chatterman for sexual assault, which isn't like, I would have never known any of this if it wasn't for you.
Now, some of this I knew because my cousin, I didn't have any siblings, but I had a cousin who watched wrestling and he would give me all of his DVD. So a lot of this stuff is already documented and put out there.
There is a, I think it's called Mr. McMahon.
It's like a three disc DVD. And that's where I learned that he wanted to even have, you know, that storyline with Stephanie and a lot of the lawsuits.
That's where I learned about them. But this documentary does a deeper detail into a lot of those lawsuits.
Like I didn't know Detective Lunch from Law and Order SVU was in a chokehold with Hulk Hogan and, you know, busting his head. I didn't know those things.
So it does a deeper dive. But I definitely think this documentary is important.
And I'm glad it's six parts because making it an hour, making it two hours, they wouldn't have been able to really dig and give that deeper detail behind a lot of this stuff. Well, what I think people don't realize, especially in pop culture, figures hip-hop um reality tv I don't think that any of us um truly knew what WWE is worth right like that's an almost nine billion dollar company as of last year and it's only getting bigger because they have people like Roman Reigns like I've seen interviews with John Cena where he talks about you know the actual financial side of it and how roman reigns is a big pool and i will say there's times where like i don't watch and then i'll be like okay royal rumbles coming up mania season's coming up i want to go to mania so let me hurry up and get back into the season but if i hear roman reigns is going to be there boom i'm gonna watch because i want to see where the story goes so i do agree to that but it is a million dollar billion dollar company and Vince McMahon did do an amazing job you know making it to what it is but luckily you know not luckily those things happen because you know sorry to those victims but luckily it's coming out because now we can we're able to get him out the way for many things and now the company is thriving and it isn't any of those weird things

that used to take place back in the day.

For sure.

No, I definitely think that the victims

should all have,

be able to tell their stories

if they want to and not hide on,

you know, behind,

you know, these big names

because I think Hush Money is crazy.

Didn't he pay somebody like Hush Money

to like keep some things quiet yes he paid and I'm really glad that people like Tony Atlas were speaking in a documentary when they asked questions like why did you guys say things about this why didn't you do this he was like we'll get fired you can say it but he would have fired us it was a power play um this big man was in charge and everybody knew he was in charge so I feel like things like that was really important to say because people need to know what the culture was like then and, you know, a little bit of now before people started outing people so that they can understand why people didn't say anything. People were probably trying to say things, but they got fired.
They got paid off. They disappeared.
You know, things happen when people try to speak up. So I was glad that people like Tony Atlas actually told you know the full truth this is literally the exact almost the exact same thing that we're seeing with Diddy but Vince McMahon which is insane and both of them are happening happening at the same time so do we know yep I know you finished the documentary docuseries so do we know when the true the full trial is or has it already happened for Vince no I believe if I'm not mistaken it was paused the investigation was paused I do remember hearing that his house was um raided at one point um but I don't think there's a trial going on but also I think that's a lot of like who he knows and his connections as well and they you know he's old so his investigation might be much longer than what i think a diddy's case is gonna be okay so this one says on sporting news um i'm on google like i said i didn't get to finish the documentary i'm going to finish it because like i said i didn't know anything about this um i think a lot of this right now it says there was there's a steroid trial as of two days ago.

This is inside the steroids trial.

So I don't think that there are I don't think they're going to trial for like the sex trafficking or any of that stuff right now. From Variety in May, it says that the sexual assault lawsuit paused pending ongoing DOJ investigation.
investigation so i don't know if there's been an update since then but i do remember that

there was like you know a lot of news around them searching paperwork and looking into his finances to see, you know, other things that have taken place. All crazy things.
Like when you think about how much money someone can have to pay someone off and you have to search through their finances to see if they transferred a million dollars to someone like all crazy things it's crazy what money and power can do and like what how people will act because between Vince McMahon and Diddy I don't even know I'm so fascinated by this Diddy case and now the Vince McMahon stuff because I can't understand the amount of people that had to have been and are still involved in both cases that keep their mouth shut as long as they have. Like, I can't wrap my head around that.
And I think that's why I have such a fascination with it is like, yeah, there was like videotapes and stuff. But like, I can't wrap my head around that many people being quiet.
See, I think it's much bigger than everybody even thinks. Because I personally remember there was a time when diddy was like at multiple award shows he got the key to the city and i made a video i was like what is going on are we getting the diddy documentary like what's going on i personally feel like he knew like shit was about to hit the fan so he was like let me get all of this out let me get all these awards and accolades and get the key to the city and everybody loved me now because shit might hit the fan but for outsiders i think even how they're saying like certain r&b artists i think it's bigger i think it's going to out people sexuality i think it's going to out people you know medical history i think this is going to be much bigger so i feel like people are being quiet because like their personal lives even if they didn't partakeake or, you know, didn't harm or hurt anyone.
I think their personal lives are about to be ruined by all of this. Just from keeping their mouth shut? Or you mean, like you mean people involved keeping their mouth shut, it'll still ruin them? You mean? I think they're keeping their mouth shut because it is like, like I said, grander than this.
Like, I think it's going to out some people for their sexuality. Some people that, males especially,

like we're going to find out

there are some of our favorite singers

that are intimate.

And that is going to hurt their personal lives

because maybe their families don't know.

Maybe, you know, that's not their brand.

However it is, that's going to harm them, I believe.

And then I believe like,

just because of the sexual acts and what we're hearing,

there's some medical stuff that might get out in them. Maybe someone has a certain STD or something

like that. Those things are going to come to light.
And I feel like people are being quiet because

once they open their mouths, that makes them a target. And then they might not have harmed anyone,

but maybe something happened to them, or maybe they have like, you know, personal secrets

that will come out because of this. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Like if, for example, allegedly we hear that Diddy and Meek mill had relations or whatever the case was there or you know celebrities doing this with other celebrities that all would be consensual right like that was i they consented i believe it is what act has done because i know like in college i had to do um the consention the um consent test so if one person is drunk you're not supposed to have sex because they can't

technically consent because they're under the influence and if it then that's considered rape so I think if they were under the influence and then if like you know mickeys or anything were put into them and they were unaware of it that you know it resulted in rape or some type of assault then I believe that is the crime.

