  A heated argument breaks out in the Boy Meets World, the spinoff,
• 0:04
  Pod Meets World podcast.
• 0:07
  Bitcoin is doing pretty shaky right now. Dan Crenshaw caught in a hot mic moment.
• 0:12
  Lester Holt has stepped down and Joy Reid is out. My name is Brandon Fogle. This is Evolution.
• 0:19
  Let's dive into it. So we're going to take a couple looks. I wanted to start off with Bitcoin.
• 0:23
  It's been up and down lately. actually Bitcoin is going down.
• 0:26
  Right now it's at the just under $90,000 mark, which is we talk about a few
• 0:32
  years back and that would have seemed pretty astronomical.
• 0:35
  I think Bitcoin is going to plummet. I am not a financial advisor,
• 0:39
  but we have seen that Bitcoin shoots up and then it crashes.
• 0:44
  But the trend is always going upward for Bitcoin. So I am extremely hesitant.
• 0:51
  I would not sell any Bitcoin, whatever.
• 0:54
  My heart is a little more shaky itself in putting all reliance on Bitcoin.
• 0:59
  But I also know Bitcoin is the future, but maybe the distant, distant future.
• 1:05
  But I'm of the opinion, if you have Bitcoin, hold the line, hold the line.
• 1:10
  But that's just me. So there's a lot of stuff happening.
• 1:14
  Just so you can kind of see where Bitcoin is up, going down.
• 1:16
  It had reached over well over 100,000, and now it's down, like, right at 88,000.
• 1:23
  We've seen Bitcoin, like, I remember when it was at 9,000, we were like,
• 1:26
  oh my gosh, that was like maybe 2015, 2016-ish, or I don't know,
• 1:31
  all those years kind of run together.
• 1:33
  But it was, it seemed like it shot up, but then it drastically plummeted,
• 1:38
  and everybody was selling.
• 1:39
  You know, it's tough to gauge Bitcoin because it goes with the whales.
• 1:45
  The whales that own Bitcoin kind of determine what's happening.
• 1:49
  And they buy a bunch and then they sell off.
• 1:52
  Meanwhile, the little guy like you and me who wants to get in the game and have
• 1:57
  some crypto. I mean, I try to get some crypto out there.
• 2:00
  Out of them all, Bitcoin is the gold of the future, you know?
• 2:03
  So that's what I would say. So I'm hesitant, very hesitant to sell, but I'm not a day trader.
• 2:09
  I'm definitely not a day trader. I don't have the heart for it.
• 2:12
  I don't think I could be a day trader.
• 2:15
  In other news, Dan Crenshaw, I don't know if you saw this. We're going to take a look at what he said.
• 2:20
  I got caught on a hot mic after an interview, and he was asked about his views on Tucker Carlson.
• 2:27
  You know, this is off the record. This is off the record. But it seems like
• 2:30
  if you were in the public office or any position that is out there,
• 2:34
  you know, you're a public figure.
• 2:35
  You're never off the record. You're never off the record. I mean,
• 2:39
  personal citizen is, you know, they can be off the record or whatever,
• 2:41
  but a public office representative, whatever, they gotta be ready every second
• 2:47
  of the day, you know? They cannot let their guard down.
• 2:49
  There's people, too many hot mics, there's too many hidden cameras and all that,
• 2:53
  and Dan Crenshaw got caught in the crossfire.
• 2:55
  Let's just take a look at what he said. Have you ever met Tucker?
• 3:00
  So there it is. You couldn't really hear it if you're just listening,
• 3:03
  but he said, have you ever met Tucker? What did you think of him?
• 3:07
  And then Dan Crenshaw, like, thinking he's not being heard by anybody else, says...
• 3:12
  If I find them, I'll F and kill them. I don't know how you could not like Tucker Carlson.
• 3:17
  I do not understand that one bit, but obviously he's got some beef with them.
• 3:21
  You got to be careful what you say. And to say something about Tucker,
• 3:24
  you got to know, you got to be aware, like that people are going to,
• 3:28
  it's going to get out, you know?
