(00:00):
Hey guys, it's Sara G. It is Genz Gab.
(00:03):
Get into it.
I'm gonna preface this with I know that my lip looks like it's weirdly outline.
Maybe you'll notice it. Maybe you won't, depending on where you get your podcast streaming or podcast
big cast, which again, I was really hesitant a few nights ago if I was even gonna have a big cast
(00:27):
because my technology has been on and off. And again, I will mention this throughout the podcast,
but yeah, my um, my lip is getting a little bit of that like wind burn. So I was just noticing
again, I maybe, maybe not, but you know, last year when I was saying a few times that somebody
(00:51):
ventured on tiktok, oh, you look like you overlined your lip and it's really gross. Well,
nope, it is wind burn and I am trying really hard to get rid of it. But like I said, it will be
mentioned throughout this podcast that it is very cold in the Midwest right now. It is like below zero,
(01:11):
negative one chill. We are not going to very many places. I try to cover, I try to put, you know,
the people rev and all that stuff on me, the bag bomb, the aqua four. Yeah, it's just so cold and dry.
And yeah, so if anybody was going to comment that or I'm a big guy, or my eyebrows, I am not having
(01:32):
it today, just saying. And yeah, so as we talk about a lot of things, let's get right to it with
the pop culture. I mean, I'm going to talk about a lot of different things today on the podcast.
You already know that as a lot of people do who listen to this. Anyway, moving on, the wiz
(01:54):
reboot, the wizards reboot. And you know what the funny part is? I have over the last year kind of
been like, again, my childhood, my childhood, all of a sudden when you see that, you know, it's only
David Henry and Celine Gomez and then all the people who are trying to be like neutral or snarky,
but for a good reason. And again, there's a Taylor Swift feeling like that too. I think there's
(02:17):
sort of like a lot of us have just realized how old we're getting. And the fact of the matter is
though I will always defend the guy who plays Z because Dan Benson is cool, like regardless of
what he was also on, Rick and Morty, some other things. So it's like, I know, well, I know what
he's on. But like, that's not I don't see that, but I just meant we need Zeke coming, Mexico,
(02:42):
Mexico playing. Anyway, that was really bad, I, you know, but that was the thing. And yeah,
so it should be interesting. Yeah, I don't, I don't really know much more than that. But I
It just really sounds like it's Alex and Justin and Matt is not maybe, I don't know.
(03:06):
I don't know how to feel about it.
But what I do know is that if, you know, at least I hope Max is back.
I know Jake D'Alesson had some ups and downs, but it's like,
you gotta at least have Jerry and Theresa in the mix somehow.
I know everyone can say whatever about it, but it's like, ah, like I get it.
(03:29):
That it's like, I don't want a tool.
I get it.
Part of growing up is, you know, drifting apart from others.
But there's just like so much that felt like, you know, this reboot just doesn't,
I don't know how to feel about it.
Like a lot of things.
And I know I've also, you know, whatever.
Is anybody going to check though the Neds pod to see if they have a pulse,
(03:51):
like after the whole thing of every other show getting a reboot with them?
Because anybody checked in with them on that.
So yeah, there's that.
So as we, you know, move along and try to find some other things to talk about.
Because I know that there's like a never ending cycle in the news.
(04:13):
And you know, all these great other things it's hard to say.
Because it's like, I want to talk about this in the gossip,
but I also want to make sure that what I'm doing is an objective thing.
And also I don't want to be like just commenting, whatever.
But another thing that bothers me is that, you know, constantly I see and I'll talk
(04:36):
about this later probably, but the whole of them pick craze,
the whole chicken of the sea commercial that I keep seeing, by the way.
I know people are going to be whatever.
I didn't really know too much of Jessica Simpson in that era.
Again, TikTok kind of helped me see it all.
And I started to read.
But I'm starting to actually be genuinely concerned a little bit with how she looks.
(04:59):
And it's not me, but it's just like that.
There's so many eating disorder, eating disorder,
disorder, eating on the rise with how things are going.
Like I really hope.
And again, Michelle Trackenberg, who we all know as Georgina Sparks from Gossip Girl.
We all know her from, you know, the figure skating movie, which is Ice Princess.
(05:23):
We all might have seen her in Euro Trips.
Scotty doesn't know, you know.
Again, I watched a lot of weird stuff during the pandemic.
No shame.
But there's just a lot going on.
And I can't tell if it's buckle fat removal.
And I know that we should have learned from Chadwick Boseman,
but with the between the buckle fat removing, all the Botox and other stuff.
(05:47):
I'm just like genuinely curious because so many people look like across
between a junior coonie, which again, we should not be giving a platform.
