Navigating Digital Realities: Tourette's Tales, Social Media Impact, and the Joy of Diverse Content
What if you discovered that a simple social media scroll could lead you to a treasure trove of inspiration and laughter? This episode celebrates the dynamic world of content creators who are reshaping narratives and embracing challenges with humor and grace. We share a heartwarming tale of Baylen Dupree, whose journey with Tourette's syndrome is not just inspiring but also a testament to the power of authenticity. Her upcoming TLC show has us eagerly anticipating more of her candid humor, much like the comedians and entertainers who've used their platforms to uplift and entertain. Alongside Baylen's story, we recount personal anecdotes, like a friend's experience with Tourette's from childhood trauma, emphasizing how diverse the paths are to coping with life's curves.
Listeners are in for a treat as we chat about the diverse tapestry of content we consume daily. From reality shows like "7 Little Johnstons" to the science fiction wonders of Star Wars, our conversation spans various interests that captivate our imagination. Whether it's a tattooed influencer questioning religious norms or a rabbi offering fresh insights, these narratives enrich our understanding of culture and humanity. We also have a soft spot for the quirky and whimsical, from nostalgic 80s content to videos of puppies that bring a smile to our faces. And let’s not forget the comedic skits that keep us chuckling, grounding us in the shared joy of laughter.
As we unravel the complex web of social media algorithms, we ask how these digital patterns affect what we see and engage with—and consider the ethical implications of it all. We share strategies for managing our digital consumption and suggest documentaries like "The Social Dilemma" for a deeper dive into the topic. Amidst it all, we celebrate trailblazers like McKinnon Galloway, a deaf educator and entertainer who uses her platform to teach with humor and resilience. From dark humor that makes us laugh guiltily to the latest vampire film, our show promises an engaging blend of insights and entertainment, as we toast to another year of podcasting adventures.

I can't believe it. We're 10 now 10 days into January, I think.
Speaker 2:What's today's date? Yeah, oh snap 10 days. Holy frijoles Already. Yeah, that was quick as hell, bro. I wasn't expecting that shit. Of course, godly, this is bananas. We're already what. This is year three for us.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:We started in a weird time when we first started. We started in october of that year. We could look it up, of course, yeah, but so it's kind of so two and a half, two and a quarter, yeah, I think we're going on. Yeah, we're probably getting close to three now yep, and we're.
Speaker 2:What was it again? We're a couple of episodes shy of our 100th episode.
Speaker 1:I believe it's six right now, yes, if I'm not mistaken. Very cool.
Speaker 2:Cool stuff 100. Looking forward to it 100. We're going to get it done. Yeah, get her done. All right, anyway.
Speaker 1:So talk to us, bro Topic. So I thought we would do something where we who we follow if there's anybody that we kind of pay attention to when we're on social media.
Speaker 1:You know, for me I always see this young lady and she's always on. Her name is Baylen Dupree, right? She has Tourette's syndrome and her videos are hysterical. Yeah, now of course she has an illness. She's has Tourette's, and this is it's not a funny thing, but but because of how comfortable she is with it. You see that, and that's what makes it funny, you know. In other words, you're not really poking fun at her you're laughing with her rather than at her right.
Speaker 1:Right, it's weird she's, but she's, she's also very pretty young lady. Uh, boyfriend, now she's got a show all of a sudden, all this. Yeah, she's gonna a show All of a sudden, all this. Yeah, she's going to show on TLC that's coming up. Yeah, I got to watch it. I want to see it. So I just thought it was great, because when you watch her videos, she says the most outrageous things and it just pops ahead and it's just you can't help, but this is funny.
Speaker 2:So now, when she says the most outrageous things, is it that she's doing a video? No, no, no, she's being like.
Speaker 1:It depends on how she feels. I've seen a couple where she wasn't good and. I've seen videos where she was, you know, just explaining something or trying to do something, you know, and and then she would, and then it would kick in, and then she would just have whatever kind of I don't know what it's called ticks, right, right, right. The ticks just kick in and she they're verbal, they're also physical, but she's a trooper, I think, because she takes it on for me the way I'm looking at it is, she takes it on head on, yeah, she's this she takes it on head on?
Speaker 1:yeah, she's not she. I'm sure she has her hard days, the ones that you know, but she seems to be getting you know she has control of it when she's right, okay, yeah because it's only fair, right? I mean, you're not gonna have always have a good day, and I can imagine being something, having something like that and feeling a certain way. We're having something like that, right? Maybe those days aren't so great.
