WEBVTT 00:00:01.129 --> 00:00:03.770 Hi guys, welcome to episode three of the Almost 00:00:03.770 --> 00:00:08.029 Living Podcast. Welcome. I want to start off 00:00:08.029 --> 00:00:10.789 by saying in the last 10 minutes of the previous 00:00:10.789 --> 00:00:14.849 episode, I hit a button on my microphone and 00:00:14.849 --> 00:00:17.269 I thought I turned it off. Did not turn it off. 00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:22.910 I did, though, turn on an echo feature. So for 00:00:22.910 --> 00:00:26.089 the last 10 minutes, there's just a crazy echo. 00:00:27.530 --> 00:00:30.390 I wanted to just... I wanted to just address 00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:34.189 that, clear the air. Hopefully will not happen 00:00:34.189 --> 00:00:36.549 again. I will just be very careful to not touch 00:00:36.549 --> 00:00:40.170 anything on this microphone. But hey, welcome, 00:00:40.310 --> 00:00:42.350 guys. We're just going to jump straight into 00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:47.030 it. I have a little bit of pop culture I want 00:00:47.030 --> 00:00:52.210 to talk today. We can start with music. So Doja 00:00:52.210 --> 00:00:57.229 Cat released an album this past Friday called 00:00:57.229 --> 00:01:03.869 V. And I was very much tuned in because I love 00:01:03.869 --> 00:01:08.109 Doja Cat. She is an artist that I just really 00:01:08.109 --> 00:01:10.689 thoroughly enjoy. I respect her artistry. I respect 00:01:10.689 --> 00:01:15.810 her craft. I think she's so creative, so talented. 00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:19.370 Is she crazy? Is she a little bit problematic? 00:01:19.870 --> 00:01:23.450 Yeah. And I think honestly, at this point, like 00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:26.069 the people who are really talented and really 00:01:26.069 --> 00:01:31.129 like don't know just stepping outside of the 00:01:31.129 --> 00:01:34.049 box and like doing like you kind of just have 00:01:34.049 --> 00:01:36.609 to be crazy is basically what I'm just trying 00:01:36.609 --> 00:01:39.670 to say I think the people who are crazy are the 00:01:39.670 --> 00:01:46.689 people that are the most creative ie Kanye ie 00:01:46.689 --> 00:01:49.769 like I don't know like kind of just like low 00:01:49.769 --> 00:01:53.709 -key any name any like really successful like 00:01:53.709 --> 00:01:56.939 very talented person like there's probably something 00:01:56.939 --> 00:02:00.319 deeply wrong with them. But yeah, Doja Cat, she's 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.260 done some things in the past, you know, she was 00:02:02.260 --> 00:02:05.420 in chat rooms, she was showing feet to white 00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:07.459 nationalists. And we're not going to talk about 00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:09.520 that. But we are going to talk about her music. 00:02:10.819 --> 00:02:14.819 Because, yeah, listen to the album. It wasn't 00:02:14.819 --> 00:02:18.699 my favorite of hers. I feel like for her last 00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:22.280 album, the Scarlett album, I think to me when 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:26.090 I listened to that one, through. It was more 00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:29.449 iconic. I liked more songs from it. But also 00:02:29.449 --> 00:02:31.590 I think it may just be a case of like, you know, 00:02:31.610 --> 00:02:33.729 sometimes you have to give things a few listens 00:02:33.729 --> 00:02:38.030 before you're like, really into it. So maybe 00:02:38.030 --> 00:02:40.949 that'll be the case with this album. But I did 00:02:40.949 --> 00:02:43.750 like it. I thought it was really fun. It she 00:02:43.750 --> 00:02:48.919 was going for like an 80s vibe with this album, 00:02:49.340 --> 00:02:52.819 so you can definitely hear that. It's very disco 00:02:52.819 --> 00:02:59.800 -y, it's very like, you know, 80s. The three 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.919 songs that I really like from it, the first one 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:06.439 is Ah Men. As soon as I saw the title for that 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.020 song, I was like, I feel like I'm probably gonna 00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:12.259 like it. If it has anything to do with men and, 00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:15.180 you know, a critique on that, I'm very much down. 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.560 That one was really fun. It's very like. All 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.659 of it is very 80s, but that one specifically, 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.219 it almost is like spooky, like Halloweeny vibes 00:03:27.219 --> 00:03:33.860 and almost like thriller esque, just in the like 00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:36.860 spooky, but also like disco dancey, like I don't 00:03:36.860 --> 00:03:40.900 really know. Lovely acts of service I thought 00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:46.400 was cute to me. Axe of Service on this album 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:54.300 is Like Axe of Service is the Agora Hills On 00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:56.919 this album if that makes any sense Agora Hills 00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:02.759 is a Doja Cat song Pretty sure on the last album. 