Industry Plants & Getting Rage Baited

All new holiday drinks are now at McDonald's. Like the Frosted Cranberry Splash with Sprite, the Red Bull Frosted Cranberry Energizer, and Cookie Butter Coffees. Tis the season for seasonal drinks at McDonald's. Finished your essay a day early? That deserves a. Finally folded that laundry? That deserves a. Parallel parked on the first try? That deserves a. No matter what you accomplish today, celebrate with an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Because even the little wins deserve a big. Enjoy Coca-Cola. Are you ready? Yes. Rock it. Oh. Leave that in. There she go. Come on. Gaga! Wait, can I say something? Can I just start? Gaga and Brazil. No. I have to say something. Can I say something? Do y'all mind if I say something really quickly? I just want to say that now that. Harry has been on the royal court, that personally. Well, I'm going to just let y'all know right now. I just have to say my PR, and then we can, like, you know, whatever. Personally, this is the last thing I will ever say about Harry Styles. That is not, like, something that I would say to him as my close friend and colleague. Now that I know that he's, like, down to key with the girls, now that I know that he's out. I mean, obviously, like, Britney, like, her accolades, her interview prowess stands on its own. So, like, it would make sense that when he ascends from the clouds, like, he would go there first. You know what I mean? I'm just saying that even now that there's a 2% chance that this motherfucker's back in. Oops, sorry. I'm sorry. Now that there's a 2% chance that he, him, is back in the streets. Pronouncing him. And is open to just existing amongst us and, like, being and just, like, keying, I'm personally, like, not going to be saying anything about him anymore. And I would also, like, I'm going to behind the scenes do everything in my power to wipe everything I've ever said about him hyperbolically, you know? So, I just want to let y'all know that, that I will be refraining from talking about my close friend, Harry Styles, from now on. Yeah. My close personal friend, Harry Styles. My close personal friend. And shout out, Britney, for being, like, strong enough. Britney, genuinely, first off, shout out, period. Shout out, period. Shout out to actually be able to, like. The cut-up was serious. Well, because, and let's talk about, like, shout out, period, and on top of that, like, you bitches. Bitches want to talk about the strongest soldiers. I'm being so dead serious. Like, this woman has looked eye to eye with every motherfucker that would put 80% of the nation to their knees. Genuinely. On souls. Every single one. Every single one. So, it's just, like. We'll bow. One day, we'll bow. Well, oh, and one. Yeah, it's, like, literally on my knee because it's just, like. It's just, like. That one would have had me, like, beta blocker. Like, I would have actually had to take a beta blocker to have my shit on so. And, you know, I sit with the delusion, which becomes the illusion, which becomes the truth, that I can shake his hand. I can do it. I can do it, and I would have to do it for me, and also, like, when he shakes his hand, like, I would turn, like, translucent, and then there would be, like, 14-year-old me, like. You know what I'm saying? Because it's, like, at the end of the day, and Brittany sound off, like, genuinely sound off, Diva, it's, like, I don't know what the mindfulness practice is, but if we were bestowed upon with the opportunity, Harry, you can always you can always sit on the couch the opportunally. Harry, is that Miffy? It's Miffy or the last. Wait, no! No! No! No! No! We have a seat just like this one. And we have. And my friend would be on beta blockers. Just know that. Harry, I'm sorry. Harry, I'm sorry. We're sorry. Harry, can I start over? Because. Because. Hold on, Harry. Because it's just, like. Harry, because you're watching this for what I'm saying. Whatever reason, I don't know. Because our friend who watches every week. Because here's the thing. And I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm a huge proponent for killing your heroes. Okay, I'm a huge proponent. And. Genuinely, Harry. Harry, you know me. I would just hope that you could understand that, like, the perception and the previous conversation and ways that I've interacted with you as a person, as an idea, really, as a myth, stands itself as the myth. Do you know what I mean? It's a metaphor, guys. It's a metaphor. It's a metaphor. It's the cigarette in your mouth. And I'm sorry. And I'm sorry. It's the cigarette in your mouth unlit when you have cancer. And it's, like, person to person. What? This is the fault in our sarn. Oh, that. I never read that. Okay. But, like, person to person, like, you know what I mean? Like, I could meet you as you are and as I am now and just be like, you know what I mean? That was some crazy times we had, you know? Yeah. I would. I. Oh! I'm sorry. I would love to dap him up just, like, on some. on some, if nothing alone, heroic shit of, like, you know, you did that. And just thank you. Just thank you. Let's fill the room with thank you for, like, building such a pivotal part of our childhood. Pivotal part of our childhood, but the. the pivot of, like, his solo artistry. Well, we knew that, though. I know, but it's just. It's so cool to see. Like, I don't know. Well, and all the boys have a spot on the couch, okay? So y'all let us know. Hey, listen. Now, we gotta see just like this one built just like this one. Just for you. Just for you. Just for you. Zayn, honestly. Honestly, right now, you a little. Like, my head itch. You a little ghetto, ghetto, ghetto. My head itch. But, uh, there is. Well, of course. But Zayn just. And this is what I'm saying about them being, like, people. About them being people. Because here's the thing is this, like, Zayn, I'm sorry that you've been cursed with the affliction of one of the craziest face cards we've ever seen in our generation. I'm sorry. I really am sorry about that. Like, it must honestly be torturous. Zayn, I'm gonna take a beta blocker because it's just like that face card, regardless of if you were Zayn or if you were, like, a bitch I saw at the coffee shop. I'd literally be like, Hi. Hi. She was a. She was a. Fiesta forever. No, like, actually. Like, I'm, like, and we could keep, but it's, like, the first five minutes would. The first five minutes would have to be about, you know what I mean, the trials and tribulations of being, like, fine as fuck. I'd be like, so we could work today. Honestly, the only way I could do that interview, genuinely, like, hi, genuinely, the only way I could do that interview, no bullshit, bro, no bullshit, is dress exactly like him in, like, 2014. We would have to. I would deadass have to literally rock, like. Like, I'd have to get a blonde streak. I would literally have to hit, like, the coif and, like, blonde streak. Coif, yeah. And, like, leather jacket. Literally found out when you