"I love these videos. I love that. Same form of video. Because it's like wired the magazine, which is a print magazine, and also a digital online publication. They do really good work, too. They put a celebrity on camera. It's like a stark white background. And the celebrity is forced to hold a posterboard cutout of a Google search, and it's like full of all these kind of incomplete questions that are covered up by a piece of paper. And then the celebrity has to do this sort of like humiliating little funny ritual. Where they rip off the white paper to reveal what the rest of the commonly searched questions are about them. Yeah. I dance. Is there a video of you dancing? On the Internet? I don't know, but I realized that I didn't exercise, but I would go out, dancing. And that was my exercising. And if you drink Pedro Pascal dancing, I love that that's like one of the first things that comes up from a Google autocomplete search. Google's like, oh, you want to see this guy dance. I know you do. It's so obvious. And this video of Pedro and Oscar is truly one of my favorite things on the Internet. I have watched it so many times. I've put it in our thirst channel so many times. It's garnered over 10 million views since it was published in March 2019. And I would say at least a thousand of those are for me alone. And it deserves more. It's so fun and I think kind of gets the heart of what will eventually endear pages of the whole world, which is he just seems like a fun guy to hang around with. Oh my God, yeah. There's also a great moment in that video where it's like, who does patriot Pascal look like, which is a very weird thing that's so clear, some person was like, this guy looks like someone, but who was it? And Pedro says like, one time I got Tarantino and also a baby chicken. What? I don't know. But it's cute. And he's like laughing at himself in a very charming way. Yes, yes. I feel like a lot of actors are super self serious. Austin butler. Oh my God. Don't tell natira. Don't tell nadir. Tiny dear. It's just impossible to imagine what they'd be like at a dive bar. Just hanging out. And to be clear, actors don't owe us that. I was familiarity. I don't need to know what Austin butler is hanging out at a dive bar. But maybe because Pedro's fame art came a bit later in his life when he was more comfortable with who he is, or maybe just because that's the kind of person he is, but he always just comes across as someone who's having fun. Just having fun doing this job, not taking a super seriously. And it's infectious to watch. It really is. I also think he's kind of bewildered by the fact that he's so successful now. And it's just he's so delighted that it's finally happened for himself. I think if you were like withering away on the various laws and orders would also be so thrilled that somebody was asking you to do something different and something more ambitious. Yeah, yeah. Which takes us back to the timeline, which is, I think, the real moment where he ascended into everybody's home because we've got The Mandalorian, which started airing in 2019 and introduced the world both to baby Yoda, I am aware of not actually baby Yoda. Please no one tell me. I know. And also introduce the world to Pedro Pascal as The Mandalorian who is a bounty hunter who's basically put in charge of said baby Yoda. And if there's anything the world loves, it's a gruff man who's now responsible for a child. More on that later. Oh yeah. Yeah. But I have to admit, I haven't seen The Mandalorian. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, though my family is, but from what I understand, it's like a pretty good show. Yeah, it's definitely one of those series that got like random American families to be like, all right, I guess I'll add this to my monthly Bill. Exactly. I'll finally get Disney+. I was like, okay. Fine. With my arm. It's like really striking for me that he really starts to gain or continues to gain international recognition in a role where he is almost constantly wearing a helmet. You don't really see his face for most of the show. Which seems almost antithetical to thirst, but then I think about people like anonymous YouTuber corpse husband who has the horniest fans in the world. Despite the fact that the only thing we know about corpse husband or what we know of what he looks like is his voice. Yeah. I mean, it's podcaster thing, too, is that people will fall in love with just your voice. And there's like a whole thing. I don't know if you've gotten those emails, but I have not. I doubt anyone was falling in love with my voice. That'd be wild. But voice first is real. I will say, totally. And I think in an interview somewhere, he's even said that The Mandalorian voice is like kind of a bedroom voice, which is like, and this Disney show. Uh oh. But also, I mean, the helmet is pretty sexy. It's very sleek. He looks good. Anything can be sexy if the voice is also sexy. That is true. That is true. And importantly, Star Wars is yet another franchise with like a huge legacy audience, much like Game of Thrones. So as the years go by, Pedro is becoming more and more of, if not like a household name, at least like a household face or people are like, who does this guy look like? Exactly. Exactly. Between narcos, Game of Thrones, and The Mandalorian, I would venture that most people who watch a fair amount of television have seen him in something that he is starring in. Sure. And that doesn't even include Wonder Woman 1984. Another thing that he starred in that I unfortunately saw. We can't go there. We can't go there, but it introduced him to more and more audiences so that by the time we get to the moment where we're currently at, most people recognize him, they would think, oh yeah. Yeah. I know him. Which means by the time the last was premieres in January 2023, he's primed and ready. And now so are all of us. We're going to be toasted. Golden brown. Ready for a little bit of butter. Exactly. So we've laid the groundwork for the Pedro Pascal renaissance. And now it's time to get into the thing that has firmly catapulted him into a new level of fame and Internet thirst. After a short break, we'll be talking about the last of us, about hot ones, and about what it means to become the Internet's daddy. Whoo. Hey y'all, I wanted to say a quick hello to our Spotify listeners. Thank you for being here.