I believe, you know, the drugs drugs the sex trafficking he did have some sex workers that were a part of things they do have tapes of those um the physical abuse that took place for the girls that were there um as well as some other things i think the consensual things with the celebrities and stuff that's fine unless they were corrosed into doing those things some type of way.

But I think- other things i think the consensual things with the celebrities and stuff that's fine unless they were coerced into doing those things um some type of way but i think that biggest thing is going to be like the drugs that were involved okay and so same for like the sex workers so the sex workers were possibly drugged and kept against their will and also potentially physically abused is that kind of like the gist of it yeah i believe that's also and then i know for like the cassie incident for example i did read like he would have her have sex with a sex worker while he watched and he would film it and everyone was on drugs so once drugs come into play i believe don't quote me i believe that's when consensual sex is out the door um so she wouldn't have been able to consent to having sex with a sex worker and it being filmed diddy would probably have been the only maybe sober person in the room but you know they say he was on drugs too we don't know these people though this is not factual this is all alleged all of it is alleged I did go back on tiktok and i saw this video where there's like a song justin bieber sang a chorus that was like um something about i at a ditty party i lost myself at a ditty party or something like that and that's like the whole hook of the song yeah and like either justin Bieber, for example, I allegedly if like the things that they're saying about him is true, like I feel like that is a bigger thing. Like he would be a victim in that.
And then he would have to talk forcefully to the public, which is something on a normal basis someone wouldn't have to do. And then things about sexuality would come out and medical records and stuff.
So I feel like that's like a person that if he was involved, we don't know. But if he was involved, I feel like he's being quiet to protect himself because being loud and saying I'm against Diddy would put a camera on him.
And I feel like that would out maybe some things that he doesn't want out it. So but did you hear that they allegedly, of course, questioned Kim Kardashian and thather and jay-z are also very heavily involved in all of this not kitty cakes i mean i could see her at the party there are old episodes where chloe says she was at the party and she dated french mops hannah for a little bit as well who is always at the ditty party so you know they probably mixed and mingled a little bit, but not Chibi Cakes.
Oh, girl. Well, what sucks about all of this is like the celebrity that may have been to Diddy parties that didn't participate or even really know the true depths of like what was going on.
It's kind of like fucking them up. Like I'm a big Kim K fan.
I love the Kardashians. If they were not in fact in the know

or a participant, a willing participant of any of this,

that's really sad because I'm sure that all of this

will probably affect their fan bases.

Yeah, and also I saw like a clip

where Denzel Washington was telling like the younger actors

like lead a party before the devil comes.

And it wasn't, you know, pertaining to Diddy particularly,

but just saying lead a party before, you know,

things get crazy.