• 3:30
  And I mean, I think ultimately, if we're willing to say it out loud,
• 3:34
  I think a lot of, I think it needs to be said.
• 3:36
  And I don't think, I don't think he really cares.
• 3:39
  I don't think Dan Crenshaw would care that people heard about, heard it.
• 3:42
  I think, I mean, you wouldn't say it unless you wanted it to,
• 3:45
  in the inkling of your mind to get out there and somehow, you know, like he has to know.
• 3:51
  He obviously knows that he's just done with an interview and this happens.
• 3:57
  And then he says that that quickly. But why you would dislike Tucker Carlson?
• 4:02
  I do not get it. Does anyone else out there not like Tucker Carlson?
• 4:05
  I think when he was at Fox, I think people could, you know, because people just
• 4:09
  immediate distaste for Fox. But Tucker, now he's got his own gig,
• 4:14
  his own thing. He was, you know, let go at Fox.
• 4:17
  And everything he says is gold, I think.
• 4:20
  Everything Tucker says is gold. You know, he's, I guess it's all a part of how
• 4:24
  you say things a lot of the times. It's how you say things.
• 4:27
  But like, Tucker is not shy away from being bold and having an opinion.
• 4:32
  And he voices that very clearly.
• 4:34
  In other news, Lester Holt and Joy Reid are, they, for different reasons,
• 4:39
  different reasons. Lester Holt, he's kind of at the end of his game, you know.
• 4:43
  He wants to kind of move on to greener pastures and just he's done. He's put his time in.
• 4:49
  Joy Reid, on the other hand, it seemed like she was, you know,
• 4:52
  it was a decision from the top.
• 4:54
  It says, you need to step down, and they cut her, you know. A lot of people
• 4:57
  are jumping up and down and thrilled and all that about Joy Reid.
• 5:02
  I get that, you know. I didn't study too much up on Joy Reid.
• 5:05
  I didn't watch. I don't think I watched one of her shows. All I would ever see was clips of her.
• 5:10
  And it seemed like the things she would say, I mean, that would make,
• 5:14
  it would make you hold your nose a little bit.
• 5:17
  For me, you know, like I couldn't, some of the opinions she had was tough for
• 5:22
  me. It was definitely tough for me.
• 5:23
  And I can get why people are thrilled that she is no longer there.
• 5:29
  She was at MSNBC for a while now, you know, and she had a megaphone for a long time.
• 5:36
  Every time somebody gets let go, it seems like something better can come along.
• 5:40
  So it was her time to get out. You know, we can look at it as like,
• 5:43
  yay, she doesn't have that position anymore.
• 5:45
  But for her, it might be a blessing. It might be a blessing.
• 5:49
  You know, you might have been there where you.
• 5:51
  You weren't going to make as much of an impact for your cause and for your beliefs and all that.
• 5:56
  So maybe for her, it can be a good thing. You know, there's a bright side to
• 6:00
  every, we are all humans. We are all people.
• 6:02
  So, I mean, her getting let go. I don't think it's not, I don't,
• 6:05
  I hope I don't ever get to the point where I am thrilled that somebody gets fired.
• 6:10
  I don't ever want to be that type of person because no matter how much money
• 6:14
  you think they got or how much, you know,
• 6:17
  publicity or how fame they have, they're still a person, You know,
• 6:21
  so maybe for her, this can be a, a better way forward and maybe her to check
• 6:27
  some of her positions, you know?
• 6:28
  And I think the people that are on the other side, if we extend grace to her,
• 6:32
  maybe she might extend grace to the opinions she disagrees with, you know?
• 6:37
  Meanwhile, I got Bitcoin is just going bananas. I don't know if Bitcoin,
• 6:40
  that's why I could not, I could not ever be like a day trader in Bitcoin.
• 6:45
  My heart would probably leap out of my chest. I would just, I would panic,
• 6:49
  be in panic mode constantly and stress constantly.
• 6:52
  That's why, I mean, dog brokers, they, they got an extra pair of skin,
• 6:58
  you know, to wear just to be able to, to get through the day and not,
• 7:01
  you know, cry every night.
