Speaker 1: that we have yet to unveil to you all. But
3:58
Speaker 1: before we get to those updates, welcome to season six.
4:03
Speaker 1: We are your podcast at us next Door. And when
4:06
Speaker 1: thinking about this year's theme, as you know, each season
4:10
Speaker 1: has a theme and it's always over the top. It's
4:13
Speaker 1: always the best, there's always beautiful visuals to accompany it,
4:18
Speaker 1: and so each year we tried to top last year's.
4:21
Speaker 1: So this year podcast as next Door. We were inspired
4:25
Speaker 1: by some reality TV from the early two thousand's. We
4:30
Speaker 1: were inspired by you know, the Playmates, Yes, Girls next Door,
4:35
Speaker 1: Girls next Door, and so we are your next Door
4:39
Speaker 1: just your friendly neighborhood podcasts. Trying to make a podcast
4:44
Speaker 1: while living at home. And you know, it is season
4:46
Speaker 1: three of The Pandemic and as we were basically writing
4:50
Speaker 1: our script for this episode, we came to the realization
4:54
Speaker 1: that essentially half of our podcast life has now been
4:57
Speaker 1: indoors and in a pandemic and we didn't even realize it.
5:01
Speaker 1: Season three of The Pandemic and season six of Look
5:04
Speaker 1: at Our Radio? When did that happen? How did where
5:07
Speaker 1: did the time go? It's season three of the Pandemic
5:10
Speaker 1: and we are still recording from home, and with that
5:13
Speaker 1: comes a lot of pros and cons. So let's get
5:16
Speaker 1: into some of them today. We're gonna get into a
5:19
Speaker 1: lot of them today. We were laughing, dying because there
5:23
Speaker 1: are some cons that we cannot share on air. Basically,
5:29
Speaker 1: we we are not at liberty to say, um, just
5:32
Speaker 1: know that when you you live where you work, and
5:36
Speaker 1: you work where you live, and everybody is at home
5:39
Speaker 1: in this horrible situation, I feel like tempers are high,
5:44
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like people get into little
5:47
Speaker 1: spats and disputes over all kinds of things. We were
5:50
Speaker 1: just cracking up sharing parking horror stories where in l
5:54
Speaker 1: A like people will go to great lengths over parking spaces,
5:58
Speaker 1: like don't underestimate what a desperate person will do when
6:03
Speaker 1: they need a parking spot in the city of Los Angeles. Yes,
6:06
Speaker 1: there's also lots of entitlement when it comes to parking. Personally,
6:11
Speaker 1: where I live there's ample parking, but people get very
6:15
Speaker 1: very um comfy with their parking and they don't want
6:19
Speaker 1: you to park in front of their house even though
6:22
Speaker 1: it's a public right away. Maybe there was a fight,
6:26
Speaker 1: maybe not, I don't know, but it did not involve me.
6:28
Speaker 1: It's all I'm gonna say, And I think that that's
6:31
Speaker 1: that's perfect. We're gonna keep it that vague. Um. Sometimes
6:36
Speaker 1: older Mexican people think that they can put an orange
6:41
Speaker 1: traffic cone on a public street and claim it as
6:46
Speaker 1: their own personal parking spot and then like get mad
6:49
Speaker 1: and yell at people and start fights when they try
6:51
Speaker 1: and move said cone and parking said public parking spot.
6:55
Speaker 1: Someone that I know that works for the city will
6:59
Speaker 1: remove those because it's not legal to do that. And
7:05
Speaker 1: maybe sometimes when you try and explain things like that
7:08
Speaker 1: to set older Mexican person, they're like, why are you
7:14
Speaker 1: Why are you criticizing me? Like why are you judging me?
7:17
Speaker 1: Where are you? Who are you being a hater. Basically
7:21
Speaker 1: I'm not being a hater. I'm just saying it's a
7:24
Speaker 1: public street, right right, good times. Let's talk about some
7:30
Speaker 1: pros of recording from home now, aside from the barking,
7:34
Speaker 1: which is a nightmare. Um, we're comfy, comfy, there's no
7:41
Speaker 1: commuting or traffic involved. Beautiful. I think that's it. I mean,
7:49
Speaker 1: it is a blessing that, you know, we're able to
7:51
Speaker 1: continue podcasting in spite of everything that's going on. Um,
7:57
Speaker 1: luckily mikes are affordable enough and we have our computers.
8:02
Speaker 1: That's really it. I mean, that's what we what we use,
8:05
Speaker 1: and that we have a pretty basic set up y'all.
8:09
Speaker 1: Like we don't have a handheld recorder. Those are expensive,
8:13
Speaker 1: you know. The mic that we have, it's a good
8:15
Speaker 1: quality mike, but it connects to our computer, we get
8:18
Speaker 1: it done. You know, we're not to go out and
8:22
Speaker 1: spend a ton of money on equipment. That's that's what
8:26
Speaker 1: you like to do. Cool. We never advocate for people
8:29
Speaker 1: to spend more than they more than they can afford.
8:32
Speaker 1: So this is what works for us UM. But there's
8:35
Speaker 1: also a lot of like scheduling that goes around working
8:39
Speaker 1: from recording from home and like today, you know, early January,
8:45
Speaker 1: we had a voiceover gig and we had to like
8:50
Speaker 1: there was a lot of prep work in order to
8:52
Speaker 1: make sure that our space was ready for one. I
8:55
Speaker 1: had to ask my parents to leave by nine am.
8:57
Speaker 1: My parents are very loud when they leave. It's a
9:00
Speaker 1: whole production. It's a show to get them out the door.
9:03
Speaker 1: So I was like, I really need you all to
9:05
Speaker 1: leave by nine am, Like you have to because they're
9:08
Speaker 1: going to hear everything and it's really important that I'm professional.
9:12
Speaker 1: I need you to be gone by nine And they respected.
9:15
Speaker 1: If they didn't, they were all got both My parents
9:17
Speaker 1: were gone ten minutes to nine. It was nice. Thank god,
9:21
Speaker 1: that's good. See when you have the cooperation, that's lovely.
9:25
Speaker 1: Like my grandpa likes to saw things, you know, and
9:31
Speaker 1: like I live above the garage, my little apartment, and
9:35
Speaker 1: the garage is his like workshop where his drills and
9:38
Speaker 1: his saws. I'm directly above it. So we have like
9:43
Speaker 1: an understanding. And I'm like, Grandpa, I'm recording today, can
9:46
Speaker 1: you not saw anything in half? Just for like forty
9:49
Speaker 1: five minutes? And He's like, got it, I'll go hammer
9:52
Speaker 1: this thing over here instead, you know. So it's all
9:58
Speaker 1: about teamwork. But yeah, the thing is like there's a
10:01
Speaker 1: lot of ambient sounds. There's just a lot of environmental
10:05
Speaker 1: noise when you're at home and you have neighbors and
10:07
Speaker 1: you have family and you have tons of dogs like
10:10
Speaker 1: we have, or if you have like a shitty white
10:12
Speaker 1: fridge like I have. Like during today's very same voice
10:16
Speaker 1: over gig, their sound engineer was like, what's that humming noise?
10:22
Speaker 1: And we were at the USA and I at the
10:23
Speaker 1: same time, We're like my fridge, So I had to
10:26
Speaker 1: unplug it. It's unplugged again right now, son? Yes, yes,
10:30
Speaker 1: do you remember early on o G listeners know when
10:34
Speaker 1: the smoke detector beeping and we unplugged it and it
10:38
Speaker 1: was still beeping and we changed the batteries. It just
10:41
Speaker 1: kept beeping. It was insane and people were listeners are
10:44
Speaker 1: mad about it, and we're like, we know, okay, we know,
10:48
Speaker 1: we we hear it too, We really do hear it.
