Busy: Just Browning butter, to whatever degree she did is like.

00:52:12.950 → 00:52:28.429

Tall Girl: It gives it a nutty flavor, but no way in hell would it ever taste like caramel, or like the actual crack with the chocolate and the caramel and the marshmallow like. It's just it. There is no place on earth even with massive brain injuries where those 2 things have like

Busy: or the the history of where the trends have been?

00:53:03.210 → 00:53:04.740

Busy: When you think of those.

00:53:06.380 → 00:53:18.690

Tall Girl: I am so glad planking came to an end, because if I saw one more person on this earth lying stiffly at some like, I used to work downtown Manhattan so like people. Planking everywhere was just like.

Tall Girl: Look, Parkour, at least you've climbed 2 floors up like there's an accomplishment at the end of Parkour.

00:53:55.010 → 00:54:03.329

Tall Girl: or at the very least, if it's bad Parkour I get to be entertained by it like Parkour runs into a brick wall. I at least got a laugh.

00:54:04.720 → 00:54:14.349

Busy: I think when I think about some of the earlier Internet, you know, up trends. Or also I would I would kind of include with that videos and memes that

00:54:53.960 → 00:54:54.620

Busy: For the.

00:54:54.620 → 00:54:59.810

Tall Girl: Really bad. It's like when I can't think of things like she runs through my head, and I'm like, Oh.

00:55:00.280 → 00:55:02.500

Busy: Who is it, Charlie? The Unicorn is that.

00:55:02.500 → 00:55:07.023

WellRead: Yeah, Charlie, the unicorn. Charlie bit my finger. That's another good one.

Busy: Vaguely.

00:55:31.029 → 00:55:32.710

Busy: No, I feel like.

00:55:32.710 → 00:55:36.879

Tall Girl: We've lived relatively close to each other most of our lives, and yet, like

00:55:37.300 → 00:55:39.851

Tall Girl: the moose one you were talking about earlier.

00:55:41.030 → 00:55:45.439

Busy: trends or memes, or whatever you want to call it that everyone kind of.

00:56:17.940 → 00:56:25.720

Tall Girl: Harlem shake, which I still have. Ptsd, when a video comes up and the Harlem shake, music starts, and I'm just like No, no.

00:56:25.720 → 00:56:31.730

Busy: I remember that being like like, what was everyone just dancing? Or they just.

00:56:31.860 → 00:56:46.169

Tall Girl: Originally it was to get into the video people did. And then they actually invited people into the Harlem shake video to like be a part of it, and then it was just everywhere for that summer it was just like the trauma song.

00:56:47.080 → 00:56:48.280

Busy: I don't know about that.

00:56:48.280 → 00:56:50.359

00:56:53.240 → 00:56:54.809

Busy: But everyone did dancing.

00:56:54.810 → 00:56:59.380

Tall Girl: I mean, I can't, really. It's just. It's shaking your shoulders and then going crazy like there's no.

00:57:00.130 → 00:57:00.720

Busy: Hmm.

00:57:01.470 → 00:57:04.909

Tall Girl: It's not like the Macarena, which was pre-internet, but.

00:57:05.380 → 00:57:06.950

Busy: We don't. We don't want to speak about that one.

00:57:06.950 → 00:57:08.430

WellRead: Oh, the Macarena.

00:57:08.430 → 00:57:14.409

Busy: That's not cause. As soon as you say, Macarena, who's coming right behind that is Mambo number 5.

00:57:14.410 → 00:57:15.150

WellRead: Yes.

00:57:17.660 → 00:57:19.549

Tall Girl: Little bit of Monica in my life. Yeah.

00:57:20.050 → 00:57:20.760

Busy: Yeah.

00:57:21.650 → 00:57:26.109

Tall Girl: There's also what's the gangnum style like? He's still going.

00:57:27.050 → 00:57:27.600

Tall Girl: Oh, my God!

