00:00:17
Speaker
I'm going to say, think I'm about back-to-back doubleheader championship here.
00:00:25
Speaker
Yeah. Maybe. Actually, maybe. I feel really confident that I hate things that a lot of people like. Really confident. Yeah, you can be antagonistic about certain things.
00:00:37
Speaker
Exactly.
Meet 'My Top Everything': Friends & Arguments
00:00:46
Speaker
Welcome to My Top Everything. We are three best friends. We argue about anything and everything. i'm Mara. I'm Kara. I'm Marion. What the...
00:00:58
Speaker
We had starting it off strong. Yeah. You can't win. Wow. This is new. Yeah. Today's topic. My top
Unpopular Opinions: Hate List or Personal Dislikes?
00:01:09
Speaker
three things i hate that are an unpopular opinion. yeah this This was interesting because I first read it.
00:01:16
Speaker
i like read it and I int took it as... top three unpopular opinions. And so I created a list of opinions that would have gotten me ostracized by society had anyone heard them.
00:01:30
Speaker
Um, thinking that, oh, Kara's looking at her. I'm changing. She's like, oh wait, as we're talking, I'm already changing. Uh, I, for example, and you can bleep, you're going have to bleep this whole sentence.
00:01:44
Speaker
Uh, so get ready for that. But a non-popular opinion I had on my list was that I think, uh, But um so then I had to go back and realize, oh, it's things I hate that people don't agree with, that most people like. Yeah. And not just unpopular opinions. Because I had a completely different list. It took me a second to wrap my mind around yeah as well. I don't know who listed this one, but Sounds like a Morrowind to me. We don't know.
00:02:12
Speaker
No.
00:02:15
Speaker
All the weird ones can't be mine. Sometimes they come out when we're talking in the podcast. So it might be one of those. Who knows? We could start putting a little thing to annotate. And then came up with it or yeah.
00:02:27
Speaker
Anyway, um but I can start it. Yeah, go for it. Okay. um
Schitt’s Creek Critique: Cringy or Cute?
00:02:33
Speaker
This one is that I think that ah Patrick from Spongebob.
00:02:44
Speaker
what I thought. No, from, um gosh, what's it called? Schitt's Creek. Oh, yeah. He's extremely cringy, and i think that the things he does are cringy, and I don't think that... On behalf of his relationship, you mean, or just as a person? um On behalf of his relationship.
00:03:01
Speaker
Specifically, and this one's, I think most people would agree, i find... performance displays of affection, as I like to call them. So in a show when somebody sings to another person or, you know, makes a song for them or does a public declaration, i find those very cringey. And Patrick and ah David do a lot of those. And so I just in general think that...
00:03:31
Speaker
That's cringy, but I think most people would agree that performance displays of affections, like public public displays of affections, we don't want to I don't want to see somebody do a performance and then say, well, you marry me. I can't handle that. It's too much. It makes me want to ball up and die inside. But I think most people would say they like Patrick and David. Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:50
Speaker
A hundred percent. Yeah. Love Patrick David. I also though think that when you say they do quote a lot of them, i don't agree with that. I think it's really the one where yeah he's doing the opening. He's setting off the whole tone for this new thing that his business is doing with open mic.
00:04:05
Speaker
And he starts it off with a song that he does very well. That's a very popular song. Yeah. Uh, can you name another? Yeah, well, there's the time that David does his lip sync just to Patrick, which is also makes me want to melt and die inside. But that's just the two of them. Yeah. I didn't say public performances. I said performances.
00:04:26
Speaker
Performance displays of affection. I thought you meant public. I performance displays of affection can be even just between two people for the record. You're clarifying. Continue.
Seasonal Preferences and Natural Fears
00:04:40
Speaker
It's not like public. It's new information, but okay. I mean, I never said the word public, but yes. And so both of what? You did. said public, I said performance and public displays in two different things.
00:04:50
Speaker
I like they were the thing. No, we're going to go back and you will hear it. I say performance displays of affection and I say public displays of affection. We haven't done an instant replay in like 26 episodes. I'm excited. Let the argument begin. I distinguish very heavily between the two of them.
00:05:12
Speaker
Specifically, and this one I think most people would agree, I find performance displays of affection, as I like to call them. So in a show when somebody sings to another person.
00:05:27
Speaker
Anyway, like writing a poem for somebody and giving it to them, saying it out loud. There are many performances that are... Anyway, strip teases.
00:05:41
Speaker
they they're kind of c crunchy. Interesting. and hu You lost us. Okay. Yeah. See? so Yeah. Anyway, maybe that's a softball. I have another one. If you guys feel like that one's not good enough.
00:05:54
Speaker
I feel like the whole, your actual thing though is Patrick, the character Patrick on Schitt's Creek. I find him, because also sometimes the way he reacts to David or talks or when he smiles at David, i want to cringe. Like I do cringe. So yes, it's Patrick in general. The way he like goes about liking David and expressing that it for some reason makes me like very, like I shrivel up inside like a little raisin.
