A
Hello and welcome back to the Canceled podcast. Canceled from Perth for now. Not for long. Right now we're down under. And soon we'll be down underground.
B
Down under financially. Oh, yeah. Can you guys believe you're tuning into one of the final episodes of Cancelled before we take this shit out back? And Old Yeller, it. I've been saying that on stage.
A
She says it every night. Not a single.
B
No one gets it.
A
At least out here. But although I did look it up, and apparently it's like, it's originated in New Zealand.
B
That is so weird.
A
Which is.
B
So did my joke. My joke originated.
A
They got it.
B
Oh, they got it. But I keep doing that a lot. Like, I keep making, like, a FedEx joke. And no one laughs. Like, they don't know what FedEx is. Tana. There's, like, more to it.
A
FedEx. What do they have? Also for people who don't know what we're talking about, Old Yeller apparently is a movie where they take a dog out back and shoot it.
B
No, but, like, they know.
A
Do they know? I didn't know. I've never heard of it.
B
That is so wild to me. Because, like, Old Yeller is so.
A
That's my. I. I don't know. The only dead dog I know is Win Dixie.
B
Oh, and Marley. And me.
A
And Marley.
B
Yeah. That's a good movie. That's a really. I don't know. My dad would always be like, Old Yeller. You know what I mean? So maybe that's just, like, why that's dark. I love this set, by the way. It's giving murder mystery.
A
Me too.
B
Clue, realness. Like, it's just. I feel so.
A
Like, honestly, it's. It's right on brand. Because I'm back on my. My kick. I just watched Amy Bradley is missing.
B
Oh, my. And you watched the CO Burger documentary.
A
I did. I've watched so many, like, lately. I just watched another one this morning, but I.
B
What? Amy Lou is missing.
A
Amy Bradley. It's the girl who goes missing on a cruise ship in international waters.
B
They think that she was, like, Natalie Holloway.
A
Yeah, but she, like, people have seen her since, like, they cute. They said that she jumped overboard or fell overboard or whatever. But, like, people have spotted her on the beach in Barb, Barbados, since Natalie.
B
Holloway was also Barbados. Wow.
A
Really? And, well, now she's like. People think she's like, she got stolen for sex trafficking.
B
Oh, wow. That's. That literally was what I was gonna ask next. That's why.
A
Yeah, it's horrible.
B
That is really wild. Did he admit to it. Like he pled guilty and he's like, yeah, I did that.
A
He just now did. Yes.
B
Is it in the documentary?
A
I can't remember.
B
It's such a wild.
A
But I know it just. Just now happened after everything. It's so crazy. Crazy.
B
And the, like, government wouldn't let them check the house for evidence. Right? Like they tore it down or something.
A
I mean, not in the documentary I saw.
B
Oh, yeah. I don't know. I might just be making up. You know, I love a good televised case.
A
Me too.
B
You have actually so many things to talk about, I don't even know where to begin. Let me look. And I'm just on the brink of myself, which is like I. I have ibs.
A
I know. Yeah. Tana's really experiencing a bout of irritable. Irritable bowel syndrome, like, so bad.
B
But it's always before something canceled related, like the show, even before this podc.
A
Blame us.
B
I know. I.
A
It's not our fault. You're shitting your pants.
B
It's so funny because I'm looking in my canceled document of just like, notes and this is really funny.
A
Document? Not even like a note.
B
No, no, it's a note. Oh, I don't know why I said document. Like I'm in the CIA. It's funny. Maybe in one of the next episodes before we go, we should look back at all past topics because it's just like Billy Ray Cyrus. Why did I write that down?
A
What's so funny?
B
A Thousand men a day.
A
I don't have a. I don't have one specific note for this. I have. I just make a new one every time. So sometimes I'll have a note that only has like two things and it's like Beef Wellington. Yes.
B
Notes that are mine. Raise your Yaya skinny jeans. Michaela Testo.
A
This one only says Murphy's birthday because I couldn't believe that you didn't wish.
B
Her a happy birthday. That's really funny because I know the exact moment in the Trevi episode when you check that note and you said, guys, it's Murphy's birthday.
A
Hailey Bieber, Billionaire, Tana Sutra. See, I like, that's how far I get. I can't. That's.
B
So mine is like, no, I keep mine all together. But then it's just like, so funny. Ashtravino messaged me. Oh, my God.
A
Amaya.
B
Not. This was an old one.
A
When did she message you?
B
I don't know. Did Asino even message me? I know she said that like she didn't know who I was. Maybe that's what I meant. Amaya Papaya messaged me.
A
I know. I woke up first of all. Amaya Papaya. Oh, my God, I love you so much. I. I'm. It's like everybody loves Amaya, but I know that nobody loves Amaya as much as I personally couldn't.
B
I couldn't agree more. I was literally telling her. I was like, this is so parasocial, but, like, protect your heart. Like, I love you.
A
She's so cute.
B
I love her so much. I haven't cried. Like, the way I cried when she won was, like, unacceptable. I'm so sorry. No matter how much you love her, you care. Like, you don't know these people. I will never be watching Love island again, by the way.
A
Yeah, it was. It got pretty dark there at the end.
B
Yeah. And just the amount of consumption and parasocial and, like, just whatever. Like, all of it. Like, and just it being a daily thing as well. Like, if it was a weekly thing, I'd be cool with that because you have time to let it sit and just, like, I genuinely felt like I lost life.
A
It was kind of. To me, it was dark to watch, like, the public opinion shift so rapidly that it, like, it almost, like, mimicked real life. But, like, on. In this, like, very, you know, condensed, like, time period, how we would go from, you know, like, Shelly is America's princess to everyone's calling Shelly a mean girl, and then we love her again. Like, it was so strange and, like, kind of, and it just, like, yucky to watch.
B
I know they can go to the, like, psychiatrist and whatever, but it's still. It's just a fish tank. It feels wrong. Like, just the Huda of it all. Like, all. Even now, just, like, seeing all of the discourse still going on and just, like, the. I don't know, like, all of it is just, like.
A
I know it's wild. It's time, but I do, like, honestly, I love so many people who came out of that. I love Iris and Pepe. I love, love Shelly and Landry. I love, like, I love. I loved the cast this season. I shamelessly loved Huda, and I think I was ahead of my time because everybody came to love Huda again. You don't.
B
I, like, go so back and forth. It's not that I don't that I dislike her. It's that I think a lot of. But you could also say this about 80 of people, if you put them into that show and all of their patterns and, you know, ways of communication and traits and things were aired out publicly. Like, a lot of people need to do inner work, right? Like, and people would probably say that about me in certain capacities. Like.
A
And you didn't watch her Call Her Daddy episode?
B
I did watch a bunch of it. Like, I think a lot of it makes sense. You know what I mean? And, like, just. I want nothing but the best for her as well. I think I do have a soft spot in that regard where I'm, like, I want her to be the best mom. I want her to find love. I want her to, like, heal these things and accountabilities and whatnot, you know? I don't know.
A
Yeah, I don't know. I don't excuse bad behavior. But I also, like, when I see somebody act out like, that, I, like, always assume there's some sort of trauma behind it. I feel like I sympathize with those people a lot more than maybe I should. But I really loved her. Yeah, I still love her.
B
And she's beautiful. And, like, she's. She's on the path to, like, she has all the tools for, like, the greatest path ever. And I. Like, that's. That is one thing that I will say, like, regardless. What I hate is seeing people want people to, like, die and, like, live a horrible life. Like, even when people have been awful across this, it's like, all I want is for them to, like, thrive. And, like, it's crazy seeing how many people, like, genuinely wanted to, like, burn these people to the ground. It's like, what do you mean? I mean, like, they're people, too, you know? And it's like, at what point could somebody not do anything right and never have an opportunity to actually grow and, like, move on? Like, I feel like Cancel culture is getting to this point where people just literally want to see people.
A
I feel that way as well, which.
B
Is, like, why, like, even just all the Huda stuff, I was like, oh, my God. Like, she's still just, like, a woman and a mother. She's 24.
A
Like, yeah, that might be a part of me, like, really, like, having empathy for her, too, is just, like, understanding, like, what. That. What she was gonna feel like when she got out and saw how many people, like, were hating her and, like, being so horrible about every little thing that she did. And so in my head, I was like, I want to protect her.