smoked, like, when I found out you had, like, cigarettes. And everyone actually made me think. I did disown. And everyone made me think that it was, like, Nick Jonas having diabetes. Like, I was like, okay. Yeah, I'll never forget when I found out he smoked cigarettes. I'll never forget that. I'll never forget when the footage dropped on Twitter. But I'm like, girl, now, girl, now 26 is, like, bitch. Whatever. Anyways. Boring. Yeah. So just thinking about, just thinking about the boys. Well, and, hey. Harry, Zayn, boys. Niall, Louie. Niall, Louie. Like, let's say their names. Niall, Louie. Let's say their full names. Lulu. Yeah. Skip over this part because I'm going to have to go to bat for y'all. Speaking of One Direction, I genuinely am at, I'm at rage baiter age. Like, I'm at the age where, like, you can get rage baited really badly. Yeah, totally. And, like, this. Because there's not as much patience. And specifically, Gen Alpha, that's, like, their whole fucking T in their key is the fact that, like, they deadass know how to rage bait the fuck out of people. T. And they think it's, like, funny as fuck. T. And it is sometimes. They're edgelords, right? Yeah, they're edgelords. Shout out to them. Shout out to Joe who brought that back into my vernacular. Like, she was like, we used to call, because we were talking about incels. Yeah. And she was like, we used to call them edgelords. And I was like, we did used to call them edgelords. But I'm like, I'm not even going to call y'all lords. I'm going to call y'all fucking loser ass bitch pieces of shit. All of Gen Z? Oh, no, incels. Incels. Okay, I was like, wait, what the hell? I'm like, I'm not going to call you a lord of fucking, lord of these fucking nuts, bitch. Well, that's what we used to call y'all, you know what I mean, back in the day. Yeah, the fucking incel fucking loser ass motherfucker bitches. And now they're incels, yeah. Yeah. So, genuinely. Cur-ken-u-en-ly. Cur-ken-u-en-ly? Let's go back. Let's get into it. So, I'm at Silver Lake Flea. If you follow me on TikTok, maybe you saw this. And if you didn't, here you go. I was at Silver Lake Flea with Quentin, mind you. And thank God there was a witness. Yeah. Thank God there was a witness because actually, I might have had some assault charges under my belt, dead the fuck ass. What happened? Because tell me why. I'm walking through and I hear a group of men behind me. Already? That enough? Yeah, I'm like, already cut it. That already enough? That enough? And especially at Silver Lake Flea, it's like, baby, ain't no good. Ain't no good. with dominique roberts who's already sensitive to those types of people it's vibrations to like already sensitive to that demographic like you know like men like the patience levels is like right about fucking there totally so i just turn around because i hear them talking mind you loud as fuck why wouldn't they be of course of course and this boy who has to be a part of generation alpha or maybe young gen z but he was like dead ass like 18 19 like for real for real yeah is that gen elf yeah no it's gen z it's gen z i'm just you know gen alpha i think they're like 14 or 15 right now yeah they're like that's like the first line of events anyways so he literally this guy the the leader i'm the leader i'm the alpha whatever right he literally walks up and he's like oh my god i'm the alpha i'm the alpha i'm the alpha i'm the alpha i'm the alpha right he literally walks up and he's like oh my god i'm the alpha i'm the alpha right he literally walks up and he's like oh my god i'm the alpha i'm the alpha picks up this out the box y'all out the box like vintage scarring 2011 out the motherfucking box one direction sweater picks it up literally looks at it and goes i don't even fuck with one direction like that but this shit hard well and see can i offer a new perspective can i offer you one more thing of course if i high genuinely high genuinely saw a man wearing a one direction sweater 2011 out the motherfucking box bitch out in public yeah and they didn't say like hey girl or literally hit me with some like fierce ass knowledge bitch genuinely genuinely didn't hit me with some fierce ass one direction ass knowledge yeah i would have to smack the living shit out of you bro yeah i would actually literally have to grab take the back of my hand bro and i'm not even trying to lay hands on people like this and just genuinely smack the shit out of you so that your soul tilts two degrees over on its fucking access gets back in the right place so that you won't oh you want to talk about rage bait you want to talk about some shit that literally wants to rage bait a bitch okay let's talk about that i can't say anything unfortunately on this because i used to wear thrasher shirts maya that is not the same it's kind of the same no it's i was playing in their culture i was playing in their culture and then the girls would literally be like do you skate and i was like hell no here's the thing about a thrasher shirt no one gives a damn one direction is nasty stolen valor bro that's nasty it's nasty stolen valor to me because like i was in the pit which put a hashix on that apparently i need to talk about that too but i would argue that the girls feel about thrasher as we feel well not the girls the boys the boys they do feel about thrashers we do about one but the thing is men okay genuinely okay well because when the problem comes back to like men then it's like exactly but see i'm just like that is performative though because why the fuck yes you could choose any band right nirvana you could choose fucking anything anyone anywhere right you're choosing one direction why you think you're it's about to get you pull it's about to get you pussies you bitches bro that's what i'm saying well that's what i'm saying yeah and that's what i'm saying where i unfortunately like can't put on the cross the same cross that i was on you know what i mean because i was okay if i get and i get what you're saying don't even think i get what you're saying and it's just like i was doing that at 18 too so it's a little fucked up i can't say if i wore a thrasher shirt because i was like oh it's t okay whatever the flame logo or whatever they had going on yeah in like 2016 period yeah i had a cropped thrasher shirt i had a cropped thrasher shirt i had a cropped thrasher shirt yeah okay that's fine santa cruz uh the santa cruz um tie-dye shirt that they sold at zoomies i remember yes i remember her this is what i'm saying the one direction like an a this is no shade this is just the t nirvana for example yeah the branding you you know like there's some bands who just have sickening branding joy division sure you like the branding sickening you put it on a good and some people might want to throw that on pink pink floyd sure you you could argue the same thing one direction mama and mind you let me okay let me go into greater detail so it's the one direction and the boys are like literally prepubescent like they're yeah they're that's when they