Height Filters, Fake Jobs, and That Blake Lively Drama

In today’s wild scroll through the internet’s top stories, Nina breaks down Tinder’s latest update—a height filter that lets women exclude short kings from their swipe list. Was it an April Fool’s joke or a real feature? Turns out, it's both. Plus, the gang debates whether filtering by height is preference or pettiness.

Then there’s the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni legal battle, where things just took a dramatic turn. Nina unpacks the latest move: Blake’s attempt to withdraw emotional distress claims—after Baldoni’s team asked for her therapy records.

Finally, we head to China, where job-seekers can now pay $5 to pretend they have a job. No, seriously. For five bucks, you get a fake office, folders, even tasks to make your unemployment look like productivity.

Also: We settle a serious debate—is it called a manila folder… or vanilla?

This one’s a rollercoaster. Buckle up.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give us three minutes and we'll give you everything you
need to know for the day.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Stephanias was training.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
So Tinder is intentionally trying to help people connect, and
by doing so, they're bringing back an April Fool's prank
that is now a reality, and that is allowing women
to filter out short men on their dating apps.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Like having a height preference, like having a maxi and minimum.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
They were joking about having a height verification to make
people like really be a height that they claim to
be on dating apps, but now they're actually allowing you
to filter it. Apparently Hinge does this already. Did you
know that. I know you're on Hinge, right, Victoria? Yeah?
Here and there?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, okay, yeah, but I didn't know you could do that.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
So you can filter out the height and all that
kind of stuff and now maybe make it real.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Well, it's funny because the statistics already are that eighty
percent of all women on Tinder are only swiping right
on nine percent of the men on Tinder. Wow, so
this is going to make it even worse. But the
really good news for short guys is and I'm a
short guy, I'm five to eight. Good news for short
guys is all the women who care about silly things

(01:02):
like that and won't make good partners anyway, we swipe
you so you won't match.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
It'll be nice. I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
You know all of the stats about people's money, height
and all.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Yeah, no, I make most of it up. But at
the end of the day, I'm usually right.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Just nobody really.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Totally.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
It's literally my whole job.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Okay, there's an update in the Blake Lively justin Baldoni Kiss,
and that is that Blake is attempting to withdraw her
claims against him of intentional infliction of emotional emotional distress
and negligence. And that is because his lawyers were like, Okay, well,
we want you to sign a release that says that
we can go through and like look at all of
your notes from your therapist or when you were like

(01:52):
in the doctor's office or whatever where you're claiming that
you were distressed, so that they can prove it. So
now she's like, no, but we'll withdraw those claims.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's so bad. The thing so bad though, is.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
That if this hat does happen to women, and so like,
if she's it's not true, Yes, that's so bad because
it's literally like it actually happens, and now those men
aren't gonna come for us.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
That is.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
One of the major problems with people who claim things
that happened that didn't happen, is it takes away from
the people that really have to deal with stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Well, and they know that though, and it's believable, So
that's why they use that as the crutch.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
To hide find But then, do we know for a
fact that, like all this didn't happen with her, We.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Don't know anything for a fact. We don't know anything
for a fact. These are all reports.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Her and Ryan Reynolds do not look good in this
whole thing.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
It's just that every time receipts are asked for from
either side, Baldoni's side provides them every time, and the
other side.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Goes, yeah, the other side doesn't want to Baldoni's like,
I mean, Valdoni did a whole website, was like here's everything.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, check it out.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
He doesn't have anything to hide Yang, you know. So
we'll keep watching to see how this plays out. But
there's where she's bading. This is interesting. In China, you
can actually go and pay five dollars to pretend that
you have a job. What So the reason for this
is to help people, to help people not have to
explain why they're in between jobs.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
So you tell people that you know that you're going
to your job. Yes, so there's a place that you go.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
You pay five dollars to an office and then they
give you like all types of like files and paperwork.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
If somebody asks.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
You for receipts, so you're like, yeah, you look, I'm
working today. This is what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I have a file folder with me. Of course I
have a job. Even assign filefolder. They even assign you
fake tasks.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
So if anybody asks you're good, you got excuses.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
I like, how you pay five dollars to have someone
give you tasks versus just either A going to Starbucks
and going on your computer or B buying a vanilla
folder at like Ovis depot and going back home being like, look,
I am working, Like.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Did you call it a vanilla folder? They're called manila
or his mind is I know called vanilla folders.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
It's like vanilla wafers.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Like it's color, it's Manila is the name of it.
I don't know why it's called, but I think vanilla folder.
This is a better day, so they would know you
didn't have a job you like. Of course I do.
I have a vanilla folder on.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
It, you know, se my vanilla Poulder, the really important
stuff I use, Strawberry.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I'm sorry. I couldn't let that go. That's what's strenthy.
That's crazy.
