We've literally been setting up for so long that my wine is almost gone and I'm sad. Oh. Roll the intro. Hey. You ready, let's go. Hi, guys, welcome back to Wild. Oh, my God, I'm so glad. I got to be honest. I feel like I'm screaming. You are screaming. Hold on. OK, just everyone hold on.

How about now? Oh, that's much better. Wow. That was the loudest and drove my entire life. Hi, guys. Welcome back to Well Till Nine, our weekly podcast. Screaming Your Screaming. Hi, guys.

Welcome back to our weekly podcast. While Till Nine. I'm your host, Lauren Macchi, 17 time champion of everything from this.

And this is my boyfriend. Very good. I feel like. Yeah, not bad. Not bad. OK, but yeah, my wine's almost gone.

And I'm sad because we've got like a solid hour of chatting and I have no more alcoholic beverage.

You mean your usual wine.

What do you mean.

My, my usual wine shout out, which is actually sponsoring this episode, is actually sponsoring this episode and it is delicious and I'm sad like it comes in the cutest. We're not even at the ad portion. We're giving it so much free promo.

Anyways, my usual wine is almost sad.

Not free, not free but well anyways. Welcome back to the BOD Stop Drop Roll Rate podcast share with a friend also. OK, someone sent us the cutest photo of their dog listening to the podcast, which I'm sure they were obviously like very, you know, in tune with and, you know, very attentive to.

So we would love to see your podcast pups if you podcast pups.

Baby, I already started that hashtag last week. Where have you been? Are you not following the wild dog on Instagram? No.

Well, I am OK. Did you make the podcast?

No, I'm just I was reading them. Try to again. Podcast pups, podcast pups. Let me go see his name. He was so cute. Anyway, send us photos of your pup listening to the pod and we'll post it on the wild online Instagram because honestly, I kind of just wanted to be a dog page and not actually a podcast page.

He was so bawdy. His name was Boatie Schäfer Bordo.

So, yes. And it's your podcast Pups. I'm excited to see.

I'm also OK, so I'm highly allergic to cats, but I'm not opposed to a we just had podcast pussy.

I need the alliteration. There was just no other there was no other way to go about that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh your your podcast. Persians know what we're keeping that in. Yeah, yeah. I mean obviously I keep it in. I feel as if pussy is synonymous for cat. No. Well, let's let them be the judge.

OK, great. So send us your podcast pops and your podcast putzes. My OK so after podcast PUP's podcast bleeps. Do you not like the word pussy.

I just, I don't feel like I ok, I don't really I'm not going to participate. I mean that's fine. My third favorite listener. Yeah. Style Variety are the girlfriends who are forcing their boyfriend to her mom.

Yes. I love a girlfriend.

It forces is the boyfriend and I have never had so many enemies, you know, until they actually listen to it and they enjoy it and they think it's funny.

Right. Until until they haven't gotten there yet. Yeah.

Yeah. Well we'll get there. We'll get there eventually. So quick question and I need you to answer this honestly and preferably quickly.

Have you ever seen a nude mom? This is a really great time, I think dad needs help figuring out the laundry machine.

Take a picture of your body. Have you ever sent a nude? Short answer is yes. A long answer, medium, medium length answer.

I actually have a good story to go along with this as well.

Not the best, but we have to fill in our cell. Right? So the short answer is yes. OK, I have sent a nude I have not sent everyone hits like Google and it's up to you.

But I've never sent like a full naked. No, no, like full naked. I think also by time I was the age to have a cell phone that could actually send a photo that probably is aging myself so intensely.

But like we in high school, it would cost me like three dollars to send a photo. There's no way I could for that afford that in high school.

So I definitely did not send nudes in high school.

I feel like that's just like a dangerous I can't even imagine being in high school and having like a fifteen year old dude ask for a nude and like have the ability to send that in two seconds for free. It's a very scary thought.

Anyways, I got the technology from today and yesterday, but yeah. So that's been only three dollars and one cent. Oh we can do better than that.

It's called old fans and we charge more than three dollars for that baby anyways. So I have sent a scanned photo. I feel like that's more of an appropriate term than like a nude because I've never been full moon. I also going back to like the whole phone situation.

By time I did have like an iPhone because, like, I don't remember. Do you have a BlackBerry at any point? Yeah, I had a black I got my BlackBerry curve with my keyboard under the desk. Oh, hiya.

I could type so fast that looking with the BlackBerry, it was incredible. Anyways, that had about a two megapixel camera. It was not great.

So like I would never send a nude. You could leak those nudes with a full resolution have added unrecognizable, unrecognizable.

So anyways, by the time I got to university and had an iPhone and, you know, had the ability to send a nude, I feel like I had started my YouTube channel in first year university and I was smarter than that.

I was like, this is this is not the direction that we're trying to go with the brand.

I thought you were going to argue for a moment that because you started a YouTube channel, you were going to be smart enough to not send a nude. I was going to direct you to the Internet and say there are plenty of people with a YouTube channel that have sent plenty of unsolicited news.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So anyways, I started off strong, I would say, in being conscious about having a public image and not having nudes floating around with different people.

I also have been a serial dater, so I trusted all of my past boyfriends, but I still was hesitant to even have that photo existed.

But there was one time on Snapchat because I feel like Snapchat when we were in college was huge and like, obviously SNAP is like still pop and now it's not the same.

It's not the same. It's not the same.

Like we were introduced to the idea of a photo that disappears and would like let you know it got screenshot like Snapchat was made for nudes. Yeah.

But you also remember that had the feature where you could see who the best friends of somebody else was. Yes. You could stick their top three. So you knew everybody who was fucking are about to fuck. It was fantastic. I wish they'd bring that back. I feel like a voluntary thing, right, that you can every girlfriend make their boyfriend turn it on.

Oh, absolutely. It's like the red receipt. So Snapchat. So anyways, I at the time went to go send a Scandi but not nude undercooking.

Well how Scandi we talk. Oh like full butt cheeks. Like just butt cheeks full. But what I mean full butt cheeks wearing something. I hate your face right now just.

It was I didn't hear this part of the story, and so it was it was I always made an effort to in my stamp's I didn't do this many times, especially after this incident happened, because I was scarred but never put my face in it. I feel like that's the general rule of news, is that you don't put your face on it so that it's it's less, you know, possible that it gets tied back to you. I feel now that I have more tattoos, it's less and less.

I really have to make a name.

Yeah, I really have to figure out an angle to make that work. Anyways, you just face you, not your tattoos at the tattoo. Yeah.

Before I said it, that's actually a great idea anyways. Not that we ever are not together currently, just literally always in the same house that I have a follow up to this.

So yeah.

Anyways I went to go send the Scandi Snapchat and it probably had about a quarter of my face in it, maybe a third full butt cheeks like back dimples or whatever, and wearing something a little sassy.

And I accidentally fucking posted this Snapchat to my public story.

There was like some short cut of like a double tap or something that just automatically posted. And instead of like going tap next and then tapped who I was going to send it to, I accidentally double tapped and it went live. Oh my God, I immediately deleted.

It is probably up for less than 60 seconds and. Oh, no, no, no, hang on.

So this was in my fourth year of university, though, so I had been online for three and a half years at this point. So I had a decent sized following.

I had hit a million subscribers already, like, oh, I was not just like like you don't mean like they're my my nude might trend on Twitter. OK, might maybe, maybe not but maybe there's a change. Warcraft girl.

