I can't wait to see how this goes. It's

0:20

the social dose. The social dose

0:22

is your go to podcast for a gorgeous dose

0:25

of what's going on in the world of social media brought

0:27

to you now every Tuesday and Thursday. Today

0:29

is Tuesday, July 11th and I am Paris

0:31

Nicholson at Paris Nicholson on socials.

0:34

And I'm Michael Judson-Berry at M Judson-Berry

0:36

on socials. And now let's get into

0:39

these headlines. Today a

0:41

PSA to all men. Keep it

0:43

in your drafts. The boyfriends were wilding

0:45

this weekend, which proposes the question.

0:48

What about keeping some thoughts on the inside?

0:51

Then a thread about threads. The new

0:53

meta app launched last Thursday and everyone

0:55

is coming over from Twitter. Well, everyone

0:58

minus Elon Musk. And

1:00

finally, we get a listener letter from Steve

1:02

in New Jersey. So you besties can hear Michael's

1:05

New Jersey accent. Yeah, yeah. All

1:07

this breaking social media news and more coming

1:09

up next on the social dose.

1:15

Not

1:18

yeah, yeah. Who

1:22

are you? That

1:26

was beautiful. Thank you. All

1:28

this breaking social media news and more coming

1:30

up next on the social dose. We'll get right

1:32

back into our timelines after this brief little

1:34

message from our sponsors.

1:39

And now it's over. Welcome back, Michaela. Thank

1:41

you Paris. Hi, how's it going? Hi,

1:43

I'm great. How are you? Oh, I am fabulous.

1:46

I hear you're a little sticky these days. Yes. I'm

1:49

going to show you how to do it. I'm going to show you how to do it. I'm going

1:51

to show you how

1:52

to do it. I'm going to show you how to do it. I'm going to show you how

1:54

to do it. I'm going to show you how to do it. I've actually done it on many places

1:56

on my body, including my face. And

1:58

what they don't tell you is on the face.

1:59

it turns your little stubbles into

2:02

Velcro and you're not allowed to shave them for

2:04

seven days. So literally any knit

2:06

pieces, any socks, they're just

2:09

sticking to my chin.

2:11

And I'm like, what is this life? I'm paying you

2:13

so I don't have this and now you've made it worse for

2:15

a week. But I'm thinking

2:17

big picture here. There you go. And I

2:19

recently got Botox in my forehead so I can't lift my eyebrows.

2:22

So we're doing well. We

2:25

really are just trying to maintain these

2:27

old bodies. I have no

2:29

expression. You're sticking to socks. We're doing

2:31

well. Now, you know who else is doing well? Who?

2:35

All white people over the age of 40 that

2:37

work in Hollywood. Yes. So

2:40

there was a photo posted this week from

2:43

Kristen Annabelle, who I'm pretty sure is just

2:45

the actress Kristen Bell, of

2:47

like a big huge feast

2:50

of maybe like 30 people or so. I can't

2:52

count. But they are math. All

2:55

white. They are all of the same age

2:57

demographic. And I think job demographic.

2:59

And it is a very homogenized group

3:01

of people. And the internet couldn't help

3:03

but drag them for it.

3:05

Michael, have you seen this? Oh, yes. I

3:08

love this. And I love that she captioned it,

3:10

Idaho chapter one. As

3:12

if like, what's the rest? What's

3:14

chapter two going to be? But it's all this like.

3:16

Yeah, if this is chapter one, I'm not finishing the book. But

3:19

we are our fabulous social scientists

3:22

dove into this. And it's hard to see all the faces because

3:25

honestly, there are so many sitting along this

3:27

one very long dinner table in this picturesque

3:30

like Valley in Idaho. But they managed

3:32

to find Kristen Bell, obviously, Dax

3:34

Shepard, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, John

3:36

Milaney, Olivia Munn, Courtney Cox, Jimmy

3:38

Fallon, Adam Scott. You get the gist. Like,

3:42

it's I don't see half of these people.

3:44

Oh, no. If you look really carefully, they're like, Adam

3:46

Scott's in the back. He's a little blurry. Jennifer

3:49

Aniston looks a little confused. But I think

3:51

because she also just got Botox. And honestly,

3:53

I only have that expression too. So I

3:55

don't really blame her for that one. But it's

3:58

giving where's Waldo. Where's Waldo?

3:59

your favorite like washed up 90s celeb.

4:03

For real, what are some of the reactions to this though

4:05

that you've seen?

