I've gotta say the last week, Idon't say this lightly.
(00:03):
Was the most stressful anxietyinducing heart palpitating
cluster.
Fuck of a week of my entirelife.
Uh, shit.
Exploding shit.
Just shit, exploding, brainrotting, hair, clumping, and
falling out Inc.
Skin.
Belting I bowl popping.

Tom exploding.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
That's what happens to tongues?
Week of my fucking life.
Oh, here we are on the tail.
End of what?
The only described as one of thefucking.
The week that will go down inhistory.
It was the longest year of mylife last week.
It felt like There was a spellput over the world and time was
(00:47):
going by so slowly because therewas so much happening.
I do know why.
There was a.
There was a long along a fullmoon.
It was, yeah, it was the sameperiod of time.
It's like the moon looks like itwas a fuller for longer.
It's supposed to represent likestagnancy and whatever else.
I don't like it in the universe.
Because Mrs.
Tik TOK ban.
With all encompassing.
And now as we are on the tailend of the inauguration as well,
(01:12):
there's so much going on in theworld that we are about to
fucking dig into.
So take a seat.
Take a seat, grab a knife.
Grab a fork.
No.
And I've signed enough.
You don't need anything otherthan a knife?
Don't use on yourself.
And let's dig into what wentdown last week.
(01:33):
God.
We went through trauma togetheras a society.
Yeah, the U S went throughtrauma.
The whole world was fine.
The world was fine.
They were laughing at us.
They were like, what the fuck ishappening over there?
And that janky ass country youlive in.
And we were like, I made theactive choice to live here.
We said, yeah, let's move here.
(01:54):
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Yeah, no, it's not, it's reallynot.
I don't know.
Should we do a timeline?
Should we start from thebeginning?
Yeah.
Which was last Monday.
Crazy how that feels like a yearago.
Last Monday.
It was the beginning of the weekof clusterfuck.
We woke up.
Because we knew that tick-tockabandon was happening.
When was the Supreme court thatwas Wednesday.
(02:16):
No.
When was the Supreme courthearing we went, did they have
that hearing?
Oh, they're hearing Last week,the week before.
Okay.
But Monday we were waking up andwe were like, okay, the
tick-tock ban is happening.
We were like, we know what dayis going to happen.
It's going to happen on Sunday,the 19th.
But we know the Supreme court isgoing to issue a decision maybe
who knows.
On Wednesday.
We're going to find a release,like a statement of like our
(02:37):
opinions for the week.
Yeah.
The Wednesday came and went.
And guess what?
We got nothing from those littlefucks.
And yeah, we were riddledbecause if you don't know
already, like textbook is alllike primary source of income.
We like do brand partnerships onlike multiple social platforms,
but Tik TOK is like the mostlucrative.
This girl.
Five years building a communityon this platform.
(03:00):
And so to see it.
Ripped away.
Potentially to see it this week,this past week be like just
toyed in front of us.
Like a pizza, like a piece ofmeat, pizza meat, like a piece
of meat, like bait.
Yeah, you.
I want this things that you'renot going to get it.
You might your income might bestripped away from me.
You Ooh, your business might bejust like poof, who knows?
(03:22):
Because some old fucks want to.
Want to rule in some way.
It's not just us.
It's not just us.
The like content creators of theplatform and they're on the
world.
Who we're going to see such ahit.
It's crazy to me that, to thinkthat how many there's 170
million American users on TikTOK, which make up, you think
(03:43):
that's like half of thepopulation, but it's not because
like most of the population.
There's kids in the elderlypeople who don't use the social
platform.
There's people in prison who,some of those use the platform
I've seen prison talk.
And there are rest of the 175million, which actually make up
the majority of people who canuse the platform.
That use the fucking platformand 7 million small businesses
(04:05):
that are going to be directlyaffected by this tick tock.
7 million small businesses.
The Supreme court was just like,No, I don't care about anyone.
I don't care about the coactually don't care about the
economy and don't care about howthis is going to impact
literally everyone's life.
The timeline and the timeline,the template.
And the timeline.
On Wednesday.
I was up at 7:00 AM watching thelive stream of the SCOTUS ruling
(04:28):
know what Skoda stands for.
Okay.
Cool.
Yeah.
I don't know if you knew.
And then POTUS is president.
I have Instagram.
Unfortunately.
no.
Who was Pelotas.
It's a different one.
I don't know.
Perry, the Platypus.
Who the fuck is Pelotas.
So on the timeline, I waswaiting for the Supreme court
(04:50):
ruling on Wednesday.
It didn't happen.
I was anxious that day.
No, I was still hopeful.
I think that day, I think I waslike, okay, they're waiting
until another they're there.
They're drawing this out.
They're making this.
The most horrible season finaleof the U S ever by drawing it
out to the end.
So I was hopeful still onWednesday.
I'm going in my emotions.
This is an emotional timeline.
(05:11):
Thursday.
I was.
Anxiety induced anxiety ridden.
Was I anxious on Thursday?
I dunno.
I think Thursday was the anxiousday where I was like, oh, we
are.
I was like, I'm going to cry.
We were moving towards the vanand we were like, no, one's
doing anything.
Hello government.
You want to do something?
And this is the time wherepeople like the Congress, men
and women who like actuallyvoted for the ban were like, oh
(05:34):
wait, maybe I don't want theband.
Maybe because all of the youthand the entire country are
against me right now.
Like Cory Booker and.
I'm like all these peoplethey're like, Ooh, maybe let's
think about this again.
Okay.
Don't vote for it in the firstplace.
I know it's crazy.
He's a shit crazy work piece ofshit.
I'm sorry.
And then Friday came around.
And we got the ruling.
Oh my God.
And it was nine to zero.
(05:54):
I was like, okay.
That's fine.
And what was the ruling?
A unanimous.
The face, your fucking littlepieces of shit.
What they said to us.
And I was like, huh.
Okay.
Turns out it didn't fuckingmatter.
Because all of a sudden onSaturday morning, Or maybe it
was this Friday, the tick tockCEO is like, we're going to be
(06:16):
working with chomp to.
Figure out how we can all moveforward together.
We are for, he actually saidthat we are fortunate for
president Trump during that techtalk that he put out.
We are fortunate that we have apresident lacked wasn't a
president at the time.
Look a little bitch.
I get it.
You know what?
I get it.
You know what you're trying tosave this thing.
(06:39):
Who am I to say?
How you shouldn't do it.
This literally seems like theonly way.
Yeah.
It to have been.
Whatever.
And then Saturday evening comesaround.
We like expect it to go dark bylike midnight that night.
Midnight EST.
And then there was like word onthe street that it was going to
go dark by eight 30 PT.
It was a random email fromtick-tock shop to like agencies.
(07:02):
That it was like, oh my God.
At eight 30 E S T five 30 PST,it's going to go dark.
And we were like, oh, that's inthree hours.
I thought we had until midnight.
I'm going.
No one actually said no oneactually said midnight or eight
30 or 9:00 PM.
No.
It's like a historical worldevent.
Everyone's like, where were you?
Yeah.
Second tower was hit.
Yeah.
I was on my friends.
40th birthday dinner.
(07:22):
And I went on the app and thenit said, And duck is banned in
the United States, but.
Working with president charm,but we're fortunate that
president Schomp has our backs.
God save us president.
And then I was like, you knowwhat it's happened?
And now I know it.
It was freaky.
It was freaky.
I was a mess.
No, I run into other friends andI like run to the other table.
(07:44):
I was like, look, what the fuckjust happened to them?
There was like a whole likemurmur on the, in the room about
it all in.
What.
I have a few glasses of winedown.
Let me just continue drinkingand just forget that this
happened.
And then tomorrow I can wake upand.
I dunno, doom scroll, Instagramreels.
We tried that night to scroll onboth reels and YouTube shorts.
(08:06):
YouTube trusts is a fucked.
And I've said this, and I'vesaid this, and I've said this,
and I will continue to say this.
What the fuck is YouTube?
What the fuck are you doing onthis app?
This app is one of the mostdemented, not the app itself.
The short shorts feed the mostinsane.
What the fuck?
No.
It's like weird.
It feels like what reels.
(08:29):
It's supposed to be.
Cause reels isn't is bad.
But it's not as bad.
YouTube torts feels like youopen tech talk for the first
time.
And then you get like the freshfeed.
And you can tell because of thefucking comments that you get on
Instagram.
And YouTube.
Discuss us, is it tech talkbecause tech talks algorithms.
The algorithm if they sell andthen the algorithms like, no,
(08:52):
the algorithm is going to stick.
We're going to stick.
We're going to keep thealgorithm.
This is what I mean.
I'm like, if they sell them,they don't sell the algorithm.
Then the app is fucked andruined in the.
Anyway, so it doesn't reallymatter.
I posted the same tick sock,making fun of Donald Trump.
JD Vance's official portraits.
