Wicked Radio 6-26: Cancel July 4th?! Double Down On Patriotism, & Bernie Burned On Rogan · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: For you.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Live stream ogs a little bit late, a little bit delayed,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: but nothing, nothing stops the Wicked radio live stream except
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: maybe when there's a slow news day, but that's literally
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: never happened, not yet. There's always something to talk about,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and not even what sounds like fireworks M eighty's and
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: possibly dynamite going off outside my house, the hazards of
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: a home studio, but we all have them these days.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Speaking of home studios, I've got a little bit of
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: news to talk about with Joe Rogan. I will say
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: it the great Joe Rogan because he is a major
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: player in changing the media landscape forever. And after what
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: happened yesterday with Bernie Sanders on Joe Rogan, but a
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: little clip of that for you, you may never have
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a traditional politician on a podcast ever again. That's like that,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that'll actually ask real questions because Bernie filled the burn,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: he felt the burn au right, and it was now
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: you know why Harris never wanted to go on that program.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: That's exactly why we'll talk about that. And speaking of fireworks,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: by the way, a call to cancel the fourth of July,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I think not no. The result of this is and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: this is what we should all do. You should double
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: down on patriotism now that this thing is growing on.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Guess where. Guess where all bad ideas come from. That's right, TikTok,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But it's okay. Don't think that all the kids are
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: screwed up. Yet another story about the kids, that being
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: gen Z being all right two point zero. Another one.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Remember we had that story last week that they don't
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: drink it all. They're more into like healthy things. Gen Z,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: not millennials, gen Z kids in their early twenties and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: up a little bit. They're not going on stating apps,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: so says Bumble. They're meeting people again their traditional way
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: in social settings. That's a pretty good sign. Anyway, let's
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: get to it. Thanks for finding me. I appreciate it
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: despite all the challenges today. Technically it's the Wicked Radio
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: live stream all part of Wicked Wisdom with Bill Adams,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: all the social media channels. By the way, that audio
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: podcast where you're here, all this rumbling in the background,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that's always available to you wherever you like to get
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: your audio podcasts any platform, right there, and if you
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: are watching on the live stream a little bit later
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: on and or the replay whatever it is thanks for
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the follows and shares, they appreciate that. And then on
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the audio podcast, by the way, you got to download
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: there and put your notifications on for when there's a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: new podcast available, which is pretty much every single day.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Let's get right to it. Thanks for finding me again,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: all right? Why is the new media taking over things
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: like this what we just had yesterday? I won't play
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the whole thing obviously, because Joe Rogan goes like three
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and a half four hours. Sometimes we all ask the question,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: remember late, go back a few months, oh my god,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: five months now, six months into last year and the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: immediate after effects of the campaign of twenty four. In
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the presidential campaign, there was a big effort to get
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and the invite was out to go on
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Joe Rogan, the biggest platform in social media in this
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: new media we always talk about, and she didn't do it,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and everybody knew why. It's because she was gonna get
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: exposed because she's a dope, and she couldn't answer questions.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: She wouldn't be able to sit for three and a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: half four hours whatever it would be, didn't agree to
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: all the terms. And now you know why. Now, first
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: of all, let me give him credit, Bernie Sanders burning
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: but burn he went on Rogan good. First of all,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: congratulate good for you for doing that, for sitting down
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and answering real questions. But the second thing was, whoever
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: put him on there did him no favors. And I
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: think the after effects of this going forward is you're
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: never gonna see any politician. This includes people on the
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: right to this includes conservatives too, who will go on
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: any platform in new media, the new information age and
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: answer real questions. I don't think it's ever gonna happen
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: because this did not go well for Bernie at all,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: because Joe, God love him, asked him real questions. This
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to me was the interesting part. He asked him about
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the Kamala Harris sixty minutes interview issuing CBS and this
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: big settlement on the way and all that good stuff.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Joe fact checked Bernie relentlessly when Bernie was trying to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: tell him sixty minutes it's a very legitimate news sauce
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: they have stole the credibility. Joe wasn't having it, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: God love him for that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: You know they're not infallible, but I think you look
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: at most objective. People will say sixty minutes has a
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: sterling reputation for investigative journalism. Are they wrong?