Fuck that. That is before Kraft girls before Kraft people knew people I was fucking but just.

Well ok anyway we didn't meet until we did the man go ahead.

So I immediately delete the Snapchat text my manager being like hey here's what happened, just letting you know.

And then I was like, let's do Mirch. And yes, I was like, great, let's slap it on March. Let's blow it up, let's go posters of it, what you need. And I stayed monitoring my tagged photos on Instagram and I got tagged in.

So so it had screenshot of it within that, like maybe it was only ten seconds. I honestly I like blackout. I don't know how long was that box.

I was panicking but it was, it resurfaced on to Instagram accounts and they kept tagging me in the photo and they created a new account, just a repost, a photo, lots and lots and lots of times, and tigerman, all of them. So I'm sitting there like blocking this account, tagging myself from all the photos, just like in live time as they're posting it.

I know someone was really set out to leak. My name did.

And like me at twenty to like newly hitting a million subscribers and like just hitting my on stride on YouTube. I was like, oh my God, this is the end of my career.

What's odd is that and I totally understand the the concept of that, like feeling like the end of the career at twenty two. I feel like no nude today is career ending.

Chris Evans new nudes are basically career starting now that only thing. But still like that's like a I feel like a big difference in between. Yeah no it's going to today.

I mean I feel like the, the body positivity movement is just like so much stronger than it was five years ago where it's like obviously if something happens where like Chris Evans accidentally leaked a dick pic and people were so nice about it and like so understanding.

And this was like I mean, his fans really flooded his timeline with, like, puppy, right?

Yeah. With, like, irrelevant puppy pictures. So people didn't see his dick in respect. I will say I podcast, but I will say that something similar happened to Jennifer Lawrence where it happened, like outside of her will and but she got packed.

She got she got hacked, but like fans did not treat her the same.

And so we still have we still have a ways to go. But but I do think that you're totally correct in that if my nude leaked now, not that I would put it on merch, but I'd be like, hell, yeah. Those asked to excuse. Could we just put it in a picture right here? Yeah, we'll put it in a picture there.

And I mean, yeah, it was just my butt cheeks and you know what, the size of bikini bottoms now it's basically the same amount of cheek that I would put on Instagram and in like a bikini bottom through.

Yeah. Drew, well, thank you for sharing. You're welcome.

Um, uh, uh, I'm thinking about the tasteful nude that you sent me, that one time nude. What's interesting is.

No, no, hang on, hang on, hang on.

Have you ever sent a nude to anyone other than me? Answer this very carefully. Yes.

No, no. No hesitation. Yes. OK, walk me through it. Walk me through it.

Walk you through, will you take it like a dick. Or and please tell me they've always been solicited, there's nothing worse than an unsolicited dick pic there, I don't understand. So, OK, do I understand that? I don't think that I suffer from the same. Dommage itis, yeah, I think it's the step beyond dumb bitch itis OK. There's something there. It's not something that I feel like is and I don't say it's not normal.

That's not something that I feel like I understand the the need to say I am going to surprise this person.

They have we haven't talked about it. There's not any context when they open their phone.

Just one eyed snake right there, one eyed snake.

You know, I just.

That's not right. It's not in your nature, right? Yeah.

I'm the first person to admit that. It's not that I haven't said one, it's just that.

How many girls do you think have nude photos of you if their phones haven't been wiped or backed up or whatever?

Um, how many different girls? Uh, Jennifer Lawrence is carrying the ten.

Ninety seven. I know. Yeah. Like more than ten are less than ten.

Hmm, that's a good question. Also, I feel like there's different types of girls for you being straight, like I feel like there's the girls who absolutely are so into that and some people who just, like, don't want to see it at all.

And you have to kind of read the room on that situation, especially in like a new relationship when you're newly talking.

I have been on I feel like in my single days, both in like high school, college, post college. Right. I have been on the side where I've been the person who was I feel like more sexual, the urtext less times than I've been the person that was way. Way. Yeah.

You were less sexual over text. Let me let me walk that one back. I have been more times, especially in college. I've been the person who's been post college. I have been the person who is less sexual, more often than not via text. And the last time I was single, I feel like now that I've grown out of nudes by any means, but I didn't want to just like send on any anything and everything to every girl that I've swiped.

Right on Tinder too. Yeah. So it was almost weird, the ones like we hadn't even met yet or whatever that were being overtly sexual. And I was like, we are, we haven't met.

And you can understand it's like guys have a hard time realizing that you're not special. Like if she's doing it to you. Right.

And you have any interest, she's doing it to everybody else. Right. I really want to add your dick to her library. Right. Because she's probably if she's sending she's probably getting them back. Right. And I mean, some people are so down with that and they're like totally comfortable with it. And that's totally fine.

It's not that I wouldn't be comfortable with it. It's like if I haven't met you yet or if I don't like I mean, that's a level of comfort, right? Yeah.

That typically I don't reach until I've met a person in a face to face. But I mean, you know, to each to each what's what's to each them.

To each their own I, I will. And I can confirm that you have sent more nude photos to Asian girl squad in a group than you have to me in our relationship.

That is absolutely, absolutely accurate.

Yeah, I've seen.

And they're all like tanning or this or I don't know if we ever want Asterix. Oh yeah. Oh they're like full nude. Yeah I know. Like if, if like one of us gets really sunburnt like I'll send that photo or like if someone gets when all of your clothes get hacked next week.

Oh yeah. We'll know what.

Yeah we're absolutely fucked. Oh my God. Yeah.

And I mean it's not flattering nude. It's like it's not me trying to be sexy, it's like me being like, oh my God, look how roasted my back is to put sunscreen on. Honestly, at this point, I don't think that I would really care.

So, OK, so let's let's back it up. But also like that Kat this one off because we talk about nudes all day. What can I tell them about your your tasteful nude that you sent me when we first started dating though?

So Jeremy was at a wedding in a hotel.

And so we've been dating for maybe like a month at this point.

And I think I requested a photo of you in your suit, like send me a photo when you get ready and when you're cute or whatever. Like, I don't think I asked for it. So I think was a surprise.

Tasteful nude. Did did I just send you an unsolicited nude? But it wasn't a dick pic, right.

It wasn't a dick like it was you in a steamy mirror with a veis in front of your dick.

And we were also in peak shape at this point, too, so like it was, I wish you'd cut rate, but I probably still have it. That scares me.

Well, if I look good, I don't mind. Oh, my God. You also sent me like a gray sweater. I can't.

I thought that was when you were talking about. No, because the other was just like so artsy because like it was like post shower meare and like vais like so specifically positioned so that it was like a modeling school.

Right. Yes. Is it right. Yeah. So Jeremy sent me and this is how he sealed the deal basically for us the date was the great Swapan Ween photo. I did send you that one.

Yeah. And also not a dick pic. You know, it's the getting creative for me.

You know, I've never sent we've never exchanged nudes. No, no, no, no. Which is odd. Well, I mean, we live together. So I was going to say you could just I could we shower together sometime.

So I don't think you need, you know, conservation for water.

So I guess my question is, do you think that sending nudes is inherently bad or have poor taste?

No, I don't think so. I think I mean, like, yeah, obviously.

I don't know if you'd have to ask you.

I mean, neither do I, apparently. But no, I, I strongly think that if you are comfortable in your own body, I think bodies are so normal. We all have one. And I think only fans is like a great platform for people who want to go.