were literally shit like nile had yeah like they were literally infants as fuck like they were literally in their infant era bootsy nile had braces too um and like they're in skinny jeans like zane's in the fedora like it's og 2011 out the box yeah i get it so branding wise even as a straight you a man yeah putting that on your body shit was hard i'll show you hard right fucking now when i dig this into your fucking pit bro when i dig this into the right dig my knuckle right into the pit well dig my knuckle right into the pit well dig my knuckle dig this shit right into your motherfucking scapula bitch because no and i get why it's foul i get why it's foul because hey i get why you genuinely also i'll call it for what it is i don't give a fuck y'all y'all all day go fight down there go argue with your mama don't come argue with me that man grabbed that shirt for one reason one reason only yeah he thought bitches gonna love and bitches gonna love it did he buy it bitches gonna fuck you up because i'm bitches bitches his age gonna fuck him bitches our age gonna fuck you up though they don't bitches who bought it though well bitches who bought it because we're old okay but like even i just found out even the younger fans who like maybe they didn't get to be in the pit but still they were about the boys full stop right there right there's a line in the sand okay i know there's a line in the sand when it's like was it metaphoric or were you like looking at hq pictures every single day on twitter yeah i'm not saying that you're less of a fan because you're not but what i am saying is the visceral reaction is like arguably to the thrasher analogy like it's like the skaters who were like did you skate and i'm like no and they were like girl fuck you i was like i thought you gonna say fuck hey i thought this could be a conversation you know what i'm saying um i just think and i'll drop it it's crazy but that's what i said i'm at rage baiter age no 100 and it's crazy because why wouldn't i buy that because if i genuinely saw i would turn it around and i would buy it because i would buy it because i i would i would uno reverse man shit name literally like name five songs name 10 yeah well well name five that aren't like chart like chart toppers

why i did on instagram i did a brand deal for the tequila company yes and i made and i made margaritas in the video with my friends whatever and someone someone dead ass commented you're not supposed to drink they said you're not supposed to drink when you're pregnant you fucking cunt bro fuck you that is fucking crazy that's crazy that's crazy and i will say i mean hey listen you know what i mean i will say though that was a copy paste that was a cop that was a copy paste that was a copy paste That was a copy paste down boots because I'm like, girl, I will just say that I haven't had, I haven't seen a mean comment when I tell you in years, in years, because like you, you would have to, you have to have a button to the, you do have to have a button to the top, but also I'm like, you, you can't just go for the jugular in like a, um, in a middle school, like on the playground type of, yeah. Like you can't just be like, shut up, bitch. Like I'm like, bitch is blocked. Right. Right. Shut up and bitch are blocked. No, shut up. And like, now it's mute. Right. Um, you can't drink when you're pregnant was one that really had me just like. That is literally crazy. Like, that's insane. Like shit literally got me like this. That, no, that literally had me on like, honestly, you know what? Go ahead and delete reels. Well, and you're going to get blocked. Oh, blocked and handled. And now you can't call me. Pregnant. Even when I'm pregnant, y'all will still be like, bitch, you're fab, bitch, you're fab, bitch, you're everything. I was posting the ultrasound like, wait, why the fuck isn't my comment going through? Oh my God. Like, can't even make the, can't even make the caption pregnant. I'm like, no, no, because the girls be literally like sick in the head. It's sick in the head. Like it actually is like it actually is. And that's why I'm like, y'all ain't going cat. Like, I'm sorry. Like real specifically. Yeah. Well, and literally, I feel like I watched this, the BBC put out this like documentary about the dark web and they were like talking about, um, they were like catching people who like had like obviously disgusting fucking full ass satanic fucking websites open on the dark web as fuck. And like the head people who like, like one of this guy, one of the guys that they caught like had like eight of the biggest websites on the dark web and dead ass. He was living in squalor. Like they like showed his whole fucking apartment to, I mean, both guys that they ended up catching both lived in actual literal fucking squalor, but he literally had like rotted fucking like dishes, like living in like, like food, like genuinely had to be there for a year. Like no bed. Cause the inside goes out. Right. Literally no bed, no motherfucking nothing. And then a $3,000 like computer set up. That is sick. And when I tell you that's like the people commenting that evil, nasty shit, like online and like just being evil and nasty and like sick and fucking depraved. Don't even worry, babe. Your aura is worse than lime or is, or is fucked up or is literally black smoke. Like your shit is like a chimney mama. It is so crazy. Cause even like just in talking about comments, even like when I'll see arguably like tone neutral shit of like, just people like commenting. On like even the Tara's world comment, like low key diva was curious. Like she was like, why she sound like Tara's world. I was like, let's, let's let the audience decide. But even when I see comments like that, even when I see comments like that, and then like just even thinking about like people who actually like hate comments, like take the time out of their day, it really gags me because even when people do like crazy shit, like even when people like rage bait, like, you know, there was really like, like they're like literally rage baiting. It never even crosses my mind to be like, I'm going to leave a comment. That's like, girl, fuck you. Like I literally, I can't even identify with what that is to be like, I'm personally going to do what I can to like spew a little hate in this bitch real quick. And here's the thing too, right? Genuinely. I'm making margaritas like girl and the aura is black because the aura is black because I'm like, Genuinely. And that's the thing that double gags me because it's like, for example, like, you know, the love is love is blind is out now and there's people acting ratchet and I need to be catching up. Yes. Not bougie. Just ratchet and just nasty. Okay. And, um, people are, some people are getting ate the fuck up and it's just like, sometimes you have behavior that like online, you know, some people get activated and they about to eat you the fuck up. Spirit powers activate. Yes. Spirit power activate. Yeah. Here's the thing. The people who