Why Can’t We Agree on ANYTHING Anymore? (YOU'RE Part of the Problem Too)

Added: 2026-05-09

[00:00:00]Chickity China the Chinese chicken. You have a drumstick and your brain stops ticking. Watching X files with the lights on with dollar. When I want something sweet at 4 in the morning, I'm eating my fruit loops with soy milk.

[00:00:13]Clear blue and unconditional. Skies are dry. The tears from my eyes. No one cries. Lay back with my mind on my money. On my money on my mind. [singing] Let's go.

[00:00:31]>> I was pleasantly surprised the last video that I saw that so many people knew what the Bernstein bears were.

[00:00:36]Bernstein or Bernstein, depending on how you grew up, this going to be one of those. And it was interesting because I thought maybe that was just me and then I read about it and then I saw on some Reddit. I think some of them learned it was Baron Steinbears. I'm wondering though if any of you know remember Teddy Rux spin. Do you remember the Teddy Rux spins? You remember those? So it's similar to the Mother D mother deuce goose. You you put in the cassette tape and then it talked. But this was Teddy Rux spin. I'm wondering if because he was a bear if maybe they had some deal with the the Baronstein Bears. But I probably got a Baronstein Bear cassette tapes. That was all the rage at the time. Cassette tapes. So, I bet that I had purchased some narration of the Baronstein Bear books to to listen as I'm reading and maybe I used it in Teddy Ruxpin or in the the Mother Goose. They must have mispronounced it there. Like, there has to be a reason. So, I was just thinking about the memory and then I had been doing these Hollywood things and people are like, why do you care? I don't think people understand how much everything is connected or at least how I feel like everything is connected and how important it is that we don't lose our connected entertainment system. It doesn't have to be Hollywood. We could replace it with something else, but Hollywood exists. That's the one, right?

[00:01:56]Uh but just having some sort of collective memory of we're all watching the same thing at the same time. You didn't care about the the Olympics, but you all kind of watched it together. I did not care about the Super Bowl, but I watched it. We had the Super Bowl parties. I'm not a sports person. I could care less. But that was a thing.

[00:02:18]It was a community thing. And I have nostalgia for those. Not because I want to watch football. We have collective memories. We have collective experiences that I think connect people in a way that we don't have anymore. We're missing out on it. And I do think that the world is missing out culturally because of it. I I feel like we are more and more separated in our little pockets. No one wants to assimilate with each other or work together. So you just have one area with four groups of cultures that aren't interacting. And that's what we're having. But before you used to have like the the water cooler talk the next day that we don't have that even a few years before pandemic stuff I think you know like you could see Making a Murder you could see um Tiger Tiger King you had these moments good or bad that everyone was talking about you can see it's it's rapidly leaving because you have say the manosphere that that we would talk about you add the manosphere and it's basically people are disengaging with the main environment because that main environment is not giving them what they need, what they desire, what they want to consume. So they're going to say this manosphere. So they're not getting any of the mainstream content anymore because there's this other place. I'm glad that people have places but because we have not one place that everyone's going to have a collective moment, I believe that is hurting us as a whole. I believe that it's hurting us specifically. I think it is detrimental to us that we don't have these shared moments, collective moments of the same feeling. So, we all saw what happened with Charlie Kirk. We have very different feelings about what happened.

[00:04:12]That's the thing. when people saw in the United States what happened say to um JFK there was a collective agreement there was a collective feeling even if there were outliers people that were happy you this and that like you collectively as a whole agreed on the sentiment that was shared publicly it was because collectively everyone felt that way and so now we're seeing everyone and collectively everyone is feeling dramatically different and that to me is a symptom of a larger issue that will cause a larger divide over a larger issue later. That's why this is all important in my head now because there there are issues later that are going to come up because we're not dealing and we haven't been dealing with it and we're seeing the symptoms of stuff we haven't been dealing with that they said oh you know like you're being a little dramatic about that. Yeah. The whole it's not that deep. It's deep to someone and that person is using their brain to think deeply about something which is what we need to do. We need to brains to work.

[00:05:24]We need our brains to function. We need to use the muscles in our brains. This is just reality. And I am tired of living in a world where people think that having any resistance, that having any hard work, having to struggle at any level makes it not worth doing it.