10:50
Speaker 1: Tried fixing it, We changed the batteries, okay, we did
10:55
Speaker 1: everything we could do. And then like, for a while,
10:58
Speaker 1: I could not figure out how to at the message
11:01
Speaker 1: the messages notification on my laptop. I couldn't for the
11:04
Speaker 1: life of me. And then I would I would Google
11:06
Speaker 1: and I would look at the instructions and then I
11:08
Speaker 1: would try it, and they still kept coming through. Listeners
11:11
Speaker 1: got mad about that too. Sorry guys. Um, yeah, good stuff.
11:16
Speaker 1: My dog he likes to come bother me the second
11:18
Speaker 1: we start recording. It's true, it's true. There's a lot
11:22
Speaker 1: of external noise, the dogs barking. Sometimes my cat is mewing. Um,
11:30
Speaker 1: you know. And it's really funny to me when podcasters
11:34
Speaker 1: more like the the like studio network podcasters, probably some
11:39
Speaker 1: indie two, But when they talk about recording in their closets,
11:43
Speaker 1: I'm like, how like I don't have a walk in closet,
11:46
Speaker 1: I don't fit in my closet, Like I cannot record
11:50
Speaker 1: in a closet, So that that joke about podcasters recording
11:53
Speaker 1: in their closet. Can't relate, doesn't apply to me, can't relate.
11:57
Speaker 1: I guess if you live in a mansion, if you're
12:00
Speaker 1: podcasting in a wing of Oprah Winfreeze house, you can
12:04
Speaker 1: record in a closet. There's no where to sit, it's
12:07
Speaker 1: filled with stuff. It's filled with stuff, and don't even
12:10
Speaker 1: have like I have the type of closet like like
12:13
Speaker 1: like an old closet where like sliding doors, like there's
12:17
Speaker 1: they don't open up outwards. That sounds very rich and
12:20
Speaker 1: lovely to me. The extravaganza of it all. One day
12:26
Speaker 1: we aspire to record in our closets. One day, I
12:29
Speaker 1: think that's when we'll know we've really made it, if
12:31
Speaker 1: we have closets big enough to record our indie podcasting,
12:34
Speaker 1: or we have an actual studio. I mean, I think
12:36
Speaker 1: that would be the real measure. Whatever, it's fine. We
12:41
Speaker 1: persevere through it all. We persevere through it all, all
12:46
Speaker 1: while recording from home. And so I want to ask you, Mala,
12:50
Speaker 1: what kind of neighbor are you? Yes? Yes, so we
12:54
Speaker 1: are the you know podcast at us next door, and um,
12:58
Speaker 1: the type of neighbor I am? I think that I'm
13:00
Speaker 1: very aloof. I am a hermit. I am definitely the
13:05
Speaker 1: neighborhood mariwanea. Um. I do smoke at home and in
13:11
Speaker 1: and around like well, I mean in my space with
13:14
Speaker 1: like the doors and window shots like my grandparents you know,
13:17
Speaker 1: are not necessarily so cognizant that I'm getting high. But um,
13:22
Speaker 1: when I walk my dog, I smoke. And so I
13:24
Speaker 1: think people like know that, like I'm like the neighborhood,
13:27
Speaker 1: you know, pothead, and I have earned that title, Okay,
13:31
Speaker 1: I've worked very diligently, um at that that place in
13:36
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. So I'm kind of also the Grinch, Like
13:40
Speaker 1: I stay up here in my space and I do
13:42
Speaker 1: my writing, and I do my podcasting, and I do
13:44
Speaker 1: my TV watching, and I do my my research unless
13:48
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, not here, unless I'm like outskating
13:53
Speaker 1: or I'm like meeting up with people. So I think
13:56
Speaker 1: I'm very like Aloof, and I come down when I'm
14:02
Speaker 1: like summoned or with like an invitation lots of coaxing.
14:07
Speaker 1: I'm like the Grinch, and I only come down to
14:10
Speaker 1: Huville on very rare occasions. Definitely like a curmudged le
14:13
Speaker 1: hottie because there's a lot of like street harassment in
14:15
Speaker 1: my neighborhood. And so like I don't say hi to anybody,
14:18
Speaker 1: I don't say how to anyone. I don't address anyone
14:21
Speaker 1: unless you're you're my grandma's friend and you're like another
14:24
Speaker 1: Senora or like you're like a Senora walking her dog
14:27
Speaker 1: and I'm walking my dog. Like I will talk to you,
14:30
Speaker 1: but like literally no one else. Um, I'm also like
14:33
Speaker 1: the naked window neighbor because I will forget that I
14:35
Speaker 1: don't have any clothes on and that my window is open,
14:38
Speaker 1: you know, Like I'm also that person, but I'm trying
14:40
Speaker 1: to work on that because I'm like, you know what,
14:43
Speaker 1: this is a very highly populated area and like my
14:46
Speaker 1: windows are not tinted, like people can see me. So
14:50
Speaker 1: that's the type of neighbor I am. How about you,
14:53
Speaker 1: We need to get you some curtains, and so I'm here.
14:56
Speaker 1: I do I have very heavy um the Roman lines
15:00
Speaker 1: that you pull down, yes, and they're always down, but
15:04
Speaker 1: then except when they're not, and then I forget, you
15:06
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that happens. It happens, happens, it happens.
15:09
Speaker 1: What kind of neighbor are you? Um? I think that
15:12
Speaker 1: I am a toss between. Well, first, I feel like
15:15
Speaker 1: I'm the dog walker, Like I have lots of dogs
15:18
Speaker 1: and I walk them all at once. So there are
15:21
Speaker 1: a good times where people do ask me if I
15:22
Speaker 1: walk dogs, like are you a dog walker? And I'm like, yes,
15:27
Speaker 1: you can't afford me, you cannot afford my services. You
15:30
Speaker 1: cannot afford my services. Um, I am the dog walker.
15:34
Speaker 1: So there's that. I also feel like I like I'm
15:38
Speaker 1: a toss between like friendly hottie next door and like
15:42
Speaker 1: unfriendly hottie next door, Like catch me on the wrong day.
15:47
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the friendly hottie. I'm not
15:49
Speaker 1: gonna I'm just gonna get in my car and not
15:51
Speaker 1: say hi and like zoom off. Other times, sure, I'll
15:54
Speaker 1: have the convo with you. We'll talk about what's happening
15:57
Speaker 1: on your roses and of changes that you're doing to
16:01
Speaker 1: your house and blah blah blah um. You know. And also,
16:05
Speaker 1: since I've been living in my house for close to
16:09
Speaker 1: twenty years, with the exception of you know, moving to
16:14
Speaker 1: Zenna Barbara for undergrad my neighbors have really seen me
16:17
Speaker 1: grow up and have seen like, you know, the evolving
16:21
Speaker 1: partners that have come by. I love that. So evolving partners,
16:30
Speaker 1: you know, that's a journey. I don't want to say
16:32
Speaker 1: it's a rotation because it's not more of like in evolved.
16:37
Speaker 1: You know, as I have grown up, so have the partners.
16:41
Speaker 1: Partners have changed. You know. I'm also like, you know,
16:46
Speaker 1: snack sneaking my boyfriend in or why don't really sneak
16:49
Speaker 1: fitting on the wind? But more so like you know,
16:52
Speaker 1: he's over. I'm that, I'm that neighbor. Yes, I love that.