00:06:23
Speaker
Do we hate that? I don't think it counts. I don't like it. It's not my top three. Well, yeah. It's unpopular. Would agree it's an unpopular opinion? Yeah.
00:06:35
Speaker
Well, I think a lot of people find the public displays of affection very cringy. What about the performance displays of affection? I feel like, to me, it's different when it's just the two, like me and somebody else versus like me in public. I i don't want strangers up in my business like that.
00:06:51
Speaker
If a guy sat down and starts like and he was like, I wrote this song for you and started singing it just to me. And then he starts playing Wonderwall. Hilarious. That's funny.
Crowded Concerts: Love or Loathe?
00:07:01
Speaker
but That's a joke. that A sincere performance yeah display.
00:07:06
Speaker
don't know. It's kind of endearing. You thought about me so much. Listen, I don't know. I'll let you know when I can think of a personal experience in which I was like... Anyway, my other number three can be I hate spring, and I think that's a pretty unpopular opinion. Yeah. Hate it. Don't it.
00:07:22
Speaker
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. I think a lot of people... You think most people would rank it number four? Yeah. Really? One hundo. It's not in my top two. I think most people would rank winter last, but spring is definitely not in the top two.
00:07:37
Speaker
It's usually summer and then fall, and then I would say winter, and I think most people would say winter because spring is like... I think they like the feeling of coming out of winter. Yeah. In other words, they like the coming of summer.
00:07:50
Speaker
But I don't think anybody really, like, loves spring. There's pollen. There's flowers for the first time in months. Yeah, but it's, like, that early part of spring where it's still brown and there's no snow. It's dead. And it's, like, 40 degrees. and're like that Yeah, March is a shithole here. Yeah. it's like There's, like, dead animals everywhere. Yeah. Ugh.
00:08:10
Speaker
You find a bunch of... and Yeah, spring's not in the top two. It's not in the top two, but would you put it ahead of winter? Would you say it's your fourth? I don't know, because everything's really yes but a muddy in spring. Yeah.
00:08:26
Speaker
And like, it's just, I get sucked
00:08:31
Speaker
Like quicksand. Yeah. Well, anyway, those are my number threes. and i guess I picked correctly. Well, started off podcast strong. um Because you said you were going to win all three. and i So far.
00:08:43
Speaker
Okay. Well, go. ah My number three, I'm not planning to win. Just so we're all on the same page. I changed my list right now. Did you just do top three unpopular opinions?
00:08:55
Speaker
No, no, no. I don't think I really hate much. Like, I was trying to think of, like, foods that I hate. That's what I struggled with as well. don't... Yeah. It's not... And we already did, like, vegetables, so I wasn't going to say zucchini, which deserves its own call-out. But um I'll say that something that i think everyone else loves that I just, like, I'm fine... Like, I don't really like it. I'm fine not having it in my life is the ocean.
00:09:16
Speaker
I don't really...
00:09:19
Speaker
Like even like Lake Superior where you're just looking out. you hate the ocean? don't. First of all, I don't ever want to go on to the ocean. i don't want to be on a boat in the middle of the ocean. i don't want to cross the ocean. i don't want to like.
00:09:30
Speaker
No, I don't. I don't like big. op You've never gone sailing or snorkeling, scuba diving. I have, but it's like right next to the. the the shore yeah I'm not like going out to the Great Barrier Reef and like being in the middle of fucking nowhere terrifying it is terrifying I'm not into it I don't like big open spaces even fields I'm not really a big fan of but at least the ground ocean no but also like when you go and you're like oh I'm gonna have like a vacation I'm just gonna stare at this endless yeah line in the sky abyss what it is so boring and it's like oh there's waves guess what they're fucking everywhere i don't know just and it's salty it's salty and it's
Fishing Ethics: Right or Wrong?
00:10:07
Speaker
sandy and then like i love it not the shit but like the stuff like the seaweed wrapping around your legs and you think it was a fish or seaweed yeah there's sharks which is probably fine but i just yeah yeah rather not okay yeah yeah ah that's a good one that's a good unpopular hatred Yeah. yeah
00:10:26
Speaker
Nailed it. Yeah. The ocean provides like 75% of the oxygen we breathe. So even us being landlocked, we need it. Whoa. Wait, how does the ocean- The algae on top converts it into oxygen. Oh, I didn't know that.
00:10:41
Speaker
Thanks, ocean. I appreciate that you exist. How about that? Yeah. I thought you were telling me. was like, uh, yeah. Wow, what a love story.
00:10:52
Speaker
Wow. Okay. um Catch and release fishing is torture. Yep. One hundo. So you hate catch and release fishing? Yes. Yes. that's Because it's torture.