They're not curation portraitson Tik TOK, Instagram and
YouTube charts.
TechTalk funny as fuck.
So funny, everyone is.
A fucking comedian on tech talk.
(09:13):
Cause I'm like, everyone's onthe same page.
The video is going to the samepeople.
Yes.
It's like an echo.
Whatever chamber, but it's notgoing to like Maga hats.
You posted on Instagram andYouTube shorts straight to
manga, straight to mega land.
And they're like, that's yourpresident you're talking about?
Or he looks like that becausehe's a leader and he's a man.
You hate like masculinity.
People microwaved, huh?
(09:34):
He looks like he's in amicrowave.
Yeah.
It's like he's been put in themicrowave for one and a half
minutes.
On Harvard on high.
And then whatever came out wasthis.
He's like a marshmallow.
You have you ever put amarshmallow in a microwave now?
Why the fuck would I do that?
Because, okay.
Do you know what happens withmarshmallow and microwave?
No.
You put a marshmallow.
Like Expand so much.
And then it, like when you takeit out, like implodes, he looks
(09:55):
like the imploded, like afterthe, after you've finished.
I can imagine.
It's just like a really it's areally Potent kind of burnt a
little bit shady.
Like yellow.
Yeah, exactly.
That's.
He looks like.
Yeah.
It looks very jaundice.
JD Vance looks like Miley Cyrusat the 2008 Grammys.
I don't know.
Grammy's that one?
That 1008 spooky times.
Yeah.
He also looks like someone said,he looks like.
Uh, White Walker, he looks likea demented pug.
(10:18):
Trump looks like a gender bent,Dolores Umbridge, which I live
for.
There's so many good ones, butthey put it on YouTube torts and
it's just like, That's mypresident.
I'm like not my fuckingpresident.
Yeah, I mean, You know howembarrassing that these people
anyway.
Okay.
And then on the timeline, Ithought we were going to have it
gone for at least two days untilthe inauguration.
So Saturday night I went away.
(10:39):
I thought we were going to haveat least until past noon on
Monday without Tik TOK.
Cause I didn't think it'd comeback over the weekend because I
think he'd had to make like theexecutive order, blah, blah,
blah.
But yeah, and then we got itback.
What time, just because it like2:00 PM.
Sunday at 2:00 PM.
No, it was less than that.
Really?
I think it was less than thatbecause we no, no, no, because
(10:59):
we lost it at nine.
Nine something on Saturday 6, 70 7.
It was like seven or 8:00 PM, Wehad it gone less than 24 hours.
It was like 12 hours.
Yeah, it was gone.
And I kept like I know exactlywhere Tik TOK is on my home
screen.
So I kept pressing it, like outof habit.
But I was like all of a suddenthe pop-up went away and it just
had no internet connection.
And then I was back on my feed,but there was no for you page.
(11:20):
So I was like, What's happened.
He is risen.
He has risen Hala, fucking Lula,Lupe, Lula.
what the fuck.
Are you doing?
And then the, for you page cameback, came back and I was like,
not at all.
And then the conspiracy theoriesstyle.
But I'd like to take a stepbackwards.
For a moment.
(11:40):
If you will allow, I would allowindulge.
I would indulge.
So this episode is about thetech.
Talk about if you have notalready gathered.
We're having gum.
A deep dive in, into.
Just the inner workings of ourbrains during that time.
Because our careers were fallingoff of a cliff.
As they were for many otherpeople, like a lot of the
creatives in the app.
Some of which took to take, talkto reveal.
(12:03):
Deep dark secrets that they'dbeen hob harboring the
harboring.
Yeah.
Career ending.
I will say people reallyexpected the app to go down
forever and they revealed thatdarkest secrets through a trend,
through a trend.
On Tik TOK, where they wereadmitting to basically lying to
that followers, giving thehumble, influence the bad name.
(12:24):
Fitness influences lying about.
Doing the workout, doing thatworkout.
Doing the workouts lying aboutnot having surgery.
This one.
And so who had a BBL and she waslike, Here's the secret I had to
BBL.
I don't actually have this fromworking out.
Which is wild.
That's crazy.
Bang girl, who was like, I don'tactually eat all the food that I
(12:45):
claimed to eat.
That's crazy, even though that'sher whole platform.
Did you hear about the ice cubegirl?
No, he's an ice cube.
Go.
Like people are, I don't knowwhy people about.
About ice cube.
I love the ice cube golf slide.
Cause I feel like this is likea, no, this isn't in the grand
scheme of things.
Ice cube go.
Ice cube gate is not a big deal.
Ice cube.
This girl has 20 millionfollowers or like maybe she got
(13:06):
20 million views on this, likeone tech talk.
Okay.
Restocks ice cube trays.
Oh, fru unlike.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And it makes this whole like,just so many ice cube trays, and
she puts like berries and stuff.
Yeah.
And she was like, Here's mysecret.
It's very High school, musicalstate is quo.
Like I got a secret to tell andthey're like no.
(13:27):
But yeah, that was the trendbasically.
And she was like, I don'tactually eat all of these ice
cubes.
And then everyone's like, Say itain't so ice cube girl, you lied
to us.
And then she came back on when.
Chuck was, yeah, she was like, Idon't eat them all, but like I
had some, sometimes they're likemy friends and my partner has
salmon.
We like have them on likeweekends and sometimes put them
(13:47):
in cocktails.
That is not a big deal.
Ice.
I just was spiraling becausewhen something's taken away, you
look really cherishedafterwards.
In my blissful doom scrollyesterday, I was just going down
this rabbit hole and everyonewas like, Ice cube girl sucks.
And it was like, wait a minute.
Have we just like really lostthe plot?
Because this isn't that bad.
She just made Iceland.
(14:08):
Didn't have some of them.
I know there's other thingsfine.
Other things to be angry at howis she going to have all that?
It's happening during theinauguration too.
And I'm like, please redirectyour anger elsewhere.
This is not that bad.
It is crazy.
As.
Someone whose career isconcentration and who this is
like our whole life.
like it says, if we, cause we doa lot of food, we said we don't
(14:29):
eat any of this food.
We like chew it up and then spitit out That's the dumbest career
move you can ever make.
The brain do not also have otherplatforms that people follow
you.
Which you repost your tuk-tukson shore.
All credibility.
You're an idiot.
Even if you like made it oneafterwards.
It was a joke.
It was so funny.
I'm like you ruined yourcredibility.
Yeah.
you're an idiot.
(14:50):
Idiots dumb.
And the people who also deletedtick talk from their phone, Dom.
We can talk about dumb.
We can talk about dumb in thiscountry.
We store it on inauguration.
Off of your phone, even if youthought that it was not going to
come back, why wouldn't you justkeep it for as long as you
could?
I don't know.
It doesn't make people.
The also some people I saw thatwere like, they deleted off
(15:11):
their phone because they sawother people were back on it.
So they were like, let medelete.
And then re-install the app.
To see if I can get the appback.
But it's something, someone elsebe your Guinea pig still don't
do it.
As an influencer as.
It's still not in the app store,yeah.
And it probably won't be forawhile.
Those brain cells together.
What's left of them, rubbedthem.
Rub them together.
It's crazy to me, bonkers.
(15:33):
To spark some kinds of thought.
there's no fire happening inthose brains.
So that was crazy.
They're really did feel like itwas a week.
That was a year.
And then all of a sudden it wasgone.
It was like That one clip fromSpongeBob.
If you can do the time, don't dothe crime and they walk into
jail and then the guy goes,okay, time's up?
(15:54):
They walk in and they walkstraight back out of prison.
I think it's so funny that Most,if not, all of our references
are from Tik TOK, because I sawthat exact same thing on Tik
TOK.
And I know you took thatreference from that.
And if we didn't have tech talk.
Where would I reference this?
Nope, no way.
I'm not fucking getting it fromInstagram reels.
Am I finding it was a reallyfucking traumatic time I had to
As you heard, I was drinking alot of wine inside tonight.
(16:15):
I woke up on Sunday, mildlyhungover.
And I was like there's nothing.
I'm not going to read a book.
I have had it, but I'm not goingto look at a page.
Because it's really hard tolike, imagine, Fake scenarios in
your head about your hallucinatewhilst you read into a fucking
book, reading words on a page,imagining all this things in
your brain.
It's difficult to do that whilstyou're hungover.
Totally.
Okay.
(16:35):
I'll just start a new book andI'm just like really struggling
to get into it.
Fuck.
no, this is my justification forhaving to fucking scroll on
Instagram reels.
How was it?
What did you see to heritable?
Some of the things I'll onInstagram wheels.
I'm like, what the fuck?
How does this not violatecommunity guidelines?
Yeah, I see having theircontent.
Removed from the app ofInstagram because they violate
(16:56):
community guidelines becausethey talk about this or that
censorship is real.
You guys, censorship is real,but all of a sudden, why can I
see the shaft of your penis?
Oh, Instagram.
Swing it around.
