Mom, The Internet Hates Me (Again)

Wake up, doomscrollers: The internet in 2025 moves faster than your morning coffee, and today it’s your turn in the cancellation queue. On this episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, we unpack what it means to open your phone and find your old tweets trending, your newest TikTok stitched with a sorrowful violin soundtrack, and your mom texting, “Are you okay?” (The answer is probably not.)

Join us for a wild roast of overnight redemption arcs, viral apologies, and the art of bouncing back when you’d rather just disappear into the meme void. From regretful tweets to public clapbacks, meme fame, flaming inboxes, and those catastrophic group chats—this is your crash course in surviving the digital apocalypse, one violin meme at a time.

Will you get a redemption arc or ride out your fifteen seconds as the main character in someone else’s group chat? At least, for better or worse, you’re officially internet famous. Listen in for sharp commentary, chaotic stories, and the hope that tomorrow’s trending disaster isn’t yours.

Transcript
Shaun:

Picture this, you wake up, open your phone and discover

2

:

you've been canceled overnight.

3

:

Your old tweets are trending.

4

:

Someone stitched your TikTok

with a violin sound and your

5

:

mom just texted, are you okay?

6

:

Welcome to the internet in 2025.

7

:

If you're lucky, you get a redemption arc.

8

:

If not, well at least you're a meme.

9

:

This is apocalypse and avocados.

10

:

Apocalypse and avocados.

11

:

Shaun: Welcome back to Apocalypse

and Avocados Doom Scrollers.

12

:

We are here to spiral

so you don't have to.

13

:

Today we're asking the big question.

14

:

If you haven't been canceled at

least once, are you even online?

15

:

We're diving into cancel culture,

redemption arcs, and the internet

16

:

meltdowns that keep us doom.

17

:

Scrolling at 3:00 AM I'm here with Peter.

18

:

How you doing today?

19

:

Peter: Oh, you know, just living.

20

:

How about you?

21

:

Shaun: Oh, trying to figure out

the way I'm gonna be canceled

22

:

Peter: next.

23

:

Oh God, you don't have

to worry about that.

24

:

I get canceled every other day.

25

:

It's not even that serious anymore.

26

:

It's like a joke at this point, but

you're gonna, how do you cancel someone?

27

:

Honestly, how do you cancel

someone in an age where there's

28

:

8 billion people on this planet?

29

:

Someone's bound to like you.

30

:

Shaun: Yeah.

31

:

I feel like no matter what you do, no

matter how bad it is, there's always

32

:

gonna be someone who likes you and

there's gonna people who like you for

33

:

whatever terrible thing you've done too.

34

:

Peter: Yeah.

35

:

There's always some sickos out there.

36

:

They're like, yeah, yeah.

37

:

Punch 'em in the face again.

38

:

Punch 'em in the throat.

39

:

Kick 'em.

40

:

Yeah.

41

:

There's always some sickos out

there, but yeah I don't think

42

:

it's a real thing anymore.

43

:

I think it's more like.

44

:

Something people strive for.

45

:

Shaun: Yeah I feel like it started

for the right reasons for like

46

:

community accountability and trying

to get people to strive to be better.

47

:

But what it turned into is people just

trying to hide the shit that they've done

48

:

wrong so they don't get canceled, and then

when people find out about it, they don't

49

:

give 'em a chance to redeem themselves.

50

:

Peter: I remember back in the

day when Dick pics were like the.

51

:

Thing to cancel people about just seeing

some celebrities peeing on the internet

52

:

or that he sent to someone in confidence

and then, oh my God, he's canceled.

53

:

We shouldn't be doing this anymore.

54

:

It's a cock.

55

:

We, we were all products of a cock.

56

:

It's not really that serious.

57

:

Shaun: What about with girls like

Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens

58

:

with the pictures that they,

people tried to cancel them for

59

:

Peter: Well the case of Miley Cyrus, she

was posting almost nude with her father.

60

:

That was a little weird.

61

:

Shaun: Wait I was think, I thought it

was like a selfie of her and like a bra.

62

:

That she had

63

:

Peter: No, it was her.

64

:

And like the half green dress

that was like coming off and

65

:

Billy Ray Cyrus was there.

66

:

Shaun: Okay, that's weird, but

I don't scratch Miley from that.

67

:

But the Vanessa Hudgins thing,

68

:

Peter: I don't even remember that.

69

:

The only thing I remember,

Vanessa Hudgins from the last

70

:

thing I remember her from was.

71

:

The one, the movie where she was

some like smoker or drug addict.

72

:

And she was in the cabin locked away with

73

:

Shaun: Oh yeah.

74

:

Peter: I don't remember who it was.

75

:

I

76

:

Shaun: remember that one.

77

:

That was a pretty decent movie.

78

:

I think.

79

:

I can't, if I remember correctly.

80

:

Peter: Yeah.

81

:

But she can also go through her hell face.

82

:

She was much older than

people thought she was.

83

:

Especially back in her

high school musical days.

84

:

That's

85

:

Shaun: What I was getting at with it.

86

:

She got, people gave her

so much shit for sending a.

87

:

Naked picture and she was,

oh, is that what it was?

88

:

Yeah.

89

:

Peter: I mean, she is Filipino does

she have anything worth showing off?

90

:

Shaun: It was full bush

from what I recall.

91

:

Peter: Oh, how very

eighties of her seventies?

92

:

I don't know.

93

:

Seventies was the era where

everything was like full on Afro.

94

:

Right.

95

:

Afro Thunder.

96

:

Shaun: I don't know.

97

:

I wasn't alive

98

:

Peter: where the American looks

like what do you call that?

99

:

The Brillo pad.

100

:

Shaun: I would think sixties

70, somewhere in that timeframe.

101

:

Peter: Nobody's saying that you

have to go full on weed, whack

102

:

it, but you know, it is there to

protect it from getting germs in it.

103

:

So you going to strip it off with wax

till you can look like some adolescent

104

:

fucking baby is a little weird.

105

:

It's a little weird.

106

:

Why do they, they call it a

Brazilian because it's smooth, right?

107

:

I feel like this is offensive.

108

:

Shaun: I don't know.

109

:

I've never I think my brain just

always assumed that it was because

110

:

it, it originated in Brazil,

111

:

like it was the Brazilian style of.

112

:

Peter: Of getting rid of

113

:

Shaun: or or a procedure

that originated in Brazil.

114

:

Peter: That sounds like a lot

of pain for someone in Brazil.

115

:

No one wants to go down under your sweaty

cooch after you've been stumbling all

116

:

day and rip off your entire bush, your

whole rainforest from between your legs.

117

:

No one wants to do that.

118

:

Shaun: I was trying to figure

out how I was gonna get

119

:

canceled and this episode is it,

120

:

Peter: it's really not

that serious anymore.

121

:

I'm striving for cancellation.

122

:

No, I'm really not, but

it's, and maybe I am.

123

:

I just think it's fun.

124

:

Shaun: I agree to an extent.

125

:

Like I see some people getting canceled

for the most ridiculous things,

126

:

and then sometimes you just see the

redemption arcs that they make, and

127

:

it does seem like it's worth it.

128

:

Or maybe it was for pr, but

then there are other situations

129

:

where people just get destroyed.

130

:

Peter: Yeah, there are some places in

which people deserve it, but I also

131

:

wanna point out that a lot of people are

getting uppity and they're being over

132

:

defensive and oversensitive when it comes

to like ethnicity or, oh my god, you

133

:

said a word that you can't be saying.

134

:

There is a such thing

as being over allying.

135

:

Over allying is a thing and it's on the

point of just annoyance at this point.

136

:

So it comes, it comes

off performative, right?

137

:

Shaun: It's my new favorite word.

138

:

I don't know why,

139

:

Peter: but it's like canceling was

to show a point it was to protect

140

:

a marginalized community and.

141

:

I don't feel like it is that anymore.

142

:

I think it's like, oh my God,

you said something I don't like.

143

:

So, Hmm.

144

:

X is, and I'm gonna burn out the fucking

eyes on your picture with cigarettes.

145

:

Does anyone smoke anymore nowadays?

146

:

I don't know.

147

:

That was a real question.

148

:

Everyone vapes now just smoke

the cigarettes so much more.

149

:

Satisfying.