Like girl really needs help.
And I'm not trying to bring on any big issue here by talking about it.
I'm just stating a fact that she needs help.
(06:09):
And she constantly goes, why, there's so many like layers and stuff.
Again, it's how I feel about like influencers pushing or exploiting like gypsy Rose.
Again, I would not trust her completely.
I just want her to go on and live her life.
I mean, look, I'm not standing by what she did.
I just thought that's my point.
(06:31):
There's like a lot of conversations going on around different things.
And I'm starting to feel a little like nerve wrecked.
But yeah, it's starting to look like Eugenia Cooney versus Isma.
And all I can think about again is the scene where, which I've said this
in other things, the scene where Isma puts like the cucumbers over her eyes and then
Cronk opens the door or whatever to their little 10 and goes, Isma, huh.
(06:57):
And she's like, I need my beauty sleep or something like that.
I really cannot do the impression very well of that woman because nobody can do what Earth
the Kid did.
Anyway, that's just yeah, I'll get on with other things, but I'm watching a lot of different
shows right now.
I mean, Tacoma FD, like I said, there's so many more good ones.
(07:18):
And I'm starting to notice more writers.
So I want to give a shout out to all the writers because right now there's so much going on
with all of those things.
I mean, like, have you seen also separately just a thing I want to talk about quick with
casting network, et cetera.
I'm just going to say this quick.
I'm not going to get too much into it because of all the uproar that people can have or whatever.
(07:43):
But I want to say one thing.
I am grateful for the actors that are speaking up for Palestine.
I am proud of the actors who are still bringing awareness.
And even though they lost their job, which they shouldn't, like Sada Ramirez should not,
(08:04):
they should not have lost their job in the new Sex and the City revival just like that.
Ndakche was not my favorite character, no, sorry, but it's very convenient what is going on there.
Melissa Barera, she lost her job because of Scream 7 and her talking about it.
(08:24):
And she should not have been.
Okay.
That's it.
Similar to kind of, well, actually she's not losing her job, but even hearing Jenna
Ortega talk about it, just the list goes on and on and also Susan Sarandon, you know,
all of them have spoken out in a great way for their support.
(08:46):
And we just need to understand that.
And, you know, just I talk a lot about the industry that I'm trying to put my foot in.
And I'm probably not doing a very good job about doing a podcast that involves some of these
hard discussions and I'm not trying to get too much into it, but still, let's just remember
(09:06):
that we can post, we can follow and understand people, learn from people who are experiencing it now.
There is so many good creators that I will put in in my I.O. kind of this podcast and we can
learn and listen from there.
Also not to mention that I have so much stuff going on in my head right now between
(09:30):
what's going on with the planet.
I'll mention that later, I think.
What's going on with the...
So right now I know that I'm kind of late to the game here, but we're doing the where I'm watching
the boys finally.
The reason that I held off so long is just because some of the violence and the horror
is not really my genre, but I finally gave in and watched Gen V, which I know for people who are
(09:55):
very big on in order versus out of order. It's probably better than there, you know, but I had
some insight.
Like, I mean, I tried to read the clip.
No, it's it.
Again, I tried to just understand, but the thing is when I hear things are gory and violent and
post-apocalyptic, yes, I grew up in the divergent and the hunger games kind of situation, like with
(10:18):
the books, etc.
Grew up with that stuff.
But now that we're living in this world and with COVID happening, I guess I got a little bit
nervous watching that stuff.
So yeah, not 100% what I was thinking about doing, but since I binge watched the whole
eight episodes, which if you're a fan of Grey's Anatomy, which I know that people are going to
(10:40):
say, oh my god, can this girl shut up already about it?
No, the funny part is,
this person is here, the shitty person, I'm like angry and angry at her!
I didn't feel the pain in her failure!
back when I watched the whole video.
I was Ran
That does sound to me threatening, but I can't obviously tell now, personally, how excited
(11:10):
People say horror that I don't know if it really, it's more thriller and that's where I vibe more with.
And I'm only talking about this because it's like, uh, yeah, I sometimes skip over a lot of the gore.
Because it's not as much me, but I love it.
Like, I love what the boys though has to offer.
(11:34):
And more, I'm sad that I, you know, kinda took off of it for a little bit, like, not sure.
And maybe that's just my ADHD side.
So I did just want to talk about it a little bit because it was just, it's been weighing heavy on my mind going on.
(11:55):
And not to mention that I'm already on like the third or fourth episode and I'm still like,
sneakily watching like the wiki sites, like the cliff notes, just to fully understand because it's like,
I know that it's the superheroes.
