Taboo Words and Actions - S6 Ep14

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:02]Welcome to Rachel Uncensored. One of the few places on the internet that you can find an uncensored version of me. Hello, I'm Rachel and welcome back to another episode. How's everybody doing? Me?

[00:00:16]Fine, I'll tell you. I mean, I hope you're well. Did you answer? This isn't Dora the Explorer. I can't hear you. How are you doing? Good job. Sorry. That was a moment for me. So much has happened in the last week. Snoop got a puncture wound on his paw. The vet I originally went to the day after I noticed he had a limp was like, "Looks like he pulled something on the outer part of his paw.

[00:00:42]We can't really tell though until he's fully sedated. So, let's give him some anti-inflammatories and pain meds for a week and see how it goes." Boom. That's not what it was. So, his paw got infected and got really swollen. So, I spent all of Saturday at the emergency vet. They had to sedate him. Big They found a big puncture wound. We don't quite know what it's from. It could have been a splinter, a stick, this gopher wire that I had exposed. Could have been a bunch of different things, but long story short, he got the help he needed.

[00:01:13]He is home on the road to recovery. And he is on so much medication, it's hard to fathom. between his allergy meds, his heart meds, and his wound meds. He's taken like 12 pills at dinner, guys. I don't know how to do it. I'm just I mean, I am I'm doing it. I'm doing it.

[00:01:33]I'm I'm not even having to do much. I just haven't given it to him. But he's a trooper. He's not trying to mess with his bandage at all. He's a good boy. All right. And then my sty my injury. It won't go away. It's still here. If you're watching, you can still see my eye looks a little weird. It's not as bad as it was by any means, but this thing won't [ __ ] leave my existence.

[00:01:57]It really likes me. I get it. I'm fun to hang out with. Trust me, the novelty wears off. You're going to get bored, sty, you might want to move on before you get a bad taste in your mouth. But other than that, I think that's all for housekeeping. Sty is still here. Snoop is hurt, but he's on the mend. And my deck is taking so long to finish, but I'm doing it. I'm trucking forward. I'm not getting distracted. I'm going to finish it. The goal is to finish it by Mother's Day because on Mother's Day, I want to go and build a new chicken coupe door for my mother. That is what she wants. And I am here to deliver. And I'm probably also going to give my sister a haircut for her Mother's Day present.

[00:02:44]That's right, folks. I am just a doer.

[00:02:48]My family loves an act of service. And gosh darn it, I'm good at that. So, those are my plans for Mother's Day. And I want I'm leaving town next week to go on tour with my sister. If you didn't know, my sister's doing a mini tour.

[00:02:59]We're going to Nashville and then Atlanta. Me and Abby are going with her and Eric. If you want to see us, please come. Ticket links are below. Remind me to put those I'm talking to myself.

[00:03:11]Remind me to put the ticket links below.

[00:03:13]It's annoying. She doesn't have just like one link you go to. You have to go to like individual sites. You don't want to go to like Ticket Master or Subhub.

[00:03:19]Then you're overpaying. Her tickets are relatively cheap. If you go straight through the venue site websites, so I'll try and put each individual one down there. Or you can go to her link tree, which is in her Instagram bio. Then you can see all of the things right there.

[00:03:34]Anyway, there's also next month we are going to Boston and Pittsburgh. No, Philadelphia. Boston and Philadelphia.

[00:03:44]You know, just letting you know if you want to go meet us or see us or me or Abby. Everyone wants to meet Abby and Eric. People have met me and Colleen, but not many have met Eric and Abigail.

[00:03:57]So, are you going to grace your eyes with with such attractive beauty? Both of them gorgeous little faces. They got faces you can just kiss the cheeks of.

[00:04:09]But I want to get my deck done before I go on tour next week because I don't want it sitting for another week with just being untouched. That's my goal.

[00:04:17]That's my life. But I am having so much fun doing it. And I love that the content I'm putting out on socials is is doing pretty decent with what I'm doing because this is what I want to be doing.

[00:04:27]This is what I love. And so to have that support and that validation, oh, there's nothing like it. But now I'm like, I gotta keep doing it. I gotta keep putting out I gotta keep doing it. I gotta go. I'm like stressing myself out, but it's like a good stress, you know, like excited for it. It's like before a birthday party, you're all stressed out, but oh, you're excited for it to happen.

[00:04:49]All right, that's that's pretty much it.

[00:04:51]So, let's read your comments from last week or any of the last videos. BMW World 35 says, "Me, I can't delete most of the photos off my phone. It's not just it's just not in me, lol." What are we supposed to do with them? People are like, "Oh, send them to this place." And they'll make you a scrapbook. I'm never going to look at the scrapbook. And also, if I need to send that photo from to somebody for some reason, it's in a scrapbook. How am I supposed to do that?

