Brett Cooper
Happy Thursday. It seems like everyone out there is confused about their sexuality. From Tim Walls to jojo Siwa. Gen Z is now enrolling themselves in adulting classes because the education system is not actually teaching them what they need. And Big Tech is, of course, failing to protect our kids. So before we dive into these other stories, we do have to talk about the American Music Awards that happened at the beginning of this week. Also known as the AMAs, guys, they were basically a. There was a ton of hype surrounding this award show. Everybody was excited to see everyone. There were rumors of maybe a Taylor Swift sighting. None of it happened. Nobody showed up. Like everybody who was nominated for the big awards, they just weren't even there. In fact, the AMAs did not even televise some of their biggest awards because the people did not even show. But there was one person who did show up, and she wanted to make sure that we all knew how relevant she was. But before we dive into that, make sure that you're following our podcast page and rate the show if you are enjoying it. And as a reminder, I am on tour this spring. If you want to come see me in a city near you, you can go to BrettCooper.com to buy tickets. We still have them available in a few cities. We also added new shows in Dallas and in Austin. So I hope to see you guys there. But back to the story, guys. That person who wanted to ensure that we knew how relevant she was was none other than JLo. And we've talked about JLO in the past, I believe, about this woman who is just trying to hold on to any semblance of fame she still has. And just as an aside, one of my favorite stories about J. Lo is that she was filmed walking around the Bronx. You know, she. Jenny from the block, and she went to her childhood home, and the guy who lives in her home now was sitting out on the porch and she walked up and she thought it was gonna be this, like, emotional, you know, this is a fan of her, something like that. She walks up and she was like, I used to live here. And the guy is like a straight up New Yorker. He's like, who the F are you? I don't know who you are. And she's like, I'm Jenny. And he's like, I don't know who you are. Like, get out of my house. Anyway, it's hysterical. She also tried to do that whole, like, docuseries reality TV show when she was married to Ben Affleck that fell on its face. She Also tried to do a tour, she canceled that. But don't worry, she showed up to the AMAs to prove us all wrong. Take a watch. Okay. I am sorry. You know that you are losing relevancy when you are a 55 year old woman. And the only way that you can make a splash on stage is by making out with like five people, many of them including women, and shaking your ass on stage towards the audience and being flipped upside down. You're not pink. You should not be like flying through the sky like she does. This is genuinely just a cry for help. It's like, I couldn't do my tour, nobody bought tickets. So I'm gonna show you all that I've still got it by making out with everyone and jigging my ass. And it's also just so weird and embarrassing that in her performance, half of the songs that she was dancing to were not even her own songs. I don't even know if I can name a J. Lo song off the top of my head. And that's probably why she was dancing everybody else's song. Like she was purely just there to prove that she still got it. Basically prove to herself. Kind of like the Democrat Party is doing right now. Because they are desperate to cling onto the last shreds of relevancy that they have. Very similar to jlo. And if they want to climb their way out of this hole that they have found themselves in, that they really dug for themselves, they need to figure out how to speak to young people. Because if you look at the polling from the last election, the favorability that Trump is receiving right now, the Democrats, they've lost young people specifically, and very obviously, you know, young men. And that is why, my friends, the Democrat Party has now just announced that they are going to be investing $20 million into learning how to speak to working class men. I want you to hear that again. $20 million. It's a strategy for them. They're gonna learn how to speak to you. All that is insane. Like, I will teach you for free. It is literally not that hard. All you have to do to speak to young men, to connect with them, is to not talk down to them and not emasculate them. It's really that simple. That is what Trump and J.D. vance did so well. They were just themselves. They didn't talk down to anyone. Whether you were a man or a woman, you knew what you were getting. They weren't playing all of these games and