B
All of them. Like, it's. I. Yeah, I just like, what a crazy social experiment that is. Love Island. Like, there's a part of me, I think, and I don't know, because I Don't. I don't do this. But, like, if I worked on that show, I would feel equivalent to, like, handling dirty money.
A
No, if I worked on that show, I would be. I would be behind the scenes filling everybody in on secrets. I'd be like, you have to stop acting like this. I promise. Like, it's not gonna be good. I swear. I would be. I would be in there. I would be fired so quickly, because, first of all, like, I would 100. Like, everyone would be so hyper aware of what was going on on the outside because I just couldn't let people, like, dig their own grave deeper because, you know when, like, something. Some. A narrative already exists about somebody, and then you see them validate it more and more, and you're like, no, stop, stop, stop.
B
Yeah, it's like, I agree with that. 100. I would be popping people's zits. Austin had a zit and Nick had a zit. Especially Austin. He had this whitehead across, like, three episodes where I was just like, how. I don't care if I was a bombshell entering the villa, I would have to pop that. Like, I just. Like, I don't know why people let them get white. Like, it's like, once it's white, it's ready to, like, I just. But, you know, I have a. I have. What is it called? Dermatillo mania.
A
I have no clue. I don't know. I did really enjoy. This is my first season of Love island that I ever, like, fully got through and really invested. You're right about it, like, being all consuming and, like, what do you mean? I'm. I'm dropping everything every single day to watch strangers hook up with each other on an island.
B
Yeah. Like, and just I started noticing the life was missing. I also started seeing other people around me start acting like bank robbers. Like, don't open your phone. We have to watch it now. We have to go. We have to go. Don't open your phone. Instagram, yada. And, like, I'm blocking Love island because I keep seeing photos of people with suitcases. I'm crashing out, like, and it's like, oh, my God. Like, there's so.
A
I like it. I like to have you a part of something, though. Like, this was. I really felt in on it this year because, like, season six was supposed to be, like, one of the best seasons ever, and I didn't participate. And so this time, it was so exciting to log on to TikTok. Of course, I can't do that anymore. Anymore. But I was so excited to get in there and be like, oh my God, what does everybody think about every single little thing? I agree.
B
I think it should be a weekly show. That's my only. That's like my description.
A
It would never end because it's.
B
And it is heart rates and pies in the face.
A
You know what's crazy though, is Miles is obsessed with Love island uk. So we've been watching them both together, which is even, even worse. But it's so polar opposite in the way that they act. Like Love Island USA is like borderline pornographic.
B
Like, oh, well, yeah.
A
It's so, so different than Love island uk. It's nothing like that at all. Nothing is like even the heart rate challenge, like, they're barely touching each other.
B
I want to see these people play like checkers, like do a spelling bee.
A
Like there were certain, like, I don't know, maybe it's like just hooking up because I like some of like, the twerking challenge was fun because it was like everybody was like just being funny and stuff. But like the ones where they're just required to like suck milk out of each other's mouths, I'm like, wait, what do you mean?
B
That was crazy. The milk was crazy. It could have been any other liquid. Like, why not Powerade?
A
Do you think it was real milk?
B
Like 100%.
A
You do? I don't feel like that. I feel like they would production, like.
B
They need a lot of whatever it is. Like, you know, someone just went to the fucking speedy market.
A
Don't you think it'd be easier to make like Cloudy Water?
B
Like. No.
A
Oh, well, just. I just think milk, like, what if someone's lactose intolerant?
B
Oh my God. Oh my God. I haven't thought about logistics like that. Like, like I'm a loud and like, imagine those little like stall bathrooms. It's like, sorry, nickelandrea, I just gotta blow up the toilet really quick.
A
No, I would love to know. Like, certainly I did like really look into like the behind the scenes stuff of Love Island. Like there's a day of the week that they're not even allowed to see each other. And like their meals, they're separated and it is like fascinating. I would love to like, I want inside scoop into the villa. I need to DM one of these girls.
B
Yeah, I want to know absolutely everything. But again, this is my final run. Like, I don't think I'll ever do it again. But I love Amaya and I think it's like, oh, see, she made the.
A
Whole thing worth it to me. She Did I have somebody now who I'm. So all I want is, like, the best for her and to watch and root for. And honestly, I felt that way about a lot of people.
B
Like, I 100 agree with that. And I, like, she's so pure, and I feel like no one. We haven't seen someone like her really ever. Like, she's everywhere.
A
I want to see her on Traders, I want to see her on Special Forces. I want to see her on Big Brother. Like, go everywhere, do everything. Amaya, take over the world, but also.
B
Just protect your spirit. I feel like it's like, I'm not. I'm. I'm recently a changed woman. Okay. At one point, I was no better than this. So, like, saying this is, like, crazy, you know, but, like, seeing people in LA just start clawing for, like, it's with Amaya in specifics as well, because you can just tell she has so much to give. And those are the people in Hollywood that end up getting chewed up and spit out and burnt out. You know what I mean? Because people take that light and just suck it dry.
A
I feel like she can see through that, though. I do, because, like, just seems so.
B
Pure and trusting, which is sad that Hollywood is, you know, I don't know.
A
But she sticks up. Sticks up for herself. Like, you have to remember what she was like when she first got in there. She's like, you, ace. She said, I've been saying.
B
I've been saying that you're an extremely odd individual.
A
Yeah, she sticks up for herself. I don't. I don't doubt her ability to differentiate between, like, a genuine person.
B
Well, it's just. It's hard, too, because I think that in Los Angeles, it's a lot of it is, like, people masquerading as genuine people.
A
I don't think she'll really be in Los Angeles, though. I feel like she's going to spend her time in New York.
B
That's literally what I asked her in our messages. I go, did you get back to New York? Because I just feel like New York. Yeah, it's better. It's a better place for him. What else do we have? Why did I write accidental upload?
A
Oh, my God.
B
Oh.
A
Oh, my God. I just had a war flashback, Tana. I'm sick. And listen, I. Up until now, you could ask me, like, what's your most embarrassing moment? And it would be really hard for me to think of something because, like, I've done, of course, things that I'm ashamed of and embarrassed of, but, like, never a Moment that, like, comes to my mind that I'm like, oh, my God, I want. I want to die. I want to die. Okay? And I listen, when I was in Mexico, I, you know, I'm so hard working. I was working like a dog and I had to film a try on haul a bikini. Try on, haul in what? My white fox swimsuits that I love so much. And I put them on and like, my vision was clear, you know what I mean? It was gonna be so quick because I was gonna just like put a. Put a swimsuit on, do a little quick, you know, like some posing in it, stand, look cute. Then I was gonna cut it together to 10 seconds maximum. Do you understand? And so I film it in tick tock because obviously I need the beauty filter because I hate myself, apparently. I. I put it into tick tock. It's three minutes total of footage, okay? So I have to. You know how you can't just save it from tick tock anymore? It saves the watermark. So you have to post it privately, which I did. And then I took that video and I put it into cap cut. Really?
B
Yeah.
A
Ever?
B
No.
A
Where do you edit your video?
B
I shoot them on camera. I added them in capcut and I upload them to.
A
Well, boy, will I be doing that. So I post it privately. I'm very careful to post it privately because, listen, I would sooner die than let this get out, okay? So I. I post it privately, I save it to my camera roll, and then I open it up in cap cut and I dilly dally all day. I'm editing it together, I'm cutting little pieces, and I finalize a perfect version of this video that is no more than six, seven seconds total. Okay? It's. It's just a couple cute poses done. When I go to upload it, I open my TikTok app and I have thousands of notifications. What could they be, you ask? I uploaded the full uncut video in dead silence. Me. Just literally three, three unedited minutes of me just standing and sucking in in every possible possible way. I'm sucking in, I'm turning sideways. At one point, I turn around to try and get like a little back shot. And then I get embarrassed of my own self. I'm like, oh, my God, how dare I? I turn back around. I'm. I'm out of breath because I'm sucking in so hard. I'm standing on my tippy toes. I'm falling over. Like, it's so embarrassing. At one point, I start, I like.
