Mediocrity is Trending with Amanda Hirsch
41:34 Share

So are we supposed to start the podcast? Listen up, listener. We have a special guest in our pre-show today, and it is my favorite son, my soulmate, my companion like none other, Tubbers. Little Tubbers couldn't be separated from mama. He's in my lap, and he wanted to be on the podcast today.

And we have received some messages on the social media of people saying, I've had it with not seeing tubbers. And so today is their day. Yes. Yes. And, you know, we also have received some messages on social media claiming that you are the real star of the podcast. So in that vein, I'm going to let the real star tell us what she's had it with. What I've had it with...

is people filming themselves crying and posting it on the internet. It's unbelievable. Like I'm going to cry. I'm going to record myself and then I'm going to post it for sympathy. I mean, I cannot wrap my head around it. Are you getting this in your like for you feed? Like with the mukbang? I don't know. I think it just came up. I think it's TikTok. I think that was the offender.

And I'm just like, why is this happening? Who would do this? I mean, of course, they're exponentially younger, like 20s, young, young, maybe even younger than that. But then I've also seen specifically where Emily has sent me somebody that I know that's posted about herself crying. And I just, I've had it with that. There's no decorum or etiquette.

To me, that's such a, pardon the pun, cry for help. It's such a cry for attention. Yeah. I mean, that is so pathetic. It is so pathetic, especially when it's like, my boyfriend broke up with me, so now I'm going to record myself crying. Like, bitch, have some pride. I think people are just doing too many things on the internet.

Agree. There's just the oversharing is out of control. Agree. What about the people that are like crying and they're holding up like pieces of paper and it's like, I just, and then they do another page, found out.

My mom has breast cancer and they keep doing the pages when they could just speak, but they do it via, you know, like I've had it with that love actually where the guy does it. Yes. Now that's cute. That's adorable. And that's a movie and it's fiction and it never happened, but people are doing this on the internet, like, you know, to bring awareness to maybe an earthquake or hurricane and they're doing the cards and

It's too much. I just completely would not even watch till the end because I'm like, if you can't tell me within the first few seconds, I don't want to know. Right. If I have to go through 47 card changes. Right. To find out why you're upset. I also have seen where it's like, um,

I'm feeling really lonely today. If you could give me a shout out, that'd make me feel better. And I'm like, is that necessary to say you're feeling lonely and ask for random strangers to say hi? And does that help? Okay. Let's talk about this. Let's talk about when people just randomly post, like I'm going through a lot, pray for me. And that's all they tell you. Right. Right.

I think they're dying for you to direct message and ask. Tubby has left the podcast, everybody. No more Tubbs in the chair. Okay. When people post something super cryptic, like...

Everybody pray for my sister. She's going through a lot. See, I think that is just you are dying for somebody to reach out and say, oh my gosh, what's going on? Like your friends that have your number or people on direct message that you don't know. Well, the problem with that is, is when I see something like that, that I'm going to mutual friends, I'm clicking on the people that comment on that. I'm trying to figure out what happened.

And because you need to know. Right. Because they're putting it out there. And I think it's chicken shit to not just say what it is that's the problem. They're trying to control and make the attention last longer. Right. So they get more attention of, oh my gosh, what's wrong? Blah, blah, blah. Right. And all the comments are the same. You can do it or I'm with you. Just like stupid shit. Prayer warriors unite. I mean, it's just too much. I've had it. I've had it. And it's like if something's going on.

If it's super juicy, that's all the more reason if you're going to go to the internet, just go ahead and take it over the finish line. Take it over the finish line. Please pray for me. My husband, I just busted my husband with a bunch of cocaine and a prostitute. Then I'm like, okay, thank you so much for landing the plane and for not being cryptic about this because now we all know what the fuck is going on and that frees up the rest of my day because

And I don't have to, you know, deep dive into Facebook or Instagram or whatever it is to figure out what the hell's going on. Yeah. I think those kind of posts are designed to keep people asking what the problem is. Right. I mean, I think it's a total and complete attention seeking behavior. It just amazes me how much people feel like they need to share online with other people. Like crying. I mean, that's the number one example. It is amazing.

