00:00:00
Speaker

00:00:12
Speaker

Speaker
The Page of Swords is your sign to start your own podcast. You have a dream. You have beautiful thoughts and ideas.
Introducing Club Crave and Podcast Goals
00:00:52
Speaker
Hello everyone and welcome to the Club Crave podcast. My name is Nick Williams. So glad that you are here today. um The Club Crave podcast, this is where we talk about all the weird and wild stuff happening on the internet.
00:01:07
Speaker
If you love pop culture, YouTubers, influencers, this is the place for you. We hang out here every week and talk about what? The Hot Topics. ah We do deep dives into different corners of the internet. Yes, we do.
00:01:21
Speaker
And we have guests, anyone from influencers to their own fans. um So, yeah, that's our gig, y'all.
00:01:33
Speaker
um I'm trying to get it memorized. Justin looks at me weird because he's... You promised the people. said I would get it memorized by by episode five. problem is it's evolved. I didn't like... i was going to say it feels like three times longer. Yeah. It's longer, but I just, I want it all.
00:01:49
Speaker
is it Was it good though? Do you like it? It was great. The delivery was great. The text is great. It's not giving chat GPT too much. Yeah. Era there for a minute. Yeah. um I will say, though, most podcasts don't survive past four episodes. So congratulations, babe. See, this is what I told you. I was like, OK, so all these podcasts, you know, the the study is, is that there's a million podcasts out there. hmm.
00:02:13
Speaker
with an average of four episodes out. So I said, criminal I'm just going to do five. i'm going to do three times the amount and do 15 episodes. And that's my goal. And and if i just get to 15, I'm happy with that.
Guest Scheduling and Technical Challenges
00:02:28
Speaker
But I feel like by the 15th episode, which I've said this a lot already, You'll just want to keep going. I think it'll be easy by then. We'll work out all the kinks. We'll have guests on by then. it'll be great. We were supposed to have a guest on today, which I kind of announced it. Not really. I guess I said in a TikTok live last week. like, we're going have guest on. I'm so excited. Yeah.
00:02:48
Speaker
But she has rescheduled. I thought that was last week. No, that was this for this episode. Oh, OK. Got it Got it. We are actually recording. um The day that the episode is supposed to be posted, once again, because we had some technical issues. um Y'all, I'm telling you, it's a struggle getting the podcast up.
00:03:09
Speaker
I think the the thing is, I want production value and I don't want to just post anything like I could... literally record their audio on my iPhone, you know? But I'm like, no, we got to do whole thing. got to it the real way. i will say... already invested all the money in this and literally the only thing that was a problem was this damn cord right here. This cord is only eight bucks and it was what I was missing all this time before.
00:03:33
Speaker
But anyways, it's... It's a USB-C cord. Not that anyone really cares, but I've been using an iPhone USB-C cord the whole time.
Tarot Insights and Creative Encouragement
00:03:42
Speaker
I didn't realize charging cords were different than data cords. so anyway, wow there's a little like jeopardy. Noob. Podcast noob.
00:03:52
Speaker
But um yeah, I've been stressed out. I'm like, I'm going to, I just had a breakdown. I crashed out. Why did you have a breakdown? Because the technical issues we've been having yesterday. We recorded like a 40 minute episode and none of it none of the audio got recorded.
00:04:07
Speaker
And I just Trish says this all the time. She's like, I will not go back and record and like act out what we just talked about. No, because it won't feel the same. Really. We've got some new things on the list here. There's a lot that's happened just in the past, like 24 hours of Big Brother. Yes. Like we can talk about that. So it's going to be fresh and new for us. Yes. No, absolutely. um ah Oh, new, no space on memory card slot one. See, I'm telling you guys, it's always one thing after another.
00:04:34
Speaker
Our house could be haunted, honestly. No, I think i just don't know how to organize myself because I'm sure it told me there was only 20 minutes left on that card or something like that.
00:04:47
Speaker
Oh, no, that makes sense. Well, guys, we're going to do a brief intermission. We're going to figure out our memory card situation. i love that. we're taught this would be a great This would be a great opportunity, though. like You fix the camera and then this could be like my poetry hour.
00:05:00
Speaker
I mean, you know what? If you want to give a little something, go for it. Okay, let's see what let's see what I can find here. and i don't know. um What would the people like? um Now they get to see that I'm not wearing real shorts.
00:05:16
Speaker
Wow.
00:05:19
Speaker
Basketball shorts, that's so lame. Let me just get my SD card out of my coach bag. I'm going to...
00:05:29
Speaker
I could give the people like a tarot reading maybe. i think they'd like that. that's great Okay, let's do that. Okay.
00:05:40
Speaker
They like anime, right? I don't think I've shuffled this one yet though. I spent my entire lunch break today shuffling my tarot deck at work. This is insane.
00:05:52
Speaker
What's insane? Oh, it's shuffled. ah these are cute. Stressing again today after yesterday's hellscape.
00:06:08
Speaker
All right, everyone. This reading, if it resonates with you. Take it. And if it doesn't, then subscribe.
00:06:18
Speaker
No, they to want them to subscribe. Well, okay. Sorry. If it, if this resonates with you, subscribe.
00:06:29
Speaker
And if it doesn't resonate with you, this will like never happen on the podcast again. So still subscribe. Does that, is that better? look the way things have been going it might happen me okay We're going to keep shuffling until the cards jump out.
00:06:47
Speaker
Oh, that kind of came out though. So I might take that one. It's calling to me. Today's card of the day sponsored by the club crave podcast is the page of swords.
00:07:01
Speaker
There's no way they're going to be able to see that from there, but the page of swords. yeah What? Give me the card. It's right here.
00:07:13
Speaker
Okay, listen, any of the cards that like are like a court card, so the page would be like the same as... Well, they keep changing. It's basically like all I do is just think, okay, the page is a kid, the sword is the element.
00:07:29
Speaker
And so it means you have childlike energy involving that element. But it also could be the energy of a person close to you. Okay. Not necessarily you.
00:07:41
Speaker
um In this case, given the types of people watching your podcast, I would say that this is probably them. And swords are like thoughts and ideas.
00:07:51
Speaker
So I'm going to get back on my soapbox and I'm to tell the people... The Page of Swords is your sign to start your own podcast. You have a dream, you have beautiful thoughts and ideas, and this is your sign to chase it. And i'll be your first subscriber. Just send Nick a DM so that I know where to find you. love that, honey. I also feel like it could you could think of it as like, you know, start the thing that you've always wanted to start. There's something in your mind that you probably thought Right. And it's probably a podcast. I hate to like take over your reading, but if it's podcast, then that's great.
00:08:23
Speaker
Somebody out there I'm sure wants to. And hey, it's a lot of work. Call me. I'll give you all the tips and I'll send you the links to what you need to buy because I'm telling you this damn cord right here. But like swords is also a different energy than like wands. So it's not necessarily like creative energy. It's more like like you're, you're like very thoughtful.
00:08:44
Speaker
Like your thoughts are strong. You have like really strong, passionate ideas about maybe how something should work or you look at something differently than other people. It's more that than like wanting like paint a picture. Well, that's beautiful. Unless your your picture is like,
00:08:59
Speaker
thought-provoking. I love it Yeah. Thank you to my witch husband for giving us our tarot reading and segueing us through that mess. So I appreciate it. You're welcome. um We're back. We're back up and running. um Does everything look okay, y'all?