Oh yeah. Like I mean. So Haunter. Yeah. 100 percent, 100 percent. Like I'm so in favor of like it's your body, it's your choice. You get to do what you want with your body and if you want to photograph it and share that with people, more power to you. I'm, I'm down with it.

All of it. Here is where I will add that the disclaimer or the not now, but you got to think twice.

But my my only retort to that will be similarly to how a couple of episodes when we talked about like hooking up with a friend's ex or whatever, and you have to accept the consequences you need before you share that photo. Do you understand that the person you're sharing it with has about.

Oh, well, OK, yeah. So revenge, new revenge porn, revenge nudes both. I guess it could go both ways. No, I mean, I feel like revenge porn is the term that you always hear, but like revenge nudes is so real.

I have a friend who has sent so many nudes, like she's just like down with it, totally comfortable with it, and she's very chill and has accepted the fact that, like, there will probably be a nude that resurfaces at some point because there's just been so many of it.

The problem is Photoshop is getting so good. If you look up anybody's name anymore that's remotely famous and just type in Neutra a.f. w yeah, there's a thousand like fake nake picture fake nake fake naked pictures of them already. Anyway, faking excuse me, naked as they called the art of the fake Iniki.

Should we tell them about my read it.

Oh my God. Yeah we have to. I showed Lauren. Oh my God. Her well because I. What did I ask. Because like I made some joke about read it.

You're like, you're like, oh show me like you're superimposed faking Nagy's. And I was like, what do you know.

He said, show me your superimposed fake name. It doesn't ring a bell, but it does sound like coined the term fake Nagy's as of today.

Welcome to the club making Nike. Thank you club. Yeah. Yeah. Um, no I, I think you asked you're like how bad is it.

Like Oh yeah. How bad is your, how bad are your faking. Nikki's on Reddit and I'm not going to read from that. You did say faking because I just like saying faking it. You really how about your fingernails on Reddit. It was like what do you mean my Nikki's on Reddit and you're like, you're faking Nagy's.

And I'm like, OK, I still don't know what you're talking about. And you're like you really like you've never looked at your Reddit and you've never seen your face, like superimposed onto someone's body being naked and people like are just so good at Photoshop now that they can make you naked on anyone's body with your face photo.

She didn't believe me and you believe me. Now you know what it was as soon as I started posting about a year ago, like workout videos, rap pics, your first pics.

It was just me getting my squad on. It's not my fault. I got a good booty form when I squat. Anyways, when I started posting, I took no notice.

A great big stare. That's amazing. Booty looks good, but it looks good.

They are going to love this one. Oh, it's going to go great.

But once I started, I think like slowly starting to remove the filter and acting my age and staying at the gym, I would say two years ago basically when we met and that's when my technique started.

Oh, my God, there's this disgusting. It's not. Is it disgusting? It's disgusting. This video. Oh, my God.

On Reddit, I feel like I think about it every three months and I'm like, I keep it on Reddit. Where was it? Yeah, it's got to be a read. It's on Twitter. I don't know what could be. Anyway, it's a photo. It's a fake naki of me on someone's phone. And this guy, it's a video of his dick just. Coming onto my fakie naki on his phone and so like a I'm just like, OK, you just made your phone super sticky and like I'm concerned about that.

Like water covered waterproof. Yes. But like Campral, I'm not I don't know, has apple tested that has Steve Jobs like give us given the green flag for that.

Like, I don't know what Steve is is no longer with us.

All right. But but like Tim Cook has. Yeah. Oh, Tim Cook did give us the green light that OK.

And that's also, Steve, improve up to 15 feet. OK, great.

Great. Well, then that guy is set then. So anyways, it was that was an experience of I don't even know I don't even know what platform that video was on. And I encourage you to not go look for it. I know the date of this podcast comes out that everyone's going to be tweeting me that video again.

And I would love to not watch it again. I mean, so here's where I.

I understand people's fantasy with seeing people naked that they can't see naked. I get it. I understand. I think that's a curiosity factor. And also I think that people forget sometimes that you're a real human and so is everybody else on the Internet, no matter how many numbers they have next to the recount.

And I think that they create these things sometimes in a way that's just like blurs the reality with fantasy a little bit and sometimes a good surface. That's not real. But unless you have someone to tell you it is not, what are you going to say, like every time you get to go see it on Twitter? This one's not real of me at this person. I was going to look at it. Right.

So it's kind of a. Lose, lose if you're OK with it, so I'm OK with it, though. Thank you. Nickie's. It's just part of it's part of the job. Know it's part of the job.

I can't wait for my first fakie naki.

Oh, I'm going to make your first Pechinsky. Yeah. Yeah. Whose body do you want to be on. Um, let's do something like natural like that would kind of pass like Chris Hemsworth or like Chris Hemsworth. Like Thor body.

Yeah. Yeah. That's like that would look good on me. And then um. Uh yeah. Let's just stick with Chris. I was thinking more like Ryan Gosling, you know.

OK, I guess I'm looking for the Ryan if I have to. Yeah, OK.

Yeah, great. So yeah, my only thing is that especially if you are younger. Yeah.

I mean it got to be honest, I must say right now you're under 18. A lot of states it is illegal to send nudes. Is it actually.

Yeah. You're soliciting like child pornography. Oh my God. Yeah. You can become a sex. I mean that.

Oh my God. That's terrifying. OK, well, great advice to anyone. That's over eighteen. Be aware of that. And also, boys, send it unsolicited pics to sixteen year old girls.

If her father sees that you send that picture you've upped. So get your shit together and be a little smarter.

Yeah, I don't have actually received any unsolicited. That's not true. Are you kidding. Yeah, that's up to one every day. I literally get one every day on Twitter. Yeah.

At least once a day on Twitter and unsolicited I think. Yeah. I don't know. It's OK, it's fine.

Part of the job vacancies unseals a dick pics. There's the title of our podcast for their faking naki is an unsolicited dick. Pics that and click bait item.

Do you remember the Oji version of sexting. Um, like passing notes.

It's cool. That's I know where you an aim.

A MSN and AOL Yahoo or a Hotmail.

I was well OK. So I was MSN, but it was with Hotmail. Got it.

So my first email ever and I don't know where this came from. I basically was trying like all the variations of my name and it was taken and I was like, oh, I'm just think of the most raw DIY.

You really enjoy that one.

Didn't get your email. I, uh, roared. Yeah, yeah. MySpace folks, remember? You know what? I wasn't I wasn't a rower kid like I was IMO, but I would definitely lean more to the scene side of things than actual email. And so Ra wasn't my wasn't my aesthetic.

No, this is this is pre IMO, because I would have been like, great. No. No. How, how.

Dialup Internet, how old was I literally can remember anyways, it was so random, it was hip. Hip who at home. Oh. Actually, there might have been a 12 in it to Habib, who 12 at Hotmail dot com. That's adorable. And you get there from your name? Oh, no, no.

I was so frustrated that my name was taken.

So an after hip hop who it was Lauren Underscore Rocks with an ex underscore 11:00 at Hotmail dot com and put them because I know that's still attached to some things.

It's not I don't have access to it anymore.

So everyone have at it maybe attached like a Habbo hotel account.

You're giving a lot of information here. Once again, I loved Habbo Hotel.

OK, so we get hacked and when we get hacked, I know none of these hot e-mails. I feel like Hotmail is just like a scary place to be in, like I don't have any Hotmail anymore. And so and after that, this was like my high school email.

