Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Everything celebrity. Sauce has her entertainment apart.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Which you have for us.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
So yesshare were talking about how Ariana Grande did that
Q and A and how she was saying that when
she does stop touring performing live, she will do a
farewell tour. Looks like that's probably going to be next year.
So next year the Eternal Sunshine Tour will be her last,
what she says, for a very.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Long, long long time.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
So following Wicked for Good, she will appear in the
Meet the Fokker sequel Falker in Law, which is coming
out next thing to giving. She also is doing that
musical adaptation of the Doctor Seuss book Oh the Places
Will Go, which I think sounds so cold, and she's
going to rejoin director jonaman Chow for that twenty twenty
eight release. So basically she was saying that her full
time acting plans.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
She's been wanting to do that.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
She said, quote the last ten or fifteen years were
very different than the ones that are coming up. I'm
very excited for this small tour, but I think it
might not happen again.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
For a long, long long time. I'm like one last.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
For Also, there we go Eminem takes his branding seriously,
and me as eminem, I feel like he takes a
lot of things seriously. So he is going after Australian
beach company called swim Shady.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
That's a funny name though.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
V then filed a position with the US Patent Office
asking them to cancel swim Shady's US trademark, so he
thinks of the name could lead the public to believe
that he's associated with the company, which I do think
that makes sense pretty close. Swim Shady, though, is not
rolling over the company, says quote, swim Shady is a
grass grass roots Australian company that was born to protect
people from the harsh Australian sum. We will defend our

(01:33):
valuable intellectual properties unquote. So basically the company sells beach
umbrella's cowls, swim bags and shorts.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
So interesting, I mean, sweets.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Through season four is selling tho oc has everyone buzzing
about seeking dot com because.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
You speak speaking arrangements.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Got yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
So one of the castmates, Ashton, was hit with claims
that she met her husband Jeff on that Sugar Daddy website.
So the chatter ended up boosting traffic a lot traffic
the company is saying that they're seeing such a surge
of women from hotspots like Los Angeles, Miami, New York
City and despite the heights of the platform, says it
it's sugar Daddy passed back in twenty twenty two and

(02:11):
it no longer endorses sugar dating and shifted to a
more polished lux vibe.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
So, but yeah, Ashton had an account back then.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
And then they said that they also cannot confirmed Orny
that she has one, but they're saying that they're not
taking a side, and but she did, but.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
She did so for they're saying, I can't comment, but
she did.

Speaker 3 (02:33):

Speaker 4 (02:59):
To ruin the whole company.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Funt un done.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh no, it's definitely a love story of make it
kells itself.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Absolutely, she's lovely. Thanks saus.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
If it needs someone to listen to you, I Got
your thoughts. Shower podcasts out how to know if you
are a catch You can check at y Miss radio
dot com. We have documented thoroughly the decline of dating
apps on the show over the past couple of years.
Started off really good, then they started out the paywalls,
and then people just kind of really stopped taking seriously.
Tender is now pushing offline features and events because of

(03:28):
decline people using the.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
App okay, which is interesting.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Same so they say.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
In the most recent core they reported nine point two
million pain users, which is a seven percent year of
year slide. Revenue foul three percent of four hundred and
ninety one million dollars, which is crazy.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
They say.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
The monthly active users are dropped from roughly eighteen million
in early twenty twenty two to about eleven million this quarter.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
And it's not because they found love.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I mean, I think the dating apps much like the
anti virus software back in the day. They want to
let some anti virus insane to get like malware in
your computer, but just enough. So it seems like they're
doing good job, you know what I'm saying. So against
that they're leading heavily into real world engagement. So they're
doing like large scale events. They started on a UCLA
were based it was like a giant music festival type
of a vibe and they're using partnerships and social media

(04:15):
promotion and encourage students to download the app to access
the event details during the pandemic. That they're a really
cool thing. I remember you and I both did at
Sauce where it was like the choose your on a
venture thing.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Oh yeah, I loved that.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
I thought that was cool, even though I that's the
only time I ever used hinder. Yeah, it was ironic,
glad I didn't ever date anyway from it.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
It was during the pandemic, and that the shoes you
mentioned was a zombie pandemic, which is kind of ironic.
So it's legit, like you followed that your character. It's
like do you want to run into gas station or
run home? Then you swipe, and that was based on
like how you would match people.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Basically, it's like, are you gonna grab like first snacker
grabbing the flame, not Cheetos or Die Cooke.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, which was like kind of like a fun, little
different way of doing it.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
So they're saying that they've noticed there's a large amount
of people have had fatigue on the apps yeah, and
are burned out. Yeah, I would say I didn't pay
one also makes it not great. So they're saying that
their move they moved to like the college mode. They
also try the double date mode, which we're gonna try that. Yeah,
I've then done that though it.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Just been adding a lot.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I feel like I've been seeing specifically in DC a
lot more, a lot of singles parties. I've just been
seeing them left and right lately and not and that
was not nearly as common. Also, I remember when I
lived in Georgia, the Bumble would have these uh this
dog there was a dog. We used to have a
similar one like whatever it was called one here, but

(05:33):
there's a dog place and they would have these big meetups.
They're dogs, so and it was like sponsored by Bumble
and they would have like a Bumble thing like for singles.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, we did your speed dating event.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I think people had much more fun there for the
two hours of that than they would two hours on
the app, because at least it's like, oh, these people
showed up, so they're actually looking to find.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Yeah, you're doing the work, just again in the door.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
They say dating has become this thing that for many
people it felt like work. Yeah, and meeting people should
actually be fun.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
It's just not fun anymore.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It's legitious like sort.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
It's almost like how I'm explained dating apps because you
have the same conversation all over. It's like you're calling
customer service and they keep transferring different department and you
restart your story every time. Yes, that's really it's like
you can transfer and it's like, Okay.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I just changed a lot. And I was trying to
explain this to my aunt the other day when we
were at lunch. She said that her someone she knows
met somebody on hinge, and I said, it's just it's
I mean that obviously that happens, clearly, but it's just
changed a lot, and you have to spend money now
to meet the people in your area. And even when
you spend that money, you're still maybe behind a paywall
for other people, un though you're probably just not necessarily

(06:35):
going to meet maybe your person, not just that it's
it's just a whole game. At this point, I told
you I want you to delete the app.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
You popped up my hand. I was like, you, but
you're behind the paywall, so you don't know. So on
Hinge like they put the people that must have high
swipes like you like to them behind paywalls. So if
I wanted to message Sauce on the app, I had
to send her a digital.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Rose yeah, which I had to pay for.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yes, which I'd rather lay in traffic.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
And I was like, why am I getting matched with
all these people that are just not my Yea, uh,
it's not great.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah, it's not great.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
So we'll say they do it here again. I think
we should do the dating event again. That's a lot
of fun we'll put on the calendar. Speaking of dating,
let me hear this next for your Wednesday, how to
know a man's got mommy issues.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Give me about two and a half minutes.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Intern John in your morning show.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's true at iHeartRadio.