150

:

Yeah.

151

:

Satisfying.

152

:

I wish I still smoked, but I don't

153

:

Shaun: No, you don't wish you

still smoked because I do.

154

:

You said you would quit when you

didn't want to do it anymore.

155

:

Yeah, I did.

156

:

And you quit and

157

:

Peter: now I wanna do it again.

158

:

Oh, okay.

159

:

Shaun: Well, I mean, that's

understandable in these times.

160

:

Peter: Yeah.

161

:

I can't do that because I'm fat,

so if I start smoking, I'm gonna

162

:

sound like I did when I just saw

a piece of cake and I'm like,

163

:

the sugar spiking.

164

:

Oh my God.

165

:

Shaun: On that note, let's talk

a little bit about queer internet

166

:

rules when it comes to cancellation.

167

:

Do you feel like when it comes to

people in the queer community, gay

168

:

TikTok, comedians drag queens, maybe

lesbian comedians, that there is more

169

:

of a chance for them to redeem themself

in situations where they're canceled?

170

:

Peter: Not more of a chance,

but they're definitely gonna

171

:

try harder to redeem themselves.

172

:

Shaun: I feel like they just use

self-deprecation or thirst traps and

173

:

like suddenly they're back on top.

174

:

Peter: Mm.

175

:

I don't think that's entirely true.

176

:

Maybe some of them starting to only

fans and then that's how they get back

177

:

on top in more ways than one didn't.

178

:

Yeah.

179

:

But there's just like James

Charles, he couldn't post a

180

:

thirst trap if he wanted to.

181

:

No, no one wants to see that.

182

:

No, he doesn't.

183

:

And he thinks he's being sexy

when really he looks like an

184

:

oversized fucking Barbie doll that

someone shaved their fucking head.

185

:

And like the makeup is so thick.

186

:

You know, you've seen those Barbies

where they paint the blush on where

187

:

their cheeks are like completely

different color than their flesh stones.

188

:

Shaun: Yeah.

189

:

Peter: And then he shows off

his ass, which is not good.

190

:

By the way.

191

:

You should probably talk to your doctor

who did your BBL because it's not bbl.

192

:

L.

193

:

The BBL is not bing.

194

:

No, it's fucking disgusting.

195

:

And when he used to go to Coachella,

like that was one of the things.

196

:

He went to Coachella after he

had, I don't know, talked to

197

:

about diddling little boys.

198

:

And he posted the picture

with like his assless chaps.

199

:

Shaun: Ugh.

200

:

Yeah, I remember that picture.

201

:

It was not cute.

202

:

Peter: And the tie-dye thing,

whatever it was that like a jumpsuit.

203

:

Was that a ones onesie?

204

:

I don't know what.

205

:

It's all of the above.

206

:

When something goes up your

ass like that, it must smell.

207

:

It's not that it would smell.

208

:

Doesn't that fucking,

isn't it uncomfortable?

209

:

Well, that too, if you fart.

210

:

Does it like it whistle?

211

:

Yeah.

212

:

Does it whistle?

213

:

That would be interesting.

214

:

Shaun: It's like when you have a

paper in front of a fan, it's like,

215

:

Peter: yes.

216

:

Like when you have the clothes

pin and the tire of your bike.

217

:

Shaun: Yes, exactly.

218

:

What does that sound,

sorry, James Farted again?

219

:

Yeah,

220

:

Peter: I don't know.

221

:

They, I don't think it's

easier for them to come back.

222

:

I think they, they definitely

try harder than most people.

223

:

Lindsay Lohan got canceled years

and years ago, and look at her.

224

:

She came back, dissolved her

feller, and she looks like a

225

:

completely different person.

226

:

That girl can act good

for her, good for her.

227

:

That woman can act.

228

:

She was like the prodigy

of our generation.

229

:

Shaun: I loved her.

230

:

I was so obsessed with

her when I was younger.

231

:

Just everything about her from her acting

to her music, and I know she wasn't the

232

:

best singer or anything, but it was just.

233

:

It was very authentic in my

opinion, and it was very her.

234

:

I don't know.

235

:

I wish that she didn't get

canceled or didn't disappear for

236

:

so long, but I'm glad she's back.

237

:

Peter: Yeah, they tried to cancel her

because there, when she was with the

238

:

French guy and she was looking through

his phone on the beach, she like

239

:

grabbed his phone and they caught it

on camera and she was going through a

240

:

phone and he ripped it away from her.

241

:

Oh yeah.

242

:

Come on.

243

:

He was clearly doing

something very promiscuous.

244

:

But then again, if you've ever

watched Emily in Paris, they take

245

:

mistresses and their love is love.

246

:

So whatever.

247

:

I don't think that people deserve other

people saying anything about their life.

248

:

Yeah.

249

:

Or, or who they fuck.

250

:

And you shouldn't really

get canceled for anything.

251

:

It's none of our fucking business,

just because they're celebrities

252

:

and they're in the public light.

253

:

It doesn't mean that we come to

their defense every single time.

254

:

They're humans.

255

:

We just see what they do.

256

:

That's it.

257

:

Yeah, exactly.

258

:

There are a million other people that do

exactly the same thing, but just be go

259

:

unnoticed, so you gotta cancel everyone.

260

:

Shaun: And that with that said,

that's that's for certain things.

261

:

That's not for diddling

kids or killing people.

262

:

That's like,

263

:

Peter: yeah.

264

:

That's not for James Charles.

265

:

Shaun: Yeah, It's for other things.

266

:

Yeah.

267

:

Like maybe you cheated on someone and

that's not a good thing to do, but okay.

268

:

You can come back from that.

269

:

Peter: Yeah I don't condone it, but

you can come back from killing someone.

270

:

Just look at what happened with Brandy.

271

:

Okay.

272

:

Good

273

:

Shaun: point.

274

:

Good point.

275

:

Okay let's rephrase that.

276

:

Going on a murder spree or something

like intentionally murdering someone,

277

:

that's not necessarily something that

we're saying, oh, just let the person

278

:

redeem themself from right away.

279

:

Peter: No, no one should

redeem themselves from that.

280

:

But people have, look at it, , when they

made the documentary slash series on

281

:

Dahmer, did they not make it seem like

he was like a hypersexual being like made

282

:

him more appealing to the general public.

283

:

, There should not be these documentaries

on people that have murdered other people.

284

:

Is that how you saw him?

285

:

I, he was definitely more attractive

than what he really was in real life.

286

:

That's just 'cause of the actor.

287

:

Yeah, but it's fan people

make it as a fantasy thing.

288

:

Shaun: Okay if y'all are weird

I'm not fantasizing about someone

289

:

drilling into my fucking skull.

290

:

We're not talking about

trying to make a zombie.

291

:

Peter: We're not talking about the

act, we're talking about the character.

292

:

They made him more desirable than

he was in real life, maybe I don't,

293

:

they paint a different picture.

294

:

It's really not that serious anyway.

295

:

Shaun: I don't know.

296

:

I didn't see it.

297

:

I didn't see the sex appeal.

298

:

How about corporate hypocrisy?

299

:

How about that?

300

:

How about canceling brands?

301

:

How do you feel about that?

302

:

Peter: I feel like it's pointless.

303

:

They have so much money.

304

:

What are you gonna do?

305

:

You're gonna boycott Target because they

didn't have the LGBT collection this year.

306

:

Oh, boo fuck Fuckity who like,

seriously they, it's not affecting them.

307

:

It's not imposing any

enacting any real change.

308

:

Shaun: Actually on that topic I

just saw today that because Target

309

:

cut their DEI initiatives and

stopped supporting the L-G-B-T-Q.

310

:

They saw a 17% decrease in profits, which

led to a 27% decrease in their stock

311

:

value, and their CEO had to step down.

312

:

So while it's not something that's

massive, they are being impacted

313

:

because their main, they just

decided to alienate one of their main

314

:

target group, one of their target.

315

:

Peter: So.

316

:

Okay, that's great and all,

but you're talking about

317

:

canceling these major brands.

318

:

What happens if this is the only

fucking store in the middle of

319

:

nowhere, like the middle of nowhere

and you, or the only store you have

320

:

to shabb at is Kroger's and you're

gonna cancel them because they didn't

321

:

have the kind of beef that you want.