"Hey everybody, it's Tim heidecker. You know me Tim and Eric bridesmaids and Fantastic Four. I'd like to personally invite you to listen to office hours live with me and my co hosts DJ Doug pound. Hello and Vic Berger. Howdy. Every week we bring you laughs fun games and lots of other surprises. It's live. We take your Zoom calls. We love having fun, excuse me. Songs. Vic said something. Music. I like having fun. I like to act. I like to repeat people who can make me laugh. Please subscribe. No. Ariana does it concern you knowing that Tom cheated on Kristin a few times? Hi, I'm Rachel Hampton, and I'm tipsy Sarawak and you're listening to I see why am I in case you missed it? Slate's podcast about Internet culture. And today I am joined by dippy who has a podcast called pop culture prisoner where she covers pretty much any reality television show that interests her. She is a reality TV scholar of fellow intellectual of the reality television universe. Which means I'm sure some of y'all can guess where this is going. But before we get into that hello, welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Rachel for having me on. I am beyond excited. To talk about what we're about to talk about. I am just so glad that you're here. I feel like I say that all the time, but I truly have no idea what is happening. Usually I actually have a few questions asked, but I guess host to kind of get us warmed up. But to be quite honest, I don't even have the patience for that. We just need to get into what is going on. We need to get into it, yeah. And that it, they were referring to is scandal. Before we explain what that is, dimpy keen take me back to the moment you first heard about scandal, like put me in your shoes, paint a picture, like, 'cause you've been, you've been pretty invested since this broke, right? Yeah, like literally 99.8% of my brain has been devoted to this since last Friday afternoon when my friend Hailey texted one of my bravo threads with this article by TMZ saying what the scandal was. It wasn't called skin of all at that point. Skin of all came quickly, thereafter, but I read this headline and I actually didn't believe it. I thought it was smart. I didn't look that it was TMZ, but TMZ sounds like smut, but they're actually really vet their stories. But I was just like, this is so preposterous that my response was, eh, this is stupid. I don't believe it. And then it dawned on me pretty quickly that this is real. And I went into shock, literally. I was just like, and then there went my weekend. And ensuing week. It's almost the weak anniversary of finding out. And I say that part and like laughing, but it's also, I am heartbroken. Truly genuinely. So, yeah. It's been very intense. You know? I can only imagine I don't feel like I've had a scandal like this break in one of my fandoms in a while. And so I'm really, I have a lot of sympathy for you. And everything that you're going through. Can I tell you one quick thing? My sister, who does not watch bravo, but she knows I love bravo, I was trying to explain it to her and like a succinctly as possible, knowing I'd lose her pretty quickly in the conversation. And basically came to the conclusion, if you're a Game of Thrones watcher, this is red wedding level. Wow. That's a phenomenal analogy. Well, before we go any further, I feel like we do have to actually say what we're talking about. At some point. So scandal is the nickname that has been given to the drama that has come out over the past week about some cast members of the bravo reality show Vanderpump rules, which is in and of itself a spin off of another bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. If you're already in any way connected to the bravo fandom, you are probably invested in some way. I am mostly a Potomac girly, a Real Housewives Potomac early, which means that my Twitter timeline knows enough to surface a lot of tweets about what's going on because a lot of people I follow also care about this. But I don't know what's happening except for the fact that it's a really big deal. Huge. There's this tweet from at malls that says, hashtag scandal has been trending for 6 days. I can't remember something that trended this long since Trump was in office. I would say try guys trended for that long, but I understand what people mean. Yeah, well, let me tell you one thing that my friend Jen just sent a little while ago. A new episode just aired last Wednesday, a Vanderpump rules like post the scandal of it all. So the Instagram account bravo by betcha, they wrote raw in this clown card together. And this is what it says. Thinking about how we've all spent