00:09:14
Speaker
Also, everyone give love to Justin for that tarot reading because... Is it going to make the podcast? think it might. It might make the podcast. Okay. And also might touch somebody out there. So we love. um Okay, well, now that we got through that hot
Engagement with Listeners via Hotline
00:09:29
Speaker
mess, um how about we... Well, first, I've got to shout out the Hot Girl Crash Out Hotline.
00:09:36
Speaker
um So we've got a hotline, and we keep vague for reason. We want you to crash out about anything, really. um i was like, what are you doing on your phone?
00:09:49
Speaker
I'm crashing out. Hold on a second. I'm trying to find the phone number. I always lose it. um I'm telling you guys, I'm not organized. um But anyways, we want you to call and crash out. um It can be romantically. it can be emotionally.
00:10:08
Speaker
it can be politically. Wow. um Barry crashing out right now. Okay, the people don't know that you forgot his name yesterday when we recorded and the recording didn't work. right What is the name of our third child? Our youngest child? Frank Francis.
00:10:27
Speaker
Francisco. Francisco, and we call him Frankie for short. Frankie, oh my But honestly, wait, wasn't there like a Pope named Francis? Pope Francis, yeah. The baby is their reincarnation. that's probably being Was Pope Francis the most recent one that died?
00:10:44
Speaker
Um, yes. Oh, interesting. I forgot that somehow. um Anyways, call the hotline. number's on the screen. We want to hear from you. At the end of this episode, we will be listening to some calls, which I'm super excited about.
00:10:57
Speaker
I mean, i hope that when people decide to crash out on our hotline, that they do it with intent of updating us later on. You know, how do things resolve? So, and then it also kind of, you know, people that maybe heard that call in one episode want to keep watching until they hear that person call back and and we get a good resolution, you know?
00:11:14
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:17
Speaker
is I know everything going on with the canceled podcast like oh
Podcast Endings and New Beginnings
00:11:21
Speaker
is ending. We're getting the hot topics. Sorry, and taking over your podcast. I love it. But like little is Not Loveline still going to be a thing, or is she just not podcasting right now?
00:11:30
Speaker
um From what I understand, Tana's continuing Not Love Line. She has always said like Not Love Line has always been fun for her. and like okay It's new and fresh.
00:11:42
Speaker
Cancelled was on for like five years and I think they just were tired of doing the same old stuff. I'm surprised they were able to keep going after last year and everything too. Last year, like with...
00:11:53
Speaker
Brooke cancellation? Yeah. Yeah, I know. um Yeah, they've been through a lot together. And i think um I think any best friends, like, you spend that much time together, you're going to want some time away from each other. And it yeah sounds like they're trying to say that that's not the reason.
00:12:09
Speaker
and Who knows what the real reason? is of course i mean i i do believe tana in the fact that she's just like it has turned into like a job and it's turned into something that she has to do and she doesn't want to do that anymore and she like was dreading coming home from tour to go ah sit on the set i canceled again um and i know like during that tour brooke was really well i don't know I don't really know the full situation. I shouldn't speak on it too much. But what i kind of heard on a clip was like Brooke was really wanting to hang out with Tana on the tour.
00:12:43
Speaker
And constantly like, do let's do something. you know, we're in a new city together. Like, let's come hang out with us. mean, she was with her boyfriend and Tana's a homebody. She like stayed in the hotel.
00:12:54
Speaker
She needed to, you know, re-energize and like recharge. And it didn't sound like Brooke was like like respecting that boundary she was trying to set. Mm-hmm. And then I'm sure there were things on Tana's in that she didn't do, you know, right or whatever. So I think it's just like friends,
00:13:11
Speaker
doing too much together, working, playing all those things. It's just like, it gets too much for some people. So I'm proud of them for stepping away and deciding to um take a step back. And they're um actually, i think there's only like four episodes left. Like they're canceling canceled um early.
Drag Race Discussions and Critiques
00:13:28
Speaker
Like they, their contract is apparently supposed to go through like the end of the year and then they're, they're done.
00:13:33
Speaker
um Tana's like, you know, I don't even want to finish our contract. So, um so yeah. well Was there anything else that you were? No, I don't know much about it. I'm going to be honest, but I appreciate you for keeping it up for me. Get it me going because my brain having a hard time moving to the subject to subject right now. No, I had a long work day too. So they're definitely getting. Yeah.
00:13:55
Speaker
So we kind of talked about it, but yesterday we we recorded 45 minutes of a podcast. It was done because we're putting in calls from last last weekend. And and i was like, oh, this is great. And then I go to listen to it back, which I might as well go check now and make sure it's the recording. Okay, we're good.
00:14:13
Speaker
Um, and I need to do that more often and in just check. Yeah, no, absolutely. We did that whole segment and it was, didn't record any audio and we don't record backup audio, which we're still not doing, but I can see it's recording now. So I think that's good, and but we should have a backup audio.
00:14:29
Speaker
ah Basically, if you missed the episode, that is now lost footage. Nick hates Diabetti. we hope that Ginger Minj wins Drag Race yeah All Stars 10.
00:14:40
Speaker
um i was spicy. That's maybe all I remember. Justin's obsessed with Aja. Aja was robbed last episode. Who's your predicted winner though?
00:14:51
Speaker
Not who do you want to win? Who's your prediction? Ginger Minj is my predicted winner. My ideal winner is Georgia. Yes. Finally. Ginger is your predicted winner. Yes. Even though all of America like is not wanting her to win. Yes. Because the production usually. Production doesn't care.
00:15:07
Speaker
They don't? Not for an All-Star season. Jimbo won their season. That's true. didn't like Jimbo. i would um And I mean, people like Jimbo, but like it just was like the lamest season ever because you knew Jimbo was going to win from the jump.
00:15:19
Speaker
um I don't remember All-Stars. Angeria's winning her season didn't make sense to me. Sorry, not sorry, but it should have been... um This is also awful to me. No. Well, I would have loved that too, but, um, left at the bus stop. Oh my God. um that's terrible. That's all I can remember right now. Um, hated Jinx Monsoon.
00:15:42
Speaker
Original season. Like, yeah, but like now they're like fine with each other, I guess. Why is this is terrible. She's a legend and icon. It's like Raja. No, all stars nine. Oh, um,
00:15:57
Speaker
Roxy Andrews. Jesus Christ. Oh, I love Roxy Andrews. But I don't understand how she didn't win that season. That was crazy to me. was great. And i I just, she's so funny to me. She's like super tan and she's just kind of like a little bit of, a I don't know, airhead a little bit. And I love that.
00:16:15
Speaker
Sometimes I feel like Drag Race production is just like really dumb and they think they're picking the winner that America will like and they always pick the one that we like would never want to win. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah. And they also just don't do good storytelling anymore.
00:16:29
Speaker
Like they just kind of pick a random winner at the end and then they like act like there was a story leading up to it when there wasn't. I think with the specific format of Drag Race, if you guys aren't watching Drag Race, I'm sure like probably 50, 50 of you probably aren't or are. Yeah, maybe like 30% of your audience. A lot of people don't watch Drag Race anymore. And lot of people don't watch All-Stars unless you're like a mega Drag Race fan. Yeah. But anyways, this season they are doing like brackets and it's, I'm not loving the, I liked it at the jump, like the pink bracket and the orange bracket I had fun with. Yeah. But it's, so it's 18 Queens altogether, three brackets, each bracket has six Queens, then three Queens move on to the final bracket, which we just learned is only going to last three weeks too, but there's nine Queens there.
00:17:15
Speaker
It's like it would be great to have at least like a month or two with these queens. But it's like literally finales, I think, next week. So yeah. Or this week. Right. Yeah. Next week is. i Yeah. Do like a reunion episode. They basically.