B
Do a Little dance.
A
I just start like.
B
I do it.
A
I start dancing and then I'm like, I get embarrassed again. I'm like, no, no, no, like, that's not it. Full video uploaded. Dead silence. All the comments are like.
B
It'S. Here's what I will say though is like, it's a bikini try on haul and I'm not joking you. If my raw footage of any try on haul that I've ever done, ever. Well, a lot of them in the past were just me talking about the clothes. I'd have to kill myself. I would like, because it's like you're posing, you want to get the shot. Especially if you're making like a seven second thing. It's a teeny shoe.
A
So like, you know, I want it. I thought it was going to be like aesthetic too. I was just gonna like, you know, I was. I don't know what this is. I can't be a real influencer. But oh my God, I've never been so embarrassed. And you know what? Then I was like, I have to lean into this because it's already like, people were already posting it all over Reddit apparently, because in the comments they were going go to here to see the video. So I ended up just fucking posting it on my own because I was like, you know what? Have it.
B
Yeah, have it.
A
And at least I can still use it as a brand deal if I physically post it myself.
B
White Fox is probably stoked on the amount of engagement.
A
Well, yeah, it has.
B
And oh, oh, no, you go, oh, it has.
A
I want to say like 11 million views now because I'm. Because I'm viral, because apparently I have the world's worst boob job and I'm built like an airpod.
B
It's so wild. Like the way that body shaming is like wrong.
A
It's a lot if you're. If you're modified.
B
Like, yeah.
A
Which I think is interesting is like, because it's a boob job, people like feel like they're not commenting on something about your body or whatever because it's fake. But then I'm like, what's the difference between that and making fun of somebody's like, hair color or, you know, you're.
B
Gonna say like, prosthetic leg.
A
I was scared I wasn't gonna say prosthetically. But I also, like, I mean, I'm sorry. Like, you just can't convince me my boob job is bad, unfortunately. I love it so much.
B
A lot of people want knockers.
A
Also. I wanted big tits. I think people Forget that. Like everyone's like, they don't look natural on her body or whatever. Like, wait till you find out I chose this size literally, so I wanted this.
B
It's also just wild how much people obviously like just not their own tits. Like I've, I, you know, now I care about other people's tits. Like, you know, when Kylie dropped the make and model, like I was a little interested.
A
Let me tell you.
B
Not enough to like, it's shame them.
A
It's totally normal to have feelings like that, okay? And what I say to these people is text it in your group chat. Make fun of people's boob job in your group chat and that's it. Yeah, because not on their, not in their comments.
B
But you did something for yourself where I'm very proud of you and that is you have somebody helping you with your Tick Tock so that you are not allowed to consume all of this, which I think is genius. I and just you're protecting your mental health. Like, I don't mean genius like a calculate, I mean like genius for your mental health.
A
I did it in my head. I was like, oh, I'm just gonna do it for tour because I, I just, you know, every time I open Tick tock, I see a million things I don't want to see. It destroys my day. It affects how I'm acting and how I'm thinking, like everything. So I was like, when I'm in Australia, I'm not gonna have it, whatever. And I did have a relapse about halfway or like a week ago maybe or a little more where a bunch of people in a row started sending me a positive video about me. And everyone's going watch, like read the comments, open this video, whatever. So finally I was like, you know what, let me just download it really quick. I'm never getting that up ever again, ever again. Because I went from feeling like so, like my nervous system was like so regulated. I was like perfectly fine. I opened that and that's when I found out the boob job thing was happen. I was like, everyone's going, who came from the video. Like, apparently there's like a bunch of videos about it. People like, who cares?
B
And just having like a filter for the things that you are posting as well and kind of keeping. Because that's what you want to do, right? Like privacy is power and peace. And to be able to still share things from your life but not have the ability to just rapid fire give people more like yada.
A
A lot of times, like I can't Stand on my take sometimes. Or like if I have a video and I make some, or I say something and then I post it and like, like the comments are receiving it, like in a way that you know I didn't mean or something. I immediately want to delete it and stuff. I'd rather just like not care.
B
Yeah.
A
And so I do. I have my friend who is actually the same person who's watching Murph and Mouse, but she does that for brands. Like it's, it's her job to like, like police social media for like brands and stuff. Police is probably the wrong word, but like, yeah, I don't know what the word is.
B
Filtering.
A
And so she's just been on there and all day long, transparently she's blocking everyone who's being mean to me because that's what I told her to do. I go, I don't care what it says. Like if it's a mean comment, block them. I'm shameless about that. Like I block people left and right. I don't care if like that's petty or whatever. I block everyone. She deletes, she deletes things that she knows I wouldn't want to see. And so that one day hopefully I can return to it and be like.
B
Yeah, a little more. A little. But I just think it's really like right now you don't need reply to comment feature. You don't need to be commenting that. I don't need that you need to focus on long form. What you want to focus on your future, your life, like the good things. You know what I mean? And it's just like in a perfect.
A
World they'd be able to just delete it all together. But it's also my biggest platform.
B
Yeah.
A
And my job.
B
Well, and there, there are certain things you want to share and certain people that you want to share them with. And I think that this is almost a good mental differentiation for like when you're making a video, you're like, I'm making this video for the girlies who want to see it. And then like she'll post it and like there's a connection there without all of the, the in between fluff that you can then get caught up responding to and sharing more.
A
I don't need to see mentioned you in a video. I don't need to see. Yeah, I don't need to see any of that. At least for now. I, I think like there's a, there's a point in time where I'd return to it later and maybe I feel a little bit better about it but like where are my mental's at right now?
B
I don't need to be there also forever and ever. I will just say there's something. I mean at least me, I've always loved this like making. Sitting down and making a YouTube video and editing it and posting it and it not kind of going to like a for you to the masses and it just going to people who you genuinely want to seek it out. Yeah, exactly. Is very fulfilling and fun. And obviously as we're also leaving this chapter, like we have to focus on other long form avenues that we want to take and try new things and you know, figure out how to do that. So it's good that you're like holding space for that. Let me actually not say holding space no ever again.
A
YouTube and Instagram or like safe spaces like you said. It's like you have to like go out of your way to come to somebody's like YouTube channel or Instagram. People stumble upon it.
B
A YouTube channel hate comment is almost like so lit.
A
You know what I like about a YouTube channel hate comment is that you can go to their profile and you can see all comments on this channel. So you can see every comment that they hate comments they've ever posted. Like I look at it on canceled. Sometimes someone posts an evil comment but then I see that like, like they've commented a million other things. Like so one time I saw one that's like Brooke is so hypercritical about everything Tana does. And I went to their thing and the last 12 comments are them being like so hypercritical of everything you do. I'm like, interesting.
B
Brooke and I were having this whole like manic week where we were like convincing ourselves that Clinton Kane was telling the truth the entire time. And like we're back to reality now. Like literally killed off the parents. Like they're alive. Like we're like we know now. But it was just like such a funny week. I wrote it down.
A
No, I will say like I've. I definitely like understand him a little bit more after having been to Australia. First of all, I didn't realize how close we are to like Brunei and the Philippines and stuff where I was like, it's not like so out there that he chose Australia to pretend to be from.
B
Yeah, it's like being from like rural Texas and being like I'm from Miami.
A
Yeah, I guess that's like so like.
B
Actually like wild though.
A
But then I, you know, then I was like, okay, I'm like, shit. Like, could he possibly have that accent? But then I realized that Paige is from Springfield, Massachusetts, and that would be like her having a Boston accent, although Boston is only a few miles away from her.
B
Yeah, that is very interesting. No, we got back to reality. But it was really fun. Like, we had this serious coming to moment.
A
All of a sudden, I was like, oh, no.
B
But he lied.
A
He lied. Yeah, he killed her off. Well, I'm scared.
B
Do we talk about the Belfast mayor?
A
We're never, ever. There's a reason that the canceled podcast has to end. And this is, like, up there on the list we. I. I had about the other day where I just, you know, I wanted to see what's going on.
B
Flip phone. I'm gonna get you a Motorola razor.