322

:

So you're gonna protest and what

you're gonna drive to the next

323

:

fucking county to go shopping.

324

:

Shaun: Okay.

325

:

That's, you're right.

326

:

That does seem a bit much,

327

:

Peter: you're not gonna get them canceled.

328

:

No.

329

:

I understand why people do

that, but like it's overzealous.

330

:

You're never gonna get them canceled.

331

:

And what exactly constitutes

cancellation now?

332

:

Shaun: Yeah I'd like to know that too,

because I feel like it's just snowballed

333

:

into something that it wasn't before.

334

:

Peter: Yeah, it's, I don't know.

335

:

I don't understand what it is

there's no specific, it is very,

336

:

it's got a lot of gray area.

337

:

It does canceling cancellations used to be

just like completely boycotting the person

338

:

and not allowing them to continue acting

or modeling or making money at that point.

339

:

Now it's about, oh, we don't

like you, so we're gonna talk

340

:

shit about you on the internet.

341

:

Yeah.

342

:

And hope that everybody

just joins on the bandwagon.

343

:

But that's not the case.

344

:

It isn't the case.

345

:

It's really impossible to quote

unquote, cancel someone nowadays.

346

:

Shaun: I completely agree.

347

:

I think that it's, it

just gets so outta hand.

348

:

It was once about holding people

accountable, like we said, and then

349

:

it just became about talking shit.

350

:

Peter: Yeah, these keyboard worries.

351

:

Like you can say whatever the fuck you

want about me, and you can sit there

352

:

and you can punch away at that keyboard.

353

:

But at the end of the day, you still

live in your parents' basement.

354

:

You're probably jerking off to the fact

that you think you did some sort of

355

:

profound thing by writing that post.

356

:

And it's just sad.

357

:

It's sad,

358

:

Shaun: and you're keeping me employed.

359

:

Thank you.

360

:

Peter: Right.

361

:

Every single time that you take

one of those keyboard strokes and

362

:

you write something negative, you

are just making the person more

363

:

popular that you're writing about.

364

:

Shaun: Yeah.

365

:

Do you have any confessions from

near cancellation moments or

366

:

anytime you tried to cancel someone?

367

:

Peter: I don't try to cancel anyone.

368

:

They cancel themselves.

369

:

There's no point.

370

:

Touche.

371

:

They do.

372

:

There's no point in exerting energy

on somebody that really won't

373

:

matter at the end of the day.

374

:

Shaun: Yeah.

375

:

I can remember having a few too many

drinks while watching Drag Race and

376

:

tweeting out my opinions, and then the

next day thinking to myself, oh shit.

377

:

After seeing some angry messages

from other fans back to me

378

:

maybe I won't do that again.

379

:

Peter: Yeah, your opinions are

your opinions, and you're more

380

:

than welcome to voice them, and

I think that people need to stop

381

:

being so fucking sensitive about it.

382

:

And it's not really impacting you.

383

:

It's not the only person

that it's impacting is the

384

:

person that it's directed at.

385

:

I agree.

386

:

And that's not okay.

387

:

But if you can't take it, why the

fuck are you trying to become famous?

388

:

If you can't take it, you're not just like

the eyes of your 30,000 followers that

389

:

you have on whatever social platform you

have it on, you are now on a global stage.

390

:

Yes.

391

:

You cannot have this wimpy,

blasted, thin ass membrane of skin.

392

:

You really can't.

393

:

You need to grow up and you need to

grow a thick skin and get a really

394

:

good public relations consultant.

395

:

Shaun: Definitely that.

396

:

But it's like when you see people

go on competition shows of any kind

397

:

and they get upset for the critique

they're getting and they say I don't

398

:

care what they say, or I don't need to

prove myself to, no, you actually do.

399

:

You literally signed up for that.

400

:

That's what you signed up for.

401

:

Yeah.

402

:

You signed up to be judged.

403

:

You absolutely

404

:

Peter: did.

405

:

Shaun: And to have to prove

yourself to these people.

406

:

That is what you wanted to do.

407

:

Peter: Yeah.

408

:

I don't think that people should be

canceled for that, and especially

409

:

the judge like that is what they did.

410

:

They signed the paperwork and

you're there to be judged.

411

:

Shaun: Exactly.

412

:

Exactly.

413

:

You may not

414

:

Peter: like the way that they're doing

it, but that's what they signed up for.

415

:

You can't get all defensive for them.

416

:

You can't try and cancel somebody.

417

:

You're ruining their life.

418

:

You're ruining their life.

419

:

They didn't ruin that other person's life

because now they look like the victim.

420

:

Yeah.

421

:

Shaun: Alright.

422

:

I've got a quick game for you.

423

:

Peter: Okay.

424

:

Okay.

425

:

Shaun: So we're gonna play this game.

426

:

I'm gonna read you a scenario and

I want you to, it's apologies.

427

:

I want you to tell me if

they are real or fake.

428

:

Bonus points, if you can guess

who used them, if they were real.

429

:

Peter: Okay.

430

:

Shaun: All right.

431

:

We'll start with this one.

432

:

I was young, dumb, and full of um, bad.

433

:

Peter: Was I wrong?

434

:

Shaun: Yes.

435

:

You were wrong in this situation.

436

:

I was young, dumb, and

full of bad opinions.

437

:

I've learned and I'm

ready to move forward.

438

:

Peter: Was that Lord?

439

:

No, that one was fake.

440

:

Oh, that's sad.

441

:

It sounds like every fucking

half-ass apology that.

442

:

Someone makes.

443

:

Yeah.

444

:

Like any celebrity

445

:

Shaun: makes, how about this one?

446

:

There is no excuse for my ignorance.

447

:

I was wrong then and I'm

still learning today.

448

:

I'm committed to growth and doing better.

449

:

That is real.

450

:

Yes it is.

451

:

And I think it was Ariana Grande.

452

:

It may have been.

453

:

There's been many people who have used it.

454

:

Specifically influencers.

455

:

Including beauty YouTubers

like Laura Lee and Manny, MUA.

456

:

Peter: Hmm.

457

:

I don't even remember any scandals

that Manny, MUA was involved in.

458

:

Shaun: Me either.

459

:

So clearly you can come back I sometimes

forget that he was even like big.

460

:

Peter: I mean, did he is big again,

but did somebody what was the scandal?

461

:

Did he shove a mascara in his

ass that was like, designer?

462

:

I don't get it.

463

:

I don't know.

464

:

We'll have to look

465

:

Shaun: that up.

466

:

Peter: Yeah, he painted his

asshole the wrong shaded of blush.

467

:

That was the scandal.

468

:

Oh my God.

469

:

Shaun: How about this one?

470

:

My behavior was unacceptable.

471

:

Full stop.

472

:

I have taken time off to

reflect and educate myself.

473

:

I'm grateful for those who called me out.

474

:

Peter: I don't know.

475

:

It sounds real, it sounds

like it could be Pauline.

476

:

Anyone remember her?

477

:

She used a bad word.

478

:

Yeah, she did.

479

:

I don't know.

480

:

It's real.

481

:

Shaun: Yeah.

482

:

That one is real.

483

:

It was Kevin Hart.

484

:

Oh God.

485

:

On several TikTok apology tours.

486

:

Peter: He is so tiny.

487

:

He reminds me of a dildo.

488

:

He's so small.

489

:

Shaun: Oh my God.

490

:

All right, how about this one?

491

:

I didn't realize my jokes about

cats could be seen as offensive.

492

:

I love cats.

493

:

I'm sorry to anyone who was hurt.

494

:

Peter: That's

495

:

Shaun: fake.

496

:

Yes, that was fake.

497

:

Peter: That's fake.

498

:

And that was Vance.

499

:

Probably would've said

that about Taylor Swift.

500

:

A lonely Catwoman.

501

:

Oh my God.

502

:

He does his eyeliner like a cat.

503

:

I feel like it's tattooed on.

504

:

No.

505

:

Tattoo artist would touch him.

506

:

He looks really weird.

507

:

Shaun: Yeah, eh.

508

:

Anyway, how about this one?

509

:

Please stop bringing up the past.

510

:

I already apologized and continuing

to harass me helps no one,

511

:

Peter: right?

512

:

It sounds

513

:

Shaun: real.