Too much. It is too much. It's too much. I mean, I only cry maybe like once a year. Right. And I'm dead serious. I mean, I'm not a crier either. I just, it takes a lot for me to cry. The last thing I'm going to think about when I'm crying is filming it. Getting a phone and filming it, making sure I look cute. I mean, that is ridiculous. It's bananas. It's bananas. Let me tell you what I've had it with. All right. I've had it.

With this racket. And it is a total fucking scam perpetrated on the American public every single day. And it is breaking news. Oh my gosh. I hate. It's not breaking if you've been talking about it for five hours. And it's abused. It is abused. So much that I'm so desensitized. Right. From what breaking news actually is. Agree. And all of the news channels do it. Yep. And everything is breaking news. Right. And it's not breaking news. Right.

No. There's nothing breaking about it because like when I get up in the morning, I would turn it on. And then that night I would turn on the news. They're still saying breaking news. And it's like, we've had 12 hours. I think. It cannot still be breaking news. I'll get an alert on my phone and it says breaking news. And I don't even really look at it anymore because I know it's a blowhard event. Right. It's a total blowhard event that is a nothing burger. Right. I,

I absolutely could not agree more. I do think that CNN got a bunch of backlash on always having the breaking news and supposedly they're better, but I don't know because I don't watch them anymore. No, I only watch the BBC and it's only breaking if it's major. Right. It's breaking if a war starts or it's breaking if somebody dies. Right. Or a presidential election is called. Right. Right. It is not breaking if...

For a week. Donald Trump sends a 3 a.m. tweet. I mean, that was just- That's not breaking news. Like breathing oxygen. Right. You know, it just was not breaking news. And so, I mean, I am just up to my eyeballs with the American news system. So, I want to welcome everybody to I've Had It podcast. And I am a minor supporting player in this podcast. I'm Jennifer. The real star is Angie. Yes.

Hi, I'm Angie. Why are you acting that way? That was two comments. The real star is Angie. We call her Pumps. This is I've Had It podcast. A podcast where you can visit twice weekly and get all the shit off your chest so that when you go back out into the real world, you're nicer and calmer and ready. You can get all your bitches out. Yes. And know that you are amongst your people. This is a dump truck.

truck of petty grievances via a mass therapy session. Because one thing that we oppose fundamentally is the statement, you can find positivity in everything. Oh my gosh, ridiculous. There are some things that are so insufferable. The only option you have is to get with friends and bitch about it. And bitch. And that is therapeutic. 100%.

Oh my gosh, I have a story I haven't even told you. What is it? Okay, so I went to a deal at my youngest school. Okay. They had a speaker that was talking about being congenial and high character. And she starts going into, when I go to the grocery store, I always ask,

the checker how their day's going. I asked the bagger how their day's going. I chat with the people in front of me and behind me in the grocery line. And the whole time I'm breaking out in high school and please never let me have to go to the grocery store with her. This is like classic, not taking into account the feelings of the checker, the bagger, none of them and the people in line. And she thinks, you know what she is? She's a bragger.

do-gooder. She's... And assuming that everybody wants her to ask them how they are, they don't. And that she's doing them a favor by doing so. This is faux do-gooder shit. Faux do-gooder. This is faux do-gooder shit.

And she is a problem, a huge problem for every grocery store that she enters. Like she's like the person you want to avoid in a grocery store. The last thing I want somebody to do when I'm in line at the checkout counter is to turn around and chit chat with me. I can't imagine anything worse. And I'll tell you what would be worse. I just imagined it.

If you're in a hurry, you're trying to get your groceries checked and she's yak mouthing with the checker about something no one cares about and you're waiting on her to be quote unquote congenial. With her fake. And courteous. Fake do-gooder shit. Fake do-gooder. I wanted to stand up in the middle of the auditorium and go, bitch, nobody wants to talk to you.