A
Fine. I had a. I had a hard time a couple weeks ago. I was really going through it and it was dark. Anyway, it led to me Googling us, and I saw that there was a recent article where the mayor of Belfast had to release a statement about something we had said about Belfast. We had said it was a very violent city. From our experience. We saw a lot of fighting.
B
We did see a lot of fighting.
A
We did. And we just recounted our experience. But he had to literally publicly come out and make a statement that said this. That is not the Belfast I know. These girls have it all wrong.
B
Can you find the article? Yeah, because there were, like, a few blurbs in it that just really spoke to me. I mean, granted, we were talking about. About all of the fights that we saw on stage, and the crowd was kind of agreeing with us. Like, yeah, people really fight here. But it wasn't that serious. Like, that's the problem is it's. It's platform versus just like, you know what I mean? Like, we just say something that you'd say with your friends. Like, oh, I saw a lot of fights here. It's not like we're like, gavel down deeming this place. Like, I don't know. I'm not a mayor. Like, it's just what I saw. I'm just a girl who sees things.
A
It says the name of the article. Deputy Mayor responds as Belfast branded Violent and scary by Hit Us Podcasters. I'm like, all I read is hit us. Two popular American influencers who visited Belfast have said that they were left feeling fearful following their trip. I feel like that's an exaggeration.
B
Yeah, I didn't say I left. No, I didn't say that. Or maybe I did. Dude, that's the problem too. It's like, what what did I say?
A
These comments in no way reflect the Belfast I know and love. He said in their podcast, Brooke 28. They really had to say how old I was. It's scary to have an opinion these days.
B
Brooke then described an encounter at their hotel that led her to believe people in Belfast are violent. We were taking our luggage out, putting a luggage cart on the street, and some lady went by, I'm waving at her baby, and she goes, God, you stupid.
A
It's true. That was true. That was a true story. Although they left out the part where we were. I mean, we were standing in her way, but still the sidewalk where she was trying to walk. So she had maybe some validity there.
B
Oh. Belfast is a city of artists, musicians, storytellers, and community builders who inspire people the world over.
A
Okay. Also, I loved Belfast. Belfast was beautiful. Like, the country. You drove by and there was all these, like. It was gorgeous.
B
You're allowed to see a few fights and, like, make an opinion, you know? But I also understand why. Well, he's defending the integrity of Belfast. Two things can be true, of course.
A
And Belfast I. This is my official apology because I actually did love Belfast.
B
Me too.
A
And you are not defined by the men fighting about soccer.
B
I also drank the coffee in Belfast, and to this day, I've never had any coffee like that in my entire life. It was called Black Sheep Coffee. And, like, I was doing push ups. I was doing military training. And, like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna chalk it up to the coffee made me want to square up with Makoa. You know what I mean?
A
Yeah. Maybe that's why everyone was fighting with each other.
B
We just do it again.
A
Something in their coffee is.
B
Coldplay couple. Pete Davidson is pregnant.
A
He is. And I. I rebuke.
B
I rebuke. I actually rebuke. I actually rebuke. No, I'm in as a father now. Like, I'm done. This is me actually, like, official sign off. Like, I, Tana Mojo, am never going to talk about Pete Davidson again. He's probably like, phew.
A
He's like, thank literal God. Yeah.
B
Like, it's. I'm. And I'm happy. I don't know him. I'm happy. They look happy. That's. It's awesome. I just. People were tagging me, too, in a way. Always know things are out of hand when people are tagging me.
A
I don't need that to be happening either, because Elsie's like, my good friend.
B
No, people, like. Like tens and tens of thousands of people were tagging me in Pete Davidson's baby announcement to the. In the way that it was like, Ty or Amari or, you know, and it's just like, wow. Wow, Tana, You've. You've, like, on this man's baby announcement, there's 10,000 at Tana Mojo tags like kill yourself, slay. Like, just, hell, yeah, dude. Fucking hell, yeah. I'm done. Coldplay couple. Because, you see, I was about to be like, do you think it's a taxi cab theory?
A
Lobotomy, literally? No, not at all.
B
Yeah, at all.
A
Coldplay concert couple. Adultery affairs. He got fired.
B
Did you see the ironclad Devil Wears Prada statement that she put out?
A
Is it ironclad? Because it's fake. I love you so much. I only know that it's fake because in it she says he referenced or he quoted Coldplay in his statement, and that statement was fake. So obviously, I know her statement, too, is fake, but really, she should just repost it. In my opinion, the one where she was like, it's fake.
B
I hate the Internet.
A
I know. That's why I'm not. I shouldn't be allowed on it. I'm not even kidding, because I believe everything I see.
B
Same. And just literally propaganda, propaganda, propaganda up my ass all the time. I'm just spreading misinformation. Like a stupid little.
A
Me, too. Because it said with such conviction. And it's like, people that I like, I value their opinions and stuff who are sharing certain things that I'm like.
B
I watched, like, nine different bitches in blazers who, like, report on talk about this.
A
It's like, maybe it's a different statement, but I'm. Did she say in it, like, to quote.
B
Yes.
A
Yeah, it's fake, but I want to post it. I think that should be her exact statement.
B
I wonder if in our future endeavors if we will continue to separately misquote and 100. I would like to put that behind me. I would like to. I would like for people to be like, wow, Tana Mongeau is so well informed. It's never gonna happen.
A
I think. I think there's, like, some element of, like, a lot of the time when we spread misinformation. It could have been like, we could have intervened. You know what I mean?
B
Like, we.
A
Not only do we say it with such conviction in front of a camera, but then we then watch it back say, and then put it out.
B
Yeah, like Google cut. It's so true.
A
Like, fact check. That's like running through big something.
B
This is, like, the dumbest sentence to ever come out of My mouth. This is like, one of my big goals is to get smarter.
A
Choking on your words. That's a goal. That's not a stupid goal.
B
I think that just. There's so much more learning.
A
You're very smart.
B
There's so much more learning and growing to be do.
A
And that's what I was gonna say.
B
To be do. Do. We do.
A
We do Do.
B
Scooby Doo.
A
I don't know what my big goals are.
B
That's okay.
A
I don't have any.
B
I feel like you do. You're just not maybe thinking. Think about it seriously. Like, really, you know.
A
No, I do. I think I just need to take a beat. I think it's kind of hard to, like.
B
It's also hard to be creative if you're not feeling inspired to be creative.
A
You know, something will happen.
B
Yes. Hopefully. It also is just, like, wild to think in the last year, like, we've done damn near a hundred shows last year and a half. Like, we have three left as of right now.
A
Three left.
B
Even today, I was, like, vlogging, and I was like, well, I'm really, like, I'm going to shoot one of the last episodes of the canceled podcast. And even just these last three shows, being on stage, like, knowing this and listen, we. We might have our. Our era's reunion. Whatever. Yeah.
A
I'm kind of hoping there's, like, a Jonas Brothers reunion in the future.
B
Like, you never, like, never say never for things, but as of right now, these feel like the last times that we're doing these things that we've done for so long, and it is just, like, a very crazy feeling. I've been really blocking that out. This tour, like, all of the shows, I've been trying to just be in the moment and enjoy them, and the Australian crowds have been insane.
A
It's so. I love it here.
B
That all might. We did shows. Was it in Melbourne, where I was just like. Like, y' all made us feel like One Direction. Okay.
A
Like, I feel like all the shows have been so me. I just, like, in general, like, Australia is the best place ever.
B
It's. Yeah, it's been so amazing, but I've been trying not to mentally harp on the fact that, like, there's a world where maybe we never do this again. Like, who knows? And just thinking about. I found that came across this photo of our first show, and we're just, like, doing this little, tiny room. And, like, we were just, like, genuinely too.
A
Like, it wasn't little tiny at all.
B
Yes, it was.
A
It was 700 cap it was stand up live in Phoenix.
B
Was it a 700 cap? If you asked me right now, I would have told you it was 85 cap. Like, not even. I wouldn't have broke 100.
A
It was 700.
B
I have to kill myself. Okay. What a privilege, obviously, to start with, it was.
A
I remember being there and being like, oh, my God, I do. Did not think this is what we meant. I can't go out there.
B
Oh, God, I'm an idiot.
A
But it was. It's. It doesn't matter because it was still so special. It was like, it's our first show.