16:57
Speaker 1: I love that, and I love that. It's like, Okay,
17:01
Speaker 1: there's probably just like the associate a different phase of
17:04
Speaker 1: your life, probably with like your hair cut in color.
17:07
Speaker 1: And then also who were you dating? That's so true.
17:09
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right. You're right. And and and and
17:19
Speaker 1: and and and and and and and and and and
17:30
Speaker 1: and and and and and um um um um um
17:47
Speaker 1: um um um um um um of it and ship. Alright, y'all.
18:01
Speaker 1: So today we want to talk about one of our
18:05
Speaker 1: favorite topics and something that has kind of had a
18:08
Speaker 1: renaissance via TikTok via gen z and also an inspo
18:13
Speaker 1: for the season's theme. Yeah, we're talking about bimbos, and
18:20
Speaker 1: this episode is in defense of bimbos, some iconic bimbos
18:23
Speaker 1: throughout history, bimbos who have been inspirations to us, and
18:27
Speaker 1: too many out there it seems. And yeah, we're pocas
18:31
Speaker 1: at us next door. That definitely is a callback and
18:34
Speaker 1: a throwback to the girls next door. Um, there's actually
18:38
Speaker 1: a new documentary out about like Surviving Playboy and like
18:43
Speaker 1: the drama and the disaster and how it was kind
18:47
Speaker 1: of an abusive environment. So I think that there's a
18:49
Speaker 1: lot more to being a bimbo than we previously recognize
18:54
Speaker 1: as a culture. Yeah, you know, we at Local Tora
18:58
Speaker 1: are all about the count narratives about looking at popular
19:02
Speaker 1: culture from a different lens, which is why we developed
19:05
Speaker 1: look up hisstemologies. So I think anything that is said
19:09
Speaker 1: here is through that lens, it's through that viewpoint. So
19:12
Speaker 1: just to get started, let's define what a bimbo is.
19:17
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of definitions now, especially visa
19:22
Speaker 1: v TikTok. A lot of folks who are like bimbo
19:26
Speaker 1: content creators, Like they're dressing up in a particular way,
19:30
Speaker 1: you know, lots of cleavage, tiny skirts, full face hair
19:35
Speaker 1: and makeup. The ship that we love, the ship that
19:37
Speaker 1: we're all about we love it, we love it. The
19:39
Speaker 1: other day, Mala was like, so are mini skirts back
19:41
Speaker 1: micro skirts? And I was like did they ever leave?
19:47
Speaker 1: You know? So like they're having a resurgence, resurgence truly, truly,
19:52
Speaker 1: And some of these bimbo content creators have like put
19:55
Speaker 1: out definitions for what a bimbo is and some of
19:58
Speaker 1: them like make sure to include like bimbos are pro sects, work,
20:04
Speaker 1: anti capitalists, anti prison, Like bimbos are social justice minded, Yes,
20:10
Speaker 1: yes they are. And but just to like before we
20:13
Speaker 1: get into like the new definitions that folks are creating,
20:15
Speaker 1: I just want to read like a standard probably written
20:19
Speaker 1: by a white person, a white man. A bimbo, according
20:22
Speaker 1: to dictionary dot com is an attractive, but unintelligent or
20:26
Speaker 1: frivolous young woman. Sounds like a fem to me, sounds
20:31
Speaker 1: like a fucking fem. And again, the ship we love,
20:34
Speaker 1: you know, we've been talking about for years, like the
20:36
Speaker 1: things that women like that fams like makeup, dressing up, nails.
20:42
Speaker 1: You know, we call it all kinds of things. Goddess worship,
20:45
Speaker 1: we call it firm defense, even fem technology. And we're
20:50
Speaker 1: just all about reclaiming these things that we get made
20:53
Speaker 1: fun of. For yes, the things that are seen as frivolous,
20:57
Speaker 1: And it's like the question is frivolous to who do
21:01
Speaker 1: and in what context? I mean? And there are so
21:04
Speaker 1: many famous bimbos throughout history, we like went and did
21:08
Speaker 1: like a little deep dive into some of our favorite bimbos,
21:11
Speaker 1: so of course, so who like how can we forget
21:15
Speaker 1: Elwoods of Legally Blonde? We love el Woods, brought to
21:19
Speaker 1: life by Reese Witherspoon, one of the most iconic bimbos
21:23
Speaker 1: of all time. But it's hard. Oh my god, such
21:26
Speaker 1: a good movie, such good acting, such good writings, such
21:29
Speaker 1: an amazing wardrobe. Yes, yes, and um el is just
21:33
Speaker 1: that girl and we love her and I feel like
21:36
Speaker 1: legally Blonde. And also el Woods is having their own
21:40
Speaker 1: like redefining that it's actually a feminist movie. Hell yeah,
21:45
Speaker 1: you know. And at the time I didn't receive that
21:47
Speaker 1: kind of accolade. But now, like looking back, we're looking
21:50
Speaker 1: back at early two thousand films. Obviously in pulp culture,
21:53
Speaker 1: it's having a resurgence and folks are giving giving it
21:57
Speaker 1: the claim and the accolades that it deserves because it
22:00
Speaker 1: is a feminist film. It is and not only that,
22:03
Speaker 1: but I think folks are also like recognizing some really
22:07
Speaker 1: incredible performances from that film, like um, Jennifer Coolidge in
22:11
Speaker 1: and of herself as having a moment, and I think
22:14
Speaker 1: she is like considered maybe in this spectrum of bimbo
22:19
Speaker 1: hood and has played many a bimbo and like to
22:22
Speaker 1: a t and I mean like Paultte bonafante, like stop it.
22:27
Speaker 1: She's the original dog mom, the original dog mom. We
22:30
Speaker 1: love Paulette. She brought us the bendon snap. I mean,
22:34
Speaker 1: it's just good time. So we've got bimbos upon bimbos
22:37
Speaker 1: um and then of course, like we said, our namesake
22:40
Speaker 1: for this season, the Girl's next door? Who are some
22:44
Speaker 1: of the girls next door? Like the really popular ones
22:47
Speaker 1: that really took off? Who would you say? I don't
22:50
Speaker 1: remember any of their kee. She's the only one I
22:54
Speaker 1: can really think of Wilkinson right, Yes, yes, she's a
22:58
Speaker 1: real estate agent. Now, good for her. She has a
23:00
Speaker 1: TV show now with her kids. Yes she's in real estate,
23:04
Speaker 1: good for her. Um. Dolly Parton is obviously an o
23:07
Speaker 1: G bimbo, iconic bimbo, and like a huge philanthropist, she
23:14
Speaker 1: does a ton of work, like donates a ton of money,
23:18
Speaker 1: gives like books to children. Children she's paying for like
23:22
Speaker 1: if her employees at Dolly would want to go to school,
23:25
Speaker 1: like she's paying for their education. A bimbo of the people, Yes,
23:30
Speaker 1: the people's bimbo. The people's bimbo very much. Though we
23:34
Speaker 1: love Dolly and Dolly has always had such an amazing
23:37
Speaker 1: sense of humor, Like I love looking at old interview
23:40
Speaker 1: clips of Dolly Parton on like whatever fucking talk show,
23:43
Speaker 1: because she has outlived all of them, basically, and you know,
23:46
Speaker 1: they want to come for her fake tips, and they
23:48
Speaker 1: want to come for her nails and her wigs. But
23:51
Speaker 1: she she has her one liner is just ready in
23:53
Speaker 1: the cliff, ready to go. She has them cute up, yes,
23:57
Speaker 1: and she could always make fun of herself, very self aware.
