Latest / Sincerely American / We’ve Created a Culture of Narcissists | Episode 21
Transcript
- 0:00Honestly the theme of this episode so far has been
- 0:02narcissism. The whole wedding culture.
- 0:04It's actually the same for baby culture too.
- 0:06It has become the most narcissistic pursuit possible.
- 0:10Like it is insane. The the balloons like with the
- 0:14fireworks and it's like. It's for social media content,
- 0:17like that's what it is. Hi sincerely sisters, and
- 0:29welcome back to Sincerely American.
- 0:31It has been a busy week you guys.
- 0:33I have been moving. I am exhausted.
- 0:36Anyone who's moved with a three-year old just knows you
- 0:39have to like get things unpacked very quickly.
- 0:42You have to get your house in order.
- 0:44And so I've just been non-stop unpacking.
- 0:46For those of you wondering, I am in the same like area.
- 0:49I have not like moved out of the DC area.
- 0:51I'm just moving 50 million times in my life and I'll go into it
- 0:54later for my propaganda. But anyway, so if I'm a little
- 0:58more tired, please give me a little grace over here.
- 1:00No, I love it. Jamie's Superwoman.
- 1:02Imagine moving cuz everybody knows that's like one of the
- 1:05most stressful things you can possibly do in life is move.
- 1:07And then on top of that, she's packing everything up and then
- 1:10she has a daughter to take care of.
- 1:11Like mostly like when I've moved, obviously I don't have
- 1:14children yet and I still consider it to be so hard.
- 1:17So props to you Jamie for for being able to do all.
- 1:20Of that I'm lucky my family's been so helpful like my mom, my
- 1:24sister-in-law shouted to Caroline so helpful to Drake and
- 1:27I so I'm very thankful for that and I only have one child but I
- 1:30was thinking about like if you're doing a move like a
- 1:32family of five and you don't have anyone helping you I'm like
- 1:36God bless you I think that is the most difficult thing in.
- 1:38Life. No, it is.
- 1:39Imagine all the clothes to put up the rearranging.
- 1:42It's yeah, it's hard. It's crazy.
- 1:46OK, Speaking of family one, we have some really funny things,
- 1:50but I feel like we need to do first a serious topic because I
- 1:53saw this and I feel like it was almost rage bait for this
- 1:56podcast. And so this is a serious one,
- 1:58but then we're going to get into all funnies.
- 2:00So girls just hang in. But I think I I honestly think
- 2:02it's very good to cover these topics as well.
- 2:05So New York magazine, I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen this.
- 2:08They published an article titled I Regret having Children, and
- 2:12it's about women who wish they had chosen differently.
- 2:15To be honest I did not read the article because no way am I
- 2:18paying to read that. It's behind a pay wall.
- 2:20But it went viral and a bunch of like clips got posted from it.
- 2:23And from what I understand it's the same old same old.
- 2:26They interviewed some woman and I've heard about this subreddit.
- 2:29There's a subreddit that exists of women who have children and
- 2:32they talk nonstop about how they regretted that decision.
- 2:36And I wanted to cut to this particular paragraph because I
- 2:40just like was honestly so disgusted by this.
- 2:43I just feel like it needs to be shared and we need to discuss
- 2:46this. So in the article it says when
- 2:49they were interviewing this woman.
- 2:50I am not the parent my son needs.
- 2:52I don't feel anything for him and I don't want to wait it out
- 2:56for years and walk out when he has actual memories.
- 2:59Right now he's very young and you can fake things but I can
- 3:02only fake it so much. So this woman is talking about
- 3:05leaving her son. This propaganda, it like
- 3:10actually there's been so many disgusting things published by
- 3:13these liberal magazines throughout the years.
- 3:15We could go on and on. This is the the most disgusting
- 3:18thing. I think this is more disgusting
- 3:19than the abortion propaganda. Like this is a real child
- 3:23existing today where a mom is writing and discussing leaving
- 3:27her own child behind. I, I just, I don't like
- 3:31honestly, we might, we might have, should have put this in
- 3:33the eye of no words because it's truly hard to have words for how
- 3:35discussing this is. Yeah.
- 3:37You know, what's so interesting though, is like, I, I do believe
- 3:40that this woman feels this way, but more often than not, like, I
- 3:44don't really hear a ton of women saying this.
- 3:46Like normally you'll hear women who are like putting their baby
- 3:49up for adoption, like experience the birthing process and then
- 3:52like really connect with with their baby and decide to keep
- 3:55their child or like, you know, nothing's better than becoming a
- 3:59mother. Like it's just a new exciting
- 4:00journey. I hear this more often than not.
- 4:03Even women who weren't particularly ready to have
- 4:06children or didn't think that they were ready tend to lean
- 4:09into motherhood once they become moms.
- 4:11And so this this is like a weird propaganda thing that they're
- 4:14propping up. And it's it's a sentiment that's
- 4:16probably, you know, not very common, but it's just of course
- 4:21going to validate this like feminist girl boss culture of
- 4:24put yourself first. It's OK to be a narcissist.
- 4:27Like, you can completely hurt everybody else in your life,
- 4:31including yourself, and we're just going to uplift yourself,
- 4:34sabotaging behavior because I'm a girl's girl and I'm gonna
- 4:37support you no matter everything, no matter what you
- 4:40do in this life. And so it's just, it's
- 4:43discussing it. I think also, though, Jamie,
- 4:47women who do this are particularly evil to me though,
- 4:51because you're making these public statements that your kid
- 4:55could potentially read one day. And imagine the mental damage
- 4:59that that does to that particular child who had to read
- 5:02that their mother didn't want them.
- 5:04The one sole protector and nurturer that you have that
- 5:08brought you into this life is making public statements that
- 5:11they don't want you. You don't deserve to have
- 5:13children because do you know how many millions and millions of
- 5:16couples now can't conceive in this country and all across the
- 5:20world and you have the audacity to go to some sleazy tabloid or
- 5:25some stupid ass magazine to talk about how you regret having
- 5:29children? I don't know.
- 5:30I just think that not only is this selfish behavior, it's just
- 5:33truly evil that this woman has created a life and then decides
- 5:38that she wants to abandon it and not only abandoned her son in
- 5:41silence, but also go and talk a bit about it, the whole
- 5:44situation. And these are the same people,
- 5:47Cameron, that you know, all day are going to therapy talking
- 5:51about their trauma that they've been through.
- 5:53Like we all know that group of women who nonstop is the victim
- 5:56of everything. They're all into that therapy
- 5:58culture. Meanwhile, they're literally
- 6:01putting out propaganda that their kids could read one day.
- 6:05And you know, I want to say this as well.
- 6:07I think the selfish culture that you touched on is the most
- 6:10important piece about this because yes, being a mother, as
- 6:14someone who is a mom, I know it is the most selfless thing you
- 6:17can do. You have to live for someone
- 6:19else and it comes with a lot of challenges and obstacles.
- 6:22I'm always the first to say that, but it is the most
- 6:26rewarding thing you can possibly do.
- 6:29But of course, these selfish people are so miserable because
- 6:32they can't live for anyone but themselves.
- 6:34And I love what she said in that where she's like, oh, do I have
- 6:37to fake it? Yes, like you do.
- 6:39I guess you do if you can't feel that deeply within you, if
- 6:42you're honestly, I think that's sociopathic behavior.
- 6:44And if you can't feel that, then be an adult, have responsibility
- 6:48and live for someone other than yourself for one time in your
- 6:51life and fake it for your son. Be a good mom for your son.
- 6:55Fake it till you make it. Do you know how many parents,
- 6:57like, I think like some of these people just think like, oh,
- 6:59parenting just comes so easily and naturally to everyone.
- 7:02No, it does not at all. There's plenty of challenges.
- 7:04People have different challenges with sleep schedules.
- 7:07You know, I have a toddler that has tantrums.
- 7:09Like these are normal things that you go through that you
- 7:12have to, you know, sometimes you got to fake it and get through
- 7:15different things. But what's so crazy to me is
- 7:18like, even though, you know, we've, I've gone through the
- 7:20terrible twos I've gone through, you know, different things of
- 7:22being a mom, you almost forget about those like bad little
- 7:25parts where you have to get through those challenges because
- 7:28I like you see your daughter and all like achieving all these
- 7:32things and doing like the cutest things possible.
- 7:34And all of that feeling goes away where you're like, wow,
- 7:36maybe that was challenging, but it's so rewarding at the end of
- 7:39the day because there's just love for your child that you
- 7:42can't have for anything else in this world.
- 7:44Not for a dog, not for your cat, not for any of your pets.
- 7:48Honestly, like your love for your spouse is even different
- 7:50than your love for your child. But the selfless, sorry, the
- 7:54selfish behavior is exactly what leads to this mentality and this
- 7:59negative outlook. I am a huge believer.
- 8:02I think we've done this for propaganda that we're not
- 8:04falling for that mindset is every single thing.
- 8:08And so if you go into it with this mindset, like these women
- 8:11who write on these Reddit pages about how much they regret
- 8:14having their children, if you have that mindset, then yes,
- 8:17you're going to have a very negative experience being a mom.