00:17:28
Speaker
ah Spoiler warning here. okay OK. They kicked off Mistress. Then they're going to bring Mistress back just because. So the last episode we watched didn't matter. And then it's going to be a lip sync smackdown for the crown. name Oh, my God. Mistress could still win this.
00:17:44
Speaker
You would love that. I love Mistress. Mistress is being really quiet too. So I mean, she probably does get brought back. I think she gets brought back and think she does pretty good. It's probably going to be like her versus Ginger for the crown and Ginger wins. I would live. Yeah. I would live for that.
00:17:58
Speaker
I love Ginger too. A lot of people don't like Ginger because she's been on four seasons or whatever. I don't hate her. I just hate the favoritism. Does that make sense? like Yeah. the like She's basically on every episode she's been on so far and I feel like she only deserves the four. talented though.
00:18:13
Speaker
i also I also think that she like has been on these many seasons because she fills that theater kid spot. You know what i mean? For sure. but like why can't Marsha, Marsha, Marsha have that?
00:18:24
Speaker
I'm sure she'll be on soon. I don't think Marsha's coming back. You don't think so? i don't know if she's loved. like As soon as Rue saw the opportunity to send her home, he was like, thank God, I feel like yeah he didn't vibe with her. i think Ginger Minj is an icon. I think she honestly could be like a judge.
00:18:41
Speaker
oh she totally could um absolutely yeah it's interesting to think about like where rupaul is gonna go you know where is this show gonna go i love thinking about that all the time and like don't you feel like rue wants to quit but he's such a worker like i feel like he'll work until he's old absolutely but like rue is like dolly parton it up soon because it's starting to get a little stale agreed absolutely and then yeah i won't go there What?
00:19:08
Speaker
The Drag King show? Yeah. I knew you were going to go there. I wanted to love it so bad. i tried so hard. for everyone watching, there's show.
00:19:19
Speaker
What's the Drag King that hosts it? What's his name? Oh, I do love Murray Hill. murray ah We love Murray Hill. So there's a drag king show and they're somewhat copying like RuPaul's Drag Race with the format. I kind of actually like it has a good. It has potential. I could see season two being OK. It's not there and it's just cringe and the editing is bad. It's just like they're not.
00:19:44
Speaker
Like somebody will say something and it doesn't really make any sense. And they' leave it in. i'm like, okay, you can edit that out. Like here's the thing. Cause I don't want my words to get twisted. I think that like drag kings are very valid. Obviously just like from a theoretical standpoint, why would you exclude an art form based on somebody's gender?
00:20:00
Speaker
Number one, but number two, like the drag kings that we have here in Nashville are like actually pretty legit. So when you see a show that's going to like give them a platform, you get excited. And I was like, yeah, How did these people get cast? Is that terrible? But like also it was not it. was not it so so we have to be Maybe I should give it a couple more tries. But it would but that lip sync for your life oh hurt me.
00:20:28
Speaker
It was, it was Drag king. Rough. Don't really get catty. Like drag queens do. True. Yeah. Like that's kind of hard. Cause we, you watch drag race a lot for the drama. I mean, fashion. Yes. And like, yeah. Drag of it all, but we love the drama. So i don't know. We'll have to see how it works out.
00:20:45
Speaker
I do think. I love that. They're sponsored by elf. That's. I love some elf products. too Absolutely. oh right Yeah. Um, in Italy, I guess. Um,
00:20:57
Speaker
What am I saying? Oh, yeah. What we came to the conclusion of, we're like, okay, how cool would it be if they had Murray Hill's drag king race and RuPaul's drag queen race It would make so much sense. um Yeah. and But then they brought drag king or whatever they would call it. What did what did we come up with?
00:21:16
Speaker
Drag race? I guess it was just being Murray's drag race. and Like, they're not trying to be a copycat. They are trying to generally be their own thing. but But I just think, like, RuPaul could franchise this.
00:21:28
Speaker
I see what you mean, but I don't think RuPaul would, is the thing. I know. He still doesn't get it. RuPaul doesn't get... No. i don't even think he still really gets the trans now in drag thing. And he just kind of goes with Throwback to when he reposted the trains flag, thinking that it was the trans flag. you know I've told you this. he yeah There's literally a flag for like trains, and RuPaul...
00:21:53
Speaker
made a tweet um look and he's like, happy train trans visibility day with the flag that he put was the train's flag instead the trans flag. Like it's a real thing. It was only three years ago.
00:22:05
Speaker
Also in the words of Willem, RuPaul is a climate terrorist. shut um Okay, that's wild. Okay, he posted that in 2018. He's come a long way. Light green, dark green, and yellow.
00:22:17
Speaker
Yeah, it's not even. Yeah. And the tweet says, in the 10 years we've been casting Drag Race, the only thing we've ever screened for for is charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent, and that will never change.
00:22:28
Speaker
And then he posted the train flag. Oh my God, I had no idea. It's crazy. It's probably like my favorite piece of RuPaul trivia. And it says train landscape. It's a painting called train landscape.
00:22:45
Speaker
It's not even a flag. He just like reposted a picture painting. That's insane. And you know who posted it? Matt XIV. We love Matt. He's...
00:22:57
Speaker
We should talk about Matt Bernstein. i don't know if we have enough time. You know, of have like somewhat of a connection to him through, well, friend of the podcast, Adam McIntyre, which I'd love to have. Shut up. and Adam McIntyre is besties with...
00:23:13
Speaker
Kat Tenbarge. Oh, wait. Kat Tenbarge is besties with... Forget Matt. Forget Matt. Adam, I need to talk to Kat Tenbarge. I feel like I kind of... I think I have a little bit of vocal fry, too. I think I hear it a little bit on the podcast.
00:23:28
Speaker
So, Kat, we need to just rant to each other about, i guess, our voices. I don't really know. i kind of like it You know? It makes me you unique. don't know if you have a vocal fry. Do I not I think...
00:23:41
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know either. Maybe a little. a little tiny bit. little tiny. you try really hard and you don't drink enough water today or something. I haven't been drinking water. Maybe that's it. Yeah. um But no, I love Matt Bernstein. i just... ah I see a lot of myself in him. I think he's like one year younger than me. um Obviously. Can you explain who he is for everyone watching?
00:24:04
Speaker
um He's queer. He's Jewish. He's activist. I feel like everyone has interacted with this stuff before, but maybe not knowing what it is. I'll put up some iconic posts. Yeah. posted the one where he's got a rainbow flag on his face.
00:24:17
Speaker
Yeah. That's an iconic image. A lot of the stuff he posts is like the blue-pink gradient. Yes. With like text over it. I just like... He's amazing. Like for you, like Trish is the blueprint for me. Matt's the blueprint. Like because I care so much about politics and activism to see that like you can grow a platform off of that and like still...
00:24:38
Speaker
make a living, I guess, and not be like shunned from the face of the earth. Yes. Which is incredible. A bit fruity. Um, yeah, whenever, and he always has iconic guests, but like if he has Kat Tenbarge or Taylor Lorenz, I'm like first
Activism and Social Media Impact
00:24:55
Speaker
watcher. They are, they are like my trio.
00:24:58
Speaker
And you're on their Patreon? can do no wrong for me. um I'm not on their Patreon because I'm an anti-capitalist, but um I don't know. like We've talked about, you know you already know, Nick and I have little squabbles here and there about finances. I to your creators.