B
Yeah. Just like, we had no idea, you know, that we would hop on a bus and spend chunks of our year doing their. Like, we'd have runs where we would do two shows a night for five days in a row for thousands of people. Like, even this Melbourne, it was 2800 people back to back, sold out. Like, Glasgow. I'll never forget it. It's just, like. It's wild, some of the shows and, like, all of the things that we've gotten, and it's just really wild that this is, like, coming to an end. It's.
A
Yeah, I know. It makes me nostalgic, I think. Like, I've. I. Like you said, you're blocking it. I'm. I'm the same way. I've completely removed myself from the situation because I know I couldn't physically handle the emotions of it, but I know the instant I get home, I'm gonna have to, like, sit in it and be like, oh, my God, I'm never gonna do that again. Or maybe I will. I don't know. I don't know.
B
I think that will, in this way, similar things. It just, like. Yeah. Like, it will never be what it was, you know, like, this is the closing of a chapter. But, like, I am now trying to be in the moment of that, because I think that that's a beautiful thing as well. Like, I notice how much I as a person, and this is just like, with my adhd, with my anxiety, just how I am as a person, with everything, I'm thinking about the next thing. Like, even if I'm on a flight, I'm thinking, I can't wait to be in bed later. Like, if I'm even, like, right now, I'm thinking about the show later. Like, just, like, how I. And then obviously bigger picture as well. Like, whenever I'm in a city, I'm thinking about, like, the next time I'm traveling and leaving or, like, just chapters. I'm. I'm thinking about, you know, and I'm really trying to be present in this and just. I don't want to look back and be like, oh, my God, you were mentally like, you know what I mean? Just.
A
I know. I already, I already know that I'm gonna be like that. But you know what? Can't help it. I'm trying.
B
I'm just. It's just wild. It really is. Like, all of the things that we've done across this time, it's so crazy. And we, like, didn't kill each other.
A
No, I'm kidding. We came close a few times. I'm not even gonna hold you.
B
Yeah. I mean, but like, it's nice that, I don't know, we're just able to go off and into our fully developed lives and have respect and admiration for each other. And just like, even when I'm on stage and like, you're talking and you're doing your thing, I'll look at you and I'll be like, wow, this is like so lit to do this with someone else who is like, you know what I mean? Like, we do it like, each other. Like, like, like just. I don't know, like, who does this too? And like, I get to sit on stage and be quiet for fucking 20 minutes and like, someone's killing it. And like, it's definitely going to be interesting to see us do our first, like, solo anythings. Like, it's.
A
Yeah.
B
Because we always have had the other one.
A
I agree. And also, like, I think about it because I love, I love doing shows and I've always, like, it's so exciting to me and stuff, but like, the concept of ever doing it without you physically there, like, I. It makes me literally want to throw up, like, of nerves. And it's so interesting how, like, I'm never nervous to go on stage. And we do shows for like, like, you know, we've done 5,000 cat venues and the thought of standing up in front of 80 people by myself, I couldn't.
B
When I go home, I'm gonna haze myself. Like, I'm. I'm gonna have to. I'm going to random comedy clubs.
A
I know.
B
Try it. I think we, we should do it together.
A
I know. Well, I've, like, I've. I talked to my agents about this a lot because it's like, it's been a conversation for so long because I've always wanted to do like, just stand up. But like, I'm like, it's gonna be the biggest secret of all time. I'm gonna Pop out in like a, you know, a 30 person room. I'm not telling you, telling anybody on my team in my corner. I'm not telling Miles. I'm not telling anybody. I'm going to my friend's house and I'm gonna go and do five minutes or do 10 minutes, 100.
B
And there's something so, like, cool and humbling about that because I think that we have these amazing fans who like, think all of our inside jokes are funny. And we're able to have this beautiful niche where we go out and like, we know the certain types of jokes that we can make that will hit with this crowd.
A
But.
B
But it's a whole other thing to test your timing and your jokes to.
A
The general public don't already know you, who don't know your humor, who you know, like, yeah, it is. That's. I think that's what scares me about it is like, it's so different to go out in front of an audience who paid specifically to see you than to go out in front of an audience.
B
Yes, 100%. And I'm just like, I'm excited to test all of these limits and get better at so many things that's as beautiful as Canceled is. Like, we've, we've ceilinged our. Ceilinged. I know what you're saying, but like, you know, it's nice that we're gonna be going down these avenues now where we have room to get better and to grow and to. You know what I mean, versus just like, we know we can sit here and talk about a tick tock influencer and make jokes too.
A
It's low hanging fruit. Like, I would like to have to.
B
Like, work for some again and feel that and feel proud of. Yeah, I'm just, I'm elated. I really am. But stand up is gonna be so, like, very interesting.
A
I know. I think of like, like, like I have like friends who help me with it a little bit because I don't know, it's just as scary. And it so isn't scary because it's like, oh, what's the worst that can happen? You go out and people don't laugh at you that much. Like, I've seen a thousand comedians that I'm like, whatever, and I've never remembered anything about them. You know what I mean? Like, it doesn't matter. But to me, it's like, oh my God, I couldn't take it. I would think about it for the rest of my life if I bombed.
B
That's. I literally, I feel like it's gonna be so mentally healthy for me to bomb, like, 15 times. Like, I'm excited.
A
You know what it is, is, like, it's almost like I feel like I should go out and do, like, rejection therapy or. Rejection. What's it. What do they call it when you, like, embarrass yourself in public and stuff on purpose, like, a certain amount of times to the point where you're desensitized to it?
B
For me.
A
No, I'm serious. Like, people go out and they do it. It's like they humiliate themselves, like, intentionally so that they can't, like, feel that feeling. I need that.
B
That is, like. Yeah. That you would benefit from that. Like, genuinely.
A
People just, like, go lay out in the middle of the street in public just because it's like, you know, like, you can't embarrass me.
B
I need the opposite of that. I fear. Like, I need to have a little more shame.
A
Yeah. It almost feels like you've already been through it. I. I would do anything for your level of, like. I don't know. Paige and I were just talking about this, but, like, just, like, the feeling of, like, just. You don't even notice things.
B
Sometimes that is true. Like, sometimes I am just in my own other world. But also, I think it's like, I did. I don't know. I did have to. I was talking about this in my most recent YouTube video. But just, like, I went through so much of my life where I cared so much if people liked me. Like, truly so much. Like, we were talking about this forever ago, but, like, the younger self coffee thing, like, that was my number one takeaway. Like, right now, if I sat down and got coffee with my younger self, she would be trying. Trying so hard to make me like her. And I find that to be so sad. You know what I mean? Like, just that I was that person for so long, and then. I don't know.
A
I don't know what I am that person. I would like to unsubscribe to that feeling, but unfortunately, I'm still there.
B
I think it came with, like, radical acceptance that, like, not everyone's gonna like you and there's nothing you can do. You know what I mean? Like, even recently, like, someone close to me brought someone around, like, someone who they're dating and I. Not allowed to podcast.
A
I know. I was gonna say, didn't you swear yourself to secrecy on this topic?
B
I'm not allowed to podcast about it, but I could tell that this person, they just kept making digs at our whole Friend group. Like, they looked at Isabelle and they were like, well, I have a real job. Like, and just like. And it's like, you don't know Isabella. You don't know what she does for a living. Like what? Like, hello, like, what's your name? You know what I mean? Like, such a. And just kept. And I could just tell that this person did not know any of us, but had this crazy predisposition like, and did not like any of us. And I was thinking about how years ago I would be trying to convince this person that I do have substance and what I do for a living is hard work and that. You know what I mean, I matter and like all of these things and it's just like, I don't know. Now I'm like, hell yeah, you hate me.
A
In some ways, I think it can be a positive thing to care what people think. Because of course, like, you know, on some level, like, it makes you a good person. But I think I would like to get to where I only cared about people's opinions, who I actually admire or look up to or no, personally.
B
And I think there's something to be said about if you're the common denominator, right. Like if five of your friends come to you and they say you have a problem with this or five people.
A
Then it's like, it does matter.