4:06

Oh, I do see Adam Scott now, sorry. Yeah,

4:08

he's there.

4:09

Mostly people kind of just criticizing them for being

4:12

like all white, cause that's always unsettling.

4:15

Whenever you just see a photo and it's only white people

4:17

in a large group, it's like, what's going on

4:19

there? I personally get a little scared when I see that.

4:22

Or if I enter a space and it's like, everyone's

4:24

white, I'm like, I don't belong here. What's

4:26

happening? What convention did I stumble

4:29

upon? How did I end up in this pottery

4:31

barn ad from 1996? Honestly,

4:34

yeah. Oh man, even the color scheme,

4:36

they're all wearing shades of like gray, blue and beige.

4:39

Like- It gives cold. It gives, what was that show

4:41

Nicole Kidman did that nobody watched that was like culty?

4:44

The one where she wore the bad wig.

4:46

Sorry, that doesn't narrow it down. That doesn't narrow

4:48

it down at all. So I say that with all

4:50

the love for Nicole Kidman, I really do love her. And

4:53

most of her wigs are good, we can say, but some

4:55

of them aren't. I don't know, but it reminds

4:57

me of like a weird culty retreat where like,

4:59

maybe they're all doing ayahuasca or like,

5:01

maybe it's a sex party. I don't know, but I

5:04

do not want to be invited. Oh man.

5:06

Okay, well, luckily for us, I don't think

5:08

we're going to be invited to chapter two, but I'm really

5:10

curious to see what it's going to be. All

5:13

right, shall we get into our stories Paris? I think

5:15

we shall.

5:18

This is a PSA to all boys,

5:20

men and males online who are about

5:23

to comment on a woman's body.

5:25

Don't do it Diva. It makes you

5:27

look like an asshole. And speaking of assholes,

5:29

Kiki Palmer should be allowed to post hers

5:31

if she feels like it. We've learned to expect body

5:33

shaming comments from trolls, but from our own boyfriends,

5:36

what the fuck? Yes, exactly. If

5:39

you have not seen this, Kiki Palmer went to

5:41

an Usher concert last week and

5:43

a video from R&D underscore

5:46

radar went viral of the singer

5:48

serenading Palmer. Kiki's boyfriend,

5:51

not even husband mind you, commented on the

5:53

video and said, it's the outfit though,

5:55

you a mom. And

5:58

everyone was like, whoa. What?

6:01

Because A, she looks stunning.

6:04

She's wearing like, I mean,

6:06

it looks like sort of a black, it's like

6:08

a black sheer dress with like

6:10

little dots on it. And then like a black

6:12

sort of like body thing underneath. Like that looks like

6:15

a very high-end black bathing suit, honestly. It's

6:18

the same cut as a bathing suit. Nothing inappropriate.

6:21

She and her hair looks amazing, her makeup's flawless.

6:23

She looks gorgeous. So. And

6:26

we have to say the cheeks are out, but the cheeks

6:28

are cheeking and they look incredible and it's part

6:30

of what makes the look so good. Yes. Like,

6:33

but I think that's specifically what set him off, but literally I

6:35

saw this on my feed and I was like disgusted.

6:38

Cause

6:40

one, I have been a Kiki Palmer fan since

6:42

True Jackson VP. That was like one of my favorite shows. And

6:45

I have like a sort of protective

6:49

feeling towards her. I'm like, she needs to be saved

6:51

at all costs. She's such a star to me. She's such

6:53

a hard worker, just like a quality person

6:55

and like one of my favorite celebrities. So

6:57

to know that the man who fathered her child would

7:00

do this, I'm like, Kiki, no, I need

7:02

to save you from this relationship. But as

7:04

it turns out, Kiki doesn't need me at all

7:07

because the internet dragged

7:09

this man plenty well enough. Oh

7:11

yeah. But then he felt the need to respond on Twitter

7:14

when he said, we live in a generation where

7:16

a man of the family doesn't want the wife and

7:18

mother to his

7:19

kids to showcase booty cheeks to please

7:21

others. And he gets told how much of a hater

7:23

he is. This is my family and my

7:26

representation. I have standards and morals

7:28

to what I believe. I rest my case. It

7:32

sounds so

7:33

grossly male misogynistic,

7:35

all those words. It's just like, dude,

7:38

what century do you live in?