00:25:12
Speaker
it does i just feel like maybe they don't need it, but maybe they do. It is a rough time right now. So I'll think about it right now. It's like, it's like in my mind, would I rather have extra content or like a sweet treat? And as a tourist, it's always going to be the sweet treat. That's just kind of my mindset. You're a big fan, but you're not like...
00:25:35
Speaker
let me just give you all my money. value them a lot like people. With Trisha, that's me. give her all my money. I guess, yeah, like for me, like I don't necessarily have to like take in everyone's content to consider myself like the biggest fan. It's like I haven't watched every season of Big Brother, but I'm the biggest Big Brother fan. Right. You're a big fan girl, but you're like do it quietly in the comfort of your own home. Yeah. let me travel all the country. I don't have anything to prove. I think that's my thing. Does that make sense? So you're saying that I have something to prove.
00:26:03
Speaker
Maybe a little bit. um A little tiny. like a he Okay, coming at me. No, I'm just joking. You're supposed to be on my side, honey. but um No, i know I didn't mean it like that. yeah What are you trying to say?
00:26:17
Speaker
You're the one that brought it up to you. I mean, i have nothing to prove. you saying, what about me? That's you telling on yourself. No, you were just insinuating if somebody, you know, spends a lot of money on their favorite person or they travel to go see them that they are, have something to prove. What do you think I have to prove?
00:26:37
Speaker
What do you think the Swifties have to prove that go see her all the time? Well, it's it it is a competition. Like everyone wants to say, I'm the biggest fan. and then like, they're all like, oh, I'm the biggest fan because i have every record.
00:26:49
Speaker
Or like, I've collected all the special images of this album that she has, or I have the midnight clock on my wall. Like, I don't think it's necessarily something they do intentionally. It's more subconscious. But like, for me, i don't even need to have an argument with anyone. Like, I'm the biggest fan point blank period.
00:27:05
Speaker
And like, no one can like, it's a little bit of delusion. nice so But like, that's what how, yeah. You're not saying that I have something to prove in terms of like, more deeper than just being a fan, basically.
00:27:17
Speaker
I thought you were going deeper than like, you know, you. I'm not trying to be too deep with it. No, that's definitely not. Sorry. No, very much not my intent. um I just mean like.
00:27:29
Speaker
There's lots. I have lots of little things here and there that like I'm very confident in and no one could ever tell me like, oh, but you don't do this. And it's it's not going to derail me because I know my truth.
00:27:40
Speaker
I have won every game of Clue I've played, even though I've lost like 25% that photo. Of Trisha and me. Okay, absolutely. i want to look at it because I was supposed to hang it up on the lawn. I forgot.
00:27:51
Speaker
Oh, why was I going to replace Dolly? I guess because I love this photo. But anyways, yes, I travel around the world to go see Trish on tour. I spent a lot of money on her. And look, I got this beautiful photo out of it.
00:28:04
Speaker
Shout out to Naz for taking this. Okay, wait we could crash out about Naz for sure. yesterday Did I tell you? Oh, shut up. i just We love you, Dolly, but Trisha has got to go. wow The way that you've moved Dolly so many times, she's getting like vertigo or whatever it's called.
00:28:23
Speaker
Because like she was hanging up in her kitchen. You took her down to paint the walls. Has she ever been up on your podcast wall for more than an entire episode? Probably not. Poor Dolly.
00:28:35
Speaker
ah can't get it. i believe in you, baby. Do it for the LeBuboos. They want to be close to Trisha.
00:28:48
Speaker
Might have another tarot reading. Just say the word.
00:28:55
Speaker
Ah. It's beautiful. is Is it good? As long as it stays there. Anyways, I love this photo of me and Trish. um I had to put it up because we're talking about meet and g greets and everything. Yes.
00:29:07
Speaker
um How much time is left? Did you see my comment on your Insta post? No, I did not check on the time. We do need to get into some more topics here. um What's it say on the, I think, I think it says 22. No, the DJI here.
00:29:21
Speaker
What's it? Oh, that thing that ah I need to get new glasses. small okay Well, I'll just cut out whatever is too much. Yeah. Beautiful. Um, but no, um, on Instagram, you made a really beautiful happy birthday post to Oscar.
00:29:35
Speaker
Um, yes. Happy birthday, Oscar Gracie. Today is his birthday. Um, I hope I get this episode out today, but if I don't, um, everyone, no one will be surprised.
00:29:45
Speaker
Um, what ruless But um I commented on there. was like, oh my God, we only have like X amount of hours until like Trisha's baby is Oscar's birthday twin. So I don't know if we have any insights, but like that would be iconic. well I will say that they did film the podcast today. So Trisha didn't go on into labor like this morning. But there's still time. But who knows? They could be birthday twins at this point.
00:30:09
Speaker
um And that brings me to calling out my shirt. I forgot to do that in the beginning of the episode. um I'm wearing a Josh shirt, this kind of wild neon shirt I would not normally wear.
00:30:22
Speaker
Because that's my name prediction for Trisha's baby. And I have shouted it from the rooftops a million times. um I think that's the name and I am sticking with it. I'm locked in and I can't wait till they announce it as Jaws.
00:30:35
Speaker
I'm so excited. I honestly think you're right. Also, Trish said like there's a weird coincidence with it. Yeah. And I think I saw Jaws was like, their like 50th anniversary is like coming up too. So that's kind of like maybe that's the coincidence she was talking about.
00:30:51
Speaker
Um, what's your, is your still Ponyo? I dress up as Ponyo. We should put that picture up. I mean, oof. Oh, yeah. Avert your eyes from the screen. When we met Trisha here, um this is just a picture of me and Trish. Sorry, babe. I didn't post them.
00:31:07
Speaker
No, I know. I'm fine. But no, I was dressed. as po That was my first time ever wearing like a wig. So I think which that's not true. You can also if you want to, you can post the picture of me when I was back in theater in high school. That wig was even worse Well, we tried to get you to look like Ponyo. Ponyo.
00:31:26
Speaker
Do you think you look like Ponyo? No, I think I had the like the ability to. here's Here's the behind the scenes. Here's of the tea. Nick spent the entire time in the bathroom getting ready, so I didn't have time to make my mug look good.
00:31:40
Speaker
So I could have done a lot more with it. You look like we don't have another bathroom. I can't do my own makeup. I needed your help. And you were like spiraling, freaking out. You're like, I'm about to meet Trisha. And i was like, I guess I'm I was about to throw up. I'm going to give camp.
00:31:54
Speaker
You know, I decided in that moment, I don't have time to make it look good. I'm going to embrace the not good lookingness of my outfit. Well, you look great. I thought explained it to Trisha in person. We were like, she did get at Well, we had to explain it to her.
00:32:08
Speaker
But then she was like, oh She said she hadn't seen it yet. Because what what happened, we also did a costume contest once at our drag bar here and during Halloween. And we told them who we were and they didn't they still didn't understand. So we're we're moving in the right direction.
00:32:24
Speaker
at least when I explained to Trish that was Ponyo, she got Ponyo. It was a little rough. It was rough. It was giving brick. I think that's what the drag queens say. Cruella de Vil is who I decided to dress up as and Justin dressed up as Ponyo.
00:32:40
Speaker
I dressed up as... What's the dog's name from 100? I don't know any of their names, but I was a Dalmatian. It's like Ponyo. It sounds similar. There's not really like a main Dalmatian, is there?
00:32:52
Speaker
Pongo. Pongo. Oh my God. Okay. So from now on, I will only dress up as five letter P named characters. I think that makes sense. I have two syllables. So I've been Pongo and I've been Ponyo.