00:57:27.600 → 00:57:35.019

Tall Girl: I've never actually gotten really pissed at that one. It's like he is still going on stage and living that life, I'm like. You know what, sir. One good song.

00:57:35.020 → 00:57:35.840

WellRead: Good on you.

00:57:35.840 → 00:57:45.419

Tall Girl: For a lifetime. I personally love a rickroll. I will never not love a rickroll. There is never a moment where Rickroll will not make me ridiculously happy.

00:57:46.300 → 00:57:49.399

Busy: It doesn't. I'm like, meh, that never

00:57:49.970 → 00:57:54.660

Busy: correct. I'm like, if it happens, it happens. If, like, someone actually does Rick roll me

00:57:54.860 → 00:57:58.460

Busy: like, oh, okay, like props on you. But I'm like, Meh.

00:57:59.720 → 00:58:00.330

Busy: It doesn't.

00:58:00.330 → 00:58:01.950

WellRead: Know what I'm happy about ending.

00:58:02.220 → 00:58:02.760

Busy: What?

00:58:02.760 → 00:58:04.460

WellRead: Those ice bucket trends.

00:58:06.390 → 00:58:22.480

Tall Girl: I liked when people called out, like everybody they've ever met, it wasn't like, Oh, I'm gonna call out, you know, like I challenged Sally and Tom. It's like all the people I knew in high school by name, first, st last, and middle, and then, like all the people I've ever worked, and you're like this, video is 48 min.

00:58:22.810 → 00:58:26.490

Busy: The last 30 seconds. Is you getting iced.

00:58:27.340 → 00:58:32.730

Tall Girl: I don't know this. Many people I've never met this many people. How are we challenging everybody?

00:58:34.540 → 00:58:39.929

Tall Girl: But it did run like raise a ridiculous amount of money. I think it was like a hundred 1 million dollars, or something like.

00:58:41.390 → 00:58:44.579

WellRead: Yeah, but for the amount of people who are actually doing it.

00:58:45.450 → 00:58:47.050

Tall Girl: Oh, yeah, oh, no, I mean.

00:58:47.630 → 00:58:55.820

Tall Girl: but it's like those videos on Tiktok, like my grandmother taught me this. I'm like that is a definite sign of Never do. Whatever follows in this video.

00:58:57.320 → 00:58:58.060

Busy: What do you mean?

00:58:59.240 → 00:59:10.269

Tall Girl: But also, like the number of people who run around the neighborhood, running like raising money for Unicef like Unicef, would have solved the world's problems. If all the kids who are collecting for Unicef had actually turned in unicef money.

00:59:13.310 → 00:59:18.700

Busy: So what other trends have you seen recently that

00:59:20.390 → 00:59:24.790

Busy: maybe make you scratch your head or.

00:59:26.370 → 00:59:30.319

Tall Girl: Well, I mean Elon, and is meme. I'll never understand that.

00:59:30.960 → 00:59:40.820

Tall Girl: And then everybody else started saying, I is meme, and I'm like, I don't think he knew what he was saying when he said it. So when you're making a video saying I is meme, I know, even less.

00:59:42.110 → 00:59:43.250

Busy: I'm lost.

00:59:44.460 → 00:59:48.190

Busy: When did what did he do? I try not to pay attention to him.

00:59:49.220 → 00:59:55.570

Tall Girl: I think it was the day of the chainsaw. He got up on stage for something, and and

00:59:55.940 → 01:00:01.520

Tall Girl: vitamin K. That he was he just like with this full chest was like, I is meme.

01:00:03.390 → 01:00:08.059

Tall Girl: Nobody got it like I think he was expecting applause, and nobody clapped.

01:00:08.690 → 01:00:16.159

Tall Girl: and with his full chest. Did he say it? But now there are other people who create videos saying, I is meme, and I'm like, I get it even less.

01:00:16.970 → 01:00:21.060

Busy: Yeah, we could just not talk about that one that could just not be.