But I didn't. Right. Because I am the beacon of the high red. I think it is an immediate red flag when somebody tells you what a great fucking person they are based on their behavior in a grocery store. You know, like that is an immediate, you know, she's fucked up.

And I can't believe that somebody would think that this person should be a public speaker. Right. You know, like, let me tell you, kids, here's the trick to life. Be nice to people in grocery stores. Here's my problem with that. That's a given. Be nice to everybody. You should not have to tell people to be nice to people in grocery stores because that should be your default setting. Right. Right.

It should also be your default setting not to start chit-chatting and hold up the line and do all that nonsense in a grocery store. You can very kindly look at the checker and say, hey, how's it going? Right. Well, they're scanning your items. Scan your card. Have a great day. Move on down the road. Have a good one. That's a good one. Have a good one. Right. Have a great week. Well, today we're going to have a guest and-

This guest is going to talk to us about pop culture and all of the fuckery that's going on on Instagram and TikTok. So let's go ahead and bring out Amanda Hirsch. Hello. Hi. Hello, Amanda. We would like to welcome you to I've Had It podcast. How are you? I'm good. Thank you for having me. Thank you for coming on. We're so excited to learn pop culture stuff.

I'm excited. I loved the concept of your pod. I was like, I've had it with so much shit. It's a minefield of had its. I mean, there is just so much shit that happens when you go out and

on the internet, in public, to an airport, it's a minefield of fuckery that can go down. And we consider this place a holy place where you can come and dump all of this stuff out in a very therapeutic way so that when you have to go back out into the world again, you're kinder and lighter and a better person having done this dump truck of petty grievances with us.

I love it. And so does that mean you don't get people who are like, you know, annoying about things you complain about? Like people don't tell you that you're, you know, privileged and that you're complaining about things? Oh, yeah, we get all kinds of stuff, like on TikTok and everything. Let me ask you this, Amanda. I was the most hated woman on TikTok because I'm like women, adult women that baby talk are ridiculous.

I mean, huge backlash. What's your position on women that baby talk? Wait, to a baby or like to a grown up? To an adult. To another adult. Not a pet. Not a pet or a baby. I'm fine with baby talk with a pet or a baby. But like, I don't think that men and women need to talk in baby talk.

Oh my God. And you got real backlash. No, this is why I need to stay away from TikTok. I have a feeling it's not the place for me. And I have been, you know, like old people that don't want to like conform to the times and like stay with their Nokia phones. And like, that's me. I feel like I'm like, TikTok is just, I don't get it. It doesn't get me. Like I just signed up like a week ago.

My algorithm still doesn't get me. It's showing me women putting on concealer. I'm like, why does it think...

That this is what I want to see. Like, and everyone's like the algorithm will get you. And I'm like, it's not getting me. So what do I think? I think it's creepy. I am not into it. I don't even think you made me think if I baby talk my baby and I don't even think I baby talk my baby. Right. Well, let's get to what you have had it with. And I think that you just tapped into it, which is this.

makeup tutorials which we've kind of had it with acronyms too but I'm going to teach you a new one it's the GRWM Amanda I'm gonna let you take it from here

Teach the old lady what this is. I don't even know what that is. I feel like this is really a safe space for me. So it's get ready with me. It took me forever to even have the, you know, motivation and the, you know, to care enough to Google it. Because at first I was like groomed. Like I didn't get what it meant. I don't get what it means.