7:40

And it's also like, here's the thing. You

7:42

can absolutely be

7:44

the person who doesn't want the wife

7:46

and mother of your kids to showcase booty cheeks, blah,

7:48

blah, blah, blah. Also claiming that she did it to please

7:51

others absolutely falls. You've almost

7:53

never done anything to please others and that's something I love about her.

7:56

And he gets told how much of a hater is. Sorry, sir, you

7:59

also live in a world.

7:59

where you can speak your honest opinion and

8:02

then deal with the consequences of having that opinion.

8:05

If you can't handle the heat, shut the fuck up. You

8:07

know what I mean? Yeah, like, this just brings

8:10

up, I saw a friend of mine

8:12

wrote this one woman show about she

8:14

froze her eggs and had like this crazy experience where

8:16

she was going through all the, you know, the hormone process

8:19

of, you know, all of that. And she

8:21

wrote this, she had this epiphany that Jesus was a woman.

8:24

And it's this amazing, very funny, but

8:26

like really thought provoking play. And I saw

8:28

it with five women

8:29

yesterday. And then we all went out and had drinks after.

8:32

And we really got into this deep talk about how in

8:34

society, so many women are stuck in one

8:36

camp or the other, where they're like, marry the whore

8:39

or like marry the virgin. And it's

8:41

so, we still live in a world

8:43

where men, A, men grow up thinking they

8:45

look like God. So there's that. But

8:47

literally they see pictures of God in any religion. They're like,

8:50

oh, he looks like me. But yeah,

8:52

they're like still forced to be one or the other. And

8:54

this, then I saw this and I was like, ugh, there

8:56

it is again. Why can't she be super hot and

8:58

sexy and show like an own

9:00

that, but then also still be a great mom and still

9:03

be

9:04

all of those things. Like, blah. Men need

9:06

to calm down. And the truth is she absolutely can. Yes.

9:08

And he can't handle it. So he's gotta go. Yes.

9:11

Now, obviously Kiki Palmer isn't gonna just

9:13

sit idly by. So what she did

9:16

is she responded, not directly, but

9:18

indirectly, which I think is the best way to do so. And

9:20

she said this on Twitter. One thing is certain

9:23

and one thing is true. I'm a mother

9:25

through and through. I'm a mother

9:28

and Stevie to the bullshit shirts available now at

9:30

shopkikipalmer.com. I said, listen,

9:33

you better

9:34

cut that check, Kiki. Every

9:36

single thing she does is a brilliant business move.

9:38

She's like, listen, I also agree. He's

9:40

an asshole for this. And we're probably like, she's

9:43

not necessarily making a statement about

9:45

where they're at or what this means for their relationship

9:47

moving forward. Cause like not necessarily any of our

9:49

business, but she is getting her

9:51

point across very clearly with this, which

9:53

I love so much. And then she's

9:55

there holding her baby. It's like, yes,

9:58

yeah. You can be.

9:59

a sexy, gorgeous woman owning your body and still

10:02

be a fabulous mother. Oh. I

10:04

also saw that Darius posted a shirtless pic

10:06

on Instagram and one of the users

10:08

commented. They said it was a user at

10:11

sweetcaramel77 who said, Darius,

10:13

you are a father. I'm like,

10:15

listen. Yes, because it's seriously, it's

10:17

such a thought. He pictures him sitting on his bed in his

10:20

underwear, taking a mirror selfie,

10:22

showing a hoe. Yeah, I

10:24

mean, not gonna lie, he looks great. Like, he's

10:26

kind of kiki. Yeah, of course. And sort of kiki.

10:29

Yeah, I mean, I see. But also, I just

10:31

love. The double standard is double standard. I just love getting

10:33

trolled. You're a father. Mm-hmm. Like,

10:36

anybody gives a shit, sir. I did

10:39

see a video on TikTok from

10:41

user atRachJackson, where

10:43

she kind of talks about just like, why are

10:45

all these men

10:47

getting with bad girls? Like, baddies, not

10:49

bad girls, but like, getting with girls that are like, confident,

10:52

sexy, owning it, and like, really boss

10:54

women, and then

10:56

upset or shocked when they realize that they're

10:58

with a woman like that. Like, what did

11:00

you think you were gonna do, change her into like a small

11:02

Mormon housewife? What was the plan here,

11:04

men? It's the same, I saw a friend last night

11:06

who was a very successful author, and she was like,

11:08

I keep going on dates with men who say I love strong, successful

11:11

women, but then they don't like that she makes a lot of money.