like genuine hatred, bitch, like you saw a video of me making tequila and you're like, I'm gonna say she pregnant. Cause it's the blind shooter. Well, I'm not. It's the blind shooting. No, it's the blind shooting. I'm like, your aura is like, well, it's oozing out the sides. It's oozing out the sides or like dads who will literally comment like some hateful shit like dads. Yeah. Like, have you ever? Well, see, I'm like, I'll literally like. Just, yeah. Like actual people, like someone's whole ass father, literally commenting some hateful ass shit under your post, like literally dumb fucking fat bitch or something. What? Dads? Yes, bro. Well, and let's not assume that the, also that the, you know, the faceless profiles aren't dads and moms and girls. Well, I'm like, no, dead ass. And then I'll click on the profile. It's a whole ass dad, literally with like his daughter's name in the motherfucking bio commenting shit like that online. And I'm literally sitting here like, huh? Like, you're, did you, you're whatever you got going on? Well, cause not everyone needs kids. How about that? Y'all don't even want to know that. How about that? We don't even have to get into that. But I'm like, honestly, like if you have it in you to comment a hate comment, I would argue you shouldn't be a parent. Sorry. Sorry. If, no, that's what I mean. Like the, like, oh my God, bro. I, I'm like, dude, genuinely like, and then I call CPS and now it's about to get fucking awkward. Cause why the fuck would you be anyway? I don't even want to get into that. That's a whole other thing, but it's just like, what would, anyway, I just, I know like what would a man be doing there with girl, with girls, with kids that are girls and you even have the thought and then you even have the audacity, like you should shut. Okay. Yeah. What else? I mean, like what was something more lighthearted? Um, I started pop star Academy, right? What'd I call that? Rage bait. Rage bait. I will say I'm on episode one. What is it like a physical Academy where they learned to be a pop star? Oh, you don't know the T no girl. I would've thought that you would. Well, that's how so exactly. So pop star Academy is the Netflix documentary, essentially, as I'm hearing about how cats eyes made no spoilers, obviously. Um, but the whole T is like, they were trying to do like, can we use the K-pop formula in a way that's you, what did they say in it? Like, they were like, can we use the K-pop for like without the K or whatever? Like, essentially, they're trying to do like, can we use the K-pop formula in a way that's similar to like taking it out of Korea and like using this formula to try to like create this really iconic girl band that's going to like do all this shit that, so then they bring all of these like girls to this. Yes. Like physical Academy, because there is like the, and a, you know what I mean? Like y'all know I was, I was, I was a K-pop stand for a little while. Okay. I had my stand, but the girls be training, like the girls will get into the studio, like literally the studio and like dance and sing their asses off and like do their whole one too. So essentially that's like how pop star Academy is also structured. They bring a bunch of girls from all over the world. Mind you, I didn't know they were like from everywhere, literally all over the world, bring them to West Hollywood, California or Hollywood, California. They showed a shot of a seven 11. I was like, we've seen that seven 11. It's like they were, they were fit. They finna be in the pit, Tara's world, Hollywood. And, and one of the clips was this girl being like, they like were sleeping in their apartment. She like woke up and was like, yeah, I get to like look outside and hear like all of the, all of the, like she was shading us. Like she was basically like, bitch, y'all shit. Like loud. I was like, well, I'm like, dude, especially in Hollywood because they didn't put them in no fake Hollywood, like sound stages, baby. They put them on like fucking La Brea, you know what I'm saying? And I was like, period. Um, anyway all that to say can you tell i got an espresso machine all that to say they go through essentially like this very rigorous like dance lessons singing lessons like all this shit whatever and they like slowly i guess i only saw episode one so i don't know but like they slowly kind of like eliminate the girls or they do the academy and then they turn it into a reality show like halfway through and i guess they didn't know that it was going to be like reality show so then they start like eliminating the girls also based off of like fans and shit it was a whole thing but they all signed up for the pop star academy which was you train and like we'll see if we fuck with you enough to like put you in this like insert whatever band like which is like you know rage bait in the sense that and maybe it's just because i'm 26 now so like everything seems young other than me you know what i mean because i feel like i'd be feeling young in turn and then i'm like oh people are still like 15 16 17 but some of the girls are literally 16 like 16 17 18 and it's like i i just don't know if that feels very sickening to me anymore i feel like when i was younger it like made more sense because when i was younger than that it like gave me something to aspire to when i was that age it made me feel like there was again something to aspire to in the present and then like even just a little older i'd be like oh i'm 19 so yeah like 17 yeah okay you know we're the same age we're the same age so it like made sense but now that i'm like 26 i'm like how how could you possibly it's the same thing that i feel about like child actors sometimes yeah because it's the same vibe yeah i'm just like wait well no so one of the divas in cat's eye if i remember correctly we can fact check this but i think she like just turned 18 yeah and i'm like i i can't yes right i just didn't know they were so young oh yeah i didn't know they were so young which i guess makes sense because it's like you know we not we not in that age range no more so maybe everything just feels young but like when i think about even well i'm also like there yeah it's like weird industry it's like the weirdest of industry plans too because like it's just i mean it's just actually proving that they're like an industry plant i guess right i mean i will say faith gave me this perspective too because i was i was watching it and i kind of got this really dystopian feeling of like it did scare me kind of like this implication of like we know the formula to make something iconic so we can just make something iconic and like something about that scares me maybe it's just like well because then it's just like but there's no formula to be iconic well allegedly yeah but then see there's a formula so then i started kind of like getting anxiety when i was watching it because i was like wait so like they can just like make sure like that's crazy faith offered a good perspective and then i was like which