00:33:05
Speaker
That's crazy. i didn't put that together. and Yeah. no That's crazy. Well, Trisha might be having her baby right now. She's definitely probably having it this week. um So we're are so excited for you, Trish. And can't wait to... um Hear what the name is. It's killing me.
00:33:24
Speaker
It has to be Jaws. It's got to be Jaws. But if it's not wrong timeline, if it's not, john we're just on the wrong timeline. You know, you know. um Okay. Well, I wanted to read that post that you mentioned that I posted to the Oscar Crave.
00:33:41
Speaker
um Oscar, happy birthday. We love you so much here at the Club Crave podcast. And we want to wish you a special happy birthday Um, you know, we don't have anything elaborate planned here on the podcast for your birthday. No, like, you know, special montage or like anything like that. But, um, I wrote a post that I'm going to post on Oscar Crave here and I just want to read it because um Yeah, I'm not good with words until I sit down and write them, I feel like. So i was just like, let me let me just read what I wrote. So I said, it's a very special day because it is Oscar's birthday.
00:34:16
Speaker
Oscar, thank you for being the kind of person who makes the internet feel like a softer, safer, and more joyful place. Whether you want to accept it or not, I know you struggle with compliments. You've given so much...
00:34:29
Speaker
You've given so many of us comfort, laughter and light just by being yourself. Your content is genuinely addicting because we all want a bestie like you. And the most special part is that you've given us just that.
00:34:42
Speaker
You've made strangers feel like friends. You've built a space where people feel seen and that kind of connection over the Internet is so rare. I know the world can feel loud and heavy sometimes, but please remember, you give people a reason to smile, to feel joy, and to feel good. That's powerful.
00:34:57
Speaker
I truly don't know how you managed to it to do it all. I truly don't know how you managed to do it all, especially while navigating the hard things you've gone through recently, but you keep showing up with so much light, humor, and heart, and we see that. We love you. We're proud of you, and we're rooting for you always. Keep slaying Diva Oscar Graves.
00:35:17
Speaker
That's pretty good PR considering you tried to set him on fire the other day too. oh my God. That's crazy. So Oscar was live. Oscar was live on YouTube and he would painted a little gold, 24 karat gold. If you know, you know,
00:35:32
Speaker
um And i was like, I put in the chat, was like, because he sprayed it for like, spray it for a long time. Five minutes straight. And everyone's in the chat is like too much paint, too much paint. But he kept missing little crevices here and there. So he just kept going and going.
00:35:48
Speaker
And I was like, it's never going to dry. and I was like, maybe you should use a blow dryer. and then everybody in the chat came at me. They're like, do not use a blow dryer. You're going to burn your house down.
00:35:58
Speaker
Yeah. I'm sorry. I didn't know. I guess it's... Science is a hard subject. Yeah. I guess that makes sense. Yeah. I still feel like it would be fine, but... Well, someone said you could blow dry, but like on the cool setting. made sense to me. See, that's what I probably would have done too. Like if I were to do that, I would...
00:36:18
Speaker
I can't come for you because I did almost burn my own apartment down. If you weren't there, that would have happened when I did the whole grease fire. That's the moment I fell in love with you. i was like, wait, I need a big, strong man to protect me from the disasters I create. Is it still scarred too? um I still see a little bit of discoloration there. That's crazy. it's like pretty much gone.
00:36:39
Speaker
Wow. I gave you a scar and like now you can be like, wow, look at this. It's kind of cute, kind of hot. I didn't know how to cook. Excuse you. too much oil in the pan.
00:36:51
Speaker
And as things started a bubbling. I want it to be crispy. Oh my God. Well, um, let's see what else we've got to talk about here. who's your pick for big brother? So good at ping ponging with the ADHD of it all. My brain is just like, we're thriving.
Content Editing and Movie Reviews
00:37:07
Speaker
You're doing great. why Justin's so good on the podcast because we will have so much content at the end of it all. hunt Hour and a half, two hours.
00:37:13
Speaker
And then I just cut it down to what we like, what the best parts of it also. appreciate it for, uh, always keeping me entertained and I hope all of y'all are out there are entertained as well. Um, you wanted to bring up big brother. Yeah. Who who do you think is going to win?
00:37:30
Speaker
Um, let me open my bracket. You go ahead and talk about yours. I, so so i have a friend and she is like starting this big bracket that like potentially if I win, which is no longer going to happen because my like,
00:37:46
Speaker
One of my top picks is probably going home this episode and the season just started. ah But the winner is going to get some money. So I'm like, oh my God, it's like fancy football, but like not sports. So I love it. um So that's been exciting anyway.
00:37:58
Speaker
So she has all make a bracket, Nixon it too. um So my bracket pick is Morgan. and i don't know if you want to put faces up too the contestants. um so And if you don't know Big Brother, there's 17 people in the house this season. and and one of the OG house guests came back, Rachel.
00:38:17
Speaker
there's got a life vest. And so she's going to eat the competition as well. um i kind of wish they would have brought Reagan back too so that they could have beefed. I think that would have been fun, although probably abusive. um Anyway, my pick to win.
00:38:33
Speaker
so like based on my bracket, obviously if Morgan wins, then I'm more likely to win. That'd be great. And I do like her, um but I also like Jimmy who's the gay one.
00:38:44
Speaker
and like Ava who reads people's auras and paints them. So as a tarot reader, obviously I love that. um I like Zay, but Zay's on the block this week too.
00:38:57
Speaker
Oh, I just clicked on a spoiler. Oops. Oh, well, because there's a live feed, so like you know who wins the veto? Yeah. Okay, don't tell me. I won't. Okay. I'm already spoiling for the people. Maybe you should put like a spoiler warning, too. I just told them who's on the block. Okay. We need a spoiler song like Trish has.
00:39:13
Speaker
um and like Yeah. but um But yeah, I guess. So I would say like my faves are probably going to be Keanu, Jimmy, and Morgan. My top three are Adrian, Keanu, and Zay.
00:39:29
Speaker
Adrian's going home quick, I think, unfortunately. and I think Zay might be going home quick too now. ah He could be like Angela. Angela was on the block first and then... Well, she was HOH first and then was on the block constantly for the first half of the season. That's true. she still got pretty far. get But that's the thing. If you're a target at the beginning, it helps you get towards the end because nobody feels like you're a threat. Right, right. Oh, that's true.
00:39:50
Speaker
Suddenly, i had her as my first to go home and now I'm like, I'm a terrible person because I thought Kelly was like... not going to do well. And I'm like, wait, she's a threat. yeah I did not expect that.
00:40:03
Speaker
um and then worried about our girl, Amy. I'm worried about Amy too. um Let us know if you're watching Big Brother, y'all, because this could just be nonsense. You're just like, what are we talking about?
00:40:14
Speaker
I want to know if you guys are watching. And if you're not um watching, you might want to start. There's only to ah two or three episodes out right now. is the time to start. um So it's a good time to start a new show. I know Love Island just ended.
00:40:26
Speaker
We did not watch that. Sorry, we can't really yap about. I watched two episodes. I can say all kinds of stuff about Love Island. talk about Huda. Huda deserves better. Stop coming for her. Some people have trouble with emotions and she processes them. you know half the Half the cast is cancelled. If you watch Love Island still, you're cancelled. So I'm going to defend Huda. Don't my audience like that.
00:40:51
Speaker
You know what Like half of the cast like got outed as racist. Yeah, but it doesn't mean you can't watch a show that They got kicked off the show. That's what I'm saying. So I'm going to defend Huda and you've told me that's wrong that I'm going to snap back.