00:11:05
Speaker
I'm worried that you did unpopular. No, I think most people find catch and release fishing to be sport, entertaining, like nice. And I don't A relaxing Saturday.
00:11:17
Speaker
Yeah. No. I don't think many people think of fish having feelings or. Yeah. I don't. Woo. Sticky. But ah all animals have feelings. Yeah.
00:11:29
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And plants. Stop it. Yeah. Yeah. I totally agree with this. I am 100% on this page. And, like, I understand that you have to throw them back if they're not big enough. um And then I'm, like, I hate farm fishing, so, like, I get that there has to be some of it for like, to have sustainable fishing practices.
00:11:53
Speaker
But I think there's a difference between going out with the intent of catching a fish that you're going to eat and yeah like catching some that are too small and having to send them back. Still torture. But also, like, that is part of the active fishing process.
00:12:03
Speaker
The purpose of, like, right in Minnesota, people go out every Saturday and they throw their fishing line in so they can hang out on the lake. And then they throw every single fucking fish back. Nah, not a fan. No.
00:12:14
Speaker
Yeah. Because now you just got, like, fucking hooks through the eyes, pulling their stomachs out. Like, it is actual torture. Like, it doesn't go back in the same. Yeah. This one's for you, PETA. What if... We get to tag them. What if... Have we considered the idea that the fish... You know how, like, when you go on a roller coaster and you think you're going to die, but it's, like, really fun and exhilarating? Have we thought about the idea that when the fish is getting reeled in, they're getting a similar sensation of like... And when they come out and they're like... o
00:12:46
Speaker
and then they go back in you enjoy being choked for not well sexual reasons yeah it's like where's the sentence going you like you know would you want to be choked like right now front no it's not even choked not choked just can't breathe it's put like you in a carbon monoxide room and then also stick you with a bunch of knives Well, not a bunch of eyes. One one knife. One knife through your mouth. just Your mouth and your eyeball. Basically give me a piercing.
00:13:15
Speaker
You're giving me a piercing. Through your eyeball. Through your eyeball. Well, you can't feel anything in your eyeball, so that would be an okay place to be. Okay, but now you can't see for the rest of your life. Can the fish not see for the rest of their lives? Well, if the eye has a hook in it.
00:13:31
Speaker
I don't know why you're talking about hooking the fish in the eye. That happens. Yeah, I was about to say, I don't think that's very hard. It happens. I've seen it, so I know it happens. And I don't fish. yes its it's it's It's giving Dwight in the episode of The Office where ah they go to like pull a prank on the Utica branch. And he's like, I have to do something with their eyes.
00:13:56
Speaker
Man, over my head too. ah All right. Yeah. Also on the same line of fishing, just like the Minnesota fishing opener being on Mother's Day weekend.
00:14:07
Speaker
Every year? sweet total bullshit. That is a good number three. That's what you should do. Okay. Yeah. that something you hate or it's an opinion that's unpopular? Because we're toeing the line here. They're the same thing to me. Okay. As long as the opinion that you hold that is negative about something.
00:14:27
Speaker
So if you hate that fishing openers on Mother's Day, then that I think that fits. Okay. Okay. Well, here's the thing I hate that other people like a lot that's unpopular to hate.
00:14:41
Speaker
Concerts. Yeah. Hate them. Don't get them.
Sparkling Water and Suburban Woes
00:14:44
Speaker
Think they're stupid. And i unless I can sit and everybody else will be sitting the entire time and I have a good view. i don't get it.
00:14:53
Speaker
Yeah. I don't want to be there. I don't want to wait in line for the bathroom, the drinks. or just to see the face of the person who's singing. And half the time their face is disappointing.
00:15:05
Speaker
And I didn't need to see it anyway, because it was better imagining their face than actually having to see it.
00:15:12
Speaker
Pretty unpopular opinion. Yeah, I don't get this one at all. I sort of get it in in that if I'm not close enough that I can see them with my own eyeballs and not on a screen because then I might as well be watching a YouTube yeah video.
00:15:24
Speaker
ah But we I like when the atmosphere is like I feel like I'm part of something. So if that is there and I'm watching it on a screen, it's fine. But yeah, like I'm not ah um'm not overly excited about most concerts.
00:15:36
Speaker
If I have to stand, my mom once had us go see... Christina Perry, who was really big during the twilight years. She did Jar of Hearts and A Thousand Years. okay I've waited for you, darling, don't be afraid.
00:15:51
Speaker
Yeah, I know the song. I have loved you. Anyway, so i was excited, very excited. You know, this is before I really understood concerts. And we went and when we got into the place, I said, where are we sitting? My mom said, it's standing room only.
00:16:07
Speaker
My mom had a great time.