24:00
Speaker 1: I love Dolly And then, of course, okay, have you
24:01
Speaker 1: been watching Pam and Tommy? I haven't because I've been
24:06
Speaker 1: hearing like we're not supposed to, like, because she doesn't
24:09
Speaker 1: want to say she didn't actually consent to it, So
24:11
Speaker 1: I've had some feelings about it, like should I watch it? Right?
24:15
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair. I would also venture to say
24:18
Speaker 1: that's probably true of like any like unauthorized biography autobiography
24:26
Speaker 1: docu series. Yes, yes, you know, and not to be
24:30
Speaker 1: like just watch it anyways, it's so good. So I
24:34
Speaker 1: just say I've had like an internal dilemma. I feel you.
24:38
Speaker 1: I hear obviously, folks, you know, watch what you want,
24:41
Speaker 1: you know, and no shame or anything. I'm just me personally,
24:44
Speaker 1: I'm like, do I watch this? But I also want to,
24:46
Speaker 1: you know, like anything, like I want to keep up
24:49
Speaker 1: with the online chatter, like I want to know what,
24:51
Speaker 1: folks we're talking about. Yes, now here's what's fascinating about
24:55
Speaker 1: the show. So Pamela Anderson, of course, iconic bimbo of
24:59
Speaker 1: like film, television, Hollywood, famous for Baywatch, killing it in Baywatch,
25:05
Speaker 1: famous for her relationship, famous for her boobs, you know,
25:09
Speaker 1: like quite specifically, and the time period of like Pam
25:14
Speaker 1: and Tommy. I remember being a kid and like just
25:18
Speaker 1: seeing things like on TV because you know, in l a,
25:22
Speaker 1: Hollywood news and celebrity news is on the same channel
25:25
Speaker 1: as the news. News intertwined, and I realized that other
25:29
Speaker 1: people in other places don't have celebrity news as part
25:33
Speaker 1: of the regular news. Are you feeling I'm serious. I
25:38
Speaker 1: was talking to somebody who grew up in the Midwest. Yes,
25:43
Speaker 1: I was. He was like, I was talking to this
25:45
Speaker 1: guy who, like um, grew up in the Midwest, and
25:48
Speaker 1: he was saying like, yeah, you know, for us, like
25:52
Speaker 1: just chatting about celebs and the things that they do
25:55
Speaker 1: is not we don't keep up with that info. And
25:58
Speaker 1: he's like, you guys seem to know so much about it,
26:00
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, yeah, because you could literally be
26:02
Speaker 1: watching Channel four local news and in between k t
26:05
Speaker 1: l A or whatever the traffic report, it's access Hollywood
26:10
Speaker 1: celebrity reports. We consider that to be news, but other
26:14
Speaker 1: people are not getting that as their news. I'm dying.
26:17
Speaker 1: I had no idea. It was just standard w It's
26:25
Speaker 1: like not a thing. It's our local ship. That's like okay,
26:28
Speaker 1: so all of our like out of state. Look, I'm
26:31
Speaker 1: what is Please let me know. I need you to
26:33
Speaker 1: confirm with me. Do you not get celebrity news as
26:37
Speaker 1: a part of your daytime news, your evening news. Let
26:41
Speaker 1: us know the local local news. Tell us you know,
26:44
Speaker 1: like not fancy cable or whatever, your local Well that
26:48
Speaker 1: would make sense because it's not local to them, right,
26:51
Speaker 1: So it's not a part of local news like it
26:53
Speaker 1: is US. Yes, our local news is sex Tapes Hollywood.
26:59
Speaker 1: Mario Lopez, right, Mario Lopez is a correspondent basically delivers
27:06
Speaker 1: are celebrity news. Wow, doesn't that put so many things
27:11
Speaker 1: into contact? It really does? It really does. I've always wondered, like,
27:15
Speaker 1: you know, it's just so like ingrained in US, you know,
27:19
Speaker 1: like we know, even if you're not you have to
27:21
Speaker 1: try really hard to not know what's happening in like
27:24
Speaker 1: celebrity culture. You know, even when I was like going
27:27
Speaker 1: through like my I'm an intellectual phase, you know, you know,
27:31
Speaker 1: like when I was in high school, it was like
27:32
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to keep up with that.
27:33
Speaker 1: You can't, It's impossible. You live here in l A
27:36
Speaker 1: like exactly. So today you know, now people have their
27:39
Speaker 1: row coup, people have every streaming package. I'm sure the
27:43
Speaker 1: access to celebrity news is greater now. But when we
27:47
Speaker 1: were just kids and like there was celebt news, that
27:51
Speaker 1: was us. That was just our unique experience. Well, like
27:54
Speaker 1: when like TMZ was founded, like we were in probably
27:57
Speaker 1: middle school, right, maybe high school, and that was like
28:02
Speaker 1: its inception. So for us, we've always known like a
28:06
Speaker 1: TMZ paparazzi world exactly, so specifically to our date, our
28:10
Speaker 1: age demographic, to our age demographic as being like, oh,
28:13
Speaker 1: this is just local news updates. So now people have
28:16
Speaker 1: the Internet, people have Twitter, people have TikTok, everybody has
28:18
Speaker 1: access to news now. But yeah, so back in the
28:20
Speaker 1: day when Pam and Tommy was the thing, we were
28:23
Speaker 1: seeing Pam and Tommy on our local news, right, you know.
28:28
Speaker 1: So it's kind of unlocking these interesting memories for me
28:31
Speaker 1: and like getting the behind the scenes in the background.
28:33
Speaker 1: And there's this one episode where sorry this is a spoiler,
28:37
Speaker 1: when the sex tape is getting distributed. It's getting distributed online,
28:41
Speaker 1: but no one knows what the internet is yet, and
28:43
Speaker 1: Pam and Tommy go to the library to use a
28:46
Speaker 1: computer to like go on the internet to try and
28:49
Speaker 1: see what is the internet? And what do you mean
28:50
Speaker 1: the tape is on the internet. I don't have in
28:53
Speaker 1: we don't have internet. Stress. Oh my god, that's terrible. Also,
29:00
Speaker 1: fun fact about Pamela Anderson. Years ago, there was this
29:04
Speaker 1: gymnast I don't remember her full name, but the nickname
29:07
Speaker 1: that everyone gave her was Mo and she was like
29:09
Speaker 1: an older gymnast for gm USA, and Pamela Anderson was
29:13
Speaker 1: like her primary benefactor and supporter and paid for her
29:17
Speaker 1: training and her transportation and went to the Olympics to
29:21
Speaker 1: see her perform. If you google Pamela Anderson mo gymnastics,
29:26
Speaker 1: you'll see Pam Anderson with her son like cheering on
29:29
Speaker 1: this gymnast with these signs at say go mo. So anyways,
29:32
Speaker 1: I want a big Pam Anderson kick right now, you
29:35
Speaker 1: chaman one of our favor bimbo Yeah. And you know
29:39
Speaker 1: when obviously, when compiling this list, we were like, Okay,
29:42
Speaker 1: there are a lot of white bimbos, clearly like in
29:45
Speaker 1: pop culture. And so that of course led us to ask,
29:49
Speaker 1: like who is allowed to be a bimbo ran society? Right,
29:53
Speaker 1: Like even if it's looked down upon, Like, do women
29:57
Speaker 1: of color ever get labeled bimbo os or are they
30:02
Speaker 1: just like sex like sex goddesses or sex symbols. Do
30:06
Speaker 1: they fall into these tropes of like spicy latinos, right,
30:11
Speaker 1: And so we started to like think about some of
30:14
Speaker 1: our some of the bimbos of color if you will,
30:18
Speaker 1: in pop culture and media. And so one of them
30:22
Speaker 1: is actually like a cartoon, which would be Betty Boop.