00:41:02
Speaker
That's all I'm doing. Anyway, I get that she can be mean, but here was the thing. She and Jeremiah made no sense together because Jeremiah liked to see her spiral out and that's bad. Do you know who won the show?
00:41:13
Speaker
Do you know? I mean, I saw. Yeah. Was it Amaya? Do you to look it up? It better have been Amaya because if it's not... um Spoiler alert. If it's not Amaya or Huda, then like we might have to end the podcast right here.
00:41:25
Speaker
Honestly. Was this season seven? I don't know. I just watched two episodes and now I feel like the expert. Are you ready? The winner... Is Amaya Papaya....of season seven... Stop....is...
00:41:39
Speaker
Amaya. Oh, thank God. Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, and Brian, right? Amaya and Brian. Okay. But Brian, somebody broke up in the finale episode or something. Ooh, who?
00:41:55
Speaker
Like I'm acting like I'm invested I'm loving this performance you're giving. i do generally like... Huda and Chris break up. No. I was cheering for them. Chris was so good for her. became the very first couple to break up during the finale episode.
00:42:10
Speaker
No. Yeah. Sorry, honey. It's okay. It was probably his fault. I don't know. I didn't watch the finale. You know what Normally it is the man's fault. It is.
00:42:22
Speaker
Actually, 99.99% is the man's fault.
00:42:27
Speaker
So yeah, it probably was asshole. Anyway, he seems so nice though. Out of all the men in the villa, I was like, wait, he actually like might have a soul, but I guess none of the men in that villa had a soul.
00:42:38
Speaker
Okay. I love love Island, but I want to start talking about, Megan too that we watched this oh we have to it was my favorite movie of the summer I know this is just kind of going ping pong and and stuff like that but we'll we'll get there eventually if megan you love our ping ponging subscribe and if you don't you should also subscribe I'm sure it's fine and again i apologize all the time about everything i'm like I'm so worried about this this and that just chill Nick everything's fine exactly Megan 2. I know it's not a hot topic. Nobody's really talking about it. Which crazy to me. It was so good, you guys. I mean, thinking back, I feel like... It camp. I feel like you can judge how good a movie is.
00:43:20
Speaker
like a week later, because now that I think about it, I'm like, okay, I don't really remember a whole lot. i didn't really evoke that much feeling in me. So maybe it wasn't that good of a movie, but in the moment we were dying. I don't think it was supposed to evoke that much emotion. I think it was just, yeah I have never laughed as hard as I did in that movie theater when Megan broke out into song.
00:43:41
Speaker
I had physical tears coming out my eyes. I don't think I've cried this entire year. That's really concerning, actually, knowing me. um Yeah. I've been too busy to cry. What you mean you never cry? You've never cried.
00:43:53
Speaker
I was processing this, too, because I'm like, I'm realizing, we were about this the other day. I'm a Taurus. I'm an Earth sign. I'm grounded. And I think that's why I don't cry as much. And I think the only reason that, like...
00:44:05
Speaker
When we were like early on in our relationship, like when I really, really cried. yeah I think that was just like trauma. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So maybe i don't have to cry ever again. Interesting.
00:44:18
Speaker
Kind of psychopathic to me, but I still love you. um And you haven't tried to kill me yet. So that's all that meant That's good. Sorry. So Megan. Megan tried to kill somebody. Yes, but we forgive her. so Nick and I were debating that. But I think that if you are a robot and you're programmed to kill people and then you somehow learn for that it was bad that you killed people, then you should be forgiven.
00:44:43
Speaker
I mean, she was also like an infant. Basically. In robot. In robot years. Years. Yeah. Because their wisdom and growth is exponential. So. Also like it's all in the program. So, and honestly, I feel like Megan too, like had like a serious undertone of like childhood trauma.
00:45:01
Speaker
And like, or like unlearning, you know what i mean? Like, um, unlearning like, uh, racism or, I mean, obviously. You know what I didn't own it realize though, the actress that played like the annoying, like adoptive mother, like the aunt. Oh yeah. Not like annoying, but she was like, I can't trust this robot and I can't trust my daughter. And I'm like, girl, she played the girlfriend and get out.
00:45:26
Speaker
Oh, i wonder I was wondering why she looks so familiar. i mean, she's an icon. She did great. Yeah. yeah um ah Everyone in the cast did great. You know who I want to crash out about is the um boyfriend. He didn't get much screen time.
00:45:41
Speaker
But when as soon as he popped up on the screen, I was like, oh my God, that's my guy from SNL. And you were like, oh yeah that's not him. And I was like, it is And he does my favorite SNL sketch of all time. Well, I thought you i don't know it's your favorite. It's very niche. maybe The Angelo sketch. I just love the one with Billie Eilish in it.
00:46:02
Speaker
no Okay. Step back. Slow down. Slow down. So, there was this man...
00:46:16
Speaker
this man on SNL, right? um One season or two seasons. He was on two seasons. He was only like two sketches ever. he would always be like a straight man in a sketch or his one sketch that he finally got to shine in was Angelo.
00:46:31
Speaker
Yeah, I don't even think he was like, and obviously Angelo was great, but on the other stuff he was in, I don't think he was very, he didn't shine. like But it wasn't his fault. They didn't give him the platform. In this movie, he shined. Well, he shines and he actually plays like a very serious like,
00:46:47
Speaker
undercover guy and he's really good and ah it just ah so unexpected coming from ah SNL you know that world and then coming into something very serious from which we love but diversity of the diversity of it all but I did like, because like with the movie, I will say there are a lot of twists where was like, saw that coming, but like they were camp enough. They didn't care. Like it felt fun. But then they would twist you by putting a twist on top of the twist. Does that make sense? Yeah. I mean, yeah. Because like, we're just like I think i I predicted probably like 50% of the movie. And then the other 50%, I was like, whoa.
00:47:20
Speaker
And that was like kind of when it got deep a little bit. And it was still like not super deep. Right. But enough to make you kind of leave being like, wait. That went out. Do I like AI? Like, I was going to use this as maybe a segue to talk about Natasha Lyonne's new movie. Oh, okay. Yeah, sure. Go for it. Well, I don't really have many talking points, but like do we feel like it's okay to use AI at all?
00:47:43
Speaker
Or should we just bury it? Is it possible to bury it?
AI Musings and Listener Engagement
00:47:49
Speaker
What if the AI is sentient and named Megan? Is it wrong to bury said AI? Yeah.
00:47:57
Speaker
getting really deep here on the club crate podcast today to summarize you should go see megan too because the end of the movie you walk away and suddenly you realize like i thought ai was the villain but maybe ai is just the victim of humanity and humanity is the villain but
00:48:21
Speaker
Is that a good lesson, though, for people? i think so. Like, and I was... and I did like how they talked about how AI or, like, the Earth, whenever people have done too much damage to the Earth, like, the Earth will just shake us off like a cold. I remember that was one of those. say that, and that was that hit.
00:48:40
Speaker
Yeah, that definitely could happen. And then, like, AI could just be the, you know... The only thing existing in the world. That's weird. I did almost give you a psychotic break, which is kind of crazy because that's what AI is doing to everyone right now.
00:48:53
Speaker
But I was like, what if we're AI and we just don't realize it because we became sentient? Well, that's the matrix and that's the whole simulation theory, right? That's not me. The matrix is they were human, but then their brains were put into a simulation by aliens. Simulation theory.