514

:

It is.

515

:

We have talked about this person tonight.

516

:

Peter: Oh, James Charles?

517

:

Yes.

518

:

It's half-assed and his ass is half-ass.

519

:

It's fucking disgusting.

520

:

Please don't look it up.

521

:

Save yourself the retinal scarring.

522

:

Shaun: Okay.

523

:

How about

524

:

I deeply regret the language I used.

525

:

It was wrong, and I want to

apologize to the communities I hurt.

526

:

I will do better.

527

:

Peter: No, that sounds stupid.

528

:

The language they use, unless

they said a racial slur, people

529

:

need to get less sensitive.

530

:

Shaun: So I know the

backstory to this one.

531

:

This was real.

532

:

This is Lizzo apologizing for

lyrics that she put in her song.

533

:

Apparently there was a song that she had

released and she used the lyrics, and I'm

534

:

quoting this for purpose of the story,

so please do not get offended by it.

535

:

She said spazz.

536

:

Oh God, I remember that.

537

:

Yeah.

538

:

So someone felt it was, could

be used as a derogatory term

539

:

for people who have spasms.

540

:

Peter: So she changed.

541

:

I'm having a spasm right now,

542

:

Shaun: so she changed the

543

:

Peter: lyrics.

544

:

That's fucking stupid.

545

:

Shaun: Do you wanna talk

about some of your favorite

546

:

cancellations over the years?

547

:

I can't really remember any.

548

:

One of, I would say the Queen of

cancellations is Tricia Pettis.

549

:

Oh God.

550

:

She's constantly getting canceled

and just like coming back somehow

551

:

Peter: she reminds me.

552

:

Of what's his name?

553

:

Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

554

:

My God, if you shaved her bald, she

would look like him, shaved her bald

555

:

and filed down like one of her teeth.

556

:

Oh God.

557

:

She, she looked like Gollum.

558

:

Shaun: Yeah, I can see it.

559

:

I can definitely see that.

560

:

Peter: Yeah.

561

:

I don't understand her at all.

562

:

I remember when she used to be friends

with Shane Dawson back in the day and

563

:

they used to do halls together, but

I've stopped caring about Trisha Paint.

564

:

That's a long time ago.

565

:

Shaun: What about Shane Dawson?

566

:

Shane Dawson got canceled too.

567

:

Peter: Yeah, his was a

little bit, it was warranted.

568

:

Yeah, that was a bit cray.

569

:

He was like pretending to jerk

off to Willow Smith, right?

570

:

Shaun: Yeah.

571

:

When she was way under age.

572

:

Peter: But also he used to,

he did the twilight spoof.

573

:

Remember where he was

drinking the period blood.

574

:

Oh my

575

:

Shaun: god.

576

:

Peter: Yeah.

577

:

Yeah.

578

:

I do remember that now.

579

:

He always did inappropriate

shit like that one.

580

:

It was it was a little far,

but yeah, it was not warranted.

581

:

Shaun: How about Doja cat?

582

:

Peter: She tried to self cancel.

583

:

Shaun: Yeah.

584

:

And she did double down

on it and it didn't.

585

:

She like quadrupled down on it.

586

:

Peter: I think she was trying

to prove a point that cancel

587

:

culture is not a real thing.

588

:

Shaun: Yeah.

589

:

And she was right.

590

:

Did you see the recent one

about the kid with the shirt?

591

:

Mm-hmm.

592

:

So apparently some guy gave her, she

saw some fan outside of a club and

593

:

told him that she loved his shirt

and he gave her the shirt and then.

594

:

She posted something online about, she

threw out that crusty, disgusting, smelly

595

:

shirt or something along those lines, and

people were giving her shit for a while.

596

:

Peter: Yeah, you should probably

keep that shit to yourself oh yeah.

597

:

I got something on it so

I had to throw it out.

598

:

Unfortunately.

599

:

Don't, yeah, don't say you took his

cresty cu covered fucking stained shirt

600

:

and threw it out like You're rude.

601

:

You're rude.

602

:

I hate the way she draws

her eyebrows on too.

603

:

Shaun: They're just lines.

604

:

When did super skinny eyebrows

come back into fashion?

605

:

Peter: They should have stayed right out

of fashion 'cause that was a nineties

606

:

trend and it looked horrendous then.

607

:

And for her to draw her

Betty boot brows on.

608

:

For those of you who don't know who Betty

Boop is, you should probably look it up.

609

:

And you will see a striking

resemblance to Joe, a cat.

610

:

She is she's like a blonde Betty.

611

:

Boop.

612

:

I can see it.

613

:

Not as fun though, and swears a lot more.

614

:

Shaun: While we're on the topic

of cancellations, let's talk about

615

:

something that kind of goes hand in

hand with the internet, meltdowns.

616

:

Do you have any favorite internet

meltdowns that you've witnessed?

617

:

Peter: Mm, no.

618

:

I feel like fucking Trump

does one every other day.

619

:

Shaun: Yes,

620

:

Peter: absolutely.

621

:

Has a meltdown over absolutely nothing.

622

:

His hands are really small.

623

:

I've said this before, they, I am

still stuck on this tiny hands.

624

:

How does he reach all of the keys?

625

:

How does he jerk off with that?

626

:

Does it make it look bigger?

627

:

Sorry.

628

:

Bunch of questions.

629

:

Sorry.

630

:

Yeah, I feel like he melts down every day.

631

:

It's not really my favorite.

632

:

It's just recycled bullshit every day.

633

:

I can't recall any other meltdowns.

634

:

I know Rihanna was the

queen of clap backs.

635

:

Shaun: Yeah.

636

:

I miss her clap back.

637

:

She's calmed down quite

a bit on the internet.

638

:

Peter: She doesn't feel the need

to defend herself anymore because

639

:

she says she's a billionaires.

640

:

Shaun: Yeah, so how about what

makes a good meltdown for you?

641

:

What is the anatomy of a meltdown for you?

642

:

For me, it involves like a really

vague post, a whole subtweet

643

:

or Subpost war going on beneath

it, and then weeks of drama.

644

:

Peter: It would be great if somebody

like the whole Leave Britney alone kid.

645

:

That was a internet meltdown, but

that wasn't like, that wasn't a right.

646

:

I believe her name is Kara Cunningham now.

647

:

I don't know.

648

:

She's fucking hideous either way.

649

:

But yeah, that was an internet meltdown.

650

:

I just, I feel like people that are.

651

:

They get on there and they just

completely humiliate yourself when the

652

:

celebrities are probably gonna look

at it and fucking cringe the ones in

653

:

tears and the mascara running down.

654

:

And yeah, that's a meltdown where you

just completely defend a person and

655

:

you don't even know the whole context.

656

:

Like with the whole Pierre and Nikki thing

he just came out, Nikki just cleared the

657

:

air as to what happened between them.

658

:

Shaun: Oh, I didn't even know that.

659

:

Peter: Yeah, detail.

660

:

So apparently they were having

problems way before they

661

:

decided to even get married.

662

:

And they got married so that they

would have a thing that was just

663

:

them and it wasn't public, and they

thought it would help, or Nikki

664

:

thought it would be good for them.

665

:

So they did it on a whim.

666

:

And then TMZ, the cover broke where

they had gotten married and suddenly

667

:

it wasn't private for them anymore.

668

:

Apparently Pierre was just really selfish

and he just spent money frivolously and

669

:

Nikki was trying to build a life for them.

670

:

And then he got really pissed, I

guess Pierre got really pissed at

671

:

Nikki and posted the TikTok saying

that we ended it, or the tweet.

672

:

Before even consulting

with Nikki, so Oh shit.

673

:

Yeah.

674

:

And then left him to deal

with the repercussions.

675

:

Shaun: Oh, wow.

676

:

So all the brands that they had

to, had deals with and stuff.

677

:

Peter: Yeah.

678

:

And then apparently he

lied about his age too.

679

:

Okay.

680

:

He

681

:

Shaun: is a lot older

than he people thought.

682

:

I have no idea.

683

:

I

684

:

Peter: didn't read that story yet,

but apparently he lied about his age.

685

:

So yeah.

686

:

I think that the people that

went after Nikki were just.

687

:

Assholes.

688

:

Shaun: Yeah, that makes sense.