No one's like good or bad or, except for a few people are fully evil.
But I can figure out which of the supers were evil, like in Gen V.
(12:17):
I would argue you don't necessarily have to watch the boys.
That's what I was hearing before you watch Gen V.
But it might help with some of the characters that are appearing or like tied together, something that they're talking about more.
Or you, if you haven't watched the boys season one in a while and you then go straight to Gen V,
(12:38):
I think you should go and watch some of the plot stuff that happened in season one.
That's all that I'm saying because now it's like, oh my gosh, I can, I can see some of this clearly now.
It's morbid and makes you wonder what some of the stuff going on behind the scenes are, but it's, yeah.
Like people go, why can't you just sit and watch a show that is a fantasy?
(13:02):
The problem is that we are living in a society right now that is kind of making me a little like,
why don't watch Handmaid Tale?
Why don't watch, you know, some of those mops?
I just don't feel like it's like, it's like your fight or flight goes out.
And I kind of talked about this, but like, I went through where now I'm on like the right medication for my ADHD and stuff,
(13:26):
but I went through so many trials and tribulations that, you know what?
One thing that all these practitioners who have, you know, kept an eye on me or were starting to test me more
when I was little, fight or flight response.
I had a very much get out, get out, get out.
And that's epigenics and that's a different time I would love to talk to someone about that.
(13:49):
But oh my gosh, like the fact of the matter is though, you know, going back, I had been on,
I had been tested for everything and, you know, they still weren't completely right with my ADHD being not hyperactive.
And, you know, I was on concerta and some of those other ones that didn't work, which they found out later didn't work.
(14:09):
But then I was in during the whole opioid crisis thing, so I guess that that was another reason why my parents didn't necessarily want me to be on more med
and my brain was developing still.
So again, it's so funny how I kind of, I believe that holistic and Western medicine can work together.
I'm not going to push down one's good or one's bad because I don't believe in that whatsoever.
(14:34):
I just think it's super funny that I go back and I read through, you know, I had Western standard medicine testing me for all these things.
And you know, holistic medicine and the takeaway is yes, I am very ADHD anxious.
And the reason for that is, I don't know, but my anxiety masked for a lot of time some other things.
(14:59):
But it's so funny how my OCD just kind of took over that whole thing for a while and then got other things.
But the more time goes on and the more that I see, you know, therapists with ADHD themselves and explain things like, oh my God, my whole life makes sense now.
And then watching the whole the supers and all the this, the that, watching Percy Jackson.
(15:23):
And the thing is that like, oh shoot, Percy Jackson has all these traits, which was written because Ryo down or Rodain, I can't pronounce his last name.
Anyway, has his kid had ADHD and dyslexia.
So of course, like we think and then the whole magic of all this stuff where we think that, oh cool.
(15:46):
And it makes us feel special for the kids who can't read as well, etc. But it's like, it's also a bummer when we don't actually achieve any of those things.
Just saying.
So it's kind of like a never ending cycle in my head.
Where's okay, I don't really know where to go from here.
(16:07):
So yeah, like how, how do you feel reading that?
Because I felt like it was a little bit sad because you know, you realize you didn't achieve that thing.
And yeah, so how was it for you compared to and you know, there's just like a lot of people go out there right now that are in the creative world that I keep looking at that have some of the same struggles, whatever.
(16:31):
But it's like, no matter how hard you try to get your foot in the door right now, especially or in life.
It's like, who you know, how you know, even to get a basic job.
And I talked about this in a lot of my other podcasts.
I've talked about my frustration, you name it.
But it's so true.
And no matter how much you try to work and keep it going, like right now, I'm still getting together little miscellaneous pieces and parts for my actors access my breakdown express.
(17:00):
I know these terms and stuff, but I don't really like know like how much this is going to help when they say this and that.
So I don't know why it went in that circle.
But again, that is life.
That is ADHD.
That is that Charlie Day meme where he's like from one to another to another to another to another.
(17:22):
What just happened?
What just happened?
And because I just want to state one thing because it's like I see a lot of actors do have a lot of ADHD stuff.
And I know that I'm a part of the canceled generation that is Gen Z that is born between 1997 and 2010.
And I can get the Pew Research link and the Wikipedia, all that to show that.
(17:48):
Meanwhile, there is a video circulating separately about, you know, why millennials are looking younger than Gen Z or why some Gen Z and Jordan Thee Stallion, who's 26, who's actually my age.
And maybe I actually look younger than I am.
And this is not me flexing.
This is me just saying.
But you know how I mentioned stress a few minutes ago and whatever.
(18:12):
Here's the thing.