- 8:20But instead, if you choose, like you said, Cameron, to be like, I
- 8:23have been gifted with a child. How amazing is that?
- 8:26There's women who who have not had that opportunity, whether
- 8:28they haven't met the right person or they're dealing with
- 8:30fertility struggles. And God has blessed me with this
- 8:33beautiful child and it's my job. This is truly what women were
- 8:37made for, for our bodies were made for for raising our
- 8:41children. And it's just, it's like such a
- 8:43beautiful opportunity. And like I I said, it comes with
- 8:45its challenges, but taking advantage of that and having a
- 8:48positive mindset is that's what's going to make you the
- 8:51best. That's and no one's going to be
- 8:52a perfect. That's a good point because you
- 8:54just said it a positive mindset. These women are looking at life
- 8:57glass half empty of like, oh, this is taking something away
- 9:01from me. Now I have to live for something
- 9:03else. I don't have this freedom.
- 9:05You actually have more freedom when you're actually growing up.
- 9:08You become an adult and you grow into yourself.
- 9:11You have more life experience under your belt and you can you
- 9:14can look at it from the glass half full and be like, wow, I
- 9:17actually have a legacy to continue.
- 9:18I can instill my values in this child.
- 9:21I can reward them and provide them with the greatest
- 9:24experiences and wisdom that life has to offer.
- 9:27And God chose me as this child's mom.
- 9:31Like you could look at it from that, but it's just this.
- 9:33We've rewarded this narcissistic mentality where these people are
- 9:37so hypersensitive to criticism. That's why you said with the
- 9:40therapy culture, they're going to go in there, They're going to
- 9:42play victim mentality of, Oh, poor me, I don't want my kid
- 9:45anymore. It was because I was raised like
- 9:47this and I'm not ready for this. And it's like we've rewarded
- 9:50this selfish behavior of like people can't inconvenience
- 9:53themselves for their friends anymore.
- 9:54We have to set all these boundaries, but they're toxic
- 9:57boundaries and the list goes on. And so that's the only thing
- 10:01I'll say about that. I think it's a mindset problem
- 10:04and it's obviously a deep character flaw like of the way
- 10:08that she went about it, publicizing these sentiments.
- 10:10But on top of that, it's just we've rewarded this very selfish
- 10:14thing where they've replace God with themselves, and so they're
- 10:17at the center of their own life. And so therefore they think that
- 10:20the orbit in the entire world revolves around them.
- 10:24And the last thing I'll say about this too, was in this
- 10:26article, they presented like, oh, are you going to choose to
- 10:30have money, lazy Saturdays, free time, or are you going to choose
- 10:34then to have children? I just kind of also feel like
- 10:36that's like a false decision. Like you, just because you have
- 10:39a child doesn't mean you can't enjoy life.
- 10:41Like actually, it makes so many of more of the experiences even
- 10:45richer, like even greater. I can't say that enough.
- 10:48And yes, like I said, maybe you are not going to sleep as well
- 10:51and you're going to have to deal with some tantrums.
- 10:52And obviously, as kids get older, I haven't experienced yet
- 10:55it, it comes with like the school, the, the soccer
- 10:58practices and you know, that crazy lifestyle, but you still
- 11:02can have so much fun. You can go out to brunch with
- 11:04your friends. You can get a babysitter and go
- 11:06out on dates with your husband. It's all about mindset and
- 11:09making it work with your life. And I, I just absolutely hate
- 11:13this. Like your life ends when you
- 11:14have kids. It's because I like I always
- 11:16talk about like my life began when I had Vivian like I and I
- 11:21just signed it so gross that like this liberal media, of
- 11:23course, like you said at the beginning, I think that's very
- 11:25important. I think this is a very small
- 11:27minority amount of women who feel this way because most women
- 11:30feel similar to me that maybe they're scared when they find
- 11:33out that they're pregnant, but it becomes the best thing in
- 11:35their life. But of course, I think it just
- 11:37says everything about the media that that's the stories they
- 11:39choose to highlight the most negative narcissistic people.
- 11:43And by the way, I bet if they didn't have kids, they would
- 11:45just be like negative miserable people regardless.
- 11:47So like, I think that's everything you need to know.
- 11:50Like it whether they have kids or not, they're just negative
- 11:52terrible people. Anyway that like I said, rage
- 11:56bait for this podcast, totally changing course to tik toker.
- 12:03Eli Rallo. I see her post a lot.
- 12:05She's like a very hardcore feminist, but she's very popular
- 12:09on TikTok and I've seen this trend as well.
- 12:11Not just from her, I've seen this from a lot of people where
- 12:14people are now listing their rules for their wedding and
- 12:18we'll roll the clip. The last time I posted rules for
- 12:20my wedding it was approximately one week after we had gotten
- 12:23engaged and we hadn't planned anything yet and that was two
- 12:25years ago. So this is the official rules
- 12:26for my wedding. We are four months out.
- 12:28Four months in like 2 weeks. Also I'm glad this didn't post
- 12:30yesterday because nothing was uploading because I made I
- 12:32posted it on Instagram but I've since made some changes.
- 12:34OK, let's get into it. OK, Cameron, have you ever
- 12:37gotten sent a list of rules when you're going to someone's
- 12:40wedding? Oh my gosh, I mean, what a
- 12:43treat. Like she sounds like such a
- 12:45delight to be, to be around. Honestly, no, you know what?
- 12:49I'm glad that humans have free will because if I was invited to
- 12:53this wedding, I would just simply not go.
- 12:56Like I'm, I'm being completely honest.
- 12:59I wouldn't show up like, who do these people think that they
- 13:03are, Jamie? Like you, they.
- 13:05Think they're they think that. They know, they literally think
- 13:07they're Princess Diana where it's like you have royalty laws
- 13:12to abide by and like customs like who the F are you?
- 13:16Like actually like where is this girl from?
- 13:18Like who knows? Who knows?
- 13:20That's like me being from Kentucky and I'm like, OK, but
- 13:23I'm like from Kentucky and I'm like.
- 13:25Here's a list of demands that I'm going to make you do at my
- 13:29wedding. And it's like she's from bum F
- 13:31Kentucky. What are you doing?
- 13:32Like that's what I think about this girl.
- 13:34I'm like, who are you to be doing this to your guest?
- 13:37One, they can't kiss each other on the dance floor.
- 13:40What the actual F are you talking about?
- 13:42You have to put your phone in a bin.
- 13:45They can't take photos of your wedding dress and then they have
- 13:47to you have to personally approve their posts.
- 13:49It's like shut the F up. I'm not going then whatever
- 13:53happened to just like rushing to get married?
- 13:55You love that person so much. It's only about you.
- 13:57You too. You have everybody there to
- 13:59experience it. It's like you're taking the fun
- 14:01out of it. You're just absolutely such a
- 14:03bored generic person. So I don't know why the hell you
- 14:07think that you can have all these rules.
- 14:08And honestly, here's the thing too, though, like she's a
- 14:11person. It's her day, she's paying for
- 14:13it. I guess it's it's her decision
- 14:15to make the rules, right? Like, I understand that side of
- 14:17the coin, but then understand if people don't want to go or they
- 14:20think that you have a stick shoved so far up your bum that
- 14:23they just don't want to be around you because like.
- 14:27I like that you said because you're like being a Nazi.
- 14:30Like about about what they can and can't do at your wedding.
- 14:32Like they have to walk on egg shells to please you.
- 14:35Bridezilla. I would never want to be around
- 14:37that. And she goes no shots.
- 14:39People can't effing take shots at your wedding.
- 14:42No ABS, Jamie. No, this, this girl and me, we
- 14:46would never be friends. This would never happen.
- 14:48I would never even if I was an acquaintance.
- 14:51Not going. I'm just not going to that
- 14:53wedding. I'm not spending time on that.
- 14:56Quickly I like that you said that.
- 14:58Shove a stick up your bum instead of butt cuz we say that
- 15:01for Vivi we always say. Bum.
- 15:03I'm trying to not cuss. I've taught.
- 15:06I've taught probably 20 times in this episode already from these
- 15:09topics cuz the audacity just blows my mind with these people.
- 15:15But I made it a New Year's resolution not to cuss.
- 15:17And Vivi, if you're watching, it's Bum, Yeah, I wanna watch
- 15:21Mommy and Cam Cam. Or what did she say?
- 15:23She's like, Mommy, I wanna watch you and Cam.
- 15:25Cam. Yeah, that is a true story.
- 15:27She loves watching cuz she loves Cameron, so she thinks the
- 15:29podcast is really cute. I don't really like ever.
- 15:31I'll just show her like a very small.
- 15:33Clip tell them that she didn't love me.
- 15:34Today though, I tried to FaceTime her and I tried to get
- 15:38her attention. She was like stonewalling me,
- 15:41acted like I didn't even exist on this planet.
- 15:44I'm like OK Queen like go off like I love it be hard again.
- 15:47Keep them coming, keep them wanting more.
- 15:49Like I love her. She's such a diva.
- 15:51But anyway, sorry, I didn't mean to like completely go off.