It was lower at Hotmail dot com. I really want you to stop putting all these emails out right now. It's OK. We're fine. I feel very uncomfortable. It's a gateway.

So it really it was your email and news on a lower. No, I was not emailing Nuge. I was talking to boys and being really nervous and getting sweaty palms and I was talking to boys also. My mom had this habit of like always coming into the computer room because like in this day and age we had like a desktop computer with dial up Internet that parked itself in one room. And my mom, just like every so often to, like, roam into the room just to see what I was doing.

And I would minimize all my conversations with boys. But the issue was, was that in like the toolbar at the bottom, whenever there was an active chat, it would flash orange.

And it was the most like, who are you talking to? What are you doing?

And also the idea of Habbo Hotel at this point, not like chatting with strangers of all ages on the Internet across the world, like my age is like a little questionable.

I mean, do you remember Chatroulette, Chapala? People are still into Chatroulette and like omegle, people are still into that. But like just people just getting naked, is it legal? Oh, I. What kind of Chatroulette are you on?

I mean, like some people like what do you mean what Chatroulette am I on? That's what the point of the whole thing was for. That was the point of that. I mean, it wasn't. But that's all, if any, it go on chat with more than five minutes ten years ago. And I assure you, you saw. Let's see if it was five minutes. You were looking at dicks for four minutes and 58 seconds.

OK, so I've never really omegle, but like I think that you put in your interests and then it like matches you with people who have your same interests. So like, if I type in like Jeremy Michael Lewis on Omegle, it'll match me with other people who also have put that is one of my interested topics.

So that would be a population of want me. Exactly. Either way, I was a hot male bitch. I will do. Yeah, I was going to say I'm going right straight to a Muggleton.

Our next podcast is going to just be us on a live stream with omegle. With the circle intro. Yeah, right.

To go find our to nine fans on omegle. Yeah. No I, I was Amazon for sure. And that was like the original home of the flirt.

Right. I feel I was in the sense that you were talking to boys.

You weren't happening to participate in the rule of three were you.

Knock on wood, you've received the participant trophy, if one was handed out, maybe I may have gotten like a thank you for participating, given that wasn't part of the story when I was being drilled.

Well, yeah, I don't know. Yeah. You know what I was like?

I like boys and I was just like dumb for any boy that talk to me.

I was like, I'm down to talk to this boy if he wants to talk to me. Got it. OK, yeah, I understand.

It's yeah. Just I feel like that's probably a sign of like a lacking of self security.

You're very picky and very. But you only go for the male. I was such a tomboy though and signs Lauryn Hill. Sorry. So sorry. It's ok. So sorry. I totally missed anything that shows you fucking piece of attention.

Sure. Well no.

I feel like boys weren't interested in me in elementary school cause I was, I was such an athlete, like I was so sporty and like I just wasn't a girly girl. I was a boy. I was Sporty Spice. And I feel like boys weren't interested in me. So I had like a few boys that were like the other six sporty guys that thought sporty girls were cool, but that like was not like the most popular I league combination.

So when a guy was interested in me, I was like.

Thinks I'm cute, but it was like I did not have boys pining after me like I wore, so I played soccer growing up and they give you these black, like, nylon soccer shorts every year, like the swishy black soccer shorts that, like, go past your knee.

Oh, I had a collection of those from my past years of playing soccer that I wore every single day with like a matching graphic tee shirt. So I get it.

I get it. I was not.

There's nothing wrong with that combination. You know what? Looking back, I don't regret it. It was very comfortable. And I'm OK with where I am now.

And I think I probably shaped me as a person, but I was I was like a hella tomboy. And so when boys are interested, I too was interested. Yeah.

I'm not sure anyone noticed that I existed until I was like 18. Anyway, that's absolutely not true. Find 20.

You're lying through your your fake tooth right now. I'm lying through what was a big old gap. I was an AOL guy.

OK, so tell me about AOL because I don't know anything about it. I feel like you were either MSN or AOL and there was like you didn't do both. You did one.

I didn't know that existed. Really, to be fair, everyone I knew today, well, no one did. I said, OK, yeah. So I don't I can't even I can't tell the difference is because I don't know what MSM is like. OK, I was Poppen.

Well I don't know how to play messages and I had them away is definitely minimized. Teebs when mom came around I got the whole nine yards. I don't. Sounds very similar.

Yeah it sounds very so. Yeah. Yeah. What was your message like. How did you get the girls, how did you get all the girls their message.

I assure you that when I had an AOL account there were no girls being got.

Oh so do you just sit on AOL? Like who did you talk to on AOL?

Will, real quickly, whoever we talk back to me, I assume I don't remember you, but we would have been perfect for each other.

Oh yeah.

You with your missing tooth meet my soccer shorts would be a match made in there and just held hands and then super awkward. I had an awkward boner and you go, huh.

The awkward boner. I told you first grade. Awkward boner. Awkward boner in first grade. Yeah I remember. I do remember broken.

Turned out not to be and I did pics of it twenty years later. All right Lauran. True or false, have I been sleeping better than ever the past few weeks like. Annoyingly true. OK, and why do you think that is.

I feel like our audience is mostly our age, like early twenties. OK, so after Emison slash AOL, I feel like was MySpace like that was that was what was next before Facebook. Before Twitter, before all of that was my cousin for 2005.

I have no idea. That's what I learned. Like the basics of coding was HTML. Yeah. It's because I always wanted like these cute layouts as my like MySpace profile background and I always wanted to like it now that I'm like thinking back to this, like this is so shitty of me, but I learned html. So you take out the credit of the person's logo that made the HTML like MySpace layout.

What a dick like what a dick move. But I was always like, oh it's cramping my style, it's like ruining my design and I would take it out in the HTML code and that's like I don't know if you've been wronged by Lauren.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry if I took your your credit out of your MySpace profile. I'm so sorry.

It's so funny. It's like I had no interest in the design aspect that was pretty pre-built template wise, even though I work in tech and I'm interested in that shit now and not a coder, but just I'm interested enough like, yeah, I had no idea at the time if you just had the devil. I think I had a half naked chick. It's my wallpaper. Are you kidding. And probably like some tea paint banger that like you would drive just absolutely degressive.

Like you had a homepage and just saw like how fucking annoying is that. Like I know that's so fun to like make you do something with a sun. If I logged onto a website today because my volume's off and it was just like I'm I buy you a drink, like, what the fuck are you kidding?

Google. Yeah. No, it wouldn't work. I you know what?

I would have been this would have been right before I started being seen. So I feel like I was like hardcore into rap first in grade nine. I really want us to include a picture of you being seen. But content, I mean, you know what?

I'll post something on Twitter. Let me know. Remind me on Twitter and I'll post it. I'll post on the wall to my Instagram or whatever, because I do I do have them.

I do have I'll see if I can find a picture of me in high school because everyone's like, we need to see how ugly he was. I honestly believe already I haven't even seen Jeremy won't even let me see a photo of him in high school.

I've seen like a few, but his mouth is always closed because I know that he was self-conscious about the situation open except for to feed myself for the first twenty years.

Right. Well, and to kiss all the girls that you kissed in high school. Now three of them, let's say my mother, my grandmother and my aunt.

That's so nice, babe. Anyways, I feel like I had my space and I was like in my rap phase. And then I went to my scene phase. So my music really fluctuated as like my profile song that automatically played.