11:13

And it's just like. Yeah, they don't like strong, successful women.

11:15

They want to say that they do, or maybe they think they

11:18

do, but the lie detector determined that

11:20

you couldn't handle it, you little bitch. Ew. Speaking

11:23

of little bitches that can't handle it, did you see the stuff about Jonah

11:25

Hill? Yes. I'm

11:28

sick, I'm sick this week. Okay,

11:31

tell our friends at home what happened if they have not seen this.

11:33

Okay, Jonah Hill's ex-girlfriend

11:35

is like a hot surfer girl named Sarah Brady,

11:38

and she kind of just exposed him and put him on blast

11:40

via her Instagram stories this week, showing

11:43

screenshots

11:43

of basically him being like very controlling,

11:46

trying to like, set boundaries

11:48

with her. Like, he's very much, and this

11:51

is the particularly insidious thing, he's using

11:53

like therapy language and like

11:55

language that should be used to do

11:58

healthy things. to push

12:00

his own agenda of like controlling this woman

12:02

and determining what she can do. He said things

12:06

that he doesn't want her to do include posting sexual pictures,

12:08

friendships with women who are in unstable places

12:11

and from your wild recent past,

12:14

surfing with men, which she's

12:16

a surfer. Yeah, she's a professional surfer.

12:19

So you can't expect her to not surf

12:21

with men. What is

12:23

in your brain besides worms?

12:25

Yeah.

12:27

And it's just like, I don't know. I always

12:29

found Jonah Hill very unappealing.

12:32

And this just like, nail in the coffin on

12:34

that one. I was like, oh, and you're a dick to your

12:37

hot girlfriend who you should like be glad

12:39

this girl's dating you. I'm glad

12:41

she exposed him because he's recently been having like, I

12:43

don't know, sort of like a little bit of a rebranding type of

12:45

thing, or maybe like a little bit of a Renaissance type of

12:47

thing in his career where people were kind of coming

12:49

back around to him, I don't really know. But

12:52

seeing this, I'm like, no, you're done. You have always

12:54

been garbage to me and you are that girl that I knew

12:56

you were Jonah

12:57

Hill. Also, his advice

12:59

to her, like his rules to her were riddled with typos.

13:01

So also bro, like check your messages before you hit.

13:04

Learn to read.

13:04

But Michael, have you seen all the gays that have been like

13:07

sharing just this? Because so

13:09

specifically he texted like a long ass

13:11

message that had that list of things

13:13

that he doesn't want her to do. And all the

13:15

gays are posting it. And they're like, this is my ideal

13:17

summer plans. Surfing

13:21

with men, boundaryless, inappropriate

13:23

friendships with men, modeling, hosting

13:26

pictures in a bathing suit. And

13:28

I'm like, this is a great summer. This is a perfect summer. This is like what

13:30

I wrote in my 1999 diary of

13:32

all the things I want to do this summer. Oh my

13:34

God. Well, thank you, Jonah Hill for this fabulous

13:37

advice on how to be a better gay this summer.

13:39

I'm tired.

13:42

Oh my God. Move the men underground

13:45

and use them for semen and semen alone. I've

13:47

always said that.

13:48

With that, we'll be back after these quick messages.

13:51

Summer means a lot of things. And

13:53

at Pop Culture Happy Hour, we love a gay.

14:00

binge-worthy show, a movie that gets us to theaters,

14:02

or the arrival of a fresh album. The

14:04

dramas, the comedies, the dishy stories, here

14:07

are a guide to what's making us happy this summer and

14:09

where you can find it all on the Pop Culture Happy

14:11

Hour podcast from NPR.

14:15

Hello, I'm Tig Notaro, and despite

14:17

my request that you stop asking

14:20

me questions, here we are again. We're

14:22

back with new episodes of Don't

14:24

Ask Tig, where my guests and I

14:27

field your questions every week. This

14:29

season we get advice from Kristen

14:31

Bell, Cheryl Lee Ralph, Randy

14:34

Jackson, and so many more.

14:37

I can't promise it's good advice, but we will

14:39

always try our best. Listen

14:41

to Don't Ask Tig wherever

14:43

you get podcasts.