[00:05:40]Meritocracy is needed and we need to work hard because then you can understand that someone else worked hard and you can understand, oh, I don't do the thing that they're doing working hard, but I have a connected understanding. All my videos connect to this this we're all together in this and we can pretend like we're not, but it's not going to change that we're affecting each other. I am affecting people right now. I was in a bad mood earlier. I I don't even think I was in a bad mood. I was just focused. I was trying to get this going and in another video I was doing the lives. My mom had sent me a message texting about fixing uh the weed eater for her. I just putting it together for her, which I went out and I did that. And but as I was coming out, I you know, it's my personality. Like I I acknowledged that I'm don't like doing this. I don't like putting together electronics is basically what I said. I said I don't as I'm bending down to put it together.

[00:06:36]So I'm doing the thing. I didn't argue against do I didn't even argue, you know, she she usually will ask me to put stuff together, right? So I will go and you know like I enjoy that stuff. I enjoy putting stuff together instructionwise. This is a weed eater and to me um there's a safety issue with it. So, [laughter] so that's more my concern with putting together a weed.

[00:06:59]First of all, just for the record, I've never used a weed eater weed eater in my entire life ever.

[00:07:05]I I know what they are, but I've never had a lawn. I've never owned a a home with a lawn. I've never had a reason to use or need a weed eater. So, I am having to not only figure out how to put it together using the instructions, but figure out what it it's supposed to look like in the first place. Figure out how it works, like what the weed eater actually does.

[00:07:29]Because I guess what I could have done is open up the instructions and go to figure A and try to figure out this stuff. But to me, it's more important understanding the root and the function and how the system actually is put together and functions. And then the directions make sense. you know, I'm not reading English. It looks like Japanese cuz I don't understand the thing I'm trying to put together, which is a whole different topic. As I'm sitting there, I felt like there's a lot of pressure here because a weed eater, if I didn't screw it in correctly or something like that thing's just going to it could hurt my mother. I just didn't want to I don't like that pressure, you know. And the last weed eater I put together for her, this one has a string.

[00:08:09]The last one was a blade. Let me tell you, I was nervous about that one, and it worked. It didn't hurt her, but it did break because she hit it a rock and then she realized she needed a string because it just the one with the blade just couldn't go around the the corners.

[00:08:23]You know, the things that we learn cuz she had never used a weed eater as well.

[00:08:26]So, I bent down and I was like, I don't like the pressure putting the together these electronics. And it was specifically thinking in my head the pressure of having something that could be dangerous, a flying blade, right? I didn't say it happily. I guess I didn't say it angrily either. I just said it kind of when you're in the mode of I had been working and I had not been thinking. I didn't even know. She was not even necessarily supposed to hear it. She was just around. If you haven't noticed, I talk a lot. I do that by myself as well. [laughter] So yeah, I said it and she was just like, "Then don't do it. You don't have to do it." And she like left the room and slam the door and I was Oh. So I guess she was not in the mood. And I guess I must have not been obviously in the right mood to to express that opinion and for her to take it as just me saying it because I wasn't angry and I was doing the thing and I wasn't even mad or frustrated at all. But I do sound like it sometimes. That's something I'm working on. [laughter] It's a personality thing I'm working on. I just I think how people feel about things does matter and and we can't force everyone to feel the same. But if we have no experience that we can share anymore, nothing, that's where I'm at.

[00:09:43]It's it's because Hollywood sucks. So there's not even that anymore. It's like Hollywood, do something. Give me something to believe in. I think Hollywood is our hope. It needs to fix some things that I I will talk about.

[00:09:57]But that's why I do focus on it because I believe that there is a collective memory, a collective experience that we still need to have. And I don't know how to have it, but I don't want the collective experiences to all be traumatic PTSD forming experiences, which is what we've had over the last decade. And it's just not. No one's good. No one's happy with each other.

[00:10:21]Everyone's frustrated. Everyone's triggered. time. Me and my mom don't just argue like that. So, she was obviously frustrated about something and I must have I must have been frustrating her. Um, it must have had something to do with me. I just can't imagine that that came from nowhere. I'll think about that. I will contemplate how I can improve. I think she would be surprised at how often I work on trying to fix myself for my family.