Speaker 2:I can't, I wouldn't know yeah, well, remember back in the day, the bunch of years in the 80s, there was a young lady, uh, stand-up comedian. She was on facts of life and she had ms and she had the.
Speaker 2:You know, the muscles would cramp up oh yes, I remember that and she was hilarious, bro, she was funny as hell and she used to do a little bit of her little you know stand-up skit stuff on on the show. You know they let her do it and she went all over. She was on tour all over the place. So you know, you know, just you commend people for you know, yeah, because it takes a lot of um.
Speaker 1:Even if that wasn't I don't know if that was her way or just she was just being natural, and this is how she dealt with it regardless, and she was just being who she was, and if that's the case, even better.
Speaker 3:You know, I mean it's like oh, my god you know you remember when I was uh still doing my tech talk back in the day? Uh, yeah, I had that one friend that was on tech talk that did the um that he had the Tourette's and he would talk about yes number as a matter of fact.
Speaker 1:Yes, I do. Irish guy I remember and I told Tanya the other night about that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah yeah, I'm even friends with him on Facebook too, right, you know we talk from time to time.
Speaker 1:Now, in his case, though right In his case, he had a very like we kind like in his 20s.
Speaker 3:He had childhood trauma when he was young, right, but somehow in his 20s he like it was affecting him more and he got like Tourette's what?
Speaker 1:yeah, that's insane, because that Tanya said to me well, do you think it's true? You think it's just because that's who she is, or the her by? You know her by biology and. I'm like possibly. But I said, but don't forget, I know a guy that and I mentioned the gentleman you did, um everything and I said but that was more because it was trauma involved. Yeah, yeah, so I guess it could happen either way, which is interesting. I didn't know that. So I guess you get to respite.
Speaker 1:But you do you think there's ever an underlying thing, or you think it's just what it is and you just kind of you deal with it well, there's different an underlying thing, or do you think it's just what it is and you just kind of deal with it?
Speaker 2:Well, there's different kinds of Tourette's.
Speaker 1:So you know, you just have like just a non-purple. Some people just have a tick, some people just have a physical tick, right, they just move and everything. Yeah, I knew someone like that.
Speaker 2:Like the heavy eye blinking yeah. Other ones, like I knew this one kid and he used to have his neck twitch and he would turn his face if he was licking his shoulder on his sleeve and stuff. Then you see the classic. You know who has Tourette's? No, Billie Eilish. Yes, yes, yes, Really.
Speaker 1:Yes, she had an interview with-. I heard that I don't know what it was With NBC. Late Night, kimmel, no.
Speaker 3:That's right. I remember her saying that. You know, I remember that too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just, and he was interviewing her.
Speaker 1:And he, who else was on there before everybody Before he? Letterman? Yes, letterman, he was interviewing her. Thank you.
Speaker 3:I don't remember that.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, that's horrible. And she had one like he was really cool about it, um, and she was very open about it and she told her she goes. No, she said some people thought I was being funny when I did it when they first. You know my friends, so you know it's interesting how some people have it right.
Speaker 2:Right, we have more people have it than you think yeah, because we never think about what we have, what we each have right, what's going on?
Speaker 3:yeah, you know, like I don't know, I don't even know what mine is also some, like I said, how we were talking about some of those like non-verbal tics like some people don't even consider. That didn't know that was to rat right.
Speaker 1:You know we're like um right like um.
Speaker 3:I remember I had a friend growing up. His parents, the mom, always like she was a hard blinker, that's. Tourette's, but that's not like that's like a, very like mild and what did you say this young lady's name was, I'm sorry, baylin Dupree?
Speaker 2:so then you've never seen anything that she said that you know why it is. I think now we're going to learn in the TLC special, because she was just doing videos like she would talk.
Speaker 1:That you know why it is. Why it is how I think now we're gonna learn in the TLC special, because really, she was just doing videos like right, she would talk about stuff too.
Speaker 1:You know what she didn't like. You know, now she just got a dog, so she loves this thing. It makes her feel it's helping her. There you go with what's going on. Yeah, seems like you know, support pet. The show happened, which is, which is great. So that's the other thing too. It shows that we are capable, even though it's on TV and I get it. They're going to do whatever they, but we're getting to that point where, okay, people need to see this and see what it's like. Obviously, they're going to bleep the hell out of her.