the last week with our brains entirely devoted to a show whose most recent episode was titled love struck at the disco pussy. It's like, yes, that's where we're at. We're all in this cloud car together. We sure like it's just, we're obsessed. I mean, there's just something so, I don't know, affirming about being in a clown car with a bunch of other people together. You're like, you know what? You delusional weirdos. You understand me, 'cause I too am a delusional weirdo. And that, that's fraternity. Sad as you know. And you know what? We're also in good company. We bravo has especially Vanderpump rules heads. Love to tell people, we're not the only ones who watch it Rihanna is invested in Vanderpump rules. Kaley Cuoco is Jennifer Lawrence is. There is a Yale professor named roxane gay. You might know her. She is. Oh, I'm aware. Oh yeah, like she's amazing. She is obsessed with Vanderpump rules. It is a phenomenon. And this is before scandal. This is, it's been a phenomenon the past ten years. And that is what we are talking about today. Is this phenomenon by popular demand and by popular demand? I mean, mostly my demand because I need to know if there's drama I need to know what's going on. It's just my personality. Today, we're going to break down all the Vanderpump rules drama. We're going to give you, you know, scandal one O one. So you can understand all the tweets. All the memes, all the tiktoks. We're going to make sure that if you are upset or someone who's only seen the headlines or someone who's just in a separate Real Housewives fandom, you're going to know what's happening at the end of this episode because on its surface, it sounds like kind of standard reality television drama, but I should you not, my social media feeds have been putting it on the level of do you remember where you were when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift?

I am mostly a Potomac girly, a Real Housewives Potomac early, which means that my Twitter timeline knows enough to surface a lot of tweets about what's going on because a lot of people I follow also care about this. But I don't know what's happening except for the fact that it's a really big deal. Huge. There's this tweet from at malls that says, hashtag scandal has been trending for 6 days. I can't remember something that trended this long since Trump was in office. I would say try guys trended for that long, but I understand what people mean. Yeah, well, let me tell you one thing that my friend Jen just sent a little while ago. A new episode just aired last Wednesday, a Vanderpump rules like post the scandal of it all. So the Instagram account bravo by betcha, they wrote raw in this clown card together. And this is what it says. Thinking about how we've all spent the last week with our brains entirely devoted to a show whose most recent episode was titled love struck at the disco pussy. It's like, yes, that's where we're at. We're all in this cloud car together. We sure like it's just, we're obsessed. I mean, there's just something so, I don't know, affirming about being in a clown car with a bunch of other people together. You're like, you know what? You delusional weirdos. You understand me, 'cause I too am a delusional weirdo. And that, that's fraternity. Sad as you know. And you know what? We're also in good company. We bravo has especially Vanderpump rules heads. Love to tell people, we're not the only ones who watch it Rihanna is invested in Vanderpump rules. Kaley Cuoco is Jennifer Lawrence is. There is a Yale professor named roxane gay. You might know her. She is. Oh, I'm aware. Oh yeah, like she's amazing. She is obsessed with Vanderpump rules. It is a phenomenon. And this is before scandal. This is, it's been a phenomenon the past ten years. And that is what we are talking about today. Is this phenomenon by popular demand and by popular demand? I mean, mostly my demand because I need to know if there's drama I need to know what's going on. It's just my personality. Today, we're going to break down all the Vanderpump rules drama. We're going to give you, you know, scandal one O one. So you can understand all the tweets. All the memes, all the tiktoks. We're going to make sure that if you are upset or someone who's only seen the headlines or someone who's just in a separate Real Housewives fandom, you're going to know what's happening at the end of this episode because on its surface, it sounds like kind of standard reality television drama, but I should you not, my social media feeds have been putting it on the level of do you remember where you were when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift?

