  • Trisha: “The number one thing we can all agree on is never blame the fans… You’re still here, so, you know, we try to keep it.”
• [02:40] - Discussion on Tanacon and taking responsibility as a creator.

• [18:58] - Explains issues with pre-orders and their own experience waiting years for hoodie samples.

• [15:44] - The risk of TikTok trends, hot cheese, and dangerous food hacks.
  • Trisha: “That was crazy and it actually hurt more than anything.... Not Taco Bell's fault. Literally just being a dumb—as most trends are.”

7. Sponsorships, Ad Reads, and Influencer Economics

(Ads skipped per instructions, but references to sponsorships from Chime, Home Chef, Experian, etc. pepper the conversation. Trisha notes: “I don’t know. Maybe logistically it makes sense, I guess. Like, you want to see how many people want it [pre-orders].”)

8. The Era of Overexposure: Streaming Births & Boundaries

• [116:54] - New Twitch trend: Live-streaming childbirth. Fandy’s water birth reaches 30,000 live viewers, sparking debate.

  • Trisha: “It’s giving very Heidi and Spencer… I don’t see, like, an issue with it… When it comes to labors and births, I mean, the last thing I’m thinking about is content.”

  • Trisha: “They're brothers. How are they having such different schlongs?”