689

:

And I think that the biggest

internet meltdown that I can

690

:

think of would be Britney Spears.

691

:

Yeah.

692

:

Back in 2007

693

:

Peter: now.

694

:

Shaun: Well, yeah.

695

:

Actually.

696

:

Geez.

697

:

Whoa.

698

:

I wasn't even thinking.

699

:

Yeah, now the knives.

700

:

The knives, what is

going on with the knives?

701

:

Peter: It's not just that.

702

:

Before, why the fuck

did she shave her head?

703

:

Was that the drugs, did she think she

had wasps in her brain or something

704

:

that she was like, she had so much lice?

705

:

Shaun: My theory back then, and I've

heard that this is a popular theory

706

:

in some places, is that she was

trying to avoid a drug test where

707

:

they were gonna do a hair follicle.

708

:

Peter: She was trying to

avoid a drug test, so she made

709

:

herself the chick from splice.

710

:

Shaun: Essentially

711

:

Peter: the alien from Splice.

712

:

Shaun: But then I've heard other

things where it was like in her

713

:

contract or whatever she had that she

had to have her hair a certain way.

714

:

So that was like a rebellion

against her conservatorship

715

:

or whatever she had going on.

716

:

So I don't know.

717

:

I don't know the whole story behind

it, but there's so many theories.

718

:

Peter: I don't know.

719

:

I think it was stupid.

720

:

She looked crazy.

721

:

She looked like some sort of hob

goblin, especially when she cracked the

722

:

paparazzi's windshield with the umbrella

and they got that, that famous photo.

723

:

Shaun: Oh my God.

724

:

Yeah.

725

:

That was, that's probably

the epitome of a meltdown.

726

:

Peter: You know what she looks like?

727

:

She looked like the when in the matrix,

when they finally unlock your brain.

728

:

And you get sucked out of that

little egg pod thing like Neo did.

729

:

And he had the thing where he

pulled the breathing tube out and

730

:

he had no eyebrows and no hair.

731

:

Oh my God.

732

:

That's what she looked

like I for, I forgot.

733

:

Shaun: That's what he looked like.

734

:

Peter: Someone just unlocked

her brain and not in a good way.

735

:

They used chemical substances, so

she was go grilling on people's cars.

736

:

Oh, so many times that she

had her frigging vagina.

737

:

Uch.

738

:

Yeah.

739

:

Shot by the paparazzi so many times.

740

:

She was like the queen of that.

741

:

Shaun: Yes, absolutely.

742

:

Peter: It was terrible.

743

:

Oh, didn't Nisha Barton have a

huge meltdown back in the day?

744

:

Oh, there's a name I haven't

heard in a very long time.

745

:

I don't know.

746

:

I think she was trying to copyright

her name or something like that.

747

:

Shaun: I remember that.

748

:

That I remember.

749

:

And they basically told her, fuck no.

750

:

Peter: Yeah, there's too

many people with that name.

751

:

You can't copyright it.

752

:

What the hell?

753

:

The last thing I remember from her

was the movie with the Dolphins.

754

:

It was, why does that sound familiar?

755

:

I, she could communicate with the

Dolphins telepathically or something.

756

:

Maybe I'm getting my movies interesting.

757

:

I remember it had a dolphin though.

758

:

I can't picture her

759

:

Shaun: in a role like that, but I'm

here for it, w Let's talk a little

760

:

bit about how people's spirals

online can actually be a good thing.

761

:

Sometimes, like when we think about

movies and stuff, like Barbie, mm-hmm.

762

:

Conservatives came for Barbie so

hard and all it did was amplify

763

:

the desire for people to go see it.

764

:

It just gave people more and more.

765

:

Oomph to say, you know what,

I'm gonna go see it five times.

766

:

And they ended up doing like 1.4

767

:

billion.

768

:

And so controversy really

can just like fuel anything.

769

:

It can be good or bad.

770

:

Peter: Yeah, it can be, the whole

freaking thing with this ridiculous

771

:

dictator of a president where he was

talking about all the sex scandals

772

:

and the Stormy Daniels thing.

773

:

It really just made him more

popular, especially with the freaking

774

:

white people with tiny hands.

775

:

Shaun: Oh yeah, absolutely.

776

:

They're

777

:

Peter: suddenly a

778

:

Shaun: minority.

779

:

Anything to make, give them

something to fucking complain about.

780

:

Peter: Yeah they're always complaining.

781

:

The Barbie movie was

a little weird for me.

782

:

It was

783

:

Shaun: very

784

:

Peter: strange.

785

:

Shaun: The first, I would say,

10 minutes of it had me like,

786

:

what the fuck am I watching?

787

:

Peter: It was like an acid

trip when you're watching it.

788

:

It was so colorful and

everyone was so cheerful.

789

:

Shaun: Hi Barbie,

790

:

Peter: and it looks like you could just

throw some napalm there and everything

791

:

would just melt and be terrifying.

792

:

Like remember the movie Toy Soldiers?

793

:

Yes.

794

:

I

795

:

Shaun: loved that movie

796

:

Peter: when they, at the end of the

movie where they're fighting all the

797

:

little Barbies that are in there and

they're all like melted and stuff.

798

:

Shaun: I forgot they

recruited the Barbies.

799

:

Peter: Yeah.

800

:

That's what it would remind me

of if somebody like dropped acid

801

:

and then watched that movie,

everything would melt in there.

802

:

It would be really, it's a

weird movie, especially with

803

:

the showering with no water.

804

:

And the walking outta the shower

the feet that are up at an angle.

805

:

Shaun: That was so strange.

806

:

I will agree.

807

:

When I saw her feet like that, I

thought to myself, oh, and obviously

808

:

I know her feet aren't actually like

that in real life, but it was just

809

:

I don't know, jarring, to look at.

810

:

Peter: And maybe that's what

the conservatives were getting

811

:

mad about because their feet

weren't shaped like that.

812

:

Shaun: I want my feet shaped like Barbies.

813

:

Peter: Yeah.

814

:

MGT has the fucking crazy hammer

toes and she could never get

815

:

her feet to look like that.

816

:

Shaun: Oh my gosh.

817

:

Do you remember when that we had another

double feature because that was released

818

:

with Heimer and there was all of that

chaos on the internet where they were

819

:

mashing them together and stuff, and the

Barb Inheimer ads and stuff like that.

820

:

But what do you remember when Mama

Mia too and Mission Impossible

821

:

Fallout came out together?

822

:

Peter: I don't remember Mission

Impossible, fallout 'cause I

823

:

try and avoid Tom Cruise because

it reminds me of a pelican.

824

:

I remember Mama Mia too.

825

:

Everyone was so pissed that Meryl

Streep wasn't in it if you actually

826

:

watch it, the whole storyline does make

sense and is actually pretty heartfelt.

827

:

But they were like tearing

it to pieces because.

828

:

It came out at the same time and the

original one came out at the same

829

:

time as the original avatar and people

couldn't get into the movie theater

830

:

to see Avatar, so they were gonna see

Mama Mia, and that's the reason that

831

:

they thought that it did so well.

832

:

Oh, really?

833

:

Yeah, because it, people really

couldn't get into Avatar to see it,

834

:

so they were just taking what they

thought would be the next best thing.

835

:

Oh, wow.

836

:

So I believe, don't you

can quote me on that.

837

:

I think it was Avatar, but I, yeah,

I'm like 90% sure it was Avatar.

838

:

But yeah, that's why it performed so well.

839

:

So they were like, why did they

even make a fucking second part?

840

:

Like the first one wasn't that good?

841

:

Shaun: I liked it.

842

:

I liked them.

843

:

I thought they were good.

844

:

They got me into musicals.

845

:

Peter: Yeah, I like them.

846

:

I like 'em a lot.

847

:

They're very bubbly and fun, but

which are not two things that I

848

:

generally put together in a sentence.

849

:

But yeah, that those are fun.

850

:

I love Amanda Cipher.

851

:

Yeah, she's really good in that one.

852

:

Her husband in that

movie did not age well.

853

:

Shaun: No.

854

:

But he was so hot in that movie.

855

:

Peter: He could play Quasimoto now.

856

:

It would look pretty accurate.

857

:

Really sad.

858

:

Oh my God.