And around the video, the videosof the judges.
My patients is a lot like myInstagram algorithm than it does
(17:16):
anything, but it's fuckinginsane.
My Instagram algorithm is likemen working out or just like men
in general.
As a manager, it's just mad menin general, actually.
What is that?
What is it right now?
Cause I want to try and Provethat it's somewhat wholesome.
There are only men.
It.
There are only.
Men gay people.
Oh, there's some makeup stuff.
(17:37):
There's some makeup.
There was a man holding like aanal beads in his mouth.
They've literally alarm.
That is crazy.
That is wild.
And next day.
Like someone getting her makeupdone.
Sat.
Right.
I was like right next to that.
This makes sense.
Oh, my God Instagram'salgorithm.
I don't know how it's like.
Yeah.
Your guy you interact with oneor two gay people.
(17:59):
RedNet was a phenomenon.
You never got into it.
I got into it for a second.
And I'm off it.
I was like well, the weekstarted, everyone was
downloading red now.
And I was like, I just don'thave the time to learn Mandarin
right now.
I'm sorry.
I just don't have the, I don'thave the brain classy.
My career's on the line.
Sorry, I can't do that.
I did see some things thoughfrom Tik TOK people with
screen-sharing the algorithm onred note.
(18:20):
Really good, because as soon asI like scrolled a little bit and
then started hearing.
Hi gay.
Ah, welcome to the body shop.
No.
Not her.
She was a guest judge on yes.
Why does she get stressed?
Because she was a phenomenon.
Random one, like Vargo video.
Yeah, it was a big one for thecase.
(18:41):
It was just viral and gaze.
So funny though.
And then we got it back.
And then we've got to back andthen we got it back.
And now we have tech talk for 75days because of.
My Lord and savior, chop chomp.
Chop you saved us.
Anyone who thinks that Trumpactually saved Tik TOK is
brainless.
Domus I don't know if we need totake it back to 2020 when he
(19:04):
originally created the conceptof the Tech-Talk ban.
Hello.
The inception of the Tik TOK bancame from that like tiny little
Walnut brain inside that giantorange had, because he didn't
like the conversations that werehappening around BLM.
During that time.
Because Tik TOK was becoming ourtown hall and it was the most
liberal app.
Out of all the apps and it wasthe place that everyone could
(19:26):
share ideas and haveconversations and share
everything that was happeningwith BLM.
And he didn't like that.
If you think about the appitself, if you think about
Instagram and you think aboutother apps either.
YouTube.
Yeah, YouTube.
Yeah.
Yeah, YouTube apps.
YouTube in my mind is like a bigsearch engine just for like
videos.
Like I will type like how to dosomething or how to do that.
The tube.
Fuck ex fuck that little pieceof shit.
(19:48):
Fuck that dumb, ugly littlefucking rat man.
Fuck him.
Fuck his app.
Fuck his entire lineage.
Fuck you.
Actually not his lineage becausehis daughter is like slight
isn't.
What was he described asyesterday?
Oh It looks like the afterpicture of someone with a skin
graft and I'm not even going toget into the gesture, but he did
two times during the, the, youknow, gracious.
(20:10):
Elon Musk.
It was the most, it's the mostinsane thing.
If you are.
Someone who voted for Trump andyou're witnessing this and you
are still okay with everythingthat happened yesterday.
All of those executive ordersthat he did.
everything that happened, Elan'sdumb fucking gestures that
resembled, fascism.
(20:32):
It wasn't a hundred percent.
If you see that and you're like,huh?
That's fine.
That's fine by me because eggswill be cheap at festival and
other when you're dumb.
And they will not be cheaper orwhy.
Talk.
Thank.
Fucking God, she is going to be,how many days are they in
Trump's presidency?
Like 1000, 1,200.
(20:54):
She's like here is like myseries of 1000 times 100.
Days of Trump's presidency,where I'm going to be ranking
egg prices every single day.
To make sure to see how theychange and they're not going to
change because guess what?
Just in case you're dumb.
The president of the UnitedStates does not get to determine
the price of things.
(21:16):
And it just happens due to inflight.
There's a bird flu happeningright now.
There's a bird flu.
There's an actual edge.
I had to go on the great eggheist last week to go and find
eggs.
On a Wednesday last week, justrun around.
Two.
Multiple different stores to tryand find eggs.
And I did, and they wereexpensive and I was like, you
know what?
Beggars can't be choosers.
(21:37):
To buy a different brand that wenever bought from who the fuck
is Ben and Ben and Jerry, Idon't know.
I'm a vital farms.
Jerry, but it was Ben and Jerry.
No, it was it.
Been in Gary bedding, GaryBennett.
Terry and Terry zags orsomething crazy.
I was like, shoot here.
Were they?
Who were they?
Who these strangers in my house.
These strange white men in myhouse, all of a sudden, but I
don't know how to eat your eggs.
(21:57):
I'm going to eat your assbecause we're desperate.
Trump does not have the power tomake anything cheaper and he
will not.
And his policies have beenproven to actually make things
more expensive.
Because when you cut taxes onthe rich.
Things get more expensive at thebottom.
Even the bottom, like you.
Like your bottom half.
75%.
(22:18):
95%.
Yeah, it's a 96%.
It's a 4% the top wealthiestpeople.
the lineup of dare I say,fucking loser is behind him at
the inauguration to.
And.
What was Lauren Lauren Sanchez.
Who is her name?
Jeff Bezos is fiance.
What was she wearing?
Blazer over Abrar lap.
(22:40):
I don't know, over a bralette, Idon't know, for an inauguration.
Except bra.
It was very telling that.
If they didn't allow the spousesof most of the Congress people
to come.
The integration.
was allowed to have her.
But she was stood right behindTrump.
Yeah.
Because Jeff paizos is.
(23:00):
Sucking his fucking Dick.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Oh, this is going to be crazy.
You guys the crazy?
No, this is like a differentstage of America's devolution
and to chaos because of theoligarchs right behind Trump in
front of his cabinet, like theywere in front of his cabinet.
The oligarchs were and byoligarchs, all of Metta, Google
(23:22):
Musk.
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Our evening.
At front book, nobody's safe.
And they all donated likemillions of dollars to his
inaugural fund.
I'm like what is happening?
What is happening?
I'm scared.
He's like this presidency isjust opened the door for
everyone to just come out as.
(23:43):
Big fat racist.
And also ugly.
The two go hand in hand.
Sorry.
The more conservative.
You get the ugly irrigate.
No shit.
It's proven.
Then the more like melted youlook.
Yeah.
But at least we have ticked off.
At least we have to take talk inthe Gulf of America.
And that is a Gulf of Beijing.
That is the goal of Beijing.
(24:05):
Niihau motherfucka.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm sorry.
That is so fucking insane.
We now have to just wait and seewhat's going to happen with tech
talk, as everyone else does.
I'm.
Gonna segue into the topic ofconspiracies.
I love conspiracies put on thetinfoil.
Let's talk.
As soon as Tik TOK came back,everyone was like, It seems
(24:26):
different.
Has anyone not been able to seethe lives tab?
No one can see the tick talkshop there we're slowly rolling
out the features and people werelike the app's different.
Something's not right here, butwe like as creators, we get
emails from Tik TOK.
Like I get emails from tech docand they were like, it's going
to slowly roll out.
Like you might not see lives.
You might not.
They literally said you're notgoing to see lives and you're
(24:48):
not going to see tech doc shopfor a second.
And those were the things thatwere missing, but everyone's
they don't want us to see what'shappening in the world.
So they've taken away lives.
And even on the app store yet,like this slowly rolling things
back in, I don't think you can.
Look, I don't know why it isn'ton the app store yet.
Maybe it won't be for the next75 days.
They figure out that whateverdeal they're going to do, but
the conspiracies were crazy.
(25:09):
It's insane.
They were like Maribel.
Oh my God.
and like now, You can seebecause show Chu.
She talked in his bio.
But here's the thing people weresaying show choose.
Tik TOK, bio no longer says CEOof TechTalk and Facebook and
Instagram now have accounts onTik TOK.
That means this, that means thatturns out.
(25:31):
If you use a brain.
Just one, you don't need to useyour own.
You can just have, you can usesomeone else's.
Yeah.
There was never the word CEOwritten in.
The CEO's bio.
To begin with.
And if there is a humongousmerger like this happening.
Legally, they have to discloseit to the public.
Like it has to be either.
Can't do things like that insecret.
(25:52):
If these huge companies aremerging or if there's like legal
things happening by law, it hasto be like open to the public
because they're publicly trade.
Well, Facebook is a publiclytraded company.
Yeah.
It has to be shared.
Yeah.
And also the us does not likemonop, like regardless of what
we think about the status of theU S right now as an oligarchy,
we do not like monopoliesbecause a United explain where
(26:13):
the oligarchy to me is if I'm afucking idiot, It just means
like it's like a vegetable.