"The following message comes from LucasFilm and Disney+, presenting an all new season of The Mandalorian. The global phenomenon returns and is streaming this Wednesday. Witness The Mandalorian as he explores the galaxy, crossing paths with old allies and new enemies, with the foundling grogu at his side. The new season of The Mandalorian is streaming this Wednesday, only on Disney+. The only reason why I'm not playing this game is because we know that it's not worth it to get bullied endlessly and call transphobic endlessly. Hi, I'm Rachel Hampton. And I'm keto Jackson and you're listening to I see why am I. In case you missed it, slate's podcast about Internet culture. And today I am joined once again by Gita Jackson Peter hello. How are you? I'm doing surprisingly well, actually, it's an unusual Lee warm day in New York yet again. It is. It is, it is, it's giving apocalypse vibes, but I will enjoy the apocalypse as it's happening. I know. I know exactly what you mean. It's been a few months since the last time you were on the show explaining Twitch to me, which was truly one of the most helpful things that has ever been done in the world. Thank you for your public service. No problem. So how have you been? Because your recent tweets, I follow you on Twitter, obviously, suggests that you have been having a time. Yeah, you know, the Internet is not always the most pleasant place for black femmes. As we both are very aware. And recently, it's become even more unpleasant for me personally. But I'm a strong person. I will persevere. Before we get into why exactly you've been having a time, though. I didn't ask you first came on the most important question on this podcast, which is, what is your first Internet memory? So my dad breaks an IT, so he brought back the Internet to our House when I was pretty young, like ten years old. And I think my first real memory of using it as an independent person rather than my dad showing off this new tech toy that he brought home from the office was arguing with a shippers on a Digimon forum at age 12. Beautiful. Beautiful. It's also lovely to know that you've never changed. Pretty much. Yeah, you know? There's a picture of me as a baby, like gazing in awe at a computer screen. And it's like, this is where it all started. That's where the worms infested my brain. And now you're like, this is my villain origin story. The minute you put me in front of a computer or parents, you shouldn't go. You're like, I will be arguing online. So I mean, speaking of childhood memories, we have both mentioned to each other that we were Harry Potter children growing up. And so I'm curious to whether you remember the first time you encountered Harry James Potter. Is that his middle name? I think his middle name is James, yes. Okay, there we go. So I, my family, Friends, threes when they took a trip to England to see their son and when they came back, they were like, everybody in England is reading this book, and we got the third one in the series for you. And it's not out in America yet. So I read the third Harry Potter book, which is still by far my favorite of all of them. When I was like 11 and it was like every other child across the world, it was over for me, you know? Ended up being a huge part of my adolescence and I went from arguing with shippers on a Digimon for him to argue with shippers on live journal. I had a somewhat similar awakening to the Harry Potter lifestyle. They were at first banned in my household because my mother grew up in a hyper religious household. And was like, this is witchcraft and therefore it's of the devil. And so my older brother, who's four years older than me, was not allowed to read it, which was really terrible for him. So my granddad, my dad's father. It was just like, I'm gonna buy this boy a book. So he buys him the first Harry Potter book, like behind my mother's back. And it was basically over from there. And then somehow, in the intervening years, my mother has become a huge Harry Potter fan to the point that she watched that Harry Potter trivia game show and tried to get me to watch it. And I was just like, the person that watched that. We found the one person who watched it. And it was my mother. And I'm like, look at how far we've come. From it being witchcraft from the devil to you being like, I guess. I know this trivia. I'm proud of her. That's gross. That is gross. So Harry Potter's mouth family activity, or it was a family activity. Yeah, it's gone through some stages. I think Harry Potter is a thing that exists. We're at a new stage now. We are at a hugely different stage, not least, because there's a new work in the canon. There's something else has been added. It's things are constantly being added. But this time, it's a video game, and it's Hogwarts legacy. And it has had the Internet. In uproar. Yeah, so Hogwarts legacy is a video game. There's an open world video game, meaning it takes place on Hogwarts castle in the surrounding areas and then you can explore all these different areas and all parts of the castle. And it came out last month, and if you haven't been paying attention to the game, then you might have maybe have noticed that discussions around the game, even when it comes to sort of Twitch streamers who might play it, has become incredibly toxic on Twitch. It's been a huge source of controversy basically