was or a different perspective being like you know i i think cat's eye did kind of have the bang that it did because of in the same way that one direction did it yeah they weren't necessarily an industry plant because everybody was already invested in them kind of before they hit the market you know what i mean of like because the netflix show i'm pretty sure was in real time oh and then they were yeah cat's eye yeah so then they were okay okay that makes sense um you could say industry plant in the sense that i mean they're moving very industry-like in the sense that dude you see what happened to manon yeah she's leaving or whatever well they said she's taking a health break but then she was liking dude they did like a whole ass music video and she was like covered the whole time it was so fucked up and then they did a glossier campaign and like in some of the photos she just dead ass wasn't in it like they had a whole billboard so they knew tea yeah and then then i guess like i think a couple days ago they just were like so manon's like leaving for reasons yeah and she was like liking posts that people were like no like the industry's doing her dirty like as a black woman and then she was like liking shit and everyone's like she everyone's like i know she can't talk but like she would like like and then like unlike shit wishing she could speak but i'm like i've heard of a hiatus before i ain't ever gone good i'll tell you that right now so um and girl take and keep your peace i just like it's easy to look at i feel like and i feel like cat's eye is kind of metaphoric because it is like retrospectively the way that they done hit the shit it's like they're like they like to the top you know i'm saying so it's like a fiercer analogy but it's like i don't know like not to say that like 18 year old 17 year uh it's like hard because there's a part of me that's like not to say that there's not agency there i remember being that age and feeling like i fucking knew everything and being like this is what i want to do whatever but like just kind of the implications of being like that perceived and that kind of like famous and even just like thinking about the contractual obligations of all these things it's just like it was hard for me to watch and i'm gonna still watch because i mean it it reminded me a lot of theater school like i literally was like oh i've also had to like sing in front of a group of people and like whatever but i don't know i just i didn't know that they were that young and like something about like seeing like 17 year olds being like yeah like this is what i want to do like i believe the heart is there but then it's like damn like the industry's fucking fierce no well and the thing is too i feel like with the industry is like it genuinely is a machine and it runs like a machine and it treats people as dispensable you know what i mean yeah and i think that's the hardest thing about you know i i guess i reference child actors in the sense that like it's it's kind of the cogs yeah you know like so many disney child like disney disney disney child actors i was like huh i'm like wait why is my brain does your brain ever like not work for a second and it low-key scares the fuck out of you you're like am i having a stroke wait tea uh no let's talk about that let's talk about that no but like real i'm sure that that's relatable i'm sure i'm sure you're not the only one there's no way me i'm like all right was i having a stroke no no um holiday drinks are now at mcdonald's like the new red bull

excludes membership fees see walmart plus terms and sam's club terms for more info but just in the sense that like you know even the hours that they work yeah which you know i think like that's something i saw like not raven raven simone yeah is that their name yeah yeah okay raven was like talking about on their podcast about how they were saying the biggest thing that they wish wasn't a thing was being a child actor and then if they're like i feel like if there are child actors then it's like there needs to be like it needs to be heavily regulated yeah because it's like bro going to what school bro yeah like i even think about um fucking mad con yeah bro yeah and how yeah like half of the like a lot of the boys only go to school and they don't go to school and they don't go to school and they don't graduate for real like nash and like all like cameron like i just remember literally them being like we're all online school and then literally being like oh they baby they not about to make it because we i think bitch because you can't put a like i at 15 you would have gave me money fucking just vibes like and then expected me to finish that's what i'm saying is it's like how and i guess i'm like up in the air on this like i don't know but like how much can you really like put on an underdeveloped brain where it's like saying yeah bitch when i was 15 i was like well i did go to high school and i did the whole thing but like if you would have taken me out of my environment like even out of performing art school if they literally would have been like you broadway now like you do online school you figure it out i literally would have been like why would i even go to high school bitch i made it yeah maybe you're 15 and you don't you don't even understand that was like that was like this one kid who went to our school like because i i mean where i grew up in like phoenix there was like so many people from la would come here i mean it's so close and stuff and like vice versa not that like arizona was like popping but there was like some designers and like some rap rappers who would like always come to arizona and stuff and there was like this one designer who was like steady in la and it was like mad weird shit where like we were in high school but this one kid who went to my high school kind of they became friends and it was like this really weird world it was like that 2015-2016 soundcloud shit kind of vibe totally but then also whatever long story short this kid was a junior when i was a sophomore and he made this hat and like it everyone was wearing it like everyone was wearing this hat and it kind of just like popped the fuck off and he like dropped out of school and was like i'm just gonna be a designer like fuck this shit i'm literally in la every weekend doing my big one like yeah totally and i mean granted i the last time i ever like creeped on him he seemed to be like on some big up shit hell yeah but i was just kind of like the way dropping out was just like people's realities all the time and i'm not saying that like if that is your reality or has been your reality that you can't like find your way later by any means but i'm just like it's such a fierce ass like it's a fierce gamble or not like even a gamble but it's a fierce like decision to make i get that and i think it's like i just think that there's like i hate to say it because i don't even want to be like you know you get more jaded as you get older because that's not my point