So maybe they even heard things were crazy

Thank you. younger actors like lead a party before the devil comes and it wasn't you know pertaining to diddy particularly but just saying lead a party before you know things get crazy so maybe they even heard things were crazy and they left but it's just like we saw that picture of you at that party and it's like i went home before the lights even got turned off guys i know i saw post malone in like a video it's like a montage and i was like oh no, oh, no, don't do that to Posty.
Like, don't do that. Don't do it.
I want to wait until it all comes out before I change my my my following and like what I who I follow, because like I don't want to prematurely unfollow someone that actually didn't know or like wasn't a part of any of this. No one else has been arrested or charged with anything.
now my only unfollowed has been diddy have you seen the allegations against jay-z and do you think that he was part of all of this and do you think that diddy will snitch on jay-z i had this conversation on live yesterday and i don't think jay-z is gonna be accused of the things that people want or think that he's gonna to be accused of. I do think, you know, the grooming aspect of it all is what's, you know, hiding the conversation.
But for me, it's like, I understand it. But like a lot of people's grandparents, like generations have been born off of that.
Like we were having this conversation, like that was the norm back in the day. Yes, it's frowned upon.
Yes, we should talk about it. Yes, we should teach it.
Hey, don't do this. But like grandma was 17 getting married to grandpa who was 24.
And that is how your family retreat started. So they were doing what was the norm.
Hopefully they know it was wrong now. But to the extent people think that Jay-Z is going to get in trouble, I don't.
I think it's more of like that grooming conversation of the ages of Aaliyah, Foxy Brown, Beyonce, and how old he was when he was pursuing them. I think that's the conversation.
I don't think it's him going to jail for, you know, dating related things. And that's a really good, that's a really good point.
I also, I didn't know that there was like a grooming aspect of it, but to your point about the generational, you know, that's how grandma and grandpa started their family tree. I also had that conversation with Jodi Pico on this podcast, because she wrote a book by any other name.
And that was something that I had brought up to her, an aspect that was has been going on since well before the 1500s was like very older, very old men going after very small children, like 13 year olds. And even at that time time, that was kind of what was happening.
And that's how Family Tree started. But I agree.
When you know better, you do better. And I think that that is a bigger conversation that maybe will be addressed.
But I agree with you. I don't think that Jay-Z is going to go down the same way that Diddy's going to go down because I think we would have heard about it by now.
Yeah. I feel like he's in the NFL.
Like that would have been a big target way before Diddy in my personal opinion. But I could be wrong, but I don't think he is going down for any of those things.
Like I said, I think the conversation would be grooming and the age difference between the women that he's dated and that he's currently married to. But other than that, I don't think it's going to get that that deep i have not had a chance to watch the secret lives of mormon mormon wives so can you please tell me about this and give me um give me the the entire rundown of the the soft swinging and the swinging and all of the things because i knew who these women were from mom talk and i i think her name Taylor right like the face of the show and like of mom talk is from Taylor yep okay so I know who she is and I very vaguely know like the other cast members but like run it down for me okay I'm not gonna pretend like I know all of these girls because they all look alike if I'm gonna be 100% honest to you some Some just stand out a little bit more than others.
Taylor, of course, she's the star of the show. They have money because of Taylor.
They all need to thank Taylor. And then you have Whitney who wishes she was the star of the show and can't be the star of the show to save her life.
And her husband who was on Tinder, but it was rumored that it was grinder and they both changed their hair the whole show yes it's so messy like when i said tinder because that's what the show said everybody was in my comments like grinder girl grinder no that no it wasn't it i was like oh y'all know something i don't know and they were like yeah there's this whole conversation like you need to look and I was like oh well they said tinder on the show so I'm gonna go with tinder but her husband and her have their whole problem and she tried to blame everything that's going on on Taylor and Taylor's like I'm about to go be with my toxic boyfriend had his baby after I told him I didn't really want to have his baby with him that I really want to have this baby with him and I asked him if he want want to be with me. And he said, yeah, but like he makes my life hell.
But I really don't want to hang with these girls. So I'm gonna just be with my man and figure this out.
Like it's so chaotic. And then like there's this girl, Macy, she has a birthday.
And all of them go on her trip. It just starts shit.
Like, why are y'all arguing on my birthday trip? Like they bring a box and they're like're like let's do the truth box and they all write notes to write questions that they want to ask all the girls and like all hell breaks loose at my birthday trip like what are we doing this sounds like teen mom but like the older version like an older um like mom 30s 40s version of Teen Mom? Yes, that's what I got out of it. Yes, it's like a lot of drama.
It's like, and then there's like the first episode, Taylor gets arrested. She's like pregnant.
She just got a divorce. I believe she has two kids already.
She's with this man that nobody agrees with. She gets arrested.
And then like they fast forward the next episode. She unfortunately had miscarriage but they fast forward she's pregnant again her mom's like you're moving this man in and y'all not married like it's so it's so much and then are they are they mormon still are they're like ex-mormon no they're mormon they're practicing mormon like i know there's like two or three that are like more mormon than everyone else and like they really like there was like a baptism episode, like they're Mormon.
They're practicing Mormon. Like, I know there's, like, two or three that are, like, more Mormon than everyone else.
And, like, they really, like, there was, like, a baptism episode. Like, they're Mormon, but, like, I don't, I know Taylor's mom was like, are you going to go to the church one day to talk about, like, how her life was going and how she was drinking and everything? She was like, no.
So, how does that work? Mormon. I don't know.
And i'm not also i'm not gonna long i haven't finished the show because all of this other stuff has come out and all of these other shows i think i'm like two or three episodes behind i'm at the party episode which i believe is like episode four or five um this is after the uh the trip when they mess up macy's birthday trip so I'm'm at that episode. So I still have to finish, but it's messy.
It's very messy. And like, they're like, we have to save mom talk.
Mom talk is not going to survive. And it's just like, so traumatic.
I saw that it was number one on like Hulu. And I was like, wow, this is, I mean, that's big to be, I mean, essentially they had to have been found on TikTok, right? Like that had to be where they got found.
Yeah. They were found because of Taylor outing the whole swinger thing and exposing mom talk and having that conversation.
So that's how they were discovered. And I do know that like there's some behind the scenes stuff that I'm sure there's some other creators that can break it down for you um that taylor wasn't originally going to do the show and they were like we're not doing the show without taylor so like she's the star of the show even though she doesn't really want to be the star of the show some episodes like that's the star of the show okay and the soft swimming swinging is like somebody else's like she was friends with someone else's boyfriend or like what was going on so how i got it was her husband was open to introducing other people into their relationship and she was like okay and she ended up getting with the man that she was swinging with and divorced her husband so they were having like little swinger parties everyone that's on the show was not involved in it was like a tailor and like a few people think um but it was like she said everyone so the outside audience assumed it was like the entire group wow okay so that's a lot i'm gonna watch it i just so many shows and like things have been happening that i haven't gotten a chance to see it and i kind of of knew who they were.
So I will get to it. But what is your favorite show to cover scripted

unscripted and like what one specifically and what can you tell me because I know nothing.

Because look, let me tell you, I typed it out. So right now, I'm watching This Is Us.
Have you

ever watched This Is Us? I started it. I think I watched two episodes so far.
Okay, get ready to

cry girl. Like get ready to cry.
Like it's such a good good show i don't want to tell you but if you've never watched this is a good job of showing why certain people are the way they are they do a good job of showing how they were as kids and how they were parented and then how certain events in their lives affect them when they were teenagers so why they make certain decisions and why they parent the way they do as adults um it's about this mom mandy morris character she has triplets one sadly passes away uh randall who is their african-american son he gets adopted because he was dropped off at the hospital the same day and the dad's like we came in here expecting three we got three cribs at the crib let's take this baby home and raise it as our own so you see the dynamic and how having an adopted child plays into it raise how you know having three kids plays into it and how the mom was able to parent which kid which way um some stuff happens I'm not gonna tell you what happens but some stuff happens with a crock pot ruining their lives and you see how that whole thing messes up their lives as well and how they ended up you know if it's someone getting therapy or you know wanting to adopt a child later on how those uh events in their lives bring them there okay so that's a good show i'm gonna write these down hold on let me get my little sticky note so I need to continue pushing along on this is us and then we're gonna do secret lives it's good because

Thanksgiving is coming up this is like a very in your bed warm get your blanket get your tea show