- 15:55I was on the broadest side. Honestly, the theme of this
- 15:59episode so far has been narcissism.
- 16:01It's like the the whole wedding culture.
- 16:04It's actually the same for baby culture too.
- 16:06It has become the most narcissistic pursuit possible.
- 16:10Like it is insane. And it's become all about
- 16:13getting content. Like I swear that's like now the
- 16:16whole point of a wedding, the whole point of the baby shower,
- 16:19the gender review. We went over this the last
- 16:21episode, how now there's like, like people will have, you know,
- 16:24the engagement shower, the proposal, everyone needs to be
- 16:28there for The Bachelorette destination.
- 16:30Then they'll have the then they'll have this wedding where
- 16:33then they have 50 rules. And it's it kind of reminds me
- 16:36of the people during COVID that were like the Karen's quote, UN
- 16:39quote that get you must pull your mask.
- 16:41You know what those people like? I swear it's like a power trip
- 16:43that they're getting. And it's like, yes, the you are
- 16:47the most important person on your wedding day.
- 16:49It's about the bride. But people have taken this to a
- 16:51level that is like just uncanning.
- 16:54Like it's, it's like frankly, like discussing.
- 16:56And you're right. Like I'm like, I don't want
- 16:58like, I don't want pardon in that.
- 16:59Like I just. Jamie sent me this and tell the
- 17:03sincerely sisters she sent me this text and all caps.
- 17:06She's like Cameron, you would hate her like.
- 17:08And then I watched. I was to say I don't like this
- 17:13bit. I'm like.
- 17:17I'm like, no, you were like 20 seconds of my life.
- 17:20Seriously. I was like I just wasted 20
- 17:22seconds of my life watching this video about like also.
- 17:26Is she sending this list to her guests?
- 17:28Like imagine being too like, is this like the wedding
- 17:30invitation? You open up and there's like.
- 17:32Imagine the groomsmen's chat without the groom at the moment
- 17:36watching that video being like, are we sure that we want to tell
- 17:40him? If I open that up, I just toss
- 17:44it in the trunk. I've also seen this similar
- 17:46culture when people have a baby where they're like, only this
- 17:49person's allowed to visit. Only at this time, only I'm not
- 17:53allowing this person into the room.
- 17:55I'm like, can you just have your baby and like celebrate with
- 17:58your family? Like it's really like not that
- 18:00deep. Like, I mean it like it should
- 18:02be about the baby. It should be about the wedding.
- 18:04Like just this is out of control.
- 18:07And by the way, the same people who would make this list are the
- 18:10same people that are like, come to my destination wedding and
- 18:12spend like $7000 to be at my wedding.
- 18:15And then I'm also going to micromanage you the entire time.
- 18:17And also you're not allowed to bring your kids, but you're not
- 18:19allowed to have your cell phone. So like if there's something
- 18:21going on like with your child, you can't even like figure that
- 18:23out. And like, I'm all for like
- 18:25getting off of your phone. Like I agree it's probably like
- 18:27tacky to be on your phone the whole time.
- 18:29But like, I think it's just like, that's just common
- 18:32knowledge and like being polite at a wedding.
- 18:34And I don't think you need to like micromanage every second of
- 18:37your own wedding. And it's like, set your dress
- 18:40code and like have people have a good time.
- 18:42Like, and let me tell you, the best weddings I've ever been to
- 18:46are the ones where they take themselves the least seriously.
- 18:49Anyone who? Takes themselves.
- 18:51So seriously at the wedding, it's like not fun.
- 18:54The best weddings are when it's like like just being honest.
- 18:57Maybe people have had too much to drink.
- 18:58They're staying out on the dance floor till like 4:00 AM and it's
- 19:01like like I love like a Bryce and her friend's wedding.
- 19:04Like she like went so late into the night and like just let
- 19:06everybody have fun and sat people at like the fun tables.
- 19:09Like, I don't know, I just think it's like the best way to be.
- 19:12Those are like the best weddings in my I.
- 19:13Completely agree, I also remember going to a wedding of
- 19:17my roommate from college. Her and her high school
- 19:21sweetheart got married and same same vibe.
- 19:23Like they, they went out, they hung lights in this like
- 19:27beautiful area, a bunch of acres of land.
- 19:30There was like a really pretty barn danced all night.
- 19:34There was not this many rules like getting the makeup done.
- 19:37It was so nonchalant. People like taking behind the
- 19:40scenes photos and it, it's just, it was so beautiful because they
- 19:44had been together for so long. And so you really just felt the
- 19:47love in the room. Like I feel like with a wedding
- 19:49like this, that takes away from the couple because there's so
- 19:53many rules. You're being micromanaged all
- 19:55the time. And I, I just think that they've
- 19:58gotten away from the true meaning of like what a wedding?
- 20:03Should be it should be about the couple.
- 20:05You should have family and friends there to witness it, to
- 20:08support you and love you through that.
- 20:09Not it's not like some grandiose like this huge event where
- 20:15you're like the center. That's another thing too, not to
- 20:18like completely ramble, but also you mentioned having babies,
- 20:21like the gender reveals. Gender reveals are becoming like
- 20:24that. I think with like the the
- 20:26balloons like with the fireworks and it's like.
- 20:29It's for social media content, like that's what it is.
- 20:32It's yeah, and it's all about yes, and it's all about the
- 20:35couple. It's like not even about the
- 20:37child. It's about the couple at that
- 20:39party being the center of attention.
- 20:41Yeah, I think people are moving in that direction now because a
- 20:44lot of people are just so sick of this.
- 20:46Like, I think people have wedding fatigue.
- 20:48I know, especially when. You wedding.
- 20:49Industrial Complex. The wedding industrial complex
- 20:54is a real thing. Like it's like churn out
- 20:57hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- 20:59The photographer, The venue, The caterers, the venue.
- 21:05The fireworks at the end of the night the there were.
- 21:08Some lobbyists in there like working out this wedding
- 21:12industrial complex. It's big.
- 21:14The planner. The planner is normally more
- 21:16expensive than booking the actual venue these days if you
- 21:19get a good wedding. If you want to make a dollar,
- 21:21get into. Weddings.
- 21:23Yep. That is my biggest
- 21:24recommendation. OK, now this video, I, I, I
- 21:29can't run. I don't think you think this
- 21:30video is as funny as I do. Like I literally like, I don't
- 21:33know why. I just like Burns.
- 21:34Which one to? Tears So basically you guys know
- 21:39like there's like this self diagnosis trend where people are
- 21:42like I have autism, I have ADHD like everyone has something now
- 21:47and they've like a lot of them like haven't even gone to a
- 21:49doctor. And that being said, let's be
- 21:51honest, like with our, with our healthcare system in this day
- 21:55and age, like like a lot of people are just getting
- 21:57diagnosis for the sake of to like push some pills.
- 21:59Like I, I mean that like it's like everyone has depression,
- 22:03anxiety, ADHD and like. Jamie, Jamie finds this funny.
- 22:07But the truth is, is that like, this is funny to me in a
- 22:11different way because I'm such a hypochondriac.
- 22:14Like I Google my symptoms and think that I'm suffering from
- 22:17some terminal. Illness.
- 22:17No, I do, as I actually am a bit of a hypochondriac.
- 22:20Like everyday I think something's wrong with me.
- 22:22I'm like, oh, I had a heart palpitation.
- 22:24What does that mean? Like, oh, I'm having a heart
- 22:27attack. Remember when you like got
- 22:31anxious and went to the hospital?
- 22:34No, they really. Got anxious and I thought she
- 22:36was having a panic attack. I've actually done that before
- 22:39too and like thought she was having a heart attack and like
- 22:41OK. So I will tell them real quick
- 22:43like 2 minutes story. I was having these, like, really
- 22:46bad heart palpitations before bed one night and like to the
- 22:49point where I couldn't breathe. And then I was like psyching
- 22:51myself out to the point where I took myself to the ER.
- 22:55They were like, sweetie, you have an anxiety attack or no,
- 23:01prescribe me. Prescribe me anxiety medication.
- 23:06OK. The anxiety medication was
- 23:08nothing but like, Benadryl on crack.
- 23:10Like all it did was put me to bed.
- 23:12All it did was knock me out. And they were like, honey, how's
- 23:14things going at home? And I was like, oh great, how
- 23:18are things going 2. $100 How are things going at work not?
- 23:22Pressing at all? I'm actually like a Gin Z like
- 23:24social media content creator. Like, I'm not out here like
- 23:27going through basic training. I'm positive it was because he
- 23:29went on a flight with turbulence and it like stressed you out.
- 23:34So like weak minded we are like literally like a few bumps on a
- 23:38flight and. Like 1 bump on a war?
- 23:40No, if I have one bump on a flight, bet your ass I'm texting
- 23:44you and I'm like Jamie. Terms like to fly into like like
- 23:48used to like fly into war zones and drop bombs, be shot at and
- 23:52now like choppers and no, I have two bumps and people were
- 23:56getting were like they were literally.
- 23:57Coming out of choppers in Vietnam and they were able.
- 24:01To survive. That anyway, go ahead.