either but i think you do get more like protective yeah you get much more protective and you just like everything makes a lot more sense like because swear to god y'all like i don't know if anyone else i feel like my i mean my mom was so like in like you just don't have sleepovers like culturally you don't be having sleepovers unless it's like your family but like whatever but like literally growing up we also didn't have a babysitter like my grandma like my mom my color nanai nanai would literally watch us and like yeah we did not have a babysitter like the idea when i was like oh yeah my babysitter i was like what do you mean some random person you just hired is like watching you yeah but like i used to get mad as fuck at my mom that she would like always always always never let me i can never do a sleepover i can never do anything i could never like or i just remember like anytime there was like a skirt i always had to have shorts like under it i'd be like no because like you know in the 2000s bitch the girls lindsey lohan all the like popping ass bitches were literally wearing nada which it was it was so kind it was so fierce it was so everything but that's grown shit and so it's like as a kid and like as someone who's like young as fuck and like watching mean girls where they're like dead ass wearing nada yeah and i was like come on yeah my mom's like are you fucking high and like back then i was like oh you're just like you're on some old shit you're a fucking old head you're trying to hold me back from being popping shit like dead ass i swear but now looking back i'm like yeah okay it's like fuck it's like no and that's and that's real and also let me also say let me also just um you know the girls who i'm not even specifically talking about the girls made into cats i because they're like 20 22 23 like you know i mean that a i get it we we've aged out we've aged out of that and that's fine um right but it is i think i've been like i've been specifically talking about like and you should watch it because it is tea i think it's very like interesting and like you know the arts theater divas like yeah very um but there is something really like sobering about watching it at this age i feel like now and just seeing like how many like really young like 16 17 like yeah just impressionable girls that like also i think the thing that makes you feel so protective too is because i don't know and everyone's so different and like especially like you know i didn't necessarily take like the very serious performing arts route you know what i mean like i wasn't on track to be in on disney channel or on nickelodeon or like on anything at like that wasn't my my thing so i definitely understand that and i recognize that like you know and you could definitely speak more to it because you quite literally went to a performing arts like high school but i will say there's something very hard and probably really damaging and it's hard to not become the person who like a lot of that might shape you know like hearing words or the feedback people tell you yeah or like you know quite literally america's next top model mindset of just like literally having someone tell you something about yourself whether it's true or not true and then at that young of an age i would not be able personally for me at that young of an age i would not be able to be like i'm not gonna be able to do that i'm not gonna be able to do that i'm not gonna be able to be like fuck you bitch yeah oh i'm of course i'm gonna do me and like you wrong about me and like i'm not i'm not taking those words like those words fall on deaf ears yeah when i'm 16 17 and someone who's literally quite literally holding my dreams in the palm of their hand and telling me dance monkey dance yeah that's the thing i think that is the most like yeah it's it's just like tough to it's just it's tough it's tough to see it and i think also i project on it too that like in a obviously much smaller scale than fucking cat's eye hashtag cat's eye gnarly it's like i also project onto it that even like 26 like being perceived and kind of like being in a in a situation now where we're more like public facing and kind of just like seeing and trying to filter and like build that muscle already at 26 26 years old like hyper independent ass bitch like before this y'all could i literally was like i i know my set like you know what i mean like coming into this industry and even having kind of like a slice of what a fucking cat's eye a fucking you know what i mean like a bus a bus doll yeah like a bundling security bitch like your contract like shut the fuck up bitch like you stop i even still you know we talk about it you know we can have open conversations about it like there's still times where it's really fucking hard or even getting into it is like tough like there's so much like self-work you do there's so much like mindfulness so much grounding and our job is like showing up and just like literally talking about shit whatever our job isn't even like the hustle of like oh you're you got to do that do this magazine cover now you go over here now you perform 18 shows now you do this on a global stage on a global stage you know and while like under constant always being talked about always always and i feel like that's the thing that's like the hardest probably for me or anyone it's just the constant um being constantly being criticized 100 good or bad you know like some people being like oh my gosh yes like yeah and also the like why did you do this why did you do that totally and that is like i mean it's tough it's tough in and of itself and it asks for like a lot of i think it asks for a lot of like self-awareness self-understanding self-compassion and then it's also like we are i'm verbally processing this like this is why ludy was watching that shit like are you guys sure like i don't know because i'm like we also we feel this pressure we experience these things and kind of like a micro you know comparably like in a way smaller proportion yes and our job is very flexible like our job is like if you and we were like oh i just can't more importantly yeah and we answer to no one yeah exactly like little i mean little girl well we answer to people but in the sense of like we have very much kind of like the flexibility and the understanding that it's like very much through us like everything is what we want to do when we want to show up when we want to whatever we just happen to like like to show up so it's like period of course take that and then you turn it into like okay now you're one of five and we've heard this story before but now you're one of five where it's like your next two years these are your obligations this is where you need to show up this is how you and you're 17 and bitch i literally i mean i think there's a starry-eyedness there's a brightness to being like yes this is my dream but then it's also like on some protective auntie shit like watching the show i'm like damn guys like i don't even i can't even