[00:10:49]I work a lot on it. I think about it a lot and I try to make active steps.

[00:10:56]I just have a personality that I like I think I'm I seem pretty happy, but I also think I can come across as more intense, but I'm not feeling the intensity that it seems like is being expressed. Or maybe I am and I just don't care because I don't react to my feelings the same. I don't know. Oh, to be me. To be me. So, we are talking about collective memory and and how you remember things. And memory is such a weird concept. I love thinking about it, but even trying to figure out like how it even works. How does memory work when you're thinking about the things that you remember?

[00:11:37]I What is something?

[00:11:41]No, I'm not. I'm not. Um, okay. So, the thing that popped into my head is a rap that I wrote a parody to a rap song. I wrote um what 2008 when I was on my old show um on the morning show and we used to do bits and things and we would have parody contests sometimes and we would get a theme that day and then we'd go home at night we'd write a parody and we'd come back and perform it and then someone would get eliminated live and then we'd get another theme do the same thing overnight until by the end of the week we have a winner. But what's funny is that there was, you know, at least 4 days worth of songs to do. And this wasn't the finale song, but I remembered this. I think I could I could perform this, I bet, for you. The theme was cereal. And I did Snoop Dog Jin and Juice is the song. Rolling down the street smoking, sipping on Jin and Juice, laying back with my mind on my money and my money on my mind.

[00:12:47]I don't know if if it it would censor me, so I didn't want to say um drugs, but with so much drama in the LBC kind of hard being Snoop Dog G, but uh somehow someway keep coming up with funky like every single day. This is a wall if you're wondering. There's nothing there. Not looking at anything.

[00:13:08]I guess it's just how to access memory again. Another concept of memory. So that's the that's the song. So, I did a parody about cereal and I'm going to perform it for you guys to prove how memory is very odd. This is what I'm saying. Why would I remember this? I mean, we've done other things on the show and there were multiple songs I wrote that week. Why is this one I remember phrases which is why I think I'm going to I'm going to try to do it.

[00:13:37]Why that song? Is it because of the rhythm? I only had overnight and it wasn't the finale night. It wasn't my winning number or whatever. So, I can remember I did a Taylor Swift song, our song, but I can't remember any of it. It was about reality show reality TV family. I did a song about Justin Timberlake cuz we did a celebrity crush day and that was to Bullying for Soup.

[00:14:02]You come back to Texas. But I can't remember those songs. I am procrastinating. I don't know why I offered to do this.

[00:14:10]This song was about cereal.

[00:14:14]Theme cereal.

[00:14:19]The song's for you, Lucky. Count Choulcula. I'm a man. Two can stand.

[00:14:27]When I want something sweet at 4 in the morning, I'm eating my fruit loops with soy milk. I'm a friend of the toucan and the toucan is my friend. I'm going to take you back back when I was three. The doctor said that milk was very bad for me. But I couldn't wouldn't go a day without the count, Tony. Lucky that be your captain. So I did a little something called a compromise. Every night I can still eat them dry and I can still enjoy with milk that's made of soy that my mama recommends. I got a box full of lucky charms calling my name I'll devour in an hour with no sense of shame. I'll eat those cocoa puffs, too.

[00:15:02]Oh, are those some fruity pebbles I'm seeing behind you, too. Got some frosted flakes. I'm set to go. What? But wait, I need my Cheerios. Pops. Can't control myself around Cookie Cris. So what?

[00:15:12]Sorry, Mom. Remember tricks are for kids. When I want something sweet at 4 in the morning, I'm eating my fruit loops with soy milk. I'm a friend of the toucan and the toucan is my friend. I want something sweet in the morning. I'm eating my fruit loops with soy milk. I'm a friend of the toucan and the toucan is my friend.

[00:15:36][sighs] What just happened?

[00:15:42]What? I did it though. I mean, I I didn't do it perfectly. Yeah, I fumbled some words, but let me just say why why like of all the things I could remember, I'm shaking. I got adrenaline going. I don't know why I remember that. I remember I spent so long trying to memorize the waterfalls. You know, Lisa Left Eye Lopez, the waterfalls rap that she does. I spent time though when I was in elementary school learning that I wanted to do it perfectly and and that's elementary school. So I'm gonna see if I can still do that one. But why is this random one that I performed once I I didn't have to memorize it. I could read it. Why do I remember it? It shocks me to this day clearly. So the waterfall just cuz I promised it. And I know I'm not good at rapping. That's like that's kind of the the joke. I mean that was the joke on the parody just for me.