[00:05:15]Oh, put it on a hard drive, an external hard drive. I'm never going to look at that. And what if I lose it? And I'm never going to want to be like, "There's a photo of that, but it's on an external hard drive that's in my office that I'd have to go get and then plug into my computer and then airdrop to my phone and then send to somebody." No. No. I'm just not going to do it. And I also don't do the cloud. I don't do iCloud for photos because if that [ __ ] is hacked, even though I don't have anything incriminating there, you know, that's my business.

[00:05:46]There are photos on my album. I don't want you seeing, you know, sometimes I get a weird tan line on my butt, so I take a picture of it. Sometimes I got a weird mole happening, so I take a picture of it. Sometimes I'm taking funny pictures and I don't got pants on or my fiance doesn't have pants on. So, I don't want my photos getting hacked.

[00:06:04]So, I literally don't connect to the iCloud, which is really annoying cuz when people share u albums like on group trips or birthday parties and stuff like when we do a big group activity and we all have a lot of photos, we're like, "Let's just throw them all on a shared album." Okay, but could you text me the ones I'm in?

[00:06:22]That's always really annoying. And then I can't add them. So, I usually airdrop them all to someone that does have it and then they put them in the It's a whole thing. It's a whole [ __ ] thing.

[00:06:30]Anyway, your hair looks beautiful. Thank you. I had gotten it cut and now I just uh washed it and it's getting dried by the air. Trippier in said, "I wish I could remember my MySpace login. I want to change my profile song." Is that the only reason? I want to see the photos on it. I haven't even attempted to log in, but I know I wouldn't be able to. Is MySpace still a thing? MySpace.com.

[00:06:58]Is it a.com?

[00:07:00]It says no healthy upstream.

[00:07:03]The entire page is white, but in the top left there's typewriter font that says no healthy upstream. Is MySpace still active? Let's see that. Yes, MySpace is still active at myspace.com.

[00:07:18]Okay, every time I click that it says no healthy upstream as a music focused entertainment site rather than a personal social network. While it still exists, it is a shell of its former self largely abandoned by general users and focused on music artist entertainment.

[00:07:35]Y'all, every time I click it, it says my healthy upstream. Why does it say my healthy upstream when I go to MySpace? I'm going to figure this out. A no healthy upstream error on MySpace or other sites means your browser cannot connect to the server because the backend server is temporarily down, misconfigured, or unreachable. Okay, so MySpace doesn't work anymore. It just doesn't. Okay, we found we figured it out. You can't log in. You can't change your profile song because it doesn't exist anymore.

[00:08:11]Can we please have Abby on the podcast again? I'll probably have her on eventually. You know, I got to get her in the right mood. I got to get her talking. She'll She'll eventually show up again. Ally says, "You're not supposed to put hot foods immediately in the fridge. You're supposed to let it cool down a little to where it won't heat up cold food that are in the fridge." I've actually heard that, but not for that reasoning. I've always heard don't put hot food immediately in the fridge. Mainly because you don't want to I I don't know the science behind it, but I was told like don't seal up a hot thing and then throw it in the fridge. It'll like mess up it. I don't it like overcooks it or re recook or some I don't remember why. And I just always followed that, but I didn't know it was so it doesn't heat up cold foods that are in the fridge. I'm gonna I'm gonna Google it. Should you put hot food straight into the fridge? Let's see. It is safe and often recommended to put hot food in the fridge immediately to prevent bacteria growth. Contrary to the myth that it will break your fridge, I didn't even hear that myth. While hot food can raise the fridge's temperature, modern fridges can handle it. However, for best safety and efficiency, it's best to divide large amounts into smaller containers to cool quickly. Huh, I did not know that. It says, "Avoid the danger zone. Bacteria grow faster between 40° F and 140° F. Putting food in the fridge quickly prevents it from staying in this zone for more than 2 hours. Prevents spoilage. Putting hot food in the fridge prevents it from cooling too slowly, which can lead to rapid bacterial growth. Oh, and this says, "Avoid soggginess." Yes, this is what I heard. Avoid soggginess. Covering hot food immediately can lead to condensation, making soggy food. Let it cool uncovered for a short time before sealing. That's what I always heard.

[00:10:14]Maximum efficiency. It's more energy efficient to let food cool slightly to room temperature first, but safety is more important than electricity usage.

[00:10:23]So, put your hot food straight into the fridge, but let it cool down a little bit in the fridge first before you put a cover on it to reduce condensation, which then would cause soggess.

[00:10:35]And we figured it out together, everybody. Thank you for going on this journey with me. It took quite some time, but I'm glad we were able to support each other through it.

[00:10:50]KB loves Dog says, "I watched your main channel video and when you were telling Snoop to learn to breathe, I took a drink at the wrong time or right time, lol, and spit out my drink." OH MY GOD, I CAUSED YOU TO do a spit take. That is an honor. That is an ego booster and just top tier. If you can make someone spit out a drink or snort when they're like laughing and they they're laughing so hard they snort or getting a weeze laugh. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

[00:11:21]That makes me feel better about myself.