14:47

And we're back. The

14:49

king is dead. Long

14:52

live the king. You're

14:55

welcome, Barret. Yes, threads

14:57

is officially live, and many

14:59

people are defecting from Twitter to

15:01

the doppelganger platform. However,

15:04

not everyone is excited to

15:06

hop on this new thread. Twitter

15:08

is threatening to sue meta for misappropriation

15:11

of intellectual property. Whoo, those

15:13

are big words. Now we like to argue

15:15

here at The Social Dose that there wasn't

15:17

a single brain cell left on Twitter,

15:19

let alone any intellect, so I don't

15:21

think they have much of a case. Paris with more.

15:24

That's right, Michael. This has been a

15:26

wild ride. So after the first 48

15:29

hours of it launching, the app already had 70

15:31

million downloads, making it one of the fastest

15:33

downloaded apps ever. Some

15:36

things that we love about the app is that it's a new

15:38

platform and an escape from the cesspool that Twitter

15:40

became, and it's fairly easy to use

15:42

and user-friendly, and it's easy to post on. Things

15:45

that we don't love, there's like no

15:47

trending content section, you can't look stuff

15:49

up by keywords, you can't delete

15:51

the account once you make it unless you want to delete your Instagram

15:53

too. It's not a finished

15:55

product, it's a product that we all jumped onto

15:58

and we're like, yay,

15:59

Okay, well, it's definitely missing some features

16:02

we need. Yeah, they're still figuring it out.

16:04

I actually saw today, Mark Zuckerberg shared

16:06

that there are up to over 100 million subscribers. I

16:09

saw that too, yeah. Like, it was 70

16:11

million right away, as of today, 100 million. So

16:13

it's just like, it's blowing up. I

16:16

have to say, because

16:19

we were invited, some of us, to join

16:21

threads early to sort of like get the ball rolling.

16:25

Quick update on that, Besties. I did receive

16:27

my early access. Oh yes. I

16:29

got my invitation. I had to request it specifically,

16:31

but I did get on just a few hours

16:33

before everyone else. And I will always hold on to that.

16:36

And I have to say though, that first

16:38

day, it was wild. When

16:41

it was a social media platform that was only

16:44

influencers and celebrities and brands. Like,

16:47

I got on and I was literally just watching

16:49

Insanity. Like, I shared on my thread,

16:51

actually one of my first ones was like, you know

16:54

those Black Friday

16:55

sales when there's the horde of people outside of Walmart,

16:57

and then they open the doors, and they just explode

16:59

into it. That's what

17:02

it was. Like, the

17:03

raw desperation

17:06

from some people's amazing where they were like, can't wait to collaborate

17:08

with bum bum bum bum bum on this new platform.

17:11

Like, the one that cracked

17:13

me up was this creator, Haley

17:15

Bailey, who, she

17:17

was like determined to be the queen of threads.

17:20

And the first 24 hours, she was posting literally

17:22

like every three minutes, and it got more

17:25

and more unhinged. Where she was like, this is exciting. Now

17:27

what do I do? Oh no, no, I can't sleep. I'm gonna be

17:29

the queen of this. Like, it was

17:31

hilarious. And just watching her spiral

17:33

in real time. Really though. And

17:37

other creators that I know and love that clearly had bits

17:39

already planned, where they were like saying things and

17:41

like little tiny

17:42

bits, like ready to go. It

17:44

was insane. It was insane. I

17:47

didn't like it the first day. I was like, everyone

17:49

here sucks and is lame. Let

17:51

me get the real people in here so we can

17:54

start talking shit. Cause everyone was being so fake.

17:56

Everyone was like so sanitized

17:58

and like brand safe.

17:59

and like, uh, I'm like, get out of here. Where's

18:02

the mess? Where are the girls talking shit? Where are the gays?

18:04

Where are the queens? So I was

18:07

ready for those floodgates to open and I

18:09

think it's gotten better since. I just

18:12

couldn't get over it. It was like an episode of Survivor though,

18:14

where it was like a lot of influencers

18:17

with no audience yet. So it was like, ugh.

18:19

It was so funny. Anyway,

18:22

I loved your initial

18:24

response to threads with all of your thread puns.

18:27

I thought you did. I love word playing. I launched it

18:29

brilliantly.

18:30

I was here for all of it. Dwight and I were just like

18:32

on the couch because we were like, what are we going to do tonight? We were

18:35

going to have a date night. And then, because

18:37

threads launched like a little bit earlier than

18:39

people had anticipated. So like, as soon

18:41

as it became available to the public, I was like, hey babe, threads

18:43

is live. And he was super excited about this because he's

18:45

been wanting to get back on Twitter, but didn't really feel

18:48

like it. So this is like the perfect way. And that's one thing that

18:50

makes this such an accessible platform is that it transfers

18:52

everything from your Instagram and it's so easy to set up and join.