00:49:12
Speaker
Mine is more like, are we just data that became sentient? Like we're not like, obviously. That's interesting. You're very creative. I think make a movie or write a book about that for sure. But I've never once thought about that ever.
00:49:26
Speaker
Yeah. but you know what I mean? Explain Like how would I be ah point of data? Well, that's like the whole thing is like it's debunked because you're obviously like flesh and blood. But like, I just think it's interesting to think like from Megan's perspective, here I am a robot thinking all I am is just code and I'm going to do whatever I'm wired to do.
00:49:47
Speaker
And by the end of the movie, spoilers, she learns that she does have emotions and feelings, even though she's a robot. And like, so there's things that we tell ourselves is like humans, like,
00:49:59
Speaker
oh, there I must possess a soul because that's the only way to explain my emotions. But maybe you don't need a soul to be an emotional being. Like maybe that's just something inherent about being alive.
00:50:13
Speaker
So AI is alive? Potentially. What does it mean to be alive? That's what I'm saying. We just trust these seventh grade science teachers to tell us like the nine facts of living things. i don't think data is alive. I really don't. And I think that
00:50:29
Speaker
ChatGPT is literally just Google, basically. That knows how to like weave things together nicely. That's all it is. Well, tries to weave things together nicely. Yeah. Struggles hardcore.
00:50:40
Speaker
What confuses me. Some of those AI generated images, like the furniture and the artwork and stuff like that. Right. It's tricking some people like Tricia, because Tricia thought she was she like wanted to buy like this bed frame and it was AI generated.
00:50:55
Speaker
I know we're trying to wrap up, but I don't think we've told the people yet what we're doing tomorrow. Oh, i that was the last thing on my list. Okay. Good, good, good. That's crazy. We need to like think about our outfits and everything because people go all out.
00:51:08
Speaker
Anyways, we're seeing Kesha tomorrow night at the Tits Out Tour um and we're in the pit. I'm so excited. And I need to message my friend that's coming to Nashville because I wanted to have him on the podcast because he's the ah Dom, the guy that's a huge Taylor Swift fan. I'm like, oh, would love to have him on here to talk about that. So maybe i need to hurry message him and see if he can come over something um tomorrow. I should have taken the day off of work. I should have taken tomorrow off or or like Thursday off work because I'm going to be like tired and hungover probably.
00:51:38
Speaker
Yeah, it's fine now. It's going to be so good.
00:51:50
Speaker
I'm so excited. to Have you seen though? There were some people that were like, this is so boring. I hate this concert. Well, yeah, we talked about in the last episode. Oh, we did. Sorry. i thought that was in our last footage. i mean, it's okay.
00:52:03
Speaker
I'm just so excited to prove them all wrong. Yeah. I mean, I'm excited for Kesha to prove them all wrong. Also, I keep hearing reviews and everyone's like, you know, they think it's the best concert ever. and Exactly. it's Obviously. This will be our second time seeing her.
00:52:20
Speaker
Yes. And she gives a show. i think what I, you know, I don't think I said this in the last episode. I think what people are expecting Like, especially when you think heirs tour.
00:52:30
Speaker
yeah People think a concert is lights and fireworks and all these, like, like a shows. Yeah. performance um These are the same people. Sorry, i haven't gotten religious yet on your episode. But if you go to a megachurch, God is not your freaking light show spotlight, yeah whatever.
00:52:50
Speaker
Like, stop that. But, like... Kesha, if this concert's anything like the one that we saw when she's at Pride, she just knows how to sing and draw you in with her voice.
00:53:02
Speaker
Oh, yeah. and make you feel loved. You know what I mean? all that, yeah. and But she does usually have all of that, though. In addition. like She has the light. She has the production. Yeah. But I know what you're saying. like she is She doesn't need all that to... like bring us all in and really, you know, shake us up and like yeah impact us. Here's the thing. But can you sing as high as Kesha?
00:53:25
Speaker
Is icing? I didn't think so. Okay. Icing on the cake. Yeah. um Kesha can't even hardly sing her as high as Kesha. Sometimes she doesn't do that. It's true. I know. it'sra live But I'm so excited to see her. um I feel like it's going to be life changing experience. I hope it's not too hot tomorrow. We need to,
00:53:44
Speaker
Look that up. And we also need to come with... I mean, hey, it's called the Tits Out Tour. So maybe... We to have our tits out? Well, I want you to wear that champion shirt. It's been too long. I don't know where it's Guys, I have a champion shirt. It's mesh.
00:53:58
Speaker
And I just lost 50 pounds. It's I feel more confident to wear it. But I don't know where it's at Your closet's kind of a mess. So it's probably just on the bottom of that... Drag me. Pile. Yikes. Sorry. I mean, your closet pile's smaller than my closet pile. So...
00:54:15
Speaker
Well, I think that just about does it for today's um hot topics. um And now we're going to get into some calls. So at the beginning of the episode, I mentioned the Hot Girl Crash Out Hotline.
00:54:27
Speaker
The Hot Girl Crash Out Hotline is a hotline where you call in and crash out about anything, y'all. We want you to call in and talk about your ex, your current situationship, anything going on in pop culture, whatever it is. You're stressed out about work. Call us. Let us know.
00:54:44
Speaker
We know not everyone has somebody on speed dial that they can just call complain to. So put this number in your phone. Please just crash out with us, y'all. We we want to hear all of it. The juicy details. That phone number is three two three three eight zero two one nine one and we've got a call here that we're in to listen too now okay we have one call for this week
00:55:10
Speaker
Hey, Chris. Oh my gosh, I'm so happy you're doing this, first of all. Second of all, I just need to crash out on some guilt. I want to know if everybody feels this way, but I feel guilty sometimes when I try to like escape the reality of literally everything that's going on right now. I feel like there's...
00:55:32
Speaker
more and more things up every second of the day. So when I do purposely, like, you don't want to get on TikTok to see anything or anywhere else, I purposely, like, put on just rich. You know what I mean? Or something like that. just or listen listen to something else that completely makes me forget about everything.
00:55:50
Speaker
But then, like, in the midst of it, I'll be like, oh, I feel guilty. Like, maybe I should... even doing something more productive or something more with meaning or whatever, but it's like, then it's like, I need to balance. And it's like, hence the crash out. Like, I know should be normal, but I still feel guilty. And it's like, can't really ignore the feelings, but also want to. So anyhow, that's my crash out. Thanks. Bye. Love y'all.
00:56:16
Speaker
Well, I know, Justin, you're ready to pop off on this one because this is a I mean, this is a good topic for you being so, you know, um outspoken politically. But first, I just want to say like, um you know, you're going to say this a lot more eloquently probably than I will. But I just wanted to say that, um girl, we all can't do it all, um first of all. And also, like, if you've need to distract yourself from the crazy shit going in the world, nobody is going to blame you for that.
00:56:51
Speaker
I do it all the time. You do it all the time. We all do it. um Because if you watch the news right now, it's not pretty. Every single day, something terrible is happening. Some new legislation is being passed.
00:57:05
Speaker
Some... camp is being open to put people in and to make their lives miserable people are getting deported to random countries they've never even been to before because for some reason america loves that they love to torture people um so yeah not to like bring all that up and make you feel like shit into hear all that but like just giving you a state of how the world is right now. i think like we need spaces, hopefully like this, hopefully this podcast gives you that.
00:57:40
Speaker
um That was my hope in this was like creating a space, you know, community online where we can all um just kind of be silly in and crash out together. I think it's, it's fun. um And I think it's cathartic. I think like it's a little bit of a therapy session there, you know, to, to kind of confess that.