like you're gonna cry you're gonna cry this is made for crying okay get that out

so cry you're gonna cry this is made for crying okay get that out made for crying okay what else tell me have you kept up with do you watch selling sunset at all no okay So I like to let people know very early, like I am like a reality show girly, but I have my limits. It has to have a storyline, people I can follow.
I do like home shows. I will say that.
But I kind of like Property Brothers, more of like HGTV type of vibes. I'm getting ready for the SNL 50th anniversary which takes place tomorrow you can watch that on peacock or nbc i love snl uh will farrell just released a documentary with his best friend who used to be a writer on snl it's on netflix right now it's called will and harper they're going on a road trip um harper just transitioned into being a woman and it's just about them going on a road trip and will asking questions and harper originally um would go on real road trips and this is the first time she's gone on a road trip as a woman and trying to figure out how that is going to be for her so it's really good so far and will ferrell's asking questions very comfortable and just trying to figure out how to ask certain questions so it's very informative so far from where i'm at um but i think they did a really good job releasing it before the snl 50th yeah and i will say as someone who's just like i'm supportive you know i want you to do you i want you to feel safe around me i want you to feel protected some stuff i don't know so this is an educational tool that they're riding around and they're having this conversation no for sure um your freaking commentary on the red carpet looks i wrote down in my notes for you i literally said i haven't had i didn't get a chance to watch the amaze obviously this was when we were um the original episode that you and i were supposed to record um the commentary on your the looks had me cackling that's always my goal when I'm like staying with carpets you know make sure you feel like you're there make sure you feel like you got the information that you need like we're really reporting we're very much giving respect to Joan Joan sometimes gets a day pass from hell and she gets to come up and we get to have conversation, talk about these people outfits.
But, you know, it's every now and then. It's not every day.
Did you see Isaac, my son Isaac? He did a whole video on my red carpet looks and was like just critiquing every single look at him. Yeah, I'll send it to you.
Hold on. I'll send it send it to you I was happy I've seen the updates that you've done about like his ASL and all of those so I saw the one did he do you and Joe in a parking lot was that the one he did the sign language one yeah yeah yeah but he also did one of my red carpet and I was just like you know what you didn't have to rip me a new one the way that you did truly so let me find trying to find this I can send it to you I'm like I don't wear okay hey guys today we are looking at my mom's past red carpet okay I'm sending this to you on Instagram you don't have to watch it right now if you don't want to but um I'm cracking up because I'm like you guys have this same sort of're so funny, but like, he also has like those just like really witty things to say.

Yeah, I used to, I used to watch Red Carpet.

So it's just like, I know it's a different time, but I just feel like when Joan was doing it, it was so fun.

Like, I am not one of those people that wants to know like how much your dress costs.

I kind of want to know who made it, but I don't.

Like, I like Joan's honesty of being like,

what the hell do you have on?

Like, no, that's not cute.

This is not what you should have worn.

Like I miss that side of things.

Yeah.

So, you know, my page is really just, you know,

a lighthearted, you know, quick way to go over the red carpet,

but also, you know, give respect to Joan

and how she was very honest about what people were wearing.

So it's giving like constructive criticism with some wit not necessarily a troll you know what I mean like I just feel like yours is like funny like I said if you troll like trolled me about what I was wearing I would laugh and I'd be like okay I'm actually gonna take a mental note for the next time but I don't feel trolled you know what I mean yeah I feel like there's a respectful way of doing things there's definitely like you don't have to go hard on someone you don't have to go in on someone you know in a negative way you can just be like that dress is ugly like girl where'd you get that dress and say in a certain way and go on about your dick yeah yeah it's it's sort of like what we do in group chats or what we should be doing in group chats like we could just like make a quick funny woody comment and then just keep it moving and go on to the next thing but wait i also wrote down because you follow teen mom you follow all the tea about everybody right i love ashley jones i've never had an issue with her but what is the tea because is she on the show or is she not on the show i have that in my notes she's on the show i did see her saying that she wasn't going to be in all the episodes last season because some things happened with her bar so she wasn't in all of them she did announce that on her social that she was only going to be in three episodes because that was a big thing everyone was like where the hell is ashley like i'm watching this for ashley and i think you can kind of tell at at least as an outsider, you would probably know more. From the filming, you can tell like they were trying to figure out how to put more in it without having Ashley and without having certain stories on people.
And it just felt like it didn't feel, I don't know. It didn't like, I didn't like this season.
I wasn't a fan. I feel like it was missing a lot.
I feel like it was a lot of filler episodes. I feel like there's a lot of girls on the show and they're not diving into everybody properly.
So it just wasn't as enjoyable. But for Ashley and Barr, they're getting a divorce unless the divorce is finalized.
Barr is still in prison, I believe, awaiting trial, if I'm not mistaken. Some tapes were released, and on the last episode, they did do a mock of what happened.
Ashley did, like, you know, the behind-the-scenes telling and detailing that she went out on a date, what happened when Barr called, him driving down there, breaking into her house, what happened when the police arrived? They did play the tapes of her mom calling 911.

Yeah, they did play the tapes of her mom calling 911.

So, you know, they did do a little bit of a detail on that on the last episode, just through the mock-up.

And then Ashley did say in the comments,

like, you know, this is a reenactment.

This is not, you know, there's no cameras were there

when Barr, you know, came to my home.

I did a reenactment for the show so I can discuss with you guys what happened wow well I hope that she's okay because that's awful like that's horrible yeah so that was a big thing and honestly I don't know what else is gonna happen after that um I'm not sure if on social media she said anything I believe she tweeted maybe before the last episode where should the next teen mom trip be so in my head she's on the show um I know at least on my page we make it pretty known that she is a favorite just because she's very relatable for a lot of us even though I don't have kids just like her aspirations to be a nurse and all of the things that she's doing very relatable so she is very liked so I hope she's on the show. And me personally, I kind of hope they bring back