I'm going to say that, you know, maybe it displays itself differently, but my body is breaking down like a 50 year old right now.
Like I have ashi motos.
I have endometriosis.
I have ADHD.
I have maybe hypermobility.
We, you know, that stuff.
Like, again, I may look young and I may have like a little bit better on that connective tissue and genetics, but don't be fooled.
(18:37):
Like for people who are saying, why do we, some of them look 50 and with kids or why are so many of them getting sick?
It's like suddenly we're dismantling everything that was going on in the like generations before us.
And I know that I keep mentioning this, but this is just like the theme of how my brain is working.
And then we just went to the doctor today.
Things are fine.
We're working through it.
(18:58):
We got a plan.
But it's just how it is.
And it's also like people ask, why do women have so many more of these issues?
Because we've been holding on to so many shit, so many shit and secrets for generations that we've just finally had enough.
Yeah.
And yes, it's probably cause before anyone goes, it's caused by the other one.
Of course it's caused by the other woman.
(19:19):
Of course the other woman started kind of this thing because they were pulling on, holding on, holding on and snap.
And then this is not excusing any personality issues, mental health problems, whatever.
Like I have been there, I have been in a weird situation.
I know exactly what you're thinking about, but they have been holding on for so long.
(19:40):
These other issues that no wonder they've been snapped and no wonder they're crazy.
I want you to think about that the next time you think that this girl is out of the bonkers off the wall, jumping from one place to another.
Of course I am because I have to talk quick and I have to try to get my point across and try to have it flow all together because no one cares.
As some men say in your life or as adults saying your life.
(20:04):
So if you're in a like generational trauma thing that's constantly going and you feel like you're not going to get your point across.
That's why you sometimes chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, chat, try to get to the point, try to get to the point, try to fight.
And then people say they're trying to make it easier for you.
It's not making it easier.
It's making you more anxious and no wonder it's like you have this many health problem.
(20:27):
And I'm growing up in that stereotypical white picket fence family.
That's kind of what happens.
I'm not saying other people whatever, but I just think that the stress that lives inside of you and you try to talk about it, but people don't want to hear about it.
So it's like the stigma against all of this.
And I know I talk about this a lot every week, but it's like me watching the boys, me watching some of these shows, displays that perfectly.
(20:55):
Even if it's supposed to be kind of satire about the world around us, but that is it.
And the way that, you know, how it is and how to get ahead.
Like, you know, they're doing it on a purely like, yes, comedic, dark comedy, you know, standpoint, but it's true.
And finally, once you start calling out this, you kind of like are trying, well, not trying to be a revolutionist,
(21:21):
but it's just it's so freeing to see that in media.
Like inadvertently maybe calling out.
I don't know how to fully describe it, but it is beautifully done and I encourage everyone to watch it.
I think schools, high schools should talk about it and have it shown.
I know people are going to go, what the hell do you mean by that, Sarah?
(21:44):
What? No, because it talks about a lot of things that is so important that our society shies away from.
And I think especially with things going on in the world, it's more important now than ever to watch things like this.
Just so you can start thinking critically and, you know, having a lot more of these hard conversations
(22:05):
that people don't want to deal with, writing about your feelings surrounding it.
And then maybe you'll get a little bit of a more educational understanding.
I know it's weird for me to talk about it in this way, but this is just how I personally feel.
Like I feel like there's so much that we kind of shy away from, don't want to talk about, don't want to look at,
(22:28):
don't want to see, just kind of keep the mouse zipped and that's just not always okay.
Also, I've had way more time to think about all of this, given the fact that I have been stuck inside this whole entire week
because the Midwest is below zero, the wind chill, you name it.
(22:48):
Like I cannot walk my dog at night very, very long because she gets her paws frozen.
And I am in like such long underwear, which I know people are like, are long johns or whatever the hell you call them.
I'm in a bunch of sweatshirts.
(23:09):
I'm borderline overheating on one hand because I'm wearing wool stuff and it's good that he is finally working in my room
and in my place in my upstairs.
But when I go downstairs, it hurts like a motherfucker because of all that stuff.
And you know, it makes me think back to when Trevor Noah and them came to visit and they go,
(23:31):
you guys like a month ago, you guys are like, gonna have so much cold like I think it's cold right now and we haven't even seen cold.
And then I see and I understand why people in LA, I will give Texas again, like I've said in other parts,
maybe even today, I will give Texas the benefit of the doubt just given the situations that are going on and they don't have as much.
(23:57):
I will give Tennessee a little bit the same thing, but other than that, if I hear people say how cold it is,
I understand that it's cold in like LA, it's cold in Florida, I get that, but it's never gonna be as cold as it is here.