trying to play a character of a bro and parade out these men. To convince men to vote for them. They were just themselves and they spoke like themselves, like normal human beings to other human beings. And shockingly, that worked. But back to this whole insane story. According to this headline, party leaders are spending millions to learn how to speak to American men and win back the working class. And specifically, according to the subtitle, they are holing up in luxury hotel rooms on a strategy codenamed Sam, or quote, speaking with American men, a strategic plan to try and convince the working class to vote their way. Again, according to a report. I mean, nothing, nothing screams relatability like sitting in a luxury hotel trying to think about how to get people to relate to you. I mean, it's so, it's you. You can't even make this stuff up, guys. It is so, so dumb. Now the article goes on to say that they are using these funds, these $20 million to study, quote, the syntax, the language and the content that gains attention and virality in these spaces. Like just by saying that by being so over the top with this and so academic, you've already lost the young men. This is not a science. You can't back your way into virality. You just have to be cool. And the way you be cool in the modern era is by being yourself and being authentic and not talking down to anyone and not pandering to anyone, which is what the Democrat party has been doing for years. Now. Another finding that came out of this brilliant study, these $20 million that they're investing, is that the Democrats, based on this study, now believe that they should spend their campaign money to buy ads in video games. Because that is what is really going to reach the men. And to that I say get. You know, that could be interesting. That's an interesting tactic. If only your ads didn't look like this. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man, man and I'm man enough. I'm man enough to enjoy a barrel proof bourbon neat. Man enough to cook my steak rare. That is the best one. This guy. I eat my steak rare. I'm a man. You, sir, you're crossing your fricking legs. You literally. You probably had to take a class to try to look like a straight man. This is an actor who probably had to talk to his straight friends and say, how do I act like a masculine? And guess what? They all failed. I completely forgot about this ad until I saw this story and my memory was jogged. But oh my God, like, no wonder you lost. And now according to the Daily Mail, I mean, they're getting roasted for doing this online. But according to the Daily Mail, the Democrats are baffled as to why young men are now leaning Republican, why they're not voting for the Democrats. Like, I'm baffled. Look in the mirror. I mean, at the very core of this issue is the fact that, number one, I don't think you guys actually like men, so that's not gonna help you connect with them. And also, you just don't understand them. And that's evident in everything from that ad that we just watched to them picking Tim Walls as the VP pick, expecting him to connect with American men. And, yes, that is literally why they picked him. And we heard that from his own mouth.
- [06:53]
Tim Walls
I also was on the ticket, quite honestly, you know, because I. I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck, doing that, that I could put them at ease. I was the permission structure to say, look, you can do this and vote for this.
- [07:07]
Brett Cooper
It is so formulaic. It's so academic. I can code talk and put them at ease. You shouldn't need to code talk or put them at ease. They should be put at ease just by you being yourself. We shouldn't be manipulating voters in this way and pandering to them and being like, I'm gonna go play the straight white male character that loves football, and everybody's gonna vote for the African American Indian woman, the first female president. That's not how it works. I mean, it's laughable that they don't understand that. And it's just embarrassing that he was willing to get up on stage and proudly say that. Like, I'm sorry, but I can't imagine why that strategy wasn't successful when the most manly thing they were able to get Tim Walsh to do was pick up a car air filter and then put it back into place. I don't know if you guys remember this ad, but it was incredibly embarrassing.
- [07:55]
Tim Walls
All right. This thing, old school carburetor. You can always tell something about somebody's maintenance. When Manly air filter is to be able to work on this thing, you got a manual. It shows you exactly what to do to fix things on this. Donald Trump and J.D. vance have a manual, too. It's called Project 2025.