B
Yes, growth and reflection matters. That's not what I'm saying to like ignore that. But I don't know, it just gets to a point. I think what it was too, was that for so long I thought of myself pretty, like lowly. Like the world had just like beaten me and my self image and you know what I mean? So it's like I was just more susceptible to then if people were saying things like, I'd be like, oh, validated.
A
What you already thought about yourself. I feel like that's why like certain comments and stuff get to me now because I'm like, oh, that's already something I, Yeah. Like struggle with and even is subconsciously, like kind of think.
B
And it's like. And there's. There still will always be comments like that on social media. But yeah, I guess that's what it is. Just like eventually becoming a person that you're like, like cool with. But that's. That's hard. That's life. Like figuring that out is like the hardest battle of life ever. Ew, Harry. Josie is doing a television show. This is also something that I also received like thousands of tags in. And it's just so funny that there Are certain people that the Internet feels like they need to, like, keep me updated with, like, I didn't need to be tagged in this, like, 5,000 times.
A
But yeah, it's like, it's specifically to date him. Right?
B
Let's. That's. Mary. Harry is the name of the show.
A
You know, if there. Who is that man's agent? You know what I mean? Like, how. Who is. Who is his unscripted television agent? Because that man has been on every possible show, and then he needs to go on Traders.
B
I know. He would kill it. He really would kill it on Traders.
A
Or. No, he needs to go on House of Villains.
B
Ooh, that would be everything.
A
I've never even seen it. But he. He's a villain, from what I've gathered.
B
I don't. It's so hard. I don't. I. I don't know.
A
No, not. Not in life. I mean, on tv.
B
Oh, okay. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. I agree with that.
A
I don't. I have no negative thoughts about him in life. I have.
B
Every time I see Area, I'm like, that is like a sweet, smart, golden retriever.
A
Dead ass. But, like, I agree, he's so. Not. Every time I see him, I mean, I see him a lot, and so that's my guy. That's my guy. You see him walking his dog.
B
I guess it's just like, it is the different perception of being, like, a woman who's with him versus like, a friend or, like, you know what I mean? He was spotted with Sia, though.
A
Though.
B
Did you see this?
A
How did they know it was Sia?
B
She didn't have a. She didn't have a chandelier. She didn't have anything. Like, she was just raw dogging it. They were holding hands.
A
No way. Have you not seen this crack on me?
B
The reason I ask is because I didn't even see it on.
A
I live for Sia, though. She's so talented.
B
Sia and Harry Jowsey holding hands.
A
What happened?
B
Like, that's like, Sia and Harry Jowsey. What the hell do they talk about? And that is nothing against either one of them. I hate when people, like, what do they talk about? And it's like a dig at someone's intelligence. I just be like, genuinely, where do they. A line?
A
No, I'm. Is he Australian?
B
I don't know. Look at this.
A
Harry's Australian. I love that friend. I. You know, he's just like. I love how random he is. She's so talent. She's another one of those, I'm pretty sure. Who has written like so many songs that we know about and don't realize it. Like Charlie xcx.
B
Yeah, See, it's a, a legend living just like such a funny crossover. But I do live for like random crossover like that. Like, I don't know why. I just love seeing unexpected.
A
Me too. Who do I want to get spotted with? Well, more importantly, who would ever get spotted with me?
B
No.
A
I'll tell you that much.
B
I'm definitely pregnant, but it just is what it is.
A
You're not pregnant.
B
I'm, I'm.
A
And I'm validating your feelings. Are you pregnant? I do not disagree with you. I've never disagreed with you.
B
No, it's, you're fine to disagree. I just like, I don't know. I don't just something's up, but like something is up. Stop it. It like freaks me out a little. I'm like. Cuz I'm like ready for you to disagree with me. When they talk low key, they, you.
A
Know when everybody learned the term gaslight and it became like an epidemic because we were just like throwing it around like so crazy.
B
You're going to say contrarian is the new.
A
Contrarian is the new gas. Can I say something? And I want to come out right now as a contrarian.
B
I was just going to say like, you are a contrarian.
A
I am, I am. I always have been. It's been like, like, it's definitely like something written in my DNA or something. Like I've been like that forever. I was the type and this is going to shock you, but I was the type to like correct my teacher.
B
Yeah, no, that's not like, I just.
A
I just was a know it all. Like I, I, I always wanted to disagree with everything anyone said. And it's literally it, it happens before I even have the chance to think about it. So just know that I'm a victim.
B
It's funny because the Internet like caught on to it at a point that I had like made made full peace with it. Like there definitely was a point. Like I, I, but I.
A
Let me go on record. I'm, I'm sorry. Why did I just cut you off? It's not that I want to disagree with everything that you say. It's that I do disagree with everything you say.
B
No, I know you feel it to your bones. First of all, it's not that I.
A
Like, like, oh, I just, I want to disagree with you, but like I, we really do disagree on like almost.
B
Everything we disagree on absolutely the color of the sky. I say. I always say that.
A
Like, but there are people who, like, I, like, I literally agree with every single thing they say.
B
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what that is. But it's funny that when people caught on that I had, like, I don't know, just made such peace with it. Like, there definitely was a point in our kill each other eras where I was like, you know, but like, like, now I'm like, sorry, you should just be better at. I will say that. Like, like, what's an accurate percentage? Maybe like 43% of the time. I need what you're saying.
A
That's a pretty good percentage.
B
You know, where it's like, you do make me think things through from the opposing end a lot more than I used to as a person.
A
I also. Sometimes I'm. Sometimes I. It's really just like, I'm trying to see it from the other side. Like, I'm not ne. I don't even necessarily feel that way, but I'm like, I want to understand, like, what the other side of this is.
B
And I think I advocate, like, I did need that a lot more in the beginning. And I will say, like a toxic boyfriend. When we do sync up, it's lit.
A
Like, you know, it's. People will be like, how dare she disagree that she doesn't love Winter.
B
No, that's. That's unacceptable.
A
And it's like, no, I. I'm. My bad.
B
I just don't like it. And I also wouldn't enjoy that. Like, it's. I'm not sitting here saying that I, like Seeker would want a yes man. And I think that podcasts of two people just agreeing with each other, like, that's what I'm saying. Like, a lot of the time it's beneficial all.
A
You know, sometimes I've seen things that are like, she just agrees with.
B
She.
A
You know, she's so far up tan and Z. She agrees with everything that she says. And then the new narrative was like, she hates every her.
B
Yeah. You also just win.
A
You know, I don't know what you're talking about. I've never seen that and a comment about it. I've never seen a negative comment.
B
Well, now you're in your. Like, genuinely. I just. I'm so proud of you.
A
What a beautiful. Like, just. What better way. I'm not consuming. Sorry. Like, you can't get. You can't catch me.
B
It's. I think it's just because consuming then creates reacting and then that's just like digging.
A
That's the problem. It's not like, maybe I can handle, like, it. I mean, I don't like to feel it like, but whatever, I can probably handle it. It's just the fact that I physically cannot stop myself from reacting. Like, and I do. I do all day long. One in every thousand horrible comments, I just pop off and I. I clap back. And then those, of course, course become this huge thing. But, like, literally four times total.
B
And it's so wild. Someone's haircut, PR cycle. Because, like, if you were to just genuinely, like, you know what I mean? Like, and this goes with any influencer, like, the way that it's just like, if someone doesn't talk about something, it, like, becomes no longer in their reality and you see all of the.
A
I'll tell you about lesson I'm never gonna learn.
B
It's hard. It is. But at a certain point as well, though, like, are you just beating a dead horse? Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's like, why?
A
Well, because it doesn't matter. No one's. No one cares to. You're not going to convince anyone of anything. Like, everyone's already made their minds up.
B
Exactly. That's. That's my thing is it's like you're like, fighting to make this person like you. Whereas, like, but it's like, it's okay.
A
It's set in stone. You are not, like, you're not doing anything but validating, like, and like, the.
B
Way that so much of the Internet is just like sheeple. In reality, you fighting with them isn't even gonna make you like them. It's like nine months from now, you'll, like, do a cat trick and they'll be like, you know what? Brooke Schofield's okay. Like, it's just like, it's like so, like. Yeah, it's wild. It is just, like, so wild.
A
I don't know. I think you should like me again.