01:00:23.790 → 01:00:32.900

Tall Girl: I will say I'm still very attached to the pasta feta bake. I wasn't happy that Feta ran out for most grocery stores in Covid, but it was good.

01:00:35.280 → 01:00:41.370

Busy: Yeah, I I think sometimes I I think one of the things I both like and don't like with

01:00:41.820 → 01:00:47.829

Busy: some. If we're gonna go with recipe trends is everyone's need to just throw everything into one.

01:00:48.510 → 01:00:49.340

WellRead: Oh, one dish!

01:00:49.340 → 01:00:52.720

Busy: The one thing and bake it

01:00:52.850 → 01:00:55.609

Busy: or something, and I just sit there. Sometimes I'm like.

01:00:55.840 → 01:01:06.450

Busy: why, we do it like in some hands, on some, you know. I'm like, all right. Some of them make sense. Okay, this makes sense. We could do this, but the ones that they're like

01:01:07.430 → 01:01:21.900

Busy: they try to put everything into the pan that you know the casserole dish that they're going to use, and they're trying to save it to not mix, I'm like, but then you're mixing it, and things are getting outside the pan, and I don't understand why we are constantly putting raw pasta

01:01:22.700 → 01:01:27.240

Busy: and water or liquid, and then covering it and make like

01:01:28.100 → 01:01:31.110

Busy: that. One always gets me a bit hard

01:01:32.640 → 01:01:37.642

Busy: and and hard in a sense like hard to to manage, not hard, excited.

01:01:38.000 → 01:01:46.609

WellRead: Gotcha. Yeah. The the one dishes. I always end up using more than one dish and like 10 more ingredients than

01:01:47.170 → 01:01:50.810

WellRead: the recipe actually calls for, because there's not enough flavoring.

01:01:51.140 → 01:01:51.880

Busy: And you know.

01:01:51.880 → 01:01:52.890

WellRead: In any of these things.

01:01:53.270 → 01:02:12.440

Busy: But also some of them like. If you had just taken a second to use a bowl and mix some of the things together beforehand. It wouldn't look so separated and disturbing when it's done, because it looks like it didn't mix well, because that's the point of some of these items, and it didn't. And it's just like globs of like

01:02:12.580 → 01:02:19.400

Busy: cream cheese, or whatever they're putting in there together, and I just sit there and go. Please stop, please.

01:02:19.400 → 01:02:34.660

Tall Girl: Every crock pot recipe that starts with 2 bricks of cream cheese is an automatic like. I will not make this. I'm sure it's delicious. I'm sure it's fatty and delicious, but like automatically, if your 1st ingredient is 2 bricks of cream cheese, I'm like I'm out. I cannot. I cannot.

01:02:34.900 → 01:02:36.870

Busy: There are dips that are good with that.

01:02:37.400 → 01:02:52.060

Tall Girl: No like crock pot recipes like a pound of chicken, 3 bricks of cream cheese. I'm like, what what are we doing? 6 cans of condensed Campbell's soup. I'm like, no, even your cardiologist feels through the force that you should not be making this dish.

01:02:53.080 → 01:03:03.899

Tall Girl: That is just way. Too much sodium per. Of course it tastes delicious. It's 8,000 milligrams of sodium. It's designed to make your body go. Yum, it's not good. It can't be good.

01:03:05.070 → 01:03:08.989

Busy: But there, there are some that make sense like, you know. I know we're kind of

01:03:09.560 → 01:03:15.829

Busy: tall girl, and I don't know if you've gotten into it as much, red. The the dense bean salads.

01:03:16.720 → 01:03:17.620

Busy: We love it.

01:03:17.620 → 01:03:23.759

Tall Girl: Busy can't wait for this trend to end, because, like

01:03:23.940 → 01:03:26.829

Tall Girl: Because, my God! Do I send her like 3 recipes a day.

01:03:27.010 → 01:03:29.989

Tall Girl: She is beaned out from me like.

01:03:30.770 → 01:03:33.280

Tall Girl: bless her! She doesn't say no, but like.