And people wonder why even though we try to take the supplements, we try to do this, we try to do red light.
(24:21):
We're just gonna be depressed because we're cold, like the reason why someone's like, you're still depressed, of course I am.
Like it goes from major to chronic. A lot of times and people go, yeah, you just have the like persistent, no, well yes and no,
but I have had major depressive disorder and it goes back and forth with the ADHD, but it's cause kinda I live here.
(24:44):
And not that I don't love parts of this, like again, we don't have alligators, we don't have earthquakes, we don't have Ted Cruz, yeah,
we don't have a lot of these other awful things. That being said, we have this and it only makes like three months out of the year
bearable usually to be outside, not to mention that I'm also hearing about like the rising of temperatures and all this stuff
(25:09):
and like how to say the planet, I'm getting very, very, very anxious about that and that's where I tell again, where you watch like the boys
and then you see like all this corruption and again, I am not speaking about corruption like in our own like dynamics or whatever.
I'm not trying to lead a revolution or anything like that. I'm just saying, holy crap, like this would be a good use of something if they feel like,
(25:33):
you know, divergent and hunger gains are over, but then again, I also know that they can't always show TV, MA and school, even if they get a parent's permission.
So there's just so much going on here. And so that's the thing that goes on in my brain like stuff like that, but that media would be so helpful.
And I know that people are like, well, you can just watch it on your own, but it would just be like where I know you don't want to force kids,
(25:58):
but it would just it would just open so many, so many things. So I just wanted to specify that a little bit on this podcast this week,
because that's just been running through my head constantly. And I think that we all just need to, yeah, take a break from also social media,
because even then it makes me think of all the things like, you know, trying to get in the beta creative fun to try to make money to try to work.
(26:24):
Because again, I know I talk a lot on here, but I had like, I'm contract work, I'm trying to keep up with everything,
and I'm trying to make sure that I do all this stuff that I'm trying to follow by the book.
Well, I'm also trying to not lose my I'm trying to not lose my because I've lost the last like four years of my life.
(26:47):
And if I hear one more person, they'll say like who's in the influencer world. I understand that maybe things still aren't quite going the way you want.
But if I still hear you guys and all you guys on Osempics or whatever lie about things, even the Kardashians, like all of you say one more thing about working
whatever out of touch, I'm going to lose my mind because I try to hustle, I try to do this, I try to do that.
(27:15):
And again, it's always goes back to maybe it's because I'm doing things with integrity. Sorry, if this is a little bit louder, a little bit more of a bumpy kind of week,
I've just been very animated in this podcast clearly. And that's, we keep going with that being said, I don't really know how else to break it down here in this world in this life.
(27:43):
And I really wish I could have more answers. Not that anybody asked me for this, but I'm just trying to get everything that I've seen this week into like 30 minutes and hope some people listen to it because this is the life of a micro creator.
Again, this is all my bring lights barely work. My microphone is maybe not in the right setting. This is like, here's the thing, I am showing you this like almost raw and completely unedited.
(28:18):
I added it enough to try to save your ears. But aside from that.
So, yeah, also, I do want to quickly touch on how to touch the Kardashians. Yes, Kim and her canning bed, which is so bad and she's, again, we do not follow advice from them.
We do not follow advice from her. And you know what spray tans.
(28:42):
I know that you want to be darker. Some of us just want to keep like our little normal color and still kind of fades even if it's a similar issue enough. But we all get paler. I just meant that if you go in the taining bed regardless of white ethnicity what you are so many doctors have spoken out against this also your sister your sister has had melanoma.
(29:07):
This is like where I get for psoriasis maybe some of this light therapy but again it just shows like how whenever people want to eat or be like them try to fit with what they're doing there.
It's not true. Like her saying I don't use those M-PIX maybe that's true maybe that's not but if you have a red light therapy or red light room or a like taining bed side by side you know that they have enough money to go and pay for some of this stuff.
(29:34):
So that is just my takeaway plus that's why I'm glad you know originally some of us followed them because they were the relatable family but now they're becoming I mean they're not becoming they've always been out of touch but it was like more like trying to watch that cringy amount of TV.
And now it's like you know I could see the voice of having a post apocalyptic like Kardashian and even though I know that it's a part of a comic series but it's just super funny like I could see so many like twists and turns but again I don't know unless someone's connected but that's just how I feel about the whole situation that is going on and I know that it might have been hard to follow.
(30:15):
So again I'm thankful for anyone who stayed all the way through this. This has been Gen Z Gab episode 68 and we will see you soon.