some of the teen mom, y'all get pregnant girls and add them because I feel like they have a story too. Yeah, I don't know.
I haven't really kept up with it too much. I still follow Ashley on socials for some reason.
And I don't know if your social media is the same way. But like, I don't ever see the people that I follow, like the people I follow on TikTok and Instagram specifically never show up on my timeline.
And so it's always, I hear like little pieces and bits of information from not just Ashley from Teen Mom, but just all the creators that I follow. And it's kind of annoying because I'm like, obviously I follow them because I want to see more of their content and then it doesn't show up on my timeline.
So I was like, oh, I'll just ask, I'll just ask my girl when she comes on the podcast, you know, what's going on with her i hope that she's okay i actually that makes me want to reach out to her make sure that she's good because like i said i i've i've never really loved you know the bad rap that ashley got on the show i again didn't really know what the the big like people were would say that she was always the problem and i never for me i never saw that like i never saw ashley being personally think that's why she was relatable for me because she was really honest at least to like the viewers of the show like these are my co-workers i don't know them outside the show so you're not gonna see me be lovey-dovey with them you're not gonna see me like oh girl hey giving them hugs i was like that's so real because like this is a show y'all don't live in the same state. I'm sure y'all hang out occasionally, go to events or whatever, but these aren't your girlfriends.
These aren't the girls that's in your group chat that you're telling all your business to. So the relationship that she was portraying to me seemed so real because everyone else is like, oh my God, girl, hey, and I'm sure you guys probably have those relationships, but she's being honest i'm i'm not their friend i'm at work right at least it's what's so interesting about that too is like for a long time that's how the show it that's how it was it was like are we friends are we just co-workers and then some some people really do develop actual friendships where they're like leah and i were i was i would consider consider Leah to have been one of my best friends for a long time.
Like we were going on vacations together. I visited her and, you know, she came to my kids' birthday parties here in Delaware.
I went to Virginia, West Virginia to see her and Jeremy and like also just her. Like, I mean, we knew each other's friends.
And so like, I do think that some people built like stronger actual friendships. But I think overall, I would agree with you like, and agree with ashley as well just like a lot of them are just co-workers really or just acquaintances so i do i do also agree with that but i also i don't know i'm not super close with any of them i talk to kate and ty sometimes which you know i have a good relationship with them i talk to chelsea sometimes um and you know keep up with ashley on social media but yeah i would agree with that like

a lot of them are they are just acquaintances yeah and i think that makes it more relatable

because like when i go to work no i'm not on tv but when i go to work these are my acquaintances

some people maybe i might hang out with and get a drink after work but for the most part like

bye i'm clocking off y'all don't know me outside of this place so i'll catch y'all later you're

like i actually don't want a friendship outside of work because i see enough of you motherfuckers

Thank you. y'all don't know me outside of this place so i'll catch y'all later you're like i actually don't want a friendship outside of work because i see enough of you motherfuckers in the building like no thank you yeah like i'm good like i don't need to do no team building exercises like i'm i'm at work i'm clocked in bye co-worker relationships are so funny because then there's also times at least least in my own personal life, where I'm like, okay, I might hang out with them once or twice outside of like whatever working relationship we have.
And I'm like, wow, like I actually could see us being friends. But then it quickly goes back to just a work friendship relationship.
It's really weird. It's like phases.
I think, you know, like for Lindsay and I have coffee combos, right? And we didn't know each other when we signed those contracts. And now I, and we've gone through periods of time where we like business partners, and then we were like sisters, and then we would go back.
But now I would say like for this last couple years, like we've been really, really good. And like we're, we're friends, we're coworkers, we're all the things.
And so, but I think that's a very unique dynamic that not everybody can have or not everybody wants. Yeah, and I'll say like, cause I've worked in different areas now.
Like my followers know I used to work at AMC and then I did corporate for a little bit. If you're working in a customer service job, those are the people that you're gonna be friends with longer than someone in corporate if I have to be a hundred percent honest because like those are the people you are in the trenches with like they got your bag no matter what so go get a drink with them those are the people that are probably going to be more so your friends uh than somebody you meet in the office like that's not who I'm telling my business to I'll tell my business to the girl that's a cashier like let's talk girl why we standing here for eight hours no facts facts that's like um Grey's Anatomy that type of like closeness I love Grey's Anatomy oh I know I wrote it down and I went I went on your page and I was like oh she's she's going into Grey's Anatomy we have to talk about it because I'm a Grey's Anatomy girly and I was so late to Grey's Anatomy like I started Grey's Anatomy I think when I was pregnant either with Rio or the twins one of them and obsessed with Grey's Anatomy like my kids will even be like oh are you gonna put on your doctor show like are you gonna are you gonna put on your doctor show oh that's mom's doctor show like I'm obsessed with Grey's Anatomy I'm so down bad I started it I probably shouldn't have started like as young as I was but I started it when it started like I was a kid watching ABC Thursday so I have been in locked in for a while and I got my best friend when she was pregnant with my goddaughter I got her to watch it as well so now she's locked in and it's funny because like we have conversations like Mira Christina like which sometimes be like oh she's not gonna talk about it right now she'll talk about it later i know what she'll talk about it's just cool still call me when it's time so it's so relatable and now that i'm older derrick and mirror were not like what i thought they were that was not romantic he had to die and for those that don't know he had to die in order for her to shine um Owen Hunt should not still be alive and Teddy should not still be alive and I stand on that what are your thoughts on Christina because I love Christina and I just wish that she stayed on the show for so much longer I definitely feel like a character like Christina was because again, I don't have kids and my focus is my career.
So seeing someone like Christina being like, no, I'm not having kids. I'm not having kids.
I'm going to be a doctor. This is my focus.
When we have a lot of people, I do think it's positive to have like those, like Mira's character who wants to be a mom and can balance and everything like that. That's very commendable.
But it's cool that we had a Christina that was like this is where my focus is a man is not above my work a man is not above me you're not a better doctor than me like I feel like

Christina was very important and I really wish she could come back i mean i'm just sad that it's like officially meredith is officially done i don't think she's done i didn't watch the last seasons i'm not gonna lie i cried like a baby the last episode uh when they said that there was this was her last season i've seen little snippets her coming back. And it's just not the same to me.
Also, the acting isn't the same. And I don't like the new cameras.
I'm very particular about Grey's. I hold it close to my heart.
I don't like the cameras. I don't like that it looks like it's a set.
It used to look like a hospital. And I really miss the vibe of it looking like a hospital.
But I need to catch up so I I can watch the current season but I just feel like announcing that Mira wasn't going to be on the show anymore and then putting her in bits and pieces they should have just tapped a secret and let us watch it because it turned me off because I was like what am I watching then like I don't want to see that yeah I haven't watched the newest episodes I just had seen that she said that she was done and I was so sad because i love i just love grace anatomy and i don't know i i don't love change i don't like when they switch things up and it's not what it used to be i hate it all i hate it same same like the whole camera thing bailey her personality when they whenever they changed bailey's personality it just started to piss me off i didn't like anything anything about it. I was just over it.
And still to this day, I'm standing firm. I am president of the I Hate Owen Hunt fan club.
I really feel like, why is he still alive after all of these things that everyone else has gone through? Owen Hunt should not still be there. You know what's so funny is like, and this is no shade to his, I don't even know who he is in real like what his name is in real life I only know him as Owen Hunt and I'm wondering if that's why he's still on Grey's because he's so typecasted I saw his little cameo that he made in It Ends With Us and I only knew him as Owen Hunt and I feel that way for a lot of actors and actresses when they're like oh I'm gonna leave this big show and i'm gonna go do x y and z and then you never see them like they'll just stay on the show like we really miss you like come back no like like um jackson jackson avery yes he wants to go do broadway and then he oh a lot of childs he he he he needs to be on i'm pretty sure he owes a lot in child sport um and then the dude that played alex he left and i was like why are you leaving like where are you going come back i don't know i think he said he wanted to do something different and it's like what are you doing different like