01:03:33.740 → 01:03:37.219

Busy: No, because I don't mind them, because I I enjoy

01:03:37.510 → 01:03:47.380

Busy: not always having to use meat as proteins and having other options. So, seeing what some people do, makes you think of things. So I get that for recipe

01:03:47.530 → 01:03:48.585

Busy: trends.

01:03:51.320 → 01:03:54.560

Busy: What other one.

01:03:54.560 → 01:03:56.330

Tall Girl: So, girl. Dinner.

01:03:56.530 → 01:04:03.160

Tall Girl: which I feel is just something we've done for forever. But it finally got a name, is now turning into the grazing plate.

01:04:03.490 → 01:04:19.090

Tall Girl: And honestly, I love the fact that everybody's like, Yeah, I don't always come home and cook a 4 course dinner, especially if I'm just a person, and I'm effing tired, and sometimes you just want, like in the summer cheese, some kind of a meat and a cut up apple.

01:04:19.290 → 01:04:23.349

Tall Girl: That is, that is fine. That is a dinner. That is exactly what I'm going to eat.

01:04:23.920 → 01:04:37.870

Tall Girl: I like the grazing plate because it kind of just like sets you up for the day. It takes one extra thing off your plate like in the morning. I just put some sweet stuff, some salty stuff, some carby stuff like together, and then for the rest of the day I got nothing to do.

01:04:38.737 → 01:04:40.100

Busy: Think, and that's also, I think.

01:04:40.290 → 01:05:03.460

Busy: you know not everyone has a big dinner in general for their life. Some people are more like a big breakfast, some people more big lunch. So I think, like the idea that you have to have this full meal and guilt it into at least from, you know here like you didn't eat any fruit. No, I had like I took some slices of Cheddar. I may had an apple when I was

01:05:03.880 → 01:05:06.640

Busy: living in Dallas. One of the ones that became

01:05:06.870 → 01:05:12.600

Busy: a regular rotation meal for me was like taking but

01:05:13.050 → 01:05:16.000

Busy: pre-made crescent rolls that you make at home.

01:05:16.190 → 01:05:21.090

Busy: and putting a slab of Brie in it, rolling them up, popping them in the toaster.

01:05:21.590 → 01:05:31.899

Busy: and then having some raspberry jam with them, and that would be my dinner, and I was completely fine with it. So I'm all on board with the this grazing trend. That's

01:05:32.220 → 01:05:33.449

Busy: cool. Let's do that.

01:05:33.830 → 01:05:39.659

WellRead: I think there's something to be said for trends from like a sociological standpoint. Yes, some of them are stupid.

01:05:40.240 → 01:05:42.550

WellRead: but also some of them are very validating.

01:05:43.280 → 01:05:43.950

Busy: Such as.

01:05:43.950 → 01:05:52.940

WellRead: Like you find out. Well, for instance, this girl dinner thing, you find out that you're not the only one who does this. And suddenly you feel, oh, okay, I'm not alone.

01:05:53.340 → 01:05:57.709

WellRead: I'm not weird, because a whole lot of other people do this thing as well.

01:05:58.180 → 01:06:05.730

WellRead: So yeah, I think they can be very validating when the trend goes well.

01:06:06.700 → 01:06:12.930

Tall Girl: I will say the one thing Tiktok's been very good about is like finding people with a commonality of like tiny pinky toenail, like

01:06:13.190 → 01:06:23.550

Tall Girl: people who thought they were completely unusual. Tiktok is like I've never seen your toe, but I know that you are of the tiny toenail variety like here are your people.