Speaker 1:Sometimes, she doesn't, but when she goes off on a rant man, it's me and some of the things she says baby wieners, little baby wieners. That's hilarious bro, I'm dying, I love her that I think she's amazing um, you know, and to have that kind of um, just go and be who you are and right fight through it and do whatever you're doing, but that's the thing I think. That's what a lot of uh a lot of social media people do. People need to see that, so it's good that it's on TV.
Speaker 2:That's what I was going to say I think a lot of people on social media.
Speaker 1:They do these things to bring it to light. It makes us be a little less more judgmental, I think.
Speaker 3:And more awareness.
Speaker 1:Exactly. If you didn't, well, yeah, there's a dose, yeah, but like if you ran into someone, you might be like, oh, you'd be caught off guard, right, You'd be getting a little scared by this person. You know, right, violent, you know, like you don't know, you know what I?
Speaker 3:mean.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:Because? But then when you, if the awareness is out there, just by existing and having a channel, you know?
Speaker 1:You know it was on 18th Avenue. I was walking across the street from the corner on 65th where Birders is on that block, going towards the Walker Theater.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 1:All right, I was crossing and this woman grabbed me, young woman, I was old, I was a teenager, she was older than me but like in her 20s or something Grabbed me and she was deaf and she was like, and she scared the living shit out of me, oh, I took off, I was gone, I was out, I was like I. It took me by surprise. I didn't know until later on, when I thought about it and figured it out and especially, you know it was funny how you think about this thing.
Speaker 3:He brought that up, so but that's how I reacted, which is again a good that but that's good that there's more awareness about it so people can go oh absolutely someone's like having a lot of tics or something like that, people go, oh it's yeah, right, like, because you know what the thing is that the, the stigma with any kind of mental disability or disability is like danger like yeah, it's contagious.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. Yeah, I'm gonna catch you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean like maybe they're, you know well, back in the day, you know everybody's afraid if someone has some kind of mental illness or some kind of neurological disorder like that. They speak differently, they act differently, people hear them and they think maybe the person's freaking out and they're going to go punch someone. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3:It's also possible how did you come across her?
Speaker 2:she's on our.
Speaker 1:Instagram. We follow her on instagram, oh so she's on instagram.
Speaker 3:She's also on facebook, she's on youtube.
Speaker 1:All right, she's got a load of followers, millions, um and she's funny and she just I like the fact that she just, she just allows, accepts it in a sense, which I, I'm sure, on the other hand, she has, like I said earlier has her days, like we all doing this. It's just going to happen regardless. That's just part of the whole cycle, man, in order to get better in life, I guess, right.
Speaker 2:As we go on, definitely.
Speaker 1:We all have our shit. Actually, maybe you don't have Tourette's, but you have something else going on like OCD ADHD going on like ocd adhd.
Speaker 2:Those things are not real. Yeah, I have all day. No, that's not stuff. But you're right, it's it's adhd right there, yeah, anywhere there.
Speaker 1:We know you're, yeah, no doubt yeah for sure. Yeah, no, I'm just seeing, that's what I'm saying so it's good that, like how I'm saying to get it out, people see it. It's on tlc, which is a. It's a you know, it's a family channel terrible too, man.
Speaker 1:So it's kind of, in a sense, a learning channel where people can go and see right and understand what's going on but remember when you first yeah, right, but when you first heard about it, when you saw it or you heard about it, you were like this is bullshit, it's ridiculous, right, because you didn't think that that could. But then, when you, as you, started to see, it wasn't just one person or whatever it was.
Speaker 2:It's not that you thought it was bullshit.
Speaker 1:It just. You never seen anything like that before. Just right, it just blew your mind when you didn't.
Speaker 2:Well, tlc, they do a lot of it. I mean they, they, uh, they have the uh seven little johnsons. That's about the, the little people that there is, the whole family. Oh right, I gotta watch this season. I like that show. They're funny, they're awesome, they're a great, great family. I love them. I never follow them on social media, but you know, the TLC's, I think, is a good station for that. That would be yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm interested to see what it is. I'm gonna look, I'm gonna watch them for sure. I'm gonna see, because I think she's got her boyfriend in with her, her mom, her dog. You know, you, you see her in real life of what's going on, you know now, do you generally see follow those kind of things?