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.979 Yeah, I think it was on Scarlet very just like 00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:13.039 cute flirty like Poppy like I don't know cute 00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:17.779 um and then happy i really liked on this song 00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:20.980 but or on this album those were the ones i liked 00:04:20.980 --> 00:04:23.199 like that i have liked and that i've been like 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:28.860 listening to over ova and ova but um yeah the 00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:32.600 thing about doja cat too is like even if i don't 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.699 particularly like a song that she drops or it's 00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:38.639 not something that i'm like gonna keep listening 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.939 to it's like can still recognize the fact that 00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:46.439 it's a good song and that's kind of how I felt 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.779 listening to this whole album like Where there 00:04:48.779 --> 00:04:50.920 were a few songs where I was like, okay, like 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.300 I don't really care for it. But like they're 00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:57.579 this is objectively like a good quality piece 00:04:57.579 --> 00:05:01.720 of music like The instrumentals her the beats 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.800 that she does and like I don't know I Don't know 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.930 if Doja Cat makes her beats or makes all - I 00:05:11.930 --> 00:05:15.389 don't really know. I have, like, witnessed her 00:05:15.389 --> 00:05:18.189 on live playing around with music. Like, she 00:05:18.189 --> 00:05:21.029 does know how to produce, I'm pretty sure. Um, 00:05:21.029 --> 00:05:22.990 so I'm not really sure what the vibes are for 00:05:22.990 --> 00:05:26.810 that. I did hear someone told me that this was 00:05:26.810 --> 00:05:31.569 the only album by a female rapper where, like, 00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:35.709 like, it's just Doja Cat on the credits. I believe. 00:05:36.350 --> 00:05:40.649 Believe. I believe. um like no one else helped 00:05:40.649 --> 00:05:42.889 her write anything but like i'm sure she didn't 00:05:42.889 --> 00:05:45.370 produce everything i don't know i don't know 00:05:45.370 --> 00:05:48.230 um but her instrumentals the beats like are always 00:05:48.230 --> 00:05:53.110 always always top tier um her singing her rapping 00:05:53.110 --> 00:05:55.170 like the fact that she can just do both like 00:05:55.170 --> 00:05:59.009 she she's gonna give you the a chorus she's gonna 00:05:59.009 --> 00:06:00.470 give you a ballad she's gonna give you a singing 00:06:00.470 --> 00:06:03.129 moment and then she's gonna rap and like she's 00:06:03.129 --> 00:06:06.430 just brilliant i saw her in concert for scarlett 00:06:06.430 --> 00:06:10.480 the last album and It was just amazing like she 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.319 is a performer She can fucking dance she can 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.379 rap she can sing she can do it all she gives 00:06:16.379 --> 00:06:22.139 visuals. She does everything Also when I saw 00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:26.240 her I spice was the opener and I remember me 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.259 and the people that I went to this concert with 00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:32.079 we got to the arena like a little bit late and 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.680 When we got there I spice was already performing 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.439 and we were like fuck or like I was like mad 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.240 because I was like damn like we're missing this 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:41.360 show like we were like running through the arena 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.899 trying to find our seats and then we finally 00:06:43.899 --> 00:06:47.439 get to our seats and like sit down and then Ice 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.680 Spice is just on stage twerking and then I was 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:53.060 like okay and then that was just kind of the 00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:56.540 whole performance for the like I don't know 15 00:06:56.540 --> 00:06:59.000 minutes that she performed because she doesn't 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.019 really have much of a discography or especially 00:07:02.019 --> 00:07:07.339 at that point um like a year ago So, yeah, that 00:07:07.339 --> 00:07:09.920 was like that was kind of whack. I mean, I I 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:14.100 wasn't expecting much but I also was like Yeah, 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.639 like are we gonna do anything else? But yeah, 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.120 those is amazing. Love her. She's the pop princess 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:26.100 I Just think she's great. I Enjoyed the album. 