But OK, let's just talk about top eight for a second, because that is the most toxic ranking system. Like if we had a MySpace top eight now on Twitter or Instagram, like that would be the most controversial thing. Like, I can't believe we did that. We rated our friends. We literally would shuffle our friends. Like if you got in a fight with someone, I move that bitch right down to eighth place. Right.

And it was I mean, he was quick to say, oh, yeah, it's the last thing you want to do is be the second person to move. Oh, being the second person, I'd rather be fourth.

Can you imagine if it got to the point where you were like, when are you going to move me? We're not that good of friends anymore. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh my God. Like the top. A arrangement was so stressful and so much pressure and I feel like your best friend is your best friend.

Yeah.

It's like if you had family or like if you had a guy that you had a crush on and you like talk to them a lot so you'd like creep them up in the top like they go from like, oh my God, no, no.

Like there was so much thought process that had to go into the top eight. It's very stressful.

I mean, thank God everything has been just smooth sailing since then. Thank God. You know, everyone's always like, yeah, like my space. It's not like time like walked away with, like a half a billion dollars. He's a Hobbit photographer now. He's really got a great Instagram account.

Does he? Yeah. Oh, you know, he's getting shit on every other day. Zuckerberg probably deserves it. I mean, Tom Sailin Free Tom is Tom is living his life. Tom Bradley Fox.

Tom Fox. Yeah. Can you imagine like Zuck enough.

I guess I'm at the bar last night. Oh remember Tom from MySpace. Yeah. Tom know what it was like.

The most nostalgic photo of Tom looking over his shoulder wearing the white shirt. Yeah. Like brown haired. Why do you think that he hates that picture. He loves it.

Um, I feel like he probably feels nostalgic about it.

Right. It's like getting up on twenty years now. It's been.

So I wonder what he looks like now. Oh, my God. So we're going to go to omegle and then we're going to look at Tom and see what Tom's doing. Look at Tom's new photos. I wonder if Tom's married and have kids and stuff.

Now, I don't remember if it was a clean break between MySpace and Facebook or if I just, like, stopped using MySpace world and picked it up.

I honestly don't remember it, but I think I'm almost positive I got over MySpace for everybody else did deleted it. And it was like, oh, fine, I'll come back on or whatever, like disabled my account or whatever before moving on. Facebook. Oh, I distinctly remember that I got onto Facebook and I was trying to get all my friends on Facebook, I was like, MySpace is out through a brand ambassador for Facebook. I was a brand ambassador.

Yeah, absolutely. I was trying because I remember I was trying to get the guy that I liked to get on Facebook.

He'd even have MySpace. I was trying to get her on social media in general. So like like like his life and stuff. Got it.

I'm like you. Yeah, I remember I added his sister and I was like, I'll befriend the sister to get to the friend.

I would call that strategic. I would call you a salesperson. Yeah. Yeah I, I remember I kind of get on Facebook and like kind of like, you know, whatever, but I feel like that was like right when I was starting to like play more sports and music and this and that. And social media was not a priority when Facebook started to pop off for me.

Oh, man, no. I definitely Facebook to lollypops where Tumblr fallen in the mix.

Oh, Tumblr. Tumblr was definitely during my Facebook. OK, so I Tumblr the hardest in grade 12. So 2011 when I was like at peak Tumblr. So that would have been overlapping Facebook, a little bit of Twitter and so much Tumblr.

The only the last time I saw my MySpace was I remember when I knew I was going to be on TV, I was talking to somebody who had been on TV right before then. I was like, I got advice. And they were like, Yeah, go to your MySpace, go delete it. When I was like, I don't have MySpace. And he's like, no, you do.

Everyone does. Yeah, yeah. Fucking delete it. And I was like, oh my God, you're right. And the amount of people that you can find still like their MySpace.

I went to MySpace was still alive. Maybe I don't, I don't know. I actually have no idea. But you know what Facebook I feel like was the beginning of me taking a shit ton of photos like I wanted to, like every time I had, like, a sleepover with my friends.

We take photos and, like, make those stupid music videos. And then you'd post a whole album of sleepover photos that were just absolutely atrocious.

Well, you know, that's how Instagram like the idea started. Right? Facebook was already there and these two couples were on a vacation. And is this true? Yeah. And one took a picture of it.

And so the idea, like the guy is like, oh, someone takes a picture and then the other person wants to have a better picture. And so the idea, like the gamification piece of like I want to have this moment there one remember as a photo album, but there's a game of vacation piece, like I want my photo to stand out and be as best as it can be.

I mean, I'm I haven't heard this in years, but I'm pretty sure that's kind of like the initial idea got rolling. I'm sure everyone will up with you fucking idiot. That's not how it started. Oh, my God, I'm not that interesting. And then Zuckerberg bought the fuck out of it. Right. And then both fuck about and then copied Snapchat and Instagram stories. And it's all. It's all.

Yeah. Yeah. Just so anyway, before all that. So I was a Tumblr person. I found Tumblr later when I was probably looking up for some other porn category.

Tumblr came up and I was like, oh, say no more.

That was a good no. I was like, that was perfect. Yeah, that was really nice. It sounded fake.

Yeah. Tumblr, Tumblr is like that.

What I just realized what for the people that were actually posting the nudes themselves on Tumblr. Yeah. If only they had only fans, then, oh, yeah, they could have quite literally was only fans without a monetization strategy for free. Wow.

And like in the form of lots of like, gifts, gifts, I had a few gifts that were saved and I was like, this is it.

What did you, um, would you say this for anyways. I'm so sorry about masturbation.

Next week, Tom. Tumblr was so good. I would say I was like a 15 know maybe probably even less than that. I feel like mostly like I was I was so like deep into my scene stage when I was in Tumblr. So I wanted, like, this aesthetic Tumblr.

And you spent so much time curating the perfect Tumblr. Oh, my God. Finding the perfect layout. Oh my God.

Yeah, it was a lot. And so anyways, it was probably like five percent porn gifts and then ninety five percent me trying to like achieve the scene aesthetic that I was going for.

Never both. So, you know, there might may have been some crossover multitasking. Yeah, yeah, it's not that it's out of the question, but yeah, no, I loved I loved Tumblr. Oh my God.

Fact cake donuts are far superior to these donuts. And anyone who disagrees doesn't know donuts, OK?

I don't know what planet you're living on, but least donuts are the only donuts that are acceptable in any situation.

That's ridiculous because I know for a fact you like cake and a cake. Doughnut is cake.

I like cake with my cake and I like to buy donuts. And that's why. Can't you have both? Why can't you have both. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Oh my God. You know, not any food. So let me just talk to everyone out there. Listen, do you all love food? Of course you do. More importantly, do you love debating about food? And subscribe now to Food Fight, the Food podcast where we argue about our favorite pastime, eating each week on food fight.

Kirk Pynchon and Lindsay Gentille have a fully opinionated and completely uneducated discussion about food, with a few fun facts thrown in. For good measure, we offer up no real solutions, just strong opinions that we will defend to the death. Opinions like a burger with a cold piece of cheese on it is better than just a plain burger. Why would you eat a cool piece of cheese on a burger instead of just having the burger? If there is a piece of cheese and there's an option to use the piece of cheese, I am using it.

Whether it's cold or high, it doesn't matter. Listen, if you're a foodie, a food fan or just someone who likes you, good argument. Pause the podcast you're listening to right now and subscribe to Food Fight available wherever you get your podcast. And listen to Lindsay.

I am always carax speaking of all these, and it's not that we don't use them still, but isn't it crazy to think what social media meant to you before it became part of your livelihood?