Speaker 1:And he has this knowledge about children and how you should be and all this other stuff. It's very interesting, it's very good and, of course, because they believe in certain things as far as God is concerned or whatever, that's in there, but it's not in a it's just very nonchalant talk.
Speaker 3:It's not in a Right right, right right.

Speaker 3:But I love how this one guy, he dives into the books and then they do some illustrations and talks about some of the stories. There's like oh and Vader or whatever, and there's the whole thing where it's like what Vader's thoughts were. It has a different take on it.
Speaker 2:It's pretty cool. I love that stuff. Yeah, that's freaking great.

Speaker 3:I'll find it Like, because you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like, but he's getting a lot of. He has some pushback because you call the gasoline and it's not and I don't even know where.
Speaker 3:I put this thing so. That would be good though, because you could scoop all the plastic out of the ocean Right. That was the whole thing. So he's basically like the process of melting it. I apologize.
Speaker 2:Just the way that he does. It is just reversed.
Speaker 1:Julian Brown. Nature Jeb Yep. Julian Brown. He's on Instagram. He's also on Facebook, yeah he's on everything and he's on YouTube, he's on everything. I'm pretty sure he is. And this guy, he keeps plugging away. He has this machine and he has the plastic. People send him plastic. He explains his process. He goes through it.
Speaker 3:Why is it? Because oil is the same thing. Oil is in everything, oil is in all of that stuff.
Speaker 1:So they're trying to say that some people push him back. But yeah, he's got to do a whole thing. Hey, my thing is he's learning, he's doing something to help the environment. You're getting rid of it, so why not use it for?
Speaker 2:what it?
Speaker 1:helps. And if there are things that shouldn't be in there or that we got to take out. I'm sure he was working on that.
Speaker 2:So he uses Right and it's everything. So he extracts the stuff out of the oil, out of the plastic, and then he recycles what's left over. So yeah, yeah, yeah, he's good with that, yeah, he's the man, yeah, and that's the whole point of it, man.
Speaker 1:And then, of course, using it. You know, mind his mouth. We got abundance of it. Might as well, use it on, burn Right, get rid of it. That's one of the ways we can do it. So he there. So I guess he gets some pushback because some people say, you know, um, it's not, you know, they're trying to say that it's not a good thing, it's bad for the environment, things like that, yeah, yeah, yeah, or burning or using it. But he used it. Um, I remember seeing him helping. Uh, he partnered with a um gentleman from the army I'm not sure if he was a sergeant or not, so I don't want to say, but he has this machine where he is able to pull the air and turn it into water. Oh, yeah, to take that and make it into water, yeah, it's awesome and he gets a lot.
Speaker 1:So he used his fuel to fuel his machine and they collaborated together, which is great. I'm going to look the gentleman up, but I thought it was really cool that he did that and that helps. And then, of course, he has other people who he was already on the news, already in his area, and he has a live chat too. I tried to get on him one night, but I think it was already like a repeat or something, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:But I did chat with him. I said, hey, how did you figure this out? And he said he said he because he said the science was always there, so it wasn't like it wasn't there. He just had to figure out how to get it done kind of thing yeah because he did and he's doing
Speaker 1:it he's okay. Somebody sent the machine because he was using this thing to cut up the plastic. Right, did you watch that part? Yep, and then someone sent him a really good machine to like, really cut the plastic up good like into small pieces.
Speaker 3:Yeah, shredded, it's got to be reversed engine, right exactly. He had to sell the machine that was kind of cutting it and it wasn't really doing right yeah I think he's.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure if he still uses that machine enough, but interesting, yeah. So. So what? He's been getting equipment from people. They've been sending it to him, him, which is great, that's pretty cool. I think so. I think that's great. Yeah, you see this figure again someone else who's just plugging away on that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Dude, listen, it is insane what the things that we see different people doing on there and the shit that they're making this kid to turn around and do that, bro, that's insane. They have the music ones insane, like they have the music ones. They have the people that, uh, they play music, they'll do whatever song and they're all on social media at the same time on like a live kind of thing, and it's freaking awesome, bro, and I love that kind of shit. I said, like we were talking before the sciences. I love the science. Watching all that. I love the comedies are my favorite.