And I had a friend came on my podcast. She said she thought it meant like grown woman, like an acronym. So for some reason I was saying about my algorithm and I feel like a lot of these people that get famous on TikTok, part of what they do is just like, so it used to be a makeup tutorial. It used to be like, okay, this is what I use. You know, if you're a fucking idiot and don't know how to apply mascara, here I'm showing you. So I,

That alone, stupid. I've had it. Right. The new thing. So everyone's hopping on this trend is like they put the headband. So it's either the headband with like little ears to be cute or it's like these clips. Oh, my God. I have them right here. Oh, I know exactly. No, these clips. Yes. Yes. These clips. I had to get them. See how fucking influence. I don't even know what to do with them.

they're supposed to like just make your hair go away from your face to like put on makeup or whatever. So now it's like these people are doing the same thing, but they're talking to you. Right. About random shit. Right. Like trauma, you know, not about the makeup. Right. So it's not cool anymore. It's passe to talk about what you're doing and be like, this is my concealer. This is my, you know, eye shadow. Now it's like,

So this guy was, you know, dating and people are fucking into it. So that's all that's popping up for me. Lots of concealer. I was also influenced. They all use Kosas. So I bought it. Immediately you ran out and got them.

Immediately. Yeah, I have. It's not like I ran out. It's like I need this because apparently people just wear concealer all day everywhere. Like I don't even know you put on your chin. Oh, I didn't know that. Here's my deal with this, Amanda. I don't want to get ready with me. No, I don't either. So the last thing I want to fucking do is an invite Instagram or TikTok to get ready with me. My husband brings me coffee every morning and I spend time with my adorable French bulldogs.

I do Wordle. I do some other puzzles that you end up doing when you hit, you know, 40s, late 40s-ish. And then I'm like, God, I don't want to get out of the bed and get in the shower. I'm like dreading the getting ready part because the fluffing in the bed is so fucking good. So then I finally go to get ready and then my husband will start talking to me and he's

he's like a total metrosexual. Like he has these serums, the sea salt spray. He's totally into it. He could put any gay man to shame. RuPaul, he could put him to shame. He would be 100% into it. And he starts staring at me and I'm like, I'm ready for him to leave so I can just get ready by myself. The thought of putting a camera on me while I'm getting ready, that's no. That's an immediate no. But secondly, to start airing out

It's too much. That nobody cares about. And here's what bothers me is clearly people do care. Right. What these nitwits are saying. So that's the problem with society. They're feeding these stray cats. They're feeding stray cats. And you know what happens when you feed a stray cat? That motherfucker comes back for more food. Oh, here's another thing about the GRWM. They're always in a rush and don't have time.

So they'll sit down, they'll put the clips, they'll put the headband. They'll be like, I have to go to this wedding. I have five minutes to get ready. GRWM with me. I think they say the whole thing. I think they're like, get ready with me to go to the Shabbat mitzvah. I'm,

you know, I have five minutes, like let's do it. And I guess like the more rushed they are, the better views it gets. I don't know. They're always in a rush. They never have the time. The reason I gave button Mitzvah as an example, ladies is because I actually watched a 12 year old get ready for a bit. And that is a new low personal low. I imagine her. And you know why though, on many levels, but one of the levels is because her routine, like, um,

much more expansive than my routine. And her products...

And everything this fucking 12 year old has with the three minutes she has left to get ready before her mom drives her to a bat mitzvah. I mean, I can't, I can't, I'm getting hot. Like I can't, it's a wild world out there. And like, I am so grateful that I didn't have that when I was 12, that I was just like focusing on like, you know, which boys like me in the class and like writing in my journal. Cause like what?

what I have been like, these are monsters. You know what I think this is? This is belabored one hit wonders. That's what this is. You know, you have a one hit wonder song and everybody knows it and it's a banger, you know, and it can come out decade after decade and everybody's into it. Well, this generation, they hit one viral TikTok video or one Instagram and that should be it. It should be their one hit wonder.

But people start feeding those cats, those stray cats, and they keep going back for more and more. And they're really boring, one-dimensional people because I think putting on makeup is

Really uninteresting. I agree. Now, if the girl was putting on makeup talking about, oh, my God, I did a threesome the other night. I was so fucked up on cocaine. I'm in. Right. I might be way more interested. I'm watching the whole makeup video. I mean, at least if you're going to do the let me refer to my notes here, the GRWM.

Put some juice with that thing. Right. Maybe there is a niche for that, though. I don't know. Maybe there are GRWMs that are like raunchy, you know, that are more raunchy than my bat mitzvah one. I have a friend. She's also a podcaster and she says it like it is. And she said to me, we were talking about this phenomenon.