00:16:11
Speaker
stood there for two hours, even though we went there for me and thought about how much I didn't want to be there. ah Yeah. So there's standing involved. And also like when we go to a place where there is sitting, everybody does have a seat. You paid for a specific seat and and everybody stands in front of you. So you have to stand the whole time.
00:16:30
Speaker
Yeah. Jail. Jail. I want to put everyone in jail. That's all. Yeah. That's my number two. That's a good number, too. That's That's a thing I hate. That's unpopular opinion. Yeah, I do agree with that.
00:16:43
Speaker
OK. um
00:16:46
Speaker
Number two. Right. OK. um I would say that my number two is not as unpopular as most people might think. I don't like sparkling water at all. I think that it is like the devil in my ah in my mouth and it makes me burp and it is spicy and I see it ruins the flavor of whatever the thing is. Most sparkling waters also don't have a fucking flavor.
00:17:08
Speaker
I don't like carbonating things, period. um The only hot water.
00:17:18
Speaker
You drink carbonated hot water, which is basically. But it's not very carbonated. I'm looking your research. Defend me here. It no less carbonated. LaCroix and currently. I enjoyed the silence you got when he tried you tried to you.
00:17:34
Speaker
Well, you know, you tried. That one kind of tastes like beer. I don't like beer. A little bit. Yeah, it's like sparkling water. It has a whiff of whatever it's supposed to be flavor-wise. don't like LaCroix then.
00:17:48
Speaker
That's my final answer. Okay. There's a lot memes out there that would agree with you. jokes and jokes and jokes of LaCroix. had to change list right when we started recording. Man. What was your, okay. What was your other list?
00:18:01
Speaker
um Unpopular opinions. I do feel like sparkling water can be pour polarizing, but yeah, you do. My number two was suburban urban design. Dude, I wanted to incorporate that into my list so hard, and I was like, no, no, Mara, no. But like, what a waste of land.
00:18:20
Speaker
Yeah, wait. Why can't you do that one? I think that it's a relatively popular opinion, but I'm also an urban planner, so I think. maybe I'm just surrounded by people. that yeah Oh, agree with you. yeah Oh, I see. Yeah, because I was like, I don't really think I can defend this one because everyone thinks it's dumb. But other people are still building in that way and people love it.
00:18:37
Speaker
Yes. Yeah. They're like moving in. Yeah. Yeah. It's about on par with LaCroix. No, it's better. No, better. I really hate that. Okay, I'll go Well, I mean in the sense of like... Unpopularness. Yes. Yeah.
00:18:49
Speaker
yeah Okay. I'll just do a little shit. If you live in a suburb, I'm glad that you like where you live. um But the fact that all of your garages face the street is the first and only thing that you see from the road, and you can just disappear into your house without saying hello to your neighbors, yeah and you have giant front yards that you don't do anything with, and have lawns that you have to maintain that you don't even use...
00:19:08
Speaker
And the fact that you're using space very inefficiently drives me up the wall. You're actually increasing your utilities because the infrastructure to get to your houses when you are all spread apart like that is like double the cost. Yeah. More efficient to live in a dense urban environment.
00:19:22
Speaker
Also, take the goddamn train. ki Yeah. Oh, fuck yeah. Urban planning. My number two. Our typical quote traditional unquote for our listeners who can't see my air quotes views on shaving as in like let me shave or not shave what I want or don't want to shave without it being a whole thing um from other people or like.
00:19:55
Speaker
Just the judgment that comes with that. um so And that one we can thank the razor industry for wanting to dive into 50% of the market industry by shaming women into didnni shave. It came after World War II, right? And they were still mass producing razors for World War II soldiers and they didn't know what to do with all of them. And so then they started marketing them to women. God damn it. yeah So you, just to be clear, you hate...
Societal Norms: Shaving, Ads, and Bake Off
00:20:23
Speaker
I hate that most people believe women should shave everything. A good one, in my opinion. Yeah. Yeah. If I don't want to shave my legs for three fucking months, fuck off.
00:20:37
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Or armpits. Yup. Yeah. Ussies. don't need to be looking like a 12-year-old girl down there. Thank you.
00:20:48
Speaker
Yeah.
00:20:51
Speaker
Yup. Yeah, i I had trouble with ones that we all wouldn't agree on. Yeah. So. Yeah, to me, that's a pretty popular one. Yeah. But I guess I just surround myself with people who don't.
00:21:08
Speaker
care about shaving yeah in that same way or care about whether or not i shave yeah as somebody who i think you've yeah i think you've surrounded yourself for sure i think the vast majority of people still think that that's not yeah kosher when do you think uh when do you think the whole thing where men shave every day started i don't know donna time yeah offices you mean with beards or yeah like I mean, I'm a bearded man. I have not shaven in eight years. You guys, he doesn't have a neck beard. He is trimming and it looks nice.