00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:29.300 I thought it was fun. I love her because she's 00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:33.199 gonna give you an era with a new album and I 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.699 feel like Not every artist does that. Another 00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:39.560 artist that I really admire because he does this 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.759 really well is Tyler Creator. When he drops a 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.379 new album, you're getting a new persona, you're 00:07:45.379 --> 00:07:50.000 getting a new vibe. The tones are like, it's 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.259 an era with the albums and I feel like Doja Cat 00:07:53.259 --> 00:07:56.800 has kind of been doing that with the V album. 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.339 She deleted all her old shit. I don't know, she 00:07:59.339 --> 00:08:01.579 shaved her head. Everyone was freaking out about 00:08:01.579 --> 00:08:05.129 that for some reason. um but she's like really 00:08:05.129 --> 00:08:08.730 stepping into this like this era so i really 00:08:08.730 --> 00:08:11.709 like that i think that's great another album 00:08:11.709 --> 00:08:14.009 that i listened to recently which is not a new 00:08:14.009 --> 00:08:16.850 album it literally came out in may i don't know 00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:19.230 what i was doing because this is so it's rico 00:08:19.230 --> 00:08:25.209 nasty's um newest album which the way i don't 00:08:25.209 --> 00:08:27.250 even remember what like i didn't even look at 00:08:27.250 --> 00:08:29.449 the title i just listened to it i love rico nasty 00:08:29.449 --> 00:08:31.939 she's one of my favorite female rappers so I 00:08:31.939 --> 00:08:35.080 remember like I was there and I was I was actively 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:40.340 active when she was promoting this new album 00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:41.960 and I listened to the songs that she was dropping 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.379 but I just never listened to it in full because 00:08:45.379 --> 00:08:47.299 I like like with artists that I like if they're 00:08:47.299 --> 00:08:48.700 dropping an album like you know I want to sit 00:08:48.700 --> 00:08:51.799 down and like take the time to listen to it thoroughly 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.559 and not just like hear bits and pieces like but 00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:00.149 yeah listen to the Rico album The Rico album 00:09:00.149 --> 00:09:03.909 was fantastic and I liked a lot of songs from 00:09:03.909 --> 00:09:11.870 that one Specifically son of a gun Y 'all listen 00:09:11.870 --> 00:09:16.090 to that shit Rico just like I mean I've been 00:09:16.090 --> 00:09:17.570 listening to her since like middle school high 00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:25.450 school.

The slow rush tour. Okay, like. I remember 00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:57.500 I was on my phone somewhere, got an ad or something 00:10:57.500 --> 00:11:00.639 where I saw that he was, or no, maybe I was just 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.419 on Spotify and I saw that he was performing in 00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:05.500 Virginia when I used to live there and I was 00:11:05.500 --> 00:11:09.539 like, shit. Then I clicked on it and it said 00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:14.299 $90 tickets. And I was like, bitch, that's nothing. 00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:17.500 So me and my friends went and it was. Genuinely 00:11:17.500 --> 00:11:19.940 one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.840 I'm not religious. It was a religious experience. 00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:30.720 Um he's just insane like him just Just just artists 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.580 who are just like so talented like his voice 00:11:33.580 --> 00:11:37.759 his Ability to produce like it was it was just 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.340 it was it was lovely. It was such a lovely show 00:11:41.340 --> 00:11:47.519 Um, so he's dropping an album I think in October. 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:57.220 And he's coming to New York and I, he, you know, 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:01.159 tickets went live or whatever. And I like was 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:02.720 trying to get in there and see what the prices 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.580 were looking like. And I remember just clicking 00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:08.100 on the website for Ticketmaster. And it was like, 00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:15.799 oh, you're the 113 thousandth. Person in line 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.059 for tickets and I was like, okay, so I actually 00:12:19.059 --> 00:12:20.960 have things I have to do so I'm not gonna just 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.659 sit here and ref I hate buying tickets for things 00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:26.399 is so stressful. We're not gonna talk about that 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.440 but um And it's also like damn like because I 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.440 think the album drops and then like Two days 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.059 later is when he's coming to New York and he 00:12:38.059 --> 00:12:42.379 has two dates here and it's like I know I'm gonna 00:12:42.379 --> 00:12:45.600 like it, but why do artists do that? Where they 