30:27
Speaker 1: One of the origin stories of Betty Boop is actually
30:30
Speaker 1: um that she was a black singer from the nineteen
30:35
Speaker 1: twenties and she you know, singing clubs and saying specifically
30:39
Speaker 1: in Harlem. And her name is Esther Jones or was
30:42
Speaker 1: Esther Jones, And she has been attributed as the inspiration
30:46
Speaker 1: and I would say also probably the forgotten inspiration of
30:49
Speaker 1: Betty Boop. And so the character that we know and love,
30:53
Speaker 1: um is inspired by a black woman, and um, I
30:56
Speaker 1: would say that she was probably a bimbo of that era. Yeah,
31:00
Speaker 1: I think like there's maybe. And of course, like these
31:05
Speaker 1: names and categories like probably mean many different things like
31:10
Speaker 1: now when we're talking about them on a podcast versus
31:12
Speaker 1: at the time. But I'm thinking about like show girls
31:16
Speaker 1: and chorus girls and you know, um women who are
31:20
Speaker 1: like doing strip teases and exotic dancers. I feel like
31:23
Speaker 1: they're probably all sort of existing somewhere in this bimbo
31:28
Speaker 1: spectrum for sure. For sure, like the show girl, Yes,
31:34
Speaker 1: and I think she was like a dancer, a show
31:37
Speaker 1: girl type of vibe singer performer, singer performer exactly exactly,
31:43
Speaker 1: So Betty Boop. There's a lot more we were thinking
31:46
Speaker 1: about the cast of Clueless, because obviously share is like
31:50
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bimbo in her own way,
31:52
Speaker 1: but so is her friend Dion, as portrayed by Stacy Dash. Yes,
31:58
Speaker 1: I would say she was a bimbo at the time,
32:00
Speaker 1: very much so. I couldn't drive, Yeah, I couldn't drive.
32:04
Speaker 1: Love to shop. I have no further comments on Stacy Stacy. Dad,
32:08
Speaker 1: We're not talking about Stacy Dash. We're talking about the
32:10
Speaker 1: character Dione. We love die Deanna hilarious. Yeah. I mean
32:16
Speaker 1: also that they were both named in the film, right,
32:19
Speaker 1: Their characters are both named after famous singers, like that's
32:23
Speaker 1: That's something named after Diva's very much so love it.
32:27
Speaker 1: I think also another like loved beloved bimbo would be
32:31
Speaker 1: like Hillary Banks of Fresh Prince of bel Air. Love
32:34
Speaker 1: Hillary Bank, you know, I feel like she was treating
32:37
Speaker 1: like her family treated her as like a frivolous, very
32:42
Speaker 1: pretty girl and that was it. They didn't give her
32:45
Speaker 1: the depth she probably deserved. But she was stylish, she
32:48
Speaker 1: was fashionable for super Yeah. Hillary was very funny. Hillary
32:53
Speaker 1: had some really good one liners. She did. She did.
32:56
Speaker 1: She had always a quippy thing to say about men,
32:59
Speaker 1: men with money, men without money. Love. Hillary Banks also
33:04
Speaker 1: best dressed on TV who else. I used to watch
33:08
Speaker 1: Girlfriends a lot growing up. Girlfriends was that show, and
33:12
Speaker 1: I think Lynn was maybe considered the bimbo of the group.
33:17
Speaker 1: Even though Lynn is always in like a PhD program,
33:19
Speaker 1: she was always getting some type of degree, like not finishing,
33:24
Speaker 1: and that was the joke, right, She's always in school
33:26
Speaker 1: and never done no degree. Yes, love Lynn, love girlfriends,
33:32
Speaker 1: and then of course we have friends. We have Phoebe. Phoebe.
33:37
Speaker 1: I would say she was given like the ditzy, the bimbo,
33:41
Speaker 1: hippy hippie. She's like, that's and that's its own category
33:43
Speaker 1: that we were talking about. There's like the hippie, dizzy granola.
33:50
Speaker 1: She's a granola, a granola hippie bimbo for sure. Yeah,
33:55
Speaker 1: I love that. And I think one of my favorites too,
33:58
Speaker 1: would be Evan Glodia's character and Desperate Housewives, So good,
34:03
Speaker 1: Gabby Sull, so good, Carlos. She also had one liners.
34:08
Speaker 1: My favorite is when she says, I love going to therapy.
34:11
Speaker 1: I just talked about myself the entire same girl exactly.
34:19
Speaker 1: So she, you know, Gabby Sellis is her own sort
34:23
Speaker 1: of blueprint. You know, she got the guy, she got
34:26
Speaker 1: the house, she got the neighborhood was the model. She
34:29
Speaker 1: was the model. So we love her, we love and
34:33
Speaker 1: we also love the character. Yes, Gabby Sullies. I think
34:38
Speaker 1: Desperate Housewives also gave us a little inspo for our photoship.
34:42
Speaker 1: It did like literally next door down the street with
34:46
Speaker 1: Steria Lane Podcaster Lane exactly. They definitely made it to
34:53
Speaker 1: our pinterest board. We'll say that the mood board. Who else, Okay,
34:56
Speaker 1: ugly Betty, the sister, the sister, that's at least, no,
35:02
Speaker 1: that's that's the politician. Yeah, I'm thinking of yes, no,
35:09
Speaker 1: not the politician, don't hope me. Um, that's what is
35:13
Speaker 1: of ugly Betty. Um. She was like the teen mom
35:18
Speaker 1: trying to figure out her like creative career right with
35:22
Speaker 1: the gay side, yes, yes, but very supportive, very amazing.
35:27
Speaker 1: She was very involved with her family. But they also
35:29
Speaker 1: put her in like the little outfits with the with
35:32
Speaker 1: the the plunging necklines and cleaving. Yes, yes, absolutely it's her.
35:38
Speaker 1: And then it's Modern Family's Gloria. Yeah, so do you like?
35:43
Speaker 1: Obviously what is the character came first and then it
35:47
Speaker 1: was Gloria for modern family, correlation must be there, must
35:52
Speaker 1: be right, like the blueprint, and I know that, like,
35:55
Speaker 1: for example, one of our friends, um Celestian, has done
35:58
Speaker 1: like um in our article, like an academic article about
36:02
Speaker 1: Gloria and her accent. Love it. And so we're not
36:06
Speaker 1: going to deep dive into like the trope and the
36:09
Speaker 1: caricature of Gloria herself. But I think that she at
36:16
Speaker 1: least the character maybe the writers like I, I really
36:19
Speaker 1: appreciated this line that she has in the show where
36:22
Speaker 1: she's like, do you know how hard it is to
36:24
Speaker 1: like be funny in another language and be smart in
36:27
Speaker 1: another language and are always making fun of me? And
36:30
Speaker 1: I really appreciated that because I feel like it gives
36:33
Speaker 1: that depth to that character of like not just being
36:36
Speaker 1: sexy in a pretty face like I'm just worry, Like
36:39
Speaker 1: she knew how to work it, you know. I love
36:43
Speaker 1: that they give her um, They give her a lot
36:46
Speaker 1: of really good dialogue, Like, they give her a lot
36:48
Speaker 1: of really funny jokes, and they allow her character, I think,
36:53
Speaker 1: to be like very quick, and I think that like
36:56
Speaker 1: with her in Jay, like she always wins, she always wins,
36:59
Speaker 1: She always wins, because that that's like also its own
37:02
Speaker 1: dynamic right of like the young hot wife and like
37:05
Speaker 1: the older man, the older husband, and she's just like
37:09
Speaker 1: always going to get what she wants. Yes, why else
37:14
Speaker 1: a bimbo? Why else? Um? And then finally, you know,
37:19
Speaker 1: this is this is not an extensive list, but finally
37:23
Speaker 1: we had to talk about the O G Many Santhos.