B
And that's. That's what they want from you, though. You know what I mean? I'm ready for just it era. Just who cares?
A
I tried it era, but then I.
B
Was like, oh, no, not hating back, but just like, I don't care. Just. I don't care there if whatever. Because, like, even just see at these shows, it's so beautiful to, like, see. I don't know. There's a lot of my life too, where I let a lot of, like, unnecessary hate or, you know, a lot of times I needed a lot of the hate to grow. And once I like, really read the comments and like, was like, damn, do I have this problem? And like, worked on myself that that was lit. But like, there's also just like hate on, like the way I looked or the way I sounded or things I did.
A
Yeah. When I talk about, like, things like that, I'm never talking about, like valid, like, like, like supported hate that, like, I understand. I'm talking about, like, things that are so just like actual like parts of my personality or how I look or whatever it is that are like, who gives a. Yeah.
B
Or just if you don't like it, there's the door. Like, it's, you know, like, that's. I don't know. It is very interesting. Very interesting. What else do I have?
A
Trisha Paytas. How dare we?
B
Aquaman, Moses Paytas Hackman. Just one more time, like, I'm so sorry.
A
Aquaman, Moses Paytas Hackman.
B
I need to like sit and do an exercise where I say Aquaman a bunch of times until, like, I desensitize the word Aquaman. I won't do that now.
A
Sometimes, sometimes that happens so much that something does just become a name. Like Apple.
B
Yes.
A
Like whoever knows Apple Paltrow.
B
Yes.
A
They probably, like, that's just.
B
Yeah, yeah, that's just Apple Paltrow.
A
Yeah.
B
It's a funny ass name. It's so funny because I genuinely do. We were saying this in the car, but Aquaman and Trisha was saying this to me a lot. Like, she was definitely being like, this one's really gonna like this one. A lot of people might not like this one. And she was even saying she didn't want it out there specifically because she knew people would try to talk her out of it. But she was like, dead set in her ways.
A
I'm obsessed with that.
B
And I think it's cool that, like, everyone was guessing Poseidon and all these different things.
A
Yeah. You know what I like about it is I, I have the opposite reaction of everybody else. Like, especially like when she named Malibu Barbie, everyone's like, she's gonna get bullied so much in school. And in my head I was like, if I were a five year old, like, girl and I met a girl named Malibu Barbie, I would literally go home and beat my parents. You know what I mean? I would literally be like, how dare you not name me Malibu Barbie? I would be so jealous. And I feel that, like, especially because, like, little boys would look up to Aquaman so much. Like, it's like being named like Superman or something. Like, that's cool. That's not a bullyable offense.
B
And we're in Los Angeles. Like, Aquaman is going to be going to school with bookshelf and blueberry muffin. Like, you know what I mean?
A
Like, bookshelf is actually kind of cute.
B
Like, it's, it's just like, it's like Aquaman is going to be the only out of pocket name at that school. Like, are you kidding me? Like, Aquaman genuinely is going to be going to school with like, like serendipity and crumble cookies.
A
Like a real crumbles moonbeam ice cream. Like, I think it's cute. I love, but I think I just. Everything she does to me is cute.
B
And the. These children are already the children of Trisha Paytas. Like, they already have an iconic non generic upbringing and background and lifestyle and the history and the footprint of their mother. Like, she's an icon in just like so many things. Like being a. Being named Aquaman is arguably going to be like probably the least interesting thing about that child by the time that it like forms its amazing boisterous personality, you know?
A
Yeah. And like, I'm excited. I think it's everything. I think you never have to worry about running into somebody with the same name.
B
Yeah. And just I'm. I'm interested to see if it's like Aqua. If it's like, man, if it's. If it's. Let me stop saying, is it going to be Aqua Boy?
A
Aquaman Man?
B
Yeah. Like that just like, what, like what am I even going. Am I gonna be like Aquaman or am I gonna be like Aqua?
A
Like, you know, maybe we're gonna call him Moses.
B
Yeah. It's very interesting to see.
A
I love it. I just.
B
I think it's cool that it's becoming just more normalized, like to just like life is short and having.
A
Who gives a damn what your name is? You know, it is like people are choosing their own names now. I'm meeting some really interesting characters and.
B
It is just like wild that your parents do. Just like, if you think about it, it's arguably weirder that societally. Whoa. I've like never thought about this. But like, and it's the most like, mundane thought ever. Okay. I'm such a stupid. I'm like, whoa. But like, everyone just names their kid Joe and there's like 500 other Joes.
A
And like, you look at a baby and you thought, oh, that's Joe.
B
And like, think about Joe. Like, who came up with Joe? Or like, who came up with Michael or who came up with.
A
Yeah.
B
What really Like, Victoria, really?
A
Did we side like, or decide this name is normal and this name isn't normal? Yeah.
B
And then like, if you think about it, like, how strange. Like, remember in school it'd be like John S. And John R. Like, what in the severance. What in the.
A
Like, I know there's so many names that are happening like right now that I'm like, oh, you guys are gonna regret this because they're every. They're, you know, it's so. They're like so popular.
B
Like, having a name that no one else has is like.
A
Like I feel like, what's, what's the name? Like Beckham? Everybody's kids named Beckham.
B
Yeah.
A
That is interesting. At least I know the ones I'm seeing. I am like, I'm on like Mormon mom's tick tock. Well, not anymore.
B
Trisha has like genuinely inspired me to just like really take it there with my child.
A
I know my kids names already. I know two now. Yeah.
B
Is it what I think it is? I love them like so much and I might do something similar to one of your.
A
I love it.
B
I like really do.
A
The second one where we keep getting signs because there's a store here called that and we see it everywhere and we're like, is that a sign that we're supposed to name our second? By the way, I'm not pregnant and I have no intent to be pregnant in the next five years.
B
Same 100, same. As I say all of this lately I've been really thinking about. But I don't know if this is like, for dogs or not. Okay, put your contrarian hat on because I'm going to need you to tell me if this is like a up thing to do.
A
That hat does not come off.
B
Is it up to name your kids some, like, tandem, like Truth and Dare.
A
I know. I love it.
B
Scratch and Sniff.
A
No, I'm totally kidding. I actually, I do love it. I really do like that stuff. But it can't be Truth and Dare. But we did meet a girl named Dare the other day and that was cute.
B
I know. That's what inspired it. I love But Truth. I don't like Truth just as its own name. Scratch and Sniff. Obviously I'm kidding. But how cute for dogs. That's cute.
A
Oh, that is really cute. I like when names go together. I think that's cute.
B
But like, just how out there do I Want to get? McCo was pitching Bartholomew last night and then I call him Bar. Nicole calls him Mew. It's just wild that like Tana McCo and Bartholomew. You.
A
Yeah, I have like. Like, Murphy, Mouse and Miles are all M. So I'm like, what if I need to have, like, an, like, M names? Like, I'm obviously not an M. An.
B
M or a B. M to the B. M to the B. Bella porch walks in, we summon her. Like the. What's the girl from the ring? Some Samora. That's the grudge.
A
I have no clue.
B
I've lost my touch.
A
I'm out of it. Three more shows.
B
I want to talk about my aura ring. Okay.
A
Okay.
B
Everyone needs an aura ring. Everyone. Like, it is. It's changed my life. If you have adhd, it's the greatest thing I've ever had. I just can't believe that it's real technology.
A
Like, you're sure it is?
B
I guess it could be lying to me, but even if it's lying to me, it's so lit. Like, it'll tell me later that I was stressed right now. Now that's cool.
A
I don't want to know that.
B
Yeah. I don't know. I've always been that type of person since I was a child, where I want to, like, analyze why things are the way they are. And, like, it's just like, if. If I feel like my aura ring will be like, well, you slept. Like. And then I'm like, oh, my God. I was awake at all these minutes of the night. Like, that's so cool.
A
Really? I think I would just be pissed off all the time because it'd be like, you're stressed. And I'd be like, I know.
B
But then, like, it'll be like, move, fatty. Like, if I'm sitting for too long, it'll be like, get up.
A
But also a thing that I don't want to be. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, remember when you were younger and your mom would be like, clean your room. And you were already about to clean your room, but now you're like, yeah, I was already going to.