01:06:24.100 → 01:06:24.780

Tall Girl: It's

01:06:25.200 → 01:06:31.110

Tall Girl: yeah. It has been validating for a lot of people like that thing that I thought made me weird is actually the thing that, like

01:06:31.670 → 01:06:34.850

Tall Girl: 50% of the other people do have whatever

01:06:35.110 → 01:06:43.709

Tall Girl: I love the viral food terrors. When people like publicly post like it's not always perfect. It's not always instagrammable. It's not always like

01:06:43.970 → 01:06:45.699

Tall Girl: just getting a meal

01:06:45.700 → 01:06:54.550

Tall Girl: time burning down the kitchen like, Thank the Lord, because in a world of perfection the ones that are like, Yeah, this doesn't work or like, no, that doesn't happen.

01:06:54.890 → 01:07:00.295

Tall Girl: There's a guy and his girlfriend who like make those viral recipes and half their time. They're just like

01:07:00.750 → 01:07:06.179

Tall Girl: Don't, no. I wait for them to review it before I will try it, because I'm like.

01:07:06.750 → 01:07:09.219

Tall Girl: you know what? Yeah, go for. It.

01:07:09.750 → 01:07:13.880

WellRead: Yeah. It's it's the food taster. Right?

01:07:14.240 → 01:07:16.079

Tall Girl: So you don't get poisoned.

01:07:17.500 → 01:07:23.529

Tall Girl: You know how many people have like posted that they got sick from that trader Joe's raw salmon sushi hack, and I was like.

01:07:23.530 → 01:07:27.050

Busy: Oh, I, moving past.

01:07:27.050 → 01:07:27.840

Tall Girl: Didn't know

01:07:28.480 → 01:07:33.979

Tall Girl: but thank you for posting that you were violently ill for the past few days, because that that trend was not.

01:07:34.440 → 01:07:35.270

Tall Girl: and.

01:07:36.840 → 01:07:45.139

Busy: I also like sometimes when the trends are, you know, right now on Tiktok, I've seen the past couple of weeks a lot about the percolator

01:07:45.440 → 01:07:46.130

Busy: and.

01:07:46.130 → 01:07:48.150

WellRead: Oh, yeah. Stuff from.

01:07:48.150 → 01:07:55.240

Busy: When the when people under hold hold on, don't people under

01:07:55.420 → 01:08:09.300

Busy: 20 or like 23 are doing it, and they're doing it in some way, and I don't know why. And then people of the 40 45 or older generation are getting on here like, please sit down

01:08:09.760 → 01:08:24.059

Busy: and don't disrespect that which is sacred, and then come to find out. You know we grew up East Coast, that there is also a difference in like how it was done in Chicago. And also now it becomes again also like, Oh, okay, we have the regional.

01:08:24.170 → 01:08:25.820

Busy: because I, you know.

01:08:25.990 → 01:08:35.870

Busy: saw it as one way. And then, you see, people regionally from other. I was like, Okay, you know. And now people regionally of the older generations are having like throw downs. I'm like.

01:08:36.630 → 01:08:41.540

Busy: Okay, I'm down for this. I could. I can get behind. But sometimes the dance trends when they take

01:08:41.689 → 01:08:53.009

Busy: a song like you had you know, Twyla had a couple of songs. Am I saying her name? I think that's it. The water dance trends and they do stuff. And I'm just like I'm trying to understand?

01:08:53.290 → 01:09:01.660

Busy: It's not based off their music videos. It's not dance based on maybe choreography they're doing during a concert.

01:09:02.810 → 01:09:06.900

Busy: How are you come like one person creates a a choreography

01:09:07.020 → 01:09:13.010

Busy: for. And also it's a trend. And everyone's sweeping. And it's also like, Okay, why not.

01:09:13.399 → 01:09:17.579

Tall Girl: I personally enjoy the younger generation that's like everclear.

01:09:18.269 → 01:09:19.839

Tall Girl: This looks interesting.

01:09:20.739 → 01:09:24.889

Tall Girl: And then you watch them basically die. And you're like, Oh.

01:09:25.339 → 01:09:28.839

Tall Girl: oh, at least you'll understand a reference when you know.

01:09:29.359 → 01:09:30.469

Busy: Or when people.