I think a root vegetable.
It means the government.
I never thought of it as a rootvegetable.
It basically means that thepower is in the hands of the
few.
So like the strings are beingpulled by the richest people in
the world.
Like the T is the businessTitans.
(26:33):
And those people are actually incharge.
So you see the government, likewe have the government and
that's technically a democraticRepublic.
that's the type of government wehave and have had.
But whenever we have anoligarchy, that's just changed
to the rich are the ones pullingthe strings.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
Oh, but the U S does not likemonopolies because United was
(26:54):
trying to merge with spiritairlines And then that got shut
down by the government becausewe do not like monopolies.
It takes away competition.
So Metta was going to buyTech-Talk.
Hey, that would have to bepublic.
Be that would go into the courtsand we would have this big,
massive fight over it.
Can't just happen.
It can happen within the spaceof 12 hours.
I just don't understand.
Because Facebook made a Tik TOKprofile.
(27:16):
And on Facebook, there werepopups saying to connect your
tick, talk, everyone with allyour brain cells said, oh, that
means metabolic tech doc.
You can have, why do you always.
You can, you could have allready, connected your Instagram
to tech talk.
Like it's just not a thing.
It's not a thing that those twoplatforms like haven't been like
in sync before.
I think we were all I thinkeveryone was in panic mode.
Like I ended up in defense ofall the conspiracy theorists.
(27:37):
Like we were in panic mode.
We were in, we were traumatized.
We were trying to makeeverything make sense in our
heads rather than like, it justcame back at everything's
normal.
That's boring.
Because also it was like, soanticlimactic, I'm like you can
leak and take it away for a bitlonger.
I was actually like starting tobe a little bit productive.
I was like, actually let me reada book.
Let me clean the house a littlebit.
Let me get my life togethersomewhat.
(27:58):
And then all of a sudden waslike, nevermind, here you go.
And then we have, and then wehave this like influx of like
sappy posts all on tech talklike we did this outage.
I know.
Hey, you guys is plump or Ms.
My little.
And I would do it again becausetakes off.
Is that important to me?
Yeah, totally.
And I will not say embarrassedthat I was sad.
No, I was sad because Tik TOKhas changed our lives.
(28:20):
Rugrats, you guys Brag roots.
No workouts.
What.
What did you say?
Now what?
Yeah.
Hey.
We are I guess when more likeshit becomes publicly known, I
guess we're going to, alldiscover it together and figure
out where we go from herebecause we have 75 days and
(28:43):
they're going to try to make abusiness deal.
Trump is going to come in andmake a business deal, make
America great again.
And we're all going to be sohappy.
The amount of like ass kissing.
That's just happening with thisfucking president is crazy to
me.
And the amount of people who arelike so thankful that he's
saved.
Tech-Talk I'm like, I don't getit.
I don't get it because I knowhistory.
And I remember what his.
(29:03):
Past presidency was like, And Iremember what happened.
Just seems to have a lot morelike, oh, it's going to be
really scary for years for sure.
That's for sure.
But it was also scary other fouryears.
Yeah, that's right.
We started off the lastpresidency with Muslim ban and
we forget about how crazy thatwas.
Like we were protesting at theairports.
Oh, my God, people wereprotesting the airports.
They were shutting down things.
We were like, making sure thisdidn't happen.
(29:25):
So we do have the power.
I think a lot of people are lessinterested in fighting back.
Because we had hired.
Yeah, we went through a lot.
We've been through trauma.
We've been through so much andnow we have to do it again.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people aregoing to be more focused on like
local things and like communitybuilding at the local level,
like working with your cities.
And working with yourcommunities and your.
(29:45):
And your towns and your likeneighborhoods.
Rather than this, these bignational things.
And I think also it's good too.
Be happy in the face of it.
They're.
Be happy in the face of itfirst.
Experienced joy in the face ofadversary.
In spite ad set adversity.
No, it's just spite everyone whowants you to be sad and angry
(30:08):
and confused.
Yeah.
Be happy.
Yeah.
Be happy for the next fouryears.
It's stressful for sure.
But put on a happy face, put ona smile.
And pretend that you're havingthe time of your life.
Because they want you to be sad.
They want you to be like, oh myGod, he's going to, he's going
to evade Greenland, how dare he,he can't do that.
Let him say what he wants.
Because I think in the firstterm we were like, don't take
(30:29):
him at his word.
Don't take them, literally takethem.
Literally this time, if he'sgoing to invade Greenland.
Let him try.
I would like to see him likereally fails.
So that's what I mean.
Cause he's going to fail.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let them try to make eggscheaper.
He's going to fail.
But let me keep my chick, Joel,my duke dog.
(30:49):
Let them make a deal for techtop bottom.
Let everything happen.
That's gonna happen.
I'm worried about.
Me, my family and my immediatecommunity family.
And the people who are, the mostat risk.
By his administration.
Yeah, which is literally most ofthe glitches, literally
everyone.
Yeah.
And then hopefully in four yearswe can all collectively.
(31:12):
Vote for Gavin Newsome forpresident.
I think back on this time as thesmall, but deadly scourge.
That it was the Tech-Talk banwas like a silent, but deadly
fart.
Oh, my God.
It was so quiet and so short,but it felt so potent.
I was posting, you know, No, Idon't know.
(31:34):
I would have never produced sucha foul odor.
I'm looking at me.
I'm a I never farted in yourlife.
Never.
Never Never.
It's just sparkles.
And rainbows from in there.
Oh my God.
Disgusting.
And to round off this episodewith a dinner table game, we're
going to play peaks and pits,otherwise known as rose and
(31:54):
thorn.
Watch.
And.
Buds.
Oh but Wait.
We can play.
The equivalent of a Pekin pitwith a bud.
Peak pit and like a C level.
No cause I didn't know Rosen,Dawn, I didn't know what a Rosen
Dawn was until like here.
Rose, thorn, bud rose.
(32:15):
Okay.
Let's pay.
Laura is.
time to play.
Let's do our roses and then ourthorns and then our buds from
last week.
No, but it's not with negative.
Fuck.
Okay.
I start with the positive.
All I don't give a fuck.
You can start with the positive.
Was it positive?
From last week, do you have apositive from last week?
Yeah, exactly.
(32:36):
No, there are positive.
Exactly.
Oh, they're positive.
I have positive.
When Tik TOK was being banned.
And we were like in our finalstretches.
My whole for you page was filledwith sounds and audios and
trends from 2020.
And it felt so nice and likewarm and like people were
(32:56):
sharing like the whipped icecoffee trend.
I was like, this is nice.
This is a nice flashback becausewe've been on the app for five
years and I'm like, so much hashappened since then.
It's good to look back and belike, oh, this is where we
started.
We were so cringy back then.
So cute.
And five years ago you don'tremember, but fuck, who are so
cringy back then.
(33:16):
So Chris, I scroll back all theway to the bottom and I was like
Oh, It's cringy.
I'm going to say that my phonewas just the Supreme court.
Oh, we were like, oh my God,what are they going to say?
We're in the hand where like weare in, we, our livelihoods are
in the palms.
Of these.
The people who don't knowanything about.
What's going on.
(33:37):
They have no clue about this appand all of my truly my
livelihood is in the hands.
and then it ended up being fornothing.
Like we were stressing aboutthat decision and that decision
had no consequence to anything.
And it didn't matter.
It has so much consequences.
We forget that this rulingagainst tech top is not just
(33:57):
about tech talk.
It's giving it has given thegovernment power to ban any
outfit wish basically based on.
Evidence that they might ormight not have.
Any app.
Any app that's owned by aforeign adversary, whatever that
means.
With data security reasons,blah, blah, blah.
The government now has theprecedent to.
(34:18):
get rid of that.
Get rid of that.
That's fine.
Yeah, we can get rid of.
It's happening over that.
Jesus Christ, but it's not justlike the ruling was not for T
for Tech-Talk.
It was not for free speech atall.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
And this is nine to zero.
The whole thing was a mind.
Fuck thorn, a thorn in my ass.
Victoria, my thorn then.
(34:40):
everything was a thorn.
Every single thing was a thorn.
Everything else, but what I saidwas a thorn.
Like literally the whole weekwas a thorn.
Can Trump being inaugurated, bea thorn?
Totally.
Yeah.
Trumping inaugurated.
Fuck that.
But actually it was funny thathe was too cold that he had to
do it in or Tundra.
That's funny.
I think that's funny.
He's like, oh, I'm so cold.
I can't go outside and do itlike outside, I think that's so
(35:01):
funny that this entirepresidency and like his entire
PASI behind him as all supposedto be like masculinity and man
they're like manpower, but twocultures.
Don't also.
And I'm just like, actuallyThat's a release for me, the
fact that all of the.
It's hard to go and standoutside.
Waiting to see the Lord andsavior.
Yeah.
he was inside.
(35:22):
All these people traveled fromacross the country for nothing
wall Blom.