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: But that's not investigative journalism. If you change someone's answers,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: if you ask her a question and she comes with
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: a rambling answer that doesn't make sense, and you edit
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: that out and insert another answer to a different question
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: that seems more coaching.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Joe, then you're walking down it's a really you're walking
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: down a dangerous path. Suing media.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Then Bernie got into suing media is a very dangerous thing.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Then you're intimidating the media, which is what Trump does
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: all the time. And he done you know it to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: typical Bernie thing right on all topics discussed yesterday during
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: this thing, and I listened to a lot of it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: He would not let him get away with anything. Believe
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: me when I tell you every politician that's out there
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: that is afraidrade, or is hiding something that really doesn't
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: believe in what they're saying, or is just absolutely full
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: of crap and just pushing an agenda, they're not gonna
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: go on this new media format. They're gonna stick with
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: this traditional, old legacy lying propaganda. Media don't have a
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: free press. We don't. That's why all new media popped up.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: They're gonna stick with what they know and love where
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: they are safe. Funny as it seems, and as luck
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: would have it, the very same day that Bernie was
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: taping this interview with Joe Rogan, yesterday, we had Jamal
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Bowman on CNN. Let me give you a little refresher here.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I forgot too. I'm like Bowman. That's the guy. Oh yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: that's that Core. That's that congressman that pulled the fire alarm.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Remember that to stop a vote in the House last year.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He pulled the fire alarm to delay this thing. This
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: is him, This is the same guy. He starts talking
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: about race relations needs to and he's saying that because
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of the Republicans that were on the penalty saying, you people,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you know, because you fail to address race relations and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: all this other stuff. And listen to this doozy he
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: comes out with. He rambles on so much that he
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: actually came up with the fact that he related the
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: health crisis in the black community to the way Republicans
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: handle it and what they call them and because of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: race relations. My point is on CNN, nobody even except
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: for one guy. Nobody even fact checked him on this,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Nobody pushed back on it because it's CNN. If he
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: was on this, if he was on Joe Rogan, you
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: think you get away with it. Listen to this, not
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: about this. I'm a black man in America. The reason
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: why heart Listen to what I'm saying.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: The reason why heart disease and cancer and diabetes are
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: bigger in.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: The black community is because of distress we carry from
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: having to deal with being called the N word directly
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: or indirectly every day.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: If now the poor guy I don't know who the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: guy who else on the panel he was trying to say,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I can't comment on that because I'm white. I can't.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I can't really Now he was the only guy, if
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you want to call it pushing back, host, moderator, news editor, producer,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the network itself no pushback whatsoever. Now, imagine if Jamal
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Bowman had tried to say that, if he dared to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: go on like a Joe Rogan show. Can you imagine
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: him trying to say that and get away with it.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: He would have been absolutely humiliated for saying something that stupid.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: That's why they'll still go on CNN MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. That's where that's going to continue to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: live while they have their dwindling but still propagandized audience
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: who follows that stuff. But my point being, any buddy,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: every politician in this country looked at the Rogan interview,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and the good ones who will stand by what they
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: say and aren't afraid to ask questions, they will skyrocket
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: to the top by going on new media outlets like
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Rogan because we're talking about him today. The ones like
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Jabal Bowman, who are full of crap, they'll stick with
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: traditional media. And that's where we are speaking of a traditional
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: media boy. TikTok is becoming one of those new media outlets.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Love it or hate it, whatever it is. Here's what's undeniable.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Let's be adults about this. Admit this TikTok is massive.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: It is absolutely huge. And I know this personally because
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I now I've said this before, I've got my kids
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: about I call it eighty six point five percent out
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of the woke mind virus, almost almost there and rising
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: by the way. We're doing well. But they, like everybody
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: else in gen Z, are big TikTok followers. What this
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: means is they get their information from this source. A
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: lot of things happen for a lot of the remember
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: the No Kings protest mostly organized through social media, mainly
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: on TikTok. Well, there's a new trend on TikTok TikTok
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: that's developing. It's so laughable. I just you know, it
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: does make me laugh. But again a lot of people
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: will try to follow it. The idea is, as we're here,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: what a week and a day outside of July fourth holiday,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the Great American Holiday, America's birthday, which by the way,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: is on a Friday this year, which is gonna be awesome.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a great Fourth of July holiday. There's
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: a growing trend on TikTok to cancel the fourth of July. Now,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: there are thousands, literally thousands of videos just like this
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: girl on here. I just cherry picked one. I went
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: on there and I said, give me one cancel. Oh