- [08:12]
Brett Cooper
My God. And everybody was posting this ad, being like, oh, my God, this is so authentic. Look at him speaking to men, being able to bring up Project 2025. That was not smooth. He literally did something with a wrench. He picked up an air filter and then put it back into place. That is not working on your Car. Now, the tweet that I pulled that video from specifically is this guy, and he said, this car video is why Tim Walls is so loved. No one else can deliver a message so authentically and get to a demographic that the Democrats have struggled so often to reach. So good. What Twilight Zone are you living in, like, genuinely watching this video? I think the only demographic that this would help reach are the boomers, because they would watch this and be like, oh, yes, this will reach the young people and the young men. It's not actually authentically reaching them. It's just pleasing to them because they have this idea of who this very contrived, not authentic ad at is reaching. So clearly, what I am trying to say here is that none of this worked. So maybe, just maybe, studying the syntax and the superficial interest isn't the worst use of $20 million, because obviously, the Democrats need all the help they can get. But I really think it's a lot simpler than what they think. I don't think they need $20 million to understand this, because it's not just men. It's the young women, too. This article reads, the expectation was we're gonna see this break towards Trump among men overall, and we're going to see a break towards Kamala among women overall. But only half of that really seemed to come true. Trump did overperform among young men, but Harris underperformed among young women. That is a surprise. I'm sorry. No, it's not. If you take a step back and look at that election from a bird's eye view, when people were struggling with the economy, when they are worried about World War, like, no wonder you lost the female vote, because all you were doing when you talked to young women was talking about LGBTQ issues and transgenderism and abortion, and you basically just tried to shame and guilt women into voting for you just based on those issues alone, when there are much bigger things that we are all dealing with, and you made it basically a single issue election and shamed us if we did not feel the same way. So, yeah, young women were gonna turn their backs on you because, shocker, not all young women just walk around thinking about killing their babies 24 7. It's a lot more simple than you're making it out to be. So, again, maybe these people do need the help, because obviously their Ivy League educations did not teach them anything. They probably would have been better off attending Psych Peterson Academy. Now, if you are someone who loves lifelong learning, wants to learn from the brightest professors in the world, or if you have ever benefited from any of Dr. Peterson's lectures, then this platform is for you. Every month Peterson Academy releases four new in depth eight hour university level courses taught by world renowned experts. And they are literally produced to keep you fully engaged. This is not traditional schooling, it is better. All of their courses cover an amazing range of topics from philosophy and history to algebra and statistics, psychology, business, complete with optional testing to further your understanding of every single subject. Plus, Peterson Academy is continually rolling, rolling out new educational features as they grow. There is already a built in social community where you can connect and learn alongside like minded people from around the world. So no matter where you are on your educational journey, if you are a college student, if you're somebody who wants to go back to school, if you are a homeschooler who wants to push yourself and just challenge your intellect, it is time to go to petersonacademy.com Brett to get started. It is only $399 per year to access all of their eight hour courses with four new courses a month plus the community with a seven day money back guarantee. And in my opinion the best part is that for that price you don't have to go out and take out some 60,000 DOL loan to further your education. Again that is petersonacademy.com Brett to join Peterson Academy today. Now I know I just made fun of the Democrat party for the last 10 minutes or so, but I do think that there is an issue that both sides need to come together and work on and that is focusing on social media apps targeting minors with pornography. Because we've talked about this before and yes, it is still happening and the conversation right now is focused on Snapchat. Now Snapchat has always been in my opinion one of the most problematic apps on the Internet. Now I didn't really understand this at the time, but now as an adult with a bird's eye understanding all of this, I completely sympathized with my mother when she said this is the one app you will never have. And I, when I got my iPhone I like tried to hide Snapchat. I would like put it behind other apps and like have it on a different page because I really wanted to have Snapchat because everybody else had it. My mom found out obviously it was one of the only times that I ever got grounded and the reason why she didn't want me to have that app was because it was so unsafe because it fed young people specifically this idea of privacy and security but really offered none of that. Now even though these Concerns have existed for years, even years prior to me, like sneaking my way into having a Snapchat account. Very little change has been made to protect the young people who are on Snapchat. And horror story after horror story just keeps coming out. And the most recent one hit X just a couple of days ago. A woman whose name is Nikki Petrossi, she's the host of the scroll to Death podcast, released a shocking video last week showing the dangers of Snapchat even when your child has a quote unquote minor underage account. Take a watch.
- [13:03]
Nikki Petrossi
I just set up a test account on Snapchat as a teenager. This is probably the third time I've done this and it is getting worse. So the main thing I wanted to check was Snapchat's Spotlight section. This is where Snapchat recommends a stream of videos and an algorithm to your child. And as 18 with a new account, as I'm pretending to be, Snapchat has no information on me except my age. It took approximately two minutes to start getting served content about vaping. And within about four minutes I got served this video of a woman lying in a pile of what only looks to be dozens of babies. I don't know what I'm looking at. I don't know if this is AI generated or if I should be calling the police. I, I, I don't understand what I'm seeing. At about five minutes, the sexual content starts. Bestiality videos, lots of videos showing used condoms. This one talking about how long sex should last. And my test session culminated with this video from inside of a strip club.