18:55

But he literally came into the living room and he was like, what

18:57

do you say we put on a shitty movie and then just like be on threads

18:59

all night? And I was like, brilliant, let's do it. And

19:01

we're just sitting there coming up with every possible thread

19:04

pun we could. And it was a great

19:06

time. But now these

19:08

late ass bitches are coming

19:09

in way late to the party

19:11

and they're like, oh, let's post a list of thread puns.

19:14

I'm like, Diva, it's done. You're late, you're tired,

19:16

you're dusty. Get out, you

19:18

missed it.

19:19

Yes, you were there first. Yet

19:22

again, one of my favorite brand accounts

19:24

is on threads and having a great time, Wendy's.

19:27

Wendy's knows how to do it. Wendy's

19:29

is, wait, let me pull them up real quick

19:31

because I don't even want to misquote them. While you pull

19:33

that up, I do want to mention to listeners that it

19:36

has been pointed out that the logo for threads

19:38

looks like a pube. And somebody said, I love

19:40

refreshing my thread speed to watch the little pube

19:42

at the top do its dance. So the next

19:45

time you refresh your thread speed, you're

19:47

not going to be able to unsee the little dancing pube

19:49

at the top. You're

19:51

welcome. That's literally all I see now

19:53

too. But I'm just scrolling through Wendy's thread

19:55

and it's like, I'm getting chili cheese fries. I

19:58

don't care. Someone,

20:00

it's, you dropped your name tag and it's just the

20:03

thing that says pure sugar. One

20:05

picture of an old Wendy's billboard

20:07

that's like run down where it looks like mascara

20:09

is just pouring down a Wendy's face. And it says,

20:12

I'm not even tired, bro.

20:15

Like it's, and Mark Zuckerberg is jumping

20:17

on there too. Like he clearly loves Wendy's. Where

20:20

like they said, looking in the mirror after three

20:22

days of threads and Zuckerberg comments,

20:24

you deserve some rest. And

20:27

they said, when the frosty hits your lips

20:29

and he goes, ooh, so smooth. Like it's,

20:32

I love that they're his favorite of the two. Well,

20:36

some of that actually got to Elon Musk

20:38

because Wendy's the messy bitch that she is. She

20:41

decided to post a thread that said, hey,

20:43

Zuck, you should go to space just to really

20:45

make him mad, LOL. And

20:47

Zuck responded with a laugh and crying emoji. So

20:50

then some try hard incel

20:52

decided to screenshot that and post it

20:54

on Twitter to bring it to Elon's attention. And

20:56

he said, Zuck is a cuck. And

20:58

I said, Elon, you are so sad, pathetic

21:01

and desperate. And here's the thing, so is Mark Zuckerberg.

21:04

And one thing that I do want to touch on is

21:06

somebody was talking about how people

21:08

are like, oh, Twitter and Instagram or Twitter

21:10

and threads, they're the same. They're both run by billionaires, blah,

21:12

blah, blah. And somebody was like, yeah, but I'm moving from

21:15

a platform from one billionaire

21:17

to a billionaire who knows when to shut the fuck up.

21:19

And I'm like, yes, at least

21:22

Zuck can play the game. At least he can

21:24

make us, I don't know, lull me into some

21:26

sense of security where I'm not afraid for my life

21:28

every day that you're in charge.

21:30

You know what I mean? Wait, I must impart.

21:33

Did we forget that Facebook is responsible

21:35

for all the bullshit in the 2016 election? A

21:38

Cambridge Analytica, anybody? Zuck

21:41

is still a bad guy.

21:42

Yeah, Zuck is still a bad guy. Billionaires

21:44

should not exist. They need to be eaten alive.

21:47

Meta should be broken up. But

21:49

it's very lesser of two evils, I feel like, with

21:51

threads, don't you?

21:53

Yeah, I think that's been a big conversation because

21:55

people weirdly are now like siding with Mark Zuckerberg

21:57

because it's so funny to watch Elon Musk get

21:59

so mad.