every week. There's a new person who's getting harassed or bullied for playing the Harry Potter game. Most notably, I think, Hassan piker, who we've discussed last time we were talking about Twitch. He came under fire for explaining why he wasn't going to play the game because he said it was quote unquote not worth it to get yelled at, which I think most things are not worth getting yelled at, so more power to you. Trans people and their allies have been speaking out about playing the game or acting as free advertisement on Twitch because of J. K. Rowling's anti trans rhetoric. Most recently, she has gone after a referendum on gender laws in Scotland that would have allowed trans people to self ID and change their gender on their identification documents without having to go through a huge amount of rigmarole and she wore a T-shirt with the first minister of Scotland. It was Nicholas sturgeon that said, Nicholas sturgeon definition destroyer of woman's rights. So I don't think she could make her position any more clear. And now it's become to this sort of head where if you even discuss the game at all, you will be inundated with people either people who want you to play the game to own the libs or people who desperately do not want you to play the game because of its connection to J. K. Rowling. So I had the pleasure of reviewing this game and I have a lot of things to say about it. I'm so glad that you're here. We're going to talk all

And you're listening to ICWA mi. Slate's podcast about Internet culture. That is correct. The bestie of the past laces Mendes the second is here with me. The voice of hello. Hello. Thank you for having me back. Literally any time. Tell me what's going on with you. I feel like you've been doing some big things since the last time you were on the show. I mean, you were on none other than CNN. I was, I sat right next to Don lemon. It was a learning experience. It was really fun. And I would love to do it again. Yes. Okay. It's funny because I've learned over the past two years that you're a solid foot and a half taller than me, but I still, whenever I see you do things, I feel very like maternally proud. I'm like, that's my son. Thanks, mom. I appreciate it. Well, that's enough cute shit. I have two very important questions for you. Neither of which have to do with Jesus. Unfortunately. I'm gonna ask even even more important question, which is what is your relationship to one Selena Marie Gomez? I always get excited when you guys ask me to come back because obviously love this show, it's great and amazing. But I got a, I wouldn't say threatening DM from the producer Daniel that pulled up one of my tweets from 2014. That was me fawning over the heart wants what it wants by Selena Gomez, saying that it was so good. And he was like, well, you'll have a chance to explain whatever this is. Not my salina tweet. I was like, I don't remember doing that. So I guess? I guess I was a fan. And I guess I do like Selena Gomez. I don't remember the first time that I remember seeing her, but I think it probably was somewhere within the Disney canon, you know? Princess protection program will go with that. Yeah. It was extremely funny having those tweets read to us in a production meeting. Was there more than one? There was more than one. Moving on. Oh my God. I have to go back and delete some of my old tweets. Control Selena. Exactly. So my second question is, how do you pronounce the term for those notifications that you get that tell you whether someone has seen your message? How do you say that? It will determine whether or not you come on the show again. Okay. I would say red receipts. Oh my God. Well, if someone read your message, it gives you a receipt. No. Wouldn't you say? We're not doing this. We're not doing this. Every single time someone says red receipts they're like, it's because you read the message. And I'm like, I don't care about your fucking logic. It's read receipts. That's just what it is. To some. And I'm going to stand with the forgotten Madison on this one and say that it's red. Well, thank you for coming on for the last time. I appreciate it. I have to stand in what I know, okay? And in my heart of hearts, it's red, and I'll say it. Listen, this is the hill you want to die on, that's fine. But again. Song. Wow.

The way you set that made me think. Of jesus christ being born into the world. And i don't think this child is quite reaching that level. But yeah you know another little. Sussex are they still duke and duchess. I don't understand what happened with the senior when they seceded from the royal family. Who kept what we are. Of course talking about a child of prince harry and meghan markle a new baby girl named lilibet diana lilibet being the childhood nickname of queen elizabeth and diana being. You know who i mean. This name is very much giving me tutor vibes giving me war of the roses. Giving me lancaster like lil a really. We're reaching back through time. I think it's a very sweet tribute. i also feel. As though it is a fan fiction name dreamt up from like the epilogue of harry potter some alba's severance energy named jk rowling herself. The fabulous names are better than the ones. Jk rowling came up with. Let's be real here. None of them. Because the epilogue is not real we do not recognize it and daniel radcliffe. Wrote harry potter. These