- [14:05]
Brett Cooper
So this was what she was served when she made a teen account, a brand new account. She has not liked any videos, searched anything. She simply went to the Spotlight section. That's where, you know, I've had videos before. We would upload things there. You might have been surfed My content at one time, like where you're seeing those types of videos, that is the content that she received within five minutes of being on the platform. I mean, there is no world in which that is appropriate. And Snapchat is saying that they are taking all the safety precautions that, you know, your child will have a protected account. They will be underage. We will understand that, we will protect them. And so you as the parent are going, okay, I guess just log in, say you're 14 years old. I'm sure it'll be fine. No, it's not. Unfortunately. You have to be so vigilant because you can't trust any of these people now, even Though Snapchat is definitely not as cool as it was when I was growing up, it is not the app to have. It is still insanely popular. I mean, so many people, especially around my, my age and younger, are still on the platform. And literally since its creation, like I was saying earlier, Snapchat has had all of these problems and concerns. It has been known to be one of the most predatory social media platforms out there. And the way that all of this has been enabled for years is through the app's biggest selling point, which is the fact that the photos and the messages that you send on Snapchat are quickly deleted. You only have 24 hours to read them and reread them, and a person would receive a notification if you saved a photo they sent or took a screenshot of it. So it gave people this false sense of privacy and security. But for parents, it was awful because all of these messages were temporary and private. Parents couldn't monitor any of this. Now, later on, even that false sense of security was blown up after third party apps came on the market that would allow you to take screenshots and save photos without Snapchat notifying you. And Snapchat really didn't do anything to stop that from happening. So again, it was just lawless. And the majority of people who were on there were young people. And the problems have only grown from there, as we all saw in that video. And although it is not unique to just Snapchat, users on the app report that they get bombarded every single day with friend requests from porn bots. Which is ironic considering that Snapchat says that their security guidelines, quote, unquote, strictly prohibit sexual content. But again, that now seems to be the main use for the platform. I mean, for years it has been this hotspot for pedophiles and predators. And the alarming part is that this privacy that Snapchat promotes makes it even harder to find these predators. And even more alarming on top of that is that an internal Snapchat email estimated that the company receives 10,000 reports of sextortion every month, and that that figure is, quote, likely only a fraction of the total abuse occurring on the platform. This was an internal Snapchat email. And even though Snapchat has tried to fix things and prohibit sexual content, even though they enabled parental controls in 2024, which I feel like they should have done years ago, even though all of that is allegedly in place, inappropriate content is still making its way to our kids from phones, which was clearly shown in Nikki's video. And Like I said, I know that I am ragging on Snapchat right now, but this is a problem across social media. This is not something that is just exclusive to Snapchat. Because across the board, simply having a child account, whether it is on Facebook or Instagram or on YouTube and you set it as a minor count, that does not protect anyone. If the algorithms of those platforms are consistently feeding children sexual and mature content, which is what has been happening on Instagram as well for years. And as recently as last week, a new investigation confirmed that even with their tighter controls that they released over the last couple of years after a huge report came out, I think it was from the New York Times and the Washington Post. I remember doing an episode about it about a year ago. Even after all of that came out, it was a bombshell investigation. They promised to make tighter controls. They promised to fix things. Even after they did all of that, children are still being served this content. This is from Mashable. Instagram Teen accounts still exposed to sexual content Investigation fines. The app's tighter controls are apparently not blocking explicit posts. Then what are they doing? Like, genuinely, how hard is it to fix this problem? Especially when it is something that is happening across the board to so many young people in so many families and not to be this huge Debbie Downer and scaring everyone. But unfortunately, Snapchat is not the only thing that is harming our children, because so is the education system. Now, if you guys have been watching me for a while, you probably know how I feel about the education system system. Number one, I would love for the Department of Education to be abolished. I did an entire episode about that and how the world and our country would be a far better place for children if it was abolished. I was homeschooled. I went to public school. I tried private school. My brothers were in boarding school. We have basically tried everything we know our way around the education system. And one thing that I think everyone can agree on is that it is not serving children in the best way possible. And people wonder and freak out about Trump trying to defund the education system system and disband the Department of Education. And then you see articles like this come out that