[00:11:23]Oh my gosh. Janice says, "Speaking of pain, sorry of TMI. I have had pain for three months now due to a fibroid due to a fibroid and I am getting a partial hysterctomy. Oh, the joys of the reproductive organs." I'm nervous to say the least. I wanted to add they are leaving my ovaries thankfully and I am 47 also. I am so sorry. Oh, but I'm so glad that you are getting the care you need to stop the pain. No one should be living in pain. Uh-uh.

[00:11:55]Proud of you. I'm sorry and I love you.

[00:11:58]Okay, that's it for comments. Let's see if we have a sponsor for today. Sponsor.

[00:13:45]Nickelodeon.

[00:13:48]I have a hot take today. It's not really a hot take. I just had this thought.

[00:13:53]We'll call it a hot take for the sake of the podcast. I am stressed. I am a stress ball when I think about this that in 20 years there is so much we do and say now that is going to be wildly inappropriate and taboo to do in 20 years. Does that make sense? I couldn't even remember what I said as I was speaking because I'm 35. She I was born in 91. I'm a '9s baby through and through. grew up during it, which means I grew up when internet wasn't a thing and then it became a thing, but no one knew really how to use it and then now it's a [ __ ] thing, right? I've seen the flows in the generations. Yes, it is so crazy to think about the stuff that now there is no way anyone would ever do or say, but back 10, 20, 30 years ago was so common it wasn't even talked about. But now my brain's also thinking like back then we didn't have the internet to really know what was right or wrong. You just had the people in your bubble. So if the people in your bubble were all saying something or doing something and no one saw a problem with it, how are you to learn that there's a problem with it? Right? Unless you're like a crazy philosophical critical thinker. I was like 10. So I'm I'm not even talking about a specific thing. But, you know, now we have the internet, so you're having strangers comment or view or post videos constantly saying what's right and what's not and giving new information.

[00:15:32]Cuz I was just thinking about how nowadays when someone has a baby, it is so not okay to kiss the baby. This a lot of people don't even the things I'm about to say. Some people still don't know or or still know, but they don't follow. Okay? Cuz a lot of people now realize you can be asymptomatic. You could be carrying a virus or have a cold sore or you could have something that's dormant inside of you that you are not expressing the signs of sickness. You are not expressing you don't see that you are sick or feel it but you still have the virus, the bacterial, the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Science, science, science, science. So, by kissing a baby on its hands or its face or its head, you could be transferring that to the baby and the baby's got barely any bit of an immune system.

[00:16:22]Those babies can't do [ __ ] for themselves. God damn it. They're worthless at that point. So, back in the day, I remember kissing a baby on the head was just like, it's just what you did. You held a new baby and you smelled it and you're like, "This smells [ __ ] good." And then you kiss it on its head and then you're like, I'm going to eat you. But in like a loving way, not in a cannibalism way. But now, oh my gosh, you're not allowed to do that. Oh my gosh. We just went and visited Aby's friend had a baby 7 months ago and we just visited for the first time and the mom had put a a sheet a rule sheet outside the house. Like when you get to the door, it's like, "Hey, rules for our baby. Very simple things. Take your shoes off. Please wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before touching anything in our house." and no posting the baby's face on the internet. All very normal.

[00:17:15]Um, and then the one of them says, "Please do not kiss our baby at all."

[00:17:20]And I was, "Yep, yep." But the older generation won't adhere to that. And I keep hearing stories about how people people in their 50s or 60s keep trying to kiss babies and we keep being like, "Don't do that." And they're like, "Oh, I forgot. Oh, it's fine. We used to do that all the time. It's totally fine."

[00:17:38]And that is just a very very small example of things that were so normal and almost right back in the day. Like that's how you showed affection. That's how you loved on the baby. That's how you got this connection. You you showed the people the parents that you were excited for them is you kissed the baby.

[00:17:56]Like that was the most normal thing almost required thing to do. And now it's so [ __ ] taboo that you're shunned and looked down upon and get in trouble and scolded if you do it. And I just I just like immediately started thinking about all these things the the like the words that we use. It was back then, not back then. I don't even know what I'm talking about, but like in my childhood, gay using gay as an insult was very very very very normal. And a lot people today still use it as an insult cuz they're [ __ ] idiots. See, I don't need to use a weird term to call you an idiot. I'll just call you a [ __ ] idiot. But back then, people just like it was used all the time until Hillary Duff finally did a commercial putting the end to calling people gay as an insult. But that was like that's how we found out that using the term gay as an insult and like just it replaced the word stupid like you'd be like I don't want to go to that. That's [ __ ] gay.