And they had to go to thecapital one arena to watch him
signs and executive orders.
Losers embarrassing.
Doug sixth birthday.
Yeah, that.
That was that was diverted.
She's almost a senior.
And now to the bud.
(35:43):
Something that will bloom, buthas not yet developed.
I think just if you will.
I don't have a bud.
I took the plan B.
I took plan B.
You don't have a bud?
No.
I took the anti baby.
And that buddy's dad.
No, but for me, I have a bud,for sure.
I can be hopeful aboutsomething.
I have hope that six o'clock.
(36:03):
That'll make a deal forTech-Talk that works for
everyone.
And that keeps the platform asit is.
Because I don't like thepessimism that it's going to
completely change and be adifferent app blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah.
The rich and powerful were goingto screw us over.
No, I have faith and takes offas a last left leaning platform
that we have that we can keepthis town hall.
That is so good for conversationand discussion and.
(36:23):
Information.
I have hope for it.
Information.
That's what everyone's scatteredoff.
I think the whole thing startedfrom the idea that we were able
to share information freely andopenly with each other on such a
mass level.
I'm learning so much.
That I never, ever would haveknown.
And it's all because of theTech-Talk.
Yep.
It's such a powerful platformand if it changes, it will ruin
(36:46):
it.
And so the hope is that it won'tchange too much.
Yes.
And with that, we leave you somehope.
Y two.
No I joined on.
And as long as Del Ray wants.
Uh, To hope is a dangerous thingfor a woman like me to have.
But I fucking got at me.
Thank you so much for tuning inOn today's episode of let's dig
(37:09):
the fuck in.
Please be sure to follow us onInstagram and Tiktaalik.
And I'm right.
As on wherever you listened to apodcast.
Five stars only.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Five stars only.
And we'll see you next time.
see on Tik TOK.
I've gotta say the last week, Idon't say this lightly.
(00:03):
Was the most stressful anxietyinducing heart palpitating
cluster.
Fuck of a week of my entirelife.
Uh, shit.
Exploding shit.
Just shit, exploding, brainrotting, hair, clumping, and
falling out Inc.
Skin.
Belting I bowl popping.
(00:24):
Tom exploding.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
That's what happens to tongues?
Week of my fucking life.
Oh, here we are on the tail.
End of what?
The only described as one of thefucking.
The week that will go down inhistory.
It was the longest year of mylife last week.
It felt like There was a spellput over the world and time was
(00:47):
going by so slowly because therewas so much happening.
I do know why.
There was a.
There was a long along a fullmoon.
It was, yeah, it was the sameperiod of time.
It's like the moon looks like itwas a fuller for longer.
It's supposed to represent likestagnancy and whatever else.
I don't like it in the universe.
Because Mrs.
Tik TOK ban.
With all encompassing.
And now as we are on the tailend of the inauguration as well,
(01:12):
there's so much going on in theworld that we are about to
fucking dig into.
So take a seat.
Take a seat, grab a knife.
Grab a fork.
No.
And I've signed enough.
You don't need anything otherthan a knife?
Don't use on yourself.
And let's dig into what wentdown last week.
(01:33):
God.
We went through trauma togetheras a society.
Yeah, the U S went throughtrauma.
The whole world was fine.
The world was fine.
They were laughing at us.
They were like, what the fuck ishappening over there?
And that janky ass country youlive in.
And we were like, I made theactive choice to live here.
We said, yeah, let's move here.
(01:54):
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Yeah, no, it's not, it's reallynot.
I don't know.
Should we do a timeline?
Should we start from thebeginning?
Yeah.
Which was last Monday.
Crazy how that feels like a yearago.
Last Monday.
It was the beginning of the weekof clusterfuck.
We woke up.
Because we knew that tick-tockabandon was happening.
When was the Supreme court thatwas Wednesday.
(02:16):
No.
When was the Supreme courthearing we went, did they have
that hearing?
Oh, they're hearing Last week,the week before.
Okay.
But Monday we were waking up andwe were like, okay, the
tick-tock ban is happening.
We were like, we know what dayis going to happen.
It's going to happen on Sunday,the 19th.
But we know the Supreme court isgoing to issue a decision maybe
who knows.
On Wednesday.
We're going to find a release,like a statement of like our
(02:37):
opinions for the week.
Yeah.
The Wednesday came and went.
And guess what?
We got nothing from those littlefucks.
And yeah, we were riddledbecause if you don't know
already, like textbook is alllike primary source of income.
We like do brand partnerships onlike multiple social platforms,
but Tik TOK is like the mostlucrative.
This girl.
Five years building a communityon this platform.
(03:00):
And so to see it.
Ripped away.
Potentially to see it this week,this past week be like just
toyed in front of us.
Like a pizza, like a piece ofmeat, pizza meat, like a piece
of meat, like bait.
Yeah, you.
I want this things that you'renot going to get it.
You might your income might bestripped away from me.
You Ooh, your business might bejust like poof, who knows?
(03:22):
Because some old fucks want to.
Want to rule in some way.
It's not just us.
It's not just us.
The like content creators of theplatform and they're on the
world.
Who we're going to see such ahit.
It's crazy to me that, to thinkthat how many there's 170
million American users on TikTOK, which make up, you think
(03:43):
that's like half of thepopulation, but it's not because
like most of the population.
There's kids in the elderlypeople who don't use the social
platform.
There's people in prison who,some of those use the platform
I've seen prison talk.
And there are rest of the 175million, which actually make up
the majority of people who canuse the platform.
That use the fucking platformand 7 million small businesses
(04:05):
that are going to be directlyaffected by this tick tock.
7 million small businesses.
The Supreme court was just like,No, I don't care about anyone.
I don't care about the coactually don't care about the
economy and don't care about howthis is going to impact
literally everyone's life.
The timeline and the timeline,the template.
And the timeline.
On Wednesday.
I was up at 7:00 AM watching thelive stream of the SCOTUS ruling
(04:28):
know what Skoda stands for.
Okay.
Cool.
Yeah.
I don't know if you knew.
And then POTUS is president.
I have Instagram.
Unfortunately.
no.
Who was Pelotas.
It's a different one.
I don't know.
Perry, the Platypus.
Who the fuck is Pelotas.
So on the timeline, I waswaiting for the Supreme court
(04:50):
ruling on Wednesday.
It didn't happen.
I was anxious that day.
No, I was still hopeful.
I think that day, I think I waslike, okay, they're waiting
until another they're there.
They're drawing this out.
They're making this.
The most horrible season finaleof the U S ever by drawing it
out to the end.
So I was hopeful still onWednesday.
I'm going in my emotions.
This is an emotional timeline.
(05:11):
Thursday.
I was.
Anxiety induced anxiety ridden.
Was I anxious on Thursday?
I dunno.
I think Thursday was the anxiousday where I was like, oh, we
are.
I was like, I'm going to cry.
We were moving towards the vanand we were like, no, one's
doing anything.
Hello government.
You want to do something?
And this is the time wherepeople like the Congress, men
and women who like actuallyvoted for the ban were like, oh
(05:34):
wait, maybe I don't want theband.
Maybe because all of the youthand the entire country are
against me right now.
Like Cory Booker and.
I'm like all these peoplethey're like, Ooh, maybe let's
think about this again.
Okay.
Don't vote for it in the firstplace.
I know it's crazy.
He's a shit crazy work piece ofshit.
I'm sorry.
And then Friday came around.
And we got the ruling.
Oh my God.
And it was nine to zero.
(05:54):
I was like, okay.
That's fine.
And what was the ruling?
A unanimous.
The face, your fucking littlepieces of shit.
What they said to us.
And I was like, huh.
Okay.
Turns out it didn't fuckingmatter.
Because all of a sudden onSaturday morning, Or maybe it
was this Friday, the tick tockCEO is like, we're going to be
(06:16):
working with chomp to.
Figure out how we can all moveforward together.
We are for, he actually saidthat we are fortunate for
president Trump during that techtalk that he put out.
We are fortunate that we have apresident lacked wasn't a
president at the time.
Look a little bitch.
I get it.
You know what?
I get it.
You know what you're trying tosave this thing.
(06:39):
Who am I to say?
How you shouldn't do it.
This literally seems like theonly way.
Yeah.
It to have been.
Whatever.
And then Saturday evening comesaround.
We like expect it to go dark bylike midnight that night.
Midnight EST.
And then there was like word onthe street that it was going to
go dark by eight 30 PT.
It was a random email fromtick-tock shop to like agencies.
(07:02):
That it was like, oh my God.
At eight 30 E S T five 30 PST,it's going to go dark.
And we were like, oh, that's inthree hours.
I thought we had until midnight.
I'm going.
No one actually said no oneactually said midnight or eight
30 or 9:00 PM.
No.
It's like a historical worldevent.
Everyone's like, where were you?
Yeah.
Second tower was hit.
Yeah.
I was on my friends.