- 24:03We are getting. OK, well it's funny so I don't
- 24:06care. Sincerely, sisters.
- 24:07Long story short. This falls into I agree this
- 24:11falls into that like group. This just takes it to a new
- 24:14level. You guys this game across my
- 24:16feed will roll the club. So for our listening audience,
- 24:20it says yes, ADHD and neurodivergence is a disability
- 24:25and you can pre born if needed. And this woman, I'm sorry, she's
- 24:30throwing her bag onto the seat. But the best part is I went to
- 24:35the comment section and I guess I'm just like, please tell me
- 24:39like sometimes you see these like ridiculously absurd videos
- 24:42and you go to the comment section like, yes, Queen.
- 24:44And everyone was like, actually this is really problematic.
- 24:47And she said, what is neurodivergence?
- 24:54Like anyone? Is it like, how do you even
- 24:56categorize that? I don't know.
- 25:00By the way, let me look like someone who's like actually in a
- 25:03wheelchair that has a quote, UN quote disability and who
- 25:07actually has a disability and they're on the wheelchair and
- 25:10they're going in and this woman just has.
- 25:12Neurodivergent describes people's whose brains function,
- 25:15learn, and process information differently from the societal or
- 25:18typical standard. So basically it's like ADHD,
- 25:20dyslexia to rats or autism is what they're talking about.
- 25:24And doesn't she have ADHD? So that's what she's saying she
- 25:27got on the flight first priority boarding for ADHD, right?
- 25:31Like priority boarding for a disability is for people in
- 25:34wheelchairs intimately in a wheelchair?
- 25:36Oh anybody? Does it need more help?
- 25:38Active duty military pregnant women like seniors who have
- 25:44trouble. Walking, You have young kids.
- 25:45Need help with their baggage? Their luggage?
- 25:47Yes. Have you have strollers?
- 25:49ADHD genie? What?
- 25:55What? I just like, you know, these the
- 26:00gate agent who's hearing this, like, what's your disability?
- 26:03Or she probably can't even ask. But even if she told her she
- 26:06goes, I can't say anything. I'm gonna be sued tomorrow if I
- 26:09say actually no, you're not getting on.
- 26:11Cuz people are such, they're so soft, like anything.
- 26:15This reminds me of the people who like rent the scooters that
- 26:18are meant for like old people or like I said, if you actually
- 26:20have a disability and can't walk, but they're just like so
- 26:23obese at Disneyland that they rent the scooters and like take
- 26:26up room. And then I love like the woke
- 26:28people like get in fights about it because they're like, well,
- 26:31we're like the level of like wokeness, if you're like taking
- 26:34away the privilege of the people who are actually disabled versus
- 26:37if fatness is actually like a, where it ranks on the hierarchy
- 26:42of oppression or whatever. And so I just like, I love, like
- 26:44the war that happens it, it's given the same energy to me.
- 26:48Yeah, it's like the yeah, it's like the woke ISM Olympics where
- 26:51it's like or like the I don't even know.
- 26:53I wanted to call it a disability Olympics because it do you
- 26:56remember like you could only get a job if you filled out if
- 26:59you're like Indo Pacific or black with severe autism.
- 27:03It's like, oh, you're hired. And it's like, it's, that's how
- 27:06far we've gone in a society where we've just got.
- 27:09By the way. OK, go ahead.
- 27:10If you have ADHD, wouldn't you want to like get on the plane
- 27:13last? Cuz like, if you're like hyper,
- 27:16you know what I. Mean Oh yeah, you're like
- 27:18sitting there, like stomping your feet or like you have like
- 27:21some tick or you're like ultra like looking around at your
- 27:24surroundings 24/7 like getting bored or antsy.
- 27:28Yeah. I don't know why she would get
- 27:29on the plane. First, no, but let's be honest,
- 27:31the this goes to show you how like terrible our whole like
- 27:35flight system is these days. It's just like literally a mess.
- 27:38Everyone is competing for the carry on baggage space.
- 27:42People are. Making actually.
- 27:43Fake disabilities in order to get on 1st and put their little
- 27:47carry in a carry on bag up in the slot.
- 27:49Because I swear every single flight I'm on there is like a
- 27:52full on fight that happens when the speaker comes up.
- 27:55Hi, we're full, we're full. You now have to check your bag,
- 27:58which is why I don't do carry on.
- 27:59That's like propaganda. I'm not.
- 28:01Falling for Yeah, I think All in all, Secretary Sean Duffy said
- 28:05it best. Like, you know, act
- 28:07appropriately, dress appropriately with standards and
- 28:10some class. Like, I think we've just gone so
- 28:13far downhill as a society. And also like men don't help
- 28:16women with their bags, like their overhead bags anymore.
- 28:19They don't dress. Yeah, they don't dress for the
- 28:22occasion. Like if you look at older photos
- 28:24when like first class tickets were just becoming a thing, like
- 28:28the not the tuxes, but like the suits that men would wear with
- 28:33their hair, like freshly cut and all styled women had on like the
- 28:37most beautiful dresses or like suit sets.
- 28:40I don't know. It's just such a vibe.
- 28:41Can we get back to that? Like I don't want to see you in
- 28:43your sweatpants. I don't want ADHP or your ADH.
- 28:46Bob Pajama, bottom people. Going on before pregnant women
- 28:49or women with strollers that are like having screaming kids, like
- 28:53trying to regulate their own emotions, like trying not to cry
- 28:57with anxiety. Getting on this flight with a
- 28:59bunch of kids, like can we get, can we give it back to those and
- 29:02like cater to that part of society?
- 29:04Why are we catering towards your, your neurodivergence?
- 29:07Like that makes no sense to me. Your neurodivergence.
- 29:11We're all neurodivergent, like we all think that imagine.
- 29:15Being like I can't read a book and I I flip words backwards.
- 29:19I'm dyslexic. I need to board the.
- 29:21Neurodivergent is the equivalent in the mental health community.
- 29:25It's the equivalent to queer in the LGBTQ community.
- 29:28It's for people that don't necessarily even fall into
- 29:30anything, but they need like some title to be a part of this
- 29:33community. Speaking of the LGBTQ community,
- 29:37you see the transition I did there?
- 29:39I have no words. OK, so this came across my desk
- 29:46AKA my TikTok feed. So popular YouTube.
- 29:50I'm sure a lot of girls are going to know who she is.
- 29:52I actually mentioned her in the last episode, Aspen Ovard and I
- 29:55used to watch this girl all the time like I she's someone that I
- 29:58like. I remember that whole YouTube
- 30:00era back in like 2016. This girl was like a travel
- 30:04YouTube. She like made her wedding a big
- 30:07part of her content and then she had children and that was a big
- 30:09part of her content. She kind of became one of these
- 30:11like mommy vloggers. Well, she's gone in a completely
- 30:14a different direction. So recently in a TikTok she
- 30:17explained her divorce. She got a divorce like over a
- 30:20year ago and that came out with shocking to the community.
- 30:24And now did people follow her husband?
- 30:27Yeah. OK.
- 30:28So did they have like a couples account or something?
- 30:31Yeah, they had a they had a joint couples account and then
- 30:35they got a divorce. And that was like, I remember
- 30:37when that came out, actually I was like in shock by it.
- 30:39Like I was like, what? Because they kind of gave like
- 30:41conservative vibes, you know, just like they're from Utah.
- 30:45So they come from like, you know, I don't think she's
- 30:47actually Mormon, but the kind of like within the Utah culture,
- 30:50you know, people are very conservative, have a lot of
- 30:52kids, get married young. So it was kind of shocking when
- 30:55they had a divorce because they did so many things together and
- 30:57it was such a big part of their content, their marriage.
- 31:00And now we're a year and a bit down the line, maybe 2 years
- 31:03actually after the divorce. And she's now explaining that
- 31:07she's in a polyamorous relationship with a married
- 31:11couple, but she doesn't like to put labels on it.
- 31:14Let's roll the clip. I actually do apply this to my
- 31:16relationship. It's kind of long, but it's like
- 31:18basically about not labeling like my sexuality or my
- 31:21relationship or whatever because there are so many people that
- 31:23are like, oh, you're in like this type of relationship or
- 31:25like this or this. Like those things by definition
- 31:28are like not not true. But also people in a monogamous
- 31:32relationship don't go around being like, Oh yeah, I'm like in
- 31:34a hetero monogamous relationship.
- 31:35Like you guys know, I just, I'm like, I don't need to put
- 31:38certain words on certain things. Like I'm just happy with my
- 31:40people. I'm loved.
- 31:41Everybody feels good and like, that's all it is to me.
- 31:44Yeah, I have referred to as my girlfriend, obviously, if I was
- 31:48referencing her online for the past year or so.
- 31:51And it's not that that word like doesn't fit, but I definitely
- 31:53think of them as like partners. Labels are just like such an
- 31:56Internet thing, like it can help people understand themselves.
- 31:59Like some people need it. For me, I just feel like any
- 32:01type of label like that for like sexuality, relationship,
- 32:04whatever, it's just like putting yourself in a box and I just
- 32:06don't feel the need to do that. It's just so easy to feel like
- 32:08pressure when you not for like me, I don't really feel pressure
- 32:11from like the Internet, but I feel like when people are online
- 32:13and they see everyone putting themselves in these boxes with
- 32:15these labels. And I'm just here to remind
- 32:17everyone that you do not have to do that.