[00:18:58]As like and not you're not saying like that's homosexual. you were saying that was stupid and we didn't know that that was wrong. I don't even I don't think I used it that much cuz we did have a friend that told me that you shouldn't say that when I was really little and I said okay I'm the type once you tell me it's not right I won't do it anymore.

[00:19:16]I'm like bet sweet sounds good but sometimes my pea brain I need to be told that I I have a hard time sometimes coming up with it myself. So, and again, I was a child when this was happening, but we didn't have the internet to tell us, hey, that's wrong, and here's why.

[00:19:36]They had to make a commercial with Hillary Duff to tell the world using gay as an insult, even if you're not calling the person homosexual, but you're using it as a replacement word for stupid or bad, was wrong.

[00:19:55]And I' I've seen this so much with uh the internet is forever and we all really need to learn that, right? The internet is forever. So posting things and then when the internet came out, we were posting things and saying things that were socially acceptable. They were not right, but they were socially acceptable in that time frame and in whatever community we were with, right?

[00:20:19]And then now I'm not even again I'm not talking about anything specific. I am just so stressed because now we put everything on the internet and the internet is forever that in 20 years I am terrified to see what is okay to say or do now arms like very socially acceptable and what we think is correct to see what that [ __ ] is that is going to end up being so taboo in 20 to 30 years. Okay, so what the [ __ ] I lost my train of thought. [ __ ] No. Okay. But I've just been thinking about the fact that Gen Z and a lot of people, I'm not just calling out Gen Z.

[00:21:00]I'll take that back. A lot of human beings have a really hard time comprehending when they see old footage of people saying or doing something that is so wrong now. not getting while it wasn't correct back then, it was extremely socially acceptable when that thing took place. I think there should be like a hard timeline, like a hard date. Be like that [ __ ] was wrong. Wait, what year was it? It's fine. Then they get a pass. I think that's what it should be. And I'm not, again, I am not trying to justify my own behavior. I'm I'm just someone that's been around for a very long time and I've been through no internet the internet beginning and what the internet is now and I've been consciously aware throughout that entire period and I love I love how informative the internet can be even if it's very wrong sometimes but like I love that we can be like hey like it's a place where marginalized groups can have a voice finally and that information can be spread to people who might not ever come in contact with someone like that, but they'll at least get to learn about it, right? So, I I was like, how do we solve this? I feel like there should be timelines. We should go all of the words that were are not not okay and not socially acceptable to say now. At what year do we give it to where it's like, okay, before this year you get it passed, but after this year you've been told and you keep saying it, so you're in trouble now. And I don't even know what like we're just going to keep using like gay as an insult, right? If you're using that in 2026, open a dictionary and learn a new word, bro. Get over it. Because I have heard people I've heard people use the R word in recent days and I go, "Well, we don't say that anymore." And they and it's usually an older person. They go, "Oh, I forgot."

[00:23:01]But that's the thing. You forgot mean that you were taught. and you were taught means you should learn it. The Y word I'm like yeah what's the cut off for that because as a when I was in my childhood that also like the word gay was socially acceptable at least in my area to say in place of the word stupid.

[00:23:21]I am very against the rword being used now in place of that word. I would never use it in my vocabulary. But when I was growing up, that was a very, very, very, very normal word to use. I have since learned that's bad. And the second I learned it's bad, it's it got locked in.

[00:23:42]I said, "Okay, that word's bad. Never say that word." And I just feel like there's so many things like that. And I so I decided I decided to look up what are things that were once popular to do but are now frowned upon because I feel like this is so common. But especially with the spread of the internet, we are able to send information and have access to so much more information that we're learning and growing so much more. But a lot of people don't realize that wasn't a thing. Before the internet, you literally had your family members telling you right from wrong. Then once the internet started, it was it was MySpace and we weren't trying to use it to find information. We were using it to figure out our top eight and our profile color and song. We were not we did not know the the internet was a place well at least, you know, the kids using the internet did not know it was a place to obtain information and to figure out right from wrong. Right? Nowadays, that's what it is. But for a very long time, it was not that. So, times have changed and they always do. This whole rant is I think we should have and again I'm not trying to justify any of my behavior. This was just a thought I had when we we were told no kissing babies or and I had heard so many stories about parents and like the grandparents and uncles still trying to kiss the baby where I was like that is so crazy that that was just something that we all did that was you know pushed on us that like this is what you're supposed to do and it's totally okay to do to now it's like super taboo. So, I've just been thinking about all those and then I'm like, we have need to have time frames to be like with words being like or I guess some actions, but like hey, if it was before this time, it wasn't okay, but like you get up past we can't be mad at you cuz you stopped once that timeline hit like once that year hit and you you stopped doing or saying that thing. Okay, except physical like not like like beating people was always wrong. Like sexual assault was always wrong, but things like kissing babies or wearing seat belts or smoking in offices, like those were all things like people didn't wear seat belts. Abby has a story of a really old family member that when they moved towns, they packed up all their car and they had a baby and they put a baby in a drawer dresser in the back of the car to drive it to a different state. They didn't have car seats and that was just fine. They're like, "Ah, it's fine."