And she was like, Amanda, I think mediocrity is trending. A hundred percent. That is a great point. That is. It was like, I think people, and she has a whole philosophy. Like she wants to write a thesis. She was like, I think people want to feel better about themselves. So they watch mediocre people. Cause like, imagine like we're watching like Hollywood movies. Like I want it to be, you know, like Julia Roberts, you know, like,

but that didn't make me feel good about myself. Maybe it makes you feel better to aspire to be someone who ain't that...

that amazing. That's attainable. Right. Right. Like I can be just like the girl that got 500,000 views that put concealer on. Right. And then went to the coffee shop. Those are two goals that I can achieve today. Right. I can buy concealer. I can go get coffee. I've also had it with the photographs of the goddamn coffees. We've seen it. It's not new. And every time anybody goes to the coffee shop, they're Instagramming it. Like I got coffee and I'm like,

Okay. That's just being a person. Like you're just a human that went and got a beverage enough with posting about it. Cause everyone thinks that everyone wants to know their coffee order. Yeah.

You know what was so great? And by the way, I want to make it very clear. I am part of this. I think people want to know my, I want to make it very clear that I'm a giant hypocrite because, because I can post my coffee and then people will be like, I'll get a few messages being like winning an honor and then I'll fucking share it. I'll be like, okay guys, I'm really into get this almond milk lattes. I know it's groundbreaking, but.

But let me tell you, changed my life. Don't you love things that change people's lives that don't actually change lives? Like nothing has ever changed my life. Like I'm not going to take a probiotic and it's going to change my life. Right. Like stop telling me change your life because like nothing has changed my life. The only thing that changes one's life is a child. Is a child. Yes. Yeah. A baby changes everything aside from that. Yeah.

Can't say that any that lemon water or fucking anything changed my life. Right. I don't want to hear that it changed yours. Cause like, what am I doing then? If nothing changes mine. So Amanda, I have, I want to play a little game of would you rather. Okay. Okay. So the first one is, would you rather G R W M. And let me refer to my notes again. Get, would you rather get ready with me?

Five days a week, three hours each session on your Instagram with enthusiasm. You cannot deadpan it like you do. I've seen your Instagram videos where you deadpan the shit and it's great. I mean, your delivery is excellent. You have to do it. So what I'm doing first and you then go into personal stories and you have to be sincere about it. Five days, Monday through Friday.

Or every Christmas for the rest of your life with your family, post yourselves in matching Christmas pajamas on the internet. Okay. I'm going to do the five. Get ready with me. Cause that's like, I don't want to do it for the rest of my life. Every Christmas I posted something making fun of that. Cause I was just kind of like, who made this up? Like who was like,

this is a thing we do and now everyone fucking does it and you have to see everyone's you know photo with matching pajamas um and and everyone laughed and then there are people that are like like you know the people defending it it's like are you really gonna defend it like even if you do it you can make fun of yourself a hundred percent doing something that is you know the word chugi isn't really cool anymore do you know what chugi means no it's

It's just like so basic, so vanilla, so whatever. And I'm not saying I could never be caught in matching pajamas, but I'm just saying I could do not want it as a yearly tradition. I think it's cute as like a one time maybe thing, but now people do it every year and it's like they feel like it's a necessary part of

of their holiday. I will tell you, I this year, I succumbed because I see pictures. I see people's Christmas cards with their matching pajamas. And I think, oh my gosh, that's so cute. So I did it this year. But I'm with you. I mean, it's kind of dorky, especially because my kids are almost all grown. This is the problem with with you get sucked in and you feel like the asshole mom that's not doing the matching pajamas. That's what happened with me on National Sunday.

son. Like I have a son and everybody's posting their son. And I'm like, well, God damn, I better post a picture of my son. Yes. I totally fell prey to the entire internet racket of the entire thing. But I'm going to tell you something I've had it with, with Christmas and this needs to end our snail mail Christmas cards, right? I don't know why we have them anymore. Everybody has seen what everybody is doing on the internet for the entire past year.