I like social media has just like it's so weird, like a I can't imagine what it would have been like to grow up with the social media.

So I have now, like if I had sixteen with tech talk, like I don't even know what that would have looked like.

There's this trend on tech talk right now and hang on. Oh, God. Almost died.

OK, so there's this trend on tech talk right now where these like young fucking kids, they probably are sixteen, seventeen. And they are it's to this like sexy song and they basically are on all fours.

They like dive down with their head and it's just their ass in the air and a silhouette usually with like the tick tock led lights in the background of like red or like some sexual color.

And it makes it look like a povey of like them going down on you and then.

And then. Yeah. And this is like fucking fifteen year old kids doing this. And I'm like, oh my God, go play outside, like go the fuck outside and go play with a doll or kick a ball around because like what is going on, it's literally so sexual. And like the whole gag with this tech talk is like they'll do it and be so sexual about it and then they'll snap out of it and they'll like pretend like, oh my God, I can't believe I posted this.

And that's like the scene. They connect with the clip afterwards. So it's like they dive down assignee and then they come up and they're like, oh my God, look, I'm going to regret posting this tomorrow.

And oh, it makes me so uncomfortable. I just like being twenty seven. Ontake talking like having those served up to me and like I can't imagine being a 27 year old dude and having that served up to you like a fifteen year old girl with or ass like.

Well also I don't know what is in the water but 15 year olds do not look like they did when we know high school.

I mean, I just made a take talking like this is what I looked at. It looked like at fifteen and like, why do you look like it's because they had James. Charles, James.

Charles is the reason everyone understands how to do their makeup, to do their makeup and put themselves together. And also, I think Charles Shardul Shadow.

James Charles, shout out to Sister James and I feel like also to online shopping. But you just have access to, like, any kind of style that you want to have. It's like you can achieve it and you can have it for a super, super affordable price like Sheean and Rumbly or whatever of those websites.

Like, I don't know what those are, but it's like kind of sketchy, like fast fashion. But it's like you can literally just have any type of style that you want. You can do your makeup, you can wear lashes, you can get your hair done, you can do your own hair. And you know how to how to do all of it at fourteen. It's really scary.

I think we were ugly. Yes. It's like our our is the the age that had cameras in our pockets and took a lot of pictures. Yes. Those are out there. But peak ugly. Yeah. Because we didn't know how to do anything, nor do we have face down, nor did we have face tune or anything or it.

Oh my God. Oh peek ugly.

We're going to look I mean like looking at black and white photos now of like back in like the twenties and thirties or whatever, like people are just like, you know, polished and put together for the most part. Really, we're going to look at our age just like, oh my God, what, like the precipice of fucking ridiculousness.

We did that. And then. On the Internet to share, and we're proud of it, I just like looking back at social media and understanding like the role, I guess, that it played in my life getting into college or whatever it is that I didn't have it, but like, it was not a a driving factor or force in my social life at all.

Interesting. And. I thought I got on Twitter late and sort of using it late, and I don't really use Twitter much at all anymore, but like I feel like I got on late and Instagram like I had it. I didn't really use it or whatever. And just to think that, like. I guess I am more comfortable with the idea of growing up without social media at all than having social media at the age of 10, because I don't know what kind of person I would be.

Maybe the same thing. I don't know if I had it even earlier.

Right. Right. No. One hundred percent. I definitely was an early adopter, I'd say to social media, like, I like the idea of a deal. I liked the idea of all of it. Like I was on Twitter in high school getting my friends on Facebook, I was into Tumblr, all of it. Like I feel like I was down with everything new Instagram.

I was so excited about that. I feel like to also, if you were interested in taking photos growing up and were like, I'm a photographer, I'm like your shitty point and shoot camera. Like, I feel like Instagram was like a really exciting place to be and just just like share photos. But it's so interesting to think about if I would have gotten addicted to like the Khloe and the likes and the comments had I not ended up in, like, the path that I did, being like a YouTube or an influencer, all that stuff.

But I feel like it's just so it's dangerous. I don't know. Like I feel like when I when I was like deep, deep in social media, I knew who I was. I knew what I wanted to do. I knew my career path, all of that, like everything was so much more secure.

But I feel like if you don't have that stuff hashed out when you're younger and you have like those toxic influences of people showing only the highlights of their life, especially on Instagram, I feel like Instagram now is like starting to get better with showing less of like just polished face tuned photos.

And like four years ago that was just at whatever phase two and one and two came out. My God. Oh, my God. It's like Photoshop hasn't always been here, but when it went to mobile. Right. And removed this make this bigger, like, oh my God. Yeah, yeah.

No, there's there's some things that I just thought about it. I wish I was in a dark place once. Festoon was around that thing back in nineteen inches. You think that would have flown. You can log off now.

Phase two is just like walked guys just by my cab was like yeah I'm going yeah I, I'll pass on this. So I get it. I get it. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know. No I think, I think two years ago was like the peak of diagrams showcasing just like the highlight reel and making everything looks so perfect.

But people put this like this, this, this the blue check on a platter like as it is if it's like a platter onto some pedestal like I remember whenever I got verified in Instagram, God only knows for what fucking reason. Right. I remember I had my friends and business were like, well how did you get verified. Right. They know that like what are you doing famous. Like why what is that got you verified remember. And I didn't have a good answer was like I don't know why they verified me and they were oh OK.

Because like, I'm really trying to get verified and you know, it's hard to not just be like, why?

Because well no, it's it's exclusivity and I have it. You do. Yeah. Yeah. So that makes me whatever it is that they deem me to be worthy of that blue checkmark.

Right, exactly.

Outside of a new couple of different filters on the back end for your DMS. It's the same thing. It's yeah. It's the exact same thing. Shit I like. That's a total lie. Keep it in. Keep me honest. There's a very, very, very important piece of being verified.

What is it. Way easier to get attention, girls, to Ms. Way easier, right? But it didn't work for me, though. I miss your D.M.. Yeah, but you're not like other girls, Ben. I literally hate you so much, he just looked at the camera. For those of you on the audio only version of this. Oh, my God, no, I will be pining after you. I will say that I had no one pining after me, but no one else did it.

No one pining after me. No one knew we were meant to be. That's why.

Oh, thank God. And I was only pining after you for years. Right. Right. For that whole time. The whole time. I will say that there are a few perks of like the blue check in terms of interacting with other people who are also verified. So it's like if you're trying to get the attention of someone that you like, look up to or something. We have a tab on Twitter specifically where it's like, I don't have that one.

Oh, yeah, you don't have that one. Obviously, I'm better than you because I have the checking. You do.

Am I inferior? Yes, obviously I will work on getting better verified.

All right. Well, there you go. A task for the next couple of weeks. So I have between cleaning the pool, I have an all mentioned.

So that's like every interaction, all that's where we all fit into, you know, and then I've got regular mentions, which is just like all the ads, and then I have a verified tab. So anyone who's also verified that interacts with my content, whether I follow them or not, goes into that tab. Yeah. So, I mean, if you if you are trying to get the attention of like a business and like this is when you see influencers, like when they have a complaint about a company and they want to shit on them publicly, the company, like they'll they know the company going to see it because they have a verified time and they're like, OK, customer service.

Where you at?

I have mixed feelings about that. Think Lauren likes that a few times. Oh, you finished some things that I feel like I've come to you with my customer service issues like baby use your your verified tab.

Yeah, yeah. I don't put them on blast, so like people will like put them on blast publicly.