859

:

Yeah, I can see 'em saying Sanctuary.

860

:

Sanctuary,

861

:

bringing their church bell.

862

:

Yeah.

863

:

Or Shrek.

864

:

Yeah.

865

:

Live action.

866

:

Shrek the nose.

867

:

Shaun: It's just the nose, the noses.

868

:

I thought that I was losing my mind

reading Barbie think pieces, but

869

:

apparently the gay internet will

implode over things like oat milk.

870

:

Really?

871

:

So I've heard that people are canceling

each other over coffee orders and.

872

:

All kinds of crazy bullshit.

873

:

Peter: I would cancel someone

over their coffee order.

874

:

And here's why.

875

:

When you go to Starbucks, Starbucks,

okay, and you proceed to tell the

876

:

barista how to make your coffee

down to the amount of pumps that go

877

:

into it, you deserve to be canceled.

878

:

You deserve to be stoned.

879

:

You are a shithole of a person.

880

:

Don't do it.

881

:

It's ridiculous.

882

:

Starbucks is made to order.

883

:

If you want an extra pump of sweetener

in it, just say that and it would like

884

:

a little bit more sweetener, but you

don't get to go in and then I want this

885

:

milk subtly, but ferociously heated

so that the bubbles burn my fucking

886

:

eyes when the vapors pop and they go.

887

:

In my eyes, the coffee

should be a exactly a 92

888

:

Shaun: degrees.

889

:

Peter: And 12 pumps of caramel

and one pump of chocolate swirl.

890

:

57 pumps of lavender syrup.

891

:

Baby queefs and tears of

a unborn child, fetus.

892

:

I don't know.

893

:

You shouldn't be going in

and doing that stupid shit.

894

:

You deserve to be canceled

and kicked in the clay.

895

:

Oh my god.

896

:

That's it.

897

:

I hate when you go in and you get those

people too, like when you're in the drive

898

:

through line for it and you're sitting

there and you're waiting because this

899

:

person has this ridiculous concoction

that's in front of you that looks

900

:

like they're performing alchemy and

you have to wait an extra 20 minutes.

901

:

You deserve to be canceled.

902

:

You deserve to be canceled.

903

:

How many times have I wanted to ram a

fucking car through the drive through?

904

:

Because your coffee

order was so difficult.

905

:

Shaun: Yeah it should not be

that hard to order a coffee.

906

:

Peter: I will say this Dunking Donuts

I understand as the coffee is awful.

907

:

So you have to add the 17 million

additives that you do and swirl it

908

:

while jumping on your leg three times

in a circle and throwing salt over your

909

:

shoulder just to make it taste good.

910

:

Mm-hmm.

911

:

Yeah that I understand.

912

:

That's not real.

913

:

Yeah, it's not real coffee.

914

:

It is dirty sock water.

915

:

Mm-hmm.

916

:

That has been squeezed through a

cheesecloth and has been presented

917

:

to you in this half-ass fucking cup.

918

:

With the ugliest Crayola colors on it.

919

:

Shaun: You know what they're,

why they picked them, right?

920

:

What the colors for Dunking?

921

:

Peter: No.

922

:

Shaun: So when I was in high school,

we had marketing executives come

923

:

in and talk to us who one of them

worked for Dunking at one point.

924

:

And the orange and the pink from what

they told us were picked because pink

925

:

makes you think of something sweet and

orange makes you think of something cheap.

926

:

So it's supposed to make you

immediately think sweet and cheap.

927

:

Peter: The pink makes me think

of white women's nipples.

928

:

I was gonna say Pepto-Bismol.

929

:

No.

930

:

And like the pig nipples, the white

women's pig nipples that are that color.

931

:

And the areola that takes

up the, a whole breast.

932

:

The one where it's like the

bread and butter plate size.

933

:

And then the orange makes

me think of Donald Trump.

934

:

So this is just terrible fucking coffee.

935

:

It's not even coffee.

936

:

You can't call that swell coffee.

937

:

Shaun: I used to drink it.

938

:

I can't anymore.

939

:

I really can't.

940

:

Sorry to anyone who loves it,

but it's not my cup of tea

941

:

Peter: or coffee.

942

:

It's not a cup of coffee either.

943

:

Shaun: Yeah.

944

:

It's neither for me.

945

:

It's neither here nor there.

946

:

I don't want it.

947

:

Keep it away for me.

948

:

Peter: You can smell it

five miles down the road.

949

:

Shaun: I think I stopped liking it when

I got burnt cold brew on a regular basis.

950

:

Peter: How do you fucking burn?

951

:

Shaun: Cold brew

952

:

Peter: there?

953

:

How do you burn?

954

:

There's a problem there.

955

:

Cold brew.

956

:

It is literally sitting in the fridge.

957

:

It does not touch heat.

958

:

Shaun: Yeah.

959

:

And don't come from me saying that

you can't burn cold brew 'cause

960

:

I know you can't burn cold brew.

961

:

It was clear that it wasn't

cold brew that I was getting.

962

:

Peter: Yeah, you were getting

the recycled frigging cis of

963

:

what used to be coffee beans

964

:

Shaun: from last night.

965

:

Like, geez, you make enough

money, get it together, Duncan.

966

:

And

967

:

Peter: why are the people

that work at Dunkins so rude?

968

:

So rude.

969

:

Shaun: I have a theory that I

can't present 'cause it will

970

:

definitely get me canceled.

971

:

Oh, I think I know what

you're talking about.

972

:

Yeah.

973

:

But anyway.

974

:

Peter: No, they're, they are

the rudest fucking people ever.

975

:

And then they, you can tell like when you

get up to the window that they just wanna

976

:

throw their, the coffee in your face.

977

:

Yeah.

978

:

Yeah.

979

:

Most of the time they

don't wanna give it to you.

980

:

They just wanna throw it in your face.

981

:

And how come every time you go in there,

somebody is fucking blasting music and

982

:

they're always talking to each other.

983

:

They never acknowledge

that you're at the counter.

984

:

They never acknowledge until you've

been sitting there for an hour,

985

:

Shaun: at least.

986

:

My theory on that one is that

they're hoping that if they

987

:

don't see you, you go away.

988

:

Peter: No.

989

:

If they don't acknowledge my

presence, I will make them by taking

990

:

a shit on the fucking counter.

991

:

This is why you don't go to dunk donuts.

992

:

Shaun: Oh my God.

993

:

I don't like being ignored.

994

:

That's extreme.

995

:

Peter: I'm a pretty easy

person to deal with.

996

:

You get my coffee and it

tastes like palatable.

997

:

I'm okay with that.

998

:

Because it's doing its job.

999

:

When I get it from Starbucks and

they fuck up on the order, I'm

:

00:43:43,752 --> 00:43:46,902

like, okay, this doesn't happen

often, so I'm just gonna drink this.

:

00:43:46,902 --> 00:43:48,012

I'm not gonna bitch about it.

:

00:43:48,012 --> 00:43:51,192

I'm not gonna go back to the counter

and be like, can you remake this?

:

00:43:51,552 --> 00:43:52,212

Remake it.

:

00:43:52,212 --> 00:43:53,472

It's not what I ordered.

:

00:43:53,772 --> 00:43:55,062

Actually, it is what you order.

:

00:43:55,062 --> 00:43:56,532

You just don't like the way it tastes.

:

00:43:57,252 --> 00:43:58,602

That's your fucking fault.

:

00:43:58,782 --> 00:44:03,102

So why don't you go home and on the

way, pick up the 15 fucking gallons of

:

00:44:03,102 --> 00:44:04,612

caramel syrup you're gonna put in it.

:

00:44:05,547 --> 00:44:06,777

Get the fuck outta the store.

:

00:44:07,107 --> 00:44:08,247

Leave the baristas alone.

:

00:44:08,397 --> 00:44:11,607

Shaun: I have a question for you because

do you feel like part of the reason

:

00:44:11,607 --> 00:44:16,667

you don't feel the need to do that is

that you feel you, there's gonna be

:

00:44:16,667 --> 00:44:19,847

more animosity towards you from people?

:

00:44:20,027 --> 00:44:23,387

The reason I'm asking that is it because

typically people of color and queer

:

00:44:23,387 --> 00:44:28,727

people are held to a higher standard

or are more likely to be dragged and

:

00:44:29,207 --> 00:44:31,667

attempted to have been canceled online.