And so back in the day, like in the late 90s and early 2000s, there wasn't social media. So you really looked forward to seeing the card and the image of the family. Now you know what everybody looks like. And then I'll hear somebody saying,

Well, you know, I'm not going to post this picture until after my Christmas card goes out. I'm like, I'll tell you what, sis, I bet everybody's fucking chomping at the bit, stalking their mailbox going fucking bananas waiting for that hot piece of photo to come in. I'm

And like, what do you really think? They know what you look like. They've seen your stories. They've seen you get coffee. They've seen you do yoga. They've seen you drop your kids off at school. They've seen it all. And now all of a sudden they're rolling out. Look at this new material. Our new Christmas card. Put a sock in it. Everybody knows. You know what's the worst? Like that you'll get it from like your lawyer, like people that you work with. It's like, love you, but like.

Needeth me this card? No. And then what do you do? Like throw it out? That also feels like mean. I always save it. No, I've struggled with that forever. I have. I know people that in

inventory every year's Christmas card, like in a photo album. And they go back through over the years. And I'm like, I just throw mine away. Their friends Christmas cards? Yes. Inventorium? Well, I mean, put them in a photo album, like a normal photo album. They'll put all the Christmas cards they receive in there for all these years. So they have like 20 years worth of other people's Christmas cards.

Which I always feel bad. Like I need to throw them away. And then I end up throwing them away. I throw them away immediately. Unless the card is about me, I don't want it. Exactly. If it's like a whole essay about how amazing I am, I'm going to save that card in a box. And put it on the refrigerator even maybe. Yeah. But I don't need like, you know, your story or your well wishes, you know? Yeah.

Listener, for this episode of I've Had It, we've partnered with eHarmony, the dating app to find someone you can be yourself with. Pops, what's going on out there on the dating apps? It's unbelievable how many people try to be something they're not on dating apps.

And what I love about eHarmony is it's real people for real relationships. You heard her, listener. That's why we've partnered with eHarmony because dating on eHarmony is different. eHarmony knows that to find something real, eHarmony is designed to help you bring out your personality on your profile with their unique personality test. They

They even highlight similarities with your potential matches. And that's when the magic happens. When you form genuine connections and authenticity leads to intimacy. Listener, give eHarmony a shot and get started with their compatibility quiz so you can find someone you can be yourself with. eHarmony, get who gets you.

Okay, let me ask you another one. Would you rather do the get ready with me five days enthusiasm sincerely? No deadpan humor, Amanda. None of that. I mean, you have to be into it. Or go to Burning Man from start to finish. Sleep in the tent. No electricity. And you have to... How did you know? How did you know this? How did you know?

Because how did you know I wasn't a Burning Man gal? We've already done two episodes about how we've had it with Burning Man. I, you know, the Burning Man people are like so pathetically into Burning Man. It's like it's their whole personality. Yes, we know. I just went to lunch somewhere.

And the owner of the restaurant came to talk to us and he was a Burning Man guy. It's like they managed to bring up Burning Man in everyday conversation. I was like eating hummus. And how did Burning Man come up? I don't know. But he started talking about it. Wouldn't shut the fuck up. I even like made it very obvious. I was like, I hate it. Like I would never be caught dead at Burning Man. It's not for me. And he was trying to like convince me, no, you have this kind of camp and this kind of camp. And there are...

I'm like, you think the art is going to get me there? No, and that's the thing. They want everybody to be converted. It's like evangelical Christians, you know, where they want everybody to be saved. It's similar with the burners. They want everybody to go to Burning Man. It's wild. We've had it with Burning Man so much. No, no, I've had it. We have a t-shirt on our website that says Boycott Burning Man on our I've Had It podcast. We'll send you one.