just come back it's Grey's Anatomy like you should be riding the Grey's Anatomy train as far as it'll fucking go get that money unless they kill you off go get that buddy I thought they get killed off if they want to leave slash if the things are not working out anymore so the people that ask to be like be written out i don't understand that like i i don't understand because where are you going like i get mayor because honestly i don't even know where they were gonna go with her storyline like she's with the dude yeah yeah yeah and they've had her do so much so i i get mayor taking a small break i get even if christina took

a small break and came back but like girl come back like alex lee izzy like we do not want to see izzy do not pull up with izzy and the two kids like that she had without asking you like let's start there did not ask you to have those kids but come back like we need more doctors we need you come back well i also you know i don't like change so like once i'm connected and committed to certain characters like i just need more like i need you to come back i need things to stay exactly how they are like i don't really need you to like remove yourself you know what i mean yeah and then okay so movie rank i started his three daughters um and i don't know everything about it but so far yeah it's about these three sisters um two are the oldest i believe and then you have the one uh in the house who's staying with the father who's passing he's on hospice um and i haven't gotten super deep into the movie um i'm gonna finish it after i finish them and make make me a review um but i totally love the sister who is played by she was in or just a new black um this is scripted and is it based on a true story or is it just like for funsies it's for funsies it's a movie um don't watch it if you're in a sad girl era um but Natasha um from Orange is the New Black is in it and so far I love her character because she just wants to smoke like she just want to get high her sisters who she don't hang with have come home because her dad is dying on hospice and she lives in this house where this man lives in the room next to her dying on hospice the sister she can't stand is there and she just want to get high in peace start her day she's like i have three blunts a day i smoke in the room next to her dying on hospice. The sister, she can't stand us there.
And she just want to get high in peace, start her day. She's like, I have three blunts a day.
I smoke in the morning at three in a day. And I go about my day.
And her sister's like, go outside. It's cold outside, girl.
I smoke in the house. Like, please get up out of here.
What? Where's that one on? Netflix. Netflix.
Okay. It's on Netflix.
Okay. Got that one down.
Wrote that one down. Have you tried Ch tried Chim Crazy no so everyone keeps telling me about Chim Crazy and I heard on the canceled podcast are you familiar with canceled podcast yeah okay so I heard I think it was Brooke telling Tana about Chim Crazy it's like the same creator from what was it the lion no the tiger king but now it's about chimps.
Yeah. Like, give me the random.
I don't.

Look, my followers will yell at me about certain shows.

Love Island was a show because I'm very against dating shows.

I just can't get it to them.

But I did watch Love Island once they told me.

Chimp Crazy, they've been yelling at me for a minute.

And I'm very against it.

I started the first episode. It's on Max.

It's on the Max app.

I started the first episode.

And then the lady started talking about, like, the chip was premature premature or something so she started breastfeeding it the same time she was

breastfeeding her baby and the dad was like i walked in and she was just breastfeeding i was like girl get that monkey off your titty like what are we talking about and so i turned it off and i haven't gone back to it.

I know you're fucking lying. I haven't gone back.

And they're like,

no,

no,

I can't make this up.

I can't make it up.

Right.

It was the first,

breastfeeding a chimpanzee.

20 minutes.

No,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Breastfeeding a chimpanzee is crazy. Baby on one, chimp on the other.
And she was like, he couldn't have formula

because he was a premature chimp.

So she gave him some breast milk.

She did what she knew best.

And I turned it off.

I was like, I'm good.

But according to them, it gets better.

And not better as in a better storyline,

but better as more crazy shit happens.