[00:26:07]They put a baby in a drawer. THEY HAD THE DRAWER IN THE CAR AND THEY PUT THE baby in the drawer and they drove. That would not be okay now. But it was so okay then because it was back then. So we can't we can't Sorry, I think my timer went off. We can't arrest them for child endangerment. Well, they've passed away.

[00:26:27]But two, that was okay back then. So you can't get mad at them. You can't. But anyway, so I looked up what were things that were once popular but are now frowned upon. Uh, top one says just swinging by, dropping in on someone without calling or making a plan. My dad used to do this with his friends. They would drink coffee and [ __ ] for hours. I would say depends on your living situation and the type of friends you have, but like we do have friends that try and pop by, but we are literally never home when they do that. We have an open door policy for a few close-knit people, but there are a lot of people if they just swung by, I'd be like, "I don't have time to hang out with you.

[00:27:07]Why are you here? This is weird." A lot of friends at least give a text beforehand being like, "Hey, are you home? I'm I'm in the neighborhood. I want to swing by and say hi. I miss you." That is so normal and that is okay. But yeah, people just walking in.

[00:27:19]That is not a thing anymore. that I remember growing up people used to pop by my parents house all the time and our front door was always unlocked because people would just stop by and the only time we ever locked it. It's not the case anymore. My parents have their door locked all the time now, but it used to be they only locked it when it was time to go to bed. You'd wake up in the morning, you'd unlock the door and then when you went to bed you locked it. But throughout the entire day, even if no one was home, the door was unlocked because people popped by all the time.

[00:27:48]We'd come home and there'd just be someone on our couch hanging out. That happens now for us. Aby's brother just pops by all the time without without an announcement. I never know what he'll call me like, "Where are you guys at?"

[00:27:58]Like, "We are at dinner." He's like, "Oh, all right. I'm hanging with the dogs. Okay, fine." Family members are a little different that you're close with.

[00:28:06]But yeah, the swinging by very, very rare. Someone said smoking at work. A co-worker's cigarette fell into her typewriter and the paper caught on fire.

[00:28:15]She put it out with her coffee. When was this? 1965. People were still smoking inside in some states in the 90s. Yeah.

[00:28:23]That doctors used to smoke in their doctor's offices while checking in on patients. People used to smoke in offices all the time. They didn't understand the detriment it could do.

[00:28:35]And then even after that, people were like, "WELL, I WANT TO SMOKE BLAH BLAH BLAH." AND then they had to figure out secondhand smoke. I remember seeing secondhand smoke ads as commercials in the '9s as a child watching TV. That is how we would get this information.

[00:28:52]Hillary Duff had to tell us that gay was not a good word to use as an insult or to call something stupid. And commercials had to teach us about secondhand smoke. I have a vivid memory of a cigar antismoking secondhand smoke thing. It was like a dark house and you could see the cigarette lit and a baby in a crib crying and it was like you could see the smoke. It was like animated smoke. I think I let's hope like kind of wrapping around the baby and they're like secondhand smoke kills. I remember that so vividly and that's when I learned and that's how I learned but I had to make sure that I wouldn't if I wasn't watching TV I wouldn't have known. I would have never known until you know later in life. Uh someone said one for the road is literally about grabbing a beer for the drive home. My mom told me she used to stand between the front seats to hold her dad's beer when he drove. And that wasn't considered alcoholic behavior. It was just normal in the 70s. Drinking and driving was so normal. Isn't that crazy?

[00:29:59]It's absolutely crazy. Forcing left-handed people to use the right hand instead. They tried to make being left-handed illegal. For what? For what?

[00:30:12]What is the point of that?

[00:30:14]Why?

[00:30:17]Let people use their their feet to write. I don't give a [ __ ] as long as they're writing. Oh man. Someone commented on that and said, "They did this to me when I was a kid. I grew up in the 70s and ' 80s. My handwriting is [ __ ] to this day because of it." Didn't really know what happened until I started doing martial arts in my teens and kind of discovered I worked better as a lefty. asked my mom about it and sure enough she said in the early grade schools the teacher told her I was left-handed but they were going to teach me to write with my right hand anyway.

[00:30:45]That is so [ __ ] funny. It's terrible.

[00:30:48]It's actually terrible is what it is.

[00:30:50]Someone said pushing people into pools back then no one had cell phones. Oh yeah. No, you can't do that [ __ ] anymore. One because women a lot of people one because a lot of people spend a lot of time getting ready hair and makeup and then also everyone's got an electronic of some sort in their pocket.