• 7:03
  You know, I don't know the, the news of the day, at least for me,
• 7:06
  this is what stood out to me.
• 7:07
  And it was Maitland Ward went on pod meets world, which was a spinoff of boy meets world.
• 7:14
  And there was a confrontation with her and Danielle Fischel,
• 7:18
  who was the well-known beloved figure Topanga on Boy Meets World.
• 7:23
  If you all remember Boy Meets World, I grew up on Boy Meets World and
• 7:28
  The later years, I kind of fell away and I had to look up like,
• 7:32
  what is Ben Savage doing right now?
• 7:34
  Because he's not a part of this posse anymore. He's kind of left the building.
• 7:38
  He actually ran for Congress last year. He, as a Democrat in California, he ran for Congress.
• 7:45
  He did not win, but I had to look up a video of him going on just some nightly
• 7:50
  news and talking and telling about his position and what he believes and what he wants to do.
• 7:54
  I mean, he's the boy that met world.
• 7:59
  He's a reasonable person. So I can get on board with him.
• 8:03
  I mean, I don't know if I could vote Democrat, but maybe he could persuade me. I don't know.
• 8:09
  But we'll see if his political future is bright.
• 8:12
  Let's take a look at what Maitland had to say with her in the crossfire between her and Topanga.
• 8:18
  You're trying to go at me now to get the ratings because you know that people
• 8:21
  will be interested in Maitland. I don't control you guys.
• 8:24
  I just want Maitland. Remember good times.
• 8:27
  No, Maitland, sorry. I'm not the one who wanted to go for ratings.
• 8:31
  There was some beef between us because I, and I didn't get it.
• 8:34
  So there's a lot of storylines happening there.
• 8:37
  And I know I'm not, I'm not TMZ.
• 8:41
  You know, I'm not, I, even in that, like, I'm, I can't, I don't think I could
• 8:45
  be a person that's paparazzi and just following celebs down the street and taking
• 8:50
  the pictures when they're not ready for it.
• 8:52
  But this story stood out to me because this story...
• 8:56
  I love Boy Meets World and anybody out there that is a 90s boy,
• 9:00
  you know, born in the 80s, obviously born in 1985, but I am a 90s boy.
• 9:06
  I love I love the 90s, 90s and everything about it. You know,
• 9:09
  that was when times were great. Times were great.
• 9:12
  The shows were fire. The shows were awesome.
• 9:15
  Boy Meets World was one of them. You know, TGIF, if anybody out there remembers
• 9:20
  TGIF and the shows that were on there, you know, I don't know if we're ever
• 9:25
  going to come back to such a wholesome time,
• 9:28
  a show that is teaching lessons, you know, like, and I don't know if everybody
• 9:33
  wants to, I mean, we progress as a society, you know, it's not,
• 9:36
  it's not Andy Griffith, you know, days anymore.
• 9:39
  We're, you know, it's not, I love Lucy anymore, but like this,
• 9:42
  it's, this is how it is now.
• 9:44
  But I can remember simpler times. I can remember when times were pretty dang sweet.
• 9:49
  And a fond memory for me was definitely Boy Meets World.
• 9:55
  And Maitland going on there. So there was some controversy. So she was in the
• 9:59
  later episodes when they kind of got a little bit older. Corey had grown up, you know.
• 10:03
  Eric was the funniest freaking dude ever, you know. He was the guy.
• 10:07
  And if you look at kind of his story and how they started him out in the show,
• 10:11
  and he brought that comedic relief to some of the more serious moments on the show.
• 10:17
  There were serious moments on Boy Meets World. We saw this boy.
• 10:20
  We saw him meet world. I mean, he grew up from a little kid that long.
• 10:25
  You know, we, I don't, we don't have shows like that that are that long,
• 10:28
  where you see them from a little kid growing up to becoming an adult,
• 10:32
  going to college and like that, you know, the Simpsons, I mean,
• 10:35
  they're a, they're a different deal in themselves and they don't grow up.
• 10:39
  They, they stay at the same age. The story was always Topanga and Corey and
• 10:43
  Maitland, who came on the show, I would say later on,
• 10:46
  I wasn't really in tune with what was happening at that time period,
• 10:51
  like the later years, especially.