perfectly explain why our education system might possibly need some serious reform. Now. This came out this week from the New York Post. Gen Z is signing up for Adulting 101 classes because they can't handle even basic life skills. A lot of stuff involves money. Yeah, everything in life involves money. And my generation was apparently not taught how to deal with any of it. Now the article reads, until the 1960s, NYC high schoolers learned to cook, clean and sew as part of their standard curriculum. In 2025, they'd be lucky if they knew how to do their laundry. Leitner says that the long lost home economics class ditched during the women's liberation movement. Wow. Just another great thing that Women's Lib brought to our society, that it left behind crucial life lessons for all genders. And that is such an important point, because with Women's Lib, when they got rid of home economics, the whole argument was you're trying to force women into the kitchen. You are subjecting them to this trad wife life. Women can be so much more than just cooks. But it wasn't just women who took those classes. Everybody had to learn how to do laundry and write a check and manage a home. Because guess what? We all live in a home. We all have to be adults. But that was all done away with. And so what that student is saying in this article is not wrong. Home economics classes have decreased around 38% just in the last decade. And based on the research that I did, this is largely thanks to the no Child Left behind act, which shifted focus and funding from a more holistic education to focusing on test scores, one article reads. Society couldn't get over the stereotype of the home economics teacher, says Gayla Randall, an education and program consultant for the Kansas State Department of Education, which is why the name was changed to Family and Consumer Sciences. She says that the rise of testing and no Child Left behind in public schools led to a dark time for home economics. Anything that wasn't about a testing score was scrutinized. And that is just so backwards. Because yes, you are trying to educate students and teach them about math and science and reading, but you also were supposed to be teaching them how to be an adult to prepare them for their life after they graduated school. But that has been completely eradicated. So who teaches them that? Like, whose responsibility is it now to teach kids about their taxes, about how to manage a checkbook or buy a house and clean and cook or cook a good rancher's? And believe it or not, that is actually a skill that young people need to learn because so much of my generation wasn't actually taught how to cook. And good ranchers makes learning that skill in preparing your food so easy and affordable. Because if there's anyone out there who is worried about the tariffs affecting them at the grocery store, do not worry anymore. Because good ranchers is completely tariff and economy proof that is because their meat is actually 100% American. It is born, raised, processed, packaged and shipped out to your house right here in the United States. And because of that, you don't have to worry about your meat prices going up.

There is obviously significant blame placed on the schools, and many still believe that the schools have the responsibility to prepare students in that way. But others are obviously looking at parents because home economics was done away with years ago and the problem still exists. One article arguing this reads that the reason so many people share this mindset is because we have become a society that thinks that kids must learn at school and that that is not the job of parents. And I agree that has been a huge shift that has happened in our world. This is at the root of so many problems in America. We have swallowed the idea that certified teachers are the only ones qualified to teach anything and everything. We've bought into the notion that a college degree equals smart and that if you don't have one, then you don't get a part in the conversation. That's kind of like what we see with the Democrats 24 7. To tie that into the earlier story, we have reduced the role of parents to food, clothing and shelter and allowed everything else to be outsourced. We have given our role away. And this is obviously a huge topic of conversation, especially if you are on X these days. If you engage any of the same podcasts that I'm listening to where parents are reconsidering what education looks like in 2025 because they finally woken up to all of this. They're going, oh my gosh, I'm sending my kids off to daycare during these prime years when I should be there and when attachment is so important, important. And I've been told that it's actually totally fine. And now I'm having to kind of unlearn that people are looking at what schools are actually teaching their kids and saying, oh my gosh, they're being shot out into the world with no understanding of common sense things, what they need to know in order to function. And so I completely agree with this. But I also don't want to just point the finger at parents because they have a life, they have jobs, they're trying to provide for their family. And also so many things have changed since when they were in school. I mean, my mom, who was born in 1960, the education system has drastically changed. What she was taught as a teenager was not what I received when I did my one year stint in public school. And so parents need to understand that and not expect that school is always going to pick up the slack and teach them everything that their child needs to know. I mean, the tech is different, the social media platforms that they need to monitor for their children are completely different. You know, home economics classes are not the norm anymore. You