Speaker 2:I follow this one guy he said in spanish his name is, uh, lejuan james. Bro, he is hilarious with his parents, the stuff that he does with them and to them and shit, and he's actually, uh, it's a good, it's a cool background story on him. You know he you know parents working super hard and whatnot became an influencer and doing all these you know funny skits and whatnot ended up buying his parents a house nice, yeah, like, bought him a big ass house too, man Well, you know, he was probably saying hey, you guys got me here so.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly what he said, man. He said it and it was a tear jerker when he did it. Nice, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:That's always nice man.
Speaker 2:Because he hadn't recorded what it was and he was like Again, that's your house. Mom just broke down what. Dad started to cry. I'm watching the video. I love this guy.
Speaker 1:You know, I would have been like something wrong with the siding. Yeah.
Speaker 2:No, you probably would have too, bro, there's still tape on the windows.
Speaker 1:What's going on?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you probably would have too, bro, that's funny. Just to bust my son's chest, Just to you know, after but it was it was he, he's, he's one of my favorites. He's a funny.
Speaker 1:That's great if you can do that. You know that's a great thing to do, that for them to do for your parents, you know yeah.
Speaker 2:Yup, and he's a good, he's good people, you know he's, he's it's anybody who's Spanish knows. You know you get hit with the, with the flip-flop, the chancleta. You know you turn around and you're eating, you got a foods, or your mom is yelling at you clean this shit up, or in Spanish, or whatever.
Speaker 1:And he does all those kind of skits. Yo, he's freaking hilarious. You know that that's I think that's a universal thing oh yeah, it is my uncle was telling me growing up, his mother would throw a shoe and it would find him around corners, she would throw that thing and somehow it found its way going like a boomerang around corners my mom did the same shit bro.
Speaker 2:So I think it's a universal thing I think that's a mom thing, regardless of your heritage. It's funny and when you do the things that you do, like you're scaring the moms. There's another one.
Speaker 1:I bet you there's a site on. I bet you there's a site with the chocolate. I've seen a couple of funnies on there.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, dude, there's a whole bunch of them like right now. I've been watching a whole bunch and I fell into that algorithm of watching the people getting uh like doing the actions, like it's not on purpose, so, like you know, riding the skateboard and uh tries to do a rail slide and slips and then he's, like you know, he lands split leg on the-.
Speaker 1:I've seen this. I hate those videos, man. Yeah, man, because these people fall. Yep, I'm like dude, don't do that.
Speaker 2:But some of the stuff that happens is so funny because it's them. People try to make a video when they're dancing or whatever, and they'll slip when they're doing the video and then all of a sudden you like the table, flip up it's like that, that crazy video from back in the day where the lady was on.
Speaker 1:I don't remember this. She was in the, she was stopping wine, she was on this platform and both people were in that the woman who was from the place and the reporter was with her and she goes oh, yeah, she was okay, a race and she did it real fast and she tripped it, fell out of it and fell on the floor. Yes, and she made these horrible noises which unfortunately made me laugh so hard?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was that kind of shit.
Speaker 1:People with their bikes when they slam into stuff and they get hit in the chest.
Speaker 3:You know what's my favorite one? They even imitated on Family Guy, the grape stomping lady.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. I can't breathe. That's the one I'm talking about. That's the one listen to her.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, but yeah it was funny, it was funny the way you sounded was funny, and I didn't mean in a mean way, but you made me laugh. Hey, you know, you made me laugh, you know yeah, listen, I feel like for people when they fall bro, yeah, so not in front of them, but like in my inside like inside, I do it, but for myself. I already fell outside my door and the bush big fan of dark humor, so yes, it's insane.
Speaker 3:You gotta laugh at yourself, man. I love dark humor, yeah yeah, it is freaking.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying like. So I like there's a quote from uh stalin.
Speaker 1:I shouldn't say oh, please, don't do it. Don't do it please.
Speaker 3:It's why I said dark humor is like food and not everyone gets it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, that's fucked up I saw that one.
Speaker 3:I saw that one that's messed up dude, dude, listen, my algorithm is comedy.
Speaker 2:Uh, and automobiles, cars, bikes, all that kind of stuff, right, I watch all the you know the crazy motorcycle rides, whatever you know. I was there, did that, done that, you know. And then I said all the comedies, the funnies, oh my goodness, the, the, the funny baby stuff, holy cow, I love it, I love it. Sometimes I just go into my, into the search bar and then just look to see what's in there and just but for me, like the thing with dark humor though is, it's just it's because it's because it's like that suppressed laughter right, it's not supposed to laugh yes, so it's like so fucked up.