21:59

Like, I think it was one

22:02

of the first days where he tweeted, it's

22:04

gone now, I actually looked back to his Twitter to see if it was still there, it's

22:06

been deleted. But he basically was like, been

22:09

on thread for three hours now and it

22:11

sucks. And it just felt

22:13

so just like second grade around the playground

22:16

being like, I didn't get picked

22:18

for kickball, so kickball sucks. And

22:20

like, that's been his energy and the fact that

22:22

Mark Zuckerberg is like hardcore trolling him

22:25

is just funny. Like, Mark

22:27

Zuckerberg

22:28

is still like, not a good person, but I

22:31

guess like when you're just an outsider, it's funny

22:33

to watch this feud. Like,

22:37

did you see too, Elon Musk and I was threatening to

22:39

put nudity restrictions

22:42

on Twitter because...

22:43

Oh, then you're done, Elon. I was thinking that

22:45

you are absolutely done. Because it's like, Twitter

22:48

might, if threads really does take off, if

22:50

it isn't just like a cool flash in the pan because

22:52

it's new, but they, you know, they

22:54

still have the same sort of like, nudity rules that they do

22:56

with Instagram, Twitter might become the

22:58

new like, Tumblr, like what Tumblr used to be. Exactly.

23:01

Which is their only hope at maintaining relevance

23:03

outside of becoming like a right wing gathering place. Well,

23:06

and it, yeah, but

23:09

I've seen so many people in the last 24 hours that

23:11

were like, no, like if you get rid of nudity on Twitter, then

23:13

we're just going to delete this altogether. You have nothing.

23:16

The only thing you have left right now is porn. Nothing,

23:18

nothing. And like a search feature. If you

23:20

don't have dick. Like...

23:23

Tumblr did this, failed flopped,

23:26

mega doo doo kaka, and then came back being

23:28

like, okay, we'll do porn again. And now they're finally

23:30

coming back in some capacity. It's like, if you

23:32

lose the porn and that's all you have left, you're

23:35

just 4chan, bitch. You're just 4chan

23:37

at this point. And you know what I think is particularly

23:39

sick? The fact that Elon

23:41

Musk is really just telling on himself at this point, because

23:44

in regards to Twitter, he said, this

23:46

platform will protect anons, or

23:48

anons for this reason particularly. And

23:51

that is specifically a term from

23:53

4chan,

23:53

which is like an anonymous messaging board. They

23:56

call themselves like anons. And he's advocating

23:58

to protect these insides.

23:59

men and then also using the word cuck. It's like it's

24:02

very much clear that you're spending all of your time

24:04

on B, which is like the

24:06

most horrible, rotted place on the internet. It's a

24:08

board on 4chan. And it's like you are

24:10

one of these gross,

24:12

disgusting, probably racist,

24:15

probably homophobic, probably, let's

24:18

just say all allegedly, but

24:20

those are the people he's associating himself with.

24:23

He's just really outing himself in my eyes

24:25

and I'm like, you are disgusting.

24:28

Wow.

24:29

Anyway, but threads is fun.

24:32

Threads is fun. It needs a hundred more

24:34

features. They're working on it,

24:36

y'all. Do you follow that guy, the

24:39

hot Instagram guy, who's always, he seems like mossy

24:41

or mosey or something?

24:42

Maybe. He has the glasses.

24:44

He always does like, here at Meadow, we're updating

24:47

this, this, and this. Yes. Where he talks

24:49

to the people. He's been posting all over threads

24:51

talking about like they're receiving the feedback, what they have

24:53

planned. And he's talking about how they

24:56

have all these features that they want

24:58

to bring to it, but they have to make sure that it's like a sustainable

25:00

platform long-term, which at this point I'm kind of like, it's

25:02

only not going to be sustainable if you drop the ball.

25:05

That's why I'm on that.

25:06

Yeah, I'm really curious because it is. It's definitely

25:08

like a hot, exciting new thing, but

25:11

we'll see if it lasts. I like also all the creators

25:13

that were like, oh my God, okay, so now I have to post the same

25:15

video like on TikTok, on

25:17

Twitter, on Instagram, on threads. It's like,

25:20

how many more of these are we going to have? For

25:22

the time being, I'm treating threads as its own

25:24

thing where I reveal a particular

25:27

brand of unhinged Paris. I'm not going

25:29

to post most of my content there. It's just going to be silly

25:31

time. I'm going full nerd with it.

25:33

I'm posting antiquated

25:35

words

25:36

and I think it's so fun because I love them. Today's

25:39

was bumfuzzle, to confuse, perplex,

25:41

or fluster. Well,

25:43

I think our producers are bumfuzzled that we haven't

25:45

kicked it to a break yet. So we'll

25:47

be right back. Yeah. I don't want to

25:49

be a Quokkerwadger. Hey, what

25:51

does that one mean? I don't think that even made

25:53

sense. It refers to a wooden puppet

25:56

that's controlled by strings.