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.919 like drop, they release an album and then they 00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.600 have tour dates, like literally days. It's like, 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.500 damn, give me a second to like listen to the 00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:56.779 music and like get familiar with it. But I don't 00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:59.580 know. I mean, I don't even know if I'll be able 00:12:59.580 --> 00:13:05.779 to see him again. Hopefully I will. He's just 00:13:05.779 --> 00:13:12.169 so wonderful. Okay. Let's move on, let's move 00:13:12.169 --> 00:13:22.289 on. I want to talk about... I want to talk about 00:13:22.289 --> 00:13:28.149 men calling women goth and being wrong about 00:13:28.149 --> 00:13:32.309 it. This is very random, but it's something that 00:13:32.309 --> 00:13:38.700 I've experienced and my memory was jogged. About 00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:43.779 this like just phenomenon Because I saw a clip 00:13:43.779 --> 00:13:47.879 from you guys know Bobby all tough Off whatever 00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.120 however you say her last name. She's like that 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.919 girl. She has a very monotone voice she People 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.200 said that she was like a plant of some sort because 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.139 it was just like no one had ever heard of her 00:14:00.139 --> 00:14:04.120 and then all of a sudden she was just coming 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:08.340 out of the woodwork interviewing Drake and Lil 00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:11.679 Yachty and just all these big artists out of 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.480 nowhere on her podcast. You probably know her 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.720 from the Drake one, because that was very popular. 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:22.580 I think they were in bed. Or maybe that was just 00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:27.539 the second one. I don't know. But I saw a clip 00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:31.230 from Drake had gone back on her podcast and He 00:14:31.230 --> 00:14:35.309 was talking about women dating, whatever. And 00:14:35.309 --> 00:14:38.330 he was like, he was like, I just feel like my 00:14:38.330 --> 00:14:40.629 type is like goth women. Like, I feel like I'm 00:14:40.629 --> 00:14:43.830 going to end up with like a goth woman. Like, 00:14:43.830 --> 00:14:45.370 she's just going to be like tatted and whatever 00:14:45.370 --> 00:14:47.230 and blah, blah, blah, blah. And I didn't finish 00:14:47.230 --> 00:14:48.710 listening to the whole clip because I had heard 00:14:48.710 --> 00:14:53.830 enough. I had absolutely heard enough. And I 00:14:53.830 --> 00:14:57.330 was fed up with the lies and fed up with the 00:14:57.330 --> 00:15:03.629 posturing. What are you talking about? You are 00:15:03.629 --> 00:15:08.149 a liar. For Drake to be like, my type is goth 00:15:08.149 --> 00:15:11.649 women. No it is not. When have you, when have 00:15:11.649 --> 00:15:15.309 we, Drake has been famous basically as long as 00:15:15.309 --> 00:15:20.470 I've been alive. When has anyone ever seen Drake 00:15:20.470 --> 00:15:29.759 with a goth woman? Quickly. Quickly. That has 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.159 never happened. Your type is not goth women. 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.879 I don't know what you're talking about. You've 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:39.340 never been seen with a goth person. Your type 00:15:39.340 --> 00:15:44.320 is Instagram baddies and that's fine. But live 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:48.639 in that and like be open and transparent about 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:53.019 that. And it just triggered me because it made 00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:56.519 me think about all the times men have called 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:05.860 me goth. Do I look goth like granted I like I 00:16:05.860 --> 00:16:08.379 Have been out. I have been out in the club before 00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:12.519 This was maybe This was that's I don't fucking 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:17.740 know some point Maybe this year. Um, I was out 00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:22.360 in the club. I was wearing I Had a black like 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:29.580 lace corset top lace up corset top green skirt 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.720 Black tights, were they ripped? Yes, sure. And 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:42.679 then I have my platform demonia boots. They're 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.700 just like, you know, knee high, like black lace 00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:49.879 up boots, whatever. So it's like, okay, am I 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.740 wearing a lot of black? And do I wear a lot of 00:16:52.740 --> 00:16:58.539 black? Sure. I like boots. I like jewelry. I 00:16:58.539 --> 00:17:04.769 like I don't know, like I would maybe describe 00:17:04.769 --> 00:17:07.910 myself as like kind of alternative sometimes. 