are facts. I accept this new form of history. That's enough about the royals until the next season of the crown at least for me on today's show whoever we're gonna be talking about another infamous family. That's right. We hear on icy. Why am i finally going to talk about the paul brothers jake and logan despite on your show where they still on your as a note. This does mean we're also going to be discussing suicide allegations of sexual assault domestic abuse so feel free to skip this episode. If any of those topics are too sensitive for you we totally get it but as you can tell by that. Long list of sugar warnings. Paul one and paul to the brothers. Paul are they're controversial is perhaps one way to describe them. Yeah that's definitely one way. We'll probably come up with a few more before. The show's over there. They're also two of youtube biggest stars and the platform by allowing them to be two of its biggest ours have tacitly endorsed. Some of their more unsavory taste less horrifying antics which have been a constant source of conversation. Since the brothers emerged influencers seen back in like twenty fourteen. The olden days yield two thousand fourteen over the weekend. The brothers paul made headlines again specifically logan. Paul who collaborated with Another completely uncontroversial figure in his own right. None other been floyd mayweather. There's nothing going on with that man. There's no controversy. No no logan. Palm went eight rounds with floyd mayweather in a widely televised boxing match. Very widely publicized has been publicized since march. One of the biggest things that happen in boxing. And you know if you were sitting there wondering how did this vine star go from making kind of dumped six videos to stepping into the ring with the unbeaten champion. Well we're here to tell you and we're also here to tell you what it says about the nature of internet fame that none of logan paul's various and manifold misteps in the past have stopped his meteoric rise bridge. I don't know if you know this about me. But i am uniquely and darkly qualified to have this conversation. I did know this about you. And i am very glad that you were here to take me through this ride. Because to be completely one hundred percent honest with you and our icy wind my listeners. I have largely ignored the paul since immersion onto the scene i saw the antics i saw videos. I saw all the various headline. Though we're like the latest logan paul controversy explained and i was like you know what i only have room in my heart for like four controversial people and none of them are the paul brothers. So i don't know what's going on with them. That's really fair. I have spent easily five years on the paul brothers. Beat i have been known to refer to myself as an anthropologist madison. Every you test my patients. We're going to get into the who. What where when. And why of the paul brothers but i feel like to to help center i wanna i want to talk about the time. I went to jake paul pop up seventeen. He had like a pop up store in new york city. What why did you go what. They're i dare how hatton was like west thirty seventh street oh of course It was in december. It was absolutely free. Just stood outside in line all day with people namely like little kids and their parents who had come from all over the country like from the midwest and from texas like all over the country with no guarantee that they were going to see a paul brother like the only promise was the only promise was that you could purchase their merch. Can you describe the crowd for me like you said. Children like what is the demographic makeup. I've never quite understood like what their audience is actually made up of. Is it mostly teens. These were a ton of children like. Let's say an not even teens as maybe too old like possibly like preteen nine to thirteen feels like that was like the big chunk of kids who took off school to stand in line. I just feel like that helped. Establish the cult of personality that surrounds the men. Were going to get into today. I feel like you establishing how young has audiences not just on his for me has only made everything they were gonna talk about even more horrifying. Because if there's anything. I know about the pa brothers. It's that perhaps children shouldn't be watching them all right. So who are the paul brothers. That's really. I think where we have to begin. Logan jake paul. Our social media stars influencers. They came up on vine so they originally started out as viner's doing raucous pranks outlandish comedy. Put them scare quotes around comedy. Who you're going to homecoming with. Nobody do you want to go to home depot with tauzin just showing them aboard jerome stupid white weatherford as with almost all internet celebrities. Come out of nowhere. These guys are traditionally attractive. Blonde haired blue eyed maybe. I've never checked that closely. They're very muscular. They're aggressively heterosexual in. They establish themselves as vine is back in. The era of vine are fine. I mean that's interesting about kind of vine fame. Is that the people. Alice falling on vine raleigh black teens. But i was fully kind of aware of this other genre because the thing is what black kids doing on. The app was actually funny. What people like. Logan and jake paul were doing. I was just like.