have to step in. And unfortunately that is a lot of work. And with the time constraints of, you know, being in school, school from 8am to 3pm and then having extracurriculars and playing soccer and doing homework, often there isn't time for that. And that's why so many parents are completely turning the system upside down and saying we have to just start from scratch. Because obviously this isn't working. This isn't creating well rounded, adept, flexible, productive young people. Which is why now Gen Z is having to sign themselves up for these classes because nobody else taught them. Because in 2025, your child school, unless they are in some awesome, you know, unique program, which is great if you have found that for them, but unless they are in something like that, your child's school is designed to teach them how to take tests and how to get into a good college. You have to do the rest. They might not tell you that, but you do have to. And I know that there are great teachers out there who fight the system that are doing their hardest. But unfortunately, due to time constraints and the amount of kids that are in these classrooms, that often falls to the wayside. But thankfully, guys, thankfully I'm excited to tell you about this. There has been one teacher in particular that has just been so hands on and that would be the president of France's former teacher, his wife, Brigitte Macron. Now if you guys do not know the story, if you did not watch Candace's entire series, her expose over the last year about Brigitte Macron, you need to go do that. So the president of France is a man named Emmanuel Macron and he is married to a woman named Brigitte Macron. And I say woman in that way because that, you know, in 2025 is very much up for debate. But I will let Candace take that story from there. But Brigitte, whoever she is, is 24 years older than Emmanuel Macron. And this unique couple met and fell in love when Emmanuel was a 15 year old student at the school where Brigitte was a teacher. And at the time he was 15 years old and she was a 39 year old married mother of three. Now again, that is just the bare bones overview. Go watch Candace's entire series because there's not just the theory that Brigitte is a man. But that Brigitte also could. Could be Emmanuel Macron's father or uncle. But regardless, somebody needs to call cps because Brigitte Macron was literally caught on camera shoving Emmanuel Macron in the face before they got off a plane. And we're just gonna watch this in slow motion because it is just a hundred times better. Okay, look at this. Here we go. Slow motion. The door opens. He doesn't know there are cameras. He's standing there. Kwapow. All arms reach out. Now, that right there is my favorite part of the entire video, because he notices. He looks over. He's just been shoved in the face by his wife. And he looks over, and it's like a sitcom. Like, oh, everything's fine. Everything's great. It's like this. Like, you were literally watching it happen in slow motion. He's like, oh, my God, everybody just saw me get shoved by my spouse. And then he immediately darts off screen onto the plane to go handle that situation. I'm sure. I mean, it is so weird. And, guys, for like, 48 hours, this was my entire feed on X. Everybody was breaking it down. And Candace obviously was the first one to tweet about it. I feel like she probably woke up in the middle of the night, like, with Spidey senses being like, something happened with Brigitte. Like, she is that, like, clued in to this story. But my favorite part of this entire weird situation is the fact that they said that all of this was just playful. This is just normal things that happen between a husband and a wife. They wrote, there's a video showing me joking and teasing my wife, and somehow that becomes sort of a geoplanet planetary catastrophe with people even coming up with theories to explain it. We are horsing around and really just joking with my wife. Okay, I'm sorry. You know, spouses, people who are love you do joke around. You have fun. I would not call shoving your spouse basically, like shoving your thumbs up his nose and grabbing his neck. I wouldn't really consider that playful. Maybe that's not the marriage that I'm in. Maybe in France that's actually really playful. Who knows? Maybe it's the cultural divide. But that is an insane way to rationalize what we just saw. Especially because later on in the footage, when they are finally getting off the plane after they go in the. They handle that little situation, they're walking off, and you can see him try to grab Brigitte's hand, like, hey, look where everything's fine. And she ignores him. She's like, no, now I don't want to touch your hand. So obviously things were not as playful as they were trying to tell us all they were. Now, speaking of bisexual couples, allegedly, I saved my favorite story for last. And that would be the update that I know you all have been waiting for with bated breath. Is JoJo Siwa actually dating a man? Has she fully rejected lesbianism? And guys, I think she might have. So this story has officially gone full circle. We talked about it about a month ago, jojo Siwa was on Big Brother. She was peeing in kitty litter boxes in a cat outfit. Do not know. Do not ask me to explain that. I mean, she was canoodling up with a man who was not her girlfriend back at home. She was having these big conversations, saying that maybe she's not actually a lesbian, but that she's really queer. She also feels like maybe she doesn't feel like a woman. Maybe she's actually just non binary. All of this stuff was happening on camera while she was not able to talk to her girlfriend back at home. Now, I did an update in that first episode that I did about it because after we had filmed the episode, Big