[00:31:07]So you can't just be willy-nilly throwing people into pools. Also that's just like [ __ ] Also more and more people are fighting against smashing people's faces into cakes when they after they're done singing happy birthday and blow out the candle. Don't do that. I'm over the whole humiliation rituals because people some people think it's funny. No, I hate that [ __ ] so much. I came from a family that never ever ever ever pranked each other and I am super against pranks now and I just don't understand it. That was never our sense of humor. Our sense of humor is stupid gross fart booger poop jokes. So, but I am so thankful that it was that and not pranks. I hate pranks. I hate and I think they're slowly starting to die out. I think people, smart people, aware people are starting to learn.

[00:31:57]Pranks are just mean. They're coming at the cost of humiliating another human being and making them feel stupid. That is the only way you can be funny. That's sad, bro. That's sad. It's not funny.

[00:32:10]It's just not funny. Babies sleeping on their backs. No, their bellies. No backs. No bellies. No backs. No bellies.

[00:32:16]Just don't do it wrong. Your baby will die.

[00:32:20]JUST POP HIM ON A ROTISSERIE. OH, this is also so true. It still happens today where we're like, "Oh, don't do this.

[00:32:28]It's bad for you." Actually, no. The opposite. Wait, no. Back to the original. Wait, no. This other thing.

[00:32:32]Wait, no. Back. Go back. Wait, no. Do it again. No, do it this way. Like, with every new piece of information, we have to change how we're doing. Sometimes I get it, guys, when people are like, I can't keep up. There are some things where I'm like, I can't keep up. I'm going to just avoid that topic completely cuz I have no idea what's right and what's wrong. It's hard. Prank phone calls. Used to be, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" Now it's, "Do you know your vehicle warranty is about to expire?"

[00:33:01]God, no one print calls anymore because we all have caller ID and no one talks on the phone. Unless your phone number is programmed into my phone, I'm not picking up your phone call. People used to prank call all the time. You used to answer the phone not knowing who was on the other line. And that is crazy to me.

[00:33:22]Absolutely crazy. I did see something cuz there's so many spam like scams out.

[00:33:28]There's so many scams now. And I saw a meme the other day or a Tik Tok or whatever that said back in my day scams used to be like click this link to get a million dollars. And it's now it's like click this link to get a job interview or like click this link to get a loan.

[00:33:48]They're not even trying to give you money anymore. They're trying to make you work and you're getting and it's like I need work so badly. I'll do it.

[00:33:57]That that is so [ __ ] up. And then off of Reddit, people were saying like the other things that used to be totally okay that aren't anymore is smoking in enclosed spaces, restaurants, elevators, airplanes. They used to smoke in airplanes. Driving without a child car seat or a seatelt is strictly forbidden.

[00:34:13]And school padding is wildly shunned. Oh yeah, they used to beat children in schools. That was a thing. Spanking your children was a [ __ ] thing. Yeah. No, can't do that anymore. Shouldn't do that anymore. But it was so socially acceptable no one really understood to not [ __ ] up. Uh smoking and drinking while pregnant, formerly common. These are now recognized as severely harmful.

[00:34:39]People used to drink and smoke when pregnant. I'm There are people that still do, but as a whole, we know that's not good. Don't do that. Don't Let's not Let's not do the vices while growing a child. That sucks. Also, we're finding out more and more that men starting three months before trying to impregnate their spouse should go very, very healthy. don't drink alcohol, eat super healthy, and exercise a lot. And that has a lot to do with the health of their sperm, which can then with the pregnancy help with the pregnancy symptoms and the health of the child down the road. Where that's like newer information. The men's health affects the health of the sperm, which affects the health of the pregnancy and the child long term.

[00:35:28]Crazy. Absolutely crazy. You the the dude never had to do anything. And all this info is like, "No, dudes, you should probably care a little bit. You should you should probably care a smidgen, right?" And then when I was typing in things that people used to, it it popped up with what people used to believe and that intrigued me. So, let's take a look at this real quick. But first, let's just see if we have another sponsor for today. Sponsor. Sponsor.

[00:35:54]Here are some things that people used to believe and unfortunately some people still do. The earth is flat. There are still people who believe this and that is so [ __ ] crazy.

[00:36:09]Why? I just want to know why would all of the scientists and all of the countries all be lying about the shape of the earth?

[00:36:26]You [ __ ] We have so many countries on this earth, right? And we can all agree that there is not a single issue out there that every single [ __ ] country agrees on, right? So why would every single country and government and society all be lying about the shape of the earth?

[00:36:53]For the love of God, just because you don't understand science doesn't mean that it's not correct.