Oh my God. Boycott burning man. I'm going to go back to the hummus. I'm going to go back to the hummus plays with the owner and wear it. Yes. No, I agree with you. I'm on your team, but it's, isn't it really nice though? Like I realized that we're negative and we don't like a lot of things.

But it's really nice to just know that you'll never be convinced to like something. Right. Like, I feel so confident that I'm never going to want to go skydiving. Like, it's really nice to like know that, you know, be like, right, never in my life. So wow, get ready with me or Burning Man. I'm gonna I'm gonna fucking get ready with the same story. Yeah, you know what I would do if I was single and I was on a dating app? That would be one of my filtering questions. Yeah.

You know, like, are you into Burning Man? Yes. Now. Right. Yeah. It'd be an immediate cutoff mark. Yeah. Like swipe left. Okay. So now we're going to play another game. Kylie is going to read.

Pumps and I are not good at pop culture and we have been deep diving in your Instagram and you have got this shit on lockdown. So she's going to read a quote and then we're going to guess which celebrity said it. You're probably going to win. Okay. Because we don't know. Come here from Sikkim. That's what they say in Oklahoma. We don't know. Come here from Sikkim and pop culture, but we're going to try. Wait, are you in Oklahoma? We're in Oklahoma city. Oh my God. I know. Oklahoma city, Oklahoma. Fly over state. Okay.

Okay, here goes Kylie. Who said, I get to go to lots of overseas places like Canada? Sarah Palin. Wrong. Christina Aguilera. Wrong. Britney Spears. Correct. Yes. Oh, that's such a Britney thing to say. Yes. I'm so bad at this game. I know. I thought you'd be a lot better. Follow me for up-to-date news. Okay.

Who said, I don't know if this is too much, but I can actually mentally give myself an orgasm. Oh, fuck. Oh, my gosh. Taylor Swift? Oh, Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga can give herself an orgasm. No, she can't. No, she can't. That would be a trick, though, wouldn't it? Okay, there's one final thing I want to talk to you about.

In my deep dive of your Instagram, you did a complete autopsy of Emily in Paris. And what I loved about this, because the whole hypocrisy thing that you say you have, we have too. I mean, we totally have that. We can flip on a dime about certain shit. Right.

But you tell your followers how much you dislike Emily in Paris and then go into detail, which proves that you have seen Emily in Paris all the way over the finish line. Let me tell you what I think about Emily in Paris. I watched every bit of it. It's stupid. It's vapid.

It's so unrealistic and I couldn't get enough of it. And then when it's over, I feel this like subtle depression because I'm never going to be in my twenties and have that wardrobe fucking hot men in Paris. That ship has sailed completely sell. And so I kind of get sad. But you know what you should feel better about? It's like, it's not like it's hot.

You know, that's one of the things I said, like there wasn't any chemistry between any of them. You know, it was like they weren't even opening their mouth for like a kiss. It was like I remember like Emily and Alfie just like and they're hot and open your mouth a little bit. You know, that's what I want to see. You know, you want to see a French kiss in France. You're in. Exactly. You're in Paris. And like Gabriel. Yeah.

that hot man couldn't he be like more into women for a minute you know yes you have emily like just also like make out make out and i just feel like no one was was passionately making out the sexiest one is the french boss

Love her. The old, the French ex. She was the sexiest one. So if you watched the real, I think I say there, like, I want to watch Sylvie in Paris. Yes. You know? Yes. That would be cool. Like she is just, she's doing it. She's smoking the cigs. Yes. She's having the young, uh, hot husband that she's not really her husband, whatever she's doing. Like she dresses so French. Yeah. And I don't know, Lily Collins kind of gets on my nerves sometimes. Oh my God. I don't know.

Somebody following Instagram wrote this. Emily, Emily Paris needs to get Botox. And like, that was also distracting because like, I'm, I, I,

I just got vo-dux for the first time like a few months ago and up until then I was very like everyone be natural and like you don't need it and blah blah blah. Some people need it. Right. You know and sometimes it could be distracting like Emily from Emily in Paris like that note spoke to me because I think I was focusing on her forehead.