01:09:43.040 → 01:09:45.769

Tall Girl: it's jet fuel. Enjoy.

01:09:46.950 → 01:09:52.990

Busy: Yeah, my, my body was one that was okay. They were clear, like, people would die. And I just.

01:09:53.140 → 01:10:05.680

Busy: I've if it's going to help people. It probably won't help me. And if it's gonna hurt others, my body's like we got this so like, I was one of those people that could drink the ever clear. I was fine.

01:10:05.820 → 01:10:13.449

Busy: and then and I mean like straight, not just like in a punch, like I would take it straight sometimes and be fine.

01:10:13.580 → 01:10:18.439

Busy: And but yeah, no, when when kids are trying stuff, or

01:10:19.010 → 01:10:24.819

Busy: or recently, also, I've seen a lot of kids listening to their parents music, and they think that like

01:10:26.680 → 01:10:29.570

Busy: Wap is bad, or what is it.

01:10:29.570 → 01:10:32.840

Tall Girl: The thongsong and a few others. They're like, this is terrible. I'm like.

01:10:33.400 → 01:10:34.040

Busy: Wait!

01:10:34.040 → 01:10:38.309

Tall Girl: This is what we listen to at our 5th grade dance.

01:10:38.760 → 01:10:42.289

Busy: That's right. The thongsong, or.

01:10:42.900 → 01:10:46.719

Tall Girl: Although you'll now hear parents who like sing the thong song to their baby.

01:10:47.510 → 01:10:56.330

Tall Girl: We're just like rock if I pay, I'm like what? No, no, this is not a soothing no, no, any other song.

01:10:57.489 → 01:11:00.780

Busy: What was the other one has? I could hear.

01:11:01.250 → 01:11:04.189

Busy: Put it in your mouth, and kids are listening.

01:11:04.190 → 01:11:04.690

Tall Girl: Thank you.

01:11:05.985 → 01:11:06.680

Tall Girl: No.

01:11:06.680 → 01:11:22.110

Busy: And they're looking at their parents horrified, and I just had tears laughing like before your parents made you. They were getting down, my child, and I like seeing some of those when the kids are right now listening.

01:11:22.110 → 01:11:23.310

WellRead: Yeah, those are funny.

01:11:23.680 → 01:11:33.970

Tall Girl: A mother daughter. She showed her daughter. Hello, by Lionel Richie! And she's watching the music video with her mother, and she's like stalker.

01:11:34.100 → 01:11:41.150

Tall Girl: Stalker vibes like she is so viscerally upset. How is this legal?

01:11:43.970 → 01:11:49.630

Tall Girl: Oh, when you look at it through the modern lens? Yes, it is terrifying that this was romance.

01:11:52.330 → 01:11:55.149

Busy: I mean, a lot of that is.

01:11:55.320 → 01:12:00.080

Tall Girl: I will say it broke my soul when I saw the video of the kids trying to figure out a rotary phone.

01:12:00.590 → 01:12:06.790

Tall Girl: I was like. Just give it a best effort. You have to at least try the spinny spin like how could you not?

01:12:07.740 → 01:12:10.539

Tall Girl: How could you not try to just spin the dial.

01:12:11.950 → 01:12:16.970

Busy: Or there's 1 this was maybe a year or 2 ago, woman

01:12:17.130 → 01:12:25.309

Busy: teenager, or whatever saying, you know, it'd be great if you had like a cell phone that was stuck in, you know, that was in the house

01:12:25.520 → 01:12:27.189

Busy: that never

01:12:28.120 → 01:12:42.353

Busy: gets taken out, and anyone can use it, and like someone cuts them like, oh, dear, God! Is she talking about a rotary phone like a home phone? It's a landline. Is she talking about a landline? Oh, my God! And so some of that stuff, I think.

01:12:42.840 → 01:12:46.890

Busy: it's funny. It's younger generations finding out

01:12:47.520 → 01:12:54.239

Busy: what older generations had and older generations finding out explanations to current.