- 32:19Just like who you like. And that is what it is, I think.
- 32:22OK, Cameron, for context, this woman has three children.
- 32:25I feel like, OK, so you mentioned that she's a mom from
- 32:29Utah. Like, you have a lot of moms
- 32:32from Utah and like, specifically in the Mormon community to like,
- 32:36kind of embracing this like sexual deviancy in a way where
- 32:41they're like openly admitting to like, these polyamorous
- 32:45relationships and like participating in threesomes and
- 32:48swinging. And honestly, when you first
- 32:51brought this to my attention, it makes me question like, is there
- 32:55some entity or some group that's trying to like defame and make
- 33:01the Mormon church look bad? You have so many people
- 33:04surrounding like the Mormon church and they're all like kind
- 33:07of degenerates in this way where they're like really like airing
- 33:12out their their like sexual dirty laundry.
- 33:15I've like never seen this before.
- 33:16Only in this like Utah community have I really seen this and it
- 33:20makes me think. I'm like, shoot that secret not
- 33:22to be. Yeah, it's like, not to be a
- 33:24conspiracy theorist, but also I'm like you just this is way
- 33:29too common where people are either like capitalizing off of
- 33:32this because it's like more socially acceptable and you're
- 33:34getting more clout from it because like, it's engaging.
- 33:37People are engaging with that content more.
- 33:39So maybe they're like following the same format or there's
- 33:42something much deeper going on and there is like some like
- 33:46targeted campaign utilizing all these people in this like Utah
- 33:49orbit associated with the Mormon church to make them look bad.
- 33:52I like, I swear by that. Cam, you need to get on the case
- 33:56and invest. I know I should I I wouldn't be
- 33:58surprised by that, honestly. Like I think a lot of times, you
- 34:01know that I think with there's a lot of media out there that's
- 34:04constantly trying to tear down different churches within
- 34:07Christianity. So honestly that wouldn't shock
- 34:09me. I think like going back to the
- 34:12actual topic on hand that we have here, so getting a divorce,
- 34:18whether it ends up being the right thing or not for your
- 34:21family is very traumatic for children.
- 34:23Like it is like anyone who's gotten divorced, even if they
- 34:25don't regret their divorce and it might have been the right
- 34:27decision for them and their marriage, it's very hard on
- 34:31kids. Like that is a tragic thing for
- 34:33kids. Every single statistic and data
- 34:36shows that kids do better when you have a man and a woman in
- 34:39the household. And that's whether you believe
- 34:40in science, whether you believe in God, whether you believe in
- 34:43both, like me, That is what is intended.
- 34:46That's why you need a man and a woman to have a child.
- 34:48And so all the data backs that up and that's not saying that if
- 34:52just because your parents are a lot of people grow up in
- 34:54divorced homes. It's very common almost I think
- 34:5650% of divorce, sorry, 50% of marriages and in divorce
- 34:59nowadays, but it is better to have two parents in the
- 35:02household when that can work, obviously.
- 35:04So this woman already, you know, put her kids through this
- 35:06traumatic experience of having a divorce with their dad and now
- 35:11only a year or so afterwards is bringing them into a polyamorous
- 35:18relationship. And I love how specifically in
- 35:20this video, she's like, we don't like to put labels on it.
- 35:23And I just feel like that's how, like, a lot of people nowadays,
- 35:27like, skirt responsibility for terrible decisions and they
- 35:30don't want to put labels on it. But actually for young children,
- 35:33it's very important that you label things because young
- 35:36children don't understand things.
- 35:38They don't. This is you are opening them up
- 35:40to the world. How they see the world is
- 35:42through you. And so I can't imagine how
- 35:44confusing this is for their children who, like I said, just
- 35:48went through this divorce and now are like, why do I have
- 35:51like, why is my mom dating a woman and then and then also a
- 35:54dad? And then those people have their
- 35:55own family and they have their own marriage.
- 35:57Not to mention that this married couple, I assume they have kids
- 35:59on the other side. What a complete disaster.
- 36:03And this goes back to the original topic that we brought
- 36:06in where it's just this selfish lifestyle.
- 36:09And she talks a lot about, you know, I've followed her for a
- 36:11while with these videos. She talked a lot about how
- 36:13miserable she was in her marriage.
- 36:14And now this is about exploring her sexuality and exploring
- 36:18things that she didn't get to explore because she got married
- 36:20so young. And it's like, no, as a mom like
- 36:23that time is sailed to quote UN quote explore.
- 36:26I don't think you ever need to explore these things to be clear
- 36:29and concise, especially as a Christian.
- 36:31This is why Christianity is very important because it offers
- 36:34moral guidance where you don't feel the necessity to go.
- 36:37And explore the sexual deviancy like you mentioned, but not that
- 36:42is not the time anymore. Like you are a mother.
- 36:45And so now that you are post divorce, the only thing in your
- 36:48head should be how do I make this situation as normal as
- 36:52possible for my children to safeguard my children's
- 36:55emotions. And this is doing the exact
- 36:57opposite. And she's being praised.
- 36:59Oh my gosh, you're so brave. You know, getting out there,
- 37:02trying things new, putting yourself first.
- 37:04I'm so sick of this culture where it's like you get praise
- 37:08for putting yourself 1st and hurting other people.
- 37:11And like I said, she talks non-stop about her trauma
- 37:14meanwhile she's traumatizing her own children but she can't even
- 37:17see that because she's only wrapped up in what matters to
- 37:19her and what matters in this moment to her and what makes her
- 37:22feel good. I could go off on a whole rant.
- 37:25I could cook. You know, I lived in Florida for
- 37:29three years. And so, you know, we'd see the
- 37:33pineapple flags or like the gnomes and the yard signaling
- 37:37like the swingers. You know, you used to have an
- 37:39era where like retirees would go on certain cruise ships and then
- 37:43they would do this business in private.
- 37:44Why are we airing this out on social media for like your kids
- 37:48to see your normal? It's coming from this like
- 37:51normalize everything culture where they think this is widely
- 37:55accepted and OK to bring children and involve this.
- 37:58And they don't want to hear about your private life like
- 38:00that. They're not going to fully
- 38:01understand, like you said, whatever happened to like I
- 38:05don't want to say guilt, whatever happened to just like
- 38:07keeping shame quiet and like that being that's.
- 38:10Because you're not a Christian society anymore.
- 38:12Yeah, exactly. Like bring back public shaming.
- 38:15I I said in a couple episodes ago, like we should bring back
- 38:19bullying. Like I was bullied when I was
- 38:21younger and it like built my character.
- 38:22I think that everybody just normalizes everything these
- 38:25days. And so therefore she does deem
- 38:28this to be socially acceptable in this day and age.
- 38:31And it shouldn't be. It's really detrimental to these
- 38:34kids. Like you said, they're gonna be
- 38:35questioning everything. They're gonna be asking
- 38:38themselves what's acceptable. And that person is the standard
- 38:42in their life that is like their superwoman in their life doing
- 38:45everything for them. So of course they're probably
- 38:47gonna put them on a pedestal and think that that's OK.
- 38:51I just wish people would do this in private.
- 38:53Like I I'm I'm not even saying you should do it at all.
- 38:55I actually. Agree with you.
- 38:56I'm not, I'm not even going to like I of course, like this is a
- 38:59Christian conservative podcast. We're going to advocate against
- 39:03that. Like especially like once you
- 39:06have children involved, like you were divorced, like it's not the
- 39:09time, like you said, to be dabbling in these different
- 39:12things and finding yourself this way.
- 39:14But like, if you're going to do it, do it in private.
- 39:17Like that's how people used to do things they used to do in
- 39:21private. They used to not tell anybody.
- 39:22It used to be on the down low. And honestly, that's that's just
- 39:26how it should be. But it's because these people
- 39:29almost have blinders. Like, they're so self-centered.
- 39:31Like, they don't even think of how their children will
- 39:34interpret this one day. They only think of themselves.
- 39:36Like, yeah, when mom went through her polyamorous era.
- 39:40Yeah, what? Imagine your mother went through
- 39:44all of that, like, did that and posted about online and like,
- 39:47you have to now I just like, I can't imagine me like, yeah,
- 39:51when my mom went through a polyamorous era and she had a
- 39:53girlfriend and a boyfriend and they came over for dinner, like.
- 39:57I know like normally you'll hear like I've heard things growing
- 40:00up where like a girl would have a bad boyfriend relationship,
- 40:03then she'd like dabble be a lesbian for like 2 years and
- 40:06she'd like would get married to a guy or something.
- 40:08Like I've always like heard stories like that.
- 40:11But it's like, OK, you've brought children, multiple
- 40:13children into this world. You need to lock the F in.
- 40:17Like be a parent, like there's no time for this anymore.
- 40:21And if you do have that time in your hands, baby girl, go and do
- 40:24that behind a closed door. Don't be telling the world that
- 40:27for your kids to hear one day. It's disrespectful.