00:21:45
Speaker
I think it the you know like conservative Christian workplace ideals. That's the only way I can describe it. I think it comes from people thinking that a clean face is professional and important. I actually probably think it goes farther back to like when we were still in Europe and we had um got but like governors and ladies and dukes and whatnot. I bet it looked more, quote unquote, professional to have a clean shaven face because you could afford to do it every day and you could afford the medal.
00:22:17
Speaker
Wait, I think I know this now that you mentioned that. like the reason ever The reason the nobility wore powdered wigs back in the day, they would shave the hair off their head too to prevent lice.
00:22:30
Speaker
Oh, yeah. like So it probably was a cleanliness. Yeah, the nobility probably shaved all their hair off just for that. And, you know, whatever the nobility does catches on.
00:22:41
Speaker
Yeah. so Until the poor catch So you could have a lice beard. lice live in the beard? You can, fact, lice. Yeah, you can have lice in your eyebrows. can have lice anywhere. Yeah. Anywhere. And on that note, let's go to our sponsors. Hell yeah.
00:23:03
Speaker
We're at our sponsors section. If you want to become a sponsor, and trust me, the emails actually are rolling in, but if you want to be a sponsor, you can email us at mytopeverythingpodcast at gmail.com or hit us up on Instagram, Blue Sky.
00:23:19
Speaker
Maybe we stalk the Reddit and see it, but that wouldn't be the most efficient way if I'm being completely honest. Yeah. Our number three sponsor this week would be this is such a hard one. Wow.
00:23:32
Speaker
um Maybe we just don't. Yeah. Unpopular opinion within podcasters. Ads must happen.
00:23:43
Speaker
oh I like that. So no ads here for our listeners because we hate that pleasure because they hate ads. Oh, because we hate capitalism. Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:54
Speaker
Yep. Bye. Hope you enjoyed. Welcome back. Let's get to our number ones. I like that. Isn't it you? Yeah. Oh.
00:24:08
Speaker
ah isn't it yeah oh All right. Oh, oh, oh. My number one thing that I hate that is an unpopular opinion is the Great British Bake Off.
00:24:23
Speaker
I forgot about this. That is an unpopular opinion. and I am devastated. We hates it. Yes. ah We don't like it. I don't. And by we, I mean me. Yeah. And the demon that lives inside of me because you had to be a dame demon to hate the Great British Bake Off.
00:24:43
Speaker
I don't get that. Yeah, it's ah boring. Nothing happens. They make the same stuff over and over again. That's true. It doesn't really even look that good to eat.
00:24:54
Speaker
They're all too nice to each other. Why do we care that he's giving him a handshake? Hey, this is my moment. I get to sit here and tell my unpopular opinion. You're right, though. Go.
00:25:05
Speaker
And i like, ok cool. handy They're doing all this for a trophy? trophy? They have to come back week after week. It's not actually like most reality TV shows where it's just filmed all in one go. These people have to give up weekends and weekends of their life.
00:25:22
Speaker
There's zero ah competitive, you know, chutzpah behind any of them. They're all like, oh, I have extra five minutes left. Should I help you? Great.
00:25:35
Speaker
Cool. Wow. Oh, the frosting. That's such a lovely buttercream. Hustus, or whatever their names are. And it's it's just... They talk so quiet and lilting.
00:25:50
Speaker
And i just kind of get filled with rage every time I watch it. I just don't get it. I've never gotten it. I've tried to get it. I feel like I put in a good amount of time trying to understand it. I've watched...
00:26:03
Speaker
multiple episodes of multiple seasons and I would never if somebody was like would you rather never watch TV again or watch great British break off break off please I would love for it to break off if I would pick no TV over 20 seasons of GBBO That's my unpopular opinion. agree with you on the handshake thing. The handshake upsets me because like Prue has a Michelin star. Yes.
00:26:31
Speaker
And Paul fucking doesn't. so why are we idolizing this man? don't know who Prue is, but. To let you touch me with a handshake. Prue, man, Prue has a Michelin star, which is so amazing.
00:26:43
Speaker
yeah and I do think they should like each have a thing. I don't like that it's just Paul. I don't either. I do agree with that. All right. i think i think it's I think it's more that
00:26:53
Speaker
The crew is easier to please. Paul's like the hard ass. How often does he give out a handshake? That's the other thing is I feel like he gives them out too much, honestly. I've seen one. often these days, yeah. That's too much. I will agree with that. Every third episode?
00:27:06
Speaker
I was going to say maybe once the season is too much. He gives out a handshake every third episode and people are still jizzing over it? Is that right? Yeah. They're coming in their pants for ah ah ah three times a season?
00:27:19
Speaker
You can't understand that as somebody who's a teacher's pet? No.
00:27:26
Speaker
Yeah, he does give them out too many lately. it doesn't feel as special. It doesn't hold the same weight. That should be like once every three seasons type situation, in my opinion, if you even want to do that.