00:17:08.289 --> 00:17:12.410 I can take that label. But I had a man come up 00:17:12.410 --> 00:17:14.230 to me in the club when I was wearing that and 00:17:14.230 --> 00:17:16.369 he was like, oh, I love your style. Like whatever. 00:17:16.609 --> 00:17:19.549 I was like, thanks. He was like, yeah, it's like 00:17:19.549 --> 00:17:27.490 kind of goth. He's like, no. No, it's just unfortunately 00:17:27.490 --> 00:17:32.390 not goth. I've had men tell me that on multiple 00:17:32.390 --> 00:17:34.089 occasions like just being like, oh, I love your 00:17:34.089 --> 00:17:38.250 style like It's like kind of goth and I like 00:17:38.250 --> 00:17:41.049 I just feel like men just say things that they 00:17:41.049 --> 00:17:44.630 don't really know what they mean and it's like 00:17:44.630 --> 00:17:46.970 these things have meanings like you you can't 00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:51.230 just like throw these words out like You just 00:17:51.230 --> 00:17:54.490 stop stop doing that because men all the time 00:17:54.490 --> 00:17:57.690 Oh, I want a goth baddie. I want a goth. I want 00:17:57.690 --> 00:18:01.630 a goth. No, you don't No, you actually don't. 00:18:02.109 --> 00:18:05.230 I think what you do want is a girl who maybe 00:18:05.230 --> 00:18:06.970 likes to wear black, who maybe likes to wear 00:18:06.970 --> 00:18:10.410 boots, who maybe puts fucking eyeliner on. But 00:18:10.410 --> 00:18:13.750 like, none of that is goth. And that's okay. 00:18:14.089 --> 00:18:17.990 Like I goth and punk and all of that shit is 00:18:17.990 --> 00:18:25.069 really cool. That's just not me. And yeah, I 00:18:25.069 --> 00:18:27.009 think we need to just be very honest about that. 00:18:27.009 --> 00:18:32.029 And I think Don't know men just like find these 00:18:32.029 --> 00:18:35.430 like labels and and these things and they just 00:18:35.430 --> 00:18:37.309 like throw them around and it's like I don't 00:18:37.309 --> 00:18:40.730 actually think You guys know what you're talking 00:18:40.730 --> 00:18:47.670 about So stop calling me goth Stop it Never been 00:18:47.670 --> 00:18:51.009 goth never gave goth. I don't think goth people 00:18:51.009 --> 00:18:55.529 would identify with me And that's okay, and I 00:18:55.529 --> 00:18:58.029 think we need to just be real about that moving 00:18:58.029 --> 00:19:04.339 on I wanna talk about something that really grinds 00:19:04.339 --> 00:19:10.220 my gears. And I deal, I run into this a lot because 00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:13.660 I work in the food industry. So I talk to a lot 00:19:13.660 --> 00:19:16.619 of people every day and I have a lot of just 00:19:16.619 --> 00:19:20.099 like short, quick interactions with people. But 00:19:20.099 --> 00:19:25.200 I just wanna talk about the concept of how are 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:29.500 you in America specifically. And I think this 00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:31.339 is something that has been talked about before 00:19:31.339 --> 00:19:36.500 this is not a new You know, this is not new discourse 00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:45.180 But I get so annoyed frustrated confused with 00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:51.519 interacting with people who Ask how I am but 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.339 don't actually care about the answer and are 00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:57.440 just asking it because it's like we live in this 00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:00.900 like Neurotypical world where like there are 00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:03.180 these customs and like things that we have to 00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:15.000 do Sorry about that siren guys Hate that Okay, 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.859 um, there are these just like things that we 00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:22.019 have to do or we feel like we have to do When 00:20:22.019 --> 00:20:26.500 interacting with people that you know We have 00:20:26.500 --> 00:20:28.019 like we feel like we have to do these things 00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:33.140 in order to not be rude or whatever But the way 00:20:33.140 --> 00:20:36.960 that I feel is if you don't care about how I 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:47.680 am don't ask me Don't ask me simple and I just 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:49.640 think it's sometimes there's such a waste of 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:53.299 time like I I do I will so many times will have 00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:56.859 people come up to me and be like Hi, how are 00:20:56.859 --> 00:21:00.500 you? So I'm gonna do, and it's like, oh, wait, 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:06.980 hold on. Hold the fuck on. Why, why did you just 00:21:06.980 --> 00:21:09.839 do, why are you asking me how I am? You're literally 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:15.819 not even taking a pause to like have me give 00:21:15.819 --> 00:21:19.880 you an answer on how I, like, you're using how 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.240 are you as like a rhetorical question, sure, 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.680 but like don't, just don't ask me.

They'll come up to me and 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.220 they'll be like hi. How are you? I'm like, good, 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:59.039 how are you? They're like, I'm good.