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: there they are trending. It's like top three trending. Okay,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: well here's one and they all say the same thing,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: which is how the other clue on? How you know
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: what this is propaganda? Here's one girl talking.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: About Okay, so we can all collectively agree that we
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: are not celebrating July fourth, right, as a matter of fact,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: we should be boycotting indefinitely, because what are we really
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: celebrating besides the genocidal conception of the United States of America.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: They were all experts, you know exactly where they got it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: They got it from other TikTok people, They got it
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: from schools. Sadly, we've certainly talked about that a lot.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: They've gotten from even this mainstream media. Right, even that
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: CNN program we were just talking about that panel, they
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: would agree with her hook line and sinker. Absolutely, they
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: would push that as well. Now here's the after effect
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: in media, though. Let's go to another network, and boy,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: we're talking about a lot of them today. Let's go
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: to something that happened. Well it's quite a few days
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: ago now, but I was interested in the backlash to
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: see how it went for her. It is a little
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: bit long, but you got to hear the pause because
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it's part of the story. This is all part of
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: this anti American trend that they think is going to work,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: but it's gonna have the opposite effect. We'll get to
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: that in a second. So there was a WNBA game
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: on ESPN last weekend. I think I don't know, it
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: was a few days ago. Anyway, you might have seen
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: this already. But now put this in context with this
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: growing social media trend. Woe, we're going to cancel the
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: fourth of July. So Rebecca Lobo, who is a great
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: basketball player herself, now she's a commentator on ESPN for
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the WNBA games. In the middle of it, she's talking
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: about a ref dispute, just a bad call, whatever it
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: is that she disagreed with. Well, she made the ultimate
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: sin of saying that I disagree. That's you know, we
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: can do that in this country.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: This was met with a disparaging silence. And you know
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: there are producers and directors from ESPN in her headphone saying,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: doune something about that. Don't her, don't let her say
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: America's great, don't do that. It really happened. I'm not exaggerating.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: You'll hear it here in just a couple of seconds
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: for yourself. This is why you never ever, ever apologize
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: for being patriotic. So this is Rebecca Lobo. It's long.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: You'll hear the silence here because it's part of the story.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: This is when she said America is great and immediately
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: had to apologize. Don't ever apologize. But they disagree with you.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: They do, and I disagree with that, and that's fine.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: That's what makes America great, right, pat Mark, And she
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: now just going to the sideline reporter and keeping the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: pause in there. Listen, I should rephrase that, yes, but yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I did. Opinion are perfectly Yes, that's a better way
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: to say, sorry about that. Sorry, what do you mean you? Sorry?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: And shame on her for apologizing. I know she was
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: under a lot of pressure. That's what makes America great,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: was her comment. She throws it to the other sideline reporter.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Isn't that right? The delay, the delay, because because the
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: sideline reporter didn't want to respond, she didn't want to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: be hooked into this, you know, cancel culture, delay, delay, delay,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: until finally it gets so bad and so uncomfortable. Rebecca
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Lobo goes, I should rephrase that. Her on air partner goes, yes, oh, yes,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: you absolutely should. Don't say America is great. See the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: trend here where it's going. They want so badly and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: that worked like ESPN, which has just been awful and
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: ratings have been hurting since they decided to go all
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: woke about five years ago. See where it's going. Combine
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: that now with the TikTok trend of they're trying to
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: cancel the Fourth of July. Here's the response, because we
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: know how human nature works and this is something we
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: should grab onto. If that discuss you and it does
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: disgust me as a patriotic American, this is the answer
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: to that. This is the solution. Double down on your
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: patriotic efforts this coming next week, this coming fourth of July.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Double down on it. Get more patriotic, fire off more fireworks,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: get together with more friends, fly more flags, post morse
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: patriotic stuff. Double down on it to silence that nonsense,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: which I'm telling you, I don't even have to guess
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: it's going to happen, because that's how we respond to things.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: That's how patriotic Americans do respond to that kind of nonsense.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And you have to. And here's why patriotism is so important.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: This is going to be a current theme with me
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: anyway coming up for the Fourth of July holiday, because
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it's a sense of unity. It's the opposite of divide.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: The buzzword of the day is always diversity. The strength
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: in our diversity. It is diversity, sure, believe it or not.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I actually agree with that with one major caveat. As
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: long as all that diversity, all these people from different
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: areas wind up in unity for one cause and loving
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: this country. Without that sense of unity, diversity is toxic
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: as hell. In the word itself is divide. Without that
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: sense of diversity coming together for unity, you've got a
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: madness on your hands. And that's what these TikTok idiots
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: and the ESPN idiots and all the other people who