People do that sometimes just to be seen as if like that's going to give them power too. I guess I'll get into that in a moment. Like the amount of like verified people that I've seen complain about, like when an airline loses their luggage and they'll put them on blast and like because they're verified and the airline is verified, it's just like a whole other level of just like, oh, it's so bad.

You're losing anybody the luggage today. Yeah, truly. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

So, OK. Question for you and be real. I don't know. So if social media disappeared tomorrow. Yeah. Right. What is don't say like I started career. Right. Like personal ones. Right. Like that as represented such a big and important piece of your life. What do you think you would miss most.

I mean, I think just the connection portion of social media is the most wholesome part of it.

Right. Is like being able to connect with. Well, for me, it's people that I don't know, people who would like appreciate my content and relate or whatever.

So viewers, it's that portion of being able to connect with someone that lives halfway across the world that you would have never crossed paths with otherwise.

And then also to like people who I grew up with in my hometown, like I just talked to my friend who I grew up with as a kid. And he's like in his first year of law school, you know, and it's like he still lives twenty five hundred miles away and like, are we friendly enough that we would ever go get coffee and, like, call each other up on our home phones? Like, no, probably not. But it was so nice to catch up via, you know, your home phones.

You know, like the, um, the the what's even called when you like Rotary are plugged into the the wall.

Like the phone, like the phone. Like, what's that called? You have your cell phone and like when people are like, oh, we disconnected our landline, that's it.

Oh, my God, we're so in the land. Yeah.

Landline anyways. But like, we were never close enough that, like, we would go get coffee or dinner to catch up.

But it was still so nice, like having this five minute conversation with him catch you up and being like, oh like you're doing great. That's awesome. That's so cool to hear. And so I think it's like that portion. I think it's also too I would miss being able to get inspiration from others, like that's so fucking cheesy.

But like there are genuinely so many people creating different things from all over the world in different styles and different genres in fucking every art category ever in the world, music, theater, movies, TV, like a physical art, whatever it is.

And being able to have a place to showcase that and find your community through an online social media is like such an incredible concept. When you look at it from like a wider scope.

I mean, that's the big that's like when I asked that question, the immediate thought was I think it would be so uncomfortable creating a podcast that was new without seeing people respond and interact and resonate with it.

Like that's all like traditional TV, like imagine talking, having conversations and then hearing nothing back. Right. Like that.

So even today, like with HBO. Right. It's just different. It's you don't own it. You're right to be like that's not something that you can understand, like what people are talking about. Obviously they could take it to social media. Yeah, well, like you don't own the channel. Like we're able to see, like, OK, how much did people like actually stay on the video and where do they come from? And like this is like real information, if that's helpful.

And I feel like all the people that I've connected with and like I said, like, thank you for sharing and listening like that to me is just like it just like completes the loop. Right.

It completes the circle. It completes the conversation. Right. Right. Not this isn't a fun conversation. It is. And I'm I'm stimulated. Tell me about the photos or like the post that you've provided of social media that I've privy.

Yeah. The ones like I had posted and then I just deleted them. Well, yeah.

So like the other day, just for example, like I realized that I had many albums on Facebook that were still public that you could go view if we were friends on Facebook.

And I decided that I didn't want to delete them. I want them for the memes for sure.

Like there's the memes, the memes are dogood like they're just they're just too embarrassing and too good that they can't be fully deleted because they're not backed up anywhere else, but they don't need to be shared with everyone else like.

Right. So you're comfortable leave them on Facebook server. Yes. OK, got it. Yes. Zuks don't fuck me over here. Keep them safe. I let him down. Yeah. Thank you so much. Chat with them.

So I mean mine consists mostly of very embarrassing, like high school photo shoot in front of graffiti walls wearing like an Abercrombie tank top and a leather jacket and to be trying to be like fashionable and cool or like sleepovers where we're like hyped up on, like grape pop or something, you know what I mean?

Like, just just sugar. But yeah, I mean, I think I'm putting a lot of trust in Zuks for sure to make this private and just for me.

But those just don't need to be, um, public for everyone. Yeah.

Like the very much relate to that. Oh you would elaborate. Oh yeah. Please elaborate. I have a bet. So this is probably one of my oldest insecurities that carried over and manifested and continues today. I feel like with the deleting and taking things private, I have a very bad habit of when I'm embarrassed by something or don't want it to exist anymore publicly, even though it holds a special place in my heart, I just delete it.

You just delete, you don't even archive it. Yeah, I'm like, forget it, it's gone. And like, I honestly think that I've got about fourteen pictures of me from the age like zero to nineteen or so. Yeah. I just like I just deleted the memes. No I know it's an insecurity of mine for sure. Why are you erasing the meme. I just haven't come to terms with whoever I was at the time babe. I do that so, so much.

In fact they're all gone now so I don't really know if I'm over or not. But I even remember this is what it was like, the height of like me deleting things or whatever. I remember when I moved out to L.A. and had enough people following on social media from like TV and other shit that I remember. I kept getting called out for content I'd put out that was me singing or performing or doing something. And I called out I mean, like half of it was like, oh my God, you're so good.

It's amazing.

You should do more and more, just like noticed half and the other half. Were you Clowe chasing bitch, this is all you want to do. You failed at that. And because you failed at that, you're trying to just like meet and hang out with people that are actually better than you therefore.

Oh, my God, that's so we're going to meet you in this box. And so as opposed to me being like, no, I think I'm proud of what I did. I am proud of what I did. It's going to stay up. I'll do more of it whenever I have time. I got rid of it. Yeah, and even to the point where, like not even that long ago, I probably since we've been together, I find a video of like, I'll just take it down.

No, but there's this like and it's like the imposter syndrome, but also the the like the reality of the fact, like when you are trying to just not like, devote energy to feeling bad about some thing or whatever.

Like it's not to say that like some, you know, 10 year old in Iowa who has some, like, nice Twitter fingers is going to hurt my feelings, really. But I'm just like like I don't know, I don't even want to have this conversation or that have to go or whatever. So, like, if this somehow comes out this way or whatever, forget it.

Right. I mean, I just had a conversation about a friend who has a small business and has had a few take talks pop off. And she asked me my opinion on comment filters.

She's like, is that bad business or good business? And I feel very strongly that a comment filter is your fucking best friend. Out of sight, out of mind, I think a for your own mental health. It's so good. And like, maybe I'm delusional and I'm like, oh my God, my fan base is so nice. Like, I love my community. Everyone's so kind and authentic and genuine and like so nice and like we love each other and it's rainbows and fucking sparkles.

Sometimes it is and sometimes it absolutely is.

But I just like I probably have, especially on YouTube, over 200 words filtered out.

And it's just like the negative stuff. It's like, I don't want to see it, I don't want others to see it. But that that alone should be enough. If you want to see it, it's your page. Yeah. You shouldn't have to have another reason, your fucking page.

Well, also, too, it's like I just don't want my community to be a place of negativity and I don't want to even like, put a seed of negativity into someone else's head. Know. I mean, like what if they make a comment about my body and someone's like, oh, they read that and they think about that later on in the day about their body. Like, I'm just like not trying to have that happen on my show.

Go somewhere else for that. There are so many trolls and people who thrive off drama on YouTube and I make fucking crafts, but also like and I feel like I used to think, well, let me just tell this person got it wrong.

Like, Oh, you think this let me correct let me like.