[00:16:40]Yeah, I just wanted to learn that I loved that song and I loved the rap. So, and I didn't know I wasn't supposed to rap when I was in fourth grade, right?

[00:16:47]Like I didn't know [laughter] that that wasn't something I was supposed to do. I seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms are coming and gone leaving a trace. I'm not with God given ray. Is it because my life is 10 shades of gray? I pray old fade away. Seldom praise them for the sunny days. And like his promise is true, only my faith can undo. The many chances I blew to bring my life to a new clear blue and unconditional skies will dry the tears from my eyes. No lonely cries. My only bleeding hope is for the folk who can't cope with such an enduring pain that it keeps them in the pouring rain. Who's to blame for tooting Kane into your own vain? What a shame you're shooting name for someone else's pain. You claim me insane and name this day and time of fall and pray to crime.

[00:17:21]Pray the system got to victim to your own mind. Dreams of hopeless aspirations and hopes are coming true. Believe in yourself. The rest is up to me and you.

[00:17:28]So I almost did it.

[00:17:31]So what was the part I got wrong? See that's the thing. I can't like what a shame you shoot name for someone else's B. You cla You claim me insane and name this day and time of fall and prey to crime play. The system got you victim to your own mind.

[00:17:44]You claim me insane and name this day and time of fallen prey to crime. I say the system got you victim to your own mind. Dreams are hopeless aspirations and hopes are coming true. Believe in yourself. The rest is up to me and you.

[00:17:55]Okay. So yeah, that's the words. So I remember it. I mean, being being able to physically like actually say it is that's a whole different thing. Like motor skill-wise, I'm not like still um up to up to speed motor skill-wise uh as when I was doing it. I mean, that was I I'm not going to do that one. I was going to say one week. I learned that one. The verses I learned the one week verses. I don't think I could say them as Okay, I'm gonna have to try. Like I can't bring it up and not try. Right.

[00:18:30]Okay.

[00:18:32]Okay. I don't think I can do it as fast as it, but I think I can still remember the words. This was something in sixth grade was like maybe it was seventh grade. I don't know. But I would I spent all summer to learn this. I really did.

[00:18:46]Okay. I need to take a sip. I need to prepare.

[00:18:51]Chickity China. The Chinese chicken. You have a drumstick and your brain stops ticking. Watching X files with the lights on with dollar son. I hope the smoking man's in this one like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic lifting I'm tant trick lift makers guaranteed to satisfy like carousel I make bad films care I don't make films but if I did then I have a samurai got to get a set of better clips and find the kind with tiny up just on my ar always flying off the back swing got to get into cuz that cartoon has got the boom anime babes that made me think the wrong thing how can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad trying hard not to smile though I feel bad okay that's the first one I didn't can't do it as fast but I got most of the words okay that was tricky China okay Hold. And now I watch the hood wing. Does this make you stop?

[00:19:29]Think. You think you're looking at Aquaman. I sell my fish to the dish.

[00:19:31]Although I like the shelly switch. I like the sushi cuz it's never touch a frying pan. Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes. Pick like the rhymes because I'm all about value. B camp got the mad hits. You try to match width. You try to hold me better through. Going to get a set of better clubs. Going to find the kind with tiny enough just so my arms are always flying out the backstream. Oh no.

[00:19:47]Gonna take a break and make a fake.

[00:19:49]Gonna take a break and make a shake. I got it like a sticky bacon. Dang. But that's it. It's the take a break. So, okay. [snorts] B campers got the mad hits. You try to mad switch. Try to hold me by a bus through. Going to take a break and make a pick. I like stinky naked. Shake it like vanilla. It's the finest of the flavors. Got to see the show cuz then you'll know the vertigo is going to go cuz it's so dangerous. You'll have to sign a waiver. Huh. Okay. So, that is it. I didn't I didn't do it all the way through. Basically, I remember these weird things. So I guess the point was about how memory is important. Memory is important guys. The end.

[00:20:38]Let's go.