37:27
Speaker 1: We love Many Santhos and in the age of e
37:30
Speaker 1: Fouria Darling, like we just say Many Santhos walk. Yes,
37:35
Speaker 1: so those bitches couldn't run. Yes, Yes, without Mannie Santos,
37:39
Speaker 1: there is no Maddie Perez. It's true. There's no like
37:44
Speaker 1: song as an accessory without Many Santos. It's true. It's
37:49
Speaker 1: true our Canadian queen. Yes. Obsessed with her, obsessed with her.
37:56
Speaker 1: She was, Yeah, I just loved her character, Like I
38:01
Speaker 1: don't think in De Grassi she plays Latina, like I
38:05
Speaker 1: think she's actually Filipino and her characters, but I remember
38:08
Speaker 1: like reading her as Latina and I was like, this
38:11
Speaker 1: is my girl, you know, like it felt like the
38:13
Speaker 1: representation as like a little kid, even even even you know,
38:18
Speaker 1: loving that she was a Filipino character and being like
38:21
Speaker 1: so down for that, you know, absolutely, like I didn't
38:24
Speaker 1: feel like, oh but that's not me, Like no, that
38:26
Speaker 1: was me, Like even if it wasn't necessarily the same culture. Yes,
38:30
Speaker 1: she killed it. I mean from being very daring with
38:33
Speaker 1: the wardrobe, that character, having the self awareness of like
38:37
Speaker 1: there's some slut shaming going on in high school, but
38:40
Speaker 1: she's like, you know what, I'm going to own it.
38:42
Speaker 1: Fuck you guys, you're boring. You're boring, and you're going
38:46
Speaker 1: to see my chain thomb. You're gonna see it. Yes,
38:50
Speaker 1: I love it. And then her opposite, what was the
38:52
Speaker 1: opposite character, Emma? Was it Emma? She was like the prudisha. Yeah,
38:59
Speaker 1: that like is doing some of the slush shaming too,
39:02
Speaker 1: you see. And this is interesting because in Euphoria they
39:05
Speaker 1: have a very interesting similar dynamic with Maddie and Cassie. Interesting.
39:09
Speaker 1: I'm not up on the Euphoria, but yeah, but there's
39:14
Speaker 1: a similar There's two friends in their opposites and one
39:17
Speaker 1: is like the blonde, innocent one, and then one is
39:20
Speaker 1: Maddie Alexa Demi's character. Yeah, but the blonde one is
39:26
Speaker 1: sleeping with Alexa Demi's boyfriend, So how innocent is she really? Right? Right?
39:32
Speaker 1: But they're all like, oh, Maddie press fights with everybody,
39:35
Speaker 1: She gets into fights, so she's like the dangerous one
39:38
Speaker 1: she'll suck you up. But then this girl's like Cassie's
39:41
Speaker 1: the innocent angel, but she's sleeping with your boyfriends. To
39:49
Speaker 1: start watching Euphoria, it's good, it's good, it's good. That's stressful.
39:54
Speaker 1: That's like another show like the chatter I need to keep.
39:57
Speaker 1: I need I want to know what people are talking
39:59
Speaker 1: about mine. People are talking about it. There's the thing
40:02
Speaker 1: pieces either you love it, you hate it. Is what
40:05
Speaker 1: I've gathered. Oh yeah, there's like no in between. I
40:08
Speaker 1: think you would watch it and that you would appreciate
40:11
Speaker 1: it for what it is, but I think part of
40:13
Speaker 1: you would be like, this is what everybody's There's some
40:17
Speaker 1: stuff in there that's a little questionable, the stuff with Cal,
40:20
Speaker 1: with Nate's dad, with Nate, and there's just a lot
40:23
Speaker 1: of there's just there's you have to see it. That's
40:26
Speaker 1: my homework. Okay, I'll do it. I'll watch it. So
40:31
Speaker 1: what else we also wanted to? Of course, we have
40:33
Speaker 1: this conversation without shouting out like Sama hyak Now, I
40:38
Speaker 1: wouldn't consider Samahaya a bimbo, more like a sex symbol. Right, agreed?
40:43
Speaker 1: I agree completely, But I think that she like could
40:46
Speaker 1: be under this category because I think that she like
40:50
Speaker 1: it's also someone that I think she like. This is
40:54
Speaker 1: just my assessment. I have no I have no way
40:56
Speaker 1: to back this up, Okay, but I'm just saying my
40:58
Speaker 1: my assessment of Salma Hike is that when her when
41:02
Speaker 1: she firstarted her career, she very much like played by
41:04
Speaker 1: the roles and did what she had to do because
41:06
Speaker 1: she knew, like, I'm Latina getting into the scene, right
41:09
Speaker 1: into the industry, so I'm gonna like be nice, right.
41:13
Speaker 1: And now I feel like, obviously she has like this
41:15
Speaker 1: decade long career, and I see her like more vocal
41:18
Speaker 1: about like her career in the past and like, you know,
41:21
Speaker 1: the sexual inappropriate things that would happen to her on
41:24
Speaker 1: set and like all that, and so I feel like
41:27
Speaker 1: maybe then even if we wouldn't classify her as a bimbo,
41:31
Speaker 1: there was still like some bimbo practices if you will,
41:35
Speaker 1: just to survive yesty. Yes, yeah, I think that this
41:40
Speaker 1: is a thing right when sometimes women we talk about
41:44
Speaker 1: like playing dumb or playing like we don't know. Oh help,
41:48
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know. I I tell her onto my
41:54
Speaker 1: partner all the time. He's like, aren't you a strong
41:56
Speaker 1: independent woman? And I literally tell him, no, I'm not.
41:59
Speaker 1: And I'm like, obviously I know that I am and
42:01
Speaker 1: I can do whatever, blah blah blah, but like, please
42:04
Speaker 1: just open this jar for me, you know what I mean, Like,
42:07
Speaker 1: please just move this item for me, Like just do it. Like, no,
42:12
Speaker 1: I'm not help me, help, Yeah, exactly, I need a
42:17
Speaker 1: lot of help and I'm very incapable. I don't want
42:22
Speaker 1: anyone to think that I'm more than a pretty face
42:24
Speaker 1: because they want you to do things well. And so
42:27
Speaker 1: this is the layer that we wanted to discuss for
42:29
Speaker 1: this episode in particular, is like our women actually bimbos
42:36
Speaker 1: or do we just want you to think that we're
42:41
Speaker 1: dumb and not know what we're doing because we don't
42:43
Speaker 1: want to do free work for you, like free labor
42:48
Speaker 1: on like and however you wanted to find that like
42:50
Speaker 1: free labor emotionally, free labor, like physically, like we don't
42:54
Speaker 1: want to do ship for you. And so now like
42:57
Speaker 1: and part of what inspired this episode two is like
43:01
Speaker 1: the girl Boss is dead, like the girl Boss Like
43:05
Speaker 1: that's like the conversation that's happening now and we're in
43:08
Speaker 1: the era of resting and what does resting mean? Like
43:11
Speaker 1: we're going to do what we want and lounge and
43:15
Speaker 1: not do free work. The free work is done, Yeah,
43:18
Speaker 1: because we're too busy doing our own free work for ourselves.