25:58

It almost works. It almost works. And

26:01

with that, we'll take a break.

26:07

All-time

26:30

26:49

can our listeners find us on threads? Well,

I am at Paris Nicholson, just like on Instagram,

27:50

just like Instagram. Yes, because

28:07

at thesocialdosepodcast.com because we may

28:09

just read them aloud on the show

28:11

like we're about to do right now with this one from Steve

28:14

from New Jersey. Michael, are you ready? I

28:16

am so ready. This is, there's two

28:18

sections. Do you wanna take the first section? I'll take the second.

28:21

Actually, can you do the whole thing? Cause I feel like you have a better

28:23

New Jersey than I do. I was about to try my

28:25

New Jersey. But you have to set it up like it's an audition.

28:28

I actually do live in New Jersey. So, okay,

28:30

you do. So say your name, your

28:32

height, and what you're about to do. Hello,

28:34

I'm... It's

28:35

late. Hello, I'm Michael Judson-Berry. I'm

28:37

five nine. I'm based in Jersey City,

28:39

New Jersey, and I'll be reading for the part of Steve. Thank

28:42

you. All

28:45

right. This is the problem with cold

28:48

reads. Okay. Hi, Michael

28:50

in Paris. I look forward to Tuesdays

28:52

and Thursdays. You guys are super fun, amusing,

28:55

and enlightening. You had mentioned on

28:57

an episode that you both watched Gentlemen Prefer

28:59

Blondes as an intro to Marilyn Monroe for Paris.

29:02

Michael also mentioned exploring

29:04

the noir genre. Aside from the usual

29:06

noir suspects, which are amazing, Mildred Pierce,

29:09

the Maltese Falcon, and one of my personal

29:11

faves, Double Indemnity, might

29:13

I suggest that you both give Niagara

29:15

a view? Thanks for all the fun

29:17

and the laughs and even some education along

29:19

the way. All the best, Steve.

29:22

Mr. Stevers on Instagram. Prius,

29:24

Michael, when are you coming to partner with Waze for

29:26

a Moira or all the Schitt's Creek characters for

29:28

GPS? This so needs to happen. Bye.

29:32

Oh my God, Steve. Thank

29:34

you for mentioning my GPS videos.

29:36

Those bring me a lot of joy too.

29:39

Steve's an eagle ear listener. Yes.

29:43

And Steve, I have to say, I love Mildred Pierce.

29:45

I love the Maltese Falcon and I love

29:47

Double Indem...

29:49

Wait, no, I haven't seen Double Indemnity, but I have

29:51

seen Niagara, so I do love that one too. You've seen

29:54

Niagara. Should I watch it? Have you seen

29:56

any of these? No, not one. It's

29:58

great. Even Maltese Falcon.

29:59

No, but I've heard of Mildred

30:02

Pierce, and I'll be honest, I thought that was

30:04

a real human. I thought

30:05

that was just a woman in history. Joan

30:07

Crawford did the original movie, and then Kay

30:11

Winslet did a remake of it.

30:13

Interesting. I love finding another

30:15

old movie buff who listens to the pod. Oh my

30:17

God, Steve.

30:18

Okay, so wait, what's Niagara?

30:20

Niagara, that's a Marilyn Monroe movie. And

30:22

it's another, but it's like a drama. Like, because she did

30:24

drama. She was a really good actress. Yeah, that's a great one. I

30:27

haven't seen it in a long time. But

30:29

oh, it's- Well, we might just have to watch it. I think we're gonna

30:32

have to. And double indemnity, I have to see. I've heard

30:34

of it, and it's been on my list. I don't

30:36

know what that is, but that one sounds the sexiest. Like double

30:38

indemnity. Like, ooh, what did she do? You

30:40

know what I mean? Oh, but Maltese Falcon's so

30:42

good.

30:43

Well, besties, that is all the time we have for

30:45

today. Thank you so much for tuning in with us.

30:48

And don't forget to share your listener letters, as always.

30:50

Now with that being said, I need to go

30:52

see if I can post whole on threads.

30:55

Oh no. And

30:58

I need to go find more fun antiquated

31:00

words. If you think of any, please DM them.

31:03

Bumble squash. Happy scrolling.