B
I guess you have a point. I'm just so bad at, like, it.
A
Does it actually. Like, you really do feel like it helps you, reminds you to do things?
B
Yes. And, like, for some reason, like, when my aura ring has, like, a red line and says, like, you went to bed at 3am like, that. That's horrible. Like, I want to be better for it the next day. Like, I want to.
A
Like, okay, that. Then that's a. Yeah, you're right.
B
It's like making me, like, make a game out of my life. Like, I have to hit my, like, 8,000step goal. Or I, like, don't make my aura ring proud. And, like, I just. I can't even believe I was about to say I was today years old. I'm such a millennial.
A
What do you say? You say something in the show all the time that.
B
Like, that.
A
That. Because you keep saying that. You keep referencing that specific thing that you say that's so millennial. But you say something in the show where I'm like, oh, my God, that's a really good, good example.
B
I, like, really. Like, I know I'm technically Gen Z, but it's so funny.
A
Oh, you say. You say gate or girl boss? Gatekeep. Gas. Like, gate. Yeah. And I can't speak English.
B
Our bodies are, like, physically giving out on podcasts.
A
Gaslight, Gatekeep, girl boss.
B
Yeah, like, that's so millennial. Like, put it on a shirt. Cursive font. I can't.
A
It's literally live, laugh, laugh, love.
B
It's. Oh, you know what I wanted to do, speaking of in the show, But I guess we can do it in our next episode. Oh, my God, that's really sad. I'm.
A
Oh, we were gonna react to the video.
B
I want to react to the video we've been playing because we've been doing this thing where we play all these old clips of Canceled and just how things have changed from them. Like, we give an update, and it's just so funny. Like, those girls and just, like, you know, knowing Marianne's paid now and, like, all the things, like, we just. We have to. We have to do that, but we can do it in the next episode. I got really sad because one day there won't be a next episode.
A
You know what? Again, I'm just trying to see it as a positive.
B
It is. It's just like. It's one thing. If it came to an abrupt end, I think I would see it as a positive. It's like. You know what I mean?
A
Like.
B
Yeah, yeah, like, exactly. Like, it's like when you're, like, breaking up with someone and you guys, like, talk about breaking up and you're, like, moving out your things for, like, three months or something, you know, you, like.
A
Know they're, like, going off to college or something, and it almost makes it, like, yes, that's like.
B
That's exactly what it is. Because it's like, we just have to, like, sit and be sad about it, like, for, like, weeks and, like, you know, whereas if it just, like, yeah.
A
But we're gonna get to go home. And then we're gonna just be. Well, actually, no, I'm just gonna be like, oh, I just lost my job.
B
No, but I just got fired. We're back to being the I words until we put in the work we're gonna be in.
A
Not me. It's me and my family.
B
What? Your family channel?
A
Me, Murph, Miles and my else.
B
No I words like influencers.
A
Oh, I thought you were saying, like, I. Like, I am doing this. I am doing this. But I'm still we. I've got my children with me regardless.
B
No, we're just. We're influencers until we influencer. What are you going to say when someone says, like, what do you do?
A
I don't know.
B
Like, I'm going to have to be.
A
Like, I'm a former podcaster. I'm retired.
B
Like, that's just so. Because it's so true. Like when normally when people are kind of asking, like, the meat of my income, like, I'm talking about touring or I'm talking about this podcast.
A
I'm a stay at home mother.
B
I'm a again.
A
Oh, yeah, you're just only fans. I mean, you. I think you have some other, like, pretty fruitful sources of income.
B
Not if I keep getting demonetized, I swear to God.
A
Do you keep getting demonetized? Yes, my last video did, but that was my belt.
B
You know what's funny is I originally started this channel because before this channel was canceled, it was my vlog channel. And I used this channel solely because the like, not solely because, like, I would put other just like smaller pieces of content on here. Like honestly, just videos. I didn't give a about as much. But I was much less demonetized on this one. Like, I could get away with saying more things. And that's been true across canceled as well. Like we swear and stuff. I swear to God, if I say the word damn on my main YouTube channel, I lose all income.
A
18 plus.
B
Like, I just posted a video trying European McDonald's and it's 18 plus age restricted.
A
Yeah, but I could feel. I have a feeling you were like, stuff this McDouble in my. Or something.
B
That's so funny because Ashley said the same thing to me today.
A
Then I don't.
B
You guys are more alike than different.
A
God, I miss her so much.
B
But yeah, so, I mean, I don't know if I can't get my together, I'm about to start like posting Bible verses on my main YouTube channel. I don't know. And then it's like, what do I do with this channel because it was my vlog channel before. Now it's. Is it just like, continuing eras and then like, all of a sudden I'm like, doing something else on this. Like, it's just. Do I leave canceled up or do we delete all of canceled?
A
What? Why would you delete all of canceled?
B
I don't know.
A
I'm counting on at least, like, a thousand bucks here and her there from adsense.
B
I didn't even think about that. Oh, my God.
A
Why would we erase it? Do you hate me that much?
B
No, I don't hate you. I'm just saying, like, the era, like, I don't know.
A
You want to delete it.
B
I've also said a lot of things on cancel that I would love to just die.
A
What the hell?
B
Well, I guess I'm just.
A
Well, it will live forever on somebody's account and they will collect. Collect. So we. We should collect.
B
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
A
Somebody. Everybody downloads the download these episodes. God, I don't.
B
I don't.
A
I'm scared of her now.
B
No, I just, like, it's. There's so many things to figure out. I feel like the McBrooms.
A
Oh, like we're like, dividing our assets or something.
B
Just like, you know, it's like. It's also confusing.
A
Well, God, like he cheated with 40 women. Like, we just decided, like, this isn't gonna work.
B
I know, but then what? So every month I have to see what amount of adsense for my channel comes. Well, this is like an off camera conversation.
A
Oh, so now you're using this channel as your vlogs again?
B
Well, like, what if I wanted to?
A
It was.
B
You can't.
A
We built this from the ground.
B
I was Emma Chamberlain it up on this channel. You know, I got it. I got it to 2 mil. I just. It's so interesting to like.
A
No, because I'm collecting. I'm. I'm invoicing you.
B
Oh, my God.
A
I just don't even know from these episodes. Yep, yep.
B
We're gonna have to work through that one. Imagine we're just in a court battle.
A
I'm coming for my 30 bucks.
B
What the. Dude? I don't know. Well, we have a show to get to, and I have no more topics.
A
I'm starving.
B
Like, should. Do you feel like we haven't? Yeah, I feel like we've been shooting for eight hours.
A
Me too. And I have a camel toe also.
B
Me too.
A
Oh, my God. I've just been stretching out in this amazing, perfect, flawless fabric that is white fox, long sleeve Top, white box.
B
I've got on a little cheetah White Fox moment. We've been wearing our black White Fox jeans for this whole tour. We just want to thank White Fox for sponsoring this tour and this leg of tour and this leg on my body.
A
Truly, all jokes aside, it's actually like, you don't understand how grateful we are. It has made the biggest difference.
B
And it's really cool, too. Like, looking out in the crowd and seeing all the in White Fox too.
A
Like, even on the street, it's like, it's just so huge. Especially in Australia, I feel like that I'm like, oh, that's. Those are my people.
B
And I just like, they are the best. The fact that they just still want to work with us after all this time and, you know, just. They want to. It's so funny, them sponsoring the show because one of the elements of them sponsoring the show is that we have to put the White Fox logo, which we love doing, but it's just like, it's in the whole show. It's on the screen at all times. And there'll be like a photo of me and Lil Xan with the White Fox logo at the bottom.
A
So good.
B
And it's just like, hilarious. It's been like. And many other photos. We've been like, sharing photos that we once took for of which is like, so funny. Like, just a big of journey.
A
Dark times.
B
Yeah. But lots of different things. But yeah, we're headed to the show. I'm about to eat my body weight and some food in that green room. We have three shows left, which is really.
A
But we're excited and they've been so fun.
B
They have been so fun and it's been the best tour ever. And we just love you guys so much and thank you for supporting us through this and through everything and for always. We appreciate you and we love you and we will talk to you in the next episode.