00:27:37
Speaker
all right All right, the whole reason that I watch Great Finish Breaking Show. Nobody asked, but guess we're going to I asked. why are you going bend our popular opinions here? Yeah, popular opinions. Why do you watch it? I like that they're kind to each other. Oh, cool. I like that it's just this thing that they're doing on the side. They just enjoy it, and they get to have this national fame over something that they just enjoy and they do on their weekdays and whatnot. Yeah.
00:28:01
Speaker
fun and also am falling it's because I think the reason you don't like it is because you're so competitive that you can't understand like wanting to help other people nott miss because you'll start when teach somebody a game I do I do when you would teach somebody a game you always make sure that they really truly understand the rules and then you're done no I help them their first time around The first time you help and then you are never going to help them again after that. That's not true at all. If I find if somebody makes a move that I think is weaker than a move they could make. I have point. I have corrected people all the time. I'll point out. Yeah. like You could get more points by doing this. Yeah. Because just against myself.
00:28:42
Speaker
I don't really care about anybody else at the board game. I'll play against myself through you. Yeah. vehiclewise I don't need you there. Yeah. Yeah. I will point out and be like, you're making a mistake here. But you the competitive nature thing, I feel like you you had a good starting. And then I changed it. All right, take it from here, Mara. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:00
Speaker
But it's also, for the record, I like nailed it. And that also doesn't really have a competitive nature. i like nailed it because there's more drama going on because they don't know what they're doing. This is all just some average, above average bakers making stuff that looks kind of good.
00:29:15
Speaker
That's it. It's wholesome. It's just unremarkable. It's sweet and wholesome and kind. It fills me with joy. It's what I live for in October. yeah I wake up Saturday morning. yeah I make myself a big-ass breakfast. And I sit down and i my phone, nowhere to be seen.
00:29:33
Speaker
And i like, that's a show I'll actively give my attention to. But sometimes like... How is that the show? This is the part that I don't understand. I wish I could. I just don't understand how this is not a like...
00:29:45
Speaker
you know, neutral background show people are putting on. a How are people paying attention? You have to watch because there's so much happening. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah.
Wedding Boutonnieres: Purpose or Pretense?
00:29:55
Speaker
And it's sometimes, most times it's better than most plots that some of those streaming services are giving us these days and actual quotes stories. Agreed.
00:30:04
Speaker
I feel like I'm in another zone. Okay, but it zone to be fair, like NYPD 2.0 of Las Vegas, that shit's bull. The Great British Bakery show is better than that. What plots are there? In that? I don't know. and Murder? In GBBO.
00:30:17
Speaker
And the grape raised big I like it because i like not everybody has like a heartwarming story, but they do kind of it is. I find it very interesting to listen to people's stories and like how they got there and why they're doing it and what what their hobby and interest means to them and how it relates to personal growth.
00:30:38
Speaker
yeah It's just really heartwarming. cry. cry every season. yeah When Lucas lived here, we watched it together. ah he was constantly like, why are you crying, dude? But he also found it very heartwarming. yeah just I have leaky eyes. you know yeah yeah you You got a good one because don't agree with you. yeah I know. i I feel like I could sweep this.
00:30:59
Speaker
yeah well that one That one kind of made me want to mute you. Okay. Yeah. It's a very unpopular opinion. Correct. Okay. My number one is boutonnieres. This came up because Grayson and I are getting married. And I really, Grayson was sending me pictures when he was getting his suit stuff picked out and was like, do i need a hole in this lapel or something? And I was like, what the fuck's the point of this hole in this suit?
00:31:24
Speaker
And then I got down to rabbit hole boutonnieres. I think the boutonnieres are dumb. I think that they're teeny. There's like one, usually a white rose or something like that, which I don't really like roses, period. No offense. um and I really don't like white roses very much.
00:31:38
Speaker
And then they have. That would have been a good one. Yeah. Just done. you roses is Yeah, I should have. I really don't like there's like whole rose gardens. There's so many other flowers. Yeah. Focus on them. I don't get it. There's fucking sticky things in them. And then when you try to grab them, they poke you. thorn yeah There's thorns. There's thorns in them.
00:31:53
Speaker
um But boutonnieres are what I particularly hate is that usually when you have something that is designed, there's like a back or part that you don't want to see.
00:32:03
Speaker
Boutonnieres have that straight on the fucking front of the suit and you can see the little the tape or whatever that holds the different parts of the flower thing together. And with ribbon. No, they don't though.
00:32:15
Speaker
It's just the brown or the green like tape stuff. And then there's just little bits of the flower at the bottom and it's just pinned on. They're not hiding the backside. They're not doing pretty flowers. They're not doing big exciting thing. It's just like, here's a fucking rose. Put it on your front. Be done with it. And I hate it.