[00:37:03]Do you really think you are that much smarter than all of the scientists out there? And I'm sure there's like a couple whack scientists that took way too much acid that are now just just spewing [ __ ] right? But any credible scientist is going to tell you the earth is round. What do they gain from lying to you about this? I've said this many times. Aby's aunt is a scientist. She's an engineer. She has worked for NASA. She has worked for aerospace. She has worked for all of these places. I don't know if I'm legally allowed to say any of that, but she has said the earth is round. What does she get from li from lying to me about that? Why would she? Why? This woman knows the shape of the [ __ ] earth because she understands science and she knows how to do the formulas and the things and look at the research and whatnot. Also, you can just [ __ ] see the ships coming. If you look out in the distance, you see the sheep ships coming up. You can see you can see that it's angled.

[00:38:07]Anyway, I don't understand flatearthers.

[00:38:10]They do so much stuff to try and prove that the Earth is flat and their their their science experiments fail every time. I'm like, "Bro, just go back to school to learn real science and then you'll see that it's not flat.

[00:38:26]Just because you don't understand orbits and planets and space doesn't mean it's not existing that way." Oh man. Another one was that the earth was the center of the universe because humans were all extremely egotistical. So we're like the planet we're on must be the center of all known it was known as the geocentric model. It was believed that the sun, stars, and planets revolved around the earth. Just in case you didn't know, we all revolve around the sun. And then it was also believed that the sun was smaller than the earth because it was so far away we couldn't see it. But that [ __ ] is huge.

[00:39:05]Oh man. I've never heard this before. In the in 400 B.CE, so this was quite a bit of time ago, they believe that there was fire beams in the eyes and it was because we could see beams of fires existing. I don't know what the [ __ ] that means. I don't know. But I also did not know this one. in the 15 and 1600s.

[00:39:31]Okay, not that I mean that was a long time ago, but not like crazy crazy crazy crazy a long time ago, right? Explorers thought California was a massive island and not part of North America. What? We are attached all the way through.

[00:39:49]It's not like we have a giant lake in the middle of us all the like there's like like Lake Tahoe, but like what? I don't understand. Was it just like word of mouth? Like that is so far that way.

[00:40:02]California is so far out that way. It must be an island. I don't understand where that came from. Wait, should I Google it? Why did they think California was an island? Early Europeans, particularly Spanish explorers, thought California was an island from the 16th to 18th century due to a combination of misread reports about the length of the Bahama Peninsula, limited navigation technology technology, and the influence of popular fictional novel of a popular fictional novel. Wow. They were just dumb and misinformation spread. That still happens today. Misinformation is being spread constantly. I just saw a clip of some dude's podcast where some [ __ ] dude said the majority of shooters are done by trans people. And he said it with his whole chest. As if it was a fact of life that has never wavered.

[00:41:05]Bro, I'm going to look up the exact statistic.

[00:41:11]Mass shooter demographics from 1966 to 2024. Okay. Gender. Over 95% of perpetrators are male.

[00:41:22]95% of mass shootings is done by a male.

[00:41:27]Female shooters are rare. Often accompanied by a male accomplice and represented a very small fraction of cases. Okay. Guess guess the majority of the the highest race that does mass shootings. Guess the highest race. Do you want to know what it is? It's white.

[00:41:43]It's white.

[00:41:45]52 to 55%.

[00:41:48]Over half of the shootings are done by white people. And with the 95% being male, white men.

[00:41:59]Black people only account for 20 to 21%, Latinos only 8 to 10%, Asians 6 to 7%.

[00:42:06]other which includes a smaller percentage of Middle Eastern and Native American individuals. The mass shooter age is roughly 33 to 34 years old.

[00:42:17]33 to 34 year old white men. That is who is doing the mass shootings. How many trans mass shooters? We're just going to look that up. We're going to look it up real quick. Real quick.

[00:42:34]Data shows that mass shooters who identify as transgender are extremely rare. Not quote unquote many. According to the gun violence archives, transgender perpetrators account for less than 0.1% of mass shootings over the last decade.

[00:43:02]with the vast majority 97 to 98% committed by cisgender men. This man on this pad podcast said with his whole disgustingly unckempt chest that the majority of mass shooters are done by a transgender person when statistically 97 to 98% of mass shootings are committed by a cisgender man with only 01% 0.1 1% done by a transgender person. 0.1%.

[00:43:48]It's not even worth saying.

[00:43:52]It's not even worth mentioning.

[00:43:56]The violence in this country, the majority of it done without a shred of a doubt, proven by statistics and data and analysis done by our government and by third parties who just keep track of the [ __ ] Have absolutely nothing to do with the government. have proven the violence in this country most often by a landslide is done by white cisgender men. But that misinformation just keeps getting spread that it's by someone else. That the immigrants, the I don't say this word, but they say it. The brown people, the illegals, as they say.

[00:44:38]I don't believe a human can be illegal for touching soil. I just [ __ ] don't.

[00:44:43]They keep saying that they're the reasons for all of the bad things that are happening. Bro, just look at statistics.