40th birthday dinner.
(07:22):
And I went on the app and thenit said, And duck is banned in
the United States, but.
Working with president charm,but we're fortunate that
president Schomp has our backs.
God save us president.
And then I was like, you knowwhat it's happened?
And now I know it.
It was freaky.
It was freaky.
I was a mess.
No, I run into other friends andI like run to the other table.
(07:44):
I was like, look, what the fuckjust happened to them?
There was like a whole likemurmur on the, in the room about
it all in.
What.
I have a few glasses of winedown.
Let me just continue drinkingand just forget that this
happened.
And then tomorrow I can wake upand.
I dunno, doom scroll, Instagramreels.
We tried that night to scroll onboth reels and YouTube shorts.
(08:06):
YouTube trusts is a fucked.
And I've said this, and I'vesaid this, and I've said this,
and I will continue to say this.
What the fuck is YouTube?
What the fuck are you doing onthis app?
This app is one of the mostdemented, not the app itself.
The short shorts feed the mostinsane.
What the fuck?
No.
It's like weird.
It feels like what reels.
(08:29):
It's supposed to be.
Cause reels isn't is bad.
But it's not as bad.
YouTube torts feels like youopen tech talk for the first
time.
And then you get like the freshfeed.
And you can tell because of thefucking comments that you get on
Instagram.
And YouTube.
Discuss us, is it tech talkbecause tech talks algorithms.
The algorithm if they sell andthen the algorithms like, no,
(08:52):
the algorithm is going to stick.
We're going to stick.
We're going to keep thealgorithm.
This is what I mean.
I'm like, if they sell them,they don't sell the algorithm.
Then the app is fucked andruined in the.
Anyway, so it doesn't reallymatter.
I posted the same tick sock,making fun of Donald Trump.
JD Vance's official portraits.
They're not curation portraitson Tik TOK, Instagram and
YouTube charts.
TechTalk funny as fuck.
So funny, everyone is.
A fucking comedian on tech talk.
(09:13):
Cause I'm like, everyone's onthe same page.
The video is going to the samepeople.
Yes.
It's like an echo.
Whatever chamber, but it's notgoing to like Maga hats.
You posted on Instagram andYouTube shorts straight to
manga, straight to mega land.
And they're like, that's yourpresident you're talking about?
Or he looks like that becausehe's a leader and he's a man.
You hate like masculinity.
People microwaved, huh?
(09:34):
He looks like he's in amicrowave.
Yeah.
It's like he's been put in themicrowave for one and a half
minutes.
On Harvard on high.
And then whatever came out wasthis.
He's like a marshmallow.
You have you ever put amarshmallow in a microwave now?
Why the fuck would I do that?
Because, okay.
Do you know what happens withmarshmallow and microwave?
No.
You put a marshmallow.
Like Expand so much.
And then it, like when you takeit out, like implodes, he looks
(09:55):
like the imploded, like afterthe, after you've finished.
I can imagine.
It's just like a really it's areally Potent kind of burnt a
little bit shady.
Like yellow.
Yeah, exactly.
That's.
He looks like.
Yeah.
It looks very jaundice.
JD Vance looks like Miley Cyrusat the 2008 Grammys.
I don't know.
Grammy's that one?
That 1008 spooky times.
Yeah.
He also looks like someone said,he looks like.
Uh, White Walker, he looks likea demented pug.
(10:18):
Trump looks like a gender bent,Dolores Umbridge, which I live
for.
There's so many good ones, butthey put it on YouTube torts and
it's just like, That's mypresident.
I'm like not my fuckingpresident.
Yeah, I mean, You know howembarrassing that these people
anyway.
Okay.
And then on the timeline, Ithought we were going to have it
gone for at least two days untilthe inauguration.
So Saturday night I went away.
(10:39):
I thought we were going to haveat least until past noon on
Monday without Tik TOK.
Cause I didn't think it'd comeback over the weekend because I
think he'd had to make like theexecutive order, blah, blah,
blah.
But yeah, and then we got itback.
What time, just because it like2:00 PM.
Sunday at 2:00 PM.
No, it was less than that.
Really?
I think it was less than thatbecause we no, no, no, because
(10:59):
we lost it at nine.
Nine something on Saturday 6, 70 7.
It was like seven or 8:00 PM, Wehad it gone less than 24 hours.
It was like 12 hours.
Yeah, it was gone.
And I kept like I know exactlywhere Tik TOK is on my home
screen.
So I kept pressing it, like outof habit.
But I was like all of a suddenthe pop-up went away and it just
had no internet connection.
And then I was back on my feed,but there was no for you page.
(11:20):
So I was like, What's happened.
He is risen.
He has risen Hala, fucking Lula,Lupe, Lula.
what the fuck.
Are you doing?
And then the, for you page cameback, came back and I was like,
not at all.
And then the conspiracy theoriesstyle.
But I'd like to take a stepbackwards.
For a moment.
(11:40):
If you will allow, I would allowindulge.
I would indulge.
So this episode is about thetech.
Talk about if you have notalready gathered.
We're having gum.
A deep dive in, into.
Just the inner workings of ourbrains during that time.
Because our careers were fallingoff of a cliff.
As they were for many otherpeople, like a lot of the
creatives in the app.
Some of which took to take, talkto reveal.
(12:03):
Deep dark secrets that they'dbeen hob harboring the
harboring.
Yeah.
Career ending.
I will say people reallyexpected the app to go down
forever and they revealed thatdarkest secrets through a trend,
through a trend.
On Tik TOK, where they wereadmitting to basically lying to
that followers, giving thehumble, influence the bad name.
(12:24):
Fitness influences lying about.
Doing the workout, doing thatworkout.
Doing the workouts lying aboutnot having surgery.
This one.
And so who had a BBL and she waslike, Here's the secret I had to
BBL.
I don't actually have this fromworking out.
Which is wild.
That's crazy.
Bang girl, who was like, I don'tactually eat all the food that I
(12:45):
claimed to eat.
That's crazy, even though that'sher whole platform.
Did you hear about the ice cubegirl?
No, he's an ice cube.
Go.
Like people are, I don't knowwhy people about.
About ice cube.
I love the ice cube golf slide.
Cause I feel like this is likea, no, this isn't in the grand
scheme of things.
Ice cube go.
Ice cube gate is not a big deal.
Ice cube.
This girl has 20 millionfollowers or like maybe she got
(13:06):
20 million views on this, likeone tech talk.
Okay.
Restocks ice cube trays.
Oh, fru unlike.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And it makes this whole like,just so many ice cube trays, and
she puts like berries and stuff.
Yeah.
And she was like, Here's mysecret.
It's very High school, musicalstate is quo.
Like I got a secret to tell andthey're like no.
(13:27):
But yeah, that was the trendbasically.
And she was like, I don'tactually eat all of these ice
cubes.
And then everyone's like, Say itain't so ice cube girl, you lied
to us.
And then she came back on when.
Chuck was, yeah, she was like, Idon't eat them all, but like I
had some, sometimes they're likemy friends and my partner has
salmon.
We like have them on likeweekends and sometimes put them
(13:47):
in cocktails.
That is not a big deal.
Ice.
I just was spiraling becausewhen something's taken away, you
look really cherishedafterwards.
In my blissful doom scrollyesterday, I was just going down
this rabbit hole and everyonewas like, Ice cube girl sucks.
And it was like, wait a minute.
Have we just like really lostthe plot?
Because this isn't that bad.
She just made Iceland.
(14:08):
Didn't have some of them.
I know there's other thingsfine.
Other things to be angry at howis she going to have all that?
It's happening during theinauguration too.
And I'm like, please redirectyour anger elsewhere.
This is not that bad.
It is crazy.
As.
Someone whose career isconcentration and who this is
like our whole life.
like it says, if we, cause we doa lot of food, we said we don't
(14:29):
eat any of this food.
We like chew it up and then spitit out That's the dumbest career
move you can ever make.
The brain do not also have otherplatforms that people follow
you.
Which you repost your tuk-tukson shore.
All credibility.
You're an idiot.
Even if you like made it oneafterwards.
It was a joke.
It was so funny.
I'm like you ruined yourcredibility.
Yeah.
you're an idiot.
(14:50):
Idiots dumb.
And the people who also deletedtick talk from their phone, Dom.
We can talk about dumb.
We can talk about dumb in thiscountry.
We store it on inauguration.
Off of your phone, even if youthought that it was not going to
come back, why wouldn't you justkeep it for as long as you
could?
I don't know.
It doesn't make people.
The also some people I saw thatwere like, they deleted off
(15:11):
their phone because they sawother people were back on it.
So they were like, let medelete.
And then re-install the app.
To see if I can get the appback.
But it's something, someone elsebe your Guinea pig still don't
do it.
As an influencer as.
It's still not in the app store,yeah.
And it probably won't be forawhile.
Those brain cells together.
What's left of them, rubbedthem.