ask or expect for y'all to understand kind of like the actual commitment that you're making like yeah physically time-wise of course because you know everything in hindsight but it's just like everything in hindsight genuinely like even this job like if you would have told it told us that would have even transformed into a fraction of what it's transformed into yeah would we have believed you would we have believed you don't know and like yeah and we still didn't know what we were signing up for like you know what i mean like we still didn't know that like and and us currently sitting here we still don't know what it could even turn into like totally you know like because we're constantly evolving and growing and changing so it's just like and so is the industry before our eyes yeah exactly um but it is one of those things where it's just kind of like you know you think you know yeah of course but no one truly knows until you're there and so i feel like you know we've seen the things we've seen the like other side of it and like you know the aftermaths of things and like it's just hard to like you know not take like a big gulp and be like whoo yeah it is that that's how you know yeah now i'm getting to that ease like wait and honestly like i'll just land the plane at leg a for all the girls on and off the show really and the divas the diva supremes cats well you're all diva supremes okay if you were you know what i mean everyone's a diva supreme um but just for the girls who are like in the cut right the girls who are in in the pit they finna be in the pit yes god um that sentence like that's what they're talking about i'll just say i'm i'm wishing them like genuinely like prosperity obviously like peace of mind and just like protection and like i don't know i don't know over it like i know that the industry be fierce and i've only tasted it you know what i'm saying like i've only been like hey like you know what i mean so i'm just like listen to all the girls involved and to the girls who are literally on tour serving y'all hashtag gnarly i'm like you always have one a spot on the couch and two just like wishing y'all like genuinely like mental health and prosperity and protection as you move through the industry and like service like iconic shit like thank you for what you're doing and also you know listen you know i fuck with the step away these days i'm like girl if you need a step away do yo tank let my girl step out let my girl step out yeah i'm just like protect yourself but don't do that weird fucking like the industry wise yeah like i i know the i don't know what the dynamics of the girls in the group are you know i don't follow cat's eyes super closely yeah um but i'm like to man and i'm just like girl big fucking hearts in the chat huge hearts in the chat and it's just like all the girls but you know it's just anyone who's like been in the cut like that even to be on the show and yeah like whatever 100 it's just like just nor like y'all did just even like attempt to try hell yeah it's bigger it's the bigger shit than i've ever tried to hell yeah and keep your and keep your head up because i will say they were on that show bitch talking to them like and i also last thing i'll say on this i i don't as a girl who danced as a girl who knows dada i don't subscribe to the maintaining of like industry standards for the name of them being industry standards i don't subscribe to like we need to be hard on them because that's what the industry is do you guys understand that you're actively creating it right now yeah do you understand that y'all being like yeah shut up bit like that is not why are we upholding you can still be great and you can still create someone great without being a whole entire fucking cunt to them no exactly and i'm like i think that the work to like i think sometimes we forget i think sometimes we forget that we're actively creating the industry that we're a part of so like they were on into that america's neck that's a whole other thing but like they were in that bitch like you sound like shit like literally we're like you dance like shit and i'm gonna just say it like that because that's what they would have told you i'm like baby no that's what they told you yeah okay we there's so much room especially in the performing industry i think and just like the entertainment industry for care for compassion for understanding like it's like bless you you don't have to be telling no 16 year old girl like and i just feel like guys enough she's fucking 16 bro enough yeah and that's what i mean and that's what i mean about the machine you know what i mean the machine and i'm like guys we y'all really because i'm not you know i'm saying like i'm not in the producer circle so i don't know you guys already have the say okay you already did your big one why can't we be in here like i'm like why can't we be in here like hey girl give it six months do a little vocal shit to the top with you to the top okay right i we could take it there we could take it there i don't subscribe with that fucking negative ass old head ass self-talk and it's the dance industry be doing that bootsy bellows the girls be i just have to be hard on you because like the industry will be hard i'm like you're the industry though so what the fuck right anyway let me not not even too much on that like the rage baiting um but all that to say i will be watching the rest of pop star academy it is interesting i was just gagged because i feel like i again i also not again but to your point i don't like follow cat's eye so i don't know like the origin story but girl i was gagged yeah they had the girls flying in sweden brazil i was like damn like well because they you know they trying to get the best of the best well mind you i'm only on episode one half the girls ain't even in the academy so i'm like well where'd y'all come from like yeah and i guess i'm gonna find out they're just all over well because they had to call the girls and i did see the cliffhanger for the next one was that they're gonna cast man in because they found her on tiktok right period gnarly gnarly and i don't even want to get into the the implications of that songwriting well like a bag of talkies i'm the shit i didn't even get to try the freaking cat's eye jollybee meal oh my god i can have jollybee now dude we should get jollybee yeah oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i want that because i've been the chicken with the gravy is really where they take it they take it there but i just haven't gone because i'm like i'm just about to get chicken and gravy and nothing on the side and mashed potatoes i need the spaghetti right and i need the spaghetti yeah the spaghetti is really good and you know what's so funny this is the last thing i'm gonna say because i'm running out of time um growing up i was dead ass just literally take ketchup and like literally go ham in my spaghetti and then finding out that's not like or if my friend's mom would like make spaghetti i'd be like