Yes, not about there's not by the right or wrong. Just, just get rid of it. Like the amount of my blocked list grows and it will continue to grow. And the amount of my favorite of course is like people that like you block and then later on like, oh I don't think that anymore. Why do you have me block. Oh, I was just about to say that my favorite is like the blocking for no reason.

Do you know how many steps you have to get to to block somebody. No one is blocked x I'm sure it's happened. Yeah.

I have a locked anybody accidentally and I know what.

I'm so sorry that I just it's ridiculous to me that like you. Oh. Someone like unblock them or whatever.

No, I feel like the most common situation that we have personally is that when we first like went public, being like I am in a relationship with Jerry, Michael Lewis, whatever this person and people obviously being big fans of Lurex, we're like just fucking so sweet to me.

So nice. Oh, you mean like vicious.

Some people were vicious. I remember you were like, I hear you, OK? And I was just like, oh, is it love inside? Yeah.

You were Treleaven. You handled it like a champ. I was mad. I was mad. And so we blocked a bunch of people, both of us, because I was like, you know what? If you're going to be a hater, like by like go find someone else. Like, you don't have privilege to see my country anymore by like, it's my my choice, my control. Right. And and then, you know, they realize that you were not a horrible person and that this was real and that you were probably going to stick around for a while in my life into my content.

And they came around to the idea of you and they were very sad. They're block six months later and they were like, oh, like, why did Jeremy has me blocked? Like, can you tell them to unblock me? I don't know why. He was like, are you sure it wasn't the two paragraphs? I hate message that you left a couple of months ago about his dad. You should go away. But, you know, this is my life.

I know. I know. Oh, my God.

Obviously, like, we invite people to this type of format and, like, interact in all ways. And also we upset you. I totally get it. You have every right to be upset. But if you just going to be hateful on our page, that ain't the place.

Go somewhere else. There's so many people outcast.

I mean, ninety nine point ninety nine percent just positive. So I don't know what it is to be thrown out there.

But like I'm visiting with the people, we're throwing out dicks. No one can be mad at Grace. I believe you're right. I really can't. I think someone could probably.

Well, no, I just haven't met anyone that's mad with Grace. Definitely. Yeah, OK, fine. But I'm a full in favor of blocks. They do eat the mute function.

I think if you want to be less problematic, if you're scared of any kind of confrontation, the mute feature is very useful.

I utilize it all the time. I think also too, like there have been a few specific influencers whose bodies and just like their I honestly just like their physique, make me feel insecure. And it was negative towards my own mental health. And the moment that I'm mute them and didn't see them anymore and didn't compare myself to the. Like, hopefully they never find out because I don't want to take it personally, but it's for me, it's not them, right?

Like when you break up, it's not you. It really is me. You should be able to control what you see. Totally. Absolutely. Enemy Instagram algorithm would disagree.

But, you know, with the powers that we do have, anything you do have, I absolutely think that if you have the control, you should use it.

Agreed. Yeah. Like good luck spilling any of my exes names correctly or very incorrectly, even my bad ones.

All of it a little you have to put, like, the name and then misspelled the name, you got a misspelled. Yeah. Oh my God, I got rid of that. Oh, yes, I'm a page with that shit.

Like it. Go somewhere.

I don't want my name all over hers, you know, I just like I just feel like at the end of the day, like, do you think that leaving a comment telling me to get back with my ex is going to make me sad and leave my current life to get back to my ex? Like, No, it's a real life.

I'm so sorry to fantasy. We actually live between. Right. It's not like what's that? That I feel like I get an ad for that game all the time where you get to like it's not Sims, but you get to like you get like three choices of what your next life decision is and you get to like pick uh.

I don't know anyways. OK, Rapid-fire questions. If you only could have one social platform for the rest of your life, which one would it be.

You do OK, but then closely followed by tick tock, tick tock was on tip of my tongue.

But then I realized that YouTube is my livelihood in that I couldn't pay my mortgage if I didn't have YouTube.

But I love to talk. I love to talk with my entire being.

I'm coming around to YouTube more and more. YouTube is for me the the biggest obviously there's some negative people on there. We just talked about it. But the amount of talent and creative outlets that has been created through YouTube, I think is unmatched.

YouTube is an absolute game changer of like media in general.

We were able to a disruptor think about all the people that we were able to reach essentially for free because they paid for it.

Right? Actually, they pay us to do it. Like that is it's amazing.

It's free content. And it absolutely changed the game of just like how content is made and delivered and watched.

Right. Oh, oh. OK, let's wrap this up on this question, because I feel like this is a controversial question and there a lot of different opinions on it.

Do you think it's OK for people in relationship to follow a shit ton of the the opposite gender, sex, sexuality, whatever that they are attracted to?

Better because I do well, OK, I'm OK with it. I am not bothered by that. That's what do you what do you think what's your opinion on that. So situational. No, here's the deal. I have been in relationships where I felt like I can't do that interesting and or not that I couldn't do like that. I mean, I'm the first one to be like, oh, my God, look how what look at this picture like we will.

I feel like we will argue over just beautiful people together together. Right. And if I didn't feel like I could do that, then it would be a problem if we didn't like it. But it's the same same thing.

Like, I don't think twice about like talking to girls or anybody that like whether you know them or not or whatever, because it's not something that I couldn't talk about while you were in the same room.

It's not like a secretive standpoint. It's secretive. It's sketchy. Right. I mean, like if you if you were a very friendly with a guy back in high school that like if you took it if I took it out of context and didn't know anything, whatever, I'm not going to be mad about it because I know where it's coming from.

It's 100 percent about the situation. Situational. It is. It really is situational. Me talking myself. Yeah. It's a little weird that my discovery page, the day, it was just like it's just dogs and women don't.

Yeah, it's hot girls, huskies and bull terriers and some like weird nerdy tech shit and some weird nerdy textured.

But yeah, that's my life. But that is my life though. Dog, beautiful girlfriend, tech nerd things. Thanks babe.

That's a great note to end on. Yay. Also also guys, we would love to hear your opinions and sides of the conversations of anything that we weighed in on today. So, like, let us know if you've got a podcast, Pop. Let us know if you think that it's OK for Jeremy to follow Alexis run. Let us know if it is OK. It truly is. She's so hot. I also follow her because she is so hot.

And would you call me out like that? What do you mean why not? Like you put a name to it.

She's so hot. She is like the like icon of hotness. I feel like. I mean, yeah. If you're number one, she's definitely on the top hundred list.

Good answer. But we would love to hear from you guys in the comments. Anything that we talked about that you would you want to weigh in on one on.

Yeah. Controversial or not. Unless it's mean, unless it's a comment then it'll probably get filtered out. Actually, I don't think the Wild Online Nine YouTube channel has any comment filters right now. So no one has.

But I've I've removed people from the channel. You have.

Yeah. Oh my God. It's a mall. They've said, OK, well bye. They got to go and I've got to go and like most of them are about you. And I was like, OK, you got to go. Oh my God. Really baby, I can take it. That's so nice.

But I can take it now. My girlfriend. I'm going to happens. Thank you so much. This has been a views podcast.

My name's DAX Shepard. My name is Jason Nash. And this is pretty basic. My folks my Robbie said something to my customer.

Yeah. She asked me if this was the Prius of trucks and I said, no.

Oh, no, it's not. You want me to just lie to a customer?

Robbie, you always tell your friends their baby is beautiful and you always tell a soccer mom that she's getting the Prius, whatever the hell it is she's getting.