Speaker 3:You're like, oh, you know, you just can't help it. Have you guys seen the ones where, where?
Speaker 2:the people. There's two people walking and like one is holding the. You know, you just can't help but laugh. Well, have you guys seen the ones where there's two people walking and like one is holding the camera, you know, recording the other person, and there's like this one is?
Speaker 3:with this guy. So this guy is walking.
Speaker 2:Facebook or Instagram. So this guy is walking and you know the lady turned around and says, oh look, he's running for the next Happy Meal at McDonald's because he's a heavy set guy. And then they flick over to her and she's in the wheelchair. Oh, look at her. She thought she could run and you know she's pushing herself in the wheelchair. It's that kind of dark humor, shit. Yo. I laugh so hard because they've done it. It's just different people that are just taking up. It's like a challenge. You know, make fun of your friend you like, so listen man I I fell a couple of weeks back.
Speaker 1:A few weeks back I went out. I thought I had to go back to the car and get something. I turned around up on the steps, went out, forgot there was another step. I went face first into the bush.
Speaker 1:It was all on my, it was all my ring and everything. Dude, you gotta post it. So I told time I just fell in the bush. She's like what I'm like? Yeah, she's like. I said it's on the ring, so she gets it. We watched it. I was hysterical laughing. Yeah, I was hysterical laughing, I'm like I was like. I said this to my son.
Speaker 3:He was like a guy who was like um, coming out the door or something like he was trying to steal something, so he doubled back in the store so, but we tried to chase him out. He was running through the store so we tried to chase him on the sidewalk. So I'm running on the sidewalk and I hit ice and I tumbled.
Speaker 2:Right in front of the camera.
Speaker 1:And I kept playing it back. We were laughing. You have to laugh at yourself Because it's funny. You can't help it. If you don't laugh at yourself, then you definitely are Not a very happy person Now you know the algorithm that I'm on, so we have that on ours too. Yeah, follow all all that stuff as well. That is the funny, funny humor, dark humor, anything that was I also I'll have the. You have to laugh at.
Speaker 3:You know, stuff is just so messed up and it's all you can do sometimes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have to, yeah, you have to. That's why I appreciate us.
Speaker 1:So it's a weird sense of humor to have but like some things are just so hard, I like lowing a lot of different things and getting what the fuck, and that too. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's why I appreciate us? Because we stay away from the you know crazy, away from the you know crazy super serious stuff, you know, I feel like you do some things.
Speaker 2:But well, I'm saying, like you know, they for us it's, it's things that to help people out when we do our psa stuff, you know what I mean. And then the funnies and the kind of cool you know topics that we do. I think cool topics, you know, is to just have everybody just get away from that. You know all that other bullshit exactly aren't you following some uh uh?
Speaker 1:a woman who was, uh gonna hopefully be a guest on our uh podcast yeah, that too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, one of our friends. Uh, I'm friends with tara she's she's a mechanical wolf actor, so she talks about a lot of that stuff. Yeah, I can't wait to have her.
Speaker 2:Awesome, that's gonna be good. What'd you say?
Speaker 3:in february, I think she said yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's gonna be, so that's going to be cool.
Speaker 2:So, yes, the fans look forward to that one. That one seems like it's going to be pretty groovy. We'll post her name up and whatnot.
Speaker 3:She can check her out, but nothing said in stone yet, so I just don't know, yeah, Either way still she's a groovy one you know, we can do it yeah, I'm interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's good. So you know we follow her obviously do we follow on instagram?
Speaker 2:yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:We'll put her up on the thing, too, do I need to follow on instagram? Tiktok is oh, that's right. Oh, on it, so we're on tiktok.
Speaker 3:She's on patreon too, but it's a free patreon account all right, fine, that's fine good yeah, so we're good to go, man, so it's awesome or you can, you know, donate if you want, you know but, she doesn't like like. You don't have to pay to like.
Speaker 2:Follow her right on there. You can still watch it, so yeah, people are using that for you know.
Speaker 3:So yeah, it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2:It's gonna be fun having her on saying all the other ufo stuff that we have. You know that we've spoken on that's. That's, that's the bomb we follow a lot of that stuff as well.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the universe I see that's on my page for the UFOs which I have on mine as well.
Speaker 1:I will forward it right to ours. And usually I think it gets. I think it gets shared automatically, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, it does Right, but if it doesn't, I still share it anyway because I'm like, I want to, I want to see it on there and I all that stuff.