[00:44:51]Just look it up. Just simply We're in the day and age now where we can. Back in the day, we couldn't look up if a word was good or bad or would hurt a certain community or if this action was really okay or like the long-term effects of something. We couldn't do that. Now we can. Now we can. And so you should inform yourself. I couldn't do that as a kid. I was just looking at the people around me and the Disney Channel commercials and that's how I got my information. And now as a fullfledged [ __ ] adult, sometimes I step up. But the second someone tells me that's bad, I go, "Oh, yep. Checks out." Use my critical thinking skills to say, "You were probably correct on this." And I go with that. But that doesn't mean that in 20 30 years I'm not going to look back and cringe at myself for saying or doing certain things that in 20 30 years I would never even consider doing but nowadays I don't even realize are wrong.

[00:45:45]But when you have the you have access to learn to be a better person to understand. This is also something in my I talked about on my vlog channel how this guy approached me at the hardware parking lot to talk about my feminist sticker in the back of my truck. I couldn't tell if he was coming at me from an aggressive standpoint or just wanted to chitchat with someone. Um, but I for some reason sat and talked to him.

[00:46:07]I informed him of my beliefs, why I believe what I believe. I was very kind.

[00:46:11]I gave short answers. I wasn't, you know, I I was very strong in what I believed, but I was not uh rude by any means. I come off very standoffish. I'm very guarded a lot, especially to a stranger. But I had the conversation with him about feminism. And a lot of people in the comments were saying that was you like they were like that was great that you had that conversation.

[00:46:31]Those conversations like need to be had.

[00:46:33]And that got me thinking about like it sucks. A lot of people say like it's not up to women to educate men about women's issues. It's not up to the black community to educate the white community about the black community issues. And that is so true. But at the same time, someone from these groups do need to educate at some point. They need they do need to speak up, have the conversations because you don't want white people teaching white people about black history or about immigrants. Like that's how we got the history books that we have today that are all extremely incorrect. But at some point, someone has to [ __ ] say has to speak up in those groups about the groups. And it's such a it's such a [ __ ] thing. I don't want to have these conversations educating men. But I don't I don't want to leave it up to the men to educate the other men cuz clearly they have not been doing a good job. But I mean, the internet does exist. So you can research now. But when you research, you're hoping to find someone that's actually experienced the things, talk about the things, right? It's so it's I don't even know how I got I got Oh my gosh. I just was scanning more things that uh people used to believe.

[00:47:53]Labbotoies for depression. In the middle of the 20th century, labbotoies were used and believed to be a valued cure for depression. Oh, you're sad. We'll just take out parts of your brain. No worries. No more sadness. Because if you can't register your sad and you can't register a thought, you can't be sad about the thoughts. Yay!

[00:48:15]The Y2K bug. People believe that at the turn of the millennium, a computer glitch would cause global de destruction, which was a misunderstand misunderstanding of programmer shortorthhand. Yeah. Everyone thought that when the 2000 it went from 1999 to 2000, it was the Y2K bug and all of the computers were going to shut down. And as a kid, I went that doesn't make any sense. Even I knew. I was like, what was I nine? Nine years old or eight years old. I was like, that seems a little fishy, you guys.

[00:48:50]Okay, I've been on a rant about nothing lately. But please, down below, I want you to tell me what are some things that you used to do or were told that were or have heard that were so okay back in the day, whatever day that might be, and now you're like, "Holy [ __ ] that's wrong."

[00:49:07]But it was so socially acceptable back then. Again, I'm not trying to justify any of my behaviors. I just went on this train of thought and like I have to put myself in the positions to understand and completely, you know, rationalize everything. But yeah, that was just me.

[00:49:23]Those were my thoughts. I know a lot of people have those where you look back and go, "Ooh, I can't believe I did that. Oo, I can't believe I thought that was okay." And guess what? That's going to keep happening. That's going to [ __ ] keep happening. Cuz even if you do everything with a pure heart, somewhere down the line someone's be like, "Yo, you are not allowed to pet cats tails. That is so not okay.

[00:49:47]How dare you do that? I just made that up. You can pet cats tails for now, but one day we might figure out that's not okay." The way we used to treat family dogs and pets, not me personally, but like people, no one ever took their animals to the vets. People used to just chain up their people still do unfortunately. People just chained up their dogs in their yards and like that's their life. Chained to a post.

[00:50:07]You just throw grocery store bought kibble at them every once in a while and you're good to go. Like that is an animal abuse now. And it was then, but people didn't know. It was just like ah this is what you do. The well that's ah we used to do this back in the day. It's fine. That is so not But you can't do that anymore especially once you've been educated. Anyway, that's all. I'm going to go now. I love you guys so much. You wonderful, beautiful people. Thank you to our sponsors and I'll see you next time. Bye.