00:32:30
Speaker
Like do cute little pins. There's like meaningful things. I just hate boutonnieres. And I also hate corsages, but not as strongly. just don't like boutonnieres. Can you explain the difference between a boutonniere and a corsage?
00:32:43
Speaker
Boutonnieres are on a suit and corsages are on your wrist, usually for women. Ah, okay. For prom. I will say I'm trying to picture boutonniere that didn't, like that does have, I know some of them have ribbon, but I just think they're unremarkable to me.
00:33:00
Speaker
Yeah, I think I feel like whatever about them. I think if you're going to do something, do it better. It's like you're putting effort into something that's stupid and dumb. um I just hate them. I hated them in high school. I did it for my prom date because it was the thing to do. But even then I was like, this is dumb.
00:33:17
Speaker
I hate this. I also hated the corsage. I was like, why do I have flowers in my wrist? What is this? And it falls off. It's itchy and it's annoying. Yeah. I just hate them. hu I've come into my flower era, though, so it's not that I dislike flowers. yeah Yeah. no one No one heard you say that. i had ah I had an era where I didn't like flowers. I thought that beauty was dumb in of itself yeah and And I've come out of that.
00:33:42
Speaker
I like things for beauty now. I've grown. Yeah. like grapeish ba Good girl. Thanks, mommy. Yeah, that one... I have zero opinion on. Right. Yeah. It's an unpopular opinion. That's why it won't be. Well, it's not an unpopular opinion. It might be.
00:34:01
Speaker
From who? I did i think if most people ask, if you ask most people how you feel about boutonnieres, go, haven't really thought about it. But it's the question is not, is it a strong opinion? And i'm on the opposite side. It's, do I have an unpopular opinion?
00:34:12
Speaker
I don't think most people have an opinion. So therefore your opinion is not popular or unpopular. Most people don't have an opinion on it. It's a scale. It's a neutral is in the middle and then you have a strong opinion on positive or negative. Way to establish the baseline.
00:34:28
Speaker
It's not making the top three, I'll tell you that much. Not yours. but But I do. but like think I can't think of a wedding that I've been to in the past where the men haven't had boutonnieres. Have you noticed, though?
00:34:39
Speaker
Can you say for sure, would you slap bet that... all the weddings you're thinking of had boutonnieres. Yeah. Because I don't think I could even slap bet that all the weddings I've been to had boutonnieres. Most of the weddings I've been to are like your traditional white person Christian wedding.
00:34:59
Speaker
I mean, same, but I don't know that they've had boutonnieres even all the time. Sometimes people don't do boutonnieres. I feel like that's such an optional wedding thing. Damn. I agree. Like.
00:35:10
Speaker
It's every prom though. Every prom. Yeah. It's a thing because you exchange the flowers. Yeah. the boy and the girl or other person. The Lucas didn't have a boutonniere.
00:35:22
Speaker
You didn't get him a boutonniere. I didn't have a corsage. I don't think. I think you did. I don't think i had a, boot I don't think he had a boutonniere. I don't think he wanted a boutonniere. I think you had a corsage though.
00:35:34
Speaker
I think it matched your dress. Probably. um would slap at that. No opinion. boom My number one, super tied. Um,
00:35:46
Speaker
I'm going to go with... You can do both. Thanks. Thank you. Flat earthers. So people believe who believe the earth is flat. You hate flat earthers. What's the opinion?
00:35:58
Speaker
That's the opinion. And it's unpopular. That you hate flat earthers? No. idea of flat earthers that the earth is flat is an unpopular opinion.
00:36:12
Speaker
I don't think most people think the earth is flat. No, but this is supposed to be things you hate that are an unpopular opinion. Yeah, I hate that flat, the earth is flat is an unpopular opinion. What's your B?
00:36:26
Speaker
don't understand how that one isn't. Because it's not an unpopular opinion of yours. Most people don't like flat earthers.
00:36:36
Speaker
know If you were a flat earther, this would be a different conversation. If you were a flat earther, then you've got an unpopular... Well, except that you would like the earth. so i just use it It would be an unpopular because it's not the majority of them. But it can't be...
00:36:49
Speaker
It's things I
Flat Earthers and Furry Friends: Rational or Ridiculous?
00:36:50
Speaker
hate that are an unpopular opinion. And I hate that the earth is flat. It's things you hate that other people find popular, basically. Yeah. That's okay. That's why. Like basically your hatred is an unpopular opinion. The hatred is supposed to be unpopular.
00:37:05
Speaker
Like I hate great British bake off. And that's a very unpopular opinion. Most people like it. Okay, well, dogs are not superior to cats. You hate dogs?
00:37:16
Speaker
Yes. There you go. That's a great one. I hate dogs. Most people like dogs. I've bled. They jump on me. they just They just want to be all up in my fucking business all the time.