I don't like, why did we just 00:22:06.380 --> 00:22:10.079 do that? That was such an utter waste of time. 00:22:10.099 --> 00:22:12.720 Because for me, like, if someone's gonna ask 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.980 me how I am, and like, obviously with these quick 00:22:15.980 --> 00:22:17.460 short interactions, like, you're not gonna like 00:22:17.460 --> 00:22:20.359 sit and talk, but like, in general, in real life, 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:22.839 if someone is like, how are you? Like, I'll be 00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.529 like, good or I'm okay or whatever and follow 00:22:26.529 --> 00:22:29.490 it up with like something that has maybe happened 00:22:29.490 --> 00:22:32.430 or like what I'm up to in my day or like giving 00:22:32.430 --> 00:22:35.769 context as to like, here's how I am, this is 00:22:35.769 --> 00:22:39.549 why. Like I'm actually gonna answer your question. 00:22:39.750 --> 00:22:43.630 I'm not, I don't see the point like, and just 00:22:43.630 --> 00:22:46.490 being, how are you? Good, how are you? Good, 00:22:46.750 --> 00:22:50.349 okay. It's like, that was so stupid. Like can 00:22:50.349 --> 00:22:53.289 we all agree that that's really dumb? and it's 00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:55.670 like i just get so frustrated because i'm like 00:22:55.670 --> 00:23:00.190 this is it's just dumb it's a waste of time like 00:23:00.190 --> 00:23:03.230 you feel maybe better or you feel like a good 00:23:03.230 --> 00:23:06.029 person for like doing this or like having this 00:23:06.029 --> 00:23:07.789 exchange with me but i just feel like that was 00:23:07.789 --> 00:23:11.150 a waste of time and it's honestly just disrespectful 00:23:11.150 --> 00:23:15.009 because it's just like it's posturing to me it's 00:23:15.009 --> 00:23:18.509 just like well this this is i like do you guys 00:23:18.509 --> 00:23:20.650 know what i'm saying like am i making any sense 00:23:20.650 --> 00:23:28.089 at all I just think it's dumb. It's like there's 00:23:28.089 --> 00:23:29.650 literally no point in being like, how are you? 00:23:29.750 --> 00:23:34.589 Good. How are you? Good. Okay. We learned nothing 00:23:34.589 --> 00:23:37.170 about each other. We didn't actually like, and 00:23:37.170 --> 00:23:39.130 it's also like half the time you're lying. It's 00:23:39.130 --> 00:23:40.990 like, I'm not most of the time when I'm like, 00:23:41.009 --> 00:23:44.230 I'm good. It's like, I'm fine. I'm okay. Like 00:23:44.230 --> 00:23:47.849 I'm not good. Like we're all just like trying 00:23:47.849 --> 00:23:50.930 to pretend like we're doing amazing. What I just 00:23:50.930 --> 00:23:53.049 don't but it's definitely more annoying when 00:23:53.049 --> 00:23:56.150 people are like, how are you? So, um, I'm it's 00:23:56.150 --> 00:23:59.670 like, okay And it's so funny because a lot of 00:23:59.670 --> 00:24:03.529 the time when people are like, how are you? I 00:24:03.529 --> 00:24:08.049 just like won't respond Because I don't want 00:24:08.049 --> 00:24:12.890 to take the energy out of my body to Move my 00:24:12.890 --> 00:24:14.869 lips to form a response. So I'll just say nothing 00:24:14.869 --> 00:24:19.170 and they they're they don't like Allow they don't 00:24:19.170 --> 00:24:21.589 care. They don't like allow a space for me to 00:24:21.589 --> 00:24:23.930 like actually respond most of the time They don't 00:24:23.930 --> 00:24:25.710 even notice that I didn't say anything. They're 00:24:25.710 --> 00:24:29.650 not actually listening like they don't care so 00:24:29.650 --> 00:24:35.670 I just find it so funny like People just do not 00:24:35.670 --> 00:24:40.109 care And I think it's just it's very it's very 00:24:40.109 --> 00:24:42.250 neurotypical It's very also like I don't know 00:24:42.250 --> 00:24:44.369 something about it gives very American culture. 00:24:44.470 --> 00:24:47.400 Like obviously you ask people how they are all 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.299 over the world but i think in other places like 00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:53.019 people are just more real and candid and are 00:24:53.019 --> 00:24:55.740 like actually giving you an upfront answer whereas 00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:59.400 here we just feel like we have to do this stupid 00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:07.660 like how are you i'm good how are you i'm good 00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:16.599 okay like why the fuck are we doing this What 00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.140 was the point of any of that? I don't know. Maybe 00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:21.500 like call me cynical. Call me a fucking asshole. 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.980 Call me a bitch. I don't care. To me, it just 00:25:25.980 --> 00:25:29.500 feels really dumb. Okay, moving on to the next 00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:32.059 pop culture thing. Lana posted videos or posted 00:25:32.059 --> 00:25:35.480 pictures from her wedding because I think it's 00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:40.039 her year anniversary.