Speaker 2:I mean, we followed. Oh my goodness, I was going to say Hubble telescope, not the Hubble. What's the other telescope?
Speaker 1:Webb, the Webb telescope, you know yes, we have that on there as well. Yeah, most of all that stuff, actually anything yeah, that is so crazy, you know. You know what I'm saying like I said, all that stuff science, yeah, space exploration will we be able to ever beat the speed of light?
Speaker 3:you know, and if we do it's again.
Speaker 2:You know it's impossible um all that stuff you know, yeah, it's good stuff man, do we follow bill nye? What bill nye? The science guy bill, I believe we I.
Speaker 1:At one point we did have money, but he hasn't.
Speaker 3:I haven't seen anything because I know we do the grassy well, you know, the thing is is sometimes the um, it gets buried in the algorithm it does.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying. Yeah, you know, it just goes.
Speaker 3:That's the thing I I hate sometimes like about social media is like stuff you could be following stuff and but like, if you don't like, you see a couple videos of them and maybe you scroll past it, because maybe you're trying to find something else, because sometimes you're just scrolling past stuff, because maybe you're like, oh, I want to see a post on you know right, and because you, and because you've passed it, it's like oh, I guess you didn't like this.
Speaker 2:So bury it in the algorithm. Well, it's funny, you know what I mean. But I saw the other day, yesterday, day before, where it asks if you like what's coming up so far, and then you hit yeah and then you know you could basically put in the algorithm you want to be in, yeah.
Speaker 1:I usually whatever I don't like or see on our page, including myself. Man, if it's something that doesn't make me feel I don't like it, it makes me uneasy or whatever it is, you're out.
Speaker 3:You're done. I don't want to see that shit on my page, but what I'm saying with the algorithm is right. So, like, sometimes you're like in the mood for something specific, so you're just scrolling to find something, and because you pass something up that maybe on another day you'd be interested in, right.
Speaker 1:Now it's like it takes, so they actually know that you're passing things up when you're looking at your phone. Yeah, that's the idea. Oh, you got to watch. Go first.
Speaker 3:Go to Netflix and watch.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right, you haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 3:What's that documentary called?
Speaker 3:Yes, oh, an algorithm the problem, the social network problem, or something like that right, okay, dude, you have to see that you actually know by the millisecond how long you're looking at a post when you're scrolling yeah, instagram yeah, that's how smart the algorithm is amazing, unbelievable and and it's like, yeah, so, and then that's how the algorithm, just by looking at it, whether you like it, liking it and commenting it, obviously picks it back up more, but just by the amount of time that you've spent looking at that video until you scroll past it.
Speaker 2:The social dilemma. The social dilemma All right, I'll have to watch it. Yeah, the social dilemma.
Speaker 1:So anybody here, I'm watching, I'll watch it. Yeah, what are you saying?
Speaker 3:I'm watching this week. I'll watch it. They're saying how social media, the way it's designed, is very unethical because it's designed to keep you on as long as possible and I already know that.
Speaker 1:I hope you guys realize that there are times when I have it and I'm like you know what, I really don't need to have this right now and I put it down and I walk away from it and I'll forget my phone's not on that's why I, yeah, that's why I sometimes, well, that's why I don't post as much, because I try, I make it a forced habit, but for this, for us and
Speaker 1:that's why I gotta like you said, that's why I gotta find you have to be on there for long, yeah, but I find a lot of funny shit but because of that, like they, they, they're like oh well, we'll, just we'll.
Speaker 2:We'll let you guys put a voluntary time limit on they have have that, but like, who's going to do that?
Speaker 3:Who's going to use that? It's like I'm going to give myself two hours of Instagram a day, yeah, and set myself a time limit, like a parent. Yeah, no, you know, like, yeah, I was going to they did like, they did stuff like that, but like it's literally designed to keep you on as long as possible.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, because they do that. Now they're doing advertisements. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3:Now they're doing it knows how long you've looked at an advertisement too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, how many times you've looked at it?
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because and it's also set up with your like if you have Amazon.
Speaker 3:It knows by the scroll rate too, like if you're just if it's and stopped and kept going.
Speaker 2:it knows that how long you did that for and they based that off Like oh, it caught his attention, but not enough to click.
Speaker 3:But it caught his attention for a second Like.