ICYMI
"rachel hampton" Discussed on ICYMI
"Tiktok is for some reason. Absolutely convinced that i wanna see videos of people breaking their bones in horrible accident. Hi i'm madison malone karcher and i'm rachel hampton and you're listening to is in case you missed it. Flits podcasts about internet culture rachel. They changed the voice of tiktok robot. Lady and i'm distressed. Why i don't like change but also had this happen a lawsuit as as all things. It was what spurred by lawsuit. Why was she suing. Why would you not want to be the voice of two i. would you wanna be the voice of tiktok. I would love to be the voice of tiktok. All the shit that i presumably would be saying. It just feel like it'd be so funny. The tr here is that tiktok has changed the voice on its text to speech feature because an actor who was the original voice filed a lawsuit against Take talks parent company bytedance claiming that she had never agreed to be the voice of tiktok and she won. Yeah i mean. I'm i'm surprised that she went and also that didn't think to put like a clause in the contract. That says you will be avoid. Synthetic todd by tiktok. How how would we describe her voice when you kind of think of siri but with less but it also doesn't know how to pronounced specific words so sometimes it'll just like completely mispronounce like slaying which is also very funny. The new robot voice is similar but a little more chipper tiktok apparently replaced their unethical voice sample with whoever this don't know her. She's to animated and pronounces words correctly. I can tell it's an a either but it's a little uncanny valley and it still does the mispronunciation thing. Although i saw tiktok of somebody who tested out a bunch of like hate speech using the robot voice and said that she sounded a little too excited. Oh no oh my gosh but do you think they told this lady that she's going to be live the voice of tiktok or we're going to have another lawsuit and a few weeks. I'm certain she's fully aware to honestly. I is a little too specific for my tastes like the calls coming from inside the house. It's like it's no longer a for you page. It is a rachel. Wake the fuck up bitch. Page the other day i got a tick tock of a guy who's ranking the top five things to exist except the answer was only biggles and i was like wow bagels. What a great tiktok for me. But then but then but then couple days later i get served another tug of someone who has stitched with that original tiktok. This is where you merge talk with the other so it's bagel guy and it's somebody else doing the top things to ever exist and the answer was boobs and i was just like wow. I'm i'm being. How being italian you found you. They've been listening to you. I mean see you try to tell me that tiktok and instagram weren't listening to us. And i feel like you were coming onto my side. Perhaps no i'm not zillion data back to reasons why these algorithms are so specific and it does not involve listening in on my conversations. It involves them listening to us. Yes no thank you. Yes no Mitchell has no No yeah the nsa. We have little guy in our folks. Can you imagine what our say guy thinks about us. He's probably like who the fuck are these bitches and why are they always talking about this. Random shit bagels and boobs. I really hope we haven't. Nsa woman you know they. They probably don't they're like no. She's too biased to to tell us that they're actually like plotting statecraft. We are actually been every episode backwards. And you'll know where to meet it. But that's that's the allure of tiktok right is of the algorithm that bytedance has built. Its engineered to just like spit out content based on things you click what you comment on people you follow and it's kind of alarming in a way in that sometimes you're like i'm just investigating trend. I don't actually want to see this on my for you page or sometimes you are actively trying to change your page and the algorithms just doesn't respond and so it's it's entirely unclear what the incentives are because on one level. Even if you like keep skipping past of you still get served some of that content or if you don't like it but maybe like watched it all the way through and like gaming. The program has become just part of the language of tiktok today on the show though. We're actually going to talk about moments where the simulation glitches so when tiktok s algorithm gets it wrong and it thinks it knows something about you. That is just not about you for me. It is that tiktok is convinced. One hundred percent hand on a bible believes that i am a former mormon. I guess there's also potentially tiktok believes present. Mormon who wants to become a former mormon but at any rate it believes. I am a mormon. And i keep getting served all of these tiktok about under like the hashtag like x. mo- former cult member and i am just now so up to speed on like ceilings in the temple and like the let's say interesting garments that mormons wear during their like temple weddings. Normally your base layer would be your temple garments or your magic underwear. I don't have those. I violently threw them into the garbage can but like in a respectful way. I just. I don't know how tiktok became so convinced that this is what i want to see or maybe like who i am like i. Perhaps they don't think i'm a mormon. Maybe they think. I'm in some other colt that i need to get out of not that you are an colt. You're in a call me. I just called mormonism a cult. But i am being served. Those people believe that they left the cult. That is mormonism. According to them in my case for some reason. I'm just seeing a lot of marvel content to the like just just to make it clear evanston a marvel movies since black panther and i have nothing against the marvel. Religion also jimmy coal. But i just don't care. And the thing is i also haven't seen most of the clips. This is coming from so. I did actually wanna watch like in game. I've already been spoiled on most of what's going on in that movie. I don't care. Take it away. I would rather be stuck on ex-mormon tiktok so this isn't just a rachel and me problem. We promise and just in case you didn't believe us. We asked our listeners. The squad i see. Why am i guys. Let the name fandom. Because we get used some not. It's definitely not i see why am i gonna. Let's just let's just nip that one in the bud. Lakota liked about. I'm so sorry. We're naming our fandom guys gender-neutral. They're like our guys but good okay. Anyway we asked are yet to be unnamed group of fans are your fans are yet to be fulfilled.