01:12:55.460 → 01:13:01.549

Busy: I will say the entire teacher community is doing us a service by breaking down slang for us.

01:13:01.760 → 01:13:02.700

WellRead: This is true.

01:13:02.700 → 01:13:19.590

Tall Girl: This is like in the moment it's not like Oh, it became cool, and the Kid is saying riz! And then, like 6 months later. There are teachers in real time who are just like this is the word. It's existed for 2 days in my school. Let me break down for you how it's used in a sentence. It's a noun, it's a verb. It's an adjective. And I'm like.

01:13:19.960 → 01:13:21.640

Tall Girl: Oh, thank you.

01:13:21.640 → 01:13:23.570

Busy: I mean, they're doing the lord's work in general, but.

01:13:26.450 → 01:13:34.120

Tall Girl: I mean, we're we're not paying you enough as teachers. But for this alone we should be sponsoring you because you are the reason parents can talk to their kids. Still.

01:13:34.410 → 01:13:37.806

Busy: Like you should get like sponsorship from like urban dictionary to just.

01:13:39.520 → 01:13:45.419

Tall Girl: Like per entry. And at this point it's per day. I was like, we never use this much language. But oh, my gosh!

01:13:45.720 → 01:13:51.299

Busy: I mean, we may have, but it wasn't as accessible as quick.

01:13:51.300 → 01:13:53.310

WellRead: It was. It was highly regionalized.

01:13:53.310 → 01:13:56.439

Tall Girl: Okay, like moose. I never saw moose. So like fair enough.

01:13:56.900 → 01:13:57.430

Tall Girl: That's 2 for 2 that I don't know. This is bothering me.

01:14:43.090 → 01:14:49.869

Busy: Do you think sometimes the Internet trends are created just because someone wants to be popular and make something happen?

01:14:50.320 → 01:14:57.440

WellRead: Yeah. Oh, yeah, I think that there are. There are Internet trends that happen. For that reason. There are Internet trends that happen to

01:15:05.420 → 01:15:09.110

WellRead: people eating tide pods never really happened.

01:15:11.270 → 01:15:19.439

WellRead: We were lied to about a lot of those things like maybe one person did it. 2 people did it, but the whole teenagers are doing this now.

01:15:20.020 → 01:15:24.129

WellRead: It never actually happened. The whole, the whole fervor over it was

01:15:24.350 → 01:15:29.180

WellRead: entirely manufactured by the news media for.

01:15:29.180 → 01:15:33.079

Tall Girl: If you hear about it on 6 o'clock news, just know it's just know it's not.

01:15:33.080 → 01:15:40.940

WellRead: Yeah, I mean, people are people will deliberately do things like that in order to make an entire generation seem stupid

01:15:41.270 → 01:15:46.070

WellRead: so that they can dominate them in some way.

01:15:46.630 → 01:15:50.390

WellRead: right? And that's always occurred. That's that's nothing new. But

01:15:50.640 → 01:15:55.520

WellRead: I think it happens much more insidiously now with the the Internet.

01:15:56.080 → 01:15:56.780

Busy: Hmm.

01:15:58.460 → 01:16:16.350

Tall Girl: The Tiktokers, who like make the entire dinners, and then, you know, they're throwing it out because they intentionally screw it up. It's like this is 2, $300 worth of food like this. This breaks my heart like the number of people who could eat the number of people who would have taken these ingredients and turned it into like a community dinner

01:16:16.520 → 01:16:24.499

Tall Girl: for whatever clicks to try to get famous like the clickbait kind of stuff that you know they're just trying to anger you. I'm like, oh, please don't.

01:16:26.120 → 01:16:33.470

The a-hole stories and the one that's most popular on Reddit is like how authors prove whether or not they're a great writer, because it's no longer like in a world of kindle, unlimited like. You can't get book sales. You can't buy, like, you know, by signing events. You can no longer measure authors on some of those metrics, because, you know, Amazon has killed so much of it.