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: want to cause controversy coming up from next week's America
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Birthday want to do. So the answer to that, here's
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: your answer. Double down on your patriotism. More importantly, don't ever, ever,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: ever apologize for love in your country ever. But be
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: a little depressing because you think we tend to think
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, this is going on, this trend is
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: like you there's there's like a million people saying they're
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: gonna cancel the fourth of July. Don't let it fool you.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: That's not that's not where all of these people are.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: They love to speak for everybody else. Like in the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: video White Blade she said, Okay, we can all agree
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: that we're not going to celebrate the fourth of July
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: right now. They tend they think they're speaking for everybody,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: but they're not. Case in point, yet another example of
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: the kids being all right gen Z that is I'll
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: call this kids are all right two point zero. Last
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: week I had the story about gen Z kids just
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: not drinking. I mean, health wise, that's obviously better off
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: for you, but they're just not into it. So the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: alcohol industry is in a panic for kids in their twenties,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: and it is true, they just don't drink like millennials
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and certainly not Gen X or boomers. They just don't.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: They are to other things. It turns out the other
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: things are healthier things. Now we all have the we
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: all have the image of like kids in their two
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: when he's being on their phone all the time, right
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: and staying in and not doing anything. Not really that's
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: their older siblings. Those are more like the millennials who
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: are like the COVID kids. These gen Z kids, story
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: after story, study after study, are turning out to be
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: kind of kick ass. Here's another one to add on
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: to last week's story about them getting healthier for themselves. Now,
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: this one comes from the Daily Mail, I get it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: European outlets. So the study was the Social Survey was
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: talking about European kids. But that's okay, because if they're
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: getting better, you know, American kids are. Here's what they found.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: They did a story on the dating service Bumble. Right,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: that's one of them. This is what Bumble said. They
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: had to cut a third of its staff. Well, why
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: would that be. Isn't everybody online dating these days? Not them?
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Apparently not in large numbers, and it apparently holds true
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: for American kids. True gen z. These kids were talking
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: about were turning out to be kind of awesome. Check
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: this out. They've started to ditch online dating. Now, when
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I first read this headline, I said, oh god, oh no,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: they're turning out to be shut ins. They're just not
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: gonna have they're not gonna have social relations. No, I
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: was wrong. It's the opposite. They're ditching the online apps
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: because they're dating more in traditional ways, not bars so much,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: because they don't drink so much. This article in the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Daily Mail goes on to say gyms where they're meeting people, Okay,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: that's kind of kick ass. Coffee shops well, I'm sure
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that's the Starbucks kind of thing. Maybe even Dunkin too,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I get that, and social clubs of like hobbies. Okay,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: this is all like positive stuff. I can't find any
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: negative in this company. Behind the UK's and you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: third most popular dating app, I think it's even higher.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: In the US, reportedly told investors two hundred and forty
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: jobs could be cut because of lack of demand. Really,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: they're not the only one. Apps such as Bumble, Tinder,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and Hinge peaked during the pandemic, obviously around twenty twenty
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: when people couldn't go outside. Since then, the executive of
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the company says they're finding that young people are dating
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: in more traditional ways. Bumble lost three hundred and sixty
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: eight thousand users last year, and that's just in the
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: UK alone. Imagine what it is in the States. Every
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: time we have a story about these gen z kids,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: kids in their twenties, I got a couple of those.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I can speak to that too. They're kind of kick ass.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: This is kind of a great sign, So don't feel
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: bad when you see a social media trend popping up,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: like okay, we're all going to cancel the fourth of
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: July they're not all like that. They tend to the
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: ones that are out there and the far left fringe
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: of things. They tend to speak for other kids. It's
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: not them, So it's kind of awesome. My working assumption
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: theory on this is the gen Z kids in their
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: twenties got so frickin' freed up with the millennials, who
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: are the older ones, who their older siblings, people that
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: saw at work, you know, the cancel culture millennials, the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Wolke mob, the woke mind virus. They got so sick
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: of them that there was a counter effect, and they're
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: doing things the more traditional way. They're getting healthier, they're
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: getting stronger, they're eating better, they're getting more social, and
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: they're not drinking as much. I'll say it again. This
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: may be a continuing theme with us, but uh, I
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: feel good about them. The kids are all right, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: that's a good sign. Counter effect of the crap that
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: they went through, and the counter effect to all this
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: stuff you're gonna see online. We gotta cancel the fourth
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: of July next week. No, the counter effect of that
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: is say, screw you, We're doubling down on patriotism. That's
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: how you handle that. One all right. Thanks for hanging