can i have ketchup and that's okay and a hot dog like well and now it's awkward now everyone's mad it's like girl like a bag of talkies you feel me i'm like y'all got the filipino ketchup gnarly gnarly gnarly gnarly y'all gonna be mad at me if i ask for ketchup or not it's tomatoes well it's the no it's the same shit like let's get into it just different spices you see just different herbs and spices i actually really want that okay we should write that down um okay guys well this is that was awkward what about neighborhood watch oh pop star academy for real did i say america's next top model already documentary would i even suggest that oh i would put that on the neighborhood watch in the way that it's like it already happened and we must take accountability yeah we must witness we must we must witness but i wouldn't watch it like oh you better be like oh like rubbing your feet together it's fun i wouldn't say that well i remember just in college like my roommates would watch reruns tea and i i was i literally told them i was like y'all have to turn this off when i'm when i'm in the room and i'm being serious i'm not trying to be that bitch but anytime be making dinner because i'm like i'm not listening to this shit and i'm like it that was like 2017 2018 when i was in school girl and i was like because i was they're watching the old episode reruns and they're like yeah it was crazy no it's not fucking crazy i'm like that's abuse like they're that's that's verbal abuse and i'll say it and it like i never watched it growing up i only had like growing up either of her yeah so i'm like i was watching that documentary like what the fuck well and you know i guess again the age-old question is like were y'all were y'all there because the early 2000s bitch like honestly all y'all should have got your necks wrong everything down every single down to the magazines down to everything all y'all should have got your fucking butts popped and y'all were lucky that we were too young to know what the tea was literally because well because we're products of it um my neighborhood watch we finna be in the pit watch the pit the pit the pit what is my neighborhood watch actually my neighborhood watches um the season so goddamn good fuck the pit i'm also back on my 90-day fiance before the 90 days they're back i just started watching it get into it yeah get into it yeah um uh okay well i guess yeah pop star academy pick your poison pop star academy america's next top model or what is it actually called um hold on reality check that's what it's called um let me watch it yeah go ahead and watch it but what i'll say is well is that too much of a spoiler to make a comment on her behaviors oh well i i she what she's just excusing it the whole time i just feel like she's doing you can watch and let me know i just feel like she's doing this weird like half in half out accountability thing where it's like my thing personally is if i was tyra banks for some reason um i would have to be on the dock like guys holy shit with that brain that was fucking crazy bitch like that was crazy like oh my god i'm sick like that or i just feel like it was lacking there's a lot there's lack of authenticity and there is like i think she is a little bit like you know like the eyes are a little bit like gone type shit but like it was very pr it was very like huh oh yeah that was that was a wild ride that was crazy i'm like girl whatever happened to authenticity just or bitch just come on and be like bitch y'all can't fucking read me like i was doing my what bitch just it was just so inauthentic that i was like so i can't even really like you know what i mean looking at her right now yeah honestly this alone she's a little and i think yeah there's something to say about the girls who are also like dragged through the fucking ringer like i'm not expecting her to have like mental health tea like fucking like whatever but i just i for me as a viewer i think there is like a lack of like realness would you agree with that yeah yeah i know i felt like there was no accountability it was just yeah she's like oh yeah the show is my idea everything was like from me like everything's me me me when it benefited her when i was like this when it was continuing yeah and then when it was not most the time you know she's like i'm i had nothing to do with that and yeah exactly accountability but yeah i'm not a producer so it's like it's off because i genuinely think what's off is that there's just like a lack of base level realness where it's like i think it was a little too like pr combed of like even just the things of like oh my gosh what was that diva's what world is that girl my thing is like you don't even have to say necessarily what we want to hear you know what i mean you could have come you she could have come on that big fucking belt buckle big like i don't give a fuck like y'all weren't there fuck you and i low-key feel like i would have had more respect for yeah because then it's just like at least you're acknowledging what you are exactly you're acknowledging what you are you're acknowledging what it was in the impact but then to like be sitting there and being kind of like and you can watch and we can talk about it but like i'm using that as an example the shanty situation where it's like that was arguably kind of one of the most impactful like lasting like oh that was like what the actual fuck was that and then to be like um what yeah i do i kind of remember i kind of remember bitch just be like i fucking remember i fucked up bro that was fucked up like yeah oh no the one shanty's the one that like had a boyfriend during the show and then i don't know about that okay okay well we're not gonna just go ahead and watch and i'll let everyone tell their own stories to you directly and then we can talk about it but yeah yeah for miss tyra i'm like girl let's just just you're wrong hello like she was serving like hello i'm like hello like wait hello just say something just say do something it points back to what you're saying with like the dance of it all earlier like they're when it started at least tyra's like well this is how what they did to me so i'm gonna like do it to you and then it turned into like more of a reality show less of actually about modeling but like to not even be able to acknowledge i don't know obviously there's like a base level of taking accountability that i didn't even see yeah and obviously i'm not a victim of it i did grow up watching it and like t that was like the show and that's why things happened girl the way i viewed things blah blah blah yeah i wish i was watching the impact race instead because that was way more positive well and it's so funny because now that i'm watching like tyra mail and shit like rue does like rue mail and shit so i'm like i'm seeing how i'm like girl okay sorry i didn't know i didn't thought yeah um anyway okay all that's i'll say bye like i don't know um we'll see y'all here you know what i mean um and loving y'all this has been hey