- 40:29It's like so unnecessary. And it brings shame to your
- 40:32family, by the way it does. And this is another thing,
- 40:36whether you have kids, whether you're a mom, whether you're
- 40:38not, you don't just get to live for yourself and only put
- 40:41yourself first. Like it's just not an
- 40:44appropriate way to live. And like I said, this is this is
- 40:47the type of degeneracy that happens when we remove
- 40:50Christianity from public life. Because whether you were super
- 40:53Christian or kind of Christian or you're a church going, you're
- 40:57going to church every Sunday. Christianity gives a very clear
- 41:00moral framework that has worked very well for society,
- 41:02especially Western civilization, obviously for centuries.
- 41:06And this is what happens when you take that away.
- 41:08It's like the slippery slope where it's like, oh, we take out
- 41:12Christianity and we replace it to a science or whatever they
- 41:16claim to replace it with. The next thing you know, no one
- 41:17can tell what a man or a woman is.
- 41:19Someone's claiming that they're a dog and they're a furry or
- 41:22whatever, and then we have people having throttles.
- 41:25And they're blaring the lines. God knows what's going.
- 41:27On they're blurring the. Line it hasn't been great.
- 41:29No, that is my rant of the day. I have no words where we always
- 41:33have a lot of words, ladies and gentlemen.
- 41:37All right, moving on to Hot or Not?
- 41:46All right, Cam, hot or not home workouts.
- 41:48I'm going to go hot and I know that you may have a similar
- 41:52take, but I feel like when you grow up and you're on the go and
- 41:55like, especially if you work from home too, like it's just
- 41:58easier to lay down a yoga mat and do a home workout and buy
- 42:02some weights off of Amazon. Like I've gotten into this
- 42:05recently. I used to be a girl who would
- 42:07like always make it a thing to like go to solid core.
- 42:10I live in LA and there's tons of traffic and sometimes I don't
- 42:13want to drive somewhere and like I normally go on a walk.
- 42:16Like I know you do too. Like that's, you know, your
- 42:19primary, primary exercise choice.
- 42:21But like, I've been really getting into home workouts.
- 42:24Like get a resistance band. It's very easy to find online
- 42:27programs too, like a lot of the personal trainers here in Lai
- 42:30want to use but they're so booked out or it's like they're
- 42:33training like so many different celebrities or different like
- 42:37well known people. They have like a wait list and
- 42:39things like that. I just use their online programs
- 42:41and it's much better. So I'm going to go hot.
- 42:44I'm going to go not for the reason I I think I might have
- 42:47explained this on the podcast before, but I think because I
- 42:50was an athlete growing up, I just like feel like I, I used to
- 42:55be like super athletic and like worked out all the time.
- 42:57Was that practice? I almost feel like it like
- 42:59burned me out and now I'm like, I just don't have the discipline
- 43:02to like sit down and do those like leg lifts with your like
- 43:05butt up and I know it makes you look so good.
- 43:07Like all I just don't have the discipline in this day and age
- 43:09anymore. I don't know, like I need to get
- 43:11back to that. I need to get athletic again.
- 43:14I know my mom is like listening to this being like because my
- 43:16mom is a big worker outer like she is like the type that's
- 43:19waking up at 5:00 AM and going to Pilates and I'm just like,
- 43:23honestly, mom, your goals. I just I'm not on the same page
- 43:26as that and I think I just don't enjoy it.
- 43:28Like I'm being honest, I just don't enjoy.
- 43:30Like so many people that don't enjoy it though, like you just
- 43:33sometimes. You know, and it's like, yeah, I
- 43:36agree. That's like where the discipline
- 43:38comes in, where you, like, force yourself to do it.
- 43:40That being said, though, I do think of working out, it's best
- 43:43to find the best way to enjoy a workout because you're more
- 43:45likely to stick to it. And for me, I think that's
- 43:48walking. I really enjoy walking.
- 43:49And like, for a lot of people, they're like, that's not
- 43:51exercise, but trust a lot of calories when you're moving
- 43:54around town carrying Vivian everywhere because she's in this
- 43:58era where she doesn't want to go in a stroller and walk or
- 44:00whatever. I'm like from that.
- 44:04So anyway, I'm going to go not with that just because I don't
- 44:09have the disappoint. I wish I could say hot, but I'd
- 44:11be a liar and I will always be honest with you girls.
- 44:15Early bedtime. Normally I would say hot, but
- 44:20right now I'm just going to go. Not because I my mind has just
- 44:25been like racing about the universe at night for some
- 44:27reason. I go to bed.
- 44:29What's the Scott Disick quote where he's like?
- 44:32Chloe asks him something like, what time do you go to bed?
- 44:34Like, don't you like have to get up?
- 44:37He's like, and she's like, what are you thinking about?
- 44:39He's like anything that's ever been going wrong in my entire
- 44:42life. I'm like, that is, I do that to
- 44:45a different extent where I'm thinking about laws of the
- 44:47universe and philosophical understanding and God, and then
- 44:52I roll over and I'm like, how tall was Jesus?
- 44:57That is literally randomly. I'll be like, I must look up.
- 45:01I'm like, yeah. When?
- 45:02When were the pyramids, exactly? Am I looking this?
- 45:05No. Same and so.
- 45:06Once you pull out the phone, it's over.
- 45:08Over so I'm gonna go not. I cannot do.
- 45:11I used to be like an early night.
- 45:13Let me make my tea, have my night time.
- 45:15I've been like really off with that recently so I'm gonna go
- 45:17not. I'm gonna go hot because I'm
- 45:21aspiring to get to bed earlier. That is my goal right now, to
- 45:25get to bed earlier. But I don't know, like recently
- 45:27I'll be like, Oh my God, it's midnight, I need to go to bed.
- 45:30Yeah. Yeah, it's I have a very active
- 45:32mind too. It's really annoying.
- 45:34Or you'll like be laying in bed and like your mind's like, let
- 45:37me just like replay the most embarrassing moment of your life
- 45:39ever. And you're just like, thanks
- 45:42mine. Or let me like rage bait you
- 45:45right now with like the worst thing that's happened to you or
- 45:49like someone did you dirty. You're like thanks mine.
- 45:52Now I'm active. OK, outfit repeating.
- 45:57I'm going to go hot because I think that there's just like the
- 46:01standard. And I was like this when I was
- 46:03younger. And trust me, I'm still kind of
- 46:06like this, but I'm working towards not being like this
- 46:08where I need a new outfit for every occasion.
- 46:10I do think it's good to like, you know, refresh your closet
- 46:13every year. Like throw out the things that
- 46:15you're not wearing. Like don't hoard things, but I'm
- 46:18going to just go hot. Like I think it's fine to outfit
- 46:21repeat. There's just been this standard
- 46:22where you constantly need to be consuming things over and over
- 46:26and over again. And I think it's good to just
- 46:28like get good basics in your closet and re wear them.
- 46:32I agree, I think quality over quantity and so like really
- 46:36investing in great pieces rather than like online shopping a
- 46:39bunch of fast fashion and like never repeating an outfit.
- 46:42I feel like it's way more stylish to invest in good things
- 46:46and repeat, but also like the things that you repeat.
- 46:48Like you can be very strategic and like, for example, a pair of
- 46:51jeans or a coat or a top where it's like kind of understated
- 46:55chic. So like people won't notice if
- 46:57like, for example, if you buy like a bright pink dress that's
- 46:59kind of hard to wear to like multiple events because people
- 47:01will remember it. OK, the five second rule.
- 47:05I'm gonna go hot. I do this all the time when I'm
- 47:08cooking. I like drop things and I'm just
- 47:11like whatever, like I keep this house clean.
- 47:13I don't Care now if it's like concrete and I'm like at brunch,
- 47:17like on in like a little Bistro chair, like outside.
- 47:20No, I'm not eating that. But like in my own home, I'm not
- 47:23going to lie, I do that. I like drop a cheese that I'm
- 47:26eating it. My standard for Vivian is like
- 47:29up here for her to like consume something.
- 47:31The health, the non chemicals, the no GMO, the organic, no
- 47:36process can't have touched any dirt, nothing.
- 47:39The standard for myself is like. Down here sometimes, yeah.
- 47:43Like I'm like it's I think it's like only two days expired.
- 47:47It's fine. I swear my standard is like so
- 47:50low for myself, but I'm going hot with a 5 second rule.
- 47:53I believe in it. I wouldn't feed it to Vivian
- 47:55though because I feel like when they're young, their immune
- 47:57systems and I have to be a good mom.
- 47:58But for myself, I don't really care.
- 48:01It's like gross. It is what it is.
- 48:04OK, iced coffee. I'm going to go not.
- 48:06I've like watched all of these things about like how women need
- 48:11to be consuming warm foods and like warm broths.
- 48:14So Long story short, there's like this China maxing thing on
- 48:17TikTok. It's talking about broths,
- 48:19homeopathic stuff kind of plays in a Maha a little bit.
- 48:22But it's talking about like warming your womb, like
- 48:25fertility maxing, like women are designed to like, and I think
- 48:29humans in general are just designed to, like, eat more warm
- 48:32foods. And so I'm just gonna go knot.