:

00:44:31,817 --> 00:44:37,217

So do you feel like you're gonna get

more backlash if you like ask someone to

:

00:44:37,222 --> 00:44:38,627

remake something 'cause it was made wrong?

:

00:44:39,227 --> 00:44:41,837

Peter: No, I don't, to be

honest, I don't really care.

:

00:44:42,737 --> 00:44:46,427

But no, I just don't see the need

to have somebody remake something.

:

00:44:46,637 --> 00:44:48,257

There's enough waste in the world.

:

00:44:48,897 --> 00:44:50,097

They're just gonna pour it out.

:

00:44:50,097 --> 00:44:51,477

They're not gonna drink it themselves.

:

00:44:51,527 --> 00:44:52,157

Whatever.

:

00:44:52,217 --> 00:44:53,897

Everyone's entitled to a bad day.

:

00:44:54,527 --> 00:44:56,897

Yeah, the coffee can be bad one day.

:

00:44:56,897 --> 00:45:00,377

If I come back tomorrow, then we're

gonna have a fucking problem if it's bad.

:

00:45:00,377 --> 00:45:03,627

But no I don't think it's because.

:

00:45:04,497 --> 00:45:07,257

I'm gonna be held to a different

caliber than anybody else.

:

00:45:08,277 --> 00:45:09,357

I think that would be stupid.

:

00:45:09,727 --> 00:45:13,687

Shaun: I just feel like sometimes

there are certain groups of people

:

00:45:13,687 --> 00:45:17,797

who get held to a different, not

held to a different standard, but

:

00:45:18,307 --> 00:45:23,797

you make one slip up and you're

like, suddenly this terrible person.

:

00:45:24,797 --> 00:45:25,487

Peter: Yeah.

:

00:45:25,557 --> 00:45:27,597

Usually that, okay.

:

00:45:27,597 --> 00:45:29,367

I don't like when people go in and they.

:

00:45:30,177 --> 00:45:34,287

This reminds me of those whole AI videos

where they're screaming the person.

:

00:45:35,097 --> 00:45:38,517

I don't like when people go in and

assume that because the person is

:

00:45:38,517 --> 00:45:43,467

working at a coffee establishment or

fast food place, that you are entitled

:

00:45:43,467 --> 00:45:45,897

to talk to somebody in a specific way.

:

00:45:45,897 --> 00:45:53,347

And I feel that comes from

specific groups of people.

:

00:45:53,427 --> 00:45:55,947

My particular ethnicity included.

:

00:45:56,892 --> 00:46:01,452

Is known to do that, but I think

that it is not that they were

:

00:46:01,452 --> 00:46:04,992

being held to a different standard,

it's just people are prepared for

:

00:46:05,082 --> 00:46:08,202

us to act a fool when we go in.

:

00:46:08,202 --> 00:46:11,982

So they're already like, on

edge, I guess that makes sense.

:

00:46:12,672 --> 00:46:16,282

It's also that my parents here when

we're staying with them, 'cause we're

:

00:46:16,282 --> 00:46:21,512

leaving but it, my parents' town

here is predominantly Caucasian.

:

00:46:22,622 --> 00:46:30,452

And I absolutely fucking love ordering

Starbucks online and there's 50 million

:

00:46:30,452 --> 00:46:35,132

freaking Caucasian people sitting in

there waiting for their order that

:

00:46:35,132 --> 00:46:37,172

didn't think about ordering online.

:

00:46:37,412 --> 00:46:41,492

And you just walk in and you pick

up your order on the counter and you

:

00:46:41,492 --> 00:46:43,322

leave and all of the eyes are on.

:

00:46:43,322 --> 00:46:43,652

You

:

00:46:43,712 --> 00:46:45,272

Shaun: give you the dirtiest lugs.

:

00:46:45,332 --> 00:46:45,632

Peter: Yeah.

:

00:46:45,632 --> 00:46:48,482

I was like, what the fuck is

this little brown person doing?

:

00:46:48,817 --> 00:46:52,477

Little, oh, what is this fat fuck doing?

:

00:46:53,902 --> 00:46:54,937

You say you are not

:

00:46:54,937 --> 00:46:55,177

Shaun: little.

:

00:46:55,177 --> 00:46:55,687

You're very

:

00:46:55,687 --> 00:46:56,167

Peter: tall.

:

00:46:57,367 --> 00:46:58,867

So I know, I'm joking.

:

00:46:59,377 --> 00:47:00,757

What the fuck is he doing?

:

00:47:00,817 --> 00:47:02,587

How did he get his coffee before me?

:

00:47:02,587 --> 00:47:04,417

Why is he getting served before me?

:

00:47:04,627 --> 00:47:11,317

Because I ordered an hour ago to be de

to be ready right now because I knew

:

00:47:11,317 --> 00:47:13,147

your ass would be here to watch me.

:

00:47:14,497 --> 00:47:15,232

That's why I did it.

:

00:47:16,357 --> 00:47:17,557

It's my favorite thing to do.

:

00:47:18,302 --> 00:47:18,962

That is fun.

:

00:47:19,012 --> 00:47:20,962

It's very petty, but it's fun.

:

00:47:21,052 --> 00:47:21,262

Yeah.

:

00:47:21,262 --> 00:47:24,982

During the COVID lockdowns,

that was hysterical.

:

00:47:25,192 --> 00:47:25,762

Oh yeah.

:

00:47:25,762 --> 00:47:27,202

You used to do it constantly.

:

00:47:27,202 --> 00:47:27,742

Yeah.

:

00:47:27,742 --> 00:47:28,972

It was so great.

:

00:47:29,032 --> 00:47:32,032

All you saw were the eyes

over the masks watching you.

:

00:47:32,032 --> 00:47:33,412

You could tell they were pissed.

:

00:47:34,732 --> 00:47:35,332

Shaun: That was, you didn't have to

:

00:47:35,332 --> 00:47:35,992

Peter: see their mouth.

:

00:47:36,082 --> 00:47:36,442

Yeah.

:

00:47:37,672 --> 00:47:39,952

The eyes go all squint

and they look stupid.

:

00:47:40,923 --> 00:47:41,703

Shaun: Oh god.

:

00:47:41,803 --> 00:47:45,583

Before we wrap things up, one thing I

just wanna touch on really quickly is

:

00:47:45,703 --> 00:47:51,913

the obsession with public apologies

that society seems to have now,

:

00:47:52,393 --> 00:47:57,493

and the reason I wanna talk about

it is that it just feels so phony.

:

00:47:57,613 --> 00:47:58,303

Yeah, very

:

00:47:58,303 --> 00:47:59,203

Peter: disingenuous.

:

00:47:59,353 --> 00:48:01,573

Shaun: It feels like they

all follow the same script.

:

00:48:01,603 --> 00:48:03,583

I was young and ignorant.

:

00:48:03,943 --> 00:48:06,403

I'm learning and I'm growing.

:

00:48:06,883 --> 00:48:09,103

This does not reflect on who I am today.

:

00:48:11,173 --> 00:48:15,583

What the hell, what are we getting out of

this other than just watching them grovel?

:

00:48:17,323 --> 00:48:20,893

Peter: We're not getting anything out of

it except for the fact that people can't

:

00:48:20,893 --> 00:48:22,893

own up to the mistakes that they've made.

:

00:48:23,433 --> 00:48:27,483

Age is not an excuse for being an asshole.

:

00:48:27,933 --> 00:48:28,683

Shaun: No, it's

:

00:48:28,683 --> 00:48:29,043

Peter: not.

:

00:48:29,043 --> 00:48:30,753

It's not, and it's not an

excuse when you're old.

:

00:48:30,753 --> 00:48:32,163

It's not an excuse when you're young.

:

00:48:32,463 --> 00:48:35,463

I think that old people are

ruder, but that's just me.

:

00:48:35,853 --> 00:48:36,963

Most of the time they are.

:

00:48:37,263 --> 00:48:41,763

Yeah, because I feel like there's

some sort of decorum, some sort

:

00:48:41,763 --> 00:48:46,538

of unspoken law between younger

people, how you're supposed to act.