So I'm going gonna go back but

i'm gonna take my time you're like i'm absolutely not in a rush to watch this woman breastfeed a chimpanzee like i love chimpanzees as much as the next person but do i think that we should be breastfeeding them probably not i don't think so unsanitary unsanitary and i'm not gonna believe that you properly like cleaned your nip after breastfeeding the monkey because you put a monkey on your tits so i'm not gonna believe that you're you probably like oh it's just like putting a baby on there like i'm not gonna believe you sanitized properly so i'm judging i'm judging hard and i don't care what the Okay. So we have Jim crazy on max.
She's breastfeeding chimps. What other, what other tea do you have for me? I know that I get my stuff from you.
So tell me more. So Amelia Perez is coming to Netflix and it's starring Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana.
And those are just the two, like, you know, main names that I can say that people are like, Oh, those two. And from what I got, the movie is going to be a Chicago film festival and I'm going to go try to sneak and see it.
But it comes to Netflix. I believe it's November 1st, if I'm not mistaken.
And it's also going to go to select theaters. It's in Spanish.
It's a TV. It's not a TV.
It's a movie. It's a musical drama comedy.
And basically, there's a man that's in a cartel who's married to selena gomez's character his life goal was always to transition into a woman and to get out of the cartel so he contacts zoe sordana's character to get him out of it um a whole bunch of other stuff happens of course i haven't seen movie again uh but basically the family thinks he died he is off living as a woman out of the cartel wants to see his family or her family now calls selena gomez the wife who's grieving with two kids and thinking that her husband is dead and it's like hey yeah i miss the kids and you i want to come see you so a whole bunch of stuff ensues um they got like a 10-15 minute standing ovation at pan's film festival so it's up there for oscar contenders, Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldana are set to possibly be nominated. And if they're both nominated, I believe they'll be breaking Oscars history as two of the first Hispanics in the same category for that nomination.
And then I'm really behind Selena Gomez because I just love Selena Gomez. So I'm hoping this is very big for her and she finally gets her moment.
She should. That sounds amazing.
I will absolutely be watching that. And I had no idea.
Is this based on a true story or is this like not? That part, I don't know. I don't know.
And it's going to be all in Spanish, which is fine. People, you guys should know how to read subtitles.
But it's all in Spanish and Selena Gomez is going to to have a musical performance which i'm really excited about um and i saw some little snippets but i don't know if it's based on a true story that part i don't know but if it is that's even crazier that sounds even more lit i was going to ask if you got a chance to watch um i think it's called child star demi lovato's um film on hulu yes i'm a very big demi lovato fan so i've seen all of her documentaries and because of that for me a lot of stuff was like things that i already knew about her um and i thought it was going to be a little bit more dramatic but again that's just me uh wildly going into it and having my own assumptions it was very well done it done um it was demi lovato's directorial debut for those that don't know. Christina Ritchie was in it.
Kenan Thompson, Raven Simone, Drew Barrymore. And she was just doing like sit down interviews.
Yeah, and she was just talking to them. It was very like more so focused on the federal laws that should be passed for child stars so that their money is properly taken care of and properly saved that was more of like the big takeaway for me it wasn't like quiet on set where it was like you know a lot of sexual things happen um they did talk about you know alcohol and drug abuse at a young age um but it wasn't how child star was i mean not child star uh quiet on set was um it was very different and like i said the more so focused was the fact that they want these laws for you know in all 50 states for child stars so that their money is properly put up first so really quick on that I did see that Demi Lovato was at the new bill that was passed in California protecting child influencers.
So these people who are having TikTok accounts and all kinds of accounts like social media and YouTube and I guess TikTok, Instagram, social media, the new bill, I guess we'll call it, Newsom signs bills protecting earnings of child influencers. And I know that Demi Lovato was saying that, you know, the child influencer is the new child like TV movie star kind of thing.
You know what I mean with this new generation? Because I think that social media is kind of taking over what we know as the adults that were child stars on TV and movies. And so it says that a lot has changed since Hollywood's early days.
But in California, our laser focus on protecting kids from exploitation remains the same. In old Hollywood, child actors were exploited in 2024.
It's now child influencers. And so today that modern exploitation ends with two new laws that protect young influencers on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other media platforms.
Legislation was supported by signer Demi Lovato, whose recent documentary Child Star probes through the experiences kids have working at a young age in the entertainment industry. In order to build a better future for the next generation of child stars, we need to put protections in place for minors working in the digital space.
That's what Demi had said in a statement. And she says, I'm grateful to Governor Newsom for taking action with this update to the Coogan Law that will ensure children featured on social media are granted agency when they come of age and are properly compensated for the use of their name and likeness.
And that's something that we still see. I mean, even in reality TV, it makes me so I mean, you remember the whole Mama June thing that just recently, it was like this year or last year that was going on and not having any money.
And Alana, Honey Boo Boo was talking about, you know, she, her money was used or whatever. And then I responded and I'm, I'm a huge, huge advocate for kids that are on TV and on social media and my kids included, right? Like my son, he gets paid.
Isaac runs his own social media now with my overt with, I'm overseeing all of it and like approving certain things but um my kids will get every single dime and then some of their money like there will never be a world where I don't care how fucking broke I am I'm not using my kids money like I am where I am because of my kids and I just can't wrap my head around parents who are taking their kids money or using their kids money. Or I mean, remember Jojo Siwa recently within the last year or two had that whole conversation about her mom and she was kind of financing her whole family.
Like that will never happen. I teach my son Isaac now like, okay, when you get paid from Meta, when you get paid from TikTok, I need your ass to get on your fucking accounting and I need you to take out your taxes and put it in your in your tax savings account and then i need you to put some in savings and then i need you to put some in your checking and then you have a trust fund that we add to and then you get paid you know every year from me and and and that's what you know what it is and we do all of that and i just can't from the day that i signed contracts i made sure my kids always had their fucking.
I cannot wrap my head around the idea of parents using their kids' money. I just can't.
Yeah. And I also think even to, this isn't on a financial side, but like even Ruby Frankie, she was a, I believe she was Mormon and she was abusing her children who she had on YouTube.
And I remember watching a few documentaries. so just even you able to see the things that she was doing and saying to them and people were calling for help i think there needs to be you know some laws and some protection around those things like if you can visibly see and hear that you know she's causing harm to her children or verbally abusive there should be something that should be in play because like she's doing this on youtube so what is is she doing when the cameras aren't around? And for the financial side, it's like, I feel like some people don't go into it to make your children happy.
There are some kids who want to be on TV, some kids that want to be in movies. That's their whole plan.
And you know, their parents help them. But some parents are forcefully making their kids do it because it's their dream.
It's something that them as a parent, they wanted to do their whole life. So I think there needs to also be a conversation about momagers and dadagers that aren't doing this for the right reasons and somebody else being played to assist with those things when it's seeing that those parents aren't fit to do those things.