Speaker 2:I went in on one that I had clicked for because I wanted to buy the wife something for her birthday, and I was like yo, this is freaking great. And I stopped. I read the reviews and I went on it. Dude, that was it when I went views and I went on it, dude. That was it when I went back the next day and I started just going through my ig. All that holy shit, bro. It just like it just kept giving me that same thing, right, that same product from different companies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's not what you want. Yeah, super, because they figure oh, he looked at this thing for that long. Yeah, we got to keep. You know, it doesn't mean it doesn't work that way. That's the algorithm. Yeah, I get it. That's just like you know, I I want to see other things, but things that are interesting, that are educational things that make me laugh cry, whatever it is you know, geek out.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. You know it's. The funny thing about Instagram, though, too, is, if you want to figure out like the algorithm, it's a funny thing To know what people are into.
Speaker 1:Just go to their search button page and it shows that whole like uh, the pictures screens with everything right and that shows everything that you're into right now right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's fucking weird. Yeah, yeah, but it's the same on anything, though, because even when we go on amazon, amazon is bringing up shit that you looked up from before you know you can go far, you can. You can find what you've ordered from yeah, from years ago I I got to go back and find some more shit to the head.
Speaker 1:Listen. I found someone else, this young lady, mckinnon Galloway. She's deaf, she had four brain surgeries, she's had chemo for 15 plus years. But she's another woman, another person who she does all these videos. She's hysterical. She's got woman, another person who she does all these videos. She's hysterical. She's got a great laugh and she talks about what's going on in her life and then she teaches you sign language at the same time, oh nice. Nice, which is really awesome, and she laughs at herself. You know, she says something and then she laughs at it.
Speaker 3:You know, and it's funny as hell, she gets a kick out of herself, which is great.
Speaker 2:That she gets a kick out of herself, which is great.
Speaker 1:That's funny, it's good. It's good. So it's someone else who has something that's going on. It's not always that case, but it's nice to see that? Yeah, definitely, because it kind of gives you kind of like well, come on, these people can do what they're doing. Right, you have no excuse really when you think about it. I'm with you, not that you. You may not have anything going on in your life, but you can overcome.
Speaker 1:But you know that means you can, you know just need to find it wherever it is, to get there, right? Yeah, no, but she's very funny, either tells a joke or she actually. I think she even taught you I'm not sure, but swear words, I think maybe.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm sure, bro, it was funny and the swear words aren't what I think. Oh, I'm sure, bro, it was funny and the swear words aren't what you think. It's not like the rub of the chin and throwing up the bird. That's not all the sign language she has.
Speaker 1:NF2 deaf, powerless. She's also a public speaker. Look at that, she's funny. She's got 297K followers, nice, nice.
Speaker 2:That's nice.
Speaker 1:We got to get her on for the young lady that we spoke about before.
Speaker 2:She has 10 million wow, holy, oh wait Blade yeah, dupree, she had Dupree yeah that's wild, that's cool as hell. Yeah, well, yeah, man, she's rocking it, man and how can she not?
Speaker 1:because I'm sure everybody else who sees it like I do because everybody I spoke to when I watched her now you know I don't mean to go back to her is that they feel the same way. I feel she's freaking hysterical. You wind up mimicking her because you're like that's funny, you know, and she also gets kind of like a kick out of herself too.
Speaker 1:She realizes, you know, but she can't help it you know, and it's like, oh okay, all right, you can't help it, you know. And it's like, oh okay, all right, you know like all righty, then yeah, but it's good to see. These are the kind of things that we're following on there. You know positive stuff, you know geeky stuff, funny stuff, uh, um, stuff from back in the day you know, um, anything, music, that's the shit man.
Speaker 1:You know the science, everything, I think, because, whatever I like, I put on there the last, the new vampire movie that just came out, which one was that Nosferatu yeah, tonya, and I saw it.
Speaker 2:Very good movie very good. Maybe they made him look like the older one.
Speaker 3:Oh my god he was scary, it was not. Yeah, it was creepy bro it was a good movie, so we follow some of the stuff on there too for them.
Speaker 1:You know they're on our instagram as well, so that kind of stuff because you know we got a large variety you know, yeah, you know we want to.
Speaker 2:We like a lot of shit we're a variety
Speaker 1:yeah, then that's why we want people to let us know, what we want to talk about, what we want to hear about and all that stuff. That being said, my friend, appreciate everybody being here.