00:57:56
Speaker
um And I just hope, you know, that like, at the end of the day, you care and that's really all that matters. And you're going to go out and vote for the people you're supposed to vote for. um you know, and we, we all can do more. We always could, can do more. So it's never like, you're going to do something. You're never going to go volunteer one weekend and then you're going to be like, okay, i've done enough.
00:58:17
Speaker
Like we all could do more. So I think you should, you know, relieve that pressure a little bit from yourself because like, Nobody can do it all. um So yeah, that's that's really what I have to say.
00:58:30
Speaker
What do you have to say, honey? Well, first of all, I thought that was very eloquent. So um you thing, like and I get it. like This is
00:58:41
Speaker
a topic that I guess like i focus on constantly because i have scrupulosity. love to ruminate. I'm constantly thinking about how my morality is going to send me to hell. You know, all of the things we love, religious trauma.
00:58:56
Speaker
Um, so obviously i relate to feeling guilty all the time. That's just kind of something I've accepted about my walk in life. That's just the cards that I was dealt.
00:59:07
Speaker
Um, but, But no, I think I would reiterate a lot of the things that you said. i think I have found a lot more peace recently because I'm finally in a job that like aligns with my values.
00:59:20
Speaker
So, you know, prior to the last month, I think I just was like burnt out. And like, for what, I guess, because I'm not even making enough money to like save up anything.
00:59:31
Speaker
And so you just see all these headlines and you're like, oh, I'm like, not doing anything to stop that. And I'm not doing anything productive in my own life. I'm in survival mode. Um, but now I kind of have a little bit more the picture. I'm like, I was in survival mode to get here. And now it's like,
00:59:47
Speaker
I'm still not able to stop all these big, crazy things happening, but I can make a little small impact, you know, person by person when I go into work and and do my sessions and things. Obviously not everyone's going to go into a social work profession.
01:00:01
Speaker
um But I think just learning that I have more of the capacity to help people than I thought I did. um Maybe I would still push people and encourage people to think like,
01:00:13
Speaker
don't get so overwhelmed by what's going on in the world that you forget like what you are capable of doing. yeah um is there like a food pantry that you can go to or even just like picking up litter in your neighborhood? Like it seems so small and stupid and insignificant, but like it's doing those small things that are going to change the culture around you.
01:00:32
Speaker
And ultimately like, that's what I think we need more than anything right now is like a cultural shift because like, I often think in terms of like what's going to make the biggest impact everyone needs to go vote like point blank period. Don't twist my words. But like, that's something I always wrestled with was like, what's the fricking point of me voting when like, that's not going to change anything.
01:00:55
Speaker
And if like, that's your mentality, then I think the next step is okay. Then I'm going to help people register to vote or I'm going to help educate people on how to vote, you know? And, and, um, I think that's why personally I've also gotten really passionate about like boycotts because that's, um, Um, obviously I'm not an economist and what's the word? and I'm not an economist. Um, I'm a, I literally bought like a little budget one-on-one book at five and below because I have to like help my clients budget now.
01:01:29
Speaker
Crazy sentence. And I don't know what I'm doing. I'm freaking out. i'm crashing out. Um, but no, um, I think I have this mentality of like, okay, if like, my one vote doesn't feel big enough then like if i like make one vote equal to a dollar like i can control where like ten dollars goes and that's like ten votes like it's not obviously that's not how it works but i really like your perspective on the being an example and because the whole atmosphere right now is like
01:02:02
Speaker
Kind of like it's cool to kind of just disengage completely and like also like, you know, not be aware of anything that's going on. And obviously the person that's calling is aware because they have. Absolutely. So like you're doing that at least the very least. Right. But also the example part is like so important because it's going to make.
01:02:23
Speaker
being outspoken and being um on the right side of history cool again. and I think that's that's what's going to need to happen before we see the shift.
01:02:33
Speaker
um Not only in politics, but just in like, you know, general, just like people being nice in their everyday lives and nice to strangers. And so, you know, we take care of the earth and we love each other more when we have good examples out there. And there's just not a lot of good examples I feel like in the media right now at all. So, um, yeah, I like, I like that.
01:02:56
Speaker
Yeah. aspect to that And I guess as like a last thing to just, I want to caution people against, um, Like, I think that like guilt to a certain extent is healthy because it shows you that you're human.
01:03:08
Speaker
i see that argument a lot, but I also feel like it's not sustainable. um And I mean, you kind of said that at the beginning too, but it's like, feel that guilt and and let it kind of remind you like, oh, I care.
01:03:20
Speaker
and yeah And that's a good thing, but don't let it swallow you. lot further than a lot of other people. Yeah, it's okay to take those breaks. Rest is resilience and rebellion or I don't know. Rest is resistance. There we go. um so So do what you need to do to function and take time to do those wine and canvases and yeah be with your significant other. If you don't have one, go have a threesome or something, whatever the kids are doing nowadays. um Yeah, but just...
01:03:50
Speaker
Live life. You only get to live this life once. and And yes, try to make a difference around you, but like acknowledge that you're one person and you shouldn't put the weight of the world on your shoulders. That's something Christians would say.
01:04:02
Speaker
So don't listen to them. You can take that part out. it was So beautiful. ah Well, yeah. So girl, you touched us today. i think because we've been kind of feeling the same way, you know, we go ebbs and flows and then it was like, okay, it's a good reminder for us too. I think to just kind of like,
01:04:25
Speaker
okay, we care at the very least. A lot of people aren't even doing that. And then also, you know, it's a good reminder to like, okay, what can I do or what am I already doing? Like you may already be doing a lot, you know, by just being you and, you know, being someone in the workplace that cares about things that other people don't like that in itself is being a good example. And is, and I think that's important to remember too, for people is like, and I had somebody tell me this once it's like,
01:04:53
Speaker
you know, you're, you're on there posting on social media. You're very outspoken. and like, it's easy to not think you're making an impact, but like you are.
Influence and Personal Growth
01:05:01
Speaker
And like, there's somebody one there's at least one person watching you doing this and being so engaged and passionate. and they're like, huh?
01:05:11
Speaker
why are they so into this? And then they are curious and they learn about what's going on and they're like, you know, slowly they'll maybe get to that point where they want to be, you know, right there along with you, um, on the side of the resistance. So, um, so yeah, just remember like, they're not always going to voice that they're watching or they're, um, you know, learning from you, but, um, there's people out there and I think we all can remember that because,
01:05:37
Speaker
you know i think a lot of people are like, why would I post that? It's not going to impact anybody. Well, I think it does. I think it does. So anyways. i've We've both impacted our family members. I could talk politics all day.
01:05:50
Speaker
um But no, I think we live in... I guess a bubble or like a vacuum group think type dealio. I don't know what I'm looking for, but it's like, we've been convinced that there's only two sides to this, like all the issues in our nation and and that anyone that doesn't think exactly like you as the enemy. Right.
01:06:11
Speaker
But like, I used to be pro-life, super Christian. i never hated the gays. I hated the sin. Right. But like,
01:06:23
Speaker
I changed my mind. And so like, I like to think I'm a Testament to the fact that like people get what, sorry, the word Testament just triggered me. Sorry. Trigger warning. Um, out be yeah. Um,
01:06:36
Speaker
But yeah, people change their mind. I changed my mind. And so I believe that other people can. um Obviously, some people might be lost causes. So don't feel like you have to change everyone's mind. That's impossible. But just plant the seeds and trust that it's going to it's going to affect people, at least a few.
01:06:52
Speaker
And that's all that matters because if we all do that work, it'll reach everyone.