I just can't imagine a world where like, just because I don't do it, I cannot. It's sort of like the Diddy stuff.
Like I can't imagine keeping my mouth shut. The Vince McMahon stuff.
Like I can't imagine like just being a bystander and keeping my mouth shut over these like insane travesties that are going on. You know what I'm saying? So like same thing for kids.
Like I can't imagine a world where like I force my kids to be on social media. And that's sort of why I'm more careful about the babies because I've already had several kids.
And like, I see, you know, my oldest son likes it and he wants to be an influencer and he wants to do those things. So I feel like with the right guidance, it can be okay.
And Lincoln, you know, he, he sort of wants to do it, but doesn't really, he doesn't care if he's on social media. And so I don't make him participate and say Lux wants to be in movies.
He tells me he's be a movie star he tells me he's gonna be in WWE like you know those are certain things and I kind of have to but I can't imagine a world where like I don't know I kind of believe Lux and Creed when they tell me they're gonna do big things like in movies and tv like I kind of believe them because they are um they're highly entertaining and also just like really funny but i i i believe them but i just can't imagine a world where i'm like forcing my kids into that you know what i mean like so i i think it's harder for us to understand when we're not doing that you know yeah for sure and especially because like i'm doing the influencing and content thing now i couldn't imagine doing it as a kid like yeah we played around with you know, when YouTube was just becoming a thing, but it wasn't as serious and, you know, amplified as it is now. So I couldn't imagine doing it then, you know, not having the education.
Luckily, you know, your kids specifically have, you have the education that you can provide. Like, I couldn't imagine doing it without the education and, you know, the financial literacy that you need to even do those things.
So it's a whole different thing. And I definitely think a lot of laws and I'm glad for a lot of the documentaries that are coming out as well to bring light, especially because like Paris Hilton had a documentary and you find out more stuff even about Paris Hilton and the things that she went through.
So I think there's a lot educational tools in the documentary especially like the child star the pop culture phenomenon documentaries to teach us for the future so that we can have more protection for future children and influencers oh wow influencers are like a future thing and I don't know what you're acting other shows for election season coming up i recommend i just finished scandal so i recommend scandal for those that haven't seen it but designated survivor is also a really really good show and it's on that place um and it's literally a designated survivor um the capital gets blown up and then this guy becomes president like and that is not at all what he was going for uh i think he was working in housing or something like that he was not supposed to be in this but it's really good um it just tells about him being president um what happens if democracy is you know in trouble and if all of the senators and those in the house of representatives if they pass if the current president current president pass and, you know, the order of secession is able to take place, who is now in charge? So I think it's a good, you know, pre-election, you know, if you're trying to get into politics, but maybe TV show. Because I always think there's a TV show, movie or documentary for anything.
And How to Die Alone with watwell so funny so funny if you haven't watched it it's about 30 minutes i believe there's eight episodes and i believe the last two episodes come on next week and just like even the first episode if i can it's her birthday she doesn't have any friends her best friend rather go be with a guy that he met in the bathroom and so he lies. She goes and she goes shopping at Ikea.
She eats some food. She's arguing with a rat.
The furniture falls on her and she chokes. Goes to the hospital.
On her birthday almost died. A lady next to her is like, girl, you gotta live your life.
A lady next to her is like, what is that on like what's the um network it's on hulu so you can watch how to die alone on hulu how to die alone on hulu i'm i'm writing all these down because i'm maybe i can cover them in depth i mean i won't be funny and like you but i i also saw if anyone likes, um, special forces or something like that, there's another, there's a new show. I think it's on CBS.
I'll tell you what it is. Hold on.
It's coming to CBS and it's called the summit and, um, it's giving special forces vibes. I'm not entirely sure it's giving like special forces the challenge like that whole thing it's giving those types of vibes okay okay and then kevin can fuck himself have you ever watched that it's on netflix no i've never even heard of that okay you have to watch it so for the husband it's like a comedy like the lights are bright the crowd is laughing but for the white everything's a drama like it goes dim her life is very depressing so you get to see everything that plays and she's trying to kill her husband less but again everything's a sitcom for kevin because life you know is shits and giggles for him but for her her shit's like really depressed she got roaches and she want to kill her husband because he's an asshole so i think it's a really good show because they play on each other oh my god no i've never that one's on what is that one on um netflix netflix netflix yep okay i'm gonna put together a list and if you feel like collab you don't have to but if you feel like collabing with killer like my uh my network i want to put together a list of like all of your recommendations for all of these shows so that way we can have people go watch them and they can follow your content if you cover any of them yes i wrote them all down i saw that you went to the tiktok creator studio or whatever that's really awesome Are you working on any new projects coming up? Right now? No, we are in the so I'm in the emerging creator program.
I also was just invited into black TikTok or accepted, I should say into black TikTok. So I was able to go to the headquarters tour, see everything really get inspired, really get to meet some other creators as well.
It was really cool. And their team is so nice.
Like, if I can stress how nice they are, they were so friendly, so helpful. Like, they just want to, like, make sure you grow.
So it was a really cool experience. I have hopefully have a lot of stuff coming up with my participation in the programs.
I am going to, I didn't even tell my followers this, but once they watch this podcast, and they'll know. I'm going to CultureCon in New York.
I was invited to CultureCon in New York City. So I'm going to be able to go there.
I'm going to do some red carpet stuff. I get to go to some screenings.
I'm really excited. So this is like my first like actual trip and actually getting out there due to my content.
So very exciting and a little nerve wracking, but also I'm able to go with my best friends. So you know, that's gonna shake a lot of those nerves I might have going in there.
Culture Con is so exciting. Okay, so also, I don't know if you follow Kiara Lewis on TikTok at all, but she she is in the book talk world.
So not super like pop culture or anything like that. but she you should link up with her because i feel like like two worlds colliding with like tv movie and books that could be a really good collab too and i know that she just yeah and i know that she just announced her new um podcast with the unwell network with alex cooper and i feel like that could be really cool because they do a lot of, there's a ton of movie or TV series adaptations to books.
So like you guys should definitely connect. I reached out to have her on my podcast or to do a collab or whatever, but that could be a really good fit for you because she's big on TikTok.
She's big into books, but they're doing the adaptations, which would be cool. Like you cover the book or sorry, you cover the movie, she covers the book kind of thing.
That could be really cool. That'd be cool.
I'll send you her TikTok now so that you can like look for her or whatever. Thank you.
I'm definitely into meeting as many people as possible and how many doors can open. And I'm really just happy that people like this ADHD flavored content that I'm putting out for them and that I've been able to build like my own little community that seems to love, you know, how I give recaps for movies, TV shows and documentaries and WWE and pop culture.
So whatever. No, they're so funny.
I fucking love all of your commentary. And Kiera is in New York.
So that's why i had said that but um i will i'm gonna put together a little list and i'm gonna tag you in it or we could collab on socials and then um thank you so much for coming on barely fucking famous i'm so excited and i hope you all the best in all of your success on social media and i'm really you'll have to let me know how CultureCon goes.