• 10:53
  Those aren't emblazoned on
• 10:56
  my memory as the younger ones. But I do remember her. I do remember her.
• 11:00
  And she came back to a show that I keep calling her Topanga, Danielle Fishel.
• 11:06
  I would never have thought that was her name, but I just knew her as Topanga.
• 11:10
  That she had a girl meets world in the mid 2000, like 2015 ish.
• 11:15
  And like a spinoff of it. And there was some heated, there was some bad blood
• 11:19
  between Danielle and Maitland coming to that show.
• 11:23
  And it is completely a matter of perspective because if you see Maitland's vantage
• 11:29
  point and you see Danielle's vantage point, they're completely different.
• 11:34
  That's why you can have an encounter with somebody and have a life with them.
• 11:38
  And they are seeing it through a different lens than you because Danielle,
• 11:43
  who was Topanga, she, she thought they had a great relationship.
• 11:48
  She thought when she was on the show that she was nice to her, everything was great.
• 11:51
  But Maitland just came at it and she said, you were, you completely just ignored me.
• 11:57
  You defriended me on Facebook, which I mean, who hasn't been there?
• 12:01
  Who hasn't been defriended on facebook you know but it's
• 12:04
  and and danielle was like i don't know how that happened
• 12:07
  i don't know how you got we're not friends on facebook anymore
• 12:09
  i i didn't do it you know but she's like she seriously
• 12:13
  doesn't understand what went down she did not see things through the same lens
• 12:17
  perspective that maitlin has it maitlin was also she went into the adult film
• 12:22
  industry so i don't know if that had anything to do with what was going on or
• 12:26
  just like she just was was on a way different path than Danielle.
• 12:31
  So this, this heated argument that came on, I had actually, I had been following
• 12:36
  this boy pod meets world, you know, podcast by, by these guys that are,
• 12:42
  it's everyone, but Corey, it's everyone, but Ben Savage, who's not there pretty much.
• 12:46
  And they're, they're running the show. You should check out their podcast.
• 12:50
  It's pretty, it's pretty good.
• 12:51
  I, um, I need to watch some more or listen to it. You know, I don't,
• 12:54
  I didn't really find them on YouTube. I looked for them on YouTube and I didn't see too much.
• 12:58
  I don't know if they're really not uploading stuff to YouTube because it like
• 13:01
  stuff, the latest stuff was from years ago, but their podcast is running strong.
• 13:06
  They might have exclusive deals with Apple or Google.
• 13:11
  IHeartRadio or something like that because I did not really see what they were
• 13:14
  putting out there on YouTube. It did not stand out to me.
• 13:16
  But this was very interesting to me and it is a matter of perspective.
• 13:21
  So maybe take a step back and think about how are other people seeing your relationship with them?
• 13:30
  The people that you encounter every day, how are they, can you put yourself in their shoes.
• 13:35
  You might think everything's great and wonderful, but they might want to kill
• 13:40
  you. They might be disgusted by you, you know?
• 13:43
  And I, something I recently learned is you want, everybody wants to be liked.
• 13:48
  You know, I like to be liked. I need to be liked. I have to be liked.
• 13:53
  And, but the best way to be liked is to like and love everybody.
• 13:59
  Like and love everybody. Like, I mean, crazy like and love them.
• 14:05
  Like overboard like people, the people that you encounter every day.
• 14:10
  I mean, you say you don't naturally like somebody like them more than ever,
• 14:15
  like them more than ever. And just like show them how much you like them.
• 14:18
  Be just like a crazy fanatic person, you know, just like, like, you know,
• 14:23
  restraining order type of like, you know, maybe not that far,
• 14:26
  but like them and that will
• 14:28
  make people like and love you so much
• 14:31
  more so that's just a food for thought something to think about and you should
• 14:36
  check out that boy meets world pod meets world podcast and we'll see where this
• 14:41
  saga this narrative the storyline goes with danielle and maitland you know there's
• 14:47
  a lot more to it you know you should go check it out and all right we'll leave it at that.