:

00:48:47,278 --> 00:48:50,903

But the older people that are sitting

there and they're like, oh, you taught

:

00:48:50,903 --> 00:48:53,363

this kid manners and actually your child.

:

00:48:53,798 --> 00:48:58,328

Yeah, your child taught

that child those manners,

:

00:48:58,448 --> 00:49:00,098

Shaun: so maybe you did a bad job.

:

00:49:00,158 --> 00:49:00,518

Peter: Yeah.

:

00:49:00,518 --> 00:49:02,258

This is a reflection on you.

:

00:49:02,648 --> 00:49:04,268

Shaun: A reflection on you and your kid.

:

00:49:04,268 --> 00:49:04,898

So

:

00:49:05,528 --> 00:49:10,418

Peter: I feel like they're all very

disingenuous when I hear 'em and I don't.

:

00:49:10,778 --> 00:49:12,788

You said what you said you did.

:

00:49:13,028 --> 00:49:14,378

You meant it at the time.

:

00:49:14,528 --> 00:49:17,438

You may not mean it now, but

you meant it at the time.

:

00:49:17,438 --> 00:49:20,408

So just fess up and

move on with your life.

:

00:49:20,558 --> 00:49:23,018

Yeah, because every day is

a new day and it's just.

:

00:49:23,798 --> 00:49:25,898

You're bringing that

shit into the next day.

:

00:49:26,198 --> 00:49:28,148

Shaun: Yeah, absolutely.

:

00:49:28,148 --> 00:49:30,788

You said what you said, don't

blame it on the edit, girl.

:

00:49:30,908 --> 00:49:31,178

Peter: Yeah.

:

00:49:31,178 --> 00:49:32,618

Don't blame it on being young.

:

00:49:32,648 --> 00:49:37,018

That's fucking stupid because

age does not equate to wisdom.

:

00:49:37,858 --> 00:49:38,698

Not at all.

:

00:49:39,148 --> 00:49:43,558

There are people that are much

younger that I find extremely

:

00:49:43,558 --> 00:49:46,738

profound and very knowledgeable.

:

00:49:46,768 --> 00:49:52,048

And there are people that are much older

than me that I find like complete fools.

:

00:49:52,668 --> 00:49:53,898

They're so dumb.

:

00:49:54,498 --> 00:49:58,278

The whole thing that you need to do is

you need to chalk this up to education.

:

00:49:59,328 --> 00:50:04,578

Education is key because that is

how a person makes an informed

:

00:50:04,578 --> 00:50:10,363

decision and an action you can't sit

here and say, I was young and dumb.

:

00:50:10,393 --> 00:50:12,043

No, you were just dumb.

:

00:50:12,433 --> 00:50:14,683

It has nothing to do with

the fact that you were young.

:

00:50:14,683 --> 00:50:15,703

You were just dumb,

:

00:50:16,153 --> 00:50:18,228

Shaun: because old people

do dumb shit too, right?

:

00:50:18,977 --> 00:50:24,377

Peter: Every day you make a decision

and it probably isn't the right one.

:

00:50:24,377 --> 00:50:27,527

It's the right one for you, but

it's not the right one for everyone.

:

00:50:28,037 --> 00:50:31,817

And that is some sort of ignorance.

:

00:50:32,027 --> 00:50:32,657

It is.

:

00:50:33,287 --> 00:50:37,277

But yeah, I don't think that

age really plays a factor.

:

00:50:37,277 --> 00:50:39,072

You can't sit here and

say, I was young and dumb.

:

00:50:39,947 --> 00:50:43,277

You were young and you are dumb.

:

00:50:43,277 --> 00:50:45,677

You're still dumb for making that comment.

:

00:50:46,037 --> 00:50:46,307

Shaun: Okay.

:

00:50:46,367 --> 00:50:51,567

Real quick before we wrap things up

one situation that is very relevant

:

00:50:51,567 --> 00:50:56,367

to what we're talking about right

now that I can think of, 'cause

:

00:50:56,367 --> 00:50:57,537

it has to do with drag queens.

:

00:50:58,257 --> 00:51:04,287

Remember when Ty tried to come for

Irene, the alien online and said

:

00:51:04,317 --> 00:51:07,557

essentially that she was a pedophile?

:

00:51:08,607 --> 00:51:10,197

Yeah, I heard about this.

:

00:51:10,257 --> 00:51:14,007

And then she had to come back and

retract it and say that she shouldn't

:

00:51:14,007 --> 00:51:19,257

have said those things and she

was being young and upset and all.

:

00:51:19,347 --> 00:51:21,207

And how do you feel about that?

:

00:51:21,207 --> 00:51:25,417

Like how do you feel about when people

deliberately do something that they

:

00:51:25,417 --> 00:51:31,477

know is wrong and they know is a lie

and they know is gonna hurt someone,

:

00:51:31,477 --> 00:51:33,067

and then they try to say, oh, I was,

:

00:51:34,237 --> 00:51:35,027

Peter: I think people do it.

:

00:51:36,112 --> 00:51:37,162

For attention.

:

00:51:37,672 --> 00:51:38,512

They just do.

:

00:51:38,572 --> 00:51:39,862

And I think it was stupid.

:

00:51:39,912 --> 00:51:44,742

She reminds me of the monster that

you would think is under your bed.

:

00:51:46,272 --> 00:51:48,552

Her makeup is so strange.

:

00:51:48,552 --> 00:51:50,742

I know she's supposed to

be this anime character.

:

00:51:51,232 --> 00:51:54,802

But she is a very poor reflection

on the Latino community.

:

00:51:55,672 --> 00:51:58,042

You're immature, you're not dumb.

:

00:51:58,042 --> 00:51:59,872

You because you can manipulate people.

:

00:52:00,367 --> 00:52:01,957

Yeah, so you're not stupid.

:

00:52:01,957 --> 00:52:06,227

I think that having the ability

to be manipulative means you're

:

00:52:06,227 --> 00:52:07,667

a hyper intelligent person.

:

00:52:08,127 --> 00:52:11,937

You're very in tune with how

people will react, so you know

:

00:52:11,937 --> 00:52:13,677

how to manipulate their feelings.

:

00:52:14,667 --> 00:52:17,787

She's just a poor fucking

excuse for a human being.

:

00:52:17,787 --> 00:52:22,317

I don't condo and people saying things

just to be hateful and spiteful.

:

00:52:23,342 --> 00:52:25,892

If that's how you feel,

it's a private conversation.

:

00:52:25,892 --> 00:52:30,212

Just because you have a platform does

not mean you get to air your fucking

:

00:52:30,212 --> 00:52:35,702

dirty, nasty, skidmark frigging panties

out there to, for the world to see.

:

00:52:36,872 --> 00:52:37,382

Yeah.

:

00:52:37,682 --> 00:52:40,352

Your life is not more

important than another.

:

00:52:40,802 --> 00:52:41,162

No, absolutely.

:

00:52:42,737 --> 00:52:47,222

So stop trying to ruin someone else's life

because you can't clean your own jaws.

:

00:52:47,912 --> 00:52:48,122

Shaun: Hmm.

:

00:52:49,292 --> 00:52:50,192

Well said.

:

00:52:50,852 --> 00:52:51,752

There you have it.

:

00:52:52,052 --> 00:52:55,922

Some people rise from the ashes,

like a messy queer phoenix.

:

00:52:56,582 --> 00:52:59,282

Others just disappear

into the Twitter void.

:

00:53:00,062 --> 00:53:03,572

Either way, we're still here

spiraling on your behalf and

:

00:53:03,572 --> 00:53:07,772

remember, if you're going to get

canceled, at least make it me worthy.

:

00:53:08,942 --> 00:53:10,892

Because redemption is possible.

:

00:53:11,792 --> 00:53:13,322

Only if you can laugh at yourself.

:

00:53:13,532 --> 00:53:15,392

Otherwise the internet will do it for you.

:

00:53:16,112 --> 00:53:17,942

So spiral responsibly kids.

:

00:53:18,602 --> 00:53:22,322

And if you do get canceled, just

drop a thirst trap and rebrand.

:

00:53:24,662 --> 00:53:24,752

Ew.

:

00:53:26,292 --> 00:53:27,612

We will talk to you next time.

:

00:53:27,792 --> 00:53:28,092

Bye bye.