- 48:35I don't think iced coffee is like the best thing to have on
- 48:38an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
- 48:40I think it's better just to have like a warm, cozy cup of coffee.
- 48:43So I'm just gonna go knot. Cameron, you're getting like
- 48:46philosophical on here. I was just gonna say it tastes
- 48:48like jet fuel. I just can't see the taste.
- 48:53No, I get it. I am someone that would eat like
- 48:55a slice of cake for breakfast but like no sugar.
- 48:58Jamie would always, when we were in the White House, Jamie would
- 49:01call me and be like, well, one, we would share an omelette every
- 49:04single morning from this cafe in the White House.
- 49:06But two, she would ask me like, what are you eating?
- 49:09Or are you going down there to get her omelette?
- 49:11She's like, all I've had is a chocolate Santa for breakfast.
- 49:15I'm like, where the hell are you getting chocolate Santa in like
- 49:19September? I don't know.
- 49:21But she would be stocked in her pantry.
- 49:25I'm like OK. I just love that I'll eat a
- 49:29chocolate Santa for breakfast, but literally draw the line at
- 49:32sugar on my coffee. Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope,
- 49:35Nope. So anyway, I can do like a
- 49:37normal hot latte with just like a little bit of milk in it.
- 49:42I like right see, I'm, I'm like ma hat in so many ways.
- 49:46But like also like I'll have a tendency where I'll eat a
- 49:49chocolate Santa for breakfast. But anyway, I'll do whole milk
- 49:52in my latte because I like whole milk, drink real milk.
- 49:55I don't like, believe in all these almond milk things, but I
- 49:58can do that with no sugar if it's in an iced coffee.
- 50:00I don't know why. It completely tastes like
- 50:02changes of flavor. Yeah, I don't like that.
- 50:04I'm not drinking that. It's like, literally disgusting.
- 50:07But also let's fertility Max with some warmth.
- 50:11OK? You guys getting into propaganda
- 50:12we're not falling for. OK Cameron, what propaganda are
- 50:18you not falling for? OK, propaganda, This is going to
- 50:21sound so basic, but let me explain like 2 minutes.
- 50:24The propaganda that I'm not falling for is women pumping
- 50:27their own gas. And yes, you could go the route
- 50:30of saying like, oh, this is a blue chore, like whatever.
- 50:32No, here, here's where I'm going to go with this.
- 50:34We need to bring back the workers who used to pump your
- 50:38gas for you and like a going to a gas station.
- 50:41As you know, Jamie, you've lived in DC.
- 50:43Like normally homeless people crowd around gas stations
- 50:46normally. Like that's where crime goes
- 50:47down, like robberies, all this sort of stuff, right?
- 50:51Like it's just, I just don't think that women should be
- 50:53getting out of their car. That's like one of the number
- 50:55one places women gets women get sex trafficked as well as gas
- 50:59stations. So like to make this a safer
- 51:02environment, we need to bring back the people who pump your
- 51:05gas for you. They wear a glove, less
- 51:07bacteria, you know, because a lot of people too.
- 51:10What they'll do is they'll put drugs or there will be like
- 51:12drugs underneath the handles. No, I swear, Jamie, this is
- 51:15real. Like I've seen so many stories
- 51:17about this. There'll be drugs on their
- 51:18handles and like you, that's like you're more susceptible to
- 51:23being like kidnapped, sex trafficked, things like that.
- 51:26And you just don't want to touch like the bacteria on the handle.
- 51:28If you had one person pumping your gas with a glove on, crime
- 51:33would decrease, productivity would rise.
- 51:35This would create jobs in the United States.
- 51:37I don't know why we don't do this like.
- 51:39That is a very good point. It would create jobs.
- 51:41I completely agree. It would create a safer
- 51:43environment. I know so many women that would
- 51:45pay more. I know some.
- 51:47New Jersey, you don't pump your own gas.
- 51:49Yeah, I know. I know some place, this is a gas
- 51:51station in Beverly Hills, actually near me, has people who
- 51:54will pump the gas for you. You pay a little extra.
- 51:57I think it's great. It creates a community.
- 51:59You get to see those same people every day.
- 52:01It creates like a a more stable and comfortable environment for
- 52:04everybody involved. Like I just think gas stations,
- 52:06they've gotten like, to just put it plainly, like so ghetto.
- 52:10And so I think if you had people standing out there, like kind of
- 52:13monitoring the situation, it would be a lot better.
- 52:17I completely agree. I I'm totally on board with
- 52:19that. OK, so propaganda that I'm not
- 52:22falling for is that we're living through wild times, historic
- 52:28times, unprecedented times, or people be like in this economy.
- 52:32And let me roll the clap for our listening audience.
- 52:35You look tired. Yeah, I've been constantly
- 52:37living through major historical events for the past decade.
- 52:41And this goes also. I just see this constantly where
- 52:44people talk about having children and they're like, with
- 52:46the environment. In this environment, you're
- 52:49going to have children. In this economy, you can't
- 52:51afford to have children. You guys, people need to get a
- 52:54grip. And I literally think this goes
- 52:56back to like a complete misunderstanding of history.
- 52:59One, people used to have kids in caves.
- 53:01You'll be OK. People lived through the Great
- 53:03Depression. They lived through potato
- 53:05phantoms. They lived through Holocaust,
- 53:07they've lived through genocide. They lived through major world
- 53:09wars. They've lived through war and
- 53:10conquest. They've lived through people
- 53:12used to get on ships from Europe and sail across the Atlantic
- 53:16Ocean and make it to America. And many died of scurvy of every
- 53:21disease. There's been black plagues like
- 53:23we are not living through historically unprecedented
- 53:26times. Like just because Donald Trump
- 53:28got elected president and you don't like like his tweet,
- 53:30you're not living through a historically unprecedented time.
- 53:33You're going to be OK. The environment has also,
- 53:36whether you believe in climate change or whatever, the climate
- 53:38has changed for millions of years, You're also going to be
- 53:41OK, I promise. We had a very cold winter here
- 53:44in DC on the East Coast. I promise you the climate change
- 53:47is going to be OK. You're not going to overheat.
- 53:50The ocean isn't going to rise and overtake your land and your
- 53:53lifetime. Like you're good.
- 53:55I just, I think this is crazy. Like the, I get it, like
- 53:59inflation, you guys, like I, I totally get it.
- 54:01During the Biden years, I was fighting inflation's terrible.
- 54:04That's why we voted in President Trump and he's lowering these
- 54:07prices down, trying to make it more affordable.
- 54:09Like I'm so for that. Like I want the American people
- 54:12to thrive. But also, let's just be honest.
- 54:14Like we live with such modern luxury that like your average
- 54:19peasant from even 100 years ago couldn't even conceive of,
- 54:23people used to do manual labor from sun up to sundown.
- 54:27They would go and dig the food that they would bring home to
- 54:30their table. Meanwhile, now we have people
- 54:33who sit on the couch, order DoorDash a latte and get online
- 54:36on their iPhone and complain. And like poverty in America in
- 54:412026 is so inconceivably different than poverty that
- 54:45exists for even part of the world that lives today, but
- 54:48throughout all of human history. Like poverty in America is like,
- 54:50you still have ATV, like most food.
- 54:53You can still like you have SNAP benefits, like we have
- 54:55government welfare where you can like, you're not going to
- 54:57starve. Like people like if you were
- 55:00impoverished 100 years ago, like you're starving, your kids are
- 55:03dying. That is just I've been on like
- 55:05some rants today. You're you're killing.
- 55:07It Queen. You're not living through
- 55:09historically unprecedented times because Donald Trump tweeted
- 55:13something you don't like and like you believe everybody's
- 55:16racist. Now, yeah, exactly.
- 55:18You're good. Such soft.
- 55:19We'll manage, we'll survive. You can have kids.
- 55:23I promise you, you're not going to hurt the environment from
- 55:25having a few children. And you'll manage in this
- 55:29economy. OK, Cameron, what propaganda are
- 55:33you falling for? This is so random propaganda
- 55:36that I I am falling changing parts.
- 55:39Yeah 100% I love what you said but this has nothing to do with.
- 55:43That we're talking history, we're talking LGBTQ polyamorous
- 55:47relationships. We're talking pumping gas.
- 55:49We're talking. Really.
- 55:50American Only here. About your lattes, we'll cover
- 55:54it all. OK so propaganda that I am
- 55:57falling for is the saying ignorance is bliss.
- 56:00Like, I used to not understand this when I was younger, but now
- 56:04that I'm older, I truly understand like blissful
- 56:07ignorance because I look back like not to have a self
- 56:11deprecating humor, but I look back at like my years at the
- 56:15University of Louisville when I had like -15 dollars in my
- 56:19account, like about to get a $30 overdraft fee charged to my
- 56:24card. And I was so happy.
- 56:26You asked me, Oh, did you hear about?
- 56:27No, didn't hear about shit. Wasn't scrolling online.
- 56:30I went to, I went to class, I went to practice.
- 56:33I cheered a game and I went home and I ate cereal.