00:37:29
Speaker
They're slobbery. Their noses are always wet. Boy dogs always have a little lipstick. I don't care. nasty. The lipstick is Not my favorite, and I don't know how I'm going to deal with it once I have a boy dog. I do not like Cut it off.
00:37:44
Speaker
What the hell is wrong with you? Oh, my God. I'm kidding. Probably. i I'm literally kidding. Everyone calm the There's a thing in, this is super off topic. yeah ah So when people show horses, um boy horses can choose to pull their penis up or not. and um And so they've like, some people train their horse to like pull it up but during shows because it's more fun.
00:38:13
Speaker
aesthetically pleasing yeah besides i do have a course i do have a corsage on in the prom photos ah i should have i wish would slap it why would i slap it that i wasn't sure wouldn't slap at that now i'm trying to find out if anna's uh groomsmen had boutonnieres sorry anna if you did We don't remember. What can I find?
00:38:40
Speaker
But dogs are just needy, and I don't need that. That's fair. Yeah. They are a lot. It's a very different energy from a cat. It is. It's more akin to having a child.
00:38:54
Speaker
yeah a toddler for what is it how long do these fuckers live like three to 12 years three what the hell i don't know health issues usually between eight and 15 eight like a really big dog than like seven yeah yeah the larger they are the lower the faster they're pushing up daisies jesus christ Yeah, you do hate dogs, Sam.
00:39:20
Speaker
All right, so let's make our top three. hi She's fine. She's fine. I would probably, if I had to make a top three out of everything we've given, I'd put GBBO first. Sure.
00:39:32
Speaker
Concerts. Yeah. Dogs. But people hate dogs. What about the
00:39:37
Speaker
I think you're scared of the ocean. I don't think you hate the ocean. I don't like the ocean. I don't understand the draw. Convince me otherwise. I don't think you hate the ocean. You said you don't hate the ocean.
00:39:49
Speaker
i believe Mara hates dogs with her heart. That's true. I feel it. Fine.
00:39:59
Speaker
What else do you want to try and try and lobby for? Yeah. Thank you. Dogs are second. Also, I think that a lot of people don't like dogs, but the people that love dogs...
00:40:13
Speaker
like really well it's the same like cats there are people who love cats and there are lot people who hate cats i
00:40:22
Speaker
I hate interacting with stranger dogs, but i still think they're cute and adorable and like are a good companion. For other people. and Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah So like I wouldn't ever like, no, that dog to somebody's face.
00:40:39
Speaker
Are you trying to make that you're using that argument that you kind of think dogs are cute to put this at number two? No. Past my The Great British Bake Off is the Devil and I Hate Concerts.
00:40:52
Speaker
I think it goes Great British Baking Show and then say Probably Concerts and the Dogs. Fine. Sorry. Fine. Hey, you know what? You didn't let me sweep.
00:41:04
Speaker
So. No. What was your third one? Patrick. i remember being, yeah. Patrick and David. That one's weaker. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you got one on the board. Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:15
Speaker
You know who agrees with you on the concerts thing is Jeff Bezos. So you're in good company. Oh my God. where you hear that? I don't like that at all.
00:41:27
Speaker
Wow. What a good input. Oh no. We do need to, can we add to the subject's top three unpopular opinions? Cause I already got that list ready to go. Sure. Let's do it.
00:41:41
Speaker
It'll be. i know yeah it'll be the same yes she admits it but they are i actually think that's pretty similar i don't because my ah but unpopular opinions aren't around things i hate oh the hate part it's the hate part that yeah my the these aren't things i hate got it these are just things i feel strongly about that other people think is whack You would give up ever watching TV again before watching any great British Bake Off. You hate that. If i if i Yes, yeah.
00:42:18
Speaker
That's wild. I'm talking my other list. Oh, okay. I previously made a list of just unpopular opinions. Okay. Before making before I realized we were supposed to do things you hate that are un unpopular opinions.
00:42:31
Speaker
I made a whole other list that I would like Yeah, things hate that are unpopular opinions. Flat earthers. What? That would make sense to me. that can be an honorable mention for play on words.
00:42:45
Speaker
How is it a play on words? It's the literal sentence of the topic.
00:42:53
Speaker
Do you agree with that interpretation? You're over here just not picking a fight. I'm letting you take it. Yeah, look at She's making me cook because she doesn't want to. trying to get out of the kitchen. i don't know how to explain it differently is the problem. I don't have any way to like. It's things you hate.
00:43:06
Speaker
I understand what you're saying. I know. I just don't know how to explain it differently. It's things you hate and other people don't hate it. That's basically what we're saying. It's not things you hate that are unpopular.
00:43:18
Speaker
Like. Sure. I hate flatter. That's where I thought this was going to end. and So that's why I didn't do anything. Yeah. Thanks for