43:22
Speaker 1: We're not doing free work for you. We don't have time.
43:25
Speaker 1: We're already doing a lot of unveaid labor. There's just
43:28
Speaker 1: no room on the schedule. I'm with that and with that,
43:34
Speaker 1: and I'm also look, I've been watching Love is Blind, right,
43:39
Speaker 1: and there's this one couple on there where every time
43:43
Speaker 1: the man gets asked, what do you like about her?
43:46
Speaker 1: This is Jared. I I know where this is going,
43:49
Speaker 1: and I have no I'm not even watching the show, right.
43:52
Speaker 1: Everybody that asks him when he meets her family, what
43:55
Speaker 1: do you like about Ayana? And he says her resilience.
43:58
Speaker 1: She's so resilient. She's so resilient. She's just so strong.
44:02
Speaker 1: She's just you know, bad things have happened to her
44:05
Speaker 1: and she just picks herself up. But that is the
44:07
Speaker 1: only answer he has given in every episode so far
44:11
Speaker 1: this season, we're what five episodes out. They keep asking
44:14
Speaker 1: him what they like about her. The only thing he
44:16
Speaker 1: will say is resilient. Sometimes it's like, Okay, no, I
44:19
Speaker 1: want you to think that I'm fragile and weak because
44:22
Speaker 1: you're not going to put me through anything. I don't
44:23
Speaker 1: want you to think that I'm resilient. I don't want
44:25
Speaker 1: you to think that I can overcome any I cannot overcome.
44:29
Speaker 1: Don't put me through anything. I am done over because
44:31
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do it. I saw this. I
44:34
Speaker 1: saw this meme that was like it was like a
44:36
Speaker 1: text post, and it was like, if I go through
44:38
Speaker 1: any more character development, I'm going to develop into a villain.
44:42
Speaker 1: I was like when I saw that, I was like,
44:45
Speaker 1: literally fucking same. Not put me through any more growth
44:48
Speaker 1: because I'm gonna snap, like I will become the villain.
44:52
Speaker 1: Enough is enough, I hear you, I hear you. Yes,
44:55
Speaker 1: It's like I just want to be treated gently and
44:58
Speaker 1: kindly and that is all. Yes, my sister says, like
45:02
Speaker 1: to be treated like glass. Yes, and that's the one.
45:06
Speaker 1: I'm a bimbo made of glass. So so let's talk
45:10
Speaker 1: about that because I'm sure that this topic could probably
45:13
Speaker 1: make like some folks uncomfortable. Right because one of the
45:16
Speaker 1: articles that I was reading, which is this Vice article
45:18
Speaker 1: that we will link in the show notes and the
45:21
Speaker 1: title is bimbification is taking over What does that mean
45:26
Speaker 1: for you and so and so the one of the
45:33
Speaker 1: folks that they talked to. Um, she says that people
45:37
Speaker 1: tell her that she's putting feminism back by fifty years,
45:40
Speaker 1: like she's she's like ruining it. Women have worked so hard,
45:44
Speaker 1: they've broken allegedly the glass ceiling, blah blah blah, all
45:47
Speaker 1: that stuff. And so what she says, and I'm going
45:50
Speaker 1: to read the starct quote, I'm saying, maybe, instead of
45:53
Speaker 1: dedicating our time to people who want to misunderstand us
45:56
Speaker 1: no matter what we say or how we explain it,
45:58
Speaker 1: why don't we just let them and let the results
46:01
Speaker 1: at the end prove everything. Bimboism says, you don't have
46:06
Speaker 1: to be unintelligent to choose happiness. You just need to
46:09
Speaker 1: focus on thinking about things that actually matter, like community,
46:12
Speaker 1: setting an example, and building others up, which can only
46:15
Speaker 1: be achieved by building yourself up to the point where
46:18
Speaker 1: you aren't plagued by anxieties, whether you are liked or loved,
46:21
Speaker 1: whether you said the wrong thing, whether you are enough.
46:23
Speaker 1: Bimbos say, who cares? I I mean that sounds like
46:28
Speaker 1: an ideology. We can all get behind this, and Satanism
46:35
Speaker 1: church that we loved every point we were like, yes,
46:38
Speaker 1: are we Satanists. I think we're Satanists and bimbo we
46:42
Speaker 1: are Satanist bimbos. That's it. Oh my god, our poor fathers,
46:48
Speaker 1: our mothers, mothers, so and then I want this article
46:56
Speaker 1: is so great, y'all. And I feel like, if you
46:57
Speaker 1: want to learn more about like what folks are saying abo, bimboism,
47:00
Speaker 1: and mainly like the children, like the gen z er is,
47:03
Speaker 1: there are young adults, the young adults, what they're saying, Yes, um, well,
47:07
Speaker 1: girl bust. Feminism says I may be a girl, but
47:09
Speaker 1: I can climb the status quos ladder and succeed in
47:12
Speaker 1: capitalism just like any other man. Meanwhile, bimboism says I'm
47:17
Speaker 1: literally just here to vibe. Either vibe with me or
47:19
Speaker 1: leave me alone. That's so real, and I feel like
47:23
Speaker 1: that's an alignment with our lives. We're very much grinding
47:27
Speaker 1: but also vibing. Yes, But the pod casting with everything
47:32
Speaker 1: else that we do, it's like if you don't get it,
47:35
Speaker 1: you gotta get out of the way. You don't get it.
47:38
Speaker 1: It's like that other viral, like the girls they get
47:40
Speaker 1: it get it, and the girls that don't don't yeah,
47:44
Speaker 1: that's just what it is. That's just what it is.
47:46
Speaker 1: And mind you, like, I am also just blown away
47:49
Speaker 1: by how much TikTok has in from this episode, because
47:51
Speaker 1: like we're like barely on tikto not on TikTok, but
47:55
Speaker 1: it's already influencing so much of our lives. Okay, well
47:58
Speaker 1: let me just share. Let me just share that the
48:01
Speaker 1: reason I found this was because it was through Instagram
48:04
Speaker 1: because Vice posted the article which led me to the Tigdong.
48:07
Speaker 1: So I'm still very much on i G you know,
48:10
Speaker 1: you know, but that, but this article was very much
48:13
Speaker 1: informed by TikTok and what what the girls are saying,
48:17
Speaker 1: what the bimbos are saying on TikTok. And something to
48:20
Speaker 1: add to is like what I've seen in this conversation
48:23
Speaker 1: is that bimbos are also like can be of any gender.