- 56:37I talked with my room and that was it.
- 56:38Like maybe you'd see a Snapchat story.
- 56:40Like I wasn't in the know with anything.
- 56:43Like before I got into politics, I'm saying like my first couple
- 56:46years at University of Louisville, I was just
- 56:48blissfully ignorant about everything.
- 56:51I was the happiest I'd ever been.
- 56:53I'm not going to lie. And not to say that my life
- 56:55hasn't gotten like much more beautiful.
- 56:57I've had so many doors open for me.
- 56:58Like I am very, very happy. But I do think that there's
- 57:01something to be said about living like this because once
- 57:04you open your eyes to what's going on around you, if you're
- 57:07constantly recently in the know about everything, trying to
- 57:10understand everything in a deeper context, like looking
- 57:13psychoanalyzing every single situation, being self aware,
- 57:16being situationally aware. Jamie knows this about me too.
- 57:19I enter a room, I clock something out of the corner of
- 57:22my eye from like literally 30 feet away.
- 57:25Like, and, and somehow, some way I'll know about it.
- 57:28Like something there's something to be said of just like living
- 57:31stupidly. Like I truly believe that.
- 57:33Like before I moved to LA, for instance, too.
- 57:35Like, the beauty standards here are so different.
- 57:37I used to think that I was. I'm not going to say I used to
- 57:40think I was pretty, like, OK, let's like, calm down there,
- 57:43Cameron. But like I used to think like
- 57:46what? You are beautiful.
- 57:47No, no, no, you'd be delusional. OK, OK.
- 57:49But I'm just saying like I notice way more about me now
- 57:53than I did like living in Kentucky and stuff.
- 57:55Like, I think LA, there's much more of like a vain culture, you
- 57:59know what I mean? Yeah.
- 58:00And like they. No, that's very true.
- 58:01Yeah, and I just used to live so ignorant.
- 58:03I was in Kentucky. I was like, I'm the hottest shit
- 58:06ever. Like I like, I was like walking
- 58:08around so dumb. Like actually.
- 58:11Is it better to be like a big fish in a small pond or a small
- 58:15fish in a big? Pond so true.
- 58:17I just like I like the mentality.
- 58:19Sometimes I'm happier when I don't know everything.
- 58:21I scroll on X. I'm like, this is doomsday and I
- 58:24don't want to be on this app. Like it looks evil and like
- 58:28everyone once pissed off. There's like fights going on
- 58:32behind these screens. Sometimes I'm like, did you
- 58:34hear? No, I don't want to hear about
- 58:36anything. Sometimes I just want to live.
- 58:37Did you see the breaking news from TMZ today that Donna Kelsey
- 58:42is remodeled? Wrong.
- 58:43No, I don't. I thought that was weird.
- 58:46That was my whole XP, like TMZ, like we'll put on the screen.
- 58:50They broke this random story. Yeah, they're like the Iranian
- 58:53war is taking away from Donna's kitchen remodel.
- 58:58I I just thought that was funny. I'm like, can we have like light
- 59:01hearted things like this? Like I like, I love that
- 59:03everyone's like breaking news, like they're like in the
- 59:05situation Room. Donna Kelsey is yeah, remodeling
- 59:08our home. I'm like more of this.
- 59:09I just think. That there's like something to
- 59:11be said about people who have like low Iqs or like, cuz I
- 59:15don't want to say stupid, but like people who just don't seem
- 59:18to care about like world events, like being happier because
- 59:23they're just out of the know and they're bliss free.
- 59:25Well, I think that's why liberals are very unhappy a lot
- 59:27of times because their entire world is about politics.
- 59:31They make every single thing political and like that is their
- 59:35worldview 24/7. And so when you're thinking that
- 59:38way and you can't just like let loose and like enjoy life
- 59:40sometimes. Like, not everything needs to be
- 59:42like this deep political, like toxic, divisive thing and like
- 59:47an offensive thing to you. And I mean, when you live in
- 59:51that system where you have to constantly hyper, hyper analyze,
- 59:54like the way you say things, not offend all these people.
- 59:57Like, I'm so thankful I'm not a liberal because I don't have to
- 59:59like live by that like scale, if that makes sense.
- 1:00:01I could imagine being pretty miserable in that way.
- 1:00:03I think it's good to get out of politics sometimes and turn off
- 1:00:05your brain. Yeah, I think it's good to turn
- 1:00:07off your brain sometimes. Like I think about just growing
- 1:00:10up in like the amount of I, I guess like I've just, I've just
- 1:00:15matured over the years as anybody does as they get older,
- 1:00:18you have more life experience under your belt.
- 1:00:20And I think of times where I'm like, I never thought about it
- 1:00:22this way. And then I think a little bit
- 1:00:23deeper. I'm like, I don't think I even
- 1:00:25thought about that at all. Like, you know, honestly,
- 1:00:27probably a little bit more of a happier person that way.
- 1:00:30So I don't know if that's propaganda that I'm falling for
- 1:00:32these days. It's just kind of being
- 1:00:34blissfully ignorant. And I know that sounds bad and
- 1:00:36maybe don't take that advice, take it with a grain of salt,
- 1:00:38but sometimes it's good to turn your brain off and just not
- 1:00:40care. I agree.
- 1:00:43I think sometimes it is. It's a nice break.
- 1:00:45Sometimes you need that. Just live happy.
- 1:00:46Sometimes I think it's like important to be smart on issues.
- 1:00:50I really believe in that, that like you should be a have a lot
- 1:00:55of understanding of the world and keep up with politics.
- 1:00:57So you're not stupid, but at the same time don't make your whole.
- 1:01:00Life. Yeah, don't let it consume you
- 1:01:01or you'll get burnt out. My propaganda that I'm falling
- 1:01:06for completely different. I mentioned at the beginning,
- 1:01:09but moving. I am someone that has moved like
- 1:01:1250 million times and like Cameron also has moved 50
- 1:01:16million times, but she like moves all over the country.
- 1:01:18Like I stay in like the same place and move.
- 1:01:20And I swear I'm just like one of those people.
- 1:01:23I get very bored of like where I'm currently living and like
- 1:01:27just want to like go to somewhere better.
- 1:01:30I don't know how to explain it. I just, I don't think you should
- 1:01:32be like, obviously don't be you're financially
- 1:01:35irresponsible. I'm not saying that.
- 1:01:37But like, I don't think there's any problem with moving and
- 1:01:39upgrading. Like I think a lot of people can
- 1:01:42get locked in to the same exact life and never like make any
- 1:01:47changes and never like challenge themselves and just accept the
- 1:01:50status quo. And I like swear I move like
- 1:01:54every spring and it's like a way to do like spring cleaning and
- 1:01:56like to like start a new, like I always have like a bunch of new
- 1:01:59goals after I move that I like want to live up to like I'm
- 1:02:02going to work out more or I'm going to do this more.
- 1:02:04I'm going to do that more. I just think it's like good to
- 1:02:06like change up things, keep things fresh.
- 1:02:09Obviously when you're young, when you're like, you know, when
- 1:02:11you get a little bit older and you buy a house, like you need
- 1:02:14to like, obviously that's a different situation, but
- 1:02:16especially if you're young and like I have children, but if
- 1:02:19you're young and you don't have kids, like move to a different
- 1:02:22neighborhood, like experience new things, don't be financially
- 1:02:24irresponsible, like I said, but I think I think it's just
- 1:02:26exciting. It keeps things exciting.
- 1:02:28It keeps things fresh. And you know, we talked about
- 1:02:30this when it's like leave your hometown.
- 1:02:32And I always recommend that. Like I think it's important to
- 1:02:35experience new things. And I think a lot of people just
- 1:02:38accept like, oh, this is how it has to be.
- 1:02:39And they don't even like think outside of it.
- 1:02:41And like I said, moving is like a very small component of that
- 1:02:44but. I think it teaches important
- 1:02:46life skills though, like you should be able to adapt to
- 1:02:49change. You shouldn't put, you know, too
- 1:02:50much emphasis on like in an sorry, what was I going to say?
- 1:02:55Too much emphasis on inanimate objects and like getting too
- 1:02:58attached to like a certain place of living.
- 1:03:00Like create your memories there and then create new memories
- 1:03:03elsewhere. Like be able to change to grow
- 1:03:06and like upgrade as you see fit like you said.
- 1:03:10Yeah, I agree. There's nothing like too
- 1:03:12philosophical for me. I just think it's like it's fun.
- 1:03:15I'm it's fun. I just.
- 1:03:17Like humans were designed to be outside, to be experiencing new
- 1:03:20things, to be meeting new people, having new
- 1:03:22conversations. What's wrong with with moving a
- 1:03:25lot? Like who cares?
- 1:03:26You know you and I both move so much though.
- 1:03:30Like people will stay in homes for like 3 years.
- 1:03:32Jamie and I will live in six different places with a nut
- 1:03:36span. I will say as I'm going through
- 1:03:39this move right now, it does come with a lot of it's it's
- 1:03:43very tiring, but it's worth I'm always I always like being in a
- 1:03:46new place. It's exciting.