Rub them together.
It's crazy to me, bonkers.
(15:33):
To spark some kinds of thought.
there's no fire happening inthose brains.
So that was crazy.
They're really did feel like itwas a week.
That was a year.
And then all of a sudden it wasgone.
It was like That one clip fromSpongeBob.
If you can do the time, don't dothe crime and they walk into
jail and then the guy goes,okay, time's up?
(15:54):
They walk in and they walkstraight back out of prison.
I think it's so funny that Most,if not, all of our references
are from Tik TOK, because I sawthat exact same thing on Tik
TOK.
And I know you took thatreference from that.
And if we didn't have tech talk.
Where would I reference this?
Nope, no way.
I'm not fucking getting it fromInstagram reels.
Am I finding it was a reallyfucking traumatic time I had to
As you heard, I was drinking alot of wine inside tonight.
(16:15):
I woke up on Sunday, mildlyhungover.
And I was like there's nothing.
I'm not going to read a book.
I have had it, but I'm not goingto look at a page.
Because it's really hard tolike, imagine, Fake scenarios in
your head about your hallucinatewhilst you read into a fucking
book, reading words on a page,imagining all this things in
your brain.
It's difficult to do that whilstyou're hungover.
Totally.
Okay.
(16:35):
I'll just start a new book andI'm just like really struggling
to get into it.
Fuck.
no, this is my justification forhaving to fucking scroll on
Instagram reels.
How was it?
What did you see to heritable?
Some of the things I'll onInstagram wheels.
I'm like, what the fuck?
How does this not violatecommunity guidelines?
Yeah, I see having theircontent.
Removed from the app ofInstagram because they violate
(16:56):
community guidelines becausethey talk about this or that
censorship is real.
You guys, censorship is real,but all of a sudden, why can I
see the shaft of your penis?
Oh, Instagram.
Swing it around.
And around the video, the videosof the judges.
My patients is a lot like myInstagram algorithm than it does
(17:16):
anything, but it's fuckinginsane.
My Instagram algorithm is likemen working out or just like men
in general.
As a manager, it's just mad menin general, actually.
What is that?
What is it right now?
Cause I want to try and Provethat it's somewhat wholesome.
There are only men.
It.
There are only.
Men gay people.
Oh, there's some makeup stuff.
(17:37):
There's some makeup.
There was a man holding like aanal beads in his mouth.
They've literally alarm.
That is crazy.
That is wild.
And next day.
Like someone getting her makeupdone.
Sat.
Right.
I was like right next to that.
This makes sense.
Oh, my God Instagram'salgorithm.
I don't know how it's like.
Yeah.
Your guy you interact with oneor two gay people.
(17:59):
RedNet was a phenomenon.
You never got into it.
I got into it for a second.
And I'm off it.
I was like well, the weekstarted, everyone was
downloading red now.
And I was like, I just don'thave the time to learn Mandarin
right now.
I'm sorry.
I just don't have the, I don'thave the brain classy.
My career's on the line.
Sorry, I can't do that.
I did see some things thoughfrom Tik TOK people with
screen-sharing the algorithm onred note.
(18:20):
Really good, because as soon asI like scrolled a little bit and
then started hearing.
Hi gay.
Ah, welcome to the body shop.
No.
Not her.
She was a guest judge on yes.
Why does she get stressed?
Because she was a phenomenon.
Random one, like Vargo video.
Yeah, it was a big one for thecase.
(18:41):
It was just viral and gaze.
So funny though.
And then we got it back.
And then we've got to back andthen we got it back.
And now we have tech talk for 75days because of.
My Lord and savior, chop chomp.
Chop you saved us.
Anyone who thinks that Trumpactually saved Tik TOK is
brainless.
Domus I don't know if we need totake it back to 2020 when he
(19:04):
originally created the conceptof the Tech-Talk ban.
Hello.
The inception of the Tik TOK bancame from that like tiny little
Walnut brain inside that giantorange had, because he didn't
like the conversations that werehappening around BLM.
During that time.
Because Tik TOK was becoming ourtown hall and it was the most
liberal app.
Out of all the apps and it wasthe place that everyone could
(19:26):
share ideas and haveconversations and share
everything that was happeningwith BLM.
And he didn't like that.
If you think about the appitself, if you think about
Instagram and you think aboutother apps either.
YouTube.
Yeah, YouTube.
Yeah.
Yeah, YouTube apps.
YouTube in my mind is like a bigsearch engine just for like
videos.
Like I will type like how to dosomething or how to do that.
The tube.
Fuck ex fuck that little pieceof shit.
(19:48):
Fuck that dumb, ugly littlefucking rat man.
Fuck him.
Fuck his app.
Fuck his entire lineage.
Fuck you.
Actually not his lineage becausehis daughter is like slight
isn't.
What was he described asyesterday?
Oh It looks like the afterpicture of someone with a skin
graft and I'm not even going toget into the gesture, but he did
two times during the, the, youknow, gracious.
(20:10):
Elon Musk.
It was the most, it's the mostinsane thing.
If you are.
Someone who voted for Trump andyou're witnessing this and you
are still okay with everythingthat happened yesterday.
All of those executive ordersthat he did.
everything that happened, Elan'sdumb fucking gestures that
resembled, fascism.
(20:32):
It wasn't a hundred percent.
If you see that and you're like,huh?
That's fine.
That's fine by me because eggswill be cheap at festival and
other when you're dumb.
And they will not be cheaper orwhy.
Talk.
Thank.
Fucking God, she is going to be,how many days are they in
Trump's presidency?
Like 1000, 1,200.
(20:54):
She's like here is like myseries of 1000 times 100.
Days of Trump's presidency,where I'm going to be ranking
egg prices every single day.
To make sure to see how theychange and they're not going to
change because guess what?
Just in case you're dumb.
The president of the UnitedStates does not get to determine
the price of things.
(21:16):
And it just happens due to inflight.
There's a bird flu happeningright now.
There's a bird flu.
There's an actual edge.
I had to go on the great eggheist last week to go and find
eggs.
On a Wednesday last week, justrun around.
Two.
Multiple different stores to tryand find eggs.
And I did, and they wereexpensive and I was like, you
know what?
Beggars can't be choosers.
(21:37):
To buy a different brand that wenever bought from who the fuck
is Ben and Ben and Jerry, Idon't know.
I'm a vital farms.
Jerry, but it was Ben and Jerry.
No, it was it.
Been in Gary bedding, GaryBennett.
Terry and Terry zags orsomething crazy.
I was like, shoot here.
Were they?
Who were they?
Who these strangers in my house.
These strange white men in myhouse, all of a sudden, but I
don't know how to eat your eggs.
(21:57):
I'm going to eat your assbecause we're desperate.
Trump does not have the power tomake anything cheaper and he
will not.
And his policies have beenproven to actually make things
more expensive.
Because when you cut taxes onthe rich.
Things get more expensive at thebottom.
Even the bottom, like you.
Like your bottom half.
75%.
(22:18):
95%.
Yeah, it's a 96%.
It's a 4% the top wealthiestpeople.
the lineup of dare I say,fucking loser is behind him at
the inauguration to.
And.
What was Lauren Lauren Sanchez.
Who is her name?
Jeff Bezos is fiance.
What was she wearing?
Blazer over Abrar lap.
(22:40):
I don't know, over a bralette, Idon't know, for an inauguration.
Except bra.
It was very telling that.
If they didn't allow the spousesof most of the Congress people
to come.
The integration.
was allowed to have her.
But she was stood right behindTrump.
Yeah.
Because Jeff paizos is.
(23:00):
Sucking his fucking Dick.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Oh, this is going to be crazy.
You guys the crazy?
No, this is like a differentstage of America's devolution
and to chaos because of theoligarchs right behind Trump in
front of his cabinet, like theywere in front of his cabinet.
The oligarchs were and byoligarchs, all of Metta, Google
(23:22):
Musk.
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Our evening.
At front book, nobody's safe.
And they all donated likemillions of dollars to his
inaugural fund.
I'm like what is happening?
What is happening?
I'm scared.
He's like this presidency isjust opened the door for
everyone to just come out as.
(23:43):
Big fat racist.
And also ugly.
The two go hand in hand.
Sorry.
The more conservative.
You get the ugly irrigate.
No shit.
It's proven.
Then the more like melted youlook.
Yeah.
But at least we have ticked off.
At least we have to take talk inthe Gulf of America.
And that is a Gulf of Beijing.
That is the goal of Beijing.
(24:05):
Niihau motherfucka.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm sorry.
That is so fucking insane.
We now have to just wait and seewhat's going to happen with tech
talk, as everyone else does.
I'm.
Gonna segue into the topic ofconspiracies.
I love conspiracies put on thetinfoil.
Let's talk.
As soon as Tik TOK came back,everyone was like, It seems
(24:26):
different.
Has anyone not been able to seethe lives tab?