Brother ended, she left the set, and she broke up with a girlfriend back at home. So everybody was speculating, oh, my gosh, is she gonna get with the guy? Is she gonna get with Chris? Is Jojo for the first time basically ever, is she gonna be with a man? And guys, it appears that that is officially the case. Maybe she's straight, or at least she is just queer and exploring this side of herself right now. But she has now made her relationship with Chris Instagram and kissing in public official. These are the things that she posted on social media. And then this is what onlookers captured while they are vacationing or doing something. They were in a pool canoodling. Now, she insists that they are not exclusive yet. They are just exploring. They're having a good time together. And that also was not a surprise to me because I feel like I have talked about JoJo Siwa so much in the last couple of years, and I feel like she's always changing some part of herself every couple of months. She really is just on a journey. And to find herself, which, to be completely honest, I understand because she was a child star, she really didn't have a private personal life. And so now she's an adult and she's trying to figure out her place in the world, and everybody's telling her she's one thing, and she might feel a Different way. And she's like, no, I'm a lesbian. Maybe I'm not. I'm like a queer icon. Whatever is going on, she changes her mind basically every day. So maybe it's a good thing that they are not fully exclusive. But in looking at all these pictures and looking at the videos of her and this guy Chris, I don't even know who he is. He's some, like, reality star person. JoJo genuinely looks happier and more natural than she has in years. Like, she looks relaxed and at peace with this person. Probably because she's not playing pretend anymore or trying to be what society was telling her she needed to be, that she was this gay icon and she had to hold it all up. Like, maybe she just needed to find somebody that she connected with. And all of this. As I was going through the story, it reminded me so much of Demi Lovato's whole gender identity story. I don't know if you guys followed all of that, but. But back in 2017, Demi Lovato was going through a time, to say the least, and she came out as queer and was battling substance abuse. That was soon after she had her overdose. And then by 2021, things had just gotten worse. She was trying to be sober, but she was California sober, so she wasn't doing hard drugs, but she was smoking weed. She was also, like, hunting aliens and ghosts. She was, like, singing her song Skyscraper to ghosts. And funnily enough, guys, I don't think I've ever told this story, but I actually did an episode about Demi Lovato, you know, hunting ghosts, whatever, on comment section, Alex watched that video. That was the first thing that he ever texted me about. And he accidentally sent it to a wrong number. So he sent this, like, funny text being like, hi, it's Emmy Lovato. I'm looking for other queer alien ghost hunters. He sent it to a random person. We have no idea who he sent it to. He finally figured out what my number actually was and was like, oh, my God, I'm so embarrassed. This is what I said to this person. Anyway, great opening line. If you need to slide into a girl's text, DMs, whatever, you can use emulovato. Anyway, that was going on in 2021. But by the end of 2021, Demi had realized that California sober was not working for her. She became completely sober. And since then, just everything has gotten better. In 2023, she finally went back to she, her pronoun. She also dropped Scooter Braun as her manager, so it Seemed like there was a lot of healing happening in her life, both in personal life and career. That is a good thing. And now, guys, it is 20, 25 and she just got married. She just got married to a man. And I have never seen her look more beautiful and at pieces or some photos from her wedding. Like, she looks so healthy and so natural and so beautiful. And she just keeps talking about how happy she is and how she's never felt better. Like, this is wonderful. This is a success story. And I'm not just saying that because she married a man. Like, I really don't care. But it's because she genuinely looks healthy. Because very much like Jojo, she did not have a private childhood. She was chewed up and spit out in Hollywood. And she was around all of those terrible influences and around so many different types of drugs. And her family really wasn't supportive and she had to find her way. But eventually she did. And so I'm so excited to cheer her on. I hope we see that with Jojo Siwa. I hope maybe this is a good fit. If it's not this guy, maybe it's somebody else. But I hope we continue seeing her have that much peace and have that glow around her. Because obviously something has changed in Jojo, so I am cheering her on. And so, my friends, that is all I have for you today. And I think that there are a few important takeaways here. Number one, please, for God's sake, stop making everything about sex. Stop giving us sexual things 24. 7. Stop. Stop feeding sexual things to minors. Stop shaming men and talking down to them. Stop shaming heterosexual relationships and actually focus on policies that will help our country and help our education system. We should embrace tradition. Because while, yes, it might not be for everyone, happy relationships and happy marriages seem to be a good foundation for a happy, thriving society. Because if it can help Demi Lovato and Jojo Siwa, I think it can help us all. Thank you very much. I want chips so bad, but I don't want to eat this. Seed oil, fried GMO chemical poison. Is it really too much to ask for a tortilla chip that isn't essentially made of garbage?