48:26
Speaker 1: And when I was talking to our our makeup artist, Robert,
48:29
Speaker 1: I was telling Robert about this episode and Robert was like, well,
48:32
Speaker 1: I'm a bimbo, like I self identify as a bimbo,
48:35
Speaker 1: and what we'll bring him on eventually to like talk
48:38
Speaker 1: about his own bimboisms, but he's very much like I
48:42
Speaker 1: want to look hot and I do my makeup and
48:44
Speaker 1: I'm very smart, but I'm just not going to give
48:48
Speaker 1: you access to that. No. And Robert, You're gonna see
48:51
Speaker 1: a lot more of Robert this season season six. I mean,
48:54
Speaker 1: starting with our pro amount, you're going to see more
48:57
Speaker 1: of Robert. So look out, look up. Um. And then
49:03
Speaker 1: you know, there's just been a lot of great like
49:05
Speaker 1: think pieces about like bimbos um and there's like another
49:10
Speaker 1: one by Refinery twenty nine. Um. And I want to
49:14
Speaker 1: read this because I think this really informs like what
49:17
Speaker 1: we believe at lok Um. Bimbification made its Internet debut
49:22
Speaker 1: in the early adds as a controversial kink that eroticized
49:25
Speaker 1: the transition from smart and modest to air headed and hot.
49:29
Speaker 1: Then misogynists took a piece of erotic bimbo fan art
49:33
Speaker 1: and flipped it to mourn the loss of the so
49:35
Speaker 1: called smart, modest woman. It's a familiar in cell cry.
49:39
Speaker 1: Society is spiraling out of control now that hot women
49:42
Speaker 1: have the power to reject them. When bemification is no
49:45
Speaker 1: longer anchored in the fetish scene, people are once again
49:48
Speaker 1: craving bemification, only this time for themselves. Fascinating, There's something
49:55
Speaker 1: here y'all there really is. Okay, you remember that mean
49:58
Speaker 1: where it's like it's like that evolution of man. Is
50:02
Speaker 1: that what they're talking about? Describe it? So that meme
50:06
Speaker 1: that's like a plan the evolution of man where you
50:08
Speaker 1: have like a girl in a hoodie and a backpack
50:12
Speaker 1: and she's very dressed down reading a book, has glasses,
50:16
Speaker 1: and then they draw different iterations of that girl and
50:19
Speaker 1: slowly she becomes visually like sluttier bot. She loses the book,
50:26
Speaker 1: loses the glasses, loses the hoodie, loses the jeans. She's
50:28
Speaker 1: wearing like a tight pink you know, like micro dress,
50:33
Speaker 1: and like what would be called stripper heels, blonde hair, notebook,
50:39
Speaker 1: huge tits, nips showing basically, And so a bunch of
50:44
Speaker 1: people online I remember that meme has become like okay,
50:49
Speaker 1: no goals, Yes, that meme has become this was what
50:53
Speaker 1: happened to me after college. Thank god, I've reached my
50:56
Speaker 1: final form. Yes, yeah, So I guess this piece, like
50:59
Speaker 1: a originated in the King community. And let me just say,
51:03
Speaker 1: the King community is constantly informing like what we see
51:06
Speaker 1: in like queer culture, feminist practices, like all of that,
51:10
Speaker 1: and so this print or this piece of art um
51:14
Speaker 1: that was taken and turned into like a meme by
51:16
Speaker 1: like in cells, originated in the king community, and then
51:20
Speaker 1: a lot of us like took power, like you're saying
51:22
Speaker 1: like from it, like yeah goals, like yeah, that doesn't
51:25
Speaker 1: happen to me, like when I got my relationship, you know,
51:29
Speaker 1: all those things. So we're here for the bimbos, And
51:33
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it has to do with access,
51:36
Speaker 1: like who are you giving access to, like your full
51:40
Speaker 1: self and who are you just like letting see like
51:44
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty face? True, also very true, I think
51:49
Speaker 1: to like in the age of the Internet, where you're
51:51
Speaker 1: like constantly there's pressure to be super vulnerable to strangers
51:56
Speaker 1: all the time every day, you know, when it's like actually,
51:59
Speaker 1: I don't know you and don't know me, and you
52:00
Speaker 1: don't need to know anything about my live facts. But
52:03
Speaker 1: you could see the pretty stuff. Yeah, you could see
52:06
Speaker 1: the bimbo ification and that's it, and that's it, and
52:10
Speaker 1: that's it. I love it. In defensive bimbos, we're here
52:13
Speaker 1: for them, We're here for bimbo culture. Hell yeah, we're
52:17
Speaker 1: here for bimbos that are pro sex worker, pro black
52:21
Speaker 1: lives Matter, pro everything, pro choice, pro choice. And here's
52:26
Speaker 1: the thing that the idea that one today with something
52:30
Speaker 1: like this bimbo ifaication can be setting us back fifty years.
52:33
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, but we're still fighting some of the
52:35
Speaker 1: same battles we were fighting fifty years ago, like book
52:39
Speaker 1: bannings Um, the right to choose like is being argued
52:43
Speaker 1: like at the federal level again again. So yeah, exactly,
52:47
Speaker 1: we're having the same conversation, the same conversation battling the
52:51
Speaker 1: same second battles, so we might as well still be
52:56
Speaker 1: doing this. Basically, it's we're tired of thinking. It's true
53:02
Speaker 1: that No. I think there's just a lot of there's
53:05
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure to like always say something profound
53:10
Speaker 1: and thoughtful and like contribute to the discourse when actually,
53:16
Speaker 1: like we can just pass the mic and like uplift
53:19
Speaker 1: what people are saying already and like we ourselves don't
53:23
Speaker 1: have to say everything. And I think that's partly like
53:27
Speaker 1: we've made our dues, y'all, Like weren't season six, like
53:30
Speaker 1: you like, if you want to go back to the
53:32
Speaker 1: really nitty gritty heavy discourse, they go to the earlier seasons.
53:35
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you're not going to get anything like
53:37
Speaker 1: super deep and profound now. But it's like we can
53:40
Speaker 1: talk about bimbos and we don't also don't have to
53:43
Speaker 1: talk about every single thing that's important because it's literally impossible.
53:47
Speaker 1: We also were having this conversation. We weren't using the
53:50
Speaker 1: term bimbo, but in early episodes we were talking about
53:53
Speaker 1: just this, you know, about the the fem as valid
54:00
Speaker 1: and femininity is valid, and the science behind it, the
54:04
Speaker 1: technology behind it, the performance, the ritual, all of it.
54:08
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I would argue that like our
54:11
Speaker 1: what is it three like core episodes fem Tech, Multidimensional
54:15
Speaker 1: Home and Goddess Worship. Our combination of bembification and what
54:20
Speaker 1: folks are calling bemification, we've already defined it in our
54:23
Speaker 1: own terms under the look audio verse. We predate TikTok.
54:29
Speaker 1: Just remember that. Remember that, And I think that because
54:34
Speaker 1: there's evolution to things, right, like even like that's why
54:38
Speaker 1: folks go and get their PhDs and like continue on
54:41
Speaker 1: discourse and to write and they have their dissertations. Like
54:45
Speaker 1: for example, before us like kim Alan had fem science right,
54:50
Speaker 1: and then Loba has I would lead the knowledge. You know,
54:53
Speaker 1: we're all like creating these different terms for our own
54:57
Speaker 1: communities and our own definition of them as well. So
55:02
Speaker 1: much to say. I mean, we were talking about a
55:04
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff also when we were being invited
55:06
Speaker 1: to universities. Um, we're this more kind of discursive conversations, Yes,
55:14
Speaker 1: if you will. But you know, these days we're making content.
55:18
Speaker 1: You know, we're podcasting, we're trying to feed the algorithm.
55:21
Speaker 1: We're trying to keep keep things up and get content
55:25
Speaker 1: out for you guys. And honestly, like there's also like
55:29
Speaker 1: just so much going on in the world. There's pop culture,
55:31
Speaker 1: there's current events, and we want to be able to
55:34