The entire season. Right. Very expressive. Let me tell you both how bad this is. So yesterday I went to get Botox and I had let about four and a half months pass. So I go and the doctor's looking at my forehead. She's like, oh, there's this new thing. It's like this heat treatment thing. I want to sign you up for it. It's like a natural way to produce collagen. And so I can book you for that like in a month. But today we're going to get onto that Botox because you really need it. Yeah.

And I just died. But I mean, it'll start kicking in like tomorrow, the next day. But Botox is the best. It takes longer to kick in nowadays. I have Botox next week. I'm desperate for it. I'm usually like, I don't like needles and I get like anxious about like procedures, but I was like flying. I was flying. It was so cool. It didn't hurt. It was like such a positive experience. So I flipped, like hardcore flipped on Botox. Totally.

Yeah. And also I just don't feel like it like maybe like filler changes you and people go overboard and look weird. I do have filler in my lips. She does. She is an offender. She calls me daffy pumps. Well, she swings by the studio because we like to read our hate comments for like Instagram content. They're hilarious.

And so she swings by. And the great thing about pumps is her give a fuck meter is broken and has been broken for years and years. She could give two shits what anybody thinks. And her lip is swollen up. I mean, it is so swollen. And I go, how are we supposed to do? She goes, oh, I don't give a fuck. That's just it. Her lips are all, I don't give a fuck. That's just right. The hate comments. I don't care. And I am crying laughing because she looks like a duck.

It was fantastic. Oh, my God. I love it. Amanda, we thank you so much for joining us on I've had a podcast. I hope you feel better and lighter.

Two days later, I totally did it. Right. Which is us. A hundred percent is us. Love that. Half the shit that we've had it with, we're offenders. A hundred percent. Like you started with the grocery store thing and I can totally see you start yakking with somebody in front of you in line. I've actually been to Target with you and you'll start, oh my God, are you buying that book? I just read that book. That book is so good. I read it in two days on the beach. You know, we went here. I probably do do that, but I feel like it's not premeditated.

I'm not walking into Target thinking I'm going to chat up the person behind me. Right. Right. It's just, you know. Right. I am kind of a chatter. You are. A little bit chatty. You are. You are a little chatterbox. I've got one more quote that I want to give to you. Okay. See if we know it. Yeah. I don't think she could find her own ass with both hands and a flashlight. Oh, that's me. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah.

That was easy. Well, I'll tell you who is the originator of that is Linda Martis, my mother. Linda has got some sayings. Yeah, she definitely, definitely has some sayings. The one I wrote down for pumps. Anybody want to give me a pelvic exam? When did I say that? It's on the internet. It's on the show. You say that shit all the time. See, I don't remember half the shit I say. I don't even know when it's coming out of my mouth that I'm saying it. It's kind of diarrhea of the mouth city over here. Do you remember this one?

I need to go smoke right now because I don't want to get unaddicted. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So I stand by that when I was a smoker. Back in the day, Pumps and I both smoked. Our kids were super little. There was this giant ice storm. And she's like, hey, come over.

And we had these fucking mink coats. And I don't know why on earth we had these mink coats. No, we were at the club. No, but this day we wore them during the day. Okay. Because it was like, it was an ice storm. And I don't know why in our 30s we had old lady mink coats. But we fucking had these brown old lady mink coats that we both had. And it's so cold outside. We're like, okay, let's wear the minks. They are warm. So we both had the minks.

We go outside and pumps is like, I'm certain I have the flu. And she has like 102 fever. And I'm like, are you sure you want to smoke? And you're like, it's the last thing I want to do right now. But I can't be not addicted to cigarettes. I got to push through. So she pushed through the flu. Yes.

with a cigarette in the mink coats and how dorky were we running around with the mink coats i'll still wear a mink coat like to a football game if it's cold and snowy i have no shame at all i remember we were at some party at the country club we went outside in our mink coats and we were lighting up cigs hiding from everybody and you go well look at us out here in our mink coats i remember that