No one can see the tick talkshop there we're slowly rolling
out the features and people werelike the app's different.
Something's not right here, butwe like as creators, we get
emails from Tik TOK.
Like I get emails from tech docand they were like, it's going
to slowly roll out.
Like you might not see lives.
You might not.
They literally said you're notgoing to see lives and you're
(24:48):
not going to see tech doc shopfor a second.
And those were the things thatwere missing, but everyone's
they don't want us to see what'shappening in the world.
So they've taken away lives.
And even on the app store yet,like this slowly rolling things
back in, I don't think you can.
Look, I don't know why it isn'ton the app store yet.
Maybe it won't be for the next75 days.
They figure out that whateverdeal they're going to do, but
the conspiracies were crazy.
(25:09):
It's insane.
They were like Maribel.
Oh my God.
and like now, You can seebecause show Chu.
She talked in his bio.
But here's the thing people weresaying show choose.
Tik TOK, bio no longer says CEOof TechTalk and Facebook and
Instagram now have accounts onTik TOK.
That means this, that means thatturns out.
(25:31):
If you use a brain.
Just one, you don't need to useyour own.
You can just have, you can usesomeone else's.
Yeah.
There was never the word CEOwritten in.
The CEO's bio.
To begin with.
And if there is a humongousmerger like this happening.
Legally, they have to discloseit to the public.
Like it has to be either.
Can't do things like that insecret.
(25:52):
If these huge companies aremerging or if there's like legal
things happening by law, it hasto be like open to the public
because they're publicly trade.
Well, Facebook is a publiclytraded company.
Yeah.
It has to be shared.
Yeah.
And also the us does not likemonop, like regardless of what
we think about the status of theU S right now as an oligarchy,
we do not like monopoliesbecause a United explain where
(26:13):
the oligarchy to me is if I'm afucking idiot, It just means
like it's like a vegetable.
I think a root vegetable.
It means the government.
I never thought of it as a rootvegetable.
It basically means that thepower is in the hands of the
few.
So like the strings are beingpulled by the richest people in
the world.
Like the T is the businessTitans.
(26:33):
And those people are actually incharge.
So you see the government, likewe have the government and
that's technically a democraticRepublic.
that's the type of government wehave and have had.
But whenever we have anoligarchy, that's just changed
to the rich are the ones pullingthe strings.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
Oh, but the U S does not likemonopolies because United was
(26:54):
trying to merge with spiritairlines And then that got shut
down by the government becausewe do not like monopolies.
It takes away competition.
So Metta was going to buyTech-Talk.
Hey, that would have to bepublic.
Be that would go into the courtsand we would have this big,
massive fight over it.
Can't just happen.
It can happen within the spaceof 12 hours.
I just don't understand.
Because Facebook made a Tik TOKprofile.
(27:16):
And on Facebook, there werepopups saying to connect your
tick, talk, everyone with allyour brain cells said, oh, that
means metabolic tech doc.
You can have, why do you always.
You can, you could have allready, connected your Instagram
to tech talk.
Like it's just not a thing.
It's not a thing that those twoplatforms like haven't been like
in sync before.
I think we were all I thinkeveryone was in panic mode.
Like I ended up in defense ofall the conspiracy theorists.
(27:37):
Like we were in panic mode.
We were in, we were traumatized.
We were trying to makeeverything make sense in our
heads rather than like, it justcame back at everything's
normal.
That's boring.
Because also it was like, soanticlimactic, I'm like you can
leak and take it away for a bitlonger.
I was actually like starting tobe a little bit productive.
I was like, actually let me reada book.
Let me clean the house a littlebit.
Let me get my life togethersomewhat.
(27:58):
And then all of a sudden waslike, nevermind, here you go.
And then we have, and then wehave this like influx of like
sappy posts all on tech talklike we did this outage.
I know.
Hey, you guys is plump or Ms.
My little.
And I would do it again becausetakes off.
Is that important to me?
Yeah, totally.
And I will not say embarrassedthat I was sad.
No, I was sad because Tik TOKhas changed our lives.
(28:20):
Rugrats, you guys Brag roots.
No workouts.
What.
What did you say?
Now what?
Yeah.
Hey.
We are I guess when more likeshit becomes publicly known, I
guess we're going to, alldiscover it together and figure
out where we go from herebecause we have 75 days and
(28:43):
they're going to try to make abusiness deal.
Trump is going to come in andmake a business deal, make
America great again.
And we're all going to be sohappy.
The amount of like ass kissing.
That's just happening with thisfucking president is crazy to
me.
And the amount of people who arelike so thankful that he's
saved.
Tech-Talk I'm like, I don't getit.
I don't get it because I knowhistory.
And I remember what his.
(29:03):
Past presidency was like, And Iremember what happened.
Just seems to have a lot morelike, oh, it's going to be
really scary for years for sure.
That's for sure.
But it was also scary other fouryears.
Yeah, that's right.
We started off the lastpresidency with Muslim ban and
we forget about how crazy thatwas.
Like we were protesting at theairports.
Oh, my God, people wereprotesting the airports.
They were shutting down things.
We were like, making sure thisdidn't happen.
(29:25):
So we do have the power.
I think a lot of people are lessinterested in fighting back.
Because we had hired.
Yeah, we went through a lot.
We've been through trauma.
We've been through so much andnow we have to do it again.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people aregoing to be more focused on like
local things and like communitybuilding at the local level,
like working with your cities.
And working with yourcommunities and your.
(29:45):
And your towns and your likeneighborhoods.
Rather than this, these bignational things.
And I think also it's good too.
Be happy in the face of it.
They're.
Be happy in the face of itfirst.
Experienced joy in the face ofadversary.
In spite ad set adversity.
No, it's just spite everyone whowants you to be sad and angry
(30:08):
and confused.
Yeah.
Be happy.
Yeah.
Be happy for the next fouryears.
It's stressful for sure.
But put on a happy face, put ona smile.
And pretend that you're havingthe time of your life.
Because they want you to be sad.
They want you to be like, oh myGod, he's going to, he's going
to evade Greenland, how dare he,he can't do that.
Let him say what he wants.
Because I think in the firstterm we were like, don't take
(30:29):
him at his word.
Don't take them, literally takethem.
Literally this time, if he'sgoing to invade Greenland.
Let him try.
I would like to see him likereally fails.
So that's what I mean.
Cause he's going to fail.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let them try to make eggscheaper.
He's going to fail.
But let me keep my chick, Joel,my duke dog.
(30:49):
Let them make a deal for techtop bottom.
Let everything happen.
That's gonna happen.
I'm worried about.
Me, my family and my immediatecommunity family.
And the people who are, the mostat risk.
By his administration.
Yeah, which is literally most ofthe glitches, literally
everyone.
Yeah.
And then hopefully in four yearswe can all collectively.
(31:12):
Vote for Gavin Newsome forpresident.
I think back on this time as thesmall, but deadly scourge.
That it was the Tech-Talk banwas like a silent, but deadly
fart.
Oh, my God.
It was so quiet and so short,but it felt so potent.
I was posting, you know, No, Idon't know.
(31:34):
I would have never produced sucha foul odor.
I'm looking at me.
I'm a I never farted in yourlife.
Never.
Never Never.
It's just sparkles.
And rainbows from in there.
Oh my God.
Disgusting.
And to round off this episodewith a dinner table game, we're
going to play peaks and pits,otherwise known as rose and
(31:54):
thorn.
Watch.
And.
Buds.

sharing like the whipped icecoffee trend.
I was like, this is nice.
This is a nice flashback becausewe've been on the app for five

(33:37):
They have no clue about this appand all of my truly my
livelihood is in the hands.
and then it ended up being fornothing.
Like we were stressing aboutthat decision and that decision
had no consequence to anything.
And it didn't matter.
It has so much consequences.
We forget that this rulingagainst tech top is not just
(33:57):
about tech talk.
It's giving it has given thegovernment power to ban any
outfit wish basically based on.
Evidence that they might ormight not have.

everything was a thorn.
Every single thing was a thorn.
Everything else, but what I saidwas a thorn.
Like literally the whole weekwas a thorn.

I can be hopeful aboutsomething.
I have hope that six o'clock.

That'll make a deal forTech-Talk that works for
everyone.
And that keeps the platform asit is.
Because I don't like thepessimism that it's going to
completely change and be adifferent app blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah.
The rich and powerful were goingto screw us over.
No, I have faith and takes offas a last left leaning platform
that we have that we can keepthis town hall.
That is so good for conversationand discussion and.
(36:23):
Information.
I have hope for it.
Information.
That's what everyone's scatteredoff.
I think the whole thing startedfrom the idea that we were able
to share information freely andopenly with each other on such a
mass level.
I'm learning so much.
That I never, ever would haveknown.
And it's all because of theTech-Talk.
Yep.
It's such a powerful platformand if it changes, it will ruin
(36:46):
it.

Yes.
